Hey everybody, this is the Sports Bastards, minus
Topher. We'll be doing the Sports Bastards with
both of us again. It'll be coming up, the mystery
sports guy, he could not make it, he's out of
town. So you have me, Mark, here doing the NFL
show. So, love it, hate it, whatever, hooray.
So we're going to start off with last week's
Thursday night, Joe Flacco. Keeping the Bengals'
playoff hopes alive with Burrow on track to play
in mid -December. Flacco went berserk and outplayed
Aaron Rodgers and had two interceptions to Flacco's
zero interceptions. Flacco had three touchdowns
to Rodgers' four touchdowns. Jets are scheduled
to lose next Sunday when they make their way
to Natty. My prediction is Natty's easy schedule,
they will make the playoffs. Playoffs! Steelers
go on to play the Red Hot Packers and probably
will receive another loss. The Bengals could
actually take that division with the Steelers'
tough schedule. They have games with the Colts
and Packers, Chargers, Bills, Lions, and Ravens
later on, so they could be healthy by then. Bengals
have the Browns and Dolphins and Jets. This division
will be interesting, especially with the Steelers.
on the bill for a rematch in Pittsburgh. So that
ought to be a pretty good game. That might be
a revenge game, and that might be a game that
determines who makes the playoffs and who doesn't.
So this ought to be a pretty interesting scenario
right here. So the Rams, how about them, huh?
They're a little Jekyll and Hyde season here.
They destroyed the Jags 35 -7, no different than
the Chiefs, I guess. So just as soon as the Jags
arrive, they decide to lay down. I was never
convinced of them after their win over the Chiefs.
Jags need to look in the mirror and do some figuring
out quickly. Trevor is great at times and not
so great at times. His inconsistent play doesn't
lend to a string of victories. Rams had no problems
getting in the end zone. Have they figured it
out finally? Stay tuned. They will play the 49ers
and the Seahawks twice with the Lions and Bucks
mixing. They will earn it if they can win consistently
with that schedule coming up. Their schedule
is brutal, and I'm not convinced. I don't know.
I like them. They're looking better. And their
play calling looks better. And they look like
they could possibly easily be a playoff team.
But a lot has to happen. And that's true with
anybody. I mean, with any team. But we will see.
I mean, yeah, that's a good start. We'll see
what happens. The Eagles got back on track, or
did they? It's a 28 -22 win over the falling
apart Vikings. Exactly bragging rights? Probably
not. And they did take care of business. Giants,
Packers, Lions, Chargers, Cowboys, and Bills.
They need Hurts to give a game like he did against
the Vikings to stay on the winning track. They
have a lot of games coming up that they're going
to have a tough time with. You know, Hurts had
a perfect passer rating. The Vikings are 3 -3
and in danger of not even making the playoffs
with their schedule this season. They have a
tough schedule because they did go to the playoffs.
They didn't do very well, but they went to the
playoffs, so the NFL gave them a pretty tough
schedule. So, hey, how about Drake May and the
Surgeon Patriots are flat partying? May was 21
-23 pass attempts with 222 yards and two touchdowns.
I'm still sticking to this. Patriots could dethrone
the Bills for the division title. Could this
be the year that the Chiefs and Bills get overthrown
for the division titles? It's been a long time
running, and I'm not convinced yet, but this
is going to be a much more interesting season
than seasons past. The Bills, they have time
to get it together, but they just don't look
like they have anything on the right track right
now. It doesn't mean that they won't get it together
at all. It doesn't mean that they can't figure
it out. It doesn't mean that they can't trade
for a good receiver. There's a lot of time left
to change the season around. They still have
Josh Allen, but their defense is one of my big
things on them. Their defense looks horrible.
You can run on them easily. And any team that
you can run on, as my opinion is, is you can
beat. A lot easier than a team that you can't
run on, obviously. It's been proven over and
over time and time again in the NFL. If you don't
run, if you don't run with success, you have
a hell of a lot less chance of winning a lot
of football games. The Panthers barely beat the
hapless Jets. I think I'll just move on. You
know, the battle of the number one pick here.
