The only, ironically, the only weak spot that I thought that the Lions had tonight was their punting game. Jack Fox had a down night. Didn't matter, didn't matter, and the.

And yeah, the lines are for real. Like that was a real they they. They proven it, and I think I think Al Michaels was saying it. They've gone to Arrowhead, they've gone to Lambeau.

They won both games as a road teams and they are like, looking great. They even had that moment in the second half where they were. The game was maybe slipping away from them a little bit. And Ben Johnson was like, No, no, let's, let's, let's go back to what we were doing, let's be aggressive again. And they marched right down the field.

And yeah, I I mean, Jared looks awesome. I'm on raw every time he catches the ball, he runs so angry. Their defense was firing. The Lions are for real.

And I enjoyed the hell out of this game. I will be. People will say I'm petty, people will say I'm being a bitch, I don't care this. This is going to be in the runnings for Best Bears Games of the year.

I feel like at some point we're going to run into the place where the lines are no longer. The feel good, plucky underdogs they're going to be, they're going to have a target on their back. Now. As a legit, good team in the N.FL, I think they're up to it too. That defense is awesome. Or at least tonight, it was good.

They've, they've had a couple of hiccups here and there. Like that. Seahawks game sucked, but they dodged a bullet with Brian Branch that looked bad. When he got hurt again, he got re-injured. Well, yeah, because he shouldn't have gone back in the game.

I know he's a dog, he's a dog, he's a dog. And so, yeah, when he. When he hurt his leg, I think everybody was like, Oh shit. I hope that's not an Achilles. Because he got carded off. He looked at mobile and then they just taped him up and he's like, I'll go back in there very clearly.

Not not ready to play yet, but at least he's not done for the season. Cause I think a lot of people thought, you know, worst case scenario when they see that. But yeah, the the defense looked surprisingly good from the lines. Jared was thrown blocks out there in the first half, lane people out, doing his best impression of George Pickens on a crack back.

It was pretty cool to see. And yeah, Amin Ra look good everybody.

Yeah, the Lions are for, I mean, they went into Lambeau and they were favorites, which is very rare. I think it was the first time in like, 30 years or something. Uh, so yeah, I the Lions feel feel good. There's nothing better than winning a Thursday night game and being like, free football on Sunday.

My team already won, that is the best feeling. It's we. We talk about it with March madness. When you win that early Thursday game and you're like, I can just watch basketball for the next day and a half and not have to worry about it. You get that Lions fans, you get that all weekend long, just soak it in in, like, Yeah, we're three in one.

And I'm looking at their schedule right now. I don't, I mean, they're, they're. I think there are seven and three, eight and two team, uh, going into the final stretch, like they, they don't have. They have a couple of tough games, but they also have some games that they should be pretty big favorites. So, yeah, you're right, Pft.

They might, we might be talking in December and people like Lines are just really good and we don't like they're not the plucky underdog anymore. Yeah, do you think people will start to not like?

But besides that, I, I, I hope that people don't turn their back on them. But we are going to get a full Friday. If you're a Lions fan, you get a full Friday of sports takes entirely about your Detroit Lions and how good they are. So even that wallow in it. Who knows when it's going to happen again? But you've had the game or the day after the Chiefs game and now you have this, it's a good.

But like the first one, I think people would all be about because it is a tortured fan base. So yeah, I think it would take a Super Bowl win for people to start turning on lines.

Is the clock at zero? And somebody explained to me, they said. Under current N.FL rules, the penalty is not triggered when the clock hits zero. The trigger is the referee's judgment after that. So it's a judgment call technically, because the clock the clock doesn't technically hit zero until the ref realizes that it hits zero. It's like a tree falling in the forest. Question And the NFL is a king.

They're the king of making simple things and and taking them and making them so complicated that you have to have a philosophy degree to understand. If there's no time left, it's very easy to do review.

BroWn I obviously had to to fake that. I was upset, but I actually am not upset because I actually think that's fair game. If you come into a fan's territory, you you can get beer poured on you, like once you cross the threshold.

We can't go on the field, you can't come in the stands. Yeah, the rules are there for a reason.

That's fine.

Now it took me three weeks. But I fully hate him because every time I think he sucks, he then makes a good play. Which was like, Wait, maybe he doesn't suck. And it feels like it's almost instantly the even. I don't even have to say it out loud, the thought comes into my head, I'm like, he sucks.

And then he'll do something awesome. I'm like, Fuck, maybe he doesn't, but I still.

That's what we need. Can't, can't have it be like, definite one way or the other, just have them be in limbo of. Like, he does suck, but he doesn't suck, he kind of sucks.

Well, yeah, another year and then you just drag yourself on.

