Kind of. He did all of it tonight. The Broncos Russian game did it a lot. If you've ever wondered what Taysom Hill would look like, if he was a little bit better at passing and a little bit worse at running, you got the full BONIX taste and hill experience tonight because Sean Payton was doing the old Taysom Hill playbook for BONIX and nobody loves calling their own number more than BONIX.
Yeah, he drops back like he does the five step drop looks one way and he's like, fuck, BONIX has to run this ball. BONIX has to run this ball or throw it in between two wide open receivers. I so when you were like, BONIX was fun a couple weeks ago, I was like, I don't know. And I was thinking more about Oregon BONIX watching tonight, like being able to take in a full BONIX game without any other games going on.
It's Auburn BONIX and I'll agree. He is fun because he just, he, he just, you don't know if it's going to be the worst pass or the best pass every single time he throws. We had full blown bow tonight. Yeah.
He was doing next on it and he was, it was the Broncos running game. They ran it down their face. I think they had over 200 yards rushing and the Saints are officially on quick watch. I would like to opt out of watching the Saints this year.
That two and O star, baby. That, how bad is Dallas? That's what's not really told me. How bad are the Dallas Cowboys?
Yeah. Now, obviously they're a car not playing. That has a little bit to do with it, I think. But the fact remains that the Saints, they're old, they're not fun and they're not getting any younger or more fun because right now we've talked for the last like five years about how the Saints have just been in cap Hill, their entire life or the entire at least like feels like the last decade.
Right now they own this is from Jason OTC. They have only three players on the salary cap who would save the team more than three million dollars in cap room next year if they cut. Oh my God. So their current 2025 salary cap position is the worst in the NFL.
Again. And how bad is it, big cat? How bad? It's 75 million more in cap commitments than the next worst team.
Jesus. So this is what we're currently witnessing cap Hill. And they also are like when I say quit watch, obviously injuries happen. But when key players start being like hamstring injury, a weird knee injury and you're like, do we even see him get injured?
Yeah. Might be quit time. Dennis Allen, Richard Sermon said at halftime, he's like, they're trying to get Dennis Allen fired. I wouldn't be shocked.
And the Saints are just like, this was so this is a bad game. But I kind of enjoyed it just for the fact that like Thursday night football the last two weeks, we've had really good games. Thursday football should be bad. You should just embrace the bad and just like just bathe in just shitty, gross football because you know, you got all the football coming up.
It's like the entry point to the weekend. And I kind of enjoyed the fact like even that first pass the BONIX had where he split his wide receivers that were both two guys that were open. And as wide open as you can miss both of them equally. Yeah.
And but yeah, it was bad football from the Saints, better football from the Broncos. Broncos are feisty. Their defense good, Patrick Sertan was even playing and BONIX. He's a roller coaster.
He is a roller coaster. So yeah, it's funny that you bring up like what Thursday night football used to because it's the one thing we, you know, old people like to be like back in my day, everything was better. No, it's like back in my day, Thursday night football was shit. Socks.
If you get good Thursday night games, that's not what Thursday night football is. Thursday football, I think, is at its peak when Al Michaels is actively complaining about how shitty the game is. The when I think Thursday night football, I think Broncos called last year, two years ago, Matt, I was Wilson. That was bad.
That's it's still will come because this season goes on. Thursday night football games get worse. That happens every year. Early season Thursday night football, you can get some good, like shootouts.
Then as the season goes along and everyone's banged up, it just gets worse and worse and worse. And I love it. I love it. So Broncos, I mean, they're four and three.
Champagne's doing a pretty good job. That that Boney X design run on fourth and one was nice. That was some Sean Patons. Like I got both.
Like you said, I've tasted Hill in bonus. Yeah, he's running the Tason Hill playbook and Boney X, he's not a great passer. Yeah, he's not afraid to throw the ball, but he's not very good at doing it. No, but he's better at passing than Tason is.
Yeah, he's just not as physical of a runner, but they're doing like the exact same plays that they used to do. Tason, I'm looking at the schedule for Thursday night football. We have a couple Vikings play next week, but it's at the Rams. We have Texans jets.
That's going to be that's good. That's gross on Halloween Texans at jets. Okay, that would be gross. Like it will be a good like that's a good game on paper, but that will be a gross game because you know both defenses will just have their way and it will be like frustrated and Rogers and it's on Halloween.
