• 0:00
  laced up. Let's go! It's time for Banter with
• 0:04
  the Boys. Welcome back to Banter with the Boys.
• 0:18
  Gridiron updates. Excuse me. Yeah, Rob, why'd
• 0:22
  you hit me in the face? Oh, God. I guess. What
• 0:28
  was I talking about? What did you say? NFC South.
• 0:32
  That's it. I'm sorry. My jaw is in so much pain
• 0:35
  right now. Rob didn't actually hit me. I don't
• 0:37
  know what happened there. But anyway. Yeah, NFC
• 0:41
  South. Jake, what's up? Yo, I'm ready to talk
• 0:43
  about the South. Great. Me too. Put them on IR
• 0:48
  already. I've got to be out for a game here.
• 0:51
  Bring in the reliever. Yeah, that's it. Kev's
• 0:53
  here as well behind everything, getting it done.
• 0:56
  You know what it is. Roberto. Yo, yo, yo. Bryce
• 1:03
  Young going to lead the Panthers to win the division
• 1:05
  this year. Thought we were just saying off air
• 1:08
  there. Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying.
• 1:10
  Again? Eight and nine wins it every time. Nice.
• 1:18
  That's right. Yeah, I mean, Panthers are an up
• 1:21
  -and -coming team. Bryce has turned that corner.
• 1:25
  He looks like an NFL quarterback. It's a running
• 1:30
  back scenario. It will be interesting to see
• 1:33
  if Brooks actually can stay healthy after being
• 1:36
  injured all last year. If they can get him going
• 1:40
  with the rest of that team, I kind of like them
• 1:43
  offensively, defensively. They're decent enough
• 1:47
  in that division. I see them probably. Added
• 1:51
  a couple linebackers to that. Yeah, I see them
• 1:54
  getting in, especially that Devin Lloyd guy they
• 1:57
  picked up from Jacksonville. I like him. The
• 1:59
  Phillips. Offensive line, the Walker. They just
• 2:05
  needed a couple more pieces, I think, now that
• 2:08
  they got their quarterback rolling. I'm thinking
• 2:12
  they're going to battle for the division again.
• 2:14
  I think they're squeezing out nine, ten. Oh,
• 2:21
  ten? Get in the double digits right now? Yeah,
• 2:24
  I think they're probably my team to beat in this
• 2:27
  division currently. Well, up and coming, I could
• 2:32
  see one of those teams maybe possibly getting
• 2:36
  up to 12. I feel like they're one of those teams
• 2:39
  that can really come out this year and get maybe
• 2:43
  up to that next level, but right now I still
• 2:46
  think they're teetering on that 10 win for the
• 2:49
  division of the NFC South. The South. Yeah, no,
• 2:54
  I agree with you. I think we saw a lot of...
• 2:57
  Progress from Bryce Young this offseason, or
• 3:00
  last season, excuse me. Obviously, McMillan's
• 3:06
  a dude. Yeah, he is. Played well. Offensive rookie
• 3:11
  of the year. T -Mac, baby. God, what was that
• 3:15
  video? No, I'm going to go off topic. Never mind.
• 3:18
  Anyway. Come back to that. Yeah, I'll just come
• 3:20
  back to it. Leggett, very likable guy, of course.
• 3:26
  But, no, realistically, I really like the addition
• 3:29
  of those linebackers on the defense. To a defense
• 3:32
  that was at least, like, middle of the road,
• 3:34
  it seemed like for most of the year and was able
• 3:37
  to, you know, surprise a lot of teams out there,
• 3:40
  played a lot of games a lot closer than most
• 3:43
  people probably thought. Again, in a division
• 3:46
  that... Do we say that it's weaker or more competitive
• 3:51
  within itself? Weaker. Weaker. Both can be true.
