From the deep inside the bowels of the city market in Kansas City, Missouri downtown property
to the banks of the beautiful crystal blue waters of the Missouri River
it is the original two, Topher and Mark, given the 2024 football predictions for the season.
You thought they were done, didn't you?
Hi there, this is your ears. Why are you listening to this garbage? I thought we were friends.
More entertaining than owning a pet goat trained to dump in your neighbor's yard.
It looks like this shit show is going.
The sports bastard is coming at you live if you're here right now.
I can guarantee that we are alive so we are coming to you live.
If you're right here then you would see us live, but if you're not then I guess you missed out.
Invent a time machine.
Yeah, time travelers or whatever.
I'm going to try taking the microphone condom off for a second.
And see if there's enough wind to maybe not affect it.
Yeah, because we'll get a little better sound with the microphone condom off.
I think that sounds alright. If the wind picks up, we'll change.
You know, everybody's mad at you now. They're like, oh man, I can hear you guys better.
Yeah, that's the last thing they want.
Dudes, knock it off. Yeah, it's like, damn it, you guys were perfect sleeping noise.
Yeah, this kind of gentle white noise that invades your sleep and poisons your dreams.
Gives you horrible dreams.
Yes. I tell you, my voice going all night, that would mess up anybody's sleep.
Oh gosh, man. People wake up possessed if they heard my voice all night.
There's a reason that people do not pay me to record audio books.
They pay me not to.
Yeah, nobody's knocking down the door.
Every now and then to get that mailbox money I have to threaten.
It's like the guy on the street corner holding a set of bagpipes. He said, pay or I play.
Everyone's like shoveling through. Come on, get over here.
Now, I am part Scottish. I love the bagpipes, but they have a place.
Yes, they do. I agree.
That ACDC song, Long Way to the Top, if you want to rock and roll, awesome bagpipes in that.
Yeah, and who would have thought that Bon Scott was so good with bagpipes?
Hidden talents.
Anyhow, let's see. Okay, I don't think either one of us did particularly well again.
I don't think we did, but hey, we're having fun.
You know what? Yeah.
Everyone's getting their money's worth.
I think we're going to be like the NFC North, what, about 10 years ago?
Yeah.
The leader's going to be under 500.
Yeah.
Well, under 500 the winner of the division.
That's amazing. We're both probably going to finish poorly.
Usually one of us will win over the other, but I think we're both going to do poorly.
Yep. Okay, let's see. You got a first game on the docket there?
Well, first one I wrote down was Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons.
Well, we both got it right.
Yeah, we both picked the winner. The actual score was 22-17.
I picked 32-29. I had a much higher scoring game.
You were a lot closer. You picked 27-25.
Okay.
So you were about close to a touchdown off by each team, and I was like two touchdowns off.
Okay.
But we both got that one right.
We're going to get into this a little bit later, but my home's magic has changed.
It is.
It's different now.
It is, yeah.
But it's still there.
Yeah, and realistically it needs to adapt and evolve.
I'll go into that a little bit later.
Yeah, that'll be interesting to talk about. I agree.
Yeah, it's a really interesting subject because they are winning and they are 3-0.
Yeah. Once the game's over, it doesn't care how ugly it was, it's still a win.
Some of the best teams ever, one by one point regularly.
Yeah, even when the Patriots most recently went 17-0 for a regular season, they didn't blow anybody out.
There was a lot of close games. There was some come from behind games.
And they did lose that Super Bowl.
Yeah.
And that was Steve Spagnolo led New York Giants defense.
How about that?
Yeah, Spagnolo. That's another guy I want to get into.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll tell you.
Sometimes you love him, sometimes you hate him, but lately here we kind of love him.
Yeah, he either looks like a genius or a buffoon. There's no in between.
He doesn't just kind of do the job okay.
He either does it superiorly or it's not there.
Yeah, like putting Nick Bolton out covering a tight end.
You don't do that.
Yeah, I was like, why in the world would you do that?
No, Nick Bolton is a run stopper.
Like he was used in Atlanta.
Like he was used all in college.
Yeah, all in college in Missouri.
We went to Missouri so we were able to see him in his college games.
He's a run stopper. He tackles the guy with the ball.
And you put him out there guarding a tight end, you're going to have a long day.
Yeah.
I love Nick Bolton. He's a great guy.
He is.
Quit asking him to do things that are not what he does.
That would have been like putting Derrick Thomas out in past coverage.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Or Neil Smith.
Because remember that was done one time?
Yeah.
Yeah, or Neil Smith.
Every now and then they drop Neil Smith into coverage, but just to shake things up.
Yeah, and they get murdered and they go, okay, well, Neil, you're going to go back to Russian quarterback.
Who keeps putting that play in there?
I keep throwing it away and you guys keep putting it in there.
So, okay, so we both got it right.
It was a tight game, man.
It was.
It was difficult to watch again.
I mean, it's stressful.
We didn't start leaving until late in the third quarter, did we?
No.
Yeah.
And again, that's starting to get a little more normal.
But it's still stressful to watch.
You're like, okay, we're behind.
We're not playing all that well.
Oh, we're punting again.
All right.
Clock's ticking.
And you're just sitting there, okay, I know they can pull it out last second, but I kind of don't want to wait for them to wait until the last second so much.
So like the last couple of weeks, you could say that Kansas City was definitively the better team.
This time, I don't know if you could say that.
I know.
Yeah.
Atlanta's starting to look like a fairly complete team.
They really look good.
Yeah.
Now, I do think the Chiefs are better.
Altogether, they're better, obviously.
But there's something to be said for the way they're playing.
And this is not just this game.
They've done this all season.
Kurt Cousins came back from that.
Was it an ACL?
I believe so.
Torn ACL.
He looks better than he ever has.
Yeah.
I'm thinking the head coach, listen to me, I'm thinking the head coach in Atlanta has really got a good insight on exactly how Kurt Cousins is comfortable playing and has kind of built an offense that just works for him.
Well, he gets the middle.
He's getting the tight end, tight end, tight end, and then he goes to the sides.
I mean, it's really good combined with a pretty good running game.
Yeah.
In Minnesota, he had Justin Jefferson.
So, of course, you got to throw a deep every once in a while.
But realistically speaking, you can win pretty consistently only throwing deep once or twice a game.
Yeah.
You know, you got the short and the medium passing game and the running game going and your defense is solid.
You know, he's doing that right now, too.
Yeah.
He really is.
And it's called, in my opinion, I think it's called survival.
Yeah.
It's like, well, we can't really do this right now because of various reasons, offensive line, other things.
So we're going to have to do something to break things up.
And one of the things you can do is slants.
Then the defense is out guard in the middle and you can hit long then.
You know, I mean, there's different things you can do or you can have trickery plays.
The option works really well.
Double move always works well.
Kelsey running a double move.
Yeah.
And that's another thing we've got to get into, too, is Kelsey.
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
You want to do that now?
Sure.
Yeah, we're on the game.
We have enough stuff to talk about the Chiefs later on.
So we might as well go into this right now.
OK.
Kelsey, at first I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He's a decoy.
Get used to it.
This is going to be like this till the postseason.
Yep.
It was kind of like this last year.
But this year, I don't know, he doesn't look happy.
You know, that's exactly what I was going to mention is that we've been talking about his lack of use as being he's not showing his hand.
As you said, decoy.
I don't think Travis Kelsey is the player he was last year, whether it's physical or mental or both.
Yeah.
Think of all the times he was, I mean, he was the big red zone weapon.
I mean, you get down to the red zone, you're going to throw to Kelsey.
And he was getting like double digit touchdowns.
They don't they don't even look at him in the end zone in the red zone anymore.
I know, which is a problem because it does get open occasionally.
I think that it's in Mahomes mindset now that he's not going to be open either, which is a big problem.
Here is something that I want you to think about.
OK, Jason Kelsey retired.
He is everywhere.
He's like one of the most loved sports figures.
He does commercials.
He's in the booth.
Everybody loves him.
I mean, he's like that big hairy guy, lovable guy that you go up and you give him a nipple tweak and give him a hug.
You know, he's like this big, lovable, cool guy.
You think maybe Travis is looking at, you know, that looks like a fun life than just hanging out with Taylor.
Absolutely.
I would say, yeah, that he's he's watching his brother feel good when he gets up every day and love his life.
Yeah. Do whatever he wants, whenever he wants.
No schedules.
He's his own man.
That's got to be exciting.
And Taylor seems really spitting with him.
They're both spitting with each other.
They look like they're a very good couple.
So how much is Taylor, you think?
I don't want you in a wheelchair, hon.
You know, I know you love playing, but we don't need you hurt.
I think a minor part of it, something worth consideration, is the friction between Brittany Mahomes and her political views.
Evidently, there's a lot there.
The rest of the three.
I mean, they were they were two couples that were really compatible.
But now Brittany is dividing herself off.
You know, you know, Taylor Swift is not going to go anywhere near Trumper.
Yeah. And Kelsey's going to stick with Taylor.
And now Mahomes is torn between his wife and his teammate that he loves.
It's got to be stressful for Mahomes.
I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is.
And also another baby on the way, too.
Yeah.
So it might affect how often he looks at Kelsey or how he feels about Kelsey.
You know, maybe like one pass and a game kind of effect.
But that could be enough.
That could be enough because of the respect factor.
If you think he's completely full of shit and off base, how much respect can you give the guy?
And then vice versa, too.
I'm starting to look at tight ends and who might be Kelsey's replacement.
You know, Noah Gray was looking good.
Watson looks pretty good, too.
Yeah, he does.
I don't know about the lack of seeing them.
What are they doing? Are they blocking more? I guess.
Noah Gray has been used a lot as a blocking tight end.
Yeah.
But he is seeing a lot more action in the passing game.
Yes.
He caught at least one really good crucial pass.
I remember just off the top of my head on Sunday.
So Noah Gray is definitely being put in to pick up some of the slack that Kelsey is not doing anymore.
And that tells me it's not a decoy. It's that Kelsey is not doing it.
Yeah. Another thing, too, is what you just said.
You don't see them two hanging out, you know.
You know, they used to always be sitting there palling around and going, hey, you know,
this is odd because it looks to me like what's happening in America,
a portrait of what's happening nationally.
Very divisive.
Title lines being drawn, families being...
It's like they talked about in the Civil War, split families apart because of the political divisiveness.
Yeah.
It's kind of like that.
It really is.
Yeah.
It really is.
Picture a scene at the Mahomes house.
Travis and Taylor and Brittany and Patrick are hanging out.
They're partying and the discussion turns political and then they all start arguing.
Then people start yelling.
Feelings get hurt.
People get thrown out.
You know?
Yeah.
It may be that, you know, that dream couple, you know, couple of couples that we had for a while.
They just got on each other's nerves too much over this issue.
And maybe it's done for them.
Well, and also an overly preachy person will get to you too.
Yeah.
And we don't know if there's some of that going on too.
It could be either side.
Sometimes you think you're doing somebody a favor by trying to clue them in.
And all you're doing is pissing the other person off because I've been a victim of that a few times.
And it's like, you know, I'm over mid-50s.
I know what I feel.
Leave me the fuck alone.
It's like the stereotype of the pushy vegan who, you know, flags down the ice cream truck just to tell him that she's a vegan.
You know, there are a few like that.
I can't do this.
But they're not all.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
And those ones are the ones that annoy everybody.
I mean, the dynamic is weird because you can tell there's something different.
And also, you know, they're really kind of actively campaigning for the opposite side.
So I'm sure that doesn't help either.
So anyhow, I know one thing.
Butker is incredible.
Butker might be our best player.
He's making case for being MVP so far, isn't he?
He should have been last year, honestly.
That one missed point, missed extra point on Sunday.
I wasn't worried about that.
I wasn't either.
It's like he's so reliable.
It's so good.
Give him that.
You got to give him one to miss every now and then.
He's just going to miss one because nobody is perfect.
But the thing is, I mean, he deserves MVP.
So glad he's the chief.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Did they get him off the practice squad?
Philadelphia's practice squad, I think.
What is it?
Santos went down?
Yeah, that's right.
And then they're like, go ahead and let Santos go.
Yeah, we've had a few, you know, kind of found kickers.
It was Ryan Sucup before that.
He was the very last player picked in the draft.
And I remember, as an arrowhead, he gets so much shit.
He got so much shit.
Sucup, get it.
I mean, it was just like, hey, Sucup.
But he was so dang good.
Yeah, Sucup was a great one.
But, oh, he got ridiculed by certain people there because I heard him doing it.
Yeah, we went from Sucup to Butkirk.
How are you doing?
Can you guys hear me?
Sorry, I don't mean to disturb you.
No, no, no problem.
No, no, no.
I'm just trying to see why you guys are trying to make a radio broadcast.
We're really struggling trying to see you.
Hey, we come down here because we want the background noise.
Yeah, yeah, we want people talking.
Nobody has to be quiet on our account.
I'm just trying to get you something.
I'm just trying to see if somebody has an album of something.
Oh, what, like monetary or something?
Is that what you're saying?
I'm just trying to see if somebody has an album of something.
