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, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, 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. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.

Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifers Show. This is a place for raw, unfilled conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it.

And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok podcast network on TikTok. On The Look Back at it podcast. From 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 is 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. I mean, 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. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You can check out our set. Halloween is Thursday. One hour from now where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong. Another joyous weekend starting Friday night with the World Series. Rogers have a 2-0 lead game three tonight in New York. We'll talk about that later. J-Mack. Dallas Cowboys, it may be, it may be time to rebuild, like now.

Maybe time to rebuild. Wow. What a disaster they are. What a disaster. Well, stop me if you've heard this before. The Cowboys got beat handily by San Francisco, and Dak had several interceptions. Brock Purdy alone rush for more yards than the Dallas Cowboys. They are a poorly constructed football operation.

Their defense, only the Carolina Panthers have a worse defense in the NFL. Hey, but Dak got the bag again. Good luck with that. I think the Dallas Cowboys immediately have to consider being sellers at the deadline. Their schedule gets even harder. It's time for a rebuild. They do nothing well. a rebuild starting with a kicker.

I like him. He didn't even show up. He had jury duty. He's still good. Like the kicker. But this is a really bad football team. And the next four games are against the Falcons and the Eagles and the Texans and the commanders. And all of those teams won yesterday.

And all those teams now are playing really good football. So you think, oh, we got the Niners out of the way. No, I'd argue right now the commanders are playing better than the Niners. The Eagles yesterday were fantastic. I mean, the Texans, say what you want about the Texans, but when they're healthy, they're really good. In Atlanta, they're going to win their division. I mean, here's what makes it worse. Dallas now three and four.

San Francisco was down like four or five high-end starters. They were on their third running back. They're on their third kicker. And then Debo Samuel gets hurt during the game. Brock Purdy didn't play well. And they still rushed for 223 yards. They still did it. I mean, they're down multiple players.

Christian McCaffrey's coming back soon. Greg Jennings, Joan Jennings, they're getting guys back. So off a buy, Dallas showed a little bit of life in the first half. But then it went to the second half and the Cowboys' first three second half drives. Listen to this. Pick three and out, three and out. And the Niners, with the better coach, making adjustments,

their first three possessions in the second half, touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. They outgained the Cowboys just in the third quarter, almost 10 to 1. And this is off a buy. This is when you're arrested. Yeah, Micah Parsons wasn't there. I mean, how many Christian McCamphrey wasn't there for the other guy? So, you know, the old saying, if you fool me once, shame on you.

If you fool me twice, shame on me. If you fool all of us for like 29 years, what does that translate to? The Mike McCarthy Cowboys look now like the Jason Garrett Cowboys. That looked like the Wade Phillips Cowboys that looked like the Chan Gayley Cowboys. I mean, outside of Boeing, has any major brand fallen harder and faster in the last 12 months than the Dallas Cowboys? I just don't get it. the schedule is getting tougher, DAC against the better teams can't play. I think you have to sell it.

I think you have to keep the kicker, keep C.D. Lamb, I guess you keep DAC, and just move parts. Trade deadlines coming up. A lot of people would go for Micah Parsons. A lot of people would. DeMarcus Lawrence, one of the corners. Maybe you're tied in. You're a mile away from Detroit. I mean, I watched Philadelphia yesterday.

That roster is stacked. San Francisco is better than you, and they're not healthy yet. Kansas cities and Buffaloes and Baltimore's and Houston's and I mean the Chargers look good yesterday I mean this roster is not top 10 I'm not sure if it's top 15 in the league I think you gotta sell it and I mean you're stuck with DAC

and you know DAC against the Niners you get interceptions that's what you get and here's the quarterback after I turn the ball over period as I said I don't have to be perfect but I damn sure can't be having the turnovers I frustrated myself my play. I imagine the rest of the guys are.

Not getting the win. Two now, two in a row. Sitting at three and four. But I can definitely tell you that nobody's shaking or giving up. Frustration is very high. But it's a long season.

And it keeps getting longer, the more they play. That's when you know you're in trouble. When a long season, it's happening to the Jets feels longer after every game is over. I mean, the Niners were off. A tough physical game, an emotional

loss to Kansas City. The Cowboys had a buy. So this was a perfect opportunity to finally knock out San Francisco. And that third quarter, it was a coaching mismatch, a run game mismatch, a quarterback mismatch.

