The crown is yours today is Friday, September 11th. And football is back.

So back probably the last time we'll say that. No, we're going to sit on Monday. No, but Monday will be boomers. And we're going to say football is back. Yeah, true, true, true, true. Yeah, football is back. Back. We have our week one preview coming every single game. Scott Hansen, FireFest, a great, I actually was while we were taping this show because we taped a lot of it earlier in the day, I was smiling because I was just getting to talk ball with my best boys. It's so good. Like we're, you know, we've been doing it for the last month or so, but it's mostly just been using our imagination. Correct. It's like, I wonder what the season's going to look like. Max, why is Jalen Hertz not throwing enough picks? You know, like that sort of stuff. Now it's like, we got actual shit to talk about. Right. Like Drake may throw in three, fourth quarter interceptions. And maybe the worst throw of his career, you said that? Yeah, worst game of his career, worst throw of his career. Hank, you seem like you almost canceled football season on Wednesday night.

That's what it felt like. It sucks playing the first game of the year and then having that, you know, be the end result. Obviously, this is a Sunday at one o'clock game. It doesn't get talked about as much as it has in the past 24 hours, but rightfully so it was, it was a horrific loss. Yeah. There's no, there's no two ways about it. Yeah. I've got some stats. If you want to do by the numbers, I got stats too. Okay. You go first. You go first. Let's go staffer stat. You want to go set for set? Yeah. All right. Will we, the rest of us will be the judge on who wins the staffer stat? Go for it. Who's going up for a BFTA? Now you go first. Who's got a coin? Who's got a coin? Flip a coin to see who has to go first. That means Hank, you go first. All right, here comes Max. He's flipping a Lucy. I got a Lucy. All right. Flip it. The heads up top. Yeah, we understand what heads and tails are for that. Who's calling it? Hank? Heads. Heads it is. So are you a team? You go first, yeah. For the second half? Yep. Okay. Okay, so I'm defending. I'll take this, this side.

All right, here we go. Here we go. Stat number one, every pass that Drake May has thrown over 15 yards this season has been intercepted. Whoa. That can't be true. Three of them. Yep. Wow. Okay. Hey. The last five quarterbacks to throw three interceptions in the season opener. Matthew Stafford 2022. Joe Burrow 2022. Josh Allen 2023. Drake May this year. It's a good, good group to be in. It's a good thing. So none of those guys went to the Super Bowl that year. Do you know on this? I'm fine. No, we're judging. We're judging. I'm just. PFT wins that stuff. Yeah. PFT won round. Yeah, I mean, you know, well, no, that was that that's just an error. Yeah. I'm up to that. Also, you listed guys who didn't go to the goal. I'm listening to the best quarterbacks in the league. Yeah, but those guys didn't go to the Super Bowl that year. And then when the MVP that year. You sure about that? Yeah. I mean, Joe Burrow's never won an MVP. Matthew Stafford's first MVP was last year. I remember Josh Allen's MVP. Wait, was that 2024?

That was the 2020. Three New Orleans Super Bowl. So as the Eagles. That's 2024. Okay, so we, but not Super Bowl. So MVP. Max. All right. Ty. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I still say this was a PFT. So that 2022 season was after they went to the Super Bowl. No, I know. I know. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, they didn't go to the Super Bowl that year. Okay. Next stat. The Pitches shows you. No. You have to know if you stand in and rough the stand. How is Matt Stafford? You did jump offside there. Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow both did it. The only reason it didn't happen in Darnell's because he got hurt. But that just shows you that's just that you get to the Super Bowl. It's kind of a right of passage. You throw three pictures. You said Sam Donald if he had played the whole game would have got to throw three. Yeah, without a doubt. Well, Matt and Apple and Matt Stafford and Joe Burrow. Okay. This is a Super Bowl stat. You wouldn't know. Okay. How many times in Tom Brady do that? He's spicy.

I like it. I got Tom Brady. That's keep it. I like it. Stop for a sec. Okay. Tom Brady. By the way, you can't jump offside. By the way, I'm at this point. Matt, you'll order touchdown. Max and Zach would judge this boxing rules. You know what I mean? Like 10, 9, one of them will tabulate after. Okay. That was round one. Okay. Of the last 22 Patriots opponents, 11 have fired their head coach. 12 have played a quarterback who is back up or benched. Only five out of the Patriots, the last 22 games have not been against a bench quarterback or a fired head coach. Whoa. Say that again. That's a lot of words. Of the Patriots, the last 22 opponents. Okay. 11 have fired their head coach. And 12 in that game played a quarterback who was either a backup or a quarterback who had been benched who returned. Got it. Okay.

