NFL Week 12, Fastest 2 Minutes, Chiefs Survive, Cowboys Comeback, Bears 8-3, Jahmyr Gibbs vs Jameis + Who's Back Of The Week

28:07Right at the camera and all his teammates get up right next to him and doing the choreograph with him at the same time. Jameis keeps his receivers happy, too. Yes. In a season like this where nothing's really going well for the New York Giants, to have the team bought in and have fun, that's what you get when you have Jameis Winston on your team. You get a guy that keeps people engaged before the game. We're inside, but we're outside. We're inside, but we're outside. Amen. Jameis said it. And I think this was a very entertaining game. I think the better team ended up winning. How many teams would be better if Jameis Winston was their starting quarterback?

28:44I'm going to list them. I'm going to list the candidates. I'm not going to put in, obviously, ones that have obvious quarterbacks or guys that they drafted high that they're working on, whatever it may be. Dolphins? Yes. Jets? Dude, Tyreek and Jameis? Yes. Yes. Browns? Jury's out on Shador. Browns, yes. I'm going to say yes. Steelers? Yes. That's four. Titans? Well, no, we give Cam Ward a year or two. Raiders? Yes. That's five. Let's see. Cardinals. Giants we have six. Cardinals. Vikings. Definitely yes. Seven. Cardinal. Or no, wait. Hold on. I'm just going in order. Seven. Let's say Saints. We should probably give Tyler Shuck a little.

29:33So Cardinals, that would be eight. Eight teams. Eight teams would be better if James Swinson was their starting quarterback. Falcons. Well, yeah. I don't count it. Well, if you want to say instead of Michael Penix. Yeah. So nine. I think so. Yeah. He's awesome. Yeah, he's great. And he takes shots. He actually pushed half of the time when you have a backup quarterback come in, they just dink and dunk. He pushes the ball downfield. He's fearless. And he had the Lions in absolute hell. The Lions gave up 25 first downs. I mean, I know they're very injured, and the Lions defense is, like, in a tough spot.

30:09They did get two big fourth down stops to end the game. and also when Mike Kafka went for it on fourth and goal on the six-yard line with 259 left, up 27-24, which I know there's some people who probably don't like it. I love that move. Oh, I like it too. Yeah, because, yes, they could go up six, but the Giants have nothing to play for. I think they got eliminated. I think they're officially eliminated. I think they're the first team eliminated from the playoffs today. They have nothing to play for. You're fourth and six. Go for it. Try to beat the Lions in Detroit. Yeah, it didn't work out. But I love the fact that an interim head coach is saying, yeah, we can be honest with the situation here.

30:50It's bad. Might as well try to go win a game. I don't really understand what winning this game. If you kicked that field goal and you would have gone up what? That would have been six or seven? No, they would have gone up six. So they would have had to score a touchdown at that point to win. Let's just say they drive back and they score a touchdown and you lose. How dumb do you feel about kicking that field goal? You feel really dumb. Right. If they don't, you get a win that you're going to forget about in three weeks anyways. Yeah, who cares? You're going to be eliminated anyways. I don't hate it at all.

31:19Now, the Giants did. We want to score as many points as possible. I like that. That's what you should be trying to do. Yeah. That's the name of the game. He said it isn't the same old story as the other close games Giants lost this season. Now, it isn't, but it is. Giants now have set an NFL record with their fifth loss in a game where they held a double-digit lead. but this was also the first time they had a first quarter double digit lead in five years okay since joe judge so there's you got to look at the good stuff look at that the start of the game was just as good as the end of the game was bad so they're now two and five this year if they have a double digit lead at any point in the game here's someone who might not have liked it i think this is malik neighbors twitter account he's not verified is it why guard 13 is that is that his actual twitter that sounds like a receivers and he has he has uh 25 000 where is it white guard 13 yeah i think it's i think it is so he said sometimes i think they'd be making us lose on purpose because it's no way bro you throw the ball instead of running it to make them burn two timeouts then you don't kick the field goal then they have to go down and score football common sense am i missing something he deleted that so he might not have liked it now they're throwing the ball and instead of running it and trying to run clock that that might be something that Mike Kafka can work on but going forward on fourth and six when you have two wins and you're about to be eliminated from the playoffs why not yeah he said am I missing something and I think he was missing I think he's missing the fact that the Giants only have two wins yeah he's missing that part but hopefully people educated him on that also I like the fact that he's sitting at home watching the games like on the couch like getting into it and getting angry about it I like that good and if you're a Giants fan this was a perfect game in the fact that you don't you don't want to win this game right no and but you did want to see a defense outside of tackling Jameer Gibbs they were the pass rush was there they were harassing Jared Goff getting him off his spot all day long so that part maybe there's something good to look forward to I guess it's I guess if you're a Giants fan nothing really matters if Jackson Dart isn't playing well yeah and you want Shane Bowen to get fired, but you actually don't want him to get fired until after this year.

33:28Wait, who? Their defense court. Oh, okay. Yeah. You want that guy gone. Yeah. Yeah. As long as they're going to clean everyone out. Yeah. Just know that he won't be back next year. That should make you that should make you happy. You're not going to like it during the games when you're like, how does this guy still have a job? But just trust me, this is going to be good for you in the long term. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is a good loss for the Giants, even though they could have won it. And Jameis is electric. It's so much fun. He was so fun. Also. Are you a little scared of Jameis? Next week? Yeah, a little bit.

33:56Yeah, you're playing Monday Night Football against Jameis. Huge, huge story coming out of this game today. They had their annual Corgi race at halftime. Okay. The Corgi race, and Grizzly, the Corgi, was going for three straight, making a dynasty. It was a photo finish. If you look up the race, it's the closest race I've ever seen. I want to see this Corgi race. They ended up giving it to Grizzly. Max is smiling again. What's going on? Look at how Zach spelled coordinator. Okay. Spell it out loud. Q-A-R-D-E-N-T-A-T-O-R Talk us through that, Zach Coordinator Yeah, like quadriceps I hear it Yeah Coordinator Quarter Quarter Quarter And coordinator I'm the coordinator Wow We all miss sometimes Yeah, we all miss There's no shit That's on me I'm sorry Hey, look You made Max smile You did For the first time Since the Eagles-Cowboys game That's okay Max hates dogs.

34:54He doesn't want us talking about the corgis. Can we see it? Can we see the corgis? Yeah, watch the photo finish of this, because Grizzly was going for three straight, would have been a record. That's not the corgi race. There was a photo finish. I love corgi races. It's a 40-yard dash for these corgis, and I hand-timed it at about four and a half seconds, so this is like NFL speed here. Could you get us a better angle, Zach? You have us where the snipers sit.

35:23still not a great angle either way i'm pumped for what was his name grizzly grizzly grizzly the they said you don't walk grizzly grizzly walk oh there we go so grizzly was on the inside track here and they did a pause on the jumbotron to show that grizzly crossed the line by a nose now grizzly the the darker darker dog is grizzly but when you watch it on the extreme close-up angle that they have it looks to me like helen crossed the goal line barely before grizzly but then grizzly crossed into the blue of the end zone from the goal line barely before helen so we have a it's oh here we go here's the yeah look we really need this should have been a halftime for thanksgiving show i agree like who's doing the halftime show this thanksgiving i would rather watch corgi's race i'd rather have all types of weight daddy yankee Oh, man, is that close.

36:16So to me, Helen crosses the white stripe first. Are they calling it the white stripe? No. See, they called it the blue line, and then Grizzly won. They gave Grizzly. This is the Chiefs. It's basically Patrick Mahomes gets what he wants. Yeah, because Helen definitely beat him to the goal line. Beat him to the goal line, right. And then as they inch forward, that's where Grizzly separates himself. That's electric. I love it. I need more corgi racing. just something little food for thought maybe we'd play a little whose line is it anyway whose line is it anyway yep um the packers and the lions are playing at noon on thanksgiving i'm gonna guess where lines into what's thanksgiving yeah you you got that you had that as you were saying it lines minus two and a half i think it's lions yeah three it is the Three.

37:10Minus three. Oh, no. Plus 100. Plus 100, so that's two and a half. I brought it up because the Lions had 77 snaps on defense today. It's a lot of snaps. They played overtime. The Packers didn't even have to play the fourth quarter because of nine. Just something to think. Just something to think about. That feels like a quick turnaround. I love it. I know they play Thursday night football every single week, but it's Thursday afternoon football, and I think those hours matter. I love it when the Thanksgiving games mean something. Yeah. I really do. I mean, Cowboys Chiefs means a shitload. Yep. Ravens Bengals means a lot for the Ravens.

37:51There's going to be some good football, or at least some consequential football on Thanksgiving. Wait, is Texas and Texas A &M playing Thursday night too? Remember they used to play? Yeah. Thursday nights of Thanksgiving? Either Thursday or Friday. That would be perfect because then we could just, if the Bengals-Ravens, they're not playing Thursday night. That sucks. That would have been sick. That would have been a lot of fun. It is good, though, to have consequential games on Thanksgiving. Navy's playing Memphis. It gives you a big reason if you need to duck away from the family. Be like, yeah, this game's actually really important.

38:25I have to watch it. Yeah. There'll be a college basketball tournament going on, too, I'm sure. I'm in on all of it. so Jameer Gibbs the last thing I have on him he is uh there's his 44th touchdown in the NFL that is second all-time fastest amount uh 44 touchdowns second second all-time uh total of touchdowns before turning the age of 24 the person who has the most is Barry Sanders at 47 so he should break it his birthday's not till March pretty crazy that they're gonna have those two guys at the top the lions pretty cool yeah do you think that that some coaches when they coach against dan campbell are more likely to be aggressive on fourth down yes because it like they secretly want to impress them yeah just want to be like look i know what i'm doing like i'm doing it too i'm part of the club hey do you like me dan yeah we got we should chill get a beer sometime buddy yeah i know ball you know ball we're just ball knowers yeah two guys hanging out two alpha males competing against each other coaching football look at that who could have thought the two of us okay next game the bears 31 the steelers 28 the chicago bears are eight and three people are mad about the eight and three chicago bears talk to your family about the eight and three chicago bears this was um not the so it started with aaron rogers flipping off cameramen who are hard-working camera and shout out the camera people at soldier field but that was with his right right middle finger it was right middle finger so he people were like well it's inconclusive if he's playing.

39:54Was that not the most Aaron Rodgers shit ever? The guy broke his wrist like six days ago, and we did an entire week of will he or will he not play. He has a fucking broken hand. Now, was he flipping off the camera, or was he flipping off the cameraman? I don't know, but either way, disgusting, jail. I mean, that is the most Aaron Rodgers thing possible, to be like, let's do headlines an entire week of my broken wrist. Are we going to do this every week? Because I assume if you have a broken wrist, you're just not going to play quarterback. There's a very funny update to the broken wrist that came out on Saturday.

40:25Of course. I think it was Schefter saying, it's unclear whether or not he's going to play, but just know that if it was up to Aaron Rodgers, he would try to play through it. That, to me, it felt like Aaron found out from the coaches, like, hey, you're not playing. And he was like, yeah, you're right, I'm not, but I just want to tell, I'm going to let Adam Schefter know that I would rather play. And I think Mike Tomlin even said something like, we tried everything we could. We really wanted he really wanted to play just so extra either way this game. So Mason Rudolph played the obviously playing a backup quarterback is is beneficial.

41:02We've there's a list. There's a list that's going around. Can you find it for me of the last six? I know memes. You've seen this list. You love this list. The last six games the Bears the quarterbacks of Bears have faced because I think it's like Snoop Huntley. I can't. Let's see. We'll find it. Either way, the Bears also were down pretty much everyone on defense. We had all three of our starting linebackers out. We then lost two linebackers in the game. We've had the same. I don't really count. Like, you can't count Jalen Johnson and Kyler Gordon because they haven't played all season. But, you know what I mean?

41:41The Bears, the defense is tough. So, we played Mason Rudolph, J.J. McCarthy, Jackson Dart, Joe Flacco, Tyler Huntley, Spencer Rattler. Don't really care because that right there was 5-1. Either way, the Bears' defense was very hurt. Mason Rudolph, not as good as Aaron Rodgers. Cale Williams played well except for the fumble was bad. Very bad. Have to know. That was also TJ Watt's 115th sack. He passed JJ Watt. JJ Watt was on the call. That was cool. Passing of the torch moment. Passing of the torch. I'm looking at that list of quarterbacks. I see a ton of five-star college recruits. Yeah, first-round picks.

42:16Yeah, some first-round picks, but even earlier than that, some ultimate five-star top five guys in the country when they're coming out of high school. Yeah. I mean, listen, the Bears are 8-3. It's fun. I'm having fun. This game was – the defense did their best to hold it. Nayshawn Wright just picks off a ball every single week, it feels like. That was a pretty incredible pick that he had. Just stuck his left arm up, stuck to his wrist, got two feet down. That was pretty cool to see. And the Steelers were able to move the ball. like mason ruff had a 95 yard touchdown drive you could tell there was moments where it's like oh there's no one in in the second level to tackle here because every runs five yards i do think that fake tush push while an incredible play was illegal because cbs just did a terrible job and just didn't have the game on how can you miss plays down the sideline feel like this happens a lot in like low level division two college basketball yeah but i never see it in the nfl The NFL, punishable by death.

43:12It was crazy. It was crazy. It was bad. I thought that they kind of messed up actually having Mason Rudolph run a QB sneak for zero yards. Mason Rudolph should not be trying to impose his will physically. They were setting up the fake tush push. And then Tomlin's explanation behind it was, I'd do it again because hesitation kills more than aggression. You don't have to hesitate. You can make the correct decision immediately. instead of overthinking whether or not to run Mason Rudolph. Yeah, the Bears are good. The Bears are a good team. I don't think that there's anybody out there being like Bears Super Bowl.

43:48So anyone that's calling the Bears a fraud, I would disagree with that. Same, I would disagree with the Colts assessment. I think the Bears are just a good football team. Listen, there are some years where the bounces go your way. That is what it feels like right now for the Bears. So it's like strapping and enjoy the fuck out of this ride. Eight and three is awesome. it would be I'm now at the point where I will be very disappointed if the Bears don't make the playoffs because if you're eight and three and you don't make the playoffs that's that's really really that's a scary zone to be in that's a scary zone to be I have to be I have to be honest with it like eight and three you got it you got to find a way to get to the play you're out in deep water right now and there's a chance that you can make a swim for that island yep but if you don't now it's like there's more at stake than when you were just splashed around the kiddie pool I think it's just also there's like it's a combination of the Bears always are being bad a lot of the times and then kind of not wanting to believe uh that it could could be real and there's very real parts of it one ben johnson is very very real caleb williams is playing has has taken steps forward this year versus last year you can see him in an offense that has a little continuity and a good coach he had three touchdowns today he missed a couple guys like he wasn't a perfect game but and dj moore was awesome and it was also a day where the run game was not what it has been recently and then Dennis Allen's a hell of a defensive coach because this team has so many starters out and he's finding a way to make it work Montez Sweat came up big brisker with the deflection at the end of the game was huge and shout out Ryan Poles because his offensive uh his left tackle pick from this past year Ozzy Trapillo came in gave up one pressure that was a point of weakness we lost theo benedit so we're on our third off uh left tackle ozzy traville looked pretty good we gotta find out one test he was going up against uh i think he was going up against nick herbert we gotta find out what happened after that lions game what happened after week two the gateway i need some uh gateway open i need some boots on the ground inside halis hall to tell me all the weird new shit that ben johnson did any uh players only meetings that were had after that game because the bears have been a different team i just think he's a really good coach and he He gets guys to believe, and even if they're not a top echelon team right now, which I'm not going to say they are, he gets guys to believe that every single week they can go into a game and he's going to put them in a place to win the game.

46:13What echelon are they? They are, I don't know, whatever the second tier is. I think they're a second tier. But I'm enjoying the fuck out of it, and it would be crazy for me to say I think the Bears can win four playoff games and win a Super Bowl. when we're winning games by the thinnest of margins. But I also think the Bears can compete with anyone at this point, and they've got a belief that they are not going to blink when those tough moments come. Max, did you ever think when the schedule came out that Black Friday after Thanksgiving would be 8-3 Bears versus 8-3 Eagles? No, it's a big game.

