six innings had ten strikeouts and three home
runs in that game Like he won that game himself
like that's wild dude. I don't know good for
him Did you guys want to know how I know I'm
getting old It's the you talk about the West
Coast game, man. I want to go see like these
nights games But they start so late, dude They
start so late and I like I look at the games
and I'm like, yeah realize like I go to bed at
like 930 10 o 'clock every night I can't be down
Vegas 1130 no way not on a school night that
just sounds like Yeah, yeah, absolutely That's
just like the Vavs games they do Same thing.
I'd like they just dropped the puck what they're
in Utah what same time zone though that was Yeah,
it's a 30, you know, so it's like That's why
any time I do go to these games, like I'm taking
the next day off, like I'm not recovering because
if I'm going there, I'm trying to have a good
time. I'm not trying to be rushed. And it's,
you know, it's just like, it's just like playing
a sport. I feel like it's, you know, you're coming
home and it's like, it takes you a minute to
wind down from like the adrenaline of everything
and like stuff like that. It's not in. So you're
just shut down after playing a game or watching
a game. So. Yeah. It's like seeing Jordan drunk
as shit at a CC game on a Saturday. No, that
would never happen. Usually Friday nights, because
if I get too drunk, then I'm not there on Saturdays.
Unless it's opening weekend and you're just tossing
them back all. Yeah, we got it for opening weekend,
at least making appearance at both games drinking.
Just go try to blend into the student section.
Shave your face, man. You'll be fine. Yeah Some
of those kids I'd have to dress probably a little
bit different. I don't know I can probably throw
on throw on some sweatpants and Probably be all
right and call it good. It'd probably be about
the same Yeah, hey at least the student sections
filling out man, I'm so glad to see that for
CC Yeah, nice little sweep this weekend to dude.
I love this time of year. He said basketball
is back Hey quick shout out to our guys that
uh hooked up the The fantasy basketball league
we did our draft yesterday. Actually, we got
some new members in there Couple of guys that
I personally haven't played with before or met
before so that's been pretty sweet Jordan you
doing fantasy basketball at all? Just sticking
with hockey and football Brandon any fantasy
basketball for you Actually, yeah, I just decided
to throw my hands into Yahoo League and just
test the waters and see what happens. I don't
want to join any money by sleeper. I did not
want. I mean, I just if it came across randomly
and somehow, I don't know what happened, but
all of a sudden I got an alert that I had a draft
on Yahoo and. I clipped it. I don't know how
this happened. Like, seriously. Is that what
you tell your wifey? Like, why do I know? It
just showed up. No, like, it automatically put
me into a sleep. I was at work. And then all
of a sudden, like, I open. I just took my my
phone was in my pocket. I took it out. It was
on Yahoo. My phone was open somehow in my pocket.
I don't know what happened. Yeah. And I hate
it when that happens and it just randomly signs
me up for a fantasy league, man. But no, like,
like I was. So I know I was like going through
all of my fantasy hockey stuff for yesterday
and like updating for the week and trying to
set my my lineup throughout the week. And then
all of a sudden I was in a fucking fantasy basketball
draft. And I was just like, well, I guess I'm
doing this. So I was like, might as well test
the waters, see what happens. Dude, I felt so
bad for for our family because I was we were
drafting yesterday and our commissioner is out
of New York City and. He set it up to be, you
know, pretty conducive for everybody at a decent
time. And it just so happened, like I was, I
was working so late last night and I was right
in the middle of a job and my, like, my phone's
just like going crazy in my pocket. I'm like,
what the hell is going on? Like who is blowing
me up right now? And then it clicked. I was like,
Oh shit. So I opened my phone. I'm like, this
fantasy basketball draft. I'm on autopick and
I was like, well, like at this point, like I'm
just going to leave it. And this is why I cannot
stand when we auto draft. And I feel really,
really bad. So any of, any of our fantasy basketball
guys that are listening right now, trust me,
like I feel awful that the biggest proprietor
of not auto drafting, I did it. And then I looked
at my team and I was like, not bad. Not bad.
That's awesome. Well, guys, it's good to have
you back. It was a wild week of football. I guess
not really a wild week. There was one crazy game.
There was a bunch of kind of crappy games, but
we're going to touch on a bit to the Cody before
we go any further. Just wanted to know how does
that L taste hmm? You know I knew this was gonna
come up at some point today Brandon, and I just
just how does it taste right now? You managed
to keep yourself relevant for one more week.
I'm so proud of you, buddy You're doing great.
You're doing really great bringing some wins.
They grow up fast. Don't they Jordan? I mean
with you two taking each other out like that
like I Don't know kind of help. I don't know
hurts cuz Brandon goes to four and three somehow.
I'm not sure Oh, string in some wins together.
I don't did. Yeah. I mean, the narrative of our
league is me and Ryan are points for duties.
Oh, my God. Ridiculous. They're 200 over the
pretty much one insane because only seven, seven
behind him now. And yeah, it's I don't know.
So, yeah, it's I know it's it's weird this year.
Seven, seven still up there. But yeah, you see
that once. You didn't even break 100, dude. Like,
I don't I don't have those problems like, sorry,
Joe, I know you never listen to these Joe, but
it's like, I had Caleb Williams, give me like
3 .7 points. Darren Waller got me zero. And I
still beat Joe by 30. With 180 Joe would have
been Joe had bone aches did 43. He threw out
40 did like, that's why If your quarterback throws
up 40 points, you should be winning your week.
And that's why I'm saying, like, you and Ryan
did, it's scary. Problem. It's scary. I know.
It's a good thing. He did just use Mike Evans,
didn't he? Who's that? Ryan. I don't think he
had him. I think Stefan has him. Yeah, he's done
for the season. I think they came out. Oh, you're
right bowls came out and said he's done for the
season So at least the fantasy season anyway
Yeah, which sucks because there goes his shot
at putting up another thousand yard season. He
would have broke He would be alone this year.
