Let's get it on. It's the Get Sunday Covered podcast season two episode 11 already. I'm
your host Cody. Join us always by Mr. Sheila virginity and Mr. Duke Skywalker. Thank you
for tuning in guys for another episode. Brandon Jordan. How you guys doing?
I'm doing pretty good. I looked at this. No. And GSC this week. So that always feels good.
Honestly, though, it was a good matchup. Like you put up a lot of points. I was worried.
I like, I honestly texted you Sunday. I remember I was it was bad. Like my team started out bad.
All of a sudden they just popped off Marvin Harrison Jr. Thank you seven. He went off.
Josh Jacobs went off like Lamar as usual. Like, this had a good game from everyone. Like, honestly,
you put up you put up a respectable score, but you still lost. So chair again. As soon as I asked you how you were doing, I was like, you know what, I really don't want to hear his answer man.
You're too. So started with them. I was like, I'll let Jordan just get this out real quick. Brandon, I don't know if you were watching this, like our matchup on Sunday morning, but literally through three quarters of the morning games.
I'm like, yeah, like I might have a shot at this. I'm looking pretty good right now. And then he literally had like four players score within like five minutes.
And I was like, Oh, no, like this is not good. You know what I mean? Like, I, I kind of had a feeling, you know, like you were favored going into the week.
But dude, that was a fun game. So congrats. Good game.
I'll see you again.
You're gonna beat me again. You're gonna beat me a second time.
Yeah, I'm like,
Oh, I'm gonna make the play on the bubble.
I'm on the bubble. Stephen's on the bubble.
You're still on the bubble with him.
Yeah, true.
Brandon, how are you?
I'm good. I'm not doing too bad.
I officially own Sheamus. So it's a, I'm happy. I got a dub this week. Got off the bubble there.
Yeah, sir. Yes, sir. And you called your shot too. It's a good thing that it's a good thing you won this because you called your shot on this and hey, look out man, because I'm coming for you.
You got a couple of big games coming up. You got a dub last week, but this week.
You're going down. Not so much.
Going down. If our scores are just like they were this week, we are going to be in a matchup that could be pretty crazy.
And this is what I love about our league. For those of you guys that are listening, we've talked about this on previous episodes, like our league is pretty friggin competitive.
Right now we have two people that are separating themselves pretty distinctly from everyone else.
First one being Joe, obviously, I may have to go back and look at the history of Get Sunday Covered, but Joe might be off to the best start of any team in maybe, I don't know, for five years.
I don't remember anybody starting 7-1 in recent history. Do you guys?
I think, right? I thought it was maybe at least 6-1, 5-1.
Someone won at least 5-1 for sure.
I thought it was him. I thought he went pretty crazy.
Joe is looking real nice right now. Maybe too nice, but he's looking good and he's being super active. He's putting it together every week. He starts at percentages up there, 89, something like that, I'm pretty sure.
I think his, mine, Jordan's, and even we're all at like that 89%.
89, yeah. 7-1.
I'm talking to you, Joe.
I will take pride in owning that one in your record, but you're crushing it, man. Keep it up.
On the flip side of that, the other one that's separating themselves from the pack, Whitney, dropped another one this week. One in seven, girlfriend, you might be done.
You got to play spoiler at this point, man. You got to do your best to try to steal some wins away from people in your division. Keep yourself out of the toilet bowl for two years in a row, but realistically, honestly, guys, I'm not good at math, but at one in seven, can she make it work?
She would have to win out.
Yeah, win out is possible.
Win out and.
Yeah, but she would need the people in front of her to basically lose out.
She would be playing
four people, I believe, that are ahead of her at least.
We're so bad at this analytical shit.
We should know.
She plays Joe this week, and then
she still has all of her division, second round of divisionals. So Joe, Jordan, Steven, Ryan, myself, and then she plays Seamus.
So she has a chance. She just has to win out.
I don't know.
No.
The.
You will be not making playoffs.
So, yeah, it's just kind of wild, though, to see,
you know, the ebbs and flows of of how it works when you play together with people for so long.
Because
I think it was at the top for the longest time. And now we're seeing two years. It's kind of,
you know, fallen off a little bit. Same thing with Ryan kind of and then, you know, Stefan also we talked last year a lot about how dominant Stefan was year after year and now, I don't know what it is man.
He's been quiet, but he's he's on the bubble right there. He's hanging around.
He's hanging there.
Yeah.
Sometimes I love fantasy football. Other times I hate Jordan.
Thank you.
Well, Brandon, I think you discovered a listener question for us this week. I'll go ahead and let you rip it off for us. What do you think?
Yeah, so this week's he got a couple questions in this week and it's from Ryan Keele.
We'll start off with his first one. Will the Steelers make the playoffs and do they win the AFC North?
