  Speaker 1: Woo!
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Stu Gatz.
• 0:01
  Speaker 3: Woo!
• 0:02
  Speaker 4: I got to be honest with you, Bruce, there's a
• 0:03
  Speaker 4: good chance I'd be high anyway.
• 0:05
  Speaker 5: Woo!
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm wondering how the football weekend was. Were you
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: able to watch it? Wow, what happened?
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm tired of him.
• 0:12
  Speaker 5: I'm serious.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 0:14
  Speaker 5: In company. We are mother shuckers, baby.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Woo!
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Bruce, does Faison Brandon's name sound like it's on backwards?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's time to get your.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's time to get your financials. To get the all boat.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You got nothing right there.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: This is not going well.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: This is Stu Gotts and Company. Stu, back to you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: It is Stu Gotts and Company presented by FanDuel and
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: the FanDuel Sportsbook. Mike Golick Sr. going to join us
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: in about 10, 15 minutes. We'll get to if the
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: season ended today in just a second. You guys into
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: the baseball at all with the Yankees out? Are you
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: guys into the baseball at all?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Are you watching it?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm into it just because I'm rooting against the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Rays at this point because you're looking at the Tampa
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Bay Rays and their fans are doing the, it's not us,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it's the stadium. It's tough to get to Tampa Bay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And that's the reason why we had sold out attendances
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: against the Yankees and attendances are down 8,000 people since
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: they've gotten to the ALCS. Like through hell or high water,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Find a way to get to the ALCS. I don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: care if it takes you all day to get to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that stadium.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You have the best team in the American League.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Show up.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, you would love to be there, and you would
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: do anything you could if the Yankees were there to
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: get to those games, right?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: And it's like they're talking about, no, you don't understand.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The stadium's in St.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Pete.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: There's a bridge you have to cross, and the bridge
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: gets gridlocked. I don't care about a bridge.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Mikey. I see you shaking your head.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Most of my family lives in Tampa. I've done that drive.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: I've done it a thousand times.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: Show up.
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: Sit in a little bit of traffic if you have to.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: Your team is the number one team in the American League.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: They're hosting the ALCS. You got a chance to go
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: to the World Series, and by most opinions, you're one
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: of the few teams that can challenge one of these
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: National League teams that look just far better, by the way.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But Show up.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, cross a bridge. I mean, how about that?
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Cross a bridge.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, seriously, in New York, when you drive from
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Long Island to, what is it now, MetLife, you have
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: to go over a bridge. There are certain cities where
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: you just have to travel a little bit to go
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: see your favorite team.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm with you guys. Tampa, show up.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: I will tell you this.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: There is no easy way to get to Yankee stadium
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: from where I live.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: If the Yankees were playing, I would sit in whatever
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: traffic I have to pay, whatever absorbent amount of money
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: they're going to charge me to park and just deal
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: with it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say here is if, when Tampa
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Bay gets their new stadium and they put it in Tampa,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: if they are still having attendance issues after one year,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm moving that team.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Wait, they're not going to have attendance issue issues once
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: they move or.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Move create a new stadium.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's what they're saying right now, which is very convenient. Like, oh,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: if you build us a new stadium, we'll be more
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: likely to go to the stadium. And I fully admit,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Tropicana's a dump. I probably wouldn't want to go there either.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: But once you have the new stadium, your excuse just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: went out the door.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: You are right about that, but I will say this,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: just going back to the old stadium for a second.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: It's one thing to cross a bridge or Mikey sits
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: in traffic to get to Yankee Stadium, which is a
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: shrine to baseball, okay? It's another thing to wait two
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: hours to get to that dump. Because it is a dump.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: It is the biggest dump in all of sports. No,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the team is great. The place they play in is
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: an absolute dump. And I'm not certain I would wait two,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: two and a half hours to get myself to a
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Rays game just to go and sit in that dump
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: when I could sit at home and watch on the couch.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Now I'm defending Rays fans.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, cry me a river and then build me a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: bridge to get over it.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Put that on the poll. Ed Stugatz, 790 and X.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Cry me a river and build me a bridge to
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: go over it. Yes or no. Let's get to if
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: the season ended today. Good baseball talk, guys. If the
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: season ended today, give me the music. Thankfully, the season
