  Speaker 1: Ruffling the Feathers podcast. In today's episode, we have hit
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the quarter mark of the NFL season. And is this
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: picture any clearer than what we are seeing right now?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Because there are teams that are good. There are teams
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that are bad. There are teams that are good that
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: are supposed to be bad. There are teams that are
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: bad that are supposed to be good. There are defensive
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: issues all over the place, and I don't even know
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about anymore. But joining me on this
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: podcast is Supernova and Brandon Gentleman. What is going on today?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: A quarter of the way through already?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: That's so sad.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I know. We need to pour one out here.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I think the bye weeks start this week.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe. Nova, what's going on with you, brother?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Well, a heat wave. That's what's going on.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on. Brandon, why'd you let your Charizard out
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of its Pokeball?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Look, man. I don't know if you guys ever remember
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: reading the story of Perseus in school. Sometimes you gotta
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: just fly, man. You gotta let your wings stretch out.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously, SoCal is nowhere to grout on,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you know, promotion in RBGC surfers, but otherwise... And.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, that was Icarus, not Perseus. Jesus Christ, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: am so sorry.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Thanks for reminding me of me having an Icarus moment
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: last year, so that brings in dark times.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, in all fairness, Brandon, you've had a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: long day right now, so... Uh, yeah. I mean, let's
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: hear about that long day. Like how much fun was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it to wake up, look at your computer and see,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, LA is in a heat advisory, even though
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you're on the opposite side of the country.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I work in health insurance and my company is
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: based out of the state of California. So I get
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: to wake up and see all this. The first thing
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I look up and I was like, dang, I guess
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Nova's just over here kind of roasting alive at this
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: moment in time. And I get to sit here and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: wake up to 50 degree starts. So I don't envy
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: him at all.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Come on, man. You're doing a fellow co-host. Why?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, in all fairness, he's got to play into that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, like right now, it's in the heat advisory
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: for Nova. It is 75 and raining for me. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we might have– Brandon, I can't believe I'm saying this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We might have a hurricane in our season.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You might.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we might have a hurricane forming in the Yucatan Peninsula.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And I believe I saw the pronunciation. I think it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: was what, La– s-a-e-s s-a-e-s i think is how it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: it's spelled i-s.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah it's yes that's how you spell i think pronounce it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It's it's spanish-based yeah because apparently the hurricanes are named
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in english spanish or french because those are like the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: primary languages of everything in the atlantic for this time
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of year for the hurricane season Out of curiosity, Nova,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: have you ever been in a hurricane? Because Brandon and I... Well,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Brandon has, but I definitely have.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't get so many in the West Coast.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: We have some hurricane advisories, like, across the coast. Like,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I heard no Mexicans are dealing with a few of
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: them on the West Side, and I feel bad for
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: all the residents and for all that. But, yeah, I've
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: never been in one. I think the closest thing that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: happened is, like, a couple tornado spottings and a water spout.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Brandon, have you ever... experienced a hurricane.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Before i've experienced several hurricanes but unfortunately i also live
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in a part of the carolinas where we got hit
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: very heavily by hurricane helene a couple of years ago
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: so you know or maybe like a year and a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: half ago at this point has it really been that
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: long um there's a lot of the areas that are
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: near me that are still rebuilding um like as a
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: kind of a point of reference for those who may
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be familiar somewhat with the carolina area ashville north carolina
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: is a Kind of a pretty well-known little town in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this part of the country. They're still having to rebuild
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: their water infrastructure.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They are still having to rebuild it?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: They are still rebuilding their entire water infrastructure from where
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Helene hit. Because it destroyed a lot of things. There
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: were restaurants that were forced to close permanently because of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the loss of business. there were apartments that were washed away,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: knocked down. Like I have videos and pictures that I
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: can show you guys of like me helping do clean
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: out efforts after Helene kind of left. Like I was
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: sitting in an apartment in Asheville in the fifth story of,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of the apartment, your normal high rise apartment building style
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that you would imagine. And the water came up to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the top of the third floor. So it's, it Helene
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: was a very rough time for North Carolina, actually, unfortunately.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, admittedly, I will be, forgive me for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: sounding callous when I'm about to say, I thought you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: would probably say, yeah, I deal with the Hurricanes. They
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: play in Raleigh.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: No, not quite.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, forgive me if I sounded a little
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: callous there, but yeah, no, Hurricanes, not fun. I mean,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I will be honest. I I'm 30 now. I still
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: remember 2004 in Florida. Like, you know, people were like,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, hurricane this. Oh my God. Hurricane that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Oh my God. It's going to destroy everything. Yeah. Um,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I remember what was that? Ivan that, uh, was 2017.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: That was supposed to be a bad one. It really
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: didn't do much. Thankfully there was one a couple of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: years ago that, uh, Followed the exact same path as
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Hurricane Charlie did in 2004. I mean, yeah, that area
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: got ravaged. But 2004 hurricane season, we had four hurricanes
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of at least Category 3 hit Florida in a span
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of a month.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I remember that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Charlie was supposed to basically cut off the state
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of Florida like Bugs Bunny did in that Looney Tunes cartoon,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: which is way too early for Nova's time, but I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: sure he's seen that gif before.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Which one's that?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Where Bugs is really cutting off the state of Florida
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with a saw and sending Florida into the Caribbean Sea.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: He has no idea. This poor, poor, sweet summer child.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He does not know, but he will be informed in time.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no. Charlie was supposed to destroy us. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: remember the thick, thick black storm clouds and all that,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: but nothing major happened there. Francis, okay, Francis was bad.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Ivan hit the panhandle, and yeah, the panhandle was rocked.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And then Gene was the worst one in my area.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It blew out power for a day. And then because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we were still in the process of building the house
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that we're currently in right now in Florida, my family
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and I. And in the process of building that house
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: with the hurricane knocking out power for the day, we
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: come up here. We see the foundation of the house.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: We go to this. Now, thankfully, it's been bankrupt and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: out of business for like, I don't know, 15 years
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: now and my dad got food poisoning that day from
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that uh restaurant because it was that horrible.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah that's how she just really just likes to
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: hear but you know i guess i'll bring in the
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: good news before we get into our actual sections uh
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: what i didn't say is that high school football league
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: play started uh first of all shout out to patriot
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: high school you guys are always the real ones supporting
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: me whenever most other schools don't really give the respect
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: they deserve for media workers like myself. But also, this
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: upcoming Saturday, San Bernardino Valley College resumes home play back
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: on IEMG. I'll be on the call again against Glendale College.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Ooh, well, ladies and gentlemen, if you are going to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: be around, check out that stream when it goes live.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: We will have a link in the description of this
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: podcast so you guys can check it out. And honestly, Nova,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: speaking of high school, I'll say briefly my high school.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: We just had the homecoming game on Friday night. Absolutely
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: incredible game. We played. We actually played Keanu Neal. You
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: remember that name, Brandon?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I do, too.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we played his alma mater on Friday night, South
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Sumter High School, and played a really close game. My
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: high school threw a touchdown pass, a 15-yard skinny post
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: with two minutes left in the game. South Sumter drives
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it down inside the five with 35 seconds left. And
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for South Sumter, but fortunately for my school, their
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: kicker sailed a 25-yarder wide left.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're actually upsetting me because I witnessed a 43-yard
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: field goal just this Friday, which I think is a
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: rarity because I want to see more kickers kick field goals.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I do, too. And this kid, he had a 45
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and a 47 yarder that he missed those two, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he had the distance that he could have hit them
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: from like 50. This kid, he's a, and again, he's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a kid. I say that even though Brandon, I mean,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Brandon and I, we probably say everybody that's younger than
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: us as a kid right now.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Five, six years older than you. What do you mean? Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: We really are filling in the A's. Sorry.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Nova, I'll say it in place of Brandon. When
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: did your SpongeBob watch through happening? No. Well, Brandon, I tried.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: That's fine. But no, like on the topic of high
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: school football, I got to look it into my high
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: school because I haven't actually kept up with my high
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: school's football since I graduated from there. And let's be fair.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I graduated high school in 2009. So mine's been a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: little while. Historically, we've never been good at football. We
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: really haven't. The closest that my county has gotten to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: being good at high school football is when Carlos Watkins
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: played for Chase High School. He's from my area, and
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that's pretty much the only time that they've ever really
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: been good at football. But I'm over here looking at it,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and I'm actually kind of impressed because they're 6-1 on
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the season. Listen to these scores. This is very impressive.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We are 6-1. We have won, in order, 51-12, 52-12.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: We lost 62-31, won 42-35, 42-0, 34-27, and we won 42-0. Hey,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: at least we're getting 30 points a game. We're sitting
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: over here like, oh boy, what are we doing over here?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: We are averaging... almost 300 passing yards per game, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: averaging 223 on the ground.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Where are the scouts?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, where are the scouts there? But honestly, guys, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: can say this. I mean, high school football is on.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We got college football that just happened. We got college
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: football this weekend. We got the Red River rivalry this weekend. Saturday,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Texas and Oklahoma.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Do I want to pick Bajon or do I want
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to pick Billy Bowman Jr. 's school?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I personally don't watch college football as much as I
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: used to, so I'm not going to give an answer.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I think you should spend that time watching Spongebob. It's okay.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think I can do that because I got
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to get ready for that game.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: That sounds like a skill issue.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a skill issue not regarding you.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: No, the issue is there, brother. The issue is you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's start off. We have Pittsburgh at Cleveland on
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Thursday Night Football. I pretty much, I think all of
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: us had this anticipation that the Browns were going to
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: win this game, but I'm going to explain something to
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: you guys that I think may not make the most sense,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I think. Because the Pittsburgh Steelers historically never do well
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: in Cleveland, and I don't know why that is.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Let's see. Steelers record.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: They are 2-2 in the season.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Record in Cleveland.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I think they haven't won in over five years. The
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: last thing they did well was a tie.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: It says... Pittsburgh Steelers trail in road games against the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns going 24-38-1 all-time in Cleveland, with Cleveland holding
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: a 7-1 advantage in Cleveland since 2019. The one.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Being the tie, by the way.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: The one being the tie.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: So wouldn't that be 7-0-1 then?
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I guess so.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Let's see. I want to see.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: But also, you want to hear something else about this game?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCartney had a hot Mike moment immediately.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love it. That was great. That
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: was great, where he's like, call the fucking play!
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You could just see Mike McCartney, you asshole.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: And now you kind of see why I don't like
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Mike McCartney as the newest head coach. Now you kind
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: of see.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: And this is what I was telling y'all from the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: very beginning of like, whenever we started doing this podcast
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: is Mike McCartney was not going to be good for that. Like,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and if they were, it was because of any chemistry
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: he had with Rogers, but it seems like that's kind
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: of gone out the window since their time in green Bay.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Also while we're on the note, because I like Google
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: searching things. The last time the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns in Cleveland was on Halloween of 2021. with
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: a score of 15 to 10.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: God, I wonder where we're going to be talking about
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that score today.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Oh God. Yeah. No, don't get me started. Anywho. Yeah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: But I mean, we got the box score for this game.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rogers, 22 of 42 99, three touchdowns,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: two picks. Like, That's kind of crazy when you think
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: about it, that Aaron Rodgers got picked off twice in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: a game. I can't even remember the last time that happened.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Can any of you guys?
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: He's really sucked at the QB since.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: No, I mean.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'd like to point.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Out with the final interception, it was the same thing
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: that happened with the Lamar Jackson's a flowers connection in
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Rio last where there was actually an open man in
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the middle of the field in the air. I just decided, no,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to go there. I'm just going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: chuck it deep, get intercepted. My brother. You had a
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: man wide open. You just chose not to hit him.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Evidently, no. And my brother even brought up the fact
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that DK Metcalf was wide open. And he was, I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: saw the play late. I was like, oh, damn, that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is a horrible play. a mystery by Aaron Rogers, but
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: at least they have a small running game and Jalen
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Warren getting 93 yards, five and a half a carry.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: They ever choose to use the running game, which they
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: keep forgetting to do. Cause you know, Jalen Warren's a
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: good running back.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Warren is a, a decent running back.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, we, we've got better ones in the league.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I'll just say that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: They got a lot better ones in the league. Anywho,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just biased against Pittsburgh. I hate Pittsburgh. Anywho, carry on.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I'm biased against them too, but I have to respect
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: where it is. Hey, did anybody else have Cleveland 3-1
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: after four weeks?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: If you had told me Cleveland has a winning record
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: at any point in time, no.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: They're leading the division because of this win, because now
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: they have a division lead because of this one game.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, Todd Munkin is also just like making this
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: offense come alive.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Um, I mean, to answer your question, Nova, I probably
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: would have said two and two for Cleveland.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I would have told you that was generous.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: That's like, I would have been generous and said two
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and two. Like I would have, I would have put
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: them more on the defense when in the games that
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: they did because their defense is quietly underrated right now.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, But if I would have said 3-1, I have
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a feeling Brandon would.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I've protested you, probably.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm going to do right now, though.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Wait, what do you mean by that, Nova?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Brother.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Well, see, that's the thing. We can't drug test someone
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: for saying Cleveland's 3-1 when they actually are 3-1.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I keep in mind, this is one of the teams
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Brandon predicted at the start of the season to go 0-17,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: and now they're leading the division.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Wait, what? I thought he picked the Giants to go 0-17.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: We'll get to that later. They're not the only ones.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: No, I had also picked Cleveland. I had also picked Cleveland.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: This Cleveland offense has definitely been interesting because he, who
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: should not be named by me and Brandon, has been
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: playing well.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I refuse to acknowledge his play style. Anywho, did you
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: guys see it? Quinn Sean Jenkins had 53 receiving yards
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and a touchdown. Oh, I'm sorry. 53 rushing yards and
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a touchdown.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: You have 43 receiving yards if you want to check
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: right there on the screen.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Denzel Boston had 89 receiving yards.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They played very well for their positions.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Dude, I freaking love Denzel Boston as a rookie. Like,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I know we could say things about Watson that we
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: don't want to be saying. It's just like, Look, we
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: appreciate everyone else. Denzel Boston and Harold Fannin are emerging
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: for this offense.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I keep leaving Denzel Boston on my bench in some
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: fantasy leagues. I'm low-key starting to regret it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, you might have to reconsider that, Brandon. Now,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I will say, technically, both quarterbacks contributed to two turnovers. So,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Deshaun had the one interception and the one loss fumble. Meanwhile,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Rodgers had the two interceptions, but... I mean, when you
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: look at their QBRs, they were kind of even 53.4, 49.4.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: When you both suck. That's easy to do.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of easy to do. Um, That's
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: easy to do.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of easy to do. However, I'm going
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: to actually say something right now. This might be my
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: ruffling the feathers, and I might get Brandon really mad
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: at me, Nova. Like, madder than he's been at all
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: at me in four weeks, which is saying a lot.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And you know why?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Well....