I'll start. Yeah. I don't see how they don't make the playoffs.
Unless they have some sort of downfall in the second half of the season.
Winning the North can be tough. Obviously Baltimore, I think the Steelers will pick last in that division.
So I'll definitely take where they're at right now. 6-2. I don't think too many people have them doing that at this point.
So I don't know. Then when the North or the yeah, the AFC North, I don't know.
I think that it's going to be between them and Baltimore. I think that's who it's going to come down to.
I have pretty much all their divisional games at the second half of the season here. So it's going to be a tough run for him.
But I think if Russ keeps it up the way he is, I don't think there's any competition there.
I think this is Russ's team kind of after what he's done the past two weeks for him.
And hopefully just gets better with the team and they start clicking a little bit more and that offense is rolling, you know, even what they're doing right now.
I'm excited. And I think as a Steelers fan, like you can actually be excited.
Like this is not the Russ Wilson of the Broncos years, maybe even that last year of Seattle.
Like he's rejuvenated or something. I don't know what Pittsburgh did to him, but I don't know.
I mean, I don't know if you guys noticed, but like him and James Winston talk a lot, you know, I'm not a spiritual guy or trying to get into anything like that.
I don't know, like very motivational guys. I don't know. That's like not my style or let's talk shit and get fired up.
You mean Justin Swarms?
No, no. I'm James Winston. I'm talking James Winston for Browns.
Like his pre-game and post-game stuff. I talk, you know, praise God stuff, you know, their religious stuff, stuff like that.
It's like, it's obviously two completely different quarterbacks, two completely different careers, but I don't know, maybe after what James said, he saw Russ and they're going to play off.
But I don't know, like keep it rolling. I don't care. Go Browns. Like spoil some teams. But yeah, I'm excited for the Steelers.
Spoiled their teams this weekend.
Yes, they did.
So what's your thoughts on the QB situation in Pittsburgh, Jordan?
Like I said, I really don't think there is any type of situation anymore. I think keep fields as a backup in case something happens to Russ.
You've obviously proven that you can win games with him. So I think I heard Pat McAfee show was talking about, I think it was last year, there was 66 quarterbacks used.
Last year is the most in Anatella history. So pretty much talking about how you should give me kind of a good backup, you know, because quarterbacks are getting injured more than anything else now.
So I just leave fields as a backup and roll with the rest of the year and see where it leads us.
Yeah, I didn't realize how much I liked this question when you first put it on the document, Brandon, but I really do.
And I agree with Jordan. The Steelers are definitely going to make the playoffs here.
I agree that it's probably going to be between them and the Ravens, but let's be honest, and we're going to talk about this a little bit later in the document, but the Ravens got exposed this weekend.
They really did. They should have never lost that game.
But, you know, we talked a lot about how much there's parity in the NHL weekends like this really kind of show you there's a lot of things that you can do.
And I really kind of show you there's a lot of parity in the NFL as well, showing that the two and six Browns or at that time, you know, yeah, the two and six Browns can come take down the Ravens, or really going all in at this point before a Super Bowl run.
And they're second in their own division. You know what I'm saying, like,
100% the Steelers are going to make the playoffs and are they going to win the North?
Honestly, man, at this point, I could see it.
I could really see it. The interview with Joe Burrow is talking about how we need to win seven of the last nine because 10 wins get you in.
And do I believe that's going to happen? You know, not necessarily, but if fricking could, it definitely could happen.
If they win out, you know what I'm saying? And then, you know, Steelers could end up third in their division and maybe they don't make the playoffs.
But I do think they make the playoffs and as much as I hate to admit it, yeah, man, Russ is the man right now. And I did watch that game last night.
Brandon, I want to jump back to a couple episodes when you said stop putting the Giants on primetime football. I could not agree more.
That's not something that America wants to see. Giants fans don't want to see that. Nobody wants to see that.
But the Steelers did what they needed to do. They got the dub and they look good, man. They really do.
They stay healthy. Russ keeps playing the way that he's playing. I see no reason why they don't make the playoffs and at least have a shot at winning the division.
Yeah, no, I completely agree there. I mean, and touching on kind of everything with Pittsburgh, I mean, in all honesty, they should make the playoffs.
I think even if they do a season split with Baltimore, they should be able to, I think they can beat the Bengals twice and I think they can beat the Browns twice.
Unless one of those teams, two teams play spoiler, they already got the help from the Browns.
So all they need to do is just keep moving forward, get the wins that they need in division and they'll win their division.
In terms of QB, I think you got to stick with Russ. Your offense looks explosive right now and you just got to keep it rolling.
I think it's two different game plans, isn't it? It's 100% offense that it is with Russ versus Justin. It's not the same offense.
