Episode 14: Carted Off To Clutch! · Ruffling the Feathers: An NFL Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Also, FYI, I... And there's the first blunder.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, hey, in all fairness, that actually works out well. Hello, everybody,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and welcome to episode 14 of the Ruffling the Feathers podcast.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: In today's episode, if you get carted off, next thing
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you know, you're going to be in the clutch. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about a car. Wow, that is a
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: horrible tangent. I'm your host, Talent Master Jay, and I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: am being joined by Supernova. Nova, what's going on today, man?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So we got 14 episodes without a take one blunder,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: so there's that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, in all fairness, though, a blunder is perfectly fine.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: You're probably also wondering, ladies and gentlemen, right now, where
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: is Brandon? If we're going to be completely candid, Brandon
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: is currently working at the time of of our podcast recording.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: He is one of the heroes. out there in the world.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I will let you interpret what that hero worship position is.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And then you can give Brandon a lot of love
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and a lot of credit for his position, but he
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: is here in spirit. We will hopefully have him back
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: on the next episode, but we also have his notes
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: on week seven. And when we get to preview week eight,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: but before we get into it, Wow, I'm saying the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: word butt a lot. It's a good thing this is
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: not How I Met Your Mother. Otherwise, Nova, you're not
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: even 21 yet, are you?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'm more than 21. I've not watched How I Met
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Your Mother, but I know what you mean.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this would be the drinking game that
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you and Brandon could start drinking and then get plastered
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: every time I say the word butt.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, at least it's better than How I Met Your Father,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Did you ever, you saw that?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: No, I kept seeing the trailers.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw the trailers too. I never watched a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: single episode of it and fortunately I'm kind of glad
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Same here. But I have seen Avatar Seven Havens.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, how's that been?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: That is actually pretty damn good. For somebody who grew
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: up on the original Avatar The Last Airbender and was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: somewhat modest and mundane with Legend of Korra. I mean,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I like Legend of Korra if I'm being real. It
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't horrible. It wasn't the worst thing since sliced bread
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it was good for its own right but this one
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: yeah it's our they've already had nine episodes and i
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: can't make heads or tails of who's the good guy
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and who's the bad guy even though the good guy's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the avatar but in their realm the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: avatar is the bad guy so what am i supposed.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: To make of it uh different angle i guess uh
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: i don't know what direction the directors and producers are
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: taking with that series but.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Sure yeah and i mean The last four episodes of
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: season one are supposed to be coming out this Friday
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: on Paramount +. And I'll be watching them on Friday.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And I will see how that's at least how they
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: wrap around. But for so far, the original creators of Avatar,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I give them props. I'm giving that series so far,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I'm giving it a 9 out of 10. It's pretty good.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: But you know what else is pretty good? uh nova
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: when's the last time you played a call of duty.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Game not since like i'm lying it's like since 2019
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: when all my friends stopped playing it for some reason
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: i was like the young teenage yourself and me felt
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: like i was betrayed by my friends but you know
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: i grew past it i always enjoyed playing black ops
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: 2 it was always my poster child uh anytime i
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: get to play with relatives nowadays they keep calling me
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: too good well.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah i mean black ops 2 was actually a pretty
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: decent multiplayer experience at least for me I got Modern
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Warfare 4 I'll be completely candid I was on the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: fence with it but I was looking at it because
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of the graphics because the graphics I mean Nova you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: out there in Los Angeles so you know how great
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: good graphics are in media and television movies the whole
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: nine yards correct I've.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Never been to Hollywood so I can't say for personal
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: reasons but I can surely say yes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah um and when i was looking at the graphics
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: i was like you know these graphics are pretty good
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it looks like they're really trying to work on that
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: what was the what was the main problem with that
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: game again it was what the skill based matchmaking or
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: something like that that's.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: All i keep hearing on the internet how i'm not
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: sure if you're anyways gonna be familiar with my reference
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: um if anybody ever watches like uh these knives only
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on youtube who is a call of duty youtuber who
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: consistently plays multiplayer going mostly troll stuff or knives only
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and all i hear is like him trying to get
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: rage compilations and it keeps working almost every single time
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: but yeah um i don't know how to think about
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: skilled waste matchmaking because like you see that on other
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: type of games like like uh overwatch for example i
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: don't know how it ever would work in black ops
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: 2 in a call of duty franchise excuse me.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah um And when I was looking at the game,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm looking at the graphics because again, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: graphics are good, but at least for me, and again,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you said the last time you really played it was
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: black ops too.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: What did you think of the campaign of black ops too?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Assuming that you played it. You never touched the campaign. Nope. Okay. Well,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: at least for me, a good call of duty game
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: is only as good as its campaign. And again, Modern Warfare,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the rebooted series. The first one, okay, it was a
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: nice reboot. It wasn't terrible, wasn't bad. Modern Warfare 2,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the new Modern Warfare 2, not the original Modern Warfare 2.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: The original Modern Warfare 2 is so far in the stratosphere,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you might have to get an airplane to find that one.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But the new Modern Warfare 2 was okay on the campaign.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Modern Warfare 3, however, it made me question why the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: hell I was a Call of Duty fan growing up. Like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that's how bad it was. It was horrible of a campaign.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And then Modern Warfare 4 comes out. I'm thinking, okay,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I'm on the fence with this game. And then the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: reviews started coming out for the campaign. And I'm like, okay,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: here we go. The aggregator sites are coming out. What
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: are they going to complain about this time? And they
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: were comparing this Modern Warfare 4 campaign to the original
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Modern Warfare 2. And I'm like, okay, I might have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to get this game. And I purchased the game. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: played the campaign. Took me about, I'd say, eight or
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: nine hours to to beat the campaign on veteran difficulty,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: mind you, because I always play on veteran. I'm not
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: one of these schmoes out there who is like, oh,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I gotta play in a beginner mode. I gotta have
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the aim assist on. Man, you play it on veteran,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you die a bunch of fucking times in the game,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you don't care, you get pissed off, and then you
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: play from your last checkpoint and you win the mission. Um...
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I agree. Like this Call of Duty Modern
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Warfare 4 campaign, I'm not putting it up there like
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: with the original Modern Warfare 2, but I will say
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: for a campaign that sort of brings back those kinds
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: of memories, especially with the fact that the setting of
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Modern Warfare 4, we're in fucking North Korea. Like of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: all the places in the world, Nova, North Korea.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Must be for historical reasons. Cause, uh, you remember like
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: cold war era with that?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I think I remember there was the black ops cold war. Um,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and I know black ops and black ops two were
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: kind of in that cold war era, but like this
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: one is just straight up North Korea, South Korea, demilitarized
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: zone of Korea. Um, And honestly, I mean, I don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: mind spoiling this. I mean, what I will say about
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the game that they really captured with North Korea, now
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I get it. There's the Western side of it. There's
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the global media side of it. But from everything that
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: our media has told us, Nova, it really... like paints
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: North Korea in that light that we've been known to
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: believe them. And I'm sure even they would agree with
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: their portrayal where it's like, well, I mean, they probably
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: would deny it and they'd be like, Oh, look at
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: this propaganda that the Western media is presenting about our
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Supreme leader, Kim Jong-un. Um, but I will say that
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: they have a mission in, in there where, um, at
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: least at the beginning, this is all I'm going to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: say about it. I'm not going to spoil the rest
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of the mission, but they have like, they actually captured
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: what I believe they've done for a North Korean Supreme
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: leaders funeral procession where you have the military and they're
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: doing the walk with the, uh, the guns up in
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the air, but then you see the crowd, these, uh,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: They're poor, alleged brainwashed. I say alleged because again, if
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk by North Korea standards, they're not brainwashed.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They are the truth seekers. But if we're talking for
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the Western media, these guys are brainwashed too. kingdom come. Um,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: they actually captured these, like that crowd crying and mourning
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: at the fact that, Oh my God, we lost our
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Supreme leader. Oh, more with me. What is going to
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: happen to our country? Um, And then you see the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: new Supreme Leader and they're like, yay!
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how a hierarchy works?
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Hierarchy, dictatorship, whatever you want to call it. But yeah, no,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I give Modern Warfare 4 solid 8 out
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: of 10.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: For me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've been having, I had fun with the campaign.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I've been having fun with the demilitarized zone mode, um, multiplayer.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, look, I mean, I speak for
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: probably you as well. Nova, if you're not playing with
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: friends and multiplayer, why the hell are you playing with
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: random ass scrubs?
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Um, I could, I mean, I said it earlier with
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: these nice only thing I would play just to piss
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: people off.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Okay. That's fair.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Um, It's so easy to do because all they do
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is spam the same lines.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they spam the same lines with their snipers that camp.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And then you're just like, fuck!
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: And then all you hear are slurs.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Well, in today's society, I mean, again, it's 2026. I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: sure people are probably trying to record behind the scenes
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and behind their aliases and whatever. But look, again, this
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: is all I'm going to say about it. I've said
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it before and I'll maintain it until the day I'm
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: blue in the face and people my age will agree
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: with it until they're blue in the face. Today's kids
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: would never survive an original Modern Warfare 2 chat room.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And miss me with that remastered version, not the Modern
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Warfare 2. I'm talking about Modern Warfare 2 remaster they
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: did Was it 2018 or something like that? I think
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it was. Miss me with that. While it's a nice
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: remaster of Modern Warfare 2, it's not the same chat rooms.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Those chat rooms, they were tossing racial epithets and misogyny
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and sexism. I was surprised we weren't in the 1960s again.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I mean, we're going to, I mean,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: just people talking about certain other players in the sports
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: world that aren't like that. There's a certain kicker for
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs that gets compared to that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be talking about that in a little bit,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: but I think it's best that we begin recapping that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: week seven. And again, ladies and gentlemen, even though Brandon
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: is not here, we do have his thoughts for the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: game and we're going to start actually finally enough Nova.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: We're going to start with his game. The Chicago bears
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: defeating the new England Patriots 30 to 24. Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: On Thursday night football. And yes, we did alert Brandon
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: about this. He unfortunately was not able to watch it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Not because he couldn't, but because you know, he has
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to serve as the hire.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yep, he has to serve as the hire. And again,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: we respect his line of work. It is one of
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the best lines of work to be in. And Nova,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: blink twice if I'm saying this against my will or
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I'm being forced to repeat a phrase that Brandon is
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: telling me to say. I didn't want you to do
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: it for real! I didn't want you to do it
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: for real!
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I will burn your car to the ground.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Uh so Brandon's thoughts on this game is very simple
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is legit man looks solid on the field
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: and I'll agree with that I mean look I saw
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: what Caleb Williams did to Atlanta's defense and again I
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: mean it's Atlanta's defense I'll talk about Atlanta's defense a
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: little later in the show um But that one throw
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that Caleb Williams had, what was that? It was a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: third down, wasn't it?
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It was a third down deep in his own territory.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: He somehow threw a side pass that literally beat two
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: defenders that found Romo Dunzai.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: On the back shoulder. Like, that was hella impressive. Other
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: things that Brandon had to say about it, the Drake
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: May-AJ Brown connection is still struggling. Like, what the hell
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: is going on with AJ? Granted... He was only targeted
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: six times, so he caught half of them, but he
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: is dropping a lot of passes right now. I'm surprised
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: he's not wearing green and yellow.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I did make the Butterfingers joke last week.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you did make that joke last week. He
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: also asks, what happened to the Patriots' run game lately?
