- 0:28after a two -day free trial. And wild card weekend
- 1:00is over in my case. It was a bit of a disaster
- 1:06Not great there were some some good like fun
- 1:12entertaining games, but I'm more like the most
- 1:16well, probably the second most entertaining game
- 1:18the the Panthers game I had the under but You
- 1:23know that game was awesome. So it didn't really
- 1:25matter. But anyway, I went two and five Uh, lost
- 1:28my sure fire. I think we all lost our sure fire
- 1:31pick. Um, so record week for the boys in, in
- 1:37the not good column, but, uh, we'll get into
- 1:42that here in a moment. Uh, Chris, how did, uh,
- 1:45how did you do last week? I did all right. I
- 1:48went four and two, but I just said, lost my sure
- 1:51fire. Cause the chargers are poopy. Um, but Yeah,
- 1:56as a football fan, it was awesome. Every game
- 1:58was pretty much electric aside from a couple.
- 2:02Um, it's probably the best wild card weekend
- 2:05I can remember at least in the last few years.
- 2:09So I'll take it. And I mean, four and two with
- 2:13losing a double unit isn't great, but it's still
- 2:15green. So we'll take it, um, onto the divisional
- 2:18round. Um, it's not cutting time boys. We got
- 2:20to start winning some bets, but, uh, Sean, how'd
- 2:22you do? Yeah, not a great wild card round four
- 2:27and six surefire loser I do I do kind of agree
- 2:35with like I didn't really care all that much
- 2:39because Football was so awesome. Yeah. Yeah,
- 2:43I mean like but I had the Rams Panthers under
- 2:47I didn't have a prayer but I kind of really stopped
- 2:50caring because that game rocked I think the most
- 2:55heartbreaking one was probably Bill's Jags over
- 2:59because lost by the hook. They made all that
- 3:04hoopla at the end of the first half. About if
- 3:08Trevor spiked the ball or not, and then they
- 3:11were like, oh, he gets they get one second. They're
- 3:13going to kick it. Cam Little shanks it wide right
- 3:17and is like, dude, if he just would have made
- 3:18that kick after that all that hoopla. That would
- 3:22have cash, but. How long was that kick? Do you
- 3:26remember? I don't remember off the top. I think
- 3:28it was 50. Okay. It wasn't very, it wasn't far
- 3:33for him. Yeah, that's nothing. They were talking
- 3:36about in the pregame, like he was kicking from
- 3:38the logo and making it with ease. And right when
- 3:41they said that, I was like, oh, he's going to
- 3:42do something. He's going to fuck this up. The
- 3:46broadcast jinxed it for sure. Um, but Eagles
- 3:51lost. That was great. I did have AJ TD. It just
- 3:55happened to be he just happened to suck dick
- 3:58that night like you terrible Had a Jennings TD
- 4:03didn't cash because he threw a pass I went to
- 4:10bed early last night. I think they were Texans
- 4:14were only I had Texans or had Steelers plus three
- 4:18Steelers rolling down by one when I went to have
- 4:20when I went to bed Woke up this morning 30 to
- 4:23six. I was like what the fuck happened guys like
- 4:26lose it by 24 after I go to bed. But I'm sure
- 4:31we're going to get back right on track. Back
- 4:34on the track this week. Gotta build the bankroll
- 4:37for the Super Bowl. Yes, we have to build up
- 4:41the bankroll for the Super Bowl. Moving on to
- 4:45the divisional round. There's only four games
- 4:47this week. Only two games next week And then
- 4:53one after that You know obviously anyway First
- 5:00game Saturday afternoon bills at the Broncos
- 5:02in Denver in mile -high Broncos are favored by
- 5:06a point and a half over unders 46 and a half
- 5:10I'm gonna I'll start this one off. I'm taking
- 5:15the bills. I don't The the Broncos they're very
- 5:20good team, but it's kind of been a story for
- 5:23them all season Just they tend to play with their
- 5:25food and pull it out in the last moments. So
- 5:30it's it's It feels like like when I when I just
- 5:34look at these four games and these eight teams
- 5:36I'm like I'm looking at this and I'm like this
- 5:42this this might be the Bills year like Like I
- 5:48see it But could be wrong they could lose this
- 5:53week, but I'm going with the Bills I have zero
- 5:56stats this I don't want to say this is Josh Allen's
- 6:00to lose but He is kind of like 80 % of that team
- 6:07So But it is a team game and the Bills defense
- 6:14showed up against the Jags when they needed to
- 6:16in the last moments. So, um, I'm taking, uh,
- 6:22I'm taking bills plus one and a half, um, keeping
- 6:24it safe. Uh, that's all I got. Chris, what do
- 6:29you think? I'm also taking the bills, but I'm
- 6:31taking them first half money line. Plus I believe
- 6:34it was one, I think it was even money earlier
- 6:36today. Um, kind of what you said Denver's kind
- 6:40of made a habit of playing with their food, especially
- 6:42early in games. And then Bo Nix comes. in the
- 6:46fourth quarter and scores three touchdowns and
- 6:48they win by three. That's just kind of been their
- 6:50entire year, especially against good teams. So
- 6:53I think that could happen again. Denver had the
- 6:55week off, could maybe come out a little sluggish.
- 6:58Bills know they kind of got to put points on
- 7:01the board earlier against this defense. And I
- 7:02think they can. Josh Allen has played well against
- 7:05good defenses this season. Bo Nix kind of struggled
- 7:09with turnovers this year. He's done 11 picks.
- 7:12I believe that's. in the top 10, at least for
- 7:15most of the season. I mean, one pick in the first
- 7:19half can swing it. And if he hasn't played, did
- 7:23he play in week 18? Josh? Bonix. No, he did not.
- 7:30Okay. So he hasn't played in three weeks now.
- 7:32So I can see offense being a little rusty coming
- 7:35out. So yeah, I'm gonna take Bill's start hot
- 7:37and first half money line plus a hundred. Sean,
- 7:42are we all on the bills, at least in some sort
- 7:43of fashion? Um, one sec. I'm checking if the
- 7:48next plate. I'm sorry. Yeah. I feel like you
- 7:50play. I was going to say, cause they were still,
- 7:52they had to, um, play the charge. Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:56They did. They did play it. Okay. Okay. Sorry.
- 7:59Excuse me. Um, yeah, I think we could be on fraud
- 8:04watch, uh, Broncos good team. Don't get me wrong.
- 8:09You don't get the one seed by just coasting on
- 8:12by. But they're still playing a third place schedule
- 8:17and their division was way weaker than normal.
- 8:22I know it's the NFL, it's any given Sunday, I
- 8:24get it. But I look at their schedule and it makes
- 8:29sense why they won 14 games. They have like three
- 8:34impressive wins to me. It's the Texans which
- 8:38was the last game the Texans lost. The first
- 8:42matchup with the Chiefs before my homes got hurt
- 8:46and the Packers but love through like three interceptions
- 8:50or something. They only beat the Raiders by three,
- 8:54beat the Jets by two, lost to the Jags at home
- 8:57and that was their first home loss. like since
- 9:03early last season or something crazy. I do have
- 9:08the Bills winning the Super Bowl, but so of course
- 9:11I want the Bills to win, but I really think the
- 9:15Bills can sneak this one out. I think I'm on
- 9:16the Bills money line straight up. Hell yes. Okay,
- 9:22moving on. Saturday night football, 49ers at
- 9:26the Seahawks. Seahawks coming off the bye. Seahawks
- 9:30favored by seven and a half points here. Over
- 9:33under is 44 and a half. Chris, I will let you
- 9:38take the lead. All right. I think it's going
- 9:40to be the most boring game of the weekend. I'm
- 9:42under 45. Is it 44 or 45 and a half? I have 45.