So if you've got two different defenses in two different weeks and one game plan works better than the other, if you've got a 1A and 1B situation like that, why not?
No, yeah, run them both if you have to. That'd be amazing. Win a Super Bowl with two different quarterbacks in the game. Dude, that'd be so cool.
Some college stuff.
Yeah, serious.
Yeah, exactly.
Some college status stuff.
Exactly.
Yeah.
All right, perfect.
Perfect.
The question, Ryan.
Ryan also had one more question. He said,
Thank you for both the questions, Ryan.
Pick one. For a tight end, do you play Kinkade, Aten, or Hawkinson?
Aten.
That's easily from you.
Yeah, I agree. Aten.
No contest.
Aten Train with, I don't know about, yeah, because Hawkinson just worries me coming back from injury, but maybe not take advice on that because Puka Nakua coming back from injury,
sitting out six weeks, coming back off of IR, have a buddy in my league ask me, would you play him tonight?
And I was like, no, I'm sitting him in my main league. I was like, I'm not playing him. He's coming back from injury.
He's going to play half the snaps. He played like 57% of the snaps, but he just had like 11 catches for like 107 yards.
He made them happen for sure.
Had an A.
But yeah, that situation I'm taking Kade on with the injuries in Tampa Bay and the week he had last week, I'm going to roll with him and the way Baker's playing this year.
I 100% agree. And the only caveat that I would add to that is I feel like Tampa might be one of those teams that may be looking to trade for a receiver.
Like Godwin, if he doesn't miss the whole season, he's going to be gone until a late postseason run hamstring injuries. Mike Evans, those tend to linger.
They're going to need somebody else there. Otherwise, defenses are going to pick up on this and they're just going to hammer Kate Otten and to be honest with you, I don't even know the other receivers that are there for Baker.
So I love Kade Otten. I think at least for this week and probably the following week for them. Yeah, him for sure. Outside of that, I'm kind of off Hawkins and man go concave.
Cool. Well, Ryan, we appreciate your questions and maybe we'll get some of your hockey ones at a at another point.
But got a hot topic of the week for you guys. So this I was watching a red zone Sunday. Anthony Richardson, you know, the Colts are driving down. He runs.
Maybe like back to back plays the second run. He kind of ran some of the words pretty big run and he kind of taps his helmet like a wide receiver running back like hey, I need to sub out, you know, the time like note that answers didn't say anything.
I didn't really say anything about it. And I was like, that's kind of weird. Like I'm never really seen a quarterback tap out like you got injured. All right, cool. Like I get it. You're getting out of the game.
But dude, literally admitted after the game, like, to be honest with you guys, I was tired. Like Darius Butler on the Pat McAfee Pat McAfee show said he's like, man, you got to lie in that situation.
You're tapping out because you're cramping. You injured yourself like you got to come out for a play. But I don't know how you guys feel about that. But like you think of Lamar Jackson like running down the field seven times on a drive.
I don't ever see him tap out. Patrick Mahomes, his helmet's breaking. His ankle is broken. He's not tapping out, you know, so I just find it like you're a professional athlete, you're 22 years old, like should be in the best shape of your life.
This is week eight, like middle of the season. Like, I don't know, I'm on the Joe Flacco train. Like I hated this dude when he was in Baltimore, like good riddance to you.
Like I'm glad you're not there because all he did is close his eyes and throw it as far as he could to Jacobi Jones, the one in Super Bowl. But I don't know.
I think, I think Joe Flacco, I think I think the Colts right now are better with him. I think it'll help my people with Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Alex Pierce. I think it'll help Jonathan Taylor because Joe Flacco is not out running anyone anymore.
So he ain't even be trying to take off. So I don't know how do you guys feel about that? I think it's kind of a, I don't know, I want to say a cop out. It's just, it's weird. Like it's just something you don't see. Something that I've never like in recent memory don't remember from a quarterback just, hey, I'm tired.
Well, and that's the thing is you don't, you don't see other quarterbacks do that. And I mean, you're the field general, you're the guy that needs to be there every single snap. So it really just kind of looks like at least in my eyes, you're kind of quitting, man.
And that's probably why Flacco's start on Sunday.
He got benched.
Yeah.
Look at this in two different ways. One, I agree with you guys. This dude, you just can't do it, man. You cannot do that. Like, whatever a homeboy said, like just lie. Just lie, man. Like, I got tackled.
I'm out. I'm out. Like, something dude, I don't care. Well, like whatever, like, you got to say something other than that. But the other thing is, like, what if, hear me out, like the whole argument is like he's supposed to be out there to give his all to the team, right?
Yeah. Like, what if he actually did? Like, what if he's like, I can't right now. I recognize that we're in a really important situation and we need to score. And I'm as throwing the ball, I'm the least accurate quarterback in the league right now.