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, why is Drake Maynard leading Russia over Andre Stevenson?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and also had the only rushing touchdown too. And
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: then he said the Pats definitely have time for improvement,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: especially the next two weeks at Miami and home versus
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Green Bay.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, granted, they don't shockingly lose those two games
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: because remember, for some reason, the Patriots are always playing
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: bad in Florida.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're going to lose. I'm just saying
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: they have these weird games in Florida.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, it's Florida, and it's a Northeast team,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: especially this time of year. And actually, we're coming up
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: on the one-year anniversary of when I went up to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the Foxborough, Boston area. And honestly, Nova, if you ever
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: get a chance to go up there this time of year,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I would recommend it. It is gorgeous. It is absolutely.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: The parking will drive you up a wall with how
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: expensive it is. But the scenery of driving on I-95
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and the autumn foliage is worth it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, continuing with the Bears. About what I expected
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: from them. You know, I thought Caleb Willis would be
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the takeover of the game, and I figured he would
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: be the reason they'd win this game. Look at the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: receiving count. Luther Burton caught all four of his passes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: He got 130 yards and a touchdown. Colson Loveland's coming alive.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Romo Dunzey's becoming a safety net. Oh, yeah, and then
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the bad news. Colt Komet, I think, is out for
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the season. He injured his knee. Yeah, he is.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Now on the season-ending... injured reserve.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And also why is that number familiar for colt commit sets.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Oh come on now oh give me a break three
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: were 28 god damn.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: It hey i wasn't gonna if brandon isn't able here
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to do it i'm gonna do it for him.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Well brandon there you go bud Um, the other thing
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that I will say about this game, at least from
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: my advantage point, because again, Atlanta just came, just played Chicago. Yes.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Chicago pulled their starters.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Chicago had their brother backups in. Yes. Atlanta forced a
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: furious comeback. Yes, yes, yes. But at the same time,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Frickin' Kyler Gordon, man. What the hell in two weeks? Look,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: after the way the Bears defense has played the last
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: two weeks, I am not upset at how Atlanta played
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: against them now because these disguised blitzes, man, they were
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: getting even frickin' Drake May.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And Drake Mays, not even a mobile quarterback. He's just
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a pocket passer. And with the ability to scramble and run,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: of course. But, like, having a QB spy against a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: pocket passer archetype is, like, devastating.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's, like... It's just crazy with how... Like, look,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Kyler Gordon comes back from the Pup Bliss, and immediately
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the Bears unlocked something in their disguised Blitz coverages. Outside
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: of that, I mean.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Uh i mean malik muhammad not too terrible jalen johnson
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: i think jalen johnson i think he had what like
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: two penalties in this game or something like that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I mean probably in the team stats category.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Well they don't they don't say that in the like
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you actually have to okay that's a new england penalty.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You have to remember which point in the game he
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: had those penalties because um yeah i will say like
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: go in detail this game because of class, but I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was able to catch the tail end of the game
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: live somehow. And yeah, the game was rather close how
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: we all anticipated it. It's just that Chicago is good
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: against everybody, but except when they play divisional opponents. Don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: ask me why.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't ask me why either. I mean, I'm still looking.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: It actually doesn't even look like Jalen Johnson really did
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: much in this game. So maybe I'm just thinking about
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: a previous game that Jalen Johnson had. But, I mean, hey, look, Chicago,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: 5-2 now, leading the... Well, no, wait, I almost spoke
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: out of turn there. Almost leading the NFC North.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, even if they were matching the same record
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: as the NFC North leaders, their division record is 0-2, so... Yeah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: True. Well, let's see what happens... The next game that they... Yeah.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think New England's in a bad position. Yes,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: one and three in a row sucks, but let's be real.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Losing to Chicago isn't a bad thing, especially given the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: context of how good this Bears team is with Caleb.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially with how they're playing uh with caleb williams
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: now um and this is what we saw in week
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: one against carolina and for again look it's a brian
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: flores defense so um.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Where where where we get that oh oh when they
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: lost the vikings yeah.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah the the brian flores effect there um But, yeah,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't sweat on this if I'm a
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: New England fan, especially with who they're playing next week.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: If they lose next week, however, then you can sound
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: the freaking klaxon alarm.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Somebody's got to. Anyway, what happened in Paris?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, let's go to Petty. Bonjour, Supernova.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I somehow was awake for the second half of this game.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I was awake for it all. And I was just
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: praying in fantasy after DK Metcalf caught a 51-yard catch
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: and run that Aaron Rodgers was going to target him
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: in the end zone. And he targeted Darnell Washington.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you? He's a physical freak specimen.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Because I wanted fantasy points, of course.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Speaking of fantasy, I had to start Tyler Shuck again
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in fantasy, unfortunately.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Admittedly, that's not terrible, though. I mean, 30-38, 278, a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: touchdown and an interception. Not horrible, but what really is
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the catalyst, and again, I'm agreeing this with how Brandon
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: posted in his notes, Saints run game, 17 carries, 18
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: yards and three of them were the quarterback.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Assuming off scrambles.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: And when you take out the quarterback, you had 14
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: carries for 11 yards. Look, I can shit on new
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Orleans as a Falcons fan. I can, but I'm not
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: going to, I just feel sorry for you guys. Like,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I feel sorry that you have this horrible run game.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I feel sorry that the NFL had to send a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: horrible excuse of a football team. The only reason I
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: believe they sent you over there is because your fucking
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: logo is a fleur-de-lis. But, yeah, no, this is bad.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: even by new Orleans standards. Like when you factor in
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: guys like Reggie Bush was in that backfield, Mark Ingram
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: was in that backfield. Like Alvin Camara was too.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: And he did nothing.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: He had five yards rushing and 57 yards receiving. Now,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: granted he caught all seven of his targets, but.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I also regret that for me. I think Travis HN
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: is in IR too. So that's another bloated or run game.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not even going to factor in a Chan. Cause
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I don't even think he was doing much for new
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Orleans at the time of his injury. Let me, let
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: me just pull, let me just pull that up real quick.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: If I go to, I go to the stats on
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: new Orleans and we go.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Rushing right there. Oh, you're on country Miller.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be Travis agent. 30 carries, 128 yards.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: This is abysmal.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It also showed us the Saints' flies are really just one-dimensional.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: They can pass the ball really good, but they have
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: no run game.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, again, we've had my debates with Brandon
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: about Chris Olave v. Drake London. I still believe it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Drake London over Olave. But he also said that Aaron
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Rodgers still looks like shit, and there's not much to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: say about how bad both teams actually looked here.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, the Steelers are not going to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: be seen as a bad team because they're 5-2, and
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: they're comfortably second place in the AFC North. And that
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: might be because of an easy schedule, but it also
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: could just be the fact that they just have a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: high floor because of how decent players are. Another good
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: game for Jalen Warren, 100 yards rushing. Why can't we
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: see that more consistently? And Yeah, I think the thing
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: with the receiving room for Pittsburgh is it's like Aaron
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Rodgers has his favorites for every type of game. He
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: usually goes tight ends for red zone touchdowns more than likely.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: And if you wonder why I don't have much to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: say about the Steelers, it's just that I really don't.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: This just feels like a standard Steelers win.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Honestly, it kind of does. I mean, Pittsburgh is now
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: 3-0 against the NFC South this year because they beat
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Atlanta week one, even though, again, I'll still maintain it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I would have never picked Atlanta to win week one. Now, granted,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the way Atlanta's been playing the last couple of weeks,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: which we're going to talk about Atlanta momentarily, I might
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: have been crazy enough to pick Atlanta against Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh, but...
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Got to be real.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush was never going to do it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Cooper Rush was never going to do it. Jack Strand
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: was never going to do it. Tua wasn't going to
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: do it. Andy Dalton might've been able to do it.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was one in Pittsburgh before, but we
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: didn't have Andy Dalton at the time.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He was in Philly. Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Um, but other than that, I mean, what, what more
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: can you say about, about Pittsburgh? I mean, yeah, again,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: they beat Atlanta. They beat Tampa. They beat new Orleans now.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: All they had.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And then their other wins, I think were Cincinnati.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Because I know that one, because for some reason Cincinnati
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: never plays good against the.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, that dumps the fire.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And then they have to wait until Christmas to potentially
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: do what... What's his name? Mike Vrabel said last year
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: when the Patriots beat the Bucs in Tampa where they're
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the NFC South champs because they went 4-0 against the
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: NFC South.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: That's so funny to think about how much... the North
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: division seemed to be on fire and then the South
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: division seemed to be disasters.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I mean, we'll just stay with the
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: NFC South. And before we get into the one game,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: let's talk about the real shocker game. What the hell
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: was this?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: The only thing we knew is that Baker Mayfield was
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: back from a stomach injury. That's the only thing I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: got from this game before the score, but you.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Know, I don't understand it. I'm literally speechless. Now, again,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: the Bucs, yeah, they got Baker Mayfield back. Yeah, Baker
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: was wearing a custom-made glove that I think was just
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: a freaking baseball glove that the Rays decided to, you know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: make fun in Buccaneers colors or whatever to assist him
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: with his.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, with his hand or whatever, but yeah, I mean, look,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the guy, 7-Eleven, 7-Eleven? You might want.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: To go to the convenience store for something at this rate.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Uh, my Mandarin is not good. My Mandarin is not good.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you were talking about going to 7-Eleven
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: because he went 7 for 11 on his past attempts.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: No, I was trying to do that, uh, scene from
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Rush Hour 2 where they're interrogating, um, The one guy
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: at the Chinese restaurant that turned out to be the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: illegal gambling casino in the back. And the guy called
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Chris Tucker's... He called Carter, you know, 7-Eleven to Lee,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and Lee is like, 7-Eleven? And he was like, because
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: his mouth never shuts.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and... I don't know what happened to this game.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: All I know is that the defense for the Buccaneers
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: came alive for some reason. Special teams also came alive.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: that was pretty much like what I've come to know
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: what happened. It's like defense's special teams exploded on Carolina.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: As evidenced by a 26-point second quarter. If I'm not mistaken,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I read a stat about this. The Buccaneers are the
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: first team in NFL, or the first team since the
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: 2018 Jets, if I remember correctly. I think it was
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the 2018 Jets to have... a touchdown, a defensive touchdown,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: a blocked field goal for a defensive two-point conversion, and
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: a fumble recovery, a defensive touchdown in the same quarter
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: since the 2018 New York Jets. And guess who the
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: head coach was of that Jets team?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Todd Bowles. Yep.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Outside of that, I mean, look, Tez Johnson's touchdown catch,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I watched the touchdown, and Baker quacked it. And you
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: heard my voice crack when I said quack, because literally
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: it was a duck ball.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Oh man bucky irving another 100 100 yard rushing performance
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: yeah i mean 258 rushing yards brandon.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Said that He could have suited up for the Bucs
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: and the Panthers. Wouldn't have been able to stop him either.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Holy fuck, where did the Carolina defense go?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: They decided to revert back to week one for him
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: when he allowed almost 60 points to Chicago.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: But that's Chicago. Like, that's understandable with the way Chicago,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: because remember, Chicago, we're going to have the number one
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: scoring offense in NFL history this year.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile here, I don't think it's because of the Bucs offense. Yes,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: he got the two touchdowns from Bucky Irving, then the
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Baker to Tess Johnson touchdown. I had to think the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: game was won for the Bucs because of defensive special teams.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young looked like he was in hell that whole game.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, did he ever look like he was in hell.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: He was taking unnecessary sacks. He was looking like a
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: deer in headlights. I mean, the touchdown catch to Darren Waller,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I remember... I think I said it in our Discord
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: chat that I thought it was Tommy Tremble, and then
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it was Darren Waller.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: We've all been there. We've all been there.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've all been there. But, yeah, no, this was
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: horrible by Carolina. This is probably their burn the tape,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: throw it out, and we'll see you next time.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: On this.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, Does anybody want to win
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: this goddamn division?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Don't look down for the Falcons, mate.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's a good transition point. Let's talk about the
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons. Winners for the first time at home this year. Winners.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: This one shocks me because the 49ers were undefeated heading
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: into this game, and the Falcons were the first team
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: to knock off an undefeated, one of the three remaining
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: undefeated teams. Uh-huh.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: And let me just ask you this. Have you ever
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: heard of, or have you ever thought a loss never
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: meant less in an NFL game before Nova?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Depends on the contest, because remember, the Niners at this
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: point may as well be NFC favorites. or at least
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl representing
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the NFC, but the loss depends on how bad it was,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and to be honest, I mean, obviously there's some mistakes
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: with the 49ers, obviously Brock Purdy for two interceptions, I
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: think one of them was bad, and the other was
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: just a crazy toe-touching, if I could not confuse my
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: own words, toe-touch sideline catch by Jesse Bates, a couple
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: fumbles as well, and let's be real, if you have
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: four turnovers to the Falcon Zero, you're never going to
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: win that game. Yeah.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, unless you still control a time of possession
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: with the four turnovers and you mitigate, uh, the team
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: with the plus four and the turnover margin to, you know,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: punts or just field goals and stuff like that, not touchdowns. Um,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no. The reason I ask you that is
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: because that was fucking Emmanuel Acho's discussion about this game.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: He was like, never has a loss meant less than
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the San Francisco 49ers because they had no Mike Evans.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: They had no Nick Bosa. They had no this. They
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: had no this. They had no this. They had no that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: They lost Christian McCaffrey in the game. So, you know,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: he's making the injury card excuse.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I can't stand Otto sometimes.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to raise him with, or I'm going
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: to call him on the injuries. We had no Avion Terrell.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: We had no Divine Diablo. We had no Bryan Robinson.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: We had, we didn't know we were going to have
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Kendall Daniels. Z'Darrius Smith has been a little banged up.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: We had no Olamide Zaccheaus.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Ha!
