You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Nah, not quite. What's up? Sell my car in Carvana. It's just not quite the right time. Crazy coincidence. I just sold my car to Carvana. What? I told you about it two days ago. When you know, you know. You know? I'm even dropping it off at one of those sweet car vending machines

and getting paid today. That's a good deal. Great deal. Come on, what's your heart saying? You're right. When you know, you know. Sold. Whether you're looking to sell your car right now

or just whenever feels right, go to Carvana.com and sell your car the convenient way. Terms and conditions apply. God bless football. Billy Gill. God bless football, Mike Fuentes. God bless football, Stu Gotts. Thank you, Mike Fuentes. Mikey A is out today. Lucy is now joining us as well. She is sick, a little bit under the weather. We hope she gets better. We had a great time. What's the matter, Billy? You share way too much information. People don't need to know that Lucy has a cold.

Well, I mean, people, they've come to expect on the Monday recap, they've come to expect that Lucy's going to be here. And I was just explaining why she's not going to be here. Yeah. Also, selfishly, I would say don't I don't want to give away the trick here but a lot of people don't like us very much but they do like Lucy and they tune in for Lucy. Right. So if you tell them in the first two seconds of the podcast Lucy's not here today that that might be the sayonara for them you know what I mean? Yeah just got got a text from Lucy, she's feeling better, she might join us in about 25 minutes.

That's a lie also. I said, she might, she might, she might. That's a lie also. What you could do is- Well, what was the first lie? The first lie was the truth, I mean. But that's definitely a lie, you were not texted by Lucy, so I don't tell people you were.

Just maybe at the end, you're like, oh, you know, Lucy, you're gonna join us. I was confused for a second, because I'm looking out of the side of my eye, and I don't see your phone, but then you somehow get a text, and I'm like, oh, you know, Lucy. I was confused for a second because I'm looking out of the side of my eye and I don't see your phone, but then you somehow get a text. And I'm like, okay. Right after, yeah. Incredible.

Anyway, thanks to the people who came out to Joe's on Weed in Chicago yesterday. That place was packed. I was surprised how packed it was, but we had a great time. And I got to tell you, Caleb Williams looked fantastic. I know we had a great time and I gotta tell you, Caleb Williams looked fantastic. I know Billy has a retraction he needs to make from yesterday's event.

Yesterday's live show. But Billy, we did have a good time and thank you to Smirnoff. Thank you to Draft Kings and thank you for all the folks uh who showed up to Joe's on weed. It was a good time. We had a great time. It was. It was nice.

It was and Matt Forte, I thought was a great guest. Yes. So much so that I'm already kind of reaching out and being like, I want to get Matt Forte on again. I would love to. You know what I mean? Yes. A lot of fun. I liked it and I liked becoming a Bears fan, Bear Down. I think the highlight of my day was

when Matt Forte actually referred to me as Bear Down Billy at one point in time, which was just, yeah. That was great. Unlike Lucy, Lucy goes to places and the team loses. Billy goes to Kansas City, they win. Billy goes to Chicago, they win. We're hot right now.

Like if we go to your town, your team at the moment is gonna win. That was a great game, not really, but it was. If you're a Bears fan, it was great. It was great if you're a Bears fan, if you're just watching and you didn't really care, it was kind of boring at the end because the Bears blew them out,

and I will say this, I will say this. Okay. And I may be ruining one of our winners and losers later. Wow. We're gonna get to winners and losers later presented by Smear off the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. We're not doing it right now, but I will say this,

and I know that there's a lot of VIPs out there that are big Taylor fans. When I came in today, you know what he told me? He goes, you know what that game was for Caleb Williams? You know what he did yesterday? And I said what? He said he arrived. He did. That was a big spot. It was a big game for Caleb Williams. I do think Billy, since you're so hot, since you know Kansas City wins when you go to Kansas City, since the Bears win when you go to Chicago, we should have football cities who desperately need a victory bid on me and Billy. Coming out to your-

On our services? Yes, yes. We'll come out to your city, do a live show, we'll turn into fans of your football team, and you'll get a W. How about that? We will just be professionals that you will pay for our services,

and we will travel to your town. Hired guns. To service you will pay for our services and we will travel. Yes. To your town. Hired guns. To service you. Yes. And give your team a win. Yes. While you're hot. Yeah. We should parlay this into money. Yes. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good. You guys have fun in Jacksonville. Well, they gotta win. They gotta win. They got off the schneid. Yeah, they don't need us. Yeah, one and four. Oh, he was so close to losing his job. He was. So, Billy has a retraction before we get to the end. I do, yeah.

The wonderful football weekend. It was great. I mean, from Thursday night until last night, it was one of the best football weekends I've witnessed in a long time. Yeah, so I'd like to issue a retraction because I was very strong yesterday when we were doing the live show, watch-along In Chicago as we mentioned, I know if you guys were watching but I

Said very matter-of-factly and and I don't want to give excuses here But we were watching, you know, you're watching the main game the Bears and the Panthers on a you know A nice TV and then all the other games we were watching, you know Like on a Sunday ticket in then all the other games we were watching, like on a Sunday ticket in a smaller TV and then they were all kind of smaller boxes and Josh Allen got injured yesterday and I said very matter of factly, he's not hurt. You can't hurt Josh Allen.

I would like to retract that. Josh Allen was clearly concussed. The fact that they sent Josh Allen back out there to play after that was crazy. His head banged the floor very hard. Before he, Billy, that was after he got knee'd in the head. Yeah, well, I mean, he looked like he lost consciousness when he was knocked down.

And then they gave him the smelling salts, and then he sprung right back into action, right back on the field like three plays later. There's a problem there. There's a problem with the protocol that he was able to go back out there that quickly. If you're wondering what happens in the blue tent, smelling salts happen.

I mean, essentially. He went into the blue tent, he came back out, he was ready to go. I mean. I just, I thought we had independent people involved following protocols to make sure things like that wouldn't happen because like he did not seem to be any condition to be going back out there to play.