Get me out.
This is, this is better for the team. Like, what if he really did have the team in mind?
I don't, that's still like a cop out to me because it's like, still, that's a sign of weakness. Like, you're out of shape, dude, you can't. It's, I don't know, like, I've never played football. So it's hard for me to speak of the nature of it.
But it's like, you technically get 40 seconds between plays. It's not like you're doing a shift in hockey.
It's not like you're playing hockey. You know, stuff like that. So I don't know. I don't know. To me, it's just, it's weird. Like, I think it like, you know, say you get a $10 million job and you're at your job and they're showing your presentation, you're like, hold on, I'm going to tap out.
I need to actually just take a break. Like, I'll be back in like five minutes. You think they're going to be like, All right, get rid of this, dude, we'll get another guy to come in here type thing. I don't know.
It's funny that she bring up his passing dude, he was 10 for 32. I don't know if you know, he's horrible.
So it was that Boston Connor guy put up a stat about him out of the 222 quarterbacks since the year 2000 that have had 250 dropbacks or passes.
He has he's 222nd. He has last place on that list for completion percentage.
Yeah, statistically had the worst passing game.
You know, who was number one on that list before Anthony Richardson on Sunday, Tim Tebow and Anthony Richardson broke.
Yeah, like 42.7%. He was 10 for 32. That's bad, man.
Like, I don't know. So just weird, I thought.
Is there a chance that maybe there's something deeper going on there in Indy? Like, it's just not a it's not a good mesh with the coach.
And, you know, like, I don't know, like, is he really that bad of a quarterback? I mean, the dude's an athletic phenomenon.
Yeah, I don't know if you like know his career, like anything about him in college or anything, but like, he doesn't have that much background.
He only playing one year at Florida, right? One year and like the main thing with him at Florida is he ran, you know, like Tim Tebow ran a lot in college like quarterbacks can run a lot more in college.
You're going with guys in the NFL that are the size of you, if not bigger, running your your 40 faster than you are or your same speed.
So these guys are bigger and stronger than college. So it's just obviously I still think he can run. That's a big part of his game and what helps him.
I think that's the big reason he is in the NFL. So I think maybe at this point, start Flacco, let him sit behind Flacco like.
Look at the job Flacco didn't Cleveland. You know, I'm sure he wanted to stay there and help Sean Watson more, you know, so maybe says and and then the map was some helps this kid develop a little bit more and you know become a professional and figure it out.
Let me ask, let me ask you guys this question then by yourself. Anthony Richardson is a starting quarterback in the NFL next season.
So, so yeah, I personally would if I'm Andy.
I'm trying to keep Flacco one more year and let Flacco run everything the rest of this season next season and let a our study.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, I don't know, like, you see guys like this come out and they've got all this hype and then they don't deliver.
You might be looking at another Josh Rosen situation.
You know, always Anthony Richardson started to games played. I mean, fair but give it 12 months from now market October 29, October 30 of next year, his career might be over but might be time.
You shall see. Speaking of careers being over, guys, we've got some seasons that are over and we try our best not to be analysts obviously this is kind of like our content or whatever but I want to bring some of these names up with you guys as far as injuries this week because I do think this has major fantasy impact on how the rest of the season is going to go out.
We're going to start with the big one. Staphon digs. Finally, after a couple of days, it comes out torn ACL he is done major implications for the Texans. If you ask me, Christian Kirk, there were some rumblings about him maybe being a trade target for some teams broken collarbone done for the year.
I think Jordan love. One of my Super Bowl picks for this year in the Green Bay Packers. This is second time being injured this year. We're talking guys like Brian Thomas.
I mean, dude, another, you know, eight weeks in and I feel like every week we're just getting decimated with injuries that have like huge implications on some of these teams. You guys have any like particular insight on any of these situations.
Brian Thomas, Jr. His is something it's a contusion with the left side of his chest, which worries me because your heart's on your left side of your chest. So that'll be something to keep an eye on Drake may concussion.
So he'll be out this week, possibly back week 10 seems to be not such a huge worry with New England, I think right now, just because of the fact that the Patriots beat the Jets.
The Jets. The Jets. Should we just skip over to that real quick. Let's let's let's talk about.
We can sit on the Jets for a minute because I am here for that conversation.
Jordan love. Yeah, I mean, it'll be curious. It'll be interesting to see kind of how things progress. It's it from what I've seen right now is he's day to day.
Nothing really official.
So with Jordan love, we talked about Joe at the top of the show seven and one hot start to our main league season this year. He just dumped both of those guys onto the trade block he's trying to move on from him. How are you guys doing about that.