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I just used that one to prove
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: my point. That might have just invalidated my claim there.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, Atlanta was banged up in this game too. Like,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and again, I will say, because you brought up the
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: two interceptions. The first one by Jesse Bates, that was insane.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I was just like, holy shit. He toe dragged his feet,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: which was incredible. The second one, man, Kendall Daniels. Look,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: when we drafted him, I didn't know much about him.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: But again, I don't follow college sports all that much, Nova.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I really don't.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: As evidence of the Archman thing last week.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: As evidence of the Archman thing last week, yes. But I...
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: I went and I revisited, or I remember when we
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: drafted Kendall Daniels, cause you know, like NFL network and ESPN,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: those sometimes give you images of the war room for teams,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: even on day three and all that. And I remember
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Matt Ryan being fired up that we got this kid.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, something's up with this. Like, why is Matt? Like, look,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: you're the president of football, all that, but you're getting
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: this excited. over a fourth-round linebacker out of Oklahoma. And,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, Nova, he had a fucking Madden user lurk
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: interception on Brock Purdy. And let's remember what happened with
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Kendall Daniels. Last week, it took three commercial breaks to
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: stabilize him.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: And now he comes back a hero.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm speechless. I'm just like every player
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta. They were like, this is the first time
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen this happen before. I mean, yeah, they
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: probably saw it before and they're just, and they're, you know,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: they probably just don't remember it. Like, you know, probably
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: happened like high school or maybe a college game or
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: probably peewee football or something. That's like way out of
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: their memory banks at this point. But I mean, again, Look,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I will say this. Michael Penix, man. He was great.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: He was insanely great against the Niners. Now again, look,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I will give Ocho a little bit of flack on the.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: You never give Ocho flack. No, you never do. Let's
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, most of what he said was horse shit
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: on his argument. Because, you know, oh, I'm so sophisticated
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: at this. But, look, let's be real. Even though they
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: didn't have Nick Bosa on their defense, was Fred Warner playing?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Huh, how have I not heard his name? How?
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Was Fred Warner playing?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, 16 total tackles, 6 solo, and 2 for loss.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Was Dre Greenlaw playing?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was. 12 total tackles, 4 solo.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Emmanuel Acho, your argument is shite.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Always has always will be.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that was just absolutely asinine. Absolutely dumb, dumb, dumb.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Almost as dumb. And I'm going to preface it with this.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: You people out there on Twitter are so goddamn stupid.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: It's not even funny. What the fuck, man?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: What did they say now?
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, apparently Atlanta in their throwback uniform and putting the
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: old throwback logo on some stripes. Oh, apparently it's Hail
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Hitler and Bird Reich and all this. And we're Nazis
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: like you have got to be absolutely fucking kidding me.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Never in my, look, I know I gave that rant
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: in week two. I know I gave that rant in
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: week two. I am not going that long. I'm not
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: going 21 minutes, but my God, the American society is
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Google and basic research would be your best fucking friends
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: right now. You idiots and plebeians on Twitter, because, You
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: look at that image, and the first thing you think
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: of is the living epitome of evil? We just talked
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: about North Korea at the start of this show. These
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: guys are worse. But evidently, oh, Atlanta must be like
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: them because of their throwback uniforms. Help me out, Nova.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Who is the owner of the Atlanta Falcons?
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to correct me if I'm wrong
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: about this because my memory is a little shady. Arthur Blank? Correct.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Do you happen to know what Arthur Blank is?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: No.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: He's Jewish. You idiots out there, you really, really think that... Again,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this will sound this... I'm trying
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: not to be. But you really think a Jewish owner
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: of an NFL team is going to co-sign his team
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: with that image? You really think that Arthur Blank didn't
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: co-sign on that picture? but you're calling for the social
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: media team and the graphics department team to get this
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: guy out of here or whoever is in that graphics
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: design team fired, turn sideways, assume the position, and for
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Falcons fans, say it with me, you can blow us.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Because that was so asinine. It took me, it took
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: every fiber of my being to not just go off
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: on people when I saw it on Twitter. It ruined
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: my Thursday night. It ruined my Friday. It ruined my Saturday.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Because people don't learn. People don't study. People don't research. Man,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: fucking TMZ and the New York Post. The New York
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Post has already been having issues alongside the New York
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Times because, again, and I'm not trying to delve into
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: a political tangent, but let's be real. Every freaking news
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: site out there in America, you say one thing wrong
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: and automatically you're fake news. I mean, is that fair
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: to say no, though?
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: It's actually just unfair because, as you say, the simplest
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: thing you can do is do your research and be like, oh,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: this is what they've been using for the longest time. Yeah,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it's just dumb overall. It's just personification of the fact
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: that people are just getting dumber and dumber and nobody's
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: doing anything about it.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you do basic research. The Falcons colors, they
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: were red and black for the University of Georgia. But
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: at the same time, University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, they
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: don't like each other. The owner of the Falcons didn't
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: want the original owner, by the way, Rankin Smith. He
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: did not want to alienate Georgia Tech fans, so he
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: added that gold stripe to pay homage to the Yellow Jackets,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: one of the most reputable schools in the nation. So again,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: you can blow us if you are that pissed off
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: about it, because it was... I'm not going to say
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: that word, because if I do, I'm automatically a problem.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: You know the word I want to say, Nova.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: You know the word. You said it before.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Well, if I did, I honestly don't remember saying it.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: I'd have to go back in the archives for that.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: But it was just stupid, man. Like, the worst part
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: of it was two people in our community and our friend,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: our fan base of the game that we love.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Man, even.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: They were going off on it, and the Falcons changed
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: their profile picture too. Like, come on, man. You guys
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: are horrible. Piss the fuck off on that.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: The one thing I will say is there's a reason
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing a Zentreya VTuber t-shirt today. And it's for
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: the same reason that Talon, as I said, is like,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I know people are not going to be familiar with VTubers,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: but I do enjoy watching Zentreya. And she received the
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: same treatment from one of her models, which sucks.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Like, it's just ridiculous. Like, again, basic research, people. You
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: do any kind of basic research. you would know that
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: it's not Atlanta's intention. Now, I'll give Drew Allen a
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: little bit of credit with his skit about this on TikTok.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: It was hilarious. But at the same time, it was just,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: you know, keeping on going off on that. And it's
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: just so dumb. It is so asinine. If I could
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: make other adjectives that I could remember already, I would
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: use them, but I will just end it with the
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: fact that it is a detrification to American society and
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Twitter society when people on Twitter are problematic. The New
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: York Post and TMZ report that it's our new logo, Nova,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: by the way. That's what they said. It was our
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: new logo. Are you kidding me? Yeah. They said it
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: was our new logo.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: They used it before.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Like that, that was another thing. It was.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Like the first thing you said, throwback uniforms. I'm familiar
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: with it. Yeah.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Like I don't understand. All I can say is like
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Evan Birchfield of the Falcoholic said, hashtag red helmet energy.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: The Falcons are now 15 and three in that uniform
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: combination since 2009. Maybe you should wear it more often. Ah,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: don't say that to D Orlando Ledbetter, formerly of the
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Atlanta journal constitution. Cause the red helmets, he hated us
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: going back to them even for throwbacks because it symbolized
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: a time of losing. Cause Atlanta was horrible. And then
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: red helmets.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: You want to see who else was with red helmets?
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: How about the Texans?
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's a good transition over to the G men
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: against the Houston Texans and Brandon wants to go first
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: on this one, Nova.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: What did he say?
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: He said, do we write our official J.J. McCarthy apology
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: letter after his fourth quarter performance last week and this
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: game against the Texans? Sure, he didn't throw a touchdown,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: but in five quarters of football, he has almost 500
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: yards with zero, question mark, turnovers.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not fun, Voldy. It's not fun to pick.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: He has not fumbled. He has not thrown a pick.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Sure, he hasn't thrown that many touchdown passes, but he's
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: going phenomenal. My first thing I will say is, has
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the Vikings held him back all this time?
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can co-sign on that one.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: That's just a question.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: That's not saying I'm right or wrong. I'm just saying
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: that's just a question.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I know, but that's not... I don't think I can
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: co-sign on that one, mostly because of the fact that
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell has been revered as a quarterback whisperer, and
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: whatever whispering he was doing for J.J. McCarthy was not working.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: But apparently all it takes is a hardball.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Apparently all it takes is a hardball.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: And also it apparently takes... I'm excited to be taking
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: an offensive unnecessary roughness penalty for some reason.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: That would... Again, we'll be talking a little bit more
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: about referees in a different game. But, yeah, Mike, Cam
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Scadaboo is known for trucking people. Like, that's a truck.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: That's an old-school Mike Allstott truck. Like Brandon said, I
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: don't know where the hell these refs were thinking. But
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: you hear, person of doubt, unnecessary roughness. Offense number 44.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: And you're like, I'm sorry. Unnecessary roughness on a truck.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I keep in mind. This is the day you got
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: the camp scatter. You got zero touches. And now John
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Harbaugh suddenly trust him again.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because like Mike Tomlin said on the Sunday
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: night countdown, Najee Harris spoke out and now he's unemployed.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. But yeah, this game went overtime. And I
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: think we got to start having a realization with the Texans.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, Maybe Brandon did have a point with not
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: buying Texan stock because this defense still continues to underwhelm.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my brother actually just dropped the Texans defense in fantasy.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're completely unreliable right now. It looked good
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: when you hold the Titans to three points. It looked
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: good when, who did they play last week? I think
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: it was the Colts, right?