What's happening? Because we have an answer, the answer is important, it's not having an answer. That's way scarier.

Yeah, we have an answer, our quarterbacks.

Some more revelations have come to light since then that I think we should address. Zach Wilson today, uh, he was determined to win over the respect of his teammates, and today he brought ice cream for every single player and coach in the building. So I, I feel like, maybe Zach Wilson might be the guy, uh.

That was fake, that was fake. Oh no, was it, yeah.

I saw a Jets player tweet.

I looked at it and I saw that it was fake. But I was like, but wait, I would. If he did this, I would like I would be a fan of it, so I was like, I, it would win me over. Like this information. Yeah, I mean, I guess I looked at, I saw. The guy had like 9,000 followers and he looks so fake when you look at his Uh. And also, I think one of his other tweets was like, Uh, the jets, the Jets. Players kneeled in practice today in protest of not signing Colin Kaepernick.

Part of our job is to be on the internet and to be hard, go hard in the paint. Sometimes you get caught, that's the whole point of being on the internet, so when people are like, Oh, you got caught, yeah.

No shit, dude, I'm fucking going hard. Three, 65, 24, seven, that's what I do, okay?

I tweet, I'm on the internet, that's what we do, I'll never log off, I'll never do. You can't, you can't be ashamed.

Yeah, it would have ruled well. Zach should bring ice cream to the team tomorrow. That's what he should do. If he's any kind of a leader, he will.

There's one other.

Nine people are winning it. So go today National Coffee Day still Blue Coffee.com. I'm basically Zach Wilson, I'm buying you all coffee 15 off.

Uh, should we talk about the Dame trade real quick? Yeah, fleeced Damian Lillard is a Milwaukee buck.

Uh, kind of crazy how it all went down. I read the whole report today that he essentially was like, Uh. When he said he wanted to go to the heat, the Blazers front office was like, Fuck this. We're not trading into the heat, kind of a spite deal where they're like, we're not doing that.

Uh, and then when it got to late summer, early fall, he was like, Okay, uh, that's cool, I'll just come back. And he was showing up to Blazers facility for the last two weeks and the GM, uh, was just not talking to him. And then they're like, Fuck this.

We're just going to trade him. Uh, and now the Bucks have Damian Lillard and Hank. You have to be a little nervous about this, a little nervous, I think, Damian Lillard's.

Yeah, their defense takes a step back because Drew holidays elite defensively, but I don't know how. You like, the Bucks now have a perfect three that attack you from all different spots, like Chris Middleton mid range, Damian Lillard from three.

And then Giannis at the rim, like, I don't. The spacing is going to be awesome. let's talk about spacing. spacing is going to be sick.

Yeah, as far as I know, Porzingis is still very healthy. Okay, yeah.

Yeah, he hasn't played that much, but I'm good to go for training camp, all right.

Because they asked for either Bam or Jimmy Butler, and he was like, No, we're not going to do either one of those things. And so then the blazers, like, Well, okay, we're going to then go out and try to find the best deal that we can get from any team. That's not the heat, so they they did engage the heat. But um, the only like the best package that I got, I actually don't think they got a bad package in return for it.

I think the Blazers did okay cause they got eight and.

Uh, but it is kind of nice to be like, oh yeah, the guy that wanted to go here and demanded to go here didn't get to go here. Like, it's a little bit of a pushback on on players just deciding wherever they want to go.

And the only leverage that he had was was saying that he's not going to play. If he gets traded to a different team. Something tells me he's going to play on the box, Yeah, I think he's.

No, not at all.

I think Drew was really good, I thought they were really good with Drew, obviously. Uh, you know, the year they beat him in seven, Milton was hurt. Uh, but yeah, they're always, they're always going to be a threat. But the Celtics Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown are in their prime. Damon's, you know, washed up, okay?

And person gets washed up.

Washed up, it stays healthy. Like you talk about spacing. The Celtics are going to be unstoppable Max if he's healthy.

SiXers I don't know, I don't know. Get James Harden out bringing Drew Holiday, i guess. And then it'll be just the same thing over and over again. To get losing the second round, to be like, Oh yeah, it was only year one of Drew Holiday.

I heard that the Warriors were going to make a play for Drew Holiday, too. There's like every team in the N.B.A. as a blazer. Yeah, yeah, from your perspective, Miami Heat Pat Riley is he done?

Yeah, I think Pat Riley might be washed, yeah, also.

No, go ahead, we're done with the dog. Your dog is the worst gambler of all time. I know he sucks, but I've been saying that he sucks from day one, his very first.

I, Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I've been fading him every week and I'm making good money. He's, he's over four on Thursday night football, taking a shit on teams, maybe he's shitting.

