From the deep inside the bowels of the city market in Kansas City, Missouri downtown property
to the banks of the beautiful crystal blue waters of the Missouri River
it is the original two, Topher and Mark, given the 2024 football predictions for the season.
You thought they were done, didn't you?
Hehehehehehe
More annoying than a 3am piss boner
Anyone wonder what these two dullards look like?
Yeah, me neither
And it looks like the little thingies are going up and down so I think we're doing well
Alrighty, well this is the sports bastards
Yes
And I guess I did pretty well and Topher didn't do too bad either on these ones
Yeah, surprisingly enough we didn't suck as much as we did last week
I trained myself to think I lost that game, I lost that game, I lost that game
Every time I heard one I was like, well I lost that one
Yeah, some of them were like, who did I pick in that game?
Some of them I knew immediately
And others were like, who the heck did I pick in that one?
You know, I don't write them down and keep them on purpose that way it doesn't spoil the games
I don't go, oh my gosh, come on, just win
I'm just like, you know, whoever wins, wins
And I don't remember usually, so it works out pretty well for both of us
Oh yeah, well, do you want to start on the Monday night or last night that we can dissect that one pretty damn good
Yeah, yeah, oh let's tell them where we are
Oh yeah, yeah, we are at the Nashville International Airport
And we're waiting to fly home to Casey
Yeah, we just had a couple of meetings with the Filthy Bean, Rick, from the Filthy Bean
He has some exciting news that we can't spill yet
But probably in a couple of podcasts coming up, we'll be able to tell you
Yeah, it's pretty nice, it's fun
I'm really going to enjoy talking about it
Oh yeah, and also Rick is going to be very mad at us
We took his chocolates again
Oh yes we did
When he hears this, well, he'll know it by the time he hears this
Sorry Rick
His fault, he's supposed to hide them when he knows we're coming
So I turned my head and coughed
And then we have to address the other issue
It came to our attention that Two Fuck Nuts and Recorder scribbled some graffiti on our booth
You could say we got tagged
We got tagged, yes
Well, all I can say is we found out, we uncovered some clues from Two Fuck Nuts and Recorder
They come from Buckner, Missouri in their mom's basement
Yeah, it's one of those failure to launch things
Yes, and the rumors are true
Yes, whatever rumor you've heard
Every rumor you've heard
However, I would like to know what they carved in there because it's not legible, number one
Number two, it had to have been a pretty sharp knife
Yeah, they may have been, you know like those heavy metal bands that have the logos that are so squiggly and ornate
You can't read what they say, it's kind of like that
That might be their new logo
Yeah, they're going for the Norwegian death metal, black winter metal
That's it
The logo looks like a whole bunch of squiggly tree branches and it's like there's a name in there somewhere
Speaking of that, I've got this thing that drives Val crazy and the dogs too
It is an Aztec death whistle
You get them on Amazon, a friend of mine, Steve, I come over there and I'm like, oh fuck
That's an Aztec death whistle
And every now and then I'll run into the podcast room, blast one out
Everyone goes nuts and I run off
Wow, I can't even imagine how that sounds
I'll have to bring it on our next podcast down at the City Market
And we'll probably break some eardrums
Yeah
I've heard there's one type of whistle that sounds for all the world like a woman screaming at the top of her lungs
This is kind of like that
And I could only imagine the Mayans coming after you and the first thing is this noise
You're like, ahhh
Your testicles go home and they never come back
Oh yeah, you're gone
I mean, that's where you need a cyanide capsule
It's like, okay, I'm just going to end this right now, I'm not letting those fucks get a hold of me
Yeah
Bad enough I got to hear it
Yeah
I don't want to see what comes along with it
Oh, when I remember it finally
And the thing is, the problem is it's very portable, it's small
You can take it anywhere
Yes, I might take it to Eureka Springs next week
Oh yeah
We've got a balcony room at this one place we like to stay
I just sit on the balcony every now and then because
It overlooks the balcony restaurant at the Basin Park
I sit there and throw that whistle out every now and then and freak people out
They usually have someone up there playing acoustic too
You just tell them you're joining in
This is my axe man
You never heard that? It's a new one
Give me a solo, I want to take a solo
Yeah, here hang on
By that time everybody's going, hey, hey, where did everybody go?
Oh my gosh, yeah, definitely a head for the hills kind of thing
But I guess I got to try the balcony restaurant's gooseberry pie
I've had like three people suggest that to me
And as many times I've been going there, I've never heard of it
Gooseberry
Gooseberry pie
I haven't had that in a long time
They are kind of almost clear looking
Yeah, kind of a little greenish tint
Yeah, little greenish tint berries
And they're pretty sour by themselves
In fact, they still maintain some sourness in the gooseberry pie
I've had gooseberry jam
Do you like gooseberry pie?
Yeah, yeah, it's really tart
Kind of like rhubarb pie is really tart
That must be the deal then because I've never heard of this before
And supposedly it's their specialty at the balcony restaurant
That would be worth a slice
Put a big scoop of rich ice cream on top to balance out the tartness
Yeah
So anyhow, I'll give everybody a full report
Maybe by the time I call in next week for this show
I'll have a full report if I've eaten it yet
If I've eaten it, I'll let you know
And if not, I'll say, hey, tomorrow, it'll be next, you know, whatever
I remember my mom taking me to a restaurant that was most of the way up Mount Hood, I think it was
It's not Mount Thug?
No
It's Mount Hood
Yeah, Mount Hood
He was Mount In-da Hood
In-da Hood
Anyway, there was this one restaurant that served Huckleberry pancakes
Huckleberry
And Huckleberrys, they're a real dark purple berry
And they're sweet and they've got kind of a taste all their own
You remember Huckleberry Hound, the cartoon?
Yeah, yeah
It's kind of that color, only darker
Oh, that's probably where they got the name from then
Yeah, but it's like a, it doesn't taste like a blueberry, but it's about the same shape, but bigger
So imagine a really big blueberry, but it doesn't quite taste like a blueberry
I wonder if that's where the saying, that's your Huckleberry came from
I think so, they're not a real common plant in the wild
Yeah, so it's common
So people tend to cultivate them, so coming across Huckleberries was pretty awesome
It's like the 1800s unicorn
Yeah
They didn't find unicorns back then, they found Huckleberries
So there we go
Yeah
Okay, well, let's get this shit show going I guess
Alrighty, let's talk about Monday Night Football
Well, I've witnessed teams try to lose before
And this was a classic, classic, no, you take it, no, you take it, game
I don't know how either team, whoever would have won, it was Buffalo, 23 to 20
There were so many chances for it to be 27 to 20 on each side, easily
But every time they kept stepping over their own fingers
Yeah
I don't know how Buffalo can feel good about that at all
They went away with a win, but how could you feel good?
You'd be like, we won, but
I would think they'd feel lucky rather than good
Exactly
Thank God we managed to come across a team having a worse night than us
Yeah, yeah
However, the Jets have just enhanced their whole lineup with Devonte Adams
Which will be interesting to see next week
Well, it was interesting because I heard somebody
I can't remember, oh no, no, okay, it was on one of the shows that they have on
You know, like they have The Herd and all those guys and all that stuff
It was one of the shows on TV
And someone said, well, boy, that getting rid of Robert Salah did good, didn't it?
Yeah
And then the hot rumor is, and there's nothing, I mean, there's a radio host, I guess, in New York or something
Saying this, that the reason Robert Salah was canned was because he was wearing a Palestinian patch
And number one, I looked in on the owners and none of them appear to have a Jewish name
Like that was the other rumors, like that one of the owners was Jewish
And that guy was wearing a Palestinian patch
I think if it was anything like that, but I kind of doubt it was now
I think if it was anything like that at all, it's kind of like the, we don't need the bad pub
Yeah, yeah, I see where you're going with that
It's more of a concern for the fan base if he's coming out in favor of Palestine
I saw the photograph where he's at a press conference and it's on his left sleeve
Yeah, I believe he's Palestinian, isn't he? Well, you know
Could be
Well, okay, anyhow
I tend not to pay attention to those kind of things
Like most of us should
Yeah, like most of us do
No, I just read somewhere that it's Palestinian, so I'm like, okay, well, I guess I get it, right?
Yeah, but you know, when you think of New York, you know, you can't think of New York
Without the large Jewish culture and population
And that could be the whole thing
In New Jersey where the Jets actually play
And if you have a predominantly Jewish fan base that you know is going to be pro-Israel
You just kind of don't need that, especially if you're losing
Yeah, that could be, but I mean, there's actually no evidence at all
That that is what it is
They just didn't think he was taking the team in the right direction is from what I gather
But it was some sort of a talk show host that came up with that
And said that that was the reason he was let go, but I don't know, you know
Yeah, but it's not unheard of
While I was working for the postal service, if I wore anything in the least bit political
I had to take it off, cover it, or go home and change
And it wasn't just against the rules, it was actually against the law for me as a federal employee at the time
To have anything to do with elections and politics while I'm on the job
And even while I was off the clock in my spare time, I could not campaign actively for anybody
Now my wife could, and the union auxiliary could
But as federal employees, we were restricted from a number of political activities
So it's not unheard of
My old union used to tell me who we bought
Yeah, yeah, mine too
They'd go, we bought this guy, this is with your money, you vote for him
And I'd go, but he's a piece of shit
Don't make all your union dues go to waste, man, vote for the guy we bought
Yeah, that's pretty much what they said
Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't
Yeah, yeah, anyhow
That was a long time ago and I don't give a shit now, so, anyhow
I'm getting my pensions, so fucking, anyhow
But as Kansas City Chiefs fans, we've seen a lot of times where the Chiefs have given games away
So we recognize it when we see it
And yeah, the score was 20-17 at halftime
Each team scored one field goal in the second half
Yawn
And the problem is, they were in the red zone, I don't know, maybe eight times
Yeah, we have missed field goals
And they said the wind was bad, which I believe, but there was one that was blocked
And it just went like dead sideways
Yeah, that was crazy
That was a metaphor, it was like, uh
And did you hear the one on the last one that was missed by the Jets?
That sound, I've never heard a sound like that hitting uprights
I'm wondering if that upright was loose a little bit
I was wondering, I was waiting for it to fall down
Yeah, well it's the Meadowlands, it's not exactly in good condition, I don't think
No, no, they really need to come up with something different
But I don't see it, they don't have the room
Unless they knock that down and build it right there, I don't know, you know
I remembered the other thing we were trying to think of earlier
So let me write it down before I forget
Oh, I'll see if it's the same thing
But you know, the Jets just enhanced their chances of doing something this year with Devonte Adams
Definitely
There's more problems with that team than a top notch receiver
The team does not seem very disciplined
No
And it hasn't
How many penalties were there last, like 11 on each side?
