This kicker was pretty embattled in the preseason. He's playing on a weird field in Brazil. I actually didn't think he was going to make it. All of a sudden, the game's over and he's running into the corner like he's a soccer player. The good news for you, I think, from a Dallas standpoint is I thought those teams were pretty interchangeable and pretty even. You're not a top level team, but you're definitely circling between second and third level, I think, because you can move the ball and you can get stops. Third level of hell, maybe. Speaking of, the worst is I have to hear Jason Garrett. He's the first voice I hear after the loss. I know. I'd much rather hear yours and Kyle's. I don't know. Anybody's. Just awful. Where did you watch the game? Can we get a little intel on you in New York City? You're in Brooklyn because Jimmy's got shows in Brooklyn all week, so you're there. Jimmy came alive all week. Monday through Friday out here. We always go to a bar in Brooklyn and the bar, I reserve a little room with four tables and it's nice. They put the games on however I want. It was going to be a little challenging today because the Jets and Giants played at one, which we hadn't dealt with before, but I was excited. Then the guy calls me at 8.30. The bar owner is like, we're closed. Too much flooding. I'm like, oh, 8.30 is like 5.30 in the morning because I just got here yesterday. I'm like, oh my god. Now I'm scrambling. I'm like, is there Dave and Buster's? What do I do here? My buddy, brother, brother Bri. You know brother Bri? I got in an Uber. I went to Long Island and I watched with the Parley kid, Mikey Meatballs, and all my friends back home. That was it. Oh, you did that? That's great. It's good. It's good. We all got together. That's a good win. I mean, if you'd been at the bar and the Cowboys had won, you could have done the De Niro. Drinks are on the house. That's right. That's on. Yeah, right. Yeah. Not even close. Too much flooding. You got to experience actual real genuine sadness with some of your oldest friends. Yeah, it's actually important. I think every decade or so. Yeah. How about you? Where did you watch? That's a great story. I was in Boston. I watched the game with my dad and I wrote down some of his quotes during the game. I'm guessing your game. The Jacksonville. Jacksonville. He was very excited about the game. I did not think we were going to win. I took the Jags and ringer 107 and I thought something was seriously wrong with Drake May. His quotes in order. It's like I'm watching Mac Jones again. That was that was an actual quote. I think Diana Rossini ruined our season. He said that should we try DeVito? Question mark dead serious. And then sadly near the end, he said he looked at me and he goes, you know, it was so exciting to have a franchise quarterback, even if it was only for one year. Talked about past heads completely out. We don't know what's going on with our quarterback. He has I think what's the number nine fumbles and 10 interceptions in his last seven games dating back to the start of the postseason. And Jake maybe is now done. Like people are sending me emails. Drake, maybe not Drake. Maybe Mac Jones. Drake, maybe getting benched. There's been a bunch of these now. And this is your big victory today. Well, yeah, I mean, you're revving up for an apology. You don't have to. That's my birthday gift to you. Don't don't even bother apologizing. Apologizing. I actually felt bad for him a little like when a hostage taker all of a sudden has feelings for the hostage. So, oh, I think you wanted to sneak him. Yeah, I want to I want to help you. I want to help you out a little bit. This is tough, man. Yeah. Let me take that duct tape off for a second. Just for a second. Don't tell anybody. So, I mean, I don't know what you know. I guess you should have talked to your dad about Trinidad Chambliss, CJ Carr, Arch Manning, or your Darian Mensah guy. Like, which way are you looking? I'm looking out for your team now. I want to help. Doug Clausen on Twitter said the Pats offense this year has 29 points on 30 drives, which is 0.97 per drive. Fewest point total for any team through three games since the 2021 Jets in the first three starts of Zach Wilson's career. That's how bad this has been. And some of the worst decision interceptions. It doesn't seem like he's practiced with any of the receivers. The plays and the play calling matched with the personnel we have doesn't seem to work. We were predicting our plays from the couch, which is always a bad sign. It's like second and four inside run. I don't know what they're doing with Trevion Henderson, who's the most exciting running out on the side, screen pass, swing pass, sweep. All we do is run him inside so he can get knocked down, you know, for two yards of carry. Romeo Dobbs is on pace to become the most disliked Boston athlete in the last five years, including all the Red Sox Celtics Bruins guys. And May just has no confidence at all. And looking at his press conferences after makes it even worse. He's going out there. He's like, yeah, I'm a mess. He's basically saying, like, I'm a mess. I don't know what's going on. I can't. I got to fix this. I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing. He's missing throws that he made for four straight months last year. And just doesn't look comfortable. Jacksonville's defense is terrible. It's just not a good defense. Like people were lighting it up. I'm going to say it's in the bottom 10 to 12 defenses in the league. Really? And he made them look awesome. Yeah. It is tough when you can't explain what's going on with your team. Like my team is like, well, this is our team. This is what we do all the time. Your team is like, I don't know. Oh, you really wanted to pick up where you left off in the regular season, right? And then just consider the three four week playoff. Yeah. And it's like, he's healthy. The offensive line's better now. He doesn't have AJ Brown. So he doesn't have right last year. He didn't have him last year. Yeah. Um, right. Last year he had digs and booty and booty was a good deep threat. And digs was like his over the middle like 10 yards down guy. I don't know who he's throwing to now. Um, but it's weird. It's almost like being a parent when you have kids and you think your kids have when they're younger and you think they're your kids have figured it out. And then all of a sudden they start doing stupid shit again. I'm like, wait, I, why are, why did we go backwards? I thought we graduated to this level and now we're back here. What, what happened? What did I miss? He's back to where he was as a rookie and I don't understand it really, like really terrible, like really bad. Like that last interception he threw in the end zone. First of all, he's thrown it to Chisholm who's like our six receiver and then he's not even open and he could have run it in like every single part of the decision was awful. And, uh, and I just don't think Jacksonville's defense is good. Like he shouldn't look like that against them. No, no doubt about it. I don't know. I don't even know what to say. I find myself feeling bad for him now. I'll I'll say something snarky on Twitter once in a while, but also that, uh, weird old ghoul, uh, Skip Bayless is now claiming Drake maybe. And so I'm, I might move on from that name. It made a commercial of it too. So, uh, Skip Bayless is doing the Drake maybe now. Yeah. He says Drake maybe. And then like in all the comments, it's like, yeah, credit Cousin Sal credit Cousin Sal, but whatever. I just, now it's, now it's like, yucky. Wow. Yeah. I can feel the shoe polish from his head just dripping off that theft. There you go. Um, But the Pats in this post-Mike Vrabel Sedona era, they look sloppy as hell. They look poorly coached, and it looks like he has no feel for the team. And I really do think it all starts with that and the Year from Hell team, which I think we have a bunch of candidates this year. It starts with the Vrabel-Rossini stuff, goes all the way through. Even all the Ed Sheeran stuff with the owner. It's like, what good thing has happened with the Pats? A.J. Brown gets hurt in an hour. The only good thing is they didn't give up this year's first-round pick for him. That is good. That's a positive. Yeah, it's positive. I don't know. I think you had somebody write in about the Year from Hell. How do you calculate it? I had Brian in Bethesda. He said we have strong contenders, including the Pats, the Bucks, the Packers, and the Chargers for Year from Hell. And it can't just be performing poorly versus expectations. He wrote, what extent should we weigh factors like the team coach having an affair with a prominent reporter, starting running back, getting arrested for domestic violence, having a washed-up DJ for an offensive coordinator, or a quarterback who was great last year but now poops the bed every Sunday? How do you rank the Year from Hell? It is weird. We have four teams that have a case. And you could say the Bucks probably, you know, you should be cruising to the NFC South. Baker got hurt at the end of the game. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. If the Bulls gets fired tomorrow, what happens with that? I think they stay with them because now they have this injury thing. I mean, to me, they're like, they're gamblers. Just an absolute nightmare. Twelve in a row without covering. But, yeah, it's bad. I mean, if you're going to rank them, I think you kind of have to wait until the end of the year because here's how I would do it. I would say four-plus games under win expectation, right? That's one. What you don't have is the, oh, you do have the major injury. You have A.J. Brown. Major injury, I think, is a big thing. And, you know, I don't know. All those teams you mentioned are on their way to having one, I think. Two to three off-field incidents involving players of the domestic abuse, vehicular assault, walking through a glass door, a whiteout party, whatever. Yeah, so. And I think one off-field incident by the owner, GM, or president, maybe even in the preseason. So, I would say that. And you cost me $75,000 on parlays. I would put that in there. And multiple bad luck injuries, which the Patriots didn't have. Sure. It feels like the Chargers are headed that way. What do you mean you didn't have? A.J. Brown's a bad luck. I mean, I know, but we haven't had, like, five of those. Oh. All right. Well, now you jinxed it. You know, I was watching the Raiders today. And I don't know if the Raiders thing is sustainable, but they are 3-0. They did spend some money this offseason, right? They got Quay Walker. They got N'Kobi Lane. They got, what was the other one they bought? Oh, Kirk Cousins they went and did a small deal with. But they went out. Got some veterans, brought them in. I don't know. I don't feel like my team, you know, I don't know. We have no edge rushers, really, at all. And the one we had got hurt. So, I'm mad at myself for going 10 wins. With Crosby. Maybe that's a karma thing that's going to last forever. N'Kobi Dean, not N'Kobi Lane. There's two N'Kobis in the world, and you couldn't figure it out? Yeah. Well, right now it's 12-20. So, it's our. We're going to probably mess a couple up. So, yeah. The Pats are plus 100. But then you go to make the playoffs. The Chargers are now plus 460 to make the playoffs. Hate that effing team. Holy mackerel. Green Bay is plus 240 to make the playoffs. Your team is plus 128. So, my team and yours are almost on par with this? Yeah. And the Las Vegas Raiders are plus 166 to make the playoffs. That is lower than 2-1. What are the odds of that? What's the Browns? Browns are plus 610. Oh, really? Okay. So, they're 2-1, but they're not trusted at all. Yeah, I just don't want the Raiders or Browns or anything stupid like that. I still have to root for the Patriots and Chargers as a result. So, if you had first coach fired, who would it be? Still Bulls? Yeah, but I got to tell you. Are you sure he's not getting fired tomorrow? I don't. I don't think. I don't. I don't know why I don't think so, but I think it's going to be Salah. I think it's. I mean, I couldn't believe. I watched that game with a bunch of Giants fans and it reminded me why I moved 3,000 miles away because when the Giants win, it's not fun. But, yeah, man, I never had. Even though they were driving, I never thought they had a shot at winning that game. I was not that focused on. This is David's comeback. I had the four. I had the four top on the TV with my. My iPad. So, I basically had five games going and then sometimes I was doing the boxes. I can. I had a lot of trouble following everything. Good one to skip. Yeah. But the Cam Ward piece. The two things I wrote down was obviously our second cross-off. But Cam Ward, like, they were inside the 10-yard line and he just gacked the game away. And Salah, after he did the whole he's got to make better decisions thing. But I think the problem with Cam Ward is I don't. I just haven't seen any evidence that he's going to be a good quarterback yet. Have you? No. No, I don't think so. Where's the evidence at this point? I wanted to give. I mean, maybe there's an evidence and a crime they're going to plant on him or something. He should check his car. But I don't know. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Like, most of his touchdowns came in the last five games, I think, last year. And, you know, he had that couple things where he'd roll right and throw across his body. But that offense is just. Just really rough. And they actually had more yards than the Giants. It was like 262 to 238. I don't know. How does Dable not come away with that win? Jameis gets the win. He's alive. The rumors of them trading for another quarterback, we'll see what happens with that. There's a lot of games to cover here. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back. And then we're going to talk about the 3-0 Raiders. Because I can't believe the Raiders are 3-0. That's next. The Bill Simmons Podcast brought to you by FanDuel.

Do you think he's even watching the games? Like, he's working during these games. Honestly, he didn't until you said it. Part owner of the Raiders. Helps run the team, but is doing another job as these games are happening. So, New Orleans, Shuck has four touchdown passes, 27 first downs. They're 28 for 143 rushing, and 29 completions for 255. And they lose by eight for a variety of reasons. But Bowers was incredible. 10 for 116. Cousins is now the fourth Raiders quarterback to have three plus touchdown passes, three games in a row. Wow. Can you name any of the others? Four. Raider. All right. I would think Carr did it once. Yep. There's one. This is really tough. I don't think you'll get this. I'm going to say Rich Gannon. There's two. I don't think you'll get the third. I mean, Stabler, they didn't put up big numbers, but I know he's a big game guy now. Jeff George. Jay Schrader in 1990. Oh, that's fun. Okay. All right. And Kirk Cousins. Wow. What a group. Cousins. And so we were like, who's going to catch the ball on this team? And they're actually, when you watch them, they got these two tight ends. Now that Bowers is back. I think Jenty's really good, you know, and their line's better. And they can move the ball, you know, and they can block a little bit. And the Saints are kind of the same way. I feel like the Saints can move the ball. They can play from behind. Both of those teams, I feel like could sneak into the seventh seed and possibly the shakiest game. It's conceivable. Oh, well, the Saints are going to have a four. Are you kidding me? I guess the Saints. The Saints will be the four seed, but they'll be in the shaky game as the four seed. I like this game. I like bad, entertaining games. Like you and Carolla love bad movies, like Point Break or something. But I can't sit through that. Like the Saints Raiders, I can watch all week. And yeah, like you said, like the Raiders are just pretty good balanced offense and a defense that made plays when they needed to. I know they gave up a lot of yards to chuck around and find out. But I like watching them. Bowers with 10. What do you have? 10 grabs for 116? is all over. You always feel him when he's healthy and he's in the game. And the Crosby trade, you know, which that trade was done, they end up keeping him, and you can feel him in these games, too. I thought their defensive line was good. The problem for them and why I would bet the no playoffs for them is their schedule is brutal. These next nine games, Chiefs at Patriots, Bills, Rams at Jets, at 49ers, Seahawks, at Broncos, at Browns. So, they'll be favored in maybe two of those. Yeah, but, you know, we haven't guessed the lines yet, but they have the Chiefs. They're home, right? That's the first time in a while I feel like that's a frisky game. Decent chance to win that game. And, you know, those teams you mentioned, maybe two of their quarterbacks could go down. Who knows? I hate to think like that, but this could be the team. Well, then you have the Saints. So, basically, if you're looking at the AFC playoff picture, the Raiders and Chargers, just switch bodies with those teams and you're fine. NFC South, I don't know what to make of it. We have New Orleans, Carolina, Atlanta, a team that was dead four days ago. Atlanta's now tied for first place. They're all 1-2. Tampa's 0-3. Tampa's had every single possible thing go wrong. They're a game out of first place. Their division is now 3-9. You predicted that they would go four 7-10 teams and 7-10 with the division. Do you want to drop that to 6-11? Do you want to revise that at all or no? Maybe soon. Yeah. Well, the AFC South is 3-9 also. So, 6-18 between the two South divisions. But you made me laugh. You sent the 1st through 4th. Fando has odds for who come in first. Yeah, it's like bingo. You might as well put bingo at an old age home. I'll give you 35 choices if you want. I'll book it. Well, then the Colts, Texans, and the AFC South. The Texans are now 0-3. So, in the history of football, nobody's gone 0-3 back-to-back years and made the playoffs both years. Mm-hmm. That's a tough one. They lose today when Daniel Jones has two picks and a fumble. They lose today when they get the go-ahead. They're up 1. Right? Their defense just needs to get a stop. They're kicking off. It's near the end of the game. Just stop the Colts. You win the game. Let's see your best defense in football. Colts go down the field. Get the field goal and beat them. So, no Nico Collins for this loss and last week. So, it's not their you know, that's you know, it's somebody that in the ringer-wise guys, we, some people pick to be potentially offensive player of the year. So, that's no small thing. Right. I still don't I, as much as I like Ryan's and him as a vibes guy and his defenses and stuff, I still have the game management with him. I almost don't feel like he gets enough credit for being kind of a bonehead in some of these situations. They were down 16-7 in the fourth quarter and kicked a field goal on fourth and four it was like on the six-yard line. It was like a classic, like, we're not doing this anymore. Like, even if you don't get it, they're still trapped inside the 10. Like, you're near the end zone. You haven't scored a touchdown. You know, you've scored one, you've scored seven points in this game. You gotta, like, actually try to score a touchdown here. You're not gonna win. They kicked a field goal. It somehow almost worked out for them, but I don't know. I never feel great watching Texans games from a strategy standpoint. They really got their asses kicked. Like, the Colts had time of possession 35-20. 