Yeah, all right, let's kick it to ourselves. We've got a great rest of the show picks and preview.

Order now at Uber Eats. Okay, boys, it's time week four. I. I was thinking about this. I know that we love the fact that there's 17 games in an N.FL season now, more football, more better. But I did. I do kind of miss the fact that when you get to week Four, you're, like, first quarter done in your head.

You're like.

We have 75 of the season left ahead of us. Now you have more time to make up that ground.

Things could go very.

We might be we might just be the best bad team.

So the Jaguars are going back to back London weeks. I actually, uh, if you're a Jaguars fan, is there a small part of you that kind of? You obviously want to win? This is a season you're playing in, but if you go to a No, everyone's going to be like, Hey, the real home.

Yeah, they keep winning over there. It's going to be tough, but I think I liked the Jaguars first of all, I liked them a lot in this game.

I do, too, the toy story game. I think. Ritter. Some people are starting to ask about Heineken people. The word Heineken is bubbling up a little bit in Atlanta. I'm asking about I am as well.

If you look at what Ritter's good at, he doesn't turn the ball over. He throws hardly any interception, I think at his first interception last week. So he's a safe quarterback. But you've got weapons that you would like to take some chances with. He kind of stinks at play action.

Heineken is awesome at play action, he does take chances, so Kyle Pits gets open all the time, never gets the ball.

Yeah, it's a matter of, do you want to do you want to keep being kind of like, average and being safe? or do you want to take a chance? Thinking playoffs? I think Heineken is a guy that would get you to.

So it's not all. Trevor Lawrence nine drops. Calvin Ridley has been coached. Up to the point where, uh, they're getting back to saying, like, just be yourself, man, just be like, just remember who you are. Uh, which is never good, Mr.

PARLAY Yeah, there. There's also a revenge game, too. revenge game for Calvin Ridley, Yes.

There is also for the Jaguars, never a good sign in week four for a team that's supposed to go to the playoffs. To have rumors about who's calling the plays. So there was a rumor that Doug Peterson took over the play, calling from Press Taylor. Then Doug Peterson came out in the press conference on Monday and said, No, that is, that is fiction, that is not true. Uh, the fact.

It was. It was a tough thing to lose the Texans and really get your ass kicked, but kind of by the Texans and their shitty offensive line, that was embarrassing. Yes, the Jaguars. I think Peterson's too good of a coach to not bounce back from that game.

You're supposed to be the Jaguars, and in this case is actually a good thing that you're in the London, in London. Yeah, yeah, dominate London.

You got it, you got to go and play in front, in front of your home crowd over there. The toy story game, I'm excited to watch the toy stories. Yep, I'm excited to see what they do.

The animation cause the NHL game was awesome.

That's a lot.

How good are the instant motion cameras that they're using? Are they going to be able to cut away during a crazy turn of events in the game? Do we get a streaker? we? If we get a streaker, what are they going to do there? I'm looking forward to seeing Booger dressed up in his whatever cartoon they're going to make, Booger.

Yeah, so we're going to have Booger on later.

That's where they're playing, so don't even try it, Jake, Don't even try it, you're going to do it still.

If it gets to me, oh, okay, well, what's your?

This game's at Wembley. Oh, it is. Oh no, this game's at Tottenham. I thought those games at Wembley.

Oh, it is that changes everything, that does change everything. Okay, so the Lunders back on, the Wonder is back on.

All right, when's the game in Tottenham?

Hank Elite Dual Screen Tottenham next week. Okay, so put a reminder for the over next week.

And she looked like she was.

The girls are looking really perky. There must be some good coffee. This is all due respect. I'll do respect Brooks, your wife's.

Yeah, very respectfully. Respect. Did you see Victor Hovland's hole in two? No.

Maybe maybe a real dimple head could explain this to me. So he hit a ball out of bounds and then hit a provisional. I don't know if it was.

That's not a. It sounds like you're making a lot of excuses for not real hole in one, Jake. Now everyone's going to ask questions about your hole in one, knowing how?

Betting everything on it, yeah.

Okay.

I'm dead, uh, dolphins at bills, Wait, I'm. I'm a little bit concerned about the loser behavior from the Jaguars. Reddit, though, that that that still concerns me. That somebody from their fan base logged onto the Titans Reddit and asked them to say something. Yeah, no, no.

Oh, the Titans, that's right, Jaguars. The Jaguars fan logged onto the Titans Reddit and said, Hey, we're supposed to be the best teams in this division. Can somebody please make a similar post on our Reddit forum? Just to gas us up a little bit? That's loser talk.

