Now in the street, there is violence and lots of work to be done.
No place to hang out or wash in. And then I can't name all on your son.
Oh no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher.
Oh, we're gonna rock down to electric. It's part of my take has been about martial sports.
Welcome to part of my take. Today is Wednesday, September 13th, and Aaron Rogers season is no more possibly his career to possibly his career. I have very conflicted feelings about this. I spent, whatever it was, 15, 16 years chasing this guy, finally had made my peace with him.
He's in a Jets uniform, he's gone from the NFC North and four plays in Achilles out. Something I might've listened, I might've celebrated in my past life, but I've grown as a man. I genuinely do feel bad for Aaron Rogers and the Jets.
So all the years of you tweeting about Aaron Rogers, thinking about him, putting all this energy, probably what? Like 13 14 years of concentrated hate towards Aaron Rogers is not as powerful as one week with the New York Jets.
It's true, it's crazy.
The JeTs Insane The power of the unluckiness of the New York Jets is unrivaled in professional sports. I feel bad for Mike Greenberg. I don't know if you saw this, but he was having a little party he had all his friends over.
His wife made snacks for everybody. He was wearing an Aaron Rogers jersey. All his friends, his coworkers, all his friends, his best friends, all my friends.
And I was like, Wait, that's Damian Woody. I was like, Wait, what's going on here?
Also Dominic, also Dominic Fox. But it but like, I mean, he works with him.
It's more than I was. When Greeny said, All my friends are coming over, I was like, Oh, this is going to be great, I'm going to get see what Greeny's friends look like.
And then? But he just, you know, there's also his wife and his daughter, and his dog and his dog. Everybody was there, the entire Greenberg crew. Uh, it was. It was tough if you're a Jets fan, and I do feel bad for Jets fans. As a person who roots for a shitty franchise, big cat you as well, with a history of just dog shit quarterbacks, yeah, we know how this goes.
Um, it's very, very tough for them. Very sad for Aaron Rogers. But if I'm in the trust tree. It was also kind of funny, it was very, it was kind of funny that it was very. They had six months where it's like, we finally solved our quarterback situation, we're going to win the Superbowl.
And then?
Four pass attempts in, or was it? it was four plays and off for a couple of.
Past attempts, four plays in, it's like, Well, we're fucked again.
Yeah, it's one of those like, it's not funny, but it's also, if you object, like it's not funny in the moment. Because the guy's season just ended and it sucks. And I do feel bad for Jets fans and Aaron Rogers, like I said. But the more time we have away from it, we're like, Yeah, this you can't. You can't script a more ridiculous thing to happen to the Jets, whose tap have ridiculous things happen to them.
What seems like every single year they've drafted all these quarterbacks, none of them have panned out. They finally get a future Hall of Famer.
Their roster is maybe the best quarterback of all time.
Their roster is stacked and he doesn't even complete a pass.
Yeah, and you're right, ridiculous is probably a better word. The the the humor comes in just the sheer, utter painful ridiculousness of the situation. It's not real life.
It's like, I can't believe that this happened again, there's no chance that it happened again. And you have to look at that and just be like, Holy shit. When you say that, that it couldn't be scripted, there's one person that might disagree with you.
Big cats that is Daddy Zaslav on Twitter.
He should be Zaddy.
It's Zaddy Zaslav, he tweeted out about two and a half hours before kickoff. Aaron Rogers is going to tear his Achilles on a rain drenched Metlife turf in two and a half hours. Crazy 40 year old quarterback on rain drenched turf against the best team in football.
What could go wrong? Am I right now? That's okay, that's witchcraft in and of itself. Also this guy, daddy Zaslav, maybe the world's biggest hater.
I went back and I looked at some of his old tweets. He just spends all day replying to NFL experts being like, Yo, you should kill yourself, like, fuck you bitch, like, like, very, very aggressive. I like it too.
When we say that the NFL might be scripted, isn't it interesting, big cat, to know that? Twitter nuked his account this morning. Oh, he's been suspended from Twitter for telling too much truth.
He knew too much. Tell the truth, I'm just looking at memes face this whole time. So we do have Billy football on to talk about the jets.
Uh, memes can we get we? You weren't on for that. What's going on in your brain? He's scowling at me, I don't know if you guys can see it.
He's scowling at me memes.
It tried to quit last night. I said, you can't quit, He said. I want to quit. I said no, I tried quitting multiple times. And then I mean, you're on a Pip.
It's only a matter of time pushing you out.
We, you can't quit, you're fired. What do you guys all match? He's trying to fight, I'm trying to get the mic camera on him.
And he's having, they're having a battle with their hands. Yeah, it was one of the worst days ever. As a football fan, you don't think on what, what was yesterday's date?
Not 11.
Okay.
As a football fan, as a football fan, as a football fan. It was one of the worst days. Uh, start off great 30 30 yard run for Brees Hall.
It looked awesome.
Three snaps in. Is this your way of coping? You're just going to do? I'm just, I'm just retalking it. He goes down. And then it was just the Homelander meme, just watching the movie, just in pure pain.
For the rest of the game, until the fourth quarter, you won the game, though you won the game with an asterix. I, I don't know where, why it's become a thing that guy, like the announcers, are now saying, asterix.
They did it for the Lions game.
Yeah, Asterix.
Tariko did the Asterix for No Kelsey, Chris Jones, and then last night they're like, Well, Asterix, there was tripping on the who the fuck cares.
Oh, wait, did they call it? No, they didn't call it. The Jets are 1-0. There's no asterix.
You'd rather be 1-0 without Aaron Rodgers than 0-1 without Aaron Rodgers.
FACTS Yeah, so the same old Jets would have lost that game by 50. So there is hope there. But does it hurt a little more?
