- WEBVTT 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.460 What's up, friends? Welcome to another episode 00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:16.359 of Tables, Tailgates, and Top Loaders. So happy 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.199 to have you all aboard for this episode. I'm 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.460 your host, TB. Thank you very much for stopping 00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:24.039 in and checking out the three Ts. We have so 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:26.500 much to get to. So much in the world of the Buffalo 00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:30.440 Bills. So much in the world of the WWE. But I 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.549 want to start... with the card enthusiast. You 00:00:33.549 --> 00:00:36.429 guys usually don't get first crack at this lately, 00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:38.850 and I wanted to right that wrong today because 00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:41.850 you got a big week in front of you because Bowman 00:00:41.850 --> 00:00:45.270 Chrome is releasing tomorrow. That's right, Tuesday, 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:48.950 the 23rd, Bowman Chrome, one of the biggest releases 00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:52.310 of the year, is set to debut, and this looks 00:00:52.310 --> 00:00:56.390 to be a pretty, pretty good product. So what 00:00:56.390 --> 00:00:59.500 are we getting ourselves into? Right now, A hobby 00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:02.359 box is looking around three to 350, depending 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.900 on the secondary markets. We shall see if any 00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:07.799 are available for slightly cheaper than that 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.760 when the product actually goes live tomorrow 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.920 on Tops and maybe Fanatics. But you're looking 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:16.879 at three, right around 300, $350. You get 60 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.099 cards, two autographs per card. I'm sorry, two 00:01:20.099 --> 00:01:23.200 autographs per box. So what is this set? Now, 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.099 historically, this set is made up of a mix between 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.560 Vets, rookies, and prospects. The prospects are 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:32.780 the thing. You're going prospect hunting. That's 00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:34.680 what this product is about. So you have a 100 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.420 -card base set. Those 100 cards are made up of 00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:40.140 rookies and veterans. Then you also have another 00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:43.359 100 card, which is your Chrome Prospects. Now, 00:01:43.379 --> 00:01:45.659 this is where those very special first Bowman 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:48.620 cards are going to come into play. And a first 00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:51.980 Bowman Chrome Prospect is the key. So these are 00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:55.000 what collectors come back to when the player 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.359 starts to really turn it on. This is where the 00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.599 prospecting, you're basically prospecting for 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.579 gold. That's what this is. This is a long -term 00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:04.019 play, long -term lotto ticket. And these are 00:02:04.019 --> 00:02:06.609 really cool. I really got it. of Bowman this 00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:09.289 year. And this is the chrome variation of the 00:02:09.289 --> 00:02:11.990 whole thing. So I like this product. I wish it 00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:14.629 weren't so freaking expensive. but it's a really 00:02:14.629 --> 00:02:17.550 cool product. Now on that initial 100 card base 00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:21.629 set list, you're looking at 16 parallels, 16 00:02:21.629 --> 00:02:24.530 parallels per base card. And that's a lot, that's 00:02:24.530 --> 00:02:28.169 a lot. And you also have a red rookie card refractor. 00:02:28.169 --> 00:02:31.449 So I talked about this a long time ago when Bowman 00:02:31.449 --> 00:02:33.150 first came out, but they're doing the same thing 00:02:33.150 --> 00:02:35.849 with the Chrome release. I think there's 40 different 00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.840 rookies who have a... red RC label designated 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.439 to their card. Now what this is, it's very similar 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.580 to the Tops buyback program that they ran with 00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:48.680 WWE, that they ran with the Tops Chrome Baseball. 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:51.659 Should this player go on to win certain accolades, 00:02:51.659 --> 00:02:54.240 certain awards during their career, you can... 00:02:54.729 --> 00:02:57.430 essentially allow tops or your hobby shops to 00:02:57.430 --> 00:02:59.669 buy back this card for a certain amount of dollars 00:02:59.669 --> 00:03:03.509 or you can elect to keep the card and the dollar 00:03:03.509 --> 00:03:06.909 amount goes up if this player then continues 00:03:06.909 --> 00:03:09.810 to reach new heights and new accomplishments 00:03:09.810 --> 00:03:13.599 during their career it goes all the way to Hall 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.680 of Fame status. So if you want to make a 20, 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.939 30 year investment on a card with an RC, a red 00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:23.340 RC label on it, you can make some bank. But the 00:03:23.340 --> 00:03:25.919 odds of that happening are pretty slim to none. 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.280 But anyway, I do think it's cool. I like the 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.639 whole buyback program. I wish they would do more 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.979 things like this because I think it would really 00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:37.039 engage your community more. And anytime you can 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.960 give something back to the actual consumer, I 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.159 think it can't be a bad idea. So like I said, 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.639 16 parallels plus this red RC refractor for the 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.180 base set. And then when you go to the other set, 00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.080 the 100 chrome prospect set, this is where things 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.500 get crazy because I counted folks. There are 00:03:54.500 --> 00:03:59.159 38 prospect parallels in this set. 38 parallels 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.439 per chrome prospect card. Holy crap. Holy crap. 00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:05.939 That's a lot. Now I do like some of these. Some 00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:08.280 of the reptilian variations are really sweet. 00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:10.900 There's just a lot of cool cards, but if anyone's 00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:13.569 trying to. put what they call chasing the rainbow, 00:04:13.689 --> 00:04:15.729 collect the whole set. If you have a certain 00:04:15.729 --> 00:04:17.889 player that you want to collect and you're trying 00:04:17.889 --> 00:04:20.589 to get every single variation of this player, 00:04:20.750 --> 00:04:23.189 it's next to impossible. I mean, it would take 00:04:23.189 --> 00:04:24.829 you forever. Plus the amount of money you're 00:04:24.829 --> 00:04:27.329 going to spend is kind of ridiculous, but tops, 00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:29.290 can we chill? Cause this is becoming a thing. 