Recorded live from the historic River Market area in downtown Kansas City proper

Harambe used to call into our original show, Two Dipches and a Cheap Radio Shack
Candy Recorder. Harambe stopped calling into our original show, Two Dipches and a
Cheap Radio Shack Candy Recorder. Why did Harambe stop calling into our original
show, Two Dipches 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. What the hell do they call themselves again? What was that? Sports
Bastards? What a stupid fucking name. Who the hell would name their show the
Sports Bastards? Gosh, man, I can't believe I'm here doing this. We are the
Sports Bastards. How are you fuckers doing? I know you can't answer me, so
that's okay. Do you want to answer for him? We can only hope.
Okay, so let's see. There's a whole bunch of stuff going on in the NFL to talk
about. Do you want to go into her picks and then we can go into
some of the other stuff going on? Yeah, I think we should go ahead and do the picks.
Okay, sounds good. I have no idea how we did because I completely forgot
everything that I picked. Well, we both did pretty well. Good. And we didn't miss
the same game. You know, anytime I got one wrong, you didn't and vice versa. So
we never got, we never both got the same one wrong, which is odd. That's perfect.
It is. Yeah, it never happens like that. Yeah. Cool. First up, we had the Chicago
Bears after the Detroit Lions and the Lions won 23-20. It was not the game. We
both had more of a blowout. Yes, that was not the game we envisioned. No, but it
still caught Matt Eberfluss' job. Yes, it did, didn't it? Yeah, Chicago Bears.
The reason is they had every chance to win that game and he blew it. Yeah, it
sounds like it. Yeah, he did. I watched that game and I'm like, what are you
doing? Yeah. The definition of bad coaching, isn't it? It is. And another
thing is it shows you that the Detroit Lions are invincible. Yeah. Everyone's
like touting them as the new fucking greatest thing ever. Oh my gosh, no one's
beating them, not even the Chiefs, not even the Bills. They're too tough. Then
they almost lose to the Bears. Yeah. Always happens like that. Everybody
anoints them king, fucking rubs them, fucking gives them a belly rub and then
bam. So happens all the time and it's the kiss of death when everybody jumps on
your tip. It's the kiss of death. Definitely. Yeah, and that's why the Chiefs have been
one of the reasons they've been so successful. They've been motherfucked so
many times by so many people. It fuels them. Yeah, I'm sure it's on their
bulletin boards everywhere all over the locker room. So and so said
this, so and so said this, so and so said this and they're like, okay, let them say
it. Yeah, yeah. To be honest, we are looking fairly floppy and beatable
lately, aren't we? We are. I'm not. They were not happy with that game either.
Like we were not. Yeah. You and I were very disappointed because we were
messaging each other like what the fuck, you know. And again, I can't say it was
luck the way they won. You put pressure on a team and they make mistakes. Yeah.
And that's what they do. And you can't say that they're not winning legitimately.
They are winning legitimately. And Tom Brady backed it up. He said, man, he goes,
this team finds a way to win, which is the mark of a great team. Yeah, and you
gotta also look at the fact that the Raiders only scored 17 and the week
before the Broncos only scored 14. As bad as the defense looks sometimes, they're
getting it done. They are getting it done. And another thing is
Hollywood Brown is not that far from coming back. And Hopkins is
really getting acclimated into the system. Worthy is coming up very well.
Let's see, we have Juju and we have Gray. Noah Gray is looking fantastic. And then
we have a good old Steddy Eddie, Travis Kelsey. I mean, it's and then we have two
really good running backs. And we have a great fullback. Yeah. So, I mean,
this thing, when it takes off, they're gonna be like, oh shit. But when it
takes off, I mean, it's gonna go. This offense is just like it's primed to just
go out there and just start stomping mud holes in people's fucking defenses.
Yeah, maybe maybe they can get that offensive line fixed and give my home
to just like one or two more seconds. And that's that often will open up.
Humphries, the new guy. Yeah, he might. He might make it. Okay, he was a pro
bowler and he had knee issues and he had a knee operation. If he comes back 90%
of what he was. You know, yeah, yeah. If he comes back 90% of what he was,
we're 100% better on on offense. Yeah. So, but I love what I'm home. Oh, go
ahead. What I was gonna say didn't take us long to get sidetracked into the
chief. No, it didn't because they have so many holes. But it looks like I mean,
my home said this the other day and I loved it. He said I never had a chief's
team that I played on and I did not believe we could win. We couldn't win
the Super Bowl. Right. That is the right thing. It's the opposite of what Joe
Burrow saying.
But we'll get into that a little bit later. And I'm saying one of the huge
issues they have there is Joe Burrow. Even though he's throwing all this stuff
and everything. He throws people under the bus. People don't play as hard for
people like that. They remember that. And then they bail for other teams because
they're like, I'm not playing with that guy. He motherfucked me. I was having a
tough time. You know, who knows, man? Maybe they had an injury. I don't know.
Marital problems. You don't know. And then you get on there and throw people
under the bus completely wrong. You never hear my homes doing that. My homes
says we all need to play better.
Yeah, yeah. It's a much better culture here in KC than in a number of other
cities. That's another thing. Tom Brady went into his culture and all of that.
And it was just, uh, it was a great interview, but he's stuck with his guns.
People started shitting on the chiefs and he was like, Uh, no, he was like,
No, no. And, um, coincidentally, he lost a throwing contest to a high schooler,
a senior.
Wow. Yeah, I'll pull that story up here in a little bit. I just saw it today,
so I didn't have time to, uh, to look at it very much. But his interesting
article and it's on a reputable news source. So he lost a passing contest
with this. I don't know what are the top senior, uh, um, quarterbacks in the
high school realm. I was like, wow, okay. Well, I don't think he's lost that
much. I just think that this guy coming up is that good. And that's why they
did that little whatever, you know? Yeah. So, uh, and anyhow, you know, in
like, I'm like working on no time because I just got back literally not
too long ago from the wasp show in, uh, in Wichita. And if you don't know who
wasp is, put a period after w put a period after a put a period after s and
a period after p and then type it in and see that is what wasp is. It's not
the flying creature. It's a band and a notorious band. So anyhow, all right. Um,
so we both got it right. We didn't envision it. So go ahead because, um,
you want to just go ahead and talk about the chief game since we already
started. Yeah, we might as well. You're right. Okay. So it was Las Vegas at
Kansas City. Uh huh. Uh, 1917 was the final score. We both picked the Raiders
score perfectly. We both picked 17, but you thought the chiefs and scored 35
points. I thought they scored 31 points. Yeah.
Isn't that funny? It is.
It was anything but that.
Yeah.
And you know, I would really like to hope that one name Morris is not on the
roster this next year. If he is, we're seriously, we seriously have some
issues.
Yeah. Yeah. I already have issues that these two tackles have lasted as
long as they could. They have and that there was apparently nothing that they
could do to get another tackle in there. Yeah. I think it's more like nothing
they were willing to do. I agree. Well, I think one thing is his money.
Um, they didn't have enough money for more of an offensive line is one of
the brother salary cap. I mean, it's, it's a pain in the ass, but it's the
reasons that chief the chiefs are able to obtain him a homes and keep him.
If this was baseball, my homes would have went to fucking L. A. Or New
York.
You know, because we would not be able to compete with them. But because
it's like this and we had to get rid of a luxurious need because of the
rules, that's what makes football a much better sport part of it than
baseball.
Yeah. So always try to remember that it's boring when the same team keep
winning every every feed. Well, I mean, I kind of think like a lot of the
players are fucking dickheads.
Unappreciative assholes in my opinion. And the reason is, is because people
want to see them and they don't care.
They don't care. They're they're snobbish assholes. In my opinion, not
all of them, but a good percentage of touting the union. I'm a union man. It's
like, fuck you, man. No, no, no, no, no. You should be a fans man, not a fucking
union man. Fuck that union and fuck you. Anyone that says that I don't like him
anymore and I don't follow him. And that's why I have a problem with
baseball still to this day.
