Hey, Pardon My Take listeners, you can find every episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Trust Noah and accuse everyone in Who's the Bad Guy, the official Barstool Sports social deduction game from the brilliant mind of Nick Terraney. In what's quickly becoming the most popular, a new party game around, players are secretly assigned unique roles with the good guys trying to expose the bad guys, and the bad guys doing everything they can to stay hidden.

Each game unfolds under alternating day and night phases, with roles like the cool chick, the shy guy, the gambler, el presidente, the mentalist, the planner, the funny guy, and more. Every round is unpredictable, chaotic, and ridiculously fun. Who's the Bad Guy is great for parties, pregames, family gatherings, or groups who just love deception-based games. Game night will never be the same.

Shop now on Walmart.com. On today's part of my take, we have Coach John Gruden on the show. Awesome, awesome interview with Coach Gruden. We're also going to do our Week 8 preview picks.

Every single game we're going to talk about. We're going to talk a little Thursday night football. We've got the big game, Bears-Commanders, even maybe a bigger game, Patriots-Jets. Yeah, the game that could tear this podcast apart.

Yeah, we are going to do Firefest of the Week. Stella Blue Coffee's new can lattes are here.

Use code TAKE. Today is Friday, October 25th, and the Los Angeles Rams could potentially be back, but we also hit on the trend finally. The Vikings playing off a game against the Lions. Go against any team that just played the Lions.

The Rams win 20, 30, sorry, 30 to 20, because we had the most face mask that's ever face masked to end the game. The most face mask that's ever face masked. Yeah, it was a ridiculous face mask. It was right in front of the ref, too.

And it was a very bizarre way to end the game. So much so that the guy that grabbed Sam Donald by the face mask immediately put his hands on his head. In the old fuck, I can't believe I just did that. What a dumb boneheaded play move.

That's the international sign language for bonehead. I'm a bonehead. He was just waiting for the call to happen. It just never happened.

It never happened. This is why there was a rule in the UFL that there was such a thing as a super challenge, which is a cool name. You know what a super challenge is? No, it sounds awesome.

It is. It's very awesome. You can challenge anything you want, and coaches get to do it once a game. So you can be like, go look at this, even if it's not technically, quote, a reviewable call.

And a ref can go over to a screen and look at it. Yeah, that's a fucking face mask. Easy call. The super challenge fixes that.

Super challenge would have fixed it. So yeah, I think the Rams probably would have won anyway, but it still sucked just because it was directly in the line of sight of the ref. He was maybe two feet away from a face mask that every single person knew. He literally got tackled by his face mask.

But now we have the Rams kind of looking frisky at three and four with Puka and Cooper Cup back. The Rams just become buyers. I mean, all week we heard that the Rams were maybe shopping Matthew Stafford and Cooper Cup. Now they win this game.

They've won two games in a row. They've got guys healthy. They look competent. I don't know.

Well, the crazy part leading into this game was there were floating rumors out there about Matt Stafford being traded for Sam Darnold. Yeah. Which would have been insane if that had happened. I was, as a fan of chaos, I was hoping that that would happen before the game because we'll never see that again.

Yeah. And honestly, I think that the Rams would win that trade. I think the Rams would, uh, no, I don't think the Rams would win that trade. It would be very funny though if, you almost got me.

You don't think like Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold's good. Matthew Stafford's really good. Matthew Stafford's also pretty old. That's true.

Sam Darnold's pretty young. But the Vikings are trying to win right now. It would have been very, I don't know, trading Matthew Stafford to a different team that he's going to win a Super Bowl. I don't know if that's going to happen.

Well, and also the Vikings have J.J. McCarthy. So you're like, hey, we'll have Matthew Stafford for two years. J.J.

McCarthy, back him up. It would have been very funny though to trade Matthew Stafford to another team. He wins a Super Bowl there. And then the Rams have a good quarterback that they can build with again.

Yes. Again. But yeah, the Rams, I don't know, man. Next week, they play at the Seahawks.

That will be a massive, massive game because as crazy as the Rams or as bad as the Rams start to the season looked, and they had so many injuries, they're 3-4 right now, and the Cardinals are 3-4, and the Niners are 3-4, and the Seahawks are at the top of the NFC West at 4-3. Like, I don't know. They're my pinky team. They're at the Seahawks, Dolphins at home, and then at the Patriots.

That could be 2-1, that could be 3-0. Like, that's, I don't know, they just look different. When you have those two guys out there, Pucco was everywhere tonight. I feel like Cooper Cupp didn't even really get going.

Of course, he made, we were sitting there watching the game, and they were trying to, you know, salt the game away, and it was run, run. And then I said out loud in the game, like, I'm like, this is going to be a perfect pass. It's ridiculous to Cooper Cupp somewhere on the field, and that's exactly what happened. And right after that pass, I don't know if you saw this, but Matthew Stafford gave him a point, and it looked to me like Matthew Stafford was saying, that was awesome, I got you, buddy.

Almost like that's our last one that we're going to have to. Oh. That's what it looked like. That's what you're reading the body language.

It was like, me and you, we did it again. But why would they sell? What a ride. If they're, I mean, I guess you got to see what happens next week at the Seahawks game, but why would they still in it?

Yeah, now they're in it. They're tied for second right now in the NFC West. They're definitely in it. Like, they are right in the thick of it.

And yeah, with those three games coming up, they could be six and four. Yeah, and as for the Vikings, the Vikings. And also, maybe it's good that they got injured early. Yeah.

They get healthy, like the Ravens used to do. Three agents signed up, and then you get all your guys back. I mean, Stafford is still incredible. I mean, he missed that one throw to Tutu Atwell, but then he just followed up with a dime to Marcus Robinson.

He had four touchdowns tonight. He's just, he's still got it. As good as the Vikings receivers are, I think that the Rams, their receivers are that good in terms of how fun their names are to say. Yeah.

Puka Nakua, Cooper Cup, Tutu Atwell. Even to Marcus Robinson, because Marcus Robinson would be a very, like, eh, that's normal. But he threw on a D in front. Yep.

As for the Vikings, 5-0 to 5-2. Not a panic, but, especially because they have the Colts and Jaguars coming up. Feels like those are get-right games. And the Titans.

Oh, wow. They put the Colts and Jaguars and Titans. They play the best parts of the AFC South to play. That's pretty crazy.

So, it's not a panic. It's just, you played the Lions last week, and then you're slotted to lose after that. The only panic is that their tackles hurt. Yeah.

So, Dersaw went out. I think it was a knee injury. It didn't look good. No, it did not.

And it also was in those situations where you don't want to second guess, but you're on your own five-yard line with 30 seconds left in the half. Yeah. Maybe just kneel it out. I know that you can never be, like, hindsight 20-20 there, obviously, but...

I think we should completely flip to being hindsight guys. Yeah. That was egregious by Kevin O'Connor. Him and Todd Bowles should be banished to the fifth circle of hell.

Yeah. We're just always right. Yeah. Like, everybody knew we should be out.

Maybe they should take it that knee. Me, I never would have done that. No. Also, Justin Jefferson just continues to be the most ridiculous receiver ever, because that catching me along the sidelines was...

I don't... I still... You said exactly what we all were thinking. It was like, I wish the Rams a challenge just so we could watch it more.

