 What's up everybody on sports and like conduct back again with another week talking about NFL NBA move drama drama drama Yeah, we got a lot to talk about there are a lot of teams in the national football league that have issues Issues major major issues I'm gonna talk about them all major It's there are some teams that might be missing playoffs some teams that might have a complete make The playoff entity next year make the playoffs that nobody thought was gonna happen So we're gonna talk about all that and we are supposed to have blatant on the show today the literal smartest football mind I know So he's gonna give us his two cents on all that as well, which we're very excited about but before we get into that we got the five things and I Just I can't believe we're starting off with this one. I feel like it's every week. We talk about either this skims campaign Brittany Mahomes Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey Patrick Mahomes, and that's basically the order that we're going down real quick right now so Brittany Mahomes we talked about it last week come back of the century like of The ages she has had this redemption arc Especially for me as somebody who has not been her biggest fan over the last however many years or whatever But she and her family are now the new faces of skims like their little cute little Christmas pajama line and stuff like that and she's just she's back and in a whole new light that I feel like a lot of us as Fans of the NFL who maybe like gave her a little bit of an unfair criticism over the however long I Mean she's she's crushing it. She's holding hands with Taylor She's a model for one of the biggest clothing lines in the world right now It's crazy unbelievable It's a great character redemption arc. I don't think I've ever been Anti-Britney Mahomes. I know she's had moments where I'm just like why would you say like when she would say about the chiefs Like everybody's against us. I get it though. You were all in on supporting your husband, which we would be the same way Yeah, we were in those situations 100% but we're not so we're not doing those things, but no I don't know just having fun just crush it. I'm just whatever good for her but that also Kind of ties into this next thing which I Potentially could have been fine without knowing this information Yeah, I'm ining on the manning cast Monday night Patrick Mahomes admitted that he has lucky underwear Which like as anybody who played sports even if you just play high school sports like we did you have a lucky something I had a lucky head man Like stuff like that but he admitted that he has lucky underwear that his wife got him and When the chiefs are at I quote on a hot streak You can't wash them. He says and you think he's for real what he says that Yeah, I really do because I Did not wash my Tom Brady Jersey for probably four seasons. Yeah, but that's different There's like a lot of stuff going on there. Well, okay, so but that's my point like I'm doing this just as a fan With I'm not I'm not playing running around sweating gross disgusting everywhere. I don't know man It'd be serious about that. I I do I really have to talk about the MVP odds if he's serious about that I think he is serious because Brad Marchand guy on the Bruins has These gloves that if you just like look at them, they're the most raggedy Disgusting things they probably smell to the high heavens and Like he refuses to change them. He doesn't wash them. Just don't do anything. They there's holes in them and everything. It's disgusting But like that's about one another. We need to know far like you don't need to know that You're a good quarterback. We think you're a great quarterback We think you're one of the best we've ever seen the underwear if we don't need to know about I don't But we don't need to know about the other ones. I don't need to know about the Say that though Or hey, let me tell the world this because this is gonna go real well I don't even I was like a half paying attention And then I heard the underwear thing and then I think it was Eli who was like you don't wash them And then he was like, oh, no, I do but like if we're on a hot streak like, you know, I got a lot of ride or whatever What does that mean? Clean underwear. I guess they don't have like I don't know what you've been in the league for how long I Don't even want to know. I don't know. I don't know. Whatever whatever helps you get the wins though I don't have to know about it Hey, whatever we've spent more time talking about Patrick. My home is under where is that I care to spend more than I thought ever in my life Yeah, no, I don't know whatever works dude. That's That's fine. I guess but just like Please wash your underwear I go What else what else is going on in the karma is a guy on the chiefs Karma's a guy in the chiefs that probably washes his underwear after a game I would hope to God for Travis Kelsey, but you guys didn't see I know you're probably tired of it Taylor Swift It's Argentina and I loved every second of it Sang karma and switch the lyrics up and said karma is the guy on the chiefs I'm just coming straight home to me I've been on record like I'm not a Swiftie. I wouldn't consider myself a Swiftie, but like I like her music I always have but I'm not like crazy superfan or anything like that Nothing nothing that has like happened in her life or whatever has made me be like, oh my god Can you believe this happened like Taylor Swift or whatever? This was it for me now? I don't know. I don't know why but I heard the lyrics and then I saw the video after like of her running off the stage and everything I was like, oh my god The video of her running off the stage is great. Oh my god I'm with the video of him hearing her say that in the song with her dad Even better. Did you see his chiefs lanyard? He is such a fanboy and it's it's cute No, her dad is probably having the most fun out of all of this even though he's an Eagles fan Seeing wearing that chiefs lanyard standing beside Travis Kelsey was so funny and so good That's gonna be an interesting week in that household this week. Oh, yeah The Kelsey ball Yeah, like else I like about Travis Kelsey what she stated all these men But Travis Kelsey, he is the manliest man that she's ever been But he is the most secure and lets her just do whatever she wants and has fun and supports her and roots for her and People should take notes. I mean you look at her dating history of the guys and it's just right I mean, I'm sure they're all nice people and