Episode 31 The NFL is Inside Us and We Give Our Thoughts on That · Los Pickups Podcast

• Los Pickups Main: Listen, I know everything that's shiny always gonna Are we live? Yeah. Alright. We still? Yeah. Hey everybody, welcome back to Love's Pickup Podcast. And let me tell you right now, it is mu one of the most, if not the most, exciting time of the year because why? Starts tomorrow. I mean it is the Sea Cox and the Patriots, but it should be cool because football's back. And I'm excited. He's excited. He's excited. We're excited in this bitch. Again, we are those pickups. Thanks again for tuning in. We are coming to you guys with all the regular weekly the denarisms, tisms, tickle biddies, and everything in between these. I don't know. We got a lot of stuff to talk about. It's gonna be great because the NFL season's here. And this is the one time of the year we are even extra delusional because we all think we have a chance. Here we are. So To get us started, let's go over here and start with my boy Riley, because I think I'm stressing out right now. I'm drafting. I'm grafting though. Let's not start with Riley. We should explain why he's stressed. Riley scheduled fantasy football. I didn't schedule it. Raleigh is partaking during the podcast in an NFL fantasy football draft with who? it's is it's like is Stanley Friends. Is it with the one who pops? It he's in it, but he's not the commissioner. Gotcha. Yeah, the other one he was a commissioner and was two drafts ago last week. And he picked up Bryce Hall in the third. Brees Hall. In the fourth. He did he did pick up. He did pick up Stevie Lame and Christian McCaffrey in the first two rounds, which I think is solid. Right? Yep. And he's trying to pick up back. And then I picked up T. Higgins. T. Higgins in the third round is also probably a little questionable, but Yeah. I'm not doing too hot on this route. My other drafts were great. It's okay. You know what? This one's only ten dollars, I'll say. Crazier shit has happened in multiple fantasy leagues that we've all partaken in, right? Right? Yeah. With lesser teams. Yeah. Right? Mm-hmm. I think we're gonna be okay. But that being said, good luck with the rest of your draft. I hope it's Thanksgiving. Better than what we got so far. Me too. Me too. But no, back to the task at hand, back to the subject at hand. Football is back. We're all excited. as I mentioned before, like we're all pretty delusional about our about our respective franchises, how great of an off season or not great of an off season. It doesn't matter. Everything starts out, you know, clean slate, zero zero. And honestly, it's one of the better feelings because like yeah, it's just that little bit of hope, you know what I'm saying? Personally, with as little bias as possible, that's a lot that's a lot. We got a ton of bias for our own teams. We do think we were actually we're gonna have a better season than we did the the year prior. it's very easy for Riley to have a better season than th than last year because well he didn't make the playoffs. We did. Sorry, was that messed up? No, no. Nope. Nope. As we say with a straight face. We were dookie. But that's okay because you know what? Maybe we the only way to go from here is up, right my man? yeah. That's what I'm saying. So that's what I'm saying. While you while you he's fine. as we start off real fast with e with every game. here we're not gonna go too much into every single game just because I mean don't really care about all the other franchises that are gonna be par participating this we in week one. We'll go a little bit like who we who our picks are for each victory, but otherwise we're not gonna go too crazy as far as each victory or each game. say what? Each victory or each game. But it's gonna be our pick. Yeah, so like we'll so like for example, Patriot Seahawks tomorrow, we'll give our picks and then move on. Okay. Does that work for you guys? Yeah that works. Excellent. So, like I just said, Patriots, Seahawks, first game of the season. A little weird just because it is technically a Wednesday not technically, it is a Wednesday. not very common, but it is what it is. this is a rematch of last year's Super Bowl, which we all remember, the Seahawks. I mean Seahawks ended up mollywapping these Patriots pretty bad. the only real great thing about that Super Bowl was Bad Bunny's half-time performance. Shout out Benito. otherwise after that it was kind of this news fest. Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks, I guess, but I digress. So, rematch, Super Bowl, who you guys got? The Patriots got AJ Brown and the Patriots beefed up their O line. I'm gonna go Patriots. Riley. The Seattle Seahawks lost their offensive coordinator. I think that will maybe affect the Seahawks' rhythm overall. So I think the Patriots will overcome what they did in the fucking Super Bowl and beat the Seahawks. Clean slate, right? Yeah. Try to try to make make amends or not make amends, atone for their disaster from the Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah. Especially withone. with with shiny new weapons like AJ Brown. Right? Yep. this is gonna be year three, right, for Drake May. Year three. Yeah. you know, i this could be, you know, potentially an V P candidate year depending on how much he builds. He had a successful year last year. He did have a successful I think regular season and then playoffs it kinda like What goes back to my point. Like I think he's gonna have the like theoretically he could potentially build off of that. I mean, you guys remember I I'm not particularly a fan. Yeah. You had a lot of heat for him last year. yeah. yeah, I still think I still think why are you scaling it back now? He's still a bum, but I'm trying to be respectful here. Like what do you want me to say? You can't be respectfully calling somebody a bum. So you might as well delve into the dis disrespects. The real talents in that May family With North Carolina guilt tar heels in the basketball chamber sheet. That's all I gotta say. But anyways. Did he play? That's a deep cut. Did his brother play? Yes, he did. Exactly like top ten in North Carolina scoring history, but that's beside the point. So, anyways, Seahawks Patriots. I could land in North Carolina tomorrow and be top ten in something. What is there in North Carolina? Dive bars, dude. Dad bars? Dive bars. Dive bars, barbecue. We're talking specifically. Up how sports? North Carolina? No, we were specifically talking about Patriot Seahawks, and you can brought