Yeah, yeah. Sean McVay, come on. Do us all a favor. We would have been able to see that replay probably four more times on TV.

Yeah. In real time. Also, credit to the Vikings for getting their asses up to the line. Yeah.

I feel like McVay would have challenged it. Yeah. But that was the fastest I've ever seen a team get up to the line and snap the next ball. Yeah.

But that was a ridiculous catch. Jefferson had a million catches, no matter if you had one guy on him or if you were double teaming and they kind of need that. And we did find out the answer. The Vikings, I guess we found it out last week, too.

No, yeah, we found it out last week, too. But, like, I got to play from ahead. Yeah. You got to play from ahead.

All right. Anything else before we get into our week eight picks and preview? I got one thing. Hank, are you going to go undefeated as the Celtics?

You're thinking that. 74-8. 74-8 is what you're calling it. Anything from Banner Night?

Are the Celtics good or did they just play the Wizards? I mean, two games two blows. I started having to play in the fourth quarter, basically. Anything from Banner Night?

Because obviously we take early on Tuesday. Banner Night was a dream. Was it so you were asleep? No, it was a lot of fun.

Tears were shed. Very emotional. You cried? I shed a tear.

I love that. All the other players, you know, I think Tatum and Ben. All the other guys on the team? Well, they were crying.

It's like you see other people crying. You're like, damn. That's awesome. Yeah.

You're like, damn, I got to go back to work tomorrow. Yeah. So that's it? Did you get to see Coach?

No, I was across. We didn't really cross past. Did you lock guys? No, he didn't.

Shit. Not even eyes? Not even eyes. Did Dave get a good pop when he was on the Jumbotron?

Dave did get a good pop. There's some fake things out there. I heard different on TikTok. Yeah, they definitely did.

They showed Kai Sanat, who's like a biggest Twitch streamer, and it was like kind of a, and I guess he's a Knicks fan, but it was like real life versus internet life. Like no one even reacted, and they showed Dave right after, and everyone started shooting. I'm going to say that I don't believe that woman who made one TikTok was like, we go to Dave Portnoy in Boston. It's Boston.

Yeah. I don't think that's, that happened. There's any pizza review. All right.

So what was your one other thing? There's a new study that came out. I don't know if you saw this on The Athletic. Okay.

Nutrition Study in the NFL. Okay. They did a survey to find out which teams ate the most Uncrustables. Oh, yeah.

Because every team, apparently the NFL goes through at least 80,000 Uncrustables per year. That's incredible. Which, I mean, Uncrustables, it is the perfect snack. We might be up there.

Yeah. Our office goes through, we go through, like, how many are in a box? I get eight. No, we get the big ones.

I don't know how many are in that one, but I still think it's eight. They'll be opened, and then like on Fresh Uncrustables Day, and they're gone in an hour. Yeah. So what was the record?

I probably, I think two a day for lunch. It's just the perfect snack. Yeah, yeah. So what was the record?

All right, so teams eat 80,000 in total per year, and then they broke it down weekly by the teams that eat the most and the teams that eat the least. Team that eats the least amount of Uncrustables, New Orleans Saints. Oh, wow. That checks out.

Yep. Team that eats the most, and by the way, the Saints eat 50 Uncrustables a week, so that's like, that's not even one per person. Yeah, that's lightweight. That's the ramifications being Capel.

Okay. And then the team that eats the most, the Denver Broncos. Okay. They eat 700 Uncrustables a week.

And how many weeks? Is it the whole season? 700 per week. For the whole, for the season or the year?

I don't know where they eat. I think we're the season. Okay, you know what I'm saying. Not 52 weeks, but...

Yeah, because I think the facility's probably shut down. But 700 a week is a lot, and maybe that's why they're playing so well. I'm asking that because I kind of want to see if we can break the record. I think that we go through...

The only thing that's stopping us is that we just run out of them. Like, if I was like, we will never run out of Uncrustables, how many Uncrustables do you think this office would eat a week? I personally would put away, I'd say 20 a week. Okay.

I mean, there's like, what, 70 people here? I think we could easily put away like 400, 500 a week. So that would put us in second place in the NFL. I'll send out an email.

I'd be like, we're doing a study. Eat as many Uncrustables as you want. We will not run out, and we'll just see where we land. I predict we're going to be in the, like, 1,000 range.

No joke. I actually do. I don't look for them, and the only reason I don't eat them is because they're not there. Like, we'll run out all the time.

Yeah, but when they're there, and I'm in the kitchen, I'm about to order lunch, and I see them, I'm like, fuck, I'm just going to have two Uncrustables. All right, so yeah, that will be my promise in this office next week, starting Monday. We're going to do just Uncrustable Week, where it's like, eat as many as you want. Don't feel bad.

Don't force yourself to eat them. Don't take any home. Although, they probably take some home. You think so?

They probably take some in the car ride. You think Bo Nix is, like, putting them in his backpack? Yeah, for sure. They do love white corners.

That's what the bread is. Do you think? Well, no corners. It's white.

Yeah, yeah. White edges. Yeah, yeah. Do you think that maybe that's what Sean Payton fell in love with, when Bo Nix opened up his backpack?

That's what's full of Uncrustables? You ever seen Pulp Fiction with briefcase? Yeah. That's Bo Nix's backpack.

Yeah. It was just filled with Uncrustables. He probably takes them home. But we need to make it clear.

Like, this is not... Don't try to gorge yourself. Yeah, yeah. Eat.

Just if you are hungry, and you're like, what am I going to eat? And there's an Uncrustable there, eat the Uncrustable. But don't be like, I have to try to break a record. And I actually think you could lose weight eating Uncrustables.

I agree. I agree. Peanut butter's got tons of protein in it. Bread is the biggest part of the food pyramid, which is really, really healthy and scientific.

Do you know what we need to get? Because here's the other thing that's holding us down. Vegetables, probably. I think part of it is that our refrigerators in the kitchen, not big enough.

They're not big enough, and they're also like, you have to look underneath. We need to get an Uncrustable refrigerator that's just sitting on top of the counter that's just stacked with Uncrustables. Yeah. Or just get rid of Hank's pinball machine and just make that the Uncrustable.

Oh, yeah. That's a good call. I'm looking at my pinball machine. I was hoping that the weather was going to be a little bit colder next week.

We could just leave them outside. Yeah. But no, what we'll do is we'll just take them out of the box, and we'll just be like, this is the Uncrustable fridge. And it just has only Uncrustables in it.

And just eat as many as you want. We're going for records. They had a great quote from the inventor of the Uncrustable. His name's Len Kretschman.

Okay. He said, we're not recreating the atomic bomb here. We're trying to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Love it.

Fucking nailed it. Love it. Like, that guy knows his product. He did it.

He did it. All right. Let's get to our Week 8 Picks and Preview, and then we have an incredible interview with John Gruden. Okay.

Everyone. Why do you not have a buy in Week 8 this year? I don't know. It kind of pisses me off.

