Ass thou art, a put up in every watch, was unbounded, acted in the line of fire have a form of becoming on Monday for we watch both so stating for that come up. We're gonna, have robbed moaning talk and, after the two thousand and eighteen the n b a games were going to react to basically everything we've seen for the last three days, just things that have jumped at us and then Peter schrager is going to come on and talk about the nfl. Do we have a best team

what are we noticing through seven weeks, workmen expect in weak eight that will lead to mind our tax, and that is today's outcast. Let's break our friends from project I were taken, as is almost ten o clock at night, the civic tat rob behind easier from random seven, the rare that come. You stayed up wake as he was, or took a dance with that three straight days, a varied attainable goodbye and began to start with the biggest story. Tell you bread! The six what assigning that was illustrate looks we just watch. Lebron vs versus the sons,

bronze. Twenty nine minute limit, I think, is out and though he by allowing or quarter a bed, I bade the two big head down just go into the basket place at the end, but biggest thing that's jumped out to you in the last three days is what lakers wiser is in general. In general. I think a lot of these teams that we expect to be really good. Clearly, have some assembly required and the girls are one of those teams. I think we saw left in the box in the sixers tonight to worsen it. Certainly with you know the first days of the victor weapon yamba experiencing everyone is getting up to speed in like in The rhythms trend understand. How will these new pieces fit together? Not regulatory freed the opening It's the season to feel that way, but I think even some of the stuff that personally I thought was going to be seamless, like the honest, dane pick and roll there's some kinks in it that they're going to have to figure out over time and

lakers. I thought were the one that surprise man that one, because I thought they were one of the teams that were going to have the advantage coming in, or you think about last year's team compared to this year's team. It doesn't seem like reed's is involved enough either game that data. You know I don't see that after thought, but it just like he was more in the mix in the play last year and I liked liked shrewder did for her. Last year. He was good and verona last night. really fit in with what they did so they're going to have to figure out that Vincent de lo thing and wood was playing crunch time, which I was really surprised. Did you think we'd be getting this much kristin? Would at that? it's a flyer for them, guarding Kevin durant and the passions wild stuff. But if nothing else, we can trust that, when christian, what is out there, he will be christian. Would in these uncertain times, we can always fall back on that. You certainly had his fair share of like black hole can possess in this game, but he also does play into the lakers advantages in terms of

thanks right it their size against a team like phoenix they're, just gonna be able to without muscle, gets rebounds get two balls. They can't get too so that part of it paid I thought in terms- is like having another big out there, and certainly the Anthony Davis experiment continues. As far as I d want more sites with him. Do you want to play small with him? There's always that eternal question, because he seems a little reluctant to do it on a full time basis, but I'm sure christian was going to get his shots. I mean clearly jackson haze is gonna, get some shots in the rotation to be a meaningful part of the lakers the mix. Therefore, the lake or so I dont, know darwin him has a lot of questions to figure out, including the one you use. With Austin wreathed does like. Who has the ball, whose initiating for us who is involved on possession to possession basis? because this game this was all the angel Russell. And it was a lot of a better view- d'angelo Russell. Then maybe we saw the other night, but it still feels like a lot. Thirty three.

it's transmit yeah, reaves, seven shots one assist and I thought his all of his usage stuff was going to go up, but it seems like it drifted around those were the other. I was surprised that really was gonna, be a bigger part of the same, only twelve minutes, but I when change by thought on them. They're, just such a big, problematic team, and if you this, lines near feel good after that where's game right in the where's, no dream on thereafter power them or on the boards, the two centres at twenty two. Then tonight you see the flip side of the of the use of turkish exactly where it's like you zero, ran, protection and you're getting somebody who's, just gonna be confused any time. Somebody is coming out of a pack comment, basically lobby at the end of the game just said a minute go to walk the other guy yeah, I'm going to go attack that guy right there. Ah durant was better tonight, at least for the first three quarters that he looked on tuesday night. There was, it was

really cool, just say in those guys on a basketball court. After all these years, you know, like other, our motor, the new but like jesse, just think like man. This goes way back that we're thought in mid. Two thousand was the first time these two guys put basketball, gets each other and still going on so that that was in a cool way kind of lingering over this game. I was enjoying that one I did. How do you think the rent looks in terms of being a thirty five year old guy who they gave up? Three. First rounders and two swaps and mikael bridges and cam johnson for physical, slightly loaded question yeah. He he's looked good and certainly, as you said, the first three quarters this game looked. You know more than good enough. I think the problem is This this version of the sons felt very like James harden is heard, and cairo irving won't get the shot nets. You know defined, kevin derailed and eventually the butter add that sad about by. I think a lot of us have tried to but

him with a lotta like serviceable. Workaday role players can get you so far, but as yet you're on this one against a really good defensive team, like the lakers in the fourth quarter, negative, but the water off- and this is- I'm I'm nervous about the suns for a variety of reasons. I think if it was just the defense or just the depth or just the injury risk of their core guys, I would feel better, but it's all of the above all the time and that's going to put durant in some games like this. One is gonna, put youtube, nur kitchen positions like this one, where all of a sudden he's triggering your offense, because you don't really have a default point guard out there and sometimes the value of having a point guard your rotation. I don't think it's really going to matter when beal and booker and duran are playing together. Those guys can all handle and playmaking do everything they need to do. But in a game like this, where two of those guys are out, sometimes it helps to just be able to run some offense that doesn't have to involve Kevin durrant pounding, the rock their pickin role, yeah, twenty eight shots forehead today, thirteen including third and then thirty,

free dress, he played thirty nine minutes and was also plan. The five gap in stretches in this is game to they had are. Basically, china unlock two thousand seven texas longhorns there. seldom that's the last guy one be thrown miles on maybe entirely gather them abroad, lebron I refer- booker and be able to re like when any of these guys round. Those three whoever's laughed is gonna hafta, huge minutes, or else you get into grace and alan and drew you. Banks are playing like a massive rolling irritation and I, like those guys I like, drew you banks, maybe not like temper and lose a second round pick like drew you banks like some teamster but add these everything hey for maybe that is around back its auto steep here, the other game walking really so no harden. I would There is a way to just knew the entire hardened story of all coverage for it, anything on mine, anything on twitter, all conversations,

I want to hear it anymore and I don't think he has any interest in playing and I just think just tell us when he gets traded their best chance now that that this pursue the clippers. Last I look great and now they look great against port but they look good in their health aid, and the last thing they want to do is bring the james hearted problem of their time. Philly has no options. He's gotta come back in the next ten or twenty days, but their best in the happen. A philly this week was that the bowls of that shit yesterday and that's probably the panic team for jane pardon if the buzzer just like Jesus. What do we do? Sze are exactly: maybe we just get outta zach of money and figure it out, but I, the sixers bucks thing, the the thing that jumped out to me from the philly side is, you know and beads coming off this mvp year. Yes, he really did not have a good boston, playoff series that is

we're not a serious. He could feel good about any respect, and you see some of these other guys come back from disappointments likes even simpler, ganis and there like they just look like there. amazing, shape and incredible focus. I thought he sucked tonight really, and I did I especially in the fourth quarter, and I just thought you know he- he missed a bunch of shots in a row. The key play the game. swinging the ball around? He does that touch paddle, my cache buried. It goes much pass. I've ever seen right through the rights of the box. They get a fast break and he doesn't run back and then at the fast bright doesn't work out they throw back for three. He still has run back down and it's a five point swing and it was a lot of stuff. I tat he fell down a bunch of times and if this was not a hey ban, I know we don't have james hard and get on my back eyes feel that way at all. You know he's going against the honest to a site that, from a fairly standpoint that was pretty discouraging, because

There are other guys played really why that that was a great max again maxie. Like he's got all the bucks games, circled keziah, like thirty plus. I got a lot out of uber. Profit in harris in a contract year looks really good that some of their some of their bench guys looked ok, but he was the piece that didn't come through for them. Then the flipside box, like it's thursday, monotonous and some lopez. and then they got a little more from j crowded than I thought, but I left that game a little suspicious about them. No that's where to say what a mayor, why think miss in being on a very clear minutes limit and looking like a guy on a minute's limit, its economy in more rotation in certain ways. It I only ask the lot of not the dame cause he's going to take none more ball handling, but even your malik beasley's in your pat contents, like those guys were just having to do more than hopefully for the bucks they will ultimately have to do so. I think we'll see what's heartening about the date part of it is just like we ve never seen your play with.

Thing remotely like tat before add. That was also thirty nine points and you As I said earlier, there is a lot to work out in terms of what this office is gonna look like and how those you're gonna work together and in fairness, dns figure, out your short role game with a new teammate when Joel and beat is waiting for you in the pain. Every time. Like that's, that's news that the difficulty has been ratcheted up this period or scenario. So I am. I am conscious of that, but for any hand, wringing you would want to do about the box when it came time to decide like who was gonna closed. This game there was come clarity, as far as who that was gonna be and will. If that is because dame was having a great night or fascist kind of His role in this team is gonna be, but in terms of his place in the office, Janusz teammates, don't sore this, They just don't like they'd. They hire categorically historically have not happened two times all last season to reality games or

honesty, mates worth thirty nine or more no yon. His tea may ever has attempted seventeen free throws before her at it. So there you have seventy four seven data free for us, which is a basic and just like that kind of driving Force is something walkie hasn't had outside of europe. So the fact that you have this not only phenomenal score who's. Gonna hit him men. He had and one threes in this game yet incredible shots, but who can get to the rim and who clue it knows how to use his gravity to pass out and set up other guys. Just felt a little more in control then were useless. from crunch time, milwaukee bucks, basketball, yeah neon s is not the type of guy who's going to be gone. Hey man! I could have used a couple of touches there late like his, he seemed super happy with it. It was the perfect damn game because they were people to hide him on. On the philly side, the entire game like he was like oh cool, it's danielle, reid, I'm going to go, stand up that's their mothers, possession

I share their eyes, going be able to get away from that in terms of their support and cast I still have a lot of questions, but you know they can always add to it, maybe maybe boat champ. I dunno he could could get some real run yet can see at least was given them a little defensive intensity and I was trying to do stuff but edges. I think the maxi type players are going to kill that team. Rc one is It was. He was just forehead esteem, nobody gang caused them, and I I do think if embedded at a better game in a couple of plays have gone their way. I mean there is at I e. There is as a just a of terrible referee moments in whose first three days not ideas? It still feels like the procedure for the rest, but yeah, destroying that airbus to himself would like minutes left clearly an air ball like it was like. Oh, I wonder if that hit the rim or scraped the backwards. I know he just threw it over the rim caught it at the two. The sixers stopped the whole sixers bench is jumping up.