The Dolphins got so criticized for putting Tua back in a game, I wonder if the Bills are gonna get criticized. I don't so much care about that to be perfectly honest with you because I saw that amongst Dolphin fans, you're like, oh look Josh Allen, I go, where are you, is everybody complaining, I hope you guys are coming out, I hope you're saying

that they should charge this coach with murder and all this. And it's like, okay, like, yeah, I guess, if you want to be like mad, but like also Tua shouldn't have gone back out either. You know what I mean? Like this shouldn't be like, oh, Tua should have been in if Josh can go in.

It's like, no, neither of them should be in. Like neither one should be in this situation. The big story from that, besides Josh Allen getting hurt, the big story in that game as the Texans get the win and they move to four and one and the Bills are three and two and that sets up a game for first place with the New York Jets on Monday night. The Jets who were lousy yesterday, they have a game in which if they win it, it will put them in first place. But the big news from that Buffalo game, Billy,

I don't know if you saw it because we were traveling. We had a lot to do yesterday. The Bills are tied with Houston 2020 lot to do yesterday. The Bills are tied with Houston 2020 late in the game. The Bills get the ball in the Houston three. They have 97 yards to go. They're trying to get into field goal range. Houston has three time outs. McDermott passes the ball three consecutive times. They don't get a first down. They don't burn clock. They punt it back to the Texans. The Texans get a game winning field goal.

They win that game 23 to 20. McDermott says after the game, those decisions are on me. Well, no shit. Sorry about that. Of course, they're on you, but I'm okay with that. Like the people criticizing Sean McDermott, you have one of the elite quarterbacks and you trusting your elite quarterback in that spot

Even concussed I am good with that. I'm good with that Billy Yeah, like he made the right play calls and McDermott is getting crushed today I don't know about the even concussed portion of that. Well, I mean you're the one who said it I didn't see that seem that that game seemed destined for overtime by the way Stefan Diggs revenge game. Yeah, call it a revenge game Can you can you say that he's the winner if he only had 82 receiving awards? I thought about this yesterday

because I think we said it during the live show too, someone revenge game. There needs to be parameters for a revenge game. No. Yes, because if a guy gets traded, I guess if a guy gets traded away, revenge game. If he leaves for more money, not really a revenge game. Well, he also like left kicking and screaming, right?

Like he was asking for his way out. So it wasn't like I would say revenge games. It was there were elements of a revenge game there yesterday. I know. Well, they left on bad terms. They clearly don't like each other. I don't think they spoke a word. They hugged each other.

Yeah. A very tepid hug. I'm guessing it's the last time if they spoke a word to each other, it's the last word either will speak to each other for the remainder of time. Really? Yes. I'm guessing it's the last time if they spoke a word to each other, it's the last word either will speak to to each other for the remainder of time. Really? Yes. I don't know about that. It's frosty.

It's very icy between you can tell. Yeah. You can tell after the game. I would I would have called that more of a Josh revenge game than a Stefan Diggs revenge game because he was trying to prove that he could beat him without him. But I

think Diggs walks away saying he was the leading receiver for the Texans. He didn't haveiggs walks away saying he was the leading receiver for the Texans. He didn't have a great game but he had a good game and they get the win and he's four and one. Yeah. Josh Allen's three and two. I don't. Stefan Diggs is feeling good about

that. I don't know how good the Texans are. They're four and one. I know but I don't I. I think the Bills kind of caught a break that Nico Collins got hurt that game. I don't know how good the Bills are. I don't know how good any of these teams are. That's well there are no good teams no good teams. The Texans almost lost to the Jaguars last week.

Let's do it this way. Bills, good? Don't know? I don't know. Jury's out. Okay, Ravens, good? Ooh, I like that, the Jury's out. The Jury's out.

Ravens, good, Jury's out, bad. They're good now? That should be a Jury's out. What do you mean? They were bad in the beginning of the season, now they're good? I don't know. I said Baltimore's the best team in the NFL last week

in two and two. And they came back, they win. I don't know that you can definitively say there's a best team in the NFL right now. The Chiefs. The Vikings. Vikings are five and oh, Billy. Yeah, but that five and oh is like a very soft five and oh.

But it's a five and oh. Oh, they did not look good yesterday. They did not, but. Against the Jets. No, I don't do not look good. And if I'm going to walk away with anything positive from that jet game, the jets did not play that well and they were in it to the very last second against the team that was undefeated. Sam Darnold has been driving the struggle bus as of late. Huh? The struggle bus. Yeah. He's the driver. I like that. Yeah.

And they're going to play. I like that. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. And and they're going to play against Detroit next week. Billy, it's been a good five and oh, they have beaten the Giants. They have beaten San Francisco. They have beaten Houston. They've

beaten Green Bay and they beat the Jets. It's a great five and oh. Alright. I mean you you buy it if you want. I'm not. How could you not buy that? I'm not buying that. 49ers any good? No. Blew a big game yesterday? Kyle Shanahan, blah, blah, blah.

Brock Purdy, blah, blah, blah. I have another. Billy, you cannot question the five and oh that the Vikings have put up here. The Giants are a decent team. I can question it. They beat the Niners, the Texans, and the Packers. Okay, I mean, I'm questioning it.

Okay. I mean, the Niners. You know what? I apologize. You're right. I'd like to retract something. You can question it. Yeah, also the Vikings have a bye coming up and then they play the Lions, so they're gonna have time to uh. Lions at home now. The rare regrouping of an undefeated team on the trip back from England. They need the time off. They could use it, you know, a little kumbaya. Get things right. Maybe go on a team retreat together somewhere, figure some stuff out.

Even though again, no one beat them, but they can do some figuring out at the moment. After that, they play the Rams, the Colts, the Jaguars, and the Titans. I mean, and your Bears. The Vikings are gonna be really good. The Vikings are good. They're going to the playoffs, Billy.

They might be a one or a two seed. Yeah, but do you trust them in the playoffs? No. Okay, so then, I mean. That's a different game, though. So, I don't understand. What are we playing for? The best regular season record?

What difference does that make? It's a totally different game. Are they a good team? Is it a good five and oh? The answers to those questions are yes. Do I trust them in the playoffs? totally different game. Are they a good team? Is it a good five and oh the answers to those questions are yes. Do I trust them in the playoffs? Totally different game.

The answer is no. How about the Jets? Huh? Drawing the short straw here. So the Vikings come back and they have a bye week after their trip to London. The Jets are right back at it against the Bills. They get it on Monday.

