Speaker 1: We have Taylor's Tears on a Tuesday. We have Eric
0:24
Speaker 1: Armstead from the Jacksonville Jaguars, both of those coming up
0:27
Speaker 1: in hour number two. We will get to the Chiefs
0:31
Speaker 1: and Broncos here. Taylor has some questions. I have more
0:34
Speaker 1: questions about the Broncos. I think Taylor has questions about
0:37
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And we have if the season ended today.
0:42
Speaker 1: But we stumbled into a very funny conversation earlier today
0:47
Speaker 1: about Taylor Swift sitting next to Tom Cruise last night
0:50
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs game and what were they talking about
0:53
Speaker 1: and just how random and weird the whole thing is.
0:57
Speaker 1: And I asked Mikey and Taylor, do you think that
1:00
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise was talking to Taylor Swift?
1:04
Speaker 3: About his fantasy team, about his lineup. Is there any chance?
1:08
Speaker 1: And then we stumbled into a funny conversation of movie
1:11
Speaker 1: stars and what they would name their fantasy teams. Taylor,
1:16
Speaker 1: do you have the poll question we put up for
1:17
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise and the options of what Tom Cruise, if
1:21
Speaker 1: indeed he was playing fantasy football, if indeed that's what
1:26
Speaker 1: he was discussing with Taylor Swift last night? uh what
1:29
Speaker 1: would the name of his team be do you have
1:31
Speaker 1: the options for the audience.
1:32
Speaker 4: Here yeah so we had four options top gunners yes
1:37
Speaker 4: rain man but rain is spelt r-e-i-g-n.
1:41
Speaker 1: That was mikey's very important yeah.
1:43
Speaker 4: Yes jerry mcguire's clients and then a few good.
1:48
Speaker 1: Men okay so i want to throw a few more
1:52
Speaker 1: out uh go ahead you have more Oh, yeah.
1:56
Speaker 5: I make all the right moves. I'm winning far and away.
2:02
Speaker 1: Yes. All right. A few better men. A few better men.
2:06
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:07
Speaker 1: So the question for the audience is this. 877-99 on Fox.
2:11
Speaker 1: The actor, the actress, and what their fantasy football team
2:15
Speaker 1: name would be based on the movies that they've been in.
2:19
Speaker 3: I think that's the way you have to do it.
2:20
Speaker 5: Right, Mikey?
2:21
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
2:22
Speaker 6: Starting CMC, colon, risky business.
2:27
Speaker 1: But it can't be.
2:28
Speaker 3: Well, it can be a role, I guess, too, right?
2:31
Speaker 1: Like, you could base your team name off of a
2:32
Speaker 1: role that you played in a movie, correct?
2:35
Speaker 5: If you could do something with Maverick, sure.
2:37
Speaker 1: Yes. Right. Yes.
2:38
Speaker 5: But it's got to be like there's only one.
2:40
Speaker 1: Right. Yes.
2:41
Speaker 3: And why wouldn't you do something with Maverick?
2:44
Speaker 1: If you're Maverick.
2:45
Speaker 4: That's his fantasy basketball team.
2:46
Speaker 5: You're right.
2:47
Speaker 1: Yes. The Maverick.
2:48
Speaker 2: Yes.
2:50
Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. That is 877-99 on Fox. I didn't
2:54
Speaker 1: realize there were more questions about the Chiefs, Taylor. The
2:57
Speaker 1: Chiefs won the football game. My questions are about the
3:00
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and just how bad Bo Nix was in
3:03
Speaker 1: that game last night.
3:04
Speaker 4: So it's the opposite, actually. I don't have questions about
3:07
Speaker 4: this Chiefs team because I think what they did yesterday
3:10
Speaker 4: was a statement game where they kind of announced to
3:12
Speaker 4: the NFL that they're back. My questions were revolving around
3:16
Speaker 4: the Chiefs because I'm watching that game. Are the Chiefs
3:20
Speaker 4: officially the team to beat in the AFC again? Because
3:23
Speaker 4: there was a window where they weren't, and I think
3:25
Speaker 4: they've entered back into that window.
3:27
Speaker 1: It's interesting. That's Mahomes coming off an injury, played okay,
3:31
Speaker 1: played better in the second half, was more comfortable running
3:33
Speaker 1: than he was throwing, which is odd considering he hurt
3:36
Speaker 1: his leg and not his arm. So I don't know.
3:39
Speaker 1: Are the Chiefs the favorite? Mikey, are you ready to
3:42
Speaker 1: say that? I mean, they have championship pedigree. They have
3:45
Speaker 1: probably the greatest quarterback we've ever seen after Tom Brady.
3:50
Speaker 1: Are they the favorites in a conference with a quarterback
3:52
Speaker 1: coming off that injury in a conference that has Josh Allen,
3:56
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow? I'm not certain if they
3:59
Speaker 1: are the favorites. I don't know.
4:01
Speaker 6: Right now, they have shown in week one that they
4:06
Speaker 6: are who we thought the Texans were. They played with
4:09
Speaker 6: a really good running game, a really good defense, and
4:12
Speaker 6: the quarterback made some throws when he had to, but
4:14
Speaker 6: didn't light up the scoreboard. Before I'm willing to call
4:17
Speaker 6: the Chiefs the favorite in the AFC, I need to
4:20
Speaker 6: see a Patrick Mahomes game.
4:22
Speaker 4: The reason why, Mikey, that's exactly why I think the
4:24
Speaker 4: Chiefs are the favorite now in the AFC because they
4:27
Speaker 4: look that dominant and they didn't get the Patrick Mahomes
4:30
Speaker 4: game where Patrick Mahomes, without question, he's going to have
4:32
Speaker 4: his moments and his throws where he drops back and
4:35
Speaker 4: he reminds everybody who he is. And game on the line,
4:38
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure that there's anybody you'd rather have
4:40
Speaker 4: leading a drive. And I can't remember the last time
4:43
Speaker 4: that we watched a Chiefs game where the Chiefs could
4:45
Speaker 4: win a game like that without Mahomes doing the carrying.
4:48
Speaker 5: And then, Stu.
4:50
Speaker 4: I think people are kind of discrediting Eric Biennemi coming
4:52
Speaker 4: back to this Chiefs offense because Eric Biennemi was in
4:55
Speaker 4: his bag last night. I don't know if you saw
4:57
Speaker 4: some of those plays where Patrick Mahomes had his hand
4:59
Speaker 4: in the dirt.
5:00
Speaker 1: I did see him. I did notice that he was there.
5:03
Speaker 1: I did notice Mahomes had his hand in the dirt.
5:06
Speaker 1: I noticed all of it. They have a great coaching staff.
5:09
Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. They have the best
5:11
Speaker 1: quarterback in the game, Mikey, and maybe the best coach
5:14
Speaker 1: in the game, plus the best assistants in the game.
5:17
Speaker 1: Maybe the Chiefs are the favorite, and we're just discounting
5:20
Speaker 1: Kansas City because they didn't make it to the playoffs
5:22
Speaker 1: a season ago. You know?
5:24
Speaker 6: I don't disagree that they have the best quarterback in
5:27
Speaker 6: the game. I'm just not sure he's the best quarterback
5:30
Speaker 6: in the game right now because I'm not sure he's 100%
5:33
Speaker 6: healthy or at least 100% back to where he was.
5:38
Speaker 1: But to Taylor's point with Kenneth Walker, they now have
5:41
Speaker 1: someone who can kind of get him through the first
5:42
Speaker 1: couple of games here until Mahomes starts to feel healthier
5:45
Speaker 1: and more confident, you know?
5:47
Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker is the perfect formula for extending Patrick Mahomes prime,
5:51
Speaker 4: where you're not putting all this pressure on Patrick Mahomes,
5:54
Speaker 4: where the Kenneth Walker. addition to Kansas City it feels
5:58
Speaker 4: like one that we're going to look back on in
6:00
Speaker 4: January and wonder how did the rest of the NFL
6:03
Speaker 4: let him end up in Kansas City and Stu that
6:06
Speaker 4: hand in the dirt play with with Patrick Mahomes yes
6:09
Speaker 4: it was Mahomes hand in the dirt Justin Fields was
6:12
Speaker 4: also in the backfield it counts as a passing touchdown
6:15
Speaker 4: to Kenneth Walker but it's basically an extended handoff yes
6:19
Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker said the film they watched on that play
6:22
Speaker 4: was tough to see because it was from the 1900s.
6:28
Speaker 1: Is that what he said?
6:30
Speaker 4: Eric Bien-Aimé is going back to the 1900s to pull
6:33
Speaker 4: up plays. Everybody else might be playing for second.
6:35
Speaker 1: That was not a touchdown pass. I don't care what
6:38
Speaker 1: it goes down as. That was not a touchdown pass.
6:40
Speaker 1: It was a toss to Kenneth Walker, a forward toss
6:44
Speaker 1: to Kenneth Walker.
6:45
Speaker 7: Dan, was that a touchdown pass?
6:46
Speaker 5: Here comes Patrick Mahomes.
6:49
Speaker 8: Walker said that the the video is so bad they
6:52
Speaker 8: could barely see the score bug that gave the decatur
6:54
Speaker 8: canton game in the corner that's how old it was
6:57
Speaker 8: they couldn't even figure out the font on the screen
7:00
Speaker 8: um just for your reference bills right now about a
7:03
Speaker 8: five to one favorite the uh ravens uh a slight
7:08
Speaker 8: slightly behind them at uh 11 to 2 and then
7:11
Speaker 8: you have kansas city right now at about 6 to
7:13
Speaker 8: 1 to come out of the afc.
7:14
Speaker 5: Smells like value.
7:15
Speaker 1: Yes, it does.
7:16
Speaker 5: Smells like value to me.
7:17
Speaker 4: And Stu, yesterday proved when the Chiefs breakout plays like that.
7:22
Speaker 2: Right.
7:23
Speaker 4: The Chiefs are at their best when their offense shows
7:26
Speaker 4: that they need wrinkles to just keep themselves entertained.
7:30
Speaker 5: Yes, they are.
7:32
Speaker 1: And if the Chiefs aren't going to give up that
7:34
Speaker 1: many points, they're going to win just about every game.
7:37
Speaker 1: Meaning if the defense is going to be that good,
7:38
Speaker 1: no one was expecting the defense to be this good.
7:41
Speaker 1: It's a young defense. They lost McDuffie. Spags is the
7:44
Speaker 1: greatest defensive coordinator ever. in the history of the NFL.
