Welcome to Part of My Take. Today is Friday, October 13th, and it hurts me to say this,

but Max was right. Max was right. The bank won tonight. And Max was right more than anything

our big long debate, which I'm sure some people didn't love on Wednesday's show,

I thought it was very funny. It was the epitome of this show, debating stupid things over and over.

Max said that after game two, Castellanos barreled one up and that was good vibes. What did Castellanos

do the next two games? He hit four home runs. Someone has to be dead in the world right now.

Somebody very important passed away for Castellanos to go on this tear that he's been on.

Congrats, Max. Congrats, Max. You slayed the Braves. It had to take you spitting in my face

to do it. I'm sorry about the spit. I forgive you. What happened? It's too much to explain.

I got, I got mad. It's Castellanos hit a home run and you spit on PFT. Well, it was, I was yelling

at Castellanos. I was yelling at him. He hawked a loogie. No, the spit was a loogie on PFT. I know,

but I was, but the home run was because he said that we weren't getting barrels and that. Yeah,

which is a trigger word for Max. We learned don't say barrel around Max. He's a barrel chested man.

Yeah. But Max, Max stood up, started screaming. And with Max, you know how the line between anger

and pure joy is very much blurred. It's like the horseshoe theory on one side, you're happy. On

one side, you're sad. When Max gets so happy, he actually gets furious. And so he just started

screaming and then a loogie about the size of a silver dollar flew out of his mouth and I was in

the splash zone. It did. He didn't mean to, it wasn't intentional spit, but he spit on, but my

arm got spat on. Nonetheless, I disinfected it. I burned my arm. Um, so I think you are, you have

been sick for the last six weeks. So no, I feel good. Whatever you got, I got. So Max, uh,

congratulations. Take down the Braves bloopy beside himself. Oh, I haven't. Yeah. He, he tweets

something like seeing a couple of weeks, weeks, cowards way out. What does that mean? I don't know.

I don't know, but we got to read some of the replies to that. He's definitely getting ratio

getting killed. Uh, max and LCS D backs. Will you be rooting for our friend? Dan Heron? No,

not. Okay. Well that's fucked up. That's really fucked. I also was not running from you and Hank.

He's our good friend on the show. Yeah. We loved it. He was one of our first guests. Dan Heron.

Great guy. Dan Heron. I, you guys don't remember this. We also went to battle last year because

he said that Rob Thompson, Thompson wasn't a good manager. And then we started fighting. And then I,

when the, when the Phillies kept winning, I kept tweeting at him.

What do you think about Rob Thompson? Now? What do you think about Rob Thompson now?

He probably didn't see any of it. He replied. He replied. Max versus Dan Heron. That's what

this is about. Okay. I'm excited. Uh, Max, I'm happy for you. I really am. Again,

love the Phillies. They seem to have good vibes. They're an easy team to root for.

Also, what we learned this series, Braves kind of soft kind of complainers. Yeah.

Listen, if you're, if you're a Braves fan, you won a world series a couple of years ago. You'd

be happy with that. But now it, you seem pretty soft this post-season between the complaining

about a reporter tweeting out an accurate statement from the clubhouse and you're like,

that broke the sanctity of the clubhouse law. Give me a fucking break. Number one on that.

And then, yeah. It was a cesspit. It's BBQ guy. Yeah. Yeah. And they just tweeted out what they

got their job. And then the Braves fans acted like, who was the person that said it? Uh,

RCA. They acted like RCA had to be protected because English isn't his first language. It's

like, how could you do this when he can't defend himself? It's like, he said it, he actually said,

so it's like a report, whatever. The second thing, um, was it Acuna tonight that held up the iPad

for the television cameras being like, look, that wasn't a strike that they called on me.

Like he held up, held up a camera to be, or he held up an iPad to the camera to say,

look, I was right. The umpires are wrong. Do you think they have a red carpet waiting for

them at home? I don't know. They should make a carpet out of bloopy skin. Max, I know you

won't agree with any of this. I do feel bad for Braves fans. Baseball losses like quick baseball

losses are the most painful because you spend an entire summer invested in a team, 162 games,

one of the best offenses of all time. And then you go out like that. Like what they, what would

they end up scoring in their three losses? Would they score three runs? Yeah. They scored zero

runs game one, two game three and one tonight. That's tough. That's tough. That's very tough

in the history of baseball. Yeah. And it just like that it's over. And you're like the whole

season is for not, but the Phillies keep going. The bank stood up statement games from the bank.