Not that I'm upset about more. But the amount of games I'm mad because They did the two Monday night games Last week Yeah This would be the perfect week To do two Monday night games Agreed You now have given us I think it's What's the split this week Is it 8 and 5 I'm not sure what the split is I think it's 8 and 5 We don't have international games either Right So I think it's 8 early 5 late Which it's going to be a chaotic day You're going to have to You're going to have to lock in You're going to have to make sure You get some sleep on Saturday night 8 and 5 is a lot But we've got some great games And we're going to get through Our week 8 picks and preview Let's start with The Philadelphia Eagles Going to the Cincinnati Bengals We mentioned this on Monday's show But it's a very weird Scheduling quirk That both these teams played The Browns and the Giants As their last two opponents And the Eagles Are now going to Cincinnati The Bengals I believe Are still in must win territory They have to win everything They're in must win season They're in must win season Fun weird stat by the Eagles The Eagles have not scored A single point in the first quarter This season I got a fun fact Maybe the fun fact of the week For this game Two out of the last four times These two teams have played each other They're tied That's one of them Where he didn't know That the game could end in a tie This is big tie energy I would agree with that What are the odds if you bet a tie? Usually pretty high That's crazy We also have Joe Burrow We talked about Lamar Jackson Versus the NFC Joe Burrow Sneaky put together Nice resume against the NFC So his last 11 games Against the NFC He's 10-1 straight up Pretty nice He's 10-1 straight up In his last 11 games Versus the NFC I have a question for you Max First let's vibe check Must win Three-way money line is a draw As a tie right 61 61 61 Plus 6,000 Oh Wait Yeah Yeah Plus 6,000 Yeah 61 I was way off That's the best value on the board I think halftime tie is usually 10-1 Oh yeah And overtime is a different one too Yeah that's what I was thinking about Max you know vibe check You know we beat the Giants So I'm a little bit I'm a little bit more excited Than I was the week before But it's still the Giants If we win this one No I'm all the way back Okay If we win this one I'm thinking soupy And you got Oh we're back in soupy I love that Why did we lose this I just laughed at you I know he doesn't think that The Eagles are a good team Why are you laughing at me Yeah he doesn't think that He's just trying to He's trying to post himself up That was fake That was fake as fuck Yeah Yeah no that was fake You're not thinking soupy No I still have my doubts with this team Last week they looked really good If they looked really good Again this week I could see myself Getting excited But right now I'm still not Like excited for this team Which is kind of like They're 4-2 Coming off a big win They beat the Packers Who everyone says Is a Super Bowl contender I should be more optimistic But I'm not And I kind of feel like That's the way that Most of Philadelphia feels About this team And if they lose to the Bengals It's right back to Fire Sirianni If they beat the Bengals I think most fans will be like Alright maybe the Sirianni guys Figured it out Yeah maybe this is actually Going to work out this week Yeah I mean that's just Kind of how It's a week to week Your game to game status In terms of confidence You know how long it's been now Since the Cardinals Have won back to back games Forever It's now 3 years Yeah it's been 3 years So as long as we think That it is for the Eagles It was November And that feels like an eternity Yeah no it's not good But it could be good But it could be good It could be good It could be bad But it could be good It could be really bad Yeah that's high level analysis I have a question for you Max I saw an insane stat on X From Brendan Deeg He said Lane Johnson's The only offensive tackle In the league With a minimum of 100 Pass blocking snaps To allow less than 5 Pressures this season So of all the offensive tackles Who've had 100 Pass blocking snaps He's the only one To allow less than 5 Pressures this season He's only allowed One single pressure And it got me thinking Is Lane Johnson On the Mount Rushmore of Eagles For sure Because he won the Super Bowl So who's on the Mount Rushmore of Eagles Westbrook No we had this discussion yesterday Reggie White Reggie White for sure Kelsey Brian Dawkins Yeah T.O Not T.O McNabb Freddie Mitchell McNabb maybe But Lane Johnson deserves more credit For being maybe the best Right tackle of all time He's the best right tackle In football right now What Kelsey Kelsey Kelsey maybe If I had to pick I would say Reggie White Brian Dawkins Lane Johnson Jason Kelsey Okay If I were able to pick my guys Would that be the only franchise That wouldn't have a single quarterback On there Yeah I mean I'd probably put Nick Foles Ahead of Donovan McNabb Oh yeah That little meat baby You don't think Sid Luckman No Okay I mean it would be Like Buckus Yeah Patrick Payton Urlacher Dicka Dicka I mean Gale Sayers There's no There's no quarterbacks We've got some decent quarterbacks But I just like Those other guys are just legends Yeah Yeah I just think about it That stat is insane That there's been no offensive tackle In the league That has allowed less than 5 pressures And he's only allowed 1 He has just been so consistently Incredible at his job For such a long time now That I think it's because He plays right tackle Not left tackle That people don't give him credit But he is I mean he's a Hall of Famer And he is just It's crazy like The job of an offensive lineman If you're a peak great offensive lineman The job is that you just never talk about them But we should talk more about Lane Johnson Because he's so great And he's so instrumental In determining whether or not you guys win Yeah That's the thing about it His win-loss record is incredible Yeah I mean Jason Kelsey is great Jason Kelsey would probably tell you That Lane Johnson was more important Than Jason Kelsey And he has said that before Yeah right So that tells you everything He's incredible Who are you more nervous about Jamar Chase Tee Higgins or Yoshi I think Jamar Chase I like Yoshi Yoshi's a beast If Yoshi's name wasn't Yoshi Would we be happy Probably not I'll be honest He was born in Japan That's kind of cool The thing is We probably wouldn't be having this conversation But we should be having this conversation If his name wasn't Yoshi Yeah Here's the thing he's playing really well And you will know He's had a couple games He has Yoshi games Where he just has two touchdowns You're like god damn it I can deal with Jamar Chase beating me But Yoshi beating me Yeah no The Eagles are going to score a lot of points In this game I think And probably called them to less points Yeah but I think They're also going to score a lot of points So if we are able to figure out a way That we can score more points than them Then I think that we're in a pretty good spot So just limiting how many points they do score And maximizing it as much as we can Yeah how do you plan on doing that Want to get more Yep AJ Brown I guess just When in doubt Just throw a deep ball to AJ Brown And just pound the rock with Saquon Okay last question for you How much does Joel Embiid being investigated Affect the Eagles That means nothing What do you mean Investigation The Sixers are being You said this to me The Sixers are being investigated Joel Embiid's being investigated The Sixers Is he on the Sixers The Sixers management is being investigated Okay About Joel Embiid About Joel Embiid He's going to have to be deposed Because they are Trying to stop load management In the NBA And the Sixers are just saying Fuck it we'll pay the fine We're still going to do load management I love that the first game of the season For you guys It's like investigation Joel Embiid is missing a game There must be something weird going on The NBA is obsessed with the Sixers Last question Where is your heart Where is my heart Where is the Sixers heart Where is the Sixers heart Is it in New Jersey Is it Philadelphia Is there heart in the game Like they just want to pay the fine How about you just have some heart And play the games We're trying to be healthy For the postseason What about the kids though What about the kids That spent their hard earned allowance money To go see their favorite player Joel Embiid play I'm opening up They want to represent his country He want to represent his country Of the US of A I just think it's interesting And kids in America That's fine It's two weeks It's a long offseason They had a long offseason It was the first round US of A baby I'd like to say something That's going to probably end up On the bonk list But I just want to say it Because it's ended up in my algorithm Which X Hot tip to X X.com It's fucking crazy I'm curious how we're We're going to a bonk from here Well I got a load management And then there's this woman Yeah yeah So it's not me That's just funny Everyone's got in their algorithm There's this woman Who everyone's trying to shame online Because she basically did a

