This is Christine Brown and while I have to listen to this podcast, as my motherly duty, you have the choice not to. My sons sometimes say some naughty things when they're trying to be funny. But really, they're just being stupid. You still want to listen? Go right ahead. I am not your mother. Welcome back to the Patriots Dynasty podcast. We are here, 2003, week 14, closing on the end of the regular season. And we haven't seen a loss in a long time, boys. That's right. It's been kind of nice. How many in a row is this?

This is, they come into this game with eight consecutive wins. Last time we saw a loss was week four in Washington to the one third of the way through, right? Is 23? I believe it's 21 or 23. I can't remember. We're cruising through, yeah. But this is yet another game that our listeners will remember at least one play from. And maybe only one play. I only remembered the one play, but we'll get to that. Yeah, I agree. We have the Miami Dolphins visiting Gillette Stadium and also Mother Nature visiting Gillette

Stadium because the commentators in this game could not get over the fact that New England had received 28 inches of snow. It was a very good dump. But this, I think, is an all time crowd shot game. Oh, yeah, that's why it's a people literally just dug themselves. It like that you couldn't see the seats. So they just like dug a seat in the two feet of snow and just sat on that. And it was fucking amazing.

Just like watching the people try to get to their seats and just like sliding down all the snow banks and stuff, just trying to like find somewhere to plop themselves. We always wondered that about big snow storms. How do you it's got to be a logistical nightmare to shovel those with the seats and everything. Well, I think what happened is it dumped the snow right before during the day, right, because they were saying like, we didn't even get that much in Boston. We got like a foot and then we get there and it's two feet. So it snowed a shitload more south.

Yeah. Imagine route one during all that shit, too. Oh, I feel like I've heard stories of people who went to this game. And they said, you know, normally getting home takes two hours. This one, it took like four and a half just because of the parking lot. But didn't snow during the game as much, though. No, there wasn't. There wasn't a lot of snow happening during like it was happening at the beginning of the game, but it tapered off pretty quick. Which honestly, like right after the storm can actually be kind of nice.

Oh, yeah. It's always so quiet. Yeah. I love the way that the snow is like muffles all the sounds. Beautiful. Let's see. What was the weather? They showed the weather at the beginning. It was 28 degrees. Wind chill was 17 winds of 15 to 30 miles an hour. Yeah. And this game was long as shit. It was two hours on that YouTube.

Let's give it a let's give it a Lombardi watchability score. Oh, all right. Well, first of all, I want to know, Greg, did you watch the entire game or do you do highlights? Highlights. All right. Yeah. I don't believe it. I mean, it's final scores, 12 to nothing. Yeah, I'll watch the few plays that probably are good to watch. But I don't mean to see the rest.

I like a defensive battle. Even having said this, I think you could skip. First three quarters, first half. You know what I wish I could do? Just skip all the offensive plays and just watch the defense snap to snap to snap. Because like when the past is on, it was pretty impressive. Yes. Yeah. This was I actually wrote down that this was. The.

I've never seen a Patriots defense as amped up as in this game. And it's sort of every tackle was like an absolute monster hit. And then as soon as the guy, the tackler got up, he like everybody was jumping on like slapping his helmet and just like everybody was just amped to the nines. It was ridiculous. It seemed like they're coming off the Colts game there. That's true. And also this research, they win this game.

They clinched the East as well. So it's a hat and T shirt game. But the defense is so like dominant too, though, like this game, the Dallas game, the even like the indie game, they held Peyton Manning really good. So like they're playing out of their minds. It looks similar to the Patriots defense last year, 19 at the first half of the season. For they were just they couldn't do shit against them.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is their second shutout of the year. Is that right? They had the stat in this game. They crossed 50 possessions with no TDs at home. Yes, possessions are given up a touchdown at home. Yeah. Well, they showed it was 48 when Miami lined up at their own four yard line.

Right before the infamous play. But let's see, they've had. Two shutouts so far. This one and then the Cowboys both felt nothing strangely enough. I think there might be another one at the end of the season. Yeah, they held the Giants. They held the Giants to six points and they held the Browns to three points. Which feels like ages ago.

So one, two, three, four, five games. They've given up a total of nine points. That's bananas. And these are all against like good teams, too. They showed a stat about. They take a screenshot of that one. There's something about like the Patriots versus teams with. Oh, yeah. Patriots versus teams with winning records this year.

Six and oh. They beat Philadelphia 31 10. Beat Tennessee. That was a good game, the 38 31. Yeah, Miami and overtime. So actually now there's seven. No, because they beat Miami again. Beat Denver beat Dallas beat Indy.

Well, the Denver games, the intentional safety game, too. Right. Yeah. The Indy game is the fourth down stop. Yeah. Tennessee game. They won 38 30. That was with the wasn't that tie law at the end to seal it. Yeah. Where he limped his way in the end zone after after picking it off.

It was a dolphins game. The overtime bomb, Detroit Brown. Yep. So none of these are the only blowout really was Philadelphia 31 10 coming off of the 31 nothing. Drubbing week one. Yes. Yeah. So so. But there Brady's been playing his best against these winning teams as well. Averse those six teams.

He's averaging 259 yards per game. He's thrown 11 touchdowns, only three interceptions, which is pretty good because he's actually thrown a handful of interceptions this season, like double digits, but only three against the good teams. His pass ratings 95 and a half. So that's pretty good. Dolphins on the other hand, not so good. At least not in the weather.

There was a whole bunch of thing about Miami teams playing in the weather. And I think those are my favorite games when Miami comes to New England in December. Because they're always just woefully unprepared for some. Yeah. Everybody looked cold, except for Junior Seau. Yes. He did not look cold at all. But no, he was loving it. Dolphins look freezing. But in the globe, I think it was the day before the game. They had a little chart of all the games.

Of the dolphins having played in Foxborough 10 times after December 1st. And of those 10 games, they've won only three of them. So not not great. And also. Miami since 97, playing games under 50 degrees, which apparently is cold for Miami team. They are three in 10. Lost five straight and their turnover difference negative 21.

That's tough. And 13 games. Butterfingers in the cold. That's a lie. Yeah, they just. Well, it's probably has something to do with the under inflated footballs in New England. Yeah, you know. Yeah. Yeah. They do save those for the cold games. You know, that's true. You don't want that competitive advantage edge until it really counts.

Right. Just like me, saving my my under inflated tires this morning for the winter. Yeah, this is appropriate for the current climate these days. Yes, it's very true. Shout out, Texas. Yeah, Texas is getting more snow than us up here in New England right now. Yeah, it feels very apropos, isn't it? There's a lot of internet chatter about people being better

or worse than other people because of their tolerance for difficult weather, which which there's nothing better, you know. Oh, yeah. One of my favorite internet. I mean, that's fine. Yeah. Arrogance over tolerance of weather is the best. I mean, I do that with you guys now because you've both grown soft having moved to the south.

Oh, my God, it's it's 30 degrees. Let's let's let's batten the hatches. It's all relative, Andy. T-shirt weather, baby. Mm hmm. It's all weather, but that's not going to stop me from giving you shit about it. Right. Yeah, but, you know, only fair. It makes you a bitch. Well, the warm weather has made you a big thing is what you meant to say, dude.

Cold rain is nothing worse. No, cold rain is the worst. Yeah, but it's got to be like just above freezing, like 35. I feel like the dolphins think that snow is the worst, though, because they did not like this game. They did not. Actually, I wanted to bring up the the drive chart in this game. Oh, we didn't actually give it a little bit of a dilly. Yeah.