25-24. Texans ended up with, like, 220 total yards, 23 or something. The Colts turned it over a few times, and if not for that, this might have been, like, a double-digit win. But I think you're right. That's the reason you go for it by the six. Like, who knows how many more times you're gonna get it. And, uh, I don't know. I was wrong on Stroud. Like, when they're, also when they're not running the ball, like, Montgomery had 33 and Marks with 15. It's just it's just too much for Stroud. It really is. And that's why. Yeah, especially with those receivers. He's throwing at dudes. You can't even tell which one. They're all wearing, like, 19, 18, 17. You can't tell who's who. None of them are ever open. And they can't run the ball. I thought they'd be able to run the ball, at least competently, but they just, they're just not able to run it. Woody Marks seems like he's been a little better than Montgomery. And then you have Bill's Chargers. Three and O'Bills own three Chargers, which was another variation that game where, that we just talked about, where the Bulls, the Bills have five turnovers, 10 penalties. They drop two Herbert picks. He gives them one, but they drop two other ones. And they still pull it out. And not only that, but they covered. Yeah. Well, of course, I have, we'll get to the, the Dolphins. No business not covering. And the Chargers had no business. It was just another disgusting outing, but, um, and I think that's as bad as the Bills. We're going to see them, honestly. I agree. I thought the Chargers played really well, other than Herbert kept trying to throw the ball to the Bills. Yeah. Like, Cook got a good game. Johnson dropped a couple passes. Like, they you know, I mean, the Bills defense embarrassed. That should never be a sentence in the second half. I can't believe the Chargers were held to one touchdown, but Allen was 204, two interceptions, right? Cook had a good game. Um, that was, that was about it. But, uh, yeah, I don't, I don't think we're going to see, that's the kind of game you have to steal from Bills. Otherwise, they're just going to run the table. Chargers are up 10-0. They scored six points in the last three quarters. The worst one, Herbert had just an absolute abominable, red zone pick. Yeah. Um, tough for me to pile on him too much after the game Drake May had, but let's just say, with a lot of pressure on him this week, I don't think Justin Herbert threw the monkey off his back, but they're, they're everybody is going to have this stat in their podcast today, but the, since 2013, the teams with five, five plus turnovers and a minus four turnover margin, the Chargers are the only team that's lost in that scenario. Basically, that's happened three times, including this one. So Chargers next three at Seahawks, Broncos at Chiefs really could be an 0-6. They're going to be. My question is when does Harbaugh start sniffing around? I talked about this with Pellicero on Thursday's pod, but he is definitely a hit the trap door. I'm out if he doesn't like the setup and we know how he goes and I think he's going to we'll hear his name being thrown around. I think for college pretty soon. Oh, you're saying moving on from this team. When does he get the, I'm trying to think like who we would replace. Interesting. Yeah, because it can't be his fault. The DJ, he could say it was the DJ's thing and something happened with Herbert. He could blame Madison Beer. I think he could blame the fact that they don't have a home field advantage and it's a really weird situation. Yeah. You know, there's a bunch of excuses you can make. Yeah, it wasn't right fit. You know, I can't say it's live or die with that franchise. Like he's got a million outs and he'll be coaching USC next year or something. Yeah. I mean, well, you used the wrong example, but there was, it goes to college where there's like 70,000 people like and every single one of them is rooting for him. It is just a whole different, a whole different life. Plus in the NFL, you can't cheat. Right, right, right. Like at Michigan, they knew all the plays. That's probably one of the reasons they won the title. All the Michigan fans listening are like, fuck, I really want to fire back, but I, I, Spygate, Spygate. Yeah, they have to like turn it with the pets. You can cheat. Yeah, right. You can cheat, but then you get relegated to coaching the Carolina UNC. So, but that's yeah, that's it. What are you going to do? He's having a good time. Um, yeah. So there's a real Owen six chance. I mean, the bad thing for the Chargers, Owen three, they're playing the Seahawks in Seattle next week. And normally you would think, oh, Seahawks got by Washington. Maybe they're looking ahead, but the Seahawks just had a horrible loss in Washington. Right. And I don't think they're losing two games in a row. We should talk about that game. Um, well, I'm sorry. What were the Chargers odds to not make the playoffs? Oh, plus four 60. So it's minus seven or something. All right. I might do that. Seahawks. Washington was our tease killer of the day. Yep. I think everybody had it. Um, it was the right pick. The Seahawks had 437 yards, Washington and two 58. The Seahawks had 28 first downs Washington at 17. Uh, but Washington's D had three turnovers, including a really, really abominable Sam Donald pick that turned out to be a pick six by a white guy, which, which I always hurts extra. Um, you got it. Twice a year. I lose money. I'm Mariotta. I looked it up. Yeah. I looked up in my record twice a year. It just kills me. So you got half, you got it out of there. I just got to get it back. Um, look, stupid game, weird weather, um, et cetera, et cetera. For Seattle. The one thing I think is a concern is price. And the only reason I'm noticing it is because in our fantasy league, he's one of my running backs. Me too. Yeah. I just haven't really seen it from him yet. Plus he had fumbles and back-to-back weeks, but doesn't really, when you watch him, do you feel like it's like, Oh, this guy, does it, does it feel like he has it? I'm not, I'm just not sure yet. I was further along mentally when I drafted him and spent $28 on him, but he doesn't feel special right now. Doesn't feel special, right? Right. But this is, you laid it out. Like this is a game Seattle. This again, like the bills, this is the worst they're going to play. And they also should have won anyway, four 37, like you said, the two 58 and you give any team three turnovers and that's, it was two from Donald, right? And then one fumble. So and the problem is in the last three minutes they had, they had two third and relatively longs just to shut down Washington. And each time Washington converted them and did like they had a third merit at a basically a design QB draw to end the game. And it was third and eight and Seattle had a chance to get the ball back. They couldn't cover JSN the whole game. Right. But just a stupid one. But we were doing, I think everybody and their brother had Seattle on the team. Yeah. Any anyone who's the Mariah Miraculously left in an eliminator pool. It's probably out because of that. But yeah, and we're also used to Mike McDonald winning every road game. And defense didn't really just, I don't know, didn't show up, honestly, in the big moments at the end. Weird one. And then the other one. So I did it. I took Tampa and Ringer 107 again. Because they were 0-11 in their last 11. I said to House on Thursday, I was like, how many times can they not cover? Like at some point, this isn't like flipping a coin or, I don't know, like playing any sort of card game or roulette or whatever. This is, you know, the lines are adjusting. They're moving. There's different incentives. To go 0-12 against the spread is impossible. It's pretty good. They just did it. Yeah. Yeah, it's like flipping a medical chart is what it's flipping. They landed on thumb, dislocated thumb today for Baker. One of the worst games I've ever watched. It was just such an. such just a clusterfuck for three hours. I think it was the two worst. I forget what metric it is, but the two worst offenses of all of this year were the Vikings offense and Tampa Bay's offense, both in the same game. And I don't know. I guess I'll just be wrong about Minnesota. Like they're going to be good. This is how they're going to do it. And I just, you know, what did they have? Like yardage-wise, it was. I wasn't even paying attention, but, you know, they have one off. I have some stats for you. They have one off. They have one offensive touchdown in the last two weeks, right? And their total yard margin is. That's a tongue twister, is minus 244. So this is the team I'll be wrong about all year. It's fine. All three. They're 3-0. All three wins, they have not gotten a 250 total yards. Today's game had 21st downs and 17 punts. And they were 4-32 on first. 4-32 on first down, the two teams combined. And you really felt it when you watched. Tampa had nine first downs. Kyler stinks. I mean, he's just not a good quarterback. He's just not. And it doesn't really matter because Minnesota, defensively, they have this blitz thing figured out against. Now, I don't know if it's going to hold up against the best teams in the league, but when they play everybody below that top tier, you just don't know where it's coming from. Baker, over and over again, it was like 3rd and 15, 3rd and 23, 3rd and 30, 3rd and 12. You know, they just have a way of making it go backwards. Tampa needed the game. Baker was running for his life then finally got hurt at the end. And. Baker's always running for his life and he's always. They always lose on the play. Like, I almost didn't pay much attention to this because I knew it was going to have a dumb ending like this. So, I didn't think we were going to see Jalen Daniels, Kansas quarterback in there, but he could be their guy for a little bit. Yeah, he came in. I had to Google him. Minnesota's defense, definitely better than I thought considering I wasn't sure the. You know, it's all scheme. I didn't know if they had the talent. And Tampa's offensive line worse than I thought. I thought that was going to be like a top 5 or 6 O-line. I don't really know what happened to them. Worfs is back. Worfs is back. It's going to be fine. And then Niners cards was the other one when you're talking about just weirdness. The Cardinals kick for the cover. They're down 9. So much fun. I got to say, I always think teams should do this. We've talked about this over and over again over the years on the Sunday Night Pod. It was a 14-point game. 45-yarder. You always see the teams try. They burn off 28 more seconds on the clock before they end up kicking the field goal. They were like, let's do it now. Let's go for it. We'll try to get the onside. They didn't get it, but they did get the cover. Bad game for the Niners because Trent Williams, Mike Evans, and Drake Greenlaw all got hurt. So now they're missing, I think, 27 of their 22 starters. It doesn't seem to matter. Three bodies a game. It's crazy. It doesn't matter. Arizona today, 38-44 time of possession. They almost had the ball for 39 minutes. They had 27 first downs. Didn't matter. They lost. Brock Purdy is our September MVP, which is usually a bad thing. This is whoever is our MVP favorite heading into October. Something bad usually happens. I remember Russell Hustle and Bustle was the most famous one for this a few years ago, but Baker last year. I always feel like it's, you never want to peak in