Joel Embiid Take notes bro When you say going viral For having 20 guys fuck me That's I instantly just think STD Yeah I don't know if I thought STD I was just like Whoa that's a lot The viral part The viral part Okay so that was Bengals-Eagles Let's see Ravens-Browns We have 16 games to get through Or 15 games to get through Deshaun Watson's not playing Deshaun Watson's not playing Jameis is in I'm so excited This is a PSA to everyone out there You do not know how many Jameis starts we'll get For the rest of our lives So you embrace the ones that we do have I am Listen The vibes couldn't be better I have no idea I'm just speaking on knowing Jameis And not knowing Deshaun Watson thankfully But that locker room has to be so pumped I feel like they have a chance Because Jameis is going to take a chance Yeah and also just You mentioned the vibes Like Deshaun Watson All time bad vibes this year All time You never smile They never had any fun on the field With Jameis you're going to be having fun It's going to be crazy You don't know what to expect I don't know what it's like to root for a team Where Jameis is the quarterback of that team But I think that he is the best player In the NFL to be playing For a different team that you don't root for Because he makes any game That much more exciting And I had a thought about Jimmy Haslam earlier He is like probably the worst owner In the NFL right Like him and Tepper Fighting for the crown Is there any chance that the NFL Steps in and makes Jimmy Haslam He should sell that team He should sell the franchise And I'm not saying that because Of like Deshaun Watson And all his legal investigations And all that That sucked But we know that the NFL Will turn a blind eye To pretty much anything that player does And it won't like punish an owner For employing a shitty human being Right that's pretty common in the NFL The one thing that owners do not like Is when you fuck with your money Right and Jimmy Haslam Giving Deshaun that guaranteed contract Pissed everybody off in the NFL Like Dan Snyder was a world class scumbag They didn't do shit about it Until they thought he was holding money from them And then they're like Oh now all of a sudden We care about all this other stuff off the field I think that there's a chance I'm not saying it's a high chance But there is a chance That the other owners turn on Haslam Because of what he did with the contract And set that precedent And I hope for Cleveland fans That they get to experience that He should sell the team He's just a fan of the sport Yeah He's fucked everything up in that town So I'm rooting for the owners To like turn on him And to kick him out And to get somebody else in there That will actually take care of him It's tough though Think about how hard it was To get Dan Snyder out Yeah but when you fuck with their money That's when they start caring I know but they just Rich guys just like other rich guys And if he has friends That are other rich guys I don't know I agree with you but I just It's harder than You know what we could do Have you guys seen this The new Remember it used to be The Bucs won the NFC North slash Central More recently than the Lions Until the Lions That was always the meme Start naming that Start naming that all the time Put some pressure on this Haslam guy Get him out of there Yeah we gotta put some pressure For the good of the league And we've got Ken Dorsey Taking over play calling this week Ken Dorsey I guess he just vibes better with Jameis Yeah I think Browns Will be live in this game I mean the Ravens are a wagon The Ravens have looked really Unstoppable Their offense at least Their defense is still not the best And Marlon Huffey I think is out For at least a couple weeks But yeah I think the Browns Are going to get like It's almost like a one Interim head coach bump They're going to get a quarterback bump here By the way I have a couple stats for you First one is Derek Henry ranks this season He's first in rushing First in rushing yards First in rush TDs First in yards per rush First in rush first downs First in longest rush First in scrimmage yards First in scrimmage TDs Still very very good That's pretty crazy Yeah he's first in everything Also Mark Andrews Scoring two touchdowns on Monday night Became the all time leader In reception touchdowns for the Ravens Which I was like damn That's kind of sad That a tight end With 43 touchdown receptions Is the all time receiver In like franchise history And then kind of similar To the quarterback conversation We just had with the Bears I was like let me look this up And it was very sad It's very bad And the Giants The Giants My tumor So who did he pass Yeah he would be the next guy If you look at what the Ravens Have done with their wide receivers For the last like 15 years They've just been committed To not ever having a good wide receiver Yeah Trey Flowers he is very good He is very good Zay Flowers And then the last that I had This is a reminder Who's going to be in charge of reminders I have the reminder in the Oh no I will What was that I have the reminder in today For the hammering the Rams Oh okay Are we hammering the Rams So you're the reminder guy Are you the reminder guy I will be Okay so it sounds like You're the reminder guy Lamar Jackson In eight career games On Monday night football Is 22 touchdowns Zero interceptions 1,700 passing yards 681 rushing yards 22 touchdowns Zero interceptions They play Monday night football November 25th at the Chargers Reminder The hard bubble Stick all the overs For Lamar Everything That's a pretty insane stat Yeah 22 touchdowns Zero interceptions On Monday night football Yeah I'm just excited about Jameis I'm so pumped So pumped for Jameis Since 2013 This will be the 64th game Played by a backup quarterback For the Browns The most of the NFL That's been by over 15 games That's crazy It's insane Those poor fans I feel like Browns fans Are going to be excited again Yeah For at least a game You're going to get drunk And be happy before the game As opposed to just getting drunk MCing it And a guy sitting next to me Just was like Hey Big Cat Have you heard anything About Miles Garrett to the Packers And my heart dropped for a second That'd be tough It'd be also very mean To trade him as close to Halloween Because he's probably Got his lawn set up with everything And he's going all out He's going to have to Take those decorations out Is it the trade deadline I think it's next week though I think it might be on Halloween Or it might be the day before I thought it was I thought it was on Election Day Oh is it? Yeah I think trade deadline NFL trade deadline Okay you're right November 5th 4pm Eastern Okay so yeah Trade him after Halloween Oh in the past It was October 31st Last thing about the Ravens As good as they've been And they've been incredible Keaton Mitchell just started Returning to practice Remember him?

Yeah So that adds another weapon For that offense That has just been Rolling over people Yeah Marlon Humphrey He had Didn't he have two picks? He had two picks I thought that Marlon Humphrey Like in every offseason I assumed that he's retired Just because of his Twitter account He tweets like Excuse me X.com He X is like a retired guy He's like promoting Ethereum And like all this weird shit He's out of pocket on Twitter And I absolutely love the guy But he's the guy that sucks me out And I'm like Wait did he retire or not? Yeah What do you got Hank? You got something?

Oh What do you have Max? Did you lean in? Okay I read that wrong Alright Titans at Lions I'm gonna fucking do it again I'm gonna bet the Titans You're addicted I didn't last week I didn't last week So did you think That they got better By getting rid of Hopkins? No I saw that Well no I think it's just neutral I think DeAndre Hopkins Is gonna be good for the Chiefs But he was just neutral It is that's like The classic Titans move too Isn't it?