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: doesn't end today. But man, it's been a great season.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: It really has.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: If it did end today, I think we could all say,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: great season.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if this has happened to you guys,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: but I've almost been like Pavlov-dogged to this song that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: when I hear it now on Sundays, My mind is
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: just conditioned to start giving takes and everybody's looking at me.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I hear this take start and I'm like, man, I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: really worried about the Rams starting two and three. And
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: they're like, why are you just firing off takes right now?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I think it's because when I hear
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: this music, I have to just flip my brain to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be like, it's time to perform.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: My eyes glass over and I just start spewing takes.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: You do Taylor's tears. I do it too.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: If the magic starts, I go, hey, guys, if the
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: season ended today, the Titans have the number one pick.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, in fairness to me, I was doing it
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: well before I had the music. I just walk around,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: give it takes. All right, Mikey, let's get to it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: If the season ended today, very exciting here.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: The AFC is fun. The NFC, woof, I can't wait
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: to get to it. All right, but we're going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: start in the AFC.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: If the season ended today, surprise, surprise, the Kansas City
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Chiefs have the bye.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: They're the one seed.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: We knew that. The first matchup.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: The Las Vegas Raiders are traveling to.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: The Baltimore Ravens.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Is Lamar healthy yet?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: He's expected to play this week, I believe.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Would you play him? Huntley looked good.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: It's an AFC North game against the Browns. He's got
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to play tomorrow. They say realistic chance to return week
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: six versus the Browns.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: All right, so we have Raiders at Ravens.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: That would be exciting, the Raiders getting into the playoffs.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many people expected that. Yes, go ahead.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You know what this game is, though?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: What?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: This is the Max Crosby revenge game.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. Wow, what a game. What a matchup.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Is Kirk Cousins still playing quarterback for the Raiders, do
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: we think? I think if they make it to the playoffs,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: it's a fair assumption that Kirk Cousins has started every
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: game for the Raiders, right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So I think I'm picking the Raiders to win this
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: game just because of that Max Crosby factor where the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Ravens embarrassed Max Crosby saying, your knee isn't healthy enough
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to play for our team. And then Max Crosby, what
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: does he do? He gets the Raiders to the playoffs?
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: That Raiders team is beating Baltimore.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: And you have Max Crosby with, like, five sacks, revenge games.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. Max Crosby would put Lamar Jackson's head
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: on a stake.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: The problem with that is then all they do is
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: bring in Snoop Hundley and win the game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: That's right. Second half.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Second half Snoop. I would take the Ravens in that game.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I understand what you're saying about Max Crosby, and it
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: is a revenge game, and it is a.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Very appetizing first-round matchup. I have to be honest with you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I'd like to see it, but I think the Ravens
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: are just too good.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Playoff Lamar, give me the Raiders. All right.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Your next matchup, the Denver Broncos are on the road
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: to the 40,000-seat arena in Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Wow, wow, wow, wow.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about the game. I'm thinking about Trevor Lawrence.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking about if Trevor Lawrence finally wins a playoff game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton, Bo Nix is really bad. I don't know
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: why I'm just doing it like this. I'm just talking
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Just talking it out.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Listen, Mikey, you're going to hate this, right? We've been
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: on the Jaguars. And by the way, our friend Tony
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Buscelli will join us next week. I'm excited about that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: He went all corporate on us. He runs the Jaguars.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: But that team is really good, and that quarterback is good, Mike.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: And the only reason I'm speaking to you is we've
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: been bashing that quarterback for almost a decade. But, man,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: he is good, and Bo Nix is not. So I
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: think the Jaguars win that game. I think they steamroll
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the Broncos at home.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: So this is a week two rematch that the Broncos
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: won 20-13. And, Stu, you know what they say.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: It's hard to beat a team twice.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going Jaguars.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Revenge game, yes.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I am not off the Bo Nix train. I think
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Denver goes. I wanted to be clear. I've never been
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: on the bone X train.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't even buy it. I wouldn't even buy a ticket.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: If it was free.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So no need to get all for you. Right.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Never even considered getting on that station.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Yep. All right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: All right. Oh, music stopped for a second. I needed
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: a second.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Last game.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: It's an AFC East matchup. The Patriots on the road.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: In Buffalo in January.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: That is special.