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for Nova to answer why.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I'll give you an emotion, just go.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Brandon, I'm going to defend Deshaun Watson right now.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, God.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Now, hear me out. The setting was.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: The setting was on Sunday when I was at my
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: League Cup to get ready to cast. Me and a
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: couple of my friends, we were talking about the NFL.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We were talking about this Thursday night game. Now, I'm
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: talking with a Bucs fan. I'm talking with a Giants fan.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I'm talking with a Cowboys fan.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: What kind of a room are you in to where
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: all three of these co-mingle with each other? That's unheard
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: of around here. Oh, I mean, in his.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Defense, one of them is a local to the Tampa
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers. One of them is.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Also, to that defense, my old roommate, I'm a Patriots fan,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: and my old roommate was a Giants fan.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we were talking about how Deshaun has been
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: playing through these four weeks. And one of them, the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Giants fan, actually, was the one who brought this up.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: He was like, I cannot stand how all of these
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: talking head shows like First Take and Get Up and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: First Things First and Cowherd, they're all gassing up Deshaun
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Watson with how he's been performing right now. And this
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: is what I said to them. Deshaun Watson, the player,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I can understand them giving the player a redemption story
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: because the way he's played the last three weeks, you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: can honestly tell me that right now he does not
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: look like the quarterback in Houston that signed that big contract. I, I, well,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I w I was waiting for somebody to say whether
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: or not I was crazy on that, but we will continue.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: So I, That's my thing. When it comes to Deshaun Watson,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the player, that was always my thing with the Achilles
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: ruptures is as the player, I could feel for him
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: losing years of his career. So Deshaun Watson, the player,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I defend for getting this redemption story. I do not
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: think he should be comeback player of the year. However, I,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: but I do, I do respect the player. To get
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: some love. But when it comes to Deshaun Watson. The person.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Oh he can go piss up a rope. And fuck
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: all the way off. Because. Pissing up a rope is crazy.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Everything he did off the field, there is no defending.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: He is an asshole. He is a horrible person. So
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I have no sympathy for him. And the analogy I made, Brandon,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I used the Hulk Hogan debate. Because let's be real.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Everybody has an opinion of Hulk Hogan. Most of them
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: are negative. And a lot of them come from the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: political backing, which we don't have to... But it was always,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: where does Hulk Hogan, the character, and Terry Bollea, the person, begin?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: In the case of that, we always said Hulk Hogan,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the character, was one of the best things out there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: He was the symbol of excellence. Say your prayers, eat
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: your vitamins, all that hoopla. But Terry Bollea, the person
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: behind the character, was a complete and total asshole. And
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that's my whole reasoning. I am willing to give Deshaun Watson,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: the player, a little bit of redemption story because the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: way that he's played these last three weeks, I'm seeing
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the Houston Deshaun Watson.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with the slightest.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: He's been playing better, but I still think he's playing
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: relatively pedestrian.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can understand that side of things. Now, Brandon,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: please have at it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I think Deshaun wants it as a shit player and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: a shit person. That's my take, and I'm sticking to it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Yippee!
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: On a somewhat serious note... i i don't think that
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: he has been playing like he did in houston i
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: see flashes of him as he played in houston um
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: but the years of being hurt and out of the
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: league and being blackballed for the heinous bullshit he did
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: um which to my knowledge he still has never actually
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: verbally confirmed or apologized for even though we all know
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: he fucking did it um.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: All he did was settle. That's all he did. Oh, yeah.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: All he did was settle. He never outright was found guilty,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and the two grand juries declined to pursue anything because
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: I think their reason was lack of evidence.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: You can't see me or hear me, but know that
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: my eyes have rolled all the way in the back
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: of my head. Wow.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It's a shame you're in North Carolina and not Tennessee
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: right now. I'd say, hey, there's a mayor out there
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee that is good at rolling his eyes in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the back of his head. And you probably know his brother.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: It's The Undertaker.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I know nothing about wrestling.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Isn't there a rumor he's running for Senate next?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think something about Kane running for Senate. I
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: don't know the whole shtick on it. But again... That's
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: my thing, Brandon. I know it's controversial, but I'm willing
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to go that route. And I will take the burning
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and running over me with a car now from you.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Just know I'm disappointed in you.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: And we bring in the meme, but his appointment is immeasurable.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Just think of it like whenever your parent tells you
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: that they're not angry, they're just disappointed.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: A.K.A. every smoking God ever.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Actually, I think I know what Brandon really wants to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: have happen, Nova, and you know what that is? Fool
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: this man!
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Fool this man!
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Read my mind like a book.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, man.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Well, in all fairness, I said my piece on that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to the Sunday, ladies and gentlemen.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: And we'll start with London, because that was the 6.30 a.m.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: game for the West Coast, 9.30 for you guys. And
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: it was Colts Commanders in London.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: The Colts and the Commanders in London. Brandon, do you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: like your tea with sugar cubes or honey?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I like mine in the Bay Harbor.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: But Brandon, let's have you take this game.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love making bad history jokes. First
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: of all, what was this by Washington? What happened?
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I think Mariota got hurt. He did.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he got hurt. And then you have this random
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: backup QB come in and throw for 15. 50 for 33, 186,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: a TD and a pick.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Ethan Kaliak-Manis.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Sure, let's go with that pronunciation.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And his touchdown was Traylon Burks on Sauce Gardner. He
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: burned Sauce Gardner for a 47-yarder and a 48-yarder.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: He's definitely worth the first round picks, by the way.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: He was definitely worth it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: That's fine. And he finished with a better QBR than
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones did.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, where did the Colts receiver room go? This felt
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: like the Jonathan Taylor show all the way.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: It was absolutely the Jonathan Taylor show.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: It absolutely was the Jonathan Taylor show.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: When he carries 95 yards and two scores along with
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: a single reception. I don't want to do that one. Yeah,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: just Washington's secondary seemed to have it all kind of
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: locked down for the most part. They just couldn't stop
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: a nosebleed on the ground. So, you know, no big deal.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I also feel like people on social media are just like,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: where the hell is the Josh Downs breakout game?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he disappointed me in Fantasy 2. I'm kind of
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: mad about it.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he wasn't all that great. I mean, like, I'll
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: be honest. I was listening to this game, driving to
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: that cup, and all I hear is, oh, Marcus Mariota
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: is down. I'm like, what? And then I hear this name,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: that Ethan Kaliakmanis, and I think I pronounced that name right.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: You did, you did, you did.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yay! Yay, I did something right. um and i watched
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: him i mean he wasn't horrible in the game like
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: i mean again he's a he's a freaking third string
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: quarterback from rutgers who's drafted in the seventh round.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: So you know mariota has an mcl spring in his
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: right knee.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Jesus christ can i ever catch a break or be
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: trying to get dan quinn fired.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And it's the exact same MCL that he sprained in
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Atlanta that led to Desmond Ritter.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: You'd rather have had Mariota.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I would have rather had a nosebleed. But in all fairness,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this was the Jonathan Taylor show. I mean,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: 20 carries, 95 yards, two touchdowns. And I think it's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: safe to say for the three of us, he was
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: drinking tea, NFL. They said it on the broadcast. He
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: was drinking tea.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Like, please don't fine him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: We're talking about this again?
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: We're going to have a big discussion about this with
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: two games. We're going to have a big discussion. But anyway,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Colts are now 2-2, but I think that says a
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: lot about their opponents rather than the Colts.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd go that far. I mean, and again, like
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, he had a fumble on the second play
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of the game.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that surprised me.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: The Commandos had a defensive touchdown from Deluxe at the
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: box score. We could check. Probably check that one.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: But.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I do not see a defensive TD. Huh.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's field goals. Okay.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Wait, was it? Oh, that was the second touchdown. They
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: just missed the PAT.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Wait.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Their kicker hit all field goals and all XPs.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So one touchdown, two field goals.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I'm bad.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yay, math.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's also 9 o'clock for us and 6
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: o'clock for Nova, Brandon. I was asleep for this.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: God, get up and watch football then. Jesus.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully he will this Sunday when we talk
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: about the Week 5 slate. But moving on.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: To the 10 o'clock window. Fashion 1 o'clock window.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Let's start with.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: You might as well. You might as well.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Might as well. Let's talk about it. The Patriots shocking
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the holy hell world with a win at Buffalo. Where
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: is Tom Brady when you need him on the microphone,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast?
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: This one was I and E on Ross Tucker.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: To quote Brady, the man only lost twice. In the
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Highmark Stadium. Which honestly would be kind of insulting if
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: he didn't beat them 33 other times. I genuinely, I'm
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: pretty sure that as far as our official picks at
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: the end of last podcast were concerned, that I picked
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Buffalo to win this one. Because I genuinely had no
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: faith in.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: No, I'll interject here. We all picked Buffalo to win,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: but I was the only one to call out that
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: this game would be close. You guys thought it would
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: be well outs.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I never thought it was going to be worse with
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: how we've been playing. I didn't expect Drake May to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: show up and throw for 273 TDs and a pick. Which,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: by the way, on that note, Drake May, do we
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: need to replace your fingers with the sticks of butter
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: that currently exist on them? Because this motherfucker can't hold
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: on to the ball to save his life. Because in
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: addition to the interception that he had, he also had
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: three fumbles.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: How many did he lose?
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: He only lost one of them. To be fair, he
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: only lost one of them. But he still fumbled three times.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And Elijah Ponder recovered the other one. Or recovered another fumble, rather,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I should say. And I'm just over here going, what
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: in the holy hell are we doing? Like, why can
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: he not hang on to the ball? Also, Romeo Dobbs,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I owe you an apology. You can keep your helmet
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: on for as long as you would like if you
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: keep making TD catches like this. This is fine. This
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: is fine.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: And how about Epton Chisholm?
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chisholm, yeah. That TD was fucking beautiful. That was
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: probably one of the cleanest one-handed go-ahead TDs I have
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: seen in recent memory. That was beautifully, the vision on
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: it was beautiful by him. Granted, I thought, again, please guys,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: tell yourself if you disagree with me, I thought it
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: was just a hair bit overthrown had Chisholm not been
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: able to reach out like he did and grab it. Obviously,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: you know, plays were made, but because he was able
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: to track the ball in the manner that he did,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: was literally the game winner for us. And I think
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: this kind of goes back to what we were saying
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: of what happens when Buffalo's defense doesn't show up. I
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: think this was a game where, sorry, I think that
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: this was a game where Buffalo's defense did not show up.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, we gave up 100, like as far as
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: our defense is concerned, we gave up 116 receiving yards
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: alone to Keon Coleman. And we gave up– well, we
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: had the run game locked down pretty hard. They only
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: came out of there with a total of 91 rushing yards.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: 75 of them were to James Cook.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: And it also says something about your running attack, Brandon,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: when your leading rusher is Drake May.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, and that's totally fine because, like, as far
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: as we're concerned, like, Ramondre Stevenson and Travion Henderson couldn't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: run their way out of a wet noodle. I mean,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with the run game lately. But,
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, it's fine. I mean, we come
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: out of this with a win. You know, we contained
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Dawson Knox. We contained Dalton Kincaid. You know, we kind
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: of let James Cook just beat James Cook. We forced
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen to be a pure passer. That's literally what
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: we did, is we forced him to be a pure passer.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: And he left the game, you know, or he finished
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: the game, rather, with one TD, one pick, and a fumble.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, he didn't lose the fumble, but he still
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: fumbled the ball. And... It was probably the more solid
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: game that we've played this entire season, and I hope
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: if Drake May loses the Butterfingers that he's got, we
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: might be okay. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know, because
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: next week we play the Raiders, so they're kind of scary.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: They kind of worry me. We'll talk more about that later, though.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that later, but Nova, how does
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: it feel seeing Josh Allen lose?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: You have to look back at that interception, that arm
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: punt he threw. He had a check down for a
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: first down. He decided to play hero ball, and I
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: think that's an issue for Josh Allen. Where it's like,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: he tries to play too much of the hero ball,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: and then the turnovers just happen from that. But otherwise... Yeah,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: a little disappointed by Buffalo, but then again, I kind
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: of did call this up because for some reason, division
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: rivals always play close with each other, whereas neither team
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: wants to pull away from each other. And remember, last year,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: the Patriots beat Buffalo at the old Highmark Stadium. They
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: do it again in the new Highmark Stadium. So it's like,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: nothing's changed.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Fuck you, Buffalo. To kind of add on, sorry, I
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: keep cutting you off, Todd. I genuinely don't mean to. No,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: it's fine. But to keep adding to the comment that
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Nova made is Josh Allen played hero ball. And I
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: think this is what happens with Josh Allen whenever his
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: defense doesn't stand up and when his run game gets
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: bottled up. He's like, fuck, now I have to pass
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: the ball. Fuck it, Keon Coleman or Dalton Kincaid's down
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: there somewhere. By the way, do you want to talk
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: about Dalton Kincaid? He did practically nothing this game. Yes,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: because we had that man covered like off-line on Russ.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my tight end in fantasy was not great this week.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Nor were mine.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: We didn't expect Donald Kincaid to come out of that, but,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: you know, we're here and are there, I guess.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: This was really the Keon Coleman game, and you know
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: how much fire he's been getting since last season.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been getting kind of fire since last year, but... Yeah,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you try to play hero ball, it
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: can be a detriment. And we'll see how Buffalo fares
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: next week when we talk about it, because they've got
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a big game coming up.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Who does Buffalo play next week?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Monday night against the Rams.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's perfect.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Please be the Devontae Adams show again.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Now, do I mean the Aaron Donald show, Loki?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Please, XOXO. Rams, please throw to Devontae Adams. Please, TYSM.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of throwing, let's talk about the next game,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: which is the Chicago Lakers. bears defeating the New York jets. Nova.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a, we're going to have you take this one
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: because yes, you are the only one to pick the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: jets to win this game, but at least the jets
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: did something right?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: No, they did it. And that's why I'm disappointed because I,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: I think you need to hear the stat. I think
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: the Bears had more... They had like... What was it?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: It was something more than their offensive plays, which is wild.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had... Oh, more first.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Downs than offensive plays. There you go. Jesus.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Which.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm going to be real. In my defense, when
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I picked the Jets, I thought they were going to
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: show up like they did against the Lions like they
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: did against the Packers. I didn't think they just... they
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: lay a massive egg against the bears, especially because Tyson
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Bajan took the starting job from case Keenum and Bajan
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: didn't look all that good, but the 23 to 12
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: score does a lot of masking for the jets. And, uh,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I gotta say a lot of disappointment with the jets,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: but it really isn't their fault. It was just like
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: the bears just dominated the time of possession. And then
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: you have another great game from Kyle. My nun guy too.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you had a good game from Kyle Menunga at
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: 30 carries for 146 yards. He had the second most
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: rushing yards this week. And the number one and number
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: three are arguably better running backs than Menunga. But, I mean,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: he is playing really well alongside, like, DeAndre Swift and
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: all that. I mean, I'm impressed by Ben Johnson that
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: he has won with three different starting quarterbacks this season.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, he won with Caleb Williams. He won with
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Case Keenum. He won with Tyson Bajan. Like, I don't know.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: Should he be the front runner for coach of the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: year right now?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I think we bumped the brakes on that one a
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Let's hear your defense then, Brandon. Let's hear your defense.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, pump your brakes a little bit. They've not
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: really played anybody worthwhile either, in my opinion.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, they haven't really played anybody just yet.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: But I will say, though, It is a negative on
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Tyson Bajan when you are now the answer to the
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: trivia question. Who let the Jets get an interception off
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: of for the first time in two years?
