0:19
Speaker 1: We have a guest that intimidates a lot of people,
0:22
Speaker 1: but not us. Nope, former NFL linebacker Shawn Merriman. We're
0:27
Speaker 1: going to give it to him. But you know, before
0:29
Speaker 1: we get into that, Tony, let me tell you about
0:32
Speaker 1: someone came up to me and said something. Let's just
0:34
Speaker 1: I don't want to use his name, but let's just
0:35
Speaker 1: call him dumbhass Uh. He comes up and he goes, hey,
0:39
Speaker 1: why you're not getting people to rate and review your
0:41
Speaker 1: show for you know ourpples exactly what I said. I said,
0:44
Speaker 1: for what? Why do I need people to review the show?
0:47
Speaker 1: I know how good the show is. You know you listening?
0:49
Speaker 1: You know, does Michael Jordan's need people to come up
0:52
Speaker 1: to him and tell him he's the best? No, he's
0:54
Speaker 1: just the best. Yeah, well you need to give Michael
0:57
Speaker 1: Jordan's five stars? Is that how it works? Exactly? So
1:01
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to waste your time doing that,
1:02
Speaker 1: go ahead, you can tell us what we already know
1:04
Speaker 1: exactly anyway back Seawan Merriman. Yeah, we're gonna have him
1:08
Speaker 1: on and you know he's gonna settle one of the
1:10
Speaker 1: biggest debates in sports. This is one that we have
1:13
Speaker 1: had people, you know, going back and forth for years.
1:16
Speaker 1: We're finally going to get the answer from him. But
1:19
Speaker 1: before we do that, you know, Tony talking about feedback.
1:21
Speaker 1: We got some tremendous feedback on a new seuge. You know,
1:25
Speaker 1: people are really upsetting the business that they didn't think
1:27
Speaker 1: of this first, but we did. And now it's our
1:29
Speaker 1: segment where we wrap up all the stories in sports
1:32
Speaker 1: and give you our opinion on it. It's a segment
1:34
Speaker 1: we call good or Not Good, Good or not Good?
1:39
Speaker 1: Tony Eagles winning another big one against the Giants, putting
1:43
Speaker 1: that lockdown on first place in the division. Good or
1:46
Speaker 1: not good? This is good. This was a huge statement
1:51
Speaker 1: win for the Eagles. You know a lot of people
1:54
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, it's not a big win because the
1:56
Speaker 1: Giants suck. Wrong, the Giants be Washington, Washington beat the Cowboys.
2:03
Speaker 1: So we basically went three and oh and one day.
2:07
Speaker 1: Please PAULI explain to these people. People say, no, the
2:10
Speaker 1: NFC East is not competitive. What the funk are you
2:12
Speaker 1: talking about? It's neck and neck. Look at it. All
2:15
Speaker 1: these teams are basically within a half game of each other.
2:17
Speaker 1: That's that's as competitive as they get. It's called competition, people,
2:21
Speaker 1: Ye look it up and the dictionary all right. Up next,
2:26
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is signing a one year deal with the
2:30
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. PAULI, is this good or not good? Oh?
2:35
Speaker 1: Clearly this is good, you know, good for Tom Brady here,
2:38
Speaker 1: because you know, the first step of having a problem
2:41
Speaker 1: is admitting that you have a problem. And here he is.
2:43
Speaker 1: He's admitting that he's a shitty quarterback who doesn't know
2:46
Speaker 1: how to throw a ball. He needs help catching his
2:48
Speaker 1: bad passes, and we already know he needs help counting
2:51
Speaker 1: those downs. So here he is. He's begging Antonio Brown
2:54
Speaker 1: in front of everybody, saying, please come help me because
2:57
Speaker 1: I'm for ship. And I think that's good for to Brady.
3:00
Speaker 1: I think it shows real leadership, you know, to admit
3:03
Speaker 1: your faults so openly like that. Yeah, and this is
3:06
Speaker 1: also good because Antonio Brown is gonna ruin Tom Brady.
3:10
Speaker 1: Don't forget Antonio Brown went to the Patriots for one
3:14
Speaker 1: week and what happened to the Patriots. They ended up
3:18
Speaker 1: losing to the Titans in the first round. They didn't
3:21
Speaker 1: lose because Derrick Henry ran all over them. They lost
3:24
Speaker 1: because the locker room was ruined from Antonio Brown's TikTok videos.