• 3:56
  Okay, fair enough. Well, we're going to go with
• 3:58
  both then because Atlanta, whatever, I don't
• 4:02
  know. We'll get to them too. The whole thing,
• 4:04
  it's just whatever. I can't give them double
• 4:08
  digits though, and I know you were like, I don't
• 4:11
  even know if you liked it either. I think they
• 4:15
  could be right where they were, 8 -9, or they
• 4:17
  could eclipse to 9 wins. But I think it'll be
• 4:21
  a very competitive division down there in the
• 4:24
  south. Yes, very competitive. I don't feel like
• 4:29
  really the addition of Jalen Phillips or Devin
• 4:33
  Lloyd is going to have that significant of an
• 4:35
  impact. What? Tell us more. I mean, they were
• 4:38
  last in total pressures. And they were 30th in
• 4:44
  SAC, so one of the worst teams. So they made
• 4:47
  upgrades, and you don't like the upgrades. Yeah,
• 4:49
  but when you're going from, like, 30 to 28 or
• 4:54
  30. Progress. I mean, yeah, ups is ups, I guess.
• 5:00
  Buzz Lightyear. To infinity and beyond. It doesn't
• 5:07
  feel like a lot of improvement. They didn't do
• 5:10
  enough, you're saying? Yeah, I think that they're
• 5:11
  going to end up staying at eight and nine. I
• 5:15
  love Totoro McMillan. He's going to be amazing
• 5:20
  for years to come. But, like, I don't... Leguette
• 5:25
  kind of, like, disappeared last year. Where did
• 5:28
  he go? Can he come back? Like, you need weapons,
• 5:33
  and I don't think they have them. Or I don't
• 5:37
  think they have enough of them. And that concerns
• 5:40
  me because I think other teams in the division
• 5:43
  have more and or better weapons. Yeah, Brooks
• 5:49
  is kind of that, I think he's going to have a
• 5:52
  nice year. That's what I'm leaning on that as
• 5:55
  being that weapon that you feel like they're
• 5:57
  missing. I hope we can actually see him. We've
• 6:00
  been waiting for him to see healthy enough because
• 6:04
  he was something else when he was healthy. What
• 6:06
  was it, Texas? Yes, sir. Just disgusting. So
• 6:09
  it would be nice to see what a healthy Brooks
• 6:12
  looks like. But right now, they've still got
• 6:15
  Hubbard over them currently. You're banking on
• 6:20
  it? Hey, I like Hubbard, too. Hubbard's a nice
• 6:23
  little back. Sure. Guy runs hard. So where'd
• 6:27
  you go with them? I said eight wins. Nine wins.
• 6:33
  Top. Ceiling's nine. Ceiling's nine. Which is
• 6:37
  right where they were last year. Yeah, buddy.
• 6:40
  The Falcons. They feel in a weird spot right
• 6:45
  now. Very weird. And because of that, like, I
• 6:49
  think they're going to regress hard. Like, they
• 6:51
  could fall to, like, six wins randomly. I think
• 6:53
  they still have, like, on paper, they have a,
• 6:56
  you know, middle -of -the -road team. But, like,
• 7:01
  there's a couple guys on there I like. Like,
• 7:03
  of course, I like Bates back there. Z'Darrius
• 7:06
  Smith I don't think adds a ton. But maybe now
• 7:09
  he's... unfortunately playing with a super heavy
• 7:11
  heart this season so maybe he goes off and has
• 7:15
  himself a career year offensively you know there's
• 7:18
  some weapons there but I think they fall to like
• 7:21
  six wins and I think it's because there's just
• 7:23
  so much I mean we don't even know who's starting
• 7:27
  at quarterback on week one that is true we have
• 7:29
  no idea we looked it up Today, before we even
• 7:33
  were doing this, before we even started recording,
• 7:35
  I guess we didn't look it up right now. Just
• 7:37
  in case there's been no flash news. Let's see.
• 7:41
  Let's see. In the Falcons quarterback community.
• 7:44
  Yeah, right, right. Because we're such big. No,
• 7:47
  still nothing. So they regressed. He's going
• 7:50
  to wait as long as possible. But, no, I just
• 7:52
  feel like it's weird that you're waiting this
• 7:53
  long. I'd give it to Penix personally, and I'd
• 7:57
  feel a little bit better. You don't think he's
• 8:00
  going to let it out? Penix? Yeah. I think they're
• 8:02
  going to give it to Tua for some reason. That's
• 8:04
  what my gut's telling me. I'd like Penix to win
• 8:07
  it out, and that's who I would give it to. He
• 8:10
  just needs more time to develop in there, and
• 8:12
  you already got him in last year after Paul and
• 8:14
  Kirk, so you might as well just... Put him back
• 8:17
  in this year, you know. Oh, but he's recovering
• 8:20
  from that injury again. Penix? Yeah. Right. So
• 8:23
  it's just like, to me, it makes sense. That's
• 8:25
  probably why they're waiting, right? To me, it
• 8:27
  makes sense that it would just be Tua at this
• 8:30
  point and then try to, like, figure out a time
• 8:34
  to put him in. Yeah, figure out a time to put
• 8:37
  him in or even let him learn because, I mean,
• 8:39
  it's. Atlanta is one of those teams with a new
• 8:42
  head coach. It's Kevin Stefanski, offensive mind.
