- 0:22Speaker 1: We have a loaded show today so we have to
- 0:25Speaker 1: get to think about it Thursday here because we don't
- 0:27Speaker 1: have time anywhere else We have Booger McFarlane coming up
- 0:30Speaker 1: in about 15 minutes. Trey Wingo going to join us.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Willie Colon, both of those guys in our number two.
- 0:35Speaker 1: We'll discuss the ridiculousness of Sam Levitt suddenly being questionable
- 0:40Speaker 1: on the injury report for LSU.
- 0:42Speaker 3: We'll do that with Booger McFarlane. But it is a Thursday.
- 0:46Speaker 3: That means we have to think. So give me the imaging.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Think about it Thursday.
- 0:51Speaker 2: You know that segment, Talk About It Tuesday, on Hockman, Crowder,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and Solero? This is like that, but bigger and better.
- 1:01Speaker 2: And 48 hours later, this is Think About It Thursday.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Again, this is Taylor's attempt to counter-program a local show
- 1:10Speaker 1: down here in Miami.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Hockman, Crowder, Solero. What do you have for us today, Taylor?
- 1:15Speaker 4: So tonight is the debut of Highmark Stadium for the
- 1:18Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Yep, big game. It really is. Big game. Yes.
- 1:22Speaker 4: So this week for Think About It Thursday, I want
- 1:24Speaker 4: you guys to power rank these five things that you
- 1:28Speaker 4: would want in a stadium.
- 1:30Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:30Speaker 1: So we're power ranking five things we would want in
- 1:33Speaker 1: a new stadium?
- 1:34Speaker 4: In a new stadium.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:36Speaker 1: All right.
- 1:37Speaker 4: The first thing.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:39Speaker 4: Comfortable seats.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Comfortable seats. I'm just writing down comfy seats. Is that okay?
- 1:44Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:44Speaker 4: The next option, elite food options.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Elite food options.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:50Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Fast Wi-Fi.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Fast Wi-Fi.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Great tailgating setup slash bar options, like maybe if it's
- 1:59Speaker 4: in a downtown area, so tailgating setup.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Okay, location.
- 2:03Speaker 4: And then the fifth one is a massive video board
- 2:06Speaker 4: slash jumbotrons.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Video board. I don't like going to games, just so
- 2:13Speaker 3: we're clear, okay? Okay. Yep. But if I had to.
- 2:18Speaker 3: I love going to games. Do you really? Well, I probably.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:21Speaker 3: But you miss all the other games when you go
- 2:23Speaker 3: to a game, you know?
- 2:24Speaker 4: Well, if it's a standalone game like tonight.
- 2:26Speaker 3: It's a good game to go to. Yes. Right. But
- 2:29Speaker 3: you miss that Syracuse pick game.
- 2:31Speaker 5: Oh, no.
- 2:31Speaker 4: How will I ever recover?
- 2:32Speaker 3: It's a big one. All right. What was the last one?
- 2:41Speaker 3: Video boards?
- 2:42Speaker 4: Like a massive video board Jumbotron. Like, think the one
- 2:44Speaker 4: that the Cowboys have.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:47Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:48Speaker 3: I got mine. I got my power rankings. I want
- 2:50Speaker 3: to make sure I have the options here.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Yep.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Elite food option.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Yep.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Fast Wi-Fi. Yep. Good tailgating.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Yep.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Video boards.
- 3:02Speaker 4: Yep, and you're missing one. Comfy seats.
- 3:04Speaker 3: No, no, no. I had that. Comfy seats. Yes. I
- 3:07Speaker 3: wasn't finished yet. I wrote it down last. It was
- 3:09Speaker 3: a weird thing to do. All right, Mikey.
- 3:12Speaker 5: Considering he read them to you in reverse order.
- 3:14Speaker 3: I know. Well, thank you. Yes, that's why I said
- 3:16Speaker 3: it was weird. I'm thinking you tipped your hand into
- 3:18Speaker 3: your power rankings. That's what I'm thinking happened. Wait, you
- 3:21Speaker 3: have yours ranked already?
- 3:22Speaker 4: I have mine ranked easily. Easily?
- 3:26Speaker 3: Which is the least important of these things to you?
- 3:31Speaker 3: To me? Yes.
- 3:33Speaker 5: The video board.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Taylor, what is the least important thing to you?
- 3:37Speaker 4: A comfortable seat.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Oh, wow. No. It's got to be up there.