- 9:47Okay. That's what I have written down, but I
- 9:48didn't want to... I just want to make sure. Yeah.
- 9:50Under 45 and a half. Um, these two teams played
- 9:53two weeks ago and it was 13 to three. San Francisco
- 9:57couldn't do jack shit on offense. And I mean,
- 10:00really they didn't really do jack shot on offense
- 10:02a couple of days ago. Um, so I doubt they've
- 10:06magically figured it out, um, in the last two
- 10:08weeks and San Francisco defense pretty damn good.
- 10:12I mean, they held this offense to 13 points last
- 10:14week and then they held Jalen hurts the Saquon
- 10:17Barkley to six points in the second half on a
- 10:19Sunday. I know that offense can fluctuate heavily,
- 10:23but honestly, so can the Seattle offense. As
- 10:27much as I want Sam Donald to be Superbowl MVP,
- 10:30he usually pisses down his legs in big games.
- 10:34So I really hope that doesn't happen. At least
- 10:36I hope that he doesn't cost him the game, but
- 10:39I can see him a couple of turnovers. Yeah, I
- 10:42think it's going to be boring as hell under 45
- 10:44and a half. Will what you got? I agree under
- 10:49I got I saw it at 44 and a half but either way
- 10:53I'm on the under on this game I I Mean we saw
- 10:57with the Eagles and the Niners like the Niners
- 11:00can They're coached well enough to to hang around
- 11:04on defense And I mean the Seahawks defense is
- 11:08fantastic. So I don't know if Trent played in
- 11:16the Eagles game or we weren't able to watch I
- 11:21think he did at least all the I mean all the
- 11:24reports were that he was going to play yeah I
- 11:28couldn't find anything on ESPN which was wild
- 11:32but the ESPN sucks but yeah I'm I'm on the under
- 11:39I think this game's gonna stink I think with
- 11:42the Niners Obviously, George Kittle going on
- 11:45injured. That's not great for them, not great
- 11:48for their offense. They can still score because
- 11:51I mean they have Christian McCaffrey and Jawan
- 11:53Jennings and it seems like they can just kind
- 11:55of do it themselves, honestly. But. It's I think
- 12:01this is a think this is an underplay and that's
- 12:05that's basically it. Sean. What do you think?
- 12:10Yeah, so the line did move. To 44 and a half.
- 12:14I'm also on the under. I just went ahead and
- 12:17took it. Yeah, Seattle's defense is just way
- 12:21too good for this hospital squad that they've
- 12:23got. They're being forced to play. I mean, it's
- 12:27just so typical that the Niners are this banged
- 12:30up. They're the most injured team in the league.
- 12:34But besides that, this is just what Mike McDonald
- 12:37does. We've seen it all year. He can keep up
- 12:40with these Shanahan McVeigh. style systems. And
- 12:46this line did open at 46. So I would hop on this
- 12:52under like, as soon as possible, because I probably
- 12:56this probably like as low as I'd be willing to
- 12:58go as 44 and a half. But yeah, I think this this
- 13:04is an underplay for sure. So grab it as early
- 13:08as you can under 44 and a half. Good done All
- 13:16right right on Next game the Texans at the Patriots
- 13:22in Foxborough Patriots favored by three Over
- 13:27under is forty and a half the Texans and the
- 13:31Patriots really both snoozers of of games They
- 13:36played in the in the wild card round so It's
- 13:43interesting. The Texans defense showed up and
- 13:47showed out. I think, didn't they have two defensive
- 13:50touchdowns? Yeah. Pick six and scoop and score.
- 13:55Yeah. Not that the Steelers were anything to
- 14:03write home about, even though I picked them.
- 14:07So that was just... That was a dumb play by me,
- 14:10but um Lisa wasn't your surefire. Yeah, I guess
- 14:15um, I still lost though. Um But I put my back
- 14:20on that shit you did um But rewinding a little
- 14:25bit back to uh back to week 18 the the win and
- 14:28in against the uh, the ravens This kind of when
- 14:31you just look at it like for the big picture
- 14:34I don't know if the ravens would have won either
- 14:38You know, like, it was just kind of like, I think
- 14:44the Texas defense is just too good right now.
- 14:48Like, it's crazy. So kind of shocking, we saw
- 14:55both of those coaches not stick around. So that
- 15:02was interesting. Tuesday of recording so obviously
- 15:06like the the news about Mike Tomlin came out
- 15:09Stepping down Yes, yes But anyway back to this
- 15:20game Texas at Patriots Sean you should you're
- 15:24I'm giving you the lead on this one, okay I'm
- 15:28going first half under I think these two teams
- 15:34play very conservative defensive mind game, and
- 15:38I think it's going to start slow. It's probably
- 15:42going to end slow too, but I really like it for
- 15:45it to start slow. These two defense are sitting
- 15:50in the top 10 in EPA for play over the last four
- 15:53weeks. Their first half under has hit. I'm sorry,
- 15:58the Patriots first half under has hit in nine
- 16:01of the last 10 and five of the last eight for
- 16:05the Texans in which they played starters. On
- 16:09top, I don't love how Stroud and May played.
- 16:14I think they both kind of struggled last week.
- 16:18They combined for five turnovers and got sacked
- 16:21eight times. So give me the first half under
- 16:2520 and a half. Uh, Chris, what do you got? I'm
- 16:29going to keep being a hater Texans plus three.
- 16:33Houston's defense had one of the best, like single
- 16:36games in the playoffs that I can remember. I
- 16:38mean, it was like, I think I saw the stat Houston's
- 16:43first or not Houston's Pittsburgh's first drive
- 16:45was 52 yards and it ended in a field goal. Their
- 16:49longest drive after that was 38 yards. That's
- 16:53fucking insane. The only reason they got Six
- 16:56instead of three was cause Stroud through near
- 16:58reception at like their own 15 yard line. And
- 17:01that drive also, I was looking it up when eight
- 17:04plays, four yards. This defense is fucking amazing.
- 17:08It's going to be the best defense Drake may has
- 17:10ever played in his life. Um, I think they suffocate
- 17:14him. I think they get after him. Uh, CJ Stroud
- 17:16had one of the worst playoff performances I can
- 17:20remember, and they still won by 24 points. So
- 17:23if he can just be competent. They can win this
- 17:26game. So, yeah, Texans plus three. I just got
- 17:31to keep petting the Patriots. Texans plus three.
- 17:35Will, what you got? Completely fair. I'm on the
- 17:38under in this game, under 40 and a half. I think
- 17:41this game is going to stink. Like you said, Chris,
- 17:44this is going to be the best defense that C .J.
- 17:46Stroud has, I mean, that Drake May has played
- 17:50this season. Mean the Texans offenses I Don't
- 17:58want to say you can't trust it, but you can't
- 18:01trust it. So it's Guys, so I'm taking the under
- 18:05I mean under 40 and a half. I think this game
- 18:07is not going to be fun That's why they put it
- 18:10in Sunday afternoon so That's pretty much it
- 18:16it's pretty much like But Moving on to the next
- 18:23game uh the rams at the bears sunday night football
- 18:27the bears obviously uh coming back from from
- 18:32down 21 to 3 to win the game and then that game
- 18:37was like 20 20 31 to 27 yeah it was 27 to like
- 18:46six at one point i think um as well but uh the
- 18:51bears came back and they did it um Obviously
- 18:54we we all cashed on the on the Bears but It's
- 19:00it's kind of like that was a That was a great
- 19:04win. That was a great win for the Bears They
- 19:08got the demon I don't know you can't really say
- 19:10they got their demon off the bat because I beat
- 19:11him earlier this the season but the playoffs
- 19:14it it just like It matters more, you know if
- 19:19they had lost that game. It would have felt like
- 19:21the season was like all for not Yeah, you know
- 19:24just come that far make such a big stride and
- 19:27then lose to the Packers again Right, so but
- 19:31it also would have made sense. Oh Yeah, yeah,
- 19:37yeah Yeah, it's like we've seen this movie before
- 19:41but like But you're right. Like it's like What
- 19:45was this season even about if we lose this game,
- 19:49but at the same time it was like, yeah At halftime,
- 19:53at halftime I was sitting there, I was like,
- 19:54why did I think God was ever going to allow anything
- 19:56good to happen to the Bears? Like, what the hell
- 19:58am I thinking betting on this team? Right. So
- 20:04it kind of begs the question here. Can the Bears
- 20:09do it again? Can they win another football game?
