Brian Kelly Out at LSU & Bengals Lose to Winless Jets · Height Differential

0:01
Give it, give it to me. Like we're finally back.
0:12
It is the height differential that's the six, six nil.
0:17
I'm the 410. Nick, we are back just
0:20
Wednesday. I mean, I feel like it's been
0:22
I'll. Take blame for it.
0:23
I feel like it's been a year since we've been back, my guy.
0:26
It's been one week. What I mean the the 10s of our
0:30
listeners are are wondering if if we're dead alive like what
0:33
what has happened in the last week?
0:36
I will say at at the football game yesterday at the Cards
0:39
game, people were asking where was the Wednesday pop?
0:43
Do you care to apologize and and and explain yourself to our?
0:46
It's a busy, it's a busy week. It's homecoming week.
0:48
We have our U of LS annual day, giving long hours, making money
0:54
for the university. So we weren't able to do a show
0:57
on Wednesday. We should have recorded on
0:58
Tuesday. I didn't think it through before
1:00
that. Didn't get home to what,
1:02
10/30/11 on Wednesday and Thursday night so we weren't
1:06
able to record. I apologize, I take the blame.
1:09
Next year at this time we will know better.
1:12
But I thought you were going to cuss me out harder than this.
1:14
This is this is pretty low. Key.
1:16
I mean, I was, I wasn't sure if I need to go on solo, if I need
1:18
to like branch off and do my own podcast and we just call it the
1:21
height instead, the differential height, just the height.
1:25
I mean, I didn't know what to do.
1:27
I didn't know what to do because I, I thought you'd given up on
1:30
this. Like it's been, it's been a hot
1:32
minute since, since you've since you've been on this thing.
1:35
But you know what? It takes a big man, even though
1:38
you're small, takes a big man to come on here and apologize.
1:42
Just being real. It's not a height thing.
1:45
It's not a height thing. You can.
1:46
You can be two feet tall and be real.
1:48
I appreciate it. I'll take the blame and we are
1:51
here and we are not going anywhere.
1:53
And follow us on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, all of
1:58
them subscribe so you know when you're getting new episodes and
2:01
when they don't appear on Thursday morning when you're on
2:04
your way to work, then hit us up on Facebook and cuss us out and
2:08
tell us, hey, where? Where's the new app?
2:12
No, they should. They should.
2:15
But we are here today. We're here.
2:18
And. It's not a good.
2:20
It's not. It is not.
2:22
It is not. It's been a long day.
2:25
We were both in Cincinnati. I don't know if we really want
2:29
to start with that because I feel like that might get the pot
2:31
off on a on a bad start and get us in a bad mood.
2:34
I feel like we should probably start with some college
2:37
football, get that covered, and then we'll get then we'll get to
2:40
the NFL so we're not just pissed off the whole time.
2:43
Yeah. We're doing the show, but I
2:46
guess. That's fair to our listeners.
2:48
We should. We should probably just mean
2:51
with with anger. Yes, the main thing today, I've
2:55
asked this for the last couple weeks, Brian Kelly's seats
2:59
getting hotter and hotter. Yeah.
3:01
And I don't know what it's called when you're gone.
3:04
Like is it it's scorching, Is it eviscerated?
3:07
I don't know what's happening, but.
3:08
I think it's toast. It is.
3:09
Reported that he is no longer the head coach at LSU.
3:12
I mean, when your seat gets that hot and you get fired, I think
3:15
you're called toast. You toast.
3:18
You, you got toasted bro. You got toasted.
3:21
So Four Seasons that LSU? Yeah, just 34 and 13.
3:25
Yeah. That's barely a 71% winning
3:28
percentage. They've lost their three of
3:32
their last four on the SEC Chants were in the stadium
3:38
yesterday. Fire Kelly and.
3:41
They did. They were leading at halftime
3:44
and then conceptual and gets that punt return touchdown and
3:46
it was just all A&M. And that was all she wrote for
3:51
Brian Kelly. I think he's got, what, $54
3:55
million still left on his contract?
3:59
I mean, the money, these buyouts are just insane these days.
4:02
I mean, when you compete in the SEC and you're expected to win
4:04
national titles, you can't get left behind.
4:06
So I mean, you're right. They were up.
4:10
See here, it was 18 to 14 1/2 time, and then they all of a
4:15
sudden give up 35 straight points to A&M, to Mike Elko and
4:19
the Aggies. And at home, you can't be, you
4:21
can't lose that game at home. Not not when it's that
4:24
important. You're coming off the loss at
4:26
Vandy, season's on the line, and all of a sudden you lose another
4:30
one at home. Can't happen.
4:33
No, and we talked about this last week, A&M is kind of they
4:37
were the number three team in the country, but we both felt
4:39
like they were under the radar and they're not.
4:41
I don't I don't think they're under the radar anymore.
4:45
You know, Marcel Reed threw for 200, ran for 100 more, made some
4:50
mistakes. But I mean, some people are now
4:53
talking about him potentially being in the Heisman race.
4:55
But I mean, I don't know, like I I'm not been I didn't think the
4:59
Brian Kelly hiring four years ago was a great hire.
5:02
I'm not big on Brian Kelly and I mean he came in with the fake
5:07
accent and it just. Started off, that's what I was
5:10
going to say. It just started off weird with
5:12
him doing those recruit videos and him doing the whatever this
5:16
nonsense is and he's spinning around with a recruit and
5:19
getting that fake accent in the pep rally.
5:21
Like me and my family. Like no bro, like come on.
5:25
Like what? It just got off on the wrong
5:27
foot from there. Like it was just fake from the
5:29
beginning. It didn't and it just didn't
5:32
seem to mesh. I mean, was he, he was OK, He
5:35
was fine. No, look.
5:36
At the talent they've had. Look at the talent they've had.
5:40
No, I know like like he was fine.
5:42
It wasn't a complete disaster, but it's not up to LSU
5:46
standards. And of course not, I mean in LSU
5:50
standards to me, I mean that year when they had Ed Orseron
5:54
and and Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and Jefferson and and
5:59
Edward Zillaire and like, like that team, like like, like that
6:03
was success to them. Like they won the national title
6:05
and they just dominate along the way.
6:07
And ever since then, it's just been average.
6:11
I mean, let's be real, like the talent on that team was just
6:13
lightning in a bottle. I mean, it was probably one of
6:16
the top three teams in college football history, but you don't.
6:18
You don't put teams like that together every year.
6:21
And if that's your I mean, obviously your expectation is a
6:23
compete for a national title, but that team was just above and
6:26
beyond anything else. Look, I mean they've had talent
6:31
the last four years. I mean, look at all the guys
6:33
they've put in the league and they just haven't won to the
6:35
level, you know that they were expected.
6:38
Nussmeyer has underperformed this year.
6:40
Their whole offense has underperformed.
6:42
Their big win this year was against the Clemson team.
6:44
Who is I mean, we've seen what Clemson has done this year and
6:48
and that game was just a slugfest.
6:51
So no, they haven't been impressive this year.
6:54
I wondered if he would make it through the season, and he's not
6:58
going to. And so now you have the LSU
7:01
opening, you have the Penn State opening, you have the Florida
7:03
opening, you have. Virginia Tech.
7:07
Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Arkansas.
7:09
Probably. UCLA and probably Wisconsin.
7:13
And and then you think about where the Domino's fall.
7:16
Like you think about where the Domino's fall.
7:18
It's like, you know, you hear Lane Kiffin's name being
7:21
mentioned from Ole Miss going to Florida.
7:23
And if that falls, then Ole Miss is open.
7:25
That's a top right now a top ten job probably you know how would.
7:29
You leave. If you were laying Kiffin, why
7:30
would you leave? You're having success at Ole
7:32
Miss. The pressure at Ole Miss is way
7:33
less. He's getting paid.
7:36
He's having success, Yeah, he's getting paid, but are you going
7:39
to get paid more? I mean, yeah, I guess you are.