And that concerns me a little bit, and also the fact that I just feel bad for Jackson. I don't like even entertaining the fact that Jacksonville would lose their team because what would they do with that entire downtown area in the stadium? It would just turn into an open, open air meth lab, it would just be Florida, Georgia every year.

Oh, the bouncing, it's all right. It's not like the new office has a basketball court, okay?

Definitely something that has crossed my mind a couple of times, being like, No hank, we're going to, you're going to, you're going to swallow the key.

So excited for this game. Just a quick stat for you. This is a 12th team in the last 20 years to be three. And, oh, straight up and against the spread and be an underdog in a game. Interesting, the last time, the records for those teams two and nine straight up, three and eight against the spread.

I also, I know that, you know, if if if if and nuts were candy and butts, every day would be Christmas every week, if if and butts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas. If the Bills had beaten the Jets week one, I think this line would be like five, six.

Their rush defense is really good, yeah, and their defensive line is awesome. I think this is I also just.

I do too, and I love the over and I have to bet it. I also feel bad for people in Wisconsin and Michigan who have to watch the Broncos Bears instead of watching this game. It's like Wisconsin and Michigan.

Well, YouTube TV, yeah, you could do YouTube TV. And Minnesota has to watch Vegas at Los Angeles for some reason that I don't really understand. Everybody should be able to watch this game.

Like, they actually kicked the ball off at 6.

00 a.m. in Chicago and maybe the Jets Chiefs to 3.00 a.m. And, like, done a midnight madness of football. It'd be great back to back to back to back, right cause?

No, no, football is truly bad football at 6.

00 a.m.

We'll keep watching.

It'll.

I like the bills in this game. I I. This might be dumb, maybe the dolphins are unstoppable, but I just think that the bills. I really think that this is a perception thing from week one, because they did look so bad and Josh did look so bad. But the last two weeks, they've just completely demolished teams and I know the commander's yet to be determined. The Raiders not good, but still in the N.FL, when you demolish teams, that's different than like demolishing teams in college football.

And then last week against the Commanders there, they didn't even make an attempt. Their linebackers were great. Yeah, so I think that the Bills defense is good, I think they match up well against what the what the Dolphins want to do in offense.

We'll see if the if the Dolphins passing offense can succeed. Probably not to the point that it was last week, because Jesus 70 points is not going to happen again. What if they just did that? I mean, it'd be sick every week, but again, I feel like I feel like points are a finite resource. Like how Trump thinks that. The human body only has a set amount of energy, so if you exercise, that's less energy that your body will have when you're 60, 70, 80 years old.

Yep, I feel like that's the same thing with points. Without a doubt, they might've scored too many points last week, too many points.

Jake?

I'm hoping the bears are on the multi-view. I have no problem putting the bear bears in a small corner of a TV. I think that's, that's fair. We're going to get every game on, that's my point is, we're going to figure out a way to get every single game on TV.

Uh, ravens at Browns, Ravens underdogs, we've talked about it, John Harbaugh underdogs. He's been incredible 19 and four in the last 23 games, uh, against the spread is an underdog. But this Browns defense is so fucking good. And probably the most underrated story of the of the first three games, I would say, is the Browns defense being as good as it is.

We talked about the yardage to. The last time it's been done was the 99 bucks. Do you know that? The Browns? The Cleveland Browns, through three games, have only allowed their opponent to be in the red zone two times? Yeah, cause the Steelers.

Yeah, I don't think the Steelers got in the red zone against them. Yeah, one field goal, zero touchdowns, yeah.

He's a beast, and as good as Harbaugh is as an underdog, that's exactly how bad Stefanski is as a favorite he is. Uh, what's the stat here that I saw? He's 10 and 19 against the spread as a favorite.

Yeah, I mean, he was good last week, so maybe that's he's turned the corner. Just be smart, let our defense win these games.

Right, they have all the history, right? But for a while yet, it just didn't have the Browns. They packed up and then Baltimore is like, we didn't do anything wrong.

When, in fact, Baltimore lost their own team in the middle of the night to Indianapolis. And then they're like, Well, they did to us. Life isn't.

It's not our fault. Uh, I, yeah, I. Here's a little hypothetical for you guys, I want to want your thoughts. Would you rather have an elite defense or elite offense, elite offense, lead offense?

See, maybe this is just my twisted brain, because all I root for is bad offenses. But there's something awesome about going in with, if, if this Browns defense continues on this path, something about having a defense that is completely suffocating. It just feels more manly when you go into a game, cause you're like, they're not going to do shit, we're going to fuck them up. Yeah, you know what I mean?

Like, you can't fuck someone up with offense, that is absolutely.