Like they love old wide receivers They love old wide receivers That were very very good For other teams So if you look at their history They've signed at the end Of their careers Andre Johnson Randy Moss Julio Jones Calvin Ridley DeAndre Hopkins Decker They never Never learned their lesson You know what Let me be the first to report Amari Cooper will play for the Titans At some point At the end of his career Yeah but that's like 10 years from now He's still sneaky Kind of young Yeah I don't Alright so Here's the case And I don't know if I'm asking you to do it But here's just at least the case The Lions For the first time in franchise history Are now the odds-on favorites To win the NFC The Lions are also This is the first time That they are a double-digit favorite Under Dan Campbell They just came off A very emotional two weeks Where they killed the Cowboys Beat the Vikings In a back-and-forth shootout They're now number one In the NFC North They can beat the Titans With their hand behind the back I'm not saying that the Lions Are going to lose this game I'm just saying 11 and a half Is a lot of points Because they pay those guys too Titans run defense is pretty good And that's kind of where And then I just fall off a cliff Because if you ask me Name one other nice thing About the Titans I'm like can't Adam Schefter is very close To the general manager Because he's starting to Just gas up their transactions So he's giving credit to them For I guess they've traded A linebacker and some draft picks And ended up with more draft picks And a better linebacker So he's like look between the Read between the lines This is how you build a team right now So I guess they might have Started tanking This might be if you're a Titans fan Oh they definitely have I think Brian Callahan said Our roster's going to be picked over Yeah so they're going to build For the future I do agree with you That it is a lot of points It's just a letdown spot Of letdown spots And again I think the Lions Will win the game I just don't know Like if they start a little slow Who knows 11 and a half points This is stupid I'm going to do it And I'm going to hate myself Because the Lions Are going to be up 14-0 And then we'll just be like Okay now that's over It feels like Tim Patrick season right Yeah Tim Patrick, Alan Robinson So Jameson Williams suspended But also was at practice Yeah they're letting the rope down For him is what Dan Campbell said He's going to pull back up Yeah he lost grip of the rope He worked his way back up But we're going to wait here And that rope's going to be waiting for him Yeah so I don't know If he's playing or not Because I think then There was an idea That he was appealing I don't think that he was appealing I think he's going to When he was at practice I think he's going to start His suspension this week I think Although you made a good point That if he really wants to return fast Two games would be the ones Thursday night Brian, is there anything About an appeal, Max? Okay so they're prepared To not have him It feels like the suspension Was announced And then it was by ESPN But then the NFL Didn't announce it And it was just The whole thing was kind of weird I think he's going to He's going to sit up this week Alright I'm assuming he's going to be out Alright next up Cardinals-Dolphins Tua is back We think Tyreek Hill said that He wanted to cry He said he looked great Felt like old times Me and him connected On a few deep shots today And that kind of Got me feeling good today I missed that I missed him I told him I got to take him And his wife to dinner Because I missed him so much Shit was so beautiful That shit almost made me cry today Like just having him in the lineup Having him call the plays Having him direct the offense Like just hearing his voice Again we'll say it Seemed like a really nice guy But that's the Tim Boyle effect Tim Boyle's making a grown man cry Yeah it feels like it's Back to having like A semblance of an actual offense right now Yeah Which I'm happy for Dolphins fans That you get to watch Maybe a more entertaining game It's going to be a weird scene too Out there though Every time he gets sacked I'm going to be like Every time he tucks and runs the ball I'm going to be like Be careful to him Be careful to him It's because we've seen All of his concussions Have come in like Stain alone games Yeah so he should be good Knock on wood for this game Yeah because all eyes Aren't on him right now No no I like the Dolphins in this game I think short week for the Cardinals Cross country You mentioned it Cardinals haven't won back to back games So they haven't won Two weeks in a row in three years They did win technically Back to back games In like November of that season But there was a bye week in between So like two weeks in a row It's been November 24th 2021 That's great So Dolphins would be If we're going on history here That would be a smart pick Also did you notice on Monday Night Football They had Kyler run the tush push Twice in a row Is he the worst quarterback To do a tush push with Because their play caller Was defending that He's like we like that player We're going to keep running it It didn't work either time Yeah he probably is Unless you Yeah Bryce Young I think there's a chance If he did the tush push The refs would come and do the pile And he'd just be dust underneath He just crumples into his shoes Like when an anvil drops On a cartoon character He's in the ground And then he starts standing up And makes the accordion sound Yeah they could have Marvin Harrison Jr. Just pick up Kyler And throw him over the line That would be a better play to run Yeah I like the Dolphins This game though My friends at Sports Info Solutions They have the Dolphins As the second best In terms of pass blocking The Cardinals are 25th In terms of D-line And they've got injuries So I think the Dolphins Are going to be back I think this is the week Against the Broncos Yes Last year Yes Okay so the Dolphins Now have 70 points Through their first six games Six games 70 points Last year they did that In one game Tim Boyle Tim Boyle effect Tim Boyle effect Okay next game Wait I lost my notes I got it Chance of Patriots Memes I'll start with you Which story do you want to start With Aaron Rodgers Getting another injury Added to him In his body Or Aaron Rodgers Eating his own boogers We'll go injury Okay so Aaron Rodgers Has a hamstring injury That has been added To his ankle and knee injuries I'm going to say He might be getting old You think his injury problem I think he might be getting old PFT Injuries happen He's that old Okay he's pretty old He literally added a hamstring injury To his ankle and knee injury Yeah he might be old But Would you have the same leg Have all those injuries Or have them like sprinkled around Like right hamstring Left ankle right knee I think you need him sprinkled Also he is that old He's going to be 41 in a month Quarterbacks don't Tom Brady fucked everyone's brain up Yeah I thought you'll say that He's right He said that about He said it about Tom Brady going to the Bucs And Matthew Stavik going to the Rams And being like instant Super Bowl He fucked up teams being like We're a quarterback away We get the old quarterback But just the age thing Is what has fucked everyone up Like 41's an old quarterback Yes he's old Okay he's old We had to drop stats on you of his age He's old But let's talk about the booger thing Because the Jets have come a long way Back in the day they'd have Mark Sanchez And he would take the boogers out of his nose And wipe them on Mark Brunel's jacket Now you've got their quarterback Taking his boogers out of his own nose And then swallowing them What did you think when you saw that? Aaron said he did not eat it Okay I saw him eat the booger No he said the other angle Will show you that he did not It's a deep fake It's a deep fake Can I half defend Aaron Rodgers in this?