I think he'd tear it down and rebuild it. It's painful. Cowboy fans are loyal, but this doesn't work, and this isn't close. and here come the commanders and the Eagles and the Texans and the Falcons. You could, I mean, you could lose all of those games. Okay, so yesterday, I mean, I'm not somebody that, you know, says, you know, this coach needs to be fired or get rid of this staff. I'll make an exception today. Multiple people probably need to lose their job that coached the Chicago Bears.

They lost the Washington. And they deserve to lose to Washington. That was not luck with a Hail Mary. Okay, maybe it was luck. But what I saw in the second half may have been the worst coaching I have seen by an NFL team over the course of a half in years. I mean, number one, handing the ball to a backup center, you've got good running backs. You've got good tight ends. You've got good wide receivers.

Handing the ball to a backup center, that was your best drive of the day to that point. You had one big run, but that was the best drive of the day to that point. And that's your play. Off a buy, that's the play. That's your clever play. that is just that's non-negotiable you can't do that

you're not you're not Carolina you've got players in fact you've spent money on the offensive side multiple tight ends multiple receivers a good running back a capable backup running back a mobile quarterback that can't be it off a buy secondly on the Hail Mary you got one of your defensive players John with fans

as the ball and the ball's in play He's just jawn with fans. I mean, there's also the fact that you have a linebacker on that play spying on Jaden Daniels instead of deep as if Jaden Daniels is going to peel off a 52-yard touchdown run. What are you doing? I mean, this is just coming off a buy, Chicago's first seven possessions,

coming off a buy, six punts and a turnover on downs. What is going on? Way to use that extra work to hand the ball off to a backup center and not be prepared on a Hail Mary. I mean, Caleb Williams was bad in the first half, better in the second, but didn't play well. What you saw yesterday is two young ascending teams and two tremendously good quarterbacks.

But tell me you don't feel this way this morning. Jaden Daniels, that's going to work. He's got a support system. Kingsbury, Terry McLaurin, Dan Quinn, new owner. It kind of feels like it's not only going to work, it's working now. Forget the Hail Mary. They outplayed Chicago.

Caleb is starting to feel a lot like Andrew Luck where you're like, you may need to clean house because this kid's going to get hurt. But that is just unforgivable nonsense yesterday. I never see anything like it. And I'm not somebody who stands up here and says, fire this, fire that. I usually defend. I mean, I defend a harbaw for years at Michigan when you wanted him out or a Brian Kelly at Notre Dame or a Lincoln, Riley. or I tend to be a sark after a bad loss.

I tend to be like, you know, it's hard. That stuff off a buy, it was a, it was, here's the other thing. Listen, after, they're defending the handoff and defending everything about that. Obviously, the guys are disappointed. When you lose a game like that, you know, that's a tough one to swallow. And we've practiced that play a hundred times since we've been here. And, again, I have to look at what the execution was of that. But we have a body on a body, boxing guys out.

Again, I got to look at it and detail it out and make sure we're better next time. I mean, honestly, here's my question about the staff. He said, we practiced that thing 100 times. Unlike the 38th time you practiced it, did not somebody on the offensive staff go, hey, can I speak up? He's a backup center. We got really good running backs. Can we just scrap this?

Like, it's not going to work. I mean, here's the thing. Let's say it would have worked for a touchdown. You don't get any extra points if you use a backup center than one of your running backs. And by the way, if I was a star running back for the Bears and I worked so hard being a running back, can't you give me the one-yard touchdown run for the big win? Doubling down on it. Hail Mary, look disorganized.

that I could go on and on about their you know fade pattern in the end zone which is like a 3% call nothing about Chicago in the second half is endearing none of it I mean move off who you got to move off but that's a mess this is becoming Andrew Luck one of my favorite things is when you go to the local radio team

on a crazy win so if you haven't heard it this is the commander's radio broadcast team after the Hail Mary works. Form with the goal line. They bring three. Daniel's backing up. He's just going to have to let one fly. Goes to the right side. Steps away from the defenders.

Gives himself some time. Now steps up, fires. Heads towards the end zone. It is... By the way, you went to college, J. Mack, near D.C. Why don't you just abandon the Jets and go with a winner? That team is so much fun. That was our surprise pick to make the playoffs this year.