46:49It's a huge game. Are you now looking at the schedule or our record? We've got to worry about ourselves right now. Okay. So, Big Cat, this is bad for you that the Eagles lost today. Oh, so bad. Bad. And the Bears are off a win? You had to be rooting so hard for the Eagles. I was asked on my fantasy corner this morning if I remained a 6 out of 10, and I was like, to be honest, I've been walking around at like a 9.5 on the street, just like fist random. I went and did something with the Lost Boys on Saturday. There was a brunch in the West Loop. I was just fist-bumping people coming in and out of the bar, just being like, Bears, let's get to 8-3.

47:25It was a nine and a half easily. Yeah. I mean, this is easily. This is a very exciting time for Bears fans. It's crazy. And like the Bears, they're probably going to make the playoffs. I would be shocked. I'd be surprised if they didn't make the playoffs. I'd be very upset if they didn't. And then it's all about who you get to play in the first round. The Bears could win a playoff game this year. I'm excited to see how we play against the Eagles because this is going to be a huge game. And the Eagles are obviously, even though they just lost the Cowboys, the Eagles defense is still elite. So how do we how does our offense look against an elite defense?

47:55versus some of the defenses that we've been playing that have not been elite. I mean, there's also... Huge test. Huge test on Black Friday. You guys... I'm excited for the opportunity. You should want to win the division, too. The division is definitely... Oh, hell yeah. It's definitely yours. If you want it. If you want it. Do you want it? Yeah, the season comes down to those... We have two games against the Packers and a game against the Lions. It still is probably going to... Everything's going to boil down to the Niners game is going to be the biggest swing game possible. But, yeah, I want the fucking division.

48:24I did like there was one Packers fan who was like Talk to me tomorrow When it was this morning he was like We'll wait like five hours to see the Bears Not in first anymore guess what another week We're still in first Happened what are you going to do about it Nothing can't do anything about it right now Talk to your people about The eight and three Chicago Bears You know what there might be a moment on Thursday if the Packers win They would momentarily overtake the Bears They would have 24 hours and then the Bears have 24 hours to respond to take the division back. Yeah, and we're never going to give it back.

48:58Just don't give it back. Just don't give it back. Who said that? Ryan Pouls just shouldn't have said that. Ryan Pouls. We're going to take the division. He said we're going to take the North and not give it back. Then just don't give it back. It's nine-tenths of the law. How do we still do press conferences like that? And I'm not even just talking about Ryan Pouls because I think Ryan Pouls, this offensive line has been worlds better and he's done a lot of nice things. like Nayshaun Wright is a guy who's stepped up and he wouldn't have started this year if we were healthy. But you just got to know when you're doing a press conference to just not say shit like that that can be thrown back in your face.

49:30Yeah. You can't do that. I have a question for you, Big Cat. Yeah. Is Caleb Williams nicknamed the Iceman? So there was a kid who had the Iceman. The Iceman. The Iceman. Maybe it is because I saw someone else write it. I feel like there's other Iceman. There's a lot of other Iceman. Yeah. And also. Pritzker's not going to like that. Caleb Williams, like Caleb is a name that is not. What? That was funny. Yeah, the Iceman. Pritzker. Well, yeah, he's not like that. He's going to break out the salt trucks. Yeah, he's going to blow the horn. His name's Caleb. Yeah. I feel like when you have a unique name like that, you don't really need a nickname.

50:10Yeah. I mean, it's tough to just put a nickname on a guy that doesn't have a ready-made nickname. You just call him by his number. I kind of like the Iceman, though. K-Wil? Yeah, probably. K-Wil? No, or C-Dub. C-Dub? Yeah, watch him on the C-Dub. C? What about just C? C-Dub 18? Yeah, not everyone needs a nickname. He could just be Caleb Williams. He just could be Caleb. It's like when Che tried to call Jane Daniels the warthog last year. Yeah, even some of these guys, like, you remember how Peyton Manning wanted to be called the sheriff? The sheriff, yeah. That was so weird. No, Gruden made that up.

50:40Oh, yeah, Gruden made that up. But, I mean, his name's Peyton Manning. It is what it is. The problem with Gruden is he's a serial nickname guy. He just gives out nicknames to everybody that he meets. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like quarterbacks is the least nicknamed position in sports. Jake the Snake. There's just not a lot of them. Drake, Drake May. I hate that nickname. I hate it. Schedule. Yeah, the schedule. That's the nickname. Mr. 294. Jalen Hurst doesn't have a nickname, does he? Fred Smoot calls Jaden Daniels Jedi 5 Jedi 5 RG3 RG3 but that's his initials I never really thought about it RG3 is actually Rex Grossman III that's what we say but there's not a lot of nicknames out there for quarterbacks Matty Ice Cam Superman Broadway Joe Broadway Joe mr unlimited yeah teddy two gloves teddy two gloves yeah it's really about yeah if you're say their name yeah just say their name yeah a great wide receiver or a great defensive player right more likely to have it right or a basketball player there's just yeah you just say their name when they're a quarterback yep okay the ice man the ice man you could probably make some sick shirts with the Iceman on it yeah the Iceman the Iceman Cometh the he had four he had a you let a touchdown drive in every single quarter it was and I will say this I've been I've been saying that the biggest issue for the Bears offensively right now has been just too many times having nice drives that end in three points they were three for three in the red zone with touchdowns and I still think there's a game coming where everything just really like explodes and Everything clicks.

52:31Colson Loveland, I fucking love that guy. Every time he catches a ball, he wants to get more yards. You know who's cheering the boys on? Maybe one of the emotional leaders of the team, or at least he thinks he might be, is Cairo. Yeah, Cairo has some swag. Cairo's just been letting it rip. Cairo's been cheering the boys on. Well, every game has basically come down to Cairo. So he's a very important piece. If Cairo was having a bad year, what would your record be at this point? Oh, definitely a couple more losses. Yeah, Ben Johnson, whatever he's done with Cairo, great job. He believed in Cairo because I have not always been a believer in Cairo.

53:04And Jake Moody was nipping at his heels for a little bit. He says, I'm going back to Cairo. Yep. Jake Moody's now your guy. He is my guy. Yeah. But I hope he starts to stink again for us. Real quick about the Steelers. I feel like Steelers fans are as down as possible just because, not because the Bears beat them, but because the Ravens won as well. And in a matter of six weeks, the Ravens are now top the AFC North again. Yeah. It was mostly because everybody told them that that was going to happen. And then it happened. And then it happened. In record time. Exactly according to plan. Right. And so now they're feeling bad about everything right now.

53:37And I don't really know what the fix would be because, again, I don't know how Rodgers, like, if he didn't play today, he's not going to play, right? Until his wrist is fixed. Yeah, how much better is it going to get in week two of a broken wrist? It's still going to be broken. That was the whole point of this whole song and dance. Like, you have a broken wrist. It is what it is. Drink your milk, Aaron. Yeah. Yeah, it's not good for the Steelers right now, it feels like. I think Jerry, he got up for this game. He waited in the parking lot for an hour for me this morning because I pulled in and his car is so tinted, I didn't even know if he was in it.

54:10But then he pulled down the window and he was like, what's up, bitch? He said he was waiting for an hour. Did he videotape it? No. Just little guys. Was he in his parking spot? Yeah, he was in his parking spot. The one that's got the blue decal with the purse and the chair on it. Yep, in the wheelchair. Yeah, that parking spot. Mike Tomlin said injuries test you. They don't define you. Oh, okay. He's not allowing his team to be defined by the injuries that they have, which, I mean, yeah, that's fair because I think we defined this team before the injuries happened, and then they kind of lived up to that.

54:42I feel – I still think that if Aaron Rodgers, if he comes back, they can make the playoffs. It's getting crowded in the AFC. It is. It's getting very crowded. By the way, I'll throw out one negative thing for the Bears haters. They can throw out. I've seen it tweeted at me. The Bears are the third team in NFL history to have eight plus wins in a negative point differential through 11 games of season. I get it. That's only that's haven't done anything convincing, but we've done it. It's just minus three. Yeah, it's barely negative. Yeah, that that Lions game really hurt in week two. Yeah, I mean, if you take that one's carrying a lot.

55:15If you exclude weeks one and week two. If you say since week three. Well, no weeks one was we only lost by three. Yeah, but if you just take out weeks one and two. Yeah, then. And you guys are sitting pretty. Dominant team. Dominant team. One loss. Dominant team. Okay, next up. Let's stick in the division. Packers 23, Vikings 6. 9. Do we have a 9 problem? I think we have a significant 9 problem. I think that people just don't believe hard enough in 9. J.J. McCarthy. So, they had. He had four net yards in the second half. He had two picks. He had five sacks. and then there was the insult graphic that was actually kind of mean-spirited that they put up there that said stats, completion percentage, TD to interception, passer rating, and every single one for the quarterbacks was last, last, last.

56:08They shouldn't say. Oh, that's a good meme by the PMT stats. The guy sitting on the good side of the bus, Big Cat Bears 8-3, Max 8-3 on the sad side, does feel like that right now. I'm as excited as possible. So Max is not happy. It's a wonderful feeling. Just look at the numbers. Be happy with the numbers next to your name, Max. That's a good... Those are good numbers. I'm pumped to be 8-3, Max. You pumped to be 8-3? Nope. Okay. All right, Packers 23, Vikings 6. Max is usually our biggest 8 guy. I'm fucking pumped. JJ McCarthy's Max. JJ McCarthy's bad. 9 is good. JJ's bad. We didn't see 9 today.

56:47We saw JJ. It would help if they caught some of his passes, too. I know he had at least one drop. That would have been good for another 12 yards on his total net yardage. But, yeah, he was very bad today. It's never good, too, when the broadcast is doing the mechanics zoom-ins. They had his feet, the mechanics, all types of graphics going on, where his feet were ending up, his throws, the one he sailed for an interception, and the other one where he did get his arm grabbed. Oh, Devontae Adams scored another one-yard touchdown. That's all he does. He's a beast at that. J.J. McCarthy looks like he is in very deep water.

57:29Yeah. I think that's fair to say. Now, the Packers defense is nasty. The Packers defense has been playing lights out. They've been keeping them in every single game. That's never been the problem. Micah Parsons was a beast today. But J.J. McCarthy looks like he's in trouble. Very much. I want to believe in nine. I think it's funny to have a quarterback that gives himself an alter ego name that steps into character and just like wills his way to victory in games that he should absolutely lose. I think that's good for the NFL ecosystem to have a guy that actually sucks but somehow wins games. He's just not doing enough to win games that he sucks in.

58:08He's got the sucking part down. We just got to figure out the very end of game situations for him. And it's not happening. And on that list, that graphic that they put on the screen, you don't have to say last. You can say 32nd. You can do numbers. But when you say last, it really twists the knife a little bit. Last hurts. It's hard to ignore. If it's 32nd, then people can look at it and be like, well, maybe there's a bunch of starting quarterbacks that are behind him. And this includes just backup quarterbacks that got in. So maybe it's really 32nd out of 50 quarterbacks. And you don't have to put last.

58:42That felt personal to Vikings fans. And Vikings fans, you got to support your guy. Packers fans, you've been lucky enough to have Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love, Brett Favre. They had their down moments too. What if all their down moments came in like the first seven games that they played for you? That might be what's happening with nine right now. You're being tested. Can I give you a blind resume? Will you pass the test, Vikings fans? Can I give you a blind resume? Okay. I'm actually fine. Vikings fans, if you're like, I don't want to take this test anymore. I wouldn't disagree with you. Because here's the thing.

59:18J.J. McCarthy, and there will be pushback that why do other quarterbacks get more leeway in the NFL, like young quarterbacks? The problem with J.J. McCarthy is it is his second year, so he was able to be in an NFL locker room for a year. I'm not saying that he obviously couldn't play. but going into his career in the NFL the question was what does it look like when he's not on a dominant defensive team that can run the ball when he's not asked when he's asked to do more it wasn't winning Heisman trophies or winning playoff you know go you know putting up gaudy numbers that was a legitimate question so obviously people are going to freak out after six games which is fair it's fair to freak out I just give it some more time do you want the blind resume or no yeah it feels like you don't know you want to give him time no i do i do okay first six career games quarterback a 929 yards six touchdowns 10 interceptions okay sack 20 times pass rating 57.9 quarterback two uh 1051 yards five touchdowns three interceptions sack 16 times pass rating a 76.9 what are the two sack numbers there sacked uh Quarterback A was 20 times.

1:00:39Quarterback B was 16 times. Okay, that's a lot of sacks. Which one is J? I think the first one's JJ. It is. And the second one is a guy who might be thought of as being a bad quarterback. He is. Okay. Johnny Benzel. Worse. Zach Wilson. Worse. Worse than Zach Wilson. Jamarcus Russell. Oh. That's about as bad as anything else. This was sent to me by a Vikings fan who I will have remained anonymous because I do not want to get him in trouble, but a Vikings fan sent me that. I think Jamarcus Russell. A Vikings fan sent me that. He needed a little bit more time. I think we need a Josh Allen, J.J. McCarthy blind resume.

1:01:26Okay. I have seen a lot of Vikings fans do that, being like, why aren't you talking about him like you talked about Josh Allen's rookie year? There is that narrative out there. Yep. This might be a young Josh. Okay. All right. I'm not trying to shit on him. Obviously, he plays for a divisional foe, so I'm not rooting for him, but I don't want him to have a bad time. But, I mean, if you're – listen, JJ – I want him to not be good, but I don't want him to have a bad time, if that makes sense. JJ is Mr. Fourth Quarter, kind of, in at least like two games this season. Maybe he's just waiting to play good football until the game's actually – like his back's against the wall.

1:02:05when he feels like they're losing in the fourth quarter of the season, and then it's nine time. And then it's nine time? Then the face paint gets even darker. The steps get faster. The heart beats harder. He's probably at that point right now. Four and seven. I'm looking at... I got a blind resume going into today of JJ and Josh Allen. Okay, give it to us. It's on the screen. Oh. First five career starts okay they're not too dissimilar there's a lot unfortunately the eight interceptions is now 10 and josh allen was better as a rusher he had three touchdowns rushing so he had five total touchdowns i guess yeah it's not it's not crazy yeah but the difference is also that jj is on a team that was very good last year and josh allen has a rocket arm looks good in shorts looks great in shorts but the texans did fuck him up we're gonna talk about that later i swear to god texans fans the packers though that i i let's just at least say that jj mccarthy was bad the packers defense is really fucking good again so that was a tough task for him yeah they banged him up also shout out emmanuel wilson because josh jacobs was out emmanuel wilson undrafted uh free agent he played at a very small college i think he was in the league on a practice squad like last year or the year before he had 170 yards for the packers on the ground today 100 yards of those came after contact also the first packer running back to have 100 yard game since josh jacobs in week 12 2024 that's pretty crazy yeah and the the packers offense when they're running the ball like twice as much as they're passing it is actually a lot better it's not a knock necessarily against love but it makes everything easier if you can run the football yeah so this that's the formula for the packers i've seen some um jerry jones has won the michael parsons trade discourse what what is that because michael parsons has been pretty damn good he's through 11 games at the packers he has 10 sacks 20 qb hits 60 pressures leads the nfl i think it's because when Micah Parsons was traded for some reason, everybody around the league thought that the Cowboys were going to finish with the number one overall draft pick at the end of this year.

1:04:27It would be that bad. And people thought that the Packers were going to win every single game and win a Super Bowl. And then the Packers have lost a couple games to some inferior opponents. They've tied against the Cowboys. That's where it goes down to. If the Cowboys lost that trade in the moment to the Packers, yep but then they tied the packers yep head to head yep therefore the cowboys actually won that trade okay that makes sense does that make sense yeah that makes sense okay the tie won them the trade yeah it didn't make them losing the trade didn't make them as bad as people thought it was going to make them therefore they kind of won the trade yeah it's all by the expectations i think that logic makes sense i think the packers fans are also one of the doom and gloom maxes on the The dark side of the bus.

1:05:16Yeah. That are upset with their 7-3-1 record right now. Yeah, nitpicking. I mean, Jordan Love didn't even have to play this whole game. No, he - He came out. Malik Willis played then because the game was - They were like, there's no way nine is scoring on us. Yeah, this is the formula. You throw the ball 21 times, you run it 42 times. Exactly twice as much. What - Let's go around the room. Who's still believing in J.J. McCarthy? Max and PFT. I am. Okay. Hey, it costs nothing to believe in a guy. It can. Yeah, no, it can. I mean, what's anyone going to say? Oh, you were wrong? Like money. Oh, yeah.