3:30
Speaker 1: And it's gonna happen again. You know. It's that instability.
3:33
Speaker 1: It's that you know, Tom Brady was probably you know,
3:35
Speaker 1: getting sacked because he's looking around the field going, wait,
3:38
Speaker 1: where is Antonio Brown? I thought he was on my dame.
3:40
Speaker 1: Now he's gone. I can't keep up? Ye, not right
3:44
Speaker 1: on the subject of the Titans. The Titans lost their
3:46
Speaker 1: first game of the season, got beat by the Steelers.
3:49
Speaker 1: Good or not good? This is good. You know. The
3:53
Speaker 1: Titans kept getting COVID just so they could get extra
3:56
Speaker 1: weeks to prepare, and as we saw, when you don't
4:00
Speaker 1: get six weeks to prepare for one game, they suck. Paully,
4:05
Speaker 1: you have a good analogy that kind of explains how
4:07
Speaker 1: this works. You know, this is like Dayton people. You know,
4:11
Speaker 1: when you call up a girl. A lot of these
4:13
Speaker 1: guys like to do this. They call up a girl
4:15
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, are you free on the next Tuesday?
4:18
Speaker 1: And you know, eight pm. I want to see you.
4:20
Speaker 1: Then no, don't. Then they're gonna get all gussied up.
4:24
Speaker 1: They're gonna have time to prepare. Let me tell you
4:27
Speaker 1: what I do. I like the call girls up, you
4:28
Speaker 1: know midnight when they am and say hey, I'm standing
4:31
Speaker 1: outside in your lobby. Come down. Then you get the
4:34
Speaker 1: real person. You know, she doesn't have time to get
4:37
Speaker 1: all gussied up. She comes down without makeup on, and
4:40
Speaker 1: you go, oh, this is who you really are. And
4:43
Speaker 1: that's the Titans. People moving along. The Dallas Cowboys lost
4:47
Speaker 1: another quarterback in the Red Rifle, Andy Dalton, and now
4:52
Speaker 1: they're going with rookie bend Nucci Paully. Is this good
4:58
Speaker 1: or not good? Gotta tell your Tony this is not
5:00
Speaker 1: good because you know we've done some research here around
5:04
Speaker 1: the news. It's pretty solid quarterback. And you know, when
5:08
Speaker 1: you look at Cowboys history, who is the best fitic
5:11
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Cowboys? When you look at it, when
5:14
Speaker 1: you look at Romo and the Newts together, the Neucci Italian,
5:18
Speaker 1: Romo Italian, you gotta see that's a good fit for
5:22
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And I'm starting to world, what are you
5:25
Speaker 1: talking about? No, who's this what Jay, We've told you
5:28
Speaker 1: don't show flow. Tony almost a of Italian. He's Mexican.
5:33
Speaker 1: His full name is Antonio Ramio Romo. Uh, Tony, lets
5:39
Speaker 1: us move along here. Yeah, alright, that Odell Beckham goes
5:42
Speaker 1: down on the opening drive for the Browns, now he's
5:44
Speaker 1: out for the season. Good and not good. This is
5:48
Speaker 1: not good. You know, it's really just a shitty situation,
5:51
Speaker 1: you know, just all around, just really really shitty. You know.
5:55
Speaker 1: The first thing I thought when I saw it was,
5:57
Speaker 1: oh shit, you know you're right, don't. It really is
6:00
Speaker 1: a bad situation, I mean situation and uh, you know,
6:04
Speaker 1: I really think it's gonna be bad here for the Browns.
6:06
Speaker 1: The ship is really going to hit the fan. And
6:08
Speaker 1: you know their chest also, and you know from what
6:11
Speaker 1: all sources told us, Tony, what they say. Odell Beckham
6:14
Speaker 1: was steaming, steaming in the locker room. You know, he
6:17
Speaker 1: had a lot to get off his chest, and you
6:20
Speaker 1: know he was feeling shitty about the whole thing. But
6:23
Speaker 1: he said, we do wish him a shitty I mean
6:25
Speaker 1: a speedy recovery. We wanna we wanna win show Dell
6:28
Speaker 1: a very speedy recovery. You know, get well, soon get well.
6:32

Speaker 1: His name is, Doe Alabama. He's getting the start over
6:53
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick for the Dolphins, Tony good or not good?