Yeah, it was
Good lord
I was looking for them to say it was a record, but I guess it wasn't
Sadly
Yeah, yeah, I guess the Raiders played quite a few Monday night games
So they probably have the record
And so it was windy, it's not like the turf was slick or it's not like they don't know each other
They're division rivals
And it's just the lining up wrong
I heard that last night
That's what got me, they did that so many times
Week 6 and you're still lining up wrong, my gosh
And then the confusion
Do you notice? They'll be yelling back and forth to each other trying to figure out who goes where and all that
How does that happen?
You know, you read the defense, you read the offense
You go, okay, this is going on and we think they're trying to disguise this
So you have your spy here, you got this guy doing his assignment
Now if this happens, you have him doing that, you know
It's typical ABC stuff
Either it's new players who aren't all that familiar or it's players own ego saying, no, I know better, I'm doing this
And his teammates like, no, this is your assignment
And he's like, screw dad, I'm doing this
I would tend to say it's that because these people, most of them have been in their job quite a bit
Yeah
One thing, the game that I did like and I read today was that Aaron Rodgers signed a jersey for Damar Hamlin
And told him he was an inspiration for everybody, himself and everybody in the country
Good job, good job
So, there's much questionable stuff that goes on with Aaron Rodgers
And he's kind of, you know, kind of a loose cannon sometimes
And the whole COVID deal and all that
Excuse me, he's not a complete jerk
No, no, no
I actually think he thinks so different that he's probably an okay guy
He just thinks different than us
I remember reading that thing, he was talking about Y2K
And his first thought was, I can't die, I haven't done what I wanted to do yet
Now, what kind of a thought process is that? That's very determined and convinced
Yeah
So, I don't think a lot of people would identify with him
Yeah, probably not
Yeah, so he's kind of like a tunnel vision type of guy
Which means that he probably doesn't, he doesn't suffer fools
Yeah
Doesn't suffer ordinary talk
Yeah, he would probably see that as a complete waste of his time
Yes, exactly, that's kind of what I get, it's kind of like, man, it's kind of chilly today
And he just walked by and go, yeah, okay
Yeah
There was in the Sherlock Holmes story
The Sherlock Holmes character was several times quoted as saying
He doesn't want to get no useless information
Because it just takes up space that the important stuff needs
Like a friend of his said, you know, oh, it's warmer today than it was this time last year
And Holmes was like, I don't need to know that, that's useless information
Why are you telling me that? Now I've got to make an effort to forget it, to make room for
There is a lot of truth in that too if you think about it
Yeah, and there's a type of attention deficit disorder
That instead of not being able to pay attention to anything for a length of time
It's you focus on one thing exclusively and everything else just fades away
I know someone that has that
I have that, you know, if I'm focused on something and Cindy starts to talk to me
I'll miss the first sentence because it takes me that long to pull my attention away and turn to her and say, what?
I guess I have it too when you put it like that, yeah
Yeah, it's a recognized type of ADD where it's not a deficiency necessarily but it's a hyper focus
I'll go a step further, there's nothing you can do about it
No, there's no therapy or nothing, there's nothing you can do about it
No medications, no nothing, it's just, yeah, cope if you can
Yeah, it's like I'll be back a little bit later, right now I'm dealing with this
And there's nothing else I can do about it, I'm helpless, that's it
Anyway, let's get back to the Jetson though
Speaking of ADD, you know, someone's listening to this going, motherfuckers, come on
Alright, back to football
Okay
Jim Kelly, Josh Allen looked pretty good, like he wanted to win, he was fighting
Things were just falling apart around him
Aaron Rodgers got hit a lot
Oh my God
He got hammered a number of times, he's got to be feeling like crap today
Well I would think so, I mean he did everything except vomit on the sideline
I'm kidding
You ever see someone get so hard they vomit on the sideline?
I thought he was going to do that, especially that last hit he took to the side
I think they did call roughing the passer on it, didn't they?
Yeah, he got at least one of those roughing calls
Yeah, I think it's because of body weight, they landed 100% of their body weight
Yeah, Espineza
When he fell on him, you could see he was trying to push his own body off to the side
He just waited too long and landed on him
Aaron Rodgers reminds me, you remember that old comic, BC on the Rock?
Mm-hmm
Okay, whenever they smashed a spider and it was all crumpled
That's what Aaron Rodgers looked underneath it
He was just like
This spider looked like a scribble of black lines
Yeah, that's what Aaron Rodgers looked like, he looked like a smashed spider just underneath there
And I'm like, oh gosh, I think he's dead, I think he killed him
You see him twitch a little bit, okay, he's still alive, give him a minute
Then the fucker gets back up, goes in the huddle
He didn't miss any plays
No, he didn't, he's tough
He is tough
This is one of those games that, I mean, gosh, it was a very frustrating game to watch
I could only imagine being in it
You know, they're lucky that they got Devonte Adams today, the day after that
Because they have to be so dejected after playing like that and losing like that
That could ruin your whole season
I mean, you could have a hangover on that for a few games playing that shitty
I was wondering, excuse me
I was wondering, maybe they signed Devonte yesterday or the day before
And then just didn't announce it so it wouldn't be a distraction
So maybe the team knew on Monday night
Hey, is that guy giving away peanuts?
Yeah
Those look like the airline peanuts, don't they?
Yeah, they do
There's something caught in my throat, I'm sorry
Okay, anyhow, I don't know what that was about
He's giving people peanuts
Hey, Al, I tried to flag him down and he looked the other way
But that's what I heard when I thought when I heard this morning that Devonte had been traded
Is that they probably did that Sunday
Or early Monday, but they just didn't say anything until after the game
Yeah, so you think that would enhance them playing?
Like, oh man, you know what?
The division is what? Miami, who is rudderless right now
And who else?
Patriots
Yeah, okay
The Patri-Rots
Yeah, the Patri-Rots
They're not having a good time, are they?
No, even Derek May didn't have a good time
I think it's Derek May
Yeah
Yeah, he did okay, but evidently they're real excited about it, no one else is
His mom is
Yes, yeah, I heard she was out there
Yeah
Is she a right tackle, I think?
I believe so
Okay, never mind
She was the biggest right tackle out there
Yeah, really
Okay, well, I mean, I don't know what else to go into that
I mean, it was a horrible game, you got to feel like crap
Even Buffalo probably has to feel horrible
I mean, it lost two games in a row and tried to lose three
Yeah
So what's going on there?
I mean, their defense still looked good
I mean, like I said
Yeah, they held the Jets well
Rodgers looked like that crumpled spider how many times
But the thing is, it looks to me like they don't know when to stop
They're piling on and that's what got them the penalties
How many roughing the passers did they get? Maybe two or three?
Yeah
That's too many
And the league's going to start taking notes of that too, you know
So it's
Hang on a sec
Yeah
Hey, do you see our departure was just
It's been held back another couple hours
I guess we're going to have a longer podcast, aren't we?
Yeah, yeah
I'm glad we brought the mobile rig
I am too
Because I almost didn't pack it, but I thought just in case
Well, I mean, explaining that at TSA was a little odd, but you know
Yeah, but I think they recognized audio gear
I mean, a microphone and interface and everybody's got a laptop
So it wasn't too tough, but
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, we didn't expect to leave so soon
But Rick got called away on some sort of business
So we ended up having to leave early
We were going to do our podcast from there today
Yeah, yeah
But turns out we had time at the airport
Yeah, so there we are
Coolness
So yeah, all right
We can go into something else
Because I don't know what else to say on that really
One more thing to feel bad about for Jets and Bills
Is we both got it wrong
I picked the Jets 23-21
And you picked the Jets 28-24
I thought that this was going to be a statement game
Oops
If they went down their leg anymore
Anyhow
All right, well, I'll take this in order
Because then if I don't, I'll forget
All right, Thursday night game was San Francisco at Seattle
We both picked San Francisco
You picked 27-21, I picked 28-13
And the score was 36-24
San Francisco won, but they still don't look very good
No, they don't
And that's, yeah, that's exactly
It's weird, isn't it?
It is
Purdy was probably the best part of it there
255 yards, three touchdowns, 18 for 28
Those are some pretty good stats
For having a really banged up everybody
Isaac Gurindo, 10 carries for 99 yards
Debo Samuel, three receptions for 102 yards
So big plays
Yeah, some big plays
And that was about it
But something is missing with San Francisco again
And they're playing the Chiefs
That Sunday at 325
Yeah, Super Bowl rematch
Yeah, so, okay
I look for them to have revenge on their mind
But I suggest they don't do it too much
Because I would say that normally they're looking ahead
And this was a trap game
But I don't think that was it
They've been looking like this all year
Kind of like they're kind of looking for a purpose
And is that from losing to the same team twice?
In four years?
I think that's part of it
I'd also like to mention part of it I'm sure is that Christian McCaffrey is out
Yes
And they were like, oh, well, looks like he can't play the first week
Oh, well, looks like he's going to be out again
And then it turns out he's got Achilles tendonitis
And then he goes to Germany and they say you've got it in both legs
And it cannot be cured, but we can manage it and improve it
So that's got to be weighing on the team that the heart and soul of their running game might be done
Yeah, and this is what really got him out of Carolina too
I mean, he's great, he's fantastic
But he can never stay healthy
Yeah
He's kind of like he had a couple of good runs there
Yeah
But then it looks like he's going back to the same McCaffrey
He cannot stay healthy
Yeah, that's got maybe 20% of what's wrong with San Francisco is that
But there's still something else missing
I think Iook is kind of having some behavioral issues
And when I think of San Francisco, I think of frequent short passing
Yes
And then every once in a while you get a long pass or a big run
And that's not kind of what they're doing
No, it's nothing like they were doing last year or the year before
Especially since they got Purdy
Since they got Purdy, that's been the system
Dunk, dunk, dunk, dunk, up long one, dunk, dunk
And you got to think also that Purdy wasn't who they were building the team for
No
When Purdy became the guy, they had already started building the team for somebody else
I think Trey Smith, or not Trey Smith
Trey Lance
Trey Smith is our guy
Trey Lance was supposed to be that guy
And now he's like behind Dak over on the Cowboys who we'll get to in a little bit
So maybe this is transition from Purdy has to sort of learn how to betray Lance
And the offense has to sort of learn how to do it for Brock Purdy
I don't know if Purdy can be a Trey Lance
He's not mobile
Not really
He's not mobile at all
I think a certain amount of it is being found out somewhat
True, yeah, there's a lot of that
I mean Mahomes has been found out, but he's always been able to improvise
And now he's not like the guy that'll give you 450 yards
He's the guy that will get it done when he needs to
Yeah, he was all about the stats and the big plays before
Now he's all about getting done what needs to be done and whatever it takes
He's more of a complete quarterback and it doesn't seem like it, does it?