So only five of the Patriots, the last 22 games were not against either a coach who was about to be fired because the team was so bad or a backup quarterback. That was from Scott Casmar. Okay. Tom Brady, year three, week one, had four interceptions in the first game and got benched. Okay. So to answer your Tom Brady's that. Ben Strick, man. Is that where you say? No, I'm just saying like these things. I'm judging these. I'm judging Ben Strick, man. No, it just means that one bad game, the first, first week of season. Okay. But you're saying that like maybe if you bench Tom Brady and he got better, how did you make a play in the last game that he played? The C-Ox TVNC is phenomenal. Okay. The C-Ox TVNC is phenomenal. Okay. Don't know. No, no, no, no, no. That's not, yeah, hold on. I'm, listen, I'm, I'm, I'm scrating these rounds. That was round two. Don't we're going to unveil the card at the end? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to unveil the card at the end. Round three. Drake May is the first quarterback in the NFL history

to play two opponents back to back and have the best fourth quarter of his career in the first game and the worst fourth quarter of his career in the second game. Oh. And then what happened in both of those games? He lost both of them. Okay. Okay. Josh Allen in 2023 week one had three interceptions against Jets and lost the game. It wasn't this, you already did that stat. No. What year was that? 2023. Well, yeah. We just all the three interceptions twice in the week one. Different stat. Wait, when did Josh Allen throw three interceptions? Well, one, one was a collective stat about the quarterbacks. No, no, no, no, no. But I need to know when Josh Allen threw the game. Well, the loss of the game wasn't at all, at all. Wait, but you double dipped on the same stand. Also, you might have screwed up my point of not winning the MVP that year because you're now your saying it was 2023. I said that the first time. You said it was 2024. No, I didn't. There's opening 9, 9, 11, and router stores at Kaleigh's. Did he not say 2024 last time? No.

To start the show. I have a stat. Okay. So Josh Allen did not win an MVP the year that he threw three interceptions. So open the season. Okay. Okay. Half time show. Okay. Max, I actually only have one more. Can I do the half time show? Can I do the half time show? I'm sure that I'm done with this. It's that boy. Oh, boy. All right. So that's a TKO for PFT. I can drink these guys to games. He has thrown more interceptions than Jail and Hertz threw in the 2024 season. Okay. And now we're done with the last interception that he threw last year. Now we're good. All right. What's your last stat? A lot of Patriots fans were like to talk about the AJ Brown finally getting a good quarterback. You're about to eat everything. I fucked up. Dude, he's hurt. You just you just liver shot it. Hey, he's out. But what was your last one? It's been five years since we've seen as bad of an interception situationally as Drake made through on that last pick. Wow. Down by three less than a minute left inside of the 20 yard line. Last time we saw a pick that bad Kyler Murray week eight 2021,

which was I do believe a modern warfare double XP weekend. So Hank, what first of all, you lost that stat off? Uh-huh. You gave up. You didn't come out of the you didn't come out for round. I was it was the ball. I had you was rigged. I had you 10, 9 in round two. Drake Mays last five years right here. Seven touchdowns, 11 turnovers, seven picks, four fumbles lost, 24 sacks, 143 yards lost on sacks, six yards per attempt, five and a half net yards per set. I mean, now he's just being mean. He's he's he's caught his bloody. I mean, John, it was a it was horrible play call in the entire night. It was super conservative. It was tough to watch, even before they gave up the lead and before the interceptions. That was like, and off the sacks are an offensive line stat as much as it's a, it's a Drake Mays stat. If I were Joe Rogan going to the center of the ring, I just put the microphone in PFT's face. He just hit me with another stat. He's like a shout out this last stat.

I can do another one. Okay. Will Campbell, shortest arms in the NFL for an opposite tackle. Drake Mays smallest hands, bad combination. Combination. I think you won't want too far in the. That one wasn't that that was more editorializing. That wasn't so much of that. The last one before it was really good. Yeah. Hey, it's week one. It's week one. Yeah. Like AJ Brown injury sucks. Sam Donald injury sucks. Drew Lock, by the way, we should give him a little bit of credit. Like that did. It felt like the Patriots thought they were going to win that game with 10 points when Lock came in and they played that way. They were very conservative. It felt like the end of first half. It just is like, but you can never. The Seahawks defense is so fucking good. You don't always keep a team. They're team in the game. Yeah. And this is actually like a legit stat credited to the Seahawks defense. Remondor Stevenson, he had 50 yards after contact. He had one yard before contact. Damn. So he was hitting him as soon as he got the ball on the same.

Yeah, they fly. They fly around. They're everywhere. They made the big plays. That interception by Job getting his feet down. I know it was a bad throw, but it was also like a very impressive interception. That is the Patriot way. Do your job. Yeah. JSN. Like that. JSN is everything you want in a number one receiver in the fact that he could be quiet for a while. And then just one catch and he changes the game. Yeah. Like that's that's the type of special player he is where he just outruns everyone. They need to see off your headphones. Just relax. You don't like what Max is going to say. He didn't say it. He wasn't even looking. He didn't say anything. Hey, guys, keep week one. You have to green dot Hank. You have to keep the headset on. It's week one. Yes, we won. It's week one. It's week one. Stuff happens. This was a world class defense. The crowd was fired up. It was it was a banner night. Like the eyes of the world were upon you. Everybody has a bad game sometimes. It gets better. I talked to Drake May lover after the game.

