Welcome to part of my take. Today is Friday, November 10th. And that was football.

The Carolina Panthers have the first overall pick in the draft.

Yeah, that was football-ish.

But the Bears are back. Are you guys first in the draft now?

Let's pull it up, yeah, because the Cardinals obviously haven't played.

If the season ended today.

The Bears now are the fifth pick. The Patriots giants have both leapfrogged the Bears. So updated to the. It was the draft bowl where the Bears were playing against the that they had their first pick, it was sort of football.

Not good, nobody was good tonight, really. Cairo Santos was good.

Cairo Santos was good.

Your punter was mostly good.

Dr. Foreman was good, DJ Moore had some flashes and the refs are motherfuckers because we had not only the fake. Probably the meanest thing you can do in all football when a kick return happens against your team. And then the graphic shows flag. Because it's always going to be like, Oh, it's coming back.

Panthers, we learned tonight, are not really built to come from behind, they're not really built to do anything now that I think of it.

The bears kind of are, the bears are down 10-3..

Definitely built to come from behind, they're an aired out team. BRYCE Young There's still not a lot to be optimistic about if you're a Carolina Panthers fan. Actually, no, I'm going to change that. We did put them first in our future misery draft.

He's a micromanager.

It is 10-29 p.

Yeah, it was right down the middle.

And then Pinheiro looked over at the side and kind of shrugged, like, What do you want me to do?

Yeah, what the fuck do you guys want me to do?

You knew how long my field goals were, I told you what my limit was, you sent me out anyways. That seemed like a desperation move by Frank Reich, being like, Maybe I'll just kick it farther. This time, Frank Reich knew that his kicker wasn't going to make that.

And he probably knew because Eddie Pinheiro played for the Bears. He probably was like, No, I've never made it.

I can't do this on this field, not in this stadium. Yeah, no.

Also, that last drive by the Panthers perfectly summed up the game because it was 15 plays, 50 yards.

Yeah.

That's hard to do.

It was a drive to nowhere.

That's hard to do to get feet. That means that every first down, you're basically just barely getting a first down, which they did. It took five and a half minutes, and yeah, that was, let's just say this, okay, let's put it all, let's reset.

Cool dad, he's got a great dad.

Great dad. Maybe it'll be the backup for the Bears for a long time. That'd be great because I am rooting for him. Awesome story, this idea that he's a starter.

That's going to be nice.

And then the Monday night football game, after that is Chiefs Eagles, that's nice. And then we get three games on Thanksgiving, as is tradition, and then we get bonus football on Black Friday.

This is Hell week.

It's hell week.

And you know what Hell week, you look back on it, you know, like, 10 years after you graduate college, and you're like, Hell, week rocked. Yeah, but in in when you're in the shit, you think it sucks. But this is football and we love football and I would never say anything bad about football.

Look at this Week 13 Seahawks Cowboys on Thursday night.

There we go.

That's good.

Things are looking good.

If you're a football fan, then we're going to do Patriots, Steelers, I wouldn't. We can't get too far ahead of ourselves.

No, we've got some great games coming up.

Yeah, we do have some great games on Thursday. Uh, the uh, December week 14 December 7th Patriots, Steelers and Chargers Raiders. Well, I'm going to stop doing this, it's going to start bugging me out.

Yeah, it was funny when he said, Uh, it looks like they're going to try the tush push with Bryce Young, except he doesn't have that much tush to push. Yeah, that was good, yeah.

So skinny daddy.

Bajan, Daddy, Bajan, Daddy, Bajan got a little horny at the end.

We got a little al after dark, yeah.

Daddy Bajan Um, yeah, that was football.

Yeah, and and I love football.

I love football. Uh, okay, that's it really. Should we do what?

It's the perfect preview to run with Sam because Sam definitely levels it out. The interview with him is awesome and I just love talking to Sam. He will make you smarter about football, yeah.

And everyone, please tweet Sam after and say, Great job on part of my take. We need you back on. Yep, let's boost them up.

I used it for concerts a couple of weeks ago, actually.

It's the best. So Game Time is the only ticketing app that gives you complete peace of mind with your purchase. See the view from your seat before you buy so you know exactly what to expect when you arrive, all in prices.

