Also, Max is on the couch. By decree of Pug. Max is on the couch. And Pug said that Max should be on the couch.

So Max is on the couch. I'm just going to do bad, bad things here so I can go back to the booth. Oh, what are you going to do? Look at your phone and not listen to us.

Real bad things. Maybe I'll just interrupt and be disrespectful. Max became you got scared when you sat down on this guy. I don't like looking at you.

Yeah. You're one of those dogs. You're comfortable. You're dog.

You'll bark when there's a fence up and then they open the gate. You need a pillow in front of your stomach. I do need to grab that one right there. There you go.

Talk about their son. All right, Thursday night football was incredible. The Bengals, Jamar Chase kills the Ravens and holy shit. He had a night.

What he ended up with two fifty two sixty four. He had eleven receptions two sixty four three touchdowns three touchdowns. Three touchdowns. Long at 70 yards.

And how do you feel? How do you think that Mike Brown feels about this game? Because he's like, this is awesome. I'm so glad that our team is is competitive.

God damn tomorrow, Chase is good. Good draft pick by me. But then he's like, oh shit, I also have to pay the guy. And we lost.

Yeah. And we lost. And that's the story because the Bengals, it was basically a repeat of the first time these two teams played where you watch this game and the Bengals were up twenty one seven and half or right after the half and you're like, Oh man, the Ravens look bad. They looks like just kind of discombobulated.

They couldn't get any drives going and then boom, Marlon Humphreys with a great strip and that changed everything because then the Ravens scored and they scored again. And it was just the game was on and the Ravens are you can't make mistakes against the Ravens. Like the Bengals again, this is another Joe Barrow has played perfect against the Bengal or the Ravens and they have no wins to show forth this year. Yeah.

So game one against the Ravens, they lost forty one to thirty eight tonight. They lost thirty five to thirty four. That's that's where it's like with another team has your number. Yeah.

Like you played almost to the best of your abilities as a team. And what's crazy is like I'm walking away from this Bengals game and I'm thinking the Bengals are one of the best teams in the AFC. Yeah, they're probably not going to make the playoffs. No, they might not make the playoffs.

And yeah, Joe Barrow against the Ravens this year has eight hundred yards and nine touchdowns in one pick. And they just they just they can't make mistakes against the Ravens. That's just how they are. I mean, I still the Ravens defense obviously Kyle Hamilton going down was very big because you could you could feel that, especially with Jamar Chase's like that.

That was incredible where the Ravens are sorry. The Bengals go up twenty twenty one and then it was like, oh, oh, yeah, that was that was a play, right? That was a seven yard touchdown pass. The seven yard touchdown pass to Wallace was no, no, no, no, I'm saying the Bengals when the yeah, the Ravens went up twenty eight twenty one.

They get the two point conversion and it was one place seventy yards to Jamar Chase. You're like, yeah, the Bengals get like they'll they're the best team. Jamar Chase is the best player ever. He gets faster after he catches the ball.

He doesn't look that fast. I know, but he glides and he just glides through everybody and he takes like perfect angles. Good understanding of geometry. That's what they've always said about Jamar Chase.

Yeah, one at night for the Bengals offense and they just didn't have enough to stop the Ravens. And it really was that it was that fumble because of that fumble. The game's twenty one seven there and you just felt like the Ravens were like fans were booing guys were yelling stuff. It felt like the Ravens were kind of lost and that fumble sparked everything.

And then they scored three three unanswered touchdowns and you know, end up winning on the last play, which by the way, there was probably some holding. Also, that's that's why you kick the extra point there and you take it over time on road. You don't want to make mistakes. You put a lot of weight on one play.

We've always said that. Yeah, against a superior team or game. No one thought that you were going to win at halftime. You take the point there.

Yeah, I get you with this act, Taylor. Yeah, we if you're watching us on stream in the gambling cave, we were rooting for an extra point because of gambling, but now we're out of the gambling cave. That was the correct call to go for two. Yeah, 100%.

You got to go for two there. There was a little too much time left with the Ravens having to like I thought the Ravens were going to win no matter what, even if the Bengals got that two point conversion, there was two timeouts and like 25 seconds left. That was Lamar Jackson going to just go down the field. Yeah, Lamar finds a way there.

Justin Tucker. Yeah, watch this. It feels like the Ravens might be destined to get into a close playoff game against, I don't know, the Kansas City Chiefs to get out kicked. I hope that's not the case, but there's something up with Justin Tucker.

There's definitely something up with Justin Tucker helmets and the uniforms that I appreciate the homage to color rush, the Thursday night tradition that we used to have in this country when we were a proper country. Yeah, that being said, Big Cat, I know that you feel a certain type of way about the Ravens, black uniforms at night. I agree. Well, that's they're not uniform.

It was just good that the Ravens won this game because if they had lost this game, you could have just pointed to the fact that you handed the game over by not wearing your black uniforms at night. Yeah, that would have been it right there. But yeah, the purple is a little candy. Yes, I do like that they tried something different.

I would rather than just go with the black uniforms at night because those are unstoppable. Max, what were your thoughts about the game? I had nothing. Okay.

Yep. They're having a great time. I know it's right now. I can hear me through the soundproof booth.

I don't think I've seen Hank smile this long time. Give me your breakdown. I got horrible. I got horrible.

You're not ready for the bright lights. It's pugger. You think this is works? Should we keep this?

Should we keep him in here for fire fest? No, I don't know. We're going to kick him out for weekend preview because. Yeah, no, don't listen to Hank.

I think we need a little longer to test it out. All right. So we're going to kick you out for weekend preview and then when we do fire fest, you'll be back on the couch. That's fair.

Max, just participate in the podcast for one second. Did you like the football game tonight? Football football football football. All right.

So realistically, I need to be kicked out. I should be kicked out. I thought it was a great game. Great.

There's an football game. I'll be kicked out. Watch. You love sports when you're in that booth.

Yeah, I fucking love sports. Okay. So looking at the schedule, the Bengals have to win. They can lose maybe one more game.

I don't even know if they can lose one more game. I don't know. If they lose one more game, they're very close to being eliminated because that would be nine and seven be the best or no, sorry, they could lose one more game because ten and seven, maybe ten and seven. So here's what their schedule is at the Chargers, not an easy game.

Harbaugh Bowl stealers at home. Cowboys, dak will still be out because he's on IR right. Titans. Bronco Steelers.

You're talking about the Bengals. The Bengals. Yeah. They can't the hardball ball.

Oh, sorry not the hardball You're right. They played later if that's I was confused, but they do have the hardball was later They do have the opportunity to let's see when they lost one hardball. Yeah, so that means that they might go in They're gonna beat the other hardball. Yeah.

Yeah, that's right. So I think they could I'm never gonna give up on the bangles I don't know what it's a sickness at this point. We've done the not gonna give up on Joe Burrow. We've done the look ahead at their schedule I think every single week I think we started doing it after they beat the Panthers in week four This was the this was the game though that we circled like you win this game you're back to 500 now you have some wiggle room now You can you know realistically lose two games finish ten and seven get in the playoffs I yeah, they have to they can take one more loss on the season and listen I I think they could do it if they could beat the Chargers.

