[00:04:00]

Let us be the last to wish you and your family a very merry Thanksgiving.

[00:04:06]

We start in Cincinnati, where the scoring started when it's Cam Taylor. Brittany ran back an interception for a touchdown, starting what would be a shootout in the AFC North. Russell Wilson opened up a can of whoop ass, hitting Calvin Stone Cold Steve Austin for a touchdown as well as visiting the Friarmouth Ferry for another score. As for the Bengals, a late plain white T. Higginson touchdown wasn't enough and they're singing hey there, Lombardi, what's it like in playoff city? I'm a thousand miles away but girl, you look so pretty. Yes you do as Cincinnati's playoff chances are officially dead. Dead. Steelers 44, Bengals 38.

[00:04:52]

We go over to Atlanta, where Plaid.

[00:04:54]

McConkey ran some complicated but interesting winter.

[00:04:57]

Patterns and Kirk Cousins had some wicked interceptions that were defying gravity, as he should have spent more time in his bye week engineering scores and less time singing along to them. The Chargers defense had Jim Harbaugh saying, tarheeb still rocking the khakis with a cuff in the crease, and I'm still.

[00:05:14]

On the sidelines rocking cleats. It's the Chargers 17, the Falcons 13, up to Minnesota Wake up, wake up. It's the first of the month as Johnny was able to score to furious Vikings comeback Jonathan Gannon. Elizabeth said Nadia to putting the ball in the end zone instead choosing for five field goals from Chad. This land is your land. This land is Ryland. And the game came down to Sam Darnold Palmer who is all man by the way, finding Karen Jones for the go ahead touchdown as Cardinals fans left with a disappointing YELP review. Hello 911. Yes, we lost the game that we should have won. We need a police officer here right now. Vikings 23, Cardinals 22 and we head to Foxborough where Henry Lockwood was on the scene.

[00:06:02]

Down to Foxborough where Anthony Shakari Richardson was smoking the Pats defense running the ball down the field all day long.

[00:06:11]

But we'll get to that later.

[00:06:13]

Jonathan the tool man Taylor caught a TD to give the Colts an early lead, but Draker Mayfield was feeling dangerous gunning it to Hunter Henry Biden but couldn't get him apart and into the end zone. He did connect with his dog Austin Booper in the third quarter though to give the pass a lead. This game came all the way down to the wire before Anthony Payton Prichardson at the buzzer bang punches in the two point conversion to give the Colts a 25 to 24 victory.

[00:06:44]

Thanks Hank. Way to work at Peyton Pritchard there.

[00:06:47]

I noticed that even when you lose.

[00:06:49]

You'Ll win Peyton Prichardson we now head to the happiest member of Pardon my take. It's memes in the in the swamp of the Meadowlands in New York where.

[00:07:00]

Geno Smith finally showed up to play the charity case that is the New York Jets. Ric Flair Kanay Kwang Woo shredded like the nature boy for 99 yards for a Jets touchdown. Jason Mike Myers said, I'll take three, my Lord to bring the Seahawks within two. And Leonard Williams finished old Aaron Yeller Rodgers off by shooting him in the head and sacking him dead. Seahawks 26, Jets 21.

[00:07:26]

We go to Jacksonville where Aziz Al.

[00:07:28]

Shaheer responsible, knocked Trevor Lawrence of the rings into concussion protocol, bringing on the return of the Mac as Jones was forced into the game. The Jaguars mounted a furious comeback with Brian Thomas the tank engine who looked at his owner and said, I think I can, I think I can.

[00:07:46]

But P.J.

[00:07:47]

Stroud tucked him Good night, sleep tight.

[00:07:49]

Don'T let the bed dugs bite as.

[00:07:52]

Peterson is still the coach of the.

[00:07:54]

Jaguars, I guess, huh huh huh. Doug Perseus doesn't. He ain't gonna dinkin fire yet somehow the Texans 23. The Jags jack off 20 in Carolina where Bryce Young, dumb and full of come doesn't know he's supposed to bust and is instead playing great ball. The second year quarterback was Steely Dan down the stretch as he found Adam Thielen in the ears as for a late touchdown to put the Panthers ahead. But it was too much time for Undertaker Mayfield as the Bucks playoff chances popped out of the coffin and reminded everyone you can't kill a dead man as Chase McLaughlin's sanity struck with two field goals late for the win. Bucks 26, Panthers 23 we head on now to Baltimore where Max is back. We head over to Baltimore where Justin.

[00:08:48]

Sucker continues to have a sucky year of sucking as he missed two field goals and an extra point hey Mr. DeGreen, Mr. DeGreen, I just want you to know that I think. I think that you're the best ever for laying the boom on Derek Henry Christopher. Nolan Smith Jr. Has gone nuclear. Has gone nuclear as he recorded another sack while officially becoming death. The destroyers of the Destroyer of Worlds.

[00:09:17]

Eagles 24, Ravens 19 thanks Max. We finished in our nation's capital where.

[00:09:23]

The Hennessey Titans looked like they were a little drunk and bottled up.

[00:09:26]

Brian's Swiss Family Robinson was very hard for the Titans D to read, but.

[00:09:31]

The film will be easier to understand. Meanwhile, Will Lettuce didn't wilt down, mostly because he was kept in a lot of airtight sacks. Jaden Manhattan Daniels made this a laugher for the ROM Commanders, disappearing behind his linemen like Skinny from the block, running up the score, leading some to accuse Dan Quinjamin Netanyahu of really overdoing it with a bunch of weapons provided to him by Washington.

[00:09:56]

The Commanders 42, the Titans 19. And that was week 13, brought to you by our friends at Chevy. There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore of pickup trucks and that's because for pardon my take, there's only one pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado. Why is that? Silverado is a partner. A partner you can depend on. We've all spent time driving and using the Silverado for all kinds of pardon my take, jobs, adventures and other shenanigans. And Silverado has been our ride for a cross country trip to the Super Bowl. Silverado helped us big the dig dig the biggest hole ever in the state of Ohio last year, Grit week, Silverado helped us give fullbacks the recognition they deserve with the Low Man Award. And this year Silverado was out west with our latest Grit week, Silverado brings the grit to legendary grit paired with modern truck tech inside and out. Massive screens, up to eight cameras with 14 different views to help make driving, towing in park working all easier. We love the bold blacked out look of the new Silverado HD trail boss. So head on over to Chevy.com build your own Silverado or Silverado HD and check out all the current offers on Silverado.

[00:10:56]

Discover a world of strength and capability all behind the wheel of our favorite truck, the Chevy silverado. Okay. Week 13 in the books. What a week of football. What a week of football.

[00:11:09]

It was crazy. We've had. We've had football since Thursday morning.

[00:11:13]

Yeah, well, including Max Obvious. Yeah, it was. It Thanksgiving week goes exactly the same every year where somewhere around like Saturday afternoon my body starts to like be like, you can't just do this every single day where all you do is eat leftovers and watch football from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep.

[00:11:32]

Well, what's awesome about, about Saturdays, you get second Saturday.

[00:11:35]

Yeah.

[00:11:35]

Because Friday is basically Saturday on Thanksgiving week.

[00:11:38]

Correct.

[00:11:38]

You wake up and you get to redo Saturday all over again.

[00:11:40]

Correct. So it feels like forever ago, but we are going to talk about the Thanksgiving Day games. This was actually the. I was very close to texting the boys on Thanksgiving being like, should we do an emergency pod? Because Lions 23, Bears 20. What a game that was. It was everything.

[00:11:58]

It was something.

[00:11:59]

It was literally every Bears game in one where it was a nationally televised game with the Bears looking as bad as possible in the first half, just being a joke of a team in front of the entire country. Then Caleb Williams playing phenomenal football in the second half, having them come all the way back and then losing in. They have invented new ways to lose. They have lost six in a row, I believe now the Hail Mary, two games where they quit, a block field goal against your rival, an overtime loss, and then the timeout game. Yeah, it's insane.

[00:12:32]

It's. It's actually I was thinking about this because it's a sick thing that the Bears do to you. I'm not talking about figuring out new ways to lose games. That's actually very mentally stimulating. It's creative and I applaud them for that. But what they do is they play so shitty and get their teeth kicked in the first half of games and then people tune out.

[00:12:50]

Right.

[00:12:50]

And then they don't see the Bears come back and then they look up when somebody tells them, hey, the Bears actually just made this a Football game. You should probably watch the end of it. And then you get to see the Bears lose at the very end. So they get all the dog shit from the Bears and a lot of people miss out on any of the good stuff that ever happens.

[00:13:06]

But this Thanksgiving, everyone stays watching and they watch the whole thing. And it was just an epic, like, failure of an ending.

[00:13:14]

But God bless the broken road that led us to Matt Eberfl being fired for the first time in a hundred years for the Chicago Bears. Yes, you've had the, you've had the necklace removed from your neck.

[00:13:24]

Yeah, it was, it was obvious that it had to happen because there's never been a worse coach in close games than Matt Eber Fluss. Like, I think that statistically actually is proven true. The timeout is. So obviously Caleb deserves some blame for it. But in hearing everything, it basically. And I talked to some guys, like I talked to our good friend Kyle Long and I was like, tell me straight, like, what, what happens here? He's like, look, it's probably 50, 50 Caleb Matt Eberflusse. But the second there's any hesitation, it's like 80, 20 Matt Eberflu's Caleb, where it's the second there's hesitation. The coach, his job is to hit a time out there and be like, whoa, shit's getting out of control. We got to hit a timeout and reset. And Matty Blues talking after the game basically didn't take any ownership and said, well, this is how we wanted to set it up. And went in explaining how he wanted to set it up. He literally explained that if you had called a timeout with 30 seconds left, you would have set up exactly what you wanted to do, which is get another 5, 10 yards, clock the ball.

[00:14:23]

If you don't get a first down, you can. With 30 seconds, you can rush everyone out. If you do, you clock the ball, you kick a field goal, try to go to overtime.

[00:14:30]

He also acted like it would be impossible to throw the ball to somebody and then get out of bounds. Yeah, he was, was like, well, we wanted to keep that time out because we wanted to have a timeout for a field goal unit. The operation to get on the field acting like it would be impossible to get out of bounds or throw an incomplete pass.

[00:14:44]

The whole thing was just a perfect encapsulation of Matty Berflus being one of the worst, like crunch time coaches possible. So I knew, I said it on Wednesday's show. I was like, this is. And I was actually like, I do My hit with Waddle and Sylvia every Wednesday. And I said to him, I was like, you know, this is the last day that we're gonna have to watch a Matt Eberflu's coach team. And they're like, no way, no way. I was like, no, I, I seriously, I didn't think it was gonna go down this way, but I thought he was going to get fired on Friday morning. And then to add just the perfect cherry on top, the Bears even fucked up his firing. Where I know how the Bears operate. What happened? Is this on Wednesday or Thursday? It's a Thanksgiving, it's a holiday. The Bears have that terrible, terrible loss. You could read the tea leaves in the locker room. Like Kevin Warren and Ryan Polls were sticking around in the locker room extra long, talking to players, all this stuff. Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren can't make a decision without George McCaskey.

[00:15:44]

George McCaskey probably was like, it's Thanksgiving. Don't call me. So they weren't able to talk to George McCaskey about firing Matt Eberflusse until Friday morning. Matt Eberflusse had his scheduled 9am press conference. They were doing the meeting, talking about firing him while he was doing the press conference. He gets out of the press conference like, oh, yeah, by the way, you're fired. That's just how dysfunctional this team and this organization is that they couldn't reach probably the owner on Thanksgiving to be like, hey, just so you know, we gotta fire this guy. He's a moron.

[00:16:12]

And in the press conference, Iberfluss was asked, I think three or four times, like, hey, are you fired yet?

[00:16:16]

Yeah.

[00:16:17]

Do you think you're going to be fired? That's all. They kept asking him over and over. He's like, well, we do our normal operation. He calls everything an operation, by the way. We do everything, you know, according to the standard procedure, which is we talk right after the game and then we're going to talk the next day. And yeah, as he's having that press conference, he's being fired.

[00:16:33]

Yep.

[00:16:33]

He doesn't know about it. Then he goes, he gets fired. Do you think in a weird way that this was like a job interview? Like the Bears were interviewing for Ben Johnson during the game?

[00:16:46]

During the game.

[00:16:46]

It's like, do we look enticing enough for you, Ben, to want to come coach us next season?

[00:16:51]

Here's the thing. I want Ben Johnson. I also, I want to say this because I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going to get optimistic about whoever the Bears hire, even though they'll probably end up with, like, the fourth option. I want Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel. The one thing with Ben Johnson, and I think he's a very good play caller. Do you get his offensive line, too? Because a lot of his play calls are good because he has an offensive line that is elite and they take a little bit longer to develop. And I think Ben Johnson would be good no matter what. But then again, the Bears organization will probably ruin anyone because at the end of the day, it's the McCaskeys and it's Virginia McCaskey who is very, very old, but she put her dumb son in charge who says that he's not a football guy. Who in the. I think he took over in like, 2011. They have been to the playoffs twice in those. In the 14 years, they've won zero playoff games. They fired five head coaches. They fired three GMs. They fired three offensive coordinators. They have been 93 and 130.

[00:17:52]

No matter what they do, George McCaskey and the McCaskey family still runs his team. And they are a joke and they are terrible owners. And I don't know. He does the worst thing where he doesn't want it. He says he doesn't want to medal, but then he also needs to probably be consulted to fire a head coach. It's like, dude, that's meddling. And he also puts Kevin Warren, who was supposed to build a stadium, in charge of now the head coach because Ryan Polls is safe. But Kevin Warren is. I don't know if you saw that rap Port was like, ryan Polls will be helping Kevin Warren in search of the new head coach. Kevin Warren hates football.

[00:18:23]

Yeah. If I do this. Listen, if you're not a football guy and you're in charge of a football team, you should probably try to find a different job. I'm sure he can find a different. I'm sure that there's a number of foundations around Chicago that would like a McCaskey to be in charge of them.

[00:18:36]

It's a joke, man.

[00:18:37]

You should become a football guy. Once you become the head of a.

[00:18:40]

Football, you would think the family business. The family business your grandfather started basically started the NFL, the family business. And you're like, yeah, I'm actually not a big football fan.

[00:18:50]

That's.

[00:18:50]

Well, no, he does say he's a big football fan. He just says he doesn't know football.

[00:18:54]

So you should learn football, though.

[00:18:55]

Yes. You had a lot of time.

[00:18:57]

You should learn to love football. If you're growing up and you're watching the 85 Bears, you should become obsessed with football.

[00:19:02]

You would.

[00:19:03]

Normal children would become. They. I question their parenting now.

[00:19:06]

Yeah.

[00:19:07]

For not getting their children and their grandchildren into football to the point where they become football guys.

[00:19:11]

But he's been. But he's been running the show for 14 years and it's been an absolute failure. And so I don't think anything is going to. I'm going to be again, I will be optimistic because I'm optimistic by nature. Whenever they announce the new head coach and I will say just because I have to be fair. Good job firing the head coach when it was clear he needed to be fired because you were going to like Brisker. I don't know if you guys saw but he hated Matty Brafus. He's just been sub tweeting him. Caleb Williams is good and I know that people will. There's a lot of people who box score watch or they've only seen him in prime time games. Caleb Williams is very, very good. He's on pace for 3,700 yards, 20 plus touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions. The only other rookies to do it, I would assume Jaden Daniel is going to do it, maybe Bo Nicks. But the only other two rookies to do those numbers are Justin Herbert and C.J. stroud. And he's been going and he's had. He's had. He's going to be on his third offensive coordinator in one season, in his second head coach because Thomas Brown is now interim.

[00:20:06]

So I would assume he's not going to be calling all the plays. It's insane how good Caleb Williams has been given how bad the coaching has been and what they've done in terms of coaching to stunt his growth.

[00:20:17]

Yeah. So looking at Thomas Brown, the interim head coach, I don't know much about the guy, but just off the measure.

[00:20:23]

Running back coach for the Badgers when they ran all over Will Compton. Sorry. Will Compton.

[00:20:26]

Right. So. So here's what I like about his measurements. He is 5, 8 and 203 pounds. Stout, stout man. He was at one point the strength and conditioning coach for the University of Georgia. I like these credentials as an interim head coach.

[00:20:41]

McVay Tree.

[00:20:42]

McVay Tree. And by the way, I want to stick up for you real quick. Big cat. A lot of people out there because I get tagged in. A lot of them are doing some very mean Photoshops and I would like to put a list of names that are. Please do not Photoshop this coach as head coach of the Bears. Okay, Ryan Day. Yeah, please stop with Ryan Day.

[00:21:00]

Photoshops Cliff Kingsbury.

[00:21:02]

Cliff Kingsbury, good offensive coordinator.

[00:21:04]

Please do not put him on Photoshop.

[00:21:06]

Good offense coordinator Ron Rivera.

[00:21:08]

Please do not put. Please like him. Nice guy.

[00:21:10]

Don't put him on Mike McCarthy.

[00:21:12]

Don't put him on Mike McCarthy saved his job.

[00:21:14]

Mike Malarkey. He's already been offered.

[00:21:16]

Mike Malarkey.

[00:21:17]

He's been offered the job according to Ian Rap.

[00:21:18]

Yeah, that's true.

[00:21:20]

Hugh Jackson.

[00:21:21]

Do not put.

[00:21:22]

Please stop.

[00:21:22]

Do not. Do not Photoshop these.

[00:21:24]

How do we feel about Rex Ryan?

[00:21:25]

Do not Photoshop those.

[00:21:27]

That's on the do not Photoshop list. Okay. That's all I had on my list. But it's most importantly, no Ryan Day. Yeah, stop doing that.

[00:21:34]

Either way. I mean, all in all, it was just a chaotic 24 hours on Thanksgiving. It was. It. It put me in a tailspin for the second half of Thanksgiving Day. Yeah.

[00:21:44]

What was.

[00:21:44]

What were.

[00:21:45]

Where were you watching and how did that. My house of Thanksgiving dinner. And the kids.

[00:21:50]

The kids were kind of all over during the game, so I had to remove myself and watch in my bedroom and then scream at the tv. And then. Yeah, I was. I was not. I wasn't a joy to be around. I would say I wasn't a joy to be around, but in a way.

[00:22:08]

It'S like, this is so bad that they have to do something.

[00:22:10]

Yeah, no, I was a joy to be around on Friday. Friday was until the Badgers lost, by the way. Fun fact. People are like, hey, you're so negative. Hey, why are you in such a bad mood now that the month of November is gone? I did not win a football game in the month of November between the Wisconsin Badgers and the Chicago Bears. I think I went 0 and 9. That's really hard to do.

[00:22:29]

It's a bad month.

[00:22:30]

That's really, really hard to do. And I lost in really bad ways, like left and right. Everything. Everything. Every way I lost, I basically picked. If you had to write, how can you lose a game? I checked every single box.

[00:22:42]

It's pretty incredible. Run. You went generation.

[00:22:44]

It's really, really bad. So, yeah, it was. It was a tough. It was tough, Hank. Thankfully, I had the Cowboys, so that. That. That bounced me back a little. But, yeah, Thanksgiving. Listen, Thanksgiving, people like, oh, it's so. It's fun. It's about family stuff. No, it's about trying to win bets and not have your team lose. And I just wish we wouldn't play on Thanksgiving. Because I knew. I knew it's gonna be bad. I didn't think it was gonna be that bad. I mean, you guys. You guys were watching.

[00:23:07]

It's a bad game.

[00:23:08]

When the timeout happened, were you just. I was just sitting there like, how is this happening? Yeah, we're just watching. It was watching a car crash, but it wasn't even watching a car crash because he was watching a car crash. But you could, like, stop time and be like, hey, dude, don't crash that car. Like, you have a timeout, they're not gonna throw.

[00:23:25]

But then. But then after not calling the time out, I was yelling at the tv, being like, what are they doing? What are they doing? And then it was like, surely they're not gonna drop back and throw a D pass.

[00:23:32]

Well, then, yeah, then Caleb had to panic. And, like, it was. Guys were coming back slow. Then Caleb screwed up. Then Maddie again. Maddie Berflusse. I do think Caleb fucked up, and that's a learning experience. He's a rookie. The head coach's job is to call a timeout and be like, hey, guys, let's stop. Let's fucking figure this out.

[00:23:48]

The look on Matt, it's literally his job, too. Like, right after that play was over and he knew that he fucked up, and he just did. No. No muscle on his face moved. He just stared off into the distance like, well, that's probably it for me.

[00:24:00]

Yeah.

