 Guys, what's up in sportsman like conduct gab brie here again another week and you know instead of like bitching and complaining about how terrible our teams are this week. We're going to do that later. Yeah, we're going to do that later we're going to start off on a more positive. I'm going to bring in someone who's on a team that's doing really well. People are really excited to watch them. We have Greg Russo here from the bills to talk with us today. Greg came off and off week. Had a little vacation. How is that? Where'd you go? What were you doing? I was in South Florida like to mind me really for a lot of area and I was really just chilling with my fam so I could work out a little bit and kind of just hit like that reset button because obviously like a really long season. Yeah, it was fun though. Good, you know, we all need a little vacation sometime. I mean, it sounds really nice. Now you have the Packers coming up. Yep. The Packers coming up so I only have one question about this game. Only one I'm going to ask you. What's a better food? Cheese curds or Buffalo wings? These curds? Definitely not cheese curds, definitely Buffalo wings. Buffalo wings, yeah. Have you ever had a cheese curd keb? Like they're not, they're not good. People hype them up, you know, you see the hats, you see the... I see the hats. You see the hats like the one, who was the guy that just put the hat on? A sauce. Yeah, are you going to do that after the game? I don't know how to do all that, but I mean... Something. Yeah, something. I mean, for us, I never thought about getting it done, but that would be cool to get a little cheese head done. Cheese had to go in the way, yeah. I'm honestly surprised that you guys had your buy so early. I feel like, especially for a team, and this tells me to say this, that as a team as good as you guys, I would prefer it to be a little bit later than, you know, week seven, but... Yeah, no, I agree. I thought the same thing, but I mean, I guess it's like random or whatever. Yeah. We had the same buy last year too. I don't know if it's the same every year, but it is pretty early now for a 17-year season. Well, I mean, it's not... You guys definitely kind of needed it because you were banged up going into it a bit. Yeah, you're right. It helped. Yeah. My biggest question. And if you can't answer this, that's okay. But are the bills actually going to win a Super Bowl this year? Do I have to mentally prepare myself for this? Okay, we'll get this out of the way. She's a Patriots fan, okay? Yes, she is. You see the shirt? Yeah. Like, we got an enemy on the screen. That's okay. I just... You know, I just very much don't like you guys. No offense whatsoever. Because you seem great. You are so nice to do our stupid little wings video at Radio Road for the Super Bowl and everything. So, like, that's... You're awesome. And you're coming on. But your football team's not my favorite. Your fans aren't my favorite. So I need to mentally prepare myself. I feel so nice though. I feel so cool. Not to me. Yes, they are. They're so nice. I've never had a better time than a tailgate in Buffalo. You'll listen. We'll have to go. You know, the Browns play there soon. Patriots, you know, they always go. Oh, I don't want to go. I don't want to do that. Okay, well, we'll make a trip for the video, for the content. And I'm sure they'll have a lot of nice things. Definitely, definitely. But when you go play in New England, how's the experience there? It's fun. It's a real hostile pressure. It's probably the most hostile place we played last year. Like, fans were throwing stuff and they're like, we're turning around like on the bench and we're going back and forth. Like, it's crazy over there. But that place and probably Arrowhead are like the two most like. Those are your favorite places to play? Yeah, I like Arrowhead. I like Miami because I'm from there. And it's the same stadium I played on with college games in. So that's always lit. But yeah, probably that's the Arrowhead up there. Arrowhead, Gillette stadium. I like Sofa too. Sofa was pretty cool. Sofa is really cool. It's dope. Sofa is up there. So is Arrowhead as loud as they say? Because I've never been. I went to a playoff game during COVID and it was super loud. There was like half the crowd and it was still one of the loudest places. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, their fans are. Their fans are a lot too. Yeah, I bet. I bet. Well, if you could say something nice about the Patriots, like what would you say like a compliment for them? Not even one compliment. Not even like, oh, Bill Belichick. He's kind of cool. He's like. Oh man. Speaking of the Patriots. Okay. I'm just going to ask you the questions. You know the Patriots, you know, you're playing them in the playoffs. Do you want the field when they threw the dildo out there? No, I was on the field. But I saw a video after the game. I didn't know what happened. Good laugh. Good laugh. Yeah. Yeah. That's an NFL game for you. I was out there. He still happens. You were? Yeah. Yeah. And I was like near where the incident occurred. No, I didn't throw it, but I was nearby. I'm pretty sure it was this person had a poster. They held it up. And it was a picture of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick kissing. Oh, they were holding up. I think that's who threw it. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. What are you going to do? What are you going to do? It's, you know, it's time for somebody else to be good, but. Going back to my question. Hello. Are the bills going to win a Super Bowl this year? Is it going to happen? Yes. See the future. Obviously, you know, that's our goal. We're taking a week by week. You know, so for me to, I can't look too far. We've got the packages. We can ask. Right. She said first. Yeah. Exactly. We like to say our next game is our most important. And I feel like that's a really good mentality because like, we start looking all the way down the road. It's like, man, it's also a week to week, like the so-called worst team. To be the so-called best team. I mean, look at the bears last night, you know, right? The bears really did a number. I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, look at the bears last night, you know, right? The bears really did a number. Can you give them a Sunday or Monday or Thursday? That's right. That's right. And sometimes cliche, but it sounds cliche, but it's real true. It's like, you got to bring it no matter who you are, who you got in your team. You got to bring it. Like nobody cares. I don't care who's on there. I don't care how good, supposedly good they are or whatever. Like it doesn't matter to me. I'm going to go out there and play my game. So yeah. Well, who's your like favorite team to play? Not stadium wise. Just like, who's your favorite team to play? Who's your favorite quarterback to play? Like if you could. That one quarterback. Who's it going to be? One quarterback. Uh, that I didn't sack yet. Uh, uh, Tom Brady. Oh, no. That'd be, that'd be good. Yeah. Tom Brady. Yeah, saw that one coming. But I mean, you saw, did you see the clip of Brian Burns from the other day? No. Finally got a sack on Brady. And he's like. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, this guy is like this. Legend. To the fans, but sometimes the fans forget that you guys. Especially now. Where we're all the same age. A lot of people playing in the league right now grew up like gab. And I did watching Tom Brady. years old and now you guys are playing against him, which is insane because he's so damn old. But it's a big deal to take down a guy like that. I mean, Aaron Rogers too this week, although, you know, he's not my favorite, but it's guys up like up to that level. It's a big deal and it would be a big deal. You should celebrate that. I feel like a lot of people are going to be trying to be like Josh Allen now because he's that guy. So eventually he like him and Patrick with Homes. Yeah, he was young up and coming. It's like everybody wearing like a Steph Curry jersey. Yeah, literally, literally. And like I remember my first game, regular season game, lining up across from like and hearing the cadence and hearing like big Ben's voice from the Steelers. I was like, man, this is crazy because I've been watching big Ben since I've been watching football. I've been watching him too. Don't worry. Yeah, exactly. So wow. See, you have like Von Miller on your team now. So that's probably super crazy. I feel like a lot of people ask you like what's something he's taught you on the field. But I would ask you what's something that he taught you like off the field, something fun, something cool, like what's something cool. I say he gives me a lot of like everyday advice, whether it's like about cars, finances, just little things like that. And we have a lot of like deep conversations about stuff that's going on. Like this day after day, like me and all the other dudes in the room, we all just like kind of share our knowledge and just go back and forth. And really like Von taught me a lot for sure. But at the same time, you can't really try to emulate emulate somebody else's game because, you know, you got different body types. I'm 6'6". Von's like his own size, whatever. He's like super bendy. We're not different players. So then what I take the most from him is like his mentality. You know, you can't, you can't really try to go be the next guy. You got to go be Greg or whatever my name is. You got to go be the best for you. I feel like that's like, that's like a misconception of football where it's like, oh, be like him. Be like him. No, you got to be like yourself. You got to be the best player. You can be, take yourself to the next level. Yeah. Well, that's like all these comparisons with the quarterbacks and stuff people saying Josh Allen and Mahomes are the next Brady. Like, no, they are the first them. And that's, I feel like what the fans and I think this is more, the media is more guilty of this than anybody. But like, that's not, you can, they can have, you know, similar characteristics, like you and Von Miller can have similar characteristics, but you are your own person, you are your own player. And I think we kind of need to focus on that more than trying to make comparisons because there's never going to be another anybody. I don't care who it is. Right. That's how I feel about LeBron James. Definitely LeBron James. He's the only one and only one and only. Right. So you're like your team LeBron over team Jordan. Yeah. Oh, team LeBron. Yes. I was really, probably been one player probably like Wade is like, I grew up, one of my first memories is like watching them win the finals in 06 against the Mavericks. And like just that, like Wade was just everything in my mind. We did LeBron, came a boss and that made even better. And I started living LeBron at that point. I'm definitely a team LeBron for sure. I wish Chris Boss was still playing and D-Wade and boys are out of there. What are you going to do when he comes back to the Cavs? Like going to be Cavs fan? Yeah, I'd be like an honorary Cavs fan. Honorary Cavs fan. Exactly. But more of a, I'm leaning on him. I like Kevin Love a lot. Kevin Love's cool. Kevin Love's awesome. Good guy. I wish Kari was still there because I remember like on 2Ks I always played with. Right. He was so good. Yeah, like it was a cool though. It lasted long though. It lasted too long. It was cool though. Yeah, those weekend days. Hey, Dwayne Wade was a Cav. Oh no, that's disgusting. He was though. No, that's not count. That was like a no. I forgot about that action. They had like LeBron have like one picture together. And that was like the extent of it. And we said, you got to go. That don't count, D-Wade and Cav. It counts. I pushed that out of my memory like a long time ago. Like I feel like it even. Did he go to Chicago too? Oh yeah. Oh my God. Just only remember like the good times. I remember D-Wade on Miami. 