Yes, that's unfortunate, but Mike Evans He's
another one of those players that are just like,
how do you dislike Mike Evans? He stays out of
trouble. He like, he's just a beast on the field
and like you hate it. You hate to see any player
get injured, but it's like the good guys of the
league that you just like love to love when they
go down. It's like, really? Like that fucking
guy. We're gonna talk about a lot of that stuff
coming up guys The NFL trade deadline is coming
up. We're getting into that. We've got our hot
takes this week We are gonna jump into games
of the week again even though and my my picks
for games of the week have just been awful, so
I'm trying to turn that around this week, but
Of course as we announced the last week. We are
gonna get it kicked off this week with our death
taxes trivia question of the week. Before we
do that, though, guys, let's revisit last week's
question and give it an answer. We were talking
the coaching carousel, this one specifically
about college football. I know you've seen the
docs. I know you know the answer, but without
seeing the doc, would you have known what school
had the longest tenured head coach in college
football? Would you have known that? No. I would
have just because I know I was her parents has
been there forever and they've never had a great
QB. They just put out good tight ends like that.
George Kittle, Sam Laporta, multiple guys, Noah
Pham, a lot of these guys in the NFL all went
to Iowa. I think what's the name back in the
day started at maybe Dallas Clark might have
been like one of the first people to come out
of Iowa was like a tight end. But that would
have been my first guess. I don't see what I
thought. Maybe Ohio State. I don't know. It just
seems like college football now. It's just like
every sport. No, no way. If you're a woman. That's
Ohio State. To be honest, I was almost tempted
to guess Air Force. Because I believe Calhoun
is still a coach. I don't know. But I would have
gone with like a Mountain West school, to be
honest. Yeah, a smaller school. Who was the the
dude from Ohio State that went to the Jags for
what was it? What was his name? Urban Meyer.
Yeah, dude. Do you remember that whole episode
of the NFL? I mean, that dude, I mean, that dude
was a coach of University of Florida with team
Tim Tebow back in the day when they won, like,
you know, went to Ohio State, they won. And then
like, he went to Jacksonville. I don't know.
It's kind of like Nick Saban, dude, went to the
Dolphins. I probably actually would have guessed
Clemson. Now, I think about it with with Dabo
Sweeney. Yeah. You've been there for like, what,
15 plus years at least. Oh, yeah, probably. That's
at least 10. Yeah. Way more about college football
than I do. That's crazy. I don't know. I know.
Yeah. I like college football. I've liked it
before. And I am before it got popular. Well,
guys, if you didn't catch it, the answer to that.
Question what school has the longest tenured
head coach in college football that is Iowa University
of Iowa. So this week switching it back over
new theme. for the sports category this week.
They're talking blind resume. Okay. Um, that's
all we've got. We're trying to put together some
random facts for blind resume. So stay tuned
to the rest of the episode. We are going to be
dropping a hint for you to help you out. Um,
shout out death taxes and trivia. Did you guys
see the videos and the pictures they sent from
last week? People are crazy over the free pitcher
from GSC. I love it. Love the support. Thank
you guys. Yeah, that was awesome. It was awesome.
Nick Austin, you guys are great, man. Shout out
to you boys. Let's talk coaching carousel in
the NFL, fellas. Like I said, the trade deadline
is coming up, so inevitably we are going to see
some players on the move. I'll be real honest
with you. After this weekend, I was a little
bit surprised to not see some coaches get the
boot. You think that's coming at all? If so,
who you got? Mike McDaniel. Bye bye. I thought
he was gone after this week. That was the last
thing that came to mind. You're benched. I thought
by Monday, Mike Daniel was. Oh, I thought it
was going to be immediately after the game. That
was so horrendous. Already came out. Obviously,
Mike McDaniel. So there he already came out and
said to us is still the starting starting quarterback.
Yeah, I think Mike McDaniel is like, I don't
know. Maybe it's one of those things where it's
like, what are we going to do? Fire him right
now and have an interim coach that. we're already
one in six you know like what are we realistically
gonna do you know i don't know he made a comment
that was something along the lines of like if
you're not helping the team you could lose your
job or something like that i take that as he's
talking about too but i'm it's what i'm reading
and stuff like that is he's not talking like
who are you talking about then like You're not
doing your job, bro. Like you're kind of starts
with you and too. I don't know. Yeah, I don't.
I don't know. There's just a lot of problems
there, dude. They just they had that one. They
had that one year two years ago where they're
the number one offense. And it's like that's
what I'm saying. Everyone lives on that year
and it's like they've never been the same. Like.
I don't know, man. Yeah, I I think Michael Daniel,
I think if he doesn't get fired after last week,
they're letting him ride this season out. And
they're going to make a change at the end of
the season would be my guess. You think they,
so gosh, who would be a good fit in Miami? Cause
Tyreke is going to be gone to us. It's too ever
going to be good again. No, I think if you're
a head coach, you don't want that job because
of him. Right? Like it's how I look at it, dude.
I don't know. I wouldn't. I don't know. I just
even with like even two on his prime duty under
through Tyreek all the time. Like, I don't know.
Yeah, it doesn't. I don't know. I'm just not
a fan. Nothing against you to a personally man,
but I'm just not a fan of the way they play.
I don't know. Yeah, I mean, there is. So just
going back to your question, I think Pete Carroll.
One and done with Vegas, huh? I think Aaron Glenn.
Kevin Stefanski. Who is who's the coach in Arizona
right now? Is it getting on? Yeah, yeah, it's
getting OK. So my mind was right. Gaines is another
dumpster fire. It's getting no matter scanning
these old quarterback. Josh. I don't know. I
don't remember some Ganon. Yeah, you're right.
And then, uh, fuck, um, dude, uh, day ball. Okay.
So it's Jonathan again, first of all. Okay. Jonathan
Ganon. Thank you. I want to pause you there on
day ball because I don't want to spend a ton
of time talking about the Broncos game because
everybody everywhere was, it was insane. If you
haven't seen it, go look up the highlights of
this game. It was literally a historical Game
literally. Mm hmm. Yes. But with Dave all man
like now that he's got the two young hotshots
there for him with some decent players. Is he
on the block in your mind? Like it's it's hard
because the Giants have been bad for so long,
but like. I don't know, like. That's one of those
things like he's working with something. And
you see Daniel Jones leaving. He's doing fine
with Indianapolis. So it's like, that's a good
point. Why couldn't you do that with him here?
