Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
Starting point is 00:00:19 help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Look Back at it podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:06 From 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam J. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year.
Starting point is 00:01:23 It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifers Show.

Shady McCoy, Super Bowl, a couple of them, Chiefs and Bucks, 12 years, six-time Pro Bowler. We were just talking about this, about I have my herd hierarchy tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And I know the top four or five teams. You start getting into that 10-12 range, Jets, Patriots, you know, it's tough. Like, I don't know what to do with the Seahawks or the Jets. I do feel like the giants, they are what they are. They do what they do well. So I want to open with Philadelphia. Jalen Hertz and Eagles played the night against Washington. That's right.
Starting point is 00:03:07 You played with Josh Allen as a kid, a rookie. So you played with young guys in your career. Yeah. How surprised are you the leap Jalen Hertz has made from last year to now? Well, I think it all starts with the coaching. I think it starts with the coaching. I thought Nick has done a great job with him and also Howie Roseman, the GM, putting teammates and players.
Starting point is 00:03:28 around them to build that like chemistry and that culture. And it's like when I see Jalen Hertz, he looks like a different player. He looks more confident. The guys believe in him more. He's always had that leadership and even like his running ability. Like he can run, but he's not running a lot like he did last year. He's throwing a ball. I think a lot has to do with like the players. You bring AJ Brown in here and it's like coming from Tanna Hill where everything's not perfect, a big body receiver, catches the ball, break tackles. And it makes a lot easier for the for the player and I love that because most teams and GMs they'll draft the player and just put him in the scheme instead of making the scheme fit him so now we draft this player right they didn't ask to be
Starting point is 00:04:07 here we picked him let's put players around him to make him better to fit his skill set like one thing like Andy Reid I remember when I got to the chiefs and we were just talking about like like um you know coming from Josh Allen he's young guy he's asking about him I'm asking about Pat because Pat arrived to be a superstar he said one thing he did was he went back to his old tapes in Texas tech and seen all the stuff he did well. So he added that, the mixture of that with the stuff he did with the West Coast offense and put it together. I love that because you're going to get things that he did well and implement it until your office draft now. So I love that.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Yeah. I mean, you know, the thing about Jalen, it reminds me a little of Baltimore, where Baltimore took this quarterback that a lot of people doubted, and they said, you know, we're going to, we think it's going to catch, it's going to be hard to prepare for. I think Lamar's hard to prepare for. You don't have a player in your. your roster that can duplicate practice. I think Jalen's hard to prep for. Now, here's the question. A lot of people felt with Lamar, the second time you played them, helped.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Okay, yeah. And I've heard this for people in the NFL. Jimmy Johnson says, what they do is new. It catches you off guard. Yeah. You play them a second time. So do you believe in the second half of the NFL season, people will kind of catch up to what Philly is doing?
Starting point is 00:05:22 That's a great question, right? I just think that it's hard to do, right? because like when people start catching on to what you do best, I don't care who the team is, who the coaches, defense or offense, whatever you do best, when you got to have it as a defense, they're going to do that. Offense, you're going to do that. So I think it's a matter of just, you know, evolving.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Like, I think we'll see different things. I think we'll start seeing more taking shots deep with Jaylor Hurts. So I think it's just adjusting as they adjust. Yeah. I do want to talk about you played with Josh Allen the rookie. I did. Okay. So I remember Greg Cod's,
Starting point is 00:05:56 Co-sell said, Colin, you need to watch this kid in Wyoming. So I watched them against Oregon and Iowa. He was awful. He had a huge arm. And he was playing with Iowa. He was playing with Wyoming. Wyoming. So it was like, you can see how big and strong he was. He was skinny, big, strong kid. But you can see it. Like he had a hose, man. He was just flying things. But I'm like, he is loose. And then it takes Daibu about a year to kind of iron out his wildness. Okay. So then he does. Now Daibu leaves. and I feel like in second halves, he's gotten wild again. Yeah. Is it possible he just misses his coach, the guy that really changed him? Well, you're on to something because when I got there, I remember seeing his kid his first practice. I'm like, whoa. First of all, you see him, he's a big dude, right? He jumps off the screen.