We've reached over the halfway point, we know what that means. We're just rounding in shape right now, yes.

And so just a disclaimer for everyone listening at home, you heard us obviously talk about the Bears panthers to start the show. This is how we do the Friday show, we tape the week 10 preview in the afternoon and we watch the game, then we finish the beginning of the show.

That's fine, though. Those are some of the best shows that we do, yeah.

I want it, I want the disclaimer. So when we say something stupid and everyone's like, you fucking idiots, it's like, Listen, guys, I think in this room.

I completely forgotten what I did an hour ago, and it took about five minutes worth of our time to do it completely. In one ear, out the other, my brain's not operating. But I do think that sometimes when we get loopy on the show and we get into our dumbest modes.

I live.

It's when, yeah.

I was at a work event till 2 30 a.

You were at the bar.

You live in the dumb zone. Yeah, yeah.

I'm never sharp, I'm always loopy.

You were born into it. We're merely adopting it right now, and it's when we think that we're being really smart that we're actually at our stupidest yes.

Yes, so week 10 Hank is wearing a clueless Max jersey. I wish he'd take that fucking jersey off, but we're going to start.

All right, Hank, here we go. I've been waiting all week. I've actually, you know, I get a lot of feedback from our listeners, which I love, I take all into account.

Make sure you turn your clocks back forward this week.

Correct, correct, without further ado, hank the Lighthouse presentation.

All right, cut in here.

What, what are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

And cut out.

So you don't have the lighthouse?

Um, I, I will have it today. No, I thought the due date was, I thought we were recording later.

No, no, you didn't.

When do we ever record later?

We don't record, we're recording tonight. No, we are recording later. We said we were going to do it during the Colts Patriots preview. Because this game stinks and you don't have it ready, so now you have to extend it to next week.

I thought we were going to add it into this part.

I think, no, we're not going to do. We're going to just do tricks for the audience. They're going to be like, Oh, they talked about him not having it, now he has it, It's a trick, We're not going to trick the audience.

I think you owe our listeners an apology, yeah.

AWLS I would like to apologize, I do not have the presentation ready. I don't really have a good excuse.

Scumbag. You got that jersey, you found, you went and bought that jersey.

Yeah, I bought this jersey. I've actually had this for a long time. I just lost, lost a little bit of weight since I got it.

Uh, who's that? a joke?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Whose expenses is that joke at? I just the the losing weight jersey, you had it for a long time.

It's three XL. I was a little bit bigger back in the day.

So who's who are you making fun of right now?

I'm not making fun of anyone, I'm just people are like, why that jersey is a little bit big on you?

Cause it sounds like during your apology, you just instead weight shamed somebody who lent you that jersey.

I'm not weight shaming anyone.

I lent you that jersey.

Eddie.

Yeah, Eddie's the nicest guy in the world.

Eddie is the nicest guy, he gave me this jersey.

Look, I wish, I wish, I wish you weren't here.

I wish Eddie was, I'm sorry to you guys.

I wish you were back in New Jersey, that's what I wish.

I wish you were swimming with the fishes.

I have, like, after we finished this recording, I'm free for like six hours. I was very busy this morning.

Good, I'm glad to hear that you're free for six hours after this.

You're not gonna watch the game, you're wearing a bear's jersey.

I'll be watching like, we're going to be done in an hour, the game doesn't start for three hours. I'm not going to be on the stream, so I'll be sitting at my computer working.

Oh, Hank doesn't care about the streams when Tiffany's.

I'm not on the stream.

Oh, pervert, pervert, my take.

Pervert my take look. At the end of the day, I am very sorry.

You fucked up actually. It should be called hard on my take.

Yeah, you fucked up.

I did fuck up.

So when are we getting the presentation?

It'll be done tonight, I can present it whenever you're ready for it, and I'll do something as next week atonement.

All right, soul patch.

No.

Get a cat.

Start the lottery ball slate clean. You never got it, you never got it.

No.

You never got it.

No.

You know what this is? It's just hank high, stepping and thinking he's the man because he got the lottery correct. Oh, he's the one. He doesn't think he has to do any work anymore, no.

