- 1:03So yes, I was in St. Louis for like four or five
- 1:07days. It was pretty cool. Had the had the best
- 1:11ribs of my life. Had some of the best Italian
- 1:13food I've ever had. I can see why people live
- 1:16there. But I also, you know, don't really understand.
- 1:23Why you would live there at night? So I'll just
- 1:28leave it at that Anyway, let's say hello to the
- 1:32gents. How are you Chris? I'm good. Good good
- 1:36to be back with the fellas Glad you made it back
- 1:39from the Sunshine State. Well, it's always good
- 1:42but But yeah excited to be back. I mean, yeah,
- 1:47it's that time of year not a whole lot's going
- 1:48on just the grind of baseball season Got hockey
- 1:54and NBA playoffs going on. That's fun Pacers
- 1:56are gonna win the whole damn thing. So that's
- 1:58that's nice. But yeah doing doing well. How you
- 2:02doing Sean? I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm tired.
- 2:10Tired of losing money on baseball. Baseball has
- 2:14been kicking me in the teeth. And I'm tired of
- 2:17it. I hope it gets easier. Yeah, I. Sunday was
- 2:23really bad for me. I think it went like one in
- 2:26five, but the last couple of days have been all
- 2:28right. And today nothing's really going on. Like
- 2:31as of yet, everything's pretty much up in the
- 2:33air, but we're having fun. I had a really, before
- 2:37we get into it, I had a really good win last
- 2:39night, had double unit on Philly's team total
- 2:41over five and a half. They score, they had two
- 2:45going into the eighth and they hit two home runs
- 2:48and cashed it. Oh yeah. Yeah, I love to see that
- 2:55Yeah, I mean like let's uh, let's let's get into
- 3:00it I personally haven't really bet anything Since
- 3:03about a week and a half ago except I Mean not
- 3:09really a So I bet on mark shy flee to score when
- 3:14the day his dad died Which you know feel bad
- 3:19about that but also Mean I feel like that's kind
- 3:24of a unwritten rule You know Yeah, so I don't
- 3:29feel too bad because I definitely wasn't the
- 3:32only one to do he was like plus 160 to score
- 3:35I Just threw like half a unit on it and eat many
- 3:38scored So I feel bad for it, but also I don't
- 3:46Don't I didn't know that his father had passed
- 3:49until after the game. So but if I had known that
- 3:54before, I probably would have done that as well.
- 3:57I mean, that that is kind of like a you feel
- 4:00bad about it afterwards, but then you're also
- 4:02like, I mean, money. People die every day. Yeah.
- 4:10It's just this guy that was on this team. No,
- 4:15it's a guy that that died. We talked. Have we
- 4:19talked about this? before on the show probably
- 4:22I feel like we have but it's probably been a
- 4:26while maybe the the rule is kind of like you
- 4:30know if if a player on a team loses a a family
- 4:33member or someone that is close to them recently
- 4:37then you bet on them to excel at whatever sport
- 4:42they do or This is mainly college football. If
- 4:47a live mascot dies, you bet on them the next
- 4:49week. Yes. Yeah. Yes. Also mojo stuff. Yeah.
- 4:56Last night, I didn't see this until halfway through
- 4:59the game. The Reds. I forget. I think it was
- 5:02Austin Hayes. Someone for the Reds smoked a pigeon
- 5:06and batting practice. And they won. So I wish
- 5:13I would have seen that. I would have knew Brett's
- 5:15money. Hell, yeah. That's awesome. Cool. I mean,
- 5:23like, let's get into the playoffs. I mean, it
- 5:26feels like we're finally in like kind of like
- 5:28the meat and potatoes of it. You know, we're
- 5:31in the final four of each of each sport. I guess
- 5:34we'll hit basketball first because. All of us
- 5:38don't really watch a ton of basketball, but NBA
- 5:40that is but It's pretty refreshing this these
- 5:46these conference championships, you know Okay,
- 5:49see I don't even think they made the playoffs
- 5:50last year. They they got bounced in the first
- 5:54round, right? so Seeing them in the playoffs
- 5:58is kind of like oh, this is this is refreshing
- 6:01and then like they beat the Nuggets So it's like,
- 6:02okay, they're kind of for real but Just thinking
- 6:06about it based on history this feels like That
- 6:12the first time that okc was good and they had
- 6:17three MVPs something like that on their team
- 6:22so It was I mean it was a matter of time because
- 6:25they dealt everyone and got a billion first -round
- 6:27picks So this was bound to happen at some point,
- 6:31but like SGA like he's like 26 But Chet Holmgren
- 6:35is like 23, something like that. So they're super
- 6:41young, similar to that first OKC team. Jesus.
- 6:47Got it. With like Durant and Westbrook. And Harden
- 6:54was the sixth man. And. The other guy. So it's
- 7:02Perkins. No, Serge Ibaka. Yeah. Perk was on that
- 7:10team, right? I can't remember if it was on the
- 7:14team that went to the finals or Eastern Conference
- 7:17Finals. Yeah, Eastern Conference Finals. But
- 7:20he played for the Thunder for a little bit with
- 7:22Durant. Okay. Serge Ibaka wasn't an MVP, but
- 7:28he was good. it uh it feels reminiscent of that
- 7:36and I feel like if OKC wins in the west to go
- 7:42to the finals they're gonna lose but on the flip
- 7:45side I feel like if the Wolves go to the finals
- 7:48they're going to win kind of no matter who it
- 7:52is that's just kind of my take um because it
- 7:56just feels like Anthony Edwards is just better
- 8:00than everyone like Like it's and it's hilarious
- 8:05like after after every series win. He's just
- 8:09like fuck you guys I'm the best and I'm like,
- 8:13hey man You go You you you say that? Yeah, so
- 8:19That's kind of just my take. I mean, um, I Mean
- 8:24the wolves. I mean, yeah, they have Anthony Edwards,
- 8:26but like They have um fuck Julius Randall who's
- 8:32a fucking bully, just to lock it down defensively.
- 8:37As much as you can in today's NBA. I'm trying
- 8:42to think who else is on that team. Rudy Gobert.
- 8:44Oh, yeah. Oh, he's great defensively as well.
- 8:47You know, the creator of COVID. Yes. And like
- 8:50a three or four time defensive player of the
- 8:53year. Yeah. Yeah, I'll joke. He, he will either
- 8:56go out there and look like almost like Prime
- 8:58Shaq, or he will just be a ghost. It's it's remarkable.
- 9:05Yeah, so it's exciting. The West is exciting
- 9:09and young. And the East I mean, do you guys have
- 9:12any any takes on on the West? I mean, I will
- 9:17I kind of agree with your sentiment as like,
- 9:20I think Minnesota is Don't even want to say like
- 9:26on paper. I don't think they're a better team
- 9:28But I feel like they like they've been here before
- 9:29they were in the conference finals last season
- 9:32Yes, they got beat by the Mavs. Um Yeah, I think
- 9:38I think they're I agree I think if they win they're
- 9:41gonna win the whole thing and that kind of got
- 9:42me to look up on fandel Timberwolves are plus
- 9:47550 to win the whole thing right now I'm not
- 9:51doing it. I'm not doing it because I have a future
- 9:53like half unit future on the Pacers. I think
- 9:56they're at like 900 or something. I think it
- 9:59was after the last round I did it. But I think
- 10:03that's a pretty smart investment, the Timberwolves.
- 10:06Yeah, for sure. Sean, have you followed NBA at
- 10:11all or? I know who's playing. Okay. So the East,
- 10:18I I don't think the Knicks are going to win just
- 10:22because they are a cursed franchise. But also
- 10:26the Pacers are a cursed franchise, but I feel
- 10:28like the Knicks are more cursed. I don't know.