Because I obviously had this thought, I'm sure you had this thought. That defense is so fucking good that you, you even watching the game after Aaron Rodgers got hurt. You're like, man, if we had a quarterback, the defense is crazy. The Zach Wilson pick, though.
That was just a reminder.
Yeah, Mr. Int. Yeah, they should let Randall Cobb quit.
Yeah, right, like Randall, let's be honest, Randall Cobb came to the New York Jets because Aaron Rodgers is there. Like, is he going to come into work and be like, looking around?
Like, what you guys really do? I have to be here?
And there was the very funny meme of Randall Cobb seeing Aaron Rodgers going out for the season. And Samuel Jackson from Django unchained, holding a dead Leo DiCaprio. Yeah, it was like, Shit, that one, that one worked.
They should let him just walk away and be like, Okay, we know you don't want to be here, yeah.
So memes Are you, are you? Let's go back to you real quick. Are you? Is it going to be okay? It's not, but I don't know. okay, it's just gonna be the same as last year.
So I have a list of quarterbacks and um, we. We can maybe do. The ones that they should call, the ones that would be fun to call, and then the ones that they will call that they should not call. Yes, okay.
So Jameis, they should, they should call about James especially.
Because of the primetime games.
Absolutely yeah.
Five more primetime games for the Primetime Games alone.
Uh, tebow slash Kaepernick. Yes, they should be fun.
Jamel Hill Was she doing a bit?
So it could be the year 2034 and Arch Manning could go down for the season with an ACL, and Jamel will be like Kaepernick.
It's actually kind of nice for Kaepernick because it's like the old Egyptian saying you die twice, you die when you die, and you die the last time someone utters your name. Yeah, Kaepernick is never going to die, cause Jamel Hill, like you said, in 20 years, it's going to be like, Kaepernick's out there.
Can you imagine, though, cause Kaepernick, he hasn't played in what? Six years, seven years, seven years? So he's going to come back and he's going to suck ass because he hasn't played football in forever. And then people that hate Colin Kaepernick would be like, See, told you, Colin Kaepernick sucks.
If you love Colin Kaepernick, if you think he got job by the NFL, you should actually be hoping and praying that he does not get a chance to play anymore. Yeah.
If you're Kaepernick, you should do exactly what you did. Send out the message that you were open for a trial, but hope they don't call you back.
Yeah.
Cause it's way better for everyone for you to just be a question mark forever.
Yeah.
Then to get out there and, like you said, look like you hadn't played in an N.FL game for seven years.
R.G. Three, he suggested himself.
I want to make it clear, the funniest clips, yeah. R.G. three. If people missed it on a first take, this or no, what, what is it?
First things first, uh, get up, get up, get up. He was like, Yeah, you know, they got to go around and call guys. And it's not about being in shape like in the off season.
Uh, one of the one of the executives said, Like, R.G. three, we know you're in shape, but you'd be a distraction, and he's like, You're so good, you'd be a distraction. And he just inserted his name into the list of guys that should be called, Yeah.
And everyone on set was like, What the fuck just happened?
I would love R.G. Three. I know you listen to the show, you need to go out and make another video where you throw footballs at trees.
At a palm tree.
At a palm tree, have your wife say, Hey, hit that tree, and then you fucking, uh, you fire a fucking missile into that tree.
Knowing, knowing R.G. three. He definitely is trying to have them call him, and he's probably just sending the clip of him racing the the Uh hawk in the Seattle.
He's had a great couple of years of film that still speed.
Yeah, that was very like it was. Obviously he played in the NFL, but it's been so long that it's like, Yeah, they should call us.
Yeah.
But we would probably be a distraction.
We would be, you know, imagine the media circus that would happen.
Jake put out a press release. PFT and Big Cat Uh will not be fielding calls from the Jets for their open quarterback, backup quarterback position. Because we don't want to be a distraction in the locker room right now. Take us out of there.
Wednesday.
You can put it on Wednesday.
You put it on Wednesday, but just take us out, take us out of the picture. We want to do a solid. I don't want to be a distraction to anyone on the jets.
Mike Evans report picked up some steam.
Yeah, well, he did get offered barstool, but he's can't negotiate.
Um, Big Ben and Phillip Rivers, I'm going to combine them as one.
Yeah, Phillip Rivers, Yes.
PHILLIP RIVERS Yes, Big ben, big ben. We'll do the thing where he'll have his agent say, Uh, yeah, we got to call, but we decided not to do it, yeah.
Although maybe not like people were real, like they were actually throwing out Matt Ryan. Do they not remember what we watched last year? but I don't know if Matt.
Ryan would be worse than Zach Wilson.
I think he would, just because their offensive line is a big question mark and you're putting that right back into harm's way.
He can't move. Uh, Blake portals, I like that idea. Did you text him?
I did, I haven't returned. He'll probably text me back in a way, actually, he'll.
Probably when I text him about the Blake of the year, he'll be like, Ha, I missed this. Don't want the jets?
Yeah.
July.
Um, Colt McCoy, Yes, I probably will call Colt McCoy, cause he's I don't think he has a job right now. But if you need somebody to win one game for you, Colt McCoy, yes, come in there for one week.
Uh, Joe Flacco says that he's available to come back. They probably will call Joe Flacco. Yes, come back, Carson Wentz.
I think they will, No, I think they will call him.
Memes Why not?
You laughed, so it means you got so many page views out of Carson Wentz last year. And my misery. I can't wait for it to happen to you.
Do it memes? No, do it.
Why not memes?
No, why not?
You almost won the MVP.
He stinks, he's a one max, he's a pussy, he's a mental pussy.
Uh, but Robert Salah did say this is Zach Wilson's team. They don't have a plan to bring in a quarterback. I think they probably will bring a quarterback, yeah.
They're definitely gonna bring in a quarterback. What about Cam Newton?
What happened to Mike White? Cam Newton was bad. cam Newton interesting.
