  Speaker 1: We haven't talked about Aaron Rodgers in a while.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: He hasn't had any crazy conspiracy theories or anything going
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: on and has been playing pretty average football.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: As of late.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: But he did have an interesting comment about the international
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: games this week as they just played in Paris and
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the Steelers won the first ever NFL game there.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I am not a.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Massive fan of all the expansion international games. I do
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: like London and I feel like eventually we are going
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to get a London team there.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It'll probably be Jacksonville. They've been talking about this forever.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: At this point, they find a way to make it
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: work and the flight isn't that far. However, when you're
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: talking about Rio and Paris and Berlin and Australia, it
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: is starting to feel a little bit like the expansion
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of the brand is more important than the actual games
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that are being played there. Well, Aaron seems like he's
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: revealing a little tea about the original plan for the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: international games, which was an international week plan. He said
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the owners valued adding a 17th game more. He said
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: there was talk about doing a week, an international week,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: where you had games in 16 different places and you.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Just added an extra bye week.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So you play regular season, 16 regular season weeks, You
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: have two bye weeks, and one of those weeks would
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be an international week. I think it would have been
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: phenomenal for the game. Now the owners want to push
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: for 17 games for extra revenue.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: It sounds reasonable, but I don't think he's thinking through
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: all of the logistics that it would take to play
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: games in 16 cities across a bunch of different time zones,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: which I'm sure he also didn't consider. And while a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: second bye week is great for players, a full league
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: bye means a dark week in the middle of the season.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And that is also not good for business.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, once again with Aaron, it's a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: simple statement and he seems like the smart guy. But
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: when you really get into the nuance of all of it,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: it's quite a bit more complicated than that. And I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: never one to side with the man. You know, I've
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: made it pretty clear. I think that the NBA owners
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: are getting a little wild with the constant expansion of
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: games in the NFL. And I, again, don't really love
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: all of the international games. I think that it's more
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: important to have good play and that is better for
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the brand than playing in a bunch of.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Different places around the world. And listen, I'm a big traveler.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I love traveling the world, but football is a game
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: that requires a lot of logistics. It's a lot of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: people flying. It's a lot of people that you have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: to put up in hotels. It's a lot of people
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: that are tired. You have really, really long flights for
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: some of these games. You've got to plan your entire
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: season around some of them. So, you know, I'm with
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: them on, I don't really love how it's currently set up,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: but an international week doesn't really make much sense.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Entering week seven, there were three undefeated teams. The Niners
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: lost to the Falcons.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: The Vikings stayed perfect after a week five by, and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: then the Chiefs lost completely and masterfully to the Seahawks
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: on Sunday night. Seattle put together the best overall performance
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of the season. They were very impressive. Once again, JSN,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you know, Probably the best in the league. Nine catches
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: for 150 yards and one touchdown. Got 100-yard rushing performance
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: from Emmanuel Wilson. And the Chiefs looked pretty uncharacteristically bad.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Mahomes struggled. The receivers were a non-factor.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey, Noah Gray, and Kenneth Walker were the leading receivers.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You could tell that Pat was getting frustrated. Xavier Worthy,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: not that anyone cares, but I did start him on
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: my fantasy team. had a big drop and there was
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: no revenge game for Kenneth Walker, which is obviously what
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: everyone expected. And he's been having a great season entering
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the night, averaging a league leading 133 yards per game,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: but the Seahawks shut him down along with the rest
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of Kansas city's offense. It only had 213 total yards
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and 50 on the ground.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Andy Reed said all three phases struggles. We have to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: do better.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's my responsibility. We've got to play better as a team.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks finally woke up from their Super Bowl hangover
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: for this one. I thought this was a really, really
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: good performance out of Seattle. The Chiefs shocked me how
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: bad they were. They're missing some pieces, but so is everybody.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That's not really an excuse. And I mean, at this point,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: if San Francisco can keep playing well with all the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: pieces that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: They're missing, even though I know they just lost, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: can't really give excuses to everyone. Yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Kansas City's only had one win over a winning team,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and that was over the Broncos in week one. Since then, Colts, Dolphins, Raiders,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and Chargers. So maybe I got a little excited about
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Kansas City too soon. I still think they're going to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: be okay. But the trade deadline is going to be very, very, very, very,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: very interesting. It's on November 10th, 4 p.m.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Eastern.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I think there's going to be a lot of moves
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: made this year. There's a prediction there's going to be
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of moves around the league, and I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a very dramatic trade deadline. Also
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: something to note about the Chiefs. Harrison Butker, who's hardly
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: my favorite, has missed 10 field goals this season.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So he's having an awful season. And that's a problem.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You can't have your kicker having a season like that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: on top of having any other kind of adjustments and struggles.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: So that's something to pay attention to as well. Finally,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in the NBA, the Lakers are off to a super
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: hot start. We don't really know what the Lakers were
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: going to look like in the post-LeBron era, but Luka
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: dropped 52-8-10 on the Jazz in 2019. Utah, the first
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: 50-point game in the NBA this season. He joins Wilt
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Chamberlain as the second player in NBA history to have
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a 50-point 10-assist game with multiple franchises because he did
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it with the Lakers and the Mavs.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: L.A.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Was down early in Walker Kessler's first game back in
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Salt Lake City, but Luka hit a three just before
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the half to take the lead. He said we showed
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of character, a lot of heart. It's an
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: away game. You're down 20. You can easily just go away,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: but they stayed in the game. We talked to each other,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and everybody talks a lot about the team. I think
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we showed a lot of potential there and we just
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: came back and everyone was locked in. I love hearing
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that from Luca. He is going to have to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the leader of this team. Now he's going to have
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to step into, um, not a role he hasn't played before,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: but it's, everything is different in LA and everything is
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: different with the Lakers. Austin Reeves is a co-pilot and,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you know, a nice co-pilot to have, but Luca is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: driving the Lakers ship and that's what you want to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: hear from him. And maybe a little, you know, maturity
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: boost from the 27 year old superstar.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I can't believe he's only 27. My God, that's crazy. Yeah.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So I, I like when the Lakers are good, not
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: just because I live in LA, but I also think
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that the league is better when the Lakers are playing
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: well and they're scoring a ton to start the season,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: 125 points or more in the first three games of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the season for the first time in franchise history.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And, you know, putting up big numbers.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Still, obviously very early in the season, but a lot
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to be excited about if you are, A Lakers.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Fan and a lot to hate if you're a Lakers hater.
