Hello, and welcome back to the Extra Spicy Pod.
I'm Landon. I'm Evan. Hello. Nice to meet you
all. Hello, new world. Why are you sounding so
robotic? I am part of the new world. Hello. Are
you an AI robot? Did Elon Musk create you? Beep,
boop, boop. Yes, he did. Okay, bud. Are you going
to go to space with Elon? Explore Mars? I do
plan to go to space in the year 2030. Where's
your off button? I don't know. Let's try to find
it, shall we? No, let's not. I like to be programmed
perfectly fine. Okay, while he keeps up the charade,
I'll explain, you know, kind of the direction
we're going to take this episode. So we're kind
of going to recap the NFL seasons for all the
teams. And we're going to talk about the big
news of Wimby being out the entire rest of the
season. because of blood clots. And then we're
going to dive into the NBA All -Star Game and
say how me and Evan will both give our ideas
on how to improve the All -Star Game. That shit
was trash. Because God knows it is trash. It
needs to be improved. It very much needs to be
improved. Also, some more things. I mean, apparently
New Orleans might get a hockey team? What, what?
That's some crazy stuff. That would be cool.
And then we're also going to play a little game
if we have time. The fantasy NFL game. We're
going to do randomized NFL teams. Both of us
will get our different team. And we're going
to have a fantasy draft. Drafted quarterback,
receiver, running back, and defensive player.
And the tight end. And make fantasy teams. My
team's going to kick your ass. And then finally
we have our doing dumb shit for the week. Which
stay tuned to hear what that's going to be. Um,
and I don't know if Evan's gonna keep the charade
for the whole episode. Are you gonna keep up
the charade? I can do it for the whole episode
if needed. Well, let's see how well that works
then. Nah, fuck that, no. I mean, I could do
it, but no. I'm definitely not gonna do it. Okay,
I'm glad you came back to reality. Just for that,
I might do it the whole episode now. I dare you
to, actually. I dare you to. Nice to meet you
guys. It is me, Evan Marks Evans. Evan, give
your full government name. Give your social security
number. Nope, everybody find me. You know, give
your credit card numbers so people can graciously
accept your donations to their Amazon fund. 9850.
Go fuck yourself. Oh, jeez, Evan. Language over
there. Nope. Anyways, so let's start off with
the first topic. How do we improve the All -Star
game? So, I've been saying this. For years and
years to come. One. I say. Add some playoff.
My thing would either be. Add some playoff implications
to it. Either give them more money. Which I mean.
They're already making a shit ton. Money would
just help. That's why I don't think money is
a good idea. But they're making a shit ton. So
it's like why not add money on top of money.
Like what the fuck. Or. Make it more interesting.
and add a 1v1 turn in it. That would be cool.
And then, what were you saying about the playoff
thing? So, I feel like if you added a playoff
implication, like, like, I don't know, like,
I would have to think of it, but I've heard of
it before, where, like, I think it was, like,
the number one seed on that, like, conference
team gets a buy or some bullshit like that. I
don't know. It's some type of... I forgot what
it is. I will have to do more research on it.
But there is a playoff implication on there.
I feel like that would be much more beneficial
because I don't feel like seeing Luka drop 87
points in an All -Star game with them barely
playing any defense because All -Star stats don't
even matter anymore. Okay, my contrary opinion...
I actually kind of liked the All -Star game from
this year. I mean, you had Kenny, Chuck, and
Shaq pick teams, and then they played a little
tournament to determine the All -Star championship.
I thought that was kind of a cool idea. I liked
it. But here's the thing, though. Here's why
I didn't like it, though. I felt like they pulled
that card out at the wrong time. Like, especially
after last year's All -Star game. Because I was
the one that was the most hated. You just pull
this card out, literally. Well, they're trying
to change things up. They're trying to think
of some new ideas to put in there. I know, but
at the same time, though, I say that'd be more
of your saving card a little bit. That'd be like,
okay, you should have had another idea first
and then had that one. Because I did like that
one a lot. But I feel like more people are just
going to shit on that because now it's like...
watching a bad movie, and then, like, the sequel
comes out, okay? You're going to expect, oh,
the first one wasn't good. The sequel's not going
to be any better. You get what I'm saying? So
that's why I felt like they should have done
another idea before they did that tourney thing,
because that tourney thing was a good idea. Yeah,
I actually kind of liked it. I liked the tourney
idea, but I feel like after the game last year,
people were just going to be like, oh, well,
the All -Star game's still not fun anymore. I
mean... They still barely played defense that
year. I feel like they played harder defense
than they have in the past couple years. Yeah.
That's one thing I will say, though. At least
they didn't put up, like, 157 points this time.
No, I mean, they actually gave effort. Well,
the scoring is different. It's not per time.
Yeah. It's however many points you get. It's,
like, 40 or something points they go to or whatever.
So that's why the All -Star game wasn't, like,
crazy scoring. And another thing, like... They
need to bring back, they need to have Kaitlyn
Clark and Steph Curry shoot threes. Like, wouldn't
that be an amazing idea? Like, that worked last
year with Steph Curry shooting with Sabrina.
Well, the thing is, though, is that they were
going to have Kaitlyn Clark do one. Yeah, she
should have. But she turned it down, though,
because she wanted to do it in the WNBA, though.
Which, I mean... I kind of understand. What do
you mean do it in the WNBA? She wants people
to watch her in the WNBA. Well, that's how you
bring more exposure to the league. Yeah, so that's
why I'm not mad about it. Because she's bringing,
okay, people want to see me in a three -point
contest. Come watch it in the WNBA. No, that's
kind of dumb. She should have done it. Because
if she does it, then she'll bring more eyes to
her and therefore women's basketball. But my
take on that is, I mean, that's not a bad idea,
but at the same time, though, you've got to think,
more people are going to watch the men's All
-Star game. No sexism, no... Is there even a
WNBA... Yeah, there is a WNBA All -Star game.
How many people watch that? It's got to be, like,
less than a million. No hate, no hate. But, I
mean, this past year, though, I mean, they got
a lot more feedback than anything, so I can respect
them on that, but... I do understand where she's
coming from, though. But at the same time, though,
people would like to see, okay, how would you
do against a Steph Curry? Yeah. That would be
more exciting, though. That's what these people
want to see. You think that would just make it
more entertaining? Yeah, I think that would just
make it more entertaining. Because, like I said,
you have the opportunity to see Sabrina, not
Sabrina, Caitlin Clark versus a Steph Curry.
but I heard it was going to be like a two, like
two guys and two girls. So like Sabrina and Caitlin
Clark versus like Steph and someone else. See,
like that would be cool. That would be cool.
I'd be cool. I'd be down to see that. And, but
I mean, from Caitlin's eyes though, I can see
both sides of it because at the same time though,
you're trying to still bring more eyes to the
WNBA. Which, I mean, nothing wrong with that.
I mean, you're practically saving the WNBA right
now. Let's not get it twisted now. The NBA pays
for the WNBA. Yeah. That's the only reason the
Women's Basketball League exists. Mm -hmm. But,
like, just to get more eyes on it, just... Nothing's
wrong with that. Get more eyes on it, get paid
more. They talk about get paid more. Right. How
do you expect to get paid more if you don't draw
more people to watch your league? Because, like,
at least the men's... Like... The men ain't doing
too good right now. We both talked about this,
like, what, last episode? Okay. I mean, they're
doing horrible. It's just down from what it was
before. It used to be, yeah. But until playoff
time. Which, I mean, I feel like now it's going
to start cracking up. We'll see how it comes
to playoff time. It's still not, like, 10 years
ago. It's going to be better. So, we'll see.
I do like the idea of 1v1. And, like, also 2v2.
Either one of them would be pretty cool. Like,
imagine, like, LeBron versus, like, KD. LeBron
versus KD. I feel like Kyrie would win against
that in that 1v1 tournament. The only thing I
feel like I'd be fearing for him is the defense,
though. But I feel like Kyrie or Luka would win
that. I want to see players who have the same
play style play 1v1. Like a Giannis versus Jokic.
Or like a Kyrie versus Klay. Or Kyrie versus
Steph. Like semi -positional battle. Yeah, yeah,
semi -positional, yeah. Well, I feel like Kyrie
would win the positional battle, though. Because
Kyrie can practically... He's like the better...
I'm not going to say... The better defensive
player is probably going to win. I'm going to
say he's like the better defensive player, but
at the same time, though, Steph's a better shooter,
so... Because it's not really fair if, like,
a seven -foot center goes against six, three
-step Curry, you know? I want to see, yeah, positional.