Yeah. So anyhow, that's another story because I got a baseball story I want in
the in the bullet points. That's interesting. Okay. Yeah. Anyhow, go
ahead. All right. Next game, the Giants at Dallas and Dallas 127 20. And we
both got that right. It's that Dallas is first home victory or their second. I
think it's their second. I think they got one last week. Yeah. So now they
have one more than Jake Paul. More win. Mike McCarty didn't have all his bags
packed quite yet. Yeah, he put his underwear back. Just considering it's
the Giants and how bad the Giants are. And they're a division rival and you're
playing at home. They really had to win that game. Yes. If they had lost to the
Giants at home, that would have been really, really crisis time for the
Cowboys. Oh, yeah. And Mike McCarthy is a big fat bitch. That's my new thing.
Listen, I'm overweight, man. It's a fucking joke. Call me a big fat bitch. I
don't care. It's a joke. It's tongue in cheek. Anyhow, I bet he wears whitey
tighty. Every time you say that, I think of that prime of song. When on has got
a big brown beaver. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What a weird song
that was. Everyone thought is about Winona Ryder, I believe. Yeah, but it
wasn't. They're like, No, it has nothing to do with her. How did this get out?
There's more people than just her named Winona. You know, the American public
are stupid. Come on. I mean, you know, a good deal of them. Yeah.
Well, when the music creeps show up, I've got something to talk about
brightness. Oh, cool. I haven't heard about them in long, long time. Yeah.
But it'll keep till the next music creeps. Okay, that sounds good. All
right. Next game up. We have Miami at Green Bay and Green Bay collaborative
30 to 17.
Mm hmm. Um, neither one of us really got that right. We both thought it'd be
closer game that Miami really didn't seem to have much going on. And Green
Bay is kind of hanging on to the possibility of a wild card, aren't they?
Yes, they are. I think they're actually viewing the number one seed because I
think they do play head to head with Detroit, don't they? Yeah, it's coming up
this week or next week. Yeah, yeah, there's still time that
Detroit loses the rest and Green Bay wins the rest that they could take the
division. But
let's see, that division that division is worse than the West over here, the
Chiefs Division. Yeah, you got Minnesota at nine and two Detroit at 10 and one
and Green Bay at eight and three. So they're all within a game of, you know,
one one after the other. Yeah. And like, Minnesota is capable of losing. Yeah.
Yeah. Um, I go back to Sam Darnold. Okay. Anything you say about Minnesota? My
answer is Sam Darnold.
So, um, but I think the Green Bay thinks that they can get it. And I think that
they're gonna punch Detroit right in the mountain. I think they're gonna win
upright. I think they're gonna win that game. I think you're gonna make a
statement game like, No, we are the new contenders and watch this.
So anyhow, I think that they believe they could still get the division. It's
a long shot. But if they don't, I don't think they necessarily care if they go
out on the road or not. I think that they they have trust in their system
even more than Jordan Love.
Mm hmm. I mean, they like Jordan Love, but I don't think that they think he's
the guy that puts him on the back and goes, Watch this. He's not. He's not an
Allen or my homes or nothing like that. He's a really good system quarterback
right now, and he'll win you some games. But he's I mean, he's almost like a
Kirk cousin, only better. Yeah, that's true. I want to apologize for that
long pause. I threw you there. I was in the middle of the drink of coffee. So
I figured that that's what it sounded like.
I'm caffeinating myself. Oh, yeah. Um, you know, Green Bay does enjoy the
home field advantage when the weather gets nasty, but they can win without
that. So as you said, I don't think going on the road scares them all that
much. No, they are a tough nose team and they know it. Yeah. And that's a cool
thing. No one is half the battle. Yeah. So, yeah, I look for them when they
they're one of my dark horses that could actually make the Super Bowl.
Yeah. Yeah. They've got a shot still. I could I could see that just so open.
Yeah. And it's gonna it's gonna depend on these face offs with these teams
ahead of them. Yeah. The NFL is so smart to back load the schedule with all
these division game. Yeah, because they know. Okay, the Chiefs only have one
win, but they have one fuck of a schedule. Yeah. I mean, they're in the
playoffs. Yeah, playoffs. But but they want the number one seed. But if not,
they at least want one home game. Yeah, I think they'll get it. But it's not
gonna be easy.
Yeah, I'm not really sure who's gonna take the home the number one seed away
from them. It might be Pittsburgh. It, uh, hell, it might even be, uh, what's
the Chargers record? Yeah, it might be the Chargers. Yeah, it could be. It's a
possibility. Well, the number one seed, I think that Kansas City can help
itself when they play them head to head at Arrowhead. Yeah, if they win that
game, then they're definitely gonna get ahead of Pittsburgh. Probably. Yeah, the
bills on the ones on the one that's wondering right there. The bills might
get the number one seed because their schedule is easy. But I've seen weirder
things happen. Yeah, yeah, I feel silly for forgetting about the Bears. But
I mean, the bills, but yeah, they're definitely the prime competition right
now for the number one seat. Yeah, they are. Um, so I had to step out for a
minute. So where were we?
Oh, we were just getting ready to talk about Houston at Jacksonville, which
is a very significant event happened during the game. Yes, and he is. He has
been suspended for the League three games. That's what I have is the free
game suspension. I think that's not 100% official yet. It could still change.
Yes, I think you should be ejected the rest of the year and questionable next
year. And like you said, Topher, you tell me you tell everybody what you
suggested because I'm 100% behind this.
Um, yeah, I think Houston should just have to play with only 10 men on the
field instead of 11. Yes. And also the other thing. Do you remember? Um, the
assault charge. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's what I brought. Yeah. Um, I would
seriously like to see where it says in the collective bargaining agreement
that players have to just let other players commit criminal assault on them
and not press charges. Yeah, because Trevor Lawrence, I would call up the
police and file charges against that guy, have him arrested for criminal
behavior. Yes, criminal assault. It was a football game. It doesn't matter if
they signed contracts. He still has civil rights. I agree. Civil rights. And
that guy went up with the intention of hurting him. And that's illegal. He
knocked him out of the game. He's gonna be out at least two games. And, uh, and
another thing is this when you start getting concussions, you start compiling
them is a problem. Yeah. And then once you start compiling them, you have to
look at stopping the game at some point because you're gonna fucking get CTE
mess your mind up. Parkinson's, you know, all this stuff is related to head
injuries. Not all of it, but there's types of Parkinson's I do believe that
are related to head injuries and definitely CTE. Yeah. So this guy
potentially dementia as well. Yes, dementia is another one. So he
potentially could have ruined Trevor Lawrence's career. If that was
Trevor's first concussion ever, then he'll probably be okay. But if he's had
one before, then this one probably took a year or two off of his career. Yes.
And I would sue him directly if I was Trevor Lawrence. I would say this guy
Yeah. You know, the interesting thing, the guy, the linebacker Al Shire put
out a semi apology on social media. Go ahead. And he was saying how, you know,
I, I, I try to go out and play as hard as I can and hit as hard as I can, but
I always pray the other guy gets up. I don't really want to hurt anybody. And
y'all I've got love in my heart, blah, blah, blah. And I thought, okay, explain
the footage I saw of him being ejected from the game. He's got his helmet off
and he's right up against the stands and he's screaming and yelling at the
Jacksonville fans with spit flying out of his mouth. Yeah. That guy doesn't
have love in his heart. No, that guy's screaming mad and taunting the fans and
I'm sure yelling all. Yeah. That guy is a creep and a thug. Yes. And what he
prints on social media that somebody wrote for him, the guy's a creep. I agree.
He has anger issues that do not belong in the NFL.
Yeah. So it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting to see how this
parlay is out. I think the rest of the year and next year they ought to have a
vote. And also, like we said, I would love to see criminal assault charges on
Al Shere, Shereer or whatever his name is, the perpetrator. And also, I would
like to see a lawsuit over it too. Yeah. And you know, all of this can happen
outside the NFL jurisdiction, which would really, the NFL really hates that
because they want to control everything. I know. I would love to see the player
just take this directly to the criminal courts where the NFL has limited influence.
Whenever the laws change, there's always a benchmark ruling. There's always a
benchmark case, case law that they all point to. This could be the case law
that changes.
Yeah. Because you know, if if you can do whatever on the field and all you get
is an ejection and a fine and suspension, then sure, let's send our players out
there with tire irons and baseball bats. Yeah, yeah. And a few careers and just
take the suspension and the ejection. So what? We'll be back in a few few weeks,
play them again and let's crack a few more heads and a few more careers. If
it's completely legal to do, let's do it. Have someone take the fines of
suspension. One of the bigger people on Jacksonville, maybe an offensive lineman
or something should have came up and grabbed his helmet and fucking snapped
his neck. So there you go, bitch. How are you doing there? Did it fucking hurt? Do
you think you might be permanently injured, bitch? Is that do you? Well,
okay, then. So anyhow, you know what? We could leave that alone. We spoke our
piece. It's bullshit, complete bullshit. There is no place. But anyhow, go ahead.