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Drake May has played so good the last two games.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Mikey's going to hate this as well because I'm a
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Jet fan. I want to see Josh Allen win a
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I do. No, I want to see him win a
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I like Josh Allen. I love his talent. Always nice
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: to me when he sees me out in Tahoe. He's
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: just a nice guy. I want Josh Allen to win.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: It's a good question. I'll do better next year. But
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen, I want to see him win a Super Bowl.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: So I'm not saying the Patriots can't win this game,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: but I'm doing this with my heart and not my
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: head here. I think the Bills win that game and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: move on.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So Drake May and Mike Vrabel together are 2-0 on
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the road in Buffalo. This might be a case where
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they just have their number when they go to that stadium.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Or it might be a case that they're due.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Old stadium, new stadium. It might not matter for Drake May.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I love this Patriot team as long as Drake May
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't turn the ball over. these are two quarterbacks where
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it's like man if they just don't turn the ball
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: over and beat themselves you could talk your way into
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: them being in the mvp conversation pretty easily yes i'm
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: going patriots i think i just picked all three.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Road teams You did, which is unlikely to happen.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, I had the Jaguars. No, you picked Jaguars.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you had the Jaguars, yes.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You kind of just assumed the Jaguars are the lower-seeded
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: team every time, though.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Right, well, fair.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: It just feels like a road game.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: It's not much of a home-field advantage. They'd rather play
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: it in London, I think.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Put it on the poll. Would the Jags rather play?
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: They're playing there for a second consecutive week this week,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: but if the season ended today, would the Jags prefer
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: playing their games, their playoff games, in London or Jacksonville?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: It's a good question. It really is. All right, Mike.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: I think Buffalo wins that game because Buffalo doesn't lose
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: in the first round of the playoffs.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: They lose in the next round.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Can we go on to the next round just as, like,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: what if Buffalo won? Okay, you're going to do that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Oh, no.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: If Buffalo won, you're assuming all the home teams win?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yes. Now we have, like, all different matchups.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So it's more confusing. This is why I think we've
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: never gone past.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Buffalo would play Kansas City.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: We've never gone this far. Let's just assume. Okay. You're right, Taylor.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Are we going with your picks?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: We've never left the wild card round. What was the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: first game?
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Raiders at Ravens. All right.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: So the Ravens win that game.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, we're going with my picks. What's the next game?
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Denver at Jacksonville.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville wins that game and Buffalo wins their games. What's next?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: So all the home teams.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Okay. then Buffalo would go to Kansas City.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. We want all home teams to win that week, right?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: If the season ended today.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, if not, if another team would have won,
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: then Buffalo would go to Baltimore. And then it's a matchup.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: It's the matchup of the two quarterbacks that can't win.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: In the playoffs.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Right, for the right to play Mahomes to go to
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. In all likelihood, yes. But if the
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Bills went to the Chiefs, I'd be happy. It means
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: we get that game.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: It's guaranteed.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I would take the Bills to win that game.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I would.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen. All right. Yes. I just wanted to go
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: one round further. Yeah, we can go to the NFC. Sorry.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Sorry for the detour there.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Your number one seed in the NFC, San Francisco 49ers.
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Yep. put together with duct tape and hopes and dreams.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They need the buy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, they do. Yes, get healthy.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Get healthy. All right, your first matchup.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Exciting.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: The Detroit Lions are on the road at Minnesota.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: A team with all defense and a team with no defense.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Right. But the Vikings have the league MVP in Brian Flores.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: This feels like a matchup where if you could have
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: asked the Lions, what offense do you want to play
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: with how bad your defense is, they would race to
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: turn in the card to select the Minnesota Vikings, though.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: That's why I would pick the Lions.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I would take the Lions as well. I'm with Taylor
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: on that. I would. All right.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Your next matchup.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: The Chicago Bears... are on the road at the New
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: York Giants.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Wow. Caleb Williams. Wow is right. Yes. Jameis Winston. Wow.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: John Harbaugh's first season as Giants head coach. Gets to
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and has a home game. Hosted a home game.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Man. Taylor, who do you like there?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I've got Bears minus eight and a half in this one.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Giants would. Giants don't even show
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: up to this matchup.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Well, they'll show up. Wow.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: No, I'm telling the Giants don't show up. Okay, well,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I guess Caleb's going to rip their hearts out. Caleb
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Williams will run you out of the building.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: John Harbaugh. I like the Bears as well. All right.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Next game, Mikey. All right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Your last game.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: The Green Bay Packers are on the road at the
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: Carolina Panthers.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Lafeu.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: While you guys ponder that over, let me just give
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: you two little tidbits.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Okay. I love tidbits.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: No Seattle or the Rams in the playoffs in the
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: NFC picture right now.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Crazy. And all four teams in the NFC North made
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: the playoffs.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Wow. Wow. My mind has been blown.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: How....