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: No, the Jaguars.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Jaguars. I mean, you still gave them 31 points to
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars in London.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: And then they gave a 34, 19, 20, and 36. So, yeah,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening there. And you know what
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: the worst part is? CJ Stratton did not throw a
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: pick or a turnover. So it's like, it's less indicted
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: that they're losing because of the offense nowadays.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brandon actually said he's still not doing a
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: very good job of playing to prove himself after allegedly
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: being offered those crazy monetary... Because remember, he's betting on
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: himself this season. You might be close to crapping out.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Yeah, he had 1728, 153, and two touchdowns.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: No pegs, which is a good thing, but it's like...
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: gotta elevate if you're worth that 70 million dollar contract
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: and uh you may it's like he's doing good but
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: it's like at the same time he's not doing enough.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah he's really not too i mean 153 yards i'm
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: also just now noticing both quarterbacks threw the ball 28 times.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: And jj mccartney got the better end of it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah but also in like a heartwarming note for this game, man,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: how about Tankdale? How about Tankdale coming back after damn
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: near two years since that horrific leg injury happened? And
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: he's back, and he catches a 43-yard touchdown. Did you
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: hear how loud the crowd was?
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: It was a 43-yard pass. It wasn't a touchdown.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but, like, did you see how loud they
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: were for that?
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I actually didn't because I was paying attention to my game,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: but I can imagine it's a heartwarming one if it's
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Hank Dell. Yeah, so. And the other heartwarming thing is
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Ken Scadaboo because he had the game-winning 42-yard touchdown run.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had the 42-yard touchdown, and then Devin Singletary,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: the former Houston Texan, wins the game for the New
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: York Giants, who are now 4-2-1, and they're leading the
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: NFC East. Are they the team to beat in the
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: NFC East?
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, they are. They clearly are. It's no contest that
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: they're the team to beat. And the only team to
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: blame themselves for this is the Cowboys. Yep.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: And we will talk about the Cowboys in a little bit.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: But let's go to a different game.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: We have interesting choices.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: How about let's talk because we talked about one of
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: the undefeated teams falling. Let's talk about one that hasn't.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: fallen the minnesota vikings defeating the indianapolis cold 16 to.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: 10 minnesota's now the best team in football don't at.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Me uh brandon actually will at you because he says
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: minnesota has to be one of the worst six and
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: oh teams he's ever seen.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: You got it. I mean, yeah, the offense will give
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: you the reason for it, but they're still winning.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, they only have 10 offensive touchdowns
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: and they're six and up.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Brian Forrest is having to carry job of his life.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, if there's, I think there's an assistant coach
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: of the year award now, right?
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Is there? I don't recall there being one.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: There, there might be one of those. And if there is,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: I think we know who's getting it. Because if it
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: ain't Brian Flores, then who the hell could get it?
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Anybody not winning Brian Flores, because remember he lost that
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: lawsuit one time when he got fired by the Dolphins.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Even still, even still, like if you're getting a like
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: assistant position, I understand, you know, coach of the year
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: goes to the head coach. But if there's an assistant
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: coach of the year, the way that this Vikings defense
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: where they're blitzing 70% of the time on first down,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: they're blitzing 70% of the time on second down. They're
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: blitzing 70% of the time on third down. I think
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Brian Flores likes to blitz.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Your answer is.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: This was horribly unimpressive by both teams, evidently, but at
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: least the Vikings did it just enough to win here.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: I think also, correct me if I'm wrong, did Will
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Reichardt miss a kick? I think he did. Yeah, he did.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: He missed a kick in this game. And then, I mean...
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, Daniel Jones, man. I remember this, and
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with going on the record to say this.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: When the Giants drafted Daniel Jones, I actually defended him.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: I defended the pick. I said it might work out.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I was willing to give him a chance.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to stop you there because the
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: reason why so many, myself included, didn't like the pick
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't because we didn't think Daniel Jones was terrible, but
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: because he was drafted too high for his stock.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. But yeah, no, I was thinking that
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: he would work in New York. And yeah, he did
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: not work in New York.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: He had that one year, but that was just like
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: a one-hit wonder type of thing.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with Brian Dayball and everything. But yeah, no, I mean, Indianapolis,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I mean... You have 108 yards of passing, but you
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: netted 64 because you took 44 yards in sacks. Like,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: you averaged 11 yards a sack.
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: Jeez.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is not a good team in Indianapolis.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: All you can do is blame Chris Ballard. Thankfully, he's gone,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: but it's not– going to solve all the problems. Remember,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: you still don't have their first round pick because it's
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: a sauce gardener trade. That's Jets property. I will say
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: they have made a couple of moves at the time
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: of this recording. They traded away Quentin Nelson to the
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Seahawks of all teams. And they traded to Forrest Buckner
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: back to the 49ers.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Yep, that they did. And admittedly, Nova, that was what
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I was going to say when you were talking about
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: the Jets pick. I was going to be like, well,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: at least they have Quentin Nelson.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: They don't anymore because he's now a Seahawk.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Well, at least they have DeForest Buckner.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: He's back as a 49er.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Well, Jonathan Taylor might be next.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Well, we talked about Call of Duty at the start
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: of the game. I think I need to go my
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: demonic announcer because it looks like the Colts are going
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: to be having a fire sale.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, before we got started on it, the deadline
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: is nearing. So it's like if anybody needs a running
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: back and they try to trade for Jonathan Taylor. You
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: got to make a push for it, because if you
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: can get a first-round pick from Jonathan Taylor, that might
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: save you from that Sauce Gardener trade.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: It might. I mean, Jonathan Taylor's definitely worth a one,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. At worst, a couple of twos.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't be with that Sauce Gardener trade. But
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: speaking of which, guess what? I picked the Dolphins to
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: win the game, and I was vindicated for it.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Let's go. You were vindicated for it. on this one
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: uh let me check the notes uh where is the
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: note okay yeah um no brandon wants to go first
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: on this one uh man fuck both these teams no
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: nova the dolphins are still the worst team.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: In the league they are not they are not they
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: are not.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: No nova a win doesn't make them not suck I
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: didn't say they didn't suck. Who are half these Jets players?
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Who are half these Dolphins players? Why can't they both lose? Sincerely,
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: a Pats fan.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what every division rival hopes for, but
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I can't. I figured this would be the game the
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Jets would lose. I just didn't think it'd be this way.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: I thought it'd be like a random Miami blowout.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think we all did on that one.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Well....
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Because Brandon and I picked the Jets.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: What I was going to say was I was thinking, Brandon,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: when I read his notes about this game, that last line,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: why can't they both lose? He sounds just like Tom
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Grossy doing every NFL fan's reaction to the week. And
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: anytime as a division rival matchup, a third team was like, well,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: I was hoping for the meteor to strike.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: You got to hope that for the Jets because Aaron
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Glenn's done.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, is he done?
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: He's 0-8 division games.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Man, he is flatter than a five o'clock pancake fire.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I kept saying, you can't keep calling
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: for the Jets trap. And guess what? I was right
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: about it. You could never trust the Jets to do
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: anything right.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you would have thought they'd at least be
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: able to beat a winless team.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I knew this would happen.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, evidently you knew this was going to happen. But,
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, again, though, a win for the Dolphins. I mean,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: he is right there. A win for the Dolphins doesn't
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: make both these teams not suck.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: I never said that neither of them suck. I just
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: thought one sucked more than the other.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, we'll talk about a different team. Oh, wait, no,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: the Chargers didn't play this week.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're still 0-6, buddy.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: The Chargers are officially the worst team in football.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: If we're going by record, I would agree. If we're
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: going by overall, it's a coin flip. Whichever side you
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: want to take, I'm not going to argue with you
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: on this one.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: At least we thought you had a pretty good game.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: For Super 21, 208 yards, two touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Look at that. He had a Russian touchdown.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: And I honestly look. Congratulations, Miami. You finally get on
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: the wind. You're still a horrible team. You're still building.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: You're building something. Jeff has his first win.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: You're still going to hear very early in the draft.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: And the Jets are going to hear that. What is it?
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Three times in the first 20 picks.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: That depends on how the Cowboys do.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: True, and we'll see how they fare later on in
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: The year, but... Speaking of the other team that sucks,
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: how did the Titans play this one close? Because I
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: did say last week that they wouldn't be surprised that
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: this would be a randomly close game, but this was
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: just too close for comfort for everybody.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: It definitely was too close for comfort.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: I mean....
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Brandon's notes say he who shall not be named.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: The fact that he had another game winning drive is absurd.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Did the double magic transfer from the Broncos to the
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Browns now?
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: No, but the referee's missing a blatant false start on
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: the Browns preventing this game potentially from overtime. Yeah, no,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: that was as blatant a false start as I've ever seen. Like,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: And I know the referees, they usually give a small
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: inkling of leeway to like, you know, the offensive lineman
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: is timing the snap as opposed to a defensive lineman
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: timing the snap. But it's like very, very, very, very, very, very,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: very limited. This one was blatant. Like he was gone
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: before the ball was snapped and they let the play
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: go off. And then they tacked on an unnecessary roughness
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: penalty that put the Browns even more in the field
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: goal range to kick the game-winning field goal.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Was that the tackle to Harold Fannin Jr.? Or was
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: that to someone else? Uh.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: If we pull the field goal, it was....
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Five-yard penalty? Oh, that's the field goal one. It's not...
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: It wasn't there?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: Uh, maybe not. Was it on the... No, it wasn't
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: on that one. Am I missing?
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: This is perfect. This is perfect.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Did I? I guess. Well, okay, no, he had Harold
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Bannon to the Tennessee Knights. It was a 36-yard play.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: And then there was a defensive offside.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. because the only thing they could do was
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: try to time the kick and block it for force
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: overtime because of this is a frustrating one for Tennessee
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: for me personally I had Tony Pollard in fantasy he
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: had three touchdowns.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: He did have three touchdowns with again you posted in
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: our discord chat about it where it's like Tony Pollard
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: I'm like the fuck is happening in Tennessee right now he.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Had to be 35 points in fantasy alone.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, their 835 is a good number.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: However, he was the only bright spot because Cam Ward
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: had numerous chances to take control of this game, and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: he just kept missing passes over and over again, including
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: that game when we take that tying drive. That's where
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I told you about the third touchdown happened, where he
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: had a way to hook Cody Bellinger, and he's over
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: through him.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, you mean Daniel Bellinger?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, Daniel Bellinger. Why am I thinking baseball? I'm telling you,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger being a Dodger for a long time. I'm
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: not used to him.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: And also probably because at the time of recording, The
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: World Series is going on game four and the Rays
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: are actually winning. Yeah, but they're down 3-0 in the series.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: They are down 3-0 in the series. The series is
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: basically over at this point. Why did that just open
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: up on my phone?
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, but again, Cam Ward. It says
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: something when you had the game plan to work, but
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: you couldn't elevate your play. Just look at your stats.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: 20 completions, 31 times, 181 yards and a pick. Those
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: are average numbers, and we still need to have a
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: discussion of Cam Ward being one of the worst first
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: overall picks in recent memory.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, also, I'm looking at it, Nova.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: Cam Ward's QBR was 66.5. His rating was a 66.7.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: If only either.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Of those numbers were 6.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that would have been a good
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: thing if they were.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: 66.6, baby!