Starting point is 00:06:45 But the thing was more just his accuracy. Sometimes he's very accurate. And then the accuracy was 25 yards down field. You're like, wow. But then there's some plays you talk about where I'm like, whoa, where is this guy throwing a ball? Right. You're right? So his talent was always there.
Starting point is 00:06:59 And then Dayball did a great job. Him and Ken Dorsey, Ken Dorsey was a quarterback coach at the time. Yeah. Well, now he's the coordinator. But the way that they emphasize, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:07 the accuracy, practice over and over again. Repetition. Repetition, for sure. You know, so he looked at good and he got better and better. I don't know if he will say he missed dayball.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I think he's at a level where he's a pro. Like, just sometimes I think, um, as players, especially we're at that type of level and I've been there. It's like, I can do no wrong. right?
Starting point is 00:07:25 You have to go back to the basics. Like, hey, you know what? Maybe I might not try to force things. That's what I feel like. Yeah. It feels like he has to be Superman. I can see that. You know, I do think that last game, I didn't think he played that bad, right?
Starting point is 00:07:38 We talked about, you know, before the show, because like, even like, okay, so the first pick, it was fourth and two. Yeah. I mean, what's he going to do? Like, throw the ball away. So I get that trying to make a play. And then trying to win the game. You're trying to win a game. I would love to see probably a different play or maybe get it back and maybe throw it away.
Starting point is 00:07:55 you know but he's got to take his time a little bit i think sometimes he gets he gets wild a little bit we were talking during the break uh jac was talking with shady and i and we were we were talking about i know that kirk cousins isn't cool but i've said i like my quarterbacks to be a little nerdy i don't want him to me the world's coolest guy right and and i was surprised i said what do you make a kirk cousins and you said you loved him yeah the uncool thing's okay and you can tell like when you watch the videos after the game, right, like the press conferences and what the players say about the player,
Starting point is 00:08:29 about the player, about Kirk, or even on the airplane. When they got the videos, all the chains on, he's iced out, he's showing, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:08:34 that shows that they like him a lot. They care for him and they have a certain bond. And I think it's, it makes it cool because he's not, like, super down cool. That's why I got the jury on him, but I love that about him. Like,
Starting point is 00:08:45 I love a guy that my quarterback that's, he's on time to meetings. He's 10 minutes earlier than everybody else. You know, he sees, when we leave. Even out, he's still watching tape. So I love that at bottom.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I mean, I think that's cool to me in its own way. Yeah. The, you know, it was such a wild day yesterday that one of the things, we talked about this, Salah's first year with the Jets was a mess. Yeah. But he was inheriting an organization that's not historically well run. Yeah, for sure. So Josh McDaniels goes to the Raiders, been pretty bumpy for 20 years.
Starting point is 00:09:20 And a lot of times, like, I watch the Raiders. and I see hope. I'm like, Waller's been hurt, Renfro's been hurt, it's always been a little wonky ownership group. I look at Denver
Starting point is 00:09:31 and I see hopeless. Right. I look at the Raiders and I'm like, Walters never here. Renfro's never hurt. They've had moments. And then Derek,
Starting point is 00:09:39 Derek Carr breaks down at the podium. How do you think that plays to the room? Derek breaking down at the podium? Yeah, see, I will feel that,
Starting point is 00:09:47 right? Because I think the hard work, you know, the time you're put in, day and day out, all the hours, from your family. And then you practice so hard,
Starting point is 00:09:55 you do all these things, and then your results are a loss. Results are a loss. So I feel him, but like he talked about, everybody doesn't go through that. Everybody's not putting them hard hours in. Everybody's not that dedicated. So, I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:08 some people might not even understand his frustration or, you know, how emotionally got and the reason why. Did you get emotional like that at times? Yeah, yeah, especially. I mean, I remember my last year with Buffalo. I was like, like, I think even, yeah, going into that year,
Starting point is 00:10:22 It's like, what are we doing here? Are we trying to win or are we tanking? Like, as I get old, as I'm getting older, I want to win a Super Bowl. I want to win championships. So, I mean, sometimes like, and I think Derek his personality is probably not to go grab a guy and check him. That's right. Or I might, hey, listen, brother, I got to, let's go talk. So I think that's a difference.