And then they were. They couldn't review that basically nullified. The three I think right are. They know how to do that. generally, with only a few hours I followed, I made looked, I think, that's a violation. The place stops, but somehow everybody missed it and that's or nets bigger will that's why you're tripping up wasn't a violation. This is a revolutionary new act, a basketball, and I know why you're turning your nose out of her someone pushing gavel of forward air airborne rebounded a hub yet so, if you're feeling, On the one hand you are incurred, said the other an year in day to the James hearted hostage crisis and god only knows how that's going to play out and it's this thing you're going to have to deal with all the time- and you know you're still on the clock with and beat not great I really really enjoyed the damian his part, though I just as a basketball fan. It was really fun to watch and I was thinking I didn't really love watching the bucks the last couple of years, because

We had spent a lot of time with the honest, so I knew all his stuff, but in terms of like league, pass regular season stuff, I never felt like they were really must watched them like. Oh, I know that seem obvious watch them when they get to the playoffs. I don't need to necessarily put my bucks time. but now I'm in oh, I feel like I'm gonna watch more than this year, because their crunch time stuff is going to be more fun right. Is that fair? I think it's totally fair hours when you, when I think about lee pastimes too, I'm thinking which too his reward repeat doing ray, which the aims that, over the course of the season, you're going more and more fun with the more you see them and Okey was always been a. We play the way we play a kind of team de I speaking, they have their system, they stay to. It meant we gave one but walkie bucks, doubling joel, indeed aggressively, like boot. Noses box are a long way in the rearview mirror. At this point, I think, just in the perspective of we're going to seek a what adrian Griffin has in store for them

pow they're gonna, defend on a daily basis, what kind of different things they might do. In addition to the day jan wrinkles, like there's, there's gonna, be a rewatch about quality, now, that's a little more interesting than its bed, but I don't want it and I want to be down on philly lay. I I think it's interesting that they're doing this kind of decentralized offence and there clearly trying to its the kind of thing you can do. only do after Joel wins the m vp right he's gotten acknowledgement dominant play we all understand what he can do. They been very vocal in key, about trying to move the bomb or trying to get to buy. His hair is involved as a ball hitler. Clearly, man he's gonna be huge priority. He had thirty one is he's gonna torch the box in times like the bucks all season, I thought he could have done more in this game. I thought he could add a forty agree with you. He probably could have had a like a good odor or a good look at us three, almost whenever he wanted, based on the match. Ups, so I'm

and seeing how that bears out, because I did obviously there bouncing there often for guys scoring twenty plus is indicative of that. But there was a lot of rhythm to what they were doing. It didn't feel clean. It didn't feel proud it just feel comfortable for them yet, and so I want to see if this is the group, they have of the independent up to sit on james harden for a while, and they don't get whatever the return for him the b for months now until months from now a coward gonna settle into the rhythm of this office. What what will this ultimately be of? This is the collection of guys are ultimately gonna go to war with four for the majority of the season. I think for the past purposes, they might accents please be more interesting than last year, because hard in a bid to man game stuff. That many times can you watch it you down. It was granted day. Let's take a break, I want to talk about some of the stuff from last there are come up and see jumped out some scholarly, the Senate

So I was on a lot of text. Threads last night, there in that subjects. Thanks came another game that adds bad caused that I will fully admit, benefited nothing, but that there was a Kalen brown support, so that game, though I started getting tax about and just in general was kids. and into me watching it, where you have a guy, who average almost twenty one shots again last year now you watching the team this year an especial

the got to the fourth quarter and by the way, and no shot attempts in the fourth quarter there. They were just better options. All the time then jail in brown. For the celtic synaptic your game. I was happy when either guard had the ball tatum, obviously, and in this sense, for four freak posing as for as long as he stays healthy, like awesome. If, if I. It was weird because I had the same reaction watching I'm like you know what I'm gonna, suppress that as a celtics fan and that could be cynical and then started getting texts about as like ooh Jalen. It's going to be happy scene of it's a year fringe of four million bucks is the third option, maybe the fourth auction houses, gonna platt this is one game. He might be off somebody to say he might be awesome and fry today, but it was a support. I wasn't expecting the

is jalen brown going to be happy this year on this team. If his shots go down. Doc. Rivers mentioned this. On my podcast on tuesday. He thought this was the subplot to watch when he said it I was like nah it'll, be fine, and then I watch that next game, I'm like. Oh, what is this going to be so I dunno it's it's a tbd, but I wanted your take. I think it's one of the things at first by yes, it is game one. I know the other body language doktor is always in, but I was one of the latin language doctors. Three sixty five year rub I get it, but I think your licence can be revoked if you actually early on these things, so we might have the bottle it for a little. While I think it's going to pay whether this is a pattern right, if every time they get into crunch time situations jailing, brown turns into the guy in the corner. I'm sure he's gonna feel so, way about that, I think any player of his caliber would yeah. So just like it's gonna be

and on who is starting on a day to day basis. No, the celtic your time, but maybe they can can a share those responsibilities from time to time. In terms of who comes off the bench jason, he would have only during. What's it ate the top six guy, they had a meeting in trying to figure it out and say it is never your mozilla nation. Let's do it s never too early for tee meetings. The chicago bulls, also, the earliest players only meeting on record it's a big day for meetings, so I hope they were on productive. I hope they all we know where substantive than an email, certainly for the celtics, I like where they are to start how these things, ultimately, at the lynwood jail and brown extremely hard to say, but I think it's going to depend on they're going to have to pick nights in the regular season, certainly where they openly kind of clear out for him in those spots right right. That's that so much what regular she's in basketballs about its not just trouble shooting for the play us forget. Your rotation, like the nights were changes actively have to set out their second and third guy and say

given you this one like show out. You can delay in the wizards threat. Here you got twenty five shottsford there buddy, you know and there's nothin with that, I think the only question is like it will. He be content if that's kind of what his place in things is, if ultimately, they do get to the gains, the matter in the play or like the big marquis, nationally televise games against the six years of the box or whoever he I'm if he is kind of in the background of those games, that's that can be a very tough thing to deal with for a player position? While we have this right in a game with them in miami which, I think is. probably the number one robbery right now right menu sailor. I guess lobby An inquiry any time they play that feels like it means the most conducive to best, whereas this generation, but I would say, for teams for history fur My aim is chip on the shoulder ness yeah. My aim is in

rare form already they won their typical one point game for that cup. They came out of the other team missing late and they went through the free throbs they made all their free throws. It was just a classic. it was heat when they'll have another. Forty of those and and they'll play boston, marinade Boston's feel good later porzingis fever, it's funny peut. Some people didn't see the preseason and didn't see. If you watched the preseason the open threes of a seven foot, four guy, who is almost like a free throw for him so to watch that I think of that next game. I think some people are like. Oh my god, Porzingis said yeah. The question is: can he stay on the court but matching them up in miami that poison gas peace were mammy, doesn't really have any size and my muse is able to. Are you not just throttle there? Half corridor offence only is gonna happen this year, but

you know, they'll lose some other stuff or what aim is to name his last words in the heat celtics matchup, so I I wish I wish you and them the best in that regard, but the heat have, If throttling a lot of really, therefore, out of their relations, they heard the arthur idlers, we'll see I'm sure that I'm sure miami they read everything. I've heard everything amazon people know the crown of Boston anyway, I of the jail, odd thing, marked zion, still looks a little heavy to me, but eventually looks really good last night, and I thought it was incurred right, where you encouraged. Definitely Emily encouraging that here challenging during jackson, junior in the air right, it's not jazz bully. The ground nuts him out your way and try to finish the lamps, but he's going up in those situations. Those are really encouraging signs you know as usual. My concerns design are much more like a sea ever gonna guard any body. Does he have a defensive position? What are they,

do with all that. I'm more concerned about that stuff offensively, you just see so efficient, he so good at getting to his since I took it at finishing around people should be able to finish around. I feel pretty confident about him being of of julie, impact forth and supplier I just I really wonder about the other side you and I was and barrier you guys did great previous for us that I think are still going. dates from our longer than usual You had a horizontal conversation in just about like what position is he? Ultimately? If, if your team is a fifty five when team, and could he be like a stretch. Five well, yeah we're not. Where do you put him whose the right person put next to him? He really is. This. Are the nightmare trapped in a riddle? It's like a college basketball team

is adding the best football player and be like hey. This guy is good, we'll just figure it out, but this is like your. What is it four or five for him? Your five god? Is it really your app tit know? Maybe it's your four aa or your five one of us, but we're still trying to figure out what this is yeah and what kind of team should be put with this person. Does he need a point guard? Does he need a rim protector? Next to him, I dunno I'd say that he's going to be thirty and we're still gonna be figuring. It out they're the anomalies that come into the league and we feel very dumb forever. Second guessing where they would fit. You know like draymond comes in it's like is yeah. Three is your four: how does like? What is he supposed to do? It's like? Oh obviously, he's one of the defining small ball, there's of his generation like right clearly that we worked out and then the anomalies that just like it, never really is apparent where they should be or what they should do or how they should play like. They always have some kind the very specific deficit in their game that makes it hard to slot them in

you know, if you have one of a kind players sometimes used to fund other one of a kind players to play with them and I can be a very challenging process for a team in the pelicans positioning. They have a ton of talent. They have a lot depths. The special rather guys are healthy. Another there dealing with them in short handing issues right now, but ultimately hard to even consider like conceptually think who is the best place to put next desire. What does that player? Look like? How do you get them all every step in that process? His heart They had spread and anger about, say that much another guy, another unicorn, a guy, the alternating current member yama, who are saying the league didn't get the member in time to the rafts. Please don't put him in fact trouble there in this first game. People just want to watch him. I think easier to fit around because he can play off the ball bali play with the ball. He could play for play five. He can protect the ram, he could just be in the middle like how the something she's poison gas are. He got me in the corner and jump out

a boy am style. Is it I think about, passer than any of us were prepared for from that from the weird french highlights in the week like that, but is drug, says I It's just that he's just further ahead that I was expecting and I think what I wasn't really fully expecting was how much I'm gonna be watching the share cause. It's one of those like add the three tv's going. If he's on one of the tv's, I can't really focus on anything else. When he's in, like I really can it's like having like one of your kids in a soccer game or something like you're, just kinda transfixed by it, did you feel that way? I mean, especially if you have that kind of multi screen experience. There are things we I know you're, looking down your you're checking your phone you're, you know you're on your computer or whatever and you'll just kind of casually look up and the May he contests a three pointer it promote,

a way to lose the most exciting three point could test or ever incredibly so insight to soar, its legitimately disorienting. What's it I'm seeing a movement on my screen, I'm just not used to see my leah a balloon. of arm going to the shot. It's like hasn't art yet, but is very much in mid air. If you see here must block the cairo three at the end of the game last night, he missed it by like a fingernail, absolutely insane, but I can. Can you boy, carry for god for it, like you, gotta take that shot. If you get that opportunity of that would have been an incredible moment, but the summer I was looking ahead for this weekend Who were the teams that I need to check in with early? They really want to see rocket spurs, I think, is appointed. Doing for me this weekend, the gonna be labelled as I really want to see what he looks like a necessity. them out yet and victor, especially against young. and especially its other young big, like I just want to see those bad I will see how these guys trundling comprehend everything he can do and figure out ways around him is get can be such an interesting kind. Mental exercise all seas along

for that the most clever, the most skilled, bigger than the league, to just what to do with him yeah you can. How they're they're amused by unlike away like. Oh my god, I just can't believe this persons is one of the things the league is so deep waking. think. Like this friday night, the heat celtics we mentioned when these playin, the rackets, yo, nix, hawks tray young versus the next nuggets grizzlies grizzlies already and like a little bit of a dangers out. I want to talk about them in a second, and then a warriors kings, which was an awesome plasters, does just five of them Yeah morrow night, we'll go under game to where they thunder calves will yet under calves. I need to see me funder. I got a text out of the blue the other day from Kyle man. Did you said jail and Williams is swore, so I need to get to the bottom of that situation and figure out what's goin out that there is sun, while as the burma with them in the first game, I have thunder bets all over the place

