Latest / Stugotz and Company / Set 2: Top 5 After (Mostly) 1 Game
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Woo! Stu Gatz. Woo! I got to be honest with you, Bruce,
- 0:03Speaker 1: there's a good chance I'd be high anyway. Woo! And
- 0:05Speaker 1: I'm wondering how the football weekend was. Were you able
- 0:07Speaker 1: to watch it? Wow, what happened? Oh, I'm tired of him.
- 0:12Speaker 1: I'm serious. How about that? In company. We are mother shuckers, baby. Woo!
- 0:17Speaker 2: Bruce, does Faison Brandon's name sound like it's on backwards?
- 0:20Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It's time to get your.
- 0:23Speaker 2: It's time to get your financial.
- 0:25Speaker 1: To.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Get the all boat... You.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Got nothing right there.
- 0:29Speaker 2: This is not going well.
- 0:31Speaker 1: This is Stu Gotts and Company. Stu, back to you.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Stu Gotts and Company is brought to you by FanDuel
- 0:38Speaker 3: and the FanDuel Sportsbook. Guys, I was going to do
- 0:40Speaker 3: my power rankings through one game in the NBA, but
- 0:44Speaker 3: I realized... Not every team has played yet. And so
- 0:47Speaker 3: I'm torn here. I don't know what to do. I
- 0:49Speaker 3: watched the entire slate last night. There were two games
- 0:51Speaker 3: on Tuesday, three games on Tuesday. We had opening day.
- 0:54Speaker 3: But there are two more games tonight. And, yes, I
- 0:57Speaker 3: am saying I had a top five teams in the
- 0:59Speaker 3: NBA based off of one game.
- 1:02Speaker 2: So of the teams that played, the only team that
- 1:05Speaker 2: I really care about finding out where you have them
- 1:07Speaker 2: in their rankings is the Miami Heat because the Miami Heat,
- 1:10Speaker 2: They put up a stinker in their home opener in Giannis'
- 1:14Speaker 2: debut for the franchise.
- 1:15Speaker 3: So let me just say this. They were awful. I mean,
- 1:17Speaker 3: just terrible. And the T-wolves were good. I only went
- 1:21Speaker 3: up to five. I don't have them all ranked. I
- 1:23Speaker 3: could just tell you the Heat are not in my
- 1:25Speaker 3: top five.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Not today.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Not after one game. Maybe after two games. But after
- 1:30Speaker 3: one game, the Heat are not in my top five.
- 1:33Speaker 2: My favorite thing about that Heat game is the Heat
- 1:35Speaker 2: fans complaining about the Lomelo Ball travel, where it was
- 1:39Speaker 2: a very clear travel.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Like, he took.
- 1:41Speaker 2: what felt like eight steps levitating to get back to
- 1:44Speaker 2: the three-point line. Okay, let's take away those three points.
- 1:47Speaker 2: They lose by 22 instead of 25.
- 1:52Speaker 1: It was a terrible debut. Go ahead. I didn't watch
- 1:56Speaker 1: any of it, but I'm telling you now, blow it up.
- 1:59Speaker 1: This team's not ready. It's not there. Blow this team up. Now,
- 2:03Speaker 1: I will say this, Taylor.
- 2:04Speaker 3: The team that he played last night, the T-Wolves, With
- 2:07Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards hitting threes all over the place, Lomelo Ball
- 2:11Speaker 3: doing the same exact thing, they are in my top five.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Oh, they are clearly a title contending team in the West,
- 2:19Speaker 2: I think.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Through one game.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Through one game.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But my larger point is more just I'm a heat hater.
- 2:25Speaker 2: I go to bed every night wishing the worst things
- 2:28Speaker 2: to happen to this heat team on the basketball court.
- 2:31Speaker 2: So when I got the image of Giannis sitting on
- 2:34Speaker 2: the bench and you could see the regret in his
- 2:37Speaker 2: face in the fourth quarter where I think Giannis is
- 2:40Speaker 2: coming to the realization that this Heat team is just
- 2:43Speaker 2: Milwaukee with beaches.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Yep, and he's not good enough. He's too old.
