 guys, what is up? We are here on sportsman like conduct again week 17 was crazy. Happy new year and let's just get started. I, I don't have a lot of words for what happened this weekend aside from the fact that it was ridiculous everywhere you looked. You had guys punching people in the butt. You had guys leaving at halftime. You had stadium collapse. People fall out the rails. I like, I don't know. I don't know. That's yeah. Okay. Well, maybe grandpa. Maybe we should start there at FedEx field. What the hell? How are they allowed to function? They had what like a month ago, a month and a half ago, they had broken pipes and sewage leaks. It really had shit falling on them twice this season. And now fans are falling out of the stands because it just everything breaks. And like, yeah, I understand like those, those barrier things aren't meant to hold. Right. They're not very sturdy. That's fine. It's not their purpose. Like trying to rush at them, but like still maybe a little bit more support. Everything in the football teams organization just crumbles. It's literally so bad from top to bottom to the stadium to everything. The funniest part is they decided to wake up this morning and say, let's distract everybody from the shit that our stadium is and let's announce that we're changing our name finally. Not that we're doing it now. Did you see what it was? I saw what it was. Do you remember what they said? It's the admirals, right? Admiral because they their website is linked to that website dummies. I saw I saw a tweet that there was already a like a I think it was like a this is going to sound so ridiculous to say, but it's like a professional quidditch team. And their name is their name is the Washington admirals. Some roller derby shit is what they're about to do. Yeah, basically. Nice. Got it. But we love that for them. Rumor has it. Right. No one can do it right. It seems like I just, I don't know. What do you think the logo is going to look like? No idea. I have no idea. I don't even know why I'm asking. I don't even know. I don't know. It's going to what they should worry about is a new quarterback first. They need to worry about a lot of things. Quarterback then logo. They got to figure out the stadium ownership. They got to figure out their stadium. I think I think everybody was good with Washington football team for a little while. Right. I like the name. Yeah, I like that name. Also, I think it's, I don't know, it's just a whole mess. Everything about it is a mess and they're going to rebrand like this team did and it's going to be terrible. Yeah. I don't know. It's just so funny to me that it's like it's always the same teams that can seem to never be able to get out of their own way. Well, no kidding. You're telling me. You're telling me that one. But I saw it take stock. This is what I was going to say. I saw it stock like very early that day and it was like blowing up. It was an Eagles fan for outside the stadium. They're like this piece of shit stadium so trash, so terrible and then blew up because, you know, their stadium collapsed and then Jalen Hertz had to put out a statement. Do you see a statement? Yeah, that's awesome. I love Jalen. The fact that the organization themselves is like, just like, yeah, okay, whatever happened, we're moving on. Right. The quarterback that almost got crushed needs to come out and say, hey, what the F are you doing about this? My safety is important too, as well as theirs. So maybe you worry about that. Like imagine, imagine if they would have crushed that man. I can't. I can't. Oh my God. That would have been the not surprising, but like football team front office already has enough shit on their plate that they need to sort out this like this. I don't know the whole organization put me in charge. I'll fix it. Honestly, it could can't be any worse than what they do. It cannot be worse. I can't be worse than Dan Snyder or his wife or whoever's in charge right now. Yeah, it just to sign up. Shitty. Yeah. Speaking of shitty. Where do you want to go with that? I could go a lot of places with that. I was going to go in the Odell Beckham Junior. Okay, see, I was going to go that way too. Um, what the hell was that punch to this dude's ass? Are we surprised that he's always doing some weird shit like that? Like, I understand they're trying to punch the ball out and stuff, but like you legit punched him right in the ass cheek. Yeah, but he's like good for doing some kind of like weird stuff at least once a year. Remember like him and Marlon free like choked each other on the ground? Yeah, similar vibes. Yeah, weird. I don't know. I just, he, there's something about him that I just I love him, but I don't know why he did that. But he kept our playoff hopes alive for at least five more minutes. Yeah, sorry about that. Yeah, like he shot Odell for that. He did. He really gave us hope and then we fuck us over. I'm Joe, bro. Did I not say last week that I could see since he winning that game? Yeah, well, they have a more on the line, you know, like chiefs are just cruising right now. And since they're still going to play next week, I don't know. I don't know about Cincinnati though, man, if they might be a real, really good, a really, really, really, really good. That offense actually scares me. Joe Borough. It pains me because Joe Borough grew up a brown stand and when he got drafted by the Bengals, he had browns, blankets, helmets, everything in his room. Could we have not waited one more year for that? Nope. No, we decided to go and it's Joe Borough and those photos of him after the game. He's so cool. Yeah, he's literally so cool. Every photo he takes, so. It's so funny though, the contrast between the pictures he took with like his backup quarterbacks, punches and kickers and stuff, and the pictures he took with like T. Higgins and like the rest of the receivers. It's like night and day personalities. It's so funny. He's a grown man that quotes Spongebob every day and he's out here with the, that was funny. He's funny for that. But what I will say about the chiefs in that game, I don't understand why they let them burn the clock like that and just score. And the game, I don't, I don't get that. I really don't get that. I will, I've said this for a