I am very invested in them for rider reasons and the Wallis peace coming up the bench there's there's some energy from their birth. that is pretty unusual when you watch the other teams were like that. This is a team can actually gonna run with their badge which had bought stood out. I am annoyed, considerably in not the case a case on walls. Experience like yeah, just something about the way that guy plays the tenacity, and you know I'm sure the shy will come and go, but the flashes when it's been hitting the just so impressive

it's a sucker for like a dogged perimeter defender to be honest with you and if you have any semblance of an offensive game. Sign me up signed me up for the the case on wall season pass. That team is a bitch to play like they're just like that is that you had that game in your schedule, like oh fuck, these guys couple other quick things and, oh will say: memphis really quick, like they're just too they're just too small, and it's a lot of bain and they're going to get the marcus smart experience of black, though I got this marcus smart, of everything where I actually think they could tell spinner were a bit in these twenty five gains without job now, no Adams and you'll have the and I'm game and triple jag. It's in the foul trouble has three thousand first four minutes and the ragged aim that them away the other one out of every very gave zero. I could see a start for them where they start out like five and ten or somethin were like, oh, my god, where the grizzly

and I wonder, like they ve- been a pretty patient team for the most part. Now I dont know if they can be patient this year, They want to be in position when John comes back as the west is to get so. Do you agree leg? Probably they need to make a move in next couple of weeks, like especially at portland, looks as bad as they looked last night. Rob Lanza is sitting there'd be grabbed. Vernon has been calling for that for a week. Somebody like that right, I think, especially the the Adams injury puts them behind that particular eight ball, and it makes the wool like a williams, trade or a trade for another big, just make all the sense in the world. If you can jump on one of those guys right now, they're a tough team to understand at this juncture- because historically store they done pretty well. thou jaw, especially two seasons ago. They did yeah well when he was out for an extended period of time, wonder how much of that is just like grisly dna, anything they can replicate and how much of it was that in time that collection of players ties It was on the team anymore, just being like a rock solid backup option who you're sorry,

in verses, adapting the mark, a smart like the ups and downs living with market smart on an everyday basis, just a very different thing: you're gonna have to do a lot, and you would hope that during jackson, conflicts out his office, a game I'll bet you it's just a little more match dependent for him and are we as it when those nights aren't like windows matches our The cards I dont know where else they turn other than bain, forcing a lot action smart, taking basic. Whatever he wants out of some of those possessions. A lot of offense is going to dry up for them. So I agree it's like. If it was just jaw I would feel better, but that it's jaw and the front court depth with Adams and Brandon Clarke out. it's just a lot to compensate for it's a lot to put on desmond baynes plate. Even though he's he's one of the one of the best young scores in the league like a really impressive, layer, who's, gonna grow, but ass. A lot Ass rebounded, to which they can't be happy about either yeah. I think that team. That's definitely a watch. The first two weeks would that same kazakh ago, sideways

washed in portland were the only two teams that stood out over the first couple days is bad. I don't know, if we have any other bad teams, I think washington and portland have a chance to be bad. A team that I was hoping would be good and I picked and made the playoffs, and I feel like I, it was the red instinct- is toronto, young new ouch. They flipped out badly brought insurers. Having assured sites with that with the world championships, The lakers run last year I just a vibe at that time, I want to see them again a maximum sailing out I've. One game that claims goodwin forty five games, but there is energy than that did not have last year, and I think It was alarmed about them last year and the year before was it was like what is this team? Does it seem like they like each other? so do you notice that are now the vibes were so horrendously

see and that even just seeing a team like celebrating each other like being being a little more into it on a collective basis. I think is pretty heartening, but it's like individual defensive effort from guys like Seok and barnes like that stuff, I think, means a lot like. Those are two guys who can be very good defenders. Could be an excellent defender. Bargaining is still learning, but has all the tools to be one of singing Guys, like engaged and plugged in on a moral, standard regular basis does mean alive. and shrewder plugging in damn it. I didn't really miss a beat as far as I am that kind of play making worked really well for them. As you said, I was honestly really impressed with who he turned out to be for the lakers, not often slowly but chasing defensively there's something I did a shorter again historically is not always done nato, another guy who when everything when his head is screwed all right when the environment is right to be a very impacts player, and I think have maybe a couple to me

if those guys stacked on top of each other, to feel like they're going to be an excellent team? But if the energy is good in terms of how that group works together, I think they're gonna be pretty formidable I like them, and they beat a minnesota team that I thought I watched probably the last I watch last eighteen minutes and again and about miss out. It was actually play hard and you know it though the towns go bear thing. I have that kind of check mark I wanna keep watch it still doesn't. Look right to me. Tat made the biggest mistake in the game couple more quick things then we'll go simmons doesn't want to shoot, still and that's just where we are, and he can't play in the last four minutes of the game he put up stats, ids rebounds hits passes, he pushed the ball, but ultimately I just don't think that's a guy that can be out there in the last five minutes of the game. What did you think now might be? Okay. Rarely, ultimately, I think you are

gonna want the ball more, so with Mikael bridges, even more so with spencer dinwiddie in some situations, just in terms like who is willing to take that shot, who's going to step up into those moments, I'm fine with slow playing. Then simmons wrote you onwards, in guy Ben simmons our rotation guy Ben you're, not looking for allenby a Ben simmons anymore, the guy's gone I if that ship hasn't sailed, it's getting ready, leave. Harbour is imminently the curse at the crews telling everybody minutes they took out the ropes off the dock. So enough, honestly, genuinely I'm cool that, like a guy who accelerates pace, we'll get him play make early. The next dont have a lot of high level passing on thy roster and that's why they get a little stodgy. Sometimes if, if he's even able to help connects them dots, I think that's a healthy thing for them now, let's just let's just keep expectations extremely oh and see if you see if he can met out as being a useful guy for them thought charlotte let the little better than I was expecting they're, not deep, but I bet they're fine

paid work together and watched them kid, kids back. That was good. Those bonus he's on my honest hit list for the weekend. I guy I gotta say it again: jabbing it's miami, then the last one. For me thy. You know Dallas espied, san Antonio. In its honour, their over under was twenty seven half whence I don't fuck very suffer party. Could you barely be dispersed right? I thought lively, look, really good and the game, and I don't know how real it was. But the thing I really liked was how hard he played he really gave a shit and now as the feedback about increasing added love. The pic I didn't like that there are counting on a rookie center, but about aegis, but he d played like a hundred and twenty percent without fanaticism and compared to what they were getting from that position couple years I was like I, this is notable. I wanna keep an eye on this because they may be. They do have some fear. I never will.

If the mavs are like this, oh this guy's going to be amazing, like that they burned us too many times, but I liked what I saw that would you think I think he profiles is exactly the kind of player you want with LUCA and I think the quality when I think about who fits with LUCA there's a lot of skill sets that makes sense. You know white powell has eaten well. For years now we have based off rolling off of lucca, like that those kinds of things make sense with lively. It's the same thing, the Josh green is sending us in timor to a junior to beyond, which is like who were the self starters, the core, the guys, you energy, why, as our summoning it just cause like they just have those bursts where they can make really hard place, but go together. Son like that that put- dunk that lively had against the spurs that is unexceptional like ninety seven percent tyler let us assume play it has. Also again, december, that look alike presentable. Energy play right

I would say, ninety seven percent fearless to like that. Those are one of those like. I may crack my head open when I land type of dunks, one hundred per cent into the come out of. Basically in the uninvolved in the primary action that led to the shot and make that kind of effort on the glass. That's what I'm excited about for Derek Levitt like that's, where I see him being an increase, will benefit to the match, because the reality is playing with luke and kyrie. There's going to be possessions where you don't touch the ball, there's gonna be possessions where they don't even really look at you re, like you, were there to occupy space in defenders, and you have to draw it from within yourself to find a way to be involved. and that he can already do that this quickly, I think, is a great site. They play that now son friday night and then they don't know about their next, came as by dead schedule. might lead up where they might have a good like first ten days and people start feeling good in it We will be like you know what I gotta do something stupid here, my thoughts on something Would it be weighing the manner of the take up of what may be, but we got some prime

events for carried away and carries like he's, got a dope bat out. I wonder if the world these bad thoughts on this. That said, I think we had ever write anything some good rounds. I mean a lot of good basketball yet to watch a lot of teams. I still need to see for the first time, so I'm I'm, I'm really excited for this first and kind of level out, spread the wealth. A little bit kitten beast only pastime and a chance to see this is this. Is I mean one of my favorite part of the sporting calendar? It's always a great first couple weeks. I also think we used to override it some years when the talent was really there room, all my god, it's so great basque buzz back this year, like a egg honestly legs, I would say: seventy five, teams. I actually want to watch. Just pretty rare, I would say the list of teams I don't want to see is like probably lesson six, I mean I'm good with the boss. I dont like symbols anymore, I'm good with the wizards portland,

I might chicken in like february when they figure out stuff, but you know that, for the most part that lies seems aren't schiphol for me. One nice thing about the wizards yeah: I jordan pool was a good citizen of the offence in his first game. I, like running the way I was expecting the full gunnar expire, and from him and he inclusion of both to beyond I thought, were pretty patient like trying to get guys involved, trying to run like some semblance of an actual thing and it didn't work out super well because they gave up one hundred and forty three points, but I I appreciate the effort is on. How can they go right behind? So we expanded group chat to our two times a week. Young, yes like right around, like maybe after, like there are some early game, get where the warm up act for your sunday show. So you do your doors at three p m. Come for us and then check our bill later. We did were basketball set days or something

what an absolute so sundays and wednesdays on our ringer mba, and then you know you might make some prestige tv appearances time times to. Ah thanks for staying up late with mega Yeah thanks bill. I Peter schrager, is here you can watch among good morning football, and you can see him on fox on sundays as well. Going head to head against the best show on t ringer wise guys. I who, for everybody shags, I don't. I don't pick favorites except for a love it ringer. Shall I picked up but other than that, I don't pick favorites, but you know my you know my affection fur for house fur j J for you, I I wish I could watch it up sitting. There trying to do it well. Among onset talking to Charles woodson in his holiday jack and I wanna hear what J J got on the jets.