• 8:45
  Like. Decent running back duo. Yeah, decent running
• 8:48
  back duo. I think Stefanski is going to do a
• 8:51
  lot better at utilizing Bijan Robinson than the
• 8:54
  predecessors. Maybe a little more Pitts, too.
• 9:00
  Maybe a little bit more Pitts because he's a
• 9:02
  pretty solid and athletic tight end. But I'd
• 9:08
  like to see. I'd like to see another wide receiver
• 9:11
  across from Drake London. Yeah, losing Mooney.
• 9:15
  Yeah. And I don't think the signing of Jahan.
• 9:19
  Jahan Dotson's not enough. Yeah, I don't think
• 9:20
  it's Jahan Dotson because we've seen him kind
• 9:24
  of travel across the globe at this point for
• 9:27
  his career that he's not a one or a two that's
• 9:32
  going to be able to be that dynamic piece opposite
• 9:36
  of Drake. I think they're going to be interesting
• 9:41
  offensively. To your point, I don't think there's
• 9:45
  much changing defensively. They may probably
• 9:47
  take a couple of steps back in the win total.
• 9:52
  I wouldn't be surprised if it's six, but I could
• 9:55
  still see them, like, coming out at eight, and
• 9:57
  so, like, eight and nine again. Yeah, I'm kind
• 10:01
  of on the same boat with all you guys where the
• 10:03
  Falcons are, just not knowing where the quarterback
• 10:06
  scenario. They do have so many weapons on offense.
• 10:09
  That defense, they're mid of the road in general.
• 10:14
  They don't do a ton to get. A lot better. Yeah,
• 10:19
  not enough to where I'm going to be like, you
• 10:21
  know, that they can, you know, hold the quarterback
• 10:24
  still in the game if the quarterback's struggling.
• 10:28
  Yeah, they're seven wins, somewhere in there.
• 10:32
  I could see them going down to five. They have
• 10:35
  enough offensive talent to get the eight to nine,
• 10:37
  but that's if everything's clicking on the offensive
• 10:39
  side. But I'm going to settle in the middle at
• 10:41
  about seven. How many points a game do you think
• 10:43
  that offense has to score to kind of? I mean,
• 10:46
  25 to 28. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. I mean, but
• 10:53
  B. John Robinson, if you can get him cooking,
• 10:55
  you know, he's a game changer by himself. For
• 11:00
  sure he is. He almost single -handedly beat the
• 11:04
  crap out of the Vikings, too, I'm pretty sure.
• 11:06
  The most NFL teams. And so the new coach changed,
• 11:12
  you know, a little more offense -oriented, which,
• 11:14
  you know, it's kind of gone away from where they,
• 11:17
  I don't know, I feel like that offense has been.
• 11:19
  Like, they've had a lot of skilled players there
• 11:22
  in the last few years, but none of them really
• 11:23
  have. I guess they're almost like that Philadelphia
• 11:27
  Eagles feeling, you know, like they should score
• 11:29
  more, you know. Yeah. But they're not winning.
• 11:32
  Right. Yeah. We would questions like, hey, why
• 11:34
  are you not continuing to hand the ball off to
• 11:36
  Bijan? Yeah, exactly. Like he should be touching
• 11:39
  the ball 25 to 30 times. And you're maybe getting
• 11:42
  15 out of them. You're just like, give him the
• 11:45
  ball more. Yeah. So, yeah, he disappeared. That's
• 11:48
  why I'm hoping Kevin, you know, stays locked
• 11:51
  in on that scenario. Yeah, they're a really interesting
• 11:54
  team, you know, but I don't think there's enough
• 11:58
  on the defense to make a big run in this division,
• 12:01
  at least. Right on. Sounds good. Okay. Okay.
• 12:06
  Yeah, let's move on. All right. Moving on. Going
• 12:09
  to Houdat Nation. Houdat. Who? New Orleans Saints,
• 12:14
  6 -11 last year. Surprisingly. I think we said
• 12:20
  they were the worst team last year in the NFL,
• 12:23
  didn't we? We might have. Preseason. We might
• 12:26
  have. Maybe. We were not very high on them, that's
• 12:28
  for sure. For sure. We probably picked them to
• 12:30
  finish last in the division, which they did.
• 12:33
  So we were right. There we go. We got one right.
• 12:36
  Finally. Look at that. Still listening? Anyway.
• 12:41
  So Tyler shucks the guy, apparently. Love it.