You know, I'd probably give it a higher than you would think. So you go first. Uh, I would give it a three and a half. You can probably convince me to give it a four just because of the the memorable play. And the and the snow and I was going two and a half. Greg, I was going to lose in the bar in a 12 month in game. Yeah. Yeah, it was not super. I like I like defensive shutouts like this.

I know this is my jam. So their offense looks so trash. Yeah, so sad watching Antoine Smith just not. That was a game plan, though. Run his ass up the middle until he fucking makes in ugly games, but that doesn't mean it's not ugly. You know, 27 for 60 yards. He averaged 2.2 yards a carry.

And yeah, Ricky Williams to the key points. But yeah, Ricky didn't do much better, but he did do better. Miami had 134 total yards of offense in this game. Yeah, like I said, just give me the pages defensive plays. I love it because they were dominating. That's what I mean. Yeah. So so just yeah, just fast forward through the page. As soon as you get the ball, just fast forward through that shit

and then wait till the defense comes on because here are. I'm going to just get a real quick, give you the drive chart of the dolphins on the day. They give you the yards that they gained and then the end result. So five yards punt, five yards punt, six yards punt, 30 yards punt, minus three yards punt, two yards punt, 25 yards punt, minus one yards punt. And then we're in the third quarter, by the way. So this is one of their third drive, the third quarter.

They actually got moving 41 yards and then they fumbled it. And then minus one yard punt, seven yard punt, zero yards, interception, return for touchdown, nine yards punt, zero yards, interception, minus one yard safety to end it. That's a good cherry on the. Yeah. On the shit sandwich closer and closer and closer and closer. You just like the entire miss interceptions.

Oh, yeah, like Ty Law himself had, I think, three dropped interceptions before he finally got one at the end. Yeah. And you should do a super cut of all of the missed interceptions leading up to that, that Teddy one, because everyone remembers it for that one Teddy interception, but this could have been an absolute blow. Willie McGinnis almost had a diving interception. Well, I think it was supposed to be a screenplay.

Like there was a little outcrop of the tight end, I think it kind of ran in the flat and he's in play. And that was the fourth miss, I put a note, fourth near int by Willie. Yep. Feeder three for three, an int on nearly every drive. So this is like the fourth dolphins drive and he almost was a pick on all of them. Yeah.

And I think a science, they say it will took one between the, what number was he? I don't even remember. He was two. Yeah. He took, he took a football between the twos that you couldn't catch. There was one that hit a defender in the hands, bounced up in the air and the dolphins guy caught it for like a 34 yard game. I love those.

That yeah, that was the 30 yards of their 41 yard drive. That was the only drive they had and it was because of that. Yeah. And I think that's one of the like the only times they moved the ball and we even had a pick at that point. So like he had so many chances and they finally fucking somebody catches one of these and it's their player. Yeah.

But they're still hanging in there, still hanging in there. But yeah, this it was basically nothing until that third quarter. Pages and put up a field goal. Well, Matt Turk. Lot of Matt Turk. Also, also like Matt Jerk, a lot of Brooks Bernard, Barnard, Barnard, Bernard, the barnyard animal, the barnyard. Yeah, a street free agent up until this week.

But they got so sick of Ken Walter, like, you know what, fuck it, cutting them. We're going to find a guy off the street because you can't be doing any worse. And he didn't. But this guy's first fucking game comes in and only has to punt 10 times in a snowstorm. No, yeah, with a crazy wind. Yeah, my game ball goes to this guy. He played out of his mind.

Not every part was great. But no, but his first point when he had his first point, it was like a mediocre punt, but he got a standing. Oh, when he did it because he wasn't Ken Walter. Dude, this is his only game ever career. Career. Yeah. Oh, shit. So next week, I don't know.

What happens to Brooks because we'll find out. Yeah, it was all right. Yeah, I looked him up on on LinkedIn. He was involved in LinkedIn. Yeah, he's a VP at Dallas. He's like he used to work at Under Armour doing sports marketing. And did you connect with him? Well, I'm going to once we release this, I'm going to send it to him on LinkedIn.

Like, hey, buddy, we talked about you. More appropriate. Are you going to you're going to do that from Kelly's account? Because I think that's what we do on this podcast. I should go to Kelly's. Barnard, the Barnard dog. Yeah, that's great. He's making these up or is that his.

So his first one, he got a standing Oh, and the second punt bounced the end zone and he immediately got booed. And he fucking tough crowd. But he also made that Teddy and I and T on some level because he punted and got him out of the five yard line. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But some of the ripples of Ken Walter being gone is that Damon Hewitt's now holding for field goals.

So that it didn't look great. Adams only he kicked one field goal, but it went over the goalpost. I've never seen something so close, by the way. That went directly over the goalpost. Yeah, which technically apparently is good. As long as the ball stays inside the outside of the goal. Like, oh, good luck. Tell me how do you not have goal line technology for that?

I mean, it's I mean, 2003. You don't know why. Oh, yeah. I mean, like now they could barely get the yellow. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now it just seems like there's a fucking lasers up. If it seems like some of all those problems are really easy to solve. Yeah, like the, you know, QB sneaks at the one or the close to first down. Like they have it in soccer and tennis.

Yeah, we have technology to do it. You know, where's the bar? But I mean, also how long to take them to put cameras on the the pylons that Belichick wanted? They finally got that this year. This smells like a conspiracy. It is. I agree, Greg. It's because Tom Brady is so good at QB sneaks.

Like, you know what? No, we don't want to give him that advantage because he will know and he will practice. And so we don't we don't need that. Either that or it'll cost the owners like an extra 10 K a year to do it. And they're like, no, no, no, not doing it. That's actually if the players want to pay for it, that's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll bring it up the next collective bargaining. Exactly.

Oh, man. Yes. So if we can, if anybody out here, anybody who was in those Brooks Bernard or reach out to my LinkedIn, dude. All right. But yeah, if anybody can get us a hookup, well, we'll have them on and we'll we'll talk to football. Because I mean, how cool is it to be like a street free agent and come in and like be the punter for this game? And that's like, that's it.

That's it. Like, I would pay money for that. Like, I'm not going to say I can outpunt Brooks Barnard, but I could probably outpunt Ken Walter. I'm not a good punter. No, no. You're not any type of. And Walter was punting at 20 yards. You've never punted at any. Shape. Well, yeah, that's a hard note.

But how can it be? Well, yeah, well, we'll ask we'll ask Brooks when he comes on. OK, yeah, we'll ask him. We'll get an expert on. You'll settle this. Yeah, exactly. Also on that, that kind of punt field goal team, something that will come up later, Lonnie Paxton gets hurt in this game. Yes, I've been sort of keeping my eye on this all year.

Because I can't I still can't find that story about the duty gets put in service here. I found it. You dead. Yeah, I'm just keeping on the back burner until it comes up. Bring that up in the Super Bowl, because I remember that's where it all came to the head. But this is where he gets injured and he's out for the rest of the year. And he gets injured after Brooks Barnard.

Pretty decent pun to their forty four. He commits a holding penalty like pretty clear and gets injured on the play. And then wrote us a punt again from the back of his own end zone. And it's a 20 yard swing. You know, Brooks, that should be better. I agree. I agree. But this is also I don't know if you call this the reason that Tom Brady has a punt. His first punt, he has multiple.

Did he have a very punted? He did. He punted in the fourth quarter. It actually set up the the safety because he punted down to the one yard line down by much maligned Daniel Graham, who I think dropped another three or four passes in this game. Yeah, bad hands. Yeah, like on screens, like just hitting them right in the hand and just skipping right out.

I thought it was Givens. No, the. And now just said it was Graham, but it may have been Givens. I think it was given because he was a wider seeker and he was one. Yeah. Yeah. But great, great punt team. I think you're a pretty good punt. Yeah, I snagged out of it to you, Greg. Come on. You did, Greg. Yeah.