7:42
And like we've talked about this over and over, like if you get
7:46
offered a job for $100 billion and 90% of it's guaranteed, just
7:49
like what Brian Kelly is going through right now, you take that
7:52
job because sometimes the best thing to do is just suck and get
7:56
your paycheck. And I want to be, I want to be a
7:59
fired Hawk. If I if I could pick my dream
8:02
job, I would want to be a fired college football coach. 1000%.
8:07
Make me a fired football, college football coach, give me
8:10
$50,000,000 to just go away. Jimbo, like Jimbo Fisher, I'm
8:14
pretty sure from A&M has the highest buyout of all time.
8:17
And what did he get paid? Like almost seventy, $80 million
8:20
just to go away. Like, but it's not just college
8:23
football, it's it's all coaches. And it just seems like college
8:27
football is like like the extreme, like it is the the pen,
8:33
like there's nobody that's getting paid as much as fired
8:36
college football coaches. But but you know who's not going
8:40
to get fired? Who that Kirk Signetti?
8:43
Your boy Sig and and let me let me say this.
8:48
Yeah. Like, we've talked about Indiana
8:50
plenty on this show, yeah, but I just absolutely love how they
8:57
just kick your teeth in. Yeah.
9:01
And that's what good teams should.
9:03
Do that's, that's exactly right. That's what good teams do.
9:06
Like if like if you're #2 in the country and you're playing a UCL
9:11
A-Team who got off to overlay Owen 4 to start the year.
9:15
They were after four games, they were viewed as the worst team in
9:18
the country potentially. And they fired.
9:20
They fired. Deshawn.
9:22
Foster, Deshawn Foster. And then also they caught
9:25
lightning in a bottle and they beat Penn State.
9:27
They beat Michigan State. But.
9:29
We don't know how good Penn State is.
9:30
We don't know how good Michigan State is.
9:32
But they they did they caught a little lightning in a bottle.
9:34
Also, they got some momentum and they go to IU.
9:37
They're feeling good about themselves.
9:38
You know what good teams do? They kick your freaking butts.
9:42
That's, well, they. Started with the pick 6, right?
9:44
Yeah, second play of the game, Pick 6, Fisher, All American
9:49
linebacker touched down. And ever since then we have Heis
9:52
Mendoza. That's the new, that's the new
9:54
term, Heis Mendoza, that's what we're going.
9:58
But you see. But you see Sig's interview pre
10:01
pregame I did and they're talking about, you know, UCLA is
10:05
coming hot. Are you a little scared to be
10:07
facing them? Which is not a great question
10:11
because why, if you would, you be scared of UCLA?
10:13
If you're #2 you should not be scared.
10:15
But Sig's response is just like, no, why would I be scared?
10:20
We can't play scared. There's no time to be.
10:22
And we're and we're just going to go boat race this team and
10:25
they and. They weren't by, they won by 50.
10:28
We're going to tell it we're and they've got multiple.
10:31
They got three wins by 50 plus points this year, 2 of them in
10:34
the Big 10. Like, I don't know.
10:37
That inside, but like that's the sign of a good team is you
10:40
dominate the teams you're supposed to dominate and you win
10:44
against other good teams like you like or the Oregon to the
10:46
world, you going to Oregon, you went, you grind it out, you win
10:50
a tough game on the road against the national championship
10:52
contender. But when you get the the
10:54
Michigan States and the UCLA and the Rutgers and the whoever
10:57
else, you dominate them and that's what they're doing.
11:00
They're just absolutely kicking ass.
11:02
Well, and you know, everybody talks about Heisman Zoza and
11:07
like, he was good, he threw for three tutties, but he only threw
11:09
for 170 yards because they didn't need him.
11:11
But their defense does not get talked about it.
11:14
No, I mean they're one of the best defensive teams scoring
11:16
wise, Like they're they're top three scoring defenses in the in
11:20
the country. And what they have Maryland,
11:22
Penn State, Wisconsin and Purdue, Who are they going to
11:25
lose to? I mean, their toughest game I
11:27
think is still at Penn State, but is that even really tough
11:30
anymore? I don't know.
11:31
Like Penn State has talent. I know Aller Aller is he's out
11:36
for the year, but I mean they still have talent there.
11:39
Like that's still going to be your toughest game because it's
11:41
on the road. But I'll double digit favorite
11:42
not losing. Double digit favorite in that
11:44
game. Yeah, I would say so, yeah.
11:47
They're double digit favorites the rest of the way.
11:51
Yeah. Ever again.
11:51
No. And it's Indiana.
11:53
It's Indiana. Who?
11:56
Who who, Who's yours? I said you do this stat
11:59
yesterday, there ain't no For the second straight year, only
12:03
two teams in the country have started.
12:06
The last two seasons ain't no neither.
12:09
One of them traditional powerhouses, the other 1BYU.
12:15
BYU is more of a traditional powerhouse.
12:17
I mean, they had Steve Yellen. They're not a powerhouse.
12:19
They're. They no not a powerhouse, but
12:21
they had like leave that alone. They are more respectable than
12:24
I. Without question, but that's
12:26
different than a powerhouse, correct?
12:28
Like if you said, who do you think ain't no the last two
12:31
years you're going to thank your Ohio states or your Michigan's
12:34
or your or your Alabama's. BYU and Indiana are not that BYU
12:39
came from was was not favored in this game.
12:43
Iowa State came in as the favorite.
12:45
They had the lead at half and then BYU just came from behind
12:50
and Bachmeier had another great game.
12:53
Dude threw for 300 yards, 2 touchdowns, ran for 50 more and
12:57
rushed for a touchdown. I just I love watching this
13:00
freshman play. I don't know.
13:03
I, I want to have a bareback Meyer segment every temp every
13:06
single time because he's he's just not a traditional QB and
13:11
it's fun to watch him play. He looks like a fullback playing
13:14
quarterback and his his number screams fullback even more.
13:18
Was he? It's like Lewis Johnson back
13:20
there at quarterback. What's his number 47?
13:23
47 but I mean BYU and Indiana the the only two teams to go 8
13:28
no the last two years. That's crazy.
13:31
I mean, it's right. I mean, as you said, there's
13:35
nobody in India schedule that's going to slow them down.
13:39
Ohio State, Indiana, let's get it on in Indianapolis, December
13:43
6th. Let's do it.
13:45
Well, and you look at India, at BYU the rest of the way, they
13:49
still got Texas Tech, they still got TCU, they still got
13:51
Cincinnati and they still got UCF.
13:54
So they are not going to be favored in all four of those
13:56
games, I wouldn't think, considering they weren't even
13:58
favored yesterday. So I would expect them probably
14:04
not to run the table, but I don't know who's going to beat
14:06
Indiana. I mean Ohio State, so and what I
14:09
could think of at this point. But and let's how bad do you
14:12
want to see that game? I want to see it tomorrow.
14:14
Like it's an indie, right? It is an indie.
14:17
I mean how? Far is that game going to be, I
14:19
mean. A 4040 minute drive from
14:21
Bloomington and it's not that far from, you know, Columbus, OH
14:25
either. And Ohio State fans, they'll
14:27
travel. I mean, they, they're used to
14:29
this. They've been the Big 10 title
14:30
game multiple, multiple years. So they're they're used to this.
14:34
So I mean it, it is going to be fun because like I said, it's
14:37
right in Indiana's backyard. It's in the heart of Indiana.
14:41
I'm I'm anxious. I'm anxious to see.
14:42
I want to see. And we're, we're getting ahead
14:44
of ourselves a little bit, but the fact that they don't play
14:47
each other in the regular season and dude, I, I think they're the
14:52
best two teams in the country. There's no doubt, there's no
14:56
doubt. I mean, Ohio State's defense
15:01
against that offense. And then I think, dude, people
15:04
just need to be talking more about Indiana's defense.
15:06
I guess like they, they should be, like I said, they're they're
15:09
and when it comes to scoring defense, they're one of the top
15:11
three I think in the in the country.
