Recorded live from the historic River Market area in downtown Kansas City proper near the banks of the crystal blue waters of the Missouri River, we give you the Sports Baskets.
Harambe used to call into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder. Harambe stopped calling into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder.
Why did Harambe stop calling into our original show, Two Dip Shits and a Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder? Harambe was senselessly murdered because some idiot could not watch her children properly while looking at her phone.
Sadly, Harambe does not listen to any show anymore. Sorry, Harambe.
The Sports Basterds. Yes. Hi everybody. Howdy, howdy, howdy.
Alright. Well, I mean, so much has happened in the NFL. I don't even know where to start. You got something you want to start with?
Yeah, yeah. Let's talk about the fact that Trevor Lawrence has become somewhat irrelevant to the fact that I didn't even know he was out and wasn't playing.
I didn't either. I heard nothing.
So, he's got a shoulder injury that apparently he got against Philly in that game. And he missed last week too.
Didn't know that either. Didn't know that. Mack Jones has been starting for him since he's been injured.
But, wow, that's how irrelevant Jacksonville has become in the Kansas City market.
That is, that's something else because he was a high draft picker, remember?
Yeah, yeah. And he was part of the group of the hot, young, upcoming quarterbacks that were in the Mahomes era.
So. Yeah, that's true.
How the mighty have fallen. Yeah, he has fell big time.
And you know, I don't wish ill for the Jacksonville organization or for the town of Jacksonville because I think Jacksonville as a city is pretty awesome.
Okay. But I think that organization that they have now is not viable.
Just like Caroline is not viable. Dallas isn't viable. Vegas is not viable.
There's so much that needs to be done to fix that. Yeah.
That I'm not going to sit here and be a booster and support them because they're not going to get better until they make some tough choices.
That's just it. I agree.
Okay. There's a couple of things we go into that really need to be talked about.
Number one, the collapse of the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah. Yeah. It is epic.
I mean, they should have been a Super Bowl contender. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, they started out kind of okay, but now they're just awful. Yeah.
Joe Burrow has been saying questionable stuff. And you brought up the point the other day about you think he's positioning for a trade.
Yeah, I think he's getting everybody ready for an offseason trade.
Yeah. And that's why you would say stuff like, well, me and a couple other guys are playing well, but the rest of the team, no.
Does he not like Zach Taylor also? Probably not at this point.
He's probably thinking that Zach Taylor is one of the people interfering with the glorious arc of his career.
Yeah, I think you're right. And also, Burrow was the one that was mad at Mahomes for taking less money. Yeah.
Okay. Well, that right there speaks volumes. Selfish. Selfish. Yeah.
I know the first thing he did when he got his huge contract was give back to his community. Yeah.
He probably had that in the contract. You're going to give me so much to give the community. Yeah.
I have no proof of that or nothing, allegedly. This is just what I personally think might have happened.
It's like when the players are required to pay fines, the teams can't pay it for them, but you know they do.
They do. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah. They have someone drive over with a suitcase full of cash and say, here, that makes up for your fine.
Yeah. Yep. Here. Nothing happened, right? Yeah. Oh, nothing happened.
I mean, it's just like all the Bounty Gate stuff. And there's been many cases.
I mean, the most common one would be the Greg Williams bounty case. Yeah.
But there's been so many. I mean, even I think one Marty Schottenheimer accused of that. Yes. Yes, he was.
Yeah. Paying players to hurt other players and knock them out of the game.
The first instance I saw of that was a Packers Bears game back in the 80s.
No one paid them. They didn't. Yeah. There was a Packers player. I think his name was Gerald Williams, a defensive tackle or defensive end or something.
Sounds about right. He had a towel that he hung from his waistband and it was a hit list. It said hit list on it.
And he had the jersey numbers of some Bears players, one of which was number nine, Jim McMahon.
And during the game, McMahon threw an interception.
So at that point, McMahon became a blocker instead of a quarterback.
And Gerald Williams ran up, picked him up and slammed him down to the field on his injured shoulder. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah.
And since he had already put it on his hit list and he had said in a pregame that, you know, I want to get in his face and knock him out of the game.
It's like, OK, you pretty much made it easy for us to they suspended him. They find him. It was a big deal. Yeah, I remember.
But I think McMahon came out OK on that, didn't he? Yeah. I mean, it irritated the shoulder, but it really didn't put him out or anything.
And did anyone really think Gerald Williams, the Packers player, came up with this all on his own? Yeah.
No, this is something that the defensive coaches and coordinators were telling him and telling all the other players, knock him out, put him out of the game.
If they're on the sideline injured, they can't hurt him. See, I think psychologically, that's the worst thing you could do to a player.
What they're saying is you're not going to win if this player is in. So you need to knock him out. Yeah.
What kind of message is that sending to somebody? They may not even think it outwardly, but inside, subconsciously, they've got to be thinking. Yeah.
I'm not good enough to win fairly. Yeah. So I have to cheat. Yeah. I mean, what happened to the just just do it?
You know what? You can you can do this. You can do this. You can beat this guy. He's beatable. We looked on tape.
Here's the things that he is flawed at. So exploit him. Yeah. That's the way you should win football games.
But I don't know if there's still bounty gates going on or not in the modern game, because I mean, they really watch that closely.
They really do. Yeah. If it is, then it's something the coaches have found like one player on the team and said, we can't do this anymore.
But you can. You get in the locker room and you do you set it up. Well, yeah. OK.
So now back to Zach Taylor. There's been a lot of questionable hits and stuff under his belt.
I mean, the most famous one, the championship game. Yes. But Kerr was going to make a 60 yarder anyhow.
We know. OK. You can feel it. He's that good or a 58 yarder. All this did was ensure it was a chip shot.
But that late hit was blatant. So why do their players do that? There's been several after that.
And I don't want to look them up to run them down. But I think you remember there's been three or four.
Some of them in crucial games where they got the 15 yards and not just against the Chiefs.
No, no, no. It's against other teams. Yeah. So at the very least, this is a discipline issue.
Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way to put it. Another thing is subliminally and outwardly when you don't add to your team before the deadline.
Yes. And do nothing and you're losing. That means we don't think you guys would be capable of winning it anyhow.
Yeah. They can say, oh, we've got the right pieces. We just need it. No one's buying that. No, no.
They're just like that. We're not doing anything because you guys we might as well go for a draft pick.
Yeah. At the very least, they could have come out and said, oh, well, you know, salary cap and this.
We can't afford. But then you got to prove it because salary cap is pretty much open. Yeah.
For the most part. If I was Joe Burrow, I think you would have a hell of a case to move.
Yeah. And imagine the effect on the rest of the team if word gets out within the organization that Burrow isn't going to be here next year.
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure that's got out. I mean, if this is in fact what's happening, your star stud quarterback is out.
And think of how many players base their contracts and who they're going to play for and how long based on there being a franchise QB.
So, you know, anybody who resigned in the last couple of years was expecting Burrow to be here.
And now if he's leaving, that's going to piss off a lot of people. Yeah.
It's like, hell, man, I would have gone to Detroit, but I thought Burrow was going to be here.
Oh, yeah. Like Devontae Adams. Oh, man. Car. Yep. He thought he was going to be playing with Derek Carr.
Yeah. He thought Derek Carr was going to be the quarterback. And then all of a sudden they sit him the rest of the year.
He's probably like, fuck. He made a stupid choice. Well, not. Yeah.
He should have stayed with the Packers and love. Yeah. Who would have really fit him well there.
He would be their number one receiver by far. Yes, he would by far.
And yeah, poor Devontae Adams. He gets to the Jets and the Jets are worse than the Raiders are pretty much.
Yeah. You know, because the Raiders are just inept and aren't doing things right.
The Jets are like letting some cranky 40 plus weirdo run the team from the quarterback position. Yeah.
It's yeah, there's going to be Jets and Raiders.
There's going to be a massive sweep three spring cleaning.
I thought the NFL you learned this lesson. You do not give a quarterback that much authority when they hijack you to come in in the first place.
They're like, I don't care. I'm not going to come in unless this, this and this is done. You should walk. Yeah.
So we'll find our own guy. Thank you. Shows how desperate some franchises get. The Jets were. Yeah.
And now this is what they get. I mean, you know, you got people that are unhappy gremlin, this black cloud and where this dark force is hanging over them is from within.
Yeah. Someone didn't just walk over there and cast a spell.
Oh, you got a dark cloud or whatever it is all over you. Yeah. Rock pretty much starts from within in almost every single case.
And they got to look at themselves and that's the culture. And then that what the culture is, is this is what it means.
You got to start over. Pretty much. You got to get rid of everybody.
Office front office coaches, assistant coaches. The GM got rid of the coach.
Yeah. The GM is already starting the GM for the Jets has already started looking at real estate at Baltimore.
He's planning on going back to Baltimore. Yeah, I believe it. Yeah. So did he really? Is that true?
That's where he came from the Baltimore organization. And I read an article yesterday saying that he's saying things indicating that he knows he won't be here next year, which, you know, is smart. He's not.
Yeah, I mean, and he to that end, he's pretty sure he's going to get rehired by the Ravens organization.
So he's looking for houses in Baltimore. Okay. So he is he is shopping for real estate in Baltimore. That that part's a fact.
So his motivation, oh, I just want to live here. I think he's the way Baltimore has been playing.
They may have a strong case to bring him in. Yeah. Yeah. If he was good at his job, then why not bring it back?
Because, you know, he sucks as a GM, but that doesn't mean he sucks at everything. Oh, the GM. Why not think defensive coordinator? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. The GM. Yeah. Yeah.
If he's going to be something else, then okay. So be it. But he wants to be there. So maybe that's part of the problem. He doesn't want to be there.
Years ago, I think it was in the 60s or maybe the 50s, a book came out about everyone rising to the level of their incompetence, which is so true.
Yeah. Say you're in an organization and your buddy gets promoted to supervisor and he's he's okay at that.
And that's like, okay, well, let's promote you to manager and see how you do. And he learns that he's okay.
And then they say, okay, well, let's promote you to district manager. And he sucks. He just can't do it.
Do they demote him back to manager? No, they leave him at district manager. Yeah, which is crazy.
But business after business does it. They promote you until you're in a job you really can't do. But then demoting you would be too humiliating.
Plus, it would mean the business made a mistake hiring you promoting you. That's true.
But what's humiliating is not being able to do your job correctly, constantly getting stepped on.
And that's when people start fudging reports and faking their job. And it's happening in football.
You get people promoted to, you know, director of player personnel or general manager or offensive or whatever.
And they were good at their previous job and they're not so good at this job.
But they hang on to it too long because the person who put them in that job wants to save face.
Yeah. Current job not included in this. I want to make that clear. So I know some people there listen. I'm not talking about where I work now.
No. OK. Former employers and I don't really talk about it very much.
And even once before them, I don't talk about it very much anymore. I saw that happen in real time right in front of my eyes.
Yeah. And it's not a good look. No. People resent someone not knowing what they're doing ahead of them.
You get people defying them because they don't know what they're doing. Yeah.
You get people refusing to do things because they don't know what they're doing.
I've had bosses at the post office like that.
The post office is a good example of people being promoted into positions that they just can't do and then they stay there.
You have to have some sort of concrete cause to get them out of that position like they intentionally screwed up or they stole or something.
But just being bad at your job doesn't get you fired at the post office. Doesn't get you reassigned. You just stay there.
Well, yeah. And another thing is about this and then we go into different subjects. I've also seen this too.
At a certain other job, they would hire someone. They hired someone that would brutalize people.
Yes. The enforcer. Bores them, scream at them, throws stuff. I mean all this stuff, but they didn't care because why? They were making money.
And that was one of the worst things I've ever witnessed. That idiot ran off so many qualified people.
And they never did question it because they were looking at their paychecks. They were looking at their ownership or whatever.
So it never worked stuff like this. And you know what? If they're still listening to this, because I know they listen to some of them, you know I'm fucking right.
Yeah. I used to complain about how crappy things were at the post office. And at one point my sister said, it's everywhere.
It's not just the post office. That's every big business. No, I know it is. I know it is.
And that really got me past the hump of feeling like I picked the worst place in the world to work. It's like, no, they're all kind of like this.
I'm just choosing to get really pissed off about it. Yeah, you're right.
I would have had a much happier time at the post office if I just decided to let this stuff go and not worry about it.
Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. Well, you know what? Okay, back on the NFL subject here.
Yeah, that supposedly had something to do with football. It was about coaches getting promoted to jobs they don't qualify for.
I'm trying to purposely reel us in now. We're going to go long, I think.
