• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my wife's car died and had to get towed off.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So she's driving my car. And there's a tire pressure
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: light that comes on. But it's come on since the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: weather changed.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. That happens. That's so normal. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And so I haven't fixed it. I don't need to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: because you can hit a button and it tells you
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what each tire's up on. So all the numbers are fine.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But I just haven't. turned it off and she's like
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it's okay because she doesn't drive the car every day.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Dude for a minute there I was so proud of
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: you I'm like you're starting to sound like me like

• 2:22
  Speaker 1: she's driving my car all good does she like it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: driving your car yeah yeah she wants one really yeah
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so we'll see you gotta get her one I told
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: her she can have whatever she wants I don't care
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: what she gets I was like just pick something out
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you can have it it does not matter what it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Is that's what you say that's nice that's cool You

  Speaker 1: You're not my wife.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: You have whatever you want.

  Speaker 1: Just pick it out and we'll go get it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: That's so crazy, dude. But I mean, it's got to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: be within reason.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: No, but she's a reasonable person, but it doesn't have
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to be within reason. Pick whatever you want. We'll go
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: get it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: If she says the Batmobile. You're getting the Batmobile.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously the Batmobile doesn't have a place for like
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a stroller in the trunk and a child seat. Right. So, yeah, whatever.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Someday. Who cares?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Is that weird?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, dude.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Like my wife would flip if I said, just get
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: whatever you want. She'd be like, what? Because usually it's like,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: she'll say like, oh, I'm looking at this. I'll be like, oh, no, no, no, no.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's too much.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Too much.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Tone it down a little bit.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Try something else.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, my wife's reasonable, and if she didn't want
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to be reasonable, that would be fine, too.

• 3:52
  Speaker 1: colors but i know an eggplant color when i see

• 3:58
  Speaker 1: wiener emoji yeah i.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Didn't realize it is the exact color of an eggplant

  Speaker 3: is eggplant purple i didn't realize that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's very feminine it is yeah yeah of course it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: something i would wear well hold on what do you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: mean by that I don't mind sliding down the feminine

  Speaker 1: side a little bit and wearing different clothes that you

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And I didn't say anything purposefully this time. You thought

  Speaker 1: it though. As soon as he walked in the morning,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, eggplant, gotta say it. I can't hold
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it back. You look like an eggplant.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Dang.

  Speaker 3: Thank you, man.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I got it at- I don't know where I got it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. Like, I don't buy my clothes. Like,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know the last time I bought clothes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So how do you get clothes?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: My wife comes home with clothes. She's like, I saw
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: this at the store. I thought you might like it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I love it. Free stuff, you know. A lot of
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: that athletic wear that we got at these colleges. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: still wear those. I still wear the crap out of this.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I was wearing those BYU shorts that we got from
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: BYU the other day. And some guy comes up and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: just yells something at me. And I thought... I was like, what?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It had to be something. Go Cubs, but they're not playing.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: And Caitlin was with me and she goes, what did
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: he yell? I said, go Cubs. And then that's all
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I remember. And then we kept walking and someone else goes,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: go Cougs. And I was like, oh, Cougs, BYU. He
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: was yelling at the shorts. And when that first guy
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: said that, I just looked at him like, huh?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And he had to feel weird because he sees someone
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: wearing BYU stuff. He probably went to BYU or was
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a fan. He goes, go Cougs. And the guy who's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: also should be go Cougans like, huh?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Did I remember we were hiking somewhere and I had
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a Cowboys hat on. My cap said Cowboys. I had
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: an Arizona shirt on. And then I had. like Cincinnati
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: shorts on.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And I heard the guy walk by me like, oh,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that guy's a little confused.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: You were Neapolitan ice cream.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So I've heard from a birdie that we're going to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: another game this weekend. I know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I just heard that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So my wife is like, hey, I'll go to the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt game. They're like, awesome. I'm trying to get her
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to go to every game. She will never go. And
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: so since it's here, she's like, yeah, I'll go. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: was like, great. And I'm going to buy tickets because
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not sitting in the Arkansas part because– away seat
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: tickets are like in the corner. They stick the away
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: teams in a crappy spot.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And so I'm just going to buy tickets. And she
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was like, who do we want to go with this?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I said, who do you want to go with this?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: She goes, what about, you know, Eddie's wife and Eddie?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I said, you can ask. I said, I would ask now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm not going to ask Eddie because it's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: going to seem like we're just plotting to go to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: another game.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I said, but if you ask Eddie's wife and you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: say it was your idea, there's a chance that they'd
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: want to go. And so she... texted Eddie's wife and
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Chevy back. She was like, yeah, I think they're going
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I was like, great.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Dude, it was amazing. It was the first time where
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't have to be like, all right, I got
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to wait for the right time to ask.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Make sure that she's in a good mood.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you didn't even know. I didn't even invite you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: because we went last weekend. Correct.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: So my wife texted me. She's like, hey, I got
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to ask you a question. Call me whenever.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know. Oh, no.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, great.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: She's pregnant again.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, no. Even worse.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: It gets worse.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: So then I call her and she's just like, hey,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: we got invited to go to the Arkansas game.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: No she said the Vandy game and I go oh

  Speaker 3: who invited us to go to the Vandy game like
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: that's awkward they're playing Arkansas she's like no no no
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Caitlin invited us and I'm like oh I don't know

  Speaker 3: went to the game in Arkansas yes let's.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Go so we're going dude yeah it's gonna be awesome
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: wasn't really my idea I know that's even better But
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: when she said, you should ask Eddie, I said, no,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: this is your idea.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: If I ask Eddie and then he says to his wife,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it's going to seem like you guys just got coupled
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in so Eddie could go.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: So smart, dude.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: It was the opposite.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Strategy, man.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Good job.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Now, do you think your wife had to think like, oh,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I got to catch Eddie at the right time? Good question.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Good question. I think she was like, I probably don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: even need.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: To ask Eddie.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: What about the kids? Who's watching the kids?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: My oldest son. He's 18.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: He's good. And he's okay on a Saturday night staying home?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: He's okay or he has to be okay?