15:13
Like, they're really good on defense.
15:15
And you look at the rest of the games yesterday, South Carolina
15:18
look like they potentially might pull the upset at home against
15:21
Alabama. Tom Simpson wasn't as good as
15:24
he's been the last couple weeks, but they get 15 points in the
15:27
fourth quarter and and figure out a way to win that one and
15:30
remain unbeaten in the SEC. Oregon with the slugfest against
15:35
a bad Wisconsin team. Dante Moore got hurt in that
15:39
game. So we'll see what what's going
15:41
on with him and Georgia Tech, another undefeated team.
15:46
Hanes King throws for 300 yards and three touchdowns.
15:48
That they just put it on Syracuse, I mean.
15:51
No, like they're give me run. Georgia Tech's good, Haynes
15:55
King's good, Dwyane's like he's a great running back.
15:58
But like they played like their best one is that Clemson game
16:01
and they won on a on a last second field goal.
16:03
But other than that, like it's they haven't been tested.
16:06
I need them to be tested. I mean, they could have easily
16:09
lost that weight. Forest game, yeah.
16:11
Easily, yeah. I mean, they were down big and
16:13
then come back and win an overtime.
16:15
But we'll see. I mean their remaining schedule
16:18
is NC State, BC, Pit and then they get Georgia.
16:23
But I mean, to get to the ACC Championship they just need to
16:26
beat NC State, BC and Pitt, which is definitely doable.
16:30
It is doable. No, you're right.
16:34
And I guess the game of the day yesterday was probably Ole Miss
16:38
in Oklahoma. Ole Miss went up and look like
16:43
they might two weeks in a row kind of give up the lead late.
16:47
You know, last week they let Georgia come back and win.
16:49
Look like they might do the same to Oklahoma, but they kind of
16:52
regrouped. And I don't know, John Matier
16:55
still doesn't look 100% to me, Was missing throws.
16:58
They're late in the game, but Ole Miss holds on for an 8 point
17:00
win. Ole Miss #8 in the country, they
17:02
they're going to move up a little bit.
17:05
Maybe they're A-Team to be recommended.
17:06
Yeah, I mean, that's a, that's a great win by Ole Miss, you know,
17:08
going on the road to Oklahoma. You know, they got up early.
17:11
They were up 2022 to 10 early. Oklahoma came back, took the
17:16
lead and then, you know, counteractive of what they did
17:19
last weekend where they got out, they got shut out in the fourth
17:22
quarter and let Georgia come back and just dominate him in
17:24
the fourth quarter. Ole Miss in this fourth quarter
17:26
outscored Oklahoma 9 nothing and they got that eight point win.
17:29
So great job by Ole Miss on the road.
17:32
Big time win. You know, in their schedule the
17:34
rest of the way kind of lightens up too.
17:36
Like this was, I think they're probably their their last big
17:39
test. So I expect them to be in that
17:41
SEC title game and probably in, you know, solidify themselves to
17:45
the College Football Playoff. You know, Trinidad Chambliss
17:47
threw for 315 yards yesterday. I mean, Ole Miss right now,
17:53
they, they, they're on the driver's seat.
17:54
Like they they've got A, to me, one of the easiest pass to the
17:57
College Football Playoff. Yeah, they just South Carolina,
18:01
Citadel, Florida and Mississippi State.
18:03
That's her many four games. You know, Chambliss was so good
18:06
last week for 3/4 and he really struggled in that force, but
18:10
came back and like you said, he threw for 300 yards.
18:13
And I don't know, his story, I think is one of the better
18:15
stories in college football this year.
18:17
You know, wasn't expected to start.
18:18
Their starting quarterback got hurt in the Kentucky game.
18:20
And he's really just stepped in. And, you know, he was talking
18:23
about being a Heisman candidate potentially a couple weeks ago.
18:26
I don't know if he's still in that conversation, but he's
18:31
really kind of, he's playing as one of the best quarterbacks in
18:34
the league in college football right now.
18:36
And Lane Kiffin, I mean, you got to give him credit and he's
18:40
doing a good job there at Ole Miss.
18:41
And that's why he's going to be talked about for all these
18:42
openings. But I just don't know why you
18:44
leave. I really don't unless, but you
18:48
get the bag, you get the bag, the bag talks right.
18:50
It is all about the money. And continuing to go through the
18:54
scoreboard, Miami bounced back. They they were down early
18:57
against Stanford, but then had scored 42 straight points.
19:00
So they bounced back from the the loss to Louisville and the
19:03
other big game of the day where game day was what, Missouri at
19:07
Vanderbilt. I mean, it was felt like it was
19:09
three to three the entire game. But Vanderbilt ends up winning
19:14
17 to 10. Like they have three.
19:18
They have the most winnings over top 15 teams in the country and
19:20
it's Vanderbilt. They have three wins over top 15
19:22
team. I mean, it's that's insane.
19:25
Like you're Vanderbilt. Like, what are you doing?
19:27
Like, like what? But no, like, you know, like,
19:31
like they, they come in, they came in #10 in the country
19:34
against #15 Missouri team. Missouri had a nice season so
19:37
far, but I mean, it was a slugfest.
19:40
Like you said. It felt like it was 3/3 forever
19:42
because it was it was 3/3 at halftime going into the third
19:46
quarter. Vanny took a A103 lead at the
19:49
end of the third and both teams scored a touchdown the 4th and
19:51
Vanny ended up winning 1710. And then Missouri had that Hail
19:55
Mary that was really incomplete originally, but absolute
19:58
actually was caught at the. 2 inch line.
20:01
So I mean, we were very, very close to going to overtime, but
20:04
not the best day for Diego Pavia.
20:06
I mean, he was 10 of 19, only 129 yards, no touchdowns in a
20:10
pick and he ran for 20. Ran for Danny, ran for
20:14
touchdown. Yeah, he did run for, he ran for
20:17
time, but 20 yards on the ground, it wasn't, it wasn't his
20:20
best game, but it was just, it was a slugfest.
20:22
We made 13 total first downs. Like we talked about Texas last
20:26
week against Kentucky, they had eight, like they had 13 total
20:29
first downs. They I mean, they had 265 yards
20:32
of total offense. Their their offense was not
20:34
great by any means, but what do we talk about week after week?
20:38
Good teams figure out ways to win.
20:39
And Pavia made plays down the stretch, their defense made
20:42
plays and they were an inch away from going OT.
20:45
Like we talked about this on the drive to Cincinnati.
20:48
It kind of reminded me of the the Kevin Dyson play with the
20:51
Titans in the Super Bowl. It was more of a hell Mary than
20:54
that. And it was probably, but it was
20:56
probably a little closer than the goal line than that play.
20:59
Yeah, I mean, it, it was, it was, I mean you say it was, it
21:03
was an inch away. But sometimes, you know, you
21:06
get, you get the breaks and you get you got to win.
21:09
Like that's the bottom line is you have to win in college
21:11
football to get the playoff. You win, Vanderbilt won.
21:13
It was an ugly game, wasn't their best game, but they found
21:16
a way to win and that's that's the bottom line.
21:19
Hey, when did we talk about our boy Scott Satterfield?
21:20
I was about to say that. How about the Cincinnati
21:23
Bearcats? I mean, they're not only they
21:26
would, they're just rolling teams right now.
21:28
I mean, they're ranked 21st in the country, but I feel like
21:31
they're underrated. Don't you?
21:33
Well, they opened the season with the loss in Nebraska.
21:36
And and that was not lost. I mean, that was ugly and an
21:39
ugly game that was, yeah. I mean, I mean, they they go,
21:44
they go to Utah next week, A-Team who just just absolutely
21:48
put it on Dion in Colorado. So that'll be a tough test for
21:52
them and we'll see really how good they are.
21:54
But you got to give Satterfil credit.
21:56
No, you absolutely have to give Satterfil.
21:57
I mean, like his, he's struggled since he's been in Cincinnati
22:00
for the last. This is his, what, third year?