- 2:46Speaker 3: He's not the player he used to be. He's not
- 2:48Speaker 3: good enough to carry a team anymore. He's just not.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And the Heat shoot 8 of 33 from 3, Stu, 24.2%.
- 2:56Speaker 2: It's almost like all the people, all the experts in
- 2:59Speaker 2: the NBA that said the Heat don't have enough shooting
- 3:01Speaker 2: around Giannis, they could have potentially been right when you
- 3:04Speaker 2: put Tim Hardaway Jr.
- 3:08Speaker 1: What's the matter, Mikey? How could people be right looking
- 3:14Speaker 1: at the facts? What do you mean? Through one game,
- 3:16Speaker 1: they're right. But that's what I mean. How dare they?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was told by the Will Mansos and
- 3:24Speaker 2: the Jeremy Tachés and the Solanas and the Brady Hawks,
- 3:29Speaker 2: this Heat team, this Heat team was going to be great.
- 3:32Speaker 2: This Heat team was going to be a title contender
- 3:34Speaker 2: through one game. Get ready for that playing, baby, because
- 3:37Speaker 2: that's where you're going to be just like every year.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I could say with confidence the Heat are in my
- 3:41Speaker 1: bottom five through one game.
- 3:42Speaker 2: The Knicks might be there, too.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Right.
- 3:44Speaker 3: But here's an example. You're not going to like this.
- 3:46Speaker 3: The Sixers, they're number one through one game, but they
- 3:51Speaker 3: play tonight. They play the Cavs. The Cavs haven't played yet.
- 3:55Speaker 3: And I need to let that play out because tomorrow
- 3:58Speaker 3: the Cavs might be the best team in the league
- 4:00Speaker 3: through one game. I'm going to have to figure this
- 4:01Speaker 3: out because that means the Sixers will have played two games.
- 4:06Speaker 4: I'm just saying we're talking a lot about a top five,
- 4:08Speaker 4: and I haven't heard the top five.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Can we just get the top five? Well, I can't
- 4:12Speaker 1: do the top five. It's unfair to the teams who
- 4:13Speaker 1: haven't played a game yet. Yeah, I haven't seen everything.
- 4:15Speaker 1: That's their problem. Schedule better. I'm thinking about the Wizards
- 4:19Speaker 1: in my top five. Oh, my God.
- 4:20Speaker 2: They might have something with Anthony Davis.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Well, again, like.
- 4:23Speaker 2: This is like the Joel Embiid discussion that we had yesterday.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Yes.
- 4:26Speaker 2: If there's ever a time you don't want to play
- 4:28Speaker 2: Anthony Davis, it's game one when he's as healthy as
- 4:31Speaker 2: he's going to be all year. Like you want to
- 4:33Speaker 2: catch the Wizards. in February when Anthony Davis is on, like,
- 4:37Speaker 2: his third injury of the year. But, Stu, tomorrow, Knicks-Celtics,
- 4:41Speaker 2: one of those two teams starting 0-2.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Bottom five. And it better not be the Knicks.
- 4:47Speaker 1: It better not be. I forgot. I lost my train
- 4:51Speaker 1: of thought.
- 4:52Speaker 3: You said something right before there I wanted to put
- 4:54Speaker 3: on the poll, but I forgot what it was because
- 4:56Speaker 3: I got so excited about the top five.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I do have a top five. Is that when you
- 5:01Speaker 1: want to play them? Oh, yes. That was it. Thank you.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Is the first game the wrong game to play against
- 5:07Speaker 1: Anthony Davis?
- 5:08Speaker 2: And Joel Embiid.
- 5:09Speaker 1: And Joel.
- 5:11Speaker 2: And or.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Because they're guaranteed to be healthy. You want to schedule
- 5:16Speaker 3: those games right around game seven, game eight. Somewhere in
- 5:19Speaker 3: that range, right?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Is that fair? Fair. You guys really want this top
- 5:23Speaker 1: five through one game? I'm interested in it. I mean,
- 5:28Speaker 1: all right, but there's still.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Hornets might be in it.