They're better than we thought they would be. And it's one of those, like usually with Hail Mary's, I feel bad for the losing team. I was overjoyed the commanders won. They outplayed them. They out-coached them. They out-staffed them. They out-thought them. They out-prepared them.

And their quarterbacks banged up. Washington completely deserved to win that game. It's the only Hail Mary I've ever seen and thought, no sympathy for the losing team because usually it's so gutting and jarring and awful and you see the coaching staff melt it's like no you guys should have lost eight times what a Sunday what a week

and tonight game three in New York 232 New York now may have blown the series in game one when they pulled Garrett Cole I know it's analytics I don't want to argue with the seamheads don't want to argue didn't not like that move. J-Mex, you have a fun weekend.

It was an outstanding weekend. I'm glad you didn't bring up a certain green and white team. Oh, that's next. No, no, no, come on. We can avoid that. There's so much other good stuff happening around the sports world. Why do you need to go there? What, LeBron? How about LeBron had a tremendous weekend with the undefeated Lakers? I mean, we love the Giants tonight. Like, it's just a great time to be a sportsman. We love the Giants. Speak for yourself.

You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of us. sudden I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50

So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.

Hey, everyone, it's Ryder Strong and Will Ferdell from PodMeets World. And now the PodMeets Twirled podcast. We're two men who were completely clueless to reality TV, who now have covered Dancing with the Stars, Traders, and we're gearing up for the season finale of Survivor. So yeah, now we're experts. I know we annoyed a lot of our listeners by our severe lack of survivor knowledge. That is the point of the show.

I'm just going to remind you. I have watched some Survivor. I obviously haven't watched enough. Did people not like it? Yeah. Just because we? Yeah. We'll be recapping the big conclusion in the 50th season.

From the final attempts at gameplay to the desperate pleas of finalists to a bunch of Ha, ooh, ha, ha, ooh, again, we are experts. So make sure to tune into Pod Meets Twirled for all our Survivor 50 takes. Listen to PodMeets Twirled on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, we do it every Tuesday at this time, the top 10 teams in the NFL. I like the top. I'm not sure about the bottom. Here we go. Hierarchy. Time is now, let's go.

The top 10 NFL teams, according to college, number 10. I'm going to put the commanders in. They had 480. 80 yards against the Bears. I thought, I mean, they needed to hail Mary to beat the Bears. I thought they were the significantly better coach team and better team. They've won six of seven games. They're only lost to the Ravens, and that was competitive. They don't give away the ball at all.

They're well-coats. They only have three giveaways all season. I think they need to go out and get a corner at the trade deadline. I've got the commanders at 10. Number nine. Steelers, I mean, they win again. It looks like they found the answer at quarterback. Is it the ultimate answer?

Well, Russell Wilson is getting the ball to George Pickens. That is obvious that Pickens now is thriving. Russell Wilson has 21 straight games with at least one touchdown pass, longest active street, even longer than Mahomes. And listen, throwing the ball down the field, 15 plus yards, he was 8 of 10. So this is Russell like Seattle. You know, it's like Seattleite, defensive culture, good run game, tough at home, couple playmakers,

Russell two or three times, downfield makes a play. Number eight. The Texans, listen, Nico Collins, Stefan Diggs aren't around, so it's hard to judge this team. What I worry about is the pressure

that C.J. Stroud is facing. Like he's getting hit third most sack quarterback in the NFL. But again, like Washington. I love the young quarterback. I like the coach. They just don't have their playmakers healthy, but I think this is a team

that can win a playoff game or maybe two. Number seven. Philadelphia, big concerns about the coach, but Jalen Hertz, I said this, it feels like the last couple of weeks they've figured out. Let's close in on what we asked Jalen Hertz to do. He was nine for nine in the second half against the Bengals. He's running more.

He's throwing less. He's cutting down on the turnovers. And the Eagles are 13 and 1 when Hertz has no turnovers. So I think Philadelphia has looked at it and said, we're not going to throw it 35 times a game. He's going to run 10 times. He's going to throw 20 times. Going to keep it within certain boundaries.