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I understand that.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: It's a meme story.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: It is for memes, and I'm also going to hit
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: that klaxon again because... Let's just bite the bullet. Have
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: at it, Nova.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this one because you've had a rant.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Brandon had a rant. I never thought I had to
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: make a rant, but here I am. I'll just read
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: a script by script and give my personal thoughts. For context,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I wrote this script about 20 minutes after the game
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: was over. When I tuned out of the game after T.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Higgins got to the end zone during the freaking collapse
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: of the century, I was that livid. I wanted to
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: slam something, but I was just disappointed and depressed at
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the end. You guys know about it. Brandon knows about it,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: but I have made a thousand word rant. And I
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: wrote it. I wrote 800 of these words in 20 minutes, Talon.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: He did, ladies and gentlemen. I can't confirm the 20
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: minutes he had 800 words. Now, I don't know. I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: don't know what's in this document. I'm just going to
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: sit here and enjoy the show.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Here you go. So here is code word for word.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: You want to know how depressing it is for me,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: a Ravens fan, to feel. Try having to deal with
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: all the four-quarter chokes that keep happening. What is this,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: like 22 since the new decade? It's been utterly pathetic
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: how little fight back this team has at any given moment,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: including what you all witnessed this past Sunday. What do
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: you mean the entire team quit at halftime? I don't
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: care that Tyler Huntley was the quarterback this game. He
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: was good that first half. I mean, you look at
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: the stat line. Sure, he had that screen touchdown to
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Zay Flowers that wasn't really his thing. That was more
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: of a Zay Flowers thing. But still, he was serviceable.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: That entire team gave up after everyone. 35 unanswered points
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: for the Bengals. After we had clamped Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: and T. Higgins. This is very inexcusable for an organization
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: that is vying to be a Super Bowl contender in
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: this window, and yet we cannot close out games. Dallas
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: somehow was the exception. The Tennessee game three weeks ago
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: was another sign that we were bound to blow another lead,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: which again, they got close to that game. They could
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: have won. It's routine at this point, and all it
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: does is fuel my anger that turns into depression. Marlon Humphrey,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: hooked beyond recognition, blowing coverages, missing tackles. He should be
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: gone with the sorry excuses he shared after the game
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: about not wanting to see Jamar Chase in coverage. I mean,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: you ought to listen to him in that hosting conference.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: He was checked out. He doesn't want to face him ever.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: That's sorry mentality. Mark Andrews. The personification of Payne, since
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: he had that stinker in the playoffs at Buffalo, consistently
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: costing us games no matter the situation. Brandon even knows
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: about this because of the whole Mark Andrews lateral fumble
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: thing during 79 football last year. Why did we choose
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: him over Isaiah Likely? In two straight divisional games, zero
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: points in the second half. I repeat, zero. Even Ed
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Reed is calling out the coaching staff for being terrible.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: And we fired John Harbaugh, who perpetually choked Gaze away
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: and failed to take any accountability for it. And he's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: thriving in New York despite the Kangstadaboo controversy. Our losses
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: this year were all chokes. To the Saints, Browns, and Bengals.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: No one shows up in the second half. And all
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: this leaves me is misery. Lamar's high ankle sprains a
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: failure by the general manager Eric DaCosta to address the
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum absence. A failure to have a plan to
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: win our centers to keep getting injured to the point
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: our rookie guard, Vega Ioane, has to play center. We
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: trade for Cam Juergens to address it, who was dealt
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: for more than Quentin Nelson's trade value. And Ioane got
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: hurt this Sunday with a knee injury. Oh, and he's
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: tried to fix this Olai for Lamar since 2022? It
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: is insulting that Eric DaCosta has failed to give Lamar
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: any sense of help. And that the best thing that
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: we can do is rely on the same people that
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: are successful looking at you, Mark Andrews. The fact that
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: all of you on social media, including you, Talon and Brandon,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: keep clowning us for all of it is just vindication
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: that the whole team is a failure no matter when
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: we make the right moves. Now it makes total sense
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: why the Eagles command this game didn't get flexed out
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: of Sunday Night Football because all of you want to
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: clown on the Ravens much further than we already have.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: I cannot, in good faith, Be happy knowing I get
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: all depressed outside and angry inside. And here's the thing.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: I do not believe even if Lamar Jackson was somehow
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: healthy for this game that we would have won this
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: game for how bad the defense played. Who was stopping them?
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Humphreys bad. Starks kept missing stack holes. Roquan, a linebacker,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't cover Tee Higgins if his life depended on it.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: And Nate Wiggins can't cover Jamar Chase forever. It's the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: same damn script every freaking year with this team. Check
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: in for the first half and look like a competent team.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: The Super Bowl contender we all want. Then completely check
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: out in the second half with almost everyone on the
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: roster acting like they are Deja Love pretending to be
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: NFL players. And the worst part? There isn't any effort
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: to fix these mistakes at all. The only people to
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: even care are Lamar, Kyle Hamilton, and Nemanja Marubike. You
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: can hear the boos at M & T Bank Stadium.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: You can hear it from other Ravens fans. We are tired.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: of the same old shit. Because at the rate we
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: are playing, we are going to finish last in the
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: AFC North with a losing record to boot. All while
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: this has been the softest the organization has ever been.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: Lamar can do everything he can to save the season. Hell,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: he's already been the best player in the league because
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: of all the problems within the Ravens organization that he masks.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Look at John Harbaugh, for example. But also, you need
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: to remember, this isn't a one-man team. We always die
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: in the second half. And the version of me that
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: was super happy when the miracle in Rio happened is
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: now completely gone. Replaced with a depressed supernova who will
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: more than likely never be happy with this team. even
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: if we win because of all the labels that keep
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: happening in the second half. Labels such as chokers, liabilities,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: and letdowns. I'm sick of it. I'm also sick of
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: what media groups like the Baltimore Sun and the like
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: are doing to paint the picture that Lamar's the soft one.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: I'd like it for you to try to play for
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain and then realize you shit-talked Lamar
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Jackson for absolutely no reason at all because he is
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: not the issue with the organization. It is a pure
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: personification of that even some of the fans are turning
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: their backs on arguably the best player the franchise has
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: ever had since Lewis and Reed. And for what? Just
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: to fill your entitled egos? I'm done with this rant.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I wish to not speak any further on this team,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: because I just checked out as they are. Pathetic, inexcusable, embarrassing,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: as that one Cowboys fan said, and sickening. I've about
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: had it all. Six years. Six years and this is
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: the norm? I don't care that this round was shorter
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: than Talon's. It had to be because all I have
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: is depressed and unhappy. What do we even do to
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: fix this team? Because it doesn't look like this team
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: remotely cares to be showing up in the second half whatsoever.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Fire Eric DaCosta. Let Jesse Minter build this team like
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: how man McDonald his.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: Well, that was fun.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Sorry about the bias. I couldn't hold back after what
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I just witnessed.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: Again, I mean... That was fun. I'll read Brandon's notes
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: about this and then I'll give my take on this.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, neither of you are safe because you guys
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: have been doing the same thing. Don't act like you haven't.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to preface this, Nova. This may be
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Brandon's ruffling the feathers segment here. No Lamar, Snoop throws
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: for 300 yards and only bags a single touchdown while
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: losing by 22. The Ravens are fine without Lamar. Okay.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: And he walked away. Okay. That was definitely a take.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: He is wrong and you know it, Brandon.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Again, I'm sure he does. But.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, no, here's what else he said, Nova. The
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: run game has disappeared for them entirely. I said at
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the season that the defense wasn't as
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: good as Nova thought it was under Minner, and this
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: is the one time I hate being right, but holy moly,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Iceboro came out slinging fire in the second half. I'll
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: just be honest, I don't think I've ever heard Joe
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Burrow called Iceboro. I thought it was Joe Burr. Um,
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: and he's It's almost like Minter said what Baltimore was
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: doing was good enough and then refused to make adjustments
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: while giving up nearly 150 yards to T. Higgins alone.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: But hey, at least Tyler Luke didn't miss.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: He was the least of the problems.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: The problem with T. Higgins was Marlon Humphrey. He should
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: be cut.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, again, you've been having your takes on Marlon Humphrey
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: and how bad he's been and how Andrew Wiggins has been. Oh,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: my God.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: You're being disrespectful.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Or am I wrong about Andrew Wiggins?
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Nate!
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: Nate Wiggins. Sorry, sorry. Andrew Wiggins, NBA, isn't he?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Maybe it's a good thing Brandon's not here.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Again, though. Again, the whole team died the second half.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: Everyone.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: And then, I mean, hell, we were talking about a
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: bad referee call. I'm surprised Brandon didn't bring that up.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Or you didn't bring that up. How does Boye Mafi
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: get knocked down into... a defender into an offensive lineman,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: and he gets penalized. What was it? I don't remember
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: what drive it was.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: It was in the first half. I remember it that much.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Let me check. Because Boyan Mafia is on the Ravens, right?
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Boyan Mafia is a bangle.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, then I'm looking at the wrong I was looking
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: at the wrong one. Field goal, let's see. Oh, yeah.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Justice Hill right end to Baltimore 20 for minus one yard.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: Penalty on Boye Mafe. Illegal low block. But he was
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: blocked into your offensive lineman. And he gets penalized for
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: illegal low block. And I'm like, what is going on
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: with these?
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Like, look.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: I've been around football long enough. You've been announcing football
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: long enough that we know there's going to be holding
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: on pretty much every play. It's just a matter of
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: how much holding there is. I mean, that's a pretty
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: much a given. But yeah, I saw that. I had
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: to watch it like three or four times and I
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: still don't know how the hell he got penalized for that.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: He was pushed into. Your offensive lineman. How is him
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: losing his balance and getting pushed in a penalty on him?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: And you wonder why we don't have reviews on penalties.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: They should. I did my master's degree. capstone paper on
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: NFL officiating six years ago I might add and I
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: called for the utilization of the sky judge back then
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: in 2020 I called for using a sky judge have
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: a referee in the boot if a flag is on
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: the field let them look at the replay first even
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: if the game gets a little extended on the broadcast
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: time If you get the call right there, then it's good. Now, again,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: only use them when a flag is called. Don't have
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: them call a flag on the field. Don't have them
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: with an IFB in their ear to the head referee saying, hey,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: there's a hold on 63 and you didn't throw a flag.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: You better throw a flag. Don't do that. Or like, hey,
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: There was obvious offensive pass interference here. Throw a flag. Like,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: we don't need that. But if there's a flag on
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: the field that Sky Judge needs to be contacted, they
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: look it over, they verify it, you have that chain
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: of command, and you don't have to worry about the
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: idiots in the Art McNally studio at 345 Park Avenue.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: Then you're going to remember the one time they tried
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: to re-preview penalties and barely even did anything.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: Well, that's just because they were idiots. They had no
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: sense of how to work that, in my opinion. But, yeah, no.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing that got masked because of Baltimore's
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: second half drop-dead play.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I feel for you, Nova. I
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: know you and Brandon felt for me. Well, Brandon a
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: little bit. uh, felt for me in that Carolina game with,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: with that ramp. But I, I take it that the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: therapy was worth it.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: It won't be because people are still going to hope
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: that here's the thing. Well, I need to reiterate this.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the best player in the scene. He's
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: masking our problems. The problems is like, again, I don't
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: have the Baltimore sun has been like reporting on people
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: turning their backs on Lamar. Like I don't get it.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: He's the best player since Ed Reed and Ray Lewis,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: and you're saying he's the problem?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. Look, the main thing that gets me,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: and then we'll move on to the late window games. Again,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: we talked about Lamar's injury. It was an ankle sprain,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: but it was an unconventional ankle sprain because it's neither
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: a low ankle sprain nor a high ankle sprain, which
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: just means that it's an ankle sprain. But you have
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: the ankle sprain and therefore you can't practice and then
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: you come out and you say yeah i had a
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: high ankle sprain when you said that it was neither
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: a high ankle sprain nor a low ankle sprain and
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: it was an unconventional ankle sprain have i effectively confused
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: and wove this pretzel correctly, Nova?