September, but Brock Purdy's been out of his mind. He's been, if you knew nothing, if you just were, like, in the Martian and you were away in outer space for 10 years and you came back and you're just watching football, you would think he's the best quarterback in the league. He had this throw. He rolled out to the right today and he did a jump up in the air. Yeah. You know, in most quarterbacks, they just roll, they just kind of run out of bounds and throw it. He did like a throw in the air precision and it was like, holy shit. Never seen anybody do that. He's been just awesome. He's very cool and I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to think of who to compare him to because he has Mahomes-like qualities but he also has like Baker-like qualities with a good Baker, you know, when he's under siege and he kind of like gets out of there but yeah, that spinning, that play when he jumps in the air, he's just, he's really fundamental and that offense is good. I mean, I don't know what to do about Shanahan. Just like, just like the game was kind of over even though it ended up being close on that lateral play. Yeah. They're just better. He does all the little things, Shanahan. But I love this game because I had it on a teaser. Mine is two and a half and that shithead Pinheiro misses two extra points so they're up two and then San Francisco should be killing the clock and Purdy runs for a touchdown and I'm losing my mind and then I find out like Kittle with a block in the back when Purdy's at the like two-inch line. Yeah. So now they really could run it out, right? And Maniac Shanahan draws up a play to throw it to Kittle who looks like he wants to go out of bounds but scores anyway and then like you said, Arizona kicks a field goal to cut it to six. That is the beauty of a two-team teaser. Yeah, that was, that was the Chiefs. The game's over and you don't cover. Right. And that's that. Right. I like that game for Arizona. I think there's something there with Arizona. I liked how they played in week one. They got their ass kicked last week but I thought they moved the ball and, you know, love who we all stared at in our fantasy leagues and went either way later in a round by round or didn't go for nearly enough money in an auction draft and guess what? The guy's really good and it's going to be heard from all year and they're, you know, if Marvin Harrison, if, they had nailed that pick which they didn't but that offense would be, would be pretty dangerous. I like, I think they're well coached. I think that's a frisky team. That's a team I would not put in a tease against them basically. Yeah. I think that's a watch out team. I thought he was perfect for a backdoor cover and that's kind of what happened with Brissette. I think he had like a game where it was 47-57 last year against them so they ended up losing but, yeah, they, this is, they kind of played at a level of competition. I went two and three in, in ring and run 07 but the two games I was agonizing over today to be my Sunday ad were Arizona plus eight and a half which would have been fun and then the one I picked was, was the Chiefs which dropped to minus nine and a half so I grabbed it and they're up. They're just so bored. They're, they just, they're like, can this game just end without anybody getting hurt? Yeah. We're, we're watching, but my daughter's boyfriend was over and he's a Chiefs fan so we had to have it on as one of the four but I had the action on it so I'm, I'm invested in it and Miami's just terrible. I mean, anytime they have to throw the ball it's a disaster. Right. And the Chiefs are up seven and it just feels like the classic they're just going to be bored and win by seven but they go ahead and they get the, they, they finally did it. They go up to 14 and then you realize with the Dolphins there's probably Malik, you know, in garbage time is not the answer. There's certain quarterbacks where you're like, this is, this is great. He's going to move the ball down and score. Yeah. It's not going to be Malik Willis. So you're, you're, you're feeling pretty good when you're up double figures on Malik. So bummed. And I thought they were smart to go for it on fourth down. Like it's like fourth and six around midfield but they had plenty of time. They could have punted away but yeah, they're, they're kind of listless. The only way, I think it was really hot down there and it showed and the Chiefs were just, Chiefs were dying to lose that game. Yeah. And ended up covering. Oh, well they, can we talk about the call? The other great call of the day? The rough in the passer or Mahomes in the end zone? Yeah, right, right. Hilarious call. Hilarious. The Chiefs are the best. I love it. And their fans know. Like all the, it was Chop Robinson just comes right down the middle. Mahomes releases the ball. Tackles him. As he's landing on him, he lifts his arms out, which is what you're supposed to do. If you drive him down and you have your arms like this, they call it. He puts his arms out as he's landing on him. Which means it's not a rough in the passer, but it's Mahomes and he's going to get the call. You talk about what the hell is the guy supposed to do? Like, yeah, that's, that's right at the top of the heap there. What the hell is that guy supposed to do? But the funny thing on that, you know, there was a defensive holding call on the same play. So it's almost like the referees were like, whoa, Eddie, I got this. What do you have to go be so obvious in the end zone? Come on, dude. The 20 yard line. What do you think that's for? You were supposed to get the next call for the Chiefs. Dolphins. I forgot to mention with Houston because I'm going through my notes and I went out of sequence. You got to talk about your crush on Carly Ursa Gordon again. Houston, their next seven. Cowboys, Titans, both at home. At Jaguars in London. Home Giants week seven. And then bye week at Chargers, at Browns, at Colts. I feel like they're going to be five and five by the time this is all said and done. this is why we like them, right? Like we like them for number one, probably not going to get the one seed like we predicted in August, but yeah. And they're in a division that's three and nine right now. And there's no way you could convince me. Any of these teams are much better than them. The stupidest game of the day. And this is when I lost the under on Steelers Bengals. Oh yeah. Steelers scored in the first two minutes. It's like, all right, kiss this under goodbye. I teased it up to 40 and a half. Pittsburgh ends up with 411 yards. They punt once. Um, and since he's new and improved, we can officially stop talking about that. Yeah. Cause Rogers was slicing and dicing him. They had real trouble covering the Pittsburgh tight ends, including that giant guy who just watched him. It just seems like he should be the best tight end in the league. Every time somebody throws to him, it's like watching a high school movie. He's got to be 340 pounds. And then I'm not saying, how do you even tackle that dude? Yeah. Um, since he has, a rough in the pan punter penalty to keep one Pittsburgh drive alive. Right. And then their punt returner muffs a fumble that keeps another, it was one of those games. Um, it was one of those, I don't even understand how Cincinnati lost this game, but they did. Tell me, you think of this stat Joe Burrow now one in 34 when trailing in the last eight minutes of a football game. I saw this. I'm shocked about it. And then I saw 34. That's that's insanity. Like that's how do we, we put that guy shouldn't be in our everybody's top four quarterbacks. And I, I know that he is or right around there, but, and then you look at, we'll get back to it. But we, we look at Bryce young has 12 game winning drives. I'm like, when the hell did that happen? Is that in his life? So Joe Burrow might not have 12 game winning drives. If he's one in 34, when trailing in the last eight minutes in the NFL, right? I need, um, I might have to do a rarity and assign this to maybe our guy, Austin, Gail can help out with this one. I really need to understand the stat. It feels too insane to be true. There has to be more context to it. Maybe like in 25 of those games, they were down double figures with eight minutes left. Like maybe he just hasn't been in enough close games. I don't just dumbfounded by that. Steelers are now two and one, their next fiber at Brown's Colts at Buccaneers at saints in Paris and Brown's home on a Thursday night, they might be like six and two. I don't know what they're going to do. their defense and the coaching and now they really need this game. It probably ends at seven, right? Well, this is how I felt about the Chargers this week. Like, Chargers really need this game. Everyone wants to bury the Bills from week to week. Like, oh, they can't. Josh Allen can't do this. Like, this is a perfect spot for them. And then the Bills, like, lackluster effort, and they still win. The Bills would, though, not only if Josh has an off game, all of a sudden there's James Cook doing something spectacular. Like, they're pretty tough. Five watchable games. I thought the slate was really good this week. Bengals-Jags is a good one. That's in Cincinnati. I should mention, because when we talked about Jags-Pats, we only talked about the Pats side of it. I thought the Jaguars were excellent today. I thought Lawrence was fantastic and made a couple really, really lights out. I don't know how he got it in their throws. And that was, my dad and I were talking about Drake May, like, whatever speed bump he's hit. And Lawrence had, like, five of these, right? He had, during his career, it felt like every year we had a moment where we're questioning, is Trevor Lawrence any good? What's going on here? And then he got paid. Why did he do that? Right. Everyone's like, what? Yeah. Same kind of pedigree, up and down. And now he's really, I think, settled into a nice spot. And that would be the hope for the guy who finished second in the MVP voting last year, that maybe he can get his career back together. But I thought Lawrence was awesome. One thing he shouldn't do, Drake May, is I have to call Lawrence out. Whatever. I like him as a player. He's fun to watch. But that, you know, the gambling industry has enough problems. And then add to it, like, stuff that he did, like with eight minutes left. You saw that, right? You're