Did you know that scientific studies have found most people lie once every 10 minutes? In my new podcast, Truthless, I'm talking to people about the lies, they tell, from faking illnesses in high-pressure moments to making up stories on national TV. From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Brian Phillips. Listen to Truthless on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts on O'Corpast. October 15th. Football show, my name is Danny Hypertz. I am joined by Danny Kelly and Kirk Worldbeck,

and we are going to go over all of the games from week six, including Sunday football with Giants' Walsh to the Bank. It's not that I'm embarrassed at all, but first, follow us on Instagram at Ringer Fantasy Football. Follow us on TikTok at Ringer Fantasy Football. But really, actually go follow us, though. It's very embarrassing to ask people to follow you in social media.

But, like, please do it. Please. For the love of God, please. We're actually earnestly saying, please follow us on Instagram. Like, please do it. So, no, like, right now. Just like right now, go.

Pause. All right, all right, all right. Oh, okay. Sorry. All right. It's really shableness. Okay, fine. We'll get to the football game.

Every once in a while, Hiveitz turns into like an infomercial. And it's like, all right, we got to move on. We've got to get past this. Like, yeah. Four easy payments of $29.99. Anything to avoid talking about the Giants game where they showed the little graphic. You know what's so embarrassing is they showed the graphic of the Bengals had like 75 straight games

where the defense had not given up or given up more than 10 points and the Giants like Daniel Jones fixed the Bengals defense and they also showed that graphic where the Bengals were 1 and 166 when they scored 10 points or less and then the Bengals immediately broke off the touchdown run

so that was that was and then the fumble and then I'm just upset I'm just sad I'm just sad Hi Fitz my transitive property I'm really upset because your Giants beat my Seahawks I truly don't understand how that happened after watching this last game. Well, you guys suck.

The Giants kind of like, I feel like every Giants game, it just gets messy. They kind of disorient you, you know? It's like a couple weird Daniel Jones drives that last like eight minutes each. Before you know it,

it's like the third quarter and it's tied. You're like, what the hell's going on? Why are we tied with the Giants? We kept making all these comments like, oh, it's almost Halloween. This game's weird.

Like, I'm like, all right, I get it. You didn't like the game, Mike. I get it. It's like, you know, 10 to 7 in like the fourth. And I'm like, man,

The Giants are kind of in a lot of games and I don't really know why. Their defensive line is really keeping them in everything. The only touchdown the bagel scored for 58 minutes was Joe Burrow running for 50 yards. It was a weird game. The Giants' defense actually played like immaculate. And I actually, I would, I...

Daniel Jones, I actually said earlier to someone that I... I think Daniel Jones, like, I'm Ben Affleck and he's J-Lo. And I'm just feeling like I have a drag... Not that he's as hot as J-Lo, but I feel like every Giants game... He's not... Wait, for the record, you're saying he's not a... as hot as J-Lo. No, I don't think so. Sexy Dexie is. But no, I just feel

like I'm Ben Affleck specifically like the dragon tattoo on my back staring into the sea smoking a cigarette. That's how I feel after every Daniel Jones game. Seven days ago, you were ready to get married again. Like Ben and J-Lo. That's the A-Lac-Lac dynamic, I'm trying to say. It's like if Ben Affleck was instead of J-Lo, it was

with Daniel Jones. That's who I am. Where I'm just like, it's snip, snap, snip, snap. But no, this game, it's like, I am biased, I'm fan-brained. The Giants' defensive lines very good. Right. The defense is legit.

Yeah. The offense has pieces. And I think if they had a better quarterback, the Giants would be a serious team. If Malik neighbors have been playing today, they might have won. I mean, it's incredible. Once again, like Craig says,

it's incredible that you guys were even in this game. I don't understand how that happened. I have a question. This is unrelated to everything you just said. Do you guys ever think that Brian Daibald kind of looks like Eminem now that he's lost a lot of weight? I kept like, they kept showing him on the sideline and he's got like the, like the really dark beard and like the really, really low ball cap like right on his eyebrows. And I'm like, dude, that I kept getting M&M.

And you just keep these guys. You see that video? No, no one saw that. I vaguely know what that is. Are you talking about the Christa TikTok? Yeah. And he just, it's like, yeah, you got to do many napkins. Yeah.

Did you be napkins? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, Brian Davis car looks like that. NFL coaches, I think, are the worst hat wearers in all sports. That's a perfect. That's a great take. They wear hats terribly. They look the worst in them.

And the NFL just, they're all just dads. Terrible hat wear. Fashion sets and they just send up these clothes. He's giant, I know the breast cancer wearing his hats right now. They're like this plaid thing. It's not working. It's not working. Oh, my God.

It's so true. It's so bad. these dark plaid hats with like pink and purple stripes through them it looks bad looks real bad it's horrific yeah

that's really good we need to maybe fix that they're just like how do they decide what hats to wear because you get unlimited access to like team spy guys soon for the most part what hats to wear a lot of the times

I don't know I don't think so I'm going to research I want to find the top five hat wearing coaches in the NFL I was like Shanahan for next week the same style hats every time

I mean, Dan Quinn's number one. He got the backwards hat. Quinn kills it. I like what LaFleur is doing with his hat game. He has a good choice. Kevin O'Connell. Right. Maybe he's just hot.

Anyway, next week. Good hat or hot? We'll do that. Yeah. We don't need to spend any more time on this game. I have to imagine most of America didn't either. I think we're like, well, wait, it's six here on the dog's game. We'll still watch that.

Yeah. All right. Winners and Losers, Week 6, D.K., who's your biggest winner from this week? I'm going to go with Lamar Jackson slash the Ravens, who, I mean, this was the game of the year. It was an amazing game. It was super fun, back and forth. I thought Jane Daniels looked great, but at the end, Lamar kind of just reminded everyone that he's still the man, he's still the guy. Two-time MVP, who's 27 years old, and he is only getting better, it feels like to me.

He is in complete command. I think the thing about the Ravens offense that really strikes me right now is in a weird sort of way. They kind of remind me of like the Patriots offenses of old where they can just beat you. In any given week, they can beat you however they want, whether it's like short and intermediate passing to Zay Flowers, just a run game with Lamar and Derek Henry, maybe get the tight ends involved with Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely. Whatever it is, like they can adapt their offense week in and week out to just. just play their opponents or play the type of game script they want to play. And they just dictate to the other team every time it feels like. And so this offense is just really running smoothly.

Amar, for the second time only in his career, he has back-to-back 300-yard games passing. So I just thought he looked awesome out there. I think he looks calmer in the pocket than he ever has. I think like it's just every game he's getting better and better in the pocket. And he looks calmer. He's better at maneuvering it, sitting in the pocket, hitting throws. Finding open guys, yeah. Yeah.

And the Derek Henry thing, he just looks. looks so comfortable. It just looks like this offense is super comfortable. And they don't need tight ends anymore, which is fun. They just removed both tight ends usually from every game plan. Doesn't matter because they have Derek Kennedy. But more Gage has his best game of the year. Yeah, he had a touchdown. True. He was,

he celebrated that touchdown like he was reading my like tweets and replies. He was so emotional when he scored that touchdown. I think after the game he was like, yeah, I'll be honest with you. Like, that felt good. It usually doesn't take me this long to get going. So. And then say flowers had nine catches for 120 yards

at halftime. There's a Ravens record. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, the Ravens looked amazing. So Baltimore 1 30 to 23 and then the Ravens looked amazing. Derek Henry is amazing. I mean, honestly, all these moves I look like they've worked, honestly. Everything about the Ravens' offices we said

has kind of come true. It's like the defense is a lot worse. The offensive line took time to get going and Derek Henry is he is like the Mariano Rivera. Like he's the closer for this team and it's exactly what they wanted. I mean, Henry's been a crazy. He's touchdowns in each of his first six games,

which hasn't happened since, but Daniel Tomlinson set the touchdown record in 2006. Wow. That was kind of crazy. Yeah, no, I mean, the Ravens are an unbelievable team. And also, the Washington, I mean, just, Jane Daniels still looks awesome. I know he had a good game.

Yeah. I mean, even just the fourth of goal, like the Terry McClorenz wrote, like, this was fun. You know, you know, you know, Jaden's good when, like, today, I mean, he's a rookie. This was his sixth football game in the NFL. He had 270 yards, two touchdowns and kept it close against one of the best teams in the league.

And we're already at the point where we're like, yeah, classic Jaden game. He's also still unreal on fourth down. I know. The fourth down thing I thought would be silly. But then he had like another two fourth down conversions. They're nine out of nine on fourth down. Plus they got a fourth down conversion with a, I believe it was pass interference. So, man, yeah, I don't know when that's going to end.

