Starting point is 00:00:00 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says quarevo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo.
Starting point is 00:00:15 I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo.
Starting point is 00:00:29 The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo. This is the Dan Levator show with the Stugats podcast. Amino Hassan will be here shortly to give us his weekend observations. There are some more football things I wanted to get to.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Tony's not here today, so let's just recreate his top five. I'll do his top five because Tony, I don't know what happened. He had some sort of emergency. So I've got top five football observations, mine on behalf of Tony. OLLI, number one, Max Brosmer is the first quarterback that's ever played that Tony will not fall in love with. That play where he just flung the ball and... I want to go play? A pick six.
Starting point is 00:01:26 I'm going to say that was the worst feeling. of the weekend for any football player if it had not been for another OLLI. Matthew Stafford, hydroplaining five yards backwards on a pick six as the final block makes him go from the five-yard line on his back to the goal line is the worst he's felt in 10 weeks.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Hydro-plaining on his back. A pick-six and two interceptions in the first quarter, a fumble at the end of the game. He's been clean for 10 straight weeks. Why'd Brosmer throw that? One of the worst plays in NFL history. We're still in OLI. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:02:04 Eagles fans are pooing. Hey! Is that right? Hey! Is that right? Still in OLA.L. The Cowboys, huh? Also, O'LI. Guys doing first down. First down.
Starting point is 00:02:23 It's done. It's over. Be done with the first down signal. You got to let the crowd know. No, it's over. It's all, too many of you are doing it. It's too many of you. You know, you can't see the yellow line when you're there in person. Keel and Marion for Miami did a first down signal when he was two and a half yards short.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Number five. I believe Tua slid and thought he got a first down and then stood up and realized they marked him like three yards back. Get them all out of here. Oh, my God. Tua O-L-I-as-well, I-N-T, 14 interceptions. Worst in the league. Was that a punt? I have to check with McDaniel on that.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Tell me about that arm punts. It was on first down. Zaslo is just proclaiming him terrible. Bad. Proclaim? Is anyone else watching the game besides me? Even Greg Cody's turned on. He is a broken, awful football player.
Starting point is 00:03:11 I don't know if anybody watched that game outside of you. I was mad that I had to watch. I turned the sound off at one point. I had the four screen going. I had the sound on. And I'm like, what am I doing? Number five. You want to guess how many times Gino Smith has been sacked the last two games?
Starting point is 00:03:25 600. Fifteen! Hey! 15. They're terrible. Tom Brady, bad owner. Did you see the reports about Chip Kelly? About how he was calling for personnel groupings that were non-existent, how he was calling plays that weren't in a game plan?
Starting point is 00:03:45 No way. No way. I mean, it looked like that, didn't it? That's why he got fired, that he was calling plays that weren't installed in the game plan. But he wants the personnel that allows 13 guys on the field? He was calling for personnel groupings that just weren't installed. That can happen, though. And Madden sometimes, you'll, like, be playing with the team and you're expecting a play, but that's not without, they don't have that play in the offense.
Starting point is 00:04:04 So you get to call a different play. Number four, Sky Moore has the coolest name in the sport. Sky with two whys. Number three, I really loved watching Trent Williams against Miles Garrett. Seeing Miles Garrett's struggle, that was something to behold. You've seen Miles Garrett's arms? Yeah, they're big. Like a lot bigger than mine, man.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Yes, his arms are bigger than yours. But like a lot. That's astute. Number two, check out the cold schedule the rest of the way. And number one, oh, the chiefs are done, huh? The whole chief's thing is done. I got the Texans this week. Oh, it's done.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Must win? Well, the chief's thing is done now, though, right? I guess that's a little unceremonious, right? because we keep thinking they'll come back, they'll always come back, but this year they're bad in one-score games. I did a deep dive. You know, Dolphins still in the hunt.
Starting point is 00:05:04 So I did a deep dive on every, you know, team kind of in the hunt and their remaining schedule. And I think the number to get to, 10 and 7 should get you in the playoffs. So the Chiefs are in the mix at 4 and 8. Chiefs are at six losses. So technically I think they have one more game they can lose. But I think, yeah, Dan, it's going to be tough for the Chiefs.
Starting point is 00:05:23 So it's based on the AFC being bad, and yet still, if you get to the playoffs, and the Chiefs have to go on the road against the Colts with a broken fibula of Daniel Jones or the Patriots with two broken tackles. Yeah, I like the Chiefs. We're going to keep doing that?