We got home. We got home field against the D-backs

Rangers. D-backs don't care. The D-backs are scary. The D-backs are scary. The D-backs are

scary. They're very, I'm not exact gallon is for real. I'm not looking at that, at that team

lightly at all. Yeah. But you get to reset. You get, you get a weekend weekend off. Like I I'm

not kidding the weekend. I'm so looking forward to a weekend of not having my blood pressure at,

I don't even know. People were saying you might have a heart attack. So I, I could, I should wear

a, uh, what are those things? I'm struggling with words. I've already been streamed like the first

couple of games. Yeah. I think Thursday night is game three. We'll we'll stream that. Okay. And

then we'll figure out from there. That sounds, that sounds great. People break max, talk me

through your emotions. When you go back and you watch yourself on stream, like later after the

fact, I tried not to, I tried not to watch any of it because it it's not, it's, it's never like a

pretty site. I'm never doing something that I look at. Although the, the jump, the jump I might,

I may be like that was okay. You were sick. I like the shirt rip off too. That that's just primal.

That's just, that's just about doing it tonight. I was so close to doing it. And I was like,

dude, a lot of people were saying you look strong. I know, but that's what I'm saying.

Like I can't do it again because that's, that's all angles. I got a good angle and you don't want,

you don't want to, you don't want to keep testing. You look like Alex Jones after his diet. He's just

flexing a little harder and a little, yeah. Also before his diet and before I'm fine with that

build. Yeah. Um, all right. So the Phillies are into the NLCS. We're going to talk more baseball

with our good friend, Jared Kravis coming up. There was a football game tonight and, uh, the

Broncos are officially like the saddest team in the world. So sad. So sad. So Russell Wilson

stinks. He's, he stinks. He's wearing a wristband though. Do you see his wristband? He's wearing a

wristband. It was like size 0.0008 font. He had every play on it. He's he's T turtles so fast in

the pocket. He threw for 95 yards. It was not even like, I know that it looks, if you look at

it in 19 eight, no, it was never close to the cheese for up 16, nothing for what felt like

the entirety of the game until the Broncos scored with like five minutes left. But yeah, the, the,

the Broncos are tied now for the worst start in franchise history. Sean Payton, like, I think

they might bench Russell Wilson. They might, he's played himself out of a hall of fame career as

they might. And also Sean Payton called maybe the worst timeout that I've ever seen in a football

game tonight. Did it matter? Well, at the time it did, it was at the end of the second quarter and

there were 22 seconds left and the Broncos were about, I think they were about to punt and they

called a timeout and then they gave the chiefs the ball. It made, it made zero sense. And then

the chiefs and the chiefs kicked like a 60 yard field goal that would have been good from 80.

And then the game was over. Also, Andy Reed, I think Andy Reed is bored with the NFL. I think

Andy Reed is, he's made himself play the NFL on expert mode with the weird shit that he's obsessed

with doing. Cause I think that this chiefs offense, if they wanted to play just normal football would

have beaten the fuck out of the Broncos. It could have been 30, 40 point win, but they do all these

weird plays almost like Andy is just like, he's playing with his food. He's like, I know I'm

going to win. So I'm just going to get really weird with it. And maybe in practice, maybe the

chiefs are so, so bored winning games normally that in practice, Andy's like, I got to, I got

to do something fun to keep these guys attention on football. So I'll just, I'll do like double

pass back and have my backup wide receiver throw a screen to my running back and then get like

three tight ends out in space blocking for him. It's crazy. It's wild. It's crazy.

Uh, Patrick Holmes now has, he is still never lost to the Denver Broncos, which is an insane

stat. I think he's 16 and Oh, now, uh, the last time the Broncos beat the chiefs was Peyton Manning.

That's crazy. It's nuts. That's such utter domination. 2015 part of my take didn't exist.

Part of my take didn't exist. The last time the Broncos beat the chiefs,

that is insane to think about. It's insane to think about. I was 23. It might not exist the

next time. That's going to be so long. That's fucked up, Hank. Yeah. What the fuck Hank?

