  Speaker 1: God bless football, Mikey.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: God bless football, Taylor.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: God bless football, Stu Gatz.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Taylor. Appreciate it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We head into week one of the NFL season. We
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: had a game last night. We did not get Taylor's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: thoughts on last night's game. We did have a discussion
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: last night. on what's the right way to travel to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Australia on the radio show yesterday, and it appears that
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: San Francisco did it correctly, Taylor.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: And this is what we were saying yesterday, where, okay,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: you send Todd from your accounting department to see how
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: his body adjusts to doing a 16-hour flight. That's not
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the same thing as sending... Matthew Stafford and seeing how
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: he holds up playing against a pretty good 49ers defense.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Do we have Todd's measurements before we start disparaging good
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: old Todd?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Why is it Todd? Why is it Todd in accounting though?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: It's such a good accounting game, Todd.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Put it on the poll. Is Todd a good accounting game?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: So I do feel a little bad for the 49ers
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: today because the only thing people are doing today is
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: giving the Rams excuses, their travel schedule, which by the way,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: The Rams' fault for how they traveled in the game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Well, it's Todd's fault. Yes.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Aaron Donald didn't make the trip. If I'm the 49ers,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I'm annoyed with this excuse machine coming out of the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: NFL media today because what they did was shove a
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl favorite into a locker, and you look at
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: their roster. Mike Evans, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Brock Purdy,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Trent Williams, Nick Bosa, Fred Warner. When healthy... This roster
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: and that coach and Kyle Shanahan can compete with anybody,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: and I thought that was a statement game from San
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Francisco week one.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Wow, the rare statement game in week one. Mikey, how
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: do you feel about that? If I'm San Francisco, I'm happy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I'm 1-0. I beat the Rams.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I don't care where we did it, how we did it,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what their excuses are. We're 1-0, and Brock Purdy looked really,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Brock Purdy did look good, and the Rams didn't, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: you're right that there is an excuse machine there. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: if you're the 49ers, you won game one. You won
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: a divisional game against the one that everybody's saying, oh,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: this is the team that's going to win the Super Bowl.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: And now you get to come home. You get to
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: fly back to your home field.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And what do you get? You get the Miami Dolphins. Yes. 2-0.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Let's go. Yes, with 10 days rest, right?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Whether it's right or not with the Rams having excuses
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: of traveling, We have to step up as NFL fans
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: and put our feet down and say enough with the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: NFL international games. Why is it our responsibility as fans
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to help the NFL grow overseas when it comes at
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: the expense of the product that we already have in
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the NFL? Like the NFL on Sundays is great. Why
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: does the onus fall on us to try to grow
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the game in Australia by sending a divisional NFL matchup
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: week one to Australia?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You had trouble getting that out, huh? You're talking too fast.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It's football. It's first week. You're excited.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I meant to say divisional games that could wind up
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: determining who wins the division, who makes the playoffs. Who
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: gets a home field playoff advantage?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: The Rams should have taken it more seriously. They're not
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: asking us to take it seriously. They're asking the teams
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to take it seriously, and the Rams clearly did not.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: We don't have to do anything. The onus is not
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on us. We don't have to do a single thing.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You cannot watch the game if you want to make
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a statement. I mean, but they're not asking us to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: do anything. They're trying to grow the game. And how
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: do you grow the game?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Put two of your best teams in Australia.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: But if the product on the field is worse as
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a result of it, You want to send preseason games
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: to London, Germany, Australia?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Nobody from here is watching those preseason games anyway. Make
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: an entire international preseason tour for all I care. The
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Premier League, let's use this as an example. The Premier
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: League wants to.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: The Prem, yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: The Prem wants to grow in America too.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You know how they don't do it? They don't send
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Manchester City and Manchester United to New York to play
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a league match that could help decide the Premier League
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: title because that would be ridiculous. And if you pitch
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that concept to people in England, they would riot. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: just because it's the NFL, we've been so conditioned to say,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: we're just going to eat whatever slop the NFL puts
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: in front of us mindset.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. Yeah, but the Premier League isn't growing in America
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the way they want it to because they're not sending
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: us that stuff.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: That's not true.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: If they sent us that stuff, their good stuff, we
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: still wouldn't care. And they know it. So why not
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: just send us their slop? We sent Australia our best.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I understand that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: We sent them the best we have. I mean, people
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: were saying Rams of the field. People were talking about
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the Rams being an undefeated team.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: There are stars littered.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Across each of those rosters, we sent them two of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: our best. Soccer is not sending our best. We don't
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: care enough about soccer. Australia, they cared about football. They
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: cared about that game. The fans were into it. That's
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: how you grow the game. Taylor, I don't disagree with
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: what it is you're saying. I'm just saying that's how
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you grow the game. We can reject it all we want.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The only thing we can do, though, is not watch
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the game. We can't prevent the NFL from doing it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: They're going to do it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly why the NFL could get away with
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it because the NFL is like, we could put this
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: game on the moon in week two. And all NFL fans,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: if we put it on Netflix, if we put it
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: on Paramount Plus, if we hide it in the NFL
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Sunday ticket package, NFL fans will buy this because they've
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: been conditioned to think if there's an NFL game on,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: we need to watch this.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, of course, because the NFL is that popular.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Mikey, do you agree with him? Do you agree with
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: what he's saying? Like, he is really upset about us
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: playing games overseas. They're terrible.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: They're so bad every time.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I understand that. I do. I mean.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm upset when I watch the game. When I'm watching
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the game and I.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: See the level of play and you start going, well,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: it's a different sort of field and it's a different.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Schedule for the guys and all that. I'm like, yeah,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, when you told me, hey,
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: I'm getting a game Wednesday and Thursday. or, hey, I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: going to be getting a game at 9.30 in the
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: morning on Sunday, and it goes all the way through
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: to 11 o'clock at night, then I'm happy. I'm the problem.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I am everything that you are railing against, Taylor. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: am the one that's going to buy whatever subscription I
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: need to buy to watch whatever game the NFL wants
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: to dangle in front of me, played wherever they want.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: It to be played.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yep, and they know it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: And with how competitive... You got me. With how competitive
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the NFC West is supposed to be this season, there's
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: a very good chance that at the end of the season,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: this game matters when it comes to tiebreaker. And it's like, okay...