Starting point is 00:05:40 We're going to do all season that the AFC is so broken that none of these teams can actually kill the Chiefs because you're not even going to believe in the bills. You can't believe in the Ravens, right? I didn't even get to the Ravens. I didn't even say the Ravens here. Lamar Jackson does not look like Lamar Jackson.
Starting point is 00:05:55 What happened? But somebody explained that to me. He's the MVP of the league. What? Is he hurt? Why is he not running? He's not running. I think it's the same fear that everyone has with quarterbacks that are just so astronomically talented physically is over the course of a career, those hit start adding up.
Starting point is 00:06:15 And Lamar Jackson has had his injuries. When you have just the slightest dilution to that athleticism that made you so much more athletic than everybody else, then the difference between. you and everybody else gets closed real quick. Doesn't it stand to reason if we're talking about how good sports in general have gotten at measuring the value of people, measuring the value of how good and important is this athlete? If I tell you in that sport, the economics of it make it so that the running back is disposable, even if you have someone as good as Kenneth Walker, the running back is disposable.
Starting point is 00:06:56 financially. You're telling me it's so. You're telling me we're going to burn through H. Hand's body so that when it's time to pay him, you don't pay him. You're just going to burn those years of his body, and it's going to happen faster than you've ever seen because of how violent and big and giant all of these people are. When Mike speaks to The Lost a Step, I every Sunday marvel at the fact that these giant people can't tackle Josh Allen, that he's too big and strong and his body's not going to break down. He's available all the time. Herbert's available all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:27 He's also physically very big, but Herbert is breaking body part at a time because he gets hit way too much, way too much. Are we willing to say, in that position, the organization of the Ravens, has been great for a long time, just organizationally over different eras of football. And one of the ways they game the system
Starting point is 00:07:47 over the last few years is their running back, has been their quarterback, and then they add Derek Henry. You think the miles are going to end up costing Derek? Henry at some point, but the economics of the position and the physicality of the position has it chewed up Lamar Jackson from inside the Ravens like architecture. I think it's a fair question to ask. When you look at the nature of his turnovers there, some of that was pretty embarrassing and it didn't look like the Lamar that we know. He is used to being able to escape
Starting point is 00:08:18 that sack at the last second and underhand something. And the drop in athleticism could be as small as usually you hold on to that ball and it doesn't slip out of your hands. Maybe you're thinking a little bit more about what you have to do physically to escape that. He was his own play action before. It's crazy to consider that a lost step of athleticism would already be here for Lamar Jackson, right? Makes sense. It doesn't, it doesn't though, right? Because he's still a young man.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah, but he plays a style of football that ages you, I think, prematurely, which is everyone's concern when you get one of the mobile quarterbacks that enter the league. Sometimes it looks like that. You have a quarterback that plays a little bit more traditional from the pocket but also had athleticism aid him. Look what happened to Aaron Rogers. The tail off in Aaron Rogers' play is about five years going right now. And you could see a dip in his performance once his escapeability,
Starting point is 00:09:09 which was always super underrated, started diminishing. And now he's a guy who's rightfully scared of any contact and he's throwing balls in the dirt to avoid it. And he's literally curling up in plays that. He's curling up to avoid the play that. got them beat at the very beginning of yesterday where he doesn't have the physical sense in the pocket anymore to know that someone is chasing him from behind. It's just aging. That a bossa is chasing him from behind. It's just aging and guys who are so relying on
Starting point is 00:09:37 their athleticism tend to age a little quicker. Do we point out that before Thursday night, the Ravens had one five in a row? Yeah, but they had the part of the schedule that was supposed to be easy because it was Browns and Jets and Bengals. And he wasn't overly impressive. Look at the Colts next five games. You do not want that schedule. The Colts are headed for a buzzsaw and their quarterback has a fractured leg. And Dominique Foxworth was saying before this last game. He was saying –
Starting point is 00:10:07 You guys want to play a little WL? The Colts have a quarterback problem. We're not going to do WL. It's only five games, Sam. You said look at the next five games. I'm just telling people – How can I look at it and not play that? The reason I'm doing that is only because I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:10:18 It's twice against Jacksonville. It's once against Seattle. You're asking me, tax. I believe at Jacksonville, what do we think? I believe I had them going 10 and 7. They were one of my 10 and 7ers. So at Jacksonville, that's a win. Oh, Spiro better be on that cause.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Just so I can hear them go, the Jigs! At Seattle. That's a tough one. We know what they just did against Brasmer. Then they host on Monday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers. They play the Jags twice, so they have, if that's an easy game, those are their two easy games.
