From the deep inside the bowels of the city market in Kansas City, Missouri downtown property,
near the banks of the beautiful crystal blue waters of the Missouri River,
it is the origin of two, Topher and Mark, given the 2024 football predictions for the year.
You thought they were done, didn't you?
Don't you wonder what these two dullards look like?
Yeah, me neither.
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.
Well, since the sports show can't be called to douchebags with a microphone,
maybe we could just call them the sports bastards.
Hello!
...the sports bastards.
Sorry, I had the previous track not muted. It won't bleed through.
We were listening to ourselves for just a moment there. It was kind of weird.
I think we sounded great. Until we started talking.
Yeah, we sounded great until we opened our mouths.
It was a fantastic broadcast, but then we had to talk.
It's your best show ever! And then I realized the volume was all the way down.
No, I'd done that. I'd done that. Man, Rob was not happy.
We had an epic one where we were both just banging on everything.
Great comebacks and we were laughing our ass off.
Then I had to tell him, I go, Rob, I think it did turn out.
He was like, what?
There was a musician I heard once, he was talking about that.
He said he got up in the middle of the night and had this great inspiration for a song.
He was like, I've got to record this or I'm going to forget it.
So we went to his home studio and he was turning everything on.
He was playing and he played a few versions of it.
Then he hit all the buttons and wandered off.
Then in the morning he woke up and was like, oh yeah, I want to play that back and listen to it.
But it turns out he never took it off pause.
So the whole time he was playing was on pause because the first thing he heard was himself setting everything down and walking away.
Because when he thought he had shut it down, he took it off pause and recorded himself walking away.
He was sitting there just heartbroken.
And he listened to himself walk down the stairs in the kitchen to get something to eat and then walk back upstairs.
And as he walked by his studio, he was whistling the tune.
He's like, that's it. Oh, now I remember.
What a great...
I wish I can remember what the song was, but I remember I had heard of it.
But he said, man, that was almost gone forever.
There was also one that Jimi Hendrix, you probably heard about this, but he was on acid.
Did Jimi Hendrix do acid?
I guess so. I guess so.
As weird as it seems, Topher, as weird as it seems, I guess he had some part in his life where he delved into that.
Next thing you're going to tell me is that birds have feathers or something.
Yeah, same craziness, same craziness. What a world.
Yes.
So Hendrix is on acid.
He was smashed on acid. He kept playing one note, one note, one note.
And one guy said, why are you recording this?
I guess he's there with other people and they were a little bit more sober than him.
He goes, just wait.
All of a sudden he belts out Purple Haze.
Oh my God.
I guess lyrics too.
And the guy goes, that's why.
And he said, I'm so sick of him playing some shit that I love and then the next day he doesn't know.
Yeah.
He said it starts out like this all the time.
Record everything.
Yeah, he plays a note, note, note, note, and you get bored and you leave.
He said, no, I know what to do now.
He recorded every bit of it and they got Purple Haze.
And he had no recollection at all.
He goes, who did that? That's you. That's me. That was you last night.
I played that?
Channel that again, dude.
That sounds like me singing. I sang that?
Yes.
I'll be damned.
I saw an interview with Greg Allman the other day and he said a lot of the songs, they come out in pieces.
And you have to store them up and remember them and try to fit them together and work on them.
He said, you know, most of Allman Brothers music was that way.
But he said there's one that he just sat down and it just came out in a stream of consciousness beginning to end.
What song was it?
Midnight Rider.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
That's such a flowing song. I get it. I get it.
Back when that song came out, every trucker in the country changed their CV handle to Midnight Rider because it was so popular.
You still hear that a little bit every now and then, too.
Yeah. Yeah. But he said that song just from start to finish, it was just complete in my head before I even knew it.
So all I had to do was just sit down and play it. There it is. It's done.
That's a rarity.
That is a rarity. I love his honesty, though.
Yeah.
You don't get a lot of that. I mean, really, not that frank.
No.
Not that transparent.
Another example of his honesty is he's been married either five or six times and divorced again.
And he said all of them were my fault. Everyone was my fault.
And he said the weird thing is he only proposed once. All these other women, including Cher, proposed to him.
Oh, I forgot he's married to Cher.
Yeah. They have a son, Elijah Blue.
Oh, wow. Yep.
We'll have to see what he's up to these days.
Wow. Okay.
All these women, they proposed to him. And, you know, of course, he was so broken and into all these addictions.
Yeah. It didn't work out. Well, I love the fact they said it was all my fault. It didn't work out.
Yeah. He said the two hardest addictions for him to kick, booze and cigarettes. Those were the two tests.
Everybody says that.
Carroin, not a problem. Cocaine, not a problem. Weed, not that big a problem. Booze was tough. Cigarettes, even tougher.
Thank you, by the way.
Oh, welcome.
Okay. I can believe that. Everybody says cigarettes is the toughest. And I mean, Eddie Van Halen could quit cocaine.
He could quit everything, but he couldn't quit cigarettes.
Yeah. Amazing.
There's many other cases, too, where the person, Ozzy said that, too.
Yeah. It's just so insidious. Jim Morrison, the singer of The Doors, never smoked.
And then he started bumming smokes from people in the audience during the shows.
And then towards the end, when they recorded LA Woman and his voice was just destroyed, he was like,
the guitar player's like, I just have this memory of Jim lighting a cigarette and sucking like half of it down in one drag.
He's like, this guy's never going to sing again.
He was a compulsive guy like that, too.
Oh, yeah. He turned everything up to 11.
It made him and destroyed him all in the same breath.
Yeah.
Yeah. Even when LA Woman was being recorded, everyone was like, this is the last album he's ever going to sing.
Yeah. His voice is gone.
Then not after that. Long after that, he went to France, never came back.
Yeah.
Okay. Should we start going into some of these picks?
Let's start it. We've wasted six and a half minutes of everyone's time so far.
Good. Good. Well, right now, they turned it anyhow. We know that. They're not even going to hear this.
Yeah, they're skipping a hit.
Yeah. Yep.
All right. So, you have an interesting story about a former head coach.
Okay. Well, this is the hot rumor. I read it on a couple of Hot Rumor websites.
But we were talking about Mike McCarthy and his problems and how we think that a lot of what's going on is on his back squarely.
Yeah.
Him and Jerry Jones, I guess, are not getting along very well.
Jerry Jones is reportedly working out a deal with Bill Belichick.
In fact, the only snag right now is it looks like he's going to replace Mike McCarthy at the end of the year, not right now.
Because, yeah, Jerry Jones doesn't fire coaches mid-season.
Unless they turn it around and they win the Super Bowl, then he'll probably scrap it.
That's so funny.
But I don't think that's going to happen.
Yeah.
So, Bill Belichick has like four demands, it said, that Jerry Jones has to meet.
And I'll bet you one of them is no meddling.
Yeah. Because right now, he's taken so many of the duties away from general manager and head coach and doing them himself.
And I think he's got to realize now this ain't working.
Otherwise, they would have Super Bowl rings by now.
Well, they're getting left out of the league right now. He's probably getting sick of it.
You know, you've got a guy there, Jack Prescott, that is a leader in passes by far.
And he's losing.
Yeah.
How is that possible to lose that bad and have that many yards?
And let's face it, Baltimore let him back in. They let off the pedal.
Yeah, they did.
It would have been a total crushing if it wasn't for that.
And from a business standpoint, Dallas has positioned in the history to be a monster player as far as merchandise, fandom, reaching non-NFL cities, et cetera.
But they're blowing it season after season.
And their revenue is starting to fall.
And the Chiefs have overtaken them as the most popular team in Texas' southern neighbor, Mexico.
Yes.
So both the league and Jerry Jones, I'm sorry I say so too many times, both the league and Jerry Jones have probably realized we're letting too much money get out of our hands.
We need to do something to turn this around.
Belichick is a known name, instant credibility.
Jerry Jones can back off and just be the owner again.
Back in March we was on our cruise at a couple of the stops in Mexico.
And I got so much love there.
Everybody loved the Chiefs. I thought it was going to be hate. I thought they were going to be Raiders fans or something.
No, that's only the ones up here.
Yeah.
The ones down there are Chief lovers.
And they showed around every corner, yeah, you know, Mahomes, Kelsey.
Well, there's more Mahomes than Kelsey.
I would think, yeah.
Anyhow, they were extremely Chiefs. There was a couple of other ones, but mainly Chiefs, eccentric people.
Yeah.
It was surprising, but I can believe it after you said that.
Yeah.
That seems, I mean, I wouldn't have thought of that myself, Belichick going to Dallas, but boy, that makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
You know, Brady went to the NFC. Why wouldn't Belichick go do that and do the same thing?
Say, hey, you went to the NFC and succeeded, so can I.
Yeah, that's true.
And of course, he wouldn't go to Tampa Bay because that's already been done.
Yeah.
But Dallas, yeah.
Dallas makes all the sense in the whole world.
Huge city of Dallas, and then twice a year he plays the New York Giants.
Huge city in the New York Giants.
His old team.
Yeah.
Twice a year he plays the Commanders, nation's capital.
He'll play the Patriots every now and then.
Yeah.
Twice a year he'll play the Eagles.
The rivalry with the Chiefs.
Philadelphia is an enormous city and heritage, yeah.
I mean, the division works out really well for gaining national attention.
He'll get to go after Mahomes again.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, the whole thing makes sense.
It really does, man.
I can believe it and we'll see what happens.
So, all right, should we go to the first game on the docket?
Yes, which coincidentally is Dallas at the New York Giants.
Okay, unfortunately, I'm going to go with Dallas.
A nut tugger.
21-20.
Wow, that will be a nut tugger.
It will be.
It's going to be a real yanker.
I'm feeling that Dallas is going to explode this week and just be super pissed about the
way things are going and I think they're going to put up some big points this week.
So, I'm going to go 30-13 Dallas.
I think it's going to be a big.
I could see it going like that too, easily.
Yeah.
I'm looking at Dallas to go in there pissed off and just start rolling and never let up.
Yeah, I agree.
Plus, it's more fun if it works out that way.
Yeah, it is.
I'm not making safe predictions because those are boring.
No, you know what, you're right.
Yeah, you know what, you're right.
Okay.
So, we agree on Dallas.
I just disagree on the score.
Which is a kiss of death.
Yeah.
Sorry, McCarthy.
Yeah, no kidding.
Oh, what now?
Last week, I missed six and you missed nine.
Yeah, we had an off week.
Before that, the week before, we only missed like two.
I know.
I knew we were going to do horrible this week.
Yeah, and we don't even worry about point spread or anything.
So, it should be a lot easier to pick these winners.
No, we're just like straight up missing these, which is horrible.
Isn't this weird?
This is one of the very few NFL shows that doesn't talk about gambling.
No.
Or fantasy football.
No, you know why?
Because we don't care.
Yeah.
See, that's why Roger Goodell keeps texting me.
He said, damn it, talk about the point spread.
Yeah, come on, guys, come on.
Over, under, something.
You know what I forgot again?
What's that?
The thumb drives.
Hey, we're stopping by your place of work later.
You can pick one up.
I can pick one up.
You can pick one up.