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: maybe the Rams didn't have to put their best foot
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: forward because they had to travel halfway across the globe to,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: to compete in a week one game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Not only that, the 49ers, the big knock against them
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: is going to be okay.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You, you acclimated to Australia.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: You got the, you got the, you got the wind,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: but now you have to come home and now you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: going to have to play games while your body is
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: trying to get used to back being back in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: United States.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Well, the NFL gave them a gift.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Not only do they get the dolphins at home this week,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: the following week, They get the Cardinals at home.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You and I agree, though, in set one with the Bear,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that if the Niners played that game asleep, they would
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: still beat the Dolphins.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: They could sleep for the next weeks there, 3-0.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I also think the 49ers would rather.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They got Malik Willis and Jacoby Brissett on the heels
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of Australia.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: I also think the 49ers would rather play their games
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: in Australia than next to that substation that kills all
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: their players.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Put it on the poll. Should Melbourne be the new
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: home for San Francisco? Mel-bin. Mel-bin, whatever. Mel-bin. Tomato, tomato.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: If you spell your city Melbourne, pronounce it Melbourne.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I agree. Yes, put it on the poll.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: If you spell your city Melbourne, should it be pronounced Mel-born?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: It seems like a logical thing to do. How do
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: they pronounce it?
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Mel-bin. That's weird.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Every time Noah Eagle had the chance yesterday, he was like,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: And we're coming to you live from Melbourne.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Really? Yep.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Melbourne.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: It's spelled B-O-U-R-N-E, I think, right?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: There's a Melbourne.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Like born identity. I mean.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: There's a Melbourne, Florida. And that one is pronounced Melbourne. Melbourne.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: We call it Melbourne, Florida now.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: So this is the rare time where Florida got something right?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Depends how you look at it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Taylor has the top five college games of the weekend.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I have top five NFL games. Mikey has top five
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: NFL games. Before we get to any of that, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Taylor has something on Kansas, Missouri, one of my picks
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: coming up here for.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Stu, you gots. I'm worried about it, Mikey.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But before we get to that, Mikey, you missed the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: radio show yesterday. We tried to do it with Sal.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Sal couldn't get connected. He'll be joining us today on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the radio show. But Taylor is talking. He's talking in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: too many places. He's tired. He's exhausted. And he's also excited.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: for week one of the NFL season and week three
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: or two of the college football season. So this happened yesterday, Mikey,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on the radio.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your point. It's time to get your.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your financial portfolio game ready with
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: our friends at Webull. Can I spins on this for
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: a second?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: You can. Yes.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Me messing up the ad.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Is better for Webull in the long term.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: No doubt, yes. It's an odd justification. They're going to
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: get a lot of play. But I'm proud of you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: You're right, though. You are right, yes.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You messing it up gets more play and more talk
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and more traction than if you nailed it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Play it again.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your point.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they're getting from it, but you're right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Here, it's almost like my car battery is dead. And
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: somebody comes over to my car and is like, let
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: me help him jumpstart this.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got some chargers.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you give it like two revs and then it's
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: very clear the battery's dead and it just kind of
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: falls out like this. It's time to get your point.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your financial. Did I just scream racket?
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: And I appreciate it. Yes.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Well, you're welcome.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Imagine Taylor is in the parking lot. His battery is dead.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And some guy drives by in his car.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Nice guy. Okay. And he says, hey, I got some
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: chargers in the back here. Plus to plus. Minus to minus.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I know how to do this. We're going to get
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: your battery work in.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Um, imagine this is Taylor trying to start his car
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that simply won't start.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your point.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: You just said something. I need to go to Taylor
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: on this. Taylor, is there any chance ever that Stu
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: gots has jumpstarted a car?