I think they can do it. It's crazy to say I think they might be able to do it two games against the Steelers Cal Cowboys is a win Titans should be a win Browns Broncos at home those should be wins So it's basically comes out to two games against the Steelers and again against the Chargers Can you go two and one in those games also Cooper Rush though? Can you go two and one in those games and the Ravens now? I mean, they're yeah, they're just really good I I didn't understand Jerry was saying that he was wanting the Bengals lose so they would just get out of the picture I understand what he was saying because if you're if you're a fan of a team that has like a bit arrival like Pittsburgh does with Baltimore I know that Cincinnati's been in that equation recently But he would much rather focus all of his energy as a fan on one team to hate as opposed to spreading out to two teams I'd rather take the two-game lead That's a lot of people for Jerry to have to wish injury on there's two teams that he has to I'd rather take the two-game lead because it with the Bengals were never gonna be like a threat to win the AFC North They were gonna be a threat to getting a wild card the Ravens are now seven and three Yeah, you know, it's not that that's gonna be a fight in the AFC North They have to I think the Steelers are Raven still have to play two times I would have I would have thought the same way but Jerry's he's a different bird So he wants to be able to just focus on one enemy.

It's gonna be man I'm is it crazy that I'm like already so excited for the playoffs because I'm just looking at the AFC playoffs And it's just that that Chiefs bills Ravens not even talking about the Steelers and text like man I think good team. I think we're just amped up from a good football game Yeah, I take this as a as a harbinger of things to come for this weekend So Thursday night kicks off and it's an awesome game. You know that Sunday's gonna bring it. Yeah, set the tone Okay, Max any last thoughts the Eagles beat the shit out of the Bengals.

Okay, that's good All right, let's kick it to ourselves We're gonna have Hank come back on the couch for the weekend preview And then we have Ron Rivera and then we'll do fire fast with Max back on the couch weekend preview brought to you by our friends a Game time football season is here and we can't wait to get out to some games this fall with the help of game time the official ticketing partner Barstool sports, you know much we love game time now with the brand new game time picks feature They're making it even easier to get to a game game time picks filters out the fluff to show you only incredible deals on great Seats so you don't have to waste time searching through thousands of tickets I was looking at tickets patriots and bears play this weekend in soldier field Hank you get it for under $200 a hundred 76 I'm seeing is the cheapest gonna be a huge game Nice weather a lot of people in Chicago will be going out next game time So game time picks deals for great seats only on game time Just pull up your chosen event turn on the GT pick setting at the top of the screen A browse the best local game time picks the only on your game time at home page What are you waiting for?

Oh boy.

Oh boy. So are we gonna boycott this game or not? Because if you're mad at the NFL for anything you can say that you're gonna boycott the games It's been going back since like 2010 that people been like oh, I don't like this happen I'm gonna boycott this is the actual time when you could possibly boycott a game Yes, they would you could have the lowest ratings of all time at any football game Yeah, I I'm gonna keep an eye on it. I think here's my plan I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna turn it on and then I'm going to stay in bed and then just kind of let whatever happens happens okay If that sounds like you're gonna watch it.

I'm probably gonna watch it. Yeah, I'm gonna keep an eye on it I'm gonna be with my kids. I'll probably you know have the phone in my hand watch it. It's gonna be bad I actually think the Giants are gonna win.

Do you know the Giants are leading the league in sacks 35? Yeah, they're deep as a line very good. Yeah, here's a crazy stat about the Giants. They're favored in this game Yeah, that's crazy.

Yeah, that's crazy stat because they haven't been favored since week two of last season Yeah, 24 straight games 24 straight games where they've been underdogs and it week two last season They beat the Cardinals 31 to 28 as four and a half point road favorites. It's crazy Yeah, and wild ride for the Giants. I chubba hover just got resigned Good for him. I just I don't the Giants are also the best international team or three no all time Exactly.

So I I like the Giants in this game just because I'm gonna bet it because it's gonna be on and their defense is actually good And that's really the only thing you can point to I mean Daniel Jones Maybe he's gonna run more maybe he'll get more than one yard passing Yeah in the first half I think he's gonna run and I also think he could pass in this game too because the panthers pass defense absolutely stinks Yeah, no pass rush whatsoever. If you're gonna get a good game out of Daniel Jones, it's gonna be this one Yeah, so you know, so so we had the idea of the tuber bowl Last week is obviously two two win teams. So we'll figure out Maybe this is like a play in game for the tuber bowl Did you know that they used to play a third and fourth game play game in the NFL? Yeah, it's awesome.

It's called the playoff ball also known as the burt bell benefit bowl I love that and the lions were the best team ever in the burt bell benefit bowl. They were three no all time and apparently Vince Lombardi hated it so much He used it as motivation to like get to the super bowl being like you don't want to have to fucking go play in this game You want to play in the loser's game? No, but I wish they had bring this back like AFC and ISC championship game week before just play a third Place game. I mean that would make the pro bowl look like playoff speed.

Yeah, the third and fourth place seems I definitely don't want to be there And also we just like we get a definitive answer you were how close were you to winning a Super Bowl? Right, you could probably say if one team beats the other team by a significant margin in the burt with the burt bell benefit bowl Burt bell benefit bowl. Yeah, if one team blows the other one out then you could see those results and be like well We would be in that team. So really the NFC championship game was a Super Bowl Yeah, it also is partially responsible for the dolphins becoming freshers because he used to play in Miami So they're like, hey, we should get a team here kind of cool.

Yeah. Yeah, the burt bell benefit Burbell was the fifth NFL commissioner if anyone's wondering. Oh, I was I was wondering he introduced competitive parity at the NFL to improve the league's commercial Viability and promote its popularity. I sounds like just some mumble.

It's a marketing resume. Yeah, yeah Marketing was they came up with that. I think introduce competitive parity means hey, we should these games should be better Yeah, I would not the best players. Yeah, they stop stop letting the teams just draft players from their region So we can make some of these teams better.

Would you want to have a third place game named after you? No, I don't think I would definitely not but it is good name purple in uh, yeah, LaBarti used to call it the ship pole now losers bowl for losers. Okay, so what they should actually do though Is they should do the the last team the team that's slated at number one in the draft? Yeah, it's a team to start at number two and have them play and then the winner of that would get the number one overall draft I agree with that.

That would be very fun. Uh, but yeah, the burbell benefit pole. Okay, let's do uh, the regular slate start with bills at cults Uh, we don't know kyank home in my p-bank. Don't maricopa obviously miss last week.

You might miss again Uh, the cults didn't reach the red zone last week against the Vikings. That's not good. Not good I weirdly think this might be a good spot for the cults So I was thinking about Jonathan Taylor because the last time they played, uh, I think Taylor had 185 yards and five touchdowns Now you look at the quarterback and they're gonna go with flaco. They're gonna stick with flaco.

Um, under flaco Taylor has 29 yut rushes for 106 yards. Yep, 3.6 yards per carry. Yep, under Richardson He's got 76 rushes for 396 yards 5.2 yards per carry, which makes sense He's he's a much much more efficient running. Yeah, he opens up opens everything up You gotta be worried about him running as well.