Here we go.
All right.
You ready for the next game?
Yes.
Sorry, I also do too many times.
I'm going to quit that.
Yeah, we all do.
Hey, that'll be a new drinking game when I go or say, so y'all do your shot.
Slam some old crow.
Yeah, or take a great big bomb rip or something.
Yeah, or a night trainer.
All right.
OK.
The second game we've got is Cincinnati at Carolina.
All of a sudden, this looks fun.
Yes, it does.
I think Nanny's going to break their losing streak.
I would think so.
Not by very much.
I'm going to say Nanny's going to score probably 30 to 20.
I'm pretty close.
I was like 27-17.
OK.
I think Carolina's going to still be able to score, but Cincinnati's going to rediscover
their weapons.
They're going to be so sick of losing.
And if they go down 0-4, then the season's a wash.
They know it's over.
Yeah.
I mean, you're going to be struggling to get into the playoffs.
Yeah.
So Cincinnati, I think, is going to rise up.
Their back is against the wall, and they have no choice but to win this week.
Yeah.
We both got a 10-point game.
Yeah.
I think it's going to be closer than everybody thinks, and I think the game is going to be
a little close probably until the second half.
And then you'll see the Bengals probably rev it up and make sure that they get that win.
Yeah.
I can see that definitely.
Yeah.
But they got the Red Rocket in there.
I don't know.
Yes.
And the dog agrees.
The dog agrees.
Yeah.
One bark for yes, two barks for no.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like Red Rocket, yes, all the way.
Now I'm thinking the South Park and Red Rocket.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
Not that.
Okay.
Now I'm going to think about Fallout 4 and Red Rocket.
That's safer.
Okay.
All right.
Next game up, we have New Orleans at the Atlanta Falcons.
A couple of indoor teams.
Yeah.
Both of them coming up losses.
Yeah.
It's at Atlanta.
At Atlanta.
Well, I'm going to, I'm going to give it to Atlanta.
I did too.
Okay, 24-17.
And I had 14-21.
So, again, a seven point game.
We each picked a seven point game.
Yeah, I think that that one, just because Atlanta is at home, and I think Kirk Cousins
played such a good game, he's really disappointed they lost.
Yeah.
I could see New Orleans having a hangover game from their spanking last week.
I think so too.
And Atlanta is like, wow, we did well, we almost won.
And they're going to come out and just.
They're going to well miss one against the Super Bowl champions.
Yeah, yeah.
That's going to slingshot Atlanta into victory this week.
I think so too.
And Kirk Cousins, we can't rule him out.
He's a very good quarterback.
Yeah, he surprises me.
He does, me too.
I've always considered him Mr. Mediocre, but boy, he looks good in Atlanta.
He's actually really good.
That system really suits him.
All right, who we got next?
Jacksonville at Houston.
Houston, of course.
Yeah, I'm going to pick Houston.
I think it's going to be 27 to three.
I think that CJ Stroud is going to get better, but not all the way.
He's going to look better, but he's not going to look like last year yet.
Yeah.
And I don't think he's ever going to get to last year quite this year.
He's going to get better, but I don't think he's going to quite be where he was last year,
because I think quite frankly the teams have a lot of tape on him.
Yeah.
And until he can start working with Diggs a little bit better,
he's probably going to be a little bit better than average.
You know, it's interesting you bring that up, because I'm also getting the feeling that Trevor Lawrence has peaked.
Yes.
It's not that he's going to suddenly, you know, suck and turn into a horrible quarterback,
but I think he's reached the pinnacle of his success, and he'll have good games here and there.
And he'll do some, you know, cumberfine from behind wins and things,
but I think he's really had his best stretch already.
I agree.
And I think it's just kind of not a quick rundown from here, but kind of a steady decline.
Yeah, I agree.
And everyone's going to be like, man, what happened to Trevor Lawrence?
He's not getting that second huge contract.
I don't think he is.
No.
I think this is it for him.
I think in five years he won't even be a backup.
He's just going to go do what he wants.
Bold prediction.
This upcoming draft, possibly the next one, Jacksonville is going to draft a quarterback high.
I agree.
They're realizing this is not the guy.
Yeah.
This is not the direction that they need to go.
And if nothing else, it sends a message to Trevor Lawrence, says, hey, we're looking for your replacement,
so step it up, dude.
Or trade for Bryce Young, if he's available.
I'll say he's not.
Yeah.
I'm talking about trading Bryce Young to Miami to save their season, because they're going nowhere.
I don't know if he's the guy, but, well, OK.
Let me put it like this.
You'll know about Bryce Young within two games.
True.
Yeah.
So far we're agreeing this is scary.
I know.
This means we're going to flush bad.
Yeah.
So you had Houston 27-3.
I've got Houston 28-13.
Pretty close, too.
Yeah.
You just afforded them a touchdown, really, and that's really about it.
Yeah.
That's the only difference, really.
Yeah.
All right.
Next up, we have Denver at the New York Jets.
I'm actually hoping I can watch this one, because I haven't been able to see Bo Nicks play yet.
I think it's going to be a very interesting game.
No, he's not a world-beater.
No.
But he's decent.
He's good.
Yeah.
Maybe Alessar Alex Smith.
Yeah.
I can see that.
Yeah.
Game manager role.
Yeah.
Always pretty much knows what's going on.
Competent.
Yeah.
Damning him with faint praise, aren't we?
Yeah, we are.
You're reasonable and average.
Yes.
Your performance was acceptable and adequate to the job.
But adequate, yes.
Adequate.
What a word, adequate.
It means you were good enough, but that's about it.
Good enough, that's it.
Yeah.
Basically, it means if you were even a little bit worse, we would have fired you.
Yes.
I mean, I fired – I followed Oregon last year because my mom had lived in Oregon for
a number of years, so I watched their football time.
And Bo Nix was a good quarterback in college.
I still think he's going to catch on.
I do, too.
Denver's going to have him for probably five years or so.
I agree.
In this game, I can see Aaron Rodgers just outplaying him as the crafty veteran, especially
since Rodgers has been doing better lately.
Yeah.
Oh, I've got to give it a score.
Yeah, I'm not giving it a score yet, but I'm still not sure.
Okay, I'm going to go with the Jets, and it's going to be 27-17.
Okay.
I think I'm going to go 21-13.
Okay.
So, low scoring.
The Jets kind of strike me as the team that's going to score enough to win each time they
win, but not a whole lot more.
Yeah, it's not.
Aaron Rodgers will show you some impressive stuff, but not as much as he used to.
Yeah.
All right.
We've got to quit agreeing on these.
This is weird.
I know.
We're going to lose bad.
All right.
Up next, we have Minnesota at Green Bay.
Sam Darnold's on fire.
He is.
I don't see it lasting forever.
I'm going to give Green Bay the nod, and it's going to be probably a 17-7.
All right.
Low scoring game.
Yes.
If it were later in the year, I'd be worried about what the weather was going to be in
Green Bay, but at this point in the season, it doesn't really matter.
Yeah, it's probably going to be decent.
I think I'm going to pick Minnesota 24-17.
To me, it doesn't seem as tough to win in Green Bay anymore.
No, it isn't.
It isn't.
Yeah.
I'm thinking Minnesota.
It's weird.
I was not on Minnesota at all this preseason, but they're finding a way to do it.
Even without Jester Jefferson, they're finding a way to do it.
Yeah.
I'm kind of bringing them back down to earth on this one, but we'll see.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, first one we disagree on, so that'll be...
That's good.
We need to disagree on a few of them.
Next up, Pittsburgh at Indianapolis.
Pittsburgh.
It's a division game.
Yeah, it's a division game.
They seem pretty evenly matched at this point.
They really do, but I'm going to give Mike Tomlin the edge.
Yeah, it's tough to go against Mike Tomlin.
24-21.
All right.
Remember to put these in the right order.
I think I'm going to go with Indy on this one.
Okay.
I just got a feeling.
27-17.
Oh, good.
We're not agreeing again.
Yeah.
27-17.
Okay.
I mean, I think Justin Fields is going to continue his progress, but he's never going
to be the guy, but I think he's going to be good enough system quarterback, and he can
improvise on the run, maybe run, maybe throw a little bit.
He'll be good enough to probably get them to the playoffs, but not much further.
Yeah.
You kind of hope at least he turns into a mentor quarterback for the next big thing.
I can see that happening too, but they got to find that guy that they want.
Yeah.
The only thing right now I can think of that would break Chicago's quarterback curse is
the fact that they're getting a new stadium.
Yeah.
They're going to say, okay, new stadium, new start, just wash away all the old curses and
ghosts.
Yeah, soldier field is like a graveyard of quarterbacks.
It is.
Man, that field just seems so much.
Yeah.
Just enormous amount of football played on those blades of grass.
Oh, I know.
Okay.
Who is next?
Next is the Rams at Chicago.
We were just talking about Chicago.
Ellie Rams at Chicago Bears.
The Rams are playing at a high level.
Yeah.
The Rams have a good defense.
I think they're going to terrorize Caleb Williams.
Yeah, I think the defense will.
I think it's going to be probably 29-13.
Interesting score.
All right.
Yeah, I really don't feel like I can pick the Chargers, I mean the Bears this week.
So I'm also going to go with the Rams.
I'm going to go for a closer game.
I think I'm going to go 2017.
Okay.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, I think that the Rams are getting things together, and I think Chicago is just in a
purgatory with Caleb Williams.
Yeah.
Each week is like a whole brand new team.
Yeah, yeah, I think they don't have a direction or a plan of action or even a game plan probably.
Yeah.
It's just aloof, and aloof does not get it in the NFL.
Aloof gets you killed.
That's true.
Next one is?
We got Philadelphia at Tampa Bay.
Okay, I think Tampa Bay is due for a comeback game, and I'm not sold on Philadelphia.
I think they're good, but not great.
Philadelphia's been showing a lot of cracks in the armor, but I still think it's going to be enough to beat Tampa Bay.
Okay.
And I'm going to do that, a lower score game, 24-21.
All right, home team by three points.
I'm going to go Philly on this one.
This is, I think, is one of the games where they're going to get up for their opponent.
No, I agree, but you think it's going to be more of a win than I got it.
Yeah, I think Eagles are going to do 27-20.
Okay.
I think Baker Mayfield is, I have a good feeling that the Philadelphia defense can handle Baker Mayfield.
I agree.
I've just kind of got that feeling.
I'm not sure how I can just explain it, but I just think Baker Mayfield is going to struggle to throw the ball.
I think you're right.
I don't think he's corrected.
I thought he was, but I think that he's being inconsistent like he was before.
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
I don't know.
It's kind of one of those games that I didn't even really want to watch, because the Eagles just kind of bore me.
The Eagles bore the hell out of me.
Jalen Hurts is another injury waiting to happen.
Yeah.
And when you do that, then you really don't have that much of anything else.
True.
Well.
I think that's going to change eventually because the league is not going to be able to handle what's happening to Miami, happening anywhere else.
No.
Your quarterback goes down, your whole season is just destroyed.
The problem with Tagovaiola is he brought this on himself.
He should have taken a page out of the homes and lay down.
Yep.