Look, there's some things. We have had a busy week and there's a lot of times where I really get to thank my lucky stars. Sometimes I don't take it for granted, but sometimes I lose sight of how lucky I am to have this job and to work with you guys.

Dude, I had the same feeling. I was like, I'll put a bullet in my head if I have to be in a conference room for more than 10 minutes.

And then when I start, I said, there's been two times where I sat down to, like, I have. And the thing is, I have the presentation in my head. Like, I know what I want to put on paper. But I sit down and I open pages and I start doing it and, like, my ADHD kicks in.

You're a professional crassinator is what you are.

It started and legitimately, two minutes in, I was like I could not last one minute. Like, if I didn't have this job, I truly don't know what I'd be doing with it.

Yeah, you'd be in a gutter.

I really enjoyed the corporate meeting.

It was a great meeting.

But it's hard to. I couldn't do that every day if I was. if I was, I was thinking myself on the other side.

I get it, I'm doing action items, I'm circling back, I'm putting pins and stuff. It wasn't. I'm loving every second of it.

It wasn't the meeting, it was the physical act of sitting in like a room, with everyone around being serious. And I was like, I, I haven't been in a room like this in a long time.

If I was in, if I was in that corporate life, I would just start every meeting or every sentence with per my email. Yeah, it's just such a power.

Let's now circle, hank. When can we circle back on the White House?

The White House.

I'm saying tonight.

It will be done, you guys can tell.

No, no, no, no, no. If you, we will address it on Wednesday.

Okay, whenever you want.

He's not going to do it.

Absolutely not, and also I have no. He's totally going to get it done tonight, even though it's not due till next week.

As soon as he walks by the simulator, it's over.

Yeah, I won't go off until I finish it.

Okay, well, there is a more important storyline that we can get into. The colts at the Patriots in Frankfurt, Germany.

I can break this.

Colts are colts are underdogs. At home in Germany, Belichick's leading his guys over there. Both teams are traveling on Thursday after their walkthrough, so there's no travel advantage.

Colts are not underdogs, by the way.

The Patriots are one and a half point underdogs.

Two point underdogs.

Okay, so it moved this morning, all right, so big cat. I'm not sure if you've seen this video. That's making the rounds of coach Bill Belichick exiting somebody's house at what appears to be, I don't know, 536 a.m. in the morning.

Hank, When was this video from?

I don't know, it just came out today.

It has to be summertime, right?

The man is shirtless, who knows where the shirt is?

Oh my god.

I'll say this about the video. Belichick looks powerful.

Yeah, he does, he's always had the barrel chest, the back dimples, like the lines in his back.

Yeah, he looks like that man can fuck. That's the back of a man that was up all night eating pussy.

Wait, is there sound to this video?

I don't think so.

Because he definitely ripped a part.

That's the first thing you do when you leave.

Wait.

What if he had done, like the Steve Belichick on his way out into the camera, the defensive thing?

Listen, good for him, good for him. Parver might take, Parver might take. Is he going to get fired?

He might, oh.

I cannot wait. Listen, I've thought about this over the last couple days because the Belichick to Chicago, Belichick to Washington rumors keep increasing. By the minute I want Harbaugh, it seems like, Okay, I'll take Belichick.

You've commissioned them.

But Hank, if he loses this game, would you like to see him fired?

Absolutely not, that's a crazy question.

Okay, do you think they will lose this game?

Yeah.

I actually don't, I actually think the Patriots might win this game.

Belichick might just not give a fuck.

He might not give a fuck, so that might not.

That video, I don't know when the video's from, it probably is from the summer, but like that is like a.

It looks like a summer video.

That's like a jersey shore clip, yeah.

Yeah, because the house is all next to each other. He's not in Nantucket, he's not in a state.

He's in like Taunton.

I also think that this is the one chance that Mac Jones can maybe look good. Because the Colts defense is bad and Gus Bradley runs the same defense, no matter what, all the time.

This should be an over. Mac Jones seems like a jet lag. he's going to be like, Oh, jet lag.

Cranky.

Crying eyes Yeah. Is he allowed to travel overseas with the DUIS?

I have a fun stat that means absolutely nothing. Uh, I saw someone be like, Uh, Bill Belichick, he's 3-0 international games, so he's good with, like, planning out the travel and stuff. Or he had Tom Brady.