So what they have to do is they have to get flaco on the move early Yeah, dude do like a little rpo with flaco and just make the defense think that maybe joe flaco is going to run at some point during the game And then john thot will be much better I like the cults in this game simply because when you make the switch to joe flaco, you're essentially saying we have to make the playoffs this year Yeah, because you wouldn't make it otherwise. So you're like, hey, we're making the switch We're gonna try to get to the playoffs this year. This is a must win for the cults also kind of a weird spot for the bills And the fact they just played the dolphins at home. They essentially wrapped up the afc east and they have the chiefs on deck So I don't I don't think the cults are better than the bills, but I just I don't know plus four feels like a game Maybe the cults maybe hungry dog.

Have you decided on my good dog? I haven't decided that I was not thinking cults cults although If anything Richardson plays oh you want anything rich that boosted up. Yeah, okay, so I think that the cults are gonna be able to run the ball Not be a matter of words. It's bad.

It's bad bad stat to have from a game Yeah, I don't even get close to really sort of touchdown or even like a good look at the end zone And to your drink may point from earlier in the year. It's like just play it. Why if you're if you have them. Yeah play it Well, they're trying to make the playoffs.

You can't even get in the red zone. Yeah, no so Play your you know future the thing about the cults is if they are trying to get to the playoffs They're like the perfectly average team in the NFL. I think that they can beat any bad team I think they can compete against good teams So they can lose by one score to most teams in the NFL But they're like the position you have yourself in with Joe flaco starting is you're going to just sell out to make the playoffs as potentially the Last season playoffs and probably losing first, right? Which will make your draft pick so much worse.

Correct if you had just played Anthony Richardson Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, what's the best case scenario for flaco? The only thing it would have made sense if they traded Anthony richard. Yeah, because then we're like yeah, we're done and we're fully done From my friends and sports infill solutions if the cults do go too high trying to limit Josh Allen's passing The bills are the best running team against too high and the cults are the worst defensively in that formation So maybe some James cookovers.

Okay, just something to think about just putting a little nugget in your head I also had this one Jordan Phillips on the bills this week said he's an acquired taste and they like how I taste Talking about the bills. Okay, so what do you guys think you taste like? No comment. I don't think I taste good.

No, I can't freeze. Yeah, how much pineapple have I had that day? Cheetos Maybe some Cheetos. Yeah, I'm salty.

Yeah salty and sweet But that's a very funny quote to say I'm an acquired taste and they like how I taste So how long has he been on the bills? How long did I mean that they hated him? I think he's just an acquired taste. He's just someone who you know it takes a while to get used to this type of taste He's been on the bills this year.

Yeah, so since they like how he actually was traded this year He was traded this year. That's where the acquired comes from. He's got the acquired taste. They literally acquired him.

Yeah, they acquired the taste Oh, no, he's been on the bills multiple times. I'm sorry He's been on the bills three different times. Uh, so they must just keep wanting to come back for the taste They keep acquiring him. Yeah over and over again.

He's gone uh Dolphins bills Cardinals bills Giants Cowboys bills. Yeah, he's like malord They can't get written. They can't they can't stop thinking about the taste of Jordan Phillips Yeah, well what they get a taste of him and they're like, I'm never tasting this again The app never drink it again. Yeah, and then you're later like I might as well take one more shot Yeah, he was released right before the trade deadline in the bills picked back up So yeah, they just keep coming back for more tastes So what are we gonna do about the tickets this weekend bills at Colts?

We got two Colts tickets What about Colts fans? Yeah, first person in a video of them throwing somebody through a table or getting thrown through a table or pit Just find a pit somewhere Pit find a pit what about just a Colts fan if we have maybe a Colts fan who also is a Josh Allen fan how they would prove that I don't know maybe they have a Josh Allen jersey Courts fan Colts fan with a horse Colts fan with a horse? I like that. Yeah, I like that If you can fight or just really a picture of you riding a horse.

Ah, what about a Colts fan with a buffalo? Yeah, if there's any out there that gets number one backup is gonna be close fan with a horse Yeah, you get two tickets to the game. Uh, okay, uh next game Hank Patriots at Bears I think the Bears could lose this game. I don't want that to happen I'm going to bet this will not be a hunger dog.

I'm going to place a large way you control the I know I'm saying I'm you're gonna bet that it's not in the hungry dog. You decide that no It's not going to be a hungry dog period. I'm going to bet big. Oh, it's plus six.

Okay, okay I think the Patriots can keep it close cover that but I don't want I like I hope the Bears show up in the end I'm wrong about them quitting. Uh, the DJ Moore fallout has been weird even more He came he did it. He did an interview and was like, yeah, I got injured on that play Still a lot of smoke there. Yeah, they were asking about losing the locker room and he was kind of non-committal about that He doesn't want to say that.

Yeah, which means that he wants to say yeah, he wants to say it Bears get a little bit healthier on the offensive line. I think Montez sweat will be back I think Gordon will be back. I I don't know I just They got to win this game By three touchdowns for me to feel anything three touchdowns for me to feel like excited because next week is Packers and the onslaught of the NFC North So I know what's coming They have to look so good that I have no choice put to say the Bears are back and I feel really good about the rest of season On the flip side is there what percentage hope or like desire is there for the Patriots to win by like three touchdowns and you're flus They've never fired a coach need season. So what was it?

If I thought there was a chance they would fire him it would be a nice consolation prize after all I'm I'm I'm there's rumbling with their spin street But there's been rumblings before and it just doesn't it doesn't they don't they're cheap or the rumblings in the room with you right now Because I feel like the rumblings streets. No, I mean I just arrived at the rumblings are driving down the street and people stop my car and say hey Right. I think they're from people that talk into a microphone for living He's saying they want him fired. He's saying the rumblings are coming out of my mouth Yeah, which they are but they're also not because he's not gonna get fired Mitzi that would be the smart thing if they lost this game It would be smart for the bears to move on from out of your flus and then get a jumpstart on whoever's gonna be next Which that will be a disaster in its own right?

I'm guessing it's not possible to hire a coach who's under contract for another team in the middle of the season Mike Raebel Mike Raebel he's out there. Listen, I'm gonna depend on contract. I love the bears higher Mike Raebel I don't think they'd hire Mike Raebel. I don't think they'll ever hire an alpha who Is bigger than the organization ever since dikka that's won't happen There's gonna find hire someone meek and Shafter has just been on an assault train.

He said that pen Johnson is if there's like if there's eight interview openings Ben Johnson will not talk to all eight who every talks do is someone he's expecting to take the job Essentially saying he's not gonna go to the bear. Okay, so I know why you would think that but I also saw no less than three different franchises Thinking that that was about them who else so I saw the Jaguars that probably is about them thinking that it was about them But it could be but that was kind of what she was saying Yeah, he was saying there could be eight openings and Ben Johnson could only take two interviews Yeah, and then I saw the Jets thinking that Adam she probably about them as well So he's sending a message to all the dysfunctional franchises Don't you don't get your hopes up this guy is has the pick of the litter and he's not gonna go somewhere where he thinks he can fail Counterpoint you got kill of Williams. Yeah, right like any other friend I guess you could say that same thing for for the Jaguars They have Trevor Lawrence who would probably be an interesting project for like a good offensive mind Aaron Rogers would be the same way But he's old they've taken the fight out of me. I don't know what to say.