00:04:29.410 --> 00:04:31.629 Like they are going crazy with the parallels 00:04:31.629 --> 00:04:34.310 and the variations and I get it. I like it. I 00:04:34.310 --> 00:04:36.569 mean, 20 years ago, there weren't hardly any 00:04:36.569 --> 00:04:39.290 of this stuff, but now it's, it's insane. It's 00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.829 absolutely insane. You know, it's frustrating 00:04:41.829 --> 00:04:46.529 when the actual hobby box is only 60 cards. It's 00:04:46.529 --> 00:04:49.870 just, it's crazy. But anyway, as far as the inserts 00:04:49.870 --> 00:04:52.350 go, a lot of cool inserts. They added a couple 00:04:52.350 --> 00:04:56.470 new ones this year. They have ones called Meteoric 00:04:56.470 --> 00:04:58.889 Rise. They have one called a Max Volume. I really 00:04:58.889 --> 00:05:01.339 like the way the... meteoric rise card looks 00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:03.279 that looks pretty fire and then some of the old 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.339 standbys are back one of my all -time favorite 00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:08.439 looking cards is called etched in glass insert 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.079 now these are very rare very limited but it looks 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.199 like the player is part of a stained glass window 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.560 almost like you would see in the old churches 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.980 i love the look of these cards i think they look 00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:21.699 fire if you can get a good one and gem it up 00:05:21.699 --> 00:05:24.779 throw it in a uh you know go send that off to 00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:26.740 get graded and that comes back at 10 you're looking 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:29.689 at a pretty good long -term investment plus i'm 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:32.250 a big sgc guy i love the way the tuxedo look 00:05:32.250 --> 00:05:35.329 comes back once it's graded you slap a 10 sgc 00:05:35.329 --> 00:05:37.430 on that i know they got bought out by psa that's 00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:39.490 a whole nother story but i love the way that 00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:42.389 looks so you put an etched in glass card in an 00:05:42.389 --> 00:05:45.430 sgc encasement i think that would look absolute 00:05:45.430 --> 00:05:48.329 fire but what am i absolutely looking forward 00:05:48.329 --> 00:05:51.069 to the most out of this product you guessed it 00:05:51.069 --> 00:05:57.170 bowman gpk i can't wait for this they are teaming 00:05:57.170 --> 00:05:59.550 up with Garbage Pail Kids yet again, and they 00:05:59.550 --> 00:06:04.350 have a 50 -card GPK set list in this series. 00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:07.430 And frankly, it's awesome. And here's the thing. 00:06:07.509 --> 00:06:10.750 I've heard videos of people reviewing and previewing 00:06:10.750 --> 00:06:13.649 this product. You get these old salty guys who've 00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:16.149 been in the hobby for years, and they're sitting 00:06:16.149 --> 00:06:19.470 around talking and complaining about GPK being 00:06:19.470 --> 00:06:21.509 in this product. Oh, I don't like it. It's stupid 00:06:21.509 --> 00:06:23.350 and blah, blah. I'm like, okay, maybe it's not 00:06:23.350 --> 00:06:25.709 for you, but... I think these are awesome. These 00:06:25.709 --> 00:06:27.990 are some of my favorite cars to collect because 00:06:27.990 --> 00:06:30.189 it combines two of my favorite things, baseball 00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:34.310 and GBK, and it's fun. So take a breath. Come 00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:36.509 down off your freaking high horse and relax a 00:06:36.509 --> 00:06:38.490 little bit. You don't have to like these, but 00:06:38.490 --> 00:06:40.490 I think they're freaking cool. I mean, you get 00:06:40.490 --> 00:06:43.250 some really, really cool looking stuff in here. 00:06:43.329 --> 00:06:46.050 So if you haven't had a chance, go pull up some 00:06:46.050 --> 00:06:49.910 pictures of some GPK. Bowman Chrome cards. I 00:06:49.910 --> 00:06:51.610 mean, you've got Hall of Famers in here. Derek 00:06:51.610 --> 00:06:54.310 Jeter has a card in here. Ball Skeens has a card. 00:06:54.370 --> 00:06:56.370 Plus, you get some of the new up -and -comers. 00:06:56.470 --> 00:06:59.250 But Ichiro has a card. Albert Pujols. You've 00:06:59.250 --> 00:07:02.089 got Vlad Jr. I love the Dylan Cruz one. That 00:07:02.089 --> 00:07:05.129 one's cool as hell. James Wood. Those two, if 00:07:05.129 --> 00:07:07.910 I can get Cruz and James Wood on the GPK variations, 00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:10.959 I would be set. I would be set. I would want 00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:13.319 to see how much those two cards alone are going 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.879 to cost me. And we shall see what happens. But 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.480 yeah, I love it. What's not to love? And then 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.180 one other insert I saw. This is really cool. 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.420 Extremely, extremely rare. But I think this is 00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:27.139 going to be an awesome grab. Bowman is throwing 00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:30.660 in what they are calling a variety pack into 00:07:30.660 --> 00:07:34.339 extremely limited number of hobby boxes. This 00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:37.279 is a pack that contains four cards. They are 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.000 all Chrome Prospect cards. They are all, according 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.480 to what I found, they are all numbered to five. 00:07:42.579 --> 00:07:46.329 And you get four. You get a gumball prospect, 00:07:46.629 --> 00:07:49.769 a sunflower seed prospect, a peanuts prospect, 00:07:50.149 --> 00:07:52.970 and a popcorn prospect. And like I said, these 00:07:52.970 --> 00:07:55.029 are all first Bowmans and they're all numbered 00:07:55.029 --> 00:07:57.810 to five. So if you grab this, I'm assuming based 00:07:57.810 --> 00:08:00.149 on these numbers, they've only put five of these 00:08:00.149 --> 00:08:02.629 insert packs into hobby boxes. So if you can 00:08:02.629 --> 00:08:05.350 grab one of these, you are making bank. Let me 00:08:05.350 --> 00:08:07.009 tell you, I haven't seen any pictures of what 00:08:07.009 --> 00:08:09.029 these look like, but I can't wait to check them 00:08:09.029 --> 00:08:11.189 out. I think it's going to be super cool. I'm 00:08:11.189 --> 00:08:13.519 super excited for Bowman Chrome. I know. The 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.800 hobby boxes are going to be pretty pricey, but 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.660 if you're not feeling like taking a leap into 00:08:18.660 --> 00:08:21.740 a hobby box around a $300 investment, they also 00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:25.259 have a mega box variation. Now these run around 00:08:25.259 --> 00:08:28.519 $50. Historically, these haven't been the greatest, 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.500 but you do get some different variations. These 00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:36.259 are holding 35 total cards. It's possible to 00:08:36.259 --> 00:08:39.620 pull an autograph out of megas, but it's extremely 00:08:39.620 --> 00:08:43.250 rare. And yeah. Who knows what's going to happen, 00:08:43.269 --> 00:08:45.840 but... I do like the product. I think it's pretty 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.480 cool. I can't wait to see some of the breaks 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.639 that are happening tomorrow. And maybe I'll get 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.620 my hands on some of these, but we shall see. 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.940 If y 'all can check out those GPK cards though, 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.059 that's where it's at. But what else is coming 00:08:59.059 --> 00:09:01.820 out this week? We have another big release. It 00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:04.179 is Disney Chrome. That's right, folks. Disney 00:09:04.179 --> 00:09:07.120 Chrome is about to hit the streets, if you will. 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.539 If I'm a betting man, I think this is going to 00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:12.460 be a huge product. And it's going to do really 00:09:12.460 --> 00:09:15.700 well. There's all kinds of variations. But Disney 00:09:15.700 --> 00:09:18.100 Chrome, it is going to feature Disney and Pixar 00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:21.759 characters on a 200 -card base set. And this 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.399 is going to include not only your... animated, 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.259 your cartoon characters, but also live action 00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:30.679 cards for the first time. This comes out on the 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.340 24th. There's going to be a ton of inserts. I 00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.879 mean, a ton of inserts.

Once again, there are a ton of parallels, 00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:15.269 a ton of refractors. It's going to be very hard, 00:10:15.350 --> 00:10:17.450 once again, to put together that rainbow, if 00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:19.830 you will.