So yeah, but an extra day. Yeah, right. The Bills off a loss. We'll see what happens. Josh Allen. Maybe he doesn't play. I mean but it's Monday. So, yeah, but an extra day. Yeah. Right. The Bell's off a loss. We'll see what happens. Josh Allen, maybe he doesn't play. I mean, he's playing. I, yeah, I

would, I would think if they had him finish that game that they're not exactly going to be holding him out after, you know, eight days off. Yeah. We'll see. Yeah. Uh I have my uh top five places that Bill Belichick might be headed to after week. What week is it?

Week five. After week five. Wow. Yeah. I have a game called toss out the records. Oh, it's coming up next. In order to have a night cap, you need to have a night first, make good on some bets and pour some smoothness in your glass with Larseny Weeded Bourbon.

Mm hmm. And uh we may have another one coming up soon. Alright. Details forthcoming. Still rocking the Bears hat, huh? Oh, bear it down Billy. What am I going to do? Not wear this hat? Yeah. Uh we haven't done this in a couple of weeks but the rookie quarterbacks, it's uh it's

heating up. It is. It is. I mean. Yeah. Is it? I are are we ready to call this one? I don't think we're ready to call it. I mean, Caleb Clue is the best quarterback of the bunch, right? Uh I would tell you, so we have

Caleb, we have Jaden Daniels, we have uh Drake May who hasn't played the mystery of Drake May is what's helping Drake May out because we don't know if he's actually any good and we might not know until next season. But I will tell you, Nix is in the mix.

Is he? He had a good game yesterday. Well, hold on a second. I have a question for you, a quick follow up here. So how about JJ McCarthy? So he also obviously has not played. He's gonna miss the entire season. Is he in this conversation as well,

or is there no mystery? Cause we know he's not going to play. And then follow up, is he eligible to be in the mix next year with the quarterbacks that are drafted? Like can he- Drake May has played already. It was garbage time.

He played, but we got to see him play. JJ McCarthy, I think is not going to take a snap this season. Yeah, but is this, is this count like a medical register year for him? think, is not going to take a snap this season. Yeah, but does this count like a medical redshirt year for him? Like, is he eligible to be a, you know? He's a redshirt rookie next year? Redshirt rookie next year, yeah. Fuentes, what do you think?

Redshirt rookie for? Oh, they do it in the NBA, so why not? Oh. What, JJ McCarthy could still win the rookie of the year next year? That's ridiculous. I don't know. Sure.

In our book, our personal record book. By the way, Bryce Young, huh? Yeah. Garbage time. Yeah. No, no. Seven for 58 yards. He had like, he had like two plays, but good for him. What do we think here? Cause the Ray, everyone is raving about Jayden Daniels. The commanders are four and one. Caleb played better yesterday. Caleb played great, but I'm telling you, Billy, did you see Bo Nix's game? Yeah, I mean, I don't think he's

in the top two rookie quarterbacks at the moment. Really? You think he is? I mean, the way he played yesterday, if that's going to continue, he has a shot. Like, it was really good.

Who's he better than between Caleb and Jaden? He's better than me. Okay, then he's not in the top's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player.

He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player.

He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player.

He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. He's a player. he's playing better than we expected and sometimes because expectations mean a lot. There were no expectations for

Bonix. There were serious expectations for Caleb, for Jaden Daniels, and for Drake May. Bonix had next to no expectations. At least as far as I'm concerned. And he's exceeded them. So, he's in the mix. He's exceeded no

expectations. Yeah. He also has the best defense but he also came in with like not really any weapons compared to Hayley Williams, who they gave him the world and his weapons are great. Like Bo Nix had the opposite of that. Three game win streak, first Denver QB to ever have a three game win streak as a rookie. I mean, as also the Raiders. I mean, not to, you know,

But we don't know if anyone's good. You gotta go play football. I know the Raiders are bad. I know, but I'm sitting here telling you, I don't know if anyone's good. You gotta go play football I know the Raiders are bad. I know but I'm sitting here telling you I don't know if the Chiefs are good and so I mean what is he supposed to do? So they play the Chargers next I think they mean the jury maybe out on the Chargers Still the Juries out too right? Yeah the Jerry's out. And then they have to go. If you're two of the Jerry's out Unless you're the Ravens you're the best team in the NFL. Hold on a second. It's crazy. We haven't talked about toss out the record I love football. We haven't said toss toss out the record. I love football. We haven't said toss out the record yet.

That's later. OK, sorry. I don't know, unless you just want to play it right now. I do want to play it now. I do. All right, guys. I want to toss out the record. We'll get to college in a second.

Vanderbilt with a big upset. We know. We realize. The Commodores. Yes. By the way, stop storming the field when you beat mediocre teams. Anyway, let's play what?

You're not talking about Vanderbilt. Yeah, you must be talking about something. No, Vanderbilt, they had legitimate reasons to storm the field. We needed like a semicolon or something there. That was like a very like... I said when you beat mediocre teams, Alabama's not a mediocre team. USC and Michigan, mediocre team. But you understand why there could be the confusion, right?

Because they won big ups that they stormed the field and then you said, by the way, stop storming the field when you beat mediocre teams. When you beat USC, who has one loss and is the storm the field and then you said, by the way, stop storming the field when you beat mediocre team. When you beat USC who has one loss and is the twelfth ranked team in the country, you don't storm the field after beating USC.

You don't do it. I'm sorry. Anyway, let's throw out the records. Alright. So, this is how this game works, right? I'm going to tell you, throw out the records so you forget about the records and then you tell me if You believe that this team is gonna make the playoffs Or good enough to make the playoffs. So we throw out the record. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Basically is this a good team?

Don't worry about the records. Is this a good team? Okay, so like okay here. I'm gonna throw out the record. I like that. I love throwing out records All right. So here's my first example throw out the record. I like that. I love throwing out records. Alright, so here's my first example. Throw out the records. Cincinnati Bengals. Are they good? Are they a playoff team? Yeah, don't look at their record. Don't worry about that. I know the records one in four, but I'm gonna throw it out. Yeah, I think the Bengals make the

playoffs. Do they? I also think the Bengals make the playoffs. Do they? I also think the Bengals, if they lose one more game and they're one and five, potential destination for Bill Belichick. Well, I mean, if they lose one more game, they're 0-1-1, because you threw out the records. Oh, that's right. So they'd be 0-1-1, bad start.