- 3:42Speaker 1: I'm going to go. I say video boards, too. Video
- 3:46Speaker 1: boards is number five for me. I don't care about
- 3:48Speaker 1: a nice video board. Just give me a video board.
- 3:50Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be nice.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 3:52Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. Like any video board will do.
- 3:54Speaker 5: If it's not the Jerry, like you go in, you
- 3:57Speaker 5: see Jerry's world. They're like, oh, that's cool. But I
- 3:59Speaker 5: want to watch the game. I don't want to watch
- 4:01Speaker 5: the video board.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Yes.
- 4:02Speaker 4: So on the contrary though, like if you go to
- 4:04Speaker 4: the Miami heats arena, those video boards look like they
- 4:07Speaker 4: have not been touched since that building was open.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:10Speaker 4: And it's almost detracting from, from the game day experience.
- 4:14Speaker 3: What do you mean?
- 4:16Speaker 4: It's like such a bad jumbotron that you're looking at
- 4:19Speaker 4: and you're like, man, you got to update this. Get
- 4:22Speaker 4: with the times, guys.
- 4:26Speaker 5: I assume if you're building a new stadium, the video
- 4:29Speaker 5: boards are not going to be, you know.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Zenith televisions from 1987.
- 4:33Speaker 3: If you put.
- 4:34Speaker 4: It fifth, you're telling your stadium creator, hey, it's not
- 4:37Speaker 4: that important. We're not worried about it.
- 4:39Speaker 3: It isn't.
- 4:39Speaker 1: You know, EP Jason writes in that Mikey really didn't
- 4:43Speaker 1: give this any thought.
- 4:44Speaker 3: It's a think about it Thursday, and you were just
- 4:46Speaker 3: ready to go. Boom. Yeah.
- 4:49Speaker 1: All right.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Hold on. Hold on. Just slow down. I'm still thinking.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Number four. For me, Mikey, I don't care about tailgating options.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Do not care. So that would be number four for me. You? Me?
- 5:05Speaker 5: This is going to surprise you guys. My number four,
- 5:08Speaker 5: elite food options. If I go to a game, I'm
- 5:11Speaker 5: not trying to have some gourmet meal. I don't really care.
- 5:14Speaker 5: If I go to a game, I expect that I'm
- 5:16Speaker 5: going to eat bad. If I'm going, I'm probably going
- 5:22Speaker 5: to eat beforehand. Yes. Sure, if they have something fun,
- 5:25Speaker 5: I'll get it. But I don't need elite food options.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Give me a hot dog and a beer and I'll.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Be all right. I'm shocked. I really am.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I figured you would be. Based on my knowledge. Because
- 5:35Speaker 1: I'm fat. Well, that's not why you like food. You
- 5:37Speaker 1: just happen to be fat. But you like to.
- 5:39Speaker 3: It's a vicious cycle.
- 5:46Speaker 1: I haven't been this shocked since the Cardinals strolled into L.A.
- 5:52Speaker 3: And beat the Chargers.
- 5:54Speaker 4: So, I'm with Mikey here, where elite food is four
- 5:57Speaker 4: for me.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Because.
- 6:00Speaker 4: You could prioritize food in a tailgate. Like, just because
- 6:02Speaker 4: you don't choose great in-stadium food doesn't mean you're not
- 6:06Speaker 4: getting great tailgating food beforehand. And, like, when I go
- 6:09Speaker 4: to a Yankee game, for instance, I'm clear bagging and
- 6:12Speaker 4: I'm bringing in my own food to that game anyways.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Speaking of the Yankees, judges heard again, huh?
- 6:18Speaker 4: I'm not prepared to talk about that. For my own
- 6:21Speaker 4: mental health.
- 6:21Speaker 3: Perhaps Booney was right, taking him out in the fifth
- 6:23Speaker 3: inning that one game. I mean.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Different injury.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Of course. It's always something.
- 6:30Speaker 5: At least he didn't do it rehabbing and falling down
- 6:33Speaker 5: like somebody.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Listen, I told you guys he gets injured all the time.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You came back to me with he's missed like four
- 6:38Speaker 1: games in the last two years.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I was right, though. I mean, he's injured again. All right,
- 6:43Speaker 3: number three for me is elite food. I mean, I
- 6:49Speaker 3: just need food options. I need good food.