Yeah, so there's there's no bad blood between you and Hank right now No, I have no fight left This is the game to recharge my fight Yeah, if they win this game convincingly my fight will be recharged for the Packers if they squeak out a win or lose this game I will continue to have no fight. I have a question for the producers apart of my take Yes from a production standpoint and a numbers standpoint. What is the optimal outcome for this game? Is it for for Hank's Patriots to just crush big cat streams?

Yes, or is it for thanks me? Or is it for big cat to beat the fuck out of Hank and yeah all the shit to him? No, I'm not even gonna talk shit because I do I don't I think this season is just uh Fucked up beyond believe who bar I want I need I need you to be excited for the pack Yeah, that's that's what the sickos are wanting to win by 14 I don't know if the sickos and perverts are rooting for a bear's resounding victory because knowing how my brain works and how reactionary I am I will get myself hyped to be like we're gonna beat the Packers You want me to tell you what I really want what I want to make a remake of the of the last year What remember that that clip that we made of you going back and forth on whether yeah, that's what's gonna happen No, that's gonna happen. I mean it is it's a week's week league for me.

Um although this year. It's not been a roller coaster It's been a like it's been like the first part of a roller coaster I just went up up up and then straight down it hasn't been back up No, we could get some clips from that Titans game. No because I was like I mean we won that game Yeah, but middle of the game, but I still was I still was staying positive. It was week one You need for the clip to actually work.

I need to go back up. I'm there was a bit down right now in the Jaguars game There's a little bit of up. No, I'm saying I'm saying the season has been like a little steady up up up up and now it's going down We for max to make the clip he needs me to go back up again. Yeah, because otherwise it's just gonna be me It's just one clip of me going up and then just straight down Correct.

Yeah, so you need you need a big win and me to be excited with the Packers then we lose the Packers and I'm back down But I'm not I'm not allowing my I'll say 14 actually 17 I'll say settle for 17 17 will be hopes up 17 will be hopes longest home winning streak in the NFL Nine games can't win on the road. Can't win on the road. Uh, okay next game Broncos and chiefs chiefs are plus 56 point differential, which is the lowest for an undefeated team through eight games interesting So there are 25 teams since 1979 that started the season eight. No, if you go off DVOA Uh, the chiefs would be 18th.

So they'd be kind of in the middle. Yeah on that one But I still think they're the best team that not named the Lions Yeah If they if they had to score 40 points a game to win some of these games They probably would be able to figure out a way somehow right if they have to have a third down they'll get a third down I'm very curious to see how bonyx bounces back Uh, and if the Broncos because we that was a step up in class last week. They got smoked I do think you're never as bad as you were the week before so maybe we get a good Broncos performance here I the only thing that is making me want to hank maybe go bonyx in the hungry dog that I don't know Okay, the only thing that was that was hard last week. The only thing that's making me think that is the chiefs I believe are eight point favorites right now How many people conservatively in America are going to tease the chiefs?

All of them. Yeah, everyone's looking at and being like, all right. She's a chief's find another leg good to go That's that's the only thing that's making me think maybe the Broncos have a chance This is a dumb logic thing and also not in any type of analysis that is worth anything Also the Broncos defense plays well against the chiefs they do last year they played really well both games Both games the defense was awesome against the chiefs. Yeah, you're right.

Could just do a hungry horse Okay, bro, it's cold. Yeah Okay, you said you like the Colts It's a good spot for them Something about something about something about I also I mean I have stats for the chiefs the from sorts of solutions Spags defense brings extra rushes a lot and the chiefs are 10 top 10 in success rate When bringing extra rushes the Broncos offense is bottom 10 So if they blitz bonex it could be a long day. Yeah, bonex man. There's something about them I feel like the defense can play good.

I having bonex be the first person to beat patching homes in season would be like a perfect Oh, it'd be so great. It'd be so great, but I I don't think it's gonna happen But we'll see uh, okay next up game. I'm very excited to talk about ready for the same game I'm very excited to talk about what game do you think I'm gonna say? Falcon Saints.

Yes, that's exactly what I was gonna say. It's a lie. It's not a lie I've done my research on Darren Rizzi and I think I'm gonna take the seats So I've done something. What did you pull up?

All right, so I got a few uh foster morot said that for those of you that know Darren Rizzi He's an unbelievable leader of men. Mm-hmm. Also Darren Rizzi changed the layout of the locker room Yep, so he got all the position groups together which it makes you wonder why the position groups weren't together to begin with They said maybe a covid thing was a covid thing. So during covid they spaced they mixed up all the position groups So that way you couldn't have like hypothetically Blake Bortles coming in to play for your team and then he gets the entire quarterback room.

Yes He might just be sitting next to like a backup tight end or something Right around hypothetically if Blake Bortles had happened to be on the Saints at any time during covid season, right Hypothetically, uh, he also said I can promise a lot. I can promise passion or I can't promise a lot I can promise passion and I can promise fight. Mm-hmm I think you can win a football game with passion fight. He went back in that press conference And he said again like you will see my team play with fight and passion Yeah, those are like his two key words that he zeroed in on I've got another thing about old Rizz the Rizzler All right, I got two more as well, but you go with yours.

Okay, so this is huge They've added some sports science to the regiment. Okay, and by that I mean they're doing an activation period before every practice and every game Oh, what is an activation period you might ask? It's warming up. It's stretching.

It's getting a swag on They were not stretching before games. Okay, so he has added in stretching which is huge That's gotta be worth very important. Very important. This ain't something injured or banged up or anything This is no not at all.

So I feel like this is a good thing that the a professional football team is now stretching before games Yeah, they're stretching. Yeah, okay. I like that. Uh, my other two, uh, the Rizzler, uh, Darren Rizzler stats Uh, he's a disciple of Dan Campbell.

He considers Dan Campbell a mentor. They had a long conversation He said it was a great conversation. He also talked to Bill Parcels and then my last one and this is kind of the the cherry on top for Will I won't I bet on a interim head coach? Uh, I need some type of weird, uh, not to formity But something's little off Darren Rizzie's ears are fucked up.

Yeah, they are. I don't know what the fuck is going on with his ears No offense to his ears. Um, I don't know if he can pull it up memes. Max just went I don't know where he went Uh, but they are like elf ears.

Yeah, like I tried to look up if he was a wrestler, but they're not cauliflower ears They're just low they're too low set. Yeah. No, he literally has low pad level on his ears He looks like a mr. Potato head with the ears put on backwards I don't know how much more we should talk about is here I don't know what they're like the reason why is he if he just has low ears Because he I don't think those ears can hear I don't think that those ears can with with hold a pair of sunglasses, right?

No, it looks like it looks like he was wearing Uh sunglasses made out of tungsten. Yeah, or that's what happened like a he just wore hats his entire life Yeah, and they just beat the ears down into submission He's got you know the sunglasses that that Oakley made for a little bit that wrap around the top of the head Yep, that's what he has to wear on the sideline. Yeah, he uh his ears are something else again No offense Darren Rizzi. We're betting on him and I like him but uh, yeah your ears, man I like I like that he's got bad ears.

Yeah, it makes it more interesting Yeah, he also tried to come to Dennis Allen's defense and fight Arthur Smith who art this miss a friend But I do like the fight out of it. Yeah, it's good. He also he trolled Tommy DeVito before their game last season remember that Yes, he wore like the rival high school t-shirt. Yeah, new jersey high school off.