Don't eat your boogers I don't like when people shame For picking your nose Is the part that concerns me Yeah he should have eaten his booger He said he has never eaten a booger But we saw him We did It's on camera Never has to be a lie Yeah never is a lie When you're a kid everyone is trying a booger Yeah hand up I ate a booger when I was like 5 Yeah for sure But whatever The worst thing I'm dealing with now Is my son picks his nose And he just turns to me and says Where should I put this? I'm like what do you mean? Like it's your booger dude You fucking figure it out I'm not taking it They're just like trying to hand me his booger That is a valid question Because you never really know where to put I just flick it And then it just I get out for that a lot in my household To come clean it up with his mouth Lord Taylor used to eat boogers But for him it was like taking natural He would get amped up When Aaron Rodgers eats a booger There's nothing there If anything he's got like hallucinogens in there Yeah Lord Taylor just didn't want to waste any Yeah So you added You fired Robert Salah You added Devontae Adams You added Hassan Reddick So this is every week We got to do something for the Jets To be like hey it's not the problem I have a new thing too Aaron Rodgers said After the loss to the Steelers That there was a major moment In the team culture finally evolving Because Devontae Adams gave a speech That he said was the realest speech He'd heard in a locker room in 20 years Yeah Devontae Adams is now also the coach Okay okay Co-coaches Okay Player, owner, coach Devontae Adams You have to win this game I'm with you If we win I'm thinking soupy I love that What is the new guy though What does Devontae Adams say That makes it the realest speech ever That Aaron Rodgers has ever heard In his first week with the team He probably was like I heard a lot about how this Jets organization sucked But now that I'm here Oh my god Yeah You guys weren't lying Yeah like the realest speech We have no help here We have to do it Jets players The organization is going to do shit for us Yeah they raised ticket prices Season ticket prices Woody Johnson this past week Perfect timing Yeah I think it was 23% last year And now 25% next year Yeah they're in high demand Devontae Adams is like I want to see more Fireman Ed On the Jumbotron What the fuck is going on with Fireman Ed Rodgers did back Fireman Ed Which I respect Because I do think The ecosystem needs the superfan The ecosystem needs the superfan Fireman Ed's kind of a fraud He walked away Yeah no I know he did But I think he was like fighting people Because they'd be like the Jets suck And then he was just He was just fighting everyone And he was like I just need to step away from them No he stepped away after the butt fumble He gave up on the franchise I heard a story that it was just It was fistfight People were like the Jets suck He's like nuh-uh Yeah pretty much I think he gave a statement After the butt fumble He's like I'm not coming back This seems a disgrace I agree though The NFL ecosystem I do love the superfans Superfans is important Especially the ones that think They're a part of the team I love that about the NFL I just think that in this case Fireman Ed's kind of a fraud You can't just quit and then come back Memes I have something positive Memes is right Oh he got a fight According to Wikipedia Which is fact He retired as a self-proclaimed Mascot of the New York Jets Stating he would attend games But not in character He later explained that Confrontations with a small number Of Jets fans Had ruined the experience for him Actually that doesn't necessarily mean fight But he also chose the game After the butt fumble The question is Did he still go to the games If he just didn't go in character I think he's okay But he could just say that He could just say that I was going to the games When he wasn't True We're going to see if we can find him At the games Quits isn't just unofficial I love that he quit too Just because again he's unofficial So he didn't have to quit to anyone Yeah he gave up his salary Of zero dollars Yeah Memes I have some positive things for you Ready for it Right The Jets last four games They have played the second It is all EPA per play Second best defense The first best defense The eleventh best defense That's the sixth best defense So they have had a mini gauntlet here In terms of playing against Really tough defenses The Patriots defense is Quote unquote soft They don't have soft players Do you think Do you think that there will be A bounce off of soft game It's either It's going to be a bounce I just don't know which way it's going to go It's either going to be You know A locker room comes together Or the dissension is everywhere And the team gives up And they get blown out There was a rumor going around So it's either going to be a win Or a 20 point loss No but like a What's your prediction A win or a loss I lean towards 20 point loss Okay There's a rumor this week That Jared Mayo Was going to be one and done Would you like to see that Not this week I think you got to get him this season But I think Reading the comments by the way Under like anyone who reports What Kirk says is so funny Yeah It's great Yeah Kirkman reported that They were getting rid of him I believe the report I believe the report No it's at 48 hours I believe Right It's imminent I believe the report Right before the game Yeah It could happen at any moment Within these 48 hours I think that's unfair To coach Mayo to do this year But I think it's probably smart To move on after the season Someone else had a clip I saw Maybe it was Simmons posted a clip That was like It was a clip from five years ago That was crapping Like yeah Gerard Mayo Is our coach in waiting I mean the wheels have fallen off Kraft did the interview With the Breakfast Club I don't know if we talked about this On Wednesday Kraft did the interview With the Breakfast Club He said that He was the one that fired Belichick Before that It had been basically Said to the public That it was a mutual parting of ways And that's what opened the floodgates For Belichick to go in on Kraft And the first four weeks He didn't say much about The Patriots are negative And then after Kraft said that Is when Belichick said it on McAfee show He went on Brady's podcast To show that it's not a him Brady thing So I think the wheels Have completely fallen off I think Belichick's going to keep You know Keep leaning on Giving his honest opinion On the Patriots And it's probably going to get Bad before It's going to get worse Before it gets better So I lean towards 20 point blow What did the Breakfast Club Ask him about getting jerked off I don't know I didn't watch the full interview I want to know that answer I'm sure they did It had to have I doubt it Face off the fact that They were saying everything On the road to Brady And once they mentioned that once That was the only time Someone got shut down Yeah but you can't tell Charlie May not to ask About the jerk off thing He would say no deal On the interview They definitely talked about it Off air Yeah probably They probably yeah What's your favorite spots This is the first time Since 2001-02 season That the Jets have been favored Against the Patriots In consecutive games That's pretty crazy Yeah It's how long it's been It means you have to win this game It might be the most Must-win game of your life It is the most must-win And for a regular team We would easily win this Because the past two games We've played the Patriots We've had I think Seven plus sacks each time And now there's no David Andrews But it's the Jets So I have no idea Realistically all the time Going into it As the Jets We lose this game I like Greg's our line Greg's our line Miss field goal And then that's it All the time going into it There's so much I've been to this match I do have a stat This is the game of the week I do have a stat In terms of the over-under The under is 11-2 Out of the last 13 times That the Jets have played Against AFC East opponents And the under is 5-0 The last five times That the Jets and Patriots Have played I love the over I just think the Patriots Are an over-team now Because of Drake May And their defense is terrible They flip to an over-team And it's slowly catching up But it hasn't all the way caught up We're going to find out If calling your team soft works though That might be a variable in this They just called the S-word So they might go out there And be like Fuck that, we're hard Drake May is going to give him a shot Hank, you can win this game Or lose You sure? No, I think so.

We can tie. No, you're not good. This is not tie. We already have one tie this weekend.

All right, next game, Falcons and Bucs. The Bucs are in the cream school jerseys. The Bucs have lost everyone. So they have no Godwin, no Mike Evans.

That's not everyone, but it feels like everyone because those guys basically amount for all their catches. Bucky time. Full-time Bucky. Sterling Shepard time?

I don't know. I don't know who they're going to pass to. I feel like Baker has played on teams that have been utterly deserted of wide receivers in the past. So I feel like he will...

It's not going to be super ugly for the Bucs, but they've been a pretty good offense with their wide receivers playing. They're going to fall back to the middle of the road. Yeah. I mean, this is a huge game.

This is a huge game for the division. This is a huge game. These two teams, it does feel like our game, PFT, and this game, that's... You guys can obviously still win your division, but that's going to be kind of the mix-up race for a wild-card spot.

Yeah. They're important and impactful games. Yeah, so I would say that there are going to be three teams from the NFC North that get into the playoffs. And there could be four.

Yeah, basically if the Bucs... Because the West sucks. If someone runs away from the NFC East and then the Bucs die, then it could feasibly be all four teams. Yeah, it should be wild.

So Tampa, they are one in four in the creamsicles when they wear those. It still looks cool. It does look cool, but it also... That's not great.

That's not great. And not having Mike Evans for the creamsicles feels... Yeah, when you do a throwback... I mean, the jersey itself is going to be cool to look at.

I like it when the Bucs wear the creamsicles, but they're throwing back to the worst era of football ever. Yeah. When the Bucs actually wore those week in, week out, they were a very bad football team with the exception of 1979. Yeah.