The Jets might just actually do that one right,
but will they waste a pick? They probably will.
I'm guessing if their track record's anything
like it has been, they will fuck this pick up
if they get a number one or number two or number
three. Doesn't matter. They'll pick the wrong
one. So what am I saying? All right. Speaking
of high draft picks, the Browns beat up on the
Dolphins, who are just terrible. Browns have
Dylan Gabriel, who has shown some upside. He
had an effective 13 of 18 for 116 yards. Dolphins
are going to be looking for a quarterback in
the draft. Tagovaiola had three interceptions.
Browns' defense is no joke. They can't win all
their games for them, but the Browns are not
going to be a pushover. They're going to be tough
to beat, and that is because of their defense.
But because they don't have that guy and they
don't have the offense to generate to win games.
You're going to see them probably be maybe about
a 500 team. With any luck, maybe a 9 -8, but
I'm thinking probably 500 or maybe just a notch
below. So, I mean, their team isn't terrible
or horrible like it was before. Their defense
is really good, and, you know, they're a good
quarterback away from being competitive and probably
competitive even to the division title with a
couple of good draft picks. So we'll see what
happens. The Bears beat the Saints, Radler. He
had interceptions with Caleb Williams, not playing
a whole lot better. Both teams suck a long ways
off to even respectful level. And I know the
Bears have won four in a row, but come on. Do
you expect this to keep on? I don't. Caleb Williams
isn't playing that well. He's better than he
was, but he's not the guy. And I'm sure there's
probably some idiot like Skip Tard Ballas or
somebody going, oh, Caleb Williams is the best
ever. Oh, my God, he's better than Mahomes. He's
better than Burrow. You know, those idiots. So,
well, let's get to this. I hear the AFC holding
their collective breath over the Chiefs coming
alive offensively and defensively. A 31 -0 zip.
Stomping of the Raiders. Mahomes is taken out
in the third quarter as well as a chunk of the
other starters. So, Trey Smith, he went down
with a back injury, which makes the Josh Simmons
issue even more critical. Mahomes again had a
forward touchdown performance with more left
on the table. There's a lot more left on the
table because he had a quarter and change to
play still where he was moving the ball at will.
I'm not sure if they punted once. I don't think
they punted once in the first half. and even
i don't even think they they might have punted
one time in the third quarter if that you So
pretty much they scored pretty much on every
time they had the football, which is pretty much
old Mahomes and pretty much the old receiving
core that they're used to. Not the ones in the
last couple of few years, even though they won
two out of three Super Bowls. They did not have
a receiving core, and it was mostly defense with
Patrick Mahomes making the play when he has to.
And that's something that's been so underrated
about Patrick Mahomes is this right here. Patrick
Mahomes has always. Always been able to make
the play, the fourth down play, the third down
play. He's always been able to do it, and he's
been able to make that point, make that one,
two, or three points that's going to count in
winning the game when the other team could not.
The defense held them, and Mahomes just stayed
steady. He didn't get crazy. He didn't go out
there and try to throw 300 yards and five touchdowns.
He just went out there, and he did enough just
to win the game. And he knew what he was doing.
He was like, you know, I don't have the receiving
force, so I cannot be careless. I cannot be careless
with a football. So what he did was he just took
it for what he had. He took what he had, and
he did what he had to, and he came out on top.
And that's where a lot of people are like, oh,
this isn't old Mahomes. No, actually, this Mahomes
is better. This Mahomes is aware of what his
team is, and he knows how to play the other team
according to what his team is. The guy is incredible,
and the thing is he may not even be as good as
he's going to be. I mean, look at Tom Brady.