And this roster is excellent Philly at 7. Number six. The Packers. Again, Malik Willis is 3 and O. I don't worry about much other than Jordan Love's help. But I really like the organization. I think this team could improve more than any in the NFL because they're so young. I think we're just, we're on the precipice of seeing this team go on a five or a six-game heater in December and January.

where they, could they surpass Detroit? But you got Jordan Loves banged up. It just speaks to the stability and continuity of the franchise that Tennessee bailed on Malik Willis, and he is 3-0 as a starter. And they put him on the roster. He hadn't been here a year. They put him on during the 53 men like roster cut.

A kid's barely been in town. Number five. The 49ers. Now actually they're undervalued. Because all their games are. standalone or national TV, we pick them apart like the Cowboys. Well, the Cowboys are bad. The Niners are good.

They are 3-0 this season when Purdy does not have a turnover and 15-0 since Brock Purdy arrived when he doesn't have a turnover. And they're getting healthy. McCaffrey probably plays in a couple of weeks. Jennings is coming back. They're all beat up. But I thought they were overvalued early. Now I think they're, as they're getting healthy, they're a bit undervalued.

Number four. I still love the Ravens, but here's the thing with the Ravens. Number one rush defense, and yet the worst pass defense. Number one, total offense. But also, they've allowed the most plays of 20-plus yards. So they're going to be in a lot of track meets. And they're going to win most of these track meets. But you saw it against Cleveland.

This is a team where I get so much explosion offensively, but I do think it hurts them in January and February. If you get gashed, you can outplay teams and lose. And that's what Baltimore does. They have the most big plays. and surrender the most big plays Ravens at four. Number three. I feel like I'm getting Josh Allen without the mistakes.

They're a bully against average teams, six and O against teams that are 500 or worse, and they're 0 and two against teams like the Ravens and Texans. So sometimes they're not as finely tuned as I like. But again, I feel like Green Bay, I get some cultural stability here within the organization. They're not allowing sacks. The second fewest giveaways in the league.

So it's a much cleaner version. a much more polished version offensively than in previous years, Buffalo at three. Number two. You could put Detroit at number one, but Kansas City is there until they lose. I mean, this team's blowing people out. They have more touchdowns 24 than incompletions 20 over the last five games. Best offensive line. Do I trust Dan Campbell's situationally at a big spot?

I'm not sure if I do. He gets very emotional, but that emotion is what built this culture, and I've got so much respect. I said this week when they played the Titans, it looked like Bama during the Saban dynasty and Citadel came to town. It wasn't a competitive NFL game, and you get about four of those a season. Number one. The Chiefs. It's so funny.

They're so nuanced now. Second best third down offense, but the fewest big plays. Forget the Tyreek Hill days. Those are over. What they are is great in moments. Great in goal line stands. Great on third down. great on opening drive. They do all the Belichick, Brady, Dynasty, and New England things.

In the biggest, highest leverage moments, they're great. But the ceiling offensively. Now, they'll get Rishi Rice. Who knows if he comes back. They're going to get Hollywood Brown, Judeo Smith-Schuster. So the offense will get some of its big play potential back. But right now, what the Chiefs are is great in moments. I'm not sure it's a great team yet. Only Detroit, however, would be worthy of a one, and until the Chiefs lose, I'll keep them there. Want more herd?

I have watched some Survivor. I obviously haven't watched enough. Did people not like it? Like what was... Yeah. Just because we... Yeah. We'll be recapping the big conclusion

He's the Hall of Famer and the Playmaker. 12 years in the NFL and three... The first time the Cowboys were dominant, he was the playmaker, and he is joining us, Michael Irvin, Pro Football Hall of Famer in studio. We got a lot of stuff.

So we have been talking about this all day. I'm like, listen, fans can get a little grabby, but they're fans. So Yankee fans got kicked out for tonight's game five. Oh, yeah. What did you make now? Now, J-MAC says you can't touch an athlete. So they did grab Mookie Betts. Mookie Today said, I don't care.

I'm over it. What would you do with them? What, man, listen, this right here, these guys are national heroes. What are you talking about? Y'all got another game in New York. Right now, they're sitting in some bar. They don't, okay, they can't go to the game. But they're going to be the star at the bar.

Are you joking? They're going to be the star. Hey, aren't you those guys? You're the reason we got another game. Way to go, guys. Way to go. Everybody, bite them a beer. Did fans get them?

in your face ever. But, okay, now you're walking out the tunnel, fans doing stuff, that's different. That's different. But that's part of the game. That's part of the game. I thought that was a home run. And you always taught me to go for it.