- 20:14Who's to say? I don't, I don't have a pick on
- 20:17each side. Eye to their side. I have the over
- 20:20over 48 and a half I think this game if if the
- 20:24game follows the game script from but from both
- 20:26teams that we've seen from the past couple of
- 20:28weeks then this over cruises like like I you
- 20:34know piggy piggy backing off Sean last week from
- 20:36From the the Panthers game obviously we thought
- 20:40that some some some really bad weather was gonna
- 20:43come through and The game was not gonna be fun
- 20:46But that game rocked and the Panthers could have
- 20:50won that game. So it's kind of like if both of
- 20:56these teams are these teams, I think there's
- 20:58over cruises. That's pretty much all I got. Seeing
- 21:04that, you know, the Rams could come out to an
- 21:07early lead, which would be normal. And then the
- 21:10Bears come back, you know, it's just And I think
- 21:14that's a perfect recipe for the over. But that's,
- 21:18that's all I got. I'm not taking the bears on
- 21:21the spread or the money line this week, just
- 21:23because like, can it, will this stop this week?
- 21:28Will it stop, you know, here soon? We'll see.
- 21:31But that's all I got. Sean, what do you think
- 21:35about this game? Completely agree. Over 48 and
- 21:38a half. Hoping for an instant classic shootout.
- 21:43These two defenses, I feel like they've kind
- 21:45of struggled over the past few weeks. They rank
- 21:48in the bottom third in the NFL and EPA. It also
- 21:54just features the two best play callers in the
- 21:58league, Sean McVeigh and Matthew Stafford, Ben
- 22:01Johnson, Caleb Williams. I just expect these
- 22:03two to just kind of dissect each other's opposing
- 22:07defense. Just put up a ton of points, rock. But
- 22:15This doesn't go I do have a little stat this
- 22:18doesn't go directly for the over, but I think
- 22:21it's close enough Combined the Rams and the Bears
- 22:24are 26 and 10 on their team total overs this
- 22:28season Rams went over their team total last week
- 22:32on the road of 27 and a half on the the game
- 22:35winning drive And now their team total on the
- 22:38road is 8 and 2 so All these teams have to do
- 22:42is just what they've done all year is just hit
- 22:45both team totals and bada bing. We got ourselves
- 22:48a note. So it's really that simple if you think
- 22:52about it. Um, so yeah, over 48 and a half is
- 22:55my pick. Uh, Chris, do you agree or you want
- 22:59to side? No, wholeheartedly agree. Um, over 48
- 23:03and a half. I mean, y 'all took the words out
- 23:06of my mouth. Um, These two offenses are probably
- 23:09the most fun in football and they seldom play
- 23:13a normal football game. Usually some chicanery
- 23:16happens and it's a wildly entertaining fourth
- 23:19quarter. Perfect recipe for the over. Both defenses
- 23:22have struggled as of late. Chicago's 25th in
- 23:24the league against the pass. They've allowed
- 23:26300 plus last three games. So Matthew Stafford,
- 23:30MVP candidate, probably gonna sit back there
- 23:31and carve him up all night. Ram Siefins has regressed
- 23:35since earlier in the season. They've allowed
- 23:3720 plus points in seven their last or six of
- 23:40the last seven games. The only time they held
- 23:42an opponent to under 20 was when they're playing
- 23:43the Cardinals and they suck. So yeah, this game
- 23:48is going to rock. Also, I think it's a great
- 23:50live betting game because the Bears just refuse
- 23:53to die and the Rams refuse to really ever put
- 23:57teams away. So I think if Chicago's down the
- 24:02half, which probably will be because that's what
- 24:05they do. I'm just gonna lie about their money
- 24:07line. I don't care what it is. I don't care what
- 24:09the score is. So yeah, that I guess you could
- 24:12say is two for but um, yeah, over 48 and a half
- 24:16official play. Okay, there it is. All right.
- 24:22Now to everyone's favorite segment of the week.
- 24:25The surefire picks. Last week, we all lost. Not
- 24:31good. But this week we're all going to win very
- 24:36good I'm not gonna go first because I completely
- 24:40forgot about this this part of the show So I'm
- 24:43gonna let you guys go first and then uh, you
- 24:46know, we only have so many games to choose from
- 24:48here. So I'll let you guys go first Chris. What's
- 24:53your surefire pick? All right way to be on top
- 24:55of stuff will Well, hopefully don't steal one
- 24:59I guess you don't have it. So I'm going to take,
- 25:01um, 49er Seahawks under 45 and a half or 44 and
- 25:04a half. I guess it does not, it doesn't matter.
- 25:05Um, well, I guess it does America's 44 and a
- 25:08half is as low as I'll take it. So, but yeah,
- 25:10for everything we just said, also a couple of
- 25:12stats, um, the unders four and one in the last
- 25:14five games in this matchup and four and two in
- 25:17Seattle's last six home games. So a couple of
- 25:20little nuggets there. Um, these two teams are
- 25:22very familiar with each other. They know exactly
- 25:24what makes the other offense tick. Um, Also,
- 25:27George Kittle not being there is huge for an
- 25:29already depleted offense. So yeah, it's gonna
- 25:32be a rock fight under 44 and a half. Sean, what
- 25:35you got? Going back to the first game we talked
- 25:38about, Bill's money line. I mentioned how the
- 25:42Broncos could be frauds, but they are still above
- 25:45500 and Josh Allen and the Bills love to beat
- 25:49up on and cover against these teams. Last two
- 25:53seasons, the Bills are 12 and three. Against
- 25:56the spread versus teams above 500 And I think
- 26:00the bills have been able to break through these
- 26:02top -tier defenses like the Broncos have I Really
- 26:07like the bills this week. No, I love the bills
- 26:10this week double unit guaranteed not to lose
- 26:14bills money line Will have you decided I feel
- 26:18like I know what it is, but I'm gonna let you
- 26:22spit it out It's the Rams Bears over. Yes, that's
- 26:25exactly what I thought it'd be You know, I was
- 26:28what I was hoping for only really had two other
- 26:30games to choose from there Which made it really
- 26:33easy for me? but and I I don't really like the
- 26:37other game, but I Loved over I think I think
- 26:42this game is gonna be awesome. I Really don't
- 26:45have much more to add. We literally just got
- 26:48done talking about it Yeah, can Caleb Williams
- 26:54Put a whole 60 together can the Bears put a whole
- 26:5960 together. I hope not I hope they just continue
- 27:03doing what they do and being a loser be like
- 27:07all hope is gone in the first half and then they
- 27:12come back and When or at least keep it close
- 27:18Elia if it's a two -score game Going to the fourth
- 27:22quarter. I mean, that's right where they want
- 27:24to be. Yep. Right. Um, that's football. Well,
- 27:35um, I've been thinking about the, who I want
- 27:42to see in the AFC NFC championship. And I think
- 27:44it's very possible. We get division matchups.
- 27:50In the AFC NFC championship and that is going
- 27:53to be cinema like Absolute cinema like yeah,
- 28:00you can't ask for anything better than that to
- 28:02be honest Yeah, I think regardless. Oh good.