06, no like 05 to 13, 14. That's all you need. Can we talk about your shirt for a second? Okay, now that's what's going on. What's going on? I feel like, you know, I feel like I knew a coach, you know, and I feel like things are different now. And I remember I was there when coach Rick stepped down and then Mandy Diaz became head coach. So I feel like it's going to take a little bit of time. Of course. Yeah, everybody's going to get used to it. Yeah, exactly. Everybody's going to be like, oh, you were about to use that right now. Like Rome wasn't built. Wasn't built in one day. So like you got to have patience, you know, and I feel like I feel like they're going to be good for sure. I feel like he's played there. He's won a Natty there. So, you know, it takes me slowly building that culture, but I don't think it'll be like super quick fix ring. You know, who do you think the best team is in? Yeah. All right now. Yeah. Who do you think would win? I like today. Really? I mean, I feel like, yeah, I like Tennessee. They got Hinden Hooker, a quarterback. He was the old Virginia Tech quarterback. And I used to play against him and he was a, he was a handful. So I like Hinden Hooker. They got that one receiver, number 11. That would be going crazy. Their defense is good. Tennessee or Georgia, obviously, but. No Ohio State. But I like, nah. I'm more of a dancer. I'm more of a ACC, SEC type. Southern kind of guy. No big 10. I mean, Clemson, Clemson's undefeated. I already like Clemson, but they're undefeated. Yeah. It'll last together, right? I wish. Yeah, so Madison is asking a comment or asking a question in the comments and it kind of goes hand in hand with what I was going to ask you. She wants to know if you ever got the turnover chain and I want to know how you feel about the turnover chain not being a thing anymore. Yeah, I got a turnover chain. Yeah. It was a great experience and I feel like it was really cool because like, like, it'll just be like that extra motivation to go there and make a play. Like, you know, you're going to get turnover chain. You're going to be in a newspaper. You're going to be like hosting a newspaper all over college football, like everywhere, you know? So, like, it was like a staple. And I feel like, I mean, I liked it. So I'm like pro turn opportunity, but I understand Coach Cristobal, I read of it because he was here when back in the 80s and whatever, when they won, when they were winning, they didn't have turnover chain, they didn't need the turnover chain to win. So I understand the reasoning behind him being a former player saying, like, nah, that's not really part of our culture. I definitely respect it for sure. But I like, I personally like it. I feel like it was cool that you get a turnover. And then you kind of just like used to zap the moment about teams that'd be watching us in the bit celebrating on the sideline, like defense going crazy. It was super fun. So yeah, you guys like spark that movement where now everybody has their own version. I remember before they had a freaking turnover backpack, like everybody's just trying to do something. It was horrible. But yeah, everybody's trying to do something. So like, you would have been a swag, obviously. So, Chisholors. I mean, the Browns have a turnover. I don't know if they have it now because they don't really get any turnovers at this point. And that one, it was like a dog bone. I was like, you guys should probably, yeah, it was like a big dog bone. Really? That's crazy. Yeah, I feel like it felt more like it felt more serious. But I feel like we're super unserious over here. So I don't know. I don't know. I don't really watch a lot of football, honestly, as much as I play it. I never just this last week is the only week I really was like watching football, but even at that like most hours of your day. Yeah, I'm doing the football. Yeah. Right. A little break would be nice. Everyone's well, you know. We had some fans ask some questions and I don't know what this is about. Someone said, how's the cameo business going? Are they getting better? What's up with cameo? Like cameo birthday videos and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I still be doing it. It's pretty smooth. It's like, well, 50 bucks here, 50 bucks there. So I ain't complaining about it. I was just about to do it. Actually, like what's this one? Do people ever write in funny things? Can you do them? I can, I can read it if you want. Cameo is, I'm not going to say the name, but this person is turning 16 Tuesday. He's a huge build fan. He loves NBA playing video games and he wants to be a basketball player when he grows up and really works hard. And he's in the honor of school. So that's good for him. Yeah. And I'd be, I'd be wishing him a happy birthday and I'd be trying to tell him like, and whatever sport they play, I'd try to give him like a tip that I might know about the sport and be like, you know, keep that work ethic up. Also get good grades because when schools come to recruit you, if you have good grades, then that's like more like appealing to the scouts and stuff. So I try to give him a little bit of advice, especially when they're like in high school, middle school. Awesome. So you said you played other sports. What other sports did you play? Basketball? I ran track and played basketball, but I was, I didn't like, I didn't like organized basketball. I really liked basketball. Like basketball comp. Like comparison? Yeah. I'd say comparison. I kind of like, I like Zach Randolph back then. I don't know if y'all remember him. Yeah, from Memphis. He was fun to watch. He was like, he played like a football player. He played like a bully. You know, he was even that tall, but he was like, he was like, he was like, he was fun to watch. He was like, he was dropping shoulders into everything. Yeah. Yeah. Zach Randolph. Yeah. Zach Randolph. Love that. Love that. Let's see. All right. So you guys have the Packers next week. Is there any game on your schedule from here on out that you're looking forward to the most, not necessarily in terms of just like, Oh, I think we're going to beat this team, but if you're traveling somewhere or if it's like a prime time game at home, because those are nuts for you guys. Yeah. I feel like Thanksgiving, because I feel like it's cool to play Thanksgiving. We played offensive last year too, so just being able to play at Thanksgiving is cool, because I remember when I was a kid, I used to be eating turkey, watching, watching Thanksgiving games and stuff. So I feel like it's pretty iconic and it feels, it's real like NFL-ish when you play at Thanksgiving, you know what I'm saying? Like just like NBA Christmas. Right. You know? So, yeah. We're going to need you to get a turnover in that game, maybe like a couple sacks, so you can be on the sideline with the turkey leg. Yeah, turkey leg. Now you're talking. Yeah, that's what we need. Turkey leg sideline video. There you go. There's the extra motivation. Gotta get the turkey leg for us. I have a few more fan questions for you. Okay. People want to know, what's your favorite cheat meal and buffalo? Cheat meal. I like barbecue. These flavors, honey roasted, no, not honey roasted. Asian honey butter barbecue. That sounds good. Sounds really good. Yeah, I get waffle fries with it. I get like a little personal pizza with it. That's my favorite cheat meal, and I like chop outs too. Buffalo chop outs is pretty good. It's expensive though. I don't really go much. I go like occasionally, like every once in a while. Well, you should go treat yourself. Yeah, but it's far though too. Once you start snowing, I'm not. Yeah, I don't blame you. That's a thing you went from like the hottest place to play, ever. Now you're in the snow and you got to wear snow boots to work. Crazy, right? Yeah. At least you knew what it was like though when you guys had to go down a couple weeks ago and play in Miami and it was like 110 degrees on the turf or on the field. I was drinking so much water. Yeah, I can imagine. That's horrible. The heat is one thing, but then you factor in the South Florida humidity and people that don't know don't really understand how much of a difference it makes when that humidity is cranked up all the way. It's like an extra 50 degrees, it feels like, and it's heavy. It is the biggest difference. When you're down there, you've got a helmet on, it just sits on your clothes. It sits on your shoulder pads, it sits in your helmet. It's wild. Gross, gross, gross. I don't miss humidity at all. I don't miss that either. I don't miss that either. I really like it. Do you like the smell? I don't like the smell per se because I gotta put on boots to go outside and stuff, but it's not bad. It's only bad a couple of days out of the year. I feel like for real. Yeah, but I feel like once it's bad, it's like days, like the snow days. True. I mean, I get the stuff out of my way in the drive. Let's be talking about the car, but I mean, it's bad when it first starts happening and I'd say, in general, I like Buffalo because it has the seeds, the leaves are red and orange. That doesn't happen in South Florida. It's just hot all year. Even on Christmas, it'll be like 85 degrees. So it doesn't really feel like Christmas, even though it's Christmas. Up here, it's like the snow, you see deer outside. It's like a movie. Literally like a Disney movie. So hey, pretty cool. Yeah. Imagine if they set a Disney movie in Buffalo though. Yeah, that'd be funny. It makes sense. Yeah. How have the fans been for you? Have you felt, does it feel like Buffalo fans are crazy in general, but like has any fan and anything like outrageous, just like a nice gesture? Yeah, actually, my neighbor, shout out to my neighbor. He'd be like shoveling my snow and stuff sometimes for me. I don't like my driveway and stuff. So earlier I said I get started away, but really he gets to start away. The truth comes out. Yeah, because he wakes up early, I guess, but he's a real one and I really appreciate that. I never even asked for it. I'll do it myself, but a real nice neighbor is like, I was like, Oh, good game, man. Good luck. Stay healthy. So they're all positive vibes. So the people here, fans, neighbors, they're all good people. Yeah, like he sends the toilet paper to Vaughn. That was crazy. Exactly. But how happened to that? He was at camp and he said like the toilet paper is different here. And then he got like holding the toilet paper. He said the toilet paper is different here. Yeah, because we're at like a