Let's see. He's certainly certain that this is going to follow that player the
rest of his career. And this was a career altering event for him. And it
should be. You'll never see him on the Chiefs, maybe the Raiders. Yeah, but
you'll never see him on the Chiefs. I guarantee that.
All right. And next game, we have Indianapolis at New England and Indianapolis
pulled out a one point win. You got it wrong. You've had in New England 24 17
and I had Indianapolis 20 to nothing. I was just showing some disrespect for New
England. But it was it was a close game. One point. Yeah. Yep. Um, that game was,
I mean, it was what it was. I mean, it's a battle of the in ebbs. I mean, Indy is
slightly better than them. But I anytime Indy loses, I don't go what? Yeah, like,
okay. Um, to me, those are the games that are like there that you don't ever see
national. Yeah, that's those two teams about the best they can hope for the
rest of the season is to get in somebody's way. Yes. Yeah. Knock off the
Chiefs or something. And then they go get their great draft pick and hope they
picked right, which they haven't been. So yeah, but they could. They could be a
team that keeps somebody out of the playoffs just because playoffs. Just
because they're, you know, going out there and playing and they don't really
care all that much. Well, they're they're so easy to be a trap game to
about anybody. Yeah, anybody looking at the playoffs. That's your trap game
right there. You're looking ahead. Let's say it's Kansas City. Get ready to play
them and they're looking ahead to Pittsburgh or they're looking ahead to
the Chargers or the Broncos. You know, and it's like, Oh, Indy, okay, let's
let's go slap them around and then we're gonna or the Patriots. Let's go slap
the Patriots. Let's go slap them around and then get to the real team. It's so
easy to do and it happens all the time and great teams lose to nothing teams
all the time because of that. So
anyhow, okay, you got that right. I got it wrong. So all right. Next up we have
the Chargers at Atlanta. Yeah, close game 17 13. You pick 20 27. I picked
27 13. So you're closer pretty close on the point margin. Yeah, the margin.
But I thought it was going to be a more decisive win by the Chargers. But I
know they were kind of like the chiefs. They played just barely good enough to
win, didn't they? That's Jim Harbaugh's ammo. The last this year is he doesn't
have a complete team, so he keeps him close. He doesn't give up any big plays
and he keeps him low. He makes him play low ball, which they're capable playing
very well and he waits for the other team to hang themselves. Make a mistake.
It works for a while. It does. I mean, you're not going to get to the Super
Bowl doing that, but you can get in a lot of ways.
Yeah, yeah. Good way to get the team some experience winning some experience
being in the playoff. Yeah. And then, meanwhile, you you search for the
components to make it that team that you want it to be. Yeah, yeah, I can see
that. It's a valid tool for Vinny building a winning attitude. It's a
franchise. Yeah, that's what they all do is they're like, Look, you know, we'd
like a better draft pick, but we got to teach this new quarterback how to win.
We got to let him have a taste of it. Let him go, Man, I want that. I want
that again.
Yeah.
So
all right, next game up. We have Seattle at the New York Jets.
Yep. Pick 21 Seattle. I had quite a blowout. You're pretty close to 24 14
that I had 35 12. That game was questionable for a long time there. It
was what I was looking at going. Hmm.
Um, but, um, you notice how Aaron Rodgers shut the hell up and is not saying
anything now. Yeah, he kind of learned his lesson, didn't they? Yes, he did.
I think you realize his things are not going his way and nobody gives a damn
if he's happy anymore. Nobody likes him. He he went out on that ledge too far
and people like you stay there. Yeah.
Um, I can't say I feel sorry for him. No,
no, he, uh, he enjoyed being Mr Mr Celebrity and Mr Weirdo and
um, I would not be surprised to see him retire and join Trump's
administration because he and Trump get along. It could happen. It could happen.
But, uh, Devante Adams, man, they're they're thinking about dumping him yet
this season. I know.
I know.
I don't see how they could do it. It passed the trade deadline. But that's
the one story I saw is like there's a way there's a way you can do it might be
gone before the end of the season. The problem is, is they got to do it in
in concert really well, like really tight. They got to like put them on the
practice squad, I think. And then the other teams got to pick him up real
quick and they got to have it. Isn't that how it works? Yeah, it's got a
clear waivers, clear waivers. That's it. Yeah.
Bunch of the teams in turn get a chance at claiming him. And a lot of them
and a lot of times they'll pass due to salary cap reasons. Yeah, like the
chiefs wouldn't get him. The chiefs wouldn't get him. They can't afford him.
Yeah. But I think Devante Adams is gonna land in Dallas. I think you're
right. That's a good place for him. Yeah. And I think Jerry Jones would love
to spend whatever it takes to get him there. Yeah. Yeah. Because he just
thinks it makes him look good. I think. Yeah, we landed Devante Adams. We're
kind of having a rough year. We had a lot of injuries. But man, we got
Devante Adams, sir. Everything's okay. Yeah, that type of thing.
Yeah, so anyhow, yeah. Yeah.
You know, I had good. They can lose every game from now on and it would
not bother me one bit. New York teams need to lose every game.
I think, yeah, I could handle that.
Me too. I know I could handle that, but that would make me very happy.
All right. Next game we have Tennessee at Washington. It was 42 to 19.
Washington. Yeah, you were pretty close. You were 30 to 14. I was 24 17.
Um, I can't remember was, I know Tennessee defensive back Julius Woods.
Uh, has been suspended for six games for performing and fencing drugs.
Yeah. I don't know if he was in the game or that was after that game.
I think, you know, hang on. I think it's before the game. Yeah, that's
what I'm thinking, too. So it was early. I could explain how that could
explain how Washington got 42 points. If, uh, if you're missing one of
your starting corners. Yeah, you know, and it just goes to show you
luxurious need as good as he is. Um, he needs that other guy like McDuffie
on the other side to remain. Yeah. And I don't get me wrong. I'd love to
have Snead back. I'd take them on our team anytime. But the thing is, is
if you have one side leaking like a sieve, you know, I mean, yeah, yeah.
They're, they're just going to go leave, uh, leave, uh, leave luxurious alone.
Get the get the backup kind of like people do the chiefs. Go get cook.
Go after him, outrun him, out juke him, you know, so it's part of the game
strategy. They find a weakness and they exploit it.
If it, uh, they didn't want to do it, they'd make a rule against it. So
exactly. Then it's part of the game. Yes, I agree.
All right. Next theme up. We have Pittsburgh at Cincinnati. This was quite
a wild offensive explosion. Yeah. 44 to 38. Uh, you, you actually picked
Cincinnati in this game. So that's, that's the second one you've gotten
wrong. I thought that Cincinnati is going to sack up and Hulk up for one
game and I thought this was it. Well, they almost did. Um, they did like I
thought they would. They kept coming back and kept punching them back.
But the problem is, is they just didn't get it done at the very end. And also
they have internal issues. I'm not sure are going to get solved. Yeah.
Yeah, I think Cincinnati's got, I mean, last season was kind of a bust because
the borough was injured and now this season does bust because they can't
win and borough hates everybody. Yeah. And I think that's the problem.
Everybody. Yeah. Big reset in the off season to figure out where they're
going from here. Well, the problem is, is he listed to the great quarterbacks
and they don't talk like burrow. Yeah, they don't go. Um, let's see, what did
he say? He said, um, well, the rest of the season, we're going to see who,
uh, who, um, gets it done and who doesn't. Yeah. And then saying, you know,
I played well and these two other guys played. Yeah. Yeah. Henderson,
um, chase and him and Higgins, no, Higgins, not Henderson, Higgins, chase
and him that we all played well. Yep. That is, I, I look, I had questions
about him when he got after my homes, pissed off because you took too little
money. It's none of your fucking business. Anybody else's bank account is
not your fucking business and not your right to talk about. And plus if he
wants more money, then burrow needs to be better. Yes. If burrow didn't like
that, he gets the money. He, he is responsible for him when he looks in
the mirror. My homes is responsible for him. It's not my homes is fault.