No, I'm saying my home's got a long career ahead. You're trying to split up the show, right? All

right. My bad. That was unnecessary, Henry. These are my favorite things to look at. No, I just,

but whatever. I was thinking like 15 years, you might not be alive. How about that? You might

not be alive. I know this might be the last time the Broncos beat the chiefs. They made it the

chiefs call today. The present, the Broncos made their rivalry. It was when, when they last beat

the chiefs, it was 5755 all time chiefs. And now it is 7255. That's very sad. That's very,

very sad. Oh, that close. Also Taylor Swift was at the game tonight. She was in the box. Um,

so it was Brittany Mahomes showed her a lot. They showed Taylor and Brittany embracing a little bit

up in the box. Do you think they're actually, they looked like they were friends. They did. I,

is that a show for the cameras? I might, I might have to wait to see if maybe show me a video

action. No, show me an Instagram post where they each take pictures of themselves with each other,

where they post a picture where their friend looks way less cute than they do. And then I'll know

their best friends. Yes. Post the worst picture of them on their friend's birthday, but you look

good. Exactly. That's how you know that it's real. Yes. Uh, hopefully we don't get canceled

for that one. I would like to see it. I think I see the real picture. I think every woman listening

to the show is like, yeah, that's what we do. You're right. Um, okay. Uh, what else before we

get to the week six pixel preview? Oh, is our ad going today? Yes. Friday the 13th. Yeah. All

right. Tweet us that I'm excited. We've got some hard copies too. Oh, they are. Yeah. Beautiful.

We'll get them framed. Will you get them framed? Yeah. I can work on it. Love it. Thank you,

Jake. Great job. Thank you guys. Very cool. Um, shout Dana Holberson. Yeah. I had West Virginia.

Yeah. Fuck you. Hey, did you not know that you had Houston? You don't, you know, I didn't,

I didn't know you bet West Virginia. I didn't have a bet on the game. I just, you know, like

the friends of our show. Yeah. Well, we have a lot of friends in West Virginia too. So it's tough.

Yeah. That was tough. That was crazy. I mean, that was college football and it's fine as a

clean shot Hank. It was college football. It's fine. I actually didn't know. I was just a crazy.

No, I know. It was nuts. I, and also you can't be mad about it if you had West Virginia because

you should never have even been in a spot to cover. And then Houston had a hail Mary with

seven seconds left. Squib kicks, squib kicks, squib your kicks. I'm happy for Dana though.

First win in the big 12. I'm happy for coach Dana. He is our good friend. Okay. Let's kick it

to ourselves. Week six picks and preview. I actually got a question about that. Do you think

that Dana would get more drunk after a heartbreaking loss to West Virginia or after a miracle win

against West Virginia? That was a, that was a drinking win. Yeah. Oh, he's he'll be drunk till

Monday and rightfully so. He's going to have a great time. Yeah. That was a great win for them.

six will be the first time officially say we are a third of the way through the season. Oh shut up,

don't say that. But it is so fast how like it's crazy how fast it goes. I just I hate it when you

I know you hate it when I say it but I use it I don't see it say it as a negative I see it as a

embrace every moment smell the roses we love football football's on we're day whatever 10 of

50 straight football days just you know stop and have a moment where you're like oh yeah this is

awesome this is what I like about life tell you what a third of the way through I can live with

that yeah if you pull the thing where you say we're halfway done I I'm probably going to burn

the studio down all right so then I'll go two thirds I'll just go we're one we just we're after

this weekend we've hit the first period okay all right yeah regular season we still have a whole

month after that of course regular season regular season and then there's March Madness after that

we're fine yeah Sunday's race you know they're they're the best they're the best uh okay first

game London game another London game Ravens and Titans uh I have a couple things about this game

first is the travel schedule definitely favor favors the Ravens I looked into it without a doubt

Ravens flew on Monday Titans flew on Thursday night Thursday night after practice after practice

I went back I did some research actually on the Ravens and their travel record and how they do

so uh they played the last time they played in London was 2017 they went there on Thursday night

that was Harbaugh's strategy that was the worst loss that John Harbaugh's ever had in his career

as a head coach they lost 40 47 to the Jaguars this year they're going early they already went

there they've been there since Monday they've been acclimated to British life right now um

I don't know why the Titans are flying out they did it last time they went there

in a loss I don't know why teams do that but it was a they failed the two-point conversion with

time running out uh so when Vrabel was asked about this he's like yeah the only difference

is we're going to try to get the two-point conversion this time so that's that's perfect

