• Isaac Rowe: What's going on? You don't know Paul podcast nation. You don't know Paul Paul Paul. Leave it in. Leave it in. You got to leave it in. Fire Logan Paul. You don't know ball podcast nation. Welcome back to the show. We are we're all back. We got the gang back together and we're in our normal seating arrangement. Yeah. For everybody who was bothered by that, we fixed it. So obviously there's been a lot that's happened in the NBA playoffs that we haven't talked about since the Pistons were up to nothing in our last episode. The series has dramatically changed since then. Were they up to nothing since last time? Yeah. So we have Caleb's thoughts and reactions on that coming up. We also have the PGA championships. Started today. I have a $10 five dollar bad speed to win it all and you ain't getting five bucks He was first today at one point. I want three under now. He's a one under you can be bogey both holes Yeah, but uh What else is going on in sports recently? I don't really really don't know Outside of town we talked about NASCAR coming right? Yeah, Sean Strickland's the new middleweight champion That's right ⁓ UFC. Yeah, how you watch the fight? Damn, I didn't I didn't pay to watch. I it was good. I heard it was good. I heard it was good though way to get it off Dermot Our dear friend Dean won 250 bucks bet you bet a hundred on Strickland to win and he won like 250 for it Yeah, that's awesome I was sweating it with them Saturday night I think we were up to like 3 a.m. Talking on discord or something just about random shit. Yeah, he was like all that by 1 2 50 I can get a pizza now I feel that fight was pretty close though, wasn't it? It split decisions. Everybody was like, wins, let's go. Everybody was saying that shit. It was so funny to see the reels on TikTok and stuff. So the UFC fight at Washington, is coming up this next month? The White House card? Yeah, the White House card. I heard they added someone else. was it? Was it my balls was hot guy? Is that who they added to the card? Derrick Lewis is fighting. Dude, I don't know. They added one more guy to that I thought they were any kind of a Gregor to play fight on that card, but I Guess he didn't I McGregor's fighting on a different card later in the year you would think I heard they take like six months rest in between fights and stuff Is that true or is it do really? Okay, it took like ten years ⁓ Who's ⁓ who's the guy with like the pink hair that Patty yeah Sean O'Malley is he fighting still? He was probably the only at the White House. He's probably the only person I've watched like fight live because I had a roommate was fighting. Derek Lewis? Oh that's cool bro. He's Josh Hoka. Oh hell yeah. played for the 49ers. Oh wow you ain't beating him then. I hope Derek Lewis wins that shit. Hocus last fight he was like flipping the guy off. Oh so that fight is going to be like comedy pretty much. It's going to be funny. Oh dude. Let's go bro. Good defense squad. We might have to go a lot out. We're not going to pay pay-per-view for that. I'm not paying for that. It's on Paramount man. Is it on Paramount? Oh wow. All these damn streaming services man. It's like who? Paramount bought the UFC's uh... streaming rights in America. watch that shit on Dude, and there's a huge market for that, too. feel like there's so many people I know that I would have just never knew so much about UFC. Like Dean, for example, random ass ball knowledge on UFC. Bumble. We get the ball Let's go, Dequarius. Let's go. Dean's got random ball knowledge about UFC. Yeah. I mean, he watches it religiously. Who's his favorite fighter? Probably Strickland or O'Malley, like one of the basic ones. I mean, see, that's the thing. I don't even know who the basic ones are. Like, I don't watch UFC, so. I don't ever watch UFC. Too violent for me. Too violent. I only watch the PG sports. I only watch the backyard brawls, if you know what I'm saying. Who's that one guy we were on? Death Sentence! Death Sentence! If y'all know about death sentence bro, you know about- That's our Wing C. those fights are ridiculous. I'm surprised there's some people from playing while they haven't ended up on that. ⁓ I bet they there's a lot man. I was waiting for it. I was waiting for it to shout out. I our center just fell down. Wait, who's that? Who's come on? Dermot. Okay. ⁓ good slide. Who's another person from our like high school that could be like a UFC fire? Let's just take one. ⁓ Bryce Marshall. Bryce. ⁓ yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, I'll say him. Seaver. James or Colin? Colin. ⁓ No, can't say Whooped Joe's ass that one time. I've seen Colin. ⁓ yeah. I've Colin his ass, and I've seen Colin get