Yes. We've got a proud Italian in Rizzi Yeah, so I Darren Rizzi that's for the Falcons. I mean listen if this were not an interim head coach game I would probably hammer the Falcons. I think they're gonna have Uh a field day with what the Saints do defensively and they don't do a lot and they don't do it well Uh the Falcons run 87 percent of their plays out of 11 personnel and the Saints are uh worse at defending 11 personnel Uh, sorry 26 in the NFL so really bad really bad at defending 11 personnel.

I don't know drake London not playing. I would assume I don't think that he is. Yeah, so maybe a lot of a not playing a lot of definitely not playing seeing a specialist Pretty scary. I think that's his fourth concussion in three years.

Uh, so yeah, that doesn't feel like a good situation It's a rivalry game like these two teams actually they do hate each other every time they play it seems like something happens Yeah And I I feel like this this this three week window for the Saints is Derek car's only opportunity to get away from seeing what Mean people are saying about him. He's specifically his former teammates Yeah, so this is a three-hour gap in his week where he won't have to worry about reading Michael Thomas saying anything about it But he probably knows while he's playing that it's happening Like every time if he throws a pick I think he thinks about Michael Thomas before he gets in the sidelines. Yeah, yeah, um, um, If Drake London is not playing which I believe he won't be I'm Pits it's a pits game calling right now cow pits vibes You love pits. I do love pits.

I love everyone on the Falcons. I've always been obsessed with Falcons first round picks This goes back for like 10 years. They just accumulate first round picks and I am a draft Guru at heart where if you're first round pick you're really really good for the rest of your life in my eyes Even after your boss. I'm like, I mean, I still think Kevin white could be explosive on the field Well every Falcons first round pick on offense just looks awesome.

Yeah, the Falcons uniform Yeah, like this guy's fast and strong. Yeah, so I yeah, I believe in the Falcons Kirk oh it's playing well Kirk oh opportunity to walk in the trap. He's playing well Uh, okay 49ers of bucks Henry is christian McCaffrey playing. Yeah, I think he is.

Oh, okay. Okay Bro per you this is per you not the per you from the man who brought you christian McCaffrey might retire He is now bringing you I never said that he might play never said that Um, it's look it looks like he's playing okay. I'm what I've seen okay. I feel like he's playing And I'm happy I didn't say that he was gonna retire because I would look really dumb.

Yeah, he would I feel like a lot of tight ends in this game. I didn't kittle problem with Otan is Fred Warner. Yeah, that's true Throw it out there. I like the 49ers in this game.

I put who else do the bucks have really? They don't have anyone else. So it's like they're gonna have to scheme open up. No, no, they don't just got him anymore He's on steel.

Yeah, yeah, bucky Uh, I think this is this I think this is a 49ers reset like the 49ers went on a buy They've had a tough start to the season, but they look up and no one in the division is right there Yeah, you know, I mean like they don't they're not sitting there It'd be one thing if they were four and four and there was a seven and one team in their division Uh, that's not the case I think they have everything in front of them and this is where they start playing good football And this is the classic college and hand position to be in if you look back at his career as a head coach before the buy What is it the record is 500 right now, right? Yeah, that's actually an improvement of what they usually are before the buy Yeah, because they're usually a 400 football team before the buy and then over the course of his career after the buy There's 700 football. This is where he starts cooking So this is legitimately the place that you can point to every year and be like after this little mini break They're just gonna run the table. Yeah, and I just I feel like the bucks They've had really good effort the last couple weeks although the Falcons game was closer than it Like the final score was closer than what uh the actual play was I just think this might be where it just it's like damn I wish we had my givens and chris cobwood out here because we don't we can't go blow for blow with the 49ers Especially if cmc is back and if you play as well as they play it against the chiefs and then you you lose and you don't go for it At the end I feel like that's a very deflated.

Oh, yeah I should specify with the college and hand thing It's true that all this teams improve like drastically after the buy like yum day football teams But the the first game after the buy he's not like that great I think he's four and three in that very first game. Okay, uh, but just look for this the season to start improving now Yeah, the four and I was gonna go on a little run. Uh, all right biggest game of the of the noon slate Steelers are commanders game will be sound uh, how many games do we have at noon? I think there are four buys this week I there might be four or less Germany other four bars.

Yeah, the Raiders, uh, the Seahawks a passenger's right one two three seven four seven perfect So we'll have all the games on and we'll do sound for Steelers commanders. Uh, I am very excited for this game because I think this is a Like not a measuring stick because I think both these teams are good I think it's gonna be like with which one is more for real and when I say which one's more for real I'm talking about the commander's offense or the Steelers defense. Yeah, I think um whichever team wins this game I think that team is gonna win their division. Yeah, I think they could maybe be thinking soupy So the reason why I say specifically the Steelers defense is because you could look at it and say the Steelers defense is faced The following quarterback's cur cousins first game back after kiddies bonyx rokey a very hurt juson herbert Anthony richardson the 17th best quarterback in deck press got gardener minchu Uh, erin rogers and daniel jones not exactly jane daniel's been playing better than all the guys i just listed Uh, and then on the other side the commander's offense has not faced a top 10 in devia way defense The best defense they faced was the bears, uh, who you know, they they scored one time at the end of the game The Steelers the eighth best defense devia way.

So is it the Steelers defense is a little Uh, bit worse than we think or is the commander's offense a little bit worse than we think that's where i'm excited to find this out Yeah, and the commander's best win the season you can make the argument has been their loss to the Ravens Yeah, that was like the thing that you can point out and be like this is how this is why we think that the commanders are A legitimately good football team and not just beating up on a relatively soft schedule because they've beaten a lot of bat teams for sure Uh, and to have Pittsburgh coming to Washington It's tough because Pittsburgh they they bring their towels There have been numerous games where it's been the Steelers at whatever Washington name is in place at that point Where they've had to go to a hard count at home. Yeah, and uh, uh, there's a little bit of towel judo going on this week So, um, the commanders are passing out burgundy towels And hoping that when the yellow towels are waving the burgundy ones are also waving It's just gonna be like a cool autumn tree. So it looks like the red skins commanders colors. Yeah, this is a burgundy and gold This is the foliage game.

Yeah, they're like we can't keep the towels out, but if we add our towels Then it'll look like your towels are actually our towels. Yeah, well unless there's more terrible towels Unless there's well if there's like way more yellow. Yeah, then then it's an issue We keep your eyes on on the towel storyline. Uh, the commanders sorry Mike Tomlin by the way is uh career 26 and 6 straight up in games against working quarterbacks And also this is obviously a mike tomlin road underdog spot where he's 41 28 and 1 against the spread Yeah So mike tomlin underdog on the road off a by off a by where the Steelers are 13 and 4 after the by under tomlin This I don't feel comfortable about this game And I'm very uncomfortable about tj watt because he does bad things to good quarterbacks The commanders are 11 for 11 on fourth down this year, which is leads league pretty crazy.