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm good at it. I can do it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I've never had to believe it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Black to black, red to red. I mean, I know
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: how to do it. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You know the two colors?
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I know they're supposed to connect to each other.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: There's a modern AAA over here.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Put it on the ball.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It's a modern AAA over here. Why do you have
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: me not being able to do that?
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I don't understand.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: I just imagine you call somebody to call somebody to
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: come do it for you. I imagine you calling Taylor
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: and being like, Taylor, call somebody to come jump my
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: car for me.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Where are you? I don't know. Right.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Usually it's Abby.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Abby didn't answer because she knew better.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: You would be better off. You're right. She never does.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You'd be better off asking Abby to jump start your
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: car than you would.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Be asking me. I can tell you that much. Abby
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: is very handy.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Andy, she does all the work around the house in
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: large part because she doesn't want to be touching anything.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Let's get to before we get to your top five
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: college games of the week here, Taylor. I have top
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: five NFL games. Mikey has top five NFL games. What
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts here on Kansas, Missouri?
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: What's going on there?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: So this game is actually tonight and it's the border
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: war between Kansas and Missouri. A very rivalry that is
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: steeped in hatred. And so many schools are doing this
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: thing now where they're trying to sanitize rivalries and take
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the hate out of them. Like, you have Kyle Whittingham.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: He gets the Michigan job, and he says, Michigan-Ohio State
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: can still be intense without relying on the hatred factor.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: No, it can't.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: The hatred factor is the entire point of a college
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: football rivalry.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is. Right.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So, Missouri and Kansas play tonight in the border war. Kansas'
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: hype video for this game, Stu— It's an all-time hype
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: video because the premise of the video is basically Kansas
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: coming out and just saying, hey, just a reminder, in
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the Civil War, Missouri sided with the Confederacy and believed
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: in slavery.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, geez.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: That is harsh. True. But it was a long time ago, man.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: It's a very long time ago. And it's a subject,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: so I've been reading up on it since, and it's
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: a subject that Missouri fans are very sensitive about because,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: as you'd imagine, they'd like to distance themselves as far
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: away from it as possible.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Right. From the racism. Yes. Okay.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And whoever runs Kansas' social media was like, you guys
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: might hate this, but this is a perfect time for
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: us to bring it up because- There's people who are
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: on the fence about who they're rooting for in the
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: border war tonight. And I think when they put out
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: this video, a lot of people were reminded, yeah, I'd
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: probably side with Kansas in this.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, now I do.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: So I was also reading up on this. The Confederacy
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: recognized Missouri as its 12th state for the Civil War,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: but Missouri did not leave the Union. So you know
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: what Missouri was doing, Stu.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: What's that, Taylor?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: They were playing both sides.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I have never.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Been more confident in taking Kansas tonight. Plus five and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a half. The Jayhawks.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: So that was their hype video. Missouri is racist.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Stu, they could have put all the highlights in
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: it from, from past games.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: What it ultimately came down to was, hey, don't forget
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Missouri was racist at one point.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: They're telling Missouri, hey, you can run from this, you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: as fast as you can.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Run as long as you want. We're not going to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: let you forget it. It's a border war. And you're
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: right about the hatred with the rivalry. You have to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: have it. Like, imagine the United States-Russia hockey game, the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: most famous hockey game in the history of hockey, would
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: not be nearly as famous if Russia and the United
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: States were getting along, you know?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mack Brown did this when he became the head
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: coach at North Carolina, the second stint, where Mack Brown
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: gets the job, and he was talking about NC State,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and he was like, oh, NC State, I respect a
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: lot of their coaches there. It's a great run program,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Dave Doran, what he does there, and the same thing
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: with Manny Diaz at Duke. And it's like, that's the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: politically correct thing to say, but I want my head
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: coach to understand why we don't like our rivals so much,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: and I want that to kind of reflect on him.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Let's get to the I want the hatred.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I want the hatred.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I want the hate.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: That's what I want.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: And if you find out that your rival is sensitive
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: about something, you push that button over and over again.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Kansas, I am now rooting for you.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Are you? I mean, OK, Missouri.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Welcome, Kansas. Yes.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Missouri, Kansas.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Great job by Kansas. Perfect to create interest in that game.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I am proud of them, and also to get me
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to side with Kansas, something I never thought I would
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: say in the history of my life. Listen, I could
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: have lived until I was 90 years old. I'm not
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: going to, but I could have, and I would never,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: ever have imagined me arriving at a day where I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: said I side with Kansas.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: But here we are. We'll get to the top fives
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: in a minute. Stu, you gots. Coming up next. It
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: is time for this week's edition of Stu, You Gots.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: All lines are courtesy of our friends over at FanDuel
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and the FanDuel Sportsbook.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Four and two a week ago.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Off to a decent start. A solid start. I'm going
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to wreck it all right now. Let's get to college first.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Kansas takes on Missouri. That game is tonight. Kansas is