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Play the Final Fantasy VII Sound Fair.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Like, that was insane. Like, you see that interception and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: you're just like, holy shit, the Jets actually did it.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: They actually got a pick.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: With Mika Fitzpatrick, nonetheless.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Wow, what a freaking fall from grace he's had.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: You can think the Steelers trading him back to the
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Dolphins for that one, to be real.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: He was a diva. What can you expect?
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but hey, at least he broke the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Jets streak. Now, I will also say this before we
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: go to the next game. Do we think Aaron Glenn's
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: seat is getting hotter?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: He's not surviving the year. Let's be real.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not surviving the year, which is unfortunate because
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I think his players really try to play for him
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and they just aren't getting the results on the field
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: and then you couple it with the New York media.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Those guys are sharks. But moving on, let's talk about
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: the Battle of the Caps. And the Jaguars defeating the
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Where are my trumpeters and my robes and
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: my blonde wig so I can be Nick Wright for
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: branded right now?
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: No, the better question to ask is where are your flags?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: That's also a pretty good question too.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: There is an abnormal amount of penalties in this game.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like, I don't understand why there were fucking 24
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: penalties called on this game. For reference, 13 penalties for
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville for 125 yards and 11 penalties for Cincy for
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: a total of 108 yards.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Flag.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Flag.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Flag.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Flag.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Flag.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Flag.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Do we think that the Bengals defense is finally showing
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: its ways? Because I think it's going backwards now.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: I think this game's a pretty rough indicative of that
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: because of all the penalties.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but also, Joe Burrow, look at the box score.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: 400 yards and he still throws two picks.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but when you also throw the ball 54 times,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, for reference, they only had 23 rushing yards.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: What is it with teams and rushing the ball right
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: now that there are some that are great, a cough-cough Atlanta,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: cough-cough Baltimore, and teams that are horrible at running the ball?
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Cough-cough New England. Oh, no. Okay, we're not doing that bit. Okay,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: that's fine.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: The answer is still correct.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, the answer is still correct. But I'll say this. T. Higgins,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: 11 catches for 157 yards. Like, that's pretty damn impressive
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: right there for T. Higgins. And then on the Jaguars side,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, Trevor Lawrence, I mean, that's a really damn
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: good completion for attempts. 18-23 for 227 of I don't
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: even know who the hell this is. Bayshul Tootin?
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: He was like a third running back last year.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had never heard of him before, but evidently
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: 17 carries for 73 yards. I mean, that's pretty damn good.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: And then Brenton Strange, seven receptions, 95 yards. The study
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: has to be done, though, about... Like, I'm even looking
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: at the defense side. Look at it. Travis Hunter had
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: four tackles, but is he supposed to be a two-way
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: player or is he supposed to be on defense now?
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: He's on defense mostly for now.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he had some pretty good plays. I will
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: give him that much.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Three solo tackles, too, so that's good for a corner.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: And two passes defense. That's pretty damn good.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Bad news for Cincy, though. Jamar Chase got concussed.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now that ain't good. But that probably explains why T.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Higgins has 11 for 157. Because he slid into the
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: number one receiver role when Jamar went down.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is not great. But yeah, Cincinnati's not a
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: second loss in a row. I mean, this is also
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville's second win in a row. I think this could
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: be a sign of things to come because it looks
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: like Cincinnati is finally coming down to earth and Jacksonville
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: is finally figuring out something since getting a Broncos devil magic.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: But do you guys, do you guys think that Jacksonville
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: is now the front runner in the AFC.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: In the South?
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think AFC.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: No. Yeah. No, I have not. I agree with that.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: And they have seen that AFC South. Yes.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, it'll be interesting to see what they
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: do because, uh, I mean, again, we'll talk about the
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: previews in a little bit, but it's going to be
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: their time in London coming up soon.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Ah, great.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Another game I might miss.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Moving on to our next game. You know, we
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: were talking about Battle of the Cats. Let's talk about
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: a Battle of the Bays. Tampa Bay and Green Bay. Oh,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: my God.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I'm sure so many people didn't want to watch this
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: game because of how... you know, the low morale for
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: the Packers and then whatever the heck is happening in Tampa.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, I said it last week. I'll say it
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: again this week. Bucks fans, we tried to warn you
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: about Zach Robinson, but you didn't listen to us. So
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: this is what you fucking get.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Do we know who hired Zach Robinson in the front office,
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: or do we just know it's just the organization?
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Just the organization, I think, because.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, I was going to say, if that was a
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: move by Bruce Arias or the Glazers, then what did
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: they see?
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: I can tell you what Bruce Arians is probably thinking
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: right now, and we'll talk about him in a little
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: bit when we talk about a couple of other games
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: on the slate. But, yeah, no, Bruce Arians would have
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: never hired Zach Robinson after watching how Zach Robinson played
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: or coached in Atlanta because, my God, I mean, I
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: get you're playing an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback game,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: But your play calling is so moribund, so ass. Like,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: last time I checked, wasn't Emeka Egbuka supposed to be
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: the replacement to Mike Evans? How does he have two
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: receptions for 13 yards and is only targeted four times?
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Also, where's Chris Godwin?
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, six receptions for 31 yards.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: What were you going to say, Brandon? You started something.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say it's with the rest
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: of the team and just not being existent. I mean,
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: I never thought this would be the season that would
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: be transparent for Tampa. I didn't think they'd be 0-4
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: by the start. I thought they'd be like 2-2. Yeah,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: but that was also before Baker got hurt.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and now Baker might be out for
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: six weeks, guys.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it all depends on how he can grip a
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: football because, again, it's a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand. So.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Thank God he got paid, I guess. Yeah, I.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Remember how we said it, Brandon? We said Baker Mayfield
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: was not worth $ 50 million a year?
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah... I mean, I can't really do anything about him
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: getting hurt, though.
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only time where it's like, uh... I
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: don't think we can talk about the money if he
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: got hurt, because then you don't have an interaction with
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: what's going on, because we don't usually know Baker Mayfield
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: is injury-prone. Usually, he.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: He usually tops through it if it's, you know, someone
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: that's worth toughing through.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely tops it through. And also, I just
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: want to point this out here. The one fumble for
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, this is their center that fumbled the ball.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: And do you guys know how he fumbled the ball?
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: He just rubbed the ball in the dirt?
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: He pulled a Mark Sanchez. He fumbled it off his
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: own ass cheeks.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Love it.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: This game was absolutely horrible. The fact that it was
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: 17-14 is crazy enough as it is. The fact that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: they got into a range for Chase McLaughlin to kick
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: a game-tying 65-yard fugal, which people forget. Chase McLaughlin hit
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: a 65-yarder in that stadium. Was it last year or
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: two years ago?
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: It was last year.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, it was last year. He had a 65-yarder in Tampa,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and they didn't go for it. Or they didn't go
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: for the field goal. They went for it on 4th
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: and 11, and they failed. You have a kicker.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: I pointed it out a couple episodes ago. You have
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: a really good kicker. Why are you not using him?
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Not using him at all. And then after the game,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Tristan Wurfs, when asked about Todd Bowles, he said, no comment.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: He's lost the locker room. There's no way he hasn't.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is not going to make it through or
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: past the end of the year, if you ask me.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: But I don't know how. I mean, if they do
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: pull the trigger and fire him midseason, it'll be the
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: first time in franchise history they do that, guys.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is what Chicago did two years ago with
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Matt Eberflus.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: And knowing their luck, they're going to promote Zach Robinson
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: to head coach.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I would fucking love that. I would love that because
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like Tampa Bay would collectively burn. They would
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: find a way to take the water out of the
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: bay and evaporate it with their fury. And that would
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: be hilarious.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: At least they have the Rays.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: At least they have the Rays, but at least for
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: the Bucs.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, we never talked about the Packers.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: We never talked about the Packers. You're not getting out
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: of this one. You look disappointing again.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed again.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Yes. If Tampa's as bad as they are, how did
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: you only win by three?
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: Brandon, you got an answer.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: For that one? No, no. I got nothing for you, bud.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got nothing either.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: This team's finishing last in the NFC North. Mark my words.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, without question. I mean, they... But again, it doesn't help.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at it. 86 rushing yards. As a team.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: It's better than what they take in Atlanta.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: 17. Thank you very much.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: We're just troubling right now with both these teams because
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: they're going on paths that we didn't think they'd be going.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: From disappointment to where the hell are the refs? What
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: the hell are the refs doing? Let's go with the
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: Cardinals Giants. Brandon, you can start with this one.
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: So, first of all, Jameis Winston, what are we doing, buddy?
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: What are we doing throwing three TDs at a game?
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Where has this been? Where has this been?
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: It's been in his pre-game and post-game speeches.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: It's been fucking somewhere. No, Jameis Winston put on a
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: typical Jameis Winston performance today, right? And if there's one
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: thing that I have learned from watching the recaps of
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: this game and just kind of turning around and being
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: able to go back through other people who have, you know,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: NFL and I get to watch the games through there
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: at work because God bless you individuals. The Giants defense
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: is a nightmare.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: So Abdul Carter is finally emerging or something?
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: It's Arvel Reese, brother. Arvel Reese has been the star
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: of the show. Because some stats here. This is his
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: final stat line against the Cardinals, okay? 66 total defensive snaps.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Nine total tackles. Three passes defended. Five stops. One interception.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: All of those led the team. Oh, wow. only allowed
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: six receptions for a total of 36 yards.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: And we really thought this team was done with Jackson
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: Dark on her. And lo and behold, another team, Brandon Dock,
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: will go 0-17, leading their division.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just sitting over here going like, well, first
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: of all, this John's defense looks kind of scary because
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: you guys remember the other scary John's player that wore
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: a number in the 50s?
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: Lawrence Taylor.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Lawrence Taylor. This man's looking kind of scary. And then
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: at the same time, in that same regards, you have
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Deontay Banks who put on a masterclass as well. Four
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: passes defended, three breakups, only three receptions that were allowed
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: for over eight. Sorry, three receptions allowed over eight targets.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: 19 total yards allowed. And whenever his area was targeted previously,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: by Jacoby Brissett allowed a 45.8 passer rating and had
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: the game-winning pick six.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't really game-winning.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's deep ceiling. It was the game was
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: already over.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: He just did it because he wanted to show off.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't fucking run it back to what do you mean?
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: If I have an option to run that bitch into
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the end zone, the game over girl, I'm taking that
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: thing for a TD. But yeah, no.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: I I'd probably do the same. I'd probably take it.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: This is my moment. Yeah. But like going back to
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: going back to our Val Reese, remember this man's only
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: a rookie. He is the first rookie linebacker in 20
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: years to have nine or more tackles, one or more
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: interceptions and three PBUs in a single game.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy. And yeah, I also pointed out... You
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: guys picked the Cardinals to win, and I was the
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: only one to pick the Giants.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, you were the only one to pick the Giants, but...
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Hoping it would be a Trey McBride show.
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, it is a Trey McBride show.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: It is. Don't worry. It is. No, it was not. No,
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: it wasn't.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Three receptions for... Or seven receptions for 31 yards. It
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: was definitely not the Trey McBride show.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: No, it was, because he caught an F-bomb from a ref. Oh,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: that's fine, too. That's fine. Fuck!
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: That's funny.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: I did catch that too.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: That's funny.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: Like, what is William at the rest? Like, what did
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: Trevor bring to you?
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Also, one of the things that I really like seeing,
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if you guys really paid attention
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: to this or not, is, and this is coming from
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: someone who has played football before. Like, I don't know
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: if you guys have played your own youth leagues or
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: if you played in school or anything like that yourselves.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: But I personally like really watching pass protection from players
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: who don't typically pass protect. Example being Cam Scataboo.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: That man is a fucking psychopath on pass protection.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: This man is pancaking everybody into the ground. And it's
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: the funniest thing I've ever seen. Because he's just like,
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: nah man, fuck you.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: And just.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: it just like runs into a fucking light pole they're
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: like all right if i'm going down you're going down with.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: Me bitch but you ain't getting past me hey that's
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: the winning mentality at least i.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Love it i love it you know my neighbors.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Huh go you talk about many neighbors because.
