We starred in Western New York, where Bill's fans were saying, Frank Party Riker Rockstar, as Buffalo hosted their first playoff game since Buffalo Bill's Clinton was getting blowjobs in the Oval Office,

as Captain Josh Allen and the rest of the Seaman were decked out in their blue dress shirts, getting ready to smoke a very sticky victory cigar. Despite the Colt's best effort, F4? Rodrigo, darn, you sunk my blankenship. Jack Doyle and Water found separation, scoring a touchdown late to make the game close. But in the end, Philip Rivers Phoenix ended up dead, as Josh Allen walked into the end zone. And after a 25 year wait, it feels great to say,

No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bill's. Bill's 27, Colt's 24. We head out west to Seattle, where John Hungry, like the Wolford, deranged directly into Jamal Adam's shoulder, ending Jared's golf day. Louis CK Metcalf was complaining about unfair press coverage, as all he wanted to touch his balls. And a lot of people are saying he could permanently be locked up and jailing. Ramsey, that is.

Aaron McDonnell took his McRams off the menu, leaving the game in the second half. And it's feeling like title town, as Cam Los Angeles Acres took down Sussle Wilson and the Seahawks directly to it. In Nashville, where the Ravens were trussing with the boys, big truss. Lamar Janet Jackson and Justin Tucker Timberlake exposed the Tennessee Titans on live television. The Ravens defense said to A.J. Brown, I'm a lot, I'm a lot. Wait, what's the word?

I'm like, I'm like, gonna, I'm, I'm like, gonna use score. But Lamar Jack, I missed a word when I wrote it, teach. But Lamar Jack's sunny side up connected with Marquish Brown for an answer, saying that's all yokes. Mike Greenberg Bravo put on his sandwich eating glove and surrender punted in the fourth. But his wife will be happy. His penis remained safe for another year. John Harbaugh with the ball to bang, to bang, diggy, diggy, diggy, diggy, diggy.

Sid Upchuck, the boogie had his kids rocking in the divisional round. Ravens 20, Titans 13. In Washington struck that in Ralph John, Maryland, where Indomican stormed the Capitol and tempted a Sioux, let the bugs against the football team. In a battle of wide receivers, Mike O'Thank Evans was open 24-7, and Terry McClure in Manuel Miranda couldn't be wrapped up. Taker Taylor, soldier Spiney, he put out a couple hours of good film. And Stephen Chay was happy as Lynn E.R.D. Fornette gave Washington a Pharrell.

31, 21. Standing on the corner, James Winston down in Nola, such a fine sight to see. It's a Mitch, my lord, taking home the award. Yeah, he's got an MVP. Give them hell, son, try to tell them. They're moving up the power rankings with young Sheldon. The Saints go marching, 21-9. And we finish in Pittsburgh, where the Browns and Kareem and Nick were chump believable.

Yeah, Big Ben troubled to foul time at the end of the first half, and Kevin McCallister-Sephansky was home alone and in a touching tribute to Aaron Rodgers, made his family disappear. Thanks for the donation to the Barstool Fund, I think that was very kind of you. TJ turned down for what? And little John Poopoo shit-dooster couldn't wipe the Browns off their butt cheeks as the Browns crushed the Steelers. All right, Super Wild Card Weekend in the books.

I think that was the best Super Wild Card Weekend we've ever had. Oh, there was a moment on Saturday, and we're going to break down every game. We're going to start with the Sunday Night Football, and then we'll go back in time to the beginning of Saturday. Uh, there was a moment on Saturday. It was right after the Rams Seahawks game, and it was perfectly timed. That game ended, and I just, oh, Peter just crashed down. We just lost the monitor.

We just lost the monitor. Billy, that's okay. Prop the monitor up with some beer cans. We're going to play through it. We're going to play through it. Actually, you know what? Well, you guys put the monitor back up. I'm going to do a quick ad read.

We got the monitor back up. We're good to go. Then what I was saying was there was a moment on Saturday when the Washington or when the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams finished their game and it was so perfectly timed that I was like, you know that moment when a game ends and you're like, what do I do now? I was like, oh yeah. And I just hit up on my remote. I was like, oh, here's another game.

Great. Don't even have to move. That was all weekend. It was just beautiful football and the Bears also played. Beautiful football, wall to wall, six games, great drama. And we ended Sunday night football with the Cleveland Browns winning their first playoff game since 1994 in an ass kicking of their longtime foe, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The first time that Big Ben has lost to the Cleveland Browns in Pittsburgh happens in the

playoffs and it was awesome. You have to wonder if that Bernie Co-Sargers that's buried outside the stadium had something to do with it. Or you might wonder if maybe this had something to do with it. Juju Smith-Schuster before the game, he's crying. Oh no, Big Ben. That was really sad to see. Pain.

I mean, that prolonged zooming that they had on him. It was hello darkness, my old friend. Oh, this actually makes me sad. This is very sad. I mean, his chin's looking really fat. You don't know if this is Big Ben's last game in Pittsburgh or at least he'll say that it is at some point that Big Ben's definitely going to do. I need to take some time this offseason with my family to discuss.

And by family, he means all of his sperm, his mini sperm. That kind of broke me a little bit. Not going to lie. We might have lost two legends this weekend. Barry, go ahead back. Juju Smith-Schuster. Juju Smith-Schuster before the game, he said, I think they're still the same Browns team I play every year.

I think they're nameless gray faces. They have a couple good players on their team. But at the end of the day, the Browns is the Browns. Well, guess what? These Browns is not the Browns. These Browns is those Browns that we saw against the Tennessee Titans for half. These Browns just won the Super Bowl because I don't think anybody expects the Browns to go out next week and beat the Chiefs.

I know I don't. I think the Chiefs are probably going to house them, especially if they're missing all their offensive linemen like they appear to be. But this was the Super Bowl for the Browns and they did it. And maybe just maybe the issue wasn't that Juju Smith-Schuster was dancing on opponents' fields and doing TikToks. Maybe it's just that Juju Smith-Schuster is addicted to giving Bulletin board material. Yes, I was going to say, how has Juju Smith-Schuster not learned his lesson on that?

Well, he did. He stopped dancing. Yeah, that's true. So Mike Tomlin needs to throw it out for him. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So this game, this was the ultimate Michael Coleon gift just when I thought I was out.

They reeled me back in. We thought this game was over. 28-0. I mean, most teams, when they go up 28-0, you're like, this game's over. And it felt like it was over, actually, after the very... It was my point. Who was it? Just when they thought I was out.

Oh, it's Pauli Walnuts. I mean, it's Michael Corleone. No, it's Pauli Hicks, right. Michael Corleone is the move. Pauli Walnuts and Sopranos did that. Or no, it wasn't Pauli Walnuts. It was Van Zan. Good fellas.

It's Michael Corleone. So in the Sopranos, when he's doing the Impression, Hank... It is literally Godfather 3, which I can understand why you would forget that. Sylvia was doing an Impression of the Godfather. Right. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. He thought that Sylvia invented that. I love it.

You only watched one season of Sopranos. I might have had the wrong Michael... Yeah, my bad. Okay, all right. So back to what I was saying. Michael Corleone. The game should have been over after... It felt like it was over after the first snap, because I think everybody...

No, no. Michael Corleone was the... That's not the guy that does that gift. What? Are you talking about... Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. That's Michael Corleone. It's this guy.

I'm sorry for doing that. That's Michael Corleone. I thought Al Pacino was Michael Corleone. That's Al Pacino. Oh, wow. All right. I thought you were saying, no, why would you ever think this game was over?

It's the Browns. Instead, you were fact-checking. Yeah, that's Michael Corleone. All right, we got to all watch the Godfather in the off-season, even though... I'm going to read the book. Three... My cable provider has been like trying to make me watch three recently.

Does anyone have Verizon? They've literally... It's just ads for three. I'm not watching it. Have you just been talking about the Godfather ad? Yeah, I'm just saying that. It's like a suggested ad. I'm in like...

Here, let's try something. Hang on, let's fact-check me. He's going to be wrong. Let's try something real quick. Godfather 3. Godfather 3. Godfather 3. Let us know if you get any suggested ads for watching the Godfather 3 now.

All right, so just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. The Browns, 28-nothing and ass-kicking. Obviously, the first touchdown was a fluke because it was a high snap. So we all said to ourselves, oh, okay, the Browns got a lucky one, whatever. No, no, no.

They fucking kicked their ass. Yeah. But if they were running the ball down their throat, they had that moment in the third quarter where it did get a little hairy because they don't have a head coach. And you thought, uh-oh, the Steelers can do this. Like, all the momentum's going their way.

And then right when the Steelers had all the momentum, Mike Tomlin decided to punt from fourth and one. Chicken shit football. Chicken shit. Well, it's because the Steelers can't get a yard. There are times when the Steelers have the ball when they need two or three yards and they can get two or three,

but they can never get one. And so Mike Tomlin pulled a chicken shit move when most coaches would do the thing where they say, if we don't get a yard, we don't deserve to win. So let's go for it. Mike Tomlin, he cut off his eyelids. He always talks about like, you can't blink if you cut your eyelids off.

He cut his fucking eyelids off. The craziest part to me was you had all the momentum and then the Browns, it took them like three plays to get exactly back to the same point in the field where you would have given the ball to them if you had gone for it and not gotten it. I did see one person and I love this idea that the Steelers and some teams should do this

at some point. They went to the line in punt formation. They tried to get them off sides. They took a five-yard penalty to lay a game. Why not fake it then? After you get the five-yard penalty. No one's expecting it. Yeah, no.

No one's expecting you to do a harder fake. I actually think if you're going to, if you're going to punt the ball there, don't bring your punter out there. You have the best pooch-kicking quarterback of all time, besides probably Michael Vick and Ben Rothlesberger, who can punt the ball. He literally has a boot.

Within the ten-yard line every time he tries. Yup. And they ended up kicking it out of the back of the end zone, get a touch back, and like you said, the Browns drove down the field very easily. This does validate our take that the Steelers were the worst 11-0 team of all time. Ooh, that was bad.

So I was saying earlier this year that the football team broke the Steelers, which they did in a way. But this goes back even further. This goes, the Steelers have not won a playoff game since Blake Bortles broke the Steelers. Well, in this game, funny enough, this game was almost a mirror image of it. Because it was, the Browns jumped on them.

Like the Jaguars remember were up 28-7 in that game. Big Ben ends up throwing for like 500 yards. Yeah, the most completions in NFL history. Yeah, like the whole game felt like catch up for the Steelers. And it was like, I think the game kind of broke at the end of, what is it, the end of the first half. Yeah, yeah, it was the end of the first half. When the Steelers scored, made it 28-7,

and you're like, okay, this could be a game in the second half. And then the Browns just went right back down the field and scored again. And yeah, I mean, it was an ass kicking. And I'm so happy for Browns fans. That was probably their best, for many Browns fans, definitely their best moment in their life. You have a date with the Chiefs next week,

but don't fucking worry about that. This is a full-on, this is a full-on, enjoy this till like Friday night, maybe kind of wake up and be like, oh yeah, we got to play the Chiefs this weekend. Friday night, are you getting till Friday night to just basking it? And this is something we talked about a million times.

It's probably the most relatable sports fan thing. If you're a Browns fan, you take tomorrow off, not because you're so hungover, no, no, no. You take tomorrow off so that you can sit your ass on the couch and watch every single hour of Sports Center and every debate show and every, like that is the best feeling. When you win a playoff game and you get to sit there

and you get to read all of the recaps and you get to even go and read like the, are the Steelers done? Is Big Ben retiring? You get to read the other team's message board. Everything, soak it in, it is the fucking, it's Nirvana, it's better than winning the game. Winning the game is fun, like the afterglow

of being able to just consume all of sports media, including this show right now is the best. Get up hits different after a playoff win. It really does. And you're going to have Ryan Clark just like, talking in the highest pitch voice possible, saying blow the entire thing up. It's going to be, it's going to be a real treat

for Cleveland Browns fans. And you're going to have all day Saturday to get drunk and watch football without having to worry about your team and what's going to happen in the game. So you get, you get a bonus extra weekend, essentially a football and plus almost all day on Sunday before you have to play.

Three o'clock. And you're still in it. And there's still a team of Destiny Vibe because it is Swagger's death day on Super Bowl Sunday. So you never know. You never know at this point. But it's, it's a, this season is a victory for the Browns. Congrats.

The Cleveland Browns have won the Super Bowl of Ohio. But Baker was phenomenal tonight without a head coach, which is significant because it did feel like in that third quarter, we're sitting there being like, really would have been nice if they had a head coach right now because it felt like it was slipping. And they had a couple of drives where they just went run, run, pass for, try to pass for a long third down punt.

And you're like, okay, this, they're just trying to hope the clock runs out. And then they woke up a little in that fourth quarter, scored a couple more times. Cody Park, he didn't miss any kicks. Jarvis Landry, the most important player on that Browns offense was great. It was awesome.

Van Pelt, he was the guy that was coaching, right? He got to throw a challenge. He got to throw a challenge flag. Just to do it. That was cool. He did it for real no reason for the challenge. No. But he was like, you know what?