We always do. And I don't care if we go long. It's just like, my God, we get lost in everything. We over examine it so much.
It's entertaining, but some people might be wanting to see the NFL show.
That's true. Yeah.
So, I'm trying to just be like the other side or whatever, if you will. But then again, it's free.
This is true, yeah.
You get your money's worth, sometimes.
You don't always get your money's worth here.
Because there's this thing called time spent listening. You don't get that back.
Yes, the hours of your life kind of thing.
Yeah, yeah, where you could be doing something productive. We can't do anything about that, sorry.
Even just personal body grooming, that's more important.
Well, I hear that our audience is horrible at it.
Hey, get together and groom each other the way apes do. That'd be cool.
Pick the mites off their back.
Yes. I've heard it's very calming.
And right then we keep going off on other subjects, but I don't care.
Alright, football.
Okay. This is not quite, but it is a football question.
Netflix was a complete disaster.
Oh my gosh, yes.
Does this put the Christmas Day games in jeopardy?
Absolutely. I think the NFL needs to take immediate action on this.
Yeah.
If nothing else, somebody needs to spring for the money for whatever servers or extra capacity Netflix is going to need to make sure those NFL games go off without a hitch.
You see, I got a little bit different opinion on this. I think without them saying it, of course, it was a test run.
Yeah, true.
They're like, offer for free so we'll get everybody watching it.
That's true, that's true. That was their beta test.
And you noticed the fight was on the same day that the report was released that the Pentagon has failed their seventh audit in a row.
Oh no. See how good they are?
Yeah, see that was what they were distracting us from with the fight was the fact that the Pentagon is lying so hard and so much and have for at least seven years they can't even pass a government audit.
Yeah. Yep.
But, you know, don't think about that. Just think about Mike Tyson and Jay Powell.
They know that everybody was focused in on that.
They have people that they examine and comb everything and whatever there's like even the slight buzz about something, they'll throw stuff out there.
Yeah.
It's just like this latest bill going through Congress. Look it up. Just Google latest bill going through Congress and see some of the money allocated to what.
Yeah.
And what this is, is this equivalent. Now both sides do this.
Absolutely. All sides.
All sides do this.
Okay, but this is a lame duck bill.
I'm going to try to get what I can right now through favors for people that support them, all this stuff.
And like I said, every side does this.
Yeah, that's pretty unfortunate tradition that the lame duck president has nothing to lose, especially when the other party won the election.
Yeah.
It's like, I'm going to do everything I want to do now and fuck the consequences.
Yeah.
So you expect a bunch of pardons to come out from the Biden president, White House right at the end.
Yeah.
Ironically, you're going to expect a bunch of pardons to come out the moment Trump gets into the White House.
Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Like himself.
Himself and everybody who was convicted of anything for the January 6th.
They're going to be completely pardoned.
And they'll probably be cleared too.
Yeah. Unless it's state charges. He can't do anything with state charges.
The state writer said that. He has state charges in Georgia.
He'll have to face them after the presidency, but right now they can't touch him.
Yeah.
So.
All those January 6th people are like, pack your bags, man, we'll be out.
Yep. Yep.
And if anyone is upset over the election, it's your fault. It's your fault.
As collectively as Americans, we have the government that we wanted and deserved and paid for.
Exactly.
The people said, I don't think things are going right like they had many times, like they did when Trump was out of office.
They said, we're going to try another alternative.
They tried that alternative and they decided the one before was a little bit better.
Yeah.
If not a lot better, I don't know. You know, that's up to the person.
So you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Because if you don't demand better government, you'll never get it.
Yep. Yep.
So.
It'll be interesting to see how the Democrats handled this loss because in 2016.
I know.
They started off by lying to themselves and everybody about why they lost.
Yeah.
And then they finally started admitting exactly what they did wrong and then four years later, they won.
Yep. And if anyone wonders about these polls, people lie.
Oh, I lie constantly when people are taking a poll. When it's a poll taker, I make up anything.
Oh, me too.
I don't tell the truth. I'm not going to tell something stranger what I really think.
I do that at work all the time.
So I'm going to start talking politics. I go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I don't really say anything.
Yeah.
The smart ones catch it. They're like, OK, he doesn't adhere to that.
It's like the post-game press conferences. You're not going to hear anything interesting or new or real.
You're just going to get the garbage.
Yeah. This has all been pre-written, scripted, you know, very scripted, like as in, well, you got to hit these points.
Here's how you do it. Here's how you look.
We're going to change the lighting so you look, you know, you know.
So anyhow, all right.
Nick Sirianni, this is all over. Yeah, of the Eagles. This is all over the Internet.
His striking resemblance to the kid in Elf.
It's all over media.
Oh, that's funny.
Oh, yeah. And if you look back to back, you would go, that's him a little bit older.
Wow. Yeah.
That's not going to really help his credibility in the locker room, is he?
No, no. Everyone's going to look at him and look at the little kid in Elf.
Yeah, when he's over there, like, I don't know, chastising someone for doing a stupid job or whatever or doing a serious speech,
they're going to look at him and he's going to change that kid from Elf.
I remember a supervisor we had for a while in Argentine that unfortunately earned the nickname SpongeBob
because he kind of looked like SpongeBob.
And once everybody got that, nobody paid any attention to him.
I mean, he was still the boss, but everyone just laughed and disregarded him because they're like, OK, SpongeBob.
And they eventually had to take him out of the station because nobody would take him seriously.
Yeah. It matters. It really does matter. Yeah.
That's why I worry about some of these athletes doing these commercials where they act like utter fools.
Yeah, because it's like clowns, morons.
It's like, OK, well, some player is going to be looking to you and thinking,
oh, this is the guy that was drooling on himself in that TV commercial.
What about Andy Reid in the Fumble Rusky?
He looked like he was having a fucking stroke, didn't he?
I know. Yeah.
Seriously, I have way less respect for Andy Reid now since he did that commercial.
Fumble Rusky do?
Yeah. If he's willing to do that on camera for money, then I've lost a lot of respect for him
because there's no amount of money in the world that would get me to go on camera and act that way.
You notice Patrick Mahomes wasn't the one doing it.
Yeah. OK.
His choice, but I've lost a significant amount of respect for Andy Reid
because now I just see him as a clown, just like Deon Sanders for jumping around and flapping his arms.
Yes. Same thing.
I was like, I will never take him seriously again. Never.
Talking to a duck. Yeah.
OK. Yeah, an imaginary duck.
Yes. It's not even Gilbert Godfrey.
A CGI duck.
Yeah, a CGI duck. Not even a real voice, I bet.
And then he's supposed to be Mr. Coach in Charge and you do what he says.
Dude, you were out there dry humping a duck yesterday on TV. I'm going to listen to you.
Is that Nick Saban that does it?
OK. Nick Saban, at least he is always like he had the role of the coach knows best.
And every time someone would go Aflac, he would go, that means money.
He had the more serious role.
Yes. And it was brilliant, too, because this wise old coach told you Aflac is money.
So you're going to run out and go, oh my God, it's money.
Coach Saban said so. Look at how many rings he has.
Meanwhile, Coach Prime was jumping around like he had a tick biting his scrotum.
And one of the students, I think, stole his car.
Yeah. I wonder if Aflac gave him money for that.
Allegedly or whatever. Yeah, Aflac is like, we're sorry about your car, Dion.
Yeah. And then he's supposed to be the Jets head coach next year.
I can't wait to see that, if that's true.
I don't. Yeah, I know.
If that's true, I can't wait to see.
That was heard of last year. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I can't imagine Dion Sanders in New York making it all about him, promoting himself endlessly,
and then half-assing it as coach.
Yeah.
Players are going to know it, and they're not going to respect him any more than they respect the guy who got fired, Salah.
Salah. Salah. Yeah.
I think it's Salah. It is Arabic.
Yeah. I think it's Arabic, so you would go Salah.
Probably everything we're hearing is the Americanized version of his name, so it doesn't matter anyway.
You'd probably like going, what the fuck? What do they call me?
Yeah. Okay.
And then now, the most serious subject going around the internet, and I hate to bring this up,
I mean, this is really serious, okay?
Mike Tyson's unusually long nipples.
Yeah. Yeah.
What up with that?
Somebody's been sucking on those babies.
I guess so. Did he have nipple rings in and take them out, maybe?
That could be. That could be.
But I don't know, more like somebody's been boobieslapping them.
It's just stretching and gravity taking its toll.
Tune in Tokyo on him or something?
We have no idea what Tyson's into in the bedroom.
And we don't want to know. It's like, hey, we're good with it, whatever.
I don't want to know what anybody else does in the bedroom except me.
And I don't want to imagine it either.
No, I don't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, anyhow.
Well, should we get to our, I'm sure, mostly right picks?
Yeah. Yeah, only 25 minutes in, and we're getting to the...
Yeah.
Let's see. Okay. Do you want to know how we did, first off?
Yes.
You missed five.
Okay.
I missed one.
Wow.
I was having a really good day.
You had a real good day.
And I was just flying by the seat of my pants on a lot of these, so don't think I'm a genius.
I was going the opposite. I was playing an upset.
It really is the upset season right now where teams are banged up and looking ahead to the next game.
Yeah.
Yeah. I'm doing that old gag. Maybe I'll stop just to get a few right.
Yeah.
All right. First game was Washington at Philly.
Philly won 26-18.
I predicted 26-13. You predicted 32-24.
Oh, wow. Okay.
And Philly really didn't look like they were having trouble at all this game.
Not at all, no.
And this is a young Washington system.
Washington is developing, and that's going to happen when you have that type of a situation is.
You're going to have really good games and really bad games.
Yeah.
But however, last night I did see and improved CJ Stroud learning some things.
Yeah.
He's learning some things and figuring out some things in the NFL, which is very good.
That's what he needed to do.
Yeah. Yeah. He won without throwing a single touchdown pass and a pick.
Yeah. And Mixon getting it a...
He got it going big time.
Yeah. He got it going really big.
So it looks to me like they're heading in the right direction,
and they might be a pretty powerful force by the time they come to Arrowhead.
Yeah.
Late December.
I think so, yeah.
Yeah. Something like that. It's going to be a great matchup.
Yeah. I think Washington is on that same trajectory.
They are.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Jaylen Daniels looks really good. Then he looks okay.
I mean, that's the way it is. You get your ass kicked.
Yeah.
The NFL is a victim of Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah.
Everyone wants to compare to him coming in and just fucking going lights out.
That is not the normal. That's not the normal.
Most quarterbacks get their teeth kicked in for a couple of years, and then they figure it out.
Yeah.
Okay.
Next game is Las Vegas at Miami.
Miami won 34-19. It was never in doubt.
Yeah. Yeah.
I predicted 27-10. You were 24-7. So we were pretty close.
We had the idea.
Yeah. Tyreek Hill.
Has he slowed down?
I think so, too.
Yeah. He's definitely come back to the pack.
Yeah.
For receivers. When he was in his heyday, he was up there in the top five of receivers and everyone was talking about.
Now, there are so many receivers ahead of him in ability and younger that he is nowhere near the desirable commodity he once was.
Yeah.
He's still really good on that team and doing well and helping him out a lot.
But you take him to a different team, I don't think he's going to have the standard of success.
I think every time he moves, he's going to take a step back.
Yeah.
And he should just stay where he is now and finish his career.
They have not done any contract talks, have they?
Not that I'm aware of.
And he's on his last year. That wouldn't indicate to me that they're not really that interested in signing him.
Yeah. Because for his money, you can get two guys that will be pretty much as good as him in the combo.
Look at what the Chiefs did. They got like what? Four draft picks?
Yeah.
And one of them were starters. I mean, that needs to go down as one of the biggest bus trades.
Oh yeah, one of the better trades. Yeah.
And Tyreek wasn't a bus by any means.
No, it's just like they could have done that trade and all the draft picks didn't work out and then it would have looked horrible.
Right, right.
So, anyhow.
It's funny. Vegas now is two and seven. Miami is four and six. So they're not too far off in record.
But I see Miami continuing to win and do things.
Well, but their starting quarterback was out. Now he's back at Tagovaiola.
So, all of a sudden Miami became a formidable opponent. Maybe not playoff-wise, but I mean at least.
They're in every game.
Yeah, they're in every game. And that's the difference. Vegas is just bluff.
Yeah, yeah. Just like the Jets. They need to flush and put some drain cleaner down and flush again.
Yeah, it's been speculated that Mark Davis doesn't really give a shit.
I wouldn't think he does. He's enjoying being a rich guy and that's all he cares about.