• 12:45
  Oh, you love it. Yeah. You love it. What do you
• 12:48
  love about Shuck? He was just balling out. Last
• 12:54
  year, I drafted him in my fantasy football dynasty
• 12:59
  league, and I unfortunately had to cut him because
• 13:04
  the program's slowness to update quarterback
• 13:10
  injuries, so I had to cut a player. Because I
• 13:14
  was over my quarterback limit, and I was needed
• 13:17
  to get, I think it was at a point where Lamar,
• 13:20
  I was waiting for Lamar to be officially ruled
• 13:22
  out so I could put him back on IR kind of thing.
• 13:26
  So I ended up cutting him, and then somebody
• 13:29
  else picked him up, and I'm just, like, bummed
• 13:31
  that I didn't get to keep him. And then he started
• 13:34
  playing the back half of the season. He was playing
• 13:36
  lights out. Like, he gave that team a different
• 13:40
  set of energy. I'm really looking forward to
• 13:45
  seeing what he can do with a full year with Kellen
• 13:47
  Moore. I think that offense is going to be lit.
• 13:50
  You've got Travis Etienne now. Yeah, buddy. He's
• 13:54
  pretty much Alvin Kamara 2 .0. And I think that
• 13:58
  that's really good for them to be able to have,
• 14:01
  like, all right, we've got two running backs
• 14:04
  that function pretty much the same way. Like
• 14:06
  Pacheco and Gibbs? Yeah. So it's like if one
• 14:10
  gets injured, you can slot the other one in real
• 14:12
  quick, and you're not really having to change
• 14:14
  the playbook or be like, all right, we have to
• 14:16
  use a certain subset of plays or a different
• 14:19
  set of plays in order to accommodate this. He's
• 14:22
  just like, all right, these are running backs.
• 14:25
  Playbook's open. Let's go. So I really love that.
• 14:29
  Wide receiver depth is a little concerning. I
• 14:32
  mean, Olave's still good. If he can continue
• 14:35
  to be healthy, he's going to play great. I just
• 14:38
  kind of Jordan Tyson's going to be out for what
• 14:43
  they're saying four to eight weeks right now
• 14:44
  with his hamstring injury. Yeah, that's that's
• 14:47
  brutal for their first round pick. But I think
• 14:51
  he has the potential to. to take away some of
• 14:54
  that heat for a lobby once he's back. So I really
• 14:57
  like, I really like it. They lost a couple of
• 15:00
  pieces on defense, but I don't think it's the
• 15:02
  end of the world for them. Uh, this is what DeMario
• 15:05
  Davis, a Lodi Taylor. Um, they're not going to
• 15:08
  miss Taysom Hill either. Um, cause not really.
• 15:12
  I mean, yeah. So it was just like, I really like
• 15:17
  him. I think, I think, I think saints are probably
• 15:22
  going to be, Maybe that sneaky team that actually
• 15:25
  has the big swing. Playoff swing? Maybe. I could
• 15:31
  see them being 10 wins. I could win the division.
• 15:35
  That'd be playoffs. I could see 10 and 7 in their
• 15:39
  future. This season? Yeah. I like it. I'm big
• 15:44
  on the Saints, too. I think they kind of hit
• 15:48
  on the QB, and he seems like he could be the
• 15:52
  guy in the NFL. They're young. I don't think
• 15:55
  they're there yet. I still think next year when
• 15:58
  we have this conversation, we might be having
• 16:01
  definitely 10 and 7. They might get up to 8,
• 16:06
  like 9. The ceiling is where you're talking at,
• 16:10
  10. I'm liking the Saints. They're young. I really
• 16:14
  like Lobby. Tyson getting hurt really sucks to
• 16:19
  start the season off because I thought he had
• 16:21
  been a really nice duel with Olave. But they're
• 16:25
  looking up and up right now. I don't think they
• 16:27
  have enough to win the division yet, but they're
• 16:30
  close. And I expect big things out of Olave,
• 16:33
  draft him in fantasy. I'm kind of watching their
• 16:36
  O -line, I guess, because their O -line was kind
• 16:38
  of struggling for some years. But then they kind
• 16:40
  of tried to fix it with that Calvin Banks and
• 16:42
  I can't even remember how to say the right tackle,
• 16:45
  Fuaga, I think. Yep, yep. So I kind of want to
• 16:48
  make sure they're still developing well. I'd
• 16:50
  like to see Tyler Shuck in a full season before
• 16:53
  I'm, like, feeling 100 % confident with him.