But right now they're just absolutely humming on third and fourth down. Craig, I was a little bit, I don't know what the word. it's not skeptical, but like a little bit worried about us hyping up Derek Henry over the off season just because of like all the stuff that was changing, you know, you're going to a new team like the offensive line is so, so different for the Ravens and there's some moving guys around. I don't know exactly how like Lamar is going to fit together with Derek Henry style or whatever.

There's just a lot of question marks, I think, with it. And it's like, man, he's the number one running back in fantasy right now. So that's going great. The one stat that I just, I couldn't get away from it. It's why I put Henry in the first round for drafts was just that when he was on the Titans, he had the least, he got hit before the line of scrimmage, worse than any other running back in the league. And then the Ravens running backs, Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbs and all them had the most yards

before getting contacted. And I was like, this is just the easiest call. Like, I don't need to hear anything else. I don't care about the offensive line. What Lamar does to that team's running game with Derek Henry, it's the perfect match. If you give him two steps, he's the best running back in history, maybe. like if you give them two steps to get up to speed hard to beat

my winner's quaint it's not quite Lamar MVP but like I want to just throw a quaint little good job to the Chargers. The Ravens of the West the Ravens of the West yeah they beat the Broncos today 2316 but it was 23-0

and that's when I kind of was like wow Chargers great job the Broncos kind of came back really late it was never really that close but there was like I guess a scare at the end of a late surge but the Chargers won have never They haven't won in Denver since 2018. And they had lost two straight coming into their buy.

And they were really hurt. And I was kind of just like, oh, is this another season from hell for the charges? Is this like going to go downhill again? And I don't know, this game, you know, they put up 23 points. Denver's defense is awesome. They handled them.

They ran all over them. J.K. Dobbins looked great. Rishon Slater and Joe Alt were back. Like that by week couldn't have been more perfect. So maybe my winner is like not only Chargers, but the concept of the perfect buy week. and I feel like usually the week five by week is not great. That's not one I would pick.

You want one later in the season. This was perfect for them and I now feel like I feel reinvigorated with the Harbaugh team being like, all right. I do think the charges are for real and in the mix and I think they're going to continue to get better. We're going to get to Harbaugh in a moment. We have a very important Harbaugh discussion.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. My winner and also my losing this week is the Detroit Lions. Yeah. The Lions are America's team. The Lions took it from the Cowboys team. actual America's team.

They are. Shout up to Tash Seth and pointed that out today. But like, it's true. I think the Lions are clearly like the most fun team in the NFL. They're the most fun to watch. They're most fun to root for. They're easily the Super Bowl team that would make the most people happy. And they're clearly they crushed Dallas 47 and nine. And they're the winner of the week.

And also they're the loser of the week because Aidan Hutchinson broke his leg. So it sucks. That sucks. Let's just focus on the good with this. Yeah. Let's just be good vibe. Let's vibes it out for the Lions here who I, I'm ready to like, there's a handful of offenses that come to my mind when I think about this,

but like the Lions might be the most aesthetically pleasing football team I've ever seen. Offensively. They're the Spurs. They're like the Duncan era like peak. When they had Hawaii, Tony Parker, Genobley and Duncan. Yeah. And they were like cooking LeBron, Wade, and Bosch. That is what the Lions are right now.

They can go to anyone. They can create open space anywhere. They are the most like pass the ball, share the love. in the league and it's beautiful. They make you, they, they are, this is a cliche, but they literally make you defend every blade of grass of grass on the field. They have, it's like a perfect combination of power and grace. They're so fast on offense. James and Williams has added this, added this whole new dimension of feel stretching and the ability to take little crossers and go like take it to the house.

They designed and almost converted two plays, two touchdown passes to their tithe, tackles today. Penae Sewell caught a pass on a freaking hook and ladder. Can I just say that's stupid? Don't do that. You know what's funny? I loved about that. They obviously they wanted to get after the whole like the Dan Skipper

and Taylor Decker debacle last year they wanted to do it again. And then it didn't work. And they're like, fuck it. We're doing it again. And then that didn't work. And they're like, no, no. They're doing it a third time. They're like, we're going to do this.

I'm just like you're up 30 and you're putting the ball in Penae's hands. Maybe the best player in your team to like juke a safety and try to get into the end zone? Is that really worth it if he gets that touchdown or he tears his ACL? Yes. Yes. They're playing Madden out there, Craig. They're sitting next to their friend talking shit, say, hey, watch this. If Penae Sewell tore his ACL on that play, what would the dialogue be right now? You think they think that way?

He's out there bramming into people every single play. Yeah, that's the safest thing he's ever done. I completely disagree. That is not what Penesul's body is designed to do. Oh, okay, he's just designed to, like, fight off, like, defensive ends every week with the most athletic people in the world. Yes, that is what he builds his body to do every day. I think you'll be fine.

Catch a good football. That's crazy to me. I don't agree at all. No, that's your basketball load management brain. I think the left tackles. Load management. What is saying we should pass the ball to our tackles? What are you talking about load management?

It's trolling, Craig. It's in the... It's trolling. It's trolling. That is warm. important than anything else. Dude, you know what I thought? Like, it reminded me of the Cardinal Jones

when they're like, you know, the Ohio State quarterback with that I don't, you know, we don't get paid to play, you know, we don't come in to play school. And then he, they were like, did you beat this cancer ridden, like, this cancer riddled kid in the hospital? Did you beat him 92 to seven?

Yeah. And he was like, no. I beat him 99 to seven. Yeah, no. He's like, everyone keeps saying this. It was actually 96 to 7 with three minutes to go in the fourth quarter, I won 99 to 7. Yeah. And it's like, that was Detroit in this game where they were up 30 and then

there are 40 and they're like, you know what? We're going to throw to our fucking offensive lineman to go up 40. You know what I mean? Like, they can't like, honestly. I support it. I support it. I went to Dominique Fox for a show earlier today and pointed out that like they're a coach, like Jim Harba would have fought someone if they did this to them. If they were like throwing an offensive lineman to go up 40 points in you?

It's also, I don't know. This is week six. You know, I don't know if you can be doing that right now. You're really putting the target on your back. everyone's going to hate you. I love it. Well, that's why we love the Lions is because they don't give a fuck. And to your point, I want to go back to what you said because you're solely right that aesthetically, they're the best, they're the most amazing team.

You know why? I really love the Spurs analogy because this is such an obvious thing to say, but it really gets the, it come with the Spurs where you're like, what do they do? Pass the ball, make the right shot, and everyone has a really different skill set. And you're like, well, that sounds so fucking simple. Why is it? You know what the Lions do? Everybody who catches the ball is wide open and they're moving.

Yeah. Like, everyone is running when they get the ball in motion and they're wide open. And then every run is blocked well. And you're like, it looks so simple when they do it. David Montgomery, I think, has become the most fun person to watch as a running back. I'm not saying he's about talented or anything, but I think he's the most fun. Like, he really has taken up that mantle. Jameson Williams is functionally speaking, probably the fastest player in the United Phil right now.

Yeah. And then Amon Ra's like, Amon Ra and La Porder like third and fourth options in Philzark right now, honestly. Did you mention Jemir Gibbs, by the way? No, but like they have the speed of Gibbs and James Williams. But the offensive line, they just bully you. And that's what happened today with Dallas.

And we talked about this on Friday, but it's like the Dallas defensive line is built to be bullied. And the Cowboys just and the Lions just bullied him off the field. But like, yeah, it looked like a high school game. And they hated that high school. Yeah, it's just really. It's, like I said at the beginning, it's aesthetically pleasing. I can't believe you don't like getting offensive linemen in the ball, correct.

That fucking pisses me off. No, look, if it's a close game and you need a trick play to shimmy a guy open and it's a game-winning touchdown, fine. You're up 30 and the fourth and you're giving the best player on your team who you just signed to a massive contract. Like, you're putting, you're having that guy. It gets the people going. This is the worst take you've ever had. You're the taking. It's the worst take you've ever had.

No, look, it's the same thing to me as Shanahan keeping McCaffrey in like up 25. It's stupid. If Penae-Sul got hurt. And got a high ankle sprain missed the next month. We'd all be like, yeah, did he need to do that? Probably not. I would have bet my life. If Austin, like, told us before the show that someone's going to have this take,

I would have bet my life it was high fits. And Craig and I would have been fighting high fits right now. I can't believe this. What? I feel like this is my corner. My corner is like, pull your fucking players when you're winning. But if you want the starters out of the game, that's one thing. But if they're basically just trying to be like, yo, great job kicking their fucking asses.