He's much more likable and gets all this, uh, money from advertising because
people are jumping over each other to get him. They're not doing that for
burrow. And there's a reason he doesn't have that. He wanted my homes to get
more. So burrow could get more. That's a tells me that burrow wants something
that he knows he's not entitled to and he hasn't earned bingo. He wants, yep.
He's trying to get more than he deserves and more than he's earned. Yes.
And ever since then, I never thought of him the same. I was like, you know,
that guy's kind of a piece of shit. Um, you want, let's say you got a neighbor.
Okay. And he found out your finances, right? And he went around telling
everybody, uh, fucking Topher over there made too much money, his job.
He fucked the whole thing up. How would you feel pretty violated? Yeah.
You'd be like, dude, that's none of your motherfucking business, dude.
And number two, you don't go around telling my business that you actually
really probably don't know anything about. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. I mean, and
my homes is classy. He didn't say anything, but you can tell he meets up
with, uh, Josh Allen, max Crosby, max Crosby, go get another one.
The homes, go get another one. Yep. Um, uh, he meets up with Alan.
They have a couple of laughs. All right. You got to say, man. And my home's like,
we'll see you here pretty soon. Meaning playoffs. Yeah. Playoffs. Thank you.
Burrow comes up there and just like, all right, well, good luck. The body
language are not even turned towards each other. You know, whenever someone
doesn't want to talk to you, they have their feet placed the other way. Yep.
That's what happens whenever he gets up to burrow. It's like, okay,
it would have been a whole lot of fun to have, you know, a likable quarterback
in Cincinnati that we could have as a rival. Yes. He's just a twerp and the
jerk and their team is a bunch of with frosted tips. It's like, they're no fun
anymore. No. And he's a, he's a little frosted tip fucking, uh, bitch.
I'm guessing that we don't have many downloads in the Cincinnati area.
Actually. Yeah. I kind of fucked that up. We had a bunch in the Columbus, Ohio
area. I kept pecking at Cincinnati and they started dwindling. Yeah. Yeah. And
then, uh, Maryann from, uh, North central Ohio. Oh, she was so pissed at me for
making fun of little Joey burrow. Yeah. Little Joey juice box. And, uh, oh, she
sent me fucking mean messages for a few weeks. And I probably just ended up
telling her, don't listen. I'm not changing. If you was this program, I'm
going to make more fun because you told me not to. So it's your fault, Maryann.
Every time I make fun of him, it's your fault. And, uh, you can't go complain to
the sponsors because we don't have any. Nope. And I even had like emails from,
uh, Columbus that, that were like, Maryann's an idiot. And anyhow, she quit
writing. I think she eventually did quit fucking, uh, listening, but anyhow, she
didn't understand that this is gold to us. Yeah. It's like, oh, you hate me. Oh,
get them right now. Get that email over here. You can't get it over here quick
enough. Yeah. He fell into detail exactly how and why you hate it. Yes. And like I
said, you determine the outcome of that whole thing. You know, you do like me and
you determine, I couldn't make that email sound completely stupid. There's
nothing that guy could say. I could say everything on here is misspelled. I
could say that, uh, um, he said something that he didn't. And what's he going to
do? Send me an email. You retract that. No, what's he going to do? So that's why
he, he, uh, hate mail or heat mail goes straight to the front. Yeah. And I, we
still say that too, right? If you hate us, please write us, make fun of us.
Please. We love it. Any. Yeah. Anyhow, a sidetracked again. Go ahead. Next game,
Arizona at Minnesota. Final score was 23, 22 in Minnesota. Uh, that's the third
game you got wrong, but that's the last one you got wrong. Well, good. I'm glad.
Yeah. I quit doing the big upsets. Finally.
So, uh, I didn't get a chance to see that game. So I really don't, don't know a
lot about it, but, uh, um, it seems like Minnesota should have been able to
handle Arizona a little better just from the score, but, um, Minnesota or, um,
Arizona, if they're a little bit more complete team, they would have manhandled
Minnesota.
In my opinion, uh, Minnesota has some holes. I think we're going to see coming
up in the playoffs. Wow. Yep. Yeah. That's been another whole thing is teams are
going to get exposed in the playoffs. Aren't they? Yes. Yep. Um, and I could be
wrong. I have to start saying post season so we don't have to imitate Jim
more so often. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Even we're getting tired of it. Yeah. Yeah.
Um, so yeah, that game was that game and Minnesota is good, but are, are they
going to be Superbowl contenders? I don't think so. Do you?
Not yet. Sam Darnold. Yeah. There you go. Case over. Done.
Yeah. Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold. Yeah. There you go.
Case over. Done. Yeah. Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold. We'll do Sam
Darnold eventually. Yep. It's like asking the sheep not to have wool.
Yeah, it's eventually going to happen.
All right. And we move on. The first of the three, excuse me, three o'clock
games is the Rams at New Orleans. It was 21-14 Rams over New Orleans.
You guessed 24-20. So you're pretty close. I said 16 to three, just to be a twerp.
I know you, you did that tongue in cheek too. I could see it. What the hell?
That was kind of, yeah, that was kind of a forgettable day game, except for a couple
of passes at a Derek Carter that were fucking perfect. Did you see them?
And you know, ironically, most of the things I've heard about the Rams and Saints game is that
it showed people that the Rams really aren't all that good, even though they won.
No, they're, yeah, I know. The Rams are, they, I guess, Matthew Stafford, I think,
is starting to get a little long in the tooth. Some of the people.
I really think that you've gotten the best out of them already, and now it's just kind of
downhill. He'd be a good backup. I think we picked him up, picked him as a backup in three years on
that previous. Yeah, we did. Yes. And I think that that's going to remain true. Another thing is,
you can't call the trade a disaster. They won the Super Bowl. Detroit has not won one yet.
Yeah. Anytime you win the Super Bowl through a trade, you've won. You won that trade. Absolutely.
It's all about this current season. Yeah. So they won it a few years ago.
So good for them. Maybe that's all they're going to win with this, but you can't call it a failure
because they won. They got the big prize. Yeah. And you know, there's a separate kind of respect
for teams that just like come out of nowhere and win a Super Bowl and then go away again.
There is. They have fun to have the dynasty, like the Niners and the Cowboys had a dynasty,
and the Chiefs are currently in one. But man, it's fun to have a team just come out of nowhere
and just one season kick ass, and then they just go away again. You're like, wow. Well,
I have some theories. I have some theories about their golden season anyhow. If they
would have faced Kansas City instead of Cincinnati, I think Kansas City would have beat them.
Yeah. They were lucky that Mo'Homes beat himself by throwing that interception,
trying to do everything himself. Yeah. Because if not, Kansas City would have been rolling in there
and they would have not done to Kansas City what they did to Cincinnati.
That's true. Yeah. There's, you know, some of the Super Bowls that we found, you know,
boring blowouts back in the 80s. It would have been so different if the other team had gotten
in instead. Yes. And it always happened like that because Buffalo kept getting in there and kept
getting their ass kicked. Let's see. Denver was one of them before Mike Shanahan. Yeah. Dan Reeves,
I think. Dan Reeves era. Yeah. They were a pat seat to the NFC. I mean, yeah, they come in,
the NFC would come in there, beat the shit out of them and leave. Yeah. I remember the Niners
beating them like 55 to 10 or something like that. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I mean, they completely
neutered Elway and destroyed their defense. The Orange Crush. They got to give credit to the NFL.
They figured out whatever it takes to make sure that the Super Bowls are pretty darn close every
year. And yeah, we had the first ever Super Bowl go into overtime. Yeah. Yeah. That was last. Well,
this year, actually, it was in February. Yeah. And that was never happened before. Yeah. That's when
the that's when the fucking driver screwed me and fell asleep. And I booked an earlier flight on the
cruise ship so I could watch the whole game. And I get the KCI with like 40 minutes to get home to
watch the first of the Super Bowl. And I spent all this money to switch flights. OK. And that
motherfucker fell asleep. And then he was driving 55 mile an hour in 70 zones. And I wanted to kill
the son of a bitch. Oh, I was so pissed. He's the first driver I've never tipped. Wow. Here's
looking at me funny. And I just looked him right now and said, bye. Fuck him. He's lucky I didn't
fucking go nuts on him. Yeah. I mean, I spent a couple hundred dollars switching that around so
I could see the whole Super Bowl and he falls asleep on me. What a jerk. Actually, that fucking
whole company, I should have called them up and just fucking raised hell and got my money back.