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah also to malik neighbors takes receptions 112 receiving yards
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: and a TD. Malachi Fields has a TD. Theo Johnson
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: has a TD.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: An all-around decent receiving performance. Only 87 rushing yards for
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: New York, though. But Jacoby Brissett just looked really bad.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: He looked really bad.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: We talked about Carson Beck in the Hall of Fame
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: game all that time ago. When's the time for the
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: Cardinals to start experimenting with Carson Beck?
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: I think it depends on how they play next week, too.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: But when I say them, I mean the Arizona Cardinals,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: because next week they do play the Lions. And we'll
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: kind of touch more on that later, too. But if
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: they don't improve, I definitely think this could be the
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Carson Beck show. there's not really a good spot to
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: fit him in because the Cardinals go Lions, Rams, Broncos, Cowboys,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Seahawks in that order. So there's not really a good
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: slot to fit him in there. At least Marvin Harrison
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: got a touchdown. Yeah, he got a touchdown on one
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: of the leagues that I actually decided to bench him in. Yay!
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: It's fine. It's fine. He had one catch that happened
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: to be a TD. Also, as far as the Giants
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: are concerned, Tyrone Tracy can't hang on to the football,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: but that's okay because he only had one carry. So
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: he didn't have, he was not given an opportunity to
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: fumble the football.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, somebody did though. That didn't even Najee Harris.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: It was the Najee Harris. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Also fun fact.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Do we remember?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I think it was last week or the week before
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: somewhere along there, the giants released Odell Beckham jr. And
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: they signed Braxton Berrios. Well, now Braxton Berrios is going
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: under season-ending IR for a lower leg injury he suffered
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. So what depth does this receiving core have
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: for the Giants? The answer is zero. So where do
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: they go from here?
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got Darnell Mooney, so....
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney was targeted twice and didn't catch anything.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So he's doing exactly what he did in Atlanta.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Like, who are our free agent wide receivers right now?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill's going back to the Chiefs. I'm
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: calling it right now. Tyreek Hill's going back to the Chiefs.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: Any closing thoughts, Talon?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, that referee deserved to be suspended for two games.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: For sure. I mean, they can always sign Darius Slayton
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: or DeAndre Hopkins.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: I need to point out again, Hopkins is coaching a
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: George Tech.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think Nuke is coming back to the league.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Teddy Bridgewater quit coaching like a middle school or high
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: school and came back for a short period of time,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: then said, nah, fuck you, never mind.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason why he went back to the NFL
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: was also because he got suspended in Florida because he
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: was illegally providing benefits to his players, and the benefits
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: were car rides to the game and meals.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: He got suspended for that?
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, imagine getting suspended for being a good person. What
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: is wrong with society?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people thought... People were like, oh, it's an unfair
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: advantage because he has all this money.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: That's an advantage?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: That's just... What? Yeah, like, he got suspended for giving
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: his players a car ride. Obviously, nothing has happened. I
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: do understand the kind of stigma around that. I do.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: I get it. It's a weird world in today's society.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: It truly is. But paying for them to eat and
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: getting in trouble for it, that's kind of crazy to me.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so see, they suspended him because I got the
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: article online. Here, so you got, they suspended him to
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: reveal that he spent $ 700 a week on Uber rides.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: He also spent $ 14, 000 for a four-night preseason camp, $ 9, 500
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: on clothing for the team, $ 1, 300 per week for post-game
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: recovery trucks, and $ 2, 200 for pre-game meals.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: And you're meaning to tell me that you want to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: just get him in trouble for doing good?
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for being a good person.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: This world is truly evil.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I can tell you, I can tell you again,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: that kind of was truly evil. Uh, let's talk about
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: the Titans and the Ravens Nova. I, I mean, I
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: don't have much notes on this one.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: This is more of a quiet game, but I have
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: my concerns out there. This one, especially after what happened
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: in the second half. So first quarter, second quarter passed
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: on really good. Other than the Tony Pollard touchdown in
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: the first quarter by the Titans, which, uh, yeah, he,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: The Titans are slowly getting there with a rushing attack
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: with Tony Pollard. Then Lamar Jackson came alive. You know,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: he had that touchdown to Zay Flowers. Then he found
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: Mark Andrews in the back of the end zone second quarter.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: And then, for God's sake, you guys have to respect
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: Tyler Luke now. He hit a 64-yarder on M &
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: T Bank before halftime. 64! I want that to sink
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: in with you two first.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, a 64-yard kick? That is... That's pretty damn
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: good considering the fact that for the longest time, Nova,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: you were advocating for any other kicker in the league
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: instead of Tyler Luke. Except maybe one specific kicker that
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: used to kick in Baltimore.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but then it was mostly bad news. Lamar Jackson
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: leaves the game with an ankle injury, so we had
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: to put in Tyler Huntley. I mean, I didn't think
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: Huntley played terrible, but the issue is it's like, The
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: offense was just flat. They didn't really do much with Huntley.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Derrick Henry was any stuffed. Our receiver game was really
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: not benefiting. We actually had a couple of injuries as well.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Hold on.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: I need to put this up in the freaking thing.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: Where are you? Oh, yeah. Durham Smythe tore his Achilles.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: Marlon Humphrey leaves on a cart. Lamar Jackson's out with
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: an ankle injury in the second quarter. So for some reason,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: we allowed the Titans back in this game. Ken Ward
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: just kept fighting Carmel to hate all game. He eventually
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: got that touchdown. And suddenly I'm like, oh, please don't
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: do this again to me. We've been through it already.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: We faintly recovered the onside kick. Ravens escape with a win,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: but this was ugly to say the least.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was an ugly game for Baltimore. I mean,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I understand why you guys kept Lamar out of the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: second half because you're just like, okay, I mean, it's
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: the Titans. We still partly can't be that bad.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's, it could, I don't think, I don't
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: think Tyler Huntley did terrible. It was like the office
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: was a slot.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: It could have been worse. You could have had Cooper
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: rush again.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Don't remind me. We had to go for this before
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: you had talent. Remember that. Just remember that. Between you
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: and me, we went for Cooper Rush first. I mean, Brandon,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: he's got me there, right?
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just a bit.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: Never again. Tyler Huntley's the perfect backer for the team,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: but you can tell he was just not prepared for
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: the game. Kind of like Jameis Winston against the Rams.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he wasn't ready for it, but he might
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: have to be ready on Sunday. Because there's an outside
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: chance that Lamar. plays on Sunday, which, if you believe
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Brandon's favorite talking head, Nick Wright, because they did a
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: segment about this today on First Things First, where Nick
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: Wright talked about Ian Rapoport's tweet, and he was like,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: so I actually understand insider Twitter lingo. And he was like, Dusty,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: let me see the tweet. And they put the tweet
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: up there, and he was like, outside chance, meaning... He's
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: out this week. Again, this is Nick Wright we're talking
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: about here. So, Brandon, thoughts on Nick Wright's comment?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: I don't really pay attention to Nick Wright. I'm going
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: to be so, so, so for real with you right now.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Nick Wright, and I just kind of quit listening.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: I don't blame you. I don't blame you. But, yeah,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: mostly concerns on the Ravens side. Because not only did
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: we fall flat in the second half because of Tyler Huntley,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: you know, not expecting to beat her because of Lamar
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: Jackson's ankle sprain, which, by the way, is a day-to-day injury.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: So there's a chance he could play against Atlanta next week.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: But I don't think he should, to be honest, because
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: we have better things to take care of, like the division.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: But also, you want to scroll down and look at
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: the penalties? That's concerning that they got, like, 13 penalties
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: for over 120 yards. Like, good God.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: We're like one of the most penalized teams in the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: league right now, and this isn't helping.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is. That's concerning right there. 13 penalties for
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: 131 yards. It says.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: A lot as well, because most of our offensive lines decimated.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: We have Vega Ioane, our right guard, playing center because
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: we don't have centers anymore. So I'm happy for this win,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: but mostly my notes were quiet because, again, this is
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: the Titans we're talking about. The only positive the Titans
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: have is Carnell Tate. That's the only positive they got
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: out of this game.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in all fairness, I will say at least Cam
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: Moore didn't look like a– because, again, we said it
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: last week. He looked like a bust against the Giants.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Did you not
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: see his first throw?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: In this game? Yeah.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: He literally pulled off something that Will Levis would do.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Short pass, middle intended for Tony Pollard. Intercepted at the
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: Baltimore 39.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: You know it's actually more hilarious if you actually see
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: the video of that freaking interception it's actually more hilarious
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: when you see it.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: You know normally you would think they would have had
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: the like videos but I guess they don't have.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: It I'll find it hold on I'll find it yeah
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: so I'm over here reading up on the Baltimore penalties
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: this weekend from this weekend and according to an article
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: from ESPN it says the Ravens total 39 penalties this
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: season are tied for the most by a Ravens team
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: through four games since 2000. And Baltimore has a total
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: of 329 penalty yards this season, and it ranks behind
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: only the Green Bay Packers, who have 344 yards of penalties.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: In addition, the Ravens offense... has accounted for 61% of
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: the team's penalties with 24 penalties. The other 11, or
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, 11 of those are false starts that come
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: from the second most in the NFL.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: And that's something Jesse Minter pointed out in his press conference.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: It's like, they got to do better on the penalties
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: because this is undisciplined. This is going to lose the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: Ravens a lot more games than they'd like. And also,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: I did send a video for you guys to look at.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: You guys can look at it. Just use it right now.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: You can put it up on the screen.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Well, here you go. Listen to this one. At the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: end of that same article, a high rate of penalties
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: have produced mixed results for Baltimore. In the sixth season,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: where the Ravens have totaled over 120 penalties, they did
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: not have a winning record three times. 2005, 2015, and 2016.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: They won the AFC North three times. 2003, 2012, and 2024.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: And one year in which they had over 120 penalties
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: was 2012, in which they won a Super Bowl. Okay,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: so it's all over the place with the statistics. Nice.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: It's all over the place.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And also, I just saw the interception now, and
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: my God, that was a horrible decision by Cam Ward.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: That was absolutely horrible. It was dumb. You're getting sacked.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: Just take the sack.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: I want Brandon to look at it, because that's something
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: Will Levis would do.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Honestly, Brandon, he might be right.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, here we go. Hold on a second. Here it is.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: Also, is it saying something when Cam Ward for a
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: game had the same amount of passing yards that Lamar
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: had in a half?
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: What was this?
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: What is this?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: You tell me.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: No, I can't back up without logging into Twitter, and
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: I don't want to.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: Play the sound clip. Just play the sound clip for
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: that one, please.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: I'll do two of them.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: We're keeping a book right now, we ass.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, brother, this guy stinks!
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: That's pretty much all I have to say. Like, I'm
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: concerned for my Ravens, but the Titans, I mean, despite,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, nothing looks good from the Titans. The only
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: thing that ever looked good was Carnell Tate.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: This commentator sounds like he's about to just fucking bust
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: a gut laughing at this.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like the low end of the CBS roster
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: right now. Him and Luke Eakley.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of commentary, we'll talk about one commentary in
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but let's talk about Rams-Philly. Let's get
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: that game pretty quick.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. This is the last game with the
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: 10 o'clock window, I think.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: No, we never talked about Dallas-Houston.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, this one's up there, too, because Brandon has a
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: lot for this.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: I just want to make a real comment on this,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: because first of all, what the fuck happened to Jalen Hurts?
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: I hate Philadelphia teams, but hold on. Let me pull
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: up this post real quick because I forgot that it
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: was that close to this. Where is that news?
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Philly fans are going to Jalen Hurts again,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: aren't they?
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: No, don't do it. I want to do it. This
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: motherfucker really saw Jalen Hurts play How many passing yards
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: did Jalen Hurts have in the second half of the
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Rams game? Would you like to know the answer to this?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: Because the answer is 10.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: The motherfucker had 10 passing yards of his 93 passing
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: yards against the Rams. This motherfucker played so badly, Lane
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: Johnson said, I'm done, see you guys later, and retired immediately. Oh, yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: Lane Johnson posted his retirement announcement five hours ago.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, five hours ago on October 6th, if anybody, like,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: watch this.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: Like, this is supposed to be this weird high-flying, silly
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: offense with Jalen Hurts at the helm. Jalen Hurts. OK,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: and this is this is me genuinely being non-biased because,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, even though Jalen Hurts did eventually
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: end his CFP career with Oklahoma, he was at Alabama
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: for a while as well. So obviously I am very
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: familiar with seeing Jalen Hurts play in college. He was
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: a very good dual threat QB. in terms of the
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: fact that he could run the ball. And then he
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: also overthrew or just ground the ball ball into the
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: dirt a lot. Um, he was, he was not a
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: very good quarterback and this, and with Jalen was also
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: roughly the same time where we were going dual QBs with, um,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: Jalen and with to a talkie Valoa. And it was,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: it was not a good time for Alabama. It was,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: it was, it was not a very cash money time. Um,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is playing like I always thought he played
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: at Alabama. And that's not very good. I don't know
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: if this was just the Rams defense looking above average,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: I guess, for lack of a better term, or if
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: this was just Jalen Hurts just flat out forgetting how
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: the fuck to play football.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: Because remember, Miles Garrett's on IR, and I remember Aaron
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: Donald didn't play in this game.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: No, he didn't play in this game.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he didn't play in this game either. So
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: there was no, there were none of them, neither of them,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: neither Miles Garrett nor Aaron Donald in this game.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: And I'm sitting here going, what are you guys doing?