Then if they hit you, you get the 15 points, or the 15 yards, not the points, 15 yards, and you're probably going to be okay because you're already on the ground.
But that running helmet first into the guy, he knew he was not going to get past Hamlin.
Yeah.
That was such a bad decision.
Yeah.
As someone on the radio was saying, he made a business decision for the franchise that wasn't his domain.
Well, it wasn't his domain.
Yeah.
That was a pretty good way of putting it.
That is a great way of putting it.
Think of all the money they've invested in him.
He owes it to the organization to safeguard what they've invested in.
Oh, I agree.
That was so cringe-worthy, wasn't it?
It was like, ooh.
Yeah.
And his neck snapped a little bit too, which is never good.
Yeah.
It's like I was just waiting for him to start posturing again on the field with his hands all crinkling up.
Yeah.
That's what I was waiting for too.
The neurological signs.
Yeah.
And we'll see how he manages going forward with his career.
But for right now, that's...
If he has one.
Yeah.
We'll see.
All right.
Next on our list is the Patriots at the 49ers.
Okay.
I know nothing about when anyone is supposed to be coming back, but I know that Brock Purdy is still a solid quarterback.
I know you have Brandon Hiuk, and you also have George Kittle.
And we are talking about New England Patriots that are not doing that good.
No.
Also, I'm going to think San Francisco is going to paddle them really good.
And I think it's going to be 34 to 10.
Wow.
I've got a...
I'm giving the New England seven points.
I think that's all they're going to score.
I could see that easily.
San Francisco, I think, is going to put up...
I'll put 31.
Okay.
We both have it up.
So that's like four touchdowns in a field hole.
Oh, they're going to be snapping mad too.
They lost.
You know, they lost and didn't necessarily look good.
Yeah.
You know they're going to be madder than the Wet Hornet.
Yeah.
They're going to go after them.
Yeah.
And that was a division game they lost to the Rams.
Yeah.
So that hurts them twice.
Yeah.
So they're going to have to bounce back really well on that, and I think they will.
Yeah.
Well.
All right.
Good high scoring game.
Yeah.
Next up is Washington at...
Excuse me.
At Arizona.
Okay.
Jaden Daniels looks fantastic.
He does.
He may not look quite as fantastic in this game, but he's still going to look good, and
he's building, and he's getting confidence.
He's getting good coaching, obviously.
He is excellent.
So I think he's going to continue the momentum with the commanders.
I think Arizona is one of those teams that you don't know who's going to show up.
True.
But I think that Washington has enough of an identity now, and know who they are enough
now, to pull off a pretty decent win against Arizona.
I think it's going to be 24 to 14.
I agree with you about Washington.
When I watched that game last...
Well, last night it was.
Washington's quarterback was having a blast.
He was smiling.
He was jumping.
He was enjoying himself.
He realized he can do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you can see.
He was remembering all the good times that he's had, how winning football teams, and
yeah, that seemed like kind of a breakthrough for him.
Who's Jaden's barista?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, they're all clamoring and clapping and throwing money at me.
It's a guy.
Yeah, he's up.
He's way.
Yeah, he was having fun.
His enthusiasm was just...
It was excellent.
His enthusiasm was enthralling.
Yes.
He was just a kid in a Brock's commercial.
Yep.
If you don't know what Brock's is looking up, I don't even think they're around anymore.
Probably not.
Yeah.
So, B-R-A-C-H-S?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, look it up, kids.
Okay.
I've got Washington 26-10 over Arizona.
Sounds good.
That might be a little bit of a
low on the end for Arizona, but I just think they're going to maybe have a letdown.
Washington's going to come in and just do well, and Arizona's going to get inconsistent.
Arizona really doesn't seem to have much of a home field advantage.
Nobody's there.
Yeah.
There's so much else to do.
Yeah.
I mean, none of those little walkers or those little rascals can get up to the upper deck,
so forget it.
Plus, you know, after like three o'clock, it's everyone's nap time anyway.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Yeah.
The geriatric team.
Yeah.
So, it's all going to be probably the Washington fans traveling, because now they're all stoked
on Jayden.
That's true.
They've got lots of incentive to start traveling and coming into the season.
Yeah, they have not had a reason to be this excited in a long time.
Yeah.
And I think that this excitement is going to carry over, and there's going to be a lot
of them there.
Oh hell, the big boost is Dan Snyder doesn't own the team anymore.
Well, yeah, that's true.
That guy was so awful.
Oh, I know.
It's just that...
The thing is, Arizona, their seats are up for grabs.
Yeah.
I'm just going to see it happening.
So, and also Arizona fans never remind me of a very loud, boisterous crowd.
No, no.
I've never seen them really make a difference in the game.
Yeah.
So, I think Washington all the way, a building on Jayden Daniels coming out.
So there we go.
All righty.
Up next, Casey Chiefs at the Los Angeles Chargers.
Well, Jim Harbaugh is murder on us.
Yes, he is.
Always has been.
I think it's going to continue.
I hate saying this, but I think he's going to beat us 24 to 21.
And I think this could serve as a wake-up call.
And I certainly hope so.
Yeah.
When I did my season prediction, I had the Chiefs losing three games, and I thought all
three were going to come in the first half of the season.
Yes.
And I think this is going to be one of them.
Yeah.
I think that they're going to control the game well enough to win.
It's not going to be flashy.
You're not going to see Herbert making any type of miracle throw.
But at the same time, you're not going to see the Holmes doing a whole lot either.
I agree.
Yeah.
I just read this morning that the Chargers safety, Derwin James.
Is out.
Is out for our repeated unnecessary roughness.
Yeah, malicious dirty hits.
Yeah.
So that's good because the Holmes didn't have to worry about getting his career taken away
by some idiot.
Yeah.
I mean, I wasn't worried to get out the guy as a safety.
I was worried about him coming in as an assassin, like the old hockey enforcer to come in and
just knock my Holmes out of the game.
That's a good one.
Yeah, that's a good analogy.
I'm glad the NFL stepped in and did something.
Also, they're bread and butter, they're bread and butters of people like the Holmes, Josh
Allen, stuff like that.
Lamar Jackson.
Their bread and butter are the quarterbacks and they know it.
I don't think it's even a close comparison the way quarterback jerseys sell as opposed
to any defensive player.
No.
Chris Jones, one of the best out there.
This jersey is so far away from Kelsey and the Holmes, it's incredible.
Yeah.
The public votes with their purchases that they want offensive players.
They like the offense.
They want to see more offense.
They still love the big hits and the big stops and stuff, but for the most part, they'd be
happy with like the arena football, the indoor football league where they run up the scores
like 76 to 64 because there was no punting and everybody's scared.
Yeah, keep going.
I think there's a lot of NFL fans that would love that.
Oh, I want to go back to the Washington Bengals game here real quick last night.
Do you notice Washington was not afraid, not afraid to go for it on fourth down ever.
They did it several times.
They did it successfully and they pulled it off great.
Yeah, I mean, I really enjoyed that.
They did not.
They didn't flinch.
They're like, we know we can do this.
Do the fourth down.
They could have kicked a field goal.
They did it.
Yeah.
And that's important to give your team the message that we're going for touchdowns.
So when we can get one, we're not going to settle for a field.
I think it's such a confidence booster for this team.
It's like you guys are going to do it and you're going to get it.
I know you are, so go out there and do it.
And some really good design plays.
Really clever.
Really made the Bengals look foolish a few times.
I'm always all for that.
I'm all for that too.
Well, my prediction on the Chiefs Chargers game is I'm going to go Chargers 30, Chiefs
17.
Oh, okay.
I think Mahomes is going to struggle throughout the game.
Carson Steele isn't going to be able to run the way he did last week.
Yeah.
And I think the Chargers are going to get ahead and stay ahead and never let up.
Okay.
A lot of teams, when they're up by a couple of scores, they'll start slowing it down.
I think Chargers are just going to keep going and going and going.
They're going to try to make a statement against the Chiefs.
So we both got the Chargers beating the Chiefs this week, unfortunately.
Yeah, unfortunately, but we both feel the same way about it.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, I just think it's going to be really close and you don't.
Yeah.
I can see it getting away from them late.
I can see that happening too.
I can see that happening too, but to me, I mean, it's such a rivalry.
I think the Holmes will find a way to keep him in it.
I hope, yeah.
But may not.
There's going to be a lot of yelling along the sidelines during the game.
Oh, there's going to be a lot of improvisation substitutions and penalties.
Yeah.
There's going to be a lot of illegal substitutions.
There's going to be a lot of chess playing on the spot.
It's going to get him penalties and whoever our left tackle is, whoever he is, he's going
to commit a couple of penalties.
Yeah.
And the left tackle?
Yeah, left tackle.
Yeah.
It was who they said it was.
Juwan Taylor and then the white.
Juwanya Morris.
Juwanya Morris, yeah.
But the rookie they took out, Kingsley, Sua.
Sua, Mottrell or something like that.
Yeah.
I'll have to look at his name again, but Juwan Taylor's on the right side.
He's the right tackle.
Oh, yeah.
Right tackle.
That's right.
Okay.
So right now it's Juwanya Morris who was supposed to start, but then the rookie took his spot
away during training camp, but now Morris is back in.
Yeah.
The right tackle is going to commit a couple.
We know this.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Then Kelsey will yell at Andy Reid again.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, I don't know.
I don't know about that.
I don't think he will anymore.
He looks really aloof.
He does.
Yeah.
He's just like, whatever.
You know, I didn't believe it at first, but then I started analyzing it and watching it
and looking at it.
And I think there might be something to it, unfortunately.
Yeah.
Next up, we have Cleveland at Vegas.
Yeah.
Boy, this is a tough one to me.
It is.
Man, it's tough to pick either one.
I mean, it's not like you think either one's a world-beater.
No, no.
Since it's at Las Vegas, I'm going to go with the home team.
Okay.
Barely.
24, 23.
I'm really losing my confidence in the Raiders doing much this season.
I get it.
So I'm going to go with Cleveland in this one.
I can see that happening just as easy, actually.
I'm going to make this bold.
I'm going to go 27-12.
I'm going to say Vegas gets four field goals.
Okay.
I like that.
Yeah.
So Gardner Mintchew is going to be on his ass a lot.
Yep.
I'm going to say Adams is going to scream and yell and get pissed and start thinking
about trading.
He's not there very long.
We know this.
The Raiders on the wall.
He's leaving.
I mean, he went to Vegas from Green Bay because Derek Carr was there.
And then the very next season, they get rid of Derek Carr.
And then he was like, okay, Antonio Pierce, our new head coach, I kind of believe in him.
We got Garoppolo.
And then Garoppolo last season, he's gone.
Yeah.
I'm getting the order mixed up a little here.
I know that.
No, no, no.
And now they got Gardner Mintchew.
And Devontae's like, okay, I've lost three seasons counting this one.
I can't afford this.
I don't know why he ever left Green Bay in the first place.
I mean.
For the money and for Derek.
Well, Derek Carr was his college roommate.
Yeah.
Wasn't he?
So he's like, I want to go play with Derek Carr.
I'm going to get paid.
Vegas has a swagger.
And then Derek Carr was let go.
