What, what, what, what, what?

What, what, what? Let us be the last to wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving. What?

Stuffed Turkey.

All skeet, skeet, goddamn.

Speaking of balls, Jared took a couple of costly sacks as Lions fans were looking for the closest Sam Laporta potty. On Turkey Day, Jaden, Lou Reed and the Packers took a walk on the wild side this season, cosplaying as a shitty team. But now they're back to five and six and in the hunt.

Huh.

Huh huh.

Packers.

Packers, 29. Stop me if you heard this before. The Lions are back. Lose on Thanksgiving.

Down to Dallas, where Jamie Lee Curtis Samuel had a hundred yards. But he wished he could be trading places with Dan Dackroyd Prescott for the holidays. It was dacksgiving as they were branding cooks in some seedy lamb chops and Tony Pollard greens and leaving everyone. Kevante Burpin after 45 points. Mike McCarthy enjoyed the one day a year where looking fat just means you're happy as the Cowboys roll. Dallas 45. The Washington Commanders, 10..

We move along to the first ever Black Friday NFL game. Where you can listen to Tim Susan Boyle on Amazon Music ad-free with a subscription to Amazon Prime. Javon Holland Oates said What I want is to intercept, Hail Mary's, put the ball in my hand and carry score a touchdown. Yeah, oh yeah, you don't make friends with Salah. As Jets fans are wondering how Roberts still has a job.

We move on to Sunday, where C.J. Stroud-Mary was throwing, throwing, throwing balls to Tank Doll. Dr. Travorkian Lawrence had Texans fans updating their living Will Anderson as they got put out of their misery. Calvin Squidley was playing red light, green light with a Texan secondary scoring a huge touchdown. And I'm not the world's most physical guy, but if I need 58 yards, I'd kick it. 59 Dola.

We head over to New Jersey, the Meadowlands, where we have our beat reporter Henry Lockwood on the scene.

Yes, guys, I'm here in the Meadowlands.

Fans of the Big Blue were grateful this week for mac and cheese Jones. When Bailey's Irish zappy throwing picks and stumbling, fumbling, fumbling the ball all day long, Tommy Don Vito said I'm Italian.

I got to go take a pee ride. Looked like a number one back when coach said, You're in, pal Dorian Gray Thompson. Robinson decayed before our very eyes, leading him to need a walker to finish the game. Like Stu Finer. After a weekend of pleasuring his wife, he's half man, half fish.

We now head over to Philadelphia, PA. where we have our intrepid reporter, the one legged man, Max Christopher Delente Max. Definitely watch the game. The first half, Philadelphia Females were getting raw dogged up and down the field to an early 10 point deficit. Then all of a sudden, hale and hurt started making it rain all over the Bill's defense and eventually set up make Elliott to extend the game. Josh Giddey Allen was hooking up with 13 and 14 all day, but his last snap of OT got exposed as he couldn't connect with Davis. To win the game. Eagles win 34 31..

Hmm, make Elliott. That was an inspired choice.

How'd you come up with that one? He made it, he made it, boom.

Come on, dude, you gotta do it.

And then Ludacris came from screaming.

It the NASCAR season is headed for the home stretch. Who's up for a little bit of chaos? Hold on, a dash of drama.

Twelve in the books, Uh, holy, that was a lot of football. We watched boys Thanksgiving week.

Survived I don't know if Scott Hanson survived. Thoughts and prayers to him. They had to evacuate the red Zone studio. This afternoon. We were without Scott Hanson for a couple.

Minutes all-time football guy move. People were saying that maybe the alarm was going off because they were trying to warn us that we had Jason Garrett on Sunday night football, I would have.

Appreciated I would appreciate some heads up that is an.

Amber alert thing that should, we should have amber alerts for sports fans. Backup quarterbacks Jason Garrett being on our TV on Sunday night. These are the most important things.

Service with also if a like a starting running back, has a baby, yeah, or a wide receiver.

We decide what gets sent out.

Yeah, Jason Garrett would have been a nice heads up. I said. It was like, it's like watching boogie nights with your parents. If it's a big game, it just takes all the fun out of it.

Will talk about that game. Justin Tucker just missed easy kick. Is he washed? He might be.

Washed, he's on washed watch.

He might be washed, but yes, we are going to get to every game where we're back from Thanksgiving. I think that right now, if you, if you gave me a drug test, they'd be like, I don't know how this man has survived. He's 95 percent pepto-bismol and tums.

Broken, I'm all on sodium, my body is like completely salty. I feel like hank. I tried to.