But, I mean, that'd be cool, though. That'd be
cool. Yeah, it would be cool to see, but it's
like. Because, like, I saw a little clip of,
like, Kyrie cooking up Winby in the All -Star
game. Just had Winby dancing out there. Okay,
one other thing I want to mention. The Celebrity
All -Star game. I think we need to get. Higher
up celebs. Yeah. I like these, like, D -list
celebrities. We need to get, like, at least B
-list celebrities. Yeah, like, what happened
to the days where we had Justin Bieber versus
Kevin Hart? Where we had Chris Brown? Yeah, come
on. Now we got, like, we got YouTubers in there?
Yeah, YouTubers and TikTok streamers. We don't
need that in there. I mean, I understand. If
a celebrity's doing a movie or something and
they don't want to get hurt and they get offered
it, okay, just say no. That's cool. Someone in
Hollywood's gonna accept it. Someone. If a Channing
Tatum accepts it, let him fucking play. He accepted
it for a reason. Let him fucking ball out. I
mean, I think it'll be really cool to see high
-level celebrities because these nobodies, I
don't care about this TikTok streamers playing
against each other. Like, I'm not a TikTok person.
He does not have TikTok. I have TikTok, though.
But, like, I don't see, like, big name celebrities.
I'm going to care. I'm going to definitely watch
that game if it's, like, I don't know, big name
movie stars like Channing Tatum or Ryan Gosling
or whoever it is. I'm not going to lie to you.
You should have came down to the celebrity game
with me during Super Bowl week that Thursday.
Because it was Team Tracy McGrady versus Team
Robert Griffin III. I felt like that was actually
a good flag football game. Bro, get big -name
NFL players to come play. I bet they would want
to play. They kind of do. They kind of do. I
mean, they got Miles Garrett a couple years ago.
But that's like every so often. Also, wherever
the host city is, like it was in San Francisco,
let it be San Francisco -themed. Like, get some
of the Niners players on the team and some of
the Giants players, the San Francisco Giants
baseball team players to come play. Like, San
Francisco, like, celebrities. Like, San Francisco
themed. Yeah. But have, like, the court be San
Francisco themed and, like, maybe have, like,
variations in the rules. I can kind of understand
that, but I feel like depending on where it's
located. Let's say they come back to New Orleans
again. New Orleans don't have that many celebrities.
Bro, we have tons of celebrities. What do you
mean? Lil Wayne would play in it. You got...
Lil Wayne would play in it. The NFL players who
would play in it. But you're talking about, like,
Louisiana -based, like... Yeah. We're not talking
about... Because we... What I've noticed about
Louisiana is we don't got no high -list celebrities.
I mean, we got a couple, but we don't got a lot.
But, um... The Falcon. Marvel, The Falcon, Anthony
Mackie. He's a celebrity. I bet he would play.
That's like I said, that's if he's not. Get Ellen
DeGeneres out there playing. Nope. Keep your
ass in England. Bro, come on, Ellen. Keep your
ass in England. Hey, and this is our petition.
NBA. All -star game. Come to New Orleans. I do
want them to come back. Yeah, come. You haven't
came to New Orleans in forever. Like 2017. That
was the last time. It's been too long, man. Look.
You want the Mississippi money, you want the
Arkansas money, you want the Texas money, okay?
You should come back to New Orleans, okay? Look
how the Super Bowl went down. Look at the Super
Bowl, NBA. Open your eyes, NBA. They made a bunch
of fucking money. Open your eyes. Look, New Orleans
should be next. Where's it next? I have no idea.
I would have to look at my phone for the official
Instagram. Because I know as soon as the All
-Star game is on, they post the next location.
Yeah, I know. They probably have the next two
locations down pat right now. Probably. But,
yeah. Come back to New Orleans. That's all I
got to say. Yes. And have local celebrities host
it, like I was saying. I think that would be
a big draw for the local crowd. If you want to
make it a big thing. And you can have special
parties for... Like, some people. Bro, imagine,
okay, last year, right? It was in Indianapolis.
Imagine if Pat McAfee hosted the NBA All -Star
Game. Like, that'd be lit. I'm just talking about
events around the city. Like, you know how we
went down to New Orleans and they had the Shaq's
Fun House, like, Icy Area thing? Yeah. We could
just do that again. Like, that type of stuff
again. Just different things. Like, you can make
a fuck ton of money in New Orleans. Oh, yeah,
you can. So... Why not come to New Orleans, make
your bread, and then get the fuck on out of here?
And then come back in another eight to ten years.
I don't know how long you'd come back for. You
know what? Just keep it in New Orleans every
year. That'd be lit. That would be lit. But New
Orleans needed some. All right, we ready for
the next topic? Yeah, sure. What are we going
to dive into now? Yeah, let's stick with NBA
and talk about Wimby. Yeah. This whole Wimby
situation. I mean, I was... I went from excited
to watch Spurs game, hoping they'd get in the
playoffs so I could win me in the playoffs. And
now I'm like... Fuck, never mind. What the hell?
I mean, might as well cancel the whole Spurs
season. Let's just cancel every Spurs game. I'm
not going to say cancel the Spurs season. I mean,
they're already... I'm not going to say they're
doing bad because... They're going to drop in
the standings. They are going to drop in standings
because, again, they're centered. They're already
not in Plow Visit. Position with Wendy. So without
one me, I thought that work. No, they were like
the 12th seed. Oh, well, with the, bro, I thought
that they loved in the 12th seed. I thought they
were doing good. Cause again, I've heard like,
there's a lot of good teams in the West. So it's
like, yeah, compete in the West. Believe me.
I don't know. Well, your team is in close to
compete. You're bottom of the West, bro. Hey,
we, we compete for something else. Fuck all that.
But if Cooper Flack... Cooper Flack will go to
the Spur area? No, no, no. If he returns to Duke,
I'm going to be pissed. Oh, return to Duke? I'll
be excited. Nah, because fucking... Whatever,
they have a... Imagine New Orleans gets the one
pick, but Cooper Flack has to return to college.
I wouldn't be mad with Ace Bailey, though. Ace
Bailey or Dylan Harper. I wouldn't be mad with
either one. But if he does return to fucking
Duke, I wouldn't be mad. But at the same time,
though, fucking why? Just why? Because he wants
to play for college again. I mean, other than
your season. Yeah, but it's fucking Duke, okay?
Your Coach K is not there anymore, so. You know
what? I'm going to get Duke's sweatshirt and
wear it next episode of The Pod. Well, I like
Duke basketball. I like Duke basketball. He's
my favorite player in college basketball because
he's white. Just kidding. Not just because he's
white. But he plays cool. I don't know, bro.
You already said Nico was a diversity hire. Look,
look, bro. How do you trade Luca away? That man's
in over his head. Look, bro, look. You can't
get us canceled, okay, bro? I would like to keep
this podcast going as long as possible. You just
can't keep... Look, I'm more likely to get us
canceled than you. You saying all these comments
are more likely to get us canceled than me. How
does that make sense? I'm the dumb one. Wow,
you admitted it. You're right, but you're doing
the dumb shit, though. So what the fuck did that
make you? Well, that's funny. Okay, everyone
heard that, right? Evan admitted he's the dumb
one. And you knew I was going to do that when
you came out of your mouth, right? You knew I
was going to say this. Guys, if this podcast
gets 15 likes, I will punch Flanagan in the gut.
How are they going to like a podcast? I don't
know. They could like it on Spotify, YouTube.
I don't care. Whatever. Okay. If it's on YouTube
and I see 15 likes, I'm getting a glove. Have
you even looked at the YouTube channel before?
I've looked at it a little bit. It's been a while
though. I don't know. I'm pretty sure the podcast
episode is automatically linked to the YouTube
channel. Because I haven't looked in a hot minute
either. I used to make videos on there, like
solo videos, but we'll try to make together videos
like shorter, like 15. 10 to 15 minute videos,
just like raw takes and stuff. Oh, we also got
to talk about... So, we also said the cameras
were going to be on this episode, but they're
going to be on the next episode, okay? Look,
look, look, look. We haven't had time. Landon
hasn't had time to look at the software and everything.
I'm working all the time. So, Landon's going
to get a nice little break. He's going to look
at the software, be like, okay. I understand
it now. Like Lethal Shooter. Like Lethal Shooter?
I understand it now. The next episode, however
many fucking episodes we decide to do with this,
we're going to be on camera. Like the Dr. Dre
song in the next episode. In the next episode.
Alright, but back to Wendy. Back to Wendy. I
was kind of sad because I was going to buy tickets
to go see Spurs. Yeah, they played. What, tonight?
They played tonight, yeah. Yeah. But... In New
Orleans. Because they had the baby race. The
baby crawl race. Oh. Because that was the one
thing they were posting about the fucking baby
crawl race. But fucking... This one kid just
literally dominated the whole fucking race. Just
one kid just crawled across there. He was a winner.
But... I was very sad. Because I do like Wimby.
But... Do I think it could be the end for him?
I'm not going to say the end. I feel like he's
got maybe like one, maybe two more seasons. The
end? What are you talking about? Because it developed
that type of injury, the vein. The blood clots.