I really hope this is affordable 00:11:33.029 --> 00:11:34.889 and people can actually get their hands on it. 00:11:34.929 --> 00:11:37.649 But just like every other product, I have my 00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:40.590 doubts. I have my doubts. Right now, these products 00:11:40.590 --> 00:11:46.110 are listing for roughly $60 to $70 for a quote 00:11:46.110 --> 00:11:49.529 -unquote value box. I mean, yikes, yikes. And 00:11:49.529 --> 00:11:52.470 on the secondary market for a hobby, Prices are 00:11:52.470 --> 00:11:55.710 already up to $700. So this is exactly what I'm 00:11:55.710 --> 00:11:58.330 afraid of. We shall see if any more actually 00:11:58.330 --> 00:12:01.230 become available direct through Tops on, what 00:12:01.230 --> 00:12:05.450 is that, Wednesday? I hope people can actually 00:12:05.450 --> 00:12:08.110 get this. And it's not just one breaker after 00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:12.049 another and bots and bots. Just, I mean, it's 00:12:12.049 --> 00:12:15.509 yet again another product that looks really awesome 00:12:15.509 --> 00:12:18.990 and nobody can buy it because it's completely 00:12:18.990 --> 00:12:22.919 priced. out of proportion and the actual consumer, 00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:26.120 Joe Schmo, the guy who's trying to buy a box 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.059 for his kids or whatever, has zero chance. So 00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:33.600 super frustrating, but all in all, two awesome 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.700 products that are being released this week. I 00:12:35.700 --> 00:12:39.100 just wanted to start with that. let you all know 00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:41.620 to be on the lookout for it but we got to dive 00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.799 right into the world of the Buffalo Bills and 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:49.240 review game number three against the Miami Dolphins 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.559 because let me tell you folks it was way freaking 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.240 closer than I had ever thought so Bills Mafia 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.460 I know how I'm feeling how are you feeling after 00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:04.019 that game it was a little a little stressful 00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:07.460 a little stressful i told you um after the jets 00:13:07.460 --> 00:13:10.259 game that i had turned the stress meter off after 00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:12.320 about 12 minutes in the game well the stress 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.899 meter for this one stayed on until what almost 00:13:14.899 --> 00:13:17.240 the very last five minutes of the game it was 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.340 way closer than i thought and i should have expected 00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:22.000 this i should have expected this because A lot 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.659 was on the line here, right? You had the Dolphins 00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:26.200 coming into town, coming into Orchard Park at 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.519 0 -2. They were not playing well. You had all 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:33.039 the rumors of Mike McDaniel being on the hot 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.100 seat for losing his job. So the local papers 00:13:36.100 --> 00:13:39.000 down in Miami, down in South Florida, were not 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.340 too fond of the start of the Dolphins season. 00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:43.179 And there was a lot of pressure on them. So I 00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:45.980 should have expected them to really man up. And 00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:48.159 to their credit, I will give them credit. They 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.000 played really well. A couple things. As I was... 00:13:51.049 --> 00:13:53.169 going through the weekend and really thinking 00:13:53.169 --> 00:13:56.370 about this game, I wondered, how would Josh Allen 00:13:56.370 --> 00:14:00.389 do if he had Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddell as 00:14:00.389 --> 00:14:02.750 his receivers? If he was on the other side of 00:14:02.750 --> 00:14:04.490 the field, let's say we clone Josh Allen, right? 00:14:04.549 --> 00:14:06.070 And Josh Allen is playing on both sides of the 00:14:06.070 --> 00:14:10.409 ball. So you put Josh Allen on that Dolphins 00:14:10.409 --> 00:14:12.190 offense. How many points would they have scored? 00:14:12.330 --> 00:14:15.529 I was actually starting to think about this scenario 00:14:15.529 --> 00:14:18.970 because I think Tua is terrible. Terrible. Now 00:14:18.970 --> 00:14:21.539 they did really great on third down. It was unbelievable. 00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:24.100 Our third down defense was absolutely atrocious. 00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:27.460 Atrocious. But the fact that Tyreek Hill and 00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:31.460 Jalen Waddell were getting open regularly, they 00:14:31.460 --> 00:14:33.600 were torching Trey White, Christian Benford. 00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:36.259 It was bad. But half the time, I felt like Tua 00:14:36.259 --> 00:14:38.940 wasn't making the right read. He wasn't playing 00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:41.080 well at all. He didn't finish with that many 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.470 yards passing. I'm thinking if Josh Allen was 00:14:44.470 --> 00:14:46.450 on the Dolphins, would we have lost this game? 00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:48.769 I think we might have. I think we might have 00:14:48.769 --> 00:14:51.759 because the defense was just... it was just bad 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.639 so anyway let's let's kind of dive into this 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.720 game the opening kickoff i i like to take notes 00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.340 as i go through these games and then kind of 00:14:59.340 --> 00:15:01.059 work my way back through it but the opening kickoff 00:15:01.059 --> 00:15:04.759 special teams y 'all were not good for this game 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.379 not good bad special teams coverage right off 00:15:07.379 --> 00:15:09.980 the jump right off the opening kickoff miami 00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:12.120 gets the ball what were they at the 40 45 yard 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.840 line they march right down the field and it's 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.899 a tutty and they just just carved this up so 00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:21.179 immediately it's 7 -0. 7 -0. And then we finally 00:15:21.179 --> 00:15:24.440 get the ball. There was a pass interference with 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:27.700 Keon. That helped us out. That was a sick throw 00:15:27.700 --> 00:15:31.700 by Josh and initiated a contact error. And then 00:15:31.700 --> 00:15:35.120 our offensive line took over. And the O -line, 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.980 the lanes that they were creating for James Cook 00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:41.440 were sick. You add two Dalton Kincaid catches, 00:15:41.539 --> 00:15:43.700 and then next thing you know, it's tied up. We 00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:46.549 fought back immediately. Tie the game. Then we 00:15:46.549 --> 00:15:49.370 get the tutty to Jackson Hawes where Josh rolls 00:15:49.370 --> 00:15:51.690 out. It seems like the play is breaking down 00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:55.230 and he does the underhand flick thing that has 00:15:55.230 --> 00:15:58.570 become so prevalent to his repertoire. He flicks 00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:00.529 it to Jackson Hawes. Everybody goes absolutely 00:16:00.529 --> 00:16:03.929 insane. If you had bet, if you had taken an anytime 00:16:03.929 --> 00:16:06.610 tutty bet for Jackson Hawes, even if you dropped 00:16:06.610 --> 00:16:09.000 like. a dollar or two on that you would have 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:11.860 made bank because that's the one moving forward 00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:14.080 i told my i said this to my daughter just play 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.039 a dollar on that line every single game the jackson 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.960 hawes anytime tutty and you're gonna you're gonna 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.259 come out ahead at the end of the year so a couple 00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:23.929 other things Special teams, like all night, I 00:16:23.929 --> 00:16:25.429 thought they were terrible. There was a 10 -point 00:16:25.429 --> 00:16:28.409 swing in which when Prater misses the field goal 00:16:28.409 --> 00:16:30.889 and then the Dolphins go right down the field 00:16:30.889 --> 00:16:33.610 and get the tutty there, that's a 10 -point swing. 00:16:33.750 --> 00:16:35.389 That was the turning point in the game to me. 00:16:35.450 --> 00:16:37.370 Because if we had made that field goal, what 00:16:37.370 --> 00:16:40.889 was it, 37 yards? Something completely manageable. 00:16:41.090 --> 00:16:44.490 And he shanked this one so crazy. I'm like, oh 00:16:44.490 --> 00:16:47.929 boy, I had just gotten done in the pregame, the 00:16:47.929 --> 00:16:50.110 preview podcast, talking about how we might have 00:16:50.110 --> 00:16:52.740 a kicker controversy. What does he do? He literally 00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:56.639 goes and sends it to the next town over. I'm 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.379 like, oh, my God, that was brutal. So you want 00:17:00.379 --> 00:17:02.620 to talk kicking controversy. I'm not sure we're 00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:05.079 going to have one if he keeps shank a pot of 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.460 missing it all over the field and his kickoffs. 