Oh no, we're gonna rock it down too. E-L-E, shake high brand new and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock it down too. It's part of my take. There's enough of our sports. Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, December 18th. Week 15. I'm not going to whoop. I have gonna whoop.

I have no whoops. Give me a whoop max. Alright, it's got branch to leaf fire. We started Detroit where Dan didn't hear no campbell and the Lions got off the mat in a big way. Sam LeBron Porta said not one, not two, but three touchdowns as Detroit went up and down the field on the Broncos defense. Sean Connery Payton said he doesn't think there's anything wrong with hitting your quarterback

with a verbal tirade for the whole world to see as he screamed at Russell Wilson for not holding onto the rock. Reminding everyone that there are no untouchables going into next year. Lions 42, Broncos 17. What? We go out to the Queen City of Cincinnati where the Bengal is host the Vikings and an attribute to our Spanish speaking friends. We're going to spice this up with some sin, uh, men. Big, Dick Nick Mullins is take over the starting job and he found a connection throwing some mighty ducks to Jordan Bombay Addison.

The Bengals offense responded giving their fans a heart attack throwing a TD to super charged Panera Ice T Higgins. Very cool Jake Browning and his roster of Mr. Positions bent the Vikings defense over and the defense took the push push into the A gap. Seven minutes in Evan McPherson stepped up big, and the Bengals are making out like Bandits, winning 27, 24. In Cleveland where the Chicago Bears,

once again, blow a 10.4th quarter lead, leaving fans wanting to blow something else out. Their brains out of the back of their heads. It was Alex Amari Cooper using the Gluck-Glock 9,000 to suck the life out of the bears yet again as Chicago tried to make a last second Hail Mary only to have Darnell. You never give me your mooney. You only put the bears back in the funny papers as he watched the ball drop out of his hands for a loss. Brown's 20 bears 17. What? What? Here it? up to the frozen tundra where Tucker Carlson crap and Aaron Alex Jones

We're trying to move the packers on the right direction telling the box D I'll beat your goddamn ass you son of a bitch. You piece of shit. You fucking goddamn fuckers But that didn't deter the box offense as coqueeafed squeak went out and Mike Bob Haven't pulled out his big meaty sausage on the way to the end zone. Folks have you heard this one before? They're saying it's no longer Lambo Field and now Mayfield as Baker owned the Packers on Sunday.

Box 34, the Green Bay Packers 20. Okay, we head now down to South Florida where we have our corresponding memes on the sideline memes We head down to Miami where the clock struck midnight on the Salorella story Zach Wilson suffered a head injury from a chub Nailin Nailin models did his best Leo impression in book Zach Wilson before he turned 25 Country roads take me home to the place we belong out of the playoffs. Dolphet's 30 jets zero. Okay, we head out to Foxboro with our friend Henry Lockwood on field.

Infoxboro. Bailey Mbappe was in his onion bag early, getting on the board early with a connection to Hunter Henry Wrinkler who found a hole in the chief's defense. Patrick Berg in the homes couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo early throwing two interception including one right out of right off of Cadarious Tony soprano's hands who if we were up to chief fans would end up swimming with the fishes after that performance. Kevin Kamala Harris said we did it Joe after rushing in for a touchdown But it was not enough to steal the game from the chiefs chiefs win That was a lot too a little that was a good a good announcement

47 ounce rent I liked it. I liked it good job boom. Thanks boom. We go out to Los Angeles where Puka Mon go and pick a chupra cup saw all those balls and said we're going to catch them all Meanwhile the Washington commanders played like absolute ash go and pick a trooper cup saw all those balls and said we're going to catch them all. Meanwhile, the Washington commanders played like absolute ash. Cameron three cheesemen and Bong Rivera, I hope their team get really high, draft picks, and I haven't seen a blue drossed opponent put a stain on a Washington commanders legacy like this, seismonical Lewinsky. At the end of the game, the commies mounted furious come back and would damn near five minutes left and the poll at the one yard line Oh

For the wrongiest time oh For the wrongiest time I Intent to hold else for the wrong is time run Rivera is an insane person who's not be allowed within 500 yards of a football field losing to the Rams 28 to 28 To Buffalo where James Cook out served up all the yards at a very reasonable price as a Cowboys defense look like a giant drive through Dac Wilson Prescott struggled to get the offense going all Sunday and in an out of character Experience was seen running from a cougar and over all game and shot McDermott told his team They could learn a lot from Dr. Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb and how to stick it to McCarthyism and teach

No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bells say yeah boom teach yeah, boom No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills, Pills 31, Cowboys 10. It's pregame my lord and the giants are warned You peck his own bag and you know it's Louis Come on to Vino You're getting beat though Don't listen to the haters who call you Queen No Psychoscope marching 24 to 6 That was fastest two minutes.

Okay week 15 in the books I apologize to everyone I'm losing my voice it happens once a year

it's very frustrating I don't drink I don't party so the Coke. No I don't do anything but fucking work and parent and not sleep. And then I wake up one day a year being like, where the fuck did my voice go? So, quick question, what does work entail? Does entail talking a lot? Yeah.

That might be it. Yeah, and not sleeping is probably not great. So, fighting, I'm gonna fight, I apologize to everyone. If I wake up tomorrow and I still can't speak, I will shut it down for a whole day. We'll take a day off. Shut it down for a whole day. Yeah, no Hank Clear my schedule Hank is I hear that Hank is I and that's clear my whole goddamn schedule the chill is Well cleared I'll just have to be a mine

I'll have to be like I feel like dark. I didn't talk a lot Hank is thinking about sitting in that seat taking over I think Hank is like, kind of, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like,

he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like,

he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like,

he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, fuck with you, Jake. Yeah, I apologize everyone. We're going to get through it though. Uh, week 15. Great week of football. We're great week of football. We are watching the third quarter of Jags Ravens right now as Trevor Lawrence finally gets them off or on the board with an awesome touchdown pass. They had they had two missed field goals in the first half. One of which hit the upright. They had a fumble inside, was inside the twig. You can't even say that was a fumble. He just dropped the ball. He got scared. I think he got spooked when he was about to get tackled. Honestly, that's what I would do if I was a quarterback. I just think, he just was like, now I have it. Now I don't.

It wasn't like someone hit it. He just dropped the ball. It could have been technically considered an illegal forward pass the way that he just like dropped it forward. Yeah. A little shovel pass forward. And then yeah, they had the debacle at the end of the half where the jaguars are just allergic to the in zone until they they hit that deep strike. But I have no idea what Doug Peterson was thinking at the end of that half. No, it was all time. Well, second to Ron Rivera, worst clock management. Well, that was that can also be Trevor Lawrence. Like you got to know situationally to spike the ball

or throw it to the end zone Yeah, yeah, but yeah, we'll update that game once it's over But we had this week the return of Saturday football. So we're gonna start with Saturday We'll go in chronological order on Saturday then we'll hop into Sunday But Saturday football Saturday NFL it sneaks up on us every year It's always nice a nice little treat. But there is that moment, like, I don't know what you were doing on Saturday,

but like, Bengals, Vikings, I had to be like, I had to kind of get everyone in my household understanding, like, hey, there's NFL about to be on. Just so you know, like, I know this is not normal, but like, dad's gonna go and watch the NFL right now. I had to, basically basically what you have to do is you have to give up your Friday night.

Yeah, I went to a holiday market on Friday night that I was gonna go to on the Saturday to buy Christmas gifts, which is not how I would ideally like to spend my Friday evening. So you get those chores out of the way on Friday and then you can be a total piece of shit all day long on Saturday. My only request to the NFL,

and I remember last year, the game that was on that Saturday was the Jeff Saturday game, where it was the Colts against the Vikings, the comeback, where they had the historic comeback, which was awesome game. But I would prefer if those games don't start until maybe a little bit later on the episode. Yeah. Noon is early. Do like the weird time that you start the game that you kick off like on Thanksgiving,

where you maybe kick off at like 2.30, to kick off at like 3.30, or something like that for the first game. Give me some time to like be a human being on Saturday before I have to just be like physically part of my couch for the next two days. Yes, and it was also, I mean, bowl games, college, basketball games, it was, I love this time of year.

It's like, what do I want to do do i want to sit on my couch and watch everything i'll tell you what this game was though the bangles vikings this was back case in point for you uh... this is what the eagles need to show the competition committee to be like you should not be in the push push because it's not an automatic first on for all turns out that when you have a uh... a player that's that ways probably about as much as hank lining up behind center trying to push your quarterback forward doesn't really work well. He also fumbled the snap Yeah, that also didn't help. Yeah, Max is so blown up Max is so annoying that every time the touch first doesn't work

He just goes on a tie radio. He was like thought it was automatic You guys do it the best. That's I don't I don't think anyone disagrees. The heels do it the best You guys do it the best. I don't think anyone disagrees. The Eagles do it the best. But yes, that was a tough look. This was also a game that we had. The Vikings, it felt like they completely squandered an opportunity to get even further into the playoff picture.

Because they were up 17-3 with like four minutes left in the third quarter. They had completely confused Jake Browning for two and a half quarters. And then the Viking and then the Bengals come roaring back. T Higgins with one of the coolest catches ever when he caught it with his back to the end zone. It was able to twist the ball around the defender. And it was just like time and time again, the Vikings like, I know Nick Mohn's looked better than Josh Dobbs because everyone does, but those two interceptions, especially

the one where he's falling to the ground. That was so funny. That was when making wanting to make a play goes wrong. Like there's points where it's like, hey dude, it's okay to take a sack. He could believe that it got picked off after he got swung to the ground and he tries to just throw the ball away. And it ended up being, I think we'll have to get some sort of stat like Amazon web services or whatever Jeff Bezos' stat machine is.

Tell me if that was the shortest thrown interception of the time, because it might have been, I think it was like a two foot pass, Mollins are trying to throw it away, and then as Mollins is getting up, he's motion to the referee, that was in a fumble, I passed it, I threw that, that's like, no, no, we got it.

It's like, no, it actually hit the guy in his face, then in his dick, then his knee, then knee then he caught it was like oh holy shit I here's a football it was a football. Yeah, just like I'm gonna I'm gonna go down trying to make a place sometimes just don't don't make that play But yeah, that was I walked away from it being like well, so the Bengals are Very much live for the playoffs are they in the playoffs right now? I guess it would be yes, I think they're a six seed and playoffs. Are they in the playoffs right now? I think they would be. Yes. I think they're sickseed. And the Vikings that they should have won that game. They weren't able to close

it out. But now I'm back to being like Bengals team of destiny. Nick Foles, Jake Browning like that first half Jake Browning looked back. You're like, Oh, shit. This is why he's the backup. And then the second half, he kind of woke up and started figuring some stuff out. And the Bengals are, I can't believe that the Bengals are like actually kind of a scary team. They're feisty, right? Yeah. They'd be the 60. They would travel to Kansas City, the Gibroni mayor of Cincinnati, we get his chance at revenge. They also Travis Kelsey. They also have a bunch of injuries again. They get injuries every game. They do. Yeah. I actually, J. Reader, I came away like, not so much impressed with Nick Mullins.

I think I just forgotten about Nick Mullins because every time he plays him like, oh yeah, this dude's got a little shit to him. He's got a little gunsling around him. Yeah. And the throw that he had to Jordan Addison, which was the all time no, no, no, no, no, yes throw where he just like whipped it across his body,

let Jordan make a play on it. Those are the plays that you get with Big Dick Nick. Yeah. like whipped it across his body, let Jordan make a play on it. Those are the plays that you get with Big Dick Nick. Yeah, Nick Mullins is a great case of, if you just take out the two red zone interceptions, he had a great game. Yeah, and I feel like you can say that almost every time. That one was kind of a fluke. Yeah, kind of a fluke interception,

but yeah, he will make a couple plays where, that's why I think he's like the, he's the ultimate like backup gun slinger. Right. Yeah, I don't think a team will ever commit to why I think he's like the he's the ultimate like backup gunslinger right yeah I don't think it's him will ever commit to Nick Mullins as being like the guy ever But he's fun at least you'll say this about Nick when he plays you want to watch the game because he's gonna do some crazy Shit that's awesome. He's gonna do some crazy shit that's stupid. Yeah, and I like Nick Mullins I think I think he might be a listener to show I we got to get Nick Mullins like

either an ice bath for his face or one of those, the things that you rub, the chicks rub. Yeah, he was looking a little puffy. I rubbed one out the other day with one of those ice things on my face. Wait, okay, yeah. Yeah, no, actually rubbed too out, because it was both my eyes.

Those were very, they work. They weren't a lot of cosmetic changes, right? Well, no, I had one in my freezer and I was like, you know what, I had a couple drinks on Friday night at the holiday festival I'm gonna rub my face out and it felt awesome. Yeah, I feel like I highly recommend that I feel like Nick Mullins might have just continued with his holiday plans of like drinking on like a random Thursday night or whatever Yeah, not realizing I had to start an NFL game, but I do like watching play He he raises the ceiling for what the Vikings offense was

with Josh Dobbs, who was pathetic the last couple times. Yeah, that was pretty bad the last couple weeks watching Josh Dobbs. You know what Nick Mullins has? It's not like resting bitch face. It's resting stung by bees face. Yeah, it always like, I think it's just just like, it's like you got hit by a shovel.

Yeah, he looks like the wet bandits. Yeah, you know, like the iron came down and hit him when he was walking up the stairs, the facility. Yeah, but yeah, to your point about the Bengals being like a team of destiny, they definitely believe. Like they think that they can win. Yeah, that's half the battle. Like they're fighting hard every single game.

I think they have tie breakers over like everyone too. I think they beat the, I think they beat the, oh no, they lost the Texas, but they beat the bills. This is tie breaker season. They beat the cults who will be right around them. Yeah, the bank, AFC, there's no rhyme, like the AFC playoffs, I will not be shocked pretty much with any team that

gets to the Super Bowl. At this point, yeah, you could, you could say what team would shock you? The Colts make into the Super Bowl. Colts, okay, but that will most likely be like, if that's not the Colts, if the Seven Seed is the Bills, and it's Ravens Dolphins, Chiefs, Jaguars, Browns, Bengals, Bills. I feel like I'd be most shocked out of all those teams to see the Jaguars make it. Yeah, but like, it's crazy how wide open the AFC playoffs

have become. It is, yeah. So the Bengals, what's the spread? Guess the spread next week they're traveling to Pittsburgh. Bengals at the Steelers. I'm gonna say Steelers minus one. I think it might be Bengals minus one. Steelers look real bad. What do we got? We've be Bengals minus one. Steelers look real bad.

What do we got? We've got Bengals minus two and a half. Oh, so your formula says take the Steelers. Yeah, well, all right, so let's just segue to it because it's called 30 Steelers 13. That was the second game. The Steelers were actually up 13, nothing in this game. And Michael Pittman got hurt and Zach Mosk got hurt

and you would have been like this is This was finding out Santa Claus isn't real because this was the death of the Mike Tomman spot Mike Tomman had two back-to-back games is a home favorite by like almost a touchdown both times Loses outright has to rally the troops their underdogs, they couldn't look worse. This was the moment that you're like, my Tom will find a way to have the Steelers win this game. And it started going as planned too, with the punt block, up 13, nothing.

And then it just, the Colts went ripped off 30 straight points. The Steelers didn't even come close to scoring again. My Tom and this is actually the first time I've been like, it might be over. It might be over for my Tom and in Pittsburgh. It was a bad, bad showing in the second half. TJ Watt looked really good considering he was coming off at concussion or excuse me, coming off definitely not having

a good way out to change his visor to be the dark tinted. He looked good in the first half. He looked good in the first half, but then the coach just ran the fuck out of it. They immasculated. They ran the fuck out of it. And you see the stats that they put up with like a three-headed monster in the back field.