No one's going to make a move on either of those guys. Sorry, Joe. I dropped Jordan love my my only pretty early on after his first injury and kind of kicking myself but I think it's one of those things where the way he plays man and just he's that gunslinger, but he ain't
He ain't Brad Farr is like, I don't think he's going to start. He's obviously missed starts, you know, and it's like keeps going the route he is on. I don't know how maybe just one of those guys where it's just like man, every couple games just has something lingering.
It's not nothing major but it's something with his leg, you know, or taking a hit or going down wrong or he's just always kind of hurt and I hope not because he's a they're fun to watch Green Bay is a fun offensive team when Jordan loves their their receivers.
I think digs is the big one that's big for the Texans he was having a pretty good year for the Texans and CJ shroud I think he was kind of becoming his obviously go to go to guy after Nico Collins went down but I think even like over the middle
of the four yard situations like Stefan Diggs and says guy shorthand to catch the ball so I think that would be big for the Texans the other ones Christian Kirk Brian Thomas Jr. they're not making the playoffs anyway so maybe just save yourself for next season obviously with Kirk he's
Drake may think he'll be fine. All right concussions. They happen hoping he's all right. But yeah, like you guys said, I think I kind of already shit on them last week the Jets Aaron Rogers suck and after the Steelers beat them last week.
And the funny thing about that people coming in while the Jets schedule after Devonte Adams they have a favorable schedule next to games here against the Steelers and the Patriots Steelers I was like, yeah, maybe I think Steelers got a chance but I bet on the Jets to beat the Patriots like what like
I did the same thing I I mean in our pick-ums league I I picked the Jets I didn't anticipate New England I mean honestly I don't really expect New England to win any games anymore.
So I'll take it gladly as a New England fan but you know it was kind of funny because I saw that meme come across and I posted it on our socials, and it's from the office and you know it's it's the Jets with the highest expectations in 25 years and then New
England with the lowest expectations in 25 years and you know the Jets are at the bottom of the division. So it's really interesting to kind of see that because you know everyone was so high on the Jets and now I think what do you do if you're the Jets.
I don't know man they they fired their coach. If I were to solid their defense got worse. I was going to say their defense got worse when they got rid of Sola.
Roger just looks old man like he looks he has times where he's good but he cannot move like God he looks bad and when he has to try to scramble from the pocket he just doesn't look like himself and I don't know man like it's bad I'm glad I'm not a Jets fan because it's like I don't know if you saw this weekend but they use their first three time timeouts in the first 10 minutes of the game.
Is it like some credit the first team since like 2007 or something to do that. Yeah. That's embarrassing. Do you have a veteran quarterback that like what like what are you guys doing like how do you not know plays or what the hell you're doing or where to line up like
that's a problem when you have a quarterback that wants to act like the head coach and he's not on the same page with the guy that's actually the head coach and then you just run into situations like that like he's he's great don't get me wrong I love Aaron Rogers I think he's done some amazing things but he's
not a Brady he's not a manning like and he's showing that right now like you should have hung it up after your last MVP season you know what I mean and I do still think he has some left in the tank but the Jets as a whole have got to be the biggest let down in the NFL in
the NFL for sure this season but maybe a long time like this sucks. It sucks for your Wilson it sucks for breeze Hall it sucks for the defense because they're out there busting their ass.
Even if they did get worse like they had a top tier defense last year and now it's like for nothing you know what I mean.
How do you how do you think the Vonte feels going from Vegas, who's two and six to the jets and losing to New England and being two and six.
Honestly, I'm starting to feel like Devonte is a little bit of a diva to everybody talks about it's the fondigs being a diva but like, I don't know they're like roughly the same age and I just want to go somewhere and win and I want to be the number one but
like what do you bring into the table man. I see him on the sideline night coaching up Garrett Wilson and shit like that but like that's that's not how it is man like you're just on a shit team and you just got to own that like you can just keep jumping
like I mean I guess you can like I suppose I would want to also but like you're on a shitty team bro. Yeah. In a shitty organization you went from the Raiders to the jets.
Yeah.
That's like going from homemade to store brand like it's not going to be good.
Yeah, it's not good for anyone the jets. Jets fans everyone included it sucks sucks for a lot of jets fans here.
I was ready to jump on that bandwagon like I wanted to see Aaron Rogers succeed I wanted to see these guys go off and like.
I was a lot down. Yeah, big time. Well boys just going to do a little club check in real quick. Keep an eye out on our socials for the Champions Club have a lot of things kind of getting interesting throughout the club.
A lot of divisions are starting to really kind of get close and starting to kind of shift and move who's at the top week to week. So interesting Cody you're making a face what you got.
Don't make me say it man.
What you got.
Making a face I want to know.
Pacific Northwest get Sunday covered this weekend. I played my wife.
And when the news broke about tea Higgins here I go making excuses again she always tells me that.