I should have done that. But I didn't. Oh, anyhow, I saved that guy's job for better or worse.
That is probably why I didn't do it. Although they did know he fell asleep because I called my go.
Where the fuck's my guy? Yeah. Well, he's supposed to be there. You don't see a sign with Wallace.
No, I don't. Don't you think I would have saw it? You know, there's like all these doors here that
go outside to that area. Nobody has my name on their fucking board. Yeah. Oh, well, hang on.
Let me get back to you. Yeah. He fell asleep. No, he called. Yeah. I'm sorry. I fell asleep.
What? Oh, anyhow, you know what? I'm getting pissed off again. Go ahead in the next game.
All right. Let's see. Tampa Bay at Carolina. Tampa won 26-23.
I don't know. Tampa Bay still isn't looking all that good.
It's weird that they got a playoff shot still. Playoffs. Yeah. Yeah. This is what I was telling
the people from Tampa Bay when they dropped by the program, right? Down at City Market. Yeah.
I said, no. I said, Atlanta, Kirk Cousins is going to be Kirk Cousins and you guys are going to get
it. And they looked at me funny and they're like, no, I think they're going to get it. They're not
that great a team, but they're a kind of team that could sneak up and beat somebody in the playoff.
Playoffs. Yeah. Here's the weird thing about the NFC South. There are currently no winning records
in the NFC South. It was like at a couple of years ago when they made the playoffs.
So you got Atlanta at six and six and you got Tampa Bay at six and six
and then you've got Carolina at three and nine and the other team. Damn it. Who was it?
Hang on. Let me try to find this. New Orleans. New Orleans. Thank you. Yeah. And they're four
and eight. Yeah. So you got two teams with 500 records and two teams are losing records
and that's your whole division. Yeah. Yeah. And it's going to stay like that too. The winner very
well could be a game under 500 when it's all said and done. Yeah. But at the same token, Tampa Bay
is a team that can surprise people. They can play that one game incredible and then look like crap.
And then look like crap. I mean, it's kind of like Cleveland with Jameis Winston.
He'll throw you five touchdowns that are beautiful and then he'll throw three
interceptions and lose the game. Yeah. Like he did this last game, he did that.
Yeah. Anyhow, go ahead. Sorry. Yeah. You know, Tampa can somehow manage to win the division
and they'll have a home game that first round. They can be really tough at home.
But I don't see them doing much after that if that. You see, if they win the division,
they get that one home game, even though the other teams probably like three games better than them.
Yeah. Yeah. But that's the problem is, is they are a team that can pull it off. They can't do
it all of the playoffs, but they can do it on a game. And I think, I mean, they did it before they
surprised people with this. Yeah. I mean, Baker Mayfield is also another one. If he gets on a
role, he can win a game for you. Yeah. Yeah. That's, you know, he's more of a streaky player now
than he has been. Yeah. And he's getting away with it, isn't he? He is. And this is what he needed to
do all along. Cleveland gave him a raw deal. He was hurt that whole year. I've had shoulder injury.
I've had his shoulder surgeries. They suck. Yeah. And he had that injury that I couldn't stand to
have that made me about cry every fucking day and was still throwing and getting hit. And I'm like,
what the hell is wrong with Cleveland? Yeah. I'm like, those guys are idiots. I mean, that
shoulder injury was the same one that I had, and it is horrible pain. And I'm not like a, I handle
pain pretty well. I'm not like a guy that like, you know, gets a little cut and is like, oh, you know.
So anyhow, what I'm saying is he's a, he deserved more credit than that than being
unceremoniously booted. Yeah. It's been real quiet in Cleveland about that whole deal,
but I'm sure they're deeply, deeply regretting ever bringing Deshaun Watson down. Yeah. They,
they let Baker Mayfield go and bringing that idiot. It showed them, didn't it? Yeah. But you know,
they're not, they're not really owning up to it yet, but I think in just probably a year or two,
we'll start hearing them openly say, yeah, that was one of the worst ideas we ever had.
Yes. And I, I think Deshaun Watson may have very well played one of his last games in the NFL.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think they're tired of it. I would be surprised to see him in somebody's
training camp next year, but that's about it. I think so too. And he won't make it. It'd just
be like, okay, he's on a practice squad. And then people are just going to be like, you know what,
they got, no, no, we don't want to, we don't want anything to do with him. Yeah. So the team will
sign him in the off season for training camp, just to get the excitement going. And then they'll use
him to rest their quarterbacks that they're really going to keep. Yes. And then when it's
that day, they'll dump Deshaun Watson back onto the street. So he'll get used for training camp
next year. Yep. And he'll be selling insurance, but people will be afraid to deal with him.
Oh man. Yeah. Well, yeah, he gets, you know what? He did it to himself. Anyhow, go ahead.
All right. Next game, Philadelphia at Baltimore.
So he pulled it out 24 19. This is this one. I got wrong. I think Baltimore 21 13.
Go ahead. Nobody really played well, but
Philadelphia has got overall a bit more talent. I think I can sum it up.
It's not the coaching and no, he's horrible. And they hate him. I know I have some friends
from Philadelphia. They hate him. They think he's a boob and I think they're right. Okay.
I can sum this whole thing up with two names, Shaquan Barkley and Travis Henry. Yep. There you
go. One of them made the right choice and one of them made the wrong choice. Yeah. It's as simple
as that. You know, look, of course in hindsight, it seems pretty plain, but Travis Henry would have
been awesome as like a five to 10 downs a game running back. Yeah. Not like they're not like
they're trying to use them. Yeah. And now I'm seeing something even more disturbing in Baltimore
because what's his name? Their quarterback Jackson. Yeah. He's starting to get more bold
because it's not getting done and he's putting himself in the line of fire a little bit too much.
I see that too. Yeah. Yeah. He was holding back before. I know that John Harbaugh is like,
no, no, no, no, don't, don't run, throw. You can pass good throw always throw first. Now he's
starting to get that little bit of, um, urgency. So you're seeing him scrambling and putting himself
in very vulnerable positions and taking hits. Um, that's, that's not what he needs to do. So
yeah, we shall see. Especially for quarterback. At what point do you start doing self preservation
just so you can live to the next game? You know, he did that at what, when he was working on his
big contract himself, he took himself out, quit playing. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he could do it. He
did it before. I mean, I think they said as an injury, but everyone said, no, it's not. He's,
he doesn't want to get injured because he's working on that one contract that he wants to get.
So, uh, anyhow, I mean, that team is lagging something and I'm not sure exactly what it is,
but that team can hang in a game, but they just, I mean, it's not as bad as since in the
I mean, it's not as bad as Cincinnati, but it's Cincinnati esque. It's like,
yeah, I can kind of see that. Yeah. I, um, ironic. They're both in the same division.
I know. Yeah. And all of a sudden, you know, Baltimore looks great, like Cincinnati did.
And all of a sudden you start seeing cracks in the cement and then it starts, you know,
cracking more. And it's like, wait a minute, you know, this is not that team. I thought it was.
Yeah. So, um, it's kind of a cliche, but you know, they always say it's how you respond to the hard
times. It really shows who you are. The first game. You have a good time when you're winning,
but when things get tough, that's when you kind of really see the real person behind the smile.
The NFL did not do them any favors by sending them to arrowhead first game.
Oh, yeah. They pretty much took Jackson and stuck their finger in his face,
the middle finger and said, here. Yeah. Step right into this bug saw. Why don't you? Yeah.
Yep. So yeah. Um, yeah. I mean, it started with that and it's been up and down ever since. And
they just don't look that good. Travis Henry doesn't look comfortable anymore. He did for a
while. Yeah. So anyhow, we can move on. Okay. Uh, Sunday night game, San Francisco at Buffalo
is a snow game. Oh yeah. Well, San Francisco obviously does not play in the snow. Yeah.
Bernie looked pretty bad in that game, didn't he? Yeah. And you know what? Um, I think one did Tom
Brady that got a lot of shrapnel over the, eh, he's a good quarterback, but he's not as good as
they think. He said something like that. He was being honest. I love Tom Brady because he's honest.
Yep. He doesn't miss words. They ask him for his opinion. He gives it to him.