Eat dinner tonight and I had two bites. I was like, I can't, I can't eat, I can't eat anymore.

I've been on that all the time in my life, so my problem is I'm trying to. I'm trying to start a new, clean living diet so I can get some Super Bowl abs this.

Year it's a perfect time for.

It and between right now Christmas, it's very hard because I've got so much leftovers in my house. Yeah, I don't want to waste. You know, there are starving kids all across the world that could use a nice plate of food.

Diet? Yeah, yeah, so we're going to, we're going to.

Astrology shit, listen if.

Astrology will win me money, I will be the biggest weirdo astrologist of all time, yeah.

So which one is waxing? Is that that's when it's coming in? Yeah, that's when the moon is starting to fill up. Gibbous in gibbous, oK?

Hundred percent, yeah, but the Lions it was. It was sad to see the Lions lose, but it was also comforting be like, Oh, yeah, even though they're good.

THANKSGIVING Well, so the Lions aren't that bad historically on Thanksgiving, we remember it when they do lose and it just kind of falls into place, but they're not the worst team on Thanksgiving.

Year, it was some like it was some deal with, like the motor companies, right? no, it was.

There, their former owner also.

Always say motor companies with.

DEtroit Detroit, yeah, their former. The former owner also owned like a network of TV stations and radio stations, right? And so we want to give them a nationwide audience to increase brand awareness about the Lions. And so he was just like, let's just do a Thanksgiving Day game.

Are, by the way, 6 and 18 this century, they're bad on.

Thanksgiving this century.

Yeah, no, they won a lot of games on Thanksgiving when, like, we weren't alive, yeah. So they have been bad on Thanksgiving. And they've had, I think, like a seven or eight game losing streak and a six game losing streak that they're currently on, yeah.

Thanksgiving Yes, I was just looking up overall records earlier in the week on Thanksgiving. And there's, there are. There's a lot of teams that the other 37, 44 and 2 on Thanksgiving, so that's what I saw.

Lions twice The thing about the Lions is right now, our guy. Jared's golf is in a little bit of a mini slump. He's had. He's won him one in his mini slump. You know, he beat the Bears, not playing his best game.

Football guys, so we know that the strength of the Lions should be their offensive line. Yes, in the middle of their line, hasn't been playing that well. Well, there was a lot of pressure on Jared like that.

Rashawn Gary is really fucking good, he's a really fucking good football player and he was everywhere on Thursday. And I do want to briefly talk about the Packers, and I want to say this has got to be a safe space. No Packers fans can tweet this at me. What I'm about to say does not count.

Into the playoffs, I think that for most franchises that aren't like the Packers, like our beloved teams. When you stink, it's a terminal illness, right? There's no turning back, you're.

Like, we just stink, you're.

Going to stink, and as a matter of fact, you're going to get worse, right? As the season keeps going. There's no cure, there's no cure for whatever you have. When you're a dysfunctional franchise, and then if you're a good franchise, there's enough stability around you. Where maybe you can keep practicing football and get better at football and play your way out of a slump.

Lot better he looks, his, his receivers are getting a lot better. Because they're all very young. And like they, they try to basically have an entire young team on the fly and see if they could patch together. And again, like, I'm not even talking about the Vikings being in the playoffs because we've been, we've been looking at. You know who's going to win the seven seed, now it's who's going to win the sixth and seventh. Because the Seahawks are completely reeling, and the Seahawks have to play the Cowboys, they have to play the Niners, and I think they have to play the Eagles, all in a row.

Around is his ceiling. I don't, I don't think he's going to be.

Great, but his receivers are now, like Christian Watson finally got his head out of his ass. Jaden Reed, like all these guys, that they, they. They really did him a disservice by putting all these young guys on his team. And being like, we're not going to give you one, you know, stalwart like old receiver that can help you. Like an Adam Thielen in the Panthers, who? Obviously that hasn't worked out well. Uh, but it's all kind of coming along here and they've strung some games along and they start to look like a real team. And at five and six, I don't know, man, I'm a little nervous. And they, they don't have the toughest schedule, they still have the Giants, the Bucks and the Panthers on their schedule.

Myself, if I were the Lions, I'd.

Be, and this shouldn't be used.

Against me, I would be way more concerned with the Vikings because they have the Bears, Raiders, Bangles. Then two games against the Lions and the Packers, so the Vikings have a very real window right now.

Yeah, no, no. But again, the Seahawks are the other team, like the Seahawks are faltering. The Seahawks look bad and they have some really tough games going, so we've been thinking like, Oh, the Seahawks are in the playoffs.