Oh, man, we just ate our snacks.
I'm sorry.
Dang it.
I'm just trying to figure out what you're trying to get.
I really don't have anything.
I don't have anything either.
Yeah, all I got is plastic.
Yeah, that's all I got, too.
Sorry, I can't help you out.
If I had a couple bucks, you would get it.
All right, thank you.
I thought you wanted to sit down and join in the podcast.
Yeah, I did, too.
I never carry cash anymore.
No, and we shouldn't do that because every time you do an electronic transaction, it's
tracked.
Yes, and also they charge you.
And when you do a cash transaction, maybe it's not tracked.
That's true, and also they charge you.
Yeah.
You don't see it, but it's in there.
Okay, what were we having?
Okay, Bucker.
We're still Bucker, yeah.
Okay, Kelsey, I think that it's part him getting older, part Taylor probably nagging him a little
bit.
Look, man, she loves the guy, obviously.
And look, out of love, you're going to say, hey, you know what?
I don't want you being crippled to where when we have our first child, you can't carry him
around the yard.
Good point, yeah.
Yes.
And when you're on your own or even in a relationship that's not necessarily fully committed, you
don't really think about a lot of these things.
No, but now he's thinking about it.
And I think that he's kind of torn between it.
Also a little bit about his brother Jason.
His brother Jason is having the time of his life.
Yeah.
He doesn't need football.
Yep.
The other day it was either Jason Kelsey or Travis Kelsey was in a movie trailer.
I think it was Travis.
I think it was Travis, yeah.
So he's exploring what's out there besides football and what's going to be potentially
there for him after football.
He's already been doing that.
He's a natural on the stage.
He's a natural.
Yeah.
So I mean, what can you do?
The guy's excellent.
I sincerely think if the Chiefs can get all the way through in three-peat, why wouldn't
he retire?
He'll retire.
Yeah.
And I wouldn't blame him.
No, I wouldn't either.
Go out on the very top.
But I'm also thinking this right now.
Kelsey is great as he is.
You might have to start thinking about realigning the offense a little bit too.
Yeah, I agree.
If these could continue to be a non-factor, how can you leave them in?
These teams are gunning for us.
They are gunning for us.
Yeah.
And there were a few personal foul-eight hits on Mahomes.
Again.
Yeah.
Past rushers are trying to hit Mahomes as hard as they legally can.
Yeah, they are.
To knock him out of the game.
I've always said this, and a lot of people argue with it, but as soon as that happens,
and it might lose you a game, but you get the point.
You get their quarterback and destroy him, and then you get up and you look at him and
go, it's going to happen again if it happens again.
Yeah.
And you walk off.
And then their quarterback is going to come and go, don't fucking hit that guy.
Yeah.
That's how you stop that.
You do an eye for an eye, and they'll fucking think different about that.
Yeah, baseball does it.
Yeah.
You know, if the pitcher beans a player, the other team is going to beam one, and the refs,
I mean, the officials let it go, the umpires, whatever.
There are some fantastic fights that start from that, too.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Every time Nolan Ryan fucking just beat the shit out of, I don't know, what was his name,
Ventura Robin, what was it, Robin Ventura?
Something like that, yeah.
Yeah.
Beat the hell out of him.
The old man, he threw one at him, and he'd come out there and thought he was going to
beat the old man up, and the old man just beat the shit out of him.
Yeah.
Old man had his Wheaties that day.
Yeah, the old man was like, come on, bring it, bitch.
So, all right.
So, we'll see what happens.
The story is still being written over the Chiefs.
I mean, for all we know, Travis Kelsey could all of a sudden have a 200-yard game.
Yeah, yeah.
Each passing week, though, the idea that he's going to break out and have a hot season is
getting slimmer and slimmer.
Slimmer and slimmer.
We might have to look at it, okay, he's not going to be a thousand-yard receiver.
I mean, last year, he was super close.
I think this year, he's probably going to be about 800.
Last year, he would have been.
Yeah.
But his selflessness, I have to give him a lot.
I mean, I give him all the credit in the world.
He's the greatest, I think, tight end, even better than Tony Gonzalez or Gronkowski.
Yeah.
I think he's the greatest ever.
But, I mean, there's only so far that you can take that and where you have to realize
it like certain factors and you're going to have to let it go sooner or later.
Yeah, yeah.
You can have all the desire and passion and drive, but if your body physically isn't capable
of it anymore, you've got to either make it capable or accept that it's not and work within
those limitations.
The thing that I see, though, that may argue against what we're saying here is I do see
him open.
Yeah.
So I don't think it's all him not getting open.
Yeah, that's where the other part comes into effect, that maybe Patrick is not necessarily
looking his way as much as he used to.
And that could be a combination of how he feels about his political views and his friendship
and everything.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
You know, whenever I think lesser of a person, I tend to not conversate with him and be as
friendly with him.
You can't help it, you know.
So.
It's a natural response, yeah.
It is.
So.
Yeah, I'm.
You're going to have to start looking at life after Travis, anyhow.
Yeah, true.
Like you, I'm no longer looking at Travis as a decoy or they're hiding their game plan
or what.
This is what Travis is now.
Tyreek's on his last season.
I would say so.
Yeah, yeah.
So have him come be our tight end.
He could probably do it, honestly.
In the passing part, but I don't think I don't know about the blocking.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, he would not.
He gets blown up at the line as we could clearly see in that last playoff game.
Yes.
That per guy.
And he was so mad, but he couldn't really fight either because the guy would have kicked
his ass.
What's his name?
Shit, who was blowing him up?
Was it Snead, McDuffie?
I think it might have been McDuffie.
McDuffie is blowing him up.
They probably put Snead on Waddle.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did.
So anyhow.
Yeah, he was getting panced at the line, so I guess he's not the answer either.
I think the answer is probably the draft.
True, yeah.
And a nice free agent for the meantime.
Yes, yep.
So I wonder if Cronk will come out of retirement.
No, I'm joking.
No, no, no, no.
I think he's beyond at this point.
Yeah, and good.
Anyhow, all right, let's go from that.
All right, so both got that.
And next up on our list is New England at the New York Jets.
Actual score was New England 24 to 3.
No, I'm sorry, I got that backwards.
It was the Jets 24 to 3.
Oh, I didn't know you said New England.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got it backwards, so I should have written 3 to 24.
Old man Aaron looked good.
He did, he did.
He was sharp.
So we both got that correct.
We both picked the Jets over the Patriots.
I had 21-17, you had 24-13.
So you're pretty close.
You weren't very far off either, so all right, another success.
Yeah.
So that's cool.
Yeah.
New England only scoring three points.
Hey, you want to say anything?
We're talking sports.
You got anything you want to say?
Don't sound crazy, but go Steelers.
OK.
They're doing well.
Yeah, they're doing really good.
Justin Fields looks like he's getting it.
I don't think we're up to anything.
Yeah, I think Russell's going to have our time getting the spot back.
Yeah, I don't think he's getting it.
Yeah, I mean something happened to Russell Wilson somewhere along the way.
Was it too many knee injuries or something?
He keeps getting injured.
Yeah, he keeps getting injured.
I don't think he can do it anymore.
Yeah, he's getting older.
Yeah, what is he, 37 maybe or something like that?
He's up in his 30s, so yeah.
And no, Justin Fields had all the talent in the whole world.
He just went to the
graveyard of the quarterbacks, and that is Chicago.
Look at Caleb Williams right now.
Yeah, he's another skeleton.
I mean, yeah, I would love to personally see Justin Fields do good because he's a good
guy.
I mean, I'd like to see him do well.
So, anyhow, we'll see what happens, man.
What are they?
Are they 3-0 now?
Nice.
Mike Tomlin, he'll get the most out of anybody.
He will.
Yeah.
Great coach.
He's not as sentimental as some about, oh, well, he had the starting job.
Let's bring him back.
Schottenheimer was bad about that.
Yeah, Tomlin's more analytical about it, kind of like, well, this isn't quite working.
We love the guy, but we just can't use him anymore.
Some of his defensive schemes are really brilliant.
I mean, he really, he gets credit, but I don't feel he gets enough credit.
I agree.
He's that one guy away from being in the Super Bowl perennial like he was before.
Just the fact that he's lasted in the league this long with the same team shows you how
good he is.
Rarely.
Nobody lasts that long anymore.
Has he ever had a losing record?
That's what I thought.
First Ballot Hall of Fame, he's got to be.
Yeah, oh, yeah, without a doubt.
Yeah, all those rings, he's got to be.
Yeah.
So, hey, Al, did you want to say anything else?
All right, man.
Hey.
Appreciate you stopping by.
All right, take care.
You know, we've got the Steelers-Chargers game coming up a little down, a little farther
down the list, which is going to be fun to talk about because we play the Chargers next.
Yes.
Yeah.
So, I wasn't able to watch the Jets and Patriots game, but from what I've saw on Reef on highlights
and things.
I saw it.
Aaron Rodgers looked very, very sharp, very clear.
He was commanding out there.
The people listened to him.
Yeah.
It was completely different, but I have a question coming up, and it's my first question
on our bullet points.
Okay.
Him and Salah got into a little scuffle, and we'll talk about that later.
It was pretty heated.
Will that play later on or not?
Because Salah does not seem like the type of guy that buckles.
Yeah, I agree.
I don't think the head coach is going to have the final say in that.
If Rodgers continues to play well and lead the team in success, the head coach is going
to have to swallow it.
I think so.
Just like when Brady wanted something, I mean Belichick may have been a commanding figure,
but at the end of the day.
Brady got what he wanted.
Yeah.
So, all right.
We'll go more into that later.
Okay.
All right.
Next one.
Next up, we have the Giants at Cleveland.
The Giants won 21 to 15, and we both got that wrong.
Yep.
I had the Giants winning, I don't know, I had Cleveland winning 20 to 10, and you had
Cleveland winning 28 to 6.
See, I thought the Giants were flatliners.
I still think they are, but not as bad as we thought.
Their quarterback came to life.
Yeah.
The Giants quarterback came to life and started being an actual quarterback.
Yeah.
Daniel Jones.
Yeah.
Okay.
Daniel Jones is a perfect, to me, the perfect inconsistent quarterback.
He's a guy that can win a game for you or lose a game for you, all on the same finger.
I mean, he just, he's never been that guy to go, all right, team, jump on my back.
Yeah.
That was a term I remember hearing in the past, is he's inconsistent, you never know
which one player is going to show up for game day.
Yeah.
You know, and one of the things is he can't handle certain expensive schemes, he doesn't
know how to.
Part of that's the rush.
If you hurry him, he's horrible.
Yeah.
If he has time, well, it's like at with most quarterbacks, but he's a little bit more
political.
He jumps right to the bad decision.
Yeah.
He's right there just doing the dumbest thing he could.
Yeah.
Where a seasoned quarterback, a winning quarterback like Mahomes would be like, you know what,
this would be a good time to scramble.
Some of those things that we see Mahomes do aren't really pump fakes, they're him changing
his mind.
Yes.
At the last second.
Yeah.
He's like, uh-uh, no, no, uh-uh.
He's really good at making the quick decisions right there on the spot.
Yeah.
And the thing is, I mean, we'll talk about this with Mahomes' magic now.
He's not afraid to throw an interception anymore.
I can see that.
Yeah.
He doesn't care.
He has so much trust.
You know what, look, we'll go into this later.
Okay.
We like jumping ahead.
Yeah, we do.
So yeah, Giants are inconsistent.
Cleveland looks like they're still really struggling.
I mean, they can't really seem to get stuff going.
We went into this, the podcast before, not last one, but the one before.
Okay.
Watson has to be a leader.
He's not doing it.
He's not, I don't know.
He's not the guy that can come out anymore.
Like I said, I think there's another allegation that's even worse coming up, I believe.
I'll have to look it up, but I heard another little whisper about it the other day.
I think it's on some sort of talk radio.
This stuff isn't over, I don't believe.
And like you said, if you have something weighing on your mind like that and you don't know
what's going to happen, I don't know how well you can play.
And you know, the impression I get is I think his teammates were ready to get on board as
him being the leader, but then this comes up and they're all like, oh, not again.
And they're just tired of it.
Another example is, look, when Joe Flacco came in last year and led the Cleveland Browns
well into the playoffs.
That speaks volumes, the team looked better under Joey Flacco than they did under Deshaun
Watson.
Now, what does that say?
They liked playing for him better.
Let me put it like this, Mahomes goes out and we have Joe Flacco, okay?
Joe Flacco comes in.
You think that team's playing the same?
No.
That team's not winning the Super Bowl or even going far in the playoffs.
So that right there shows you that they don't really respect Watson somehow, some way, for
whatever reason.
Maybe it's all the allegations or maybe he's just not that good at leading.
I mean, if you really want to get into it, it really started when they were leading 24
to nothing in 2019 divisional against the Chiefs at Arrowhead.
They're leading 24 to nothing and we systematically destroyed them.
And he had some good passes after that, but he was really shaken.
Chiefs do that to quarterbacks.
We destroyed Ryan Leaf, we destroyed Todd Marinovich.