his ass whooped. I mean, it goes back and forth. What about Cody, the rapper that Cody, the rapper? Against Hannah or whatever. Hannah. That's crazy ball now. I want to see him go, wow. two, whatever that. ⁓ You've got Owen too against Hannah? Oh, work JB. I bet Jordan would be really good Jordan has a brother that boxes. Oh, yeah Yeah, John dude that whole Pierce family just got insane like endurance and San Francisco Capcom good good work. I'm how How much stamina they have like oh, yeah, all of them. Yeah, I think Who was I just ⁓ yeah, I was so this was like pride senior year. We were in like we were like messing around in reps It's like two in the morning. I think you guys were all there too. It was a big group there Jordan and I were after our workout He grabbed the gloves and we go on like the mat in the back But I was there but they have like the yoga classes and Jordan and I start boxing dude. He was whooping my shit, dude Connor and I box one time Connors got long arms, man. I box Connor too. And I also got my ass whoops. I did I didn't I didn't throw many punches against Connor because I didn't want, I don't know. I didn't want to, I don't want to go too hard on him. Yeah. Yeah. Take care of a little bro. Sorry, Connor. That's not me, but dude, remember how to go. I remember leaving that gym. Like my ribs hurt. Like every time I landed a punch, I knew he hurt too. So like it's, was, was even, it was fun. Dude, Jordan kept hitting me with a face shots, man. Headshots and Jordan would clock your shit. It was so. That was the days of just all the guys being home for summer. I was chill. Play fighting in the gym. It's all right. Whatever. It's fun time though. Screen. All right. Let's get into your basketball thoughts. The Pistons and. Cavaliers obviously in the rest of the series are happening right now We definitely saw the Pistons and experience at the end of the game last night I don't know if you guys know or not They blew a nine-point lead with like two minutes 30 seconds left might have been three minutes left But and mind you this is after being having controlling the lead for most of the game I would say Dennis Jenkins incredible game 19.0 turnovers And then at the end, it's like Cleveland just can't miss everything that goes wrong for the Pistons. Everything that needs to go wrong does go wrong for the Pistons. Before you know it, it's a two point game, tie game. And then I think the Cavs tie it and they have a chance to win. Refs miss a horrible call on Asar Thompson. He strips Donovan Mitchell's game winning attempt. I did see that. Goes for the loose ball, gets pushed by Jared Allen, no call. And I don't know, you see all these NBA analysts talking about it. And they're like, yeah, if that was a second quarter, that call is being made, but not at the end of the game. And it's like, Pistons got hosed. And it's crazy because it happened last year, too, the same situation, almost. Tim Hardaway Jr. takes a corner three. Josh Hart fouls him. They don't call it. Could have won us the game. Let's be honest, Asar Thompson probably would have bricked both of them. But it would have been nice to have the chance, you know? And then Pistons just played like dog shit in overtime. And that's an experience showing. I think they panicked, and that's James Harden and Donovan Mitchell, man. And I think that shows you what the Pistons are really missing. Tobias Harris didn't have too great of a game last night. He was scoring 20-plus a night before that. He only dropped like maybe 12 to 15. It just goes to show what an extra five points can do. Maybe if we had a 14-point lead, that wouldn't have happened. But I can't be too upset, like I was telling these guys before the podcast started. I just think. Pistons have had a great year. I can't be upset with how they've done just based off how they've done throughout my whole life. I'm incredibly proud of them this year. It just sucks to see them go out like that. But it's still a series, man. They didn't win the series last night. So we can go win in Cleveland. We did it in Orlando. ⁓ So hopefully JB Bickerstaff knows what he has to do. And Jalen Duren needs to just not play, honestly. I'd rather play Paul Reed. We should have been playing Beef Stew at the end of the game, I think. Who's Beef Stew? ⁓ That's they call Beats. Yeah, that's fire. Yeah, dude beef stew. And dude, because he's a better stretch five than both of them. He can shoot threes and that's what we need to have a severe lack of floor spacing against this team, which is Cleveland's built to defend the paint with Mowgli and Jared Allen. And what do the Pistons do every frickin time they go to the paint and try to score? And