Yeah.
And before he was let go, he was benched.
Yeah.
And I don't think that I said so again, everyone take a pong rip.
So I think Devontae Adams is really starting to lose his infatuation with Vegas.
I would agree.
And I think he's thinking, you know what?
I can go somewhere else and have just as much fun.
So we'll see how long he sticks it out there.
But I think the really, as they said, the bloom is off the rose.
Yeah, the bloom is off the rose.
The Raiders have been taken out of their original packaging and they're no longer worth as much.
The clear plastic came off of it.
Yes.
It was, you know, content settled during shipping.
Yeah.
Only half of it was really there.
And your mileage may vary.
Yes.
And don't drink the battery acid.
Yes.
It's sad that they have to tell us not to drink the battery acid.
Well, like the meme that I saw that I had to pass on was a owner manual in 1962 told
you how to adjust the points.
Now it tells you not to drink the battery acid.
That's all you need to know about America.
Yeah.
They devote three chapters on how to use the car's entertainment system.
And they devote like two pages on maintenance and maintaining.
Yeah, changing the oil.
Take care.
But realistically speaking, they'd rather everyone just go to the dealer.
No, that's why that's another reason they don't do this.
Oh, you're going to have to have this done at the dealer anyhow, so don't worry about
it.
Yeah.
Like a good old sealed transmission.
Yeah.
You can't add anything.
It's sealed.
I think I have a sealed transmission.
I had a car with a sealed radiator system.
Yeah, you see, either way it's got to go to the dealer.
Yeah.
It's like, you're done, man.
And if you have any type of warranty at all and you take it to anybody, then they're going
to get you.
They can avoid your warranty if you don't take it from them.
Yeah.
Yep.
Next up, we have Buffalo at Baltimore.
Okay, well.
That's probably the Sunday night game, I think.
I would hope so because Monday night's having two games again.
Isn't that weird?
I know.
They didn't do the first one, but now they're doing it.
I don't know if they're doing it, well, they're doing it next week, I don't know if they're
doing it the week after.
It kind of looks to me like they're setting up a pattern there.
Yeah.
It makes kind of sense in that you get kind of gambling overload on Sunday, and then Monday
there's only one game to gamble on.
So by bumping one of the other games to Monday night, then there's still pretty much everything
you want to bet on, you find enough to bet on on Sunday.
But now on Monday night, there's two games to bet on.
Yeah.
So that increases gambling revenue for Monday night without really taking much away from
Sunday.
Their second multiple game day, they're not really tearing into a team too bad.
The Thursday night games really kind of tear into them more than this does.
So yeah, it makes perfect sense if you're the NFL.
And then when they add the 18th game, then we'll see.
They'll probably put all three of them on Monday, and it's going to be essentially another.
Awesome.
Yeah, awesome.
I think the Thanksgiving day is going to be a great big moneymaker for gambling revenue
this year because you're going to have the noon game, the three o'clock game, and the
evening game.
And pretty much the entire civilized part of the United States is off work that day.
Drinking beer, drinking wine, drinking whatever.
They're all gathered together talking about sports and stuff.
It's just perfect setup to just gamble your ass off all day long on all these games.
I think that's just, their NFL's eyes are just lighting up at the prospect of Thanksgiving
day and how much money they're going to make.
If they could add a fourth game, they'd probably try to do it.
Put one on at like nine in the morning from London or something.
It'll probably happen next year.
Probably.
Well, it has been.
Well getting back to Buffalo Baltimore.
Okay, Buffalo, they're going to continue their winning ways.
I would think so.
I'm going to say 28 to 20.
Sounds reasonable.
Yeah.
I don't think they're going to go off on them.
I think that was done and it's out of the system now, I think.
So Baltimore is going to contain them a little bit more, but not enough to win.
Let's see.
I think I'm going to go Buffalo 30 to 17.
I feel like I picked that score for the Chiefs and Chargers game too, only the other way
around.
I can also see Lamar Jackson going down with an injury in this game.
Yeah, I'm throwing.
I think Jackson is either going to get hurt and be out for a bit or he's going to throw
one really horrible interception late.
Because he's just taking too much on himself.
Which is kind of the problem.
Yeah, that's kind of the hallmark of his career is he takes the responsibility when he doesn't
really need to.
Yeah, he's going above his level.
Yeah, and he's taking so much risk, taking so much on himself.
The team needs to meet him halfway.
He sure step up like that, but the team step up to meet him.
Instead, it's just like Lamar Jackson is like, screw you guys, I'm going to do everything.
I'm going to run, I'm going to pass, I'm going to score.
He probably wants to go in there and kick field goals too.
Probably.
But he's shortening his career and shortening each season by doing that.
Well, Justin Tucker is not as good as he used to be.
How the mighty have fallen.
Justin don't touch my balls, Tucker.
That's right.
What an asshole.
Oh gosh.
So we got to get on that one.
Monday night games.
First one is Tennessee at Miami.
Miami is in shambles.
It is.
Shambles.
It would have been so easy to pick this game if it wasn't for two as injury.
35 to 10, Tennessee.
And I'm not really, Tennessee is not that good, but I think it's just going to illustrate
how bad Miami has fallen.
Tyreek is probably going to have a meltdown and get thrown out.
I could see that.
Yeah.
And then it could get to the point where Tyreek starts having mystery illnesses that keep
him out a week here, a week there.
That's probably going to happen first.
They don't have his Tyreid.
This is the last year of his contract, isn't it?
Yeah, I believe it is.
Yeah, they haven't even talked to him.
The contract where he said when this contract was over he was going to retire?
Yeah, he's not retiring yet.
I think he's going to make a pitch to the Chiefs.
Make a pitch to the Chiefs.
I would think so, but.
You got the big money.
I don't think the Chiefs.
Damn, would you invite that loudmouth attitude and his willingness to blurt to the press
whatever's on his mind?
You were going to welcome that back to the Chiefs.
I don't know.
I think it played a big role in why they didn't re-sign him.
When he mowed off to him and tried to force their hand, they're like, let him go.
We wouldn't have sold on him anyhow.
He's never going to shut up no matter what.
Yeah, he's like a million dollar talent with a nickel mind.
He says just stupid shit.
I like the guy considerably.
He shows a lot of immaturity.
Yeah, he's so physically gifted.
He's got such a work ethic.
Very driven, very success and goal-oriented.
Yeah, lacking in self-control and discipline in some areas.
Not all the time, but often enough to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
I could see him going to Buffalo or the Ravens.
Probably not Cincinnati.
God forbid the Raiders.
No, he wanted to go to a team that's ready-made for the playoffs.
He thought the Dolphins were.
And barring that, I think a big city like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, he's going
to look at those and see are these guys ready?
Do they need me to push them over the edge?
There's going to be a lot of different options after this too and some of them we're not
even thinking of because it's going to, during the season, certain things are going to happen
that we don't know about.
Yeah, there are going to be injuries, there are going to be retirements.
Yeah, stuff like that.
So it's going to end up being probably something we never even expected.
But I don't expect him in Miami again.
He strikes me as the kind of guy who wears out his welcome wherever he goes.
Well, I think their window is shut.
Yeah, he does.
Yeah, their window is definitely closing.
And he's a player that you get tired of because of certain things.
And I really don't hear much about the Miami defense anymore.
No, they got a, what's his name, the pass rusher, but he really doesn't seem to be Ramsey.
Yeah.
He doesn't seem to be a force that he was at one time.
When Cheetah went there to begin with, they had a better defense.
Yeah.
But they've been neglecting it.
Probably because they have to pay their offensive players so much.
Well, that was one of the things, man.
They had to pay Tua a lot of money.
Yeah.
They had to pay Hill a lot of money and Waddle.
Yeah.
And there's some other players on Ramsey.
I'm sure they didn't get very cheap.
And then whatever cap penalties they had hanging over him for the past few years.
Probably.
Yeah.
So I think that they are in a bad position and I don't look for them to change.
Yeah.
I'm on board.
I'm thinking 27-13.
Okay.
Tennessee is not going to score quite as much.
And I see Miami trying all game long.
Yeah.
So it's not like they're going to get three quarters where they score nothing.
They're going to dribble their points out over the course of the game.
So I'm thinking 13.
Okay.
Sounds good.
So that's three opportunities to score.
Okay.
All right.
So we've done our last game, Seattle at Detroit, which I'm kind of surprised.
I'm kind of excited for this game.
Yeah.
I enjoy watching Detroit play and I've always liked Seattle as a team, even when they were
in the AFC West all those years ago.
Yeah.
I can't remember what year they switched.
It was in the 90s, wasn't it?
It was in the 90s, yeah.
They switched from AFC West to the NFC West.
Yeah.
Mike Holmgren wasn't even a coach yet over there.
Yeah.
He was probably the GM coach or whatever.
Yeah.
So yeah, I think it was the 90s.
Yeah.
I think Holmgren was still in Green Bay.
So they came into the league in 76, so they spent about 20 years in the AFC West.
Now they've spent more than that in the NFC West, which is odd to think about because
I still think of them as our old division rivals.
They were.
Yeah.
And there's always a good rivalry too.
It was.
It was always a hard fought game.
They had Kenny Easley.
Kenny Easley.
He had a very defensive back and man, he was a heavy hitter.
Yes, he was.
He just destroyed people.
I think he eventually had a kidney ailment that ended his life.
I think you're right.
Yeah.
He was, oh man, he was one of those players you love to hate.
I mean, while he was playing and he's out on the field, he's like, no, don't hit him.
But it was just so much fun to watch him play.
I forgot all about Easley, tell you the truth.
Yeah.
They also had Dave Smallfinger's fumble where Craig.
Dave Craig.
He was bizarrely enough eligible for the Hall of Fame and is on the list.
He's on the list.
Yeah.
He's one of the possibles.
Dave Craig.
I don't get it.
But you know, I think the NFL Hall of Fame is going the way of the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, which is.
Just get them in there.
Yeah.
To heck if they're qualified, are they going to bring visitors?
If they are, put them in.
Yeah.
You know, like Dolly Parton, she's never played rock and roll music in her entire life, but
she would bring visitors, so they snub her in there.
Iron Maiden is still denied.
Yeah.
Well, if Iron Maiden sold six million copies every year, they'd be in there.
Internationally, they do.
Cha-ching.
Internationally, they are one of the best selling bands ever, but they're not looking
at that.
They're looking at American.
Yeah.
Plus Heavy Metal and Harder Rock has always been snubbed by the entertainment industry
to some degree.
Well, yeah, that's true.
That's true.
Seattle, Detroit.
Phew.
Gino Smith, he's going to get in the yappy, isn't he?
Yeah.
That's why I'm going to give Detroit a little added flavor.
Yeah.
I'm going to say Detroit by three, and I'm going to say it's going to be Detroit 24, and
I'm going for 20.
24, 20.
I could really kind of go either way on this, so I think I'm going to go the opposite of
you.
You're going to go with Seattle?
Yeah.
I'm going to go 21, 17, Seattle.
I can see that happening, too.
I'd be more comfortable with this if we were in Seattle.
It's in Detroit, but I'm going to go ahead and do that because-
I could see that happening very easily.