Like, what's the difference between him and Jackson
Dart? Like, because you look at Jackson's darts
numbers. Yeah, they're good, but his completion
percentage is not very good. You know? Yeah.
He's putting up good fantasy numbers and he's
running. He has these big throws, but I'll tell
you what it is. And I touched on it last week.
He's got the swagger that Daniel Jones never
did. He's got that swagger, dude. Him, Bo Nix.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like he's they
got the hype around the team. You did the social
media following all of the interviews, all of
the crazy antics and stuff like that. That energy,
man, you bring that energy out of the locker
room and put it on the field. That is the difference,
in my opinion. Like I get it, Daniel Jones is
doing great in Indy, but like. Yeah, just. two
totally different players, personalities. Yeah.
I don't know. I think David gets another year,
though. I do, too. I'm going to throw a wild
one out. John Harbaugh. Yep. I was going to say
John Harbaugh. Why Baltimore? I mean, I guess
like one in five. Well, like the worst defense.
Yeah, that's bad. Like you guys are favorites.
And Lamar's always out every year. So that shouldn't
be a surprise to anyone. You know, send sent
Harbaugh to Miami. I don't think he'd want to
go to Miami. He wouldn't. I mean, I don't know.
Yeah. I mean, I'm sure there's going to be five,
six coaches, you know, fired that we probably
brought up. Maybe we didn't bring someone out,
but you just know how that goes. It's You don't
have time to develop. I think we talked about
that the other week about, um, when they, whoever
I was watching, they brought up Peyton Manning.
They're like, you know, he threw those 28 interceptions
his first year. What quarterback are you leaving
in that long nowadays? You know, same thing with
the coach. How many, how long are you going to
leave a coach? You know, it's like half these
guys like Aaron Glenn, I'm surprised he's not
fired already, but it's like, what do you want
them to do? Like Tyrod Taylor came in and realized
Justin Fields had no one to throw the ball to.
So it's like, I think he like even understood.
It's just like, how are some of these NFL teams?
Like, did you see that video of that kid? That
was that New York Jets kid. I was born. I was
born into this. Like I'll always be a Jets fan,
but I hate this team. Poor kid, dude. Uh, poor
kid. It's like them in the Browns, man. You know,
you just talk to any Jets fan. It's like, that's
what it is. Like, man, like I I'm a fan for life,
but like, That's kind of how I feel about the
Rockies. You know what I mean? Born into being
a Rockies fan. Love me the Rockies. But it's
like, if you want me to get excited about the
baseball, it's not going to be for that team.
Yeah, because they're never going to have it.
They made that World Series that one year, dude.
Yeah. When they got smashed by Boston. Yeah.
Yeah. Super fun. Was that like 18 years ago now?
Yeah. A while ago now. So. Don't know I love
that you brought up The Jets though and and kind
of dealing with the mess there that kind of brings
me to my next point Honestly, so like Who's the
worst team right now Jets Raiders Cardinals and
Before you answer that I want to bring up an
interesting fact that I read Aaron Rodgers on
the Steelers Four and two so far. Okay looks
pretty good Aaron Rodgers on the Jets, five and
12 total. OK, Justin Fields on the Steelers,
four and two. Justin Fields on the Jets, oh,
and six. Man, it's like. I mean, you could even
throw. I should have done maybe my own research,
but like you could even like put in like Gino
Smith. what he did while he was in Jets bad.
What he did in Seattle and compared to what he's
doing in Vegas this year or yeah, with the Raiders
this year in Vegas, like his numbers, everything
was way better in Seattle. You know, even Sam
Donald, like look at him. He gets out of, you
know, he got the chance to Carolina, but going
to Minnesota and now Seattle, like compared to
the Jets, like they showed a graph last night
of his, you know, first four years in the season
compared to his last two now with Minnesota and
Seattle I don't know man it's like are the Raiders
like the West Coast like Jets like they're just
like everyone like knows about the franchises
and stuff but they're just not very good like
like Arizona I'll give it to him like Raiders
fans are like Jets fans man they're die -hard
doesn't matter doesn't matter if they get their
asses beat like they're still wearing their jerseys
every Sunday I respect it but I'm glad I'm not
a Raiders fan. Good for them, dude. But the Raiders,
man, it's I probably brought this up. I don't
know. At least a dozen times is ever since their
car broke his leg with the Raiders, man. It's
just been like MVP caliber season. Yeah. Yeah.
Raiders. I don't even know. They were like 13
and three that year or something crazy. No. Had
a great year. I think that was like the one year
that like my homes. They didn't win the AFC or
something. Like, I don't know. That was like
the last time I feel like the Raiders like did
anything and we're good. You know, obviously
they had that run in there. Maybe, you know,
you want to put a curse on stuff, maybe like
Tom Brady in that Walt Anderson, the ref and
Belichick cursed that after that, the tuck rule,
the buckle in the snow, whatever the tuck rule.
And it's like, Everyone wants to blame Brady
and Belichick, but it's like, that's just a rule,
dude. That's all it was like. And obviously,
you know, I got taken out after that game. But
like really since that game, the Raiders have
just kind of gone downhill pretty quickly. You
know, it's like, yeah, we talked about that stadium
in Vegas being cool and stuff. And, you know,
obviously, like you said, they still have fans
or still have a bunch of supporters and stuff.
Same with the Jets, you know, you look at their
games, it's they're sold out. Obviously they
still have a bunch of die hard fans, but it's
like, it's tough to watch your team when they're
doing that every week, you know? So I don't,
I mean, yeah, I think it's just something with
the Jets, man. I don't think the Raiders have
that bad of like the quarterback thing, just
maybe because they haven't had that many top
picks like the Jets have compared, but I don't
know, man. I don't I wouldn't want to be a fan
of either team like I don't I don't know who's
worse like I'm saying the Jets like I think the
rate like least the Raiders like not a win yeah
like man just like year in and year out it's
like I know it's tough to be a fan of either
of those teams it's just to go when you talk
about like fantasy players I'm sorry to cut you
off but like you're good Just reflecting on that
friggin beat down I got from Brandon this weekend.