Yeah. This seems like it was a better idea in my head. No, it's a good idea, I like it. It's a good idea. It is a good idea. Rough start, just like the Bengals. Now that we're, now, but, but, but Joe Burrow. Very good.

Turned it around. The offense, the offense, not the problem. Burrow was great in that game yesterday. He had that terrible interception towards the end of the game, which perhaps cost the team the game, but Joe Burrow's great. Okay, how about this one?

Throw out the records and we're not gonna go far. We're gonna stay in the AFC North. Pittsburgh Steelers. Are they a playoff team? Yeah. Do you have, how about this? It's throw out the records slash, do you have faith in them?

I have faith in Mike Tomlin, yes. Oh. It's hard not to have faith in Mike Tomlin. I mean. I mean. Never had a losing record. But I guess then we should add an addendum to that, which is what does even have faith in them mean, right? Like I Guess you could kind of see the way I'm going. I do not believe in this team at all

Well, I believe they can go to the playoffs and lose in the first round. Yeah, so is that good? I mean, it's the playoffs. Well, you're not asking me if they're good. You're asking me if I have faith in them confusing games By the way, he just wants to make the playoffs He just wants to have a winning record just wants to have a winning record which don't think Tomlin cares by the way. He just wants to make the playoffs. He just wants to have a winning record. Just wants to have a winning record. Which don't look now, different game. Don't look now. Right. We said very early on and I think I said so you could blame me. I said three and oh it's going to be hard to blow a three and oh start and finish with a losing record but we're on our way. Yeah. We're on our way. Putting that in jeopardy. Maybe Russell Wilson's on the way.

Sunday Night Football you were talking all week. I guess maybe that game's over, but we could get back to it if you want. There are other teams that you, yeah, we can get back to it. I wanna get back to it. Sunday Night Football, you were saying all week, Cowboys, Steelers, oh, finally, this match.

I love this match, this is great. And I very much was like, ooh, I'm not looking forward to that game at all. And then we got on our flight and the flight was like perfectly aligned. I'm like, okay, well, I don't wanna watch it, but I'm gonna watch it. What else am I gonna watch? And then we got on a plane.

I didn't even know this existed anymore. We got on a plane that still physically had screens in the back of the seats, which I haven't seen on an American Airlines flight in forever. It's basically like, use your own tablet, use your own phone, use your own whatever. Yeah, JetBlue started it.

Yeah, well, no, but like American used to have these like on all their planes and they've gotten rid of them. They just transitioned to like, you turn on their free wifi, and then you stream it on your own device through their wifi. So I went United on the way home from Chicago and there were screens on the back of my seat,

but it's not television screens, it's like a screen in which you can watch. Yeah, it's like a tablet. Yeah, so like American. Like Netflix option, you know? Americans gotten rid of these on most of the flights I've been on anyways. So I was surprised to see them also clutch

the complimentary headphones because I forgot my headphones and I forgot like my Bluetooth ones and then my phone obviously is like an iPhone. So you need like an attachment for regular headphones is a whole thing. And I looked like a crazy person. Like I looked like I was a member of secret service because I was going to buy headphones in the airport

but I didn't cause they were like way too expensive. So like on the way up there, I was just using my IFB. So I was using the earpiece, so I looked like I was a member of the Secret Service, because I had a weird thing over, because I brought it just in case we needed it for the show, and then I had an earpiece in, and I was so self-conscious about it

that I put the hood for my hoodie on over my head so no one would even see it. I did what I had to do. To be fair, if I saw a guy wearing an earpiece with a hoodie on an airplane, I'd be terrified. I know. I would feel better. Oh, you'd feel better?

I would feel like I have someone who knows what to do in these situations, and if one of these situations arises, I would feel better, yeah. I was very, I was very. In fact, I think you should do it on every flight. Yes, bring it. Just for my comfort.

So here's the thing. I was very self-conscious, but this is what I'm working with, and I just have this one thing with the little squiggly thing in my ear. I was very self-conscious, but like this is what I'm working with. And I just have like this one thing with like the little squiggly thing like in my ear. I was very self-conscious about it. Cause I'm like, people are gonna think that like I'm up to something nefarious, right?

And then on the flip side, I was like, or they're gonna think I'm like a US marshal. So like everyone better be on their best behavior for two fronts here. Because if something goes wrong, I'm gonna get blamed. And if something goes wrong and I'm not getting blamed I'm gonna be the person they turn to to solve this problem. That'd be so great they turn to Billy he does nothing. Yeah like what do you want me to do? They start pointing at you like, yee yee yee.

No no we got an agent. Not my fight, not my fight, I'm out of this one. I know I threw you off with the headsets and the FBI jacket. I'm just watching something I football pass. I'm just watching something I football sorry. We the headsets and the FBI jacket. I'm just watching something I footballed last night. I'm just watching something I footballed, sorry. We should get Billy a fake FBI jacket. I'm wearing the hoodie that says FBI, but if you look close it says Female Body Inspector from New York in 2003.

Or without the dot on the eye, just to keep you out of harm's way. Any legalities. Anyhoo, so on the way back, I was like, at first I was like, no, no, I don't need it, because I'm like, I have it, and I'm like, no, I need it. legalities. Anyhoo. So, on the feels right. It seems right. But a weird thing happened to us because I got on the plane also

and I was like, wait a second, are we in a different time zone? Which we were, but we were just one hour back, not three hours back. And like the game was in the second quarter and it was like nine 30 at night. Well, so we got lucky in that it was, our fly was delayed and the game was delayed.

So it kind of matched up almost perfectly. So the game started like when we got in, but because they had those screens, they didn't have like, or at least I couldn't figure out the live TV option. So you had to use like another device to watch the game. Right. And I had it on my phone, but the game started out rough. It was not, it ended up being a good game at the end.

Game started out a little bit rough, and it was like a second a second screen situation for me for most of it. Whereas watching Pirates of the Caribbean on the first. I've never seen it. Really? First time watching? Yeah, first time I saw Pirates. Jack Sparrow. Yeah. Yeah. Good little movie.