Tom Brady took a lot of years. He was a game
manager when he first came into the league. He
was a game manager that knew enough not to screw
the game up And that's what happened his first
year, taking over for Drew Bledsoe. Bledsoe got
injured, they won the Super Bowl. And that's
because he was doing smart play, not fantastic
play. He became a gunslinger later on in his
career. And he wasn't nearly the same guy that
he was at the end, throwing for 350 yards and
five touchdowns. He was a game manager at first,
and that's what Patrick Mahomes had to become.
And him doing that just like that and being able
to dial it down and play the type of football
that will win a game like that. is incredible,
and it doesn't get enough credit, and there's
all the talking heads like the Skip Tards and
all them that don't give them any credit for
that, that shows you how much they don't know
football. That shows you how much they just want
to chip on the Chiefs. They just love to motherfuck
the Chiefs, and the reason is because we are
not the coast. We are supposed to just be there
to beat up on. That's it. They don't like us
when we win. They don't like us when we win,
and they're going to have a lot of sorrow coming
up because it ain't over. All right, so let's
see. Mahomes again, you know, like I said, he
had four touchdowns. The Chiefs are clicking
on all cylinders. Offensive line performing well,
and Rice's return have jump -started the Chiefs'
powerful offense. Spaggs has the defense playing
out of their minds. This young core is looking
better and better each game, which is pretty
much what he said. Oh, hey, all right, we got
a tour over here. Okay, so you're going to hear
part of the tour. I think it's a ghost tour.
Okay, so let's see here. The Chiefs have been
opening up the whole game with slant passes.
The slant passes to keep the defenses on their
heels. Then Mahomes, he lets loose with 50 -yard
bombs to boot. After he has them, he can be deadly
accurate from afar. He always is, and he's very
precise. The thing is, you know, I'm going to
go ahead and pause this for a minute while this
chick's over here fucking yapping. You know what?
This is taking too long, so I'm just going to
go ahead and keep on with the podcast here. So,
you know, the running game of the Chiefs is starting
to show signs of life, which is fantastic because
that is, like I said earlier in the podcast,
that the whole running game sets the tone for
the game that if you have a good running game,
you have a much better chance of winning. It
doesn't make you one -dimensional. And it's the
same way with defense. You've got to be able
to do everything well, defend against the passes,
and also to pass rush and also have safeties
that are good, that are in their places, in the
zones that they need to be to catch these slant
passes as well as the longer ones, and also to
stop the middle of the run or on a slide run.
Anyhow, the Chargers, they certainly don't look
like the Super Bowl contender. Everyone in the
media anointed them to be. Daniel Jones' efficient
game helped the Colts whip the Chargers 38 -24.
Herbert had two interceptions with three touchdowns.
The Chargers got smoked by Jonathan Taylor. Herbert
had 420 yards, but he did not make enough plays.
He made too many mistakes to go ahead and win
that game. And I'm going to pause this again
because she is just way too loud. Okay, so Herbert,
like I said before, Herbert had two interceptions
and three touchdowns. The Chargers got smoked
by Jonathan Taylor. Like I said, I'm kind of
rehashing what I said a little bit ago. Herbert
had 420 yards but made enough mistakes to lose
with a tandem of missing key opportunities. So
the game really... The game was really won because
the Colts were efficient and the Chargers were
not disciplined. And also the Colts, their defense
and Jonathan Taylor got them off of their game.
So it was a pretty easy win for them. And so,
suddenly, you hear all the Charger talk like
you used to. People are starting to back off
of that. Just like the Josh Allen and the Bills
talk. Everyone's starting to back off of that,
too. They start seeing a little bit of holes
in it. I'd have more respect for them if they
said, you know what, I said that at the first
year, so I'm going to stick with it. Win or lose,
I don't care. But none of them do that. They've
got to try to save face. And to credit a lot
of them, like Colin Cowherd and people like that,
they said, hey, I apologize to the Chiefs. Those
guys, they're getting it together. I thought
they were done. A lot of other people did. Well,
obviously, well, I mean, you know what? I can't
say, I don't think they're done, but I can't
say yet. It's only six games into the season.