I have you on one of the other tvs second see your friend. They face popping up there and its wonderful stuff we have allowed to cover, including yours, celebrity jeopardy appearance I wanted. But here it's week, eight- and I don't know who the favorite in the nfl is- and I was looking at the fan- do ads and I don't remember everything- be over four to one for other teams. That might have happened before, but I just don't personally have a recollection of that. Casey is the favorite at plus four fifty and san Francisco's there, but like. Why don't we have a favor? Yet is it injuries? Is it just to the league is deeper? What is it I? He? I have the thoughts and it's not like I'm giving you a thesis statement are dissertation. But if I can provide a couple thoughts, I think it a lead good conversation. The first is all of the really good teams have lost. In prime time or big national games. When everyone was watching- and I think that takes a little bit of the lustre

of these teams and makes the odd legacy we're losses at one o clock. It may be different, but we watch casey loose to detroit syrup. not invincible, then than they played denver on a thursday night and the offense didn't click so you're like casey. I don't feel the same way about Kc, but everyone those two games. Philadelphia goes up. The us a jet in the most watched fox game of the year, which was that window and everyone watched Jalen hurts stir three interceptions with twenty eight million people watching in the second half so yeah. What the bills have now lost jets without area under rule. Sixty one senses goes five to one cases plus four: fifty ok, canada, the bills of lost, the jets without aaron rodgers and then look terrible against the job in a sunday night primetime game in and they to london, where everyone did wake up and watch that morning, game they can get out of bed and beat jaguars and the last one is the niners you go into this thing it's like a right. We ve been watching that honours when by twenty every single game they get on prime time against the vikings and they lose. So I think that's the baby. There

the betting side in the external media. Aside from a football standpoint, boy, I dont know if the footballs ever been more just heads, aging and a lot of ways. I think it might be a quarterback thing and I think about buffalo cincinnati. Listen, the teams, your case c. Alice, I put in miami in philadelphia and I'd say those teams are set at quarterback right, other than that either have bridge quarterbacks. You have cleaning, quarterbacks river rookie quarterback, Party with San francisco is the one that's like an outlier, but I I think that you're looking at this quarterback thing, it's like okay, if you have a set quarterback that we know is good when you're the other and that's only like a handful of teams. That means as a bunch of gobbledygook in the middle and you could say or cousins, I'm talkin about the guys, the guys you talk about the end of that those teams or pick each other off. It's a quarter. Acting in there's so much turnover year to year and offensive systems and the way you want to do things that I honestly,

the quality of play at the quarterback position as much as we did a netflix series this summer. We talk about these young talent, guys up and coming. I remember and up, and you can pick out twelve to fourteen quarterbacks that were like the same guys for eight years on a team of like those are just the guys. Did you So when I was growing up here and migratory on my mind, originally like, you're out your kid now, I've a seven year old son. I like this Turning to like? A? U broaching toward me, wage medium I ran up and up, like you, said your hard limited by Jim ever Chris Miller and then nfc west. I really need to hear about these short as between Bobby a barren Joe Montana, but you I dunno that I, like your theory, though, because I was trying to do my powerful first. My cut believed that I'd dallas at seven you have to I dont like ours, but I had so. The favorites are fairly casey. Baltimore

san francisco, but I do know who the actual favorite is. Are they usually put somebody in that's an that spot and I went with philadelphia because I I think I trust their infrastructure the most with their offensive in defence of wines, and they have a couple play makers and they have the tush push and liked about this man he's been in a coma for five weeks. if you add him on your fantasy team, you're like just completely panicking, but I still think he's a good football player. I am sure they're going to get a dog one of the weeks are getting got her going on throws labour on the bar there still adding add a from the from tennessee. They stole them for nothing. So I think I trust them from a talent standpoint and from all I think it could go sideways in the least possible ways: casey baltimore senses gone that can and transport yet I want to see the marmalade three straight out. The months I shouldn't,

baltimore more in the in the quarterback conversation? By the way, if I was a double back, I don't think I had enlisted because it's doing it free new year, but to your point they you know they went london and they beat tennessee but ass. They did it with six feel goals like yeah, it's enough What will watch again so as much as the one o clock fox game where they crushed a toy? Is iran buzzing Now I always numbers of them a week before I said that that makes it hard to get their favorite and you're a prisoner. The moment, which is what was today we are in the media while especially as the season is one third of a year. Long now- and I do wonder of the length of the season ties into this, because every game camp- big game when the season is eighteen weeks and in the buy and you're gonna. down. You're gonna go up, you're gonna go down. I have detroit, it's at number, five, last week was was a real humbling experience.

It was then they were out of it immediately and they got their asses kicked. But I'm ok with that. I don't think that's a team! That's built to play from fourteen points down. Okay, I'm and I just think they got their asses kicked I also think the running game situation with them was that ideal in as a bad weak there banged up state they caught baltimore and the wrong weak. With, though, with the wrong kind of team situation, I still had the fifth I have jacksonville sex, which I can't believe, because I actually think that this to pittsburgh this week, with seven I have miami eight baltimore, nine at it. Miami's had so many injuries. Now I'm starting to wonder if it's going to hit the in return, they get their asses work by fully last week, buffaloes loss to many people and then Michael Myers stares at ten, our team our team or in the future there once again, underdogs against jacksonville the sweet most of the monies and jacksonville at. Ah, I just watch by his cause, biased guys

they all three of them were like love Jacksonville, oh my god, our family play and I how many times do we have to watch it with them? thirty five untoward four days, you know pit Bela fifty six minutes into the game, you're banging ahead against the war than you look with the final score and they won by three and how to do that again it it's not the just ass. I learned it sounded obedience had sat the other heading. I wonder. Is it the other thing about like the league wife's effort? I was talking about the quarterback possessed. but the new sea ba put in a lot of rules, and I know this is like. Maybe lombardy can governor on this or if you have on someone who's coach. back into the nineties if the linemen and defensive lyman they do not do like one of ones in practice anymore. often of linemen, come in and by and large they're, not great anymore, and you come in coming from college and a lot of these college offensive lines and my men are taught bullshit and you gotta on

Why are their mind on how they played offensive line in college football and then teach them how to play nfl? And you can't do it in practice because can't do want to? I can't do it in training camp, but then week three, you need this guy to start at right tackle and he hasn't ever played in another fell game. I think that such matters- it's not sexy, not as easy as saying the rest suck, but it is something that you It's a blind play as atrocious right now and the defenses are dominating and every which way at the line of scrimmage the people that love college football was talking about how there's this That way. Allotted is called for by offences play or its just like shot guns that further bog quickly. They kind of learn how to block one way and that's it, and then they get to the nfl and they have no idea what they're doing they. You know one other piece: I dunno how major this. But instead they not nothing. They clearly changed the concussion policy. This year their land and if you get a concussion surroundings and actually uses are brought purty gotta concussion monday, within the railway, maybe you're out and it does

like its clearing out two guys per week on now in games so to be one each one on each team to on one thing whatever, but it I've noticed more than usual that guy's or just scratched. You know, I think, The league responded to people crying on air and in tweeting, non stop, went to a went down and was still in the game, and I think if it's an over correction, it's because they're playing it safe, but I'll give you an example: the jets right before the game. Last week, it's it's like alright sauce gardeners. Still in the concussion protocol Well then had a by weak and our coming out of the by weak, and I dont know I can give you the measure of his garden, like its thirty recording this. Both he and dj read the starting corners, thereby there still is in there. russian protocol and still has not been cleared to play it being very safe about that. But that's your best offensive player. That's huge right! In the old days he saw us get back out there, yeah how's, your head feel. Okay. You know the earth they would the league- and this usually

and when we get to the teens, but I had just my rankings clean and eleven, even though they have no quarterback seattle cincinnati think there could go either way. I would, I would look at since you scared, I'm pretty worried about them being able to turn round, because every week they're playing a banger seattle's same thing. They have some tough games coming up that got San Francisco twice in three weeks and then you have used in the rams at fourteen fifteen and at land at sixteen, It drops for me at least tamper jets, minnesota, seventeen eighteen nineteen. Then he had to the charges at twenty m crossing them off just listing all those and then look at the schedules and stuff. It's really said nicely for houston, too he either a possible contender in their division or maybe like a sneaky seven seed, because the agency was an escape. Their schedule is abominable, so

when you like. Do you believe it? I know you'd that you love to make arrangements to suggest trout not the love. Is it far fetched to think that that's him could went and games real yeah? We spoke to come away I was like- I'm- not buying it yet- and then they went out and beat pittsburgh, and then they will have a tough one against the saints were like it was back and forth in their defense stepped up in the red zone. And of course we could blame Derek carr for that. But it was the defense that played well listen bill. I in today's nfl win. The fourteen teams make the playoffs and schedules can go a million ways. Of course they can win ten games if they win seven games the rest of the way there are already three and three they've had their bye week and they're only going to get better with a rookie quarterback who's gonna develop into up into you know whatever he wants to be this rookie year, he's going to be better this week than he was as first week, but I can't in good faith like looking like their roster, that there are any better than some of those other fc team to better meet our eyes. Yes

illegal ryan's going to coach circles around John Harbaugh on a big game, or is he going to be able to is bobby slower, going to be able to outwit vic vic fangio, like I'm just given up different amc teams? It's weeks it's week, eight we could say yeah this teams, the team, but that would temper after they went by and they ve lost two terrible game sense. So I want to begin. I was still crowning Houston as much as I love. What that team is doing. Can I give you their schedule? Let's go at carolina this week, Tampa home at city, arizona jack's about then were all in a row at home at the jets at tennessee who made at that point of completely pact at it. They don't really have a hard game over the next day that, except for adsense, and who with the black seville, warm saying that that that at least is home,

Ok I'll be right, they won't be favoured at home again jack's, and they won't be favouring that. Since again, maybe they won't be favoured the jets game. But you know there are scheduled team for me and the other scheduled team for me is the falcons who I will I've watched a lot of their games this year and somehow that action on a bunch and boy are they a rollercoaster for that? Arthur Smith also wears it on his face very well. The exact things at every fan. His look of despair is just so many more things right at tennessee. This week seems like, their minus two and a half that things. Could you do that you will lose your fantasies pack it in a minute? at arizona by home the world's at the jets home tat by act carolina home in the edge cargo at new worlds, like they're, not play anybody for ten for ten weeks. So we see this two words that you just we looked at last year with the vikings

what the fuck that went? Thirteen games- I don't of the fao, its habit in them and ridder again, it's just strap at our man put not only to seek out but the shoulder harness would betting on him, but Did you have a lot of talent? I think they're big, pretty good? They are defensive, with I, guy ryan nelson's, got those guys playing at ridder to me it doesn't doesn't. Do I didn't do much? I don't know what they see in that like they were there so steadfastly he's their guy, and I talked to arthur a lot like they have. The full support of the hyena give the back up like a thing or two, when games like given a charade, but therein on ridder yeah. It's like falcons texans like that. Those do feel like this. Be very easy: the seventh wildcard team in the nfc and sea and their electorate, and then they go and they get their whatever happens, while around the next year, the hype teams, because there yet and there on the move and they made the play off that sure. But I very he's a realization. Let me give you the placards. Ok, Libya atlanta make the plants in atlanta there when the division first law

as minus one, seventy eight to make the playoffs almost two to one odds, are you'd, have the lay for them to make the plant so they're, just like slightly favoured summit they're, like legitimately fair. Really, I am am surprised. Ok, it's like they ve been playing dominate football by. I think it's getting related and then the revision, not only are they the favourite even adds that five large box, when five hundred bet, one hundred one one hundred bet ten went in a vega says: looked at the numbers, then they have looked at. I looked at the schedule and, and they have all collectively, all the sports books. Everybody has decided like this. a really prohibitive favorites with asia. Basically, there first place and we gate and that's our pick, ok and then what about Houston so used in plus one before the main players that seems a little more normal and then plus four fifty four, the revision yeah