Functional teams don't have like dedicated rebuilding, yeah.

They rebuild, like, kind of like, this is rebuilding, rebuilding.

Is much like a the in the Hunt graphic, where if you're a shitty franchise, you just say that you're rebuilding. And then that gives you permission to stink. For that year, at least for that year, you have an.

Excuse I've thought my way out of this. Aaron Rodgers didn't make the playoffs last year. Yeah, I love, I know, but that's, I'll say, Jordan love better than Aaron Rodgers, but that's my worst nightmare.

That season, oh shit, I don't know if it's going to be a whole lot or or not very many at all.

So I don't know. He had 53 yards his first two games, that's crazy, so he had 2000 yards rushing in the last 14 games.

That's insane, it's insane. If you look at Barry Sanders Oklahoma State stats, those are.

Incredible. He was crazy. I also just didn't know that his dad was a diehard. Oklahoma fan, Barry Sanders was just like, Yeah, I'm going to go to Oklahoma State.

Good for him, Yeah, he's, I mean.

Though his whole career just not wanting the limelight and just being like, I mean, he, he should be celebrated. I know there was a weird cooling off period between him and the Lions, but I also didn't realize that he had. Two times in his career, a player on the Lions had to be taken off, uh, in an ambulance. One of them got paralyzed, the other had a really bad neck injury and that was like, they talked about it.

Play this. Yeah, good for Barry. Barry walked away at the top of his game, yeah.

Watch that documentary Lions fans.

Also, I know that you're thinking about the panic button. I still think they're going to win the division, I still think that there. I don't think there's anything inherently broken about the Lions.

No, it's for golf right now, they.

Had a couple, a couple bad bounces, the moon was moon waxing, gibbous.

That moon like, Go somewhere else, moon, you fucking. Why do we do?

We really need the moon for anything I feel like the moon is.

Washed because they always say for.

The tides Yeah, I think the tides have figured it out by kind of over, okay, so the Earth has existed for what?

They know their lane, like the.

Moon What does it do? I might have to. I might have to be anti-moon. Ooh, you want to go?

Anti-Moon Hank? I don't think so.

Okay, join, join the party, why not? Why do you like the moon?

They're always scared.

I mean, it controls the oceans.

I'm a big ocean guy. Oh, so that you can find your way for sailing at night if there's a full moon now, you're right, that would be.

Nice, yeah, and just the tides and everything like it. It plays a vital part. Without without the moon, we wouldn't exist, that's.

True, I don't think that's true.

I don't think that's true. So the.

Moon has always, I don't think we.

Need the moon for shit, the thing.

Is like the moon, we need the moon, the moon we didn't have the moon, we'd spin out of orbit. No, no.

No, you're thinking of, you're thinking of something else, we.

Should just let the moon off its leash, just push it, could we push?

The moon Yeah, just just ram it real quick. So the moon was supposed to be like the Earth's fullback, intercepting comments and asteroids, which it did a great job at. But the game has evolved to the point where we don't need a full back anymore, right?

Wide open down. When was the last?

Time that you saw a new crater form on the moon because it hit it, knocked out an asteroid. It's been, it's been years, it hasn't been doing.

Shit for us, you don't know about the other side, I don't think the.

Moon could play in this era the dark side.

Saying, Uh, by the way, Jake, could you please put a reminder in, uh, uh, the files for me that, uh? I need to make sure that I win my first bet on Thanksgiving next year. That really just that changes my whole mood for the day. yeah, Thanksgiving day.

Womped, Yeah, crushed the commanders. Uh, hand up also this Lions game snuck up on me.

Prepared? We have a. We had a little controversy because the packers didn't get a turkey. Yeah, they didn't get a turkey at the end.

There was another, How is that a theory? Isn't that either something that happened or did?

Yeah, well, I, I don't think anyone's going to own up to it. And then there was another theory that the the the fo, or, yeah, it was. Fox Telecast had seared the Lions logo into the Turkey, so they didn't want to give it to the.

Packer Oh, so so, Fox jinxed it.

Yeah, they might've jinxed Fox.

Stopped the count, this is.

Arizona and the moon, both things hand in hand. Uh, okay, let's talk about the next game. Cowboys 45 Commanders 10 This was such an ass kicking that the Dallas Cowboys hit a turkey in the Salvation Army bucket.

UP 38.

Like a job interview.

Like, a job interview, we're going to give him, which I wanted, except I wanted Ron gone, too, but I'm pretty sure that Ron's going to. He's such a classy guy. You remember how he went out in Charlotte, where they they let him address the team in the media?

