• 0:43
  Speaker 1: So let's get to some of these emails. That one's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: too long. Block your ears. I don't really here, Oh
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: my god. The schedule comes out in late April or
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: early May whenever it was. They start work on Miami
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: then like travel plans. Wow, it's a little bit. It's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a turn. That duce just took
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a heel turn right there. We're gonna make a run
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: when next year. This is Patriot's Unfiltered, fueled by Duncan.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: All right, Welcome to Patriots Unfiltered. It is Thursday here
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: at chi Let's Stadium, and it's a big show. For us,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: it's it's deuce, it's tomorrow, it's Paul, it's myself. Alex
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is going to call in from Palm Beach University or
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach Coast Atlantic, something like Palm Beach Atlantic University,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Palm Beach Atlantic University, a mouthful. So I did a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: little research, Fred, I know this was the utmost importance.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I did not play there. Oh you didn't know. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: talked to my boys and we came up with all
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: about Paul. You came up with a bunch of different
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: places in that general vicinity. This was not one of them. Okay,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, and Matt's in the booth um. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we've got all that to talk about. Plus picks, our
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: first pick show one last year. I have that. Yeah,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: we'll talk, we get that, we'll get to that. We
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: have to. Yeah, I brought. I brought last season's results
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: just as a refresher. Nice, nice Dan. All right. Um,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So Patriots had their first official practice yesterday down there,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and all the media but could talk about was like that,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this isn't a football facility. Yeah, okay, Well it's tough
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to find a football facility that's not being used during
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: football season, correct, also, to be fair, there are college
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: games now being played in baseball like fields right now.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Like I remember, I think it was actually I'm gonna
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: bring up Notre Dame. They had their Shamrock series in Fenway. Yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: so what happens, Yeah, it happens that the shot of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the goal post that I mean that was yeah, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: mean that's you know, they don't have goal posts, they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: don't have a football, they don't need goal posts. So
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: they Patriots put together a goal post. So it looked
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: like a throwback. It looked like, yeah, maybe h put
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that to other in May and you know, a bullshit mission,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: no purchase them. But you know, like you know, while
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we were doing our show, Beatle and Zoe had four
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: hours on if is this a good idea? Like does
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it really matter like whether they win or loot? You know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's like maybe Belichick wanted another opportunity for team bonding.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of new faces and yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: some of the guys talking about that today being asked
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: about you know, being away. We're talking to Paul, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: mean some of the you know, older players that have
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: kids and families and you were just in Vegas for
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a week. And you're back for you know, a handful
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of days, and then you're back on the road for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: another week. So I think those things are challenging. David Andrews,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I know, saying in his press conference today that you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's all about football. We're focused. So you know, I'm
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: not I'm not going to kill them if they, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: happen to lose the game. I think for me, it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: just about you know, starting well and playing relatively clean.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a theme that I'll be
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: hitting on right through the pregame show. But you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: if they come out and they and they look ready
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to play, oh my god, that's a lot to look forward.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Just don't fumble it, got stop fumbling it, um, you know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: So I just I just hope that, like you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you don't want to make too much out of like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this being well that was unnecessary because they lost the game,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like you know, But I do think that if they
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't come out strong and they don't look focused from
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the get go, and they don't look like a team
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: that took extra strides to make sure that they start
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: on time and you know, play at least a reasonably
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: clean football game, for a week one that you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that to me will be kind of the sign of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: like maybe this was other than the money it costs,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and it's not our money. So what a week here?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's say they didn't do this, they did
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the same thing they always do. Maybe they go down
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: on Friday and they lose again. All right, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: same thing. You know, they lost again in Miami. You
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: know what. No one would say they should have gotten
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: down on Tuesday. No, they shouldn't. But but at least
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: they're you know, they're trying something. Yeah, you know, so
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you try something. If it doesn't work, you don't do
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: it again. Yeah, I'm with Deuce. I don't think it work.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't work. I don't think it's you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: it has hard itself to what I I'm much more
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: concerned with the things that that Mike brought up, you know, like, yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you're away in Las Vegas for a week, like you
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: sort of like check off the days training camp. Okay,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: so yeah, it's a little it's it's outside of our
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: normal routine. We're not seeing our families as much as
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we normally do. But when training camps over, things get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: back to normal. But wait, we got to go to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Las Vegas for a week. Okay, that's understandable. And you
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: know we we we often have these joint practices. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that's that's, that's part part for the course. That's what
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: We'll wait a minute, and you know before week one
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go away for another week. So like the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: whole team bonding thing, I think can go the other
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: way in a hurry, like I can't. I'm not sure
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: how it just gets how much team bonding you get
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: from dressing in a hotel a half hour away from
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the soccer field that you're you're practicing in that does
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not look suitable for professional athletes to be on just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: visually looks like my yard. Um, I mean you see
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: all the browns. Do you ever see brown spots of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: grass in Florida? Like, I've never seen that. Florida grass
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is different than grass we have up here. Anyway. It's
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: usually green because it's constantly watered. Yeah, but no, but
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it's also a thicker type of grass. I know what
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you're talking about. But I mean that's you know, usually
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: athletic fields don't have that grass. But again, I'm not
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: gonna this one probably does it might I don't know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: It's all brown. I know that where we used to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I used to go to school in Tampa, and you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we go down to the park and play football. And
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: if you see like a brown dirt hill, do not
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: sit on it because it's a red ant hill and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they will bite the hell out of you. If you
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: told everybody that before they went down. Yeah, they were
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: all They're all over friends here, They're all over the places.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So I do have I have some questions as to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you know, but the logistics of it all and it
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and it kind of you know, started when I read
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Mike Greece on Sunday saying him openly wondering, if Bill
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: had to do it over again, given the humidity and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: heat that they practiced in all summer, what do you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: have done it differently? That to me is not like
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Mike Reiss just saying off the top of his head.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I think Mike Reese might have some information there that
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he's sort of thrown out there. Now again, it's not
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: going to be why they lose. If they don't win,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that's not because they're down there. And if they do win,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it's not because they're down there. They're gonna play better
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: like Mike says, they're not gonna give up an Needyard
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: touchdown drive and follow it up with a pick six
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like they did the last time they played down there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: If they win, that's probably not going to happen, right,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: they'll play better. Yeah, I will say, the weather here
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: right now, especially today, is much different than it is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Right now. It's like sixty degrees right now.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you, dodging that Romstein set up, I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: kind of get that part of it today when we're
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: like watching out for forklifts and giant boxes. And I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: think that's the reason why there. You know, Fred brought
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that up yesterday to you and I were talking about it,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and I think, just get out of Dodge. There's a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: lot of crap going on here right now. Well that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: what I was thinking too, just every day them walking
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: through there, having the get right through this area where
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: all the loading dock is and all these crew members
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and everything. So yeah, I mean it's a little thing.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You get out to the field, it's quiet. So I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I'm not like, oh, this is
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: so distracting, how could they possibly deal with this? But um,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just I think they've been taking a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: lot of flak for it, so hopefully it translates into
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: but I think it is is it too much flak?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I like, are we making too big a deal about this?
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm wondering, Like either way, like this is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: a great idea or what are they doing? Like? Either way,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: are we making too big a deal? I gotta I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: gotta be honest. I mean, I said the Paul upstairs,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and like nobody's a bigger fan of like you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: interesting coaching moves and we gotta get bonding and you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: try to you know, get this team together. I love
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you know. For me, this is
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: just it's right now, it's feeling like a lot. It's
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: feeling like a lot, even going down to today having
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to move practice because a thunderstorm, so you know, it's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: like even down there, they're you know, having an adjusting
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So it feels like a lot. To me, it feels
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: like a lot of effort for hopefully what, you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you get some kind of tangible result that you know
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you're you're looking for. Um. But I think people are
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: spending too much time on it like this. If this
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: was reverse, and the Dolphins had came up here on
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Tuesday versus Saturday or whatever day they came. I feel
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: like it would barely make the headlines. Well, I don't know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I think Patriots fans would kill them. I think it
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: would be an absolute major chess checkers there right already.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I know our fans and we would be you see,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he's wearing sleeves. Friend, it's like you weren't here tomorrow.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But do you hear that Houston Texans came and they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: decided we're gonna wear varsity football jackets and our fans
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it didn't go well, It didn't go well. We spoiler
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: alert didn't work. But like anything other teams do that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are out of the norm. We we assume that it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: because we're in their head. How many times have we heard,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you know, when they come up here in December and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they come out for walms you know, Steve Nelson always
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: tells the story. They come out for walm ups, they
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: have no sleeves on. They come out for the game,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they have sleeves on. We know we had them. It
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was over. We're in their heads, right, It's and you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: know what, it's probably not wrong because if you think
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: like that. There's probably something to it. I know if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I was playing, I'd want to be as warm as possible.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Me too, but you know I'm a little frail. Why
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: why would Why do I have to battle being cold
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in addition to battling the other team. I don't be
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a hero. Just just be warm, right, happy, maximize yourself.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's been a big advantage. We
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: would intentionally leave the snow on the slot to matter.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: These are these are real things. I'm not I'm not
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: making this stuff up. Fred will back me up. Oh yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we intentionally leave leave the snow on the sideline when
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: we're playing like a southern team or a warm weather team.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: So when they come up here and like, do you
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: remember Arizona that year? Oh yeah, Kurt Warner looked like
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you wanted to be anywhere on the planet other than
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: lost the game. The moment they stepped up, they lost
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the game. It was over this. If that happened in
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: college football, like someone say Alabama came up to play
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Ohio State in the middle of December and that happened,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it would be yeah. Well, I mean there's an old story.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Russ France has had his helicopter license. And one day
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it was you know, I don't know if the Jets
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: were in town or something like that, and they had
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: done what Paul said. It was the old Fox World stadium.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: They piled all the snow around the side. Well actually
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the snow was still on the field and everything, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: so Russ Francis buzzes over the stadium and his helicopter
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, I'll clean off the field for
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the team. And he goes in with his the helicopter
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: low and the propellers blow all the snow to the side,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and Patrick Sullivan comes running out like what do you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: do when we want it on the field so that
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: they see it. It wasn't the Jet. It must have
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: been some southern team, but he got in trouble for
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: clearing the field with his helicopter. It's funny. There's always
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: little Shenanians going on, and it's you know, it's a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: certain point though, it's like all the Shenanigans. It's like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: let's just line up and play and practice. And I mean,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I think there's also just like a fatigue right now
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: of the summer and you know, all the different the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator stuff and just the storylines that we've just
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: been talking and talking and now it's like kind of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a new little treats up of like oh now they're there,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and I mean, we have something else that I have
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: something else to talk about it. That's what I said
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to you yesterday. I think people were just tired of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: coordinator talk because if they were here, they'd be all right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: who was there? Who wasn't? This is just kind of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: weak one, nothing really to say. I mean, I gotta
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: admit Felger and Mats were cracking me up yesterday with