Vrabel answer because his his explanation for it was just basically we're going full speed ahead

this week he's just like fuck it that's his strategy is fuck it losers complain about time

zones but in this case I I don't know why a team wouldn't choose to go out there earlier in the

world it doesn't make unless it's the owner saying we don't want to pay for hotels yeah I don't know

still it doesn't make any sense in fact get there so the Titans practice this week with their

throwback helmets on they're spending more time getting ready for their throwback helmets next

week that's smart than they are but that is it is smart than they are about this week so you gotta

be ready for the throw I'm gonna hammer the throwback uniforms against the Falcons next week

but this week Mike come on yeah get Ravens first get your ass on a plane mega lock uh okay so

here's my take I'm kind of sick of the London game and let me just explain it before anyone

gets tells me I'm wrong uh I like the early football it's fun I'm sick of the fact that

they have made something that was unique and different into just every week when it was like

twice a year and it was spaced out it was kind of cool like oh shit we got a bonus game this is

the third week in a row they're just changing the schedule on us they're slowly like getting our

brains ready for football at 8 30 in the morning I don't know I just I liked that I liked how cool

and unique it was and now it doesn't feel cool and unique it just feels like a burden it's like

interleague play right it's so so what's probably going to happen is in the next like two to three

years there might be four games four games a season over there I think next week is there

not the Germany well the Germany I'm talking about London that's a few weeks okay all right

this is third in a row yeah so it's the third in a row next year there'll be four in a row year

after that maybe five in a row and next thing you know we're gonna have a team in London we're not

even gonna notice we're just gonna be ready for it I know so I'm saying right now I noticed yeah

I noticed I noticed what you're doing NFL there's nothing I can do to stop it but count me in the

in the group of people who notice so it used to be that they would screw over like two teams a

season in terms of travel schedule now they're screwing over I think seven or eight teams

so it's like a third of the league is getting boned on this London uh European football no

we're going week week nine and week 10 and week 10 yeah so week nine is that also is that that's

Germany and then week 10 is Germany as well so they're going back to back again so this is going

to be five out of seven weeks that again I don't I like more football different time slots I think

that if if the NFL was really smart what they would do is adopt more of like a college football

uh schedule yeah if we played 12 o'clock eastern was like four games 3 30 eastern was like another

four games a couple games at six and then one game at eight yeah that would be cool yeah and

it's not it does feel like more football but we forget it's the exact same amount of football that

we'd have it's just at different times but yes it's just lost the allure it used to be something

very cool like whoa this is so unique now it's just oh another Sunday yep they're playing a

weird game over in London people on the west coast they get boned by this harder than anybody

we're gonna stand up for the west coast a little bit well I I don't like when west coast people

were like oh it's the best time zone and then you just say like oh so what are you doing for

Monday night football like oh I'm sitting on the 405 yeah or coming home from work or what do you

do for London football yeah London morning football what do you do for college football

yeah starts at 9 a.m yeah you can't tailgate for something although I guess you could make

you could make the argument that you could just stay up all night drunk and then

roll right into I also don't think people in LA are getting up at you know eight in the morning

being like man got to make sure that I'm up for Rutgers versus Maryland yeah probably not but

they will have to now because it will be UCLA versus Rutgers you're gonna have to watch okay

uh nerd nugget for this game the Ravens have rushed for at least 100 yards in 21 straight

games marking the NFL's longest active streak San Francisco is second with 11 games okay okay

good nerd nugget um there was there was the clip of Joey Porter telling about Odell Beckham like

go spend more time with your family yeah after the end of that game it occurred to me yesterday

what he was talking about he was probably telling him to go ask his dad to cut up more highlights of

him being open downfield that's what that meant Odell was open a couple times and you get fooled

by the screenshots where they have like okay this wide receiver is wide open on this play they're

like why can't you throw it to that guy it was it was a great game uh the Ravens Steelers game

of do you watch ball bro because if you just look at the the box score you can be like Lamar sucked

yeah and if you watch the game you're like Lamar was not the problem they're receivers

I think it's a bounce back game for the for the Ravens receivers I think they're gonna catch

everything well they can't drop as many passes as they did last week they definitely can I don't

know I think they absolutely could I think they maxed out on that one I do like the Ravens though

and I'm entirely basing this on travel yes Hank what are you gonna say I mean last week was as

bad as it gets but it could get worse I don't know I really don't think it could yeah it could try

they could try they could definitely try uh okay next game Seahawks at Bengals uh we have

DK Metcalf saying that David Witherspoon will make the uh will get the best of Jamar Chase

and then Jamar Chase uh retweeted that clip on his Twitter so he saw it it's the legion of spoon

I I had a dream and this is I get a dream bet once every I'd say I don't know eight nine months

and my dream bets always hit so this is official PFT dream bet bet that I'm putting out in my

sleep last night before DK Metcalf put this out there I dreamt that Witherspoon was going to put

the absolute clamps on Jamar Chase in the game I dreamt a post-game press conference with uh with

Jamar Chase being frustrated with him asking him if he was always open this game I had the entire

thing say no yeah he was like no gotta he said hats off to Devin Witherspoon hats off hats off

so I'm betting the under on his receiving yards this week that's just I gotta follow the system