I'll watch it now. Yeah, send to a bunch of people. But speaking of injuries, no Troy Brown in this. He was inactive again. So Kevin Falk was playing the Troy Brown role, I think, of just kind of being that smartest guy in the field sort of thing. No, early, early dynasty MVP. Kevin Falk. All right, all right.

Let's let's actually dig in this because I get why you're saying this. But I have a counterpoint, not that I don't like Kevin Falk or maybe even disagree with your stance. Would you would you like me to present my argument and you can counter it? I already know your argument. You've been talking about it for weeks. No, but in this in this one, like he is doing the Troy Brown stuff. Like he didn't put up big numbers.

He has a fumble, too. Because he got knocked the fuck out on a dirty hit. But yeah, that's what he got. Which actually, OK, that's that's a good little segway. Oh, member us. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's that time of the podcast where I'm going to start talking about the. The announcers. The announcers. Yes.

Yeah, they were they were good. They were OK, except for this. Falk is up and off the field. The good news is he's up and off the bad news is Kevin Falk thinks he's martial Falk is up. That's awesome. That is awesome. Yeah, come on in. In 2003. Yeah, that's good. Conventating. Yeah, I don't think so.

I don't think that's why it is fun. Oh, why? Because it's problematic, bro. Because he got knocked the fuck out. So I think it's funny. I don't know. That's rough. We didn't even know what CTE was. Dude, he was he was lying on the field stiff as a boy with his arms like stuck out like this happens all the time.

It was a bad one. You got his bell wrong. Well, according to the boss in Globe, the injury report Patriots running back, Kevin Falk, when knocked out, did not return when knocked out of what is fucking no cranium front frontal lobe. Yeah. But like it was a bad.

Those were the highlights on the sports center. Those big hits like that, though, you know, true. But is it different? Just the fact that he was like he was laying there with his arms like stuck in that position, actively funny because they're cousins and they have the same last name. Yeah. And Marshall Paul's big name at the time, too. He's not like thrown back to Marshall Falk.

Don't talk about my Kevin Falk like that. All right. So here's my counterpoint. Don't get me wrong. I love Kevin Falk. But he never has like big plays. He's very dependable in, you know, short term and like less than 15 year plays, couple screens that go along, but never has any like big play. Never rips off long runs. He never like, you know, catches a wheel around, takes the house counter to your

counterpoint, neither does Julian Edelman. No, Julian Edelman has big plays. Julian Edelman is the engine that keeps drives going. He doesn't have big plays. He had the biggest play for the Patriots this year. Which one? The one against Seattle. Remember that one? That crazy catch.

That was a Patriots longest play from scrimmage all year. Jesus. But I don't think that's a good thing. That's like, say, Kevin Falk is your leading rusher on the year. Like that's not what you want, you know? That's a fair point. Yeah. But I think Kevin Falk is, I mean, there's always that one guy

versus Troy Brown, then it's Kevin Falk. And then I'd say you could probably throw James White in that. Maybe even a Dionne Lewis back in the day. But there's always that one guy when you need that that conversion or you just need a couple of yards like the drives have been stalling and you're not getting anywhere. The one guy that's going to jump start things and always be dependable. And he'll get you the first down.

He's not going to be flashy about it. That's the Dionne branch of the world of the the rainy mosses. But to get that first down or even Wes Walker, same idea. Those guys that just kind of keep things moving. Yeah, drives alive so that Brady can then go take shots at. So WD 40. I love it. I'm not disagreeing, but I'm off.

WD 33. WD 33. We just made up a sick nickname after a player has retired. Yeah. Damn, it stood. Not fucking. We're making two shirts. We died like 10 years ago, did WD 33. That's sick. That's sick. All right.

We'll save that for the next player who fits that role. Maybe there'll be a Gunnar Olszewski or someone, you know. Yeah. But yeah, so Troy, Kevin Falk in his game, he. He was returning punts sometimes. It was him and Tyrone pool. And I think he was like the hands guy and Tyrone pool was like supposed to be the returner guy.

So one punt that was about to go in the end zone. Kevin Falk came over and like pretended to block the gunner. So the gunner paid attention to him. So the ball could roll into the end zone. Great heads up play. And then he also recovered Tyrone. You get to be an answers credit for calling that out. Yeah, most of the answers in this side.

And you come on, that's right there. Yeah. But then they also fucking make that joke that was made in the wasn't that a Snickers commercial? The guy gets a concussion. It's a football player. It's like, why are you shitting on them for not for like, it's on commercials. Of course, they're going to make the jokes.

Then Andy, why is that a bad thing? It's a bad thing now. OK, but we're going to judge her now. Reg has set off sorts of bad things in this podcast. We're going to judge him now for it. Yeah, he's not famous enough for that. You know, and I did it knowingly. That's the difference.

Uh, yeah, at the end of this game, Dietrich Ward was returning puns, which that's tough. Dietrich Dietrich Ward. Well, Kevin also really neat pick up. It's neat. He was just so neat. We could get that guy. Yeah, even JJ Stokes, I'm forever going to associate Dietrich Ward

with the word neat from here on out, because of my exposure, is going to be like these three games he's involved in that one quote. I mean, it's all the games he's really involved in, too. Yeah, I don't think he plays much more. It's incredible, man. The fact that these people are trying now, Dietrich Ward and JJ Stokes committing a million penalties. Yeah, and still making Super Bowl.

Yeah, like this this offense was not great. And oh, yeah, and Antoine Smith is back there as your lead back. Yeah, nothing in the tank who was apparently last week was an actor for the game. Well, that's because you're on the turf. Right. Yeah, yeah. But you go from an actor to be in the starter. Like that's typical Patriot shit, isn't it? Getting 30 carries.

And you look at the offense, you'd be like, hey, if we just have like a Corey Dillon type back in there, we'd be so good. It's true. It's so true because like the one thing they're missing is like an awesome one game because there's a bunch of highlights from Clinton, Portis. Oh, this. Yeah. So the game break for this was going back to the Broncos chiefs game because chiefs are in first place or a game ahead of the Patriots,

but they're playing a division game against the Broncos and it's Priest Holmes versus. What's his face? Clinton, Portis. He was in the Denver game we played earlier this year. Yeah. So they start off the game trading touchdowns, so they both had two touchdowns each,

but Clinton, Portis ended up winning this battle of the running backs for going 22 for 22 carries, 218 yards, five touchdowns to beat the the chiefs, which put New England in first place in the AFC. Both touchdowns were so sick, too. Why didn't he put just open field move on the safety? Awesome. That was the sickest one. One, he just like accelerated the goal to the pylon. No one could touch him.

And the other one was just flat out speed. Like, yeah, like all his touchdowns were from like 30, 40 yards out. It didn't really happen. Short ones, I don't think. It was so sweet. I don't know. Yeah. Was it sunny there? Yeah. Yeah. I love a game break that has a different like.

Yes. Weather. Yeah. You know, like, or even like a different time of day. Like if you watch it and it's like getting towards like the like the night time games in New England, then they cut to like a San Diego game or something or San Francisco. It's like, oh, look, it's noon. Yeah. And it cuts back and like everyone's just wearing slop because the field into that sucks at this point.

Which did you catch this? The field is heated. Yeah, I didn't see it. Yeah. The field, they heated to 55 degrees like you would a pool. Yeah. That's fucking. I want a heated fucking field in my yard. It didn't work. That's amazing. Can I heat my driveway? Yes.