Starting point is 00:10:49 The Jigs. The Jigs. And the final week of the Jigs. season. They're at Houston. For a playoff spot? Unless they lose to the Jaggs twice. CJ Stroud. There are plenty of people who saw what happened yesterday and said the Texans are the
Starting point is 00:11:02 team no one wants to see in the AFC playoffs because they can beat you with defense. They can beat you with pass rush. I hear you. I'm going to go with the team that's made nine straight conference championships. Yeah, I'd be okay. I don't want to see the greatest quarterback of all time if I'm in the playoffs. This week you get Texans chiefs. And the winner,
Starting point is 00:11:19 the loser of that, I would say, well, I guess the Texans could lose that and still make it. Derek Stingley's been unbelievable for Houston. He just eliminates the side of the field for them. Solid player. I think the Bengals are going to win the AFC North. They're 4 and 8. But you see their schedule too?
Starting point is 00:11:32 Yep. All let me see. Let's do this. They could win the rest of their games. I love this. It's Joe Burrow, 4 and 8 chasing down Aaron Rogers and Lamar Jackson, who were limping. And they play the ratings twice. Put up the Bengals schedule.
Starting point is 00:11:43 All right. At Buffalo. At Buffalo this weekend. They could win it. They could win, but we would make that a loss then? Fine, fine. Just in case? I wouldn't, though, given that with.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Joe Burrow, that team has gone into Buffalo and has beaten Buffalo. All right, so at Buffalo. Then they host the Ravens. And pick up a game on them. Okay. Then they're at the Dolphins. And that would give them the season series sweep over the rain.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Dolphins will be in the hunt. Do we think they'll be able to beat the dolphins in Miami? Yep, win. Okay. Video, can you just keep putting stacking schedules on top of each other? Oh, I thought you'd never ask them. Just keep, just the rest of this segment, just continue to just stack schedules on top of each other. The Dolphins offense can't keep up with him.
Starting point is 00:12:23 All right, so then they're going to host the Arizona Cardinals. I mean, that's an obvious W. And then at the end of the year, they'll host Cleveland. I have not mentioned enough, okay? Just let me walk through the audio. I'd like to walk the audio audience through something that is largely visual. But I saw two catches yesterday that I can argue among the best ever made in professional football. I can assemble the argument on that Bowers touchdown and on that Pooka Naku.
Starting point is 00:12:52 you only have to, he only has to get one hand open now. The defender's hand, like, pinch the ball. You didn't even see the trail in Berks one. Oh, my Lord. He has a finger that is literally taped together. The way that Puka caught that ball is, I am going to try and describe this, while pushing off a defender, I think that was Mike Jackson, while pushing off a defender with his dominant hands.
Starting point is 00:13:22 but his dominant hand turned away from his face. He is catching a football with his right wrist. A football thrown 35 yards, I'm going to say. This is the good stuff. This is the good stuff. 35 yards. I would love to just talk over this and describe both of the catches because I once saw Mark Bavaro catch a ball with one bare hand.
Starting point is 00:13:43 It was close to the ground and he just snatched it. And that's when I realized these people have limbs and stuff that are much bigger than ours. That's a tight end right there. But you saw the Bowers catch, correct? Well, Bowers is a tight end. Now, good luck explaining to your parents or your kids, rather, that Bowers was a dominant tight end, as dominant as you've ever seen,
Starting point is 00:14:02 even with bad offenses and a quarterback being sacked 15 times in two games. And he looked like that head of hair. Like, he is totally undermining what athleticism is supposed to look like by having that particular head of hair. So the Cowboys are at the Lions on Thursday night football this week. That's a loser's out game. That's a make or break game. Losers out game, then the Texans.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Is Texans chiefs a big game or not? Is Texans a big game or not? Because you just said that's a team either. That's a game that's a game that's a loser's out game. And then you said the Texans might be able to survive. Texans. They could probably survive. Chiefs. Texans have seven wins. Chiefs have six. Both these teams. We'll miss the playoffs, not a big game. Whoa. Can't be a big game if both teams are not going to make a playoffs. Why would that be a big game? Why would it? Why would a game be big? Because the chiefs only play big game. two teams that are not in the playoffs. I'm not going to argue with this sound, but the chiefs always play big games. You're going to tell me that a game that would properly extinguish them when we're sitting here arguing, are they really out, and would they be a favorite against all the other AFC teams? They're one game better than the Dolphins, Dan. Why are we talking with such stupidity?