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you know, they playing the audio with the chopper going
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and then they started playing the Rambo theme song, which
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: just like so had me going they're talking like that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: down I mean it did. It sounded like you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if when they did a site
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: check maybe there was no like planes coming and going.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know because obviously it was researched the plight path, right,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean when Belichick was talking, it sounded
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: like a plane landed on his shoulder. Yeah, it looked
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: like that picture of that beach that has planes landing
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: right on top of it like that. That's what I'm
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: pretty sure that part of the scouting for isn't like,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know, will the press conference sound okay? I don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: think they care about that. And actually a lot of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: noise is something they want, you know, practicing in the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: noise is probably not. Yeah, that's probably not. The Only
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: other thought I had was there's been plenty of choppers
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: landing in a practice all summer long. Remember a couple
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of practices, was like, still we're still idling. They were
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: having fun with it. I mean it was it was funny.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, like I agree with you, Fred, the Bill
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: probably doesn't mind the noise in terms of practicing in it, right, communication,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: communication purposes, stay focused, stay focused? All right, Well, I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: mean tonight we've got a first the first game. We've
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: got the Bills playing the Rams on nbcsdsandrales. Wrong, everybody
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and rightly so, all aboard the Bills hype train. I mean,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that's just the most Super Bowl pict you see Buffalo Bills.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Rightly so not you know, well, they've got the most
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: complete team I think right now. Yeah, Josh Allen, he's
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: he's been fantastic. Yeah, it's the status on all the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: injuries from the summer that they've had, though those guys.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It looks like they're all kind of raring to go.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I think. I mean, I saw players seemed like he
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: was like maybe limited but practicing. I think he was
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: an elbow issue. So it's a great, great first game.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: There was a big thing on Twitter Josh McDaniel had
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: his first injury or practice participation report and they didn't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: have They had zero guys on it. Oh really, oh yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and everyone wow some kind of did they quote him
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: on that? You know, people on what it sounds like
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: in terms of the practice participation. Thank you, Paul Closer
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to Home. This Miami report is no joke. I know
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: who is it? Wattle's got a quad? Yeah, like WoT
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: hasn't really done anything yeah for a while, so I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: think his status is in question. Yeah. Um, but I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: mean they have some important players on here, Toronto Armstead.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I know it says, you know, just not injury related
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: rest but not injury related in week one, Um, you know,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, Miles Gaskin. I think those are two guys
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that factor prominently in their offense. Nick Needham is probably
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: going to replace Byron Jones at corner and obviously Waddle
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: even Van Ginkle give him the vank ankle. Yeah. Um,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and that was another one that was not injury related.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: But um, three guys listed as rest odd yeah oh
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. Well now Waddle hasn't really done much
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and Armstead hasn't done much. Yeah, and Armstead is a
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: key acquisition, he's the left tackle. So but the Peyton
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and the Patriots size too interesting with I mean, of
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: course time Montgomery was out there that was interesting. Is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: but knee listed as a knee I think we all
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: thought it was ankle. I did. And Isaiah Winn with
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the back, which which like kind of fit for me
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because it's been in and out. Couldn't tell what exactly
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it was. Backs can nag, but that's it. Facts can nag.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Do you think this is going to be a problem
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that that's that's a week or two. They don't just
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: go away quickly, you know. Now we don't know what
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it is. Could it could be a bruise back there,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It could be you know, something more serious, you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: one of those compressed vertebrae or something like that. I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. Good though back is affects everything. I mean,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that's you know, and to Linger and what was the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: last one, Paul Jacoby with a with a knee as well. Yes,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that so, Yeah, and you would sort of hinted at
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that with Jacobe Myers. We haven't really seen him look
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: normal since that play in Vegas early in the Vegas game.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Would so, I mean some things to keep an eye on,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: but just a couple of guys as opposed to I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: think eleven from Miami. Yeah, and we'll see how that
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: progresses during the course of the week. On Friday, the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: status could come out and you know, all these guys
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: are good to go, right, who knows? Right? Um, did
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you post the stuff that we wrote for you today?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Is that posted yet? Or? No? Oh? Fred you no?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: The round Table, the round Table, thanks for thanks for reading? No, no,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: not yet. Why would I do tomorrow? I just have
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to I write mine, I know, but you don't you
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: read what everybody else reads? No writes? No, no, no,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that'll go up tomorrow. Okay, so I won't give it away. Yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: now we got some good some good questions the round table. Yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: get to marry on that. Sorry for him. Sorry, I've
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: been doing it through the preseason. I guess no one cares.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I will be the first to admit I do not
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: read a lot of the stuff anything that I don't
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: write on our side. You read the Globe, boy, you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: were all over that today. Was yep, you know what,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that's a good point. That's a really good point. And
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I'm being dead serious because there's no more you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: sentlance of objectivity there is with us on patients dot Com.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I want to apologize to our listeners who I may
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: have been given the wrong idea that there's been some
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: concerns during the course of training camp because I read
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the Globes preview today. Yeah, and I am no longer
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: concerned about any element aspect or anything about you know,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: this show. We love Jacoby Myers, you know, like we're
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: big fans at Jacoby Myers. But as much as I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: like him, I don't think he's like one of the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: best pass catchers in the NFL. That people don't you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: know that, Yeah, you know, that's that's I don't know, man.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of good receivers in the NFL, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you know, Jacoby is good. I could literally spend the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: next half hour picking at individual things that are read
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: in that, but one of the things that was most
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: egregious was Pierre Strong was prolific running and catching the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: ball in college. I wrote Pierre Strong's draft profile. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: spoke to his college coach who told me he will
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: need significant work as a past. Yeah. I was going
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to say, prolific. Is he cut sixty two passes in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: forty eight games. Yeah, that's like a little more than
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: one a game. Yeah, we have to watch our adjectives. Yeah, yeah,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I mean what Paul was doing that though, it was
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: freaking me out. Imagine somebody going through my thing and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you know like that. You know, sometimes you just like
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: write something you're not thinking of, Like I kind of
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: used to run all I know, but this is what
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about, especially in these times, and you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we're not in the dynasty anymore. We're not right about
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowskier, Tom Brady. I think there's a responsibility that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: those of us who cover the team have to be accurate.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Well you know, I know it's subjective, but to be
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: as accurate as you can be, because you know, like,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: if I'm reading this thing today and like Jacoby Myers
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: is the best pass catcher in the NFL, and you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: know Pierre Strong was prolific, I'm like, let's go and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: then it doesn't happen that way, and I'm even more disappointed. Yeah,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I would like's actually rely on what they're reading. Yeah,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I would say like, I wouldn't say he's one of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the best wide receivers. I would probably word it and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: say he's one of the most consistent or reliable. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: wouldn't say best. Yeah, Like, I mean, it's just back
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to my stats, Like, I mean, he's what like a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: s in sixty seventy catch guy, the solid you need
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: those guys, they're better than average. But you know, I
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: don't think he's a somebody who pushes the pace. Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: You know, the first thing I think of is all
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the great receivers that are in the league now, the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: young guys, and you know, there's so many great receivers,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Like there's no where you're putting him in the same
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: list of Davante Adams, Like absolutely not right, Like he's consistent. Right,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: we'll give him that, And we've talked and we're happy
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to have him, and we're happy I think personal friend
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: at this point. Hey, we are exactly twenty four hours
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: apart in age. Like he's born twenty fourth, nineteen ninety two.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'm born December twenty didn't do nineteen ninety two I
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: should have. I don't need this, did you. I don't
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: get out. I don't need to find out my co
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: workers were born after I graduated college. I really don't
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: need that. I I'm not here for that. Yeah. Good.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety two, O god, I was working. I was.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I had a full time job. Yeah, I had a responsibility,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: grown as man. I wouldn't say that that was drinking
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: like the reference ninety two, I was on my fourth arrest,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: so oh oh gosh, fred fred fourth. But yeah, I mean,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and in all seriousness, I have tremendous respect for Jim McBride.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I do. I really. I think I didn't name a name.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't say. People aren't doumb they know who we're
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: talking about. It was he does a great job. He
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: in particular does a great job with injury information. He's
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: he's like one of the go to guys, which has
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: kind of worried me that I haven't seen much from
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: him About Tai Montgomery. It's one of the reasons why
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not bullish on Montgomery's immediate availability. Um, but I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: think that if you we did this a little bit
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: on on my show yesterday Fred with Felger and mass
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: And you know, one of the things that that Fellger
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: asked me is like, well, what are some of the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: things like like how could it? How could it we
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: we have missed all this, Like what are some of
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the things that we could could be wrong about? And
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: how could this go better than we think it's going
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to go. And I said, well, I think there's a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: logical path for that. I think you start off, you
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: have four challenging games to open the season. We'll find
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a way to go two and two in those four games.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And I think that to do that, you're beating teams
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that I think is similar to you. Miami's one of them,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is one of them. Yeah, you know, I think
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: baltim was probably a little bit better, But that's at home.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: You should be able to find find a way to
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: have a chance to win two of those three games.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I think Gak Green Bays a tough ask. Okay, I'm
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: not telling you you can't win it, but I think
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that's a tough ass. Well let's see how they are
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: this year, right, Yeah, No, but I mean assuming Aaron
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Rodgers is Aaron, yes, you know, and he doesn't get hurt,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: which is probably the big X factor. I'm sure he will. Yeah, right,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: But if they go two and two, and then the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: next four games after that, I think is some kind
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: of order of Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago Jets. Those are four
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: games that you really should win with no Deshaun Watson
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland. Now Cleveland is the one, you know, So
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: let's just say, for argument's sake, you come out of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: that eight game stretch six and two, Well, here we go,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and that's where we go. And this is what I
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: said with Mike. I said, all of a sudden, all
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the questions that the players might be having right now
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that you know, the crisis of confidence that might be
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: going on, specifically an offense that kind of disappears if
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you get off to a six and two start and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: he goes, well, and he looks at me, He's like,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that's really not that hard. That's not that hard of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: an argument to make, and I laughed, and I said,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I've worked at Patriots dot Com for twenty three years.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I've been making arguments like that my whole life, right, basically,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: like it's not you're not asking someone to say something
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: that's not true, right, Like getting that you don't have
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to be bullish on the team. You don't have to
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: make up stuff about the team to be bullish on
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the team. You don't have to say that Jacoby Myers
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: is one of the best pass catchers that no one
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: talks about, to say that Jacoby Myers will be a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: solid contributing player to it off. That might be better
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: than we think if they can put the running game together,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: like you can do that without carrying on a little
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: bit too far, right, Yeah, I thought that was I
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: heard you saying that yesterday, Paul, and that was a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: really good point. I didn't really frame it that way
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: until you said it was just that these first two
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: games are kind of against teams that are writing around you.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: It's right around that mix of the second level teams
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that are going to be vine for playoff spots and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: trying not to pump this game up too much because
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: it's week one and you know, like you feel like
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you can always overcome some poor performances in September, but like,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: as you said that, you know they overcame the Miami
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: loss last year and stable to win the playoffs. But
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: you know that's rare. You really need to maximize your
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: chances when you're you know, this kind of team that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: is going to need every win to you know, be
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: there at the end. Right, the teams that you figure
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you're going to be close to when the standings you're
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: sort of good win and figure, we have to win
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: this game. Pittsburgh is a game I look at as