And I'm pretty sure it was him that said, you know, he's a good quarterback, but he's not,
you know, he's not like the Tom Brady pickup at the last, you know, in the last round,
the very last play. And he is right. You don't really think of him as championship caliber.
He isn't, he isn't, he's an above average quarterback. They can get it done with the
right tools around him, but he's not a guy that goes, come on, everybody. Come on on my back.
No. Um, he says you're going to run into a better quarterback in the postseason. So
and they pretty good really isn't good enough. And they did case in point over time. They took
the ball first. He could not negotiate the ball in the end zone. They settled for three points.
What did my homes do four plays later? He's in the end zone.
There you go. That sums up. Yeah. That sums up the whole, that sums up the 49ers right there.
And he had everybody last year. This jury doesn't have anybody hardly. I mean,
I you sound McCaffrey might be out forever. I mean, that injury that he's got will continue
to bother him. And he's already been injury prone. Um, uh, what's his name?
He hasn't been himself this year either. No, no, it's, uh, the defense hasn't looked very good.
A lot of times I look really sloppy and horrible and unable to defend. So, uh, that team looks
to me like it's falling apart. It's not coming together. Yeah. I mean, I, I understand. I
understood what the conditions there, you couldn't really change direction. The defense was really
hampered. Um, but, and then, you know, I'm sure the, the Buffalo Bills practice in that they've,
I'm sure they have a snowmaking machine and they can cover their field of snow anytime they want
and practice in it. Oh, I'm sure. So, you know, I kind of give San Francisco part of the pass on
that, but they still look bad. They still look like they have no business in the postseason.
What was the final score in Buffalo let up?
I'm sorry. What was the final score? And we got to remember Buffalo let got off the pedal. Oh yeah.
It was 35 to 10. Okay. Um, all right. I think that's the way the score should have been if they had
good field, a good field and no snow because Buffalo could have scored 55.
Definitely. But they let off the pedal. So I think 35 to 10 is about what those teams are.
That's it right there. When you see it, that's what San Francisco is right now.
And that's what Buffalo is right now. So, yeah. Yeah. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. So,
yeah. All right. Let's see. What was the Monday? Oh, there's a game tonight.
A really good game. Hang on. Who is it? Pittsburgh is one of them. Yeah. Thursday
night football, but go ahead about, um, no, no way. It's green Bay at Detroit. That's tonight.
Yeah, that is tonight. Okay. Um, okay. I have to make our fix on that before we turn it on,
don't we? Yeah, we're going to have to. Yeah. Thanks for saying that. Cause I was getting ready
to look at the score. Yeah. Okay. I won't. I got off in there. So our last game is Cleveland at
Denver. Cleveland, uh, made it sorta close. Denver one 41 32. James Winston is exciting,
but what did he throw? He threw what? Two pick sixes in that game. Yeah. And he threw three
interceptions overall after he threw over almost 500 yards. Yeah. And four touchdowns.
He's exciting. He's definitely exciting, but you're not necessarily going to win with him.
No. And the problem is, is because the hero plays he makes, he makes up in mistakes.
Yeah. He's not, I think he's the perfect quarterback for the rest of this season.
And he's going to get, he's going to be fun again for Cleveland and that they've been missing that.
I think he gives that excitement. I'm absolutely, you are absolutely correct on that.
It's letting them forget about their past sins and just going, you know what this guy can,
he can throw a lot of points up. We may lose the game, but at least it's going to be exciting.
Yeah. So yeah, I agree. Instead of just saw him Watson looking all fucking bummed out there on the
sideline. Yeah. Yeah. And nobody's sitting next to him. You ever notice that? Yeah.
Whenever he's on the bench, nobody's sitting next to him. That, that tells me a lot. Yeah.
All right. That was all the schedule. Okay. You want to do some bullet points? Yeah.
Okay. I was going to do this last one. I'm going to do it right now. Baseball. We discussed baseball
earlier. Okay. Yeah. Have you heard about the golden bat rule that they want to maybe implement?
The traditionalists are all up in arms and pissed off. No, you can't do it. I love it.
Do you know what it is? No, not at all. Okay. That's where at the end of the game,
you have one golden bat. So let's say Bobby wit was up right before the ending before. Okay.
And here's the last out. You come up and a guy gets on base and you're down by two.
You can insert Bobby wit one time and have him bad again.
I like that. The one free one free switch, one free substitution. And it doesn't matter if he
just batted like two ago or one ago, you can put them back in there. If you want to Bobby wit comes
up and pops out and you know, we want him again right now. He goes out there again.
Man, the managers are going to hate that. I know. And traditionalists are already
flipped out about it. I mean, they didn't like the DH rule. Oh, you can't do that. The pitcher's got
a bat. It's like, Oh, fuck you. I don't like one to nothing games idiot. So yeah. Yeah.
That would be great for the fans. That would be really fun and exciting. That would add, add the
really interesting elements of the game. It'd be another excellent thing to gamble on. That's it.
That's why it might happen right there gambling. All of a sudden, you know, they do that percentage
to win and lose and it goes up and down according to what happens. Like there's two men on base,
eighth inning, you're down by two guy comes up and strikes out. It was 68% chance of winning.
Then it goes down to 30%. Then a guy comes up and knocks them both in. And then it goes up to 70%
chance of winning. That's a betting tool. And you see all of a sudden Bobby wit comes back up and
bam, that line that that percentage winning line goes up like 60 points. Yep. Yeah. I think, I
think it might happen just because of that, but I love the rule because it actually makes that game
exciting. You'll turn it on to go, Oh man, Hey, the game's close. Let's see what they're, who
they're going to put in. Yeah. Yeah. You could bet. You could also bet on when the person would put
in. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You can be like, I think Bobby wits going in, um, in the eighth inning
and he's should bad in the seventh, according to this, you know, and, and if they, if they don't
come up with any runs, he's going to lead off the eighth inning or, you know, yeah. Yeah. So yeah,
we both agree, right? Yeah. That'd be awesome. Yeah. We'll see if it gets done. So
all right. Yeah. We'll see if it gets done. So, all right. My first one after the baseball question
is, and they're lucky we even talked about baseball, honestly. So, uh, should the NFL
consider using a larger rotation of teams for Thanksgiving day? Yeah. Yeah. It gets very boring.
Um, the Thursday night's completely different. That's not part of the Thanksgiving day
lineup. Yeah. That's his own entity. It's always, uh, Detroit and Dallas. Yeah. And some
doesn't Detroit generally have the morning game and Dallas the afternoon? Yes. They need to switch
things up. Yeah. So, yeah, you could say the, uh, the teams that were in the previous super bowl,
each get the host of Thanksgiving day game. I think that would be excellent. Yeah. So if you
make the super bowl, you're like, Hey, we get a Thanksgiving Thanksgiving game next year. You see,
you could take this all different kinds of ways like that. I love the idea because of that.
And also it's another thing. It, it generates excitement. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. Cool.
Um, the next one, should the big salvation army kettle move out of Dallas
and bail to a winning team? Absolutely. That's mine. They should be there right now.
Wow. It's really bizarre to see the Cowboys just be bad for so long. I mean, you know,
they had some winning seasons and made some postseason appearances, but it's kind of hard
to be so mediocre and worse for so long. It's just not the Dallas I'm used to. No,
since the mid nineties, what have they had? Tony Romo has been their best shot.
Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Because they came closer than Dak did. Yeah. Yeah. So he didn't,
he didn't cost as much either. No. When you adjust for the times, he wasn't as expensive as
we were. Weren't we convinced they weren't going to resign him for all that money? And then they
did. Yeah. Yeah. It's like what? Yeah. So they're reaping what they sow. Yeah. The way it is.
They have a perfect opportunity to get out of that Dak Prescott, save all that money and spend it
somewhere else. But nope. Let's be honest. Do you think the chiefs would have done that? The chiefs
right now? No, I see the chiefs always making the smarter move for this point. Yes.
Because Brett Veach and Andy Reed. Yeah. Andy Reed and Veach should go, we're not paying that
much for that guy. He's not a proven winner. Yeah. Yeah. So the next one I got, what quarterback is
wasted by a horrible team? Ooh. Yeah. Oh, my first impulse is say Derek Carr. I think he's better
than the team he's on. That's a good one. Yep. Maybe the Chargers. Yeah. I mean, before this year,
they're doing good now. But I, that was the first one I thought of. Yeah. That's the first one I
thought of. Let's see. What else? Who else? Yeah. CJ Trout's not there yet. No. And I mean, they're
competitive and they're leading their division and all that. So we can't really say that. And he had
such a brilliant rookie season and he still has that long pass. Not like he did. They're taking it
away from him to a degree. But he's not wasted on that team because they're actually doing something.