It's a very good movie. Should do a second one. Buccaneers. There's more. Trust me. What? Yeah. Yeah. So I had it. I had it on like as my second screen situation. OK. Yeah. There's a little bit overblown. Well, it was the rare stare down where one guy was staring. Well, it was like, you know, he'd said like jump ball, whatever, so it wasn't like as serious, I don't think. By the way, throughout the record style, those Cowboys.

It's pretty much just Dak and CD and Jake Ferguson, that's it. It's enough to make the playoffs. The Cowboys are gonna make the playoffs. The Commanders are gonna win the division, that's great. Well, we don't know that yet. Yeah, they're gonna win. And the Giants are back in the mix. Cowboys are gonna make the playoffs. The Commanders are gonna win the division, that's great. Well, we don't know that yet. Yeah, they're gonna win. The Giants are back in the mix.

Cowboys are in that purgatory, right? Where they're just always gonna be the Cowboys. They're just always gonna be this. I mean, they're three and two in a division. No, you threw out the records, they're zero and zero. You're right, well, so zero and zero, that changes everything. Now they're one and oh no.

Well, that means Washington is also zero and zero. No, we tossed out yesterday's win. Oh, that's gone. So when I toss out Dallas' record, the team than Washington. This sounds like if the season started today. The Washington commander's offense right now seems to be historic. It's really good. Which is a crazy sentence to say out loud. Yes. They're so good right now. I'm checking out.

They're so efficient. I mean, he's so efficient. Jaden Daniels. I'm checking out the team offensive. I think Washington has the best offense in the NFL. Okay, how about this? Toss out the records, okay? And this is a test for you.

Minnesota Vikings. That team's really good, man. Defense is really good. The defense is really good. the the Vikings. What are the records of? The Vikings but you think they're really good. Toss out the records. The San Francisco 49ers. I don't think the Niners. I think they'll make the playoffs. They will not make a deep run into the playoffs. To hurt. McCaffrey hurt. They're hurt. I don't. I'm not a big believer in Brock

Purdy. I'm just not. Interesting. I think Christian McCaffrey covers a lot of offensive holes and he not being there is a much bigger impact than we think. That is just, I said it yesterday and I don't know how many people were watching, probably not many. I do believe that Kyle Shanahan should be charged with fraud.

He defrauded a country. He knew Christian McCaffrey was hurt. He knew that it was a severe injury and he allowed everyone, myself included, so if there's a class action lawsuit, I will be a part of it. He allowed everyone to go on, and this is strictly fantasy. I will be completely honest with you.

Oh, I'll charge him with fraud as a coach. This is a strictly fantasy-based charging. But he defrauded an entire nation, and internationally, an inter-nation. he defrauded an entire inter-nation by allowing people to draft Christian McCaffrey in the first round with the first draft, with the first pick, which is what I did, and he is not gonna play this season.

Like it seems pretty evident he's not gonna play or he's gonna come back very late in the season. The rare injury that he has in one leg that somehow also jumps to the other leg, which I don't even understand how that works. As a child, I sang the song where the knee bones connected the hip bone and the, you know, thigh bone and this bone and that bone and the knees were never connected. So I don't understand how one injury jumps from one leg to the other. I don't get it.

I don't get it. I don't think that there's any way that that makes any sense. But we're going to Germany to figure it out because they know how the injuries jump from one side to the other. And uh, they know how to stop the injuries. Is he back? Did he go to Germany to figure it out because they know how the injuries jump from one side to the other. And- They know how to stop the injuries from jumping. Is he back? Did he go to Germany? Can we get like a, is there like a German hippo? Like what's going on here? Can they give us some information

on what's going on with this trip to Germany? You want me to Google, is Christian McCaffrey still in Germany? Yeah, like someone figured he was going to Germany. He's coming back. Like, is he back from Germany? Like what's going on here? Someone tell me.

He had like a day trip to Germany because he was back that same week. A day trip to Germany sounds terrible. Well, when you're on the PGA. Like I'm sure Germany is very delightful. A day trip to Germany sounds horrific. Why would you fly to, I don't think you can even do a day trip to Germany.

Yes you can, in a private jet you can. Yeah, in a private jet you can do it. No, but time-wise, like it takes you, how many hours are you taking? Why are you getting so out ready? I'm just trying to explain it to you. Because he's going from California to Germany. I know.

He's probably flying what? Like nine, 10 hours, right? At least. I'll check. And then, I'm assuming that he doesn't have to wait because I was going to say, then you get to the doctor's office and you have to wait. There's no line for him, Billy, and it's not a doctor's office. I don't know.

Like I get that in America, right? But like in Germany, Christian McCaffrey, I don't think has the same pull that he has in America. In Germany, like you go and you sit in the doctor's office and they're like, who's this guy? I have a feeling NFL franchise, any NFL franchise can do anything they want. Like if they have enough money,

but I would put the doctor on the plane. So nonstop. I'm kind of with you, why can't they fly the German doctor over here? Fly the German doctor over here, have the German doctor examine him, and then you fly over there to do whatever crazy procedure's going on. You have to be in their country.

No, no. Not to see the doctor. Yeah, no, no, you just. To get the actual procedure done. Yeah, the consultation's here. Oh, just the consultation should be here. Right, the doctor should come to him. It's 11 hours, by the way, direct.

So maybe Billy's right. I'm just, 11 hours plus 11 hours, 22. You can't make a day trip, right. It's hard, it takes more than a day. I'm telling you right now, the German doctor's coming to me because I'm an NFL franchise. Do you go twice if you're him?

Like, do you, I feel like you just go and you receive the treatment, right? I think someone says, hey, this is who you go to. This is why you're going. It takes a couple of hours, then you're back. Do you go like German doctor hopping also, right? Where you're like, I'm going to take a second consultation with another German doctor. I think there's a specific doctor who takes care of all this. There's one German doctor.

It's like Dr. James Andrews, but in Germany. You know? By the way, when you have injuries jumping from one body part to another, you hop on a bird and do what you have to do. I mean, it's a dangerous game. The private bird. Yeah, I mean, he shouldn't be hopping at all.