bit. I'll continue to say it. Andy Reed, while he is a good coach, he is a very bad situational coach. When it comes to clock man, late game scenarios, like he's just, it doesn't seem like it seems like he like over-thinks and gets ahead of himself. And like, if that's the case, like I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, like he's just like has so much going on, whatever. Or it's just too big for him and he has no idea what he should be doing. I mean, like I said, great coach. I'm not going to sit here and say he's bad, but like when it comes to situational things like that late game clock management, not the best. And it's just, he's good for at least one of those moments each year. And he had one. He had one, but right though, like it was the first, first and goal. They're almost in the end zone. I'm throwing that man in the end zone. I'm the defense. I'm on defense. I am pulling him into the end zone. We're getting the ball back. I would rather have the ball in Patrick, my home's hands to win the game than trust the defense to stop scoring. Absolutely. Especially a defense that like we've gone all year saying, well, not all year, like they give them the credit that they, they figured it out for a bit, but like started the season saying, this chief's defense sucks. Right. So when push comes to shove, I'd rather rely on Patrick, my home's than a defense that nobody really can gauge, you know, you don't know what you're going to get. Doesn't, doesn't make sense to me. But all I know is if they win again, or they lose again, this coming weekend, that helps the Pat's ridiculous odds to getting the number one chief's loose. If the chief's lose, the Titans lose and the bills lose. If all three have not going to do anything for you. Um, no, I don't believe there's any scenarios that like the bangles, uh, right, kind of factor into, because there was no head to head. And then like the common games, I think it's like dead even. So I don't think that really makes a difference. The Pat's could, I think I saw they could land in either, or in every spot except, except like three or four, I think every, they have a scenario in which they end up in every playoff spot, except for like one. And I think that's the third seed, or maybe the fourth seed. It's one of those two, but they would have to, you know, crazy things would have to happen for them to win, to make it to the one or two seed. They have to first and foremost take care of business in Miami, which has never been an easy thing to do. So we'll see this weekend's going to be ridiculous. Lots of scoreboard watching, lots of relying on bad teams to try to do things. I don't want to watch other fucking game until the playoffs at this point, because I'm so sad. I'm so sad. Yeah. What's that after the game? Which part about when he blamed his coach, when he blamed his fucking coach? Oh my God. See, I'm dropping F bombs because I'm angry. I'm really sorry guys. I'm so mad. I'm so upset. I'm so mad. I just, I literally can't do it anymore. I cannot do it. I don't know how these people have done it their whole lives. I have, but I mean it will older than me. I don't know how you sit there. You watch this and say, well, you know what? He's hurt. Shut up already. Just shut up. Stop using that one. If we would have won that game, if we would have won that game last night, he's not getting the surgery tomorrow. He's not getting the surgery this week. If he won, oh yeah, he said he's done. He's not playing anymore. He's out for the rest of the year. I am embarrassed himself on national television just so that could happen. Mind you, Big Ben's final home game after he's literally, when I say this, I'm not even exaggerating, made my life hell, always. He's literally ruined my life. Both quarterbacks together have ruined my life collectively. I just sit there and watch it. I just don't understand Baker. I just, his whole mindset, like I just, I don't get it. And then for people to say like, oh yeah, he's played hurt. Like, yeah, no shit. He's played hurt all season. Why do you think he's been so bad? That's not like- But if you say you can play, you have to perform. You can't use it as an excuse. No, a thousand percent. A thousand percent. Look at Aaron Rogers. He's hurt MVP. He also can't sit here and say, oh well, like he's hurt. So it's okay that he sucks. No, he shouldn't play hurt if he's that hurt to the point where it's affecting his play, because then that's going to, you know, affect the rest of the team. And as the leader of the team in the quarterback position, yeah, like you want your guys to be, to be tough and like, to only not play if like it's absolutely necessary. But at that point where it's, it's costing you games, he's performing terribly. Like he, he had a very average season, below average. I would, I would say below. I would go below. A lot of points. It was, it was below average. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that his throwing shoulder was hurt. It's his other shoulder. So then why is he so bad? It's the harness. This entire, this entire time I was under the impression that it was his throwing shoulder. So I gave him. No, it's not a starting shoulder. What a whiny little, okay. So then throw away everything I just said then. There's no excuse. He sucks. He sucks. He's just, he's just bad. And I don't know. I kind of understand part of it because like that's how some Pat's fans were with Cam last year. Some are like, oh no, he sucks. Like you guys are ridiculous for defending him the way you do. So like, I understand it, but Cam Newton wasn't the franchise quarterback of the New England Patriots. He was the bridge guy. He was the fill in for one year. This man is a number one pick. The first pick in the NFL draft. What's supposed to be your franchise quarterback for the next however many words? I'm sick. I'm fucking sick. I'm sick about it. He's probably so gonna be there next year. He shouldn't be. Well, what else? What else can they do? What else are you gonna do at this point? I don't know. I don't know either. I just don't know. I don't know what's gonna happen. I would actually have to sit and look and see at like the list of free agents or like trade possibilities, but like, I just think both sides