But they look much better than they did a while
back with their receiving core being full. and
their offensive line performing well. And the
running game is starting to get together. Maybe
Pacheco was still hurt a little bit last year,
but he's starting to look like he has that explosive
power like he had when he first went into the
league before he started getting injuries. I
just hope he's careful because the injuries are
what's screwing up his career, honestly. If he
didn't have all those injuries, he would be a
lot further along than what he is now. So we
wish him luck. We need him to do well. And Kareem
Hunt. is about what I think you should be. He's
really good on the goal line. He's a power runner.
He'll get you that couple of yards that you need,
and I don't think you can ask very much more
of him. All right, so the Chiefs' frustration
with Elijah Mitchell, inability to get on the
field. It's starting to show. Rashad Smith has
established himself as a third string back, but
could get more snaps to lessen the load on Pacheco
and Hunt. Now they handed him the rock, I don't
know, like 10 times in a row at the end of the
game last week against the Raiders. And I think
you're going to see that a lot. I think you're
going to give it to him and he's just going to
start running up the middle and just using that
power running that he seems to be pretty good
at. And this is a guy we've got to keep an eye
on because this guy is good. He's fast. He's
strong. He's got a lot of punch. I'm telling
you, this guy might be very good. We've got to
keep developing him like we do, like Andy Reid
and company does with their brilliant staff that
they have. So, you know, he's been effective
enough that they're going to feed him the ball
more and more, and I can't wait to see how he
progresses. So the question... is should we trade
Mitchell? The Saints are in the market for a
running back after Kendall Miller was hurt, and
he's out for the year. He had a torn ACL, so
we might look at that. The Bucs got their ass
handed to them by the Crybaby Lions. Now you
don't hear the crybaby lions crying anymore,
do you? Because they won. They dominated Tampa
Bay, and suddenly everything's right in the universe.
But they came to Kansas City thinking they were
going to kick the shit out of us, and they got
punched in the face. They got punched in the
face, and they got Buster Douglas all the way
fucking down. They were lying on the ground when
they left, hapless and barely alive. So that's
what the lions get for being so cocky. And like
I said, Dan Campbell and his bullshit, it looks
to me, my opinion is, is he does bounties. He
was telling people to hurt Mahomes or anybody
he can because I believe that that's what kind
of a coach he is. And those kind of coaches never
fucking last. And you watch that big fucking
piece of shit, in my opinion. He's not going
to be around another couple of years because
he's going to keep doing shit like that. And
other teams are just going to beat the hell out
of him. So, all right. Detroit dominated the
Bucs 24 -9. The score does not do the game justice.
The Bucs were really disappointing. I mean, Mayfield,
as good as he looked, was as bad as he looked.
You know, everyone's anointing him the MVP. All
of a sudden, you don't hear that so much anymore.
You have one bad game, and suddenly you're worthless.
So that's one of the problems with the league.
You have a bad game, and suddenly everybody,
they had their... All their chips in your corner
starts grabbing them and running. This goes back
to all the talking heads that refuse to admit
that they are wrong. Like I said, I'd have a
hell of a lot more respect for someone. I admit
when I'm wrong. I thought the Chiefs were going
to beat Jacksonville. When they lost, I was like,
okay, I guess I was wrong. I guess maybe the
Chiefs aren't quite as good as I thought they
were going to be. It's not that hard to do. If
I can do it, they can. The Texans continue to
look abysmal. with the Seahawks handily beating
them 27 -19. Many are already calling for C .J.
Stroud's benching. He hasn't got off to a good
start. Ever since the rookie season, he leveled
off, and he hasn't been really, quite frankly,
he hasn't been that high of a player. He's been
about mid -level for a quarterback, which is
not that good because when he came into the league
his rookie season, he caught everybody by surprise,
and he was looking great. He was making those
long passes. He was making the difficult passes.
But now it seems like if you get in his face,
he will get flustered, and that's the worst thing
a quarterback can do. You cannot get flustered.