He did a press conference after he got fired.

Yeah, so Ron's a classy guy. No one wants to fire Ron, especially not during salute to Service Month. His parents are in the military. Uh, and I think what is going to happen is being me is going to be the de facto head coach for the rest of the season.

Really good right now. And I know that they're playing some bad teams and they've had two big games that they've lost against really good teams. That basically the two teams in front of them, and the Eagles and the Niners. But Dak Prescott is playing out of his mind. He's had four out of the last five games 300 plus yards. The Cowboys at home this year are five and O for a combined score of 205 to 60..

Have to be in. I think the Cowboys could win a Super Bowl. Yeah, definitely, without a doubt.

And Duran Bland Insane is his fifth pick, six of the season. That's an N.F.L. record, and it's week 12. Yeah, insane. He has more touchdowns than, like, I, He's gotta have more touchdowns than Zach Wilson, right?

He has more than DK Metcalf because DK said that after the game he's got more touchdowns.

Also, Nance had an incredible call.

On the he did he was ready for.

That you're watching history.

Folks, yeah, he, he did have a very good call for that. But yeah, the cowboys are really good. yeah, the cowboys, I got to give them credit.

Could a hundred percent win a Superbowl? I'm not downplaying that at all. I still think the 49ers are better, I think the Eagles are better, but depending on how it all shakes out, the Cowboys are, they're in that.

Conversation Yeah. The problem for the Cowboys is that the team ahead of them is in their division, so they don't get to play home games in the playoffs, right?

At home, now, on the other side of the coin, um, I'm all over Tankathon.com, baby, I'm on it and yeah, big cat I. I'm rooting for the best for your bears. I hope your bears win tomorrow night.

I'm I'm cool with anything because the Panthers suck so bad and I don't think they're going to win another game. Yeah, oh, I, I'm good with that. I would, just I'd be fine with the Bears, maybe trying to win a game every.

Now and then, how the turntables for me, I was thinking the office about a month ago, or we.

Were just having a discussion out there. Obviously. Outside of Jake and and Max, who eagles and dolphins, I might have the best team out of the rest of us, right?

Now, yeah, I don't, I don't.

Manders, jets, patriots. And then Shane is sitting there in his sad Chargers sweatshirt, even though the Chargers did kick the shit out of the Bears. So you probably can't make that argument, but like, the Bears are not as bad as the commanders, the Jets and the and the Patriots. Right now, I agree.

This is, this is a a recent low, I was about to say, all time low, but no, we've been much, much worse than this before. Can you?

Believe that, like a couple of weeks ago, you're thinking the.

Office, that's what I just said for four weeks ago, I was thinking, the office I did the.

Schedule some, some. I've seen some Commanders fans tweet they'd rather have Sam Howell than Josh Allen. We're not going.

To go down that road, did you?

See that commander's fans you.

Can't even say many people are saying, you have to say I saw all. The person said that, yeah.

Argument. While Josh Allen has like, 500 yards of offense and almost takes the bills to a victory on his back, I do still.

Think that Sam Howell is the guy.

I do too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.

He has no, he. Our problems are not the office, our office of line is so bad. Um, but Sam Howell is not the problem at all. I actually, I think we're in a good position with Sam Howell this year.

Be fine, yeah, everything's going to be fine, all right. Next game, uh, Thursday night, it was, yeah, it was just, you know. The Lions Packers game was close, but it was the Lion scored late to make it close.

Be awesome. Yeah, I'm. I'm actually thinking that. Brock Purdy had a very good game, though he did, but like, statistically, it wasn't his best game. But he made some throws. Where I i. My only note that I wrote down on this game when I was watching. It was a simple question.

No, I'm not saying that he was bad, I'm saying that it wasn't like he. He was under 200 yards until that last touchdown pass to Brandon, which was a great touchdown pass. I'm saying it wasn't like Brock Purdy, it wasn't one of those 300 yard games where it's like, Holy shit, Brock Purdy's hitting everyone. It was Christopher Caffrey just running it down their face and their defense being unbelievable.

Think that Brock, though, is, uh, he's evolving in front of our very eyes. He might be a.

Gunslinger He didn't throw a pick six. That is a sign of a.

GUNSLINGER Exactly, it's, it's, it's part of the deal. The uh, neon green jerseys did play at night. I like the look of that at night.

The Seahawks are in deep heat.

Trouble they might be like.

Gino does not look right. And then having to go at the Cowboys, at the 49ers next two weeks that they're in deep.

Trouble, Yeah, it feels like.