it in call it basketball. Anyways, so we're gonna move on. That's not the point. He's belligerent. But that's besides the point. So I've only had one capple. Just the one. Half a capital. Capel? For those of you at home that have no idea what he's talking about. I got up an A. It would have been a Babel, but Babbles are out. Now we got Capel. Keystone light. Keystone light apple flavored. Capple. So capple. Clapple? Capple? Clapple. Keystone light. Clapple. That sounds horrible. Sounds like an STD. That sounds like something you call it. Clapple, dude. But like you hooked up with like a some some supername Destiny and that's what she gave you. You know what I'm saying? I mean that's what you call when you get hung over off clapple. Destiny gave you the clapple. Destiny. I caught the clapple. So we all picked the Patriots in the first match of the regular season. Thursday. Is that surprising though? Which part? That we b all picked the fucking Yeah, none of us like the Seahawks. Okay. Devil's advocate, what have the Seahawks got? I'm going for him. Just their defense. They're the defending champs. They're the defending champs, so they have a good defense, so we'll see, but their offense might be a little They're the defending champs of this for a reason, right? They did lose their shelter. they did lose I I think a a very important like safety valve and Kenneth Walker. Right? Yeah. I'm curious to see what the running is gonna be. With no road replacement. It was a rookie that Jordan Price, I believe, or Jaden Price. I forget his reason. Jadarian. Jadarian Price, okay. But again, I mean, that's quite quite the hope on Someone but we don't even know their name. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you could you could call us certified haters, I guess we'll see I am a hater. And I just don't want to start the season with I can already see it, bro. They like fucking get a pick six off Drake May and all the Seahawk people start running down the end zone, all the players in the end zone, they go, Yeah, yeah, we're the defending champs. Yeah, bro, it's on our turf. Yeah, yeah, we're the dark side. The name they gave themselves. The name they gave themselves. Is that is that originally insensitive? I thought it was. But Sports Illustrated said otherwise. Just checking. No We're on the same page. I don't know. We're on same page. The dark side, really? I guess yeah, I don't know. The fuck does that why else would it be the dark side? on the Because like you cover them and so there's like Would Raiders be the dark side though? Since since what? What did you say? Wouldn't wouldn't the Raiders consider themselves the dark side? Like I think we're going a in a a direction I don't think we intend it to. No. we call our stadium the Death Star, so like I don't know. Since when? if you I'm not a radius fan, so I'm I'm curious. So Allegiant Stadium is the desktop. I think you'd be the mildly lit side of Mildly lit side? Yeah. Stay on, bro. You don't want to patriot like that? anyway. Yeah, I know. It's what he's good at. so do my brain's soft for now. We're haters. Well, Aslan and I are haters. I think it takes a more diplomatic approach when it comes to peaking these teams, right? For the Seahawks, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I I did want the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl against the What good does that do football? For the Seahawks to win the full. Yeah, wh why why would you want the Seahawks to win o over the Patriots? Mm I mean for the longest time the Patriots were enemy number one at the time. To who? You? From like the Tuck rule of Tom Brady, yeah. Okay. Like I I don't know. That's Okay. That's how you map. okay. Yeah, that was controversial. that I'm just he kinda shut you up with on the most products. That's I mean they've constantly made the pro so we now we need to know like No, his argument is a argument for any patriot hater ape ever. Yeah. It it's that they were they reigned for too long. Mm. And people were just tired of them. Yeah. That's fair. And you what? Like I'll I'll I'll f I think it it's not really a secret. I out of the three of us, I'm like the if you can call it that, I'm the latest addition to being a a big time fan of football altogether. I've been the Bears fan for my whole life, but these last couple of years is when I really started like tuning in and actually registering what was going on with the franchise and stuff. for real? I mean we're talking from like Jay Cutler on. That's that's it. I gave you shit about that and you threw it in my face. Which part I love Jay Cutler. That you were only watching since Jay Cutler and then you like Rick Scrollsman I can read. Like I can do I can do a deep dive in history. Alright, fair enough. We're sidetracking, my bad. But we have but my point is more yeah. We yeah. But but my point is like you know, the it it's easy to hate on the Patriots or other because they were considered like the okay, we're done with you guys. and even if I like reflect on it myself. Tired. We want to see new teams I it wasn't so for me it was never actually so much like the team itself, because I mean mean as as someone that tries to understand and respect the game in all facets, whether it be from you know, from top to bottom, I have a hard time hating on Tom Brady. He might be a bit of a douche, but like as far like winning goes, the guy just knows how to win. What killed it for me for the Patriots is that that piece of shit Bilichick. Bilichick, yeah. Yeah. Or craft. And that's a and that's a whole nother conversation in itself. Right. but as far as like from the from just because it's girls in college. Say what? I I'm sorry I said that one too. That makes me a hater of things. Yeah, no just it's definitely so just the five. It doesn't help. It's fucking crazy. It doesn't help. Money's a motherfucker, bro. Money's a powerful thing. Who says who says you can't buy love? But I get what you guys are saying. But moving right along, we all picked the Patriots. Seattle, good luck. You're the defending champs, you a bullseye on your back, kinda. Alright, cool, here go. Thursday night game. This one's kinda special because it's in Australia. Right? Yeah. That's a pretty big deal. You know, the the the foot the the sport is growing beyond the pond. over the last couple of years you've already had football in you know in England. this year it's in Australia. We we have football in Mexico in Mexico City this year, which is fucking dope. You know what I'm saying? Which they've had. It's been like two or three games now. But my point is no, like so like it's it's all it's going global. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That that Mexico is just like a an example. Yeah. So now we like England it makes sense. huge amount amount of Bears fans in England for some reason. I I forgot exactly the reason why. It had to do with the eighty five Bears. but that blew my mind. It d doesn't quite make sense in my head. but now it's going to Australia and as as if like, you know, the sport doesn't generate enough money as it is, let's just get everybody else's money too. Yeah. You know what I mean? But I think but that's not a great idea. But honestly it's pretty cool. Why don't they make the Pro Bowl in all these countries? That would be better. Didn't that's actually a great question, but didn't they just like nix the pro? They did. But why didn't they like because yeah, it's great that these games are happening all Didn't they Nix like kill them off? I don't know. Sorry. that's like that. That's not what I meant at all. So the yeah, they stopped the Pro Bowl. They stopped doing the Pro Bowl but because nobody like really cared for it, which is I which I understand. But I don't know, maybe people would show up if they if all these players would go across the across the country it'd be a great time to like start networking. It's already difficult because people are playing across the country but they're trying to do it in the regular season and there's only s like twenty weeks weeks of the f of the football season and it like really fucks with the players' schedules to be sent like across the world. And so it's like how do you make that more efficient, right? They're trying to find like mega fucking speed rail super planes so that the trip back and forth isn't as crazy. But I also don't want to be a football player going like three hundred miles an hour in the in the in the in the air, you know, in the sky flying. So then it's like what are the options, right? Well the first game of the season can go be Melbourne Or wherever else and they give the team Melbourne, thank you. Yep. And then it'll give people time to go back and forth 'cause it's the first or it's before your bye or something like that. But it takes so much coordination. So why not make the Pro Bowl in other countries? That way people can get used to the stars. People who lose can go fucking play in Croatia or some shit, you know? But isn't isn't that the next I guess the closest thing would be like rugby moving? What the fuck does Mexico have? Sorry. That's what I'm saying. Well actually pause. They actually do. Shout out to the Mexican national flag football team for the ladies. They're fucking dumb. Shout out Diana Flores, I love you. That's different. Hey, chill up. But they technically do have football. That's like Baple and Capel. Is it? Yeah. Please explain. You're you're trying to compare apples to Baples. I hate clap. You know that word. That that was good. Yeah. That was good. Still hate you. Back to the fucking game. Shout out Diana. Shout out Diana Floaters. So Niners Rams, Australia, Thursday night game. Lots of stuff h surrounding that game in my opinion is just because you got the forty Niners who are just they're they're good all the time. Like they haven't had a bad season like in my opinion. as an outside perspective, right, there's like they they just know how to win. Kyle Shanahan works with what he got, right? you as a Niners fan I'm sure you have your own opinion of Shanahan altogether. Yeah. but I mean last year y'all were the walking wounded, right? And you s and you still managed to to to get a a decent season in the playoffs. And beat the then reigning champs Eagles. The Eagles in Philadelphia. In Philly. Yeah yeah. With no receiving court. With no core. But Honestly, it's I mean that's respectable, it's admirable. Right. Now the thing is you're coming you're coming back healthy, right? Kinda. For the most part, right? We gave Christian McCaffrey like over three hundred touches last season I think, but and he's got bionic legs now. Yeah. What happens in Germany stays in Germany in Germany. Maybe theoretically. But th the other big story surrounding that game or the matchup is the LA Rams, who, on top of, you know, arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time with Master Staffords. Still a gunslinger, still a high volume quarterback. Yeah. Decent receiving core. Yeah. so so running core. Decent Tyler Higbee, Devontae Adams, Puga Nakula. I did a disrespect. a cr that's a good receiving core. Yeah. Okay. They got a good receiving court. Yeah. Alright. So so running running back court. Right? They got an they got a good million, right? the defense is short up, right? They made big moves in the off season. Yep. The biggest one being Miles Garrett. And that's saying something because they also stole the Chiefs cornerbacks. For th they robbed and broad they made. Yeah, they yeah. They took both of their like great cornerbacks for the Chiefs because the Chiefs weren't gonna wanna pay them. Those were already big moves for the defense. And then they bring in Miles Garrett to leverage fucking Aaron Donald to come back. Which for the record Donald didn't actually make the trip to Australia, so he's not playing week one. But you would scared of Glock Purdy. Because he's fucking terrified. He's never sacked Brock Purdy. Look it up, it's a stat. I'm as you side. Two games a year. half a decade. He's he's Brockard. He couldn't. Brock hard, right? I'm Brockhard. I know you Lock Purdy is slangin' dirty. Bang Bang Niner gang, I'm saying forty nineers forty eight, Rams three. In Australia. Is that your real answer? Yep. Forty eight to three. Yeah. The San Francisco forty nineers are gonna score forty eight points and they're gonna hold the LA Rams at three points. Yeah, because the Rams made the trip this week to Australia. We've already been there for a week because we wanted to get acclimated. So obviously we take the game more seriously. And the Rams are a bunch of A la LA little whiny boys. And so they're they're too prissy to want to get their jerseys dirty. Same with the chess. And Matt Stafford is one fucking leg in the game and the other one in the coffin already with his old ass. That's and so is Devontae Adams playing with the fucking limp, walking around. acting like he's gonna do something. Devontae'd love to get you on the podcast. But these are Hall of Fame players he's talking about. And