Here's a fucking touchdown to the boys. Like, it gets the boys going. the boys were going the boys were up for you yeah the boys were buzzing yeah they're the most bad ones the boys were sufficiently buzzed i would say i do think there's utility i will say this i will say this i think that the what they were doing with all the offensive linemen touchdowns it was one-third they really wanted to do it because of the obviously the last game they played last year it was one-third they were really mad that it did work and they were tilting and one-third i kind of do wonder because i think that's not i i i i think

that's the wrong criticism. I think if you're going to criticize, you're like, why the fuck are you burning those plays in a game? You're at 40 points. Like, why wouldn't you do that? Right. And I think that what they're actually doing, I think they did it on purpose. I think they were like, we're going to do it because it'll be really cathartic. But then once we throw another touchdown to a lineman, when we're the Detroit Lions on the one yard line, you know what those teams have to practice now? Fucking, what if the lineman catch a touchdown? And then they can get back to what they want to do, which is run it at the one yard line, but it's crazy to think that you've got to have, like, run defenders thinking about past coverage, which is what you want.

You don't want them to be it. So I think it messes with the mentality of teams going forward, which I actually think is pretty sick. But also get the boys a touchdown. Awful, Craig take. Awful, awful. If he tore his ACL, I would be so right. I am the nervous Jewish grandmother of the show, and that's, oh, no, the toughest guy in football towards ACL catching a touchdown, please. Okay.

Bad take, both you. This is why you guys couldn't be coaches. I'm playing for the season, not for the day. I will say, I think that the Cowboys might have been a big of a losing of the Lionsworth winner. 100%. This game is 40. Did we say the score 47 to 9? This is the largest home loss ever under Jerry Jones.

Happy birthday to Jerry Jones. Six weeks older than Joe Biden. 82. Turned 82, which is almost how much they lost by today. They're 0 and 3 at home. The Cowboys this year. They're 3 and 3. They're 0 and 3 at home.

They've beaten the Browns, the Giants, and the Steelers. And honestly, they could have lost two of those games. They could have lost the Giants and Steelers. And the really, they didn't beat the Giants very convincingly. It's so weird. They're so not Cowboysie anymore. Like they're so one-dimensional. The run game is completely dead.

They have the least rushing yards in the NFL. The defense is in shambles. Hyvitz, you sent us a stat earlier of what the Cowboys are dealing with at halftime. Just at halftime this year. The last four games, they've been down 27 to 7, 35 to 16 against the Saints, 21 to 6 against the Ravens. And today they were down 27 to 6.

at halftime. So it's like not only can they not run the ball anyway, they are functionally one-dimensional no matter what because the defense gets shredded so much. Their bottom three and a ton of categories, they've given up 167 points in their last four games, including regular season and playoffs. This is the third most over a four-game span at home in NFL history. Wow. Say that again? They've given up 167 points in their last four home games, including regular season and playoffs. That's the third most ever. in a four-game stretch at home in NFL. For any team.

That is wild. That's a wild stat. You know what's important, though, guys? Mike McCarthy kicked a field goal when they were down 34 to 6 in the third quarter. That was pathetic. You know what? But you know what? No.

I actually think that makes sense. You know why? No. Because the Cowboys, you know why it makes sense? They should have gotten Tyler Guyton involved thrown him a pass. Yeah, they should have. That actually would have made it more entertaining. Mike McCarthy.

the kick of the field goal down 25, I thought, I was like, damn, it's almost like this guy lied to get the job. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, yeah, that was the first thing he said when he got the job, was he lied to get the job. And I think this whole thing, the Cowboys reflect, an owner, Jared Jones, who is older than Joe Biden, who hired someone, Mike McCarthy, who lied to get the job. And then Jerry Jones decided it was more valuable to have Cid Lam pulled out of training camp

to get free airtime on TV every day than to have CEDA. in training camp working with Dak Prescott every day. And it just goes back to the whole thing. The Cowboys, honestly, the Cowboys is an organization. There are a TV show that prioritizes attention over, they are the definition of sizzle over steak. And you ran

into the Lions, and the Lions are the definition of steak over sizzle. The Lion's sizzles on top of everything else. But like, at the core of it, they kick the shit out of you. And the Cowboys, this is like, it's that Cat Williams joke. It's like a Chrysler 300 looks like a Phantom until a Phantom pulls up. That's the fucking Cowboys and Lions today.

brutal. All right. Oppenheimer, player who went nuclear award. DK. My boy, Chris Godwin.

Dude, Chris Godwin is having an all-time season. He's looking so awesome lately. He's the old Godman. He's back. He is back. And this is the thesis

from the off-season. Look, guys, we have a lot of the thesis and theories over the off-season. Some of them come true. Is it theses? Theses. Oh, I was thinking that,

but I didn't want to be an asshole. Thesis? I think is it Theses? It shouldn't be. Theses. Theses sounds like the Greek guy Thecée's like the Greek hero Theses sounds like theses to me

That's what my have been Thesis oh Fesee or Fecis Should we do that? Theses or feces or feces? Instead of fart or shard It's Theses or FetC That's the intellectual version of the category Yeah

Right That's the high saluting version yeah Back to the thesis The thesis during the off season Was moving him back into the slot Was going to be like a massive Big Time difference maker And guess what?

It has been He's played 61% of his routes from the slot this year, which is right in line with some of his best seasons earlier on in his career. Because like last year, I can't remember off the top of my head, but it was really low. It was like 30% in the slot. And guess what? He was wide receiver one this week.

He's the wide receiver one in total points this season. The wide receiver five in points per game. He's been incredible. He had 11 catches, 1225 yards, two touchdowns. And he's the yak king. He's like, He's number one in the NFL and yards after the catch guy. He's number one in the NFL and yards after the catch. He hit 125 yards today. 105 the 125. Has anyone gotten worse moving into the slot? Have we ever been like,

oh no, they're moving Drake London into the slot. Damn it. Yeah, it's the plastic surgery. It always works. It's like the literally it's like the more you put a guy, oh, C.D. Lamb in the slot more. Had a better year. It's never like, oh, we're actually thinking about moving Stefan Diggs to the outside and he's way better and has way more opportunities. He's open way more. than in the slot. Higher percentage, higher target rates, more room in the middle. To me, I'm literally like,

he's just closer to the quarterback and he can just go out of direction. And in my head, I'm like, but that is all it is. You can go left or right. And on the outside, you can go straight more right.

But that's it. Yeah. There's three directions instead of two. I think to be serious, though, like the only bad thing about getting relegated, quote unquote, relegated to the slot

is if your team doesn't play three receiver set slot. But you can play outside if you go to two receiverset sets. Sure. That's what it's not like, sure. but it was just

it wasn't just Godwin those the Buccaneers today the Buckees won 51 to 27 Yeah first of all I couldn't believe this The Bucks scored 50 points and despite the fact that Baker Mayfield through three interceptions

The only time that's happened in the last 20 seasons was the Monday night football Rams Chiefs game the 54 to 51 game of the Chiefs loss Oh wow Like that like that Monday one of the craziest games in the history of football and the Bucks game today

team had 50 points and three picks and then Sean Tucker, the running back for the Bucks was the number one running back in fantasy this week. Bucky Irving, the other alleged started for the Bucks, was the number 11 running back today. Like, the Buccaneers were just crazy. How bad of a running back is Rashaad White? Everyone who steps in except him.

It's literally incredible. Don't come back to work tomorrow, Rashad. Dude, yeah. It's actually insane. This game, our buddy Ben Solac had a great tweet. At one point, it was Bucks 17 to nothing. Then the Saints outscored the Bucks 27 to 7 in the second quarter. And then the score was 27 to 24.

And then the Bucs outscored the Saints 27 to nothing. And then it was 51 to 27. It was like three separate like blowouts in a game. It was bizarre. It was like very NBA, a game of runs. Yeah. Like it was insane. Like the Bucks had the biggest first quarter lead on the Saints in the history of the Buccaneers.

Like they were, they had never been up 17. nothing on the first quarter in the Saints. And then they were losing six minutes later. The Saints had 27 points in the second quarter and that's it. They had no other points. What the fuck is that? It's just a bizarre thing. Oh my God.

Yeah. I have to say again, the NSC South is really entertaining. Like the NFC South, the Buccaneers in particular are actually one of the most entertaining teams in football. All right. It's so over and we're so back. I think tight ends are so back. We're so back. We're doing it again.