whatever no knock on them. But like also There's a reason why all these songs are written about you and like multiple ones at that Um But also that's like one side to every story whatever who cares. There's a whole rabbit hole that we can go down about that but like he just seems Like just so at peace with like who he is as a person and I feel like that that's helping her To where she doesn't have to like compensate for a guy who maybe doesn't care about like going to her shows and stuff Celebrating that yeah, I don't know. I don't know. This was the one thing where I was like, oh my god I'm in in on this relationship So what happens when they get married in Cleveland, Ohio? Do they shut down the city for the day? I need to know I mean Party I need to know the ins and outs of like the wedding planning and stuff Who's gonna be in the bridal party who's gonna be in the groom like party? I need to know I Hope it happens, but We'll see um Couple bills comments going on here don't worry already. We're out. We're getting there. We will talk about that trust me I have a lot to say What else? Aaron he's expected. Oh, we can go Jim hard bar. We go Aaron Rodgers. Which one you want to do? Let's finish up Rogers first because keeping the theme of Swifties and stuff Yeah, Aaron Rodgers. I think he's swifty crazy man. Um, he said Thanksgiving. Is that correct? He's expected to be full-time with the team again at Thanksgiving because we know why he couldn't get into for Thanksgiving part, but that doesn't really matter He said today that he has a lot of thoughts on Please research and a lot of things that he wouldn't be allowed to say on TV. So he kept it to himself I don't know what that means. I Don't know what that means. Well Okay, so he kept it to himself, which is interesting because he's always been very outspoken about his thoughts about medical Well, they probably said Pat McAfee probably said hey We can't give you all this money if you're gonna keep saying these things So maybe just tone it down a little bit and we'll keep pushing Yeah, dollars Okay, whatever all of that nonsense aside, I Just don't think coming back and actually playing the season is a good idea Because that's gonna make the playoffs. No What did we do you coming back? They would need to win out for them to even have a shot. What's their record right now? They're what four and five or six something like that They would truly need to win out I don't see that happening You got they are more inside. Okay, so I mean so at best What they finish 12 and 5? What the hell Like I it's just not possible One for that reason alone shouldn't do it to you're coming back from like a serious injury a serious surgery That people take their time to come back from and a lot of us have a real high rate of Happening again How many guys have we seen in the last two years who have already injured their Achilles before that have done it to get? Cam Acres just did it like I think it was the opposite one, but like still oh well even so then you overcompensate from one and it injures the other like I just It just doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't just take the rest of the season off Go full rehab to a hundred percent even a hundred and ten percent rehab past the point of rehab and Then just bring it back for next year and see what you can do because it's a lot Right, I'm not I'm not here to age shame Aaron Rodgers by any means But at 40 years old your body is a lot different than you were Two years ago like you need to take time and rest to come back Even playing a pool season at this now probably takes a toll on your body Plus you have to worry about this injury It's just it doesn't make sense. I don't know it also is such a him thing to do because he needs to be the It's like it. He's ego maniacal. That's what it is. That's what it is. He just needs to Prove that he can do something that nobody else can do and whether it ends good or bad remains to be seen But I just feel like it's such a bad idea. There's no point. You don't have anything to prove Did you see a sweet Jack Jones? Oh He tweeted. Oh, he tweeted. Oh boy Would you like me to read it? Yes, please Thank You Pat's Nation and Pat's organization. I appreciate everything about the experience. I had with the past It's love forever new chapter blessed to be a guest the team. Oh the Raiders. I saw Okay, there we go bless to be a raider. I saw it makes a lot of sense It's they all just go it's just coach. They're still going The coach now though coached him in high school and in college like it makes sense But also even if that wasn't the case he was gonna be a raider either way That's where all former Patriots go. It used to be the Texans and now it's a raider As I got a lot of thoughts about the whole Jack Jones situation too, but like it's just well we have a whole Little mini segment about diagnosing the Patriots issues and their future and what not so we'll get into that too, but Let's wrap this up and talk some college football coaches who Just wow, what a banner weekend or college football head coaches specifically ones named Jim or a variation of Jim Jim bow Um, let's start with Jim bow because that's like the shorter of the two. He's out fired They don't want him anymore. Can't play he might have the best job Right now that it made he doesn't have to do a damn thing and he's getting what seventy seven in his life dollars They said we will give you seventy six million dollars to do Absolutely not leave us alone get away from our football program That's great career. That's great I mean, I I always say backup quarterbacks haven't made because like they really most likely will make except for this season Don't have to do much Just you know prepare a little bit like worst case scenario You have to go in for a couple plays in the game in a normal season Obviously not this one where everybody's hurt left and right And you still rake a couple mill each year Being a failed college football coach might be better than that because you get Even a Raiders coach at this point you get a bag You likely only have to waste maybe two to three years before They decide to move on and you still get to keep all that money that you signed for so Who's the I mean who's the real loser in that situation? It's definitely the school It's not the guy that's without a job so Jim Boe Fisher, I mean Man that sucks that you lost your job, but like does it really like hey congrats on the payday You don't have to do a single thing and Then and then Jim Harbaugh