should come together and be like, Hey, this obviously is not working out. It's not going to happen. Like he means everyone's like, oh, what if he turns out to be like Drew Brees? Go ahead, have fun. Try it out. I hope he does well. I hope it's somewhere else. But like he's not. Drew in San Diego was still good. Right. It's just, I'm tired. I'm so tired. Therapy session for the Browns every single week, but I really have to say, you don't understand how we have fans that go on there. I've seen so many fans last night. They were like, Baker Mayfield's the only person I haven't quit on our offense. If we're going to clip something from this episode, this is what we need to clip. I just want to say, toughness is not win a game. Where on the QB stats does, where's tough? What value does that provide to you? You're the toughest person in the world. You can still be a shitty quarterback. Great. I'm glad you want to be out there, but I wish you did not. And you're doing it 10 weeks too late. And that, that's something to say about the fans that sit there and like try to make a million excuses. Right. Like you say you're, you root for the Browns, but you do trash and everybody else. At some point you need to like take a step back, take the psycho fan hat off and look at the product on the field. Look at the way like these teams are constructed. Look at the way that these people are performing individually and then as a collective, it's not working. Something needs to change. And it seems like the common denominator here is Baker. You guys need a new quarterback, which leads us to this question in the comments. Who's going to be the Browns quarterback next year? Baker, Jamies, Trevisky, any other. I can't tell you, I cannot tell you who it is, but they're not going to draft a quarterback. I don't think I'm drafting a quarterback. That's not going to happen. I think all hell would break loose if they drafted a quarterback again. They're not going to draft one. We're not going to draft one. Realistically, it's probably still going to be Baker because we do not have very many options. Russell Wilson not going to come here. I would love him to be on my team. He's not coming to Cleveland. Aaron Rodgers is probably going to be in Pittsburgh because he's flirting with Mike Tillman every day. Derek Carr, maybe Kirk Cousins. I don't really want a 35 year old, but he is better. I see out of all of the names that you just rattled off, the most interesting one to me and the most likely I could see happening is Kirk Cousins. And I think that would set you up perfectly for having him for a couple years and then lead you into, because this quarterback, the class this year in this draft really isn't that good. So I think that would be the best one. I think all of the realistic available ones, he's the, I don't want to say the most talented, but the most efficient, I guess. There's also James, but I don't run James. I'm not really big on James. He's got his moments, but he's just so erratic, I think. He'll throw for 500 yards, but then he'll also throw for five picks the next day. I just, I don't know, neither. None of it is really going, I don't know. And then for people to say, give him more time, I'm sorry, but I'm sick and tired of wasting Miles Garrett's career. Wasting it. Nick Chubb wasting it. Denzel Ward wasting their careers. Yeah, I just, I just think a baker's done, but like his time is done in Cleveland, but I think he's done too. Like he doesn't want to be there anymore. He can say whatever I wouldn't want to be there either. Based on the things he said last night, it kind of seems like he's ready for like the split. Right. Yeah, I think it's going to go bad. I think he's, there's no one in that locker room that's really supporting him besides probably like the lineman that he gives, gives to at Christmas. And then I'm, he's got to go up to his wife and say, Hey, like, let me handle this. Stay off of social media. Quit talking. You got to quit fucking talking. How many games do you think the Rows would be at right now if they had Case Keenum when Baker Mayfield got injured? You think they'd make the playoffs? I don't know. What are they right now? Seven and eight? I think we beat the Steelers twice. I'd give him maybe two more wins, but that's enough to make it. Yeah. Yeah, especially, especially in the AFC right now, the way it's, it's right. Like everybody's beating everybody. That's enough to get in. I think, I said that yesterday and then the first reply was like, well, is he going to play with a hurt shoulder too? I'm like, no, that's the point of me saying Case Keenum. Dummy. I don't get it. I, I can't talk about these guys anymore. I can't do it. We can talk about into a round real quick. Someone said, would you give up for first for Watson? No, that's a, that's a, that's a stretch of a topic. You know, because even, is he, yeah. Short and sweet, I think right now. No one's doing that. That's the biggest waste in the world because he can easily end up on the example list and you just wasted four first round picks. Is he a phenomenal quarterback? Well, 1000%. However, just, yeah, I don't know. Not, not, not too sure about that one right now. And there's a reason why we went all season without even talking about him because I don't think it's, this is going to go in his favor, but that's just personal opinion. We'll see when we see, I guess. I don't know, but answering a brown. It will say, before I say anything about this, like he very much needs help. Like he 100% needs help. He's not all there and he definitely, he needs help. No, no, he's definitely not. But in this game. No one can be like that. He needs to accept the fact that he needs to help. He, you can't have Tom Brady literally laying his neck out on the line for you after you fuck up every single time. And then you just like waste your chances here and there. Like at some point, he's got to grow up and I just, it doesn't, based on, you know, his social media for the last couple of years, the videos of him throwing furniture off of balconies, getting in fights with the police and his baby mamas and what like it just doesn't seem like he's, he's just on the right headspace to be out there. I don't know. I don't know. So apparently the whole