college. Oh, yes, that's right. Okay. That makes sense. I thought he just meant like the toilet paper from Buffalo. It got charmed. Okay. Yeah, that's what I mean. Okay. Thank you. That's what I thought. But the college, I forgot that you guys did that. So that makes makes a little bit more sense. I get that. Okay, the last thing I have for you that someone who for one on the same tweet, it said funniest Josh Allen story. And is there a teammate who would never let cook a meal for you? He meant who I'd never let cook a meal for me. Just roast someone. Come on. You can do it. I'd say like one of the like D linemen, any of them probably at Oliver or Boogie basketball because they're so playful. I don't know. They might like put some crazy stuff in there and be like, you know, you just ate it. I don't want to be going through that. And then what was the other one? Josh Allen, your funniest Josh Allen moment story. Josh always gets me with like these and I just got whoever's watching. But yeah, these right here, like he'll always like getting one of those like stupid little stuff like that. And like, you wouldn't think that like money like that's like that big time and all that stuff is like that, like down the earth is playful. He's really like a big kid. So it's pretty, he's a pretty cool dude. Yeah. Awesome. Brie, you got anything else? Uh, when are we going to see you in those Instagram live dance videos? Yeah, when are we going to see you in those? That's not my cup of tea for real. Maybe just one appearance, just real quick. Just like pop your head in and then duck out. Yeah, one line. Just do like a one line and then dip. What dance videos are? The Instagram live, you know. Oh, I got it. I was on one of those. Where are you? We didn't see you got to do it again. We missed it. Yeah, Deon, Taiwan and I didn't get to see you. I was on it. We were singing. Wasn't the Backstreet Boys on, was it? No, you definitely weren't in the choreographed dance line. I know. Yeah, probably. They'd be going for hours. You'd be going for like two hours straight every Friday. So I'm getting, I'm getting kind of this week, but it was, we did Lincoln Park in the end, like in the end, what else did we do? Instagram live though. So like, Oh, nice. They take requests. Oh, like they're just the suggested ones? Yeah, pretty much. And then another song. We did another song. It was, oh, it was Slow Jam's Kanye West. The real good one. That was good. But I missed most of it. I came back and I was like, oh, damn, like, every part, but I kind of got it on the back end a little bit, but it was fun though. Well, if you could request a song to do it, which one are you picking? I could request a song. What am I picking? I'm trying to pick a song that everybody's going to know. Maybe like Return to the Mac, something like Funnies, something like Smooth Like That, you know, or like September by Earth, Wind and Fire. Oh, I like that one. Everybody loves it. Yeah. Love that. All right. So we're going to be looking for that this week. And if, A, that song's not being played, and B, you're not in it. You're coming back on the show. Where are you going to have to hear from us? We're all going to turn it. I got y'all. I got y'all. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. All right. We'll be on the lookout. Promise. Anything else, Gab? Oh, all I got. All we got. Well, we appreciate you being on for selfish reasons. I hope you guys kick and crap out of Packers this week. So good luck. Hope you can use your head on the way home. Yep. And again, if you're not in that dance video, you're coming back. No, no. I got y'all. I got y'all. Stay tuned. All right, Greg. Thank you so much. Thank you. Okay. Now it's time for us to, it's time for us to breathe. It's time. I don't know where to begin because I have, I'm going to start with the Patriots. Yeah. Let's start there. And this is going to be probably one of the longest rants I've had in the show's history. I'm just going to grab my water. Yeah. You just sit, relax. And so I'm going to start here by saying I was in the camp this week that thought starting Mack Jones was not the best idea. I was hoping that they would give him at least another week of rest. I was not surprised that he started nor surprised that Bailey Zappy came in this game because of the way, you know, the first few drives were going. Mack just didn't look, he didn't look comfortable. He didn't look like the pro bowler he is. He just like, it just, it didn't look right. You know, his plant foot, everything just was messed up. Running for first downs because plays were breaking down. And as somebody that's coming off of a high ankle sprain, I don't necessarily want you to be mobile as much as you can control it. And in those, you know, circumstances, he couldn't because nothing else was happening. And part of that is because of the play calling, the offensive line play, things like that, but also because of him. He missed a few wide open guys because I don't think, I think he psychs himself out and he rushes through his progression. Sometimes he doesn't even go through all of them. So he misses people. Now, I am surprised that Bill Belichick pulled the trigger on this as fast as he did. I thought they were at least gonna let him go until half and then make the change at halftime. But the noise from the crowd, I was very surprised by that. Oh, you were hearing it. You were hearing the booze from all parties. Oh, you could hear, it got picked up by the cameras and the mics, you know, for the Monday night broadcast. You could hear it. So I can only imagine how loud it actually was in the stadium for both of these guys to listen to. Right. And again, we've had the boo topic before. Right. It happens. Yeah. And I don't necessarily think it was justified after the first drive, after the interception. Yeah, I mean, it was a terrible decision, a terrible throw. It was bad. Now, I've seen a lot of takes today. I've tried my best to ignore them or push them off because I wanted to talk about them on here. And I've seen a lot of takes that have said, Mac Jones is never going to forget the way the fans greeted him last night. Well, maybe he should have played better. That's my take. Maybe play better. He's got to forget. He's got to get over it. He did not play well. I understand he's probably not 100% healthy, but he did not play well. And if you don't play well in any professional league, you're going to get booed. It happens. Can I add something to that? Of course, of course. I feel like so they're saying he's not going to forget it. Okay. Tell me a situation with the coach. Okay. I get like the Patriots. It's like a down year, but tell me somewhere that's going to be better for him, where he's going to succeed. I don't think wherever it goes, where he goes, it's going to make a difference. The fanbases are all going to act like that. I think New England is the best situation for him to be in. Maybe that has my confidence in that has decreased a little bit, just based on who is calling the plays. Because again, you don't have an actual offensive coordinator calling the plays, but that's, it seems like, you know, he, Matt Patricia turns into an offensive coordinator where Bailey Zappi is in the game, but when Mac is in the game, like it's just two different schemes. It seems more simplified for one and more complex for the other. And it just, I don't, I don't understand why that happens, but he's going to have to get over it. If he wants to still from a mental standpoint, I'm not talking about a coaching decision or anything like that from a mental standpoint, if he still wants to be starting quarterback of this football team, he's going to have to get over it because there's no choice. If he doesn't and the way, and he lets that affect his play, it's going to continue and it's going to get bad and it's going to ruin his confidence. It really is. Now, I want to give him a lot of credit for the way he handled the, I guess, benching is the only way to put this. Because when Bailey Zappi threw that touchdown to Jacoby Myers last night, Mac Jones is one of the first people up on the sidelines. He was celebrating high fives and it was great. And I think that is huge, not only for Bailey Zappi to see that he's got that support, even though- Right. He might take your job. Yeah. And it's good for Mac because I think it shows a lot of people who in the past week have brought up some sort of ego problem that I don't think was even there to begin with. I think people have like a weird perception of Mac Jones that's not true. I feel like they see him and they think he's like some cocky, like arrogant guy. And I think he's just like a goofy, like he's like the funny guy at the party, you know? Right. Maybe the guy that's like shortlist jumping around at the football game if he wasn't playing football, like he would be that kind of guy. I don't necessarily think that, like I'm sure he was not happy about the situation. I mean, anybody would be. But the fact that he was not sitting and pouting and whatever- Throwing tablets, yelling at people, doing like anything else that anybody else would do. Now somebody correct me if I'm wrong because I was very young when this happened. So I don't have a perfect memory, but Drew Bledsoe. And I'm not saying that this is the same situation. Let me preface this. I'm not saying that Bailey Zappi is Tom Brady and Mac Jones is Drew Bledsoe. I'm just saying it's a, the only reason it's a similar situation is because it's a starting quarterback and a backup quarterback. The talent is not equal. It's not. Can't believe I even have to say that, but it's been circulating. The only thing that I remember, and I saw it in the man in the arena documentaries and credit to Bledsoe for going on that and talking about it and saying that he really didn't handle it well. But he outed and he grew kind of a fit when he got replaced. Now the sample size that we have with Mac and Bailey is really small, but he totally could have gone that route and he didn't. So I give him a lot of credit for that. I also think we're kind of not talking enough about how slide where he got the guy in the nuts was a little dirty. I was really bad. That was really bad. Like, I don't think we're talking about that enough, but that's, yeah, that was pretty bad. It was given, like, this is not, I'm not comparing these guys at all, but it just reminded me of when Antonio Brown put the face to our pickers face mask and I was like, maybe let's not do that. Right. It little dirty. I think that kind of got lost in the shuffle of things that took place last night. So I'm going to, I'm going to that's not if you plays again, but I think my biggest thing here is there have been a lot of people angry at Bill Belichick about the way that he handled this because yesterday, apparently, Bailey Zappi did not know and McDonald's did not know who was starting until like everybody else found out, like when a chapter found out and everything they should have known a little bit before. Yeah, you just, you know, for the game plan and to get everybody ready for their job of what they need to do that night. But and they both either way, you should be ready. They both supposedly split reps with the