No Jonathan Taylor for the Colts. Yup. And you think maybe Jim Urce shouldn't have gone and paid all that money to Jonathan Taylor because he felt guilty about flying a whale across the country and spending more money on that than on the hunting back. Well, because the whale died,

he didn't have to spend all that money. Yeah, but it was a bad, you think he had that money laying around because the whale died? Yeah. Like Domino effect, the whale died, he didn't have to spend all that money. Yeah, but it was a bad, you think he had that money laying around because the whale died? Yeah. Like Domino effect, the whale died. Correct. Jonathan Taylor, now he's like, there's someone, some Pipsqueak with like a pocket protector

and glasses walked into Ursa's office one day. It was like, Mr. Ursa, the whale died. So by my calculations, we have $40 million that have just opened up. Your sick whale budget just became completely free, right? Yes. Or you can distribute that as you see fit. Yeah, I don't, Ursa was like, at the time, he was getting bad PR because of the Zach Taylor thing,

or not the Chant the Taylor thing. And he said to himself, if you know what'll fix this, I've got just the right idea. I'll do a good PR going by flying the whale. Yes. Everybody would be like, thank you, Mr. Erick. And then instead the reaction was, how can you fly a whale?

Like Hank has been talking about. Yeah, it's a wild. It's a wild. It's a wild. But yeah, the moral of this story was the cults can run the damn football. Yes. When they run the damn ball, then everything else opens up. I don't even know if it's the cults can run the damn football.

It's the Steelers defense. It's like everything about the Steelers is bad. Yeah. And I'm actually happy. I think Steelers fans are happy that like them lucky their way into the playoffs would have sucked. Because I want to see there are seven teams. We just listed them that I could see making a miracle

run to the Super Bowl. The Steelers can't win a single game. Oh, they're gonna get Kinney back. They get Kinney back. Anything could happen. It's bad watching it. And I'm gonna say something that's really sad. Hank, I need you to listen to this.

I think it might be over for Mitch. Yeah, there was a bad show. It was a bad show by Mitch. It was also a bad show by Pickens. I need it's really. Y'all, Pickens not run blocking. Not run blocking at all. Not even pretend.

I feel like the Steelers lead the league and having position players with just real bad visuals. That's your in terms of giving up on place. That's what I'm saying. Like Tomlin, he would have bad, he's teaming at bad moments, but he would always be able to get them back on track and win a game that they're underdogs

and like everything looks terrible. I think it's like, that Tomlin might be done. He might need to go somewhere else You got it. You have to have a sliding scale of talent where you have like Antonio Brown, Levy on Bell And they're just absolutely destroying the locker room behind the scenes. Yeah, but they're still really fucking good when they play right You can handle that with with pickins and Deonte this year they've put They've they've given up on film multiple times throughout the season. And they're not good enough to be able to just quit. Didn't you say it too?

The big band said that like this is the end of the Steelers as we know it. Steelers culture is done. It does feel like that. This was the game they were supposed to win. And when they're up 13, nothing, you're like, they're gonna win this game. Yeah, I actually think next week is the game

that they're supposed to win. This will be, are the Steelers as a culture definitively dead yet? Because yeah, no, them beating the Bengals would make sense. A home game underdog. A professional underdog. Probably play renegade a couple times.

TJ, but ready to go. Back up quarterback for the Bengals. I feel like that's where we can pinpoint and be like, this is the end of the Steelers Air. Yes. Yes. I also would like to say that I have officially decided I am willing to do one coach

of the year vote and it's going to be for Shane Steak. Okay. I've decided that. I usually split my votes. The cults, the fact that the cults are eight and six, Gardner Menshu, like playing good football, they're fun team to watch. It's crazy. The whole thing is crazy.

Teams aren't supposed to have like, be expected to be bad and then be this competence. Not even like they're all, they're an incredible team. It's just, their competence level is so high. Yeah, they, they're well coached. It's all the time. Details are perfect for them. Right.

It's a first year coach. He's a first year coach doing a great job. My coach the year vote, I have, I'm going to split mine. I think Shane Stuykin is definitely deserving. I think I'm going to give one to Dmitri Khrins and Houston and then Sean McDermott. How funny would it be if Sean McDermott went coach the year this year? That would be great. It would be, it would be, it would be, it would be awesome.

I must see TV. Yeah. NFL honors night. Have Aaron Rodgers introduce me, I'll have a lot to talk about. I think that the cults will make the playoffs, the segment they did with Gardner Minshue, we were gonna talk about the van. Yeah.

Is it Tariqo that was doing that game? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tariqo was like pretending to be grossed out about how Gardner Minshue lives in a van at a local gym, and he plays pickleball against old women and basically without saying in so many words, they were like, Gardner, Munchoo bangs all the cougars down in Florida. Yeah.

He bangs so many cougars that he just brings them to his van so that they can't sleep over and then goes gets the next one. It sounds like a great off season for Gardner. Yes. PFT. I think. Now this is going gonna be a something I shouldn't write a check for us that I don't know if we can gash but let's just say it okay. If the cults

they can win the AFC South. If the Jaguars lose this game right now I think they'd be tied because they have split, I believe, their games this year, right? I believe so. If the Colts have a home playoff game and it's played on that Saturday, most likely, I think we have to go. Oh, that is a big track. I think we have to go though.

Was that January 14th? I think we have to go. Also, it was Rich Eisen on the call and Kurt Warner. Oh, yeah, then we should go, so we don't have to hear that. No, that, it wasn't Tariqo's, Richaizen just chuckled into himself thinking about Gardener banging moms. Yeah, I just couldn't help but think about how mad Kurt probably was that there was an adome.

Yeah, no, he was loving it. Yeah, yeah, but I love it. Yeah, that's probably why Erse closed close the roof because he was like Kurt's gonna Beers just gonna rip me a new asshole and want to see that puffy vest All right, we'll put that we'll table it maybe we will go. I'm a firm maybe on that one. It's only a little drive Yeah, do I get do I get free playoff tickets if I'm a season ticket holder? No, I don't think so you have to pay for him Yeah, well, that was why I was, I wasn't gonna, the only reason I was gonna say

because we have seasoned tickets. That was the only reason. Maybe we go down there interview Mr. Erse before the game. Mm. You think you'd want to do an interview right before a playoff game? I think you'd be fine with it.

Yeah. Do it during. Yeah. Sitting his box, getting Mr. Erse's box. He would probably let us, yeah. I think he could. We could be in his box. I could see myself in Mr. Erse's box. He would probably let us. Yeah, I think he could. We could be in his box. I could see myself in Mr. Ersa's box.

Yeah. Couple guys in his box. We're fun guys. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. Last game for Saturday. Lions 42 Broncos 17.

The Lions are back. They kicked the shit out of the Broncos. I feel like this was a fraud passing of the torch. Like everyone's saying lions, you know, fraud, their defense, not great. The Broncos are the real fraud. That was an ass kicking up and down. The lion started the game with three punts. They then went on five straight touchdown drives for 80 yards, 61 yards, 81 yards, 75 yards, 75 yards. Yeah.

They killed Sam Laporta. It was awesome. Because Jameer Gibbs was everywhere. Yeah. Laporta's got to be one of the, what, top five tight ends in the league right now. Yeah. As a rookie, really good. They did take a couple shots deep to Jameson at the start of the game, which I've been

saying for weeks, like, just do that. He's so fucking fast. Yeah. Just hear it out. Stretch the defense out a little bit. Yeah. The office of the game playing was awesome for for the Lions. And then and also their defense played well, which is what you need to see. And they actually like they played pretty well, though, I still think the Broncos just suck. Well, what happened with that that fake

offside call that they had? Yeah. Like fake, did they line up in the neutral zone? So the helmet was in the neutral zone. Then they, uh, so they, they scored touch. I think they might have scored touch on the play. Then they call it back. Then Sean Payton just starts ripping into Russell Wilson. He assumed that it was Russell's fault. So he assumed his Russell Wilson's fault. Meanwhile, as he's ripping into Russell Wilson, he's having them go out there for a field goal to make a three score game, a three score game. Yeah. From take it from 28 to seven to 28 to 10. Yeah.

Like Sean Payton feels like, yeah, I get it. Russell Wilson, not the old Russell Wilson. I also feel like Sean Payton is just like throwing a shit load of blame on the Russell Wilson when he probably needs to blame too for it felt like the team was not ready for this game. He accomplished the impossible in that moment, which is we felt bad for the Wilson. Yes. We took Russell Wilson's side and we sympathized with him. Like that sucks that your coach is doing that to you.

I didn't think that was possible for me to feel that way about him, but yeah, he was not the one who was wrong. The Broncos, they're kind of clinging to it right now. I could still see them. No, they're kind of clinging to it right now. I could still see them play off. They're scheduled so easy. So I actually, Jake, you need to set a reminder for us. Yep. They're playing the Patriots and the Chargers at home.

And then at the Raiders. If the Broncos make it to the playoffs, I will bet everything I have against them. They're not good. They're lucky. They're not good. Also, the baby bump worked. Russell Wilson scored. Yeah. He did. Yeah, true. Yeah.

Now that's his kid. His kid. He gave him. Yes. Got you. Yeah. Why the buddy pregnant? Why the buddy pregnant? Um, it was good though to see the lines get their like groove back. But I, yeah, I think the Broncos suck. I really do. I know that people like, oh, that's bullshit. They've turned it around. They turn around with smoking mirrors. I know they beat the chiefs. That was nice. That pills get like, it's if the Broncos can't get like three turnovers all in plus territory. They're just like, they're shit out of lock. Now, do we, do we officially take the lions off fraud watching this game? Because I think they just beat a fraud. If you beat a fraud, does that make you not a fraud?

Hmm. I don't know. It's like catch me if you can. If you're a fraud and you get hired to find out who the fraud is, are you still a fraud? Are you still a fraud for life? They have an opportunity. The Lions have an opportunity week 17 when they go to Dallas.

Yeah. They can beat the Cowboys in Dallas. That might be the fraud bull. Oh, if they beat, no, the fraud bulls next week. Dolphins Cowboys and Dallas. That might be the fraud bull. Oh, if they beat no fraud bulls next week Dolphins Cowboys. Yeah, that is the That's literally whoever whoever loses that game will be a fraud the Cowboys are playing back-to-back to back-to-back Fraud Bulls. Yeah, but no the bills are never a fraud team. They were just Snake pit. They were just not good. Yeah, But they were, but they were also when they are good, they're not a fraud. Yeah, when they're good, they're, they can beat any team in

the NFL. Yeah. A fraud is like a front running. Cowboys, I think are the leaders in the fraud watch right now. So I would say the Lions aren't off fraud watch, but they definitely take a nice step back because I was, their defense played really well. And their offense, when it's humming, it cannot like, if they get a home playoff game, which they're very close to getting, by the way, if the Seahawks lose, the Lions officially clinch the playoffs. Which should be great.

If the Lions get a home playoff game, I'm very bullish on the Lions winning that home playoff game. It's when the Lions have to go on the road. And this isn't like anti-Lions, because it's like, who would feel good about going on the road against San Francisco right't like anti-lions because it's like who would feel good about going on the road again San Francisco right now. Yeah, no one. No one. That's like that's nothing to do with the lions not being good. They are very good. It's just if they went on the road, San Francisco, I don't know if they can win that game. Which crazy about

the NFC is there's there's a chance like a pretty good chance that two NFC South teams make the playoffs. Oh, I know. Because the I know the Saints NFC South teams make the playoffs. Oh, I know. Because the... Yeah, I know the Saints are in the playoffs right now. And the Vikings have to play the lines twice. Correct. So that's gonna be a tough schedule.

No, the Packers have shit all over themselves. The Saints Rams game next week actually is like a huge playoffs game. Yeah. There's a night, so. Yeah, there's a night. But yeah, no, there's the Saints. We could get the Saints and the box. Jesus. Yeah, it's a night so yeah, there's a night. But yeah, no, there's the Saints. We could get the Saints and the box. Jesus. Yeah, it's crazy. I don't know what that does to my calculation about NFC South coaches getting fired.

I still feel like it's every team that doesn't win the division. Yeah, I think you get it if you make the playoffs. Get in and out of the fire. Yeah, if you're like right around 500. I don't know if you get in his wild card, you still might get the Saints might still fire. I think I think he finds a way to get in the playoffs because they'd have to win like two out of the last three. You could say they finished strong. They got hot. Yeah. Either way, that was an awesome game for the Lions.

They that was that was what the Lions needed because they had gone what? It felt like four weeks a month where yeah, they went two and two in the last four, but they have not looked really good in those four games. And Dan Campbell said he's going to be more irritable. He's going to have to push him harder. And then we saw it like he that that was what the Lions looked like early on in the season when everything's clicking on offense and Jared looks great and Jameer Gibbs

like they have so many weapons when everything's working that I love watching play football. It's fun to watch the Lions play football. It is and they get CJ Gardner Johnson back. Yep. Next week maybe he's practicing now. Yeah. That's going to be bit. Yeah, you can definitely you can sell yourself that the Lions maybe their defense is getting

good. You and we talked mainly really have to believe that the defense is getting good because then you might accidentally play good. So if you shut down the Vikings twice and you hold your own against Dallas and you get a good important player like that back, you can go into the playoffs being like yeah our defense is fixed. Jeff saturday told us on Friday just get get guys lined up right. Yeah. Yeah just if you're a Lions fan you just got to walk around being like once we get guys lined up right where we find yeah that's it that's all it takes not not a lack of skill get guys lined up

right okay let's go to Sunday we'll start with the browns and bears browns 20 bears 17 I'll start with the browns because I'd like to give the Browns a shitload of credit. The Browns have had so many injuries. They had at one point, I think during this game, they were on their third right tackle, third center, backup left tackle, backup guard. They've had so many injuries to every place on the football field and they're so resilient and their defense shows up in big moments and Joe Flacco that pass he made to a Maricouper to tie the game was a tight window with three dudes right around him and the Browns deserve

all the credit in the world for being like this tough, hard-nosed team that has had so many chances to quit on the season and have always answered the bell. And if you're a Browns fan, like, I know the season has been weird, disorienting, everything. Right now, you have to be just proud of your football team. Yeah. Flacco can throw the dick out of the ball. That pass was so pretty.

It was sick. Right in between the zone, Eber Fluss gave kind of a loser answer to it after the game. He said that that ball should have been intercepted. He's like, if we play that, make that play again, we probably pick him off. Well, he's a loser. That was a designed interception according to Matt Iber Fluss. Yeah.

Usually they break quicker on the ball than that, so he has no regrets about the play call. Maybe, okay, at least just say like we should tackle the guy after he caught it. Yeah. Like you can say, we had the right coverage. It was a better throw at the at the very least Give credit to Flacco for making a great throw on that one. Well, I know loves Cooper and he loves David and Joke

Yeah, it does and the Bears defense is not the problem in this game. So here's here's a fun stat Since 2015 teams with three plus sacks three plus interceptions in a pick six were 40 and oh, now they're 40 and one. Thank you bears. Also here's a fun stat. No head coaches ever lost multiple games in a single year despite owning a 10 point lead and a plus to turnover margin until today. Matt, he refluse, come on down. Set in records, baby. I would like to say and get ahead of this before the end of season when the Justin Fields debate happens because it's going to happen. It's already happening a little bit. We should adjust his stats at the end of the year because he had

two interceptions today, both on Hail Mary's and the first one should even count. The first one was not a hundred exception and feels as like lobbying with the ref at halftime like, hey, call that an incomplete pass that wasn't a pick he was trying to get it reviewed yeah where they went into the locker room which he should have because that wasn't an interception and then the one at the end that was in mooney's hands mooney was holding it like like a baby he was cradling he was swaddling the football and then he kicked it up uh into the browns hands such an insane way to lose those should not not count as interceptions and he had a drop touchdown. Robert Tanya.

Robert Tanya just dropped a wide drop touchdown. So in my personal book for Justin Fields, at the end of the season, I will be adjusting his stats to include one more touchdown and two fewer interceptions. No, and that... Ugh.

I don't wanna do this again. I don't wanna do this again. I don't want to do this again. With the Justin Fields combo. No, I just, like, this was a gateway game. I talked around Friday. This is a gateway to my happiness. I was legitimately excited for this game. I legitimately thought the Bears could win this game.