Starting point is 00:10:42 But, yeah, I've been like that plenty of times, yeah. So yesterday, Green Bay, finally, we've been saying this for a month, just run the ball 30 times. Right. So go back to your career. You ever been in one of those games? I think, actually, you may have been on Philly. Were you on the Philly team that went to Lambo and ran it down their throat? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yep. I remember that. You guys punched them in the forehead. Yeah. When you're in one of those games and you are just physically imposing your will. I thought Green Bay is like, no, no, we're just going to keep running it. I think it's a little demoralizing. It is.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Go back to your time in the NFL when you know you can get five years. yards. Yeah, it's just, and then like you keep running it and running over and over and over again. So you stop it. I mean, and then the best part is like you break the wheel. When like the defense, listen, they don't run the ball the whole game. That's all we're going to do. And you know it. And we're in the huddle. You're in the huddle. You know the next place coming out this huddle is a run and you can't stop it. That's the best thing in football. And you iced the game out like that. Like we watched that game to the Packers. I mean, like, I've never seen an offense, not in the Packers history, that conservative. I think. Aaron had like 11 passes in three quarters.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah. They just ran the ball the whole time. That's how they have to win. That's okay, by the way. That's how they have to win. Until you play a team, like my birds, where we're not just letting you run the ball up and down the field. You have to throw the ball.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Right. Well, they're not going to beat Philadelphia. That's a whole... Do you miss playing for the Eagles? You know what? I didn't really miss plan once I retired, but I just went to the game. They played Dallas, actually.
Starting point is 00:12:18 And that was the first time since I've been retired. Like, wow, I really want to get out of the game. in play. Just the environment, I think the team, the team's lights out, you know, the well put together. So, yeah. The city just loves. Oh, my God. When you were starring for them, you made six Pro Bowls. What is it like being a star for the Philadelphia Eagles? You know, it's a football town. Like, and the cool thing is, like, you've seen that the Phillies were in the championship, right? So, like, imagine playing then and the Eagles are playing now. And they're both playing really, really well. The city's on fire.
Starting point is 00:12:52 You know, I remember even when they won a championship and I wasn't there, the Eagles, on Broad Street, it was crazy. I remember looking on social media, and I was just imagining, wow, if I was on this team, what would it be like? So this is a great time, and I think, like, when both the teams are playing well and do you add in the Sixers playing well, the whole city's on fire, it's a great time.
Starting point is 00:13:10 So I'm not a big fire the coach guy, but off a buy, off a buy. Denver couldn't get to the Red Zone, rush for sick. Yeah, that was ridiculous. So have you ever been in a locker room where everybody in the room knew are coaching it? It's time up. The time is up. His time is up.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I watched on, even before the by week, like different games were the clock management. Like every coach I've been around, especially the good ones, they have somebody that manages the clocks, okay? Even like, so let's say, I don't know, two minutes left in a quarter, going to the two minute, two minute drill,
Starting point is 00:13:46 going to the half. You have a clock guy, to manage that. Letting the coach know, hey, Andy, you know, if we get our kicker is the best at, you know, 40 yards, 50 yards. This is managing everything, the clock and the field position, et cetera. And when I watch his games, they don't have that. He's always not using a time out or one time he had the kicker and position a kick of a field goal, they don't do it. Then he elects to go for it. It's like, he's all over the place. It's time. And then the by week, you have all this time to prepare. And Tennessee had five defensive stars, half of the Tennessee Titans defense didn't play.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I think they also had a defensive player injured during the game. So 50% of their defense is not playing. Yeah, that's ridiculous. His time. And good to guys know it in the locker room? Yeah, I mean, I've been there when we had Chip Kelly. And you knew. Yeah, after later in our first year, going to my second year there, it was time.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I mean, you got like, the guy like Jason Peters is probably the best player on the team. And we had, we're going fast tempo. And there was times where guys, hey, coach, we need a break. Sure. Older players. Older players. Everybody has like a committee, an older group, like the captain committee. Coach, we need a break.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Guys are beat up, retired, et cetera. And he wouldn't listen. And we would sit in that locker room and look at each other like, listen, his time is, his days is numbered. So I understand. I'm sure Denver's going through that. Yeah. All of our days are numbered. I wouldn't want shady looking around at Cowherd.