- 5:31Speaker 1: There's some TBDs.
- 5:32Speaker 3: The Hornets aren't in it. I know they won last night,
- 5:34Speaker 3: but they're not in it. You want them in order here?
- 5:37Speaker 3: I feel bad doing this to the Cavs. I mean,
- 5:39Speaker 3: they haven't had a chance to show me anything.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Listen, if it were easy, everybody could do it. We
- 5:46Speaker 1: look to you because you're the expert. Okay.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Top fives after one game.
- 5:51Speaker 1: After one game. All right.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Here is my top five after one game. Do we
- 5:56Speaker 3: have any sound for this?
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah. We do. Okay. Number five. The Oklahoma City Thunder. Wow.
- 6:05Speaker 2: They took the Spurs behind the woodshed.
- 6:06Speaker 1: They really did. Yeah, they did.
- 6:08Speaker 3: They probably should be higher, but it's only one game.
- 6:11Speaker 3: The Spurs are not my top five, by the way.
- 6:14Speaker 3: But the Oklahoma City Thunder, through one game, is my
- 6:17Speaker 3: fifth best team in the NBA. Number four.
- 6:21Speaker 1: You ready, Taylor?
- 6:22Speaker 4: Yep.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Number four. Toronto Raptors. Big win. They did it without
- 6:29Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. Imagine. Big win. Game one.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Open the season with a victory. Imagine what that team's
- 6:34Speaker 3: going to look like once they get Kawhi back.
- 6:37Speaker 2: So I saw a stat.
- 6:39Speaker 1: For both games?
- 6:41Speaker 2: Yeah, load management, Kawhi. I saw a stat, too, from
- 6:46Speaker 2: that Raptors-Bulls game where the Raptors beat the Bulls by 43. Yes.
- 6:50Speaker 2: The worst plus minus in a debut in NBA history.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Caleb Wilson finishes minus 45.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Yes. So bad. Number three.
- 7:03Speaker 3: The third best team in the NBA through a single
- 7:06Speaker 3: game played in the NBA, the Houston Rockets.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, good team. That's a nice little squad right there.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Van Vliet still playing there, hanging around?
- 7:18Speaker 2: Always is.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Only two spots left. I know. A lot of contenders.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Very exciting, really. Feel free to form your own top five.
- 7:26Speaker 2: So Van Vliet was the only starter yesterday that did
- 7:29Speaker 2: not score in double digits.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I know, but imagine when he gets going. And gets 10. Yes.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Number two, the Minnesota Timberwolves. That team is scary good. Taylor,
- 7:42Speaker 1: you know that team is scary good, right?
- 7:44Speaker 2: They're scary good, and I think the Heat might be
- 7:46Speaker 2: scary bad.
- 7:49Speaker 1: And number one, the Philadelphia 76ers. Wow. Left off the Wizards. Yes,
- 7:57Speaker 1: just through one game. I mean, there's time here.
- 7:59Speaker 2: On my list, I had the Pacers at number one,
- 8:01Speaker 2: and I believe I had the Hawks at number two.
- 8:03Speaker 1: The Hawks are a nice little squad. They really are.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And Halliburton's back in Indiana. That game was close, though, right?
- 8:10Speaker 2: Yeah, they won 123-120 against the Pelicans in New Orleans.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Right.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Nah, you got to beat them. I mean, you really— it' s
- 8:16Speaker 3: the Pels. Was Zion playing?
- 8:17Speaker 2: Yeah, 22.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Really?
- 8:19Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 1: That's the, again, Joel. Put that on the bowl. Davis. Zion.
- 8:25Speaker 2: We are compiling a first team guys you don't want
- 8:29Speaker 2: to play first week of the season because Zion Williamson
- 8:31Speaker 2: is also in this team.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Yep.