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: No Rams, no Seahawks. That's how the football's played. McVay,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: I'm tired of him.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Packers at Panthers, who you got?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking here.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, my head says Packers, my heart says Panthers
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: because I love the Panthers and I love Bryce Young
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and I love that team and I love the roller
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: coaster that they take you on every single Sunday that
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: they play football.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: They're exciting. I'm going to say Carolina wins that game
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I am all over this Carolina Panthers team. We have
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: had people reach out and say, Taylor Stugatz, thank you
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: for championing for Bryce Young and this Carolina Panthers team.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Have we?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So you think I'm going to turn my back on
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the Queen City now? Once we start getting a little
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: praise from them, I'm all over this Panthers team.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Who has reached out to you regarding us supporting the Panthers?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: People on social media have said, thank you for supporting
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the Panthers. Nobody else wants to talk about how good
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Bryce Young and this Panthers team might be with Dave Canales.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So you are welcome for giving you guys a platform.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Ted McMillan is our wide receiver one. I love this team.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I might adopt the Panthers as my NFC team. I might.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: We're huge in Charlotte.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it. I know we are.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, we are huge in Charlotte.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Charlotte, Raleigh, and Chapel Hill. We dominate there. We do.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Hold on a second. Don't they have some big drum
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: they play? What do you think? What do you think, Panthers?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Keep pounding.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Keep pounding.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: We can go pound that drum.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Sideline passes.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: You want to get someone from Carolina on so we
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: can have that discussion?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. Stu Gox would like to pound the drum.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Get me Canales.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Listen, we make a lot of empty promises saying we'll
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: go places.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: No, that's I will go.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: I will go. Yes.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Mikey, 1,000%. If the Carolina Panthers can commit to us,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Stu Gatz gets to go to a game and pound
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the drum and do the keep pounding.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: We're in.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: First plane to Charlotte Airport.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: That's a quick flight.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: It really is.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I'm down with that. I'm good with that. It's a
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: hub for somebody, right? Bryce Young likes me. We know that. Yes.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: American Airlines might be the hub of Charlotte.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Don't care. I'll get there.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Underrated airport.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: It is. Nice little airport.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: It's always good for a layover, like that Bojangles there.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: My only complaint is sometimes the gates are too far walking,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: where I land in, like, Terminal A, and I'm connecting
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: flights in Terminal B, and I'm looking on the map,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and it's like, 40-minute walk.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 40-minute walk.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: How is that possible?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: They don't have those in New York.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: This airport's, like, less than half a mile.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Speaking of obligations.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Spread across three states.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Speaking of games we're invited to, we have been invited
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: as a show.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Music. Thank you.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: To do our show live from Army Navy. And I
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: need to give them an answer by Friday. No one
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: loves the troops like me and Mikey A.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Whoa.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I left Taylor out. I'm sorry. Yes. Thank you for
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: your service. My bad.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: We need to make a decision by this Friday. What
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: are you guys thinking here? I don't know where the
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: game is.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: MetLife.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm in for the sole fact I grew up
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: probably 20 minutes from West Point. And my experience in
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: college football, my introduction to college football, was just going
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to Army games when I was a kid. And I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: was probably like five or six going to Army games
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: every weekend. And I grew up thinking Army football was
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Alabama football. Like I didn't know any different. And then
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: eventually I got to like the age of eight or
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: nine and I'm like, This team's three and nine every year.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Mikey in Army Navy deserves a better. I mean, seriously,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: a better venue than MetLife.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: What are we doing? Respect the troops. I mean, seriously,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: sending that dump.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: But that's a cold weather game.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Very happy to go.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: But I got to get I got to get a
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: flight from Connecticut to Jersey.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: That's a bad drive. You're going to watch people who
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: go to war for us. If indeed we need them
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: to do so. And you don't want to drive?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: T-Y-F-Y-S.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: And they're going to war so that I can take
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: that flight. For my right.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: To take that flight. For your right to be lazy.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You just told people to cross a bridge. All right.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: So we're in. We're doing this. I have to tell
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: them by Friday. I'm in.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You can count me in.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: All right. Army, Navy, here we come. Mike Golick coming
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: up next. Stugatz here.

  Speaker 4: Mikey A, I am one hour removed from hearing Mike
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: Golick Sr. on his ESPN radio show, 10 to noon
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Eastern every single day. He said, and I laughed out loud,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: pass the Dutchie. And go Joe, let him have it.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Explain yourself, Mike Golick.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it was one of the fines and suspensions that
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: has gone out in the NFL. Jamison Williams from Detroit
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: did a celebration where it was like he was smoking,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: you know, a joint and.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Passing it to his teammates.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: And the teammates and Jamison got suspended.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: It got rescinded.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: But his teammates also got fined, which I'm sure that
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: got rescinded as well. Jamison Williams' reply was, smoking marijuana
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: is legal in some states. What's wrong with that?