[00:24:00]

He might as well have a blindfold and a cigarette in his mouth on that one. Yeah, it was.

[00:24:03]

Yeah.

[00:24:04]

I think everybody, including Lions fans, were probably yelling at the tv, what are you doing, Matt Eberflu.

[00:24:09]

Yeah, it was crazy. It was nuts. What? Max, are you going to say something?

[00:24:13]

I just laughed.

[00:24:14]

Yeah. I mean, it was funny for everyone else.

[00:24:16]

Classic of a classic Bears move.

[00:24:19]

In the history of Bears, they found every single way. They found every single way.

[00:24:23]

Eber Flutes is dumb face on the sideline as.

[00:24:29]

The dumbest coach face that I've ever seen.

[00:24:32]

That's where. That's where I was in my bedroom screaming at tv. I made a video just screaming at him. Look at this face. This idiot was.

[00:24:41]

There some coaches, though, that have, like, very satisfying dumb coach faces when they absolutely fuck things up. But I think that Matt Eberflu, that what we saw on Thanksgiving, so stupid. That was the stupidest face he's ever made.

[00:24:54]

And Caleb played well again in the second half. Like, he brought that. He looked really bad in the first half. The offense looked completely, like, lifeless. And then again, he drives them. I know. There's there's plays he meant like the DJ Moore. If he hits DJ Moore coming across with like, I don't know, 45 seconds left, he probably runs in for a touchdown. But again, I, I think Cale Williams, given what he has been stacked against in terms of the coaching, has been great, especially the last few games. So I'm very bullish about that. And he had to get rid of Matty Berfluss because you had to be like, we can't keep doing this.

[00:25:26]

Are you. So you do want Ben Johnson now that you have your concerns about the offensive line?

[00:25:31]

Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel would be my 1. 1A, 1B. The basically both 1A. Well, either one. I'd be very happy.

[00:25:38]

I feel like Mike Vrabel is the direction you guys are going to go.

[00:25:41]

Because he's not going to go to osu.

[00:25:43]

No. Remember, he hasn't watched. Well, you don't listen to the show.

[00:25:46]

Yeah. He said that to us.

[00:25:48]

He did.

[00:25:49]

Now that was. We were on a golf condom memes.

[00:25:51]

Good job. By means. He put out the clip right away on Saturday. We were on a golf trip. No, he doesn't want to recruit the Bears.

[00:25:57]

The Bears want. They've been like openly saying we want a leader of men, which tells me that they're looking at like a Mike Frable and less inclined for Ben Johnson. And then Ben Johnson linked. He leaked to Shifty over the weekend that he would be interested in the Bears.

[00:26:12]

Yeah.

[00:26:13]

If they come correct.

[00:26:14]

Well, I think. I think we've weirdly become as bad as the organization is and the. And the owners are. Caleb definitely makes it enticing because that's what anyone, any. Any prospective coach says. Is there a quarterback there?

[00:26:28]

Yeah.

[00:26:28]

And he's a court. He's. He's a good quarterback who looks promising and looks like he could be a real guy. So you would want like. I think we are weirdly appealing. Which as long as they don't figure out, like as long as they don't meet George McCaskey, I think it's an appealing job. And Mike Vrabel. I haven't decided if I'm going to do this yet, but if he took the Bears head coaching job, I think I would. I've only done this for one other person. I think it was Jim Harbaugh when I was trying to get him to be the Bears head coach last year. I think I would make a I will never criticize Mike Vrabel pact.

[00:27:00]

Yeah.

[00:27:01]

I will never say a bad thing about Mike Frable. If he takes a job.

[00:27:04]

What about, what about.

[00:27:05]

I haven't decided yet. I'm going to. I'm going to. I might actually try to sell that to him.

[00:27:09]

You know, being a big time Bears move. If they went out, they got Pat Fitzgerald. No, that'd be a big time Bears.

[00:27:15]

No. You know who's, who's getting leaked is Marcus Freeman.

[00:27:19]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[00:27:20]

Marcus Freeman was. Schrager text me that this morning. Then he was like, I'm going to go just say it on NFL Network. I'm like, thanks, dude.

[00:27:26]

What about, what about. What about a coach trade? I feel like the jets. If anybody does a coach trade, it'd probably be the Jets.

[00:27:33]

No, I'll tell you the no. The jets have their own. I mean, they don't have a coach. Yes.

[00:27:38]

I'm saying neither do we. You can trade for a coach is what I'm saying.

[00:27:41]

But they don't have.

[00:27:42]

We train for.

[00:27:42]

Yeah, we don't have one. You don't have one. We don't. We both don't have coaches.

[00:27:45]

No, I'm saying you can get. You can acquire a coach via trade.

[00:27:49]

Like another guy, another coach. Got it. Got it.

[00:27:52]

Not trading your coach.

[00:27:53]

No, I do not want to. I do not want to do that.

[00:27:55]

Using free agency to acquire. But the trade deadline to acquire a currently employed coach.

[00:28:00]

Yes. The jets would trade a first round pick for someone.

[00:28:03]

Oh, for McVeigh.

[00:28:04]

Yeah, they would. Memes. You're thinking about it, right?

[00:28:08]

Yeah.

[00:28:08]

And now you're thinking this might be a good idea? No.

[00:28:11]

Well, no, I was leaning. We don't have a gm, so I guess somebody could just send a first.

[00:28:15]

Round pick, like maybe the owner. Is that something that you think Woody Johnson might be interested in if he.

[00:28:20]

Just sent 10 first round picks for.

[00:28:22]

Yeah, 10 first round picks. By the way, we should talk about the Lions real quick. They are very banged up on defense. Well.

[00:28:28]

And they acquired Jamal Adams.

[00:28:31]

They did blitz boys back.

[00:28:32]

Man in the box. Allison chains.

[00:28:34]

It does feel like the Lions, I mean, this game on Thursday night against the packers is going to be massive. Massive. Because I'm. I'm of the belief at this point that if the Eagles get home field advantage, they're going to go to the Super Bowl. So if the Lions get home field advantage, they're going to go to the Super Bowl.

[00:28:50]

I mean, I think the Eagles are right there with Lions, right there with them. Right there, neck and neck.

[00:28:56]

We'll get to it.

[00:28:57]

Yeah, we'll get to it.

[00:28:58]

So, yeah, their defense is. They were missing a lot of guys, especially in the second half. They're very injured. Everyone's injured though. I still believe in the Lions this time of year.

[00:29:07]

Everyone's banged up.

[00:29:08]

Everyone's banged up. No excuses. I did love the one play that the Lions ran in the first half. The little trick play.

[00:29:12]

Yeah.

[00:29:13]

That they put the ball in Penne.

[00:29:14]

Sula's hands and he just started beasting people.

[00:29:16]

I don't even know if there was a, like a pass or a designed run. I think they just wanted to put the ball in his hands and let him just shove people around.

[00:29:24]

That was at the point of the game where it was as embarrassing as possible and Ben Johnson was like, it, these guys suck. Yeah, I just gotta do some cool.

[00:29:31]

I want to watch pencil shove people over.

[00:29:33]

Yeah, he was, he is scary. I going to tackle him is very, very scary. But yeah, it was a crazy, crazy Thanksgiving. I just chaotic. I basically spent like the next hour mumbling to myself like, why didn't you call time out? Why didn't you call a timeout? And I was not over it for a long time. And again, the worst part about this game is that I, after the packers game, I made a pledge to myself to not let this team hurt me for the rest of the year. Because apathy had started to, you know, like, take over. And it was like, look, we're not going to the playoffs. I'm just going to watch Caleb Williams on Sunday and be happy with that. I was actually mad about this game and I was mad and then I got mad at myself for getting mad at the game.

[00:30:16]

I mean, if you beat a really, really good team, a really, really good team, then that, that does huge, huge numbers for your ego.

[00:30:23]

Right.

[00:30:24]

And it's just, you have a shitty team. You can be like, we could just, if we play like that every week, then we would be that really good team.

[00:30:29]

Yeah. And it's, I mean, they. Caleb Williams is now just basically every game he goes on game winning drives that just aren't game winning drives because something terrible happens.

[00:30:39]

Yeah.

[00:30:39]

And it just happens over and over.

[00:30:41]

So you just, you want to cut those off at some point. You don't want them to start accumulating those losses.

[00:30:45]

I'm. I'm in.

[00:30:46]

And to start, like, you know, we've seen quarterbacks and we've seen head coaches that just accumulate sad losses and they just weigh on them. Just stay with them.

[00:30:54]

I'm in full groundhogs mode with, with like the team two years ago and last year where it's like, oh, I feel Good. Like they're making progress. But winning games would be nice every now and then. Yeah. Morale. You're in that Hank now.

[00:31:09]

Kind of.

[00:31:09]

Yeah. Where it's like, you don't want to now.

[00:31:11]

Hank doesn't even fuck.

[00:31:12]

No, he cared. He cared when the Patriots lost because it's your. You want your quarterback to play well one. And then you're like, eventually we got to win a game just so, like, everyone feels good.

[00:31:26]

More so for you because you've lost for so long. Like us. Us.

[00:31:29]

Okay. I shouldn't have sent.

[00:31:30]

My loss is a good draft pick.

[00:31:32]

I should have set myself up for that.

[00:31:33]

What'd you think about the Jameer Gibbs leaking the protections?

[00:31:37]

Yeah, that was crazy. Dan Campbell was very upset. If you saw the. So Jibbs did a tick tock in front of all of the verbiage that the offense uses for the Lions. And then after the game, a reporter told Dan Campbell and he was just like, what. What happened? He's like, I didn't see that. And then he just walked right off it. Like, that actually sucks for the. Like, they do. I was. I was reading. I can't remember who. Who tweeted about it, but someone's like this, obviously this is. Doesn't mean that everyone has their plays, but it means they have to learn new language this late in the season. That sucks.

[00:32:09]

Yeah, it's annoying.

[00:32:10]

Yeah.

[00:32:11]

All of his teammates are probably really pissed off at him for that.

[00:32:13]

You know what I would do is I would just not change anything and be like, there's. Everyone thinks we're going to change.

[00:32:17]

We've changed everything. Yeah.

[00:32:19]

Yeah. Everyone. Everyone assumes we're going to change. Yeah. Play it real quick. He was. You could just see in his face, he was just like, oh, God damn it. Something where you need to just remind a player to, you know, be smart about what they're posting on social media.

[00:32:36]

Is there anything.

[00:32:37]

You know, who's that?

[00:32:38]

I believe Gibbs posted a photo of.

[00:32:40]

Jefferson with a bunch of, you know.

[00:32:42]

Lingo on the whiteboard in the running.

[00:32:44]

Back room behind him.

[00:32:45]

Oh, I didn't know that. Did not know that. Okay. Yeah, I need to check on that then. Did not know that. Yeah, I'd rather our stuff not be out there. Thanks. He walked off mad of the. There was probably. That was probably the beginning of the press conference. Like, I gotta go right now. All right, enough about the Bears. Let's talk about the next game on third on Thanksgiving. Cowboys 27, Giants 20. You said you wanted. Let's recap what we ate instead of talking about this game, which I'm fine with. I do have a couple giants things I wanted to talk about. Yeah.

[00:33:19]

Yeah. I just figured a apt recap for this game would be to just talk instead about what we ate on Thanksgiving.

[00:33:24]

Yeah. Overshown's pick was awesome.

[00:33:26]

Overshadow. Overshown is a really, really good pack.

[00:33:28]

Enrico Dowdle's awesome Overshown.

[00:33:30]

Every time I watch the cowboys, no matter how bad things are going, he's always, you know, he's the definite. He flies around out there.

[00:33:35]

Yeah.

[00:33:36]

That's what he does.

[00:33:36]

Yeah.

[00:33:37]

And yeah, Mike McCarthy. Congratulations to him.

[00:33:40]

Yeah.

[00:33:40]

I think he might even get, like, an extension.

[00:33:42]

I do, too.

[00:33:43]

I think he might just stick around for a while as a coach.

[00:33:45]

Their defense looked great. I mean, it was drew Lock, but they look great.

[00:33:49]

Yeah.

[00:33:49]

But. Yeah. What did you guys eat? What was your favorite thing you ate?

[00:33:52]

Deep fried turkey.

[00:33:53]

I did steak this year.

[00:33:56]

Steak is. I like that. I like steak and turkey because turkey. Oh, you did both.

[00:33:59]

Well. Yeah. So we. I think you can't just go, I saw our guy Chuck calls it steaks. Steak giving. And I'm. I think steak is fine. You have to do a turkey just out of, like, you just have to do a turkey. But I did. I ate probably 80% steak.

[00:34:15]

20 if I switch to steak, I'm just going to do steak.

[00:34:18]

Right.

[00:34:18]

Because turkey is. It's the whole preparation for it. You have to brine it, you have to cook it, you roast it for a few hours, you deep fry it. It's a big thing with the setup. If you're going to switch to steak, I feel like you just make that call and you're like, we're doing steak this year instead of turkey.

[00:34:32]

Yeah, we did both, and it was awesome.

[00:34:34]

I might have changed the game for Thanksgiving this year.

[00:34:36]

Oh, yeah.

[00:34:37]

I invented something. Oh, Thanksgiving soup. Oh, Thanksgiving soup. It was so, so good. I took the leftover turkey, I made it, made a turkey stock. I boiled the fried turkey carcass, made a stock out of it. Then I added mashed potatoes. I added stuffing, Mac and cheese. I roasted the stuffing in the oven to use as the croutons. I cut up carrots. I put some green bean casserole in there because it's got cream mushroom soup as the base. God damn. I got so many leftover. I got some leftovers.

[00:35:11]

I can bring it tomorrow.

[00:35:12]

I actually, I was thinking about just bringing in the whole operation and deep frying a turkey for the barstool office.

[00:35:18]

Yeah.

[00:35:18]

Deep fried chili is the way to Go.

[00:35:20]

That sounded delicious. What'd you guys eat?

[00:35:22]

A lot of turkey. A lot of stuffing.

[00:35:24]

Yeah.

[00:35:25]

A lot of crab cakes.

[00:35:26]

Your crab cakes.

[00:35:27]

I like crab cake. Like little appetizer.

[00:35:29]

Oh, I did. I hammered.

[00:35:32]

I had like 20 of them.

[00:35:33]

Hammered cheese and crackers.

[00:35:35]

I just went turkey sandwich right out of the gate.

[00:35:37]

What?

[00:35:37]

Yep, right out of the gate.

[00:35:38]

Sandwich. Before you had.

[00:35:40]

For your dinner meal, you had leftovers before.

[00:35:45]

You're crazy for that.

[00:35:46]

You had pre leftovers.

[00:35:48]

You're crazy for that meal.

[00:35:49]

That is a change of the game.

[00:35:51]

Wow. I also. And this was directly related to the bears and the time out, I think I conservatively had about 15 cookies after like 4pm Yeah, I just went to. I went to cookie town.

[00:36:05]

For me, cookies are breakfast on Thanksgiving.

[00:36:07]

Yeah. I was. I was literally just walking. I would just walk past the kitchen and just eat two cookies. And I did that for seven hours straight.

[00:36:14]

You guys pumpkin pie people.

[00:36:16]

I'm not.

[00:36:16]

No.

[00:36:17]

I myself up with some pumpkin pie.

[00:36:19]

I don't like pumpkin pie. I'm not a big pumpkin guy.

[00:36:21]

Pumpkin.

[00:36:22]

Fred Smooth taught me that. Pumpkin we. Pumpkin. Pumpkin's not food. It's fucking hippopotamuses. He said like him.

[00:36:29]

Yeah. My. I had this girl that came up to one time. You know what she asked me?

[00:36:35]

You ever had pumpkin pie?

[00:36:37]

No. She asked me actually a different question. Oh, what'd she ask my. Tastes like pumpkin pie.

[00:36:42]

Yeah.

[00:36:43]

Out here. I didn't ever have no pumpkin pie.

[00:36:45]

Yeah. Bernie Mac.

[00:36:47]

Bernie Mac.

[00:36:48]

Yeah. It's the best memes. What'd you have?

[00:36:53]

Had some turkey, had some stuffing. I didn't stop eating for like 48 hours.

[00:36:56]

Have you heard Brandon do it?

[00:36:58]

Yeah.

[00:36:58]

Okay. Yeah, I was gonna say.

[00:36:59]

Yeah.

[00:37:00]

He's done it so many times.

[00:37:01]

Diet's back tomorrow.

[00:37:03]

Oh, no, no, no, no. Monday? No.

[00:37:06]

Why?

[00:37:07]

You can't diet between Thanksgiving and Christmas, my friend.

[00:37:10]

Yes, you can.

[00:37:11]

No, you can't. That's crazy.

[00:37:14]

It's a big month.

[00:37:15]

I think.

[00:37:15]

I think this Monday is a diet. It's diet.

[00:37:19]

You can't. This is a give up. This is a just drink. Eat whatever you want.

[00:37:25]

Yep.

[00:37:26]

Poop yourself every now and then.

[00:37:27]

I'm making a chicken chili tomorrow.

[00:37:29]

Oh, okay.

[00:37:30]

For diet?

[00:37:31]

Yeah.

[00:37:32]

Chicken chili's healthy.

[00:37:33]

Yeah.

[00:37:33]

You get a white chili.

[00:37:34]

Yeah.

[00:37:35]

What are you putting in it?

[00:37:36]

No butter.

[00:37:37]

Oh, okay.

[00:37:38]

No, this Monday is the diet day and then you go back to it on Tuesday.

[00:37:42]

Yeah.

[00:37:42]

You get a one day diet.

[00:37:43]

Yeah. All right. I want to talk about the giant weight memes. What'd you have?

[00:37:47]

Any good turkey Stuffing.

[00:37:50]

That's it.

[00:37:50]

That's it.

[00:37:51]

Did you guys. Do you guys do sausage in your stuffing? Because I do. It's.

[00:37:55]

Yes.

[00:37:55]

So my mom makes the best stuffing.

[00:37:57]

Really? How many people in America do you think say that?

[00:38:02]

How many people are in America?

[00:38:03]

Hundreds of millions.

[00:38:05]

Did you guys see the viral tweet that was so funny. It's like my. My grandma's in Shaq Celtics era of cooking. This, like, had like 50, 000 retweets. It was sad when it. When it goes, it goes. All right. Yeah. No, I want to talk about the Giants real quick because we always memes that I'd say, oh, the Bears and the. The jets are similar. The Bears and the Giants are the. Are the similarity because outside of the obviously two Super Bowls, which changed everything, the Giants are in the same situation where they have an idiot fail son running an organization into the ground. Last 10 years, they've been to the playoffs twice. They've won one playoff game. They've had, I think, three. Three winning seasons out of the last 14, they've won. They're 78 and 128. And I think reading the, like, seeing what Giants fans are saying, it's like the same frustration where it's. You switch out coaches, you switch out. John Mayer is the one who's calling the shots, and he's going to keep things up.

[00:39:07]

And every quarterback that they've had recently seems to play exactly the same, too. Yeah, they look identical when they're out there on the field.

[00:39:13]

Yeah. So I. I feel like I have one guy to fix the Giants. It's Bill Belichick.

[00:39:19]

I like that.

[00:39:21]

I mean, he's got. He loves history. He loves NFL history, where, you know, he started everything and not where he actually started. I think he started with the Lions, but where, you know, defensive coordinator for Lawrence Taylor and everything of founding organization, he goes in and he just runs the whole show. I feel like. I feel like that could happen.

[00:39:42]

I think their legacy, this most recent Mara legacy might be.

[00:39:47]

And he would probably like to get the. The record with a Giant.

[00:39:49]

Yeah. I was.

[00:39:50]

I was just gonna say I think that his legacy might be ending any semblance of anything interesting ever happening on Hard Knocks again. Yeah, that might be it. Because the Saquon thing.

[00:40:00]

Yeah.

[00:40:00]

No team is going to want to put out film of their GM something up so. So terribly that it'll just be a stain on the franchise forever. It's not going to get anything good from Hard Knocks.

[00:40:11]

No. And it's really a shocking clip. I Rewatch it every now and then.

[00:40:14]

Yeah.

[00:40:14]

I'm just like, holy shit. But it really said it.

[00:40:16]

They have had the Most hilarious, like 18 year run as a franchise.

[00:40:21]

Yeah. Because I mean, yeah, obviously you trade it all for the two Super Bowls.

[00:40:24]

Especially the Patriots and Tom Brady.