We're doing it again. Dude, so George Kittle and Cole Komet combined had more touchdowns this week than all tight ends in the NFL combined had in week two. That was a bit of a sports science John Brankett's stat from you. That was one layer too deep for me. But I get it. I had to think one. I was like week two, all the guys combined in week two. Oh, fuck.

That's all right. John Brancisted it. Brancist it. Brankist it. The Brankist it. George Kittle and Cole Komet. combined had more, no, sorry. But all the tight-ins this week that were good are tight-ins that actually fucking matter.

And I think that's the reason they're back. You recognize the names on this leaderboard. Yeah, it's great. Evan Ingram came back, had 10 catches 100 yards. Evan Ingram, best game of the season. George Kittle, two touchdowns, most of the season. Colt commits, 24 points. Most probably of his fucking career.

Trey McBride, eight for 96, most yards all season. Mark Andrews said his most yards all season. Sam La Porn had his first touchdown this season. Zach Erd said his first touchdown all the season. Like the Titans who did well are in your lineup as opposed to freaking Charlie Kohler last week where it's just fantasy entropy and it doesn't matter. Yeah. All right.

We're back. We're so back. We're back. We're so back. We're so back. Tank Dell. We're so back. Tankdale's back.

Texans won today. Beat the shit out of the Patriots, 41, 21, 21. Offense looked great without Nico. We still love you, Nico. We haven't forgotten about you. But Tank, you know, stepped in. Seven catches led the team, led the team in targets, had a touchdown on the opening drive. Look spry.

Look fired up. What is it? Tony Pollard broke his leg. And then last year he said it took him until week 11, I think, to feel back to normal. Tank Dell broke his leg earlier in the season than Tony Pollard did. So maybe this is around the time where, you know, he's starting to feel like himself again. And now, you know, he's the most explosive player on this offense until Nico Collins comes back. So I think Tank Dell's back.

Texan's offense looked amazing today. And I know the patrons aren't, you know, amazing. Their defense is pretty good, though. The defense is fine. all their good players are hurt. But here's the, to your point, though, Joe Mixon was amazing. But C.J. Stroud has already reached the territory

where he was amazing and just, it's like, yep, cool. Doesn't matter. Shradham Stroud. Shratham Stroud. No, really. Like, CJ Stroud made three or four the best throws in the entire week.

And it's like, yep, cool. All right. I think the mixing thing is a big deal. I think having Mixon back in this offense really helps everybody. Even Damie Pierce had like 80 yards in a touchdown today. Yeah, like the Texans, the offense could, it was struggling for a while there. And I think I threw out the stat. This is from Nate Tice last week where they were facing on average the longest third down, third downs for any offense in the league.

And a lot of that goes to just, they're not getting anything on first and second now because their run game sucks without Mixin. And then mixing comes back. 13 rushes 102 yards and a touchdown. In all, the team rushed for 192 yards on almost seven yards. yards for carry. Couldn't do that in pre-game warm-ups. So I think Mixin is like, you know, obviously he's doing so much better than I expected. I was kind of out on mixing last.

I think he's just like looked so much better in this scheme and in this offense than I expected. And it goes to show like sometimes the scheme really, really matters, especially for running backs because, man, he just looks right at home and they're really leaning on him hard. And in this game, it showed like they had so much, they had so many more like third and manageable situations in this game. And it really, I think that's just like huge for the Texans going forward. So Tank Dell is definitely back. You know what else is back in this game?

C.J. Stroud, big brothering a rookie quarterback after the game. What did he said? He missed this. He did another one. He came up to May. He talked about it in his post game. He was like, yeah, you know, I told him like, keep your head up. You're making good plays out there.

You're going to be successful. It works for Caleb. It works. So I feel like we have to feel good about that. That's amazing. Wait, so next week, the Texans play the package. Do you think you could do that to Jordan Love? He's played more games in Jordan Love, right?

He gets the Colts in two weeks, so he can definitely do it Anthony Richards. Totally, 100%. And then week 12, we could do it 11. I want to see him do it to, like, you know, Dak Prescott. Keep your head up. He's got this. They play the Chiefs on Christmas. Or, like, no, it's the 21st of December.

imagine he beats Mahomes so keep your head up bro Yeah he's like wait wait wait come back Mom's come back I'm not finished DK who else is back We're so in quotes back Michael Pittman He went from in a course of several days Three days maybe he went from

He headed to the injured reserve with a back injury that he can't get under control To catching the game winning touchdown Where he jumped about eight feet in the air And landed directly on his back You know what's funny about that is like that's like that is the most back injury shit of all time. Like, back injuries are the most...

Super relatable. You just woke up and felt better. Yeah, it's like... You have no fucking idea. I bet you he did feel like he's like, I can't move. I need to be out for a month. And then the next day,

he took two Advil and was like, I'm feeling kind of loose. And then they're like, all right. I have to say this was the first NFL injury in my entire life that I was like, I get it. Relatable. Yeah. Just like, it is this classic back injury shit.

Oh, my God. Welcome back, Michael Pittman. Yeah, we're so back. I also have to, we have to, there is, we do have an it's so over. And it is so over for Doug Peterson. So they, so they're staying in London this week, right?

Yeah, so the Jackson's, two games in a row of London. Is there like any issue with like the fact they're in another country on another continent with, oh, you're like, are you allowed to fire? So the Jack's lost 35 to 16. How does that work with like, what does that mean? Well, you can't fire somebody in a different country?

Yeah, I don't know. I'm just wondering. It's like, you can't make a wife testify against the victim of a crime for us. So Doug Peterson needs to be extradited back to America. Yeah, extradited him. He's going to like, where's the closest not extradition country? Yeah.

To England right now. She'll be in an embassy. Yeah, seriously. Like, what are you saying, though? Because it's a bit. It is a bit. It's too awkward to fire him. Yeah, I'm just kidding.

It's like, is it weird that they're like still in England? Do they fire him and send him home? Yeah, I mean, this loss definitely killed all the vibes of the sightseeing. I mean, so they lost 35 to 16. It's a fake. It was 35 to 10 in the fourth quarter. This was almost as bad as the Bills game. I thought those were the most destructive I've seen a team all year

where the Bills just destroyed the Jaguars and Monday football. This was almost as bad as that. The Bears scored fourth straight touchdown drives. Honestly, it was six because Bears had five touchdown drives. And then in the middle, Caleb for a pick. But honestly, the pick should have been a touchdown because he under three DJ Moore by 15 yards. And he just missed it.

It looked like a home run in baseball, like getting caught by the wind. And the Jaggs didn't do anything to pick the ball off. He just threw it to them. Jaggs really gave up six straight touchdown drives to Chicago. I actually think that the Jags' front office is the problem. I think Trent Balkan and the Jags are a joke, honestly, in the front office. But I don't know how you keep, I really don't know how you keep Doug Peterson and the staff. Like the coaches, the players, the vibes, it's actually much worse than the Jets were when they fired Robert Sala.

And I do think the London trip, if it was they were flying back this week, it would be over. but if they lose to the Patriots next week, I really don't think Doug Peterson will make it to 9 a.m. on Monday morning if they lose next week. Did you see he, Doug Peterson said that there needs to be a culture change? It's like, it's like who's going to tell him, you know?

Who wants to be the one to tell him? Guys, I'm seeing Montenegro is a non-extradition country with US. It's not like too far. You could probably take, maybe Doug should get ahead of it. Hop on a Ryan Air flight and just go down there and just saying. What if Doug just quits?

He gets ahead of it. And he's like, I don't want to do this anymore. I'm so quick. I'm staying in London. You can't fire me. I quit. I don't think you get all the money that way, Craig. Yeah, no.

You got to get fired. It's key. I see you get the Frank Reich. I worked for six weeks. Right after he gets fired, then he should say, I was about to quit. Yeah. That's exactly.

I declare. Oh, my God. We got to get to Trevor Lawrence. Oh, God. Don't ask me. Ask someone else. No, ask D.K. Make him say it.

Well, D.K. Trevor Lawrence is one in ten in his last 11 games. But two in ten in his last 12th. Two and ten in his last 12th. That's true. That's totally different. Yeah. Makes a huge difference.

Trevor Lawrence is a dozen games under 500. D.K., he was supposed to be the next great quarterback cross with DK. Do you think thus far is Trevor Lawrence's career a fart? Something disgusting, but maybe passing, or is it a shark? Is a shirt unsalvigable? I would say so. It's not a shark.