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: kind of a must win, right, Like last year I
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: would have looked at Indie in Miami like that. They
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: lost all three and still found a way to make
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the playoffs over those two teams. Yeah, I think that's rare. Yeah,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I think when you expect to be similar to a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: team like the Chargers missed out by losing to the Patriots, right,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you know that was if the Chargers win that game,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: they make the playoffs and the Patriots don't. Ye, Like,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that's usually the way it happens for the Patriots. They
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: lost those games, but still managed to finish the head
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of Indie blew it at the end, right, they killed themselves.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: They were in the driver Miami too, I mean Miami.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: All they had to do was win that game against Tennessee,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: which was completely banged up at the time, and they
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: couldn't do it. Yeah, Yeah, all right eight five five,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Pats five hundred is the eighth ticket. Hut Line web
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: radio at Patriots dot com is the email address. What
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: else is going on around the league or or here? Yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna have Alex call in and she'll
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: let us know what's going on down at practice. Yeah,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: it seems like kind of similar similar attendants down there. Um,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I think everybody just there
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: are a lot of tweets today of we made it,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you know, people like that's what we made it to
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the regular season opener, Like the off season, we made it,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: We survived. Is there anything worse than like NFL Twitter, Like, oh,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: praise Jesus, it's here. I feel like the super Bowl
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: ends and there's immediate fifty five tweets about how many
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: days there are until training camp opens, And then you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: get closer your fifty days till the opener, and it's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: one hundred. You know, it's like like, well, like I
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: just haven't a million of them. You don't find you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: don't find it, just like we did. You guys an
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: extraordinary amount of tweets like that, Like I get that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: One guy says, hey, you know, fifty days till the opener. Yeah,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I get that same tweet literally like twenty five different
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: times from different different places. I think people, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: they like to, you know, make sure that they have
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of posts and you know that hallelujah
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: probably you know, like, how many memes did you see
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: over the last week with like, um, same kind of theme,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: not the same meme, but the same theme of like
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: a guy ignoring his wife because it's Sunday he's on
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the couch or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just like, okay,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: we don't have anything else. And like I said, I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: get jacked up for the regular season. I'm looking forward
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: to watching the game tonight yea um and wildly overreacting
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to whatever I see because that's what we do, right,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: It's done for the Rams they're out or the bills.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I guess they're not ready to prod time, Like you know,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that's you know that's coming, especially here if they lose tonight, Oh,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: get on your timeline and see oh the Jerry the world?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Oh right, oh how did that go? You know, if
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: that's coming, should have never lost gilmore So, I'm jacked
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: up for that. I'm jacked up for the start of
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the season, but like it's just you know, it's Obilgaitory.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: He got the guy pretending he's asleep so he can
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: watch the football game meme like, yeah, come up with
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: something better than Yeah. The best one I saw was like,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: my husband is a coach of an imaginary football team.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: That is the best for the next Yeah, Mike, because
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: he manages it. He manages an imaginary football team for
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: four months. Well, that was the best. I mean, I
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: don't play it. I don't know about you guys, but man,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of fantasy football posts going around. Actually
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I actually have one. I'm in one league this year,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: are you Yes, Yeah, I shot to be looking at
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it again. But I did draft the team myself, okay,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: because we had a draft in person and that meant
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: beers and wings pizza, so I was there. Okay, it's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: been a long time since I Yeah, but there's a lot.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't look forward to the week that my defense
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: is on a buy, my kickers on a buy, or
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: my quarterbacks on a buy, because I will not be
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: making any transactions, so I'll probably lose those games. Yeah,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Matt's like, I'm gonna kicker. How many fantasy teams you
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: got going man for this year, only four you cut
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: it back for the fourth one is actually the Patriots playbook.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: One winner gets to be on the show with John
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: All fans, Well, you can hope, can't you. There's nothing
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: like um was that clared by management. There's nothing like
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: NFL Sundays with with Matt. Regardless of who scores a touchdown,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Matt's got him on his fantasy team. It's great, he
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: goes nice. Wait, I thought you had the other guy. No, no,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't run on a different league. I'm so far
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: removed from fantasy now. I haven't done it in so
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: many years. It's and I mean I see all these
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: like strategies of like what is it like no no
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: running back this morning when you listen to this Morning.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that before. Again, I'm I'm a neo fight.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I don't play fantasy. But Dave Richard, who's like the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: fantasy football expert for like CBS Sports or something like that,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: was talking about this thing that Mike says, like the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: no running back, no no rbat, Like you wait till
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: like the middle to late rounds because the running backs
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: get hurt so much. Yeah, hit the theory as you
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: get star power at the top with wide receivers that
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: are a little bit more consistent. I've never heard it
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: in my life. I always thought running backs was strategy,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: not a league. It's a strategy. Yeah, but it seems
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: like like analytics are now coming into fantasy too as well,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: so you know, it's like compounding. I listen, I think,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: you know, did you go with the glasses today? I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: have to admit it's a huge thing. I mean, I
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: don't play it like people are so into their fantasy. Yeah,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's I mean, it's obviously great for the NFL.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just I find it hard for you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: maybe people who just want to root for a team
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and don't want to spend you know, the day rooting
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: for a Frankenstein combination of random kind of why I stepped,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: like I didn't really get into it because I like,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: remember Brian we first started, when I first got here.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I remember Brian. When I first Brian would be like
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: completely preoccupy had with who was scoring the touchdown, like
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: in Patriots games. But like I remember Cam Cleveland scored
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: for New Orleans and he was like nice, like that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: hurt us, and I was like, just he goes, I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: haven't won my fantasy team. Okay, Like that was kind
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of why I never really got into it in the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: first place. But I mean, it's gonna be random. They
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: can't be all these millions and millions of people that play.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: They can't all they can't all be wrong. They love it,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: they love it, they love they like the action and
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: going away like the action. I was just wondering if
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: the people who claimed to be experts and have fantasy
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: platforms are actually experts, like if they actually consistently outperform
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the standard. Right if you Berry barely won his leagues, Yeah,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: he won leagues before, but he's the Matthew Berry. If
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you Bury from ESPN, he was like the fantasy guru
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and he barely won. I need to get into Like
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the NFL has like a Fantasy Live show where they
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: go through kind of like what you said, Mike, the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: analytics for each player and why you should draft him.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: But it's just it's just a lot a lot that's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the stuff that's real, you know, Like, um, they have
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: like the projected totals and what like, Like how I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: can I can absolutely understand the appeal of getting together
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of friends and just picking teams. And
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, I tell you the story all the time.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: When I picked my team the one year I did
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: it here with the Patriots, and I picked all the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: guys I liked. I picked Curtis Martin. You know, he
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: was like one hundred and ten years old. He ended
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: up having like the one last great season. I got
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: so lucky. Why did I pick him because I like them?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Not because Cynthia Freuland had him, you know rated to
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you know, be x amount of fantasy points like that,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to me takes all the fun out of it. Yeah, yeah,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: it's it's too much. Yeah. Now if you're doing it too,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: you know, like some people they go on DraftKings and
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: and whatnot, and it's it's business, and it's you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you're playing daily fantasy and you know for football, like
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you know, it's much more than just a fantasy team.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: You're games again, so you can make money that I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: get you do all the research you want for that.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: That's real. That's dam to do that. To have like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: a weekly kind of challenge, but not have like week
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: to week management guys on the bench by week, I
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: leave that. I leave that to Morrell. It's like, I
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: don't I got enough. I got enough time doing football
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: stuff and research, like, yeah, I amazon prepared as ever.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: All Right, five past five hundred is the eight second hotline.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Web radio at Patrice dot com is the email address
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: everybody is calling and emailing. So let's get to our listeners.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: We'll start with Christian in LA. What's up Christian? Hey,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: good morning you guys. Hey it is here. It's Thursday,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: so yeah, it is Thursday. Football, yes, yes, and football
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: starts today, real football. That marriage starts today. So we
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: made a giddy mood. Excuse me, nice, I'm with you
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: on fantasy. On fantasy football, for me, the relevant become
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the inverse relationship to what your team can actually do.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: If you have very good fantasy players, it's telling you
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: your team has a good players. There's no way around it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Good fantasy players means that person is performing well in
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Right, So I get behind it, like, well,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I wish we can have some guys that were big
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: fantasy starts, because that just means that we have guys
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: that are good performing doesn't necessarily mean that Kirk Cousins
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: is a big fan. Correct, Thank you, Fred Hurts me
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and you. You said if Jalen Hurts is a big deal, Like,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: although I think Philadelphia is getting good, it's not good. No,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: there's great in fantasy, but real life too. Kirk Cousins
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: has a winning record at the quarterback. Kirk Cousins. You
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: can keep them, yes, Kirk, you can keep them. You
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: can keep them and win. You're no playoff games? Like yeah,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I mean like so all right, So Kirk Cousins. Who
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: had more Fantasy points last year just out of curiosity?
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins or Tom Brady? I don't know. I don't
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: know the answer. Yeah, tom Brady because he went further
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and so that that allowed him have more more Fantasy points.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: You don't have fantasy points in the playoffs. Yeah, they
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: played fantasy in the playoffs to you guys, come on,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I think they don't. I mean regular leagues, don't they
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: stop in Week sixteen? All right? You put the fan
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: duels that kind of Yeah, I'm not talking about gambling,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: You're talking about fantasy football. You know, seventeen games, who
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: had more points? And my guess is Kirk Cousins. And
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: my guess is like three or four years ago Gardner Minshew, Yeah,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: who was throwing the ball on every down down three
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: touchdowns every game and put up a monster fantasy season, right?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Who would you rather have mention not have a monster
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: fantasy guy? Here's the point. A good fantasy player is
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: usually a good football player. Usually usually you know, they're productive.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: They produced, They produced again, yeah, producing stats doesn't like rattleman.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that woman was ever. Can I
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: ask my daily football question before you guys? Yeah, okay, yeah,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: uh us to go let me myself us than go
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: four and OL. What would have to happen win us
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to go four and OL? I mean, you don't have
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to be dominating right out of the gate. I mean,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I think these games will kind of be
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: flipped the probably a coin flip on at least two
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: of them. Um, you know, just based on but coming
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: out playing, don't beating yourself playing. We have to see
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: things we haven't seen so far in summer, you know, Um,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: it's don't you think you'd have to see more than that?
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Like you'd have to see less from the other teams
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: than you have seen in the summer, you know, like
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers can't play well and you're gonna go for Yeah, like,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we weren't at these other camps, like,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: you know, for all we know, Miami had a crappy
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you know preseason. I don't know. But I'm just talking
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: about our team, like we you know, like we have
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to have an offense that we haven't seen yet, you know,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: for example, stringing a bunch of pofans we haven't seen yet. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. I think we have enough talent
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: to be a successful winning team. I know people have
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: been proving out with talent, but if we really play
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: well together, I think we can. We can win and
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we have. Is that not the same for every team? Right? No,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: some teams just don't have a dog to really win,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: They really don't. I disagree. If the Patriots have enough
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: talent to do that, regardless of opponent, then every other
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: team does too, right, virtually. Maybe maybe maybe Houston doesn't,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe Jacksonville doesn't. But Cleveland does. You know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the Bengals do, the Browns do? You know? The Raiders do,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the Chargers do? Like all of those teams have comparable
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: or more talent than the Patriots. Yeah. So if the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Patriots can do it, and every other team in football,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh certainly does. Yeah, did anybody think Pittsburgh's gonna win
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? In your professional opinion? What is the key? Then?