- 6:51Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be gourmet food. I just want
- 6:54Speaker 1: to know that there's good food there, and I have options.
- 6:56Speaker 3: That's all.
- 6:57Speaker 4: A hot dog is a hot dog in almost any stadium.
- 7:00Speaker 5: No.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Exactly. I don't think it is. Oh, you disagree?
- 7:02Speaker 1: No.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Fenway Franks are different. Yes. They're different.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I will tell you, growing up, going to Islander games
- 7:08Speaker 1: at Nassau Coliseum out in Uniondale, Long Island, they had
- 7:11Speaker 1: beer dogs. And those are the best hot dogs I've
- 7:13Speaker 1: ever had. They dipped them in beer. And they were
- 7:15Speaker 1: the best hot dogs I've ever had.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Did you have to show an.
- 7:18Speaker 2: ID for that? No.
- 7:20Speaker 3: I mean.
- 7:21Speaker 4: It was a different time.
- 7:21Speaker 3: My dad used to send my dad. It was the 60s. Yes.
- 7:27Speaker 1: You can't walk into a stadium with anything anymore. My
- 7:30Speaker 1: dad used to walk in with an extra kid. We
- 7:32Speaker 1: had two seats and he would bring both of us.
- 7:34Speaker 3: How about that? It's a handy play. It is a
- 7:37Speaker 3: handy play. Yes. He would just grease the guy. All right.
- 7:41Speaker 3: What's number Mikey? What was your three?
- 7:44Speaker 5: So my number three, it should be higher, but the
- 7:47Speaker 5: other things are just more important to me. Number three
- 7:51Speaker 5: is Wi-Fi. I want good Wi-Fi. It's just probably the
- 7:56Speaker 5: other things are more important.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. It's so important to me. It's
- 8:00Speaker 1: number two.
- 8:02Speaker 3: I need Wi-Fi. If I'm at a game, attending a game.
- 8:04Speaker 5: I want to know what Taylor's number three is before
- 8:06Speaker 5: we get to your number two.
- 8:07Speaker 3: That's a good point. You're right. Spoiler alert.
- 8:09Speaker 4: My number three is the video board because at some
- 8:12Speaker 4: point I'm paying all this money to go to a game.
- 8:14Speaker 4: I don't need this giant TV in front of me.
- 8:17Speaker 3: All right. right? The game should be the entertainment, right?
- 8:21Speaker 3: It should be five, right?
- 8:23Speaker 4: I'm just looking up on occasion to make sure like
- 8:25Speaker 4: a replay or, or maybe the, the guess what ball
- 8:30Speaker 4: the hat is under, you know, that game, the shuffle.
- 8:32Speaker 5: I'm undefeated at that by the way.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Yes.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Are you really?
- 8:36Speaker 4: So I used to be really good at that game.
- 8:38Speaker 4: And then I think I got a concussion one time
- 8:39Speaker 4: at North Carolina. And ever since then, I have not
- 8:42Speaker 4: been able to follow where the ball is.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Really? You should get that checked out.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:48Speaker 3: You're talking about the shell game, essentially.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. I was the Mikey A of the shell game. Like,
- 8:53Speaker 4: I was batting 100%. Right. And then ever since I
- 8:56Speaker 4: got hit one time.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Yes.
- 8:58Speaker 4: Once I got hit one time, once you get to
- 9:00Speaker 4: where they stack them all three and then they go
- 9:02Speaker 4: to their new positions, I can't follow it anymore.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Batting 100 will get you sent down to the minors.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Mikey was right, 1,000. Yes.
- 9:12Speaker 1: So the video board's not important to you. Wi-Fi is
- 9:15Speaker 1: very important to me. If I'm attending a game, I
- 9:17Speaker 1: want to have fast Wi-Fi. I want to watch the
- 9:18Speaker 1: Red Zone channel. I want to check my fantasy team.
- 9:21Speaker 1: I want to see all the stuff that I need
- 9:22Speaker 1: to see on a Sunday.
- 9:23Speaker 4: If you're putting in bets, you want to see how
- 9:24Speaker 4: those bets are doing.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want it to glitch. I need good internet. Yes,
- 9:28Speaker 1: that's very important. It's number two for me, yes.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Mikey?
- 9:33Speaker 5: My number two is tailgate space. If I'm going to
- 9:36Speaker 5: a game, I'm going for the tailgate and the event.