22:04
Like they didn't make the ball. They started out hot last year
22:06
and ended up losing their last several games.
22:08
The season didn't make a bowl game and then they open up the
22:11
season this year and like, I mean, he was on the hot seat
22:13
going into the season. And then you you open up the
22:16
season with the ugly game against Nebraska in Kansas City.
22:20
They lose 20 to 17. But since then, they've just
22:23
absolutely been on a hot streak. You know, like the lot.
22:26
They beat Baylor 4120 last week, 4917 at Oklahoma State.
22:31
They win against Central Florida by two scores, Iowa State by a
22:35
touchdown. They go to Kansas and win like
22:37
it's they're on a roll. And their schedule, I mean, if
22:40
if they can get by Utah, which Utah is ranked 24th, you know,
22:46
they're at Utah, that'll be their toughest test.
22:47
They have BYU probably their other remaining tough game at
22:50
home. I mean, you're looking at a team
22:52
in Cincinnati that could potentially they should be in
22:55
the Big 12 title game. Yeah, we'll see.
22:57
I I I don't expect them to win at Utah next week.
22:59
Don't count them out. Don't count them out.
23:02
Another team that just keeps winning ugly games, and I don't
23:06
think they're very good at all is Texas gets 24 points in the
23:10
in the fourth quarter to force overtime and they were down 17
23:13
points twice in the fourth. I think at one point after the
23:18
they scored a touchdown to cut it to 10.
23:20
And then Mississippi State went straight down the field and
23:22
extendedly back to 17. They were like a 1% chance to
23:25
win, end up getting overtime and Arch Manning gets hurt and what,
23:31
Matthew Caldwell throws A touchdown and they win their
23:35
second consecutive game in in overtime.
23:38
But at least this time they had to move the ball in overtime
23:41
instead of taking advantage of the stupid rule where they can
23:44
go backwards 4 yards and kick a field goal to win the game.
23:47
Yeah, like I, I don't know what to make it Texas, to be honest
23:50
with you. Like.
23:51
They're not very good. That's that's it.
23:52
They're not like the hype come into the season as they were
23:56
they were expected to be, you know what national title
23:58
contender and to me they're just not.
24:00
But they're six and two on the season.
24:01
They're three and one on the SEC.
24:03
They just find ways to win and they're winning on the road.
24:06
They're coming back like he's like against the Kentucky game
24:09
was absolutely 1 like this terrible college football.
24:12
And then Mississippi State, you know, like they were dead and
24:14
buried and all of a sudden here they come back against every
24:18
time you, you think you can count them out all of a sudden,
24:20
like they still find a way to win.
24:22
And we talked about good teams finding a way to win.
24:24
I don't think they're a good team, but they're finding ways
24:26
to win. Against bad teams.
24:29
Yeah, they. Are against bad that's true.
24:32
These are not games that they I mean they have way more talent
24:34
than Mississippi State. They have way more talent than
24:36
Kentucky. Arch Arch Manning actually threw
24:39
for 350 yards and three touchdowns.
24:41
He he got hurt there and overtime we'll see if if he
24:44
remains out and is able to play next week.
24:46
But I mean you're you're squeaking out overtime wins
24:51
against Kentucky and Mississippi State.
24:54
I mean, the numbers last week were just I the fact that they
24:56
won that game is that's more on just Kentucky being terrible
25:00
than Texas being good. And I don't know that.
25:06
No. So yeah, you're right.
25:09
So what did what did you want to do?
25:10
Did you want to do a 1 to 12? Let's.
25:13
Go a little. Back and forth.
25:15
Yeah, like we don't like we're coming down here to where we're
25:18
we're over midway through the season.
25:20
College football is kind of shaping up.
25:22
We we get kind of a feel of who's good, who's not good.
25:25
So let's yeah, let's do a little draft.
25:27
Like last week we did the, you know, your top ten in the NFL.
25:31
Let's let's draft our College Football Playoff.
25:34
You went first last week, so all.
25:36
Right, let's, let's see what you got.
25:37
Who's your first pick? 12 I'm going in the end.
25:40
I'm going in the end 100%. You stole my Thunder.
25:44
Like I'm going like I'm going Indiana.
25:46
I just, I know I've said it several times, but I just love
25:49
how they put it on them. I love how they give you no
25:51
chance. They beat teams that are
25:53
inferior and just put them away. And I just love what they're
25:57
doing. I I think Ohio State has the
25:59
best defense in the country. There's no doubt.
26:01
But if those two teams will play right now, I'm I'm taking
26:04
Indiana. I mean, I, I, I have no argument
26:08
against that. I like, you're absolutely right.
26:10
I think you know Indiana. Which is so insane to think
26:14
about. Think about this, your number
26:17
one overall pick in the College Football Playoff, which
26:21
basically means who's your pick to win the national championship
26:24
is what we're kind of talking about is the Indiana.
26:26
Hoosiers, it's not real life. This is where it's a.
26:30
Fantasy. This is fantasy.
26:31
We're in kind of fantasy. World, like, it's like fantasy
26:33
football, but I mean, we mentioned them.
26:36
My, my, my pick #2 I'm going to go to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
26:39
Their defense is just unfreaking, believable.
26:44
They're getting better every week.
26:45
They're getting better on offense.
26:47
I mean, there's no slowing them down.
26:49
They're winning. They're winning everywhere, so
26:52
I'm going to Ohio State #2. Alabama 3.
26:56
I know they squeaked it out yesterday, I know A&M's ranked
27:00
ahead of them, but I'm going Bama 3.
27:03
Not bad, not bad. I do like that.
27:05
I mean bam Bama, I mean before. Yesterday.
27:07
And this is what Mike Elko wants.
27:09
Like we're still disrespecting them, right?
27:11
Not yet, not yet. I mean I agree with the Bama I.
27:16
I would not put Bama 3 only because they did kind of squeak
27:19
one out yesterday. They were rolling 4th.
27:21
You can pick. Whoever you want to be 4th.
27:24
Oh, I'm, I am, I'm I'm just why I'm disagreeing with you.
27:26
I'm saying Mike Elko when the Texas A&M Aggies should have
27:30
been three. But thank you for putting in my
27:32
lap and I will take them at #4 Like I I expected.
27:35
I honestly, I honestly thought LSU was going to win that game
27:39
yesterday. You know, with LSU come up at
27:42
Vandy lost their season, their season on the line and for Texas
27:46
A&M to go into Baton Rouge at night in that atmosphere and is
27:50
put up 35 straight in the second-half to win and just kick
27:54
the crap out of LSU. I'm going Mike Elko and and A&M
27:57
at #4. In no world did I think that LSU
28:00
was going to beat A&M. No world.
28:03
I did. Why not?
28:05
They LSUI mean A&M just beat Arkansas Arkansas by three the
28:11
week before they was they with everything on the line praying
28:14
Brian Kelly coaching for his job and and LSU playing for their
28:19
basically coaching. For his job all year.
28:21
Playing for their season, I thought LSU at night in Baton
28:24
Rouge, one of the toughest places to play in college
28:27
football is Baton Rouge at night with all it was at stake.
28:31
And for them to come in and just dominate, that's fine.
28:35
That's fine. All right, what you got at 5:00?
28:37
I guess I'm going Georgia 5 George.
28:40
It gets tougher I I think. Georgia.
28:43
Yeah, it gets a little tougher after the four.
28:47
No, no, I'm going, I'm going to Oregon at six.
28:50
I mean, their only loss I know was at home to IU.
28:53
But I mean, IU obviously is the cream of the crop as you put
28:57
them #1 Oregon. I'm putting Oregon right up
29:00
there. I, I their offenses.
29:03
I know they struggled the other day, but I'm putting Oregon
29:08
right there is one of the top six teams in the country.
29:10
I'm going 6 Oregon or five Oregon.
29:13
What am I saying? I mean this is 6 Oregon.
29:14
This. This is where you get into your
29:16
Ole misses your Georgia Tech. Yeah, see now.