Their defense played really well. I agree with you, Justin Fields is not like the glaring problem. Offensive line couldn't block today. Receivers dropping balls. Exec execution in the fourth quarter. Like, time and time again, you start a drive, it's run, run, and then be like, hey, Justin, get us, you know, 12 yards here, on third down when everyone's expecting it.

It's not winning football, that's not how you can like, conduct it often. So, I just, I'm tired of everything. I actually have decided PFT, I think, what's best for my health. I'm tired of everything. I I actually have decided pft I think what's best for my health. I'm just gonna say whatever Ryan polls does I'm cool with Trust in polls. Yeah, you're trusting the process. Well, guess what? Montess sweats a fucking beast. Yeah, he is awesome Right to and half sacks and we have the number one pick I think Montess sweat is now leading two teams in sacks this

Yeah, and we have the number one pick for a reason Ryan Pulse so I'm just gonna I don't want to do the whatever happens I'm just I'm good with I'll just do whatever whatever Ryan Pulse says we're doing I'm just gonna be like you know what that's what we're doing I'll say this about Justin Fields he's not he's not bad enough to be generating the type of insult stats and insult graphics that are going around on him he's he's a decent quarterback he plays a game a little bit differently. So his stats aren't always like glaringly obvious. Like, oh, look how many yards this guy threw.

Right. But he's decent. But I don't know. I don't know if you can, if you think that Caleb Williams is as good as advertised, you can't pass up drafting him. You can't. I'm just telling you, you're going to regret that.

Oh, that was, oh, jeez. We just watched Keith Mitchell hurt his knee very badly. I don't know. That was a very raven thing. Mona silence. That was bad. You missed it. His knee just like popped real bad.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Kill Williams, the whole thing, the financials. I just, and I get it. I have to debate it. I will debate it. I just after a loss like today, the losing a game where I got my hopes up that the bears were going to make a run to a patent. Like, yes, I know a lot of shit had to happen, but Falcons and Cardinals at home, I was

like bears could maybe make week 18 at Lambo like a super meaningful game. I was excited at that proposition, losing the way they lost today. I just don't really, I want to opt out of like future quarterback discussions for like 24 hours. Yeah, but you also, you're going to have a nice look at the playoff machine. You need that nerd Steve Kornaki to give you a full-on breakdown about what happens if you finish eight and nine and No, I don't want to do it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I'm trying to I'm could know I'm gonna open up that game. No, no I'm I'm staying I'm staying firm when I have a gateway game if we lose it. It's over. It's over

It's over. Good get back. Oh, no, it's. I'm being honest, I'm being realistic. I don't want to play this game. This was the game they had to win. If they won this game, I would have my hopes all the way up. They did not. It makes me realize getting your hopes up for your sports teams is the dumbest thing you could possibly do as a human being. There's no reason for it. Nothing ever good happens out of it. There's just nothing on the other side. But how nice would it be if it was you and green Bay? Winter makes the playoffs and it's all I wanted. Well, the Packers stink too.

Yeah. Well, and I'm looking right now at the... There's the Bears of the fifth pick right now. First and fifth. First and fifth. Yeah, I'm on tank of thumb big time right now. Yeah, I just, I don't know. After a game like today, it's like,

if you look at this, if you look at the box score, you're like, Justin Fields thinks, if you watch the game, you're like, there's a lot of other problems that need to be fixed. So maybe that's the answer, or just fix all the other problems, but whatever. That was a brutal way for them to lose that game,

because you knew as soon as the, like, you just knew how it was going. It's gone this way for two years now where it's like the three and outs start coming in a flurry and you're like, uh-oh, this is about to be a really tight game even though the bears like kind of dominated for the first three quarters. Oh, they did. Yeah. Flacco on the flaccometer. Well, they're defense dominated. They're opposite. Yeah. Flacco was a bum for the first three quarters. Yes. And then it's like elite, elite.

That's why it's so confusing. Because you have to almost like min and black yourself and take the device out and make you forget all the bone-headed mistakes that he made. Yeah. Because he thinks he can make every throw and sometimes, so the one play that the Bears Defender made where it was like at the goal line

right after they got the muff punt. Flacco throws that pick. That was one of the best interceptions. Yes. Yeah. That was incredible. I don't even know if that was a bad throw by Flacco as much as it was just a great play. Yeah.

There was, I mean, the Bears defense was legitimately flying around today and playing like really good football. By the way, Keaton Mitchell did not look good walking off the field. That's, that's just a, that's just like a Ravens running back thing, huh? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm a final tap. Um, yeah. No, you're talking about Stevenson's interception. It was incredible. Yeah.

And yeah, no, the bear's defense makes me feel good, makes me feel warm inside. Everything else, I'm just going to trust Ryan polls and credit to the Browns for being like, I want the Browns, I want the Browns to fucking go on a run now. Black O is like so much fun to watch. The fact that he's out there doing this is insane. And the fact that he makes so many people mad. Yeah.

And he made $75,000 to that. Yeah, shout out. He's actually did our podcast joke in real life. He makes, he gets in board apes. Yeah, he, yeah, $,000 dollars an episode per win. Yeah. And then in the playoffs, he gets like a hundred thousand, 200,000, 500,000, a million, two million, something like that. To imagine if you got a check for two million dollars for just waiting for

long. Yeah, that'd be sick. Yeah, this is what I'm saying. I should have made it like a billion dollars. Yeah. Is if you're well, I don't understand why owners don't do that. I don't know maybe it's illegal. But if you're, well, I don't understand why owners don't do that. I don't know, maybe it's illegal. But if you're an owner, like if you had as much money, how much money does Jimmy has in the mouth? Billions.

Let me say billions. That's worth. You should give him discounts on, on pilot flying J gas for like 8.8 billion dollars. If I had 8.8 billion dollars and I owned an NFL franchise, and I would definitely put in for my quarterback I'd be like if you win a Super Bowl, I'll give you $200 million. It's so worth it. $200 million.

But you have to bet it against me in one hand of Blackjack. And if I beat you, you don't get any of it. And if you beat me, it doubles. I like that. We should be NFL owners. Yeah. We'd be so much better than Tapper. He would want to come play for us.

Yeah, for sure. Why wouldn't you? 200 million dollars probably get investigated and... 200 million dollars maybe. That's what the contract is. Yes. 200 million dollar bonus if you win the Super Bowl parentheses maybe. If you have the balls.

Yeah. Yeah. If you're a man enough. Yeah. Okay. Moving on, bear season over. I want everyone to disrespect me. I'm not, I appreciate you trying to be like,

hey, look at the playoff machine. Just respect my wishes. I'm addicted to this. It's over. This was the gateway game. I've never won a gateway game. My happiness doesn't deserve it. It is what it is.

Okay. The one thing I did have that was happy today. It was the box 34 Packers 20. So I got roasted this was this is actually I Take a little blame for the Bears lost today because I got roasted so we have seven games on I was very into the Bears game today Like I was it was my gateway game So I wasn't watching every second in the Packers game I I looked over and it was at the end of the game when Jordan Love had a fumble. And I'd sit on a sweep being like, he sucks.

And all the Packers said, it's like, no, he was fucking great today. What I should have said was the Packers defense sucks because they got absolutely torched by Baker Mayfield. So I take it back, Jordan Love played well today. The Packers defense was a joke of a unit today. And the Packers went from from no one wants to play them in the playoffs to, are these guys

gonna actually get in the playoffs? Yeah, so they've lost back-to-back games to Tommy DeVito and Baker Mayfield. Yup. Tommy dropped 24 on, Baker dropped 34 on, Baker looked great today. Four touchdown passes. It's 381 yards.

If I'm the Bucks, I think I might just run it back with Baker next year. Why not? Why not? You're probably going to make the playoffs, probably going to win the division. Yeah, we talked about it on Friday. I agree with you. Yeah, bring Baker back.

Baker, I still go back to the way Cleveland just kind of like flushed him down the toilet. Yeah. He was the best quarterback that Cleveland's seen and along to certainly like the best one that they've drafted. And he also played. Yeah. And because he can't keep a guy healthy now. Because he wasn't perfect and there were some throws where he like,

well, I wish that maybe he had taken some time to heal himself before coming back and trying to go through it. Guess what? That's not Baker's call. Of course, the player is going to want to play all the time. Your coach has to be like, no, Baker, you can't play with a torn labor. Right. Shut it down for a little bit. The Browns like really fucked up by getting rid of a baker may field.

And then he was on the Panthers and everyone was like, oh baker stinks. No, he just caught an acute case of pantheritis. Yeah. And he had to get that out of his system. That rule was his coach. Matt rule, he had Matt rule. He had full blown Panthers. Yeah.

Which is not a position, it's almost unrecoverable. Yes. And he got a bad deal in Cleveland, bad deal in Carolina looked okay for the Rams in spot dude. Yeah. came in. I still think Baker Mayfield is a good NFL quarterback. He's like in that above average tier for you. He was 22 for 28, 381 yards for touchdown. This is best game since the Browns. Like he was in incredible today. And the Packers defense stinks. They absolutely stinks.

Back to back weeks. Like, and Bigger Mayfield's better than Tommy DeVito, who will get to, but think about it. They, you know, Tommy DeVito drives to that field goal when Monday night, and then Bigger Mayfield, every time he looked up, the box had a guy wide open running down the field. Do we need to talk about LaFlora as being a coordinator killer? You know how, the box had a guy wide open and running down the field. Do we need to talk about Laflora's being a coordinator killer?

You know how, when you have a quarterback, that's a coach killer, that he's slapped to that label? Laflora might be a coordinator killer. So he's fired three coordinators in five years as the Green Bay Packers coach. And it looks like Joe Berry's probably gonna get fired. What coordinator's did he fire? Let's see

Would the hack it hack it didn't get fired. He got provoked. Yeah, he got it as a head. He got a big time promoted Yeah, but no, he's he's fired three coordinators. This would be the fourth if Joe Berry gets fired Wait, so who else though? Did he fire? I'm just wondering what side of the ball. I don't have the list in front of me right now. Okay. I'm just saying coordinators in general. Like LaFlure exists on a plane above his coordinators. Yeah.

Where he has like a great sense of who his fall guy's going to be at all times. I know that Packers fans have hated Joe Barry for a couple years now. I'm trying to remember who their coordinator was before that. The thing is, Packers fans all just want a Jim Leonard to be their coordinator for the longest time. And hold on. Mike Petten was before Joe Berry, I believe? Yes.

So, yeah, the defense of coordinator for the Packers, I think, is always just the most hated guy in Green Bay. Yeah. It feels like. Yeah, because always just the most hated guy in Green Bay. Yeah. It feels like. Yeah, because he is the cure to all your answers. If you have an offensive minded head coach, and you have Aaron Rogers as your quarterback, what are you gonna do?

You're not gonna fire Aaron Rogers best friend. Right. So it's like, okay, well, we need to fire somebody else who has the title of coordinator. Yes, but yeah, the Packers are, it happened so fast that they beat the Chiefs on Sunday and football. football and I mean hand up I probably shouldn't have crowned them as the team definitely go to the playoffs

Bad analysis by me. I apologize. That was sloppy but Two weeks later and it's like this team stinks. There's events can't stop anyone. They need to kick in the ass They need to have they need to put Matt LaFlor on sabbatical and have Rich Bessacea step in. Just coach them for one week. Just ask. I actually think that Rich Bessacea could walk into Matt LaFlor's office and be like,

hey, Matt, you're fired. Yeah. And Matt LaFlor be like, yes, sir. Yeah. Okay, no problem. They do have, they do play the Panthers next week, so. I know. I have to root for the Packers next week.

That'll be nice, yeah. Yeah, that should cure a lot of the problems. I've, I've have to root for the Packers next week. That'll be nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That should cure a lot of the problems. I've, I've decided big hat cover years. I've decided that I want the Packers to keep winning. And I want the Bears to keep winning. And then I want a week 18 game between the Packers and the Bears winner gets into the playoffs. How awesome with that. It's already done. No, but that's they had to both win today. It's over. That was my point

That was the gateway. I don't know if it's today was the gateway. I told you close your ears. You weren't supposed to hear that's true No, but today was it you can't the bears can't they're fucking five and eight do five and nine What's their path? Everyone else losing a million games. Yeah, it's not possible. They didn't get the giant graphic No, it's not possible. They're still in the giant graphic. No, it's not possible. They're still in the hunt. Yeah. No, they can't. It's stupid.

But they can. But they can't. Jake, can you come up with a formula that has the Packers and the Bears meeting in the last week? Today was the day and the winner gets in. It both teams won today. It would have been like collision course. That would have been the ultimate.

It still could happen. I just not gonna have you shudder root I rooted harder today for the Bears. That would have been the ultimate. It still could happen. I just not gonna have you should have rooted harder today for the Bears. I took my after ball. Yeah, you took your after ball. You wanted something that was, I had a lot of emotional ties with Joe Flacko. I've been spending the whole week thinking about this.

Today was the day it had to happen. Yeah. And it didn't happen. I got Jake on it. Packers, Stephen sucks. But Jordan Love did look good, I mean, I went back and watched some clips because I wanted to correct myself.

That's how much I, I take my job. I want to get it right. Yeah, if he was making some really nice throws, we try not to be wrong. I'm gonna play a take. I was, I was in the moment wrong because I, I watched a fumble that was very funny to me. And it was also a fourth down fumble

So it didn't really matter to defend him a little even though I don't want to but yeah Jordan love was not the problem Their defense gave up 381 yards to Baker Mayfield and then I think even they were getting gashed the run game to it was Just bad all around. Let's see What was it? Yeah, they give up 100 yards rushing and 381 yards passing. Jake's doing it right now. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm looking at tweets. I see one formula. That's like 15 things. Yeah, it's the dumbest. It's over. PFTU. You know how to chance to root for it. And it's it's dead. It's higher than 0.0%.

What do you think I've been getting so nervous about and saying gateway game and talking about how big this game was? It was because of week 18. It's because you had playoff implications. It was because if they got to, if they, if they ran the table and the packers ran the table, week 18 would have been for everything. I guess I'm just looking at the NFC South.

I'm looking at the playoff records of like the Vikings at 7 and 7 A couple other teams that are at or beneath 500 that are technically still in it that could lose some more games Max is doing on the playoff calculator and yeah, I love the playoff machine The playoff machine on ESPN is like my very favorite thing in the entire world to use PFT Do a couple ads and max will work on it? Okay. He's got it. Okay, we'll get it after the ads.

All right Max, read it to us or Jake. It's going to feel like Francesca reading just numbers and names. It also does the opposite of what we're talking about. That's why the Packers and the Bears need to win today because I'm reading this right now. It has like Panthers over Packers. It's basically getting the Packers eliminated before. No, I plugged it in the SPM playoff. And then week 18 I had the Packers

reading the Bears and the Bears beating the Packers and they flip flop the seven seed. Okay, so then tell us. All right. Eagles over see all. I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm you wanted this. I'm reading it right now. Yeah, Eagles over see Hawks tonight. Week 16, Saints over Rams, Falcons over Colts, Titans over see Hawks, Lions over Vikings, Panthers over Packers, Jags over Bucks, Bears over Cardinals, Eagles over Giants. Okay, there's a couple of red flags in that one. Yeah. Week 17, Bears over Falcons, Giants over Rams, Bucks over Saints, Packers over Vikings, Week 18. Lions over Vikings, and then Bears Packers becomes win and an in. There's like, there's like four games on there that I'm circling like that will never happen. Yeah. Eagles over Giants.

No, I guess that could happen. Yeah, I guess so. Eagles goes over, you think, I don't know. Max is gonna be rooting for that game. Tommy DeVito or the Eagles? He was pretty upset. And it's for decorating our boy. Titan Seahawks. Titan's over Seahawks. Maybe if Drew Locke's plan, I could talk myself into that.

Yeah, there's, there's a couple if you once here. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna happen. I would say giant's overams is gonna be tough too. Yeah, panthers over packers. Pretty tough. Yeah, bears over packers, probably pretty tough. Either way, maybe it's for the best. Yeah, I told you the gateway's closed.