- 9:39Speaker 5: It's a whole day. So, yeah, number two is tailgate space.
- 9:43Speaker 5: There's nothing worse than going somewhere and you get no
- 9:47Speaker 5: tailgating space.
- 9:48Speaker 3: Right.
- 9:48Speaker 1: You loved Kansas City. We went there for the opening
- 9:50Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago. We went to their
- 9:52Speaker 1: tailgate area. They were out there since 7 in the
- 9:55Speaker 1: morning for an 8 o'clock game.
- 9:57Speaker 3: You loved that experience. That was perfect for you, right?
- 9:59Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Yes. Exactly. Yes. What do you have, Taylor? What's your
- 10:03Speaker 3: number two here?
- 10:04Speaker 4: My number two, I am also going with Wi-Fi because
- 10:08Speaker 4: it is important to me, but it's not the end-all, be-all.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Right. You left out smoking sections.
- 10:17Speaker 4: What is this, the 1990s?
- 10:21Speaker 3: Mikey C has it number one. I need options, man.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I do. I need options. So my number one is
- 10:29Speaker 3: comfy seats. Same. Yes.
- 10:32Speaker 4: I think that's a terrible choice at number one.
- 10:35Speaker 3: Why?
- 10:35Speaker 1: When I'm at home watching the game, I'm comfortable. I'm
- 10:40Speaker 1: in a comfy seat. And if I go to a
- 10:42Speaker 1: game at a stadium, if I dare go to a
- 10:45Speaker 1: game at a stadium, I would like to sit... It's
- 10:47Speaker 1: something not as comfortable, but still comfortable nonetheless.
- 10:52Speaker 5: When you say comfy seat, I just have to make sure, like, A,
- 10:57Speaker 5: I'm not stacked up on top of the next person,
- 11:00Speaker 5: that there isn't anything digging into me, that I have
- 11:02Speaker 5: enough leg room to put my drink down. Like, it's
- 11:06Speaker 5: important to me, the space I get to watch a game.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Michigan giving me a bleacher?
- 11:13Speaker 3: Get out of here.
- 11:14Speaker 4: Oh, no, I like that. Because I think a true
- 11:17Speaker 4: fan experience, true games, you're supposed to stand for games. Like,
- 11:21Speaker 4: I don't really believe in the sitting. I hate when
- 11:23Speaker 4: I'm standing and the person behind me is yelling, hey,
- 11:26Speaker 4: sit down. I came to this game. I could stand
- 11:30Speaker 4: or sit if I choose.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:32Speaker 4: And most of the time I am choosing stand because
- 11:35Speaker 4: if you have comfortable seats, you're leaning into the laissez
- 11:38Speaker 4: faire atmosphere. And I want a rowdy atmosphere. I want
- 11:41Speaker 4: more bleachers.
- 11:43Speaker 5: Standing is a young skinny man's game.
- 11:45Speaker 3: I am neither of those things. I stand at home.
- 11:48Speaker 3: I pace at home.
- 11:49Speaker 1: But that guy tells you to sit down. Do you
- 11:51Speaker 1: tell him to stand up?
- 11:52Speaker 3: Yes.
- 11:53Speaker 4: I look at you funny. There's two outs. There's two strikes.
- 11:56Speaker 4: I'm standing up and I'm getting the crowd pumped up.
- 12:00Speaker 1: It's so annoying. We're at a football game, man. Stop
- 12:03Speaker 1: telling me to sit down.
- 12:05Speaker 3: You stand up.
- 12:07Speaker 5: I yell at Taylor to sit down, but it has
- 12:10Speaker 5: nothing to do with the fact of the thing.
- 12:11Speaker 3: It's just like, hey, you, guy, sit down. You're bothering everybody.
- 12:15Speaker 1: What's the stadium you went to where they tricked you
- 12:17Speaker 1: into thinking seat one was an aisle seat and it
- 12:19Speaker 1: turned out to be a middle seat?
- 12:21Speaker 3: That was Michigan. That was the big house.
- 12:24Speaker 5: I always buy aisle seats so that I could pour
- 12:27Speaker 5: my fat self into the aisle a little bit, have a.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Little more room. So I'm like, you know what?