Starting point is 00:15:11 His days are numbered. I want to do it. I want to do it. But I get it. Let's start working too hard now. Hold up. We need a break. No, I get it, though.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I get it. There's an old saying, Billy Martin was a baseball manager years ago. He said 10 of the players love you, the 25. 10 love you, 10 hate you. Right. Keep the five that are undecided away from the guys that hate you. That's right.
Starting point is 00:15:29 That's true. That keeps you around longer. Great seeing you. You're always good to see you guys, man. All right. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd weekdays in noon Eastern 9 a.m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, FS1, and the IHeard Radio app. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not.

Starting point is 00:17:32 And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 was big to me not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day but just so y'all know
Starting point is 00:17:51 I mean at this point Mark this is the second episode where we've discussed crack so I'm starting to see there's a through line We also have AIDS on the table right now so
Starting point is 00:17:58 Thank you for finishing that sentence I don't think there's a more important year for black people Really? Yeah for me it's one of the most important years for black people in American history

And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross,

Starting point is 00:19:28 Who do you like in that? So you got Belichick against a young quarterback. I say I like New England. Where's the game at? Foxborough. In Foxborough. Okay, I like New England. Belichick with Prap against Zach Wilson.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I'm going with the Jets. Let's go! I think better team. I think the coach. The coaching is close. Tommy. Yeah, it's close. That Jets' defense just befuddled.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Josh Allen two weeks ago. Befuddled. How about that? Yeah, I like them. I like that. Whose sauce Gardner are going to even match up with? They don't have a number one receiver. That is fair.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I mean, serious, that Jets pass rush. Four guys bring heat. Do you see the Niners last night when Herbert was at the one? It's just like, we're just giving four guys. Yeah, that was crazy, man. Niners pass rush. I need the Niners to do more, though. All those skill players?
Starting point is 00:20:13 And they don't 22. I was waiting to see like this offense. McCaffrey going left, right, got deep over the middle. That's what we said. Kittal had like one catch, I think. Yeah, I don't. This is my takeaway. They're too tied to their game plan.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Okay. They don't loosen it up. Like they come in with a game plan and they run it. But in the second half, they're 24th in the league in scoring. Dude, let him breathe. Let Garoppolo throw it down the field. They're tied to that sheet. They treat him like a rookie, like the way they throw the ball with him.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Like a million screens. It's like, you know what I mean? Like, it looks like it. Like, we don't want to throw the ball with this guy. That's, we talked about that earlier. All right, let's get to the NBA. The Lakers were missing LeBron. He did not play Sunday night due to a groin injury.
Starting point is 00:20:57 AD stepped up. Guy Collin wants to ship out of town. Anthony Davis, 37 and 18. I would move him today. Perfect time. They're showcasing AD. He dominated, I don't know, who's that, Nick Claxton. I don't even know who.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Ben Simmons did not play. Kyrie Irving, still not with the team. Lakers got to. win. They are now three and ten, I believe. There you go. Second worst in the NBA. I didn't. I didn't. I just saw highlights this morning. You didn't miss much. Although Russell Westbrook, shout out,
Starting point is 00:21:25 doing a great block of Kevin Durant. I saw that. That's why I saw. And that wraps up our NBA story back to football. And this is sad news. Colin Cooper Cup, injured Sunday in the loss to the Cardinals. It does not look good. Initial testing showing he avoided
Starting point is 00:21:41 a major injury, but there's an MRI scheduled for shortly. McVeigh sounded very somber talking about it. I think the season's over for the Rams, we can agree. They're not making the playoffs. They're not getting a wild card. They now have to have, I think they have to take a big swing and move some pieces. They need to get a first round pick. I think they have a second and a third.