reason why this happened is because Arians tried to get him to go back in the game. Brown said no. Arians said, fine, you're benched. And then that's when everything came off. He did his little cheerleading act in the end zone. And honestly, that was awesome. I'm glad that happened. I'm really, I'm really kind of glad it happened. I needed that moment. I feel very I don't know. It's sad. It's sad. It's really, it actually is really sad. It is because he, like you said, he's clearly not a hundred percent in his head. If you're okay, you're not doing that. I wouldn't even say, I wouldn't even say 50. Like he's got some serious problems. And I saw a tweet the other day or it might have been yesterday that said he hasn't been the same since the concussion he took from Vontaz Burfix. And honestly, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty accurate timeline. He got popped. And ever since then that's when the shit between him and Tomlin and the Steelers started happening. And then his time with the Raiders, which again, was nothing was him blowing it up and then with the Patriots, like it's, which sometimes I forget he was even on the Patriots, that it was 11 days of just nonsense. But he's, he's nuts. It sucks. Like he's crazy, having that much talent. That's like, but that's the thing too. You are, especially right now with Chris Godwin being hurt, you're probably receiver number one balanced out with heavens. Like you are very much needed on this team now more than ever. You want to walk off because you're losing to the Jets in the first half. You have the greatest quarterback of all time defending you tooth and nail all the time, making sure that you were able to have this opportunity, letting you live with him and his wife and his family, which is also probably kind of dangerous. I'm sure Giselle wasn't happy about it. I'm sure she fought for, like for that to not happen. Right. And I'm sure she's sitting there in the back of her head trying her hardest not to say, I told you so to Tom, but I just kind of, and the craziest part is when Arian said the other day that he's not a Buccaneer anymore, he still hasn't been caught. No, I don't know if that's because they need to figure out what they can do legally, what they can do in terms of cap space and how that's going to affect it, but he's still on the roster. It's not like it's high school. You can just kick them off and say you can't come back. So I hope honestly, honestly, I hope it's because they need to figure out like the logistics of it and not because Brady's going in there and saying, hey, we can't do this to let me talk to him. Let me figure it out because as a Tom Brady fan, like I think he can do no wrong, but in this situation, like at this point, he's got to let it go. He deserves what he's getting. He deserves, like he knows that this guy's like, I tweeted this out the other day. Him and Arian's deserve every ounce of nonsense they're getting because they keep giving this dude chance after chance after chance. Right. And they just backseat cards, which is a federal crime, a federal crime. And we never got a straight answer about whether he was going to get, you know, kicked off the team after his suspension or whatever. And then the day before he was supposed to come back from suspension, Arian's was like, yeah, you know, we're going to keep him on the team. But this is his last chance. Like this is his last chance when you signed him. Right. And then he's like for you on the table chances. But that's another reason why they need him though, because they just they're dragging them along because they don't have much at the moment. Right. And that's, but that's like that to me, if that's the reason why he's still on the roster, that's going to make me like kind of disappointed in Brady because like, yeah, but like, yeah, I get it with him last year, but like, I get it though. I get it though. It's more than football at this point. Like it's starting to tarnish your reputation a little bit because you keep defending this dude and you keep trying to do whatever you can to make sure this dude gets his, his chances. The coach looks like an idiot too. I mean, I don't like Bruce Arian's and like, he just looks like a jackass in this entire thing, because when you signed Antonio Brown, you said one mess up and he's gone. Okay. Well, this is like mess up number five. It's, I don't know. That's my rant on the bucks at this point. I have no sympathy for what they get out of this guy because it's not like he doesn't have a track record and it's not like you can't say that you didn't see this coming because history will show. That it just very much always happens. It happens a lot. So, but he was court-side last night at the Nets game. So that's cool for him. Uh, yeah, he was and then he's just out doing all. Did you see when he got picked up in the Uber? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So either, I thought there was like a random Uber now. He's like a driver for like players in New York. Yeah, but still. Yeah, posting it all over his, his Instagram and stuff. What the video, the first video I saw was like, oh, like we about to go viral and he's abys in the back, like laying down in the seat. Like, I don't know the whole thing with this dude. Ah, it's just so crazy. I don't know. And it's going to be, it's going to be really disappointing if Brady continues for, well, for me, at least if Brady continues to, you know, stick up for him and defend him and try to give him all these chances just so he can continue to win. Full rings because that's, you don't, you don't need him. I mean, maybe right now you do because Godman's out, but like you don't, he's not. I know, but he's so good. He's so good and that sucks. Yeah, but at some point talent like can't be the end. I'll be all, you know. Well, listen, I'm telling you right now, it was my team and we had the chance. I would say put him on there right now because our talent is on the floor. Talent is zero percent. I don't know. Also too, like he quit. You guys were losing and he just like up and left because he threw a hissy fit. Like you want that, right? You want that on your team? Yeah, no, I didn't really. For the Jets, Stephen. And then they ended up winning and they