Yeah, he's in Vegas being a rich guy. He's happy.
Never had the passion for football that Al did.
No, no. Love him or hate him, Al had a passion for football.
Yes, he did.
It's funny, if Al Davis' vision for the NFL had come true, it would not be anywhere near as successful.
Because most of the successful things Al Davis fought tooth and nail.
Yeah, yeah, that's true. Including getting the AFL and the NFL together.
Wasn't he part of the Foolish Dozen?
Yeah, the original owners of the AFL franchise.
Never work. They're all foolish or stupid. They're insane.
And Al Davis hated the whole idea of easy trades and free agency and all that stuff.
He liked the idea of once you got drafted by a team, they owned your football rights until you died, basically.
Well, I might have said that a few years back, like, well, he was right, but now I won't say that because that's part of the intrigue of football.
You look through the wires, see who they picked up like a trade deadline.
Wasn't that exciting? Every day I'm sitting there scouring through them, seeing who got who, who did what.
Yeah, with this system it makes it way more difficult to have a team that is the dominant franchise for over a decade.
I mean, New England could still do it. Other teams could still do it. But it used to be that you got a good team, nobody could touch you.
Because none of your players could go anywhere and you could pay them shit if you wanted to.
And that's part of him being a businessman.
Yeah, that was the owner side of Al Davis coming through over the football part.
Alright, next up we have Cleveland at New Orleans. And New Orleans woke up and beat them 35-14. We both got that right.
Tyson Hill or Tayson Hill, I think it's Tayson Hill. Tayson Hill, yeah.
Yeah, Tayson Hill had like 120 yards. And then he's supposed to be like one of those quarterback slash runner guys.
What would you call it? I forgot, the Wildcat? Yeah. Yeah. He's supposed to be like a Wildcat guy.
They used to call him slash quarterback. Slash, yeah. Cordell Stewart. They named him Slash because he was like one of the original.
Quarterback slash running back. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't know how that game, I mean Tayson Hill would probably be a big reason having 120 yards.
And then again, you're talking about a team that's descending and maybe New Orleans is starting to figure some stuff out.
Yeah. Yeah. I didn't figure New Orleans could just suck the whole rest of the way out. They'll win some more games.
No, I mean they're a decent team. They just needed to get their act together. And when they lost Derek Carr...
Yeah, Rattler wasn't really the answer. No, they lost the rudder to the, you know, or...
Team leader, the guy everyone looks to. Yeah. So, I mean, they were already trying to figure it out.
Then they lost him and then it just poof, they hit rock bottom. Now they're getting better.
So you'll see this. They will beat up on a Carolina or something if they get them.
That's who we play next. Well, no, I'm not. No. Trapping. We are everybody's Super Bowl. Yeah. Everybody's. Everybody's.
Is it a trap game? Who's behind them? Who's behind the Chiefs? No, Carolina. The Chiefs, Carolina.
Then what's the game after them? Who are the Chiefs? I don't know. I didn't look that far ahead.
Okay. Well, I was going by trap game like they're looking ahead too. So, anyhow.
I was thinking like, you know, they lost and they're like, okay, well we got Carolina. We should win that one.
And then they don't try as hard. Oh, that could be. That could be. Yeah. That kind of trap.
Because that is a trap game too, like that. Yeah. All right. While you're looking that up, I'll go on to the next.
Indianapolis at the New York Jets. This brought up some intriguing plot points. Yes.
Indie won 28-27. I got that correct. That was one of the ones you picked the Jets 20-17.
Something I took off of this was it seems like the Jets are looking to dump Aaron Rodgers contract.
Really? Yeah. They're that far into it to where they're like, okay, this isn't worth. Well, I mean, I think they're right.
Yeah. So, this season is done. I think they've realized that. The season's done.
The season's done. Offseason, we're going to have to fire everybody.
And they're starting to think now that keeping Aaron Rodgers doesn't make any sense. No.
Because the only reason to have him was the final push to get you into the playoffs in the Super Bowl. Yeah.
That's out of the question. So, now they don't want to waste a bunch of salary money on Aaron Rodgers when next season isn't going to be all that much better.
Well, you might as well get the guy you think is going to be it and put him in there and just let him go.
I mean, if you see something really good there, then you can add to it the following year.
But, I mean, that's the big rage now. Yeah. You know, when Young went to Carolina and then who was the other one that did really well?
Stroud. Stroud went to the Texans. Well, a lot of people thought Young was going to be the guy.
A lot of people were like, oh, no, no, Stroud's trash. Yeah. You know, so maybe some of it's the team he went to.
But this is also part of the intrigue. Stroud is a guy that's doing well. Went to the playoffs the first year. Yeah.
Has a great deep ball. Has a pretty good football sense. And then Young seemingly is clueless. Yeah.
Yeah, he's struggling big time. Yeah. We'll get a good look at him when.
When. Yeah, Chiefs play him.
When Jones is in his face and Carl Loftus is sneaking around the corner and Omenahew is back. Yeah.
Or you always got Nick Bolton in there and you also have Reed who can do a sneaky little. Yeah.
They've sent Reed on blitzes. They've sent McDuffie on blitzes. Yeah, Reed and McDuffie both are great on blitzes. Yeah.
But something else that's coming out about Aaron Rodgers is, you know, he's definitely lost the fan base in New York.
And now people are openly pointing out flaws in Aaron Rodgers game.
And they talk about how late in the game Aaron Rodgers won't throw the deep ball to try to win because he's trying to avoid interceptions, which look bad on the stats.
That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Mahomes, he was trying to get back in the game at the very end of the Bills game and he threw an interception. Yeah.
He didn't care. He didn't care. He wanted to win. He didn't want the stats. But this is becoming something that is openly discussed in Jetfan forums is how Aaron Rodgers protects his own stats. Yeah.
At the expense of losing the game. It's like, we'll lose who cares. But I don't want to throw any more picks.
And also he won't run that he thinks he's going to get bulldozed on. Yeah. Mahomes, Allen will. That's the difference there. Right there. So. Yeah.
Yeah. Aaron Rodgers just is really showing himself to be a really bad idea for anybody's team. He's selfish. He's crabby.
He gives up. He blames everything, everybody and everyone else. Why would you want that guy?
I don't even know if he'll be in the NFL next year. Yeah. Oh my God. Wouldn't that be funny if he was with the Raiders? Oh.
And then Devontae is like, can I go back to the Raiders now? You know, Devontae might as well give up with his, with his wannabe with Derek Carr or Aaron Rodgers. Yeah.
He might as well just give up on that and go, you know what? I got my own career and I want to win a Super Bowl and it isn't with either one of them.
He ought to look at signing with the Chiefs in the offseason. Well, that was a big rumor. They couldn't afford him.
I think somebody said that the Chiefs were mentioned by him a couple of times. Yeah. And it's from someone from ESPN.
Plus the fact that the Chiefs are still paying for a lot of injured players who aren't producing and then paying for their replacements.
Yes. Yeah. That's a, that's a thing too right there. That's stuff out of your control. But also DeAndre Hopkins cost you nothing and he's at the end of his contract. Yeah.
So they could afford him. That's true. Devontae Adams, I'm sure they wanted him. But yeah, that's true. He was a trade. So his contract follows with him.
It's not like he's a one year free agent. So he's a great player. But also the other thing that I have is whenever he doesn't like something, he wants to bolt. He doesn't try to be to me.
Well, that's true. It's he doesn't try to be a part of the solution. Two teams now going on a third is it ain't working here. So I'm out. Yeah.
So I, I view that as a flaw. And if you're going to sign him to a huge contract long term deal, that would make me think twice and maybe look for someone else. Yeah, true.
So anyhow, well, I guess we can go on. All right. Next up we have Minnesota at Tennessee. Minnesota one twenty three thirteen.
We both got that correct. Good. I really don't see much from Tennessee the rest of the way out. No, they're I'm not even going to say they're trying to get a decent draft pick or nothing like that.
I just think they have nothing to offer their team. It's just flatlined. Yeah. They traded Derek Henry before the season, right? Yes.
So it seems like they were already kind of figuring that this year wasn't going to be much for him. Yeah.
They kept the Andre Hopkins, I think just so Will Levis would have someone to throw to. Yeah. A little bit more.
And help get the fans in the in the seats. Yeah. Game day. Yeah. Then the trade deadline. They're like, yeah, let's dump his salary. Yeah, it wasn't working.
They got a great stadium and they got a great fan base. I've been I have not been in.
I've been to Nashville several times, but never when a game was taking place. Otherwise, I would have went.
They have a beautiful Nissan Stadium is beautiful. It's right up against the damn I forgot the name of the river that goes through there.
It's the Ohio, isn't it? No. No, Kentucky. No. Hang on. It's a weird name. I forgot.
It's Memphis. It starts with an M. Oh, that's right. Goes. Yeah. Memphis is farther east. Yeah, it is. Hang on. Let's find out.
It's right up against that river. OK. What is the river that goes through Nashville?
Cumberland. Cumberland doesn't start with an M, but the Cumberland River is right there.
They do a lot of paddle boat drinking stuff on there. I mean, it's a river.
And you can see the skyline in Nashville real really easy from some of the stadium points.
It's just a really nice stadium. Is the stadium in Nashville or Memphis? No, it's in Nashville. Nashville. That's right.
OK. Memphis does not have an NFL team. No, but I think they claim Nashville is what people said. Yeah.
It's like a regional team. Yeah. So, but they're fine other than having a team is what I'm saying. Yeah.
They support them. I mean, just like their NHL team, the Predators, they don't do well a lot of the times,
but they get a lot of support from Nashville. Yeah. So they're fine. The Titans are fine.
They just need to get, find the guy. I don't know if this coach is or not, but wow.
Are you getting a tattoo? Is that what that is? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I'm getting a arrowhead on my ass cheek.
A little picture of Joe Burrow kissing it.
Little Joe Burrow with his little tiny fists out. I don't like this. Let me go. I'm better than my homes.
What about trophies? He got his participation trophies, I'm sure. Yeah. If I could make a cricket noise, I would.
Yeah, he got participation trophies. Yes. Little Joey Juicebox and his frosted tips.
That was the thing, when Little Joey Juicebox dyed his hair blonde with those blondes. It ruined the team.
Yeah. The team went downhill ever since. Yeah. It's his ass fault.
You want me to fucking play football with Mr. Fucking New Kids on the Block over there? Yeah.
No, I don't think so. He might have been trying to audition for the Barbie movie. I don't know.
I think he was. Yeah. I think he wanted to be Barbie. He read Justin Bieber's biography. Host, did he?
And he decided that frosting his tips would be a great idea. I wonder if he did it to his pubes, too.
Probably. Yeah. I don't know. He might not be old enough to grow pubes.
Yeah, if he has that little peach fuzz, he probably narrowed it off.
All right, moving right along. Yeah, you know what? That just went straight down the toilet, didn't it?
It did, indeed. Green Bay at Chicago. Green Bay won 20-19. We both got that wrong. It was a blocked field goal right at the end.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, we would have gotten it right, but they did a Chiefs. And if people go, that's not legitimate, when it is.
Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. I mean, just like the Chiefs won was legitimate. And they saw a flaw, and they exploited it, and they won in the same way with Green Bay.
Yeah, to say anything like that isn't a legitimate win, it's excuses. That's loser talk. Yeah. That's loser talk.
You don't want to admit that you got beaten by the rules, within the rules. Yeah.
That's people that their teams are losing, or the team up against lost, saying that. So, I'm sure everybody in Denver probably came up with the refs did it. Yeah, or whatever.
And I've seen that in a number of shows, where a couple of people are competing, and the winning shot is something kind of half-ass, or barely makes it, or whatever.
And they're like, oh man, you're going to beat me with that shot? That ain't right. They'll still beat you. Yeah.
And it's a TV plot gimmick that people have started to latch onto and say in real life. Yeah, yeah, you're right.
And these fans are saying that you can tell that they pay way too much attention to what the TV tells them. I agree, yes.
Because real, normal, rational people are like, yeah, it was in the rules, that's the way it goes, oh well.
But these are the people that the TV tells them, oh, you're special, you're always right, your team's the best.
They have state farm insurance. Yeah, yeah. Because they want to bundle and save. Yeah.
And they buy the same coffee that their hero drinks. Yeah, yeah. Because they have no opinion of their own. Yeah.
Yeah, I heard that new Suck My Dick coffee is really good. Have you heard about that? Oh my gosh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I've heard it's got a real bite to it. Oh, yeah, it does.
I like their one-strain foreskin. Yeah. Oh, that is great. A little chewy at times, but it's good. Yeah.