- 8:34Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton is also in this team.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Now you want to do it across sports.
- 8:38Speaker 2: I know we're doing it across sports, but John Carlos
- 8:41Speaker 2: Stanton has to be in the first team. Guys, you
- 8:43Speaker 2: don't want to play first week of a season team.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Wow. I'm trying to think of the football player.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Maybe Jaden Daniels.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Christian Watson. Jaden Daniels. Yeah, Jaden. Jaden Daniels is a
- 8:54Speaker 1: good one.
- 8:55Speaker 2: The 49ers.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Although at this point, you prefer Jaden being out there,
- 8:59Speaker 3: considering he doesn't know down in distance and time.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I think you could just lump the entire San Francisco 49ers.
- 9:06Speaker 2: The healthiest that team's going to be. They play in
- 9:09Speaker 2: San Francisco. This team we're creating, they play in San Francisco.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Next to that substation, yeah.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Yes. Put it on the poll.
- 9:15Speaker 3: The unhealthier, if I'm saying this correctly, the Niners get,
- 9:19Speaker 3: the better they get.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Yes or no?
- 9:22Speaker 2: It's like Shanahan gets a chance to flex his coaching more.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Next man up, Taylor.
- 9:27Speaker 3: He really does. Put this on the poll. Does Kyle
- 9:31Speaker 3: Shanahan love when his players get injured?
- 9:36Speaker 1: Wow. That's such a bad question.
- 9:39Speaker 3: I know, but just leave it like that. There's context
- 9:42Speaker 3: to it. We're saying he loves it so he can
- 9:44Speaker 3: flex his coaching muscles because.
- 9:46Speaker 1: He's a great coach. He's probably the best coach in
- 9:49Speaker 1: the NFL, right? You put that on the poll.
- 9:52Speaker 4: Kyle Shanahan is never coming on the show, whether we
- 9:54Speaker 4: have Chris Sims with him or not.
- 9:56Speaker 3: I don't think Kyle Shanahan. I asked him to come
- 9:58Speaker 3: on with Chris Sims and he said no. put it
- 10:01Speaker 3: on the poll then uh put do you want to
- 10:05Speaker 3: put a caveat there so he could flex his coaching
- 10:08Speaker 3: muscles nope okay just leave it i'm.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Telling you right now we're not getting him okay I
- 10:15Speaker 1: don't think. Then leave it. Okay. This secures it, though.
- 10:20Speaker 1: This is the nail in the coffin, one might say. Yeah.
- 10:35Speaker 3: We'll have Taylor's labels for the NFL games coming up here.
- 10:39Speaker 3: In just a second, are you guys excited for tonight's game?
- 10:42Speaker 3: Because we have a doozy. I mean, I don't want
- 10:44Speaker 3: to get in the way of Taylor's labels here, but
- 10:47Speaker 3: we do have Bears and Pats on a Thursday night.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I'm excited for it.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I said it with Golik yesterday. I think this game
- 10:52Speaker 2: solidifies Hugo's number one in a 2024 NFL redraft between
- 10:56Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and Drake May.
- 10:57Speaker 1: What am I doing?
- 10:58Speaker 3: I'm getting in the way of the labels. Do you
- 11:00Speaker 3: have music for this for Taylor's labels? He labels games
- 11:03Speaker 3: every single week.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Me and Mikey have to guess which game it is. Taylor,
- 11:08Speaker 1: take it away.
- 11:09Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Hold on. I got to put my glasses on. Get
- 11:11Speaker 1: my pinky cap on. Yep. Yes. By the way, I
- 11:13Speaker 1: didn't get to Yaxel Lindenborg. Sounds like a cheese.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Who got tired of Luka Doncic in world record base.
- 11:24Speaker 3: It took him all of a quarter. Said he didn't
- 11:26Speaker 3: watch him a lot. Didn't know he was a big complainer.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Wasn't watching the NBA when he was in college. Played
- 11:32Speaker 3: one half against Luka and wanted to fight him.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Luka will do that to you. He did it to LeBron. Anyway,
- 11:38Speaker 1: go ahead. Taylor's Labels.