I might not get this opportunity again. I'm literally going to leave it on the field. I'm going to throw a challenge flag out there. It was the shocking part to me. I mean, we all knew the Browns were a good football team. They got to the playoffs. They won, you know, 10 games, 11 games. Now 11 games, but they won 10 games.

No, they won 11 games. They won 12 games. 12 wins now. So that would take Hugh Jackson like 40 years to do. Yeah, we all knew they were a good team. But I think it was incredible how much they were able to have their way with the Steelers defense, which wasn't what it was to start the season

when it was the number one defense, but it still is a top 10 defense. And it still has like some dudes on it. So, you know, if you had told me the Browns won, I would have thought, oh, OK, well, they won a low scoring affair that they were able to get a couple of bounces. No, this was a straight up shootout.

And they kicked the shit out of the Steelers. Yeah. What we learned was that practice is overrated this week. The Browns didn't practice at all. They weren't allowed to practice. They did, like, Zoom meetings. They did everything remotely because their coaching staff was all sick.

And so they didn't practice it. They were fresh. I'm happy they won, too, just because it was. And Iverson was right. It would have sucked. It would have sucked to have that entire, you know, like, well, they got screwed by the NFL, which I think they kind of did, but not have that.

Have it be like, all right, you won, even though you didn't have a coach. That had to be the coolest thing ever for Kevin Stafansky to be sitting in his basement, watching it by himself and being like, holy shit, we're going to win this game. Yeah. Like, what kind of snacks do you think he had going? I feel like he might have been one of those coaches

that's like too nervous to eat. I don't think he ate. Yeah. But he had the COVID, so he can't taste anything. So that's when you should eat. Yeah, it all, yeah. Exactly. If you can't taste anything, like, gefilte fish.

I would, yeah. I would be slamming like tequila, moonshine. I'm like, I don't taste any of this. Yeah, yeah. So I did get a chuckle out of people tweeting that the Steelers should fire Mike Tomlin. Now, whether they should or they shouldn't, I don't think they should.

No. I don't think he's had a losing season in like 20 years. The Steelers don't fire coaches. So if you thought a fourth and one punt was going to get Mike Tomlin fired, you don't have to pay attention to the Steelers' organization. They will be back next year. They will probably win between 10 and 12 games.

But we don't know what the future is for Big Ben, because foreign receptions, he looked oldish through for a shitload of yards against the defense that was kind of playing prevent for like a half. And he just can't move. That's the bigger issue. Like Big Ben can't move. Do you think he just gets a walking boot permanently attached?

What do you think he's going to do? Big Ben, I'll think this. Maybe, maybe you just put me on and just kick your, kick your tootsies up on the couch. Maybe pull up your, pull up your true religion jeans. Ben, we just slide in this boot. We care a whole heck of a lot about you. And we just like take a little time for us.

We can't keep doing this, Ben. You're, you're fucking 75 years old in football years. You missed me, Ben. I missed, we're, we fit so good together. Let's sit, let's sit down. Let's have a nice sit in the boot. Listen to some Christian rock. Throw football to our kids in the backyard.

Call it a career. Ben, you know what, well, just for old times sake, why don't you mosey on over to youporn.com. See what all the new videos are. You haven't put touched any of them. How about you just retire for the next three months and then we'll come on back. Ben's going to pull Lamar Odom and watch every porn video

on the internet. He's going to be done with it. He's going to die from gas station boner pills, but it's going to be just in his like, in his office. He's going to be like, he didn't, he didn't go anywhere. Well, guys, my, my, uh, my elbow injuries acting up again. Can't figure out why. I hope he doesn't retire.

I don't think he'll retire. I think he'll retire. You said it. I think he will retire for like two months. Yeah. No, he's, he's definitely going to retire. There'll be a lot of thinking about his stories. Yeah.

He, if, if they had made it to like the AFC championship game, I could see him walking away, but this is going to leave a bad taste in his mouth though. He was crying. Offensive Kevin Stafansky. He's going to, he's going to want to come back. He doesn't want to go out like this in Pittsburgh. He's crying.

And it was, I, I really enjoyed this matchup. I don't know what it was about the, the colors of the teams. The, the browns orange was popping harder. The Steelers black at home at night in a playoff game is the blackest black that's ever been black. It's so dark. It's so awesome. I'm going to, I'm going to miss big Ben playing for these Steelers

if this is actually it for him. It can't be. But you know what's going to happen. They're going to figure out a way. They're going to get another great quarterback instantly and be right back. I still think they're going to get Sam Darnolden. He's going to be the new big Ben.

Could be. He's kind of fit for it. Big Ben. Big guy, throw some picks. I bet you big Ben has a funny face. He's played through mono several times. Yeah. Absolutely.

That's nothing. All right. I got two stats. Yeah. Give it to us, Jake. One. Score got me. Really?

48-37. Unreal. Two. Last five weeks of the season. Jets two in Steelers one. Whoa. That's first 11 and 0 team of all time. I think the city of Pittsburgh, you don't owe me an apology.

I'm not going to make you apologize. You've been through enough tonight. But just so you know, I was right. I mean, yeah, I mean, they, they were, they just fell off. They fell off. That was their kind of reminiscent of last year's Patriots team starting really undefeated and then being like, okay, well, now they're playing a little bit tougher teams and it starts,

starts to fall off. I did miss the slime in this game. You can't just give me back. You can't give me regular football after giving me a slime game. Can you imagine how electric that end zone would have been on the very first play of the game when they recovered that like an unexpected fumble recovery touchdown? Yeah.

The slime cannon's hitting. I don't know if I can go back. No, we can go back. That, we'll get to that. We'll get to that. All right. Let's go back in time. Let's start with the bills cults, the bills speaking of teams

that have not won in a very long time. 1995 was the last time the bills want to play off game. Same goes for you, Buffalo. I mean, I'm sure you were just enjoying that. That is really the peak. The bills won their first playoff game in 25 years and they got to sit and watch five NFL playoff games after already advancing.

The money in the bank at that point. Frock, man, that's the best weekend of your life, Buffalo. So the, it was great to see Bill's mafia in the stadium. Did you see that one guy dressed up as a polar bear? Polar bear. We had a couple of guys with you. Pinto Ron got some shine. Pinto Ron has a TV that's no bigger than 18 inches.

It was the R Kelly TV. It was great though, because I, my initial thought was like, we got to get Pinto Ron a bigger TV. And then I realized Pinto Ron is, I went and I started reading some old articles about Pinto Ron and they asked him and one of them like, what's the weirdest thing you have in your Pinto? And he's like, oh, I got a jar of milk, a jar of milk

that's 25 years old. And I was like, what? He's like, yeah, someone gave it to me and it just stayed there and like, didn't it smell bad? He's like, well, it smelled pretty bad for the first 20 years. And then it turns into cheese. And then it's just, 20 years. You just got to get through the first 20 years

of your milk smelling terrible in your Pinto. And then you're good to go. But it was awesome. That's also like the 10th least weird thing about Pinto Ron. He's like, he's an American character. And I'm glad to see him happy again. Like, this is guy that gets bukkockied with condiments before every single game, just for the fuck of it.

Just to get people going. Just so that people could have a good time. He sacrificed so much for that city. And now he gets to be entertained by this team. It's good for Pinto Ron. Yes. It was also, I think we're out of practice with Bill's Mafia because of COVID and there haven't been fans.

That video that went viral of the kid going through, the little baby going through the table and everyone was like, there's child abuse. No, it wasn't. The kid fucking had a great time. There was a mattress underneath. It's not like the dad was making his kid eat beans. It was just a natural like birthday show.

You can't get it open. I've got to take about Josh Allen. By the way, kicks ass. He was awesome. He was great. He did have his mash. He had to mash the buttons plays. Those are the best.

The touchdown play where he ran into the whole line and then it was like, oh shit, I'm going to throw this. And then the fumble that thank God was recovered. But that was a big time. Mash the button. Yeah. Just at the end of every play, he's like, I'm going to do whatever I can at this split second.

I hope they don't totally ever coach that out of Josh Allen because that's the magic of what. That's what makes him like the most exciting quarterback in the NFL right now. Even when he does something bad, it can be something good sometimes too. But my take about Josh Allen is you're ready for this. So you know how he's improved his accuracy so much,

which everybody thought was impossible. Because like Mike Leach says, once you're 16, 17, you're not going to get more accurate. I actually think that his feet are better than his arm. Yeah. We all talk about his hose. You have to always refer to Josh Allen's arm as his hose by the way.

Cannon. He's got a hose out there. Mm-hmm. His feet are the best that I've seen in the NFL this year. He's like, he's always on balance. Yep. He's never off balance. He's like a mountain goat with his balance and footwork.

And it's turned him into the most exciting player. Like if you're always on balance and stepping into your throws and put your feet in the right place, that is actually sometimes better than having a hose attached to your shoulder. Yeah. And he's got a hose to boot. Hosing different area codes.

And I actually don't think, I think if you asked him, it wasn't a perfect offensive game for the Bills. It felt like they left some drives out there where they were not as sharp. But he made the big plays when they had to. They were five, he was five for six on passes over 20 yards including a touchdown. So he was accurate when he needed to be.

And it was, I mean, the big story coming out of this was obviously Frank Reich's decision at the end of the first half to go for a touchdown. I loved it. I thought that was the right call. Everyone obviously played the results after because the Bills go down and score a touchdown. But they need, one, the play almost worked.

Phil Rivers missed him by just like a absolute, like maybe like four inches. Two, the Colts needed to have happen against them. Two insane sideline catches. And then jumping off sides when you can't do that. But that was also like, it just, I like the aggressiveness. I thought it was the right call.

I don't think you can beat Josh Allen in that Bills offense by getting field goals. It was a real step on your throat moment. They're up 10-7. If they go into the half up 17-7, they feel like they have a ton of control. It didn't go their way. But I don't play the results in the fact that like,

hey, that was a stupid move after that. I thought it was, it was the exact right call. Right. You got to go for it there. And maybe it's been just like, I've been watching too much Ted Lasso recently. So I have a harder time criticizing coaches because now I think they're all sweethearts

that show it's poisoned my brain against hating coaches. But Frank Reich was correct in his decision. I just think he- He's also an aggressive coach. Yes. He's always an aggressive coach. He just, he explained it poorly I think after the game because he started tossing around the word analytics.

Right. And you start to lose people when you say analytics too much. You just have to go back to saying like, the chart says that I should have gone for it there. If you blame everything- No, you don't even have to say that. You just have to say you can't beat,

you can't beat the Bills with field goals. That's also a good point. That's all you have to say. But if you blame it on a chart, then it's the chart's fault. It's not yours. Like a chart is a tangible thing. You just got to go get a new chart.

The chart's never wrong. But you just, if you just say you can't beat that team with field goals, no one will ever disagree. Yeah. Because it just sounds right. Jim Mercer should do a press conference to be like, the Colts and the chart have mutually agreed to part ways. We'll be looking for a new chart this afternoon.

It was, the Colts were in that game though. They were, they fucking played tough. You know, I don't know what's going to happen with Phil Rivers. I have a couple quotes for you after the game. He was very emotional. It broke my heart. Also, just brutal watching him try to throw a Hail Mary five yards short.

That's why you, you have to go be brusette for that exact reason. How, how, how? That was so sad. After the game, Phil Rivers in ultimate, like pure Phil Rivers form, talking about the Colts, he said, it's a really neat team. And then he said, it was a heck of a fun season. Yeah, it's a good habit.

Is that, is that Phil Rivers 20 year NFL pro talking about losing in the NFL playoffs or Phil Rivers 12 year old playing in Little League and they got bounced in the first round. And he's like, Hey guys, it was a heck of a fun season. Let's all head to the pizza place. Pies on me. Yeah, I want to see. I don't know the difference.

I want to see what he said behind closed doors in the locker room. If he was like more emotional, more angry than that. But that is a, that's a perfect Phil Rivers quote. Oh, Phil Rivers gets angry. No, no, no, not in that. No, he gets angry at the refs. But I'm saying like in after the game, I think it's just at this point of his career, he's like just kind of crying, kind of teary-eyed.

And everyone feels bad for him. I feel bad for him. Well, if you really hate, hate, hate losing that much in your Philip Rivers and you can't stand to lose in the playoffs, you probably would have retired a long time ago. Right. He's kind of used to this at this point. Sad.

I think I still think the Colts are a solid team. And when I say solid, that's code for saying that they've built their team in the complete opposite way that I would do if I was like a general manager with Madden franchise. Because I think you and I would be like, okay, we need a quarterback. We do the Raiders. We need someone that can sack the quarterback. We need some fast guys that wider.

We need to stock up on like five great wide receivers and maybe a big name corner. And the Colts, they've put all the resources in like the least sexy positions and they've developed a solid team. No, they're a solid team. They're good. They're the only team I think in the playoffs that was top 10 in offense and defense. Yeah, they're a nice, well-built team.

They might be this offseason's one quarterback away from becoming a real team. Carson Wentz, Frank Wright from Carson Wentz, bring them back together. Either way, I'm very excited for the Bills. That was awesome. I'm shocked. Huff matchup coming up. I'm shocked that we haven't seen any Buffalo Bills too early Super Bowl tattoos. Yeah, they got it out there.