All right.
We just saw the straight face. Hey, if you know, you know, you listen to that segment.
Okay, next up we have the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars at the Detroit Lions.
So it was the kittens versus the lions, basically.
What was it, 52 to 7 or something? 52 to 6. Jacksonville got what, two field goals?
I guess. Yeah, I guess that's it. Detroit is still pounding people. Yeah, they're formidable and they are a Super Bowl contender.
But it's November. It's November. Yeah. Remember that. I said it's November.
December, if you're still doing this, get back with me. Yeah. Right now, the teams that are the top teams, they're all the top teams.
No one's won it yet. No. Yep. Nobody's secured a playoff spot. Yeah.
The Chiefs are still the reigning champions because the next game has not been decided that decides the champion.
So I thought it was interesting that the second half Jacksonville was completely shut out.
Not a point. It looked to me like they gave up. Did I mean, if you didn't see the game live, just go to YouTube and look at the highlights.
I mean, they were flatline. I mean, I don't know if you can necessarily chalk this all up to lions.
Yeah, there were one or two players on Jacksonville's defense that looked like they were still trying.
But the rest of them are just like, yeah, let's just run out the season and collect our paychecks and get the hell out of here.
They know Doug Peterson's gone. Yeah. They're just waiting for it.
There's no reason to invest on learning anything he's got to teach you because the next guy is going to come in and teach you something different.
So he's the ultimate lame duck at this point. Yeah. So that tattoo kind of hurts. Oh, man. Yeah.
Oh, man. You know what? At least narrowhead doesn't take very long. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, the red in it.
Oh, my God. When he puts the red in, it's going to really hurt. But Frosted Tips is what I'm worried about.
How are they going to look on my butt cheek? They'll probably just leave it skin tone. Okay. That's good. That's a good idea.
Yeah. I was going to say kudos to Detroit on the one hand for not letting up. Not being a trap game.
And yeah, I also like to not letting up. But you got to wonder, did they give away too much?
Did they show too much in this game that they really didn't need to? Campbell is relatively a newer coach. Yeah.
He might have been tempted. Do you think that Bill Belichick would have done that? No. Andy Reid wouldn't have done that. No.
The Mike Tomlin would not have done that. I think once you were up by three scores,
you start getting super conservative until you're no longer up by three scores and then you go back on the attack.
Especially with Jared Goff where you're apt to throw him four interceptions in a row. Yeah. I mean, that's the kind of guy he is.
He did that last week, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah. He threw five interceptions and they won the game. Crazy.
That's because the other side was throwing interceptions too. It was funny. That was Houston. Yeah. That was Houston they were playing.
Stroud is a little bit, he's a little bit more interception prone, but that's good. He's learning. He's growing. Yeah. So. Yeah.
Anyhow. Los Angeles Rams at New England Patriots. The Rams won 28-22, but still didn't look good doing it.
No. That team's flatlined, I think. Is that Sean McVay head coach there? Yes.
He's got to be worried about not necessarily getting fired, but they're not going to renegotiate his contract until he turns it around.
He's not going to bring in the good free agents and the front office just isn't going to trust him as much.
True. He's got to now wonder of replacing Matthew Stafford is what he's going to be having to look at now.
I think so, yeah. It's, I mean, he has receivers. It just doesn't seem to be there and he was not that great last year either.
He seems to be on the decline. When is his contract up? Good question.
I mean, I think now is the time you have to start looking for the next guy. Yeah.
So Sean McVay and their GM have to start being scouring around looking at potential draft picks and maybe moving up in the draft to get this guy.
You know, there are times when a team will have a situation where they just need a quarterback to come in and, you know. Kirk Cousins.
Yeah. But with the Rams, excuse me, with a number of other teams, I think also the better idea is get the quarterback you believe in.
Yeah. And then get the players that quarterback can work with. Yeah.
Instead of like, well, we've got these three receivers and this running back and that tight end. Let's find a quarterback who can work with them.
Do it the other way around. Get the quarterback first and then each season keep adding players that quarterback wants.
Yes. That is the way to do it. If this is your guy and you're convinced of it, you will do that.
Yeah. So that's the reason to dump the staffer when you can and get in the guy you want and then start cycling out the other players.
Yeah. So I don't think Sean Mavay is even worried about his job, like you said, at all. I think what he needs to start assessing is, is the, probably the realistic view of getting rid of a Super Bowl winning, very successful quarterback.
Yeah. That is probably his best time has passed him and you don't want him, the worst thing you can do is have fruit rotting on the vine.
Yeah. As Carl Peters said.
You got to make sure the fans are okay with you getting rid of Stafford too.
Well, that's where, it's LA.
Yeah, that's true. You're not really worried about season ticket holders. In LA, you're going to sell tickets to the same kind of group of people who are just looking for something to do.
Yeah. If that was Indianapolis or something, maybe, but not LA. And I was talking about the Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning deal where Indy lost a lot of ticket holders because they were so furious that they let Peyton Manning go.
Yeah. Yeah.
That Andrew Luck looked like gold, but didn't he explode his spleen getting hit or something?
Yeah. He had some sort of hellacious injury and then he came back and...
Played two games, I think, in retirement.
Yeah.
I don't want to do it anymore.
Smart guy.
Imagine being out there and every time some big giant man is about to clobber you, you're thinking, is this going to put me back in the hospital? Is this going to end my life?
Yeah. And with him, this is true. I mean, just his body, whatever, cannot take that kind of blows.
Yeah. And probably wasn't using all the supplements and hormones and chemicals that some of the other players use to heal.
You're probably right. He reminded me of a big old farm hand.
Yeah.
I mean, I want to know what it was that Peyton Manning was on that made his forehead swell up so giant.
I mean, you look at his college photos and look at his photos now, his forehead is about 30% bigger.
And it's not because his hair went back, it's because his forehead is enormous.
Yeah.
And there's one kind of steroid where that is the predominant side effect is your forehead gets huge. That's Peyton Manning.
Yeah. We're not saying that's what happened, but...
But all the evidence is there.
Yeah, yeah. Yep.
And you know that any team Peyton Manning was on would do whatever it takes to fake his urine test and his blood test to make sure he can continue.
And the NFL League office would be right along there with him. It's like, yeah, we're not benching this guy. He's making too much money for us.
Yeah, that's true. Yep.
The giant forehead man. Hmm.
All right. Next game up. Baltimore at Pittsburgh.
Those roasted nuts, man, those beans smell so good.
They do. Just dip them in a little dark chocolate and eat them right up.
Oh, I love those.
Man, I got wired so much one time on chocolate covered espresso beans. I ate like a handful. It was vibrating.
Oh, no, no. I just ate them until I shook.
The combo of chocolate and caffeine really seems to get me.
Oh, yeah. I couldn't write my name. I was shaking so bad. But it was fun.
Baltimore at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh won 18 to 16.
That was a good game. Yeah, yeah.
That game either team could have won, but Pittsburgh gutted it out.
Pittsburgh is showing that they are formidable and they might win the division.
Yeah, yeah. They passed Baltimore with that game.
Yeah, and Baltimore to me is still, they're missing. Struggling.
Yeah, they're struggling.
Yeah, it was interesting. Pittsburgh won on six field goals.
18 points on six field goals. Didn't get in the end zone once.
It's just kind of weird. If it was Pittsburgh, I would be somewhat worried about that.
Yes. Yeah, Baltimore is missing something.
And I cannot put my finger on it because these close games, they should be winning. They're not.
We kind of figured it out with Cincy that it's probably Joe Burrow making an exit.
But with Baltimore, something is going wrong there that it's affecting the whole team.
Yeah. They're not playing that good at times. Other times they look like world beaters, but it's against certain matchups.
Other matchups were, this is the way I see it right here.
John Harbaugh is a great coach and he is also a Super Bowl winning coach.
But there's got to be a flaw in their game plan that certain teams can get by and other ones can't.
I mean, you know what I mean? Yeah, people are seeing something in that team.
They're exploiting it. Yeah.
We'll see how their trajectory goes from here, but I see Pittsburgh on the rise and Baltimore faltering.
I do too. And drop into a wild card.
Well, I mean, case in point, all of their playoff games, all their playoff games, they had a chance of winning and they didn't.
Yeah. Yeah. That's almost worse than being overmatched is you had a chance and you blew it.
Well, yeah. What is it with the team that can't get over the hump and looks like they either receded some?
Yeah. Then you start getting, they question your dedication, your heart, your motivation, whatever term you want to use.
Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Well, yeah, I don't know what else to say about that is.
Yeah, Pittsburgh's ascending and maybe Baltimore is descending a bit.
Yeah. I'm trying to figure out what I wrote here on this next game. Seattle at San Francisco is our next game.
Seattle in 2017. I think you pick Seattle. I pick SF.
Yeah. And you also picked Baltimore in the previous game.
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
But I wrote down double something for Seattle. I can't read what I wrote.
So I'm trying to think. What could it be? Double what?
Double TO, double TD.
Oh, it was in overtime.
Oh, okay. Who knows? I wrote down something about it made it special for Seattle in some way, but...
Oh. I can't read my own damn handwriting. I don't remember what I was trying to say.
And I have no idea. I know it went to overtime. That's all I know.
Yeah. I mean, I saw the excerpts of it. Brock Purdy is coming back down to earth rather quickly.
Yeah. I mean, this is another one of those classic, I think Kansas City broke this team.
This would be dynasty before they became one. And this last loss, I think you could see it in their faces.
They're like, we're never going to get by this. I think it's kind of in their head now.
McCaffrey is showing signs of being McCaffrey. He's fantastic when he's on the field, but so many times he's not.
Yeah.
Brock Purdy's a good quarterback, but he's probably not that guy that can take the game on his shoulder and win it for you.
Yeah. He doesn't have that pinpoint accuracy long.
And they've been playing teams that they need to beat and they've been losing to them in the division
or the teams that they're going to meet in the playoffs or the Chiefs themselves.
Yeah. So I mean, both teams are just waddling right now in mediocrity. So what do you say?
Geno Smith, Geno Smith, and at times he's Geno Smith and at other times he's not.
It's weird. Yeah. It's Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing for Geno Smith.
Well, yeah, I don't know what else to say about that. I mean, that's pretty much, yeah.
Okay. Here's the thing that I was trying to...
Oh, is the double timeout.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Seattle called a timeout and then they went to timeout and they came back.
And then Seattle tried to call timeout again, which you can't do.
Two timeouts in a row is a delay of game.
But instead the officials huddled and then pretended as if Seattle hadn't tried to call a second timeout and let the game go.
Yeah. Wasn't that bullshit?
It was absolute bullshit. And a former referee, a former NFL official would say, yeah, this is just totally wrong. It's total bullshit.
It's the absolute wrong thing to do.
They all knew what they were doing, obviously, by the way, they looked and how they did it.
Now, I really, really hope that people won't look at the officials and say they did it.
No, they were following orders.
Somebody was telling the officials when they got huddled up and somebody told them, don't call this penalty, let it go.
Yeah. I want to know who's making these choices that are deciding some of these games.
Well, we know that everything is influenced heavily by betting.
Yeah. So you can make your own. You can make your own judgment.
Yeah. And just like professional wrestling, I think certain teams are picked to be on the rise and be the good guys.
And certain teams are picked to be on the decline and the villains.
Right now, I think Dallas is one of the villains. I think San Francisco is one of the villains.
There are some other teams that just seem to be getting crap calls that really screw up their game.
So people dog. They dog Brady. They dog Mahomes. They dog other head coaches. They chum up with the referees.
How is that a bad idea?
Yeah, apparently it's legal. Apparently it's within the rules. And if it helps, then why isn't everyone doing it?
I guarantee you it helps. Yeah.
I guarantee you if one guy's a prick to you and the other guy's really nice and signs you're a jersey for your kid,
you're naturally, whether you realize it or not, you're going to favor that guy.
And it's like, man, he's so cool, man. That was great.
And there was a brief flare up of objection to the fact that the officials are buddying up to the players.
And then it just died right out because people realize it doesn't really matter.
No. No. What really matters is talent and being it when it matters.
And Seema Holmes, right now he doesn't look like it. I guarantee you if his playoffs, he would look like it.
He has another gear that he isn't using right this moment.
Yeah. I got to go into this. I didn't look at it at all. But there's this report out by somebody that made a lot of sense.
Whenever Holmes has the secret sauce, the recipe, you ever see him do his hand motions where he's just like, come here, come here, come here?
That's when he's thought of something and he's excited. And that's when he's going to kill you.