I think I'm two and oh lifetime on dream bets there's also uh potential weather weather isn't

real but there is potential weather this time of year we're starting to get a weather time I think

there might be some wins Joe Burrow though looks like he's fully healthy was in practice this week

not wearing anything on his leg his leg does look skinnier but he doesn't he was moving around he

didn't have the brace on he didn't have the sleeve on his calf yeah so I think Joe Burrow he did the

impossible he played himself back into health yeah he played football until he was no longer

injured from playing football yeah this is gonna be a big test though for the Bengals yeah part of

me says oh the Bengals are back and then you got to remember they also did play the Cardinals right

who are feisty but but the card we get they are the Cardinals Jamal Adams is back apparently

let's play I think he's back and uh it's very disrespectful but yeah but it's very but it's

also very true that's a memes original isn't it did you call blitz boy no no maybe jack jack

mcguire did someone someone on our bar the bar still made a calc started calling him blitz boy

a few years ago he blitzed I just love it it's like slant man and blitz boy yeah the two uh the

two avengers he also has the nfc Jamal Adams you should take away some of your paraphernalia on

your arms until you start playing well again like he has way too much stuff going on he I think he

has like six or seven weird armbands yeah you gotta you gotta minimize that until you start playing

well then you can add them back so the theme of this week is travel in the NFL so I looked up more

travel information about the Seahawks they've won 15 of their last 18 early kickoffs uh when

it's 10 a.m pacific time and the Seahawks are 16 and 4 including playoffs in the eastern time zone

since 2018 because Pete has them travel early yeah Pete gets it yeah I'm betting let's get it

I'm doing all these games on travel this week so travel the theme of your week theme of my

week travel travel and dreams travel and dreams uh okay what's your uh nerd nugget since the start

of the 2020 season Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has 18 touchdown passes of 40 or more yards which

is the most in the NFL that was a hiccup from Max sorry I'm it's deep yeah he throws deep I didn't

hear it I didn't even hear this nerd nugget because I was just sorry I'm sorry it's been a big week

I'm sorry no I the hiccups the hiccups I'm a big just one hiccup whatever one hiccup no I don't

think anyone's ever done one you'll see I won't I won't hiccup again the rest of this show I bet

that just feels like it's just oh I like this bet that feels like it's just food bubbling over

let's work I want I want did you just eat lunch 50 bucks 50 bucks can I tell Hank all right I'll

tell Max all right you better not fucking hiccup I'm not going to I heard I heard a very funny

hiccup story about a guy that used to be on our podcast William football um apparently after the

water dogs lost the championship game it was a very somber mood in the dogs locker room and uh

the coach was giving a post-game speech thanking them for everything they did and just like pouring

his heart out there and Billy had been enjoying the beer garden for the entire game and uh he had

his like head down like he was one of the guys like head in his hands like so upset that they

lost and it was quiet and then Billy just lets out the biggest hiccup ever because he was hammered

and everybody in the locker room turned and stared at oh no come on Billy's living his best life he's

just part of like a street team yeah he's going I think he's got a pink Whitney tour yeah he's

going to Tallahassee this weekend he's using him for for exactly what he should be used for all

right next game 49ers Browns we don't know if Sean Watson is playing uh if it's DTR will be

hilarious we have record watch McCaffrey is uh 14 straight games touchdown 15 is the record

he'd be tied with OJ Simpson and John Riggins and I also have a little stat for you this comes

from Jack Hammer great name oh Jack Hammer NFL he's a beat reporter for the 49ers Jack Hammer

uh Kyle Shanahan has faced Jim Schwartz nine times his teams are one and eight against him

and have scored over 20 points just once wow little little something there that's still

I'm going to take the Niners but little something there yeah so right now it looks like it's priced

in that Deshaun's not playing I don't know if that's true he's medically cleared and he I think

was medically cleared last time what's the line right now seven uh last night I looked at it and

I thought to myself it was six maybe now it's seven nine okay now it is now he's not gonna

play yeah because it was six as of yesterday afternoon I also read that PJ Walker would

probably get the start over DTR that's bullshit DTR so funny he is fun to watch yeah this would

be the only spot like the Niners have been incredible but if you want to pick a spot

it's coming off a absolute ass whooping of the Cowboys on national television Sunday night football

having to go to Cleveland early kick Jim Schwartz Kyle Shanahan I'm not going to bet on the Browns

but if you wanted to you could easily sell yourself on this being the place to fade the

nut you want to hear a travel fact sure I have another travel these are great uh so Kyle Shanahan