I ain't iraq over could be a runaway train right now, jacksonville in another plan, pittsburgh and it's gonna be like jackals gonna, throw cushion another go in here. He it's over under four winds is eight. The half which I think before the season was probably for after that. That might be the biggest jumped the women but again like their next day. I could see I'm two arguments See him when, in coach of the year to make out, I could see straddling offence a rookie year, and then I could see Caserta who had to walk through the years of mud and shit to get to this point. He might be executive of the year because it's it's an interesting They do have some like robert woods makes place for them. Like veteran guys that are out there doing it. Like shaquille griffin is like one of their good corner. That's the guy she's been on a couple to himself. They ve got a nice mixing We see the young guys, but some of these older veterans come in and offered some better presence, which is cool too so jack, suppose that seven,

then again their heavy favorites there. You know, I think they're like minus five. Fifty four, the division, but their next have never sneaky pittsburgh game together by san fran, home tennessee at Houston home, since he act Cleveland baltimore there's some good vivacity right past russia's in there you now have run homage. Did it see you know they had their left tackle back They look better the last couple weeks and and they played pretty well in that same game, but asked about the saints were horrible and they had lost their games. If you really think about it to london games which the lenin games just shake the snow globe I know what the fuck is going to happen like buffalo goes there and basically their whole season flips, and then they have a thursday night gaming. It's the saints thursday nights are like you notice anything can happen. If the bare scoring forty points on thursday now we're like our jacksonville, therefore real. I had them six that my parents, things we

and seeing them play a normal sunday game in four weeks ago in to pittsburgh. yellow towels crowd, having you know their field goal kicker or miss a field goal in the sticks, renegade blast, the fourth quarter. What I'll do something? Oh, my god, what oh, he tipped a pass to himself and got an interception, then all of a sudden like this can be a hard game for them The one thing that I notice with them- and I have them at all my fantasy teams, so it's that's not notice, but etienne has an excellent. I would say that maybe, like a top five runny background, he has to touchdowns are thinking back to back games he's a magic is a first step, pick for a reason. It just takes a little time. Who's injured the first year and last year he just kind of like a split, carries, he's really electric and again buried in that market. Two games wait at nine thirty. I am recently in others. They night game, not everyone.

Watching the jaguars and they're all already behind the eight ball, because they're the jacksonville jaguars in that media market, but etihad has been fantastic for them and so has the receiving corps. I think christian. been great, really has been great and travellers has working a little bit after the game. It was like tell the next thing about the analysts like he was up to alright cool like a little swagger is good out of that team, so yeah they're, good, they're, good congrats, you barrel, be buffalo when they lost three guys there in the game and in just one in a london. Today's I don't, I don't think the bills of in the same since not mulatto went down or that floor man, I'm telling you. I think that was the moment for the bills that changed everything I think most underrated defender in the league and my journey to yeah anti white worried about Let's take a break. A couple more teens I wanted to hit. I think that consensus is since he's fine boroughs better will be hearing from them: copper red flag.

over under I've found. All right now is eight and a half whence there three and three so that makes me will suspend It's like. Why is there a under nine and a half? There's been some action. You look at their next six at san francisco this week, buffalo home Houston home at baltimore, home pittsburgh at jacksonville may be six playoff teams in a row pretty good and ah from what we ve seen from since he. I trust I personally trust them a little more than most as we watch them last year. They got better as the year went along. You have an excellent defensive cordon. Their town on both sides of the bar as borough gets healthier. he's just gonna win games by himself, but the line this week as well and a move down a little bit. It didn't move that as much as that that we had saved darnel damas. Definitely you being for the forty nine hours and kind of

must win game for the bengals in some degree, because if they got three and four within their playing five straight fc teams, after that, all them are potential playoff teams and I dunno they just got shot twenty first, the away twenty third offence. Thanking defense. We just had not in a loud, assigns signs. Yet I know you buttered that seem pretty closely what is he's, I believe in them. I think there is a I spoke to luella roma, whose their defence, a coordinator in stockholm like other defence, actually been leading the way, the last few weeks in their offices, which usually is its burrow and chasing begins and boyden iran followers, the defence hold. Your own defence has been really good, and so If you have all these young guys, they lost jesse bates they in the last couple of years, they've lost eli, apple and Vonn bell, and all these guys in the back and they've got all these young ones. Cam taylor brett, who shut down DK metcalf yeah this other kid. a mission has been good to have you with us. We have something at the yankees, used to say alright. Here we go baseball when we got these like we have a core four on our defense,

It hasn't changed its course in more detail, dj reader sam hubbard, in tray, hendricks it and in the last few years, those guys they don't miss games. They always show up in there, though some kind of lead the way. And then you ve got your a sigh and germane pragmatists. I could do it ever naming names, but the core forum, like oh shit, so off head. I was like The conversation that make me try this alike we got Mariano got cheater we got am I could make up had it do you know who the fourth of the cor for was bill was burning waves. I thought so too Jorge Persano is posada. I like like ours like asakusa cafe, We dated all their bernie was there in Reimer right brain regarding their wits and pat carriers, early nineties yankees. If you want I'm here for that some form of it. so who's. I eat her out of those four hendrick said. I guess right and he's afraid

signing they got from new orleans, but has been one of the best free in signing the borderless fears and hubbard cincinnati kid When you have easier the prize you there he's like their guy, but I think these are not household names. there are the auto miles garrett. There is not a t j why there is not a micro persons and yet that's what color gets that to me. turning jacksonville and pittsburgh in baltimore. If, like no one's plato your games in those than those yeah players and good quarterbacks, there has been an error, whatever happens at half time and lose pretty honest He wanted that arizona job last year and I want to Jonathan gannon and that's fine. They went their direction but like no one better in football than that guy at half time adjusting in confounding. These are opposing quarterbacks, whether it be my homes. Although times are josh out of those times when you lose aims, Arnold this weekend in exactly right,

when you're listing these teams on paper, it's like oh yeah, wow. Those are all playoff teams to me. I think the bangles in their defense- they they they they could hang with any of those teams. and I think there is well coached as anyone on the defensive side of the ball at the very least that there'll be able to hang with those squads that I think will be about them in january, even so yeah and, and then there's the borough at factored in that game. Two weeks ago and they're like Joe just wasn't losing that game. Like all thirty minutes talking about it, yeah cause you could whip it around. He got it right. They got SAM darnold this week they have banged up super weird buffalo. Next week they got a super young, Houston team. After that, at baltimore. They always play them well home pittsburgh that Michael Myers, but you know, kenny picture on the roads is younger the twenty percent more than the accident the relevant to me that if I went one of those that the baltimore things interesting so baltimore, and

If the data, you think, are the great rivalries you think of baltimore and pittsburgh, I could tell you no one: coaches on both side of the ball, like they don't like each other in baltimore. So when Lamar having his empty pcs, and they would put up fifty on the on the bangles in bangalore, awful as early as active players, and then steer when Lamar was out- and it was- I can't let they in their since it howdy obviously was looking to put it to them and go to the meda great play a game last year, so baltimore since in That's it underrated robbery and I think it before we crown the ravens like the bangles aren't done yet the seas, and I could see them come in for bind here. Vandals seems to think there dumb, because over and are being at eight half says to me that you know the sharps out. There are believers, I think that's too low either one seemed sis kosovars, eleven and a half on fender, and I was like me, it seems low, and then I I like man that seems high, that I don't know what to think like kudos, the patriots

our plan at my mistake. My aim is super banged up by great red tape. Innocent thirsty warning, I dunno. If tyreek, explaining most and playing there, are missing she got into. My aim is sad. Their offensive line is not good. Italy has not been good. Lombardi's talked about this on his cast about our every may Dana, as is basically to disguise the fact that his line came back and he just really good at it. But there's some games when path, pats played pretty I'll get salmon mac costs than the game. A few weeks ago, that's a good night and ass the pats next five. After this. they have all washed and home indeed by weak at giants, and then home chargers at us, that, unlike am I getting slipped back in the intimate with, and just somebody hit me over the head with a baseball bat. I don't wanna get setback it. I was ready for them. The tag five days ago shrugs turn the tick a camera on the indy games in frankfurt, which is interesting because I

I was in german, oh that's right you and when- Germany has you and it's the munich game. Last year the to Munich gave her therefore go morning. Footballers critical- and I was blown away with all of the patriots fans in germany, the when applying germany- and I was like what the hell this- and it was explained to me that in germany, on their network, whenever it is, they play one game a week from america for throughout the early two thousands so think about who is winning all those games are, so they ve kind ever been adapted as germany's tee. The doing good path because they They would get one gave a week and it was usually brady versus whoever. So they were fought. So I think one is, can be released and crowd in that it might feel like it's gonna be a neutral field, but I think there are a lot of people in germany who grew up patriots vans and that one could be a home field advantage in a major way for them all. So you might and by the way you know you don't when that happened was in the sixties. With the NBA they just a rustling chamberlain every week. So then

integration and then they got these six or south expanse, because those were the only dream that we're just on four like eight years yeah, if you look around and like airports, you'll still see a lot of guys in steelers and raiders jerseys. I think it's the same effect in the seventies, yet My generation stairs raiders cowboys because we would have kids when I was like kindergarten first grade and in the boston area in the past, good. Yet they were good until seventy six, but there are kids like I'm a vikings fan cause you see me wait, I'm a cowboys fan. I'm a steelers fan were like what about the fucking patriots he's got their right here in the treaty and may like really stay or stand you fucker, yeah now at its what happens, the bandwagon, the bandwagon potential savings Germany's on the paths bandwagon, I think, germany's