That gets me all tingly again. This is because I've never really watched an elite offense, but still, it gets me tingling at the end of the day.

Defense wins championships, but actually it doesn't, but it does actually offense wins.

No, but I'm saying, how many points did the Patriots score in that Superbowl? The defense won that game.

No chief defense showed up well. Jalen Hurts dropped the ball and they returned it for a touchdown. Turf, turf, turf, turf.

Yeah, defense wins championships. I'll go to my grave, think of that. Uh, all right.

Next game wait, did you give us?

Yeah, he looks like a like Yokoch out there, like the gash is like three inches wide on his arm. Then you sew that thing up, yeah.

Yeah, nine last week. I feel like that might be a bad thing against the Eagles, pressured on 79 of his drop backs.

He hangs onto the ball for a while. I'm very afraid. Congrats Max, I'm just going to give it to you. 25 25 point win for the Eagles this week.

The defensive line is going to eat. You're going to, man, you're going to rewind and watch so many Jalen Carter clips, it's going to be sick for you. I'm going to be disgusted with it. I, I blame, uh, 40 on the offensive line, 40 on Sam Howell, and then 20 on Tony P in D.C.

Tony P in D.C. who showed up for the game last week, and he's not even he's not even a commander's fan. Well, he showed up. He's our king, he's our king.

This motherfucker showed up wearing a commander's jersey. You're a Patriots. He's a went into the day last Sunday saying we're not going to lose on Tony P Day. Yeah, well, you can't change your mind like that. I love Tony P but now I hate him because he's a curse. Facts.

I don't.

He's the one pure thing left on the internet, without a trace of irony to it. I love him. You can't help but watch his videos and be like, this guy's so wholesome and he's getting that deal. But I just don't want him to be a commander's fan. Is that fair?

He's a patriot, I agree. Maybe there's some blame to go around there, maybe maybe you, uh, take a wider view of things. If you're the commander's social team and you find a guy that's really been a fan of your team for their entire life, that has a big internet presence.

And maybe you lean into doing a partnership with that person instead of hypothetically. Tony PFT is what I'm talking about in D.C. in D.C. Uh, but yeah, okay, no disrespect, now you're trying to seal his business.

Yeah.

I'm trying to take a nice salmon risotto off his dinner table. I saw that it looked like a great meal. Positive masculinity.

Sam Howell after his worst game as a pro to go into against the Eagles defensive line. That just.

Probably 25 point victory for you, Max.

Our good friend Steven Shea is firmly on the hot seat for this game, cause he wished injury on. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts did a press conference this week and mentioned Steven Shea, not by name, but said A guy even wanted me to get injured. If Jalen Hurts gets injured this week, Steven Shea, he's done.

He's done, he's like, I told him, I tried to lay it out for him. I was like, you're going to have to watch this game more intently than the Buck Saints because Jalen hurts. Better be healthy at the end of the game.

No, not permission. You are, you're. It's a mandatory slap, okay, so maybe a shove, okay.

I just want to make sure that, like violence is okay in the workplace.

When I saw the film Breakdown, I was like, he is terrified of Eagles Twitter because he actually stands, not, I don't want to put words in his mouth.

And he thinks that all the buzz that he started has is probably going to get the play removed, so he's going to be a hero. It's loser talk. He literally said that he's like, I think that I started the conversation.

That will then.

Maybe one time a game, the tight end grabs them and pushes them for the rest of the time. It's just the offensive line being bigger and stronger and better, and Jalen hurts being a monster.

Nerd Nugget.

Easy win. And so then we'll be four and one, and then and then one's good and then soupy now if we.

Jameis Winston holds all the records for the box, he holds the yards, record the touchdowns, record the completions record for the box. That's the greatest quarterback in Bucks history, and guess what, even even better.

He doesn't hold the interception record. That's very impressive. Vinny Test Awesome, I looked it up, Vinny Tessa Verde.

I wish we were doing the show in 1988 because Vinny Tessa Verde had a season 1988.

He threw 13 touchdowns and 35 interceptions. How did he make it through that season? And it was a 15 games that he played and he didn't throw a pick in two of those games, so he threw 35 interceptions in 13 games.

That is the funniest season ever, that's awesome, that's so awesome. He had, he had a game of five interceptions.

That's nothing, that's nothing. But the beauty with Jameis is as as bad as he can be. And make terrible decisions and throw the ball to, like four linebackers who are all standing there, licking their chops like wearing a bib, Jameis will throw the ball directly to him.

He'll also throw that fucking deep ball and it'll be pretty, and you'll forget about every other bad thing that he ever did. Yes, I think that the Buck should have a welcome home video for Jameis Winston. I agree.