The news broke and I made sure to go through all of my leagues, because I have a lot of shares of tea Higgins.
Let me down again but I love tea Higgins I might throw his jersey up on the wall next week.
I think Higgins is out this week. So I moved him out. Put in who I could every league except for one against my wife.
How much did she beat you by.
Not much actually it was a pretty close game actually it came down to last night, but she did beat me.
I needed. I was up by six and she had neighbors last night.
So she got the win, literally in the fourth quarter I'm pretty sure.
But she did win and not only did she win.
But she took over first place in the league.
Congrats kids. Congrats.
She gives me the little.
Hair flip.
She got bragging rights right now.
Dude.
That's terrible.
Thank you Jordan it's awful man like.
Here I am taking up this time on a Tuesday night to record a fantasy football podcast.
Meanwhile she's out doing her thing doesn't give a shit.
What's my ass this weekend man.
Just shows that Cody is actually a fantasy football.
I will never win a championship.
Oh man shots fired hey listen.
My guy I've got you this week.
So we might touch on that here in just a minute.
How's your guys's league going.
Mine's going good it's a it's pretty competitive.
Everyone's kind of in a mix there there's some guys kind of separate themselves and then guys going on losing tricks everyone's kind of the stone the mix I'm excited.
I'm going down there.
Maybe the day in here to see you make some my league so I'm excited to see what happens.
I'm liking the the change up in GSC Colorado man it's nice to see Hans actually battling to get up there.
I'm not saying he won't win it again but he's been dominant years past.
I know.
I'm not saying he's going to have some category on the IR.
Yeah the Mountain West is pretty competitive for sure to.
How are you doing in Mountain West.
I'm four and four.
I'm in fourth right now.
There's one team that's seven and one.
And then there's one team that's one and seven.
Two teams three and five but there's six teams that are four and four and two teams that are five and three so it's it's pretty competitive which is good.
We touched on GSC main at the beginning of the show but Brandon.
What's up man.
It's you and me this week. I already dropped one to Jordan. There's no way I can drop to both of you guys a little podcast showdown.
Jordan you've gotten both of us so far so.
What's up Brandon.
You know what I'm going to make a little wager this week or what this is real.
She misses five five game win streak.
Good.
Now I can stop your one game win streak.
You know the best part about that.
You stop and is win streak and I wish you would have done it.
I should have actually done it because I moved in a second place is sent 17 memes and gifts of second mic drop.
Here I am.
Can you hear me in the back second number two.
Who's number two.
Here am I.
Look at me.
Well I was hoping you would do it since you beat him.
So yeah he was awfully quiet after Monday night.
Yes he was perfect.
Yeah it was.
Well our game was over Sunday night so it was perfect because thank you CDLAM for carrying my team to the next round.
Carrying my team to victory.
Jordan Mason bags.
Fuck in a enjoy sitting on my bench the remainder of the year.
I mean maybe even getting dropped.
He was a humble and poise loser this week.
He handled it well.
No talk and shit.
So there was no shit for him to talk.
He took a nail.
That's right.
Capital cursive in your face.
Thank you to the Dallas Cowboys for sucking and having to throw the ball in the fourth quarter to come back.
Dude.
Dak and CD in garbage time is undefeated.
That's why you was shipped last year.
Can they do that.
The whole game and not just in the fourth quarter please.
No man.
They can't.
It's like in their contracts.
That's the issue.
I'm pretty sure that's like part of their deals.
Like you guys have to pound sand for at least three quarters of the game.
And then it's like okay here's where the money is really spent.
Now we can turn the side.
We can flip the switch on.
We're down by 21.
They're playing like cover three deep.
Like yeah we can throw the ball now.
Like yeah.
I don't mind.
Dallas sucks too.
They're about as long with the Jets.
Well the two best players that they have they don't give a shit.
They got paid this off season.
Who cares.
We don't have one else on the team.
You got two guys making 70% of the team.
We don't win another game.
I don't give a shit.
I'll be here next year.
There you go.
All right.
Well speaking of all that are we moving on the games of the week for our picks.
I don't know.
Oh, or do we want to excuse me.
You're trying to get away without putting a wager on this.
He's scared.
Yeah.
I don't know if you guys are planning anything.
What are we doing Cody?
You tell me.
I don't know.
All right.
Well, so Jordan, I don't know if you remember last year,
but we had a wager last year on the pod.
And winner got to name.
The losers team for the next week, which was pretty good.
So I don't know. You got any ideas, Jordan.
I don't know. I mean.
And I don't know if you guys are planning anything,
but it's like sending someone $5 five or something.
Is that even a legal bet to do?
Oh, I don't know about that.
I need that $5.
I'm, I need it.
I'm 14.
I don't know. I don't know what I do for a bet.
Am I good at betting and stuff like this?