I've been here and I would not of all those games. I would, but I think, you're crazy. If you think based on that one, when last week you think the patriots can go on iran and are not being right, I provide oh. I wish I had a lot of talk myself into a deal with angry. You ever have a friend you now who keeps on ikea going back to that same girl in it. This isn't the time for it. I made you can go back to the patriots dude. Obviously, and I just I Don'T- I don't see it, but I also think there were just good enough last week that they're not gonna be sellers at the trade deadline, they're not gonna, be shopping off. All these guys, whoever's left so you're kind of in purgatory with them. One quick note interesting time. On the e in report that bill has signed a multi year contract over the office's early signs an extension every year I was going to say not first of all I know everyone at the league and all that stuff, like the league offices, I dont know what Bela check makes. I don't think I've ever seen a contract. I don't know about you check- is still represented by an agent. All that stuff is so backroom between him and craft, like their media,

people in the world. Who knows about that at its Bela check at its jonathan we're craft, he would even know like what it is and rapporteur story well, how did you get so who looked at you and into all that and why I came out, but there was some heat on at sea going into this week and of all the time so kind to say get the dogs off that yeah. It might have just been hey. Here's to year, there's an mayo thinking over after the second year. I could have been at that multi year, that's whatever it is, but I do think those guys way their asses off and that talk of Bela check being on our ability to happen. I immediately went away- and I was like alright- that was such a necessary win last week for just the rest of the season and it might come back if they lose this week and all that, but, like I just thought it was an interesting report. accurate, I'm sure and then an interesting reaction from the tea him and from the way it was handled moving forward, because then they asked him about it and he was like. I do not talk about my contract, it's like alright, but something

talking about your contract and kind of put that at bay for a little bit I interpreted as This season could go either way and it's probably going the wrong way and if we have to tank just know that he's here in the long term and he would be participating in the tanking decisions. Now you could argue last week I mean they did a couple of things that they just hadn't done for six weeks. One of them was play their receivers, who actually can get open I don't know what what a crazy, what a crazy idea to play born and pop douglas, who both can actually get open and then make plays after the catch, bob and, like everyone else, in the receiving core, and then throw this name out, he's a borderline fantasy pick up, but this guy oh brown. They have foods. This converted offered scenario base guy. He he makes big place for them. He had a big play, com

back last week, but then he had another big play in it. Just seems like you makes to twenty five yard. Plays a game, I dunno I'm not I I. I was really impressed by them last week. I thought they played well and I think this dolphins game is a nice spot for them because they played them. Well, it's a division game and I think they're, giving up too many points, but I'm not myself back in tricks. That said last week they played there. came at a season and it took them, give it away and mac don't go eighty yards heroically like when it, but they were winning the whole tire game, and then josh, I will add up just firm action. Then I guess you're gonna. Fifty second, merely that they told born a formal browser are at the sea hawks, and this too shy watson story, which has been weird from the moment they made the trade. I dunno know why they played him yesterday, he added

we're singing he had five throws into them were the worst throws of the entire season. They took him out. He seemed fine with it a to me this is, I guess why you don't guarantee football contract where you have a guy who has been a disaster from the moment he showed up and was just on the sidelines, didn't seem like he cared if he was out there or not the in on the sidelines and he's just kind of like watching like everybody else, and- and this is the weirdest story- I think- of of this decade. So far, this watson thing from the moment the trade, the fact that he don't want to go there. They guarantee the deal suited had a convincing to go. There he's got, these allegations and things he asked the Sarah legally that just you know a meter turns it into your on one side or the other. Then he shows up and he aggressively, mediocre or, worse so the entire time he's out there and it doesn't look any remotely resembling the shall want some from three years ago, and it just seems like it's getting worse, not better

The shoulder injury is a legit injury from what I've told. So that's just that they're. Ok, fine, let's talk about the quality of they would he's out there. It's substandard, it's, not the top twenty quarterbacks. It's not! Now it's not top twenty five, probably them, and they put pj walker in. It seems like the the offense moves, just the same, if not better than really how they're going to win games this year, which is what they've done and they've got a fantastic record as the defense is going to have to lead them in Jim Schwartz as defenses, but absolutely insane. In this past week, special teams they had to fifty yard field goals and a blocked and they had a blocked field goal on their own so like they are going to be one of those teams that winds with defense and special teams, and yet they have the highest guaranteed contract in the history of the sport at quarterback and everyone just kind of like shrugging like well my my thought process, the so like go back to that march. Whenever that all went down- and there is a bidding war, fer to shun watson in cleveland basically said we're gonna, be you. What no one else will will give you the day that the guard,

korea, where the browns would nothing good happens to us. I guess we're gonna have to do the dumbest thing possible, which I gave in the reaction for the league meetings in the reaction from the owners was like sickness from those. We ask that they that that the bounds did that They were like you know what were the queen embrowns, we ve had twenty one quarter backs and twenty rears were knocking over I'm a beggar, and I almost like you know what shit they're gonna take a public relations. It and the fans it's gonna, be a very difficult thing. They're gone for it. They want to, they want to do what's best for the football field they go for, the football hasn't been there. So here's my question, those teams atlanta carolina above very variant on shown watson if you they say to Atlanta carolina. Would you right now trade for dinner, watson Domini lighter near him right, I don't even think contract decide. They would take. I think, carolina

would rather have bryce young men to shown watson. I think Atlanta would rather have the locker room and more gas as a basque abound, and they could just flip him to denver refer Russell Wilson and it just like all the salaries match. We can just do this I don't have a thing. Denver would do that. I don't know if they would- and I don't think There was a wilson is exactly lighted up in denver this year, even even start out better numbers. I would that brussels last week, not good so sad, it's actually kind of obama to watch whatever. You gotta go like a shadow themselves neurologist out. He said it was sal. You see how many start doing thing and he's running. I just can't anymore and like the fancy ass thought that you guys set It was lombardy. Her sorrow in season like some points: gonna. Go in and I haven't spoken of pay and about that, but it's like you can't watch those games would russell, especially the thursday night came against the chiefs where they have eighty five yards off. You can watch it and be actively be like uk disguise job

in a saleable bike, so I think you're right. I think if he keeps on losing we're going to see, sit him but back to to the watson thing yo, the numbers: aren't there they're dead, the winning games without him, and they just sign pete? walk or to a one year, contract racing, it's kinda stability that you are the guy for now but age. as it lit it I'll be. So it's one of things like how far can you get if you're the browns with it's what they have on offense, which you know he can at least make the one, throw a quarter. Yeah somebody and make like he's not like a complete. This or he'll run out he'll run around and you know create a first down. Somehow he's not a complete disaster know and he's like a c minus. I just like. in today's nfl, without about the quarterback than the offence and how I dont know. If, if we gotta play ass, if Cleveland can aid, they could probably make it would be if they can

with watson under center. The way he's playing- I don't know if you can win a playoff game with just defense and special teams, and he cannot their fault that they lost Chubb and I think cooper and more and for their their good players. But like the quarterback petitions huge and it's it's, It varies for them so that it's amazing to me for what they pay him, that that might be what holds them back from being a great team. Can I talk you into seattle? a sports. If the ruin of sea west- let's do it, when this game and then serve cisco, loses that since again and outside, I will look at how they they starve and played each other yet minnesota. I didn't get to talk about them on the packet ask, as that was the Monday night game went on you. Now it turns out. Party was probably can cause the net. had helped them or about, but also minister, on around added and finally had his oh you're gonna, be like a special one. It looks like he had one of those games and it was

when you go backwards, therefore losses they last attempt by three philly by six chargers: foreign casey by seven there were in all those games, come up at green add Atlanta new orleans at denver chicago bye week at vegas, so they might not play in a an above five hundred team for almost two months here. Ah and then they have, this packers in the packers, were so bad in that denver game add that a million dollar packs I had really authors. I did I was like. They're they're gonna score. These twenty points be enough, not only that scored twenty points, but that was the first time were I'd well. A glove might not habit. The heat is by now have it, so this seems like a nice spot for them there, sixteenth thin, diva away by the way the vikings fourteenth aphids fifteen defence seems like a nice so why are they only want an airplane, favorites yeah there

they're going to go as far as cousins is going to take them in this year, he's been really good and the offensive line which was such an eyesore. So it was great that you can San Francisco. They give up zero, in own rare six hurries boy, the bill. It was twenty two seventeen they bring out our boy greg Joseph we've lived and died with everything he misses that kick and parties at the fifty down five, and if he's not concussed or if he thought yeah they'd probably lose I gave you so it's one of those words like yes wanna get another vikings and yes all that stuff defense great in prime floor, than planned, better no jefferson is still here to me, and I don't think they have a running game to speak of with acres and and madison, not as echoing up so it's on cousins again and cousins numbers fantastic this year and I you see them as a special

team this year. They go on. One of these runs out. I don't, but I do I'm trying to figure out. Can I get who's? My sixth and seventh in the nfc did to me they're the anton chigurh coin. Toss team this year was just like therein all these games, the the quarter and then flip a coin, and you might have the one week where cousins as a tip pick, you might add the next week where their defense something else that I value out on my rams pick a black the struggle, their offensive line seems you know they'll come out in these games and shot so good in the first quarter level really nice and credit that first twenty plays. Then, by the time you get in the two hour market, the game it starts. Getting a little gamy and then all of a sudden stafford's running around for his life, and it just says, she might have enough but on the other hand they have two guys, you jesse they can get up and whenever they once vertigo linkages, walk for stafford. Long enough, I thought Henderson was really good. Last week

where he was for two years. He was heard. The other kid was good to have growth freeman. He had sixty sixty yards moving the boy then yeah. The the six was a killer. But the white plays a killer and then again shown by the way he's had a baby on tuesday congratulations. He was beside himself and speak out? Probably out, as you could see, the face, but the pass interference, all they called our witherspoon there at the end of the year and then the anti johnson tonsil they get off setting, and then you get the spy and it's amazing he'd every time out, so we couldn't review it and they lose and I love her watch everything in some of the criticisms I go. That's because they make raise an idiot for wasting his time out when he called his last time. To change out of a third downplay and an end up going to touch on the boy and my thought: That is in his been in baby the last few days, but like my thought, it from the outside it the officiating, so bad, is it so wretched?

We blame coaches for not saving a time out in the in the emergency that they might need one from a terrible call. Yeah like that that that's me, explanation, I thought they are played pittsburgh there an unfortunate ending there at the time out and with how they couldn't get that play reviewed, but they stopped them on fourth down clearly and that's a big loss, but I don't think that team is necessarily a fall off the wayside and they might lose it this week, they're playing dallas get normal touchdown and it just seems like a classic throw down in a tease the rams camp fire cowboys defensive. While touching. I came back breed stay away from people say I dont, like teams getting a lot of points, second, throw the ball and get cheap touchdowns and be down thirteen with two minutes left the man eater just keep going down the wrong. I guess I've got seahawks, I've got, I wasn't it

if the ox or niners winning it. I'm writing this down. I think the eagles and the cowboys right. So there's your for any three more teams. You need someone in the nfc south. So, let's say atlanta there's your faith. I said yes, I got seattle, several go philly daily hours. Linda you need an annex, c north team to liberate that there's one more thing. So is it minnesota, maybe, but pick your poison? I mean it could be The saints might rally could be the giants. None of the giants You can either rams could be the ran. So that's the rat, you ve the teams have. The conference makes it. So it's like the pact, before the year and it just seems like they. Ve had too many injuries, though, and love might that be the guy and personally for and ass, a guy not them from watson quickly. Talkin one team that we have been mentioned and I don't wanna plans, but if my favorite story of the year we thought about tightened,

agent, oh yeah. I was going to ask you about that hold on save that, because that was my last thing. I'd have this teased that I was looking out with the lions. over the raiders and the chiefs over the broncos quickly. On the raiders, what's other writers bet that's one of the worst that was the saddest team. Last week, like it, it looked like they were kind of quitting on everything, and I don't know the mcdaniel quote, was alarming too. It's like they're like why? Don't you started in okada on these kids cause? It's not the preseason Josh play one. There were where's, like you know, almost wage a who had a couple passes, a guy who was born after two winds, to speak out in the media, who does drop them divide the atoms traviata passes.