Yeah, that's a good point.

That's travel. Doesn't really matter when you have Tom Brady.

Well, what's Bill Belichick's record in Super Bowls? Big Cat?

Uh, I don't know.

Is it six and three?

That's three, four, three.

That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. But he also had Tom Brady in those games. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, for sure.

For sure, for sure, for sure, for sure. So you don't think the Patriots are going to win? Will you wake up for this game knowing that it's after a Saturday and Hank gets after it?

I, uh, will not be participating in any client entertaining activities this weekend, so I will be waking up, wow.

What are you doing on Friday?

I don't know, probably be here.

Okay, okay, okay, you sound like the report that you haven't done.

Yeah, one thing I can't.

All right, you guys know me, the listeners probably know me at this point.

No, they know you, they know you too well.

I struggle when I'm overwhelmed and then you factor in a hangover and everything falls apart.

How is a lighthouse presentation overwhelming?

It's just like the tip, it's just like the it's the straw that breaks the camel's back. Like, I will anything like. I do not do well managing multiple things at once, if there's anything else I have to do.

You're in charge of this whole office.

Like, No, I know, but like, there's a lot of shit going on. So it's like, do I want to do this presentation or do I want to do, like, focus on something for the office? And I'm always like, all right, well, I gotta do this, I gotta do this, I gotta do this.

You gotta prioritize, that's what you have to do. Hank, let me ask you a question if part of my take just ceased to exist, do you think that this office would be here right now? No.

I thought I was going to be able to sneak it into tonight and it would be cool. And then, once we started the podcast, I realized I was mistaken.

Which we started the same time every Thursday.

No, I know, but I thought, like,-.

We actually started this one later.

Yeah, we did.

Sometimes we do stuff and it's like, all right, we'll do it, we'll do it when we record tonight and you guys are cool. And then once we started, I was like, Okay, now this-.

Because it would be weird, because we'd be like, why are we doing the lighthouse presentation?

Well, I try to do the cut in, cut out, okay?

Nerd nugget for this game.

Not only are the Patriots 3-0 in the NFL's international series, but they've only let up one touchdown in each of those three games. Wow, okay. So it could be a Tom Brady stop. But also the defense has played well.

I didn't really. Sorry, Jake, I might have to ask you to repeat that because I was just thinking back about our preview of the Cold Space.

Yeah, it was where the fuck is the Lighthouse presentation? Bill Belichick Fart and Where the fuck is the Lighthouse presentation? But you know what? That's exactly the preview you need for this game.

All right, sorry, Jake, can you repeat it?

I feel like I'm in high school, trying to convince my teachers to give me a passing grade so I can be eligible.

This game stinks. Yeah, it's tough. We should do that every week, the worst game on the schedule. Just be like, make sure we don't actually mention anything about the game.

Doghouse Game of the Week?

Yeah, this game is in my doghouse, for sure. The fact that it's so early, too.

I'm going to game cast this game, just going to watch the updates and scores.

Oh, I'm going to watch it in bed.

I'll be up, I might be here.

You're not going to be here at 8am someday.

No, you're not going to be here.

There's no way.

At halftime, I'll leave my apartment at halftime.

Well, that's not. Yeah, that's different.

So jake nerd nugget.

Yeah, so in those three wins in the NFL's international series, the Patriots have only let up one touchdown in each of those games. Oh, okay, Tom Brady has excelled, yes, but the defense has also played well, very cool.

Okay.

The colts don't stop anybody. Yeah, so I think I'm just going to take the over and just hope that it happens.

Yeah, I like that all right now. For a good game which should have been flexed to Sunday night. Hank is off the hot seat. He just let out a big sigh of relief. Niners and Jags.

Yeah.

They need that old school D'Amico. Ryans was obviously on the sideline, pumping people up that Kyle Shanahan is going to get more involved in the defense. I feel like they realize, hey, we're a really good team, but we got to start taking some shit seriously.

There's going to be a lot of Wilkes Booth jokes going on this weekend, yeah.

I say that, like, is the person who's going to make the Wilkes Booth jokes in the room right now?