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: He's okay. He orders pizza. He's a pro at it now.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: And then he puts on movies. Puts on one movie.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: If we're running a little late, you put on two movies.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, dude, babysitting is so easy.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Ugh.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But not three boys. Maybe now.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Just put on a movie. Even the babysitters that we
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: used to get when my oldest was younger, I feel
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: like they had it easy too. But we kept losing
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: babysitters left and right.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They were dying?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: They never were found?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Almost, dude. My kids would drive them so crazy that
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: they would quit. They would ghost me.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Well- It'll be fun.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Can't wait.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: We're going to win this game. Sweet.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: What's our situation?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It's not my school. We'll be in the stands.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: A field?
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: No, it's not my school.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: No free food?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, free food.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: No, we're going to a game like a normal person.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Dang. Oh, dang.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Haven't done that in a while.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I haven't either.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: No.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of Arkansas people that are coming in.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And so I liked it. work for the program or
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the administration. And so I'm gonna see them, but I'm
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: not asking them for anything just because it's kind of
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: awkward with me constantly complaining about that leadership. I just,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not even asking. I could easily get tickets,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but then you're in a bad part of the stadium
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: where they put the away fans.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Do they see your tweets?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Probably, okay.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I did not expect as many people did. You
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: were with me. Oh, every one. Every time we'd go somewhere,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a big fan of the show. I was like, hey,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen your tweets.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Keep it up.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Really? Keep those tweets coming. I've done 30 days in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: a row, every day on my Twitter, which is now
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: at Bobby Bones, where I am just reflecting on the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: last decade of incompetence.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Dang. Yeah.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Every day. For 30 days in a row. And people
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: love it because you are a voice for them. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: didn't know if they loved it or not. I don't
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: think I represent anybody except myself. But I get some messages.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But Twitter's weird. It's mostly Russian bots anyway.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But when we went to the game, dude, 20 times.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: And they would say like, hey, those daily tweets, keep
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: them coming. And I'm thinking like, what is he tweeting daily?
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: That's what he's doing.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Like three and four and five minute videos every day.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I just go sit down and talk to the camera.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I've seen a couple, but I didn't know you were
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: doing it every day. 30 days in a row. If
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I miss a day, I'll quit totally. I'm on a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: streak right now. So I'm like, I want a Snapchat streak.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to break it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: Do you, do you build this in your head throughout
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: the day? And then you're like, this is what I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: going to say. Or does it just like, I'm just
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: going firing away right now.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: The first couple of days I was just firing away,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: but then you kind of run out of stuff.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And so I keep a notes app and I read
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: something and I comment on it. And then I pull
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: up my notes app and I kind of get in
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: my head and then just do it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It's been going pretty good. Sometimes it's stupid. Like when
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: my car broke down, I was in my car and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: it was kind of dark outside. And I said, I'm
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: waiting for a tow truck. I'm broken down on the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: side of the road. This is a metaphor for our program.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So sometimes stuff like that would happen. That's organic. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That organic content. But they know, like, I go hard
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: at our athletic director without actually saying his name. But
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's been a leadership failure. Yeah. I actually emailed,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: because the board of trustees is who makes up at
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: a university, a public university. It may be private, too.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But the board of trustees are appointed by the governor,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and they actually make the decisions. And so I was
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: emailing the board of trustees just on the right school address.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Dang. I know.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Off from the website?
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty pissed.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: CCing them. I got a response. Really? Was it like
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a generic response or like, oh, nice. Yeah, we got
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a response. And I'm not going to say what they said.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But I was surprised I got a response. Yeah, same.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Because they were like launching a campaign, email the board
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of trustees. And I'm like, don't mind if I do.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You got it. Yeah. Yeah, it's just bad. Scan this
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: QR code. Okay. It's the worst it's ever been. Okay.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: So let's start with this question. This is mostly at you.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, Cowboys.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I thought it was because of you. Can you be
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a fan and still be a hater? Now, you love
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: But you're constantly criticizing them. You're saying it's over. Because
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you could say this a bit with Arkansas and me too.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You still complain, but you still wear the logo. Can
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you be a fan and a hater at the same time?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: What's the line?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I'm going to say no. Like, I do not like
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: our fans that turn on the team.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You do that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: No, I don't.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, you do. Oh, my God. Everybody, is he insane
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: right now? He's ready to burn it down every time
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he loses.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: When you lose, you're like, we're done this year. Guys, look,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I start the season very optimistic, right? This is just
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: kind of how it goes every year. And then after
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a few games, you start realizing that we're not going
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl like I thought I did two
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. So then you start just protecting your heart
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit, not by hating on the team, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: by being realistic.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: It manifests itself through hate. You may not know that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't feel the hate.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: You say it. Like, we suck. We're a joke. We
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: already guys need to work harder.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: But then a win will turn that around real quick.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You know, like if we beat the Packers this weekend.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: We're back, baby.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: So it's not hating your team.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: It's just being a hater. There's a difference.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I don't, I will never hate the Dallas Cowboys, but
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: you're a hater.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's all love.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like your wife, you love your wife,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: but sometimes you get upset with her. Sometimes you get
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: a little disappointed with her, but overall you love her.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: That's me and the Cowboys.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: My views don't reflect what he just said. You get
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: a little disappointed in there. That feels like.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, like you have little arguments and you're
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: just like.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: How you said it, it's like you're the head and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: nobody questions the head and you get disappointed in your
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: children and your wife. That's what it felt like.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I didn't say that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: You know what it felt like? You're the boss. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the boss is getting disappointed in his employees.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Not disappointed.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: You just said that. This is like when you say
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you don't hate on the Cowboys. You do. But that's okay.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Right now, I can be a hater towards parts of
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the Arkansas Razorback athletic program. I will never hate the team,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but I can be a little hater sometimes at parts
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of it that I think are affecting us in a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: negative way.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's not being a hater.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Could be.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You can be a hater but not hate the team.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: That's interesting. So I think you think he's asking, like,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: do you hate your team if you're a hater?