He got blood clots. Yeah. It can develop into
blood clots. If he doesn't get blood clots, then
I see him going the rest of his career. If he
does get blood clots. I thought he had blood
clots. I thought that's why he doesn't. He has
vein thrombosis. It can develop blood clots,
though. You know, okay, Chris Bosh, he played
for the Heat. That's the reason he retired early,
because he developed blood clots. And so did
I. This is what scares me about Wimby, because
Chris Bosh, you know, Miami Heat, you know, got
us those four finals, part of the big three,
right? I mean, and he, in 2014, after LeBron
left, We still had a good team. And we were still
going to compete. But then he had to sit out
for the rest of the season with blood clots.
And then it turned out he retired mid -season
or after the season. So that's what scares me
about Wimby. Because I love watching Wimby. He's
my favorite player to watch. Top five players
to watch. There you go again. Yeah, not favorite.
Top five non -heat players to watch. Yeah, I
mean. But I do feel like if he does get blood
clots, then that's going to be the end for him.
I don't want him to get blood clots. I hope he
doesn't, though. I pray he doesn't. That really
fucks the Spurs' whole plan if he gets blood
clots. That does. I really do believe, though,
if Wimpy... Wimpy is a talent to where... He
can change the projectory of a team Because we've
never seen a seven -footer just shoot threes
or dribble like a guard Well, of course he's
gonna change the trajectory of the team like
he's Fucking wimpy. Yeah, he's amazing. But like
for him to get but it's kind of like I'm not
gonna say a Zion thing Because if he does continue
to get this type of injury, then... Okay. Yes.
We understand it, Landon. Okay. He's actually
like the fifth fastest player to 5 ,000 points.
Get your facts straight. And he's barely played
any games. I don't want to hear that shit. Anyways.
So... Yeah. If... He does continue like this,
then... I'm going to be very sad for him. Assuming
Cooper flag... go straight to the NBA, what team
would you like to see him go to besides your
team? Okay, you can't say your team. If the Pelicans
weren't included, what team would you want Cooper
Flagg to go to? Hand me my phone first so I can
look at all the teams. You don't know all the
teams? Well, it's not just looking at the teams.
It's more of, like, the records. Because if I'm
going to pick a team, I'm going to be realistic.
I'm not going to say fucking Boston. Right. oh
yeah okay like the jazz have a terrible record
the wizards have let's see the pelicans out well
you can't beat pelicans let's see for the east
is brooklyn philly toronto charlotte washington
then in the west new orleans utah portland san
antonio phoenix okay so do you want me to pick
one uh east and one west yeah you can Well, one
West, other than the Pelicans. Then you can't
pick your team. I mean, him and either Phoenix
or San Antonio would be good. Phoenix is out
of playoffs right now? Yeah, they're 11. Oh,
dang. Yeah. So, either Phoenix or San Antonio,
that'd be kind of cool. Other than the Pelicans.
San Antonio. So, like, him and Wimby. Imagine
that. Wimby retires, and then they just get Cooper
flagged. Yeah. Or, like, imagine Wimby doesn't
retire, and he gets to play with Cooper flagged.
Like, that'd be such a fun thing. All right,
and the Eastern Conference? In the East, yeah.
Either Charlotte or Philly? Obviously, you know,
I don't want to go to Philly, because then I
can't be a Cooper flagged fan. And I guess Charlotte
would be cool, I guess. But, like, I'll... Going
to Brooklyn, Brooklyn is just the most mid, no
one cares about team at all. No one cares about
the Nets. And also the Wizards. Those are two
irrelevant teams. That's why I don't see if he
did. I mean, realistically. He could change the
teams around, though, if he goes to those teams.
But here's why I say either Philly or Charlotte.
Charlotte, you get to play with LaMelo Ball.
You're going to get open so much with LaMelo,
as long as he doesn't get hurt. Because he's
in the same boat with Zion. He's been staying
healthy this season, except for that one little
ankle roll. But he came back, though. But...
And then Philly, I feel like... Please, please,
please. I'm going to pray tonight and pray every
single night to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please don't go to Philly. Please don't go to
Philly. Yeah, that's what I want to ask Jesus
about. Please. Please do it. Please don't let
him do it. Oh shit, the Pelicans beat the Spurs.
That's crazy. So, uh, here's why I say Philly,
okay? Because I feel like the end of Paul George
is near. And I, and I, and I, It's very near.
I like Paul. Very, very near. I like prime Paul
George too. I liked him on the Pacers. And then
the Thunder was cool. The prime 27. And then
when he went to a club, he was kind of less cool.
And now he's not cool at all. Yeah. On the Sixers.
Well, he's a certified Sixers hater, but. I am
certified. But me growing up playing 2K17 and
just having him on the cover, I thought, man,
this dude's only good. I played with him a little
bit on 2K. I was killing everybody. That was
2K17. That was my best years. But I feel like
the end of Paul George is going to be near. And
if they just so happen to get the pick, because,
you know, it's not the worst team gets the worst.
It's the number one pick. It's a lottery. So,
if Philly does end up landing it, Paul George
might as well just retire. Because, one, he's
always hurt now. And then, yeah, he's always
hurt. Might as well retire. You gotta fuck down
on money. Nike paying him a good bit. Nike is
paying him a good bit, yeah. So... So if he did
retire, I wouldn't be surprised. Just making
that money. I miss Wendy. R .I .P. R .I .P. Okay,
moving on. Do you want to do the NFL thing before
we talk about anything else? No, we'll do that
later. Or I was going to say when I have my phone
in my hand right now. Okay, well, yeah. Now we're
going to make our fantasy NFL teams with that.
So both of us are going to get random teams,
and then we'll have to select quarterback, running
back, receiver, tight end, and then defensive
player. And obviously, you know, my team's going
to win, because I'm going to have some, like,
good -ass picks over here. All right, so I'm
going to keep a list. Yeah. Right now. All right,
so I'm going to get rid of my Sonic food menu.
Oh, geez. You like the Sonic. Well, I had a gift
card. My aunt gave me a gift card and I was like,
I have to go use it. Evan's team? Landon's team?
Alright, so hold on. Quarterback? In the meanwhile,
I'll just talk about how as the NFL season descended,
let's reminisce on, you know, that Super Bowl
champion, Philadelphia Eagles. Are we doing two?
Calm down. Are we doing two wide receivers or
are we doing one? Let's do two. Why not? Two
wide receivers, running back, quarterback, and
defense player. Just one defense player. I thought
we were just doing defenses. No, defense player.
I'm over here eating my corn dog. You can't see
it because we don't have cameras yet, baby. All
right, so. So who's picking first, me or you?
Like when we do the spin -off. Or are we playing
rock, paper, scissors? Yeah, let's play rock,
paper, scissors. Rock, paper, scissors. Suck
it. All right, go ahead. All right, so. The first
spin. is Chicago Bears. So, with my first pick.
You can't look up NFL players. You have to know
them off the top of your head. I know players
by heart. Alright, okay. Give me DJ Moore. DJ
Moore, okay. I don't want Kayla Williams. Oh,
you're certified Kayla Payton? Yeah, I'm certified
Kayla Payton. Alright, I see you. I see you.
Okay. Alright, make my spin. Let's spin it. Wait,
oh, I thought we were picking from the same team.
And then... Oh, no, we each get a different team.
Okay. Alright, so it's spinning right now. What's
my team gonna be? You got the Texans. Houston
Texans! Give me... Give me Joe Mixon. What the
fuck? Okay. Yeah, if he had a solid... Bro, he
was one of the top 500 Texans later this season.
He was really good this season. Was he not? He
was good. He was good until he got hurt. I'm
kind of weary on him because of his last season.
I would have picked Nico Collins. You know what
else we should do? Offensive line. No. That'd
be kind of cool though. Both lines aren't sexy.
Both lines aren't sexy. Both lines especially.
It's not sexy. But we're going to need someone
to defend our quarterback. All right. It's not
sexy. My pick. My pick. Let's see who we get
first. The Raiders. The Raiders. Give me Brock
Bowers. Oh. I have those next to me. Shit. You
think I was going to forget about Brocky Boy?
I thought you were going to surprise me. That's
who I would have guessed. I thought about it.
That's who I would have guessed. Brock Bowers
was the top tight end this year. No, no. You
should have went Aiden O 'Connell, baby. Hell
no. All right. Let's see. What team am I going
to get? The Vikings. Minnesota Vikings. Give
me Jay Jettis. Justin Jefferson. Certified fresh
out of LSU, baby. Purple and gold for life. It's
his sixth year in the league. Oh. Who you got?
The New Orleans Saints. The New Orleans Saints.
Who you picking, bro? We really don't got a lot.
Give me AK. Yeah. I would have picked AK, yeah.