- 28:06Well, has that ever happened? I Guess I could
- 28:09have looked probably but I don't know Go ahead
- 28:13with your take Chris. I'm gonna I was gonna say
- 28:15Google this I can see, like any team in the NFC,
- 28:18I can see one in the Super Bowl. Like that's
- 28:21just how loaded it is. AFC, eh. I mean, the Texans
- 28:26do have like one of the best defenses ever. So
- 28:29they could kind of pull like a 2000 Ravens or
- 28:33whatever year the Bucks won it. I am terrified
- 28:38that the Texans are going to win the Super Bowl.
- 28:40Like I kind of think they can do it. I mean,
- 28:44I'm terrified if you can't score them more than
- 28:46six points like shit Yeah, I mean these defenses
- 28:52win These championships and they don't got the
- 28:56fucking defense to do it They just really you
- 28:58like they don't really have any sort of like
- 29:00elaborate schemes really even like I mean They
- 29:02obviously have great players, but no like other
- 29:04worldly worldly talent. They just we're in a
- 29:07lineup across from you We're gonna beat the shit
- 29:09out of you and that's fucking awesome It is awesome.
- 29:13But at the same time, it's like, Oh, I hate that.
- 29:15It's them. I don't hate it. But I just like,
- 29:18I watched them play like when they were just
- 29:21suffocating the Steelers. That's like, I mean,
- 29:23this is boring as hell. Like from like a normal
- 29:26football fan, but as like a sicko, you're like,
- 29:28this is incredible. Like the Steelers can do
- 29:30anything. Yeah. But I really, I really want to
- 29:36division. I want division rivals in the AFC NFC
- 29:41championship games. So it has happened three
- 29:45times. Okay. The 2023 season, the AFC matchup
- 29:53was the Chiefs and the Ravens. And then the NFC
- 29:56was the Niners and the Lions. Well, that's neither
- 30:01of those are divisional. Google AI lie to you.
- 30:09I think so. Um, ask it to how many Rs are in
- 30:13strawberry. Have you seen that? What? No, no.
- 30:19People are like asking AI like how many Rs are
- 30:22in strawberry. And they're like, there are two
- 30:24Rs in strawberry. I mean, there are like, there's
- 30:28like, there are three Rs in strawberry. I know,
- 30:32but I mean, if you're going to have three, you
- 30:35got to have two. Yes. But yeah, that is funny.
- 30:43But it's like, it's like rage. It's like these
- 30:46AIs are like almost rage baiting you into like
- 30:49being like how many Rs are in strawberry. It's
- 30:53really funny, but that's funny. So do we have
- 31:00an update, Will or? Yes, 1980. The AFC. AFC championship
- 31:08game was the Oakland Raiders versus the San Diego
- 31:11Chargers and the NFC was the Eagles and the Cowboys
- 31:14Okay, that's cool. Yeah, that sounds kind of
- 31:18sick. Yeah in the 80s. Yeah, that sounds kind
- 31:21of sick What there what year number that was
- 31:28that was 1980 1980 okay, yeah But like I had
- 31:35to go all the way to Reddit for that. Um, so
- 31:38it was a lot of reading. Um, so there's only
- 31:41been one other instance in which this has happened.
- 31:45I don't know the Superbowl era. I don't know
- 31:48if this is the only time, but it's the first
- 31:52one I found and the guy was like, yeah, it happened
- 31:57before in 1980. So it could have happened before
- 32:01that, but I'm going to text Mark. He'll know.
- 32:06Okay, we're getting the assist from Mark Walker
- 32:09I Feel like the I feel like the Redskins and
- 32:15Cowboys would have been in the NFC championship
- 32:18at one point too But I don't know if the AFC
- 32:22was It's tough there's that's right. That's what
- 32:29I want though. I want that real bad There have
- 32:32been plenty of times where an AFC game AFC championship
- 32:35or NFC has been an inner division inner divisional
- 32:38matchup Yeah, but I'm not sure If both if both
- 32:44yeah, yeah, I Really want that though that'd
- 32:50be awesome that'd be a pretty rare Because according
- 32:56to I did one thing I read on read it While Chris
- 33:01does this, I feel like you can relate to this
- 33:03more. I saw a TikTok today that was like, I feel
- 33:07like the Chicago Bears need to win the Super
- 33:10Bowl to reset the timeline from when the Cubs
- 33:15won the World Series in 2016 because that's when,
- 33:182016 is when literally everything went to shit.
- 33:23That's when Harambe was murdered and since then
- 33:27it's been downhill and it's just like, this girl's
- 33:31making a lot of sense right now. And I'm like,
- 33:35if that's what needs to happen to get the world
- 33:38back on track, like, all right, I'll eat my Bill's
- 33:45future for the sake of humanity, but. That'd
- 33:50be crazy. And then everything. just go back to
- 33:53normal. But doesn't that make, did what I say
- 33:56like make sense though? Like to like... No that
- 33:58makes sense. Yeah, yeah. You put Harambe in there
- 34:01so I understood. Yeah, I mean that's the, that's
- 34:05the, that's the timeline of 2016. Yes, everything
- 34:10did happen after 2016. Man, crazy times. Well
- 34:18moving on from that, Mike Tomlin stepped down
- 34:23today, which was you know, I I don't want to
- 34:29say didn't see that coming but I guess I Didn't
- 34:33see it happening that way. I guess but Have the
- 34:39Steelers ever fired a coach? I know they'll have
- 34:42only had like four and they're in their whole
- 34:47franchise history, but like Has anyone been fired?
- 34:53You know what? I could just Google this. I don't
- 34:55think so, just because everyone's been there
- 34:58for 30 years. So, and I think, I mean, you can,
- 35:04like, yes, he is technically stepping down, so
- 35:06they can keep that, like, they can still say
- 35:08that. I think this was very much like a, hey,
- 35:12man, like, it ain't working out. We'll let you
- 35:15keep your, like, I won't say keep your dignity,
- 35:17but like, we'll let you go out with a little
- 35:19bit of grace. Um, also like because he's stepping
- 35:22down, they can retain his contract. Um, Oh, I've
- 35:26heard, I heard one insider say he's going to
- 35:29do TV for a year and then they're going to trade
- 35:30them. Like pretty much where the saints did with
- 35:32Sean Payton. So it's like, I think this is very
- 35:36much like a forced step down, but it could still
- 35:40work out very well for him. I'd kind of really
- 35:43like to see him on TV. I think it'd be great.
- 35:46Yeah. He's very like well spoken and like pretty
- 35:49funny. So I think it'd be great. I think he'd
- 35:52be a really great asset for whichever network.
- 35:55Yeah. We'll hire him. Um, but staying in the
- 36:01AFC North, did you see the interview that I think
- 36:06it was the GM of the Ravens? Yeah. Dude. Like,
- 36:14it was like. If Tyler loop had made that, he
- 36:17said, like a reporter asked him, he was like,
- 36:20if Tyler loop had made that kick, would John
- 36:23Harbor still be here? He was like, for a week.
- 36:26I was like, yo, that's fucking cold. Like, yeah,
- 36:31that's ridiculous. I mean, yeah, you're probably
- 36:33right, but like, yeah, you're right. But like,
- 36:36what if he like went on and just like won the
- 36:39whole damn thing? Like, I mean, like, but that
- 36:42to me was just like, he's. He was done. So either
- 36:46way if he would have had to have made the AFC
- 36:51championship for him to have for him to keep
- 36:54his job, which I think is a little fucked but
- 36:56whatever also just thing on the Tomlin thing
- 36:59Do you view this year as a failure for that team?