ended up winning the game. Really think you're going to lose to the Jets. Come on. Now, with that being said, I'm hoping the bills actually really think that they can lose to the Jets this week, but. That'd be good for you, but I just don't. Just not seeing it, not seeing it happen. Me either. I'm hoping these, these, some of these teams are already like, yeah, well, we're already in the playoffs. The bills won't because the division is still on the line. But like, yeah, well, like that's just like weird for us right now, because they all are fighting for that number one though. Like they're all trying for that. It's not like there's just one clear cut. I don't think the bills there. I don't think the bills could take the number one spot, but between KC, Tennessee and the Pats, they definitely could. Right. Because I'd have to pull up the bills scheduled, but I'm pretty sure they lost to Tennessee. I don't remember. And I would have to look, but, but that kind of leads us into play. It's playoff time already. That's ridiculous. The season went by so fast. It went by so fast and it was so wild and so crazy. I couldn't even predict anything that happened. Like if you would have told me anything that happened just this past week, I would say, okay. Well, that's like we said before the show. How many times have we come on here and said this was the most ridiculous Sunday I could remember? Almost every time. Literally almost every time. Like there's not been a week that's been normal. So I don't know. Playoffs right now. Playoffs right now. It would be Chargers Chiefs, Cold Spangles, and you would be playing the bills. At Buffalo. Yes, ma'am. Titan's on buy. Yep. As it stands right now. Right. Honestly, I wouldn't mind it if the Pats had to go on the road. They were four and five at home this year. Like, I'd rather, they're just a better road team statistically. I'd rather, I'd be okay with them playing a game on the road at this point. I'd be okay with them playing a game on the road at this point. I wonder what it's like to play off game. Maybe not buff. It's, they're fun. They're very fun. I would imagine they'd be really fun. They're a lot of fun. Like I don't think that they would be so much fun. Especially when it starts to snow, right. As your kicker turner is returning one for a touchdown. It's awesome. Right. That'd be sick. Right. Wander touchdown or what that's like even. Yep. My god. I don't know. I don't know what they're going to do for you, Gab, but they got to do something. It's never going to happen. I'm just, I'm just so used to it at this point. Like my, I'm just exhausted. I will say though, like back to like the Ben game and I hate that man. Like I said, I hate that man. He's ruined my life, but I felt a little sad about it. I was a little emotional watching it. Okay. Thank you. I was watching it last night too. It kind of upset me. Like I was like, damn, like I hate you, but like it kind of, I can't hate you anymore because you're not going to be there and then you're still going to be my team. Like I don't like the guy. I never have. Right. I don't like you, but like seeing all those people like care, like he cared so much about that city and how much they cared about him. Like I was like, damn, like I'm never going to experience anything like that in my life. And we had the brawl, but he leaves and comes back. So. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like I, again, I'm in the same boat as you. I have never, ever liked Ben Rothesberger. Ever. And you know, he's off the field stuff too. Like that's a whole nother thing, but I think he's like a really not good guy. But I watched that last night and like I teared up a little bit. Yeah, I was, I was a little emotional, not going to lie. And like everybody talking about it too. Like man. I caught myself like welling up and I was like, what the fuck happened to me? Why am I crying over this freak? What is this? Yeah. Like it was, it was a lie. Like all the people with the signs, we went in the stadium maybe like an hour and 20 minutes early because we had some stuff we had to do inside when we were there. And the amount of people that were already in there was absurd. I've never seen that many people in a stadium already in my life. Grown men crying. Yeah. That's the one reason why I wish like Brady kind of just came out and said like, hey, this is my last year as a patriot. Right. So you could have that moment with him. Yeah. I didn't add something like that. You were kind of leaving on Beltran about it. Yeah. I mean, I would have liked to see Antonio Brown's tweets about it if he decided to pop any out or they were gold. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, big Ben for, you know, all intents and purposes. Like he was, he was a good, he was a good quarterback. He really was. Those Steelers teams, I mean, Pat's always beat him. Not always, but 95% of the time, but I was always afraid to play him. So. Right. Like, you know, it's always going to be a good game. Yeah. But, oh well. Cheers to your time. I'll see you. See you later. See you. Never. See you. Bye. See you later. You're out. I put this little graphic. I don't know where it is. I see it now. And it was like, who would you rather have? I think it says like the next 10 years, maybe Joe Burrow or Herbert. And that's such a hard question. That is really hard. I really, I really want to. I want to say Herbert. I do. I do too. I really do. I want to. I just think more from like, and like I've said this every time I feel like we talk about it, I say the same damn thing, but just from like a mechanics standpoint, like I just think he's got the more, the more like precise mechanics. Like I love watching him, you know, go through his progressions, read coverages, scramble if he has to, step up in the pocket. Like I just, it looks more like a fluid motion. Like he's done this for forever. He knows exactly what he's doing. And that's not to say Burrow doesn't have that. I just think, I don't know. I just think I like Herbert a little bit more. Like he's got the edge for me, but they're both insanely good quarterbacks for their age. Both are going to be great for their teams for a long time. Oh my God. If I was a fan of either one of these teams, despite