it's it's like insane. It's insanity. And not only does it probably weigh on the Pistons. It weighs on us as fans just to see the same thing happening over and over again. And JB Bickersdorf is probably trying to trust Durin, who was an All-Star this year, to go out there and do something. And it's not happening. He's not getting the rebounds he was. He's not good off the dribble. I don't think he's that great. this is, you know, I was saying it the whole year, the Pistons, every time they played someone and they dominated, it was because the team they were playing was mid or bad. or the good teams we played were rest all their starters for some reason. So Jaylen Durin, you know, good luck getting that payday this this off season. They still might give it to him. But yeah, this is not a good playoffs for him. We'll see what happens in game six tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it as always. It's going to be a good game. And if the Pistons lose, they lose. You know, I've come to accept it. At least they beat the magic. We'll take it. Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's over yet. I don't I definitely don't think it's over. think Kate Cunningham has got at least two games left in him like really pull this off and I think Tobias Harris is gonna go go go. Oh my god. He's Holy crap. He's fast. Holy cow. Who is that our title? Who was that? That's a receiver. That's Hampton. Hampton. Yeah. 87. Yeah. That ain't no Hampton. But ⁓ I don't I think this series Alonzo way. Okay. Okay. Hey y'all welcome for signing him He made that I think the truck this guy I think the pisses no way remain optimistic. I'm gonna say the pistons and pull this one out Yeah, I'm gonna go the Alex Roach right here He said that he said the pistons are gonna win after they're down 3-1 He did and you know what that was that was a crazy call And I said, ⁓ you just gotta have hope man. He's gotta keep hope so Kate Cunningham we trust. They just need to win this next one and then they get back at home. They've been in this situation before man. Maybe they just want to win in Detroit. Yeah. Why didn't they do it last night man? seven in Detroit is better than a game five. Dude if they somehow make it to the finals this year playing like every series is a best every series goes to game seven. Good God could you imagine. And every game seven is at home is it for them. Unless it's against the. Spurs or Thunder better records on but we have the number one seed Yeah, but yeah, but if the Spurs have a better record even though they're the two seed if they make the finals Which that was my finals prediction? Biasedly obviously but Anyway, I think I'm gonna go with the Cavs. I think they're gonna win it here in six I Pistons have not shown any life really besides maybe some good second quarter play both games against Cleveland when they're at home and the refs right now too, it feels like there's just nothing we can really do to Change what we're doing to change the calls that we're seeing like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. They know they know what to do with the refs mean, they know how to draw the calls and I can't be mad at that as a fan. I cannot be mad. They're great players So for that reason, I'm gonna go with the Cavs and six Just makes too much sense for me I Alex and I both agree, Pistons and Seven. Royale? I got Pistons and Seven. ⁓ man. All right. Hey, they won last time I went against them, so. Maybe you're just keeping up the hope or whatever, the good luck series or whatever it is. Whatever lore you have about just going against your team seems to work for you, so whatever. Yeah, and every time I picked UCLA to win, they lost. That was tough. Yeah, so maybe you learned. ⁓ All right, so obviously that's not the only series in the playoffs. On the other side, Minnesota is doing their job to try to keep it interesting. I also think the Spurs, Wemby getting ejected in game four allowed them to keep the series alive, the Timberwolves. ⁓ They're doing pretty good without DiVincenzo, but even still, Wemby's a different animal. need someone. And they have the perfect guy to deal with him too. And Rudy Gobert, he's had his moments in his games where, oh, pick that. Ben, their core backs hurt. Let's go. Ben Payne. Yeah, he's in pain. But yeah, man, watching Wembe play is incredible. He's so fun to watch. saw Gobert lost the other night. I saw that clip too. That's like a defensive player of the year, and Gobert, he was lost. Get that brother on the map. I said it's so interesting to see those two play against each other because they play together on the Olympic team in France Yeah, and Wemby has known him since he's