- 10:33I don't I don't know if the Pacers are really
- 10:35cursed. It's just the only time they have really
- 10:39been good, at least like since Reggie Miller,
- 10:41which even then it was like whenever they've
- 10:44been really good. there's always been another
- 10:46team who has been like generational. So it was
- 10:49like back when Reggie Miller and all them are
- 10:51like killing it, they had Patrick Ewing in the
- 10:53Knicks. So it's like you have Patrick Ewing in
- 10:57the Knicks. And then when the Paul George, Roy
- 10:59Hibbert team, Lance Stevenson teams, that was
- 11:03LeBron in the heat. So it's like anytime they've
- 11:07been amazing, which I guess you can say last
- 11:09year, I don't think they were amazing last year,
- 11:11but they got red hot and they ran into just an
- 11:14amazing Celtics team in the conference finals.
- 11:17So it's like, anytime they've been like, on the
- 11:21come up or like, kind of like, hey, this team
- 11:23is for real, there's always just been a better
- 11:25team in the East. And now it's like, the Knicks
- 11:28are better on paper. But I mean, the pace are
- 11:31like, when they get hot, man, they can't fucking
- 11:33miss. And I know they've kind of like, the bucks
- 11:36are like, whatever, I don't think they're very
- 11:38good team, the Cavs were beat up. So the Knicks
- 11:41are far and away their toughest test of the playoffs.
- 11:43But I think they're really good. I mean, they
- 11:45beat him last year in the playoffs. So I think
- 11:47I don't know if they can win the whole damn thing,
- 11:50but if they get hot, I mean, it wouldn't shock
- 11:54me at all. Mm hmm. Yeah. The Knicks are very
- 11:59good. I mean, Jalen Brunson is. Amazing and Carl
- 12:04Anthony Towns, you know, he's good, you know,
- 12:07he's a good player. I mean, he's essentially.
- 12:10A more offensively minded. Julius Randall, which
- 12:14there was that trade in the offseason. He's much
- 12:17taller, but yeah Right. Yeah. Yeah, he's much
- 12:20taller. Yeah so it's uh, I Don't know. It's the
- 12:26the the West I mean honestly, it feels like anyway
- 12:29anybody could win this truthfully. Yeah so Which
- 12:34is great, you know, you never want to be able
- 12:36to predict what's gonna happen. So and like I
- 12:40mean Out of all these teams. I mean the Knicks
- 12:43won in the 60s 70s 150 is like the 70s. Yeah,
- 12:49they haven't won in 54 years. I believe it is.
- 12:53Yeah So they essentially haven't won. So it feels
- 12:57like we're gonna get a new Fucking champ. Yeah,
- 13:01which I mean, which is great. Yeah, so yeah,
- 13:05like you said the Knicks have won since the 70s
- 13:07the Thunder I mean, the Thunder, I know they
- 13:10were the Sonics. I don't really, I don't know
- 13:11if they claim like the Sonics passed. I don't
- 13:16think they do. I could be wrong, but the Timberwolves
- 13:19and Pacers have never won. So either it will
- 13:22be a team winning their first title since the
- 13:24seventies or a team winning their first ever.
- 13:28And in a league like the NBA that I feel like
- 13:31it's had almost zero parity since, I don't know,
- 13:35long time. That's very refreshing. Yeah. And,
- 13:40uh, I mean, that's kind of it for NBA. I mean,
- 13:43I did kind of want to touch on what's up. Well,
- 13:45I was just saying another like parody thing.
- 13:46This is the first time that, um, though a Western
- 13:49conference finals game will not be played in
- 13:51the state of California or Texas in like 20 something
- 13:53years. I think I saw that tweet like 10 minutes
- 13:56ago. Jesus. Yeah. So if it's Thunder Knicks does
- 14:04like. The curse of Patrick Ewing show up. Cause
- 14:09they traded him to the Sonics. And then like.
- 14:13Sonics became the Thunder. It could. I don't
- 14:17know. Also, I mean, kind of like what Will said,
- 14:20like nothing good ever happens to the Knicks.
- 14:24Nothing good ever happens to any of these teams
- 14:26really. That, I mean, yeah, I mean, the Knicks
- 14:29is the only team to have won one of the four
- 14:31left and it's been 50 years. So yeah, nothing
- 14:33good ever, especially the Timberwolves. Not even
- 14:36just nothing good happens to a professional sports
- 14:39team in the state of Minnesota. Ever. Yeah. The
- 14:44thunder haven't won. The thunder. No, they, the
- 14:49sonics won back in the nineties, I think. But,
- 14:53um, I don't think they claim, I don't think they
- 14:55claim the sonics like past other than Kevin Durant.
- 14:59The sonics won in like the fifties. Was it? I
- 15:03thought they, when Jerry Payton was there. Seventy
- 15:06nine. Oh, shit. I know nothing. Might as well.
- 15:09They defeated the Washington Bullets. Which that
- 15:12is a that's a storied finals right there, boys.
- 15:18My my dad, if I talk about the Washington NBA
- 15:22team, he just goes on a rant. He's like, why
- 15:25did they why did they take away the bullets?
- 15:27That's an amazing name. Everyone's soft now.
- 15:30And I'm like, Dad, they did that in like. The
- 15:3380s, I think they changed the yeah wizards and
- 15:36like the 80s or 90s like yeah, this was not new
- 15:40This wasn't like a hey, we're doing the the Redskins.
- 15:43Let's go ahead and do the bullets, too Yeah,
- 15:46they've been though the Wizards for a very long
- 15:49time which they say we didn't 97. Yeah Yeah,
- 15:53say what you will about look the bullets It's
- 15:55like hmm like that is like at least at the time
- 15:58was like the murder capital of the Country, so
- 16:01maybe I can get how that's like a little insensitive
- 16:03but also just to go from that to the Wizards
- 16:08That's it's it's definitely a downgrade. Yeah,
- 16:14definitely Bullets go hard the bullets do go
- 16:19hard That's a that's a that's a good name one
- 16:24of the only things I'm allergic to bullets being
- 16:29shot from a gun. And poison. That's the other
- 16:34thing I'm allergic to. Anyway. But yeah, I mean,
- 16:39we briefly talked about this at the bar last
- 16:41week. But like, if Anthony Edwards was on any
- 16:46other team, he'd probably be one of the best
- 16:50players in one of the best players in the league.
- 16:55He'd be like. Like the undoubted like face of
- 16:59the league. No question. Yeah. I think he is
- 17:02like talent wise. He is one of the best in the
- 17:03league. Oh, he, we know that. Yeah. Yeah. But
- 17:07he plays for small market like Timberlake. So
- 17:09it's like, I don't know. He doesn't get talked
- 17:13about in that same breath, which he should be.
- 17:17And I mean, hell, if they win the whole thing,
- 17:18he definitely will be, but as of now, no. For
- 17:23sure. Um, Yeah, so it does feel like we're getting
- 17:28the meat meat and potatoes of everything but
- 17:30But yeah, I guess moving on to hockey In the
- 17:36east we got the the Panthers just beat the Leafs
- 17:41in game seven I don't know if you guys watched
- 17:43that but that was sky is blue Yes But that is
- 17:50that's what happened that was a beatdown killed
- 17:54him Yeah, it uh, I was I watched the whole thing
- 17:58and uh at the start of the third Florida was
- 18:02only up by three and uh, and then they in the
- 18:06Leafs scored to make it 3 -1 To give them some
- 18:09life and then I think it was 45 seconds later
- 18:14the the Panthers scored again and it was like
- 18:18done they're done so that was um That was interesting.
- 18:25Mitch Marner is probably not going to resign
- 18:26there because they won't give him $14 million.