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: plus five and a half at home, taking on Missouri.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Buy it up to six.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I'm taking Kansas to win the game outright.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: How about that? Michigan coming off a suspect win, one
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: might say, a week ago. They are plus four and
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a half.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They're taking on Oklahoma. I'm taking Michigan here. Buy it
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: up to five. Michigan wins the game. They win on
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: a last second. Hail Mary. For the second consecutive week
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to get themselves to 2-0.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Michigan wins by three points at home.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Kentucky, plus ten and a half, taking on Alabama. Alabama
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: wins the game. Kentucky covers. Kentucky is sneaky good. They're
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a talented team. Alabama by four points over Kentucky. Kentucky
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: gets the cover. Pitt, sneaky good team, minus seven and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a half. They're taking on UCF. Buy it down to seven.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Take the Panthers. The Panthers win. They cover Pittsburgh. by
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: 10 points at home. Syracuse, take it on Cal. Why
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: am I taking this game? I have no idea. Syracuse
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: is minus.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Three and a half at home.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I don't like Cal having to fly all the way
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: across the country to play in upstate New York. So
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to take Syracuse here, buy it down to three.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Hughes wins by seven points at home. And finally, I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: am contractually obligated to take Hawaii anytime they play at home,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: regardless of whether I like them or not.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I happen to like them this week. They are minus
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: seven and a half. They're at home.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: They're taking on New Mexico State. Buy it down to seven.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The Rainbows win by 13 points at home. NFL, week one,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it's all happening. Ravens, minus three and a half at
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the Colts. I love Baltimore. Love Lamar Jackson. Wants to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: impress in his first game with his new coach. I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: taking the Ravens here simply because they have the best
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: player on the field.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And that's usually the case when Lamar Jackson is playing.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: The Ravens win. They cover the Ravens by 10 points
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: on the road. The Jaguars.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Mikey's going to be mad at me. I'm not taking
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars because I like the Jaguars. I'm taking the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Jaguars because the Browns are bad. They're minus eight and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a half. The Jaguars buy.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: It down to eight. Take Jacksonville. They win.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: They cover.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: They win by 14 points at home. This is the one.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Mikey's really going to get upset with me about. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: have taken the Jets here. I don't care about Robert
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Sala revenge game. The Jets have a more talented roster
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: than the Titans. They're plus one and a half on
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the road. The Jets win the game outright, Mikey. We're
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: off to a 1-0 start. It's the Jets by four
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: over Tennessee. The Bears, you know I love Caleb Williams.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I have to take Caleb Williams. I said he's the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: They're minus three. They're at Carolina. Buy it down to
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: two and a half. The Bears win.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: They cover the Bears by seven points on the road. Cincinnati,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: my boy Joe Burrow, minus three and a half. They're
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: taking on the Buccaneers. Buy it down to three. They
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: took that chip off of Baker's shoulder by giving him
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: an extra $ 65 million and a third season in Tampa Bay.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: I'm taking the Bucs here.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow says this is the best team he's been
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: on since he played at LSU. That team was phenomenal.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: That means this team is really, really talented. The Bengals
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: by 10 points at home over the Buccaneers. And finally,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the Chargers. Take it on the Cardinals. Chargers minus 9.5
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: at home. Again, this is a bet more against the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Cardinals than it is on the Chargers. So I am
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: taking the Chargers here, minus 9.5. They win by 14
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: points at home over the Arizona Cardinals.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Those are the picks, everyone. Good luck.

  Speaker 4: We'll get to Taylor's top five college football.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Games of the weekend coming up here in a second.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I have my top five NFL games. Mikey A also
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: has his top five NFL games. Do you guys blame
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Aaron Donald for not making that trip? Do you think
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the Rams should have made Aaron Donald make the trip
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to Australia?
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: What do you think, Taylor?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: So I don't think he should have played in that game,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: but I think the least Aaron Donald could have done
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: is get on a flight and at least support his teammates.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: We're not talking about, you know, hopping over to Kansas
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: City on a three-hour flight. No, you don't just go
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: to Australia to support your teammates. The whole reason Aaron
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Donald wasn't going. is to get his body right. And
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: making that flight probably wasn't going to help.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, boo-hoo.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: He would have had to sleep in a first-class plane
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: ride there and then in a five-star hotel once he
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: gets to Australia and then sit outside in a, probably,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: he probably would have sat in the owner's suite in Australia.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Give me a break.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: I don't care how comfortable the seat is on a plane.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: You're still on a plane and you're still a giant
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: human being on that plane.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I can tell you as someone who has traveled to Australia,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: first-class helps.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Sure does.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: They could have got Aaron Donald his own plane.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't have to play a football game when I landed,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: but I can tell you it helps.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: That's all I can tell you.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Because I was looking at the people and coach, and
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: they weren't walking the same way I was walking.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: I had a little pep in my step.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I mean, Matthew Stafford, that
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: was the one. Taylor, me and Mikey A were laughing
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: about this. You could send young guys in there, hop
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: on a bird, get off the bird, play a football game,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: get back on the bird and go home. You can't
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: do that when you're 40. I'm telling you, as you age, man,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: flying becomes increasingly difficult on your body.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: What was Sean McVay's play call there, that fourth and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: one where he had Matthew Stafford trying to sneak it?