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, he got hit seven times. I have a
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: better question to ask. I have a better question to ask.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: Are we sure it's all Jalen Hurts' fault, or is
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: it Nick Sirianni with another terrible OC hire with Sean Mannion?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: It's just not even that, man. Jalen Hurts has always
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: been kind of and forth, except this time he's just
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: kind of been really bad. Like the years that he
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: played and actually did reasonably well, like Philly had a
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: really good setup of a receiving core. And, you know,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: they had a pretty decent offensive line. And again, like
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: at Alabama, because during those years that he was with
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: the Tide, our offensive line was not the best thing
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: in the world, even though we made it to the
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: championship game. It just, it wasn't, it was not the best.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: And it really showed much like it showed in this
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Rams game, how exposed Jalen hurts gets whenever you exploit
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: his offensive weaknesses. And like, I'm glad I've benched him
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: in fantasy, but, but he just, he wasn't very good.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Saquon got hurt. He'd Saquon fumbled the ball. Jalen fumbled
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: the ball. It didn't take big speak. I hurt too.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Tank Bixby got hurt, too, I'm pretty sure. Like, Tank
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: Bixby had 14 carries for 55 yards. Still not the best. Whatever.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 4: It's Will Shipley time. Yeah, it's Will Shipley time for sure.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: It's something time. Darius Cooper had their only TDs. He
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: had three receptions for 33 yards and two TDs on
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: seven targets because I guess Jalen Hurts doesn't know how
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: to aim. He looks like Jameis Winston did before eye surgery.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know. I don't know, man. Is it
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: time to sound the alarm in Philadelphia for Jalen or
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: for Nick Sirianni?
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: I think it's been time for Sirianni.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Let's be real. Yeah, it's definitely time for Sirianni. I
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: don't know about Jalen. I don't know, man.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: That year they won the Super Bowl. Remember, Kellen Moore
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: was the premier OC.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: He was. They had a really good OC. They also
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: had a really good offense. line. Like, outside of having
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: a good OC, that offensive line was actually very stout.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I actually have more concerns for the Rams because, like, look,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: they came back and won this game and made Philadelphia
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: right again, but Can we please talk about Matthew Stafford
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: not having a good game either?
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: It's not really hard to make Philly riot, though. But,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, whenever you're Matt Stafford having to throw the
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: ball 51 times.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's the same thing we said with
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. I mean, if you're throwing the ball over
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: 50 times a game.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: Arguably, 40.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: 40 is pushing. I'll say at least if you're throwing
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: the ball 50 times. I would actually go so far
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: as to say two interceptions might be minuscule.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: And one of them was to Cooper Dejean.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: But again, like looking at the Eagles again, I mean, again, yeah,
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts only had 93 yards. But again, look at
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: this receiving core. Darius Cooper, Makai. I mean, Makai Lemon's
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: supposed to be this great. Was he a first round pick?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, he's first round pick from USC.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, there's that. Dontavion Wicks is doing nothing.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Zach Ertz is proving that he probably should have stayed
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: on his couch.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: And then he has Barkley and Bixby getting hurt.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: And no Devontae Smith.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was injured for this game. I mean, it
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: might be crazy to say, but do you think the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: Eagles are missing A.J. Brown right now?
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: We're missing A.J. Brown right now.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be saying no.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: I miss A.J. Brown a lot.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: Actually, I have a better question to ask. Pukunuku was... Oh,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: never mind. Well, he had a rushing for two yards.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: So Pukunuku was back. But this was another great game
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: for Kyron Williams. And again, had to get bailed out
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: because Philadelphia just forgot how to play football. And Matthew
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: Stafford had a pretty bad performance, all things considered. I mean, yeah,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: he threw the ball 51 times. But how do you
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: not throw a touchdown?
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on. I really don't know
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 3: what's going on. But, like, again, I'm happy for the Rams.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: They won again, but... I can't help but think this
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: is so suspicious.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it'll... It'll be interesting to see on
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: what happens for both of these teams. But... Moving on,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: let's finish up the 1 o'clock window or the 10
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: o'clock window for Nova and talk about those....
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: What.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: Brandon, how quickly can we get through the Dallas Cowboys game?
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Do you think we can get through it in about
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: two minutes?
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, yes.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: I basically cannot.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: Challenge accepted. Challenge accepted. Hold on. Please pause.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, Brandon, if you're under two minutes, I guarantee
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: that I can't.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: So are we ready? I'm actually going to do this.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: I've got a stopwatch. So Dak looked like Dak. 335
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: in a score. This was the fucking CD Lamb show.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: 17 for 189 in a TD. RIP my fantasy game.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: Dak looked like the Dak that we kind of expected
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: him to be. Javante Williams also had a hat trick. Surprise, right?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: CJ Stroud actually kind of looked better. 21 for 31,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: 347 in two TDs. There's absolutely no fucking run game
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: in Houston. I don't know what they're doing. Arguably, there's
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: not really a run game. Arguably, there's not really a
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: run game for Dallas either, even though Javante scored a
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: hat trick. Nico Collins had his first good game since
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: he's been back. 17 receptions for 118 and two TDs.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: This is the thing that I was afraid of, you know,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: whenever anybody decides that they're going to play Houston. But
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: Houston's 0-4. What are you going to do? There's surprisingly
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: no interceptions and no fumbles by either team. So I
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: don't know what the hell happened here. This just decided
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: to be a fucking shootout. Like Brandon Albrecht misses two
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: field goals. They still win by four points. Kai Fairbairn
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: is Kai Fairbairn. He hits all his things. He's pretty
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: much the Mr. Reliable of the week to me, at least.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just feel bad for anybody, myself, who
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: had to play against CeeDee Lamb in fantasy because Mai
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: went up against CeeDee Lamb, Kenneth Walker, and Tech McMillan.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: So I lost. astronomically bad. But I really don't know
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: what we have to do here to get a run
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: game going in Houston, especially when CJ Straub decides that
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: he actually wants to play bad. Anyway, that's a minute
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: and 33 seconds, guys. How about you?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 3: I have my words and they're all going to Houston.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: And I'll start with a couple things here from Evan
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: JTV because he wants to get his opinions. He started
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: here by saying, 0-4 start after being considered as the
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender. The season's over. Fire everyone. Agreed.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: CJ Stroud included.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: He's not even having a bad season. What do you mean?
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: Burn a house down. Scorch the earth. Run it clean.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, again, Nova, my thing with it, it's shocking
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: how The Texans, I mean, they're 0-4, they're 0-3 in Houston.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: Their defense, this incredible defense is giving them 30 points
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: left and right. Like, it is ridiculous what's going on
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: with them. And the only other thing I can say
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: really about This and this is how crazy it is.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Do you know the Texans are higher in the power
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: rankings for ESPN right now than the New Orleans Saints,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons and the New York Giants?
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: Is that after this weekend?
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: That's somebody needs to be drug tested.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Anyway, continuing on, there's another step I pulled up from
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: QB Dobby on Twitter. Quote, As confirmed by our data,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: the 2026 Texans are the first team in NFL history
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: to go 0-4 without throwing a single interception over the
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: first four weeks. This, to me, screams extreme disappointment because
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: this is now the worst start probably in a while
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: for Houston. I mean, they started 0-3 back-to-back seasons, now
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: they're starting 0-4. With Jacksonville as high as they are, and,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: you know, for giving the inconsistencies with the Colts, I think,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: and I'm sorry to say this, Houston fans, your season's over.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: I do not believe you're going to do anything.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: This is the highest disappointment ever. You look at this
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: team and you think, this team should be much better
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: than what they are. I don't know what the heck
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: ESPN is thinking with the power rankings. I think they're
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 3: much lower. But then again, they still think they can
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: turn the season around, which I think they can, but
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: this is not going to be... This is a team
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: we're fighting for a wild card now.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: If they're lucky to even be And the wild card contention.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: 0-4.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: You're in Texas. And they very much like their barbecue.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: Houston is very close to stick a fork in them.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Because they're done.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 3: And the worst part is. Again, I pointed it out. C.J.
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 3: Stroud is not for the pick. So he's far from
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: He was definitely. Devil's advocate. He was definitely their problem
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: in their postseason run.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, I could give you that one. I could give
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 3: you that one. But what I'm trying to point out
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: is that despite being 0-4, CJ Stroud's been the least
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: of their problems during that stretch.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, five touchdowns, no interceptions, but only 1,100
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: passing yards. Again, I mean....
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: It could be worse. That's all I'll say. Because right now,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 3: the O-line's kind of selling. David Montgomery somehow disappeared since
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: week one. This defense is just disappointing because... Let's be real.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: A lot of fantasy owners probably drafted the Houston Texans
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: defense first.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: Hello. Hello, I did.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: What the hell is happening?
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, after that Buffalo game, I dropped their defense immediately. Yeah.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: Because I just couldn't trust it after one game. I
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: get it was Buffalo, and I probably could have. I
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: probably could have gotten away with it, but I didn't. So,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: I just got rid of it.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: Speaking of getting rid of things, you know who else
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: got rid of the ball a lot? Off the tips
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: of their feet?
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Who was that, Brandon?
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: The Dolphins and the Vikings. Let's talk about that one
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: for a second. Let's go.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: I have two questions.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: I have two questions for this game. First off, we
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: have to summarize this game in two words. I believe
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: the definition of it would be field goal. Ha ha
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: ha ha ha.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Will Reichardt.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: Shout out to him, indeed. Because motherfucker was perfect. As
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: long as this was from 50. Why could Kyler Murray
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: not move the ball? Second question that I have for this,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: and that first one was unrelated. What happened to Malik Willis?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 3: They had one person called back for illegal touching. That's
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: how they lost the game.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: Not even that, though. Nine completions on 17 attempts for
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: 85 yards.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: This is a Brian Flores defense we're talking about.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: And I think Miami finally got the memo that we're
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: supposed to be bad.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, they did. I mean, they could have. Minnesota
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: played down for sure. But like Ali Gordon had nine
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: carries for 100 yards in a score. He was the
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: only good thing about that Miami defense. He had more
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: rushing yards and the QB had passing yards.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not good. But, I mean, also in this game,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, it says something when Miami's offense blocks a
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: Vikings defender into the referee, and the referee goes after
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: the Vikings player and not the Dolphins player.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: Referee controversies.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: Look, I don't know what is going on with the referee.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, again, Adrian Hill got suspended for a game.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: He was the referee. And then, I mean, the NFL
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 1: Referees Association comes out and is like, oh, these punishments
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: are too steep for our officials. And it's like, too steep?
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: You have– look, I can understand thinking that Adrian Hill
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: being suspended for a game might be a little steep because, again,
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's the white cap. Maybe you could have
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: fined him a couple of game checks or whatever. I mean,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: I think he's– if I'm not mistaken, I think I
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: saw a report that his day job is he's an attorney.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: So I think– That's crazy. I think he can afford–
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: I think he can afford that. I'm actually about to
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: look it up. Adrian Hill– He earned degrees in electrical
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: and software engineering and computer science. So... Oh, he was... Okay,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong. He's an aerospace software engineer is what his
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: day job was.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: And he took action against the Vikings player that shoved
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: him because he didn't have the confidence he was pushed into.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: Then that caused a domino effect.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So unfortunately he's suspended for one game. And I,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: I understand like if people want it to be upset
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: over him, but At the same time, like, look, referees,
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, we get it that they are entitled
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: to some protection against these players because it's a tough job,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, like, ah, well, shouldn't have
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: yelled at the guy.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's always the memes about the refs being soft,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: but you know what's softer? The fact that the Vikings
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: are undefeated and their offense looks soft.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, their offense looks bad right now. If it wasn't
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: for Brian Flores' defense, you could make the argument the
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: Vikings could be 0-4 right now.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: Which, by the way, are we going to start opening
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: up the can of worms that they shouldn't have traded J.J. McCarthy?
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: That's too early for that.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's way too early for that. But at least
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, at least we know that this will
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: be in their future soon.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: And again, I like to point it out, the Dolphins
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 3: should have won this game, but again, that illegal touching
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: that threw it over their touchdown cost them at the end.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 2: I guess get good, I guess, Miami.
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: Man, just get good, Miami. And you know who else
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: is getting good? The Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Las
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders 30-27. Patrick Mahomes is back, baby!
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: Even though he only.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: Completed 50% of his passes.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: By the way, I pumped the brakes on that one
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: No, he is back. Because remember, Chiefs Dynasty is back.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: And everyone on social media is clearly happy that the
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: Chiefs are winning again.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: Because now the refs have his... You know what, Aaron?
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stop that sentence right there. Patrick Mahomes.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: Are you trying to get suspended?
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: Sure. Sure. Why not?
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: I will forever die on the hill that I stood
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: on at the very start of this podcast. And that
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is incredibly mid. 50% of your passes against
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: the Raiders. What more can you say? I genuinely believe
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: that if they did not have Kenneth Walker, they would
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: have lost this game.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: Would you agree that Mahomes is at the top of
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: Mahomes Mountain? Nope. Well, he is. Ahead of the Prince
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: and of Rockford.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: Why do you do this to me? Why do you
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: do this to me? God, I fucking hate Nick Wright
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: so much. God bless it. No, that's, no. I, like,
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: I truly, genuinely believe, like, completely serious to unbiased, I truly,
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: genuinely believe that if Patrick Mahomes did not have Kenneth
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: Walker to run the ball, that they would have lost
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: this game very, very, very easily.
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: Why else would they sign him?
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: Can we make the argument now that, and again, we'll
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: be talking about Bajon momentarily, but can we make the
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: argument that Kenneth Walker and Bajon Robinson should actually get
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: serious MVP consideration?
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: No. Why not?
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: Because the media is not going to give them the
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: credit they deserve.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not going to give who exactly.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: Because everybody is on quarterback drugs.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: But which quarterback is running away with the MVP?
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: Brock Purdy.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, he's right on that one.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that soon. Yeah, we'll get to that soon. But,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, a Kirk of Cousins over there. A first
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: of cousins with 52 pass attempts, 365 yards. Man, he's
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: looking good in Vegas right now.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: Not only is this the biggest surprise of the year,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: the fact that the Raiders are undefeated heading into this game,
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: but their plan is being accelerated. I mean, we all
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: kind of were surprised that Fernando Mendoza wasn't going to
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: be the first start for the Vegas Raiders. And it's
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: looking like it's going to be the best decision the
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: Raiders have made in quite some time, especially under Clint
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: Kupiak's system. Because you look at this and you're like, God,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: no matter what happens this season, I think the Raiders
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: could still contend for a wildcard spot because, you know, again,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: Brock Bowers is coming alive, so is Michael Mayer. That's
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: arguably the best tight end room in the NFL right there.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: But also, Fernando Mendoza developing under this system, this is
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: just going to help him more.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: I genuinely am excited to see what happens when the
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: Raiders go to Foxborough to play the Patriots next week.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, that the Raiders will beat them again?