Confounding deem it and then the raiders I can't get behind them, but like they ve got so many great skilled players that its confusing, because max crosbie the absolute nightmare to block- and then you have Jacob who could running back and Adams, who should be a great receiver and That's a good run back, who hasn't he's running like tuna carry this year as the current trade matters about them. I just don't think I don't think so. have Adams, good quarterbacks and couldn't get a first round her and something else farm right now. I think it like lot of people in my world that I guess we're now so scared. We said a collective We lot of guys are so scared till I come at the player directly in question if they because a player empowerment, I I really the timing of those quotes and I like to volunteer- think he's as good as it gets. One is with the right system and quarterback, obviously and that's not fair to him. But you know what I mean he's one of the best watch, the reason believable. For the raiders to be like now were at I've, told them tat. They ve told everyone he's

tradable and he's off like. I thought that was a big and waving his hand, be like I'm, not happy rail you'll have many assets. like. Are you a suitable this year he came no sign with their to play with their car their hearts out there like, I was a little surprised. They felt every time he is not on the trading block of the next few weeks and unlike what why not like consider it, I don't know either he's a great blair and he doesn't want to be there in sicily, it's to win, obviously, but to win needs to get his his touch. and he was like a nine targets in two weeks, the whole from entering fur leg sum up, he's been traded to them. It was like one of those trades without o or he's been traded. The cowboys for two first round picks out, oh my god, by mean everyone like it's happening, he's not happening, he's not entreated. Let's talk about you guide, tasted agent, so look bad

I've, been doing this for a long time that say about a thousand amiss some stuff, this type of beijing. He gets the nod to start last week and I do know homework on it at all. Like our ban, the bears? Who cares? I don't know anything about the story. I dont know that they have to quarterback thing. I don't know about the dad being a champion, our bresler ida. I just did, No, I am watching on one of the tea any scrambles. You know how and gets a first down and then start Doing the gladiator give me some jimmy, I'm like her, Who is this guy and it was very proteus? They win the game. I watched the videos after of of accurate article iii seem like they loved him. Just you're a little girl like you were like had. This is lacking

We, the kind of shit I love and bet on, so does this feel real, like you see, maybe half decent alright, so go back to senior bowl. Last year, in january there there were a lot of guys that we're like rushing the senior ball this year, where there was just not the senior class that they're usually is and Jim nag credit to him or to the senior boy he's scours the earth. For these guys, actually, invited to different players from ships. university in west virginia, which is a division, school vision to school, with five thousand fans in the crowd, and he gets his kid. Bayesian who's the quarterback in his offensive of fischer, comes to the senior ball and I interviewed the head coach, His name is earning a cook and has been there for ever and is like it. That of a movie earning kirk. I interviewed him for my pakistan. He says you know we couldn't afford air fare.

The senior balsamy in five guys on the coaching staff. We drove overnight. You know twenty hours to get from west virginia to the senior bowl in mobile to go cheer on ties, ITALY, he didn't they didn't. They don't have like a state of the the thirty. We see the alabama stuff at shepherd university. There is a high school history teacher who built a a like man. Cave slash, cross, fit thing, that's where the team trains I built it this guy who's, a teacher at the local high school about the college, not a professor at the local high school. He built it and that's where the players train- and I posted the clip on my feed he's talked to me about, thyssen agent. How he works out during a college career he's, lifting logs of wood is rocky for, log rocky war he's bench pressing logs of wood with his teammates and their their work out. Weren't. Let's

one on the the shred mail or the treadmill. We ve got these guys at excess. They would run to the shores of the potomac river, which is like three mile. From campus, and they run in it in the water and they would swim in the potomac river and then get out of the potomac and then hollowed out with their own hands in their own ingenuity, a a a man made coldbath out of the shores potomac or they would go in and make us how they would read like at their bodies back build a shit crazy, it's crazy. He did his team this weekend. The shepherd team they're playing blooms burg of division. two in a big game and talking to the coach coachman. Second about blooms burg. I sit in there and I'm listening and I'm like this guy is going to be on Sunday night football with tirico and collinsworth in front of thirty million people, and he and his college coach is about blooms bergen, how he loved thyssen, when,

was a a kid at church and who had seen in the church pews cause. He grew up in the local town. Only two schools recruit and this might be good for four kyle here albany being one of them and then robert moorish, being the other. There are the only to school. That were bigger than shepherd. He stays at shepard and any longer sure, gets to the senior bore kind of like an oddity, but also our, I will say, division to get it he's got the helmet on and the bears coaching staff look at sea is coaching at the senior ball and who did they fall in love with taste and agent? and the rest is history he doesn't get drafted, but he chooses to go to chicago, I have one last page: it now get right, freakin loved, so summer he's an under after rookie free agent. Quarterback varies. Long shot for those guys to make a team, especially if you weren't, even to party we thought, was a cool storybook story. He was Are we through seventh rounder yeah and a three time starter in the big twelve like it? A guy comes from, might as well be mars,

west virginia at shepherd. Where western has never produced and nfl starting quarterback by the way the state itself guys come into play there, and this summer he gets the luke etsy play an whereas other players are gonna vacation whenever you heard these kind of stories, but this is why it so crazy he would go a shepherd field every morning and with the play, but he would have his friend come and stand on the sidelines with a cell phone and he would have an air airbus, an airport, whatever it's called in his ear at the fifty and the friend through a cell phone would say, the play calls from gets is often with listed out, like whatever it is. You know spider, Nana DA da da da DA and he would sit there and he would simulate the cause of the empty field line of scrimmage at shepherd university, and he did this for six straight weeks. Didn't take a day. Friend, is that it has on the sidelines cellphone ridding getting so that he shows up camp and their blown away so much.

so that Nathan, peter men, whose you make your jokes about pyramids career, was the veteran guy. The risky like this guy's a number two. It's not can be peter ermine. He had the playbook down and and ass all those little things. It's the stuff you make a movie out of, but it's all real and the bears love the guy? What he's brought you sadly the Collins worth voice. I cannot wait to hear collins worth gushing over is weakened well their plan. chargers in l, a I would say, there's that we thought there could be like fifty thousand depressed bears fans in there, but now there's going to probably be fifty thousand excited bears fans beijing. I loved that he had what like fifty three p. He had a whole section and the sunday game of family they find people sixty five or even to say all all crowded and one section is losing their fuckin miles an hour. And then you have the chargers who were complete mess? Who are? Could this this

If you're going to be cynical here, the bears again eight a half the bears are plus three fifty for the game. But if you're going to be cynical here, this is the kind of setup for bran and stale his last game or, like oh man, many lost the tastes of baigent and they had make a move so weird to think this is a must win against tax evasion, but the charges or two and four they look terrible hugely disappointing, since, all over the place. Herbert even the nerves are like it, it's harder for me. that defend their nerd here, adjusted herbert when he keeps growing up in a games. The J c jackson paying him library of either aids is payments. Great library is defending digs and gave Davis were four quarters simply with other paying for him. I don't know what I've gone with that them, so this has all the makings better. We can also see he looks like a sports movie in this, be the part of the sports movie where he just socks and so nay and now he's got a hit rock bottom again, and then he comes back. I don't know, I don't think it's him

because it is why his numbers last week were like twenty one Twenty four for four one: sixty in a touch down, they ran for forty yards yeah that they are not asking them to go with it over three hundred yards and I'll. Ask him to throw the ball fifty five times a little bit. Like other mega form and to form and who said Elizabeth. Seventy love that guy everywhere, it's like I re. Every teams were grudgingly play him. Then he just kills it when he plays its great it's like an inactive for them for four weeks. Yeah yeah and he's been great and you want won't talk, celebrity celebrity jeopardy. Before we go yeah. Can we limit gaffe just give it give us like two minutes on it, Oh there's, an actor strike, a writers' strike. If you listening and like why the fuck would Peter schwaiger be invited to celebrity jeopardy. I think I love this and why is tyson baigent as she bears quarterback? We don't argue like hey you're there you're there I got. The

invite. I think a lot of people were reluctant to go on and do it during what was going on in hollywood. At the time I go out to to l a in august bill. If you are told like for days in advance, you are going on jeopardy. Of course you would go the question is: would you prepare? What did? How are you going to prepare? Thank you. So everyone's like get the book books I get em. I do I get on the plane am unlike southwest taxi thy boarding b and unlike on Wikipedia and the junk internet, like u s, state but also have an alert. We add, as other presidents filmore I get there, it's a real. Did you walk in and it's the actual. It's the jeopardy set and they share the studio with wheeler fortune. So, like I saw the actual wheel at like that, I grew up on. The ship I don't know about you, but I think we have probably similar in is that, like my family, wouldn't talk a lot about feelings when we were growing up in free how new jersey, at seven o clock at night

was like a wonderful thing to put on your back and just zone out, not talk to each other and watched yeah. That was it so I grew up. Others think I get out there. It's me verses MIRA. Savena yeah go way back the two of us up just like a lot of good morning football, bread and this guy rodriguez, whose I like the CBS. The adage knows who s experience, but here is what I will tell you it s last night wild. It goes out the final jeopardy. The category was in lit tween will lead to use it. Working in other tree, and the answer was offered to put down thing I was down two hundred points to mere slovenia, going at the final jeopardy and I look over and survive he's got her family at the taping, scatter crew and she's got like two teenage daughter is in there. And I'm like fuck got Georgiana and I saw and they rigged this they

get that it now whatever it is like shit saw MIKE as about the put them The number data like who wrote those twilight books who wrote that the other one the the the hunger games, I'm like, I, I don't know those answers, I'm like trying to think so. I said screw it. I went big number. The question was like this off there later said. She would regret not calling her hit book just margaret and I'm like. Oh that's, Judy blume, like that is judy blume bets that you got this year, write it down like who is duty bloom, and I had a big point: total I'll stay outta. My I got this: they starving peter trigger will you have? Who is judy bloom correctly wager major dear seven thousand dollars eight thousand hours great, like I've, seen pretty close to survive. I'm looking to try to get a red mere serving

Did you have it and she was like to under point either she goes serving a who is really blow. She bet the entire thing she had. She just be made by the slightest margin. Is the most dramatic jeopardy game ever I absolutely loved. It was crazy, no shame. I played a game, they d stats. Now I got nineteen questions right. I got three questions wrong, but I got to daily doubles wrong. So that's what killed me I'll tell you, though the tipp to anyone who is ever going to go on or if the buzzer is what what's cruiser in here's the deal when you watching at home and jumping out your couch in its like who Who is. I know that I know what you it was in. Until can Jennings finishes the clue in. If you, jump in a new press, the buzzer before he finished the clues outside. Yes, this famous there were romeo and Juliet your buzzing in beforehand you get locked out. So you see people freak out pressing that buzzer.