High hopes for Ashton Jentzy, man. You know,
like I'm a Jentzy fan. I got to watch him play
last year in Boise. Like I high hopes. Ashtray
Jentzy, dude. And I think that there's something
to be said about, you know, the talent only gets
you so far when you're on a shit team. You know,
I should. It's it's so easy to put it in retrospect.
We're like, I should have just known better.
Like what? Don't fucking try it. Like, I don't
know, man. Brock Bowers. Great last year for
the Raiders. So I guess that's an anomaly. But
come on, man. Like, yeah. But where is he this
year? Yeah. Injured. That's different. Who's
not freaking injured this year, man? Like, good
Lord. Yeah, there's a there's a lot of them.
A lot of defensive players, I feel like more
than. Offensive, but yeah. I don't know. I don't
know. The Raiders are just, yeah. Bowers was
looking good. I don't know. Started out, I don't
know. Gino Smith just doesn't look good, dude.
No, he doesn't. Did you see the stat the other
day? They ran 30 offensive plays. It was like
the least amount of plays ran by an offense since
the year 2000. Yeah. Who was it they were playing?
They had more first downs than the Raiders ran
plays. I mean, I believe that it makes it hard
to win. Like, I'm not, you know, a statistician
by any means, but good Lord. They were playing
Kansas City and they were taking Chris Jones
was taking shots on the the sideline. Yeah. Of
Casamigos. Was he really? I don't know, but due
to look, it looks like a full Casamigos bottle.
Yeah. I mean, when in Vegas. The game was over.
It was the fourth quarter. Yeah. Was it? No,
it was in Vegas. Was it in Vegas? I'm pretty
sure it was in Vegas. I'm like 90%. Either way,
I know Mahomes didn't even play the fourth quarter.
I don't think most of a lot of their starters
even played the fourth quarter and they still
got shut out. Could have used 15 more minutes
of fantasy points. Thanks, Mahomes. It was in
Casey. Gotcha. And he finished with like 28 -29
points still not even playing the fourth. Yeah.
Yeah, it was like 26 Welcome back Rashi rice
Yeah, this is the number one QB this year Talk
about analyst analysis Everybody says Rashi rice
is back put him directly in your lineup paid
off great Everybody says George Kittle is back
Put him in your lineup. Put him in your lineup.
You know how many fucking leagues I had George
Kittle in this week, dude? Yeah, as many points
as Darren Waller. God. No, he didn't know he
had as many points as he had as many points as
Shadoor Sanders. Dude, he had two targets. They
didn't even try to hit the ball. I don't. Well,
and did you hear him? He was like, I was during
walkthrough. I was fully ready walking into the
game. 150 yards two touchdowns like walk -through
went great. I thought we were gonna be I was
gonna be getting targeted the whole game I enjoyed
that game. I thought that was pretty fun to watch
one of those things where it's more More him
and Brock party cuz that's the first time he's
played with Matt Jones. Yeah, so who knows like
first game back You never truly know like yeah
Rashid rice had a huge game and I think that's
him in my homes have a report together obviously
before that happens so good dude yeah my homes
I go to him he's like well since I blew out your
knee last season like since I'm the one that
took you down like let me throw the ball to you
and gets two touchdowns here so I mean speaking
of so we got these these quarterbacks that are
doing good yeah I was thinking about some quarterbacks
that like think out of like these are just some
names that came up like These guys have technically
got benched in their last game. Are they going
to get benched again? So the two that got benched
this week were two in Justin Fields and then
the other quarterbacks like like Trevor Lawrence,
man, like I don't know how they've won that many
games with how bad he looks. And then Gino Smith,
like you bench any of these guys like you just
ride with them, right? Like what do you do? You
and I had this conversation over the weekend
because I was up early once again. to watch this
frigging London game. That was my game of the
week last week. Jags are rolling. Hook is out.
Brian Thomas is back. Yeah, let's go. Yeah. And
then we got a full, full dose like. Coming in
dry, no lube, Trevor Lawrence gave it to you.
And I think you're right, Jordan, like you said
it, he's not good. No, he's not that good. No,
he missed all these names that you just gave
to and Trevor to the top paid quarterbacks in
the league How do you bench them? How do you
justify that to the people that are paying the
paychecks like? Just just like you did with Russell
Wilson. Oh, it's got to move on You got a lot
of go dude. You're still paying for that shit.
Yes exactly like I mean, I don't know So I don't
know if we talked about that. It was the last
week of the week before, like the Browns, like
are still paying for seven, seven quarterbacks
right now. And like four of them aren't even
on the roster. Like Kenny Pickett, uh, Jamis
Winston, Joe Flacco, you know, it's stuff like
that, but it's like, it's like the Broncos, they
moved on from Russell Wilson, dude, and they're
doing all right. You know, you just gotta move
on, let it go. Yeah. You, you're, you're throwing
away $200 million that you're guaranteed. You
got to pay this guy. But it's better to get rid
of how I still have How I feel like Jackson dude
has more power on that field than maybe any other
team realistically And it's like how I Think
we lost you Jordan. Yep. I was gonna say Jordan.
We lost you There you go. He got too fired up,
man. He got you. He was like, hey, whoa, whoa.
He was going on his hot take in it. It just took
over the mic. He was he was spinning fire. Can
you hear us? Oh, no, no. Jordan's gone. So I
think he touched on something. Jordan, you go
ahead and figure that out. Brandon, if you want
to mute him just in case he comes back. Dude,
I don't know, like. Where do you draw the line
of like when they're supposed to get benched?