I already did it. Something about Wilkes Booth A play never ends well if Wilkes Booth is involved the 49ers and the Jaguars. I'm holding two separate thoughts in my head.

Well, so I don't think they're fraudulent, but.

Well, you got to be consistent because if you look at their schedule.

I was going to say it so I don't think they're fraudulent, but I also think that you can definitely do the tier system with them. Where the last four wins have been the Falcons, the Bills, the Colts, the Saints, and they looked very bad against the Chiefs. And if you ask yourself, are the Niners closer to the Falcons, Bills, Colts and Saints, or are they closer to the Chiefs? I would say they're closer to the Chiefs.

And the Steelers, right.

And the Steelers, yeah.

Yeah.

I was just saying, their last four games, Oh yeah, the Steelers.

Steelers is October 29th. Yeah, so their best win of the season was the Bills. We can agree on that. That was in England.

The bills might stink.

And the bills might stink, and travel was an issue. So to be consistent, we have to say that if they lose this game, we have to call the Jaguars frauds.

The problem is, it's.

And the Dolphins blowing out the Broncos and scoring 70 points. Yeah, that probably adds to their fraud resume. If they blow out a bad team like that. I'm just saying with the Jaguars, they don't play that many tough opponents this year.

No, I know I had the same thought where I was just like, wait, the Niners are going to be the closest thing the Jaguars have, or the Niners is the Chiefs. And the Jaguars really struggled. In that game. They only scored nine points.

That's Crisco, that's why, yeah, it's in the schedule.

The schedule is everything.

The schedule is everything.

They play the Bengals, eventually, they play the Texans.

Yeah, I'm cool. Put them on fraud watch, you can answer.

And then the Ravens, and then besides that, I'm just saying we should put them on fraud watch.

I like it.

They haven't done anything to really earn that, it's just that they haven't played anybody.

No, they're on fraud watch.

And if the Niners go into their house and beat them, I think we have to talk about it.

If the Niners lose this game, do they go to Fraud Watch? This might be the fraud bowl.

But I don't think since they've lost so many in a row, I don't know if they're frauds.

They might just be broken.

They're broken.

Yeah, outside of the Cowboys win, the Niners have only beaten the Steelers, Rams, Giants and Cardinals. Those are not. Sorry Steelers fans, your team's got a winning record.

Yeah, congratulations, you got a winner.

Yeah, you get it.

I'm okay with doing a fraud bowl. Yeah, it's a fraud bowl. But the niners, I think we can say they're broken. Can they put it back together? Yeah.

Basically, if you beat the chiefs, you're not frauds.

I agree, I agree with that.

We're not frauds if we beat the Chiefs. Okay, nerd nugget.

Yeah, first off, I have a reminder from last week with the Jags, we're on a buy to respect Doug Peterson as a head coach.

Oh, okay, all right, we will, I'll do that.

All right, noted.

Trevor Lawrence Big guy. Do you know how many touchdowns he has this year?

C.J. Stroud has 14.

Also this season, the 49ers offense has gained at least four yards on 56 of their first down plays, most in the league. So that's crazy. More than half the time they're getting at least four, that's pretty good, it's really good.

This is what I struggle with this all the time. PFT the stats when you get later in the season because you think you're like, Oh, it's still early in the season, No, it's week 10..

Yeah.

Nine touchdowns in week 10 is not a whole lot.

It's not good.

No, so yeah, that is a little shocking, because you know how that happens, where you're like, Oh, it's still. If you ask me, like, Yeah, we're still early in the season, season just started.

That's how I do my power. Rankings of quarterbacks Who has the most touchdown passes? Yeah, sometimes you got to go backwards and make the stats be way dumber, yeah.

Josh Jobs has 10.

Elite.

Elite Uh, okay, uh, this game's gonna be awesome, though I'm excited. Fraud Bowl.

I agree the strategy last week was Stefanski was to run the ball as much as possible.

They haven't hit 2.

They didn't do well. Yeah, yeah, there was, I think one player had like 13 rushes for 2.9 yards per carry.

And I feel like the Browns, like Amari Cooper, has been great, and that connection looks like they had a couple deep shots. I don't know if the Browns like to beat this. Ravens defense. I think you have to have multiple weapons that can, because I think they can key on Amari Cooper, so I like the Ravens in this game.