- 12:32Speaker 5: Michigan i'm buying i know it's i know it's uh
- 12:34Speaker 5: bleachers i'm gonna buy seat one i'm gonna be okay
- 12:37Speaker 5: and seat one is in the middle of the section
- 12:40Speaker 5: the aisles are at like seat 16 and i was
- 12:43Speaker 5: like this was a this and it was a very
- 12:45Speaker 5: poor choice.
- 12:46Speaker 4: Right with the with the bills making their debut tonight
- 12:50Speaker 4: there's a chance that josh allen and highmark stadium become
- 12:53Speaker 4: the best player stadium combo in all sports i have
- 12:56Speaker 4: a couple of other nominees okay if you guys.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Want them oh wait we're still thinking hold on are
- 13:00Speaker 1: we gonna rank these two you don't have to rank
- 13:04Speaker 1: them all right just think about so you have josh
- 13:06Speaker 1: allen in the stadium he hasn't played in yet right
- 13:09Speaker 1: yeah the unknown of high mark okay the unknown of
- 13:11Speaker 1: high mark yeah but you know josh.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Allen's like an mvp of course yes yes the other
- 13:17Speaker 4: options i have pca and wrigley.
- 13:22Speaker 3: Pretty good mvp.
- 13:24Speaker 4: And the friendly confines.
- 13:25Speaker 3: And the friendly confines. Sorry.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Not a great stadium. I'm going to say it. I mean, historically, like,
- 13:33Speaker 5: it's awesome to be there. But, like, fifth inning, I'm
- 13:36Speaker 5: ready to go.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, that's any baseball game for me. Same with Fenway.
- 13:43Speaker 4: What about the combo Jalen Brunson, Madison Square Garden?
- 13:46Speaker 3: The best. Yes. I mean.
- 13:49Speaker 4: I think that might be the answer.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Yes. It's his house.
- 13:52Speaker 4: Because the Packers don't really have anybody with Lambeau. SoFi, well,
- 13:56Speaker 4: who really cares about who plays in L.A.? And then PNC,
- 14:01Speaker 4: they have Paul Skeens. It's like, not Cam Schlittler. Right.
- 14:05Speaker 3: You're right. No one cares about, you know, where they
- 14:07Speaker 3: play in L.A., who's playing in L.A. They just don't care.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Justin Herbert.
- 14:11Speaker 1: They should take sports away from that city, college and professional.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Booger McFarlane is going to join us next to talk
- 14:17Speaker 1: about LSU and the ridiculous report, the idea that Sam
- 14:21Speaker 1: Leavitt is questionable for this game.
- 14:23Speaker 4: But first, Taylor has a word from our friends over

- 15:42Speaker 1: Trey Wingo going to join us to start off hour
- 15:44Speaker 1: number two. Our thanks to Booger McFarlane for joining us
- 15:47Speaker 1: in that last segment. I am glad we didn't include
- 15:49Speaker 1: him in the Think About It Thursday. That guy doesn't
- 15:51Speaker 1: like going to games. He doesn't care about any of it.
- 15:54Speaker 1: He's got a nice set up on Saturdays with Kevin
- 15:57Speaker 1: DeGande and 12 televisions. Mikey, let's get to the top
- 16:00Speaker 1: five games of the week, or the weekend, I should say.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Taylor's going to take care of college. You and I
- 16:05Speaker 1: will take care of the NFL. Give us some music here.
- 16:12Speaker 4: My first one, OLI.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Well, hold on. You're going 5-4-3-2-1, so we're going to
- 16:18Speaker 3: go around the horn here, right? Okay. All right, so
- 16:20Speaker 3: you have OLIs. I have no OLIs. I have one OLI.
- 16:22Speaker 3: All right, go ahead. What's yours?
- 16:24Speaker 4: Florida at Auburn.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Nice game.
- 16:27Speaker 4: Early season who's who, I think.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Yes. Is it really?
- 16:31Speaker 4: I don't think either of these teams are who.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Right.
- 16:33Speaker 4: But one of these teams will definitely not be a
- 16:35Speaker 4: who after.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Okay. Put it on the poll, Taylor. Is Florida Auburn
- 16:39Speaker 3: an early who's who game? Ridiculous. I think you're right, though. Anyway,
- 16:46Speaker 3: so go. Number five, you.
- 16:47Speaker 4: Number five, ranked-ranked matchup, Houston versus Texas Tech. The reason
- 16:53Speaker 4: why it's five, Houston's still starting Connor Wegman.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Yes.