• 16:58
  The defensive secondary concerns me. They played
• 17:02
  well last year, but I don't think they're going
• 17:05
  to play that well two years in a row. I think
• 17:08
  it's kind of more like a fluke maybe. I'm not
• 17:10
  trying to downplay it. Well, Kool -Aid McKinstry
• 17:13
  has been solid for a number of years going back
• 17:16
  into college. Jonas Sanker. Okay. And then what's
• 17:23
  the other corner right here? Quincy Riley, who's
• 17:25
  out right now. Sorry to sidetrack. No, it's all
• 17:29
  good. I thought they had someone else other than
• 17:31
  Kool -Aid back there. Did you recognize the other
• 17:35
  two? No, no. Yeah, so I don't know. I'm a little
• 17:37
  concerned about their secondary. I'll give them
• 17:45
  another one, seven. Seven winner. Okay. I don't
• 17:48
  think they're even getting close to ten. Okay.
• 17:50
  I think the division's just too tough right now,
• 17:52
  and I think it's going to be, again, curious
• 17:55
  to see what Shuck does. In a full season. Big,
• 18:00
  big thanks. To your second favorite team. Mine?
• 18:07
  Yeah. What do you mean? The next team we're going
• 18:10
  to talk about. The Buccaneers? Yeah. Why are
• 18:12
  they my second favorite? I don't know. I talked
• 18:15
  about them a lot last year. I don't know if he's
• 18:16
  your man crush on Baker Mayfield. I do not have
• 18:19
  a man crush on Baker. I mean, he was sending
• 18:22
  me text messages earlier, like, Baker to the
• 18:24
  Vikings. Yeah. Baker 27. You know what I mean?
• 18:27
  That sounds like a man crush to me, doesn't it?
• 18:29
  No. No, I'm just saying. Could be a possibility.
• 18:32
  Hey, I have a man crush on Baker. I'd love to
• 18:34
  have a couple beers with that dude. I bet he
• 18:37
  would be fun to have a couple beers with, to
• 18:38
  be honest. No Mike Evans. He gone. I think they're
• 18:45
  going to be okay without Evans. I mean, Evans
• 18:48
  is super dynamic, but we saw Mecca Mbuka do great
• 18:52
  things in his absence. I think that we're going
• 18:57
  to see more great from Mbuka over the course
• 19:01
  of this year. So I don't think that that's as
• 19:03
  big of a loss as I think a lot of people might
• 19:08
  think. I mean, he was getting up there in age.
• 19:11
  Where did he end up again? San Francisco. Oh,
• 19:14
  yeah, San Francisco. We get to talk about him
• 19:16
  in the next episode. The next episode. In the
• 19:19
  next episode, yeah. What we saw last year with
• 19:24
  the Buccaneers was just the rash of injuries
• 19:26
  across their skilled players. You're like, all
• 19:29
  right, we have Mike Evans, and he's gone for
• 19:30
  a bit. You've got Ed Goodwin, and he's gone for
• 19:33
  a bit. Baker played banged up, but he's a warrior.
• 19:40
  Vita Vea was out for a bit. And now he, I mean,
• 19:44
  had contract issues this year. It's sort of resolved.
• 19:48
  We'll see how that ultimately plays out, I think,
• 19:51
  depending on how their record. goes, maybe he
• 19:53
  ends up getting traded this year on that one
• 19:57
  -year deal. But similar situation, again, probably
• 20:04
  still maybe eight and nine, maybe one win more,
• 20:10
  maybe two. Hard to say because they're bringing
• 20:13
  in Anzalone, and again, he's going to be an engine
• 20:16
  for that defense, and I really like that. Maybe
• 20:22
  one or two wins more this year, but not really
• 20:25
  a whole lot. So challenging for the division.
• 20:28
  Yeah, with the Saints. All right, Coach, let's
• 20:31
  hear it. With the Saints. Let's hear it, Coach.