I picked a lot of safe picks last weekend.
I lost six.
Yeah.
That's the one that might take it right there.
If I'm going to do badly this week, it's going to be because I took some chances.
Then you have the reasons like, look, man, I went out on the limb for all this stuff,
so I probably shouldn't have ran.
I had balls, man.
I had balls.
Yes.
All right.
Well, we'll see.
We both probably suck, but we'll see.
Thank God I don't gamble on this stuff.
Oh, no, no, that's why we have the podcast.
We get all the sound of it so we don't go gambling.
All right.
Realistically speaking, when the Chiefs are playing the Chargers, I'm probably going to
be down at the open jam at Knuckleheads anyway.
Okay, cool.
Because I'd rather be down there playing my drums than sitting on the couch watching the
Chiefs get beat by the Chargers.
I wouldn't, would you?
But I was out of town.
I was coming back from- Oh, no, no, I was going.
I was going.
That was Sunday when I went out there.
I was going to the supposed Mozart Fest.
Yeah.
But ironically enough, the indoor part, the quilts, they were still going.
Yeah.
On that message I sent, they said, but you can still come to the quilts and the something
else show, the quilts and crafts show.
Yeah.
I'm like, fuck you.
Yeah.
If you're having trouble sleeping, go to the quilts and crafts show.
Yeah.
There was no way to email them back, but I put no and no.
Okay.
So there's our predictions.
Yeah.
Bullet points.
Give me the bullets.
All right.
Caleb Williams, another skeleton in the graveyard of quarterbacks.
Two pass touchdowns, four interceptions, 65.3 rating.
Horrible.
Yeah.
It almost makes you want the league to put a prohibition on the Chicago ref, saying,
you can't draft quarterbacks anymore.
They need to have a law system like the NBA.
Yeah.
They go, oh, you didn't get it, Chicago.
We're sorry.
And Carolina too.
Seriously, now that you mentioned that, think about it.
They're sending the best players to the worst teams.
To the worst teams.
And in theory, that's going to help these bad teams get better, but that presumes that
the team knows what they're doing.
Carolina and Chicago.
Yeah.
You can look at them.
Yeah.
Think of the quarterbacks throughout the league history that could have been amazing and could
have been in the hall of fame.
Yeah, but they were just destroyed because, yeah.
Yeah.
I think Josh Freeman was one of them.
Not necessarily hall of fame, but he could have been a 10-year quarterback if they'd
been able to handle him better.
My understanding, because he came from Granville.
Yeah.
And knowing people that know him, he had a lot of demons that people did not know about.
He might have been better, but I don't know how far he could have went with some of the
stuff that I've been hearing.
Yeah.
And I think that would have qualified as handling him better, create a safe environment for
him.
Yeah.
And if he's not doing anything overtly illegal, then you can accommodate a lot.
Does he gamble a lot?
Well, that's legal.
Yeah.
Does he run around with women a lot?
Well, that's legal.
That's legal, yeah.
Does he have a cocaine problem?
Well, that's not legal.
We got to deal with this.
Well, I mean, some of it is like you're... From what I've heard is like dedication-related,
like practice hours.
Right.
One of the things that I heard that heard him in Tampa was is he didn't show up for
a... And this is allegedly, but I heard from pretty good source was this right here.
He did not show up to a Cripples Children's Fundraiser.
Him and his entourage were out partying.
And I heard that Greg Ciano, the coach at the time, was furious.
He said, that guy will never start on my team ever again.
So similar to Johnny Manziel.
A lot.
Who went to Vegas and partied instead of sticking around Cleveland to play and just totally
missed the game.
He stayed in Vegas and stayed drunk while the Browns were out there playing without
him.
And that was a senator from Missouri, Ron Freeman.
So I'm sure he was brought up like, you're going to be something.
You're going to be something.
Yeah.
So-
And his family owned barber shops too.
Yeah.
So I mean, that really connects you to a community.
They were really affluent.
Yeah.
And they were also really well thought of.
So that probably put more pressure on them.
So Josh Freeman, I think, could have been better, but I don't know where the limit was
because he had certain things that were probably going to always take away.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
Anyhow.
Maybe 10 years from now, the league would have been a better place for him to fit into,
but not right now.
Yeah.
I agree.
So I think that Chicago is horrible.
And I think that Caleb Williams, I'll put this like this.
CJ Stroud, if he was with Andy Reid right now, he would be doing fine.
Yeah.
But if he was with Williams, if he was with Andy Reid or another quarterback, Jim Harbaugh,
something like that, if he was with a better coach, he would be a much better player.
And this goes back to what you were saying about, we take the best players and give them
to the worst teams so they can destroy them.
Yeah.
Especially with a quarterback who is so complex and their confidence is fragile.
Yeah.
You know, you can throw a running back in there his first season in the league, no problem.
Yeah.
But if it's a little tougher, quarterbacks, it's real tough.
I got an idea.
You take the top four teams or the bottom four teams, not top four, take the bottom
four teams and you give them Caleb Williams for one game.
Ah.
And whoever uses him the best, he looks the best in, you leave him there.
That would be fun.
Yeah, it would.
And here comes a four team competition.
The first one on the dock, it is Chicago.
He lays a goose egg.
They're okay.
All right.
He's got like 10.
Shit, I forgot who else.
I don't know.
Too snappy right now.
Yes, this is a Hattie.
Better than Burrow.
That's what the little markets go.
Better than Burrow.
I like that.
He doesn't smoke cigars.
Okay, good.
Doesn't go gray on his stupid haircut.
Oh yeah, those frosted tits.
Yeah.
That was just so awful.
Horrible.
Oh my God.
He looks like one of those.
Are you kidding me?
He looks like one of those.
Horrible.
Oh my God.
He looks like one of those emo band goons.
Are you a teenager from the 90s?
What are you, man?
He looks like an emo band singer.
I see him up there like down at one of the open mics.
Yeah.
Singing Blink 182 or something.
Yeah, while he drinks his wheatgrass.
Yes.
And his kale side salad.
Mixed messages, Joey.
Mixed messages, Dan.
Yes.
And I go back to kale was a joke.
Yeah.
They never meant it to catch on.
They were going, hey, watch this.
We're going to throw this garbage out.
And then everyone liked it and they had to leave it.
They're like, oh my God.
I don't know what to say.
Everybody loves it.
Yeah.
It's garbage.
If you like kale, you're a liar.
Yeah.
You don't like it.
You're trying to act cool.
Yeah.
It's one of those things that everyone just presumed everyone else liked it, so they just
went along with it.
Yeah.
So they just went along with it.
So Joey Muro likes kale and wheatgrass.
He always smokes kale.
Oh, he eats seaweed as a treat, too.
You know those little bars of seaweed?
Oh, those are so awful.
This is better than Snickers.
I just love fucking on a dead fish.
Not making fun of people's speech impediments.
That was him with a big giant hunk of seaweed in his mouth.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
We better move along.
Ravens smashed Dallas, but they almost let them back in.
Yeah.
Are the Ravens that good, getting better, or not that good?
And that's how come Dallas got to sneak back in there as bad as they are.
You know, I'm going to say that the Ravens are that good, and Dallas getting back in
it was-
Was a result of laying off.
They were probably massaging the game to keep it close.
And it's under the pretense of we don't want to get anyone injured.
Yeah.
They always got that built-in excuse.
Yeah.
How come you let up?
Well, we don't want to get anyone injured.
It's amazing how many excuses and reasonable explanations they have for all the things
they do to fix the game right in front of our eyes.
And let's be real.
Did you ever feel like the game was in jeopardy?
No.
Yeah.
No, it wasn't.
We knew this.
No.
You know, if necessary, at the end, one of the Dallas players would have committed a
backbreaking penalty, or one of the Dallas defenders would have fallen down on pass coverage.
It's like, I read a book in the 80s about a mythical franchise that started from nowhere
and was going to play in the Super Bowl, their very first year of existence.
And the league wanted them to win, so it was doing everything possible so they would win.
And the night before the game, the other team's best defender was talking to the quarterback
and said, OK, first time I see you keep two people in the backfield in their pass protection,
I'm going to fall down.
And that was the deal they made.
And how in the world do you ever catch them?
Because all he does is say, OK, he kept both backs in, so I'm going to fall down, and
now he knows he can throw in my guy and score an easy touchdown.
That's how easy it is to fix a game.
And this was 40 years ago.
And let's face it, that is, we see that all the time.
How did that happen?
I've seen defenders just fall down for no reason all the time.
And also, pass interference is a great way.
It's like, OK, well, we need this closer.
I'm going to wrap this guy up before he catches it.
And then a lot of times, the ball wasn't catchable anyhow, but they go with it.
They go with the narrative.
They're like, OK, well, he did pass interference, but the ball wasn't catchable,
but we're not going to worry about that.
We're going to go ahead and call it.
They tell us that only one defender and the quarterback have radio communication in their helmet.
I think a lot more players do.
I think they do, too.
I've always thought that.
So when a play is coming up, they call in on the slot cornerback and say, OK, this is the play where you let him score.
So he'll fall down.
And then he goes ahead and falls down.
And everyone's like, oh, my god, he slipped on the turf and they scored.
And the defender jumps up sick, like, oh, so terrible.
But he did what he was told.
Yeah, I think so, too.
I think there's a lot more of that going on than anyone would ever be comfortable with or think about.
Yeah.
You know, it's not happening all the time.
It's not happening a ton, but it's happening enough.
Enough.
And it's very clear that there are multiple opportunities during every game where they can push it one way or another
without actually deciding the income right then.
Yes.
When it gets down to the end, now they've got to be really careful because they're deciding the outcome.
But if it's in like the third quarter, you can kill a team's drive and make it look legit and destroy their momentum.
Well, yeah, all it takes is someone slipping or wrapping up on a pass interference or holding.
Yeah.
You can do anything to manipulate the game.
Holding is usually done by the offense.
But there's those rare times when you get defensive holding, which really, how does that happen?
It's usually when a defensive back is holding a receiver.
Yeah.
So all they've got to do is that.
And it's like, OK, well, there you go.
It happened with the Eagles against the Chiefs.
That could have been manipulated.
Remember the holding call?
It wasn't that blatant, but it was holding and it could have been called.
So it wasn't incorrect.
It's just sometimes it isn't called in that context.
But when he had a little bit of the jersey coming out while your hand's there,
he was doing some type of holding.
OK.
Yeah.
Now, how easily could that be manipulated?
Yeah.
As they say, you could call holding on every play because it just happens.
Well, there you go.
They pick and choose which win to call it so they can make the game turn out the way they want it to.
OK.
Find some penalty somewhere this time.
Yeah.
And then the players could be told, do something that looks like a penalty.
Have you noticed in NFL television coverage that they almost never show the teams in the huddle?
If they do, it's like a super close up.
Whereas they used to show the whole field.
Now, I'm not saying this is exact correlation, but also have you noticed what they don't show
while they're not showing the teams in the huddles is there's one official that's standing close to the offensive huddle
and listening to the play they're calling.
There's one official standing next to the defensive huddle and listening to the calls and adjustments they make.
And the referees have radio communication with each other.