- 16:57Speaker 4: And I hate Connor Wegman as a quarterback.
- 16:58Speaker 3: But I like that game. I do. I have that
- 17:00Speaker 3: game circled.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Should be higher if Connor Wegman wasn't playing.
- 17:03Speaker 3: All right, Mikey.
- 17:05Speaker 1: Number five, your fifth most intriguing NFL game of the weekend.
- 17:10Speaker 5: Number five, Saints at Ravens.
- 17:12Speaker 3: Wow.
- 17:12Speaker 5: I want to see more Tyler Shuck, and I want
- 17:14Speaker 5: to see if the Ravens can do it against someone else.
- 17:16Speaker 1: Yes, great transition of music.
- 17:18Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Number five for me, 0-1 Packers. Stop it!
- 17:26Speaker 3: 1-0 Jets. Stop it! The Jets home opener. Le Fleu.
- 17:32Speaker 1: The Packers are 0-1. I want to see if they
- 17:34Speaker 1: go to 0-2. I want to see if the Jets
- 17:36Speaker 1: are for real. They beat the Titans.
- 17:37Speaker 3: That's not a real football team. The Packers are.
- 17:39Speaker 1: So I will take the Jets and Packers as my
- 17:42Speaker 1: fifth most intriguing game of the weekend.
- 17:45Speaker 3: It upsets Mikey.
- 17:46Speaker 1: He wants me to stop talking about the Jets.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Number four, college football. Taylor, go ahead.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Mississippi State at South Carolina. I think you can make
- 17:55Speaker 4: the case that these are two of the most electric
- 17:57Speaker 4: quarterbacks in all of college football. Kamario Taylor very quietly
- 18:01Speaker 4: putting together a Heisman-like season in Starkville, and then Lenora
- 18:05Speaker 4: Sellers at South Carolina.
- 18:06Speaker 3: All right. Mikey, your fourth most intriguing NFL game. Thank you. Music.
- 18:13Speaker 5: Number four for me is the best coach, the best
- 18:16Speaker 5: offensive coach in football going up against Ben Johnson. It's
- 18:20Speaker 5: Kevin O'Connell and the Vikings against the Bears.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Enough of him.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Jesus.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Seriously. Seriously.
- 18:29Speaker 1: It's not a quarterback whisperer. That means any quarterback would
- 18:32Speaker 1: be good if he was their quarterback.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Carson Wentz is my retort to that.
- 18:38Speaker 3: J.J. McCarthy is my retort to that. Sam Darnold.
- 18:45Speaker 5: I'll win this.
- 18:45Speaker 3: You're up. Kyler Murray. Got hurt. Same old, same old.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Whisperer did nothing. Number four for me. I have no
- 18:57Speaker 3: idea if Burrow's playing. He hurt his back. I don't know.
- 18:59Speaker 1: His back is hurt from carrying that franchise for a decade.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I have the Bengals and Texans. That's an intriguing game.
- 19:07Speaker 3: Number four.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Taylor, your third most intriguing college game. I love the
- 19:11Speaker 1: music transition.
- 19:12Speaker 3: Keep going.
- 19:13Speaker 4: SMU at Louisville.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Big game.
- 19:15Speaker 4: Big game in the ACC. Another ranked ranked. Louisville's loss
- 19:18Speaker 4: to Ole Miss might be the best loss in the
- 19:20Speaker 4: country so far.
- 19:21Speaker 3: Yes. Back to the NFL. Mikey, your third most intriguing game.
- 19:26Speaker 5: I already see what Taylor's about to do, and I'm
- 19:28Speaker 5: going to take Bengals at Texans is my third most
- 19:30Speaker 5: intriguing game.
- 19:31Speaker 3: All right.
- 19:31Speaker 1: I'm going to go Bills-Lions tonight. Both teams 1-0. This game,
- 19:35Speaker 1: it's too early in the season for this kind of game.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I have to brace myself. Put the kids to bed.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I'm going Bills-Lions, number three. Back to college.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Speaking of putting the kids to bed, LSU at old
- 19:48Speaker 4: miss in the grove that's two number two i think
- 19:52Speaker 4: there's a bigger game this week come on.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Come on man you can't you can't see where he's
- 19:55Speaker 5: going here yeah all right uh number two for me
- 19:58Speaker 5: yes nfl music yep Jaguars at Broncos. Was it a
- 20:04Speaker 5: fluke with the Broncos? How good are the Jaguars?