- 11:41Speaker 2: The first game is a driver's seat game.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Driver's. Okay. All right, Mikey. Hold on, Mikey.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Don't rush here. Okay? Hold on. Right. Driver's seat game.
- 11:55Speaker 1: It's got to be two teams. I see a driver's
- 12:02Speaker 1: seat game. Hold on. I think I see two. It
- 12:05Speaker 1: depends on what he means. Well, driver's seat. If they
- 12:09Speaker 1: win this game, they're in the driver's seat. I see
- 12:10Speaker 1: three games. I see three possible. So I see the
- 12:14Speaker 1: Ravens-Bengals possibly? No? Maybe not.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Do you want me to tell you if you get
- 12:18Speaker 2: it right?
- 12:20Speaker 1: No, I'm just talking it out with Mikey here. Okay.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Driver's seat.
- 12:23Speaker 2: You guys talk it out, and then you guys present
- 12:25Speaker 2: one game back to me.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Yes. All right, Mikey, what are the three? I definitely
- 12:29Speaker 1: see that one. What are the other two potential games
- 12:31Speaker 1: you see?
- 12:32Speaker 4: Okay, I see Eagles-Cowboys because that one's in the driver's
- 12:36Speaker 4: seat for that game. garbage uh division yep i see
- 12:41Speaker 4: detroit green bay yes and then a sneaky one i
- 12:47Speaker 4: see the jets in miami driver's seat for the number
- 12:49Speaker 4: one pick.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Oh wow.
- 12:52Speaker 3: The jets would be two and five dolphins would be
- 12:56Speaker 3: one in five one.
- 12:57Speaker 2: In five i'll give you a hint you guys have
- 12:58Speaker 2: said the.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Game yeah i think it's yours i think the ravens
- 13:03Speaker 1: and the bengals All right, that's our guess.
- 13:06Speaker 4: No, because the Browns are still there.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Browns are still there. No.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't think Taylor's taking the Browns seriously. Therefore,
- 13:14Speaker 3: I think he feels, or the Steelers for that matter,
- 13:17Speaker 3: he feels like whoever wins Ravens-Bengals is in the driver's seat.
- 13:22Speaker 1: All right. Final answer? Yes.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Go ahead.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Final answer.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Correct, Stugatz.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yes. Yes. Yes.
- 13:29Speaker 2: I think there's too many good teams in the NFC
- 13:31Speaker 2: North for Packers-Lions to be a driver's seat game.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Right. The Bears are there. Yeah.
- 13:36Speaker 2: In this situation with the AFC North, I think the
- 13:38Speaker 2: winner of this game, clear driver's seat to win that division.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Next game. That's why we talk it out, Mikey.
- 13:46Speaker 1: This is what we do. Yeah.
- 13:48Speaker 2: The next game is a season-is-slipping-away game.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Wow, season slipping away game.
- 13:56Speaker 1: I got that one. Do you have it already? I
- 13:59Speaker 1: think so. I think it's at 425. 425. Usually the Cowboys. Oh, wow.
- 14:07Speaker 1: It's not. Cowboys are Monday night this week. All right,
- 14:11Speaker 1: so you're thinking Rams and Raiders here. I think it's
- 14:14Speaker 1: Rams and Raiders. Loser is going to see their season
- 14:16Speaker 1: slipping away. There's so many games, though. Giants and Texans. No,
- 14:22Speaker 1: Giants are fine because of where they're playing. Let me
- 14:28Speaker 1: scroll for a second. Seattle, Kansas City. Kansas City doesn't
- 14:34Speaker 1: have the season slipping away. Right. No, they don't.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm fairly confident in my answer of Rams, Raiders.
- 14:43Speaker 1: So Texans lose. They go to two and five. The
- 14:45Speaker 1: Giants lose with J.J. McCarthy. They're three, three, and one. Technically,
- 14:49Speaker 1: you could say season slipping away.