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I said, yes.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: It's kind of the Kyle Juszczyk when he got fined,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: not suspended, but fined because he acted like he was
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: drinking a beer when he was like, my nickname's Juice.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: But even if it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Was a beer, I would say the same thing. Beer's
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: legal to drink if you're of legal age.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, what do we do in NFL? I mean,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: you can't sit there and worry that every little celebration
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: is going to go, uh-oh, what if a 10-year-old sees this?
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, come on. It's crazy.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: So I said, yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: I said he got nailed for passing the duchy on
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: the left-hand side, which is a song back a few years.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: And Mike and Devin and Bubba ripped me. I'm like,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: wait a minute, man. That's old school.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: What's wrong with that?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Not a few years, a few decades, Mike. That was
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: the problem. I laughed. I enjoyed it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: I bet you did.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: They did that at the sock hop.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Everything old isn't bad, right?
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. I mean, we're old. We're not bad. I mean,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: I am, but maybe. I mean, they were like.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, next thing you're going to say, take a toke?
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, take a toke. I mean, yeah, sure.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: We all know what I'm talking about.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, smoke the ganja. Yeah. I mean, what does it
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: kid say today? I don't know. I don't know. I
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: have no idea.
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: Yep. Mike, I want to talk about football. I want
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: to talk about the NFL. I want to talk about
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame. I want to talk about all that stuff.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: But there's this little splinter in the back of my brain.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: I usually you're not set up like this. And I
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: see all of these switches behind you on the wall.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: And I am just convinced you have no idea what
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: any of them did.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: None.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: None. I imagine you walk into the room and flip
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: all of them.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I flip them all on and then I turn off
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: the ones and I see what turns off. But you
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: do it every time. Oh, every single time. I don't remember.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: No.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: That's exactly right. I mean, sometimes houses get too cute
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: with the amount of switches and the amount of things
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: you can control.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: You're right. I'm a kiss person. I'm a keep it simple,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: stupid person.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Mike, if you have to pie chart the blame of
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: what happened to Washington at the end of that game,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: how much goes to Dan Quinn?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: How much goes to Jaden Daniels?
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: So, again, it all depends on did Dan Quinn throw
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: David Blah in there?
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Because he's the one on the microphone, on the headset,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to Jaden Daniels, not Dan Quinn. So there's blame to
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: be shared for all three. But I'll say this. If
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Dan Quinn, in fact, and the presser he said after, listen,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it was either a throw it out of bounds or
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: clock it, If that's what was relayed to David Blah,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: and David Blah relayed that to Jaden Daniels, who the
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: hell do we think it's on? Jaden Daniels isn't a
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. If Jaden Daniels was told the parameters, and
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: that's what I don't know because we're getting all general
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: responses out of them that we have to do the
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: right thing, know the situation.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Blah, blah, blah. We know that.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, what was told
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: to Jaden Daniels? Was it throw it out of bounds?
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Or clock it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: If that's the last thing that was in his ear,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: then you've got to say it's on Jaden Daniels, right?
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: It'll go on all of them. But at the end
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: of the day.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels isn't a rookie.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: You've got to kind of know.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And these situations are worked on in practice. You've got
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: to kind of know what's going on.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Right. It just seemed like Jaden Daniels had no idea.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: He didn't know if they had a timeout. He just
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: didn't know. And it was so odd to see from
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: such a talented quarterback, you know?
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: It really was.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Because then him not knowing, you wondered what was communicated
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: to him. And then I'm sure there's even, why does
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: it need to be communicated to him?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: He should know.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a world of communication. You're going to cover
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: all your bases and you're going to communicate every situation.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: So that's what I want to know. What was the
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: last thing told to Jaden Daniels' ears?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Mike, I don't know him from an X's and O's perspective,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: but would you agree that you wouldn't want an offensive
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: coordinator named David Blah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Blah, blah, blah.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Leave it to you, Taylor. Leave it to you.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Leave it to you.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: You don't need to answer.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I'd disqualify him from name alone.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Mike, what did you make of the Rams cutting their
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: kicker after that loss to Buffalo?