I think the Niners are gonna do great. I think Debo's gonna be pissed. Debo always hates the Rams. It's in Australia, we're gonna get juiced up. It's gonna be dub city. Dub city. See that at the losing. Yo, Riley, what about you, buddy? Who do you think? Rands Niners in Australia. mine might be more realistic and I think it's gonna be a field goal game. Just because I think both defenses are gonna show up and d and play really well. Just I think the offense will not What if I told you that we have a wide receiver rookie? Sorry. What? What? Because you love rookie players. He's not a rookie. automatically giving the giving them the advantage. Obviously. So we're gonna give them one chances. I think the fucking L are gonna kick your ass, dude. I honestly think they're gonna be guys it's gonna be definitely it's gonna I it's it's not gonna be like a field goal game. my god. I know, I know it's not gonna be a field I was I can guess myself here. So okay. I I'm clicking things together. So it's gonna be like twenty-three to let's say seventeen Rams. Twenty-three to seventeen RAMs. We got forty-eight to three Rams. Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah yeah I don't know like Yeah it's not ridiculous it's not ridiculous to say that twenty three seventeen RAM And what's your fucking score? What's your analysis? I'm actually I think I do like the Niners. What's your analysis, Skip? Don't don't call me that. Fuck that dude. No. Come on, Skip. Those kidding us, we'd love to have you on the show. No, I'd rather have Shannon Sharp Dog. Bro, they just did an episode of their podcast at the strip club. We're gonna beat the Rams so bad they're gonna sound like some pigs. Hey, hey, what my what am I gonna over say? Bump to ass. No, all bullshit aside. I do like the Niners I think, you know, went healthy and they've gotten healthier. I mean they did lose they they're not gonna have Pearsall for the season. But they still have enough weapons on offense to get this shit done. The Rams are gonna be scary, yes, but it's the first week of the season. The Niners are are probably feeling that sting from their outing in the playoffs last year. I'm saying thirty to thirteen Niners. And forty eight to three is bad? Thirty to thirteen? Yeah, that's still pretty crazy. Thirty, three zero, not f forty. To thirteen. Yeah. Why is that crazy? Okay, forty eight points, right? Yeah. That's motherfucking. Six computers do all that on the business game. You work out of Finance that knows how to do computer math. the forty eight points, that's at least six tutties. Each tutty, Brock Purdy's gonna give me a Duggy. Six Duggies in Australia, come on. I don't think it's gonna be that much. The final score's gonna be like like like thirteen to ten. Yeah Maybe I should have stuck with field goals. No. So two nine is one rim. I'm trying to bet this guy that we're gonna score more points than the Raiders week one. What what's a bet that justifies that? You probably will. Not gonna lie. Raiders always shit the better first. You said we'd only score twenty, bro. Melbourne. I said seventeen but You said the Rams are gonna beat us? Yeah. I said Rams twenty three, you guys seventeen. With Mike Evans scoring a tuady. 'Cause I just drafted him. And Christian McCaffrey. That's why keep the grass cut so I know when the snakes try to pull up. Jesus Christ. Bars. I stole it from somebody, I don't remember. We don't even talk about that right now. Moving on. Next game. Now these are the Sunday games, okay? early God early ass games, bro. Football season. I know, I know. Ten a.m. bro. Ten AM. I just moved a little bit. Yeah, read a job. You ever eat a jalapeno pop right at 10 a.m.? Football season is different. You haven't lived! Are you here though? Are we here? I think I'm open on Sunday. Yeah. I'll be here. Yeah. We're the big bird. Saints Lions. I'm gonna go Saints. That's the Lions though. Yeah, you think so? Yeah. I think so too. I think it's gonna be Saints at the end of the surprise week one always gives a in Detroit. I think it's gonna be a close game. In Detroit. Yeah. I think it's gonna be a close game, but Detroit's gonna pull it pull out. They didn't they got bounced? I don't even think they need the bounce. So what are you talking about? I think Saints are up and coming that quarterback sho Shug. Shok? Show. And we we gotta figure out how to say his name 'cause we've all fucked up his name. And I and I actually feel bad. Yeah, no. Shog? Is it is it sh I thought it was Sho. Actually, I think it's Shuk. What? Shook. S H O U G H is S Shook. Yeah, they pronounced it on live TV. You can you can fact check me. That's crazy. Anyways, please fact check me. Saying lion is lions? Let's go. Let's see if Calchee works. Saints Lions Lions? Yeah. Excellent. Alright, moving right along. Buccaneers Bengals. And shout out to Baker. He got he just got his extension today. Yeah. I I love Baker, actually. He's a great guy. Damn it. Put his in he dude, he's in and out too. Put them zins in. He's ready to go. I thought you guys said Calci wasn't working. Did it work? I just bought ten bucks of Florida gas prices tomorrow. Trying to test something. Did it actually work? Yes. Well, I have fucking ten bucks of this shit. Can I cash out please? That's so funny. actually work? Yeah, I have money in it right now. Yeah. In a bet. Alright, well I'll try it later. Anyways I knew I knew they were gonna try and like redo the thing. fight the whole overturn or try to overturn the law or whatever. Not the law. blocked categories. I wish I didn't just bet ten dollars on Florida. I wish I never thought ten dollars. Lasado Montes hits a three run home run in the bottom of the fourth. Nice. Saints lines lines. Yep. Yep. Buckhammer's bangles. Buckhammer's bangles. Bangles. You got bangles? Yeah. Shootout or blowout. Shootout. Shootout. Shootout. Shootout. George Burr's been itching, bro. Itching to get back on the field. I think. And Baker Mayfield just got paid. Yeah. It's a beauty game. I think it's a big game. I think s I think so too. Yeah, this is a tough one, dude. I'm actually I I'm a fan I'm a fan of Joe Burrow, but bro. Baker's a dog. Yeah. I'm I'm I got I got Tampa Bay in that one. Baker's a dog, I just don't think the Bucks have enough firepower. Ibuka? Eggbuka. Eggbuka. Eggbuka regressed Irving in the s in the second half of the season. You think so? Yeah. Bucky Irving, maybe. When he was splitting shares with Rashad he was splitting shares with Rashad White because he couldn't carve himself