12 and 5 on the east coast okay so the Niners travel well when they go east because they leave

early they do it's a fact yeah that's travel fact yeah yeah yeah 12 and 5 straight up or

against the spread 12 and 5 straight up this is a nine point spread it's a it's a travel fact that

Kyle Shanahan so if you want to take the Niners to win the game I'm actually going to take the

Browns in this game okay I'm going to hold my nose and take the Browns yeah I'm going to get

your travel facts well it's it is a big spread yeah uh some spread Jake the 49ers have a chance

when their 16th consecutive regular season game if they beat the Browns this week which would mark

the longest regular season winning streak in franchise history whoa whoa okay also we did

we did see David and Joku's face oh my god football guy of the millennium I can't believe

he played insane it's crazy did he try to put the fire out with his face he was lighting a fire pit

in his backyard and he was like let me just put it out by blowing on it with my face I think he

was trying to light it I don't think he was trying to put it out crazy crazy yeah he's a

tough motherfucker tough motherfucker uh okay next game Vikings at Bears Bears coming off a win but

they haven't won a home game in over a year calendar year September was last time they won

a home game uh Justin Jefferson is out Kevin O'Connell had a little fun with that he said

my expectations is we hit the gas with Jordan Addison this weekend no pun intended but intended

uh do you think if the Bears win this game that Kirk Cousins could get traded I think it's a

possibility and so he's got the no trade clause right so in order to make that work it would have

to be a team that would want him that would then give him a massive extension that he would be

happy with that to me is the key to getting good because I don't think you're going to get Kirk to

like pick up his life and move his family he's going to have to find like different coals to

shop at and then that's going to be a challenge for him and his family but he's not going to go

somewhere for like four months and then leave again unless they're really really good I guess

it's probably a possibility but what really really good team would want him I know so I'm thinking

I'm 49ers should honestly just trade for him just in case it's yeah and have a nice backup seriously

if you if you're the 49ers the only thing that can derail your season is another like all of

our quarterbacks get hurt right so so the teams that would have cap space I noticed earlier in

the week the Falcons made cap room they like did a big restructuring of a guy that they didn't think

they were going to restructure right now and then Arthur Smith was like kind of coy about why they

did it I could see the Falcons trying to do something like that would be interesting because

if you're being honest as a Falcons fan you're not really happy with with the quarterback

situation right now like if you play well right now Desmond Ritter's peak is playing well enough

to win right right so I it's probably not going to happen but if it were to happen I would keep

my eye on the Falcon if they if the Falcons got Kirk Cousins would they still start Desmond Ritter

at home that would be awesome yeah if they just did it a whole minute away also Kirk Cousins would

look very strange in like the all-black Falcon skier yeah maybe kind of an edge to him though

yeah maybe kind of an edge um so the Bears right now Justin Fields he's coming off two great games

he is on pace for 3,800 yards and 37 touchdowns he would be the first Bears quarterback ever

to throw over 30 touchdowns in a season Eric Kramer had 29 in 1995 there was also the year

that Josh McCown and Jay Cutler in 2013 combined for 32 so record watch for the Bears yeah get

if Justin Fields can this season if the Bears season isn't good but Justin Fields can just

erase some of the insult stats that are out there it would be a success like if you get 4,000 yards

if you could get over 30 touchdowns great I actually think the Bears were on the receiving

end of a compliment stat last week well Schefter insults that at us when he was like Justin

Jefferson is out for the game against the Bears in his uh four seasons as a pro he has more yards

than any Bears receiver ever yeah yeah insults that it has no reason to put that in there but

there was a compliment stat that you guys got last week DJ Moore his 230 yards receiving the second

most in the Chicago Bears history that's impressive yeah when you see 230 yards Bears you're like

well that's probably a season season a season-long record for them but in this case no it's like they

actually they have a big game that they had as their number one so it was like oh shit the Bears

aren't always totally garbage at receiver yeah he also won offensive player of the week in the NFC

which I think was the first time since 1999 the Bears players done that congratulations so huge

huge Bears are looking up if you were Justin Jefferson and you're sitting out this game you're

probably out for the next three games with a hamstring um and you lose to the Bears you're

probably not breaking your neck to come back and play for this season's Vikings or you're like with

your contract yeah or your hamstring yeah you're probably not going to want to risk that so this

feels like it could be uh it's it's definitely a line in the sand game for the Vikings like you

should win this game and if you don't pack it all this is a blowed up game yeah the Bears could blow

up the Vikings this weekend let's see what the Vikings give them a Viking funeral uh Jake go

ahead give us your nerd nugget shootout incoming entering this week Vikings quarterback Kirk