It might be for the best though. I feel like I had all these hopes and dreams and like it came smashing down upon me and then you showed up like two minutes after and you're like, hey, what if this happened? It could. And I was like, no dude, that was what we were just hoping and dreaming about.

It could. Now, what would actually be the worst thing? This is what I'm saying maybe for the best that it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. It's over. It's for the best. It's over.

I'm not gonna do a memes thing. I could see a world where going into that potential week 18 matchup where the bears win. They lose that draft pick, the high draft pick. And then whoever picks in that position takes like an all pro hall of fame player. And you're like, oh yeah, looking back on that meaningless game against the Packers that I wanted so desperately. No, but it would have gone to go to the playoffs.

Yeah, never say going to the playoffs is meaningless. Yeah. That's a fact. Going to the playoffs is meaningless. Yeah, that's a fact. Go to the playoffs, never meaningless. Maybe if your Saints fan it might be. I don't know. Actually, maybe you go to the playoffs your four wins away from winning the Super World.

That's true. I feel like the Saints have reason to believe now. Like they've got reason to think, maybe we can win a playoff game. This was a big shot in the arm for that. I guess the Steelers run to the playoffs. That'd be meaningless. Yeah.

There's a lot of teams. It'd be meaningless. But if the Bears run the table, it would not be meaningless. Yeah, for like a Bears program, we never go to the playoffs. Program I like that. Especially with the number one pick. Be good for recruiting in the NIL. Yeah.

Yeah. Bears go to the playoffs. They're portal. Oh, you know that Harboh would take on and be like, we got a strong program here. Yeah. All right, next game, not a strong program. Chiefs 27, Patriots 17, Hank said on up, Billy's happy actually didn't look that bad for a little bit. Yeah, he was, they were throwing it all over the field in the first half. Yeah, he likes everyone.

He hops. He does. He dances back. He likes to hop up. The offensive line was bad. They were throwing it all over the field the first half. Yeah, he likes everyone. He hops. He does. He dances back. He likes to hop up. The offensive line was bad. They were giving him no time, but he was getting out of a lot of situations. There's that one sack where like the entire chief's team was like on him. I think it might have actually ended up in the interception

on him like instantly. He had no time. The interception in their own territory was bad. How do you feel about the defense? Are you still high on the defense? Yeah, I mean the defense is like one of the best defenses in the league since week 10. And the report was kind of walked back a little bit.

The Bella check report I'm talking about where they said they've already made the decision to move on from them. They walked that back a little bit, and they're like no decision's been made. Right, just a report. Yeah, did you see the new hotness? What's that? The new report? This is I should tell you, PFT first. Yeah. I mean, like I told you last week on Thursday, that was a fake news report. This is very funny, Hank, because a lot of times, like the world's

out to get us is bullshit. This one made me chuckle because they spent all week saying Belichek was gonna get fired and then the report I saw today was that Jared Mayo is rubbing people the wrong way because he's supposed to be the successor. So they just basically were like, oh that Belichek report was fake. This guy's actually the problem.

I like that. What do we like that? We got two camps going at it. the problem. I like that. What do we like about that? We got two camps going at it. Yeah, I feel like that might have been the Bellicere getting his word out there. Like, if you're gonna replace me, you better have a guy lined up.

I don't think that this is the right guy. Yeah, that was like a make good by Curran, like my bad. But the thing is, it probably will happen. Like, it probably will happen. They're just mad that it is all happening publicly. Yeah, they thought that they would be able to handle it differently than every other team has ever done it because of the Patriots and they do things the Patriot way there. Report.

Patriots coach Jared Mayo has been rubbing people the wrong way this season via Greg Bedard. Multiple team sources indicated Mayo has rubbed at least some people the wrong way. Hopefully not craft. Is that a shot at least some people the wrong way. Hopefully not craft. Is that a shot at orchid stays? Yeah. Yeah. Multiple people the wrong way in the building since his extension and when he perhaps received a strong indication you be the successor and the picture that was used was

Mayo and Steve Belchuk. Oh. So yeah, yeah, he's probably treating Steve like he hasn't earned anything. Interesting. Interesting. Be farther from the truth. What do you, what do you think in Max? This is beside the point, but we just saw the the injury video. Oh, I saw in real life. It was crazy, dude. Mitchell. It was Will Smith.

I can't really, I'm going to watch at all that. I'm gonna watch it live. I just ended up in the group. I'm gonna watch it live. I did not see it when it happened. Graphic knee isn't supposed to bend this way. No, it's Willis McGay. Let's see, he's stepping. Oh! What the fuck? It's an obtuse angle.

Oh. Uh, no. I think it's an acute angle. No acute is less than 90 degrees. Yeah, yeah exactly. So it becomes It bends so the the joint is like that it's smaller. No His his knee was like this right. It's like that's above That's more than nine. I guess it depends on which side of the knee we're referring to when we're judging the angle if we're talking about the front The front is acute the back is obtuse. Okay, so I am personally being obtuse right now. Wow Get well soon Yes, bad

Yeah Back's I also just enjoy I hope they keep Cateri's Tony around for the playoff run because watching him blow a playoff game would be just It's at this point. It is 100% like if they keep him around they have no one to blame but themselves he is He's actually like I'm getting to the point where I think that Someone's trying to take my homes down and they're like, we'll use Kaderius Tony to do it. Either that or my homes got so bored, dominate the NFL that he's playing on expert mode with Kaderius Tony, who will probably cost you

at least seven points trying to catch a football. That was the funniest intercept, you ever, he was playing like, keep it up. Yeah. Like, let me make sure he basically couldn't catch the ball. I was like, wait, hold on, let me make sure I pop it up one last time so someone can catch the ball It also doesn't help matters that he just looks insane. Yeah whenever they show him

He's just like got this big smile on his eyes are crazy I he is the one he's a rare example, but I feel like in three or four games this year if you put a average person on the field in Codarius Tony's position, it might actually be better off for the chiefs. Yeah, because you would never get the ball thrown to you, because you never be able to get open. But at least you wouldn't actively cost your team points. Hand the ball for the other team points. Yeah. I, my homes like he actually showed a lot of frustration for the first time, which he should have been the game last week. Well, that was the rest. I'm frustration for the first time which he should have been the end of the game

Last week. Well, that was the rest. I'm saying for the first time its own teammates But yeah, if Kinerius Tony ends up playing on a playoff roster He's going to fuck it up and then they're gonna be like we don't know what happened. Yeah, how could we know what happened Dude, how could we see this he we see coming he's shown them a million times But they I think Kelsey drop one today, too He did yeah boy ass play. Yeah tired fingers They also they showed Taylor Swift up in the box and she used the f word yep Loudly yep, and you have to wonder like is that the kind of girl that we want as the face of the NFL?

Nope, I don't think so. I saw a good caption online and said Taylor Swift when she found out the lighthouse was real. That's good, that's funny. It's good. You hate that lighthouse, ain't you? You have no respect for the lighthouse. I love what it is. No, we built it because we had an old lighthouse

and then we had a scoreboard and had to build a bigger scoreboard and then you had to build a bigger lighthouse to look over the new bigger scoreboard. And it's one of the biggest lighthouses in the country. It's not that good. It's on person. Ah, yeah, as a father of a swifty, I don't... I think I'm gonna have to ban it now.

I mean, it's disgusting. My son did actually say fuckhead the other day, and I had to... I had him tell me it again, because I wanted to laugh, and then I was like, don't ever fucking say that. There's only got very confused. Yeah, no, I slipped out. I was like, don't fucking say that.

And then he's like, we what? It was a whole thing. I'm not great at that. Budge stuff. Yeah, that frick But a four and a half year old saying fuckhead. That's funny. Yeah, it's hard not to laugh. I laugh at the worst moments is that the worst Claudette was the layer remember him. He exists. That was a great catch that he had today and the chiefs were back on their fuck Shit that they do in So they they're doing the thing trying to keep loose Let's put in some weird plays that you've never seen before some of that Andy read he likes to tank her with during the week Yeah, he did some tinkering this time. We had the homes lined up as a running back, right?

Is that set up? He had like a two running back back. Yeah Well homes was offset to the side and then they they ran it inside and it awesome. Playing it's like, okay, that's the chiefs are having fun. I think they had like such an emotionally, they were a little bit extra with their loss last week. Yeah, it was a get right. And then Andy reads like, okay, we're going to we're going to do some fun stuff in the red zone. Like the ring around the Rosie Bullshit that we do sometimes keep the boys loose out there. He's like Gordon Bombay. Yeah, throwing the beach ball out on the ice being like, remember to have fun guys. That phone, replaying a kids game. And you know, as a fan of the Patriots and the historical franchise that they are, it's

sad to see that we've fallen so hard that now we're the team, that other teams practice their most fucked up, complicated plays against. You're the get right. Where they get right team. But that's, you know, such as life. That's how it goes. You got to take the downs with the ups. I completely forgot about this, but it just reminded me.

Remember when Jake said Clyde Edwards, hey, Lair. Yeah, that was, I was gonna say something just then, but it's E-Lair. Yeah, oh, we know. Yeah, that was, we've never thought it was a Lair. That was one of my first ever mistakes on this show. And I think about it every day. Damn.

Do you keep a list of your mistakes? I have them in my head. What's your biggest mistake on the show? My biggest mistake on this show. I just had a joke that I did not say there. Okay, tell me. What are you gonna say? I'll tell you off here. I had a joke that I did not say there. Okay. Tell me what are you gonna say? I'll tell you off air. I'll tell you offline. You could just text me over. Okay. All right. Yeah

I'm trying to think of other ones of the step on my body armor sport water Yeah, the other thing I noted Rishi rice is good. Yes. That's good for them. What are you guys betting on back there? That was a perfectly coordinated. We're still switching out this over. It's not hitting. There's a still a shout out.

No, there is. You guys are Delulu. B, B, you're delulu, here is Delulu as it gets. Jake, I don't think you've made any mistakes that have ever been actually like a consequence, minus the whole air thing. That was so fun. Yeah, that was terrible.

Yeah. Trying to think what else, they didn't even made no others. Look at the fucking tweedle D and tweedle dumb screaming at each other in the boot. You know what it is because Jake's mistakes are like they pale in comparison, even his worst ones pale in comparison

to like our, like smallest mistakes. Yeah. Well, yeah, I lose sleep over the small ones. Yeah. And meanwhile, Max literally slept through his biggest one. Not pushing the button. He had a fucking nice night of sleep.

Oh, I thought you were gonna say when he went out and blacked out. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Superbowl. Yeah. Also, that was one of the more fun nights I've had in part of my take out that night with you guys. Yeah, it was a great time

There's so much fun watch it I was surprised that night before the Super Bowl because I thought that Jake might just leave the podcast after hanging out with Max No, and being like this thing about my he was making a fool of himself. Yeah, is this is this what you guys are normally late? This is this was almost a year ago So so we got to stop talking about it. No Vegas. We should have one quiz every year. The encore. Tell the story about it. What story? Oh yeah. For your stand up. For tonight. I have a whole story. Oh yeah. Actually. Tell the full story. Yeah. Do you, we might make an exception,

and Hank and PFT and I could maybe act it out. Reenactment. Yeah. Um, last thing, Hank, they finally did the insult graphic to Bill Bell check on the broadcast. Which one? The wins one, the wins one.

Yeah. With Brady without Brady. Yeah. I feel like they've been, that's always been an online thing, and then when they put it on the graphic, it's like official, that had to hurt, right? It doesn't, because it's like, it was 20 years of Brady.

Yeah, it was Brady. Yeah, so a big sample size. Yeah, it was Bill Balecheck with Brady 266 and 75 without Brady 43 and 52. But it's like one of those things where it's just, I view it as people that say that are just haters because it's like, yeah, this was the greatest run of all time in sports.

It was great. And people are trying to knock him down by saying you're not as good as that right now. Right, right. But I was just shocked to actually see it on, I feel like they've never done that on the graphic. Yeah, me neither. Yeah, one thing that you should prepare yourself for Hank is if Bellicek does decide to resume his career elsewhere, not in New England.

Right now he's at 301 career wins. George Hallis second place all time with 318 Don Chula first place all time with 328 wins. So he's 27 wins away from passing Don Chula to become the winning his head coach of all time. When that happens and he's not wearing a Patriots logo and he's not on the Patriots sideline, that's going to be a real mind fuck for you. Yeah, that'll hurt, but he's a student of the game. He's a football legend. He coached elsewhere before, you know, if he coached somewhere after, so be it. Okay, okay. You can't pee after you.

You know how it is. You're not gonna get people to get us to hate on our heroes. That's true. That's very true. Very true. Okay, next up, dolphins 30 Jets 0. The New York Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs. Memes.

It's a sad sad day. At what point? Producers back though. Yes. I was gonna say at what point this week is he gonna be like, I would have been back. Would have ran the table. But, I know I've been talking for the last two months

about how I'm circling this, this commander's game as the day that I come back from an unprecedented Achilles injury and Now there's really nothing that he can do that would benefit the New York Chets by coming back and playing Yeah, I thought that game was gonna be a FedEx field Uh-huh, and that would have been an all-time script, but oh Was it a re-angered? Oh my god. Yeah, he no he would have died. Yeah, that field would have killed him or it fallen on him or something but He would have died. Yeah. That field would have killed him or fallen on him or something. But during practice this week, Aaron Rogers probably did the one thing that he can't do

in terms of Zach Wilson's fragile little confidence. He played defensive back on the scout team and he intercepted Zach Wilson. Yeah, he made a one handed interception. No. Was it off Zach Wilson or was it a different quarterback? I'm not sure. I saw Richard Meenie's tweet. Yeah, he was picking on the quarterbacks

as a defensive player during the week. You can't do that, Aaron. You got to drop those. Damn. Yeah, very, very tough times for Jets fans. This was an ass kicking. Zach Wilson left the game twice. Yes.

The first time he left the game, there was some speculation about whether or not he had a concussion. He left the game and they told Jeff Darlingarlington that it was because of a head issue that he's working with and not a concussion. Turns out he was just dehydrated. Yep. He left which I guess your mouth, that's where you drink from.

Yep. I guess that could be classified as a head injury. And then he did, I think, go into the concussion protocol later on in the game after a different hit. But I felt kind of bad for Zach Wilson during this game because they were just not blocking anybody. And it seemed like they're scripted, like the design of the plays was for him to just get the snap and then run diagonally backwards and throw the ball either at his closest

receiver's feet or throw it out of bounds. That seemed to be what they were, what they're trying to accomplish in an offense. Right. It was tough to watch. Yeah, it was very tough to watch. The dolphins, that was a good bounce back for them. They needed to kick the shit out of someone, right? Yeah. And now they have Jake, you are on, it's the fraud bull.

The dolphins in the Cowboys is the fraud bull. The loser of this game, no one will take serious. serious yeah but it's so on a fell for the dolphins to lose this game people account amount it'll be the Ravens Ravens on the road I'm gonna be back on I know I won't be back on the my I truly think that whoever loses cowboys dolphins I'm out on with they should they showed another tough stat on the screen that said he most hurts touchdown this year. He has seven more touchdowns this season than the entire New York Jets offense. He's leading the league in touch sounds,

which is crazy because if you asked anyone that question, they would have been like Christian McAfry. Yeah, he's got 17 Russian touchdowns. It's crazy. It's nuts. And they did this without Tyree, too. Yeah, and Tyree, I think he was healthy going into the game. He was like running routes on the field,

looking good, explosive. And they were like, you know what, we don he was healthy going into the game. He was like running routes on the field, looking good, explosive. And they were like, you know what, we don't really need the best receiver in the NFL to win this game, 30 or nothing. Yes, yes. Well, you can say, Jake, revenge of the two of fingers, part two. Oh, yeah, destroyed. Two of fingers was funny. I'll stand by that forever.

All right. Sure we'll hear about it next year. What? The two of fingers, yeah. You never let that go. Never. Yeah, I about it next year. What? To do the fingers, yeah. You never let them echo, never. Yeah, I thought it lost to you. I still think I was very funny fan behavior. I know it's a sensitive subject.