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Like Matthew Stafford's 38 and he deals with chronic back issues.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Like maybe hand the ball off to Kyron Williams.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say on Aaron Donald is, Mikey,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: if you're in, you're in. Like, if you want to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: come back, you come back. And you play all 17.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: If you can play all 17, even if all 17
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: are in Melbourne, Australia.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: And if you're coming back and we have to sacrifice
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: week one in Melbourne, Australia, to get you the other
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: six teams, I'll take my chances.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I'm happy that we have a team to root against.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Because I'm rooting against the Rams in the NFL. I'm
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: rooting against LSU in college.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I am. And I'm happy.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: And Missouri.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I'm rooting for both.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Not Missouri, though. Let's be clear. You're not rooting for Missouri, right? No.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Kansas.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: All the way.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Missouri was racist once.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Go Jayhawks.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Once.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Let's get to Taylor's top five college football games as
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: we head into week two here.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: So we have two OLIs.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: So seven games you like, huh? Yeah.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: And one's a formality. Like, if this game's being played,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I don't care how the two teams are. They have
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: to be on it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Iowa State at Iowa is that game. El Asico.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think Iowa State's good because their entire roster
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: left with Matt Campbell to Penn State.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: And they're good. Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: And Iowa looks like they might have a pretty good
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: offense for the first time. And the spread's double digits.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: It's at Iowa. It's going to be a tough challenge
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: for Iowa State. But any time. these two teams meet
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: to play an ugly brand of football yeah you can
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: sign me up for.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: It okay do we know if iowa's offense is really
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that good i mean who they play last week we're
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: basing it on one game i.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Think they played a directional illinois maybe northern.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Illinois okay do it against iowa state.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Second oli yes arizona at byu two sneaky big 12
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: contenders yes could potentially challenge Texas Tech in that conference.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I would just say if I were to make a
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: top five college football games of the weekend, I'm not,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you are, I would include this in my top five.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Really? Yeah, this is an intriguing game. Sneaky game, yes.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Number five, we mentioned it before, Missouri at Kansas, the
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: border war, no love lost.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, everything on the line.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Ahmad Hardy was a preseason All-American running back
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: for Mizzou. He's still out, which is a bummer. He's
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: recovering from A off-season gunshot wound still. But Missouri has
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Austin Simmons, Ole Miss transfer at quarterback, one of Lane
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Kiffin's throwaways.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to watch out for those gunshot wounds.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: They'll get you.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Every time.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Number four, Alabama at Kentucky. This is a big-time show-me-something game.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Massive game, man. I like Kentucky. That roster is loaded, man.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Plus ten and a half.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: They're trying to become a football school. They really are.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: So for Alabama, it's a show-me-something game because Keelan Russell,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: you want to see him against an SEC defense and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: not against East Carolina. And with Kentucky, every new coach
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: is trying to get their Kirk Cignetti moment in where
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cignetti goes to Indiana and he says, I win,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Google me. Will Stein had his moment during SEC media
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: days where, They asked him, why is Kentucky going to win?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And he said, because of me. So this is your
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: first chance.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Will Stein, show me something.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, win because of you. Right.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Number three.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Arizona State. going on the road to Texas A & M.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: I love this game. I do.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain about Texas A & M, and Arizona
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: State is sneaky good this year.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: They are, yes.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: So Kenny Dillingham stayed at Arizona State when you would
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: figure a lot of those big jobs like Penn State,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: like some of those jobs that came open were after
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: him because he's always a hot young name when it
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: comes to college coaches. This is a change in the
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: narrative game for the Big 12. If they could go
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: on the road to one of the best environments in
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: college football, Kyle Field, and pull off an upset.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: It is a change the narrative game, if they could
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: But only if they could do it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: It's a big if.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: If not, everything stays the same. There's no narrative change.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: It's just the same narrative.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Number two.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma at Michigan in the big house. And I think
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: everybody in the country, it feels like is rooting for
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma after Michigan cheated Western Michigan.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, but it feels like everyone's pounding Michigan because it
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: was plus five and a half and now it's plus.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Four and a half.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: The Sharps are coming in on Michigan.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: It feels like people watch that game and said, man,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Bryce Underwood is really bad. Oklahoma's defense is going to