They're not as good as I thought they would be, but they're doing something. Yeah. I think one of
the problems, oh, go ahead. Apart from the attitude, I would say Joe Burrow falls on that list
because he really is getting it done offensively. I mean, he's making the throws, he's scoring points.
When I wrote, the rest of the team is just letting him down. When I wrote this question, he was the
second guy I thought of. But then I started reading some more into it. And I think that's
what he was doing. And his comments started adding up more and more and more. And now I'm not sure
if I feel that way. I'm like, look, the guy's a great talent, but is his mindset there? I don't,
I'm not sure. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's part of his mindset now is that this team has wasted
enough of his time and his season is not getting any longer. Yeah. And he's got an attitude.
But here's the deal. He's ready to move on and start winning. And he doesn't care if it's with
Bengals or somebody else. You know how they could have won that game against Pittsburgh?
By him not throwing an interception or fumbling. Both times they were well inside the enemy's
territory. Yeah. Yeah. So if he wants to point fingers at himself, he ought to look in the
mirror first. Definitely. Definitely. Yeah. Yeah. And that was the first thing I thought was,
wait a minute. I've seen you throw a horrible pass and fumble a ball. No,
nah. He should have said, I did not play well in pressure situations. I'm working to get
better on that. We all are. End of story. Yeah. So that's something that most teams look for
in their quarterback is somebody who's, you know, team mentality, who takes responsibility,
et cetera, et cetera. Yeah. And so with that complainer attitude, he's probably reduced his
chances of another team by about 50%. I agree. And also a good, to me, a good leader takes some
of the blame, but not all the blame. Yeah. Yeah. They take their part and then you let everyone
else have theirs, but you don't specifically name people out. A good way to put that is hold
everyone accountable, including yourself. Bingo. And that is the key right there. It's like, look,
we all played horrible, including me. We got a lot of work to do, but I assure you, we will not stop
until we have what we need. You know, something that reminds me of something my wife always tells
me when I'm angry about something or someone, the situation, she always asked me, well, okay,
but what was your part in it? I've heard her do that before. And I love that because it does stop
you in your tracks and make you think. Yeah. Yeah. And it kicks you out of that victim mentality.
Like, Oh, they're all picking on me and I was minding my own business. So she called me on it
and said, okay, what was your part? And it makes me think, Oh, okay. Well, here's what I did. And
here's how I could have made things better, but didn't. And, you know, I love that about her,
that she, she, uh, she makes me think. She's extremely wise like that. And Val does that
to me a lot too. Um, I have a great example though. And, uh, you know, I was talking about
going to the WASP concert in, uh, in Wichita and, uh, and, uh, anyhow, there guy next to me, I went
up, I got in the front there because there was a little vacant hole and the guy thought I was
squeezing him and his wife out. He got mad and like, he started pushing at me with his elbow. And I
turned around and I looked at him and I go, what's up? He goes, you squeezed your way in here, pushing
everybody around. And I said, it is general admission. There are no anybody's territory.
So he started pushing me again and started making some wisecracks and stuff. And I turned around
at him. I said, you like, you want to watch this show, right? Yeah. I want to watch this show.
Let's call a truce and enjoy this show. Can we do that?
And he stuck out his hand. He goes, you're right. And we did that. And then we ended up talking.
We ended up talking and being pretty good friends. He's a cool guy.
Me. Yeah. It was very good. And Davey was like, God, I remember when you used to be like,
motherfucker, I'm gonna kick your ass. I'm like, nah, I don't have enough time in the day for that.
Yeah. You know? Yeah. So anyhow, yeah. And let's see. Anyhow. Okay. Next question.
What'd you do? Where am I now? Sorry. Okay. Would you subscribe to an NFL app? One that overrides
all the games and market stipulations. So let's say it's a subscription, of course. We know. Okay.
But when you subscribe to that, would you go, you know what? I get all the games on this one platform.
I could throw away these games. I can keep these games. I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can,
I can cast it to my TV or I can run it on an app on my TV. And I think that if they do that,
that would be brilliant. Yeah. Yeah. I could see like a small, small monthly cost, like, you know,
2.99. Yeah. And then you just pay per game that you want. I could see that. I could see that.
I think that would be excellent. And I think that that would be their best bet because this,
this segregating them and putting them on all these different platforms, everybody I talk to hates it.
Yeah. They're like, I got to have Amazon. I got to have Netflix. I got to have this and this.
It pisses them off. It's kind of the opposite of on demand, isn't it? It is. Yeah. And when you
fragment it like that, I think it really waters it down. Yeah. So I think that they're going in the,
the reason they're doing that this right now is because when they do go to an app and they bring
it all together, everyone's going to be happy. Yeah. Yeah. They're not going to think, oh,
they're gouging us for more money. They're going to be like, Hey, cool. Look at this. I get it all
in this app. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's a good, a good tactic is create the problem and then create
the solution. Yes. Happens all the time. It does. Yeah. And you know, I, I would be more likely to
get completely get rid of TV if I could just tap into whichever game I wanted to watch that week.
And if I didn't want to watch a game that week, I didn't have to pay anything. I would jump all
over that. Yeah. I'd be like, that's perfect. You pick what you want. It's kind of like those,
you only pay for what you need. Liberty, Liberty commercial things. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, that's
essentially what it is. I don't need that. Well, I need this game. Just pay for that.
Yep. Anyhow, it's really not all that surprising that the NFL has gone this, this direction because
now they really seem to be putting money ahead of everything else. I mean, now they're making
it more difficult for you to find and watch the game you want because it makes them more money
this way. Well, that's, that's really kind of a change from the NFL that they're, they're okay with
alienating and pissing off fans and making it harder for them to find, you know, there's going
to be people who said, you know what, it's suddenly, it's more trouble than it's worth. And they're
just going to quit watching football. Yes. Yep. That's why they're going to have to do something
like that. Have it all centrally located on one platform. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, it's, I'm pretty
sure it's going to happen and they're doing it this way for reasons that we've talked about and
probably other ones we don't even realize. Yeah. So, okay. All right. The next one is,
should there still be a Madden Turducken? No, that's run its course. I agree. Get it out of
there. Nobody cares. Yeah. Yeah. It's a waste of time. And it's not like John Madden invented
that. That was a thing long before there was John Madden. I know, but everybody thinks he invented
it because they're rubes. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no. Yeah. Very popular, but no, he did not admit it. He made it more popular is what it was.
And people thought because he made it more popular, he probably came up with it.
No. Yeah. Yeah. Anyhow. All right. Should Al Michaels write a book on players that were complete
assholes? Oh, I'd be the first one in line. Oh, heck yeah. I'd be the first one in line. I would
too. I'd even go to the book tour. Yeah. I mean, I would too. I'd get assigned by him and give him a
big hug and go, thank you. More people need to do this. Yeah. I'd love to hear unflattering
stories about the NFL. Who was it that they had an excerpt of it that they accidentally recorded
and it got loose online? It was one of the major players in the color analysts. And he's talking
about a couple of players saying, those guys are complete fucking asshole dickheads. And he said
to him by name and it was out for a little while, but it squelched. I could not find it anymore,
but I can't remember who it was. It might've been great gumball. You know, keep searching for it
because somebody will notice that it's been taken down and they'll bring it back up. I think it
might be, it might've been Greg Gumball. Oh yeah. That does ring a bell. Yeah. I kind of remember
something about really controversial about Greg Gumball. Yeah. And it was because his excerpts got
out, say talking about players being complete assholes. I guess him and another guy were
talking and it got recorded somehow. And then someone found it and we're like, Hey, listen to
this. So yeah, I wish Al Michaels would do that. And like you, I would be one of the first ones in
line. Definitely. All right. Next one. Last year, the wild card playoff game at Arrowhead was one
of the coldest ever as a result. Should there be stipulations because of fans of exposure?