Of course, both those guys were very fragile.
They were very fragile, yeah.
Ryan Leaf, yeah.
Well, yeah, Marinovich was...
Both of them were...
No, one of them was on meth and one of them got on heroin.
Leaf was on meth and Marinovich was eventually on heroin.
I thought Leaf was mostly on alcohol, but the meth makes more sense.
I think he did go into meth briefly, but now he's better.
I don't know about Marinovich.
Yeah, Ryan Leaf has definitely turned his life around and now he gives motivational
speeches and things to athletes.
Todd Marinovich kind of looked like, what, me worry?
Yeah.
Red hair guy, he really was kind of a...
He looked like he could be Dave Mustaine's love child.
Yeah.
Dave Mustaine with Jodie Foster.
There, that's it.
Wow, you nailed it.
Yeah.
At least you didn't say Rosie O'Donnell.
Oh, no, no.
He was too small.
Yeah, he wasn't a...
Yeah, mania.
He wasn't a huge guy.
Off topic, but have you gotten a chance to look up the Rosie O'Donnell variety show that
had one episode?
No.
It was called Rosie Live.
They gave her her own song and dance variety show.
It's gotta be a winner.
Oh my God, it was so horrible.
It's like every...
It's on YouTube?
Yeah, it's on YouTube.
About 18 minutes of it.
It's like every worn out, tired cliche variety shows from the 50s and 60s.
It was just absolutely nothing new, ridiculous staging, ridiculous flat jokes, just awful.
I'll have to watch this one show.
It was painful.
So the cool thing is, I'm not gonna waste very much time watching the abortion.
Yeah.
I don't know if you know.
It's like the Star Wars holiday special.
Oh, God.
Chewbacca's mom, Chewbacca's wife, Chewbacca's kids.
It's like, what the fuck?
No, no, no, no.
It's just so bad.
George Lucas spent millions trying to track down every copy so he could destroy it.
He missed a few.
Yeah.
Was it Art Carney, the special guest?
Oh, God.
It was like the who's who has beens in Hollywood.
Or was it the mod lady?
Bea Arthur was in it?
Yeah, Bea Arthur.
And I think maybe Art Carney was in it.
Anytime you gotta get those two, it's done.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
It was like the, not even the B list, it was like the C list of washed up Hollywood celebrities.
See Art Carney coming in going, oh boy, hey, what do we got here, man?
Looks like a ball of fun.
Oh, ho, ho.
Hey.
Playing the same character he's always played.
Yeah.
I'm Art Carney.
Ho, ho, ho.
Okay, anyhow.
Let's.
All right.
Moving along back to football.
Yeah, yeah.
Look it up.
You know what?
You have eight questions.
Look it up.
Rosie O'Donnell, what was it?
Rosie Live.
There you go.
Rosie Live.
If you ever want a good laugh.
Yeah.
There you go.
All right.
Up next, Chicago at Indianapolis.
Indy won 21 to 16.
And we both picked Indy.
I was 17-14 and you were 24-17.
You're really close.
I have a pretty good grasp on each team, I do believe.
Yeah.
Chicago, like I thought.
Remember we were talking.
If Caleb Williams comes out to a good start, he's going to do well.
The problem is he did good by winning, but it wasn't by him necessarily.
Yeah.
He had what?
100 yards, 70 yards.
Just a little under 100 yards on their first win.
Yeah.
So that isn't a very successful start.
Yeah.
He's had more interceptions than touchdowns.
He looks slow.
He looks like he doesn't know what's going on.
The graveyard quarterback strikes again.
Yeah.
I mean, you know the Cubs' goat thing?
I think there's something going on with the Bears.
No.
Yeah.
I can see it spilling over.
I'd be curious to know what the Chicago sports media is doing with all this, how they're
treating him, how they're talking about him.
Oh, they're brutal.
I know.
They're brutal.
The players really shouldn't be listening to sports media and sports talk shows because
it's part of the entertainment thing and people say what they don't mean to be entertaining.
I'm going to go on and I'm going to declare this the Robin Ventura curse.
No.
Ever since Bill Ryan beat his ass on the mound, things have went south for the...
I know one's baseball and one's football.
Yeah.
But I say that ever since Ventura got his ass kicked when he was waving his fists around
by an old man, I think that's what made the Chicago Bears go under.
The sports community of Chicago was...
Yes.
...was damaged.
Damaged.
But players are not supposed to listen to the sports media, but at the same time, they
have to participate in sports media.
He knows, I'm sure he knows what's being said.
I hope he can shrug it off and not let it borrow him.
I really hope Caleb Williams can be out.
I would love to see him be something.
I'd love to be the quarterback that everyone wants him to be, but I just don't think Chicago's
the place that's going to happen.
I think always we kind of miss the one that's going to hit like Jaden Daniels or something.
Yeah.
We kind of overlook him.
I didn't know anything about it.
We tend to look at the schools sometimes.
I mean look at Mahomes, Texas Tech.
Who cares?
Don't look at that guy.
It's horrible, which it is, but it doesn't matter.
Okay, Indy Richardson shows me glimpses of a really good quarterback.
He shows me glimpses of a really bad quarterback.
It's one of those deals where if he gets a proper coach, I think he can be pretty good.
Yeah.
If he's unlucky enough to get on a bad streak, that could really shake his confidence.
Yeah.
You're set that critical moment where he's got to start getting some air behind him.
Otherwise, he's going to end up in Indy like everyone has after Luck, Andrew Luck.
After Andrew Luck had all of his insides destroyed and quit.
Robert Set couldn't win there, so he's gone.
No.
He beat us.
Yeah.
But that was it.
Yeah.
It's going to be interesting to watch the development of Indianapolis' quarterback.
Some of it's within the control of the team, and some of it really isn't.
Some of it isn't, yeah.
I mean look, I think they have a pretty brutal schedule too as a problem.
It's hard to get good on these good teams.
Let's put the Chiefs against them with Chris Jones and Carl Loftus and McDuffy and everybody
that... Chanel and all these guys that we have.
Bolton.
How well would he do against that?
He would just get his ass handed on a plate and go, here's your ass.
Yeah.
Maybe Mahomes created an unrealistic expectation in a lot of head coaches' minds thinking,
hey, we can just rush this guy right in.
Mahomes only sat for a year.
He probably could have come in his first year.
A friend of mine at work said that.
He said the problem with quarterbacks today is Mahomes.
Everybody thinks that, okay, we're going to put this guy right in after a year of two
to leach.
Yeah.
Not everybody's Mahomes, obviously.
It's like having a famous parent and having to live up to that.
Yeah.
It sucks.
It's like, I'm me, I'm not him.
The thing is this right here with Mahomes, you have the IQ as high as his arm strength.
That's lethal.
You can tell Patrick spent a crap load of time playing Madden football and explored
absolutely every little option you could do in the game.
He said not too long ago again, he said, I thought I was going to be in baseball.
Yeah.
He might have been a damn good pitcher.
He probably would have been an amazing baseball player.
Baseball would be so much more popular now because of him.
Oh yeah.
Thank goodness we have him.
He'd be doing behind the back throws.
Yep.
First base.
He's doing... You can't do a play action pitch.
That's called a balk.
Yeah.
He would do the LaRue pitch.
Hey guys, I was looking at some old footage.
Check this shit out.
You know, LaRue ruined careers.
That threw people's timing off so bad that they went into a slump after that.
I mean, I would have acted sick that day.
Who's pitching LaRue?
Oh my God, man.
I think I ate something bad.
My appendix is bad.
You had it taken out last year.
It grew back.
I don't care.
I ain't pitching.
I mean, I ain't playing basketball.
Oh my God.
We are ADD today, aren't we?
We're all over the damn place.
Okay.
We probably need more coffee.
Yeah, we do.
I need a three shot instead of a two shotter.
Oh my God.
Okay.
So we covered Indy and Chicago pretty well.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, Caleb Williams, I mean, I think he's going to end up another skeleton the way it
looks.
Man, I hope not.
I hope not either.
Until he gets traded away.
Same with that guy in Carolina.
Yeah, the guy in Carolina needs a new team.
Yes.
Bryce Adams.
Oh yeah, yeah.
We're going to go into him.
He's best.
All bad.
Yeah.
Anyhow, go ahead.
All right.
Our next game is Houston at Minnesota.
And we both missed that one.
Total score was Minnesota 34 to seven.
Real spanking.
Uh huh.
They are.
We both picked Houston.
I was 27-22.
You were 21-20.
Okay.
When I thought teams were going to catch up with...
CJ.
CJ Stroud.
Yeah.
When I thought they were going to catch up with him, I thought it was going to be a little
bit more subtle than this.
Yeah.
It was like opening the door and the locomotive comes in.
Yeah.
Now I know Mixon's been injured.
I don't think he played, did he?
Uh, very little.
Very little.
Okay.
Not all that effectively.
That's going to hurt, but they didn't have him last year either.
True.
Yes to Von Diggs.
Where was he?
Yeah.
Why aren't I hearing about all of his yards and touchdowns?
Yeah.
Caleb Williams is very pedestrian this year, if not under average.
CJ.
Yeah.
He said Caleb.
Oh, Caleb.
We were just talking about Caleb Williams.
Oh, okay.
CJ.
Sorry.
I didn't think they were going to catch up like this, but it still remained to be seen.
He could catch fire.
He could do better, but right now the preliminaries don't look good for his second season.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's allowed, but if he and Mahomes could get together and Mahomes could
help him with his confidence and his like.
I don't think that way.
I don't think the Chiefs will let that happen.
Yeah.
I don't think that's really allowed because they're competitors during the season, but
that kind of thing would, you know, maybe in the off season.
It could be.
He did work out with the guy from San Francisco that went to Dallas.
The quarterback?
Yeah, the quarterback.
San Francisco and Dallas.
Yeah.
He was a backup, but they tried him for a little bit and he sucked.
I'm blanking on that.
Hang on.
Not Trent.
How long ago are we talking?
10, 20 years?
No, no, no.
Reason?
Yeah.
Two years ago.
Oh, okay.
Niners have had Garoppolo.
They've had Purdy.
They've had.
The guy in between there.
Yeah.
I know there's a guy in between there, but I can't.
Dallas quarterbacks.
Trey Lance.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Their number one pick.
Yeah.
Why would I remember?
Mahomes worked out with him, but it didn't seem to help.
Oh my gosh.
That poor guy.
And it's weird.
They got Trey Lance, but then they paid Dak Park.
Yeah.
They paid Dak Park.
Yeah.
They paid Dak Park.
Yeah.
They paid Dak Park.
Yeah.
They paid Dak Park.
Yeah.
They paid Dak Park.
Yeah.
And they paid Dak Prescott.
All that money?
Yeah.
I don't get it.
I mean, Trey Lance must not have shown them one thing.
Mm-hmm.
Any of some guys just don't transfer from college to the NFL, and no matter what you
do, they just, they don't make it.
I don't even know if Andy Reed could turn Trey Lance around.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Who's another good quarterback mentor?
Well, Belichick, but he cheats.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, her Medwards was pretty good her Medwards was good
I know different meal was pretty good with a quarterback home grin home grin. Yeah
Bill Walsh, I mean home the washes away and home grin is retired. Yeah. Oh
Coriel yeah, Dan Coriel Dan Coriel. Yeah, yeah air Coriel was what they called the Chargers back then
Yeah, just flinging it all over the place in that where the West Coast offense started. Yes under Eric Coriel
It wasn't called that yet. No, yeah
Don Coriel Don Coriel. It was Dan Fouts and Don Coriel. Yeah, got a little bit of both of them. Yeah
Yeah, oh man that that made it tough to play the Chargers it did but they still did not win a Super Bowl
They didn't they made it to the playoffs few times and no went went far but they were they were
See they played the Bengals in that
Coldest windchill game ever in yeah, yeah to 82 59 below windchill 59 below
Yeah, that was a brutal day. I mean even in Kansas City. It was brutally cold. What was it?
I think it reached here the windchill 38 below. Yeah, I think the high that day was like 10 below
Yeah, we didn't even get we got 20
Degree off of that. Yeah, so I wonder how many people got frostbite there in Los Angeles
Yeah
So we got a far field there, yeah, so alright I guess we can go on for that one. All right, but
CJ Stroud needs to
Hit a reset
I think I think they need to get back with him and start trying to get him straightened out immediately
That's all there is to it
All right. Next we have
It's another one. We both missed
Philadelphia at New Orleans
Yeah
Actual score was 15 to 12, you know, it was it was three to nothing into the third quarter
I know I saw that game nuts. Yeah, it was like a miserable game
Defenses just suddenly showed up and the offenses couldn't couldn't do
That is so weird because the offense didn't look anything
I'm talking about New Orleans. They're scoring 40 plus points again so far
But let me go back to this isn't that dirt car isn't that his signature?