So they know going into the play, they know what play is being called and what defense is likely.
So they know where to look to try to find a penalty if they need to find one in that play.
That's a good point.
Or as the team is breaking the huddle, the referee is standing next to the left tackle
and the tackle is walking by, the ref says, okay, hold on this play.
See how easy it is.
Or it could be hand signals in case someone does mic it accidentally and then someone gets a hold of it.
It could be hand signals.
And it could even be a simple matter of adding something onto the play call.
That's what I think. I think it's like plus 42.
17 trips left, mic right on three, and then they just add like able at the end.
And that means left guard, you're going to hold and get caught.
See how easy it is.
I'm not saying it's happening, but look at how easy it could be done.
I'm saying it did happen before.
We're not sure where, but I'm convinced it did happen because anywhere there's money to be earned, there's corruption.
Over 100 years ago, there was a team that threw the World Series on purpose.
Yeah, the Black Sox.
So they could get paid.
Oh gosh, it does happen, doesn't it?
Yes. And all of them have been banned.
Yeah, and now we're learning.
Remember when the Americans beat the Russians, the Miracle and the Olympics in 84?
Yeah, the hockey.
Now we're learning that that was all paid for in advance.
Wow.
Yeah, the Russian team.
So the three to the gold, the two to the gold, the one to the gold was all bullshit.
It was all set up and paid for in advance because Reagan really wanted a big win.
Because Reagan had just got elected.
Just like the Contra scam.
Let him go the day I take office.
It created such a stir of patriotism and love for America that Reagan was able to get away with sketchy shit for a couple more years.
It was actually quite brilliant if you think about it.
Yeah, and that's why it happened.
They lied to us like, oh, there's a miracle on ice, isn't it?
No, it's bought and paid for.
Everybody was all warm in their belly and having American flags.
That's exactly what they wanted us to feel and they made it happen.
Two days later they're flipping off in traffic.
That's what's so discouraging is even all the things that we're supposed to feel good about ourselves and feel good about our country, it is propaganda.
Oops.
It's bullshit, but I still say that it was brilliant on Reagan's administration to do it like that though.
Because people don't see it coming like that.
When Clinton was in trouble and getting impeached, all of a sudden, oh, we have to go bomb Kosovo now.
Yes.
Big distraction over there.
Got to take the heat off us.
And people are starting to say with the whole thing about P. Diddy, okay, what are they distracting us from?
Oh, I'm getting ready for something to come up.
Yeah.
Something's going to come up.
Yeah, they're going to have to distract us and help us forget about it and then he's going to show up dead in a jail cell.
Yeah, he's going to get Epstein.
Yeah.
And I've always said I think Epstein's still alive.
He had too many friends in powerful places.
And they couldn't afford to kill him until they knew all of the safeguards he put in place to protect his life.
Yeah, so they're like that.
So they took him somewhere and said, all right.
You're on this island.
You'll get plenty of food and whatever.
And but this is where you have to stay from now on.
Yeah, I'm sure it was a lot more of make a deal with Epstein.
Yeah, and I'm sure he got a special work or something.
Yeah.
So this is just me, but I'm a conspiracy guy.
So they're OK.
Dac leading in yards, but can't lead a comeback.
Is McCarthy on the hot seat?
And we touched on that.
And yes, yeah, I think everything he does.
This season is a judgment, a click against him.
Yeah, lame, lame duck.
Last season, they aren't even talking about re signing him.
No, no, he's out on an island and he knows.
Yeah.
And the only thing that the only reason he still has his jobs because Jerry Jones doesn't fire coaches in the middle of the season.
Yeah, that's it.
He's already supposedly talking to Belichick about next season.
Yeah.
And from the look on McCarthy's face, I think he knows that this is it.
Every home game is like, well, there's only three more, only two more.
He's counting down his last few games as a head coach in the National Football League.
And I don't know, do you try extra hard at that point?
Do you just say, ask for it?
I don't think he'll ever get another good head coach.
I know, it's done. It's done.
I think he won't care.
I'm beginning, you know, I think I'm in that position.
I would say, you know, screw you, Jerry Jones.
I'm not going to do something overt, but I'm not going out of my way.
I'm not going to help you.
Yeah.
You know, we're going to limp our way to a mediocre disappointing season.
Especially if he's double crossing him behind his back with a.
Belichick.
Yeah. Yeah.
Belichick. Yeah.
So, yeah, if I was McCarthy, I wouldn't lay down, but I sure as hell wouldn't do anything to help me.
He's not getting another head coaching job. He knows that.
This is last stop.
Unless he wants to go coach high school somewhere, which some ex players and ex coaches go ahead and do that because they want to.
They feel like it.
Yeah. Just don't take and try to steal from the poor to get a new soccer stadium.
Allegedly.
Brett.
Favre.
Somebody made the point that Brett Favre has been such a creep that he deserves to have his name mispronounced now.
So everyone should start calling him Brett Favre.
It kind of started on something about Murray when when was it Ben Stiller?
He goes Brett Favre.
Fla, bla, bla, bla.
And then everyone's like, it is so weird.
Yeah. Yeah.
I remember when he was drafted, the commissioner mispronounced it.
Brett Favre.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was Favre for a little bit.
Then now all of a sudden, he's like, no, it's Favre, Betty.
It's Favre.
Yeah. So I think we're both on there.
Yeah.
OK.
Jerry Jones.
I told you what he did.
He, you know, talking about some players genitals and how big it was.
He had the exact length down to the half inch.
Yes.
Little creepy.
He could have said eight plus.
He could have said under nine.
He could have said above average.
Above average.
But he said eight point five, eight and a half.
Not quite a nine inch nail, but real close.
But real close.
Yeah.
That brings up a lot of questions.
Some of them are not going to go into.
You can take your own.
You can take your own theory on what.
But I think this at the very least shows that the guy has lost his marbles.
Yeah. His self-control is lapsed.
I don't know. Does he maybe he thinks he can just say these things and it's no big deal?
Or does he does he think back after an hour and think, oh, my God, what did I say?
What did I actually say in front of everybody?
I think there's nobody home and all said, he's like, oh, shit, what did I do?
Yeah.
He has nobody's home moments because he's 84 or something.
I've had moments like that where I just I'm trying to say something about my brain has already moved ahead.
I've been doing it all this whole cast.
What's that guy's name?
What?
I know him, but I just can't think of him on the spot.
So, yeah, I get it.
But in this case, he chose to say something really inappropriate.
And I'm sure he knew while he was saying it.
He probably had a grin on his face.
He probably had to have known.
But he's maybe so scatterbrained now that he thought the doubt was going to be cute and go over.
Well, yeah.
Instead, Jamie Foxx is like, oh, shit, you said the guy's name and you talked about the guy's genitals.
And I'm trying to do a live broadcast here.
It's hostile work environment.
He shut it down.
Sexual harassment at work.
Yeah.
Jamie Foxx did the correct thing, shutting it down and leaving going.
That's it. It's done.
Was it a video or audio only?
I believe it's video.
I would be curious to go back and see if Jerry Jones was grinning or smiling when he was saying that.
I don't look for that.
Like, he, he, I'm saying something wrong.
I'm getting away with it.
I'm being naughty.
I would think it's very recently.
I can imagine him doing that.
Audio on it.
Yeah.
But I wanted.
I think he's got a big shitty grin on his face.
Thinking it was cute to say that.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Shows how out of touch he is.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Gosh.
Next one.
Jayden Daniels.
Real deal?
I'd say yes.
Okay.
How far?
Career longevity.
I'm going to say double digit years as a starter.
Yep.
Success overall.
I'm going to say he's going to get, he's going to be as successful as the team around him will let him be.
I don't think he's going to hold anybody back.
If he gets enough talent, they definitely can make a good playoff run next year, the year after, et cetera.
Not necessarily this year.
I agree.
This year it would be great if they could get in and at least have some playoff experience.
They'd get all those young players on the teams like, all right, now we know what playoffs is like next year.
We'll go win one.
I think with Jayden Daniels, it's essential.
It's essential that they get playoff experience this year.
Yeah.
I was going to say that about Bo Nicks, too, but I think Denver is just kind of going to fumble their way through the season.
They're not quite there yet.
Not quite there yet.
I don't think.
I mean, they could be.
Who knows?
Yeah.
I think that the sky's the limit long term.
I think right now you're probably looking at maybe 5,000 yards with the extra game, maybe 4,900.
Yeah.
You're going to look at a considerable amount of running.
So all right.
OK.
With all the games, I'm going to say probably 4,200, something like that.
Yeah.
I think a high rating of maybe 1,0.2 or something, but not the highest.
A lot of them are usually 1,09 now, the highest or whatever.
1,02.1 or something like that.
Yeah.
What about a touchdown to interception ratio?
I'm going to say it's going to be probably 20 to 7 touchdowns.
Yeah.
I was going to say 2 to 1 or better.
Or better, yeah.
Touchdown to interceptions.
It's going to be decent, but not the most spectacular one you've ever seen.
Yeah.
What are some picks this year that he's going to learn from?
Yeah.
There's going to be some defenses that play him just right and are going to make him look
bad.
Yeah.
He'll look like a rookie at least one week this year.
One week this year, yeah.
But I mean, he was a Heisman Trophy winner.
He came from a good school.
He looked good, and he looked like he carried the torch into the NFL.
And I mean, you know, college offense, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Like, what's his name, the dumbass from Cincinnati said.
No, no, this is the NFL evolving again.
Yeah.
There's going to be some catching on, and there's going to be some improvision.
But I think this is stuff you see.
It's not the Wildcat, no.
Yeah.
But it could be.
But it could also not be.
It could also be trick plays.
I'm trying to think, I can't think of a single glaring deficiency that Jaden Daniels has.
Me neither, but you're going to see him.
Yeah, someone will find one, but right now it just seems like he's a pretty complete
quarterback.
He is.
It's going to be judgment.
Yeah.
It's going to be judgment.
Yeah.
He's going to try to figure something out that doesn't work and fall flat on his face.
And he's going to learn from that.
So I say next year you're going to see an even better quarterback, but maybe not a better
team.
True, true.
Because that happens a lot.
Yeah.
The quarterback will actually be better, but the team will be worse.
Yeah.
And I think CJ Stroud is a victim of some of that, but not all of it, which is weird
because they did so many pickups in the off season.
You thought it would work the other way?
Yeah, they may have changed too much.
Well, I know Stavon Diggs was mouthing off to Allen, Josh Allen, and Josh Allen's been
taking Bards back, so maybe there is something in there that they don't believe that Diggs
was really that good of a component to the team.
Maybe he took that down to Texas.
Who knows?
Yeah.
Mixing, maybe same thing.
Or maybe he's a paper tiger.
Remember, that guy's going to get injured and he's going to be out for a long time.
He's injured right now.
Yeah.
It's rough when you've only been successful with one team.
Yeah.
I mean, like Tyron Matthew, Chiefs were labeled idiots to let him go.
They get Justin Reed, and Justin Reed is twice the guy he was.
From the Texans.
Tyron Matthew is a good player, but he's not Reed.
Yeah.