[00:40:26]

That's why. Where they deviate from the jets and the Bears. But in terms of the last decade, they have been horrendously, horrendously bad. And they just, they don't put together winning seasons. They have no continuity. They fire coaches, they fire GMs, and it's because they've got an idiot son running the whole organization. That's what happens. Find someone else. This is where, this is where the jets, like, as bad as Woody Johnson is, he actually goes for it. He's an idiot of a different kind. He. But he didn't inherit the team.

[00:40:58]

I think he's got some idiot family members too.

[00:41:00]

Yeah, he does. But he didn't inherit the team and be like, I'm just gonna be an idiot.

[00:41:05]

He's the idiot.

[00:41:07]

He is the idiot.

[00:41:07]

Woody Johnson's idiot.

[00:41:08]

He is the idiot. But he, he tries really hard. Whereas, like the mirrors and the McCaskeys in the last decade, again, I have to qualify because they obviously Giants won. They just are like, we own a NFL team. This is sick. We're just going to print money and, and do things the right way and hope it works.

[00:41:25]

I think the Giants and the Bears are similar in that they care. They both care very, very deeply about running a classy organization. And they. That's what, that's what winning is to them. We run a classy organization.

[00:41:37]

Virgin McCaskey didn't let swear words. We have on the hard knocks.

[00:41:40]

We have a lot of dark stained wood.

[00:41:42]

Right. Yeah. Every. Everything in our house smells like a football. Yeah. That's what they want. Ties.

[00:41:49]

We're all wearing ties all the time.

[00:41:51]

Yeah. Books of football lore in our, you know, 10,000 square foot studies. And we can't run a team, but we love football.

[00:42:01]

Yeah.

[00:42:02]

In the history of the game and the, in the meetings and all that stuff. They love that. Not the actual game. Okay. Yeah. The Cowboys. I do think Mike McCarthy has saved the show. I don't think the Giants are gonna win another game, by the way.

[00:42:13]

They might not.

[00:42:14]

Especially Dexter Lawrence, I think. Out for the season.

[00:42:16]

Yeah, I believe so. They might not. And I don't know if they're going to go back to Tommy DeVito. It doesn't really matter.

[00:42:22]

No.

[00:42:22]

I like Tracy, the running back. He's he's not bad.

[00:42:25]

Yeah. And they, they are now 11 games without an interception. So that's quite something.

[00:42:30]

Yep.

[00:42:30]

All right. Packers 30, dolphins 17. I mean, this was the most obvious game ever. Mike McDaniel was shivering on the sidelines.

[00:42:39]

He was all bundled up too.

[00:42:41]

He was shivering on the sidelines.

[00:42:42]

It was, it was a bad scene. And then Tua did not rewrite the narratives. That's tough. He still hasn't won a game under 40 degrees, I believe.

[00:42:49]

Yeah. And I mean, they made a valiant comeback late. That was like, hey, maybe if they score, they got stopped at the goal line. But the stat that there's two stats that are like. When everyone's like, hey, you can't just say candy ass uniforms. Dolphins can't win in the cold. I have two stats for you that show you you absolutely can. The first one is The Dolphins had 20 missed tackles to give up 132 extra yards. That's a. That's a cold weather station. That's a. I don't want to get my nose in. Into the pile. I don't want to tackle anyone. And the second stat is Mike McDaniel was literally shivering on the side.

[00:43:21]

He was so cold.

[00:43:22]

He was so cold.

[00:43:23]

He looked like the kid from the Christmas story. Bundled up. He couldn't like move his extremity. If he had to challenge a call. I don't think he'd be able to find the flag. Yeah, they. They didn't even wear their most candy ass uniforms either.

[00:43:34]

No.

[00:43:34]

Wore the old school dolphin with a helmet which is. That's. That's breaking all the glass in case of emergency for the golf. The Dolphins to look as tough as possible. They should make one of those where the Dolphins wearing a helmet with the guardian cap on. Yeah, that would rock too. But yeah, it doesn't look like. I mean they had to win this one if they wanted some hope. They did not.

[00:43:53]

Yeah.

[00:43:53]

Now they can play spoiler.

[00:43:55]

They can play spoiler. I think they still technically they need. They need the Broncos to start losing. The Colts and the Dolphins need the Broncos start losing to have a chance. But yeah, that. That was it. To get back to 500 and the Packers. I'm officially very, very nervous that this Thursday night football game against the Lions. The packers win this game. I'm already on. The packers look incredible because Jordan loved hasn't thrown an interception the last two weeks.

[00:44:21]

Josh Jacobs, they're running game.

[00:44:23]

I tried to tell myself that that was a waste of money and it is not because he is really good.

[00:44:27]

They have become what the 49ers were in the past.

[00:44:29]

Yeah.

[00:44:29]

Watching them run the football is. It's interesting. It's entertaining. I like doing it.

[00:44:34]

I'm worried. I'm officially worried about the Packers. By the way, here's a fun stat. The Lions, the Packers and The Vikings are 27 and three against all teams, not themselves. So they all have lost a single game against a non NFC north team. It's pretty crazy.

[00:44:52]

Yeah.

[00:44:52]

27 and 3. They're all really, really fucking good. Yeah.

[00:44:57]

I'm looking at the AFC picture right now.

[00:45:00]

It's going to be all three.

[00:45:01]

It's going to be tough.

[00:45:02]

Yeah, it's going to be all three.

[00:45:03]

Yeah. We could have. We actually very much could have. We're right there. Oh, we're right there. That's what they're fucking telling them.

[00:45:10]

It's going to be tough. They need the. They need the Colts and the Broncos to start losing.

[00:45:13]

Yeah, that's exactly what it is. And they need them to lose fast. But yeah, the packers are really good. That Thursday night football game, this Packers Lions game is going to be. That's, that is, that's because if the packers win this game, the. They could win the North.

[00:45:29]

Yeah. Oh, easily.

[00:45:30]

Like, that's, that's, it's not ruling it out. And because I think they still have a game against the Vikings left that if they, if they beat the Vikings, that would obviously put the Vikings with another loss. I mean, it's going to be crazy watching this. Like, if the packers win this game, they're looking at, hey, we could win the North. And if they lose this game, they're. They're basically like, all right, we're. We're a road team on, on wild card weekend. Yeah, they're. The packers are 9 and 3 and the Vikings are right there, 10 and 2 and 11. 1. This is, this is going to tell everything. This is going to tell everything. Max, you're the biggest packers fan on earth on Thursday night.

[00:46:04]

Yeah, I was a huge Bears fan this week last weekend, too.

[00:46:07]

I know. Sorry we let you down.

[00:46:09]

Yeah.

[00:46:09]

Who do the Lions have left? Do they have any hard games left besides obviously playing the Vikings and the. I guess. I mean, playing, Playing the Bears outside, who knows? Thomas Brown might, Might get the boys going.

[00:46:25]

So if the, if that were to happen, if the Lions were the Bills and the Niners and fall to the first wild card, what would that mean for the first round matchup? They would probably. They might go to Atlanta.

[00:46:38]

The Packers.

[00:46:39]

No, the Lions. If they, if the Lions fell. Fell back.

[00:46:43]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. If they. If the packers ended up winning the north or the Vikings won the north, yeah.

[00:46:48]

They could travel to Atlanta and just beat the fuck out of the Falcons.

[00:46:51]

It's just crazy because the Lions are. Have been so good, and they are so good. But because the Vikings and the packers are also so good, a division that they could have ran away with is still very much up for grabs, really. Depending on Thursday Night Football. If the Lions win the game on Thursday Night Football, it's almost a wrap because they do. They have already beaten the Vikings and they play the Vikings at home, so that. That kind of seals it. But if they lose that game, it's way up for grabs.

[00:47:19]

Yep.

[00:47:19]

It's crazy. All right. Yeah, the packers are really good. I'm scared. I'm very, very scared. All right, last game that we're going to talk about from Thursday and Friday, Chiefs and Raiders. Chiefs 19, Raiders 17. PFD. You should have put it as your pick.

[00:47:33]

I should have put it as my pick, but I didn't. I didn't give it out as my pick. I gave Moneyline. So it's true. It's a missed bet. I have to put my hand up and say, bad bet.

[00:47:41]

The Chiefs are. That was the most Chiefs game ever. They. They at the start of the game, look like they were going to kill the Raiders. The Raiders come back. Aiden O'Connell, shout out.

[00:47:51]

Not bad.

[00:47:52]

Ballsy. Max Crosby was doing his Max Crosby thing where he just. He. He has to piss off Patrick Mahomes more than any player on earth. Oh, yeah, because he was doing, like, little extra jabs here and there. Patrick Mahomes is complaining to the refs. And then we had the last play, which for all the conspiracy theorists out there, it was just red meat.

[00:48:10]

Well, I want to go back to the drive before that last drive.

[00:48:14]

Yeah, yeah.

[00:48:14]

So Antonio Pierce, he had the ball in plus territory. The Raiders down by 1.3 minutes left on the clock. Let me ask you a question, Paquette. If you give the ball, would you want to give the ball back to Patrick Mahomes when Patrick Mahomes had a lead?

[00:48:30]

I would not.

[00:48:31]

With three minutes left, I would not. All right, so Antonio Pierce did, and he says, punt team out there. And then somebody on the sidelines was like, hey, Antonio Pierce just reminded that's Patrick Mahomes on the opposite sideline. Might not want to do that. So he did. My favorite move in all sports, which is he called the think it over timeout to think it over. And his Decision coming out of that timeout was to send his kicker out there, who had missed two field goals of 55 and over yards, I believe.

[00:48:56]

Yep.

[00:48:57]

To try a 58 yard field goal.

[00:48:59]

Yep.

[00:49:00]

Shocker. Actually landed short of the upright. So then you give the ball back to Patrick Mahomes with three minutes left, and actually you get the ball back after that. But it was just an insane decision. I don't know what his decision tree was on that. I don't know what he was thinking.

[00:49:17]

He doesn't really think it ended up.

[00:49:19]

Working out for him. So I guess I'm the idiot. But they got the ball back, drive down the field, and then we get to the point where it's here come the refs.

[00:49:27]

Yeah. Because the final play where the Chiefs get a fumble, there is a ref that runs on the field that calls it a false start. Did he call it a false start?

[00:49:38]

So there's some discussion going on.

[00:49:40]

Yeah.

[00:49:41]

The Raiders are claiming that some people on the field heard a whistle.

[00:49:44]

Yeah.

[00:49:44]

I don't know if I heard a whistle or not, but it was an illegal shift that they ended up calling.

[00:49:49]

Okay.

[00:49:50]

After they got together to talk about it.

[00:49:51]

But the ref coming in from the sideline was. It looked like he was calling a false start. I believe so. And then he changed it to a legal shift, which then made it so that the place stood and the fumble counted.

[00:50:04]

Yes. So it. I guess it could have been thrown as a false start. And then after the fact, he was like, let's just make this illegal shift, because I'm not sure if it. If they were going sideways or forward. The bottom line is, yeah, the Chiefs, I get why they use the meme now.

[00:50:19]

Yeah.

[00:50:19]

This game flipped it for me. I get it. I get it, you guys. This game, you win. I can't. I'm done fighting against it. The Chiefs, your fans, your team, your whole city, whatever you're doing, I want a part of that. You guys are doing the right thing, because they are 11 and 1. They have the worst point differential of any 11. One team in history.

[00:50:39]

10 consecutive playoff bursts.

[00:50:40]

You know what second worst is?

[00:50:42]

Who?

[00:50:43]

It's the 1976 Raiders. They won the Super Bowl.

[00:50:46]

Yeah. I don't think the Chiefs are going to win the super bowl this year. And I say that with caution because it is still Patrick Mahomes. But their offensive line, and I know they got TJ Humphries, who's still working back from an acl. Their offensive line is bad. They moved. They moved. They shifted at the. In the middle of the game.

[00:51:08]

Their left tackle stinks.

[00:51:09]

They're like, we can't figure this out. I think they put Toonie at left tackle. Their offensive line is bad. Their secondary has not been good. It feels like they're just holding on, and if they go up against a team with a really good pass rush, it's going to be very hard for the Chiefs. Now it's still Patrick Mahomes. So I say this with a lot of caution because he'll probably just end up winning the game, and we'll be like, how the fuck did they do this? But it does feel a little bit different in that, like, it feels more 2019 chiefs who went to the Super Bowl. The COVID year or no. Was it 2024?

[00:51:44]

Covid. It was 2020 in Miami.

[00:51:47]

They won that. No, they won that super bowl.

[00:51:49]

Then they won, and then Covid hit.

[00:51:50]

Yeah. So it was a 2020 season where they played the Bucks and Patrick Mahomes got. Had no time in the super bowl, and the Bucks were all over them, and so they still might go to the Super Bowl.

[00:52:00]

So we don't. We don't want to say that Patrick Mahomes won't win a Super Bowl.

[00:52:03]

We don't.

[00:52:04]

We don't want to. We're fighting against it with every fiber of our being. The Chiefs are making us believe that you guys are doing it to yourselves.

[00:52:11]

I think Chiefs fans, though, know that this feels a little different than last year where it was like, o. They're kind of fucking around, but they still have the fundamentals here of, like, a team that can win a Super bowl, and they obviously still can. But this one feels like. I don't. I mean, Patrick Mahomes went 113 games without a five sack game. He's now been sacked five times by the Panthers last week and then the Raiders five times this week.

[00:52:35]

Yeah.

[00:52:36]

So two in a row. And they could get, you know, like I said, they made a signing, they could get healthier. But as it stands right now, I don't feel super optimistic. And they also are going to be in a fight with. For the one seed.

[00:52:50]

Yeah. Did you hear Al Michaels kind of shitting on streaming, what he said during the game? I think they missed a punt.

[00:52:54]

We missed a whole punt.

[00:52:55]

We missed a punt. We missed a play that'll. That'll be lost to. To history. Nobody saw it happen. Who knows what happened and what they were the crisis actors at the game were told to say afterwards, But Al Michaels was like, yeah, they wouldn't do that on linear but they'll do that to us on streaming. And then he just kind of proceeded to take a shit on Amazon. I love Al Michaels in his. I don't give a. Yes, it's pretty good.

[00:53:18]

Yes.

[00:53:18]

He does not care. He'll just say whatever.

[00:53:21]

I also on a Black Friday game.

[00:53:22]

I don't even know, does Al Michaels like what does he eat on Thanksgiving? Does he.

[00:53:26]

Steak.

[00:53:26]

Just steak?

[00:53:27]

Yes, steak. Steak for sure. I wanted to say, I. I saw this funny tweet I wanted to shout out from stats guy Daniel. He said, steelers Chiefs on Christmas Day is just going to be 57 minutes of both teams doing everything possible to keep it a one score game before Mike Tomlin and Patrick Mahomes reveal who negotiated the better deal with the devil to win in the most unthinkable way possible. Nailed it. Nailed it. That's what they do, the Raiders. Why, by the way, did we get a Shador Sanders tweet?

[00:53:53]

Oh, we did.

[00:53:53]

Oh, he was. He was playing in a game.

[00:53:55]

Yeah, we did not.

[00:53:56]

He was playing in the game when.

[00:53:57]

It happened, so I don't. Let's see. Did he do it on Thanksgiving after the Giants lost?

[00:54:02]

I don't know.

[00:54:03]

I did not check up on that. I know that I did check on it for. For Friday.

[00:54:07]

How did his game go on Friday?

[00:54:09]

He played pretty well. He had three touchdown passes to this really outstanding receiver. What's his name, number 12, whatever that is.

[00:54:20]

Can someone look up number 12 for us?

[00:54:22]

Shador Sanders has tweeted. Thank you, God. An hour ago.

[00:54:25]

Oh, so it's the Sunday thing.

[00:54:26]

He did it an hour ago.

[00:54:27]

Sunday.

[00:54:28]

Travis Hunter is the name.

[00:54:29]

Travis Hunter.

[00:54:29]

I thought he played cornerback.

[00:54:31]

He does. Yeah. Look at it again.

[00:54:33]

And he scored three touchdown passes.

[00:54:35]

Did he have an interception too?

[00:54:36]

What?

[00:54:37]

Wow.

[00:54:38]

Damn. We gotta look up this guy. We should probably do some research for him.

[00:54:42]

Oh, is that the guy that did the Heisman pose twice? Oh, I was. What is the Heisman pose?

[00:54:47]

I could say if you like, if you're good enough to win the Heisman, you do it. I don't know. I. Well, we'll. You know what, to the awls. We're gonna look up this Travis Hunter guy. We'll give you a report on Wednesday.

[00:54:58]

Yeah, I just thought it was an interesting post. I was like, that's. If that's a trophy, that's must be a pretty prestigious trophy because that's cool.

[00:55:05]

Yeah, I don't. The Chiefs just. That was the most Chiefs way for them to win the game. Just so classically. Chiefs money line Yeah, I saw it.

[00:55:14]

Yeah.

[00:55:15]

Look at Eggs face. You knew he had Raiders money line.

[00:55:17]

Oh, I did, too.

[00:55:18]

Oh, I'm sorry, Hank. That was tough, but it was so Chiefs. It's the Patriots deal with the devil where you guys win games like this.

[00:55:28]

There's been like 20 of them this year.

[00:55:30]

This year feels crazy. Also.

[00:55:31]

We're like. I feel like going against the refs. The Chiefs have the ref in their pocket.

[00:55:37]

I can't. I don't know specifically.

[00:55:39]

You had the tuck rule.

[00:55:42]

I did. See, one person was like, the Patriots never had this deal with the devil. And then someone just quoted it with the miles Jack play. Yeah, that one. Or D. Ford offsides.

[00:55:52]

Yeah, he was off.

[00:55:54]

But okay, so Jack one. I do. I do say the deal with the devil and like, you know, it's crazy. They keep getting away with it, but the actual reality of it is the Chiefs make winning plays in winning time. And like, that's. They're a team that will never get blown out, and they will always be in that spot where if you make a mistake, they'll capitalize on. So it's like. It's a combo of, yes, it looks like luck, but I also think it's just. They're really fucking good, and if you fuck up at all, they'll just jump on you and win the game.

[00:56:27]

Yeah, but you know, I'm saying they. They are almost daring us to doubt them. Yeah, you're doing. You're doing all that you can. I don't want to do it.

[00:56:33]

The only way that they. Yeah, they can get, like, amped up is to have all the doubters.

[00:56:37]

I don't want to do it, but you're. You're making me starting to think about doing it.

[00:56:41]

I'm starting to.

[00:56:41]

I don't want to.

[00:56:43]

By the way, Max Crosby. 387 consecutive snapshots, which I think that's the most since 2016. He just does it every. Every year. He just rips off another consecutive snaps record. Yeah, it's nuts. It's nuts. All right, should we take a break and we'll go to. Oh, yeah, Raiders fans. Brock Bowers is awesome.

[00:57:01]

True.

[00:57:02]

He's so fucking good. That's cool that you have him.

[00:57:05]

And AOC didn't look bad either.

[00:57:07]

No, he didn't look bad. Wonder. I don't know if they'll win another game, but.

[00:57:11]

Looks like you.

[00:57:13]

He does look a little bit like me.

[00:57:14]

I was going to say he looks a little bit like Derek Carr with the mascara, but he's got that vibe that mustache.

[00:57:20]

A little bit of maybe. Could lose a couple. Just if we're being factual, could lose a couple. All right, let's get to our Sunday games. Before we do that. Pft. You got a couple ads?

[00:59:51]

Okay, let's get to some Sunday games. We have Steelers 44, Bengals 38. I think the Bengals officially are done.

[01:00:01]

They got to take the ping pong table out now.

[01:00:03]

They got to take the ping pong table out. Mike Tomlin is now secured above.500 for his 18th consecutive season. So he's not had a losing record. There's probably. There was maybe a 500 record in there. 18 straight seasons. He has not been under 500 as an NFL coach. That is insane. And I'll say this, the Steelers, I was impressed with them because I was. I was searching around for. For the f wor for the Steelers. I did not think they could win in a shootout. That's exactly what they did. Russell Wilson was awesome, throwing for over 400 yards. Their defense made a couple huge plays. Big turnovers. Yeah. The Steelers, that was big. That was a big win.

[01:00:47]

Yeah, huge. Russell Wilson looked awesome. Najee Harris looks light.

[01:00:50]

He's.

[01:00:51]

He's week to week with how he looks around the football.

[01:00:53]

Yeah, that was a big part of the game is they got him going. They got him the screen game and running.

[01:00:57]

Yeah. So do you remember early in the game when he pulled up a little bit and everybody thought his hamstring was fucked up?

[01:01:02]

Yep.