- 20:06Speaker 3: Let's go. All right.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Same for me. That's number two. Jags, Broncos, number two,
- 20:11Speaker 1: back to college.
- 20:12Speaker 4: My biggest game of the weekend, the undefeated North Carolina
- 20:16Speaker 4: Tar Heels going on the road to Clemson. Can North
- 20:20Speaker 4: Carolina turn out the noise around their program that is
- 20:24Speaker 4: all self-inflicted that Belichick might have created by just being
- 20:28Speaker 4: in Chapel Hill?
- 20:29Speaker 3: What do you mean might have created? He created it,
- 20:31Speaker 3: and if he loses a couple of games, he'll be fired.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Go ahead, Mikey. Back to the NFL.
- 20:36Speaker 5: Taylor telegraphed it at three. Number one game for me
- 20:40Speaker 5: is tonight, Detroit at Buffalo. These are just two juggernaut
- 20:42Speaker 5: teams that usually put on a display.
- 20:45Speaker 3: All right.
- 20:46Speaker 1: And number one for me is Monday night, Giants-Rams. Giants 1-0,
- 20:52Speaker 1: Rams 0-1. Yes, I desperately want to see the Rams,
- 20:56Speaker 1: who I said, Rams of the field.
- 20:58Speaker 3: I started that conversation. I want to see them start
- 21:00Speaker 3: the season 0-2.

- 21:33Speaker 1: Congratulations to Taylor for having a new Yankees podcast with
- 21:36Speaker 1: Willie Colon.
- 21:37Speaker 4: Just in time for postseason baseball in the Bronx.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Listen, I know you've always wanted to do a Yankees podcast.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I'm guessing the co-host you weren't expecting was Willie Colon.
- 21:45Speaker 4: But sometimes. do, the perfect co-host is the one you
- 21:49Speaker 4: least suspect. And me and Willie Colon doing live podcasts
- 21:54Speaker 4: from outside the Yankee Stadium on 161st Street, man, is
- 21:57Speaker 4: that going to be special.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Wait, so you have me flipping the bill on you
- 22:00Speaker 1: being live in front of Yankee Stadium?
- 22:02Speaker 3: I didn't know that was a part of it.
- 22:03Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe we could talk to some of the bars
- 22:05Speaker 4: around there. Billy's is a fantastic bar right outside Yankee Stadium.
- 22:08Speaker 4: Maybe we pitch Billy's, hey, we're just going to do
- 22:11Speaker 4: live shows. Willie Colon, I mean, that's a name.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 22:14Speaker 4: He sells himself.
- 22:18Speaker 3: It is a name. A name that's bigger than yours, yes.
- 22:22Speaker 4: That's what we needed, yeah. Maybe get Jabba Chamberlain, too.
- 22:26Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. Jabba's not happy with me. He's not.
- 22:30Speaker 3: And he doesn't leave Nebraska much, I've got to be
- 22:32Speaker 3: honest with you. And why would you? It's peaceful there.
- 22:34Speaker 3: He's farming.
- 22:35Speaker 1: He doesn't care. He doesn't want to interact with people. Taylor,
- 22:39Speaker 1: how do you feel once you put a bet in? OK,
- 22:42Speaker 1: I'm in a survivor pool and I'm thinking about including
- 22:45Speaker 1: you in said survivor pool. No, it's a big it's
- 22:47Speaker 1: a big pool for a lot of money with a
- 22:50Speaker 1: lot of big stars in it. OK, let me just
- 22:52Speaker 1: tell you that we were first invited into this survivor
- 22:55Speaker 1: pool when we were out in Lake Tahoe. So you
- 22:57Speaker 1: can imagine who is involved in this in this survivor pool. And,
- 23:02Speaker 1: you know, they go by code names. You never know
- 23:04Speaker 1: who it is. It's just it's just all nicknames. But
- 23:06Speaker 1: how do you feel about the idea of putting a
- 23:08Speaker 1: bet in? I've already made a pick for tonight's game,
- 23:12Speaker 1: and I don't like the pick. And I want to
- 23:14Speaker 1: change the pick. But I am very superstitious. And once
- 23:17Speaker 1: I put a pick in, I don't want to take
- 23:19Speaker 1: it back because I feel like it's bad luck. So
- 23:22Speaker 1: I took the Lions plus four and a half. And
- 23:24Speaker 1: then on the drive in, and this is how easily
- 23:26Speaker 1: I could be swayed. Someone on some radio station said
- 23:31Speaker 1: the Lions defense is so dreadful and Josh Allen's going
- 23:34Speaker 1: to carve him up tonight and put up 40 plus
- 23:36Speaker 1: points and the Bills are going to win that game
- 23:37Speaker 1: by 17. And now I want to change the pick
- 23:40Speaker 1: that I put in, which was the Lions plus four
- 23:43Speaker 1: and a half.