I feel like that just happens every year and it's not even. It's not a story. Yeah, it's not a story anymore. But Bills fans, they get another home playoff game. Awesome. It was it was a little too sunny, a little too nice in Buffalo on Saturday. I kind of wanted some, maybe can we get a forecast? Can we get a way too early forecast for Saturday night?

Let's get some flurries going. Let's get some flurries. Let's get either flurries or like five degrees. Because if it's snow, they're going to steamroll the ravens, right? Yes. I also think this was a perfect game for the Bills where they got PM snow showers. Okay, there we go. Oh my God, that's beautiful.

It was a perfect game for the Bills. And I don't think if you even if you ask the Bills, they didn't play a perfect game. Like they didn't play their best. They survived. They found a way to get a win. They found a way to get a playoff win. Kind of a monkey off your back. Like feels good going into the next game.

Like that was there. They didn't look like they had been looking in the last half of the season where they were just trucking teams. So now you get the added bonus of like, Hey, this is a lot harder. Let's button down here for the next round. You know what? Maybe they had some playoff jitters. Yeah, maybe this is a playoff jitters.

No, they were they were came out and you won. They played well, but they didn't. They definitely didn't play a perfect game. And that's a good thing because they won without a perfect game. And they still have a perfect game in them. Can somebody please explain to me what happened on the second to last play? The Zach Pascal play where he was on the ground, caught the ball. He stood up off the ground.

Then he fumbled after he stood up. Can I just say though, I'm if the play if the play was wrong, if the play is wrong, which it was, they called it wrong, but it ends up not determining who wins. I don't care anymore. Like I stopped caring. Like I saw Coward had a tweet being like a lot to talk about. But the main thing on my mind is what the hell like was happening.

At the end of that Bill's Colts game. Imagine if the Colts had won. Well, they didn't. So I moved on. I'm only concerned because I don't know what happened. I don't know why that ruling was put into place. I think they just they just fucked it up. They just fucked it up.

It just a fuck up. It was just a straight up fuck up. But again, it didn't matter. So as soon as a ruling doesn't matter to the end result, I just don't care anymore. I just I just wash it away from my memory. I'm not going to be like, oh man, could you imagine if? Well, no, it didn't.

It didn't end up mattering. So we're good Gucci. You brought up the jumping off sides part. And that guy is was probably the most off sides player in the NFL this year. This was he was more off sides in AJ. He was like nine yards into the into the bill's backfield. There's there's something about a quarterback that knows how to do the hard count correctly.

That is something that only a few quarterbacks really like Aaron Rodgers cheating on it. Like if I were a quarterback coach, I would have them take voice lessons. I would have them. Can you imagine like a ventriloquist quarterback throwing his voice into into like the backfield? Or like a maybe maybe a guard being able to mimic the quarterback's voice. Yeah. So you have two of them going at the same time.

It'd be amazing. Yeah. There's like there's definitely like one of those. That's the difference between a very good quarterback and a great quarterback. Yeah. If you can get those guys to jump off sides and get free plays out of it. And Josh Allen with a free play is a very dangerous thing because he's just going to hose that ball on field.

Yeah. So that was fun game. Great game. Great start to the weekend. Yeah. Next up we got Rams Seahawks. So where do you want to start? Seahawks or Rams because?

Let's start with a Seahawks because I love Pete Carroll. But I think he might not be a great coach. Okay. I think he's had some of the best talent on defense. He's had Russell Wilson and Marshall on Lynch. And Russell Wilson covers up a lot of stuff. If he goes out there and balls out all the time. Pete Carroll he attracts talent.

Maybe there's just something about Pete Carroll that he will always have talent around him. But as far as in game the most adjusting he does is just switches his gum from the left side over to the right side of the game. The Seahawks they were reading the quotes afterwards. It was kind of shocking. They're like yeah we knew how they were going to defend us. We just didn't have an answer.

Like what? That's the whole. And it happened for the entire second half of the season. Like the first half of the season the Seahawks were essentially able to just bomb it deep. And most teams were playing with one safety deep. And then teams just started being like hey guess what? We're not going to let you bomb it.

We're not going to let DK Metcalf go one on one. Try to beat us other ways. And they never adjusted. And that fully came to fruition in this game against Rams where they fucked him up. See, Pete Carroll said afterwards I have no place in my brain for this outcome. I think he's going to memory hold it. So that one just doesn't exist.

If you ask him about it two days from now he's going to be like I don't know what you're talking about. Complete opposite of Sean McVeigh. Yeah he is memory holding this loss. I have no place in my brain for this outcome. He's redacting it. He said something though there PFT that I got to ask you about. Because this is now a narrative coming out of this game. I saw it online.

I saw it with Seahawks beat writers. I saw it with Seahawks bloggers. There seems to be a little bit of a rumbling that Russell Wilson is more to blame than people are letting on. Now how quickly they turn. Yeah now I want it on the record right now. If the Seahawks want to trade Russell Wilson to the Bears I will do it in a second. I will do anything.

I will trade anything. Everything. So I think Russell Wilson is a fantastic quarterback. But if you're a Seahawks fan your frustrations are at least coming out a little bit. So he's played now 16 playoff games and in those 16 playoff games he's 25 touchdowns 12 interceptions 236 yards average. That's not like lighting the world on fire. No.

And it's weird to see it because you you think Russell Wilson clutch unbelievable ridiculous plays ridiculous comebacks and then you see those numbers and you're like wait. So he's not one of the best postseason performers. That's weird because I had that moment where I was like that that's kind of bizarre. If you had showed me Russell Wilson's playoff stats I'd be like oh he gets better in January but he kind of doesn't. He's kind of the same guy and this loss was on him as much as anyone else. Like they were not he got he took a lot of sacks.

That interception was on him though. That interception was not good. I mean that wasn't a good like play. It was on if it's a quick screen like that you can't blame the quarterback if they don't get to their places. Well he also was forcing the ball to DK Metcalf who listen we love DK he's our guy but that was when you when you have a little bit of a tantrum in the first quarter in like everyone sees it in an empty stadium.

It does change the narrative coming out of the game. Like you've narrative you've narrative yourself. No I love that with DK like DK people don't give him enough credit for looking like he's a bass player in like a rap metal band. He flips out man. He has like a mosh pit with himself on the side. Yeah he's smashing helmets like it was early. It looks sick.

It was early. It looks sick. I'm going to stand with DK on that. DK you looked awesome. But you admit though like you did that. That then changes Russell Wilson like that interception was him trying to force the ball to DK like he was trying to get the ball to DK for the rest of the game and I don't know. I mean the offense was a mess for a million different reasons and that's not even we

should talk about the Rams and how good they were defensively. But I just noticed that and again I would take Russell Wilson over. I don't know. Every quarterback except like four. Yeah he's definitely top five quarterback. But it is crazy to see those numbers and be like wait that's weird. I always thought he was this incredible postseason guy and then you think about it. You're like what's the what's the postseason moment that you think about when you think

about Russell Wilson. A million different passes to Doug Baldwin. Right. But like what's the what like but like that that game against the Packers where the Packers just fell apart. Mike McCarthy fell apart and that onside kick. But like what are the I don't know. I just I'm asking the question again.

I don't want to spun as like anti Russell Wilson because I'm definitely not. But when you think about like Brady and Breeze and all these other guys like they have these insane playoff games. I don't know if Russell Wilson has had that type of resume. I think it's more in Pete Carroll than it is in Russell Wilson because it's Russell Wilson playing against the best defenses. And during the regular season he's always a very good quarterback. And yeah he feast on some shitty teams.

I was never going to play against the Falcons like three times every year. And he always puts up you know 450 yards on him during the regular season. But in the playoffs when he's playing against really good defenses. It's not you can't put that all on him. I think that Pete Carroll has to take some of the blame. You can you can't put it all on him. But if you are in the conversation as as as amongst the best quarterbacks in the NFL like this is the difference between every quarterback and then the upper upper elite

guys who can like you they can kind of put it all on them. Yeah. And they can find ways in the playoffs to do things and they do elevate their game. That's I think that's where the disconnect is. I think Russell Wilson is amongst that group. But when you like actually lay it out it's like OK well where has it like where can you point to it. Like oh shit he was unstoppable in this playoff.

Well he's also played behind some really shitty offensive lines over the last like 12 years or not 12 years when was it 2012 that he was right over the last eight years. He's played behind some like really bad like Tom Cable used to basically take a shit and then put a helmet on and say this is your left half. This is now becoming me just hating on Russell Wilson. I don't want it to be that way. But well I also believe that he does run into a lot of sacks. I think he I think he doesn't help his offensive line as much as like some other guys do.

Yeah. I do think there are many times in the game where it's like what is he doing. He's not stepping up into a clean pocket. He's he's doing things that are kind of leaving his own offensive linemen out to dry. Russell Wilson I think is a very very good quarterback and he's played. I think he's been above average for the most part in the postseason. But again you run into better defenses there. He ran to really really good defense against the Rams.

The Rams they're officially my don't look now team don't look now. But the Rams have a future on Rams are back. If Aaron Donald is hurt that's obviously different. Also Russell Wilson that one throw he made where he was going left and he threw that deep ball. I mean that's why he's Russell Wilson. That's why he's incredible. Yeah.

But I just I it's just something to put in your brain like is we all put him in the Mahomes Rogers Brady category. I don't think he is. Probably not. Right. But that's where we do it because Aaron Rogers is like he's the best quarterback physically and he's been the best quarterback physically for the last like 10 years or so. Brady has so many Super Bowls and then Mahomes is just like a freak.

Right. This is a Russell Wilson is still like a very good above average postseason quarterback and he's a great regular season quarterback. So I don't I'm not ready to write him off just yet in terms of a postseason guy. No I'm not either. This is the first I do like the fact that we're talking about right. This is the first time I've I've I like I love your passion. I never even thought about it until I saw enough of it online and not just like random

people. It was people who cover the team people who you know blog the team saying these things and I'm like oh OK well let me at least look at this. I love I looked at his numbers and I was like all right. Yeah I can actually I would still take him over again pretty much any quarterback except like four guys but I I am looking at numbers and be like yeah you're right. It's not like he's lighting the world on fire. I love the fact that this is in the marketplace of ideas now.

I disagree fervently but I respect to hell you're right to say it. Yeah. I just some of the losses haven't been great and he's kind of I mean this was he did not play well. He did not play well. No he didn't. It was it was very just you were over eight on this. This might kind of fall into what you're saying after this game was over there was a

moment where I was like wait the Seahawks can't be out of the playoffs. Right. It's Russell Wilson. That's why Russell Wilson is going to keep playing. That's literally Pete Carroll's quote. I still think that like next week the Seahawks are going to be in the playoffs still. I have a whole place in my brain for this outcome. So let's talk about the Rams.

It doesn't make sense that Goff didn't start to me. It doesn't make sense that they didn't start a third quarterback. They didn't have a third quarterback on the right. What do you mean it doesn't make sense that he didn't start. I mean he was good. Jared Goff. He played he played pretty good for having a broken thumb. I think he did.

He had a very gutsy performance. Yeah. But he wasn't good. I feel like his. He had no control of the ball. I feel like his his thumb might be better. Maybe he was gripping the ball too hard when he was fully healthy. I give him all the credit in the world for being out there with fucking surgery 11 days

before and he had a gutsy performance. I think he did just enough. I don't I mean he wasn't good. There was a moment where he had that one play where he like scrambled and threw like a little ball to his right that ended up being like a 50 yard pass. But before that he had like 40 yards on like two quarters. He played he played a lot better than a quarterback with a broken thumb was going to play and probably better than Wilford would have played if he had played the entire game.

But the only thing I'm going to take away from the Rams this performance is those jerseys are fucking disgusting. The Rams white whatever they're like seven different tones. They've got nine different fonts on them. They look like a ransom note slapped across a uniform. That's like written if you're taking Jeff Fisher hostage. They're ugly ugly. I hope I never see him again.

I don't like him. I don't like seeing they make Aaron Donald look fat and Aaron Donald has abs which might be part of the problem. Oh by the way Aaron Donald like you can't pull fat dodges a million knives and survives then gets sat on by Russell Wilson and dies. How that makes sense. No it doesn't. It was like he was like Houdini got one sucker.

He got he he he goes down the Niagara Falls in a fucking chains and survives and then one sucker punched the gut and he's out. Is Russell Wilson getting fat. I don't know. That was crazy. He might be getting fat. Russell Wilson have knives in his ass. It was weird because it instantaneously like right when he rolled off and grabbed his

please try to me by the way. Holy shit. My rib is just exploded. Yeah. And it's like well that's Russell Wilson that just kind of like rolled on you. Yeah it was weird. That was a weird place. So my biggest takeaway from this game is Sean McFay now obviously he doesn't have any

Super Bowls but he went to one. But when people put him in the conversation as like the next Belichick or mini Belichick this is why because when I look at the Rams and the fact they went to Super Bowl two years ago with one of the best offenses in the league and then look at what they've done this year and they basically completely changed their team to a defensive team run running team. That's why he's a mini Belichick in that it doesn't matter like he's not going to try to beat you just his way. He's going to beat you whichever way is best.