[01:01:02]

All right. So they asked him about that and he said Thanksgiving. He said Pat Friarmuth's girlfriend Jill made some fire ass banana something and I guess he overindulged a little bit. Did Najah Harris shit himself in the first quarter? I think that's what that means, right?

[01:01:19]

I think you're right.

[01:01:20]

I think Najah Harris pooped himself when he ran. That's why he pulled up like his hamstring was hurt when he grabbed at the back of his leg. He's grabbing his butthole.

[01:01:27]

Yeah.

[01:01:27]

Because he's pooping on himself. But he looked awesome today.

[01:01:30]

Yeah, he looked really good.

[01:01:31]

Now it was against the Bengals defense and the Bengals defense might have gotten worse out of the buy. Yeah, that was possible. So The Bengals are 2 and 4 when they score score over 30 points. The rest of the league is 75 and 3.

[01:01:43]

Yeah. No. Yeah.

[01:01:44]

When it comes to 33 points, the Bengals have four losses. Every other team in the league has one loss. So this might be the end of the Bengals dynasty.

[01:01:53]

The Bengals defense has given up 34 or more points six times this year. That's insane.

[01:02:00]

Yeah.

[01:02:01]

Six times.

[01:02:02]

We should say they have a 3% chance at making the playoffs. 3% there. And they've converted from being a. We have to run the table in terms of wins. Now they're saying every drive is a must score drive. Mark Chase was like, we. I think we could. We need to score on every single drive from now on because our defense can't stop anybody if they score a touchdown on every drive. I think they would make the playoffs at this point.

[01:02:25]

I don't think they would.

[01:02:25]

They would. You don't think so?

[01:02:27]

No, because all the other teams have to lose. No, they need to score on every drive, but also the other team. Teams have to not score on every drive.

[01:02:32]

Yeah, they don't.

[01:02:34]

They don't control their own destiny. Like, they can't say, hey, if we score on every drive, we're good. Yeah. They got to be like, hey, we got to score on every drive. And also, the Colts have to never score again. The Dolphins have to never score again. The Broncos have to never score again.

[01:02:47]

It's pretty bad.

[01:02:48]

It's. Everyone. They. They. They got no chance. It's. It's over. And this is. This has to be one of the most frustrating seasons for a fan base, because if I told you in August that we would be sitting here on the. On the week of Thanksgiving and Joe Burrow would have 30 touchdowns, five interceptions, and 3, 300 yards in 12 games with a 68% completion percentage. You'd be like, the Bengals are vying for the one.

[01:03:18]

And how many interceptions is that?

[01:03:19]

Five.

[01:03:20]

Five. And at least two or three of those are on badly deflected passes off the hands of his own receivers.

[01:03:25]

Now, he does have fumbles, too. He had. He had two fumbles in this game. That was bad. But still, Joe Burrow has played statistically his best season, and you've completely wasted it because your defense fell off a cliff and your owner is a cheap ass.

[01:03:39]

Are we in a zone where it might be so bad, their defense might be so bad that maybe Joe Burrow MVP is back on a little bit?

[01:03:47]

I mean, I. I put a little on him offensive player of the Year, because I made the bet thinking Saquon might win mvp, and then they'll give offensive player of the Year to the best quarterback.

[01:03:58]

Yeah.

[01:03:58]

And he's been the best quarterback. His team stinks.

[01:04:00]

And if a running back wins mvp, then they wouldn't necessarily have to give offensive career of the year to just the best quarterback on the best team.

[01:04:08]

I think I got it like 90 to 1 or something. No, that can't be right. Yeah. But either way, Joe Burrow has been awesome and you've completely wasted a year of Joe Burrow's prime. And like, that's. That would kill me as a fan.

[01:04:21]

And T. Higgins last year.

[01:04:23]

Yeah.

[01:04:23]

Yoshi looks pretty good though.

[01:04:25]

Yeah. But still, like 90 to 1.

[01:04:27]

Couple years ago, you thought that this team was set up. Your windows. Open that window. Sorry. Yeah, sorry about your window.

[01:04:34]

Yeah, that was bad. That was bad. So, yeah, the Bengals are dead. I'm done. I'm done thinking about them. I'm done. I mean, they're still fun watch because they play in shootouts. But like, this game was not an AFC north game at all with the way the first half went. And again, I think the Steelers like winning in this style. I did not think they had it into him. Maybe George Pickens was right. It was the snow that made them bad against the Browns. And George Pickens, by the way back, he did it all.

[01:05:02]

He did it all.

[01:05:03]

He got.

[01:05:03]

He got flagged for unsportsmanlike, for simulating a gun. But he claims, and we can watch the tape, he claims he was signaling first down after he got a first down.

[01:05:13]

Got it.

[01:05:13]

Now, he did pull a trigger at the end of the first down, which.

[01:05:17]

You have to do.

[01:05:17]

Which you have to do. I mean, who's to say that that was a gun? You just pulled the trigger on the first down.

[01:05:22]

He scored a touchdown, had a bunch of really good plays, got shot a fake gun, threw a ball in a player's in opponent's face, and then punted a ball into the. After scoring his touchdown.

[01:05:33]

It was great.

[01:05:33]

He did it all. He did it all.

[01:05:35]

It was great. I love that guy.

[01:05:36]

And Tomlin said after, he's like, George has to grow up. No, I don't.

[01:05:40]

No, no. Just let George be George. They did have a moment where Tomlin like got into his face on the sidelines a little bit. I don't know what Tomlin could be saying to George Pickens that he hasn't already said probably like, like 40 to 50 times already. But yeah, Tomlin. Tomlin likes having a little bit of chaos on his team. So you can tell he gets off on it.

[01:05:57]

Tomlin, I. Has quickly become one of my Favorite coaches because he just feels like even the videos after in the locker room where he's dancing with like Najee Harris, he's the best guy ever. And you get why he can handle like having an Antonio Brown or a, you know, George Pickens or Ben Rothsberger on your. On his team because he's just stable and he's like, he's just down with, down with the dudes. And he's like, like I'll be here for you no matter what. Like George Pickens on any other team I feel like is not as good and maybe like fails and. And has happen. That's bad. But on the Steelers he's still crazy. But Tomlin knows how to harness the crazy.

[01:06:38]

So what's the difference between the Bears, the Giants and the Steelers? Because the Steelers have that like old school family.

[01:06:46]

Yeah. Yeah.

[01:06:47]

We're a classy organization thing. But they're just.

[01:06:49]

Rooney's are smart.

[01:06:50]

They're really good.

[01:06:51]

Yeah. And they get coaches and they don't and they keep them. And also they've had quarterbacks.

[01:06:55]

Well, they get good coaches at Ben.

[01:06:56]

Roethlisberger because he was a big thing. Yeah.

[01:06:58]

You could also say like okay, it probably wouldn't be the best thing for the Bears to keep a lot of the coaches.

[01:07:03]

Correct. Correct. But Ben Rothsberger would probably be the big one. And then obviously their defense, I feel like maybe it's also the jerseys.

[01:07:10]

The jerk.

[01:07:10]

The towels when they put on the jerseys. Their defense is just good.

[01:07:13]

The towels too.

[01:07:14]

Like you if you did a video game, you put on the Steelers, you know, jersey and it's just plus five points to defense.

[01:07:22]

What do you think the score of the game would have been on on the Thanksgiving night game if the packers and the Dolphins had just changed jerseys?

[01:07:29]

It would have been a 1 score. It would have been a. I think they'll.

[01:07:33]

Packers still win.

[01:07:34]

Packers win by three.

[01:07:36]

No, I think the packers might lose, actually.

[01:07:38]

They might lose.

[01:07:38]

Imagine Jordan Love in a Dolphin search.

[01:07:40]

And you maybe gave a coat to Mike McDaniel.

[01:07:43]

Yeah, yeah.

[01:07:44]

Yeah. Russ though. I was very wrong about Russ.

[01:07:48]

414 yards, three touchdowns.

[01:07:50]

His third, his third 400 yard game in his career. I would never have guessed that he had a 400 yard game still left in him. Yeah, but he does.

[01:07:58]

They're winning shootouts.

[01:07:59]

The winning shootouts. That's what I said. Like the, the, the Steelers winning this game. The style. They won this game. I'm like, all right, I was wrong. Like Steelers are not frauds. And I, they still have a Tough schedule down the stretch, but yeah, with their defense gets a little healthy. They just got dudes everywhere and, and even though their defense got lit up a little bit, I mean the Bengals would do that to anyone. They still made the big plays when they had to.

[01:08:23]

We're going to get some good quotes from Jamar Chase as the season concludes. Yeah, I feel like he's. He does not give a fuck. He's just going to say whatever's on his mind.

[01:08:30]

I feel bad for Joe Burrow. It's not, I mean, just, you just wasted. You can't waste these seasons when you have a quarterback like Joe Burrow.

[01:08:37]

Yep.

[01:08:38]

You can't. Okay, next game. Charger 17, Falcons 13. This is one of those games where the Chargers were lucky to win because their offense couldn't do anything. And the Falcons, you've got a problem. And he's a friend of the show. But Kirk Cousins has been bad the last three weeks and he threw four interceptions today.

[01:08:59]

Some really, really bad picks too. The one in the end zone, the pick six was bad too. You're. I mean, it was as about as bad as a four pick day can be. My theory is that it's like James Harden when he would play in cities that had really good strip clubs. Yeah, he would always play poorly. Kirk Cousins does the same when very popular iconic musicals come out in theaters. And so he's been up all night singing along and not focus on his playbook. Yeah, I don't know if there's anything to that, but he looked bad today.

[01:09:26]

He looked bad. The pick six was really bad. And then the end zone interception was really, really bad. And it was. The really, the hard part for the Falcons is the Falcons defense has not shown up in like a lot of games. They did today. They. So the Falcons defense has had five sacks total in the last six games. They had five today. They were. They didn't let the Chargers do anything. The Chargers had 187 total yards. The Falcons had 24 first downs to the Chargers 10. And they should have like the Falcons kept on going into the red zone, not getting anything out of it, missing field goals, interceptions. That's a game that you're going to look and be like, how did we lose that game? Because they should have won that game. The Chargers offense couldn't do anything. And you sacked Justin Herbert five times and man, you. Kirk Cousins, that was, that was a tough one.

[01:10:22]

It was a very tough one. So they've got the Vikings, but then they've got some winnable games after that.

[01:10:27]

Too.

[01:10:27]

For the Falcons.

[01:10:27]

Yeah.

[01:10:28]

So, Hank, thank you for sending the reminder to remind us to bet against the Falcons in the playoffs. I feel very, very confident about that crystal ball pick. Yeah, I think it's going to work out. They just don't look like a good team.

[01:10:40]

No, no. They've lost three in a row now. Basically, they just need to play the box for their offense to look good.

[01:10:47]

Yep.

[01:10:48]

Hank, sorry about your Chargers. To not make the playoffs, to not make that bet. Because it looks like they're going to make the playoffs. Yeah. They're eight and four, so.

[01:10:57]

So are the commanders.

[01:10:58]

Yeah, we'll get to that.

[01:10:59]

Agreed.

[01:10:59]

We'll get to that. Yeah. Like, I feel like if you're a Charger, if you're the Chargers and your Chargers fan, you. You go, go off a short week against, you know, an emotional game on Monday night against the Ravens. However you win, don't apologize for the win. But they. Their offensive line looks like it needs some help and J.K. dobbins being out hurts them a lot because they do want to run the ball and they haven't been able to.

[01:11:23]

Yeah. Their offense was not good at all today. I think most Chargers fans would say that was like a painful. Thank God we won this.

[01:11:29]

Right, Exactly. And just walk away and be like, thank God we won in the Falcons. You wasted a really good defensive effort. Yeah. Kirk, do they. Do they make the switch?

[01:11:40]

People are asking. People are asking, is it time for Penix? And then what do you do with Kirk Cousins?

[01:11:46]

He's got zero touchdowns and six interceptions the last six games. Sorry, three games.

[01:11:51]

Salary fully guaranteed for at least next year. Right. I mean, there's. There's one team I could think of that would be a perfect fit for Kirk Cousins.

[01:11:59]

Who's that?

[01:12:00]

The man is shaking his head.

[01:12:01]

Oh, no.

[01:12:02]

Right now. I mean, think about it. Picture it.

[01:12:03]

Yeah, I could.

[01:12:04]

I could see Cousins.

[01:12:06]

I could see it.

[01:12:07]

Kirk Cousins to the Jets.

[01:12:10]

Yeah. Yeah, I could see it.

[01:12:12]

No.

[01:12:13]

Why not?

[01:12:14]

We already got one guy with a torn Achilles.

[01:12:16]

Yeah.

[01:12:16]

True system.

[01:12:18]

I would. Oh, yeah. I would take a shot on Kirk.

[01:12:23]

Shout out. Tarheeb. Still, still, by the way, because he had two picks. He had the pick six. He had another pick. And then he also broke up that pass on the last drive to Drake London that kind of sealed the game. So. He was awesome. But yeah, Chargers, good job. High fives everywhere. Everywhere around. You want a tough game and now you're looking like you're going to be in the playoffs. Yeah. Okay. Vikings 23, Cardinals 22. This is another one where don't apologize for wins. Because the Vikings looked bad for three quarters. They had 100 yards of offense late in the third quarter. And then Sam Darnold happened and he was awesome down the stretch, led them on two, two touchdown drives. They were down 196 with 4:43 left in the third quarter. He was 12 for 17, 156 yards and two touchdowns for the rest of the game. So he won them that game.

[01:13:16]

This is what I love about Kevin O'Connell is he gets quarterbacks that have in their past looked like they, they're timid, they're slow to process, they don't trust themselves, they're not confident. And when they play for him, they just look like everything's fast.

[01:13:30]

Yeah.

[01:13:30]

Like they know exactly what to do. And it could be a backup quarterback like Dobbs, it could be Darnold, it could be anybody, it could be Kirk Cousins. But they look like just a way more confident version themselves all the time. And he must be an awesome guy, which is why probably Daniel Jones.

[01:13:43]

Yeah.

[01:13:43]

Wants to go out there and just be like, hey, just tell me I'm pretty.

[01:13:46]

Yeah.

[01:13:46]

Make me feel good about myself for a little bit because I'm, I'm gun shy about everything else. I do think that there is. There was an insane coaching decision in this. Yeah, yeah. Where, where Gannon kicked that field goal, I think from the four yard line.

[01:14:01]

Yeah.

[01:14:02]

He was up three. Right. And he's up three with four yard line.

[01:14:07]

From the four yard line.

[01:14:08]

Kicked a field goal to make it six points. I feel like every time that happens, the other team wins.

[01:14:13]

Six points is the worst lead in football.

[01:14:15]

I agree.

[01:14:15]

Because you do you basically like, if you're up three, you, you, you're going to call offense a little differently and you're not going to, you know, you're going to play for the field goal. Be a little more conservative. If you're up 6, you're basically saying to the other team you have to go score a touchdown. And that's exactly what the Vikings did.

[01:14:32]

If you're up 6, you might as well be tied and it's overtime.

[01:14:34]

Right. And if you, if you go for the touchdown there and get it, you are winning the game. You're up two scores. You've won the game.

[01:14:40]

By the way, if you're up one and you kick the field goal, I like that. Yeah, I like that a lot.

[01:14:44]

Yeah. 2.

[01:14:45]

I like that a lot. If you're up 3, I don't like it.

[01:14:48]

No. Because it's like you, I Mean, you're just. You didn't change anything. Really.

[01:14:51]

Yeah.

[01:14:52]

The other team's just going to go even harder. The urgency is going to be there.

[01:14:55]

Kevin O'Connell, they have every fourth down now stat hole. Sports pointed this out. Kevin O'Connell is now 24 and 10 in one score games.

[01:15:02]

24 and 10.

[01:15:03]

Pretty good coach.

[01:15:03]

That is really good coach. Yeah, yeah. No, Kevin O'Connell's a very good coach. And yeah, the Vikings, like I. That was Sam. Darn. Sam Darnold won that game. He was 0 and 23 in games when he was trailing by 13 plus points until today.

[01:15:17]

I also like their strategy of when teams take away Justin Jefferson, just hitting up Jordan Addison all the time.

[01:15:23]

Yeah.

[01:15:23]

And then teams are like, fuck, we can't let Jordan Addison beat us. And then they have Justin Jefferson.

[01:15:26]

Yeah, Justin Jefferson makes a big catch in fourth quarter. He was. By the way, Justin Jefferson was the fourth player all time to have a thousand yards in his first five seasons. Pretty impressive. He's really good. And yeah, this was a game where it felt like the Vikings were going to lose the whole game because they couldn't do anything offensively. Their defense played well. Ben, don't break the Cardinals. Essentially all they had to do was convert one of those red zone trips into a touchdown instead of kicking all these field goals and they win this game. And now they're looking at it and be like, we've lost two straight. And the Seahawks winning. Seahawks now have a game lead in the NFC West. That was a missed opportunity. Just like the Falcons as a missed opportunity for the Cardinals.

[01:16:06]

That one, that crazy field goal too. Like, best case scenario, you go up six points and you also give them like 24, 20 yards of extra field position.

[01:16:15]

Correct, correct. I agree. I wrote it down as well. I was like, this is a six point lead is the worst lead to have in football.

[01:16:21]

Yeah. What six point lead would be the worst? I feel like 14 to 20 is pretty bad.

[01:16:27]

Yeah. Because then you see the 21, 21.

[01:16:29]

20, you know it's gonna be 21, 20, 16, 10.

[01:16:32]

That's pretty bad as well.

[01:16:33]

16. Actually, you're right.

[01:16:34]

Yeah.

[01:16:34]

16, 10, that is the worst because.

[01:16:36]

You just can see it. You're like, oh, they're just gonna score a touchdown. They're gonna have 17, 13, 72.

[01:16:41]

I feel like it's more common.

[01:16:42]

Yeah. 13, 7 as well. Yeah, those are bad leads. 19, what was it? 1913. That one was.

[01:16:49]

Man, I'd rather, I'd rather be losing.

[01:16:52]

No, no, no, sorry. This one.

[01:16:54]

13 you got some cushion.

[01:16:55]

Yeah.

[01:16:55]

This one was. That's a big one.

[01:16:56]

This one was 22 6, 6, 16. They were up 196 and then it became 2260 is not bad. Yeah.

[01:17:04]

Sizable.

[01:17:05]

Yeah. That one. I actually. Yeah. Now that we're talking it out, I actually kind of agree with the field goal.

[01:17:09]

Yeah.

[01:17:10]

To go from 19619 to 16 to 22 16. You feel like you won the game.

[01:17:14]

Yeah. 20, 25 to 31. That's a pretty big lead, too.

[01:17:18]

Yeah.

[01:17:19]

No, 24 to 30. Kind of like. Yeah. 24 to 30.

[01:17:23]

I think anything. You're going to lose that game.

[01:17:26]

I think Jonathan Gannon might be vindicated. I can understand why he got tripped up. You look at the score. 1916. You're kicking a field goal every time to go up 22:16. Yep. You're like, that doesn't make sense of touchdown. Doesn't get to 23. Oh, yeah, it does.

[01:17:38]

It does.

[01:17:39]

In fact, it does. But you could easily make that mistake.

[01:17:42]

What about. What about 18 to 12?

[01:17:48]

Now that's just.

[01:17:49]

That doesn't.

[01:17:50]

That's just. You're just in a funky. Yeah. That's just so many field goals.

[01:17:53]

It's just a year.

[01:17:53]

You're just like, they're going to kick another field goal because that's all we've been doing. I think the Steelers beat the Falcons 18 to 12 this week 1.

[01:18:01]

Things have changed.

[01:18:02]

That's weird. If I. If that's.

[01:18:04]

Oh, is that. That was all the field goals?

[01:18:06]

Yeah, that might. That's like you've been watching too much football. Maybe go outside for a little bit. If I'm thinking about that.

[01:18:12]

That feels like a Falcons Steelers score, doesn't it?

[01:18:15]

Yeah, it does. Yeah. The Cardinals, they're going to kick themselves not having this game. And the Vikings, I mean, Sam Darnold, I was impressed. Sam Darnold, they. Sam Darnold won him. This the defense again. Ben, don't break. But like they were stuck in the mud in Sam Darnold and Aaron Jones fumbles. They put him in the doghouse and he makes the big touchdown catch. Vikings are. Vikings are good. The NFC north is fucking. It's a dog fight. Yeah, it's a dog fight. Okay, next game. Talk about an ass kicking. PFT, you're back. 42 Commanders, 42 Titans, 19. That was an ass kick.

[01:18:51]

It was a get right. It was get right. We got right.