- 18:30Yes, Chris. I wanted to talk about Mitch Marner
- 18:31because I didn't watch that. I didn't have a
- 18:34chance to watch Game 7. I saw on a very popular
- 18:39hockey podcast that he was getting booed like
- 18:43in Game 7 whenever he touched the puck. Yes.
- 18:47Why? Because like maybe maybe it could be just
- 18:50a ghost. because he's a ghost in the playoffs.
- 18:53This is why he's not going to get 14 million
- 18:57dollars. Maybe someone will give it to him, but
- 18:59he's not going to get it in Toronto because he
- 19:02doesn't he doesn't show up in the playoffs. And,
- 19:06you know, hockey is a team sport, but it's like,
- 19:08dude, you want this amount of money? You have
- 19:12to. You got to show up, not just in the regular
- 19:16season. You can be a magic man all you want.
- 19:19in the regular season behind the back, no look
- 19:22passes that are beautiful, but buddy, you got
- 19:27to, you got to, you got to bury it when it matters.
- 19:30You got to be able to help your team bury it
- 19:32when it matters. Okay. So that's pretty much
- 19:35it. Okay. Yeah. So I was just wondering if that
- 19:37was like justifiable or not. Cause I know he's
- 19:39amazing and I know he hadn't been doing like
- 19:41great in playoffs. So I didn't know if it was
- 19:44like, uh, just least fans being mad and needing
- 19:47to put this energy somewhere or it or what, but
- 19:50okay, it sounds like it was justified then. So
- 19:53I'm not a wild move. I mean, yeah, pretty wild
- 19:57to game, game seven, booing a player. It's pretty,
- 20:02pretty crazy. He asked me, yeah, I'd be, I'd
- 20:06be kind of pissed at other fans. I mean, I mean,
- 20:09I'm not a fan of the Leafs. I know I don't get
- 20:11it like they do, but I don't know. I wouldn't
- 20:15boo one of my players. Right it's um it also
- 20:22takes into account that you know they tried to
- 20:24reassign him in the offseason and apparently
- 20:27their numbers were just like way off so there
- 20:32was that as well like It was it was kind of like
- 20:37unless the Leafs Make the conference finals at
- 20:41the very least then he was probably gonna gonna
- 20:46leave Just go get a bag somewhere Because that
- 20:51seems like all he cares about and playing easy
- 20:55hockey so But but yeah, I mean that's it I get
- 21:00it like he's I Mean to me like yeah, you score
- 21:04a hundred points in the in the regular season
- 21:06fantastic. You're one of the best players in
- 21:08the league But if you don't show up in the playoffs
- 21:13you're an eight million dollar player not 14
- 21:16so Sorry, bud. I still think it's I think it's
- 21:21kind of messed up, but I get I get more the least
- 21:25fan side of it now. And also, I'd just be far
- 21:28least fan. I'd be so fucking mad. Just in general.
- 21:32It's a terrible existence. I hate them. Just
- 21:35the franchise and the fans. But if I were them,
- 21:37I would be furious. It's like. They have. With
- 21:44Mitch and Austin Matthews, they have two of the
- 21:47best players in the league like two probably
- 21:50you could say top ten players which are incredibly
- 21:54difficult to come by and You're in a Canadian
- 21:57market where hockey is is everything it's in
- 22:02their blood they hatch on the ice so it's um
- 22:07It's kind of like, you know, it's everything
- 22:10is just magnified there so I don't know that's
- 22:17that's why it matters more to them than anything
- 22:21else like like yeah like if the Raptors are good
- 22:25like I mean you know they won a championship
- 22:27obviously the the whole fucking city was ecstatic
- 22:32but not the Leafs it's not the most the most
- 22:38storied franchise in in um Toronto one of the
- 22:43most storied franchises in sports so I Don't
- 22:49know it's it's different there. So But yeah,
- 22:55like that's that's kind of it but but yeah the
- 22:59The Panthers are playing the Hurricanes I don't
- 23:03think the Hurricanes are going to win because
- 23:06They I don't think they can hang with The Panthers
- 23:11are just so good. It's tough. They play a hard
- 23:17style of hockey and so do the Hurricanes, but
- 23:23it's such a different style, I guess, that the
- 23:29Hurricanes do that not really any other team
- 23:31does. Which has worked into their favor in the
- 23:34past, but the Panthers are just such a fucking
- 23:38wagon right now. I think the Panthers are gonna
- 23:42win that series. Y 'all have anything on that
- 23:46series? Nothing really. I'm gonna be pissed if
- 23:51the Canes make it to the finals. Because I had
- 23:55that... I did have a future on the Hurricanes
- 23:58to win, the whole damn thing. When they traded
- 24:01for Rantanen. And then they traded Rantanen to
- 24:06the Stars. So I cashed out of it at even money
- 24:13at what I got it at but That's really all I have.
- 24:17I hope they don't I hope they don't make it At
- 24:20least they got my money back Yeah, but I think
- 24:24Florida is yeah, I think Florida's a wagon. I
- 24:27think yeah probably Six at most game six games,
- 24:33but I want to say five But I'll stick with six
- 24:41I Going into the Leafs Panther series everyone
- 24:45was kind of like The the Panthers are going to
- 24:49crush them and then they went to game 7 but at
- 24:53the same time it kind of just feels like The
- 24:57Panthers are just like going to work Like they're
- 25:01just like yeah, you know, we lost that one. They
- 25:04went down to nothing in the series and they came
- 25:06back to Almost beating them in game six and then
- 25:12the Leafs won that game to go to a game seven.
- 25:15So it just kind of feels like They've been there
- 25:19and they've done that and it's It just feels
- 25:24like it's easier to them That's just just what
- 25:27it it kind of feels like they like they're locked
- 25:29in Yeah, they're locked in they put on their
- 25:31hard hat and they and they go to work so it just
- 25:35feels like Lows don't get too low lows don't
- 25:39highs don't get too high, you know That's how
- 25:44that's how I see it but How you feeling about
- 25:47your oilers future? I feel good. This this team
- 25:52is It's less than the team that they had last
- 25:56year like Ekholm still isn't back like He'll
- 26:00probably like they said something that he'll
- 26:02be back probably around like game five ish of
- 26:07this series uh hopefully they you know get that
- 26:11far um but you know they lost uh the two players
- 26:16that the blues offer sheeted in the in the off
- 26:18season um haul away and someone else whose name
- 26:23escapes me but um and those those two guys were
- 26:26great players for them so it like this this uh
- 26:30this team is less but also they're just playing
- 26:34on a different level it feels like. And I think
- 26:39that the stars are still out Jason Robertson,
- 26:44I think, not 100 % sure. But that's a big loss
- 26:48for them. I don't know if he's coming back. I
- 26:53also haven't done any research, so he might already
- 26:55be back. So yeah, I probably should have looked
- 26:57that up before this. But it's too late. I've
- 27:00already said it. But you're never down Out in
- 27:06a series When you have Connor McDavid until until
- 27:11it's done. That's that's kind of my mentality
- 27:14going into this It's no That that it feels good
- 27:21I am I looked at my cash out though and I would
- 27:25be up like Let's see. I put two units on it.
- 27:29I would get like To 0 .8 units back if I cashed
- 27:36out so I'd make a little bit of money, but At
- 27:42the same time No I'm not I'm not I'm not cashed
- 27:50out. Um, I do kind of like Oilers money line
- 27:53tomorrow Yeah Not bad Oh, yeah, they're they're
- 28:02very rested. Yeah, very rested It uh, it feels
- 28:07like But but I mean like the doubt Dallas is
- 28:10I mean, they're one of the best teams in the
- 28:12west. So They've also played more games than
- 28:16than the Oilers so it feels like you know Dallas
- 28:20might be beat down a little more but Dallas,
- 28:24you know, they they went to game seven in the
- 28:26round one and then they then they went to game
- 28:28six in round two, so They played more games.