You have to keep to the game plan. So it's up
to the Texans and C .J. Stroud to develop a plan
to get by this because teams have figured them
out to a point. So I'm not saying the Texans
are not going to be in it, but I'm saying they
got to play a hell of a lot better than they
are now. They have a lot of talent on that team.
They have to put it together and they have to
have the coaching help them. develop this and
to develop a consistency of this plane and they
have to develop a consistency of of how they
win they have to develop this formula and they
haven't been good at that they've been erratic
they've been here and there and they've been
losing games they should have won and they've
been winning games that by accident quite frankly
so All right. Three years in the league, and
he has been figured out, and they need to work
on it. So Darnold did enough to win behind the
Seattle strong defense. They have a really good
defense. We'll see him come playoff time. Darnold
will probably wet down his leg like he always
has because that type of death by paper cut does
not work out in the playoffs. It works great
during regular season, but when you go up against
these elite defenses, you get your ass handed
to them, and this should be probably no different.
So, let's see. You know, the Vikings had a very
abrupt end of their season last year. They looked
so promising, and I could really... Oops, sorry
about that. I could really... see that happening
again i'm not wishing it because i kind of like
sam darnold and i wouldn't mind seattle doing
a little something but i don't know we'll have
to see i mean they're gonna Darnold's going to
have to play perfect ball with that defense to
get through some of the heavy hitters like the
Philadelphias, the Green Bays. The Commanders,
they don't look so good suddenly. There are some
other teams there that look good too that I'm
not even thinking of. San Francisco, if they
get healthy, they're going to be lethal. The
Rams, they look like they're getting it together.
So it's going to be tough. It's going to be really
tough for them to do anything. So we'll see.
So, now, like I talked about before and about
how all these talking heads, Bag Mahomes and
all this, you know, it's over. He hasn't been
the same in three years, all this stuff, everything,
blah, blah, blah. Even though you went two out
of three Super Bowls and went to all three of
them during that span, you're worthless. That's
what everybody says. So, let me go over some
of the records as of now that Patrick Mahomes
has accumulated. He's the fastest to reach 250
passing touchdowns. He's the fastest to reach
300 passing touchdowns. He's the fastest to reach
10 ,000 yards in 34 games. He's the fastest to
reach 20 ,000 yards in 107 games. And he also,
oh no, 67 games. I'm sorry, I read the wrong
line. Imagine that, me screwing up. Okay, he's
the fastest one to... 20 ,000 yards in 67 games,
and is the fastest quarterback ever to 30 ,000
yards in 103 games. I'm sorry, there's a lot
going on out here. I'm at the Basin Park. It's
just the Basin Park. It's a nice park in the
middle of Eureka Springs where I'm at right now,
and it's rather spirited there having a zombie
fest this weekend, so there's a lot of people
here. He has multiple 5 ,000 yard seasons. Only
Drew Brees and Tom Brady are the other two that
have had this. His current passer rating is 102
.1. Most wins in his first 100 starts with 78
wins. That's a pretty good record there too,
like I was saying. Tied all time record with
8. Consecu of Games. with 300 passing yards per
game. I'm sorry, the lighting here is very bad.
I'm having trouble picking this up on the paper
because I had to scribble all this because I
didn't have a printer here while we're staying
because we're staying in these lofts that are
not really a hotel. I think they're just lofts
that they rent out. So anyhow, so I didn't have
the luxury of being able to put it in bold type.
And this pen that I use is not the greatest.
So I'm having trouble reading it a little bit.
Please bear with me. So, Skip Bayless, this is
some of the stupidest things that, after I read
all of those about Mahomes' records, now I'm
going to read you some of the things that was
said about him that are ridiculous, and we're
going to have a little chuckle. Hopefully you
and I together are going to chuckle over these
idiots that have said this. So first we go to
Little Skippard. Little Skippard, he said, Skip
Bayless in 2019 tweeted that Matt Moore... Beats
Kirk Cousins, as I predicted on Undisputed. I'm
certainly not saying Moore is better than Mahomes,
but the Chiefs are playing with more spirit and
fight than they did with Mahomes under Moore.