This is going to what? Thought what they thought was a promising season. I was kind of buying them earlier. This season has derailed and now they have to start saying, Oh, we got to. We probably need to find a.

QuaRTeRback Well, it's nice when you have Kenneth Walker run the football for you. Yeah, and it's not nice when you don't. It's not nice when you don't at all. Um, the Seahawks are, I think they're. I think the Seahawks are perfectly average team, capable of having like spurts of good.

I'm just looking right now too, cause they have six wins. The Lions win was a good win, um, and then there are other five wins. Are against the Panthers, the Giants, the Cardinals, the Commanders and that Browns game. That they probably shouldn't have won, that, that, uh, they did win.

I think that they're they are like the they completely.

Average, the Panthers Giants, Panthers Giants, Cardinals, Commanders are four of the worst teams in the N.FL. Yeah, so yeah, maybe I'm not buying the Seahawks much. Uh, okay.

You know what you're doing, though you're writing, Gino.

Off, I am right, I will absolutely write Gino off. I'm going to take the Cowboys on Thursday night when they're at home against Seahawks, uh.

Summer is the best way to run the way you want, dial it up with new challenges and programs, and bring your workouts with you. To make the most of outside sunny days with the beautiful summer weather, I've been trying to stay consistent with my fitness just to stay in shape. For beach season, summer is the best time to push your pace.

Black Friday what a what a, what a game that was. what a game that was. Dolphins 34, Jets 13..

Boyle was starting the game because his name is not Zach Wilson. Yeah, they're like, Okay, we're going to try somebody who's not Zach and see if that helps at all. It was a good strategy because I think we know that there's enough body of evidence as to what Zach Wilson is, I think we know.

What Tim Boyle is we now we?

Now we know for sure. Yeah, uh, but at least he's. he's bad, but not in the same way as it's Zach Wilson is bad. Um, that.

Was that was an all time jets moment? Yeah, all time jets moment means. I mean, you, you were probably watching it with your dad. were you screaming? were you yelling?

Even believe it, Al Michaels, like, woke up from his coma. And he had a little, he had a little spice in his voice when he was announcing that one. Uh, memes in a in a weird way is the best part of your week. Every week when the Philadelphia Eagles win a game, because you can be like, we're the only team that beat.

Them you got to hope they go 17, what would be 19 and one? Yeah, yeah.

And then who beat them? 19 and.

One, Yeah, yeah. It was like, uh, the bangles when Mike White beat him and then went to the Superbowl and you're like, Oh, good.

It's cursed. That's where the blackout was on that, on that, uh, primetime game, I guess they.

Do play double the game. So maybe that's skewed now that I'm thinking about it. Yeah, it's so far, yeah.

That's what we need to do is match it up head to head, yeah.

But either way, that turf sucks. Yeah, that one you just pushed off it, just snapped, yeah.

Doesn't sound like Aaron Rogers.

They're like, Yup, yup, yup. Alan Lazard was a healthy scratch this week. Randall Cobb hasn't played.

Season talking about how you're going to go out and get to Vontae Adams later, just like.

That carrot has been out there, like he's going to come back, like if he had just said, Achilles, I'm out. Does the jet season look a little bit different? Do they get more aggressive? And this is probably more of a Joe Douglas Robert Salah problem, uh, than Aaron Rogers.

Think it might come from the top down? Well, I think it might be.

Old Woody is everyone going to?

Get fired. Woody. Woody might be involved in this cause, I think Woody, maybe it was Joe Douglas, I don't know.

But the backup was Tim Boyle.

Yeah, but they didn't go and get.

Someone else, That's what I'm.

Saying, like, I think that they wanted to put all their faith in Zach Wilson and not have. You know, he might be the kind of guy that doesn't do well when a clearly better player is on the roster with him. Yeah, but you?

Can't even think like that, I.

Know, but I'm saying, that's, I have a feeling that it came from. That's not Salah's choice, I don't think if it is that. If Robert Salah truly thought that Zach Wilson was going to be good enough to keep them in playoff contention until Aaron Rodgers got back on his own, Robert Salah should be fired, right?

But my the biggest problem in the whole conversation is until Aaron Rodgers comes back, why, why did you? why? why was that always the plan? Yeah, do you?

Think Aaron Rodgers wants to come back, even if they're not in playoff contention? Definitely not. You don't think there's a small portion that wants to be like, look at me, I'm Aaron. I'm the one that came back from Achilles in three months.

I'm still buying the Jets long term. Cause if Aaron Rodgers is back like this team would be very good if Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking for him. That's a fact. Their defense.