I was going for it. So he thought he had him a ball. Yeah, you're fine. I understand that. That's good, buddy. That's good. I could take that right there. I could take that.

Don't bother you. Oh, God, no. No, that's like yelling loud at the free throw. That's all. That's what that is. You touched him. You touched him. But he was in my area.

I didn't go on the field to touch him. He broke that glove over here. Yeah, J-Mack. You came into my area. Yeah, he was in my area. I stayed here. Them kid, they didn't leave their area. Y'all, y'all got to be real with this.

Look at those guys. They're saying, hey, right here. He came into us. We didn't go to him. Let me help everybody with this. Let me help everybody with this. See, look at it the other way. Them poor fellows.

Had they, and no and didn't touch anything they would have been the laughing stock for the rest of their lives no kidding they would have said oh my god you had a chance you could have affected the game and you could have grabbed that bullet so among their peer group they would have been laughed at oh my god you guys know i'm right about this they would have been they've been they'd have killed those they had killed those kids with a tea they're not just killed they're a kilt you know they would have They'd have made fun about social media in New York. The king of rude, we do what we want to do.

We knew y'allas. Yeah, all right. Yeah, dog. Okay. How about this one? Them kids, they got some DMs from girls they never thought they could get. They were like, dude, guess who DM me? Yeah, that Instagram model.

She said she saw me and influencer. I guarantee you they got something. Well, I mean, I mean, you got some DMs is what I'm talking about. Obviously. I won't know trouble. Okay, so the big story last week, big story last week, Michael, is that former cowboys are like, you know, the facility tours are obnoxious, they're weird, they're, they're, they're cringy and fans are waving at us. What did you make of that? Wow.

We can't, you know. We can't do this. Why? That's called stun. Let's call stun. You're stunned that players are upset. I'm stunned that I'm sitting here on national TV. I think using my most precious resource called time,

spending my most precious resource called brain equity, speaking about this being a distraction to players that make $60 million a year. Now, you understand back in the day those practice facilities used to be way out, way out, right? Well, they weren't this nice. Right, right. And they were never this nice. They were lost leaders. They were just lost money.

So they moved from one property, from a C property to maybe B property, and they're building developments around it. And people are having offices and watching practice. Now, now, do you want to live in my year when we were making six, seven, eight, $10 million a year, you go back to those old practices where nobody was watching. But your ass is in this year and you're making $60 million a year. The way they got it to $60 is by moving in and letting those people watch. If you don't want to people to watch, go back to making $5 and $6 and $8 million a year. Otherwise, shut the hell up and play football.

Why is somebody walking around watching you eat lunch is a distress? That's not a distraction, man. Let's stop coming up with stuff and making excuses for not showing up on the football field. Are you joking? Somebody watch me eat lunch. Come on, man. I cannot be the rational one. And I've seen this story making on every network everywhere.

I don't know how this is a story. I cannot be the rational one. It just doesn't sound humanly right. Okay. All right, now another question. I heard you're hot on this. Anthony Richardson. Now, people say, well, Josh Allen struggled in his first 10 games,

but here's where I defended Josh Allen. He went to a team with a defensive coach, no receivers, no run game, and he got good. His first six games to his last six his rookie year, he made a big leap. Anthony's got an offensive coach, a great back, a great line, two receivers. He's getting worse, like noticeably with Shane Steichen. I think they had to make them. I don't think they wanted to do this.

I think they look at their roster and think, we're the best, we have the best roster in this division. We got an impulsive owner in Jim Ursay. We got to win games. You don't like it? Well, the move? You don't like it. Benching.

Yeah. Anthony Richardson? No, it was the right move. You're okay with it. It was the right move. I'm not okay with it because I hate seeing the young man go through these kinds of struggle. And we talk about this all the time because it's two things that, play here. It's what's happening

on the football field, but it's also what's happening inside a young man. You know, and there are two things here. There's a professional him and a personal him. And we knew when you drafted him fourth overall that he was wrong. Very. He was wrong.