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even know anymore. I'm not even sure if
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I could have the same confidence. Everybody's reporting different things. Yeah,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Lamar's going to have the answers. At least he serviced
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: the ball.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: Or you can just go the Caleb Williams route. You
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: guys misrepresented what my injury was, so now you'll never
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: know what my injury was.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: He's injury prone massively. And the fact that I'm still
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: going to play as the race team, because we labeled
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow as an injury prone quarterback. And you don't
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: do the same thing with Lamar Jackson as a play.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Like what is wrong with you people?
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: I will fight back on that claim. They labeled Michael
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: Penix injury prone.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'll give you that one. Cause I think that one,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: I barely even see on social media. It's like, huh? Yeah.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: So I'll, I'll fight back on that one.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Um, my moral of the story is like we need
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: leadership we need some change and unless Eric Acosta could
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: make some changes I don't think he should be the
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: one leading the charge because you remember the Seahawks Mike
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: McDonald's first year he almost made the playoffs with the
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: old squad and he's like he redesigned the entirety of
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: the roster to fit his scheme and it worked that
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: he did if Jesse Minter can do the same after
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: this season I guarantee you we'll have different results.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: And also I mean again not to sound salty about this,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: but you guys really are Tua Tagovailoa, give me interception, which, again,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: is still one of the stupidest throws I've ever seen
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: in the NFL.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: Mind you, I think the Tyler Huntley pick was a
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: tipped pass.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: Probably was, but, yeah, no, I can make the argument now, Nova, and, again,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: you can disagree with this claim, But you guys really are.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: Tua Tagovailoa's stupid-ass interception that Kyle Hamilton was getting on
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: the sideline like a kid in a candy store. You
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: guys are that away from probably being winless since Lamar
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: got hurt.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the worst part because, again, Tyrell Huntley's a
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: backup for a reason. But all this does is prove
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson is an incredible talent. That's all that's proven.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would, I would agree with that, but you know,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: who is apparently a, uh, top tier talent, even though
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: he is not playing the quarterback position well to the
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: point where, uh, former quarterbacks on broadcasts are complaining about it.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Bo Nix.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Ah, yes. The good old mobile quarterback, Bo Nix.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: Yes. And, uh, Brandon wants to go first on this one.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: He said, Bo Nix rushing touchdown, which, by the way,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: 62-yard rushing touchdown, I might add. What the hell, Arizona? Like,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: you really let a 62-yard touchdown run happen to a quarterback?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: As I said, they're SoFi merchants.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: He said, miracles do happen. Bo still being allergic to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: throwing more than just simple checkdowns. Hell will freeze over first.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: And then he said, this game was the Trey McBride
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: show and my fantasy team thanks him for it. Cardinals suck.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: Trey McBride. Hashtag send tweet.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm just saying that Arizona
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: remains so far stadium merchants.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, not even just that Nova. The Cardinals have.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: And again, I am not trying to sound political here,
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: but it's just a funny ass coincidence. They host. that
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Turning Point USA in their stadium, and they haven't won
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: a game since in Arizona.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: Karma, am I right?
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: Evidently, it's karma. Yeah, no, I really don't have many
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: thoughts on this game. I mean... I mean, again, look,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix accounted for 295 total yards of the Broncos.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: How many yards did they have total? They had 377.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: But when you factor in the set, okay, so they
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: had 373 total yards when you factor in the sacks.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: And then technically, if you want to count the penalties too,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: like they were But then again, I mean, that's offense
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: and defense. You really can't add the penalty yardage against them. Yeah, no,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: there's not much to say about this matchup. I know
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: I had my complaints about it when I saw the
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: broadcast map that I got this game instead of the
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Baltimore game.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: Be glad you didn't. Just be glad you didn't.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, we'll say that I'm glad I did.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: At the very least, this was Larry Fitzgerald's retirement day.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, they ruined Larry Fitzgerald day. Yep, that sounds like
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. Also, I discovered that Jeremiah Love apparently is injured,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: so that would explain why Bam Knight had seven carries
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: for 48 yards.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, evidently Jeremiah Love is injured. I did not notice that.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: But at least for Bo Nix, I'm sure Brandon would
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: want this. Oh, brother, this guy stinks!
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: And I think it's only going to get worse. I
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: think I heard J. Lo Waddle also got hurt.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: Did he get hurt?
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: I heard.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: His status is questionable. Due to a chest injury. Fantastic.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: So you lose another good weapon. That's not going to help.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: No, you, you don't, you lose a weapon. That's not good. Anyway,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: we know what didn't help.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: The fact that the Rams went up 28 to three
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: under Raiders and survived.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? They went up 28 to three.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: God damn it. When will these teams learn?
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: At least the Rams team did learn and they actually survived. But,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: you know, we always have the 28-3 scares. By the way,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: what happened to the Raiders?
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, Brandon said Raiders walked into the season 3-0 and
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: now have lost four straight. But Kirk O'Janes is rightfully
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: so quarterback one because this is on that Raiders defense.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the fact that everyone's trying to rush Fernando Mendoza
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: to the starting lineups a little too soon.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why. I get he's the number one
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: overall pick.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: He's not fixing the defense.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: He's not fixing the defense. And also, it's 2026. What
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: happens if Fernando Mendoza has a shitty game in his
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: first NFL start?
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: How?
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: Nova over under 10 points. major like content whether that
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: be get up first take the herd first things first

• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: kimes show schrager's show like over under 10 of those
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: the first topic they're gonna have is fernando mendoza a bust.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you just slightly under.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably just slightly under. But at the same time, I.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: Speaking of bust.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: People are already labeling Ashton Gentry as a bust.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: I am. Hello. Like I said to my brother, I
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: was like, what the hell is going on with Ashton Gentry?
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: He's nobody.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: Like. you have receiving running back. That's not what he
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: was advertised as.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: No, he was a running back. He was out through the,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: he was like a straight line running back who could
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: occasionally take an outside zone.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: But all he is in the Raiders is receiving back. Yeah.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: And then of course the Brock Bowers show, cause you know,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: six for 73 trade Tucker five for one Oh three
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: and a touchdown. Uh, Yeah, no, I mean, I don't
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: buy that we need to see Fernando Mendoza anytime soon.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: And to that point, where's Fernando Mendoza? That says A.J.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: Cole. That's the punter.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: The punter!
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: On a fake punt, by the way.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: The punter had a pass. Now again, like Rich Eisen says,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: punters are people too. But yeah, no. This is just bad.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: And again, to play into our VGC experience, Nova, have
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: you ever been in a tournament like online or IRL
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: where you had seven rounds and you started 3-0 and
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: now you're 3-4 and you're like, what the hell just happened?
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, I guess that's what just happened. The Brewers just
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: tied the game.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. The Brewers just tied the game.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, speaking of this, I've never had a seven
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: round tournament go that way, but I have gone in
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: tournaments where I was like, I won my first three.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Then I go into top cut on a losing streak
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: and never recovered. Yeah. Um, You know who has recovered, though?
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: The Rams. Matthew Stafford, three touchdowns on the day. He
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: actually becomes the Rams franchise leading touchdown passer.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. By the way, Brandon, breaking news. The Rams
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: are still frauds.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think we need the Raiders just changing
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: that label.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: What else happened? Kyra Williams with a touchdown. Oh, Davis Allen,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Who had him doing that?
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: Uh... Not me.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: Usually you see that from the captain Tyler Higbee or
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: Colby Parkinson, never from Davis Allen. And you don't want
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: to know something else as well. The revolving room of
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: kickers for the Rams. Now it's Brandon McManus.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 2: It is Brandon McManus now, but it just goes to
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: show you that sometimes the, the, the kicker give it,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: then the kicker take it away.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: Puka way reception, 68 yards and a touchdown. Yeah. I
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: didn't think the Rams would win this game, but there's
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: always merit to a get-right game for the Rams. But
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about something that didn't go right?
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: How about the officiating in the Lions-Packers game?
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Oh, this was atrocious.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: It got so bad that Tom Brady, publicly on that broadcast,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: called out the refs. Or at least not directly, he
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: called out the call.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because, I mean, if he actively called out the refs,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: then I'm pretty sure as a partial owner of the
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: Vegas Raiders, he would be subject to fines from the NFL.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what the hell happened to this game? Also, I
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: think even despite the ref ball, the Packers beat themselves.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: I would agree with that. I'd probably co-sign. on that one, because,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have multiple drops. They lead the league
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: in drops with 18.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about this last week, too.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: Their kicker missed two field goals from inside of 35 yards.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: Trey, smack it to the right.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: And technically, the second one was smacked to the right.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: All while Josh Jacobs finally came back off the commissioner's list,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: and he did kind of nothing.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he did have a touchdown.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 4: Um as a receiver yeah and then aman raw had
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: nine for 153 but no touchdowns uh yeah again.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: Green bay lost this game by three points and they
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: missed two field goals so you can make the argument
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: they should have won by three points uh And this
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: game makes Brandon question whether he actually knows anything about
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: football or not because, holy shit, Green Bay is fixing
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: to trade for a kicker at this point. This is
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: a joke.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: Do you think they're still fishing for Jonathan Taylor?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know about Jonathan Taylor, truthfully, but.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: Also, who had their lion's deepest pile showing up for once?
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: Because I didn't.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I didn't either. And all I can say about this,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: and again, look, it's been hammered to shit about this.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: You let it in, Nova, but let's talk about it.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: My God, were those ref calls horrible. The roughing the
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: passers were stupid. The intentional grounding was moronic. The unnecessary roughness.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: The guy was catching the ball. He dropped the ball.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: He turned around. He gets hit. Like, oh, my God.
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: Think of the defenseless receivers. Man, these people today. Again,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: remember how I did that rant about Atlanta with the
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: throwback logo?
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: We have another one here. Because, again, remember.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: All I'm going to say. You have his jersey hanging
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: in the back of your camera. You really think they
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: were going to throw an unnecessary– oh, wait, my bad.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: That's Terrell Suggs. I keep forgetting Ray Lewis is 52.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: But same principle. You really think throwing over the middle
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: of the field with either Terrell Suggs or Ray Lewis
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the field? Nova, would that be
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: a smart idea?
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: No, because they'd take your fucking head off. Like, this
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: was bad. It was all-time bad.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Again, so bad to the fact that Tom Brady had
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: to call out one of the penalties.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: It got so bad that the freaking Lions on that
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: last drive where they got the game-winning field goal, did
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: you see that people were actually going out there and
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: they were, like, playing the freaking Peanuts Christmas song on there?