But I got to get that whole article because there's a big article for different instances when he's done this.
He doesn't do it every huddle. Yeah. Yeah. And I have seen what you're talking about.
At first they said that's him telling the sideline, you know, hurry up and give me the play.
Yeah. But I think it means something else. No, no, no. I think it means something else, too.
I think it means, guys, this is it. Come on. Let's go and do it. Yeah.
So and I don't even know if he meant to do it at first. Oh, yeah. It could be just one of those tells.
Yeah. I think it's one of those things like, guys, get over here. I got it. I got it. Yeah.
So so he ought to start doing it intentionally to throw the other team off. That's what I say.
Wow. They'll be like, oh, shit, they're they're deep one. Yeah, whatever.
They'll use handoff to fucking hunt. And everyone's like looking deep.
All right. Next, our next game is Atlanta at Denver. OK.
Denver, Cloverton, 38, six. Holy cow. Ah. But we both got that right.
Yeah. We both did. Denver is a good team. They are better.
They shut out Atlanta in the second half. Yep. Kirk Cousins through one TD and one interception.
He's being Kirk Cousins. No, no TDs in one interception. Yeah.
I mean, I don't know why any. He's a great guy. Awesome guy.
Like I said, he's a neighbor that will come over and mow your lawn when you're gone. Yeah.
But only mow three quarters of it. And then he'll run over your hose. Yes.
The party mowed will look great. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like great.
Kurt's got. Oh, shit. What did he do here? Yeah.
It's funny. Minnesota got rid of Kirk Cousins and got a guy just like him in Sam Darnold. Yeah.
Yeah. And then Kirk Cousins went to Atlanta. Looked great. Now he's looking like Kirk Cousins again.
Yeah. That's why I told the Tampa Bay people, they're like, oh, we're not going to win the division.
I go, no, Kirk Cousins going to be Kirk Cousins. You wait. Yeah.
Yeah. New Orleans is falling off a cliff. Atlanta's definitely showing cracks.
Yeah. That division is there to be won. And Baker Mayfield has been there before. He's done that.
I look for them to win it. Yeah. Right now, I think Tampa and Atlanta are the only two that really have a realistic chance of winning that division.
That's it. Yeah. But either one of them could get it. Yeah. Very, very much so. Yep.
See, Tampa Bay was on a on a buy last week. Yeah. But I mean, they're four and six, which is kind of far out because Atlanta is now six and five.
Yeah. Let's look at our remaining schedule. OK. Each one of them. You get Atlanta. I'll get Tampa Bay. All right.
That that that that that that that Tampa Bay remaining schedule.
But Atlanta Falcons remaining schedule. All right. We have.
Oh, Buccaneers play the Giants, the Panthers, the Raiders.
Giants, Panthers, Raiders, Chargers, Cowboys, Panthers, Saints.
That doesn't sound too tough. And listen to Falcons, their very next game is going to be to do the Chargers.
So the Chargers are on a roll. Then they play the Vikings. You can beat the Vikings.
Yeah. The Raiders. The Giants. Yeah. The Commander's going to be a tough game. Yeah. And then the Panthers.
So they got an easy schedule, too. Yeah. Well, I mean, look at the Buccaneers. They're at the Giants, at Panthers, home for the Raiders.
They should win all those at the Chargers. That's where the Bucs could lose. Yeah.
And that's where Atlanta can lose to. And then at the Cowboys, they should win that. Yeah.
Post the Panthers and then at the Saints. I can see the Buccaneers going 10 and 7. I could, too. Yeah.
Interesting. Yeah. So, OK. I mean, yeah, I mean, that can go either way.
And like I said, Kirk Cousins can win it for you, too. Yeah.
All right. Now the painful one, Casey at Buffalo. Buffalo won 30 to 21. We both predicted Buffalo was going to win.
Yeah. I think I predicted Nut Tugger, did you? You were 23-21. I was 27-20. You were closer.
And you know, the Chiefs kind of played the way I thought they would. Same here, too.
A little disorganized. Things weren't quite working. Stupid penalties caused by either or both tackles.
Yeah. Jawan Taylor's a big fat bitch. Oh, God. And Worthy doing his little double toe tap before he caught the ball.
Yeah. And then just running right out of bounds.
You see, I looked at that again and I agree with the referees now. At first, I thought that he had both of them on the ground ahead of time. He didn't.
No. We could have won that game if he would have made that catch. But then again, I mean. He's a rookie. He's a rookie.
Yeah. It shouldn't come down to that. And also, the Bills should be upset. And they should be trying to beat us. Yeah.
That other team's good, too, on the other side. Yeah. They only have one more loss than us. That's it. Yeah.
So the Bills pass rush was way better than the Chiefs pass rush. Yes. And Jim Kelly. I keep calling him Jim Kelly.
Josh Allen's response to it was way better than Mahomes because Josh Allen was like, oh, you're coming throw.
Yeah. Oh, you're about to hit me throw. Yeah. Mahomes was run. Scramble. Look around. Scramble's more. Run. Scramble. No.
No. He holds it way too long. And he's still holding it way too long. If it's not there in three seconds, throw the damn thing away.
And then go tell your coach and receivers, get open or call a play where you're going to get open in the first three seconds because I'm not running back here for more than that.
He needs to. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's got to be the focus is if nobody's open after three seconds, throw the damn thing away. Yeah.
And if nobody's open next time, throw it away again. Yeah. And the next time and the next time. And if you have to pump, then go to the headline.
They go to the sideline and tell Andy, look, man, you're calling shit. Give me something that's going to work in three seconds.
Well, I don't know, man. Matt Nagy. I don't know. Like I said to you personally, I think it's just a conversation not on this show was Eric Bienemme had to see.
He had the secret sauce, it seems like. Man, Nagy, I don't know. Yeah. Eric Bienemme got everyone fired up, got everybody wanting to perform well and impress Eric and do what Eric wanted him.
Yeah. Because when he Bienemme went to Washington, it failed there because the players are like, who's this guy yelling at us? Yeah. I don't know this guy.
And I think the Chiefs players all started to relax and think, oh, yeah, we're just better than them. So our natural talent will be enough.
But then again, we did win two Super Bowls in a row without him. Yeah. So. But I think the cracks are getting wider. I think they are too.
It's going to take a hell of a lot of effort. They're going to have to reinvent themselves big time. Yeah. So anyhow, that will come.
I have faith that it will. And I'm just going to go with my last statement on this, what Mahal said to Josh Allen. See you in January. Yeah.
That's it. And they will. Yeah. So that's it right there. See you in January.
All right. Next game, Cincinnati at the Chargers. Chargers won 34-27.
Interesting game because Nattie came back in the first half and tied it up 27 to 27. Hello. Hi. How are you doing? Good. I love this. Great.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. We encourage people just come up and talk. Really? Yeah. All right. OK. I'm going to turn the mic around. All right.
Well, so you're down here every week or what? You ready for the Chiefs? Yeah, we're down here. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's what we're talking about. Oh, my God.
I can't wait. We're ready to come back with a vengeance. Yeah. You know, it's some point in time, Buffalo.
I mean, they win during the regular season and we win during the postseason. That's why I wanted. I don't want it changing. No.
But I mean, Buffalo is a very good team and they are mad at us. Yes, they have a reason to be. Very much so. Me and him both picked Buffalo because of that.
What? Yeah. Well, no, we don't want them to win. We just believe they was going to win. And that's because there's a little thing here, you know, like revenge. Huge revenge.
So now we'll see them at the Super Bowl. I really have a championship game. Yeah. Yeah. Championship game. Yeah. We'll be there.
We'll be there with them. That's I predict that's what's going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. And it's going to be us. It wins, of course. Of course.
They'll be at Arrowhead and they'll have their heart ripped out again. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And we'll all be cheering, blowing out the stadium with decimals.
Yeah. Well, I made a preseason prediction that was going to be the Chiefs and the Lions in the Super Bowl. That's so far. That's that's definitely a possibility.
Yeah, it is. That's a pretty good. That's solid right now, isn't it? Wow. So what's your names? I'm Topher. I'm Mark. Nice to meet you. I'm Sue.
All right. Keep on doing what you do. OK. I love it. Thanks for coming by and talking. Yeah. Anytime. Anytime you want to come by. I love it. We're here Tuesdays. Excellent.
Have a great day. Thanks for talking with us. Thank you. That's the best part of being here.
It is. I know people just come by and talking. That's so awesome.
There are going to be some times this winter where it's just too cold to come down here. And that's the part I'm going to miss. Yeah.
The interaction. Yeah. Yep. Oh, well. Oh, well. We'll find other places to frequent inside. Yeah. So.
All right. Well, I don't know what else to say about that. We'll see them in January. Yeah, definitely see them in January.
OK. I bumped something when I was turning around there. I think we're back to normal. Oh, I forgot to tell her the name of our show.
So she could. Oh, yeah. I'm glad she introduced herself because I was going to ask her. Yeah.
Let's see. We were talking Cincinnati at Chargers. We already talked about what's probably going on with Joe Burrow and the effect that's going to have on the team.
I mean, this is speculation, but man, everything is pointing towards him being unhappy and wanting to leave. Yeah.
And I can't necessarily blame him. I don't think he believes in Zach Taylor. I don't think he believes in the front office because they made no moves.
None. Not one move to say, hey, Joe, you've done it before. We believe in you.
Here's a couple of guys we think are going to help you win. Really? Just that little vote of confidence.
Yeah, they would have been important to. They just stood there whistling, looking in there.
And I guarantee you, Joe Burrow, unless Joe Burrow already made his intentions clear before that and they're like, all right, well, we're not getting anybody.
Yeah. See, that would play. That's another indication that we're right. Burrows on his way out. Yeah. And they also have the interim guy.
I forgot their backup last year that played fairly well. That's true. That's true. When Burrow was out with an injury.
What was their backups name last year? I can't remember. I assume he would still be there, but you know what?
I think it also should concern Cincinnati fan and the team that Cincinnati's defense didn't show up for the first half. No, no, not at all.
They did in the second half. Yeah. But in the first half, it was just like, yeah, whatever you guys want to run, we'll just step aside.
Was that a game plan? Was that a failed game plan? That was a failure. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, boxers will do that.
Hey, yeah, punch yourself out and get yourself tired. I can take it and then I'm going to beat you in the. Yeah. Yeah.
You stand there. Yeah. But football teams don't do that.
It was it was whatever Cincinnati had for their defensive game plan wasn't working and they were unable to shift it and modify it until much later in the game.
Yeah. So it was I was surprised that Cincinnati came back and got it within a score. So there's some fight left in them.
Yeah. Gosh, I really don't know. No, I'm starting to think Pittsburgh and Baltimore make the playoffs out of that division.
And Cleveland and since the year just licking their wounds, they're licking their wounds. Yeah.
When you have Pittsburgh doing so well, Baltimore doing so well, there's no room. No, especially they have seven losses already. That's true.
They're the way teams are playing this year. I mean, anything can happen. Of course. Yeah.
Their chances of pro football focus 20, no, 18 percent, I think, of making the playoffs.
See, they're 18 or 22 percent chance of them making the playoffs. Yeah. Playoffs. Playoffs.
Yeah. Cincinnati would with going undefeated the rest of the way would wind up 10 and seven.
Yeah. And Baltimore's already got seven wins. Pittsburgh's already got eight wins. Yeah. And they beat them head to head.
So yeah. So there really isn't much of a chance without a complete collapse by two other teams in your division.
They play them again. Each one of them, I do believe. Yeah. Because that was that was Pittsburgh's first division game of the year.
Yes. So from here on out, Pittsburgh is basically playing division game. And I don't think they played Baltimore twice.
So that would be the only thing. But you really think that they're going to go ahead and win both of those when they haven't done anything all year?
No, I'm not even going to look at the remaining schedule. No, they're out of it. We know it. Yeah.
And the Monday Night Football game. Houston at Dallas. Houston won very handily 34 to 10. We both picked it. It warmed my heart.
Yes. Warmed my heart. Houston never trailed. No. They were ahead the whole game. Seven nothing first drive. I added on at 10 nothing.
Then Dallas had that one really good pass and run after. Yeah. I mean, Dallas is just they don't have much of anything now, it looks like.
Yeah. As you're saying, Dak Prescott up in the up in the booth laughing and giggling. He was having a fucking blast every time I showed him.
And I almost wonder if it's on purpose. He's probably so happy to be out of that shit show. Yeah.
He's sitting there. He's supposed to be analyzing offense, I'm pretty sure, and going, hey, here's what we did wrong. Hey, I think we need to do this.