6:57
Speaker 1: This is not good? You know, people say Fitzpatrick's bad
7:02
Speaker 1: since he starts for all these different teams. No, that
7:06
Speaker 1: means he's good because everywhere he goes, he wins the
7:10
Speaker 1: starting job. Paulie tell these people, yeah, you know who?
7:14
Speaker 1: You know who he reminds me of. He reminds me
7:16
Speaker 1: of that guy, Jude Law. He's the starting actor in
7:19
Speaker 1: every movie. Look how many movies that guy's been in,
7:22
Speaker 1: you know, people like the Dingo. If he wasn't good,

Speaker 1: you know a lot of people we saw you dance.
9:20
Speaker 1: You have an iconic NFL dance after you got a sack,
9:23
Speaker 1: you do that lights out dance. A lot of people
9:25
Speaker 1: say that you stole that lights out dance from the
9:28
Speaker 1: legendary wrestler Raizor Ramon. Is that true? That is not true,
9:35
Speaker 1: even though I'll give you this, he was one of
9:37
Speaker 1: my favorite wrestlers. So if I throw a toothpick in
9:39
Speaker 1: there for my next lights out dance, that's that that's
9:42
Speaker 1: a copyright infringement. So until until I got until I
9:46
Speaker 1: got that toothpick in there, Uh, it's all mine. Yeah,
9:49
Speaker 1: any well, let's get there. You were a football then, uh,
9:52
Speaker 1: we want to know, looking at your career, who were
9:54
Speaker 1: the linebackers that you know you looked up to when
9:57
Speaker 1: you were you know, coming up? Was it the Brian Urlock,
10:00
Speaker 1: Luke Kickley, Jeremiah Trotta? Who which one? No, I'm too
10:05
Speaker 1: old for that, those those guys will be looking up
10:08
Speaker 1: to me because I'm an older one. No, no, no,
10:10
Speaker 1: I think he must understood. We're saying that you looked
10:12
Speaker 1: up to them because they were better than you. Yea,
10:14
Speaker 1: because they were better. No, no, definitely not that um,
10:17
Speaker 1: but I will give you an I did like Luke.
10:20
Speaker 1: Luke Kickley is one of my favorite games. I would
10:22
Speaker 1: say that's the only one that maybe maybe up there.
10:25
Speaker 1: But Brian, you know what's funny? What's funny about her? Lacker?
10:28
Speaker 1: So look, I'll tell you this. We're talking about tough
10:30
Speaker 1: guys and all this other stuff. We had the same
10:32
Speaker 1: injury to our risk. We both broke our risk. One
10:35
Speaker 1: player one on our for the year. One person played
10:38
Speaker 1: in the soft cast for the rest of the years.
10:40
Speaker 1: So you went on IR er Lacker one on IR
10:43
Speaker 1: and I don't want to play for the rest of
10:44
Speaker 1: the year. Oh you know what, I like this guy
10:46
Speaker 1: here Let's just say you were in the charges when
10:49
Speaker 1: they made a decision that's come back to haunt them.
10:52
Speaker 1: They went with Philip Rivers over Drew Brees at quarterback. Now,
10:56
Speaker 1: let me ask you who made that decision, and you
10:59
Speaker 1: call up that person in and say, you know, hey,
11:01
Speaker 1: you ruin my life. I want to kill you. No,
11:04
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, Drew Brees shoulder was completely out of place.
11:07
Speaker 1: Who's gonna go after for that? You know? And everybody
11:10
Speaker 1: knows that when you get when somebody get drafted and
11:13
Speaker 1: there in the first round, you're gonna be that they're
11:16
Speaker 1: taking a team over. So Drews my homeboy. I spent
11:20
Speaker 1: a lot of time with him, especially during all seasons,
11:22
Speaker 1: but I still would rather play with him. Who you're saying,
11:25
Speaker 1: you'd rather go with old man Rivers over the greatest
11:29
Speaker 1: quarterback you know, statistically in history other than that cheetah
11:33
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. After you bother to see Nick Foles, you
11:35
Speaker 1: guys before damn blue. If you're sitting if you said
11:38
Speaker 1: Nicko statistics not obvious that you stopped that right now,
11:45
Speaker 1: don't mention Rivers? Hold up neither one what you mean
11:51
Speaker 1: the Nick Foles who caught the Philly special in the
11:54
Speaker 1: Super Super Bowls? Does Philip Rivers have negative too? And
11:59
Speaker 1: also Tom Brady how many touchdown receptions does he have
12:03
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl zero? Nick Foles has one? Your response, well,
12:09
Speaker 1: I'm glad. Well that's why he's not shaking Nick Fole's hand. Yeah,
12:12
Speaker 1: that's why. There you go. Now you're on alright. Look,
12:16
Speaker 1: we we've had a debate for years. Here. We think
12:19
Speaker 1: you're the perfect guy to settle it, because you know
12:20
Speaker 1: we want you to settle You're you're a charger and
12:23
Speaker 1: you're a linebacker. So here's the question. Who is the
12:26
Speaker 1: real LT? Is it Lawrence Taylor or is it Ladanian Tomlinson?