All right. Okay. All right. All right. Who we
got? Jacksonville. Jacksonville Jaguars? Oof.
Oh, give me Brian Thomas Jr. The man we met,
baby. Let's go. My team is LSU, baby. My team
is all LSU. We actually met Brian Thomas Jr.
while we were down there. Shout out to Brian
Thomas Jr., bro. Shout out to him for answering
my question, too. Shout out, shout out, shout
out. All right. Yeah, tell him what you asked
him. So, okay, my pick is the Packers, but I'm
going to explain the story real quick. So, me
and Landon woke up early in the morning on Sunday.
So we were going to go to the Guy Fieri tailgate,
but then I was like, Landon, let's go meet Brian
Thomas Jr. Like, wouldn't that be cool to meet
him? Landon's like, I guess. And so Landon hops
in the car with me. We go to Dick's Sporting
Goods. I hop in line really quick because I see
people lining up real quick. Because it was only
like, only 75 people can meet him. I think everyone
in the line got a card, though. Yeah, everyone
that got the wristband got a card. Yeah. But
they only had, like, 75, like, on money. If you
didn't get there early enough, they said, fuck
you, get out. Yeah. So, me and Lena got there
early, which, thankfully, we did. We got there,
like, an hour before. Yeah, we got there early,
because I was trying to figure out, like, where
everything was and shit. So, we got there early.
We got our wristbands. And so, I do have a video
of, like, the dude asking him a question. Like,
what do you want to tell all these kids that
are, like, in here? I do got that video. But
when me and Landon are standing in line, and
so when it's my turn, I ask him, hey, bro, because
we've both seen the James Winston video. Yeah,
that James Winston. I go, hey, man, have you
been on Shahid Kahid's yacht yet? He was like,
oh, no, I haven't. But maybe when I get back
to Jacksonville, I'll get on it. I was like.
Hell, yeah, mr. Conn if you're listening to this
let it left right in time with that. Yeah, let's
let the man That's literally your offense right
now on that fucking yacht Let him let you know,
please let him on that. Yeah, he deserves to
be elected All right, so I got the Packers and
uh, Jordan love yeah I Mean that's it's pretty
easy pick dad. Jordan's pretty good I used to
be a Jordan Love hater. But now I'm like, you
know, he's all right. You got Tampa. Tampa Bay
Bucks. Let's see. I'm tied in. I got quarterback
and I got defensive player. I guess I mean Baker.
Yeah, I like Baker. You kind of have to go with
Baker at that point. Yeah, I kind of like Baker,
bro. Baker's solid. So I have another wide receiver
and defensive left. Okay, we both had defensive.
Yeah. Jets. New York Jets. That's your team,
bro. That's your team. That is my team. Well,
I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. Do
I want to risk it and say Devontae Adams? Well,
no. The defense sucks. Fuck no. Devontae Adams.
Give me Devontae Adams. Devontae? Oh, okay. No,
Devontae Adams is good. But over, uh, really?
Devontae's washed. No, Devontae Adams, like,
when he was on the Raiders, he sucked because
who the fuck was throwing him the ball? As soon
as he got to New York... Well, what about the
other Jets? Oh, Garrett Wilson? Yeah, would you
not go Garrett Wilson? Well, he started declining
when Devontae got there, so it's kind of like,
okay. Well, of course, because Rob just wouldn't
always throw Devontae. But it's... Rob just wouldn't...
Throw it to Devontae or everyone else. He would
force balls to Devontae. But it's a would you
rather Garrett Wilson do good in the beginning
but then suck at the end? Or Devontae Adams do
terrible in the beginning but do good in the
end? But why did Devontae do great? Because Rodgers
would force the ball to Devontae. Would he not?
It's Devontae Adams. Would he not? It's Devontae
Adams. Okay. We're picking Devontae. One of the
best runners that there is. Anyways, so. Let's
see. Who's my team? You got the Lions. I got
the Detroit Lions. Give me Aiden Hutchinson,
baby. Aiden Hutchinson? Yeah, Aiden Hutchinson.
And now you have a defense player left. I got
tight end left. This is kind of hard for me because
I don't know every single team's tight end. Let's
see who the fuck I get. Who you got? New York.
Oh, New York Giants. Big defense player, right?
Obvious, right? What, Dexter Lawrence? That's
not who I would pick, no. Who the fuck were you
thinking of? I'm not going to take now. Well,
New York doesn't have any good defensive players.
They didn't. No. Well, They don't have any, like,
good linebackers or cornerbacks. Well, you don't
have to be a linebacker or cornerback. You have
someone on defense. Just someone on defense so
I could just pick the defensive head coach? No.
Like... Yeah, who's the defensive head coach
of the Giants? Can you name... Defensive coordinator,
my bad. Off the top of your head, can you name
the defensive coordinator? I cannot. Dexter...
I think he's still on the team. Dexter Lawrence?
Wait, no. Ryan Burns. Ryan Burns? Okay. Because,
yeah, he got traded from Carolina. To the Giants?
Mm -hmm. Okay. I would have watched Kayvon Thibodeau.
Thank you. No, bro, you already picked, bro.
You already picked. You can't. Kayvon. You can't.
I was going to help you out because I was either
going to tell you for the Lions, either Sam Laporta
or Aiden Hutchinson, but you were so quick to
pick Aiden Hutchinson. I was like. No, bro, you
can't do that now. Thibodeau. Bro, you are. Well,
cuz you gotta think it's the fucking Giants.
I'm gonna help you out with fucking if you get
a shitty team Okay, you're gonna help me out
next time then. Yeah, I mean, I mean I only got
one player the tight end You got Jackson will
go I got Jackson over Terrible Don't worry, don't
worry Oh, you got Evan Ingram. Yeah, Evan Ingram.
That's who it is. He's not bad. He's not bad.
He's not bad. I can't name every team's head
off the top of my head. But I knew Evan Ingram
played the Jaguars. See, I helped you out on
that one. That's fair game. I did know Evan Ingram.
Yeah, so we helped each other out. Okay, that's
different. You did not know Evan Ingram. I could
have let you struggle with Evan Ingram. I would
have eventually got it. No, no. Maybe 30 seconds
later. No, no. As soon as you heard Jacksonville,
your mind went blank. Don't lie. With some teams,
I legit would not know who the tight end is.
Like, I don't know who the Seahawks tight end
is. I don't know. No offense. Like, yeah. I wouldn't
know that. And I wouldn't know, like, the Bears
tight end. That's like Robert Twins, I think.
Yeah, I don't know. I would have got the Jaguars.
I really would. So let's go over our teams. So
I have Jordan Love as my starting quarterback.
Alvin Kamara as my running back. DJ Moore as
my wide receiver. Devontae Adams as my wide receiver,
too. Titan Brock Bowers and defense Kayvon Thibodeau
as my defense. That's a good team. It's not bad.
If you won't count Kayvon, then I'm getting Dexter.
Either Brian Burns or Dexter Lawrence. Either
one. Then your team, you got Baker, Justin Jefferson,
Brian Thomas, Evan Ingram, Aiden Hutchinson.
Let's go position by position. Who has the better
quarterback, receiver, and rec? I got better
quarterback. Really? Jordan? I would say they're
on the same level. I feel like... I would say
Jordan Love Baker is on the same level. They
both kind of disappoint sometimes, and they both
play great sometimes. I say Jordan Love. I say
Jordan Love better than Baker. I feel like Baker's,
like, Jordan Love's right here, but Baker's,
like, right there. Like, not very problematic.
Yeah. Okay, I'll agree with you on that. They
wouldn't be a strong Jordan Love. They would
be, like, slightly. Yeah. So it's not like you
have a, like, super better than mine quarterback.
Yeah. So then. So it's kind of the same. Running
back Alvin Kamara versus Joe Mixon. Are we going
off of this season or like? No, current. Yeah,
current. I'd say Joe Mixon. Yeah, Joe Mixon.
Yeah. I love Alvin Kamara, obviously, by a Saints
fan, but I'm going Joe Mixon over Kamara. I don't
know. Then DJ Moore versus Justin Jefferson.
Justin Jefferson, obviously. Oh, yeah. Because
fucking DJ Moore's offensive coordinator sucked
it. Yeah. So then. Jay does. Shoot. We got Brian
Thomas Jr. versus Devontae Adams. Brian Thomas.
Yeah, Brian Thomas. Then, Evan Ingram versus
Brock Bowers. Brock out Bowers. Fucking kills.
Brock Bowers. Yeah. And then, Aiden Hutchinson
versus... To be fair, the title wasn't my last
pick. So, I mean... Then you have Kayvon Thibodeau
versus Aiden Hutchinson. Aiden Hutchinson all
day. No! What are you... Really? He played like
four games, bro. He's the most dominant defense...