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: There is so much parody, What is the key to
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: pulling pulling that kind of record off Mac Jones? Yeah,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is it's Matt Joe. Like if
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones is, you know, really good, We're in it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: You need help, Yeah, you need help more than But
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: here's where I'll agree with Christian, And thanks for the call, Christian.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I think on offense, I've been saying this, I'm going
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: to continue to say it. I think we've got some
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: pieces on offense to work with. I really do to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: be good now. Like Tamara has been harping on the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: offensive line, that's the if you can have all those pieces.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: But if the old line doesn't play, if if wins,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: back is hurt and Trent Brown walks off the field
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: after five weeks, oh, when you're a rookie guard isn't Yeah,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: that's that's screwed. I don't care what the pieces are,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I mean, of course Max's going to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: play a key part in it. But I think everybody,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: everybody needs to play well. Everybody that the defense needs
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: to get turnovers, they need to be you know, pressure
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: after pressure after pressure. Um, it's the stuff we haven't seen.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: And I mean there's always a degree of unknown going
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: into the season, but like I feel like even more
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: so this year, where you just you just don't know.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: And I think it's easy to like suspend disbelief and say, well,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: they might actually be a solid team, but I haven't
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: seen it yet, you know, I haven't seen ahead. What
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: concerns me the most is getting off to a slow start,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: like what we saw in the Raiders game, where it
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: took about a handful of series before you finally saw
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: something on the offense. You wait too that too long
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: for that. This Sunday, Miami is going to be up
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: twenty one nine, go back to last year, and then
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: you're going to be fighting in the second half to
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: get points on the board to catch up and wait
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: for the defense to hopefully get stopped so you can
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: get back out there. It's like, if they start off
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: too slow, it's gonna be too late. When's the last
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: time a team you know that you know doesn't didn't
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: really have elite talent on their roster, you know, got
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: far into the playoffs because they played well together. Like
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: who was that was there? You know, twenty Detroit Pistons.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, in that league, it's hard
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: to do it without yeah, like like like you think
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: of like, oh, you know, well Trent dilfer one if
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: they had a great defense, right well, they had elite
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: te man. It couldn't throw thirty yards, they had an
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: elite defense. We we we talked about that. We've been
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: in this area. Like I think last weekend I brought
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: up like the Giants of you know, like not necessarily elite,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: but I mean that might be that might be an
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: example of the two thousand and eleven Giants might have
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: been a comparable team to the Patriots talent wise right now,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and that they got hot at the right time and
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: played well in the playoffs. Yeah that I mean, I mean,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: how many guys from that team could you really name
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: right now? Like you know that that were like oh
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I could name them, but I but I think that
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: like Mario Manningham to me is a similar player to
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: you know, DeVante Parker and Kobe Meyers seem Nick. I
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: think those guys, I mean, they had some good players
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: up front, of Victor. Victor Cruz was really still really
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: really good at the time. But I think you know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: your receiving corps is comparable to those guys. Yeah, you know,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Ahmad Bradshaw and and and those guys comparable to what
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: you have and had. I think that's yeah, you know
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: how obviously Eli Manning was far more experienced at the
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: time than Mac Jones is now. Yeah, but I think
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: that's it's a great point of you know, talking about
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: you expect even years ago Eli Manning not throwing any interceptions,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, playing against his type, you know, And that's
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I think what you have to see a little bit
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that they play and let's not you know, forget that
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: they had a great coach, Tom Coughlin. He knew how
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: he could coach. I think we got that part covered. Yeah, well,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. But that's a big part of it, right,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: And that's what I think gives you hope on this team,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: is that we got Bill Belichick, you know, and it's
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: probably the biggest part reason for hope. Yeah, that's the
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: heart of it. That's the heart of it, and that's why,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about all the issues with
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the coaching and the team going on and everything. And
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: that's why I think, you know, people probably have some
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: trepidation right now because I think for optimistic Patriot fans
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: right now, it's exactly what he kind of asked on
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the question of like, do you think you can take
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: a team that, no, maybe it's not just dripping with talent,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: but that you can get them to play well enough
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: together that you know that they that they're a really
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: good team. And I think that's kind of the you
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: know what everybody thought of the Patriots when you still
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: were not willing to say Tom Brady's the greatest quarterback
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: of all time and you know in the two thousand
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and three, two thousand and four one is before that.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Pittsburgh did that largely last year. Yeah,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: they had terrible quarterback play, but they played well as
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: a team. They had some players, I mean T J.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Watt was you know, and played at an exceptionally high level,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: but they found a way to play better as a
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: team than probably the some of their parts would indicate.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: And I think the Patriots could do that too. I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: don't think that you can go from that, like now
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: you're saying four and all against four teams that you
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: conceivably could be underdogs on all four games. Like that's
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: different to me than say, yeah, we could go nine
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: and eight, ten and seven, you know, find our way
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs like we did last year. I think
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: that could happen. I could, you know, I'll go back
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: to making my arguments. I can make an argument for
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: ten and seven, absolutely, I don't think I can make
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: an argument for fourteen and five. Back to NFL for
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: whatever that whatever, the numbers fourteen and three two complicated
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: for me, math tough. Back to NFL fantasy for a second.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: This from last year, this is wild. First of all,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: the Patriots defense is number two. Oh yeah, they finished
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: for like no. Second in the league in points allowed, right,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: and Nick Folk is also number two for points. Quarterback
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: one is Josh Allen obviously was this last year? Yeah?
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Mac Jones is eighteen. Yeah, but this but what was
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: wild to look at what was Kirk Cousins. Cousins was eleventh,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and Brady was number four or five, okay, eleventh, and
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: then Brady's three. Okay, all right, so that but eleventh
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: overall doesn't back up. It's still a lot. Eleven still
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of points there still three hundred plus points. Yeah,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: season three hundred points for Kirk Cousins. No, but but
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: that's what it should be. I thought that everybody loved
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins because he's a fantasy star. He's not back up,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: you know, by week quarterback. I think it's weird that
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's sixteen. He's well, he missed. He missed a
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: lot of games, that's true. Let's get to the emails
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: web radio at Patriots dot com. Um, this is from Louie.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: He's in Phoenix. I just love that we have people
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: all over the world that email us and call the show.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: That's great, you know, I just just I'm just saying that. Okay,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: one last note before we got Baker Mayfield last, oh, last,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: So he's like three hundred and fifty fifth quarterbacks. He
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: has a second to last. Okay. Yeah. Um, Louis says,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: would you help me with an argument I'm having with
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: a friend. He says, hitting a baseball is the hardest
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: thing to do in sports. I said, it's quarterback. What
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: do you guys think? Let me know when I can
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: get you guys lunch. Well, if the bet rides on
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: you getting us lunched. Then whatever you take, whatever you take.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: But I think that you know, yes, his hardest quarterback.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I think it's the hardest position sports. I agree, But
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: but I think the hardest thing to do in sports
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: is probably hitting that baseball against the pro pitcher. I
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: would agree with you. And I think if you look
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: at there's probably more solid two great quarterbacks every year
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: than there are great hitters. Yeah, you know, and I
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: would say, how many guys hit three hundred nowadays? Right
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: right right? That's because of the shift pall? Not many. No,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I did hard hitting a bit. I mean, you know,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: like we've all played baseball, right, I mean, well, so
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: you've hit a ball, those you've hit a ball with
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: a bat, you've hit a ball with a bat, But
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: none of us have faced I can't see pro major league.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine what it's standing there with that kind
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: of he imagine trying to get in the box and
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: facing me. That wouldn't have been hard. We were we
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: topping out, what were hitting on the gun? Eighty six?
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that that would seem like just I couldn't
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: even comprehend hitting that probably get up to eighty seven
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: on a high fastball out of the zone. Well, I
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: mean last night, in the case had we had were
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the forty five for the for the ten year olds
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: forty five? Still, but I agree with Fred. I think
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the hardest position in all of sports to play is quarterback. Yeah,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I think mentally. Physically yeah, not so much physically anymore.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: But but it's yeah, like Paul said, everything's riding on you.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: You know, decisions from a lot of people will tell
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: you I'm going to play. It took a trip over
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: the deuce's side of the street. Here welcome NHL defenseman.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Hardest would be would be number two. You learn how
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: to skate backwards, You're fine, college defenseman dismissive anything but football.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You learn how to skate back I I can't. I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: can't compare. I just think hockey is fun. I don't
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: think it's like like hitting a baseball. It's like, oh
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: my god, playing quarterback, Oh my god. Like hockey, it's like, well,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: it's kind of funny, flowing like now tennis is in
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: each board to play. But did you see those two
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: guys last night? The way they were pounding the ball
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: for five hours, unbelievable, how hard they hit the ball
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: and how fit they are to do that for five
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: and a half hours. So Freddy, I came up with
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: something last night as I was watching I don't know
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: if you did. You watch the Pagoula match a little bit. Yeah,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: neither one of them, I'd watch most of Neither one
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: of those two women could hold They couldn't hold a serve,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: all right, But you know that's not usually the problem.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: It's usually like seven to six six seven six seven seven.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: And you're like, right, this kind of stinks. No one
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: can break serve. What do you think if they just
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: said no more two serves, just one, just one serve, Oh,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: that would be that'd be something that'd be a major change.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so then if you go for it, you
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: better better be right. You can go for it, and
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: you know you can rely on your your big serve.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: But and and the games would go faster. Yeah, you're
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: getting Paul. That's a huge thing. That's wow. Look at that.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: You know, Freddie. I respect I respect Freddie's You know
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Freddie could play tennis. You know that. Oh I've heard
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: he was good, like legit good. Yeah, Well I grew up.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: I mean Cape Cod it's a hotbed of kind of
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: talent that I know heroin us. McEnroe had a comment
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: last night. Now I can't remember. He said, the next
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: rule change will be blank, and I, for the life
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: of me, you know, Paul bade me think of that.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what he said, but I was like,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: that would that would be a pretty decent rule change.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: No more ads like right and right after I forget
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: what he said. Do you remember were you watching? No?
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: But I do like that idea of the one serve
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: and to you a point um, maybe maybe eliminate the
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: win by two thing for every for everything, for everything,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: like the sets need you need to win by two
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: because then the guy who serves hasn't you know, an
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: advantage if if I can just win six five and
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and the other team, the
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: other guy doesn't get a chance to hold his serve,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: that's not fair. But yeah, everything by twos sometimes can
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: get tiring. Fred, no pickleball for you, But why is
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: it getting so? It's fun to play, it's easy to play.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: You know, it's social, you know, demented and sad, but social.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Last night we were baseball practice and it was like,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: you thought every old person in a ten taken over
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: tennis courts. I hate it. The tennis courts are gone,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: even though I hated it when tennis courts converted to
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: racquetball courts. You know, they're all we could put three
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: racquetball spurts in the space of one tennis court and
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: make more money, and they put it. They put up
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: walls and out to a tennis court. No. No, in
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: the indoor courts. Oh, they converted, you know, tennis into
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: racquetball because you could do three times as many uh
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: as much money. It's like anyone else took me for
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: a surprise. Was it's like a plastic ball too. It's
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: like a whiffleball almost that you play with. It's like
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: a tennis ball. Yeah, yes, I've seen it played, but
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I've never actually played played it. I thought, with your
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: knee you might like it. You don't have to run
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: as much. You can still kind of an abomination. I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: didn't expect a visceral reaction from Oh, I have a
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: visceral I'm not overly surprised by it. All right, we're
• 49:58

  Speaker 1: their car. They're about to leave, so you pull over,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: put your single one and just sit there. So this
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: guy in a big tesla comes up right in front
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: of me. It starts giving me the hands like what
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, mostly go around, go around. You know,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: He's like, he wouldn't do it, It wouldn't go around. Finally,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: you know, he decides, oh, and go around. So he
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: goes around, but then he decides to do a pull
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: up rolldown. He pulls up next to roll down and
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: pulls down the window. So he starts talking to me
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: and I just say keep ff and driving just like that.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: He had the kids in the backseat. I don't care,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: but I just say keep ef. He goes we'll talk later.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know, we won't. That's another great moment from
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: It's one of those days that seared into your memory.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: You kicked his ass later, right, Yeah, met him in
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the food court and it all went down. Yeah, but
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: you know what, I had good tires on my car
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: that day. And Bridgestone is the official tire of the
• 59:41

• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Lunch today was brought to us by Pete and Ottawa.

• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: new thing the last ten years. These tables. You go
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: to a bar and you have to get your table,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: which is like five grand, and then you know, you

  Speaker 1: don't know you big Bobby Burns frequenter. I go to
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Bobby Burns I take out? Takeout is a good food?