ones during practice this week. So I know that they weren't a hundred percent sure if Mack was going to be healthy enough. But I feel like once that decision was made and he got the majority of the first team reps, that's what we should have gone with. I don't think I like the dual quarterback game plan. And I don't think a lot of people didn't like it. And I understand um, Jacobi Myers went and said last night that he didn't like how, you know, the treatment of Mack Jones and he went on to clarify that it was, you know, a fan thing that he was talking about. But well, you know, you can't help it that they're going to get excited when you have a guy that comes out of nowhere, right, winning football games for you. And then that happens. I'm going to happen. I know it's not great that it happened, but you know, they're going to act like that. I just don't know where they go from here. Right. But like, I have an issue with everyone. They're saying it's a QB controversy, but I don't really think it's a QB controversy. I think it's a QB problem. Like you need someone that's going to be good and neither are showing. Agreed. I think controversy would have been an okay thing to talk about last week. If the game had, if this game last night had gone, how the Browns game went, then I could see controversy being talked about. There is a quarterback. Yeah, it's worse now than when you started. Because if Mack Jones can't figure out this turnover problem, because the majority of the, and I, I will, to his defense say that he has a few interceptions that are tip balls that should have been caught by receivers, you know, Nelson Aguilar fumbles in this game and that game. And I know not every interception that he is credited for is his fault. I can understand that. But a lot of them are. A lot of them looked like the one last night and that's a problem. He has a decision, a bad decision making problem, I would call it. And now David Andrews is in concussion protocol because he got blindside hit last night and that's a major blow to the offensive line. Brent Brown decided last night he was just going to have the absolute worst game of his career and have nine penalties and stuff like that. So everything that could go wrong right now is going wrong. And it's, a lot of it has to do with I think the media, the Boston media and the fans. Like I'm trying my best here, you guys, because I know what the Boston media is like and I know what they're saying right now. And I know it's doomsday and everything is bad and the trade deadlines next week sell, sell, sell. Let's tank for a draft pick next year. Like I know that's what's being said. I've tried to ignore it, but I've seen it. I've seen it. And I'm trying to be as level headed about this as possible for a nice change of pace because levelheadedness when it comes to this football team is between expectations. So I get it. I just want people to understand that the season is not over yet. I think last night and it was a major heat of the moment thing. And I understand that the game was really frustrating. Right? I would be, I'd be pretty mad too against a team that you absolutely should have beat. You got out coached outplayed out everything you did, but the season is not over. You're three and four. You got to make up a lot of ground, especially in the division and it starts next week. Right. You beat the Jets next week and we can, we're back on track back at 500. Wipe your hands of that shit show last night. Move forward. That's what this team needs to do going into Sunday's game against the Jets because shockingly enough, the Jets might be legit. I'm not, I think the quarterback, not that great, but everything else has been working out well. I mean, they just had a significant injury that's going to take a toll. Yep. But they picked up someone else. I'm not totally sold on the Jets, but they're competing. They're playing meaningful football. They are competitive. They aren't doing the same. Yes. Exactly. And like losing to the bears like that takes a number on your team. This is what they're either going to do. They're going to go out, play their asses off, or they're just going to be still pissed off and start like doing what the Browns do and blame everybody for everything that's going wrong. The only two ways this is going to go and hopefully it's the first one. I don't want to say that this is a must win game because I still feel like it's too early for that, but this is as close to it as you could possibly get because it's this divisional game. Yeah, especially like you gotta, this has to be the week that they figure it out to set the course for the rest of the season, because once they come back from the buy, they are going through hell in a freaking hand basket. That schedule coming back from the buy to the end of the season is hard. Got the bills in there, you've got the bangles in there. It's the bills twice, no less. Like it's hard. Right. Yeah, this comment, the underestimate on the bears is unreal. I don't think like, so I'm not underestimating the bears. I feel like looking at them, they have the potential to be really good, which they showed last night. They just have to keep doing it. And sometimes Justin Fields just doesn't do it. A lot of it has to do with coaching. Right. And I'm really rooting for Justin Fields a lot. I feel like people forget that I liked what I saw. Yeah. But I think people forget that first year head coaches tend to struggle like we're seeing a thing you'll have to do and like I don't ever want to watch. So if there's a football team, I never want to watch again. And I'd watch the Browns every single week. I'd rather watch the Browns over the Broncos at this point. Okay, so see this is where I completely agreed with what this person said, and this is where they lost me. Fields has the potential to be a home quarterback. It's just going. I was so on your side, man. You lost me. He has the potential to be a good quarterback. All a fame, I think is a stretch, but he has the potential to be better than he is right now. Last night, we saw one good Ohio State quarterback. Come on. Just one of them turned out to be good because I'm tired of hearing it. Not a bear's fan. Who's your team? I want to know. Come on. Come on. Tell us. Yeah, I want to know now too. Because that's for somebody that's not a bear's fan. That's a pretty bold statement to me. So that's my Patriots rant. I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible because I weirdly feel okay. I'm stressed out and annoyed, but I'm not sitting here and looking at the rest of the season and saying, oh shit, I have to watch this football team for another 10 weeks. Right. Like that's what I don't want to do that. Like I don't feel like that. I feel like that they can figure it out. The defense that played last night is not the defense that we've seen for the last ever many weeks. I don't think that that's going to happen again. Now it probably will because by luck I say shit like that and it comes to bite me in the ass and whatever. But I just, I don't think the team that was on the field last night is who they are. I think the team that was on the field for that 10 minutes of the Bailey Zappy two touchdowns and everything, I think that's who they are or who they can be. I think it's the better way to say that. And we just got to string that together for 60 minutes. What about, what about this one? If Mack Jones was capable, would they have ever drafted Zappy? I think they had a, I don't think they thought he wasn't capable, but I just think they had some doubts, you know, just in case you need somebody. I don't think that matters at all because of, I mean, how many times did they draft a quarterback before maybe they should have when they still had Tom Brady? Like, it's just an insurance thing and Bailey Zappy was, I would go almost as far as to say the most talented quarterback in this draft. And now this draft did not have good quarterbacks top to bottom. It's just, it wasn't a good quarterback draft class, but he was the most underrated out of all of them. And the fact that he fell to the position that he did, I think Bill, who is, I know people have brought into question, Bill Belichick's draft and capabilities, but I think he's still a good evaluator of talent, not at the wide receiver position, but for overall, I think he is. And I think he, where he saw that Zappy was still available at that position in the fourth round. So many correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was a fourth rounder. You jump on it because, I mean, why not? But also, if we do get into situations like this, it's a damn good thing to have. And I think everybody can agree that the Patriots are really lucky to have had Zappy with the fact that Brian Horror only lasted a drive and a half. And that his brain turned into scramble. Yeah, see, if we're going to talk about quarterbacks like that, there's a lot of quarterbacks that got to go. But I don't know if got to go is the right word, but there's a lot of quarterbacks that are getting on my last nerve. And some of them might need to hit the retirement home. Matt, Ryan, you're top of the list. See ya. Time to go. Time to go. You've seen what we needed to see. We're moving on. I don't think it's going to be any better. No, don't think it's going to get better for the Colts. But I mean, I guess you have to try something else because it's pathetic. How soon are we going to get subjected to Nick Foles again? I think it's sooner rather than later. Yeah, very soon. Could it be any worse? I don't think. I mean, no, I don't really. And then we'll go. We'll go to the next one. My guy, Tom, you told us that you were going to war. And you waved the white flag at the beginning of the game, and your teammate was signing autographs with the refs. It still didn't help. And you lost. You lost to PJ Walker. You lost to a combination of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and now PJ Walker. And those are very low on the QB poll. And now you're going against Lamar. I know you don't play defense, but you need to try some offense. All three of the teams that I have some interest in or some investment in just decided that this week that we're going to play the absolute worst game so we could possibly play Patriots last night. The Buccaneers, and then the Chargers. We're going to daily time to go. We're going to get to that in a second, but I've had enough. You know, he's wasting. He's wasting the prime time gears of Justin Herbert. He deserves better. He deserves so much better. But the Buccaneers, I have a lot of beat with this football team right now. It starts with the quarterback because if you're going to sit there and call out other teams for bad football, you better, better not go out there and embarrass yourself the way that you did. You can't score a touchdown. They can't score a touchdown. You can't score a touchdown on the Carolina Panthers. They're having a freaking fire sale right now and you can't beat them. They have a decent defense, but like for fuck's sake, come on. Score a touchdown. You had Leonard Farnett tweeting like two weeks ago, I can't wait to score all these touchdowns for my fantasy, for my fantasy owners. Never tweeted again. Fair. How are they? As many as Jonathan Taylor, which is like zero. I can't make any excuse for Mike Evans for not catching that football that was about as perfect as it could have possibly been. Maybe just a touch overthrown, but like not really because it hit you right in the hands. That's your job, catch the goddamn ball. Was he signing autographs? I don't think he was. You think he was? Oh my God. I don't think so. I'm just going to act like I didn't see it. I'm going to act like, I can't believe that woman post that. She's like a team reporter. He just fired it off. I said, wow. Okay. We were talking about it over coffee this morning. My boyfriend made a really funny point that it's like a bad Seinfeld skit where they had to come up with some excuse and it was golf lessons. And Mike Evans probably doesn't even like to golf. Who knows? And now he's out of one of the best Instagram account. We need to see if he follows any golfers, looked through the like tweet. Does he follow anyone? Tiger Woods? Does he follow Tiger Woods? Then I'll say maybe. I don't know. Somebody, somebody in the comments go investigate for us, please. Does he follow Tiger Woods on Instagram? That will tell us anything we need to know. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I'm on my wit's end. I really am. The defense, embarrassing. It just couldn't be going any worse for Tom right now in all aspects of his life. I'm not going to sit here and say he needs to retire because he's playing bad, because I don't think it's just a him thing. I think a lot of it has to do with, the offensive line is decimated. The people that are there are not playing well. Byron left, which just, I mean, I'm frustrated with him. Yeah, it's not good. And I saw, I saw a tweet the other day saying, I bet Tom Brady wishes that he saw Bruce Arians. And I just would like to remind people that Tom Brady wanted Bruce Arians out. He was one of the driving forces of Bruce Arians not being head coach anymore. So if he's got anybody to blame for this, it's himself. I've never been so critical of Tom Brady in my entire life. Man, that like hurts me for you, you know? And I'm like, I'm like LeBron Stan and I see everything going on with the Lakers, but he's still like performing well. It's going to be more awesome. It feels so weird because I am sitting here watching my favorite football player just like spontaneously combusts. Right. He's having a midlife crisis. Literally. He's having a midlife crisis on the football field. I'm like, I can't defend him because it's all he's doing. I'm not, he's so much of like a Homer in that sense, where I'm going to say he can do, because I always joke around and say he can do no wrong in my eyes, but like he is, he actively is, and I can't sit here and defend it. The family thing, that's, you know, that's not for me to comment on, but what I can watch on the football field and what he does, especially that press conference, that's going to sting for four, that was a bad comment until they figured out how are you going to sit there and say, you're watching other teams play bad football and there's so much bad football in this league. Look in the mirror for 10 seconds. Your football team stinks right now. And then there's the other jerk head that's talking in the media who's also three and four. Did you see what Aaron Rodgers said today? I'm just, I'm just angry. See that'll transition to the next topic. Okay. Who is having more effect on their team's ability to not win games? Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers? Who's more to blame here? Aaron Rodgers. Do you think so? In my personal opinion, he's got the better, he's kind of a cyber bully. I have never came on the show and been so mad as I am right now. I think, I think both are really, I think both got to go. Put it in Jordan lava at this point. I don't know. Aaron Rodgers really had the balls today to say people that are continuing to make mistakes deserve the playing time to be cut. Look in a mirror one time for me because you are not playing up to your standards. But as I've, as I've said on this show multiple times, it's everybody else. It's never him. It's never him. He can never take responsibility. Have some self-awareness for once. You're not playing great right now. You're the reigning MVP and you're playing like you've never even sniffed an MVP. Yeah, but like, but like, I feel like at least like he can have the excuse of his team. Like his team is a little, yeah. And I totally understand that a little worse. Cause like Brady, you have all these like pieces, but still like neither of them are doing anything at all to help their teams. Maybe both should sail off into the sunset and just fucking retire at this point. It just, it kills me that Aaron Rodgers has such a smart coach. I love that coach. Like, and I know, I know the receivers thing. Yeah. I get it. They're not very good, but you are a leader and you're a good player. You're going to do the things to help your team. You're not going to go on the freaking live streams to say, yeah, you know, they're terrible. They're terrible. And you're not going to say everybody's playing bad football. Like both of them are very much not doing things that leaders should be doing. And I get that you are very old veterans, but that doesn't mean you have to be a grumpy bitch every day. That's not an excuse to be like that. Not an excuse. Yeah. Listen, if Aaron Rodgers wants people that are not, you know, playing well to lose their playing time, Jordan Love, go ahead, take over. Because that's, I, I've said this before and I'll say it again. I cannot imagine being somebody on that Green Bay's Packers team that he's talking about and going to work with him. It's got to be miserable the next day. That's got to make you feel so awkward and so shitty. Like you're walking around on eggshells around him constantly. You know, it'd be great. Somebody that's supposed to be your leader and he's, it's like a freaking dictatorship almost. This is what, this is what I could see happening and I'm not even like being dramatic when I say that. You know how Tom Brady has his little meltdowns? I can see Aaron Rodgers throwing a pass and like maybe like a 50-50 ball and the other team intercepts it, whichever wide receiver that is on the sideline fist fight punches him in the face. I'm sorry. No one should do that, but like maybe for the memes, maybe for primetime TV, if you want to see the Packers melt down, you want Aaron Rodgers not playing, take one for the team. Someone do that. I guess, another thing with the Packers, like you have a double-headed monster worth of running backs behind you. Worst case scenario, if you're not happy with what your receivers are doing, think and dunk. Think and dunk to your running backs. You're old, you can get away with it. And you have two. Tom Brady has been doing that for his entire career. You can do it. You have two of them. You have two of them. And you know, two of them. Some people don't even have one. You kicked your best wide receiver off the freaking team. You ran him out of town. No cheesehead for a Devonte Adams anymore. Just Elz with the Raiders. Honestly, that's what he gets. And I hope he realizes that now. You wanted to be selfish. You wanted all that money. Here you go. Now you have no receivers and you have nobody to blame by yourself. Nobody. Oh my God. Okay. This guy said, wait, what teams do you both support? So we agree with the Patriots. And you know, we watched the game last night and my team, the worst franchise in all of sports, all of sports history actually, Cleveland Browns. And I would never wish that upon my worst enemy to be a fan of that team. Down astronomically bad right now. Right. And I'm sorry that I said that, Cleveland, but like sometimes, you know, we just, we just feel it. We just are upset. And like last year, oh my gosh, last year we were at the point where like fans would be arguing and we're like, oh, we're going to lose. We're not very good. And then some fans saw the hope. I think we're all at, we're going to lose. So that's where that's where Pats fans are at right now. And it's, yeah, we're going to lose. I have one, just one, two Cleveland Browns comments and I'll keep them. So everyone is talking about fire the coach. Dumb fucking idea. Sorry for the F bombs. I'm really, I'm really mad. Yeah. We're going to get in trouble for swearing today this week, but fire the coach. That's the first time. And I'm like, no, that's like a stupid idea. And then like, well, we need to get rid of the defensive coordinator. What's that going to do? Is that going to change anything right now? Because it's not, you get rid of him. They're still going to be playing the same way that they did the week before. Three, you need to run the ball more. Nick Chubb has the most carries second most yards. They're like, well, he needs to do in the fourth quarter of the situation. I'm like, he has the third most in the fourth quarter. You are going to run this man into the ground and then run him out of town. I hope you guys are happy. Yeah. So last thing, this is my last Cleveland Brown statement, all those things together, everyone complaining about those things. I don't think any of them are relevant right now. And that's because you have a freaking $230 million guaranteed quarterback sitting on the bench to spend it for 11 games. He's sitting at home. He's sitting at a fucking home. You can't make any decision about the coaching staff, about the offense, about anything until that man is on the field. Why would you get rid of the coach? He's the coach that brought him in and all that money. Why would you get rid of your best player? Probably the only thing that they're looking forward to do is having those two on the field. Like I just think it's stupid trying to like do all these things. Cream Hunt, sure, trade him. That could be valuable to a team, get a pick. The running back market is not very high. It's all what happened the other day. So yeah, your records are awful. Yeah, our teams are mad. Thanks, Kyle. Thank you. We know. I have to watch it every week. Don't worry. Thanks. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. Yeah, so you can't make any decisions until you have the man that you paid all the money for on the field. It's pretty relevant. Everyone's like, Oh, Jacoby, but he's not playing. He's a backup. What do you want him to do? Right? I mean, the expectations for Jacoby can only go so far. Like he was never, maybe he could play a little better in the fourth quarter. Sure. Like he was never going to lead that team to an undefeated record going into your buy like that. It was never, it wasn't going to happen. A winning record would have been absolute best case scenario. I can't say that for me. So your team lost to the Colts. Let's limit the gloating here. Speaking of the Colts, going back to that for a second. Going back to that for a second. If the change of the guard at quarterback for the 900th time in the last three years, four years, five years, however long it's been, does not change the productivity of Jonathan Taylor, whether that be his carries, you know, get up to a little bit. And I know that's kind of asking for a lap because the offensive line is not as good as advertised or just little screen passes here and there. I'm going to scream. I'm going to scream. Yeah. Like what the, he now, you know, I know why it's happening. You know why it's happening because I took him first overall on my fantasy draft and now the football gods are trying to kill me. That's not why Jonathan Taylor, I'm about to give you a little slander and I'm sorry. This is why it's happening. Anytime we ask someone to do something for a show and they don't do it, they have a really bad game or something bad. Karma. It's karma. Jonathan Taylor, I asked you to be in a TikTok. You looked at me and said, TikTok is stupid. No. And then his agent said, you need to go. And I said, I forgot that. God bless. And then Pat McAfee is on his set talking. I'm going to yell to him by all of them, points over to us. He goes, JT, what's good? And then they start waving and I'm beside them telling me to get away. Yep. That could be why. I completely forgot that happened, but yeah. Karma. Karma. You come on the show, you have something good happen to you. You get cursed. You get cursed if you don't. Don't go on the show. Eli Apple, perfect example. Eli Apple, he was supposed to be on the show. Guess what he did. They have a winning touchdown, passing the Super Bowl. Yeah. Anything else? Do you have anything else for me to yell about? I mean, I could go into on the chargers, but like I just don't feel like I'm tired. No. Eli Apple doesn't like me. Well, Eli Apple doesn't like a lot of people. He's sometimes, he can be, he can be okay sometimes. You know, he likes to talk a lot of shit on the internet. And that's just him. That's just him. He can right now because the Bengals are winning games. Oh, okay. Wait a second. I just thought of something that I wrote down on the doc that I wanted to talk about because speaking of the Bengals winning games, are these two New York slash New Jersey teams legit? New Jersey teams? No. Specifically the Jets. Okay. I don't think that they're as bad as I thought they were going to be. I'll say that. No, no, me either. As I thought they were going to be absolutely okay. They're okay. My thing with them though, a lot of backup quarterbacks. They've gone against a lot of backup quarterbacks. Right. Like look at who they're playing. The Browns. Well, that was, they should, I'm not even going to talk about that one. I was, we'll keep that one to myself. Last week, Brett Ripian, is that his name? Brad? Brett? I don't know. And they barely, barely. Oh, Zach Wilson. You're not good. Like, I'll go as far as to say the Jets defense is good and they still haven't hit on a quarterback. I don't think. I get it though. You know, I've seen them. And listen, they're feeling out there. You can get carried. Teams like that can get carried. Lions did it twice. Like it's possible, but I, it's not sustainable. Like it's, it's not something that you can do and then try to again and again and again and again, especially if we're, you can only play who's on your schedule and I know that. So it's not to say that they can't control that. It's whatever. Yeah. Like they played the Steelers and the Browns. But when they played the Bengals, what happened? Right. They got smoked. So their level of competition has not been good. Right. So I am interested to see what happens when they start to play some more legit teams. And now I couldn't tell you what their schedule looks like from here on out. It could continue to be super easy in terms of, you know, just continuing to have to play back and quarterback or whatever. So if somebody wants to fill me in on that real quick, I can't start because then my feet is going to go on it. Right. But I think I have more faith in the, all with all of that being said, I think I have giants for sure. Being legit. I still don't think Daniel Jones is that good, but he's not doing that bad. He's doing what he needs to do. Brian DeBull is making a hell of a case for Coach of the Year. Yeah, 100%. And I don't think that we ever thought that we would be, you know, not at all. Shout out to giants, no for real, because I've been doubting you. I still am. And it's, but you're doing a lot better than I thought it was going to be. And it's insane who they're doing it with. I can't name a single freaking receiver or tight end. And now both of their tight ends are hurt. One of them has to get eye socket surgery. Oh, I don't know what that was going to do there. I thought that was about to happen to freaking Darius Garland the other night. Scary. And so scary. The last, the really quick last thing before we do pigs, because I know we've been on a tirade forever. Maybe the Broncos will be better without Mr. Let's Ride. But they'd be any worse. No, it would be actually pretty impressive if they were though. Oh, look at this. This is the Jets are playing Texans, Bears, Lions, Bills twice, Dolphins, Vikings. That's a decent amount. Man. All right. So I, if the Bears have finally figured it out and can replicate last night in some capacity, I think that they are not a shoe in to lose. The Lions like, look, I want, I want to say that the Lions could win. I can't deal with them anymore. I can't. It was fun for a minute and now I'm done. Bills twice, Dolphins back with Tua looked good in the first half the other night and then decided to stop throwing a Jalen waddle. I don't know why you would do that, but then the Vikings are, I mean, everyone knew the Vikings would be fine. I mean Kirk, sometimes a little, there's a little dumb stuff, but everything else about them is decent. That's, I mean, that's a pretty favorable schedule for Jets. Right. Interesting. Yeah. That's going to be, it's going to be interesting to see how much those two injuries that they suffered are going to impact. I mean, the Breeze Hall one is massive. That's huge. I mean, he was having a phenomenal time. She was my favorite for offensive rookie of the year. Like, sucks. But I don't know. Okay. Picks. We'll run through these. We'll go fast. We'll do, should we do a Yankees slander then picks? Get that out the way? Yeah. Yeah. New York Yankees. You lost. I know you beat my team. You beat these guys, but it took a lot to take my team down. It took fake reign in New York, took a delay. It took two canceled postpone games for you to make it to get swept by the Houston Astros. You're terrible. You're going to spend $300 million for a man that strikes out, let's see, like 26 times in the postseason. Okay. That sounds ridiculous. What are you going to do now? Increase your payroll? Okay. Try. Where's that going to get you another one? What has it done you for the last however many years? Nothing. They were selling tickets for their game to get swept against the Astros for $15. I saw people on the timeline posting me like, oh, I just bought this ticket for $15. If anybody wants to go, watch it. I mean, it couldn't have been any better. And I don't even like the Astros. I don't think anybody really does, but I don't think anyone really likes the Yankees either. I do not give a damn that the Red Sox finished last place in the ALEs. They were on vacation before anybody else was. I don't care because the Yankees are right there with them sitting and drinking their pina coladas. I don't care. And I don't care because how much do I, on a daily basis, during baseball season, how much shit do I deal with from Yankees fans? They're the worst. They are the worst fan base that there is. In Miles Straw, you were correct when you said that and don't let anyone ever try to bring you down. You were right. They are bad. They're so mean. I looked through my bookmark tweets after they got swept just to see how many I had saved or when I was able to go dance on graves. I am not even exaggerating, Gab. I think I had about 30 different people. Ruthless things and they don't even like make it like baseball related. It's just like ruthless shitty things by awful people. And I don't know why they act like that over in baseball team. My favorite one was one of my friends actually is a Yankee fan and he tweeted something when the Mets got eliminated that the Yankees are, you know, they will be welcoming to Mets fans when there is a World Series parade in Manhattan. Well, I'm sorry. That's what canceled. Sorry. The parade got canceled in case you guys didn't know. There's not a parade for the 13th year in a row. There's not. How much more can you spend? You know, what's you're going to get to? Just keep spending. You know, it's funny. The more they spend, the funnier it is. My favorite part about this whole thing is I am 1000% on the Aaron judges out vote. I don't think he's going to say, I think he's going to get a bag from I'm almost all in on the San Francisco Giants to be honest. He's from the Bay Area. They've got a lot of money to spend. They should be good. Seattle. I would hate if he went to Seattle. I would hate that just because they're everything that I want. Yeah. It would be very good. And my in a perfect world, he would come to Boston and what if he goes to the Mets? That'd be great too. I wouldn't mind that either, to be honest. Just because I know how much it would absolutely kill Yankee fans if he became a Met or a Red Sox. I just need him to be a Boston Red Sox for the simple reason alone that it will have grown men in the New York City tri-state area crying. I need it to happen. Can we pull up the banner photo? I have a wonderful photo to share with the group. And it just makes me so happy. Shout out to Sir Yacht that made this. It's a banner that says, congratulations, you made fun of Josh Naylor. Hang it in their stadium. But all I know is that he sucks. That little mausoleum thing they have in center field. Go hang it up in there. Oh yeah. And you know the little baby around second base? Uh-huh. For you guys. Wonderful. Another year of the Yankees not winning anything. Congratulations on this stupid home run record chase that really wasn't a home run record chase that you all made us watch throughout the year. Like that's cool, I guess. Doesn't really like the American League home run record, I guess. But like that's it. I have one more Yankee. One more Yankee story I will add. I'm done. I'm done talking about them for a very, very long time. I was at the Cavs game the other night, opening night. You know, it was there. He was at the game. They put him on the screen. Everyone's cheering because you know, awesome guy. We love him. Great guy. Love him. I'm walking home with my friend Abby. We're kind of a little, we've been, we've been out all day. Brown's lost, went to the Cavs game. They won in overtime. So we've been out all day. We're walking down East Fourth and we're like shit talking to Yankees. We're like, F you judge. Like F them. They spent so much money. So embarrassing. Like Josh, going off. We look up in front of us. Very frank on it. Walking. He laughing. He was just putting his head down, shaking it. And we kept on going with our day too. It was great. I love that. I love that man. He's really good. He's the best. I, he probably wanted to laugh, like publicly laugh at you guys. That's great. We just let him be. We didn't even say anything. We just kept on going. It's awesome. Well, RIP, the New York Yankees sucks to