Yeah, great game looked like best quarterback ever than nothing flat-line
Huh that would indicate to me that you would have to have a formula to beat him and execute it. Yeah
So he has flaws in this game obviously and they they definitely exploited it
so I
Think New Orleans is gonna be good much better than we thought but yeah, I think this is their hiccup
Yes more than a trend being more than a
They're still gonna be well, but I mean, I think there's gonna be they're gonna hit that middle ground where they're a good team
They'll probably make the playoffs but after that
You know, yeah. Yeah things get really intense in the playoffs and every weakness gets exposed
Yeah, and that's dirt cars signature
He's yeah, so I mean he's kind of like Garoppolo and that one and that's why I never understood why the Raiders did that
Let Derek Carr go and keep Garoppolo
Or sign Garoppolo. Yeah, that made no sense to me at all. But anyhow, yeah
Okay, all right our next game is the Chargers at Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh won 20 to 10
I
Pick Pittsburgh's 27 14 you pick the Chargers 21 17. Well, I was wrong
but you know
The Chargers are I hate to say it Chargers are getting better. They are and each each week Jim Jim Harbaugh
Yeah, Jim Harbaugh
Has got a better grasp on the team and they're responding better and he's he's building a juggernaut
Yeah, he is and it's scary. Well, the thing is is he's not asking Herbert to do anything
Really? He's just kind of like just keep playing. I got this thing figured out here, you know
We're not gonna win every game, but we're going somewhere. Yeah, and he's getting Herbert to believe in it
And he's getting the rest of the team to believe in it
He's lacking talent in every position about except for her back and and I think
The team is ready to believe in buying in on something
Yeah, because they've been shifted with so many different
So many different head coaches here recently and ones that really didn't know what they were doing
There were probably changes to the offense week to week because they were struggling
Here's a guy that went to the Super Bowl
He didn't win it, but he went to the Super Bowl with Kaepernick and Alex Smith
So that would indicate that this guy makes a team rise above what they could
Probably actually do true. So when he comes in there and also what he did in Michigan
He might have cheated a little bit. I know
But but there's this as soon as he came in it commanded respect
It wasn't some unknown. Oh, this is offensive coordinator from Arizona
You know, it's not that type of deal
It's like this guy would proven track record in both college and in a football team
college and NFL
So when he came in I imagine every player turned their head and said oh they weren't like
Yeah, yeah
You taste they're taking things more seriously. Yeah
Spanos still on the team. I
Think so. That's the last last owner. I remember is Alex Spanos. Okay, I think Spanos was like, you know what?
I got to do something right this time and that's it. And that's what he did. He looked over there and said, oh
Oh, Jim Harbaugh is in a lot of shit. He's looking at the NFL and I think he made that call
Yeah, he said I'm gonna bring this guy back to NFL and he's gonna help us out and he is yeah
So they're a work in progress
They're not where they need to be but they're gonna win some games. You don't expect them to win true true
They're gonna get dangerous in the hurry. Yeah, they're doing it with small ball
Fundamentals doing everything the best you can. Yeah
And it's a thing for owners. It seems like as they get older and their time owning the football team is getting
Shorter and shorter. It's like damn it. Let's make a push. So I want to win something. I want to win the championship
I don't know it feels like yeah, and during the Mahomes era
It can either discourage you and say yeah, I'm never gonna do it or it can be hell
Yeah, we can beat Mahomes in the playoffs and then when the Super Bowl will be remembered forever
Yeah, so that would be a motivation for aging owners to go for broke and
Spend whatever they need to spend to make it happen. Yeah, and spandos maybe or whoever owns the team may be in that position
It's still Alex Panos. I would think so. Yeah anyhow
All right next one
It looks like we both got this one wrong
It doesn't surprise me Denver at Tampa Bay
Mayfield I thought they had him back on track. Yeah, it didn't seem like it
the actual score was 26 to 7 and
I had it
Tampa Bay 27 to 6 so I have it at backwards you had Tampa Bay 30 to 10
Okay, well we knew bone X was gonna have a good game. No we didn't we didn't yeah weird
This is golfing
Yeah, she
Put her spirit in a couple of guys bodies, yeah, they are yelling at the wall you see that
Are yeah very angry at that wall. Yeah. Yes. Well that wall obviously is a dirty wall. It gets yelled at all the time
Yeah, miss Goldstein hated that wall
Well probably has a evil spirit. Oh, I probably got a mobster buried in it. Oh, it does. Yeah
Or a snitch a snitch
We are sitting here and hit mob central
Central what used to be?
Hell it probably still lives who knows. Yeah, I want to find somewhere where Carlos Avella sat fart on it
Well, that was one of the beauties of the city market is they never could get surveillance on it because they switched where they sat
Every time they just change
Like hey, let's sit down there this time. Yeah, and feds like oh
Then they come in and move their microphones around next day. They're like over there. Yeah, let's sit right next to this noisy machine
But they didn't know that everybody and everyone these stores was watching
Yeah, so anyhow, yeah, they had a system
So looks like Denver got a got a good win there, I don't know if they're gonna build on it
Somewhat. Yeah, I mean they don't have all the components obviously and they're gonna run into really good teams and they're gonna get their ass kicked in
And some of them they are not Tampa Bay. It looks like they have a lot of work to do. So we'll see yeah, and you
Know Nix comes out of Oregon, which kind of runs a pro style offense anyway. Yeah, they do so you figure he's not a slouch
Yeah, no, no, no, I think Bo Nix is gonna have a decent season. Yeah. Yeah
He's not gonna turn into a scrub by any means. I think it would be 14 or 15 on everything
Yeah, yeah
Anyhow, all right next up we have Green Bay at Tennessee
Actually score was Green Bay 30 to 14
I picked Green Bay 2010 you picked Green Bay 21 10
Malik looks great. He does
You're gonna have I mean if he does another game like this if loves out next game
Which something tells me that loves gonna do what he can to play. Yeah
Yeah
It's starting to look important for him to get back. You're gonna have the quarterback controversy if Malik has another game like he did he ran
He ran for 70 some yards, I believe and he threw for over a couple hundred hang on
Let me see. I mean it was really surprising the talent that guy had because I didn't really know that much about him
Yeah
Green Bay's stats last game
Okay, hopefully that did it because I don't know if I worded it correctly I
Should say Green Bay against Tennessee, but I didn't
Green Bay and Tennessee game 2024 stats
Here's information from PFF, okay 30 to 14. Okay. Here's a recap
But I was adding on I was piling on okay
Let's see if I remember how to get the stats now, of course I don't
Well while you're looking at that, yeah, you know what? I'm saying I'm seeing that Tennessee is not looking all that versatile
No, their offense just can't really put up a lot of points apparently. No
I'm seeing that Tennessee is not looking all that versatile
I think there's a lot of points apparently. No
Part of it is Derek Henry's absence, but I think there's more to it than that
I think Derek Henry leaving was also kind of a sign that he didn't think that team's going anywhere
Yes, and that kind of I think that feeling is is in that locker room that
Those the radio guy said it the other day is you'll see players that start phoning in their performance or or
managing to miss a few games with
Axe-pastams or you know soreness or something like that because they just don't want to play because the season doesn't matter anymore
Yeah, as the season goes along we're gonna see teams where players to start checking out like that
It's like, you know what? I want a week off. I'm just pretend I'm sick
Yeah, you want to hear Malik?
Statton's I think it's Statton in it. No Willis
Malik will says 2024 stats and this is the game that he came in halfway and then this game
Passing yards 324. It's
Rushing touchdowns 1 passing attempts 15 completions 12
completion percentage 80 percent yards per attempt 8.1 interception 0 sacks 1
interception 0 sacks 1 sacks yards lost for his quarterback rate 122.8
Yeah, that's solid. Yeah. Now you have to see more play from him because that's not enough to take a big enough excerpt
But so far, I mean looks good so far. Yeah, it's I'm definitely getting the impression that
There he's making it easier for Green Bay to go ahead and put Jordan love on the injured reserve
Yeah, which he probably needs to be it sounds like so and it's not like the injured reserve
Where you lose the whole season? I mean it used to be that way. It used to be yeah, it wasn't before
I mean when I grew up you could put people players on injured reserve for a few weeks and bring them off
And then they started putting restrictions on that and then it started being you know, you put them on IR and that's it for the year
I'm so glad they're quitting that because you know
I have players gonna be injured for six or seven weeks you need to bring in a replacement
Yeah, you need to that roster spot, but you know that guy's coming back
So yeah, I like it that they can take players on and off injured reserve
Yeah, and that's the way it should have been all along. Yeah, because it really hindered the way they had to do business
Yeah, so anyhow, yeah, I mean that's pretty much all there is to that game Tennessee looks lost
Green Bay is doing well with their backup
Yeah
And I think they can go ahead and put love on injured reserve until until he's you know fine to come back
They don't need to hurry him back. Yeah, no, and I think that's what they needed to do. Yeah
All right next one we both blew it
Carolina at Las Vegas. Oh boy. Oh that had to suck in Raider Nation, man
They're still crying. It was 36 to 22 Carolina and it wasn't even that close. No, I
Had Carolina losing 3 to 27 you had Carolina losing 6 to 28
Man, the Raiders don't look anything like I thought they would I really thought they were gonna have a bounce back
Well, I thought they're gonna be better than that. I thought they're gonna be 9 and 8 or 8 and 9
I mean, I don't know if they're gonna be that now
They're having so much trouble Devontae Adams has got a really be questioning things right now
I look for him to be traded not to the Chiefs
No, they probably trade them trade them out of if they're gonna trade them within the AFC
It's gonna be somebody far far away. Yes. I
Think NFC they trade to the NFC. Yeah, unless they want to fuck the Chiefs and they trade them to Cincinnati or somebody
Yeah, yeah, or if they can get a better draft pick for them. Oh, maybe not Cincinnati. They're all in three
They trade them to the Ravens. Yeah
We'll go into that in a little bit. Yeah, hey trade them to Miami. They need a quarterback. Yeah. Oh
Yeah
No, we're talking about no, no, no, I mean even there if you have him on there
I mean, well, no, they already have wattle in hill and you're still not getting anything. So who needs a receiver?
AFC
Chiefs
Yeah, if we had Hollywood Brown, I think this offense would look much better
Yeah, because it was somewhat built around him when they did it, you know when they did this year
They're planning on him being in there and they kind of tailored to have more of an air offense, which isn't happening right now
Yeah, but Mahomes is off too. He admittedly is off
he says that he's not playing his best and he's gonna get it figured out and
Since it's Mahomes saying it I believe it. Yeah
It's encouraging to hear him saying I realize I can do a whole lot better and I'm going to yeah
Yes, it's encouraging and who is Carolina's backup who played? Because they took Bryce Young out
Let me see here. I remember it was Gardner Mentsch who was on the Raiders and I can't think of who it is
Is a hey, let me see you here Carolina Panthers current quarterback Andy Dalton
Yeah, Andy Dalton, you're right what they call him the red rifle the red rifle
Andy Dalton beat him. Well Andy Dalton. He's like that don't look for me. Have a good game next year
Yeah, I mean not next year next week. Yeah, he had a great game this so that's it for a couple of games. Yeah
Yeah, his tanks empty. Yes
Yeah, the red rocket. Yeah, but home get that did wonders for Carolina. Yeah
How about Bryce Young
Yeah, you know he was complaining I got I got this on our bullet points
We can go into it more Bryce Young was pissed and then the red rifle comes in and kicks off for the bass
Yeah, so it's not necessarily the system is so wrong. They're playing calling this
So saying it is indictment somewhat to Bryce Young. Yeah, it really made him look bad that he couldn't succeed
Yeah, unless Andy Dalton came in it was just like calling all his own plays or whatever
I don't think that's real. I don't think that's true. Then they have the wrong system for him. I don't know
I need to look into it more but right now the indictment on Bryce Young is not good and especially him over there moaning and groaning
Inviction. Yeah, so anyhow, let's go ahead and leave that alone. Okay, so I got that on bullet points. Alrighty up next
We have Miami at Seattle
Seattle won 24-3
I picked my Seattle 24-23 you picked Seattle 24-17
So we had Seattle score, correct, but Miami didn't score enough
No, and that's because even Skyler Thompson went out. They're on their third quarterback
So Skyler Thompson wasn't that good either. I mean he was horrible. Yeah, you got somebody worse than him
They're really good. They seriously need to trade for a good quarterback
I'm surprised. Would they be knocking on the door for a Carson Wentz? I'm surprised they're not
I'm surprised they're not. Yeah, they're probably making phone calls. I'm sure they are Joe Flacco, maybe
Yeah, he wanted to play more. Yeah, he said the right team
So, I don't know I think I do believe that they're gonna have to trade for somebody because I do believe that Tua Tagovaiola
is
Headed towards injury reserve. Yeah, he said it toward the IR. Yeah
his
His concussion they're not saying a lot there is something going on there that they don't like because they they keep hitting like well
He might be an extended on me. Yeah, there's there's such a lack of information. I mean usually they'll trot out
Oh, yeah, he's doing great. He's fine. But this time they're just saying nothing
and the neurologists involved
There's something going on because there's lack of information and now they're talking about well, you know what?