1:05:55Yeah, yeah. No, that will definitely cost you something if you still believe in a guy. Listen, I just want JJ to be good. I think that the league's a better place when you have guys that suck that end up winning football games. Not that I'm saying that JJ sucks. Sounds like he sucks. I think he's a great personality to have in the league. Sounds like you want to laugh at him. Listen, he's got a great personality. So you're believing in him for a bit, not because of that. Yeah, you're not actually believing in him. There's nothing he's shown you on the field that's made you believe in him because you're friends with Greer.

1:06:24Mr. Fourth Quarter. Greer is just giving me ammo of what I should be saying. So no one's believing in him here. Mr. Fourth Quarter. Greer is a co-worker of ours who really likes J.J. McCarthy. But I believe in him. I think most Vikings fans are probably having a little bit of a crisis. He beat the Lions. Mr. Fourth Quarter. He did beat the Lions. He beat the Bears. He beat the Bears. He beat the Bears. He almost beat the Bears twice. He absolutely beat the Bears. He actually beat the Bears last week, but then his special teams let him down. Mm-hmm. Well, he also threw a couple picks. But I'm saying, like, at the end of the game.

1:06:59He had the game-winning drive. Yeah, he let. He did the drive. He gave his special teams a lead at the end of the game. He had a game-winning drive. Now, this next week is going to be awesome because they're going to Seattle, and Sam Darnold gets to play against the Vikings, who didn't want him. ran him out of town last year this is nine's opportunity to step up I don't know I don't think so do you believe Hank? fuck no there you go Hank I don't even think it's a point too where you can hurt Vikings fans Felix I think there's a lot of them they're like I don't believe it's been bad and again it's the context of it it's not he was awesome in college you know this incredible skills and everything.

1:07:43So the team didn't believe. They were lying about his injury, so he didn't have to play. The soft benching. Mm-hmm. And the Schefter fake reporting. Yep. Yeah. And they had soft trades in the offseason, too. Oh, yeah, they did do some soft trades. Their soft pursuit of Aaron Rodgers last year. Yeah, why am I supposed to believe in him if Kevin O 'Connell doesn't? Everything around him has been soft. It's been weird. It's been weird. He's at a very strange last year of his career. It's been very weird. I forgot about the soft trades. Yeah, they were bringing guys in, moving them out. Florio told me I was an idiot for thinking that there's anything weird going on with the quarterback situation.

1:08:21Feels like there's some weird stuff. But Florio's too close to it. Florio's probably one of those, he probably hates nine and he's a Vikings fan. How much do you think J.J. McCarthy wishes he didn't say the nine part? Probably a lot now. A lot. Probably a lot. It's just so memeable. Nine. It's so bad. I do think the Packers are going to beat the Lions next week. Again, this is why I'm scared the Packers is because of their defense. And Jordan Love will figure it out where he just floats backwards and completes all his passes. And if they get a home playoff game, forget it. No one's going into Lambeau.

1:08:55No. No. Can't be done. Okay. Before we get to the other three games in the morning, DraftKings is beginning to look a lot like holidays on the house at DraftKings Casino.

1:11:00I got one for my mom last year. It's great. Yeah. She actually really loves it. It's like her favorite gift that she has. Also, if you're not getting it for your mom, you can also get it for a friend and have it in their living room and then upload whatever pictures you want on it. I like that. That will then automatically display inside their living room. Might be fun for some people. Yes. Okay. Patriots 26, Bengals 20. Henry. Yes. How are you feeling? I feel good. I feel good. We're 10-2. Number one seed. Best team on the podcast. I feel great. Our injury is bad. Will Campbell, really bad. Did they have an update on him?

1:11:38The update is not official. There's rumors and reports that aren't 100 % legit. I don't know if they are. That are saying it might be four to eight weeks. Okay. That's not good. So, back for the playoffs. There you go. Back for the playoffs. Back for the playoffs. I thought Drake May was excellent today. As I predicted, he had a career high in yards. Did he hit 300? He did not hit 300. 294. He did have like a 60-yard pass interference. That probably hurt a little bit, but it is what it is. Career highs are career high. Yeah, exactly. That's all you can do is just keep improving. Room for improvement still.

1:12:15He looked good today, except for a couple times in the first half. He had a couple bad throws today. That pick six was really bad. It was pretty bad. And then Flacco was like, I'll see your pick six. I'll throw an even worse one. Flacco's pick six. I think Drake May was not the problem for the Patriots today. And even to say that it's a problem, like you guys won 26-20. But the problem for the Patriots was the goal line offense. Yeah. That was bad. I think you had 12 plays at the goal line today. So they had one sequence where they had nine plays within the 11-yard line, six of those snaps from the one-yard line.

1:12:50That was all in the same drive. they spent basically five minutes at the one yard line and then they had another one where they did it again and decided to kick a field goal yeah so i think they ended up having 12 chances with goal to go and they got a total of three points out of it you gotta straighten that out besides that it's like they didn't play poorly at all yeah and that happened against the bucks too and they they kind of got bailed out like with the stefan diggs corner fade touchdown catch but still not exactly a play you want to see on fourth and goal. After the same thing where they had three plays basically from the 1-2-3 that they did not convert on.

1:13:28But again, 10-2 with things to improve on, glass half full, that's a good thing. And when's your bye week? After we have Monday Night Football against Jameis and then bye. Who are you playing? Bishop Sycamore? Monday Night Football? Jameis Winston, what do you guys think about him? Oh, the Giants. He's the best. Yeah, he's the best. It's going to be a great game. Right, so that, yeah. It's going to be a tough game. Yeah. I just heard you guys suck him off for a fucking hour. Who was the Bengals' number one receiver for the second half of this game? It was T. Higgins, but then he got a concussion.

1:13:57Oh, what about Yoshi? What about him? He also got hurt. Oh, okay. Mitchell Tinsley was the Bengals' top receiver in this game at the end of this game. Thanks, Max. You mean their best receiver that was currently playing at the end of the game? What about Jamar Chase? He's on the Bengals. We had one offensive lineman playing if we're going to do the injuries game. Two of our starters got taken out. Let's do the injuries game. injury games against the Bears. Don't let them do it. Yeah. With the backup quarterbacks. I mean, it had to be mentioned. It had to be mentioned. It had to be mentioned that Mitchell Tinsley was their number one.

1:14:28Former commander. Was he really? Yeah. I just looked him up because I want to see if he went. There's anything cool about him. Not really. He was a commander. His Wikipedia is a commander shirt. Okay. He was on the commanders from... Actually, no. He was on the practice squad for a year. So that's good. Former commander. Played at Penn State, Western Kentucky. hutchinson community college mitchell tinsley so he's a nittany lion yeah so max you should you should love this guy good player yeah good player i just i just thought that he should get a shine it had to be mentioned uh he should get a shine i want to know what the fuck the bangles are doing defensively because watching this game it was it was like a carbon copy of watching that steelers game where they just let dudes just run across the middle of the field like hunter henry How many times has Hunter Henry wide open, like four yards past the line of scrimmage, with a linebacker like 12 yards away from him?

1:15:23A lot. The Patriots did a great job of scheming stuff up against that defense. But Jesus Christ, if you're a Bengals fan, how do you do it? And you know what's the craziest part? They're playing better. Yeah. They're playing better defensively the last two weeks. But still, it's got to be so frustrating. I guess your red zone defense today was good. Yeah. Hank, was that more about red zone execution on offense or on good defense? I'll have to look at the all 22. We'll go with the offense. So I think we've got to pick it up. Okay, pick it up. Yeah. So at best, the Bengals can finish 9-8 if they win out.

1:15:55That would be three straight years of 9-8. It does feel like that Super Bowl run was years ago. Does it not? Yeah. They did, you know, the year after the Super Bowl run was the year that they went 12-4 and then went and lost in the AFC Championship game to the Chiefs. They had those two years, and it feels like since then, we're now on year three of not going to the playoffs and not winning football games. And Joe Burrow being out has a lot to do with it, but it's got to be frustrating as hell as a Bengals fan because you had Super Bowl, go to the AFC Championship game, give the Chiefs their absolute best shot, and then since then, nothing.

1:16:37but Patriots now six, no on the road this season. That's good. And what was the spread of this game? Seven and a half. So did not cover. Did not cover. Okay. What's that make them eight and three, seven, four and one. Stop that. No, that's pretty, it's still pretty good. I think that might be the best in the AFC. Take it. Or at least right up there. Yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't say that there's a whole lot to be upset about, except for the goal line offense today. And I feel like maybe, I don't know. I don't know what Frabel does to get that straightened out. I mean, the Bengals didn't have the ball.

1:17:10That's a good, the bye week is a good time to really. Reassess. Yeah. Zach Taylor said losing is the worst. Agreed. And then he said, why would you play, why would you consider playing Joe Burrow? Which I think it's a fair question. He said winning is important. We want to win. Joe Burrow gives us a great chance to win. Do you think they win the game with a healthy Joe Burrow today? Probably. Yeah. Healthy, yeah. Yeah. With Joe Burrow coming off of an injury, who knows? Right. I'd agree with that. Just a bummer. But the receivers, he had no one to throw to, so probably not. Mitchell Tinsley. Right?

1:17:47Mitchell Tinsley. Nittany line commander. It doesn't matter how good the quarterback is. If you have no one to throw to, what are you supposed to do? I don't know what point you're trying to make. I'm trying to follow up on your point from earlier. You put it in my head. I know. He's doing a follow-up point. I agree with you. There's a follow-up point right now. You and I are on the same page here. If Joe Burrow played last week, there's no chance that Jamar Chase would have spat on Jalen Ramsey. Because Joe's a good leader. Good leader. Yeah. Well, Jamar Chase got injured. Wrong. Oh, he did that to himself.

1:18:17Yeah. Shit. What does that have to do? He got you. What does that have to do with anything? He got your ass. What point is that? I don't know, but he got your ass. What is the point? He didn't play. The point was the Patriots did not play against Jamar Chase. It does not matter why he did not play. Can I take a timeout, please? Why? Why does that matter? Max, I'd like a timeout. In the moment, the way Hank phrased that, it felt like a gotcha. Now that I'm out of the moment, I don't really understand the gotcha. But did you feel it in the room where he kind of goaded you into saying something and then he gotcha?

1:18:54It made no sense. Yeah, but it still felt like a gotcha. I think you got got. I think your whole point made no sense. I don't think Max got got. No, he did. He said he got suspended. That's what Hank was looking for. Hank, you said earlier that you are the best team on the podcast. But why does that matter? It doesn't. Why does that matter? Again, I think it was a premature gotcha, but in the moment, it felt like one. If you look at the records, we have the most wins on the podcast. We also have the least amount of losses on the podcast. The least amount of losses, which is more important. The season is also not over.

1:19:22I'm just saying. Hank, does that follow-up question that does having the most wins, does that make you the best team? I would say yes. Statistically, yes. Well, you were just calling the Colts frauds. Gotcha. That's not gotcha. You were saying that they're completely fraudulent and disrespecting the Colts, even though they have a lot of wins and they were the one seed. Yeah, but we didn't have it. We have every chance we have to prove ourselves. We do. The Colts had a chance to prove themselves today. They did not. Right, but the concept of total number of wins not equaling best team, you've set the precedent that that's not always the case, but now you want that to be the case when your Patriots have the most we also have the least amount of losses well that was also true with the Colts no they had the same amount as other teams Patriots and but when the Colts had the one seed when they did yeah no no because you're saying that it's possible for a team with a lot of wins to be fraudulent I'm asking you if that if the Patriots play the Eagles the Eagles are a better team probably they have the winning experience they just won the Super Bowl I will give you that.

1:20:29So you're not the best team on the podcast. Well, statistically we are. No, you just said right now the Eagles are a better team. But that's a hypothetical. I only look at numbers. Okay. You just said it 350 times back. But you also just said that the Eagles are better. Hypothetically, yes. Statistically speaking, and in real life, real world, we are the best currently. Who would you say is better than – because you are the one seed right now, right? Or no, it's the Broncos. We are. Yeah. So are there any teams in the AFC that are better? We are. I'm not going to do this game. Okay. Why not? I guess we'll stop the game.

1:21:10It wasn't a game. This is sports podcast. Because I look – It's a fair question. No. No. No. Yes. Yes. No. We're going to beat every single team in the AFC. When we talk about the Bears, I say they're 8-3 and I'm so pumped. But I also know, hey, there's shit that has gone our way that I can't ignore that. If you want to be the best, I said this to PFT time and time again last year, you want to beat the best, you've got to beat the best. I don't care who we're playing. I think we can beat them. AFC, NFC, don't matter. How would you feel about this season if you ended up winning 12 games and then lose first round of the playoffs?

1:21:42That would be a disappointment, big disappointment. Okay, you win one playoff game. Depends how we lose. Overtime. To who? You lose in overtime to the Buffalo Bills. Disappointment, but that's good for the future. You beat the Chiefs in round one. You get blown out by the Jaguars round one. That's tough. That would never happen. I'd be happy with that, though. What if Doddington Bones just fucking dots your ass? Oh, he dots the fuck out of you. You might be henna. Dots you. That would be disappointment. Henna-ese. I'd be disappointed. What if you lost... He's not playing this game, by the way.

1:22:25What if you went to overtime and won against the Jaguars? Then you went to overtime and won against the Chargers. And then you lost by 50 points to Patrick Mahomes. Good for the soul. Good season. Good for the soul. Good for the future. Fulfilling season. What if you beat the Chiefs? Yeah, it's a fulfilling season with also a fire in your stomach and pit in the offseason that's going to propel you in the future. What if you beat the Chiefs, beat the Ravens, beat the Chiefs, beat the Ravens, and then get absolutely smashed by the Colts, who you called frauds? Same thing. Losing in the NCAA championship would be a phenomenal, again, not phenomenal.

1:23:04It would be a tolerable result. But then he remembered. It would be a tolerable result. Yeah, but then he remembered. Phenomenal. It would be phenomenal. Hank, nobody expects you to be here. You should just enjoy the ride. Yeah. The Patriots season and the Bears season, it's pretty similar right now. I think the Bears, they've played a much harder schedule. But overall, if you look at it, pretty much in the same spot, you should just enjoy being here. And I am. And I continue to will. You continue to will. Yep. Yeah. I mean, listen. You shouldn't apologize for being 10-2. No, you should not. But I have not.

1:23:42You should not. I know. That's all. Do not apologize. I won't. I just like that you're being realistic about it. That was the most realistic we got, talking about getting the AFC Championship game, saying that was a good season. That's why we played these games. Yeah, we played the game. We're on a better spot now than we were before this conversation. Correct. That game was good. Grounded you. I guess. Bengals are just sad. I don't know what else to say. They're the tough. They might go to bed early on Thursday night. Well, it's probably going to be Joe. That's what's crazy. Why? All signs point to Joe Flacco playing.

1:24:19They shouldn't. Joe wants to play. Zach Taylor wants to save his job. That's what Zach Taylor probably could have said to the media when they asked him about that. Yeah. Like, we play these. We want to win football games. He gives us your best chance. He also gives you your best chance of not being fired. Correct. When Joe Burrow's playing. Correct. Burrow, if you're a Bengals fan, you should not want Joe Burrow to play this year. You should want to invest heavily in large men that shove people that play directly in front of Joe Burrow. And you should kind of move along to next year. Zach, quick update.

1:24:53How's this game going for you? Dumps are fire. Okay. Yeah, that was now 21-0. You might put 36 on our head before half. On your head. On your head. On our head. Teams can come back from down 21. No. What? No. In the first half? I think that was exactly how. Home teams. True. I shouldn't have came in that negative. We still got time. There you go. That's on me. Another white tight end scored. Higby, I think, is out. So now it's just Parkinson's. They're just down to three. They have another white tight end. No, they have four. They have four guys. Four white tight ends that look the same. Yeah, I bet one of them.

1:25:27They're all numbers in the 80s. Not a fun game to play. No, that's what I'm saying. You just got to bet all. You got to bet them all and just hope they score multiple times. I'm just thinking about nine again because the Rams have their own nine. Matt Safford. it does seem to me like the I need to start reminding people to keep the same energy when another quarterback throws an interception I think it's now going to be like if 9 did this the media wouldn't shut up about it about every pick that's thrown who would that just anyone that throws an interception but guys who've been good in the league yeah it doesn't matter it's just like if you throw a pick if J.J.