But besides that, it's like we're going to throwback to celebrate our worst years as a franchise. Yeah, I think I lean the falcon into this game, but I also don't... I don't know. I can't decide if this is one of those games where it's going to be so easy because it's like, hey, the Bucs have no offense or everyone thinks that and the Bucs...

How they do that? Oh, they threw 15 screen passes to Bucky Irving. Yeah, Bucky's going to eat and they're going to fire that fucking cannon a few times, which is so funny that the NFL is cracking down on the gun celebrations. Yeah.

You can't pull out a fake shotgun and blast a gun in the face five times after sacking him, but then every time you score a touchdown, Rayman James Stadium just lights up like an armory. Yeah, you can't even flash your gun. Patriots, too. Yeah, Patriots.

They actually have guns. Those are guns in the end zone. But if Drake May pulls out, if he just shows a simulated gun in his waistband, Roger Goodell's going to come at that ass. What about the shooting we got?

Probably can't do that. I don't think so. You can't even do a bow and arrow selection. No guns.

Can't do it. What if you say it was a squirt gun? What if you pump it and you demonstrate it's a super soaker? That could be a shotgun.

What if you, like Joe Horn, when he pulled the cell phone out of the goalpost? What if underneath the goalpost you keep like a little orange cap and you put it on the top of your finger so it's clear that it's like a cap gun and it's not real? I think that works. That's what they got to do.

Just save a little orange cap and just put it on right after you score. Yeah, I like that idea a lot. What if you line up your offensive linemen? I feel like they've probably done this before but you throw a grenade, fake throw it, and then they all fall.

Grenades are fine. Grenades are totally good. Yeah, grenades are good. Drones are fine too.

Yeah, what if you do a drone? Yeah, Whip Joe Horn pulled out that cell phone and he dialed the number Sorry, you're dead. Yeah, you're dead, buddy. Okay, Packers at Jaguars.

Robert Salah has found a temporary home. He is coaching the offense from a defensive perspective. I love that. And so he's on the sidelines there which is like taking a picture of your XSX on Instagram and posting it just to get I feel like that was directed at Aaron Rodgers.

That's why Robert Salah is in Green Bay. Yes, that's why probably Matt LaFleur was like, hey, come here. I know exactly what he went through. Yeah, we can just talk about it.

Yeah, we can just talk shit together. So it's also a Doug Peterson kind of revenge game because he was a backup quarterback in Green Bay Packers. Sure. The Jaguars, I think, are going to get lit up by Jordan Love.

You think so? Yeah. I kind of like the Jags this weekend. Yeah, this is...

I'm not going to overthink it. Yeah, I'm not going to overthink it. I'm not going to overthink it. I think the Packers are...

Their offenses look good. They're a much better team. It's in Jacksonville. They're on a kind of winning streak.

The Jaguars? Yeah. Yeah, they've won one game. One game.

Yeah. They could make a winning streak. Yeah, they could make a big winning streak. Okay.

Colt of Texans. I don't want to pick on Anthony Richardson but I have to just share a stat. Anthony Richardson completion percentage this year is 48.5%. What do you think the second worst quarterbacks that last in the NFL 48.5% of his passes have been completed?

Who's the second worst quarterback and what's their completion percentage? Deshaun? Nope. Gardner?

Nope. It's Jacoby Brissette and his completion percentage was 58.5%. So the second worst is 10% better than the worst in Anthony Richardson. And among players with 150 plus attempts in their first two seasons in the NFL these are the lowest completion percentage over the last decade.

Bryce Petty 53.1 Deshaun Kaiser 53.1 Anthony Richardson 53.5 That's not good company to be in. No. Deshaun Kaiser and Bryce Petty is not good. I feel like they're going to just they're going to run him until he gets hurt.

I think that's the plan for the Colts. It's like we're not going to tell him to slide. We're not going to call plays to protect him. We're going to let him do what he does the best which is throw it deep and then sometimes run into people.

Yeah. John Taylor will be back too. That will help. That's a big one.

The Texans are weird. The Texans are good but their offense is not good. They don't feel like they're as dominant as they were in stretches last year, right? Yeah.

No, their offense is like hard to watch especially without Nico Collins. And then some of the weird stuff with time management I think in the games. I know that everyone picked the Texans to go far in the postseason this year but I haven't seen them stand out. I mean their record is very good but I haven't seen them stand out as being like this is an incredible team that's all put together.

Agreed. Agreed. Okay, next game I'm going to probably end up. Oh, they got Devin White though.

They got Devin White. Devin White. He was legend. The Colts also got DeForest Buckner back which should his practice window open I don't know if he's going to play but that should be huge for the Colts.

Saints at Chargers Alvin Kamara is playing with a broken hand and also he got a new contract which is perfectly Saints. That's really good. So I mean the Saints are your choices right now if you're in the Saints run office it's like keep restructuring the guys that you have and giving them like longer terms on their contract and keep kicking the can down the road which has worked for them in the past but the difference is right now those guys are already old and so now you're just extending them and making your team older in like two years. Yeah, I think the move they made with Kamara is it saved them $18 million which I don't really understand how that works they signed to do a new contract but they saved money doing it but yeah, I think that's their only solution now is just keep doing new contracts to save money and push it down.

On your current players. So what the Saints might end up doing is just in the next like 10 years have the exact same roster and they're a team of 45 year old guys and they lose every game but you're not in cap hell. Right, that's how they slowly climb out of cap hell which is very relatable which is like I'll just deal with this problem in two years. Yeah, two years might not even happen.

The Chargers have to win this game. They have to win this game. Yeah, they have to win this game. I do think they win this game.

I think they can run the ball. Saints defense is very, very bad. They're worst in the league in terms of yards per carry against 5.4 yards per carry so I feel like the Chargers are going to be just going to smash this down your throat but at least the Saints it does feel like the Saints will be a little bit they'll look better than they did last Thursday because they're going to get a lot of way back they got some offensive linemen back. I just want it to be a better the Saints are such a bummer to watch be a little bit competitive.

Yeah, Spencer Rattler had some of the most hilarious turnover plays last week. Yeah, I hope we get more of those. The Chargers, they have not scored an offensive touchdown in the second half since week one. Week one was the only time they did that.

They need a wide receiver. They need somebody that can catch the ball. They need ball catchers. Yeah, bad, bad.

Bills at Seahawks. DK Metcalf, if he doesn't play I like the Bills. I would guess that he's not going to play. He is officially out?

It's a grade one MCL. That sounds bad. That does sound bad. I'm going to guess that he's not playing.

We're going to have DK back on sometime. I'll say it and we can even tweet this out of him. I think DK uses the cart too much. Well, it's because he did that one time when he had to shit.

Yeah. Every time he goes on the cart is like season-ending injury. Yeah. That's what it feels like so when you see someone it's, I understand DK you don't want to walk and you want to get a ride but you make everyone who's a Seahawks fan who's a fan of you which we include everyone in this room very nervous whenever you get in the cart.

Yeah, I think that it really does go back to the time where he used it when he didn't need to use it. Unless he had already shit his pants. There was like a brown stain that I understand that. Or you could just wrap a towel around your waist and duck waddle to the bathroom that would have been fine too.

But since then it's the boy who cried wolf with the cart. I think in this case he's probably out. He's week to week grade one MCL sprain. I'm going to guess that he's not playing.