watching with your father. Eight minutes left. Stopping at the one yard line. That was weird. Why do you do that? You're asking for trouble. You're going to give us trouble. Don't stop at the one freaking yard line with eight minutes left. Or don't be in the game. Right? Right. Or take a knee from the 30 or something. Don't stop at the one. It just felt like a brain fart. It's a lot. Bengals at home against the Jacks. I have Bengals minus two and a half. Yeah, we split that. I got it exactly. It's two and a half. Hmm. I don't think that line moves. Right? No, I think that's fair. Jacks. Maybe on Sunday, that moves to minus one and a half. Yeah, I don't think it gets to three. That's for sure. That's a good game. I think the Jags are good. Even last week against Denver, they played a really good first half and died in the second half like the Rams did today. And there might be something with Denver and September with that out. But, you know, Washington's there one play. Then all of a sudden, it's Myers. They still have Thomas roaming around. Lawrence can run. They're running game. I don't love their running backs, but they weren't bad today. Have you heard Parker Washington speak? Yeah, it's interesting. It's definitely a top five. I didn't have that voice going with your body. Yeah, it's like when an actor is like Australian. Like, what? You've been on The Walking Dead for a decade and I didn't know this? Yeah. Rams are at the Eagles. Coming off a loss. One and two. We'll see with the Eagles tomorrow how they look. I have the Rams favored in this game by one and a half. All right. I got it exactly. It's two and a half. Oof. I think there's a lot of support with the Eagles. Man, that's another way that Cowboys lost heart today because it does feel like 10 and seven is going to take the NFC East. I know. Damn it. Stupid, stupid team. This is the rematch of that worst bad game. Like, bad beat of the year last year, right? This was the block kick game. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Fun. I was thinking with the two Shons today coaching, that was, I guess, every time they play, it's the rematch of that, the worst playoff call of all time. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Saints-Rams. Oh, I had, of course, had a lot of money on the Rams that day. Yeah. That would have been a good Super Bowl. We have the two Texas teams playing each other. It's in Houston. Houston 0-3. Dallas 1-2. I got to say, if you had told me after three weeks these teams would have a combined one win, I would have assumed Texas had the win, not your team. Oh, interesting. Well, they will. They'll have a win. You just have to wait a few days. I could not get this to three without knowing if Nico Collins was playing. So, I have Texans minus two and a half. You hit it exactly. I said one and a half. I don't know why. I thought they'd give Dallas a little more credit. A little more firepower in that offense. But, fine. Two and a half. I think if Nico plays, that goes to three. Chiefs at the Raiders. Man, shit. This could have been the marquee game of the week. Yeah. How many Chiefs fans at this game? There are a lot of Raider fans. Like, there definitely would be some Chiefs fans, but there would be a lot of Raider fans. And even better, there's going to be a lot of social media videos of people fighting in the stands. Hmm. In bathrooms, in concourses, even in the sections. I went to this game, Chiefs at Raiders, three years ago. It was a week 18. Didn't matter for the Chiefs. They still started Mahomes and there were a lot of Chiefs fans. A lot. Yeah. I put this right in the Vegas zone, ironically. Chiefs minus four and a half. All right. This is just like, I said four and it is four and a half. But this is like, Kyle, I'm falling asleep. Just get me the Lions and those, it'll be my Lions. That's what's going on here, right? I'm cheating now? Yeah, I think so. Six and three. To make myself feel better because my quarterbacks have to feel better. Like, I don't need to feel better. Yeah, you got it exactly. I think it stays right around there. Hmm. Raiders are a live dog in that game. I don't, I would, I can't say I was blown away by the Chiefs today. I don't, their defense, Miami was really running on them and they lost A-chan and, you know, in the first quarter of that game. And then their backup running back, Gordon, he left the game because he had cramps because it was, it was hot and the Chiefs were still running the ball. And it's like, I don't even know who's playing right now. How are you getting five yards carried? Yeah, yeah. I, you and I are going to take the Raiders on a teaser. Just be cursing them this time next week. I'm going to just bet the money line. Really? Look at you, Raiders and Browns are going already. I was telling our friends at FanDuel, because I've been in Boston, I've been using FanDuel and they were asking, like, what do you like? What do you don't like? And they have all these fun promo stuff. And I was like, the one thing you don't really have are like the boosts for underdog money lines. Like a little 30% underdog money line. You know, $50 max, whatever. Because, like, I would throw the Raiders in that one. They also don't pay you out if you lose. I hate that. I know a lot of the other books do that too, but it's really hard to get ahead. 49ers home for the Broncos. I don't know who's playing for the 49ers because, every guy on their team is now hurt except Brock Purdy. I have 49ers by three. Let me check if this has moved. It is two and a half and I had three also. I'm winning. Yeah, you're a good number. Seven to four, including ties. Fairly watchables. This is the definition of a fairly watchables. Bears, Jets. I guess we didn't talk about Jets-Lions. I accidentally skipped over that one. Oh, yeah. It was a fun one. Yeah, Gibbs was great. But the Jets can move the ball a little bit. Geno, the question of whether Geno could be revived at all, I feel like, I don't know whether the Lions secondary was the biggest part of him being revived, but Geno had some good throws in that game. He had good throws. Wilson was really his only big name by the time kickoff and then he had to go out. Yeah, Geno had good numbers throughout. Sadiq looks like he's the real thing, which, all the people I know who follow college were convinced that he was going to have an impact and he looks like he's going to have an impact. And Aaron Glenn really wanted that game. Like, doing stuff, like going for two down the, the thing we hate that all the smart people explain to us that we don't understand. Like, you know, trying to cut it to six, right? And then getting stuck at eight. So, and then tying it anyway. Yeah. I don't know. I think he would have gone for it to win it, too, at the end. Geno was 31 for 37. For 321, three touchdowns. Zero picks. Mostly because the Lions defense really blows. It's really bad. But the Jets, there's a scenario where they're 3-0. They blew the game last week. I still don't know how they lost the Packers game. And then, in this game, they were right in it. We mentioned Gibbs before. Gibbs on pace now for over 2,600 scrimmage yards and 34 touchdowns, which should be the records across the board. Yeah, the Lions, you want to get right your offense, play them, on three days rest or seven or ten days, it doesn't matter. That's the defense you want to go against. I have, because this is in Chicago and it's Geno Smith, and this is what he does is makes you trust him and then he burns you. I have the Bears minus two and a half for this, but I think that's too high. You're going to win. No, it's too low. I said two and it's three. Oof. That surprises me. So it's getting a little crazy. So it's not it's not Caleb Williams. So that, that injury was real and extensive after all? It sounds like that was a three to four week injury. Right. Okay. So that would be Although if you were Caleb Williams' PR team, you're like, look, dude, I know you might be able to come back next week, but you might have to sit out now for three weeks here. Right. You took a lot of shit this week on social media. Too much of a show. Yeah. Come back next year. We're going to have to make this seem worse. Bears-Jets. Something terrible will happen that game. There will be some sort of reprehensible touchdown or turnover, or punt return or something awful. Bucks. for the reeling Packers who we did not talk about who the most disgraceful performance of the year so far the Thursday night Atlanta game which was you know Atlanta was like a touchdown underdog it's Thursday night this is why you shouldn't bet on Thursday night games or pretend you're going to know what's going to happen but Panics did kind of come alive in that game as the Packers defense was decomposing and the Packers are just look like they're just going to be bad we were joking last week about should we cross the Falcons off like oh alright there's a game in four days let's just wait and see it like let's wait to see if we cross the team off now they're in first place can't cross them off we cross the Packers off maybe that's the team we should have waited for four days yeah and they're oh man I don't want to overstate this but they're a top five exciting offense in the NFC at this point I hate that I'm saying that but right it's like Bijan and then tight end doesn't do anything Kyle Pitts but you know yeah Drake London Drake London like just gets free if he was just a little faster he'd probably have like 12 touchdowns a year so you don't have the Packers pick no it's I don't have it you have it the Jets have it oh I thought you meant the actual line because there's no line there's no line no the Packers don't have their first round pick this year because they traded in the Michael Parsons trade but then you rerouted it right toward the Jets the Jets get to pick between your pick or the Packers pick in 27 well they'll pick whoever's whatever's the better pick yes it's the one they're going with the Cowboys have both picks and the Jets get whichever is the better it's like a basketball scenario yeah so only Jerry Jones could corner himself in a way like he can't fully root against the Packers now right because of this dumb thing like you could have been like Michael Parsons is the enemy root against the Packers fine like no no I'm going to finagle a way that you know trade this Quinn