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: have a field day with them.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I think when you have a game in which you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: know you stole a game, you won a game that
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you weren't supposed to win, I'd like to think that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that team, they recognize that, and they come out and
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: they actually play better the next week.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: And it could have been a look-ahead spot for Michigan
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: with Oklahoma coming to town, a playoff team.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Could have been.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: That's a convenient excuse.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: There's only so much you can look ahead until Kyle
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Whittingham looks defeated on the sideline as he's about to
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: lose to a Mac school.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: That guy never should have left Utah. Some people just
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: need to stay exactly where they are.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Know your lane, yeah. Kyle Whittingham, first ballot, know your lane, buddy.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Utah, no pressure. No one cares what you say about
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: your rival.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: You can't say that when you're the Michigan coach about
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State game.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: You have to take that thing seriously, man.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day thinks it's more important than winning national championships.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Anyway. Wow.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Perfect lead-in to this one. My number one game of
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: the weekend, no surprise, Ohio State at Texas. A ton
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: of NFL talent in this game. This is a big
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: revenge spot for Texas, even though you would assume if
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: they win out or lose just one more game the
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: remainder of the season, both these two teams should be
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: playoff teams. So it's a game that both teams could
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: afford to lose. but you don't want to lose it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what I hate. Both teams can't afford to
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: lose it. You're right. I don't like that about college
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: football these days, but that's where we're at.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Bear seemed to like Texas in this game. I like
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, and that's why I'm staying away from the game.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited to watch it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: All right, Mikey A has his top five NFL games.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: I have top five NFL games. Let's see how they
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: match up here as we head into week one of
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the NFL season.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: I can't wait.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of these one-offs, these games just trickling in
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: one at a time in Melbourne.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: And wherever else the other one was.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: In Seattle.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: No one cares about Seattle. Distance.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Give me all eyes.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: I just need a full slate of games. I need
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: a full Sunday, Mikey. Anyway, I have no OLIs. Do you?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I have one.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: One OLI.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: All right. Cowboys-Giants.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Cowboys-Giants. All right.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: This game is always hyped to be bigger than it
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: actually is.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: The two teams are pretty lousy.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: At least in recent history, it's been the Giants.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Giants haven't beat Dak Prescott in, like,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: It feels like an eternity at this point.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: But you want to see John Harbaugh as the Giants
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: head coach. You want to see if Jackson Dart has
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: improved that quarterback. You want to see if Dallas is
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: for real, right? You want to see some of those things.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure I'd count them all, but I'm sure
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: it's going to be in your top five.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: It's not. How about that?
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: So you had an O-L-I too?
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I just have a straight five here, and that was
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: not included. You want my number five first?
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Just a quick correction. I said it feels like The
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Cowboys haven't– Dak Prescott hasn't lost to the Giants in
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: quite some time.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Lost to them twice last year?
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: No, they lost to them, though, the last time they played,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: January 4, 2026. There you go.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: So the most recent– It was literally this year.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: It was literally this year.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: I love you.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Hand up, accountability.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Listen, all you do is say something without any information,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and then when you get it wrong, just hold your
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: hand up and say I was wrong.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Sorry. There you go.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Number five, Mikey's going to hate this. Jets and Titans.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I already hate your list.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Robert Sala, revenge game. Cam Ward, I want to see
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: if he's improved. The Jets, a lot of people are
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: excited about the Jets, Mike, especially the offense.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I like the Jets this week. I do. You heard
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: it in Stu, you gots. I'm sorry to Mikey A
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: for doing that.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I apologize to all Jet fans for picking the Jets.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: But I am intrigued by this game, not because it's
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: my favorite team, just because I think it's an intriguing matchup.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: You said people are excited and you're intrigued by this game.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: You can get tickets for that game right now for $ 22.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: This is game one of the NFL season.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: We don't know how bad these teams are, but everybody
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: seems to know those.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Two are going to be bad.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: $ 22 will get you in the door.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: At that game.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't say how many people. I just said people
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: are interested. What's your number five?