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Not necessarily.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I will never hate my team. I get disappointed with
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the team. I get my feelings hurt with how they perform.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: But I'll never turn on my team.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: That's not true. You turn on the team every three weeks.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Brandon, on the other hand, he will not tell people
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: he's a Cowboys fan if they're playing really bad.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: That is not true. You know?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: That's not true.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Why are you throwing him.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: On the bus?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have a camera on him and you're throwing
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: him on the bus.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Because he's a Cowboys fan. Mike's a Cowboys fan. He
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: will always claim the Cowboys.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I claim the Cowboys?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: He's looking to put this on someone else. He comes
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: on here every third of the weekend as a hater.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I don't hate. I love my Cowboys. I just am
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: realistic sometimes.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Sometimes. So did I answer your question properly? No, you lied.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Okay. Top 10 worst contracts in NFL history.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: Ooh.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Kevin, what comes to mind? Can you name one? Albert Hainsworth.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: At number two on the list from 2009, at the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: time there were the Washington Redskins, Albert Hainsworth signed a seven-year,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: $ 100 million deal. He played 20 games.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: He was the first 100 million guy, I think, too, right?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And not just 20 games because he's also had a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: terrible attitude. Yes. I think he was a bad person
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in general. Yeah. Okay. Tua. Not yet.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, dang. Because he's still playing.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: He's still in the contract. He could win a couple
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls in this deal.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: There's still a chance.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Gotta stop throwing those picks. Man, when he went in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and threw the pick in overtime, my heart hurt for him.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Dude, I'll tell you, as soon as he hits the field,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I start feeling like, please don't get hit. Like, don't
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: get hit in the head.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Like, no more.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: He didn't get hit in the head last year, so
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're a bit removed from it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he still has that. How many times has
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: he gotten a concussion?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I just felt bad for him. He goes in and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: throws a pick immediately.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Like, third play or something. Second or third play.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think third. All right, Eddie, can you name
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a bad contract?
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Zeke Elliott.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Is that just your heart?
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: You mean a hater? That was a bad one, dude.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Is he on the list?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Oh. Was it a bad one? I love that deal
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: because I'm a Cowboys fan. Real Cowboys fans love it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Anything else come to mind, Kevin? The number one which
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: should really stand out.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to think. This is the top
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: ten worst contracts in NFL history. To be fair, we
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: said we couldn't count two as because he was still playing.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: That's not accurate here with this one. The number one
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all-time worst NFL contract is playing right now. He's playing
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: right now. And he's in the middle of his deal. Oh,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: it's Deshaun Watson.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Duh.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Five years, $ 230 million, fully guaranteed. First time that ever happened. Crazy.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And he's actually okay this year, but what a terrible deal.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: And that contract was after his stuff.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Teams are fighting for him. I believe this is year
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: four of the deal. You may look that up, but
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I believe it's year four of the deal. If not,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that's terrible.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: If it's three or.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Two, if it's five, that'd be pretty amazing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in 2022, five years, $ 245 million.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The Broncos. That was hard to trade him. It was
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: hard to move him. Yeah, because they had to take
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: on that salary, too. And he went to the Giants
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and was still making a ton of money.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Steelers, yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Steelers?
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Both, right?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he was still making all that money from
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the Broncos, so they were having to pay him like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: five bucks a year. So they were getting a quarterback cheap.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: What did you say about it? Fifth year. This is
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the last year of that deal? That's what it says.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is in his fifth and final year.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Hey, things are looking up, Browns. Then they need to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: lose more and get a quarterback. What are they doing
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: winning games? Next up, it's a quarterback. The year was 2007.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: This was a six-year, $ 61 million deal. They should have
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: drafted Calvin Johnson instead. I was going to say, was
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he a rookie?
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: He was, yeah.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So it was Jamarcus Russell.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Jamarcus Russell. Oh, wow.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: He was out of the league in three years.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Ugh.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Dang, those rookie contracts were long back then. Back then
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: they were really long and they were really fat. Like
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I remember whenever maybe the quarterback from Oklahoma, Sam. Yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford. I think he was the last
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: really big one. Yep. And then after that, we got
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to put some restraints on this.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: At number five, the Texans, the year is 2016. He
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was a quarterback. Four years, $ 72 million. That's a matchup.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Brock Osweiler.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Brock Osweiler.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Four years for $ 72 million. And basically, they paid a
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: pick to a team to take him so they could
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: dump the salary.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Was it the Broncos?
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Did he have the Broncos?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Or he beat the Patriots.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: He came in as like a backup from Peyton and
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: beat the Patriots.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And it was like, oh, he's the guy. At number
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: six from 2019, New York Jets, a running back. Who?
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Le'Veon. Yep.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Four years, $ 52 million. He averaged 3.2 yards a carry.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: But also, the Jets sucked.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to be worth $ 52 million with
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: great stats and wins whenever you're playing for the Jets.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: They still suck. They still are pretty bad. Pretty bad.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: That was his second contract?
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Probably. Remember, he didn't play a whole year because he
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: wanted to be paid as a receiver and running back.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Nick Foles at seven in 2019, he signed a four-year
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: $ 88 million contract, and he went 0-4 as a starter
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: in that deal. I get that, but he also won
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl before that. But you should never get
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: paid on what you did before. He signed that with
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh I remember that those are bad days.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah number 8 is a quarterback that's playing now he's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: actually starting now but he signed a 4 year 160
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: million dollar deal and was released from the team Kirk
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Cousins nope really.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Baker released from the team 2023.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: A.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Quarterback signed four-year, 160. It was controversial that they signed
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: him to that deal because he was in his rookie
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: deal and they had to make a decision. New coach
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: was there, so the new coach had to make the decision.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Sam Darnall?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: No. NFC East.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, NFC East.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: He's starting right now for another team and actually had
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a pretty good season last year until he got injured.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And he's playing okay this year considering he's coming off
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of an Achilles injury.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Achilles.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Why am I blanking right now? I know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Giants?