Starting point is 00:15:16 I thought you were just going to stop it at why are we talking? Have you heard of Goldbelly? It's this amazing site that I personally order from all the time.

Starting point is 00:18:57 story where he pays more than you do. Stugats. I always like leaving Dan on eye. Because he's so vulnerable. I just unfairly fade down the chickens. You just leave him by himself. This is the Dan Levatars show with the Stugats.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Are we playing a big game? We're not a big game, or are we not? You just said it's not a big game. And the Chiefs being eliminated, that's not something that can be quiet, right? It's not something that can happen quietly. They're 10th right now. It feels like they were eliminated yesterday. Or Thursday.
Starting point is 00:19:35 They're 10th. They're closer to last place than they are first place. But they do have two games of their five remaining at Tennessee and at Las Vegas. automatic devs they'll split those they'll split those Cowboys Lions Thursday
Starting point is 00:19:54 Amina al-Hasson is going to join us for his weekend observations in moments I want to remind the audience or I guess this year telling you for the first time we have learned on how it is to do our toy drives over the years and we have now partnered here with
Starting point is 00:20:09 branches and Amazon's wish list that branches has so that before December 15th all of you can support our annual toy drive without actually having to come to where it is that we are. You could just go to lebitartaf.com and know that if you're donating dolls, remote
Starting point is 00:20:26 control cars, Nerf toys, board games, craft kits, perfumes and colognes, building toys, legos, educational toys, action figures, gift cards. Zazlo, the game of Clue. Big game, not a big game. Oh, what a game. Clue?
Starting point is 00:20:42 Colonel Mustard, in the kitchen, with the wrench? That's a big game. Big game. Monopoly, big game, not a big game. Oh, Monopoly. Come on, come on. Now, who, what kind of, is that Jeremy? Did Jeremy do that? Two hundred dollars, Pescoe.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Is Monopoly a big game? It's one of the old-timers. Some people don't like Monopoly. But it's a first ballot Hall of Fame. Roll doubles three times. Get out of jail free. You're saying that if Monopoly's not a big game, then what the hell's a big game, Jeremy? You realize you. Blue, apparently. No, Clip. Bigger game.
Starting point is 00:21:14 You know about that free parking? Put it on the poll at Lebitrard show. Bigger game. Clue or Monopoly? Operation, big game, not a big game. Don't try and cover your tracks. Operation. The game is so unrealistic. Do you guys buy Mediterranean Ave if you land on it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:28 The purple, the purple one? You do that? No, I pass on that. I'm just so locked in on boardwalk and park place. Like, I can't see anything else. These guys don't know how to get a monopoly. Atlantic Avenue, I believe. The green one, I like the green.
Starting point is 00:21:41 The thing is, do you allow trading when you play? Oh, yeah, late in the game. Come on, of course. The only rule is there are no rules at the end. Lebitardaf.com. We're teaming with branches. They do good work. We've vetted them. And so the toy drive will be a bigger thing this year. And it's been pretty big in the past because we're not asking you to actually go anywhere to give us physically toys. You just have to go to lebitardaf.com. And there are an assortment of kids here who will get nice holiday things if it's easy for you.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Lebitardaf.com. Zaslow, you were cold all weekend. And then you get on. on a flight and did you watch a movie that would make a mean proud of you? I think so. I watched a movie on my way to Norman, Oklahoma this weekend. I watched for the very first
Starting point is 00:22:27 time a James Bond movie. Okay, we'll get to that with Amin in a second, but he just dropped out even though he was waiting the entire time. So we'll be with him back in so he should be here in a second. So do you have a report for us on a report for Amin? Which movie did you see of James Bond? Now,
Starting point is 00:22:43 I admitted, I know I will like the James Bond movies. It's not like I'm like, oh, I don't want to watch James Bond movies. I do want to watch the James Bond movies. I just, I just hadn't. I'd never seen a single James Bond movie. So which one did you see? Well, I'm watching the Daniel Craig once. So I saw Casino Royale.