Should the game be rescheduled or moved if it happens again? Because there was a crazy amount
of people that had amputations on fingers, toes, because they were out in the elements
for, you know, rooting for their team. Now the players I'm not worried about, none of them got
amputations. They're running around, they're running hot. They're fine. But the people in the
stands, Joe fan are really kind of at risk, aren't they? Yeah. But you know, I'm going to put it back
on the fan is nobody's making them go. Me too. They want to go. Me too. They're pissed off that
they've spent the money and now it's cold, but they're going to go anyway. A lot of people got
tickets for 20 bucks. Yeah, they can stay home and they're perfectly fine. I can go and do better
about dressing for the weather. Get an electric jacket, battery operated. They'll smoke you out
of there in 10 below. I've had it happen before. Yeah. But they- I'm putting it on the fans for
being, you know, they made the choice to go and stay and not be dressed properly. These were all
their choices. They could say, you know what, we're just going to eat the money on these tickets or
try to sell them and stay home and not risk life and limb. That was always a choice. That's exactly
how I feel about it too, because it's like this. If you really cared about your limbs, there's
people out there with no shirt on just to prove a point, whatever, we're tough or Kansas state,
whatever. But those idiots, I don't have any sympathy for. Yeah. Yeah. They're the people who
say what they mean is I want to, but what they say is I have to. Yeah. I had to go. I had to go.
Well, they didn't. They took advantage of really cheap tickets, $20. Great tickets went for 20
bucks because the regular people are like, I'm not going to that. I'm going to stay at home.
Yep. So yeah. All right. We're on the same. All right. I'm glad you said that.
Okay. Should smartwatch it? This is a new thing and look up on the internet. Should smartwatches
be worn on the field because of possible cheating? I'm not talking about the players, of course,
players can not wear them, but coaches can wear them and they can communicate from the box
where binoculars are being used.
You know, I think that's okay. They have a rule in place about which players on the field can
communicate. And yes, one on offense, one on defense, but I've always heard and we'll just
presumed that communication from the coaches boxes upstairs down to the sideline was like,
like us talking right now. I just figured it was constant two way and they were constantly in touch.
So yeah, I don't see, I don't even know why they need smart watches. Why don't they just, you know,
they still Bluetooth headset and be on the phone with them. How about stealing, stealing signs
like in baseball? It's the same thing. They're like, Hey, and like, it's like when last year,
Buffalo tried to pull the fake kick and we caught it. Well, we didn't like have someone like look
and go, Hey, it was, they gave it away by their formation and how they acted. Yeah. It's sign
stealing like in baseball and it's part of the game. And if you do happen to get something,
then that's great. You figured out how to get an edge. I agree. It's been a thing on the internet
that's got a little bit of cloud, but most people are like us. They're like, yeah,
I mean, if you're making these signs in a public way, then how are you going to get mad if somebody
looks at them and remembers them? Yeah. It's, it's kind of the same stupidity of Vegas,
not wanting you to count cards. It's like, dude, you're showing me the cards and I'm remembering
them. How can you call that cheating? It's not cheating. What it is is they don't like it
because you're winning. So they found a way to get you not to. Yeah. If you remember the cards
and which cards have been played, you can figure out the odds better on what's coming up next.
And that's what they don't like. So it's not that it's illegal cheating. It's just against the rules
the rules that they want you to play by and they won't ever gamble in there again. If you
think you're counting cards. Yeah. And also feeling, feeling signs is like, it's like the same
thing. You're doing it in public. Yeah. So why can't somebody look at them? Um, there is the, uh,
freedom of capturing information or something like that act. Yeah. Um, and that's where a lot of it
has to do with no reasonable expectation of privacy. Exactly. And the guy proved it. He
recorded like presidents and congressmen, um, air transmissions, like from a helicopter and a plane.
He recorded all this stuff and broadcast it everywhere. And there's nothing they could do
about it because you have public airwaves. You do not have a reasonable exponent, uh, um, expectation
of privacy was pretty much what they said. Yep. It's like, look, you put it out there, it can get
intercepted and that's the way it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm like, you know, so it makes perfect
sense. You know, everyone knows that if you're in a crowded room, you don't start telling secrets
because everyone's going to hear. I mean, it's just common sense. So if you're out there doing
stuff in public and people are overhearing or overseeing or whatever, it's, it sounds like
brat behavior to me. It's like, it's no fear. I want to win. Yes. Yep. I agree. This is bullshit.
Yeah. Yep. I agree. Um, it's bullshit when someone else does it, but it's okay when you get to do it.
Yeah. It's the old fucking, uh, yeah. Uh, whatever works for you. I'm gonna move stuff around and make
it work for me. So anyhow, all right. Well, um, finally DJ Humphries was ruled out of the black
Friday game. I know he isn't well acquainted with the offense, but why not put him in the census
question since I wrote it out, he's, he's going to be in the snacks game. Yeah. Okay. Well, I know
he wasn't well acquainted with the offense, but I don't believe he was injured. So could he have
done a worse job at tackle? Yeah. That's a good point. I think at a certain point, even the
schooled Humphries was going to give you a better chance of winning than letting one, you Morris
continue to screw up. Yeah. Yeah. And he was one Morris was nothing. They were getting right through
him left and right. Yeah. And yeah. And I mean, look, the left tackle, I'm not saying it's easy,
but I'm saying that someone knows how to do it and knows how to do it. And DJ Humphries knew how to
do it. Yep. And I mean, I don't know why they didn't just go instead of putting him in active,
keep him, keep them on, on the active and yeah, Morris is over there fucking up. It was so bad
that they put in Thoony Joe Tooney, not Thoony, Toony. It was so bad. They actually remember that.
I remember seeing 52 52. Yeah. I remember seeing him in there is like, wait a minute. Isn't he
center? Yeah. Or a guard. That's how bad he was. How come you could not have activated DJ Humphries
and put them in there and kept Thoony where he, where he should be. Wow. You know what? But here's
the deal though. How in the world can I question Andy Reed? I, you know, yeah, we're still winning,
but good Lord. I know. I know. Um, but it is frustrating when you see Morris just get fucking
trampled on and you got this guy over there that might be able to do it better. I think you could
have put in fucking, uh, if Buck Kerr was, uh, not injured, I think he could have done a better job
at left tackle. Yeah. I think you could have put in fucking, uh, um, oh, what's his name? Uh, the
guy made fun of, uh, uh, musically, um, oh shit, jelly roll, jelly roll, jelly roll could have been
done a better job just by standing in the way. Ed Sheeran could have done a better job.
Melissa Etheridge could have done a better job.
Yeah. Oh, you know, we got to come up with a, what Morris does, you know, like he pills his potatoes
with a butter knife and stuff like that. He wears tap shoes for swimming lessons.
Uh, he picks his nose before he empties the dishwasher. He puts his, he puts his, uh, um,
he puts his handkerchief on his head.
I don't know. I'm a little slow tonight. I had, I had a little, I had a little,
I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little,
uh, uh, a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a little, I had a long ride back and, and we completely fucked it up.
I know I didn't say this yet because I just now thought about why I'm so tired.
Okay. We made a three hour drive, five hours. You want to know how? Yes. Um, in Poria, there's 335
to Topeka and there's 35 that just keeps scaling up there near Ottawa and all that.
Yeah. Okay. I accidentally went on 335 and didn't turn on the turnpike like I was supposed to.
And Davey didn't catch it either. And we're like an hour past Emporia and I keep seeing 335. I go,
wait a minute. It was 335 and 35 for a little bit around Emporia. They both joined together,
but it shouldn't be now. I go, Davey, hit your navigation. Tell me where we're at.
Oh, we're about an hour and a half south of Topeka.
So I kept looking for these alternate routes to get over near Ottawa. And then I would take
that way into Lewisburg and take Davey home to Cleveland. Right? Yeah. There isn't a road.
There isn't an east and west road, nothing. And I'm like, okay, I go, well, you're going to get
home a little bit later. And I thought, and I'm going to get home a little bit later. And I thought,
because we have to go through Topeka and Lawrence and bend back around.
So anyhow, I'm kind of worn out because I really screwed that one up. So anyhow,
all right. That's all the ones that I had from that. Should we go ahead and
call this good and go to the next one? The predictions?
What? All righty. Let me hang up on this. And if you're hearing it in next to next,
and you'll hear us next, if not, then well, you'll hear us later. Yeah, pretty.
Oh no, looks like the show's over kids. Mark has explosive diarrhea and can't afford a wireless
mic. Fear not assholes. They'll be back invading your ear holes soon.