Yeah, but he was on bad Patriots team, bad Panthers team, Hank, Yeah, Hank, they were solid. Do you not know about the Lighthouse?
Oh, Cam, Newton can't throw.
PFT tell them about the lighthouse.
So there's a giant lighthouse, the largest lighthouse in America.
Uh, you need to go. I think if you saw it in person, you'd take back all the disrespect you've been throwing at us as well. I like the old lighthouse. the old lighthouse was nice.
The new flashy lighthouse is like, Look at me.
Yeah, um, all right.
Last point of a fucking lighthouse.
Last thing we do have to talk about Monday night football. Uh, Josh, Holland was bad, you was. that was not good. That was very bad. It was chaotic, Josh.
I do think it will look. I know people would get upset at us because we are biased. He is our friend. People do try to do a what about? They're like, Well, what about Dak and your treatment of Josh Allen?
I thought it was obvious why we're biased and we are very open with our bias in general. But, uh, if it's not, yeah, we, we. We are friends with Josh Allen and not friends with Dak. Either way, Josh Allen played bad last night.
He played really bad.
He was, he was careless with the football. His crazy Josh Allen plays are are. That's what makes Josh Allen Josh Allen. But if you add in three interceptions, it's a bad performance.
The first interception was not bad because it was third and eight, and he just airmailed it. Oh, it's a great. It was a punt, it was a punt, it, it. It pinned him inside the 10 yard line.
Other two were bad and the fumble was bad.
The fumble was bad, it's like he got it and then he wanted to pitch it forward and then he didn't. Then he ran into his own guy and fumbled. And then after the game, he was like, I feel like this is the same shit happened to me all over again, same as last year.
That that scared me a little bit. He looks sad. he looked very sad at the end of the game. Um, they? No, it's like, No, I was gonna say, Josh Allen, Mac Jones, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, all in one.
Yeah, well, I was actually doing it another way.
I like it.
Then you slid Mac Jones, all of our friends, uh, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Fields, you know, came on the show, Kirk Cousins. I don't think we caught a win. Jared Goff, Thank you.
Jared Jared Baker Baker.
Okay, we've got a couple of wins there, a couple of wins in there, but yeah, it wasn't the best weekend for our friend quarterbacks.
It wasn't, it was, it was a bad performance by Josh. And you're right, like, if you expect us to be open and, uh, completely, um, anti-biased, like bias free on this program, you got to find another show. Do you think that we're going to sit here and break down the all 22 and pick apart every play? No, as far as I'm concerned, Josh Allen's still much better quarterback than Dak Prescott.
Dak had a better week one.
Yes, and and I mean, he, he, it was his defense did it. Now we're just, it's true.
Yeah.
Also Doc friend of the show.
Technically now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
I will never tell the story how we were supposed to interview him again and he stood us up.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
I think we forgot to say that part, too when we talk about it. But anyway, Josh was bad, he was bad. That was a bad game for Josh. Uh, I still think he's a very good quarterback, but the the interceptions are starting to get a little worrisome. There's been a lot of them and he's got to clean it up and hopefully he does.
The the the old Josh Allen play that, you know, brought me back was when he was scrambling on third down, it was like third and 15. He was still like 10 yards away from the first down and he tried to jump over a defender, but he wasn't even close to the first down. For no real reason, he blacked out, that was like a blackout. First and second year Josh Allen play.
He also played bad against the Jets last year. Yeah, that's kind of have his number.
Their defense is awesome.
Their defense is incredible.
Super Bowl caliber defense credits all the all the draft evaluators out there. That said, Josh Allen couldn't play in the NFL last night. Take a victory lap. Yup, that's what you saw on tapes.
You saw something different, it was at the start of overtime. Did you catch? did you catch the coin flip big cat?
No.
So they bring the captains out and they have a special commemorative coin, and the official flips it up in the air. And he's like, heads. The American flag tails. Is the twin towers? Is anybody going to pick the twin towers? Like you had to say out loud, either American flag or twin towers? Is anybody going to be like, you know what?
I'll, I'll take the twin towers. It seems like a safe choice, yeah.
Yeah.
That's, yeah, it was entrapment at the end of the game.
That was entrapment. Um, all right, so yeah, Monday night football.
I mean, also great punt return, great overtime, asterix, asterix on it, the leg whip.
I don't think he was going to tackle him.
It doesn't matter either.
I didn't call it.
You're wanting to know, like the people who are like, Oh, another game decided by the ref.
Shut up, yeah.
Calls get missed all the time. What are we watching?
And they're in field goal range. Yeah, that game was not decided on the leg trip. the game was decided by Josh Allen playing poorly. the game was decided by Xavier Gibson.
Yeah, turning on, the burners shut up.
And the jets defense?
Yeah, and the jets, the jets defense boeing up, yeah.
Um, okay, either way. Incredible theater for a Monday night football game to start the season. Had it all, had it all.
Uh, okay, let's talk some college football, let's do some college football talk.
Texas is back, Texas is back, so officially, officially back.
I wanted to talk about Texas, but I think the the lead story right now is. The Pack 12 is the most dominant conference in the country, so they have eight teams in the top 25 right now. Five USC, eight Washington, 12 Utah, 13 Oregon, Oregon States at 16, Colorado's at 18, Washington State's at 23, UCLA's at 24. It's insane to me that the Pack 12 has been around for a hundred years and they just timed it two years too late.
Yeah, like, if they were, could you imagine if they could go to the rights holders right now and be like, look at what we got? They would probably get a new contract, but they it all fell apart. And now, the last season of the Pack 12, they finally have just a stack top to bottom and they'll probably eat themselves alive like they do. But still, Pack 12 football is the best football that's going right now, yeah.
Having all this happen, like the year before Colorado leaves, when they get, they get Deon Sanders. Finally, Colorado is like a marquee name in college football.