1:26:04McCarthy did this they'd be writing articles about it already that's fair Seahawks 30 Titans 24 Or Jackson Smith Najigba. He's incredible. He is another one. So we said Jameer Gibbs is the best. I need to stick with my takes because I said Jameer Gibbs is the best running back like a month ago. And then I got a little bit bullied. That's fine because I always forget people when I say that. I have been saying Jackson Smith Najigba has been the best wide receiver this season for a month. And it is facts. He is incredible. Eight catches, 167 yards, two touchdowns. He had 70 % of their passing offense.

1:26:39He's awesome. He is on pace to break an NFL record of 2 ,029 yards. That's his on pace right now. He's got 13-13 on the season through 12 weeks. He's insane. I need him to do it, and I need to do it in 16 games too. Yeah, he's got 11 consecutive games with 75-plus yards. That's pretty incredible. He's always open downfield, and the Seahawks offense is just designed to get the ball downfield. This is why I love the Seahawks. They're fun. Not only are they a great team defensively, but they have maybe the best receiver in the NFL. Sam Donald's playing out of his mind. They've got two running backs who I don't even know how to describe them.

1:27:16It's like sometimes one guy will be good. You can't figure out who's going to be good or who's going to get goal line carries. One of the two of them will have a good game, usually. I actually kind of appreciate that they are back to when... Remember when running back by committee became a thing and it just pissed off everyone? Oh, the Panthers? Yeah, the Panthers It made people so mad Who's going to get the touches, all this stuff It feels like we all kind of got accustomed to it The Seahawks do it In a hilarious way That just fucks over anyone Who is wagering or has fantasy football I think it's all about whoever has the first Big play That's the guy that's going to end up with 13 carries And then the other guy is going to end up With 7 carries That's kind of how they split it out They wait to see who has that first breakout moment But when you really reach the level of elite troll head coach is when you get that third guy in the mix.

1:28:10Like the Panthers had Tolbert. Yep. That would come out. Yeah. And the other guys would have like 70 yards and 40 yards rushing. Tolbert would have like three yards and two touchdowns. That's when you reach that next nirvana level of troll. So Cam Ward actually played pretty well in this game, given the fact that Seahawks are really good defense. Seahawks actually, defensively, I was surprised that they weren't able in the fourth quarter, or maybe it was a little bit of the third quarter as well, Cam Ward went on two touchdown drives. They covered the spread. They tried to stop him. They kept on getting in fourth and long as Cam Ward kept on making crazy plays.

1:28:48If you're a Titans fan, this was a Cam Ward look good, I'm happy day. He had the one throw across his body that worked? Yeah, where he was like falling out of bounds and threw it all the way. He's done like six of those this season. He is the league leader in throwing across his body in situations that you should not do it, but actually having it work out. And he does it almost every week. You want to talk about the Bengals wide receivers, Max. Keep that same energy for the Titans wide receivers. Can you name, here's a fun game, can you name a Tennessee Titans wide receiver? Well, I know Xavier Strepo made his debut because of the Miami connection.

1:29:23Yeah. Calvin Ridley's hurt. Yes.

1:29:30You got Traylon Burke's not on the team anymore. Correct. I got nothing. I have nothing. Memes, do you have anyone? Is A.O. Meyer hurt? I did not have a catch today. He might be hurt. I'm not going to lie. I didn't watch much of this football game. Nor should you. Yeah. I'm not judging you for this at all. The Titans did have the chance with an onside kick. It was a little bit closer in the end. It wasn't a full, full blowout that people were expecting. But when you're up 16-3 against the Titans, it does feel like you've got him buried. That's why I was impressed by Cam Ward because it did feel like the Seahawks had him in this perfect pin your ears back, just rush the passer for the entire fourth quarter, and Cam Ward did enough.

1:30:16I mean, it doesn't look good ever with the Titans, but he makes it work because, yeah, he has no one to throw to. I think Van Jefferson is the only name that I know on this besides the running backs. Chimera Dike? Yeah, he had a nice punt return for a touchdown. That was big. Titans, every single Titans game has something like that. Like either special teams or pick six or some crazy play. They're a big miscue team. Yeah. Miscues happen in Titans games. College football plays happen in Titans games. I mean, the Titans are looking good now for that first overall pick. They're going to try to trade back.

1:30:52Yeah, they have to. Because, again, Cam Ward looked good today. Yeah. That's all you're hoping for. And Vandy could maybe go to the playoff. Be huge. And Pavia, if he beats Tennessee, who knows? Jeremiah Love is the answer to that. Jeremiah Love should be the Heisman. I think we all can agree as unbiased ball watchers. Jeremiah Love, best player in college football. If it's not going to be Carson Beck, and who knows? Anything can happen. Here you go, Pavia's mom. She's out there doing it. She's just in everything. That's okay. yeah that's okay to have mom she's enjoying the hell out of yeah that are you know making a case for their sons try to protect their sons that's completely normal i don't know if it's same as jayden daniels when she's walking around theo vaughn all the time and doing the heisman pose into a camera drunk in the fourth quarter but hey this could i i what i love about diego pavia is i I think he and his family realized that this might not be an NFL thing.

1:31:57Enjoy the fuck out of what they got going on right now. He's the ultimate college football quarterback. What are you guys laughing about? Share with the class. Oh, you can't share that with the class. Never mind. Wait, wait, let me read it. You can't share that. Do not share that with the class. That's just a mean tweet. Where did you even find that tweet? You guys agreed Jeremiah Love should be the Heisman, right? We can all agree? Yeah. I think his stat line is very impressive. Did you guys keep your bets on him? Did anyone else bet him with me? I didn't bet him. I have Carson Beck. Jeez, I thought we were betting as a whole crew.

1:32:31I said it before the season. I think you said it before the season, and then after the first game, you were like, It's going to be hard. This is dead. Yeah, but then he... I think you asked the class, like, should we bet Jeremiah Love? No, I said we were betting Jeremiah Love. I definitely did. I have Carson Beck. I have Carson Beck. That was not me. I got Bain from Miami. You think I said Carson Beck? You did say Carson Beck because I said. I think that was. What? PFT, I thought you said Carson. You were the Miami guy. No, I said I'm putting a future on Miami. And then you said I think the play is to do Carson Beck-Heisman.

1:33:02Okay. But Jeremiah Love, I know I said it out loud because I have a lot of people in my mentions saying. No, you did. You did. You did. Also, Jalen Daniels. It's still time. No. No, I think what you did is you said Jeremiah Love, but this isn't my official Heisman pick. Okay, all right. I think that's what you said. I bet it. Because you went through a phase of like, this is not my official pick. Okay, got it. Well, I'm going to be talking a lot about Jeremiah Love for the next week. I'll still support that because I don't think that Carson Beck's going to win it. You never know. You never know.

1:33:32He's running out of time. What if Bain has like 10 sacks next week and three touchdowns? I think I do have... I probably did bet a little Carson Beck, but Jeremiah Love was the one I bet before the season. Is Carson Beck even on that first sheet? No. It's not happening. Carson Beck has. I also bet Julian Sain. I bet a little John Mitzian. Oh, so you're totally out on Jeremiah Love. Yeah, that's fair. If you lose one game to Louisville, the writers, they just forget about you for the rest of the year. That's how it works, and Carson Beck's no different. Yeah. Okay, Ravens 23, Jets 10. Jets kind of had them for a half.

1:34:10Jets, they're competing. They are. They're playing hard. Yeah, they haven't lost the locker room yet. This is just an evaluation time for the Jets. The Ravens didn't look good at all. No, they didn't. Lamar looks stinky. I have a question, memes. Question. Is it time to let Brady cook? No. No. No. He's not an NFL quarterback. How do you know that? I'm sure they would have put him in already. Are you? Yes. Do you think the Jets have a commitment to starting the best quarterback at quarterback position this year? Well, Tyrod was hurt at the time. The whole time? For the three weeks they were going to start him, yeah.

1:34:49Okay. All right. I don't know. Tyrod didn't look bad. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. But my thought was just like if you're the Jets, you might as well see what you have, right? No, you need to see what you have elsewhere. Other positions. Yeah. Receiver. Like John Mechie looked great today. We traded for him from the Eagles. He looked good. A.D. Mitchell? A.D. Mitchell looked good. Yep. You also have to evaluate the O.C. Similar to the Mike Kafka play, you have no problem with Aaron Glenn because the game was 10-7 and you went for it on fourth and two on your own 42 and then didn't get it. Ravens go down and score a touchdown.

1:35:25You're fine with that, right? Yeah, I mean, the season's over. Right, you're just trying to see what you got and also go for it on every fourth down. I think if the game mattered, you punt it. Yeah. I think Aaron Glenn would have done that as well. He did that in the first half. Yeah. Yeah, I thought the Jets, like, they hung around. And I don't know. Lamar did not look great. No, he's clearly injured. Yeah. The Ravens are treading water right now. I know. That's why I took away from that. They came back to take the lead in the AFC North. And now I agree with you. Like, I wasn't. We'll see what happens on Thursday Night Football.

1:35:59But the Ravens feel like they got all the way back to 6-5, and things are, at least from a standings-wise, looking good. But are they the Ravens? The Ravens have lost. Yes, they've had a five-game winning streak. We all kind of saw this coming. The prophecy foretold that the Ravens would take over first place. They did. But the teams that they beat, there's a reason why we thought that they would come back. The one outlier, I would say, would be against the Bears. That was a weird game. Yeah. But besides that Bears game, all their losses that they have on the year are to all the good teams that they play.

1:36:36They've yet to beat, besides, I guess, the Bears, a good team. A team that you would lump in that above average category. A team that's currently in the playoffs. Yeah. So we're not going to know for maybe three more weeks. Like three more weeks. Until they play the Patriots. Until they play the Patriots. Yeah, I had the same takeaway, though, Memes. I was like, all right, Ravens won. They kind of sleptwalked the first half, picked it up in the second half, but Lamar did not look crisp at all. No, he was missing a ton of throws. And Zay Flowers looks good. I would probably go running back by committee if I was a Ravens.

1:37:13Oh! I think Derek Henry's time is done. I like that take. What did you see today? I mean, he didn't have – he scored two touchdowns, but it wasn't. He just does nothing, and all the other running backs are at least explosive. You think he finally hit the wall? Because it is going to go like that with him. I feel like. It was like that touchdown he scored against the Lions since then just hasn't. Well, I think this is kind of what Derrick Henry has been. But now you have an injured Lamar. And Derrick Henry, if you have like an explosive Lamar that's running the ball, he's way harder to defend. But you need an explosive Derrick Henry to counteract the injured Lamar.

1:37:52One of them has to be explosive. Yes. If Derrick Henry's explosive, they're money right now. Right. If Lamar's explosive, they're money right now. Correct. And Derrick Henry would probably look better. Correct. But their other running backs look better, too. Yeah. No, you're not wrong. I don't think that the Ravens' offense has been good. I think that they've been way, way below expectation for the last – even their entire winning streak that they've been on. Yeah, Keat Mitchell only had two carries today. He had 10 yards. Derrick Henry's averaging Average three yards of carry today Yeah, just the whole offense doesn't look like He has that pop No, they should probably fire Tom Hunkin Why?

1:38:34I don't know, send him back down to Georgia Be an offensive analysis Oh, interesting Interesting Okay You see there was another Georgia player He was third string Okay So What, is he now going to be first string? He's the next player He's kicked off the team if he was it's just crazy that it happens to georgia like how many how many players that were first string got kicked off the team we're focused on this kid who got at some point you just need to get make an example like yeah unlimited ubers for georgia players there's probably a speed trap down there yeah probably i'm sure that the the police in athens georgia are looking to try to to arrest georgia football players yeah it's probably some soccer geek yeah jealous jealous of kirby i have nothing else on this game i didn't i have to say i didn't i didn't pay much attention this game other than when i saw the ravens on offense like oh lamar just doesn't he just doesn't have that explosiveness that it's like missing something it looks like a little off looks like his powers have been zapped a little bit and it's the injuries i mean the only thing is that this is so much different from any ravens team that we've seen in the last like in the lamar era what do you mean where they haven't been good offensively yeah but they're somehow on top of the division the defense still looks like they're they're back the defense is fully back for the ravens so if lamar can get healthy i think then the ravens can be a scary team in the playoffs yeah but but he's not healthy so i don't know i don't know what he's dealing with right now if it's still the hamstring maybe this is the lamar on thanksgiving is going to be a bad bad scene for all the toilets maybe this is the the way the ravens have to do it where lamar you can't be a disappointment in the playoffs right if you are not playing an mvb caliber level in the regular season right and these are all kind of playoff games right for lamar if he just elevates though when the playoffs do start then it's like whoa yeah did it okay let's take a break we'll talk some afternoon games you got a couple ads pft it's pft here making my irish entrance with proper number 12 irish whiskey how do you make an irish entrance you might ask it starts with a shot of proper number 12 irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends irish exit a party without a story to tell original proper number 12 is a rich smooth blend of golden grain and single malt aged four years in bourbon barrels mixed up with some ginger ale get a classic and refreshing proper ginger if you're in the mood for something smooth but a little bit sweeter try proper irish apple it's a delicious blend of proper's award-winning irish whiskey with crisp fresh notes of apple so get out there make your irish entrance anything else just wouldn't be proper make your irish entrance of proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Cowboys 24, Eagles 21. The largest comeback, tied for the largest comeback in Cowboys history. What a game. Down 21-0 like that. It's crazy. Dak looked off in the first half, had a bad interception in the end zone. Things didn't look to be going too good.

1:42:35Eagles looked awesome, throwing the ball everywhere. Jalen Hurts to A.J. Brown, who was clearly a focus in the first quarter. go up 21 nothing think it's going to be a cruise victory kelly green uniforms and then aj brown was happy yeah feeding him yeah feeding him early he was they were dominating and then something happened because the cowboys through defense which was the best defense the cowboys have played all year in that second half uh through dac and george pickens george pickens was 9 for 9 for 146 yards and a touchdown. So he had 9 targets. He caught 9 balls. He catches everything. And their special teams was really good too for the Cowboys.

1:43:18Special teams was good. Very good. And if I'm watching this game, I'm thinking two things. One, great win for the Cowboys. Great win. Great win. They looked to be out of it. They fought back. The defense looks to be as fixed as the defense can get for the Cowboys. Quinton Williams. Yeah, Quinton Williams and Overstone coming back definitely helps. And then the second thing I thought watching this game was this sucks for the Bears. Oh, big time. Because the Eagles. Big time. If they had won, you could catch them sleeping on Black Friday. Yup. They're going to be wide awake. This is a game that they're going to.

1:43:51No one's taking a day off next week. I don't care if it's Thanksgiving, if anyone has travel. No. You're coming in the office. You're working hard. You're watching extra film if you're the Eagles. So bad. The Chicago Bears are on notice. Oh, yeah. I wanted the Eagles to win this game. I know. I was like, holy fuck. I wanted them to win it easily. Yeah. But what a comeback. Max. Max. Yeah, no, that was pretty bad. That was the... There's a lot of things that... Almost every facet of this game after the first quarter was bad. I love when you take deliberate pauses because you know that you have to watch what you say.

1:44:37Knowing that the deliberate pauses will become less and less. And when you finally say what you want to say, you're going to yell. You're going to get your hands out. He's not going to yell. You're going to get your hands out. You're going to say what you want to say. So say it. The offense looks super bad after the first quarter. You thought you figured something out and you were spamming A.J. Brown. You were spamming Devontae Smith. What everyone wanted you to do for so long now. And then we stopped doing that. I guess we can't run the fucking football, which is a huge fucking problem. I don't know how.

1:45:13It's basically the same offense as last year with almost the same players. And for some reason, last year we were the best rushing team in the history of the NFL. And this year we fucking suck at running the football. and like we would go through this last year like you go up early and then you just use Saquon Barkley and you just end the game like we would just do the thing where when we were when we were up we would just go on 10 minute drives and just end the fucking football game now Saquon Barkley is running for like a yard and a half a carry and I don't know whether it's his fault or I don't know whether the offensive line just sucks but we can't run the football anymore there are so many stupid fucking penalties today.

1:45:54The amount of times that that offense would make a big play, look like they were building something again in the second half, and then there was a stupid fucking penalty which didn't affect the fucking play at all that would bring back a good offensive chunk, and then you're just playing first and 25 the entire fucking time. The penalties are a joke. The run game is a joke. I don't... People keep saying the play calling. I don't watch film. I am not smart at football. Cold card. I don't know where... I don't know what they should be doing. It's their job to figure it out, not my job, but I do know that zero points basically after the first quarter is really fucking bad.