been like 15. So Yeah, I mean and don't when he's only what 20 21 now, so they've known each other for a minute And he's probably looked up to go bear too, so it's just cool to see that matchup Yeah, you know you couldn't pick anyone better to guard against Wemby and it's still like he's too too big too big too tall too fast i don't think you should have got ejected the other night though i didn't think that was terrible call an elbow right to the neck bro you didn't mean to yes he did oh he just got them long arms dude yeah he definitely meant to bro it's just an accident i'm naz reid ain't die but that's because he's naz reid man naz reid deserves was just an accident, What was he even doing to him, man? We don't know what he was talking about with Wemby. Yeah, he was probably threatening him. about his mom. Yeah, could have been. Or all those women in San Antonio. Yeah, Big old women in San Antonio. What'd you say they eat, I said they be eating churros, man. ⁓ All those big old women in Chuck had another good moment about Max Streus the other night. He was like, that's a pretty man. Kenny Smith is going why are you saying he's pretty man? Why you saying he's a pony tail? Like they're all grilling him because it's like dude, that's that's just like you're gay That's some sort of compliment I guess All right, so Nick's are playing the Maybe they swept the sixers. Yeah, that was not even close. I would have rather seen the Celtics But to be honest, I hate the Celtics. So I'm kind of glad. Yep I'm glad that there's a chance we can see Pistons Knicks again. I don't want to see Cavs Knicks That's gonna be a boring series. Yeah, I think the Knicks are gonna mop the floor with them, but Pistons Knicks That has some more to it. Let's go to the finals New York's gonna be a riot ⁓ Dude, they're going to be though. That's going to burn down. Yeah. There won't even be a big apple anymore. It's just going to a big New York against either of the top West teams, I think, would be a great finals though. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to lie. I would love to see them there because they've been. New York's been at this for a minute now. They lost in twenty twenty one first round to the Trey Young Hawks, lost in twenty twenty two to somebody. They lost in twenty twenty three to the somebody. 2024 to the Pacers 2025 again to the Pacers they lost now It's like they're finally ready to make the finals. So I think I hope they make it to be honest I would love to see them in the finals. I see if they make I want to be mad. No, like Jalen Brunson I think I don't like Brunson, but I like really you don't like Brunson. Why is that? Because of the series last year, okay, not only did he play well, but he just had a couple games He was just flopping all over the place man. It's hard to watch about Carl Anthony town. I don't like cat cats. Okay You don't like cat? No, I don't like cat. He's funny. He's kind of He's zesty, man. That was unreal. How did he catch that? That is an insane catch. After all that. After all that. I hate your son. Then he comes and says that to Ant. And he's like, Anthony Edwards is in Target. And he's like, these are my two seven foot sons right here. Yes! Gobert and Carl Anthony Towns. And Carl Anthony's like, I hate your son. I picked off my Macer gun. Picked off? My Macer. Who is that? I don't know who that is. 18. I don't even know his name. Another series we got, unfortunately, the goat got swept. Yeah. LeBron. is smaller than This whole time I thought you were Jordan. Why am I like... We've always been Bron. Am I like tripping? Yes. OK. It's always been... I must have went to another universe, man. For real. I've always been Jordan. You guys have always been LeBron. That's what it is. OK. It balances us out right here. You know, that might have been LeBron's last game. Yeah. I believe it. I think he shows. I think he comes back from one year. He's not going back to Cleveland. He's got his whole life going back to the land. He's got his whole life in California. Why would he leave? Going back to the land. You have get brawny to go. This man is 41 years old. Going back to the land. No, he's not. Dude, it does not make sense for Cleveland at all to sign this. Other than just having the bra on your team. Yeah, it doesn't make sense. I having LeBron on your team is a good reason. Yeah. Anybody would you rather have LeBron James or would you rather just ⁓ I mean, I'd probably rather have LeBron James. However, all right, so it makes sense that I read it. I was in. Duncan Robbins is younger. Shit. I had Michael Jordan. know, I know. I think I honestly think there's a real chance LeBron signs with Golden