I think that they need to do a video tribute to him. It's in New Orleans. I still think that they should. I agree. They should have a watch party at Raymond James and then put a giant big screen TV on the Pirate Ship and then have just Jameis Winston. Highlights Thank you.

He'll beat the shit out of the guy in an elevator. Yeah, just Alvin. Just run the ball, that's fine, catch the ball as well, but don't you don't have to do whatever you got to do?

What's up with running backs and elevators? Just a bad combination. I think. It's just confined space. They want to hit the hole.

I feel like James is going to have some fun. I would also like to see Jameis Winston podcast athletes. Having podcasts is a big thing right now. I would love a Jameis Winston podcast.

Jameis.

Office offense has not looked good through three weeks. It's looked slow and now you have one of the best running backs in the league back. So nice bonus. And remember Michael Thomas?

Yeah, he's around Michael Thomas Slant Boy. Shahid Rashid, Is that my guy? Rashid Rashid Shahid?

He's fast, yeah, he's the best. Uh, nerd nugget. Well, the third time be the charm for Jameis.

Now, C.D. Deuce is gone, but I still think he's going to see that.

Uh, is Joe Burrow all the way back to the Titans? Actually stink this time? Cause I have. I have a couple of thoughts in my head, one is I keep thinking to myself. It's variable. It's the Titans. They always will look like dog shit at points of the year, but they'll keep fighting.

And they'll, they'll be there at the end of the season looking for a playoff spot. What if this Titans team actually just is dog shit though? And I can't catch myself to keep trying to ride that wave. And cause they are, admittedly, I think, even like their front office, they're in a transition period.

It's clear what they're doing, they're trying to get younger, they're going to face some guys out. Maybe they just suck this year they might.

And Hopkins?

Although he sent himself there, yeah, but still, yeah. But so he's going to be mad, he's going to be mad.

He's going to be very well, he's like.

The problem is not entirely. Ryan Tannehill. But he's, he's a part of it, he's definitely a part of it, he's a big part of it. Uh, but there's other stuff going on there and their offense just looks bad across the board, they can't run the football.

Nope, and so we'll see, maybe just feed feed Derek Henry this.

He's been using the Royal Wheel a lot. Oh, I like that, I like that. So even after the game on Monday Night Football, they asked about his calf. And he said, You know, we just got through it, we just got to, we got to just get back in rehab.

And then him and his team, that's him in Harambee, yeah. And they asked him about the calf during his press conference during the middle of the week, and he said, We're ready to go.

So talking about himself? But I I think that's the next step. In every quarterback you have to get, you have to go from the eye to the.

And uh, I think Joe is, Joe wants to play. His owner probably doesn't want him to play. Because this dude is allergic to spending money. And he's like, wait. So not only did I give you a big contract, but I also built. Like a practice bubble and we changed our playing surface. That we, that we practice on. Because I invested so much money in you.

And now you're going to play with the same injury that Aaron Rogers had before he got hurt.

I'm just saying that from the owner's perspective, he's probably this is the instance where the owner is like, don't, please, don't play. I'm poor. Yeah, he's, he's Kristen.

I think Joe Burrow's going to have a big game. I think he's going to start pushing the ball down the field. I hope so. I hope he's. I think we're ready to push the ball down the field. Okay?

And we're ready to get back. Uh, all right. Next up Vikings at Panthers Bryce Young is back, Andy Dalton back to the sideline. Adam feeling revenge game big time.

I tried to look up and see if there's any bad blood and the only thing I could see it was Adam Thielen saying I didn't want to leave Minnesota. But they had a different vision for me. And then he went on to say, There's no bad blood. I'm so thankful to the organization, uh, they handled this throughout.

The process was first class, so zero bad blood. He said that the.

Yeah, just take the first part.

Justin Jefferson is on pace for, Uh, what is? It's like 20, 2,600 yards, which would far eclipse Megatron. Uh, 1964 and 2012, and their own three, and their own three, but that would be cool if both of them broke the record. Yeah, I mean, that would.

Yeah, also when I was looking up passing, passing, uh, single season passing records, you know who's 10th all time? I do not know who 10th is. Jamis Winston, Okay?

Cool with 5,000 yards, five, 50, 100 yards in 2019, also the year he threw 30 30, which was the best season in history. The top 10 is just Drew Breeze, like six times, and then Peyton one.

Yeah, cause he's gotten hit a lot and I think he's just starting to feel you get older, you feel pain a little bit more. Yeah, late stage. Eli Exactly.

Yeah, he's self sack, maybe not the self sacks just yet, but he's in a he's at a point where he's self incompleting. Yeah, so he'll like, throw it out, get it to the sidelines and then turtle away and do a little like shrug away from the defender as he's about to get hit. Also, credit to us, not to our own.