I think, I think Gus Johnson just lives in Boulder now.
Tough timing, very tough timing, and yeah, the, uh, the it is top to bottom, very strong. At the moment, I doubt that it's going to be like that at the end of the year.
It's still like, that's good for them and they, they have great quarterbacks. It's fun football to watch, that's. The other thing is like, it's not just that they're winning.
It's that it's very fun football to watch.
Did you notice this about the Colorado uniforms? They don't have captains, they don't have C's on their chest, they have L's and D's. I like it.
So L is if you're a leader should, or Sanders is a leader, D is if you're a dog.
Oh, I like that.
Travis Hunter He's a dog, he's got a D on his chest.
And no Lds.
No Lds.
We need an Ld.
What's better?
A D I'd rather, I'd rather be unless you're, unless you're. if you're the quarterback, I think you need the L.
If you have a D on your chest and you're a quarterback, that means that you're just like, you're bad. You're a little reckless, yeah.
You're not a good quarterback, so like, there's certain positions, like, I think you want to be an L. If you're a quarterback, or maybe like linebacker, maybe maybe like left tackle, maybe even a wide receiver. But if you're a cornerback, if you're a defensive lineman, you want that d I.
Think if you're a defensive tackle, having an L on your chest might be kind of cool. Yeah, like one guy that's like the one guy on the inside.
I wouldn't want, yeah, I don't want it, I don't want my edge rusher.
I don't want to kick her with a D or an L, or an L. No, I just want a K. Just for the for the meme ability of a kicker with an L on his chest. That's just asking for it later, Yeah, uh, yeah.
Quarterback, A quarterback with a D. This guy's going to make some fucked up decisions, yes.
Yes, either way, though, Pac 12. I think it's the story right now in college football. And then Texas being back, which I actually think this is officially Texas being back. Because, like, it didn't feel like the memes were so much.
Texas is back like they just went into Alabama and whooped their ass.
Yeah, it was an ass kick.
Like, it wasn't some fluke thing like, Ooh, Texas is back. We're going to get to have fun with it. When they lose to, like Kansas State, No, I think Texas is just a very good team and Quinn yours is a very good quarterback. And they, they, I mean, I was there, I was at Tuscaloosa.
Great time, great atmosphere, very loud stadium, which I talked to the guy who were sitting with and he said, Uh, the the afternoon games are not as loud because people just expect to win, but then it was a very loud stadium. When I was there Saturday night and Texas just took it to them like they were just better all around.
Yeah, they were, and Quinn, you was? A big question about him was like, can he throw a deep ball? Oh, cause his D passes week one, not that great, D passes in the spring game, not that great.
He had some questions. Last year, he threw some sick ass, deep balls.
That one that he threw in person. I was said, when it was in the air, I was like, What the fuck is this? It was it, like, touched the sky.
Yeah, it was amazing, amazing. It looked like it was a Russell Wilson pass, yeah.
It just like it came down with a little cloud on it on the ball, went right through like the fog and came down right to his receivers hands. It was awesome. Texas I I think Texas is going to be in the college football playoff this year.
Yeah, I looked at their schedule. They have obviously Oklahoma and the Red River s out, which is a crazy game. No matter what, you can't really predict that game each year. Uh, but besides that, I Texas should be easily favored in every game that they play.
I know they, I think they go to Lubbock at the end of the season, um, but I think Texas is so back that they will be at home. Oh, okay, even better, yeah.
No, they're only road games. Uh, left, they got to go play. Dana at Houston. Baylor is down. Kind of a down year for Dana, too, yeah.
And then TCU, who's also possibly down. Uh, so yeah, their schedule BYU might be the one trap game, just cause those those guys are big.
I sprinkled a little future on them winning, winning the title this year. I like it. It might not happen, but I think they're going to make the playoff.
I do, too. I think they're very good. And and on the flip side, this did feel different for Alabama, just because it's it's when Alabama loses. It's usually like even last year when they lost to LSU, that crazy overtime games like, Oh yeah, this is not Tennessee.
The the last second field goal, this one. Alabama was just the inferior team on the field on on Saturday, and I don't understand how Alabama can't get a quarterback like that. Like Jalen Milrow, incredible athlete. But it just shows you how good Bryce Young is because that, like, they couldn't do anything on offense.
Yeah, Saban looked very frustrated. you know, it looked more frustrating than Saban. TomMy Reese Yeah, Tommy Reese up in the booth on the phone.
It's just like you watching the game as it progressed, you could feel the Texas was like, this guy can't beat us with the past. I know he threw a one big one when it kind of opened up in the second half. But you could just feel that they couldn't make plays or weren't confident enough in the passing game. That they could just keep creeping up, creeping up, creeping up and not having. I just crazy to me. That Alabama, especially with the transfer portal. Like, if you put Sam Hartman, who's been incredible for Notre Dame, and Notre Dame, feels very legit, if you put Sam Hartman on Alabama. That team, like their defense, is very good.
They still got dudes, right?
But not having a quarterback, and also it probably doesn't help that Alabama went through a stretch there. Whatever it was three or four years, where they had maybe like, the greatest 10 wide receivers ever go through that room. Uh, it does feel like Saban it might be slipping a little. This is the lowest they've been ranked.
I think in like, eight years or something, they're 10th now.
Yikes.
Alabama and the in the crowd felt it too, like you could, you could kind of hear it. Like, when I was at the game, there was people talking to me, like, Yeah, we thought this was going to be a loss. Like, even when they beat, uh, Middle Tennessee week one, you could see that Jalen Milrow had a few balls, that should have been interception.
So I don't know he's, I mean, Saban for all. He's the greatest college coach of all time, and he does adapt better than any college coach, but he has to adapt again.
You have to have a better quarterback to adapt, right? Like you can't. You can't adapt your way out of it unless you run the triple option, yeah.