You know, I mean like for one To uh, I mean so
with Trevor Lawrence You're winning games. It's
kind of difficult to ass stomp this weekend Yeah,
like maybe towards the end of the game if you're
getting shit wrecked like that, but at the same
time I Didn't mind his throw to Travis Hunter
for that touchdown Didn't look too bad, but I
still think Trevor Lawrence is. Cheeks, but should
we just throw Travis Hunter quarterback as well?
For Travis Hunter, just trade Trevor Lawrence
for Shadoor. That was just going to say that,
man. Let's get Shadoor down to Jacksonville.
Send Trevor up to Cleveland. There you go. Problem
solved. Perfect fit. Match made in heaven. Jordan,
are you there? Am I, is it working? We good?
All I was saying about Jacksonville though was,
I mean, I just feel like they have one of the
top like talented teams with some position players
they have. And I don't know, man. I just, I don't
know. I do like that take like Trevor Lawrence
up to Cleveland gets scored at man. Like. put
him with Travis Hunter, right? Like can't be
any worse than this is right now. Like the games
you're winning is your defense is keeping you
in it. You know, kind of like Chicago. Yep. Caleb
Williams. I don't know. He started out hot. He's
not looking so good lately. I don't know. Did
you guys realize in that Jacksonville game that
Travis Hunter didn't play any snaps on defense?
I did. I did. It's interesting. Yeah. Like what?
The and the Rams came he played one one snap.
I I know for sure cuz he batted the ball away
from Davante Adams on the sideline what I'm saying
is he didn't play enough no and well and That
was a great up to see oh someone else brought
that up They were like so you mean to tell me
you dropped this guy who supposedly you know
one of the best two -way players since Dion Sanders
and Matthew Stafford goes out for five touchdowns
and you don't give this guy opportunities on
defense. Is it, can it really get any worse than
the guys you got playing defense against them?
I mean, I forget who it was. So it was one of
the analysts was talking about it, but it's like,
yeah, like you got torched for five touchdowns.
Like, I don't know, try something, but. Try something
seriously. I don't know, man. But in other words,
I'll say, Once again, to his absolute dogshit,
just throw him into the trash because he is an
absolute dumpster fire. Give the man some credit.
Not this year. Brain is made of pudding. Yeah.
And his best wife was fried eggs up there. He's
out making more kids now. He doesn't have a lot
of a hospital ball. Oh, yeah. When you first
came in, they're back up because Zach Wilson
got demoted to third string. He wasn't even dressed.
It's like, so that whole debacle is a mess, too,
because it's like maybe Zach Wilson's one of
those dudes. He just needs a chance. He's never
gotten one since he left the Jets. He's the next
he's the next Jets quarterback. That's like,
as long as I'm not playing with the New York
Jets, I can have a winning record with another
team. So I mean, didn't play a little bit in
Denver. Oh, yeah. He had a nice little run. I
mean, we like we weren't top of the line by any
means, but he did all right. Him and Courtney
Sutton had a real nice connection. Yeah, but
it was bone next to that's. That's why he doesn't.
So I don't know. He could say there's a backup
in Denver, but I'm sure he went to Miami and
hopes to like getting a chance at playing. It's
like. I don't know, man, I can't get it like.
The way Tua looks against Cleveland last week,
like, it looked like he didn't care. Like, he
was, he was already back this season. And, like,
somebody give me a concussion, please. Yeah.
Get me off the field. Like, he's going to have
the most Russian attempts he's ever had next
game just to make that happen for him to end
his season quicker. Like, I don't know. It's,
I don't know. We'll see. I'm sure same as, like,
we were talking about with coaches, like, some
of these guys are going to get benched and...
might not be starters, you know, come this season
if not beginning of next season. And it sounds
like we'll see J .J. McCarthy back week nine.
So sorry. Lucky coming back this week, maybe.
Who? I did not see that. That would be good for
a lot. Maybe even Aaron Jones this week. Aaron
Jones is back this week, which is fine because
everything we thought Jordan Mason was pretty
mid. Yeah. Aaron Jones will play one game and
then he'll be injured by the next game or two.
Thanks. Did we see Brandon Ayuk? I kind of forgot
about Brandon. I say he ever going to play again.
He started practicing this week. OK. I did see
that he is officially at the practice facility.
Do you guys see that? Tyler Lockett asked for
a release, got released by Titans. I'll take
news that doesn't matter for 600 Jordan now.
I don't know. It's kind of like, I don't know.
What was the other game? Was it the Washington
commander's game? Robbie Chosen caught a ball
and I was like, Oh my God, this dude's still
around. Like, I think somebody, uh, Nick from
BDG, I don't know. Uh, shout out. Big dogs got
to eat that fantasy podcast. I'm pretty sure
he said it. He's like, I don't even know. He
fucking played in the league anymore. Seriously.
Yeah. Can you imagine like being at the point
in your career like Tyler Lockett where you can
just be like, you know what guys? I would really
just like to go to a winning team. So I'm gonna
buy Hope you get signed, right? I mean, yeah,
I mean your performance this year is abysmal
Hey, I got mad love for Tyler Lockett, dude.
That guy was amazing for a really long time So
I hope he does go somewhere we can get bring
him to Denver, man They need help. Yeah, they
were looking. They've been shopping receivers
anyway, so I would love to see him. But see him
in New England, too. Yeah, I mean, there's. There's
talks about. I mean, with the trade deadline
around the corner, there's a lot of talk right
now. That. Some of these people are going to
get traded. I mean, you see. I mean, there's
there's quite a bit up there on the list. First
one that comes to mind, Jacobi Myers, possibly
getting traded. I really loved the way that Jacobi
Myers handled that question. Did you see that
quote from him asking about, you know, if he
was going to get traded or whatever and if he
wanted to remain a Raider? And basically he's
like, you know what? Like, yeah, like I'm down
to get traded. But he's like, my biggest thing
is like, I just want to play good football. That's
all I want to do. And I was like, respect, dude.