7:48
Speaker 1: If the defense is going to be that good, and
7:50
Speaker 1: I'm not certain they're going to be that good, but
7:52
Speaker 1: they were last night. If they continue, then yes, I
7:55
Speaker 1: would say the Chiefs are probably, with everything that we
7:58
Speaker 1: just said, probably the favorites out of the AFC.
8:01
Speaker 4: If you're telling me I have to back one of
8:02
Speaker 4: these AFC teams, Josh Allen, who's never made it to
8:06
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl, Lamar Jackson, who's never made it to
8:08
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl.
8:08
Speaker 1: Yep. Whatever Justin Herbert did in L.A.
8:11
Speaker 4: In week one.
8:11
Speaker 1: You're not backing him. Stop.
8:12
Speaker 5: Get him out of that conversation. Right.
8:15
Speaker 4: Where I want to put my money and back my horse.
8:19
Speaker 4: I want to be standing next to Spags and saying, Spags,
8:22
Speaker 4: you're my guy. Go dial up some blitzes.
8:24
Speaker 1: So what you're trying to do is you want to
8:26
Speaker 1: do it right now, right after week one, before everyone
8:29
Speaker 1: else jumps on board and says, hey, you know what?
8:31
Speaker 3: The Chiefs are the favorite out of the AFC. You
8:33
Speaker 3: want to be ahead of everyone here, right?
8:34
Speaker 5: This is me.
8:35
Speaker 4: Calling my shot right now. When we get to Radio Row,
8:38
Speaker 4: I'm going to have my feet up on the desk saying,
8:41
Speaker 4: You guys didn't think the Chiefs were going to be here?
8:44
Speaker 4: There were many years where I didn't think the Chiefs
8:46
Speaker 4: were going to be there.
8:47
Speaker 1: On record. And yet they kept showing up. So maybe
8:52
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, maybe you are right. Maybe they
8:55
Speaker 1: are the favorites in the AFC. I have no idea.
8:59
Speaker 1: That was very impressive. I'm more concerned. I have more
9:02
Speaker 1: questions about the Broncos. I have zero questions about the Chiefs.
9:05
Speaker 1: My questions are about Denver, Sean Payton, who's calling plays,
9:09
Speaker 1: and why that offense looks so putrid last night in
9:12
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Those are the questions you should have coming
9:15
Speaker 1: out of that game. That team was in the AFC
9:18
Speaker 1: championship game a year ago.
9:21
Speaker 3: It looked disastrous last night.
9:23
Speaker 4: It feels like with a franchise quarterback, I don't know
9:25
Speaker 4: if you agree with this, Dan. A franchise quarterback, you
9:28
Speaker 4: should know it when you see it. And when we
9:30
Speaker 4: see Bo Nix, I feel like we're left with too
9:33
Speaker 4: many times wondering, can Bo Nix be the guy in Denver?
9:36
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't put him in that category of franchise quarterback.
9:39
Speaker 8: I think he can be a good quarterback. But yeah,
9:42
Speaker 8: to your point, I'm not necessarily seeing it. And I
9:44
Speaker 8: like Bo Nix. I like what the Broncos have. I
9:47
Speaker 8: think last night was a tough on the road. Mahomes' return.
9:51
Speaker 8: Kansas City's juiced up. Denver doesn't know. By the way,
9:54
Speaker 8: Mahomes looked healthier than Bo Nix did last night. And
9:57
Speaker 8: Mahomes had the more severe injury in coming back from it.
10:00
Speaker 1: It.
10:00
Speaker 8: But, yeah, I think, Taylor, that's a fair assessment because
10:03
Speaker 8: I just don't know if he's got the it, it,
10:06
Speaker 8: it that you need to be that the guy that
10:08
Speaker 8: we talk about in the National Football League.
10:11
Speaker 6: Dan Beyer, you're a Seattle Seahawks fan. You, above all,
10:14
Speaker 6: with Sam Donald, you know he doesn't have to be
10:17
Speaker 6: the guy in order to win. And the Denver Broncos
10:20
Speaker 6: are supposed to be, they didn't show it yesterday, good
10:23
Speaker 6: enough on defense and have a good enough running game,
10:26
Speaker 6: top five offensive line to be able to I mean,
10:30
Speaker 6: win the AFC at least.
10:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have no problems with Denver as a team.
10:35
Speaker 8: But if we're talking about Bo Nix being that quarterback guy,
10:38
Speaker 8: just like we were talking about with Justin Herbert yesterday
10:40
Speaker 8: in the program, I don't necessarily have that feeling with
10:45
Speaker 8: Bo Nix. Didn't get help from Jalen Waddle last night.
10:47
Speaker 8: who's supposed to add to that. But different conversation for
10:50
Speaker 8: me when you're talking about Bo Nix as the quarterback
10:52
Speaker 8: as opposed to Denver as the team. I just think
10:54
Speaker 8: going into that Hornets' nest last night was difficult. I mean,
10:57
Speaker 8: the Chiefs fans were looking for something to cheer for.
11:00
Speaker 8: Last year was abysmal. I'll tell you what, as a
11:03
Speaker 8: Seahawks fan, and what Seahawks fans are saying today is
11:06
Speaker 8: saying like, oh, maybe we should have ran Kenneth Walker
11:08
Speaker 8: more last season or anybody that had Kenneth Walker in fantasy.
11:11
Speaker 8: We saw what he did in the playoffs and now
11:13
Speaker 8: what he's done in game one here. And he was
11:15
Speaker 8: splitting with Zach Charbonnet. So that is a conversation going
11:18
Speaker 8: on in the Pacific Northwest right now.
11:21
Speaker 3: I love football. I love fans. Dan, you're holding up
11:23
Speaker 3: the trophy.
11:23
Speaker 1: Who cares? Agreed. Agreed. If I told you, hey, Kenneth Walker,
11:29
Speaker 1: never going to play another down for you ever again,
11:32
Speaker 1: but you win a Super Bowl. You take that.
11:34
Speaker 7: For sure.
11:37
Speaker 8: It reminds me of the C.C. Sabathia with the Brewers.
11:39
Speaker 8: They were just like, all right, we're going to just
11:40
Speaker 8: run this thing. We know he's not coming back next year.
11:43
Speaker 8: And I think they knew that with Walker. But, man,
11:45
Speaker 8: he looked good last night. Like, really good.
11:47
Speaker 1: Yes, he did. Mikey, I have never seen Taylor happier.
11:51
Speaker 1: I've never seen him more pleased with himself. Since we're
11:54
Speaker 1: talking Chiefs, this happened yesterday. We were talking Chiefs with
11:57
Speaker 1: Sal Licata yesterday. Sal said something. Taylor had a rebuttal.
12:01
Speaker 1: I missed it. Totally whiffed. But I don't think Taylor
12:05
Speaker 1: has a prouder radio moment than the one I'm going
12:07
Speaker 1: to play for you right now.
12:09
Speaker 9: I think the Chiefs make a statement tonight and let
12:11
Speaker 9: everybody know that they're back. Maybe not back in the
12:13
Speaker 9: fullest of ways, but back enough to prove themselves against
12:16
Speaker 9: a very tough division opponent.
12:19
Speaker 4: What kind of statement is that?
12:24
Speaker 1: All i offered was yup like you followed what sal
12:29
Speaker 1: was saying i had no idea until taylor played it
12:31
Speaker 1: back for me.
12:32
Speaker 4: It sounded like sal wanted to give a take but
12:36
Speaker 4: instead of just jumping into the pool and doing a
12:39
Speaker 4: cannonball he was like trying to get in on the
12:41
Speaker 4: ladder like very very slowly.
12:43
Speaker 1: All right let's slowly dissect this take here from sal
12:46
Speaker 1: lakata who is not with us today he'll be back
12:48
Speaker 1: later this week Let's play it one more time. Here's
12:52
Speaker 1: Sal and Taylor.
12:54
Speaker 9: I think the Chiefs make a statement tonight and let
12:56
Speaker 9: everybody know that they're back. Maybe not back in the
12:58
Speaker 9: fullest of ways, but back enough to prove themselves against
13:02
Speaker 9: a very tough division opponent.
13:04
Speaker 4: What kind of statement is that?
13:06
Speaker 3: So back enough.
13:10
Speaker 4: He walked back the statement. They're going to make a statement,
13:14
Speaker 4: but not the statement that everybody thinks they are going
13:16
Speaker 4: to make.
13:17
Speaker 1: Right.
13:17
Speaker 4: It's, it's, I was listening to that and saying, what
13:20
Speaker 4: happened to Sal? I knew on WFAN, the sound WFAN
13:24
Speaker 4: would not give that middleman take.
13:25
Speaker 2: Yes.
13:26
Speaker 1: He's a changed man. Maybe he's lost a little on
13:29
Speaker 1: the fastball, but you're right. Like that is a middling take.
13:36
Speaker 1: He said nothing.
13:38
Speaker 8: It's like he put his toe in the water with
13:39
Speaker 8: we're back, and then the water was too cold, and
13:42
Speaker 8: then he's stepping out.
13:43
Speaker 7: But not back, back, but back enough where.
13:50
Speaker 3: No, I think your analysis of this is right.
13:52
Speaker 1: He didn't want to commit to them being fully back,
13:55
Speaker 1: but they're back enough where they could compete against a
13:57
Speaker 1: divisional opponent in week one of the NFL season. It's
14:01
Speaker 1: a ridiculous take.
14:04
Speaker 6: He jumped in the pool, but instead of like doing
14:06
Speaker 6: a full on like dive or a cannonball, he grabbed
14:09
Speaker 6: the side to keep his upper body from going in
14:11
Speaker 6: the water.
14:13
Speaker 4: And I'm kind of, I'm kind of the lifeguard standing
14:15
Speaker 4: off to the side, like, Hey, come on, get it,
14:17
Speaker 4: get in the water.
14:20
Speaker 8: I feel the visual is, and you guys can see this,
14:23
Speaker 8: but we're back, but not enough to be fully back,
14:27
Speaker 8: but back enough to be against a good division opponent,
14:31
Speaker 8: but we're at home, but they've got a quarterback coming
14:34
Speaker 8: off of an injury, but we've got a quarterback coming
14:37
Speaker 8: off of an injury, but Travis Kelsey is married, but
14:40
Speaker 8: we've got Kenneth Walker, all of that encompassing, just moving
14:44
Speaker 8: up and down.