Starting point is 00:23:00 The first ten minutes of that are very good. Yeah, I thought the whole movie was very good. I enjoyed it. The first 10 minutes of it were very good. Yeah, he kills that guy right away. Yeah, but James Bond, is Daniel Craig where... I mean, where would you rank Daniel Craig? Is he all-time bonds is? Is he second?
Starting point is 00:23:17 Is he third? Oh, as far as James Bond's go? You know, so Sean Connery obviously is number one. That's obvious? That's the consensus. That's what everyone says. Like when people think James Bond, they think Sean Connery. Then it turns into
Starting point is 00:23:33 Are you a rod? I mean, like if I watch the Sean Connery ones now, would hold up? I mean, yes and no. Yes and no. It's an old movie. I am playing bowl. tries. And then now some people like Pierce Brosden, some people like Roger Moore as as the second best right there. I think man, you know, Daniel Craig might be might be in the conversation for second best with Roger Moore and, uh, but if he's, but if someone is saying to you, they've watched
Starting point is 00:24:01 a bond movie. You said that your opinion should be disqualified as a movie critic if you have never seen a bond movie. He's now seen one bond movie with possibly the fourth best or fifth best Bond. Does that qualify him now to have more opinions about movies that you respect? Well, yeah. So when people say, hey, I've never seen James Bond, what should I watch? I tell him to start with
Starting point is 00:24:25 the Daniel Craig one, because they feel like modern movies. I think people can keep up with them. Now, if he watches all the Daniel Craig movies, maybe then we can start to, maybe we can start to kind of like have conversations. But right now, watching one Bond movie, get out of here. No, I will not get out of here because I'm
Starting point is 00:24:41 going to watch all. No, I will not get out of here because I'm going to watch all the Daniel Craig James Bond movies. Yeah, you're going to get out of here and go watch the rest of them. And then you can come back and talk about. Where does Casino Royale hold up with the Daniel Craig Bond movies? Is it one of the better ones?
Starting point is 00:24:58 I would say it's one of the better ones. Yeah. Yeah, it was good. I like them. They have a quality. Here's the thing about the Daniel Craig James Bond movies. They have a very Mission Impossible quality of life. I totally felt like I was watching Mission Impossible. Yeah. It's like I enjoy watching this.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I don't remember a whole lot. It's like, oh, yeah, it was good. Like, what's it about? I don't know. It's a casino. It's a great point. The Mission Impossible movies, Dan, the only thing I remember from Mission Impossible is Henry Cabell doing the thing with
Starting point is 00:25:24 his wrists. That's what I love. And it's all I remember. The bathroom. Yeah, in the bathroom. But the first 10 minutes of Casino Royale are exceptional. Like, they might be the first, they might be the best 10 minutes of Bond that Daniel Craig did. That's the one in Mexico, right?
Starting point is 00:25:39 So it's in Mexico City. It's all the parkour that they're doing through the construction sites. the lunacy of that chase. I don't remember, I'm still trying to remember of this one where it starts with the parade in Mexico. The funny thing about that, Dan,
Starting point is 00:25:55 is that parade did not exist prior to that movie in Mexico, like in real life, but then the Day de la Morte and actually life imitated art.
Starting point is 00:26:10 So I'm worried about your internet and I'm worried about doing weekend. observations this way, but we're going to power through it at the beginning, and if you have one failure, we're going to get rid of you it, and it'll still be better than last week was. Is Casino Royale the one where he also emerges from the waves in that powder-blue speedo looking hot? Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 00:26:26 No. Is it? Is it? Is it? I thought it was the second one. My point was packing. No, I believe you don't. Talking about his dick. I'm going to go ahead and question a means knowledge, given that he doesn't have basic facts about Casino Royale. He's merging his Daniel Craig movie. and can't remember what's what? Dan, I'm going to tell you something else about Amin that I learned over the weekend. I learned something about you, Amin, and I'm gonna tell everybody about now right now.
Starting point is 00:26:51 What's that? Amin, big time, my internet sucks. Big time TV fraud. Big TV fraud. How? You've never seen Stranger Things. Get the hell out of here. Nah, man. I'm not watching that, man. I ain't watching that shit.