12:32
Speaker 1: H I love my LT more, but the real LT
12:36
Speaker 1: is Lawrence Taylor. You always be No, Nope, nope, it's
12:40
Speaker 1: La Danian Tomlinson single season rushing touchdown right number one.
12:46
Speaker 1: L guys losing it. Look, I love some Ladani and
12:51
Speaker 1: Thomas and nobody talked more on LTS behalf. But the
12:55
Speaker 1: original LT, the one who got me to play football,
12:59
Speaker 1: got he loving the game. It's Lawrence Taylor that will
13:03
Speaker 1: always be the original. You know, you're not looking like
13:05
Speaker 1: quite the teammate there, you know, betraying your own team. Yeah. Also,
13:09
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor is overrated. We think you're better. Derek Thomas
13:12
Speaker 1: is better, Cornelius Bennett is better. London, Fletcher London. You're
13:17
Speaker 1: gonna throw London. Don't get me wrong. I love London.
13:20
Speaker 1: They had a great long career. But you know, throwing
13:23
Speaker 1: up there with you know, you know Harry constantly was
13:26
Speaker 1: even better. You know, now you got Now you're going
13:29
Speaker 1: just now you're going just way. You're gonna way overboard.
13:32
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna okay, okay, okay. Let me ask
13:35
Speaker 1: you this. If there's any quarterback throughout time who you
13:39
Speaker 1: could just you know, get a free shot on, just
13:41
Speaker 1: you know, run up and smash him. Who would that
13:43
Speaker 1: person be? Dwelling only Tom Brady? Oh yeah, shoes. I
13:50
Speaker 1: wouldn't choose anybody over there. And the good thing is
13:53
Speaker 1: about hitting Tom is he makes a little noises that's
13:56
Speaker 1: different from everyone else. And then on top of that,
13:59
Speaker 1: he looks at you. He's not supposed to be hit.
14:01
Speaker 1: So what kind of noise can you make? The noise
14:04
Speaker 1: that he made. It's like a squeal kind of Yeah,
14:07
Speaker 1: it's it's it's one of those pig it's one of
14:10
Speaker 1: those more Now, I wouldn't say it more like a
14:12
Speaker 1: more like a grunt mown squeal type of deal. So
14:15
Speaker 1: it's it's sooner and then and then he'll oh God,
14:19
Speaker 1: and then look then he'll look at you like you're
14:21
Speaker 1: not supposed to hit him, which is even better. Can
14:23
Speaker 1: you describe what it would be, you know, so we
14:25
Speaker 1: could just really visualize it. You run up, then you
14:28
Speaker 1: just what do you do if you got a clear
14:30
Speaker 1: shot on? Yeah? Well what the rules being the way
14:32
Speaker 1: they are, you gotta get your helmet out the way
14:34
Speaker 1: because you can't even breathe on anybody too hard without
14:36
Speaker 1: getting penalty. But you definitely would lay on him and
14:39
Speaker 1: just a little bit more and make sure you drive
14:41
Speaker 1: him to the ground. Because people forget it's never to hit,
14:44
Speaker 1: it's the lay. Remember that it's not the hit, it's
14:48
Speaker 1: to lay. And then you got my mind like a
14:51
Speaker 1: like a yeah, I'm not talking about the twelve your
14:54
Speaker 1: twelve am in the middle of the night lay. I'm
14:56
Speaker 1: talking about the other lay when you go, OK, got it? Thing?
15:00
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't want to do that to
15:01
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, about the thing we want to do to
15:04
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Brady is a handsome guy. We were. I'm
15:07
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, you know, how good does it
15:10
Speaker 1: make you feel now that the Patriots absolutely suck? It does.