You got a defense alignment. He broke his foot,
bro. We're counting this season, remember? Okay,
counting this season. The four games he played,
he dominated. Don't care. Broke his foot. Oh,
are you kidding me? Don't care. Broke his foot.
Either way, that leaves us tied. Okay, I have
two better receivers and a better running back.
Yeah, that's three versus my better quarterback,
my better tight end, and my better defense, bro.
You do not have a better defensive player. Bro.
Your player did not play. Let's look this up.
In a vacuum, who is better right now? Aiden Hutchinson
or Kayvon Thibodeau? Who would you take? If you're
drafting players, would you rather take Kayvon
Thibodeau on the board or Aiden Hutchinson? He
got hurt week six. It's like less than that.
Okay. Again, if you're drafting players. Yeah,
if we were drafting players, but at the same
time... Exactly, bro. But at the same time...
It doesn't admit defeat. But you talked about
this season, though. It doesn't admit defeat,
bro. But if we looked up the stats this season,
whose stats are going to be better? Why? I don't
think Caden Hutchinson might have better stats.
We're, like, not that far behind. It's not going
to be that far behind. It's Caden. Exactly. It's
Caden. Not that far behind, exactly. But Kayvon
Tippett is still going to have better stats.
He played more games. So therefore... You've
got to be kidding me. Therefore... Oh my gosh,
I hate you. Well, either way, we're still fucking
tied, motherfucker. No, not either way. If my
defense is better, then I win. No, you do not
have a better defense. Aiden Hutchinson did not
play... Take the L. Here, take this L, bud. Take
this L. No, because if he played... At least
like 12 games. Kayvon Thibodeau probably played
how many games? I don't know. I don't know. Bro,
you cannot tell me Kayvon Thibodeau is a better
defense player than Aiden Hutchinson. You're
not going to make me believe that. Ever. You
don't want to admit defeat. Look at this. What?
Kayvon Thibodeau. Has started all 31 regular
season games and two postseason games. When the
fuck did the Giants beat the Vikings? Last year.
Or the year before. They played the Vikings.
And they beat the Vikings. Oh, yeah. That was
fucking... When they had Daniel Jones versus
Rick Cousins. Yeah, I remember that now. But,
yeah, either way, he has played all of his games.
So, therefore... Better stats. My God. Okay,
what do you want to do? A tiebreaker then? What
would the tiebreaker be? Head coach. Okay, I'm
down for that. This might be my words of regret.
You might get the Chiefs and I might get the
Panthers. If you don't know, then like... I mean,
if it's like the Panthers and you don't know
their fucking head coach. I know every team's
head coach. Yeah, but you would already be losing
right there. So, I mean. Yeah. I mean, well,
the deal is tiebreaker. But if it's stupid, then
we're not going to count it. Oh, we're not going
to count it? Well, we're not going to count it
either way. This is just for fun. Oh, now it's
just for fun. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Okay.
You said you're going first? Yeah. Bruh. Bruh.
You got fucking Dan Campbell. Fuck. Yeah. This
is not for fun. This is for real. Please give
me the cheese. Or give me the Eagles. Jaguars.
What is it? I got the Titans. Yeah, baby. That's
it. Game over. Don't worry. We're going to run
it back with the NBA. Don't worry. We're going
to run it back with the NBA. Running back with
the NBA? Not this episode. Yeah. We're going
to do this. We're going to make this a recurring...
Oh, excuse me. Who? We're going to make this
a recurring thing every episode. Do this fantasy.
You want to? Yeah, I'm down for that. This is
a fun little game, wasn't it? Mm -hmm. Yeah.
All right, so now what's next on the agenda?
We're going to go team by team and give a short
little review of how their season went, right?
Okay. So we're going to start off with literally
just looking at the wheel. Titans. Tennessee
Titans. They got better in the offseason, but
Will Levis lost to them a bunch of games, which
they should have won. They should have been probably
a 7 or 8 -1 team, if not for Will Levis. If they
had a better quarterback, they would have been
7 or 8 -1s. Because they had Calvin Ridley and
they had DeAndre Hopkins. Not DeAndre Hopkins.
They didn't even have... Yeah, they do. Who do
they have? They have Calvin Ridley and Julio
Jones, right? No, who do they have? Julio Bingle.
It's just Calvin Ridley, bro. They have another
big -name receiver. I'm pretty sure. Oh, they
had DeAndre before he got traded to the Chiefs.
Yeah, yeah, that's a video. Yeah, they had DeAndre
and Calvin Ridley. Practically hit it on the
head. I do believe Will Lovis is garbage. Well,
okay. I still believe in Will Lovis before the
season, but now I've officially been done with
Will Lovis. Yeah. Because they would have won,
like I said, seven or eight games if not for
Will Lovis. Now, the funny pictures, though,
that just kind of showed. I mean, that's an NFL
lore right there. Just... NFL lore. Okay, next
game. If you would have just chased them down,
then that would have been cool. All right. Chiefs.
Super Bowl runners -up. Did it again. Should
they have been there? No. They're... They should
have won probably 12 games. Or 11 games this
season. Yeah, they should have won 11. But they're
going to be in cap hell, so I'm not really worried
about them. All right. Chargers. Chargers. Disappointed
in the playoffs. John Herbert's good as usual,
but he's overrated. They got Jim Hubbard. So
they're going to get a defensive and running
back -led team. But it's the first season for
Jim Hubbard. I'm actually excited. You know,
Jim. Got the charges off to the playoffs and
a good footing. Next year, they're going to be
even better. They're going to win the division
next year. Yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just not a
disappointment. I'm not going to say disappointment,
but they did better than what they were expected.
I'm going to say this. No, I'm not going to say
that. They have Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert.
Two of the best quarterback and head coaches
in the league. Like, they were expected to make
the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, but. And they did.
But they also had some people, like, you know,
like making the, not really making the playoffs,
but like. Still had a positive win record, but
still missed the playoffs. No. Well, I didn't
think that. I knew they were going to make the
playoffs. They disappointed in the playoffs.
They had a meltdown versus Houston. But that's
Houston now. Houston got a good season. Houston
didn't have a great season. Bro. That O -line
of Houston is not good. It's not good, but at
the same time, though, look at their defense.
Cedar Shroud disappointed this season. Their
receivers got hurt. Nico Collins was out. I mean,
Houston didn't have – they didn't live up to
expectations of what some people thought they
would live up to. I'll say that. I feel like
Houston could have been better. You're giving
a review of the Texans now? Yeah, definitely.
I'm not literally going within the list. Texans,
I felt like, like you said, the offensive line
could have been better, but their defense was
fucking monstrous, I feel like. once everybody
comes back they had 22 and a half sacks like
average like in like half the season I think
some bullshit like that it was it was pretty
crazy but I do believe once they get all their
pieces healed up and everything especially take
Dell which he won't be back to like not this
season but next season they'll they'll be good
they'll be better next season yeah But hopefully
they know the draft and offensive line and then
let CJ go. Yeah, draft every offensive line they
can. Exactly. Because that was their weakness.
All right, Broncos. Broncos. Wait, also the Chiefs
need to draft every offensive line they can.
Because the Chiefs need offensive line bad. Nah,
see, Chiefs got what they deserve coming to them.
See, they don't deserve no offensive line. Okay,
Broncos. Broncos? Surprise me. I thought Bo Nix
was going to be anything. I thought Bo Nix was
going to be above. But Sean Payton had his guy
with Bo Nix, and their offense looks pretty good.
They're just going to get more offense players
next year, so they're just going to get better
and better next year. So, next team, Raiders.
Raiders suck. I'm going to say this. I knew Brock
Bowers was going to be fucking great, and knew
fucking the Raiders were going to fucking suck.
I didn't know Brock Brown was going to be great.
Because I don't pay attention to college football
like that. But, yeah, I did know the Rays were
going to suck. They have Gordon Minchu, Aiden
O 'Connell. I think Gordon Minchu's permits are
done in this league. Aiden O 'Connell doesn't
have anywhere to be in this league. He needs
to get off that team. He's not good. He can be
a backup for somewhere. I knew Brock Bowers was
going to be good because whenever I was doing
research for my fantasy team, I was watching
and they were like, you need to draft Brock Bowers.
And so... I'm like, okay, convince me to draft
this rookie over like Travis Kelsey. But then
he did. And so he was like, you got to think,
they're having Brock Bowers line up in the backfield,
almost like as a running back kind of. And I'm
like, oh, okay. So that's kind of crazy to think
of, almost like an Aaron Hernandez type thing.
But I do believe Brock Bowers is the shining
point. Almost like Brian Thomas is over there.
On that team. And Max Crosby. Max Crosby and
Max Crosby. Max Crosby's going to leave though.
All right. Well, we'll see. He won't leave if
they get a good draft. Next team. Rams. Well,
I'll send this Rams. I think they met or exceeded.