State. Really? Yeah, because he's on his last year of contract with L.A. So, mean, he's going to be free agent. I think I honestly think there's a real chance LeBron signs with Golden State. Really? Yeah, because he's on his last year of contract with L.A. So, mean, he's going to be free agent. Do you think he'd go play him in Curry? That'd be insane though. I do think Draymond's gonna get a call his Draymond's gonna be like, I don't think he's leaving Brownie though. ⁓ a good point. a grown man. He's grown man. Do you think he'd go play him in Curry? That'd be insane though. I do think Draymond's gonna get a call his ass. Draymond's gonna be like, I don't think he's leaving Brownie though. That's a good point. a grown man. He's grown man. ⁓ Dunham was saying this up the other day because we were talking about, was like, dude, I think he's going to Golden State. Draymond's going to hit him up. And Dunham was like, can't leave his sperm. I mean that's a good call baby boy you ain't leaving him after he's played with him two years so what they'll do a sign-in trade all right would you rather play with Jack go or Ronnie if Ronnie was my son Ronnie dude are you right I made people you know if I played with them if I had to play with Ezra I would I would play with Ezra when you play with Titus? Hell no that boy a bum. Yeah him I'm the head coach here. Only holds a record for ⁓ know Big Ten record for a bunch of shit. That ain't good enough man. ⁓ never won a Natty. Never won a Natty. Never won the Natty. But ⁓ yeah Lakers just could not get anything going against the... Thunder Shy. They could get things going. Their defense just wasn't good enough. Their last game was the closest one. they almost had it. Looking like the unks out there. No, they were great. They were great in game one, too. Just Thunder's too good, too disciplined. Chet Holmgren and Shy Gilders at Alexander. It's crazy a roster that's built that well can exist. I think the Spurs are the only other team that can really. compete with them depth wise. I didn't even know that De'Aaron Fox played for Spurs until I watched the game. was like, ⁓ my god, that's De'Aaron Fox. Yeah, he's kind of sneaky for them now. He's not a star anymore on a star, but he's definitely like, he's a well-known name. He just had his best years in Sacramento, but he's just a really, really solid point guard now. He's kind of like, he reminds me a lot of John Wall in that way. Like, John Wall was never really a super duper star. I mean, he was playing friggin' Yeah, exactly. let's not, let's be, oh my God. Wow. How did he tiptoe that? Wow. Let's go. Dude, why is he already better than Atlas? pisses me off. That's not even Unkbuck. That's that's Kabka. Let's go. uh, Kabka. We're talking about Washington. Yeah. No, we're talking about the thunder. Washington's been out of playoff since like, no, I know Since Wes unsealed bro, since they got with a rest Brooke Speaking of Washington though. They got the number one pick. Yeah, dude AJ speaking of BYU AJ to Bonta going to Washington. I'll pose be X Yeah, actually, yeah actual probably get drafted by Golden State. Oh, okay I saw by the Pistons what Pistons draft pick is like number 30. They're not good Okay, well, I mean, yeah if he falls to us Yeah, actually yeah actual will be a lottery pick there's gonna be a team there cuz there's been so many pick trades now like I'm sure Like Golden State for example, like they have the 13th pick. So they're they're in the lottery And Yax will probably fall in that 10 to 13 range. If he's there, that's a good pick for them, honestly. They're looking for guys that can contribute now. So you pick a 23, 24-year-old coming out of college. He's Dominican LeBron. Isn't that what they call him in Ann Arbor? Yes, they did. That is so funny. I was surprised that Morris, the other Michigan player, wanted to leave. Marez? Yeah, Marez Morris. Marqueef or Marcus? I think he means Mares Johnson. All right, Mares Johnson. No, he's got it. saw, sorry, the Morris comic came from a, you know the Diamond Gym? Yeah. There's this old that showed up randomly. He's like, my name's Morris. And he breaks all the rules about drinking water or anything. he's like. That's why I thought more is so now I'm bet more as Johnson uncle's kind of getting bitched by James Harrison though. He was. Yeah. Yeah. We got to say to James Harrison for real. What are you going to say to him? Morez Johnson was in the top percentage or three point shooting too. He reminds me of beef stew. Yeah. That's because he's he's going to be kind of an undersized center in the in the league. I don't think he'll be playing power forward but Yeah, let's go beef stew is a really good player