And I was reading an article about his defensive coordinator Brandon Staley who's going to probably get a head coaching job maybe not this year but at least next year. So essentially he wasn't even on Sean McFay's radar. They had he had an interview. Sean McFay basically changed over his entire staff which again that's kind of a Belichick move to be like because they all got hired a way to be head coach. Wade Phillips you know he left but he was he was basically like I got to change my whole staff sat down with him.

Brandon Staley was is a Vic Fangio disciple was with Vic Fangio forever and Sean McFay basically said Vic Fangio is the one guy who can stop my offense Kyle Shanahan's offense. These offenses have been taking over the league brought him on and he's been incredible like he's been an incredible defensive coordinator what they what the Rams are we're able to do. They mauled the Seahawks like they were awesome. They can get after Aaron Rodgers. Yeah it's going to be 25 degrees and I know they're a Southern California Los Angeles team. I think that this Rams defense is built to play in cold weather.

I think they can get after Aaron Rodgers and knock him around. It's going to be it's going to be very cold. It's going to be a good match. I'm very much looking for the narrative of the Sean McFay against the McFay disciple and Matt LaFleur. Yeah that's going to be a spicy one. I just love it. I mean Sean McFay like that is what makes a great coach a great coach like the guys who

can think outside the box and be like okay who's the person who I have the most trouble with defensively okay let me go get him let me go hire him whether he's resume ready or not like I'm going to go like that resume ready but like that's that's what Sean McFay did. Brandon Staley's I don't know 38 years old. He I don't know I don't think he was a defensive coordinator in Denver because I think Vic Fangio was still calling the plays but like that's that's that is the smartest guy in the room kind of feel like hey well instead of trying to beat the people that are really smart across the field why don't I get one of them and use their powers on my side defensively and he's changed

the entire MO of the of the Rams team they're a running team they play good defense it's awesome to watch I that's why he's a mini Bella check it's double genius because you take a guy that can beat you off the market and so then down in the future he's not going to be out there kicking your ass so you're eliminating that threat from your future so and everyone's talking about offensive football everyone's you know everything's offense offense offense to have the foresight be like hey I'm going to go get this guy who's an up and coming defensive guy and basically mold my team in that in that fashion I don't know he just gets he deserves a lot of credit and then the stat out there I think it's now 37 and 0 when when Sean McVay is leading at halftime they they win the game

so I mean that's that's crazy that's just good coaching and then yeah I this game next week's gonna be fun we'll we'll obviously preview it on Friday I just hope that the Rams can get like a little bit healthier I hope Aaron Donald's okay Jared Goff's thumb like that I hope he can grip a football in cold weather otherwise you might see John Wolfer again yeah I don't know it was yeah more questions for the Seahawks and the Rams being like we keep losing guys and we keep winning games yeah don't look now the Rams are back yeah they are Hank we got that future I don't know what's gonna happen with it but who knows look bleak when they lost the Jets all right let's do Saturday night your team let's before we do that yeah I'm sure while you're watching you had your whoop on

that much anymore uh i i mean if alex smith had played this game started this game he'd be dead it would also they wouldn't have hung tough like that was taylor heinecke was very good for a guy who's a backup has uh an xfl backup way way too many tattoos for a quarterback yep and kind of what we're talking with chris long doesn't really know he's supposed to suck i think he's going to be a great backup quarterback yeah he can win you like a game and a half in a year and he comes in you're like fuck it let's let's get weird with it he's like the bad boy boyfriend that that comes in scoops you up in a corvette he's like not a corvette probably a camaro that he bought used and then you go around you drive around the block a few times blast and pop a roach and come back

feeling great about yourself but you don't want to do that every day taylor heinecke was fun to watch right the bucks were clearly the better team i mean the real the winner of this game was the bucks offense of line the bucks offense of line yeah handled the washington defense and we sucks for chase young when you say all week you want tom brady in your grasp he was saying tom brady i'm coming coming and he did not come he just flopped out but i mean the defense is still great you know what's great about this washington football team big cat is going into the off season i'm going to get i'm i'm going to be able to get mad at all the power rankings that disrespect us because we have something to build on we're a major like we get a quarterback and we could

be one of the best teams in the nfl so when i see us if you have us listed if you have the washington football team listed below 16 in your power rankings i'm gonna write some fucking letters oh yeah i'm going to address those to you i'm gonna tell you that you don't know what you're talking about because we made the playoffs so um the the one downside of super wildcard weekend is the booths get stretched i don't really need to hear tony dungey anymore no he's not good tony and he was going so i tweeted like taylor heineke franchise quarterback and people were getting mad at me i was very tongue in cheek i do think i agree with you i think he would be a very good backup uh and you know could come in and win a game like that's kind of the guy

he feels like tony dungey had him in kin i don't know if that was i mean hey did you watch the game with sound it might have been tony dungey's hate for tom brady but it was crazy how effusive he was with his praise of taylor heineke it's definitely having a lot to do with tom brady and tony dungey the best thing tony dungey does he's only good for like taking someone who's troubled someone who gets into like severe off the field issues right and rehabilitating them by saying tony dungey now approves of this guy he's turned his life around once you get that stamp then you're hireable right no matter if you're a player or a coach and tony's like all is well i've cleansed him of his sins he's back he should not be on television well and here's my problem is that

tony dungey you're in the booth you're supposed to be assessing the game from like a professional standpoint right so you shouldn't be going like taylor heineke's a a 10-year starter in this league that's for what that's what twitter's for and that's why when we all freak out about taylor heineke on twitter though like well actually or he's not really a good quarterback people shut the fuck up dude that's what makes football fun when you have a guy who plays in a game he's not even supposed to be there and he's playing out of his mind and you all feel like you're in on this big moment that's cool that's why we get swept up with taylor heineke no one woke up on sunday morning being like taylor heineke needs a hundred million dollars in five years no but in

the moment when he's playing out of his mind and he's playing way better than we all expected and he's running and and fucking lunging for end zones we're fucking goddamn right we're going to say taylor heineke's a franchise quarterback not you tony dungey let us the idiots the meatballs do it we're prisoners of the moment tony dungey needs to be the warden correct you need to be walking around making sure we're in ourselves wrapping your night stick on the bars and making sure that we don't get out of line with that shit tony dungey not a great announcer stick to being the guy that always picks wrong on sunday night football before the game starts that's what you're really good at and tom brady's incredible he's good yes like he he broke the record for uh

oldest player to throw a touchdown pass like he sliced and diced the washington football team i don't know how he can i don't know how many like are we gonna be doing this in three years it's tom brady me 46 tom versus playing and playing in the playoffs he's dominating i don't crushing him i don't get it and i i mean i'm very excited for next week sains box round three hard to beat the team three times ali marpit wasn't playing for round two which is significant for that bucks offensive line which has played a lot better and uh yeah i has he ever lost three times to the dolphins i don't know probably not probably not he i just don't know i mean i know mike mike evans is incredible mike evans is incredible um i felt i felt like even like

and tony brown was very good chris god wouldn't drop the few balls but like and also i forgot we got to see lenny back lenny for net that i mean there's no better like feather in your cap than you can give to that offensive line than saying you made lenny for net looked like excuse me lenny for net looked like he was alive he looked like an athlete because he had some holes to hit and uh fortunately he wasn't pulling the trint richardson thing where you get the screen caps because lenny for net was well on his way to being the next like trint richardson of look at the size of this hole that he didn't he was good though he was not bad he was pretty good i i mean i was saying on the live stream like please keep feeding lenny for net oh no you

said i i tuned in at the beginning and you were like which i agreed with your point you're like steven shade do you think that lenny for net's good at football yeah and uh he's like yeah you could be good or like no bmc's right here and then he actually ended up playing well it was the offensive line so the offensive line blocked really well for him and they blocked really well for tom brady so they they won the game for the bucks so i have to i have to take my hat off to the bucks good job you beat uh seven and nine football we're probably like the third best seven and nine team of all time hunked off so we hunked off we didn't if i if i could do my calling coward analogy about this game i would say that like the washington football team we didn't embarrass

ourselves we took a very out of our league attractive woman on a date we went to a nice restaurant we didn't spill food on ourselves we uh didn't have our credit card declined at the end of the evening and then we drove her home went in for a kiss and she was like just maybe on the cheek and we're like fine that's it i gave my best shot taylor heineke is like meeting uh a woman at a wedding and you guys hook up you meet friday night for the uh rehearsal dinner you have a great time you hook up it feels like it's going to be great you have some unbelievable sex you say you're going to keep in touch then maybe she comes comes and flies to your city like a month later and you're like oh we're not compatible at all that was the taylor heineke weekend got a lot

of weird habits that you don't necessarily want to cohabitate just keep it in the weekend keep it in that one weekend keep it in that one time when you thought that uh you had found your soulmate we covered the spread i said that we needed a defensive touchdown to win that would have been nice yeah we kept it respectable we were within two points in the third quarter couldn't turn off the game couldn't turn the game off good job well nothing we would but you couldn't we were just here we weren't here for a long time we're here for a good time yeah oh the dolphins swept the paths in 2000 so brady's rookie year okay but that not brady's playing right right in the playoffs oh three times no yeah no okay yeah i doubt i would doubt that he's lost oh what about didn't

they lose the jets one year in the playoffs stand by i wonder if i'd i would i'd be shocked if tom brady's lost three times to a team in one single year the barts got can't wait year yeah yeah that would be it would be shocking i don't see i see i don't see back to back losses but i mean they lost when i say they lost they that's a capital l when they lost two thousand for that too yeah for two losses but not three um all right uh next up ravens titans lamar jack by the way washington football team that's this is a loss that you come away from being like the future's bright yep which is good it feels good it's the we'll get to the bears the opposite of the bears loss it feels like everything's on the up and i'm optimistic right right right and you're building

towards something it's a building towards something lost versus a tear it all down this team is garbage and i hate everyone uh all right ravens titans lamar gets his playoff win they come back down 10 early they do the grass stomp he has the terrible pick and then ends up i mean the play where he ran for a touchdown where he's just i don't know how he's twice as fast as everyone on the field yeah it was it was his signature play of the postseason like he hasn't had one of those moments yet and he was like the the gas pedal that he stepped on at the 35 yard line was absolutely insane if you're chasing somebody that's that much faster than you it's got to be so demoralizing can even carl probably never ran full speed for the rest of the game just knowing like this guy

can get away from me right at the drop he was running like there was a toilet in the end zone yeah it was good to see and uh i mean i know ravens fans are trying to do the gotcha unfortunately i i slipped out of that one like six weeks ago because i've i said the ravens are going to win this game i bet the ravens i think the ravens are playing really good football i think they're fucking live in the afc right now especially because everyone kind of forgot about them and they're back to like just running it down people's throats but so lamar gets to win good for him he played well um the big story is the ravens defense was awesome the ravens defense was down 10 nothing in the first quarter they gave up three points for the rest of the game

they held derrick henry to 40 yards lowest total since week six last year that ravens defense is like they got everyone kind of healthy on the defensive line they're playing really good football and that's why they are a scary scary team yeah patrick queen is really good it turns out uh there was also the element of the titans preparing for the ravens by using deshaun keiser as their scout team lamar jackson which is i mean come on i don't know if rabal has had a chance to look at deshaun keiser run but lamar jackson he is not it would be it would probably be no one is more similar to have like fat vince young right now yeah be the scout team lamar jackson than deshaun keiser i'm trying to think is there any like tyreek hill maybe but tyreek hill has a different

style like lamar's elusiveness tyreek hill is probably faster than lamar it's rg3 that's why the ravens sign him so that nobody can use him as a scout team lamar jackson yeah he's so elusive um and i guess the real story of this game it's it's lamar jackson getting his first playoff win one and coming back from a 10 point deficit monkey off your back like feels good because if he had lost this game it would have been like what's going on here to mike frable friend of the program we love him he's a fantastic coach the punt was baffling the punt was absolutely baffling you have darry kenry it's fourth and two on the ravens 40 yard line in the fourth quarter and you punted the ball and then the ravens then went and went six minutes and 41 uh six minutes and 41 seconds in the other

direction for field goal you basically surrendered the game there like you can't punt the ball to a ravens team that is built to run clock you're down seven points you're in plus territory it's fourth down what you said is fourth and two fourth and two fourth and two on the four on the ravens 40 fourth and two on the ravens 40 so worst case scenario they get the ball back on the 40 yard line and you're still down as opposed to like kicking it where do they down the ball like the 10 uh i don't know yeah i don't think it was a great mic frable cut off his balls instead of his penis if you want to win a super bowl you got to make sure you're going after the right thing he was it was it was honestly the most cowardly punt that i've seen it was him and mike tomlin this weekend

bad weekend for mics and they're punting bad sad punt weekend that was um yeah no oh it was uh i think it actually was down it was oh no it's fair catch at the 15 so it was a they got a 25 yard punt insane insane you can't do that you just can't do that and then yeah the the ravens go all the way back down the field justin tucker like if you if you're the ravens the offense wasn't great like they still don't have great wide receivers they made enough plays hollywood brown played well but um he's fast again hollywood brown got slow for like three or four weeks and now he's quick he's also and i listen we're pussies like we're just pussies we're podcasters hollywood brown does like to go out of bounds yeah well so does tag in yeah he likes to go about