Didn't they interview Robert Sala right after that? Hail Mary interception pick six. Yeah, he was like, on his way to the locker room, yeah, like, what do you say if you're Robert Sala?

Want everyone fired? Fresh start.

The other two teams because.

That would be the new England Patriots and the Washington Commanders. Okay, so now is that sad, happy? Yeah, that's, that's a little better, yeah.

Third, it's a lot, there's a.

Lot of third, there's nothing.

Worse than that, because you're getting the third down a lot and nothing's happening. Yeah, it's bad, it's bad. I feel bad for you. Memes.

Jalen Phillips is going to hurt a lot because, like Bradley, Chubb was getting a lot of one-on-ones like that. That sucks, that sucks. I really was starting to feel good about the Dolphins as a team because of their defense, was coming along and looking really good. And now I don't know.

Chance to really get in a group here, there's commanders, Titans, jets. Oh, there's a very good chance. They're 11 and three heading into Christmas.

Me off, Can you just take care of Ron? For me, the Cowboys got me, I feel like at this point.

I'm not going to fire him mid-season. No, yeah, it would have been yesterday, it would have been this weekend.

Hang, If you hang a hundred on Riverboat Ron's defense, he will be fired. Please. Yeah, Oh, I would take a hundred, yeah.

A hundred it would just be.

Cool to see a hundred point.

Hundred Yeah. Also, people are saying Dolphins haven't beaten a good team. They've now put 70 up on a team that is right on the cusp of being in the.

Playoff, that was those Broncos, those Broncos, right? But no, you can't do that.

Very different Broncos I.

Actually think these dolphins might be better than those dolphins. That put up 70 points.

I've taken the dolphins off. Fraud, fraud watch. It will. We'll see when they play the Cowboys in a in a month. Uh, if Fraud Watch comes back, if they get killed by the Cowboys, back to fraud watch, yeah.

The dolphins. And now, with the division, with the bills losing today, it's opening up, I still.

Have the dolphins on fraud watch, but you can earn your way off. So I'm they can. If they stick to their details, if they show me some improvement, signs of improvement, then I'm willing to take them off fraud. But they have to beat the Cowboys, but they're still on there. I just want to say that I think that they've shown enough. Where I'm willing to consider their application for a for a. What's the word I'm looking for? That's the opposite of a relegation promotion I'm willing to accept their application for.

Promotion Yes, okay, did you guys see Alex Smith just like completely dunking on Rex Ryan by accident today? yeah.

I'm well. He was also kind of dunking on hank, too, with that. Yes, he made a lot of interesting points, Tom Brady.

Said that the league is mediocre right now. Uh, listen, we we watch every Sunday. There's not great quarterback, there's been a lot of quarterback injuries, not great quarterback play going on right now. But Alex Smith was like, Tom Brady, you played in in the weakest division every single year.

Rex even had to be like, he's making some good points. He understood. Like the jets were very bad, with the exception of what, like, two years. And the bills were pretty bad the entire time. The dolphins were pretty bad the entire time.

Even kicked off. And Tom Brady has thrown Hank a lifeline because Hank walked in today. He was like, I agree with Tom Brady. The league stinks right now, yeah.

Mean, a Superbowl wins a Superbowl win. But we watch every game, like you said, and there's some, there's some ugly, ugly football, football.

There's some ugly football.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. We had an awesome, awesome game in the early slate. Jaguars 24, Texans 21. We should do that thing. PFT.

Next decade I'm excited about.

It, uh, I am too actually it.

Does seem like a good rivalry that started in. Trevor Lawrence had a great quote. When they asked him about it. After the game, they're like, Do you do you enjoy playing against great teams in your own division and building up that rivalry? He was like, No, I wish that every other team in my division stunk.

South the young guns, that is.

A the future conference of.

Quarterbacks, young guns, the.

Young Guns, Levis, Mint Shoe, Uh, yeah, Men's Shoe, Anthony Richardson double, two headed Monster and then Stroud and Lawrence. This game was awesome, it was very fun, I was impressed with both teams.

Lawrence looked good and he was.

Using his legs again, which is good to see, C.J. Stroud also looked incredible, though. Like this was the. I think the Texans were probably four inches from winning this game, right on that field goal, bounced off the perfect center of the upright and doinked off. Um, and it was because we're.

Going to overtime? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, Stroud, Stroud took a bad sack there at the end of the game, backed him up a little.

Bit Josh Allen was awesome.

Josh Allen was great, He had, um, how many pressure, I think he had 12 pressures to use everywhere, which is insane. And most of those came against Laramie Tunsil, who's an awesome player. So I am very excited to watch the Jags and the Texans play for the next 30.