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Was he a Giants player?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Cowboys, not some Cowboys. Giants?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Jackson, no.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Who was before Jackson? This team was influenced heavily by
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, who vouched for this person in the draft.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I think he was maybe drafted six or seven or
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: eight that year. I don't actually have that data here.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: But I know he was one of the early picks.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, Daniel Jones?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And he got released. That's right.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Dang, he was not coming up in my head at all.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I forgot about that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: You guys said Giants, and you kept moving off.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: We were on it. Who did the Giants have before Jackson?
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: No chance you get this one, but I'll give you
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: 15 seconds to try. 2021 New York Giants, wide receiver,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: four years, $ 72 million, zero touchdowns in year one of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that deal.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: New York Giants 2021, four years, $ 72 million.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Victor Cruz?
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: No.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I remember this guy not scoring. I just can't remember
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: his name right now. Kenny Galladay. Yeah, Kenny Galladay. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: then at number 10, five years, $ 60 million, was a
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: defensive back. He was cut after two years. And he
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: is also married to an actress, or was. I don't
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: know if they're still together.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Is it Nnamdi?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nnamdi Asamoah. Asamoah, yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: He was so good and then just wasn't. Five years,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: $ 60 million, and then got cut. Yes. That is crazy.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: On the Eagles super team.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: You guys want to talk about your teams? Everybody gets
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: 60 seconds. Eddie, this week, go.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have the Packers. We're playing in Lambeau. Should
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: be a good one. I think we can actually win
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: this game. The whole talk of Micah Parsons coming back,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: it's not going to happen. They're saying that Micah's not
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: going to come back for this game, which would.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Have been– I wouldn't either if I were him and
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: it were even– 70%. Yeah. Any other game, possibly, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you don't want to come back against a team you
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: were traded from and not be able to perform.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: And also, I don't know what this is going to
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: do for the Cowboys, but Jerry Jones says that our
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: defensive coordinator is now going to be calling the plays
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: from the booth and no longer going to be on
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: the field. He believes that if you're going to coach
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: the defense, you need to see the whole thing. Get
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: up to the top.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: That's not some revolutionary new theory.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I know but it's weird to me that you do
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: like as a defensive coordinator just stay at the bottom
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: like you don't see anything why wouldn't you want to
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: see the bird's.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Eye view because you want to be on the field
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and talk to your team yeah you can get the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: feel for the game get the little telephone but also
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: talk to multiple players at once I mean when they
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: show him on TV he's not talking to anyone he
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: looks sad I would also look sad yeah if that
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: was my defense yeah it's not even the coordinator's fault
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it's you don't have the horses to run the race
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: they can't.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Even like tackle no they can't tackle.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: I just want to say, unlike Eddie, I truly believe
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: in this defensive coordinator and his abilities.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: He's a real fan.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Not a hater, real fan.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Wow, listen to that.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: All right, Kevin, 60 seconds.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we got the Jets. The Patriots have the Jets
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: this week at home. Coming off a couple big wins.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: Drake Mays looking great. And I'm worried about a trap game,
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: of course. Because there's always these games where you're like,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: we should win.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's the Jets.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: We're seven and a half point favorites. But we've had
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: two very good weeks in a row in the NFL.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: You're like, it's going to fall at some point. Maybe
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: that's pessimistic of me, but that's the way I'm thinking
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: right now.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Also, didn't the Jets beat the Browns last week?
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Was that last week?
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: NFL, man.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Any given Sunday.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Game of inches. Is that what they say? All the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: same phrases. I think we win a game this week.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Arkansas does. I think we beat Vanderbilt. Although Vanderbilt needs
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a win to actually be in the mix. If there
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is a game that we're going to win, it's this game. So,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: feeling pretty good. I'd like to have Three wins on
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the season. I know we play South Carolina. That's probably
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the only other game we'd have a chance to win in.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But you never know. Game of Inches. SEC Game of Inches.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Any given Saturday.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Any given Saturday. Saturday for the boys.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: It's a night game, too.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: And I haven't been to the new stadium.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: No, neither have I. I haven't been to a single
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: game there.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Or the stadium that has new parts to it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, because it's the same stadium.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Renovated, but parts of the stadium. Renovated.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: It looks nice. Looking forward to it. And the weather
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: will be kind of like 50s. Perfect.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Upper 50s.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Perfect.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Dang, dude.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: So, are we wearing red?
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Just making sure.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: We're just in the normal. We're in Gen Pop. With
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Arkansas fans, right? No, we're in Gen. I don't even
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: have tickets yet. Oh. We're in Gen Pop.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Wait, wait, wait.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: You haven't got the tickets yet?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: No.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: What are you going to just get on?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Dude, both teams sucked. They're like a buck.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: What are you going to get on?
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Seat Geek. Yeah. Go and get tickets. Seat Geek.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Seat Geek.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I need to do that today, though.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. Mike, Texas Longhorns.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Optimistic, but I'm nervous.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: About?
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: The offense.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: The offense looked terrible last week. We're just struggling. Florida's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: also coming off a loss.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: That's scary.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Florida could lose three in a row because you know
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: they feel, hey, back's against the wall. Any given Saturday,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: game of inches.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: SEC, game of inches.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep, yep. The football season is heating up
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: and every week feels bigger with DraftKings. The DraftKings sports
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: app is now live in all 50 states. That means
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: from Texas to California to Florida, every fan is in
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: on the excitement. Follow the teams you love. Keep up
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: with the biggest games and experience the excitement of football
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: all week long. No matter which game you're watching, you're
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: always connected with one app. So this week, the biggest game,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Ohio State at Indiana. I did see where it's the
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: only time ever there's been, I think, a 20-game win streak,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and the home team is the underdog. So that game
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: is fun. The Florida and Texas game I think will
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: be pretty good. Mike, I think you're on to something there.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to play Florida this week after two
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: bad losses in a row. Mississippi State, LSU. Will be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: interesting because whoever loses that, that's an I quit match.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: You quit getting to even talk about being in the playoffs.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Missouri Ole Miss, Alabama, Tennessee– Tennessee shouldn't lose another one
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: because this is almost an I quit match for them, too.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Has to be. They suck. I thought they lost more
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: than one. It just seems like they've lost. Well, no,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: they lost in their hearts when Arkansas played them within
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a possession. That's what it was.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's what it was. They lost in their hearts on
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was a big fan. I just couldn't think
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: of what it was. And Notre Dame at Go Cougs.