I don't have to say anything. You can listen
to that and analyze it yourself. I don't have
to say anything about the ridiculous... Of all
of that that he said, that dribble, that drool,
that he just says to have his fat mouth open,
what an idiot. Matt Moore has the team playing
harder than Patrick Mahomes. Are you fucking
kidding? Every Super Bowl they've ever played
in, they've been behind by 10 points or more.
And every one they won. So what do you call that?
You call the team just sitting back because they
don't believe in Mahomes? You're an idiot, Skip
Bayless, and everybody knows this. Allegedly.
He also called Mahomes dramatically overrated.
That's funny. That's what I say about him. Only
I'm right. He's not. He stated that he would
pick Caleb Williams over Mahomes during clutch
time. Once again, I go back to 13 seconds. Championship
game. 2020. 2020, I think it was. Championship
game, 2020 season. 13 seconds left. They tied
the game in 13 seconds against the Bills. And
then they won the game on the first drive in
overtime. And it pissed the NFL and all the talking
heads off so bad that they changed the rule so
the Chiefs could come back and do it again against
San Francisco with the rule change. So, Skippy,
shut up. What an idiot. I mean, you sound as
dumb as you look, and I didn't think that was
possible. All right. Here's some more of what
people said about Mahomes or to him. A -Rod encouraged
Mahomes to stick with baseball. That's a good
one, too. Only, I don't think he meant it derogatory.
I think probably Alex Rodriguez thought that
he was a good pitcher. But if not, then that
was an idiotic statement. So, anyhow. Earlier
this year, NBC News said that the Chiefs' 0 -2
start was the worst losing streak in his NFL
career. 0 -2. His worst losing streak in NFL.
0 -2. Let that sink in. Think about that. 0 -2
is his worst. That is when everybody said the
Chiefs were over. It's done. Put a fork in them.
0 -2. Two games in a row. If you count the Super
Bowl, three games, but I'm counting two because
this is a completely different season. So, losing
two games in a row, and suddenly that makes you
horrible? That tells you how good Mahomes and
company is. All right, July. No, no, no. Let's
go to dumbass Roethlisberger first. He said that
he would rather have Aaron Rodgers over Mahomes
because he thought Mahomes at 30 was past his
prime. Rodgers is 42. Ben Roethlisberger, I never
thought you were very smart in the first place.
You have proved me wrong 100%, so thank you.
And keep your fat mouth going. Can't wait till
we stomp your ass if you guys make the playoffs.
July 2025, Jamar Chase said that without Travis
Kelsey, Mahomes is just another Kirk Cousins
with a hand band. T. Higgins can keep his mouth
shut. He knows not to say stupid shit like that.
Jamar Chase is just erratic and blathering constantly,
and I don't know why. I think he would do himself
justice if he kept his mouth shut and didn't
show what a fool he was. So, anyhow. You know,
I don't have three days to go over all the stupid
shit that Jamar Chase's shit has said towards
the Chiefs. But you're welcome to look him up
if you have three days. Anyhow, I could go into
this week's games, but I'm going to do a whole
other show. Like tonight, I can't really say
anything. I'm doing this Thursday night. Thursday
night baseball is going on right now. And the
Chargers look like they're performing much better
than they have in the last few weeks. So I can't
pick anyone on this because if I had to pick
someone, I'd pick the Chargers. But I already
know they're like up 14 -3. And this is like
still barely in the second quarter. So I can't
pick this game. So what I'm going to do is I'm
going to come up with a whole other show and
do the picks by themselves. But instead, I'm
going to go into a little bit of douchebag territory
here. I've got a... Oops, sorry about that. All
right. I've got a story here that I've been wanting
to tell for a while, but I'm going to go ahead
and do it right now because, well, hey, it's
just you and me at the Basin Park. And, you know,
why not? It's a beautiful evening here. That
tour finally fucking left, and all that noisy
shit is gone, and I'm just sitting here. There's
people walking around, strolling. The town's
lively. This is a fun night just to sit out here
and do this, so I'm going to keep it going for
a little bit longer. So if you guys don't like
it, you know how to turn it off. No. Flight diverted
after strange passengers started freaking out
and then eating and flushing their passports.