[01:18:54]

I actually think that was. If you had to script a realistic. Worst way to start a game. The Titans did it.

[01:19:01]

Yeah. 21 nothing in the first quarter. And it was almost 28 nothing in the first quarter, too.

[01:19:06]

Yeah.

[01:19:07]

Just everything went poorly for the Titans. And the Titans, believe it or not, did have the second best total defense.

[01:19:13]

Yeah.

[01:19:14]

Of any team in the NFL going in this game. Now. Yes. A lot of that was because their special teams are so bad that a lot of opponents get short field position on them.

[01:19:21]

Yeah.

[01:19:21]

So they don't give up a lot of yards sometimes when they're just, you know, fumbling like crazy on punt returns and shit. But yeah, it was. It just took care of business. And the haters out there, they said that we couldn't make the playoffs. The haters are furious. The haters can't believe that they would ever make such a dumb bet. And that was. That was the goal for the Commanders this entire season. Just make the playoffs. That's our Super Bowl.

[01:19:43]

Yeah.

[01:19:44]

And we took one step closer that 83% likelihood to make the playoffs.

[01:19:47]

Now, there you go.

[01:19:48]

Had to have it. Had to have it. Now we're going to buy. I hate the late buys, too. It's way too late to have a buy. But more importantly, Jayden Daniels proved that he can win in cold weather because I don't think he's ever played a game that was 41 degrees of kickoff. Oh, and he did. He did the same thing that he does in every game, which he just stands there smiling with his hands in his pockets. Athletic bin. Mintz.

[01:20:08]

Max, where did you get that 80% from?

[01:20:12]

83% chance to make the playoffs.

[01:20:14]

On the Internet, I'm seeing 70%.

[01:20:16]

Have they updated it with the results of today's games? Yes, I updated it and I saw.

[01:20:23]

Can you see this computer screen?

[01:20:24]

Yeah. Says 70. Yeah.

[01:20:26]

Go to a different website. Go to a different website because I don't think. I don't think your website's good, Max.

[01:20:32]

What? This is NFL.

[01:20:34]

I think you got a bat. I don't think that they've updated it with all the results yet.

[01:20:37]

Have they updated with all the results, Max?

[01:20:40]

Yes.

[01:20:40]

By the way, the. The titans.

[01:20:42]

Maybe your 83% was before the results were updated.

[01:20:45]

No, no, it was post.

[01:20:46]

The. The Titans start was punt, punt, fumble, fumble. 11 penalties in the first half. And before they ran their ninth or their 10th offensive snap, it was 28 nothing.

[01:20:57]

Yeah.

[01:20:58]

10Th offensive snap, it was28 nothing. Yeah.

[01:21:00]

And hey, Cliff Kingsbury. I don't know if you listen to the pod or you just listen to literally everybody else, but very first play of the game, he put Terry McLaurin on the right side of the field.

[01:21:10]

Yeah.

[01:21:10]

Which he never done this year.

[01:21:12]

And he ran the ball. And he ran the ball the 39 carries for 246 yards.

[01:21:16]

The big question, though, is, look at 85% now.

[01:21:19]

Oh, it just went up in the last two minutes.

[01:21:21]

Yeah.

[01:21:23]

On what website?

[01:21:24]

Maybe because the. The Niners are losing.

[01:21:29]

Could be PFT's on Microsoft Paint right now.

[01:21:32]

Yeah. Just making my own graphic right here. Look at this.

[01:21:35]

He was just typing it.

[01:21:36]

He was just drawing his own 85%, 2% soupy.

[01:21:40]

Whoa.

[01:21:41]

I'm liking that. I'm not thinking soupy, though. I'm not.

[01:21:45]

Max, you literally just said soupy.

[01:21:47]

I said. I'm reading the.

[01:21:48]

By saying the word soupy that you.

[01:21:52]

You were thinking about the Thanksgiving.

[01:21:54]

Thinking about soupy.

[01:21:55]

I made it.

[01:21:56]

I made a soupy.

[01:21:57]

Yeah.

[01:21:57]

Yeah.

[01:21:58]

Max, are you worried?

[01:21:59]

No.

[01:22:00]

Oh, that I can read. I can read, Max. A little bit.

[01:22:04]

It's. The commanders looked awesome.

[01:22:05]

I can read, Max. A little bit.

[01:22:06]

You were the fucking Titans.

[01:22:08]

Okay. But they looked awesome.

[01:22:10]

You were.

[01:22:10]

You struggle with the Ravens.

[01:22:11]

You were pretty hard for basically the same thing.

[01:22:14]

I thought that Max was rooting for the Bucks today because he would rather play the Bucks in the playoffs.

[01:22:19]

No, they lose the Bucks.

[01:22:21]

Yeah, we get smoked by the Bucks.

[01:22:23]

They've lost their last, like a million games to the Bucks. They. They, they lose the Bucks both now and historically.

[01:22:31]

Yeah.

[01:22:31]

I'm just looking forward to our game coming up on December 22nd. Max. I'm hoping that gets flex to Monday night.

[01:22:40]

I feel like it could.

[01:22:41]

I would. I will be there no matter what.

[01:22:43]

How are you guys, Hank and pft? We're great. Yeah.

[01:22:47]

We haven't discussed anything.

[01:22:49]

Do you want to discuss.

[01:22:50]

I don't want to talk to Hank right now.

[01:22:52]

No, I mean, I, I said I, I, I picked the Titans today, and I, I admitted that I let PFT's hatred and meanness and ugliness towards me cloud my judgment. Oh, his hate turned into.

[01:23:03]

Now you're in free.

[01:23:06]

And I. Yeah, I, I admit it. And it was a good bounce back. The commander showed me a lot. It's probably a bad bet. And that's it. It was never personal, so I don't know why it's got to be.

[01:23:18]

How happy would you have been if the Titans won this game? That would have been quite some potting.

[01:23:25]

Yeah, I would have been pretty happy.

[01:23:26]

I mean, there's three teams that are a game back in the lost column.

[01:23:30]

Yeah, but 85%'s a walk.

[01:23:32]

Stop it, Eric.

[01:23:34]

85%.

[01:23:35]

Hank and I. Yeah, we're at each other's throats. Don't talk. He wishes nothing but the worst for me.

[01:23:41]

That's not true.

[01:23:41]

I root for Hank.

[01:23:42]

I got the commander super bowl future.

[01:23:44]

I appreciate that, Hank. You're good.

[01:23:46]

Wait, yeah. You're 8 and 5 in the bucks. Oh, maybe Cardinals, Rams, 6 and 6.

[01:23:52]

Is that what it was? You're just looking the commander's record.

[01:23:56]

Yeah. So if the Bucks, Cardinals and Rams won next week, they would all be one game out. That would be. That would be bad. You gotta root against.

[01:24:06]

That would be bad.

[01:24:08]

You gotta root against that heart. Yeah.

[01:24:10]

It says right here 85% at the Saints, your schedules. It's not bad.

[01:24:18]

No, it's. It. Basically, it might come down to what type of Cowboys team's going.

[01:24:23]

It might come down to the Cowboys. It might come down to Kirk Cousins revenge game.

[01:24:26]

Yeah.

[01:24:27]

Or Michael Penix.

[01:24:28]

Or Michael Penix revenge game.

[01:24:31]

Yeah. For not drafting.

[01:24:33]

Yeah. All right. Well, I'm happy that you guys are back together kind of. Yeah.

[01:24:37]

The offense looked really good today and our defense looked good. What, Hank?

[01:24:43]

Yeah.

[01:24:43]

The office looked good.

[01:24:44]

The offense looked good.

[01:24:45]

Say something nice about the commanders.

[01:24:47]

They look great.

[01:24:48]

Jane. Jane Daniels played great. I also.

[01:24:50]

Rookie of the week.

[01:24:51]

I also let it cloud my fantasy. I bench them on fantasy too. And I regret.

[01:24:54]

Oh, no. This is a great subplot that you, you were in PFT's head and then now it's been reversed.

[01:25:02]

But I'm going, I'm going back to passively hating. I, I'm not going to be betting against the commanders.

[01:25:08]

Okay.

[01:25:08]

They lose, I'm not going to be mad, but I'm not going to be putting my chips in the. On the table.

[01:25:12]

Got it.

[01:25:13]

I don't think I got into Hank's head. I think Hank got into his own head rent free.

[01:25:18]

Well, no, you were just so mean to me that I was like, yeah, I don't want to see this guy happy. Now I, now I want them to lose.

[01:25:23]

You live rent free in your own head.

[01:25:26]

The commanders looked very good today. They. Did you get credit for killing bad teams?

[01:25:31]

Yeah, they did. The defense looked pretty good too. Everything we needed a get right game because we'd look real bad over the previous three weeks. So now I get a buy. Now I get a stress free week of football, which I'm looking forward to.

[01:25:42]

Yeah, the buys. Not having to watch your team on a Sunday. Well, I mean, your team has been.

[01:25:48]

Fun, but you have three teams that are chasing you, so it's not stress free.

[01:25:52]

Sounds like you're stressed Out.

[01:25:53]

No, it just doesn't make sense.

[01:25:56]

Yeah. There will be some stress. I have stress.

[01:25:59]

I feel good. I feel good because of the way that we played today.

[01:26:02]

Now I'm like you, Cooper, Rush, and the Cowboys.

[01:26:05]

Yeah.

[01:26:05]

But no, you don't get it. It's a magic wand. This game happened now. Everything's fine.

[01:26:09]

It was the fucking Titans.

[01:26:11]

Yeah. Did you hear when I said that they had the second best defense in the NFL?

[01:26:15]

Sick. It's the Titans, Okay?

[01:26:19]

They beat the Texans.

[01:26:21]

They're all. They also have four wins.

[01:26:24]

True.

[01:26:24]

Three wins. Three and nine. Congratulations.

[01:26:28]

Listen, I. I am. I'm happy. You're not going to steal my happiness. Don't be a. Don't be an energy vampire.

[01:26:34]

Don't steal his happiness.

[01:26:35]

Allow me to.

[01:26:36]

I just want expectations.

[01:26:38]

Jerry turned to him when he was up 28. Nothing. He's like, is this even fun for you? It's like, I want to be like Jerry. What are you talking. Yeah.

[01:26:43]

It was a lot of fun.

[01:26:44]

So much fun.

[01:26:45]

It was a lot of fun. I wanted Marcus, Mario to get in for the second half, play against the.

[01:26:49]

Old team, the sickos and perverts. If they had to write a script.

[01:26:53]

Yeah.

[01:26:53]

It would be the Rams catching the commanders. Hank getting to laugh in PFT's face. And then the Rams winning the super bowl. And I'm losing my pinky. Yep.

[01:27:04]

Honestly, not the sound of that. Not from just an entertainment aspect. Pretty good work. Pretty good work, script writer.

[01:27:10]

And the Rams beat the Eagles along the way. So that you get that as well.

[01:27:16]

Yeah.

[01:27:16]

Where? Where I. Where? Like, I could just envision it a podcast where I'm like. In mid January, where I'm like, max, your team stink. The Rams beat you. And he's like, you're going to lose your fucking banking.

[01:27:28]

Your Rams beat the Chargers in the Super Bowl.

[01:27:34]

In the Super Bowl.

[01:27:36]

Okay, that'll probably happen.

[01:29:44]

Patriots 24 Hank yeah, basically exactly what.

[01:29:50]

We said in the preview. It was a fun game to watch because the Pat Stevens is so bad. Anthony Richardson looked really good. Drake May played. He played well. He looked like a quarterback.

[01:30:01]

He won the game.

[01:30:02]

His game winning drives. He's had two game winning drives the last three weeks that I've been very impressed with.

[01:30:07]

Yeah, and he was. He was running the ball. He was managing the game. He didn't look like he was completely lost out there like he has against other teams. Drake May played well. I don't know. I wanted them to win.

[01:30:21]

Yeah, he did. Joey Sly almost hit that kick.

[01:30:24]

He missed 25 yarder by 45 yards somehow. And then yeah, they tried to kick a 65 yard field goal.

[01:30:33]

68.

[01:30:34]

68.

[01:30:34]

Yeah. Tried for an NFL record.

[01:30:37]

You guys like doubled up their yardage too, and just, they just couldn't win the game in the end. Shane Steichen deserves a lot of credit for going for two.

[01:30:46]

Yeah, respected that.

[01:30:47]

That was a ballsy move.

[01:30:48]

So there was a rumor that Juan Soto was going to be the keeper of the light before the game.

[01:30:52]

What?

[01:30:53]

There's a rumor out there from Jared Karabas. Instead it was Kofi Kingston, WWE Superstar legend. So good company, Hank.

[01:31:01]

Yeah, I thought Anthony Richardson, I mean, it's the same thing every time where some, some of his passes are drops. His. He had one interception was very bad. He's, you know, he threw for like 100 yards and he was. And he started 3 for 3 and ended up 12 for 24. But his game winning drive deserves a lot of credit. And that's where I'm like, oh, okay. I could see it. But I'm also not going to be like, man, he diced them up. Yeah.

[01:31:25]

Did you. Do you always want to beat the Colts? Does that still run your blood?

[01:31:29]

No. The Colts are, I mean, they've. They have a rivalry with us. We don't really have a rivalry with them. Yeah, rivalries back on pain, Manning years even, that was a rivalry. But we've won most of those games. And then, you know, Andrew Luck to Flake 8. Those are all domination. I mean, the Mayo, the Mayo thing is going to be the interesting team with. The interesting thing with this team is they're so undisciplined. There are so many penalties and they don't play good defense. So why do they keep him around as a head coach? That will be the question moving forward, off season, etc. I feel like they're going to stick with them, but. But it doesn't make sense to me.

[01:32:08]

I feel like they might stick with him because Robert Kraft would think that that's a bad look for him to fire a coach after one year.

[01:32:15]

Yeah. Yeah.

[01:32:15]

And there was, there's video, you know, there's videos of him being like, I knew he was going to be the next Patriots head coach five years ago. And it's like, what. Why? That was right. Right after the Patriots won the Super Bowl.

[01:32:24]

Yeah.

[01:32:24]

Yeah.

[01:32:24]

That's weird. Yeah. And Drake May played well. That 41 yard run was awesome. And the interception, that was, that was a Madden glitch. That was literally a Madden glitch where the ball fell on a guy who was on the ground and someone picked it up off of him.

[01:32:42]

It was a good pass.

[01:32:43]

Yeah. So disappointing in the loss, but everything's okay.

[01:32:49]

Yeah.

[01:32:49]

Fun loss.

[01:32:50]

How the Celtics doing? Celtics lost today.

[01:32:53]

Yeah. Fourth quarter lead collapsed. Injuries, Jalen Brown. Derek White didn't play. Yeah, they lost.

[01:33:02]

Damn. Yeah. I'm sorry.

[01:33:03]

How are they looking at the standings?

[01:33:06]

Probably second place.

[01:33:07]

Yeah.

[01:33:08]

Any.

[01:33:09]

Any good? Good teams that are looking pretty hot.

[01:33:13]

I mean, they lost to the Cavs. The Cavs are in first. But if we played him in the playoffs, we'd probably sweep them again.

[01:33:17]

Would you be afraid of the Bucks?

[01:33:20]

Not afraid.

[01:33:21]

Six game winning streak, healthy.

[01:33:23]

Giannis maybe a formidable opponent? I wouldn't be afraid. I'm not. Celtics aren't afraid. Anyone fully held these Celtics beat anyone.

[01:33:31]

That was funny with the Celtics did to the Bulls on Friday when they. They're playing for the NBA cup and they hit that three at the end for point differential.

[01:33:38]

How's it. How's it?

[01:33:39]

Very funny.

[01:33:40]

Felt bad about him.

[01:33:40]

Yeah, it was very funny. But that's what the NBA cup does. You got to get the point differential.

[01:33:45]

Just means more.

[01:33:46]

How are the Sixers doing on their race to get to 10 wins?

[01:33:49]

I think we. So you. We said by Christmas.

[01:33:55]

Yeah.

[01:33:56]

What if we. What if we beat the Celtics on Christmas? Does that count as one of the 10?

[01:34:00]

That would be a win.

[01:34:01]

I'm gonna count that as four wins.

[01:34:03]

Yeah. Yeah. No, but let's just say.

[01:34:05]

But it's at the start of Christmas Day or the end of.

[01:34:07]

End of Christmas Day.

[01:34:08]

Okay. So then we can afford one loss.

[01:34:12]

Wait, what? I think we have to get.

[01:34:14]

We'd have to win every game. I think. I think.

[01:34:17]

No, I think that game should count as more than one win.

[01:34:20]

Okay.

[01:34:20]

That's a big game. It's on Christmas.

[01:34:22]

Yeah.

[01:34:23]

So.

[01:34:23]

Yeah.

[01:34:23]

No, it's bad.

[01:34:24]

You have the opportunity to ruin Hank's Christmas.

[01:34:26]

You know what?

[01:34:26]

You know what a gift that is?

[01:34:28]

Wow.

[01:34:29]

I mean, there's no way, like, we might lose that game by 50.

[01:34:32]

Yeah.

[01:34:34]

Is Joel going to. Is he going to play?

[01:34:36]

I want him to get surgery on his knee and just clean it up. Just clean it up.

[01:34:41]

Just get the whole thing.

[01:34:42]

Just clean it up. Take the air off.

[01:34:44]

Oh, geez. Wow.

[01:34:45]

Cooper flag. And then we're back this year.

[01:34:48]

You opted out?

[01:34:48]

You opted out.

[01:34:49]

I told you I opted back in.

[01:34:50]

You can't do it.

[01:34:51]

How it works.

[01:34:52]

Already opted in.

[01:34:53]

By the way, the Colts we should say so. I love the Shane Steichen move. Going for two. Cause he just. You gotta keep. You gotta win right now. If you're the Colts. They basically their season comes down to they have a buy and then their game against the Broncos. If they can beat the Broncos, they legitimately could go to the playoffs.

[01:35:10]

Yeah.

[01:35:11]

Because that is the team right ahead of them and the end of their season is Titans, Giants, Jaguars. So watch out for the Colts. It would be awesome for Anthony Richardson to get like there are. I'll say this because I know I've been harsh on Anthony Richardson. I know that the Anthony Richard fans have been like, you've been so mean. I feel like I've only said facts. But the game winning drives against the jets and the Patriots both have me being like, you know what, keep, keep running them out there and see if he can, he can figure this out.

[01:35:40]

Hank, if it was any other quarterback that won the game against you and then did the Fortnite L dance in your face, would you be upset?

[01:35:50]

I don't know. I mean, when you're, it's, it's. That type of stuff gets you upset. When you're, when you're a good team and you're like fighting for something. Yeah, we're in take a thon mode. It's like, who cares?

[01:36:01]

You did leave the room very abruptly.

[01:36:04]

I mean, I had, I had a big, I had a big. Which it would have been more devastating when the Celtics lost. I had a big. Patriots, Bruins, Celtics. Because they all played today. Parlay that lost.

[01:36:14]

Ah, okay. So I noticed that. And now you're four. Yeah. You're fourth. You're picking fourth. Who do you want? Travis Hunter. I know you're a big college football guy.

[01:36:26]

Yeah, I don't know. I gotta, I gotta do some more analysts analysis.

[01:36:29]

You gotta do more analysts.

[01:36:32]

You do a little more analysts analyst thing.

[01:36:34]

All right. Speaking of who's picking first, you should make a.

[01:36:38]

You should make a big board. Hankalytics.

[01:36:39]

Hey, Klitics Drake may look good. That's all you got to keep saying yourself. And the interception was definitely not his fault. That was an insane like how does that happen? Type of interception. Speaking of who's picking first? The Jaguars. Texans 23, Jaguars 20. This was basically just the Trevor Lawrence, holy shit. He got rocked game because Aziz Alster here. That was as bad of a pick or bad of a hit as we've seen in a long time.

[01:37:07]

Yeah. Head bounced off the ground after starting.

[01:37:09]

His slide going in forearm so shitty.

[01:37:13]

This, this is why it's so fucked up when Patrick Holmes is a fake slide.

[01:37:18]

Yeah.

[01:37:18]

Because you're like, oh, he's not really down. And granted Trevor Lawrence was very clearly going.

[01:37:23]

He was very much down this one. Yes.

[01:37:25]

It was a very dirty hit. So much so, in fact that D'Amico Ryan's after the game basically threw his guy into the bus and was like, we don't coach that well.