• 26:52

• 27:53
  Speaker 1: All right, joining us now is Mike Sando, senior NFL
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: writer for The Athletic. You can follow him on Twitter,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Sando NFL. We had him on before the season talking
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: about quarterback tiers, which is always so much fun. And Mike,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: we appreciate you coming on. And I did want to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: start because I was reading your article about the unbeaten teams.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And so the three unbeaten teams left are the 49ers,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Chiefs. Each of them kind of
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: has their own story attached. Which one do you feel
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: like is the most undefeated, if that would be a term?
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: It's probably the 49ers at this point. I mean, going
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: into Seattle and winning, I think their defense is probably underrated.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: You know, they've had a number of injuries. And there's
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: some young guys there that people don't know a ton
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: about that I think are playing decently. Raheem Morris has
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: given them something. And then the pass game has been,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: you know, pretty great. Hit some bumps against Seattle. But
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: to me, they've kind of, you know, probably proven the most.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, Kansas City just has one fewer game.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: And I think we've got some question marks with their
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: injuries at receiver now. Yeah.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: We heard Tyreek for a minute. Are you still hearing that?
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I'm hearing it could be complicated a little bit. He's
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: got other stuff going on, you know, and I think,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, is he going to come in and just
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: be a consistently elite performer, you know, or is he
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: somebody maybe, maybe he's someone later in the year? You know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: we'll see. I just don't know if you can count
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: on him for the long term. It sounds like he's got,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: you know, his normal stuff off the field that could
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: hinder him too.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Do you know if they were in the mix at
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: all for Marvin Harrison Jr., Kansas City?
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know that. I didn't hear that. I think
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: in that case, you have it's a little bit of,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: you know, the GM of of Arizona and the GM
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: of Houston are great old buddies from, you know, going
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: back to their time in New England. It felt like
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: it was more limited to Arizona. those guys. And then
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: the weird delaying of the team he was going to
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: was a Monty Austin Fort request. He's the GM of Arizona,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: honored by Houston. News still got out that there was
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: going to be a trade. So that felt like it
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: was pretty much an inside deal to me.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Another undefeated team, the Vikings, and it's been all defense,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: although Kyler Murray was efficient last game for sure but
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: is their defense is it elite and built to be
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: elite all season long.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I think it is. Look, every defense is going to
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: have some tough games, and when they play better quarterbacks
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: and better offenses, they can still have a bad day.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think that they're unbeatable. I do think that
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: it's too much to ask to make a deep playoff
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: run without a lot more from your offense. They're limited
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit there. They're a little bit too one-dimensional.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: I think you've got to be able to threaten teams
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: more offensively because you're going to play a complete team
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs, someone who's hot.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I was reading your article that came out on Monday, your,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: your latest pick six article. And you did mention Marvin
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Harrison jr, which is why I brought it up. And
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I've been reading that he was upset because they wouldn't
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: pay $ 50, 000 for basically a jugs machine or whatever the
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: interpretation is there. What is the deal with that?
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So Arizona has got a long reputation of that
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: type of stuff. What's interesting to me is that when
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: you have a player like Marvin Harrison jr, there's a
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Marvin Harrison senior, you know, and some of these guys, uh,
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: even though I'm curious what's going on in Houston or
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: in Cleveland now with Shador Sanders, his dad, who's been
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: very outspoken in the past, but isn't right now, like
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: how much of the stuff is being kind of worked
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: out behind the scenes. Right. And, strategizing going on to
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: get a guy moved, the jugs machine stuff. I mean,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: that would be classic Cardinals stuff. They have a history
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: going back before I was around covering the league of
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: being accused of being on the cheap end of stuff
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: and not traveling as nicely as other teams, not leaving
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: as early for an East Coast game, all that type
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: of stuff. So it's plausible. It's plausible with that team. Now,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: would every other team honor a request to spend $ 50, 000
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: for something? Maybe not, but it sounds Arizona-ish.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does sound Arizona-ish. That's a good way to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: describe that. It does sound Arizona-ish. I was looking back
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: at your quarterback tiers, and you had in Tier 1
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, Patrick Mahomes, and Joe Burrow. Instead
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: of asking who doesn't belong, has anybody moved from Tier
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: 2 so far this season into Tier 1?
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Well, I think the best conversation is going to be
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: around Brock Purdy. He's had hot streaks before, so I
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: think people have been slower to put him up. I
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: think he's been respected but not feared. Does that make sense?
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: The guys in Tier 1 are typically feared, like, oh
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: my gosh, we've got to play this guy. At any time,
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: we're going to have the perfect defense and he's going
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: to solve it. I don't know that people feel that
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: way about Purdy, but the respect for him and the
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: way he's playing this year– You know, it's not like
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: the run game is totally carrying them. It's not like
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: the defense is just unbelievable. You know, he was 9
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: of 10 on the two big drives against Seattle to
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: win the game. So it'll be interesting to see if
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: he pushes up above because the top of Tier 2
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: has been Lamar Jackson, who I think if he plays,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: you know, he's always got a case for Tier 1.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: And then Justin Herbert's been up there, too, and he's
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: obviously going to come down. So is Aperte going to
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: go past that, right, and be just at the brink
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: of Tier 1? I think we could see that.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: What about a trevor lawrence who was at the bottom
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: of your tier two has he jumped some steps inside
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: that tier i would.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: Think so i think he's moved up because he was
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: people were kind of down on him for his inconsistent
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: accuracy as much as anything that was really the number
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: one disappointment of him all these physical gifts you know
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: and then he just missed too many throws and it
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: seems like this year uh those are down you know
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: he does seem more on point more on time uh
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: looks good. So I think for sure he's going to,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: he should be probably pushing up into that top 10
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: range now. You know, Dak Prescott's kind of been the
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: gatekeeper of the top 10, 7, 8, 9, 10, kind
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: of in there, you know, shouldn't he get, you know,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: if he does this the whole season, maybe he gets
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: into there.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: You had CJ Stroud in tier three, and this is
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: obviously a big contract year for CJ. How do you
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: feel like he's, they haven't won, they've been in close games,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: but how do you feel like he's done so far
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: trying to make his mark and trying to make some money?