14:45
Speaker 7: Just like a stock would.
14:46
Speaker 5: Tom Cruise is here.
14:47
Speaker 3: Tom Cruise, yeah.
14:49
Speaker 7: But not enough with Tom Cruise in attendance. All right,
14:54
Speaker 7: let's play it one more time.
14:55
Speaker 1: I want you to listen and listen closely to Taylor's
14:59
Speaker 1: confusion as Sal is giving this take because you can
15:02
Speaker 1: hear it. It's rare that you can hear confusion. You
15:04
Speaker 1: can hear it right here.
15:05
Speaker 5: Play it again.
15:06
Speaker 9: I think the Chiefs make a statement tonight and let
15:08
Speaker 9: everybody know that they're back. Maybe not back in the
15:10
Speaker 9: fullest of ways, but back enough to prove themselves against
15:14
Speaker 9: a very tough division opponent.
15:16
Speaker 4: What kind of statement is that?
15:18
Speaker 1: It's genuine Confusement Is that a word? Confusement?
15:24
Speaker 6: That was a bad teammate move by you That was
15:27
Speaker 6: a bad teammate.
15:28
Speaker 1: Move But so good, yes It's better than what I
15:30
Speaker 1: gave him If.
15:32
Speaker 4: He just stuck to his guns And said they're going
15:35
Speaker 4: to make a statement He would be sitting here today
15:37
Speaker 4: saying Yes, I was right, they did make a statement
15:40
Speaker 4: Instead he walked it back a.
15:42
Speaker 1: Bit Yes, it turns out he should have jumped All
15:44
Speaker 1: the way in the pool and stayed there Laughter Because
15:48
Speaker 1: they are back. They're not just competing with divisional opponents.
15:51
Speaker 1: They're blowing them out with Mahomes, who's not right yet.
15:56
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gatz and
15:58
Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific
16:03
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
16:08
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepard still doing it, huh?
16:13
Speaker 7: Not quite.
16:15
Speaker 3: Well, he's playing still. But he's still in the league, man. Mikey,
16:20
Speaker 3: you'll laugh at this.
16:21
Speaker 1: They are criticizing Matt Nagy for how much better the
16:24
Speaker 1: offense is. with Eric Biennemi in Kansas City, yet Matt
16:27
Speaker 1: Nagy is the toast of the town in New York.
16:29
Speaker 1: I can't figure football out, man. I have no idea
16:32
Speaker 1: if Nagy is good at this or if he's bad
16:34
Speaker 1: at this. He had Patrick Mahomes. He was terrible. He
16:37
Speaker 1: has Jackson Dart. He's great through one game. Football.
16:42
Speaker 8: I'll tell you what, with Matt Nagy, he focused way
16:44
Speaker 8: too much on that Cody Parkey field goal miss in Chicago,
16:47
Speaker 8: the double doink. Like they were so fixated on that.
16:51
Speaker 8: They actually made the playoffs twice under Nagy there, but
16:55
Speaker 8: they were so worried about the stupid double doink.
16:57
Speaker 1: And man.
17:00
Speaker 8: Win-win-win, as Michael Scott would say, because New York gets Nagy,
17:04
Speaker 8: Chiefs have their, and the Ravens, they wanted to get
17:06
Speaker 8: rid of John Harbaugh, and now Declan Doyle and Jesse
17:09
Speaker 8: Minter are the toast of the town.
17:10
Speaker 1: Everybody wins. Win-win-win-win-win-win-win. Yes. The double doink, though, Dan.
17:15
Speaker 5: We win, too.
17:17
Speaker 4: The double doink feels like something that's tough to come
17:19
Speaker 4: back from as a head coach.
17:22
Speaker 3: It is the most impossible thing to come back from.
17:25
Speaker 7: Yes.
17:25
Speaker 3: The double doink loss.
17:26
Speaker 1: Yes.
17:27
Speaker 8: Like we think a double doink is like, how awful
17:29
Speaker 8: is that? But it's also of like how close that
17:31
Speaker 8: could have gone in.
17:32
Speaker 1: Right.
17:32
Speaker 7: It had two opportunities to go in.
17:35
Speaker 8: And then when they were trying out kickers, because everybody
17:36
Speaker 8: was mad at Cody Parkey, he's making them kick a
17:38
Speaker 8: 43-yard field goal, which is focusing so much on what
17:42
Speaker 8: was a really, really close kick.
17:45
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember the aftermath of that? Thank you
17:47
Speaker 1: for jarring my memory, Dan, because they had tryouts for kickers.
17:50
Speaker 1: I mean, they were taking anyone off the street, anyone
17:53
Speaker 1: who could kick.
17:55
Speaker 7: From 43 yards, whatever. I think that was the distance,
17:58
Speaker 7: but my goodness.
18:00
Speaker 4: I also had this thought after the Thursday night football
18:03
Speaker 4: game with Patriots Seahawks where Drake May has that catastrophic mistake.
18:08
Speaker 4: And I was thinking like.
18:08
Speaker 5: That was Wednesday.
18:11
Speaker 1: Last season.
18:11
Speaker 4: Oh, that was the Wednesday game.
18:12
Speaker 1: Yes.
18:13
Speaker 4: And the Rams 49ers was the Thursday night game.
18:15
Speaker 1: Yes.
18:16
Speaker 4: I had the thought if Drake May's career never recovers
18:19
Speaker 4: from this mistake, I wouldn't be that surprised. Even though
18:22
Speaker 4: he was an MVP candidate. I know we're doing overreaction Mondays.
18:25
Speaker 1: Right.
18:26
Speaker 4: I would still be surprised. And it's Tuesday.
18:32
Speaker 3: You got nothing right there.
18:37
Speaker 7: That's a Brett Musburger.
18:39
Speaker 1: Mark it down.
18:40
Speaker 7: That's what it is. Brett Musburger. Mark it down.
18:43
Speaker 8: 535 in the second quarter. Mark it down.
18:46
Speaker 1: I mean, if you wonder why I'm confused. And a
18:50
Speaker 1: bit dizzy. No, he doesn't. He doesn't recover from these things.
18:54
Speaker 4: I was confused.
18:54
Speaker 7: I had no idea what he was trying to say.
18:57
Speaker 4: Somebody bring in the righty.
18:59
Speaker 1: All right, I'm bringing in Mikey A. If the season
19:04
Speaker 1: ended today, it's a tradition around here. We do it
19:07
Speaker 1: every single week, and we are only through week one. So,
19:10
Speaker 1: Mikey A., take it away.
19:11
Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
19:15
Speaker 6: All right, so as Stu said, this is something we
19:17
Speaker 6: do a lot where we just end the NFL season
19:20
Speaker 6: right now, and this is the world we're going to
19:22
Speaker 6: live in. If the season ended today, your number one
19:27
Speaker 6: seed in the AFC would be the Jacksonville Jaguars.
19:30
Speaker 5: Wow.
19:32
Speaker 3: So what he's asking us is, do we think that's
19:35
Speaker 3: going to hold, right?
19:35
Speaker 1: Essentially? Essentially.
19:39
Speaker 5: I'm just asking you if you'd be surprised if you'd
19:42
Speaker 5: like that.
19:43
Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't be surprised.
19:43
Speaker 5: Now I'm going to give you the playoff matchup.
19:45
Speaker 1: Well, it's a fact, though. The Jaguars would be the
19:47
Speaker 1: number one seed. Yes. If the season ended today.
19:51
Speaker 7: And the last place you'd want to go in the
19:53
Speaker 7: playoffs in January is northeast Florida.
19:57
Speaker 8: To a stadium that's only half being used because it's
19:59
Speaker 8: being built for a new stadium. And they have to
20:02
Speaker 8: put lights in the upper deck because they have nowhere
20:04
Speaker 8: else to put them. That's the last place you want
20:07
Speaker 8: to go in January in the NFL.
20:08
Speaker 1: Yes. You're so right, Dan, because all the other AFC
20:11
Speaker 1: contenders are saying, hey, if we're not going to be
20:12
Speaker 1: the one seed, let us be two, three or four.
20:14
Speaker 3: But let Jacksonville be the one seed. It's like a
20:18
Speaker 3: home game for us.
20:19
Speaker 1: Right.
20:21
Speaker 5: So here are your games in the AFC playoffs. If
20:24
Speaker 5: the season ended today.
20:25
Speaker 1: So if the season ended today after a week, this
20:28
Speaker 1: would be your playoff matchups in the AFC.
20:31
Speaker 5: OK, this is correct.
20:32
Speaker 1: All right.
20:33
Speaker 6: All right. The Cincinnati Bengals would be traveling to the
20:36
Speaker 6: Kansas City Chiefs.
20:38
Speaker 1: Hmm. I'll take that game right now. So whenever, right
20:40
Speaker 1: now I would take this game.
20:42
Speaker 5: Yes.
20:42
Speaker 3: Would my homes take this game?
20:45
Speaker 8: I like Kansas city in that matchup to make a
20:48
Speaker 8: solid victory.
20:50
Speaker 7: However, not enough, you know? Yeah.
20:52
Speaker 8: To say that they're there, the playoffs, but give me
20:55
Speaker 8: the chiefs.
20:56
Speaker 1: Wow. What a great matchup.
20:58
Speaker 3: Bengals at chiefs.
21:00
Speaker 1: Hold on. I thought we're picking the game. I mean,
21:03
Speaker 1: It gets better.
21:04
Speaker 5: You got to move.
21:05
Speaker 1: All right. I have the Bengals in there.
21:06
Speaker 4: It's hard to see how it's going to get better
21:07
Speaker 4: than that game.
21:09
Speaker 1: It's impossible.
21:11
Speaker 5: The Buffalo Bills travel to the Baltimore Ravens.
21:14
Speaker 1: It's possible. So now it's Bills at Ravens. If the
21:22
Speaker 1: season ended today, you would have the greatest first round
21:25
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL playoffs. I wish the
21:28
Speaker 1: season did end today. But Bill's at Ravens. That's a
21:32
Speaker 1: battle of two quarterbacks.
21:34
Speaker 5: Chasing a ring, man.
21:35
Speaker 1: Wow.
21:36
Speaker 3: And the winner goes on to face Cincinnati, I guess.
21:39
Speaker 1: I don't know.
21:40
Speaker 5: Or Jacksonville.
21:41
Speaker 1: Or Jacksonville.
21:41
Speaker 5: Depends on the third matchup, too.