Yes, I can. Fuck, I bet that's expensive. Heat your floor of your bathroom, too. That's pretty common. Yeah, I was going to Kelly's dad did the whole house. There you go. The whole house has heated floors. Yeah, the whole entire thing.

It's ridiculous. That's a lot. Yeah, they just ran like runs like this small tubing. Yeah. In these grooves. And it's just the entire floor. They were up there in like the middle of December, putting it in. Holy shit. It's like this brittle tubing.

Yeah, yeah. Yes, great to put it. He's like, yeah, Laurie was like getting blisters on her hands. And he's just like, Mosh, Mosh, it digs her fingers in these grooves. It's like, God damn, Mr. Mooney. Oh, boy.

Speaking of whipping, dolphins got whipped. Yeah. So I wrote down like that one. And I wrote down that the only player who was staying warm today was Jay Fiedler because the defense was bringing the heat on him the entire fucking game. But he was also four for 10 for 15 yards in the first half. He just couldn't throw the ball into the wind at all.

And they knew it and they were breaking on every single slant. Or they were just nobody was open. They feel they're not known for his arm strength. Yeah, no, it was bad. Yeah, the whole thing was bad. But last week, they apparently like they came in on high because last week they the dolphins beat the shit out of the cowboys. Yeah, 41 to something.

Well, they said they had five turnovers, five sacks. Like I think it was a defensive thing. So it's I think these AFC East teams are all defense heavy game manager offenses. You know, it's back when they were all good to these games or big games. Yeah, because I mean, the bills, same sort of thing. They had that that defense that we saw a week one that absolutely smoked the Patriots. The Jets always have good defenses.

I feel like that all falls apart for all three of them after the season. Pretty good. I think the dolphins may have one. They'll start falling off pretty soon for all. Yeah, it's been falling off Ricky Williams. We've talked about this because of he did his own contract. And he I think he had the most rushing yards. He led the league last year with like 17 hundreds on like that.

He's already over a thousand yards this season, but they're all like he's fallen off. OK, you look fine. They just had three consecutive hundred yards games coming into this. And they get broken here. But like I think the reason they were saying he had fallen off was because. He went from averaging something like I think they may have shown it. Let me see if I took a screenshot. It's because he likes smoking weed.

They're trying to black bomb. I think spiracy again. But I think I didn't. But it was something like he was averaging last season. He averaged like five point seven yards of carry on the season. And this year he's averaging like under four, like three and a half. So it's taking a whole lot more. Part Dave wants us fall.

There's like a third in three and they they pass a feeler into the wind. And it's like, you can't throw it more than three yards. Why are you not running him? Even the commentators are calling him out. Which if you remember the end of the season last season. He was backed up and he was winning. And he had already rushed for one hundred and seventy something yards and Ricky Williams decided to throw it three times on his own fucking end zone.

Yes. Well, the Patriots get to overtime. Yeah. So not really known for his. More known for his mustache and his play calling. Yeah, I would say so. So that's not great, but, you know, who was great in this game. Teddy Bruce, he I was going to say Rodney Harrison. Oh, yeah.

Teddy Bruce, he Teddy Bruce, he had a great play. Yeah, I would say Harrison and Vrabel were the top two. Vrabel apparently had the flu all week, hadn't practiced, came to this game and absolutely was just like the most disruptive force on that defensive line. This is his best game of his career, I would think, to this point, to this point. Probably the first time you see him and like that's a rabble, you know. Yeah, the games you watched him and he hadn't been nearly as good as you remember.

You know, he's going to get there, obviously. But this is the first game where he just looks like a real problem for the tackles. Yeah, him and Richard Seymour running stunts all day. And Richard had been doing that all the last two years at this point. Yeah, I just like because, you know, when you think of Richard Seymour, you think of him as being like a big, tall, long dude, batting down passes, running down quarterbacks. But every time they tried to run at him,

they try to put two offensive linemen on him and push him and he just didn't move. Yeah, it was hysterical. Yeah, you think of that with Ted Washington, like, OK, yeah, you try to move him, it doesn't happen because he's like, you know, weighs as much as the three of us combined. Mount Washington. Yeah, Washington Monument. That's right.

I don't have Richard Seymour but. But Seymour was actually also playing fullback in this game due to an injury to Dan Cleco. And they just decide, you know, fuck it, fullbacks, not worth paying. So we'll just plug in Richard Seymour. Didn't look like a fullback, I will say. But Rodney Harrison, the commentators said that we're going to give Rodney an honorary neck roll and a number of the fifties because he's playing

like a fucking linebacker. Yeah, and the best part was his timing on the snap. First of all, however, he figured out the snap count and his timing. He would just come sprint. It's like you're watching arena football where he's just running towards the line. Yeah, he has that one guy in motion. Yeah, it's true. And he timed it perfectly every time.

And there was I think there was one play where he did that and he timed it. But he got picked up by the running back. But the running back was running a screen. And as soon as the running back didn't block Rodney Harrison the way that he Rodney thought he should, he was like, aw, something's up. Just grab the guy and just followed him. Let him catch the ball. Like did not get down and let him catch the ball and then just

dragged all into the ground for like a two yard loss. It was amazing play. It was pretty sweet. But Rodney actually the week before this game actually had some words with Rainey McMichael, the, is he a Titan? Apparently after the last game they played, the pages when they wanted overtime, McMichael called Rodney Harrison dirty. And apparently this week, I found an article in the Sun Sentinel it said,

in their ongoing and seemingly endless clash of boards, New England Page of Safety, Rodney Harrison had an idea last week for Dolphins, Titan, Randy McMichael, quote, I think he just needs to basically shut up and play football. What do you think he would have said if he really said what he wanted to? This fucking asshole. But he said it was friends. Yeah.

But what did you what do you say to Michael? Because I'm pretty sure they were they were chatting all game. I didn't really notice it. I don't know. I don't blame him. I don't blame either of them. No, yeah. If I was playing against Harrison, I'd be fucking telling me he was dirty

too. Yeah. You know, because he is. Oh, yeah. All right. So here we go. This is where it started. Well, Harrison and McMichael say they have no dislike for each other. Their recent conversations through the media have made that difficult to

understand after McMichael caught eight passes in the Dolphins, 1913 overtime loss of the Patriots on October 19th. He called Harrison, quote, a dirty player for emphasis. He added, quote, he's a garbage player. Oh, we Michael's comments were prompted by Harrison calling him overrated and delivering a forearm to the back of the head. Harrison's response, quote, when he makes a catch, he gets up and does his little dance.

So when we get a chance, we're going to make him pay. We're going to try and rip his head off. Yeah, the boys are beefing. McMichael said he and Harrison chatted a little during Sunday's game, like this game we're talking about, but nothing nasty. He said they complimented each other. At one point after McMichael dropped a pass, Harrison delivered a friendly pat on his backside, quote, anytime somebody calls you out, it's sort of

disrespecting you, Harrison said. I told Randy during the game, just play football. You're a good player. Just go play football. Yeah. I mean, I feel like when people talk shit to each other like that, it, it's, they're both the same type of person. Yeah.

So there's that kind of like underlying thing of like, yeah, I'm being a prick, but that's kind of the point. Yeah, exactly. And they're like, they can see a little bit of each other and each other to know that like, yeah, this is a real hatred. We'd probably like each other if we're on the same team. Game recognized game. Yeah, we're exactly.

We're playing the game that needs to be played here. But I think McMichael may have also been a kind of conciliatory because of the game that he had, because let's see. Randy and Michael five targets, zero catches, zero yards. And on the one drive that the, the dolphins actually had, they got to the Patriots 10 yard line. And I think it was third down. McMichael missed his assignment, which was Rodney Harrison coming in on the blitz.