29:18
And now it gets yeah. New, I use your Miami's.
29:22
I mean I I would have had Miami in the top 3 for sure until the
29:26
loss last week against Louisville.
29:28
We'll put Louisville in them once you put Louisville in your
29:30
top 3 then. I mean, I still think Miami's
29:33
really good. I just don't know how if I can
29:35
trust Carson Beck. But Notre Dame, I think probably
29:38
is playing as well as anybody right now.
29:42
But if I'm going 7, I like the way Ole Miss bounced back.
29:46
I think Trinidad Chambers is playing really well.
29:49
I'm going to go Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss at 7:00.
29:52
All right, thank you for leaving me with my number eight choice
29:57
because I would put them ahead of Ole Miss.
29:59
Let's go with the Vanderbilt Commodores and Diego Pavia up to
30:03
#9 now in the AP poll that came out today.
30:07
I mean, they've got the swagger, they got the confidence, they
30:10
got the talent. Let's go, let's go, doors.
30:15
So the doors at 8 and I think I'll go, I don't know, but at
30:20
9:00 I'm going to go. The Irish, you know, first two
30:24
games this season were both close losses.
30:26
I think they're playing as well as anybody in the country right
30:28
now. They're running game is is as
30:30
good as anybody in the country. I'm going to go notary. #10 I
30:35
don't want to do it. Should I do it?
30:37
I don't want to do it. I don't think I'd do it.
30:40
You know, I think I know what you're talking about.
30:41
I don't think I'd do it. What am I talking about?
30:43
What's your guess? Georgia Tech.
30:45
I'm not sold on Georgia Tech. I'm.
30:47
They're not going to be in my 12.
30:48
Give me what are we on 10910? You're on 10 all.
30:52
Right. I won't do it yet.
30:54
Let's go the Tennessee Volunteers and they absolutely
30:58
just put it on Kentucky yesterday at Kentucky on the
31:02
road. You know, they came off a tough
31:05
loss against Alabama. They hung in for the first half
31:09
on that game until they threw that pick six at halftime when
31:11
they were trying to go up. But give me the Tennessee
31:13
Volunteers. I think they're pretty, pretty,
31:16
pretty good team. We'll.
31:17
Go. I mean, I love Joey Iyer.
31:19
I do. Yeah.
31:20
I think Tennessee, probably we're going to go Tennessee.
31:22
I mean, I think the fact that we're at 11 and we still haven't
31:26
said Miami when they were in the conversation as the best team in
31:29
the country, I think we got to have them in the top 12.
31:31
So I'll go Miami at 11. OK, who's the final one?
31:35
I don't want to do. It then don't do it.
31:37
I got to do it. I don't want to.
31:38
Do it. What are you doing here?
31:41
I mean, I don't want to do it. Then don't do it.
31:43
I got to do it. Then do it.
31:47
Cincinnati Bearcats really. Yeah.
31:51
Like they're, I don't want to do it.
31:54
I don't want to do it. But I think the Cincinnati
31:56
Bearcats are playing really, really good football and they
31:59
are just bowling teams. So you're putting Cincinnati in
32:03
above BYU of Texas Tech? Yeah, above Georgia Tech.
32:09
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I I can see all those.
32:12
I don't know if I can see BYU. Do they not play each other?
32:17
They Yeah, they do. They do they they do.
32:19
They play BYU at home. They're at home.
32:22
Like taking the last name of the season?
32:24
Yeah. Couple weeks.
32:25
So we went Indiana, Ohio State, Bama A&M, Georgia, Oregon, Ole
32:32
Miss, Vanderbilt and what we do after Vanderbilt.
32:35
I had Tennessee, you had Notre Dame.
32:37
And then we went. I had Miami and you had some
32:41
Cincinnati I. Didn't want to do it.
32:43
Wow, I. Didn't want to do it, but I had
32:46
to do it. I think Cincinnati is right now.
32:48
They're playing quality football.
32:51
I think they're they're playing some of the top.
32:53
I mean, they're top 12 teams like the football they're
32:55
playing. They're they're playing good.
32:56
I mean, there's no doubt they've won seven in a row.
32:58
Yeah, they're playing good. I don't.
32:59
I don't know if I'm putting them in the top 12 yet.
33:02
I mean, Virginia's not, I think Virginia's frauds.
33:05
Yeah, I mean, I, I agree with that.
33:08
I mean. I mean, I think the one.
33:11
The one at Louisville, I mean, all the turnovers.
33:14
No, in the other, it can't make my 12th choice.
33:17
And you know, I didn't want to be a Homer because I think ABS,
33:20
I think Louisville's probably a little bit better Cincinnati.
33:22
I'm put maybe Louisville in the conversation, Texas text in that
33:26
conversation, you know, Cincinnati, Texas Tech,
33:30
Louisville, they're all right there on that 12 spot.
33:32
So I didn't want to be the Homer, but also didn't want.
33:36
To you were basically the anti Homer.
33:38
I didn't want to give it to SAT, but SAT.
33:40
You were the anti Homer. I You got to give credit where
33:42
credit's due, and SAT's doing a great job in Cincinnati.
33:46
He absolutely is. And I don't think a ton of
33:49
people are excited that he got the job there a couple years
33:52
ago. No, I think after the first two
33:53
years they were even less excited that he was the head
33:55
coach. And with all that, you know,
33:58
everybody, I mean, I'm sure a lot of the fan base was cheering
34:01
for them to struggle again so they can get rid of him.
34:04
But yeah, I mean, they're doing it.
34:07
They're they're doing it. They're stuck with.
34:10
It is it time to get depressed a little bit?
34:14
Yeah, it's that time. It's depression.
34:18
O'clock, Nick. So we were there.
34:19
They Cincinnati Bengals saved their season last Thursday with
34:24
a win over Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers and the Icy Hot ball.
34:30
And then your 3:00 and 4:00, you got a chance to get to 500
34:35
against the Owen 7 Jets. Like one of the worst teams
34:38
probably in football history without.
34:42
I'd seen a lot, but there's been a lot of Owen Seven teams in
34:47
NFL. They're bad.
34:49
They're bad. Without Sauce Gardner, their top
34:51
corner. Without Gary Wilson, their top
34:54
wide receiver, with a quarterback they benched last
34:57
week and the only reason he had to play is because Tyrod Taylor
35:00
was hurt, Their owner came out and said basically he sucks and
35:06
they put up 500 yards. They put up 500 yards on.
35:09
I mean, you're up 24 to 10, you're up 31 to 16, and then
35:14
you're up 38 to 24 with 10 minutes to go.
35:18
Can't lose just the bottom line. You can't lose this game.
35:21
And I mean, I am not Zach Taylor Homer, I don't.
35:27
I mean, he's had success. I give him credit for that.
35:29
A lot of that has to do with Joe Burrow being the quarterback.
35:33
But this loss is absolutely inexcusable, a must win game.
35:40
You're up 14 with less than 10 minutes to go against AO and 17.
35:46
And there was one possession where you're trying to run clock
35:50
and they throw it three times. Like we talked about this in the
35:54
Louisville game last year late yesterday, like run the ball,
35:58
run the ball. And they had success running the
36:00
ball today. Yes, run like you cannot lose a
36:05
game against the O and 17 when you're about 14.
36:08
God bless. It's indigo.
36:11
I mean, is it fireable? Is it fireable?
36:14
Yeah, I don't if if he's not fired by midnight tonight, it's.
36:20
Well, I'm just going to go ahead and tell you it ain't going to.
36:22
Happen. I know it and I I hate it.
36:23
I hate it because we have the worst owner in all the sports.
36:26
Like nobody likes Mike Brown. Nobody.
36:29
The fans don't like Mike Brown. The other owners don't like Mike
36:31
Brown. Like you, you look here like
36:34
when they do rule changes and stuff, they say, oh, like this
36:36
rule passed 31 to one. Who's the one?
36:39
It's Mike Brown. Nobody likes Mike Brown.