this whole this whole Michigan thing. I'm sick of it. I'm tired of it I don't want to hear about it anymore, but it's just No, we're gonna we're gonna keep hearing about it for a while. It's a big trend They like every so many years they take turns on which head coach is going to get caught doing Something stupid. Yep in this time. We are at Michigan. We've been at Ohio State Penn State Michigan State Michigan. It's now your turn. We'll have to hear about it forever My only complaint about this is I don't know why We are saying things to the players. What did you what do you want the players to they are there for scholarships? They are there because they were recruited. Do you want them to just get up and leave and go to another school? It doesn't work like that So I made a joke about the players, but that's because they like had their free gym So like what are people saying like oh like you should have known you should have gone to a different school stuff like that Well, it's not it's not like you should have gone to a different school, but they're like you're part of the problem I can't believe you guys let this happen. What did you want them to do? Oh, it's you're 18 years old. I don't know Yeah, what was they probably didn't yeah, I don't know I did see a tweet though That this stallions guy whoever was like the mastermind behind all of this was like roommates or something with I Can't remember who the player was but like they have like an LLC together Like what was it? Yeah, was it quorum and then he was asked about like, oh, will you guys have an LLC together? What's this about he goes no, we don't I don't know anything about it And somebody pulled like the filing for the LLC itself and like it was signed off by quorum and everything like that So I mean, I mean, what do you want? I don't think I don't really think anybody aside from like the staff I don't truly think the players really knew the nitty-gritty of all of it and like how deep this actually got But there's no I truly don't think there's any realm of possibility where Harbaugh didn't know that this was happening Whether he whether he like ordered it to be happened or something like that like I don't think that's the case But he knew about it. So I don't know the whole the whole things that I like this I like this comment right here because This makes me think this and then we'll bring played and on so Ohio State fails to beat Michigan this season With or without Jim Harbaugh. Where does this leave Ryan day? That's gonna be a real bad look if they can't be Michigan. They how many times are they last time in row two three two? More than you can't know better than me. I don't know. I well, you know Maybe sometimes it's good when you don't be Michigan because then you'll go on into the NFL and be in the running for MVP You're up in so well I mean we were already talking about Ryan day's future at the beginning of the season when they just barely beat Notre Dame so like It might be the nail in the coffin, but it's not going to be like the dramatic Oh, well, you couldn't do this to refiring you like there were many things leading up to it if Yeah, but they could all go down and say you don't meet you don't beat Michigan. That's what we do here You gotta go. Yeah, I don't know Are you tired of Michigan because the Patriots did the same thing. I'm begging you guys. It's been so long It's been so long. Please read up on my god if you have not yet because you will see how Spygate deflate gate all that crap Like do your research before we talk, please. I'm so tired of having this conversation. Oh my god. Anyway, we're bringing blade in on We're bringing blade in on blade in get in here Later, hello, if you guys don't know who blade in days one shame on you You need to after this depends are you a dolphin's fan if you're a dolphin's fan, you probably don't want to know Guys, I found out dolphins fans are really scary recently and I did not know that they were they hate me because they've been digging up my old to a tweets You know, we all have those we're allowed to have growth and move on from things. Come on. Oh, I'm not moving on You're saying that's why they still hate me it's because I'm not moving on That's whatever If we want to start there we can just go right in we can just go AFC East, yeah What the heck not football pretty mid across the board the dolphins may be the best team I don't know but we don't know still in the bills are in shambles and the jets are in shambles and Aaron Rogers It's coming back and the Patriots are in last place of the entire AFC not good are dead And so we don't really need to get into that one yet, but I Mean we let's just talk about the bills. Let's just start off with the bills. What the hell is going on? They have kind of the same problem they did last year to a much more magnified extent I think Which is their defense is super injured and their offense solely relies on Josh Allen hero ball If you have like a Gabe Davis drop that gets intercepted and adult and concave drop, it's like How many offensive possessions are you gonna have that just end in interceptions because you have no I mean, what was it the first play of the game was a fumble? Yeah, so it's just like yeah, and I know they fired their offensive coordinator I don't know how much of an impact that's actually gonna have On the success of this offense, it's like the EPA numbers are still good. So They're like top four in almost every category. It's such a it's such a scapegoat Like it's just like you don't have you don't have a reasonable move to make right so it's like But they need to do something dramatic They're just you're firing somebody for the sake of making it seem like you're making some sort of change Reality like The the real change that we need to be making is that the head coach position like there's There's been conversations about Sean McDermott being on the hot seat for the last two years and like they had this window The window is completely shut now by the way, but they had this window where they were supposed to succeed Way past their mark way past what they already did and like at this point. It's disappointing. So it's It's like, okay, how long are we gonna do this Sean McDermott thing? How long are we gonna? make this a thing when he has underachieved with this team that we all thought was Supposed to be Super Bowl contenders for the what last four years Yeah the the thing with McDermott said more of a defensive guy, so it's like Yeah, the defense isn't right and the defense