Years so C.J. Stroud was good. C.J. Stroud is like, maybe too comfortable in the pocket. He. There were times where he was just kind of hanging out and like, it's crazy to watch, he processes that good.

Here's a tip. Calvin Ridley's awesome, yeah, throwing the ball to him in the red zone and that would be a good strategy.

Yeah, no, they're a good team.

They're a very good team. I actually thought that the Texans should have gone for it on that fourth and 12. That's how good C.J. Stroud was playing at the end of the game, where where they sent him and dole out to try 58 yarder. I was like, Are you sure they're not going to go for it?

Here, he also looked like he kicked it way too casually, he.

Hit it too high, yeah, he got too much air underneath it. I think he knew the second that happened. But I don't think you could have put it more in the center of the uprights. It was a.

Crazy kick, the other, the other, the other part of this game that I thought the Texans kind of lost it, even though it didn't end up, I think the field. The Jaguars missed the field goal. But there was that confusing sequence. When the Texans had third and one and they went past deep pass and then they had fourth and one on. I think it was their own like 45, and they went another deep pass when they needed one yard. It was like, What are you guys doing? Yeah, like, maybe falling a little bit too in love with how awesome C.J. Stroud is, and he is awesome. But that one made no sense to me.

Yeah, the the game also could have been a lot different if at the end of the first half they got some points. The Jaguars got. They went for it with virtually no time remaining, and, uh, the Texans just bowed up on defense, that was. It felt like it changed the momentum. By the way, I agree with the call, I liked it.

Like going for it at the end of the half, when you, when you don't get the benefit of flipping the field. Like I like going from fourth and one on the one yard line. If the the penalty of not getting it is that the other team has to start their drive on.

The one yard line I just like.

Coach I feel like you usually get a punt back and you get good.

Field position you lose that benefit, but I also like coaches that say, if we, if we can't get a yard, we don't deserve to win.

This football game, yeah, Doug Peters is going to do that a hundred times out of a hundred. I just the math, and I'm not a big math guy, but I like I always. Whenever you go for it on fourth and one from the one yard line, you don't get it, you're like, all right, at least safety.

Safe, Yeah, you have that benefit, but I do I. I like the aggressiveness and I like believing in your offense at the end of the half and being like, Okay, let's let's step on their.

Throats Yeah, but the Jaguars are good, the Jaguars are good. Pete Prisco was right.

Big game, I think there's a.

Sunday night game Yeah, that will be a big game for the potential one seed, but yeah, the Jaguars are are very good and they will almost. What do you say? 93 chance.

Just trying to do the math on this. On a two point conversion, teams make it what like around. It's between like 15, depending on the offense, depending on the offense. If it's at the one yard line, you would think that that would be quite a bit higher, like 60 of the time.

You've lost me, but I keep.

Going and then a field goal is worth three, that's not totally automatic. It's like 99 of the time if you kick it from one. So I feel like the math does favor going for it on the one yard line at the end of that half. Even though you're right getting the benefit of, if you don't get it, you can still claw two points back.

Get a punt If you stop them, you get a great plus field position on your next drive.

That's big. I just I like the aggressiveness from Doug. Doug's going to do what Doug's going to.

Do he was going to do it? Uh, all right. Next up the Indianapolis Colts, who, if the season ended right, this second would be in the playoffs, yeah.

The the Colts are, they're just a fun team to watch and.

Everything's starting to like, look good for the Colts. Jonathan Taylor looks like old Jonathan Taylor. He was just running through people, getting the second level, like he had a couple of touchdowns.

There's a chance they hang on to.

It, too. What was their preseason win total? We just have to.

Remember, here's what's happening right now. I can feel it happening in real time. Baker Mayfield is very good at home, yeah, and he's not, or, sorry, not Baker Mayfield, Gardner Minch, who's very good at home.

Now they they, they're over under for a preseason, over and over with six and a half, yeah, six and a half good team.

See what happened with Shaq Barrett this week. Yeah, he.

Retired, but then came to the.

Game No, he, so he didn't retire. Actually, it was. It was phrased very weird, I think.

What's going on, I don't know.

What's going on with that? Also, I don't know how he cleared waivers, cause I feel like there's enough teams out there that need a need a linebacker. I know that his back's not great, but it was really weird.

Situation Yeah, we also had Jim Rsa getting into a battle with, I think First take on a Tuesday. He was very upset.

Black Mom Dorothy, Dorothy.