He's missing the next two practices and we'll have a sprain MCL evaluated on Friday. He also could be a guy who just regenerates. He's in that good of shape if you look at the game back afterwards. He can just sit and focus really hard on his knee on Friday afternoon and be like, okay, I'm better now.

Bobo time. Bobo. Bobo. Bobo.

JSN. Bobo. Yeah, this is going to be a fun game. This is a very fun game in the afternoon.

I'm excited for it. Panthers-Broncos, Bryce Young. He's back, baby. Back.

Andy Dalton got into a car accident, hurt his thumb. Yeah. Kind of a weird injury to have in a car accident but I'm glad that's all that it was. But this is bad.

This is bad for the Panthers for two reasons. One, Bryce Young's going to play like, maybe that guy's not that bad. Yeah. But now you're going to be reminded about how bad he is.

Yeah, and it's going to be bad because according to Sports Info Solutions, Panthers are the worst team versus the Blitz and the Broncos Blitz the second most in the NFL and also the Panthers have the 31st ranked rushing defense in terms of DVOA so it's going to be the Broncos running the ball down their throat and then blitzing the fuck out of them. I know this is a big line. I don't know how you could possibly take the Panthers. They're irredeemable.

I don't know either. They're irredeemable with nine and a half points. Yeah, irredeemable. Yeah, I still like the Broncos.

I think you probably make it 13 and a half. The defense last week was just so, so bad. So bad. And their offense, which had been at times not as bad as their defense was as bad if not worse than their defense was.

Yes, yes. And what I respect about them in the game against the Commanders you're getting the shit kicked out of you by Marcus Mariota and starting in like the second quarter you just start running football. Yeah. And you're like we're just going to we're going to make this game end as fast as we can.

Running clock. Yeah. Okay, Chiefs wrapping up. We've got a couple more Chiefs at Raiders.

I wanted to take the Raiders but then I remembered do you guys remember over the summer training camp when the Raiders had that video of Kermit the Frog dresses Patrick Mahomes and Patrick Mahomes quote after that was stuff like that happens it will get handled when it gets handled. That feels like it's going to get handled. But the Raiders are also a team that will not let Patrick Mahomes tiptoe along the sidelines and let up all of them. True.

They're going to finish those plays. I do agree though. That was a crazy move for the Raiders. Crazy.

Crazy with like a new coaching staff coming in your quarterbacks your Gardner Minshew and AOC. Why are you doing that? I guess the one thing you can say about the Raiders is they can lean into their team identity being we're the one team that will beat the fuck out of Patrick Mahomes. Yeah.

That's really all they have going for them because I mean they are a weird team. They beat the Ravens and they lost to the Panthers. Oh I have it for you. That's how strange the Raiders is.

Are you ready for this? So this is from Josh Dubow AP. The Raiders are the last team to beat the Chiefs Christmas 2023. The last team to beat the Ravens week two.

The only team to lose to the 2024 Panthers week three. And the only team to lose to a team coached by Jeff Saturday week 10, 2020. Yeah they're such a weird team. They're the weirdest team.

They're so weird. I mean looking back at that Ravens win it's like what the fuck happened in that fourth quarter. Yeah it was crazy. But I think that was actually good for the Ravens to see that happen to them.

Yeah DeAndre Hopkins is going to be good for the Chiefs. I know that he has not been great this year but it doesn't matter. He's still got the hands. He's still got the hands and it doesn't really matter.

It's just like this is where the Chiefs are at. Yeah. They're going to add him. He's going to be great.

He's not like the explosion they used to have beating people deep. It doesn't matter. He's going to save you on the outside. DeAndre Hopkins can just catch everything.

He will catch everything. He's still very good. I think we predicted that DeAndre Hopkins would be on the Chiefs in like week two. It's going to work.

It's like this is it's his destiny to get just like stay in shape by playing on the Titans. Yeah. You're still practicing football and catching balls. You're not really competing that much but you are going to be a Chief and you're going to win the Super Bowl with the Chiefs.

Yes. By the way Patrick Mahomes has the most interceptions of NQB in the NFL since the start of last season. That's pretty crazy. That is well.

22. Sam Howell 21. Jordan Love 19. Jalen Hurts 19.

Do you know what's going on with Max Crosby? Yeah well he's like maybe getting traded. He said yeah he might get traded and then he said I'm a raider. Let me make this pretty fucking clear.

I'm a raider. I want to be a raider. And his name keeps getting brought up and they were doing an interview with him the other day and they said like what if Antonio Pierce called you guys soft and he's kind of like mumbled through it and then he was like wait did he call us soft and the interviewer was like yeah he called you guys soft and then his reaction his quote was I would have a major issue if I was a player especially another man calling you soft I mean those are fighting words maybe it worked by Antonio Pierce like if your reaction is that's fighting words maybe that's the right word to say to you to make you want to fight. Yeah I don't know I mean Max Crosby if he gets traded that would be someone would get really really good.

You mean you're saying that he backtracked that? Oh he backtracked yeah he was on Jim Gray's podcast afterwards. Jim Gray again we've said this before how the fuck does that guy just have all these shows like how does he have a show with Tom Brady? He's just a secret commissioner we're just boys.

But Jim Gray hasn't done anything in like 20 years he's just he still gets like the biggest did he do the decision? Yeah I feel like it's crazy I didn't talk about it on the podcast he was the one that interviewed Tyson like the back is broken Jim Gray might be secretly super super wealthy did you guys know this is like did you know that Joe Buck has been calling NFL games since 1994? No. Isn't that crazy?

One of the first Fox guys? So I saw a clip it was the 30th anniversary of the longest punt return in NFL history 103 yards because the rule used to not be if it goes in the end zone it's not immediately dead so it was a Saints-Oilers game I want to say and the ball hit basically the back part of the end zone and then bounced forward and the Oilers guy just picked it up and ran it so he picked it up in the end zone and ran it and I was listening and I was like is this Joe Buck? And it was Joe Buck from 1994 and that's a play that record won't be broken because of the way that the rule is written correct can you play it? I know we can't well no you can play it the audio of it today's the guy I was looking at Jim Gray everything Jim Gray he's done the same thing and it's nuts and he's got like I don't know what his personality is he's just Jim Gray it was the longest punt return in NFL history 1994 Saints-Oilers I was shocked I mean I felt a little bad I didn't know that fact but when I heard it I was like is this Jack Buck?

How could this be Jack Buck? No it's Joe Buck is this it? Yeah Tommy Barnhart So a big snap on third down and now Barnhart isn't that crazy? 1994 how old is he?

Like 25 I think the way the returns have been going in this game I just assumed wait a minute what's going on out here? They down the ball this is going to be a touchdown that is one of the most unbelievable plays I've ever seen they never down the ball it was sitting in the end zone and the Rams pick it up and score Buck kind of got owned on that play ball didn't he? Like the analyst just took over Joe was just probably confused probably pissing yeah pissing the beer bottle crazy though 25 years old calling NFL games very cool nuts also shout out Jake who's going to be doing some college basketball stuff right? very cool Bears and Commanders the game is he going to play?

I reported on Monday that he was going to play so he's guaranteed so what can people do if he doesn't play to you? I stand by my reporting. So if he doesn't play what can people do? There could be a material change but I stand by my reporting.