Yep And we got latin i don't know if laddin was gonna be playing this weekend. I figured that when we got him It was gonna be the devantae atom situation where he's like oh my hamstrings actually good It's the elevation that better. I want to kiss guys and my hamstrings guys are anymore But I don't know if he's going to be playing or if he's going to be playing like a meaningful amount I asked you that question like seriously the other day and you just laughed at my face Is that true? I did always a hamstring.

I'm sure that hamstring really feels good. That's a very accurate representation. Oh shit What are you gonna say about this game max? Uh, jerry versus pft in the gambling cave Yeah, jerry's nervous.

No, he's not. He's not at all. No. No.

He's nervous He was like do I give it to him the way that you get I give to you or will he give it back to me? I'm nervous. I'll give to jerry if jerry wants to give it to me. I'll give it right back Give me a lot of given in that cave on sunday at 12 o'clock a lot of given I think we will find out a lot about both teams in this.

That's what I'm saying It's it's seriously like if the commander's offense looks incredible Uh, I'm gonna be like holy shit. They're a lot better than I even expected I think they're very good and the sealers defense is maybe a little fraudulent and if it's the reverse If the sealers defense dominates, I'm like damn this sealers defense might be the best defense in the league Yeah, that's that's where they're like the I love this matchup and I can't wait to watch this game Yeah, jerry asked me earlier in the week before the trade deadline if I would call dk matcalf for him And see if he would like to be traded to the Steelers and I said jerry I can't I can't do that because we're playing this weekend. Yeah, he understood. He understands it fair jerry and I are not friends this week Yeah, it's fair.

He's it fair. Uh terrible towels. What about it? You guys are doing the terrible towels.

Yeah, the marooned house. Yeah, burgundy Yeah, we discussed the whole tell situation. Yeah. Yeah, I might have to get a towel.

You should I will Jerry would not like that. He's gonna have to bring his towel. Mm-hmm He's gonna get messy. He's gonna get real messy.

They're off. I'll bring stu's uh 15-15-30 towel. There you go Come right it will be chaos in the in the gambling cave though Because it'll be me and jerry yelling at each other sitting right next to each other and then it's gonna be a hank and big cat Each other are they should yes, again, I have no fight. I know fight.

I don't really wanna say I can't fake the fight I got some fight. Okay, I'll bring the fight. I'll bring the fight out. It's gonna be like the NCAA tournament It totally depends on how they play like if the bears come out and start playing well.

I will rebuild my fight my I'm basically like uh Like I'm uh like the ninja turtles game where my my my health is like my health is like this I need a couple pizzas. Yeah, and the pizzas are touchdowns And if I can get the pizzas my fight will come back and I'll be revived just run over a stim kit real quick Yeah, that's uh that's how I feel right now memes keeps talking about there's some terrible towel curse that if you try and mess with the joo Yeah, that's true. That is true. That is not good.

That is very very true That when you try to fuck with it for the Tennessee Titans who fucked with it a couple times I forget who else had disrespect for the terrible tags I don't think that this is disrespect for the terrible towel is it? I think that we should get we should figure it out either me and jerry both through Steelers Patriots and you two both through commanders bears or The opposite were me and pft both through commanders Patriots and you and jerry both through bears dealers What do you mean do that just just for so it's just even more chaos I'm down to do stealers patriots or stealers stealers bears We'll figure out either one of those but I think that would make it even more chaotic. I'm okay with commies bears Okay, so uh me too that I just found this back in 2016 the Redskins did the burgundy towels and they lost 38 to 16 Shit, so we're bringing back loser loser. She'lls.

I've got a good scapegoat if we lose though. Yeah towels and towels Uh vikings at jaguars are we getting Matt Jones? I think it's gonna be Mac. Yeah, that's going to be hilarious So Trevor Lawrence has a shoulder injury Mac Jones with now.

Hey that now you have another game Are you rooting for Mac? I got no bad blood towards Mac. I don't think he's gonna win this game, but is he is it official that it's not official Yeah, oh, is it's I think I think Trevor Lawrence is officially not playing I think that it I saw rap sheets say unlikely that Trevor Lawrence will play Is that um is that baked in the line already or is the line move? I saw four and a half earlier?

Oh, no, it's seven Well, I got lucky with my picks earlier. Yes, the return of the Mac. Okay, so Mac Jones He's gonna be in for it with the Brian floors blitz and they're playing with the white helmets The shell white helmets for the jags. Can I see them, please?

I'd like to see the show Max please pull up the shell white helmets for the jags. I'm gonna give a gut instinct whether I like it or not just straight up Let's see hit it. I like them No, but I'm gonna go. No.

Yeah, that's it. That's a guy. There's something about the teal in the white just kind of pop Yes, she'll like baby. Yeah, let's see him see Taking it back and walking it back.

I just saw it in real life and walking it back your gut though Yeah, but that was because the blur no, it was a icy icy blur you can't do the Photoshop blur I want to see it how it looks in person You also have to think about Mac Jones wearing it when your gut reaction to it was when you saw Trevor Lawrence We're like yeah, but Mac Jones might look icy. All right. Let's see this. Oh my Teal of the mouth is pretty cool.

The teal is yeah, I wish there was a little more teal They should not call that shall white call that teal tongue. Okay. I'll stick with it. I like it fine.

I like it Are they wearing white jerseys to or no? I'm not sure and again This is I'm people are gonna be like oh well you you hated the Packers white helmets This is this is the my exact point if you're the Jaguars your franchise that should be like Oregon You should just wear different uniforms every week. Yeah, you have no real history to fall back on here You just do it was like four years ago. They had the two tone of helmets Yeah, it's like half gold and half black the crazier the weirder things that you do the more I probably mean on it Yeah, there's old ones that used to look like Antonio Brown's mustache.

Yeah. Yeah, okay, so Matt So you gotta be on Mac watch now, too. Hey, hey, I'm at Jones. I could buy my two hungry horse parlay and hungry cat parlay hungry cat parlay X panthers hungry bird parlay are there two hungry birds the Cardinals and the Seahawks on by you said I did not see the Seahawks Cardinals their bird To the universe looks real quick.

They are voting on how they want to wear perfect It has to be black jerseys, but the team is voting for what they want for pants sock combo to be you can do that I guess this is jaguars. They can do anything. Yeah, each player voted for their favorite pants I don't all right. They have to wear black jerseys.

I think you got to go all black all black looks sick all black or you got to go All white bottoms the top left looks too much like a panthers. Yeah, that's the panthers bottom right I hate you bottom right and top left are bad So it's all black or all white on the lower half one of those two all black looks good Okay, that was that was our jersey talk for the week Vikings are good and also Doug Peterson kind of a diss It's an Yeah, they asked why is him drawn around this year and he just laughs he said Justin Jefferson but also not totally untrue Yeah, I think it's it's very reasonable thing to say but it was coaches usually don't say stuff like that before game Yeah, they're usually like well He's playing very well Trevor Lawrence is gonna be pissed off Trevor Lawrence It's unfortunate He's not playing because he is one of the best quarterbacks against the Blitz. Yeah, you wouldn't know that but he's really really good Yeah, and that's obviously what Brian floors is gonna do. Yeah, Mac Jones against the Blitz I don't know but I'm gonna guess it's probably not great probably not Probably not great, but is it better than normal Matt Jones that's really what we have to ask Yeah, I guess he better against the Blitz than he is not against the Blitz I just hope it back Jones plays we get one funny interception or fumble.