- 28:32I think the Oilers beat their last opponent,
- 28:35who's... That team escapes me. Vegas. Vegas?
- 28:41Yes. I think they beat them in five games, if
- 28:43I'm not mistaken. I believe you're correct. So,
- 28:48it just feels like they're playing at a different
- 28:50level. Like, Corey Perry. First, fuck that guy.
- 28:54Second, he's playing also very, very well. At
- 28:5740 years old. So... They do have Corey Perry,
- 29:02which means they will probably go to the finals
- 29:04I don't know if you guys remember that finals
- 29:07merchant. Yeah finals merchant Corey Perry So
- 29:14feel good So but yeah, that's stars No, he's
- 29:23on the oilers, oh he's on the oilers. Yeah, he
- 29:26was on the oilers last year what the okay? Wasn't
- 29:29he on the oilers like before that too like before
- 29:33no, I don't know Yeah, yeah, when did he know
- 29:39that I Could be thinking about he's been there
- 29:44before didn't know allegedly Okay, again, this
- 29:48could be a very different player. So I'm sorry
- 29:49if I'm speaking LFM Actually, no, I'm not cuz
- 29:51fuck that guy. Didn't he allegedly have relations
- 29:53with some young superstars mom on every darts
- 29:57mom Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. I couldn't remember if
- 30:02it was. Yeah, I think yeah. I don't think that
- 30:04was true. But I don't think so either. But I
- 30:08don't care. Still fun. Still fun to talk about.
- 30:11I can't remember if it was the Panthers just
- 30:14scored down. I can't remember if it was. But
- 30:17harder, McDavid. No, you can't do that to McDavid's
- 30:21mom. We can do that to Mcdard's mom. Yeah, they're
- 30:26a dog shit team. So who cares? Nothing matters.
- 30:31Nothing matters if you don't win. I remember
- 30:35when that story came out and I was like, Will,
- 30:38I hope this is true. And Will goes, I don't.
- 30:42And I was like, why? He plays for the Blackhawks.
- 30:47We hate the Blackhawks. Would you like it if
- 30:51Corey Perry boinked to your mom? I don't play
- 30:54for the Blackhawks. So? What universe would this
- 31:00even Contride in if you played on the Blackhawks,
- 31:04but I don't All right. What if what if Cory Perry
- 31:07boinked your mom? right now You'd be like damn
- 31:13it My exact reaction dang it like have higher
- 31:23standards mom To be like, I wish this didn't
- 31:28happen to me. Am I wrong? No, you're not wrong.
- 31:36It is a hypothetical, but no, you're not wrong.
- 31:39Sorry, Mama Dixon. I don't have anyone that I
- 31:43know of that is vindictive towards me or a franchise
- 31:50that has ruined our other franchise for... Decades.
- 31:59So yeah, but he's a kid. Yeah. I don't know.
- 32:07That'd be right. I'll go on record and see if
- 32:09Perry slept with my mom. I'd be upset. I'd be
- 32:11upset as well. Yeah, this doesn't sound very
- 32:16pleasant. It doesn't. No, that that part's true.
- 32:21We're all humans. But it would still be funny.
- 32:27For only Connor Bedard's situation. It's the
- 32:31only circumstance where it's funny. To me. All
- 32:35right. I think that happened like midway through
- 32:39last year, and then he got traded to the Oilers.
- 32:43And then just someone made that up. Probably.
- 32:49If he slept with Connor McDevitt's mom, it'd
- 32:52still be kind of funny. He just did it again.
- 33:00Jesus. Alright, milf hunter. Shit. I mean, I
- 33:10think that's it for hockey. That's talking hockey.
- 33:14That's that's talking hockey with three for the
- 33:16money. Check out the Trends Center app. They're
- 33:22gonna love that. Yeah, they're they're fine.
- 33:25That is not the worst conversation we've had
- 33:28on this show. Probably not. No. All right. Moving
- 33:33on from the playoffs, the NFL schedule release
- 33:41has been released. So let's go over that. And
- 33:47then some news came out today about there's apparently
- 33:52a quarterback battle. in the in the Titans training
- 33:55camp. We can we can discuss that later. So, Chris,
- 33:59I'm going to let you take the lead on this. All
- 34:02right. So do we just want to go game by game
- 34:05and see what we think? Yes. All right. First
- 34:09of all, Titans, one of three teams with zero
- 34:13prime time games. I've seen a lot of talk about
- 34:16that record. OK, OK. Let's get that. What are
- 34:20your thoughts? It's an abomination like. Number
- 34:25one pick, no primetime games. What's that about?
- 34:32The schedule maker or whatever has said, like,
- 34:36you don't draft your way into primetime. True.
- 34:40But you go back to the dogshit bangles. They
- 34:46had not one, not two. But three prime time games
- 34:51when they drafted Joe Burrow first overall. Worst
- 34:54team in the league, worst franchise in the league.
- 34:57Three prime time games that season, his rookie
- 35:01season. You can't use that excuse. You can't
- 35:06draft your way into prime time when you have
- 35:10a blatant example like that. But okay. I think
- 35:17That was just he had to say that, which I agree
- 35:21it is based on that, like merit. It is bullshit.
- 35:25I mean, he can't say this, but if he would just
- 35:28come out and said the Titans are horseshit, nobody
- 35:30cares about them. Why should we do this? I'd
- 35:33be like, you know what? Fair. That's a more honest
- 35:37point. And that's fine. I think that's the truth.
- 35:41I think that's why they didn't do it. But yeah,
- 35:44the reason he said is horseshit, but. the real
- 35:47reason which I which is what I said in which
- 35:50we kind of all know to be true. That is fair.
- 35:55I still think give us the Thursday night against
- 35:57Jacksonville. Yeah, why not? We haven't had that
- 36:01in years and it's bullshit. I feel like that
- 36:04was like a slam dunk. Yeah, it's a slam dunk
- 36:07like they just had Travis Hunter. We just had
- 36:10Kim Ward. I feel like I feel like that's that's
- 36:14a great. Maybe not a great matchup because I
- 36:18mean both teams are kind of ass, but at the same
- 36:20time it's like I mean It's Thursday night football.
- 36:23It's it's the most it's the least important prime
- 36:27time game of the week. Yeah, and Obviously, this
- 36:31isn't true. Now. When did the NFL stop doing
- 36:33every team gets a Thursday night? I think it's
- 36:38been a couple years. I know it's been a couple
- 36:40but I Just kind of realized obviously I realized
- 36:43that last year because we didn't get one Don't
- 36:46think we get one. No, we we had Monday night
- 36:49against the Dolphins, which yeah They gave us
- 36:51I give us the other game one of the Monday night
- 36:54doubleheader at least you give us that with a
- 36:55levis You should give us that with ward Yeah
- 37:01What's that week one? It was the first no, it
- 37:06wasn't we I think was like week two or three
- 37:07because it was like the first of the Monday night
- 37:10The first time they did the Monday night double.
- 37:12Okay Okay. Which it was obviously early. So I
- 37:15think it was three or four maybe, but yeah, early.
- 37:19Okay. Yeah. And I also know that I'm sorry, but
- 37:22I know that we, you know, we're dog shit. We
- 37:25don't, you know, score a lot, but that was a,
- 37:29that Monday night game was like a high scoring
- 37:32game. Yes. The only time we scored 30 points,
- 37:35we dropped 31 points on them and they, and they
- 37:38dropped, I think it was like 24 to 31. If I remember
- 37:42correctly, it was like a high scoring game, but
- 37:45I do remember that game being quite boring. It
- 37:48was a boring ice because we kind of had to go
- 37:50because two wasn't playing right. Oh, it was
- 37:54a pro bowler. Tyler Huntley. Is that his first
- 38:01name? I believe so. Yeah, they call him Snoop
- 38:04for like, I know that's like his nickname, but
- 38:06like he's not earned a broad cap. the right to
- 38:11have broadcasters come by anyway. Okay. Titan
- 38:16schedule week one at Denver. How are we feeling?