No, Bryce Young, his nickname is the Gingerbread Man, which is also Andy Dalton's son's nickname in my book. Oh yeah, but yeah, he's the You Can't Catch Me.

I think that's what it goes back to. Oh, the nursery rhyme. Okay, he's got to get a better nickname, he's got to get a better nickname.

Yeah, good coach, I guess I three in 10 in the last 13, I think he's. I think he comes from the Ron Rivera Jeff Fisher book of being a stable head coach, yes.

If you have a tumultuous franchise around you, then you look at that guy and you're like, Well, at least this guy's not emotional, he's an adult.

So I have an answer for you. Football lifer. He's seen it all. Yes, all right.

Before we do the late slate games, a quick word from our sponsor. Proper number 12 rich and smooth, proper Number 12 Irish whiskey, new smooth to the core, proper number 12 Irish apple, which I've tasted on the college football show. New Chris and Fresh, Fresh, New, Crisp and fresh, proper Number 12 Irish Apple. The ad read doesn't have an H in here. They kind of set me up on that.

It's f r e s s, it's fresh, fresh, so I sounded like I had a list. They're founded by Conor McGregor. For every bottle sold, a donation is made to support our brave first responders.

Shoot your shot. A proper number 12 Irish whiskey. I have been drinking it since last fall, it is so delicious, goes down smooth, perfect for tailgates.

Order your bottle of proper number 12 Irish whiskey from Drizzly pour the roar and try the new proper number 12 Irish apple. It is absolutely to die for, so a proper number 12 go check it out pour the roar. Order your bottle of proper Number 12 Irish whiskey from Drizzly.

Now, uh, I like.

It seems really weird.

It is that was a boss move. That's what Paul Pierce said. Did you guys, though? So let's not talk about Chandler Jones.

I feel I hope he gets help better, I. It does feel like it's spiraling in a bad place right now. Uh, and then everyone tweets about it, it's like, Uh, this kind of this is not great, uh. So I hope he's gets whatever he's looking for help.

Oh, but he's on the case, okay?

He said that he was probably released by the Raiders because owner Mark Davis once saw him with two females and said, I see you. Marquette came over and gave him a soft noogie to show he was not as mean as the bullies Davis dealt with throughout his life. Who did hard nookies? And that's why he got released, because he knew his owner, soft.

And then you've got a kicker that's doing celebrations and dancing and looking like he's having a lot of fun. And then Gruden was like, I can't deal with this guy, this guy's not a real football player, he's acting like one. I disagree.

It seems, it seems like it was the Noogie, it was the noogie mark. If there's one guy you don't want to noogie, it's a guy who looks like he's got like a carrot sprout growing on top of his head. Because if I were looking at Davis, I would, I would think that if I gave him a noogie, it would just compromise the entire structural integrity of his head.

Like, it would just scramble his brain off. It looks like he's got a nice, soft head, by the way. I fucked up.

Why are you doing this? You're running up the score? Yeah, what the fuck you're doing? You're doing like a little pal, little boy thing.

Yeah, you'll get there one day. Yeah, um, I think the Chargers without Mike Williams are going to be in trouble. He's pretty good.

He's good, they've got Keenan.

And we might see Hoyer, the destroyer here. Yeah, NFL rumors. Oh, okay, I don't know if that's legit or not.

You know what I'm going to? Jake reported that Eckler's out, I'm going.

Uh, we sent our tickets to someone who had an Andrew luck. Oh, you have a nerd nugget for Chargers, Raiders? Yeah, 10 of the.

We sent our tickets to a guy who had an Andrew Luck tattoo. Felt bad for him. Yeah, there were no, uh, fake Super Bowl ones. That's actually good.

I'm surprised by that, but maybe that's more like a Philadelphia thing.

Yes, yes, uh, but yeah, Ramsey Colts.

Also, Sean McVay is just he knows the spread. That's all you got to know about Sean. Yes, it's actually.

Okay, for an L.A. team, it's a lot I like that.

Well, this is their first one, no, but I know they played at the Bengals. Oh, because it was a Monday. The Rams stay out, they go to the Green Bar.

I'll say, I'll say, find out. If they went to the green bar, I'm going to start fading the green bar. Yeah, we got to know where they went, all right.

Steelers at Texans next stop Proud Boys, Stand up, Stroud Boys.

Stand up, stroud boys, whoops. That was a mistake. That was that was my meeting after this.

Uh, stand back, stand by. Stroud boys. name your favorite cereals. while I beat the fuck out of you, Stroud boys are feeling pretty good.