36:41
He votes against. Nobody likes him.
36:44
You don't know that. I will, I will.
36:47
I will put my, I would put it on the line that nobody likes Mike
36:51
Brown. Nobody who likes Mike Brown, who
36:55
likes Mike Brown, who likes the Brown family.
36:58
Nobody. They're terrible.
37:00
I mean, they're his dad is like one of the most legendary, like
37:04
NFL figures in history. He's not his dad.
37:07
He's. I get that he's.
37:08
Cheap. He is cheap.
37:11
Like they, they, they, they're just, they, they're terrible.
37:13
The Brown family doesn't know what they're doing.
37:15
It's just bad. Like they're just, yeah, they're
37:18
terrible. They're terrible people.
37:20
Not they're great. You got to give me more
37:22
substance than just saying they're terrible.
37:24
People. No, they're good.
37:25
They. Might you got to give me more?
37:26
Time. They might be good people, but
37:28
they don't know ball. They don't know ball.
37:30
You really don't think that they know football?
37:32
No, his dad just. Flat out, they don't know
37:35
football like you know football better than the Browns.
37:37
I do, yes. I don't like his dad knew
37:40
football. Mike Brown doesn't know
37:42
football. Katie Blackburn doesn't know
37:44
football. Jessica Blackburn or whatever.
37:46
Katie Blackburn's daughter doesn't know football.
37:48
We're getting, we're getting in the weeds here.
37:50
They don't have football. We're getting in the weeds here
37:51
when we're talking about the Blackburns.
37:53
I mean, that's I don't think. We need to, we don't think we
37:55
need to go to the Blackburn level on this.
37:57
That's who's next in line. That's who's going to take over
38:00
the team when Mike Brown dies or quits.
38:03
Like if you if you wanted clown Duke Tobin for this team that he
38:07
put together when you didn't improve the defense at all.
38:10
We and then you're like now the general manager, Nick.
38:12
Nick, we don't have a general manager.
38:14
He is the general manager. I know it's not his title, but
38:16
he is the general. Manager, player development.
38:18
He's, well, Duke Tobin doesn't own ball either.
38:21
But like, like all time today, you're talking about Al Golden,
38:26
and Al Golden should be fired. You should.
38:28
Right now I don't. Think he's doing?
38:30
I don't think Al Golden is doing a good job.
38:32
He sucks. But you can't expect to bring
38:36
the same exact defense that you brought last year that you had
38:39
last year. That was the worst defense in
38:41
all football. Throw in 2 rookie linebackers
38:44
and expect it to be better. That's like sprinkling fairy
38:48
dust on your defense and hoping that it gets better.
38:51
It shouldn't get worse. They give up 500 yards to The
38:54
Jets. It shouldn't get worse last.
38:56
Year, you have two rookies, linebackers now that have never
38:59
played in the NFL. You bitched.
39:01
OK, so hold up. You want Jermaine Pratt, the guy
39:04
that we cut that got cut by the that got cut by the the Raiders,
39:09
who's a probably a fighter squad member of the Colts now.
39:12
You want Jermaine Pratt back because he's so good, because
39:15
he's so. Good.
39:16
No. No, no, I want you to go.
39:19
You brought. Back one of you brought back
39:20
everybody on a really bad defense, but you blame the off
39:24
you, you blame the defensive coordinator like all right,
39:26
we're going to get rid of Lou. Some blame, yes.
39:28
Yeah. All right, so we're going to get
39:29
rid of Lou. He's the blame.
39:31
So we're going to bring back the same guys like, you know what Al
39:33
Golden like, he can do stuff. He can do more with this talent
39:36
that we have. He can do more.
39:38
No, you know what he did? You know what he did?
39:40
Yeah. It was the thought process.
39:40
You know what he did? He made him worse.
39:42
He made him worse. So no, Al Golden sucks.
39:46
He doesn't he, he doesn't belong in this level.
39:49
He's got his little like he's got his tie.
39:51
He's like the Miami head coach. He's got that little tie on the
39:53
sideline like no, get out, get out, go back to college, get off
39:57
my NFL team. You're terrible.
39:59
This defense is terrible. You don't give up 500 yards and
40:03
39 points to the Owens 7 Jets get off my.
40:08
Quarterback who wouldn't have started if Tyrod Taylor was
40:11
healthy. And your #1 receivers out.
40:14
You don't. You don't let The Jets run for
40:16
200 yards. You don't let them have 500
40:18
yards of offense. Get off my field.
40:20
Al Golden is terrible. Terrible.
40:23
I would take Luanne Arumo back right now.
40:27
Right now for a first round pick.
40:29
Give me Luanne Arumo back for a first round pick and get Al
40:32
Golden off my freaking sideline. Think that's that hot of a take
40:36
to say that you would take Luke back, but you were wanting Lou
40:39
gone last year. I mean, at least Luke has some
40:42
who? Doesn't lose The Jets.
40:44
Lou doesn't lose The Jets. I mean, their defense was awful
40:49
last year. But they didn't.
40:51
How many times? Last year they give up 500 yards
40:53
because it's happened twice. This year, it's happened twice.
40:56
I mean what was the numbers I gave you?
40:58
They in the 1st 56 seasons they were 54 and four when they
41:03
scored 38 plus points, 54 and four when they scored 38 plus.
41:09
In the last two seasons they are one and three.
41:12
I mean so. Something has to change like
41:14
something and it's it's the coaching.
41:16
Get get rid of get rid of Zach Taylor today, get rid of Al
41:20
Golden today. Put Dan Pritcher pitcher,
41:25
whatever his name and put him as my head coach and I don't care.
41:28
Get some bum off the street and bring him in as our our
41:31
defensive corner. I don't care who it is, but get
41:34
Al Golden off of my sideline. But the bottom line is though,
41:39
milk the clock. Run like Semaji P Round averaged
41:41
10 yards of carry. Chase Brown averaged 6 yards of
41:44
carry. And you throw it on.
41:45
No, we're not blaming the offense.
41:46
No, we're not blaming the offense.
41:48
I know, but like you, you had you're up and you don't run it
41:52
at all to. Get or or Here's the concept.
41:55
Just stop The Jets. Just stop them.
41:57
Yeah, just stop them. Feels like it should be pretty
42:02
simple, but instead Justin Fields probably had the best
42:06
game of his NFL career. I could I I could have done what
42:08
Justin Fields did today. You could have done what Justin
42:10
Fields did today. I.
42:12
Mean I don't know. Yeah, there needs, there needs
42:17
to be changes and there needs to be changes right now, right now.
42:22
I don't disagree with you, but it's it's just not going to
42:25
happen. But you know why?
42:26
Because we have the worst owner of football.
42:30
Because of the Browns. Because of the Browns hate him,
42:34
I hate him. What?
42:38
What else we got today now, now that we've are you done venting?
42:42
Do you need more time? No, I'm ready.
42:45
I'm, I mean, football's over for me.
42:47
I mean, NFL football's over for me.
42:49
College football still great. We got the cards.
42:52
We got the Hoosiers. I'm still fine with college
42:54
football. NFL football dead.
42:56
Don't care. Yeah, so.
42:58
But but you know who's who's still rolling?
43:02
Who's the best team in the league, Nick?
43:04
Who's the best team in the league?
43:04
Were you going to say your Colts?
43:06
They. Have my Colts, but it is the
43:08
Colts. I mean, you think you as you.
43:11
Let me give you credit, because you do.
43:13
The credit, come on, where? Where's I mean?
43:17
Talk about the Hoosiers man, and how they just put it on people.
43:21
The Colts are doing the same thing.
43:23
Putting it on the bad teams. I mean, three of their last four
43:26
games they beat the Raiders 40 to 6.
43:29
I mean, the Chargers are not a bad team.
43:30
They beat them by two scores and then they beat the Titans 38 to
43:35
438 to 14. I mean, I I don't know, I didn't
43:41
see it coming. I don't think you saw this
43:42
coming even though you picked them to potentially win the AFC
43:44
S but wow. I mean a healthy John.