I think he's salvageable. People don't forget. Yeah, he's salvageable. It's pretty damn close to a shart, though. Like, this is what we were talking about a few weeks ago. I'm like, at some point, you just got to play well, man. Like, I know, I know that you're a very good. talent and that you have

some incredible throws that you've made in your career. But like, on the whole, pun intended, uh, this is not going well, man. Like,

you gotta start playing well. I'm tired of defending you. I'm tired of defending you. Like, I'm tired of this shit. Every day I get up and I get a war for you. Tired of like to say, yeah,

but, you know, he's tired of being, he's good. Oh no, dear, yeah. It's okay.

idea. No, it's true. I don't know. I do think he is salvageable. I think there's a there's a strong chance he'll be good at some point in his career. I just don't know when that's going to happen. I personally look at Trevor Lawrence the same way. And I again, I don't mean to like remove all agency from these quarterbacks. But I look at the Jaguars the same way. I look at the jets that like where there are certain franchises where okay, they've screwed up six franchise quarterbacks in a row. And at some, it's cut you know what I mean at some point like how am I supposed to do like well, he screwed him up. And I don't know.

A big picture in this season. How am I supposed to chip? What that going on? Well, I'm not, Doug. Hey, his name's Doug. It is there. Oh, yeah. Well, maybe I'll go to Montenegro.

Yeah. But I don't know. I look at Baker Mayfield with the bucks. I look at Gina Smith with the Seahawks. I look at Sam Donald and the Vikings. I look at one of these quarterbacks that have like, we're infinitely worse or less thought of than Trevor Lawrence ever was that are playing better than him right now.

And I'm like, the idea that Trevor Lawrence are the better coach, like, fucking throw a Kubiak at him, throw a grandson of Kubiak at him. I'm like, I think that he would be a lot better. You know what I mean? It's like, imagine if you'd stuck Trevor Lawrence and like half a dozen different, like Minnesota, for example. I'm like, they'd still be super undefeated.

And I think that's the way I look at all this. But yeah, it's like, maybe the front office fucking sucks. The front office that has just every receiver who has had 120 yards versus them in three years, they paid $40 million. He's also like visibly the most frustrated quarterback in the league right now. He's, He's like slamming the ground.

He's really upset with himself. You can tell that he knows he has it in him to be better. He's like a golfer who got the yips and he can't like fix his swing. When we created a category of fart or sharp, I don't think at our wildest dreams we could have thought it would actually come to this, or at least so quickly. D.K. Jim Harbaugh, Chargers coach, left the sideline today.

He went to the blue medical tent. Then he went in the locker and he came back and changed his pants. Did he? Did he change his pants? That was a theory that went around. Dick, do you think Jim Harbaugh suffered a fart or a shark? It was a fart.

First of all, I checked. I looked at the video from him leaving the stadium and then him back on the sidelines. He was walking kind of funny. He had like the Lamar Jackson. Something's going on in my stomach walk. You guys know what actually happened, right? Yes.

And by the way, so I checked. It didn't look to me like, changed his pants. And actually, he probably does have multiple of the same pair of pants, like, in his gym bag. Thank God he wasn't wearing khakis. They were gray, dark gray, luckily. Yeah. No, he had a heart arrhythmia.

Yeah. So he said he had an atrial flutter. But that's probably what I would say if I shit my pants too. Right. Wow. Should we change the category to fart or atrial flutter? If you tell people you have an atrial flutter, they're like, oh, well, we can't joke about that. It's so specific and sounds so bad that you kind of just say, oh, my God, are you okay and move on?

So it's a savvy move. So here's my thoughts on it. I'm sure it's real. And he mentioned he had a couple ablations, which ablations are wild to learn them about them recently about what an ablation is. They kind of burn your heart. It's nuts. Harbaugh also said he's 2 and O with an arrhythmia in his life. Yeah, he had one in 99 and 2012.

So I will say this about Harbaugh. So what he mentioned was that his heart, I guess, can go to 200 or 300 BPM and it, you know, accelerates. And I'll just say this. That, I'm not a doctor, but I feel like that sounds like you're more at risk for shitting your pants, not less. You're saying when the heart, when your heart rate is incredibly high, you're more at risk of shitting your pants.

I think so. That sounds right to me. Yeah. I can't say that it's, I can't say it's wrong. I can't prove you wrong. Remember Game of Thrones when Braun is like, yeah, men shit themselves when they die. They didn't teach you that and fancy. lad school.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm like, I don't know. So you're saying because Harbaugh, his arrhythmia brought him slightly closer to death that perhaps he was closer to sharding himself. Yeah, it doesn't, to me, it's a very sharp omission of information. Yeah. You know what I mean? Anyway, we're glad he's fine.

We're glad he's okay. Yeah, I know. Yeah, for all. Don't think he changed his pants. No, not diarrhea, just arrhythmia. And the reason I say that is because I did an investigation if he changed his pants during the games today. I spent time watching replays of him walking around on the sideline

when I should have been watching football. No, that's all right. No wattles? I mean, he was waddling funny. So no shart. Yeah, I think he was like clenched over because his heart was far. Farter. Atrial flutter.

Atrial flutter. Oh, my God. All right. Real and spectacular. I just, I know what you just talk about the checks. I just want to shout out the bears were real and spectacular in this game. Williams is real and spectacular. I think he's actually on track to be the biggest

Chicago athlete since Michael Jordan by Halloween, which I was joking about in August, but I actually think it's true. He had fucking four touchdowns in this game. It should have been five. It should have been five. It could have been, or it was close to five. So, I mean, just everything about it, Caleb Williams is really impressive. And we're going to talk about it all season, but I thought he was

absolutely awesome in this game. And he rebounded from that pick from DJ Moore really well. And he just played really well. He's doing little things well. And after that grossly inaccurate pick, he was incredibly accurate for the rest of the game. Yeah, he looks incredibly comfortable. Obviously, the Jags defense is terrible,

and we kind of knew that coming into this game. This is a great chance for him to really go off. And he did. He looked so, he just looked so much like the Williams that we saw in college, where he's just doing his thing, escaping pressure, finding the open guy, you know, perfectly

placed passes down the field. So it's really, really encouraging. 23 out of 29, four touchdowns. I also think while we're on this game, I want to talk about Cole motherfucking Commet, who I think is the real deal. I've been like on this weird thing where for like the last three years, I actually think Cole Commet is a good player. And for some reason, like no one else agrees with me,

including maybe the Bears who signed Gerald Everett in the offseason and then like barely played Cole Cabet in week one. But basically since week one, Cole Commet, which he only played like 40-something percent of the snaps in that game. but since week since week two on he's the tight end two in total points like you left that the long

snapper got hurt and he scored a touchdown and snapped the extra point yeah he he had five catches 70 yards two touchdowns their long sniper got hurt so as soon as he scored a touchdown they had to go like find him in the celebratory scrum or whatever and they're like yo

you got to get in here man and he like went in in and dude they were like dude Scott got hurt he was like Tyler Scott they're like no Scott Daly. You got a snap. He's like, oh, oh, shit. Yeah. He did. I think he had multiple long snaps today and he did good. He did a good job. Yeah, he kept doing the extra point. You don't, it's right. It's London. It's early. Can I just say about Caleb that, did you guys see his outfit after the game? No. Actually, I think it was before the game. I think

it was his pregame. He was wearing a, he was wearing a full body tan trench coat looking like Gene Hackman in a 90s movie. And I got to say, I think Caleb Williams is, is going going to redefine quarterback fashion. I think he's going to eat Joe Burrell's lunch, and he is going to be, like, the most important fashion icon in NFL history. He was on the, I mean, wore dress on the cover with GQ in his last year of college.

He's going to take off. Burrow, like, doing the Vogue thing with Justin Jefferson. Like, you got to... Burrough just did that for shits and gigs. Caleb Williams basically wants to be, like, Aesap Rocky or, like, you know what I mean? Or, like, Russell Westbrook. I think he's going to wear like a metal armor plate.

Well, I don't know, but Russell Westbrook, I wouldn't want to model my fashion game after. That's okay. I also have to shout out. People have done it multiple weeks, and I don't care. I like it. The guys showing up to the London games has peaky blinders is amazing. Yeah, it's great. It's an amazing look.

And I, Roman dudes, I did it. And I don't care that it's a repeat. Everyone should do that. I agree. Good vibe. Good look. I like this coat, Craig. I know.

It's so cool. If you're listening on Spotify right now, you can go put the coat up. It looks, wow, it looks warm. Looks like he kills an animal. It's got a little,

like, fuzzy on the outside. He's like going to a business meeting north of the wall. Yeah. That's crazy. He looks like he just left a little, the night's watch where he had two martinis. He's like, it's like,

yeah, the day's watch, you know, because it's, it's, it's tans. I don't know. That's good.