- 38:20Not good. Yeah, me neither. It's a good test.
- 38:26Yeah, I think there could be like a little bit
- 38:29like Oh, Denver was like the hot new team last
- 38:32season. Maybe they kind of come back to earth
- 38:35a little bit this similar to like the Texans.
- 38:37Three years ago, we're like, oh shit, they got
- 38:39the new quarterback. They want to, they want
- 38:42to play off. I know the Broncos don't want to
- 38:44play off game, but the Texas want to play off
- 38:45game. Sky's limit for CJ Stroud and they were
- 38:49mid last year. So I think we can kind of get
- 38:51that sophomore slump with Bo Nicks. So I hate
- 38:56to say it, but I'll say toss up. I don't think
- 38:58it's a guaranteed loss, but I can see us going
- 39:03around, going in there. came more balls out similar
- 39:06to Marcus Mario to week one and we steal it up.
- 39:10I can see it. But I could also be very much.
- 39:16I could very much see losing as well. Oh, don't
- 39:18get me wrong. I can see us losing by four touchdowns
- 39:20as well. Like I'm not. I think I think of it
- 39:23as more just like a walk off field goal like
- 39:26type of loss. I think it would be pretty close.
- 39:30We played the Broncos week one. How a few years
- 39:35ago cuz I was my fucking hate that game. I hate
- 39:38that game. Yeah, miss four field goals, but we
- 39:41still won. Walk off. Walk off when it mattered.
- 39:47Alright. Hit it when it mattered. The Broncos
- 39:49are favored by seven. I think that's too many
- 39:51points. That's a lot. I'll take us plus seven.
- 39:56Go ahead and mark me down for that. Alright,
- 39:59week two. We thought that a lot this this past
- 40:02season. That's way too many points against us
- 40:05and we were the worst against this great team
- 40:08I think it was ever Sorry, all right. No, you're
- 40:15good week two home opener we host the Los Angeles
- 40:19Rams I See this as as a we get out to an early
- 40:24lead and we're like, hey and then we lose we
- 40:30lose by like not like We lose by a decent amount
- 40:33too, I feel like. Whoever plays at quarterback
- 40:44for the Broncos game might buy themselves a start
- 40:49for the Rams game. And if it's Levis, I can see
- 40:54us getting to an early lead and then him throwing
- 40:56away the game. And then after that, Ward comes
- 41:00in. Just losing it in a hilarious, memeable fashion
- 41:04like he did so many times last year. That's,
- 41:08that's just what I see. All right. So I feel
- 41:10like Sean, you have any thoughts other than we're
- 41:13probably going to lose. Probably going to lose
- 41:15that one. Not going to lie to you. Yeah, no,
- 41:17I think that's fair. I think it'd be a cool game
- 41:19to go to. I've never seen the Rams. Don't think
- 41:20I'll probably have, well, I mean, I will have
- 41:22a chance to see him again, hopefully, but in
- 41:24eight years. God willing, I'm still on this earth.
- 41:28I saw him eight years ago on Christmas Eve, I
- 41:33think. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Did we win? We
- 41:37did not. Todd Gurley ran all over us. I remember
- 41:41that now. Yeah, that sucked. Yeah. All right.
- 41:44Week three, host the Indianapolis Colts. Dub.
- 41:49Dub, yeah. Loss. All right. See? I think we split
- 41:56with them, so I can't say he's wrong. I would
- 42:02be very depressed if that happens, especially
- 42:06if that makes us 0 -3, but I think we win. I
- 42:10just don't think they're very good. I mean, I
- 42:11know we suck, but I think they suck, too. Yeah,
- 42:15I don't think they're much better. They're not.
- 42:20Yeah. But yeah, could go either way. I'm going
- 42:24with dub for that one. Just pretty much because
- 42:27it's at home. I think we split and it's at home.
- 42:30All right, week four. We go to Houston. I don't
- 42:36really know. These are these are always the Houston
- 42:39games are always tough because we usually always
- 42:41split usually except for Stroud's like rookie
- 42:45season. But they came here, beat the shit out
- 42:49of us. We went there and we won in overtime.
- 42:53Last year. Yes. Yeah, we did We won was we won.
- 42:58I don't know if it was overtime We won, but it
- 43:01was it was close though. Like it was like a point
- 43:03game. Yeah So I could very much see some I I
- 43:07think we'll probably split with the Texans as
- 43:11well We'll probably split with all of our division
- 43:14opponents. If I'm being totally honest, we'll
- 43:17probably be 500 hope on our division yeah hopefully
- 43:21and those might be the only games we win but
- 43:24that's okay it's not okay but yes that's that's
- 43:30not okay at all all right so i'll say i'll say
- 43:35we lose that um but i that's a toss -up i'm just
- 43:38gonna yeah say we lose all right next week um
- 43:43at arizona to take on the fight in kyler murray's
- 43:46I feel like we get our shit rocked. I really
- 43:51don't want that to happen. I don't think the
- 43:53Cardinals are very good. I know they got hot
- 43:56last season. I think we'll lose. That's why I
- 44:00think we're going to get our shit rocked. I still
- 44:02think they're that good. Don't get me wrong.
- 44:05I think we will lose. But I don't think we're
- 44:07going to get boat -raised. I think it'll be within
- 44:09a touchdown. But I think we'll lose. I think
- 44:12that this is a surprising we get our shit rocked.
- 44:17I mean, yeah. I mean, I'm not going to say you're
- 44:20wrong because I feel like that kind of happens
- 44:22to me. I felt a lot, especially with us, but
- 44:24yeah. I get what you're saying. Yeah. John, thoughts?
- 44:29Probably loss. Yeah. Loss. Awesome. High hopes.
- 44:35All right. Are you keeping track of this? Not
- 44:38really. Okay, cool. I'm not either. Okay. I think
- 44:44at this point, Two and three probably I think
- 44:48that's kind of our consensus Whether sounds okay,
- 44:51depending on I mean that's how many games we
- 44:54won last last season So I'll be I'll be very
- 44:57okay with two and three through two and three
- 45:00week five. I'll take that all day long I'll be
- 45:03I'll be pretty Sounds so sad. I'll be pretty
- 45:05happy. I'll be pretty okay. Hey things aren't
- 45:09so bad. Yeah All right. Well the next one I think
- 45:13we got it's in Vegas I think we win. They suck.
- 45:18I agree. I also think that we win. Yeah. We definitely
- 45:24don't stop them, but I think we win. We'll probably
- 45:28make it a lot harder than it should be, because
- 45:30that's kind of the Titan way, but I think we
- 45:34win. Like we win and we don't cover. Somehow
- 45:37we're going to be favored. They got Geno. Geno
- 45:40and Pete. Geno, Gentie, Bowers. Oh man, hold
- 45:46on. Their defense blows. Their defense does blow.
- 45:50So does ours. Yeah. I don't think it's that bad.
- 45:56I don't think it's as bad as Vegas. If we get
- 46:00torched by Gino, I'll be like questioning a lot
- 46:02of things. Like just who, who should we have
- 46:05a job in this coaching staff and really on this
- 46:07team if we get torched by Gino Smith? Right.