Starting point is 00:27:10 What am I watching a show about kids? You fool Oh, little kids all I feel good about this I think we should do it Don Lebertard I actually thought you looked kind of good Stugats
Starting point is 00:27:25 That good I have the beard's grown out a little bit I got a little life in my face I feel like little tan Colorado San Francisco I had a great time You get life on your face You've got death on your face
Starting point is 00:27:36 I think you've got 40 to life on your face I think you've got 40 to life on your face This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. I mean, let's just stop. Let's start weekend observations. I didn't think you could do worse than last week, but I salute you for doing somehow worse than last week. Yes, Daniel Craig was packing.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Yeah, very hot, unquestionably hot. I actually saw that picture. I'm like, let me see if I could buy one of these Pitos. And then I was like, nah. Yeah. I won't look at that good. Really? You thought you'd look like that? It made you want to see what does this cost. Everyone wants to see what they'd look like in that.
Starting point is 00:28:20 No, that's not true in any way. You just take it for a walk. I hate too much selfie. Take it for a walk. Maybe you walk out, show your wife, be like, yay, nay. I was also parqueurious because I'm pretty sure this speedo costs like $3,000. Chris, you want to see what you look like that? Like I said, like I said, take it for a walk. I'd like to see that. I'd like to watch you walk.
Starting point is 00:28:37 I would not want you taking a walk. Oh, the love handles. New bucket punishment, folks. No punishment is emerging from the waves in that speedo. I said, take it for a walk. Yes, no, we're going to do it. A walk out of the waves. Out of the beach, it'll be either...
Starting point is 00:28:51 This one, I was more half kidding. You or me or what, yes. Amin, are you ready to do your weekend observations? Well, we're doing it. With bad internet. Let's do it. It is time for him to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I mean. Weekend observations is presented by Miller. light. All right, we got that part in. All right, we're good. All right, cool. Dan, Georgia Tech had the dream season, led by a Heisman-worthy quarterback, with hopes of a college football playoff berth on the horizon. But with back-to-back losses.
Starting point is 00:29:27 Including one where I lost. It's unbelievable. That's not your cooking. Keep cooking. We didn't hear any of your punchline. hear anything you said. I mean, not giving a sink. Awesome. Tremendous. L. Duncan, making a bet to potentially wear Georgia Tech gear on SportsCenter. Then leaving ESPN the next day. Heady play. Can't be mad at that. The Colts, losers of three of their last four. They'll have the Seahawks, Niners, and Jags twice left on their schedule. You hear that sound, Dano? I can't hear anything you're
Starting point is 00:30:09 saying because you're garbled happy. No, we got you. Keep going. That's the sound of a clock striking midnight. Pumpkin time. The fins. Keep hope alive. I told you, Greg.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Stay strong. Stay strong, Greg Cody. Where is he? Where is Greg Cody? He'll be here tomorrow and Wednesday. Oh, okay. Oh, boy. For about a half of football.
Starting point is 00:30:39 the Raiders. I got it. That's enough. The Chargers. All right. That's enough. All right. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:30:47 That again. Just get out of here. Going out like a sucker. You got to do better next week, okay? You have to do better next week. I mean, you have to do better next week. I mean, what are I what I'm going to do? I wrote it.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I wrote it. It's good. The jokes are good. What am I supposed to do? All right, keep cooking. I'm supposed to go out on top of the roof and, like, Like, have them hook up wires and shit. Like, I'm responsible.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Okay, we're good. All right. Here we go. We fought through it. You got one more chance at this, and then you're doing the rest of this on social media only. For about a half of football, I thought the Raiders. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:31:28 You're not peeking at the right time, now. Do the rest of it on social media. Do it. Progress. Finish it without our help. Get out of here. You're not ruining any more. Weekend observations are presented by Miller.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I'm sorry. Don't look now, but... What a disgrace. Hey, hey, I'm going to quit my job and go work for... Ha ha. You know how hard it is to be... Do you know how hard it is to be worse than he was last week? I mean, I didn't think it was possible to be worse than he was last week,
Starting point is 00:32:17 and yet somehow better, because what's funnier than his first entire punchline being garbled up? It was perfect timing for him to get cut off, honestly, from the internet. By the internet. Oh, my God. All right, enough of Mario Cristobal. We've talked enough college football. I wouldn't mind if a mean broken voice continued to make appearances over the next seven minutes as he just sits there. Put him in the picture and picture and just make him suffer there without being able to do anything other than sit there.