It's good. Um, my real and spectacular. I think, I think Drake Bay looked really good. And I thought it got a little, it got off to a rough start. The first quarter and a half, even the first half in general, not great. He looked pretty skittish.

I said they lost 2141 of the Texans. He kind of looked like a little bit of a headless chicken. He looked like Mike the headless chicken a little bit out there. His first pick was brutal. He choked to death. It was messy. He was choking to death out there a little bit. He choked to death.

The offensive line was terrible. They did nothing for him. His center had been on the team for four days. So it's like crazy. Craig, I was telling you this before the game. This is literally like one of the worst situations you could put a working quarterback in. He has like very few, if any, established like playmakers on offense.

Zero. He was making Kishon Boutis look good. Oh, it's just Bouti. It's just Bouti. It's not Bouti. I think you could do either, but it is Bouti. Yeah. Bouti.

Aaron Schatz tweeted this. Yeah, it's definitely booty. It's booty. Farter, Sharder. It's A-R-Futter. But Aaron's shots through to this. The Patriots so far have started four left tackles, two left guards, four centers,

two right guards and two right tackles. Yeah, the offensive line was absolutely decimated. This is against a very good defense. Montre Stevenson's out. They have no run game. They have no support. He has nothing. And he goes in there.

He threw three touchdowns. He did make a few mistakes. He had a couple turnovers. He had two touchdowns. He has more passing touchdowns than Brissette does on the year. And Brissette started five games. And he ran for a little.

like 40 yards. He also recorded a tackle. He did everything. Well, on a pick, but yeah, still, love that. He recorded a tackle. It's like the meme where the duck is like, why did he record the tackle, Craig? Why did he record the tackle? But yeah, in general, like he flashed all the tools. Like, this was only game one and I feel like it was there. This is the scariest spot, you know? It's like the first start for a quarterback, their career. It's like, it's like your first drive off the T. I mean, I almost like, means nothing. Like, you should, you can just throw it in the trash. Everyone's watching you. You know it doesn't reflect your actual game at all. You know you're going to be kind of cold.

The goal is just to get out alive. It's just to make it through alive. Just just somehow land the ball in the fairway. Just put it on the fairway. Just put it on the fairway. And Drake may did that today. 100%. I love that. And then also speaking of Ricky quarterbacks, Spencer Rattler, I don't know if the ball was on the fairway, but I was much more intrigued with his golf game. Totally. He like hit a six iron two 20 and I was like, whoa. you got that in your bag? He's a little bit of an intrusive thought, kind of like, what if we just played Rattler over Carr? Yeah. I know they got their ass kick, but there was a moment there where the Saints

scored 27 points in one quarter with Rattler. And I was like, I don't know, man. This guy's making some plays. He brings a spark to the team. And again, just like with Drake May, their offensive line was in Shambles too. And Olavay left the game with a concussion early. I don't know. I thought Rattler for being, you know, a fifth rounder who's had a very bizarre career who was like the number one recruit on the high school. I saw the flashes of why he was appealing, um, heading into college. Yeah, and I think that's a good point.

It's almost exactly the same situation as like the main thing. His offensive line's been decimated. Olave left early on in the game. He has like no big time skill skill players. Uh, obviously Camara, um, but Camara couldn't get much going on the ground because the offensive line was in shambles. He's passing a Joan Johnson and Foster Moreau most of the game. Yeah, Bub means. Uh, uh, Spence, excuse me, Spencer Rattler,

throw a touchdown to Bub Means over Tyreek Funderberg. Tyreek Funderberg could not prevent the Bub Beans touchdown from Spencer Rattler. Funderberg was going to be mine two Kyle Pitts, two tight ends who outscored Kyle Pitts. Fuck, I'm sorry. Funderberg, it's all right.

I'm so sorry. Austin, Austin, Gail, who works here at the ring with us, asked us, was that the greatest play, name play in NFL history? Bob Beb Means over Tyreek Funderberg for the touchdown from Spencer. It's up there.

How we long, I think it was on a halftime show or somewhere, was obsessing over how cool Spencer Rattler's name was. He's like, this Rattler kid, come on. There's something there. Great name. Something. Rattler? I thought he did look pretty solid at all things considered, too.

Yeah. Any other intrusive thoughts, Greg? Did you guys notice how many punched fumbles? The peanut punch? That's a thing, dude. Yeah. So many. I think guys are, it's so many.

We have the same thought. They're everywhere. now. It just, it honestly feels like the single most impactful play, an individual player can make in a game. And it should be the only thing everybody practices. Brian Branch had one today. T.J. Watt had one. Yeah, right. Evan Williams had one for the Cardinals. It's, it's just like, one is like the most aesthetically pleasing thing to watch to just like perfectly punch a ball through. But I'm, I don't know. I know that players tried a lot, but I would lean in even more. It's like the only thing you should be trying to do. Do you think it's because they, because screen passes are such a

prevalent thing in the NFL right now. Like guys getting the ball out in space and you got D.Bs coming in at an angle and just like trying to punch the shit of the ball. You can, by the way, if you miss, like, you're just essentially punching a guy on the field. I've been waiting for that forever for like the T.J.

You're just coming up and just punching them in the stomach. And it's not a foul. I know. I think, I think it's a skill thing. And I think that. Doesn't Fred Warner practice? as boxing for this reason? Yeah, and like, Ravens, yeah. I mean, obviously it's like the peanut punch

and then like, Tops of a Kowsky was actually a boxer in the Ravens. But, I mean, I think that I think it's similar to like in the NBA where there were no senators who could shoot and out like everyone in the NBA. Like, I think Rob Mahoney said this Bill's Pop, or no,

Kirk Goldsbury said on Bill's Pop the other day of just how many people could make a corner three in the NBA 15 years ago and how many people can do it now, like almost all of them. And I think it's like defenders, how many guys could like actually land a punch mid-play like 15 years ago. Not like six.

Now I think it's like 300. Yeah. It's actually wild to me that there's not like 18 fumbles in every game. I know. How do these guys hold on to the fucking ball like that?

I don't understand it actually. High tight, maybe. No, I think you're right, Craig. Do you think it's that in all type of mind? Play of the day, best play. I mean, all the peanut punches were amazing. I personally think

I have to either give it to, as much as my heart wants to give it to two things, I think it's hard to be a cold commit catching a touchdown than snapping the extra point. That's pretty cool. That's probably like never happened. That's like a real coach is like wet dream, you know? Yeah. This guy's doing everything.

Lunch pale. But I also would say, dude, Craig, once again, the line's just throwing all the passes from the offensive linemen. I know they didn't work. Didn't work. I just can't believe you're not to do that. I mean, they worked, but one of them was a penalty. Any other ones you guys like to play?

I like Jordan loves. Fuck it. Dubs is down there somewhere throw. It was actually a really good throw, I thought. I mean, obviously a little bit dangerous and a little bit aggressive. But he had like basically, I think he had unblocked pressure coming from the right side of the line. So he basically bought himself time by running straight backwards, more or less, strafing straight to his right. and he dropped back probably like 15 yards

like behind the line of scrimmage and just heaved a ball up because there was one-on-one coverage and you know that we've said this all off season we said this heading into the season he trusts Romeo Dobs or Romeo Dobbs I'm sorry he trusts him like implicitly like that's his guy

he just threw it up for him and Dobbs who by the way like left the team last week for a couple days and got suspended came down with it scored a touchdown he scored two touchdowns on the day so I thought that was a really great one too yeah the other ones Craig? Well, there was a the Eric Murray who's

a cornerback for the Pats, his pick against Drake May. Did you see that? It's like a tip ball. He caught. Oh, sorry, Texans. He caught it around like the guy's head. Yeah, like a Patriot. Like he just went around him and like used him to catch the ball on his back.

It was amazing. That's how Jared Gough wanted Tiller-Deckard to catch a touchdown. Just catching around the defender. He almost did. He almost did. Worst play of the day. I think I think it's Will Levis shredding the ballboy's knee. The ball man, he's like 65 years old. Yeah, it's weird to call him a ball man.

But like, Will Levis, I think it's the six week in a row goes to Will Levis, but it really, like, he just destroyed this man. I don't know why so many people in the sidelines are getting injured. There's a rash of sideline people injuries this year, I feel like. It was a montage in a mafia movie, you'd be like they're getting whacked. I know. It's actually nuts. I don't really know how you fix that.