00:17:07.779 --> 00:17:10.539 I told you I read that article about how they 00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:12.779 talked about how awesome his kickoffs were, and 00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:15.019 it was great. His kickoffs were terrible. The 00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:17.900 special teams in this game were. All over the 00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:20.259 place. Not good. Not good at all. A lot of things 00:17:20.259 --> 00:17:21.980 we could talk about. I felt like there was a 00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:24.660 stretch of this game where the offense just went 00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:27.099 into cruise control. They came out. They dominated 00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:29.039 for the first couple series, just like always. 00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:32.539 And then they... drop it down into like first 00:17:32.539 --> 00:17:35.079 or second gear and they just coast and they don't 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:38.200 try until they absolutely have to and and this 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:40.859 time i mean yes we came out with the dub which 00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:43.599 it's really it's hard to not want to celebrate 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.880 but you see these things and this game should 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.339 have been over in the third quarter like i said 00:17:48.339 --> 00:17:50.660 that 10 point swing we keep our pedal on the 00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:53.339 on the gas our foot on the pedal rather and just 00:17:53.339 --> 00:17:58.019 go for 40 i it's it's so frustrating to see that 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.279 We're not operating on all cylinders. We're still 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:03.759 making very conservative play calls. Joe Brady, 00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:06.180 I'm still not sure what you're doing. Maybe it 00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:08.160 was the short week. Maybe there was a lot going 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.480 on. I knew we had some defensive issues with 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.700 people being out with Milano and Oliver. But 00:18:15.700 --> 00:18:17.839 I'm just like, can we not put these teams away? 00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:20.220 There's no reason for the Dolphins to be in this 00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:22.680 game. Had we made that field goal? I think the 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:24.759 game would have gone drastically different. I 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:27.859 think we go on and we win by like 17, 20 points. 00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:31.160 And this is to say that it sounds like I'm complaining 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.460 when we still win by, what, 10? But this game 00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:37.759 did not have to be this close. And Josh Palmer, 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.220 there's another one. Josh Palmer gets his one 00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:43.579 and only catch with, what, four minutes left 00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:45.740 in the game. I felt like they didn't take any 00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:49.259 shots downfield. Now, having heard some analysis 00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:53.269 from... You know, Bill's podcasters and reviewing 00:18:53.269 --> 00:18:55.690 the game tape, they were saying that the Dolphins 00:18:55.690 --> 00:18:57.849 were playing like a too high shell and really 00:18:57.849 --> 00:19:01.130 stressing and forcing Josh to keep everything 00:19:01.130 --> 00:19:03.150 underneath. So there were times he was looking 00:19:03.150 --> 00:19:05.230 to go deep, but he couldn't. So he just had to 00:19:05.230 --> 00:19:08.150 keep checking it down, which kind of sucks because, 00:19:08.210 --> 00:19:10.769 what, three, four years ago, we'd see him air 00:19:10.769 --> 00:19:13.430 it out. And I know that would leave the turnovers. 00:19:13.470 --> 00:19:17.369 And I know how much Coach McClapy is adamant 00:19:17.369 --> 00:19:21.819 about limiting turnovers. It's great. It's just, 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.720 okay, but let's just try it. Maybe once in a 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.140 while, take a shot, like throw it 60 yards. If 00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:29.440 it gets picked, it gets picked. Who cares? But 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.980 we're so concerned with him throwing picks and 00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:34.559 whatnot. It's just, I feel like we don't take 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.039 any shots. They had that awesome throw to key 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.240 on right away that drew the PI. And then a couple, 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.839 a couple other, it was mostly yards after catch. 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.539 There were no passes further than, what, 10 yards? 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:50.480 I think I read a stat that him and that Allen 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.380 and Tua combined had like the lowest air yardage 00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:56.440 per pass attempt in NFL history. And it showed. 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.799 It was a boring game. Most of the passes were 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:02.059 right near the line of scrimmage. And had Shakir 00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:04.869 not broken that one out for a tutty. I don't 00:20:04.869 --> 00:20:06.809 know. I don't know what we would be talking about, 00:20:06.910 --> 00:20:09.390 but we get the win. We get the win. Now we get 00:20:09.390 --> 00:20:12.289 an extra few days to rest and to recuperate. 00:20:12.289 --> 00:20:14.930 Hopefully Milano and Oliver are back. Not that 00:20:14.930 --> 00:20:16.589 we're going to need them for the Saints. I think 00:20:16.589 --> 00:20:19.490 the Saints is an absolute dumpster fire, but 00:20:19.490 --> 00:20:22.490 we'll dive into that later on in the week. James 00:20:22.490 --> 00:20:24.990 Cook. Can we talk about James Cook for a minute? 00:20:25.150 --> 00:20:27.930 Because we all sat here and I sat here on numerous 00:20:27.930 --> 00:20:29.809 podcasts, breaking down how are we going to pay 00:20:29.809 --> 00:20:31.470 him and what's he worth? And we went back and 00:20:31.470 --> 00:20:33.490 forth on that and the crowdsource tag and all 00:20:33.490 --> 00:20:35.589 kinds of interesting ways that we could shell 00:20:35.589 --> 00:20:39.269 out the money. oh my god James Cook is awesome 00:20:39.269 --> 00:20:41.990 he's awesome I love the patience he runs with 00:20:41.990 --> 00:20:44.650 and then for him to contort himself through some 00:20:44.650 --> 00:20:46.930 of these offensive line holes and just the next 00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:49.849 thing you know it's 10 15 20 yards and you actually 00:20:49.849 --> 00:20:54.430 see him gaining steam had it not be for a defender 00:20:54.430 --> 00:20:57.589 getting a hand on a foot or a knee or slightly 00:20:57.589 --> 00:21:00.990 you know trying to wrap him up he'd be gone. 00:21:01.069 --> 00:21:04.430 He could have broken two, three, four, 40 to 00:21:04.430 --> 00:21:07.390 50 yard runs for tutties in this game. And maybe 00:21:07.390 --> 00:21:09.470 that's what Joe Brady is hoping for, that these 00:21:09.470 --> 00:21:13.369 runs are going to break free and that our offense 00:21:13.369 --> 00:21:16.089 is going to be nothing but James Cook. Because 00:21:16.089 --> 00:21:18.289 so far, that's literally what it's been outside 00:21:18.289 --> 00:21:22.809 of the fourth quarter of the opener against Baltimore. 00:21:22.950 --> 00:21:26.930 It's been the James Cook show. And we all got 00:21:26.930 --> 00:21:30.369 upset because he got a new deal and... Is anyone 00:21:30.369 --> 00:21:32.630 out there going to tell me that he's not worth 00:21:32.630 --> 00:21:35.210 what we're paying him? In fact, you could argue 00:21:35.210 --> 00:21:38.670 that he's underpaid, and you put him and his 00:21:38.670 --> 00:21:41.009 money against what these other top guys are getting. 00:21:41.170 --> 00:21:43.130 I'm not saying he's Derrick Henry or Saquon, 00:21:43.230 --> 00:21:45.569 but how much further down the list do we want 00:21:45.569 --> 00:21:48.109 to go before we get to James Cook and the value 00:21:48.109 --> 00:21:50.509 he brings to the Buffalo Bills? You pair him 00:21:50.509 --> 00:21:52.170 with this offensive line, and this is exactly 00:21:52.170 --> 00:21:54.650 what I talked about before. You can't just put... 00:21:54.829 --> 00:21:57.430 Ray Davis, Ty Johnson behind them. Where is Ray 00:21:57.430 --> 00:21:59.869 Davis? Is he even on the field? His snap count 00:21:59.869 --> 00:22:02.450 is next to nothing. He's not touching the ball. 00:22:02.650 --> 00:22:05.289 Ty Johnson only comes in to give Cook a breather, 00:22:05.349 --> 00:22:09.509 but I think Cook is on the field for 60 % of 00:22:09.509 --> 00:22:12.130 the plays, the offensive plays, which is crazy 00:22:12.130 --> 00:22:13.829 because last year, I think that percentage was 00:22:13.829 --> 00:22:17.630 right around 45 to 48%. So you can see an uptick 00:22:17.630 --> 00:22:20.529 in his offensive productivity and he is producing. 