like, I know the charters, like the season was a little bit of a letdown for them. But despite that, like I would be so excited about the future of my football teams because of these two guys. And if fans aren't, like I, You can swap them out real quick. What more do you want? What more do you want? People like, look at Miami with Tua, no offense. Look at the Browns with Baker. People draft these quarterbacks so high, and when they don't pan out, then you have to go through the process all over again. And you have to wait it out too as a thing. These guys are panning out. I mean, Herbert last year was ridiculous, and he was a rookie. Like, Just imagine drafting Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold. Who's the other one in that draft? Josh Allen. Oh, I was going to say before him, who was drafted before him? Trying to think of who else was in that draft. Josh Rosen, that's right. Imagine drafting all three of them before Josh Allen. I will say though, if the Browns would have drafted Josh Allen, he would have been ruined. He would have been done. Like he wouldn't be what he is right now. We would have ruined him. Josh Rosen, and then Josh Rosen got pissed that he got picked at like eight or nine because he thought he should have been first overall. And now he's on like his. That's what I made to tell you this, but. This year. You're trash. Looking good in college. Like, I don't, I don't know what what he, I mean, good for you for being confident in yourself and whatever. But like, man, I didn't think he was that good in college. You even get drafted in the spot that he did. I don't know. But that's the fact that, yeah, the fact that all three of those guys got taken over to Josh Allen is like a crime. And Lamar. Damn. Yeah. You hate to see that. Yeah. So to this day, some people say the patch should have taken him because they had the, they were at pick 31 that year or 30 that year. And they took a, is that the year they took Sony, Michelle or Isaiah when they took them both back to back. But I can't remember. I don't think Lamar would be a good fit for the Patriots. I didn't either. I just don't think that would work out. I think he just, you know, like him and Bill Belichick. I don't like it. I don't think the patch will ever adjust to the more running quarterback style of play. Yeah. The more, you know, mobile quarterback like centric offense. And that's one of the reasons why I wanted them to draft Justin Fields because I feel like that's the way the antebell is moving. Get with the times or get left behind. But like I've said before, thankfully I was wrong. This is why I'm not the GM. This is why I don't do, sit in the war room and do like make the picks or whatever because, hey, stupid idiot. That's obvious. That's wrong. Mack Jones is good. Like, hi. Just imagine though, you have, why would Bill Belichick do? He would literally have a heart attack if Lamar Jackson was your quarterback and he front flipped into the end zone. Yeah. Stroke on the sideline. Front one from the end. Let him in it. I don't know. I don't know if he could handle all that. Yeah, I just don't think. I mean, it'd be exciting. It'd be exciting. Tom Brady, we all know was not the most fleet of foot. Mack Jones really isn't either. I don't know. I feel like it would have given Josh McDaniels a lot more. Right. Room to work. But I don't, I just don't think that's, at least while Belichick is head coach, I just don't think that's the style of offense that they want. But I mean, I wanted to change this year. So I could change when he retires, if McDaniels takes over. Who knows? Yeah. So, I don't know. What's that? That's week 17. What was it? 17? This is? Yeah. We got one more. We have one more week. Last week of picks. Thank God. And so the fun starts happening. Okay. I just want to preface this by saying, there are some picks on my column that are completely ridiculous, stupid. I know that. They're there for a reason. Please don't clown me. They're there for a reason. I've stated it before. I will state it again. These are specifically games in which I need the team I picked to win to elevate the Patriots' seating. It's not because I think that team is better than the team that they are playing. It's because, selfishly, I need them to win. So please don't roast me. Please realize that this is a well-thought-out thing. I know that the teams I picked suck. I know the Jets suck. I know the Texans suck. I know all of this. But. But just bear with us and deal with the program. You know what's going on. Happen. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Chiefs. And here we go. Broncos. Let's go Broncos, baby. Okay. Chiefs already have their division wrapped up. Rest the guys. Take a hit. Take a loss. Who cares? I still think they win. With some rest. Yeah, I'm sorry. I just don't. I just don't want to. So go Broncos. Who the F is even their quarterback right now? Teddy Brady Rogers hurt. Didn't Drew Locke get hurt the other day too? Drew Locke might be worse than Baker Mayfield. I'm sorry. I'll say Drew Locke is my like bottom five quarterback in the NFL and that's including backups. Yeah, I agree. He's not. And that's a little mean, but I'm serious when I say that. He is not that good. I'm not even kidding around at all. I truly can't even tell you who the Broncos third string quarterback is. So that's good. Whoever he is, I hope he plays well and I hope they win. Well, we will see about that one. Cowboys and the Eagles. That's a big game. Cowboys just lost Michael Gallup too. Torn ACL. Yeah, that they did. That's a very big blow. He's, I mean, their receiving course is really good and he factors into that. And now I got to rely more on, you know, it's like champagne problems. You have to rely more on C.D. Lam and Amari Cooper. But you do. I mean, you need them to step up just a little bit more than they have. Yeah, I would also, same, but I would also just like to say the Eagles have just really surprised me. Yeah, me too. They really have. Especially from like the way the season started. I thought they were going to win three games. I was all aboard. The Jalen Hurts is over ready to trade. I love him. He's figured it out, I think. I think so. Yeah. This one, I mean, this could very well. Lions. This