- 37:10Ten and seven Ten and seven division once won
- 37:15the division and look at that team, especially
- 37:18that offense. 41 year old Aaron Rodgers. DK met
- 37:23calf who's fine. He's good sometimes. Yeah, Jalen
- 37:29Warren at running back who again like every player
- 37:31they have is at least on offense is fine. And
- 37:36every defensive player is that is really good
- 37:39is old. So it's like, what were you really going
- 37:43to do with this team? Yeah. I feel like it's
- 37:48sorry. I was going to say, I think 10 and seven,
- 37:51uh, winning the division. I mean, yes, you got
- 37:55boat race in the playoff game, which that sucks,
- 37:57but like, I would say the regular season was
- 38:02a big success for just that. Like how that team
- 38:06was assembled. I think if it wasn't for Tomlin,
- 38:09who knows what the hell that year would look
- 38:11like. Yeah. That's a good point. Um, I, I kind
- 38:15of think it's more of his playoff, um, record.
- 38:22Cause yeah, he won a super bowl. Uh, but TJ watt
- 38:26was like 15 years old. The last time they won
- 38:29a super. That was like his third year. There's
- 38:33a heck which I remember that being like a huge
- 38:36like thing like oh, it's only his house very
- 38:40early on his career Whatever year just think
- 38:42about how the success you'll have after and he's
- 38:45won like what three playoff games Yeah, it's
- 38:48like he's oh he's now oh in seven in his last
- 38:52seven playoff appearances Which is like that's
- 38:55not good. You have to if yeah Got to win one
- 38:58of those, man. Yeah. If that's why they fired
- 39:00him, which does that really? So then, or not
- 39:02fired had their whatever mutual part of ways.
- 39:06Yeah. Then that makes sense. Yeah. I, I think
- 39:11it's more in that vein than it is like the season
- 39:15as a whole, because like it's obviously not worth
- 39:20it. I don't really know if you can all chalk
- 39:25it up to like. this season in particular, because
- 39:30like you're right, like this, the, the offense
- 39:32that they put out on the field, what were they
- 39:35going to do with that? Like in the playoffs,
- 39:36like, like for real, they had like three, like
- 39:41decent tight ends and they have like two decent
- 39:44wide receivers. Like you can't, you don't win.
- 39:47I know Arthur Smith loves his tight ends. You
- 39:50don't win football games. This, this era of the
- 39:53NFL with that kind of offense and a 42 year old
- 39:55quarterback. Yeah. Um, yeah, that's, uh, there's
- 40:05a, there's a lot of franchises in the NFL that,
- 40:08I mean, if they win 10 games, they're, they might
- 40:10as well throw a parade. Yeah. Yeah. We're big
- 40:16fans of one of them. So, um, it's good. Um, good.
- 40:24Where, what do they do now? Cause a new coach.
- 40:29Yeah, but like, okay, you get a new coach. The
- 40:33team is going to be the exact same. Like you
- 40:35don't, you're not really in position to get a,
- 40:38like a, a high draft pick. So what do you like
- 40:43who's going to be your quarterback next year?
- 40:45Is it crazy to think that they get Kyler Murray?
- 40:50I mean, no, it's not about that. It's not crazy,
- 40:53but again, like I know he's younger than like
- 40:57some of the, like the other options out there,
- 41:00but unless he pans out extremely well, like it
- 41:04would have to be best case scenario for him to
- 41:06turn into your franchise quarterback. Yeah. And
- 41:09that's putting a lot of eggs in a basket that
- 41:12has had one like exceptionally good season. If
- 41:16you're doing, if you're doing like a complete,
- 41:18like, well, you're not doing a complete house
- 41:21change, but like you're getting rid of your head
- 41:23coach, like. Your QB one might retire. Um, or
- 41:30his deal is up, right? So he might not even be
- 41:33on the team. I think he only signed a one year
- 41:35deal. I thought it was, no, it was two with the
- 41:38jets. It could have been a year. I don't know.
- 41:39Even if it was, even if, even if it's two, like
- 41:42he can, no one will be like, Oh, well you shouldn't
- 41:46retire. You got to fulfill your contracts. Like,
- 41:48no, you're a hundred years old. He clearly doesn't
- 41:52look like he's having fun anymore. No, I think
- 41:56realistically, I think Aaron Rogers should go
- 41:59start some like pharmaceutical company in some
- 42:02field that he's comfortable with and selling
- 42:04like ads or something. Yeah. Like it's like,
- 42:08Hey, this, this pill will make your, your, your
- 42:11wiener bigger or something. I don't know. Like
- 42:13just something along that vein that he bullies
- 42:17like, yeah, this works. I, I, I spent, I spent
- 42:20seven days in the dark thinking about. I'm just
- 42:24kind of going in on there and rob you for it
- 42:26now. Sorry. But nothing you said is incorrect.
- 42:29It is not incorrect, but I don't think it's crazy
- 42:32to think that you could get someone a quarterback
- 42:35like Kyler Murray, who is like a completely different
- 42:39quarterback than they've had since like Roethlisberger
- 42:43and like Kenny Pickett did. Okay. Like he was
- 42:47like a pretty good, like rushing quarterback,
- 42:51but like Kyler is like a really good rushing
- 42:54quarterback. So just trying to change up that
- 42:56system that, and like get a new head coach in
- 42:59that kind of like fits Kyler's style more. I
- 43:02don't think that's crazy. And like could have
- 43:05a career resurgence in Pittsburgh if that's the
- 43:09case, but that's kind of where my brain goes.
- 43:14Like if you're doing all this, because this is
- 43:17like, This Steelers team is a team that does
- 43:22need the most like restructuring because like
- 43:26Ravens have their guy, right? Titans have their
- 43:31guy Falcons. Eh, whatever it who knows but like
- 43:35there's so many like other head coaching opportunities
- 43:38out there But yeah, I mean I think the Steelers
- 43:44could do something Kind of crazy and switch things
- 43:48up. They reunite Kyler and Kingsbury. Jesus.
- 43:56I don't know if they do that. They shouldn't,
- 43:58but I just thought that'd be kind of funny. Cause
- 44:01you said like bringing it, if they get Kyler
- 44:03bringing a guy who would like fit his system,
- 44:04I was like Kingsbury. I'm wrong. So going back,
- 44:13have the Steelers ever fired a head coach? I
- 44:15Googled it. They did. Back in 1968, they fired
- 44:23Bill Austin. But ever since then, they've only
- 44:27had Chuck Knoll, Bill Cower, and Mike Tomlin
- 44:30all left by resigning or retiring, upholding
- 44:34the team's tradition of coaching stability. That's
- 44:39another thing, too. Like, if you're the Steelers,
- 44:42you got to find the guy. Yeah. like or else like
- 44:47your whole like reputation of like job security
- 44:50is out the window. They're just one of us. Yeah,
- 44:55everyone else. That's gotta come to an end at
- 44:59some point, like. Yeah, but that's like an attractive
- 45:04feature about taking this job. Oh yeah, but it's
- 45:08also like the those three guys are incredible
- 45:11head football coaches. So it's like it's like
- 45:14yes, they did. keep them around, but like they
- 45:16also had tremendous success with these guys.
- 45:18So it's like, you have to get a good, like, you
- 45:21can't just have some bum in there and like, well,
- 45:23we're just not going to, we're going to be fine
- 45:25with eight and nine for 12 years and then let
- 45:30him, whatever. Yeah. You have to get, you have
- 45:34to get like a really good coach to keep that
- 45:36going. And that's, I mean, getting three, probably
- 45:40hall of fame coaches in a row. Would you say
- 45:43Tomlin will be a hall of fame coach? Mean I don't
- 45:47know what the season. I don't know what the threshold
- 45:49is for coaches for coaches. I don't know Super
- 45:53Bowl and the I never had it went was there for
- 45:5619 years and I mean he When you think about some
- 46:00of the Steelers teams, he's had like the amount
- 46:03of personalities he's had to manage In order
- 46:08to you know fucking get Antonio Brown and levy
- 46:11on Bell He should get a Nobel Peace Prize for
- 46:16that and juju doing his fucking dances in the
- 46:19midfield Yeah, so all those guys were on the
- 46:25team at the same time I would resign right then
- 46:31Yeah, I mean one year of those guys. I would
- 46:34hope sorry football players. I Kind of like low
- 46:37-key hate the Steelers. Oh no for like particular
- 46:40reason at all as like a fan of the Titans, but
- 46:46there's something about you sleep. If you're
- 46:49just always there, your people are going to be
- 46:51like, man, again, but like, yeah, it's all jealousy.