It's not gonna be available for a while
I'm thinking that what the conversation they're probably having with them is
Forget this year man. You need to quit football. Yeah, I think Mike McDaniels what he said his statement after the game very classy
I like the guy now. He was always kind of questionable about him shaky. Yeah, he said he is the quarterback of his family
Yeah, I think that says everything right there. He was like, hey cut the football shit. This guy's life is what we're talking about
Seriously, yeah, and if we're the kind of people who think he should sacrifice his life and his health to entertain us
That says a lot about us, doesn't it?
Exactly. I mean, you know, they did used to throw Christians alliance, and I'm sure that's gonna make a comeback
Yeah, I'm sure it will at some point. I wouldn't be surprised
We can start with all the Hollywood pedophiles allegedly. Oh, yeah, that would be fine. Yeah
Hey Al, go ahead
Yeah, Miami's struggling big time. They've got to fix something
They've got to fix this quick or the season's gonna be beyond salvage
The season is I mean, do you ever see them beating Buffalo? No. Oh hell no. Buffalo is just looking insane
Oh gosh
I mean I would rate them ahead of the Chiefs easily right now
Yeah, it wasn't a real happy thing to watch as a Chiefs fan
No
Yeah, Buffalo's good. Defense in, now their offense woke up
Yeah, it's like my son Jesse was saying Josh Allen is so huge, why isn't he a tight end?
Oh yeah, the problem is he can run on you anytime because he's big enough
Yeah, it's like the quarterback sneak always works for them because he's so huge
He's not like a Lamar Jackson where you're just waiting for his, I mean not waiting, you're hoping not
But you're just quietly sitting there expecting his leg to be broken
Yeah
Josh Allen looks like he could be a fullback
Yeah, he could
Starting tomorrow
He's a big guy
You're not breaking that guy's leg unless it's something extraordinary
Yeah
Anyhow
Then Seattle's starting off having an okay season
I thought they would, Geno Smith is getting a little cocky though, he's been making some statements over there
I think he was daring people to rush him, he said I dare you guys to, he said he's gonna burn him
That's such a mistake
Let me see here
Oh my gosh, people are talking about Samuel L. Jackson's intro to the Chiefs Falcons game when he was saying the team's gonna have to get hard
Everyone's like, did he just say that on TV?
And Chris Collinsworth needed to get together
Oh we didn't go into something, Carson Steele had an amazing performance, 74 yards
He fought and fought and fought and got yardage
Yeah, he's looking like a slightly faster Pacheco
Yeah, yeah and I also think this, I don't know if Kareem Hunt's gonna even make the team now
They kind of just, they laid off of that quite a bit, they brought him in but it doesn't seem like they're seeing anything there
And in the broadcast they mentioned Clyde Edwards-Helaire a few times, so that's like setting us up for him to come back
Please God no
And you know, cap wise maybe that's what makes sense
I guess so
They already owe Clyde Edwards-Helaire some cap money
Yeah that's true
So it's like, cut him and bring in Hunt, it's not really gonna be any better and just gonna cost us more
Cunt, well you, I called him Cunt, sorry I did not mean to do that
I was gonna say Clyde
That probably happens a lot
Yeah, I was gonna say Clyde and Hunt at the same time
Okay, Hunt you could probably get for, I don't know, maybe a Tesla car right now
Yeah
So hey, it's not the biggest model, it's not the best model but it's a Tesla
Are you gonna come over and play? So
It's like when Brian Johnson signed with ACDC, he said I'll be your lead singer but you gotta buy me a brand new Harley
And they did
And you know who turned that down was the guy from Procus, oh yeah, Mark Starachi
He turned that down
He would have been a decent fit
He would have been a great
You know maybe not personality wise but vocal wise he would have been a decent fit
He sounded just like, not Brian Johnson but not their first singer, the guy with bagpipes, we were just talking about him
Bon Scott
Bon Scott, yeah, he sounded more like Bon Scott than Brian Johnson
Yeah, they could have covered the material a little easier
A little easier, I don't know if he played the bagpipes but you know
You can always hire somebody
Yeah, could be, anyhow go ahead
Alright, our next game is Detroit at Arizona, Detroit won 20 to 13
I picked Detroit 22 to 15 so I was fairly close
You picked Arizona 27-20
Okay, I did not have a good day, did I?
Yeah, well I remember we were kind of high on Kyler Murray last week
Well he was looking better but he was being Kyler Murray again so
So here's Detroit going in and winning a close, tough game on the road
Well that's what they needed to do because they're kind of getting off center there
Yeah, this win was probably a pretty good forum
Yeah, I think they're fine, I was wondering about them, I think they're fine
They're kind of fine in their footing and the head coach, he is really good, I like him
He's very, I believe he's one of the better coaches out there
Yeah, very motivational
And I would think as far as Arizona goes
I think you're going to see this off and on from them
Yeah, yeah
Nothing new
And as far as this individual game, you know, it was the Lions who were really strong last season
And it was a close game so it's not like heartbreaking
Well yeah
You know, they would have loved to win, especially against the Lions
But this kind of loss I don't think is a devastating loss
No, it's not a devastating loss, it's a learning loss
Yeah
They probably made a couple of mistakes in there that cost them, I didn't get to see the game
But I can guarantee you this, it's probably like a late not getting the first down or maybe a fumble or something
It was one of those games, it's a learning game going, okay, we could have had this if we'd done this, this and this
Yeah, yeah
It's just like Atlanta could have
Little things go wrong left and right
Yeah, Atlanta could have won the game if they would have got the first down
They can look at that and go, you know what, and then there's a lot of other plays that they missed
They could have said we could have won it right here, we could have won it right here, but so could have the Chiefs
But Atlanta has something, some footing
They're like, look, we did this, this and this, if we would have done this we would have got it
So it's the same thing with Arizona, they can look back at that game and reflect and go, no, we didn't quite do it
But we did a lot of things good, but unfortunately we did enough things bad
Yeah
So
Yeah, not quite the finding a way to lose, but
No, no
Along that, you know, kind of you're down that road a little ways
Yeah, it's like almost to the top of the mountain and then all of a sudden someone comes out and like pushes you down
Yeah
Yeah, so, yeah, pretty much, yeah
I still think Detroit's going to have a good season
I think Detroit is probably going to have a really good season because like I said, I see things like the
The, was it the Green Bay game where they pushed the last overtime
They had that just drive that they just drove the ball and just punched it in and took care of it and like, I don't know
Two minutes at the most
That shows you the heart of a team like that right there
Yeah
So
Yeah
All right, next up
This was a fun one, Baltimore at Dallas
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes
Because they almost let Dallas back in
They did, yeah, when I tuned in it was Baltimore up big and then Baltimore just decided to quit playing
And Dallas came all the way back in
Yep
Which
It was interesting, I was hearing the
The guys on radio sports talk shows talking openly about the NFL script writers
Yes
And scripting the games and then they go, oh, did I, I mean, if there were, allegedly
It's like, it's so nice to hear them openly talking about the fact that games are being influenced
Yeah
And being managed
And this was a good example is Baltimore got out early and then the word came down
Let Dallas back into the game, so they did
What do you think about Tom Brady?
He did a lot better
He did
This time he kind of admitted like he's kind of a homer
Yeah
He kind of just went out there and was like, yeah, you know, yeah, I used to play and I know these guys and I love them
I kind of like that
Yeah
I kind of like that
He wasn't doing the, oh, yeah, yeah, Jimmy over there, he was kind of like going, yeah, you know what
Yeah, this guy's a really good guy, he used to work hard
Yeah
He had a little more insight than he did last time
Last time it sounded braggadocious and I think he did it wrong
Exactly
This time he was kind of like going, yeah, I know these guys here, one knows my career and one knows it
So this is what I say about this guy personally
Yeah
And I don't think there's really necessarily anything wrong with that except they need to learn to shut him up
Yes, he goes on too long still
The play's going on and he's still talking
Uh-huh
One of them needs to go and now we got third down coming up in one yard
Yeah
Or somebody put their hand up over his, you know, over his eyes, it's like get something to get his attention
They need like a signal or something to him to go, okay, shut it off
So, and I don't think he knows how to shut it off really quick and go, yeah, and now we go to the play
Or, you know, he could set it up really well if he does
Yeah, I'm hoping the play-by-play guy just starts interrupting him
He needs to
And just talking over him
Because that's what they do on every other broadcast and the guys that linger on, they go, and now we got third and one
Yeah
And then that's the other guy's cue, he doesn't take it personally, he's like, oh yeah, I guess I was lingering
In the preseason games, they do that
You just talk on and on and on, the play's run, you know, nobody cares
Yeah, because nobody cares, yeah
And Brady's handling it like it's a preseason game where it doesn't matter
Yeah, where, you know, Trent Green has a lot of insight and it's interesting to hear what he has to say
Yeah
And you don't care if they made it or not, you look, go, what'd they do? Oh, they got style? Okay, all right
But yeah, as we both said, Tom Brady had, has a lot of talent
He's gonna be great, or he couldn't be great
He has potential to be great, I think they need to
And we both knew he was gonna improve, and thank goodness he is
Yeah
I want him to do well, because I think he's got a lot to say
It's just like I thought, they need the cane
You know, how they used to do on the stage, they need the cane, go, all right, and thank you, Tom, have a great day
Just start killing his mic
Yeah, yeah, they need a mute button
All right, well, I had Baltimore 32 to 19
And you had Dallas 26-13
Boy, I sucked
Okay
It was pretty close there at the end, 28-25
Yeah, it was
But I also think there's a certain element of not going your hardest and putting the foot off the pedal, too
Yeah
I think that they're kind of a, they're afraid of losing Lamar Jackson as part of it
So I think they let their foot off the pedal
And I think they purposely, I think John Harbaugh's like, all right, now, he goes, you're not to run under any circumstances
You got that?
Yeah
Throw or nothing
Derek Henry did a pretty good job back then
Yes, he did
He ran pretty well
He looked better
And that, I think they really should let Derek Henry run ahead of Lamar Jackson
Yeah, my thing is, is, I mean, is he getting gassed? Is that it?
It kind of looked that way
Yeah
Maybe take him out every third play or something, or fourth play
They need to figure out a system that he can do and not get gassed
Because it really looked like he was losing his edge as the game went on
And he's probably been the kind of runner where you leave him in like 10, 12 plays in a row
Oh, he was such a workhorse
And he just, you know, gets his routine going, gets in the groove
I don't think he's that guy anymore
No, no, no, he's the guy that can put in third down situations or get your first down and it's good
And he'll break off one for you here and there, you know, when you really need one
But other than that, I don't think he's the guy
You need another steady runner in front of him
Yeah, someone described it the other day as the kind of offense where you, you know, you call the play
And you surge ahead and just survive to the next play
That's a good, yeah, I agree with that
And it's the kind of thing where you just, you know, well, we're making just barely enough
That if we keep going, we'll make a first down and that's all we care about
Yeah
That's a pretty easy offense to defeat and shut down
So they want to, Tennessee wants to make sure they don't get into that mindset of, you know, okay, we got three or four yards
That's good enough
It's not, sometimes you need 17 yards all at once
Sometimes that's right, yeah
So, yeah, I think there's not much else to say about that game
Dallas is spiraling towards a horrible season
Dax not looking all that great, is he?
Well, I've got this on the bullet points, but Dax leads in yardage
He, yeah, by quite a bit
He's actually, stat-wise, he's doing pretty well, I guess
Isn't that his MO?
Picking his points of where to, you know, succeed and excel
That is his MO
Great stats, can't pull it out for you
That's how come they always get stopped in the playoffs
A really good team says, all right, we know how to stop this guy
He gets the stats, but he cannot make that one throw
When you got Chris Jones' big hands in his face, he can't do it
I remember seeing that a lot over the years
The team with the most passing yards was the one who was coming back from behind and trying to win
So that quarterback would have great stats, but they still lost
So that's kind of how you look at Zach's performance so far
He's racking up the yardage, he's doing well
But it's not translating into winning games and looking good
Not at all, no, I know
They're still going to win, but they just don't look good
They don't look successful, they don't look professional
It's hard to have confidence in them, I guess
I have no confidence in there
And Jerry Jones, I've got an article about Jerry Jones
That's really interesting, that will prove that he's probably losing his marbles
I've been hearing that they've been taking responsibilities away from Mike McCarthy
I can believe that
And they've whittled down his responsibilities to basically he's a figurehead
And he's in his final year of his contract and nobody's talking about resigning or extending
So he's like the president who is finishing out his term before the new president comes in
He's the lame duck
He'll end up with the Raiders
Oh, he will
Perfect fit, that's the type of guy they go for
Yeah, if Antonio Pierce can't do it, he would wind up in the Raiders
They'll probably bring him in as an offensive or defensive coordinator just to get him on the staff
And then find a reason to push him up into the hit
Okay, I want to go and do the Jerry Jones thing
This is my bullet points, but I'm going to cross it out for you
Jerry Jones was on this Jamie Foxx deal
I think it's on the internet and they're doing a live feed
And they started going into the locker
And he was talking to Jerry Jones about the functions of everything and all that
And Jerry Jones suddenly, because he's in the locker, starts talking about
They wouldn't say the guy's name and I don't blame them
He started talking about some guy that has an 8.5 inch penis, one of their players
Okay
And Jamie Foxx had to cut the video off
So is that not losing it?