I'm not writing them off, I'm not writing them off forever. This version of Alabama is is not good, uh, or not good enough to be a college football player.
They're still better than, like almost every other team in college football.
But the SEC in general, is not looking as dominant as they have.
You know, what sucks about college football this year is the commercials. Oh, I know you're at the game, but if you're watching on TV every two seconds, there's a commercial in college football. And then at halftime, which is obviously like, spread out, uh, all across the country, depending on when the games kick off. You've got an OChO on every channel at halftime, every time you try to change the channel, there's there's a different Ocho. Yelling, spouting, nonsense to you. And then it comes back to the game, and then it's like, kickoff commercial, uh, turnover on downs commercial.
It's just too many commercials.
It's just the OCHo's are like the the the Riddler. They just say things that you're like, what did he say?
Yeah, you have to, you have to, like, stare at it like a magic eye poster, except for your ears. And trying to figure out. Oh, I think he's talking about a dolphin right now. Yes, oh yeah.
I can hear the dolphin.
Um, other things, uh, Wisconsin obviously lost. That sucked. I saw that one coming. I mean, if you listen to me on part of my take or pick them, I said, This game scares the fuck out of me. Cam Ward is a really good quarterback for Washington State.
I will say silver lining, cause I probably got ahead of myself. Luke Fickle a lot of transfers, trying to build it back up. Uh, they did fight their asses off and they got screwed by a couple of calls. Not going to make a complaint, but I liked the fight. And I think it's going to be, hey, just transition.
Hey, maybe they're not, uh, a 10 win team this year, but I still have the ultimate trust in Luke Fickle overall.
Yeah, he's a good coach, he's a great coach.
And then, uh, Hank was a Nebraska fan for Saturday.
Yeah, I was a Nebraska fan. Search for the Big 10 team. uh, one against Coach Prime. That was a mistake. Was that a Nebraska bar? People were excited.
11 a.
M Kickoff place was packed and then it was just all sadness. Miss field goal. I mean that that quarterback, one of the worst quarterback performance.
Yeah, he wasn't good at George Tech.
He had, he had three fumbles, one of which was just a guy in motion coming across when he just hiked it right in. Like, that's as bad as it gets. Uh, it was. It was a tough, tough week as a Nebraska fan, but I respected the passion of the fans. Because in my head, I was like, if this was a team that I supported and there have been this bad for this long, I think it's like 22 straight games they've lost to, like an AP ranked opponent or something.
I wouldn't show up.
So they were there and excited.
Yeah, I don't know why, yeah.
They're diehard fans.
Once it started, they were terrible.
Are you scratching Nebraska off the list?
Oh, they're number one at the list right now.
Oh, okay, who's number two of one?
Oh well, it's going to be a week by week, right? Who's this week? Michigan State? Oh, good timing.
We should talk about that.
So it goes by the schedule, it goes by the Big 10 schedule. I'm just trying to pick the best matchup each week. And whose side are you taking? Yeah.
Of our state of Washington.
They got to let. All the facts is he getting railroaded because of the buyout? Or is you should woman's sexual Harassment complaint correct?
You should, you should just go all in on being like, I've. I'm so happy Mark D'Antonio is back like, This is my guy. I remember all the memories.
Cause I think he is wearing a headset, I think he's, he's back on the field.
What are your thoughts on on coach Tucker as a Michigan State fan? I mean, I think it was a bad report. Uh, oh, which way? I think you just got to let it play out.
I'm not going to, I would, I would walk back this day, yeah. As a state fan, Max can give you some good advice on how to handle.
I'll say this, I'll say I don't know what happened. Um, it does feel weird the whole thing, cause I don't really understand non-consensual phone sex for a 34 minute.
Phone call, right? So I, I'm not going to make a judgment, but a lot of words to use on a like. Can you imagine having phone sex for that long? Yeah.
And he, he might've acted improperly. The fact that he put himself in that situation to begin with is crazy, like, that's just an insane thing. Like, you should have Mel Tucker if you did have phone sex with her, like, she'll stop yourself and be like, What am I doing right now?
Like, this is nuts. But it should be mentioned, too, that Mel Tucker does have a $70 million buyout. If he's fired without cause or with cause, who knows, without cause.
Yeah, who knows what the what the true story is, because his explanation seemed to make a little bit of sense. But it's like, also, if you're going to pick one person to not have phone sex with for 34 minutes, it's probably the rape survivor. That comes to college campuses and speaks about the importance of respecting women on college campuses.
Look, right, they do that.
That's probably the that's at minimum. That's probably like a good thing to keep in the back of your mind, like, maybe I shouldn't do this to this person.
Right, if, even if it's consensual. Bad judgment on Mel Tucker's part.
Yes, now also, I'm sure that, like, we're still in a perpetual state of waiting for the facts to come out. It seems like she has a legitimate complaint if her side is to be believed to. But it's like, I don't know, I don't know who's telling the truth, I don't know who's lying.
There's no possible way for me to know that.
And the buyout does, like it needs to at least be mentioned. Yeah, it's part of the story. it's a huge buyout. If if Mel Tucker was winning games right now, would it be like, would it be different?
I don't know.
The timing was really strange for it to come out when it, when it did end up.
Although they are two and oh so hank, we'll have a. You'll have a full report on the findings on Friday as a Michigan State fan.
Uh, maybe next Monday I got to see how this weekend goes, yeah.
Okay, dig into it.
Also, we we should mention, uh, Desmond Howard, see what the people at the bar howard on college game Day. When he lifted up the folding chair, when he was picking, Uh, Texas at Alabama, he flipped his hat off, picked up the folding chair. That was a great move. yes, that was a solid move, yes.
But yeah, college football. We got JMU two and OH, received a AP Top 25 vote. There you go crazy game against UVA. Yes, almost had a pick two at the end of the game.