15:15
Speaker 1: But the only thing is they got my boy, Cam
15:17
Speaker 1: Newton is so I hate to see him getting beat up,
15:19
Speaker 1: but they actually see the organization take these ales. It
15:25
Speaker 1: makes me feel very good at night before I go
15:27
Speaker 1: to sleep, And if I got to talk about him
15:29
Speaker 1: in your kind of way, it just makes my heart melt.
15:31
Speaker 1: I feel like right now I'm very talking. Yeah, that's
15:36
Speaker 1: very beautiful. Yeah, you know what's it's a beautiful ill
15:39
Speaker 1: that they've been taking lately. So it works, you know.
15:42
Speaker 1: Right now, currently in the NFL, the Cowboys have the
15:46
Speaker 1: worst defense I've ever seen in my entire life. Do
15:50
Speaker 1: you think you could go there now and just get
15:52
Speaker 1: twelve sacks or something because they're terrible? You think you
15:55
Speaker 1: could do? Yeah? When I'm sitting on the outs watching
16:00
Speaker 1: the games, that's the first thing I think about, Like,
16:02
Speaker 1: I can roll up out of the couch, no clicks, nothing,
16:04
Speaker 1: no stretch and get me two sacks right now the
16:06
Speaker 1: way they're playing. But it is horrendous. It is horrendous.
16:10
Speaker 1: I don't think we ever seen anything like this, And
16:12
Speaker 1: to me, it's just like these guys just given up.
16:14
Speaker 1: It looks really bad right now. Uh, look, when I
16:18
Speaker 1: just want to circle back to something. If we set
16:20
Speaker 1: up a pay per view where we got Tom Brady
16:23
Speaker 1: and you and we just put you on the field,
16:25
Speaker 1: would you do that? You know, we sell it out
16:27
Speaker 1: and it's just you run up to him and basically
16:29
Speaker 1: kill him on the spot. Oh yeah, I would do
16:33
Speaker 1: that for free. You didn't have to payment that. I
16:35
Speaker 1: mean that that would you know? Maybe maybe the way
16:37
Speaker 1: you guys speak and set it up for around Valentine's Day,
16:40
Speaker 1: maybe we just put that it's gonna be good. Thank
16:42
Speaker 1: you for that Valentine's Day special with me and Tom Brady.
16:46
Speaker 1: That'd be great. All right. Now, let me ask you
16:48
Speaker 1: this early in the show, we we said the NFC
16:51
Speaker 1: East is the most competitive division in football. You know,
16:54
Speaker 1: you've got all these teams within basically a half game
16:56
Speaker 1: of each other. Don't you agree NFC East most competitive?
17:00
Speaker 1: Right now? And what I'm wrestling, Oh here, we got no. No,
17:07
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I mean we're talking thumb wrest because
17:09
Speaker 1: it's some pretty good teams to come out of there
17:11
Speaker 1: with dumb wrestling, because you're not talking about football. No, no, no,
17:14
Speaker 1: we're talking to the one yeah talking you're talking about
17:19
Speaker 1: because they're within one game, and that's literally the definition
17:23
Speaker 1: of being competitive. Poli. I don't even know what to say,
17:25
Speaker 1: don't even though what to say to you. I mean,
17:27
Speaker 1: you want me to compete with you? I've seen better
17:29
Speaker 1: fights on side of oah wa oh. Here you're saying
17:32
Speaker 1: the a f C West is more competitive the a
17:35
Speaker 1: f C West with your your raiders and your chiefs
17:37
Speaker 1: when they were nothing. Yeah, even better than anybody in
17:40
Speaker 1: the UNFC East right now, you know, well, guess we
17:45
Speaker 1: got to eat into the Atlantic because you're gone. Shut
17:54
Speaker 1: off the lights. You're off the show. Lights out for you,
17:58
Speaker 1: very up this phone the line. You guys, this guy
18:08
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. You know, you would think playing in the
18:10
Speaker 1: NFL all those years, he would know something about football,
18:13
Speaker 1: but clearly he doesn't. Clearly I mean to disrespect the
18:18
Speaker 1: quality division like the NFC East, I mean understand what
18:22
Speaker 1: competition is. No he doesn't. He couldn't handle the competition.