isn't good, right and they've been banged up So you get some you get some like, okay, maybe maybe it's not all your fault But it's kind of the same thing I think with the Browns fans into fanski where it's you've gone through so many iterations of different Different things. Oh, we've tried this. We've tried this, you know, we're in your what is it year four now of this like experiment per se At some point you just have to try something new even if he's not the problem If he's not the solution it probably isn't Working with anymore Just I There's a real reality here where they miss the playoffs Like I feel like their chances to miss the playoffs at this point are greater than actually making it because the remainder of their schedule is brutal It's a tough schedule I mean you got the Chargers in there You don't know what charger team you're gonna get on any even Sunday, so that could go either way I think they can beat the Chargers. The Chargers. I can't do it. It's gonna be the Chargers are so bad on defense I am they out their defense is horrible Very bad. They're the next team that we need to have a conversation about firing their defensive minded head coach because Well, that's that's a reasonable thing because they've brought in so many guys like the bill's defense is just hurt Yeah, and they're old but the Chargers defense is just they've brought in so many guys and they're just horrible Working God awful defense Okay, well how concerned are you with Josh Allen or are you even concerned at all because I mean like Josh Allen There's like there is valid criticism there, you know because it could be a lot better But at the same time he's doing a lot of things that other people aren't doing now I posted today on Twitter and the replies were actually insane to me I said how many teams would improve with Josh Allen on the roster and people were saying like oh, maybe like two or three Maybe two or three in the NFC South probably There's there's maybe two or three teams that wouldn't improve wouldn't yeah Yeah, the chiefs would probably be about the same I I'm trying to think the chiefs. I think the Eagles just because they're often to operate It's just there's so much good there. There's only so high. I think you could get without going with Mahomes It's such a short list The Chargers I think the Chargers would be about the same probably well him and I mean him and Herbert are the same Him and Herbert are the same person. There's bone-headed gunslingers Like yeah, I got a lot of brought in I'm like the 49ers would never lose the game I love him to death. He's a bonehead I just I just don't know like I I'm more Questioning the future. What does the future of this team look like because you've got Trayvon digs out here saying get my brother out of here free my brother and Diggs has been like Stefan Dix has been no stranger to voicing his opinion when things have not gone Well or gone to the standard that they think it should be So what the heck goes on after this is what I want to know I think it all boils down to whether they make playoffs or not of course, but Either way, I feel like there needs to be some sort of change Yeah, I mean Some sort of soft rebuild you can't I don't think you can move on from Alan Like I don't think there's any future where that exists Or at least no future where that exists and the GM keeps his job, right? But I could see I could see a world where digs is gone I don't think that's unreasonable. We've seen the Chiefs move on from Tyree kill We've seen we've seen you know teams get rid of their wide receiver ones kind of all across the league The times with AJ Brown now some of them have gone better than others I think Alan's a guy where it could work out if you were to surround him With you know a better run game better off into the line Yeah, yeah, right if Gabe Davis doesn't drop drop a massive wide open pass Get younger on defense you have to hit on your draft picks. That's the big thing I mean, when was the last draft pick they've really hit on Alan? I mean King Cade feels like he's on that path to be a good one But like it's also 10 weeks into his career select who knows It's like King Cade, maybe Osiris Torrance, maybe Who's the corner they drafted? I loved him a lot Kyra Lomb. He's what about like Greg bruceau Greg Russo. Yes, that's probably that's probably like one of the only good ones. Yeah, so it's Alan and Russo or like they're real Good picks in the last four or five years So you just you have like you look at Baltimore who's been awesome this year. They haven't had a bad draft They don't draft bad they they draft well every single year and I think you know This year's draft and last year's draft were especially great, but Yeah, you just have you just have to be good at drafting where you're gonna have to have some sort of a soft rebuild But like I think you get younger on defense if you if you have to move on from digs free up some money So be it that might be a good potential location for him. I don't see too many options where He would feel happier. I think that's one of the main concerns that he has he wants to win immediately. It seems But who's gonna who's gonna get him? Yeah, I didn't come into this thing in about moving off from digs. I'm trying to think about Money to make that work. I'm trying to that's I Mean honestly, I mean the past are gonna have the money for it, but oh, yeah The hell away big Mac man, I Kind of I Don't know if I actually like the Chargers or if I just want to get Justin Herbert some help. Yeah Yeah How much you are up to like baseball speed, but it's not really funny. Okay. Well, then I know who Ellie Dela Cruz is man Do you know who Shohei Otani is? Yeah, I know that is Do you know who Mike Trout is? Yeah, okay So someone said that Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen are like Mike Trout and Shohei Otani on the Angels So it's pretty. It's a good one for that Keenan's Keenan's Keenan's been nice this year, but they just that's another team where they just need another They just need another piece. Johnston was a horrible pick Mike Williams can't stay healthy to save his life like I sentence Justin Herbert to Jalen Geithen and Josh Palmer Josh great. Yeah, just recipe for success Ben Brock is saying Miami for a landing spot for digs. They don't need any more weapons, man They need an off they if anything they need an offensive line that would be the that would be the one thing Let's move on to the other Teams and shambles NAFCs the Jets are sticking with Zach