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Like what is that? There's a few of them? Oh really,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: I thought there was. They closed the one in Sandwich.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: They don't have enough staff. It's like that everywhere you
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: go now it's just people shorthanded. You feel bad, like
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: waitresses one hand trying to juggle seven tables. It's tough.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: They can't find people. It's true. It's amazing how lazy
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: people are. They'd rather not work. Well, I don't know
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: if they that anymore. It's that they're finding better jobs.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: They don't need to do that, and remote jobs at that, right,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: so many remote jobs, right, And that's like my son
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: was waiting tables on the side. You don't need to
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: do it now, you know. So anyway, might five five
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: pass five hundred is the eight ticket hotline web Paul
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: stepping away web radio at pages dot com is the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: email address. Uh, Sean, it's in Vancouver. What's up, Sean? Hey? Everyone.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: Paul is mentioning earlier in regards to having a start
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: of two and two, you know, and then trying to
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: go six and two. I see that as being really relevant,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and that's why I'm very concerned about them all the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Miami game because I'm I'm wondering if they lose this
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: first game, they could possibly go one and three or
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: go and four, and that could really degrail them. So
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of really concerned about this game coming up. Well,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: like we talked about, Zoe says that these first two
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: games are must wins. I think they're critical games. Yeah,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I would go as
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: far as to say must win, you know, week one
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: and two. Yeah, but they are very important games. And
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, Sean, I think if you lose
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: one of these two, you're kind of staring at one
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: and three. I think Baltimore and Green Bay are going
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: to be difficult games. So what if? So what if
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: they play a clean game, everybody plays really well, but
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: they still lose, How would you feel? I'm hopeful I
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: would feel really really bad at least if those things
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: that felt I could clean up and win. Yeah, now
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: you're your scenario is we're just not good enough. That
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: would worry. But I think there's some gray in there
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: tho though, Like you could lose a you know, just
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: a straight up game. We had a turnover, they had
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: a turnover, they had the last play, you know, like
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: I'm operating under Tamaris parameters. They play well, not turn
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: not turning the ball over like they play well. What
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: if it's like like one of those great games, like
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: when you see just really good games with two teams
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: that play really well down to a field goal y
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: s they lose forty eighty eight, I'll be disappointed, but
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: I feel better about that than I would like losing
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty. Yeah, I'll say, okay, next time, we'll make
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: that stop. And you know, i'd be okay with you know,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: there's so many I mean, there's so many ways games
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: could go and you win or lose, you come away,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: you could win and come away feeling like, you know,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: we locked out. We shouldn't have really won that one, right,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: I get it. I'm gonna know what you guys are saying.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I was just I was trying to tackle Tamara's Yeah,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I'd rather play bad and win then play good and lose.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: But like, despite falling at seventeen nothing hole, we still
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: came back thirty four seventeen. Yeah, as your point, Paul
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: about the fantasy camaraderie, I came back here for well
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: Parstlely to do our draft. We do every year for
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: ten years, and we used to get together in person.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: That ended with the pandemic. I was hoping it would
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: start up again, but no, we were just at home
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: doing it online. I was just at my friend's place,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: So I really missed that. That was a huge part
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: of it, for sure. Yeah, that's that's the only hiller
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: for me. No, I respect I mean, I love people
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: that have done the fantasy, like the league, like group
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: of friends that have done it forever, that have running
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: you know, themes and things on the line and stuff.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: It's just way too much. It's tough for me when
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: it's like I have seven different leagues, and five of
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: them I don't know a single person in that league,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: and like those ones that's it just seems like it's
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: too much, pretty too much effort for me. Absolutely. Christian
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: writes in from Colorado. He says, who in the Miami
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: game do you see having the most surprising stat line
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: on offensive defense? Mine is Mac three hundred twenty five
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: yards passing, three touchdowns defense Mills with two interceptions and
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: six tackles. Stats aside agree would duce. If we play
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: a sloppy game, the team will have sloppy results, both
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: offense and defense. Prediction Patriots stunt everyone thirty five twenty one.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: I like this optimism. Thirty three hundred and twenty five
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns were back. That's a lot. I mean,
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: I don't and I don't know about and I like Mills.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: I think he's good, but I don't I don't know
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: if he's maybe one I could see maybe, um, you know,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: some of the interior guys picking up some maybe maybe
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: picking up you know, urpo stuff, get two off rhythm.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: He doesn't. He'sn't quite sure what he's seeing. All of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, Adrian Phillips is popping out from
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and you know he throws it
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: right to him. Um, but you know it's hard to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: see with the separation abilities that waddle, and he'll potentially
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: have to see Mills getting a lot of hands on balls,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, it really have to be some tight
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: throws from from two to make that kind of happen.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Sping Fresno writes twice, I was in and oh today
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: I never miss spiing Fresno. I love Jacoby Myers, but
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: why does he only have two touchdown catches? And was
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: it one of those from Hoyer and garbage time? He
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: seems competent in the open field, but when things shrink
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: in the red zone, does he struggle to get open
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: or is the quarterback not finding him? Or is it both?
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would say I think, I mean, I
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: think it's it's a little bit in the in the
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: end zone. I feel like you either need to be
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: quick to get away from guys, or you need to
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: be big to win contested catches and fades and stuff
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: like that. I think he was pretty good in Vegas.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: He showed a couple contested catches. I don't know, I'd
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: forgetten if he had any here, But it was something
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: that showed up to me that that maybe could be
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: potential for him to be a little bit more of
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: a red zone threat, just his ability. I mean, he
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't have pretty good size for a receiver. I'll remember
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: early in the season last year, Mac didn't even throw
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: it into the end zone, so like no one had
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: any chances that was an issue. Yeah, I mean I
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: think if he only threw twenty two touchdowns, but it's season. Yeah,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's Parker Parker and Hunter Henry probably
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: are the big red zone guys this year. I would guess.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: I don't really worry. Like, I think Jacobe Myers is
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: a good, solid receiver. The fact that he doesn't catch
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of touchdowns doesn't really bothers. I mean, that's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: a ton of touches anywhere it would. Yeah, Like, I
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: just think inherently that position doesn't know you're you're the
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: third down. You know, that's I mean, that's what he does,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: find the open hole. If you had an offense like
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: last year, like I said they didn't, they weren't tremendously
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: efficient throwing the ball um and getting passing touchdowns. Now
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: Damien Harris rushed for fifteen, so they were able to
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: score touchdowns. And like to me, there's a general amount
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: of touchdowns you're going to score as a team. And
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: as long as I'm reaching that, let whatever that number is,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know off the top of my head. You know,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, what are you getting like
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: forty forty five touchdowns? You know as a team? Is
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: that sound right? You know? For a sea probably so
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: in there, you know, let's I mean twenty two and
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: fifty math math is math is so unless you're all
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: of a sudden coming up one year and Jesus, you know,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: we scored forty seven touchdowns last year. We only scored
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: thirty three this year. Now that's an issue, the fact
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: that your receivers aren't catching touchdowns, you know, because you're
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: not scoring. But as long as you you scored forty
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: seven last year and then forty seven next year and
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: then maybe fifty the year after that. I don't care
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: who gets them right, as long as as long as
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: the team gets them. It's also another thing that's skewed
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: by fifty hanging fifty on the Jags. You know those
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: games where you had a lot of output in a
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: handful of games, right and inmit it out, you know,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: like but you know, like Hunter Henry had nine touchdowns,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: so I don't need Jacoby Myers to have nine as well,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: like Jacoby. That's I mean, Hunter Henry, that's a good total,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: Like nine touchdowns. Someone's going to score the touchdowns, It's
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: basically my point. Yeah, And Jacoby Myers is helping move
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: the chains right lead to those touchdowns, so I feel
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: like he still do parts. But I do think to
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: answer the emails question, Mike, Mike had it right. I
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: think slot receivers in general probably aren't the greatest red
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: zone targets. Now there's exceptions. I mean, I think welkerhead
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: eight one year, but that was that was like oh seven,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: you know, right, Um, there are a lot of touchdownss um.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Ryan writes in I just started listening this offseason, and
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see how every they were men in
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: the regular season. My question is, if you could add
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: any current player to our roster from any other team
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: for the next season, who would it be. Personally, I
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: would want Jalen Ramsey. I could see the argument for
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: a star wide receiver or maybe even another pass rusher.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: I just think the secondary needs someone who can be
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: a lockdown corner. I'll take Josh Allen. I mean I
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: like that pick. Davante Adams. I might take him after
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: watching what he what he can do in Vegas. I mean,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's a he's a game changer. Non Quarterback edition. Yeah,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: I love Deebo Samuel's Freddie. You have always loved him. Yeah,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I like him Fred. But the fact that he doesn't
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: want to run the ball at all, well, I talked
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: to him. I'm sure have done at all a little bit.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: If you give me a little bit, I'll pay you.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know that with McDaniel cohn, if he's still
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: gonna if they're still gonna do that as much I
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: would I would. That's a good question. Like again, non
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Quarterback edition, I think maybe I would go with a
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: like an elite pass rusher like Bosa, something like that,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: or one of the Watt Brothers, t J. Watt or
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Nick Bosa. Yeah, yeah, someone. I think I can get
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: a disruptor, you know, eighteen sacks from him. I think
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: that would change the complexion of the dive constantly involved.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: But I mean his suggestion of a great corner is
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: good too. I would take Xavian Howard or Jayar Alexander,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Mashawn Lattimore, one of those guys. Yeah, Mike writes in
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: UM super excited to get back to some football, starting
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: with tonight's game. I believe if the old line could
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: play well, then we have a chance to win. What
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: is your confidence level in the offensive line? Who's healthy,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: who's not? It seems like wins battling. I'm on the fence.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: On the fence, I think there's I think there's real
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: questions with that group. And I mean, I said to Paul,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: don't I don't really get into the whole buying of
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: it all as a team, but I kind of questioned
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: the buying at that position on the edges, and I
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: think that those positions are critical and if they decide
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: to take a player two off, it could be bad
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: things for Mac Jones. Freddy Mike is talking about you know,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: the tackles and some of the things that we've talked about,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: just to get the listeners up to speed. Trent Brown
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: signed to stay here, signed an extension as a right tackle.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: According to him and his representatives, Mike Giardi sort of
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: alluded to the fact that he's not happy about that.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Right signed as a right tackle, he's now playing left tackle.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: For those that don't know, left tackles generally make more
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: money than right tackles. And at the same time, Isaiah
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Winn moving from left tackle to right tackle as he
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: enters the fifth and final year of his rookie contract,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: is theoretically now not as attractive on the open market
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: when the season's over is he would have been had
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: he continued to play left tackle. Now it looks to
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: the rest of the league he's not good enough to
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: play left tackle. That's why they moved him. So there's
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: speculation that he's not happy about it. I think that's
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: what Mike is talking about. What it is, I mean,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: and you know, just throw in you know, some of
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: the tweets Trump, I'm ready to go home, you know,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just and and some of the plays
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: during during preseason that you know, it's just it didn't
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: look right, and I think it's a non starter. If
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: your offensive line doesn't come to play and you don't
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: win up front, you don't win those battles in the trenches,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, give him Ac the time open up
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: some running lanes. It's just it's all been connected this
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: preseason and nothing's really been consistent. Tom Fremaine writes in
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: I know a lot has been discussed about the Patriots
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: leaving for Miami early, but has any consideration been paid
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: to this being the first road game season opener since
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: the change of the preseason schedule. With two weeks between
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: games now, there is more flexibility to travel early for
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: the opener. It's a small sample size, but do you
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: think this might become a trend for Bill in the
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: next few years for road openers. Also, Bill has said
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: for years that longer road trips for the team also
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: helped create bonding opportunities, and not being on the same
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: page has also been a criticism of the team this offseason. Yeah,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think that'll be a trend. I mean, I
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: hear what he's saying, but I also think that you
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: can do too much. You know, It's not like, oh, well,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: if we just sequested our team for the whole season,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: they'd be the team that gets along the best and
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: plays the best. Like it doesn't work that way. It's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: it's a balance. And again, I'm all for team building
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: stuff and hey, let's show him a movie and all
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: those kind of things that you do off the field
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: to get guys. You know, I really believe in that
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: of teams that like each other and genuinely all kind
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: of get along. I just, you know, from my own experience,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: those are the teams that do well. But you know,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: what point is too much? The teams that do well
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: are the ones that like each other well, I mean,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: I got I mean, I just I always go to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: my own experience of it. And you know, the teams
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: that I played on where there were little factions in
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: the locker room of guys that you know, coach would
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: come in and give a speech in any leaf and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: then you'd have one of those one or two guys.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you have one of those two guys being like,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: you know, don't listen to him, you know, I mean,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: that would be the vibe of it, and it'd be
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: like you know, and then especially for me, in those
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: instant that a younger player who you know, isn't quite
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: sure what the dynamics are of playing college hockey in
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: my experience that you know. I just meanwhile, when you
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: had a team, when I got to my senior year