And before Thursday night football, we'll post to our socials and let you know what our bet is.
And we will see what happens next week.
Does that work for you, Jordan?
Yeah, sounds good to me.
Better be some good or least.
The shit talking is about to get started between Cody and I because we do that every time we play.
And it's Cody, I love playing you because weeks are so much fun when we play each other just because of how much shit we talk to each other.
It's it's truly the best.
Yeah, if anyone's listening has any ideas, drop a comment or something.
See you.
Yes.
Not some to sexual or violent or anything like that.
I look forward to the 7am phone calls and the random texts is going to be a good one.
Well, when we go on to the games of the week, I think Brandon did our was a sartalis for the games of the week for our picks this year.
Looks like Brandon and I are 12 out of 19 on the picks.
Cody's got us by 13 out of 19.
So pretty good above 500 for all of us.
So try to keep that up like it.
And I know there was there were some big games last week.
I know this was one of our our games.
The Chicago and Washington game crazy ending like just a wild ending.
Amazing.
Super cool for Washington.
Like I totally embarrassing if Chicago won that game with the statistics of Caleb Williams, like they had no reason to be in that game.
Just another one of those games by Washington where it's like, man, too many field goals.
Like just get some touchdowns in this game.
Not even close like.
But I don't know if you guys saw the viral video of Stevenson at the end there waving the crowd and the Chicago fans trying to yell at him telling the play was going on like 40 down 40 yards down the
field already.
Yeah, yeah.
Just looking into the crowd.
What are you doing, bro?
He was ready to walk off, bro.
It's embarrassing.
And, you know, I look at the other side of this as if ball gets batted down.
Boom, you know, this probably doesn't come out.
He says a word.
This isn't even a topic.
I also saw that Stevenson was the one to actually tip the ball.
He tipped it up for no ground to catch.
So that makes it worse.
Like he already came out with an apology and.
Like don't move on from this move forward.
He's a young kid.
Like everyone wants to show up, but it's like, yeah, man, you're a professional like time to act like one sometimes celebrate after the game's over, you know, then start talking to the crowd and waving up the crowd.
I agree.
I 100% agree with that.
And I 100% agree that.
It was super cringy.
What happened, man?
Like what, like what a.
You want to talk about.
The series of unfortunate events like that.
As a professional athlete, it really might not get worse than that.
Like that's.
How do you lose worse than that? You know, I mean, like you're the guy.
All eyes on you, especially now with social media, the way that it blows up, but.
I'm kind of with you, Jordan, where like you said.
That past doesn't get caught. Nobody says a word about him doing that. I also look at this in the situation of like.
I appreciate this young man for being in a 1 in a million situation being that Hail Mary, you know what I mean.
The odds of that being caught are so low. He's hyped for his team. They've done their job. They pulled out the wind on the road.
He's ready. He's excited. He's ready to celebrate. I understand that part.
But then I also look at.
Not just this game, but other games and I'm looking at dudes that are getting paid multimillion dollars to go out there and run a super pointless route at half speed and maybe put their hands on somebody's shoulder pads and then just like trot off to the sideline or the dude that's, you know.
Standing on the sideline like trying to hype up the crowd when they're down by 30 because they didn't do their friggin job. Like, where are the people talking shit about those guys? You know what I mean?
I understand that there's some design plays that you go out and you don't do anything, but like.
Cut this kid a little slack is all I'm saying. Like.
That's a freak situation. Hail Mary's are as exciting as they are because the odds of them actually working are so friggin slim.
It's not his fault. Even if he did tip it up the way that he did, it's not his fault. It's a freak play.
Just the way that an injury is a freak play. It just so happens that it happened.
A huge game and there's cameras everywhere, man. Like.
I think it sucks. I don't think you should have done what he did, but like give him some slack here. That's my opinion.
Game over till clocks hit zero.
Don't celebrate early.
Well, and yeah, I guess counteract exactly what I was saying. You're getting paid that much. You better be exactly where you're supposed to be at all times.
So it's kind of goes back to, you know, what you're saying about.
If all gets knocked down, you know, it's no one hears about this play. But like.
People listening to us like even you guys like everyday life like work or people like I always tell people like.
You know, at your job, like how many times are you told like you did something wrong.
They're way more than your ever praise for doing a good job at work or doing something right or doing your.
Your actual job, you're when you break something or do something wrong or mess the job up or whatever your job pertains to like.
You're always going to hear the bad side of it, not the good. So I always wonder like.
Especially in film rooms like NFL rooms like how much negative film are they going over like what are you doing on this play like who you cover and where are you going to.
Hey, look at the play, you know, Joe John's made on this route to make this catch like how many bad players are they showing me the two good plays to try to correct people instead of praising people to show people what to do.