could very well be a game that the Packers lose just because they're literally playing their third string everybody. Because they already locked the number one seed. Yeah. So like they're, Dan Campbell will get some more points for your fan base, maybe. Yeah, there you go. Just let the Lions win one more and quality years. Yeah. Pack it up and we'll try again next year. I mean, I still think, I still think the Packers would win, but yeah. Oh yeah. Now we got the Colts and we got the Jags. Jags, that was literally the worst performance I've ever seen in my life by football team, besides my own. Terrell, Colts also not very good. Thank you. However, they're going to win and they're going to win a playoff game. Okay. So interesting thing about this game, I'm sure you saw, I think we talked about it this morning. Yeah. The Colts have not won in Jacksonville since 2014. If the Colts lose this game, the Sunday night game between Vegas and the Chargers can end 0-0 tie and they both make playoff. And they both make it. So if- Which would be crazy. If the Jaguars can beat the Colts, who's to say that Vegas and the Chargers both don't just run the ball the entire game and like take four knees before the goal line, turn over on downs and just end the game 0-0 so they both make the playoffs. Like- Right, but Chargers win that game too, so it doesn't matter for the readers. Yeah. No, I agree. I know, I think they will, but I'm- What? I picked the Raiders, but- I didn't pick the Chargers. I forgot to change that one. I picked the Raiders, but I'm saying that the Chargers are better. I don't know, Derrick Carr is- He stinks. I need Derrick Carr on my football team. He stinks, he stinks, he stinks. Derrick Carr does not stink. Derrick Carr is good. Better than Carson Wentz. Come on, is he better than Carson Wentz? Oh, yeah, well, I'm better than Carson Wentz. Now, come on, let's not roast Carson Wentz like that. I'm better than Carson Wentz. Did you- Okay, not to get into the whole COVID thing, but did you see what he said yesterday? Whatever he says, it's not going to be surprising because I know he's very much what he is. He tested positive for COVID, said he felt sluggish, but he doesn't think that that's from COVID. Gotcha. Okay, right on brother, you're right. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Anyway, anyhow, okay, the product of football that the New York Giants put on the field on Sunday, they should refund their fans. Everybody that went to that game to watch the New York Giants play football deserves to get their money back. Well, I said earlier, I said every game that you attend, if your team doesn't score more than 10 points and they lose, you should be refunded. You should be refunded from that game. You should get free beer for the next one. Like, they had a total of negative 24 air yards. That's impossible to do, like that's actually... As a professional team, what are we doing? They're absolutely terrible. I don't feel bad for Giants fans ever because they never shut up about those two Super Bowls, but I'm close on this one. I'm close. Football team wins and they're also not good. None of these games are exciting or good so far. Yeah, I think the best game of the week is probably going to be San Fran LA. Yeah, and I think the 49ers win this football game. Yeah, Rams are too hot and cold, and I don't like it. I don't like what I see from them. Matt Stafford the other day, like... He's been garbage. He's been so bad. He's... I don't know who he's throwing to. I don't know. Yeah, he's... He's been extra generous. It's kind of showing that maybe the narrative that Detroit was the problem wasn't 100% accurate because he still has the interception issues that he had in Detroit. He just didn't have as much in Detroit though. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, all of these games... I mean, we don't need to go through all of these games because they're all kind of crappy. A lot of them don't count for shit. Steelers, Ravens. I think the Steelers win this game. It's Big Ben's last game ever. It's going to be probably... I don't see them getting into the playoffs with the things that are happening. Do they make it anyway? I don't know. So that's what I was just about to ask you. If they win, are they in or do they need... Steelers playoff scenarios. Eight hours ago by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Okay. Here we go. They need to win. They need Indy to lose. And they need Vegas and Chargers to not end in a tie. And then they're in. So they're not making the playoffs. I think they're good. I really... There's something about Indy and this seven-year streak of not being able to win in Jacksonville. I'm not buying it. I'm not going with it. The Colts are winning this weekend. The fucking Jags scored how many points? Three? Ten. One of the Garbage Showns that they're in technically. They scored three points. And they expect to beat the Colts? No shot. Steelers, I really do think that they beat the Ravens. I do think that they beat the Ravens. They end Big Ben on that one final little goodbye loop, even though he's been on a revenge tour for seven years. Yeah. I think they win. Ravens, season, also trash. But you can't even say that about them, because like straight up they are playing with no one. Yeah. I don't know. I could see Pittsburgh doing it. Just one more for that man. Call it quits. And then get smacked in the playoffs. Browns, Bengals. I don't think the Bengals are going to arrest anyone really, because I think that they want this. Yeah. I don't think so either. And they're just, they're really on fire right now. They really, like it's, it's crazy. Right. Which I'm surprised that Baker Mayfield isn't playing in this game. I know he got embarrassed on national television, but he literally always lights it up against the Bengals. He has wrecked the Bengals every single time he's played against them, except for the time Andy Dalton through field length picks back to back throws. He probably feels like this, just like it doesn't matter. Why am I going to do that? Yeah, but like. I feel like for him, like you waited this long. So why can't you play the Bengals? The only team that you can ever be and perform well. Do one more good thing or do you