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: Well, see, that's the thing. It's because, like, this is
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: a Raiders team that, honestly, I don't think anybody has
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: seen for a long time. And, like, I've got a
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: buddy of mine locally. His name is Scott. He is
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: a diehard Black Hole fan. And, which, by the way,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't know those existed around my neck of the woods. And, like,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins actually looks really good. I mean, you know.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: I bet you Tal has seen this Kirk Cousins.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: No. No?
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: No, not really. I'm actually kind of happy for Kirk
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Cousins right here because he is currently tied for first
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: in the NFL in TDs. I see you. Kirk Cousins
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: has 11 TDs this season.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: And again, I have to point it out, I think
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: the Raiders arguably have the best tight end room in
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: the league right now.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: Brock Bowers.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: And Michael Mayer.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: Brock Bowers.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: No, I agree. Is there any bad news for the
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs to take? I mean, Rishi Rice, I think,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: got injured as well. Tyquan Thornton also got injured.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: Tyquan Thornton called a TD and then turned around and
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: stood up to celebrate and then realized his ankle was broken.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: Dislocated.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: Either way it was not where it should have.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 5: Been yeah no and he was like oh shit yeah
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: and he'll be out for the rest of the season
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 5: which means uh Patrick Mahomes might be getting his uh
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 5: his speedster back.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah so like kind of going back to Kenneth Walker
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: can we just Obviously, last year in the Super Bowl,
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: we know Kenneth Walker is a good running back. To
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: be fair, we did leave holes for him to just
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: run through that you could fit a semi through. Kenneth
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: Walker has 537 rushing yards after this game.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 3: Is that the best in the league right now?
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: It is first place in the league right now.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: Yep, it is first place in the league.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: He is also first in the league in yards per carry,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: averaging 6.2 yards per carry.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 3: That's got to be the best free agent signing this season.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: Right now, it's looking that way. You are full.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: Games into the regular season, and you already have 500.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: You've already broke the halfway mark to 1,000. Yeah.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: At this rate, he might get 1,500 yards.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: At this rate, he might push 2,000.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 3: I think that might be too much to ask for,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 3: to be honest.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's possible at this point, but... I mean, hey, congratulations, KC.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: You beat the Raiders, and now we don't have to
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: worry about the Chiefs until next week, but we'll have
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: to worry about them with Tyreek Hill. We'll probably get
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: that notification sometime in the next, I'd say, 72 hours
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. If Tyreek Hill can pass a physical, I think
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: he'll go back to KC.
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, too. Last thing I'll close out on...
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: Where is Ashton Gentry? Where is he?
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: He's in the black hole.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, Kansas City bottled up the run game pretty good.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: They've historically had a decent run defense, which is why
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is over here slinging the ball 52 times. So, like,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to turn around and say, where's Ashton
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: Gentry after a single game against a historically good run defense.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 2: Let's see how he does against New England next week,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: and then we might can we might have a little
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: bit more of a data sample to pull from.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: Speaking of data samples, uh, can we close the data
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: sample on the chargers? Yes.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: This is arguably the worst team.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: In the league. Miami's worse.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 3: You want to know something funny about this game? So, uh,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert's first interception, he threw that one. And then
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: immediately on the very next play, Sam Donald froze a
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: pick immediately.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Back-to-back plays, back-to-back picks.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: Yep. Other than that, perpetual disappointment for the Chargers, per usual.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: Honestly, kind of a disappointment for Sam Darnold, too, arguably.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 3: I guess so, yeah. I guess that interception kind of
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: didn't help his morale.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: It really didn't. But at the same time, you know,
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: it was kind of a mid-game overall for him. I mean,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: you know, JSN did JSN things, but he only had
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: 76 yards this game. I mean, Jason Myers kicked a
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 2: field goal and three extra points. Outside of that, it was,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: you know, Emmanuel Wilson rushing, Rashid Shaheed rushing, touchdown, two
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 2: passing TDs from Safam Darnold to Emmanuel Wilson and to
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 2: Torrey Horton.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: I like Torrey Horton as a receiver. I'll be real.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: Who gets fired first? Jim Harbaugh or Mike McDaniel?
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: McDaniel.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: McDaniel.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: Talk about disappointing hires.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be Daniel being the first to go.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and to think, he was going to revolutionize Justin Herbert.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: No, he made him worse.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you ask my brother, Atlanta should trade
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: for Justin Herbert.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: At this very moment, I wouldn't think so. I think
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert might retire before getting traded. He might pull
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 3: an Andrew Locke.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: That'd be crazy if he did. But you know what
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised about? I don't remember hearing about anything
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: happening in the substation, Brandon, but you're the only one
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: who picked San Francisco to win.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's up, Mr. Irrelevant?
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: I'm actually really surprised that Broncos-Devils match just decided to
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 3: disappear today.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: I told you it was gone! I told you this
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: was the game where it disappeared. I told you this
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: was the game where they couldn't do that. They tried
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: to do it. They scored 11 in the fourth quarter.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: They tried to do it. And then Brock Purdy said, no,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: go fuck yourself.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: Easily the MVP frontrunner right now is Brock Purdy.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. Brock Purdy looks really, really,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: really good. Do you remember when I said Kirk Cousins
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 2: was tied in the NFL in TD passes? Yeah, Brock
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: Purdy's the other. Brock Purdy's the other. Brock Purdy also
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: only has one interception to his name. And Brock Purdy's
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: also first in QBR with 89.7.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: He's also the only other starting quarterback who's not gotten sacked.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: Has he not gotten sacked yet? He has not gotten
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: sacked yet. Nope, he has not.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's impressive that he hasn't been sacked in four games,
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: but that's a testament to the old line of San Francisco.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: Yep. 79 completions, 113 attempts, 70% completion percentage, 1,007 yards passing,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: 11 TDs, one pick, no sacks. 20 carries, 122 yards,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 2: one TD.
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, we did allude to the NFC West being
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: competitive as it is. Like, I didn't think San Francisco before.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: You know, I thought it'd be Seattle.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: I thought the Niners were going to do worse because
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 2: of all of their injuries. But I guess, you know,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: joke's on me. You know, thanks, Mr. Irrelevant, for being relevant.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: Or, as Brandon is wont to say, oh, Mr. Substation!
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: It did claim bodies. It did claim some Broncos. It
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 3: claimed Pat Bryant, Pat Sertan were the Broncos.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 2: Yup.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: No, it did claim Brandon too.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: Do what?
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're back. I was like, you cut off. It's like,
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: there's no way the substation claimed you.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 2: No, I started to say something and then changed my mind.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Pat Bryant got hurt. So did Pat Sertan.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 3: Pat Sertan's a concerning one because he's the cornerstone of
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: the Broncos defense. And, uh, It was a non-contact injury, too.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: Well, let's hope it's not as bad as we're thinking
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: when you hear those words in the same sentence.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: That's Pat Sertan we're talking about.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: Pat Sertan's pretty much an Iron Man.
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is an Ironman.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: But it's the last, sorry, the last update from it
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: was a day ago, according to his ESPN profile, it
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: says he is expected to misquote about two weeks. Oh, okay.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: That's not terrible.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: It's not terrible, but I don't know how much Broncos
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: defense can afford not having him. Especially considering he got
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 3: torched by Debo Samuel and George Kittle.
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is nice to see Kittle back. I'll tell
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: you that. What do you mean?
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 3: It's nice to see Debo back. Oh, yeah.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, Debo was back, too. I forgot about that.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 3: Remember how we all clowned on him signing that deal
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 3: with the 49ers? I bet he's happier now.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's probably happy about it now.
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just really surprised by, well, not
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: really surprised, but I'm very impressed, I think would probably
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: be the better term, at how the Niners have looked
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: this season. Christian McCaffrey, I think, is still slowly ramping
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: up because he only had 15 carries this game. And then,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: you know, for 52 yards and a score. And then
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: he turned around and had three receptions for 18 yards.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: So I think he's slowly being ramped back up, but
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 2: at this rate, They just keep doing what they're doing.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: They're going to be fine regardless.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: I think this is a random stat, but haven't the
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: 49ers made the Super Bowl every time they've made 4-0
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 3: as of recency?
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, LA. You're not going to be fans of
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 3: the 49ers anytime soon.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: Do-do-do-do. Let's see. Historically, prior to the 2026 season, the
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: Niners had started 404 times. Out of those four seasons,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 2: they reached the Super Bowl twice, winning it in 84
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 2: and losing it in 2019.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 2: That was a deep one. In 1990, they lost the NFCC,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: and in 2023, they lost in the Super Bowl.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 3: Both the times they made the Super Bowl under Kyle Shanahan,
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 3: when they started 4-0, they made the Super Bowl. So
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 3: is this a lock?
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: I won't go that far just yet. But what I
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: will say for the last game of the Sunday slate
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: before we talk about the Monday game and the predictions,
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: Carolina defeating Detroit 32-26. And, oh, yeah, Bryce Young is
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: looking great.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 3: Never doubt him again.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a Bama fan. I will always doubt Bryce Young.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: I will. I have reason to doubt Bryce Young. But
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: even still, I still don't think he looked that great
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 2: this game. He said, fuck it, Tech McMillan's down there somewhere.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: And Tech McMillan bailed him out on a bunch of throws.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: 14 receptions, 192 receiving yards. And two TDs on 16 targets.
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: It was a fucking career day for Tet.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 2: It's a career day for a fucking Panther.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it was impressive by Carolina's offense. Dave
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Canales is doing great for Bryce. It's amazing how a
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: benching fixed this guy.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: He got benched for the Red Rocket. He said, you
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: know what? How about we just not do that again? Yeah.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: Also, I mean, Chuba Hubbard, 20 carries, 122 yards. Like, look,
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: I get the Panthers don't have the greatest run game either,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: but when your number one back gets you a buck 22,
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: that's pretty damn good.
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good. And two TDs.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, that's surprising to hear because
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 3: I would have thought the Panthers would have kept Rico
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: Dowdle out there last year, but Rico Dowdle not having
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 3: a good year and the Panthers choosing Chuba Cuba Hubbard
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 3: is paying off.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's paying off. But I'll tell you who's really
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: paying off for Carolina. Fucking Devin Lloyd, man. My God.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: Why did Jacksonville not re-sign him?
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: How did Jacksonville let him out of the door? Like,
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: he is insane right now. And in a good way. Like,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 1: I respect what he's doing. I mean, outside of the...
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: 34-3 game, but that's neither here nor there because I
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: was against my team. But no, I mean, yes, I
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: was impressed with him in that game too, but I'm
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: impressed by just how he's playing.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would because this Panthers
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: team right now, if they could click the way they
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: did against the rest of the NFC, they could easily
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: win the NFC South because I think it's kind of
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 3: blown wide open. We don't know who to True contenders are,
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 3: but like, God, like the NSE says can be chaos
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: for what it is. But going to the Lions, it's
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 3: literally the same script. This defense can't defense. And Jared
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 3: Goss just trying to do everything he can to win
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 3: the game, but can't.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: If anything, it's more they can't play man defense. They
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: can play zone somewhat decently, but they can't play man
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: defense if they had a man to put on a man.
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 3: Look what happened to Ted McMillan. That's a good example. Yeah.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was just insane. Brandon, you're the Carolina boy.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: Finish off this game.
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 2: If Bryce Young just continues to trend upward and trust
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: in other receivers not named Ted McMillan, Carolina might actually
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: look pretty decent. They might actually win the South there. But,
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: you know, You have.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're bad.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: We're bad.
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 2: You have what?
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 3: Okay. I was going to say something. Detroit, they tried
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 3: trading for Jody Porter Jr., but Jody Porter Jr. now
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: a cowboy, and I think the Lions could have used that.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it would have helped that much, honestly.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: I really don't. Because it's going to take a lot
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 2: more than just one person to fix this defense.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all secondary woes, but we don't have woes
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 3: for our final game because this is a talent segment
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, what do you mean for a talent segment? What
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: are we forgetting? Oh, right.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to sit back and kick my legs
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: up for a bit.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: No, I'm going to be as quick as I can
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: on this game because... This was just strange.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: I need to grab something.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, God, no.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: I got to grab something here. Brandon, do you remember
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: a show in the 90s called The Wayans Brothers?
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, my dear Lord Jesus Christ. Yeah.
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Boy, let me get my belt up your backside.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: Let me get my belt. Let me get my belt
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: right here. I'm beating you with my belt. I'm beating
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 1: you with my belt. Like, I'm beating you with a
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: belt right now.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 2: Man, that was a man. That's what that run game did.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: That was what the whole Falcons did to the Saints.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: And we lost Zedaria Smith on the second play of
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: the game to friendly fire. We lost Jake Matthews probably
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: on that Bajon touchdown run. The first carry he had.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: And I was streaming this game on my birthday because
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: my birthday was this day. And I was like, please Atlanta,
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: don't ruin my birthday. Please Atlanta, just don't ruin my birthday.
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: Please Atlanta, just don't ruin my birthday.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 2: How'd that turn out?
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: It turned out great. But no, I mean, I called
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 1: it when I was watching the game and I said it.
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: The left side of the line, if Bajon goes in
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 1: between Jake Matthews and Matthew Bergeron, he was getting the
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: first down. I did not think it was going to
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: be a house call. I just noticed it immediately. The
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: Saints defensive front right there was so soft that any
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: running back could have made a first down if you
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: went between Matthews and Bergeron. And again, it's just Bajon
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: Roberts is the point where, I mean, Brandon, you watch
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: the game. Nova, you watch the game. Oh my God.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 3: Remember I'm in the middle of class when it happens.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: I don't have ESPN app.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: That's fair. But Brandon, I think you can agree with
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: what I'm about to say. It looked like Bajon was
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: jogging on that touchdown. Did he not?
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. It was like a TD.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, it was insane. And then Kendrick Miller, again,
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, that fumbled that Kendrick Miller had, I said,
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even sure that was a fumble, but evidently
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: it wasn't. The Bajon scores again. And then after Bajon
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: scores for the second time, it takes the Saints 51
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: seconds to score a touchdown. because their first touchdown was
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: scored in 51 seconds. They scored with 1457 to go
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: in the second quarter after a 44 yard catch by
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: Brandon's guy, Chris Olave out there, who I still maintain
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: Drake London is better than. The stats may say another story,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: but I still maintain that.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: It's okay to be wrong.