Just the idea of someone doing that to you in like the 300 level of met life. We'll always crack your eyes. I guess it's Tyler Thompson. Yeah, it's like the idea of somebody thinking that that was like a good thing to do. Yeah, it's just, it's so NFL. that was like a good thing to do. Yeah, it's just it's so NFL right and also The fact that they found the one guy that could do it too. It was like legitimately offended. Yeah, it's taken back like Jake

Was legitimately offended by Jake took serious umbridge. Yeah, keep it mind at the time It was a week after it happened and we didn't know if two would ever play football again People said like if he had one more, his career could be in trouble. Yeah, but remember he said that McGurber was funny. So he was fine. He laughed the entire movie. Yeah, he laughed the entire movie. The two is the man.

This is a big game for the two is nothing without Tyree. Tyree, merchant, yeah. He said, you know, he had a good game. Yeah, I've been watching the hard knocks about the dolphins, the in season hard knocks. Yeah, it's pretty good. Like you can't, you can't dislike Mike McDaniel.

He's a fun guy and you want to root for him. They also did like a big profile and Alec Engold, which was awesome. That is. It's just more football. You get bonus football during the week. Yeah. I stand by the fact that Steven Ross

doing the Waddle has ruined the Waddle for me. Yeah. They just, they're now showing them every time. But yeah, the Dolphins needed needed like kind of like the chiefs, whereas like just get right, just kick the share out of the team that has no business being on the field with you. Now you feel good, now let's go play the home stretch.

I do think that an owner doing the waddle, it's better than the owner like trying to rip off a gritty. True or a dab. True. And the owners would dab, that was always a tough look. True. At least with Steven Ross, when he does the waddle, you're like, is that just how he walks?

Right. He's old and frail. Right. And you have that moment where you're like, oh, no, he's, he's doing a dance. Yeah, when he, when Steven Ross does the waddle, you don't know if he's doing the waddle, or if someone had like knocked into him like two hours ago.

Yeah. And he just still is just going back and forth. He's got a hip injury. Yeah. He's still with. Yeah. He just keeps going back and forth. By the way, the Ravens are going to win. Lamar, that was an awesome run. He's fun. Yeah. Anything else on the... Oh, I want to say dolphins. I know the Jets offense sucks,

but the whole reason that I have believed in the dolphins in the last couple of weeks is because of Vic Fangeo. Today, their defense was awesome. Shut out. Hard to shut out a team in the NFL. It is. So you get credit for it for me, no matter what. So yeah, that's why I believe in the Dolphins is Vic Fangio. That's the name.

That's the guy who I believe in. Okay, Texans Titans. Congratulations to the GC Texans for winning the uniforms back in our own eyes. Texas 19, Titans 16, yeah, I, this game sucked. But yeah, congrats to the Texas stay alive in the playoffs. Like this is a actually huge win for the Texans because without CJ Stroud, the O'Neill Kable Collins, obviously, Tink Del, we put him out for the year a couple of weeks ago.

And Case Kingdom had one of those pick sixes. It was like, fuck, that's why he's Case Kingdom. But yeah, this was a huge win for the Texans to stay alive, knowing that they get healthy, and their defense was awesome. They completely, I think, how many yards did Derek Henry have? He was.

I actually have that stat because he said a record today. Okay, because I was just saying anecdotally, I didn't write it down. Yeah, I felt like every time I looked at that stat because he said a record today. Okay, because I was gonna say anecdotally, I didn't write it down. Yeah, I felt like every time I looked at that game, Derek Henry was getting zero yards. So Derek Henry had 16 carries for nine yards. Okay, so I was right. Which is his worst game that he's ever played in the NFL.

He also became the first player in league history to get 20 or more touches and register less than 15 yards from scrimmage. So this was... yards per carry and and they got eliminated from the playoffs today. Yeah, and we'll love it. It's got hurt and we'll love it. It's got hurt and Derek Henry spoke to the media after the game was like this sucks because I might not ever put on this uniform after the season because he's gonna be a free agent at the end of the year Oh, I think because it's actually wanted because the Texansans wanted. Yeah. So never wear the Houston Oilers jersey again. But yeah, he was like upset after this game. Something that you don't really see that much from Derek Henry

of being like, yeah, you know, I might not realistically, I'm probably not going to be here next year. We talked about the cliff. And what was it? Was it 10,000 carries or something? Something like that. Yeah. Shout out to Case Kingdom though.

Case Kingdom has never lost a game as a Houston Texans starter Whoa, he's three and oh all time. That's huge. It's huge. I want to thought he'd started way more game Mr. Perfect. Yeah, he's because he feels like the platonic ideal of a Houston Texans backup quarterback Yeah, when they went through that like the TJ Yates era Matt Shaw ride Fitzpatrick, you name it. They all played. They were just like nine different iterations of K-Skinham.

Yeah, if you put them all together. Yeah, he had just started two games for him until today. Yeah, and the like Devon Singletary, he was cast off by the bills and he basically like saved. The Texas season was saved today. Yeah, it was because they, I know that they still might not make the playoffs. So we don't know when CJ Strauss coming back, hopefully next week, but they actually have a chance now to play out the string and still get in the playoffs,

which no one thought was going to happen, especially with case key employing. They could do it. So they have the Browns next week. And then they've got the Titans again, the week after. I really wanted this game to be a tie. And then at the Colts, it was so close to be a tie. Yeah, we've been teased. We was like, what, 40 seconds? We've been, we've been teased.

Titees so much this year, and we need to get one. I just need that one dash one in the record column to just like combo break it. Yeah. Make it look interesting on the statue. Oh, it was, I mean, the the field goal happened with with like no time Time left, but it was the The run the touchdown run with 50 seconds left when they called that back. Yeah I was like we got it. We got the top. Yeah, I think the bangles are gonna get us tied

They've come so close so many times. Do we think the taxes are getting the playoffs? I think they might because again, they get to play It's a tights again. Browns Titans Colts. They're just there doesn't seem to be enough spots in the Fc playoffs for all the teams I want to see in the playoffs. I agree This is gonna be a problem. This is why we need bowl games in the NFL. Yeah season teams They don't get into the playoffs should be matched up in the most entertaining matchup possible. And they should play one more game. Maybe the winner of that game is the one that gets the better draft pick. Yeah.

Out of whichever two teams those are planning against each other. That's the tiebreaker. What, uh, we do have the thing up max right now. What's the text and chance for the playoffs right now? This is like a calculator to see how you get into the playoffs. Oh, damn It's a mathematician over there. Yeah, I mean memes has become an expert on this. That this all for not Yeah, figuring out a way Texans are at 55% yeah, so the 55% to get to playoffs

Yeah, cuz I mean the Jaguars losing today. What are the Jaguars at now? Probably isn't gonna update. What about the bills? What are the bills? Oh, fuck. Goddamn it, Max. This is hard. Bills are 69, nice.

Nice, nice. I think they're 30%. I, that nerd Kornaki told me they were 30% to win the division. I think they're much higher than 30%. I agree. I think it says 40 right here according to New York Times. We don't trust them.

Yeah. We should put out a statement about the jerseys because it really pisses people off. Yeah. It's crazy how mad people get. The jerseys belong to use it. Also, it wasn't just the jerseys. Vrable wore the bum Phillips ass.

Yeah, he did. Which was stolen valor. Yeah. I would never say that to his face because he kicked a shit out of me. It's just, it's very funny because we don't think they're ever gonna give up the jerseys because why would you give up a jersey that's sweet?

But man, do Titans fans get upset about it. They do. Listen, you did take their team. You took their team and you lost the jersey game. I gotta go back and find it. When we had this first argument, like September, and one guy replied to me and was like, you don't know any of the history.

They wanted to keep the team in Houston, but they wouldn't give them enough money to build a stadium. It's like, so literally how every team gets moved. Every team, yeah. It's like, can you imagine if the, whatever Las Vegas baseball team they're gonna have for the Oakland A's uniforms? Yeah.

I don't like it. Yeah, I like it at all. They're like, oh no, Oakland never supported the A's. It was, you know, the city's fault. Is how it always goes. Yeah, the owner wanted more money and the city said, no, we're not gonna spend tax money on you guys. We need food for kids in school.

Yeah. Owner finds other city that will take team, uses other city as leverage against the current city. Yeah. Current city says, fuck off. Because you have billions of dollars to pay for your own goddamn stadium. Owner says, all I need to do is get my other rich owner friends to buy in on this.

And I can go get a new stadium, new stadium, more revenue for everyone. Yeah, and then fans get fucked. And then once we move the team, then all my other rich owner friends, their franchises become worth more money. Correct. And then since their franchises are worth so much more money, then they can go to their local cities and say,

hey, we need more money to stick around for a new stadium. We need more suites. And then the city or town that they're in says no, and then the owner says, okay, fuck you, I'm gonna make myself and my own reference money again. It's a big cycle. Yeah. Socks.

So, yeah, we should put out a statement saying the jerseys go back. I will not acknowledge any further Titans games where they play wearing the Oilers uniform. Ooh, I like that. Not gonna count their wins. Same. Same.

But if they lose, but I count their losses twice. So the the the Titans are eliminated. They're actually five and ten. Yep. Yeah, they lost with those on. Uh, okay. Saints, giants, Saints were wrapping up the early games. Saints, 24, giants, six. What they did to our boy, Tommy DeVito. It was the anti-Italian discrimination. It really was. It was. They did the finger celebration. They did the finger celebration.

They basically knocked him out multiple times. His sad PFT. That's not your gesture. If you're not Italian, you can't use that gesture to an Italian person as a way of demeaning them. It's bullshit. It's bullshit. It's a hate crime even.

It's also like, Tommy DeVito's like, he's not... I understand if he was like, my home's doing something then you do it back to him because you beat the biggest baddest dude on the block. Like, can't Tommy DeVito just do his thing? Well, this is another case of how, anytime you have a celebration that's now, you have to be ready for somebody to do it back to you.

I understand how it works and I wasn't surprising to me whatsoever. But like deep down I was like, come on, Tommy DeVito, like he's on draft. What are we doing? Why are you guys taking personal offense to Tommy DeVito? I did love his agent in the stands, Sean Stalato wearing the Italian American sports Hall of Fame jacket.

Yep, you get a green jacket. Yep, when you get inducted in. He also had the pants to match. Yeah, the pants were green. Mine's gotten the whole suit. Yep. We're also now getting Tommy DeVito insult stories coming out be aware it's bullshit or Bell said Coniglio's p3 and bakery in Morristown, New Jersey says it was no longer have Tommy DeVito this the restaurant this Tuesday They said they were told his fee increased from 10,000 to 20,000 after the Packers win and the family business said they couldn't afford it I like that. I like that they calling back up was like yeah, we told you it was gonna be 10 price goes up

Sean Slotto refuted this and there was never a price never price. There's never a price ever an agreement in place I just feel it. I know people are gonna come after our boy Tommy. We can't let it happen We have a fight for him. He did get, he got jacked up a time. Oh, you got killed. And they put him in the concussion protocol, which I guess he passed. I would love to see what Tommy DeVito's baseline

concussion test is. Yeah. I like the questions they ask him. How many, how many fishes are there? Seven. Yeah, okay, he's good. Kids good. Yeah, who was, yeah, was, uh,

was named Vito. Vito was Vito gay. Yeah, who was yeah was was named Vito Vito is Vito gay. Yeah, yeah, he was yeah, he was well He wasn't gay. He was just sucking off a guy in the park. What was what was Vito's lover's name? Yeah Johnny K Just like a case. Uh, James Winston had an all-time great moment. Yes Before the game they usually have players doing the tunnel walk where they see what type of fashion they're wearing, what clothes are wearing. With James, he was just like walking on the field. That's how he goes to work.

He walks across the football field. And he was carrying this giant briefcase. I have no idea it was inside that suitcase. I want desperately to find out what was in the suitcase. It was definitely some sort of motivational prop that he had. Wait, you don't know. It was nothing. No, that's... Oh, that was a fake story. I tweeted out the video and I was like, I want to know what's in the suitcase. It was definitely some sort of motivational prop that he wait you don't know it was nothing. No that's that's oh that was a fake story. I I tweeted out the video and I was like I want to know what's inside this brief

case. Oh people just I think it's probably like he's got fireworks in there. He's got a Bluetooth speaker maybe even the suitcase itself is a Bluetooth speaker and he's probably got a sandwich in there. I was just trying to think like what would James Winston be carrying in the suitcase and then from the New York Daily News, Leonard from the New York Daily News Leonard from the New York Daily News. He said He opened the case and there was nothing that is that's what's between us and greatness Nothing and then he said that as a joke to me and then the aggregators saw that saw and they're like oh

This guy said that James is carrying nothing in his briefcase to show that's what's now that very well could be actually Yeah, I would not put that past James got it, but I want to know what James was carrying in that suitcase. Yeah, I did too Maybe just like a giant maybe it was a cake shaped as a w could it's been toilet paper. Yeah, man He's bringing his own toilet paper. It's so bad. Yeah, he looks so good Maybe it was like a giant very intricate remote control car that he just brought to the locker room Take it take it for spin with a bullet. A drone? Yeah, drone.

Yeah, he's just drowning around in the dome. I could see him doing that. Yeah. It could just be like a game boy. Yeah. He's definitely the type of backup quarterback that would still get his offensive line in presence like he's the starter.

Yeah. And his, oh my God. It could be watches. Yeah. Could you imagine how much better James Winston's gift to the offensive line would be than Derek Kars? Oh.

James Winston would buy you a fucking present. Derek Kars would get you like a, a Bible. Yeah. Signed him self. Yeah. And be like here. This means more than any. Like I know you, I know you were really hoping

you were gonna get like a souped up golf cart. Yeah. But this will give you years of pleasure. Eternal life really. Yeah. Given you. Yeah. Don't don't let the Yeti cooler feel you fool you. Your real present is the kingdom of heaven. Yeah. Yeah. No. No one wants that from dark car. Uh, Saints actually looked pretty decent. They were fun today. Yeah. Saints look good. Yeah. And then even have Chris a lot of the out there. Yeah. And so you got to be you got to be way happier this week than you were last week if, Saints look good. Yeah. And they didn't even have Chris a lot of the out there. Yeah, so you gotta be way happier this week than you were last week if you're a Saints fan.

Yeah, we're now, now you could be like, we might, if everything clicks correctly, we're a good team. And you know what, in a weird way, if you're a Saints fan, like, I know a home playoff game's fun and all that, like getting in it as a wild card, it feels like you earned it a little more. Yeah, whereas like winning the NFC South,

as the, like everyone knows the worst division, it's like, oh, well, they had to give it to someone. The Saints just earned it the old fashioned way and beat the Rams this weekend on Thursday night. Oh, wait, is it Rams Saints? Yeah, Rams Saints Thursday football. If they beat him on Thursday night football, it's like, oh, hey, look, they went in the hard way.

They didn't just, they earned it. Even though the box would technically be above the States. Yeah. Something about it, I'd be like, yeah, the States deserved it. They earned it because if you're a wildcard team and you get in somehow, then it's like nobody believes in you. You beat out everyone else. Yeah.

You didn't just have to beat out your own division, your own crappy division. Yeah. You beat the entire league. Again, the box would have beaten out the States, but that's the other thing. It doesn't make a difference. Yeah, so it's gonna be an NLA that's that's a huge game

Huge game, but yeah, you if you're the Saints you can make the case like we've had our ups and downs We've we've had to battle through more adversity than the bucks did getting this division We've had to we've had to battle Derrick Carr being out for the year over 17 different times Yeah, and having him just show up for the year over 17 different times. Yeah. And having him just show up multiple. The Saints players, that might be why they hate their car. They're like, they're on the precipice of getting the substitute teacher

taking walking in the door. Yeah. And then their teacher hobbles in. It's like, actually, I'm here to get your workbooks. Like, James being the starter would be so much fun. Yeah. I think that would dare a car It's like if he doesn't practice during the weekend

He's hurt and then he just shows up on game day He hasn't been there for long enough to be able to do that and right people like rally around how tough he's being right He's probably being pretty tough. He's got like nine broken ribs the shoulders fucked up his next hurt whatever If you've been there for a while and the guy's already like you and trust you and know that you're tough, then you can do that sort of thing. If you're new in town and you're just like, no, I'm just gonna show up and play on game day,

probably some of the guys are like, what the fuck's going on? Right, right, exactly. Getting all the good drugs from the team doctor. Yes, yes. I did sense Max kind of rooting for Tommy DeVito. He had some like winpers when he got knocked out max. No, I'm not rooting for him, but I don't like to see people get hurt.