comparison for him a day Mars gonna go to the Warriors That's where I think is gonna go he'll get chosen earlier than that You don't let a seven foot three seven four guy 13th thought they had 11 I thought it was 13 because they were like the last team eliminated from the playoffs or something But a day Mara will go he's gonna be like a Zack Edie number like price like seven or eight you know, late top 10, but you just don't, dude, I just saw his shuffle drill. Dude, a seven foot three guy should not be moving like that. He was not moving like that at UCLA. I'll tell you what, man, I'm still salty about that. training program, man. Dude, it really is, bro. That's why all the really tall big men like Oliver Rio, if they offered him, he should have went there. He would have probably been transformed into. I mean, he wouldn't have been crazy mobility. yeah, I mean, he would have been something. Because obviously, they know what they're doing with their big men. Yeah, obviously. But all right, I think that's enough on the NBA playoffs. I we covered almost all of it. Alex just showed me a graphic. It says the Lions schedule was released. Yeah. Every game. All games. Yeah, so let's read those off real quick. All right. Should we do our win-loss predictions? Sure. why not? All right, here we go. ⁓ Way too early We'll go more in depth with these. Yeah, we haven't even done free agency have we? ⁓ We haven't even done our ⁓ college draft pigs or whatever. yeah, fantasy draft yet. That's in May. That's in the later later this month That's our 100th episode or something like that. We'll do that live or whatever Wait, is that for college or? Okay. Yeah. All right. So here we go Week one we are home Against the New Orleans Saints, okay? I'm gonna go I'm gonna go the win win here. I'm gonna take a win here, too Week two on September 17th. We're gonna be in prime time at the Bills new stadium I feel like it's easy to say loss here, but I'm going to go win. I'm going to go win too. think it's yeah. I'm going to go loss. I'm going go loss. I'm going to go loss 35, 27. Yeah, it's going be close though. Okay, Dermot. Oh, Jellybean, you all right? We come back home on September 27th at 1 p.m. against New York Jets. Oh, we'll that one. Straight up win. This is one we would lose, bro. So we're two and one. We're two and one right now. We're going to shove it down here in Glenn's throat. Then we come back. I know we go away. four, October 4th at Carolina. Panthers. Oh, that's a win. We'll that one. I don't think easy, but that's a win. I think easy. We're 4-0 in my sketch. Week five. Boy. Week five, we're away again against the Jeremiah Love. Arizona Cardinals. ⁓ they'll win that game. I think I wait there away or home. I think this is when we lose I'm going to loss to the cards I think we got that in the bag. I think I think we'll win. I love three yards. Sometimes those away games just get you though. Carrie the last time we were in Arizona. We belted their ass. So well, they were probably playing Kyla Murray's go Why is Dermot better? Why is Dermot actually the truth? Why is Dermot actually the truth? ⁓ All right, so in week six, have a bye week. Week seven, come home. Let's go, bibs. Week seven, we come home again against the Jordan Love Green Bay Packers on October 25th. So Halloween, somewhat Halloween weekend, maybe the week before. Oh, you said we're home? We're home at 425. I think we get that one over the pack. I'm going say we go on a streak here. I'm going L. All right, so week eight. November 1st, we play against either JJ McCarthy or Kyler Murray, Minnesota Vikings. I think we lose that one. We're home again. Oh, we're home for one. We'll win that I don't think we do that two years in a row, so I'm going to go win versus the Vikings here. I think JJ McCarthy's benched by this point, Oh my gosh. Wow, you hated that? Dude, did you see that move he just did on us? I nine's getting benched. Nine's, nine's He might be starting by then. Nine's going be licking his lips. Yeah. All right, so November 8, week nine, at 1 PM, we got. the Miami Dolphins away away away. We'll that one. And then we go right out of that November 15th in Germany. We played New England Patriots at nine thirty. And that one I think we lose in Germany. Really the Patriots really aren't that good. Made the Super Bowl. Their coaches got caught having an affair guys. He's a dog dude. You're a variable you do too. No I would not be saying that. i think we win that one alright so from we have a win loss we have to be a unit yet i can't do all i thought three losses already how do we stop that boy We have two losses right now three losses if we include the one the Patriots won father