- 14:51Speaker 2: But also in first place.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. But still in first place.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Can your season slip away if you're in first place?
- 14:56Speaker 1: Put it on the ball. It can in certain divisions. Yes,
- 15:04Speaker 1: it can.
- 15:06Speaker 3: I mean, Tampa plays Carolina. Baker Mayfield's back. The Bucs
- 15:09Speaker 3: win that game. I'm not going to say they're not
- 15:10Speaker 3: going to win that division. Aren't the Panthers in first?
- 15:14Speaker 1: Yeah, but if they lose that game, can they still
- 15:17Speaker 1: win the division? The season's over. Well, yes, I guess
- 15:19Speaker 1: you're right. That division, yes. All right, so what's your
- 15:24Speaker 1: guess here? I'm going Rams-Raiders. That's our final answer, Taylor. Rams-Raiders.
- 15:29Speaker 2: You guys are two for two.
- 15:31Speaker 1: It's Rams-Raiders.
- 15:32Speaker 2: I don't think either of these two teams could afford
- 15:34Speaker 2: a loss where the Raiders started undefeated. It would be
- 15:37Speaker 2: a tough break for them to lose four consecutive games.
- 15:40Speaker 2: And then the Rams, we've kind of mentioned it already
- 15:42Speaker 2: this week. I think time is very quickly getting away
- 15:45Speaker 2: from them as the 49ers and potentially the Seahawks start
- 15:51Speaker 2: distancing themselves.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Yep, the Rams will be 2-5. The problem for the
- 15:54Speaker 3: Rams is the NFC North. That's a big problem because
- 15:57Speaker 3: all those teams could get in. I mean, it's crazy.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Anyway, next one.
- 16:01Speaker 2: So I have three more games. The next game, revenge
- 16:06Speaker 2: is a dish best served cold game.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Revenge. Boy, revenge is the dish best served cold game. Okay.
- 16:15Speaker 1: So it has to start with revenge.
- 16:17Speaker 4: I'm going to just tell you right now, if that's
- 16:19Speaker 4: not played in a cold weather, I'm going to be upset.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I know the game. I don't know the game. Okay.
- 16:27Speaker 1: I don't think I know the game. You don't know
- 16:28Speaker 1: the game.
- 16:28Speaker 2: What was your thought process?
- 16:30Speaker 3: I was thinking Seahawks and Chiefs for some reason. I
- 16:34Speaker 3: realized the Chiefs didn't make it to the Super Bowl.
- 16:39Speaker 1: Yeah. And the fact that I thought they did, they
- 16:41Speaker 1: didn't even make the playoffs. Wow. So revenge.
- 16:46Speaker 3: So, Mikey, these teams have had to play already, right?
- 16:49Speaker 3: Or maybe they played in a big game last year.
- 16:52Speaker 1: They either played or it's a return of somebody. Oh, right.
- 16:58Speaker 1: It's a singular player revenge. And it served colds. It
- 17:03Speaker 1: must be served cold. Right.
- 17:05Speaker 2: I'll give you guys a hint here. Revenge is best
- 17:08Speaker 2: served probably like, uh, like standard football weather. It's not cold.
- 17:13Speaker 1: It's not hot. Mid-60s? Yeah, yeah. Okay.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Maybe a little colder.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Okay. I am scrolling. I'm desperately trying to find. I
- 17:24Speaker 1: was hoping the Vikings played the Cardinals. They're not.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Revenge is best served in 50-degree weather.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Okay. Any guess, Mike? I'm not seeing it.
- 17:40Speaker 3: 50-degree weather.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Cowboys-Eagles?
- 17:51Speaker 3: What kind of revenge? Did the Eagles and Cowboys play already?
- 17:57Speaker 2: So do you guys want a hint?
- 17:58Speaker 1: Well, a second hint. I would love one. Yes, this
- 18:00Speaker 1: is a tough one, Taylor.