There's stuff like that where there's certain teams know certain things, and they're ahead
of the curve because they work with them.
So maybe Mixing might be one of those.
Like, okay, this guy's only good in these situations, but nobody knows it.
They don't really know it that well.
They may suspect it, but they don't really know.
So we're going to trade him to the Texans.
The Texans are going to look at his stats.
They're going to trade big.
Yeah.
So.
Back when the Chiefs had Christian Okoye at running back, the Nigerian nightmare.
He was awesome.
He was huge, and he was super strong.
But once defenses figured out he could only run straightforward, he couldn't do anything.
He couldn't do any kind of cutting or sideways.
And his knees.
Yeah.
They went after his knees, and that guy was dead.
Yeah.
They figured him out within a season or so, and that was kind of it.
He had two good seasons.
And Barry Word was only good if Okoye was in there wearing him out.
Yeah.
Because everybody was like, oh my god, this new guy, Barry Word, they got him from somewhere.
Oh, he might be better.
You got him from Detroit.
Detroit, yes.
That was it, yeah.
And obviously they're thinking, no, no, no.
If this guy doesn't have the nightmare in front of him wearing everybody down, he's not going to be nearly as effective.
And that proved it when Okoye had to retire, Barry Word did nothing.
Mm-hmm.
So.
Oh, gosh.
Steelers must have really laughed at us when we picked up Bam Morris as a way back.
Oh, yeah, Bam Morris.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, we thought we were cute.
Well, you thought we were cute.
Yep.
And then Tamaric turnover, I mean, Vanover.
Tamaric.
He and Bam Morris were, well, they were smuggling cars full of weed and cocaine up from Texas.
Is that what they were doing?
Yeah.
Don't you make enough money playing football?
Seriously.
OK, that's one of those judgment things.
Yeah.
That you know about.
And that's why you don't rehire them.
Yeah.
And Pittsburgh knew this.
Mm-hmm.
Kansas City knew a little of it, but not all of it.
And I thought, hey, let's get him.
We can straighten him out, and then we get him and go, no.
Well, at the time, Peterson and Schottenheimer were welcoming problem players.
Yeah.
Like Andre Rison.
Yeah, let's get ready to go into Spider-Man or Bad Moon, yeah.
Yeah, Bad Moon, Rison.
And it didn't necessarily help the team.
It actually hurt the team.
Yeah.
He had his house burned down while he was the chief.
Oh, I remember that.
No, he was still a Falcon.
He was still a Falcon.
Yeah, Left Eye Lopez burned his house down.
Yeah, she ended up dying in a car wreck.
Yeah.
She had a lot of fun.
Yeah, she burned down his house and got away with it.
Yeah.
Yeah, no charges, nothing.
Just like, eh, that's what you get when you fuck with Left Eye.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
She was a victim of her own circumstance at Wreck.
She was kind of a misaligned deal where they're all, it sounded like they're all plastered,
like slam, you know, driving erratically, and it got her.
Yeah.
And then she was like Ace Ventura.
What was his first name?
The guy that was on.
Yodano Ventura.
Yodano Ventura of the Chiefs.
Oh.
Or not the Chiefs, the Royals.
Yeah.
Player.
Went to the Dominican Republic, went on a bender, flipped his car.
Yeah.
Killed him.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
And that guy, he had an up, I don't know.
I was on the fence about him because he had a temper and he could never control his emotions.
When he was on, he was unhittable almost, but when he was off, he was horrible.
Yeah.
He had too many off days.
Yeah.
Anyhow.
So, tragic.
Well, that's all the bullet points.
Do you want to go into some more stupid statements?
I would love to.
All right.
Let me find out where I left off.
Okay.
Terry Bradshaw.
Former Steelers quarterback.
This will be good.
I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid.
Oh, it's kind of splitting the hair there, isn't it, dude?
What are the definitions between dumb and stupid?
Gosh, it's so vague.
Dumb, you can't talk.
Well, yeah.
Honestly.
I mean, but I mean, it has been, now in the dictionary, I'm sure it says like an unintelligible
person or something.
Yeah.
I know how the context he meant it in.
He meant like, I may not be the brightest guy, but you can't pull the wool over my eyes
on this issue.
Yeah.
That's how he meant it, I'm sure.
That's the only way you could have meant it.
Yeah.
Say something like that.
I'm dumb, but I'm not that dumb.
Yes, exactly.
So.
So, I didn't necessarily think that that statement was so horrible, but they did on this one.
It's a little goofy, but not that big of a deal.
I could see how it coming out on tape, kind of looking, so.
All right, next one.
Craig Ironhead Hayward, former Saints running back.
Remember him?
I do.
People say I'll be drafted in the first round, maybe even higher.
No, that was stupid.
Wow.
That would be a real trick.
Yeah.
So, let's see, how much higher can you get the first round?
Is this like the seating on an airplane where you have first class, then you have like the
elite, the elite club?
The Patriots have paid to pick early, so everyone else get behind them.
Yes.
They are in the elite class.
They have the elite card right here that you can apply for right now on your cell phone
while you're waiting for the elite to walk on the plane.
I'm sure that that is coming, because you can pay all the extras to board the plane earlier
to get preferential hotel rooms or reserve your table, whatever.
There's going to come a point where somebody who has spent more than you is going to come
kick your ass out and take your table, take your hotel room, take your seat at the game.
Well that's already happening with the personal seat licenses and stuff like that.
So I got one for you, and I didn't know about this.
This is back when I was at my old job and I was going out of town quite a bit.
We were in Delaware, and some job in Florida came up near Orlando, Stanford, or Sanford.
Sanford, Florida is a college there.
I forgot which one it is.
So we had to go down there, and it had to be booked like 10 o'clock the night before.
All they had left on any flight was first class.
So we're on United first class, first seats, the two front seats.
And with that came free everything.
Oh yeah.
So yeah, we're walking on there and we got our construction clothes on, our hats and
stuff, and people are kind of looking at us.
And we sit in the front and people are like, what?
So the lady comes over, she goes, would you like a sandwich and a drink?
Yeah, that sounds good.
She holds up the line and does it.
Hang on, I've got to get first class their food and water.
And I'm like, oh fuck.
I didn't know they were going to do that.
They're all staring at me and glaring at me.
And it's done intentionally to make you feel good about yourself and then make the other
people think, damn, I want to be in first class now.
Yeah.
And I'm like, man, everyone hates me.
You see the glaring, they're like, hold on, I got to get this guy this sandwich and his
drink.
And I'm like, motherfucker, I wish I would have known this.
I would have said no and got it later.
It's weird because when I see a situation like that, it doesn't make me want to be in
first class more.
No, I feel like an asshole.
It makes me never want to fly their airline again because they treat people that way.
I sure was united.
Yeah.
But I'm not, you know, I could be wrong, but I thought it's united.
But I couldn't believe that.
I'm like, oh my gosh, because I didn't like that.
I mean, that made me look like an asshole.
Like everyone has to wait on me.
Yeah.
And I didn't know that was going to happen.
Otherwise I would have forewent it and got it later.
But me, I'm like, oh, hey, I'm getting one up on the, I'm getting one up on the company,
man.
Yeah.
I'm going to get some free food and drink here.
So we couldn't drink drink because we're going straight to a job.
But if you know, other than that, I would have really had a one up on the company.
So, all right.
Next one.
Randy Cross, former 49ers, RG, right?
Yeah.
Then it felt like life is full of idiots.
Thank you, Captain obvious.
Yes.
What else do you say that?
Yeah.
The right shoe goes on the right foot.
Yeah.
And surprisingly, the left shoe goes on the left foot.
Wow.
Thank you for telling me that.
I have no idea.
I never put that together.
Yeah.
You know, now thinking about it, every time I see someone put on a right side of their
shoe, it's been on the right foot.
Yeah.
Wow.
We should get on TV and talk about this.
Yes.
Oh, wait, we're on a podcast.
And they're probably in their retirement home in St. John.
All right.
Next one.
Chuck Knox, former Rams head coach.
Most of my cliches aren't original.
I like that one.
So no matter what he says, you've heard it before.
And you're like, yeah, okay.
Wow.
Let's see him come out and go, well, you know, a stitch in time saves nine.
What the hell does that even mean?
Nobody knows what that means.
I even looked it up.
They don't know what it means.
They're like, who the fuck knows?
I've seen three different guesses on it.
Yeah.
I think that someone made that up just to see how far it would go.
Like hail.
That is the word, kale.
That is the kale of words or phrases.
That's the kale of phrases.
Yeah.
Stitch in time saves nine.
The sun may come up tomorrow, but at least the phone's ringing.
Okay.
Thanks, grandpa.
Man, great.
Man, I would have never put that together until you said it.
I will now live my life according to your wise words.
Got that one under the belt.
Oh, Randy Cross.
Oh yeah.
He was something.
Yeah.
Yeah, something.
All right.
Gale Sayers from the Rams running back.
All right, the only thing I got out of football was the ability to work hard and that's it.
I don't see anything wrong with that really.
I mean, it's kind of a weird statement.
Yeah.
It kind of implies that you had no clue how to work hard until you became a football player,
which is you don't want to hire football players that have no clue on how to work hard.
Well, that's probably why his name isn't out there.
Yeah.
I didn't recognize it.
Did you?
Well, Gale Sayers was always the quiet one.
I did recognize it.
Yeah.
He was always the quiet guy, so maybe you should stay quiet one more sentence.
Yeah, probably so.
Next one.
Joe Namath for Rejet's quarterback.
He's had a number.
And you'll remember this.
Oh, God.
I guarantee a win.
Oh, yeah.
And they lost.
They used to love to go to him on the sideline when it would be a Jets home game because
he'd be up in the stands just wasted off his ass.
And they'd get him on camera and the microphone and he would say something crazy or weird
or stupid and it'd be great TV.
But then there was that time he kept telling Susie Colbert he wanted to kiss her.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I really wanted to kiss her.
He was leaning in on her constantly and you could see she's like reeling, like sticking
her head as far away as she can.
Yes.
But the mic still being able to pick her up.
He must have stank.
Oh, he probably reek like alcohol and old man gum.
Yeah.
Shortly after that, he got sober.
And as far as I know, he stayed sober.
I think he's still sober.
So good for him.
But that was funny, that old creepy man trying to, I really want to kiss you.
Yeah.
I think that was ESPN because it was Susie Colbert.
But shame on them for dragging his drunk ass out of the stands.
They knew he was drunk.
They knew he was going to be stupid.
They wanted fate.
Yeah.
And they got it.
Yeah.
And they were doing that.
Yeah.
That was sensationalism.
All right.
You're going to recognize this and actually the name of the guy that quoted it's coming
later, but I think I know you'll catch it though.
What's that?
Playoffs?
Don't talk about playoffs.
You kidding me?
Playoffs?
I just hope we can win a game.
Jim Morrow the Saints.
Yep.
And Colts.
Yep.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Colts.
And it wasn't just what he said.
It was playoffs?
And his eyebrows raising up.
Playoffs?
Yeah.
They're now using him in the gambling commercial doing the same thing.
Yes they are.
Kevin Hart saw him at betting on the playoffs and they cut to Jim Morrow.