That's not how it's not really true though. You do like to see some people get hurt. I mean, yeah, I also didn't like the disrespect. I can, I can root. I can the disrespect. I can I can root. I can. Did I live? Oh, I just don't like to see the disrespect. I would say we're gonna say that's all what we're gonna say. It's more so that I wasn't rooting for him, but I didn't like to see that against him. But you're gonna be rooting against him as Italian American. Oh, yeah. I saw one.

Someone treated it was a picture of Sean Slotto who will be on the show on Wednesday in his green outfit and everything. And the quote, tweet was just like, I can't believe Italian Americans are even a thing. And it's like, yeah, that actually is kind of funny. Yeah, they are crazy. Yeah, they're fun. Yeah, they're just, they just got character at all times.

If you went back and you had to put like Rocky in the concussion protocol every time you get his bell wrong. Yeah, would never have lasted past the first round. Yeah, Tommy Italian shouldn't have to enter a concussion protocol. It's against their culture Are you waiting for me to come yeah, yeah, yeah sure, yeah So we can knock him out that's how he can't say anything about it. Yeah, what Rocky do is yeah If Max ever complains about the concussions that we're going to give him, we're going to be like, you're not real telling you. I'm real gay.

I've thought about if I lose the thing for the opening, I would just do 15 minutes of Rocky monologues. Wait, like you would just memorize Rocky? Some of it. That would be awesome. It would be pretty good. You might need that. But you have to be shirtless wearing like the Rocky. No, he wears the boxing outfit. No, he has would be awesome. It would be pretty might need that but you have to be shirtless wearing like the rock

No, he wears the boxing outfit. No, it was the beater. He'd be like that a little annoying kid Yeah, no, I hate that kid. Oh the kid that all that Ropey sucks, but that it's the most I caught. It's crazy. What are you talking about? Like that you're talking about Rocky Bell bow. No, I'm talking about the fucking kid that shows up and does it to real rock. To real rock. I'm sorry, I'm not in. He's done it to Hulk Hogan too, I fucking hate that. That was awesome.

I thought he was. That was cool. No, Jake, you don't know about this kid. This kid, it was so annoying. It's like baby drunk. Yeah, he does that everywhere. Oh, that's his thing. That's his thing.

That was like a cool moment. No. And you know what, he's gonna be like doing that. He points it out. I thought it was a die hard Rocky fan. He's gonna know what, he's gonna be like doing that. He's gonna cleanse it out. I thought it was a die hard rocky fact. He's gonna do that once he's like a preteen into his teenage years. He's probably gonna be 30 years old going up

to Sylvester Stallone and like the retirement facility. Yeah, he's done that multiple time. Remember me, I'm cute, I'm little. Yeah, yeah, okay. Me a little small. Also, it's less about the kid. I don't hate the kid. It's like somewhere there's a parent who's, yeah.

That's all they're doing is like, you gotta fucking remember this so I can take a video and go viral. Yeah, they had to meet and greet with Sly. Circleed on the calendar like a month ago. Okay, we got a prep, we got a study for, or the time where you're gonna say all the lines back to Rocky. Yeah, like mom and dad, I just wanna go play with my friends. Like, no, you're gonna fucking learn this because I need to get my numbers.

It's a stage. It's really a stage mom. No different from Honey Boo Boo. Play with my friends like no, you're gonna fucking learn this because I need to get my numbers. Instagram. It's really a stage mom. No different from Honey Boo Boo. Yes. Or Jean-Banay Ramsey. Yes. Yes. Panthers, we date ourselves when we say that.

Which one, Honey Boo Boo? No, Jean-Banay Ramsey. Oh yeah. Captivated a nation. Yeah, there's a whole. You guys don't even have any idea? All we could talk about. What ended up, who ended up with the kill? They don't know. Seriously you guys don't even have any idea all we could talk about What I know who I never was the kill they don't know seriously. They don't they don't know

The dad is suspected by many they never found out who never found out never found. He's fucking Christ I thought they think I lost interest. I didn't think the cops lost interest I think cops were just like yeah, we're on to the next thing damn That's one thing that you hope the police don't lose interest in yeah, I think they could just like uh, yeah, we're on to the next thing damn. That's one thing that you hope the police don't lose interest Then yeah, I think they could just child being murdered. Move it damn Yeah, Jean-Benae. I think it was all the name Jean-Benae just child beauty pageants are the most fucked up thing ever. It's so crazy All right last game of the earliest panthers Falcons

Panthers nine Falcons seven fuck the's Falcons, Pantor's Nine Falcons Seven, Fuck the Atlanta Falcons, pieces of shit, Desneridder, your piece of shit, I never wanna watch you play football again. That was just a painful game. It was soaking wet, there was nobody in the crowd at all. If you saw it when they came back from halftime, there were, I'm gonna guess that there were

like 200 people in the stand. Yeah, Shadow Pantos. He was there. Yeah. Pantos, what is his full Twitter handle? He had a picture and half time. He's like, I'm just, you know, you got to take the bad times with the good. It's like, no, dude, you don't actually have to go to this game. Pantos 704, which is probably his number.

That's the, that's the, the sexuality area code. Oh, okay. Pantos, yeah. He's a diehard panthers fan. I, my theory is that Tepper bought up all the seats, all the ones that were like 45 cents a piece.

He bought them all up so that it wouldn't be like 45 cents listed as the get in price. Right. And then just didn't sell any of them. He's right. It's, it, I'm willing to spend a million dollars just not getting completely embarrassed with the prices, not thinking through to the fact that there's still going to be pictures. Yeah pictures yeah people in the city empty and the panthers uniforms look cool they look awesome helmets look cool price young game winning drive shout out the panthers I know panthers fans have been I feel like you probably see it too pft like maybe three times a week I'll

have one panthers fan hit me up and like please please like we don't have anything Yeah, just take it easy. So here's your moment You want a game? Bryse Young game winning drive Helmets look cool. Desmond Ritter sucks. Good job. You beat a divisional opponent at home. That's cool That's always fun. You protected your home turf It was on three field goals, but don't let that doesn't matter. He had a game winning drive Seven to nine announced attendance 70,300 and one Shut up set what yep 70,000 people were there. Hey, can you pass me another water?

70301 you can just say anything like owners can just be like yeah, there's no way So I'm not saying no out there's no way to prove it I mean how could they do that they can't get away with that there's probably a lot of people who had paid tickets and they didn't go That's not attendance Well paid attendance is what it always is it's not people who go through the turn styles I like that they didn't go like if this game was played in North Korea They would have said 100% attendance. They did something that was like kind of,

like it's not believable, but at least they said 95% attendance. Yeah. Remember when the Falcons wanted to get to Sean Watson, but not Lamar Jackson? Yep, that was crazy. It was not. And then they're like, Hey, all this talent we have, let's just have Desmond Ritter be our quarterback again. Yeah, Ritter stinks.

Bejohn, that that interception he threw was so bad. Yeah. Bejohn might be back in the doghouse again. He had a doghouse share of carries today. He got seven carries. Algier got 14. Fuck, they brought out quarter roll patterns. He scored. He scored a touchdown today.

Yeah. He had five carries for negative two yards today. But yeah, Bijon, what is the purpose of the Atlanta Falcons having all these good players? I don't know. Just to like keep them away from other teams having them. And you know what? I'm actually like, I know a couple weeks ago we're like, oh the Falcons will be the fun team. Desmond Redder changes all of them.

They're not. I don't want to see Desmond Redder play anymore football. It's actually like next level. If the Falcons were just like a puppet franchise that were secretly run by a different team, get all the most talented offensive players. Yeah. Put them on this team, get Desmond Ritter as your quarterback so you never win anything. And then our opponents won't have those good players on them. I know Falcons fans were thinking we're probably picking on them.

No, they would say the same thing. Yeah. Like they're more frustrated than we are. Yeah. Here's another thing, just like I said, Lamar Jackson, John Watson. Arthur Blank said on Lamar Jackson in March this year. Looking at it objectively,

I'd say there's some concern over how long he can play his style of game. Hopefully a long time, but he's missed five, six games each of the last two years. Sean Watson doesn't wanna play football. They try to get to Sean Watson. He's in Lamar Jackson. Who wanted to go play in Atlanta?

It's crazy. It's March Jackson on this team would be so fun. And the wild thing is that the Panthers, or the Falcons aren't out of it. They are. They should be out of it. This should be a disqualifying loss. They should just, they should actually like,

to get, to gain favor, they should just disqualify themselves tomorrow. Yeah, we're a press conference. We like, look, even if we win the next three games, we're not doing it. It's like when a team gets bowl eligibility, like a good program and they're like, we're not going to go to that bowl game. Right.

Like it's not really, it's not worth it. Right. If you have any pride in yourself, Elkins, you will say, we do not want this wild cards. Yeah. Make yourself eligible in less Taylor Hanukes a quarterback. Then I'm in and I'm back in.

Then I'm 100% yeah. Okay. Let's do a couple more ads then we'll finish off with the last three games including Hank's Cowboys. Before we get back who games. Yeah who boy. Oh boy. You know what Hank's gonna need a couple of his ice cold cores lights to wash the taste of that terrible terrible Cowboys game out of his mouth. Cores light is the best beer in the entire world.

Definitely. We have to. So, Ram 28 Commander's 20, PFT, your thoughts. I've got one particular part of this game. I would like to just draw everybody's attention to because it was shocking, even for Ron Rivera. It was one of the worst head coaching displays I've ever seen. I'm glad that this wasn't on a nationally televised game,

like a standalone game, because it would have been everyone in America freaking out about what the fuck is Ron Rivera doing in this situation. All right, so we're down 28 14, right? There's five minutes left in the game. Fourth quarter, Jacobi presets in a quarterback. Sam House still the guy, but Jacobi presets stepped in at the end of the game. It wouldn't happen. Sam Hall wasn't having his best day and we need a spark. Okay, so Jacobi percent was a spark today. Got it. Five minutes left in the game, Jacobi percent hits Terri McClore, who almost scores for a touchdown. It was like a 40 yard pass, 50 yard pass, great throw, great catch. Terri McClore tackled at the

one yard line. So we're down by 14, four minutes, 44-7's left, four minutes, 44, seven, seven seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. We get the ball. Rams call a timeout. First and goal on the one yard line. Rodriguez up the middle, one yard, no gain. How quickly do you think we ran the next play after that one, Big Cat? Well, I know the answer. Do you think we hustled to the line?

No. Again, we're down by 14 points in the quarter. No, we take the clock down to one second left. The play you knocked down to one second left. You were screaming at the TV during this. Jacobi Berset, quarterback sneak up the middle. No gain. Do you think we hustled to the line after that play?

No. No, no, we didn't. Clock continues to tick down to three minutes, 18 seconds. Short pass across the middle to Logan Thomas, one yard touchdown nullified by penalty. Now it's third and goal on the 11. Jacobi reset past short middle to Curtis Samuel for four yards. Do you think we hustled after that one? Because you think we also, no, we didn't. The clock went down to two minutes, 31 seconds, fourth and goal, pass the tournament, chlorine, penalty,

pass interference, then we get the ball again at the one yard line. We go up the middle again for minus two yards, 27 seconds left until the two minute warning. Do you think we try to get another playoff before we get it warning? No. No, we don't. We let the two minute warning. Do you think we try to get another playoff before we get it warning? No. No, we don't.

We let the two minute warning happen, and then we run another play, passing complete, passing complete after that, and then on fourth down, we finally score a touchdown. Now there's one minute, 46 seconds left. Three minutes to get one yard in a game when we're down by two scores. It was tough to watch.

14 points. I had stato looked this up because I thought to myself, this has got to be the most amount of clock that's been used to gain one yard in NFL history. He looked it up. His stats only go back to 1999, but since 1999, the previous record was your Chicago Bears in week 12 2013 took two minutes, 46 seconds to score a touchdown from first and go on the one yard line. This is the worst case of clock management.

I've ever seen it was bad. And then so Rivera's got three timeouts. He should have if you're trying to win the game. Oh, wait, let me jump back after we score the touchdown down by 14. He should go for two there, right? Yeah, he doesn't. And the field will get. We wanted us to get the fries. The extra point gets a lot of shake. Thank you, Ron, for letting us get the shake. And then he kicks off. He does an on side kick, which is impossible to recover. He's still has three time outs in his pocket. And then they just run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, expire the clock.

If you're trying to win that football game, you would probably kick it deep, use your three time outs, try to get the ball back somewhere around midfield. I don't know what Ron Rivera does. If he's ever watched football before. Well, I mean, I don't think he's trying to do anything. He doesn't, he's fired. But he already is fired.

Yeah, like I think they probably were like hey, dude You're a nice guy. We're not gonna fire you during the season. That's what's that he just doesn't give a fuck He wants to retire at the end of the season, but I kind of don't blame him because like yeah, right But and they probably told him like don't win any games dude if you're trying to win this game He's not he can't be trying to win this game. No, he can can't. It's impossible for somebody to mismanage the end of the game unless they're doing it intentionally. You were looking at the end of the game as through the eyes of a rational person who's watched football

and knows how you should operate in a football game. Ron Rivera, I bet you we sat down when they were like, hey, we're firing Jack Del Rio. Do you want to go with him? Or do you want to just stick around and run out the strings? Like, I'll fucking stick around. Yeah. And they were probably just sit Josh Harris was like, all right, just do me one favor. Don't win anymore games. And he's like no problem. He did a hell of a job.

Yeah. This game and also the long snapper Cheezman. You can't you can't suck that bad and have your last name be Cheezman. It's off. Everyone knows. He had a quote after the game where they're like, are you thinking that maybe your job's in jeopardy right now? Are you nervous about that? And he's like, yeah, I've been nervous all year because I haven't been very good. And I think to myself all the time, like they're probably going to get somebody else here. Everyone that's watched the commander's game this year

since week one has been like, the long snapper's not good. He almost got the punter killed. Yeah. Press way. So many bad snaps today. It was very frustrating to watch the end of this game. A six and eight year old that's played two games of Madden would be able to tell Ron Rivera what to do better than he did at the end of this game. It was just it was bewildering. I just I have no idea what I watched.

I feel like though it made perfect sense because he's not trying. He's not doing anything. He's not trying it all right. And he's gonna retire and they're gonna make it seem like it's a mutual parting of ways. And then Rivera's probably gonna try to get a job with the Panthers as like, they can think of the air. They can see Gleaerie or like maybe even like,

President of Football Operation. No, they'll just get, David Teppere will get round Rivera to go find who the next coach should be. Yeah, interview him, shake his hand, look him who the next coach should be. Yeah. Interview him. Shake his hand. Look him in the eye. Tell him he's a football guy.

But yeah, Matt Stafford, I know I went on a little rant there about Rivera because it was shocking, but Matt Stafford still, he's still got it. He's still got it. And he did the one throw that he does every game, the red meat out there for Dana Lovsky to talk about. A little side arm out to the sidelines. I think it was to Higby. The dude can still throw the fuck up.

Yeah. The Rams are definitely in the list of teams like I want to see in the playoffs. Because they would be fun to watch. Like Matt Stafford, I think we had this discussion last week. He has the ability to beat anyone. Because he is playing at that level. Yeah.