Instead, he's having it up with the camera boys or something. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, and every time they show him is at the wrong time.
You got me on that one. Yeah. I wonder if that was intentional on the part of that. That's what I'm wondering.
The director of who's directing the television broadcast. Like the director picks the camera shots that go out over the air.
And he's like, you know, you keep your camera on Dak Prescott. And any time he looks like he's having a blast, let me know.
We're going to cut to it. Yeah. Or they could just pre record them in advance. Yeah, that could be.
Let's record about eight, nine bits of of him laughing and grinning and hamming it up.
And then we'll play them right after Dallas does something shitty. Yeah, I'm really surprised that I haven't seen any means over that because it was pretty obvious.
And, you know, any time the camera cuts, it could be going to something pre-recorded. Yeah, you know, so you can't trust that that's the reaction shot to what actually happened.
There's some stock footage, if you will. Yeah. On everywhere. Yeah.
You know, it's like, hey, how can we look so young? We didn't bother to get a recent picture. So anyhow.
So I thought it was interesting. The Cooper Rush for Dallas had one one touchdown, one interception.
How many yards did he end up with? Three hundred and fifty four. Well, he got like 70 of them on the on the 10 yard pass. Yeah. Yeah.
I think a lot of them was run after catch, just like Alex Smith, the one year that he
leaded the division, the year that we let him go the next year, we traded him to Washington.
He had a 103.7 quarterback rating. Yeah. And he compiled a lot, almost 5000 yards. I mean, he looked great. He did.
OK. And the reason was is he would throw that 10 yard, 15 yard pass and Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey would break it. Yeah.
Stretch it. Yeah. They're like, how in the hell did Alex Smith get 370 yards?
Well, Tyreek accounted for 140 of them by running after pass. You know, well, Dallas only rushed for 64 yards.
Yeah. Ezekiel Elliott was nowhere to be found. They're done with him. Yeah. That's OK. Ezekiel Elliott will be the face of what's going on in Dallas.
They're not looking for real answers. They're just looking for like little patches. Yeah. Yeah.
It seemed like it was really just a bone to throw to the fans. Oh, you liked him.
We'll bring him back and then you'll be happy again. And then he just craps all over the team and the team is worse for him being there.
Yeah. That's if you're a Cowboys fan, that's what your organization is doing right now and thinks they're winning.
Oh, yeah. We're doing the right thing here. Dallas, give up your tickets. I would be really worried.
I would. I would. Yeah. I'd be like, you know what? Fuck you. Get rid of Jerry Jones. Decapitate the monster and then start from scratch.
Here's a theory. In five years, we're going to hear that Jerry Jones had early onset had early dementia symptoms during this time.
And we just didn't know about it. And that's why he made all those bad moves is because the poor guy had dementia.
Yeah. And then Cowboy fan will forgive everything and believe all over again. Yeah. Yeah. And I got one for you.
This is back to the Paul Tyson fight. The only five minutes I could get without buffering was Jerry Jones.
I've been hearing that. Yeah. It's like him. But close up of his stupid mug saying stupid shit, bragging about stupid things.
And it surprises me that whoever directed that broadcast thought that we wanted to see Jerry Jones face on TV.
Everybody turned it off. So the people dumb enough to keep it on like me got to watch it. I was in hopes that it was going to stay like that.
But then as soon as they went back to action. Yep. Yep. I had to watch it on my cell phone, actually.
I saw a comparison video of Mike Tyson and how he acted during sparring and practicing. And he was fast. He was quick. He was on it.
Then they showed how he acted in the ring half asleep. Yeah. He was just getting the paycheck. Both of them were just getting the paycheck.
I think they had a gentleman's agreement. Yeah. And you know, I knew it going in that it was going to be nothing and crap and worthless waste of time.
So I didn't watch. I watched just because of the novelty of it. I mean, yeah. I want to see I want to see Iron Mike one more time.
And I did. And his long nipples. I can't say I'm happy that I did, though. Maybe I should have left it the way it was.
Yeah. It's like an old girlfriend that you know that you know is still evil and still like, I don't know, you know, a deceiver and all this stuff.
And she gets you back at one last time. Like, Mark, I'm different now. No, no, no, no, no. No, really, Mark. It's different now.
I want to settle down. Oh, no, no, no, no. Mark, really, really? OK.
It's Mike Dyson. It's like, oh, you can still fight. Yes. Are you sure you can still fight? Oh, yeah. OK. I'll watch you fight.
Well, one last thing I'll say about the Dallas Houston game is Dallas took a field goal off the board. Yes. They kicked a field goal, made it, and then put it back to what?
Either a two or a one score. Yeah. Then they was it a 15 yarder, I think. It wasn't. It was like 50 yards. Yeah, it was a big one.
And then there was a penalty on the penalty was a 15 yarder, wasn't it? Houston for unnecessary roughness. It was like a head hit or something like that. Right. Yeah.
Yeah. So they moved it up 15, but Dallas already made the kick. Do you really take points off the board?
Usually you don't, especially because that put it from a three score game to a two score game. Yeah. But Dallas took the points off and then the rest of the drive got nothing.
So it's still a three point game. Mike McCarthy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So a lot of people are second guessing that taking three points off the board, as it turned out, those three points wouldn't have made any difference in the final score.
But then again, maybe the game would have gone different. Yeah. So more and more hijinks in Dallas. Yeah.
So that's about everything I got. Football related. All right. Well, you want to go into some bullet points? Yes. Yes. Yes. All right.
Now this one's just an odd one. And just because. Okay. If you could not root for the Chiefs, what team would you root for and why?
Oh, I think this year I'd probably be rooting for Detroit. They've been down a long time. I'd like to see him get a chance in the limelight. I like a lot of the players on the Detroit Lions.
If it were a different AFC team. Man, that's tough because there's not a lot of AFC teams. I'm going to go with the AFC team because AFC teams, we see them all the time at our arrivals. Yeah.
I want Washington. I would root for Washington. They got rid of Dan Snyder, the idiot, and they got a really good young quarterback that is starting to get it done.
And I would root for them because I already do. So. But Detroit. I'd root for Washington. I see Detroit though because, you know, they've always been the bottom dwellers and they finally got it together and a good head coach.
And that town could really use a championship. And also this. The Rams got Matthew Stafford. They got one Super Bowl and that's probably it with him. Wouldn't it be great if Jared Goff got one?
That would be. And it would be like, well, you traded for nothing, dumbass. So there you go.
Okay. That question went better off than I did. When we started talking it out, I'm like, okay, yeah, we had really legitimate reasons. Yeah. Okay. But AFC, I think I'd probably go with Houston.
Me too. I've always. Ever since they started as an expansion team, I've liked the Houston Texans. I have too. I really liked them in the playoffs. Yeah.
Because we usually kick their ass. I remember I was up in Massachusetts on a job and I walk into. Okay. I was late because I was waiting for an Uber driver to come get me. Right.
And I was late to that barbecue joint that I was going to watch the game at. Right. Because they had they were kind of a sports bar too. And so I was late.
So I get to the game and we're behind 24 to nothing. And I'm like, what the hell happened? And I was motherfucking. I was wearing my home's jersey.
He got next to me and said, you guys got my home. So I won't worry about it too much. Yeah. He had more faith than I did.
Chris, we've been through a lot. He came up a little bit later. Yeah. We've been through a lot of heart wrenching losses in Kansas City with other quarterbacks.
So we're still gun shy. That was the day Kobe Bryant died too. I remember I was watching the game and the big yellow screen said Kobe Bryant dead at whatever.
And I'm like, what? I missed everything today. So anyhow. I remember watching an investigation into the helicopter crash that killed Kobe.
And for the most part. Is this his fault? Well, it wasn't Kobe's fault. Oh, it wasn't? It was the pilot's fault.
Oh, I thought he demanded to go in bed. He asked to. He said, I want to go to this certain place and get there by a certain time.
It was like his daughter's game. Yeah. And the pilot was the same pilot that Kobe pretty much always used.
And the guy had gone from a professional helicopter pilot to being a Kobe Bryant fanboy. Oh boy.
He was spending most of his time trying to please Kobe and joke with Kobe and be Kobe's best friend instead of flying the damn helicopter.
Yeah, I see what you mean. It was the pilot's fault because he agreed to do it when he knew better. Kobe Bryant didn't know.
He was like, can we go? And he's like, sure. Anything. Yeah. And the helicopter pilot flew out of his designated flight path.
He flew in the wrong area, got into a bank of clouds and then just lost his sense of direction. And they were winding up like flying sideways and down.
And he thought he was flying straight level. And they just went plowing right in. A helicopter is not that fast in the dissension either.
So it had been horrible. Yeah. Yeah. They probably knew a few seconds before they hit exactly what was going to happen to them.
But yeah, you don't party with the pilot. That's where a lot of people lose their lives is you to make friends or you party with them or you became buddies.
Or there was another air crash where the captain had his kids come up and sit in the seat and fly the plane. Oh, I remember that. Yeah.
And one of the kids disengaged the autopilot without realizing it. No one else did. The plane went down. Wow. Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that. That was quite a while ago. Yeah. Yeah. The cockpit voice recorder recorded his kids up there sitting in the pilot seat, their hands on the controls.
Wow. Another reason I don't like flying. Oh, yeah. If I can get around flying, I will. But man, there's nothing better than getting to Florida in like three hours. True.
Oh, it's great. But anyhow, all right. Bullet points. Should the Super Bowl consider scaling down the halftime show or will the teams need that extra time to calm down and to game plan?
Do you think it's actually a good thing? Yeah, I think the teams do benefit from having a little extra time to calm down.
As far as the question, should they do? I don't think they ever will scale down the halftime because the halftime show makes a lot of money for the NFL. Exactly.
Because the performers who perform at halftime pay for the privilege to perform at halftime. It also adds viewership. Yeah. Yeah.
So who wasn't last year that bought the halftime show and then started farming pieces of it out?
Well, after Breanna and all that stuff and her midsection touching stuff and all that stuff, I think last year is kind of not so quite a, what would you call it?
Flamboyant. Flamboyant. Yeah. I can't remember who it was. It was an older artist, I believe, wasn't it? Like maybe it's Drake or something. I can't remember.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, for the NFL, it's a money opportunity. Yeah. For their performers, it's an exposure kind of thing because they will absolutely definitely get talked about because the media is obligated to.
By contract, they're obligated to talk about the halftime entertainment and talk about it nicely. But if everyone is sick and tired of it and is tuning out, you know, because, hey, it's going to be 30 minutes.
I'll just, you know, I'll set a timer, go watch the show, and then I'll come back when the second half starts. Then it's just not working out for anybody. I agree.
They're going to have to change it or artists and entertainers are going to quit buying the halftime show because it's losing them money. The NFL, I think, wants to keep it the way it is. But as the fans start turning away, musicians and other people aren't going to keep forking out the bucks to do the halftime show.
I think that's the best way to answer it. I agree with it 100%. I'll know what to add to that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
When it comes to the NFL, they're going to chase the money. Yeah. First and foremost. It doesn't matter how anyone feels. This is the way it's going. Doesn't matter how it changes the game. Doesn't matter how it disrupts traditions.
As a matter of fact, I think the players could go to them and go, we would like to scale down a little bit because it's really interrupting our flow and mindset. And they'd be like, no. No.
All right. Next one. Should the NFL require an attendance standard for cities in the league and should teams be pulled because of lack of interest? So like Jacksonville. Yeah. Or Carolina. Yeah. I know they have horrible teams.
But if this continues, should the governed body, it could be of who's there now or it could be the rest of the owners, could they dictate to them and go, listen, this area doesn't like you. We want to go somewhere else where there's more interest.
Let's say Columbus, Ohio is a big market, right? Yeah. And they want their own team. And Jacksonville doesn't give a shit. Should they have the right to Columbus have the right to go, you know what? We're building a new stadium and we want them.
Nobody there wants them. We do. Look at this fan base. Look at all these signatures. Look at all these season tickets we would sell.
I mean, really the whole object is, is get as many people on the bandwagon and ready to go and talking about the NFL as possible. That would be a great way. But then there's that other side where if you go through a lull and people are like really pissed off like Dallas.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Would you move the Cowboys? No. You're not going to move the Cowboys. Yeah. But it could be considered under this plan. As much as I like it, I don't like it.
You know, as much as I like the thought that you have to add excitement and entertaining. Yeah. You got to earn your spot. Yeah. Basically, you got to earn your spot. But I think this is a bad idea. Yeah.