- 46:58Yeah. I say that and there's like, I say that
- 47:02with no ill will from like a fan, but also respect.
- 47:08Like you're always there. Like, That is respectable.
- 47:13Maybe, uh, maybe they need to be bad. You know,
- 47:19you need a gut check. Maybe they need a rebuild.
- 47:23I mean, yeah, they need to, you gotta get a top
- 47:25pick somehow. Yeah. So, um, I don't know the
- 47:31Steelers history of GMs, but, um, you know, Having
- 47:36never been bad. They've never they've been like
- 47:38I think they're the only NFL team that's never
- 47:40had a first overall pick So Which is crazy, you
- 47:48know interesting it's like every every other
- 47:52team And I think every other league has been
- 47:57really bad at one point You know You know depending
- 48:02on you know how the draft works uh, for your
- 48:05perspective sport. Um, it's like, I mean, the
- 48:08Preds have never had the first overall pick,
- 48:11but we've been bad. We are our first year. We
- 48:14had the second overall pick, which is like, Hey,
- 48:17you know, also definitely NHL. Cause I have like
- 48:20the lottery thing, but right. And I was, you
- 48:23know, that's the same with the NBA as well. Oh,
- 48:27I saw a fun fact. Just it, it kind of relates
- 48:30the, um, the Indiana Pacers are dog water this
- 48:34year. And I was listening to sports podcasts
- 48:37and they were saying, well, the guys on there
- 48:39isn't only Pacers fan, but he's from Indiana.
- 48:41So he's like, follow the team. He said the Pacers
- 48:45are the only NBA franchise to never have like
- 48:50been awarded the first overall pick, like via
- 48:54just being terrible traded for the first overall
- 48:57pick. And I've never had a former first overall
- 48:59pick play for them. Oh, So at no point in the
- 49:05Indiana page, according to this, I didn't, I
- 49:07tried to fact check it. That's kind of a hard
- 49:09thing to do. Um, like other than just people
- 49:13on like red nets and they're like, yeah, that's
- 49:14true. But, um, yeah, no NBA player who was drafted.
- 49:19Number one overall has played for the Indiana
- 49:21Pacers. I guess I could just look up every number
- 49:23one overall pick, but that sounds like a lot
- 49:25of work. Um, so yeah, I just thought that was.
- 49:32There are three NFL teams have never picked first
- 49:35overall. Oh one is the Baltimore Ravens, but
- 49:41The Cleveland Browns before they became the Baltimore
- 49:47Ravens had the first overall pick Okay, but the
- 49:52Ravens have never picked higher than fourth as
- 49:56the Ravens That's kind of nuts The other two
- 50:02teams are the Denver Broncos and the Seattle
- 50:05Seahawks. What about Elway? What pick was Elway?
- 50:12So I have no idea what Elway was, but both of
- 50:16these teams, both of those teams have had the
- 50:18two at some point. That might be it. Yeah, that
- 50:25sounds like it would be it. Who's to say? Denver
- 50:29Broncos highest pick was second overall with
- 50:33Vaughn Miller in 2011. And yeah, he was the first
- 50:38overall pick. Wait, what's he driving away away?
- 50:43I know there was that whole snafu with the Colts.
- 50:48I'm pretty sure he was. This is Google AI, so
- 50:54don't blame me. Okay. Y 'all can keep talking.
- 51:01I'm literally reading Wikipedia right now. So,
- 51:05I just had to check if the Steelers have ever
- 51:09had a first overall pick because I was like that
- 51:10sounds crazy. I knew that the Steelers had never
- 51:13done that. I knew that the Steelers never had
- 51:17the first overall pick. I thought they were the
- 51:20only one though. It says that the Steelers have
- 51:23had some kind of first overall pick whether it's
- 51:27through... a trade or something. I don't know,
- 51:30but like, that's Google AI. So it might be wrong.
- 51:35Oh, I was drafted by the Colts. Okay. So I remember
- 51:38like, obviously it was 83. So it was well before
- 51:41I was alive. So, or any of us were, but yeah,
- 51:44I remember he, it was like between him, like
- 51:47the Colts who were like at that time, like one
- 51:50of the worst rent franchises in the sport. So
- 51:53he was like, if you draft me, I'm just going
- 51:55to go play baseball. And they drafted them. And
- 51:59then they were like, okay, well, trade me to
- 52:00one of these teams or I'm going to go play baseball.
- 52:03And they traded them. Were those the Baltimore
- 52:05Colts? Yes. Okay. And then they moved to Indianapolis.
- 52:13Yeah. The seniors have selected first overall
- 52:16three times. Once in 1942, once in 1956, and
- 52:22Terry Bradshaw in 1970. That makes sense. I didn't
- 52:29know the other two guys because they're one of
- 52:31them played during World War two so Interesting
- 52:38All right, well well Sean do you have a hot dog
- 52:44update for us No No gonna start it soon. Hopefully.
- 52:51Okay. I have a sad Sure be a question for you
- 52:57guys. That's probably gonna bring the mood down.
- 52:59It'll be funny Do you guys know when the last
- 53:02time the Titans won a home playoff game? No Is
- 53:10it in the 2000s, yes, okay Was it 2009 no 2004
- 53:26Close. Three? Yes. Yeah, there we go. We beat...
- 53:35Wait a minute. No, hold on. It was a dozen two.
- 53:39It was a dozen two. Excuse me. Oh. Damn. We beat
- 53:43the Steelers in overtime. 34 -31. Then lost to
- 53:46the Raiders in the AFC Championship. Fucking
- 53:50way she goes. And then, yeah, we have a 1 -0.
- 53:53We went into the AFC Championship that year?
- 53:57Yeah, I was, cause I was talking with my buddies.
- 53:59Like we were just kind of talking about various
- 54:03like Titans playoff losses. And then it kind
- 54:05of dawns, like all of these have been on the
- 54:07road. I was like, when was the last time they
- 54:10won a home playoff game? 2002? Yeah. Jesus Christ.
- 54:1924 years. Yeah. So, yeah, that was pretty much
- 54:26my reaction. I was like, oh, that makes me sad.
- 54:30Yeah, that's gross. Yeah. Is that the worst?
- 54:37I mean, I don't know, because of the lines. Like
- 54:42currently, there's a good chance I can look that
- 54:45up. Yeah, I feel like that's probably a really
- 54:47good chance that that might be the worst. Browns.
- 54:51No, because Baker won against the Steelers. Yeah,
- 54:53Baker won against the Steelers. But that was
- 54:54in Pittsburgh. I think that was in Pittsburgh.
- 54:56Yeah, when they beat the hell out of the Steelers,
- 54:59I think that was in Pittsburgh. Brown's gonna
- 55:01beat the Browns. So yeah, which if we're saying,
- 55:05well, the Browns, that's not good. Yeah, if we're
- 55:09comparing ourselves to the Browns, yeah. What
- 55:12about the Jets? Well, yeah, the Jets haven't
- 55:15been to the playoffs. I'm like, fucking... Didn't
- 55:18they beat the Bills in like... The jets went
- 55:21to like four straight AFC champion or not for
- 55:24back to back AFC championships and with Sanchez.