No, it doesn't
I mean, because I'm a lot more nervous now when the games are going
Oh, me too
He's really good at doing what he needs to do to get the win
Yeah, so part of this two of this game here is Geno Smith was 30 for 52, 312 yards
That sounds good on the surface, right?
One touchdown, two interceptions
Ooh
Geno Smith is coming back to be in Geno Smith to a degree
I think so
He's better than what he was in New York
But he's still kind of an old guy
Yeah, and he's still not the guy
This is a bridge guy at best and they're getting the most out of him
But at the end of the day, Geno Smith is Geno Smith
And Geno Smith has a tendency to do Geno Smith things
So this is what you have here too
So we'll see if Seattle is smart enough to realize when they've got all they can get out of him
And they need to get somebody else to take the next step forward
I think one more trip to the playoffs and a quick exit and I think it's going to be like, okay
They'll figure it out at that point
Well, and also you have a new head coach in there too
Yeah
And I'm sure they want to hit the ground running trying to get some wins
So I think the next thing is going to be about getting the guy and trying to win while you're getting the guy
So anyhow, I mean, I don't know what else to say about that
You got anything else? I mean, really?
Well, just that it used to be you could sacrifice your season to get a good draft pick
But now teams sacrifice the season in another way to get excitement and season ticket sales up
Yeah
Like let's put the exciting guy in even though we're not going to win
And they're sacrificing the season, but it gets the fan base excited
So that might be what Seattle winds up doing or is doing with Geno Smith is like
Well, let's let's make sure we win enough games. Keep everybody excited and buying the season tickets
Yeah, then we'll get Mr. Next Guy
Yeah, and I think that might be what's going on over there. I agree with that
Okay
The next game up is Jacksonville at Chicago in London
And which they're staying in London because they're playing this week in London
And I think it's pretty easy. We discussed it a little bit ago
Okay, Jacksonville does not have a very good following and they never sell out
They would be the perfect team to go to Europe and start a league
Yeah
Like they're talking about doing
A four game division stock at least two teams move them from the US to there and then put expansion teams in the US
Carolina might be the other one
I can see they were expansion teams together here in 95 was it?
Yeah, 95
So yeah, move those to one to London one to Berlin or Frankfurt and then sign up two more teams and you've got a division
That's what I think is going on. That's why they're just keeping Jacksonville over there
It's not like Jacksonville's missing any sales or anything. I mean, no, it doesn't really hurt them to give up a home game
They're they're the home team this this coming week. So that means they're giving up a home game, but big whoop
Yeah, I know they're kind of like sure you want us to give up anymore. Talk to Carolina about not getting much of a home
Oh gosh. Yeah, so you picked Chicago 2114
I picked Chicago 2712 and it turned out to be 35 to 16 Caleb Williams was doing it. He was doing it
I mean, he didn't make huge plays
He made the right play and he had one where his receiver fought and fought and fought to get in the end zone
Mm-hmm as a quarterback, you got to really appreciate that. Oh, is that counts for your stats, too? Yeah
You should have been he should have been taken down three times. Yeah, and he just would not give
I mean, I think he had like one rag left on the side of his arm when it was done and that was it
I mean the shirt was gone pretty much
The team is looking good. Mm-hmm
The Jags are a heap of trash
The Peterson watch is in full bloom
Yeah, last week's win didn't help him anymore. No, the Jags were mistake ridden like always
I'm wondering what's taken so long for Peterson to be let go
It is odd
Who was the okay before Peterson they had a guy there. He was a he was a college coach
Mm-hmm very well known one. Yeah, he was there for one year. He left he let the team go back from Indiana
He let them go back to Jacksonville. He stayed in Indiana and was like messing with some girl or something. Oh, yeah
Urban Meyer Urban Meyer. Yeah. Okay. Now they didn't fire urban Meyer right away
Mm-hmm. They waited till the end of the year
Yeah, if I remember correctly, yeah, they let their season go to waste they're like Jerry Jones
Yeah, they're not going to do anything. I don't think I don't think they're gonna go well, let's let the offensive coordinator do it
We talked to him. I
Think that actually man, I hate those billboards up there. I know they just jump right in. I know they interrupt our show
so
In your monitoring. Oh my gosh, they needed Wow, they they kicked the plug out and shut us right down
Yeah, I was wondering what happened. I thought you lost power. I'm like, oh shit
It kind of did I mean they didn't the equipment didn't exactly completely shut down, but it be crap everything crashed
Okay, so we're back up and running where we relocated a little more out of the way so there's not gonna be as much
Traffic walking by yeah mobile recording you gotta love it. Yep
It is what it is. Yep. So
Anyhow, we were we were talking about Jacksonville's urban Meyer
Meyer yeah, he might not get fired midseason. Yeah, but Peterson is definitely gone. Yeah
No, I mean no way to keep if you're Jacksonville. What do you do?
I mean, didn't they sign a Trevor Lawrence to a bigger deal? Yeah
Boy, that's not looking. Yeah. Yeah, that's that didn't age. Well, no
You know Trevor Lawrence can be a pretty good quarterback when he's got a good team around him
That's what it takes. That's what it takes. He's not gonna have one of them for the foreseeable future
Yeah, so I think Jacksonville is where they are. They're gonna be lucky to be a 79
8 8 9 team they'll be battling with Miami for the bottom spot. Yeah
Yeah, a team or something like that or worse. Yeah. Yeah
Well, I mean that is what it is. Yeah, and also Chicago is playing good
Fundamentally sound football from both sides of the field and also special teams. Mm-hmm
They are looking like a really good team in development. Mm-hmm
So it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to watch how how well they develop and Caleb
Williams watching what he is doing because he seems to be slowly getting it a little bit more each game
Yeah, that was something I was watching for us to see if his
They opened up playbill a little more gave him more responsibilities more options and they are they are yeah
That means not only do they trust him, but he's at he's catching on or remembering and doing well
Yeah, they're giving him more responsibility. So it's like, okay
It looks like they might have their franchise quarterback now
I hope he breaks the curse because nobody should lose their career just cuz they go to the Bears. No, I know
I mean like we're saying that is the graveyard
That is the graveyard for quarterbacks. Well, I think you're right. I think maybe this guy might have broken the curse
Let's hope so. Yeah, it's for his sake
You know, if you're not a Bears fan, you got at least like Caleb Williams
I like exciting it. Oh, he's so fun. So fun to watch
Yeah, I mean him and Jaylen Williams
Daniels are just so fun to watch you see that
Jaylen Daniels kind of hit the ground running a little bit more
Yeah
But it's great watching both of them
I just remember to have some
Football notes on my phone. I want to make sure I brought them up. Oh good. Yeah, okay
I'll get through them as we go. Okay. All right. So the next game was noon
Tampa Bay at New Orleans
Mm-hmm
Final score was 51 to 27
We both picked Tampa Bay, but not by that margin. You were 29 10. I was 21 7. Yeah
I put on this the return of Jameis Winston to Tampa
And here's why Mayfield
24 36
325 yards four touchdowns three
Interceptions whoo the third
325 yards four touchdowns three
Interceptions whoo then that sound like Jameis Winston exactly it really does. Yeah
Yeah
At least he won though. Mm-hmm. Jameis Winston probably would have lost
Yeah, yeah, I can see that
Sean Tucker ran for 14 carries 136 yards. That's pretty good. Yeah
Gobwin 11 receptions 125 yards two touchdowns
The field Spencer Radler the backup to uh, um
car car
22 of 40 243 one touchdown two interceptions
Kamara only had 40 yards on 13 rushes
Yeah, their offense is struggling and their defense is obviously struggling if you give up 51 yeah
Uh, wow, new orleans had high hopes at the beginning of the year. I had high hopes for them
uh
Tampa Bay's got him figured out. Yeah, Derek Carr
one of the reasons
He is in an upper echelon quarterback. He has a good arm. He seems pretty smart
Can't stay healthy and he's widely inconsistent. He's not in there right now. So um this guy here, uh, Spencer Radler
Is actually doing a decent job. He is
So I mean to get 243 and one touchdown the two interceptions
Well, I kind of you know, I mean you kind of figure that he hasn't started in very many games. Yeah
Yeah, i've been in that many so it shows that he's taking chances, which I like. Yeah
He's trusting his arm. Yeah, so
Anyhow, I mean, I don't know what else to say to me. It's like the return of uh,
Jamus Winston to Tampa only
This guy's a little bit more seasoned has been there has done that a little bit
You know, he's been in a couple of uh, playoff games
and so um
And I don't know if he's going to keep us up the uh, great stats except for the interception touchdown ratio
I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. I mean I was pretty high on him at first
Yeah, he has really good games and this looks like a really bad game. Let's hope it's like
The only one maybe got it all out of his system. Yeah, so we'll see what happens
But I mean, yeah, there there you go on that one. You got anything more on that one really? No, no
That's that was kind of new orleans is going to struggle and to get their offense figured out
Yeah, so and I think that's not going to be this year probably not
so
All right. Next up is washington at baltimore
Uh final score was baltimore 30 to 23. We both got this wrong
Uh, I had them 23 washington 23 13 and you had washington 35 32
22 but it was a back and forth game. Yeah, but
Commanders made one or two more mistakes than baltimore did and then baltimore made some plays that they can only they can
Yeah, I mean it was a close game, but not as close as it sounds
Yeah, baltimore was obviously the superior team and the more seasoned team, but the commanders did good
and they should yeah, they definitely showed up and they played well and they
Don't have anything to be embarrassed about no jaden daniels was 24 for 35 269
With two touchdowns
Daniels was also the leading rusher, which is a problem with 22 yards. Oh
so
Baltimore's run defense
Yeah, the good game
And I don't know if the commander's running is that good? So who knows erts had 68 yards
now
Jackson was 20 of 26
And that efficient but listen to the yards on this 20 of 26 for 3 23. Whoa
Yeah
That was some pretty good chunks there. Yeah, it's like 15 yards per completion. Yeah
one touchdown one interception henry went for uh,
24 carries and 132 yards and two touchdowns. So derek henry
Um had a really good game is starting to pick it up. He's starting to get this system
You're starting to see why they wanted him
Yeah, and uh, he seems to have some in the tank now get back to me. Um on the 17th week
And we'll see how he's doing that. He is an older running back
I know he's big and all that and he's durable but he hasn't he has had a few injuries
So we'll see where this goes. Yeah, but right now he's fitting the offense rather well
Baltimore would do well to get
Um someone who can take like 10 to 12 carries a game off of derek henry if necessary. Yeah, not automatically just if necessary
Yeah, they need that other guy and they may have him. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. Yeah, so develop that kind of guy and
They'll do better. I see where they're going though. I see where they're going and they're doing keep away
Yeah, yeah, that's right. This is our only hope of beating the chiefs or someone like jayden daniels actually is this keep the ball away from them
Give them less time to do something against you
You know, that's kind of how baltimore won that super bowl in it's exactly 2000 2000. Yeah, that's exactly how they did
They didn't do it on a quarterback. No, they had the defense that would just
Stuff you constantly and your offense could never get going
And then they'd go out and take you know, three to five minutes to drive. Oh, yeah
I mean, I said I really do think that uh lamar jackson and company would have a ring if it wasn't for patrick mahomes
Yeah, so yeah, I think so
But well in an alternate universe that that's what happened. Yeah
Yeah, there we go
Not in this one. Nope. Nope. We're stuck with disson
Washington good, but not quite a challenger yet
flowers had nine receptions for 132
yards
Z z flowers z flowers. Yeah. Yeah, I keep trying to think zay, but it's z. It's z
I think it's spelt zay in there. No zey
I don't even remember. Oh, well, what it way anyhow. Whoa. I just spilled my coffee. Oh
Here comes a janitor
Oh, he just gave you a dirty look and walked off. Yeah, he wants you to clean it
I have to bust my own table man. Yeah, pretty much. Well, i'll tip myself really well
Oh, he turned around on that one
Now too late man, forget it
Now the worst part is I wasted coffee. That's
That's definitely the the crime against coffee
Juan valdez is gonna haunt my dreams
I wonder whatever happened to Juan Valdez. I don't know. They did those awesome commercials with him and his little bro and they were picking coffee beans and
Of course he was probably just you know, some some electrician they say hey come here and play this guy in the commercial way
Good one
All right, let's just
Uh, good one. Yeah. Um, all right. Let's shall we move along? Yes, we should all right
Arizona at green bay
um
I think the cards are now showing what the cards are. Hmm. Definitely. Yeah
It was 34 13
Uh, you picked green bay 24 14 and I for some reason picked arizona 28 17
Wow, kind of regret that but uh, um
Something I saw
Green bay doing over and over that I thought was so smart
Is normally when you give the team
When you gave you know a hard count
And arizona could jump offside, but as long as they didn't touch anybody they could jump back. Yeah
but green bay
Went into the game with the plan is as soon as they jump offside
Somebody on the offensive line touch him, you know move and touch him and say hey he drew me off
And it worked over and over and over. Yes. Yeah, and it's a free five yards
Every team should do that the moment somebody goes offside the whole offensive line should stand up and say hey
That guy drew me off because he was offside
It'll work. It does work. Yeah green bay got like 20 yards on four, you know, five yards per four
occasion
Um, that was that's a good point. That was very smart. Um
Um pretty good strategy from matt lefleur
um
Okay now jordan love
What kind of a read did you get from him this time?