I think it's already happening to a lesser degree informally. It has. The NFL franchise is basically fall into two categories. One is we want to be in this city and the others are we want to continue this franchise name regardless of where we are in the city.
I agree. In the state, in the country, whatever. So Dallas, you would keep in Dallas, but you could bring pressure to flush out the owner, the front office, just totally make them revamp.
And the way they bring pressure is they stop scheduling you for national games. They quit covering you so much in the press. Dallas will feel the squeeze and do what the league office tells them to.
But like Jacksonville of Carolina, they're not really invested in those cities. So it's like, hey, if we can move on these teams to Columbus, Ohio, we could even rename them because people aren't really invested in those names per se.
There's a lot of other emerging markets that are looking for a team because a city that has a professional team has their stamp. Yeah.
You know, it's like, oh, OK, they're legitimate. You never hear about Columbus, Ohio, because they do not have a professional. Well, they have a soccer team. Yeah.
But they're basically college sports kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Just like Nebraska is. Yes. Nebraska, I don't think would want an NFL team because college football is so important.
Yeah. I mean, I mean, you could look at them if they wanted an NFL team and they'd be a great market. I'm sure. What a rivalry. Yeah. Kansas City. But this is not the way to do it.
And I think that is not looking for expansion in America now. I think they're looking at it over. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's the smart way to go.
All right. What football reporter is the most accurate? Who gets it right most of the time? I'm saying Adam Schaftor. Yeah, I would say Schaftor.
Scott Van Pelt doesn't really do a whole lot. He's not out there the way Schaftor is. No, Schaftor digs. Scott Van Pelt, he's really good at what he does, but he's not necessarily the scoop guy.
No, he's the show presenter kind of guy. Yeah, and he's very good at it. Yeah. So, yeah, I'd say Adam Schaftor would probably be it. Yeah, he's kind of the he's kind of it. Yeah.
And the funny thing is, is for a long time he was not it. He kind of developed into it. Yeah, I think people kind of over time figured out that this guy knew what he was talking about more than a lot of other people do.
Yeah. Oh, speaking of not knowing what you're talking about. I've seen some promos already talking about the draft. Uh huh. And they're still talking about Mel Kuiper.
Why are they still on this guy? He is useless. He is he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's proved irrelevant. Yeah, he's so utterly useless and irrelevant and wrong, but they keep trotting him out every year.
I don't know who it is that still believes him and wants to hear what he has to say. Yeah, yeah, who still wants to hear what he has to say. Yeah. I'm really surprised that Mel Kuiper's still hanging in there.
And I don't know if he's still remember he had that whole magazine he would sell. Oh, yeah. What a dipshit. Yeah. I'm sure no one's buying that anymore. No, no, that guy.
He's yeah, he proved to be an idiot in my opinion, a long time ago. And like I said, he's human foreskin. Yeah, just worthless. Yeah. Dick flap. Yeah. That's all. Yeah. He talks real fast and he says a lot of words.
But then you realize he really doesn't know what he's talking about. Yeah, he says a bunch of stuff that he has no idea and should comment on. Yeah.
Okay, next one. Why in the world did Mike Tyson walk around with his ass hanging out of his ass floss that he had on? Did you see that?
Why in the world would you allow that? He wants to get laid.
Think that's it? Yeah. He did grab his penis during the weigh in. So maybe you're right. Yeah. Yeah. He's just out there. It's like his Tinder profile.
Plus, it's titillating all the people watching. We saw butt cheeks. Look at my ass. My ass is so big or whatever or good or whatever. Not big. He doesn't have a big ass. My ass is so muscular.
And it's kind of interesting and saddening sometimes to look at what entertains people. Because that was entertaining for a lot of people.
Well, that was great big talk. That was great big talk. Everybody's talking about Mike Tyson's ass floss. Yeah.
And I'm sure that's why the network, Netflix or whoever has put it out there is because they thought, ooh, this will get us some attention. You're right.
It's like, remember that show NYPD Blue was one of the first ones to show ass nudity on network television. Yeah. And it was always done just for pandering and exploitative purposes.
It never had anything to do with the story line. It was just, you know, it was just a gimmick to appeal to those type of people.
And I think that's why Mike Tyson did it is it gets more people to feel less shitty about the last 30 minutes they spent watching that crap.
You know what? And you're right. No one's really talking about the fight. They're talking about the antics of the fight. So there you go. You're right.
It really seems like the whole thing was designed to be distraction and not really a sporting event. And that's what it wound up being. Yeah.
So, you know, on that on that level, it succeeded in exactly what Netflix wanted. And, you know, their only issue, I'm sure, is the is the streaming problems they had.
But as you said, that was probably a test run. Yeah. For the upcoming football games like, hey, let's throw out something that we don't give a damn about and see if our network can handle.
That's true. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a doorway game. And the only way you're going to get that amount of people, people are not going to buy that for 70 bucks.
Yeah, because you would have had a lot of people demanding their money back. But by doing it for free, they probably knew going in, they were going to have a lot of problems or screw ups.
It's like, let's do it for free. So we don't have to get sued by anybody. You can test the network then. Yeah. Right. Yeah. All right.
We're being used as beta testers. Beta testers. Yeah. Unwilling beta testers. People like me cussing their TV. You know, I was cussing my internet provider.
And then I realized it happened everywhere. Because I look on Facebook, I'm like, wait a minute. Yeah. So it's like the other day, I went through an enormous long rigmarole of getting logged in to the Office of Personnel Management,
which is what retired federal employees go through. So I can pick my new health insurance for the coming year. And by the time I got through the whole login process and it transferred me to the government website, it was crashed.
Because it's open season and everybody's logging in trying to mess with their health insurance and their network just can't handle it. So as soon as I saw that crashed, you know, web page is like, yeah, it's not it's not anything I have control over.
It's at the source. They're overloaded and they can't handle it. You're right. Yeah. All right. That was Netflix. If you could put together a football commentator team, let's say two main guys, a field reporter and a halftime guy,
who would you pick for what spot alive or dead? Literally anybody. Okay. Play by play with Kevin Harlan. Yes. Color commentary, Lind Awesome. Yep.
And then for the two sideline reporters, one would be Bill Grigsby. Oh, yeah. He's just so much fun. Yeah, he was. And the other one, Pam Oliver.
You know what? I see no reason to go against that. Yeah, I've always liked Pam Oliver. She's smart. She doesn't bullshit around. She's my favorite. She knows what she's talking about. Yeah. She doesn't pander.
She goes, man, Josh, that was such a good pass earlier in the third quarter when you were scrambling. No, she's just like, well, you know, you're going to make play. You know, stuff, you know, is this a step towards in the right direction of maybe getting past Kansas City?
You know, yeah, stuff that really is relevant that people want to hear. Yeah. So, okay. I was trying to think of remember there was a blonde woman. I think she worked for ESPN. Bonnie Bernstein. Yeah. Yeah.
She seemed like she was really with it and on the ball. She just disappeared. I see her anywhere. Yeah. It was just like one year, boop, gone. No idea where she went. I liked her a lot. Yeah, I think she did a really good job.
I was surprised that she was nowhere. Yeah. So it must have been her decision because I'm pretty sure someone would have picked her up if they in fact let her go.
Well, knowing ESPN, somebody probably tried to rape her at work and flooded her inbox with dick pics and she had had enough and left. That is ESPN's end. Yeah.
And Disney and McDonald's and US Steel. Wait a minute. What's this Brett Favre guy? Favre dude.
If you know, you know. Yeah. All right. What if the division is weak? The division champion is under 500. Should the winner of the division have to forfeit to the first team left out of the playoffs?
But only sub 500 and the next team like let's say a 10 of 17 is left out because the other two teams are 11 and 12 or 13 wins, right? Yeah. Okay.
And then you have the third one there like let's say Denver. The Chargers are second and Denver's like 10 and 7. And then let's say the Jets. Okay.
Let's just pick them. They win sub 500. Okay. Or Houston wins sub 500. Okay. I don't think they're going to.
Should they be allowed to take that final playoff spot because they're obviously the better team and better suited?
I would say yes. If you finish with a losing record and still win your division, you win your division and you win the title and you get all the glory that goes with that.
But you don't go to the playoffs. You don't get the automatic playoff births anymore. Playoffs? Yeah. Yeah.
So yeah, I think the four division winners should get automatic playoff births unless they have a losing record, in which case they get everything but the playoff birth.
Unless they happen to make it as a wild card themselves. But I don't see.
Has there ever been a wild card with a losing record? I don't think there ever has. There have been division winners with 500 records.
No, division winners got it, but wild cards usually have better records. Yeah, the wild cards pretty much always have to have winning records.
Yeah. So yeah, I would be in favor of a division winner giving up their playoff spot to somebody with a better record.
I would too, but like you said, you still get the title, you still get the accolades, yeah you win your division, but playoffs, no, you're not one of the upper teams. We're sorry. You're not going to be part of them.
There are some people who are advocating for at the end of the regular season, you just take the top 14 teams.
And you don't worry about NFC or AFC, it's just the top 14 teams. And then you see the playoff bracket.
I like that, yeah. Basketball does that. Yeah, basketball has done very well doing that. College basketball too.
The NBA is much better in my opinion when they started doing that, just taking the top teams. We don't care where you're from or what position you're at in your division.
What matters is wins and losses. And then some of them go by points. True, true.
But I think as long as there is value in the AFC-NFC rivalry, dating back to being separate leagues and now in the same league, as long as that rivalry has got market value, they're not going to change.
No, it's not going to change. And they love the underdog, and let me case in point, the New York Giants that beat the Patriots.
Yes. That's one of the reasons that Eli Manning got into the Hall of Fame, is because he beat the Patriots. Not that he won the Super Bowl, it's because he beat the Patriots.
What he did was he didn't make any mistakes. He didn't win it with his arm. The defense team, Spagnolo, won that. Like he probably won the Super Bowl last year.
But the NFL Hall of Fame is going the way of every other Hall of Fame, and it's not about achievement anymore. It's about popularity and will you draw visitors.
Yeah, it's kind of like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Half of them aren't rock and roll, but they draw people.
And that's all they care about. Yeah, that's all they care about.
They should just call it the Music Hall of Fame and be honest about that. Yeah, they should. I agree.
All right, what two point conversions? Okay, should two point conversions be raised to three points to allow more teams to possibly tie or win?
Or should there be a possible three point conversion, but from like maybe the 15 yard line or 20 yard line?
So, okay, let me explain this a little bit better. Yeah. Okay, you're nine points down. Yeah.
You can get eight of them by doing it the traditional way, or you can go to this other way at the 20 yard line. You can get those three points.
I love that myself. I think that would be so good.
The UFL did something that the UFL doesn't kick extra points. No, I know. And that's kind of where I got the idea from a little bit of it. Yeah.
Yeah, you there's there's a you can go for one from the two yard line. You can go for two from the five yard line or you can go for three from the 10 yard line.
Yeah, I love that. I think that. Yeah.
An alternate that I've been thinking about is leave the one point kick and the two point conversion, but make every field goal over 50 yards a four pointer instead of three.
Yeah, yeah, that would work. I mean, if your two score is down and you need that four point field goal, you get down to, you know, the what the 35 yard line.
That's going to be a 52 yard field goal. Here's your four points. Just stop right then kick it, get the four points and you save time. Yeah, that would really open up a lot more things for strategy.
But I like your idea, too, is the farther away you go for it, the more points. Either way it could be done. I like both of them. Yeah.
So the reason I like the 15 or 20 yard line is because that makes it really interesting. It really opens up the playbook. Yeah.
Yeah, they have a better the sound stupid, but people in no football know seizure and make it from the 20 yard line and it is the five.
Yeah, you're down to the five and defense plays man because the back line of the end zone is like the fifth defender rack there. Yeah.
So you can play man all day in the in the, you know, right down there in the gala. That's how come you can get down there, but it's really hard. Much harder to get in. Yeah.
So there was a team in this. I'm sorry, a league in the 70s that just eliminated the extra point altogether. You score touchdown. It was seven points and you move on.
There's no kick. There's no nothing. That was an interesting way to that kind of sped up. I still like it.
I still like it whenever you miss an extra point and then someone wins by one point. Yeah. You know, I mean, there's still something about that because then the kickers even more of a bozo.
And then at the end, that's when they show close up of their face. Yeah. I think they need to change the onside kick rule because what we got now isn't working. No, it's onside kicks just aren't working at all. Yeah.
One suggestion I've heard is after you score, you can either kick off as normal or you can take the ball on your own 20 yard line and it's fourth and 25. I like that a lot.