yeah it can work i just thought of that's not a slight i would i wouldn't even be on the field dishawn jackson loves to go out of bounds too yeah if you're that small yeah you got it sometimes get out about listen to sidelines your best friend yeah get out of bounds um so yeah like we are pussies this oh big time pussies huge pussies huge pussies that's why i don't even play in the nfl yeah i yeah exactly i'm afraid of getting in yeah i always stay out of bounds then my next injury is death yeah if i get injured significantly again it's over yeah i mean have you see i know the not to move too fast you saw what happened to doug segura or what's his name tom segura yeah right his body exploded right at a certain point your body will just eat itself yes my next

injury is death but jesson tucker missed his kick he missed a kick and when jesson tucker misses a kick he gets this meth face he he's like god fucked up he like looks at the sky is like god you really you really screwed the pooch on that one buddy i don't miss that kick but jesson tuckers kicks weren't they didn't have that pop that jesson tucker popped that the new it was weird was it windy there i don't know i don't know it was weird seeing him miss it but i guess that's probably good to have a miss that doesn't end up being a loss and it's in the first round but either way the ravens are a tough fucking team this is going to be a great game against the bills that feels like a game where it like if any team if either of those teams

doesn't come with their a performance they'll like you know what i mean you there's no margin for error in that type of game because both teams are very very good something keep your eye on teddy brusky brought this up in the simulcast room that they had lemar start handing the ball off with his right hand even when he was going to his when he was turning to the wrong side right and teddy brusky's like something's wrong with his hand something's wrong with his it's his non-throwing hand put in your tickler file it's his uh it's his well i guess since he runs with the ball a lot it does make a difference if you have a broken hand on the left side as opposed to if you're just like a pocket passer yes won't really matter that much right if he's running to

the left side of the field and he can't and it's now on his outside hand keep an eye on that keep an eye on the left hand and the the um the stomp on the logo is awesome we need more bad blood we need more bad blood like it's good that these two teams hate each other it's good for football um i loved it they all just instantly went and stomped on the logo it's fucking awesome that's what's great about sports and the game was still very much going on three timeouts and like a minute and a half a minute 50 something like that left in the fourth quarter but here's a here's a weird idea big cat if you don't want opponents to step on your logo don't put it at midfield on a football field put it on your that's like uh you can't do it at at washington

you can't do it in raljon it's the field that's my favorite whenever whenever there's a new locker room it's like don't step on the logo and they make the logo enormous in the middle of the locker it's like hey we have this new 10 000 square foot locker room but you can't use 9 000 square feet of it can you imagine though if a team did something like that the meadowlands and just stomped on the nfl shield like how quickly would roger godel have you killed yeah it'd be disrespectful and uh shout out to patrick uh rickard who's 311 pounds he's bigger now he gets bigger every time he's now he's he's 320 pounds he's 62 63 he's a dude he's a dude that guy listen and it matters for them yeah they run the ball they fucking pound you they play punch you in the

mouth football and that's why the ravens like last year they were scoring all the points it felt like they were passing a lot now it feels like the ravens have found that identity like we're going to punch you in the mouth and we're going to play really good defense here's my take i think patrick rickard is the best athlete on that ravens offense probably right when you look at the size i know billy respects dez brian yeah dez brian you're right he's yeah he fell down he's what 300 290 uh he's a wide he's a tight end patrick card is a dude they had the tessie titans lead the league and boys respect to the boys but they didn't have all the respect to the boys didn't have enough dudes and will compton's uh i think he's wearing like a starter jack you look fucking

awesome going into the game shout out will come all right last game and then we're going to get to herby um saint spares wait before we do that do you have another uh yeah i do let's do it let's do it real quick if you were sitting down trying to watch uh the nicolodian game one way that might make it a whole lot better of an experience is if you dip into a little three chi on your couch i know that would have been awesome yes if i had the opportunity to do that unfortunately i didn't but three chi would absolutely enhance that it'll enhance anything i love three chi it's the industry leader in delta eight thc products all their products are formulated by biochemists they're made in the us with usa grown hemp it's available online at three chi that's the number three chi

all right bear saints fuck the bears man they suck but they play you on the nvp they play a soul-sucking version of football it's exhausting i respect you for being able you've watched let's see four hours a week four times 16 what's four times 16 jay 64 64 you've watched 64 hours that's like three days of don't say that there's football this year it's um it it actually is exhausting like i at halftime i went and sat in my corner at at my desk and just sat like i didn't even look i didn't look at my phone i didn't do i just sat because i was like i need a break from watching this fucking team try to play football i don't even want to like everyone saw it they suck there was only one shitty performance truly shitty performance this weekend one shitty

game it was the bears like how many times do i have to watch them get absolutely pantsed on national television and looking like absolute clowns and jumping off sides and fucking anthony miller get the fuck off of my team punching people after everyone knew that was coming from uh cd deuce or whatever the fuck his name is yes he was the best shit talker in the world apparently cd deuce is the best pest he's he's a mvp most valuable pest he got two bears kicked out of games for throwing punches this year he got michael thomas relegated to the sidelines for like he is a great shit talker he is he's uh like metal world peace he's metal he's metal world war how about javon wim's like javon wim's was the first cd deuce uh you know person he got p punched cd deuce gets

kicked out of the game gets fined for suspended for two games the bears bring them back like matt nakey you talk about culture you talk about building a winning culture and all this fucking mumbo jumbo and you get so emotional all the time you brought back a guy who did that who's not even a very good player and then he comes he drops a sure thing absolute dime like you are the chicago bears your offense sucks you get very few chances to have a trick play not only work but mr biskey throw an absolute fucking dime from 50 yards and it goes through the receiver's hands who you should have cut in october because he cost you then and then the same thing happens to another guy this week because guess what you didn't cut the first guy and now anthony miller's like

hey what's the worst can happen i'm not gonna get cut cut him today i like i don't see this over but either way the bears are just soul sucking like i also love the fact that they went deep they tried that play and then they like kind of never went deep again like that was a shot they the game does change though if if they catch that totally that's a touch totally and the pole command penalty which was terrible alice bad call fuck you alice you fucking piece of shit i fucking hate you you're the worst um that's a ref crew that i always hate jake i'm actually mad at you by the way i told you yeah he did jake i told you jake tweeting at me is not telling me next time alice kemp has a fucking crew and he's in a game and i told you in person yeah jake here's what we're

gonna do though has to be on the podcast no you have to put a piece of paper in front of me stating what game alice kemp is reffing and i have to sign it and date it okay i see that's the only way this is gonna work get it notarized all right you have to treat you have to treat big cat like no i can't there's too much shit going on that would be my father so he big cat needs to have like a post-it note yes you have to write it down on our post-it note every morning and put it on your computer you have to have a picture of me holding it up being like i when i when when the first quarter started and they went and now we go to the crew alice come on fuck this fucking guy he's just can't get rid of him but i knew the first time i saw it i told you yeah one former

alright so the bear sock i hate him i hate matt nagy you gotta have a poster that says this is alex kemp he is against you do not trust his lies right right exactly so i hate him i hate i hate matt nagy uh mitch needs to be set free like i mitch we've been through it a million times talking about the nvp the nvp let's get to that in a second but mitch we've been through it it's not gonna work i don't know i hope he has a great career he's a nice guy it just makes no sense that you have a quarterback like remember we had this conversation a month ago where it's like hey we're gonna keep matt nagy do you think i can keep mitch this is exactly why they can't both coexist because matt nagy doesn't trust trust mitch trebisky so he puts handcuffs on the guy and then's like hey

go out and try to win a playoff game with handcuffs on we'll do a trick play and then we'll never throw deep again the whole thing's a joke the defense tried their hardest i you know they're off sides or bad coached just a fucking dumpster fire of an organization this is the opposite of the washington football team they're losing this playoff game and i feel even worse i feel worse because there feels like there's no end in sight it's just going to be the same product over and over because that's what's always been it's always been this product it's always been this exact iteration of the bears where they just suck the life out of you when they have the ball on the offensive somehow the entire nfl has changed everything they do to play offensive football

except the chicago bears they're the only franchise that hasn't figured out that you can score points in 2020 they it's like illegal to them cody park he scored more points than the bears today he did he did he scored more points than the bears today like they in the they scored nine points but they really scored three points because the touchdown at the end was kind of just whatever and jimmy graham makes a great catch and it's just maddening it's terrible it's gross i hate it and i can't wait for next season because i'll probably sell myself into them winning the nfc north i forgot about that touchdown at the end until you just remind me right now fuck matt nagy was he allowed to kick it next point so the rule they wanted to know they changed the rule if he could

have sent out no god damn it changed the rule so if i wish they had never scored a touchdown if an extra point doesn't change they might actually have to change this rule when gambling becomes legalized everywhere but if an extra point doesn't change the outcome of a game it does change the outcome this is i would have won my i know i know i think they might have to change this rule but that's why that's why that sucked man that the end of that game sucked just because they got me so close and it was like i was rooting for mitch on that last drive just out of the possibility that maybe we could see an nvp type performance out of them and get a touchdown that would cover the spread and at least your defense is good your defense is

still good all right yeah your defense is fine yeah i know they don't tackle the third downs all day saints weren't great no i the saints are who we thought they are they like as crazy as it is and every everything i just said about the bears this was a completely winnable game going into the second half like the bears were they were in a game where they could have won it if they had any type of just base level competency they don't so they couldn't but like the saints it's i mean drew breeze the you can't stretch the field with them their defense is good but then sometimes it's not good i don't know we'll see next week's gonna be very interesting against the box yeah i'm just glad that this was the nick loading game yeah the fact that the bears were such a miserable team to

watch offensively all their games should be on the nick loading channel because it makes it's so much more visually entertaining to watch the bears when you get some neon colors mixed in there like i i love the slime it felt like i was watching football on acid when they had the first down marker and it was like glowing green with slime the the first down line that they had go across the field it was thicker it was like yeah twice as thick as it was normally is it was visually i felt i felt amazing watching it even though it was a soul sucking brand of football and i'm i understand from your perspective that like you don't want your clown show of a football team to be featured on the clown network it was for me it was like yeah this makes this football game fun the first

half it was torture because i had billy who legitimately was like oh we got a slime people like billy i he's 10 years old i'll sit next to a 10 year old watching this game billy you can talk why wouldn't we watch the game on nickalodian because it was a playoff game with my team in a game i know it was better it was an objective right it's hard it's hard to it's hard to not feel like a complete joke when your team is a joke and then you're on a joke fucking network we missed so much cool stuff okay you saw it that was the thing i couldn't understand i wanted to hear it too six televisions we had the nickalodian channel on the entire time we had the sound on the cbs as soon as i don't know why my alarms go off as soon as uh the game was out of reach because

pretty much when the when the saint scored 14 points that was out of that was officially out of reach we just switched to trying to get mr biskey his nvp award and that became fun because he did the nickalodian valuable player he got the nvp he won it running away the most prestigious nfl award only one winner he's the he's the first he's the youngest nvp winner russia wilson's never won it you know who else hasn't won a big get patrick mahomes i would like i mean deshaun wassen i know that this is recency bias but tired super bowl lombardi trophies wired nvp nvp and i'm so glad that it worked out that way we i think we're gonna try to get jamis winston the nvp but you couldn't vote for him because he wasn't playing but mitch was right

there at the top mitch ended up going home with 49 percent like it was a landslide a landslide it was a fucking dominant victory by mitch and they tried to steal our nvp too they tried to give it to drew breeze on the show right they saw the numbers and all of a sudden the numbers stopped and then next thing you knew there were going to be hundreds of thousands of votes that just appeared in the middle of the day that went for drew breeze like it's his birthday he's old he sucks now he loves kids he's got kids that watch nickalodian they were trying to they were trying to steal we stopped the steal they were trying to give it to drew yep mr biskey i don't know if he has do you think he has any like bonuses his contract he should nvp it's now officially on pro football reference