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: where we love the freshman we were a tight knit
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: group of seniors. And I know that this is oversimplifying things,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: and a football team with fifty plus guys, it's a
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: little bit different. But I just think that there's a
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: line that you can cross where guys are like, man,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: we're getting burned out. We're always together. We need to reset,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and have a little balance of our of
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: our personal lives as well to you know, know the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: value of this. So I don't know, we'll see how
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: what this team is like and what they play like
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: in in in the moments where it's all on the
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: line and you gotta have it, because in recent years
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: then when it's on the line and you gotta have it,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: they haven't really had it. So we'll see if this
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: makes a difference this year. And I would just say
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: about like, I don't think it will be a trend.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: I think that there are factors that Fred talked about
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday that haven't really gotten enough attention just with the
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: amount of activity going on at the stadium. If that's
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: the case again, next the next time that they open
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: the season with a road game, and you know, maybe
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: they do it, but for the reasons that are being
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: talked about with all of the team bonding and whatnot.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: And now you have the added time from the end
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: of the preseason to the regular season. What difference should
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: it make if it's home or away. Yeah, Like, if
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: the if the idea is to get the team together,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: and I have sixteen days between the last preseason game
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: in the first regular season game, why wouldn't I just
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: take them away somewhere to practice. Yea, if even if
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: it's a home game, right, That's why I don't think
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: it has anything to do with it. I think some
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: of the stuff you talked about with the Bramshot Sturbridge
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Village get a little early Christmas shopping and they don't
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: they're busy around the holiday. But you know, with the
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: concert here, in all of the activity here, I think
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of obstacles that are affecting potentially how
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: you're getting prepared, and I think that has something to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: do with it. The weather absolutely is a factor you know,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: to ignore the weather as a factor. I think is
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: is wrong. But I think if you're playing, you know,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: say at the Jets next year, do you think they're
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: gonna go to Long Island? Long Island and practice for
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: a week? Right? I mean, I'm not trying to oversimpliz
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: I just I think this is a unique situation. He's
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: trying something in a place that they have had no success. Yeah,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: that's what I said. Just so they tried it. They're
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: trying something. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. And
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: if it does work, I don't think it's going to
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: be the start of a new trend, is my point.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Anthony writes in um, this is a quick uh who
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: am I game? All right? As we're coming up to
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: pick soon play or a do you know how to
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: play this game? Tomaron? Now, I say clues one clue
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: at a time, and you can guess at any time.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: But once you guess, you're out if you're wrong. So
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: who who is this? First player? One? I played my
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: college ball at North Carolina and I was drafted by
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: the Patriots in the third round. Two. I played for
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the Patriots twice, with the Vikings and Panthers in between stints. Huh.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: And finally, I hold the Patriots record for longest interception return. Man,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: this seems like a deep dive. Jimmy Hitchcock player too.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Hitchcock went to NC State City. Oh, that's what
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: screw me out, screwed me up. I'm gonna do this.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: You gotta get it right. No, No, I want to.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure I apologize if I'm wrong.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: I thought Jimmy Hitchcock went to NC State though, but
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: searching it, I know he had no knee cartlet University
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: of North Carolina. Oh yeah, Chapel Hill. Okay, so good good.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: Second player. I was born in Alabama and played my
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: college ball at Iowa. Born in Alabama, played college ball
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: at Iowa. Okay, I hold a seventh degree black belt
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: in karatep Right there you go. I didn't know he
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: was born in Alabama. Yeah, he was born in Jersey. Well,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: he ended up moving to he grew up in Jersey.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: I know that. I know that for new work, New work.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Third player. I was a first round pick by the
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: Patriots and first round pick and wish they could switch
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: to another player drafted later in the round at the
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: same position. Oh, I was a first round pick that
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: the Patriots wish they could switch to another player drafted
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: later in the round at the same position to kill Harry.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: That could be a lot of people too. In your year.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: I set four season records for the NC Double A
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: and still didn't win the Big Ten Player of the
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: Year award. Finally, I hold the Patriots record for being
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: sacked in a single season with fifty nine. Oh god, Oh,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Tony Eason, mister Denham, Tony Tony Easton, mister Denham. Yeah,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: he used to wear like the denim jeans and the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Denham jacket all the time. You guys would make fun
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: of He just broke the rules. You allowed him to
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: guess twice. He can't do that too. Two more, I
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: played high school football and wasn't given a scholarship for
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: college until someone dropped out last minute at my school
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: in Texas. Wes Welker, yess Welker. We should uh add
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: that we had some Twitter mentioned yesterday Adam Gays indeed
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: played high school football. That's right, thank you gonna say so. So.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: I've yet to hear of a football coach who never
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: played football. That just doesn't make sense. Doesn't make sense.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Didn't McDaniel. Yeah, well that's how it started. He played
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: at Yale. Yeah, he was a wide receiver at Yale.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: He looks like he went to you said. Finally, I
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: played my college ball at USC and was a first
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: round pick when Paul had hair, William ac guinnis, No,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: you're out, I'm out. I put all I went all
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: a hair in the nineties, I went all in. Yeah.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: I wish everything that he said was was. I passed
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: away in twenty twenty one. Now I have a guess,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: but I have to keep quiet. And finally, I hold
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: the Patriots all time record for rushing yards. Oh I
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: do know. I no longer have a guess all time
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: record for rushing Sam the Bam cunning Yeah. Yeah, that's
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: that's bad. I should have gotten that one. That's bad.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: That's bad. Let's see that was that was well done.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: You had a good mix of current, old and in between.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: I agree, well done. Yeah. And they weren't obscure, Yeah,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: you know they were all Yeah, I mean, Tip Easton Cunningham.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: Who's the other one, Hitchcock? You know none of them
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: were obscure. Um, straight up football question. This is from
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: Kevin in Dublin, what do you see as Dolphin's biggest
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: on paper strengths? Speed, yeah, absolutely, Playmakers yeah, playmakers at
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: the skill positions Xavian Howard, Jalen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, like
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: that's their biggest strength to me, uh, Richard is from Gloucestershire, England,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure if Eric was here he would correct
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: me and how to cross that. He's not first time emailer.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: Ding ding Ding found your podcast a couple of years
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: ago during COVID. Haven't missed an episode since, really enjoying
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: the addition of Tamara evan In particularly Alex and the
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: content is as good as ever. I should just leave down.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: You should call. I know a couple of points in
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: a question Fred, everybody has their favorites to America. Don't
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: take it first, hair flap, Fred, your your feel for
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: the league, he puts that in quote is unquestionable, and
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I generally sign myself for Green with you most of
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: the time. When it comes to donuts, I've got to
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: side with Paul though. I had my first Boston Cream
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: donut last weekend and it's definitely up there as one
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: of the best. Sickeningly sweet to Nope, Nope, he doesn't
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: like things that are good. Nope, too much, too too creamy.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: It's just it's Yeah, I like cream. Anything will cream
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: like if it was real, You're right, cream, then I
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: would eat it. Yeah, describe pudding as creamy though it
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: is creamy, but it's different than cream, and a whipped
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: cream is different than pudding. Yeah, you know, put like
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: vanilla putting a little bit apprehensive about the upcoming season.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: Just can't see us getting twenty plus points on the
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: scoreboard in our d getting enough stops each week for
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: us to make the playoffs. With this in mind, any
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: suggestions for how I can convince my forty nine ers
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: supporting wife that we should raise our two year old
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: son Jack as a Patriots fan. Hard argument to make
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: at the moment. Game prediction. Hart says seventeen fourteen Patriots,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: but Head says twenty four to sixteen Dolphins. Okay, So
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: how do we convince Richard's wife that they should raise
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: their son as a Patriots fan? They both have history? Yeah,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: you can't use the history thing, right, And there's Dolphins?
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Is that? What was the other team? No? It wasts Well,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: you like Mac better than Trey Lance? Maybe? Well, but no,
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: but this is the whole thing, Like, it's not just
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: like the current team, it's like, you know, the aura
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: of the team. How do you why would you want
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: to be a forty? I think the Patriots colors are better, yeah,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: in the location and then then someday you can take
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: your kid to and it's new for the Freedom Trail
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: and you know, you know they live in England, this
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: is New England. Yeah, I would agree with that. But
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: you think the Patriots uniforms are better than I didn't
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: say the uniforms, well, their colors are better than the Niners. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: I think the Niners seven good unis Yeah, yeah, timeless.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: I think colors are better. You know. I'm I happy
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: to like America red, white, and blue. So that is true.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: That is one thing that you have America that's a
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: little different than most. I agree with you, Yeah, I
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: think so, though you got more of a connection. It's
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: a shorter flight too, yet shorter flight over the pond.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Nice just to cross hair. Yep, you can come over
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: and see where you know, the Americans defeated the British
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: at all different sites around here. Huh huh. And as
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: expensive as it is to live here, it's even more
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: expensive over. I mean, we could get Aaron Salkin on
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: here to talk how home values in the Bay Area
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: and he'll kill running right down for you. Absolutely not
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: as good. I'm out of this conversation. Why you like
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: San Francisco better? Yeah, well, I mean technically the forty
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: Diners are not located in San Francisco. Let's just start
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: with that. That's right, they're in Santa Clara. Yeah, so
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: like an hour away from San Francisco. Right, at least
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: we say where we are. We're New England, were not. Yeah,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: we're in New England what Foxborough was not. We're not
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: the Boston Patriots, but we're the New England Patriots. That's
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: why we chose that name. No, No, it's kind of
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: New England, kind of like the New York Giants and
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: the New York Jets. That's not in New York, right,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the New Jersey Giants and Jets. I mean, at least
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: the Giants used to practice in New York. They don't
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: even do that now. Everything is in It's egregious. I
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: mean they still do. I feel like most I mean
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: even Washington, New York is not in Washington, DC. Do
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: they have they have a New I don't think they
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: didn't move out of New York, did they? I thought
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: they did. They're not in Hempstead anymore. I don't think so. Really.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's like, is it Florian Park or something like? Oh? Right,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: so where is Florence? Maybe that's in New York too.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: I think it is. I think it's in one island,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it might be right. We'll make
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: your weight, all right, picks, we gotta hurry. Where is
• 1:26:23

• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: they're both New Jersey. They're frauds. I mean, if we
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: called ourselves to Boston patriots, people will have the right
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: to call us frauds. We don't do that. We are
• 1:26:40

• 1:28:09
  Speaker 1: fish eyes. So what's going on down there? Alex Alex Hell, yeah,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: what's what's going on down there? Yeah? Um? Pretty uneventful
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: availability today, not gonna lie a lot of questions about
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: the facilities in the fields, and how the players like
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: practicing there. Um, they didn't seem to think it's much
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: of a big deal that they're playing at a D
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: two college that doesn't have a football field or a
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: football program for that matter. But they just seemed happy
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: to be playing on grass. Yeah, and um, remember when
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: in Rocky four, I think it was when he went
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: off against the Russians went off the grid. Yeah, he
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: went up in the woods, and that's us right now. Yeah,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: you know we're spartan, We're like roughing, right they got
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: if the computers were like, no, we're just gonna hike
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: a mountain. Right. What really reminds me kind of of
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: like a captain's practice from high school. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: where you're maybe a side field, not the primary one,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: and kind of just throwing it all together. But I
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: don't know. It was behind the VFW hall. Go to
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: that second tree, take it out on that one. So um,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: how about attendance everybody there today? Yeah? Um, everyone from
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster, um, Harvey Langy from the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: practice squad was back. The only person I did not
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: see was Cameron mcgron. But it seems like we're in
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: really good health. How else, how is have you seen
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 1: time Montgomery actually moving it all? Like, does he look
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: like he's moving? Okay, any limp or anything. We really
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: just really just got to watch kind of a stretching
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: period and some basic drills. I've seen him around the
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: hotel a lot and don't notice any weird things with
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: his gait, No real limping. So that's a good sign
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: for sure. Interesting. I'm surprised. Usually when guys get carted off,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: you kind of say goodbye. But that's great. New cards
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: aren't what they used to be doing. I guess not.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: So was it Paul Pierce that changed stretcher it off? Oh? Yeah,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: yeah he was one. He was another one was ridiculous.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: Every injury was like career and carried him out. I
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: didn't have to go to the bathroom. I thought that's
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: what it was like. You just had to take a lead.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: He confirmed show that he just had to poop pooped
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: himself the court. Oh hey, we've all been there, ye
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: have we? I remember when Ed Pinkney came out with
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: the shorts on backwards. Yeah, you got to change him. Yeah?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: All right? What else? Said Alex? All right, we need meteorologist, Alex.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: What's what's the did did the thunder come in that
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: they moved out to you guys? Are you guys are
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: breaking up a little bit? But I think, oh, oh,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: the lightning strike hit. It's just as you all right, Well,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: we'll let Alex go Alex there, are you all right? Well? Anyway,
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: it's that time of the Yeah week, Matt, he's on
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: the phone, Tell her, tell k at her later. All right,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: it is picks. I'm excited Week one of picks. Paul
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: last year, why don't you remind us who one just
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: listen to the records to marry Among the members of
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 1: the show today, Fred Paul one forty eight one twenty
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 1: one and three. With the spread, This is with the spread,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: With the spread, you know, this is where the rubber
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: meets the right. You know, some might say nutcutting time.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: This separates the wheat from the chafe eight one twenty
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: one and three. With the spread, Paul and Fred tied
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: Mike one three six and three. Who Bad's bad? Did
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: you just you know, pick the teams that we pick against?