Starting point is 00:22:02 They do not have a first. In the trade for golf, so the Detroit Lions, that could be a top ten pick, depending how long Stafford is out. Because the Wolf of Wall Street, John Wolford yesterday, he didn't look great. I just saw a highlight to this. watch the Lakers or the Rams and I live in L.A. You've got no Cooper Cup. Are you going to sell low on Alan Robinson?
Starting point is 00:22:21 No, I think I'm keeping Aaron Donald, Cooper Cup, Stafford. I'm thinking of moving some pieces. I think the story arc here, it peaked, it's coming down. I think they have to get younger, and I think they have to get faster. Are you looking to shop Jalen Ramsey?
Starting point is 00:22:40 I think you could get a one for him. He's great. my takeaway here is you've got to get faster offensively. They're just not dynamic enough. And I'm watching these teams like Minnesota and Cincinnati and Kansas City and it's like speed guy, speed guy, speeds guy. And they don't have the draft picks. Alan Robinson, Van Jefferson and Cooper Cup, I need a couple of Darius Tonys.
Starting point is 00:23:06 I need some movement back there because they're out on Cam Acre so they don't have a dynamic back. Their tight ends good. but he's not, he's not Kelsey. They just, they need more pop offensive. By the way, Aaron Donald was on a milk carton yesterday, did nothing. Now, I know he gets excited to play Kylo Murray, but it was against Colt McCoy, who's related to Shady McCoy.
Starting point is 00:23:26 That was the craziest thing he ever told me. Anyway, final story, Colin, Eagles commanders tonight. Week 10 wraps up. Eagles 8-0. Average margin of victory just over 11 points. They have not trailed yet in the second half of any game this season. Yeah. According to Fox bet, the line is Eagles.
Starting point is 00:23:42 favor by 11. They won the first meeting 24 to 8. It was kind of a weird game. Eagle scored all their points in the second quarter. Nothing else the rest of the way. I have bet the under in this one. Divisional matchups, for sure. You've got to go with the under. You take an aside or total? Listen, if you look at the games yesterday, a lot of dogs, none of mine, but a lot of dogs cover. I just took all the wrong dog yesterday. But if you're giving me 11 points divisional game, I would probably take Washington in the under. I think they lose by about 10. I was just seeing a couple of reports online. Chase Young not expected to play.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I mean, they've been waiting for this guy for a while, the former Ohio State Star. He's not going to suit up tonight. But Washington's run defense could give Hertz and companies some problems, so it's going to be a pass game. And I think Washington's decent, and this is closer than the experts thing. I mean, if I said to you, it's going to be 28, 23, 28, 20. That's a little high scoring for my liking. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:35 20, 24, 20 Philly. 27-20 Philly. How about that? About more along, 23-13-ish, 23-10. I don't see Washington scoring a lot. And Taylor Heineke, you know, he cost me money last week against the Vikings' fourth quarter with that interception. So I'm not backing him again.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Yeah, we both lost that win. I'm just taking the wrong dogs. I love my dogs. None of my dogs are barking. This upcoming week, I mean, stop me if you've heard this before. This coming week is going to be insane in the NFL. College football as well, the big matchup you will be going to. USC UCLA?
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah. Big deal. It's got to be a huge game. Huge. Could be a playoff ramifications. Absolutely. By the way, I told you the ducks, a little whiff of fraudulence. I told you they were.
Starting point is 00:25:19 I told you. They're not that good. Sorry, shout out Oregon fans. I know I got a couple of them. We're going to text me in a couple minutes. You were right. You were right. I was wrong. Jay Mack with the news.

Starting point is 00:28:28 Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because, of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses.
Starting point is 00:29:39 Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth? Are you a good person because you're afraid?