- 55:29That's that was well after 2002. Yeah, there
- 55:33was something with a. Who else was on that Jets
- 55:39team? It was like some receiver tight end or
- 55:43something. I saw an interview with him recently.
- 55:48Who's talking about one of the one of the games?
- 55:51Oh, was it? Fuck was this name the guy? I think
- 55:55he was a DB. He's on ESPN now. He's kind of he's
- 55:59kind of a dumbass where he was talking about
- 56:01like the real wavis. No, they were talking to
- 56:06the white guy. They're like, no, he's he's black,
- 56:09but he was like, well, we're thinking about,
- 56:11oh, OK, then I don't know who that is. But yeah,
- 56:13they're talking. He was like, what do you think
- 56:15about go and play the Patriots? Can't wait. Can't
- 56:18wait. I forget who he was, but yeah, he's, he's
- 56:23on TV now. He's kind of an idiot. Okay. You're
- 56:29on TV. Yeah. Say anything you want on TV. You
- 56:34know, guys, um, I'm pretty disappointed that
- 56:38we didn't get nominated for podcaster of the
- 56:40year at the golden globe. Okay. New kid on the
- 56:44new kid on the. Amy Poehler. Yeah, I just had
- 56:51to throw that one. It was fun. It's all a politics
- 56:54game with the Golden Globes. Well, yeah. Actor,
- 57:00interviewing other actors. Her podcast, though,
- 57:04is kind of tight. I will say that. It's really
- 57:06fun. But yeah, we're not getting off. I didn't
- 57:12mean to get off the sports talk, but... I remember
- 57:14there's a real quick modern family quote where
- 57:17he was like, you win an Emmy, you buy a golden
- 57:20globe. Ever since that, I have no nothing about
- 57:26that, but like I see commercials with the golden
- 57:28gloves. Not even a real award. Who cares? Cam
- 57:32on Martin family said it was, it was ready. That's
- 57:38funny. I, uh, I was listening to another podcast
- 57:42and apparently you had to like fill something
- 57:44out to like, yeah, you have to do like a like
- 57:48for your consideration. Like, dang, it's the
- 57:52same like with the Oscars and any other award.
- 57:56Like, dang, can anybody just do it? Or do you
- 57:59have? Yeah, sure. All right. I think there's
- 58:04money involved because you have to give money
- 58:07to These things and that page Golden Globe, you
- 58:13know all that shit but like Hmm Yeah, next year's
- 58:19next year though we should like Let's see what
- 58:23the price is. But yeah, I was gonna say I'm gonna
- 58:24Google that real quick Throw our hat in the ring
- 58:27just for your consideration Just show up in suits
- 58:32and like hilarious And like, everybody's like,
- 58:35who are these? Who are these guys? Who are these
- 58:37guys? And then by happenstance, we get a really,
- 58:40really popular podcast. It's 250 per individual
- 58:47and 500 per production, in parentheses, film,
- 58:50TV, podcast. So it'd be $500. Oh, okay. I assumed
- 58:56it was in the thousands. So when you said 250,
- 59:00I was like, oh, we're... an optional $5 ,000
- 59:04fee for digital screening on their platform.
- 59:07I don't really know what that means, but it means
- 59:09like it's on CBS. So it means on like Paramount.
- 59:13Oh, gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah. Okay. I mean, sounds
- 59:18like you have to optionally give them $5 ,000.
- 59:21Yeah. Yeah, probably. That's the bribe. That's
- 59:26how you get nominated. We just got to hit one
- 59:30really big parlay. It's very true surefire parlay
- 59:35coming coming right up This week watch out funny
- 59:40Look out We got all the losing out of the way
- 59:45or at least hopefully I did There is one thing
- 59:52I did want to discuss real quick and It's about
- 59:57we're going back to football. It's about Eagles
- 1:00:00fans These people Man, they are the most hypocritical
- 1:00:07fans in the entire league I work with a guy That
- 1:00:13is an Eagles fan and last week we were talking
- 1:00:16The lines had like just come out and it's like
- 1:00:20the Niners were four and a half point favorites
- 1:00:22or four and a half point dogs and I was like,
- 1:00:27I don't know man. I really I really really want
- 1:00:29to take the Niners. He was like bro give me any
- 1:00:34circumstance on how like this eagle season has
- 1:00:38been and i will spin it to tell you why we're
- 1:00:41the best in the league and i was just like i
- 1:00:44was like of course and then i go in on monday
- 1:00:49and i'm like tough loss man i'll try to tell
- 1:00:53you like you know i'm just kind of shooting the
- 1:00:55shit a little bit And he was just like, I'm just
- 1:00:57so glad this miserable season is over. I mean,
- 1:01:00we've had such a miserable season. This season
- 1:01:02has been insufferable. And I was just like, mm
- 1:01:06-hmm. Yep. And in last week, we've kind of had
- 1:01:11the take where it's like, we don't know if Sirianni
- 1:01:15is a good coach or not. I told him that like
- 1:01:18in the previous before they played. And he was
- 1:01:22like, he's a great coach. What are you talking
- 1:01:24about? He's a great coach. And then I was just
- 1:01:27like, I told you last week, I don't know if Syrian
- 1:01:29is a good coach. He was like, I don't know either.
- 1:01:33And I'm just like the switch the switch up between
- 1:01:37like it's and it's every single Eagles fan to
- 1:01:41be like this united on like such an issue. It's
- 1:01:45not even really an issue but like to have the
- 1:01:49same mindset as every single fan is crazy. I
- 1:01:55mean, that's kind of like why they're simultaneously
- 1:01:59the worst and the best fans. It's like when they're
- 1:02:01losing, they are insufferable, but when they
- 1:02:04win, it's incredibly entertaining. It's you kind
- 1:02:09of, and I've seen a lot of Eagles fans too, just
- 1:02:10being like, yeah, fire Sirianni, all this shit.
- 1:02:12And it's like, I, like, I don't know if he's
- 1:02:16a very good head coach, but he's been to two
- 1:02:19super bowls and won one. So he's also doing something
- 1:02:22right. Including last year. And that's, and that's
- 1:02:28the, that's the argument. It's like, he's been
- 1:02:30to two super bowls, one one. It's like, I am
- 1:02:33like, all three of us are like, we still don't
- 1:02:36know. No clue. He's still a good kid. No clue.
- 1:02:39The losses look really bad. Yeah. The wind for
- 1:02:42the first Superbowl loss. Like, I mean, they,
- 1:02:45yeah, I mean, that was just, yeah. It's like
- 1:02:48when they're playing really well, they are like,
- 1:02:50this is the best team in football. And then when
- 1:02:53they're playing like they did this year and 23,
- 1:02:59when they were terrible, it's like, this is the
- 1:03:01worst. It was like in 23, it was like their defense
- 1:03:03was terrible. It's like, this is legitimately
- 1:03:05the worst secondary I've ever seen. And I can
- 1:03:07say this year's like, this is the worst offense
- 1:03:09I've ever seen. I just paid offense in the league
- 1:03:12too. I mean, They fired Petula, right? Yes. Yes.