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I thought it was laughable.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Listen, McVay, I mean, anything, if they should have cut anything,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: it should have been his testicles for not going for
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: two towards the end of the game.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Well, also, there was a third and five on the
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: 30-yard line before they had the field goal blocked. And
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: he just ran it off tackle. He ran kind of
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: a safe play.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Instead of maybe thinking he should have run it a little,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: you know, been a little more aggressive there. But the kicker, Mavis,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: was five and nine. I mean, for the season. So
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: this was just the latest kick. And the block wasn't
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: his fault. But he missed a field goal earlier in
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: He's 5-9.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: That's a horrible percentage for a kicker. So, I mean,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: and listen, it was after a game last year that
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: McVay fired his special teams coach.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: So.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: they're offensively and defensively they're okay but special teams it's
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: certainly been a bit of a bugaboo for them.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah mike landman from the rams as somebody who played
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: in the nfl for for almost a decade are you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: amazed at the precision that some of these players could
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: punch out balls.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: It's stunning to me now when i played it was
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: first guy wrap up the ball carrier and stop his
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: momentum And then the next players that go in there
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: try and rip the ball out. Now, Landman, both those times,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: was the initial tackler. If he doesn't punch the ball out,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: he misses the tackle.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Because it's very.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Difficult to punch the ball out and tackle the ball
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: carrier at the same time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: It's unbelievable, his precision.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, because, man, I would think if you miss,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: you could break your wrist if you hit a solid
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: body part. And now Joe Brady said, You know, James Cook,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: there has to be consequences when he's fumbled a lot.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I think 11 times in the last couple of years,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: way more than anybody else. There has to be consequences
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: for that. But I mean, are you not having James
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Cook on the field? I mean, he's a leading rusher
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: in the league last year. That would be a heck
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: of a step to take.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Mike, have we ever seen anything like Josh Allen in
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: the history of the NFL?
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: It's unbelievable.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, it accounted for 331 yards.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: 210 pass and 121 rushing. He just, he puts the
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: defense in conflict. He did it a couple times where
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: he rolled out, he got out of the pressure, and
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the defender had to make a choice. Do I continue
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: to cover the receiver or the back out of the backfield,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: or do I come up and I try and stop Josh?
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: And that's all Josh is waiting for. You know, you
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: come up to stop Josh. He dumps it over to
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: the defender's head. Defender stays on the receiver. Josh runs
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: the ball. He is clearly the most dangerous quarterback in
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the league. And I say this because I see it
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: so much in the NFL now of quarterbacks escaping the pocket.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: It was always such a rule, keep them in the pocket. Now,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean sometimes there's room to step up and out.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: And also, Josh Allen is big, and he can shrug tacklers.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: But my God, just don't give him the edge so
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: easily at times.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Well, sometimes they try to prevent him from getting the edge,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: and he still gets the edge because he's that good
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: of an athlete.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Yes. He is incredible.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: He is incredible.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Are you buying the Vikings here, Mike?
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm buying their defense for sure. And, I mean, listen,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray back helped, but what really helped is Justin
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Jefferson back. I mean, getting one of the top tier
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: receivers in the league back on your offense is huge.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: So Kyler just has to be like a point guard
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: and get it to the receivers there and let them
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: do their thing and let Brian Flores and that aggressive
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: defense do their thing. So yeah, I'm buying into them.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I think what's happening with the Raiders is interesting because
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: they're still alive.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: They're still in it.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: They're still having a decent season above expectations, but We
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: did see Mendoza towards the end of that Patriot game.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's time for Mendoza or do they
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: stay with Cousins? You stay with Cousins.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. That would be disrespectful is the wrong word.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, what would that say to the rest of
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: the team?
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Right. You're three and two.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's one lost teams winning three divisions and
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: then an undefeated Chiefs team. And then everybody else is
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: three and two who is in the playoff hunt right now.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: What the hell would that say to the team that
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: we're going to put a rookie in now? I mean,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Cousins has 12 touchdowns, only four interceptions, completing about 65%
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: of his passes. Played great. You got to think of
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: the rest of the team. You got plenty of time
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: for Fernando Mendoza. Now you stay with Cousins.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Mike, I thought the more impressive thing in that matchup
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: was the Patriots, and just when Drake May's playing like that,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: this Patriot team doesn't really look like they have too
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: many weaknesses. Do you think if Drake May cuts out
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the turnovers that the Patriots are the team to beat
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: in the AFC?