the prominent role. Right. All they have is Igbuka. Yeah. Godwin f shattered his shit the season before and barely came back last season. They don't have Mike Evans anymore. Mike Evans was a safety blanket. Kinda. season but every other time safety blanket. Mm-hmm. You know? So B they they're throwing a lot on Baker's shoulders. And I think Joey I like McMillan too man. McMillan's solid. McMillan's okay as a third. I'm taking T. Higgins and Jamar Chase and Chase Brown. Chase Brown over McMillan. That's what I was thinking. That's what I was thinking too. It's like they just have more player Joey Burr is better than Baker. Dangles Bangles Bucks. Yeah. Bangles Bangles Bucks. Alright. Moving on. Ravens Colts. Dann Jones is back. Yeah, Daniel. Indiana Jones, dude. Indiana Jones is back. Indian Jones is back. No, I'm Ravens. I think it's Raven, bro. No, I hope Daniel don't dismiss the Colts though. I hope Indiana Jones is I'm not gonna disrespect Lamar and their Zay Flowers or they'll disrespect the cult still, I they're gonna be I think they're gonna be solid too. I like Alec Pierce. Alec Pierce is solid. Alec Pierce is pretty good. Josh Downs is pretty good. And Donovan Taylor. And Josh Downs. And Tyler Warren. No, who else is their wide receiver? I know you said his name like I know. they did lose Pittman? Yeah, Michael Pittman's out. At Pittsburgh? Yeah. Who's quarterback for Pittsburgh? Rogers? Yeah, he's fucking coming back. One one more season. Alright. Hopefully. Hopefully one more season. Another eight on eight season. I mean they got a decent receiving court too. DK and Pittman. Tyler Warren as a tight end for the for the Colts was really good. yeah, actually he's he's a major fancy player too. Ravens Colts. I got ravens. I got ravens. I got John. I got Ravens. It should be a good game. Yeah. I think Jacoby Lane, coming from USC, he's gonna actually Jonathan Taylor's probably gonna have like three touchdowns. Sure. Yeah. Probably. I hope so, I have him. Alright, here's here's a juicy one. Browns Jags. Everyone's picking like the Jaguars in that one in that one thing. Why wouldn't they? I know. The Browns suck, bro. wa watch the Browns upset the Jags though. No fucking way. Wait with D'Ashon wanting? No fucking way. Shador. No D'Ashon is is a Q is a week one started. He gets injured and Shador takes over and Shador's not a rookie anymore. You don't have to keep blowing him. Yeah. Fuck off, dude. I think he's better than Deshaun. Riley's Rightfully so, I guess. This is this is Riley's heir to the Brown succession. Deshaun Brown gets You wanna give a a pedophile or a berber? Deshaun Watson gets fucking he's a predator. Deshaun Watson gets Epstein during the game. And then they have fucking Shadur as an arrested, not that they make him disappear. That they as an arrested. They arrest Deshaun That they arrest Deshaun. Listen to me, jeez. That they're gonna arrest the sh Deshaun Watson on the fucking field, and then Shadur is gonna throw like three pick sixes for Dylan Grabrel to come in and save the Browns because he was a rookie at one point in time. That's Riley's That's Riley's succession to the Browns fucking quarterback situation because Dylan Gabriel was actually pretty good in college and he needed a shot. So Jags, Jags, Jags. Yeah. Give me Prince Charming. Give me Prince Charming all day. I feel you. For those of y'all who don't know, that's Chevrolet Lawrence. Next matchup, another juicy one. Jets. Titans. Titans. The Jets, bro. I want Gino The Titans in that as well. I have to say about that. Fair enough. I got the Jets. What about you, buddy? Jets and Titans. I have the Titans, dude. Why? Cam Word's better than fucking Gino. All We can't anymore. yeah. No, I'm alright. The next one. just put ten dollars on Florida's gas prices. I'm on shit. Bill's Texans. I think this is a good matchup. In what world? Yeah, the Texans beat the Buffalo. With fucking CJ Stroud throwing out fucking buy one get one free Dollar Tree burgers. I think he has more depth than his on the still both lost but they bet they they bested but how do they lose I think the Texans bested it twice. I think in the regular season and how did they lose if you don't if you don't want to disrespect the Colts with fucking Indiana Jones or whatever, how are you gonna disrespect the team that made it further in the playoffs? Because and has playoffs are better team now. Playoffs are circumstantial. They got th they got David Montgomery now a legitimate running back with RB one. With Woody Marks complimentary as a running back. great so then they don't have to throw the football? Not as much. No, and risk injury. They still have Nico Collins. They still got Nico Collins. CJ Stroud is gonna have a long time. They still got Dalton Schultz as a backup. They still they picked up Keyshawn Booty from freaking And he booty. Yeah. It's fucking name. It's in his name. Josh Allen's going for three tutties and two fucking posters. Okay. Into the end zone. Okay. So you got so you got the Bills. And then James Cook's going for another two. I I think I'm going with Texans too. Go. I mean let's just let's just I know ball. Let's pause. I think yeah, I know ball too much. Do Texans have a better Josh Allen had the easiest path to a fucking Super Bowl last year. A a Super Bowl path without Patrick Mahomes. He had of without Lamar Jackson. Mm-hmm. And he still didn't fucking get there. Mm-hmm. How much longer do you think the team's gonna wanna play for a quarterback that can't pull through? Are you asking the fucking Texans or you asking the Bills? That's a great fucking pivot, bitch. I'm talking about the Texans. CJ Stroud is not the answer. And to your point, Josh Allen is? Yes. If he hasn't fucking won, who's who's gonna stand by your question was, who's gonna stand by somebody who can't get it done? You can have all the flash Josh Allen has all the flash of the flare in the world. Throw for fucking four hundred yards, four touchdowns, I will not let you fucking drag Josh Allen down to fucking CJ Strauss level. No, and I wanna be very clear. I respect the fuck out of Josh Allen, but to your argument That's fucking God telling you to shut up. So you're acting like a goddamn fool and you're belligerent. You're fucking belligerent. Just say your opinion and s shut up! Why do we have to divulge in everything? Why do we have to explain our standings? We have like ten more games to talk about. We're cruising around the world, what do you mean? are we? Yeah. Okay. Chill us or not. Josh Allen