1:46:40If you score some points, you probably win that fucking game. That's true. Let the ball go to the fucking end zone. I said I wasn't going to yell. Let the ball go to the end zone. You let the ball go to the end zone It's so simple You caught the ball at the one yard line And then you fucking fumbled it like a fucking loser Max I think you're not giving yourself enough credit As dumb football fans which we all are I think in some circumstances You gotta just be dumb about it Just say run the football But they can't But they can't run the football But they gotta keep trying You can't give up on it You're giving up on it Because you're afraid AJ Brown's gonna be like Oh the offense is a shit show I don't know if that's the answer.

1:47:22Saquon was 10 for 22 today. 10. 10 for 22. And they were up how much? But they can't run the ball. But they can't run. You've got to keep trying. You've got to keep trying to run the football, Max. But that's insanity. If you can't do it and you keep trying to do it and you can't do it, then that's fucking insanity. Figure out how to do it. That's the answer. Why can't we run the fucking football? We've got to figure out how to run the football. That's what has to be done. It has to be done. This team cannot go anywhere if we're running for 2.2 yards per fucking carry. And we asked so much of the defense.

1:47:55We asked way too much of the defense. Yeah. The Eagles' first three drives had 192 yards, and then the next eight drives in the game they had 107 yards. It just went completely. The last eight drives was four punts, a missed field goal, a fumble, a fumbled punt, and then there was one end of half. is bad. Yeah. But you're 8-3. Doesn't 8-3 feel good? No. No. It feels good for me. How does this feel being 8-3 right now compared to two seasons ago? Not as bad as two seasons ago. No, your defense is still very good. At least we have, like, the defense is very good. It got super banged up today, which sucks, but...

1:48:39I also... I think you do know football because you were saying when you were up 21-0 in the second half, you're like, this is not over. You said out loud, you're like, if anyone's listening to this, like non-Eagles fans, like the live bet of the Cowboys is not a bad bet. Also, just quick observation about, you know, what it looks like when we're watching these games in the cave. Max talked, couldn't stop talking, I think, for the first quarter. Oh, my God. He was the happiest boy you've ever seen. He was making plans. He was joking. asking people about their weekend. His mood just did not stop speaking.

1:49:21It basically was like watching someone on drugs. You watch someone on drugs when the Eagles are winning, and it's like, oh, man, this guy took, like, what did he take? Some mix of, like, ecstasy and Coke and just a lot of beers. And then the second half starts like, oh, shit, did he just do heroin? Like, why isn't he talking anymore? He becomes the small talk king after a win. Oh, what'd you do this weekend? After when he's going up to, like, everybody that could be just, like, Like a custodian that's going through the office emptying the trash being like, hey, what's up? What's your name? Where are you from?

1:49:48You got any kids? That's awesome. He did admit it. He said it, and he caught himself in the middle of the first half. He's like, I'm talking too much. It's because the Eagles are winning. I'm just so happy. And then it just nosedived. Max, do you put any blame on the refs for this game? No. Okay. You got to run the ball. You got to run the ball. You got to just be better. You got to play better football. Play better football. That's every guy. Yeah. Every guy out there. Yeah, the entire team had some sort of blame in this game. Zach Vaughn, I mean, he's got a fucking catch. He made a great play on a ball.

1:50:26Catch a fucking football, dude. It hit you in the face. Max, I got a question for you, too. We love watching football games with you because you're just the most demonstrative guy that we got. Every good thing that happens is the best. Every bad thing that happens is the worst. you contort your body into like little baby forms and you like sit crisscross applesauce and you start screaming it's great i i love what you're very entertaining to watch can you walk me through um you pulling your heels over your head and grabbing your ankles as you're about to get decked down i i said it looked like you were getting into the stirrups at like an objen it was just that's what you looked like you just spread you just spread them for some reason i i wasn't sure what that was about but when it happened me and big cat I just looked at each other like, I love Max.

1:51:09You're so flexible. Yeah, it's crazy. You're a big baby. And I mean that in a nice way. I don't know. I don't think about anything. It's just like an involuntary reaction to everything that I do. That's big game Max. Yeah. He does that. You're spitting everywhere. I'm always spitting. You're always spitting. Are you yelling at Meek? Yeah. Well, Meek deserves it. He does. He absolutely deserves it. He deserves that and more. the Cowboys Cowboys are good the Cowboys are good that offense is electric George Pickens again 9 targets 9 catches he catches everything they can run the ball CD still has a couple weird drops a game but they're just matchup problems everywhere Jake Ferguson and then their defense which was one of the worst in the league Quinton Williams gets traded for Did Jerry do it again or did Jerry do it again?

1:52:07Because since Quinton Williams has joined the Cowboys, their run defense has allowed 30 carries for 90 rushing yards. That's pretty damn good. Just one of those 30 runs gone for 10-plus yards. They have – they're doing something right, and they're not out of it, which is crazy to say. Like the Cowboys are – they have a tough game against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day, but the Cowboys are absolutely not out of the playoff hunt, and everyone thought they were one of the worst teams, especially after that Cardinals loss on Monday Night Football, and here they are. And Brian Schottenhammer, you see the postgame locker room.

1:52:46He's got these boys believing. It's crazy. I did not think the Cowboys would be back in it like this. No, I didn't either. You're right. It's Quinton Williams and Oversone getting back, and the defense has just changed now. I don't know if Iberflues is doing anything different from a scheme perspective, but with those two dudes in, it does seem like if the Cowboys can have that average defense, they can be a very, very scary team because the offense is not going anywhere. Dak is playing maybe the best that he's ever played throughout his career, and just having Pickens as an option downfield is a cheat code for him.

1:53:21So looking at the Cowboys' schedule, the problem is in the NFC, The NFC might be a league where 10 wins doesn't get you into the playoffs, which is crazy to say, but it's pretty crowded. That tie. That tie. So they have the Chiefs and Lions the next two games. If they go one and one there and they can win, the last four games are very like four winnable games. Vikings at home, Chargers at home, At Commanders at Giants. That could be a, what, 10, 6, and 1 team? Yeah. I don't know if it will be enough to get in. I think they can do it. If they stay healthy, I think they can do it. Yeah, I mean, their offense keeps them in every game, and now that they have a defense that can actually play, it's...

1:54:05You got dacked. You got dacked. You got dacked. I would not want to play the Cowboys in the playoffs. He wanted to throw that second pick so bad. So bad. Just catch the fucking football. So bad. He almost threw three. He got 12 men on the field. Max, does this make you think back on the Kelly Green on the road idea? You guys looked cool. It started off like it was like Kelly Green saved the season. You're 8-3. When it started off like they saved the offense. Saved the offense is what I meant to say. You're 8-2 going into this game. I meant to say offense. Are you panicked at all? No. What happens if you lose on Friday to the Bears?

1:54:45I'll be there. So if I lose, I might not come home. I might just live in the stadium. You'll probably get that arranged. Yeah. You probably know somebody. I mean, seven-point favorites got to win that game. Big Dom looked good watching Tom Brady and A.J. Brown throw the ball. They looked like they had a great time pregame. Yeah. Are you going to see Big Dom on Friday? I don't know. I haven't spoken to him. Brady looked good. Did he? Are you a little nervous He activated A.J. Brown He activated A.J. Brown A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith I'm going to say this I'm sure someone will say you're way wrong But I think they're the two coolest Cleet wearers in the NFL Every game they got a new pair of cleats That one catch from Devontae Smith was so fucking sick Yeah That first quarter was so awesome The offense was so back I was like I was like soupy.

1:55:52We're going back-to-back soupy. The offense is fixed. The defense is elite. Best team ever. And then just absolute fucking dog shit. That's when you were chit-chatting, asking, you know, like, how's your sister doing? How's your mom doing? Oh, yeah, you got a new dog? Oh. You making anything for Thanksgiving? Yeah. I'm making stuffing. Yeah. Oh, what do you do with your stuffing? Oh, here's what I got in my recipe. None of these conversations existed. You know, one conversation. We did have one conversation that did exist, Max. At the end of the first half, I was like, that's a bad touchdown. You guys just gave up to the Cowboys.

1:56:28That's going to haunt you. And then you poo-pooed me a little bit. You poo-pooed? Yeah, you poo-pooed. What did I say? Did you do any poo-pooing? You were like, yeah, obviously I wish that we didn't give up a touchdown there. Nice job, genius. No, you just. All you said was. All you said was I bet you wish you didn't give up that touchdown Well I would bet that Yes it was like the most obvious It was a magic You just did Magic Johnson You did Magic Johnson in my face You were like giving up touchdowns are bad Did you poo poo? He poo pooed me No I agreed with you I was like yes I would prefer not to give up touchdowns In a sarcastic way It was very sarcastic he was like okay genius And then I was like alright so who gets the ball in the second half and Max was like, we do.

1:57:16Bet you wish that I had said the Cowboys do. That's true. And I was like, okay, Magic Johnson, no shit. No, but the way that you asked, you were like, oh. Listen, Max, I don't like the Eagles or the Cowboys. Second largest blown lead in team history. I didn't have a dog in that fight, Max. It was tied for the largest comeback by the Cowboys ever. Wow. It's crazy. It's a crazy game. You just needed three more points. I mean, not technically, no. Technically no, but still it felt like if you had hit it. Less poo-pooing and three more points. You even got a Brennan Aubrey missed field goal. But we also missed a field goal.

1:57:53Right, but Brennan Aubrey doesn't miss field goals. Jake Elliott doesn't miss field goals either. Brennan Aubrey doesn't miss field goals more. All right. Gotcha there. Checkmate. Gotcha there. Yeah, so Max, how do you fix the ground game? I don't know. We've established that you have to do something different. But you have injuries on the offensive line. I'd say that's probably part of it. It's a Lane Johnson set. But even with Lane, we haven't been running the ball all year. We can't run the football. I don't know the answer. I am not a coach. I am not a smart football guy. They need to figure it out because it's got to be figured out or else this team's, I mean.

1:58:28And it's their job. They have to figure it out. It's literally their job to figure it out. They got to figure it out. You got to press the button. They got to fucking run the football. Yeah. We all got jobs to do. Yeah. What are you going to say, Mims? Tank Bigsby. Oh, interesting. More Tank? Tank is good. Trade for Tank Bigsby. He does have explosive runs when he is in. Do you give him more carries? Do you think Jalen Hurts played well today? I mean, Jalen Hurts can't fucking win. Jalen Hurts. No, I'm asking. I think he played fine. I thought he was fine. And he had a bunch of big plays that got called back for penalties that...

1:59:08I don't know. There's penalties that I don't know what they're happening while they're happening, but they are, like, ineligible, being marked as ineligible and then lining up against a receipt. I don't know what any of that shit means, but I do know that it doesn't fucking affect the play, so stop doing stupid shit like that that take back big plays. That's what I'm talking about. It's not like a holding that stops a sack. That's what I'm saying. It's stupid shit like that. 12 men on the field because you just Some guy's late getting off that takes an interception It's so stupid But I don't You figure it out That's all I have to say You figure it out You guys They have to figure it out It's not your job It's not my job I don't know You're doing your job right now You're telling them to figure it out I guess Yeah, this is technically my job You are doing your job By the way, Dak Prescott passed Tony Romo For most passing yards in Cowboy franchise history I love that Good for Dak That's pretty cool He was lights out.

2:00:05I mean, he was trying to throw another pick. Can I say something off the record? Yeah, please. Off the record. Dak's kind of win me over this year. He is. I'm starting to feel like a little bit bad about just hating Dak Prescott. And I don't like that feeling. I want to continue to hate him. I want to continue to have all the anti-Cowboys bias in the entire world. But he's playing so good. And he seems like such a good dude besides when he was on the show. I'm having a hard time keeping the hate up. He kept trying to throw picks today. Do you know what it was? He just kept trying to throw picks.

2:00:39He's not only playing really well this year, but we also having Zach Martin in studio, and Zach Martin is the man. He's saying that Dak is, yeah. He vouched for Dak and was like, I bet you if you came back on, you'd have a good time. Yeah. It's Zach Martin's fault. Why'd you do that to us, Zach? I don't like it. Zach made us like Dak. I got to get my hate back up for Dak. I don't feel like myself without it. I need Hank to start rooting for him again. Max, what do you think about this Dak love that's going on right now? I mean he tried to fuck this game up a million times Yeah, he did. That was a bad throw.

2:01:19Yeah, I mean, he got fucking bailed out for a guy, 12 men on the field doing shit. Maybe he knew there was 12 men on the field. That's why he threw it. But that would make sense if it was like a deep ball. No, I know. He was getting hit. He was getting hit. Then throw it away. Well, no, because there's a flag, so you might as well throw it. Just throw it. Throw it? What is that even? There's a flag. You never know. There's a flag. But that wasn't even a... It's kind of a savvy move, but you might as well just see what happens. What about this one? That one, your guy's got to catch that ball. Yeah.

2:01:50Zach Bond's got to catch that. He threw it right fucking to him. I mean, he tried to do big stupid Dak picks all game, and we just weren't doing them. It literally hit Zach Bond in the face. Are you worried that people are saying that Big Game Max does not have it anymore? I've only had big games. The Eagles have only been in big games this year. That's true. That's facts. Is Black Friday a big game? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big Gay Max versus Big Gay Dan. The game's at 2 o 'clock. That's just not true. The game is at 2 o 'clock. That just changed Max's home. No, it's not. You think that Black Friday games are at night because it's Black Friday.

2:02:32The game, I will be at the game. It'll be 3 o 'clock where I am. Okay, we're talking about the time here where we're sitting right now. It's at 2 o 'clock. But what is the difference between an hour? It's the only fucking game. Yeah, so it's a big game. I just asked. You don't understand big games. You play Mitchell Tinsley, dude. That was your big game today. There's a good chance. You played Joe Flacco. You played the duo of Joe Flacco and Mitchell Tinsley and won by six. You were begging to lose that game. Joe Flacco has as many Super Bowls as Jalen Hurts. Joe Flacco is 65 years old. He wasn't going to yell.

2:03:13I merely You're He's He's right You're not Good luck on Monday Night Football Against the Two You fucking piece of shit Wait Wait That's a big game It's a solo game Right That's the argument That's a big game Two playoff teams Yeah Big game The Eagles are Eight and three They're playing an eight and three team Say their name And it's the only game Say their name It's a bear Seven point Wait so was today a big game Well, I mean, it's Cowboys-Eagles. It was the big game of the week. You have a winning record. It's big game max. The Cowboys would smoke you guys right now. Oh, shit. If you were a man, you'd set it up.

2:03:58Anybody, time anywhere. Get that fucking thing on the schedule. Let's get a neutral field line. Cowboys-Patriots. I don't know how to do that. I got my... Well, you just say a number. Oh. I'm going to say the Cowboys will be favored by one and a half points. No, I think the Patriots will be favored. Two points? Two and a half points? I like the Jackson. It'll be under a field goal. Or is that Max looking it up on AI? You're thinking AI is going to give it to us? Here, I'll text one of my guys. I'll text one of my guys. You do have the Raiders in two weeks, Max. Then Big Game Max can take a break off for a week.

2:04:45Yeah, but even then, the Bears this week and then the Chargers week after, that's not a gimme. The Raiders will be nice. If we lose to the Raiders, then I just quit. You quit? Yeah. What do you quit? Everything. You can't lose that game. Okay, I'll get us an answer. That's not a big game.

2:05:18That's Cowboys. Patriots would be favored. Eagles. Patriots would be favored. I think they would be favored. On a neutral field. Who have they? Do they have any common opponents? But the Cowboys are better now than they were. They're different. Of course, I'm just trying to go. I'm just trying to. I don't even think they have any neutral. Do they play the Steelers this year? Did the Cowboys? Yeah. The Cowboys did not. You're thinking of last year. Hank, tell me. See, the Cowboys have played a lot of really good teams, so I don't know that they'd have any common. Oh, they played the Jets. They did play the Jets.

2:05:54They beat the Jets 37-22. What was your score against the Jets? Not 15. The Cowboys beat them by more. Yeah. Okay. That weird different team. Yeah, true. Have you played the card you're saying? Worse? Memes went up to Zach tonight and asked him if they fucked for the worst team on the podcast. Oh! I got one. I actually have a common opponent. So this is actually good because it's the recent Cowboys. The Cowboys beat the Raiders 33-16. Hank, how much did you beat the Raiders by? Oh, we actually lost by the Raiders. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah.