Inconsistent still bingo. Yeah
he's got
Ability and he's got flashes and for a while he can be really good and be on but man
It just comes and goes like a radio signal. Yeah, you know fades in and fades out. Yeah
So that's that's brutal to try to plan a game around your quarterback and you don't know if he's going to keep it
Also, uh, kyler murray looks better. He has been looking better this year, but it's a different uh, different coach
Um different system. I think he's working well in the system, but they just don't have a team really
I mean, it's just it's lacking so many areas that you're going to get probably um
500 or below somewhere around there
I if I were a professional football player, I wouldn't mind playing for arizona, but I would not want to live there
Especially in the phoenix area
Super hot super dry and it's like 90 old retired people. Yeah. Yeah
That's why nobody's at their games. How much fun can you have?
You can't do anything outside until it's like the middle of winter which lasts about three hours
So it's just it's brutal conditions outside so you're not playing out there, but that's if that's where you got to live
Yeah, you're not really thinking seriously about a free agency contract with arizona because like oh my god
I don't want to live in that heat
Yeah, I never thought about that. That's gonna be kind of hard to attract people. Yeah, and besides the cardinals
They're just not sexy
No
They've been kicked around a few times
They started in chicago. Yeah, then they got kicked to st. Louis and then they got kicked to phoenix and now they're the arizona cardinals
Yeah, so even phoenix didn't want him. Yeah, I said no, let's just go ahead and go with arizona
Yeah, you you can't use the name phoenix. You don't you don't earn it yet. We don't like it. We don't like you well enough
We don't have that kind of relationship now
Okay. All right. Well, I don't know what else to say about that. That's pretty much it
Next up we have indy at tennessee
Indy won 20 to 17. We both got that correct. I was 25 17. You were 18 to 12. All right here
I'm gonna throw cathetti up
We we
Uh indy is kind of being indy
Yeah, they kind of rise to the level of their opponent and all this all fall to the level
They're still missing richardson aren't they? Yeah. Yeah
And tennessee's just not much no levis. Um, oh I had some stats on let me find them here 95 yards one interception
That's the whole game
That's pretty weak. Yeah flocco
Joe flocco 20 of 17 189 yards two touchdowns one interception
So it wasn't a big big passing day for either time no
Um flocco did okay. I mean, I guess you know, uh, he did all right, but levis
He's having trouble catching on isn't he?
Yeah, I mean or maybe he's scared all the time or just all his confidence is gone
He looked better last year than he does this year. I don't know. I mean he's he's regressing. Yeah
So, um, I don't know man. I think that like right now you have to be really seriously
Before you destroy the guy all the way benching him
Yeah, yeah, don't don't think of it as you're not good enough thinking of as you need a break and a reset
Yeah, and you know a lot of that's coaching and everything that you do and i'm not convinced on this new coach at all
I mean he he shows two personalities
He shows one, you know, like when he was like sirianni and philly. Yeah
That little pipe he's so awful little fucking that little little mean guy
I'm nick sirianni. I'm gonna beat you up with my little tiny fist arrowhead mount up to me
And he got in it with with his his
Own he got into it with philly fan after the game was yelling at people the stands
And then he passed it off with his kid in his lap. Oh, it's just what we do
You know, we rag on it, then it breeds out to the rest of the team. It's like breeds out. What the fuck does that mean?
I mean he got
I never thought he's intellectual
No, but I don't know quite what breeds out
Don't know quite what breeds out means. Yeah, and I think he has since walked that back and said yeah, that wasn't right
I shouldn't be out there yelling and cussing at fans. You know why someone hired him told me that
Yeah, the league office said you go you go fix that. Yeah
You know what you just said you just said it's okay for coaches to yell at fans. You go back there and retract that right now
He said had to say yes, sir, please continue my paycheck sir. Yes. I'm very sorry about that won't happen again
Oh
Okay. All right. Next one Houston at New England
It was 41 21. We both predicted a big win. I said I was 31 13 and you were 35 10
We both did pretty good on that one. Yeah
Houston's looking better. Yeah. Yeah Stroud
192 yards three touchdowns one interception
He was good, but the big story is mixing came back
Yeah, 102 yards one touchdown
Thing and needs more games like that out of him and then New England was it may make or to break?
Yeah had a bad game two and about three yards three touchdowns two interceptions and he was on his ass
Oh, he was on his ass a lot. I can say this about Drake May though. He took chances
Which is good, which is really good. Yeah, you're not gonna stay on the team by playing it safe
They seem to be really happy with it good. So, okay
I mean all the all the indications from what they were saying is is they're like, you know what? Yeah
Yeah, this guy is actually just going out there and not like Jones Mac Jones
Never could just go out there and drive the ball down this guy did somewhat Drake May did somewhat but he's trying to yeah
He's trying to come up with a path of winning. He's trying to drive
He's trying to get it to coin and getting 21 points against the Texans who have a pretty good
Yeah, they do is actually kind of an accomplishment for a new guy like Drake May
Yeah, it kind of shows that right now or at least for that game. Their problems were on the defense exactly
Yeah, but then again, you know you have Stroud and mix and over kind of figuring it out now
Mm-hmm, and they are four and one now or is it five and one?
They're five and one now five and one. Yeah, they haven't had their bye week. Yeah, so
Yeah, so, I mean the Texans look like they're gonna be there every step of the way
They did their initial win last year in the playoffs. Yeah
So I look for them to do some damage this year. I
Don't know how impatient a Patriots fan is gonna be but I think as an organization the Patriots would be happy with
finishing close to 500 and
Having some good pieces on both sides of the ball that they can build around
I think that's pretty much that would be a successful team a season for them. I think so, too
Yeah, yeah, I mean that must be bumming out red Sox weren't in it
Yeah, I think the Bruins are doing okay. So yeah, yeah, I got their little wieners hard on that one. So
Yeah, I mean, I don't know what else to say. I mean Texans look great
It's gonna take a while for the Patriots the Patriots
The cheat
Robbie craft hey, will you rub this craft?