Wilson this week Are they like fully believing this whole Rogers thing that he's gonna be back Sooner rather than later apparently My do you believe it is what I want to know. I don't think it necessarily matters. My take from the jump was I Don't think you could make a move that would reasonably That would make you substantially better I'm trying to think about how I want to phrase it like Anyone that you bring in is going to be closer is going to be closer to a similar result that Zach Wilson gives you than what? Rogers to give you so if you brought in I think the conversation was like Andy Dalton Or Berset at the beginning of the year. It's like how much does that really move the needle? right, yeah, they're they're better than Zach Wilson, but Is it gonna be enough when a Super Bowl like I Don't know. I think you kind of just ride it out With with Zach Wilson. I thought that was a perfectly fine decision to make if that's the guy you have faith and Then that's fine, right? Don't no need to waste resources trying to you know Learn up a new quarterback on the playbook and everything when Wilson's been there the whole time and then if Rogers can come back this year Okay, I mean, I guess But like why it just it just Just to see if he could still do it. I don't know I just I feel like it's more of like an ego thing at this point. He already said it. So he's got to do it It's gotta be a lot to say for that I don't know like we were just talking about like they're not gonna make playoffs it even if he comes back They have to win out for them to even have a shot. So like what is the point to rush back? I Don't know Who's gonna be the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots is what we all want to know This week or like next like after the buy and then next year because there might be two different answers There should be two different answers. Who's on the roster right now? It's Mac Zappi will Greer Malik honey him. I say bring back Matt Corral Okay, I will not let this go Is he okay though, like I don't I see what's happening With who? Corral Yeah, I think I think I love him more than we do. I think it's totally unfair man Every other quarterback from that draft class got a shot to play at least like one snap and we have had the most starting Quarterbacks in a single season in NFL history and Matt Crow still is not on a team This is ridiculous, I can't I can't believe I'm great I don't know. I mean will Greer might get a start like who knows Yeah, I mean it's gonna be just Revolving door of those those guys on the roster. You'll you'll probably start with start with Mac He'll be bad throw Zappi and he'll be bad I I'm not even like I genuinely think like Mac Jones's Patriots career ended the other day He got benched with two minutes left down by four That's you're done. There's no coming back from that Like my favorite part my favorite part about those two is that you know? Mac Jones isn't good and you know Bailey Zappi isn't good One does something wrong and they swap in they do their little thing before each other goes out there to hide each other up Just to throw an interception every single time It's just every time I feel bad for them. I really do But I feel bad for Zappi. I don't know about it. I don't know if I feel bad for Mac Jones Oh, I don't feel bad. He was getting screened out on the sideline. I don't know Nope, and that was one of the story crying and one of the stupidest plays I've ever seen he's made a lot of stupid plays That's one of the stupidest plays. I've ever seen him try to make he deserved He deserved it. I do feel bad though because he genuinely looked like he was gonna cry and I think he knows too like That that was it. That's it He could be a career backup. I mean we were just talking about that like that's fine get the money who cares but It's like embarrassing and it's it's not all His fault. I mean the revolving door of the offensive coordinator You had dummy Patricia as an offensive coordinator last year There's a lot of it that relies on Bill Belichick's decision-making on the coaching staff and the roster and things like that So like it's not a hundred percent max fault, but like both things can be true like he's not the guy he never was Well, this is what we were talking about on stay hot, which is The weapons are horrible. I mean it is probably the worst culmination of Offensive talent in the NFL right now offensive line receivers Like the whole shebang. It's all bad. Yeah, if it were good Mack Jones would actually probably look okay There's probably a world in which that exists But he is not The guy to elevate this group. No, absolutely not and that's that's the real problem is they don't have They don't have any elite talent on that offense and they don't have a guy that can elevate the guys around them and Therefore the offense is probably dead last in most metrics They're like bottom five in every single one. Maybe bottom three Yeah, anyway, that's enough about that. I don't want to talk about it. I mean, they'll have a high draft pick Yeah, they will now granted what they do with that who remains to be seen but Because like I don't I don't know. I don't know JJ McCarthy will be a patriot fear I'm sorry for laughing. It's not funny, but like it would be great to see It is funny like there's some sort of of karma happening here And it's just you guys won way too many Super Bowls you had Yeah, and now they're like we're gonna let you suffer for a little and then we'll see what happens You're gonna back. You're gonna trade back and then take McCarthy. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you'll trade back I will give myself credit though. I held firm to my I'm no longer getting upset about this football team and this weekend I didn't get mad. I didn't get upset. I just laughed. That's it cuz all that's all you can do Just laugh. Yeah, it's all you can do. That's it been there up to watch a 930 game 630 squads 630 Wait, and don't act like you haven't seen bad football before Yeah, but I don't wake up at 9 in the morning to do it Even worse it was 630 pacific time. So like oh you're on the west coast I was up at 530 because we were going we went to the Chargers and Lions game, too I was up at 530 to shower and get ready and watch that crap. I know it's fine Okay, but if we want to continue the misery what happens with Bill Belichick, is he gonna go somewhere? I think he signed an extension. He signed an extension, but supposedly it's only through next year so Little prove-it-deal for Billy B Lots of lots of rumblings about potentially a trade with Washington Um, if in my perfect world where The thing that must happen is he is not the Patriots coach anymore not saying that I want that to happen But like if that's the quantifier here I want them to mutually part ways and then I want him to go to the Los Angeles Chargers and Save Justin Herbert's ass because Brandon Staley is not cutting it hasn't hasn't been and I think that there's really an ego thing with Belichick where he can't just He won't just end his Patriots tenure and have that be it because he still has to chase the Schuller record and he still has to fight that Beast of oh well without Tom Brady Maybe you're not that good. This isn't me saying this. This is just the general NFL consensus here But I really do think that that would have an effect on that decision-making. So we go to a team that Offensively they have the pieces. That's just the execution. Maybe isn't there all the time and their injury luck isn't there but like The defense needs to be fixed They'd have the best corners in the NFL so they would go from the worst secondary to the best overnight so Just off of coaching alone. I Just I just don't know like I just I do think he's done with New England now Long answer short like I think it's time Then whatever. I mean, it was cool Best to go before you do any more damage. That's it like sometimes the game moves past you Being that before down the street right here baseball Where'd you go? Sometimes you just need to move on. It's the reality of the situation You know it's the game is evolving and you can't always stay stuck in your ways forever Benching guys for weeks on them because they didn't get their toes inbound one game and then whatever in more entertaining and fun and happy talk can we talk about CJ Stroud and The potential MVP candidate that he is because I think this is a real thing. This is a real thing Okay, but and you can get that Plus two thousand fans of sportsbook Is it really still plus two thousand? Yeah, it goes Patrick my home's Jalen her to a Lamar Joe Burrow CJ Stroud. I Here's a I wanted to put money on it last week when straddle wasn't even like top 10 I was like I was like, you know, I should well you still have a chance Just do a little five dollars for bragging rights Or I should do a little five hundred dollars Who's to say there's only only two possible options, you know either I win or I don't It's 50-50 in my book Anyway Realistically think is the MVP though because I have some problems with my homes being the favorite right now. I Don't think I don't think there's anything inherently wrong I think my homes gets the benefit of the doubt being the best quarterback in the NFL Mm-hmm. They are also the one seed in the AFC and their offense is still Quite good despite not being a super great rushing attack and not having any receivers About the Patriots being bad offensively. This is the worst receiving corn football It's like sky more she rice and I love receive rice But like let's be real These weapons aren't good. So I think that's where the Mahomes MVP case comes in and I get that Mm-hmm. I think Lamar has a real shot. I think Alan has a real shot if the bills can make the playoffs. I think After that Not to a No, I wouldn't do that. What about Jalen Hertz. He's number two in I I have a problem with Hertz being so high a little bit hurts it. I mean the numbers the numbers are good But that off he's just not doing as much as the other the office is so good I just think the stand and like people call this pushing the goalpost back. I don't think it is I think it's like quantifying what it means to be the MVP. This is the most talented offense I think even more talented than the Dolphins because the offensive line is so good and He is just the offense should be by far and away the best in football and It's not right. So I think that's The thing for me It's like if Jalen Hertz need were to be the MVP the offense would have to be so head and shoulders better than everyone else And it's just not So yeah, I would put I would do Mahomes Alan Lamar stroud I Would even I would put AJ Brown in that mix I would put McCaffrey McCaffrey in that mix and I would put Tyreek in that mix for not and Garrett and Garrett Should put Max Crosby in that mix to the Raiders are five and five right now Raiders they are winning they are winning games another team that is Winning games. Let's talk a little bit about we'll do a little Cleveland Browns And then I have a few like hypothetical questions for you and then we'll Wrap it up. So I have you ever seen football like this in your life. Have I ever seen what? Football like this in your life as a Browns fan like winning games that you're not supposed to Like every game that the Cleveland Browns have won those are the games that we always lose in the opposite way Like every single time and they're just winning these games. I just really can't believe it The only game we've won where I haven't like had to hold my breath Quarter one to quarter four was the Cardinals game Yeah, pretty much it and I guess I guess the bangles game. Maybe the Titans Yeah, maybe the beginning was a little sketch. That's what I'm saying. I was like But the defense came through it was it was closer, I think than the score made it out to be Titans game. Yeah, that was Relatively comfortable as well, but that then Watson had that one awful turnover in that game, too No one way through it behind them Yeah, that was like pretty bad, too. I don't know Yeah, but I've never seen things like this before in my mind I'm feeling like we've had so many good. When is something bad gonna happen? Because that's usually how it goes, you know, well, we have had the bad the bad has been the offense All we're winning. I'm like, when is it gonna go bad like because we've had too many lucky times in a row I'm just conditioned to think it's gonna be bad This is the the the catching the brakes. I think comes year to year more so than week to week Like we'll catch all the brakes this year, right? And it'll be enough to get us into the playoffs It'll be enough for me. They should Yeah, and You know, we'll we'll see where we go from there. Maybe maybe we're in the Super Bowl Okay Do you think to Sean Watson can play consistently enough to make that move in the playoffs or do you think it's so gonna be week to week We don't know what we're gonna see Half to half you never know what you're gonna Yeah, I mean seriously though the first half of the Ravens game you completed