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Number five, Packers at Vikings. I want to see what
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Kyler Murray looks like under the quarterback whisperer. And I
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: always have high hopes for Green Bay. It's the best
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: division in football, I think.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Packers-Vikings.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: All right, Packers-Vikings.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Didn't Aaron Rodgers have some words for the Packers coach?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he called him a clown.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Called him a clown.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: And he deserved it. LeFleur deserved it. LeFleur. LeFleur deserved it.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: He said Jordan Love was the best quarterback– pre-snap he's
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: ever coached.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: If Aaron Rodgers has, like, one big superpower, that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Might be it.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Wait, he said what about Jordan Love? Aaron Rodgers said
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: this about Jordan Love?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: No, LeFleur said this about Jordan Love, and Aaron Rodgers
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: took issue with it, as he should.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, to be fair, Aaron Rodgers takes issue with that.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers takes issue with everything nowadays.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: I know, but that's ridiculous.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: But he happens to be right here.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: You can't be the coach of Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if LeFleur was there when Favre
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: was there, but you can't coach Aaron Rodgers and come
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: out and say Jordan Love is better at something, at anything.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a boy-cries-wolf situation with Aaron Rodgers because
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: you're so conditioned to every time Aaron Rodgers is saying something,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: you roll your eyes that the one time he is
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: kind of right, you've already scared everybody off from your village,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Number four for me, Mikey, Bears at Panthers, mostly because
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, I think he's the greatest quarterback we've ever seen.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I think eventually we'll all say the same thing. Caleb
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Williams was the greatest quarterback to ever play this game,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and so I want to see if Caleb has developed.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I want to see if the Bears are any good,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and the Panthers, complete roller coaster. I have no idea
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: what to expect. It's why I enjoy Panther games. Sometimes
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: they look like a team that can win the Super Bowl.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: And other times it looked like a team that can't
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: It's amazing. Was that your Panther?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Same pick, same slot, number four, Bears at Panthers. It's
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: one of the few games that's actually between two playoff
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: teams from last year.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: How about that? We're talking football, boys. Number three.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Bengals and Bucs.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Joe Burrow says.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: It's the best team he's been on since the LSU
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: National Championship team, and he was on a team that
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: went to.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: A Super Bowl.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, no more chip on his shoulder. One year
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and 65 extra million dollars took the chip off of
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: his shoulder. I'm just interested in the game. I want
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to see if the Bengals are as good as Joe
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Burrow thinks they are.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: As I said when we were talking to Bear, Week one,
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: I don't like to bet spreads too much.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I like to bet unders.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: But if I had hope for any game to possibly
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: be a shootout this week, it's this one.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: They're number three.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: Give me your number two because I have a feeling
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: the next two.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Number two.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: The Bills at the Texans.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. Should I scratch mine out? I mean.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: That was your number two?
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: It's in pen. I don't know what to do.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't. There's nothing you can do about it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I was in that number one.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: I haven't. Well. You'll find out in a second, yes.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: We'll find out, yeah. How about that?
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Why are you intrigued by this game? I am, too.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: You want to see if C.J. Shroud is back, right? Essentially.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Because you know the defense is good, right?
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: It's obviously a championship-level defense. I want to see if C.J.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Shroud can be good enough that they'll win games. Buffalo,
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: new head coach. Was it Sean McDermott holding Josh Allen back?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Joe Brady's got the reins now.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: It's the best player in the NFL versus the best
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: unit in the NFL.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Fireworks.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: That's why it's my number two as well, mostly because
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I want to see if C.J.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Straub has improved.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Then the Texans are going to be a team that's
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: going to contend for the Super Bowl. Because Chris Sims
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: told us a year ago that defense was a championship-worthy defense,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and they are literally a quarterback away. So I want
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: to see if that quarterback has fixed whatever problems that
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: he has needed to address here in the offseason.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Uh, you're number one, Mikey. I can't, it's going to
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: be the same.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: It's Monday night football. It's Monday night football.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Well, what's the game?
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: It's Broncos at chiefs.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's not mine. How about that?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Wow. You got something better than better than that, huh?
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Uh, you're going Broncos chief strictly on the.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: The idea of you want to see my home, see
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: how he looks, see if he's healthy, because if he
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: is indeed healthy in the homes of old, uh, we
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: could stop talking about the Rams as much as we've
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: been talking about them.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Kansas City is going to be a factor.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Divisional matchup between two teams in probably the second-best division
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: in football. Patrick Mahomes coming back. Can he find that form?
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: Denver was AFC champions in the AFC championship game last year,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: and frankly, if Bo Nix starts that game, they probably
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: win and they go to the Super Bowl, and then
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: who knows what happens.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: All right, my number one here. I can't believe that
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: game was not in my top five. It probably should
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: have been. I probably should have taken the Jets and
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Titans out. A little bit of an.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Oversight, yeah. Jets, Titans. What the heck game do you
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: have in there?
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: I have the Eagles and the Commanders. Why? Because no
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: more A.J.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Brown.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I want to see how Jalen Hurts looks without A.J.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Brown and how A.J. Brown is out for at least
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: four weeks here for the Patriots. Commanders, Jaden Daniels, who
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: took his team as a rookie to the NFC Championship game.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: He got injured last year. I want to see if
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels looks something close to what he was like
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: as a rookie.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: And so I like the matchup. It's intriguing to me.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: It's my list. It's not yours. You watch your Chiefs game,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and I'll watch Eagles to Manders.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I want to watch them all. How about that?
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: No, you can't.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: No, you can't watch it now.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: You can't watch Chiefs Broncos now. You're not allowed.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Well, you can't watch Eagles Commanders. How about that?
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: As long as I don't have to watch Jets Titans.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: If we were playing one and only one this weekend
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: when it comes to NFL games, I think Bills versus
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Texans is better than both your guys' number one games.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: It's my list.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's your list.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: If that game was in week 10, I'd probably be
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: more excited about it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: You're saying we got our list wrong is what you're.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let me work on that.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Well, Stugatz definitely did. He has Jets, Titans.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Well, now Taylor's working on his top five NFL games.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Go ahead. I want you to work on it. We'll
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: filibuster here for a second. Go ahead.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Because your top five college games wasn't enough that you
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: now want to get involved.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: How about I come up with a top five stinkers list?