Yes, that's probably where Deshaun Watson got all his info for the hey, I need a happy ending
Yeah, Robert Kraft knows where all the hookers are
Now remember to put the money down here and wink at it. You can't say this. You can't say that
Here's the secret handshake
Oh, this next game is gonna be fun imagine is wrinkly fucking nuts. Oh old man nuts
Oh bad enough I have them. I don't think about anybody else's I wear extra tight under one act like it's not happening
It's like when your kids growing you measure, you know, see how high they're getting you make the mark
Yeah, you get my age. You just measure. Hello. Your balls are hanging. I was like drop another quarter inch
Okay, all kinds of inappropriate, yes, all right, this is gonna be good Cleveland at Philly
So Philly won in a game that nobody really cares about
16 to 20 20 to 16 I should say yeah, we both got it right. I was 20 to 10 you were 27 14. Yeah
Gosh
Three two things that really disturbed me right off the bat
From this game is is one Cleveland going into their bye week. The head coach has already said nope Deshaun Watson
That's it. That's you know him going forward that gives us best chance to win
He's doubling down and sticking to it going into the bye week
You want to hear his stats sure hundred sixty eight yards. No touchdowns
That is anemic as anemic can be it is that's I mean you'd be okay with a backup getting that coming in last minute
But that's your starter that you paid a buttload for and traded for the only guy that might have had a worse day was Levis
Yeah, yeah
the other thing that concerned me after that was
As we talked about Sirianni getting into the fans after the game. I never was a big fan
he's no
he's kind of a punk kind of like a
Oh, what would you say? I want to be wise guy. Yeah. Yeah, you know like hey, yeah hang around. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, you know kind of like a guy that like
Ran errands for somebody that was really big up or something and you know, yeah. Yeah that kind of a guy
Yeah, yeah, you couldn't come over here and you're gonna give me this money now, aren't you? You know, I mean
he acts kind of
very
Undisciplined. Yeah, and he acts kind of like
What do you call it like oh
Someone that would intimidate you but he doesn't
Yeah, he's trying to be in it like an enforcer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you know a heavy
Yeah, the guy you take along when you say hey pay your bets or this guy's gonna hit you and the guys looking over there
going
This aren't you
He's
Billy but he doesn't really seem to have much going with it's Billy fan all the way. Yes
I agree him having his child on his lap was not impressive either
No, he tried to tone it down
Maybe even someone said so he was grinning real hard and he took his hat off and yeah, no, no, no
Nobody's believed that now
You know
He had all the other issues too where he had his bodyguard shit and all that stuff and everything going on
Um, he is not the right guy. I think
Yeah, not I mean, but I'm not a fan. So I don't really feel he's three and two now
So I mean he's not lighting the world on fire is he no Jaylin hurts had a good game though
Me had kind of a bounce back game. He had 264 yards two touchdowns
That's good. He's due for one like that. Yeah, he is he kind of been I don't know maybe dinged up or something could be so anyhow
Well, like I said before Jaylin hurts is a broken leg waiting to happen
Every time he pulls out of the pocket. He scares you. Mm-hmm
I
Mean gone are the days when I you know in my youth I'd like root against other quarterbacks and now I want everybody have a good
Long career and yeah
Yeah
I just want chiefs to win all the time
But I mean I can't sleep
But I mean I was we still want John Elway to sprain his ankle
Yeah, or accidentally bite himself with those big big ass horse. Oh that way
Yeah, that'd be suicide. Yeah
Yeah, he can't help the horse teeth. I shouldn't make fun of him for that. Oh, go ahead
It was his choice not to fix them. That's right
At least I understand why Freddie Mercury did and he is afraid he is gonna hurt his voice
Yeah, so he's like no no leave the buck teeth
And then Cindy Crawford had that that tick on the side of her face. Yeah, we all thought it was a beauty mark
It was actually a tick. Yeah, you know was her pet and she didn't take an eye. I understand. She called him fluffy
Fluffy the tick fluffy the tick that's good. Then there's Vince Neil the tick that's different
He is
All righty, well Cleveland's going into the bye week so they might as well stay there
Oh, yeah, really bring us a minor league team. Yeah. All right the beginning of the three o'clock games
We have the the lactating Los Angeles Chargers
LAC they're lactating. Yep, they need to pump their breast milk before the game. Yes, they were at Denver
Justin Herbert does it work very well. Yeah. Yeah, I heard Diddy will just kind of suck that right out your
Freak out freak out freak out
This is white parties
All right allegedly allegedly
All right final score the Chargers 23 16 surprisingly enough. It was it was surprising. Yeah, we both got it wrong
I was 31 27 you were 27 24. Yeah, so we thought it was gonna be close game
We didn't see it here that one game wasn't no carry
So, um, okay Herbert was 21 34 237 and one touchdown
That's not bad Dobbins had 96 yards, which isn't bad
And one touchdown Bo Nicks had two 16 two touchdowns one interception. Yeah, so
Bo Nicks is doing a nice job still
I think that a lot of that's just gonna be
It's gonna that's Denver. Yeah, you have a good game. You're gonna have a bad game
You're gonna have a good game. They are rebuilding solid Sean Payton seems to be kind of nurturing Bo Nicks
It's gonna be just good. Yeah, we're gonna see in a couple of years how this turns out
Yeah, my first test for Bo Nicks. He's he's already passed is they're giving him more
Offense to work run. Yes, he's doing it well and he's handling it and he's managing games
Well at NFL speeds
So the next test I'd like to see is him getting more consistent from this point on yes through the
repetition of you know, I'm always doing these plays with these receivers and so
Consistency during the game and from game to game. That's that's gonna be the next thing I look for in him
Yeah
I agree with that. Yeah, so far he has passed every test
Wow, he is climbing up the ladder to me. He's kind of like a he could be an Alex Smith
Wow, that that is something to aspire to that really is. Yeah. I'm not saying he is
I'm saying he could be mm-hmm. Yeah, I can see him turning into that. Yeah, he doesn't have that pinpoint arm
But he seems to have the intelligence and a good enough for him. Yeah, so the rest is gonna be I mean Sean Payton can groom
A guy definitely he can definitely groom a quarterback. Yeah
He did very well with Drew Brees. Although Drew Brees was already good when he got him true true
And a lot of that was defense still
Sean Payton
He kept a good rapport with Drew Brees for a long time. Yeah. Yeah, he knows how to handle a quarterback
You know, we'll just let a quarterback a quarterback
So any quarterback, you know, they kind of have their basic needs and how you handle them and Sean Payton
He's good at that and then tailoring it to the
Circumstances guy which is a young guy fresh into the league. He's doing it right. I really think he is I agree
Not a real big fan of Sean Payton, but I mean he's not screwing up some of his career. Yeah
Yeah, I mean look I mean Denver is so far removed from me in any type of competition
I just don't I don't have any right now the worst they could do to us would be you know spoil a
Unbeaten record yeah. Yeah, and that's what they've been relegated to in our minds
Yeah, so we're not necessarily actively going against Bo Nicks
We kind of like he seems like a nice enough kid. Mm-hmm wish him well. Yeah, I loved watching him play at Oregon
Yeah, I like to watch Oregon game. Hey when they picked him. I thought that was a good pick didn't you? Yeah
Yeah, I thought that was a really good fit, especially for a guy that's known for quarterbacks
You know when Sean Payton did want my homes. Yeah
I read that article and he snuck down there like Reed and Beach did
He snuck down there real quick just one afternoon met with him talked with him did a little workout came back and said
Yeah, that's the guy we want
And then Reed moved up in front of him. Yeah, he looked at the rest of the guys. He said we're not getting my homes
So there there you go. My homes went for the barbecue. Yes. Well, he couldn't help it
Reed took a dump right on Sean Payton's head
So yeah, so not much else to talk about there with Denver and the Chargers
They're both I mean Chargers is a team that should go somewhere
But really isn't and Denver's a team that isn't expected to do much and they're actually doing fairly well
The Chargers have a decent quarterback. Mm-hmm. They have some young receivers that can get it done. Their defense is okay
I mean, they're good for at least 500 or should be they were good
They could be my surprise team
Like I said, they could catch fire in a bottle and maybe do a little bit better
Yeah, are they a threat to win very many playoff games if they make it there playoffs playoffs. No
But they're a threat to maybe make them. Yeah, so there I mean, yeah, that's about it
So well, I guess we can move on here's a weird thing to leave on Denver is foreign to and in second place
You know, we're staying that weird. Yes, that is so weird
All right, okay
Next game Pittsburgh at Las Vegas
Pittsburgh won 32 13 we both got that correct. I was 30 to 10 you were 27 17
Vegas is I
Mean they're classic classic
Rebuilding team they just got rid of Devante Adams. So they're all in on the rebuilding
Yeah, Devante wasn't gonna play for him this year. No, and I don't blame him
it's
I said last week and I'm not picking Vegas the rest of the season because they are just in utter disarray
Worse than I thought I didn't look him. I didn't look for him. I look for maybe be 500
So, you know as close as you can get that there they can't figure out a starting quarterback. They're going back to a no Connell, I guess
It's it's interesting how someone would like virtually no statistics
Keeps getting the starting job back
Talk about inept. I mean, I guess this secret is to get on a team where everyone sucks more than you do
Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't keep Garoppolo or better yet
Derek Carr. Mm-hmm. I don't understand that they ran Derek Carr out as fast as they could
I mean, it's like they hated him for some reason
He was probably him and Garoppolo were the two best options and they ran
Garoppolo out there too. So I don't really yeah. Hmm. I don't know
Was it Mark Davis the son of Al Davis and Mark Davis? Yeah. Yeah. Well, hmm
Cephalous does tend to rot your brain. Just saying yes. Yeah
But I spelled O'Connell wrong
As it been pointed out
several times think about
Playing in Las Vegas. You have zero home field advantage ever
Now everybody travels to Vegas to watch a game. Yeah, buddy does yeah
Yeah, and your fans don't travel because they live in Vegas and they party all the time
They're not coming out where they work there or yeah, they're like, why should I go to Kansas City?
No, yeah, it does seem odd the league was so excited about getting a team in Vegas
But they have zero home field advantage zero
Aura about their home field and then their fans don't travel. Yeah. Yes
It's it's gonna be awful hard. Oh, sorry. I just thought that was that little dog that's been moving around here
I thought that was that little dog. Oh, okay. Oh
Yeah, I see him
She's over there now. I don't know what on one flight. I saw a woman in line ahead of me
She had a backpack that kind of a screened in backpack with a cat in the backpack. Oh, I've seen that. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it is
You know what I do. I go by and try to tickle them. Yeah, they start scratching. Yeah, we I touch your pussy cat
All right TV PG 13
Yeah. All right. So Pittsburgh's looking better week after week. They look like
a rock that's rolling downhill and picking up speed. Yeah, they really do Justin Fields. Mm-hmm. Do them well
Not overwhelming not underwhelming just doing well
I guess that's a start because he does have underlying talent obviously
So I guess what you're having here is this increments
Yeah, Mike Tomlin's taking him up a notch a little bit at a time and you're not gonna see the finished product probably for another
Couple of years. Yeah, if he sticks with him, there's something to be said for that is is reaching to an attainable goal
Yes, and I think that's what he's doing. Yeah, let your team experience successes all along the way. Yeah
Which is that's Mike Tomlin. I mean, he's one of the best coaches out there and I look for him nothing else
So yeah, yeah, so I just noticed something is a little out of place on our microphone. I'll fix it next break
Oh, okay. Part of the suspension is has been detached
I'll bet you one of those douchebags that uses a microphone. They probably screwed it up. Probably so I'll be dry humping it
Yeah, probably well, they're douchebags. Yeah, that's true
Okay moving along we have Atlanta at Carolina, okay
Score was 38 20. I picked 23 10 you picked 23 10
You picked 35 20 so you were almost exactly right on that was pretty close. Yeah. All right. Well yay for me
I did like Carolina's uniforms. I did too. Yeah, I thought that's pretty neat. It's about all all the good things
I have to say about Carolina. That's about it
Falcons did good Kirk Cousins 225 yards one touchdown
Tyler
Algear
Algeir what is it? Algear? Algear? I think country Algear. I think it is pronounced Algear. Yeah 18 carries for 105 yards
the Red Rocket Dalton
221 two touchdowns two interceptions. Oh, so he's starting to revert to Andy Dalton. Yes. Yes
So when do you put young in I
Think you do it next game. Yeah. Yeah, I would say so
I'm I don't know when Carolina's bye week is but if their bye week is in the next
Week or three then do it after the bye week
But if your bye week is much later than just good. No, just go ahead and pull the band-aids off
Yeah, and the team is settled in the team has figured it out and hopefully you've had young
practicing with them and sitting in and on everything so he'd be up to speed but
Yeah, I'd say it's about time to put him back in. Yeah, I do too. Excuse me. I think so
Yeah, I
Mean I don't know what else to say except I mean, you know, the Falcons are doing swell. They're doing good
They're gonna land a layout
Playoff spot probably. Oh, yeah, I could see that and cousins has got the experience to win a game or two
Yeah, yeah, so I think they're fine and I don't think they expect any more than that
Yeah, I think that's what they're looking at and I think they're happy with that because they were so inept before
Yeah, so that's good. They got rid of the Matt Ryan
Hangover, I guess or whatever old long neck long neck Ryan
I'm trying to remember back when the Falcons made the Super Bowl. Was that before Matt Ryan or that was with that was early in Ryan's career
So really I don't remember the in the time. I've been paying attention to the Falcons
I don't remember them having a franchise quarterback other than Matt Ryan
No, I think Matt Ryan was it they drafted him number one, I think overall didn't they I think so. Yeah
And then you had what's his name? Oh the fucking owner. I forgot his name out there dancing like they won and yeah
Then they lost was it Arthur blank Arthur blank. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, he's out there dancing like they won and
Tom Brady took notice
So
I
Watched this whole game that was amazing Detroit at Dallas. Oh, it was beautiful
Yes, it was beautiful. The two teams that always host on Thanksgiving played each other. Yes, and it's been a while
It's like what nine years
47 to 9 however yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving
Oh, that's right. I know that's cuz my relatives from Canada were in town and we had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at Corozo's
Oh awesome. Yeah
No, turkey. No pasta
Why not do you want hey Columbus it was on Columbus Day and he was Italian right? So that's why we had pasta
That's right. Yeah, he had Portuguese Portuguese backing, but he was Italian. Yeah, so there there we go
He did have Portuguese backing. Yeah, Queen is the belt. No Queen Isabella of Spain of Spain. That's right
He was Portuguese with Spanish backing
Okay, that was it. Okay. Well anyhow, we had pasta anyhow
Portuguese pasta. Yeah, there we go. It's a little brittle, but we left it
But as they say Columbus never discovered anything except that he was lost
He thought they were Indians from
Yeah, like wow, I thought they look different he was looking for Rajesh Kutra Polly
Look at is mr. Patel here
You gotta be a little more specific man, that's like yeah, yeah, there's a bunch of them which one
Let's see. Well, I picked Dallas 24 17
What was I thinking and you picked Detroit 21 17 neither one of us saw the blowout?