18:26
Speaker 1: That's why he's off the show, don't he. Anyway, we
18:28
Speaker 1: got we gotta calm down. We got talking about competition.
18:31
Speaker 1: We've got people lining up to sponsor, you know, to
18:34
Speaker 1: be in the show and for us to do the
18:36
Speaker 1: ad raids. And today got another big name out there.
18:39
Speaker 1: It's a big name in audio books. And that's why
18:43
Speaker 1: we're gonna do an ad right now for Audible. You know,
18:47
Speaker 1: people say, you know when you see someone reading the book,
18:49
Speaker 1: like they look smart. No, when I see someone reading
18:52
Speaker 1: the book, I think, what are you doing? Waste in
18:54
Speaker 1: your time? Put put it in the ear is people?
18:57
Speaker 1: Isn't it better to have someone read you a book?
19:00
Speaker 1: Tony tell them about the book we listened to this week.
19:05
Speaker 1: This week's Paulie and Tony's Audible book of the Week
19:08
Speaker 1: is Believe It by Nick Foles, My Journey of Success, failure,
19:15
Speaker 1: and overcoming they odds. When I'm with this girl, I'm
19:19
Speaker 1: seeing Abylonia. You know, when we make out at night,
19:23
Speaker 1: we usually put on some Mariah Carry, some Frank Sinatra,
19:28
Speaker 1: Dean Martin. But last night I put on the Nick
19:32
Speaker 1: Foles book, and let me tell you, it got hot
19:35
Speaker 1: and heavy when it got to that part in the
19:37
Speaker 1: book when Nick Foles caught the Philly Special. I don't
19:41
Speaker 1: want to say what happened, but you know, things got
19:44
Speaker 1: really intense and that is the power of literature. People.
19:49
Speaker 1: There it is. You can experience it for yourself, just
19:52
Speaker 1: as all the great writers from heading Way down to
19:55
Speaker 1: Nick Foles. This is what they wanted for you to experience. Yeah, audible,
20:02
Speaker 1: all right, I think we did a good ad for
20:04
Speaker 1: them there, Tony yep. I feel good now. You know.
20:07
Speaker 1: We gotta move on quick because we're running at a time.
20:09
Speaker 1: But we've got to do our predictions, and so far
20:12
Speaker 1: this year we are thirty eight and two. All right,
20:16
Speaker 1: let's do it. First game, Cowboys Eagles. This is gonna
20:20
Speaker 1: be a really tough one for the Eagles. We're going
20:23
Speaker 1: up against Ben Denucci. But I do think the Eagles
20:27
Speaker 1: are gonna have enough in the tank to outlast the Cowboys.
20:30
Speaker 1: I love the Eagles thirty to twenty eight. As we said,
20:34
Speaker 1: you know, Denucci is the second coming of Tony Romo,
20:37
Speaker 1: which means he won't be able to hold on to
20:39
Speaker 1: a snap. So I see the Eagles winning this on
20:42
Speaker 1: a blown p a t. Buccaneers at Giants. The Buccaneers
20:48
Speaker 1: season as over as we know it. After signing Antonio Brown.
20:52
Speaker 1: They're not gonna know what's going on. Everyone's gonna be
20:54
Speaker 1: distracted I like the g Men to beat Tampa Bay
20:58
Speaker 1: fourteen to ten. You, Tony, the NFC East is so
21:01
Speaker 1: competitive that I see the Giants coming out of the
21:05
Speaker 1: gate strong here because they, you know, they want to
21:07
Speaker 1: get the first place, want to get that second win.
21:10
Speaker 1: The Bucks in the NFC South non competitive, so you
21:14
Speaker 1: gotta give the competition angle to the Giants. I see
21:16
Speaker 1: the Giants pulling off the upset. Uh. Alright, Uh, Raiders
21:22
Speaker 1: at Brown's. You know, the Browns are gonna be feeling
21:24
Speaker 1: really shitty about what happened to Odell. They're gonna be downtrodden,
21:29
Speaker 1: They're gonna be steaming. I love the Raiders in this one.