The dreaded pick two to cost us the game, um, also in the fun belt, Appalachian State and UNC should play every year.
Every year.
That's such a fun game, no matter what happens, you're going to have a great time watching this.
It's my auto over. Yes, you, you went to an O on Saturday.
I did go to an O, yeah, northwestern, yeah.
Down the wind column, of course.
Yeah, me and Darren Revelle in solidarity. Not tweeting about Northwestern football. It doesn't matter who they play, because it's about academics, it's about academics, not about who you're playing on the football field. I would just hope that both schools have a high graduation rate.
Yes, yes, um, all right, anything we missed on college football. I mean, it's great that it's it's. Well, I think this week's slate is not the best.
Also, the the the lightning delay is like, I don't want to say no, you know what? say it? Can we play through lightning? go off, let's play through lightning.
You think, so, yeah, fans, that was crazy. Oh, good point, hank.
Well, the fans can opt in, maybe put on the ticket stub, being like, if there's a lightning delay, we're going to keep playing. The games were like there were games that were in Lightning Day for like five hours.
Yeah, I don't know, I guess you can play through lightning if it's in a dome.
I think we should just do like, a maybe we just we just do a poll. Maybe we put it on the ballot for next next, uh, November, when everyone votes for president, we just be like, will. Are they allowed to play through lightning delays? Yes or no? simple ballot question.
I mean, if they a Jets quarterback would definitely get hit by Lightning.
Oh, 100, I don't know, I just maybe it's case by case. But that was a lot of lightning delays. I feel like you just play through lightning.
Global warming, global warming, that's one way to get the South to be like, Yeah, global warming's real. If college football games start to get delayed on a very regular basis, then there'll be like, Well, we got to do something about this.
Why don't they just have? Every college football stadium has just like a huge antenna that they can put up when lightning's there and there's strike that.
I like that, yeah, also, uh, uh, the Ferenc offensive tracker on the air.
Not good.
Not, not, they're behind pace right now. Big time for. Is it Brian Ferenc? Yeah, Brian Ferenc.
To keep his job, he has to average 25 points a game, correct?
And seven wins and seven wins.
So right now, right now, uh, I think they're averaging what, like, 22 points a game. Yes, so he's got a lot of work to make up. The good news is for him.
I think they're playing. Are they playing Utah State this week?
No, Utah state was week one.
That was week one. Who are they playing?
They only scored 24 points. Yeah.
They need to, they need to playing somebody that they should beat the shit out of this week.
Uh, they are playing western Michigan.
There you go, so that's, that's my, that's my bet this week, I'm going to take whatever the Iowa team total is. Bet the over on it because Ferenc is going to keep his guys in, like he knows, in the back of his head. If it's late in the third quarter, early fourth quarter, they're up by 20 points.
He's going to be like, we need to score some more points right now.
Yeah, cause they also have, they have Penn State next week and that's going to be tough. And then obviously you just circle, like the Wisconsin game and the Minnesota game, those just scream 12 to nine, yeah.
So, uh, yeah, he's got an explosion this week for Iowa, he's got to start making some, making some points out there. Uh, all right, let's do hot seat. Cool Throne. It is brought to you by our friends at Coors Light Hank is sitting on the chill throne.
Right, this second cozy feet up game day just got a whole lot chiller. Because this season, you can take your whole tailgate to the next level with the Coors Light Chill Throne, the only seat specifically designed for tailgating all game day long, with features like Bluetooth speakers.

Okay, hot sequel Thrown hank.
Um, how's his Mike Babcock?
Oh yeah, explain this.
So this story was broken by esteemed journalist and colleague. Uh, Paul Bissonette. Okay, he got a text from Paul Break, Uh, Paul Bissonette on the Spit and podcast. He got a text from a player that told him that Mike Babcock was calling players into his office and having him pull up their pictures. And he was like showing them on his TV screen and just going through their photos, basically, to see, like, what they were about.
Should we do that?
So so he reported on the podcast, they talked about it, They said, you know, he got a text from a player's legitimate source.
Imagine if Jake had a cock picture?
I got nothing to hide.
You guys wait, like on their phones, like, show me your phones. And then he was like, air playing it to the TV and like, having them go through Jesus Christ. Uh, so that's what they reported. And then the Blue Jackets have kind of venomously, vehemently, whatever, vehemently, come out against a lot of venom. They put out a statement and they said. While meetings with our players and staff. I asked them to share off their phones family pictures as part of the process of getting to know them better.
There was absolutely nothing more to it than that. The way this was portrayed on the Spit and Chick Was podcast was a gross misrepresentation of those meetings and extremely offensive.
I don't know like you, Mike Babcock is saying that he wanted to get his to know his players better. You know what, you know what you could do. You could just be like, Hey, how's your family?
Yeah.
Do you have tell me about your kids? yeah.
What do you like to do in your spare time? If we asked memes to do that, it would just be pictures of Max Max's face looking sad everywhere. Are you taking any selfies last night?
No, no, no, no.
It is, if true, that's that's such a diabolical.
Oh, it's to make us shit, and obviously we side with our guys, yeah.
Biz tweeted. He said We're a player's podcast, you want to fuck with the players, we're going to bend you over. No spit, no lube, sandpaper finish.
Oh, hell, yes, that's a journalist right there, folks, that's a big J journalist. Get them biz.
Love that biz. After the fact that came out, that this wasn't even just a in Columbus, like he's done this in the past, that's crazy. I'm definitely on this chiclet side with this. We should get to see Mike Babcock's phone.
Right, what's on your phone, Mike? Yeah, show it to the press.
Everyone else's pictures, cause you had them plug in, it's like, Do you trust this laptop?
Show us your DMS. Mike Yeah, uh. And then my other hot seat was Patrick Mahomes. Oh, yeah, yeah.