I've always felt with the end. NBA that everyone sits way too close to the damn court. And I know you got to sell, I know you got to sell tickets and people want to sit that close and it's how you make it money. But there's just something weird about a ball going out of bounds. And like LeBron James is diving into like a couple sitting there trying to watch the game. A thousand percent. Dude, the chain gang is that two guys holding a chain like a foot from the sideline. Like here, don't run into this.

And they also make they make the material like that's like five yards off the sideline, the slipperiest material on earth for some reason. It's right. Ended Jamal Charles's career. It's like, what's the, what's the slipperiest, like, lube on the face of the earth? You know, they just cover, they coat it in that. Didn't we have an episode where we talked about astroglyde or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's like Astroglide just around the field.

It's rocket ship lube they put on the sides of the stadium so people can, can't possibly, like, run more than five yards off the side. I know this is a little ageist, but I feel like a lot of these people who are getting hurt, these innocent bystanders are always old. And I'm like, no, it's true. I know that's bad. We need to protect our elders. You're saying it's a culling? Well, maybe we just need to, you know, maybe we need some athletic testing for people with these jobs on the sidelines.

Maybe we need you to be, you know, somewhat young. Do we go the other way? And it's kind of like we always joke that like the Olympic events should have one normal person doing them. And like we wish that like, or like the masters were like, you should have a normal guy go out there just to appreciate how hard it is. There is something of like when you see these guys play football forever you get like. Sacrificial lamb.

We're just like, man. Yeah. If you see one person fall one time, you're like, oh, man, they're like done forever. He's the control group or whatever. Like, everyone else is so amazing. Like, one in four people who get hit on the sidelines get carted off. Yes. They like receive medical attention.

Like, just because they fell. Meanwhile, all these players are literally getting tackled like 40 times a game. Yeah. Andy Dalton pegged a cameraman in the head today near the end zone. Glad you finished that. Yeah, that started. You were wandering down a. Interesting road there.

What did I say? Andy Dalton pegged guy. Peggda is like a slang term also. Did I use that incorrectly? No, no. Maybe it's just a little arcane. I think people have retired the word for that usage. There's a new meaning.

It's kind of like when you were like, it's kind of like how you were describing, you know, is Trevor Lawrence a bust. That's fine. But then you're like, Trevor Lawrence is bus thing. And you're like, you can't do that. Yeah. The other one that I can't handle is that it's like Ravens Edge Commanders. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, dude. That's a thing, yeah. Stop. Stop that. Outrageous. Also, did you guys see? I don't know if this is the first time he's done it.

Has Will Levis always done the Spider-Man celebration? I don't know if he's going to take to celebrate. We haven't found out yet. Did you see he was doing the like shooting the web out of his wrist thing? Yeah. Yeah. It was a tough. Oh, my God.

Is that a nothing? I'm not going to say what I'm thinking. I mean, it looks like something, you're doing something else too. Yeah. Is that? Yeah. what are you saying like masturbating no no there's a there's a there's a famous like clip i've seen on like instagram it's like

i'm like craig you remind me the guy who plays spider man i never can remember his name toby mcguire no he's dating zintaya no uh tom tom holland third time's the charm yeah uh that he's like making the spider man like movement what's this look like to you Then Zendaya is like right next to her. She like bites her lip. I mean, it's bad timing on the whole thing, but it looked really, yeah, graphic in nature. All right, I'm caught up.

All right, all right. Worst play will love us. All right. Arthur Smith Award for Coach, you pissed you off. We have a daily double. There it is. Follow us on Ringer Fantasy Football at Gmail.

No, sorry, just the email. Email is through your fancy football at Gm. Or follow us on Instagram at Ring of Fantasy Football. And you can submit submissions for these categories in Sundays. And Joe B. Joe. Is this the Joey B? Joey B.

The Joey B? No. It's not Burrow. No, okay. I mean, people might have told Burrow about our podcast after the things that you said in the preseason habits. Maybe.

Anyway, Joe B's just the only answer for Coach you pissed you off this week has to be Nick Siriani. Yes, Siriotti. Dude, he's on one. First of all, he shaved his. his head. Yeah. Desperation shave.

Speaking of Joey B. Strike one. Strike one. They beat the Browns by fucking four and he's cursing off, cursing out his fans. Yeah, he was talking shit. He was talking shit.

First of all, when I first saw that, I was like, oh, that's funny. Ha, he's a maniac. He's talking shit to the opposing fans.

So then I was like, oh, wait, he's at home. He's talking to his own shit to the Philly fans. They're like the worst offense ever. Like the worst offense since the Jamarcus Russell Raiders. He beat them by.

four and he's Cussing out of his fans. He beat them is doing a lot of work too. Right. Yeah, calling no plays and generally being avoided. Big Dom. Big Dom's title is head of head of sideline operations and we're like, well then what the fuck does Nick Seriani do? I think he's Don's assistant.

Yeah, basically. Then he brought his kids to the press conference and I'm like at first I was like, oh, he brought these human shields here so he doesn't get asked about it like screaming of fans. And then by the end of it, I was like, I actually think he brought his kids because he doesn't think he'll get fired. He thinks he might get fired by his next game. Like, this might be his last press conference.

I think it's hard. You can't fire a guy who's bringing his kids up to this. It's just like, you know, it's like naming a lost pet. You can't name it. Chess not checkers right here. Yeah, he brings up the kids every time. Do you think he should bring his kids to every meeting he has for the rest of the game so they can't fire him? Yes, absolutely.

If Robert Sala had brought his seven kids to work on Tuesday, Woody Johnson couldn't have fired. You try and fire a guy in front of his seven children. in front of an NFL team of kids. Just bring seven kids. No, honestly, Serrani just needs to bring his kids with him everywhere he goes. They should be on the sideline. Yeah. With a big dog can babysit.

You ever tried talking to a parent who's got like multiple kids sort of like hanging around them? Like it's impossible. You can't. No one can focus. Like it's so easy to just get out of any conversation if you're Siriani. It's like, hold on, hold on. Like I got to deal with it.

And like you got several kids just like pulling on your pant. like talking over you, asking the question, like interrupting. Jeff Lurie is like, can we get a moment alone? You're like, yeah, give me one second. Hold on. Let me deal with this. You know the rom-com tactic of like the guy who has like the puppy and he sends the puppy over to the girl?

That's just Siriani with the kid. The kid's going to go up, you know, and be like, are you going to fire my daddy? They're going to be like, no, of course not. We would never. Let's go up to jail and her. It's like, I heard you hate my dad. No, no. I don't hate your dad.

This is a good strategy. He just can't control his emotions. Howie, is it true? My dad doesn't do anything? No. No, he's essential. Oh, my God. He should just send his daughter everywhere.

This is brilliant. Kids should run the team. It's like get a trench code. Stack them all up. All right. Worst referee moment. We have another daily double. Oh, found that one.

This one's from Josh. Joshi. Ron Torbert's crew in the Patriots game was disgusting. What do you mean? Just wrong, they just get a little bit of everything wrong. And also, I'm barring from Nate Tice, who's pointed this out for years. But Ron Torbert, I think is the worst ref in the NFL. I think he's worse than Hoculi's kid.

But there was a pass-offer. I don't even know his name. Hoculey's kid? Sean. You don't respect him enough to know his name. Hoculi tried the whole kid thing. That didn't work. Of all the Nipos, I think it's the funniest to pretend.

I think the idea that Sean Ed Hockleys kid is like Sean, it's like ref is the first. To be clear, bringing your grown children to a thing doesn't work as well as little kids. That's a funny Nepo profession, refereeing. Yeah, it is. Just lawyer, lawyer refs. Lawyer refs. If anybody has any funny nepo professions, let us know.

If you were trying to get into refereeing, NFL refereeing right now, like me as a 42-year-old man, how do I get into NFL refereeing? lie about being a lawyer. Go to law school. Yeah. Okay. Step one. Take the L.Sat.

Encour tremendous debt and go to law school for three years. And then just say your dad's at Hockely. You got to be kind of ripped, I think. Yeah. But yeah, Ron Torbord is awful rough. And we should like, we should like note when he's roughing a game for now on. You got a couple of tweets about how Land Clark did some good things today. So, Shell, Land, Land, Land.

Yeah, Land. Love land. Land Clark, the land clerk is like Bob Lobblah's Loblaw. Bob, La, La, La, La. Clark, the land clerk. Those are those who are listening to have no idea what we're talking about. All these reps have real jobs. Then we found out that Land Clark is the head of buildings for the city of Albuquerque.