Oh you just for just for throwback seek, okay? Afternoon games Titans at Chargers boys. This is a must-win for our Chargers future. I think we all agree I got some tough games coming up We're gonna talk about it with Ron Rivera, which was an awesome interview So make sure you listen but the Titans have the second worst special teams all time only to the 2010 Chargers Mm-hmm, which was the team that went first in offense first in defense last in special teams and miss the playoffs at 9 and 7 I think a lot of that is also baked into that lines win.

Yeah, I remember that when it was just I mean The we blocked upon him against on week one. Yes true. They've had some bad and didn't the didn the Jets run a punt back on him memes Or at least like the 20 yard line in the Titans Jets game giant wasn't there a big special teams play? I want to say there was you block the pump team you might have blocked a punt they're bad.

No, we block the pump We bought yeah, they're bad special. We had 2010 Chargers special teams is like by far the worst Yeah, they were so so bad that season so to even be compared to them You know that they're bad Yeah, and they like it's the weirdest stat that you have a team first in offense first in defense missed the playoffs But if you look back at their games you can point to like six games like oh if our special teams wasn't the worst We would have won this game. Yeah, so the Titans are ranked first in total defense and they're ranked Yards allowed I think yeah, yeah in total defense and then also first and past defense Yeah, they're good defense. We that's why I can't quit and they're allowing 26 points a game even though they have the best defense short Short fields.

Yeah, yeah, I I'm nervous about this game for the Chargers because it does feel a little bit Like it's gonna be a bully ball fest back and forth Yeah, so if you're doing a visualization for this game It feels like maybe Chargers three nothing in the first quarter Yeah, and then they score touchdown in the second quarter another field goal So now you're looking at 13 to 0 and then they score another field goal at the start of the third quarter And then absolutely nothing happens after that. Yeah, they just run the ball punt like 60% of the time and Go on one drive that's like eight minutes long. Yep and get zero points and they end up winning 20 to 0 That feels right. I feel like it just said feels right maybe 20 to 7.

Yeah feels right. Okay Eagles Cowboys Dack hamstring torn off the boat. I feel like they just added that part so everyone can be like always actually hurt No, when they when they had that part to me. I think that sounds delicious Hamstring off the bones.

Yeah, Steve Young by the way, speaking of delicious. He said this week on his radio hit The Cowboys are so freakin cooked which is about as much as even whatever swear again. It sounds like something I want to eat Yeah, Max are you nervous about this game Cooper Rush? I The only nervousness comes from like yes, yes, I'm nervous.

Okay, but it's because it seems too easy It does I've been a down is back at practice I've been saying everywhere that sake one's gonna run for 200 yards because I mean the Cowboys can't stop the run and It's just gonna be bully ball by the by the Eagles. So there's still something about playing like at Jerry where it's Cooper Rush It out. There's no way we can lose the Cooper So you guys beat Cooper Rush last time you played him but Cooper Rush I think he won his first four games when he came in as a backup last time And if you're wondering like what peak Cowboys would be is there they're lower than you think that they can ever get right now Like everyone's given up on the season if Cooper Rush comes in and has the offense looking competent That is actually Pete Cowboys. Yeah when the backup quarterback that has like a third of the physical tools that Dak Prescott has comes in When football games as Dak is very sadly recovering from scrumptious sounding injury.

Yes, that is that is Pete Cowboys right there Yeah, fun Lane Johnson is a freak stat of the week. He's played eight games this year and he's given up two pressures Not too sexy. He's a pressure pressure. So good pressures.

That's acts pressures. I'm so good. You're one of those was a sack though Oh, okay, just just saying just that's hey, that's good ability. Yeah, you know, we could have skated by on that Yeah, that's me, you know hand up max.

So you think it's too easy, right? That's where it makes you scared correct Would it be as easy as like Villanova? Team in basketball there's no way we talk about college basketball on November 7th I'm asking in a scale of easiness when you're Villanova basketball home of many national titles and you see an Ivy League school Not even a Princeton or Yale who's been a tournament you see Columbia. I thought they were playing a South American team I thought that exhibition I know I know how to tie this all around During my thoughts last night His brain like it's a TV show You sat down and turn it on You're like, all right.

Here we go thoughts time. I was having thoughts and I will I will not say bad word about Nick's area I for the rest of the year. What that's bullshit I will not say bad word about Nick's area on it for the rest of the day That's as much bullshit as me saying I'm not gonna tell myself the bears You don't have to watch Kyle Neptune coach basketball Who I actually could you think I'll Neptune's a worst coach the next year on it without question Oh, well, why would you say that have they lost this year? They lose to everyone he has more college basketball started Who'd you guys play?

Was it preseason? We lost a Columbia Columbia in two years and two games Kyle Neptune has lost seven games to teams above 100 on the Ken Palm Jay Wright lost to two in his last nine years coaching there Seven to two for four times as many years. Did you pay them? Yes, you paid you paid Columbia?

Yes. Oh my game That's the epitome of the tidy we pay our entire roster their roster pays to go to school They'll know this they should be a fortune 500 company. Mm-hmm, and they're not but okay Kyle It's November for them who is like let's just look up like what you want Kyle hundred at Ford But Kyle Neptune's like first game ever for them who they play. I don't know Let's just I mean I'm trying to spin this positively Ford.

Um, what year did he started for them? It was the only coach ever one year what year was it it was so pull up this Fordham schedule from what year if he Started trying to do math get make it math done So it would be 2021 okay, so Paul Ford of 2021 schedule 21 22 see look he can turn this thing around No, but this is three years in a row. He lost Portland his first year Last year because he is first game because you can get better dude. You can get better It's first game at Fordham doesn't this is his first game at Fordham.

Let's see pull it up. You going the right way I think wait. Yeah, okay, uh Wait, oh, there's one. Oh, no, just stop right there.

There's one. I saw it I'm doing bad November right there November. Keep going keep going keep going. There it is November 9 2021 Fordham Pete Oh Columbia So, okay, this is the bit that's such a coincidence.

This is the bit that you're doing. I did not know that's that Way too long for Max if I did be Columbia's first game ever important shit He gave up 90 shots the Columbia at home. Shout out the point. Shout out the a WO tag me in that tweet last night He's like hey Max don't worry Kyle Neptune when he's first gave it for to be Columbia 90 points at home the Columbia, so you're not gonna say anything bad about Sirionni because no so much more He just he did fordham's roster It just makes me want like wonder like I like how can I be upset with Nick Sirionni for just continuing to win games perspective When I refer coach like Kyle Neptune that's a really good perspective.

Yeah, like I was incapable of winning It looks like an eight I shouldn't be talking about the one about if they look like an AA you team that just showed up and met each Other for the first time like it looks like they've never played basketball together And I don't want to hear the every team in college basketball has brand new players because of the transfer portal figure it out Max it's November dude. Yeah, we're talking about football. Why you brought this up? You brought this up and the six are singing the podcast.

Yeah, you want to talk about college basketball in early November Six are tanking. Oh Man, so the Eagles the Eagle's quang got drunk tested. Oh, he did. Yeah after the back Yeah, I don't know if they were testing him for PD's or testing for just stuff that'll fuck you up and make you think that it's a good I need to jump over somebody backwards.