No, we didn't. Um, well it started off just I mean as one of those games where they just Dallas just
Fucking laid a turd. Oh gosh and just kept laying a turd
um how
I expected Jerry Jones to jump down there with a crowbar and fucking smack
McCarthy McCarthy right in the back of the head
And take the and take the headphones and take them on and start doing it himself
Now did yeah, I mean appreciate the full weight of this. This was Jerry Jones 82nd birthday
And he had a home game of his team in his stadium and they stunk it up that bad
Yeah, wow. Yes, that's really bad here. Listen to this
Okay, Jared Goff. Mr. Jekyll and Hyde himself
315 yards three touchdowns
Montgomery
Receiver 80 yards two touchdowns
Old Dak Dax out for a harambe
178 yards two interceptions bad ones bad interceptions. Yeah, um
He should have been benched on those. Oh, yeah, whether you believe he's a starter or not
They should just said you know what?
Trey don't tray Lance in there. Fuck him. I mean he looks so bad
It looked like he never was a prolific passer, which he is generally. Mm-hmm
I mean, I'm not sure if he's a prolific passer
he's generally, um
I mean, I don't know what to say this team not only regressed
They just like went to hell. Yeah, I mean they just kind of like hey just
I don't know they've got more underlying problems. It would take a herd of psychologists to even start to scrape this. Yeah
um
As you know I
Said before the only the only person gerry. Jones needs to fire his jerry. Jones jerry. Jones
Yeah, and I don't mean sell the team
I mean take yourself out of the football operations and concentrate on the business
Remember the bullet points last year last week or the week before they should we decided they should fire Jerry Jones
The league should fire him and tell him you have to sell that team. Yeah, just like Dan Snyder
I mean, it's not like they don't have enough
Evidence on the guy for a lot of different things
Allegedly well, here's the complication there. He'll take his stadium with him
Yeah
Okay, it's like where you gonna play next year
Does A&M have a facility?
We ain't going to Oklahoma man
They're only 150 miles downstream
He'll move well, he's from Arkansas. He'll move into Pine Bluff
The Pine Bluff Cowboys
Oh that just hurts
I've been to Pine Bluff. Oh my gosh
I've been through Pine Bluff
Yeah, same here
Not much to look forward to for Dallas
I mean there's you know is it is it the dark jerseys now that they're wearing at home
It's is that the curse of the dark jerseys because they never used to wear dark jerseys. That's it
It was white all the time even on the road
They'd be white and only if the opposing team forced them would they ever wear their dark jerseys. I'm gonna say yes
So yeah, it's been the three home games that they've lost and all three of them
They're wearing the dark jerseys like I would look for something different towards those jerseys
My prediction is is Dallas gonna look great next week. I gotta see who they play but that's just what kind of team they are
Yeah, I mean they'll look great once horrible once
I mean, they're just like not a steady team not consistent not a good team not a horrible team
They're just kind of like Dallas. Yeah. Yeah, you don't really think of Dallas as being that kind of back-and-forth team
They're the good or they're bad. Yeah, but this is just all over the map
Yeah, I did hear that they had grief counselors available in the locker room. Yes, I did. Yeah for the Cowboys
Yeah, one of them was Michael Irvin. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, he did a good job and they had a little area where they could
You know do build a bear. Yeah. Yeah that did that help. Yeah, Tori Aikman actually showed did the first build a bear
Yeah, he showed everybody. Yeah, and then he said point to me point on the build a bear where the other team hurt you
And they pointed everything
Okay, I'm done being mean. Yeah, Joe Buckle, you're absolutely right Troy. You're absolutely right
All right, since we already talked about Monday night football the last game we have is the Sunday night game
Yeah, which I watched I wasn't planning to watch the whole thing
But by golly it just kept going down to the wire. So yeah, I wind up watching the whole thing
It was 17-7 since the over new although it's much closer than what that sounded. Yeah
Again, not a very well played game. We both picked a blowout. I picked 31 17
You picked 35 10, but it was close all game long. Yeah again lots of penalties. I saw scores taken off the board
I see how come I see how come
Nattie is so horrible now. Mm-hmm. They are so undisciplined
Zach Taylor has got to feel some heat. He's lost his team
They're just doing what they feel like and he's they don't apparently feel
Fear the retribution of the coach. Yeah, the only team that seems to recover well from being they didn't they weren't in the playoffs last year
You know burrow was out all year. Yeah
But it seems to be like they're the Chiefs kind of leave a little
I don't know a trail of teams that are like kind of like don't know how to get over it. Yeah
Yeah, it's like we break something in them. Yeah. Yeah in Cincinnati almost seems like maybe one of those teams. Yeah
I think San Francisco is another
Yeah, and possibly Baltimore
Baltimore's been Jacqueline high to you right? They're playing right right now
But I mean they had enough ways they could lose these games too. So
Yeah
Cincinnati
If they get to if they get to the playoffs at all
Mm-hmm, they're gonna have to figure this shit out because they're not gonna go anywhere
Yeah that
They could what there will it two and four now they could possibly back into the playoffs
but
One and done one and done. Yeah, yeah
A burrow was a 19 to 28 208 yards not bad the biggest problem with this whole performance is burrow was their leading
rusher yeah
55 yards and one rush touchdown no throws
Yeah, as as questionable as Joe Mixon was gonna be he's better than what they got now
Well, Joe Mixon is actually starting to I think he was injured for one thing. He wasn't feeling really well
He's starting to get with the program. He's looking pretty good
I guarantee you
Cincinnati's looking over there going you could use him right now. Yeah, whoever they had is his replacement didn't show up. So
Daniel Jones is Daniel Jones 205 yards one interception
There you go
Figure yeah, I mean there's really I don't know what else to say about that
I mean, yeah, it was very poor play game and yeah, even for the Giants they're underachieving
Yeah. Yeah, I mean they
Number one Daniel Jones was never that guy like they acted like he was you know
It's almost like a pretend world that they were in like this is our guy
It was like look at each other going on
You didn't realize you're talking about Jones, right? You're talking about Daniel Jones same guy. Yeah, this is our guy
Okay, then we'll see you guys later
I
Don't know what else to say man. I mean, you know, both teams look pretty bad
Yeah, I don't see the season getting much better for either one of them
No, I mean either the only thing is the saving grace is I think I went over Cincinnati schedule last game last show
It's not that bad. No, no, but when you're playing that bad
Yeah, yeah
Since he's gonna find a way to lose some games they should win. Yeah, which should be fine with me true true
Yeah, I'll definitely be good on that
So that's that's that the I missed four you missed two oh
No, we got the Monday night. We talked about that first Buffalo. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I remember what I was gonna talk about
Sorry, I had it written down here
Okay
Did you see the hell Mary? Hmm. I did was that something else that yeah, it's that was skill with luck combined to the perfection
Yeah, I could not believe that
and when when
When Rogers stuck his hand up in the touchdown position, I thought is wishful thinking
I'm like, oh
Yeah, I saw it come shooting out of there and I thought it was incomplete
But you could see definitely on the replay. He got it
He got it fell down and then got got it punched out. So that was the coolest part of the game right there
That was fun. You see a hill Mary like that and it's a perfect
Perfect design of skill meets luck. Yeah
Especially since that's his fourth hail Mary. I know
So anyhow, yeah, we
Sorry, I wrote down my notes. I was gonna go over that a little bit more and anyhow, we went over the game
I know but I just had to say that so I am I want to I got some bullet points. Mm-hmm one do it
Yeah
All right. You know what? I need to come up with a
With a little promo for bullet points. Don't I that would be great
Yeah, all right. Well get some gunshot sounds. Yeah, that's us. Thank you. That's not considered a microaggression
It might be a microaggression
Depends on who you talk to yeah, we'll check with the man bun crowd now we will
Oh, no, no, no, no
Offer him a massage. Oh, yes. Yeah that mean guy with a gun. Just tell him no
Well, if you offer a massage the Sean Watson is gonna show up. Oh, yeah, that's right
That's right. Oops that guy with a gun. Just tell me you love him
You love his inner child your inner child is so cute
I love a good buzzword
The man bun kale eating guy
You know at least kale isn't chic anymore now, it's like kombucha or something. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, they've moved on to something else
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, they've moved on to something else. Yeah. Yeah all those all those people who invested billions in kale farms
Or no, I kale manufacturing
Factories. Yeah, like the one that is natural. Yeah. Yeah, we'll have to go into that one day. Yeah, and how you got out. Yeah. Yeah
You know, I was glad you got off on the charges. I'm glad that they determined that to be self-defense. It was it was I think it was
Yeah, yeah, I'm glad they had those those weekly resin
The deliveries, you know, yeah, I think they'll with and yeah, I was able to time it just right
We get out there where you got on the resin truck and you never look back. Yeah
All right. All right first bullet point. Yes, Lamar Jackson
He was approached in Cincinnati at a private restaurant when he was having dinner
Him and like three of the other players who I don't even need to name but I never did write him down
So it doesn't matter. Yeah
The owner was not supposed to let people in but he did
So a couple of Bengals fans are both females. Oh, no males both females didn't hear that part
Yeah, one of them came up to him and said by the way, we're gonna win
And he was he was okay with that
But still, you know, it's kind of like I am eating dinner next guy said or the next woman said we're gonna beat your ass
Mmm, and he looked at her and I love what he said. He said the reason they're if they lose the reason is it's gonna be because of you
And I was like brilliant perfect, yes, so
The whole thing I'm getting at is Bengal fan is starting to get really dirty
Yeah, are they starting to make a push for the Eagles fan and maybe trying to nudge them off of?