- 46:11Okay. Yeah, sure. But we all, it sounds like
- 46:13we're all in agree. I don't think it'll be, I
- 46:17actually don't think it'll be easy, but I think
- 46:19we could sneak one out. Okay. Yeah. I think we
- 46:22went by like five. Yeah. It's like, Oh, we'd
- 46:24probably cover if we went by five, but yeah,
- 46:26it's when, but it's ugly. Yes. Are we favored
- 46:30in any, I know all the lines are out. Are we
- 46:32favored in any game? I couldn't find a line.
- 46:34I could find the Denver one, but I couldn't find
- 46:36one on like every single game. I know they're
- 46:38out there somewhere. They're all on a ESPN. I
- 46:41have it. Yes. Well, OK, we're not favored at
- 46:44all. I mean, that's we were two and three or
- 46:48two or six weeks. We had we're not favored. No,
- 46:53OK. I think Oakland or Vegas, excuse me, would
- 46:57be the only one that we would have a chance to
- 46:59be favored. I feel like the Colts, too. Yeah,
- 47:02yeah, Colts. Yeah. What's the line in the Colts?
- 47:07I feel like the Colts could be like one and a
- 47:09half or something, but I was saying like two
- 47:11and a half. So, the only game that doesn't have
- 47:15a line is Titans at Colts. Oh, that's way down
- 47:18the line. Well, not way, but it's weak. Isn't
- 47:22that the last game? No, we play the Jagslaws
- 47:26last game. Of course. But Colts at Titans. Oh
- 47:32wait, we are favored. We are favored by one and
- 47:35a half. What'd I say? Let's go! Sorry. What'd
- 47:39I say? That's that's my fault. I guess you know,
- 47:43you're good. I'm jaded I Mean it would be when
- 47:48you said that I wasn't arguing with you whatsoever
- 47:50that we hadn't been favored at all Makes sense.
- 47:54Yeah going forward. Just let us know if we're
- 47:57favored. Yeah in these weeks All right next week
- 48:01Rematch from last year's barn burner. We host
- 48:04the New England Patriots. I think this is a We
- 48:09squeak one out and I think that might be the
- 48:12most accurate actually probably not they have
- 48:15variable. They're gonna We get dog walks, never
- 48:21mind. Yeah, we're getting our shit pumped for
- 48:24that reason alone Yeah, we lose by at least two
- 48:27or three touchdowns. Yeah, I totally forgot cuz
- 48:30I was in my head I was like, yeah, I mean we
- 48:32beat him last year there. I know they're better,
- 48:35but they're still bad. I forgot about Like the
- 48:38Patriots could go into that game Without a win
- 48:43and we could be favored by four or five but it
- 48:49It's not gonna be good. It's not gonna be good.
- 48:51Yeah, we're gonna lose. I've totally forgot I'm
- 48:54not taking the under in that game this year.
- 48:57Not doing it Took the under last year that fucking
- 49:01sucked Yeah, the Patriots are favored in that
- 49:06game by one and a half Oh, that should be lock
- 49:09of the year, honestly. Well, you can bet on it.
- 49:13I don't want to. I want to happen. But if I were
- 49:17smart, if I were a smart gambler, I'd probably
- 49:20go ahead and bet a whole lot of money on Patriots
- 49:25one and a half. All right. All right. Moving
- 49:29on next week is at Indy. I think we lose just
- 49:33because I said we'll split and we won and I said
- 49:35we win the first one. So. Mm -hmm. This is going
- 49:38to be This is someone's going to have a very
- 49:42very good game on the Colts and be like, oh this
- 49:44guy should be a pro baller If it's any of the
- 49:51Richardson which it probably will be Yeah, I'm
- 49:55gonna lose my mind similar if Gino torches us
- 50:00if If Anthony Richardson torches us at all in
- 50:03either game, I'll be very upset Tony and Sean
- 50:07looks good. All right Next week back out or no,
- 50:11that's home. Never mind. We host the Chargers
- 50:14The Chargers are favored by four and a half.
- 50:17I feel like this game I feel like the Chargers
- 50:21are going to end up being favored by like seven
- 50:24and We are somehow going to stay in the game
- 50:29but lose I Can see that yeah, I think we if it's
- 50:34seven or What is it now? Sorry, I didn't. Right
- 50:37now it's the favorite of four and a half. Okay.
- 50:39Yeah. I mean, that'll probably go up, especially
- 50:42if the chargers are good. Um, I think we, we
- 50:45lose, but cover. I think it's like we lose by
- 50:48field goal. I agree with that. Yeah. Just cause
- 50:51it's a hard fought battle, but, uh, great teams
- 50:55covered. Good teams win. Yep. All right. Bye
- 51:00week. And then we go to, or no, we host you,
- 51:04excuse me. I just want to say I'm very happy
- 51:07we have a later bi -week than we have in the
- 51:09past, what, three years? We've had the first.
- 51:12It's been like, it's been like five, seven and
- 51:14six, like the past three years. And it's like,
- 51:16Jesus Christ. Yeah. Our guys aren't even hurt
- 51:20yet. Yeah. We had the first one last week or
- 51:23last season. And then when I, when the schedule
- 51:25came out, like I didn't watch the video, but
- 51:28I just saw like the, the picture they posted,
- 51:31which I'm looking at right now. And it has like,
- 51:33has it in columns. And I was going like down
- 51:36the column at first, I was like, we have a buy
- 51:38in week four again. This is bullshit. That was
- 51:44like, oh, go side to side. Okay. Because when
- 51:47I was like, I was like, hold on, we're on the
- 51:48road the first two weeks home and then a buy.
- 51:52And I was like, no, Chris, side to side, dumbass.
- 51:55Schedule makers really hate us. Yeah. Yes, I
- 51:58agree. It's nice to have it like actually in
- 52:01the middle of the season where it's kind of supposed
- 52:02to be. Yeah. All right. Then after that, yeah,
- 52:05we host Houston. What else? I think we win because
- 52:10same reason for the calls. A very close win.
- 52:17I'll say loss. That one's going to be a loss.
- 52:19Yeah, I mean, I could see it either way. Yeah.
- 52:23Yeah. God, don't lose them again. Then home against
- 52:27the Seahawks. Um, I'll say loss right now. Very
- 52:34skeptical about Sam Darnold this season. He don't
- 52:38have DK anymore. No, but they saw they have Smith
- 52:42and Jigba. Uh, but could be Tyler Lockett revenge
- 52:45game. Oh yeah. We have that guy write it down
- 52:49anytime. Touchdown. He'll probably be, uh, fucking
- 52:5832 years old maybe um but yeah uh i mean if sam
- 53:04donald's balling out again i don't think you
- 53:06will but if he has lost i don't think he will
- 53:08so i'm gonna say when i i think this is a win
- 53:13i think this is a oh all right i think it could
- 53:18be like at the time the seahawks are pretty good
- 53:21and we're like we stink But it's like, but we
- 53:25beat them and it's like, Oh, maybe we're not
- 53:26that bad. And the Seahawks just going to tailspin.
- 53:29And it's like, Oh, okay. Well, we weren't really
- 53:30that good, which I don't know what the Seahawks
- 53:33schedule looks like. So I could be wrong. They
- 53:35could have cupcakes. But yeah, the Seahawks are
- 53:38favored by one and a half currently. Oh, interesting.
- 53:43Yeah. I'll say when. Yeah. I will say when just
- 53:47because how do I put this? I completely lost
- 53:56my train of thought. I'm sorry. Seahawks win.
- 54:01Yep. One and a half. We win. Sheikah... Sam Darnold.
- 54:11Oh, I got it. It was... I think we win because
- 54:15it's probably some... It's the bullshit NFC -like
- 54:21game where it kind of... It matters, but it doesn't
- 54:27matter as much as playing a conference opponent.
- 54:31So I think both teams kind of roll in here. I
- 54:35think the Seahawks definitely roll in here just
- 54:37like, okay, let's just get back to, let's get
- 54:40back home and play this game. And it's like,
- 54:44all right, if we win, we win, we lose, we lose.
