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. I'm always saying around here, Stugatz, that I'm a bit baffled by the amount of coverage that the Cowboys get as something that hasn't been excellent for a long time. But I shouldn't be baffled because this isn't merit-based.

The numbers that the Amazon game did on Cowboys Giants, a bad football game 20 to 15, but a game that the Cowboys needed. It's the most streamed football game, regular season football game ever. 16 million people watch that football game and I do believe that very soon what's going to end up being collectively bargained as all the streaming services make their way into sports is there's gonna be football on every night. Every single night at some point in the future they're going to figure out how to put football somewhere every single night in a way

that gives us more and more football. You're talking about the pros because this this future is already here with college football. There is college football. No, no, I'm talking about professional, but professional football is not going to let college football have that. They're going to take it from college football. They're not going to let them have a night. There are some protections though. They can try to recreate Maction, but they never will. You'll never capture that magic.

Remember the COVID year where they'd be like, surprise, Wednesday, Monday Night Football game. Some of that stuff was kind of dope. Just like, we'll make it work so you can actually have your body rest up in a reasonable sense to have a Wednesday night game. But Dan saying this is going to be at some point a regular thing.

I don't doubt. Tuesday Night Football, in the NFL, Tuesday Night Football, Wednesday night football, we have Thursday already, Friday night football. There are some antitrust things that protect them off of, the only reason they were able to do that one Friday was where it landed in the calendar when they went to Brazil.

Like there are protections for high school and college football for now. Yeah. I mean, those things. The Jets played three games in 11 days. That's a thing that actually happened. Well that should be outlawed by this country if we start talking about laws and whatnot.

That should not be allowed. Tell me what happens with the Mahomes sequence please. I did not see it and don't know what you're talking about. So Travis Kelce, much has been made of a slow start. He was just a couple catches away from setting the franchise record, all time receiving leader in terms of receptions. So very clearly, Patrick Mahomes wants to get Travis Kelsey involved early while he's targeting

him downfield sales a ball, really bad pick, just terrible interception. Chargers start running it back. So there was a return involved. We got to make this tackle. Stop this guy. Patrick Mahomes comes crashing in trying to help tackle the defender that was returning his interception. Which Dan has said by the way, a quarterback should not go after anyone who intercepts their pass. Patrick Mahomes did exactly that. Just curl up in the fetal position, let everyone thunders.

Let all the buffalo run by you, thunder by you, get on, run away from the play. I'd be perfectly fine with Patrick Mahomes out sprinting the defender to the end zone. So last year we were wondering what's going on with this Ryde receiver core. They got Kaderrius Tony out there mucking everything up. The one bright spot was Rashid Rice. He finally stepped up and they go on to win a Super Bowl.

They've already lost Hollywood Brown, it seems like for the year, before he even took a snap as a Kansas City Chief. We're all wondering if Travis Kelce is done. But Rashid Rice, we know that, that's good. Well, Patrick Mahomes, in his chased down attempt, collides with Rashid Rice. MRIs are pending, but it looks as though Rice tore his ACL.

So he lost, he threw a terrible interception, and he took out his leading receiver, the only guy that was actually ascending on that team. That is as bad a sequence as a starting quarterback can have in the league. He was the leading receiver in the NFL through three weeks. Like it could have been worse though, Mahomes could have gotten hurt.

I guess. Yeah. I guess Mahomes could have gotten hurt too in this collision that took out his number one wide receiver. I guess Mahomes could have gotten hurt too in this collision that took out his number one wide receiver. I know you're thinking, how could things have gotten worse in the NFL yesterday? And I'll tell you how. You draft Mike Gasecki in our Smirnoff

weekly fantasy contest. Weekly fantasy contest presented by Smirnoff? You say yes, Dan, join GBF's weekly fantasy contest for a chance to compete against the cast. Plus, win cash prizes. Go to dkng.co slash Smirnoff. Presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka, please drink responsibly.

I had Mike Gasecki, as I mentioned to you, because that's how you do in these weekly contests, right? You start picking and choosing, you save money on the tight end, you save some money on the defense, you try to find like a receiver that's hidden in there in the flex. Tay-Sam Hill is a cheat code, right?

Because you try to take Tay-Sam Hill. He's always like $5,000 and then you get him and then what happens? He has a dud of a game, lays an egg. Actually, if you listen to the God Bless football, which is out now, we were talking about what sound a duck makes when you lay an egg and we decided that the sound is bloop.

So, when a duck lays an egg, it's a bloop and that's what Tay-Sam Hill does every time you get him. Now when you don't get him, he has two touchdowns. That sounds a little delightful though. That laying an egg. Laying an egg's fun, I would assume. It shouldn't have a delightful sound. It should have a sound.

Given what it means, laying an egg should have more of a fart sound than a delightful sound. No, it's a bloop because it's fun, because you're giving life. Yeah, no, laying an egg, I would imagine, is fun if you're duck. Anyways, that's not the point. But laying an egg is not a good thing.

That's the end point. It's a negative thing. I'm saying that for Taysom Hill to lay an egg in a football game, that should not be a fun sound. It should be a fart sound. Well, I suppose. Anyways, you're asking, how'd you finish, Billy?

Great question. I finished 379th, which sounds bad, but I finished 605th last week. So, the week before I finished fifth, thanks for asking. So anyways, if you wanna compete against us, dkng.co slash smirnoff to compete against us in fantasy. Wait, smirnoff? You want more from them?