was a loss. All right, so three losses then we come home again on November 22nd Against him Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mmm bake against day at 1 p.m. I think all in that one We have Bakers now number so I think Baker's got our number Then, on week 12 at November 26th, 1 PM we play on Thanksgiving, the Chicago Bears. Win. I think it's about fricking time we win on Thanksgiving for a change. think we'll ever win on Thanksgiving. Lost. Just never. I don't think we will. All right, December football. On week 13, we're away at. the atlanta falcons i would win that honestly yeah i think i think we can beat the fell we're show why jimmy here gives is way better than the john robinson about the right back to the ground on the general's general and jimmy that's not in that order we're eating for my bracket right now and my schedule for charlotte every comeback home with nashville i mean from that night national we got the tennessee tightens coming out one p ⁓ december thirteenth will be dead as will be the ⁓ i think i think we can wait then were away on december twenty at the week of christmas at eight twenty p ⁓ at the minnesota vikings all boy will be done you know We might be so injured and battered at this point. don't think we beat the Vikings twice in the year, so I'm going to take a loss here. I'm going to swap my Minnesota losses. We're losing Minnesota there. We'll beat them earlier in the year. All right. So on December 28, the week after Christmas, at 8.15 on ESPN Monday Night Football, we got the New York Giants. We'll win that I depends on how injured we are but I do think we can probably squeak out a win against the Giants. So. And then. Unless darts just playing out of his mind. All right. And then the week 17 we are away at Chicago on January 3rd. Winter football pretty much at Soldier Field at 425. I think we own the Bears. I'm going to say a loss there. I'm going to say loss there as well. think we'll. whole defense can be injured by them. ⁓ 11 of them ⁓ starting linemen and the ⁓ ⁓ think I'm gonna say that we lose to him earlier in the season rather than later. So I think it makes more sense we lose to him later. So that's why I picked the loss. don't think we'll do that in Thanksgiving this year. Was that it was that it was that all the games. No. And then we have one more week 18 at Green Bay. Oh, I forgot about this one. And time is TBD. So is the day. Do I think we lose to the Packers twice? I think we could, to be honest. I think we lose that I think we lose that one, too. Because we'll probably be clinched a playoff for Earth and we'll probably I'm going to say a win here. If we have back-to-back away games, I think the week one against the Bears is a wake-up call, and then we go beat the Packers. Yeah. That game's at home? No, the second one's away. So we have. I'm saying we're 18-0. Two. Six. We're the possibility of losing. We have four losses. Yeah, you know, because you've got to give the jammer out of it. I got us going 11-6. Yeah, that's pretty much what I got us going 11-6, too. 11-6. 18-0. Just getting 11-6. 18-0? going with whatever you guys say. You don't know ball, broadcast is a prediction for the. Detroit Lions schedule is 11 and 6. We got a pretty easy schedule to start the year though. First four games, we should be at least three and one. Oh yeah. Going into the- It was pretty easy last year too. I mean- We were five, we were what? Six and two after that Bucs game. Yeah. And then we just started losing. I thought we were six and one. I don't know. don't remember. I think we only had one loss by that point. I'm pretty sure I remember distinctly watching Mike Evans get hurt. And I was like, oh yeah, the Lions are five and two. Hell yeah. As soon as they got hurt. ⁓ yeah. Well, I just remember like because the scoreboards they have for the NFL like the broadcast. ⁓ yeah, they do. I I like to look at them because they're all different. So it's like cool to see what the differences are with each one. I just know the record five and two is ingrained in my memory and I'll go find the play right now to see. I go out, please go. Dermot, go ahead. So you think we're what? Six and one at that point. After the game or what? What do you think the record was during the game? Because this is and one you think was five and one all right. I think it's five and two Mike Evans. I don't think we played seven games by that point. It was Wasn't it a Thursday night game pretty sure it was five and two it was totally not at all We were both wrong. It was there's four and two You were closer than me though it was No, I was not closer than you were closer than me how cuz I they won that game and they