- 54:48Obviously these are professional athletes. They
- 54:49don't think like that, but that's the vibe I
- 54:52get. That makes sense Definitely not a high -profile
- 54:57game. Yeah All right next the rivalry continues
- 55:05we host the Jacksonville Jaguars If we don't
- 55:09win if we don't win at home, I'm gonna lose my
- 55:11mind I actually don't think we'll split with
- 55:17the Jags. I think we'll sweep them Whenever we
- 55:21go down there we kill them Yeah, for the most
- 55:25part. Yeah. So, um, I mean, I just think they're
- 55:29going to be pretty bad again, obviously, but
- 55:32I think we went if we fucking better when I say
- 55:37we better. Yeah, we better win one of these games.
- 55:42Are this the schedule starts to lighten up now?
- 55:46So after Jacksonville, we go to Cleveland. Maybe.
- 55:53Better I mean it's a toss -up for me. Obviously.
- 55:56I don't know who the fuck's gonna be slinging
- 55:58it I was gonna say on depends who they pull out
- 56:00of their stable of quarterbacks, but They're
- 56:03both in there. Yeah, just Jesus. I just can't
- 56:07roll it. Yeah, like bullpen style like Flacco
- 56:11starts and then they just Keep rotating them
- 56:15That'd be hilarious. That'd be interesting. You
- 56:18won't do that if it's no that definitely won't
- 56:20If it's one of Flacco's I don't know who's fucking
- 56:23starting the season, but if if it's Flacco If
- 56:27this is one of his like first few starts then
- 56:30Then we're this is a loss But if it's like if
- 56:36he is consistently started Then this could be
- 56:39where he slides inevitably Because that's what
- 56:43he does And that's how I feel about that but
- 56:47then if it's Shador, I mean Mean, I really can't
- 56:52tell unless you know, we're in the in the guess
- 56:55the the situation I believe Because there's so
- 56:59many there's so many variables when it comes
- 57:01to the Browns currently so I don't know I Could
- 57:06the jaded Titans fan of me to also see? This
- 57:10is like Shador's first start and yeah, he torches
- 57:14us And people like, hey, see, this guy's really
- 57:17fucking good. He should have been first overall.
- 57:19And then he doesn't even start for the rest of
- 57:21the season. Right. So, yeah, I could definitely
- 57:26see that as well. But the rational, I don't know
- 57:30if it's rational, but I think we would. I hope
- 57:34so. All right. All right. It gets a little tougher.
- 57:39Now we go to. All right. Lights lightens up and
- 57:41then gets. Yeah. Okay. Well, this is the only
- 57:44tough. Okay. Nevermind. We got the cheese. Yeah,
- 57:45we got some, we got some more. Okay. But we go
- 57:48to San Francisco and I mean, well, space space.
- 57:52This is not this. I think, well, I think we lose.
- 57:55Don't get it wrong. San Francisco is not a juggernaut
- 57:58anymore. I could, this could look really bad
- 58:00in a couple of months or a few months. I don't
- 58:04think they're going to be very good. I think
- 58:06they'll be good just because they still have
- 58:09a good team and Shanahan's a good coach, but
- 58:12I don't think they're the, like, I don't think
- 58:14they're Super Bowl contender anymore. Interesting.
- 58:17Could be. We're not winning this game, though.
- 58:19Oh, no, we're not. We're not winning that one.
- 58:22It's the same reason that I gave the Seahawks.
- 58:25Just get in, get out. Yeah. All right. Then we
- 58:28host Kansas City. Sneakily, this is a dub. Sneakily.
- 58:35I'm not saying it's a dub. What week is this,
- 58:38Chris? Late. Third to the last. So what's that?
- 58:4316? This is week 16? Yeah. This is the Cam Ward
- 58:50game. I could see it now. I mean... Noon or 3?
- 58:59Probably Noon. Noon. Yeah. Cam Ward game. This
- 59:04is his game. This is a game where he solidifies
- 59:08himself against... the best quarterback in the
- 59:12league, debatably ever, and he walks through
- 59:18that tunnel with a dub. I don't think that's
- 59:23very crazy. I think, I mean, we've beaten them.
- 59:26I think it's pretty crazy, but it's a gut feeling
- 59:29I have. I don't think it's crazy to say that
- 59:32we could. Sneak this one out. We won't go to
- 59:35me. This is a loss, but if we win I'm not gonna
- 59:38be like, oh my god, like how could this like
- 59:40how did we do that? Yeah, I mean I won't be surprised
- 59:43if we lose We've upset them multiple times In
- 59:48Nissan, so I mean granted one of those was with
- 59:51a much better team. I wouldn't we just rocked
- 59:54their shit I think those Malik Willis almost
- 59:56won a game. Yes the cheese should have won a
- 59:58game There's a bullshit pass interference calling
- 1:00:00that two point. I was at that game Yeah, we should
- 1:00:03have won that game. So, and that was in Narrowhead.
- 1:00:06So, yeah, I'm just lost, obviously, but. I'm
- 1:00:10going sneaky. Sneaky. What's the line on this
- 1:00:1513 and a half? Seven. That's shocking. I mean,
- 1:00:21it's not even August yet. I know, but I thought
- 1:00:23at least be nine and a half. But that is, I mean.
- 1:00:27The most we are underdogs by is seven and a half
- 1:00:32to the Niners. Now, so we're touchdown dogs three
- 1:00:37times. Yes, as it stands right now. Love it.
- 1:00:42All right. That's not that bad. I mean, it's
- 1:00:45not, but it's still like that bad in the NFL.
- 1:00:48Yeah. Yeah. But being the worst team in the league
- 1:00:53that bad, we've got a pretty tough schedule.
- 1:00:56I mean, it's not the hardest bottom feeder yeah
- 1:00:59yeah it's not easy yeah all right let me last
- 1:01:04home game of the season three days after christmas
- 1:01:06we host the saints dub surprise we are favored
- 1:01:11by three and a half i don't think it's very surprising
- 1:01:13all the saints fucking suck yeah the same i know
- 1:01:17we've been saying they are i'm just saying surprise
- 1:01:20because we haven't been We are the reigning worst
- 1:01:23team in the league. The Saints will probably
- 1:01:25be the worst team in the league this year. Yeah,
- 1:01:27yeah. They're getting arch, for sure. Probably,
- 1:01:31probably. That's gonna suck. And then close it
- 1:01:36out on the road against Jacksonville. Dub, I
- 1:01:39say, I agree, I think we saw that. Yeah, sweet.
- 1:01:41Dub. We are underdogs by four and a half for
- 1:01:45that last game. Wow. I'm surprised that's that
- 1:01:49much. I figured we'd be dogs, but yeah, I think
- 1:01:51that's I was thinking like two and a half, but.
- 1:01:55It's a tough to call right now. Yeah. All right.
- 1:01:58Well, that's the that's the schedule. The sketchy.
- 1:02:03I see five. Wins. If you want to call that being
- 1:02:08optimistic for feel like I said more than five.
- 1:02:12But. Five seems realistic. Yeah. Yeah. I said
- 1:02:16a few words like sneaky spot for a dub, but I
- 1:02:18think like, okay, we should win this game for,
- 1:02:22I would say four because I was thinking Patriots.
- 1:02:24We should, but I forgot about variable. So I'll
- 1:02:26say four with one of these Raiders Browns. Um,
- 1:02:32actually no five. Cause I said, we'll sweep Jacksonville.
- 1:02:35Shit. I also said we'd split. Okay. Hold on.