So there might be somebody in the stands that stress up as a fireman. Who knows if he's going to get on the jungle, John. Yeah, that's a great Sunday game and a bad Thursday. I agree.
I agree. And then bangles at Ravens. That will be fun. That'll be fun.
Then we got commanders and Eagles for a perm week 12 Steelers Browns. I'm looking forward to that one. Oh, yeah. I'm going to be great.
Take the under all right. What do you think? Let's guess the spread in advance Thursday night, November 21st, Steelers at Browns Thursday night, 35 and a half if the Sean still playing. I think it's be back to just back to Jesse.
I'm going to say yeah, 34. And I'm probably going to take the over and it's probably going to lose. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. So we also had some playoff baseball happen. Unbelievable comeback by the Guardians. They were down to they were down.
They were up 3 1 and then Class A comes in and who has been their lights out closer. Close the game seasons over down 3 0. It's all it's all for not is back to back. Dingers by judging stand.
Yeah. And then the Guardians just hit just two huge bombs of a walk off and one in the ninth or no, was it night two outs two outs in the ninth and they're down to that's the beauty of playoff baseball is like, do I think the Guardians are going this series? No, but that type of game you just never know. Do you see the video of the stadium?
They got the audio reaction of the stadium from like a mile away. It was rocket. It was sick. It was incredible.
I the Guardians, I think they'll win one more game. I think the Yankees are the better six. So whoever wins the next game. Oh, wait, wait, wait, but no, the series doesn't start until the road team wins a game, right?
He brought top me that. I'm just happy for Guardians fans because that felt like it was just going to be doom and gloom. No chance to even celebrate. You know, you beat the Tigers, obviously, but then you go to the Yankees and you get swept or losing five, but that was an awesome, awesome scene.
And now they got hope and now they got life. Now they don't have to go back to the Browns. Yeah. Um, and then the Mets are memes.
The game's not over. Uh, it is seven to two, three. We still have three. Three, what morning?
Three, nine more outs. There's nine more outs. So if we are wrong, if we're wrong up to this point, we're dead. OK, but I was going to say if we're wrong, because we the Thursday football game is so bad, we're like, all right, we can just start recording and this Mets Dodger game seven, two, if we're wrong before we get to our picks and preview, I want a solo three minutes of memes, three minutes of memes just going like coward, just talking.
Yeah, it's ran sassy. You could do three minutes. I need to be three minutes. I don't want you to be like, you know, what, in no jets talk and you can't do.
No, you can't do karaoke tequila either. Yeah. OK. OK.
I'll get you a close. Oh, yeah. I know. Pugs should open up the three minutes with 30 seconds of bug.
You know, I want to I want to plug in memes in these seats. OK. Yeah. That would be that.
I mean, now I'm kind of rooting for the Mets to come back and if the Mets come back, then we should have seen that coming. Yeah, because this is what the Mets do. That's true. Unfortunately, they didn't come back.
They lost. It feels like the magic. The Dodgers are just too good and get too many. They have too many dudes and like, I mean, it started with show hitting a bomb.
And that home run he hit on Wednesday night. That was a he put on the moon. I was stating it. Did they see crazy?
Did they measure how far it went? I know it was the upper deck, like the middle of the upper deck. But was there a tape measure on there? That's going to look up.
OK. Max is going to look it up. Max is going to look it up because sometimes those balls are going to the upper deck. I expect them to come back and say there's a 470 foot home run and they say it's like 390.
Yeah, because it's the height of it. Height is overrated. I've always said that. He's going to look it up.
Max said he's struggling. Too many lead off walks, though, for the Mets, given to the Dodgers. And so he finally got a hit when there were no runners on base. That was a weird stat that he had.
Yeah, now he's one for 21. One for 21 in the playoffs with runners on base, which is it's great. At some point, you have to think about not having him hit lead off, right? Yeah.
Yeah, you think so. What is it? What do you got? Struggling Max can't go in.
Go to stack cast. Just go to the box score. Yeah, I thought I realized that right when I said I was struggling. Come on, Max.
Come on, Max. All right. How far do you think it was? I think it was you're right.
They always those upper deckers are the best. Spencer Rattler just through the most famous Winston interception. No, James wins. And the Broncos are going to score again.
I'm going to say it was 438. Oh, 397. That's bullshit, right? That went halfway.
That's wrong. That's wrong. I don't trust that shit. 32 to three is a very funny.