Starting point is 00:32:45 The frozen picture right now. I want to know how many times I have to shout for as much as we analyze football. Sorry. For as much as we analyze football around here, year-round, and especially this time of year. The Eagles fundamentally falling apart every time Lane Johnson is hurt is crazy. is crazy. Like in terms of Jason Kelsey's the one who got all the fame for being the offensive
Starting point is 00:33:13 linemen on that line. And yet when Lane Johnson is hurt, that team loses. Whether A.J. Brown gets his 100 yards or not. They kind of need Lane Johnson to be out there mauling people. And I don't I know we know that Lane Johnson and Trent Williams are
Starting point is 00:33:29 the most special of the physical beasts that there are at the tackle positions. Don't forget about Paul. In that sport? What about Paul? Paul is not quite in the Trent Williams category. That's a pro bowler. Second year. I'm not saying he's not good. I'm not saying he's not pro-bo Paul.
Starting point is 00:33:44 I exclusively watch Paul on Dolphins plays now. I'm so dialed in. It was really great analysis from Chris Cody. And now I am, I watch him more than I watch Fred Warner isolated. I'm just like, man, this Paul guy, he's a player. You build around him. It's great to have an offensive lineman whose name rhymes with Mall. Yes, and you can just call.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Still don't know, first or last name. Me neither. He's good. You'll agree, though, that it's funny that we spent so much time talking about A.J. Brown that Al Michaels, who's fed up, goes on Amazon Prime, and prime during the game on Friday. By the way, the rest of you, at Lebiturkshire, did you forget there was an NFL game on Friday? Because I did. If we can get to this tomorrow, PFPI forgot about that game.
Starting point is 00:34:27 A bunch of people didn't make picks, controversy. We can get to that tomorrow. They were not happy at the sports bar in Pittsburgh when I asked for Georgia, Georgia Tech on the sound, please. Did you look for inner Miami as well while you were? Had zero luck getting Apple TV at the sports bar, but also I was living and dying with every Michael Van Buren Jr. Pass, so I understood. So we had Damashek down here being like, where's the Pirates game? And now Mike's up in Pittsburgh being like, where's the Inter-M Miami game?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Different accent. Different places. Yeah. Mike adopted the accent just for being in Pittsburgh. For comedic purposes. Hey, Yin's got messy? You just couldn't find a championship level, a game to get to the MLS Cup. We were all at dinner, like, again, desperate for LSU's offense to do anything.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Somebody had it on their phone, and we were following the game. The game was pretty well in hand, like 10 minutes into it within Miami. Al Michaels is so fed up with just the general nature of sports media that he spit, like, with acid on the Friday broadcast, that A.J. Brown is surrounded by a cacophony of crap. That's great. meaningless talk, but we talk so much about Sequin and A.J. Brown, like, why are we ignoring that they lose every time they lose their right tackle? Their record, they lose two-thirds of their games when he's out. But I guess over the last few weeks, they've been strange. Like, their form has just been kind of all over the place, even when Lane Johnson's out there.