[01:37:32]

I mean that was. That also hurt their defense because the second half, the Jaguar, Mac Jones had a little bit of a comeback. Made it a close game, but yeah, that was. That was bad. And then we had I. The Jaguars. Credit to the Jaguars. They wanted to fight right away. Yeah, that was awesome. And then Jaguars fans started throwing at him. I actually think that's okay in that given those circumstances. I agree.

[01:37:52]

I also like when. When Aziz also here hit him, he bounced up immediately was like, I didn't do it.

[01:37:57]

Yeah.

[01:37:58]

I didn't do anything wrong.

[01:37:59]

Like what?

[01:37:59]

And then was greeted by like four sets of cleats.

[01:38:01]

Yeah.

[01:38:02]

Like Biz and Scottsdale.

[01:38:03]

Yeah. They all wanted to fight him, which it was good that they all had his back.

[01:38:07]

He got boot.

[01:38:07]

Yeah, it was. That was a bad, bad hit.

[01:38:10]

It was bad hit. And I still don't really believe in the Texans, but if they're going to win football games by just feeding Joe Mixon, then I think that they're a pretty good team.

[01:38:18]

Yeah, he.

[01:38:18]

I still like, I've got my doubts about him.

[01:38:21]

Yeah. He iced out that game. Their offense looked a little bit better because they didn't. CJ Stroud had time for once.

[01:38:27]

Yeah.

[01:38:27]

He only got sacked twice. They didn't have a ton of penalties. Their defense is what was bad in the third, fourth quarter with Mac Jones was bringing them back.

[01:38:35]

I was actually shocked when I tuned into this game and looked at the screen for the first time that Doug Peterson is still there. Coach.

[01:38:41]

Oh, yeah.

[01:38:42]

I was surprised. I knew he hadn't been fired yet. But is he the most pre fired person in NFL history?

[01:38:48]

Yeah. I think Sean Khan was just like, I don't really want to do this right now.

[01:38:51]

Yeah.

[01:38:52]

Like I'll just wait till the end of the season. Why? Why, why even do this?

[01:38:55]

Yeah. Hank, what just happened? Your eyes got real big.

[01:38:58]

Matt Collins scored a touchdown, had a many time touchdown score.

[01:39:01]

There we go.

[01:39:01]

No shoes.

[01:39:02]

Because the. No shoes.

[01:39:03]

Yeah.

[01:39:03]

No shoes. Yeah. He's a dog. The pills are fucking good. We'll talk about that game when it ends. By the way, Max has reached his add portion where he's. He just stuck a quarter to his head for like five minutes. It's very weird. Yeah. I don't believe in the Texans either.

[01:39:18]

Yeah.

[01:39:18]

And the Jaguars is changing his mind. Sit Trevor Lawrence for the rest of the year, right?

[01:39:23]

Yeah, yeah.

[01:39:24]

There's no reason to play him.

[01:39:26]

I don't see a reason why you would bring him back.

[01:39:27]

Tank. And then just basically the Jaguars are like, bury the. Bury the tape for the entire season.

[01:39:34]

If you're the Jaguars, do you then trade the first overall pick? I think you have to, right?

[01:39:37]

Possibly, yeah. If someone's vying for it.

[01:39:40]

Carolina.

[01:39:40]

Yeah. Get a halt. I don't know. Bryce Young is good.

[01:39:43]

I know he is.

[01:39:43]

Bryce Young is good. He's back. But yeah, sit him and just. Jaguars. Just go with, like, the Jaguars don't need to be talked about anymore. Essentially. Yeah.

[01:39:55]

Just opt out of the season.

[01:39:56]

We should opt out of all Jaguars discourse. Who do they. Do they play any meaningful games? They have any meaningful opponents left? I guess the Colts, but no. Oh, wow. Jaguars. We're opting out of the Jaguars. Who do we have officially? The. They play the Titans.

[01:40:15]

Yeah.

[01:40:15]

The Jets. The Raiders. The Titans again.

[01:40:19]

Oh, awesome.

[01:40:19]

We've opted out of the Jaguars.

[01:40:21]

I'm done.

[01:40:21]

I'm done. We're done with the Jacksonville Jaguar. Put out a press release. The. Pardon, my take is officially done with the 2024 Jacksonville Jaguars and any discourse surrounding them.

[01:40:33]

Love that.

[01:40:34]

We might. And then maybe an asterisk that says depending on whether Week 18 the Colts game has any implications.

[01:40:41]

Memes actually brings up a good point. He says that this is actually massive for Tankathon. Yeah, all of those games are huge. Tankathon games.

[01:40:50]

Yeah, huge. I guess. So we're opted back in.

[01:40:53]

We'll update Tank. We'll update Tankathon in lieu of doing the Jaguars recap.

[01:40:57]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll just do a Tankathon. That's when we'll talk about the Jaguars. Yeah, yeah. We will officially stop doing game recaps for the Jaguars games. We'll just have it be the Tankathon.

[01:41:07]

I like that.

[01:41:08]

Okay. Last game of the early slate. Seahawks 26, Jets 21. Memes, try not to give eye contact. This was memes. Where do you want to start?

[01:41:21]

This was one of the greatest first quarters of all time by any football team ever.

[01:41:26]

Okay. Because I didn't know if you wanted to start with that, where The Seahawks had two fumbles on kickoffs and also gave up a 99 yard kickoff return. So they were down so fast. So they were down so quickly. I thought maybe you wanted to start with the fact that Gino Smith was playing the Jets. Mark Sanchez was calling the game, and then someone Pointed out that. And Tannenbaum is doing the coach search, and it's just. It's like basically the gang is all back together.

[01:41:57]

Yeah, no, we're the circus.

[01:41:59]

Yeah. Circus came to town. But yeah. That was an incredible start.

[01:42:04]

Incredible. Incredible first quarter. Probably that's up there with the Mike White game from week eight when we beat the Bengals.

[01:42:10]

Yep.

[01:42:13]

I lost my train of thought how.

[01:42:16]

Good the first quarter was.

[01:42:17]

How good the first quarter was. Incredible execution. Devonte Adams, Aaron Rodgers slinging it. Thought we just needed a buy. They got going. I thought the season was saved. And then he overthrew Garrett Wilson in the end zone.

[01:42:31]

Yeah.

[01:42:31]

Oh, that was a bad one. What happened after that?

[01:42:34]

And then it was a pick six to Leonard Williams.

[01:42:37]

Wait, where did he play? Where'd he get drafted? There was.

[01:42:40]

There was a bridge team in there.

[01:42:41]

But where did you draft?

[01:42:42]

Yeah, originally he was really good when he was a rookie. Right.

[01:42:46]

Where'd he get drafted?

[01:42:47]

The Jets.

[01:42:48]

Oh, so Geno Smith, who got drafted by the Jets?

[01:42:51]

He did. Yeah, him too.

[01:42:52]

But there.

[01:42:53]

And Mark Sanchez got drafted by the Jets.

[01:42:55]

There was a bridge team for all three impact players for the Seahawks.

[01:43:00]

Who did? Who did? Gino.

[01:43:01]

Who's the third impact player?

[01:43:03]

Julian Love.

[01:43:03]

Oh, okay.

[01:43:04]

He caused a fumble on Breeze hall and they were all on the Giants.

[01:43:10]

What did you make of the news coming out before the game that Aaron Rogers is unlikely to return?

[01:43:16]

I was like, all right, we'll move on. And then that first quarter happened. I was like, all right, let's just run it back. Restructure. Run it back.

[01:43:22]

Yeah, yeah.

[01:43:23]

What about.

[01:43:23]

Say he's in the best shape of his life physically?

[01:43:25]

Yeah, he's.

[01:43:26]

Well, I should. I should changed that. He said he feels the best that he's ever felt physically in his life.

[01:43:33]

Feels the best he's ever felt physically.

[01:43:34]

And this is a man who's done a lot of awesome drugs that make you feel really good physically.

[01:43:38]

So it makes sense based on that first quarter. And then you saw the deterioration throughout the game when he overthrew Devonte Adams on that fourth down, he overthrew Garrett Wilson. There was just a lot of timing mishaps.

[01:43:54]

Yeah.

[01:43:55]

If we had a four years younger Aaron Rodgers, it would be unreal.

[01:43:59]

Yeah. So he said that not only is the. The healthiest he's felt for a while, but he also said when asked about, like, whose fault it is, he said, There's 11 guys on the field, sometimes my fault. And then sometimes the details aren't there in some other spots too. Sounds like he Thinks other people's faults.

[01:44:16]

Yeah, I saw that quote. A lot of it is his fault.

[01:44:21]

Yeah. Well, it means I got a bad stat for you. Unfortunately, this game brought Aaron Rodgers out of the top five in EPA per play this year. All the way down to 23rd this game. Well, I assume he was top five before that.

[01:44:37]

He was top five and everything.

[01:44:38]

Everything.

[01:44:39]

At one point he was top five.

[01:44:40]

This is a terrible second half collapse for the Jets.

[01:44:44]

Yeah.

[01:44:44]

After their offense started the season off looking so good.

[01:44:46]

Yeah.

[01:44:49]

Yeah. You guys just keep bringing up bad stats.

[01:44:51]

I actually. All right, memes, I got something to maybe cheer you up. I found a bad stat and then it ended up being. It was basically like, call the ambulance, but not for me meme where, you know, the guy compels a gun because Aaron Rodgers has not thrown for 300 yards in 34 games. And then I went to look it up and obviously the last time he did it was against the bears. Yeah. Week 13, 20, 21. So call the ambulance. But for me.

[01:45:17]

Yeah, I've been aware of.

[01:45:18]

That's that.

[01:45:19]

Yeah. So memes. What? Also Aaron Rodgers had the ball with a chance to win the game with a field goal or touchdown. Five times this year. Over five memes. Though, since we're on the talk of memes, walk us through. Geno Smith, after the game posted the meme of like, you know, dressed up for my hater. For my haters funeral. That meme.

[01:45:44]

Yep.

[01:45:46]

You were upset. Yeah.

[01:45:48]

It's fucked up. Talk shit when. When it's even score. Oh, wait, that's a Michael Jordan meme.

[01:45:53]

Yeah, that is. Yeah.

[01:45:54]

Talk shit when it's even score. You won. Go back to Seattle. Go fuck yourself. That's it.

[01:46:01]

Okay, stop.

[01:46:02]

You're his biggest hater.

[01:46:03]

Yeah.

[01:46:03]

And today was your funeral.

[01:46:05]

We're not his biggest hater. Charities are his biggest haters.

[01:46:08]

Oh, oh. Go.

[01:46:08]

What?

[01:46:10]

Why do charities.

[01:46:11]

The reason why it didn't work out on the jets is because charity event. And he got punched in the face. And then Ryan Fitzpatrick had the second greatest season in jets history. So they gave Ryan Fitzpatrick a new contract. They believed in him. Then Ryan Fitzpatrick got fat and sucked.

[01:46:27]

Whoa. He did.

[01:46:29]

Yeah, because he held out for more money, which set a rip off to where we are now. So Geno Smith not showing up to a charity event set The jets back 10 years to this moment.

[01:46:41]

Okay.

[01:46:41]

And we're sure that he did not show up to the charity event. That's exactly what happened.

[01:46:45]

You bought him a plane ticket and just didn't show up.

[01:46:48]

And yeah, Memes. Memes replied, hey, Geno, respectfully, go fuck yourself.

[01:46:52]

He's bad guys.

[01:46:53]

Seems like you're not happy.

[01:46:54]

Would you like him to be the next jets quarterback?

[01:46:56]

No. Good question, Max.

[01:46:59]

So given the. Given the opportunity, you would say no to Geno Smith?

[01:47:04]

No, I don't think you're in a place to be able to do that.

[01:47:06]

Yeah, Yeah.

[01:47:07]

I mean, you're gonna have to say yes to Gino.

[01:47:09]

Kirk Cousins, you would say yes to him. I think you probably say yes to Derek.

[01:47:13]

Sam Darnold, he said yes to.

[01:47:14]

Yeah, yeah.

[01:47:15]

Derek Carr. I think he's a free agent or he's. He's going to be out of New Orleans probably next year.

[01:47:21]

Yeah.

[01:47:22]

Derek Carr will be a wild ride.

[01:47:24]

Oh, wild ride what a wild ride we got Derek. Car, boys.

[01:47:30]

Yeah, Derek R. I do Derek R. You would.

[01:47:32]

Yeah.

[01:47:32]

You would do Geno Smith.

[01:47:34]

No, you should say yes.

[01:47:36]

Geno Smith now bad guy.

[01:47:38]

You should say yes to Geno Smith.

[01:47:39]

You love memes. You literally love memes.

[01:47:42]

He's a bad guy.

[01:47:44]

You're just. You're jealous, I think, of what he memed you.

[01:47:47]

Yeah, exactly. He used your weapons against you.

[01:47:52]

That's a good point.

[01:47:53]

That's why I brought it up, because I was like, oh, memes got memed. He's got to be pissed about.

[01:47:57]

Yeah, but do. Do it before the game. Everybody talks after.

[01:47:59]

You can't do that before the game.

[01:48:01]

Yeah.

[01:48:02]

Be a man.

[01:48:04]

But it doesn't make sense before.

[01:48:05]

Yeah, that doesn't make sense before the game.

[01:48:07]

If they're your biggest hater, talk your shit before the game.

[01:48:11]

But that's not the funeral.

[01:48:13]

Yeah, he killed them.

[01:48:14]

He would.

[01:48:16]

So we're all black going into the game.

[01:48:18]

The jets were all black today.

[01:48:20]

That's true.

[01:48:20]

How'd you like those uniforms?

[01:48:22]

I love those uniforms.

[01:48:23]

Aaron Rodgers looked very, very depressed in that uniform. Yeah, he looked like a French painter from the 1700s.

[01:48:32]

Yeah, he should. He should just retire.

[01:48:34]

Well, so he wants to play next year, I think, but according to the jets, he's not going to be back. I've got just something I'm going to toss out there because to me it makes sense. Aaron Rodgers on the Rams next year.

[01:48:47]

What happened to Matt Safford?

[01:48:48]

Jets.

[01:48:49]

Matt Safford might. He might retire.

[01:48:51]

Okay. I don't hate it.

[01:48:53]

I feel like he would want to play for McVeigh, and I feel like McVeigh would look at him, be like, I've done it before.

[01:48:58]

People are saying, aaron Rodgers, Titans.

[01:49:00]

Aaron Rodgers, Titans.

[01:49:01]

Another house in Nashville. That does feel like he would be. That kind of fits his vibe.

[01:49:07]

Yeah.

[01:49:08]

Like you do some. Yeah, he feels like Nashville.

[01:49:11]

Well, think about it. So he got close to Woody Johnson because of the vaccine.

[01:49:15]

Right.

[01:49:16]

To try to bring down the jets from the inside. He might make his next mission to destroy the entire state of California.

[01:49:21]

Ooh, that's true.

[01:49:23]

Yeah, that's true.

[01:49:25]

As for the Seahawks, they are in the lead for the NSC West. And I'm starting to believe.

[01:49:31]

Yeah, again, I can't figure the Seahawks out at all.

[01:49:34]

Their goal line offense is so frustrating.

[01:49:37]

It's not even week to week.

[01:49:39]

It's.

[01:49:39]

It's quarter to quarter.

[01:49:40]

Yeah. Yeah. No, this was a. The beginning of this game was just a comedy of errors for the Seahawks and I don't know what, but I think they probably got to get Leviscus Chanel not returning kicks anymore because that. The f. The second fumble where he almost fumbled and then fell down and then just threw the ball. Yeah, they, they, they are hard to figure out and they had like that, that goal lines offensive set where it felt like they ran 100 plays and they ended up on like the 20 yard line.

[01:50:09]

Yeah. So what's the Seahawks schedule here?

[01:50:11]

I think they still have a lot of NFC west, right. I think they have to play the Rams and Cardinals again at least. So that should be. They should duke it out, figure this whole thing out on the field.

[01:50:23]

I got about 2 and 3. 2 and 3, 2 and 3 in their next five.

[01:50:26]

Oh, no. So that's probably not going to the playoffs, right?

[01:50:30]

I don't know.

[01:50:31]

Two and three in their next five is going to be tough.

[01:50:33]

Their two wins are against the Cardinals and the Rams.

[01:50:35]

Oh, no. They're going to beat the Bears. I don't know why you would say that as a loss. Oh, they do have a tough, tough schedule though. They needed this game today. That was a huge win.

[01:50:44]

Yeah.

[01:50:44]

Yeah. Packers, Vikings, both at home. And Cardinals, Rams and Bears. They should probably beat the Bears. Although that might be of the Bears last win or next win? Next and last win. Yeah, both combo win. All right, so memes, what are we looking at? Tankathon.

[01:51:02]

Yeah, first round pick. I mean first overall pick.

[01:51:05]

You're. You think you can get the first overall pick?

[01:51:08]

We are the anti Chiefs and manage to lose every single game. Doesn't matter how. We just figure out a way.

[01:51:16]

Yeah, you have three wins. Yeah, you're. You're. You're not getting the first pick, buddy.

[01:51:20]

Why not?

[01:51:21]

Because the Giants, Raiders and Jacks in the Jaguars one Of those teams not winning another game.

[01:51:26]

Maybe the Giants.

[01:51:28]

You're not getting the first pick. Are you taking a quarterback?

[01:51:32]

There are no quarterbacks.

[01:51:33]

What do you mean? Shador?

[01:51:35]

No.

[01:51:35]

Cam Ward?

[01:51:36]

No.

[01:51:37]

Carson. Beck.

[01:51:39]

Gartner.

[01:51:40]

Oh, I found this. Georgia. You don't want that. Memes.

[01:51:47]

If you look at all big arm, kind of stupid. There's one of those in the AFC east right now.

[01:51:57]

Oh, stop it. Stop it. Don't do that.

[01:52:00]

Who are you talking about?

[01:52:01]

Josh Allen.

[01:52:02]

Carson Peck.

[01:52:03]

Is Josh Allen saying.

[01:52:05]

Not. Not the athleticism of Josh Allen, but those.

[01:52:09]

Wait, but stupid. Josh Allen's not stupid.

[01:52:12]

There used to be a meme that it was just like if Josh Allen was a stupid, and it would just be like highlights of Tom Brady.

[01:52:18]

Josh Allen's not stupid, though. He's actually.

[01:52:20]

You guys go full Josh Allen.

[01:52:22]

Yeah.

[01:52:22]

He goes crazy.

[01:52:23]

He goes crazy. Totally different.

[01:52:26]

That's not stupid.

[01:52:27]

No, crazy is. Crazy rocks.

[01:52:31]

Crazy Josh is.

[01:52:32]

Yeah, yeah.

[01:52:33]

When he goes full Josh Allen, he's like, I'm Josh Allen. I can do anything.

[01:52:36]

Yeah.

[01:52:37]

It's not really stupid. It's just, like, too much confidence.

[01:52:40]

You ever date a stupid chick? You ever date a crazy chick?

[01:52:44]

Yes.

[01:52:45]

Crazy chicks.

[01:52:47]

It's called the Jets. It's a crazy chick every fall. Oh, memes. Yeah.

[01:52:54]

Carson, Beck. I could also get behind Jalen Milro.

[01:52:57]

Okay. But no. What? No, no.

[01:53:00]

He's so fast.

[01:53:01]

Wait, what? He's.

[01:53:01]

Yes, he's fat. He is fast. No memes is right. No memes is right.

[01:53:05]

There are moments where if we had a mobile quarterback this year.

[01:53:09]

Wow. No.

[01:53:10]

Means hanging from the season.

[01:53:13]

I will not let you draft Jalen Milroe. You cannot do that. Not first round.

[01:53:16]

Not first round.

[01:53:17]

I know, but still.

[01:53:18]

Bloodman wants a nuss. Meyer.

[01:53:20]

Oh, yeah. He's saucy for nussy.

[01:53:22]

Yep.

[01:54:58]

Afternoon games. Bucks 26, Panthers 23 PFT I have a question for you.

[01:55:04]

Okay. Yes.

[01:55:06]

What happened in those three weeks that Bryce Young got benched?

[01:55:10]

He became him.

[01:55:11]

It's crazy and I know they lost this game, but it wasn't his fault because he had a touchdown drive with 30 seconds left. He had a basically a field goal drive in overtime to win the game. If it wasn't for a Hubbard fumble, which was an incredible strip sack, by the way, by Anthony Nelson. But Bryce Young is a different dude.

[01:55:32]

Dude, he looks good. Bryce Young looks very, very good. He looks comfortable. I think it was like getting benched and then all the trade talk and things like that that he realized, oh, I'm gonna have to move. And then he got a chance to play again. He was like, I don't want to pack up all my. This is. I'm playing now not just for micro. I'm playing so that I don't have to move again.