Met or exceeded expectations. I feel like they
met expectations. Because again, I think at first
they were like 0 -4. yeah for me actually they
exceeded expectations yeah i didn't expect them
to be in the division of the playoffs so i felt
like uh all the pieces were there i think like
just the defense i i i helped my i actually have
my boy win some money whenever they were playing
the vikings yeah they just need to improve the
defense when when the vikings were playing the
rams in the playoffs i told everybody or i told
the rams i told everybody in my work i'm like
hey bro Cooper Cup playing. Puka Nakua playing.
Patrick Williams playing. Take the Rams. Take
the Rams. My boy won $120 -something on that.
He put like $60 down. I'm like, hey, you're a
smart man. Pick with me next time. Wait, do we
think Matthew Stafford's going to leave the Rams?
Maybe. I don't know. I'd have to think about
that one. I don't think he will. All right. I
don't know. Cooper Cup might leave too. Well,
they talk about trading Cooper Cup, so. Yeah.
All right. New Orleans Saints. I can have like
a 30 -minute rant on this one, which obviously
we don't have time for right now. Maybe next
episode I'll give this rant. But right now, I'll
just say for two games, we were Super Bowl bound.
And then everything fell off. And that's how
very disappointing. Just say disappointing. I'll
give my rant next episode. I haven't read it.
All right, New England Patriots. I didn't expect
them to be good. Gerard Mayo got fired. He was
a terrible head coach. He should have never been
the head coach. Drake May looks pretty good,
actually. He probably should have started from
week one. They didn't want to shelf dock him.
I mean, I understand. No, start him week one.
Like, this is stupid. I understand. I understand.
That would be better next season, with Drake
May starting a reading. I understand why they
didn't start him. They have. They have pieces
to be a mid -team next season. I'll say that.
I do feel like they should have played Drake
May a little bit. Not just sit him out for, like,
six weeks. No, they should have. I feel like.
Maybe week three. I'll give them week three.
I'm not going to say, like, put him in there.
Like, just start him in there. I feel like just
work his way in there. He's not getting better.
He's sitting on the bench. But at the same time.
Yeah, it's getting better, Brian. But, but, but,
but, but, hear me out, though. But, but, but,
but, but, but. Fuck you. Anyways. Language. Fuck
you. Anyways. Language. Fuck you. Language. Fuck
you. Let me speak. Okay, fuck you. Language.
Fuck you. Anyways. Oh, my God. Anyways. So, here's
what I'm saying. It's cool to play your quarterback.
I'm not going to start him the whole game. But
because I don't want to I don't want him to get
shell -shocked because I mean look at Caleb Williams
He looked like he was running for his life. He
was scared for his life. He was kind of better
as the season went on Yeah, but that was after
so did Jane Daniels so did Bo Nix, but I was
after your show thought though for Caleb Williams
Oh Jane Daniels. I didn't think Jane Daniels
got better as a season, but he did but I'm gonna
say this so I felt like It would have been smarter,
like, let's say you had Jacoby Brissett start,
and then maybe, like, in minute trash time, just
put Drake May out there. Give him some playing
time. Don't just sit him out the whole season.
We can have a debate on that in a future episode.
Should teams play their rookie quarterback or
sit them? You know, we should have that debate.
All right. Dallas Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys. I
mean, we had a bunch of injuries on the Cowboys
that got injured. How about them Cowboys? A bunch
of players did get injured, so I can understand
why they're disappointed. Trash. They have a
very annoying fan base, so a part of me was happy
to see them fail. Well, trash. You're going to
love the next team. Philadelphia Eagles. Super
Bowl champs. Yeah, Super Bowl champs. I mean,
what can we say? I mean, they're the Super Bowl
champs. Obviously, the best team in the NFL because
they won the Super Bowl. They dismantled the
Chiefs. They dismantled pretty much every team
they've been in playoffs. They had a dominant
regular season, led by Saquon Brophy and a great
defense. Great team. Nick Ciarani isn't it, though.
I'll say that. Seattle Seahawks. Seattle. Seattle's...
the most mid -team you can get. Yeah, they could
be. Because they win against good teams, and
then they'll lose against good teams, and then
they'll win against bad teams, and then they'll
lose against bad teams. Yeah, mid. They're the
most mid -team. And Geno Smith isn't going to
get you anywhere, by the way. They need to get
a new quarterback, because Geno Smith isn't the
end. I wouldn't say get rid of Geno Smith. I
say develop around Geno Smith, because I feel
like Jackson Smith did his thing. You have...
Solid player. You've had solid players on the
Seahawks for years now, but Geno Smith just has
a ceiling, and he's not going to take you in
the playoffs. If they want to be a serious title
contender, get a really good quarterback. All
right. Green Bay Packers. Green Bay. I mean,
they had a good season. They had a really good
season, and then they got to the playoffs, and
all their receivers got hurt. So it's expected
that they lost to Philly the way they did. Look,
see, I was a longtime fan. The Packers organization.
You were. I know what they're going to do. They're
going to draft a defensive player in next year's
draft. No, they're not. They're going to draft
a receiver. Not in the first round? Yeah. No,
not in the first round. I'll make a bet on it.
Do you? Landon, the year that Aaron Rodgers literally
won MVP. Because they didn't like Rodgers. No.
The Packers did not like Aaron Rodgers. That's
why they never got him. It should, for 15 years?
Yeah. The man brought you a Super Bowl and you
don't like him. The man had beef with the team
owners. The team management. Dude, this man brought
you a Super Bowl. I'm not telling you the man
didn't have beef with the team management. The
man brought you a Super Bowl. The man literally
sat out every offseason because he had so much
beef with them. No, he didn't. All right. Green
Bay, they did pretty good. New York. We don't
even need to speak on New York. Trash. What?
The Giants? I mean, the Jets have trashed, too.
Yeah, we were disappointing, too. I mean, that's
just to cover both New York teams. They're just
trash. Well, the Jets, I feel like... A failure.
The Jets, failure. That's my word for the Jets.
Failure. Just like the Saints. But at the same
time, though, I thought... Okay, no. The thing
is, the Jets had expectations. They did. Expectational
failure. But, yeah. But at the same time, though,
I felt like some of this shit... could have been
fixed like if it was all due to one thing and
that one thing it was aaron rogers no it was
not aaron rogers okay most of the most of the
time it was fucking greg the leg that motherfucker
couldn't kick he had he had one good kick that
i've seen and that was against the saints of
the no call game you know a damn lie but but
other than that you're an asshole for bringing
that game up by the way good good let me let
me explain my point but I felt like there was
going to be something, that one major thing that
happens that makes us lose every single game.
Like, for example, the one internet interception
against, what was it, the Bills, where he underthrew
Mike Williams. Yeah, I think that was that one.
He played terrible against the Vikings. That's
right. He did play terrible against the Vikings.
He played better as a season 1 -1, and part of
that is probably due to Devontae coming to the
Jets. So Aaron could force feed Devontae. a lot
of balls but i will say though partly why he
got better but i will say he practically had
the same stats as josh allen except less he had
josh uh aaron rogers had more intercepts not
about to save rogers this is equivalent to josh
allen don't give me that now he practically is
like the stats like stats wise bro stats wise
dog josh allen only threw like eight interceptions
he's the mvp aaron rogers threw 11. and he's
the mvp he's doing it way less talent You know
what? Next review. In the next couple episodes,
we need to give our breakdowns, our complete
breakdowns of our teams and why they failed this
season. I'll give mine for the Saints, and you'll
give yours for the Jets. Okay. Next team, Steelers.
Steelers. They got Russell Wilson, and they got
Justin Fields in the offseason. Justin Fields
started for the first couple games, and then
they kept winning, but they didn't like how the
offense looked, so then they switched to Russ.
And then Russ and the offense looked pretty good.
They were rolling. And then they lost five in
a row during this season. And they looked terrible
at the end of the season. I felt like... It sums
up their season right there. I felt like it's
just the usual Mike Tomlin bullshit. He'll get
you to a winning record in the first round loss
in the playoffs, not a Super Bowl. A lot of people
say Mike Tomlin should be fired. I'm not going
to say he should be fired. I don't think he should.
I think he's good at schematic things. I think
he's a good schematic person. I feel like if
you get a good head coach around, like, not good
head coach, good team around him, he could win.
He could win. They need, like, a really good
offensive coordinator. That's what they need.
Yeah. That's what they need. That's what they
need, a draft. Is it offensive coordinator? Is
it offensive coordinator? Okay, Cleveland Browns.
Cleveland Browns. Disappointment. Okay, you know
what? Deshaun, they were never going to win anything
with Deshaun. I hope he gets cut. Overpaid. Did
he get cut? Nope. He got injured. He needs to
get cut. He tore his Achilles. We don't like
Deshaun on the pod. But we love Jameis on this
pod, don't we? We do love Jameis. So I will always
root for Jameis Winston. And he made the Browns
fine. Even if they were losers, they were fun
to watch. All right, San Francisco, injury prone.