00:22:21.099 --> 00:22:23.299 So anyone out there that wants to say this James 00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:27.220 Cook signing was not good is crazy. You are not 00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:30.220 watching. And he could have easily had two other 00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:33.259 touchdowns in that game on Thursday night. Awesome. 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:36.779 He's so fun to watch. He's so fun to watch. I 00:22:36.779 --> 00:22:40.609 would just hope that the... aerial attack the 00:22:40.609 --> 00:22:44.109 the passing attack can coincide with how good 00:22:44.109 --> 00:22:46.529 james cook is it's crazy it's crazy to think 00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:49.089 that we could have a top three offense in the 00:22:49.089 --> 00:22:51.529 league we put up 30 points against the dolphins 00:22:51.529 --> 00:22:54.450 and it seemed like a struggle right it seemed 00:22:54.450 --> 00:22:56.509 like a struggle and the offense took a quarter 00:22:56.509 --> 00:22:58.970 and a half off of not doing anything and we left 00:22:58.970 --> 00:23:01.069 points on the board so it's hard to get upset 00:23:01.069 --> 00:23:03.650 but you realize that the potential is there for 00:23:03.650 --> 00:23:06.990 this team to just absolutely dog walk their opponents 00:23:06.990 --> 00:23:09.170 that's what i want to see I don't want to see 00:23:09.170 --> 00:23:12.910 these games be close. I want to relax and go 00:23:12.910 --> 00:23:15.069 into chill mode in the third and fourth quarters. 00:23:15.190 --> 00:23:17.569 I don't want these games against these inferior 00:23:17.569 --> 00:23:20.809 teams to be close at all. But like I said, tip 00:23:20.809 --> 00:23:24.210 of my cap to the Dolphins. They played really 00:23:24.210 --> 00:23:26.990 hard. Defensively, though, we have significant 00:23:26.990 --> 00:23:29.829 problems. The defensive line in this game was 00:23:29.829 --> 00:23:34.230 so bad. I know Bosa came close to getting some 00:23:34.230 --> 00:23:38.049 sacks on Chua, but... Close is not going to cut 00:23:38.049 --> 00:23:41.690 it. And the rest of the line, where is Russo? 00:23:41.690 --> 00:23:43.930 Does anyone know? Is he on this team? Because 00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:46.430 I haven't heard his name called. I haven't seen 00:23:46.430 --> 00:23:48.849 him do anything. The rest of the interior on 00:23:48.849 --> 00:23:51.410 this line just got gashed. They got moved off 00:23:51.410 --> 00:23:54.829 the line, off the ball so easily. They got manhandled. 00:23:54.869 --> 00:23:58.069 It was embarrassing. And so immediately, you're 00:23:58.069 --> 00:23:59.789 putting your linebackers in terrible positions. 00:23:59.890 --> 00:24:04.430 And if your line can't hold, then... Your cornerbacks 00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:06.329 have no shot, and this is exactly what happened. 00:24:06.430 --> 00:24:10.170 I felt like Hill and Waddell were able to get 00:24:10.170 --> 00:24:11.809 anywhere they wanted on the field. They were 00:24:11.809 --> 00:24:14.809 throwing everything underneath super quick. Tua 00:24:14.809 --> 00:24:17.269 was not affected at all. He had a couple times 00:24:17.269 --> 00:24:20.630 where he was able to get out of the pocket, which 00:24:20.630 --> 00:24:24.470 is rare for him, and he made the plays. Normally, 00:24:24.509 --> 00:24:26.650 this is not his game, but he was able to make 00:24:26.650 --> 00:24:29.430 those plays. He was able to get the ball to his 00:24:29.430 --> 00:24:32.390 playmakers, and the third down defense was terrible. 00:24:33.009 --> 00:24:34.910 Offensively, the Dolphins were not good on first 00:24:34.910 --> 00:24:36.710 and second down, but third down, they were like 00:24:36.710 --> 00:24:39.400 the best team in the league, which was... Absolutely 00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:41.680 insane to me. We could not get off the field. 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:43.420 I don't want to keep belaboring it. We still 00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:45.440 won the game, but there's a lot to clean up. 00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:47.799 There's a lot to fix. Like I said at the beginning 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:49.619 when we kind of looked at the whole season, is 00:24:49.619 --> 00:24:53.480 this hold on for six weeks and then your defense 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.920 will be totally revamped? I really am starting 00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:58.299 to believe that that's the case. When we get 00:24:58.299 --> 00:25:01.039 Michael Hoyt back and Larry Okunjobe and we get, 00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:03.019 I'm not saying Maxwell Harrison is the answer 00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:04.960 because he's still a rookie and there's a lot 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.680 to learn, but we have no speed in the secondary. 00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:10.559 Zero. And that's exactly what we drafted him 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:13.039 for. I want to at least see what it looks like. 00:25:13.059 --> 00:25:16.240 Because to me, the answers on defense right now 00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.579 are not there. And it's super frustrating. But 00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:21.240 anyway, like I said, we get the big dub. Super 00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:24.119 excited. We shall see what happens against the 00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:27.140 Saints. I don't expect them to put up that much 00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:29.859 of a fight. But I don't want to underestimate 00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:33.079 them either. I will dive into what they have 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:35.519 done. on the season, which has been nothing. 00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:38.599 And we will review that game as we go through 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:40.940 the week. But now it's time to turn our attention 00:25:40.940 --> 00:25:45.160 to the squared circle. WWE wrestling marks. How 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.660 are we feeling after the very first PLE on the 00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:53.579 new ESPN app? It was WrestlePalooza coming at 00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:57.359 you live from Indianapolis. It was Saturday night 00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:01.960 at 7 p .m. Did you all get a chance to... be 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:04.680 thoroughly entertained by this product. I'm really 00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:07.759 interested to see what people are saying coming 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.460 out of WrestlePalooza because it was something. 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.119 It was something. So first of all, let's talk 00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:16.119 about the app. I signed up. Yeah, it was 30 bucks, 00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:21.130 right? Because so far only... Very certain cable 00:26:21.130 --> 00:26:25.109 providers are linking with the ESPN app. And 00:26:25.109 --> 00:26:27.450 I know that they are still working on this. Allegedly, 00:26:27.490 --> 00:26:31.690 I'm an Xfinity customer. So allegedly, ESPN is 00:26:31.690 --> 00:26:33.630 supposed to be partnering with these companies 00:26:33.630 --> 00:26:35.690 down the line. And you're supposed to be able 00:26:35.690 --> 00:26:39.349 to use and sign in through your... cable provider 00:26:39.349 --> 00:26:41.329 and have access. I don't know if that's going 00:26:41.329 --> 00:26:43.269 to be true or not. I know a lot of people were 00:26:43.269 --> 00:26:45.650 absolutely furious that they could not get this 00:26:45.650 --> 00:26:48.490 app through their cable provider. It ended up 00:26:48.490 --> 00:26:51.190 costing me 30 bucks. So it was a bundle package. 00:26:51.329 --> 00:26:54.009 You get Disney Plus, you get Hulu Plus, you get 00:26:54.009 --> 00:26:55.970 ESPN Unlimited or whatever the hell it's called. 00:26:56.109 --> 00:26:59.490 And it cost me $30 a month. And this price was 00:26:59.490 --> 00:27:02.750 locked in for 12 months. It was super easy to 00:27:02.750 --> 00:27:05.150 sign up. And I'm thinking, should I be mad about 00:27:05.150 --> 00:27:07.930 this? Because I'm seeing how upset people were. 00:27:08.150 --> 00:27:10.970 Well, it's like this. We were already having 00:27:10.970 --> 00:27:14.569 to pay for Peacock, which was what? 16, 17, 20 00:27:14.569 --> 00:27:17.390 bucks a month. And then I look historically at 00:27:17.390 --> 00:27:19.670 where we've come in the history of pay -per -views. 00:27:19.829 --> 00:27:23.609 I remember when I was in college, so late 90s. 00:27:24.139 --> 00:27:27.579 97, 98, 99 -ish, we would all get together, go 00:27:27.579 --> 00:27:31.160 to somebody's house and all shell in five bucks 00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:33.839 or so, join our funds together, get some food 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:35.319 and order the pay -per -view. And back then it 00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:37.680 was $30 a month. So back then, when that was 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.299 30 years ago, we're paying $30 a month. And then 00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:43.359 it progressively got more and more. Then it went 00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.819 to 35, then it went to 40, then it went to 50. 