- 1:02:37Hold on. I got to do some math. Okay, I'll say
- 1:02:41six. I'll say six wins. If we get to six wins,
- 1:02:45I'll be ecstatic. I'll be like, all right, season
- 1:02:49dub. Our wind toll is five and a half. Right,
- 1:02:54that's about what we said. Almost. I think we
- 1:02:59win six games. I think we can go ball. I think
- 1:03:01we can go to a ball. Yeah. I would say. Worst
- 1:03:10case. Three. Yeah. I think that's that's playing
- 1:03:21it safe. I'll be very mad at that, but I think
- 1:03:24that is worst case. That's like, oh, the Raiders
- 1:03:27turn out to be like not that bad. The Browns
- 1:03:32like whoever they have a quarterback at the moment
- 1:03:34is hot. If we lose to the Saints, I'm calling
- 1:03:38for Callan's fucking head. I don't care what
- 1:03:40our record is. I don't care what their record
- 1:03:42is. Yeah, that this this season will feel like
- 1:03:51it. I mean, it'll be one step closer to not being
- 1:03:54awful. Hopefully. But but yeah, you know, that's
- 1:04:00the season is going to be very telling on. The
- 1:04:04coaching staff. Because now they are next up
- 1:04:08got rid of the GM because he sucked So That I
- 1:04:17mean the coaching staff is the neck the only
- 1:04:20logical thing to change next Oh if we only win
- 1:04:23three game is like if the worst -case scenario
- 1:04:25comes true Catalan's getting fired it barring
- 1:04:28like a devastating injury to someone or multiple
- 1:04:31people I think three went. Yeah anything if everyone's
- 1:04:35healthy i think anything less than four gallon
- 1:04:36could get fired yeah i really just don't want
- 1:04:40to be the worst team again like but also if we're
- 1:04:45the worst team again would that be so bad i mean
- 1:04:50yeah it would be terrible it would be the worst
- 1:04:51outcome we could have actually um if we are the
- 1:04:55oh i'm in the off season like mindset so it's
- 1:04:59kind of like all right you know if you're not
- 1:05:01first Be last so you can be first Closer if we
- 1:05:09are if we do have the number one pick again I
- 1:05:11mean, yes, that'd be very upsetting because we
- 1:05:14means we lost a bunch of football games, but
- 1:05:16We hopefully knock on wood have the quarterback
- 1:05:19We could trade it for a shit ton of more picks
- 1:05:24and then actually build a good team Not crazy
- 1:05:29not crazy the thing again, I will be very upset
- 1:05:32if that happens, but It's not the worst spot
- 1:05:38to be in Mm -hmm. Yeah, so It for us at least
- 1:05:45it don't get me wrong. It's terrible spot to
- 1:05:47be in but it's a spot where you can Build or
- 1:05:50actually build a team through the draft for the
- 1:05:53future. Yeah It's a it's a weird spot right now
- 1:05:57where it's like I don't necessarily miss football
- 1:06:00yet because there's so many things happening
- 1:06:02in football currently um and it just feels like
- 1:06:06we're in the natural progression of things once
- 1:06:08it becomes late July early August it'll be I'll
- 1:06:14be jonesing for it I'm not quite jonesing for
- 1:06:18it yet so I miss I miss college football I know
- 1:06:24where it's only May. I miss college football.
- 1:06:27I found, I was bored one night. I found myself
- 1:06:29just perusing through some wind totals, not wind
- 1:06:32totals, like future lines. And I was like, man,
- 1:06:36it was like a Tuesday. I was like, I would, I
- 1:06:38could really go for some action right now. I
- 1:06:43miss college football. I don't really miss the
- 1:06:46NFL yet. Cause like you said, there's lots of
- 1:06:48news and stuff to get me entertained. I'm a scholar
- 1:06:50football and it's only going to get way worse
- 1:06:53because we're far Right But we are I mean I guess
- 1:07:01just kind of like I'm in like NHL NBA playoffs
- 1:07:04mode mentally, so it feels like all right. This
- 1:07:08is something to keep my Attention I guess so
- 1:07:13Sean Sean, did you say something? I think you're
- 1:07:16muted Oh, I did say something, but it's fine.
- 1:07:22Okay. Okay. Um, I know we have a few minutes
- 1:07:26left. I just want to touch on what we'll set
- 1:07:28about, like the Contra QB controversy or battle,
- 1:07:31whatever you can call it. Can't words to the
- 1:07:32starter. Like I feel like they're just saying,
- 1:07:35I feel like every year this happens where it's
- 1:07:37like, Oh, new rookie comes in. We have to, we
- 1:07:41have to give them a level head. We can't just
- 1:07:42be like, Hey, 20 year old night have a roll came
- 1:07:45ward is here's the keys to the kingdom already
- 1:07:48like you kind of got to make them earn it Yeah,
- 1:07:51but he will start. Oh if Levis rolls out there.
- 1:07:54We won just like barring any sort of injury I'm
- 1:07:58like, okay, this guy's a bust if he can't start
- 1:08:02over Levison camp that this guy's I Can also
- 1:08:08see you like they start Levis and then Levis
- 1:08:11throws it away throw it throws away a game that
- 1:08:14we should win whatever that would be and then
- 1:08:17cam comes in and Ball does fine does kind of
- 1:08:23like more like a Ryan Tannehill sort of situation
- 1:08:26where Like he came in for Marcus and they didn't
- 1:08:29win that game. Whatever the fucking game that
- 1:08:32was against Denver. Yep That was against and
- 1:08:37week four, I believe yeah, yeah Tannahill can
- 1:08:44ward comes in and is fine for like two games
- 1:08:48and then just explodes At least that's just hope
- 1:08:53I could I I get your trade your thought process
- 1:08:57there. I just don't I don't think that happens.
- 1:08:59I think if I Mean, it's a different situation
- 1:09:03obviously, but I I can see maybe variable pulling
- 1:09:06something like this where it's like Hey, we really
- 1:09:08got to keep this guy's ego in check. So we're
- 1:09:10gonna start love us first, but I think I think
- 1:09:13Cal Handish rolls with Ward week one. At least
- 1:09:16he, he fucking better. Yeah. Or they split the
- 1:09:22game maybe? Week one? It'll be like that Falcons
- 1:09:27game, which for whatever reason Malik Willis
- 1:09:29took one snap and then we took him out. I think
- 1:09:34it's because Levis's helmet came off. Oh, is
- 1:09:36that? I think he had to sit out for a play. We
- 1:09:40missed like the first... We missed the first
- 1:09:42couple of plays getting into that game, so I
- 1:09:44don't know exactly what happened. But I remember
- 1:09:46getting to our seat or walking in and seeing
- 1:09:49on the Jumbotron that Willis was in there. I
- 1:09:52was like, what the fuck are we doing? No, because
- 1:09:56it was, well, there had to have been something
- 1:09:59because it was announced that Levis was starting
- 1:10:01that game. So, yeah, that's kind of like why
- 1:10:06we went. Like it was like, OK, let's go. the
- 1:10:11future god and then he was our Prometheus for
- 1:10:14like a second maybe a second and a half second
- 1:10:20and a half because of Miami game as well i'll
- 1:10:22go ahead and say two seconds yeah because that
- 1:10:25my game also rocked it did yeah that was fun
- 1:10:29they'll never make me hate will levis i'm don't
- 1:10:32get me wrong don't like he needs to not be on
- 1:10:35the team anymore he's just sit down i'll I'll
- 1:10:39never yeah, but he does but I will never I will
- 1:10:42never hate him because that god that Falcons
- 1:10:45games awesome. Yeah Yeah it That the the rest
- 1:10:52of that season with Levis starting like He lost
- 1:10:57most of those games, but it felt like oh Yeah
- 1:11:05wrap up Oh, I thought you were counting it. I'm
- 1:11:11counting to myself. OK. Thank you so much for