21:32
Speaker 1: I'm going Las Vegas seven, Brown's ten. You know, the
21:38
Speaker 1: Browns with O'Dell, I just don't see them giving two
21:41
Speaker 1: ships about the game because you know, uh, they're kind
21:44
Speaker 1: of in the ship and now with this situation, so uh,
21:48
Speaker 1: I gotta give the edge to John Gruden, who has
21:52
Speaker 1: never taken a shift on his chest ever. So I'm
21:54
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Raiders winning a big one thirty
21:57
Speaker 1: four to ten. Alright, Patriots at Bills after suffering an
22:03
Speaker 1: embarrassing loss at home. I think Bill Belichick is gonna
22:05
Speaker 1: get back to basics. He's gonna deflate all the football's,
22:09
Speaker 1: make sure that Cam gets a very good grip on it.
22:12
Speaker 1: And I see the Patriots taking it to the Bills here,
22:14
Speaker 1: getting back on track ten to nine. What do we
22:17
Speaker 1: know about Bill Belichick? He likes to record the other
22:19
Speaker 1: team's practice as well. I see him learning a lot
22:22
Speaker 1: from the Bills this week, you know, learning their system
22:25
Speaker 1: and copying It's so I give the advantage of the
22:28
Speaker 1: Patriots coming away with the wine. Alright, Uh, Titans at Bengals.
22:34
Speaker 1: The Titans are gonna prove that with only one week
22:37
Speaker 1: to prepare, they don't know what's going on, and QB
22:41
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is gonna take it to Tennessee's suspect defense.
22:45
Speaker 1: I love Cincinnati beaten the Titans seventeen to ten. You know,
22:50
Speaker 1: all sources have told us that a lot of members
22:52
Speaker 1: of the Titans are scrambling to try and get COVID
22:54
Speaker 1: this week so they can get that delay and get
22:57
Speaker 1: that extra time to prepare. But you know, at the
23:00
Speaker 1: it's too late now. So I give the edge to
23:02
Speaker 1: the Bengals in this one. Hurl Colt set Lions, Oh man,
23:09
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch that game, are you no fucking way?
23:12
Speaker 1: All right? Rams at Dolphins to a tongue of Violoa
23:15
Speaker 1: is gonna get his first start of the season, and
23:17
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad news. They should have stuck with Fitzpatrick.
23:21
Speaker 1: I love the Rams to blow them out. Thirty one
23:24
Speaker 1: O three, Tony. You know, I just remember the Jude
23:27
Speaker 1: Law movie. Then I really like, what's that one with
23:29
Speaker 1: the Matt Damon boiler room? No, no, no, it's Jude Law,
23:33
Speaker 1: Matt Damon. I think God Gwyneth Paltrow's in it. The
23:38
Speaker 1: Martian No. I think it was like talented Mr Rogers,
23:46
Speaker 1: Talented Mr Rogers, that's it. He was good in that.
23:49
Speaker 1: So there you good. And that's why I got the
23:51
Speaker 1: Dolphins winning this game. Thirty one alright, Last game, Tony,
23:56
Speaker 1: Jets Chiefs. Uh, you know, I'm actually gonna watch this
23:58
Speaker 1: one because this might be the ugliest game in the
24:02
Speaker 1: history of the league. I think that the Chiefs are
24:04
Speaker 1: gonna put up about eighty points here on the Jets.
24:08
Speaker 1: I love Kansas City to win this one to seven.
24:11
Speaker 1: You know, I just checked the score board. The game
24:12
Speaker 1: doesn't stop for three days, but the Chiefs already beating
24:15
Speaker 1: the Jets forty two to zero. You know, Tony, I
24:18
Speaker 1: think everyone thinks the Jets are gonna get shut out here.
24:21
Speaker 1: That's not true. The Chiefs are gonna get so bored
24:24
Speaker 1: that they're gonna let him score a field goal. So
24:25
Speaker 1: I'll go with Chiefs win in sixty two to three. Alright,
24:29
Speaker 1: so that wraps up our predictions. And uh, we're not
24:32
Speaker 1: gonna thank Shawn Merriman. No are you kidding me? Anyway? Fine,
24:36
Speaker 1: you want to rate and review the show, Fine, because
24:37
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear from that dumbass again coming
24:39
Speaker 1: up to be and say, no way is he reviews.
24:42
Speaker 1: If you want to do it, go ahead. You know
24:43
Speaker 1: we're not gonna stop you. We're not gonna stop you.
24:45
Speaker 1: You can tell us how great we are because we know. Anyway.
24:49
Speaker 1: Good job, Tonty, another flawless show. That's it. See you
24:53
Speaker 1: next week.