21:42
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's not winning this time.
21:44
Speaker 5: Remember how I said it gets better?
21:45
Speaker 1: Yes.
21:47
Speaker 6: That was the last game. Your last matchup is the
21:49
Speaker 6: Raiders at the Jets. That's your NFL Network Saturday night game,
21:53
Speaker 6: I bet.
21:55
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, people's heads would explode.
21:58
Speaker 3: Raiders at Jets.
22:02
Speaker 1: A revenge spot for Gino Smith Gino right not the
22:05
Speaker 1: exact revenge that he wants but revenge nonetheless.
22:09
Speaker 8: We also got a tweet this from 1968 yes please
22:13
Speaker 8: on Jets Raiders 1968 loves.
22:16
Speaker 7: That matchup.
22:18
Speaker 1: The Oakland Raiders right yes.
22:20
Speaker 7: Raiders Jets they're good with it I have the.
22:23
Speaker 1: Jets in that game.
22:25
Speaker 4: Oh yeah Jets would be at least minus four and
22:26
Speaker 4: a half.
22:27
Speaker 1: Wait that means Kirk Cousins would still be starting for
22:29
Speaker 1: the Raiders if they made it that far right sure
22:32
Speaker 1: i mean.
22:32
Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
22:34
Speaker 5: If the season ended today cousins is still starting.
22:37
Speaker 10: What a weekend we have in store for us i
22:39
Speaker 10: mean would gina smith be the first quarterback to win
22:41
Speaker 10: a division without throwing a touchdown pass the entire season
22:45
Speaker 10: i think that's that's also borderline history with what we have.
22:50
Speaker 4: Mikey did the steelers miss the playoffs at one and
22:52
Speaker 4: oh They did.
22:54
Speaker 1: Tiebreaker. Yeah, tiebreakers.
22:56
Speaker 5: Yep.
22:57
Speaker 1: If the season ended today. Yes.
22:58
Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
22:59
Speaker 1: That's cruel.
22:59
Speaker 10: Why?
23:00
Speaker 1: Undefeated.
23:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, undefeated.
23:03
Speaker 1: And it made the playoffs.
23:04
Speaker 3: Right.
23:05
Speaker 5: You want to talk cruel. Let's go to the NFC.
23:07
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
23:09
Speaker 5: In the NFC, your number one seed is the San
23:11
Speaker 5: Francisco 49ers. They get the bye.
23:13
Speaker 4: Deserved.
23:14
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
23:14
Speaker 1: Okay.
23:16
Speaker 5: Your first matchup.
23:18
Speaker 1: They earned it.
23:18
Speaker 6: The Philadelphia Eagles are at the Minnesota Vikings.
23:22
Speaker 2: Yes.
23:23
Speaker 1: So it's a loud revenge game for Carson Wentz.
23:26
Speaker 4: Wow.
23:36
Speaker 3: I mean, if the season ended today, Carson Wentz would
23:39
Speaker 3: be the.
23:39
Speaker 1: Quarterback in that game. Yes.
23:43
Speaker 5: Your second matchup.
23:45
Speaker 1: Yes.
23:45
Speaker 6: The Detroit Lions would also be traveling to New York.
23:49
Speaker 2: Yes.
23:50
Speaker 5: To face the new york giants.
23:51
Speaker 1: Wow so if the season ended today both new york
23:54
Speaker 1: teams would make the playoffs.
23:57
Speaker 5: They're hosting two games in two days.
23:59
Speaker 1: Yes i mean i think the giants are going to
24:04
Speaker 1: make the playoffs so i know the season doesn't end
24:07
Speaker 1: today we have you know 17 more weeks of this
24:09
Speaker 1: crap but i still have the giants making the playoffs
24:14
Speaker 1: i'm trying to think who would win that game it's
24:17
Speaker 1: a tough game It's a tough game. It is. I mean, Campbell, Harbaugh.
24:24
Speaker 1: I'll take the Giants.
24:29
Speaker 5: Your last matchup in the playoffs, if the season ended today.
24:32
Speaker 1: Yes.
24:33
Speaker 6: The Chicago Bears would be traveling. to the winless new
24:38
Speaker 6: Orleans saints who are hosting a play.
24:40
Speaker 1: Oh, wait a second. You can't be right.
24:42
Speaker 5: That can't be right.
24:43
Speaker 3: Wait, you cannot have undefeated South winter.
24:46
Speaker 4: Oh, I forgot.
24:47
Speaker 1: You can't have on. It's so perfect for the NFC South.
24:50
Speaker 7: They did it.
24:50
Speaker 1: You can't, you can't have undefeated teams, not making it
24:53
Speaker 1: to the post season and.
24:55
Speaker 3: Winless teams, making it to the post season.
24:57
Speaker 1: You can't do it.
24:58
Speaker 5: You sure can.
25:00
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, what was that matchup bears
25:03
Speaker 1: at Panthers?
25:04
Speaker 5: No bears at.
25:05
Speaker 1: Saints no i wish every week was bears at panthers
25:13
Speaker 1: what an entertaining game yes nfc south winner i have
25:17
Speaker 1: the bears winning that game and then winning the next
25:19
Speaker 1: game and the next game and the next game.
25:21
Speaker 6: How about that and listen don't don't don't dismiss tyler
25:25
Speaker 6: shuck he's your uh nfl passing leader If the season
25:29
Speaker 6: ended today.
25:30
Speaker 1: Without a win.
25:32
Speaker 5: Without a win.
25:33
Speaker 3: They would be the first winless team to ever make.
25:36
Speaker 1: It to the playoffs.
25:38
Speaker 7: So the Saints get in based on.
25:39
Speaker 5: You know who would have led the league in interceptions?
25:41
Speaker 1: Who?
25:42
Speaker 5: If the season ended today.
25:43
Speaker 1: The Jets.
25:44
Speaker 5: TJ Watt.
25:45
Speaker 1: TJ, of course.
25:49
Speaker 8: Saints get in based on best combined ranking among conference
25:52
Speaker 8: teams in points scored and points allowed.
25:56
Speaker 5: Wow.
25:57
Speaker 2: Yep.
25:58
Speaker 1: Really taking this seriously, Dan. I like it. I mean,
26:00
Speaker 1: that's the point of the game.
26:01
Speaker 7: He's checking my work, and I like it.
26:03
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.
26:04
Speaker 3: I am so happy that you're this into it. I
26:06
Speaker 3: didn't think anyone was this into it other than me
26:08
Speaker 3: and Billy Gill.
26:09
Speaker 8: $ 100, these matchups are better than what we actually get
26:11
Speaker 8: in January. Like, these are magnificent so far.
26:15
Speaker 1: They really are. You're right. We should stop the season
26:18
Speaker 1: today because we might not get these come January. Yes.
26:23
Speaker 6: Listen, as a Jets fan, if the season ended today,
26:26
Speaker 6: the Jets are picking second.
26:29
Speaker 5: Thanks to the Green Bay Packers.
26:30
Speaker 1: Right.
26:31
Speaker 5: Sixth, thanks to the Indianapolis Colts.
26:33
Speaker 1: Wow.
26:34
Speaker 5: And the Tampa Bay Bucks are on the clock.
26:36
Speaker 1: So they make the playoffs. They still have the second
26:39
Speaker 1: pick and the sixth pick in next year's NFL draft.
26:42
Speaker 1: And if, you know, perhaps they get bounced out in
26:44
Speaker 1: the first round, Geno's getting older, they could still get
26:47
Speaker 1: their quarterback of the future. Wow. What a season.
26:49
Speaker 5: Yes.
26:51
Speaker 4: The other option there.
26:52
Speaker 1: We had a week.
26:53
Speaker 4: You get Geno Smith some help. Jeremiah Smith in New
26:56
Speaker 4: York next year.
26:58
Speaker 5: That's what the sixth pick is for.
27:02
Speaker 7: You mentioned the Carson Wentz Bowl. I'm still stuck.
27:04
Speaker 8: Does Sam Bradford show up in the half-and-half jersey, like
27:07
Speaker 8: the half-Vikings, half-Eagles jersey for that game? There's a lot
27:11
Speaker 8: riding on the line here. A lot of cross-pollination.
27:16
Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
27:17
Speaker 7: If the season ended today.
27:20
Speaker 3: Wait, so the Texans aren't in?
27:23
Speaker 5: Texans aren't in?
27:24
Speaker 7: Seahawks aren't in.
27:26
Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
27:27
Speaker 1: Now I know why he's pissed off.
27:29
Speaker 3: This is why he's so engaged.
27:31
Speaker 7: This is why I'm reading tiebreakers.
27:33
Speaker 5: The Texans are picking fourth.
27:35
Speaker 1: Oh, wow. They get their quarterback. If the season ended today,
27:43
Speaker 1: when would the draft be?
27:47
Speaker 5: Tomorrow.
27:48
Speaker 4: I would be fine if we just got rid of
27:49
Speaker 4: the NFC South entirely.
27:51
Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Would you be okay if
27:53
Speaker 1: we got rid of the NFC South entirely?
27:55
Speaker 4: Just like disband them and send them to other divisions.
27:58
Speaker 1: Agreed.
27:59
Speaker 2: Yes.
27:59
Speaker 1: I'm all for it.
28:01
Speaker 5: I mean, why?
28:01
Speaker 1: What's the point? I mean, one of those teams is
28:04
Speaker 1: going to go 8-9 and make it to the postseason
28:06
Speaker 1: and get bounced out in the first round.
28:08
Speaker 3: A tradition unlike any other.
28:12
Speaker 5: That was the Panthers Super Bowl last year, remember?
28:14
Speaker 3: If the season ended today.
28:15
Speaker 5: Toe to toe with the Rams.
28:17
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, who would be your MVP?
28:19
Speaker 1: One week.
28:23
Speaker 4: For me, it would be Josh Allen.
28:25
Speaker 1: I would go Kenneth Walker.
28:26
Speaker 4: Wow, I forgot about Kenneth Walker already, actually.
28:30
Speaker 5: That was impressive.
28:31
Speaker 3: So it's the MVP of week one, essentially, is what
28:33
Speaker 3: I'm asking.
28:34
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams.
28:37
Speaker 7: Oh, that's right.
28:37
Speaker 1: I forgot about it.
28:38
Speaker 4: Coach of the year, Ben Johnson.
28:40
Speaker 1: Coach of the year, Ben Johnson, MVP, Caleb Williams. Yes,
28:44
Speaker 1: I agree.