Like, yeah, yeah. Well, did you see the Raiders
also told Max Crosby that we're not Yeah, no
shit. You're not shopping Max Crosby Yeah, and
it's a business like we talked about this couple
episodes ago And do who'd they do that to her
like oh, yeah, you're we're not shopping you
we you don't want to get traded and then you
find out from fucking Twitter. You're gone. Like,
can you imagine, dude? It's really easy for us
to sit here in our homes behind our, our microphones
and our computer and say, Oh, you know, you're
paying me that much money. I wouldn't care where
you send me, but it's like, it's kind of a big
deal, man. Like you, it's literally changing
your life. You got to move. Like this is all
you've known for the last however many years.
Like it's crazy. That is crazy. Yeah. Especially
when you got kids and my house and stuff you
grew up there Yeah, it's a lot you've developed.
You know your kids have grown up in the area.
They have friends They go to school like there's
a lot of things that go into it. I mean don't
get me wrong I'm I'm the one that's thinking
like a dad because I'm the only dad here right
now, so Jordan no Yeah, I have no idea Got two
little ruggers. One of them still awake, I think.
Oh, no, he passed out on the couch. No, it'd
be nice. I'll take it. That's an easy bedtime
tonight. Yeah, all of all of your talking and
analysis just put him straight to sleep. You
know, I'll take it. Will gladly take the easy
bedtime. I let wifey handle the young one. I
said I'll take the older one Put on some cartoons
for him do crashes out When in my gotta put on
that zed's dead live set man, that'll put As
you got to catch on you got to put on catching
Z's bro Exactly, dude. I swear I'll put on catching
Z's with Daxton doodle knock out. Oh, yeah four
songs I buy Phuket sunrise Dude's asleep. Because
we were talking about all these trades and stuff.
It's all speculation at this point. I am keeping
my eyes glued to a lot of these rumors, though,
because I do think it's fun to kind of follow
who knows what and kind of the excitement of
where they're going. But when it comes to fantasy,
I got to be real honest with you guys. I find
it incredibly difficult to trade in our league.
Dude. And I've pulled off a couple in my other
leagues, and I'll be the first to admit that
a bunch of my leagues, including GSC Maine, I
need to make some sort of move. But I get into...
Hey, we traded. We did. But that was, you know,
prior to me being sub -5 points this week. It's
just hard, dude, because I feel like they either
seem unfair to me or it's something that I don't
want. You know what I mean? Like, I just don't
know what to do. Are you guys pulling off any
trades? Well, Jordan, you had one recently. Pretty
decent. It's kind of interesting the way it went
down. Yeah, actually, I think it went through
this morning. Sometime I traded St. Brown from
Detroit for D .K. Metcalf and Muka for Tampa
Bay. It's kind of one of those things for me.
Like I think I have a higher upside with two
players than someone I know that it's just one
of those things I looked at around St. Brown
as he was like a Christian McCaffrey, like put
him down for 20 points. Like you knew you were
getting 20 points from him every week. It's just
one of those things where, I mean, we've talked
enough about like my team and the points, but
I just feel like I... You know, it's one of those
things where it's like I could put one of these
guys on the bench and Roll with one of them or
both of them, you know I don't know. I just I
thought it was more than a fair trade. I didn't
even make the offer Stefan actually did but he
actually reached out with instead of DK Metcalf
he had Devante Smith and I told him right down
there and I was like man if I didn't have AJ
Brown like I pulled the trigger on this trade
right now, but I was like, I just don't want
to have AJ Brown, Devontae Smith and Dallas Goddard,
you know, all on the same team. And he's like,
Oh, my bad. I didn't even see that. And then
he gave me an option of like three other players.
And I told him, I was like, I'll take DK. So
that's how I kind of went down. I hope that Stefan
is happy with this trade, but I have a feeling
Somewhere on the East Coast in the beautiful
state of Maine, he's kicking himself a little
bit because he was the Mike Evans owner. So he's
like, cool, I can get rid of Vigbuka who has
been in large part a badass. And I'll lean on
Mike Evans. And now he's down Mike Evans too.
That hurts. Getting Amon Rasayn Brown, that's
a score for sure. But losing those other two
in you know, and losing Mike Evans. Triple whammy.
I mean, I would have I've I think D .K. is a
great pick up. I would. Yeah, I mean, that's
super solid. Well, D .K. Tyler Lockett reunion
coming in Pittsburgh. Interesting to see what
happens. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. I don't
know. I think for me, obviously, I think Mbuka
is the better play out of this for me. I think
he's someone that he didn't have a great game
last night, which sucks, but he's still at a
high, you know, amount of targets. And that was
just like a really off game for Tampa Bay that
is... Yeah, Baker didn't look very good either.
Yeah, they didn't look like they were... in source
Baker had a bunch of overthrown balls. I don't
know. They just didn't look great. Yeah, I mean,
Tampa Bay didn't look very solid yesterday, but
I love how everyone's like, oh, there goes Baker's
MVP. And I'm like, I mean, one game ain't going
to judge the judge this season. I mean, you could
pass three. Mean do like one game isn't gonna
judge your MVP voting. It's consistency throughout
the season Obviously right now. I think the front
-runner is Still Baker. I still got Drake May
up there and I mean Josh Allen My homes like
you still got you know these top -tier quarterbacks
Maybe you throw golf in there, but their run
game has just been dominant, to be honest. Comeback
player of the year, Daniel Jones. Is didn't they
change the rules on that, though? Do they where
it has to be an injury? I thought that's what
it was. Oh, I did not know that at all. I thought
I heard something about it being you have to
actually have an injury. It can't be like Oh,
you were not playing for a team. I thought it
was truly injury. Probably that would make sense.
Well, should we move on into our games of the
week, boys? We don't have to talk about my pick
last week, the Rams and Jags. That was if you
thought that was going to be the game of the
week, man, I'm really sorry you got up to watch
that. Like, man, even, like, the Jags defense,
like, stopped them enough to make the game interesting.