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I think he's actually played better than their record. It's
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: been confounding how they've lost because their defense hasn't been good.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: They've been a bottom 10 defense after thinking they were
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: going to be a top three defense. So that being said,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: if they have a disappointing season and miss the playoffs,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: I don't think that helps anybody for their contract unless
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: he was just balling out every week and throwing for
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: 300 yards and three touchdowns. He's not doing that. So
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's hurting him. I think those guys
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: still get paid. I think when you are drafted by
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: the team, when you're with the team that drafted you,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: you tend to get the benefit of the doubt. And
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: we've seen that with Trevor Lawrence. We saw it with
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Tua Tungvalu in Miami, right? It's a little bit harder
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: to get the deal when you're the Sam Darnold or
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: the Baker Mayfield, and you're playing maybe somebody better than
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: those guys, but you're not their guy. So I think
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: he's still got a good chance of really getting paid.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Justin Herbert. earlier like what's happening in san
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: i guess i'm not san diego anymore that's old me
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: with the chargers.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah i actually respect the san diego reference most of
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: the coaches that i talked to still call them san
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: diego it's like they know where they are it's like
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: a stubborn thing out of habit i'm not changing but
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: uh uh he looks like he's lost confidence i think
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: that the fear for him coming into the year was
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: he's gotten hit so much that he start you're starting
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: to play like it right and you start just being
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a scarred player and this season
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: has to be increasing that a lot. I mean, there's
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: tons of attention on him and them. It's not working.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: He doesn't look comfortable. He's throwing interceptions. It's not working.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: So I think we could see A coordinator change there, which,
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: you know, Adam Gase is probably in line. I actually
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: would love to see that because it would just be
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: a fun experiment to see, like, would the offense actually
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: get better? You know, I mean, what's what is holding
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: it back? Are we going to blame two coordinators? Right.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Because Justin Herbert's had a number of years where people
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: expected a little bit more of him and now a
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: lot more of him. And there's always been some reason.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: But at a certain point, you're the common denominator, too.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and the Eagles also a little bit on
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the struggle bus. What do you think's happening there?
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: If you had said to me when they were in
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: the Superbowl, Hey, if you could do, if you could
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: do five things to destabilize this team around Jalen Hurts,
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: that's okay. Uh, have Jason Kelsey retire, Lane Johnson retire,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: have some other injuries on the offensive line. Let's have
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Jeff Stoutland, their line coach leave, you know, let's have
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley be banged up and let's take away AJ Brown.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of where they are to me. Uh,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: You know, they've diminished their rosters, diminished. So they're hanging
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: around nonetheless. They probably should have beat the Rams. I
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: think they're three and two now. And if they can
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: just sort of weather it and get Saquon Barkley back,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: kind of figure out what they're doing, not panic too early.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: You know, it's always been the same story with the
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: offensive coordinator under heat and all of that. I get it.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: But if they can just ride it out, I mean,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: this division is kind of there for somebody. and that's
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: why I don't think they're in like a sales mode
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. I think the Cam Juergens trade
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: with a second round pick, they could get more than
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: a fire sale. And so I'm not writing them off.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I think I'm writing them off as like win the
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl team, but I think they could still contend
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: for that division. Okay.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: In that division, the Cowboys, is the division there for
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: them to take?
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think at any, you know, I think they're
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: going to have a top 10 offense, certainly maybe even
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: top five. So they have to figure out Can the
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: defense get better over the course of a season? And
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: we do see that happen sometimes. The concern was you've
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: got a first-time D coordinator, and so he has no
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: track record of that. I think they brought in Mike Pettin,
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: who's been a D coordinator and a head coach in
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: the past. That has the possibility of helping them some.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: I think we've seen veteran coordinators. Steve Spagnuolo's had some
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: rough games out of the gates before, and they've stabilized it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Mike McDonald, when he first started as a coordinator in
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Baltimore and then even in Seattle as the head coach,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: the first half of the year was kind of not
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: that good defensively. So less confidence in the Cowboys' ability
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: to do that because the coordinator's got no track record.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: But with Mike Pettin in there, maybe they're closer. They
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: just need to be 20th on defense, not 35th out
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: of a 32-team league.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: And they might be 35th out of a 32-team league.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Eddie. We have a lot of Cowboys fans
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: on this show, and they're miserable. I mean, it feels
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: like every week we come, they're miserable.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: It's tough, and it's every year. So I'm with you.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of faith in them ultimately,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: but I thought they would be better than this. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: actually thought defensively they would be a lot better than
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: they are. So maybe that does speak to what's going
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: on from a coaching standpoint.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Is there anything to the fact that preseason isn't as real,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: players aren't playing, and someone like Drake May starts in
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: struggles and then kind of gets his groove?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Do you think?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Not having a preseason actually matters?
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: It could, yeah. I think that's on a case-by-case basis.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: But I think for these young players in particular, it
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: could help them to get more reps. If you can't play,
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: you're not going to start playing good later if you're
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: not good. But I do think there is something to
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: just practicing football, right? It's all limited down in the offseason.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: And I need to update this, but I had this
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: kind of like a thing showing the amount of snaps
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: that starting quarterbacks have played in the preseason over the years,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: and it goes like this. And then the other thing
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: that's happened on top of that is the position in
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: the last three years has gotten super young. You know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: we used to have Phillip Rivers and Drew Brees and
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Matt Ryan and all of these guys were still playing
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Tom Brady, right? I don't think they needed it as much,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: but I think for some of these young guys coming in,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: it has to be a factor.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Speaking of young guys, I just want to roll three
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: young quarterbacks by you before we finish and just kind
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: of get your thoughts Like to me, Michael Panix Jr.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: has been interesting because he didn't play, then he did play,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: then he did win, then he got, like, where do
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: you see him now?