2021 nvp yeah uh we were selling a shirt it was it was the perfect encapsulation of pretty much life where pain suffering watching the bears and just miserable time what do you do with it you don't talk it through you don't try to change you just bury it with humor yeah and make the whole god damn thing a joke but you know what he got the blimp that was great i had a great time it was the best fourth quarter of a losing playoff game i've ever had do you think that they went into the locker room and gave him the trophy i don't i hope so i don't think they did i want the trophy i want it i think they just like announced it on the game and then just they're like you know what we can't we can't for people who don't have twitter uh they literally so nickalodian had

vote for our nvp nickalodian v valuable player and we just started tweeting it we got mitch for nvp trending on twitter he won the vote with 50 it's a fake award uh what's the guy's name lex lex blumkin lex had to give it to him lex lex blumkin had to give it to a lex blumkin gave it to mitch and uh the whole thing was a farce but we spent the entire fourth quarter trying to rig an election it was fun we ended up playing ourselves why because oh billy's mad because no i'm mad no no billy's mad because we violated the sanctity of the nickalodian no this is what happened basically their plan to real live slime someone during the broadcast was to slime the nvp winner and since it was on the losing team no one wanted to come out to receive the trophy they should

have so no one got slimed they shouldn't i know but again you were you were so mad and it was like does no one come out i wanted to see someone get slimed this is where i uh when i say i had to watch next to a ten-year-old this is what i'm talking about no but i was like we watched you were you were legitimately upset that we didn't get slimed you're like where was the slime you don't get it no i get it it would have been very funny though if they had slimed mitch after that game shan pain did get slimed not live on so you feel good two hours ago i was like it was a fake sliming yeah it was it okay the only thing there were two things i didn't like about the broadcast one was the spongebob net i didn't like the spongebob net god damn it i was

just envisioning it was too much a huge kick with the spongebob net it would have been so and have the spongebob net laugh at you yeah because you missed what would that sound like billy but yeah i didn't like that it reminded me of the popsicle it just made me want to eat a spongebob popsicle and then the other part was young sheldon this fucking young sheldon kid they kept popping up and mansplaining nerdsplaining to me he's he's like darin revelle that's exactly what darin revelle looked like when he was a kid except i don't know i don't know what this young sheldon's kids deal is but he's fucking obsessed with buttons yeah he's got more buttons on his shirt than anybody in the history of mankind and he's always popping up saying the most annoying

shit while i'm trying to sit here and engineer a rigged election for an nvp yeah that was the moment that i i wanted to actually like i wanted to just end it all i want to end the whole i want to light the whole room on fire and have us all die when we were i was watching the bears in the playoffs get a pick have the pick be overturned and naparleson was like see the tip of the ball it's like a dog's nose coming out of there and i was like what the fuck is going on kill me now so that ball hit the ground kind of like if you'd imagine a dog's nose sniffing a carpet yeah and it was and i was like i want if i had a grenade i would have pulled the pin and handed it to frank the tank and we all would have blown up i i did see some people complaining on twitter

and it was very very funny to see adults that were like replying to tweets getting mad at the nicolodian broadcaster like this is the worst broadcast in sports history it's like dude you're willingly watching your children's net you're opting it and you're getting mad about it you can there's another channel where if you want to hear the most adult people on the planet jim nance and tony rohmo talk about a football in very serious tones and drab colors you're more than welcome to hit that last button right no control as for me i want to see some fucking neon slime on the field any other time i was at a great job explaining what a great job any other any other game i would have been in it's just very hard to stomach the nicolodian channel when your team's

getting pantsed on live television for the tenth time this year i understand that but on behalf of the rest of america thank you for making the bear's broadcast entertaining uh all right let's get to herby kerr kerb street college football playoffs championship tonight ohio state albama gonna be great and a huge announcement so kerr kerb street course light guy we are now officially course light guys uh this show is brought to you by course light course light is our favorite beer we're we've made the switch we're course like guys i listen we talked about this with kerr kerb street but i'm gonna say it again there's something about course light it's a psychological thing when the mountains turn blue there's no better feeling in the world i'm a

this beer is scientifically crisp i'm like fuck yes i'm all in and that's why we love course light because course light is made to chill those chill moments they're few and far between these days everyone's go go go everyone's the rat race everyone's working hard uh you know trying to to do their job whether you're doing it during the week or maybe you know you're doing on the weekend you're watching football can't lose parley happens need a second to refresh yourself say hey we lost again okay that stinks let's have a course light let's chill out that's what it is it's made to chill chill yourself out with course light mountains on the bottles and cans even turn blue when your beer is cold like we said that's how chill it is so course light

it was the greatest like he thought he was the smartest person in the world it was such a fucking funny moment god damn it he did pull a very very smart move like shockingly smart for billy to the point that it scared me uh when we were getting the lottery machine set back up in here billy had to bring a bunch of cases of course light into the room which meant going out to the kitchen and probably making six or seven trips to come back with all the beer and i saw him filming two of the guys at work here bringing the beer in for him and putting it down because billy told them i need to get some behind the scenes footage of us setting up the ping pong machine that he was like pretending to film them on the camera just so that they would do his work for that's billy

chilling because course lights made to chill chili football that's the way to go billy i forget love course yeah dude i do too i i love course i love the blue mountains buffalo wings taste better with course light it's the best buffalo there is the coldest beer in the world all right the best beer is a cold beer yeah and that's always course light here we go the best beer is a cold beer and the coldest beer is course light perfect all right let's get to our friend kerr kerb street and we're gonna talk about college football championship game okay we now welcome on a very special guest long overdue uh it is the legend kerr kerb street you've seen him every saturday morning every saturday night in the fall for god knows two decades plus he is part of the

fabric of america this is a good intro i'm just gonna keep going with it part of the fabric of america he will be calling the national title game on monday night alabama vs ohio state and on top of all of that you've just actually heard us announce that we are uh now uh officially sponsored by course light so so in kirk i know that you love a course light so pretty much you're the perfect guest great to have you on great to have you here let's talk some ball well i just want to welcome you guys first of all it's great to be with you guys i've been following you guys for a long time and i appreciate you having me uh on to join you i know that uh talking with my guy shon ferrell at course light this is a huge deal for course light to have you guys now part of the

team and i've been with course light for a number of years unbelievable not just a great beer but but a great organization and a great group to be partnered up with so congrats on that and i'm glad we're we're now teammates we're we're very excited because uh a little known fact my favorite thing in the entire world is when the mountains do turn blue there's nothing better in the entire world than when you get an actually like i think it's something psychological about seeing the cold as well as feeling the cold that makes it the best beer in the world so that's all i agree with you um all right let's talk a little ball let's talk a little uh i actually want to talk a little game day too i think pft does as well um let's start with the let's start with game day let's start with

game day um you've been doing the show forever it's it's an unbelievable show it's uh i think i think it actually might be the show that the most like the the highest approval of any show out there everyone loves game day no one doesn't like game day what is your uh favorite college campus to go to and uh what's like the craziest uh like one off like maybe one that you've been to that you haven't been back to that you'd like to go back to you know at 25 years this for me i don't know where you guys were 25 years ago um probably elementary school but i i was i've been doing this for a long time we first started doing this there'd be a you know like like what probably you've seen your show grow there may be a couple hundred people around our set of course so didn't

even put on a mascot head he would just find a somebody around the set had a crazy hat he'd sell somebody to go grab it um and then things changed in the michael bicker frank beamer was the first coach to kind of get what game day was and he was the first coach to recognize it and really embrace it and challenge the hokey nation uh when game day comes to virginia tech in blacksburg we're going to bring as many fans as we can and we had like 20 000 fans show up one time to a college game day and that was like eight nineties maybe around 2000 that just changed everything from that point on because he was the first coach to recognize what it could do it's basically an infomercial if you include sports center and everything we do on friday and saturday it's like a 48 hour

infomercial for the school yeah so he got it it changed everything uh where i love to go i mean i'm from the big ten i grew up you know in ohio obviously if you eliminate columbus where's home i love going to places like wisconsin i love going to penn state in the big ten because they're radical they love college football there they're passionate i just love going to places they're passionate about the sport uh the sec i mean it's pretty much interchangeable you go to anywhere down there tuscaloosa athens baton rouge they're they're all kind of the eugene origan would shock you guys i mean maybe now they have more of a reputation when i first went out to eugene origan i couldn't believe it was dark out six in the morning and there'd be 10 or 15 thousand people

as far as you could see so those are the obvious places and some of the fun ones you guys are like jmu yeah fargo or soda you know places like that that when they told me we were going there initially i was like what what are we doing and then you go there and the entire town shows up more in downtown fargo i mean so those are the ones that typically stand out when we go to places like that yeah harrisenberg is the paris france of western virginia that's what they often say yes it's a great place to visit yeah um is there something in the contract with college game day where you have to have kenny chesney on a certain amount of times per year is it like it's like we don't have a guest picker uh might as well call kenny up he's got nothing to do

kidding eric church uh luke bryan you're right he's been on a ton uh no no i just think you know we we try i don't even know who comes up with with the ideas i know we have we have an entire department they try to get creative and try to come up with with different people it's challenging man i mean we're even offering them a free plane ride to come fly over and this is back in the days when we're you know when the show is traveling now we just assume people and bill murray's been on a bunch will ferrell's been on a bunch um and yeah it seems that we we definitely have our fair share of country music stars for sure is there one campus that you've been on where you've either you or somebody else on college game day has had a either a bad take or an aggressive take about that school

and you get there and you're actually like a little bit fearful because the fans are like screaming at you a little bit louder than normal like they might start throwing stuff at you have you ever had to put up the uh like the chicken wire that they use in blues brother yeah yeah yeah we we have chicken wire it's like it's like an invisible net that we have around the entire thing because people used to throw things mainly a course though but but i would get friendly fire as well the only time i've experienced that is uh michigan fans are early in my career i'm pretty much the way i'm talking to you guys right now it's kind of how i talk on the air michigan fans i've always i've treated michigan like any other team but just being an ohio state guy it was like back in uh

let's say 97 we were up in an arbor ohio state was undefeated michigan was undefeated it was year michigan went on to win the national title with woodson and um they they threw i they threw like snow ice balls hit me you know in the chest hit me in the back of the head it was before we had the uh the net up i think that was what led to that and somebody threw a full beer can one time and drilled went right between corso and i's head and blew up it came with force it blew up on the on the set uh when it landed and i think after that our bosses said uh like you said there's some strong opinions people in college football i think more so than the nfl yeah they they take you know what i mean they take it really personally and so um yeah you you feel that uh

from time to time when we when we go out on the road again we haven't been on the road over a year now that's what makes college football college football though i you know i love to like debate with people when we get to playoff time on twitter and people will sometimes be like oh man like why are you spending your time like you know uh an entire afternoon on a wednesday debating with random people like that's what i like i like doing it because everyone is super passionate there are debates unfortunately that we can't always decide on the field but that's what makes college football college football totally agree it's subjective right i mean even the playoff we have a committee no one really understands what's going on behind the curtain

you know anything that you guys say on your show about college football anything we say on our show anybody who has an opinion at all um because it's subjective at the end of the day it's it gets people really fired up because you're right like you're you know whether it's your your nfl teams if they finish nine and seven or whatever they finish there's a tiebreaker whether you go to the first second third fourth all the way down to the fifth tiebreaker there's some way of establishing who's going to move on and in college football there's not like texas a and m fans right now hate me they they hate anybody they hate me too they hate me too they hate you yeah anybody who thought a and m shouldn't be in the top four you know you're dead to them and so next time we go down there you're

you know you'll feel that wrath so you're right that's what makes i because i don't know i don't feel that in the nfl is as passionate as we all are in this country about football in the nfl mba mlb i mean it's i guess it's the closest thing to european soccer college football just because of uh the way fans they they get sideways with you in a hurry if you disagree with their team or their player it also i think uh goes to the history of the game and the history of programs and that's where you get like the crazy crazy college football is when the expectations don't meet uh you know reality whereas nfl it's kind of you know the you can you can you can be good for a few years you can be bad for a few years not like well this we need to restore ourselves

to this this tradition like whereas college football you have fan bases michigan nebraska you know texas usc we're saying like we need to get back to what we were it's like well maybe i don't know if that's true like i don't know if you can you're totally right and you know i i really i don't know how you guys feel about this i i know you guys follow football and you're into it how do you feel right now about college football the way it's trending you know that like like the post season i think is a frustration for a lot of fans because you got clemson alabama Ohio state every year and then it's like who's the fourth team gonna be i don't know how healthy that is for the sport i don't know if there's ever been more of an emphasis on the high the high

school player that's going to college on just where am i going to go for three years and bounce to the nfl it's just all about the nfl and i just feel that these high school going into college these kids are missing out on an opportunity to really make a difference in the college game because if you have a great college career that can set you up even if you don't become a brilliant nfl player make millions of dollars you can still have a great life and i think these these kids right now they've never been more focused on the nfl and it's like they don't even really plant their roots at their college stop i don't know i think it's a little bit of a slippery slope right now for for the game of college football there's definitely a problem i think at least from my perspective

with like a pipeline so if you're an elite kid that's coming up by the time you're in eighth grade and you're one of the best athletes there's a pipeline that's already in place of okay here's the summer camps you need to go to here the guys you need to be working with and we're going to feed you to like one of four schools and then those four schools are going to continue to be great and you know it'll be great football on the field but you will lose a little bit of that national aspect of the sport so in my opinion i feel like they they do need to expand the playoffs even though there's nothing i love more than having a ucf claim a national championship because they didn't get into the playoffs that's why i was rooting for like Cincinnati this year

it's like the more the more teams that can just like claim that they won a national title i think the better for the sport and for the conversation around it but they need to expand it at least to like eight teams minimum within the next couple years i think i also think they need to do to to specifically what you're saying kirk like i i think the thing i hate the most about college sports is when uh guys go pro and they go into the draft and they're told that they're going to be some you know first round draft pick lottery draft pick they end up being a day two second round draft or not drafted and then they're kind of stuck because someone got in their ear and told them that they were going to be making millions of dollars next year so i think the easiest fix

right away and we don't have to get into paying the players there should be a rule that you know two weeks after the trap you can go back to college you can say i'm going back to college i'm you know this didn't work out the way i thought it was going to be i went in the seventh round i thought it was going to be a third rounder i hired an agent i made a mistake let me go back and play some more college ball i really think that they should give that ball again i love that i love that i i think that uh i think college basketball you guys have to tell me if that's still a case i mean if they don't contact an agent and they go into the nba draft and it doesn't work out can you still come back i know you know you see that way yeah there's a new rule