Starting point is 00:35:53 But I hear you, if you keep on with this herky-jurkey form and you don't have Lane Johnson, Lane Johnson probably deserves more credit than the other lane in sports right now for someone pointing to it and being like, this guy's really great. The reason I bring all of it up, okay, is because, look, you can have all the surprises you want in the NFL. You thought Detroit would be better this year. You're surprised the Bengals are still in it at four and eight. Everywhere you look, you can find an assortment of this is the wildest sort of football season of I'm not totally sure who's not flawed out there where you can see just about everyone being beaten but the for
Starting point is 00:36:35 Dallas to be in the position to chase down Philadelphia because what we saw I know I know a lot of people are shocked by Rams Carolina result but football sometimes happened the Rams had a nice run the thing that I saw over the course of the last week that was the most surprising thing to me is the Bears O line gutting on the road Philadelphia gutting Philadelphia, a champion Philadelphia team that has championship defense. I didn't see a bigger surprise than that this weekend, and I'm understanding what I'm saying, that Carolina was a 10-point underdog at home.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Hey, at what point do we give Jerry Jones credit? Right now. Because I understand, and Michael Parsons has been fantastic for Green Bay. But the George Pickens trade was unbelievable. He added Clowny, who has made a difference, and they look different with Quinn and Williams. Jerry Jones doing a pretty good job with the personnel. They could totally
Starting point is 00:37:30 with the division. They fixed their defense is what they did. That was a word through the first half. While trading Micah is wild. Yes. For the first half of the season, they were terrible at defense. Go look at those split. Look at the numbers. Their defense was on a pace to be truly terrible. Same as the dolphins. All time bad.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And Dallas now isn't quite good enough though because in the NFC, this is all crazy to say, right? The Bears atop the NFC. The Bears mauling Philadelphia to get to the top of the NFC, the Bears having a better record than the Rams when you were all questioning the Bears and their 8 and 3 going into
Starting point is 00:38:04 that game. For the Bears to be at the top of the NFC and for the 49ers to be at the bottom at 9 and 4, that's an insanity. Like what's happening over there. You're talking playoffs. Yeah, I'm talking about the bottom of the playoffs. I'm talking about the 9 and 4 barely
Starting point is 00:38:20 gets you in and knocks out Dallas in its current form and the lions in the current form because the conference is too good. Like the conference is too good because no one should understand how the 49ers are 9 and 4. Well, Cowboys at Lions, like we said, on Thursday. And then after the result of that, Zaz, I mean, the Cowboys have Minnesota at home after that. W.
Starting point is 00:38:40 They'll get the chargers at home after that at the commanders. W. And then they finish the year at the New York football Giants. That's a 10. That's 4 Ws. That's 4 Ws. You see them beating, so you see them beating Detroit on Thursday in Detroit. Oh, you didn't get me Detroit.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Detroit was where we started. No, L there, L. Okay, but anyways, big game, big game, or not a big game? Cowboys and lions? Cowboys Lions? I just told you, I think the Cowboys are going to win the NFC East. The Lions are fighting for their playoff lives. Dak Prescott, Jagoff, that's a big game.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Big game. That's a big game. Not in front, that's big game. For the bottom of the conference playoffs, while four and eight Bengals are still in it. You know what? We need to check in with the committee of things that are done to just because our show wants them. ACC, letting them in? No, just let's pick the best teams from the NFC and let's let the AFC sit it out this year.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Let's just take the... So no Joe Burrow. Maybe Joe Burrow. We'll let him and play in a few of the games. Mahomes, we let in. Mahomes, Josh Allen. But no Drake May or Bonnish. Just change.
Starting point is 00:39:49 I mean, it's already crumbling. We invoke three names. Let's do an NFL committee. It took the first three names. Two of them presently out for Dave. and be like, okay, probably bad idea. But maybe four AFC teams. No, I think the Dallas Cowboys are someone everyone would enjoy seeing the playoffs now in this form.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Why don't we just leave our hats at the door and make a 12-team playoff? Best 12 teams. I'll leave my hat at door. Are you? Is it best or most deserving? Do we count head-to-head? While we're cleaning stuff up, if you wanted to see what I would look like in that speedo. I don't.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Didn't you want to do a beauty pageant? Didn't you want to do a beauty pageant where all the college football teams were allowed to stand in front of everybody? guys mocked me. You mocked me for saying the ACC commissioner should just come out and say, it's Virginia Miami. That's who's playing. Man, I'm packing some heat in the phone. I think when there's a tie, how many two lost teams in the ACC are there? Four? And you're
Starting point is 00:40:37 talking about your dick. I'm not sure that's heat packing. There's four two lost teams. They're in the final. Let's see you, stud. All the other ACC teams vote like a beauty pageant, which two should deserve to go. No one's listening to me. It's fine. I'm sorry, we were all looking at Daniel Craig's
Starting point is 00:40:53 dick. Yeah. That is what was happening and then imagining me in that and then Mike Ryan threw it. Why did I get the smallest package? Yeah, mine looks bigger than Chris Chris's. Okay, great. Can we zoom it? No, I'm kidding. That's what we're doing? It's the shadow. Yeah, you're right. That is the shadow.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I'm pretty proud of myself. Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during
Starting point is 00:41:25 and reads like Quervo. I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots.
Starting point is 00:41:33 The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo.
Starting point is 00:41:41 The tequila. That invented tequila. Broximo. Quervo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo.