A person on the plane said his most terrifying
15 minutes of my life. The Ryanair flight from
Milan, Italy to London, UK had to make an emergency
landing after strange passengers began freaking
out and trying to dispose of their passports
in unusual ways. No one on board knew what was
going on. These people were acting weird an anonymous
flight witness told the Daily Star of the wild
saga Which occurred while they were returning
home after spending time with friends abroad
Essentially the flight took off and 15 to 20
minutes into the flight one Once the seatbelt
sign was off Something very strange happened
at the front of the plane The passenger recalled,
I'm just really fucking glad I landed, said one
witness. According to the traveler, one of the
men tore out the pages of his passport and proceeded
to eat them, causing everyone on board to freak
out. I get that. Anyone that eats a passport,
you don't know what the hell they're going to
do, right? You know, they could, like, kick out
a window or something, try to storm the, you
know, the cockpit, something, whatever, you know.
Someone eating a passport is not there. We know
this, and we don't know what they're capable
of, so I understand. So, according to the traveler,
one of the men tore out the pages, like I said,
and his passport was eaten by him. His partner
in crime then tailed it to the other end of the
aircraft and attempted to flush his passport
down the toilet. A flight attendant slammed on
the door and pleaded with him to open it, but
he refused to move, which only led to more tension
per the source. I bet it did. Their hostess then
made a public announcement that was so blunt
and to the point, they continued, that freaked
people out to another level. And so, I guess
they call them, they're no longer flight attendants?
Okay. At that point, the pilots decided to divert
the flight to Paris, France, with a source describing
the descent as the most terrifying 15 minutes
of my life. Upon arrival, French authorities
boarded aircraft and arrested the two men before
conducting a rigorous bag search. In total, the
process took a whopping two hours, after which
a plane was allowed to continue on its way to
London Airport. The source lauded Ryanair employees
for handling the stressful situation amazingly.
I think Ryanair was brilliant in handling it
in a certain way. They gave out drinks towards
the end of the flight, and they were coming in.
And they were apologizing, which they didn't
need to. They had nothing to do with it, but
they helped straighten the situation out. And
it sounds like they handed everything pretty
well. So, Ryanair, whoever the hell you are,
good job. Don't think I've ever heard of you
before, actually. No, actually, you know what?
I think I have. They do international flights,
but anyhow. So, I got a little story here. This
is... Where did it go? Alright. Oh, no, no, no.
I don't want to do that one. Bear with me here.
Okay. People who want to get high, they will
find a way. What is bluetoothing or hotspotting?
And how dangerous trend is fueling the HIV infections?
Health experts are sounding alarm over a disturbing
trend where drug users swap blood to score a
second -hand high. Called bluetoothing? The gruesome
movement is fueling a wave of new HIV infections
in hotspots around the globe, including Fiji
and South Africa. Doctors are warning that the
surge in cases is just the tip of the iceberg
when it comes to the risks tied to this dangerous
practice, also known as hotspotting. It's a risky
street practice that involves injecting a powerful
drug like heroin or meth, then drawing a small
amount of drug -laced blood back into the syringe
and injecting it in someone else to share the
high. The process is repeated from one person
to the next, often using the same needle. In
settings of severe poverty, it's a cheap method
of getting high with a lot of consequences. Brian
Zanoni, an Emory University professor who's studied
drug injection behaviors in South Africa, told
the New York Times this week. You're basically
getting two doses for the price of one. But experts
say it's unclear if it actually works. Some believe
the secondhand injection may offer a weaker high,
while others say it's little more than a placebo.