suck. You're supposed to win the World Series for a millionth year in a row. And I don't know what happened, but you didn't do it. So you always say and bring on the Phillies, but try again next year, I guess. Not going to be you. So do you want the Astros or the Phillies to win? Oh, the Phillies. I agree. I can only root for the Astros for so long. I'm not rooting for like really either. I don't really care who wins. I have a lot of Astros fans, and I know that they would be very happy. Yeah. I like the Phillies roster a lot. I don't like the fact that they stole the dancing on my own thing from the Red Sox year, but that's fine. If anything, it's just another reason for me to like them, because that was the Sox song last year. You know every single person in Philly goes to work hungover every single day right now. Yeah. Oh yeah. Philly is having the time of their lives. And they probably do shots on their lunch break, pregame for the night. Yep. Yeah. Awesome. Good for them. Good for them. I hope that they knock off the Astros just because they just lose such a bad taste in my mouth. And I really like Bryce Harper. Yeah. I really want Bryce Harper to win a World Series. He deserves to. He's been one of the best players in baseball for a long time. He always is like going through periods of getting her and like he left and they won. And then on the other side, Dusty Baker seems like a really great guy. And the oldest, I believe I read this correctly. He's going to be the oldest manager to manage in the World Series. How old is he? 70. White Sox thought they had to run for their money right there. But you know, they were terrible. So well, yep. And Tray Mancini is on that team. And I think that would just be really awesome for what? All right, let's do picks. And then let's go through. I'm out of here. Okay. We'll start it off. Tom Brady. I'm sorry. Tom Brady, I am really sorry. I do not enjoy watching you play football. Therefore, I cannot pick your team. I'm going with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. Easy. Aside from the Patriots game last year, I think this is the only time I've picked against Tom Brady. And I, like I can't in good faith pick this football team to win right now, especially because of that shit I watched last week. I can't. That was, that was. If you're not favorite in this game, right? They can't be favorite. If they are, well, the Patriots are favorite in the Jets game, which doesn't make sense to me. So they very well could be. I just need to know before we move on. I'm going to look. If you can't handle DJ Walker, but Hubbard and that Carolina Panthers team, there's no way that you can handle. Yeah. The Ravens are. Yeah. Okay. Good. And it's, it's a home game. It's in Tampa, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, yeah, I, I, I don't pick against Tom Brady. You guys have been watching for long enough. You know this. I am doing it this week because I am genuinely so angry and disgusted with the football that they have been playing. So until they prove me wrong and earn my love back, I can't, I can't do it. Yeah. Okay. Denver Broncos and the Jags. We don't have Russell Wilson right now. So maybe that's an advantage to the Broncos. Yeah. Yeah. But at the same time. I know. And the trade, the trade deadline is next week, they might start to just sell people off. They might not have Chubb or Judy. So I, who knows who is playing me now. And then if the Jaguars don't win this game, we need to look at the Jacksonville Jaguars and take everything that we said a couple of weeks to go back. Yeah. Cause I was kind of hyping them up for a minute. Yeah. I don't know if that's gonna. Yeah, we were. I think we're fine. I don't know. But Trevor Lawrence, like in the nicest way possible, might be the most boring quarterback of all time. At least Mac Jones has some like drama around him right now. Right. Trevor Lawrence is the mayor. Yeah. Um, Carolina at Atlanta. I, you know what? I wanted to pick the Falcons, but I, I don't know. I don't know what this game, I really don't. I'm just going to wait for the fun of it. No reasoning for any of the above. I just, again, for the next, I'm going to say this every week until they get another quarterback. Put Josh Rosen on your football team. If you're going to do something this year, worse, just put them on the team so we can laugh with you instead of just at you. So maybe try that one. Bears at Cowboys. Why am I thinking to myself this is going to be a good game? Like, why am I telling myself that this is going to be a good game when they are going to pick off Justin Fields like two or three times? No, this defense, I have this defense, my fantasy football team, and they have consistently saved my life. I want to, I want to say the Bears because they were trying to like convince me last night. I know. And like, Dak, I don't know how he's going to be. I don't know how it's going to go still. People are kind of upset with him. Still, I'm just going to go with the safe pick here. Yeah. But if the Bears play how they did last night, I mean, anything could happen. It's not out of the realm of possibility. That's for sure. Yeah. All right. Dolphins at Lyons. This one can get ugly pretty quick. Dolphins are going to end the game. If Tua wants to, I'm going to need Tua to target Jalen Waddell a little bit more. I know he had almost 100 yards the other night. Not enough. Not enough touchdown. Maybe like a couple touchdowns. Yeah, just a touchdown. I mean, that's not asking for much. A one yard touchdown. That's it. That's all I need. I just need the touchdown points. You know, I'm not getting enough from Tyree Kill either. And he's getting a lot of yards, but we need more touchdowns. Yeah, strictly for fantasy purposes, I want them to just blow out the Lyons. And I feel bad saying that because I like the Lyons, but I'm going to need them to lose by like 70. Oh, this one's actually kind of interesting. Arizona had Minnesota. I'm still out on the Cardinals. Me too. And I did not like the hype video. I'm not going to lie. I'm going to be a hater. I didn't like it either. I loved Deandre Hopkins. He's one of my favorite players in the league. Could have done without that. Yeah, you didn't need a comeback video because you were the reason that you weren't playing. Also, somebody, or in that video, he put free DHOP. From what? You know, this to yourself. It's a little weird. The Cardinals just like really annoy me everything about them. And Tyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury need to go to like marriage counseling or something. They are looking like three inches out there. They can't do that. This is the second week in a row that they've done it. Yeah, you can't yell at your coach like that. You can't do that. You literally went over there and you screamed, calm the fuck down. Calm the fuck down. Like multiple times. You can't. You can't. Especially with the camera right there. Oh, the cameras are everywhere. Someone's probably mic'd up too. I don't know. Trouble in paradise, I think. I don't know. Vikings. I'll just take the Vikings. It's probably going to be like a stupid game. It's probably going to be like 24 to 21 and then the Vikings are going to win. I need Justin Jefferson touchdown also. Let's make that happen. Raiders at Saints. I need Michael Thomas to start playing some football. I know he's a little banged up as per usual, but I'm going to need like a quarter zone shot in there or something. Like it's because you're just so underwhelming. I feel like they were going to be like talked about so much. It was going to be a little exciting. You know, brand new stadium. You got brand new wide receiver. Like do something cool. It's just been... All starts with the man under center. And he's very not. He's very not. And also I think I recall somebody saying that the Josh McDaniels project wasn't going to go well for the second time. And well, and behold, just not going to do that well. I'm going to take them in this game just because I don't like especially... Oh my gosh. Andy Don. Okay. Think of Andy Don. I've only had one tweet on freezing cold takes or whatever it is. One. And it was literally two years ago, couple of days ago. And it was, I said, it was when he was with the Cowboys. I said, he's going to go off tonight. And he had like four picks. No. And out of all the things I've said, that's the one they choose to use. I'm like, fine. If that's the one you're going to use, so be it. Yeah. Right. I am lucky enough to have not been on there, but I was worried for a while that my Mack Jones draft night take was going to end up on there. Yeah. I had one from my baseball Twitter account on there once. I said, when the Yankees lose, we all win. And then they came back to win a game. I was pretty upsetting. And they did that. That's annoying. It was pretty upsetting. But like that one's not, that one's not really me. So it's just one game. Anyway, the Patriots at the Jets. I wanted to pick the Jets, but I just don't know if I can do it. Listen, I know. I wanted to. I know what I watched on Monday night. And I know it was really, really ugly. And they got blown out by a team that they definitely shouldn't have gotten blown out by. I know all of this is true. It's the New York Jets. And I have lived long enough to watch the New York Jets be a laughable franchise for a really long time. And now it seems like that they've finally figured it out. And I'm happy for them. I'm happy for my friends that are Jets fans that they are experiencing some good times. They also just took two really bad blows injury wise, really bad. That's huge. I know they traded for James Robinson. I don't, I don't know if like he couldn't really this year get it all done with Jacksonville. Like I just don't know. I wanted to I really did. I really wanted to pick the Jets, but I also just don't think that they can do it. I don't think they can do it. I'm just going to go with the Patriots until they prove us wrong twice. Yeah. Right. I'm riding the Patriots defense with this one. They're going to get back to, you know, their regular form and do what they do best. And that is make Jets quarterbacks look bad. And I think that that's what's going to happen. I don't hear who starts this game because I think it's going to be a defensive game on both sides of the ball, because like I said before, the Jets defense is pretty good. I can admit that I'm going to take the paths as this is like a writing the ship game. And if lose, then I don't know, but I'm going to do it. I'm going to go, I'm going to be a little bit of a homer here and say that this is going to be where they figured out. I hope they need to. It's a divisional game. You can't go open to in the division. You can't, you can't do it. Yeah. Go pass. See nothing more like I think about everything. I just add the less confident I am, but we're going to go this week and see what happens. And then we can reevaluate what we said. I'm so tired. So we got the Steelers, we got the Steelers. We got an in-state game. Can't wait to watch. Jalen Hurds. Fuck up the Steelers. So I really like Kenny Pickett as a guy, like he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. But ball is not going very well. Not great. The