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: No, I think you still have the Bills, you still
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: have the Chiefs, maybe Baltimore, depending on if Lamar Jackson
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: can be a running threat again. Doesn't have to run
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: a lot, but just to be a threat.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: They're with that.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: As long as That offense gets consistent with the turnovers.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: They're one of the teams. To me, they wouldn't be
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: the favorite if he cuts the turnovers out. Right now,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: they're just inconsistent. They have to get consistency and knock
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: off the turnovers.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Mike, Seattle and San Francisco was the game of the
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: week until Monday night, and then they got replaced. How
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: long can San Francisco keep winning despite all the injuries
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: they're having?
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: It's stunning.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, Kyle Shanahan's got to be the coach of
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: the year with what he's holding together with duct tape
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: and chicken wire.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's absolutely incredible.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: That's why no other team can use the excuse that
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: they have injuries because nobody has more injuries than San Francisco. Now,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: having your pieces like Brock Purdy not getting injured, CMC
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: not getting hurt, George Kittle coming back incredibly well from
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: an Achilles last year, But now Debo Samuel is nicked
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: up because he's been a great re-addition to the 49ers.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: But their defense has been playing well. And Nick Bosa
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: hasn't been back yet. So it is a head-scratcher how
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: well they're playing with the injuries.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Mike, with your work at Westwood One doing color analysts
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: for Sunday night football games, what's your Mount Rushmore of
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: best press box food places.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: That you've been to? Oh, I like that. I like it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: I think Dallas is number one.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Wow, he was ready.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Dallas has great, great.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Press box food.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: The Houston Texans have excellent food. And this past week,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: I did the Monday night game. I did the Rams-Buffalo game.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: The SoFi has a great array of different kinds of foods,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: especially on the dessert table, which I really enjoy. So
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: I would say those three... are probably up there. Dallas,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I think, definitely the best. And I do like SoFi,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: and I like Houston as well.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Right. He needed a fourth, though. He asked for a
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore. You gave him three. I mean... I mean, my....
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: My Mount Rushmore is a little smaller. Yes.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Mike, do you have one where you know when you're
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: on the way to the stadium and you're like, maybe
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I should stop and eat somewhere before because I don't
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: really want what's the spread here?
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Detroit.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Detroit.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: He's never been so prepared for any question in his
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: entire life.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Detroit's awful.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Detroit's awful.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I do look forward. I did Carolina a couple of
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. They have a self-serve ice cream sundae kind
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: of station.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Where they add whipped cream, chocolate sauce. crushed up Oreos.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I went back two times for that and gave myself
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: a bellyache by the third quarter.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: It's like being on a cruise ship.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, it was awesome.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute. I can have as much
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: of this as I want.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Mike, we'll get you out of here in a minute,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: but there are so many big college football games coming
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: up this weekend. So I'll toss them out to you
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: and just give us your thoughts here. Let's start with
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Ohio state at Indiana. What a game, Mike, that's going
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: to be a fun game.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really is.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Indiana, boy, they certainly got tested against Nebraska, right? A
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: three-point win, 20-17. Nebraska was undefeated going in.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Who knew?
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: But their schedule strength was like 126, so they weren't
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: really getting the benefit of the doubt. And then they
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: almost pull off that win. Here's what I say in
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: whatever is considered a close game is Ohio State has
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: The other team doesn't.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: He is.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Clearly, clearly the best player in college football and has
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: been for a couple of years. It is undeniable how
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: good he is. And when you have him, you have
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: the advantage.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: He's special. Alabama at Tennessee. What are your thoughts there?
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Boy, Alabama.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's always tough to look at one play,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: but getting screwed the way they did on that interference call.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: In the end zone against Georgia was that was that
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: was rough. Again, you got a lot of game to
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: look at and such. I just think with Russell, a quarterback,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I think they're very, very talented. And that this Alabama
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: or that that loss could be there could be their
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: only one of the season. What did they drop or
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: they didn't drop much at all.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: They're still at six because it was it was a
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: good loss. I like Alabama. I think they go on
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: a run.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: But a massive game for Tennessee as well.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: That's why I like the playoff, Mike, because Tennessee, this
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: is like kind of a de facto playoff game for
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Tennessee here.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tennessee is.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Sitting at 14 with one loss. If this is their
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: second loss, they'll obviously drop. Yeah, you got to look
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: at two losses because Notre Dame had the two losses
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: last year. Everybody thought they should still be in and
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: they were out. So two loss in a 12 team
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: can be kind of a cutoff depending on how many
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: two loss teams there are.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Missouri is taking on Mississippi. The SEC is crazy. Teams,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: you know, they win a big game, they lose the
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: next game. What do you think about this one?