he completed what like five passes It was horrendous. It was one of the worst reforms as I've seen and then the second half. He was 14 for 14 couldn't miss Yeah, I mean I think part of it I think what the Browns draw easy looks, you know, it helps I I think where Watson struggles right now is You know full field reads. I think he's slow through kind of all of that. I think he's slow Just moving in the pocket feeling things out. I think his pocket presence is like a lag behind Where it needs to be So I don't want him Doing full field reads. I want him hit the top of your drop We're reading a space and we're just like linebacker vacates. Okay that windows there put it there linebacker stays Okay, we know we have something coming right underneath him. We're gonna hit that That's the kind of stuff. I want this like rookie cam Newton level offense, all right And then from there You know, we'll see what he can get more comfortable with and I think that's kind of what Stefanski does He gives you the easy stuff and then he slowly tries to give you a little bit more responsibility He did it with Baker didn't work out, but Baker was also hurt And now I think he's gonna try and do that with Watson But yeah, I just don't think you can let him sit back empty read out the whole field and make inaccurate make a good decision an accurate on-time throw But if you just say hey hit the top of your drop, let it fly. I Think it can be fine. I think it can be okay. And he's I think he's been a net positive as a runner so Yeah It's just it's really frustrating, you know, because you never know what you are going to get each half is different You just never know. I don't know. I just want something consistent and not annoying That's that's a lot to ask for and something we've been asking for our whole life with ABC North in general. It's crazy Who do you think is gonna win? Probably still Baltimore. I mean, it's close. I mean, it's really close. I think Thursday is gonna be huge Yeah, Baltimore and sincey that'll be that'll be a a real You okay, I don't even know if it is a real tell for where this division is I mean that's yeah in a good way. Yeah, it'll just be if the bangles win. It'll just be Us cannibalizing each other until one of us makes the playoffs But if the Ravens win it puts the bangles in a really tough spot I don't know. I do. I do think I do think Baltimore is the most complete team. I think Lamar is Probably a top three quarterback. I think You know, there often has been humming at a really nice level. I thought Generally the Browns defense did a good job, but you know, they still scored 40 almost There was what was the final score 33 31? Yeah, okay So not but still that's Like two times in a row of like 38 and 31 back-to-back games. I mean, that's a lot of points Yeah, so I mean their offense is their offense is humming the defense. I think flies to the football. They've been you know getting lots of pressure lots of sacks with clowny and a daffy away and They've been a great run defense with undersized linebackers and like third round pick defensive tackle Travis Jones I mean, they they've got they've got the guys they do have like a Kyle Hamilton who's a star. I think for Baltimore, they just have to stay healthy and they'll probably be okay. I don't trust Pittsburgh and Since Natty, I don't know how to feel about them. They're often just good They're good, but they are what they're doing. They started off so slow that they're now trying to dig themselves out of this hole And I think they can do what I think, you know burrow and chase and I think Higgins They all have the juice to get it done. I and I think Luana Rumo is a great defensive coordinator I think they have really a lot of talent on defense It'll just it'll it'll come down to it for sure I think if I had to pick the teams to make the playoffs, I think Baltimore wins it I think I think Cincinnati probably gets the two-spot But it'll be close Cleveland probably the three and I would probably pick Pittsburgh to miss So if you go Cleveland three, what would you qualify that season as is three making the playoffs? Is that a good? Oh, yeah, I think they would I think they would win. I think I think they would get into the playoffs at three I Mean who's knocking them out their schedules relatively easy. I think we say I think Houston gets in over Pittsburgh I think Mean who from the AFC East? Right Miami's gonna win it so like that's that right there, but like Buffalo has a real Real to Buffalo's gonna be lucky to win three to four games to finish out the year I think Cleveland I think Cleveland's better than Buffalo right now. I agree. I agree What about the Broncos they've been playing better They have Denver intrigued I'm ready to call them a playoff team yet No, I wouldn't call them a playoff team either, but they are winning games And I don't know how they are, but they are yeah It's worth I think it's worth looking into You know just kind of what they've been doing well, what kind of changes they've made Russ looks to be playing a little bit better. I think they've just started asking him to do a little bit less Yeah, which I think is good Yeah, but no you're they're not they're not so far off and I don't think they have a tough schedule remaining if I'm Not mistaken Broncos schedule they have coming up They just beat Buffalo they have Minnesota that's the way Minnesota has been playing. That's a tough game Yeah, people are saying that's not a good Sunday night game. I think that is a good Sunday They're both on kind of hot streaks I Kind of I think that's a fun Looking at it from like the beginning of the season you look at the prime time schedule and you see that one You're like, all right, whatever but now Like that could be sneaky cool. I think I think it's a fun game Then they have Cleveland Houston the Chargers the Lions Patriots Chargers again The once you get past these last these Upcoming three. It's not so bad, but you have to probably win at least one of these three Because they're what four and five right now. I don't think you can drop. I don't think you can drop to four and eight and Still expect to get in Four and seven or if you drop to four and six Four and seven five and seven if you're five and seven going into LA, but then you have to beat Detroit Yeah, you have to probably win these. Yeah, you probably have to win two of these upcoming So I would probably not take them Matt Canada. Yeah, that's why we don't trust Pittsburgh Oh That's funny. Okay. Last thing I have for