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.940 And I think at some point your WrestleManias 00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:54.259 were $60 a month. So I lived through, The history 00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:57.619 of paying for these shows. That's why it's called 00:27:57.619 --> 00:28:00.500 pay -per -view, right? And now I feel like, as 00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:03.059 fans, we feel like this sense of entitlement. 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.640 We want everything for free. Well, nothing's 00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.779 free. Nothing's free. And I get it. I'm not happy 00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:12.019 about it either. But I'm trying to be objective 00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:16.839 about this. And so, okay, well, it's $30 a month. 00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:18.539 But what am I actually getting? Let's look at 00:28:18.539 --> 00:28:21.180 the product. So, yes, I signed up. It was a seamless, 00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:24.279 easy signup, no problem at all. The show starts, 00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:26.420 there's no lagging, there's no nothing. It was 00:28:26.420 --> 00:28:28.900 super simple, literally point and click, right? 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:32.079 So, so far, so good. The show starts and I loved 00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.059 the intro video they play at the start because 00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:38.099 it shows kind of the history of ESPN with the 00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:40.880 WWE, the WWF. It shows a lot of classic clips. 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:43.700 It was brilliant. It was very well done. I loved 00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:46.240 it. The set, first of all, the set, here we go 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:48.730 again. fresh off of clash in paris i thought 00:28:48.730 --> 00:28:50.890 that set was one of the best i'd seen in some 00:28:50.890 --> 00:28:53.309 time and then this is immediately back to we 00:28:53.309 --> 00:28:55.529 got some titantrons up in there and really nothing 00:28:55.529 --> 00:28:58.309 going on so thumbs down for the set that was 00:28:58.309 --> 00:29:00.309 whack what are we doing this is supposed to be 00:29:00.309 --> 00:29:02.029 a palooza right and there's the other thing this 00:29:02.029 --> 00:29:04.309 is called a wrestle palooza and there's only 00:29:04.309 --> 00:29:06.670 five matches on the card apalooza insinuates 00:29:06.670 --> 00:29:09.369 oh we got a multi multi -day festival and we're 00:29:09.369 --> 00:29:12.150 gonna do this all day all night and people are 00:29:12.150 --> 00:29:14.430 gonna be partying in the streets well no this 00:29:14.430 --> 00:29:18.230 is a five match card that lasted what three hours 00:29:18.230 --> 00:29:21.890 so started at seven we were done by 10 10 15 00:29:21.890 --> 00:29:25.309 if if that i i can't remember exactly when but 00:29:25.309 --> 00:29:30.890 so so far so far not so good but And then the 00:29:30.890 --> 00:29:33.329 actual show starts. So the first match, right 00:29:33.329 --> 00:29:36.329 out Jump Street, we get Brock Lesnar versus John 00:29:36.329 --> 00:29:39.069 Cena. Brock Lesnar comes out, and my wife was 00:29:39.069 --> 00:29:43.250 in the kitchen. She was getting something. I 00:29:43.250 --> 00:29:45.470 think she started to make some food or something. 00:29:45.549 --> 00:29:49.029 And Brock Lesnar comes out, and I go, holy crap. 00:29:49.190 --> 00:29:53.049 This guy is insane looking. I can't remember 00:29:53.049 --> 00:29:55.769 him. And maybe it's just, you know, it's been 00:29:55.769 --> 00:29:58.170 a while. But I'm looking at this guy like. If 00:29:58.170 --> 00:30:00.349 you see this dude in a dark alley, you better 00:30:00.349 --> 00:30:04.190 run like hell. This guy was, I've never seen 00:30:04.190 --> 00:30:06.789 him this big. It was just ridiculous. So then 00:30:06.789 --> 00:30:09.390 Cena comes down. I love his intro where it's 00:30:09.390 --> 00:30:11.269 black and white. It just says John Cena and then 00:30:11.269 --> 00:30:13.269 it kicks in the color. I love that. That is. 00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.720 That's so awesome. It sucks that we only got 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:17.640 a few more dates with him, but he comes through 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.900 the curtain. He's got like 30 kids all dressed 00:30:20.900 --> 00:30:24.079 just like him. It's super awesome. They all have 00:30:24.079 --> 00:30:26.039 the towels. They're all doing the can't see me 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:28.400 thing. It's great. It was great. And then he 00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:30.720 runs to the ring and then the actual match starts. 00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:35.480 And holy cow, I had just said to my wife about 00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:38.160 the SummerSlam match. What was it? 10, 12 years 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.960 ago about the beat down that Lesnar. put on Cena 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:44.799 during that SummerSlam match. I told her I had 00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:46.819 never seen anything like it before. Well, buckle 00:30:46.819 --> 00:30:49.640 up, folks, because that's exactly what happened 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.880 on Saturday. It was part two of the SummerSlam 00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.460 beatdown. He absolutely beat the piss out of 00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:58.940 John Cena. I think John Cena got in, what, two, 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:01.460 three moves in the entire match? He got in two 00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:05.380 AAs, goes for a third, and then... lesnar reversed 00:31:05.380 --> 00:31:09.319 it and it was f5 city and he just beat the absolute 00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:12.799 crap out of him one two three matches over then 00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.140 he takes out the ref then he takes out cena again 00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:17.759 and then he leaves and then cena's just like 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:21.880 holy hell thanks indianapolis for coming i left 00:31:21.880 --> 00:31:24.559 it all in the ring uh my blood sweat and tears 00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:27.319 i got my ass kicked and then he goes back through 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.759 the curtain and the craziest thing is the camera 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.779 is zooming to all the children in the audience 00:31:33.930 --> 00:31:37.049 And they are literally in tears having just seen 00:31:37.049 --> 00:31:41.309 their superhero get massacred by this insane 00:31:41.309 --> 00:31:44.670 creature that is Brock Lesnar. And I'm just like, 00:31:44.710 --> 00:31:48.990 this is absolutely insane. I didn't think he 00:31:48.990 --> 00:31:51.910 actually had a chance to win this match. But 00:31:51.910 --> 00:31:55.109 honestly, I had no idea that this was going to 00:31:55.109 --> 00:31:57.349 turn into a beatdown. No clue that this was going 00:31:57.349 --> 00:32:00.240 to turn into a beatdown. That's exactly what 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:03.660 happened. People were enraged, enraged by the 00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:06.640 outcome of this match. And so I'm trying to think 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:09.059 about it. What is the purpose of this? Is this 00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:12.619 going to be the story that plays out for the 00:32:12.619 --> 00:32:15.599 duration? Because he only has, what, two and 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.500 a half months to go? Are we just going to see 00:32:17.500 --> 00:32:20.500 Cena versus Lesnar for the rest of this? Where 00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:23.480 he faces him again at... survivor series or something 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:25.880 i don't know it's definitely gonna leave a bad 00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:27.880 taste in a lot of people's mouth if this is the 00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.539 match that uh they remember during this retirement 00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:34.099 tour i'm not saying he should win every match 00:32:34.099 --> 00:32:38.059 obviously he lost the belt back to cody and whatever 00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:42.410 that was annoying but to just get massacred like 00:32:42.410 --> 00:32:45.349 this it was uh it was definitely not expected 00:32:45.349 --> 00:32:47.150 if you weren't on the edge of your seat after 00:32:47.150 --> 00:32:49.109 that match i don't know what to tell you because 00:32:49.109 --> 00:32:51.809 that was uh eye -opening and so then we move 00:32:51.809 --> 00:32:55.029 on match two we had the usos jimmy and jay versus 00:32:55.029 --> 00:32:57.670 the bron and bron legal team la night was made 00:32:57.670 --> 00:33:00.869 special guest referee so with everything going 00:33:00.869 --> 00:33:04.910 on on your monday night raws leading into this 00:33:04.910 --> 00:33:07.170 and your smack i can't keep up with who's on 00:33:07.170 --> 00:33:10.079 what show anymore so i know they have they have 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:12.720 drugged this story out between the five of them 00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.200 for the longest time. So you knew there was going 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.920 to be some shenanigans, but LA Knights special 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:20.200 guest referee, I got to tell you, early in this 00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:23.000 match, he hits the one, two, three, and he needs 00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:25.799 to work on slapping the mat like a referee because 00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:29.460 if you replay that, there's a pinfall early in 00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:31.279 this match when he actually hits the three count. 