28:45
Speaker 2: Yes.
28:46
Speaker 1: The Bears winning the Super Bowl. If the season ended today.
28:51
Speaker 5: Chris Olave, your offensive player of the year, leads the
28:54
Speaker 5: league in receiving.
28:55
Speaker 1: Does it?
28:57
Speaker 7: Derek Henry would also get some votes.
28:59
Speaker 2: Right.
28:59
Speaker 1: He would love a one-game season because eventually Olave is
29:02
Speaker 1: going to get hurt. First year, he stayed upright the
29:07
Speaker 1: entire season. He's covered with the Guardian cap now. Those
29:12
Speaker 1: days are in the past. I like the Saints, man.
29:17
Speaker 1: I want the Saints to do well. I like Shuck.
29:19
Speaker 1: I like that team. They're entertaining. They're fun.
29:22
Speaker 3: Why are you shaking your head, Taylor? You don't like
29:24
Speaker 3: that division?
29:25
Speaker 4: I like Shuck. I don't like the supporting cast around Shuck.
29:29
Speaker 4: What are we supposed to have Shuck on? They leave
29:33
Speaker 4: a lot to be desired, the New Orleans Saints.
29:35
Speaker 1: I'm working on it.
29:38
Speaker 5: Work harder.
29:38
Speaker 1: You think Shuck likes his surrounding talent? I think he
29:43
Speaker 1: likes the guys on offense. The defense, he probably has
29:45
Speaker 1: some questions.
29:45
Speaker 4: Remember when we had Tyler Shuck on and we asked him, like,
29:48
Speaker 4: who would you add to this team? And he said,
29:49
Speaker 4: Alec Pierce. And everybody kind of looked around and said,
29:52
Speaker 4: Alec Pierce?
29:52
Speaker 1: Yes, it was weird. Right.
29:54
Speaker 3: No, I asked him, hey, you can have one wide
29:56
Speaker 3: receiver in the NFL.
29:57
Speaker 1: Anyone. You can pick anyone.
29:59
Speaker 3: They're all at your disposal. And he thought for a minute,
30:03
Speaker 3: and then he thought some more.
30:04
Speaker 1: And what he blurted back to us was Alec Pierce,
30:06
Speaker 1: and we all looked at each other like he was
30:08
Speaker 1: an alien.
30:08
Speaker 2: I mean.
30:10
Speaker 6: See, but that's Tyler Shuck playing chess while we're playing checkers.
30:14
Speaker 6: He knew if he said somebody currently on a team,
30:17
Speaker 6: he could get fined for tampering.
30:19
Speaker 5: So he said a free agent. He said the best
30:21
Speaker 5: free agent available.
30:22
Speaker 1: It's a heady blood.
30:23
Speaker 4: I'm not sure there's any world where Alec Pierce is
30:25
Speaker 4: the best free agent available.
30:27
Speaker 5: Best wide receiver free agent available.
30:29
Speaker 1: So you're saying at the time he just didn't know
30:31
Speaker 1: his options is essentially what you're saying. He just he can't.
30:34
Speaker 5: Say Justin Jefferson. Right.
30:36
Speaker 6: Vikings sue for another tampering and they cost him a
30:39
Speaker 6: second round pick or something.
30:40
Speaker 5: Can't do it.
30:41
Speaker 1: No, but Taylor's saying there could be two free agent
30:44
Speaker 1: wide receivers and the best one is never going to
30:46
Speaker 1: be out here.
30:47
Speaker 5: Yes.
30:48
Speaker 7: Alec Pierce or Sterling Shepard. Who do you like?
30:52
Speaker 4: I'll take OBJ over.
30:55
Speaker 6: Is it possible he thought I said white receiver instead
30:57
Speaker 6: of wide receiver?
31:03
Speaker 3: That concludes if the season ended today.
31:05
Speaker 7: Luckily, it doesn't.
31:10
Speaker 1: Well, the Jets do. And a lave. Taylor, what is
31:14
Speaker 1: happening with this Tennessee Titan fan who's getting attacked by
31:17
Speaker 1: the internet?
31:17
Speaker 3: What is going on there?
31:20
Speaker 4: So a Titans fan made the catastrophic mistake of putting
31:23
Speaker 4: out a promise on social media if the Titans were
31:28
Speaker 4: to lose to the Jets.
31:29
Speaker 1: Right.
31:29
Speaker 4: So August 23rd, a Twitter user by the handle of BallinFFB,
31:35
Speaker 4: if the Tennessee Titans lose to the Jets... If the
31:39
Speaker 4: Tennessee Titans lose to the Jets week one, I will
31:41
Speaker 4: walk from MetLife Stadium all the way to Nissan Stadium nonstop.
31:47
Speaker 5: Right.
31:47
Speaker 1: Okay. And?
31:49
Speaker 4: Time to pay up the bet because the Jets win.
31:52
Speaker 4: The Jets beat the Titans 23 to 10. And this
31:54
Speaker 4: guy has come to Twitter and said, I'm not walking.
31:58
Speaker 1: He's the Stugatz of the day. I mean, how about that?
32:01
Speaker 1: He is not walking. Why would he put that out
32:04
Speaker 1: there and then not pay off the bet? I mean,
32:07
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous.
32:08
Speaker 5: Because his nickname, his Twitter handle is Ballin'. Yes. That's why.
32:12
Speaker 5: Because he's one of those people.
32:13
Speaker 1: Yes.
32:14
Speaker 4: So once he put this up on August 23rd, the
32:16
Speaker 4: next day it had started to blow up because Jets
32:20
Speaker 4: fans were like, hey, we are going to hold you
32:22
Speaker 4: accountable if the Jets win this game.
32:24
Speaker 1: Right.
32:24
Speaker 4: And Jets fans are tweeting at him like, make sure
32:27
Speaker 4: you hydrate. He's like, oh, we're not losing to the
32:29
Speaker 4: lousy Jets. So when you put Nissan Stadium to MetLife
32:32
Speaker 4: Stadium in Google Maps or Apple Maps.
32:35
Speaker 2: Right.
32:35
Speaker 4: It says you can't walk.
32:38
Speaker 1: What?
32:38
Speaker 4: It says you can only drive because I'm assuming they're
32:41
Speaker 4: saying you can't walk on like major highways.
32:43
Speaker 1: Right.
32:43
Speaker 4: So that's what this guy, this fan is now using
32:46
Speaker 4: as his excuse. The walk apparently is impossible, but if
32:50
Speaker 4: a car could get you there.
32:51
Speaker 1: Yes.
32:52
Speaker 4: So can your feet. And this guy better get walking.
32:55
Speaker 3: He found the loophole.
32:56
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's funny, the least accountable fan base
33:00
Speaker 1: in all of sports is trying to hold someone accountable
33:03
Speaker 1: for something they said on social media. I mean, Jet
33:08
Speaker 1: fans holding a guy accountable is laugh out loud funny.
33:11
Speaker 1: He should walk, though.
33:13
Speaker 3: Stu, 1,000%.
33:14
Speaker 4: The second you put it on social media, if blank happens,
33:18
Speaker 4: I'll do blank. You have to follow through on that
33:20
Speaker 4: because I don't know if you guys remember this. A
33:22
Speaker 4: Florida State fan did something similar when they were playing
33:25
Speaker 4: Boston College back in 2024.
33:27
Speaker 2: Right.
33:27
Speaker 4: An FSU fan with the handle 321Knoll posted a claim
33:33
Speaker 4: saying that, He would eat something coming from a dog
33:37
Speaker 4: out of a Red Solo cup using a spoon and
33:40
Speaker 4: post a video because he was that sure that they
33:42
Speaker 4: would not lose to FSU.
33:44
Speaker 8: Right.
33:44
Speaker 4: And FSU wound up losing the game 28 to 13.
33:48
Speaker 1: Yes.
33:48
Speaker 4: And since that has happened. fsu is cursed like nothing
33:52
Speaker 4: has gone right for fsu since this fan made made
33:56
Speaker 4: this proclamation.
33:57
Speaker 1: They fired their ad correct not their coach mike norvell
34:00
Speaker 1: that's coming they fired the ad florida state yes.
34:03
Speaker 4: Yeah this is what we call in the business the
34:05
Speaker 4: move before.
34:05
Speaker 1: The move they fired the guy who made the hire
34:07
Speaker 1: right and then the.
34:09
Speaker 4: New ad comes in and it's a lot easier for
34:12
Speaker 4: the new ad to say hey this guy's not my
34:14
Speaker 4: guy get him out of town this is.
34:15
Speaker 8: The severe thunderstorm watch That's what this is. And the
34:19
Speaker 8: warning is very, very soon to follow.
34:24
Speaker 1: The only supporter you have in the entire school is
34:28
Speaker 1: no longer there. Deion Sanders is head of the Florida State.
34:31
Speaker 1: I think Taylor's going to be right about this. I do.
34:33
Speaker 4: Yeah. It just makes too much sense. And you would
34:36
Speaker 4: assume that... norvell's buyout is like 50 plus million dollars
34:41
Speaker 4: fsu's not going to want to break the bank on
34:43
Speaker 4: their next coaching hire dion going back to his alma
34:47
Speaker 4: mater shouldn't necessarily do that especially like it's not like
34:51
Speaker 4: dion you're going to be bidding against other schools for
34:54
Speaker 4: dion because if another school wanted dion by now he
34:57
Speaker 4: wouldn't still be at colorado.
34:58
Speaker 1: Are you saying that dion would give them a hometown
35:00
Speaker 1: discount is that what you're kind of saying Not so.
35:03
Speaker 4: Much a hometown discount, because nothing about Deion Sanders gives
35:06
Speaker 4: off that he's going to give anybody a hometown discount.
35:08
Speaker 4: You get him at market value, at the very least.
35:11
Speaker 1: I think he might give them an actual hometown discount,
35:14
Speaker 1: because Deion Sanders has money. I think people are surprised
35:17
Speaker 1: just how seriously Deion is taking the coaching thing. I
35:20
Speaker 1: think at first, everyone thought he was in it for
35:22
Speaker 1: his son, and he has proven that that was not
35:25
Speaker 1: the only reason he was doing this. He loves to coach,
35:28
Speaker 1: and why not coach at Florida State? He would be
35:30
Speaker 1: the perfect coach for... For Florida State. He would be. Yeah, Mikey.
35:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you don't need a hometown discount. You just
35:37
Speaker 6: kind of have to match what Colorado is paying.