Blood Saw was my Black mom. She carried me in the house in Lincoln Wood, Illinois, on 1959 June, and raised me in the light of Christ. I would be dead if not for her unconditional love. She showed me that Jesus was my savior. I owe everything to her.

He went on a real, he said. He pulled like some of my best.

Parents are black. Yeah, he went on a weird tweet. Yeah, he, he was mad at first take.

Yeah, um, well, I'm going to.

Take Mr. He's an emoji guy, too.

Oh, a big time, so I've got. Naturally, I've notifications on for every Jim Mercer tweet, and they're 99 just emojis that he uses to like, quote, tweet, stuff with. I guess he's talking about the arrest where he had like $36,000 in a bag. And then I think there might have been some prescription drugs which aren't technically illegal.

Yeah, teamers, I just feel like, Jim, I owe you. It was, Yeah, I think it was the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and he was just going on a tweet. Storm. Remember when he got pulled over to, he was like, billionaires?

A Rav four. It's true, it's.

Very true, he was sweatpants.

I also think he was, he was parked in the median. Yeah, it might've had something to do with him getting pulled over.

Billionaires do get profiled. Yeah, it's bullshit, I agree, um, but yeah, the colts are good.

Back pocket, Yeah, when a backup quarterback comes in and you guys are above 500, uh, that's the mark of a franchise that seems to be in good hands.

Shane's like and Mr. Sir Shane Steichen Coach of the Year, all right, next one, uh. Falcons, 24 st.

Arthur Smith He took, he took Bijan out of the doghouse. I think you could say, like, he's officially outside now, right? Yeah, Bijan is maybe he's close to being off the leash.

Touches, 123 yards, two touchdowns. He's a, he's, he's.

He's going, he's awesome. I. I would like to see him as a bell cow. I want to see him just carry the ball as much as possible. This was what we were.

Saying all along, he was waiting till till football season really started. After Thanksgiving is when you start running your running back.

Well, so he comes from Tennessee, right? Yeah. Arthur Smith Tractor CTO Season point. He's using that blueprint right now in Atlanta. Uh, yeah, the Falcons listen to. The division is five and six.

Uh, they play the Panthers and.

Bears I don't know if they, I don't know if they're built for a blowout, though. That's the thing about the Falcons, their.

Defense won by nine today is.

Usually pretty good, yeah, but it was all nine it was. It never felt like the Falcons were completely in control of that game, yeah.

Close for 24 15.

Think I love Taysom Hill now.

Yeah, although Jesse Bates, like, was. He had the two plays, he forced the fumble on Taysom Hill and he had the pick six on Derek Car, which if you're going to play Derek Car and he's going to throw pick sixes like that, put in Jameis, Winston Jameis.

Winston is way more fun. Jameis would have at least done a better job trying to make the.

Tackle Yeah, Shane, can you pass me some thumbs? I'm?

Struggling, they also. The Falcons moved their offensive coordinator to the booth. So he's now watching the game from above because he thought that it would help ritter with what he got to see up top. So again, this is not something that I think I've ever heard of, until until Hackett did it for the Jets. But moving a coordinator up into the booth, that's gotta be the best promotion ever. Shout out to him for getting that done.

Needs some, too, he needs some thumbs, too. Oh, no, he's got to change that, yeah.

Forth, Who do you got a team of Quarter Rail Pattersons or a team of Taysom Hills, Taysom Quarter?

Rail doesn't pass, yeah, but he.

But he's faster, he is faster. I think. I think a team of quarter rails on defense would kind of neutralize Taysom's on offense.

My body is so broken. But then?

Also, Taysom Hill would like to fuck up out of quarter Rail Patterson on defense. I just got.

Like a flash of heartburn, I just and I really haven't eaten today.

I think my body's broken. 30 to 30 tie. What'd you eat in the?

Past four days, everything.

Bad. I'm like, I'm, I'm literally like, this is, people think that podcasting is easy, it's not.

Heart attack be a real shame. It would be a real shame. Imagine the numbers, it would be great.

Numbers. I promise you this if I have a heart attack, I'll do it.

On show Yeah, no, I mean I.

Will, I'll time it and I'll do.

It on air. I hope that you don't, but if you did, no, no, listen.

I hope I, if I, if I could have a heart attack that I like, worse, survive. I hope I do have it on air, that would be electric, it would be. I was just like, guys, anyone else not be able to feel their left arm right now, it'd be.

Way worse if you went home and.

Had a heart attack? Yeah, yeah, it would be. We're closer to the.

Hospital right here. That's why I'm saying it, Yeah, Jake is.

Cringing at this, but as long as.