So maybe you swear about me. I mean, look up, squir. Might be a square. Got me.
That would make 33 is a tough number to hit. That's a that doesn't feel like a football number. No, 33. Because like you get 34 sometimes.
You have to go for it. It makes sense. 35, obviously. Spencer Rattler.
I feel bad for Spencer Rattler. He doesn't really. He's lost like his entire offensive line. A lot of it was out.
She he was out. Brutal. I think they had eight starters out today. Yeah.
So they I think they had three actual starters on offense that were playing. Yeah. OK. Do we have anything else?
And maybe we'll maybe we'll have memes on in a second and not us. No, there's no chance. There's no chance of names. I'm rooting for it.
Memes. I would love to see if it gets tied. You still have to do it. I'm not even aware.
Yeah. Yeah, if it gets tied, that would be crazy. If it got seven seven. And what we talk about, you talk about them losing and coming all the way back.
You have to do it. It's three minutes of Metz content. Three minutes of Metz content. Do you want to just do it anyway?
No, no. No. I kind of want to see it. Pugging memes in the big chair.
I want to be here. I thought we were having a really nice. Yeah. All right.

We're ready to go a disclaimer before we start this week. And this is more of a PSA for everyone out there. But really for myself, if you are sitting here and listening to this right now and you said to yourself, man, I crushed last weekend. I had it.
Well, not you, Hank. We know that I had the best weekend of the year. I'm smart. I know this league.
I know exactly what's going to happen. Just remember that on Monday, it was reported that it was the worst weekend. Vegas has had in like 20 years. It really makes me feel like a sucker.
It was one of the best weekends for favorites of all time. Yeah, it was crazy. So this is a trap weekend. Watch out.
Don't fall for the traps. Come in your trap. Take your trap. Yeah, Kirk Kuzo means how do you feel about screwing that quote up and how many times that people will get mad at you online?
Which will the Kirk cousins one come in your trap, steal your trap, take your trap, come in your trap, take your trap, come in your trap, pull out of your trap, take your trap, come on, mess it up. Well, you said Kirk cousins talking about his upcoming game in Seattle. He was talking about his game in. Wait, whoa, Tony Bennett is retiring breaking moves.
The singer breaking moves Virginia head coach Tony Bennett is retiring. What the hell? Man, memes off the hook. So is Virginia going to be fun this year?
I don't know. It's they can't they can't do that. You can't do a switch. No, you can't switch up your style.
No, that's a weird out of nowhere. And then I take his spot and is probably going to be an assistant, right? Yeah. I always wanted to come to Wisconsin, but wow, Tony Bennett retiring.
OK, I mean, comment on the screwing up with that quote. I'll take full accountability. OK, good. He was trust issue with my sense of shame.
Oh, no. And I didn't overlook it when sending and that happens. Did you send talking about his upcoming game in Seattle? I sent him the video.
Oh, and Shane editorialize, but you're going to say I'm ability because I press and I just didn't read it. Yeah, I was walking to your trap, take over your trap. Yeah, you're talking about the Panthers. Well, Kirk cousins has become the most Atlanta guy in the world.
I love it. Yes, nothing brings me more joy than just seeing like after a game when Kirk cousins puts on his little like mascot chains. Yeah, and everybody like claps for him. Like, look at our little boy jumping around.
It's the best. It's the best. We just a Taylor Swift dance. The swag surf.
Yeah, swag and surf. OK, so London, let's start there. Hank, will you be waking up for this game? Yes, bro.
Yes, bro. Yes, bro. The whole game. You're in London time.
Drake May in London going up against the Jaguars. How are we feeling? This is the trap game. You said this is the trap week.
I don't know. I don't think the Patriots have a trap game. Yeah, neither can the Jaguars. Yeah, it's on trap, but the Jaguars are.
I guess the Jaguars could be a trap game, but not against another one in five team, but the Jaguars are rested. That's true. But you knew that. So that's a trap that you know.
But I think people are just worried that you know, Jack was a favorite. Yeah, they are five and a half. It's a very, can that be a trap game? Yeah, that doesn't make sense.
You can't have a trap game if you're not a lot of people. You don't know. Sure. That are like the Patriots Drake may look really good.
Explosive offense. But you lost by 20. Jaguars are terrible, but there are some there are some flooky turnovers. OK, Jaguars are bad.