His freaking injuries are hopping. I don't know what he's doing. Right. Anyways, we mentioned this. So we're charging Shanahan, just so we're clear and we can put a bow on this, we are charging Shanahan with two counts of fraud. Yeah, I think two counts is fine, one per knee.

Yeah, one per coach, right. But I don't, look, I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure how it happens, but if he defrauded millions of people, then it could be millions of counts of fraud, right? Like it's per person that he defrauded. Also, Niner fans can join us in this crusade. Yeah, no, everyone can in all the Internations that he defrauded. Also Niner fans can join us in this crusade. Yeah, no, everyone can in all the internations because he defrauded people internationally. Fantasy specific, I mean in reality he defrauded people,

but fantasy specific also, speaking of fantasy because someone mentioned fantasy here, I don't know who it was that mentioned fantasy. Our fantasy contest is presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. A nice little bounce back week for Billy Gill. Yeah, you placed? I placed 130 something, but you know,

it's a climb back, it's a climb back. We started at five and then we went down into the 200s and then we really fell into the 600s and then we made it back into the 300s and this past week into the 130s, which was very exciting. I myself didn't place, you know who did place? Mike Yeh placed.

He did. He placed 18th and he won $75. So nice little weekend for Mike Yeh. He had his football weekend, that's why he wasn't able to join us this past weekend in Chicago, that's why he wasn't able to join us here today. He had his football weekend

where he went to Thursday Night Football and then he went to a Georgia game. Now he's slowly making his way back to Connecticut. I don't know why it takes him so long to get back. I mean, these games were on Thursday and Saturday, he's still not home. Right. Regardless.

You're questioning Mike E.A.'s? No, I'm not questioning anything. I'm just saying, you know, maybe he went on foot or I don't know what he took the railroad. I don't know how he got there. Right. It's taking him three days to return home. But he's on his way back home.

Yeah. And, you know, the little cherry on top, he placed in our fantasy contest, DraftKings fantasy contest, dkng.co slash spiernoff, if you want to participate against us, and he won $75. I finished 58th. Wow, just outside the money. Well, listen, I had Brian Thomas, I had Jamar Chase, and I had Kraft, and I still didn't win the thing.

I had the Packers tight end who had a monster game. You want to know why I lost? I took the Dolphins quarterback. Well that was ridiculous. Well I was trying to be cute, because I was trying to be cute. Because no one else was going to take him, and I took him hoping he would have a big game,

and he didn't. I took Flacco, and Flacco carried me, and why I didn't end up in the money was because I dropped all of the Colts receivers that scored points in exchange for Josh Downs who Tony convinced me was the missing piece that I needed. So that's how you win these games. You win honestly, you win on the cheap players.

You have to guess the right cheap player that week. That is correct. Yeah. Winners or losers, next. Don't miss the new Hulu original drama La Machina starring Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal and Eiza González. La Machina is the first Spanish language original series from Hulu. In their long-awaited on-screen reunion, Gael and Diego play lifelong friends. One a boxer and the other is crafty manager, making one last attempt at glory in the ring. But to make it to Fight Night, they must confront a mysterious underworld organization, raising the stakes to life or death. La Machina premieres October 9th, streaming on Hulu. And we're back.

We are, yeah. And we're back. We are. Yeah. You want to play a game of winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka? I would love to. Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. All right, so this is how this game works for those of you who are new to the program here. It's called winners and losers presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly. And I will give you winners and losers from this past weekend. And then in it, Stugatz, Mike Fuentes,

they also can give you winners and losers from this past weekend. But these winners or losers are not supposed to be debated. They're your winners, your losers. Like we're not supposed to question them, right? You can question them if you'd like to. It's not necessary. Not to be debated, to be discussed.

Okay. I like that. I like that. You're good today. You're sharp. I like you on three hours sleep. Thanks. Yeah. I'm gonna start out with, normally I start out with winners.

I'm gonna start out with losers this week. Okay. This week's losers, top 10 teams in college football. Losers. Aers this past week. A lot of them lost. Yeah. I mean, I guess technically, you know, by the numbers more of them actually won than lost,

but rare is the weekend when the number one loses, the number four loses, the number nine loses, the number 10 loses, and just outside of the top 10, the number 11 team loses. Also, the number eight team should have lost, but that is a story for another day. Right now, Miami is playing with extra men on the field every single game. They have the entire weight of the ACC

officiating review. They're wearing black and white jerseys. It's just, it's okay. You're not wrong. Thank you. You're not wrong. Yep. They should have lost two straight. I mean, yeah. Yeah. I mean, season arguably they could be out of the top 25, but instead, not the way that it works because ACC is maybe just maybe coddling maybe just a little bit another number six team in the country. Yeah. In what some say is an off year for the ACC because Clemson seemingly fell off, but they've recovered. Clemson is back in the playoff hunt. Back in the top 10. right now they're in. Yeah, they're right 10th, yes.

And climbing fast. Yes. They're gonna be a problem for Miami at the end of the year. Miami just, and I don't wanna sound biased here, I don't wanna sound like a University of Miami hater, if you will, but they've played no one. And they should have lost the last two games. For no one.

And they got some extra help from the officials and now they play Louisville who also has fallen off and Florida State is just a joke of a program. I don't know why it even exists anymore. That that's just a disaster. Duke might be a threat Georgia Tech beat them last year because whatever and that game's at Georgia Tech and then they have a game at Syracuse and I'm telling you Syracuse is five and one. They should be six and oh they're really good. Yeah like they have like only because that game's being game at Syracuse. And I'm telling you, Syracuse is five and one. They should be six and oh, they're really good. Like they have like only because that game's being played

at Syracuse, combined with the Cain struggling against Virginia Tech and Cal, Syracuse could upset Miami. We're saying, by the way, like struggling when they have in reality had two great comebacks and Cam Ward has looked really good in leading the Miami Hurricanes back to win the last two games. So much so that I think both of those games, and Cam Ward has looked really good in leading the Miami Hurricanes back to win the last two games.

So much so that I think both of those games, people tuned out and didn't even see that Miami came back and then the next day woke up or whatever like, oh, how did this happen? Well, I was one of them. Canes were down 25 to Cal. Yeah, well. That game started at 10.30 at night.