Bob, blah, blah. Which means he's in charge of enforcing municipal code for Albuquerque, which means he's quite literally a land clerk. And his middle name is land, so he elected to go with land, perhaps when he got that job just to make it work? You meet with the building guy. He's like... Land. Imagine arguing about land with a guy named land.

Like, it's a real alpha move. Blah Blah's Loblog. He just slams the book every time. Speaking of which, the Lucille Bluth, I don't understand the stat line and I won't respond to an award. I'd like to start with Travis ETN, getting three carries and losing one yard.

Things aren't going great for Travis ETN right now. No. That could have been an end-so over to be. honest. Yeah, it is so free. Well, actually, I think it's not so infreed because Peterson's going to get fired and ETN I think he hates ETN. Oh, yeah, that's true. Okay.

Oh, wait, Carlos just texted us. We did a poll on Is Your Name Land and 6% of people said yes. Six percent? How can we confirm that? They're trolling us. Do you think there was some voter fraud going up? What if I Google number

of people named land? Maybe just six. Maybe just six. maybe just six people. Wait, how many people voted? 2,500 people voted. There's no way. We have that many lands. What does that mean?

We have like 12 lands? Got a lot of jokesters on our hand here. Oh, it would be 150 lands. Oh, excuse my math. We'd have 150 lands if that number is accurate. There's not 150 lands in the world. Austin sentence this, so I have to show on Watson. Hold on.

I just pulled up a stat. I have no idea if it's real or not. How unique is the name land? from 1880 to 2023, less than five people per year have been born with the first name land. They're all listening still. Wow.

And they love, all of them love fantasy football. This is the spot, man, location, location, location. Ha. I tried.

Should we do an insane to show him Watson's that? Yeah, sure. Okay. I mean, it's Austin. Yeah, this is like Austin's hobby horse and I love it.

Every week, there's just a more ridiculous to Sean Watson's step. I thought this one was pretty outrageous. Like a sadder, darker version of Kenny Pickett Fax. Yeah, it's like if Kenny Pickett Fax was Deshawn Watson. Yeah. There's two. One, the one Austin had was there's been bottom eight in dropback success rate in the first six weeks of the season since 2000.

741 quarterbacks to Marcus, Russell, Blaine Gabbard, J. Fielder, Achilles Smith, Josh Rosen, Mark Bolger, David Carr, and Deshaun Watson. So five of the worst draft busts ever in Deshawn Watson. Not great. And then the other one, D. you said me this earlier, Bill Barnwell tweeted this. Since 2007, 566 quarterbacks

have thrown 100 passes or more in the first six games of the season, 566. And if you sort those 566 by first downs per pass attempt, Deshawn Watson is last. There's 566 out of 566 in first downs per pass.

The amount of computing power that is being spent figuring out these ridiculous Deshaun Watson's because they're just going back in time further and further because he's just getting worse and worse. There are like content farms figuring out how bad Deshawn Watson is every single week. It's like actually bad for the environment.

Yeah, it's like mining Bitcoin, finding out how bad Deshawn Watson is. They've got data servers just running 24-7 to like mine the worst stats. Cooling systems, making sure they don't overheat. Not only is Deshawn Watson settled more lawsuits than thrown touchdowns, the Cleveland Browns. He's also destroying the Amazon

rainforests. The amount of Google Gemini can't keep up with how many fucking terrible passes. It's like Tesla batteries and Deshawn Watson's stats. Deshoyne Watson's destroying the environment. It's really good. Yeah. He is in many ways. Oh, my gosh. Did you guys see it's being Google Gemini? Did you guys see that

this was real? I saw it online and I thought it was fake and I googled it that if you, I googled the difference between a dressing and a sauce and it said a sauce is something like you kind of mix up and put on food and dressing is what you do to a wound. That's Google. I mean, they're not wrong. The $2 trillion company, Google.

Yeah, yeah. Two trillion dollars. I think I saw that like a couple weeks ago, which means they haven't fixed it, which is a long, they haven't fixed. No, that's why I thought it was fake.

I was like, I, you could try this right now. I, we don't have to go on this rant. If they fix it, is that like a stric sand effect thing, Craig?

No, it's just the strisine effect is right now because I'm talking about it. It's outrageous. Anyway, Google's shit. All right, burn book. So week one, we burned Sean Watson, which that was fresh. Week two, Christian Kirk. Week three, DeAndre Swift kind of revived him.

Week four, Kyle Pitts, week five, Mark Andrews. So, like, the last few weeks we've really revived people. Do you guys have anyone you want to burn for weeks ago? Do we have anyone we want to revive? Because it's working. I wanted to throw out, we haven't done a quarterback yet, other than Dejan Watson, who I'm not counting. Dag Prescott's been pretty terrible.

and I feel like you drafted Dak Prescott as somebody that you felt like was a golf type guy who you could rely on for 20 points a game. He's scored more than 18 points once this year and he said he had five points today against the Lions. I mean, he had three.

He had three points. Caleb Williams is outscoring. My God, I'm looking at my points per first down league and he had five. No, he had three points. I mean, Hendon Hooker came in for the Lions at a point seven. I mean, Dax's like unplayable right now in favor.

Dack had two and a half more points to the Hendon Hooker in relief of the lions kicking the shit out of Dak Briscott. Who do you have? That's really good. No, I think Dax are really good choice. I think Dack with three points into a buy. Because the Cowboys' next game are the 49ers,

the Falcons, the Eagles, the Texans, the Texans, like, yeah, how do you play Dax? What's tough about this is, I mean, Dax's been really bad, but on a per game basis, he's still technically outperforming Pat Mahomes, but we're like, we're not going to burn Pat Mahomes, you know?

Just out of principle. Yeah. We're just like, where I'm going to play. You should probably play any Dalton over DAC for the next month. So I think, I think Dax is pretty good burn. Like, you're immediately playing Drake May over DAC, right? Yes. Yes.

Yeah. D.K., did you have anybody? Well, I was thinking, I think the injury kind of saves him from this, but I was thinking ETIN. I'm just like, yeah. He's, but he got hurt, so it doesn't count. Yeah, but like, did he, though? I don't know.

Yes, he's hurt, but it's like each of the last three weeks. Four weeks in a row. Yeah. It's like each of the last three games, it's been like, well, he apparently got hurt at some point. His pads are off. I'm like, okay, then just don't play. One carry, three carries, negative one yards. And he's, like, really never been good all year.

Like, his best game, he got 13 points one time. Dude, negative is outrageous. I'm down with ETN, actually. I think people are really pissed if they have ETA. I think we burn traps. He's negative points today. Yeah, he lost, you lost points. Yeah, I think we were a rule.

If you have negative points, you're out. Yeah. I think it was a lot of a negative because he fumbled and then left the game. Yeah, but he was. He got concussed. Well, didn't E.N hurt his hamstring? The injuries are very different. Super different vibes of the injuries.

Also, the coach is liking them. Okay. All right. All right. Travis E.T. You're in the bird book. Okay. tune in next week when he scores 20 points. Yeah, he'll be back stronger than ever. All right, thank you, DK, thank you, Craig.

Champagne Super. Navar in the sky. I like how they add an ER for no reason at the end. I like that they hate each other. Yeah, certainly. I think it's really funny. Like the stuff that they've said about each other is outrageous. But then are they back in good, are they back on good terms now or do they just need money?

Good question. Both? No, just the money. I wonder what the odds are that they make it to the end of this tour. if they were smart the social media campaign for like your way instant

the ringer actually so first of Robberville at 60 songs explained the 90s had an amazing episode of Wonderwall that was mostly about the insults between the brothers but then Liam and Noel Gallagher there's an insults for a fan post the ringer Instagram Liam called Nola potato

nice potato no I don't know oh I don't know if I ever said this word on a podcast I don't know if I want to he called Tony Blaine the C word. Oh, Liam said,

I'd rather eat my own shit than be in a band with Noel again. Noel said Liam said Liam was a man with a fork in a world of soup. Oh, God.

Poetic. They are being followed right now. They have a documentary crew with them, so they definitely know what they're doing. The other one I have to shout at is he said they were socially distancing and like because of COVID or just because they hate each other

no no not from each other they've been doing it for 20 years that we're calling it now being estranged they were socially distancing no I meant one of them saw on the other one during COVID and said oh he's socially distance got well he's gained 50 pounds

I don't think he's socially distanced from the pastry cart oh hey oh do you really gain 50 pounds I probably be exaggerated for effects. But I like the insults. You're my wonder. All right, goodbye, everyone. Must be 21 plus and present in select states.