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: It would it would statistically appear that overall um I
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: was one seventy four eighty seven and one Fred Mike
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: was one seventy three, ninety eight and one and Fred
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: was one seventy one on one on one. But as
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: we know overall, that's just yeah, anybody can do that.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: So so Matt, is this something going on with the
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: headphones or something you because I'm like kind of going
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: in and out. I'm fine, yea ye, your connection tomorrow.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: So how we do this is we go around the
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: table starting with dudes, and you pick the game outright
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: and then against the spread. So you're making two picks
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: and you're allowed to like give a little bit of
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: you know, reasoning, and you want you know why you're
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: picking the way you're picking. U. We'll start with tonight's
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: game eight thirty on and be sure. Uh it's Buffalo
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: at the ROMs, right, and Buffalo Buffalo is favored by
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: two and a half Buffalo minus two and a half. Right, Yes,
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive being favored on the road against the
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs. I don't think who are They've lost
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of peap they lost von Miller and j
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: but they also added Bobby Wagner, so you know, Alan Robinson,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: Alan Robinson, some good pieces, great game. I'm excited, Uh,
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna stick with the with the train
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna take Buffalo both ways. I think
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: that you know they win, maybe not walking away, but
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: more than three points. Certainly give me the bills both ways.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: So now it's your turn. Wait, I need to go last. No,
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: you go second. Don't ever done mess up the rotation. Wait,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: so you said you're picking Buffalo. I picked Buffalo both ways.
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna win outright, and they'll win by more
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: than two favored by two and a half, so they'd
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: have to win and buy three or more in order
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: to cover. She's gonna be all of us, and she's
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: like playing the Rams of the home team, and that's
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: why they plus two and a half according to your
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: sheet there. So if it's like a one point game,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: So if I think that one, I don't think that
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win by more than just if I think
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna win by more than I think they're
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: gonna win, but not by more than you do. You're
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: taking Buffalo, but you're gonna win by less than three points. Okay,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: So that means you're taking the Rams with the points, right,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: So you're just taking Buffalo to win. But the Rams
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: to cover. So what do I do? I saw him
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: like circle, and so I circled. I am the official Paul.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: I just do my official book here. Okay. But because
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: he makes sometimes I do not. I do not cheat cheat.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: I said, sometimes you make, you'll take the plus take
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: the plus two point fatch. This is all in acting.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: Just so you know. The only one I've ever had
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: problems recording the the answer to is Eric. I've never
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: had a problem with Mike. I've never had a problem
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: with you, Fred. But when Eric goes into one of
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: his twenty five minute dissertations on the Seahawks Broncos game, right,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: sometimes I lose track of who we actually think that
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: has not happened otherwise. Yeah, So Tamara, I have recorded
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: as Buffalo outright the ROMs with the points yep, Okay,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: I am going to take the rams both ways because
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: I just feel it's a tough spot. I think everybody's
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: on Buffalo. I think it's a rare situation where the
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champs and that there's a night game
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: are really not getting any love at all, and I
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 1: think that they'll come out and have a chip on
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: their shoulder. I like it. Yeah, I mean, I was
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: a little worried like two weeks ago when they were
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: talking about Stafford having a thing that I saw the
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: story that you read it. Yeah, he had like that,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: the PRP injections with Clayton Kershaw, they kind of had
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: the same thing. And they're high school and they went
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: to high school. Feld have friends. Says he feels much
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: better than he did at this time last year. See,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: Paul's a big Stafford fan. Loves him, so if he
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: says he's okay, that makes me feel better. And like,
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: I could see myself picking the bills here, but man,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: I love picking against him now, you know, so I
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: will go. I'm with Paul la both ways. Right Sunday
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: at one, No LANs at Atlanta New Orleans by five
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: and a half. You know. So Jamis Winston's a go
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: He's so goofy. I just like I can't believe that
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: he's a good quarterback. He's so goofy. I like, I
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: love him. I can't believe he's good. I can't believe
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: they're good. Michael Thomas is back, Alvin Kamara, Jarvis Landry.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's uh who's tossing the ball for Atlanta.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: The Marcus. Yeah with with Coral Patterson, Kyle Pitts, Drake
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: London making his premiere, Brian Edwards from The Raiders. I'm
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna go with New Orleans, but you know,
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 1: I think a weird division game. I'm gonna take the
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: points for Atlanta, think that that it'll be a little
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: bit surprisingly close. But I'm gonna give the Saints to win,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: but I'll take the points for Atlanta. Yikes. I'm gonna
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: go Saints because I still think Jameis Winston is good,
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: even though he's had his moments. I think since he's
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: gotten his LAIC that he's a much better quarterback. So
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: Saints to win the game and cover. Yeah, Okay, they're
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: gonna win by more than five and a half. She's
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: got it down now. Okay, Yes, I am also going
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: to take the Saints, but I'm with Mike. I think
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: Week one Division game on the road. I'll take the points. Yeah,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: I will two same way Saints to win, but they
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: don't cover. Sunday at one, Cleveland at Carolina the Baker
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: Mayfield Bowl, Carolina by one and a hey, that's one
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: and a half. Sorry Carolina, one and a hey. I
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: got it to adjust that one. It was previously two.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: So Jacoby Brissette, the Browns, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, two
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: guys that are pretty good back somewhere around Cleveland. Don't
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: think they have much of a shot this year. Yeah,
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: apparently that's the word on the street, word from from
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes. This is a toilet bowl. I'm sorry,
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 1: this game is bad. I'm gonna I'm gonna take you know,
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: I saw Carolina here. I do think they're a little
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: bit healthy. They were pretty good out of the gate
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: last year before it all fell apart, So I'm gonna
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: take I'm gonna take Carolina. Um both ways same. I
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: wish I could pick neither honestly, because they're both terrible,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: but I actually think Cleveland's pretty good. Um, they don't
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: have a quarterback and that will ultimately knock them out
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs. But I will take Cleveland to win
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: against Carolina. I thought I'd be the only one picking
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: Carolina both ways, but that's what I'm gonna do. Um.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: You know, their joint practice with the Patriots helps them.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's proven that teams that have joint practices
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: with the Patriots start hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because they've
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: been challenge at work, don't yeh, don't check it, just
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: go with it. Um Sunday at one, San fron at Chicago,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: almost Christian Arkee, San Francisco, buy six and a half.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: So we got Trey Lance with with Jimmy g breathing
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: down his throat. Is that is that correct? Breathing down
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: his neck? Oh, I don't know what. I don't know
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: if the hell's going on and saying right, that's the
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: saying people say that, right. Uh, just bears don't have
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: much justin fields. Um, you know, David Montgomery, Darnell Mooney.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: Not not a lot going on there. I think it's
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: a forty nine ers game. I'm gonna take them, and
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have them cover all six and a half.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: I think they win easy. I'm concerned. I want to
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: go forty nine ers, but then I think Trey Lance
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 1: is gonna go out and throw five picks. So but
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: I don't have to do it anyway, and just hope
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: for the best and hope that they put Jimmy G in.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: If he starts to get bad, oh that'd be bad
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 1: for a week one they put Jimmy G in. Oh yeah,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: I like San Francisco big in this game. I'm would
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: do Chicago's kind of in disarray. Yeah. Just six and
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: a half though, is a big number for me. So
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to San Francisco. But I'll take the hook. Paul, Okay,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: I'll take the hook. The Sharps know something. Uh. Sunday
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: at one, Pittsburgh at Cincinnati. Cincinnati by six and a half.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: It's a good one. The Bengals have won the past
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: three interestingly enough, um, but we'll get a good look
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh coming up on next week when the Patriots
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: playing with Mitch Drubrisky his first starting nice stuff yesterday,
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: Paul by you on miss Drubisky little uh insight into
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: his second season the starter? Personally, why well, why don't
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: you make a call? You've got connections, don't you know?
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Cincinnati. Um. I do think it's an
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: interesting game though. I I'm gonna take this. I'm gonna
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: take the points. I'll take Cincinnati a win, but I'm
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: gonna take the six and a half for Pittsburgh. I
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: think again, same kind of thing, divisional battle. Um, real
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: good defense in Pittsburgh that that should know them pretty well,
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: so I think it's a close one. But but I
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: got the Bengals winning. Yeah, considering I'm not a Mitch
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: Dubisky fan, definitely Bengals. Sorry, Pittsburgh, Um, but I think
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be close because the Pittsburgh's defense is good.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: But personally, Kenny Pickett should start the call. Should I
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: read those stats now or no? Wait, wait till next
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: week when I will take Cincinnati both ways. I think
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: they're just a better team. History has it that a
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: lot of Super Bowl runner ups have a hard time
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: the next year. That is correct, so unlike your joint
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: practice theory, that one is actually accurate. To be honest
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: with you, I have no idea if you're on the
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: ones I never thought. So I'm gonna go with Cinci,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: but I will take the points. I will take the points.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: Um Sunday at one Philadelphia at Detroit Detroit. I'm sorry,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia by three and a half. Three and a half.
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: A lot of Dan Campbell hype, I mean a lot
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: of Eagles hype. Though, especially even in the time of
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: this room, Teas has got on upstairs with a Super
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl pick. I'm not sure I really get all of
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: that craziness. But I do think the Eagles have some
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: really good, intriguing pieces on both sides of the ball.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 1: Love Jordan Davis that they drafted. So I'm gonna go.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Philly to win, and I'll say
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: they cover as well. Same. I mean, I think it
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: goes back to it I said earlier, like you can
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: be great and your culture can be great, but that
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't make you win games. Sorry. Yeah, I'm gonna take
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia to win, but I will take the hook and
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: I will take Detroit to lose by a field goal. Okay,
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna this is your slam dunk, steal lock upset
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: of the week. Detroit outright wins the game at home.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought about it. That's gonna make it great.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: This is why I have a field I thought about it.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: I thought about it, Freddie, I didn't. I didn't pull
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: the trigger. But I think there's a I agree with Mike.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of hype for Philly. For Philly, Yeah,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: and who was a Siriano? What's the san I mean
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: he was, you know, like, what's he doing with the
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: practice schedule and all that? But that team played well
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: last year, you know, so he might be a better
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: coach than people think. But I'm gonna go with Detroit early.