Yeah, you know historically I remember
Nattie fan
From the 80s. Mm-hmm. They're pretty awful. They are
They they in Cleveland
When they would play games at each other's stadium, they were throwing snowballs
Batteries get bad. Yeah, and they're throwing snowballs with batteries. Yeah, they even be worse
And you know Cleveland plant fan was being you know total assholes at the time
But since an Addy fan joined right in they got bad for a while. Yeah, so I think they're getting back to their roots
well, also Nattie
The Bengals themselves seem to have discipline problem problems over the years anyhow. Remember perfect. Yes
And what was it roughing a roughing?
Unnecessary roughness call they had the game one. Yeah, and he goes over there just pushes someone down that threw the flag
They got in 15 yards and won. Yep
He extended to play when they had it done. They had him stopped up work down
I forgot who it was his playoff game playoffs playoffs
Anyhow, they have a history and there's more that was just one that just rung in my mind really quick
They have a history of screwing themselves with bad tempered. Yeah
Outbursts lapses in judgment lacks lapses in discipline. Mm-hmm
Is it the chili it could be the chili? Yeah
Yeah
On a more serious note historically Cincinnati has been a very racist place to live
There you're talking about. Yeah, there's a lot of tension. Yeah
So as a player that's not exactly a fun place or it hasn't historically been a fun place to raise your family
Well, the history that sir. Yes, absolutely not white. Yeah
I don't know. I mean maybe go right across the state line and right across the river into Kentucky
Maybe the the living's better there
But the Cincinnati itself has always had
Racial strife. Yeah, you wouldn't think that you know a little sleepy town along the Ohio rivers like what the hell but
Yeah, apparently that's that's been an issue
I don't know if it still is but that could that could be one of the reasons why
Cincinnati players aren't real happy and the fans are jerks just to their south Louisville
I was there last year meeting family same family was in town
Last couple of days I was meeting them in Louisville me and Val were and we're spending a couple days there
Yeah, and Louisville considers himself the south
And I don't know what type of racial strife they had but all the thing was anywhere near their
their
What brother city up to the north a little ways couple hours to the north is like
I mean, it's kind of like Topeka and Kansas City or something like that. Yeah, only Louisville's bigger
Well, Ohio was definitely union and Kentucky was definitely confederacy. Yes. Yeah
But Louisville seemed to be fairly organized and fairly happy with their identity. Yeah, and
So it's kind of like the polar opposite of Cincinnati. So
Um, yeah, so Cincinnati whatever it still got this black cloud over it. So yeah, yeah
They've they've been to every every Super Bowl. They've been to they've lost. Yeah, and uh, which is too. Yeah. Well, no, they they
They lost twice to San Francisco in the 70s. Yeah, yeah boomer size and before him
Anderson Anderson. Yes. Yeah, and then when they were in the 70s
Yes, yeah, and then with the and then with boomer boomer and then burrow. Yeah. Yeah
And you know both times back then they lost to the Niners. Yeah. Yep. That's right
And guess who beat the Niners twice
Oh, yeah, that was nice. Yeah
See it all just fits in perfect doesn't it? All right. Here's a bullet point. Okay. I think Brady's doing better
He is he is I would like to see him stop trying to be so hip and use slang like drop a dime and
Other kind of crap that he's trying to work in when it really isn't working. Um
Just be himself quit trying to throw in catchphrases. He's starting to he's starting to he's definitely getting better. Yeah
He completely um surprised me. Mm-hmm
Because he's done a turnaround and evidently he's being well coached
Yeah, because he uh, he doesn't rattle on like he used to yes. That's a big improvement. He knows when to stop
Yeah, I don't know how they do that
Whether if they have someone over there going that's it or or if they're just they talk to him and now he knows when to shut it down
Mm-hmm, but a lot of that consists of not telling stories about people. Yes. Yes
Which people don't want to hear and save the stories for like when there's a timeout
Exactly. Call is coming back from a
Coming back from a commercial break as much shit as calling the colinsworth gets he's a player
And he is a very good player and he played a long time
He doesn't he knew when to throw in that story and when not to
He could take a big page out of colinsworth and figure out how to do it correctly, but he's getting better. So yeah
Yeah, I I agree with that. Yeah, he's such an investment and you know, he's going to pay off huge
So i'm glad they're taking the time and the effort to i'm happy polish them up
I'm happy is because I want brady on I want him on there. I want people to compare brady and romo
I do too because they're doing the same job and look at how good brady is getting and look at how
Much romo's regressing into just this
Grinning and goofy babbling guy who won't shut up romo when he came out. He was on fire
He was fantastic and now he just seems to second guess himself tries to he's playing a character
Yeah, he's playing a character on on on tv. Remember tim grunhardt center for the chiefs
Yeah, he played a character on the radio
I mean it was the tim grunhardt show or whatever it was but he played at being the the goofy
lineman with bad grammar who can't pronounce big words because he got hit in the head too much when he was very well educated
Yes. Yeah, and you could even tell when he was saying stuff that he was highly
Higher educated, but he was like trying to dumb himself down. Yeah, i'm sorry
Yeah, he kept saying rossum burger instead of rothless burger because he claimed he couldn't pronounce it
And once he accidentally said rothless burger on the air
but
grunhardt
Kept that character up
Until it didn't work for him anymore. And I remember the exact time that it stopped working for him
uh he and some some pals
Used to hang around after church on sat on sunday and get drunk on communion wine and then drive home
And then he got caught and got a very public dui for that. Oh, I forgot about that
Suddenly he wasn't the bumbling oafish lineman anymore. He was mr. Smart guy. He was intelligent. He was well spoken and
That character was gone. Yeah
Romo's still playing his character. I don't know if he came up with it or the network did or as a collaborative effort
But they want him to be the goofy babbling
Fun time guy who can't shut up. Yeah, you're right
um
Well, I mean, I don't know maybe it's working. Maybe that's what people want to hear
I still say that romo is perfect for the people who really aren't paying attention to the game
They're looking at their phone. They're talking to people. I think that's it right there
Then you hear romo get excited and that's when you look up and he goes on and on about stuff and repeats things
And he kind of catches you up. I guess he's like a constant recap
I suppose it is working then. Yeah, but like that. Yeah, because
Frankly speaking there are a lot of people that just sit in front of a tv and hardly ever look at it
They're looking at their phone or something. No, you're right
You're right. Um
Yeah, okay
You got any or I got some more. Okay. The last one I have is uh, the thing I was trying to think of earlier
We are talking about uh, the possibility that super bowls are going to be held internationally in the future
They're predicting. Uh, I mean the commissioner said it's in the cards
Which means it's going to happen. It's gonna happen. Yeah
um
a point that I
Think is important to make is think of all the cities who've been held hostage by teams saying build us a great stadium
And make it wonderful and then someday we'll get a super bowl here. Mm-hmm
Now gadell is shipping the super bowls overseas
That's a good point. I never even thought about yeah, and all those cities that spend billions on a stadium
Now they have to compete with europe to get a super bowl. That's bullshit, isn't it?
Yeah, it is because they were helped they were threatened by the owner by the franchise
Better build us a really really good stadium where we might leave and but if you do build a really good one
Hey, the league will reward you with a super bowl. Well, I got one for you and this is local
Johnson county been talking about doing the chiefs what they wanted all along a retractable
Roof, uh-huh. I don't want one. It's a definite advantage
Yeah, it is. It's a definite advantage
Mm-hmm, um, and I don't care about having a super bowl here. I don't know. I don't want one here
I don't think we got the hotel space anyway. No, no, no the world cup's already a pain in the ass. It's not till next year. Yeah
so
I'm gonna lean back a little bit
Uh, yeah, yeah in johnson county is trying to grab
Grab arrowhead stadium and I mean, you know what they have more money than kansas city
We we can't even keep our people safe or our roads nice. Yeah, so we obviously have more problems
You know like maybe with leadership and stuff like that. So maybe johnson county does deserve the chiefs
Yeah, I think we have bigger priorities. We should be paying attention to yeah. Yeah
So yeah, we got a lot of people in there acting like they care that don't obviously
um, all right, um
That's a great point and I mean, but it doesn't matter they're still going to do it. Yeah
Okay
san francis still the top gun in the nfc
Or with emerging stars such as daniels is it wide open for the taking? I know the lions are there. I know
but
Traditionally san francisco has had the lions, uh tail if you will true
but
Do you see like some of these emerging stars coming up in some of these emerging? Uh, um teams
That maybe san francisco is going to take a step back and maybe some of these other teams like the commanders are going to take a step forward
Um, I think so because they've been the top dog for how long now?
I mean, they've always been in it usually in the championship game
Super bowl representatives two times in the last five years. I mean, it's been pretty stellar
And the whole nfc
uh east
Is I mean the teams have good records. I mean washington is four and two
Uh, new york is three and three philly's three and two
and dallas despite
being awful
What was their record last week
Three and two so they're three and three
I mean, there's not a losing record in the nfc
No, I think it's starting to emerge and I think some of the cream is rising to the top
um and are going to probably maybe
Thin out san francisco's success
And they might take a little step back. That's the way I kind of see it too
I went so far as to look at both conferences for losing records
16 teams in each conference the nfc
Has five teams with losing records out of 16. Wow
the a of c
Half eight out of 16 have losing records. Yeah, that's because we're beating the shit out of ourselves. Aren't we? Yeah, we are
That is interesting
but I mean
Especially with the teams that are emerging from the nfc that are coming up to be contenders
Yeah, I'm thinking it would be a little bit more disparity than that. But I mean, um
It's like everybody's having success. Yeah, I mean with only five losing records
you've got a bunch of teams that are even or
winning records and
Every one of them is in the hunt at this point, you know a third of the way through the season
Most of the teams in the nfc are right there
True and a lot of the teams in the a of c are looking like they're going down the toilet. That's true
It's weird
Um, yeah, uh
Uh
Okay, I think it's gonna keep doing this too is going in that way and I think nfc might be the dominant league
Coming up. Yeah, we we the a of c has had it for a bit
So I can see it swinging the other way I could too and it always does yeah, it'll go back and forth
Yeah, I mean look at uh the vikings. Yeah
Yeah, so
Anyhow, all right, which is surprising that they have so many winning teams because you do have a five and oh team over there as well
Yeah
So the only thing I can think is the nfc and the a of c has been playing each other and the nfc's been winning
That's what I think is what happened. Yeah, the inter conference play. They've been dominating that
All right. The next one. All right, will the chiefs three pete?