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So I really liked him coming out of Washington. Now,
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: some of the people that I knew in scouting in
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: the NFL were like, he can't vary his throws. He
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: doesn't have touch. And I see that. But I do
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: think that he has exceeded my expectations for being able
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: to come in and the rest of the team just
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: get a jump around him because they do have talent.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: And I feel like Penix will, he will stand in
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: there and deliver, which is respect on your team. And
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: he will take some chances, like he will throw it
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: down the field. They've got some targets. So I think
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: that they've gotten a bigger spark than anticipated just from
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: having a viable quarterback, right? Still concerned about like, If
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: he has to throw it 30, 35 times a game
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: instead of these games where he's going 15 of 20,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: I think the inaccuracy is going to come out. I
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: think we're going to see that. His ability to make
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: it through a whole year, he barely made it through
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: the last game. All those concerns are still there, but
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: I think he's given them a shot in the arm
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: of showing that they were kind of at replacement-level quarterback,
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: and now he's a starter, or maybe he's a lower-end starter,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: but that's enough for them with their run game to
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: really get a boost.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Tyler Shuck in New Orleans.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Disappointing their season to me you know and even I
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: realize he's young even though he's old he's an older
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: player but he's young in his number of reps but
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: you know too many games where they have started out
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: terrible and then yeah you get a bunch of yards
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: late but is that really the same thing as if
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: you played consistent ball throughout I think they they really
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: miss you know they've had injuries at running back I
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: think they miss a running threat just somebody who can
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: do something dynamically with the ball in his hands their
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: number one pick also the receiver hasn't played So I'm
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: willing to give a little bit of more patience maybe
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: than the owner is there complaining like she did the
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: other day. But I think on the whole it's been a–
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: he hasn't taken off the way that maybe we would
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: have thought.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: The last young quarterback I'm going to ask about is
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: going to be Cam Ward. And not just Cam, but
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: let's say the Titans end up being as terrible as
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: they are. And they're going to end up as terrible.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: But let's just say hypothetically they are terrible all year
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: and they get the number one pick. So one, talk
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Cam Ward. But two, do they draft another quarterback or
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: do they go and get a– do they go to
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Ohio State? Get a receiver.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: Well, they just took a receiver, you know. I think
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: you have to take a quarterback if it's a clear
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: upgrade and you've made your evaluation on the one that
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: you have. I feel like you can't do this another year. Now,
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: it's still early for Cam Ward. Ideally, you'd give him
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: more time and maybe somewhere else he's going to find
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: his way. But if you feel like he's not the
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: guy and you can get the guy, I think that
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: position is too valuable to do it.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Who's the guy, though? This quarterback class looked so promising
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: four weeks ago. And now, because of injuries, Oregon, because
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Arch isn't really what we thought Arch was going to be.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: And there are some guys that are actually making moves
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: up and go to Oklahoma State, right? And you're starting
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to have some hope for him. But who's the guy, though,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: in this quarterback class?
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: You're right. And I don't have an answer to that
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: because I don't follow college as much during the season.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: I kind of get up to speed at the combine
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: when all the pro guys have kind of seen them.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: And so I don't have a great answer for that.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I think that what you're raising is an interesting point though.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: What if you have a, you know, a mid quarterback who's,
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: you know, okay, you can justify taking that early or
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: a superstar wide receiver, right? And then I think you've got,
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: here's an example, Bo Nix versus Jamar Chase, right? I'm
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: taking Chase.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. And also, You take another Ohio State
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. He's the best receiver that I've ever seen
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: in my life. Even though that'll be two in a row.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: But we really appreciate it. You guys follow at Sando NFL,

  Speaker 1: All right, now I'm going to present to you guys
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: my power rankings of the top five NFL quarterbacks as
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: of right now. At number five, Trevor Lawrence. It'd be
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: real cool if that number one high school quarterback, number
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: one draft pick would actually be good.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I think he was put in a situation that wasn't
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: conducive to winning, going to Jacksonville, period, and then having
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: to play for Urban Meyer and then having to play
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: for Doug Peterson. Not that he's bad. He did win
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. A lot of change. Uh, I'd like
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: it if he was good. That'd be pretty cool. Yeah,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: and it's taken a long time. But you're like, okay,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: maybe he actually is pretty good. They're throwing the ball
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: down the field, too. I do think he has multiple
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: options to throw the ball to as well, which is nice.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: So Trevor Lawrence at number five. I just wonder, is
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: he ever going to cut his hair?
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Ever?
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: At some point. And I'm saying this because I've let
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: mine grow to be funny. But at some point, when
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: do you adult up? I was going to say.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: The over-under, I would have put him like two years
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: in the NFL, and we're what, you're six, five in,
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: and I'm like.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: He's still got it going. And it's like as straight
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: as could be.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: It's like Joe Dirt.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Straight.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I do like him, though, and I'm happy to
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: see him at number five. At number four, Patrick Mahomes.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Mahomes had nine touchdown passes and two interceptions in the
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: last four games. They've only played four games, so they're
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: a game behind everybody else. So he doesn't have.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: To be great.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: He just has to be pretty good because– They have
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: a really good running game. And I bet for a
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: guy like that, it's probably kind of hard to not
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: have to go out and try to be great. Whenever
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they've depended on you to constantly break sacks, run, use
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: your legs. I think it's probably pretty difficult for him
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: not to even try to do that. But I have
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: him at number four because the Chiefs are undefeated and
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: he's Patrick Mahomes. And number three, Jared Goff.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: 12 touchdown passes and zero interceptions.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Well, that's interesting. I wouldn't have thought that just by
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: looking at the Lions.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: They have no defense. They play with seven men on defense.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: If you counted, if you do the counts when they
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: put the numbers up, they only put seven guys. Yes.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: It's completely performance-based here. He is Josh Allen, the Lions.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: The only time they have a chance to win is
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: when he is absolutely going ape crap and keeping them
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: in the game. So I have him at three. Brock
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Purdy at two.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Let's go. Oh.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Showing some love to Brock.