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Well, you're going to put one of my games on there.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Jets and Titans, aren't you?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: It should be number one.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: I want your top five games of the week. Let's go.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Give me your top five games of the week.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Music. Yes.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Number five. The Baltimore Ravens versus the Indianapolis Colts. Lamar
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Jackson MVP season. Jesse Minter takes over as head coach.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I think people are forgetting how good the Colts were
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: before Daniel Jones got hurt.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: So why is this a stinker?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: No, this is number five. This is my good list.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: No, I told him to bail on the stinkers. He
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: gave us the good list. Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. Why,
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: you want the stinkers? He can do the stinkers just
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: as quickly. No, no, no. You want my stinkers? Taylor,
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: finish your list. I'll do the stinkers, okay? I'm going
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: to put the Chiefs on there.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: The Arizona Cardinals versus the Los Angeles Chargers. I want
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: to see what Justin Herbert looks like in Mike McDaniel's offense.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: And Jeremiah Love is playing for the Cardinals. So at
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: least that's going to be exciting from the Cardinals' perspective
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: because not much else gets anybody excited about that roster.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: No. I took Jeremiah Love in my fantasy league. How
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: about that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: So he's making a top five list that just doesn't
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: include any of the games that we picked.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: Number three. The Saints versus the Lions.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Ah, that's a good game.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Shuck!
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Lions finished dead last in that division, even though they
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: had a winning record last year. I have the Lions
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: winning the NFC North this season. And then me and Mikey,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: we are the leaders of the Mother Shuckers. So anytime
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Tyler Shuck plays football, you can guarantee, you can bet
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: your bottom dollar that game is going to make my
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: top five list. Mm-hmm.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Darn right.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Bet your bottom dollar.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Number two.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: The Cleveland Browns versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mina Kimes said
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: her sneaky pick for MVP this season is Trevor Lawrence.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: No.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: And this might be an if-not-now-when year for Trevor Lawrence.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: So if he needs to have an MVP season, that
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: starts on Sunday 1 p.m.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: All right. Mina said that, huh, Trevor Lawrence? She'll learn
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: the hard way. Number one.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: It's the game I'm most excited for, Bills-Texans.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: For the reasons, Mikey. Just a great game.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, that we laid out as our number two game
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: of the week.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: Keep the music playing. I have my top five stinkers.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Number five.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Taylor's List.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: Falcon Steelers.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Wow, that would have been number one.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Taylor said yesterday if Cooper Rush is playing quarterback for
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the Falcons, he will not watch that game.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: I'd rather watch tennis. That's how I phrased it.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: It was a great match last night.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Is there a Ben Shelton match on that?
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: They got a better chance of winning that game with
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Cooper Rush.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, Rich Eisen, hour one on a football
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Friday today. You know who his guest was?
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Shelton?
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: Patrick McEnroe. How about that?
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: So he does copy our show.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: By the way, Cooper Rush, floaty.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to repair my relationship with Eisen. Why are
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: you taking shots at him?
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: I bet he'll have Joel Anderson on next week to
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: talk college football.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: Raise the roof.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Tom's bear joining him.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: I gave you Luther Campbell's number. I'll make that happen
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: next week.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Joel Anderson and Luke Campbell together to figure out who
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: invented raise the roof. Number four. Browns, Jaguars. I don't
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: care about Jacksonville. I care less about Cleveland. That game
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: is dreadful. I don't care if Deshaun Watson regained some.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: Of his old form. I don't want him to.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: And Trevor Lawrence is Trevor Lawrence, and he's not going
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: to win the MVP. Number three, Dolphins Raiders. Need I
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: say more?
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Ricardo's going to be at that game.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Should have been number one. Really?
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Yep, unfortunately.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: Well, he gets to go to Las Vegas.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Viva Las Vegas.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Yep. It's always a good thing. At least for me.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Number two. Chargers, Cardinals. Listen, the Chargers, I'm tired of them.
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: I'm tired of them. I'm tired of Harbaugh. I'm tired
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: of Herbert. And I am so tired of the Cardinals.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: I'll be watching.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I'll be pounding the Chargers. And they'll trick us again
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: because they'll blow Arizona out and probably cover that spread
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: and we'll be like, oh, the Chargers, Herbert, they're good.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Until they play someone that's better. Happens every year.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: That's number two. Number one. Chiefs Broncos.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: I know the Chiefs are good. I know the Broncos
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: are good. It's the first game of the year. If
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: it was week 10, it would mean more. I know
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: both teams are going to be in the playoffs. So, like,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: whatever with this game. You need some stakes for a game.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a nothing.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Chiefs, Broncos, blah, blah, blah. They're good. I have to
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: watch good football. Shit, it's tight.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: It's more intriguing than Chiefs and Broncos.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