It's because they been locked out in their frustrated swatting, get there them down until like by mid way through and then I was hot dude. I gotcha random as shit stuff. I gotcha joy luck club, Amy tan? What about it? Like? Let's go! Go! You start your brain goes, crazy, like like their shores, bridge is one of the categories was bridges and I like cleaned up, I like and I didn't know, I knew bridges causing housing bill. It was the cool Experience red eye you gotta, go on you. I know you ve been asked of sure you have in your whatever reason. Try! Well I don't know my brain works so anywhere you serious the idea we ve survey now took you down harvard. Is she is you went ambassador I believe a member of men, sir. I had no idea about any of that stuff about thirteen daughters. Is a murderer? murder there as category they ve, no chance it was sofa working grants.

Sounds like a moral victory. You're kind of you're kind of like tyson baigent against the against the chargers this week to cover a day and a half, but not winning Nathan, tyson beijing against the chargers. I would have beaten everyone by a million. That's what's going to happen this weekend, bro! I could see shrikes love him at You are ween rap zappa million to picks. We have a full slate this week. Last week we had six by teams this week we have zero, and that makes no sense, but that's the for you stay ways this week for me cards ravens. We laid this out on the south podcast on Sunday. Every time somebody's played the best game of the weak somethin It's happened the next week with them, and this has been seven weeks around the ravens by the best gave in the week last week, I'm a little worried. They had some sort of trend that I dont, like all the money is on the ribbons of people. Put him in teases straight up.

It's just pencil a man, the ravens are the best team league, I'm staying away same thing for texans minus three and a half at carolina. All week I thought I was going to bed his game all week. I waited for the lions, moved forward, a four and a half carolina's. Thirty second and devialet Houston has a chance, maybe to be a seven seed. They've looked really good, they've looked good against a tough schedule, and yet, ah the line stated three and a half and I'm suspicious. I am staying away, I'm staying away from bears, say they have half in a against the chargers. Even though I love the thyssen bayesian story, it worries me old taking him and having collins worth have more many workers orgasms the bottom. Then he just starts. God only knows who is division to us here today? Brandon still is last week. Maybe could this be a fun bears money line, pick sure I'm staying away, though others can be. Fifty thousand bears fans are eagles. Washington eagles are favored by seven. Phil is a little banged up, still not sure. What's going on with hurts the last two times these teams have played,

the game's been close. More importantly, phillies got dallas at home next week, and this looks like a classic milton berle game where they just pull just enough out of their pants to win. Ah, I'm staying away from teases everything with that game. I'm staying away from two games with bad quarterbacks, saints minus one against the colts jets minus three against the giants. A car vs minshew in the erratic quarterback ball, staying away, zach walsenburg tyrod taylor! No thank you! Hate betting on games with bad quarterbacks. Somehow I did it last week with the packers broncos took the broncos and despise myself for The day cowboys are favoured by six now over the rams. This feels like either the rams have a shocking upset and when this right or they lose by twenty, and I couldn't decide which one so I am staying way, I'm not positive. They come back the cowboys, that's always been the most, but I can also see them going up tenor

in the first quarter and everyone as cowboys entities, freaking out last stay away from me. Viking. Minus one and a half at green beg reimbursement crushed by andrews? I think we're starting as the jordan love might suck, I'm that officially the criteria that yet, but he was really really the gruesome in that then began last week, and just in general is a pretty if he lambro field her cousins, it seems easy there, some bakings momentum, and yet the bikes coming off a great win in green bay coming off a horrible ass. Something about that see saw this looks too easy. Why isn't this line three? Why isn't the vikings by three I'm staying away?

alright, here's what we do like the million dollar picks for week, eight just for the record, we lost last week with bad luck. Last week down three sixty last week down eight hundred six five thousand, I'm not scared. You've watched me come back from this before think. I'm quaking my boozer off on that million dollar pigs. Week. Eight first one bangles plus four and a half read in that vague zone against the forty diners. I am proceeding like brought. It is not playing this game because all your life Anyone who got a concussion about plan, the next came, I bigots an unofficial rule. I think it now about one down I they bring. Same donald, I'd like since these defects that that they did a good job in seattle couple weeks ago little worried about their often supplying at san francisco front seven. But since you off a by JO borough, is dogged the stature great since it needs aim as recovered was schrager. They have a really tough schedule, come up again,

I think they there when this game or come close, and even if the night, As you know, god double figures there stone that cheap touchdown zone here so I was gonna, take more money line, underdogs just going for, because the money underdogs of the underdog covers they also seem to win. But in this case and grabbed the points, I think this is it this game. Maybe they when they stick around no debo mccaffrey, relatively healthy sand, are feels either team could win this one bangles plus four and a half. That's our first one. Second, one steelers were gone back to the well baby all year long, who has been the biggest supporter of the pittsburgh steelers other, never from pittsburgh. This guy right here, foreign to their the michael, my esteem. This year, you have no idea there pulling it off the port off week after week, actually that they played really well. The second

that rams game. Last week they ran the ball they made plays down the field. Their defense was terrific. It's Michael Myers, his birthday on tuesday, I dunno. If you're aware this it is, he turns sixty three man. He looks great. I mean his died, at least seventy two times he looks great. The steelers are. I could allusion unto days before Michael myers birthday, it can be pouring rain. I repeat, pouring rain. My time is a home dug the jack's said the jagged there. They went to london. Games are covered this rigour to lending aims at a third than a game see that when a normal sunday game on the road on grass in bad weather against Michael myers- I don't see you lied to point. take a some take the money line in the stores, plus one twenty four to win

right against the jagged was alleged to have some grabbed the money on next one. This looked at and bit too easy, but on the other hand, desmond ridder has six six turnovers the last two weeks and is the first person I've ever seen, fumble the ball more than once at the one you're than falcons minus two and a half at tennessee. They try to combine this week. The titans, who is one of their, could save these support. Flag for me. No ten held this week there doing this thing where they're gonna play will levis and more equal ass to quarterbacks. It's almost like are one plus one, was three, but in this case the one in the one is kind of a zero. It's a zero point: zero equals zero. That's my take! I know this looks too easy and the falcons outdoors and switching com it says, and they have burned as over and over again with with

either they win, but they don't cover all these different things. I just think this is a rare chance to better gets a team. That's playing will levis Emily cooker and that's it. if the situation will happen again from a gaming standpoint, we a less than three points. Atlanta is better. I think fantasies deepen their toes

Maybe in the number one pick sweepstakes trade deadlines coming up. Will they trade derrick henry? Will they trade deandre hopkins? Will they trade other guys in the defense? It's all in play? It is not a good team, they cannot block and I think the falcons defense is pretty good. Maybe the falcons defense can win the sun on their own taking them. I love this one browns plus three and a half at seattle and you're. Like the browns to see deshawn last week, he was awful they're going to have to play. Pj, walker again, I'm fine with it PJ walker, solid c minus. You know what I got to see minus in a couple of courses in high school and college. It's ok! You can still get a three out of seattle's offensive line, got decimated.

Cincinnati two weeks ago and in general is not good. I would say it's below average cleveland's front seven as good as it gets. I'm willing to throw away last week against indianapolis that that they're gonna a walk in beat up on Minshew watson, shits the bed so badly in the first quarter. That indie hits a couple big as I just think that was a look a head game. They thought they just had to show up with their great defense they're going to win. I think their defense wins this game with. That said, I don't trust, PJ walker enough to take the money when I'm new to the plus three and a half. I think this is a three point game. They have a chance to win browns plus three and a half at seattle and will see that defence can win that game. Last but not least, the teaser I've lost Jesus. These are our. I was gonna do one again, but to do that, I cannot resist the land It's coming off a horrible ass, their plane Is there no game? I think the raiders impact it is for the season lions bringing them down from

after one and a half. they'll believe in lyons. I have them number five and my power rankings, and if you go, He be aware that such are just so much better than vegas and then she's brok, as would be the other one. You know the broncos They have a way of hanging around in chiefs games, I'm not that concerned about it and hopefully, taylor swift will go, but we're gonna tease the chiefs down for seven to one and a half, so lions down to one and half chiefs down, one f, that's a tease and then a couple small ones, so the first one jacksonville to win the first half but pittsburgh to win the game. Cousin sal talked about this on sunday. This happened last week in the pittsburgh rams game where the pittsburgh they take like a half to get going. We're just gonna put fifty k in this plus eight hundred so jacques beau in the first half pittsburgh wins the game to sprinkle were sprinkle fifty km, that plus eight hundred,

it's going to sprint or sprint go at fifty cared and this parlay it's the same game parlay. It is in progress because we don't have demurred douglas and passing props yet for receptions, pats, adjusted to four and a half the over against the dolphins to twenty nine and a half points, and then you can do that, though the pop douglas tt air and make that plus ten forty nine or you can wait for mad saturday, because I'm in either do that, for adieu arm catches for him, because if you watch the pats last week in rome, I remind yourself that I told you this just profanity purposes, pop douglas for the paths as reach. They cannot keep em off the field. territory- and I think he's just going to get better and better every week, but I liked the receptions in the yards with him we'll see. Maybe they'll have like a plus forty yards without pads plus for now. I think

it can be a close game, rain and wind second time they pointed to other. The first game was pretty close. My aim is bad on both sides. Another danger the rams back for the sun, but I think the path war hang around and I did they can rush to minors. The line isn't good. I think the pats can pressure him and I do throw some stuff to take tyreek out of the game. Directx hurt, but playing wado has a bad back, most might not play and added. The pats can steal that. So, to recap: we're doing three hundred k on bengals, plus four and half steelers, plus one twenty four falcons minus two point: five browns plus three and a half and then a tease line it's minus seven af with chiefs minus seven f and then fifty k flyers on that path. Same game parlay, which all officially have on my twitter feed on saturday and Jacksonville, wins the first half pit, wins the game plus eight hundred. You know what I'm gonna move down. My steelers madeleine parlay,

two to fifty said to put Swansea two hundred and fifty k a plus one. Twenty four so add that to your scorecard, a million at squareness. Those are million dollar pacts for we gate I'd. That's him for the pack Ass thanks to run honey and peter schwaiger, thanks to calculate in an steve's rudy as well. yet you watch was coming on Monday. Joy. The weekend They say if everyone, a man, we think in matter she answered, It must be true.