So, and putting him in a position where, okay, he has that ability and draft him fourth overall, and he's raw in his profession. Let's make, you know, an assess. that he's probably going to be wrong in his person, and we got to make sure we undergird him correctly

and not have these kinds of situations. You're the CEO of the company. I don't know you can't, you've, in the history of football, we've never had a quarterback. I've never seen a quarterback Teppas Helmand and come out of the game. When he said he was tired, what did you make of that? Well, he's a running quarterback, and I understand that. And yeah, if you're running and he's run a few plays,

And people got to understand during the season, you really, if you're not very careful and diligently, diligently, you will get out of shape during the season as the season goes on because you do less running as they're trying to protect you. You're also constantly rehabbing, trying to get healthy. Rehabing and everything. Yeah. They're rehabbing. So you really, you got to take it upon yourself to run more. Troy, I'm telling you all would run all the time.

I would see them running at lunch, you know, because their job, most time they're dropping back three steps, five steps, seven steps. Three steps, stuff. There's not a whole lot of running in that. So you've got to add it, especially if you're making a living with your legs. And you've got to understand that it has never happened in the history of the game. Now I can't put you back in the game because other guys will be in the locker room. I'm not worried.

I worry about the kid. and then I worry about that locker room. And everybody in the locker room is saying, man, what are we doing here, man? We got a quarterback, man. The guy's tapping out. Clearly, he's not ready for this. That's why they have to sit him down. They have to sit in the locker room.

They'll lose the locker room. This is bigger than Jim Ursay. You'll definitely see Jim Mersey if you don't make sure you keep this locker room. There is no way to deny you'll be right in front of Jim Mersey. in front of Jim Mersey, if you lose this locker room and that move he had to make or he would have lost that locker room. Yeah. Okay, so the biggest play of the weekend, Washington outplayed Chicago. Actually, they deserved to win.

I was happy the Hail Mary happened because Chicago had no business winning. We saw the kids screwing around Tariq Stevenson. It's a mistake. Okay, he's a kid. I would be mad, make him speak to the team. But is there a way to you and Jimmy, did you guys practice Hail Marys? day. All the time. And people have to understand there's a system

to a hell, Mary. There's a system. And that's why, man, watching it, I was like, whoa, did you see this? I was telling the guys earlier, I was at the Miami game in Cam Ward. He came over to the game. He was to grab the guy,

the stick guy. Do we have a TV timeout? He said, no TV time. I need it. Turned around, told coach, get the guys here. We're not going to have a TV timeout. I need to get it in. We got to go fast. I look back to Bernie Kozar because we were all on the sideline. I said, what was that? Bernie? He said, man, it took me five years before I learned all of that. I was like, I didn't even know that stick man existed on the football trail. You see what I'm saying? So to me,

that you're seeing leadership in a player that's beyond his years. What I saw in that hell Mary was something beyond his years again. Now, the order of a hell Mary, You have three men involved here, most important. You have a point man. His job is to go down and stand maybe a yard right inside the touchdown. So the first guy, you wanted to stand in front of the goal line. Right in front of the goal line. Boom, face back, rebound position, basketball rebound position.

Could he be a tip guy? Right, right. You know, he is the point guy. Okay. The first guy, one yard inside the end zone, he is the point guy. The next guy, four yards outside. the goal line. He is the front guy because their job, the defense, is taught to bat it down. So that guy is going to be the little quick guy, the fast guy. So if it gets back down, we need him skittoo-reedy,

and get your butt in his end zone some kind of way. So he's going to be a fast guy. A guy like me, Noah Brown, we're going to be on the back side, five yards past. The past side's the point man. And his job is the point, man, is to try to catch it. If he can't catch it, push it back, point it, kick it back, and Noah Brown gets it. But if they try to get it and hit it forward, then we got the front man to hit it. Now, now, I want you to go inside of a football game. These things are usually happening at the end of a game. And there are things that people haven't talked about.

Now, first of all, even to get to the 50-yard line, you remember, he had to throw that quick out. So we were in a two-minute drill just to get to the 50-yard line. That means everybody just line up playing, line up playing, line up playing, line up playing. And then you get to the 50-yard line and throw the hell Mary. You are damn exhausted. You are exhausted. You never get it set up as we practice it. Right.