Yeah, I'm buying, I'm buying everything good, yeah, the, uh, the offensive line.

Yes, and so I feel like this is going to be a lot of pressure on them. Steelers interception This week. C.J. May might throw his first int. I hope not.

Well, it feels, it feels like, uh, you know, he's been, he's been really, really solid, he's made a lot of good throws. I think if your power ranking the rookie quarterbacks right now, you got CJ. Number one. I would say Anthony Rich, Healthy, Anthony Richardson, Anthony Richardson number two, and he is awesome to watch. Hank was right about Anthony Richards.

I think we all need to take a step back because we we had a good laugh at Florida's expense. Last year. They lost a lot of games, didn't look good. Um, Anthony Richardson Hank saw something in him, Hank was the first person to say this guy can play quarterback.

And then, uh, yeah, probably Bryce number three.

Single Uh, yeah, also hasn't thrown a pick. The only thing I'm worried about in this game is just Mike Tomlin as a favorite road favorite, yeah.

Always a scary proposition. And I feel like this is a a really good, uh, benchmark game, because if the Steelers win this game, they're three in one. Uh, they obviously had that terrible game week one, but they righted the ship. And if the Texans win this game, I feel like it just completely changes their expectations. This year, where it's like, Hey, the AFC South's winnable. They got to get Andrew back some touches.

Yeah, this was going to be a tanking year, and now it could be a year where you know they're. They could be flirting with the playoffs. That division's wide open, divisions wide open, yeah.

The Steelers have the Ravens next, so maybe a look ahead spot. Yeah, those two teams don't like each other. PFT.

They don't throw out the record books.

Um.

So throw out everything. We just said, Yeah. Has Matt Canada been promoted to head coach? After his great performance? He's the owner of the Steelers.

Yeah, he's just going to keep.

Both teams should be owing for, Uh, it's crazy. The Bears are so bad that they opened as a two and a half point underdog to a team that lost by 50 at home, and now there are three and a half point underdog. Uh, I I mean, we've talked about it ad nauseam. The bear season is completely over.

It's collapsed. Justin Fields feels broken as a person. Uh, which I understand, because that that would break you. There was some, uh, backup badging is getting some first team reps. Who the fuck knows what's going to go on? Like, it could quickly turn into save your job mode at House Hall.

So, um, I have a couple of insult stats, but I'll just get out here. I mean, we just grow them on a tree. We have, like the member, the ticket tree. Yeah, it's an insult stat tree.

Do you know how many sacks the Bears have this year? Sacks on the quarterback? As a team on the quarterback, I'm going to not, not giving up, I'm.

Here's one you got a sack. Was it? was it week one? Uh, I'm not exactly it.

You want your quarterback to be the best player, the leader of the team. Yeah, uh, my concern. With Justin Fields, we talked about it a little bit before we started taping. But I just, I've never seen him really have fun when he plays, why would he? Even when they're winning, well, they they haven't, he hasn't won.

There's one time that I, there is one time. One time I remember seeing him happy. That was against the 49ers and that shitty game. You remember. It was like muddy one last year. Dove across the field and just like laid out in the rain with the entire team. That's the only time I've seen him really happy on a football field. I haven't seen him happy.

I think we're going to probably get to a calendar year. I don't see the Bears winning this game there. They have the worst combination in football, their defense is soft and their offense looks slow. You can't, that's, that's the worst two adjectives you can.

All right, so you're not going to reach that.

The Broncos have one last chance to save their season. It's to win this game. I think whichever coach loses.

And just man football, I want to bring back man football. Kayla Williams, Jim Harbaugh. Let Jim Harbaugh just stuff all the dorks in House Hall into a locker and just go back to being a man football team. Did we ever find out what happened?

They went through it, yeah, they went through all his, all his electronics and shit. That, to me, seems like it's not something that they would do on anybody that moves on from the team.

Yeah, and it was like, Oh, yeah, that's a good point. Because if you believe Alan Williams is health and family reasons, you would think his coworkers would be like, hope he gets better, hope whatever's happening gets better. If one of you had to leave this podcast for health and family reasons, I would be like, I, I'm rooting for them.

I can't wait for them to be back. All the good things. If you had to leave for something nefarious, I'd be like, not talking about.

I think that would probably be reported on. Yeah, I think, say what you want.

Their defense is atrocious, but so is the bears. So yeah, this game, let's just hope that this game ends up being a shootout. Because that would be fun. Cause there is in a weird, alternate world how much shit I've been giving the bears. And also the world. Being like, this game shouldn't even be televised.

The defenses on both sides are so bad that we could have a fun like Big 12 shootout, which would be awesome. We have like a 45 42 game you can make bad.