and William this big thing and like now now it's confusing as shit I mean I don't know who the eight worst teams with the order is after Dolphins Titans but the Packers I think the Chargers are another one I don't see how they're not two of the eight or nine worst teams right from what I from watching all the teams and all the games the Packers I don't think the Packers should have won last week I don't like anything about I don't like their offensive line and if Jacobs doesn't come back for two or months or whatever they're not going to be able to run the ball at all right it's weird they showed the stat today they're in the Sunday night game the three three quarterbacks that take the fewest sacks are the two in the game tonight Nixon Stafford and Jordan Love I'm like how is that possible that offensive line is so miserable the defense is bad they're just there's nothing to like about this team honestly more regrettable extension Matt LaFleur who or Baker Mayfield oh I thought you were going to say like Beyonce extension extension oh I see no I think I think it's Baker yeah I don't know maybe he would have waited a couple games to iron that one in right also he's been so up and down it's really tough with these quarterbacks where you just have to kind of blindly play them 50 million a year and hope it works out you know I thought it's fine if it's Justin Herbert like whether or not it's ultimately happens from the Chargers he still other teams would pay that nobody else is paying Baker Mayfield 50 million a year yeah it's funny no one is but three years ago I would have said you probably would have agreed that Tampa's the best fit for this guy just everything they do is the best fit but that was the Mike Evans Tampa and now I know like now well this isn't a good fit at all I mean if he's going to get injured it doesn't really matter but where's he can go to different places where he would he would I don't know about thrive but he would be improved yeah Bucks Packers in Tampa and I have the Bucks favored by three oh I can't believe it I said five the Bucks by three Bucks by three at home against Green Bay he's not playing the guy you had to look up is the quarterback right Jalen Jalen Daniels it doesn't matter I don't have there's no line on this so okay we could skip it I just assumed Baker was going to play hmm all right maybe he is what does a separated thumb do yeah I don't know is that just the trick your uncle does he'll tape it to his other fingers right last one Seahawks Chargers in Seattle I had it around seven couldn't decide where to put it put it Seahawks minus six and a half only because it's a must win for the Chargers only because you're a jerk it's I said six it is six and a half on fire this week could be could be a good sign for my that's a teaser my betting let's just let's just especially after Washington last week yeah I do really want to go to the Seahawks I do really want to go to the Seahawks I do really want to go to the Seahawks I do really worry about the Seahawks running game I haven't talked to Danny and Mina about it yet but I I just haven't seen anything from their running backs like dude the Kenneth Walker thing which I think he got like 14 a year from Kansas City I never understand stand the finances with the salary cap and how teams can just push the money ahead and eventually they get killed for it right and on paper everything they did was smart and they spend the end of the first round pick on a new running back but if they didn't hit with this guy this is pretty bad this is pretty bad this is pretty bad this has happened to the Patriots 20 years ago with Maroney where post Corey Dillon it's like oh Maroney he's gonna be our Corey Dillon he sucked what round did you he was a first rounder first round pick and he was one of the first round I forgot about that yeah and it was a really really important pick for us and we just whiffed on it and didn't win a Super Bowl again for eight more years aww well that's too bad yeah sorry Poopfecta three games Giants Cardinals first one it's in New Jersey I like the cards I penciled them in for me for Ringer 107 I have the Giants as minus one and a half point favorites alright I'm way off you're cheating aside I'm way off I said four and a half and it is exactly one and a half I think I've nailed like six of these why did I have so big so big you wanna you have one two three four six you have six more cheating you knew that yeah six six six exactly right at least something good happened to me today Ravens home for the Titans I think I got this one wrong I probably went too low I have Ravens minus eight oh I had ten and a half it's eleven and a half and this one's worth four four games I don't know why I went so low on that one eleven and a half eleven and a half so the Ravens are gonna win the Seahawks are gonna win so Ravens in a three team ten pointer yeah you're thinking and then maybe the one you're about to say could be the third oh man Vikings home for Malik Willis in the Miami Dolphins my only thing with this is as we discussed and decided a couple years ago Kyler Murray is not allowed in teases hmm so if you bet this game you just have to do it straight up you can't put him in a tease you can't put him in a parlay you can't put him with other teams you just can't not allowed it's actually illegal I looked it up is it really illegal yeah it's illegal yeah they ruled on this two years ago okay if you bet Kyler Murray it just has to be straight up but look up the manifesto and how many times um has a team played another team where the defensive coordinator is suing the other team oh I forgot oh say they don't run it up oh Flores is gonna he's gonna crush Malik well this feels like a Vikings minus 19 and a half adjusted or something right yeah hmm I actually didn't think the Dolphins were that bad today um but I asked I didn't couldn't tell if the Chiefs were just in a coma yeah well if they have running backs out what do they even have anymore now it's just excellent defense so the Sunday and Monday night games well you didn't pick uh you gotta say a number oh Vikings I went Vikings minus eight and a half I think I'm too low all right no you are a little bit I said eight I said six and a half it is nine and a half oh I hit it I don't know why I said six and a half dumb dumb Sunday night games are weird ones I can't wait to hear uh Chris Collinsworth talk himself into Lions Panthers in Carolina but that's what we're getting um be a lot of Jameer Gibbs right oh Mike there's nobody like this guy there's just not one one running back in the last 10 years like this guy um um um um look at Coker on the sidelines they gotta get him he wants to be out there put some pads on he's he's chomping at the bit Mike um Lions I have favorite in Carolina by two and a half um two and a half it's three I said three and a half we split it right yeah boy the Lions really did have easy early on right I mean I know we went over it but you know who got absolutely you know who got shithoused in the game in the Browns game today was McMillan oh he's like two catches that they that ward on the Browns who when he's out there he's one of the best cornerbacks in the league but has always is injured or has a concussion or whatever but when he plays he's awesome he's took him out couldn't do anything yeah so weird I mean guess what the reason I mentioned that is because he's gonna have a lot more fun this week against the Detroit Lions yeah that's true yeah should be I'm on And then, uh, the big game and then Monday. night is actually a fun game it's it's not won't be telling our grandkids about it but saints falcons in new orleans um i think this is the the katrina anniversary game i think they're doing oh right a bunch of stuff for it so it should be emotional um i put it at uh saints minus two um i said uh one and a half and it is two and a half so you get it and you sweep the week it's not even close but you know and i know this game whatever it's got meaning now now this is going to sound like i'm an asshole but what who who schedules three nfc south teams in the two night games like they can't if it was going to be the katrina game you can't have carolina in the sunday night you can't do it this is i don't know if you blame ai maybe this is the beginning of the end where ai just kills us all and which does the schedule and first to kill us and then at the end it's just killing us this is it this is the beginning of the it does feel like i think it's just the beginning of the second half of the season but i think it's the beginning of the second half of the season i think it's just the beginning of the second half of the season i have to put three nfc south teams on sunday and monday night surprised he didn't do all four that could have been bucks panthers we just could have gotten the whole division out of there should flex that now 13 to 6 i think you won good lord shuck is just outright fun to watch he's really fun to have on i finally have him on one of my fantasy teams oh that's good uh the one with uh all my all my high school college people and uh just really fun slings the ball the the pick at the end that killed him was not his mistake so he got hit that's good