Yeah, injuries. That's why they lost so many
injuries. Chicago Bears. Offensive coordinators
suck. They got better literally at the end. Which,
I mean, it was too late at that point. Yeah,
Caleb got better as the season went on. Caleb
actually is a pretty solid quarterback. Next
season, I think their offense is going to be
improved. I'm looking forward to next season
for the Bears. Vikings. Vikings. That surprised
me. They surprised me. They did. The Vikings
really did surprise me. Yeah, I thought they
were going to be like 7 -1 team. Especially,
you know, J .J. McCarthy being hurt. I thought
7 -1 team very much surprised me. And then they
showed their true colors at the end of the season.
The last two games of the season, they showed
their true colors. The Lions merely rocked them,
then the Rams. All right. Commanders surprised
me. Jane Daniels is going to be a great quarterback
in the league. Commanders did surprise me with
how good they looked this season. I thought Jane
would win Rookie of the Year. I predicted him
to win Rookie of the Year, which he did. Yeah.
I predicted him to be pretty good. But not this
guy. I did not expect him to lead the corner
to start 12 wins. I do believe Jaden Daniels
is going to be like the NFC version of Lamar.
Dan Quinn wouldn't prove to be as good of a head
coach as he's turning out to be. Alright, Miami
Dolphins. Miami Dolphins. I'm going to say injury
prone. Okay, I'll say this. If Tua would have
played the whole season, they would have made
the playoffs. And done something in playoffs.
If they had a good second string quarterback,
they would have made the playoffs. All right.
Bills. Josh Allen, MVP season, baby. Choked when
it mattered most. That's me. Like they always
do. Like, they need to have the one seed. If
they get the one seed, they're in the Super Bowl.
Do you disagree? I'm not going to say I disagree.
It depends. I would have to, like. see the field
of teams that they would have to be competing
against. Okay. They have the two seed this year.
The Chiefs have the one seed. If they had the
one seed, posted the game, they would be in Super
Bowl, right? I probably can't. Yeah. Because
it would be in Buffalo instead of Kansas City.
So, if Buffalo would have just won two more games
in the one seed, they would be in the Eagles
in the Super Bowl. Alright. Hashtag Philly hitting.
But... I do feel like next year might be Josh
Allen's year if they draft right. I'm so hoping
it's Josh. I want Josh Allen to be the quarterback
of the Saints. I love Josh Allen. New York Jets.
You don't even need to break down this one. I
got this one. It wasn't even really Aaron Rodgers'
fault. Literally, the defense literally fucking
sucks. Because, no, because let me tell you why.
No. It's not. Because let me tell you why. Because,
dog. You can look up a highlight reel of Sauce
Gardner trying to tackle, okay? And so when they
hired this new defensive coordinator midway through
the season, he presented a presentation on how
to tackle. Sauce Gardner was getting mad at,
oh, we don't need to learn that shit. We don't
need to. We already know how to tackle. This
is going to take 30 minutes. It's like a two
-minute max breakdown per team. I know, but that's...
So let's... But it's more... You already kind
of covered the Jets when you covered the Giants.
It's more defense than O -line. That's all I
got to say. Because Jets' O -line is astronomically
terrible. Okay. Cardinals. I'll say it's really
Cardinals. They disappointed me. I was a big
Kyler guy. For the past couple years, I was a
big Kyler guy. I was, for the past couple years,
picking them to win their vision. And they never
have. Carly's the most mid -quarterback. He'll
have a great game, and then he'll have a terrible
game. And now, I officially gave him a Carly.
I'm not a Carly guy anymore. I feel like they
did better than... I predicted them to win the
division. But, I mean... Because I'm higher than
Carly, and now I'm not. Because he's in against
an SL. I feel like the Cardinals just need, like,
one or two more pieces on that offense. Then
they'd be straight. Alright. Baltimore Ravens.
Literally could have choked. They are playoff
chokers. You want to talk about Josh Allen being
a playoff choker. What about Lamar Jackson being
a playoff choker? It's not even Lamar at that
point. No, no, no. It is Lamar. He played a terrible
first half. The second half he was really good.
But the first half he was terrible. He was. But
I'm going to say this though. If fucking Mark
Andrews didn't drop that ball. That would have
been overtime right there. Well, no, you don't
know that. Because Josh might have got down the
field and made the field goal. Could have. That's
what I'm saying. But either way, overtime is
still overtime, though. You still have a chance
to at least win the coin toss and then go down
the field. They wouldn't have been in that position
had Lamar Jackson played better in the first
half. Yeah. Lamar Jackson is a playoff trick.
And he always will be. And he always was. Detroit
Lions injuries. They had injuries, but they did
pretty good, though. Detroit played amazing in
the regular season. No matter who got hurt, they
still looked dominant. And then come playoff
game against the Commies, they showed, yeah,
we can't win it all because of how many defensive
players we have injured. All right. Yeah, they
did good, but just injury -prone. Which I felt
sad because I was moving to the line zone. Colts.
Mid. They didn't really do anything that good.
Yeah, they didn't really do... I mean, most relevant
team right now. Like, who cares about the Colts
right now? Anthony Richards sucks. Anyway. He
does suck, yeah. They need to move on. Carolina
Panthers. They started doing good, like, the
second half. Okay, let's work it out. Bryce Sonser
off the first two games. Absolutely terrible.
And then you got Benchmade. And you don't. And
you don't. Gets in a car accident. Bryce comes
back in. And he plays good. So, yeah, second
half season, they did look a lot better. And
now Bryce Young has a job next season as the
Carolina Panthers starting quarterback. All right.
Had Andy Dalton not gotten a car accident, Bryce
Young might not be in the league or a starting
quarterback in the league. Atlanta Falcons. FTF.
FTF. FTF. We're the win? Wait, wait, wait. This
man said what? Oh, fuck the Falcons. There you
go. Wow. How long did it take? Like 50 minutes?
No, it took 15 seconds, asshole. I'm not a Saints
fan, bro. I don't know your fucking lingo. Anyway,
so I do believe Kirk Cousins was overpaid. Kirk
Cousins was overpaid. Kirk Cousins literally
ruined that offense. Falcons are the dumbest
team in the league right now. They drafted Michael
Penix right after giving Kirk Cousins a huge
bad. I feel like Penix is not going to be bad,
though. He didn't look bad. He's not going to
be bad. But where is their logic? If they gave
Kirk this huge bag just to draft a quarterback
who's already old, who they think is going to
be the starting quarterback, where is the logic?
Reminds me of another team. But anyways. Wait,
what team? Packers. No, no, because the Falcon
drafted an old quarterback. Michael Pinks is
like 24. So is Jane Daniels. Jane Daniels? What
are you talking about? Jane Daniels is 24. But
the commanders didn't pay someone like $50 million
a year. Yeah. All right. Whatever. Yeah. Look,
I felt like her cousins were in that offense.
They had all the potential in the world to actually
make a play. Her cousins actually played really
well in the beginning of the season. And they
had a meltdown. Yeah, you did. Look at him. He
threw four touchdowns against the Bucs. In like
400 yards. He got lucky with the Bucs game. He
literally had to walk off TD. That was that one
lucky shit. He played good the first half. First
part of the season. But. Then he fell off a cliff.
Alright. Texans. We kind of already. We already
discussed the Texans. The Bengals. Joe Burrow
needs a defense. He got. Yeah. He needs help.
That's all we got to say. That's. Yeah. Bengals
should draft every single defensive player. Yeah.
It's not even. Every single pick should be a
defensive player. Like. The Bengals need to stop
being cheap, drop a bag with Jamar T. Higgins,
go draft some defensive players, and then they
might actually go back to the bowl. Anyways,
Jacksonville, the only bright light was Brian
Thomas Jr. Trevor got hurt. Mac Jones came in.
Mac Jones doesn't even win you any games. I thought
Trevor Lynch was a good quarterback. It turns
out he may not be a great quarterback. Brian
Thomas Jr. I guess we'll see next season when
he plays a fully healthy season. Next season,
he's going to have to produce. Brian Thomas Jr.
is the only spotlight in that. Anyway. Wait,
would you agree next season Trevor has to produce?
Yeah, Trevor has to produce. Yeah. If they don't
get an O -line for Trevor, which, I mean, that's
for any quarterback, then... That's for any quarterback.
No, Trevor has to produce next season. Yeah.
He has to. All right. Buccaneers. Oh, well, in
the division. I mean, they were up and down throughout
the year. They did good. I mean, especially since
they lost Chris Godwin, which, hey... Fuck you.
I'm going to say this. Fuck you, Buccaneers.
I don't care. Fuck you, Buccaneers head coach.