I'm gonna say yes
Me too. I see no sign why they wouldn't yeah, and why wouldn't you say, you know
It they're doing great. They're five and oh, they're winning despite injuries
Yeah, that's not up. Their next man up mentality is still going on. Yeah, juju smith schuster
Meet the new boss same as the old boss. Yeah. Yeah
130 yards
Now I I do believe that when the chiefs get to the super bowl this year
Their opponent is going to be damn tough
Yes
Philly wasn't
All that much to worry about turned out to be a really close game the niners we knew we'd beat them
Both times and it was over time. Yeah
Out of the two I would say maybe philly might have been a little bit tougher
And that's just because philly had the ability to punch the ball in so well
Yeah, but you know going into the game. I wasn't really all that worried about philadelphia
This year if the chiefs are going up against the bears or the commanders
Or tampa bay at this point i'm thinking. Mm. This is going to be difficult
Yeah, I I can see a really tough opponent coming out of the nfc. I could too. I could too
So a three pete is very well to I mean
Very um easily could happen. Yep
I think we've got a better chance than any other team that's won two in a row. I do too. I do too
Even more than the patriot patriots or the or the niners or the niners. Yes, the
cowboys, yeah
Uh pittsburgh. Yeah, there's been a lot of teams that have won doubles. Yeah, and the thing is is
All of them won them the same way
The chiefs are just doing whatever
Yeah, you compare the the most recent super bowl team to the first one patrick won and
Totally different teams. Yeah, I mean as far as play style
Look at the one that won last year
That was just enough to win. That's it. I mean a lot of big plays from the defense. Yeah
um yeah
Um now they're a run first team
Cool cream hunt in there. Yeah, I always love the run game. I do too cream hunt stepped up
Is a layer going to be any part of it though? I wonder I mean they did activate him
Since pacheco's out. Yeah, I think they're gonna go and put him in a few times to try
In a few times to to spell
Because carsten steel isn't going to be able to do the same things as hunt when it gets tired
You want to be able to run somebody else in there who's carsten steel needs to work on the fundamentals better
He lets the ball go too many times
and uh p grum
P grand m p ryan p ryan that's it. Yeah, I can't ever think of his damn name
um, he is capable of being a um
Probably what a third down back maybe?
Yeah, right now. He's got a great big trade target painted on his back
Yeah, I think so because I think between p ryan and the layer
They keep a layer because he's started way more often than p ryan has I think so too because they you know
They're not really planning long term either one. So
Chiefs like to like to have people who've played in this in the team before
Yeah, they do obviously. I mean cream hunt and uh, yeah, juju smith schuster
And I mean just jody fortson came back from Miami. Yeah, so they're talking about if they do trade
uh
For another receiver, uh, they're talking sammy watkins. Maybe if he's doing anything but demarcus robinson
Robinson would probably fit better at this point. He's about a three to four hundred yard receiver
Yeah, yeah, and that's that's about what they need. Yeah, and you know, it's definitely worth having one of those guys on your team
So and he's played for us started
So he's like a perfect fit for andy reed and just bring him back. That's right
So i'm gonna look for demarcus robinson to possibly come work out with the chiefs. Yeah
Sammy is a long shot, but he could too. We'll see. Yeah
Sammy's kind of small. Yeah. Yeah, I think that robinson would probably be this the probably one that fits the best. Yeah
um, all right
roger gaddell
Doing a solid job
I would say so I don't like a lot of the things he does but he's definitely
Growing the league growing the brand making crap loads of money
He's making business sense, even though some of it pisses me off
He's making business sense like the international super bowls. It does make sense
Because it like fifa was saying, you know, hey, we'll hold our championship there
If you pay us like a billion dollars, we'll even put it in dubai. Yeah
So that could be 100 000 degrees
100 000 degrees. Yeah, our athletes can take it so it it could come to that but gaddell is exploring absolutely
Every avenue to make more and more money. Yeah, I agree. He's doing a more than a solid job
He is probably going to go down as the best commissioner ever than nfl
Yeah, I mean rozele really did the breakthrough with the tv contracts and stuff. But but back then
Most of the revenue streams they have now weren't even thought of back then. No, I know
So yeah, um
Uh, yeah gaddell has taken it into the next century and he's doing very well
So, I mean, what do you say? I mean props to him, even though a lot of it pisses me off. Yeah, so
Um this next one
Is interesting one and I like this a lot detroit
Good team, right? Yeah
Kind of uh, maybe he has a little bit of bad luck on her shoulder. Yeah, true
Will they get to super bowl birth in the next five years?
Uh, I picked him for this year
So i'm kind of biased there. Um
At the you know, be at the beginning of the season. I picked chiefs and lions in the super bowl, but
I I could see him do a once in the next five years
Might be this year, but the once in the next five years
I think that's kind of the size of their window. I think you're right. I think so, too
I think I got a really good shot, especially with their coach now
I mean, he seems to really have the team enthralled in his system. Yep, they believe it
They have the right components. The only thing it gets me is jared goff
Yeah, as an off day you're fucked you really are
Yeah
and uh, even though they don't play within the city limits of detroit, uh,
Which is smart. Yeah, they identify with detroit and my gosh that city could use a winner so much
Hey, that team stands behind them. Yeah, they really do
Which surprised me
so
Okay
Will rogers as an erin go away after this season finally?
Gosh, you know, I would have said yes, I don't think so now. I don't think so now. I think you know
The only possibility is if they go all the way and win the super bowl then rogers might retire
Yeah, he would be like, all right, that's a perfect cap
Yeah, other than that. I think he's coming back. I don't see that happening. So I think he's coming back. Yeah
Um, will he be I didn't write this down as a bullet point, but will he be with the jets?
I think so. I think he's staying with the jets because he's
I think he's getting what he wants there
Whether you believe the rumors or not. I think they're catering to him. I think they are too
Excuse me as the big moneymaker. I agree and that probably is going to continue. So
I don't see why you go anywhere else. Yeah, and so far no weenie gate pictures. So yeah
Enormous market there in the new york, new jersey area. Yeah, he can get all the attention. He wants any time
He wants yeah, even though a lot of them hate him
Excuse me
Excuse me. Yeah, what a feather
Okay after lions and 49ers what dark horse could emerge in the nfc
Washington commanders, they were my first ones chicago bears. They're my second one
Unless there's somebody I mean tampa bay
He is could be talked about in that mix but not in the top two. I I agree
Yeah, this next one I love because this is not clear cut at all
the a.fc dark horse is
Houston houston. Well, not normally a dark horse. Yeah. No, um
Pittsburgh
Oh
Okay, i'm gonna go to pittsburgh. I didn't come up with one. I was thinking they're share the division with baltimore
So chances are they're not going to win the division but I could see baltimore coming
Uh down the the home stretch of the season just racking up wins and then rolling into the playoffs like a juggernaut
Steelers getting them
Okay, I say I I meant to say steelers racking up wins. No, no, no, no. Yeah. Yeah. I knew what you're saying. Yeah
Yeah, I think the same thing although I couldn't come up with one when you said that I agree with it
Um, yeah, I could not come up with one. I was like thinking who could it be in a.fc?
It's not so clear cut in a.fc. Yeah
Um, I mean, I don't see indy doing anything
denver
Wait and see yeah
um
And in the south, I mean jacksonville. No, no, we know houston's gonna be good
Yeah, I mean pretty much who we think is gonna be good and it's gonna be good and that's pretty much it. Yeah
um
Nobody in the a.fc east is side or from buffalo is gonna do much. No, no
So yeah, I agree with you. Steelers have that ability to see if it happens
um
What should be the formula for an unnecessary roughness call?
I love this one
Because a lot of people I hear people arguing about this all the time. Yeah
Um, I think one thing that makes sense that they do is the entire body weight. Yeah on top of the quarterback. I agree with
um spearing yeah
Tripping definitely tripping
Slinging somebody around like you grab them and slow them down
Um the body throw where they pick them up and kind of like just toss them. Oh, yeah
um
Now talking about there's a lot of things I think that would demand unnecessary knees. Yeah, um late hit
Yep
Going at the knees should be one of the number ones face mask, of course any any blow to the head on the quarterback
Any helmet to helmet definitely?
And then as far as the in-between stuff they look at
Does it seem like the defensive player was trying to injure the quarterback?
Could have pulled up but chose not to yeah. Yeah, and that is also like the uh,
full force
All your weight is did you try yeah, maybe not or did you just go ahead and just bury the guy?
that lions defender
Grabbed the quarterback and kind of slung him over himself instead of falling down on him and might have broken breaking his own leg
In the process. I know
So he bet he wishes he just clobbered the guy and taken the penalty. Yeah. Yeah, I bet he did
Yeah, well, you know, I mean it just shows you
It imagine having a job where you go to do your job and something might happen to where it's impossible to ever do your job again
Yeah, that's part of your job is you might lose your job at any moment at any moment. Yeah
Yeah, I don't think I like that. No, I don't want to do a job like that
All right, and the last and final one of bullet points on this show is this one right here
Do you know that there's a guy out there that renamed himself that uh his legal?
His legal name has changed to literally anybody else
And he's running for president. Wow
What percentage of votes will literally anybody else receive?
I'm gonna say 1% and that's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot
I think there's enough people disgusted in the people running in the system right now and how the system's being done
To where there's 1% of people are just gonna go i'm voting for this guy. Fuck him. Wow
Yeah
They'd have to spell it right
Otherwise, it wouldn't count. That's right. Yeah, when you're right in the ballots. Yeah, that's the thing about write-in votes
You've got to make sure you spell it right and they can read it. Otherwise, they're like, yeah
I don't know what he's what he meant the pitch it
Uh, but I can see a 1%
Um, i'm probably gonna vote for alice cooper again, I I think alice cooper deserves it. Yeah
You see I was gonna vote for ozzy, but he's not you know, he's not a citizen
So he's born he was born in england. So he can't run. Yeah, so yeah
Randy rhodes is dead. He was my second choice. Yeah
But I did determine this
If I have a friend that loves ozzy
And he has a dog named. Mr. Growly
We can't be friends
And on that I guess we'll end this show we'll have mercy on this show and end it yeah, it's done
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
Did you really sit there and listen to all that garbage they were speaking? Do you actually believe one inch of it?
I didn't think so
So hang out game over