guy all week funny like i look at the four series and maybe it's because it's two out of three yeah and um i just never i don't like anything the one i would take a shot at is your team and it's like you're crying about him you and hench are crying about the reds like oh they should be plus 260 why are they only plus 145 like we don't have a chance the yankees won the season series 7-6 the al stinks you're playing the yankees without their best no judge it's two out of three you have 87 wins in the garbage al you have of course you have a chance it's dumb we've been terrible for over a month i mean for we just spent like a 500 team or worse and a lot of the guys that carried the team in this streak they're not going to win the game they're not going to win the or either hurt or have died. What? Even this weekend, they put Gasper, who single-handedly was keeping the offense kind of interesting for a couple weeks. And then Guerrero, who came out of nowhere, this 35-year-old flamethrower, who they were just using every other day, it felt like he finally broke down. So those guys are on the IR. And our season's gotten to the point where it's like, oh no, Gasper and Guerrero are on the IR. Like that's how bad it's gotten. But the big thing for this. Gasper and Guerrero. Well, the big thing for the Sox is the bats are just ice cold. Like the only way they're going to beat the Yankees is like 2-1, 3-2, 1-0. It's going to have to be lights out pitching. In October. And that's it. Like I went Friday night. I was going to do this for my parent corner. But for my birthday, I want to go to Red Sox Cubs. And we're in Boston. So got tickets. And of course, like this giant hurricane's coming. We were fucking going. They moved the game up to 530. Second half of the doubleheader. And we go. And, you know, we have great seats. And just drinking. They actually had Michelob Ultra at Fenway. I was excited. Because I do enjoy Michelob Ultra. But watching the Red Sox, these guys just come up. And my daughter's boyfriend, Hank, also really likes the Red Sox. And these batters are coming up. And we're just telling my wife, who doesn't know anything, like, ah, this is going to be an out. Hopefully, he just strikes out. So he doesn't hit no double play. We had no hitters. We had basically Roman Anthony and Sogard. He's the only other guy you'd trust. They end up winning in the eighth because Abreu finally hit. Finally, he was like four for 48. Finally gets one. But it's one of those lineups in a playoff series. I don't see anybody doing anything. And Contreras got hurt. He got hit in the hand. I think that hurts. That for sure hurts. I mean, it actually hurts. Like, I trusted him the most in a playoff series. Like, he was going to have good at-bats. I wouldn't go by, you know. You're going to try. I'm going to try a little harder in these games, I think. Tuesday, Wednesday. They were trying. I didn't. Why? Because it's your birthday? You think they were trying? No, they've been trying. Now, they clinched a playoff spot. But I thought the line was like Yankees minus 170. I thought that was fair. But, you know, it's in Yankee Stadium. I'd be really surprised. The one, the series that jumped out to me was Houston. Houston is like minus 140 against Chicago. And I just, like, Chicago's just not a playoff team. I'd be really surprised if they just, you know, beat Houston. They had a guy. What's the name? He broke the strikeout record. He's batting 199. Colson Montgomery. Yeah, Montgomery. Batting 199. He's like 230 strikeouts. Yeah, 234 or something. Yeah, that's what it was. But, yeah. It's like, I looked up, like, Dave Kingman. Because that was the Mets version of that, yeah. Right. Even he hit, like, 220, 228. The Astros are my Mariners. Like, I just can't. Every time I bet them, it just goes down in flames. And what? They ended up 81 and 81. So, I don't know. It's not a lot of good baseball this week. So, yeah. Like, the White Sox won the Red Sox by them. They have some frisky young guys, but I can't see them winning a playoff series. But this is the dumb thing about these best two or three. Like, you could just. Right. A couple things could happen. So, the AL Keeper League that Hench and I, we haven't won in, like, 20 years. And we're battling my friend, Mike, who's been winning forever in this other team, the Rockers. It's the first three-man race we've had where everybody's in first place at one point on Friday night. Like, it was a real race. Nice. Hench and I are texting about it. This is all to the point my wife's like, I'm going to take your phone if you text Hench again. Like, just every at-bat, looking at it. So, we need strikeouts and we need runs, basically. We need a big weekend of offense. But we have Kate Anderson pitching last night. And we need a big Kate Anderson game. This guy who's been our phenom, we wouldn't trade him. He was going to carry us down the stretch. Seattle just absolutely fucks us. Doesn't bring him up until after the, well, after the deadline. He's on, like, these four or five-inning starts. We don't get what we think out. But now it's like, this will be his last start. It'll be great. We need a big start. Cruising along. I'm watching it on my iPad. Gets hit by a line drive on his throwing arm. Leaves the game. Ten outs. Leaves the game. Takes our season with him. And I'm texting with Hench and Mike, who's going to win the league. And Hench isn't texting. And I'm like, I think Hench is actually dead. I think this killed Hench. And ten minutes later, he just texts back, I'm dead. And then he used to say, long rant, but it was just, why do we do fantasy? I was so bummed out. It ruined my whole weekend. I was like, really? I thought Kate Anderson like shattered his elbow. It's like, this Mariners team is the fucking curse of all time. So their season ends today. They fire the manager right after. the game. It's like, yes, we've decided to separate with Dan Wilson. Oh, really? The guy that you quit on four months ago? And then another guy, we traded for Vlad Guerrero, who's like $37. Yeah. Vlad gives this interview this week, and he's talking about this $500 million contract he got. And he's like, that money is for what I already did. Right, right. It's not about what's about to happen. It's about what I already did. All the Blue Jay fans are like, what? Because this guy is like, he completely mailed in the season. Yeah. So we, Hench and I, I don't know if you've ever been more angry texting ever. We finished second. We had the first pick in the minor league draft next year because we finished second. And we're just never going to win this fucking league. I like that it came down to the last day. You absolutely knew what was going to happen because you hate the Mariners and they had to screw you one more time. Right. Oh, and then there was an extra one where Logan Gilbert, who was on the team that won. It's like, well, we kind of need. We need him to get shelled. Of course, he pitches one of his best games. The Mariners just hated us. Munoz, you'll never be on my team again. Josh Naylor, I have a strong dislike for you. George Kirby, I really hope you get traded to the National League. And then Cade, I hope you come back. You should have a Mariners podcast. I don't know. You could do it like with Kenny Mayne or something. I don't know who you would. Just you two. You and a Mariners fan. I just. I don't. I can't imagine it would ever get worse than them. How started a new segment on the pod? You can go eat a big. You can go eat a fat dick. I'm going to invite. Obviously, the Mariners, we're going to send all the fat dicks to the. them. He's inviting people to eat a fat dick. Yeah. So we haven't won in 22 years. I haven't won our football league in over 20 years since 07. Yeah. Maybe I'm just suck at fantasy. I was really like, I was like, why do I do this? Maybe I'm just not good at it. You're good at other things, right? Yeah. I'm good at other things. Yeah. There's something else. I do like Guerrero though. I'm thinking about it. It's like, that's something like maybe when he signed the contract, he's like, Oh man, this is a lot of money. And his agent's like, Hey kid, shut up, man. This isn't for what you're about to do. This is what you did in the past. It's like, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. I'll just stop hitting home runs. I forgot to tell him not to ever repeat that. That's just agent client talk. He was all proud of it. He gave this interview and he was the way he talked about it was nuts. That was one of the craziest interviews anybody's given. I was almost like, is this AI? Did he actually say this? What happened? He had one home run at home this year. I think at the Rogers center, we traded for him because we needed home runs. Guess what? We need home runs. That was it. No home runs for him. Yeah. It, uh, it was really quite an experience. Um, what, what's, what's going on in New York this week other than Jimmy show? We got the Kimmel show. I don't know. Hopefully it stops raining at some point. Um, and that's it. I don't know. There's a lot going on. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. Go. Uh, all right. Um, so a few weeks ago, my kid went to Cooperstown, right? I had a whole story on that. So they have a couple of weeks off and then they, they're going to play 13 you, um, little league. And it's, it's wildly different from what they did a few weeks ago. The mound goes from 50 to 54 feet, the 80 feet, uh, 80 foot base pads from 70. So it's like almost like you're watching a different game. My ground ball third guys got forever to throw our kid out. So we had our first tournament for the fall and the pitchers from both teams are having trouble adjusting to the longer distance, right? So the catcher short hopping balls all night, each team had like nine walks. And my son was on his way to being the biggest favorite here. So he's, um, he's under throwing, he's pitching, he's under throwing short, hopping the catcher. And then he's overcompensating and sailing pitches high out of the strike zone. Like the Mariners almost signed them right away. But, uh, so then he like, he's like, Oh, I heard you have terrible control. Exactly. Um, so he walks two kids and then throws a ball and then points to his right elbow. And I guess like, it didn't feel right. And, uh, and so, the coach comes out and takes him out immediately. The Mariners would have left him in because you need strikeouts, right? And then it's like all the parents are saying to me, like, uh, and then I go up to, I go up to him in the dugout. I'm like, what's going on. You're right. Cause I've seen this before. This could be, I've seen both sides. This could be, yeah, I'm actually hurt. Or this could be, uh, I know I'm going to walk four more kids and I want to, I want to get out of here now. You know what I mean? So he just like stares, he's just stares through me. And then the parents like, is Harrison okay? And I'm like, I don't know. I think so. Like, I don't want them to worry. Right. So I don't want to say no, he's hurt, but I don't want to be like, yeah, he just thinks he's going to walk everybody. So he's out. So, um, so the next day he's, he's still feeling it, even though he's icing it and we're doing the heat. And Melissa's like, I'm going to get this take, take it and get looked at. Cause this, this'll, this won't end with him. So he gets it, he gets looked at and he has what's called little leaguers elbow. So it's inflammation. There's no tendons, but you need a