And Rodney Harrison, Stripsacked, Jay Fiedler, which Patriots recovered. And that was like their only scoring chance. So he's like, McMichael was talking about how he's the one that kind of fucked up this game. His fault. They didn't score. Huh? We should call him Randy McFlurray came right back to the red zone and got fucked up again.

There's that Richard Seymour, like 20 yard sack. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, they got like into field goal range at one point. And then it went, I think I wrote this down. Oh, it was the beginning of the fourth. It's the first drive of the fourth. They started their own 40. And then on the last play of the third quarter, they hit a deep ball too.

I don't even fucking care, which put them at the New England 33 to start the fourth quarter. And then immediately from that rabble, got a strip sack, which the dolphins recovered. So it's third and 20. And then from there, Seymour got another sack. And now it's fourth and 33 from back on their own side of the field. It was like their own, like 40 something. It's like you strip sack and get the ball back for your offense.

Your offense doesn't do shit with it. Yep. Brooks Barnard has a punt with 30 seconds left into the wind. If only you guys had even run the ball twice, then we're going to punt it with the wind at his back, but nobody's got a point for the last play in the quarter into the wind, the ball hit a big pass or right back to where they were. And then it's just like now. And at this point, it's still three nothing because it's the third quarter.

And the pages have managed three whole points in this game. And yet it still felt like the game was out of reach because this defense was just so dominating. And that's what they did. Like, you know what? Fuck it, fourth quarter. This is our game. So we're going to sack them twice and put in fourth and 33.

The fuck out of our one play on there was that near interception from Tyler, so it went near and that's right. That's right. Strip sack, actual sack for 13 yards. Yeah, not great. Yeah. But then I think that was like immediately after that was the play that Falk got knocked out and followed.

And they punted it. Remember Tyrone Poole missed because they punted with the wind, I guess. And Tyrone Poole missed the punt, bounced at his feet and Kevin Falk recovered it. And then the next day he gets knocked out. Yeah. I was at a dirty hit, Andy. Uh, who delivered it? Uh, one of the safeties, I think.

Yeah, it was kind of like he got wrapped up from behind by Junior Seo. So his legs and then just got like his head taken off, like held down. It was clean. That was a shoulder. It was just bad timing because Junior lunged, barely got his ankles and like wrapped his both his ankles up at once. And Kevin Falk just started falling at that moment right as he got hit. So he was like, his body was like, yeah, I don't think it was dirty,

but it was a brutal hit. It was a big hit. Like you knew as soon as he got hit that like he was, he was out before you hit the ground, Brock Marion. Yes, I guess I just looked through their roster and I was like, who on this list would I pick to do a dirty hit? I think it baby Brock. I think it was.

Head hunting, typical Brock. Speaking of head hunting though, uh, one of the dolphins players, this is actually going to be my best, but this is a perfect segue. His helmet exploded. Oh, yeah. I saw that in the middle of the game. Yeah, I had to say, yeah. So I have a couple of pictures that I'll post on the show notes.

But like, holy shit, like it's not just a piece chipped off, like scrapped in directly down the center into two, like, yes, like a long helmet. Like, you know how they have like the stripe along the middle of the helmet? Like it cracked all the way along that was in two pieces. Was it cold? Is that did they talk about it on the broadcast? No, they didn't. All they really said about it was, uh, hey, you know, the guy who broke

the most helmets, Mike Singletary. Okay, she keel O'Neill. Kind of crazy break. I've never seen that before. Right. Yeah. I mean, well, Drew Bletzo had his own dented. That's not great.

I don't remember that on the, the hit that shared against the jets. Oh, right. Right. His face is actually was, was twisted and dented because it was all Lewis. How far we've come, you know, yeah, making fun of Kevin Faulk for concussions, helmets, splitting on the field. Now you can't even touch him. 12 whole points being scored.

Yeah, back when football was football. Old school football man. But we haven't actually touched on the, the iconic play of this. Teddy with one D Teddy with one D Teddy with one TD. Oh, this is off the, the barnyard dog punt, puts the ball like dribble the ball out of bounds at the five, not bad. And the next play, as the announcers are talking about how this is the perfect time to get Ricky Williams going, just pound it out of the end zone and just

give it to your workers. That's why you pay them all this money. Jay Fiedler drops back and throws a pick six to Teddy Bruce. The first play immediately. First play. Yep. As he's saying this, which again, ridiculous catch, though. Yeah, I, I'd forgotten how good of an interception it was, but this was one

of the most athletic plays I've seen a linebacker make. We're just like a pure hands play where it's like, he was like five yards away from this quarterback who was like trying to zip it into tight coverage. And it just, no bobble, nothing. Nope. Yeah, just snagged it. Yeah. But even if like, fully outstretched too.

Yeah. It looked like Chatham was there to block that down too. Like he threw that in. That wasn't bad. There was like the guy covering the receiver was closed. Two linebackers right there. Yeah. I mean, all his throws in this game were like that though.

Like a lot of them were good, but this, I mean, I don't think this was a play he expected they was going to get intercepted the way it did. I just, he just doesn't know the concept of looking anybody off. I think that might be true. And then they figured out long, soon enough. And yeah. You can watch Teddy in the replay. He just hides behind the blocker real quick and like, watch this either.

And then just, yeah, just slowly drifts that way as soon as the throw comes. But like fully outstretched, just absolutely snags it. And then walks in the end zone eight plus as well. Oh, yeah. Drop into his knees and like a long steps as he goes to his drags his feet. Yeah. Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah.

I'm iconic poster of this, Greg. Maybe I don't know. I feel like they even poster of like him just like on his knees. Yeah. In the air. And then like, it's like an all black bat border, like platoon. Right. See everyone throwing snow and shit in the air.

Yeah, there's a another iconic picture of him throwing snow up like by the the stands and like everybody else throwing snow, too. But that even just the throwing the snow to the timing of the song, too, as if it were like fireworks was absolutely amazing. The guy with that fucking hay song. Oh, yeah, fucking nail. That was gonna be my best best because like what a fucking song to play. Except that's Gary Glitter.

So he's been canceled. So you can't play that. Why? What happened to Gary Glitter? He's a kid. I know that was Gary Glitter. Who is Gary Glitter? Hey, song.

He's the guy that wrote that song. He's the he's a pop artist. I think he's a kiddie didler. Oh, that song anymore. Yeah. Oh, I did. Lost profits. Remember those guys?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they were into that sort of thing. Yeah, the lead singer, huge didler. Yeah. Now I can't listen to them anymore. I mean, I didn't really. Just do it on headphones. I just don't tell people.

Just do it on headphones. Separate the music from the artist. No, I was wrong about that photo you have, Greg. It is the one you were talking about, Andy, him throwing the snow in the air in front of the fans. Yeah, it's a great one. It's signed on eBay, one hundred and fifty bucks. All right, steady with one day.

Yeah. Where did you go to school? Arizona, Arizona. Nice. Because he's going back to be like a coaching consultant now, I think. Yeah, thanks. Because remember, remember Lisa that we had on Simpsons? Yeah.

Yeah, sure. She's she went to Arizona. So she's a big Teddy Bruce fan. Bruce, remember that shirt I got you, Andy? I still have it. My wife's a looking one. Yeah. So Bruce King of flying backers.

I remember I was probably like around this time, maybe like 14. I was like the first time I was like, dude, I just got the dopest Christmas present for my brother. It's got beer on it. It's the only time he's going to fucking love me so much after this. That was a great one. That was top notch. What happened, Greg?