So you've got to get at least 25 yards or turn the ball over on down. That would work. That would work. Yeah. Well, that deep in your own end zone.
That would make you think about it. But at least now you've got a chance to actually run a play. And if you're a great offensive team, you'll get it. Yeah. Way more often than you would some weird ass onside kick.
It also eliminates fluke wins. Uh huh. Yeah. So I like that fourth and 25 from your own 20. That's my favorite right there. It's like, sure. Here we are. Here's the 25 yard line. Have at it. Yep.
All right. What team has the dumbest jerseys and helmets? Oh, well, I'm going to go with their regular jerseys and helmets because some of those alternate ones are shit. Yeah. Yeah.
They know they're shit. Green Bay, Chicago and Denver and Pittsburgh have some of the ugliest, shittiest alternate uniforms. They're just revolting.
But as far as current ones, the jets have a horrible uniform. The jets I don't like. I think the Eagles, the colors are ugly. Yeah. They need to change the colors on there because they're just awful.
I can't, I just can't look at those Eagle colors for more than about 10 minutes without feeling nauseated. Carolinas powder blue doesn't work because that does not look tough.
And Tennessee, it's all baby colors. Yeah, it's all baby colors. Their logo is awesome. Yeah. But the uniform colors need to be something a little bolder.
Yeah. And I hate any team where their jersey blends into the field when it's rainy or snowing. I do too. Yep.
Yeah, I would say that things we just mentioned on the jersey and pants. But as far as the helmet, think about this. I don't like Washington's helmet.
No, Washington's helmet is boring. Yeah. Cleveland's helmet is boring. Cleveland's helmet sucks. That might be the worst. It's just color.
But please God, Cleveland, don't put that dumb ass little pixie on the side of your helmet. No, no. You've seen that that they occasionally put it at the half. I guess that's supposed to be a brownie.
Which is another little mythical creature. I thought they had to play at a college game when I first saw it. I'm like, oh, I wonder what college is around there. What happened to the regular field?
That's them. It looks like one of Santa Elves got some crack and found a football. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of what that looks like.
Jacksonville's helmets are pretty mediocre. They could definitely be better.
Yeah, that's about it, I think.
Okay. All right. This is a second to last. Then the last is just a real quick one. Okay. Do you ever watch the Manning cast on Monday Night Football? I don't. No.
My DVR recorded it for some reason the other day, but then my DVR does that. It'll record things that I don't want just to get me to watch them.
So they pay extra to download on your DVR.
Which is irritating because the more full my DVR gets, the worse it functions. So I have to go through and erase all the crap that they've intentionally put on my DVR because they're trying to promote the show.
And that pisses me off to no end, but there's nothing we can do about it. They just do it.
Yeah. I don't own the DVR. Dish Network owns that DVR. So they do whatever the hell they want with it, don't they?
And they do. All right. And finally, this is a real easy answer and we can go on. Okay. For real, why did 50 million people watch the Tyson-Paul fight? Free.
Free.
Free. Other than that, I don't think it would have been that big of a buzz. You can always appeal to large groups of people by convincing them they're getting away with something.
Yeah. You're getting over on us. Oh, look, you're getting something you didn't earn or deserve or pay for. Look how you're taking advantage of us. And people will flock to that, even if it's something they don't even want.
Look, this bag of dirty diapers, who normally was $100, but we're just giving them away. People will line up to go get them because they heard they were free.
You're right.
It's the same with the fight. God, there's a hundred different things that are like that. I think crappy, shitty movies will start doing that. It's like, hey, free to come in as long as you buy stuff at the concession stand and see all the previews.
Yeah. And then you see all the product placement in the movie. Why do they even buy the charge you the admission? If they just made the movie free, they wouldn't have to worry about it so much.
And then they could do something like everybody that enters has to buy a popcorn and a drink.
Yeah, that could be it. You know, there's places where I say, you know, you get free admission if you bring canned goods for the food pantry. Do that in movie theater. You get to come in if you spend at least $10 at the concession stand, then you don't have to buy a ticket.
Yeah, they would get much more business. I think they would. I think the theaters would fill right up.
I would agree. All right. Well, is that the end of this one? Maybe?
I wanted to mention. Oh, OK. Remember the other day we were driving home and we went by the former Sprint Center and we saw those jelly roll trucks? Yeah. Yeah.
For that musician, Jelly Roll. We're driving by and we saw like six semis parked out front with the big Jelly Roll banner glued to the side.
I mean, what in the world does he have that requires six semis? Yeah, that was kind of a gee whiz moment.
And then we then we kept driving forward and looked around the corner and there were a dozen more. A dozen more down the road.
Yeah. He's got nearly 20 semis. And I started thinking, what the hell does he put in all those? How can he fit all that in there? And then I realized they're fake.
They're fake. Just just like those bands in the 80s that had that wall of amplifiers on stage. They were all fake.
They were all fake. They're empty boxes. There's one real one. But all the rest were there to make you go.
Wow. Yeah. The famous ones were Eddie Van Halen is fucking playing in that pose. Nope. Those are all just just just just for your eyes.
But yeah, I mean, Jelly Roll comes to KC and say he's got like four or five trucks that he needs.
So then he contacts a local trucking company and says, you know, we want to rent a dozen trucks for the day and just park them down at the Sprint Center.
And we're going to put our banner on the side. What a brilliant concept. No kidding.
You drive by like we do. And if someone's in the Jelly Roll, they're like, my God, look at that.
And it sets you up on your way in. You see all those trucks. You think, wow, this is going to be a great show.
And now you've got something invested in it being a good show. So you're looking for it to be a great show.
You're already in that mindset. And all they had to do is rent 20 trucks.
Yeah. When Monster Truck, when they come in, they only have five trucks.
And you're like, what in the hell can Jelly Roll do that? Yeah. Yeah.
And then, you know, the next day when he's off to Oklahoma City or whatever, he peels all those banners off the rented trucks.
And he rents some more down in Oklahoma City because those trucks don't even drive place to place.
They're just rented in the city where he is. And it's not just Jelly Roll. It's everybody. Everybody does.
Yeah. It's give the audience a gee whiz moment before they see the show.
And on their way out, they look at all those trucks again and go, wow, I sure got my money's worth.
Speaking of money's worth, Jelly Roll needs to get his money back from his tattoo artists.
Plain and simple. Anyhow, go ahead.
You know, I'm sure Jelly Roll is OK. I'm not really a fan of his music.
But what really bugs me the most... He has talent. Yeah, he does.
But what bugs me the most about him is that he stole someone else's name. Yeah.
A hundred years ago, there was a jazz and ragtime pianist and composer named Jelly Roll Morton. Yep.
And he was huge and he was famous and he played a lot and he sold a lot of songs.
And what's this guy do? He comes along and steals his name. That's bullshit. It is bullshit.
Come up with your own damn name. Yeah. You know, do I get to go on tour next week being Ozzy Osbourne?
No, that's somebody else's name. I don't get to steal it.
I mean, Jelly Roll, he could just go as fat ass. Yeah.
Or, you know, I deal with my emotional issues by overeating and getting tatted up.
That could be his name.
And, you know, there's lots of Jelly Roll fans and if you like him, great.
But for me, he stole someone else's name so I don't have any time for him.
He's got my cup of tea so I can't even comment on it because I have nothing. Yeah. Nothing.
Before my father died, he was really getting into the jazz and ragtime
and the early kind of blues and boogie woogie music from the 1920s and stuff.
And I remember seeing tons of manuscripts from Jelly Roll Morton.
So when this Jelly Roll guy showed up, I was like, wait a minute.
Well, I didn't even realize that. So, I mean, you know, man, that's cool.
And I think that's probably what he was counting on is like, eh, nobody's going to remember Jelly Roll Morton.
No, they didn't. You ever hear anything about it? No. Yeah. There you go.
But it makes a difference to me and I'm sure Jelly Roll is not going to miss the money I would have spent on him.
I mean, he doesn't care about me, but that's okay. You're not. He's demographic.
I'm just making a choice for me. I'm not telling anyone else what to do.
I'm just making the choice for me. I don't like it and I'm not giving him any money.
Yeah. No. I can't argue that.
Do you want to talk about anything else or do we want to go into the next show?
Just the one last thing is that I've been seeing ads lately for Robin Hood gold.
Have you seen those with the guy? A guy is on a yacht with a bunch of rich people.
And he's talking about how all these rich people invest in gold.
And now you can too as a little person. I have not.
Yeah. It's some old grizzled looking guy with a slight British accent.
And he looks like he might have been a movie star at one point. And it's a black and white ad.
And he's telling people that one of the ads is saying all these richy riches,
if they knew that you could buy gold just like them, oh, their world would just crumble.
They would know how to handle it. So it's trying to give the impression that if you buy gold,
you're herding the rich people. Yeah.
And I've seen some other places that are advertising, oh, buy gold, buy gold.
And gold is one of those things that only has value as long as people think it does.
If you stockpile gold and times get tough, the only thing you can do with that gold
is sell it to somebody else who's willing to buy it.
And guess what? They're buying food. They're not buying gold.
No. Everybody's going to have gold to sell. And nobody wants to buy it because you can't eat the damn thing.
You can't pay your utility bill with it. No.
So I think it's turning into one of those kind of sucker things.
Plus the fact that if you get this chunk of gold that you spent a bunch of money on,
you're taking somebody's word for it that it really is gold and it really is the purity they say.
Well, that's a great point. You brought that up the other day. Yeah.
What are you supposed to do? They don't have a kit that tells you the purity of it?
No. And if you buy the kit from them, they're going to sell you one that will give you the result that they want you to have.
Yeah. And gold is so soft and flexible. If that gold, whatever you buy, like a bar or something, it's not flexible.
It doesn't have that high of a gold content.
There have been tons of people throughout history who thought they were buying gold, but they were buying yellow colored lead.
Yes. Because it's about as heavy and about as soft and most people can't tell the difference.
And you're going to spend $3,000, $4,000 buying some gold bars.
And if you try to sell them, it's like melt this down and make a bullet out of it. That's all it's worth.
Yeah. And how about fool's gold? Fool's gold looks just like it.
It takes someone that really knows what they're doing to distinguish it.
And then look at the diamond industry. It's basically just horrible now because they make fake diamonds in labs and they have no impurities.
And the real diamonds actually are not rare in the least little bit.
The only reason that they're so expensive is because the diamond council or whoever it is,
strictly controls the number of diamonds that reach the market each year to keep the prices high.
And then when you buy it, they'll tell you all the consistency and the cut.
But when you sell it, that's not a very good cut. Look, that's dull right there. Oh, look, that's kind of letting...
And that's why diamonds are worth about 10% when you're trying to resell them.
It's because you bought them for way too much. That 10% you get when you resell them, that's about how much they were really worth to begin with.
Yeah. But they came out there and had a guy that knew what he was talking about and had that little telescope deal on his eye.
And oh yeah, oh yeah, this is a real deal. Then you buy it and then you take it back. It's like, oh man, now they...
Look, there's a lot of flaws in this. Look at it. It's not shiny, whatever.
Think of all those people who are buying expensive shiny rocks to give to someone simply because they've been told that that's what you do.
Exactly. That's the only reason people do it is because they've been told that's what you do.
I know people who just got their wedding ring tattooed. That was it. Yeah.
So, I mean, that's okay, but I mean, what if you get a divorce?
My wedding ring isn't gold. It's tungsten carbide, which was, you know, it's a big ass ring and it cost me about 60 bucks.
And it's virtually indestructible. That's all I care about. Mine's tungsten also, but I lost so much weight it doesn't fit my fingernails.
So, can't wear it. I'm sure a lot of people probably are like, what's going on, Mark? I don't wear this wedding ring anymore.
Do you have some issues? My father-in-law was like that. He didn't wear a wedding ring because his fingers got arthritic and swelled up.
And he just he wouldn't be able to get one on and off. So he just quit wearing one.
In that instance, I imagine getting a tattooed ring would be awesome. Yeah. Okay. You know what? I'm not going that far.
Yeah. I'm not real keen on tattooing anyway. Everything's working with it, just being like it is.
Later on, I'll get it refitted or something, whatever, and then I'll game weight.
So it's been all ahead. Hey, that's what I get. I get a fat ring and a skinny ring.
Good idea. A ring for every mood. That's right. And every weight.
Yes. All righty. Let's cut this bitch off. We're going to go into the prediction.
Do you ever wonder what these two dullards look like? Yeah, me neither.
Didn't you really sit there and listen to all that garbage that was being... Do you actually believe one inch of it?
I didn't think so. Hang on. Game over.