[01:55:51]

Yeah. And I mean, the Panthers, they lost this game again. It was no, I'm going to count.

[01:55:56]

This as a win for the Panthers.

[01:55:57]

Yeah, like it's not going to count.

[01:55:58]

In the official standings, but this is as good as a win for the Panthers.

[01:56:02]

But they've officially, I mean, my power rankings last week had them graduated officially from ass, which they've been in ass for I don't know, like 30 consecutive weeks. They are a spoiler frisky team that. Oh man, are they building something for next year where hey, we have Bryce Young. He's not so bad. We could maybe use our first round draft pick and get him a really good receiver or an offensive lineman or someone on defense like they the Panthers. It's crazy how different the outlook looks for the Panthers if Bryce Young is a decent quarterback.

[01:56:37]

Yeah, maybe it was. Maybe they had him playing scout team safety as the backup quarterback.

[01:56:41]

Yeah.

[01:56:42]

He got to see the offense from a different perspective. It unlocks something and now he's good. All of a sudden this game probably turned out as good as it could for the Panthers because you don't win the game, you don't screw up your draft pick. Bryce Young plays well. He leads you on a game tying drive.

[01:56:57]

Yep.

[01:56:58]

And he doesn't fuck up in overtime. He led you on a game winning drive in overtime.

[01:57:01]

Yeah.

[01:57:01]

And then somebody else. Was it Chuba Hubbard?

[01:57:03]

That's. Yeah.

[01:57:04]

So he didn't screw up the game in overtime. That was running back who you already trust and believe in. And it's not like you're going to look at Hubbard and be like, oh fuck this guy from now on. No, you still like that guy. So it all actually comes out to just as good as a win. Pretty much. For the Panthers.

[01:57:18]

Yeah. And the Bucks, they needed this game because you have the Falcons losing and now the Bucks are tied for the NFC South. They. They lose the tiebreaker obviously to the Falcons because they lost twice to them. But. But the Bucks are very much in the thick of it. Could not lose this game. Baker was not great today, but they were like, hey, we're just going to run Bucky Irving down your throat and it worked. And shout out Todd Bowles because I think he is one of the more conservative, meek coaches when it comes to in game decisions and risk taking. I liked that he tried to get that extra five yards with six seconds left and they ran that like getting the ball back with 30 seconds. They ran those 30 seconds perfectly to get into field goal range to get it into overtime. Because if they had lost this game, I know their season wouldn't be over. But it would have felt over because it was like you just had everything fall in your lap. The Falcons lose. They're. They're absolutely skidding. You can now take the NFC South. You could even maybe sneak into the playoffs another way.

[01:58:24]

Although the commanders do have 87% chance.

[01:58:27]

But I believe it's 85.

[01:58:29]

85. The bucks are, like, back. They had a, like, I think the Bucks are a very good team that had a really, really tough stretch of schedule that fucked them up.

[01:58:40]

Well, it coincided with their worst injuries.

[01:58:42]

Yeah.

[01:58:42]

Their worst injuries at the same time as the worst part of the schedule.

[01:58:44]

But. But now they have, you know, the only game that is against a team over. 500 left is the Charger. So they have five games left. They could, let's even say they go 4 and 1. That's a 10 and 7 record. That should potentially win them the south and if not, could potentially get them into the playoffs.

[01:59:05]

They could. Yeah, they could. The. The Bucks. You don't want to play them in the playoffs and all. Honestly, I feel happy for. For Panthers fans because you get to enjoy watching football again on Sundays.

[01:59:15]

Yeah.

[01:59:15]

Without feeling like a complete degenerate of, like, just making an appointment for your own torture and then just scheduling out the rest of your day. You're going to feel like shit because you saw a miserable product. But as for the Bucks, I feel like you might be very frustrated at the end of the season. Looking back, being like we were a much better team than our record says that they were. And they probably were. I think no matter what happens, I feel like the Bucks, by the way, that the injuries happened to them, and even through the injuries, they kept playing well.

[01:59:41]

Yeah.

[01:59:42]

But if it weren't for those, then you can definitely point back and say, we should have won this division. If they don't.

[01:59:46]

Yeah, the Falcons overtime loss was the one that they'll look back and be like, how did that happen? Because that game could end up deciding everything. But I. I'm a believer in the Bucks. I'm a believer in Baker Mayfield. I think this team is. Is poised to go on a run to get into the playoffs. And they. This was the game, though. Like, if they had lost this game, it would have been disastrous for them. It. It wouldn't have been disastrous in, like, they still would have been very much alive. It was. Felt disastrous because that's a game that you got to win and they have the Raiders coming up, and you got to win that one, too. And then you're going to be looking around being like, hey, we're. We're okay. Like, we might actually win this NFC south. Because I believe the Falcons have a tougher schedule because the Falcons play the Vikings next.

[02:00:29]

It's pretty much a coin flip between the Falcons and the Bucks to win that division right now. And then I'd say a Pretty, pretty high likelihood that second place in the NFC south is going to get in over an NFC west team.

[02:00:41]

Wait, no. Pfd. If the Falcons get in, you're out. There is no nfc. The. You're the, you're the team. How.

[02:00:51]

How do you figure?

[02:00:52]

You're this. You're the 17 chance.

[02:00:56]

I forgot.

[02:00:56]

I forgot.

[02:00:57]

I forgot about the Vikings and the Packers.

[02:00:59]

Yeah. Yeah. You can't have an nfc, you can't have a second NFC west or a second NFC south team. Okay, go on a run.

[02:01:06]

So right now the bucks are at 50. 49%. I'm telling, listen, I'm looking at the spreadsheet right now. It says 85%. Is the new York Times lying to me?

[02:01:17]

The playoffs.

[02:01:17]

The needle lying.

[02:01:18]

The playoffs are.

[02:01:19]

That's your source.

[02:01:20]

The playoffs are set as set could be in the NFC if you're a commander's fan. It's, it's just the Vikings, packers and Lions are all in and the Eagles. And then you just have to have it be a one bid league between the NFC west and the NFC South. That's it.

[02:01:36]

Okay.

[02:01:36]

If that happens, you're in.

[02:01:38]

I'll be.

[02:01:38]

If it doesn't, I'll be fully.

[02:01:39]

I'll be fully transparent. I went to NFL.com I went to ESPN and I went to the New York Times Athletic. They all have calculators. I chose to stay on the one that had myself at the highest percentage.

[02:01:52]

Got it.

[02:01:52]

85.

[02:01:53]

Got it. Yeah. No, you, you're going to actually have a very big Week 17 game against, against the Falcons.

[02:02:00]

Against Falcons.

[02:02:01]

That could be a shifter of everything.

[02:02:05]

I, if it were up to me and I got to decide the Falcons or the Bucks. Get it. I would want the Bucks. I want to, I want to watch more Bucks football.

[02:02:11]

Yes.

[02:02:12]

Then I want to watch Falcons.

[02:02:13]

Yeah.

[02:02:14]

You just said both.

[02:02:15]

Yeah. Why not both?

[02:02:16]

Why not both?

[02:02:17]

Why not both?

[02:02:18]

Do you want to just invite both?

[02:02:19]

No, I don't want to. I, No. I, I think they're both very.

[02:02:22]

I like the Seahawks and the Rams. You want to invite both them?

[02:02:24]

No, I hate them. Them.

[02:02:27]

It's like, it's our previous conversation is like 85%. Then you realize those three teams. Yeah, it's the Bucks, the Cardinals, the Rams all sitting there being like, hey, we want in.

[02:02:38]

Well, here's where I don't get it.

[02:02:39]

The only way they get in is if you get out.

[02:02:41]

85% for the commanders and then the bucks. 49%.

[02:02:46]

But that's because of the division.

[02:02:47]

Then. Yeah, I know. Then the Cardinals and The Rams both 35, 27% right.

[02:02:53]

Because of the division.

[02:02:54]

Because of the division.

[02:02:58]

Right now to get in is the division.

[02:03:00]

Singular. Focus. Get into the playoffs again next week.

[02:03:03]

You just need the Bucks, the Cardinals and Rams to somehow all lose. I don't know who the Cardinals and Rams play. They play each other. That would be good. Well, that'd be good and bad.

[02:03:13]

Ty.

[02:03:13]

That's a tie would probably some up. I would break your brain even more.

[02:03:18]

I was rooting hard for a tie in the. In the Buck Panthers game.

[02:03:21]

It would have been a fire tie.

[02:03:22]

I like to have one tie per year at least just to have that little dash one at the end to everything up with the schedules. Yeah, it looks nice. And then you can just revert back to like the 16 game schedule mindset where you're like oh, they're gonna finish 8 and 8 and 1.

[02:03:36]

My brain still kind of up every now with the 16, 17 game. I know that's stupid to say Cardinals play the Seahawks and the Bills play the ramp. The Rams play the Bills so you could get double losses there.

[02:03:48]

Let's go double loss.

[02:03:49]

The Bucks play the Raiders though, so that's probably not going to be a loss.

[02:03:52]

That's okay.

[02:03:52]

But the Falcons play the Vikings so that could be a loss.

[02:03:55]

That's good.

[02:03:55]

Yeah. The disaster next week is if the Falcons. If somehow the Falcons, Bucks, Cardinals and Rams all won. You know what you should do is you should parlay all four of them.

[02:04:07]

It's going to work out just as.

[02:04:08]

Like a, like anti.

[02:04:11]

Don't lose the bye week parlay.

[02:04:13]

Yeah, don't lose the bye week parlay. Just bet all four of those teams to win. So if you somehow. If they somehow. Do you at least want a huge bet?

[02:04:22]

Listen, we control our own destiny.

[02:04:24]

You do probably control your own destiny. Yes.

[02:04:28]

That's all you can ask for this time of year.

[02:04:29]

Yeah. You control your own destiny. Don't lose the game that you shouldn't. Don't lose a game you're not supposed to lose.

[02:04:36]

I don't plan on it.

[02:04:37]

That's really what it comes down to because aren't you. Aren't your games. Besides the Eagles pretty easy.

[02:04:42]

Saints win, Falcons win. Thank you, Hank. Yeah.

[02:04:47]

That's a toss up.

[02:04:48]

Cowboys win.

[02:04:50]

Whoa. Yeah.

[02:04:51]

You can't say that. You can't say anymore.

[02:04:52]

Revenge. Just don't lose the game you're supposed to win.

[02:04:55]

I won't.

[02:04:56]

Yeah. Actually you know what you should do is you. You get the Saints era must win. You have to win that Game. If you beat the Saints, I think you'll be good. The Saints are a must win.

[02:05:04]

The Saints must win.

[02:05:05]

Yeah. Because if you lose the Saints game, you're in deep. Doo doo.

[02:05:08]

Yeah. Then we got to beat the Eagles.

[02:05:09]

Yeah. Right.

[02:05:11]

Yep.

[02:05:11]

Yeah. Saints are a must win. Must win next week or two weeks from now. But, yeah, the Bucks, I agree with you. I'd like the Bucks to be in the playoffs. They're fun. They'll cause some havoc. Also, the Bucks, if you go off the BCS model, the Bucks do have two very good wins because they beat the Lions and the Eagles.

[02:05:29]

Yeah.

[02:05:30]

So they have two of the most impressive wins in the entire season.

[02:05:35]

Yeah. I mean, they're a very good team when they play well. I also like rooting for Bucky. He's. He's fun to cheer on.

[02:05:40]

Bucky Irving. It's fun. Okay. Also, Stephen Che being disavowed by the Bucks was great, although he had the ultimate Stephen Che spin zone. He's like, if I'm no longer a Bucks fan, then that means I'm eligible for the ring of honor, so. And he actually meant that.

[02:05:56]

But also, the person that would put him in the ring of honor is a person who disavowed him for being a box fan.

[02:06:00]

Yes. Okay. Rams 21, Saints 14. I feel like this was the end of Rizzi Ball. We had the first half where the Saints defense was flying around. The Rams couldn't do anything. It was actually the first time that Sean McVeigh has been shut out in a first half in his career. And then Matthew Safford woke up, and so did Kyron Williams, and he started throwing darts everywhere. And Rizzi Ball is maybe dead.

[02:06:25]

I feel like as Taysom Hill goes, so goes Rizzy Ball.

[02:06:27]

Yeah.

[02:06:28]

So he got hurt. He got carted off. Hope he's okay. But that's really. Rizzy was leaning heavily into just using Taysom all the time.

[02:06:36]

Yeah.

[02:06:37]

And. Yeah, you're not going to be able to do that now. And I feel like the Saints are the Saints without Taysom Hill and Rizzi as the coach, to me, are the exact same team as the Saints with Taysom Hill and Dennis Allen as a coach.

[02:06:49]

Yes. I'd agree with you.

[02:06:50]

It's kind of not fun and boring.

[02:06:51]

Also, Florida State has one victory this year. Jared Verse should win defensive rookie of the year. He's a beast. And he ended this game. No. Oh. Oh. Cooper Degene.

[02:07:02]

Quinnian Mitchell.

[02:07:03]

Quinn Mitchell. Yeah, that's true. And Cooper. But they'll. They'll split Votes. They will probably split votes. But the Rams are back alive. Yeah. Very much. They needed this win badly.

[02:07:13]

Very.

[02:07:13]

And it looked in the first half like they weren't going to get it.

[02:07:16]

And I have no idea what's going to happen in that division. It's just a log jam.

[02:07:20]

Will you. What. What about the Seahawks and Rams?

[02:07:23]

Yeah. You could get two teams in. You could squeak two teams in. It's a possibility. Everyone would hate it if that happen happened.

[02:07:30]

Could be two teams from that division.

[02:07:32]

This is boy math. And I'm failing at it right now.

[02:07:34]

It will, actually. I feel like the NFC west is going to weirdly be decided by how much fight the 49ers have left.

[02:07:44]

Yeah.

[02:07:44]

Because if the 49ers. The 49ers already played the Seahawks twice. If they. If they kind of quit, they have the Rams and Cardinals left. That could help the Rams and card Cardinals.

[02:07:55]

I'm just looking at, like, if you were in a bad situation, like you were running from the cops and you and your buddies had one coach from the NF or from the NFC west, that had to help you get out of the jam, who would that be? And that would probably be Sean McVeigh.

[02:08:10]

Yeah. Although I feel like. I feel like Jonathan Gannon would do something weird.

[02:08:14]

He's got some connects in the underground. Yeah.

[02:08:16]

I feel like Jonathan Gannon would come up with a plan that would work like 1 out of 100 times, but when it works, it would be incredible.

[02:08:22]

Sean McVeigh would be kind of like a better Call Saul. Like a shady ass lawyer.

[02:08:26]

Yeah.

[02:08:26]

That could get you off on a technicality.

[02:08:28]

Jonathan Gannon would be like, hey, let's just hide, like, under this inflatable pool.

[02:08:32]

Yeah.

[02:08:33]

And. Or like, let's hide in this trash can. And it would work one out of 100 times, and then all the other 99 times they'd have the dogs and they would get you.

[02:08:40]

Kyle Shanahan would be like, let's call my dad.

[02:08:42]

Yeah.

[02:08:43]

He'll get us out of this.

[02:08:44]

Kyle Shanahan would just choke.

[02:08:45]

Not actually. Yeah, Not a bad strategy. Just, like, get your dad on the case. But this is. It's a up division.

[02:08:52]

Oh, weird. Jared versus actually the odds on favorite.

[02:08:56]

Oh, yeah. He's minus 110.

[02:08:59]

Oh, okay. So it wasn't crazy for me to say that.

[02:09:02]

I mean, you said he's the rookie of the year.

[02:09:04]

I said he might win. Rookie. No, he's.

[02:09:06]

You said he is the defensive rookie.

[02:09:08]

Okay. All right, so you know what? I'll say that he is the defensive rookie of the year.

[02:09:12]

All right, we'll see.

[02:09:13]

We will see. That's why they play the games.

[02:09:16]

That's why they play the game.

[02:09:17]

That's why they play the games. Buddy. Cooper Jean is going to get split votes. That's your problem. People are going to want to vote for Cooper. Yeah, I. The Rams are another team where it'd be fun to see them in just because Matthew Stafford. Anything is possible with Matthew Stafford.

[02:09:33]

One last ride.

[02:09:34]

It's basically when he just turns it on. He's like, the first half was so bad for the Rams, and then he's like, yeah, you know what? I'm Matthew Stafford. Let me do this play action and let me hit everyone.

[02:09:44]

Oh, yeah. I have Cooper cup and I have Puka Nakua.

[02:09:47]

Demarcus Robinson was getting big passes down the field. All right, I think that's all the games, right?

[02:09:54]

I think that's it.

[02:09:55]

Yep.

[02:09:55]

All right. So who's back of the week?

[02:09:57]

Who's back in the week?

[02:09:59]

It's fine. There's not much to say.

[02:10:01]

Oh, okay. Let's do it.

[02:10:02]

Eagles are really.

[02:10:03]

All right, let's do it. Bill's 35, Niners 10. All right, Max. Eagles 24, Ravens 19. I think the Eagles might be for.

[02:10:14]

Real if they beat the Panthers.

[02:10:18]

Well, they. I mean, they only beat the Ravens by five. Yeah, it was a close game. Max was so mad at the end. He's like, I want. I don't want them to score. So people would think it was close.

[02:10:27]

Yeah, you want to be double digits.

[02:10:28]

You wanted the. You wanted the casuals, the box score watchers to be like, hey, yeah, we beat him 24:12. People who read the newspaper for their. For their scores, instead they see 24:19. They're like, ooh, tight one.

[02:10:42]

Wasn't a tight one.

[02:10:43]

No, it wasn't. The Eagles are awesome. Saquon Barkley is incredible. Tell us everything, Max.

[02:10:49]

I mean, there's not really much to say. The Eagles are what they are. They start off slow, and then by the end of it, the defenses just get worn down by Saquon and he just goes off in the third and fourth quarter.

[02:11:01]

Yeah.

[02:11:01]

So it's just like their defense is elite. The defense is incredible. Real. I wish I could. I wish I could say that they held on the 12 points. Yeah, like 12 sounds so much better.

[02:11:14]

12 is bet. And Justin Tucker, though, he's. He's washed. He actually sucks. You actually need to cut him, I think if you.

[02:11:21]

So Harbaugh said that he wasn't going to Do. He wasn't going to like kick him out. Now what Justin Tucker should have done is like 4 weeks ago faked an injury.

[02:11:29]

Yeah.

[02:11:30]

You can't, you can't get cut. You're gonna make, you're gonna make John Harbaugh cut you. He doesn't want to have to cut you. This is an old yeller situation.

[02:11:37]

Yes.

[02:11:38]

Where he will shoot you in the head behind the shed if you let this drag out far enough. And just don't make him do that. He doesn't want to do that.

[02:11:45]

No, you don't want that. But it's bad because everyone knows it's an issue. And Ravens are gonna hopefully be playing in big time playoff games and it's an issue. Issue. It went from a sure thing. This is our secret weapon, to a very big issue.

[02:11:59]

Just make up an injury for yourself. Yeah, you get a bad groin, it's.

[02:12:04]

It's bad. It's an issue. It's an issue.

[02:12:06]

Yeah, it's really. So right now he's. This year he's kicking at 73% which is 36th in the NFL. So he's worse than every starting kicker in the NFL and then what, five backups worse than those guys.

[02:12:22]

That's really bad.

[02:12:23]

It's bad. That's really important. Today it is going to be. It's going to be a problem for him in the playoffs.

[02:12:28]

Yeah, it's going to be a very big problem. Do we want to do narratives on mvp? Lamar lost it today. Saquon and Josh Allen, two man race.

[02:12:37]

I don't want to say.

[02:12:38]

I don't. I mean, I just like to just be knee jerk. I mean, I don't think he actually lost it because he could, he could probably depending on if he has prime time games. Whichever. That's really what it comes down to. You just have to be a one or two seed and have enough prime time games at the end to have everyone be like, oh, he's the best.

[02:12:54]

Yeah, even, even a great Thursday night game would help at this point. As, as somebody that has a future on Lamar Jackson win mvp. I don't want to say it's a two horse race just yet, but I will say it's not looking good.

[02:13:06]

No. No, it's not looking good. No, because. Not because Lamar is playing bad. It's that Josh and Saquon are playing incredible. Saquon had another 100, 100 plus yards. Is he, is he, is he on 2K watch? Oh, yeah. Big time, big time.

[02:13:23]

2K watch.

[02:13:24]

What is he at right now? Are you gonna make a shirt for 2K?