- 18:02Speaker 2: So I'll give you guys two hints, and then I
- 18:04Speaker 2: think we'll help you narrow it down.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Let's start with one. Let's start with one hint.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Mikey's thought process of it being a singular player was
- 18:12Speaker 2: the right track.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:15Speaker 3: So you have– I'm just looking at– I'm looking at quarterbacks, Mikey.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:25Speaker 3: So let's just scroll through these games. We're going to
- 18:27Speaker 3: talk it out. I want to get this right.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Wide receivers? Wide receivers? Houston, no? Really? Oh, really? Why?
- 18:33Speaker 1: Who's the wide receiver on Houston? I don't know. I'm just–
- 18:36Speaker 1: I mean– Marvin Harrison, they're not playing. Right.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Panthers and Bucs, there's no revenge there. The quarterback spot, Titans, Browns, White, 49ers, Falcons, no. Saints, Steelers, no.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Patriots, Bears.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Baker did come from Carolina. But I'll give you a hint,
- 18:54Speaker 2: that's not the game.
- 18:54Speaker 1: That's not the.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Game.
- 18:56Speaker 1: No.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Baker thinks it's a revenge game.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Not a revenge game.
- 19:02Speaker 2: But Baker thinks it.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Well, yes. Because he needs a chip on his shoulder. Arizona.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Who's in Arizona? Broncos. No, I can't find it. Packers. Love.
- 19:12Speaker 1: I can't find it.
- 19:13Speaker 2: You guys want the second hint?
- 19:14Speaker 1: Yes, I guess. I'm not happy.
- 19:16Speaker 2: And it'll probably give it away.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Stu, your first thought was dead on.
- 19:23Speaker 1: You had me. Quarterback. Well, no, he has me remembering
- 19:26Speaker 1: my first thought.
- 19:27Speaker 2: The first game that you mentioned, Stu, it was that game.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Chief Seahawks.
- 19:34Speaker 2: Chiefs Seahawks. Kenneth Walker, the Super Bowl MVP, is coming
- 19:39Speaker 2: back to Seattle. Seattle had the audacity to let Kenneth
- 19:42Speaker 2: Walker walk. And since then, the Chiefs just have the
- 19:45Speaker 2: best offense in all football. Patrick Mahomes looks like Patrick
- 19:48Speaker 2: Mahomes again. This is Kenneth Walker's chance to go back
- 19:51Speaker 2: to Lumen Field and say, you should have never let
- 19:54Speaker 2: me walk.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Thank you for the music. It's also Seattle's chance to say, hey,
- 19:57Speaker 1: we didn't need you.
- 20:00Speaker 2: A hey, we didn't need you game. Yeah, it could
- 20:01Speaker 2: have been.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Yes.
- 20:02Speaker 2: If I labeled it as a hey, we didn't need
- 20:04Speaker 2: you game, you'd probably get it faster.
- 20:05Speaker 3: They have Charbonneau. The reason they got rid of Kenneth
- 20:07Speaker 3: Walker is because of Charbonneau.
- 20:09Speaker 1: He's been out.
- 20:09Speaker 3: He's on the IR. He's back this week. Charbonneau, Charbonneau, tomato, tomato.
- 20:14Speaker 3: And I'm just telling you guys this. They're going to
- 20:16Speaker 3: feature him because they want to show Kenneth Walker and
- 20:19Speaker 3: the country why we let the MVP of the NFL
- 20:21Speaker 3: walk off of our team.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I like that. The rare revenge game for a running back. Yeah. Yeah.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Because that position's been rendered meaningless. I don't even think
- 20:32Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, exactly right. Yes. All right, next one.
- 20:38Speaker 2: The next game, an if-not-now-when game.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Oh, wow. Oh, that's got to be Miami and the Jets.
- 20:47Speaker 1: If Miami's not winning this game, then when? Okay. Is
- 20:50Speaker 1: that it? I'll go with Mikey on that. Is that it?
- 20:53Speaker 2: Listen, when Aaron Glenn is across from you on the sideline,
- 20:57Speaker 2: those are your two chances to win that game. And
- 21:01Speaker 2: if not now, when for this Dolphins team?