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 1: I actually didn't.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, it was hilarious. They were literally doing the, like,
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: all of them were, like, some of them were, like,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: you know, dancing because, you know, they get the first down.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: And then you see Jameer Giz, he's just toe-tapping while, like, he's, like, toe-tapping,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: walking in place. And next thing you know, like, people
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: are just posting it out there where it's, like, the
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Charlie Brown Christmas thing. I'm going to send it in
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: our personal Discord call so that way I... I can
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: show it to you. Charlie Brown Lions. This one will
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: be easy enough to find it.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, with this win, the Lions are suddenly back
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: in the NFC North race.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: They are suddenly back in the NFC North race. And again,
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: all the teams in the NFC North, I mean, they
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: all have winning records. So take with that what you will.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, except the only problem is that the Bears have
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: the 0-2 record on the division.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bears still own this division. The Vikings are
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: still around. And yeah, now we move on to the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: Sunday night football game.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: Why was this the game the dark side defense finally
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: shows up?
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Brandon's notes. I'm just going, let me try
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: and break out a country accent for this one. Fuck you,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: my home. Mid-ass quarterback and Seattle proved it. Can you
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: tell he hates Mahomes anymore?
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: Dude, we've been 14 episodes in. He's made it clear.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's made it clear. No air game, no rushing
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: game for Kansas City. Seattle defense finally remembered how to
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: play football, and I've never been so thankful for it.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: JSN did JSN things. You know he's got 200 more
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: receiving yards than the next closest player?
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: I see a difference of 106. I saw it.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: Was like.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: I was on the scoreboard. I'm not sure what his
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: context is.
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And he said... If he's referring.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: To the Seahawks roster, then yeah, I'd probably be convinced.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: No. Hold on. Let me pull up... He's got 867
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: receiving yards. And when it comes to wide receiver, I,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: I know it's, uh, yeah, he's got two, he's got
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: 216 more receiving yards than the next closest, which is
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: CD land.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, Hey, Chris, a lot of Drake London and say
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: flowers are all on the top five.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But a lot of, they still, still not better
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: than Drake London.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: You are never going to let that go. Are you?
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: I am never going to let that go. I'm never
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: going to let that go.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: But you know who else is not going to let go?
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker not getting the revenge dagger. He was held
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: to 36 yards.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: Just goes to show you that when your former coach
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: knows how you run and knows your tendencies, it's pretty
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: easy to stop you.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: It's also pretty easy to stop you when you actually
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: have a defense that you can design. I'm looking at you,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: Eric DaCosta.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then also, I mean, look at Sam Darnold.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 2: No sacks in this game.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: He had the horrid pick in the end zone, but
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: he made up for it because Harrison Bucker, have yourself
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: a day. You missed two field goals, including a 59-yarder
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: that went short. Yeah.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: Look, irrelevant of the Harrison Bucker missed kick, and I'll
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: read Brandon's notes about that. The fuck was that throw,
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold? What, were you seeing ghosts again? Yeah. back
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: in New York?
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: I think we've been saying that for the past four
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: weeks of Sam Darnold.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: Well, that was a horrible throw. Throw the ball away
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: at that point. you have your two guys and also
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: that was another stupid play design how did Rashid Shahid
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: and JSM both end up in the same place at
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: the same time where they both run into each.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: Other who's the who's the OC for the Seahawks no
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: I forget um.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: Who is uh would it be I think I go
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: to the roster right then you can Now that's practice squad.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: That's injured reserve.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: We might need to Google this one, but yeah, 20
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: to three to final dark side defense shows up. Seattle
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: shows up, but again, we still have the concerns for
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: Brian Flory.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: Brian Flory. That's his name.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: He's feeling the pressure that Kevin Patula did in Philadelphia. Like,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's doing as bad as Patula, but like,
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: It's up there.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the final note, because you brought it
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: up with Harrison Butker, Nova. Brandon thinks Kansas City also
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: needs a new kicker at this point because he's manifested
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: hatred on himself, and it shows because now he sucks
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: at kicking a ball.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: Just like he who shall not be named.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: Just like he who shall not be named. But let's
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: end week seven by talking about the Cowboys, and Nova
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: take it away on this one.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: Where did the Eagles defense go? That's the only thing
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: I'll say. Where did they go? They also pulled out
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: the Dajon Love thing, where it's like they pretended to
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: be an NFL defense.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know where they went. Um.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: Granted, I think their injury room is still pretty up
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: there in the defensive side. I don't think they had
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: Jordan Davis. But how do you let Javante Williams get
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: up where 150 yards rushing?
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: Big holes.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: Just like how Jerry Jones said what holes he likes?
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: If you know, you know.
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: Dak Preston, I gotta say, Dak Preston had a pedestrian game,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: 2-12 with three touchdowns on 15 completions. Including the toe
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 1: drag snag to George Pickens. Not sure if you saw that.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely saw that one to Pickens. That was impressive.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, Brandon's notes were this was definitely not a
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: Philly disappointment game. They're in a rebuild now, especially after
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: the loss of Jalen Hurts.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: I said that before, and I'll say it again. Tanner
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: McKee is not the same quarterback as Jalen Hurts, but
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: he was serviceable up until that DeVarion overshadowed interception. Like,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: he just jumped the route.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: In all fairness, I agree with that because I had
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 2: to watch that play like three or four times. And
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Tanner McKee was doing on that throw.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: Cause it was absolutely horrible decision to overshown was in
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: front of him the whole time. You don't throw a
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: speed out when the defender is in front of your receiver.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: He is lucky. That wasn't returned.
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I also think I had informed from a couple
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: of my colleagues, uh, Tanner McKee used to be at
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Corona centennial. So, uh, There's my, there's my local product.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: Shout out, shout out there. Yeah.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: Um, and then I guess the final note about this game, uh,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: Brandon said, maybe this is what gives the cow girls
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: a spark back in their step until they play the
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: Niners in three weeks, because they have a bit of
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: a break with Arizona and Indy coming up.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: I would not just like what Brandon said with the
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 1: text and the stock, not buying it. I wouldn't buy
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: it yet until we absolutely know for sure, because, uh,
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: You never know what kind of Dallas thing you get
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: every week.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, all we got to do is listen to
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 2: Jared Jones.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: Talk about all them holes.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 2: Yep. Talk about all them holes. But before we talk
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: about our week eight predictions, Nova, let me just take this.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: And why is this? There we go. We have the
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: Barstool Big Cat Week 7 Power Rankings.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: And rightfully so. The best team is at the top.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 2: Yes. And the tag will use their deep ends to
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: skull fuck you and question your existence.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: Like when they did to Chicago, for example.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: Then we have Super Bowl contenders, the Niners, the Jags,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: the Bills, the Bears, the Seahawks, the Broncos, the Pats,
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: and the Lions.
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: I hold my breath on Detroit, personally speaking.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: I hold my breath on New England.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, you better be happy Brandon's not here.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he would agree with me, and then he'd
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: be like, I'm holding my breath on Denver.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Surely.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 2: It was only one loss, but is everything okay? The
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. But the question more
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: so is like, was that just Seattle's defense doing a
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: good camping job? Or is it a cost for them?
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: Because they have a very important game next week.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: They definitely do. Next one. Second best division in football
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: led by where the Cleveland Browns. I know you are.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: Again, this is an indictment on the division. It's not
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: just the Ravens. It's also the fault of the Steelers
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: and the Bengals.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: Yep, very true. Lurking, the LA Rams.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: Actually, that makes sense. They're lurking. You never know what
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: you get out of them.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 2: On this computer says there were some questionable flags on Sunday.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: Where's the lie?
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 2: Looking, looking, yeah I don't see any lives detected.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: Because I do.
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: Next up 18 artists formerly known as nine McCarthy and
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: the Giants yep next up lurking because the NFC sucks
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 2: I mean he's not I mean the computer's not wrong I.
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: Mean the same thing with the Rams like you gotta
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: know what you're getting from the Cowboys in order to
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: really think of them as good.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: Next up, Fun and Frisky. I mean, not wrong.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: Who is that?
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's some team. I mean, it's a bird logo,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 2: so it'll be interesting.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for those of you who are at home and
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: says you don't have the screen in front of you,
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: he's referring to you. Atlanta Falcons is Fun and Frisky.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Next on the list.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, we went up for some reason.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: Went up for some reason. Fun and frisky sometimes. The
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: That sometimes is doing heavy lifting.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: Going to win the NFC South. Just watch.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 1: Watch this be the reason Todd Bull saves the Tampa
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: Bay job.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: And watch the Bucs fans erupt in the streets.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: Both good and bad.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: Next, might be time to just admit they suck, the Texans.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: I got to say it again. I think a lot
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: of it's not even CJ Stroud's fault.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're on a bye this week, so we
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 2: don't have to worry about watching them. Next up, still
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: life's greatest mysteries. Is Bo Nix good?
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: Where's Amelia Earhart? Who shot JFK? Where is the G spot?
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: And airplanes.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: Why? I never understood why the planes are there. Like,
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: were there accidents with them?
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: Something like that. I think there's one that, oh, there's
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: an exploded plane. Next up. Fired.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn and Shane Steichen.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: Or is that, or is that Chris Ballard? Oh, wait, no, no, no.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: That's not Chris Ballard.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah. So Colton jets with their head coaches next
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: season from hell, the Eagles and the OKC thunder.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: For context, Jalen Williams, a friend of Oklahoma city thunder
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: had a devastating injury against the LA Clippers.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: That was, that was so bad that, That was horrible,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: that injury.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: Granted, I think they'll be fine because Shea Gilchrist-Alexander is
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: an MVP-level talent, but that's a brutal loss of half
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: of the Thunder.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: Isn't he a rookie, too?
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: No, Jalen Williams has been around for, I think, five
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: years now.
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 2: Shows my NBA skills. history and knowledge.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: Next.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: Fuck Michael Bidwell. Hashtag Bidwell out. Well, I mean, Brandon
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: had a hashtag send tweet. There's a, there's a tweet.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 1: That's the Cardinals owner. Yes.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 2: Next, what a football game. Fuck yes, the Miami Dolphins.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 2: All right, Nova's happy about that. Next, why are we
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 2: game at a great time? Because they're not very good,
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: I swear to you, if they somehow win Sunday Night Football,
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: we might have discussions again.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we might have discussions again. Next, the obligatory cannons.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, we got this out.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: Next.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: Bad.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 2: The Saints and the Raiders. I agree with this one.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 2: No bias there, right, Nova?
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: I think there is.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 2: What gave it away?
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: The fact that you said the Saints. Yep.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: Next. They've gone from dog shit to just bad. Bids
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: except in the rebuild. The Tennessee Titans.
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's always an important step of a rebuild. You
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: got to know where you're good and you got to
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: know where you're bad.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 2: This is very true. And last, the NFL was a
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 2: better place without him playing football on Sunday. The Los
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 2: Angeles Chargers.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: At some point, you got to add a Justin Herbert
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: picture to that frame.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to add a Justin Herbert.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: I still stand by saying that the Chargers is the
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: worst team in the league.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 2: Again, you can make an argument for either side, and
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't disagree with either of you. But let's
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: start talking about week eight with the predictions. Now, I
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 2: have Brandon's picks all written on the page, but I
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 2: will mention who he picked. And also in the picks...
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 2: Brandon is 56-50-1. Nova, you are 60-46-1. And I am 64-42-1.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: And what was the week six, seven, what was the
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: week seven score for the predictions?
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 2: Did I count those? I mean, I know the Philly
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 2: game had me win. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Uh,
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: I really went, I think it was a 15 games
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 2: last week or four, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: I went, I went 50% in week seven. Yep. Hey, man,
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: that would have been the perfect time to have a,
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 2: a slot sound on the soundboard.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: Didn't even think about that. But let's start Thursday night football.