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: You know, they have a lot of and they'll fade
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: down the threat. They have a lot of That Sunday
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: at one was the guy who has a field for
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: the league at that right. Sunday at one, Indie at Houston,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: Indie by seven and a half, seven and a Hey, interesting,
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: I mean didn't we just get put on ir I
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: don't know. I only know is I like I like
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: the colt Um, but I'm not sure. I'm gonna take
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: the Colts. But I'm gonna also take the points for Houston.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: I think Houston is maybe a little bit underrated and
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: maybe a little more scrappy than people might think, So
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: I'll take the points there. M got a new candidate
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: for Eric spot is so painful. Nothing really happens if
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: you don't get it. Yeah, there are no ramifications whatsoever.
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 1: So it's very hard for you to do worse than
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: me too. I think I might do hers. I actually
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: just well, let's since this is your first time ever
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 1: doing this, if you want to take a pass and
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: wait until the end on this one, you can do
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: only get one pass. Yeah, you only get one. Just
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: go with Indie, Okay, I think that's a good go.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I think the Colts. Uh, you're the easy
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: pick here, but I will take the hook again. Houston
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: is able to maybe get an O by the way
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: touchdown with the backdoor cover. I'm gonna take Indie both ways.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: Um let's go to Sunday at one, Baltimore at the
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: New Jersey Jets. Thank you, Baltimore by seven and a half.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: Who and the Joe Flacco Bowl? Ye hope please um
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 1: lamar back. They got a lot of healthy guys back
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: in the Ravens. I think they get off to a
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: good start. I'm gonna take I'm gonna take the Ravens
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 1: to win and to cover with that big number. Same Yeah,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: me too. The Ravens get caught looking ahead to week three.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's an I roll. That's that's an embomination.
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: So the Jets cover Sunday at one, the Jaguars at
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: the Commodores like that. Some might not even know who's playing.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: H Washington Washington by two and a half. I mean,
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: this this game is like my my toilet Bowl of
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: the week. This is like if this was the only
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: game one I don't know why. I'll talk about Jacksonville
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: and Washington and Cleveland, Caron are both of those are bad?
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: This is nasty? Um, you know, I Washington always seems
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: to have a little bit of something. I'm gonna just
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with them and I'll lay the points. Yikes. Yeah,
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Washington. It's like Carson Wentz. I
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: guess I mean early we'll see. Yeah, yeah, I like
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: Washington both ways in this one. Um, you know, I
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: like Trevor Lawrence. I've stated it on this show many times.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: I think he is really talented. And hell there's another
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: one from the guy on ninety eight five today he's
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: no good. Oh he's no good, no good, no good,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: can't play. Um, I'm gonna go with Trevor Lawrence and
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Jacksonville wins this game. That's hilarious. Okay, uh,
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: but we'll see all right. Now, what happens is when
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: the Patriots have a game, but there's other games after it,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna skip over the Patriots because we do them last. Okay,
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: so when we do that, we all have to go, yeah,
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: do you shake your paper? We have to make over
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 1: something the Patriots, and we moved to four twenty five.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 1: The New Jersey Giants at Tennessee Tennessee by five and
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: a half. Tennessee Tennessee. Where is it? Five alms? Okay? Man,
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: I just I continue to wonder what what the Giants
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: are doing. I'm guessing this is going to be kind
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: of an interstitial year before they blow things up and
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: start over next year. Derrick Henry is back for the
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: tight Tens. I'm gonna take Tennessee and I will lay
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: the points. Felt really confident about the way I said
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: that too, So I think I'm back baby this year. Okay,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: I'm looking. Wait, so if I take the points, is
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: that the plus five and a half? Yep? Yeah, that
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: means Tennessee winning. Tennessee is gonna win by fewer than
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: six points. You take Tennessee and you take the points. Yeah,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. Okay, So Tennessee with the Giants
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: covering someday when you're like, you know, living in Vegas
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: working for like MGM Sports is like the game. Remember, remember, Guru,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 1: it all started right here. I didn't do it once
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: when we were in Vegas. I will take Tennessee both ways.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: What's the number again? Their favorite Tennessee is Yes, Tennessee
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: five and a half Brian Dables first game. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: that's true. That's a big factor. You know what can
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: he get out of Jones? Daniel Jones? U that's a
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: that's a tough one. Um, it's a big number. But
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: I'll go with Tennessee both ways. Four twenty five notices
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: No four or five games. They eliminated those, correct, did
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: they think? So? Okay? Four twenty five Kansas City at Arizona,
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: Kansas City by five and a half. Great matchup. Another
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: not one of the top few games this week with
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: Buffalo in the MS, I would say, uh, now is
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: uh is the receiver back for DeAndre Hopkins? Is he
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: back here? No? He's not back here? Suspended still for
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: a six? Right? I forgot about that. That's why it
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: was such a brilliant late round pick in my draft.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: Smart chess chess. Uh, I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: the chefs um and I'm gonna I'm gonna lay the points.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: I think even without Tyreek, I think they're gonna I
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna roll. Oh wow, yikes, Tokay, I'm gonna
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: go Arizona. Um. Okay, that's all you need to say.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: If you think Arizona is gonna win any Arizona yep,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: so you automatically get Arizona in the points, right because
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: they're underdogs. Arizona's pick more underdogs. This makes it easy, right,
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: makes it easy. Maybe the Chiefs are off the same
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: way they did last year. Yeah, And that's the one
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: thing that I'm concerned about is Arizona starts fast and
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: Kansas City last year anyway didn't. But I'm gonna take
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs both ways. I'm with Tamara. I'm taking Cardinals
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: both ways. But as Paul said, I don't have to
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 1: do that right because it's only one way. Tomara understood
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: how to do it. You don't, okay, fur twenty five
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: Raiders at that shot. This is the game, is a game,
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: It's a game. Yeah, Charges the lack. This is big
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: boy football by three and a half. Three and a
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 1: hay wait you said Chargers are Chargers favored by three
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: and a half, Chargers favorite at home? Justin Herbert big fan. Um,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: But I gotta admit I'm rooting for Josh and the
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: Raiders in all games but but one this year. So
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna vote with my with my heart,
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take the Raiders to this one. I'm
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: gonna say Raiders based off what we saw in joint
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: practices here, gonna be hard to see John practice of
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: the Charges. We might have walked away similarly impressed. But
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: Davante Adams though, who's on there that looks like that?
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. That's the neckler. I don't know.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 1: I got some pieces. Hey, that's my that's my first
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: round picks. I am going to take the lack. Oh crap,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: I put that on Fred's column. I'm gonna take the
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: lack to win, but Vegas already, but Vegas to cover.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: I'll have to adjust accordingly if um yeah, I'm torn
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: on this one. Uh So, it sounds like you can
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. You know, the Vegas did have
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: the you know, added benefit of practicing with us, so
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: they come off of that, you know, they've elevated their
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: game level and somebody in the AFC West has to
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: come in last. Somebody does, and I think it's gonna
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: be the Chargers. It's not gonna be dead man. Yeah,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: I think so. I'm gonna go with Vegas to win
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: this game. Okay, so I'm changing the lack to Vegas
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: on your Sunday four twenty five. Green Bay at Minnesota.
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: I can't get enough for those division games. Green Bay
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: gotta have something by one and a half. No, that's true,
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. I mean, obviously great player. I had had
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: to do that. I mean, you gotta love their their
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: weaponry though around him. Kind of an interesting you know,
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers losing some of his guys, having some
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: rookies come in, Christian Watson, guy we liked them to draft.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: At this point, it's it's still too hard to pick
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: against Green Bay. I'm gonna I'm gonna take them, and
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: I'll lay those points. Yep, I'm gonna go Aaron Rodgers
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: for sure. I will take Minnesota at home. In the
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: opener to big Kirk Cousins fan, well, I think at
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: home they're there. They always give Green Bay tough time
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota, something they can't win in Lambeau. But I'll
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: take them at home. Yeah, this is a toss up
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 1: for me. I'll just go with Green Bay and are
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: there points involved one and a half just to they'll
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: cover two bold a Sunday night. You're quite strong at
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: eight twenty Uh, Tampa Bay at Dallas, Tampa by two
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: and a half two two. Uh. You know, I just
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 1: I got I got kind of lukewarm feelings about Tampa
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: Bay this year. Um, I wonder if they're going to backslide. Finally,
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Dallas in this one. It's gonna fall
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: off a cliff. I think they win. I didn't say that. Um,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Tampa. But then I can I give
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: how do you so if if Dallas loses by two
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 1: or one, you would win if you have Tampa to
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: win the game. So if Dallas only loses by two
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: points or one point, you would win both. Okay, it's
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: a very small spread. So you want to take Dallas
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: with the points? Yeah, okay, I'll take Tampa both ways.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: I kind of agree with Douce though. I'm really not
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: sure what you're gonna get from the Bucks based on
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: that preseason. Right, I got a lot of talents. Still,
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: I'll be wrong believing that Brady will continue to play well. Yeah,
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: I'd rather do that than kick myself saying what am
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: I doing? Doubting Brady, Right, I'm gonna doubt him, and
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Dallas. Uh. They're another fast starter team,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: so absolutely. Although Dallas's home record is is unusually average,
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: it's not as they don't have the home field advantage
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: you would think they would at that mecca. It's pretty average.
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: But I'll go with Dallas. Monday Night on Embry sure, Uh,
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: Denver if a rare road game at Seattle. This is
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: the Monday night game. Yeah, so that's ESPN correct? Oh
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: is it? Oh? Yeah, the other one was correct Sunday Night.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure case people. Sometimes early
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: in the season there's two Monday night games, they don't
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: They don't do that this year it's only one. So yeah,
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: but don't be confused because this Joe Buck, Troy Aikman,
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 1: please assalters. You might think you're watching Fox, you're not.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 1: You might, but you're not. The Russell Wilson Bowl. Yeah
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: that's true. Um, I find it hard. Sorry, and hey, yeah,
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 1: I find it hard not to pick denver Um even
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: though I do think that they're the last place team
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: in the ANFC West this year. Um, but it's just
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: hard with what Seattle's got, so I'm gonna take Denver
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: both ways, same team wrestle and Siah Yeah, I um,
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: I think Seattle is going to be in for a
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 1: really long season. I'll take Denver both ways. I am too,
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Denver both ways. Um, now, Tamara, we
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: go back. I went this way with my hand when
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: we skip over. Now I'm gonna go back. But she's
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: just one o'clock to Miami hosting the Patriots. One o'clock game.
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Miami by three and a half. So now you get
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 1: three points for being at home, so it's really a half.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: Why you trend, You're confusing her even more when you're
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: the home team you get three points, She's gonna be
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: wrapped up. Um. Yeah, you know. I look, I it's
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: it's hard for me to pick the Patriots right here.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: I think if you look at the signs of the
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: of the offseason that you know, most people probably will
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: be correct and pick in Miami. But I'm not ready
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 1: to turn my back on them just yet. I'm gonna
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: pick the Patriots. Uh, in Week one, I think they're
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: gonna pull off, um a bit of an upset here
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: down in Miami, get off to a good start. I'm
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: gonna say Patriots twenty four to twenty. Sorry, it's one.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 1: We give a score for the Patriots game too. You
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: have to give a score, Um, Miami twenty one seventeen. Okay,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: stick to what I said. So that means Miami covers
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: as well Miami and covers for Tamara. How dare you? Yeah?
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: I see it, h you know the same way. I
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: think Miami, um looks like they're a little bit more
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: prepared at the start of the season. And we'll see
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: if the Patriots are playing a little ropea dope with
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: everybody U and they're they're gonna be ready to go.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: But I just don't know how you can flip the
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 1: switch with so many new parts and new pieces, changing
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: offenses and all of a sudden go from what we

• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: They've bonded, uh Spartan, you know, like no accoutrement. They
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: they had to just deal with what they had. They

  Speaker 1: Twenty eight nineteen Patriots win this game. You know, this
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: four game stretch is a good test. I don't think