I always told you my name would be Sky Bamister if I was a weathercaster. They're very talented weather people all over Los Angeles. Of course, the weather is the same. about 300 days a year. Love my guy, Dallas Range. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Football forecast AFC edition. You ready? Of course. Born ready, baby. Here we go. Let's start with the Miami Dolphins. What's the forecast for the Miami Dolphins for the remainder of the season? I know you're going to think this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:30:51 It's clear skies. Here's why. Tua is 14 and 1 in the last 15 games he's finished. Now, three of the next four are on the road, but the chargers and bills are uneven. The Niners are beatable, and they're on a four-game winning streak. I buy into Miami. I had them as a playoff team.
Starting point is 00:31:09 They're better than I thought. Clear skies ahead. Wow. Okay. Buffalo Bills. What's the forecast for Orchard Park, New York? Well, appropriately, a little cloudy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Partly cloudy. Here's my concern. Haven't scored a TD in the second half since week six. Wow. They are lost two and nine record in one score games since the start of last season. Too many small mistakes. Too many little nuances need to be corrected. still going to be bumpy.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Okay, let's get to a really good team on the uptick. What's the forecast for the New York Jets, the remainder of the season? Little stormy. Okay, here's my concerns. At Patriots, at Vikings, at Bills, at Seahawks, at Dolphins. Five of the final eight are on the road, and they're going to have to score some points in those games. They're facing some pretty interesting offenses. I think you get a little stormy.
Starting point is 00:31:59 They'll be battling to the end for a playoff spot, but a little stormy. Okay, let's get to the Kansas City Chiefs. What's the forecast in Arrowhead? Kansas City Chiefs. Well, I think we have to be honest here. It does appear to be clear skies. What do you want me to say? Second easiest remaining schedule, won five of six.
Starting point is 00:32:20 They're pretty healthy. And they face Denver and the Raiders at the end. So some of their toughest games have already happened, that Buffalo game, which they lost. But I feel very good about where they're going. Boy, they would have to slip up for the bills to get the number one seed. I don't see that happen. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Forecast for the L.A. Chargers for the remainder of the season. You and I have our questions about Brandon Staley. I think it's partly cloudy. Here's what worries me about the Chargers. They'll face the top three seeds in the AFC over the next five games, the Chiefs, the Dolphins, and the Titans. Now, now the reason it's not stormy, Keenan Allen, they're going to get back.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Mike Williams are going to get back. I think a lot of their problems have been the unavailability of their top two receivers. So I do see, and remember, the Raiders are a mess and Denver's a mess. I can see the chargers getting healthier at Whiteout and making a run. The schedule's tough, but they've always matched up pretty well with Kansas City. They play them tight. For all the Herbert bashing, he was down both of his starting tackles and his top two receivers against San Francisco on the road. And very competitive with four minutes to go.
Starting point is 00:33:31 They were in that game. So I see light for the Chargers coming up. All right. I don't know if this is tornado hurricane, but the forecast for the Denver Broncos. Nothing but stormy. I mean, they have two games left with Kansas City. They've missed the playoffs in six seasons. Forget draft picks at the top next year.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I mean, just look at this offense. Say what you want. It's Derek Carr. It's Lamar Jackson. It's Mahomes. It's Kyler. It's Mahomes. It's Herbert.
Starting point is 00:34:01 That's why you got to just give Dom Capers the job. This thing ain't getting better. To be that inefficient off a buy week didn't get a trip to the red zone. I mean, it was just one busted play. You would think in a buy week you'd come out with new packages. Nothing. Nothing new. Nathaniel Hackett is not a head coach.
Starting point is 00:34:24 It's okay. He can be a good coach. He can make a huge living. I mean, this is a big payday for him. He's set for life. but something's missing. You can't come off a buy and give me that. You talk about always getting rid of your mistake quickly.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Listen, if I was messing things up on this show the first month in, you would have replaced me in a heartbeat. Get Nathaniel hack it out of there. So I could stop killing my wallet. If you were giving me nothing but hockey scores for a week, you'd have been out of here. All right, let's get to, boy, if it was stormy for the Broncos, what the hell is the weather for the Raiders?