Because there's never enough time for exhausted as you are. So that was this time, though. To run 50 yards. No, it wasn't. He created the time. Yes, I'm saying. But by the end of it, that that's what he did. The way he came, every time they back up,

and then the quarterbacks will come forward and go right or left. But that's not enough time, and they'll throw the ball. He backed up, went forward, went one way, then came back the other way. And then as he was coming to the side, he was going to throw it on, he still waited, see, like get in position, and then through that jump ball. I said to myself, that's beyond his years, to understand a sense of timing when you're that young, everything is being rushed. It's incredible, and it's so beautiful to watch how he comes along.

how he's coming along, but it's apropos for how to do you have done if you coached the Bears with that Tarik Stevenson messing around with the fans. Man, it's afterwards and there's nothing you can do. You know, we're not in the Jimmy Johnson years where you just

made an example out of guys. Right. Can't do that anymore. Right, right, right. Because, you know, you just can't do that anymore. So here, what you got to do is, and the sad part is he was supposed to be the guy that's boxing out. Yeah. That's boxing out.

Noah Brown. And that's only one doo-doo. That's only one do-do that you didn't get the box out. Now the other do-do for me is, is now you come running in and everybody's in position to play basketball to knock the ball down. But when you come running in with that inertia, you knocked everybody off where they were going and you were the one to kick the ball back to Noah Brown. That's the second do-do. You see what I'm saying? Also, they had a spy on Jaden Daniels that felt like a wasted defender. Right. But that's because

day. That's on God's shoulders down, though. What we're talking about what Jay Daniels doing is his ability to understand that he showed us up. But when he was getting away from the rushes, that's just what God just said, and just gave him that kind of gift.

He's smooth. Michael Irvin, the playmaker, defending righteously. You know, Michael made a good point, J. Mack. Mookie Betts sort of came into their space. Who came to me? I'm innocent. Their parking spot. They need no.

this car into their parking spot. If those dudes came on the field for that ball, that's a different story. It is. Throwing stuff's a different story. Right. Right. You can't do that. In all your years was there, I don't remember years ago, there was a player named Mike Curtis.

He was a linebacker. Somebody came on the field and he tackled him. In all your years of high school college pro, let's just go college pro. Did any fan ever run on the field? No, no, I've never had. Yeah, I was going to say most people are smart enough not to. Not that I remember. And you've got to remember, too.

Colin? I was always playing for one of the majors, you know, like St. Thomas Aquinas High School, the University of Miami to you, are the Dallas. You had real security. That was real security there, because they're one of the majors. This wasn't a D3 school. Yeah, that was always good. You know what I mean? We had the real Popo over there. The real Popo. We had to have the renters, you know, the renter's, you know, to rent a Popo. Michael, the Playmaker. Be sure to catch live editions of the herd

Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean.

I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with the Adamani Areva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How high can it be getting naked at 50?

with the new guy. That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.

Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone.

I'm just going to remind you. I have watched some Survivor. I obviously haven't watched enough. Did people not like it like what was...

Yeah. Just because we... We'll be recapping the big conclusion in the 50th season from the final attempts at gameplay to the desperate pleas of finalists to a bunch of again, we are experts. So make sure to tune into PodMeets Twirled for all our Survivor 50 takes.

Are you getting after it in a neighborhood I'm aware of or no? Because I might be in that area tonight. No? I don't divulge my secrets. Last night you were out there. I was living it up. You know, L.A. loves a good block party on Halloween.

Halloween's really fun out here in L.A. Weather's nice. You know what I was doing last night? Cigar? Nope. Total clarity. No cocktails. I was celebrating the jets in the streets. Let's go, Carol Wilson! In the streets. Yeah.

Hey, I was standing on business. Okay, I like these picks. I usually like my picks, but sometimes I really like my picks. It doesn't mean anything. But the last couple of weeks, I think I've been better. We had the Jets last night on Draft King, so here we go. That's a hot one. Let's blaze it up.

Fire it up. It's Collins blazing five. Cowboys have Falcons. I like Dallas plus three. I think they're going to win straight out. Listen, it's a must win, and they've actually been a better road team than a home team this year. The Falcons, six of their eight wins, have come by one possession. Their defense, six sacks.