He had a little fucking a man, right? Yeah? he tweeted. Uh, he tweeted, dirt. After the Rogers injury, he said, Hate that man.
Praying for the best.
He then edited it.
He forgot a comma.
It was supposed to be hate that man.
Praying for the best.
Yeah, fucking a man.
Fucking a man, Yeah, tough one for Patrick Mahomes. He's verified got the edit button.
Not my, my tweets still stands.
Is it still up there?
Yeah, awesome.
Fucking a man.
Fucking a man, Steph Curry.
That's all he's doing.
Uh, my cool throne.
You didn't even say Steph Curry.
No, but it was. He had a three and I was like, fucking a man, uh, my cool throne is USA basketball. Yeah, yeah, I had them, too.
So I have another one. If you want to talk about that, no, you can talk about it. Uh, LeBron is coming to save the day now.
Is this LeBron like when? because LeBron in the past has said, but LeBron's taken all the credit. He has said, like, Oh, the slam dunk contest is so awesome, I'm going to do it next year, yeah.
He says Now that he's going to play on Team USA next year, this is just an ultimate future me problem. He's like, he's making a promise just to make the promise. It's like Scott's tots.
Yeah, he's going to come around and he's going to be like, Yeah, but I just got done. Playing like full NBA season, we went to the playoffs, maybe to the second round. Do I really have to play?
You know what you know, you know, it's coming to. LeBron has recruited everyone, that that was the report. Lebron recruited everyone to come back. Coach K is going to try to fucking get himself in this.
He's going to get himself.
What's his son's name?
NICHOLAS Uh, the. It's coach K. That's the first thing I thought of. I was like, Coach K is going to weasel his way in.
Yeah.
They're all, they're all good.
They're all going to get the gang back together and be like, Yeah, here we go, coach K, coaching the boys up.
Uh, then my last chill thrown is PS fives.
Yes.
Yeah, Hank, we have, uh, we have three golf videos coming out this week. We shot them a couple of weeks ago. Uh, and in the scramble we did a four man sub par to my take scramble, four of us tried to go subpar.
Uh, that's coming out on Thursday in the live chat. If you're in the live chat commenting, we're giving away four PS fives, this is legit.
For we. I have one sitting in my house right now.
Well, if we hypothetically finish, I'm going to keep it myself.
Yeah, um, it's my PS five. And if I want to give it away or we have to give it away, we will.
I've got one, it's on my couch. It takes every ounce of strength to not just play it, not to just be like, I need to test it. I got to test it before I give it out to the people.
I don't want to give them a broken PS five.
And here's the beautiful thing is that when we go sub par. Uh, on the video, I will, uh, take a video of me playing my PS five in all of your faces. So you guys win. Either way, either get a video of us playing our PS fives or four people who comment in the live chat get a PS five.
We can play it, though, right? Like, even if we hypothetically don't go under par, me and you can still play our PS fives before we give them away. It makes it more valuable, yeah.
Again, game use my PS Five.
I've played it.
Game use PS Five? Yes.
Because we were going to go subpar. Yep, yeah.
Uh, okay, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, it's part of my tick YouTube.
Oh, would you? oh, ripping them like that?
So what's the order of the Rider Cup?
Yeah.
What order are the videos dropping? Uh, tonight is our Wednesday night Tonight Silent Scramble, Me and PFT versus Big Cat and Jake.
No one's allowed to speak.
Hmm.
Thursday night sub part of my tick scramble Saturday speed golf, which was quite something exhausting.
It's going to be a banger of a video. All of them well, but I think that was the most fun.
I think the first one's going to be great.
They're all going to be great.
Yeah, they're all sounds scramble, yeah.
They're all going to be great. Uh, okay, pft your hot seat, cool throat.
Uh, my hot seat is Travis Kelsey. Ooh, Travis Kelce is on the hot seat. Cause he's been rumored to be actually dating Taylor Swift. Ooh. Remember after he went to their their concert and he was like, Hey, I was trying to find you, give you my number. Turns out they chatted Loki.
They've actually been seeing each other quietly, is what the report said. They've been quietly seeing each other. And so, uh, Travis, obviously on the hot seat for obvious reasons. Uh, Taylor, Swiss fans are fucking insane.
And this is coming from a guy who had his most recent super fan go to prison for 30 years for bank robberies. Swifties are way more dangerous than, yeah, I would say she's a.
Holocan Kelly keys in the same conversation. Probably, probably.
And, uh, I can't wait for Taylor's next album to come out so we can analyze the lyrics, see which ones are about Travis Kelsey. I think it's going to be, it's going to be, it's going to be 1989 reissued, right, the Taylor's version. So it's all old songs, but I'm going to go through all of them and pretend like they're all written about Travis.
Kelsey makes me an announcement tonight, performing at the VMAS and.
She's reportedly that's what. If you're over the age of 30, I'm begging you do not watch the VMAS. They make you feel so old, just a constant night of who are these people?
Yeah.
That's I, I don't want to do that. Uh, okay, who's your cool throne?
My cool throne is going to be USA basketball.
Yes.
Yes.
Um, okay, my hot seat is first of all. The awl is because they're a bunch of sickos and perverts. How many people watch the The UH episode on Monday?
It was a hundred k in less than 12 hours.
So thank you, hopefully everyone subscribes, please subscribe.
But yeah, you guys are 150 right now.
You guys are perverts, you're perverts, but that's subscribe, though, that that's really the point is, if you enjoy watching us, uh, be miserable, please subscribe.
We'll be very miserable this year.
Please subscribe. Uh, and then my other hot seat is, uh, Joe Biden, because, uh, President Trump has, uh, declared that he is ready for a fitness test against him.
Need this?
I need social, he wrote. I will name the place in the test so he gets to decide the test and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me. We can also throw some physical activity into it.