One of the one of the guys.

That's like, it's like, Oh, you're now a raven. You had a great game, but you're also kind of injured.

Soft tissue damage. Yeah, it's Lamar returning to the AFC, he just finished his barnstorming tour of the NFC. That he does.

The AFC has been kicking the shit out of the NFC overall, too, though.

Oh, really, yeah, that's a that's a trend that we're looking at.

65 or something I love it makes sense.

I love rooting for conferences.

Yeah, it makes sense. I mean, we keep talking about, like, who's going to get the seventh seed in the NFC?

Yeah, it does.

A lot of really good teams in the AFC.

So I like the Ravens, I think that the Ravens are the best team in football right now. Yeah, I would, I would stake my reputation on that, which is pristine, yeah.

It's, yeah, I mean, I, I. The Ravens are playing great ball, I think there's just too much. I know DTR was the starter last time these two teams played and he's not an N.FL starter. So you can kind of throw out that score. But I think the Ravens are just humming right now.

I am going to be basing the rest of my season's takes on Deshaun Watson off how he performs in this game. I just want to make that very clear.

It's not fair, but it's fact.

Well, I think it's fair, because.

Well, the Ravens defense is really fucking good.

The Ravens defense is good and also Deshaun Watson. This feels like he should be healthy at this point. Yeah, like, fully, fully healthy.

Nerd Nugget.

The Ravens have allowed just 10 points per game at home this season. They've only also allowed two touchdowns from scrimmage at home.

Whoa, whoa. Okay, next game Texans at Bengals. I'm excited for this game. Jamar Chase most likely out.

That's maybe not the case because I saw that he came out. He was wearing a jersey and pads for practice. Oh okay, tee Higgins, I think he's probably out because he was not dressed for practice, yes.

Yeah, and we saw it when Jamar Chase took that when he fell trying to catch that ball. And I think I think Collins were said right away. Oh, he's not going to be able to walk tomorrow with that back, and that's exactly what happened.

Yeah, the other thing is Lou annarumo, yeah, defensive coordinator, coach Lou.

Listen, I can say this big lou as a. As an Italian father, sometimes Italians have names that what I am an I'm an Italian father, father of Italian. My children are a quarter Italian.

I am, I am, I am.

I have a shirt, I said, Proud, it says, Proud Italian father.

I am 1 Sicilian, so I can say this big Lou is going to put them in big trouble, big trouble, big trouble.

I I just think that I think the we'll see what T Higgins, Jamar Chase, I think the Texans, they finally did the thing where, uh, like, oh, C.J. Stroud's really good. Maybe we don't have to run the ball in first down every single time, maybe we should let him just be a baller.

If we forget, if we like men in black ourselves, and, uh, completely ignore the first three weeks of the season. The Bengals are probably right there in the conversation for best team in the NFL.

Oh, absolutely.

Yeah.

I did a halftime future on them against the 49ers at 22 to one. I was like, this, they're back soon as Joe Burrow ran One time, I was like, They're back, they're back and they're the scariest team.

Absolutely, except for that Jabroni mayor shout out Travis Kelsey, Yeah.

Uh, okay, nerd nugget.

Last week, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow played in his 50th regular season game among all quarterbacks in NFL history. Through 50 games. Burrow is second in completions, first in completion percentage in fifth and passing yards.

Okay.

He's good at football.

He's one of the best 50 game players ever.

He's good at football. Uh, okay, next up Packers, Steelers, Yuck.

I think that this, this is the week for the Steelers to lose. I think no. I think they're going to out gain their opponent. They might lose, they still might lose, but they might out gain the Packers this week.

So, um, George Pickens has been doing some stuff on social media. Mike Tomlin had to address it in a press conference. He was asked. He said It's like a pebble in my shoe. pebbles in your shoe are very annoying, yeah.

Was he trying to say? It was like, not a big deal, yeah.

But I was like, Wait, no. Pebble in your shoe is like, you have to stop and take off your shoe and be like, Oh, there's a pebble in my shoe, yeah.

Yeah, it's a serious issue. Yeah. If untreated, it leads to an infection.

It's been like, it's like a pee underneath my mattress. What does that? what does that?