43:49
I mean a healthy Jonathan Taylor.
43:51
He's one of the best running backs in the league. 12 carries,
43:54
153 yards on 12 carries, 2 touchdowns.
43:58
Indiana Jones. I'm back player of the year,
44:01
basically 21 of 29272 and three studies.
44:07
So yes, I didn't see it mean this got anything.
44:09
We're going to start off 7 and one.
44:11
I thought I just said they were going to win the division.
44:12
And not only they're going to win the division, they're on
44:15
their way to being the number one seed in the AFC.
44:19
Yeah, no, I mean they are I, I don't think they end up being
44:22
the number one seed, but. Are they the best team in
44:25
football? No, and we'll do this on
44:28
Wednesday, but we will. If you have the first pick,
44:30
you're not picking the Colts. And we'll do a little trick or
44:32
treat on on Wednesday, but they're a treat.
44:35
They're a treat. There's something and I mean, I
44:41
mean, I'm impressed. I'm impressed with them.
44:42
And I mean, who saw the Dolphins just absolutely put on the
44:45
Falcons this week? I mean, we were, we were in
44:47
Cincy, so we didn't get to watch much of that game, but. 4
44:50
touchdowns for two of the day. Yeah, so I mean, but wasn't must
44:55
have been a good weather game because he struggled.
44:58
I mean, it was in the Dome, it was inside, it was indoors.
45:01
Miles Garrett gets 5 sacks and it doesn't matter.
45:05
And they still got housed. The Pats put it on the Browns 32
45:08
to 13. Can we can we talk about them
45:10
for a second? The New England Patriots like
45:14
they were the worst team in football last year.
45:16
I think they had the they had the number one pick.
45:18
If not, they had the number two pick.
45:20
They bring in Mike Vrabel and all of a sudden they look like
45:25
the Tom Brady Patriots again. Six and two, First place in the
45:29
AFC East. Come on dude, are you serious?
45:32
What you you say I'm wrong the? Tom.
45:36
Brady Patriots, they look like the Tom Brady Patriots to me.
45:40
Let's call let's call him Drake Brady over here.
45:43
Drake, Brady, they've. Won five games in a row and
45:48
they've beat the Panthers, the Bills.
45:50
I'll give them that one. The Saints, the Titans and the
45:52
Browns and you're over here. Call it Drake May Tom Brady.
45:56
I mean 18 and 24282 and 3 teddies.
46:00
I mean, they, they look like the the 2000 and 23456 and seven New
46:06
England Patriots to me. Man, keep drinking what you're
46:09
drinking, dude. Not me.
46:13
They're first place in AFC. Look, I give Rainbow credit, but
46:16
yeah, they like, you need to cool your jets a little bit on
46:18
that one. Don't say jets.
46:21
It's true. Now I'm back depressed again.
46:25
Don't say jets. Don't say jets.
46:27
Now I'm back depressed again. No, but the Patriots, I mean the
46:30
Patriots are rolling team. I mean, like you said, like good
46:33
teams beat the crap out of the bad teams, and that's what the
46:35
exactly what the New England Patriots are doing so.
46:38
Yeah, the Broncos. I mean, maybe they're legit
46:42
dude. They're not.
46:44
They're not. That was a good one today.
46:47
But the Broncos are frauds. That's trick.
46:51
We'll talk about trick or treat, but that's trick.
46:53
Yeah, and I mean, the Steelers and the Packers are playing
46:55
right now, and the Steelers are wearing the ugliest uniforms in
46:59
the history of the NFL. It does look like somebody threw
47:01
up on me. What else we got?
47:02
I think that's about it for the NFL.
47:04
I'm still depressed about the Bengals.
47:05
They suck. They do.
47:07
Season's over, but we have the World Series going on.
47:12
We do and what? Yamamoto through a second
47:17
complete game as the Dodgers? Even the series.
47:19
Be fun to watch that one. Go back to LA tomorrow night.
47:23
I still don't see the Blue Jays beating the Dodgers, but.
47:26
I mean don't put it past them like they the Blue Jays offense
47:28
they can get hot. I mean they put up 9 in inning
47:31
on on Game 1 so I I'm guessing Otani starting game 3.
47:36
I think so, yeah. Will he do a repeat performance
47:39
of where he goes 3 homers and six shutout innings in 10K's?
47:43
Well, that's what I said. Like his next start?
47:45
What, he's going to go 7 and strike out 13 and hit fourteen
47:47
home runs? I don't.
47:48
I wouldn't put it past them. Also, can we let's go I'm this
47:52
is still on my mind about how bad of an ownership the Browns
47:55
are in the Blackburns and the entire ownership of the
47:58
Cincinnati Bengals. You're bringing it back.
48:01
Did you see Corey Dillon's comments this week?
48:04
I did I. Did we?
48:06
We love Cordell. We used to love Cory Dillon.
48:08
We might not love him anymore, but we still love Cory Dillon a
48:11
little bit. No, I I still love Cory Dillon.
48:13
I mean, it's part of my shot. Probably.
48:15
Is he? Is he the greatest running back
48:18
in Cincinnati Bengals history? I think so, yeah.
48:20
I mean, he's the only one on the wall.
48:22
Yeah. So today, Cincinnati Bengals
48:26
Ring of Honor game, we induct, we induct.
48:30
We had Dave Laplum. Lamar Parish.
48:33
Mr. Bengal, Dave Lapill, Lamar Parish and what happened during
48:40
during these this weekends, like they they invite all the other
48:43
Ring of Honor inductees, the Boomer Siasses, the Chad Ocho
48:46
Cincos, the Corey Dillon's of the world.
48:48
They invite them back to participate and be on the field.
48:51
And how this whole weekend for these former honorees, and I
48:55
think it was last year, Boomer Siasson came out and talked
48:59
about how cheap the Bengals were, about how, oh, like they
49:03
give us a room rate at the Radisson Inn or whatever
49:06
nonsense that it might as well be a Red Roof Inn.
49:08
I don't know what the hell they put them in, but they don't pay
49:11
for the accommodations of these former legends that they invite
49:15
back for this weekend. They don't pay for the
49:17
accommodations. They give you a special room
49:19
rate at the Cincinnati Radisson. Maybe they have a continental
49:23
breakfast, maybe an indoor pool, I don't know.
49:26
Maybe a spa, who knows? But anyways, so it it, it was a
49:30
topic of discussion last year about how cheap the Bengals
49:32
were, and then all of a sudden, Corey Dillon.
49:34
Wasn't it? Wasn't last year?
49:35
That was this year. That was his invite to this
49:37
year's Ring of Honor. I thought that was last year
49:39
when that? Was the invite for this.
49:41
Year, that was this year. OK, Corey Dillon comes out this
49:45
past week. He goes to get on his flight at
49:48
LAX. The Bengals made the flight
49:50
reservation and it's I don't know if it's true.
49:53
Apparently it's been maybe was fabricated, don't know, wouldn't
49:56
put it past them. I'm almost on the side of Cory
49:58
Dylan because I know the Bengals are cheap.
50:01
Goes to LAX to go on his flight. Bengals made the right the
50:04
accommodations and oh, Mr. Dylan, that'll be $500, Sir.
50:07
Look. You got to pay for it.
50:10
He's like, what? So he goes on Twitter and he
50:13
just blasts the Bengals for making the reservations and all
50:16
that and not paying for it. Told him to take his name off
50:20
the stadium. What do you think about that?
50:21
I mean, I think there's probably a little bit of truth to what
50:24
happened. I think Corey Dillon is, to put
50:29
it politely, is can be fairly emotional with thanks.
50:33
We've seen that throughout his career.
50:34
I mean, he was mad that he wasn't in the original Ring of
50:37
Honor, like the first year. So.
50:38
Yeah. Right.
50:39
Yeah. But I mean, you, you build this
50:44
reputation. So like, if you've always have
50:48
taken care of your players, have we?