35:39
Speaker 1: Right.
35:39
Speaker 6: And then it's like, well, would you rather make this
35:41
Speaker 6: much money in Colorado or Florida State?
35:44
Speaker 5: And there's your answer. Right.
35:45
Speaker 4: The mistake Florida State can't make is the mistake that
35:48
Speaker 4: North Carolina make. No, not by hiring Bill Belichick. But
35:51
Speaker 4: when you look at the contract.
35:53
Speaker 5: Mike Lombardi.
35:54
Speaker 1: No disaster i mean two-part disaster only three and a half.
35:59
Speaker 4: Point underdog against clemson on the road this week.
36:01
Speaker 1: I tell you they're better i mean you have to
36:03
Speaker 1: get belichick credit the carolina is better this year yes.
36:06
Speaker 4: But the mistake that north carolina made is when you
36:08
Speaker 4: look at bill belichick's contract and you slot it against
36:11
Speaker 4: other college football coaches the results you're getting are nowhere
36:14
Speaker 4: near a top 10 paid coach in college football but
36:17
Speaker 4: that's what they paid belichick to be at North Carolina.
36:21
Speaker 4: And you're looking around at the landscape of college football,
36:23
Speaker 4: like who was North Carolina bidding against for bill Belichick
36:27
Speaker 4: to come back where you had, you feel like you
36:29
Speaker 4: had to give them, you know, 10 plus million dollars
36:31
Speaker 4: a year to coach.
36:33
Speaker 1: I'd like to get the guy who's supposed to be
36:34
Speaker 1: walking to Nissan stadium on the show. Can we get, no, cause.
36:39
Speaker 4: He's also doing this pivot now where he's like, I'll
36:41
Speaker 4: donate money to charity instead. And it's like, he said
36:44
Speaker 4: he would donate a hundred dollars for every point the
36:47
Speaker 4: jet scored and If they beat the Titans, which is $ 2, 300,
36:51
Speaker 4: a good, good amount of money to go into charity,
36:53
Speaker 4: but also like get your walk, use some of that
36:55
Speaker 4: money to get some walking shoes, buddy.
36:57
Speaker 1: Would you walk from New York to Tennessee? If it
37:00
Speaker 1: meant you didn't have to part with $ 2, 300, that's a
37:01
Speaker 1: good chunk of change. I mean, what you would fork
37:06
Speaker 1: up the $ 2, 300.
37:09
Speaker 5: I wouldn't make a stupid claim.
37:11
Speaker 4: That walk is like eight days.
37:16
Speaker 3: I understand that, Mikey, but it was the Jets.
37:22
Speaker 4: You had no way of knowing. If North Carolina loses
37:26
Speaker 4: to Duke and basketball, I'll walk from UNC to Duke.
37:29
Speaker 1: It's a mile.
37:31
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
37:35
Speaker 2: live weekdays at 3 p.m.
37:37
Speaker 5: Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific.
37:40
Speaker 1: Eric Armstead from the Jacksonville Jaguars is going to join
37:43
Speaker 1: us coming up in about 15 minutes or so. But
37:45
Speaker 1: Taylor has his tears on a Tuesday, Mike. The football
37:48
Speaker 1: weekend has ended. We had Monday night football last night.
37:52
Speaker 1: The Chiefs look very, very good. Broncos, I would be concerned.
37:56
Speaker 1: But he does have his tears on a Tuesday, Mikey.
37:58
Speaker 1: Excited for this?
38:00
Speaker 5: I'm always excited for Taylor's tears. He puts a lot
38:02
Speaker 5: of thought into them.
38:03
Speaker 1: Yes.
38:03
Speaker 6: And, and frankly, I usually am pretty good at guessing
38:07
Speaker 6: what he's got when he.
38:08
Speaker 5: Gives me what a tear is called. Right.
38:10
Speaker 3: Taylor, how much work do you put into this? Just
38:12
Speaker 3: out of curiosity.
38:13
Speaker 1: I mean, me and my team, we pour over it.
38:16
Speaker 1: You have a team of minutes, do you? Is Mikey
38:20
Speaker 1: part of that team? No.
38:21
Speaker 4: No, it's an entire committee that I have.
38:24
Speaker 1: A tier T.
38:25
Speaker 5: Yes.
38:25
Speaker 4: You know, like when you watch the college football committee
38:28
Speaker 4: and it's like a bunch of 80s in a room
38:30
Speaker 4: gathering together. And for some reason, Condoleezza Rice.
38:32
Speaker 1: Right.
38:33
Speaker 4: That's exactly what I have going on in my apartment.
38:37
Speaker 3: Condoleezza Rice.
38:38
Speaker 1: Funny name. Anytime you can pull it out. Mikey, so
38:41
Speaker 1: what are you saying here with his tiers? Are you
38:43
Speaker 1: saying if he gives you the name of a tier,
38:45
Speaker 1: you can predict the teams that are in that tier?
38:48
Speaker 5: I can come pretty close.
38:49
Speaker 7: All right.
38:50
Speaker 5: I can come pretty close.
38:51
Speaker 7: All right.
38:51
Speaker 1: I might want to try this.
38:52
Speaker 3: Okay.
38:54
Speaker 1: Taylor, take it away here.
38:57
Speaker 5: Oh, that's good.
38:58
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the category today for Taylor's tears on a Tuesday. Yes.
39:03
Speaker 4: It's NFL teams. After week one, I've reassessed the NFL
39:08
Speaker 4: and I've come up with eight tears.
39:10
Speaker 1: Eight tears, eight tears. All right. So four teams each.
39:14
Speaker 4: No, no, there's no, there's no rhyme or reason for
39:16
Speaker 4: how many teams are in a team.
39:18
Speaker 1: He has a team. I mean, don't worry about it.
39:20
Speaker 3: Um, so are you starting with eight or one?
39:22
Speaker 1: How are we doing this?
39:23
Speaker 4: We're starting from the bottom.
39:24
Speaker 5: Okay. Well, what is that? Yes.
39:26
Speaker 4: The bottom tier.
39:27
Speaker 1: Yeah.
39:28
Speaker 4: The March for Arch tier.
39:30
Speaker 2: All right.
39:30
Speaker 1: Stop right there. Mikey, I could tell us what teams
39:33
Speaker 1: are in that tier. Let them guess. I want to hear.
39:35
Speaker 5: There's six rounds and dolphins.
39:37
Speaker 1: No, there's six teams in the March for Arch tier. Okay. Rams, Dolphins,
39:42
Speaker 1: or two of them?
39:42
Speaker 4: Both, correct.
39:43
Speaker 1: Okay.
39:44
Speaker 5: Titans.
39:44
Speaker 4: The Titans are in it. I'm not sold on Cam Ward.
39:47
Speaker 1: Wow. Number one pick.
39:48
Speaker 5: Okay.
39:49
Speaker 3: And you have no reason to be sold on Cam Ward.
39:51
Speaker 1: Correct.
39:51
Speaker 5: Zero.
39:52
Speaker 1: Yes.
39:53
Speaker 5: Okay.
39:54
Speaker 1: I love this.
39:55
Speaker 5: Is the Atlanta Falcons in there?
39:57
Speaker 4: The Atlanta Falcons, Mikey, are in the March for Arch tier.
40:00
Speaker 5: Wow. Yes, they are.
40:00
Speaker 4: Because I'm not sold on Tua, I'm not sold on
40:03
Speaker 4: Michael Penix, and I'm definitely not sold on Cooper Rush.
40:06
Speaker 1: I mean, Peyton and Eli would love that, even though
40:08
Speaker 1: none of them are their father. It's Arch's father. Sorry
40:11
Speaker 1: about that.
40:12
Speaker 4: So, Mikey, you've got four teams so far.
40:15
Speaker 5: Yes.
40:15
Speaker 4: I'll give you a hint on the March for Arch tier.
40:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
40:18
Speaker 5: One of the teams won this week. It's the New
40:21
Speaker 5: York Jets. No.
40:23
Speaker 1: Wow.
40:23
Speaker 5: No.
40:24
Speaker 3: We're not marching for Arch. We're not marching for Arch.
40:26
Speaker 4: I think the Jets might be, spoiler, a little bit
40:28
Speaker 4: too good.
40:29
Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Mikey hates that.
40:31
Speaker 5: The team that won this week is in there. Can't
40:35
Speaker 5: be the Raiders. They just got their guy. Oh, Arizona.
40:42
Speaker 1: Arizona.
40:42
Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals.
40:44
Speaker 5: Excuse me.
40:45
Speaker 1: They got their guy.
40:46
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett?
40:48
Speaker 4: Not even Jacoby Brissett's family thinks he's the guy.
40:50
Speaker 1: Yes. I dare you to put the Rams in this tier.
40:53
Speaker 1: I dare you.
40:54
Speaker 7: The Mark Farch?
40:54
Speaker 1: Yes.
40:57
Speaker 3: Why they lost Garrett. They're all in one.
40:59
Speaker 4: I mean, so the March for Arch tier was only
41:03
Speaker 4: going to be five teams.
41:04
Speaker 5: Yes.
41:05
Speaker 4: And then the committee reassessed and we have a surprise
41:09
Speaker 4: entry after week one.
41:10
Speaker 1: Yes. I want to guess.
41:13
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers, Steelers, Broncos, not the Steelers, not the Broncos.
41:18
Speaker 4: The surprise entry in the March for Arch tier was
41:21
Speaker 4: The Indianapolis Colts.
41:23
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
41:24
Speaker 5: They can't get them.
41:26
Speaker 4: No, they don't have a first-round pick. This is why
41:27
Speaker 4: Mikey should have been on the committee.
41:28
Speaker 1: This is why the Jets was the right pick.
41:32
Speaker 3: You would think your committee, someone on the committee would
41:34
Speaker 3: know that.
41:34
Speaker 1: I mean... Well, this committee, we said, maybe there's other
41:38
Speaker 1: ways because Peyton Manning made a career in Indianapolis.
41:42
Speaker 2: Right.
41:42
Speaker 4: Where would he want... his nephew to go because we
41:45
Speaker 4: know Eli and Peyton are going to be pulling strings
41:48
Speaker 4: like puppeteers behind the scenes.
41:49
Speaker 2: Yes.
41:50
Speaker 4: Maybe the Colts, Mikey trade, they, they mortgage their entire
41:54
Speaker 4: future to get even more picks to get back in
41:58
Speaker 4: because that sauce Gardner trade. That Sauce Gardner trade could
42:01
Speaker 4: go down as one of the worst trades in NFL history.