Starting point is 00:34:53 Well, it's stormy. Listen, only the Texans have a worst record. They face the Niners and the Chiefs to close out the seasons. So the number one scoring offense and number one defense. I will say this. It's going to be bumpy down the stretch because you can just see the teams they play. Now, Rams, Patriot Steelers in a row got a shot. I think they'll win games.
Starting point is 00:35:14 I mean, I think they'll probably win three games. You sure about that? We're the three wins there. Denver, Rams, Steelers. But here's the problem. Pittsburgh get home. It's going to be frisky. They could get doused by the others.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So I do not think they should fire the coach. The Rams won the Super Bowl. They stink this year. It's the NFL. They'll be fine. I would take the Raiders situation this morning over Denver's. Absolutely. I get Devonte, Carr, Jacobs, Waller Renfro.
Starting point is 00:35:47 And I got draft picks. Sounds like Jacobs could be on his way out of town. They did not give him the extension that he wanted. You part with Waller, Jacobs. You're basically resetting the franchise, which might not be the worst thing in the world. The only problem is you're putting it in the faith of Josh McDaniels. But they have a good draft pick. Denver doesn't. That is fair. And so I got a first round pick. I can go get a star. Could be a quarterback. Raiders have whiffed on a few first
Starting point is 00:36:11 round picks in recent years. A few. Like almost all of them last six, seven years it feels like. All right. Let's get on. Let's move on. I don't know. Cincinnati Bengals? What's a forecast like for your Cincinnati Bengals? Somewhere between sunny and partly cloudy. They got a lot of road games coming up. I think they can at Steelers, at Titans, at Bucks, at Patriots, you know, they close out the year against the Bills and Ravens. So they're at home. They face really good teams. The Bengals will be one of those teams.
Starting point is 00:36:43 When they get into the playoffs, if or when, we'll know what they are. Because they're facing a gauntlet of good teams. We'll know exactly. That's what I always struggle with college football. Is Michigan good? I think they are, but they're crushing bad teams. Like Cincinnati's schedule, you'll know exactly what they are in about a month. And my guess is somewhere between sunny and partly cloud.
Starting point is 00:37:05 That Brown's game is against Deshaun Watson, I believe. And we don't know when Jamar Chase is coming back. I have not seen any updates. They need him badly. All right, let's move on to the Browns, Colin. I don't know why they're on this list, but what's the forecast in Cleveland? Partly cloudy, but storm moving in. They've lost five of six.
Starting point is 00:37:21 DeShon Watson comes back. So four of their final six opponents currently have a losing record. do them. If you look at the end of the season, it's Kenny Pickett, Taylor Heineke, Andy Dalton. They could close the season with three wins. Now, they got Lamar Jackson and Burrell before that, but the Texans are on there. And frankly, they're facing Buffalo at the right time. Buffalo played a long, exhausting emotional game. You can see both the Vikings and Bills not quite coming out of the gate next week. So I think there'll be some wins for the Browns. They face some bad teams at the end, and they'll pick up some WUs.
Starting point is 00:37:55 You just gave away one of my early bets. Cowboys Vikings? I already laid it with Dallas. Oh, no, Dallas is going to, that's a... Shh. Don't tell anybody. All right. Let's keep it between us. What's a forecast for the Pittsburgh Steelers? Okay. Rest of the season. Partly cloudy, they lost six of eight.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Nice win yesterday, at home off a by. And they're in last place. But they haven't had a losing season. I would say this. A lot of those games at the end, Baltimore may rest, Lamar Jackson. It's Cleveland. It's Panthers. It's Atlanta. It's the Colts.
Starting point is 00:38:24 I think they're going to pick up a few wins. Here's what I think with Pittsburgh. They're going to go into the offseason feeling like we've got our quarterback. He's going to have a few wins. They're going to feel very positive about Kenny Pickett with limitations. But I think they'll pick up some Ws here at the end. I don't know if that's the best thing for them. All right, Colin we'll wrap up with the, is this right, the Indianapolis Colton, Jeff Saturday.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Second hardest schedule remaining. Very stormy. I love the Jeff Saturday story. But I mean, they face a lot of winning teams down the stretch.