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Finally.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I can't hold him down. They're undefeated.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: It's weird. He doesn't look amazing, but gosh, he gets
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: the job done and sometimes like just effortlessly.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like him improvising starts to look pretty athletic
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and pretty cool.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: Yes. Yeah. I agree. I agree.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's a baby face, you guys. And also,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: it's the last pick.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're still holding that.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Even though he signed a new deal, we should be
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: off of that. And then also, it's a little bit,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: is he a Shanahan system guy?
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: And everyone's going to say that. And people are going
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: to say that about Shanahan. They're going to say that
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: about O'Connell. They're going to say that about McVay, except
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: for the quarterback McVay has now, which you can never
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: say that he's a system quarterback.
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: But there are certain guys that are always going to
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: have that attached to them.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: And you say that, though, but then when he, like,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: when the play goes bad and he has to improvise,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: like you said, he does a great job.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: But Shanahan showed him how to improvise. It's the Shanahan
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: improvising method that he's using. Yeah, you didn't know that.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: A new wrinkle this year.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: And at number one, Josh Allen, because he takes over
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the game in so many different ways, deep throws, creating
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: outside the pocket. You just have to always have somebody
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: watching him at all times. Just in the last game,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: he rushed for 121 yards in the overtime win, and
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: it all happened basically second half in overtime. And so
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: if Josh Allen wasn't on the Bills, they would be terrible.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: If Brock Purdy wasn't on the 49ers, I don't know.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think they could still be pretty good. I
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: don't want to take anything away from Purdy, but Josh
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Allen means all to the Bills. So I have him
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: at number one. So those are my power rankings. I
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: heard you sigh, but I do have Dak at number 19. Oh, wow.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: 19? You jerk.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Nah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: Dak's good, man. Yeah, he's really good. Josh Allen, though,
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I can never realize how big he is until he's
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: next to Matt Stafford the other night. When they go
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: up to coin toss, it's like, gosh, he's humongous.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Have you seen the.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Picture of me with Brothers Osborne?
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: Same thing.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: I'm a rather tallish guy.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: I'm over six foot.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: And those guys, they look like the Steiner brothers.
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they tower.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: They're huge, both of them. But they're always with each other,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: so they don't look large because they're always standing with
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: someone who's also large. But they're monsters. So, yeah, that's
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: what's up. The big games, college real quick, Ohio State
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and Indiana. Ohio State's a three-and-a-half-point favorite. It's at Indiana. Also,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Indiana has a 20-game win streak. All those things are great.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Florida, Texas. Texas is a ten-and-a-half-point favorite, Mike.
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Double digits.
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: Ten and a half, Mike.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised. Also, if I go double digits, what's that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: sound like?
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Double dribble.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, from Nintendo back in the day. That's right.
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Love that game.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Good catch. Mississippi State at LSU. Now, Mississippi State's ranked 16.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: LSU is ranked 22nd, but LSU is a 14 and
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Crazy.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Auburn at number one, Georgia. Georgia is a 20 point favorite.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Missouri at Ole Miss. Ole Miss a touchdown favorite. Alabama
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Alabama eight and a half point favorite. Florida
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: State and Miami. Miami, big favorite, 21 points. And Notre
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: Dame is a 10-point favorite over BYU. So there you go.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Looking at the NFL schedule real quick. What do I
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: love about it? What's going to be a fun game
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: to watch? I think this is going up Thursday, so
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: I'll be quick on it. Seahawks, Broncos, that should be
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: a fun game. Seahawks are really good. Broncos are pretty good.
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: We'll see what's up.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: NFL, though, game inches. Yeah.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Any given Sunday.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Thursday.
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: Any given Thursday.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Any given Thursday. Yeah, and he gave it Thursday.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: I guess the Jaguars just bought property in London, huh?
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's their home stadium now.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Everyone has a place there.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're there again. So what game looks the best?
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Texas Jaguars, meh. Jets at Patriots, meh. Ravens at Browns, meh.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Kind of just if Lamar's there or not. Even if
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: he is there, he's going to be probably a little hobbled.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Steelers at Bucs, nobody cares. Titans at Colts, nobody cares.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: Panthers at Eagles. I mean, Eagles are a favorite there.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Could be.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: But I did just see Jalen Hurts is out. Okay.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: My line can't move on paper.
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: That'd be crazy if it did, though. If it changed
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: on paper, that'd be crazy.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: With what? A superficial blood clot?
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Is that what they're saying?
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: What is a.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Superficial blood clot?
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: That blood clot probably wasn't being true to itself.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: So it's being superficial. Shame on you, blood clot.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Blood clot.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Be yourself and just... Don't treat people bad. Wow. I
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: don't know what that is. I'm looking at these games.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: I guess so far we've got a sucky.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: What about the Bills and the Raiders?
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Saints and Giants, crappy. Cardinals at Rams, who cares? Chargers
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: at Chiefs. Was interesting before the season started. Bills at Raiders,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: kind of. Cowboys at Packers. Packers are a point and
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: a half favorite.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, stupid.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Commanders at 49. I mean, these games suck.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're all terrible. What the heck?
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Those games all suck. What's the game of the week?
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: I would go Bills and Raiders.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Can't do tonight. Can't do tonight. Can't do tonight?
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man. I liked your pick, Kevin.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Texans at Jaguars in London at 830. What was your pick, Kevin? Tonight.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought somebody said Raiders.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you've got to go Bills and Raiders.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: It might be Cowboys and Packers for me. I quit
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: match for that game.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: They absorb the other team. Whoever wins, they take everybody
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: on their roster for the rest of the year. It's
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: a double up. What's up?
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: That's Sunday night. Didn't realize that.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: So you get to experience that. All the joy, all
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: the pain.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, everyone's going to be watching.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: I'm excited.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Don't be a hater. Because you're not a hater.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: You love the Cowboys.