what the fuck Josh Allen can carry a team. I just don't a and that's all I need. That's all I need. So bells, taxings, taxings. Yes. Alright. Falcon Stealers Woohoo boo fucking steelers dude's gonna win that to Drake London all day, baby. He knows balls. I love Drake London. Let's go. Bijan Robinson, give the motherfucking the ball. Bijan. Bijan and Brian Robinson Jr. BJ J. R Dijon. I said Dijon. BJ. Dijon Mustard. It's Bijan. Are you sure it's Bijan? Have you talked to Bijan directly? Yes, dog. Bro, I was DMing him before he got drafted. Shut up. Me and him are like this, we locked in. Friendship bracelets. So you're gonna I'm trying to upload this the next day. my god, dude. That wasn't bad. That was pretty bad. Not for our demographic I think. You see this couch? You know what? Falcons all day, baby. Falcons all day. I'm just scared. I know you're fucking with me. Do it, do it, that's fine. Is it? Yeah. Stop stop showing the camera your belly button. Six pack. He just hates Aaron Rodgers. That's why he's I just hate Aaron Rodgers. That's literally what I think. How many years does Aaron Rodgers have to be removed from the packers for you to just stop? Dude, how many weapons does Rodgers have right now? He has so many. He has Rico Dattle, he Jalen Warren, he has frickin' Michael Pittman Jr., he has DK Metcalf. How many years is it gonna be for Patrick Mahomes to be retired? For you not to hate Patrick Mahomes anymore. Once he's fucking retired. I call Cap. That's a capital right there. I'm not captain though. As soon as he retires I'm celebrating. Stunzo. That's not any better. If I've forgiven Russell Wilson, I'll forgive Patrick Mahomes. At the start of a new dawn. Let me let me enjoy this. It's the start of a new dawn, I'm full of hope, bro. Stealers, stealers, Falcons, okay? Move them right along. This already has a different feel than the past podcast. leaks today. Yeah, leak. Alright, so next one. Bears panties. Bears. I got bears. Why'd you hesitate? I got the bears. I did I had it on pr on purpose. Just to have the reaction. Any thoughts? On the second half of of the season though, if it was Bears, Panthers in the second half, I would say Panthers. Because the Panthers always crank up. I the last two seasons they played better in the last half of the season. But I think the Panthers are gonna be a good team in this season. I think so too. Bryce, if he can start the way he plays in the second half of the season, if he can start that way, good. They they're they're a sleeper team. And I like Tedaroa McMillan. Tedaroa McMillan? I don't know bro, since you know how to pronounce fucking names. How do you not know how to say his name? I just don't know what his name is. It's different than not pronouncing it. You just mispronounce his name without even knowing it. So you still misconduct. No, I just don't know his name. You said his full name. Is that his name? Yes. Tetaroa McMillan? I don't know, but that's how you pronounce is how you pronounce it? Yeah. Doesn't feel good, does it? Fucking asshole. Alright, moving on. Huh? It's Tetero Yeah, but the the the word in question was the last name. And we got that. Do you feel good? Yeah, dude. Great. You feel good? Alright. Packers Vikings. Packers Vikings? Packers Vikings. Well I picked the Packers so I already picked the Packers. I don't I don't see the Vikings playing Kalamury was good with DIY. Kalum Murray can fucking continue throwing grenades dude and fuck him That's why do you hate Kalamurray? Because he sucks. Why does he suck to you? Why does he suck to you? I don't want to I I think he runs more than what he can I think he runs and gets out of the pocket way more than he actually should and doesn't stick in the pocket. Does it help if he's still the size of a rookie? Reason why I'm picking the back He's still growing, man. He's He's still growing! He's rookie sucking. He's still growing! I don't understand why you hate him so much. I think I just it just takes me back to when he made that two point conversion that lasted like a minute long. And he was running in circles and then somehow he was wide open for he ran into the end zone. So instead of calling that playmaking authil ability, you say he's a After he hurt himself, I don't think he's gonna be able to make those plays. Sorry, Rangers are up nine to three. That's not that's not the question though. I still don't like him. I think he's You don't like his playing at his play style. I don't like his playstyle. I think he's he's still thinking he's in college and he's not gonna be able to make they got Justin Jefferson though, and Jordan Love's kind of a dumbass with this game dis with this decision making, so And they don't they don't got Dodge Jacobs for being a dumbass. So yeah, but they they don't like their running back who they lost Dobbs. I think they actually ended up with the Patriots, I Yeah, Ray Dobbs. Dobbs and nobody else can catch on there. No. We got craft. Coming back from ACL, a crazy ass ACL. Jaden Reed. Jaden Reed's good. Watson's good. I hate the dude, but Watson's good. Watson's good for one touchdown downfield. A burner. And then Golden. Golden's not bad. Jaden Reed can't hold onto a bot to save his fucking life. And I think their running back has something to prove as well. Why? Is he rookie Riley? Trends, patterns. Riley likes rookies. Riley really likes rookies. I mean there's a there's a joke in there. I I don't think I want to make it but there's definitely there's definitely a joke there. maybe like in the future when we like get like a huge set. Riley can have his own segment where he's like talking about up and coming rookies and it's called Riley playing hooky with rookies. I'll get another beer. Dude, you got a beer right here. Riley playing hooky with rookies. Hey dude yo, he he com he comes up with that shit so quick too, bro. It's it's a it's a gift. You get you get as mad 'cause he write. Hey, but for real, while he's not here. While he's not here. Why? What is it with you and Ricky's dude? Dude, I Dude, it's nothing to do with me and rookies. I've just seen rookies do really well, running backs and wide receivers, over the years and he could have something going. So so you like so you like like one hit wonders? Is that what it is? Not only one hit wonders. I mean it's it's not only that. It's just I like He watches a lot of college boss, he likes to watch the story and I like to see them coming out of college. In all seriousness, he likes to you know. I like to see them coming out of