- 23:43Speaker 3: And I don't know what to do.
- 23:44Speaker 4: It's almost like when you when you make a pick.
- 23:48Speaker 4: You just have to shut off the rest of the
- 23:49Speaker 4: world because something about the pick, you trusted enough to
- 23:54Speaker 4: make the initial pick.
- 23:55Speaker 3: Yes.
- 23:55Speaker 4: And if you're not getting confirmation from somebody on the pick,
- 23:59Speaker 4: it's like, I wish I didn't even hear that because
- 24:01Speaker 4: now until kickoff, I'm going to be second-guessing myself. With
- 24:04Speaker 4: that being said, new stadium, Josh Allen at quarterback, I
- 24:09Speaker 4: think this is a route for Buffalo.
- 24:10Speaker 3: You are so right.
- 24:11Speaker 1: You have to shut off the outside world once you
- 24:13Speaker 1: put a pick in because you could– What you want.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Is people saying, like the pick, like the pick, like
- 24:19Speaker 3: the pick.
- 24:20Speaker 1: The second you hear anybody, I'm not even certain who
- 24:23Speaker 1: the person was. The second somebody tells you the opposite
- 24:27Speaker 1: side and gives you reasons you want to change the pick,
- 24:30Speaker 1: but you like the Bills, so you would.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Be that guy.
- 24:33Speaker 1: I'm going to change it. I'm not happy about it.
- 24:36Speaker 1: It's not something I normally do. And if we get
- 24:38Speaker 1: it right, I will give you... I will cut you
- 24:40Speaker 1: in on 20%. You know the league I'm talking about now, right?
- 24:43Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the one where you guys make a
- 24:45Speaker 4: couple of picks per week, and then you get point
- 24:48Speaker 4: totals at the end. The only person that I know
- 24:50Speaker 4: of in this league.
- 24:53Speaker 4: One of the greatest shooters of all time in the NBA.
- 24:55Speaker 4: That's all I'll say. Maybe he plays in Golden State.
- 24:57Speaker 3: All right. Leave him alone. You know some other people.
- 24:59Speaker 3: Chris Cody. Mike Ryan.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Chris Whittingham. There are some other people. Anyone who's been
- 25:06Speaker 1: on that Tahoe trip, I'm surprised you're not in it yet.
- 25:09Speaker 4: He either made the cut yet.
- 25:12Speaker 1: Why did you pull up short on saying who that
- 25:15Speaker 1: person is? I mean, there's a tennis player in there.
- 25:19Speaker 1: There's an odd baseball player in there from the Minnesota
- 25:21Speaker 1: Twins from many, many years ago.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Wow. It's a who's who.
- 25:25Speaker 4: But the Bills have won five straight against the Lions,
- 25:28Speaker 4: so I don't know if the Bills have their number
- 25:31Speaker 4: or are the Lions due?
- 25:33Speaker 3: Oh, man. New stadium, Josh Allen, bad defense.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Lions are lucky just to win that game, so they're
- 25:40Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about it.
- 25:42Speaker 4: Might have been a look-ahead spot, the rare week one
- 25:44Speaker 4: look-ahead spot.
- 25:44Speaker 3: But they won one. They should have lost. If they
- 25:46Speaker 3: lose tonight, it's not a big deal. They go 1-1,
- 25:48Speaker 3: go 2-0.
- 25:48Speaker 1: All right, I'll make you a deal. It's not something
- 25:51Speaker 1: I normally do. I will reverse my bet. I will
- 25:53Speaker 1: now take the Bills. And if I win this pool,
- 25:56Speaker 1: I will cut you in for 20%. How's that sound?
- 26:00Speaker 3: He knows what 20% is.
- 26:02Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go Bills.
- 26:03Speaker 3: Let's go Bills.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Let's go Josh Allen. Nobody circles the wagon like the
- 26:06Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills.