Dak Prescott's going to sit in the pocket with time to throw. The Falcons defense this year on third down, terrible. Quarterback hits, sacks terrible. A comfortable DAC, said this a couple weeks ago when Seattle beat him. A comfortable quarterback against. against Atlanta. I'm going to take the Cowboys here, 28 to 27 in a fun game. Commanders and Giants. You know I love the number four. I'm going to take Commanders minus four. They outplayed the Bears. It should never have been that close. They lead the NFL in

points per drive. That's a key gambling stat. Their defense, I don't think they have great personnel, but Dan Quinn's got them playing like a top 10 unit. The Giants, a bad team are on short rest. They're 0 and 4 at home. Daniel Jones has not thrown a touchdown pass since his great left tackle was out for the season. Their defense now is on the field too much because the Giants' offense is so bad, so their defense is wearing down. This is a bad football team. The commanders offensively since week two have been money.

I think they win straight out 28 to 20. Lay the points. Broncos said Ravens. I generally do not like big favorites. I love Baltimore here, especially off a loss. They're in a bad mood, and the Ravens at home are money. Their five wins have come by an average of 9.6 points. Lamar's six straight games of 100 plus passer rating.

Derek Henry leads the NFL in rushing. I know what the Ravens are, and their weakness, the back end, I don't think the Broncos will exploit. Bo Nix on the road as a rookie quarterback has a 68, Passer rating and completing barely above 60%. They've got notable injuries to their right tackle. Their wins have come against the Jets and the Raiders and the Saints and the Panthers. I think this is a get-right game for the Ravens.

They cover the spread. They win 33-23, and I don't think it will feel that close. Lions at Packers. I get Green Bay at home plus points. Jared Goffs banged up a little. I'm going to take the Packers here plus two and a half. Matt LaFleur is a great coach, not a good one. They've won six of their last seven games.

They're averaging over 28 points. You know what? Jordan Love or Malik Willis, the offense is moving. And they're a very aggressive Green Bay team. They're second in the NFL in big plays offensively. They lead the NFL in takeaways defensively. This is a very unique Green Bay team. They're well-coached.

They're hyper-aggressive on both sides. and aggressive teams can beat the Lions who are banged up a little bit. All 12 different players this week on the injury report. They don't have Jabison Williams over the top to burn Green Bay secondary. I just think in a division rivalry game, Green Bay at home, better coach getting the points. Titans kind of got some rush yards on Detroit last week. Be careful. I'm going to take the Packers to win it.

An upset kind of, but I don't really feel like it's an NFL upset when the Packers win at home with the better coach. 28, 27, take the points. Rams at Seahawks. I like the Rams. Great coach with extra rest. These Thursday games are an advantage the following week.

They beat the Vikings on Thursday. Extra rest. The Rams are one of the better teams in the league when they're healthy. When Stafford and Puka and Cup and Kiron Williams play, they're seven and three. They're the second least penalized team in the league.

The Rams are a really good team with a young defense but because they started slowly, people bailed on them. Seattle's lost four out of their last five games. They've got all sorts of injuries. Tyler Lockett, Noah Fent, D.K. Matkaff offensive lineman. Seattle, in the last five games, they're one in four. They have a defensive coach.

They can't get their offensive line or their running game right. This is a division rivalry game. I get a big edge at quarterback, a big edge at head coach. And right now, a big edge in health. The Rams are finally the healthier team in the game. That hasn't happened all season. Rams win, lay the one point, 27 to 23 Los Angeles. J. Mack, you gave me a weird eye on that cowboy game.

I know it's a little bit of a flyer. I can't give away everything, but we'll talk about it in the final hour, Falcons. Did you see the Puka Nakua thing yesterday? I think he's going to play. He had limited practice. Well, if anybody's going to have inside info, it would be you. I like that. And also, hey, Lamar,

Jackson, sick Wednesday and knee injury Thursday hasn't practiced this week? Remember when I said, who's the back up there? I don't even know. Remember when Debo was in the hospital on Monday? And I said, young professional athletes with excellent medical care get healthy very fast. Lamar practiced today. If you think the sniffles is going to keep Lamar Jackson out of a football game. I'm telling you right now, Michael Jordan had a flu game, and we know it was probably a gray goose. I'm with you, okay? Although Greg goes wasn't invented at that time.

We got to make sure Lamar is starting before firing on the radio. He practiced today. He did. Okay, good. All clear. Got it. It'll be up to 10 in a minute. And I believe Puka will play.

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 funny. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and headwriter, Streeter Seidel, help an acapella 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. On the Look Back at it podcast. 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 you here, 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. It was a wild year. 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.