that you can basically test the waters and do tryouts and stuff and then and so they made a little bit but it's the same thing in college basketball where they need to make it so that a guy you see it every single year where a guy thinks he's a lottery pick and he ends up being a second rounder and then you know everything kind of changes from there where he was told someone got in his ear for selfish reasons and they're just you know a lot i know they're not kids because they're 21 years old but like when i was 21 i was a fucking idiot so you know i can say they were they're just kids well i i think you're you're you're definitely on to it i i believe that you know the the power five there's a good chance if you listen to a lot of the the talk

the knights commission there's a chance they break off away from the ncw create their own governing body and i think if they do that that what you're suggesting might be one of the things that they might consider or have to look at because we're at a spot right now these kids they listen to their agents or their parents listen to these agents they're told their first or second rounder they either go second day or they end up not getting drafted i think it was like 40 of the kids that declared early last year in that i'm not even being drafted and you love to have an opportunity to be able to put them back on it on a roster i just think it's unfortunate that they're these kids and i'm not trying to act like listen to me you know i'm i'm trying to i'm just trying

to help you it's like you're going 80 miles an hour towards a bridge that's out and i'm just trying to help you help yourself and the thing is if you go to play college football and you have a great career and you're you're kind of a humble dude that's gracious to people around you wisconsin for example when you're done you're gonna be taken care of in so many ways people are gonna want to help you in business they're gonna want to help you find a successful path in your life and i just think all these kids now they all think they're going to become patrick mahomes they don't hope they know they're going to become a guy that's making hundreds of millions of dollars and i feel like we need to help them understand that's cool man shoot for those goals that's great but when it

doesn't happen you need to have something to fall back on and that's where i think the college experiences is so important for these guys i agree and i think that actually something that could help with that is if we went ahead and kind of advanced some of these like name and likeness type rules where while kids at school you're encouraged to be part of the community because there are all sorts of sponsorships out there like if you're a backup or a like a rotational guy down in starkville or something and you're not going to make the NFL you're not going to make millions dollars you're still bringing in a lot of money for the school if you want to ingratiate yourself to that community start doing like you know local ads for a car dealership or whatever it might be

and they'll pay you some money while you're on campus that's going to give you a further tie into the area even after you graduate and you're also able to make a little bit more money while you're there so i feel like that's a win-win situation for everybody involved yeah i think name image and like this is going to be an interesting interesting aspect of college sports and how they handle it because i agree it would be great i think maybe just up the scholarship and the cost of attendance you know name image and like this let's say you know you're a you're a five-star recruit and alabama is recruiting and ohio states recruiting and usc is recruiting you how often would name image and likeness come up you know like hey they're they're saying they're

going to get you you know 500 000 and name image like this we can ensure you a million dollars in name and i don't know if that would come into play but the thought of that it almost becomes like the wild wild west so i i don't know maybe there's an assurance of that we somehow get these guys a little bit more money i have two kids in clemson right now who are preferred walk-ons and i i can assure you that these college kids are not going around without money they have plenty of money i think sometimes there's a perception that they're being exploited or that they're that they don't have money now a guy like trevor lorenz you know he's in one of the few guys or just in fields some of these guys that that have really been out in the forefront or really the faces of the

sport that's really different what i think you're talking about is those guys could score i mean those guys could definitely take advantage whether it's jersey sales or just going down to like you say a local mall and signing autographs there's no doubt about that or even based on how many followers you have on social media yeah tweet this many times and you know so there's opportunities out there but i would hate for the the boosters to get involved and it become the wild wild west because i i think that would be dangerous for the sport as opposed to what it is right now but um the even worse yeah let me get some breaking news though from you if the uh name image and likeness they figure this all out and we actually do get the greatest uh video game ever created back

ncda uh college football will you will you do it will you call it will you will you be the voice of it like you were when it was still around in 2014 man my my kids play it the forward team game you know they download the rosters my youngest son in eighth grade you know he's into it uh one of the greatest honors i ever had because i grew up a gamer myself i started with bill wash college football and then it became in cda and uh joey galloway and i used to it's embarrassing how many hours we used to play and i hated joey because he would me and the other guys got him big d and another guy named snook we would all play and it was embarrassing joey would bring out like ball state and beat us and and you know he would not use florida or like one of his good teams and

we're like and he's just so cocky on how he would play and but we would play ours we went between that mba live nhl live those are like all of us and we but the college football game it's so much better for me than the madden game because the option part of it and and qb run yeah so it would be that was my like i said one of my great honors when they asked me go from playing the game to being on the game uh i would love uh to do that and hope to get an opportunity once that game comes back okay um done want to talk about the national championship obviously for a second while you're here uh are you going to be able to be impartial are you going to be are you going to be able to play straight can we trust you as national viewers i've been doing this for

a hundred years i mean i it's the only time you know that i even i said this to somebody the other day 2006 i did ohio state michigan ohio state was number one in the country michigan was number two bow had died the day before um my car was a is that my car yeah my car had a big game that game ohio state ended up holding on with troye smith and teddy again i called that game with brent and i'd like to go back and think i was impartial that was the only time um you know if if you ever thought how are you gonna be this is the first time i had called ohio state in michigan but i've done so many big ohio state games i get accused more of being mean to ohio state or too tough on ohio state um i just honestly dude i like right now here's my board right here like

when i get done with you guys before i was with you all i do is prep and so when i call the game i've done so much legwork all i see are just jersey numbers and and xos and i just i just break the game down and if people like it they think i'm biased and they think i'm biased because there always will be those people if they think i hate ohio state then there's gonna be people that think i hate ohio state but the reality is between the three of us i just break the game down and call it and call what i see no i i actually do i i agree with you from someone who watches a lot of college football i know that you're impartial the only time you're partial uh or biased that pisses me off is sometimes you get a little too on the side of the refs and that makes me mad so maybe

just point out every now and then like if you were a fan of this team i could see how you'd be pissed right now is i get on the refs no you get you know you defend the refs i remember i mean i is all really just a rose bowl wisconsin oregon last year i i went back through my tweets and i was motherfucking you because i don't know what you were talking about but i was mad that you were like defending the rest or whatever happened that sounds like that sounds like a dude who bet on a game well duh yeah duh one day i come hang in your guys your spot you guys why it's so much fun man yeah that looks like you got a ball yes one time i love to come obviously i can't do it for college football but maybe on an nfl uh sunday maybe i can come in there i just want to

watch all all the shit talking and everything that's going on in the room we done we'll have it be done but i have to actually ask you for a favor back if you do come um maybe my favorite person in all of media has to come as well and that is uh chris fleek of the bear who i consider a friend but he is so he he basically is with you all the time right do you is he just a walking talking stat machine do you just like look at bear and you're like hey bear what do you think about this and he just spits out like a computer all this data for you that fills your head with information no he used to be that guy then he became an on air guy and now he he keeps the stats to himself i'm and thankfully i grew up in the oh is that is that is that selfish move by him are you like hey

now that you're a hollywood you know the bears on on air so now he's keeping all the good stats bear and bears never been a stat guy with me he's been more of just an extra set of eyes bears very analytical man he knows the game and he and that's what i value i've always valued about him when i when i went into the booth to call games the first thing i requested is can bear come with me into the truck and and be in my ear not because of stats but because he just knows the game and so he'll give me a thought during a game of something because you can only talk about so much when you're doing a game and then bear will see something that's very it's not so much against stat oriented he's so much next level than just looking up stats um and and i'm not a stat guy when i when i do my

analysis so i just i really value the dude's knowledge of the game and his ability to kind of see the big picture uh he's legendary but he can give you all the stats you want he can do especially the betting trends yeah um that he's rain man you know when it comes to stuff like that and so yeah if i come into your to the room there to watch games uh bear would definitely come with me with with all his betting intel to be able to help you guys out we would love that he he's just such a funny dude and he's no like you said he knows the game i've also heard uh through other mutual friends that he can fall asleep anywhere anytime like right in your face he'll just fall asleep like you just be sitting there he'll fall asleep in your face hey i should send you some

pictures uh it's it's always betting forms the horse betting form and it's just on his belly he just puts his head back and this is there's nothing better than saying the bear with his horse horse betting forms on his stomach with his head back uh snoring awesome it's it's it's a price to see and on a saturday by the way when we're supposed to be back like you guys we have a room in the back of our bus it's got like five tv's and we're watching college football on the bottom left screen is freaking horse racing you know sarah toga wherever we're betting and my man in the front left with his with his betting forms at some point during the day for a couple hours i love it so he's gotta come with he's gotta come to the gambling cave because he is a true

gambler's game and we've got six tv's so we'll put horse racing on one of them we'll put two on yeah whatever it takes to get him there uh but what where do you guys do that is that new york yeah well we go we had we were going to filly a bunch because we have the sportsbook app and then the covid uh regulation so we've been doing it more in new york but we're gonna be traveling all around we're going to be opening up the sportsbook in illinois and michigan hopefully ohio at some point tennessee so awesome we'll figure out a way to get this uh the gang together hey by the way congratulations on that fund you guys have have done and created i i i i i uh put some money in initially when it first got started i you up over like 20 million now it's not 20 million

it's crazy and uh i i i think that it's i know you guys like to have a lot of fun and and bust balls and all that but i think it's incredible to show that that giving spirit and help so many different people out and i know i talked with course light and they want to give a hundred thousand dollars to that fund as well that's amazing tribute all right well shout out you guys like you guys yeah yeah you guys are making a big difference so i know a lot of people are appreciative of what you're knowing yeah i mean people need help right now so that's why we did the deal with course like these are the best they are the absolute best saviour companies would never do something like that course like did uh i need to thank you kirk because you are the

last bastion of integrity in modern media with you not ever picking the saturday night game where they go out of their way to be like and kirk will not pick this game because he's calling it that makes me feel good as an american every week i'm like this guy gets it this guy has integrity he'll never pick the game but i do have like a small piece of advice because i know you do make picks on that game you just don't tell people you should go on only fans yeah you should sell that last pick on only fans and everybody would buy it because that's the one thing that i've wanted like my entire life watching college game is like i need to know who is picking for that late game you've created such a demand by never saying that's cool dude you could sell that pick for a lot of

money every week well here's the thing man the reason honestly i don't make the pick is this morning for example i was on the phone with alabama's defensive coordinator peak golding and he talks to me and all these guys are i'm very fortunate they talk to me in a very different way than they talk when they're doing a press conference and then later today i'm going to talk to sarc and then i'm going to go talk you know to nick saban and these guys all give me some serious coach and tell coach saban coach saban coach saban and then i'll talk to ryan day and then i'll tell you so so by the time i do the game i've got so much knowledge that i don't i don't want to make it look like i'm with that knowledge now i'm picking this team so i don't know it's no

big deal but i like your idea i may i may i may have to use that well maybe it's a and with all the knowledge i would assume still even knowing everything that's gonna you know what this team wants to do what this team wants to do you probably still have the time it goes differently than what you expected right so so true so true and i i guess that's why i don't know how you guys feel about the nfl i guess it's even harder to predict but college football like ohio state climson i no matter how much intel you guys had or i had on that game the the equalizer and i think it's more in college than pro is when you get a team pissed off you get an entire team not two guys but an entire team that spends seven months through a global pandemic and feels that they

got job the last time they took the field against that team you that's just such an equalizer you throw out all the xos you throw it out it had everything to do with just a chip on their shoulder and an attitude and you never know when you're you're preparing to do a game is that going to play out are they truly that pissed off and and at the end of the game for Ohio state they were now we don't know they're gonna it's like they're manufacturing ways to get mad at alabama maybe coach savings daughter got a mad who knows yeah they got a another way to get mad you know what i mean yeah try to get ready for out so you brought up sark which is interesting because i remember uh a couple years ago when alabama was in the national championship game and lane kiffin had

taken a job and nick sabin said you're not going to stick around for this game see you go focus on what you're going to do with sark it's a similar situation because obviously he's going to texas what what's the difference there what has sark done differently where nick sabin is like yeah okay i trust you you're still on this team you're still going to be involved leading up to the championship game actually he's had a bunch of coordinators that have left to take other head jobs uh jim mackawyn did that a long time ago went to colorota state jeremy peruit curbie smart and they've all finished the deal the only guy that didn't was lame and if you go back think about it they played washington they didn't look really good they didn't look like they were locked

in he was saying some things publicly about you know the the job at fau and so it was not a mutual understanding from my from why i i viewed it i think nick is a coach sabin just kind of said hey look why don't you go ahead and go go start your job and we'll try to win this championship and and i think it had everything to do with focus and uh bark it's no issue at all man this dude is a locked in and he's got one of the great jobs in the country waiting on him but i'm telling you until they shower that night january 11th and and he wakes up january 12th he's right now alabama's office coordinator and and i think coach feels that there's no division within his thoughts he's not already putting his staff together thinking about what he's going to do it's 100 focus on

game planning for ohio state and so i think coach perspective sat wants him to be able to finish the season so i think i think the only outlier really was was laying yeah so all right this game on monday night uh everyone's expecting uh a shootout alabama's offense has been out of this world they may even add jail and waddleback justin feels is incredible against clumsin how many stops does uh the winning defense need to make to win this game what would that be a bet you know if that would be a bet we can make i know but i i've been saying like i think it's only like three i think if the if a defense makes three stops are you counting fuel goals and stops no no it's got to be a punter or turnover three stops i think wins this game yeah wow that would be