00:33:31.950 --> 00:33:35.130 And so then he just stands up and he's like, 00:33:35.170 --> 00:33:37.609 oh, he does the inches thing with his index finger 00:33:37.609 --> 00:33:39.170 and his thumb. And I'm like, nope, that's not 00:33:39.170 --> 00:33:41.849 correct. You actually hit the. the third the 00:33:41.849 --> 00:33:44.950 third slap on the map so on the mat so la night 00:33:44.950 --> 00:33:47.269 light night you gotta get your ref skills in 00:33:47.269 --> 00:33:49.970 order but he eventually lets them set up tables 00:33:49.970 --> 00:33:52.190 and do the chair shots and of course the slim 00:33:52.190 --> 00:33:55.109 gym table is there and we see all kinds of shenanigans 00:33:55.109 --> 00:33:58.609 and just as expected the bronze team the the 00:33:58.609 --> 00:34:01.950 legal team of bronson and bronson end up winning 00:34:01.950 --> 00:34:04.819 and somehow Right at the end of this match, Jay 00:34:04.819 --> 00:34:08.019 cracks his head wide open and he's bleeding all 00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:10.340 over the place. Immediately following the match, 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:13.039 the medical team, the medical staff is there 00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:15.460 and they're wrapping his head in a towel. And 00:34:15.460 --> 00:34:17.920 it's like, okay, I don't know. And he had to 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.460 get helped out. It didn't look that bad. And 00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:22.760 I'm like, why does he need all this help? If 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.949 this was AEW, like they would be. doing another 00:34:25.949 --> 00:34:28.849 swanton off a 30 -foot ladder immediately following 00:34:28.849 --> 00:34:31.469 this, but I digress. Anyway, that match was fine. 00:34:31.590 --> 00:34:33.030 It was fine. It was exactly what I thought it 00:34:33.030 --> 00:34:36.070 was going to be. I didn't want to see the Usos 00:34:36.070 --> 00:34:39.010 win. I was hoping we would get the Gunther return 00:34:39.010 --> 00:34:43.730 and have him choke out LA Knight and take that 00:34:43.730 --> 00:34:46.550 story that I came up with last night on the You 00:34:46.550 --> 00:34:48.869 Got the Book segment of the week, but that didn't 00:34:48.869 --> 00:34:51.309 happen. Clearly, Triple H does not listen to 00:34:51.309 --> 00:34:53.989 the podcast. But anyway, another thought that 00:34:53.989 --> 00:34:57.500 I had. As we worked through this, there were 00:34:57.500 --> 00:35:00.400 no promo packages for the first few matches. 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:03.659 No promo packages. Here's ESPN that takes over 00:35:03.659 --> 00:35:06.039 the PLE programming. You're going to draw in 00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.739 all these new viewers, but you're not showing 00:35:08.739 --> 00:35:11.280 promo packages prior to the matches. These are 00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:13.539 almost more important than the match itself because 00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:15.900 to a casual observer who's not watching Mondays 00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:18.519 and Fridays and... checking results and all kinds 00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:20.500 of stuff. You have no idea what's going on. You 00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:21.960 have no idea why these people are fighting each 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:23.940 other. So you have to put together a promo package 00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:26.079 to give people the backstory. That's what the 00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.739 purpose is of the promo package. And I'm like, 00:35:28.780 --> 00:35:30.699 most people aren't going to sit for a two -hour 00:35:30.699 --> 00:35:33.760 preview show to get up to speed before a three 00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:37.219 -hour wrestling show. So you got to throw a two 00:35:37.219 --> 00:35:39.340 -minute promo package together. And there were 00:35:39.340 --> 00:35:42.590 not any until we got later in the show. But anyway, 00:35:42.750 --> 00:35:45.409 third match of the night, this was my absolute 00:35:45.409 --> 00:35:48.230 favorite. And it's disappointing because I heard 00:35:48.230 --> 00:35:51.389 people or I read reports of people in the audience 00:35:51.389 --> 00:35:53.590 saying this match was awful. And I'm like, are 00:35:53.590 --> 00:35:55.909 you not even paying attention? This was the greatest 00:35:55.909 --> 00:35:58.230 match on the card. Now, I really like the mixed 00:35:58.230 --> 00:35:59.769 tag match, so we'll get to that in a minute. 00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:02.929 But as far as pure wrestling, Io Sky versus Stephanie 00:36:02.929 --> 00:36:06.130 Vakir for the vacated women's title, the vacated 00:36:06.130 --> 00:36:08.250 women's championship, this match was awesome. 00:36:08.780 --> 00:36:11.159 awesome you have two of the best wrestlers on 00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.119 the planet women or not going at it this was 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.880 awesome so anyone saying this match was awful 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:18.900 what what the hell are you watching and please 00:36:18.900 --> 00:36:20.699 don't watch wrestling anymore if you think this 00:36:20.699 --> 00:36:24.139 match is awful because it was great this match 00:36:24.139 --> 00:36:27.820 is great this was the highlighted wrestling match 00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:31.800 of the night so no you didn't get a beat down 00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:34.820 like you did in the cena fiasco that opened the 00:36:34.820 --> 00:36:37.650 show and you didn't get stupid Slim Jim table 00:36:37.650 --> 00:36:39.829 spots you actually got a wrestling match and 00:36:39.829 --> 00:36:41.610 with two of the best wrestlers on the planet 00:36:41.610 --> 00:36:43.829 and they put on a great show I actually jumped 00:36:43.829 --> 00:36:46.429 off the couch when Stephanie Vekir hit her finisher 00:36:46.429 --> 00:36:48.409 which I don't even know what you call it but 00:36:48.409 --> 00:36:51.329 it was like a 720 corkscrew moonsault from the 00:36:51.329 --> 00:36:54.969 top row from the top turnbuckle onto Io Sky laying 00:36:54.969 --> 00:36:57.829 in the the on the mat and she hits the one two 00:36:57.829 --> 00:36:59.829 three and I jumped off the couch I was like I 00:36:59.829 --> 00:37:01.750 can't believe they did it I can't believe it 00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:04.010 I had said this was my prediction of the week 00:37:04.010 --> 00:37:07.739 I thought It was for sure to go to Io Sky just 00:37:07.739 --> 00:37:09.760 because Stephanie Vaquer has only been on the 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.260 roster, what, four months? So insane that they 00:37:13.260 --> 00:37:16.820 decided to strap the rocket to her back, which 00:37:16.820 --> 00:37:19.780 is exactly what they did. And now she is a women's 00:37:19.780 --> 00:37:23.280 champion. Well -deserved. But to both the ladies, 00:37:23.480 --> 00:37:25.579 you all destroyed it. This match was probably 00:37:25.579 --> 00:37:27.920 my favorite of the night. Match number four. 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.599 This match was a lot of fun. I heard a lot of 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.639 people complaining. And I'm just like, why do 00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:36.099 you all watch wrestling if all you do for three 00:37:36.099 --> 00:37:38.500 hours is complain about everything? Have fun. 00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:41.320 Suspend disbelief. Remove yourself from the world 00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.380 for a couple hours and just enjoy it. Do you 00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:46.619 sit there through a movie and complain every 00:37:46.619 --> 00:37:49.019 second of the day when a plot twists or somebody 00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:52.059 says a line or jumps off a... building that you 00:37:52.059 --> 00:37:53.639 don't like do you sit there and complain to the 00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.880 whole movie like how miserable are we as a society 00:37:56.880 --> 00:37:59.039 that we just want to tear every single thing 00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:01.800 apart wrestling is supposed to be fun it's supposed 00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:03.760 to be fun so if you're not having fun turn the 00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:06.340 freaking tv off don't buy the app and go do something 00:38:06.340 --> 00:38:08.579 else go take a walk take some breath take some 00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:11.780 breathe a little go go go run your hands through 00:38:11.780 --> 00:38:14.400 some grass and and and start to appreciate life 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:16.300 because i these people are miserable wrestling 00:38:16.300 --> 00:38:18.880 fans i love you but at the same time you all 00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.500 are You are all miserable human beings, and all 00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:22.719 you want to do is complain about everything. 