But, like, the Jags, like, they get the ball
back and, like, to be, like, three and out. And,
I don't know, something about those early European
learning games, dude, and, like, we'll see if
the next one's coming up in Berlin and Madrid
or any better. But it seems like a lot of those
early games, dude, are not very good, I don't
know. I agree. Well, let's hit it for this week
then. Jordan, kick us off. So I'm going to go,
I know we touched a little bit on that Broncos
game, like definitely should have lost last week
to the Giants. It's one of those things where,
sorry to tell people, people are going to look
back at this game and the Broncos make the playoffs
or something. It's going to be one of those things.
not how many, and people are just gonna look
at that score. They won a game, you know? That's
all it comes down to. They won the game. That's
all that matters at the end of the day. But the
Cowboys are coming to the Broncos now, and it's
like, if the Giants were doing that to the Broncos,
like, I... Cowboys' defense, I feel like, is
rolling right now, man. I thought, in my league,
Cody, someone put up was... Trying to trade CD
lamb and Pickens and Rob was asking me who's
a better player and I told him I think CD lamb
is but I said honestly, I think CD lamb going
out and Pickens doing what he did with Prescott
like it's only gonna help both those guys like
so Javante Williams looks great Jake Ferguson
had a great game They're scary man Dak Prescott.
It's like one of the hottest QB's in the NFL.
That's the number one passing offense in the
league right now, right? And then right behind
him is surprisingly New England. So this is one
of those things where, yeah, Patrick Sertane
might be on CD RAM all day, but. So George Pickens
has a huge game. As much as I want the Broncos
to win, dude, and like, and as much as I despise
the Cowboys. I'm picking the Cowboys. Can't disagree
with you there. I can't argue, man. If I'm a
betting man, which at this point I probably shouldn't
be, I don't think the Cowboys here, dude. I thought
that the fourth quarter in the Broncos game was
nothing short of a miracle. There was a lot of
things that happened that if it happened the
other way, that game ends and the Broncos suffer
an embarrassing loss to the shitty giants, you
know what I mean? So their defenses is great.
I, I'm not comfortable anymore saying that it's
elite when you've got a rookie quarterback and
a rookie running back that they just, they make
you look like crap all day long. And then you've
got the hottest offense coming in. I don't think
bone X and our offense can keep up. So even if
our defense is, is great on Sunday, I don't think
our offense can keep up. Give me the give me
the Cowboys I'll go next Jordan I feel like I
probably swooped this one from you as the homer,
but I'll take Packers and Steelers man Rogers
It's in Pittsburgh is that right Pretty sure
maybe yeah, I think it's in Pittsburgh Yeah,
and it's the first game in I don't know how many
years where both teams are wearing yellow helmets
and The Steelers are wearing their mustard packets
Fun fact, okay. Yeah I'm excited for this one.
I think I Think these two teams are pretty similar
in my opinion Jordan love hasn't looked amazing
to me Um and I think they are really they they
need someone to stand out on offense. I'm not
sure if um what's his name. The other guy that's
coming off of IR. He's hurt right now. What's
his name? No, no, no, no, no, no. No, he's he's
been playing for Green Bay. Wicks. Name like
all the players. I don't know who else was injured.
I'm drawing blanks now. Christian Watson. Oh.
Oh, I forgot about him. Yeah, exactly. How is
he supposed to come back like week four? I don't
know. Reading it now. It looks like he may be
coming back this week. So if that's the case,
just another weapon. It's going to take him a
while to get up to game speed. I just think it's
interesting because this offense is going to
need something because Jordan Love doesn't look
great. Steelers, I think, have really surprised
a lot of people. So honestly, in my opinion,
this one's kind of a toss up for me. I am going
to take the Steelers at home, but I do think
it's going to be a good game. I would guess that
it's probably going to be one of the higher scoring
games of the week, in my opinion, as well. Yeah,
it's the, you know, it's a Sunday night game.
Smart NFL. Yeah, I don't know, man. I mean, it's
one of those things where it's like when Rogers
played the Jets, like wanting to beat them really
bad. Sure, Rogers wants to beat Green Bay really
bad. Yeah. I don't know, man. Like, yeah, the
Packers don't look great. Like, they should have
lost to Arizona this past weekend. Which is crazy
to say. Yeah. I mean, I think Jacoby Percept
is better than Kyler Murray. I don't know, man.
This is a tough one to pick. I'm going to go
with the Steelers throughout home. That defense
Sunday night, like, I think they're going to
get the Jordan love. Yeah, I Think for me just
knowing that This is Pittsburgh is gonna be behind
Rogers doing everything they can to you know,
basically just Give the middle finger to Green
Bay and everything and just you know be there
for him. I think I'm going to roll with Pittsburgh
in this. So, yeah, and then in terms of my game
of the week, I'm actually going with a Thursday
night game, Vikings, Chargers. I mean, you said
JJ is coming back this week, Cody, not this week.
Now we got Carson Wentz still there this week.
I mean, I. Really have liked the way once has
been playing he does not look bad but If they
get Aaron Jones back We'll see but I'm gonna
still go with the Chargers in this at home see
what happens I don't know. This one's kind of
a toss -up. I thought the Chargers at the beginning
of the season looked like they were going to
the Super Bowl with how good they looked at the
beginning of the season. I don't want to use
that as an excuse for them, just because you
brought up earlier, Cody, is injuries. Every
team's got injuries. Like, everyone's going through
it. I don't know. I think as long as Wentz doesn't
throw two interceptions, see if he throws two
touchdowns, one interception. They won the game.
I'm gonna go to Vikings. I like it, man. I like
it. My gut tells me to take Chargers at home.
But one thing that I'm really liking from the
Vikings right now is Jordan Addison is playing
out of his mind. I think he looks really good.
So whoever their number one corner is in LA,
match up with Jedis all you want. Jordan Addison's
been running on people man, so I'm pretty excited
that Carson Wentz has been able to service both
of them and I don't think it really care or it
really matters that JJ McCarthy is not there
I Kind of want to take the Vikings as well, man.
I'll take Vikings here cool All right, Brandon,
what else you got for us? Well, gents, rest in
peace to everyone that was in the OG Survivor
League. Got you both this week? Nope. I'm still
in, but I got the dub. That a boy. I didn't realize.