What the heck is he thinking of?
I mean, it's inappropriate on a number of levels
You're talking about somebody else and exposing personal details about him
It's also inappropriate, in fact, he's the employer
And he's taking advantage of his position as employer to spy on his employees
I mean, there's no law broken, but it's almost a hippo thing
Because I believe he was talking names, but they didn't do it on the article
He probably said the name, they just wouldn't air it
Well, it was live, it was live, and Jamie Foxx had to cut it
Gosh
Yeah, so that would indicate that, man, he needs to be taken out right now, not later
Imagine if he was talking about the nipple size of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders
Oh my God, he would have been gone
I mean, he'd sold the team already
Yeah, but somehow we're probably going to just laugh this off
The league is going to laugh it off and bury it that he's creeping on his players
Why would he even be worried about something like that?
And yeah, to be worried about it, to estimate its length
And then to bring it up in conversation because you're thinking about it so much
That's another thing too, the exact length
He didn't go, man, so-and-so's huge, he's down to his knees
He actually went specific about it
So it tells me that he had someone find out
Find out how long it is
You're right
Exactly how long it is, I want to know exactly how long it is
That's bizarre, and you know, either this is a breakdown occurring
Or this is what Jerry Jones has always been, and we're just seeing it
Yeah, yeah, and I read this on the internet, looked like from a reliable source
So if it's wrong, I apologize, but I looked it up and I found a couple of articles about it
So I do believe it's probably true, but if not, I apologize
It's like the, I've been seeing a news article about a number of celebrities
That after the P. Diddy arrest are suddenly deleting their entire Instagram
Yeah, who was that? Who was that?
Pink, Usher
Pink was one, Usher was the other one
Yeah, deleted their account, deleted all their posts
Didn't he have legal guardianship of Usher?
Yep
Yeah, so we'll see, I mean, Epstein died
Yeah
Allegedly
I'm just saying, if you wake up tomorrow and you read that Sean Combs killed himself, no he didn't
Well, he's on suicide watch just like Epstein was, huh? What do you know?
So if you read that he killed himself, no he didn't
No, no, no, no
He's gonna get Epstein'd
No, it's gonna be a lapse in prison guards like it was with Epstein
We left him alone for five minutes and he killed himself
He's definitely gonna get Epstein'd before he can do too much more damage
Oh, and the camera wasn't working
Oh, that old gag, that old gag
And it was a shift change and there was an error in paperwork
Hey, you wanna come over and say anything? Come on over
We are talking sports, but we'll take anything, if you wanna say anything, we don't care
Well, I'm here on the conference
Oh, you are?
The Hall of Fame Conference
Oh, okay
I'm out of San Antonio, Texas
Okay
Oh, nice
So we're just touring around here
Oh, good
Just getting to see what Kansas City, I've never been here
Oh, good, good
Just enjoying it
Good, well welcome, man, we welcome you and we hope you like it, there's a lot of stuff to do here
There are a lot of different things to see
If you went down to Union Station
Where is that at?
It's on the south edge of downtown, oh, the streetcars aren't working right now because they're doing the upgrades
And all the constructions
Okay
So I saw a streetcar, what do you call those?
Oh, it was running actually
Oh, that's right, we did see the streetcar
You get on the streetcar, it will take you down to Union Station and that's where it ends
You have to get off there, but get off, look at the Union Station, go around there and look at that
There's Crown Center right next door
The National, the New World War I Museum is just south of Union Station
So it takes us over there and brings us back
Yes, yeah
It's still free, right?
Yes, what were you about to say?
Oh, I was saying I wanted to see that before, the World War I
Yeah
It is the only national World War I Museum in America
Okay
We're the official one
We are the official one, it's beautiful inside, it's been remodeled and it's just immaculate
Okay
That was good
They're the, try barbecue while you're here?
Yeah
Okay, what would you say would be really good for a first timer? Maybe Jack Stack?
I see Jack Stack, yeah
Okay, the closest one to here, Jack Stack, is at the freight house, it's right behind Union Station
You can ask anybody in there how to get there and it's just not that far away, you can walk there if you want to
Jack Stack at the freight yard district is a good one
Then if you want to go further, you can go to Slaps, which is really good, they're across the Kansas River
Okay
Over in KCK, Q39 is on 39th Street, Q39 is really good
Oh
Joe's, Kansas Street Joe's is really good
Yeah, Kansas Street Joe's, they used to be called Oklahoma Joe's, now they're Kansas City Joe's
Everyone was bitching so they changed it to Kansas City Joe's
I think Q39 will be it because you're the second person who's mentioned Q39
Yeah, that's good
You can't go wrong with any of them and if you want to go old school, Gates and Arthur Bryant's are the old school
Yeah, and those are like where everything originated from, everything came from them
Okay
And like now we have the new barbecue with the gourmet barbecue and all that
This was the meat and potatoes and barbecue would be Gates and Arthur Bryant's
Yeah
Cool, we gotta check them out
That sounds even better
Appreciate it
So anyhow, welcome and we hope you guys have a good time
Thank you so much
Yes, thank you very much, it's been enjoyable
I love the weather, South Texas where we live and there's a lot of hot heat, do it
Oh, I've been there before
Yeah, it's hot
Yeah, it's always hot
Nice seeing you guys, nice talking to you
Thanks for stopping by
All righty
Cool
That's awesome
Yeah, it is
I'd love to get to San Antonio, they've got such an awesome live music scene there
Oh, they do and Austin is even better
Mm-hmm
So, okay, where were we?
Let's see, we're already for San Francisco at the Rams
Okay
Rams won 27-24 and we both got it wrong
I was 27-20 for San Francisco and you were 27-17 for San Francisco
But the Rams surprised
Well, and also San Francisco was McCaffrey out and who else was out? Samuel was out
Debo, yeah
Debo, but Purdy still had a good game so it's not necessarily an excuse
Yeah, if Kittle is in there you got someone to throw to every play
Yeah, and they have Iook, he's still in there
Yep, he got his monster contract so he's happy now
He's happy now, yeah
We're gonna have to see who they have to give up because of that monster contract
True, yeah
Brock Purdy's still on his rookie deal so they're not paying the quarterback
Yeah, they're gonna have to, man, when his rookie deal runs out that's gonna be
He surprised me, I thought he was a system quarterback, I don't think so
Yeah
He's smart, he's savvy, he can throw
I don't know about the pinpoint passes but what he does, he does good enough
I haven't seen enough of his, like Mahomes against Cincinnati, the red basket catch on the sideline
30 yards away, 40 yards away, I have not seen that out of him
Another thing that Purdy's gonna have to make sure he can do well is
You want to build the team to have home playoff games
Yes
In December and January, or I guess it's mostly in January
January now, yeah
So look at what the weather's like in San Francisco in January, it's cold, it's wet
It can be misty, rainy, windy, so Brock Purdy needs to get good at playing under those conditions
Because that's when it's gonna matter the most
That's true
Home games and the playoffs, figure out what your city's weather's gonna be and get good at that
Well I mean a good example is, but not to this extreme, was Mahomes last year against the Dolphins
Mmhmm
Had a fantastic game
Yeah, we could handle the cold, they couldn't
They couldn't, yeah
So, yeah, so he's gonna have to handle that, but I think Purdy's come along very well
He is
And he's actually surprised me and actually kind of shut me up because I wasn't exactly a pretty
I just didn't think he was all that
He was a seventh rounder, wasn't he?
Yes, he was Mr. Irrelevant just like Torey
And like Suckup, yeah
And Suckup too, and Tom Brady
Yeah, Tom Brady was what, fifth round?
Yeah, yeah
Down there quite a ways
Yeah, Purdy was one of those guys too, just kind of like, yeah, just stow him on there if he can get anything out of him, that's good
Yeah, makes all those player personnel departments look silly
Yeah, he's no Trey Lance in a good form
Yes
Alrighty, the next one up, Jacksonville at Buffalo
We both picked Buffalo, so we got it right
Yeah, I had Buffalo getting 2,050 points and Jacksonville had minus 10
Doug Peterson watches on
Definitely, 47 to 10
Wow, that's something else, and they were up five touchdowns in the first half
Yeah, they let up
They missed an extra point, Buffalo Bills did, so they were up 34 to whatever in the first half
I wouldn't be surprised if Doug Peterson gets fired this week
Yeah, Jerry Jones isn't the kind of guy that fires a coach halfway through a season, but Jacksonville, yeah, they would
Yeah, yeah
And especially if they have someone else in mind
They might have someone else in mind
If they just have no one else in mind
Well, I'll tell you this, it's not going to be the defensive coordinator
No, no
Or the offensive coordinator
No, I wouldn't think
Yeah, they'd have to go probably out of house or maybe direct your player personnel, they got to have someone in mind
Yeah, but Doug Peterson has lost control of his team incredibly
If you were able to see Trevor Lawrence on the sidelines after coming out after a three and out or a series of bad plays
He looks not necessarily defeated, but he looks like he can't quite understand why things aren't working anymore
He's just like, what's going wrong?
We were never high on him
Why isn't this?
We never thought he was all that
No
Everybody else thought he was all that because of his size
Yeah
What were you getting ready to say?
I was going to agree with you
He had enough to where it was reasonable to hype him as one of the hot young quarterbacks in the Mahomes style, but he's really not
There is no football instinct there that I can catch at all
Yeah, he really doesn't seem quite ready for the pro game
He's been running, pumping like Mahomes or Allen, you don't see him spin move, running down the sideline, fucking throwing cross arm
You don't see any of that
He has no football to me, it looks like he has no football instinct at all
Yeah, I think there are parts of his game that never developed because he was able to get through by sheer talent through high school and football
But in the pros now, everybody gets figured out after a season or two, so you've got to have more in the tank
And Trevor Lawrence has to be able to add to his repertoire
Yeah
Maybe become scrambling quarterback or get better at the fake, he's got to do something because he's just doing the same old things now and they're not working anymore
Yeah, I agree
Historically I've kind of liked Jacksonville as a franchise
Yeah, they came out of the box hot
They had Mark Brunel and they were going very well, had a great defense
I remember upending Denver a couple of times and they were good, which was fun to watch
Yeah, in Denver
In Denver, propelled them to the championship game I believe
Yup
So, yeah, Doug Peterson watches on, Trevor Lawrence looks like he'd rather smoke a doobie on the beach
Yeah, and he's probably going to
Yeah, he probably is right now
Alright, in our last game we had Washington at Cincinnati
The score was 38-33 Washington, it wasn't that close really
No, it wasn't
It was a lot of garbage time
Or the article I saw the other night written by AI called it Garage Time
Garage Time
You always tell when AI is writing the article because they get something so obvious so wrong
Yeah, it's like where the hell did it
Or just a ridiculous mispronunciation of a word that everybody knows
Yeah, it's like where did this come from? Where did this come from? Yeah
Yeah, dumbass AI
Yup
So it was 38-33, I predicted 23-17, you predicted 35-10
So you're probably pretty closer to how it would have turned out
Yeah
If Cincinnati hadn't gotten some late scores
Yeah
But yeah, 0-3 Bengals, how about that?
And Washington's quarterback Jaden Daniels is really looking good
And you can tell he was having a blast last night
He was having so much fun
He's the surprise of the NFL obviously
I think so, yeah
Some of the throws he was making and they made Cincinnati look stupid
They fooled them so bad
Remember the quarterback option where he just ran it right in?
He sold that so well that everybody bit and he just went right in
You could have marched the whole USC marching band through that gap
Yeah, before anyone got near him
Yeah, that was an enormous hole and he just strolled right through
That looked like a chief's play
Yeah
Where they're so mismatched, so bad, they fooled them so bad to where they were like a mile away
Yeah
And you could just see Taylor Gaines just like da-da-da
We saw that in the chief's game
There were two defenders out on the right side
And one of the defenders was pointing at the other one saying, you know, we got to switch, we got to switch
And that guy never switched
And they both went after the same receiver and then that guy just ran right past him into the end zone
I saw that, yeah
I can't remember if one of them was Drew Tranquill or...
I don't think so
I don't think it was Tranquill
I remember them mentioning his name, but anyway
One of the chief's defenders had the right idea
Was it Janell and...