50:51
No, I said if you have always taken care of your players.
50:55
Yes, yes. Regardless of what happened
50:58
here, like say they inadvertently didn't pay for
51:00
this ticket. How do you inadvertently not?
51:02
No, but I'm just saying like if you had pay, if you had taken
51:05
care of your players in the. Past whoops, Mike Brown lost his
51:07
wallet. Sorry.
51:08
Right. And this one slips through the
51:10
cracks. You're not going to send that.
51:11
You're not going to send that tweet.
51:13
Flips through the. But I'm just saying like it's
51:15
because it's repeated behavior is why he reacted the way he
51:20
did, regardless of he's right or he's wrong.
51:24
It's just this has been the way that the Bengals take care of
51:29
their players throughout and they cut corners at every chance
51:35
they get. Every day just leave a little
51:36
bit of money. Every chance.
51:39
And look, I give them credit for paying Borough, for paying
51:42
Chase, for paying Higgins, for paying Hendrickson like they
51:45
did. They open the wallet for those
51:47
guys. But these are little things like
51:51
these little things. They add up.
51:54
And if you're not going to. Take care of your legends that
51:58
are on the wall. Who the hell are you going to
52:01
take care of? No, it's embarrassing.
52:03
It's absolutely embarrassing. And it, it, it does.
52:05
It's not just the legends, it's the current players too.
52:08
Like every year the NFL at the end of the season does the
52:12
survey of like all the NFL players and, and they grade
52:16
teams on this, this and this and this.
52:18
The Bengals are like F in taking care of players, families, F in
52:23
like locker room accommodations, F in, you know, like whatever,
52:28
Like they, they fail every test. Players have the most negative
52:32
perception of their time in Cincinnati.
52:35
And then we're the only team up until what, from four years ago,
52:39
we didn't even have an indoor practice facility and we still
52:42
don't. We have a hot air balloon.
52:44
We're playing underneath the hot air balloon in the winter time
52:47
instead of going to the, you know, so you, you see the
52:51
university. I mean get on a bus and go to
52:53
UC. Yeah, like we have, we have a
52:55
hot air balloon that we put our players under because we're too
52:57
cheap to build an indoor practice facility.
53:00
We're too cheap to take care of our player, current players,
53:02
families. We're too cheap so, you know,
53:05
make our players feel comfortable in the locker room.
53:07
We're too cheap to pay a $500 flight for our legends that
53:10
built your franchise. The the reason that fans keep
53:14
coming back to your games that laid the foundation.
53:18
We can't a $500 flight or whatever it was for Corey Dillon
53:21
to fly out from LAX. Like come on, what are we doing?
53:26
I mean. It's never going to get better
53:28
with the Browns and ownership. It will never get better.
53:32
They cut corners every chance they get.
53:35
I mean, you're not wrong. I can't really add anything to
53:37
that. What other team walks across the
53:41
street, which with construction going to practice?
53:46
I hate it. I hate it.
53:47
No, you're right. I don't know, Like I obviously
53:51
we're emotional. This this game sucked today.
53:54
We we talked about on the way to the game, how you know, this
53:57
isn't a Bengals podcast. This is we talk about everything
54:00
and if they beat, we've talked about the Bengals because it's
54:02
been relevant. Stuff like the game against the
54:05
Steelers was relevant because you got Flacco and Rogers.
54:07
The trade contract stuff was relevant.
54:09
Joe getting hurt was relevant. Jake Browning sucking was
54:12
relevant if they just go and take care of Business Today.
54:16
We're going to talk. About the Bengals, for one
54:18
minute, yeah, for one minute we'll just say hey, they took
54:21
care of business. They're back to 500.
54:23
Let's beat the Bears next week, let's be 5 and 4 going to the BI
54:27
and let's row you're five and four after losing four in a row,
54:30
let's go. But instead they do that they.
54:34
Lose the worst team in basically NFL history.
54:37
They quit saying NFL history. Could be.
54:40
I mean, they're not good, but they got a long way to go to be
54:42
the best, the worst team in NFL history.
54:44
And they just beat A-Team, who has some of the best weapons on
54:49
offenses, anybody in the league and scores 38 points and can't
54:53
win. I don't.
54:55
I I hate Cincinnati sports Reds, Bengals, I went out but.
55:01
You're not going through. I need a new hobby.
55:02
I'm going to take up crocheting or something when?
55:04
We're going golfing tomorrow. Yeah, I got a bowling league
55:09
starting on Tuesday. I'm for real.
55:11
Yeah, a little. Bowling action, huh?
55:13
Yeah. Why not?
55:15
I'm getting out of this. I I I hate being fans of teams
55:17
that suck. Hang a lot like I love playing.
55:19
I'm I'll bowl, but I, I don't love it.
55:22
I love bowling. I'm Where's this ball?
55:24
Taking crochet? I'm gonna, I'm gonna knit a
55:25
blanket or something. On Sundays, instead of going to
55:28
Bengals games, I'm gonna sit on my couch.
55:30
I'm gonna start crocheting a blanket.
55:32
Where's this? Where's this bowling like?
55:33
Are we the old the, the 10 pin, the 10 pin lanes out there on
55:37
Saint Matthews? It's, you know, it's Co Ed
55:40
bowling league. Me and my wife Erica and Bone
55:43
and Brooke and Juice and Garrett, AK Carl.
55:48
That's about it. Eight of us.
55:51
We're all in deep. We're all in deep so.
55:54
I mean, it's better. Over that, better than.
55:57
Better than watching the Bengals.
55:59
So that's my new hobby. Hey, I guess we do the the Evans
56:03
Halloween party returned on on Friday and I think it was a hit.
56:08
It was a great hit. I.
56:10
Think we may have found something?
56:12
Thank you to Bruce and Shirley. Shirley might have might have
56:16
got we might have overextended our welcome a little bit.
56:18
I think Shirley was ready to go to bed.
56:20
Bruce Bruce was was DJ ING as he usually does.
56:24
Great time. Great job by Bruce throwing the
56:26
karaoke on sing a little Johnny Cash.
56:29
It was great. Loved it, loved it.
56:31
Yeah, he he definitely didn't want to end, but it was a good
56:34
time. Some karaoke, some some paper
56:36
football. You owe me 10 bucks, paper
56:38
football. You owe me 10 bucks.
56:41
We'll see. Paper football, I think that's
56:45
allowed. I think that's allowed under
56:46
NCAA rules. Paper football game.
56:48
I'm not sure. If it is, you might want to.
56:49
You might want to go back and erase that one.
56:51
It is not an NCAA sport. Race that's.
56:54
Not an NCAA sanctioned sport. So we are good paper football.
56:58
You owe me 10 bucks. $1.00 for $10 exchange isn't brilliant
57:03
cash. Bring some cash next time.
57:06
Well, I didn't know that paper football was going to break out,
57:08
so I wasn't prepared. But you know, I took the blame
57:11
for missing the show on Wednesday.
57:12
I guess I'll take the blame for not bringing cash for the the
57:15
paper football games at the the Evans Halloween party.
57:18
I'm not taking the blame for whatever I watched in Cincinnati
57:22
today. You know who should take the
57:23
blame? Zach Taylor.
57:25
Tony Brown, Uncle Steve. I will say Zach Taylor, but.
57:29
Uncle Steve, first game he's missed in 20 years wasn't there.
57:32
Tony Brown had the opportunity to drive up, didn't do it.
57:37
It's their fault. It is because the vibes were
57:39
high. Were the like?
57:40
Were the vibes high today? Vibes are good.
57:43
I was never, I was worried about it.
57:44
I didn't know what it was going to be like in the parking lot.
57:47
You know The Jets on A at a 1:00 game.
57:50
But vibes were high. The game started off well, just
57:54
never got enough separation, which kind of made you uneasy.
57:56
And The Jets took advantage of a terrible Bengals defense there
57:59
at the end. And we should give a shout out
58:01
to our tailgate partners. What's the name?
58:04