Who did he pick that he got booted? He took the
Steelers. Ouch. And who did you pick? I took
New England this week. OK, yes. I was it was
down to me and Seamus and I totally was like,
I'm going to take the Patriots this week against
Tennessee. Felt confident in it. And when I saw
that he pit when he picked that, he picked Pittsburgh,
I was a little shocked. I was like, wow, he didn't
take New England. I I totally thought he was
gonna pick the same team as me and Then once
that happened, I was like, well now I'm definitely
taking New England and just gonna kind of rub
this in your face. So Seamus Well, sorry, man
Had to beat you and survivor. I thought you were
taking the Patriots as well Unfortunately, it
didn't so it's nice work, dude Hey, I just gotta
say like I am gonna keep going in that league
to see how far I can get though Oh, I think you
should. I'm going to try and see if I can make
it the whole season. And if I do, I'd be so pissed
that I didn't do the same strategy I did in my
big pool and go fucking win money. I think that's
kind of fun about Survivor Jordan. I don't know
if you play any survivor, but it's kind of interesting
because it's like. You can only pick the team
once. Yeah. So it's really easy to pick the obvious
ones where it's like. Yeah, obviously, like,
we know that the Chiefs are going to blow out
the Raiders, right? Like, that's, that's easy.
But you can't pick them again, then you can't
pick them again later in the season when there's
only four or five people left in the league or
whatever. So like, that's, I think that's been
kind of my downfall brand in the last two years
in the Survivor League is I try to pick the ones
that are kind of close. Then try to get them
right and it screwed me in this league, but okay
so to give you a rundown Let's just go week by
week with what I've done so far week one I took
the Eagles over the Cowboys week two I took the
Chargers over the Raiders week three I took the
Bills over the Dolphins week four I took the
Lions over the Browns Week five took a Vikings
over the Browns six. I thought I was gonna die
but I took the Broncos over the Jets. Then this
last week, I took the Patriots over the Titans
this week. I'm taking, I think, the bucks over
the Saints. Or. I'm going to. Take a leap of
faith on this and just finally take Indy and
kind of see. I'll just take Indian. Roll another
week, but I'm trying to keep some of these bigger
market teams that I know are being decent right
now Towards the end like I don't want to use
Kansas City. I don't want to use Pittsburgh I
don't want to use Green Bay yet. Like I don't
want to really use the Colts yet I don't want
to use the Cowboys yet Like I want to save them
for those games where they I I'm a little bit
more comfortable with them right now you're like
I look at some of these and I'm like Cincinnati
over the Jets That's one I'm tempted on to Niners
over the Texans. Eh. You know what I mean? That
one's pretty close. That one's pretty close.
The split on. On here actually has a favorite
as Houston in that. I don't know how or why.
I don't either. No, Nico Collins. Like, come
on. Like they're all terrible. Yeah. I mean,
I could go take Atlanta over the. Dolphins too.
We'll see. I haven't made my decision. I've made
my decision in the other league, but I don't
know what I'm going to roll with. Well, guys,
it is still open if you want to get into the
Second Chance Survivor League, right? That's
correct, right? They can still join. I think
so. You just start a week behind everybody else.
Maybe not. I don't know. Jordan, I might invite
you to this. And if you. By the way, by some
miracle, I survived our chop league this week.
I saw that I did. Shout out, Drew. I'm sorry,
man. I don't know how that happened. I was on
the block the entire week. I started the weekend
on the block. And you texted me you're like bro.
This is the week. I'm getting chopped out. There's
there's no like my time has come I had Zach Charbonneau
last night the guy that got chopped had Darnold
and Who else did he have last night? You had
one more player doesn't matter Niko Yeah. Oh,
yeah, that that's probably what did it right
there is Niko but I ended up Making it through
so I live to spend some more money on the waiver.
Where are you? Are you prepared to go spend some
money this week? Yeah, are you getting in there?
Cuz how much money do you have? Oh, you're chopped,
huh? So it doesn't matter. I'm dropping all but
actually Genuinely, if someone knows within sleeper
what the halos and the devil horns mean in the
graveyard, I would love to know the information
behind that. Yeah, Ryan touched on that in our
group chat. Yeah, that'd be it'd be interesting
to get some facts behind that. Like I from what
I've heard is the halos are people that were
like actually supposed to be dropped. And the
devil horns are people that were like screwed
up screwed over by their team essentially having
a terrible week. Yeah. If you know, drop a comment,
Cody, opening it up your gap a little bit in.
I'd be well ahead if I hadn't had that bad week
in. I'm nipping at your heels now. I've officially
stepped into dude. I went from like Fifth or
sixth, maybe even seventh all the way up to second
in two weeks. Yeah Pickums are fun. I should
put some money on that because I'm doing alright
Bro if I mean just money line every game you'd
probably be in the green besides week five Well
guys good luck by mcgeddon this week Six teams,
right? Happy early sports equinox. That'll be
next Monday everyone Where all four major leagues
are playing so happy early sports equinox, we
will not Be here next Monday. So I'm planning

sponsor want to shout out death taxes trivia
We are gonna drop our hint for this week's question.
So our Treasure Valley listeners, please listen
up again. This is blind resume and This week's
hint for their question that they're gonna ask
you is This team has not allowed an opposing
running back to rush over 50 yards in a single
game all season Okay, we're talking NFL here.
So keep that in your pocket. Don't be a cheater,
even though I know first thing I'm doing is going
straight to my cell phone looking that up. Don't
worry about it. My favorite team. This team has
not allowed an opposing running back to rush
over 50 yards in a single game all season. Again,
guys, we're going into week eight. That's pretty
crazy. Didn't even know that and I that's my
That's really crazy. So again, thank you death
taxes and trivia. We really appreciate you guys
Whoever's listening. Enjoy the free beer guys
anything else I'll drop one more baby hint for
that This team has only lost twice this year
take that with that what you will Okay, fair
enough that that should narrow the field quite
a bit Just just be a genuine person and and think