interceptions. That was bad. That was really bad. You had a chance to win that game twice. Yep. Like you were this close. You're like right there. I feel bad, but it's just, it's not, it's not good. They want to fire Mike Tomlin. Grow up. Who's they though? The fans? Yeah. They want Mike Tomlin out. Mike Tomlin, the great coach. Shut the hell up already. Shut up about it. He's fine. Maybe it's the quarterback issue. Maybe that one. It's, it's, it's teams that have had sustained success over the years. All just wanting the fans just wanting to fire their good head coaches now is insane to me. Tomlin, people want Tomlin out. Half of the Patriots fan base wants Belichick gone. Like I don't, every time it's fire the coach, fire the coach, fire the coach. We try playing better. Oh, anyway. I don't know. What are we for Philly though? You know, you've got the World Series kicking off and then you're going to beat the Steelers. They've got, I'm almost positive. They, the Phillies are playing a game after, like this is a one o'clock game and I think the Phillies have a night game at night. If I play what, Friday? Yeah, Friday. I don't know, but they have a lot going on. I think that's what it said. I don't know. You know, I've, I don't know when the Eagles are going to lose. I don't think this one's not it. I don't think that they're going to go undefeated, but this isn't. Right. It's not going to be this one. Tennessee at Houston. This one I feel like is pretty safe. Again, the Texans have been putting up some points. Yeah, but they're giving up way more than right there. Henry touchdowns easy day. Don't really think the Titans are that great, but they're going to win their division. Yeah, I agree. Battle of the backups. Oh man. Now, Taylor Hineke, I like you. I just don't see you being a future starter forever in the NFL, but when you need to come into the games, you've been doing okay. Are they better off with Hineke than Carson once though? I feel like the answer is absolutely yes. Really? I think it's pretty, pretty much, I mean like a little bit more. I don't think they're that much better. Hmm. I think they're better, but I don't think it's like a significant amount. Yeah. All I know is I think this is the first week that we've both picked Washington to win a game so we can finally get those commander's fans that rag on us every week. Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't think Aaron Rodgers was going to have another meltdown. Yeah. I mean, I don't think anybody predicted that game to go the way that it did. So, chill. But Sam Allinger, Ellinger, however you pronounce his last name. I hope you have a good game. I hope you do well. Yeah, but I just don't, I just don't know. Yeah. This one has potential to be a good game, but these two quarterbacks are, I'm just frustrating. San Francisco at Los Angeles, the Rams are coming off a bye. Maybe in the last week they have figured out their issues not named Cooper Cup. Again, I just think Matt Stafford is on vacation. He's just, he won the Super Bowl. I don't think he really, it's like, I can be good if I want to. Yeah, you think? Yeah. And Jimmy G, I mean, God love him. He's a handsome guy. You know, he's trying his best, but his best isn't that good. It's really tiring watching him play football. It is. The addition of Christian McCaffrey is good for this team, but maybe we'll see more this week because he's had time to be there and prepare and do some things because it was very rushed before. That was like a massacre. Totally agree. Totally agree. He only had what? Like day of practice. He got traded Thursday night. He had a day of practice. Like, man, he has to be feeling great though. Yeah. I mean, you get out of there out of a bad situation to a potential playoff team. I would be pretty happy. And you're back where you played college football and stuff like that. Like that's it's good for him. I think that they beat the Rams because I just don't, I don't like the Rams. I don't like anything that they're doing. Yeah, I really, I really just think they're all checked out. They said, we did it. We're done. We don't have to do it again. We were good. Everybody thinks we're now, but it doesn't really matter because we have a ring and I don't know. I don't know. This is a trade, Cooper Cup. Then if you're going to, that's, that's completely insane. Right? Because they still have potential. Yeah. No, they do. I'm being unbelievable dramatic. It'd be cool. It'd be great. Trade them to the Pats. Maybe they'll solve all their problems. New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks. I was really unsure about this game and that's insane to say given the fact it's Daniel Jones against Geno Smith. I like Geno. I like what he's doing. I like him and Pete Carroll. They like hype each other up. Did you see that thing, that little clip of him? Pete Carroll from the other day. It was like, it was maybe like a fourth and one or like a third and something. I don't know. They had a little time out. He looks at him. He goes, Geno, I have something to tell you. He goes, you've got this. Keep calm. And I was like, Oh my God, you guys are so cute. It was so good. It was a good little scene, but I like it. It has to feel so good to see them picking ass while Russell Wilson is, I can't even, I have nothing to say about him. I don't even want to talk about him. I just don't. No DK though. I think that was pretty. See, oh my God, I tweeted. People were so, not people. There was this one guy. He was so mean to me. I said, I had Breeze Hall and DK Metcalf on four of my teams. And I said, I hate it here. And that guy said, that's so disrespectful to them. I said, I'm just roasting myself. Yeah. I mean, we're not sitting here saying, I'm not blaming them. I'm not blaming them for anything. It was my own doing. Right. Um, I'm just going to, I fuck it. I'm going to go with the giants until they give me a reason not to, I guess. I don't. Yep. And I'm going to go with the Seahawks because I'm picking against the giants until they lose because I can't do it anymore. I'm just glad that the chargers don't play this week, so I don't have to do that. All right. Pick. Packers. Oh, this is at this. I hope they crush Aaron Rodgers. I hope they beat them like 54 to like nine. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. Um, I think it would be absolutely poetic if given the comments today from Aaron Rodgers, he goes out there and gets sacked by Greg. Yeah. Sacked by Greg. We need Greg. Greg to come in and just, he was on the show. He's going to have a good game. He's going to have a Yankham back. Yankham back like a strip sack touchdown. Yeah, that'd be really great for him. It just, it would just be so poetic if after all the shit he said today, he had such a bad game like that. And then Jordan Love came in. It would just be, I would love it. I would love it. Imagine, imagine we get to the fourth quarter and it's face kingdom versus Jordan Love. Oh yeah. That'd be so funny. That's, let's do it. Um, the bills. I mean, the bills are, are the bills. They're good. They're a very good football team. And I don't think the Packers are unless they, and I was really, I was trying, you know, I thought maybe they could do it. Yeah, well, they can't. Well, these old guys, both of them. Yeah, maybe it's time for a break. Yeah, a little break. Both of you. And then, Oh, I don't even want, I don't even want to talk about this. I don't even want to go. Happy Halloween, Cleveland Browns, wear your fucking clown costume. Are you going? Here's my issue. I don't want to pay to go watch that. Don't play me. Now, maybe if I get there free somehow, I could do it. I could do a free loss, but I can't do a paid loss. I cannot pay $100 for Monday night football to watch Joe Burrow rip apart my football. I, I get that because we are going to the Pats game in Vegas. And if we pay for an entire fucking trip plus tickets just to watch the movie, at least it's Vegas. Like you have. Yeah. I mean, that's true. It's true. I might watch just from my couch right here, not leave the whole day and no tailgate. You don't have to sit in the cold or nothing. I just don't really, doesn't really seem like something that I want to do. I, uh, yeah, Joe Burrow just threw for almost 500 yards. I mean, yeah, so I'm concerned about what's going to happen here. Now, giving the history don't know why the Browns always play really well against the Bengals for some reason, but I just don't see that happening now. I'm not totally going to count them out just because it is an AFC North game and those are usually just a little wild dumb. Yes. Um, but I, I like the Bengals. Let's put it that way. Yeah. I'm rooting for a big game from Greg Newsom. I'm rooting for that because him and Jamar, I just don't think those two like each other. Really? Given the comments from both of them. Oh, I was going to say why, but yeah, no, I, yeah, I forgot all about that. I do not think they are a fan of one another. I'm excited to see what's going to happen with that. Pretty fun. A friend of the show. I hope he plays well. Yeah, Greg, I'm rooting for you. Do not get cooked on national TV. I can't do it. Yeah. Interception. Come on. Get one. And that's, that's it for the week. I'm tired. I'm, today was a lot. Today was, today was a lot. There was a lot. There's a lot of quarterbacks that are going to be playing that I don't want to watch this weekend. And there's a lot of new ones that we get to see. So I'm excited for that. Also, if you guys are still here and you're still listening, we have, first of all, we have a contest every week, Daily Fantasy Contest Sunday, the one in four game games. Last week we had like 200 people. I saw that was crazy. My team was not very good. Oh no, mine either. Mine was not very good. And I've been doing like pretty well. And this one was really bad because again, guys, done four. I did not want to send since we started doing this. So we can only go up from here. That's true. Hopefully. Yeah. So hopefully you guys play along. It's really fun. It's free. You can win free money. Doesn't cost you nothing. And you could potentially walk away with like 15, 30, whatever dollars, however much the first prize is. We post that usually on Fridays or Saturdays. Yeah. Just so the confusion of the Thursday games isn't there. You don't have to worry about it. Keep an eye out for that. And we hope you play and hope that we win money, but we also hope you win money too. Yeah. And next week, oh my god, next week, we have something. This week. We have something. It's a Cavs Celtics game. Oh, audience fiat. I think it's next week, isn't it? Or is it Friday? What's the date? Okay, it might be Friday. Well, don't they play like a home and home? We look soon. Yeah, Friday. We have this. It's Friday. All right. So maybe we can get one set up for that then. That'd be cool. And that'd be fun. Yeah, we should ask about that. Anyways, look for that too, because we could have that. I like those ones better, the single game one, because it's easier. But it's all I got for you guys. That's it. We're done. Thanks for sticking around for an hour and 40 minutes. You guys are nuts, but we appreciate it. And we'll see you next week. We'll see you on Tuesday.