This is going to be Drake May's coming out show and I'm just worried that, you know, the travel, you know, the Jaguars being activated, not traveling. I'm just worried that, you know, people will think that this is going to be Drake May's coming up or he just might not be yet. OK, are these people in the room with us right now? Are you going to take over the trap?
Not the London trap. I think the Drake May's never got a game. Are you worried about his health? You got MRI.
That was a scary. Was that a real story? Yes. Who reported it?
I thought a lot of people did. I saw last night the Patriots reporter Ben Volin, I think, was the one reported. No one else reported except him. I just saw that you took an MRI and then after there's no concerns after the and then I saw a tweet from an account saying, Mr.
Fill me up who said IDM Ben Volin told him Drake may have an MRI. Hope this helps. So it might have been he might have been a fake MRI. He might have eaten the trash.
It might have been a fake MRI or fake MRI story. Drake May was a full participant of practice. There's no great concern regarding his injury. And NFL networks insiders Ian Rapport might care full of.
That was the follow up that they I think only one guy reported that an MRI may was on the Patriots injury report. Yes. So the team actually listed them on there with knee injury. The Patriots would never play fast and loose with the league's injury policy.
They did not deny him having an MRI. But they did not confirm it either. Correct. That would be funny though.
If you got caught by some guy being like, Hey, I think the Patriots are going to be a live dog here. So I don't know how the Jaguars are favored by five and a half. I don't know anyone. That's a lot.
It's a lot. It's a lot. It sounds like a trap. A trap.
So take the Jaguars. No, because they shouldn't be favored by five. If this line was three, I'd be like, Oh, that makes sense. They're five and a half point favorites over the Jaguars are bad, which is why they're going to you see that.
You're like, the Jaguars are bad. I'm going to take the Patriots. But the Patriots are also bad. You're forgetting that part of this equation.
But when you say I was a trap game, but the Patriots are equally bad. No, it was the line makes those sense. The Jaguars are really bad. What's happening inside?
Is that Hank is thinking about the Patriots as a collective like football team that he knows and the Jaguars as a collective football team that he knows. And he's like, why are the Jaguars favored by five and a half? I think the Jaguars should be favored by five and a half over anyone. But the Patriots are also bad.
I know. I don't think you can. It can't be a trap game if you're an underdog. Let me just.
No, I know. I know. I know. I know.
OK, big cat, Dan Katz. I think this line makes no sense. The Jaguars shouldn't be favored five and a half. First anyone, the Patriots are going to be live dogs.
So it sounds like you're going to bet the Patriots. Yeah, it's probably that might be no, it's not trap. I'm going to take the picture. Hank's talking about trap.
Hank is hypo the same. There's two easy. Double trap. So we should take the Jaguars.
Yes. OK, that's my point. Got it. I think you might be trapping yourself.
No, you guys just explain my whole point. I can. All right. So when I when we first started this conversation, we should trap game.
I was thinking like a good team going to play a bad team overlooking them. That's the trap game. You're just talking strictly on the line. That's a trap.
Yeah, you're overlooking how bad the Patriots are because the Jaguars are also bad. OK, now it makes sense. So now I got to take Patriots. But I don't think that's the right.
I have a positive Trevor Lawrence stat. Well, not positive, but more in Trevor Lawrence's defense. I think I have the same stat. You have the amount of drops.
Yeah. Yeah. So Trevor Lawrence is coming to league in 2021. The Jaguars have dropped 113 passes per ESPN research, most in the league, and 21 more than the second place team Kansas City.
That's insane. It's also crazy that Kansas City has the second one. How many of those are canary stony? Yeah, I have to account for that.
Also, I read something pretty interesting about Kansas City and their drop rate the other day. People think that their lights were fucked up for like the last seven years. Like the night games in the stadium, though. Oh, really?
The light frequency, however, like whatever, like I don't even know what you call it. But it was a type of light that didn't provide. It was almost like a mini strobe effect. And it fucked up every single receiver that played there.
OK. And it was only in the night games. It was for every team that was like statistically an outlier to every other night stadium. It was also a very stony.
Also a very stony. But yeah, that is something not bad for Trevor Lawrence. Like I've seen a lot of drops, especially this year. His receivers have dropped some easy catches and easy touchdowns.
Can I just say one thing about it because there were some Jaguars fans being like the Jaguars dropped four touchdowns against the Bears would have been a different game. Three of them were on the same drive. You can't score three touchdowns on one drive. Yeah, that's a seven point swing.