• 20:34
  Let's hear the love. No, I'm actually not giving
• 20:38
  them any love. What? I think they lose. Morris
• 20:43
  Court, here we come. Yeah, I think so. Again,
• 20:45
  Baker 27, Skoll. That's why. I think they take
• 20:49
  a step back. He's wishing for it. It could be
• 20:53
  six or seven wins even type of step back. And
• 20:58
  it just feels like a lot of bad energy right
• 21:01
  now around them. Because, you know, don't get
• 21:04
  me wrong, I don't think Baker would allow it
• 21:06
  to affect his play, but having the leader of
• 21:08
  your offense come out and say that, like, well,
• 21:11
  I had my own timetable and they didn't meet it,
• 21:14
  so, you know, it is what it is. So, like, how
• 21:16
  much is he really looking into this season? You'd
• 21:19
  think a lot because you still need to perform
• 21:21
  to get a good contract, right? But it just feels
• 21:25
  really weird, to be honest with you. But they
• 21:30
  have... I do like, again, I've kind of been looking
• 21:34
  at the O -lines a lot more this year than I have
• 21:36
  in years past. And I do like theirs. They have
• 21:38
  a pretty solid O -line. And Bucky Irving and
• 21:42
  Kenny Gainwell, they can give you enough to open
• 21:46
  up the pass game. But I'm just not in love with
• 21:50
  them. this year. I just feel like the Momo is
• 21:53
  off in Tampa. It's weird for you to say this
• 21:56
  information about your favorite Buccaneers. As
• 21:59
  long as I've been on this show, I think you've
• 22:01
  picked them to win the division every year is
• 22:03
  what I'm getting at. Which is rightfully they've
• 22:06
  been competing. I'm feeling your vibe right now.
• 22:09
  I'm a 6 -7. I don't want my quarterback with
• 22:11
  negative vibes. He stole my notes. It's that.
• 22:16
  I think there's a massive culture switch. which,
• 22:19
  you know, Evans leaving, which he was a huge
• 22:22
  leader. David, the linebacker, retirement. You
• 22:27
  know, he was the big leader in there. So you
• 22:29
  got kind of a whole, it's not the same Buccaneers
• 22:32
  as the Super Bowl champions that, you know, they've
• 22:34
  been lingering around for these years since Brady
• 22:37
  left. It's kind of a different team. And it'll
• 22:40
  be interesting to see. I love Mbuka. I think
• 22:43
  he's going to be a one. I don't know where Chris
• 22:46
  Godwin's going to be. Where is he still going
• 22:48
  to be? He's starting to age a little bit now
• 22:51
  and many injuries. I love Bucky Irvin. I think
• 22:58
  he's probably one of the best, but his health
• 23:00
  is consistent. Bucky Irvin? Yeah, just as Bucky.
• 23:04
  Oh, nice. So I'm with you. I think they're in
• 23:08
  a regress a little bit this year. I think they're
• 23:12
  probably about a seven. It'll be interesting
• 23:15
  how Baker plays out, especially if they start
• 23:17
  struggling at the beginning. Because I mean,
• 23:22
  watching quarterback Baker plays through injuries
• 23:24
  like no other. I mean, he probably shouldn't
• 23:26
  play through a lot of them. But is there going
• 23:28
  to be a scenario now that he shouldn't play through?
• 23:30
  I mean, he's going to be like, I am not going
• 23:32
  to play through it. Typically, he'd just grind
• 23:35
  it out because he's a dog. Dog. I don't know.
• 23:39
  And then he gets released, and he is a Viking
• 23:41
  in 2027. Oh, there it is. It's a full circle.
• 23:44
  Sold him on the idea. Sold him on the idea. Okay,
• 23:49
  so who did you say wins the division then? Panthers?
• 23:51
  Or no, you're Saints. No, I said Panthers. Panthers.
• 23:55
  Oh, yeah, Panthers. Okay, so we got two Panthers,
• 23:57
  one Saints. Okay, some discrepancy in this one.
• 24:00
  It's not bad. Well, did we touch them all? Yeah.
• 24:04
  Touch them all. Touch them all. Kirby Puckett.
• 24:07
  See, for me, it was Joe Maurer and Justin Morneau.
• 24:10
  Touch them all, Kirby Puckett. That's the World
• 24:13
  Series. Well, I know. Right. Were you even alive
• 24:16
  then? No, of course not. I'm saying growing up,
• 24:19
  though, it was Joe Maurer and Morneau for me.
• 24:22
  The M &M boys. That's right. That's right. We're
• 24:25
  talking about football. Football. Football. Jake,
• 24:29
  thanks for being here. Thanks for having me.
• 24:31
  You're going to be here for one more? I think
• 24:32
  so. Got one more. Yeah, I do. Yeah, I do. All
• 24:37
  right, Kev, you're making it. Kev's making it.
• 24:39
  Yeah, I think he's starting to nod off there.
• 24:41
  He's starting to make some chicken wings, though,
• 24:42
  because I requested that. Yes, I like it. Rob.
• 24:46
  Roberto. Coach, yes. Forgot your name. I'm excited
• 24:49