Why? Todd Bowles. I could have won. His name
is Todd Bowles. No, no, no. His name is Todd
Bowles. Okay, well, then that makes it even better.
Fuck you, Todd Bowles. You want to know why?
You had 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter,
okay? I could have won my fantasy football championship,
but you know what happened? You decided to put
Chris Godwin out there and try to throw a Hail
Mary on against the Ravens. But, oh, no. What
happened? Chris Goblin breaks his fucking leg.
Language. Fuck off. Anyways, that's all I got
to say. That was kind of pointless. You had 10
seconds left. You were not going to hit that.
Hail Mary. All right. And that is it. That's
all the teams? Yep, that's all the teams. Well,
do you want to move on to her? All right, let's
do... We can talk about the hockey team. Oh,
yeah. Okay, we'll do that. Do you want to end
it with doing dumb shit? Doing dumb shit. All
right, look up the article in your phone. Okay,
this article, okay. It's about a man who injects
a butterfly into his veins of his arm. And, you
know, how smart would you have to be to inject
a butterfly into your veins? And just imagine,
what would you think happens if you inject a
butterfly into your veins? All right, so, so...
Brazilian teen dies after injecting butterfly
into veins. Cops suspect a viral challenge. Slow
it down, buddy. Let's not read super speed. Brazilian
teen dies after injecting butterfly into veins.
Cops suspect a viral challenge. Look, I don't
like seeing people dying. So, prayers up to the
family. But... But there's gonna be a body here.
When you're doing dumb stuff like that, like,
come on now. You gotta think. It's a butterfly.
You don't know what the butterfly could have.
A butterfly could have toxins. Like, that does
not mix well with your blood. Okay. You never
know. Okay, let's try to play devil's advocate.
Let's try to think of reasons why you would inject
a butterfly. Why you would? Yeah, why would you
inject a butterfly? Well, I mean, according to
the article, to go viral. To go viral. So, would
you do it for virality? If it gets this podcast
up, I'll inject a butterfly. How much money would
someone have to pay you to inject a butterfly
into your veins? Look, I'm going to need a nice
good bit of money. But first, I would want that
butterfly checked out, dissected, look at it.
Insectarium, have it be like tested. Get tested
inside and make sure it's the cleanest butterfly
in the world before we inject it. But a lot of
money, a lot of money. Well, okay. If you had
to put a value on the amount of money. How much
would you require for... You mean like a million
or ten million. Oh, wait. Look at what I already
got. Let's shout out the article. Well... Where
did you get the article from? So, I got it from
Hindustan Times. What? Hindustan. Hindustan Times.
Shout out Hindustan Times for giving... lana
did find it on reddit first but i mean i just
yeah we'll find an official like article on it
right yeah so i mean let's just go back to like
you know the people let's just try to be smarter
as a society like please try to use your brains
and think before your actions yeah like like
i said i don't want to see no one dead don't
do anything that's going to kill you over a viral
challenge Yes, please. Okay. None of these TikTok
challenges are important. Okay. Stop doing these
stupid TikTok challenges for virality. I haven't
even seen that. So what was on his feet? He was
in Brazil, right? Okay. Maybe in Brazil they
have butterfly challenges. Like, I don't know.
It's almost like the Thai pop challenge in the
United States. Yeah, almost, right? Maybe I got
to travel to Brazil and see if that pops up.
Maybe. But, all right. And then, look, we can
do a quick, will Nola get a hockey team? I mean,
let's run through that real quick. Okay? Okay,
yeah. The short answer. He says no. I say yeah.
But here's why I'm going to say yeah. Nola has
a rugby team. I mean, but here's why. I feel
like they will get a hockey team, but it's not
going to last long. Do you think they're actually
going to get a professional hockey team? I feel
like... NHL team. I feel like... There's only
32. You think there's going to be one more? Because
I'm going to tell you why. This man right here.
I'm going to tell you why. The NHL literally
saw the Super Bowl because if you notice, they
saw this. They looked at the Super Bowl and they
were like, oh my gosh, look at all these people
down here in New Orleans. Maybe if we put a hockey...
No. It's not going to last long. They're going
to get one. Why would they put one down here?
I don't know. Maybe to get all the market from,
like, Texas. It's kind of like the Pelicans.
Like, to get the tech, like, not, like, closer
to Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas. I
know, but I'm talking about, like, closer to
people that don't feel like driving, like, four
hours to wherever. I don't know. Maybe they just
love fucking New Orleans. I don't give a shit.
I don't know. Texas has teams. This man is a
certified dummy over here. I'm not a dummy, but
I'm saying, like, to where, let's just say, San
Antonio's right here, Houston's right here, Dallas
is, like, right here, okay? To the people that
live, like, all the way, like, right out here
that don't want to go that way, but they have
faith. They'd rather drive further to New Orleans
than drive... I'm not saying drive further, but
I'm saying, like, maybe if they have, like, family
members that are Pelicans fans, then, you know,
they're... Okay, this imaginary Texas fan does
not exist. I'll give you a point for Mississippi,
Alabama. Arkansas. Don't forget Arkansas. No,
not Arkansas. Give me Arkansas. I'm not giving
you Arkansas. I'll give you Western Florida.
I'll give you Alabama, Mississippi, and Western
Florida. I'll take Western Florida. But then
again, they also have to... Actually, no, because
Western Florida, they're closer to the world
than... Than they were to Orlando. Or Atlanta.
They're closer to it. Because I know a couple
friends that say it's... I was joking with them.
I was like, are y 'all going to be Atlanta Hawks
fans? They were going to be like, no. Actually,
it's closer to... What? Because they live in
Pensacola. Pensacola's closer to New Orleans
than it is to Atlanta. So, they are still Pelican
fans. Okay. Hockey is not putting a team in New
Orleans. First of all, they have the Saints,
which the Saints love the city. The city loves
the Saints. And they had the Pelicans, which
the city barely supports the Pelicans. Home games
are hardly ever sold out in New Orleans. When
we do good. You probably have about 30 % of the
seats in this arena consistently empty. And I've
been to many Pelicans games. They're like that,
trust me. They don't have huge support in the
city. The Lakers are more supported in the city
than the Pelicans are. And you can't say that's
a lie. Fuck, man. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The
NHL is not going to put a team down here. First
of all, if they're going to put a team anywhere,
they're going to put it in a larger city. New
Orleans isn't as big of a city as Houston or
Atlanta or other cities that they could put a
team in. New Orleans is a smaller market. You'll
get less business. You'll get less fans coming
to the games because it's a smaller market. Yeah,
because then you have more... I understand that.
They're putting a team in Houston and Atlanta.
I will say this, though. Well, I don't think
they're going to put one in Atlanta. They won
in Atlanta twice already. I don't think they're
going to put another one in Atlanta. Yeah, I've
heard rumors that they're going to try again
in Atlanta. They're going to put one in Atlanta
before New Orleans. No, I feel like they're going
to try New Orleans. No, they're not. They want
to test out the waters. So, New Orleans wouldn't
be bad, but here's the thing, though. If you
want to test out the New Orleans in a small city
like New Orleans. Like I said, we are going to
get one. I say we are going to get one, but we're
not going to have it for a long time. Why would
they put one here just to take it away? I don't
know. Ask Atlanta the same fucking question.
Okay. Atlanta failed because of the team wasn't
doing well. Yeah, so I feel like it'd be the
same thing with New Orleans. Like, we still get
one, but it's... We're not doing too good. Because,
like, you gotta think. We still got people that
go to the BR hockey team, even though that's,
like... Okay, no one goes to those games. I know
a bunch of people that go. I want a good one,
actually. Yeah. I'll be someone who goes. The
tickets are cheap, too. They're, like, $25. But
we need to go to one. I'm down. You're down to
go to one? Yeah. Also, we need to go to a rugby
game in New Orleans. Yeah, we also did talk about
going to a rugby game. We're going to start supporting
local things, I guess. Other than big market
teams, yes. I also want to support Tulane, too.
And that was our segment for... Doing dumb shit
mixed in with Will Nola get a hockey team? He's
also doing dumb shit because he thinks it's...
They're going to get one for some reason. I feel
like they're going to get one. It's just they're
going to fail. Evan is doing dumb shit. No, no.
I'm not sticking a butterfly down my veins. I
wouldn't be surprised if you do. You just see
me in the road in our neighborhood. I see you
in the news. You just see me in the road in our
neighborhood and you just roll down the window.
Evan, what are you doing? What does it look like
I'm doing, man? I'll see you on WDSU News. Retarded
teen. No, retarded 22 -year -old adult tragically
dies from a butterfly accident. But it turns
out he didn't actually have any friends or family.
Wow, now that's fucked up. That's fucked up.
Look, like I said, 15 likes and I'll punch him
in the gut. Alright, we're ending this. Adios.
Yeah, peace out.