00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.280 Just take a breath and try to relax a little. 00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:27.679 This match was great. You had Becky and Seth, 00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:31.880 the power couple, versus returning AJ Lee and 00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:34.800 CM Punk. This match was so much fun. So much 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.179 fun. I absolutely loved the interaction between 00:38:38.179 --> 00:38:41.119 Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. They are quickly 00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:43.719 becoming my two favorite to watch. They've always 00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:46.659 been my favorite. individually i love watching 00:38:46.659 --> 00:38:48.340 them come up through their careers and one of 00:38:48.340 --> 00:38:50.539 these episodes i hope to do a becky lynch breakdown 00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:54.139 of her transition from the irish last kicker 00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:58.119 to the man to her current uh her current intercontinental 00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:01.199 run. I just think she, her career is unbelievable. 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:03.480 I love watching them work. And this match was 00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:06.480 great. The way they constantly worked off each 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.260 other to distract the ref and to cause, cause, 00:39:09.460 --> 00:39:12.019 uh, interference and the games they were playing 00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:15.400 with AJ and CM Punk was awesome. Awesome. Now. 00:39:16.079 --> 00:39:18.659 If I have one critique, AJ looked a little rusty, 00:39:18.820 --> 00:39:20.460 but that's because she hasn't wrestled in 10 00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:22.420 years. But once this match got going and the 00:39:22.420 --> 00:39:24.920 last like five minutes of this, it was just great. 00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.719 The table spot at the end, not the table spot, 00:39:27.780 --> 00:39:31.059 the announced table spot at the end where all 00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:32.960 three of them go through it, that looked rough 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:36.340 and she took a spill. That took a bump. I hope 00:39:36.340 --> 00:39:38.320 everybody's okay with that, but this is great. 00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:41.820 So anyone crapping on this and not actually enjoying 00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:44.420 it for what it is, I don't know what y 'all are 00:39:44.420 --> 00:39:46.619 watching wrestling for because this was such 00:39:46.619 --> 00:39:49.280 a good match. Hats off to all four of you. Can't 00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:51.480 wait to see what happens next. I'm loving everything 00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:55.739 these four are doing. I am all freaking in. The 00:39:55.739 --> 00:39:59.019 last match, the main event, your champion, Cody 00:39:59.019 --> 00:40:01.380 Rhodes versus Drew McIntyre. Yeah, this match 00:40:01.380 --> 00:40:03.320 wasn't for me. I got to tell you, it wasn't for 00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:05.440 me. It was just fine. It was a fine standard 00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:09.440 match. whatever whatever i don't know what to 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:11.139 tell you i like cody when he comes out of the 00:40:11.139 --> 00:40:13.559 curtain i love his song and then the match starts 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.980 and it's just not for me and that's okay i recognize 00:40:15.980 --> 00:40:18.139 that there's things that aren't going to be for 00:40:18.139 --> 00:40:20.440 everyone i just got done saying you know you 00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:23.400 might not like the last match but hey whatever 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.800 this match i really wanted to see them shake 00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:28.949 this up i really wanted to see drew get the title 00:40:28.949 --> 00:40:31.829 because here's the thing drew is constantly in 00:40:31.829 --> 00:40:35.670 the title picture and he never wins so eventually 00:40:35.670 --> 00:40:38.710 people are not going to take him seriously he 00:40:38.710 --> 00:40:41.829 is a badass you have to at least have the badass 00:40:41.829 --> 00:40:44.590 win once in a while that means you give them 00:40:44.590 --> 00:40:48.389 the belt you let them do stuff as the champion 00:40:48.389 --> 00:40:51.230 you let them be this badass heel as the champion 00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:54.550 if they lose every single time they are given 00:40:54.550 --> 00:40:57.130 an opportunity no one will take them seriously 00:40:57.130 --> 00:40:59.809 anymore and he will just turn into a jobber so 00:40:59.809 --> 00:41:02.150 you're trying to portray him as this unstoppable 00:41:02.150 --> 00:41:05.730 badass heel and you never let him win eventually 00:41:05.730 --> 00:41:09.210 the stick wears off and no one cares that he's 00:41:09.210 --> 00:41:11.349 even there and no one wants to see his matches 00:41:11.349 --> 00:41:13.650 i think he's a great wrestler from where he's 00:41:13.650 --> 00:41:17.269 come to now it's unbelievable The way he's transformed 00:41:17.269 --> 00:41:21.210 himself physically, his game on the mic is out 00:41:21.210 --> 00:41:24.610 of this world. So I really like what he's doing. 00:41:24.750 --> 00:41:28.010 But again, he has to be a viable threat. And 00:41:28.010 --> 00:41:31.710 every once in a while, you have to make the change 00:41:31.710 --> 00:41:35.730 just to keep everyone honest. And I think it's 00:41:35.730 --> 00:41:38.650 becoming stale with the Cody thing. It's almost 00:41:38.650 --> 00:41:41.489 like Cena was 10 years ago with the Super Cena. 00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:45.079 Well, Cody Rhodes doesn't lose despite Claymore 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:47.780 after Claymore and, you know, all these other 00:41:47.780 --> 00:41:51.440 moves. And so the finish to this match, I wasn't 00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:53.719 a fan of. He literally does a Claymore through 00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:56.059 the bottom of the announce table. And now suddenly 00:41:56.059 --> 00:41:58.400 his legs broken. I'm like, it's a piece of plexiglass. 00:41:58.460 --> 00:42:03.219 What is the problem? And then Cody does his super 00:42:03.219 --> 00:42:06.760 Cody cutter off the top rope. And that's it. 00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:08.960 And I'm like, oh, God, that match wasn't for 00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.710 me. It wasn't for me at all. I understand why 00:42:11.710 --> 00:42:15.309 they did it because if I'm ESPN and this is my 00:42:15.309 --> 00:42:18.550 brand new debut show, brand new first out of 00:42:18.550 --> 00:42:21.630 the box PLE, am I going to have one of my famous, 00:42:21.789 --> 00:42:25.269 most recognizable superstars on the planet lose? 00:42:25.510 --> 00:42:28.349 Probably not. So if I were to guess, I would 00:42:28.349 --> 00:42:31.449 say the powers that be at ESPN had a nice strong 00:42:31.449 --> 00:42:35.630 talk with Triple H and everyone agreed that that 00:42:35.630 --> 00:42:38.510 was gonna be the end to the PLE. All in all. 00:42:38.889 --> 00:42:41.250 I asked my wife I go okay you got to rate this 00:42:41.250 --> 00:42:44.010 thing out of four turnbuckles what are you giving 00:42:44.010 --> 00:42:46.329 it you can use decimal places and she said I 00:42:46.329 --> 00:42:50.389 give it a 2 .75 turnbuckles and I thought she's 00:42:50.389 --> 00:42:53.309 being generous because I went with 2 .5 2 .5 00:42:53.309 --> 00:42:55.610 out of 4 turnbuckles so there you have it folks 00:42:55.610 --> 00:43:00.349 that is my review of Wrestlepalooza and we shall 00:43:00.349 --> 00:43:03.829 see where they go moving forward I am extremely 00:43:03.829 --> 00:43:07.400 interested in Monday Night Raw. Too bad it coincides 00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.280 with an awesome football game. So maybe we'll 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:12.500 have to have dual screens going for that. But 00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:15.940 that will wrap it up for this episode of the 00:43:15.940 --> 00:43:18.840 Three Teas Podcast.

It doesn't 00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:32.940 matter. I want to grow this thing one episode 00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:35.260 at a time.