Listen, to their credit, they came back and they won. Now, they benefited from a clear targeting call that was not called that would have kept the drive alive for Cal and would have allowed them to run out the clock. And because it wasn't called, then Miami gets the ball back, they end up taking the lead and they end up winning the game. And this is something I don't understand.

And look, I got the Virginia Tech call. I got how you could argue that that was not a catch. I got that you could. I don't get the call. Actually, I did not get the call at the time. And I'll say it again, they ruled it a catch. You can't reverse the call once you ruled it a catch. More so I will say I understood the gripe of Miami fans

where I didn't understand why that was ever called a catch to begin with. So I understood why that one is like, okay, like yeah, there wasn't clear evidence, but also why did they ever call that a catch? The ball popped out immediately and if you weren't watching that in super slow motion, the ball was not even possessed for like a second.

In slow motion, it's like, oh look, he possessed it and then it came out and it's like, yeah, but you're doing like a frame per minute at this speed. Like this video is barely moving, that's why it looks like he's held it. But the referees made a mistake by calling it a touchdown on the field. What you do once you've made that mistake

is you don't compound it with another mistake. Yeah, I don't know about that. I mean, that one probably ended up working out the way that it should have, even though video review. Now, this one, I don't understand the gripe at all. I don't understand how you can argue that wasn't targeting. Like, it was a very clear leading with your head into someone else's head.

Like, I don't understand how that was reviewed. I'm like, nah. Listen, the shoulder caught him first, okay? It looked bad on camera, which I understand. But I'm also- It was great in person, you weren't there. What are you talking about? I'm also saying I'm tired of the quarterbacks getting to play a different game. I really am tired of that. You like this guy's running. He's a runner. He's doesn't try to slide, doesn't do anything. He took a big hit. You

know, it's not, it's not the targeting is targeting, man. I didn't think it was targeting. I like the shoulder hits first. It looks worse than it was. No, but I also said that it was a stupid play from Besaint because you know how they officiate quarterbacks and if you're gonna go launching at a guy like that, you're gonna open yourself up for targeting. Just wrap the guy up and take him down. He's not gonna run away from you. I mean, you open yourself up for targeting. I'm not saying that's necessarily a strategy, but he put a big shot on the guy. It's kind of like

when you toss a ball out there and then you hope for the, if he catches it, great, but if not, we got a little DPI and we get the yards anyways. Right. Anyways, that was not, I don't know why we're talking about this game so much. We're getting bogged down on it.

Yeah, I mean, Miami Cow, who cares, whatever. Not a big deal. Bama, surprising. Bama comes off of one of the greatest college football games in recent memory to then lay an egg. So lose the egg sound that we made. It wasn't the fart. It was like a boop.

Yeah, that was it. So Bam is a loser. Yeah, the top 10. You're doing winners or losers. No, I know. We're doing winners and losers presented by Spirna. World's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.

Very broad loser. Well, they fell to number seven in the country. They can still make the playoff. Yeah, that's one of those that they, you know, they fall enough to climb right back into it. I could tell you the playoff. Yeah, that's one of those that they, you know, they fall enough to climb right back into it. I can tell you a big winner. Yeah. Since you brought up Alabama. Number seven, by the way, they've fallen enough and Georgia is still ahead of them, where if we get Georgia-Bama again in like the SEC Championship game, they could still both make the playoff. Georgia has a matchup with Texas coming up in,

not this weekend, but the following weekend. That's gonna be interesting. I have a question for you guys. I had a winner. So let's say, no, I know, I know, but I don't wanna get away from Georgia and Alabama too quickly. Well, my winner was Nick Saban, but anyway, go ahead.

Okay, so my question is this. Let's say Georgia goes on a run and they win all of the remaining games of this season as does Alabama and other teams lose, but they keep climbing and we get a situation where it's like Georgia at like two or three and Alabama at like four, right? Because other teams have lost or whatever. And then you have Georgia play Alabama in the SEC Championship game and Alabama wins again. Could you put Georgia

in the playoff with two losses to the same team? Wow. So if that played out, Billy, they will have beaten Clemson lost to Alabama twice, but they have also if it plays out, it means they have beaten Texas, who is the number one team in the country. Yeah. They have beaten Ole Miss. They have beaten Tennessee. So they beat Tennessee. They beat Mississippi. They beat Texas. They beat Clemson. They lose to Alabama twice. Can you lose to the same team twice, not win your conference championship, and still make the playoffs?

I would say if there's a team that can do it, it's Georgia. Yeah. Just because the committee's gonna want Georgia in. It's also like an SEC thing like SEC so good. You have a lot of big SEC wins even though you lost Alabama twice. But you're gonna have but you're then setting up for a potential third game. That's okay. That one team has lost twice already.

The first game was pretty good. Yeah. Man, these these two games got huge ratings. We can get a was pretty good. Yeah, but it's like, man, these these two games got huge ratings. We can get a third. Yeah. Yeah, but it's not a rubber match. You know what I mean? I like a good rubber match. That's right. That's a good point. It's not

it's a revenge game. Is it? Yeah, but you're owing two. You already lost. So what happens if Georgia beats Alabama in the playoffs doesn't Alabama say, hey, but we beat it. We played him three times. We beat him twice. That's what I'm saying.

This is crazy. And we're the and we're the conference champions. I think if Alabama wins the national championship, they should have to play one more game against Vanderbilt. What? Transit to Fraudford. He's right. He's right. You gotta beat. It's a good idea.

Also, if you beat. Also, if you're unranked and you beat Alabama or Georgia, automatic bid. Also, if you. An idea. Also, if you're unranked and you beat Alabama or Georgia, automatic bid. You're proud of yourself. You love these. You don't like that? So Nick Saban was a big winner for you. Well, yeah, he would never lose that game.

Yeah. He would never, he would never succumb to a letdown spot. That's what Kailin DeBoer did. They beat Georgia last week, let down against Vandy at Vandy. Do you know the score of the games the last three times Alabama has played Vanderbilt? Well, they hadn't beaten them in like 70 years or something. The last time they beat them was in 1984.