2:06:37I'm going to get a number for us. I'm going to get a number for us. All right, let's go to the next game. Browns 24, Raiders 10. Shadassi. Shadassi. Shadassi was the Shadassi game. Great 60-yard throw by Shadassi. And then an awesome 66-yard touchdown pass by Shadur Sanders. Yep. Yes, it was a screen pass, but Shadur hit him in stride against all odds, scoring a touchdown. He also said before the game, I'm who they've been looking for. He said that before the game. Before the game, he said, I'm who they've been looking for. They asked him what he wants to show Cleveland fans. I'm who they've been looking for.

2:07:17Then after the game, he said, imagine what a full offseason looks like. It gets dangerous. Okay. He said this was one week of practice. Imagine what a full offseason looks like. It gets dangerous. I have a real take here. Yeah. Miles Garrett should be the MVP. if he breaks the all-time sacks record, which it looks like he's on pace to break slash smash it, shatter that. He had three sacks today. He's had 14 sacks in his last three games. Is that correct? His last four games. 14 in his last four games? Yeah. That can't be right, is it? I know he has 18 right now. He has 18. I know he had four last week, so yeah, maybe it is.

2:08:03He had one against the Jets. and then he had four so that's probably not right then i probably misread that stat somewhere either way he's he so that was he has now hit his career high in sacks but i there's six games left the take overall stands i feel like he should get mvp consideration so no no you just said he should win mvp well you can't walk that back i think right to stop for the take you can't walk it back say with your chest if he ends the season with if he gets uh what 20 let's say 25 sacks yeah that would smash it that would be smashing it he should be the mvp if he gets 24 probably should still be be the mvp if you compare the last defensive mvp which is lawrence taylor he had 20 and a half sacks in 16 games five passes defended two forced fumbles those were of stats when he won the MVP.

2:08:57Granted, he was on crack when he did that, which is like an added level of expertise. If Miles Garrett does all this on the Browns, that's equivalent to Lawrence Taylor doing it on crack. Yeah. Dave, I mean, he's insane. He has, you were right. So he has 14, no, no, yeah, 14 sacks. Let me see. I'm bad at numbers. He had 14 sacks the last five games. 14 in the last five. Five games. In the last five games. Pretty incredible run that he's on right now. Just dominant. Geno was sacked ten times. Geno's not good, but it wasn't just Geno not being good. It was Myles Garrett just being in his – the entire defense.

2:09:37Myles Garrett got Chip Kelly fired. He got fired right after the game. They're like, yeah, we got to get rid of Chip Kelly. Do you think Tom Brady was consulted on that? He might have been the one who fired. Was Tom Brady – was he going to the airport? They probably sent him a text. They're like, hey, Geno got sacked ten times. There's a good chance that Tom didn't watch the game because he was commentating on the Eagles-Cowboys game. And then he got on a private jet to leave and then fired Chip Kelly from 40 ,000 feet in the air. He drone-striked him. I think the Raiders are the worst team in the NFL.

2:10:13They're definitely the toughest watch. I think they're the worst team in the NFL. Their two wins are against the Titans and the Patriots. They have lost. So they won against the Patriots week one. They've had one win since, and it's not as bad as the Titans are. The Titans are moving the ball a little bit. They're not in the game, but kind of in the game for a little bit. The Raiders are just getting statistically dominated every which way, every single game. I mean, they had that one game against the Jaguars where they were close, and obviously that Thursday night game against the Broncos, which was ugly, but they also had that 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.

2:10:52They got smoked by the Cowboys. This game was not of, I mean, it's 24-10, but it was against a guy who'd never started in the NFL, and the Browns have never won with a quarterback having their first start for the Browns, and they got dominated. Geno Smith was just sacked 10 times. 10 times. He got hit 20 times. It's crazy. Yeah, it was not good. The Browns' defense is awesome. Imagine the Browns having a halfway competent offense for a season. They would be a legitimate team. That's all they need. And now Stefanski says he is not committing to a starter for next week yet. Oh, they got to commit to Shador.

2:11:32But you just got to keep it rolling with Shador. Yeah. The confidence he has and the way he talks, you would have thought he threw for 450 yards. You need somebody. And had like a perfect game. You need somebody like Shador. Or somebody that is just completely, irrationally overconfident in himself. Yeah, he said, a lot of people want to see me fail. It ain't going to happen. He is right. A lot of people want to see him fail. I love Shadort and the fact that he is just the amount of takes on both sides is so, so awesome. We need someone like this. He has a lightning rod. He's great. He's great.

2:12:06And then Dion up there with his big-ass cowboy hat in the stands. That was nice to watch. Yeah, what was it? The last 17? quarterbacks who've made their first starts for the browns went winless and then chador broke the yep eric zire in 1995 was the last time a browns quarterback won his first career nfl start that's pretty good browns that's nuts and then they showed the graphic on the screen of like the browns starting quarterbacks since whenever 45 and the total number of united states presidents 45. Listen, Browns fans, you know this. Cleveland is a punching bag. All the jokes coming at the quarterback position.

2:12:49When you have somebody that wins a football game, you gotta... You can't then take that person out until they lose. Yeah. No, you can't. You can't. You have to keep... Let him keep playing football until he loses a game and then you can have the conversation. But whatever happened today, you need that exact same thing to be the next product you see out on the field until you're proven that it can't win. Yeah, and listen, the Browns, they nailed their draft. Their draft, I mean, Mesa Graham is awesome. Schlesinger might be the rookie of the year. Fannin has been good. Isaiah Bond has been good.

2:13:25Dylan Sampson has been good. They're getting contributions from everyone they drafted. The Browns are They're just a quarterback And maybe it's not Shador But maybe it's Shador For now it's Shador It'd actually be great if Shador played pretty well For the rest of the season Went about 500 And then next year You bring somebody else in to be quarterback And then everyone gets to demand that Shador plays again Because he's going to get better The more you keep him on the bench In the fan base's eyes Did you see who was on the sideline today? I did. Sean Watson. I did. He's back. He's traveling with the team.

2:14:02He might be back. How about this Jerry Judy play, though? Yeah. So stupid. That dot down the field that Shador threw. And then Judy starts skipping. I don't know what he was doing. I have no idea. He started to skip down the field, and he lands from a skip, which was a great skip, and gets the ball punched out. What is going on? Yeah. Can somebody explain to me what Jerry Judy was doing? Does anybody have any guesses? I have no idea. I don't think he knew the guy was behind him. No, I don't. He was ready to make a move. No, he was trying to evade him. He 100 % didn't know the guy was behind him.

2:14:34I was saying he was ready to make a move. Oh. Not knowing there was a guy running behind him. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, he was doing a skip to then do a cut. He was going to go up the sideline, I think. But there's three guys there. Yeah, I know. I don't know why he started skipping. He had no idea the guy was behind him, but Hank's right. He was going to do a quick skip and then try to bolt down the sideline. Or cut to the inside, maybe? Yeah. I don't know. It looked like he was just happy. He was overcome with joy during the play. Like, oh, shit, we're throwing the ball downfield. I caught a pass.

2:15:04I get a question. So there's been a lot of talk about Bill Belichick this year. There has. And his situation at UNC, he's in a better spot than Pete Carroll.

2:15:26Belichick's teams have been competitive. He's got the love of his life. He gets to go to cheerleading. Competitive in what sense? UNC's been very competitive. They're not bowl eligible. No, I know. They've been in almost every single game. They've actually played pretty decent football. Their offense stinks. But no, if you've been watching UNC, they have been covering spreads, almost winning games. They almost beat Virginia. Should have beaten Virginia. They are a lot better in the second half of the season. They've gotten better. They're the definition of competitive in these games. He's got the love of his life.

2:16:03Chapel Hill, probably a very nice place. Gets to wear Carolina blue. Pete Carroll is coaching. He's same eight, 70s. I don't know if it is awesome living in Vegas in your 70s, and his team is dog shit. I think that, first of all, we need to put some respect on Jordan's name. I know that there was a lot of discussion about Jordan and her adult cheerleading competition that she was in. We also need to acknowledge the fact that they are world champions. That this is like a very, this is an elite adult cheerleading squad that she has somehow become a part of. What are you playing me for? You were poo-pooing.

2:16:42I wasn't poo-pooing. Well, I poo-pooed a lot. We were poo-pooing a little bit. Poo-pooed hard. A little bit. Really hard poo-pooing. We didn't know that there was such a thing as adult cheerleading at the time. I think if she didn't have the hair in that cheerleading episode. Oh, and she's suing Pablo Torre, too, she says. The hair is what... The discovery in that lawsuit is going to make... Yeah, you know what? I'm going to keep poo-pooing. I'm going to keep poo-pooing that part. I can't wait for the discovery process. I will say she's been very funny online recently. Very funny. She has. She's leaning into it.

2:17:14There was also that report that maybe the other members of the Belichick family weren't super happy. that maybe one of them laid into Jordan after the game. I'm just saying, love, love. But back to the question. I think Pete Carroll's living a worse life right now. I think he's just... How can you be happy? His team is terrible. They're very bad. He could have just retired. I think that Vegas wouldn't be the worst place in the world for an older person to live. I think it's too loud. There's a lot of golf around. Well, you don't have to go down to the Strip. They have buffets, like dinner buffets that start at 4 p.m.

2:17:50Get the early bird special. A lot of shows you can go to. Too loud. Bingo everywhere. To visit, yes. To live. I don't know. I just thought. I was just thinking about it. I think if Pete Carroll was dating a 24-year-old, we would have similar laughing at. Because the team, again, UNC is playing better football than the Raiders are. That's a fact. The Raiders are big-time bummers to watch, and they got rid of all their good wide receivers. It just feels like they don't – this is going to be like a tear down to the absolute studs. I know. I feel bad for Max Crosby. Put Max Crosby on the Browns. Imagine that.

2:18:32That'd be fun. That'd be so fun. Build the entire team out of defense. Yeah, just never let the other team score. Hey, Brock Bowers. Brock Bowers, you say, hey, Brock Bowers, we're really sorry how this is going. We're going to try to fix it. please be patient because you're the only thing we have right now. And Ashton Gentry is just – the offensive line is not fair to Ashton Gentry, but he is just – it's just not there right now. I mean, the offensive line is bad. The Raiders should almost consider just shutting Ashton Gentry down. All right, I got an answer. Okay. Patriots, Cowboys. My friend Colin Wilson from the Action Network said, Patriots by two on a neutral.

2:19:13Pretty good. Yeah. Am I sharp? No. I don't know. No, you said... Not even close. You said Cowboys favorite. You're as round as a fucking son. Oh, yeah, you're right. I said, you were the one who said Cowboys. Yeah. You're a globe. I'm a globe? I am the world. What can I say? That was crazy. I think you're the only one who said Cowboys. Yeah, I forgot what side I took for a second. I would bet the fuck out of the Cowboys. You went so hard. Big time. Recency bias on the Cowboys comeback. You're like, they'd be favored over the Patriots. And also just can't – I mean, I guess technically if there's like an emergency, but there are no neutral fields in the NFL.

2:19:52Well, I mean, Super Bowl. Or just any – What about the entire international series? Or any of the other fields. Yeah. All right, it was stupid, stupid, stupid. Yeah, you could just play any field. Hank's going to get the game on the books. So we're going to play the game. So he's going to get the game. Yeah, I'm excited. He's going to play in Vegas. They should play in Vegas, like a bowl game, like just take the Raiders off the schedule. Mm-hmm. And let other teams play there. Yeah, the Raiders are very much in the, I do not want to see them play football anymore at camp. Throw them in there with the Titans.

2:20:19Titans, I still, Cam Ward every now and then will do something like, ooh, that's fun. Raiders do nothing fun. Nothing at all. Zero. Okay. Next game, Jaguars at Cardinals. Try as he might. So, Jaguars won 27-24. Try as he might. Trevor Lawrence really, really wanted to throw this game away. Four interceptions. Some bad ones. Every time I looked up, it was just another. I thought he had three. It was a three? I thought it felt like four. I think one of the picks counted as a fumble. Okay. Because it got, like, stripped out as he was trying to throw. Okay, so four turnovers. He just, every time I looked up, he was throwing an interception.

2:20:53And then he comes back and he throws that incredible ball to Parker Washington for the go-ahead, for the lead late in the fourth. Cardinals come down and tie it. But that was a throw. You're like, oh, that's why you keep coming back, throwing him open. but it was I gotta give credit to Jaguars staying resilient after again it's gotta be so demoralizing to have those type of turnovers to keep the Cardinals in the game they win the game though the Jaguars are 7-4 they're live in the AFC South they're playing decent football I'm gonna say decent yeah they're playing tough football this is the Liam Cohn let it rip edition of Trevor Lawrence he's letting it rip I actually think that Trevor Lawrence is kind of a bummer to watch when he's not letting it rip.

2:21:41But when he is, he's so much fun. He's liable to have some weird fumbles, throw really stupid picks. But also when he's not scared or overthinking things, he will do crazy shit that works too. Because he's still a very talented dude physically. He's fast when he wants to be. He can move laterally when he wants to. He's got a cannon on his shoulder. He just needs to stop thinking and just let it rip. and when that happens, good things tend to happen for the Jaguars. He did let it rip into a linebacker a couple times. That's what happens when he lets it rip. He lets it rip. He lets it rip. The turnovers with Trevor I don't think cost you as much as the upside for the incredible throws that he can make when he's letting it rip.

2:22:25You're going to get some turnovers and there will be some bad games. I don't know. This game tested that theory big time. There will be some bad moments. There will be some bad games. But when Trevor is truly letting it rip, I think the good slightly outweighs the bad, and it's more exciting. So that's why I want him to let it rip more. The Cardinals, speaking of let it rip, are just saying, hey, Jacoby Brissett, you just throw it a million times a game, which I guess is a strategy. They're not going to win. They can't really run the football. Yeah, that's Jacoby Brissett. We said it. He's, in theory, a great backup, and then he gets in, and he might win a game, and then he starts losing games.

2:23:00Yep. But it can look good at times because he can run an offense. He threw it 49 times today. He keeps just – I don't know what Jonathan – I don't really know what the Cardinals are doing other than just let's finish this season. Yeah, so you know what's crazy is I mentioned this during the Boomers, but the Jaguars have now won three games in Pacific time this year. Going into this season, I believe their grand total of wins on Pacific time was four. Ever? Let me see what this stat was. Wait. This was a sad... Phoenix isn't Pacific time, though, is it? I believe that it is. I don't think it is.

2:23:43Arizona always gets weird because of daylight savings. This is a stat. Before the season, the Jags were 4-16. They're on MST. The Jaguars were 4-16 all-time in West Coast games, 3-0 this year. That's good. 3-0. But they had won four total of those games in their entire existence as a franchise until this season. In Pacific time. Yeah, this game was not in Pacific time. Okay, so this was... Mountain time. Mountain time. So the stat was wrong. But I guess you can just call Phoenix West Coast. It's close enough. Not Pacific time. You could. Yeah. You'd be wrong, but you could. Yeah. It's West Coast.

2:24:23It's not. West of the Rockies. It's definitely not. It's West of the Rockies. So they should put it in Pacific time then. They should. They should call like Ohio the East Coast? They should. They should call it Hank's Wright. What? They should call it Pacific time. Arizona needs to make up their mind. They do do weird shit with - No, they do. Yeah. So sometimes of the year it is. But right now it's mountain time. But right now it's not. Right now it's not. Yeah, wait. What do they do? I don't know. Are they always mountain time now? They're always mountain time. I think sometimes it's just two hours ahead.

2:24:54Sometimes it's three hours ahead. Well, then that wouldn't be mountain time. Yeah. Once again, this show is really dumb. We're not a time zone show. Time zones are tough. We're not a time zone show. Time zones are tough. The bottom line is that the Jaguars have sucked when they travel west for their entire existence. Now they don't necessarily suck. When daylight saving time is in effect, the time zones shift and Mountain Pacific time move forward one hour. What does forward mean? Does that mean that they would be Pacific or does that mean they would be central? The ultimate joke is on us. Every time we joke about the time change, you have to remember that we're actually the ones that the joke is on because we don't fucking know shit.

2:25:33They're currently. Oh, so they're currently absorbing Mountain Standard Time. Yeah, it's only. Yeah, that's what Max was saying. So I guess in the fall. Well, no, we're in the fall. No, but like earlier in the fall, if they played in Arizona. Well, we haven't changed the clocks yet. It would be Pacific Time. I think in the spring. He's shaking his head. We change the clocks this next weekend? It's always the Saturday after Thanksgiving? I think... Wait, wait, hang on. What time is it in Phoenix? It says it right there. Yeah, I already did it. 9.55, yeah. Wait, that's one hour. Yeah, yeah, that's one hour.