- 1:03:19Okay. I mean if he, if they still suck next year,
- 1:03:24then it's going to be like, okay, is Sirianni
- 1:03:26a good coach? Because now you can say like, okay,
- 1:03:29Petula was just incompetent, which turned, it
- 1:03:32looks like that was the case. But if they still
- 1:03:35suck next year with whoever they bring in, then
- 1:03:38yeah, it could be like, okay, maybe Sirianni
- 1:03:40is not that great head coach because the Superbowl,
- 1:03:42when they had, they had Kellen Moore and he's
- 1:03:45A great offensive coach. So maybe it was all
- 1:03:47him. But at the same time, like, this is what
- 1:03:51the Eagles do. It's like they get a coach that
- 1:03:55wins, that wins a Superbowl, Doug Peterson, and
- 1:03:58then they're not as good. And then they run him
- 1:04:01out of town, which is crazy. Like you have a
- 1:04:06Superbowl winning coach. You fire him after two
- 1:04:07seasons. Like, yeah, Sirianni is going to be
- 1:04:10on the hot seat next season after winning a Superbowl
- 1:04:13two years ago. Like the Peter. I agree. I agree
- 1:04:17with you. But in just hindsight, the Peterson
- 1:04:20thing, it's like, OK, well, he sucked in Jacksonville.
- 1:04:21So it was the right call. But at the time, it
- 1:04:25was very much like, what the fuck are you guys
- 1:04:27doing? Especially for Sirianni, who I had. I
- 1:04:32like to think a lot. I watch a fair amount of
- 1:04:34football. I never heard that guy's name before
- 1:04:37my life before he got hired. Yeah, yeah. And
- 1:04:44obviously it's worked out at least. Yeah, it's,
- 1:04:46it's worked out, but depending on which Eagles
- 1:04:49fan you ask. Yeah. I mean, I'll say Doug Peterson
- 1:04:53was put in a pretty bad situation over at Jacksonville
- 1:04:58after the firing of Nick Saban and all that mess
- 1:05:02that he created over there. I know this before,
- 1:05:04sorry. Urban. Urban. Sorry. Yeah. Nick Saban.
- 1:05:09I said Nick Saban. Urban Meyer. Wrong, wrong
- 1:05:14guy. You're thinking of Predators minority owner,
- 1:05:17Nick Saban. That is who I'm thinking of. I've
- 1:05:20got Preds on the brain. Edmonton just tied it
- 1:05:24up. So, yeah, I think, but Doug Peterson was
- 1:05:30put in a really bad situation over there. And
- 1:05:36yeah, just, I just think that's kind of what
- 1:05:39they do now. It's just like, oh, If we're not
- 1:05:42winning ships, then you're out of here. And it's
- 1:05:46like, you, you, this franchise went like 50 years
- 1:05:49without winning a super bowl. And all of a sudden
- 1:05:52they're on their high horse. It's like, it's
- 1:05:55all or not. It's it's super bowl or bust. They
- 1:05:57hung on to Andy, to Andy Reed forever before,
- 1:06:01like without winning a super bowl. And they're
- 1:06:02like, yeah, fuck that. We're not doing that again.
- 1:06:04You've got four years. If we're not in one, you're
- 1:06:06gone. So I. Don't know it Eagles fans are just
- 1:06:14Their cuckoo they're they're they're they're
- 1:06:17insane. I love it either way like yeah, they're
- 1:06:21losing and just Doing what they're doing now.
- 1:06:24They're throwing kissy fits. I it's incredibly
- 1:06:26entertaining because it's like fucking you just
- 1:06:28want super Well, I don't give a shit how you
- 1:06:30feel but then it's like when they want it's like,
- 1:06:32okay this fan base is I Want to say they're tortured
- 1:06:35now, but for a very long time they were tortured.
- 1:06:38So it's like, okay. I'm glad they're having fun
- 1:06:40But now it's like, okay, you're good. Like, shut
- 1:06:43the fuck up. I think that I think the fun train
- 1:06:45has run out. Like, oh, yeah, I think they're
- 1:06:48they've they're well, they're well enough accomplished
- 1:06:51to be like, we're not a miserable franchise anymore.
- 1:06:55Yeah, like, been to three Super Bowls. And when
- 1:06:59was 10 years, 10 years? Yeah. But like, yeah,
- 1:07:05three and 10 brother, I'd kill to go to one more.
- 1:07:09I kill goat. Yeah. Since I was five years old.
- 1:07:13Like it's been way too fucking long. It'd be
- 1:07:17cool to make the playoffs. Yes. I'd be saying
- 1:07:23next year. I don't know. Is these, there's a
- 1:07:30very famous sports podcast where one of the producers
- 1:07:33is an Eagles fan. And he's like, I'd rather not
- 1:07:38be a fan of sports. He was like, you just won
- 1:07:39a Super Bowl last year. Yeah. And it's just like,
- 1:07:43that's a that's a fucking crazy take. That's
- 1:07:48crazy. That's insane to me. Yeah, it's like,
- 1:07:51yeah, the fans now that are like. Oh, my God,
- 1:07:55sorry. Tennessee is watching college basketball.
- 1:07:58Yeah, Tennessee and Texas and Amherst tied at
- 1:08:0071, nine seconds. Well. It looks like John Harbaugh
- 1:08:07is looking at some film of Kim Ward and Jackson
- 1:08:12Dart and then making a decision after that is
- 1:08:16the report that's going around. I think it's
- 1:08:2050 -50 right now. Yes. But I think ultimately
- 1:08:25he might go to the Giants. I mean, it's a bigger
- 1:08:28market. Yeah. And it's away from his brother.
- 1:08:34They'll probably be willing to spend more money,
- 1:08:39too. Yeah. Yeah, that's, yeah. Even though we
- 1:08:42have, like, a billion dollars in which... They
- 1:08:44do have a better core than us, for sure. I mean,
- 1:08:51they got Dart, Scataboo, Neighbors, that one
- 1:08:58guy on defense that's sick, Abdul. Abdul Carter.
- 1:09:03Isn't that the Eagles? No, he played, that's
- 1:09:06Jalen Carter. You're thinking of Abdul Carter
- 1:09:08was very high traffic. I don't think he did very
- 1:09:11well this year, but great potential hurt. Yeah.
- 1:09:15All their good players got hurt this year. So
- 1:09:16it's like, do you really want to come here? None
- 1:09:19of our players ever get hurt. Yeah. But, um,
- 1:09:25glad I got that right. Um, but yeah, I think
- 1:09:28he's ultimately going to go to the Giants, which
- 1:09:31sucks. I think you did just name the only good
- 1:09:35players on the Giants though. Correct. I think
- 1:09:41our offensive line is a bit more put together.
- 1:09:45And on defense, like, I mean, we have we have
- 1:09:49Jeff and, you know, sometimes Snead shows up.
- 1:09:55Oh, he's gone. Yeah, he's done. Well, hooker.
- 1:10:01I mean, we don't have to get into it, but just
- 1:10:04one of the biggest highway robberies. I also
- 1:10:07think ownership has a big part to do with it.
- 1:10:12Both are incompetent. Both are very incompetent,
- 1:10:15but one is way more incompetent than the other.
- 1:10:20I don't know about way. I would say more, yes,
- 1:10:23but I don't weigh it. I mean, we're comparing
- 1:10:25two. All right. I'll settle for more. Still makes
- 1:10:31my point. But yeah, no, I'm not you're you're
- 1:10:33right to it to a degree But yeah, I wouldn't
- 1:10:35say it's like there's still two very poorly ran
- 1:10:39franchises over the last I Don't ever made five
- 1:10:43six years. Yeah As long as we don't get mad naggy.
- 1:10:47I don't I don't fucking want that guy. I don't
- 1:10:51yeah Yeah, I don't we're gonna get him though.
- 1:10:54That's just what's gonna happen. Yes, what's
- 1:10:56gonna happen? Lose out the hardball bid and we're
- 1:11:00going to hire Matt Nagy. And then, uh, Daniel's
- 1:11:06going to go to the Ravens. Like, I was going
- 1:11:09to say, what do you think about McDaniel? Uh,
- 1:11:13he's probably, I, he's very sought after as well.
- 1:11:19I think, I think he'd be a great second choice.
- 1:11:26Yeah, I agree. Yeah, but I think that's all the
- 1:11:30time we got. Yes, but with that, we are going