Yeah. But they did drop a lot of balls. I said it on Sunday after the game. I said exactly that.
The Jaguars dropped a lot of balls and Trevor Lawrence is not getting any favors. What about Cisco talking about quitting? Yeah. So his teammates seem to kind of have his back.
So Andre Cisco after the game said, feel like, should I say this? We weren't playing as one. You don't like to use the Q word. There are two words you don't like to use in football.
The Q word and the S word for soft. So when he said that we quit, at first I was like, sounds kind of weird to say that about your team. But then I thought about it and I was like, well, he's not wrong. No, definitely not wrong.
He's not wrong about it. I feel like his teammates were kind of in that same mindset where they're like, yeah, we fucking quit last week. Yeah. And I think this game comes down to does anyone in that locker room like or feel good about Doug Peterson?
Because if they do, they have to win this game to save his job. But if they don't and want to quit, like you kind of can get out of it because he's going to be fired if he loses this game, right? Right. Possible mutiny.
Yeah. Oh, we know about that, Hank. Are you afraid of a mutiny? No.
Hey, so I think trick amazing to look good. Jaguar's defense is bad. I hope so. I was well-rested.
He gets, you know, no funky stuff with a layover or anything. Yeah. When did they travel? I don't know.
I got to look into that. The Jaguars are acclimated. So what's your pick, Hank? My pick in this game.
Yeah. I have to make one. No, well, okay. All right.
I like that. Wembley stadium. They have a half retractable roof. So is it going to rain this week in their main sense?
I think it's going to be a half the field. Half the field will be rain. I want to look up what the first half or first quarter line is even because the Patriots, I think they might be the worst team in the league in the first quarter. What about the second and third and fourth?
Well, that's different stories. Yeah. But this would be the ultimate first quarter because it does include like if you see a team that sleepwalk over there where they're still going to acclimated. And the Jaguars did win this spot last year against the Bills.
Remember their second London game? Yeah. The Bills were pretty good last year and they beat the Bills. So yeah, I guess I think Hank was right.
I think this is a trap for the Patriots. Well, it's a trap for one five teams. It's a trap for us. Okay.
So, yeah, where are you finding it out? I'm looking. When do they go? What do you got memes or max?
60% rain, but that's 30% rain with a half retractable roof. Correct. I think they did that right. Half retractable roof.
I don't really understand it. Oh, Max, it means just something. That's like a sofa, right? Yeah.
One of the lightning can come in. Lightning comes in. Yeah. All right.
Hey, find that force. We'll go to the next game. Okay. Seahawks at Falcons.
Seahawks at Falcons. Kind of like the Seahawks in this game. I think that the Seahawks, their defense isn't that far away. They're been injured.
They're just like big plays. I feel like that's a symptom of having a brand new defensive system that they're running with with McDonald. But I feel like they're not far away because when they're not letting up the big plays, they're actually not that bad against the run. This also feels like a hungry dog runs faster game where you have the Seahawks on a three game losing streak.
And the one thing that I could point positive to Seahawks, actually two things. One is from my friends and sports and photo solutions. The Seahawks love to run plays against middle of the field open cover two or four. The Falcons run a lot of that.
So there should be, you know, should be good today or Sunday. Also the Falcons have no pass rush whatsoever. They are averaging less than a sack a game. They didn't sack any golf in once last weekend.
So Panthers does feel like every Seahawks game we've watched the last few weeks, you know, Smith has been running for his life and been under pressure constantly. He might have some more time this week. I like to see. Yeah, he hasn't really been taking sacks, but he's been having to move around a lot and then just dumping the ball off or throwing out a bounce and just firing something off the side on target.
Remember Matthew, you don't? Yeah, he's on the Falcons. Yes. Remember the guardrails?
I don't remember the guardrails for huge for this. Yeah. So I feel like I feel like the Seahawks are close. They're not good.
They're defense. Don't get me wrong. They're defensive, especially the rush defense is not good. They're just gonna be a couple of bucks right now.
But what I'm saying is they're not far from being good. Yeah. They've just got to fix a couple of things. And the Falcons do run the ball well.
I like to see Ox in this spot. I like the Falcons overall for the rest of the year, but I've also retracted my take. I've done some soul searching about the bucks. I apologize for saying the bucks aren't very good.