2:26:09Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then ours would change too, so they wouldn't recognize our time. What? What? No, I, like... No, I don't think it's... Go ahead. When we do change the clocks, whether that be next week or in the spring. They don't. They don't. Yeah. So they become Pacific. They're trans-Pacific. Yes. They always stay the same. They're past. No, but we change. Yeah, we change. Arizona doesn't. But then Pacific changes too. Yeah, Pacific changes into Arizona. Are we sure that they don't change? Are you saying the clock runs through AZ? March to November, they have the same time as California.

2:26:54Yeah. November to March, they're the same time as Denver. Okay, here we go. They're POC time. Half Pacific. Except for the Navajos. Don't get it. The Navajo Nation does not observe daylight savings. They remain on Mountain Standard Time all year. I thought they don't. I thought. No, the Navajo Nation does not observe daylight savings. I thought the whole state doesn't observe daylight savings. No, the Navajo Nation does not. All right, let's go to the next game. So in conclusion, the Jaguars... No, Arizona also does not observe daylight savings. With the exception that... Oh, Navajo does. Navajo does observe daylight savings.

2:27:35Yeah, you were wrong. I'm reading it here. I'm sorry.

2:27:41People are going to either love this part or hate this part of the podcast. I'm going to guess... It's probably a lot of love. Just really a lot of love. Send this to the Golden Globes. This was the last, yeah. I think this is episode number four of the football season where we just devolve into 10 minutes yelling about time zones, getting mad at clocks. I did like Liam Cohn saying we're not going to apologize for winning around here. Good. No one should apologize for winning. It's a hard league to win in. It doesn't matter how it looks. It can be bad. It can look gross. Don't apologize for winning ever, ever.

2:28:12It would be funny if a coach did one day just being like, hey, I'm sorry about that, guys. We actually suck. Sorry, we won. Yeah, that was a bad win. We just keep winning even though we suck. Yeah, but the Jaguars, they're in it, man. They're in it. Seven and four. And they have the – And they've got – do they technically control their own destiny? Yeah, because they play the Colts twice, and I think the Colts have to play the Texans twice as well. Yeah. So they're very much in it. They have the Titans this week. Oh, yeah, wow. So the Jaguars, Hank. is live. I know. The Jaguars play the Titans twice and the Jets.

2:28:51And then they have two games against the Colts and the Broncos. So they have three games that they should conceivably win and these are the Jaguars. I know Jaguars fans are listening right now being like, do not say any game is a given win. But they have the Titans twice and the Jets and then three hard games and if they can go two and one in those, that could be a 12-win team. Jaguars. Jaguars isn't pretty. They should win 10. Good for the Jaguars. And let Trevor rip, right? Let him rip. Let him rip. I think Trevor needs to be reminded of that because he does get in his own head a lot. Yeah, there was a moment in the game where I was like, I don't know what's going on.

2:29:31Because they did feel like they should have put the Cardinals away easily and then they just kept letting him back in the game. Yeah, it's not pretty when he lets it rip sometimes, but that's okay. I think the biggest dumb picks guys that we got are Justin and Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, and maybe Dak, but not today. No. They dropped most of his dumb picks today were dropped. They really tried. Okay, last game in the afternoon slate, Falcons 24, Saints 10. I don't got a lot in this game except for Kirk Cousins. Looked good. He's back. The dot talk to Darnell Mooney. That was a nice pass. Beautiful pass.

2:30:07Blake Groupie's got to get off the Saints. That guy stinks. Or at least, like, him and Zion need to switch nutritionists. It's crazy, man. He's so bad. He just misses every kick. And the Falcons' defense was good. Like, the Falcons' defense, I know that they were going against Tyler Shuck, who is, oh, pug with the water refills, who's a rookie quarterback. But the Falcons' defense, they just kept on getting pressure with four. They were forcing turnovers. But it felt like the game was when the Kamara fumble, the handoff, Tyler Shukta's Kamara fumble happened early in the game. He was like, okay, this is going to be one of those Saints games.

2:30:45And then they had the snap over Taysom Hill's head on the goal line. When we do our bad owners, we're going to put what's his name on there. Who owns the Saints? That would be Miss, what's her name? Terry. Yeah, Miss Terry. Miss Benson. Miss Benson. Miss Benson. She's a bad owner. Bad owner. I got a question for you, Big Cat. Gail Benson. You're on the clock, Gail. This offseason. Yeah. Is Kirk Cousins going to get a contract somewhere? Or is he going to retire? I think he's going to retire. Well, it depends on what he wants to do. Yeah. If he wanted, let's say - I can see him being a backup somewhere.

2:31:23Let's say, hypothetically, Kirk wants to keep playing. Yeah. You could do worse for backups. You could do a lot worse for a backup. Yeah. I don't know if he wants to be one. He was good today. I'm happy that he had today. He is now at, I believe he's at like$320 million in career earnings. That's so sick. Through the end of the season. That's so sick. Can we get him up to 330? Yeah. He, yeah, I mean, he is a, well, he might stay on the Falcons. I mean, Michael Penix is, you have to say he has injury history. Like he does. Did he tear his ACL? Partially torn. Okay. So if they wanted to keep him, his cap hit would be$57 million.

2:32:07So my guess is they probably won't. They can cut him. So they re-sign him. It's a better deal. Cut him and then re-sign him. Yeah, they could. They could try to do that. They could say, hey, let's renegotiate. Would you like to take$30 million less than what we originally planned to pay you? And if he says yes, then okay, sign here, Kirk. But my guess is he's probably going to be cut. And then I'm curious to see if he gets another contract. If he wants to keep playing. Well, I mean, if he wants to keep playing, like, gosh, you and I would sign him for a backup. He's been dreaming about him. Yeah.

2:32:37He's been dreaming. The Jets should, they should sign him. But good for the Falcons. They were, they obviously had lost a lot in a row and they don't like the Saints. Saints are a bummer. Saints are a bummer. They're in that category as well. Titans, Raiders, bummer. This is what Cap Hell looks like. Yep. If you're a winning team and you say, you know what? I'm okay. Let's do Cap Hell so that we can try to win now and extend this little window that we have. This Saints team, as it currently is constructed, this is a window into your future that you should look at and think, do I really want to do this?

2:33:11Yep. Okay, last game. We're at the point in the season, by the way, I feel like Falcons and Saints fans don't care that we don't talk about them for more than two minutes. We're going to get to the point in the season where it's like there's some of these games we're just going to have to breeze through. I'm happy for Falcons fans, though, to get a win. Although, do they want to win? I think they want to win. You want to be so embarrassing. I think a lot of them would rather lose so they fire the coach. Oh. But the Rams have their first pick. Oh. So, yeah, then they should definitely want to win.

2:33:41Yeah, win. Yeah. Sunday Night Football. The Rams are the best team in the NFL. Does anyone disagree? Nope. Nope. I don't know who would make the case for any other team. Patriots? Right now. No. They are. They absolutely. It was like a 15-minute game. 17-minute game. It was over. It was just over. And Baker got hurt, which sucks. But that was Matthew Stafford was lights out, and then he just didn't have to play the second half. He was. What did he start? He started the game. Like, I don't think he had a. He started the game some ridiculous. Do you have it, Zach? No, I'm top of my head, but Matthew Stafford is just a weapon.

2:34:27He's so good. They haven't played a competitive game in so long. And they've beaten – their two losses are the block kick with the Eagles and they lost to the Niners when they fumbled on the one-yard line. Remember when they were down 23-20? They ended up going to overtime, but he fumbled on the – Kyron Williams fumbled on the one-yard line. Yes, you could obviously play that game with the Colts too because the Colts had A.D. Mitchell drop the ball and everything, but they're just better than everyone right now. Their defense is ferocious. Matthew Stafford's the MVP of the league right now. What is the current odds on DraftKings?

2:35:08And Puka's the best. Devontae Adams is a perfect complement. They can do everything. I don't really know what their hole is. They're just destroying people. They're destroying people, and their defense was so good tonight they ran out of sack celebrations to do. Yeah, the Bucs are not a bad team. I know the Bucs are spiraling right now, and they're still injured, but they're not a bad team, and they made them look like a bad team. What are the MVP odds? Drake, Matthew Severed's minus 200. Drake Mays, plus 200. Oh, wow. Minus 215. Zach, what do you think? The Bucs should still go to the playoffs, but I believe still playoffs, defense kind of non-existent today.

2:35:50They're just getting burnt in the backfield, too. And Matthew Stafford, just some of those – like that second Adams touchdown, the throw is just beautiful. Like he's still – Matthew Stafford is still just one of them ones. The Baker injury kind of sucked. They brought him back out from the tent. He got back in the game and then into first quarter. I didn't understand that. Yeah. I mean, either. Like if he's in the tent and we're already getting worked, just don't put him back in the game. This is exactly what happened to Baker in Cleveland. and you guys are a much smarter organization so I don't think it's going to turn out the same way but Baker was good in Cleveland anyone who watched Baker was like this is the best quarterback I've ever seen on the Browns and then he hurt his left shoulder and then he was like I'm going to keep playing through it because I'm tough and I'm Baker Mayfield and then he started to suck because he was injured and the Browns were like okay keep going out there Baker you want to keep playing alright let's keep playing and then he sucked and then the Browns were like well maybe we'll get the pervert and we can just make you expendable, Baker.

2:36:51That's what happened. And I think Tampa Bay is way smarter than that. I think that they realize that, like, yeah, Baker's injured. He's not going to be effective. Don't let him tell you that he's healthy enough to play because he's not. Let him get healthy. If he needs surgery, he'll get the surgery. I don't think that they're going to fuck him up. But his left shoulder looked like it was pretty bad. Yeah, it was hanging when he was in the game. I don't understand it. Yeah, he was playing through smaller injuries earlier in the season. And the Bucs have to make the decision not to let him hurt himself more because he'll just be like, I'm ready for game day.

2:37:26Let's go. This is not going to phase me. They've got to be able to reel that in like, hey, let's just pump the brakes. Let's think big picture. Yeah. And the pick six was not his fault. K-Dotten was just bobbling that ball down the field. But yeah, the Bucs got demolished. The Rams are the best team in the NFL. I don't know. Are they peaking too early? I guess would be the only thing we have to ask. Remember when Matt Stafford wasn't going to play this year? Yeah. Hey, his back might be so bad that he might not be able to play football again. He's laying down on a table for six hours because he can't practice.

2:37:57I think that McVay was just fucking with all of us. And guess what? Looking at the Rams, they have two hard games left, the Lions and at the Seahawks. The other games are going to be favored by a lot. Panthers, Cardinals, Cardinals, Falcons. they could they're they're they're cruising to the one seat yeah I mean I guess Max good thing you have that Jalen Carter blocked field goal because that's a tiebreaker right yeah but there's like I don't see a loss on maybe at Seahawks yes at Seahawks but yeah they're gonna they're they're just dominating they're fucking awesome so they're fun to watch and I I Matthew Stafford, when he's in the zone, he makes football look easy.

2:38:47And he was doing his look-away passes. Yep. He was doing, like, the weird arm angles that make Dan Orlovsky come everywhere. It was a clinic. He's been lights out. Like, I can't, even in the losses, when he played, when they lost to the Eagles, I still think that Matt Stafford had a pretty good game, right? Yeah, if I want to remember correctly, didn't their offense kind of go silent in the second half? Yeah. They kind of went away in the second half. They came out to a hot start. And, yeah, he wasn't his best game. But he's been good pretty much all year long. Yeah, Rams. Rams. Team to beat. Are they officially the team to beat?

2:39:31You don't want to have to go to SoFi in January. I think so. I think that they're, yeah, no one goes to Los Angeles. Hard place to play. Good sports sound. I think, what are they, 8-3 against the spread this year? Yeah, they're killing teams. They're crushing people. Okay, last thing I had, a Roback question for you guys. RHOBAC.com, promo code TAKE, 20 % off your first purchase. Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Roback.com, promo code TAKE, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com, promo code TAKE. Do you guys want to talk about the Texans and Bills real quick? Yeah. Yeah. Texans killed the Bills. That defense is awesome.

2:40:10That was... Willie Anderson just physically abusing people. Eight sacks. Also, shout out to Texans crowd. That was a... That Deion Dawkins false start at the end of the game. That crowd was rocking. Rocking. And Davis Mills. 3-0. I think CJ Stroud's coming back. 3-0 as a starter. Save the season. The Texans, remember, are my pinky team. They're dangerous in the fact that I don't know... They can be in every single game because of their defense. So you said earlier, like, what would it be like if the Browns had an average offense? Yeah. And that's kind of what the Texans are. Yeah. Yeah. And they, I mean, they made Josh Allen look bad.

2:40:50He had a really tough night. They were kicking the shit out of him. I thought Josh died in the first half. Yes. When he landed on the ball, get the wind knocked out of him. He had two picks. He did not look good. The, the bills offense. I don't know why they went away from the run in that game, but that was an absolute ass kicking and a true home field advantage. And yeah, the Texans, are they a team nobody wants to play? I don't think I'd want to play them. No. Hell no. If I was on defense, I might. Yeah, because then they still don't have a very good offensive line. What's going on with Keon Coleman?

2:41:27I don't know. Do we know? Because he was a healthy scratch second week in a row. Everyone assumed that he would be back because the Bills don't exactly have a great receiving core, so they would need a guy like Keon Coleman. Something weird is happening with them. Something weird is happening with them. The Bills look like they're in some deep water. The playoff, I can't remember. I know we have every year there's obviously the playoff picture is fun to dissect, but there are a lot of teams in the mix, and there's also a lot of really good teams that are fighting for their life, which is making the playoffs.

2:42:06The Lions are not in the playoffs right now. The Chiefs are not in the playoffs right now. The Texans are not in the playoffs right now. There's some good teams that are sitting there, and they're just going to have to fight their way in. I'm excited for some home stretch football here. The Athletic has the bills at 82 % to make the playoffs. Still 77 % to win the division, but that looks like that's going to be the Patriots no matter what. Yeah, I think the Bills are going to make the playoffs and nobody in Buffalo is going to be like, this is our year. No. And then the Texans are, if they make the playoffs, watch the fuck out because that defense, there's something about watching a defense like that where it's not just the fact that they're getting stops.

2:42:50They're just getting violent stops. They got violent. James Cook got a 45-yard touchdown run. And other than that, they kept the Bills offense, which is one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, out of the end zone. Just suffocated them. Beat the fuck out of them. So congrats to the Texans. I know everyone should tune in to the case race on Wednesday. It was very fun. If you want to hear more about that game, we watched it live. Yep. We watched it live while we were drunk. We had some real genuine reactions to it. Yeah. Hank was just devastated. So devastated. Everything's breaking your way right now, Hank.

2:43:23What do you mean? I think he was just saying, like, the fact that the Bills lost on Thursday night, the Colts might be – I guess the Chiefs winning is not breaking your way. You don't want the Chiefs in there. No. But we get a bye then. That's all we want. Yeah. Were you devastated that the Bills lost, or were you devastated when you found out the four quarterbacks that have beaten the Bills this year? No, I don't care about that at all. I don't care about that. Okay. You seemed upset in the moment. I just didn't know if you thought about that more. There's only one bye just, you know. Hmm? There's only one buy.

2:43:55I know. Okay. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Hmm. If you get the buy. If we get the buy, yeah. If we don't get the buy, then the Chiefs are going to be right in our radar. They're going to be right in your fucking grill mix. Ohms. Okay. Reminder, we have a show on Wednesday this week. No show Friday. We're going to do an extra long show, though, Wednesday for anyone who has to work. Let's finish up the show with who's back of the week. it is brought to you by our friends at Twisted Tea alright guys Thanksgiving week is here which means three things football food and that one night where you see everyone you went to high school with at the same bar reunion no one asked for but we all somehow show up to and if you're doing it right you're rolling it with Twisted Tea in hand Twisted Tea is a refreshing hard ice tea with real brewed tea not tea flavored real brewed tea with a 5 % kick that sneaks up on you like the Cowboys losing on Thanksgiving maybe not this year that's what I love about it full flavor super smooth no carbonation you can sip it all day throughout the early games the late game the post-meal nap games twisted tea is the mvp of thanksgiving week it's a perfect for friends giving thanksgiving eve or even when your family asks why you're still wearing your jersey during dinner so no matter what you're up to stock up on twisted tea for whatever your thanksgiving week holds shout out state street brats and uh wandos i air i got addicted to airdrops because Wisconsin won.