that would that would play to what ohio state would want right if it if it goes that way because this game on paper as we prepare for it you're dead on i mean have you watched we thought lsu's offense was one of the best offenses we've ever seen and then this kid mac jones you know to uh jail and hurts all these they they were already talking about the next quarterback you know they weren't even thinking of mac jones and here he is doing what he's doing and you're right if waddle comes back people forget waddle javante smith was a second option yeah in jail and with healthy and we see what he's done so ohio state's got a hope for turnovers um we don't know you know this covid story that you guys heard about probably on monday or tuesday you know we

don't know what players are impacted by that if they will have some guys out because their defense of line that's the rumors their defense of line may have some people out with covid if that's an issue that's the strength of their defense yeah that's the one area that they dominated climson was the defense of line and who's out you know so so i i think three stops um i would say three or four stops would would would be a game that would be in the high 30s low 40s for both you know i i i think if that happens that would be a good thing for ohio state because i think that would mean they're scoring with bamma which i think of ohio state wins that's what they're gonna have to do they're gonna have to try to score with bamma nobody has stopped this team

but people have scored on them i mean ol miss you're talking about lane kiffin ol miss scored on them florida scored on them in the sec championship so that's the game that ohio state's gonna have to play then we got justin fields before he got hit by scowsky he was a a factor running the ball after that hit i mean you guys saw he would scramble and just kind of duck down and just just just basically give up um how much further along is the hip pointer and is it going to be a factor in this game because if he's hurt or if that injury is nagging and he can't run that's a big problem for ryan day they need him running uh and being that same athletic guy that he was most of the year so is it more about the hip or the ribs because it looked like there were

some rib issues as well i totally agree i mean when you looked at the video uh that helmet came down right at the ribs right i don't have any idea but they're calling it a hip pointer so it's it's down lower and he's he'll have some padding and and he's gonna wear something that he's not real excited about uh in the game because he doesn't like to have to do that but your your pain tolerance and i don't know if he can i don't i don't want to get involved and speculating if he's gonna get an injection or not i don't know if he can if he can i would recommend doing it if it's just about dealing with pain especially in a hip pointer area uh because like i said if if he's a six out of ten when it comes to running and being a threat uh then it's all on tracerm in

the run and it's all on the passing game and against bam you go back over the years whether it's been johnny menzel or ol miss had some guys you know that they gave them trouble it's always a running quarterback that gives alabama nicks haven fits yeah it's a tempo it's a tempo offense and it's a quarterback who's a dual guy that can create and do some things with his legs and that's just in fields and that's ryan day but if you take away that aspect of the offense and again i don't know if it will be taken away but if you if he can't be effective running then Ohio state i think would have a hard time uh staying up with alabama's offense have you had the moment where you've just taken a step back and been like i can't like it's crazy how different this sport is

than it was even 10 years ago like you called the 21 nothing alabama lsu national title and now we're sitting here being like this game's gonna be in the 70s easy you know what i mean like have you had that moment where you're like this is a totally different game yeah yeah yeah i think i think when you especially when you grow up in the big 10 you know you know wisconsin ohio state it's you know 17 13 kind of games that's what we grew up and now it's it's about scoring it's about quarterbacks that can run and can throw uh it's freshman quarterbacks coming in ready to play it's about receivers that get downfield and can win one-on-one it's just the game's just changed you know and who knows it's cyclical maybe it'll change you know again and come around but i don't

i don't see it i mean we've been really in this cycle for about seven years now where where it's like which quarterbacks gonna have the ball last is gonna win um but you're right you do need to kind of step back and realize even in the patent manning era it wasn't like this right it's it's it's the up tempo you know the richrod chip kelly uh randy walker at north western joe tiller at Purdue they they all helped kind of change the game though you those offenses used to be offenses that were like they'll never work in the big 10 they'll never work in the sec now that's all you see all over the country or teams that are running this style of offense yeah it's not going to change either i mean the only thing that's going to affect it would be a rule change on defense to

to kind of give some of the defensive backs a little bit more help or enact holding penalties a little bit more on offense there's going to have to be some sort of like difference that comes down from officiating otherwise i mean we're not going to go back to the era of uh of slugfest you know maybe some big ten no one teams that do that are wisconsin um stanford when they were good noterdame was is kind of doing that even though with the quarterback that they had they were still able to be a little bit more tempo but the the equalizer now is to run i formation because defenses never see it so if you want to be a guy to change and be different be a ball possession i formation run downhill pound these defenses that are running 3 3 5 they're built for spread

they're built for space so like wisconsin when they're good they're beating people up at the line of scrimmage and these defense alignment and linebackers they're just not used to playing it so it's still there it's just obviously not there like it used to be i mean wisconsin ran in the mayo bowl with three full backs on the field at the same time i love that personally like watching watching wisconsin play against like uh stanford and the entire field is just full backs to me that's like that's a lot more explain to me yeah no it's the best what's big ten weather in your mind overcast yep natural surface 52 degrees oh that's a little balmy that's a little warm there kirk oh you want to you want to get into the high 30s no i'd say like 45 45 maybe it rained

in the morning now it's yeah but i don't want i don't want any sun though it has to be overcast correct has to be overcast yeah that's big ten weather natural surface grass yeah grass yep i there's nothing better there's a yeah the overcast like as gray as you can get actually i actually like the big ten weather when it's when you can tell the sun is out there and it's trying to get through and it can't but it's still like it's bright but it's dark i don't know that doesn't really make sense but it makes sense it's the dome factor yeah the dome that's there from like halloween to like april first i mean it's just like this big yeah that's big is is you growing up in the big ten and being around the big ten all the time a significant

contribution to the fact that everybody always thinks that your sunburn so like you i don't know this but on twitter if you do a search of kirk herb street sunburn there's like thousands of replies and i really i i think it's because you are from the big ten and you're not used to having a sun come out so if you go like watch a football practice outside you don't think to bring sunscreen whereas if you know from the southeast sunscreen that's that's a required element if you're going to watch football well i'm going to blame my mom who's got some indian in her background so what happens to my skin if i get in the sun i get red and then i get kind of brown i get kind of my dad gets my dad he's passed away he's red or white so i guess it's i guess it's what i inherited

but i if i get in the sun you're gonna definitely see uh i don't i don't burn a lot of my friends will burn i don't sunburn but i get i get a reddish and then if i if i if i'm on air especially when i was younger if i ever got embarrassed or i got uncomfortable i'm more like i gave a speech one time in ninth grade i'll give you a quick story i gave a speech in ninth grade i was a super shy kid and the the prettiest girl in the ninth grade class was in the first row and i gave a speech and i i started to get embarrassed and i turned super red when i was given and she points up at me and said oh my god look how red he is at my face and i was humiliated to the point my senior year it was time to give another speech teacher called on me to give my speech

i said no i'm good she goes what do you mean you're good she goes to your turn i go i'm not going and she goes this is you're gonna get a zero and i said that's okay i'll take the zero and she goes this is like 25 percent of your final grade i said whatever i'm good i so i've scarred for my life to give in fact to this day i can talk and on tv in front of millions of people but if i have to get up in front of 65 people and give a speech it's not my it's just not my calling and it all goes back to ninth grade so i appreciate you bringing that up man no problem yeah i had a similar experience but mine was more about wearing sweatpants at the time yeah um i read somewhere that you you don't drink coffee no i just never did i never really got into it that's that's crazy

that's crazy i'm not like i'm not like making a taking a stance against coffee i just i never really liked it just i never got into it you just so the uh the the line was he doesn't have coffee instead he relies on the power of adrenaline what i do have that i i i do have adrenaline when it comes to to college football i'm lucky enough to do something i actually love um but yeah i just never i'll try it i i just never i guess when i go to starbucks i i don't even know how to order i don't even know like i hear people order i don't even know what they're saying yeah um so i've just i don't like black coffee so no i've never uh i like i like sparkling water yeah i don't understand people who i mean i i guess it's intimidating going to starbucks if you don't

speak italian for the first time yeah i don't even know what to say i don't even know what to know what to order how do you get yourself pumped up in the morning do you have like a ritual do you like stare at yourself in the mirror and yell at yourself slap yourself on the chest when that's all you know and i just wake up drink a water drink a juice and roll i you guys are you guys a big coffee drink yes i mean just caffeine and yes i'm dead inside until i have coffee like adrenaline like i don't have adrenaline left i drink a course like normally to start my day there you go actually a great way to do it yes um you've been around nick sabin a lot coach coach excuse me excuse me coach leap that out hank um you've been around coach sabin a lot do you think he ever has

fun um fun would be a relative term right because i feel like if nick sabin catches himself having fun that's not actually fun for him he's like i've let my guard no no no no like fun for him because i i know like it's like bill belichick like they both like to have fun but they just don't like to have fun when they're coaching or when they're at a press conference and what are the only two ways we typically see bill belichick and nick sabin they're they're coaching or they're at a press conference those are not they're two places to have fun i've been with bill belichick when he's having fun he's a great guy and i've been with nick sabin when now nick sabin fun to him is um fishing or golfing something like that he can have fun but he definitely both those guys give off a

a vibe that they're they're anti-fun but uh they're they're they would surprise you i can promise you yeah i just i feel like when nick sabin's having fun he's just you know kind of neutral and he doesn't like that you know he i feel like for him fun is actually being you know passionate which translates to him being upset about something or trying to fix something or trying to no no here's what it is for him is it if he knows that he's currently making something better if he's improving something that's fun even if he's mad while he's doing it yeah how about what he when he holds the trophy after he wins the the title you know it lasts for about uh 12 seconds yeah you know and then he hands it to the players and then he's he's off you know

it feels like he's off to go study film yeah i gotta go recruit this yeah this trophy presentations a waste of my time he's like that was a good 10 he did that in the semifinal he we got the trophy and he just turned it was like here you take it like other things to do yeah yeah i don't have any time for this yeah yeah totally um all right kirk last question for me uh thank you very much for joining us been like i said uh long overdue now you have to come on whenever we ask just so you know yeah anytime yeah you have to but uh if you if you had to pick a game monday night if you had to pick a team monday night who would you pick um man i kirk just wrote on a piece on a napkin he's taking bamma and then he flashed it in front

of us whoa that's crazy let me let me ask you are you guys is everybody taking alabama no i'm taking alabama state i'm taking alabama state plus nine yo you're taking alabama oh plus nine you're not taking him straight up i might take him straight up as well i really i there's something about like trace serman what he's done i mean he really doesn't i know it's it's silly to just say he's a zico alia 2.0 but what he has done the last two games is the zico alia like that ohio state championship run if they get him going again like why not why not the fact that you reminded me of that of the narrative that i had forgotten about hand up that nix saven struggles against mobile quarterbacks we talk about that every year as being like the one thing that you can

always say to sound smart about like going up against the johnny mincella swag kelly yeah exactly need swag kelly if you get chag kelly under center then you're good um but you reminded me of that so now i'm thinking that i might take ohio state too but i'm i'm going one day at a time i've got nfl playoffs to worry about tomorrow night so yeah give me your give me your nfl who's who's the who's the biggest surprise in the nfl saturday sunday uh uh the washington football team in the chicago bears are going to make it respectable and both be within 13 browns browns the browns the browns yeah the browns could win i think they're the team that everyone's written off this weekend the bears in the washington football team are just we're here to hang out are the browns today

i their head coaches out is there anybody else out for them with covid issues yeah i think they've got another coach out but i i think that the browns are going to win too i really do i think that like the steelers have proven to be kind of a fraud team the second half the season even when they're good they're only good digging themselves out a hole that they created for themselves so i feel like the browns this could be the year for them and if i were them i would a hundred percent who who who are the two teams in the super bowl i think it's going to be the bills and the saints bills bills and saints are bills and packers yeah i'll go cheese bills so the bills are

yeah they're legit chiefs box the bills are fun team to watch but they don't they have to go to kansas city not the crowds are a huge thing but you got kansas kansas city does have the biggest home field advantage this year because i think they're having like 15 000 fans that are allowed in the state yeah there are some people there hey bills bills kc would be a hyped a fc championship that would be a great one i hope we end up getting that yeah that would actually be a lot like ohio state alabama the overrunner on that game would probably be around 75 yeah probably not 75 but um yeah that's what i'm rooting for um well curfew definitely a shootout thank you so much man we really appreciate it we're going to set up a time where you and bear come and watch uh some

nfl with us and thanks of course let's do it hooking this up and good luck on monday night on the call um and you so you're putting you down bamma you're picking bamma i didn't say that i didn't say you didn't say it no i i i'm i'm keeping it keeping it clean keeping it straight i'm gonna i'm gonna sell that as you said i'm gonna put that out there maybe later but not right now perfect write it on your feet and put it on only fans yeah you'll get millions of dollars perfect um it's perfect all right thanks thanks for having me and and uh let's do it again and bear and i are definitely gonna come anytime you guys will let us come hang out we'd love to come watch the games with you guys all right thanks so much kirk be well man okay all right see you guys