The Princess and the Pee.

Princess and the Pee Uh, yeah, George Pickens. I feel like that's not going great.

Yeah, so he unfollowed a lot of his teammates on Instagram, he scrubbed his Instagram of references to the Steelers. Nadja Harris had a word with him about it and they talked, the two of them talked.

This is the new excuse. Uh, whenever someone deletes everything and they're like, No, I'm just living my life, it's the new. I just got a smoothie and I don't know how these steroids got in my system.

Excuse Yeah, um, this one is it's a little bit harder to track. But I think at the end of the day, he's saying, like, Kenny Pickens doesn't post fire pics on Instagram, right? Like, when was the last time you cleaned out your Instagram?

Never.

It's been a while, yeah, but maybe maybe he's just like a social media connoisseur, and he just realizes his teammates aren't that great at it. Why am I following this guy?

Perfect booties, LeBron James.

Yeah, did he post that? or he just liked it?

He liked it when he was zero dark 30 23, Uh.

To me, that's a that's an indictment of his teammates. His teammates need to step their Instagram game up a little bit.

Yeah, uh, I. So. The only reason I kind of like the Packers in this game is the weakness for the Packers is they start insanely slow in every game. We had the stat a couple of weeks ago where they had five straight games where they did not score a first half touchdown. Guess what? The Steelers don't exactly jump on opponents.

Kenny Pickens is Mr. Fourth quarter.

They keep it close. I I just feel like this is going to be a close game, no matter what. Like, I can't see either team winning by more than three, and now that I said that one of these teams will blow out the other.

At the end of the day, it's going to be a good, uniform matchup, at least. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah, uh, Jake nerd nugget.

Mike Tomlin has guided the Steelers to a 12 and four record on nine days rest. That's the best winning percentage, second highest in the N.FL since 2007..

Anybody? What happened with the best there?

I misread, Oh, no, but still really good nine days rest.

Yeah.

I mean, did you meet, did you see best? or do you read what? Let's break down this situation.

Read What's on my computer? Okay, Max can witness. Mike Tomlin has guided the Steelers to a 12 and four record on nine days Rest. Pittsburgh 75 Winning percentage under Tomlin on nine days rest is the second highest in the NFL since 2000..

So Best was never in there.

Nope, damn, but it's still really good.

You went, rogue.

You saw best, yeah, you just jumped ahead to best.

Messed up? It's all me.

Man, sorry, maybe you can just tag onto Hank's Notes app for the presentation.

I do like the minibuy, though. Yeah, I like Tomlin on a minibuy. I like Tomlin. He is a favorite, which is not good but.

Oh, no.

I like their defense a lot, I like the Steelers.

I feel like the back half of their defense is not the best.

Yeah, just get TJ home.

Yeah, uh okay, let's take a quick break because we have a delivery that just showed up from Shake Shack. Shake Shack is one of our favorite game day meals, and right now they're doing a special promotion.

Give the people free chicken, take a bite, do it.

Take a bite, one bite. What is this? Oh, what is this? These are the sauces.

Oh, that's out of bounds.

These are sauces, all right, I'm gonna take one bite Max, do the chicken dance, do the chicken dance Max, while we bite chicken dance.

You don't know the chicken dance?

Max.

What was that, Hank?

Okay, back to the show.

I'm gonna do an impression of Hank real quick.

Okay, next game, Hank's eating his chicken shack. Someone's got to do the shake, shack chicken, someone's got to do the chicken dance, someone's got to do the chicken dance.

Yeah.

We're slogging through.

Yeah, coaches really hate benching bad quarterbacks. That's what I'm taking out of this week. MiKE Vrabel I think he cried when he said that he was going to have to bench Ryan Tannehill. Yeah, Will Levis kind of forced his hand on that.

He was first reported by Billy Football.

Yeah, people asked many questions about Will Levis back in March, saying, Is he too weird and jacked up to be a good N.F.L. quarterback? I think those questions have been put to bed, anybody who wrote those questions to be executed. Will Levis is just good, he's just really good.

And guess what, the Bucs may really stink, although I think Vita Bay's back Jamel Dean got a concussion. You saw their secondary just completely evaporate when he went out against the Texans.