It's funny how- Billy wasn't born yet. Yeah, not exactly 70 years. You know what's funny is how we are a week removed from everyone talking about how Caleb DeBoer was the perfect hire and how it was like wow This guy just came in Seamless transition. He just got right back in there the perfect hire the perfect move Loose to Vanderbilt. Yeah, crazy. That's football. Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to look up these scores here because it's amazing

Missouri's done we can agree on that Yeah they're done Missouri is is out of it and And with Missouri being out of it and because Texas A&M won by such a large margin, are they sneaking their way right back into the mix? Yeah. They moved up 10 spots with that win. Last three times that Alabama played Vanderbilt, the combined score was 148 to three. So I have some teams that I can definitively tell you are out of it. Number one, Michigan.

Done. Way out. Wow. USC, done. They're not even in the top 25 anymore. They're done. Michigan's done. Michigan's sitting at 24, they dropped 14 spots. Yeah, USC's out of it. USC, no longer in the top 25. Missouri's out of it.

Missouri has dropped 12 spots. Yeah, but they're out of it. They're out of it. Only one loss and they're out? They're not gonna, yeah. Missouri's not gonna come back in. dropped 12 spots. Yeah, but they're out of it. They're out of it. Only one loss and they're out? They're not going to, yeah. They're out. Missouri's not going to come back in.

That's just like, oh, okay. You have to, Mike, you have to do it, like think about the committee. It's Missouri. No one cares if Missouri makes it. Yeah. And they have a loss and it was a bad loss to Texas A&M. Because Missouri, Missouri's not even going to be like the, oh, look at the scrappy underdog that we can root for because now they need to include someone else.

No French team. Exactly, they're not gonna be that team. Plus you have a non-Power Five who makes the playoffs. That's what I'm saying, that's the scrappy underdog. That's the scrappy underdog that's gonna get in. It's not gonna be Missouri. If Missouri was undefeated, I mean, different story, obviously.

What does this Clemson in? They're gonna beat Miami in the AC Championship, yeah. All right. Yeah. Don't look now, Indiana, 6-0. They are 6-0. Iowa State's good too. I tried to tell you guys to keep an eye on Indiana. the the game. I'm not looking at the AP poll right now. I'll I'll do the coaches ball. Doesn't matter. You have Iowa State making the playoffs and they

would play. So, I think the one seed gets a buy like you're like an Iowa State versus Ohio State. They're going to get killed. Yeah. I'm not going to believe in the twelve team playoff until one of these twelve seeds or eleventh ranked team or they make it to a championship game. the top of the table. The top of the table.

Deshaun watson, uh loses to jaden daniels 15 to 20 at 125 yards 8.5 qbr rating and a fumble. He's the worst quarterback in the nfl. He uh It's it's a rough situation if you're a Browns fan because they're stuck with him. Stefanski wanted to go for it late in the game on fourth down and De'Shaun Watson just walked off the field. Yeah, that's not a good situation.

Stefanski has been the two-time NFL Coach of the Year. Two-time Coach of the Year. He wanted to go for it on fourth and inches and his quarterback walked off the field. Yep. That was it. That was Winners and Losers presented by Smearnaf, the world's number one vodka.

What a great weekend it was and it continues tonight with the Chiefs and the Saints. And of course that means BB BB BB BB BB BB brought to you by nobody. tonight with the Chiefs and the Saints and of course that means BB BB BB BB BB BB brought to you

by nobody. Yeah. Yeah. Billy's Big Board Betts brought to you by and we're still waiting on our sponsor but we'll get one eventually. Uh these are picks that uh if I was in the Draft King State I would be so inclined to make and uh I have

three of them this week. Last week because of a double header I went four and two bringing my record to eleven and seven on the season. I thought you were asking me. No, I'm telling you. Like, I'm keeping track. It came in the form of a question. I had to be honest.

Eleven and seven on the season. Not too shabby. No, not bad. So, it's starting to look pretty good. By the way, five and oh, still you gots. We did that on Friday's episode of God Bless Football, and I took the Chiefs tonight. Okay. Yes.

Alright, so, my first pick of the week, Travis Kelsey over five and a half receptions. Like it, like it. His high on the season is seven last week. He hasn't come close to going over five and a half in any other game, but as pointed out with Rashid Riceout, I feel like Patrick Mahomes is gonna go to all reliable and he's going to be feeding Travis Kelsey this game.

I'm taking it. So over five and a half receptions. My second pick on the week is Patrick Mahomes, I wrote under but I mean over 18 and a half rushing yards. Let's be clear to the audience, Billy is taking Mahomes over 18 and a half yards rushing in tonight's game. Yeah, also over 18 and a half passing if you could find that anywhere,

but over 18 and a half rushing yards tonight's game. Yeah, also over 18 and a half passing, if you could find that anywhere, but over 18 and a half rushing yards on the game. Now here's something that we would have to lay a hundred thousand dollars to win a dollar. Mine is 50,000. I'm just saying if you're able to find it somewhere, I would take over 18 and a half passing as well. If you can find it, right. This is something- I like that.

I like that as a new segment. If you could find this bed anywhere, take it, right. I like that, I like that as a new segment. If you can find this bet anywhere, take it. Yeah, so last week, Patrick Mahomes had the over in rushing yards and ended up getting the under because of victory formation. He lost like 15 yards on like the last three plays. Oh, I hate that. So that's not ideal, but I'm gonna have him,

I'm gonna have faith in him, I'm gonna say over 18 and a half yards. And here's my final one, and this is what I'm going to have him. I'm I'm going to have faith in him. I'm going to say over eighteen and a half yards and here's my final one and this is what I like to call hedging. I'm going to take the Saints plus five and a half. We've been saying that

something seems to be off in Kansas City. I don't think that they're going to lose the game but I feel like maybe they have a close one while they figure out what to do. That's all they do is win close football games. Mm hmm. It is. Yeah. I think they've

won their first four games by a combined twenty-two points or something. I like your bets this week. Thank you. I do. I appreciate that. Especially the Mahomes over eighteen and a half yards passing. Victory formation is what has me most

concerned. Oh yeah. No, that one's a lock. Over eighteen and a half passing. If you can find it. If you can find it. A disclaimer. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Good luck finding it. Yeah. And if you find it, let me and Billy know about it. If you find it, bet the House of Representatives. God bless football, everyone.