I just won the senior club championship at a big golf club with many very good players. To do so, you need strength, accuracy, touch and, above all, mental tough toughness. Ask Brett Bear, a very good golfer. The Wall Street Journal and Fox are damaged goods after their failed to St. Timonius push and a stupid $780 million settlement. Morons.
I would love to see an N.F.L. combine for presidents. Yeah, like, have them run the 40 yard dash, do the three cone drill, broad jump, I mean, you need jump.
Wonder like, Test, what's the one that that U.M. Bryce, or that C.J. Stroud did bad at the recognition test? Biden would put up some C.J. Stroud type numbers?
They should just play. Guess who?
Yeah.
The uh, strength, accuracy, touch and, above all, mental toughness.
They should play golf at Bedminster. Wait, would Trump shoot like a 71 the other week? Couldn't you just fix the six handicaps?
I don't understand how the debt ceiling works and everything, but if you did a pay-per-view, yeah, $50 pay-per-view. To decide the next President Golf match, what are the six? I feel like we'd be out of debt.
What are the six handicaps? Hank dementia, Alzheimer's vertigo? Balance hair, sniffing, hair, son.
Either way, I'm ready for the physical challenge, I'm ready for the physical challenge.
I would also like to see Hunter Biden and Donald Trump Jr. get into the ring together.
Yeah.
Or Barron, or Barron to Barron. Okay, Barron might play on the USA basketball team next year.
He's a soccer guy, though.
How awesome would that be if if Barron Trump was the first overall pick in the N.B.A. draft?
And we were right.
We were right, let's get a Cooper flag, a Cooper flag.
Uh, all right. And then my cool throne is Skip Bayless because Shannon Sharp can't stop calling Stephen a Smith skip. He did it again today. That has to feel so good if you're Skip Bayless. To be like, my ex is just thinking about me all the time.
It was so funny because it happened the first week and now we're whatever, two or three weeks into them, doing a show together. And you can see how angry Shannon Sharp is at himself when he does it.
Yeah, and it's usually in a moment where he's like, upset at skip at Shannon Sharp, or sorry, where Shannon Sharp is like, upset at Stephen A. Smith. And just in his reflex. And when he's pissed off at another guy and arguing, he just calls him skip. Like, if you've ever had a dog, you'll call your next dog by your previous dog's name. Usually, when they're doing something they shouldn't be doing.
Yeah, I mess up my kid's names all the time, like that, yeah.
Like, Leroy, get down, Yeah, oh wait, that's Blake. It's when you're mad, all right?
Everything you just said. And he needs to stay his ass off social media.
Because here's the thing.
It's just Steve, Steve, hey.
Seven years, bro, it's okay, don't listen.
Don't worry about them, don't break that bracelet. No, that's what I'm talking about.
He's like trying to coach him through, He's like, don't worry, yeah, just kind of have a long relationship, it's okay.
Is that going to happen now? With skip is? uh, is Keyshawn going to call? No? skip would never. It's not, as it's not as easy to say, like, Stephen, a skip just rolls right off.
Come on, skip, yeah.
Either way, that's a big win for Skip. Yeah, uh, all right, Jake finishes off hot seat.
Cool.
Uh, my hot seat is Brian Dable, uh. Reportedly, he threw a party at his house Saturday night.
Oh, who reports this?
Uh, Michael K.
Okay, so they all should worry about the Yankees.
They lost 40.
40 love.
Nice, Oh, you see you ripping from Frank Tank now, why? He tweeted that he was like homage to the U S Open. The Giants are down 40. Love.
Yup.
Uh, but the party probably rocked.
Yeah.
Also as a Nike.
Yeah, yeah, they have plenty of time to recover, yeah.
That's fine.
Wait, were the players there? I don't know, but I think you coach should be allowed to have a party before.
Game losing 40 to nothing is just so work is done.
Yeah.
Who are the giants play this week? Uh, that's gotta be. I mean, you have to imagine if they go a couple of weeks, they're at the Cardinals. Oh, okay, so let's get right.
Let's get right, yeah, yeah, let's get right. uh okay.
So the videos of the Cardinals from so some people put together some compilations of the cardinals against, uh, the commanders. They I told you after the game, like they were trying to hurt Sam, how they really were. Like. That defense is going to be, you don't want to play against the Cardinals defense this year. You might beat them, but they're going to beat the shit out.
That one clip when the guy put Sam Howell in, uh, yeah, and just dropped his head with something else. All right, what's your cool throne?
Oh, my cool throne is the wild meter. So they got your team, the Chicago Cubs. They called up the number one prospect, Pete Crow Armstrong.
Yes.
His mom was an actress, or, I don't know, was still is the mom in little big League tour.
Thespian.
I think they're all actors now that happened recently. Oh wow.
Yeah, okay, my apologies. Yep.
Uh, please correct that. yep, maybe notes app, yep.
She was the mom in little, big league, yes.
But she was crazy.
She was great movie.
Would be cool if she was the mom and rookie of the year.
Yeah.
But Little Big League was also awesome.
Oh, I thought the entire time that she was the mom. And the one about that's not that wild, that's not that wild. Little Big League Better movie.
I think, yeah, yeah, so it's not even that wild. I'm off now.
Not that wild jig.
I thought she was called if she, if. If. If Pete Crow Armstrong was on the Twins, it would be Wild Meter off the charts.
They should trade him to the twins, yeah.
Or she should get her IMDBs changed to be the Mom in Rookie of the year.
The mom and Rookie of the Year. You don't want to mess with her. She threw the stepdad out of the house, right? or the boyfriend.
Yeah, no, she was a badass bitch. yeah, she was a girl boss.
I like both of them, yeah.
So, yeah, both actors? Yeah, no, it's it's big, big call up.
Big call up.
Cubs are fighting.
Cubs Philly's collision course.
Oh man, Max muttered the other day. He's like, I'm sick of these fucking Inter podcast things.