Oh well, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, but yeah
I know what play you're talking about because I'm like, oh shit
I'm like, look, they're mismatched, I thought they were going to call a timeout, but they didn't
Yeah
But great stop, Nick Bolton was an animal, oh my gosh
I'm so glad he was able to come back in
Because he got dinged
Oh, he did get dinged and what's worried me
Who was it that got dinged? Oh, Rice
Rice was dinged up, we need him so bad
Yeah, even Mahomes got his left leg, ankle or knee, something tweaked a little bit towards the end of the game
Yeah, he did that last game too, it kind of tweaked a little bit
So he's got a little bit of an issue
But I don't know, maybe foolish on my part, but I'm not that worried about Mahomes
He always seems to get through these injuries
Yeah
So, I mean he's a one-legged guy, beat the Philadelphia Eagles
That was so much fun
Even outran him
Yeah, yeah, he was hobbling down the field, just like, fall down, damn it
They're all looking at him like, what the fuck
He's supposed to fall down in agony
He was over there almost crying
Yeah, insane
So, you know, I'm not so worried about Mahomes, but we need Rice really bad
Rice has been over 100 yards consistently all year
We can't afford to lose any more receivers
No, and we also have our top runner out
Yeah, I'm glad Juju is doing better
Juju is doing better
Picking up some good slack, yeah
I look at Juju maybe getting 600 yards
If he keeps progressing the way he is, and that's all we need from him
Yeah, I'd say so
Especially for health, if we have a Hollywood Brown and a Rice in there
There's a lot of room for Juju to get around people
Yeah, yeah
If he's in there on those plays, I mean, it's kind of hard to fit all of them in there, and I understand
Yeah, and that's kind of how stats tend to work out on a team
Is you'll have one receiver that's, you know, far above everyone else
Yeah, that is
And everyone else is, you know, anywhere from 500 to 700 yards
Everyone else is a setup, guys, in the and if
Yeah
So you got the main guy, and you got the three or four and if ancillaries that switch out
You add them up, and they outgain the main guy
Yeah, but that's the way a good team works, too
So nice balanced offense
So, all right, was that the last game?
That was it, that was all of our gameage
All right, well, do you want to go into some bullet points now?
Let's do some bullet points
All right
While we're doing that, I'll write down the upcoming games
Okay, that's cool
Robert Sala and Aroj having a heated exchange
Sala said nothing to worry about
Do you believe that, and do you think it's going to be an issue coming up?
Yeah, I think it is
I do, too
I think management or ownership, whatever you want to call it, is going to side with Aaron Rodgers
So any difficulties they have between the two
And we know Aaron Rodgers is kind of a tough guy to get along with so far in the NFL
Yeah, and Sala's no bitch
He is not a bitch
No, no, and he's not going to want to just roll over and take crap from Aaron Rodgers
No, I see him fighting back and going, no, you guys need to do it my way or fuck you
I could see him doing that
And as a head coach, you kind of got to do it that way
You got to do it because he has too much pride to let them screw what he was going to do up
So yeah, that's
I mean, there's already some bones in Aaron's backyard, right?
There's already bones from Jets like Wilson and a couple other guys that really didn't necessarily see eye to eye
And all the weirdness that's followed him from Green Bay and how he's quirky, he's unusual, he's eccentric
Whatever you want to call it, he thinks outside the way most people think on a lot of things
And he's not the kind of guy that backs down, so he's going to want it his way
And his way isn't necessarily going to work
You see, I can see the playoffs and these issues really coming up suddenly
Sala's out there going, no, no, no, no, you don't do that play
And Aaron Rodgers is going to go, no, fuck you, I'm doing it
And I think it's going to chip away, but you're really going to see it during really pressure times
If they make the playoffs, I see that rear and its ugly head right off the bat
And the better that Aaron Rodgers and the Jets do, the more power he's going to demand
The more difficult it's going to be to rein him in
He'll get to the point where he's telling the head coach, hey, we'll do it my way
If you don't, I dare you to bench me
Exactly
We're on a four game winning streak and we're first in our division
We're into the playoffs, I dare you to bench me
Oh, hang on, my knee hurts
Yeah, I could see that happening
I could too
Alright, we're on par with that
Okay, Baru and Mahomes had a very quick exchange after the game last week
Baru said they spoke before the game, but analyzing it, it wasn't very friendly at all
It didn't look like it
No, I mean, I could see them just going, hey, good luck, bye
I don't think they like each other
And I think it's a facade that they act like they like each other
Allen and Mahomes like each other
They talk, you could see them look into each other's eyes
They didn't look at each other's eyes or face
And just went over there and did a little pat and went on
There's something there
And I guess I'm being a homer, but I would tend to think that it's because Joe Burrow did something, some kind of dick move
To spoil it
And it may be that Burrow's under pressure to not get too chummy with their main rival, I can understand that
I would be upset if Patrick Mahomes was out there chumming it up with a Raider
So I get that
Well, Jamar Chase has always hated the Chiefs anyhow
Yeah, the personal anger and hatred by a lot of Bengals players I think just made that friendship too difficult
And in order to be the guy and the leader of the Bengals, he can't be seen being friendly with Mahomes
That a lot of other players just hate so much
I think there's a little bit of that, but I also think there's a little bit of maybe there was something that went on behind the scenes
Hey, good morning
Yeah, but yeah, they definitely see him on the outs
Yeah, yeah
Interesting
Okay, we both agree with that
I knew that you were like me and going, huh, what's that about?
And then I started looking on the internet and they're going, hey, wait a minute, you know
But Burrow said that they spoke before the game, I'm not so sure if that's entirely correct
So anyhow, the next one, Bryce Young pissed for being benched, okay or not okay?
I get it
I get it too
But I don't think he's really got much leg to stand on because he was shown up by the backup
The fervor that he went after to me was excessive
Yeah
You can show being upset that shows that you want to be in there and you want to get better
But you don't shake your fist in the air at your employer
And then expect them to be like, okay, come on back
Especially when the Red Rocket came in and just annihilated the competition, the Raiders
With the system that Bryce Young has been struggling with
Yes
With the players that Bryce Young has been struggling with
So what does that indicate?
At least some of the problem is Bryce Young
So the fact that he was so vigorous at attacking them
They said, I believe at Carolina, didn't they say something to the fact that he's going to be back in there?
Yeah, I think they pretty much said it's not like a season long bench
Yeah, what it is is he was going downward spiral so fast they had to stop it
Yeah, that's true
Stop, let's take a time out here, pull him out
Give him a chance to get a breath
I think Bryce needs to come back, shut his mouth, humble himself a little bit
And realize he was a big part of this benching
And be more of a team player
Yes, and be like, do yourself to sweet
You don't attack any team mate publicly
Yeah, be a part of the system and go, all right, he's a better player right now
I'm going to get better, I'm going to be that guy
But right now he's that guy, so be it
Yeah, I mean, I've seen a lot of players come out and say, you know, hey, that's on me
I'm not playing well enough, this just means I got to step it up, blah, blah, blah
And he went the other tack of, you know, I'm so angry at him
Yes
It's not a good look
No, it isn't, it isn't
All right, we're on board with that
This next one is a very complex subject, but I want to cover it
It's getting a lot of steam right now, but not in the context I'm bringing it
Mahomes magic, different, just enough to win
It's very different
It is
It's nothing, I mean, go back if you can and look at some of those early Mahomes games from his first season to starter
He carried the team on his back
Yeah, wild throws, wild scrambling, excitement everywhere
No look passes here and there, making the defenses just flip
What the hell, you know, making them scratch their head at what he did
Yeah, and anymore it's, he's come back more to the pack of the plays he runs and how he does it
But his ability is still there that he can fit the ball in
Yes
And he can see how the play develops and know where to go
He's not being as wild and flashy anymore
I miss that
I do too
Sometimes it feels like we need it, but I guess they've decided that just doesn't fit anymore
I guess
Because they're just not letting him do it as much
Well, for one, the defenses are all over him
They learned ever since the Super Bowl that we lost to Tampa that extreme heat and pressure is the only thing you can do
Yeah, that's something I've heard, number one, keep Mahomes in the pocket and number two, collapse the pocket on him
Yes
Because once he gets out of the pocket, it's like, we have no idea where he's going
But once he figures, the only problem with that is like in Philadelphia, the Super Bowl
Once he figures out how to get out of that pocket and do damage, then you got that third element that screws everything up
Because as soon as he did that in the Super Bowl against Philadelphia, all of a sudden these passing lanes opened up
And that's because they had to account for him because they're like, now this guy's just running in the middle
And then he's diving down before we hit him
If we hit him, we get 15 yards and they're going to score, so you have to just put up with this guy running in the middle
And it's a simple adjustment, you know, you make, excuse me, the adjustment with your offensive line
On pass plays, you know, block the guys, but make a hole somewhere for me to step up or run ahead into
Just make a hole somewhere in case I need it
And they started doing it
That second or third guy they're putting on Kelsey has to account for Mahomes now
Yeah, and if Kelsey's running away from Mahomes, it's going to go, no way you'll get there in time
Yeah, so Mahomes' magic is completely different because here's what I think is going on and you tell me what you think
Okay, Mahomes is such a leader that he's going to go, I'm going to throw an interception or two, I don't care, we're still going to win
Yeah, I can see that
He didn't used to be like that, now he's like, I don't care about stats, I just want to, if it takes having a couple interceptions to win, that's what I do
Early in his career he was throwing interceptions because he wasn't accounting for things or way too many balls were getting tipped into the end
That was one of them
That made me so, those should go on the receiver, not the quarterback
Oh, I agree, there needs to be a system like a tipped ball that doesn't go
Yeah, but yeah, now the interceptions he's throwing, it's more like, if this works it's going to be worth it, if it doesn't work, we can make up for it
So I like that, that he's willing to take those chances with the confidence in himself and the team that, you know, if I throw a pick we can overcome it
It's not the end of the world, we can handle it
Yeah, no I agree, it's completely different but it's working right now
I suppose it worked last year too, didn't it?
Yeah it did
We got the trophy I think
Yeah, yeah, it's still there, it didn't change hands
No
Okay, Spagnolo
Spagnolo is one of the best defensive coordinators ever
Yeah, he's won me over
You know he's had to have had offers to be a head coach
I'm so glad he's not
No, I'm telling you what, he's probably looking at it and going, you know what, why would I go?
When the Super Bowls are paying me a mint and I'm where I know
You know, he has been a head coach before
Yeah
Okay, so I think that he had enough of that, now he's like, no, I'm where I need to be and this is the team I need to be with
So I can see him finishing it, he's going to ride this thing out here
I would, if I were in that position, you know, there are things you want to try in your career before you end
And if he's tried those things or he still wants to go do them
Then, you know, he can go do those things I guess
But I'm hoping that he's like, I've done this, I've done that, there's some things I haven't done yet
But I don't want to give this up
Yeah, he's really fancy Kansas City too, I mean, you know, he's found some really good Italian food like arrozos and stuff
I'm happy about that
I was going to say, this also brought up the idea
You'd be surprised how many people don't know about the Rooney rule in the NFL
And that was named after Pittsburgh head coach Art Rooney
Who was very active in getting the NFL to quit being so racist about hiring head coaches
Yeah, yeah, actually very instrumental
Yes, and that's why they named the rule after him, he was saying you've got to get more people of color in the coaching ranks of the NFL
So they made it a rule that when you had to head coaching vacancy
You had to have at least one serious, meaningful interview with a person of color
Unless you're Eric Bienneme
Yeah
My God, what is going on with that guy? Now he's in college being a coordinator
Yeah
Anyhow, go ahead, I'm sorry
So for a big span of time, they were enforcing that pretty well
I think the Raiders once got fined for promoting somebody in-house, a white guy
And it's like, Rooney rule, you've got to make a serious
Oh yeah, they did
You've got to seriously consider
Actually not that long ago, maybe 10 years ago, I remember that happening
But you know, in the last five years or so, I've seen teams just, you know, right off the bat
Everyone's saying, okay, well this airhead coach is out, here's the guy they really want
Well, it's a white guy
And they only talk about him in any interviews
And sure enough, he gets the job
It's like, what the hell happened to the Rooney rule?
They seem to have forgot about it, and I'll tell you why
The owners just ignored it
I could see that happening
It was a useful thing at the time and it made the NFL appear good in the public's eyes
But right now they're ignoring it because it's not necessarily good for business
That's what they're doing, they're like, you know
So I would have said Spagnolo has a difficulty there because, you know, teams can't go for him first
But I guess any more they can because the Rooney rule is just hanging by thread
Don't you think that there's other teams that are trying to pick him off as defensive coordinator
And offering him a bunch of stuff too?