I went. I remember seeing it at the mall and one of those stands in the memories with those things in the middle of the aisle. And I was like, sure, it's sweet. I went back later and bought it for you. So high. Well, I haven't even been able to unveil my Christmas gift. This year, you guys got me, which is probably on that level.

It's funnier, but maybe not something I'll wear is off. Yeah. How are we not making you wear that for every episode of because he hasn't been on yet? That's true. We're teasing it. But yeah, it'll happen. We'll even pose a picture. You'll have to wear it a bunch. So that's good, I guess.

Unfortunately, yes. Did you know Teddy was a accomplished saxophonist? I did. I don't remember. I think that came up. One of them nouns were said it. Like Lisa Simpson. Yeah. Like Lisa said, that's correct.

So I'm not going to lie. I thought that that was the only score in the game. I thought it was 10 nothing. Because unlike Greg, I don't watch. I don't look at the score before I watch it. And I have a note right here. And I was like, man, to be able to score again, there would have been even more smell because I was like such an organic, like cool thing.

And like, yeah, I thought it was really cool. And then like, I was like, yeah, it's cool. But like next time we score, it'll be even better. Yeah. Because everybody's ready for it. And then they close it out with the safety too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was which like an absolute garbage time safety. Probably the only garbage time safety I've ever seen because Miami's this is

after Tom Brady punts it down to the one. Miami starts at their own one and is now fourth and eight. And like, well, we kind of have to go for it. We're down 10 nothing. There's less than two minutes left. And it was a variable again. Wasn't it? We've got the pressure. Garvis Green.

Well, the variable basically pushed him into Jarvis Green, who was standing there with his arms wide open. And even the play before he almost had a strip sack. Yes, he did. Got his hand on the ball causing the incompletion. He was just he was unblockable in this game. It was amazing. All right.

You know, some worse thing we we touched on mostly good plays. I have one question for you that because we've seen a lot of iconic moments. In these games, but they all seem to be defensive moments. And one of the the last remaining arguments I'm hearing now about Tom Brady not being the best and they're like scraping the bottom of the barrel. Now, is Tom Brady is not the greatest because he doesn't have an iconic moment. What? Yeah.

Because Joe Montana, the argument was Joe Montana has the catch to Dwight Clark. Good point. I don't know what Peyton. Well, I mean, I don't think it's a good point. Aaron Rodgers has a couple of like Hail Marys. You remember? Yeah. Like what's the comeback from 20? Yeah, but what's the what's the play?

Yeah, there's no like one play that you remember. Tom Brady, I would say the spike in the snowball, but I'm partial to that game. Oh, it's the spike in the Rams game where you fucking spikes it and catches it. Yeah, but it's not a play. That's just like a moment. It's a player quarter. You didn't even make a play, though. That's a that's a that also showed that Tom Brady is super cool

as cucumber as a second in your player loop in like the biggest moments. Like that was when and even John Adam's commentation of that made it better. He's like, oh, what Tom Brady did just gave me chills. Oh, I've got one. All right. It just came to me. Uh, Tom Brady's touchdown pass against the Saints when they shouldn't have even been in it.

And you had Zollac's, you know, yeah, where's the beef show ponies? All that garbage show ponies. Whatever that was. That's pretty good. That's pretty iconic, I think. Yeah, there's a million iconic places. Like, you can get fucked with that argument.

Well, that's the thing that like Tom Brady has so many. Which one do you choose? Well, no, I think that's the beauty of Tom Brady is that it's not about him being like a player that can do things that other people can't. He's a player that everybody could do what he does, but no one does it every single time. And when the pressure is on and just comes through, like he's not even that talented, but he's still fucking wins every time.

But his, yeah, his fundamentals are so much better than anybody else's ever. His decision making, his footwork is just like pocket presence, his accuracy, his timing, just all of those pieces. And the fact that he does it exactly the same regardless of the situation. Like, it doesn't matter if he's down 28 to three in the Super Bowl, he's still doing the exact same book and thing over and over again. And the fact that he could do it on such a high level for so long, I think is what makes the consistency is really.

And also the fact that he doesn't like put himself in the situations where he needs to be the hero either. So you say Velojax a bad coach or you are in team Greg? No, I have a pro Velojax take here. You guys know him? Oh, my God. Let's hear this. Hang on, hang on.

Let me figure this is we are at what what time of the meeting are we? I fucking can't find. 6 PM 2021. Go on, Greg, I'm listening. I'm going to cut this. Well, all of this, you've hearing a lot of talk now that Brady won the Super Bowl that they're like, oh, if the if the Patriots had just gone out and like got some weapons for Brady, maybe he would have stayed.

They tried like they went and got Demarius Thomas. They got they got Antonio Brown. You know, got Joe getting hurt. They got Josh Gord. They got a ton of people. They just they just didn't work out. Yeah, the fact that Balanchek's fall, all the people they got, like every single one of them didn't work out is just like, yeah,

they they I thought they made more of an effort that year than they had like any previous years. Yeah, but I feel like they've been doing it for a couple of years, too. You know, yeah, like they had been just kind of like selling out a bit like they draft Nikila Harris. So first, yeah, they got a receiver that year, too. And you're fucking talk to me about them not trying to surround with weapons. Exactly. And year before they drafted

Sonya Michelle, too, right? Yeah. So like offensive pieces to frame the build around. So yeah, sometimes it doesn't work out. That's just I saw football works, you know, and Antonio Brown is going to molest his fucking trainer. Yep. Yeah. It's nothing like you could do there. Although nothing's changed.

But like all that heats off of all of a sudden for some reason. Yeah, these time heals all wounds. And he's also not going to like give stupid contracts on either like the Carson Wentz one that he has one good year gets hurt. And they're like, you know what? Here's a new contract that pays you shitloads of money. That's what you will find out on the hook for. Yeah. 30 million, 34 million this year.

He's not going to be on the team. It's the biggest trade of form. And they have two years and forty five million dollars committed. Yeah. But they have to pay like thirty four million this year. It's the biggest dead cap hit ever in the history of the league. Oh, the eels are fucked out. They're both fucked.

And this is all after building a statue of their backup quarterback who they also shipped out in front of the stadium. You know, those people have tattoos of that guy. Well, I mean, if you win the soup, I get that. But like building a statue seems a little premature, especially still on the team. Like, are you fucking kidding me? Anybody can do it.

Nobody does it as consistently as Tom. It's true. It's true. All right, best of words. Let's go. No, I mean, before we do it, can we do trivia? And we talk. Oh, yeah, trivia. Yes, I'm not I'm not going to go overboard here, but I just have I'm going to try and pull one trivia question a week. I love it. In the context of the dynasty.

OK, OK. All right. So since 2001, yeah, there have been seven players on the Patriots that have caught a hundred passes, but are not wide receivers. A hundred passes total or yes. Rob Gronkowski. Yeah, Rob Gronkowski is number one with five hundred twenty one receptions. Five five hundred twenty. OK.

So, yeah. Aaron Hernandez. Aaron Hernandez is number five. Oh, shit, he's on there. How many are there? Seventy five. There's seven. OK. James White. James White is number three. Kevin Falk. Kevin Falk is number two.

Number two. See, that's what I'm saying. How many did he have? He had four hundred and thirty one catches. Damn, as a running. That's actually nineteen ninety nine to two thousand. That's five close enough. I'll give it to him. So we're missing Vareem Vareem.

Oh, 107. He's number seven. Ben Watson. No. Oh, yeah, yeah. Ben Watson, one eighty four. He was fourth. So that's six. We got one more. Yeah, in sixth place.

Non-receiver. It's not going to be the fullback. Larry Senes. As we were running backwards. I'll give you his time frame. Yeah. Two thousand two through two thousand six. So he's on this roster now.