turned one night. Yeah I said five you were you said five and one night Thursday night. No, it was Monday. Okay, the Monday night I yeah, I just I remember watching him get hurt and I looked down I thought that said five and two not four and two Five and one I remember that. Yeah, I remember watching that and I was like damn Damn we won. Yeah That was a fun game our D. Yeah, I remember Who was that corner's name? ⁓ Talib is that his name? No, it's not. It's uh, who am I thinking of? Rockets in. Yeah. Yes. A scene. had a great game that day and I was like, wow, he really stepped up. He didn't do that again. Punching balls out left and right. Yeah, he was. Legion of whom? Wow. I came over here for that game. Yeah. Yeah, you were over here. I forgot about that. We were watching that together. Were you here? No, you were. We're going to be doing. No, I remember I was in my apartment. the time but I remember we're gonna have to do that a lot more our damn right chill watch NFL games here have beer ⁓ get the smoker going? the grill? No, we should grill. We should all bring food. Don't let Isaac grill. My grill cannot do burgers at all. Don't let Isaac grill the burgers. I think you should just put like a pan down in front of your grill. then just turn it into an oven. I'll just hang a skillet on there. Why not? I was thinking there's just one, okay, it's not even a sports thing anymore, but on top of our oven, there's like this like pan that like lays across. was thinking about putting that in the grill and just see what happens. But yeah, might as well. It's not going to hurt it. You can't hurt it. What does it do? Get hot. Whatever. Same thing. All right. I think that's going to do for this episode. think you know it's over when we start talking about grilling. Yeah. Drinking and grilling. All right. Don't log off the episode. We we covered about all the Michigan things you could think of sports related. whole lot of nothing. ⁓ Hey, let's hope the Pistons come out on top and next week we are talking Nick's Pistons. So hopefully. hopefully man when the play nba playoffs and will finally get into our list season of what we're looking forward to in college football season plus will be doing our annual college football fancy chat GBT Sims. So ⁓ yeah. Totally. Yeah dude. It's about that time. It's about the dead zone. So heisman list top 20 coaching list. Everything where Signe. He should be number one. Yeah. Someone might have a problem with that. I would. Where did we put him last year. Like way low. Yeah. I wasn't on the up. I had no say. Yeah you were hired by then. No I was. I missed that week. And I was just going be like, James Franklin's got to be top five. Oh, yeah. Dude, that is crazy. He's got to be top four. Troy Moore should have been like five. mill. Dude, just look at like half the comments of the stuff that we posted about that list were just grilling us. I think we should do a video where we react to a list that we made. Oh, hell yeah. We got to do one with maybe we could do like the big 10, the big 10 predictions. Because I know all four of us did it. Yeah. Oh, god. Not only would it be funny just to watch an old ep. But just see how bad, see how far off we were. You see here, this is what we called delusional. We did do it last year before we had you on. We did something like that. And it was fun. But we were like, god, we were we were there. ⁓ And we were watching, I think I said like Rico Flores, like Heisman. Oh, that's right. And we got flame. That was a meme. That was a meme. And everybody's like, why is Rico Flores doing here? I'm like, it was a meme, bro. Chill. Well, it's really hard because we take the preseason top 25. Right. Obviously, a bunch of these teams aren't going to be in here. Well, dude, yeah, I remember re-ranking them because, dude, there were so many teams where I was like, yeah, why is Boise here? What were they at? We were at Oklahoma State. in top five. Yeah, because one game that whole season. What was the running back? Ali Gordon. Ali Gordon. We him win in the Heisman too or something like that. Heisman drinking and driving. And then he started to suck. The whole team started to suck. Their last game against Colorado, they got 56 put on their head. Yeah. 56-13. Dungy's gone too. Mike Dundee. Mike Dundee's got a new generation of Oklahoma State football. So maybe they'll end up in the top five again. Never know. Cade Cunningham's alma mater. Yep. Yep. It is. Never know. He's the only guy I know from Oklahoma State. I Cade Cunningham looks like he so much weight from his college. Yeah. Not like bad weight. Still a hooper though. Yeah. He came back. Because he's depressed in Detroit. Well, yeah, dude.