42:02
Speaker 1: Look at the Jets. They are competent. They have draft picks.
42:05
Speaker 1: They are 1-0. Taylor thinks they're very good, maybe better
42:09
Speaker 1: than people expected. I do, too. And they have all
42:11
Speaker 1: the draft picks. They traded Sauce Gardner, and the Colts
42:14
Speaker 1: don't have a pick. I mean.
42:16
Speaker 4: Mikey, now that you're mentioning this... If I have the
42:19
Speaker 4: Colts in the March for Arch tier, I think by
42:22
Speaker 4: extension there has to be an asterisk next to them
42:24
Speaker 4: that says the Jets.
42:27
Speaker 1: Because I don't think the Jets are in the March
42:28
Speaker 1: for Arch tier by themselves. Yes.
42:31
Speaker 4: But through these picks, they technically are in the March
42:34
Speaker 4: for Arch tier.
42:34
Speaker 5: Yes.
42:35
Speaker 1: They have operated a competent franchise. I cannot believe I'm
42:38
Speaker 1: saying it. I don't know what to do with myself.
42:40
Speaker 1: I want the season to end today.
42:44
Speaker 6: According to espn fbi the colts had a three percent
42:47
Speaker 6: chance of getting the number one pick one percent better
42:51
Speaker 6: than the new york jets at two percent about.
42:53
Speaker 4: That Wow, and that's even higher by the Taylor FPI metrics.
42:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, which is more important.
42:59
Speaker 2: Yes.
43:00
Speaker 1: So there were five teams in the March for Arch
43:02
Speaker 1: tier with an asterisk next to one of them, a 16.
43:04
Speaker 4: The 16, yes. The Colts were the 16, yeah.
43:07
Speaker 1: Yes.
43:07
Speaker 5: Okay, they were.
43:09
Speaker 4: The next tier. Could it be less relevant if they tried?
43:13
Speaker 1: Wow.
43:15
Speaker 4: There's four teams here. One of the teams is a
43:17
Speaker 4: bit harsh.
43:18
Speaker 5: Wow.
43:20
Speaker 1: Give me the title again.
43:21
Speaker 4: Could it be less relevant if they tried?
43:24
Speaker 5: All right, there's your Steelers. Steelers.
43:28
Speaker 1: I mean, they're relevant.
43:29
Speaker 4: They're not relevant.
43:29
Speaker 1: No, but they are. They're the Steelers.
43:31
Speaker 4: They're not relevant.
43:32
Speaker 3: They're relevant. Every single season.
43:35
Speaker 5: They're relevant.
43:36
Speaker 4: They're relevant in the sense like they're going to go
43:38
Speaker 4: nine and eight, and their quarterback looks like he's going
43:40
Speaker 4: to turn to dust every time he gets touched.
43:42
Speaker 1: Fair.
43:45
Speaker 6: I'm going to guess one team, and if this team
43:48
Speaker 6: is in it, I'll bet you I know a second team.
43:51
Speaker 1: Okay.
43:51
Speaker 5: Okay. The Dallas Cowboys. No.
43:57
Speaker 1: They're relevant.
43:58
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys are relevant.
43:59
Speaker 2: I agree.
44:00
Speaker 4: As long as they got that star on their helmet,
44:02
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are relevant.
44:03
Speaker 1: All right, let me try here.
44:04
Speaker 5: Let me try here.
44:06
Speaker 1: The Raiders. The Raiders.
44:08
Speaker 4: Could be less relevant if they tried. Maybe if they
44:11
Speaker 4: start Fernando Mendoza, the committee will reevaluate them, but for
44:14
Speaker 4: right now, irrelevant.
44:16
Speaker 1: I mean, they're 1-0. It'd be the Dolphins, I understand.
44:18
Speaker 1: Are the Dolphins?
44:20
Speaker 4: No, Dolphins were in the March for Arch.
44:23
Speaker 3: Sorry, I'm getting my tears confused.
44:24
Speaker 4: The other two teams.
44:25
Speaker 1: There are many teams who are in the March for
44:27
Speaker 1: Arch tier that could also be in this tier.
44:29
Speaker 4: Could it be less relevant if they tried?
44:30
Speaker 1: Yes, correct.
44:31
Speaker 3: It's the same tier.
44:34
Speaker 4: The other two teams in the couldn't be less relevant
44:36
Speaker 4: if they tried. So the reason why these two teams
44:39
Speaker 4: aren't in the March for Arch tier is because I
44:40
Speaker 4: think they have their quarterback. But overall, their team and
44:43
Speaker 4: where they are in the NFL landscape couldn't be less
44:46
Speaker 4: relevant if they tried.
44:47
Speaker 1: Carolina.
44:48
Speaker 4: It's the Saints and it's the Commanders.
44:51
Speaker 1: Wow. The Saints aren't relevant?
44:53
Speaker 2: No.
44:53
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow.
44:56
Speaker 6: The Mothershuckers are going to have to have some sort
44:59
Speaker 6: of committee meeting of their own to determine if you
45:02
Speaker 6: should be carrying the card.
45:04
Speaker 1: Yes. I was so blown away by the Saints, I
45:05
Speaker 1: didn't hear his second team. The Commanders. Oh. I mean,
45:08
Speaker 1: they're relevant. No, they're not.
45:10
Speaker 5: Yes, they are. They're not.
45:12
Speaker 4: We went into the season saying three teams in the
45:15
Speaker 4: NFC East are going to be relevant.
45:17
Speaker 2: Right.
45:18
Speaker 4: And the Giants were not originally in it.
45:19
Speaker 2: No.
45:20
Speaker 4: And now I've bumped the Giants into relevancy in the
45:22
Speaker 4: NFC East.
45:22
Speaker 1: Right.
45:23
Speaker 4: But that, by extension, means one of the teams has
45:25
Speaker 4: to drop out. And that's why Washington Commanders, we're bumping
45:28
Speaker 4: you down. You're irrelevant.
45:29
Speaker 1: But doesn't market history, Super Bowl victories, all that, doesn't
45:33
Speaker 1: that automatically make you relevant?
45:34
Speaker 4: What have you done for me lately?
45:36
Speaker 1: All right. All right. Next year. That'd be a good tier.
45:39
Speaker 1: The what have you done for me lately tier. Yes.
45:42
Speaker 4: The next tier, three teams.
45:45
Speaker 1: Wow.
45:45
Speaker 4: Enough already. Like a dismissive, like enough already.
45:50
Speaker 6: All right.
45:50
Speaker 1: So this is the third. How many tiers?
45:51
Speaker 5: That's Cowboys.
45:53
Speaker 3: Slow down.
45:54
Speaker 1: Slow down.
45:55
Speaker 5: No, absolutely not.
45:56
Speaker 1: Slow down. Cowboys and Chargers are in this. I am
45:59
Speaker 1: begging you to slow down. These are Taylor's tears on
46:04
Speaker 1: a Tuesday after week one. This is important stuff, man.
46:09
Speaker 1: This is the third of how many tiers?
46:10
Speaker 5: Eight.
46:11
Speaker 1: This tier is enough already. All right.
46:15
Speaker 4: With a dismissive hand wave.
46:17
Speaker 5: All right.
46:17
Speaker 1: So I know, Mikey, you already rattled them off, but
46:19
Speaker 1: go ahead.
46:19
Speaker 4: There's three teams.
46:20
Speaker 1: The Chargers were in there, yes? The Chargers. Bang on. Okay.
46:24
Speaker 1: What were the other ones?
46:25
Speaker 5: The Cowboys.
46:26
Speaker 4: Bang on. One more team in the enough already.
46:28
Speaker 1: Enough already tier.
46:30
Speaker 5: I don't remember if we mentioned this team yet. The Panthers?
46:33
Speaker 2: No.
46:34
Speaker 5: Did we get that one? Panthers.
46:35
Speaker 4: Panthers holding strong so far.
46:36
Speaker 1: Niners? Okay. No, not the Niners.
46:38
Speaker 5: I love the Niners.
46:39
Speaker 1: Rams?
46:40
Speaker 5: Nope.
46:41
Speaker 4: NFC South.
46:42
Speaker 1: NFC South. Oh, wow. That entire division is 0-1. Oh,
46:44
Speaker 1: it's the Bucs. It's the Bucs.
46:46
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield, you were better when you had a chip
46:48
Speaker 4: on your shoulder, buddy.
46:51
Speaker 1: How perfect is it that every team in that division
46:54
Speaker 1: is 0-1?
46:56
Speaker 4: That's exactly the way the NFC South, like.
46:59
Speaker 1: All those four teams look at each other and they say,
47:01
Speaker 1: we love everybody losing. Right. So you have all four
47:04
Speaker 1: coaches getting together and saying, hey, let's all start 0-1.
47:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, why not?
47:07
Speaker 6: 8-9 is going to be last place in that division.
47:11
Speaker 5: 9-8 is going to be first place in that division.
47:13
Speaker 1: The next tier, the fourth tier, existing. You're just existing
47:18
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. Wow.
47:20
Speaker 4: And there's only two teams in the existing.
47:22
Speaker 1: Existing.
47:23
Speaker 5: They're just kind of there.
47:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not really great. You're not really bad. You're
47:27
Speaker 1: just existing.
47:28
Speaker 4: Two teams.
47:29
Speaker 1: Ooh. Thinking about it here. Panthers.
47:34
Speaker 4: Not the Panthers.
47:34
Speaker 3: Panthers still holding strong.
47:36
Speaker 1: I mean, geez. Wow. Just existing.
47:39
Speaker 4: Two teams.
47:40
Speaker 3: And it can't be a team that you named already.
47:42
Speaker 5: Correct.
47:43
Speaker 4: I'll give you a hint. One's in the AFC South.
47:45
Speaker 4: Just existing.
47:48
Speaker 1: Jacksonville?
47:49
Speaker 4: Jacksonville. You're just existing.
47:50
Speaker 1: Only team that's 1-0 in that division. Ah, there it is.
47:55
Speaker 4: And the other team is in the NFC North. Just existing.
48:00
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a terrible hint you're giving us by
48:01
Speaker 3: giving the division.
48:02
Speaker 4: Not the Lions.
48:04
Speaker 5: Oh, the Vikings.
48:04
Speaker 4: The Vikings, yeah. Once you have Carson Wentz starting for you.