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: That's the thing. I mean, you win a game and
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: you lose a game, right? I'm trying to say Ole
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Miss is ninth.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Missouri is 13th.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Again, both have a loss. You're getting to kind of
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: mid-season playoff ousters, right?
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Also, again, depending on how close the game is, depending
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: on where you're kind of, like if Ole Miss were
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to lose, how much would they drop, right? Would they
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: drop past 12? And how much would Missouri move up
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: from 13? So I think you have to take obviously
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: all that into consideration. But we're getting to that time.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: If you have a loss and you're playing another ranked
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: team and you're fighting to stay away from that second loss,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: that's big.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Stu, I think Missouri Ole Miss has the best storyline
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: this weekend because Ole Miss' quarterback going into last season
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: was Austin Simmons. Austin Simmons gets hurt. Trinidad Chambliss steps in.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Austin Simmons transfers to Missouri. This is a revenge spot
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: for Austin Simmons.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Austin Simmons is playing some great ball. Not turning it over,
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: just one interception, I think 14 touchdowns. His stock is really,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: really going up. I don't think there's any doubt about
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: that for the next level. He's 6'4, 220, good-sized kid
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: that can move. Got an arm on him. He's definitely
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: moving up.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Let's all congratulate Notre Dame together for finally playing somebody.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Thank you. He's getting mad. He's smiling, but he's mad,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I can tell. All you can do is play who's
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: on the schedule.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you have BYU at BYU this week. You'll be
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: on the call in that game.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Again, hold on, because they're all FBS teams. They're all
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Power 4 teams. Except Rice was. They're all Power 4 teams. So,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, some happen to be in down years. I mean,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: what are you looking for? They're not playing, you know,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: a directional school like a lot of these other schools do.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Beating Belichick used to be a great win. Let's be honest.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, right? Yeah. Are you worried about Notre Dame?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a big game. It's at BYU.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Tough place to play. Interesting game.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, to your guy's point, this will be the
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: best test of the season for them until they play
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Miami on November 7th.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: So, yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: How do you respond to, you know, Wisconsin opening game
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: was 13-10 at halftime.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Then they blew them out.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: North Carolina returned the opening kickoff in the second half
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: for a touchdown. It was 21-20. Then they took charge
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: of the game. But really, in neither one of those games,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Was there a thought Notre Dame was going to lose?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: This will be different. So if this game is close
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: or Notre Dame is behind, how do they react? That's
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: going to be the big test for them because they
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: really haven't had that test yet.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you brought up the Miami-Notre Dame game. It's
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: at Notre Dame. I figured with you calling the games
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: this year for Notre Dame, The box might be open
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: for me, Taylor, and Mikey A to attend that game
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: with your lovely wife.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Should I reach out to her?
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: No.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: That's rude.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I want you guys in that booth.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: So we don't need tickets to the game, but I'm
• 40:06

• 41:22
  Speaker 4: I know they lost the second one, but, you know,
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: let's see what they can do. Tampa Bay was thought
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: to be really the only American League team that could,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: you know, challenge a National League team and looking like
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee now. up two zip on the Dodgers. But my Guardians, man.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: They'll keep it close. They'll keep it close.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Peralta, what a great job he did pitching for Tampa Bay.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: He was just throwing some smoke.

  Speaker 2: Yep, that's what happens when you leave the Mets.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Taylor, go ahead.

  Speaker 1: Mike, I love the segment, Hey Dad, on the Golic's.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: If you were drafting the best chores for, What would
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: be your one-one selection?
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Wow, I think it's power cleaning.
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: It's power washing.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Power washing, and I'll use the word that's in it,
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: it's powerful. You see the results instantly. Yes. You go
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: from dirty to perfectly clean. Through brute force. And it's
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: getting dirt off a deck, dirt off a driveway, weeds
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: out of the cracks.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: It's the ultimate cleaner. It's awesome.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: I would pay to power wash things. That's how awesome
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: it is, you know?
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: It really is. It's instant satisfaction.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: And for a guy, that's very important.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: As instant as possible, yes. That's exactly right.

• 43:07
  Speaker 3: I had to I had to take to pick two

  Speaker 3: games to be off. And I thought the travel from

  Speaker 3: Provo to Green Bay might be a little prove a
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: little more difficult than I want to tackle. So I'm
• 43:17