I always think about that like just pertains in everyday life to.
Yeah, very good point with the news.
Yeah, exactly. But with that, hopefully we get some maybe a game like that this weekend.
But it will be our pick for the games of the week this week.
I'll start with mine. I'm going to roll lions at the Packers.
We'll see what if Jordan love plays.
Honestly, I don't even think it matters. I think the Lions are going to come in here and just steamroll the Packers.
I don't even Jared Duff was like 13 for 15 for like 85 yards like three touchdowns on he didn't even need to do anything like they just have a good team man.
So I'm taking the Lions in this game.
No questions.
I'm in the same boat. I'm taking the Lions.
Yeah.
Yeah, same. Lions are nasty dude. And I don't I don't. I'm with you. I don't think it matters if Jordan love plays.
They're gonna run it.
Yep.
I'll jump over to my game. My game of the week. I'm going to take the Rams and the Seahawks.
Good little NFC West battle. I think divisions wide open dude.
That is exactly why it's on my radar for the week is that division is wide open.
You know, Arizona is leading the division right now, but I do like the Rams in this game.
And that's who I'm going to take on the road.
I'm also going to roll with the Rams.
It's not going to be on my my fantasy team for this game. He's getting dropped because the Buffalo Bills just came in there and steam rolled them last week.
That was embarrassing. First Seattle at home.
Embarrassing for Gino Smith. I don't know if it's DK Metcalf means that much to him like and he doesn't even throw him the ball enough when he's in the lineup.
So yeah, I don't know what it was. They just they look terrible.
Like his numbers were still decent, but if you watch together, they just didn't look good. They couldn't do anything in the first half.
I'm taking the Rams. Matthew Stafford, Pukinakua, Cooper Cupp, Kyron Williams, like the Rams might just come back and win that division and tell everyone to shove it.
So man, I am pretty torn here.
I have a hard time arguing anything that you said Jordan, but I do think DK makes a huge difference in this offense.
I think he opens up a lot of opportunities, not just for Gino, but for the run game as well.
I don't think Lockett is going to repeat it down week the way that he did. I really have tempted to take the Seahawks here man.
With the 12 that's a hard place to play.
Not for Buffalo.
Fuck it. I got a game up on you guys. Give me the Seahawks.
Cool.
What is your game man Cody?
Okay, we touched on it at the top of the show. I think Ravens got exposed last week. I'm going to take Broncos and Ravens. It is in Baltimore.
I'm excited to see it. Nobody thought that the Ravens were going to lose to the Browns, just like nobody thinks that the Ravens are going to lose to the Broncos.
As your resident Broncos fan, I'm excited to see them come in there and give them a challenge.
I do think the Ravens are going in, you know, selling the house for Super Bowl run this year. I really do. The move for Deontay.
We'll see if he gets plenty of time this week. I'm sure he will probably on a snap count, whatever.
But I think this is going to be a closer game than people think. I am going to take the Ravens at home, but I think it's going to be a good game.
Go ahead, Jordan.
I don't know, man. I think we texted about it, Cody. Sometimes when the Broncos games are on, how did the Broncos win games?
Sometimes it's cringe to watch them, but they get it done. I think the more Bo next plays, the better he gets.
He's got some wheels. He definitely can run. I think that's what definitely helps him be in a rookie.
I don't know, man. I'm going to take the Broncos in this game. I think the Broncos are going to go on the Baltimore show.
I love it.
I think they're going to lose back to back games. I haven't looked at the line here or anything.
I'm sure the Broncos are, I'm guessing at least like a five, five and a half point underdog on this game.
I can see them coming in and just the Ravens kind of overlooking them.
Maybe that's what they do to Cleveland and they're going home and we got an easy game against the Broncos.
So when, I don't know, go Broncos.
Baltimore is not five or five and a half favorites. They are nine and a half point favorites.
If you are a dissler, I would take, I would probably take the Denver to cover on that nine and a half, but I will take Baltimore.
I'm going to take Baltimore.
All right. Well, we got a little bit of mix up this week with our picks except for the Lions Packers game.
We're all in the Lions. So see, see what happens next week after these games are finished.
Let's just hope for some, some good games and some good finishes and good fantasy numbers for everybody.
Yeah, seriously, hopefully we have a week like we had this last week and hopefully I'm on the receiving end of the points like you were Jordan.
You can all receiving end of catching another L.
No.
You score like 155 and Brandon scores 160.
You're a score by points, but you still.
Cody might rage quit if that happens.
I might. I might honestly, like you guys are going to have to do this pot on your own next week.
Cody's going to call out sick folks if, if he doesn't win this week.
We have a little tickle coming on.
Put a cardboard cutout up there of you.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
We'll see what happens.
All right, boys. Well, that'll do it for this week's pod.