It is 100% Shay bias. Yeah. I can read you like a book. I don't know.
I was sat with Shay for an entire game watching him and it just sits with you. It really eats away at you. Let me say, I get it. Yeah, I get it.
It's not fun. People who watch our streams get it. Who wins? Who wins?
That would be much more of a box fan if it wasn't for Steven Che informed me that they're willing to part ways with Stephen Chase's a box fan. That means they can open up the big tent to get people in the band. Because I love Mike Evans. I love Maker Mayfield.
I love us. Chris Godwin. I love Viva be. I love Bucky.
I love Bucky. I love all these guys. Yeah. There are fun team.
Chase Gaping. Chase screws it for all of us. Okay. Tightens up bills.
Amari Cooper now on the bills? He said that it's always funny because you forget like Cleveland Buffalo very close together. So he drove to Buffalo from Cleveland when traded. And he said he had a lot to think about.
So Josh Allen plays a lot of grit and hustle, called him one of the least best top quarterbacks to play with him, is really cool. And he said that it felt like the first day of school again driving from Cleveland to Buffalo. That's awesome. I'm excited.
First day of school is fun. Yeah, because you get your new fit. Yeah, you get your new fit. You get to see all the people you have this summer.
You go in there and you act all big and bad. Second day, syllabus week, not that fun, and before you get to college. Yeah, and I hate the internet for a lot of reasons. I love the internet for the random, hey, someone just thought of this game.
Josh Allen has thrown it past to a completion of Mario Cooper. Do you see that clip going around? It was in a week 11 game between the Bills and the Browns, and he threw one to the sideline and Mario Cooper, one handed it. And the best part about the clip is the game was happening at Ford Field.
Oh, I love that. Because of the stuff. I remember that one as well. So it's the most random clip ever to be like, look, Josh Allen and Mario Cooper have a connection.
I feel like this is where people are going to get sick of the Bills glazing. But I feel like this is a great move for the Buffalo Bills. Yeah. And this is also, I feel like this might be a smash spot for the Bills.
The Titans, I can't keep believing in the Titans. I keep doing it. And I just, I got to quit him. I'm quitting him.
I'm going cold turkey on the Titans. I'm going to say, I'm going to call it right now. This is the weekend where Josh throws an interception. But I think the Bills are going to win.
Hunter start too. Yeah, I think it'll be good for Josh to get that first one out of the way. I just, I'm done with the Titans. Done.
It's probably smart. Can't do it. Can't do it anymore. Done with the Titans.
Bengals and Browns. This is a fun game. Not really. No.
OK, here's why it's going to be fun. Let me pitch you on Bengals and Browns. Mario Cooper got traded. The Vides and Cleveland could not be worse, except for the fact that Nick Chub is back.
And I've watched multiple videos now. I think three different videos of Nick Chub, whether it be going out to the practice field for the first time. He did a press conference the other day. This team loves Nick Chub as much as they hate to Sean Watson.
And Nick Chub is the best. They are, it was basically he was standing at the podium, getting ready to talk to the reporters. And all the guys, they must have been walking in a hallway. And they always are screaming like, Chub's back, two, four, two, four, and all this stuff.
I think that you will maybe get a one game bounce from Nick Chub being in that huddle. And I might only run the ball 10 times, but just they needed something to change the vibes. Nick Chub changes it for a game. I kind of like the Browns against the spread.
Nick Chub is a very easy guy to root for. And I've been watching some of his mic dumps, where he's wearing the wire, and he steps out on the field, and then the video goes for like two minutes. And Nick Chub still hasn't said anything. He's the best guy in the NFL to mic up.
I hope they haven't worn the wire this time, because it's just him breathing, grunting. And then that's it. That's all he does out there. He's going to be fun.
It's going to be fun to have him back. The Browns have not scored 20 points or had 200 yards passing in a game. Maybe it changes this week. Also, what's wild about that?
You said 20 points. The last two home games at the Browns have had against the Bengals. And by 19 or more points. Oh, so they own the Bengals.
They own the Bengals. Yeah. Kevin Stavansky also, at Nick Chub did a really good piece in the players' Tribune. We were talking about his injury, his leg atrophying, to a point where he said his leg was the size of his arm, which his arm is really big, too.
He's got a big leg. But Kevin Stavansky told reporters that Nick Chub is a better journalist than all of you better football player, too. Better journalist than if they have the football player. Well, technically not a journalist.