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers at the Green Bay Packers.
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: And a reminder to all of you at home, the
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: Packers lost to this team last year at Lambeau Field
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: as double-digit favorites.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: And now they're only three-and-a-half-point favorites.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: The question I have is what Panthers team is going
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: to show up?
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 2: At this point, I'm starting to question it, too. And
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take Green Bay. I'm going to take
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 2: the Holton team.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: See, the reason I'm thinking about this isn't that I
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: don't think it's an obvious pick, but it's more so, again,
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: which Packers team, which, no, excuse me, which Panthers team
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: shows up?
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I know it's going to be tough. Like,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: if the Panthers team that showed up, even though they
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: lost by 22 to the Bears, but then came out
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: and won by 31 against.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: Atlanta shows up. That team can beat anybody.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say that Packers win, but I imagine
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: this is going to be close.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 2: I can see it being close. Next up.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: What was Brandon's pick?
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 2: He picked Green Bay.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: Next up, my Atlanta Falcons at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: Here we go with another divisional game that we might
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: not have an idea of who wins because divisional rivals
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: hate each other and for some reason play differently.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 2: Can I fight back on the notion that the Bucks
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: are a division rival?
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: They're both in the NFC South.
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: But they ain't a division rival. They're a division rival,
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 2: but they're not a division rival.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 1: In what sense?
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: The Falcons' win percentage over the Bucks, I think, is
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: like Like, hold on. Falcons win.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: Didn't they lose to them at Raymond Chase Stadium last
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: year at Thursday Night Football?
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: Because I remember that.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: No, last year that was.
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was the other way around. That was the.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: Third and 28 game. And also, I'm looking at it.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: The Falcons. Okay. Actually, maybe it is a little bit
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 2: closer than I remembered. They played 65 times. The Falcons
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: lead the series 33 to 32.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: Jeez. I'm picking Atlanta, though. I'm picking Atlanta to barely
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: come out on the win.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 2: I am also riding with my Falcons in this game.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: And Brandon is also riding with Atlanta. Next up, Baltimore
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 2: at Buffalo.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: You want to know something?
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: Every time one of us had a rant on our team,
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: they immediately win the next week. It happened with the
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: Falcons against the Packers. It happened with the Patriots against Buffalo.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: Does it happen again with the Ravens and the Bills? Jesus.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 2: That'd be pretty fun if it did. I didn't even
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: catch up on that.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you ranted about the Falcons. They beat the Packers.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: Brandon ranted about the Patriots. They beat the Bills. Interesting.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think of, I didn't even catch that.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: Because seriously, I want to pick the Ravens so bad,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: but if they're going to die in the second half
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: like every other time, I have no faith.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, but also I think Lamar returned to
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 2: the practice field.
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: He was in practice last week and he still wasn't
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: able to play.
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, give it one extra week and then, you know,
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: you show up for this game. And I think you're
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: going to have Jim Nance and JJ Watt on the
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 2: call for this one.
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: That's if they don't have a 425 window on CBS.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: We can actually check that right now.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 2: I have it up right now. You're getting Ian Eagle
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: and Ross Tucker.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: Okay. Can we check the 425 window and see what
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: network is it on? Okay. So it's a CBS doubleheader. Gotcha.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: Yep. Look.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: You know what? I'm going to call it. I'm going
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: to call the rant curse. I'm going to kick Baltimore
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: to win on a last second field goal.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 2: All right, Nova's riding with Baltimore. Brandon's riding with Buffalo. And.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: Because remember, the Buffalo Bills defense is not good.
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 2: No, the Buffalo Bills defense is not good.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: So if Lamar Jackson plays, this is going to be
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: a shootout.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 2: That's my thing. The fact that I don't know if
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 2: Lamar is playing is why I'm going to take Buffalo
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: in this game. But if Lamar was playing, I probably
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: would have picked Baltimore. And, again, I already used my asterisk,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: so I can't use a second one. That is the rule.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 2: You get the one asterisk and use it wisely.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is why I'm not using it in this game.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 2: I don't blame you for using it in this game.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: Next up, Tennessee at Cincinnati. Well, I think we're all
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: picking Cincinnati.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: Well, as long as it's not a random track game
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: for the Bengals, yes.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon's got Cincinnati. Next up, Arizona at Dallas.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: I need to put on a better reminder. The last season,
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals beat the Cowboys.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: In Dallas on Monday Night Football. I remember that game
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: because my brother and I were flying home from Boston
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: that Monday night, and we saw the block punt. And
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: didn't the Cardinals, or was it the Cowboys? I think
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: it was a Cowboys player, right? Didn't he pass away
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: like two days after this game?
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did. It was a Cowboys player.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: Give me Dallas on this one. At least I have
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 2: a quarterback.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: See, my thing is like, does it happen again? Because
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: history doesn't repeat itself a lot.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: And also, I'm just throwing this out here. This history
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: doesn't repeat itself a lot in Dallas. $ 27.
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 1: I imagine those are the seats that we were talking
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: about two weeks ago.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 2: Probably something like that.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bet the Cowboys to win, but I
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: swear to God, if history repeats itself, we're not going
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: to hear the end of you.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: Probably not, and we're probably not going to hear the
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: end of it with Brandon either because, you know, he
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 2: picked Dallas for two consecutive weeks. He picked the Cowboys.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: This is a show, again, I think the Cardinals are
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: just SoFi merchants, but at the same time, what are
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: the odds history repeats itself that the Cardinals beat the
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: Cowboys at AT & T Stadium again?
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 2: Probably low in this case next up minnesota at detroit
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: oh that's that's a game and also look at it
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: minnesota is three and oh on the road i mean
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: yes they're undefeated so naturally they're gonna be undefeated on
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 2: the road but the lions are undefeated at home so
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: something's gotta.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: Give and the thing is gonna give is It's the
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: Lions offense. I think Brian Flores bullies him to a
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Viking 7-0.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ride with that defense too. Next up.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: What did Brandon pick? The Lions?
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 2: No, he picked Minnesota.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: Next up, Las Vegas at the Jets. Brandon picked the Raiders.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: I do too. This is their get right game.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking the Raiders in this one. Next up,
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: Cleveland at Pittsburgh. This is a game.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: That Pittsburgh wins.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: Brandon said Pittsburgh wins because of some home field magic.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: I'll have you know, I think the Browns home road
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: record at Accrister Stadium is very low.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Browns record in Pittsburgh.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: Because I know it's super low.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: The Cleveland Browns... Well, this... Okay, let's factor... Okay, I can't...
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 2: I think the.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: Last time the Browns beat Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh was that
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: playoff game.
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: Let's see. The Browns are actually on a five-game losing
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: streak in Pittsburgh. And yeah, actually... The last time they
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 2: won in Pittsburgh, Nova, was my seventh birthday in 2003.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 2: In the regular season?
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, that's actually disturbing.
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 2: Give me Pittsburgh after that, after reading that.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if your own win was in the playoffs, there's
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: something wrong.
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You said you're picking Pittsburgh? Yes, I am.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: Because again, the Browns never really... The Browns do bad
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: at Akershire if it wasn't for that playoff game.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man. I'm even looking at the history of it.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 2: So the Browns won the first four times... Actually, no.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 2: They won eight of the first nine times they played
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh and actually went 8-2 in the.
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 3: 1950s.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 2: Then went... Let's see, that's 69. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 2: 7-3 in the 1960s.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 2: Four wins between 1986 and 1989.
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 2: Losses again from 1990 to 1995. And actually one of
• 2:01:53
  Speaker 2: them was a playoff game. January 7th of 95 and
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: then November 13th of 95. Then the three years that
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 2: the Browns became the Ravens and they didn't have a team.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: And they've only won in Pittsburgh three times since becoming
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 2: the new Cleveland Browns.
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: And is that including that playoff win?
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 2: That is including that playoff win.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: Well, the more you know.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this one screams Pittsburgh. Next!
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, give me the Jaguars for this one. This is
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 1: no brainer.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Colts and Jags. It's an easy Jacksonville pick.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: And this is even because the Colts suck. The Colts
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: have not won in Jacksonville since 2014.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they also just started a fire sale, so...
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: Do we really think they're going to beat the Jaguar?
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 2: I can see him covering that spread. I can see
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: it being a backdoor cover. You know what I said.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: Spreads reaching closer to double digits. It is super easy
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 2: to cover those.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is. All right. Next. The battle for LA.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: The Rams.
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: Rams.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 1: You really wanted me to pick the worst team in football?
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: You're never going to see me do that. I'm picking
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: the Rams. It's their house. It's not the Chargers' house. Yeah.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: What did Brendan pick?
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: He picked the Rams. Next up, Kansas City at Denver.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 1: This is why I said this is the most important
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: game for the Chiefs.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 2: So you're picking Kansas City?
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 1: I'm picking Denver. Denver.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, you and I are in agreement. Brandon is lone
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 2: wolfing it this week. He is riding with Mahomes.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: And that should tell you he does not trust Bo Nix.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not trusting Bo Nix either, but I'm
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: not trusting that Chiefs defense.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: I'm trusting this Bronco defense to clamp Mahomes.
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't trust the Chiefs defense.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 2: Next up, New England at Miami. Brandon has his Patriots,
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 2: and so do I.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: But does it happen again?
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I really don't. Not the way.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: I think New England will win, but I swear to God,
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: if this is the start of the Dolphins' win streak,
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 1: we might have problems.
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 2: True. The Sunday night game, Philadelphia.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: Which was never flexed.
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 2: Which was never flexed, despite having a Chiefs-Broncos game, which, again,
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: if you put Jim Nance and J.J. Watt, if a
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: team or a broadcast company is giving you their A-team,
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 2: that's telling you right then and there, we are not
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 2: letting you flex this game, NFL. Kick rock.
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: For some reason, the Eagles do not do good at
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: Washington for some reason, but I do think they... Actually, yeah,
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. I'm going to pick the
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: Commanders to win. I trust Jaden Daniels more than I
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: trust Tanner McKee.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 2: Same. Same. And Brandon also picked Washington. And then the
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: Monday night game.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is the game of the week.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: This is the game of the week. Bears-Seahawks. Brandon's got Seattle,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 2: so he's riding with the home team.
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 1: I'm riding Seattle, too. As much as I think Caleb
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: Williams is a talent, if there's any way I can
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 1: stop him, it's Mike McDonald.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? I'm riding with Caleb Williams. I'm
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: riding with Chicago. I have a lone wolf that week,
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: and that just showcases that we differed on Baltimore Buffalo,
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: Kansas City Denver, And Chicago, Seattle. So we shall see
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: how week eight fares, ladies and gentlemen. But that is
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 2: going to end episode 14 of the Ruffling the Feathers podcast. Again,
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 2: we missed Brandon tonight. We really did. But he was
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 2: here with us.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 1: For better or for worse.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: For better or for worse, we missed Brandon. He will
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 2: be back during our next recording session. And honestly, I
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 2: look forward to seeing how week eight is going to
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: go because, again, there is some crazy shenanigans that could
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 2: be going on in the NFL this week. It's a
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 2: good thing none of us are Cowboys fans, though, because
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we'd have another rant if one of us
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: was a Cowboys fan and they lost to Arizona.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: But also, here's the bigger question to ask. Will the
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 1: rant curse continue? Uh, maybe. If it does, we actually
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: might have a serious discussion about our rants being superpowers.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that. But ladies and gentlemen,
• 2:07:02