you will make this quick so you can go because we know you have to go I'm gonna give you a few hypotheticals. I just want you to tell me what you think is more likely to happen Okay, okay Jets to make the playoffs or Steelers to win the AFC North. Oh Jets to make the playoffs Okay Texans or Bengals to make the playoffs Mmm, probably lean sensei, but that's close. I could see I could see a world where it doesn't go well for sensei Okay, Josh dog to win a playoff game for the Vikings this season or the chiefs to lose in the first round of the playoffs Or their first playoff game Okay Playoff game This is a lock Last one I have for you Which is more likely to happen to Sean Watson to win an MVP during his time in Cleveland or Bryce young to want to For Carolina God I you know, I agree I agree with that boy Okay, thanks for hanging out. Thanks for hanging out with us. Thanks for talking to football You guys don't follow Bladen you need to follow Bladen Bladen Can you just tell everybody where they can find you what you got going on? You can find me on Twitter. You can find me on tiktok Instagram Everything is at Bladen K except for my Twitter, which is at Bladen or you can find me at bladen.com But don't go there right now my my database is down So things might look a little weird But yeah, bladen.com Bladen on Twitter Bladen K everywhere else All right, we're not with us. We'll talk to you soon. Thank you. Hi Okay, Bri. I have another I had one more that was gonna bring up during but I just we couldn't take up any more Yeah, we had to let him go. I saw this conspiracy theory on tiktok It's not like I believe it or anything It was just funny to see and it involves the Super Bowl logos and the teams playing in the Super Bowl So the last two have been the colors of teams that been that we're playing in the Super Bowl. So Bangles Rams, it was orange and yellow Last year it was a red and green So chiefs Eagles this year. It's red in purple 49ers Ravens or we can go full ball so on do Vikings chiefs Vikings Viking So that's that's the one that they said was the one that the girls said was 49ers Ravens But I mean in my mind I thought Vikings chiefs 49ers Ravens would be sick. I would enjoy that. Yeah, that would be a great game. It'd be a great game Yeah, and then we can bring back the the Harbaugh Bowl and everything and start talking about that again Yeah, there's more Jim Harbaugh in the news More Jim Harbaugh You wanna hit on our one NBA thing before we wrap up for the day Yeah, and then we'll send it on home. So I was at a bar I was at a bar this weekend for one of my friend's birthday parties and I'm telling you we sat at a table for maybe Three hours talking about our top players in the NBA We would just bring someone else to the table and have them list them off and it was the funnest Conversation, I've been in a very long time. So What I would like for us to do five players Currently in the NBA right now. Okay, and just right off the bat like no explanations needed just whatever Just let him go. Yeah. All right Let's start with number one for me right now. It's a yoke itch Um To Yanis Three and four are close for me, but three Put Luca for Tatum and then five Steph Curry. I just feel like he's still the best shooter in the game You can't leave him off My list is very similar, but you're not gonna like the one that I have on my list that you don't yeah, so I have Yoke itch Luca Yanis and bead Jason Tatum and Jason Tatum was the one that was my friend. It was his Beyonce's birthday and he could not wrap his mind around having Jason Tatum in his top five and Every person we brought to the table and they said Jason Tatum he would start screaming. It was so funny It was awesome. Unbelievable. He's gonna be in top three and MVP conversation this year. He absolutely deserves Yeah, he absolutely deserves. Um, and I mean the reason why I don't have imbedded mine is like I know he's reigning MVP and everything and he's perennial MVP candidate I just feel like for as big of a human being as he is The way he just flails for foul calls like is embarrassing Like you are a very large human being drive the ball to the rack If you get fouled you get fouled enough of this flopping around like a little ballerina Sick of it free throw merchant tired of it Um, I think we can also argue Anthony Edwards. That's someone that we could put There's a lot of good cars in the NBA compared to the NFL. That's not giving us anything at all I would put ant probably at like seven or eight currently Shay like He's near there you stay if he if ant stays on the path that he's on right now Just with with the way that he started this season. There's no reason why he shouldn't be in the top five come Even I'll start break like I Just you could argue KD also. There's just so many good players that you could put near the top Yeah, they're into the rest of the leagues that we can see. Yeah, well Compared to football right now. If you tried to ask me top five quarterback right now I might have an aneurysm. So Changes every single week every single day depends on who wants to throw more interceptions to turn the ball over a losing game Yep Ridiculous ridiculous, but there are a lot of good games this week And then we are getting into the holiday season too, which is real crunch time for playoff implications Stuff like that. So I feel like we're finally going to be seeing some good football. I say that hopeful Whether it actually happens obviously remains to be seen because the way the season is gone this year a lot of games have been very ugly ugly ugly So hopefully with the added implications it gets a little bit better and we get a little bit better quarterback play from our supposed top five guys But yeah, this is we're already halfway through the season, which is wild to think but What else we'll be doing our Fancy daily fantasy again this week. I forgot to put my lineup in last week. So I Shame on me, but I did win five dollars. Oh Until the brown starts scored point. Oh, yeah, well Um What else is that everything my nothing. That's it. Yeah thing. That's all the topics we have for this week We covered a lot of things and hopefully next week can be just as exciting Hopefully next week Yeah, I mean we got what we got football Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday next week if you want to throw college football in there, too Busy busy. Um, with that being said shout out to blade in one more time for joining us always appreciate it having him on and We'll see you guys next week