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, the only difference is that Chris Olave has
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 3: a Oh, wait, neither defense. Touchstones.
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 3: The only thing he has going for is that Chris
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 3: will have more yards than Drake London in this game.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But watching the game, I mean, it was literally
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: just straight belt to ass. And how about the law
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: firm of Robinson and Robinson?
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 3: No, you need to use meet the Robinsons. What are
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: you talking about?
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: But I don't want us to get sued by Disney.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 3: Fair enough.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, but yeah, no, this, this was just straight belt
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: to ask. And the funny thing was Zedarius Smith, even
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: though he was out of the game with that concussion
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: or stinger or whatever, which again, I think was precautionary
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game. There's a video of
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: him on the sideline, dapping up his guys and he's
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: smacking a belt on the turf of the Superdome.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 3: Right. Right.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: Like, it was picture perfect. This dome coming game again.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: Every person and their mother was picking the Saints to
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: win the game. And Atlanta just comes in there and
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: quiets the fuck out of the Superdome to where, like
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: in the Thursday night game, you're hearing ATL chants in
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: a visiting stadium. And not just any visiting stadium. The
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: Caesars Superdome. Like, did you ever think that you would
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: hear in a rivalry as deep rooted as Atlanta and
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: New Orleans is that you would hear the Atlanta Falcons
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: chant in that stadium?
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me, honestly, me either, but that was great. And also,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: isn't it great what happens when you have competent quarterback play?
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: Michael Penix Jr., baby, 15 of 20, 223. He still
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: needs to work on his touch pass a little bit
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: because he could have had Bajon for a walk-in touchdown
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: if he would have just put a little air on
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: the ball. But he did have two touchdowns. Beautiful touch
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: passes to Jahan Dotson, including a 31-yard touchdown where he
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: had Chase Young right in his fucking grill. And he
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: stood in there and he threw a dart. He also
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: had Kyle Pitts wide the fuck open on that touchdown too. But,
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was going for Jahan Dotson the whole route.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: And you saw Kyle Pitts. He was just like, that's
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: a touchdown right there.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: So.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get it. The Saints didn't have Pete Werner.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: They didn't have Caden Ellis. They didn't have Anthony Jennings.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: They didn't have all these defensive players. Again, Atlanta did
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: have A.J.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: Terrell.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: We don't have Jalen Walker. We don't have James Pierce.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: We lost Adarius Smith. We lost Jake Matthews. We had
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: to play Michael Jarrell in place of Jake Matthews. And
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 1: we put belt to your floor-de-lee-ass.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 3: See, I picked the Falcons to win, but I didn't
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 3: think it'd be dominating. Because now this is like an
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 3: indictment like i'm actually more mad about this is how
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 3: did we lose to the saints the way they're playing i.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 2: How did you lose to the saints.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you how because apparently our defense can't defense.
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 2: Defense you were really excited about the beginning of the
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 2: season But.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: Of course, Nova, Brandon was the only one to pick
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: the Saints, so let's hear what he has to say
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: about this game.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's right. I did pick off. Opening play, B.
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 2: John Robinson, 59-yard. Yep, nope, wasn't expecting that one. Sorry,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 2: I put a damper in my entire fucking plan. No, uh... Admitting,
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 2: Atlanta does look really fucking good since Penix Jr. came back.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 2: They look really good.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: They actually look like a football team.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 2: They actually look like a football team instead of with
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: Tua turned them all over. They didn't even play. What
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 2: do you mean?
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: They didn't even play.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. They look better without him.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: He wasn't even there.
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: That's fine. It was super rushed. That's fine, because you
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 2: see the Atlanta passing thing where there's a lack of Tua? Yeah,
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: that's my point. If Tua does not exist to the Falcons,
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 2: then they're fine. No, I genuinely... Man, I was really
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 2: hoping Tyler Shuck would sit here and just go the
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 2: fuck off. But throwing the ball 48 times is... a lot.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 2: 50 yards rushing, though, against the Atlanta defense is also...
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: Not a lot.
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 3: No, it really isn't.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: I do also want to shout this out, by the way,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: before we get into it. The Saints had 50 rushing
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 1: yards for the entire game. Do you guys know how
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: good Atlanta's rush defense is right now?
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, they went against Green Bay Packers defense that
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 3: couldn't run the ball.
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: True. But right now, through four games, the Atlanta Falcons...
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: are giving up 48 rushing yards a game. The next
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: closest team is the Jaguars at 72 yards a game.
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to last. Let's be real.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think so either, especially with who they're playing
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. Like, if they shut down Derrick Henry, I
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: will be absolutely flabbergasted.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I hate to say this because that's been
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 3: what's been happening as of late. Like, they've been able
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 3: to stop Henry. Like, the Cowboys and the Titans. Like,
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to say.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Derrick Henry very much enjoys playing against Atlanta.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: He loved playing against them in Tennessee. So, I think
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: he'll enjoy playing them in Baltimore.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 3: Let's go over to our Week 5 picks now, then.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 3: How did we do with our Week 4 picks?
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: For the Week 4 picks.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: In first place, we had... A tie.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 2: A tie.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: Brandon, how did you get 12 right?
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: Because you guys decided that you wanted to take this
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: seriously and actually keep track of it.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 3: So I said, fuck it. All right, we ball.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 2: No, I actually started picking serious. Because honestly, for the
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: most part, it was... be genuinely picking hey these guys
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 2: are the underdogs or hey i think that this is
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 2: actually going to be a blowout based on historical you
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 2: know number statistics and then i'm just over here going
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: you know what fuck it let's actually take this seriously
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 2: and buckle down and look at what i actually say
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: on the tape so you know here.
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 3: We go.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 2: Here we go i'm so glad you got that.
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Brandon, I mean, hey, you're positive now in
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: the picks. You're 35 and 29.
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 2: Which ones did I not call outside of the Atlanta
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: Saints game?
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 3: The Giants.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about like all of them, not just that one, yeah.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: So you got incorrect. The Buffalo game, the Giants game,
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: the New Orleans game, and the Vegas game.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 2: You said which one? Vegas, New Orleans.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Vegas.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, I couldn't remember what that fourth one was. Yeah,
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: I genuinely wanted the Raiders to win that game just
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: because I really don't like Patrick Mahomes and just because
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: I also genuinely think that the Raiders look really good.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: And even though they did lose, the Raiders still look
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 2: really good. Like, I'm actually scared of the Raiders for
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: the first time coming into Foxborough than I have been
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: for quite a while.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 3: As if you weren't scared of them last year?
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: I wasn't scared of them last year. Yeah, they won,
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 2: but I wasn't scared of them like I am this year. Like,
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: I really wasn't. They looked mediocre last year, and we
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 2: played down to their level week one of opening season. Like,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 2: week one games realistically don't mean a lot to me,
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 2: especially with, like, a new coach, new line, stuff like that. But, like,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: as of right now, we're going against a Raiders team
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 2: that has a new head coach, has a new QB,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: has a new offensive identity, has a new run game. Like,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: this Raiders team looks really good.
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 3: And again, Fernando Mendoza is going to be the biggest
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 3: winner of that.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: Mendoza is going to be the biggest winner. But, Brandon,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're still in third place, but at least
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: you're positive in the picks now. You're 35-29. That's okay.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 2: I'll be in second next week.
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: Nova, you are 39-25. Thank you, Jets. Thank you, Jets,
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: for that one. You're in second place. And then I
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: am in first place at a 40 and 24. I
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: actually just want to do the math real quick. So
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 1: we're separated by a game.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: So I am at a 63% for this season.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: Nova is 61%, 60.9.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 3: And Brandon is just above 500.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: 55%, 54.6% if we're being real. But let's get into
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: the picks. First up, Tampa Bay at Dallas.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 3: Why are the tickets $ 22?
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 1: Because it's Tampa.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 3: It's in Dallas.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 2: Pauls, are they really? Hold on, I need to switch.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 3: My page up.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 2: I've got my PC on. Yeah, tickets as low as $ 22.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 3: What is Jerry Jones doing?
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, we can take a quick look. Also,
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: that's on Vivid Seats.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait. What?
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: There's an error.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, $ 22 has to be an error, right?
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 3: Has to be. Jerry Jones is always money greedy.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: Let's say one ticket.
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: Standing room only is $ 22. $ 22.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 2: Well, let's see. Hold on. Let go of the freaking map. Jesus,
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 2: I hate technology sometimes.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking the Cowboys, by the way.
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 2: So, looking along the Cowboys' sideline, looks like the lowest
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 2: price is $ 474. Which is still not bad. I'm also
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 2: picking the Cowboys, by the way.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this one was like the easiest one
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: of them all.
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, for sure.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, so the London game is next.
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: The London game is next. Philly at Jacksonville. And you
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: want to know what Philly is doing for this game, guys?
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 3: Are they jet lagging?
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: They are practicing in Philly all the way until Friday.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 3: Give me Jacksonville, then.
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 2: Give me Jacksonville by two scores.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: Yep, that is exactly why I was going Jacksonville. Now
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: we go to Chicago at Green Bay, and this was
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 1: originally a 4 o'clock window game. We got a flex
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 1: schedule already.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Green Bay.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: Hello, Chicago, to beat Green Bay.
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 3: I'm picking Chicago, too.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, also picking Chicago.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: You're picking Chicago, Novo?
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am. But watch this be the random divisional
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 3: game that Green Bay finally shows up. I'll be mad
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 3: if that happens.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, watch that one. But next up, Houston at Tennessee.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 2: The Battle of the Undefeated. Oh, I'm sorry.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, the.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 2: Unwinning.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 3: Houston, you have to win this one. If you don't,
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go even harder on you.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking Houston. The fact that Brandon is so
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 1: quiet right now, Noah, means I think he's considering picking Tennessee.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: Give me Houston.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: I was legitimately considering it for a second.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 3: As I said, divisional games always end up being weirdly close.
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are. That's what I was genuinely trying to consider.
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 1: Are you considering Miami to beat Cincinnati, though?
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 2: Um, no. No, I'm not.
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me either. I'm picking Cincy.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: Nova?
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: Nova?
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: Nova? Nova, don't do it. Nova, stop. Don't do it.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 3: Hey, look, they almost beat the Vikings, okay?
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 2: The Vikings almost beat the Vikings. What the fuck do
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: you mean, Nova?
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 3: Here's my hot take.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 3: The Bengals win, but I think it's by a last-second
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 3: field goal.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 2: Last-second field goal feels generous.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: But at least he's picking Cincinnati to win.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 1: I'll take it.
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to underperform, though. I think they're
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 3: going to severely underperform.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: I could see that happening. Vegas at New England. Brandon,
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: it's your game, so.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 3: He picked against New England last time and got punished
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe if I pick against New England this time,
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 2: we'll come out with a win. I mean, I don't know.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: Fucking superstitions happen, I guess.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, God.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 2: This actually might be a hard one. Yeah. So with
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 2: the matchup predictor, going back to the numbers side of it,
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: New England is favored to win 63.8%. I think that's generous.
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 3: I think so, too.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 2: I also think so. Yeah, I think that's very generous.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: I genuinely think that if we can bring the same
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 2: Patriots team that showed up to Buffalo... and bring that
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: same team back to Foxborough and play against the Raiders,
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 2: then I think this is probably going to be a
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: 50-50 game. Like, this could go either way. I can't
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 2: go against the Patriots in this one. I can't. Like,
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. I know you can. Shut up, Nova. However,
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be close. I do think it'll be
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 2: close as well. I think if... I'm going to go
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 2: New England with this game. And I think if we
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 2: do win this game, it is going to be solely
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 2: because of our defense and not because of Drake May
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 2: performing well.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 3: No, I think if the Patriots win, it's going to
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 3: be a try to beat out Henderson.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 1: Admittedly, the fact that it's in New England is why
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: I'm taking New England.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 3: I remember last time Vegas beat New England in Voxborough.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 2: I thought we played that one in Vegas. No, that
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 2: was week one that you guys lost.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 3: What was it? 17-16?
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 1: 17-16.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we lost... 2025 season opener. Yeah, at Gillette Stadium. Yeah, okay.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: That was 2013. September 7th, 25.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take New England on that game. I'll
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 1: give them the home advantage there.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I genuinely think it's a coin flip, but I...
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go with my, this is more so
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 2: the fact that I really hope the same New England
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: team shows up that shows up against Buffalo. Also, as
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 2: well as the fact of the slight history that New
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 2: England and the Raiders have.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 3: I'm just going off recency. I'm just going off the
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 3: tuck rule. Okay. I guess I can't speak. I just
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 3: guess I can't speak. Not at all.
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 2: Continue.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: Well, Nova, let's get your take on the next game.
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: Minnesota at New Orleans.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 3: Do I want to pick the Saints after what happened?
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 3: Do I want to? Nah, I think Brian Forrest, Bowie, Tyler, Shuck.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 3: I think the Vikings win, but I think it's going
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 3: to be an ugly low-scoring game.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking Minnesota as well this week.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 2: I'm also taking Minnesota.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 1: Brandon is also taking Minnesota. The predictions are going quicker
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: right now just because it seems like all these games
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: almost feel likely to happen. Like Cleveland at the Jets. Brandon,
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: are you going to ride with Deshaun Watson?
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to burn your house down. I got it.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 2: Burn your fucking house down. No. I am going to
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 2: pick the Cleveland Browns to win this game. The Jets
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 2: are favored to win this game?
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 1: In what world?
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 3: What? In what world? I'm taking the Cleveland Browns to
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 3: cover and to win.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: How are the Jets favored? I get that home teams
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: get three points when the initial line opens, but how?
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: How?
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 3: I very much bet you to wait until the Cleveland
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 3: game ended. They were like, this is not sustainable.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 2: Neither was the fourth quarter comebacks by Denver.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: All right, next up, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh. This one I've
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 1: actually been racking my brain on.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 2: This one is a true 50-50 game according to ESPN.
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ride with the Colts. I'm going to
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: ride with Jonathan Taylor.
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 3: Do I think Steeler BS happens again?
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: It's in Heinz or it's in, it's in Heinz. Is
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 2: it Heinz field still?