college. Fuck you. You you keep walking right into it. I know. Bill Belichick and Riley walk into a book. What's the joke? It's a college bar. Motherfucker you're stupid Hmm. D dude, he's he's on one right now. I also saw him play in USC, so I know where he came from. so in college, huh? Yeah, USC. I mean US like I like USC. That's not the joke. The Trojans. Lot of Trojans in college. And I love college. Alright. So Did we grow up yet? No. Uh-huh. you said Packers? Nope. You said Vikings? Vikings. Packers? Packers. I'm gonna go Vikings just because I fucking hate the cheese head. So that's that's valid. That's right. Next game. Alright buddy. Your time to shine, buddy. Dolphins Raiders. Dolphins Raiders. Dolphins Raiders, baby. Dolphins Raiders in Vegas. I think if we play to our strengths, playing with Kirk Cousins, he's slinging the the ball around, I think we can do really well against Dolphins and destroy them and make them want it more in calling us daddy. Over and over again. Fuck the Finns, dude. Fuck Okay. What do the fins do to you? They can suck you, that's what they can do to me. They didn't call in daddy. Yeah. Anything else? But like maybe a score? No, I know. it's gonna be like Let's say thirty to twenty three Raiders. That's a close ass game. Someone they're gonna be calling you daddy repeatedly. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Well take this out. I gotta take for you. Malik Willis hasn't been hasn't been a starter, right? Yeah. So one would say he might even be originally. Ultimate dilemma. Right. So like this this is his time to shine, right? And usually rookies pop off, right? Malik Willow is gonna suck it in. But technically he was a cheesehead, right? Raiders have and he may be a little scared. Raiders have a rookie quarterback too, so it evens out, they cancel each other out. I get it. See I I I know I'm So now it's a blank slate. Have we got a rookie running back now too? With Gente being injured. Yeah, hopefully he heals up. That was actually good. That's actually gonna be a that's gonna be a big deal if he's if he doesn't get back to the g I I wouldn't say that JT was a difference maker yet, right? But that's a lot of hope taken out of your sales. Well but I don't think he had the rookie season he was looking for. Well how could you with a team like that at that point. But my point is like there are a lot of hopes, there are a lot of expectations with the Raiders last season and did not. Also they were giving him like ten touches a game. What the fuck are you supposed to do with some shit like that? Yeah, w that that's your boy, isn't it? Yeah. I don't know. I mean this this time around they're gonna give him like thirty touches, but when he goes when he plays when he's healthy. Well they gotta let him stand like Michael Myers. But they can't keep making changes. I mean they got a dual threat between Genty and Mike Washington Junior, so Mighty's gonna be a sneaker. He's gonna be he's gonna be sneaky dude. A sneaker or a sleeper? A sleeper sneaker? A sleeper sneaker dude. Sneaky sneaky. A sleepy sneaky. A sleepy sneaky dude dude. Sneaky sleeper. A sneaker. A sleeper. A sleeper. Sneaky sleeper. A sleeper. You guys are idiots. but the Raiders are gonna win. What i what is your take? What do got? I'll go I'll go with the Raiders. Okay. I think I think we're gonna get I don't think there's any positive. I think we're gonna go get I think we're gonna get Kirk O'Baines. Okay. I'm gonna go with the Raiders too. I I think there is I think there is genuine like revi revitalized hope with the franchise right now. I think the Raiders had a shed This isn't Max Crosby's Raiders. No. Yeah. These are church boy raiders. These are church boy raiders. Yeah. These are raiders This is like where Derek Carr was. These are Raiders with God. That's scary. In the this Damn. Crisis? And I'm sure Brock Bowers is a true boy too. And she he might even knock down this cat finish last sentence. But my bad, my bad. Raiders, Raiders, Raiders. Raiders, Raiders, Raiders. Alright. Alright. Alright. Next game. Appreciate it. Absolutely. Next game. Cardinals? Charges. Chargers. Chargers. You hate the Cardinals. I am indifferent towards the Cardinals. Or just always things that you suck. Regardless. Like they always suck. Did you disrespect Jacobin Purset? I'm not disrespecting Jacob Purset. I think I'm giving them an accurate level of respect which means that Chargers are gonna win. Cardinals? Yeah. So what do you got going for the Cardinals? Okay. Marvin Harrison Jr.? And Mike Wilson. And Mike Wilson. Okay. I think I think they have an underrated one two points. Yeah. And and I think Marvin Harrison's finally gonna be able to like have a balance back here and actually. I hope Marvin Harrison I think Jeremiah I love and Tyler Ad Algier are gonna be that complimentary back that will do pretty good. I do feel bad for protectors out Because he came in thinking he was gonna be RB one. Which to be fair, like Jeremiah Love is there of I'm taking but I mean I I I think it's gonna be in my mind if I'm Algier like I'm basically auditioning for the rest of the league. So I gotta put on. He's only different on the link you give. Yeah. I'm just going going Jim Harbaugh on this one. Going Madison Beer. Proofs. Go ahead. I I'm also gonna pick the Chargers. Surprisingly I hate but they're a better team. And they got a better O. C. as well. So and I think is it Mike McDaniels who's gonna take advantage of Justin Herbert and Use him like they should have this entire time. Jesus Christ. Take advantage and use him. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Take advantage and use him and Justin Herbert's gonna call him daddy a lot times. Repeatedly. Yeah. Okay. Thanks for that. no, I think the chargers as well. They're gonna Chargers gross Alright, so Chargers, Chargers, Cardinals? I guess so. Alright, three games to go for week one. we got a rival week actually we got a we got three rivalry games still. the next one, Commander's Eagles. I think the Eagles still. I think getting rid of AJ Brown. AJ Brown, a problem in the locker room. For for them. I don't know. I think that's gonna clear space. I think personally. And I don't even I don't and I wouldn't even call it problems, I it's more like a Jalen Hurts problem. And I like Jalen Hurts. I don't. I'm good at commanders. I you do. Yeah. I mean they're looking guy I'm still gonna go. Good looking dude. Yep. Makes a lot of money. Love his cleat game. Love his clique game. But Do you guys know that they're people are calling him Joseph? Yeah. Eagles. I like scary Terry. He's getting older now. I think But a healthy Jaden Daniels is a dangerous Jaden Daniels. I think Jaden Daniels needs to make sure his mom's like does not I almost not be involved so much wasn't going to choose him out of Brandon IUK's spite. They didn't sign him, so Valid. Put him in my books. And they gave us back Deep Bull Samuels, so Yeah. tough. They're both good. I I don't know. I I like the Eagles. I like the Eagles. I don't know if Devontae Smith is a true no a true number one person. It's gonna be it's gonna be in between him, Mikhaileman. Mackay and Dows Goddard. Down scarred it for like a receiver. you were saying those are fighting for number one options. I think Mackay Lemon Mackay Lemon did get designated to punt return to duties. no, I'm saying that that's not what you do to a wide receiver one. i so it's like you cut you're straight up the motion. That's I don't know. I mean no. They don't make justification to that. Deshaun Jackson did that. Deshaun Jackson was never wide receiver one. He was. Kind of. He was definitely wide receiver one. He had some electrifying performances, don't get me wrong. He was a great wide receiver, but as far as schematically he was never wide receiver. 'Cause I can't I mean and bro, and I I I could I could use Devin Hester as an example, but he was never wide receiver one. No. Yep. I feel like Deshaun Jackson was wide receiver one at one point. Maybe at one point. Ma maybe for the back when they were the Redskins. No kidding. But I but I get what I I I we don't think me wrong, I'm not trying to just credit the Sean Jackson. But like to your point, I I think we'll see we'll see how he responds. Yeah. Yeah. I'll still take the Eagles. I I think S Saquon Barkley is is awesome. I forgot about Saquon. Hmm. Love that man. He's a stud. Yeah man. It gave us one one of the coldest like posters ever. He would be so cool if he didn't jump to division rival. That hurts me so much. Especially with the bad blood the East has. Bro, if he went from a giant to a cowboy That'd be ugly. Could you imagine? That'd be ugly. I think I think this is an exception though. That's essentially what he did though. I think this was an exception though, because like he he was originally from Pennsylvania. But you kept he kept state. We can't be mad then. He's he's from PA. And bro he got shit. Yeah. I ca I can be. And and and they didn't and they didn't And like what were the Giants gonna even fucking they didn't take care of him. Yeah. What were the Giants ever gonna Jackson Dart? He was a rookie last year. This motherfucker. I swear to God. He's no. And so was Malik Neighbors. Malik Neighbors, Jackson Dart is Saquon Barkley. They could have gone stupid. Rookie Trinity. So a nice one two with Cam Scadimo! Just give me credit. Fucking walking C bro. Alright, solid. So, commanders. Eagles. Eagles. Solid. Speaking of. Cowboys, giants. Cowboys over it's gonna be cowboys. Cowboys giants? Yeah. Cowboys. I hate to say that. I think this might be decks here. She's on like every fucking cowboy fan. Sorry. Sorry. I I genuinely think this could be Daxier. In what sense? In the sense that he's probably potential? No. He's just Dude, he was a rookie like nine years ago. She's fucking christ. Fucking Christ, man. We still have another episode of Guts. Damn, yeah we do. Let's wrap this bitch up. Yeah. Please. So we all agree Cowboys. Okay. I like that they went in on the wide wide receiving court by keeping by paying George Pickens. Okay. With CeeDee Lamb. Right. Jake Ferguson. Ferguson. Who's are who's our back? Javante Williams. Who was doing well for them. So and and they made some pretty big moves last. Don't get me wrong. I am not a Cowboys fan. At all. I'm a Bang Bang Niner gang fan. Go research and Google Wikipedia the rivalry. There's a huge w rivalry. Huh? No, you're good. I'm just saying. I'm choosing them but I'm not a fan. I like the moves, but I'm not a fan. Alright? George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, Javante Williams, Jake Ferguson, Dak Prescott is a recipe for success. Along with the moves on defense that they made. But I'm not a fan. Don't get it twisted. I'm a podcast analyst. In the undisclosed area that may or may not be Mike Rabraj. With my friends, drinking Capil. Okay? Allegedly. Not clapple? I said clapple. Capital. Capel. It's Capital. Capital Cap. Capital and Clapple, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. So Cowboys, Cowboys, Cowboys. Yeah. Golly. And Monday night game. And for just for the record, that Cowboys Giants game is Sunday night game of the week or whatever. And then the Monday night game for week one, you got Broncos and Chiefs. I can sit over here. Broncos Chiefs. Broncos. Chiefs don't have Patrick. Justin Fields though. Patrick? He's actually questionable? Let me have this. You know Patrick Mahomes is questionable right now? Are you okay? No. Question of Butter being a Ricky. Yeah. No, fuck him. they can tie for all I care. He's gonna blow up. They can tie. They they can tie. He's keeping his composure. They can fucking tie. Patrick Mahomes is a tea is a player that elevates the team and the Chiefs are not like star stucky. Justin Fields is not gonna do the same with that roster. So therefore I go Bo Nicks. Bo Nicks with Jalen Waddle, with Courtney Sutton, with Harvey, RJ Harvey. And DK Dobbins. D yeah, it's Dobbins. Yeah. J.K. Dobbins. J. K. Dobbins, thank you. I was about to say I don't think it's DK, it's JK. So Bongo's J. I say Ty. Hey Max. I say Ty Broncos less less riot. I fucking hate you. If Justin Fields plays No they don't. If Justin Fields plays, it's time. I'm gonna go with the Chiefs. The Chiefs actually have more rings now. Just guess, why not? Because it just I respect it. you know why? I respect why he's doing so well at keeping his composure? This is our first year doing the podcast. What does that make? This makes us rookies! Fucking stupid! He's snapping. He's gonna go Super Xan too. I'm a rookie just like you You gotta give him a chance. You gotta give him a chance. Give me a chance, I'm giving you a chance. He just needs an opportunity. I'll I'm only giving the rookies a chance that I know that played well in college and can do well and then a few. First of all, I played well in college, okay? So fuck you. basketball and c I don't watch college basketball. It's okay. I love you. It's okay. It's big. So, Bronquillos tie Jeefs. Look at my nails. Not yet, dude.