Cousins leads the league with 13 passing touchdowns while Bears quarterback Justin Fields is tied for

second in the league with 11 yeah so the Bears are 5-0 to the over and the Vikings are 4-1 to

the over which would be 5-0 if the refs didn't screw them against uh the Chiefs last weekend

the Vikings have the Niners next week Monday Night Football yeah so it could be a blowed up

spot what's the opposite of a look ahead a look behind yeah like check your six yeah because

rearview yeah because if you're the Vikings you've got that even if you're a Vikings player you

probably have that circled as an ass kicking next week yeah that's not going to be good like get

primetime Kirk against the Niners this is a get your wins in week yeah you need they need to win

and listen the Bears might be back if they win this game and I am all the way back in it Justin

Fields I liken it to a relationship where listen Justin Fields threw some interceptions I said some

things you know we both had uh emotional times but at the end of the day don't go to bed angry

so I'm no longer going to bed angry okay if people want to say oh well you said week three he's not

the guy yeah I did he's the guy again it's fine we're fine everything is good he's not the problem

uh okay Commanders of Falcons we're on a Sam Howell sack watch he has uh been sacked 29 times

on pace for 99 sacks which would crush the record of 76 David Carr in 2002 yeah whoo yeah offensive

protection hasn't been that good Sam Howell also needs to learn how to get the ball out sometimes

and I'm going to pay a compliment to Justin Fields in the game against the Commanders

he was really good at throwing the ball away yeah he had I think I think not only did he have

some of the the best uh actual passes and the best passing attack with DJ Moore he also threw some

amazing incompletions when he was about to get sacked yeah decisiveness it's good that you've

got a big guy that's using his size to throw the ball away over the top of the defenders that are

coming in yes Adam the Commanders offensive line stinks the defense is the biggest issue I think

the offense I should be okay it'd be nice to run the ball once or twice because we just abandoned

the running game last week the Falcons might load up the box it's kind of well the Falcons defense

is actually better than I yeah then they're getting credit for yeah yeah the Falcons defense isn't bad

the Commanders defense stunk last week and I'm on fire del rio fire jack del rio Rivera's probably

not going to do it because he's done at the end of the season so why would he torch a guy that's

been his guy for a long ass time right if he's going to get fired in or if he's not going to

get renewed at the end of the season but they need to do something different on defense because

jack del rio is doing the exact same thing where he's got four guys rushing the passer and then

you're also having your cornerbacks try to jump routes or jump roots as they're happening and

what happened to Emmanuel Forbes last two weeks he's gotten his ass kicked yeah they just look

undisciplined yes that's really what it is like there's there's moments when I mean you were at

the game but they were they were highlighting on Amazon Prime like Chase Young just no no ability

to keep the edge letting Justin Fields run around them they're running the Bears running game was

able to run through them it's it'll be an interesting game because this is if the if the

Commanders win a soupy back on no we're not soupy we're not soupy we're just we're back to playing

spoiler we can play spoiler but if but if the if they don't change the way that they're running

their defense Forbes is going to continue to get cooked this entire year and he's going to be one

of the worst cornerbacks in the NFL because he takes a lot of chances the way you counteract

that is by doing you know what I never thought I'd say this I miss Dr. Heat on the Commanders

I miss Greg Williams just fuck it go zero blitz all the time if you're going to have your

cornerbacks jumping routes anyways it's like give them get to the quarterback know that you will get

to the cornerback yeah that's how you're going to play the if the Commanders can win this game they

have the Giants next week that could you know it could be back to four and three going against the

Eagles at home yeah hmm Taylor Haneke revenge game though and you play the Patriots a week after that

that we are Desmond Ritter never lost at home did Desmond Ritter 31 and 0 at home in college and

uh NFL uh okay go ahead Jake Sam Howell has completed 10 passes of 30 or more yards through

his first six career games since 2020 that's the most by a player through their first career six

first six career games it's also the most in franchise history um can I can I confess one

of my deepest darkest fears to you guys yeah go ahead I love mine is Max is going to hiccup again

I love Sam I think he's been just swallowing him like Hank is literally just staring at Max's face

I love Sam Howell and I've really enjoyed watching him play and I think he's good