- 21:03Speaker 1: If not now, Glenn.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn kind of needs this win.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Now that we guessed it, you've got to have to
- 21:12Speaker 1: change it, too, if not now, Glenn. If not now, Glenn.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Yes, but that's what this win will do to us.
- 21:16Speaker 3: Me and Mikey have been tricked before. We'll be tricked again.
- 21:18Speaker 3: It gets them to three and four, and we're going
- 21:20Speaker 3: to think we're competitive again.
- 21:21Speaker 1: In the hunt. Yeah.
- 21:23Speaker 4: I will tell you, this game, this is a home
- 21:25Speaker 4: game for the Jets. If they lose this game, Aaron
- 21:29Speaker 4: Glenn can't get on the bus.
- 21:31Speaker 1: He has to walk home from East Rutherford. Okay. There's
- 21:35Speaker 1: no plane he can't get on.
- 21:36Speaker 2: I think he just drives home, I would assume.
- 21:38Speaker 1: Right. No, they lock his car. They take the keys.
- 21:41Speaker 1: They lock his car. No bus. No car. You have
- 21:44Speaker 1: to walk home. That's it. Yes. Yes. And feel free
- 21:48Speaker 1: to just keep walking. I mean, if you lose this game.
- 21:51Speaker 2: Unless you want to stay as the defensive coordinator.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an odd game because Mikey's right. They lose,
- 21:57Speaker 3: and Aaron Glenn has to walk home. They win, and
- 21:59Speaker 3: they're back in the conversation, and Aaron Glenn could be
- 22:01Speaker 3: the coach of the year.
- 22:05Speaker 1: A lot riding on it. Balls. Yeah, I know.
- 22:08Speaker 2: The last game that I have this week.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Yes.
- 22:12Speaker 2: The classic, the tried and true, the measuring stick game.
- 22:16Speaker 1: Oh, I think I know what I'm like. Measuring stick game.
- 22:19Speaker 1: The measuring stick game. That is. Well, it's not going
- 22:23Speaker 1: to be Chief Seahawks. He already used it. Not going
- 22:28Speaker 1: to be Bengals Ravens. He used it. Can you use
- 22:30Speaker 1: the same game twice?
- 22:31Speaker 2: I'll give you a hint. I do not do duplicates.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Okay. Falcons 49ers. That's a measuring stick game. Detroit Green Bay.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Did we use that one? No. Is the Patriots Bears
- 22:45Speaker 1: a measuring stick game? I think it might be. I
- 22:50Speaker 1: think it might be. Yep. I'll take that one.
- 22:53Speaker 3: All right, Thursday night football, Pats-Bears. That's our final answer, Taylor.
- 22:57Speaker 3: I don't know why we made this Jeopardy.
- 22:58Speaker 2: And you guys finished it with another win because it's Patriots-Bears.
- 23:02Speaker 1: What a great game for Thursday night football. What did
- 23:04Speaker 1: we go, four to five? Four for five?
- 23:06Speaker 2: Yeah, the only game you didn't get was the– Because
- 23:09Speaker 2: you made it about a running back. Revenge is best
- 23:11Speaker 2: served cold. And I'll give you guys an asterisk because
- 23:13Speaker 2: I mentioned the cold, and I think once I mentioned
- 23:15Speaker 2: the cold, you guys just went probably like frozen tundra.
- 23:18Speaker 3: And I don't think Kenneth Walker is worried about revenge.
- 23:20Speaker 3: I think he's fine where he is. I think it's
- 23:22Speaker 3: going to be like a thank you game. Thanks for
- 23:23Speaker 3: sending me here.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Wow.
- 23:25Speaker 2: Thanks for sending me your game.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Thanks for the memories. Yes. I'm going to make better ones.
- 23:33Speaker 3: I mean, he has a chance to win more Super
- 23:35Speaker 3: Bowls in Kansas City than he would have had he
- 23:37Speaker 3: stayed in Seattle.