Yeah, but either way. Yeah, you pissing a cup this week I like the Eagles too But again, I keep going back and thinking about maximum Cowboys and that would be to have Cooper Rush get in and look really good Yeah, I'd agree with that maximum Cowboys. Sounds like a movie. I don't want to watch that's one thing.

What did uh, we did skip call it supreme This is supreme debate. Yeah, Supreme Cowboys would be Cooper Rush getting in winning by 10 points Also Shatter guy skipping got hacked on Tuesday night. That was tough. That was rough.

That was really really tough The only criticism I have of the hacker is you should done the funny thing and started following people. Yeah, that would be good Yeah, I don't really fuck with them one of the funniest part. He changes avatar to LeBron James. Oh, he did that was great Yeah, that was good.

Okay, Jets at Cardinals memes Must win must win. I'm now. I'm now nervous that were favorites. Oh, someday We were plus one and now we're minus one that means I have some silver linings for you, okay Trump Donald Trump is now the president elect he's going to be inaugurated on January 20th Woody Johnson might become the ambassador UK again, and that means he can't fuck up your team anymore Yeah, then we have Christopher Johnson.

Well, he's probably good. Is he related to Woody brothers? We're about brick bricks probably gone. Oh, I was gonna go on a run I saw Joe Douglas said when they asked him about his job, he said whatever happens happens That's a good perspective to have on it.

So how do you feel about Malachi Corley? That was an asshole statement. What do you say he said he had over 200 plus touchdowns in his career? Just his playing football career.

I don't I shouldn't worry about crossing goal line. This is the first time out of 200 times Where he's dropped the ball? Is he blaming the goal line? What I don't know saying he just has to cross six inches He's just like that was out of character for me I use don't drop the ball before you get hands on just no accountability They don't talk about all the parades that JFK was in that in it safely, you know And I think that's a bit unfair to the Secret Service.

Yeah, I would agree all the all the challengers that didn't blow up Yeah, we ended up getting to the moon. Yeah, but yeah, Corley Corley is now he's your third your number three now that William's your number two Corley, yeah, he'll be behind Xavier Gibson. Okay, this is hard still hurt. Yeah, I Think the Jets will win this game.

I think the Cardinals are very good team I the Cardinals still are not outside of playing the Bears. They don't rush the passer great and Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers When he's a clean pocket it's when he gets chased around that he looks like old Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers still top five and everything right now which I'm having everything everything everything so burst Everything crystal ownership Crystal ownership. Yes, do you see that when I when they brought the vante over and he like went live on the MacV show and they were interviewing Vante and he had just a stack of crystals behind him because he was in Aaron Rodgers house the healing crystals vaccines Not top five. Okay, so not top five and everything touchdowns top five Yards top five completion percentage not sure top five that but I mean that was the third snap we gave you It's not a very common step.

That wasn't that wasn't a we didn't really push you that hard there. What about wins? Top 10 top 10 and wins a FC. Okay.

Just so we're clear. He is not top five and touchdowns He is seventh. He is not top five in yards. So nothing that was true.

He's not top five and completion percentage He is not top Guys, I think this is kind of a sad point and it took us this long to reach it I think memes might be a floor. Yeah, I think he might be a floor. Yeah. He's just not it's all fake news percentage what number he is But you know he's twenty ninth and you said he's top five?

No, no, no We've yet to find a step and he's top five rating. He's not top five qbr. He's not top five Maybe rushing yards big get Long as pass not top five yards per game not top five dammit. I must look at it before they up it What did you look at?

He's top seven. He's not top five in top 10. He's top 10. You looked at this after Thursday night football Yes, you did.

Yes, you did. Yeah, he was top two then. Oh my god. I mean he is literally not top five in a single stat.

Oh, this is embarrassing All right back to the game. We just have to stop the run Cardinals have a great are great at running football. We're bad at stopping the run Yeah, we just need to focus on stopping the run and I think the offense will be fine now that we have a top 10 passer Top 10 top easily top 10 easily top 10 easily top 10 in what stats is he top 10? I Is he top 10 those he is top 10 yards and he's top 10 in touch on top 10 in his interceptions It was just after the Thursday night football before the rest of the team played that's he's a top 10 in interceptions or lack of interceptions No interceptions.

He's top 10. He is nowhere. Oh, it's a Monday night football. He was nowhere close to top 10 in completion percentages 28 Yeah, 28 pretty bad.

Yeah. Wow. Okay. Uh a lot of room for improvement.

Just got to stop the run And we just got to pick up momentum from Thursday football and that second half which is beautiful bring that in Sunday for a clock This is tough game. The Cardinals are good. I'm not I'm not sleeping on the Cardinals anymore They're they've won three in a row now James Connors a beast which James Connors should be able to run the ball It will on you guys. It's just whether your offense can get going their pass rush is not good either So yeah, Rogers could have time.

Yeah, all right last game lines of Texans I don't want to do it again, but I kind of like I've just been against the lines every and I say I start every week with saying lines of the best team in the NFL And then I'm like, oh three and a half at home for the Texans. Nico Collins might be back Yeah, they're pass it's something weird I mean the Texans wide receivers have been injured and they have not there's not been a game where I've Said to myself damn this Texans offense isn't over there right now. Yeah, and the Lions offense is always They're never out of rhythm. They're weak.

They roll out of bed and rhythm. Yeah, so was it four four points? Three and a half right now three and a half points. I mean, it's a sucker bet I feel like everybody's gonna be betting on the Lions in this game Especially Sunday night Sunday night.

Sunday night. Houston is wearing its battle red uniforms. Oh battle Reds are out Which is which is cool. I think it's the first Sunday night game to reflect the red helmets I don't know what the Lions are they gonna be wearing their blues.

No, that'd be color rush, right? Mm-hmm, so they can't do that. Yeah, nonetheless. I still think that I'm gonna continue to bet on the Lions Yeah, I think I'm gonna join you because I don't want to I want to be an idiot anymore I feel like an idiot every single time but it if there was a time the Texans would maybe bounce back Would it be this I mean this is it's a good time for everyone else to bet on the Texans I'm gonna be betting on the Lions because I'm a sucker and I'm maybe the most public person Yeah, just finding these sucker lines going for him Text Texans defensive line and after Jared, but you're so good.

It doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't matter Yeah, I think he's on pace right now to have the highest completion percentage in NFL history. I think that's Aaron Rodgers. Oh, yeah, that's true Well, Jared is top five Which one of brutal top five is number one is top five in every yeah, that was I love the confidence with which you said it to everything It took about two seconds to pick the part Going from everything to nothing.

Yeah, it's just it's brutal. We couldn't even find one without a single one every Top 10 he's not every you are it means you are a florio. Yeah, just spreading fake news the other way either diemememes or you live long enough to become a florio Oh, I'm Italian. Yeah, you are Italian.

That's how it's okay beams. All right. Uh, can we win a TD parloy? Can we do it?

Who's up? I think we all fucked up last fucked up. I think we all lost Josh Allen. Oh, you had you a quan quan quan All right, so max stays in do you want to hop in for me?

Hank? Do you have something you love? No, he doesn't okay his brain froze bijon. Yeah, he's on Robinson.