Daniel Graham. Really? Mm hmm. One hundred and twenty catches. He has more than what Watson had. Watson had one eighty four. Dude, Hernandez had one seventy five in three seasons. That's but not.

He could have been so good. I was my takeaway from that list. It's god damn it. Hernandez. So good. Yeah, that offense would have given people problems for fucking. It's almost all the contracts, too. Like they had them both locked up.

Yeah. And it was because it was one of those like unsolvable offenses because you could run out to tight ends and just run a fucking power run theme. And as soon as they ship on more defensive linemen or linebackers, you just fucking spread it out. Same fucking guys. Yeah.

Brutal. What could have been we're complaining that they only won 60 that might be that might be the overall dynasty worst. No, Hernandez. I think it's everybody's dynasty worse. Yeah. What else are you going to do? That is my worst take of all time is that Hernandez will end up with a better career than Gronk and it's getting worse every year.

It gets worse. It's still going. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. You didn't even have to look yet. You got a lot. Holy shit. That's a tough look. Yeah, I like that you're still owning up to it, though.

Uh-huh. You're the Max Kelleppi, you know, the Max Kelleppi of the Brown family. I like it. All right, so let's do best of words. That was great. Yeah, keep keep those coming. I like that. Greg, you can go first on best of worst since great trivia question

and you didn't watch the game. OK, my best tie law. I made this promise a while ago, but any time Tyler has an interception in a foul game, he will be named the best of the game. He always had a couple other like dope diving ones. Like cutting back on it. He was hurt, too, right? He was playing through injury.

He pulled a hammy on the on the second almost. Yeah, yeah. My worst is HP. Printers. I had about an hour and a half fucking battle royale with my printer before getting on this call. Greg is trying to print his notes for the call. Because he needs to print it out and have in front of him for his call.

Why does it say paper jam when there's no paper jammed? Oh, beautiful. All right, you go, Andy. I got a couple. All right, let's see. I'm trying to figure out what my best and worst are here. What do we have? Oh, my best was the graphic that they showed

probably halfway through the game. The game fact was the title of it. There was seats filled with fans, 45,000 seats filled with snow, 17,000. Oh, wait. So they couldn't get people in the 17,000. I think that's just how many people showed up. Yeah, a lot of people just like looked outside and said, fucking two feet of snow, I'm all set.

I still don't understand how they do that. Think they just do it by manual power, right? Well, yeah, you've never seen it on like the highlights where they basically have, well, nowadays, they figure out what it's like. Yeah, they put the shoots and everybody's like shovels the snow into the shoots. But yeah, there's no. Yeah, but just think about shoveling in like small crevices. Is it paying the ass?

I don't think they even had shovels. What, these are hands? I don't know. All it just showed shots of the stands and like any NPC that is gigantic snow mound on it. Yeah, that's that's what I would expect to see is like that's what it was. Because there's an opening shot of the whole like YouTube is this dude sitting on top and pulling his kid up the top.

Yeah, I just dragged his ass up. That's awesome. Oh, yeah, you're just like, all right, let's go. Hell, yeah, that's pulling me on top of the snow bank. You can get a better view because you're a great memory, right? Yeah, I bet. Remember when like a buffalo was doing like get a free ticket if you come and help us shovel the stadium?

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's a couple years ago. That's a great look. That's a great look. Yeah, I love that. That was sort of my best. So that was probably my my number. Good.

Like the fans here were a plus plus. Oh, yes. Yeah, the guys that show the people that showed up in this game were were like the hardcore like they were here for a good time. There was a sign that said today's special is frozen fish. It's like the very end of the game. Yeah, that's that's early 2000s humor there. Yeah, let's squeeze the cheese.

Yeah, I don't know if you want the very last like clip of the. Yes, is it due to this dolphins construction hat? Just getting a fucking load of snow dumped on him. Yeah, somebody hit him with like a massive fucking salt bag. It was just like, poof. And like the whole snowball exploded across him. And he just like he had like one of those like rubber mass on two. But you could tell like the whole just the way he was.

You're so dejected to be like, yeah, can't believe I fucking flew up from Florida for this kind of sit in this fucking snow. And we fucking lost 12 nothing and I'm going to tell them the snowballs. Yeah, I did for as good as much fun as the Patriots fans had with that because we won and because they're serving beer because I'm so fucking cold. You're sitting on snow. That office guy was having the absolute worst fucking time. Yeah.

But for my worst, I will say this was the 18th game in a row where the Patriots have failed to score an opening drive touchdown. I feel like I feel like you're saying that because we score one next week. But all right. No, I don't know. They just they show the stat at the beginning. It's like, oh, the Patriots haven't had an opening drive touchdown. The last 17 games and then they didn't score with this game either. So it's up to 18 now, which isn't great.

But they also never lose if they're winning at halftime. So yes, winning games, winning ugly. Patriots are never they're never like a fast starting team, I feel. Their second half team most. All right, I will throw one extra on the fans. 100 straight sellout. Yes, this was the 100th straight sellout since the crafts bought the team. Not too bad with my negatives.

It was sort of the field goal kicking from Venetary. It was sketchy. Put that one right on it. The extra extra point after Teddy's touchdown was going to throw. Yeah, almost almost double dunk. Like it hit one and came back across and just went behind the other. It was a 54 yarder with the wind in your back at the end of the half that he missed to barely, though.

He's not missed out by much. But yeah, I'm curious if the the holding situation on these are all pre packs and getting hurt. Yeah, I know, but the the holder was no longer Ken Walter. Oh, I mean, so they hadn't had a lot of time to get acquainted, if you will, let's not throw around baseless allegations here, Andy. OK, I'm just repeating what the commentator said. So you can take it.

Don't come after Damon without some hard proof. I think it's had a great line. And a Sunday Samuel's missed interception. And he's like, I hope it didn't hurt him because it hit him right in the fucking hand of his chest. And it did. That was pretty good. But, you know, you know, I know you gave it to the tie law,

but I'm going to give it to Eugene Wilson. Hey, Eugene, really, in this game, there was that third and one or Ricky Williams burst through the line. It's one on one. Him and Eugene with the same move that Portas put on. Yes, true. Shoes strings them and holds them. Right. Oh, yeah, he did.

It was like last man, last offender, one on one with Ricky Williams and just catches enough of his feet. He had like a big hit where he laid lumber early in the game. And they were talking about how he went to Illinois. And I think. That he was at Illinois when the Patriots had the miracle on Lake Champlain game because that was their stadium. We were playing there last year.

Yeah, it was 2002. Yeah, against this rookie year. So it was a senior year. So you probably was at that fucking game. Oh, I'll fucking may have been watching the Patriots come back on the if you're a senior or whatever, about to get NFL drafted on the football team, you're at the Patriots game there. That's interesting.

I bet I wonder if he was. That's funny. Not bad. What's your worst? If you go kicking start with the worst, you know, it's finished. All right, a couple of last things. The poll that they put up for this game, it's because they seem to do that every game now. Which of the following players should be the AFC starting Pro Bowl quarterback?

I'm going to give you a list here. One of these things, not like the others. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Steve McNair, Trent Green, John Kittner. Which one's the biggest, right? Could you tell John asked? What do you mean? Kittner is a legend. Yeah, this is when the Ben is first started getting good too.

They have been shit for a week and long, I think. Bengals legend, John Kittner. Yeah, Kittner is awesome. Whole Kittner caboodle. You know, Trent Green, they're the same. That wasn't as obvious to me. Yeah, no, this is Trent Green chief's era. This is he's.