I also think that we might I might be getting into a situation where I'm falling in love with a guy

and he might be like consistently above average at quarterback and then I'm going to get so

frustrated with him in like three or four years just like I did with Kirk Cousins that he's just

not good enough to be a great quarterback and then I'm going to start to hate Sam Howell after

that I know it's early I know the body of work that we've seen is small and it's encouraging

but this is just me being burned so many times that I think Sam Howell is our guy remember we

did this a while ago like the difference between he's our guy he's my guy versus the guy I'm just

afraid that Sam Howell is going to be my guy yeah and not the guy that's okay that's okay we'll just

play play the game I would take my guy though considering you know all things being equal

the history of our two teams with quarterbacks I would take my guy they should let Taylor Heineke

play in this game both ways yeah they should all-time quarterback they should uh okay next

game Panthers and Dolphins yuck so the big news out of the Panthers this week is David Tepper

looks like an owner no one wants to work with uh there was a couple quotes so Frank Reich said

there's different philosophies in ownership some owners kind of stay stay away and don't engage a

lot other owners do and his philosophy is he's going to engage and listen it's only been a short

experience but it's been a good experience it hasn't been fun I wouldn't characterize them as

fun meetings and he also said I talk to Tepper every week multiple times usually talk either

Monday or Tuesday after a game and he's super competitive wants to bring a winner to the

Carolinas he wants it now wants it now and pushes me and pushes us to that end he wants to do

whatever it takes and turn over every stone turn it as much as he has to to produce winning football

so I appreciate those conversations they're always very challenging he's a super competitive person

he's not going to sit idly by that's a problem yeah I can't imagine like a real alpha type head

coach wanting to work for a guy like that that is a uh our owner he basically in those two quotes was

like yeah this guy is putting his you know nose where it shouldn't be and micromanaging a football

team and that's not how a successful organization runs there is no like you can't have that you can't

have the owner forcing the coach to have a meeting multiple times a week well the cowboys and they

were pretty good 30 years ago yeah right they they the only time the cowboys were good was when Jimmy

Johnson a true alpha yeah was in there and they butted heads all the time but yeah that's that's

not a good sign for the David Tepper Panthers uh he I think he's gonna have to probably adjust that

because I don't think football lifers football coaches love when the owner is like hey so why'd

you run this play yeah so in most sports when an owner takes over they they are like this because

it's their new toy and they're obsessed with it and then there's always an interview that the

owner will give like five years into their tenure it's like what have you learned as your time being

an owner they say well it's that I should let the football guys be football guys and that I should

take my hand off well it happens every time and yeah most owners are very wildly successful in

business and they're like I'm gonna run my football team exactly like I ran my business

and just treat everyone like that and then they get in the building I was like fuck this guy yeah

he's gonna run it like Goldman Sachs so did you my favorite fact about about uh Tepper is that

in his office on his desk he has a big pair of brass testicles that he keeps on his desk so

whenever anyone new walks into his office he's like you know why why keep these here and they're

like no why he's like because I got brass balls love that so that's yeah he sounds like a miserable

person sounds like it sounds like a terrible terrible boss uh I hope uh Devon A-Chain gets

better because he is so much fun to watch but I do think that like I don't know this game is weird I

the Dolphins should kill the the Panthers but at some point the Panthers are going to cover a spread

and do it a big spread like this what is it right now 14 and a half it's good it's been climbing do

you think that Chase Claypool is too slow to play on the Dolphins um they talked about maybe making

him uh tight end yeah yeah you might disrupt the timing because two is used to just rockets out

there I also I went on uh Pittsburgh radio this morning with our guys and uh they tried to make

fun of me for Chase Claypool because obviously the Steelers ended up getting the 32nd pick

fun fact Chase Claypool uh before he joined the Bears last year the Bears were three and five

when he joined the Bears they went 0-12 and since he's left the Bears they're 1-1 so Chase Claypool

is the human tank machine yeah so he actually is the greatest bear of all time because without him

they would not have gotten the first pick yeah and been able to trade it for the Panthers

the Panthers I think they I don't know do you think they regret that maybe a little maybe

maybe a tiny bit who won the trade I think the Bears might have won that trade with uh the

Panthers just openly saying we need a wide receiver yeah it like EJ Moore and also not having they're

the first they're the worst team in the league right that to me sounds like a Tepper special

where he's he's trading away one of his best players and then like five weeks later he's like

we really could use that exact same guy that we traded away yeah whoops where why can't we get

that guy back uh go ahead nerd nugget so it's 13 and a half right now 13 and a half uh the

Dolphins have won 14 of their past 16 home games and have never won 15 of 17 at Hard Rock Stadium

since it opened in 1987 so they're playing all-time good football at home right now yeah