He's still very, very good. And the Saints Rams is going to be a pseudo elimination. And elimination and the Rams they got weapons Kyron Williams is a great player Yeah, they're fun boy. He did fun but tonight. They still good. I just remember that because that over should hit and they just kept on fumbling It definitely should have hit and In the standings Hank had a massive two-game swing today. Yeah, how how close is he now Jake? I went over to for the first time in a year. So, Hank went to know both of you went to, Hank is now three and a half behind PFT with six picks left. It's over.

What if we did an extra holiday pick? We did a holiday pick for Thanksgiving. No, we did not stop that match. I know which is coming up. Hank probably threatened you.. He was like you're fired if you don't play No, it doesn't it makes no sense. I said this really good. We do never done that. We've never done this format before this Yeah, and we did do one for Thanksgiving. We always do on Hank wants a charity case This is different the holidays. Yeah, it's all the holidays. The games were played on Sunday on Christmas.

And next Monday, yeah, and Saturday and Saturday. So next week we'll do Saturday. All three picks, Saturday and then you can do Sunday Monday. This is an anagons. Stop the steel. What? You're watching it happen right now. All you have to do is have a trip life PFT we know we know when to this is fraud like we've never seen this country before Hank I'm here my head of PFT. I'm gonna get I'm gonna get my stands to just right now storm barst Like 19 and a half PFT 18 Hank 14 and a half so big guy right now you're up five

With six to go anyone that cares about democracy in this country should call Hank out on his bullshit. I'm just, it's the holidays. It is the holidays. You sound like the green trade. It is the holidays. No, wait, by not doing an extra- Yes, scrooge.

No, no, I want more money in our listeners' pockets. I don't want them to be tailing or fading or pigs. I want them to have money to spend on their family. But I can't bring on another game. Hank, hit them with the line Family Good The lighthouses. Oh, it's holiday

What the fuck? I don't know what else It is the holidays Where we go with the light? I was like, we're doing it. I was like, what line? What lines do I have? What are we doing? The line you've just been using, it's a holiday. It's a holiday. So it's sac religious.

If you were a big believer in the holidays, you don't want to encourage people to go out there and sin and gamble. We do Thanksgiving because it was the holidays. Why would we not do? It's not the holidays. No, it's not the holidays. The holidays are like now.

Thanksgiving isn't the holidays. Thanks, give me a nod. Oh wow's three gate three Monday games on on Christmas Maybe we just do the Christmas special pick four No, no, no, no, we should just make that worth three points good good idea or 25 no There's two games on Saturday the integrity of the picks Wait, go back and you said Thanksgiving's not a holiday? No, it's a holiday, but the holidays is like Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year's.

Those are the holidays. Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday. That's holidays. That is a holiday weekend, but the holidays are the December holidays. Booby Christmas. Those are the holidays. Booby Christmas does rock. Booby Christmas, shout out Booby Christmas.

You just sound scared. No, there's nothing to sit on. P.M.T. just scared. It's scared little boy. I'm not scared. You're fuck you little boy. This little boy put his foot up your ass. Whoa.

Yeah, that's right. That's true. No. I beat him straight up. Head to head today. Easy. And what? The Rams. Two and a half, oh and two. All right, we'll what? The Rams. 2-0-0 and 2.

All right, we'll put out a poll. Hank does have a little boy at sea, what people want. Extra picker now. How is her now just so you know, Hank is trying to manipulate you. This is, this is election frog. Wait, who suggested it? You told Max to say that. Wait, who did Max?

Oh, I yeah, no. Max, what place are you in? So in that. Wait, who did? Max. Oh. Yeah, no. Max, what place are you in? So in the warm up, I have two and O and Max is the only one in one and me and Zohen, excuse me, Max is the one too, me and Zohen in one. Listen, I don't care. I have already, I'm already mentally committed to this hour. I'm just trying to give the listeners something extra for the holidays. No, I think I am actually the one that's in favor of the listeners because I think what

they want to see more than they want. They want to, they is Hank Lockwood doing an hour standoff. Some people in the holidays, they don't, you know, they're either not with their family, like they're kind of alone. It's a lonely time to hear for some people, unfortunately, and having, you know, distractions help. So giving them an extra game, they can be distracted on Saturday, they can be distracted on Sunday,

they can be distracted on Monday. They're still the games, the games are still gonna be out. But they want to tie back into the show. They can watch the games. With an extra bonus of wondering what happens in this box. No, I think in the true interest of a list.

We are family. Hang on, hang on. And this is something that ties back to our family. So, fuck up for me. In the interest of our listeners, I think they want to see you go on stage. I, and I don't want to take that away from her. That's all I want.

I also want to see. This goes back to the most important thing. You guys are the show. Wait, they want to see you guys. But they also want to listen to the show for you guys. No, but if I'm being honest, like I, I would much rather see Hank on stage. Well, P stage. Hank's

learning guitar. I've been teaching Hank guitar. They also want to see us do picks on the holidays. Yeah. No, they don't. I don't think that they want to see picks on holidays. If you don't think people want to see you, they don't want to see picks on holidays. No, they want to see why wouldn't they want to see you take it to the cell. They definitely want to see. They want to see they would want to see you. I think that I think what the business. Yeah, I think that Hank would be a great choice I listen as a service to our listeners. I'll just I can tell you I Would much rather see you when I'm gonna say right now. I oh, so you want me this competition too That's nice. I'm not scared of Hank catching me. So I will not I will be happy doing an extra pick

I'm man up. So just take a poll with Why don't we just do four picks or follow that? Well, let's just take a poll between us three days. Six extra picks. Where do we draw the line? When does this stop? One extra. All right, here it'll be pretty cut and clear. If there's a holiday, we'll do an extra pick.

Okay, what about New Year's Eve? New Year's Eve is holiday, Hank. You're gonna ask, you're gonna beg for another handoff then? And for the ball of New Year's Eve? Yeah. You're gonna beg for a handout. Well, then we should already do another pick. It's actually pathetic. It's pathetic.. Football news, Eve. You're gonna beg for a handout. Well, then we should probably do another pick. It's actually pathetic.

It's pathetic, Hank. It's beneath you. What do you guys do a pick from on that I football? All of us. All right. That's a good idea. Let's just change the rules. Let's just change all the rules for Hank.

No, I mean, you guys rigged the whole fucking... I mean, Chris is the... No, Rushmore, like, so you... Chris, there's nothing to do with Mount Rushmore this year. I'm just saying, like, you guys are asking for's nothing to do with him out rush more this year. I'm just saying, like you guys are asking for more. You have PTSD from spending 24 hours or 23 hours in a room with Max. Listen, like I said, it's the holidays. It's the holidays, I'm fine.

I know I'm gonna do it, I know I'm gonna lose. Pft literally only has to win two games. There's basically no percent chance that he does lose. So I'm fine, either way. It's more like, why is he so scared? I'm just more like again, like, you know, tough time of year, holidays, like, you know, we want, we want to feel a connection to our listening.

Right. Jake, is that a true stat? I have my magic numbers too. You're three and a half up with six to go. So it depends. So that doesn't sound like, I think Hank made up those numbers. Hank, yeah, it's not one in five. We're going to be more and all in six with lose. What if we can't be two? Yeah, I can't be two. numbers. Hank, it's not one in five. We were four and all in six, we would lose. What if we can't be two?

Yeah, I can't be two. What if we did a little barter here and we can do an extra pick for the holidays? If you agree that if you lose, you get an extra 10 minutes extra. Oh, fuck no, I don't get, I'm down to holidays. It's the holidays, it's the holidays.

It's the holidays. Why would you accept me as the holiday? I don't have 10 minutes to start. It's the holidays. It's the holidays. It's the holidays. It's the holidays. Why would you accept me as the holiday? I don't have 10 minutes to start. It's the holidays though. Give me two songs and I'll deal. Performing them? Yeah. Yes. Performing a guitar and learning guitar. Okay. He's learned three chords. But they can't be more than like six-minute songs. All right. All songs. All right. All right.

So, Hank's three and a half out with seven picks left. Yep. Odds have just changed. And an hour and ten? Hour ten? With two songs. I don't know. You disagreed to it.

Oh, you shake on it. Hour ten is a lot. And hour ten is a lot. An hour is a lot. Five minutes is a lot. But don't you want to provide more entertainment for our listeners? I'm doing an hour. You're pretty much saying like I think so lowly of our own listeners There's a lot, five minutes is a lot. But don't you wanna provide more entertainment for our listeners? I'm doing an hour.

You're pretty much saying, I think so lowly of our own listeners that I'm not willing to- It's actually a favor to the listeners for me to do less time. No. No, they wanna see you up. I wanna see you suffer. You guys do, the listeners don't. The listeners wanna see you guys perform

cause they actually like you guys. No, I know, but it's quite, quite, quite, quite, quite. Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, guys. No, I know. But, it's, see us perform because they like us. The only other option is see you suffer. They're going to do that. Right. Suffering going to hold up like 20 minutes. No, that would be fun. No, no, no, no.

That would be fun. It's so much more joy. Yeah. Suffering gets old, but then it becomes funny again. Five minutes. Okay. Two picks, ten minutes. No.

So what's up to you? As much time as you want to add, it's just... Seven minutes, one extra pick for the holidays. You really should have had the pick for the holidays. For the holidays, saying, seven minutes. You don't have to get me a gift this year. Okay, that's fair. I already gave you a gift

Was it Tiffany? Yeah, I gift rapper All right, so one extra pick seven minutes even Stephen seven minutes Hand shake Shake my hand. I just want to shake your hand Shake it Hank. Come on Hank, we got to get going with the show. Alright, that's a shake. That counts as a shake. That counts as a shake. Seven minutes.

Nobody would take what Hank just did with his hand and he was kind of biting his lip. Nobody make that into a gift. Are you have seven picks to win this thing? So would you all start to do seven extra minutes? No, it's just Hank. No, no, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. We just added seven minutes to the show running. I know I said, if you lose, then you have to get an extra 10 minutes,

which we bargained down to seven. That's crazy. Well, that's what you agreed to. What I'm shook on. I don't really care because I'm going to lose. So okay, shook on it. What about the holidays? I was the only thing about the holidays.

P.F.G. is the one that's playing the most scared ball I've ever seen in my entire life. A little bit of scared ball. Well, you know, after you talk about round and red vera playing scared ball. You are terrified. That's not the little I run. That's not scared ball.

You are up three and a half games with six picks to go. And the other was in playing scared ball. He was playing just like insane ball. That's what you're doing. No, no. We have an agreement. I like our agreement. Okay. 49ers, Cardinals.? No, no. We have an agreement. I like our agreement. Okay.

49ers, Cardinals. 49ers, 45 Cardinals, 29. 49ers of Clinton, CNFC West. Congrats. Brock Perty's the MVP. Brock Perty said that Christian McCaffrey's the MVP. That's true. Christian McCaffrey said Trent Williams was the MVP.

I think Trent Williams should be the MVP. I think George Kiddell should be the MVP. You don't even like George though. You really get some in the playoffs. Oh, here we go. Daylight? Brock Birdie probably should be MVP. Yeah, just by numbers.

Yeah, his problem is that he's always gonna have to deal with like, how good his offense is. Right. And how many great players he has, and then they'll look at Christian McCaffer and be like, well, we've known that he's been good for longer than we've known that Brock's good for. Right. And how many great players he has. And then they'll look at Christian McCafferne and be like, well, we've known that he's been good for longer than we've known that Brock's good for. Yeah. So if the 49ers, if like you split the 49ers vote, I feel like more people would lean towards Christian. I, it really just matters whoever's going

to get the one seed too. Yeah. If the 49ers went out, get the one seed, it'll probably be Brock Purti. Yeah. Maybe if the Ravens went out, get the one seed, it'll probably be Brock Purti. Yeah, maybe if the Ravens win out, get the one seed, maybe they become Lamar. Lamar had a pretty good game tonight. They can be like, oh, we could see this, we've already done it before. Yeah, the MVP debate, though, is always just like, I don't really care. Yeah, they're gonna give it to the quarterback on the best team, and they're gonna decide it all within the last month of the season, It's like the Heisman.

Yeah. Well, I guess we cared a lot about that. Uh, anything from this game, I don't really. I get 49ers have a couple injuries and the Cardinals are able to run the ball down their throat is ass kicking. Yeah. But yeah, the, uh, I guess you could say like the 49ers defense. You'd like to see them tighten it up a little bit. But yeah, hard graves I think is out

and someone else is out as well. I can't remember. But yeah, they got that whatever. 49ers, I got cute with this game. I was like, ooh, Cardinals can maybe sneak them because 49ers have a look ahead with the Ravens. Dumb, dumb. 49ers are a freight train right now,

and you should not get in front of them under any circumstances. Yep, agree. Like if you're trying to bet against the 49 train right now and you should not get in front of them under any circumstances. Yep, agree. Like if you're trying to bet against the 49ers right now, sit down and ask yourself, like, why am I doing this? They are really, really fucking good at football and every time they're healthy, they've killed everyone. It was arm-stead and hard grade for both out.

So I'm just looking forward to the holidays game next. Holidays? Holidays and Niners and the Ravens That's gonna be awesome. That's that's a great game for the holidays Good news is we got one last game to get to actually we'll do Ravens Shags well Bill's 31 Cowboys 10 Henry Bloodbath I kind of saw this coming though and

The Cowboys need to get a couple home playoff games to have a shot Yeah, all the home playoff games, but guess what today losing this today. It's gonna be tough It's a blueprint game. This is a blueprint on how to beat the Cowboys have them on the road Yeah, just run the ball down their throes. Oh, I was just play them not in Dallas run the ball down their. Oh, as they just play them not in Dallas, run the ball down their throat. The cardinals game this year. Was that in Dallas? No, no, no, no, but they ran the ball down their throat. That's that's the key to being beating the cowboys. But the Eagles can run the ball. They weren't able to do it. The cowboys at home are seven and no. There's average, their score averages 40 to 15. The Cowboys on the road, they're three and four,

their score averages 21 to 22. They're just night and day different team. Like the Josh Allen didn't have to do anything. He said after, he's like, I feel like the kid who got the A who just didn't help at all in the group project. Cause he didn't have to, which is a great sign for the bills that Josh Allen didn't have to be Superman and they still win. Yeah, he still so he had a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown today, but he was

not the star of the show. The star of the show was cooked. That's the 10th game the season that Alan has both the passing and a rushing touchdown and that's the most in a single season in NFL history. He could be MVP. He could be. If it narrative wise, if the bills win that division,

I think Josh Allen could probably, probably would be the MVP. Yeah. So hope people listen to our 35 to one bills rant. We had a couple of weeks ago, because they're now down to, I think 13. And they are officially, if you had to go just off of not record record like who you wouldn't want to play right now

Bills bills are probably number one in the Fc get hot at Ravens maybe Yeah, Ravens still look. I mean, that was a good win for them tonight. Yeah, we'll see what happens next week But yeah right now I would the bills are I would say it's a bills bills are 13 one I the bills are, I would say it's a bills. Bill's are 13-1. I, I'm so happy, I mean like the Cowboys are just, they're just sproads. It's just the same thing every year. Rob Grunkowski called the mentally weak.

Hank, thoughts? Rob played for the Patriots. I don't know if you know this is a Cowboys fan. I didn't, I heard his interview the other day. That was great. Yeah, no, they're, they're, they're bad. I don't know if they're bad as much as they are just mentally weak. Well, I think they might be bad just because, but this might be the game.

And everyone everyone forgets about them. Everyone just, just, just credit seven from the playoffs and they, then they go make a run. There's, there's the bulletin board material. Something I just thought of like maybe like, you know, when you win championships, they'll usually have like a scene in the beginning to start it kind of a down part of the season. And maybe for the cowboys championship DVD, it's highlights from this game. And then the narration starts and it shows the run. That would be cool. I mean, this was an old school

asking just running it down the throat, manning up like DAC had DAC look like shit. He he's had a great year not taking away from his year, but this is the question with DAC go on the road, play a really good team. What do you look like? Trash. Yeah, he looked very bad

today. Yeah. Yeah. The Cowboys, they are they got a circle of wagons right now. They do you look like? Trash. Yeah, he looked very bad today. Yeah. Yeah. The Cowboys, they are, they got to circle the wagons right now. They do. And they have the dolphins on the road next Sunday. America's game of the week. America's game of the week. I would, I would call that limping into the playoffs if they get their ask kicked by the bills. It's the fraud bull. And then by the dolphins. It will be the fraud bull. And then the bills, if the, uh, dolphins lose one of the next two and the bills went out going up to week 18 week 18 will be for the AFC East title, which is crazy. That'd be awesome.