Yeah, he's hanging the ball off the priest's homes. Yeah, we still putting up gaudy numbers because of it. And lastly, this doesn't really have to do with the podcast, except that it's both of you are involved in it. But Facebook today gave me those like, oh, you know, on this day thing. And you were both involved for some reason. And I just want to know if you remember what either of these are about because you both posted on my Facebook, Greg, from 13 years ago.

Um, February 18th, 2008. Yo, Andy, you're probably going to poop on for this, but I lost my cell phone this weekend. I need your number so I can call you about tomorrow. And don't tell mom or Ellie. OK. And then Steve's this. I don't know what it is. So maybe you can try and light on it.

Six, 12 years ago, February 18, 2009. So one year after to the day. One of my roommates does ask for the reason why your guess is as good as mine. But you know, I got a better arm than you and Greg. He might be the soccer princess, but you're his prince. Well, the last part remains true. But I don't remember the arm part. It would either.

You guys scrubbed your Facebook yet? No, no, I mean, what that means. You know, like every time someone gets drafted, they always comb their. Yeah, Greg, we I do that gets in trouble. I know a key word searched my Facebook, though. How bad was it? Yeah, there's a bunch of weed stuff, but nothing really problematic.

Yeah, at this point, dude, I would just openly like be like, yo, let's smoke a blunt this weekend, John. It's a public forum. What was I doing? Yeah, I did that no less than like like 15 times. Cretches you put out there. Clearly blood was one of them. Yeah. Yeah.

What else? Like weed, smoke. Yeah, like anything like any better. And I could think of. You jibba. No, that's probably a whole bunch. Yeah. Oh, boy. All right.

Well, what the hell's next week? Tuesday, Wednesday. Next week. I mean, there will be those days next week. Correct. Friday. Well, that's tomorrow. Oh, that's not what you guys do on this weekend.

The same thing I do every weekend, which is masturbate furiously over the world. Yes. Oh, that was a deep cut. I know. I like the smoke a blunt, dude, with John. Oh, we're getting the puppy this weekend. I I found one where I was messaging John on Facebook

and I posted something. I was like, yo, you ever going to come back and like clean up that pizza you threw in my wall and fix my smoke detector? Which is a valid question. And he goes, that wasn't me. It's clearly him. Really?

Next week is back to Gillette again. Back back home games. So I'm welcoming in the four and nine Jacksonville Jaguars. Skate. Can we skip this one? I do not remember. I don't remember this at all either. You can skip it. That's what I was expecting.

What's the next good one? Super bulk bag. I can't wait for these playoffs. Yeah, the next good one was probably the last game of the season because the Patriots have just won the AFC East. They did as we speak it into existence right now. Yeah. And they are first in the AFC because Kansas City lost.

So both teams are now 11 and two. And the Patriots have a better number one conference record or something like that, because one of their losses was to the NFC to the Redskins to the Redskins of all teams. So now we're just talking position in these last couple of games here, right? You went out and you're in first.

You have home field advantage all the way through. But they've clinched the division already. With six games to go. Is that right? I was 14. OK, three games in that free play. OK. So. All right, I'll see you guys in the playoffs.

Maybe maybe the Super Bowl. Maybe the Super Bowl. No, are you kidding me? I'm not the Super Bowl is not even one of the most excited for. Oh, boy, I have an idea of it. Oh, yeah, this is like my favorite fucking single game performance by any player ever. Oh, boy, is this your Eugene thing?

He's actually integral in it, too. But no, OK, I know what he's talking about. Yeah, OK. OK, yes. Yes, you know. All right. Well, until then, if you have any feedback for us, if you want to hear more of Greg's trivia or drug stories or you want Steven to actually put the puppy on the episode next week,

you can text us. I'll see you online. I wanted to shout out mom because that's where I get my hatred of all technology from. That's all I was thinking while I was like fucking cussing out this printer. I was like, this is this is mom. Well, I mean, my when I used to do like I.T. support my every time I go for an interview, they'd be like,

oh, so why are you good at this? I'm like, well, let me tell you about my mother. I'll tell you this story. One day I came home from college and I walked in and she was yelling at the printer, not at me about the printer, but at the printer. Eventually it turned to me. So she was yelling at the printer.

So I walked over and said, well, what's going on? What's up with the printer? And she turns, looks at me, says, God damn fucking printer won't print. I'm like, OK, what's what's going on? She said, I don't fucking I won't fucking print. So I walk over, look at the printer and I hit the on button. And it turns on and starts to print.

And so to thank me, she turns to me and says, well, the fuck does a printer have an on button? Storms away. My favorite was this was me. Like I walked to the door coming home from college. That was my welcome home. They welcome back. My favorite was like, I heard her like cuss in

in the other room and I walk over and she's like, it was when iTunes first came out. And she's like, I can't get this fucking song to play. I walk over and I mean, I've done iTunes before and I like just double click a song. I started playing and she goes, what did you do? I was like, a double click. She's like, you got to click it twice.

I was like, well, after like you clicked once, what was your next troubleshooting thing to do? Yell at it. Yeah. So, yes, I tell that story and I never didn't get the job because of it. So because of mom's anger towards technology. Yeah. And now she's now she's good at it. But she fucks quarantine.

She's she's a Zoom queen. Isn't that right? Yeah. Yeah. Instead of getting frustrated, she tries to like actually figure it out, which I need to learn that. That like I just get so mad at like the people that design it where I'm like, why the are you trying to like make me go through this labyrinth of like bullshit just to get your thing to work? Yes. Maybe we are.

Yeah. And instead of getting mad, I should just be like, OK, let's just solve this problem, Gregory. It'll be easier for you and less stressful if you just. I'm going to mail you my percussive maintenance tool. What's that? A baseball bat. Works every time. Sometimes all you got to do is threaten if you like you see this. Yeah.

And then it starts printing problem solved. I have a tendency to like rough it up a little. It's like sometimes that's all in punch the buttons and you're like, oh, yeah. You like that you dirty girl. Yes. So if you have any printer stores or you need any tech support, you can text us. Dinesie Hotline. What's the number? Oh, let me get it. Let me get it. All right. All right. 603. Yeah.

This is the hard part. Yeah. I mean, our season. Oh, SOS. Yeah. 505. Yeah. That's why the 505 seems such a weird beginning. And then it's Troy Brown for three, eight, oh, one, three, four, three. Yes. We got there. You want to do that the whole thing? Oh, I got to.

By the way, update on my sporkle endeavors. Oh, boy. I recently completed all the capital cities of Africa. OK. Go ahead. Ask me one. Zimbabwe Zimbabwe is Harare. OK. But the thing is, I've never had algears. I've never actually heard them pronounced. So all the pronunciations are just in my head,

which is kind of like, oh, God, I go. No, I don't have no idea if that's correct, but I know how to spell it. Guatemala. Guatemala is actually not in Africa. That's true. But it's Guatemala City, Ethiopia. Ethiopia is Addis Ababa. About Djibouti. Djibouti is Djibouti. Djibouti Djibouti, shaking Djibouti, shaking Djibouti.

That should be a song. Djibouti Djibouti Djibouti. I didn't like United States of America, United States of America. Yeah, I think all capital cities should just be the name of the country. Yeah, yeah, make this whole thing a lot easier. This cruise would be so much easier. Oogadougu is my favorite. Oogadougu has a great name. Which country is that? Yeah.

That is Burkina Faso. OK. Or Chad. Burkina Faso. No. The pronunciations are not my thing. We're really good at this. Burkina Faso. In Jemana. So if you know how to pronounce any of these.

Yeah. In Texas, 603-505-8043. They leave us a voicemail with the correct pronunciation. No, text us the correct pronunciation. All right. And until next week, we will see you later. You later.