Playoffs?
He has become a meme of himself.
Oh yeah.
He was like, he was getting across to the players.
You guys aren't doing it.
No way.
Don't even mention playoffs around me.
It was pretty stupid for the reporter to ask about the playoffs.
Yeah.
Because they were playing like shit.
Don't even bring that up.
That's kind of like rubbing dirt in the room.
They were baiting Jim Morrow to look ahead.
And it worked.
Yeah.
Oh man.
And he knew that.
That's why he went off.
Bill Cower, former Steelers head coach.
And I like Bill Cower a lot.
I do too.
Yeah.
He's a former Kansas City employee.
Yeah.
He was a defensive coordinator under Marty Schottenheimer.
Yep.
Turned out to be a better head coach.
Oh he's an awesome head coach.
Yeah.
We're not attempting to circumcise the rules.
I mean.
It's like, what's your rule?
My rule is the rule is the rule.
What you're going to do is snip him.
I can't believe those words are completely different.
I can't believe you got them mixed up.
Because doesn't everyone know what circumcise means?
Yeah.
Circum means a circle.
Yeah.
So circumvent means to go around it in a circle.
Circumvent means to cut it around us in a circle.
I read that's where Funyuns come from.
They deep fry those little penis rings.
It's like foreskin chicharrones.
Yes.
Lovely.
They roll them in some sort of a flavoring and that's your findings.
They're probably just rolling around in their armpits.
Oh my god.
Okay, so yeah.
Circumcise the rules.
You know, that was probably one of those ones after he said it, he was like, oh shit.
But then we're going to give the running game a pap smear.
I mean pedicure.
I mean.
I mean pedophile.
I mean.
I forget it.
Epstein, help me.
Bruce Coslet, former Bengals head coach.
I remember Bruce Coslet.
We can't run, we can't pants, we can't stop the run, we can't stop the pass, we can't
kick.
And even that, we're just not a very good football team right now.
Well, I bet the owner loved that one.
I bet he did too.
Season tickets plummet sale.
So you're telling me we can't do everything and we're not that good of a team?
What the hell?
Why don't you just retire and let some high school football team take your place?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just go in safe place and go here you go.
Have fun.
Whoever wins the Texas state championship each year should like get moved into the NFL
and have the low team kicked out.
You know, I think the presidential run should be like that.
Oh yeah.
You know, like one of them are starting to falter and they go, OK, here, here, now it's
you.
I'm giving this to you.
Here's the baton.
Yeah, like a relay race.
And then like game day, the day of the vote.
All of a sudden they're like switching.
Who's it going to be?
Who do I get to vote for?
OK.
I guess America's going to have a lottery system now.
We're going to take the top four and just kind of like juggle them around and see who
gets it.
Everyone throw a dart.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get the same result.
You broke everyone at the top ridge.
So there you go.
America, have a great day.
Oh, my God.
Yep.
Can I go one more thing I wanted to bring up?
Yeah, sure.
A very interesting video I saw a couple of days ago concerning the Eagles and their live
performances.
Well I hate them already because of the scalping that they do legally, in my opinion.
Yeah.
I mean, think about how much it costs to see the Eagles.
Three, four, five thousand dollars for a ticket.
How can they let that happen?
I mean, that's just.
Well, you know, as long as people are willing to pay it, it's going to happen.
So get angry at the people who are willing to throw that much money on a concert.
But the thing with the Eagles is this guy took, apparently it's been a staple of the
concert to do the song Desperado, but do it strictly as just a vocal performance.
Don Henley will stand up there all by himself and sing it with no musical accompaniment.
So this guy took two recordings of him singing Desperado live from different years and compared
them under frequency analysis.
They were virtually identical.
So their voice track, they're, they're.
He's lip syncing to a pre-recorded track of him doing it.
It is him singing Desperado, but it was pre-recorded.
And the differences, the frequency differences can be put down to the background noise of
the audience and everything.
But they've been lip syncing their vocal performances for years and charging people thousands of
dollars.
Fuck.
That's the Eagles.
I already hate them.
I do too.
My wife loves them so I can't tell her this story.
But yeah, the Eagles are just the same money-grumming dirtbags who are phoning it in just like everybody.
I'm surprised that Cindy likes them after this.
She likes their music, but I see, I won't tell her.
I'm not telling her this part because she's getting angry that I.
So she never tried to go see them live and realize it costs thousands of dollars.
Oh yeah.
The last time they were nearby, we thought about it.
It was just insanely expensive.
I mean, and there, you know, there's no other way, there's no other way of saying this,
but it's got to be them.
Because there's other very popular bands that don't charge nearly that much.
The most they do is like a VIP ticket where you get to meet them and say hi and get something
signed in a picture.
And that usually runs maybe a thousand or so, depending on who it is.
No, that's perfectly fine because, you know, people that deem that worth it can pay for
it.
Especially a band like the Eagles that's not really signed to a record label, they're not
putting out music so they're not obligated to anybody or anything.
They can tour when they want, go where they want.
They can make it a big production, a small production.
It's all up to them.
They've chosen to make it the kind of concert where they can get people to pay that much
money for it.
Yeah.
And yeah, it's just greed.
It is.
Yeah.
It pisses me off too.
And now they're recording, playing recordings.
Yeah, that's wrong.
I wonder how long it's been happening.
Sounds like it's been, sounds like they're not new at it.
Yeah.
So this guy took a concert performance from I think this year and one from last year.
And it was Don Henley singing Desperado.
And he plotted it up on the screen and you can see it.
And then he overlaid the frequency tracings.
It was my God.
They are identical down to a tiny, tiny fraction of an inch and fraction of a second.
And there's no way you can do that unless it's an identical recording.
And no human being can imitate themselves that precisely with that precise timing over
the course of a four minute song.
Not possible.
No, you're right.
He's singing to a backing track.
You know what?
I would love to say that surprises me.
It really doesn't anymore.
They don't have a conscience, obviously.
If they did, they would not let those prices go.
And from all accounts, I've heard Don Henley is a real prick to begin with.
He was so mad at the press for reporting him being in a hotel room full of cocaine and
younger females that he wrote dirty laundry about him.
And he would never do interviews and stuff like that.
He was so pissed off.
He was mad because they caught him.
He was mad because he thought they should let him get away with it.
Yes.
That's the scum.
He was like, I'm Don Henley.
I know that I did this, but you can't say anything because I'm Don Henley.
Yeah.
I never liked him since then.
I can separate what kind of person a person is from something they do really well.
Me too.
Maybe Jeffrey Dahmer was an awesome ventriloquist, but he was a scumbag as a person.
Do you imagine?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
I know I'm going to eat you, but hang on.
I want to introduce you to Billy.
Hi, how are you?
That's pretty good, Jeffrey.
All right, that's it.
I'm going to eat you now.
I remember when Aaron Hernandez was arrested and convicted and sent to jail.
There's actually a series coming out about that.
Yeah, I've seen that on streaming.
It looks pretty good.
Inside the mind of Aaron Hernandez and stuff like that.
But I remember coworkers who were like, oh, that's such a shame.
He's such a great football player.
They need to find a way to let him keep playing.
I thought, you suck up.
What a bootlicker.
Yeah, a bootlicker.
Oh, it's okay if he kills people.
He's entertaining us.
Yeah, let him just go ahead and go.
He'd be the kind of guy who would let Jared fondle little girls because it made the sandwiches
bitter.
Or let Gary Glitter rape little girls because he liked his music.
What he promised is to slow down on the murdering.
Yeah, it's like the dude said it out loud at work that they should find a way to just
excuse his murdering and let him play NFL football game just because he's good at it.
I don't know what world that guy lives in, but obviously he doesn't have family ones
he care about.
It was awful.
And then when Aaron Hernandez killed himself, I remember that next morning he's like, oh,
no, no, no, he was murdered.
There's no way he'd kill himself.
He loved his little girl.
There's no way he'd kill himself.
This is a lie.
This is a cover up.
He proved he killed himself with his actions because he wasn't convicted.
They were going to get the money and that's what he wanted.
Yep, the NFL was going to cut off survivor benefits as long as he had that conviction.
Yeah, but they could convict him.
His little girl was going to get nothing.
So he appealed.
He got that conviction.
He overturned.
So at that moment, all the survivor benefits were in place and that's when he killed himself.
Yeah, he had a plan.
He set up that moment where he could kill himself in such a way that his daughter would
get the money.
Yeah.
And when that was explained to the guy at work, he was like silent for about a day trying
to think that his hero, Aaron Hernandez, would intentionally kill himself.
That's funny.
He's told him about that.
Yeah.
And then he reconciled.
He's like, he was a great human being.
He was a great family man.
He loved his little girl.
And then when the thing came out that Aaron Hernandez was gay and in denial and very closeted,
he lost it all over again.
Didn't he have a relationship of some sort with that guy, I think?
His high school quarterback was his boyfriend.
Okay, that's what I thought.
And they were very much in love and had a great relationship and apparently really enjoyed
each other's company.
But Aaron Hernandez, his father, would have killed him if he knew his son was gay.
Yeah, and also I think some CTE might have entered into it.
Oh yeah, because he flipped and went off the deep end.
Yeah, he didn't pull a...
Who was the...
Chris Benoit.
Right, he just flipped out and killed his whole family and himself for no apparent reason.
Yeah.
Well, Aaron Hernandez had reasons to, but he flipped out when he did all of that too.
And that was kind of a CTE deal also.
Yeah.
It almost seems like he started down the path.
Like when he shot those two guys who just bumped into him in the nightclub and spilled
his drink.
And then he stuck around and followed them out, came up at a stoplight and blew them
away.
Yeah, that was so weird.
It's like they just bumped into him.
And I think someone said they even apologized.
I said, I'm sorry.
He did.
But Aaron went there with the gun looking to get offended, wanting to lash out at somebody.
The guys who were with him said he was looking for somebody to get pissed off at.
And it's like the guys who tailgate you on the road and just crawl right up your bumper.
Yeah, and then when you slow down, they're looking for a confrontation.
Aaron Hernandez was that way.
And he got his wish and he shot and killed those guys.
And I think at that point he just figured, all right, my life is done.
I might as well just go out and blaze a glory.
I'm going to make sure that my little girl gets all this money.
Yeah.
Which is commendable, but nothing else he did was.
How weird to on the weekend, shoot and kill somebody and hide their body and then go back
and practice plays and be a tight end and catch passes.
Nothing to see here.
And then go home the next weekend and shoot guys in a nightclub.
It's like, oh my God, that guy's mine.
No wonder they're doing a show about him.
Yeah, I'm sure they're going to show the CTE part of it too.
Well, should we go get our tenderloins?
I think so.
I think so too.
All right, let's wrap this crap up.
This means the show's over.
We're wrapping the crap.
We're going to the tenderloin grill, fuckers.
Be jealous.
This has been the sports bastards.
Yes.
And you will hear a goofy little promo after this too.
Enjoy.
Kicking your ass.
For a size 15 clown boots and a deep Tracy hat.
Did you really sit there and listen to all that garbage that was spilling?
Do you actually believe one inch of it?
I didn't think so.
Hang out.
Game over.