break. You need like two to three weeks off. Right. So I'm like, all right. So he won't throw for two to three weeks. We let his know, let his coach know his coach is fine. And the coach is like, uh, Hey, talk to Helen, Martha and Shelly because their sons went through the same thing and they'll know what kind of physical therapy he needs. Oh Jesus. Physical therapy, physical therapy. He's 12. Like he just needs off. He just needs to take three weeks off. So she's like, um, my wife's like, no, I'm taking him. He's got soreness and he's got inflammation. Like, okay, great. And then like, like, how did physical therapy go? And, and Melissa's like, oh, well the girl's like really cute. The girl doesn't like to like, I don't know, like Harrison was like laughing when she's like tickling his elbow. I'm like, that's great. You know what? It's not funny. Like this bill I'm going to get for physical therapy. And I'm thinking like we were kids, like you and Gus probably played, you probably like threw a ball, like you play like tag up or something and you would throw it or the pop-up game where you just throw like pop-ups as high as you possibly could for what? For like two hours. Yeah. And then like your arm would fall off. Yeah. And what happened? Your dad took you to physical therapy? Your mom? No, no, nothing like that. No, not that. I know I sound like an a-hole and a, an old jerk, but just take a few weeks off. We need physical therapy for a 12 year old who's x-rayed fine. Anyway, that's where I am. Yeah. How about a hiatus? Just take three, four weeks off. Yeah. Play flag football, run routes. You'll be fine. You're good. We should mention, are you, you're still battling the kidney stones? Yes. I have not passed that yet. It's too big. I said 10 centimeters. Sorry. I don't have my metrics down. It was 10 millimeters. So it's big, too big to pass and in a weird place where they can't zap it right now. So I just have to tough this out and stay on top of the pain pills for the next couple of weeks before this. This is going to be bread fire 2.0. I don't know how this is going to play out. So multiple people, including two different urologists sent me listener emails pointing out the irony of you getting a kidney stone. Because one of the best things to prevent kidney stones, hot water and lemon. Oh, you were serious. I thought you were just being a jerk. No, that's for real. Like something about lemon. And it's like, and if people feel like they're coming on, you're supposed to have hot water and lemon is one of the remedies. So you mocked me last year. You know what? Maybe you should have just followed my lead and started doing the hot water and lemons. I'm, uh, I'm happy to say that. I'm not doing it. I'm not, I'd rather have passed stones every day in my life than be a sissy like that. Hot water and lemon. Sorry. I will never stop calling him drink baby. I'll never have hot water and lemon. The two hills I'm dying on. Um, so my daughter last year in class, and she didn't show this to me. I found out from my wife wrote this story about, um, about playing soccer her whole life and how, what I was like on the sidelines, like encouraging her, but also if she got hurt, I would always be like, you're fine. You're fine. Cause you kind of have to tell that, you know, cause sometimes she would get a little dramatic. I, all kids do, but she's playing a physical position and anytime she got hurt or she'd be like, ah, and I could always read if she was actually hurt. I'd be like, you're fine. You're fine. Um, which might make me like a little bit of a parent prick. I don't know. Um, but then there was one time when she really got, decked and, um, and this was like when she was in ninth grade, like really bad. And it was like, oh, and it was like the one time I didn't tell her she was fine. And so she knew maybe she wasn't fine. So she wrote this whole piece about it. It was pretty good. So then I went to the game Wednesday and she got nailed and she was kind of near me. And I started to yell that you're fine. Cause she was, I could see her like, and then I stopped myself. So she got in my head, like whatever she did is she jet on my truck thing. Yeah. So now I'm, now I'm re, rethinking all the things I yelled her again. Oh man. I basically just yell, go Z come on Z and go Z. Those are my two, two things I bring to the table. It's going to be the name in the next paper that goes, I didn't realize you're fine. Was, was this thing, this North pole for her when, when I didn't say it the one time she knew maybe she wasn't fine. You can't say it ironically now where she'll just like nod to you now. Like, cause she, maybe that, maybe I'll flip it. I'll just start screaming. You read it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're fine. I like that. Um, you're fine. And then we've been in Boston for a few days and my son is home alone with somebody who's staying with him at the house. And I don't think he misses us at all. Really? Yeah. He's like, when are you guys coming back? Like, not like, are you guys coming back soon? And then I was thinking about when I was 18 and then every high school and teen movie I ever saw, they're all centered around the parents going away. And then somebody, you know, this is like the plot of risky business. So hopefully there's not a brothel being run in my house right now. I mean, you loved it too, right? When your parents were away. Yeah. That's what my wife was like. I don't feel like he misses us. And I was like, trust me, he doesn't, he's probably delighted that we're, that we're not there. When I was young, when we are, I don't know, I was probably like 14 or so. Like we, my parents went to marriage encounter and it's where you worked on your feelings and everything. And now it's just therapy, whatever. It's just therapy. But it was like two full day. They didn't stay overnight, but it was like eight in the morning till like one in the morning. And then the next day, the same thing, it was a weekend. And then when they came back, the second, the third day, I was like, oh man, I was like, you guys, you should do this every weekend. It was so peaceful. It was peaceful. You got a lot of work to do on yourself. Um, yeah. And we took care of the house fine, but yeah, the kids love it when the parents are gone. Anyway. Well, I'll be back in time for, I'll be back in time for Red Sox Yankees, which hopefully we'll see what happens. You're fine, Bill. You're fine. I'm fine. I don't think I'm fine with the Red Sox. Um, we'll see what happens. I wish, man, I wish we had a healthy Contreras and I wish we had Gasper. Now Gasper, they have two lefty starters. So Gasper would only play against the one, but I just wish we had a full game. You didn't name a starting pitcher yet. Did you for tomorrow? They've been kind of mysterious about it. We do have three good starting pitchers. That would be the case for, that's it. And we have a closer, we have an eighth inning guy. I think Mayo could be a long relief guy, but I just, I don't know who the hits are going to come from. Who do you think's winning the world series? Do you make a pick? Um, I haven't yet. I'm going to, uh, let's wait this one week, which is going to be meaningless. Uh, I know it's probably not going to be a lot of any team playing this week. And WNBA, which of course had to start their playoffs tonight. Yeah. Or today, even though they're going against 14 football games. Perfect. But they had this incredible Liberty links matchup. The Liberty is the eighth seed, but they've been hurt all year. And of course they beat the links now and now they can knock them out. Oh, nice. The links were the one seed. They dominated the whole year. Miles is a little banged up. I didn't see the game. I was just getting updates on it, but the Liberty like dominated them apparently. And then the aces killed the fever. So I don't, I don't know what's going to happen to that either, but I wish it had been three weeks. Moneyline, links came to Vikings and chiefs. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Can we throw UCLA at Oregon and my God six. Oh, that's going to be fun. That was UCLA ranked. Dude, would you have like two pick sixes? That's amazing. They won by 51 points in Maryland. They were one and a half point favorites. Just, uh, and I know you went on fan. You try to like make the most of it, but you didn't make exactly the most of it, right? You were going to bet 50 plus or something. I had, uh, I had the, I did not do the 50 plus. Yeah, I had them for seven wins and I have them make the playoffs at 22 to one, which now has to be probably like five to one. But the bigger thing is USA, the Lincoln Riley things going sideways. Yeah. Their, their player took out Dante more and the most reprehensible sportswoman of the year. Um, and it just feels like UCLA has grabbed the city. Yeah. From, from USC in a real way. We'll see if they can maintain it, but they got Oregon. They have a buy this week and then Oregon. That's going to be great. Um, the backup was good. Well, but yeah, yeah, I'm glad, I'm glad you're watching college. I am. I have to save you from, from basketball. It can't be a hundred percent basketball and the Patriots not playing well is, is, uh, not good for me. My wife's not happy about it. She's like, I don't, this college thing. I don't know if I like it. Cause, it's a whole other day, multiple games. I'm like, it's pouring rain out. What else are we going to do? Tell her October is going to be rough. There's a lot. Um, all right, Sal, keep us posted on the kidney stones. All right. Um, there you go. What else do you have to plug in? Uh, ringer wise guys, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday is the big preview show. That's going to be fun. Are we going five days a week during October? What's our plan? No. Okay. Four is plenty. God. Great. All right. Yeah. No, no, I think, uh, well, we could, we'll make, you know what? We'll make videos on Wednesday. It's fine. But, uh, he wants us to do something with, uh, October's 26, the Equinox. Oh, all right. I feel like we've never fully saw it. Cause there's one day where it's like everything at the same time. All right. What day is that? Is that, I think he said it's the 26th. Yeah, I know. But is that, uh, all right, we'll do something nice on the 26th. So, um, Thursday first, it's like a Tuesday, maybe.