Crazy. I'll give you a spend on Hank. Would you like to spend on? Yes, please. All right. So the cowboys were all sick this week. They are. They had the stomach flu. There were 10 guys on the team. I think Dan Quinn had the flu to this week. So there's that. That place. We're just crapping themselves all week. That's definitely place. That's what happens with the Eagles tonight, right? Yeah. Well, one of the Eagles got the Jalen Herds got the Cowboys. Yeah. He's the carrier. Good point. Great point point. Wait are all the Eagles sick right now max No, that's why Jalen hurts took a separate plane. You don't want to get the team sick. Did you take a private plane? Yeah Much damn to the environment damn. I didn't know what you've never taken private plane. I know we had it like that, bro. I know we had it like that Yeah, you're just not a pretty big contract. I'm not sure the Eagles probably paid for it

Eagles own NFL franchise or that guess I or now It's hard for one sense too many last game Ravens That was a good win for the Ravens. Yeah, like the Jaguars are kind of falling off a cliff I feel bad for Jaguars fans They they were on cloud nine when they had that six and two record and they were playing back up. It looks so. Jake Browning. Yeah, they had everything. You had it right in front of you. We would have Pete Prisco have this as a win. He probably had his loss. Really? That was 13 and 4. That was very tough though. The, uh, That was very tough though. The the the start of that game having three trips four trips on the other side of the field and getting zero points.

They just the Jaguars are like a team where all the pieces are good and make sense But then when you put them all together and you have to have them execute against like at a high level It just doesn't work out. Yeah I did like what Trevor did with the his Christmas present for the guys For the offense a lot of golf cards. Yeah, they got them golf cards like really tricked out golf cards Which is cool considering he would not take a golf card himself correct last week But yeah, if you're if you're a Jaguar's fan you're you're not optimistic about how this is gonna end three losses in a row Yeah, and they have to go to the box who are playing good ball Three losses in a row. Yeah, and they have to go to the box who are playing good ball

Florida bowl shit and the Ravens are one seed right now and if they win who do the Ravens have this week the Niners Oh, that's what's off one sheet Yeah, they get the Niners and then the we shaft was that it's the chiefs are gonna fucking end up with one seat chiefs They just always do it. They're gonna luck into it. There's a good path's the chiefs are gonna fucking end up with one seat chiefs are they just always do it They're gonna lock into it. There's a good path for the chiefs right now for sure the chiefs are gonna Or gonna end up with the one seat. Yeah, who do they play next week garbage? They played no one but garbage play the Raiders next week. Yeah, they play the bangles after that Okay, at home, okay, and then they finished up. Easton stick at Easton stick. Yeah. It's bullshit. Yeah, they might

chiefs are going to have the ones. They might the chiefs are probably going to win the Super Bowl this year. Cheese are going to get the ones. The dolphins are going to lose the Cowboys. The Ravens are going to lose to the Niners and the dolphins. Everyone's 11 and five. I mean, I would love to see 12 and 5. I would love to see a rematch. I would like to see the chiefs against the 49ers. I'd like to see that.

I'm a bills 40. Yeah, either way, good game. We're getting down to it. I'm rooting for the games now. So much football. OK, should we wrap up with who's back of the week.

I'm joking. I mean, just win. Pretty fucking simple. I've been winning. Sounds like you're scared, though, that you're gonna win. I'm in favor of rules. I'm in favor of a structured competition and integrity. Well, this is the inaugural league this year

Football on Sunday. MLB. Not even broadcast. It decided to host an all MLB event award show where they flew all the players out announced like first team, second team, all MLB event award show where they flew all the players out, announced like first team, second team, all MLB, and no one knew that it was a thing until Saturday. Yeah. What? I have no idea how the MLB decides to do

in the first hearing of this. This happened? Yeah, or it's happening. It happened on Saturday, December 16th. Who won? Wait, what did they announce? They had an award show. Like the NFL, like the NFL and the NBA,

the NHL does it. Yeah, where was it? I don't know. Major League, you don't have any details? It was in Las Vegas. They just designed stuff to not have anybody pay attention to it. Who is there?

All the stars. What the fuck? Name one star that was there Well, that's the problem with MLB.

to have nobody pay attention to their shit. But that's just classic MLB, so MLB is back. Incrobbus is still awake. Mate, yeah. What else is he doing? Calm, see if you watch this shit. Probably lifted. He's probably lifting.

He's probably like doing mock drafts. Sorry, that watching TV in the shower. Jerking off to him. So he's got a girl in one hand. He might be asleep. It is the off season. It's 12.19 a.m. He might be.

Yeah, but he also doesn't have a life. It's true. So he could be awake. No, he's he ducking you. I think he probably I think 1219. Oh, yeah, what about Dan heron? I don't think he would he's not like a baseball superfan like he's in baseball. Why would he watch? Jared would watch if Jared watched then we know who was the target audience. If Jared didn't watch, then... I don't see any tweets from Jared about this. Oh man.

They organized their award ceremonies like we would organize a happy hour. Okay, it was about two months after the season ends. I was thinking about hanging out on a crazy busy Saturday when people are watching NFL and it is Prime time like people have to do shit like Christmas parties and work parties and all that stuff Yeah, if you're not doing anything this weekend

I was thinking getting a big group of guys together hand out the silver sluggers. Yeah, that was there was NFL There was Ball games and there was like five top 10 college basketball games NHL NBA What's fucking hand out a couple gloves? Yeah, fuck down, fuck down. Whoa. It's PugHurt. He's okay. What happened? Did you fall? Did you fall out of the chair, Pug? Pug is like you broke the chair. Oh, it's already broken. It was already broken

Pug is like the Mr. Bean of this podcast. He's always like falling down getting hurt. But like quickly scurrying because he's like, oh no, the camera's about to get me. Another incident for Pug. All right, PFC, what's your who's back? My who's back the week is Uganda football. Yeah, Uganda football, they lost to Kenya.

There's gonna be a video coming out, two videos coming out soon. They lost 38 to 22. You might have seen Billy's all 22 clip of him throwing a dart in the red zone. I think it was like a seven year touchdown pass. I think he ran for another touchdown against him. So Billy says that they had to overcome

a lot of adversity on this trip, which I'm sure we'll hear more about. Oh, yeah, Donnie texted me. It sounded like a lot. Yeah, I was trying to talk Donnie through it yesterday, being like, if you need more money to make this happen. I said the same thing. Yeah, I'm down and he's like, I think we got to figure out.

Apparently, the head of the Uganda American Football Association just like took all the money that we gave them and just didn't ever book a bus for like a 15 hour bus ride. Kind of respect. Didn't give the guy any, that's kind of a badass scam. The guys didn't get any food. So they had to travel overnight with no sleep,

no food, they played against Kenya. Apparently they fought their guts out. This was a tweet from Donnie earlier today. This trip was special leaving Africa this time with zero regrets. The players coaches. wins zero wins, but they did score points. So Billy's not fired. The players coaches and everyday people we met were so inspiring. That fat corrupt scumbags Stephen Oaking who runs the Uganda Football Association tried to ruin it for everybody, but he did not succeed. Uganda has a legit football team of warriors. I'm wicked proud of.

So if you thought that Donnie and Billy would escape Africa without starting in international conflict, I think that you were probably wrong. I think this is the start of, we hope that they get home safe. They are in Kenya right now, not in Uganda. So I hope that they can get home safe and not run into any problems over there. But it seems like they're turning this into a flame war with the guy that stole the money.

We also had an all time Billy football clip from the news. Donnie said that they got split up for a day because Donnie was going earlier. It was like, don't do any media. And then literally the like 12 hours that Donnie and Billy weren't together. Billy went on like like gone to TV. Yeah, and this is so first of all, they put his name is William Carter, which I like, but here's the clip from Billy all-time Billy clip. In the false make, can you triumph against Uganda? And now the genos will be sick. So, and been with these guys working with them since early November, they're very ready. And the thing was, last game they were ready, very ready. And they played better than the Kenyans. The Kenyans got away with them.

They got away with some, not cheating, but some mischief. But this time we'll have more refs in Nairobi. And I'm very confident in this team. They've studied hard. They've trained hard We will be ready for the Kenning White rhinos Hey Billy just while I'm gone before you meet up with us Can you try not to go on TV if any sort of bulletin board material to Kenya? He to be fair. He said that he didn't want to accuse him of cheating. Yeah, it was mischief Mischief, he also like that was a super troopers like Billy. How many times you say the word ready? Yeah.

He's like, we're ready. We're really ready. And this time we're going to be really ready. It's like last time we weren't ready when he was on the news and L.A. and he was victim blaming people for wearing nice watches. Billy is one of a kind of mind. He's just William Carter. Nobody like William Carter. I do like I do like to cut a William Carter's gym. Yeah, it might just be like his alter ego. But if anybody out there knows mischief, it's Billy. Billy is the king of mischief.

Just just a nice like four second pause on TV. Think of a different word for cheating. Yeah, a different word. Mischief. I'm trying not to say cheating. Yeah. So I'll say mischief. He's like, I think like Tom and Jerry, what are they up to all the time? Mischief. Hi, jinx. Yeah.

That's what's happening. All right, my who's back the week is Matt Patricia. Yeah. And Max said that he's going to talk about the game now. Yeah, so Matt Patricia is... My penis is da- Yeah, it kinda looks like Max taking over as the defensive coordinator, right?

That's right. Wait, no wait, PFT, let me ask you a question. Yeah. The eels are 10 and 3 and it was like maybe two weeks ago that I saw one of their super fans kept on tweeting out that they were the one seed. They were. That's kind of crazy. Yeah. Change your defensive coordinator and you're the one seed. Their defense is stacked with talent too, right? Yeah. Like pretty much

all George. Yeah. Their entire team. She has a harder. So they, yeah, they've been pretty good historically defensively. Why do you think they're making a big change right now? You think this is a good thing for a team? Seems like a panic move. Yeah, you could say panic move. I think Slay is not going to play, right? Yeah. So his first order of business was not allowing Slay to play that.

I don't know. I don't want to say that's going to like upset the locker room, but panic move. Like who does Mapatrisha think he is? Max. I mean, no one got fired. The people this time is all the time. The NFL, they play call or someone just switching up the play call It does that happen all the time to teams that had the one seed that had well, yeah every team had the one seed at one point in the year You know what I'm saying max memes I answered the question memes Can you max switch seats?

Okay I answered the question. Memes. Can you max switch seats? Okay. Okay. Thank you. Memes, can you make sure that you sit in that seat going forward? I'll just sit in right there. Okay. Max, do you think that you got punished at all right now?

Punished for what? Or like just, you know, demoted a little? I need to... No. We just switched up the seats, it's no big deal. But you don't feel comfortable. It's not a panic world. I can tell that you're uncomfortable.

Yeah. We're totally fine. What, this isn't even a, what would this be panicking about? You just got to mode it. This isn't like a, like a, like a system here. There's like a chair, one chair, two chairs. No, no, there it is. It's about putting in a system.

Yeah. A chair, three and a half. Yeah. It's probably broke. No one, no one's sitting in the middle is the power chair since when? Since the whole time. That's power chair.

We can't even see you right now, Max. You're just talking, we can't even see you. All right, fine. I'm down to stop talking. Man, put your show over there. Yeah. Oh no, you're Sean DeSci. I would be a little bit concerned.

Yeah. You just lost a big seat. I, I'm worried about beating Seattle and you're just trying to switch up this narrative, okay? What? It does feel like a panic move. Yes, the defense is in panic situation. You said it yourself last week. What did you say?

The Eagles defense cannot win a Super Bowl. Okay, it's fair. So something had to change this change. How do you, how do you feel about tomorrow night? Tonight, um, really hope Jalen hurts plays. Slay not playing. How do you feel about tomorrow night? Tonight. Um, really hope Jalen hurts plays. Slay not playing. What's wrong with Jalen hurts?

Um, he's sick. He's not himself. He hasn't been himself. Correct. Right now he's not himself. He's, I heard some talk about them binging him for Mario de anyways. That, yeah, I did too. I heard some media saying they were, they're rumblings.

No, no, no, you'relings. See now you're panicking. No, were there, were there not media reports? Not real media reports. There's been fan fiction on the Twitter street. It sounded like Hank. Yeah, cause you guys just like to put out fan fiction. No, it was an actual report. It was not an actual report.

Show me the fucking report. I'm not going to show you the report. You find the report. I don't care about this report. You're the one who cares about this report. We can't even see you right now because you've been demoted. I don't know what you're trying to prove here. I think I proved my point. Also, it's like midnight, but I prove my point. I prove my point. Memes. How you feeling that chair? Feel good still do still do my job switching the doing the switcher wall max talks to you guys. Oh, okay nice nice So what does max even do in here? Yeah nothing

Wow, oh no in this room. Oh, no, no show. Oh, no Okay, it is kind of you really are shine decide what why is this how is this come on me? I didn't fucking do anything wrong No, we're just we're confused about the various media reports Because I've heard it was a demotion right? It's not and I've also know it is a demotion. It's not a I said it wasn't a firing you guys are putting fucking words in my mouth here I didn't do anything I would be concerned because isn't Matt Petrish an offensive coordinator? And now he's supposed to run the defense. No, he's not.

He's not. What was his last job in the NFL? He's a super bowl winning defensive coordinator. What was that? Hank Factor fucking fiction. He has team factor fiction. What was his last job? He didn't win the tour bowl.

What was his last job? 2 errors ago. Yeah. Defense changed a lot since then. Well, also, Bella check was run of the defense. We know that about our bill. Right, Hank? That was Patricia was calling for this.

Thank you. Now, Bella check was run of the defense. I'm just, it does feel like a panic move that you're getting an offensive coordinator to now run your defense. That is incorrect. The defense was really bad. The defense was in a spot that could not win a Super Bowl. Who knows what's going to happen now, but it's not the same as it was the past three weeks, which was historically bad over a three week stretch.

Is this a must win? Yes. Oh, okay. But now it's the whole situation of whether I say it's a must win or not, must win win it all comes back on me of looking bad Yes, yeah, that's you finally you finally figured out what we've been doing Go ahead you got it took you a year and a half To figure out what we're doing and you did it max Do you think there's any bad juju around the holidays for a fat guy getting rid of his sleigh? That was hilarious great great great great great. Thanks Jake. Very cool. He's not getting rid of his sleigh his sleigh is hurt The sleigh is injured. It's like Rudolph. I don't know where I was going with that

Max so if you lose Fanda, if you lose tomorrow night, the season's over. No, no, no. You just said it was a must win. But what happens if you lose? This has been my argument since day one. No, but if it happens, it's gonna lose, must win. Well, if you lose, must win, the season's over.

He just said it's a must win. If it's a must win, then you have to win it. You have to win this. You should have made this a can't lose. It doesn't matter, it's the same fucking thing. No, no, you're making me much. I've been trying not to curse so much. You're making me curse a lot, Ray. Why did your mom tell you to stop cursing? My mom always tell my grandma tells me to stop cursing. My mom says, show. No, she's, she sees clips on Twitter though.

Your mom, your grandma's on Twitter? My grandma is on Twitter, correct. What's your dad's on? What's up? I don't know. I honestly have no idea. Is she? Never mind. Come on. Come on. I was just curious if she was more than reply bots that shut up next. If I'm up for some lottery ball. Jake, my who's back of the week is award winning listener Charlie Woods. Yeah.

Big weekend for Charlie playing for the dad. He had a chip in, he drove a green on a par four, he's an absolute beast. He is a beast. Did you see him walking that putt? Yup, he waves a drive goodbye. Yeah, yeah. He hit like a, I'd say 17, 18 foot putt