Oh yeah
If nothing else, just get him off our team
Yeah, just get him away from there
But no, I think that it's a package deal between them too
And I think when Andy Reid steps down, he will
I used to think he was going to be the heir apparent
I don't think so
I think he's where he wants to be, I think Reid is where he wants to be
And I think they're going to ride into the sunset together and have a laugh and like high five
Yeah, you know, that's how I would want to do it, I would think
You know, go out, do the franchise you loved, and the team you helped build
And all the success you've had
And not spend one or two years somewhere else trying to learn, trying to recapture
And you realize, eh, this is just fun
He's a very likeable guy too
He's out there, he's hard nosed, but he has fun
Yeah, looks like it
When something works, he's over there with a big smile
And you can see him going, alright
You can see his face, like, okay, that works
So now we're going to, you know, you can see him formulating something else
The guy is just insanely good
He has fun, he ain't moving, I don't think
I wouldn't think so, it would take a lot
It would excuse me a lot
Okay, this whole thing came from Mahomes Magic
Completely different, but it's working
And I think we're going to have to switch it up too
And I think we're going to have to go to Air Mahomes too
Because it's getting to where the defenses are catching up so much
To where they're actually getting to where they could tip the scale in their favor
So it's, I mean, they already have
It's just the Mahomes effect brings everybody up so much
And also Andy Reid too
So, I mean, let me put it like this
Aidan O'Connell telling you we're going to win this
Or Patrick Mahomes telling you we're going to win
Or I'll go a step further
Lamar Jackson telling you we're going to win this
Or Patrick Mahomes telling you we're going to win this
History would say believe Patrick Mahomes
Yeah, Burrow, any of the guys that, like a little Skippy Bayless would champion over a guy
Dak Prescott, that's a good one
Yeah, Dak Prescott, guarantees a win
I think there's, if the teams were going to be honest
I think pretty much every team in the league would like to have Patrick Mahomes on their roster
Instead of who they have
They can't act like it
We got our guy
They can't mother fuck their own guy
But you know they think they are
You know they're like looking at real tapes going what the hell
Somewhere in an alternate reality Mahomes is on their team
And also another thing is people like going
Oh, you need to get Mahomes footwork in order
No, no, it doesn't matter
Yeah, and this is where everyone went wrong in the first place
Everybody mother fucked his footwork
It's horrible, they'll never make it
Except Reed and Veach and a couple other guys there
They're like we don't care
We're not trying to change it
We want them just like that
Just like that, yeah
Alright, next one
Brian Callahan emerges as a new first out list after big show be living to Levis
And now he backs him
So he went from screaming at him and putting him in timeout and shaming him
To going oh I back him 100%
How can you do that?
Man, that's
You can't believe anything your coach says at that point
No, after that
He's totally destroyed his credibility
Yeah, exactly
And maybe he lost his temper momentarily
When he screamed at him on the sideline
He never really lost his faith in him
But does that show maturity?
Really, that shows your head coach's lack of maturity
Lack of self control
What other things is he going to lose his control and do during a crucial time of the game?
He's damaging his career
Yes
Definitely
Yeah, I think Brian Callahan is probably on a short list of people that are going to be let go
He's probably going to wind up like his dad Bill Callahan
Not even in football
Yeah, just
So in insurance
Yeah, just get into the NFL and suck canal water and get out
Brian Callahan has so far shown me nothing
Nothing
Yeah, got in
Looks like got in on his name partially
Yeah, even though his name shouldn't be that good
I know
Bill Callahan did decent at Nebraska
Yeah, the thing about me is the Super Bowl that he didn't change one play
Then you had John Gruden down there going, hey guys
The coach he was playing against wrote the Raiders
Wrote those, yeah
Whole playbook and he didn't change a damn thing when he faced them
He's like, you see that two tight end set?
Here's what they're going to do
And remember before that Super Bowl there's at least one Raiders player, Barrett Robbins
A lineman who disappeared down to Mexico
And they found him drunk and out of his mind
Oh yeah
And they played it off as just like jitters or whatever
It's like no, that guy knew that I've slaved and worked my whole career to get here
And this guy's going to fuck it up
Yeah, we just have no chance
It's going to be one of the worst and most humiliating defeats when it could have been so great
You could go to Mexico and have a party
Yeah, I'm so surprised that Callahan didn't get beat up in the Raiders locker room at halftime
He may have
I could see like five or six of those giant football players coming over and say, coach
You don't pull your head out of your ass
We're going to show it farther up in there
You could see the life of them, gone
I remember the next day at work I found a Raiders fan and said, hey
I just heard on the radio
The Buccaneers just scored again
He said, shut up
I think they just scored again right now
Yeah, I think so
And Jamar Daniels is still crying about it
Or Jamar Chase, I'm sorry
Yeah, yes
They put a mushroom stamp on his forehead while he was there
So yeah, Tennessee is probably going to be looking for a head coach soon
I got a two part Bengals question here
Sure
First one, Bengals Cam Taylor, Brett, cornerback
He loves to provoke the other teams
He said that boy Xavier Worthy cannot run a straight route
He said, oh, nice college offense about the Washington commanders ahead of time
He is giving these guys material
Zach Taylor needs to shut this guy up in my opinion because all he's doing is making things worse
He is belittling and making fun of the people before he plays them
It's bad enough you got Chase
You got Jamar Chase over there mouthing off and spitting out and stuff
And you have Joe Burrow being injured all the time
Then you have this brick guy, this cornerback mouthing off constantly
Now that shows you a very undisciplined team at the very least
And that could show you why there is an 0-3 start on this
So should Zach Taylor shut him up?
Yeah, yeah, when you start bragging and shit talking your opponent before you play them
There is no good thing that can happen
If you lose to them you look like an idiot
If you win you look like a bully and a bragger
So there is no benefit to that
I'm going to watch this the way I watch things
Every employer I worked when something was screwing up and not making sense
But it was going on and going on
I finally realized this is the way the bosses want it
It doesn't make sense but apparently this is the way they want it
Because they can do something about it right now
Yeah, but they choose not to
So let's see if this cornerback for the Bengals keeps doing this for most of the season
If he does then somebody wants him to
Because they've got every reason to shut him up
And every opportunity to shut him up
But if they don't it's because that's what they want him to do
If Zach Taylor could bench him and say look we're losing A-How, we're 0-3
He could just say look this is what happens and Jamar Chase you're next
Punish him by cutting his practice reps and putting the fear of God in him
Yeah, if they're not doing it then they're okay with what's happening
I blame this 90% on Zach Taylor not doing anything
The other 10% is this guy can shut his mouth at any time but he won't
See he's another wild card that can be used by anybody
Cincinnati's going against a team and the outcome makes a big difference in the playoff
Hey, got anything you want to say?
No
Okay, alright
Or they'll come up to this cornerback guy
Life is good
Yes it is
I love that you guys are talking about this
It's all about the bingo
We're grateful for a great win
It's just too much fun out there to be had to worry about all the messy weird stuff
Absolutely
We're grateful for every day
Yes, absolutely
Have a good day
But think about this, it's late in the season and the Bengals are playing a pivotal game against Sunbunny
That's what Skid Ray go into
Xavier Worthy reads this again
Oh, okay
He makes the wind and touchdown
And then he goes over to him and goes, how about that line?
Yep
Yeah, probably against him
This is how you make people perform better
Yep
Like I said man, I thought my coach hated me in high school football
I thought he hated me
I could not do anything right until I did something right
He said, oh yeah, I knew you could do it
I'm like, what?
He goes, yeah, you just needed a kick in the ass and that's what you got and you did it, didn't you?
Yeah, remember that
Yep
This, yeah, same thing
Same thing, only a little bit different
It's not your head coach wanting you to succeed
What you're doing is you're making this guy give him enough motivation
Where he's going to figure out a way to beat you
Yeah, and if you're going to influence the game
You don't just run out there and trip the guy before he runs into the end zone
You do it in little subtle ways
Like before the game you give one team way more motivation
Or during the game you piss off one team by calling some lame ass penalties on them
That's how you influence a game
Little things that all added up don't guarantee that the game is going to go the way you want
But it makes it way more likely
Oh, and I see a lot of make-up penalties anymore now
Yeah, I do too
It's guaranteed if they blow something and it's up on the big screen
There's going to be one coming up that's like very questionable at the least
And all the vague terminology they've introduced
Yeah
Like you catch the ball and make a football move
Well, they make it vague so they can call it any way they want
See that right there, that was a non-football move
Okay
So you think you know what the rule is but really they can just call whatever they want
And say it still fits the rule
Yeah, yep
So it's, the field is wide open for influencing the games in real time
Yeah, okay, so I've got more bullet points but I was thinking maybe we could do those on the second one
Okay
On the second broadcast
So I have some more horrible sayings or stupid sayings
I love these
So, well hang on, I got a message
1pm tomorrow, I got my massage
Yay, thank God
Okay, alright, let me find these here
This is stupid sayings from players, coaches, and the media
Everybody's involved in this one
So, alright, Thomas Hollywood Henderson
Former Cowboys linebacker
On Terry Bradshaw's brain
He couldn't spell cat if you gave him the C and the T
I think I remember that one too
Yeah, that was the week leading up to the Super Bowl against the Cowboys against the Steelers
After the game Bradshaw in the locker room was saying, oh, and tell Hollywood Henderson, C-A-T
Yeah, sorry we're at
Hollywood Henderson was a fun guy
He was, and he could back it up though
He could back it up, but it was always funny to see what would come out of his mouth
He was great for the league
He didn't hold back, oh, people loved him
He was kind of like the Muhammad Ali of the NFL
I was going to say I read his autobiography
He was a really entertaining writer, really entertaining story
If he hadn't been so in love with cocaine, he could have played well for a few more years
He said there was a time he left the game and he was out in his car in the parking lot
Coked out of his mind, paranoid of every movement and every sound
It was like middle of the night, everyone else had gone home after the game
He's out there in his car quivering on the floorboards because he's so paranoid he can't move
Wow
Yeah, crazy
Yeah, that is
Okay, Joe Theismann, former Redskins quarterback
Well, this will be good
Nobody in football should be called a genius
A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein
Norman
Norman Einstein
Wow
I love that one
Do you get like maybe Norman Lear or something?
I can't think of another Norman that would fit in there
Norman Bates
Norman Bates, that's it
Storman Norman
Schwarzkopf
Norman Schwarzkopf
Yeah
You know what the weird thing, you know what Schwarzkopf means in German?
Blackhead
Schwarz is black and kopf is head, so Schwarzkopf, blackhead
There's a makeup company called Schwarzkopf
Really, you're going to wear makeup that's called blackhead
Oh, I did see that, yeah
All right then
I'm thinking in Germany they're not going to sell that
They're probably not selling in Germany, yeah
All right, Jim McMahon, of course, you know, Ferris quarterback
Yeah, multi-concussion Jim McMahon
Yes, and he shows it on this one
All right, on traveling to Europe, the people don't take baths and they don't speak English
No golf courses, no room service, who needs it?
If it doesn't serve me, it has no reason to exist
It's like the other day on a TV show, someone was complaining because they wanted to be introduced to their friend's half-brother
And she was like, why? Because he's gay
And she's like, what a waste
And I thought, really? So since he's not available for you to date, he has no reason to exist?
What a horrible dismissive thing to say
They meant that as a pun, but it really was kind of like very belittling, too
Yeah, I mean, how would you imagine if a guy just threw a woman away in this consideration
and goes, oh, well, she doesn't want to suck my dick
Oh, she's a waste, get her out of here
All right
That's weird
Dining tip number 17 over here on this truck
Oh, wherever we deliver, get a table
That's pretty good
That is pretty good
Reinhardt Food Service, never heard of it
Reinhardt Rammstein
Yeah, the Nazi
Nazi Food Delivery Company, oh my god
Just joking, nothing to do with it
Next one, John McKay, former Bucks head coach
Oh yeah, I remember John McKay
Yeah, he was AF
Well, we've determined that we can't win at home and we can't win on the road
What we need is a neutral site
There was a time after a bad loss, the media asked him, what do you think of your team's execution today?
And he said, I'm all for it
You see the team going, huh?
The Buccaneers lost their first what? 26 games of their existence
It's like the whole first season and almost all the way to the end of the second season
That was back when they played 14 game seasons
Yes
So two games before the end of their second season, they finally won their very first game
Wow
That was rough
Yeah
Okay, next one, Randy Moss
Oh, Randy's fun
Yeah, they have him as Titans wide receiver, Minnesota and above that
Well, everyone knows Randy Moss and you get mossed
Yeah
When you're rich, you don't write checks, straight cash, honey
Randy Moss, I didn't really care for that one
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense either
I guess he meant like laundering kind of, you know how people used to kind of launder checks, you know
It would be legal, but the money wasn't quite in the bank yet
But it was going to be in Thursday because your check went in there
It would have made more sense if he'd said when you're rich, you don't charge things on a credit card
You just take that, that would have made more sense
I think that's what he was meaning
Maybe so
Yeah, so anyhow, if I would have read that at first, I would have skipped it
I mean, I don't know what else to say
John Madden
Excuse me
John Madden, and this will be the last one of this one
Then we'll go into someone's next
John Madden, former Raiders head coach
The purpose of center during the snap is to get the ball to the quarterback
If that doesn't happen, it usually results in a fumble
Well, yeah
Yeah, if you drop something, it usually falls down
Yes
Oh, really?
The simplicity when we thought it was so complex
How did I live without this information?
Yeah
My gosh
All righty, well, do you want to wrap this one up and go into the second one here?
I think that's planned
All righty, everybody
Thank you for joining us on the first part
Make sure to join us on the second part
We're going to probably suck equally as bad
It's more fun that way
Yes, it is
Enjoy the promo I put after this
Harambe loved talking sports
Harambe doesn't talk sports anymore
Why not?
Because Harambe's dead
Harambe died because some idiot could not watch their children properly while they were on the phone
They shot him, senselessly murdered
Harambe does not talk sports anymore
Sorry, Harambe
Didn't you really sit there and listen to all that garbage they were spilling?
Do you actually believe one inch of it?
I didn't think so
Hang on, game over