not have the confidence in yourself to do it? I don't know. I don't know. Case Keenum is going to, case Keenum is going to win this game in spite of Baker Mayfield, but there's no shot that the Browns actually win. I would like to see it. Yeah. Well, I would like to see. I would like to see the Cincinnati wins. I would like to see the Patriots beat Miami. That's the biggest, the biggest game of the week. Obviously for me, lots of implications here. You're going to need to try to throw the ball behind him again. Yeah. Well, listen, I don't want to hear anything about Miami's seven game win streak because look at who they played on that seven game win streak. It was like the Jets twice Houston, Jacksonville. Like it was the giants too. Like it was garbage. You played the solid seven, a solid seven. You played the bottom of the barrel teams, seven games in a row. Congratulations. You won all of those games. You should. And then they go out and they play the Saints with a decimated COVID team, beat them, but then they come right back to normal and then they get smacked around like it's. So with that being said, the Patriots going down to Miami is never an easy thing for them to do for some reason. I don't think they lose this game, but there's a lot on the line if they do. Okay. What happens if they do? If they do, they don't drop out of the playoffs at all. Okay. So they already have clinched a playoff spot, but if they lose and if like a couple of other things happen, they could go into the playoffs with the seven seed and then have to go potentially to Kansas City, which would suck. So they need to win this game. They need to stay in the three to five range is what I'm saying. So yeah, like Buffalo, I think is really going to kick the shit out of the Jets. It'd be nice if the Jets actually won. They almost beat Tampa last week. So we don't think it's really out of the realm of possibility, but. But Buffalo, yeah, I mean, like the Jets are doing some weird stuff all year. However, Buffalo will win this football game. Yeah. And that's what that's it for that. I hate that. Okay. One more thing, one more topic for us. Not football related. I just really want to see what you think about it. Okay. Tristan Thompson. Oh, please. Please. Why did Tristan Thompson post that on his Instagram story? First of all, I want everyone who said that it was fake when, like this came out a couple weeks ago about like this girl posting that, you know, he fathered her child and things like that, saying that it was fake. I want an apology from every single one of you, because I knew that something this ridiculous is not fake. This is Tristan Thompson's M.O. This is what he does. If Chloe Kardashian goes back to this man, I don't feel sympathy for her at all right now because she continues to do it, but she does it again. Like you stupid idiot. You're asking for it at this point. I saw an article like someone posted it was the funniest headline I've ever read in my life. It reads, condomless clown king Tristan Thompson cries tears to Chloe over infant in discretion. Apologizes. For rampant raw doggery and whoever wrote that 10 out of 10, literally 10 out of 10. However, I just don't know why he went on his Instagram story to write that. Like, can you not call her? You have her phone number. She probably blocked him. I would, I would assume she blocked every. Y'all got lawyers. Reach out there. There's no reason for you to be posting that on your Instagram story. Looking like you embarrassed her. She embarrassed herself also, but she doesn't deserve that. Like that was so bad. He's so terrible on your Instagram story. It makes no sense to me. Three slides. Put it all in one. Like how stupid do you have to be? Like, yeah, okay, you cheat. You get caught. You make up for it, whatever. You cheat a second time. She should have left his ass, but don't you think he like he would learn too? This is he cheated on her like 10 times. This is the second Pryld he has not by her. Like, just keep it to yourself, man. Like, why on her, on her ones with one of their families, one of her sister's best friends. Like, get a fucking at this point. Tie it up. Stop doing it. Snip it. Just quit it. You're wasting so much jam money. You're going to have to start being on dancing with the stars. You're going to have to start getting all these side gigs to fund it. Because your ass isn't going to be in the NBA for much longer. I don't. You're going to have to get to keep me up with Kardashian extension. You're going to have to be making appearances. He should come out like, this is what Tristan Thompson should do. He should come out with some safe sex topics to spread to the youth to say, you should not be like me. You know, you know what he should do? He should go on these like Oprah special interviews that like Prince Harry did and Adele did. Right. He was one of those. My strange addiction. Can't pull out. That is Tristan Thompson. Yeah. And that's all I got to say about him. I can't believe that man, Lily, was running around Cleveland. He only has 20 more kids here. He just don't know about. I don't want to know what that, I don't want to know what the hell he did or who he did it with in Boston because. Tristan Thompson was before my going out prime. So I've never seen him. Yeah. Thank God. Luckily, I never hung out in the fancy bars that he went to. I can't afford that. So I dodged that bullet. Don't worry. He's not going anywhere fancy. He's in the damn trenches. And that's all I got to say. That's all I got to say about that, man. I don't know. I got to get ready to go to the airport. I just got a text in my flight's delayed. So. Oh, nice. We love that. It should be fun. Can't wait. So yeah, that's that's you see this week. Um, ridiculous nonsense per usual in the national football league and from Tristan Thompson. So just another week. Just another week. I died. I just don't know. So with that being said, uh, we'll see you guys next week. Same time, same place. Thank you, uh, as always for participating in the chat, helping us when we have brain farts and can't remember really bad quarterbacks that were drafted way too high. Um, and I think that's it. Yeah. Good luck guys. I hope your football team wins this week. Go Pat. Okay. See ya.