[02:13:28]

Sure.

[02:13:29]

Yeah. You might as well. I got. I had a real great glimpse of Eagles fandom just a minute ago before we walked in here. So our president, Pug. President Pug, is an Eagles fan as well, and Max and Pug were having a disagreement. Pug was saying that he wasn't satisfied with the win because the Eagles didn't score in the first and third quarter.

[02:13:51]

That's good. That's a winning mentality.

[02:13:53]

He's like, I would have liked to see the first and third quarter have more points.

[02:13:56]

Your first quarter sucked, Max.

[02:13:59]

Our first quarters suck all year.

[02:14:00]

You got to figure that out.

[02:14:01]

Yeah. Oh, he's at 1500 yards right now. And how many games do you have left? Have you guys had your buy?

[02:14:07]

Yes. I think we have five games left. Yeah, five games.

[02:14:10]

So he's gonna get it.

[02:14:13]

He's average 100. 100 yards a game.

[02:14:15]

Yeah. Hundred yards a game is not a problem for Saquon. That's not a problem. Who do you guys have an easy schedule? Oh, you play the Dealers?

[02:14:25]

Dealers and Commanders are tough.

[02:14:27]

Oh, you're putting.

[02:14:28]

Okay, tough. I like that. Appreciate it.

[02:14:31]

Yeah. Respect division.

[02:14:33]

Tough.

[02:14:33]

Ish.

[02:14:34]

Giants with no Dexter Lawrence.

[02:14:36]

Yeah.

[02:14:36]

Do you have them Twice. Do you have the Giants twice?

[02:14:39]

No, we go Panthers.

[02:14:41]

Oh, 100. Steelers, 75.

[02:14:45]

Commanders 100.

[02:14:48]

Cowboys, Giants, 150. Yeah, 150. That's it. He did it. Congrats to Saquon Barkley. MVP.

[02:14:57]

MVP.

[02:14:58]

That's incredible.

[02:14:58]

I have his MVP. Five to one.

[02:15:00]

Oh, hell yeah. Yep. Love that for you, Max.

[02:15:02]

Not 20 to one. Like, you know, the other guy that we have.

[02:15:06]

Who's that?

[02:15:07]

The Heisman.

[02:15:08]

Oh, remember? I got confused. I have him 40 to 1.

[02:15:11]

Oh, you said 21. I thought you talked about Lamar, who. I do have 20 to 40, but then you got 20 to 1. Also on. On Travis. I just looked it up.

[02:15:21]

Oh, Travis Hunter. That's right.

[02:15:22]

Travis.

[02:15:23]

Very interesting.

[02:15:24]

We were going to find out about this guy. We got to learn. We got to. We got to learn about him.

[02:15:28]

Who is Travis Hunter?

[02:15:29]

Yeah. Seems like a nice guy. Are the Ravens. They're in trouble now. Not trouble, but it's going to be hard to win the AFC North.

[02:15:38]

Yeah, they're in trouble for. For home field.

[02:15:39]

Right then that AFC north like and. Oh, man, that would be. Imagine if they matched up with the Steelers. I don't think. I think they actually, right now they would. If the playoffs started today, it would be Steelers hosting Ravens.

[02:15:55]

I think we as a country deserve that.

[02:15:57]

Yeah.

[02:15:58]

We deserve to have Raven Steelers in the playoffs.

[02:16:00]

It would be Chargers and Texans, which.

[02:16:02]

Is a winnable game for Saturday game all day.

[02:16:05]

Yeah, that's. That's.

[02:16:07]

Yeah, early Saturday game.

[02:16:08]

Steelers, Ravens. They would maybe do the Monday night game. Yeah, remember we have that Monday night game. You want such a shitty disadvantage.

[02:16:14]

You want to look at the playoff matchups right now and say when they would be played.

[02:16:18]

Yeah, sure.

[02:16:19]

Okay, so we've got.

[02:16:21]

This is fun.

[02:16:22]

The Bills and the Broncos.

[02:16:24]

Bills and Broncos I think would be the Sunday early game. Like the noon kickoff.

[02:16:29]

That might be Saturday night.

[02:16:32]

No, I don't think so. I think, I think the Packers Eagles would be Saturday night.

[02:16:36]

You have that Sunday. That's Sunday like 4:00.

[02:16:41]

Wait, that's a.

[02:16:41]

That's a.

[02:16:42]

No, Commander's Eagles. Commander's Eagles. That would be maybe Saturday night. They would want to put the Eagles on a night they like that. Packers, Seahawks. That would be Sunday afternoon.

[02:16:57]

Falcons, Vikings.

[02:17:01]

Maybe Monday night.

[02:17:02]

Maybe Saturday. Maybe Monday night.

[02:17:04]

Yeah, they probably would sprinkle that in as like a Monday night game.

[02:17:07]

Yeah, Steelers, Ravens would be Saturday night or Monday night. That would be the. Or that would be the night like Sunday.

[02:17:13]

Sunday 1 and 4. Like the NFL's best slots though.

[02:17:18]

No, Sunday night.

[02:17:19]

Night. Night.

[02:17:20]

Night.

[02:17:20]

So you'd have. You definitely have to do Steelers, Ravens. That's a Sunday night game. Yeah, for sure.

[02:17:26]

Steelers, Ravens, Sunday night. This is really stupid. The problem is Chargers.

[02:17:30]

The problem is we've got two candidates for early Saturday games.

[02:17:34]

I'm writing this out.

[02:17:35]

Yeah, we got two candidates for. For early Saturday games. One would be the Vikings at the Falcons, Texans.

[02:17:41]

And then the other into that slot.

[02:17:43]

Chargers to Texans is the first game.

[02:17:46]

Okay, that's game one, Saturday night one.

[02:17:49]

I'm just filling in the spots that I know.

[02:17:51]

Okay. No, this is good.

[02:17:53]

Broncos at Bills is the. Is the noon Sunday game. The afternoon game is going to be packers and Eagles or Seahawks. Packers at Seahawks. And then the night Sunday night game is going to be Steelers, Ravens, right?

[02:18:11]

Yep.

[02:18:11]

Then we have Monday night and sun Saturday night to fill in. And I believe Saturday night would be.

[02:18:22]

Pills. Broncos.

[02:18:24]

No, they have that Sunday at noon. No, Saturday night would be Saturday night be Eagles Commanders. Then they would put the Falcons, Vikings, whole Kirk Cousins thing on Monday Night Football.

[02:18:35]

Okay, I feel good about that. That's a hell of a weekend of football.

[02:18:38]

I feel good about that. I'm excited for. Can't wait. It's gonna be so many changes to the seating and everything.

[02:18:46]

No, but, but think about it. That's like, we just planned out a perfect weekend of football with those like. Yes, that makes complete sense. Now I'm kind of attached to that schedule.

[02:18:54]

And it's December. This is when we start thinking about this stuff. This is when you start putting in your head, like, hey, playoff football. There's really those three weeks where you have the whole NFL playoffs. It's the best. Because it's basically the middle of the week. Is just irrelevant in my brain where it's like, just get me to the playoff games. And every playoff game, you just sit there and soak it in. Ah, love it. Love it. And it's all the roads. New Orleans, Max. Have you thought about Max being in New Orleans? Being in New Orleans. Of course. With the Eagles.

[02:19:30]

Of course.

[02:19:30]

I'd be kind of mad at you because that means we'd have to stay longer because you would have to go to the game.

[02:19:39]

I get so drunk that Saturday night.

[02:19:41]

We would need to hire you. Your own big Dom. Like a Big Dom impersonator.

[02:19:46]

No.

[02:19:46]

To follow you around and keep. Try to keep you sober.

[02:19:49]

No, no. He's got to go all out. We got to let him just do whatever he wants.

[02:19:54]

You should hire your own big Dom.

[02:19:55]

Yep.

[02:19:56]

Yeah, no, that's. That's what would really need to happen.

[02:19:58]

Yeah, we.

[02:20:00]

Maybe we should go to the super bowl with him.

[02:20:03]

I don't know. I don't know about that.

[02:20:05]

Never been to a Super Bowl.

[02:20:07]

It's pretty fun.

[02:20:08]

It would be fun to go with Max.

[02:20:11]

Me and Rowan. Well, Rowan have to go, too.

[02:20:13]

Yeah. Rome will come. Rome be invited for sure.

[02:20:16]

Run it back.

[02:20:17]

Yeah, run it back.

[02:20:18]

I would not. I would not be able to cheer on the Eagles in the Super Bowl. I did it last time because of the future.

[02:20:23]

Oh, Bills. Yeah. Well, we. If the Bills went, we'd have to go because we probably get to go into the locker room.

[02:20:29]

Yeah, I. Dude, I would be sitting next to Ed and Alicia.

[02:20:32]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. We invest all week. We should talk Bills, Niners. Bills are awesome. 35, 10. They won. Niners are broken. Christian McCaffrey. The walls are back.

[02:20:43]

PCL is what they said.

[02:20:44]

Bonus snow game, too. I feel like you only usually get one a year.

[02:20:47]

Yeah, that was an awesome. I mean, the Bills are just built for the snow. It's like the running game. Josh just being able to throw. By the way, congrats to Josh. Getting engaged. Then scores two touchdowns. Has a throwing. He had. He had a passing touchdown, a receiving touchdown, and a rushing touchdown. And his receiving touchdown was passed by himself.

[02:21:07]

Getting engaged Loving it in the snow. This is a guy that does not need dome.

[02:21:12]

No, there it is.

[02:21:15]

Christian McCaffrey's calf exploded.

[02:21:17]

Yeah.

[02:21:17]

I think it was PCL.

[02:21:19]

Yeah. But it looked like his calf exploded. The Niners are season from hell. It's season from hell.

[02:21:25]

This is one of those games where the snow affected one team way, way, way worse than the other.

[02:21:30]

Yes.

[02:21:30]

Like, the 49ers looked like they couldn't walk out there.

[02:21:32]

Yes.

[02:21:33]

And the Bills were just doing whatever they wanted. Wanted.

[02:21:35]

Did Matt Milano play in this game? I actually. Doing work during it.

[02:21:39]

I actually don't know.

[02:21:40]

But he's back. He's gonna be back. Like the Bills, man.

[02:21:44]

They. They made a comment. I don't know if it's because they're just building like Green Bay has with a heated. Heated turf, but they mentioned, like, they were talking to Josh and how.

[02:21:52]

Yeah. Matt Milano was in the game. He played. Yeah.

[02:21:55]

When they're in the new stadium, the weather might not matter as much.

[02:21:59]

That's something that you say when you're building a new stadium.

[02:22:01]

Yeah.

[02:22:01]

Like, the stadium's right next to the.

[02:22:03]

It's you. The pit is right next to it.

[02:22:07]

The. Whoever was calling, we were talking to Josh before the game, and I was asking him, you know, the weather when you're in the new stadium won't be as much of a factor. You're going to miss this place. And he was just like, no.

[02:22:17]

Are they saying that they're going to leave the old stadium up so it's going to shield the new stadium from the wind?

[02:22:22]

I don't know.

[02:22:22]

Or.

[02:22:23]

I think. I think I know what it is. Heated field that, like, can melt snow.

[02:22:28]

No, it also is. It's also. There's, like. It. It's. It's not root. It's not a roof, but it's like a partial roof. So it probably is not going to be as windy, I would imagine. Like, if you look at it, it looks like half the. Yeah. Half of the stands have a roof over it.

[02:22:45]

Oh, yeah. So definitely on the lakeside.

[02:22:47]

It definitely won't be as windy as the old stadium.

[02:22:50]

They should just keep building new stadiums just in between all their old stadiums until it's 100 insulated from the weapon.

[02:22:56]

You ever seen that picture where they're. I think it was four. I think there was four. All four of the Milwaukee Bucks where they played were all, like, up at one point.

[02:23:08]

What do you mean?

[02:23:09]

Like, the Bucks played. Can you look this up? The Milwaukee Bucks, all for their stadium. So they built their new stadium before they demolished the old one. And then the. The one they played in, like, 50 years ago was like, an auditorium that was across the street. So it was like all of their history was all within, like, one block.

[02:23:25]

That's pretty cool.

[02:23:26]

It was pretty cool. It's a cool picture. I don't. I don't know if you can find it. You didn't really. What did you search? Just Buck Stadium.

[02:23:31]

Buck Stadium. History.

[02:23:33]

No, all four.

[02:23:34]

Pug was so good at this.

[02:23:35]

Maybe you Pug.

[02:23:36]

This is an impossible.

[02:23:39]

All right, let's see if I can.

[02:23:40]

Accomplish no less than five days ago.

[02:23:44]

Stadiums in one picture. Milwaukee. Maybe it was three. It might have been three. I don't know. I saw it once, and it was cool.

[02:23:57]

Here.

[02:23:58]

Oh, yeah.

[02:23:59]

Yeah. There it is.

[02:24:00]

Three NBA arenas all in a row.

[02:24:02]

Yeah, that's pretty cool. And I think the fourth was, like, an auditorium across the street. It's pretty cool. I like that.

[02:24:08]

It's like the evolution poster.

[02:24:09]

Yeah. Isn't that cool? I'm happy that we stopped for that.

[02:24:13]

Good job, Max, for finding that.

[02:24:15]

Yeah, good job, Max, for finding that. Rollback question before we do. Who's back? Rho, B, A, C, K.com promo code, take 20% your first purchase. Q, zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts.

Super bowl matchup. When we. We're. We're week 13. We haven't. I don't know if our predictions. What our preseason predictions were. Remember when Max picked the. Or, no, he made fun of me for picking Vikings over or. No, you picked Vikings under.

[02:24:54]

And I know you made fun of me for picking Vikings under.

[02:24:57]

Yeah. And I was. I'm so waiting for my apology.

[02:25:02]

Take it.

[02:25:03]

I'm still waiting for my apology. I did not. We're in California for grit week, dude. Memes.

[02:25:12]

I'm gonna go Ravens. Vikings.

[02:25:14]

Oh, I thought it was. Yes. He should have gone. Jeff said, that is gross. Gross purple.

[02:25:18]

That's a.

[02:25:19]

Why would you do that?

[02:25:20]

Ugly Super Bowl.

[02:25:21]

Why would you. That was a vibe killer.

[02:25:23]

Darnold. He's Arnold guy now.

[02:25:25]

All right, Hank.

[02:25:28]

Vibe booster.

[02:25:30]

Yes.

[02:25:31]

Lions. Bills.

[02:25:32]

Yes. That's mine.

[02:25:33]

Yep, that's mine.

[02:25:33]

Bill's Lions.

[02:25:34]

You got. You got to just think about what, Like, I am a neutral party in New Orleans, and what do I want to see?

[02:25:40]

Yes.

[02:25:41]

And it's Bills and Lions fans just taking over Bourbon Street.

[02:25:46]

Sneaky backup to Bill's Lions. In terms of fan bases, Lions, Steelers, Steelers Fans in New Orleans would be all time as well.

[02:25:55]

That'd be something. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Bill's lines. Okay, that's it. Maybe Chargers lines. Oh, Chargers. Real good.

[02:26:02]

Hank would be Arthur meme.

[02:26:05]

I'm gonna go with best thing for barstool. Eagle, Steelers.

[02:26:09]

Oh, Steelers.

[02:26:11]

Wow. Then I would. We would have to go to the game. No, actually, no. We'd be streaming. Yeah, we would stream back here. That would actually be great, because then we come back.

[02:26:19]

I mean, if it's Bill's lines, I think everybody sappy.

[02:26:22]

You're not gonna let Jerry go to the game.

[02:26:26]

That's like a once in a lifetime stream.

[02:26:28]

Eagle, Steelers would be Eagles.

[02:26:30]

Steelers put Gruden right in between the two of them.

[02:26:32]

I think Jerry would quit.

[02:26:33]

I don't think he has an option.

[02:26:35]

I think he quit. I think he'd be like, I'm gonna go work for Mr. Beast.

[02:26:38]

No, he could. He could go to the. The. The parade. I don't know. The Super Bowl's also like. The Super Bowl's also like, I. Dave's.

[02:26:46]

Gone to all the Super Bowl.

[02:26:47]

Yeah, that's true.

[02:26:48]

Super Bowl.

[02:26:48]

Max, would you. I mean, did you like going, like, would you rather watch it on tv?

[02:26:53]

No.

[02:26:54]

No.

[02:26:55]

Max, quick question.

[02:26:56]

Would you like to go to the Super Bowl?

[02:26:58]

Yeah.

[02:26:59]

Yeah. That is crazy. I don't know. For a loss.

[02:27:02]

The loss sucks, but, like, I need to. I need to be there for a win.

[02:27:06]

Yeah, that's true.

[02:27:06]

Like, you get, like, hanging brags about the. How many after parties he's been for the after party.

[02:27:13]

Greatest nights of my life. All right, so the Celtics parade.

[02:27:16]

Yeah. Jerry would. I think we'd have to like, Hannibal Lecter put him in, like, a mask and like a gurney thing.

[02:27:22]

No, we stream in New Orleans.

[02:27:25]

Yeah, probably they would have to go to the game.

[02:27:27]

You guys should just go to the game. And I just want to watch them. Like, I'd want to be like 15 rows behind them.

[02:27:32]

We're just saying things.

[02:27:33]

This show.

[02:27:34]

Like, they're fast act. We're just. We're scheduling out the first weekend of the NFL. We're scheduling what we're gonna do if the Eagles. Steelers playing the Super Bowl.

[02:27:42]

Yeah, dude, let's just.

[02:27:43]

Let's just. Let's just go. It's called watch it.

[02:27:45]

[02:27:47]

Let's just watch it. Let's just let it. Let things happen.

[02:27:50]

Oh, man.

[02:27:51]

What's gonna happen.

[02:27:52]

We're definitely gonna come back to. We're streaming here. If it's Vikings, Ravens. Oh, my God.

[02:27:56]

It's gonna be memes.

[02:27:57]

What a dick.

[02:27:58]

It's gonna end up being Chiefs, Packers. And the Chiefs won again.

[02:28:01]

That would. Well, the Chiefs.

[02:28:03]

No, packers would be good because Chiefs would.

[02:28:06]

Chiefs. Winning. Beating the packers would be awesome.

[02:28:08]

I can't Vikings. Ravens is just so.

[02:28:11]

The Ravens.

[02:28:12]

I like. I don't even know what you just did. Memes.

[02:28:15]

The purple Bowl.

[02:28:17]

What does that mean?

[02:28:17]

The purple Bowl? I think the. Oh, can I make a bigger bummer? Oh, yeah. Falcons, Texans. Falcons. Texas would be bummer.

[02:28:29]

The Vikings are actually bummer.

[02:28:30]

I actually think Seahawks. Texans would be worse.

[02:28:33]

Seahawks, Texans.

[02:28:34]

Yeah.

[02:28:35]

This would be just like a. What?

[02:28:38]

Chargers?

[02:28:39]

No, Chargers would be great for you and me, Max.

[02:28:41]

Correct.

[02:28:42]

Ride or die, guys. Ride that thing. He's getting upset just thinking about it.

Oh.

[02:30:00]

Pft. Alluded to it earlier, and I don't know if it was just because I was home in Massachusetts for the weekend and I was hearing the local reports and propaganda, but I'm. I'M seeing some tweets. I'm seeing some reports. I'm seeing, you know, Juan Soto's sisters looking at apartments in Austin.

[02:30:18]

Yeah.

[02:30:19]

The Mick Kirk Minahan guy reported that he's 100, signing with the Red Sox.

[02:30:24]

I saw a picture of Juan Soto at Hertz Rent a car at Logan International Airport. Did you see that one?

[02:30:30]

It's always the real.

[02:30:47]

It's a beautiful city.

[02:30:48]

It's always the real estate. Does this have anything to do with our good friend Jerry Krabus trying to speak into an existence?

[02:30:55]

What did he do?

[02:30:56]

Oh, he's just been tweeting about it. I've just seen him.

[02:30:58]

I've seen.

[02:30:59]

That's. I've definitely been. Been brainwashed, and I definitely, obviously, follow a lot of, you know, Boston bias people and accounts, so that's definitely part of it. But I've. I've just convinced myself. We're getting soda.

[02:31:09]

So UMass and UConn, they play their rivals. Bitter rivals, Hank, you know just as well as anyone, there was a trophy that was made for the rivalry game.

[02:31:59]

And I don't even think kids From Yukon or UMass care about this, by the way, which is the funniest part.

[02:32:04]

So after the game, they did not present the rivalry trophy to Yukon. Is that correct?

[02:32:11]