48:07
Speaker 1: No one cares.
48:08
Speaker 4: You're just existing.
48:10
Speaker 5: Unless you have Kevin O'Connell whispering.
48:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, he whispered Sam Darnold to Seattle.
48:17
Speaker 4: Such a quarterback whisperer. Gave the Seahawks a Super Bowl
48:20
Speaker 4: winning quarterback.
48:21
Speaker 1: Do it with Kyler Murray. I mean, geez.
48:23
Speaker 4: The next tier. The fifth tier. Hold on a second.
48:29
Speaker 3: Ah, the hold on a second tier.
48:31
Speaker 4: And there's three teams in the hold on a second tier.
48:34
Speaker 3: Is this like, hold on a second. This team is
48:36
Speaker 3: better than I thought.
48:37
Speaker 4: I mean, like we don't, we don't want to go
48:40
Speaker 4: as far to say they're contenders.
48:42
Speaker 2: Right.
48:43
Speaker 4: But we're holding on a second.
48:45
Speaker 1: All right. The Jets?
48:46
Speaker 5: The Jets.
48:47
Speaker 2: Wow.
48:48
Speaker 4: We're holding on a second.
48:48
Speaker 3: How many teams in this tier?
48:50
Speaker 4: Three teams.
48:50
Speaker 1: Wow. The Giants? The Jets. The Giants, yep. Both New
48:54
Speaker 1: York teams. A couple of New York teams cutting it up. Yeah.
48:57
Speaker 4: One more team in the hold on a second tier.
48:59
Speaker 1: Wow.
49:00
Speaker 4: And I'll give you guys a hint. Their offense looked
49:04
Speaker 4: all the part. Their offense looked.
49:07
Speaker 1: Like they had it.
49:08
Speaker 4: The Panthers, Mikey.
49:09
Speaker 1: The Panthers. Wow.
49:10
Speaker 4: What if we just look back at the end of
49:11
Speaker 4: the season and Ben Johnson was right with the Bears
49:14
Speaker 4: setting the scoring record and this Panthers team just ran
49:18
Speaker 4: into a buzzsaw week one.
49:19
Speaker 2: Yes.
49:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did. They ran into a buzzsaw. I like
49:23
Speaker 1: this Panthers team. Win or lose, they're entertaining.
49:28
Speaker 4: And more often than not, lose.
49:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who cares? Entertaining.
49:34
Speaker 4: The next tier. Pretenders.
49:38
Speaker 1: Wow.
49:39
Speaker 3: How many teams?
49:39
Speaker 4: Five teams in the pretender tier.
49:41
Speaker 1: How many tiers left?
49:42
Speaker 4: Three tiers.
49:43
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
49:44
Speaker 5: Okay. Pretenders.
49:46
Speaker 1: Pretenders. These are pretenders, Mikey.
49:48
Speaker 5: The Patriots.
49:49
Speaker 4: Patriots, big-time pretenders. The P in Patriots stands for pretenders.
49:53
Speaker 1: Dare I say Seattle?
49:54
Speaker 5: Not Seattle. Wow. Not Seattle.
49:56
Speaker 1: Get out of here with that. Drew Locke. I mean,
49:59
Speaker 1: hold on a second.
50:01
Speaker 5: For how long?
50:02
Speaker 3: For how long?
50:02
Speaker 1: Broncos.
50:03
Speaker 4: Broncos, big-time pretenders after Monday Night Football.
50:06
Speaker 6: Yep.
50:08
Speaker 1: Okay. How many teams?
50:10
Speaker 4: Five teams.
50:11
Speaker 1: So three more, Mikey.
50:13
Speaker 5: The Packers.
50:14
Speaker 4: Packers, big time pretenders. The P and Packers also stands
50:17
Speaker 4: for pretenders.
50:18
Speaker 1: Okay.
50:23
Speaker 6: Would Stu Gatz be mad because this quarterback is in
50:26
Speaker 6: a pretenders?
50:28
Speaker 1: No.
50:28
Speaker 5: Category.
50:29
Speaker 10: No.
50:29
Speaker 5: Okay. So it's not them. Got it.
50:31
Speaker 1: The Bengals?
50:33
Speaker 4: Yes. This is one team that. severely disappointed week one
50:38
Speaker 4: in terms of what their expectations were entering the season.
50:42
Speaker 1: Nope.
50:42
Speaker 4: Wright City, though.
50:43
Speaker 5: No, they're gone. Eagles. Nope. Rams. Oh, I'm sorry. The Rams, yeah.
50:47
Speaker 4: The Rams are in the pretender tier.
50:48
Speaker 1: Wow.
50:49
Speaker 3: You have them as pretenders.
50:50
Speaker 5: Pretenders.
50:51
Speaker 4: Big time pretenders.
50:54
Speaker 3: Again, that team. I know they lost Miles Garrett.
50:59
Speaker 1: But again, a year ago, that team was a play
51:01
Speaker 1: away from making it to a Super Bowl with no
51:03
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and no Aaron Donald. And now they're pretenders.
51:10
Speaker 4: The final team in the pretender tier, the Houston Texans.
51:14
Speaker 4: And this is mainly just because CJ Stroud, I know
51:16
Speaker 4: CJ Stroud did enough to win that game, or I
51:19
Speaker 4: guess he didn't do enough to win that game. I
51:22
Speaker 4: just don't trust C.J.
51:23
Speaker 1: Stroud.
51:23
Speaker 4: The committee doesn't trust C.J.
51:25
Speaker 5: Stroud, I should say.
51:25
Speaker 1: The committee, sure.
51:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, the committee. Gotcha.
51:29
Speaker 4: The next tier. Jury's still out.
51:32
Speaker 1: You see what he did there, Mikey? So he could
51:34
Speaker 1: just pawn it off on his committee and not take
51:36
Speaker 1: responsibility for his terrible takes.
51:38
Speaker 5: It's a heady play.
51:40
Speaker 3: It is so smart.
51:41
Speaker 1: I'm jealous.
51:42
Speaker 4: No three teams in the jury still.
51:44
Speaker 1: Out i need a panel yeah go ahead it's the
51:47
Speaker 1: philadelphia eagles right this is jury still out okay.
51:51
Speaker 4: Which is i know what people are thinking how is
51:53
Speaker 4: jury still out different from hold on a second it's
51:57
Speaker 4: a fair.
51:57
Speaker 1: Question it's exactly what i.
51:58
Speaker 5: Was just no it's good it's good.
52:00
Speaker 1: I get it you gotta you gotta know the nuance
52:02
Speaker 1: so this team has been to two super bowls they
52:04
Speaker 1: win that division every single year but the jury's still
52:07
Speaker 1: out yeah.
52:09
Speaker 4: The Lions, the jury's still out.
52:10
Speaker 1: I agree with that one.
52:11
Speaker 4: You beat the Saints.
52:12
Speaker 1: Yes, I agree with that one, yes.
52:14
Speaker 4: And you didn't even look that impressive beating the Saints.
52:17
Speaker 1: But they won. I mean, they're 1-0, and they, you know...
52:20
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a solid football team.
52:22
Speaker 3: We know that.
52:22
Speaker 4: And then the final team in jury still out, the
52:26
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals, because I do like the acquisitions they made
52:29
Speaker 4: in the offseason, and maybe they have a defense now,
52:32
Speaker 4: but you would want to see a little more proof
52:34
Speaker 4: of concept with that team.
52:35
Speaker 1: Okay.
52:37
Speaker 3: And you want to see if the quarterback stays healthy.
52:40
Speaker 4: And then, shockingly, we have six contenders.
52:43
Speaker 1: Wow, six contenders.
52:44
Speaker 4: For the eighth and final tier.
52:46
Speaker 1: So these are six teams that could win the Super
52:48
Speaker 1: Bowl after week one. Not could win the Super Bowl. Right.
52:51
Speaker 4: Will win the Super Bowl.
52:52
Speaker 1: But only one can win the Super Bowl. Only one.
52:54
Speaker 4: But it's going to come from this group of six
52:57
Speaker 4: after week one.
52:58
Speaker 1: Okay. It could come from any of those groups, though.
53:00
Speaker 1: The Rams.
53:01
Speaker 5: No, it can't.
53:02
Speaker 1: No, it can't.
53:03
Speaker 5: According to the tiers, no, it can't.
53:05
Speaker 3: All right, stop yelling at me, man.
53:06
Speaker 1: Well, technically.
53:07
Speaker 4: The Eagles, Lions, and Bengals could still because they're in
53:10
Speaker 4: the jury still out.
53:11
Speaker 5: Right, but the jury's still out.
53:12
Speaker 1: The tiers shift, Mikey. The Rams, what tier were they in?
53:17
Speaker 5: Pretenders.
53:17
Speaker 4: Pretenders, you can't win a Super Bowl.
53:19
Speaker 1: All right, but a pretender could become a contender, no?
53:26
Speaker 5: Maybe 10 weeks from now, there's a tier called I
53:30
Speaker 5: was wrong.
53:31
Speaker 1: What do you mean maybe?
53:32
Speaker 5: And then the Rams will be in there. But until then.
53:34
Speaker 1: The Patriots lost to the Raiders in week one last year.
53:39
Speaker 1: They were pretenders, and then they became contenders.
53:42
Speaker 4: Yes, but what did the Super Bowl prove? That the Patriots, ultimately, pretenders.
53:47
Speaker 1: Pretenders. Okay, right. They didn't win it.
53:49
Speaker 4: The six teams in the contender tier.
53:51
Speaker 1: Right.
53:52
Speaker 4: The Buffalo Bills.
53:53
Speaker 5: Wow.
53:53
Speaker 4: The Baltimore Ravens.
53:55
Speaker 1: Yes.
53:55
Speaker 4: The Seattle Seahawks. The San Francisco 49ers.
53:58
Speaker 7: Really?
53:58
Speaker 4: The Chicago Bears.
54:00
Speaker 1: Thank you.
54:00
Speaker 4: And after Monday Night Football, the Kansas City Chiefs.
54:03
Speaker 1: Wow.
54:05
Speaker 5: Fighting spags.
54:06
Speaker 1: So the Super Bowl champion will come from one of
54:09
Speaker 1: those six, that group of six teams right there.
54:12
Speaker 4: According to my committee, that features Condoleezza Rice.
54:16
Speaker 1: Congratulations to the contenders, according to Taylor and the committee,
54:21
Speaker 1: and our apologies to the Rams.