2:45:18Wisconsin's the hottest team in the country. They've won two home games against ranked opponents in November. Pretty cool. So I got a little addicted, and I just started airdropping everywhere. But, yeah, everyone enjoyed the twisted tease on me. Yeah, listen, we bullied Illinois. We bullied Illinois. And I don't give a fuck if the kids go on the field. People are just gatekeeping that. It's the dumbest thing ever. It's just a bunch of people who are sitting at home just being like, I wish I was in college. What, for the field stormers? Yeah. Oh, it's so embarrassing to field storm. It was senior night.

2:45:52Yeah. The kids at Wisconsin who are seniors were promised a good football experience for the four years. They've gotten dog shit. There's probably a lot of fans that haven't had the opportunity to storm the field before. Well, they did two weeks ago against Washington, but still. This is their senior night. Yeah, I mean, they've... I also just... What does it hurt anyone? It looks like the funnest time. You go get fucked up. you make a memory with your friends. It does zero bad things to the world. All right, Hank, your who's back of the week. My who's back of the week is Jack Hughes dinners. Oh, yeah.

2:46:28So Jack Hughes, New Jersey Devil's star. He was recently in Chicago and went out to dinner with Frank the Tank. Yeah. Barstool's very own Frank the Tank. How'd that go? At that dinner, Jack Hughes cut himself and was put on the injury list. I think he's out for like eight weeks. Unintentionally. But that was just a very Fleming curse, very funny moment. But this past week, he was out to dinner with Tate McRae. And she is? Pop star. Okay. Popular? She's a member of Tank's Army. Extremely popular. Yeah, that's crazy. You don't know who Tate is. I've heard her name. I honestly don't believe you. I've heard her name.

2:47:05What's your song? She's very talented. Yeah, Memes. What's the song, Memes? Give me a song. Sing it. I don't know. You were singing it. I was singing Love Me, Love Me. What is the song? She's got lots of songs. Give me one song. Pink. No. That's Chapel Rhone. I know that. I've heard of her. I don't know what song. All right. I don't think I know any of those songs. Yeah. Okay. I don't know.

2:47:41Is she the one that Connor Griffin's obsessed with? X? Yeah. Okay, all right. I know who she is now. I thought that was Sabrina Carpenter. Her as well. I thought it was Olivia Rodrigo. Her as well. So that was actually a bad question. He's just horny. Obsessed with all these girls. She's a dancer. But she's a singer? I think she was like a... Yes. She's Britney Spears. Britney Spears, yes. Britney Spears was a big thing. Britney Spears was a big thing. I know what Britney Spears is. No, but they say that she's the next Britney Spears. A la Britney. Got it. I got to hear one of her songs. I probably know it, but I don't know it off the top of my head.

2:48:23You want me to play a song and then we cut it? Yes. Why are you going on Twitter? I don't know. That was stupid. I'll play one. Just click on... Play the fucking song. Tate McCray.

2:48:40Say any song. This one I don't think I know that one Nope We're gonna play this one She's got a thing for Zambonis Big hockey from Canada Nope Yeah this one's a banger

2:49:02Okay

2:49:08Okay Okay, we listened to a song. I do not know her songs. But she seems talented. And good for Jack Hughes. Yeah. He's back. His dinners are back. He said two. She does the other one. It's like, all my exes live in Texas. That's a whole song. All my exes live in Texas. They know nothing about me. I make up. I hang my hat in Tennessee. Great artist. Great dinner guest. Jack Hughes knows how to pick them. Would you rather go to dinner with her? Frank Fleming. Definitely Frank. Definitely Frank. 100%. There's no doubt about it. I'm not a creep, bro. Yeah. What is she, like 20? Yeah. How old is she?

2:49:49At least 21. Oh, okay. Thank you. 22. 22. Yeah. No, I would not. What would I talk to a 22-year-old with at dinner? 22-year-old girl. What would I talk to her about? Nothing. There's nothing that we have in common. You say six, seven once, and then she kind of laughs out of pity, and then you try to say it again because you're like, oh, she liked it the first time, and then she gets up and leaves. Yeah. It would be a bad dinner. I would not have anything in common with Tate McRae. Okay, PFT. My who's back of the week is the hungry dog. Did it hit? No. Two out of three hit. Two out of three hit.

2:50:29Yeah, but I had a hungry dog that was back this week. Blake caught a rabbit for the first time. and uh so blake is back yeah he well no hey just wait just wait he ended up eating like half the rabbit dog walk so your dog's a murderer could not get the rest of the rabbit out of blake's mouth and she was like does this dog like is there anything what are the best treats that we can that we can try to get it so we used the freeze-dried chicken we used the bully sticks he would not drop the rabbit until he saw his favorite toy which was the Hank doll and Blake drops the rabbit yeah I'm sorry I couldn't have prevented a murder dropping this week on the Barstool store yeah it's incredible he is addicted to this Hank doll he's addicted to it to the point where he will drop fresh meat and instead play with his friend Hank which I think is just it's beautiful it's a beautiful thing is he gonna try and kill me when he sees me no no he was just like nibbling on it, squeaking the squeaky toy.

2:51:32The rabbit wasn't as lucky. No, the rabbit wasn't. But I think it's an awesome thing that you've got dogs that just love you. Do you think it's an awesome thing that your dog's a murderer? I mean, he was protecting. Who knows what those rabbits, what they can be up to. Sounds like just... They could spread disease. Bad parenting, but that's just me. Okay, well, I just thought that it was sweet. And they are available... Your dog killing a rabbit is sweet? No, him wanting to go for the Hank toy. Yeah, but the rabbit part's not sweet. Well, listen, the rabbit knew what it did. What did it do? It just exists?

2:52:04It was on his territory. It can't exist. It was on his territory. It was on a walk. It's instinct. Was Blake on a walk? It was in his vicinity. So, yeah. And he was taunting him. Yikes. He was taunting him. You got a killer on your hands. Got a killer. But he dropped it because he saw his best friend, Hank, and he was reminded of beauty and love in this world. And friendship. And he sucked all the life out of it. And friendship. And then he was like, I'm going to play with my best friend Hank again, which I truly love. So thank you for that, for that great gift that you've given all of us on the show and soon to share with the entire world when the Hank toy comes out on Friday.

2:52:37No problem. Yeah. Go get it. Thanks, Hank. Okay. My who's back of the week is rivalry week because we have a great college football slate this week. And we also had no change to the top of the rankings because everyone won this past weekend. So we're probably not going to have any difference. You guys cover. We won. We won. They did not cover. That's probably bad for the rankings. Oh, it's crazy. We beat Washington State by more than Ole Miss beat Washington State by. And also more than – You guys are like heavy favorites, all right? Well, there's a couple touchdowns, but, I mean, this is a tough team.

2:53:10They're second place in their division, Hank. They're in a two-team division.

2:53:17Hank would have gotten there. He would have gotten there. I would never have gotten there. He lost their only conference game. They got a rematch, though, coming up. Yeah, home and home. Yeah. But, yeah, we're going to see. Everything comes down to Ohio State-Michigan. We had that USC-Oregon game was great. Oregon looked good for the first time in a while. They've been struggling a little bit. Winning games, but struggling. And, yeah, and we'll also find out where Lane Kiffin's going. Do you think we're going to find out where Lane Kiffin's going before or after the Egg Bowl? I think before. I do, too.

2:53:46Because it seems like Ole Miss has kind of put an enough is enough timer in place. It's an egg timer. Totally fair. Being like, hey, you've got to make your choice because we hear a lot of stuff that you're doing right now, Lane. And I feel like Lane is getting off on the will here, won't he? He's having fun. I like that he's having fun. He makes college football fun. So his family has spent time, allegedly, in Baton Rouge and Gainesville recently. He's gotten to the point where he's now fucking with the flight tracking community and sending planes up in the air that are then being diverted to and from Baton Rouge at a moment's notice in order to just throw the whole scent off the operation.

2:54:21I love it. It's great. I think he's probably going to leave. I'm changing my – I know I said like two weeks ago I didn't think he was going to leave. I feel like it's gotten to the point where if I had to guess, I would say LSU. Yeah. It's going to be interesting, though, this last week because we're going to have a lot of – there could be multiple two-loss teams that are getting left out with the fact that everyone won. And, you know, like Oklahoma has two losses they're in right now. but Vandy, Miami, BYU only has one loss. They'll play in a conference championship game if they take care of business.

2:54:57The ACC is still a mess. Duke is still alive. Six-team chaos still alive. Is it possible for the six-team to die still? I think so. I think everything happened. I think that, yeah, a lot's going to have to do with the UVA-Virginia Tech game. If Tech can pull an upset, then things get really crazy. Yeah, but yeah, it's the dumbest league, and it's very funny. and Pitt, Pat Narduzzi, when he tells you all he cares about his last two games, believe him. He's absolutely right. Because when he did to Georgia Tech, they did not care about that Notre Dame game at all. But, yeah, I'm excited. Feast week is the best.

2:55:32You've got college basketball. You've got NFL. You've got college football. It's just everything's happening. Michigan-Ohio State is going to be 11.5-point dogs, Michigan. I think I have to bet Michigan out of respect, even though I think Ohio State is going to win. but just bet every underdog in rivalry week. So it's going to be fun. I'm excited. I will not be betting on Texas. Yeah. A &M, I feel like. A &M has nothing to play for. They have something to play for, obviously, but their season is set. You know what I mean? They're not going to get kicked out of the playoffs if they lose this game.

2:56:10Arch had his I do everything game. So Texas hasn't looked bad, but I feel like, I don't know. I feel like this is the year that Texas A &M just slices their throat. At Texas, though. Yeah. Austin's half filled with Aggies anyways. It's weird. Wearing their rings around. Texas two-and-a-half point dogs. Okay, Zach, finish us off. My who's back of the week today is the guys over at Object, Texas. Dashie, Shotzi, Mercury, Zenhook. Who? What? The guys over at Object, Texas, professional call of duty team. Okay. Dashie, Shotzi. Now, did they stream? There was a couple POVs, yes, sir. Did they stream yesterday?

2:56:53They had some POVs up while they were in the tournament, the Monster Invitational. Did Bush stream? This is the preseason. It's a pro-am, though. First pro-am on the new title. You know what I mean? So you get to see the guys on the new game. It was more so like they didn't lose a map until the finals. I'm just a Bush game. This is like when pro teams go to China and play the local teams. Yeah, when Manchester United plays here in the summer. Zach, I'm a Bush gaming fan, and I was just looking for their stream yesterday, and I couldn't find it. First, in that bracket, Tough Pool, first map, you know.

2:57:32They had to play Thieves, took them to Map 5, and then Tough Pool against Miami Heretics. They got 0-3 there. Nothing you're saying makes sense. Just a little piece of business advice. Yes, sir. You should make a public offer to Kyler Murray. Public offer, you think? Yeah, just be like, hey, we've extended an offer to Kyler Murray just to get your name out there. Ballpark, how big? Doesn't matter. He's small. I don't think Kyler Murray likes Barstool Sports. No, he definitely doesn't. Yeah, but it's about making the offer. He's had me blocked for a very long time. I think he has like every single person.

2:58:07It's about making the offer. Barstool was blocked. Anyone who's ever called him short, I'm pretty sure, is blocked. Yeah, it was that Rams playoff game when I was like, he's too short for the playoffs, and then he blocked me. Unblocked part of my take account. He unblocked it? Yep. Oh. Okay, so maybe he's back. Let me see. He was blocked. We were blocked at one point, right? Oh, yeah. Big time. You'd make it sound like we were so blocked. Well, we were probably making a bunch of memes about him being short. I'm still blocked. I don't think I was ever blocked. Still blocked by Deshaun Watson. That one we can wear as a badge of honor.

2:58:45Yeah. Okay. Good show, boys. I don't know. Zach. Yes, sir. What does any of that mean? It was just the new title came out, so a new game. And it was a pro-am, so pro teams, amateur teams came together. Here's my question, Zach. Did you have fun? Did I have fun? Yeah. I enjoyed watching it. And there you go. I'm happy that you're happy. Also, how was your sleeping this weekend? It was okay. What were your shifts like? Shifts? Yeah, like Friday night, what time did you go to bed? Well, Friday night, had Pop Punk. Got home by 1.30. I played the game for a little bit with the boys. That was good. Probably went to bed around 5.

2:59:28Okay. We were having a lot of fun. Yeah. And then they brought Newtown back. It was a big hit. XXP weekend. Shout out to XXP weekend. Okay. Then yesterday. Wait, what time did you wake up on Saturday? Saturday, I woke up probably like 10. Okay. That's not a lot of sleep. And then it was straight back to the game. Love that. It was a beautiful day out, window open, breeze coming through. So nice. That breeze was nice, yeah. Yeah. And then what about today? You're basically outside all day. What time did you stay up until last night? Not too late. Like 1. Okay. And what time did you wake up today?

3:00:06Probably woke up.

3:00:1111.30, 12 o 'clock? Oh, that's not bad. I heard that you sent a text at 3.30 in the morning over the weekend saying, my bad, I just woke up from a nap. Oh, yeah, okay, yeah. There was a nap shift in there. Okay. That was tough. Yeah. From what time to what time was your nap? That was – so the nap would have been like 9 to – like 9 to 1, 9 to 2, something like that? That's sleep. You went to sleep. Leave it on. Leave the mic on. Oh, got you. Yeah, it's like 9 to 2, quick nap. What happened was I laid down and watched it. No, no, no, 9 to 2 is not a nap. Well, I laid down and watched a little TV, and I go either bed for TV or desk.

3:00:53So when I laid down and watched TV and just relax, when I'm not wanting to be on the game for a little bit, I sometimes fall asleep. Right, because it's bedtime. Yeah, 9 to 2, that's sleeping. But then once you wake up, there's no going back to sleep for a couple hours. Well, yeah, you could just roll over and go back to sleep. I mess it up every time. Every single time. So you just got back on the sticks? Yeah, we got straight back to the sticks. Because my boy Gabe gets off work around 1.30, so he's texting me like, hey, it's go time. And I'm like, all right, round two, let's go. Well, you should have said the Gabe part is pretty important.

3:01:21Oh, yeah. He runs a restaurant or a golf course that closes late. So when he's down to fire, I'm always down to fire with the boys. Yeah, you got to. Can't leave the boys hanging. No, can't. Okay, good show, boys. We'll see everyone on Wednesday, and that will be an extra long show for Thanksgiving. numbers. Good job, memes. Yeah. Go 22. No one's even trying to get it anymore. I mean, I am. It's just he's, he's so quick. I'll go 31. You don't, you don't have hezzy anymore. 83. I'll have hezzy for you. What did you guess? 22. I'll go 21. 99, Pug. Wow. 71. 44. 95. Memes does get excited for every single one.

3:02:06I feel like it's going to be the one.

3:02:12Oh, nine. Oh, nine. Shout out nine. Nine, JJ McCarthy. There he is. It was, what was it? What's James' number? It was James' number last Sunday. This is this year. It's always a sign. You want to do one more? Yeah, I'll do one more. Also, Texas A &M does have something to play for. What? They lose their SEC championship. But is that? Some people call it bigger than the national championship. But would you, at this point, do you want to play in the championship game? I think so. I think so, too, but it's also just another chance to, like, championship games are going to be in trouble soon. Yeah, no, they're gone within the next two years.

3:02:52Yeah. Like, just being like, hey, you're already in the playoff. Go play an extra game if you're in the SEC or Big Ten. Yeah, who cares? Yeah, especially they said it doesn't matter towards the playoff bracket. And obviously you would rather have a bye, but the home playoff game is crazy money for the school in the city. Yeah, I think they should just expand to like 32 teams. No. Why not? Why not? Every conference gets a bid. Automatic. Sunbelt. Mac. Memes. All right, I'll tell you why not. All right, every lottery ball. Yeah. SMU. I don't need to see SMU playing more playoff games. It's good for schools like JMU.

3:03:38It is. So they don't have to keep losing their coach. Why am I getting numbers? Why did you redirect that to me, Mims? Is everyone sticking with their number? Yeah. Here comes 30. 37. Mims, you're never going to get it.

3:04:00Love you guys. You're never going to get it. Oh, he's getting close to him.

3:04:37Thank you.

3:05:05Thank you.

3:05:34Thank you.