• 2:13:21
  Speaker 3: I hate that.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: I hate that. They changed that name.
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Heinz field to Accra stadium.
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 2: It's Heinz field. So yes, BS reoccurs.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, you think CJ Watt just clicks the magic button?
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 2: I think this is the Steelers game.
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 3: Because this is where I like Stockholm, because the Colts
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 3: should beat Pittsburgh, but then again, as I keep pointing out,
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh keeps winning games they have no right winning.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 2: Also, hear me out here. This game is in Pittsburgh,
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh is currently 2-0 at home.
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 3: Sure, why not? I'll take Pittsburgh. I don't believe in
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 3: Daniel Jones.
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not even doing it because of Daniel Jones. I'm
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: going off of Jonathan Taylor, but I'm also going to
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: go off of The Steelers are a mess right now.
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 1: But I can tell you who's not a mess, although
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 1: this game might be a mess. Giants at Commanders.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: Give me the Giants.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 3: What's Marcus Mariota's status at the game?
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: He will most likely be out because of the MCL sprain.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: Give me the Giants then.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's definitely going to be out.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: It might be Ethan Kaliak-Manis. Alright, that is the end
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: of the 1 o'clock window. 4 o'clock window. Only three
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: games this week. Denver, Los Angeles.
• 2:14:50
  Speaker 3: Which Los Angeles?
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: Chargers.
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a no-brainer.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Denver.
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 3: This is another one of these divisional games that the
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 3: Chargers could actually win.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 2: Denver.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 3: Do I dare say it?
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: You're going to take the charges, aren't you?
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about it.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 2: Do it. Do it and be wrong. It's fine.
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm the only one who's straight away from it.
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 3: That's not true. I'll pick Denver.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: Admittedly, right now, the only games that have any sort
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: of difference so far is Nova picking the Raiders over
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: the Patriots and myself picking Indianapolis over Pittsburgh.
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: So, again, it just shows how week five is. Like,
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: look at this one. Detroit and Arizona. I mean.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 2: Detroit.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 5: Um.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 3: See... My issue is still the Lions secondary.
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: It's Jacoby Brissett, though.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 2: It's Jacoby Brissett, my brother in Christ.
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 1: Look, if it was Carson Beck starting, I'd give you.
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: I'd probably give a little bit of leeway.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young and Geno Smith. Yeah, they made Geno Smith
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 3: look good, but I think Detroit wins, but I.
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 2: Think it's going to be by a touchdown. Now, hold
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 2: on a damn minute. Geno Smith is not a bad QB.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 2: Geno Smith is not bad.
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 3: Did I say?
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 2: You said, and I quote, they made Geno Smith look good.
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 2: Gino Smith does look good. He's not a top 10 QB,
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: but he's a good QB.
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 3: That's why I said, hold on a damn minute.
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 2: Put some respect on that man's name.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 3: I don't respect the line secondary, which is why I
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 3: think they win, but it's going to be by a touchdown.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 2: ESPN has a 70% favor for Detroit in this game.
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's the start of the 425 window. Specifically speaking, uh,
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 3: This one's a hard one now. Niners, Seahawks.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: This one's a hard one.
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 3: I'm picking Seattle. I think they do it.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 1: Again, this is the toughest one.
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 2: Give me the Niners.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's who I want to go with. I
• 2:17:33
  Speaker 1: think I want to just ride the hot hand with
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Brock Purdy right now.
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 3: No, I'm hoping the dark side defense comes back.
• 2:17:40
  Speaker 2: I have no reason to doubt Brock Purdy until he
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 2: gives me reason to doubt Brock Purdy.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 3: And Mike McDonald will give you that reason.
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 2: I strongly doubt. that.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see. Now, at least for the
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 1: Sunday night game, I think it's very simple. I'm picking Atlanta.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: Nova's picking Baltimore. Who is Brandon picking? Or Nova, is
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: Brandon going to pull a Tom Grossi and ask for
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: the Meteor?
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 3: What is that supposed to mean?
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay. So, hold on. Let me.
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. I'm worried about this game, not
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 3: because I don't think we're going to win this game.
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 3: It's more so, how good will Tyler Huntley be?
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 2: Here's what I think. So, I have... Let me see.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Let me look up something. So, have we
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 2: established that Lamar Jackson is out?
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 3: No, he's questionable right now.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: Not yet.
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, so... So here's what I would like to do.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 2: I'm going to pull a talent here. And depending on
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 2: the QB situation, I reserve my right to change my pick.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 2: If Lamar Jackson plays, then I will pick Baltimore. But
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 2: if he is out with his ankle injury, I will
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 2: pick it. I'm picking Atlanta.
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 3: You really don't believe in Snoop Huntley?
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I will mark on the sheet Brandon Baltimore
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: with an asterisk like how I did for week two.
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 2: Exactly. And the reason for that is because like Talon
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 2: said earlier, obviously Lamar Jackson is the X factor for
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 2: this Baltimore offense. If they are forced to try to
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 2: make Snoop throw, then obviously I don't think that's really
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 2: going to bode as well For a lot of people.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 2: I genuinely, and I am sorry Nova, I genuinely think
• 2:19:41
  Speaker 2: that Snoop is very, very mid.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 3: Obviously he is mid, but he fits the scheme.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he does fit the scheme. And at the
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 2: same time, if you have a QB who you can't
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 2: really dedicate to throw the ball, then of course you're
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 2: going to try to run the ball down their throat.
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 2: And what is the yardage per game that Atlanta is
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 2: allowing in run game?
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: 48.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 2: 48. If they can echo the same type of run
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 2: defense against Baltimore and their secondary steps up with no
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson in play, then Atlanta wins this game fairly
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 2: handily without Lamar Jackson at the helm.
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 1: Sweet.
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 3: What the hell? I still think that's accredited to play
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 3: bad rushing teams. I still think that's the case. Green
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 3: Bay and Tampa Bay are not real.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 2: They're figments of your imagination.
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: We haven't played Tampa yet, though.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you haven't played Tampa yet.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm thinking the wrong game.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Atlanta has played the Panthers, who are giving up
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 1: the most rushing yards on defense. The Saints, who are
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: giving up the third most, but that's partially... Both of them,
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 1: I think, are skewed. The Packers at 100. And the
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 1: Steelers at 112. But now that's defense. On offense, rushing
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: yards per game.
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're both top five. Okay.
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 1: And then the teams that Atlanta has played, the Packers
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: are at the last. The Saints haven't developed it. Pittsburgh
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: at 95, and Carolina at 104.5. So, again, take that
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 1: for what you will. But let's talk about the last game,
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 1: and that is going to be the Buffalo Bills at
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams.
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 3: You know what's insulting? You look at the ticket prices
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 3: on that website. It says it's 54 for the Chargers,
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 3: but it's 146 for the Rams.
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's LA Stadium, not the Chargers.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 3: All right, fair, but I still think that's something to know.
• 2:22:12
  Speaker 3: Although I will pick the Rams to win, I think
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen's going to cost this game.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go Buffalo.
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 2: Are we playing Sofa?
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're playing Sofa. The Blazer Buffalo has been losing
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 3: as of late.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 2: Give me the Rams.
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Give Brandon the Rams and Brandon has his
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 1: prediction on the Baltimore game of which before we get
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 1: out of here and Nova and Brandon do they're ruffling
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: the feathers because I technically ruffled everybody's by defending Deshaun
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 1: Watson earlier in the program. Uh, We will be live
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 1: on my Twitch channel reacting to this game. Nova, Brandon,
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: and I will all be on my Twitch channel. We'll
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 1: have a link in the description below. So if you
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 1: guys want to check it out on Sunday night, feel
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 1: free to watch the game alongside us.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 3: Just keep in mind I might be a little late
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 3: to it because I might have an event on Sunday.
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: That is perfectly fine. But as we end the program today, Nova, Brandon,
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: you guys have to ruffle some feathers. So let's hear it.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 2: Nova, you go ahead and take the helm on this one.
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 2: I think I've done it first so far.
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 3: I think Brock Brady throws two picks and gets sacked
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 3: three times against the Seahawks.
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 2: Ooh. He really wants that thing. He really does not
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 2: believe in Mr. Irrelevant here.
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 3: No, it's not that I believe that dark side defense
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 3: will finally show up.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 2: The men's been hyping up that dark side defense. And
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 2: we're talking about the same dark side defense that lost
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 2: to Marcus Mariota, right?
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 3: I guess, yeah.
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, they did lose three games last year, to
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 3: be fair.
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 2: So, mine is more of a... Mine is more of
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 2: a long-term hot take, like towards the end of the
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 2: regular season kind of thing. So take for this what
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 2: you will. I like, so like in my spare time,
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 2: I kind of like running simulators, you know, for like
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 2: statistical and logistical purposes. Sometimes I use it for work.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I use it for football. So do with that
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 2: what you will. I think, and there was a sentence
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 2: that popped up for me. That I kind of have
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 2: current reason to believe, right? First of all, who did
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 2: the Jags play this week?
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 3: They play Philadelphia.
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 2: They play Philadelphia, okay.
• 2:25:03
  Speaker 3: In London.
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 2: In London. The Jags look really good so far, right?
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 3: Can we agree on that?
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 2: They actually look good.
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 3: Apart from Broncos double magic, yes.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 2: The Jags look good.
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 3: Except against Denver.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 2: No, my brother, this is a yes or no question.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 3: That's my exception.
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 2: My hot take is that the Jags are going to
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 2: re-crash as in, I say, I am referencing Blake Bortle
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 2: days for Jacksonville. The AFC Elite tier. And I think
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 2: if they keep playing the way that they're playing with
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 2: their defense, playing the way their defense has played, to
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 2: give Nova credit, outside of Broncos devil magic, I think
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 2: they have a chance to secure a first-round buy. I
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 2: can see it.
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 3: Okay. And here's the thing.
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 3: Brandon really is just not allowing me to speak. So anyway,
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 3: if that happens, surely Ben Johnson goes under fire for
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 3: his preseason comments on the Jaguars.
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see what happens with Ben Johnson.
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 3: Because remember, everyone's calling Jacksonville a small market team.
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, now that I got that done. So before we
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 1: end the program tonight, guys, I want to at least
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 1: run through the Barstool Big Cap computer power rankings with
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 3: Are you ready? Oh, God. Not this.
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 1: Well, listen to them. Juggernauts, Kansas City, San Francisco. Won
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 1: the game of the century, have to go here, the
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns.
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 3: That isn't the game of the century, but sure.
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl contenders, Buffalo, Seattle, Jacksonville, Chicago, Baltimore, and the Rams.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: Juggernaut on defense, offense, doo-doo, the Minnesota Vikings. Juggernauts on offense, doo-doo, piss-piss,
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 1: poo-poo on defense, the Detroit Lions. Again, this is a computer.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 1: Legitimately fun and good NFC South teams. Atlanta and Carolina.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: Can't figure them out, and neither can Sean Payton. The
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos.
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 2: Speaks a lot for the Denver Broncos.
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 1: Two of these five feel like playoff teams just don't
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: know which two. The Raiders, Patriots, Bengals, Steelers, and Colts.
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 3: I can tell you it's not the Steelers or the Colts.
• 2:28:10
  Speaker 1: NFC East champion, question mark, the Cowboys and the Giants.
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 1: Broken and potentially dead, the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 3: They got to fire Sirianni after this year at this rate.
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 1: This one's a great tier. Fuck the Packers. It's the Packers.
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 3: Even their own fans are turning against the team.
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 1: Fun and frisky sometimes. The Saints and the Commanders. 0-4,
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 1: but buy stock now. The Houston Texans.
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? Sell the stock.
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 1: The obligatory cannons tier, which is literally nothing but very
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 1: nice cannons. Week one was cool. Jets and the Cardinals.
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what have the Cardinals done since upsetting the Chargers?
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 1: Nothing. Ass cheeks, but at least they kept Todd Bowles,
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 1: the Bucs. mega ass cheeks by design the miami dolphins.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 3: They would have gotten to win but it's neither here nor.
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: There and the final one for brandon he'll love this
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 1: one mega ass cheeks and it's somehow getting worse and
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 1: football might be a worthless endeavor for the chargers and
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 1: the titans.
• 2:29:44
  Speaker 3: I put the tar chargers in their own tier low-key.
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for whenever this computer comes out with
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 1: either the Titans or the Chargers or even the Dolphins
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 1: where they're like, their fans should file a class action
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 1: lawsuit against the franchise.
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised they haven't.
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 2: Is this real?
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 1: Something big happening?
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 3: Ish.
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 2: Ish. Two hours ago, according to NBC Sports, the Patriots
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 2: brought in Jamal Williams for a workout. What?
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 3: I thought the running back room was good.
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 2: Brother, have you seen how our running backs have been performing?
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 2: The answer is not well.
• 2:30:34
  Speaker 3: I would have thought Stevenson and Henderson were okay.
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 2: They both have been kind of boo-boo lately. Yeah, no,
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 2: they brought in because I saw it on Twitter and
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 2: I decided to Google it. And I was like, oh, okay.
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 2: It wasn't immediately signed, but they also worked out a
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 2: few other players that same day. But yeah, we apparently
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 2: brought in Jamal Williams for a workout. Which is interesting.
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of like it too. I mean,
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 1: it's interesting. If anything, though, I'm curious how he'll be
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 1: in New England if he does get signed.
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 2: I wonder, too. But at the same time, our offense
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 2: would have to consistently perform well for him to actually
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 2: be useful.
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 3: And that's why I bring up the Henderson and Stevenson thing.
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 2: Even still, they didn't really... do much of that last
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 2: season too I don't know they kind of fell off
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 2: at the end so I'm kind of iffy on either
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 2: one of them at the moment it's very much one
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 2: of those things like with like when the Boston Celtics
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 2: traded off Jalen Brown to the Sixers it's one of
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 2: those things like whenever that happened I am visibly upset
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 2: because fuck you Brad Stevens what are you doing And, like,
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 2: now I'm more okay with it. But, like, as far as, like,
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 2: either one of these two are concerned, between, like, either
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 2: Henderson or Stevenson, either one of them could go, and
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be sad about it.
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't be sad about it either. But ladies