I say, what the fuck? like i said at the first
people will do anything to get high and that
is case in point right there disgusting all right
let's go to a little bit of fun here uh doritos
decided they're going to release pizza flavored
doritos they will be called stranger things pizza
doritos Of course, in tandem with a promotion
from the show Stranger Things that has aired
on Netflix. But no, Doritos are not just happy
with that. And everybody's raving about the pizza
-flavored Doritos and taste tests, which is excellent.
They want to go ahead and do savory ranch mashup,
as well as some other surprise flavors that they
haven't announced yet. I'm all for it. I love
Doritos, but it's starting to get a little boring
sometimes. There were so many times I could run
back to Taco Doritos. That was a goofy little
bike. All right. Now, I'm going to go to Brian
Branch, and I made some fun of him. And we all
know this because he, in my opinion, is a whining
little pussy. And so, he was bullied by the Chiefs,
and the little guy got his feelings hurt. And
that's why... Me and the other douchebag, Rob,
has sent him a get well card in the mail. And
we will let you know if we get a response. We
hope it reaches him. I sent it to the Detroit
Lions mailing address. Care of Brian Branch.
And it's a get well card. And I even sprayed
a little bit of perfume on it that Val has to
make it even more appealing to the guy. After
the game concluded, Lions safety Brian Branch
got into a quarrel when he dissed Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes and struck Chiefs receiver Juju
Smith -Schuster in the face after the wideout
tried to shake his hand. After cooling down,
Branch apologized for his actions, but he was
given a one -game suspension for the NFL for
what he did. His appeal was also denied, which
is fantastic, and he probably should have gotten
more than one game. While the Branch incident
got the most attention after Sunday night football,
there was another moment during the game that
didn't go unnoticed. During the second half,
Lions head rusher Aiden Hutchinson got slapped
with a penalty for a late hit on Mahomes that
happened second after the Chiefs quarterback
had already released the ball. It was more than
a second. This article says a second, but it
was noticeable how late he was hit. Many expected
Hutchinson to also get slapped with a fine for
unnecessary roughness given the league's crackdown
on sportsmanlike conduct this season. So when
the NFL released its list of fines from the previous
week's games, some were surprised Hutchinson's
name wasn't on it. Two lines player, however,
did receive fines. And I think that asshole,
Dan Campbell, the head coach, needs a fine too.
If you cannot, if you did not, like I think,
like I suspect, like I allege, if you did not
put a bounty on the players, the Chiefs players,
then you don't have control over your team like
you should have, and you need to do another profession.
So, all right, I'm going to move on to something
a little bit different from Rorschach, England.
A man got a craving for gummy candies and went
all in. Haribo Cola Bottle Sweets, the Manchester
Evening News reported on October 1st. Then Remington,
the gentleman in question, went all in eating
them, finished them off in three evenings. All
10 ,461 calories. A couple days later, terrible
stomach cramps sent him to the hospital where
he was diagnosed with diverticulitis caused by
the gelatin in the candies. After six days of
IV fluids, he went home and hasn't touched a
gummy since. It was my own stupid fault, he said.
Not even eating a cola bottle since, he said.
And this is from England, so I have no idea what
the hell cola bottle candies are. Well, I guess
you don't want to eat a whole bunch of them,
do you? Diverticulitis is no joke. So, all right.
Anyhow, I think that's kind of how I'm going
to end this right here. And everybody, thank
you for listening to this little whatever the
hell it is. And the Mystery Sports Guy will be
back next week. And hopefully Topher and I will
be doing a Sports Bastards, but I don't have
a guarantee over that. So, anyhow, everybody
have a good night. And I will continue to have
fun here in Eureka Springs. And don't forget,
when I get home, I'm going to mix the Crescent.
hotel the most america's most haunted hotel i'm
going to mix that episode up and you're going
to hear a little bit of insight about that and
i think you guys are going to enjoy it thank
you very much thank you have a great night