I was like, what's the spin? We employ him. What does it know? Well, yeah, what's the party line here? I need to know what we're saying. It's kind of similar to what Hank said. Like, this is Josh McDaniel's fault. Terrible, terrible game plan. Terrible. Yeah, Drake May lover last night after said, blitz me. I don't care. And just just like give me everything. It's tough. Yeah. Hank, you treated after complete disaster. We might be in for a long season. It's week one. This wasn't a game. Did you think we were you. I mean, going into this game. Did you think you were going to win? Like, obviously you get pumped up for it. But like when you look at the schedule, like that's the Seahawks. That's the that you're playing in Seattle banner night. The best defense in the league. You had to expect that it was going to be a very tough game. If you were looking at my personal brain win probability chart, it was under 50% to start the game. Sandar went out and it went up to like 90%. You had to believe in Drew Lock. I didn't believe in Drew Lock. Drew Lock through some darts. Drew Lock is the is the rare backup quarterback that is a true gunslinger.

You get like long term backup quarterbacks that are more the game manager. And they stick around a long time and they they coast and and God bless them. There's a reason why most backups kind of fit that role. Drew Lock is the rare guy that will go in and he'll he'll put a few balls up to be intercepted. But he'll he'll throw the fuck out of a couple corner flat. Yeah, like I I love Drew Lock for that for because when you see a backup quarterback come in and they just take check downs and they're really safe. It can drive you insane. It's funny that Drew Lock is on the sea hawks because it's actually a bad pairing. Yeah, like the one thing like if you don't make mistakes with that sea hawk's defense, you're going to probably win. He didn't make a mistake. So I guess that's credit to Drew Lock. I mean, he had a couple balls that probably could have been picked off. Yeah, but that's what you're going to get with Drew Lock. But that's it. Like the sea hawk's defense is so dominant that it's like just don't give the other team shortfields with bad turnovers and they'll keep you in the game and give you a chance. Yeah, so the the Sam Darnell situation, not great. I guess it could have been a lot worse. People were thinking maybe it was a broken hip. It doesn't look like it was broken.

He's getting all the tests done. You got to be careful with Sam Darnell, I would say. Like you don't need to rush them back. They've got a brutal schedule picking up in the second half in October. So you know, get him 100% then bring them back and Hank, you know what? I got you. I got you back. I'm going to binge this loss for you. We three. I got you. All right. Thanks. I got you. Yeah, you're welcome. It's huge. Yeah. Good guy. Hank, what was going through your head when Drake May was throwing picks in the fourth quarter? Wow, Stu Feiner was sitting next to you watching promos of himself. I had to plug my ears like for the last like probably 10 minutes because it was just not even watching the game talking about God knows what the game was falling apart. Yeah. He was saying he was going on a riff about how Drake May has half a man's tongue. Yeah. I think he's got a normal tongue. Yeah, I think it was a bad angle on the tongue. Yeah, but that's never going to get out of my head. No, I'm always going to be like, yeah, you can't win with half a half a man's tongue.

Tiny tongue. How are you going to do that? I can't do it. All right. So are you feeling better today? No. Oh, worse. Yeah. Oh, why? AJ Brown. So AJ Brown's out for what, at least four weeks. Forty-six. High, high, high ankle sprain. That was tough. Romeo Dobbs. Pro drop. Oh, it was no one to be found really all game. Again, that might have more to do with McDaniels, but he had a wide open catch. First down just dropped it. Yeah. What do you think about, what do you think Eagles fans are thinking watching AJ Brown? Do you know any Eagles fans? Yeah, let's get on the phone with one. Okay. Too small of a sample size. I mean, he had 27 yards in the first half, but yeah, it's only a half a football. Do you think, now you know AJ a lot better than Hank does that the under throw on the flip flicker was a red. Okay. So what do you think AJ was thinking before before he got hurt? Too early to tell.

I don't think that's what you're saying last night, Max. I didn't say anything last night to the under throw. I don't want to hear. I don't want to hear. No, I saw Nate Tyson. I mean, he's a friend of the program, guests of the show, recurring guest. He did and I Nate Tyson, one of those guys that everything he says, I'm like, he just made me smarter about football. He didn't, he wasn't excusing the underturbe. He said a flip flicker like that is so dependent on perfect timing. And it looked like Ramandre Stevenson pitched it late to Drake, Drake May. So all the timing was off. Yeah. I mean, I have just telling you what he said. I'm just telling you what he said. That sounds like an excuse. Okay. Okay, we won't make it. Hey, I didn't say you got it. You got it. I got a good thing. I didn't make the excuse. I think Nate Tyson did. I think you got to hit that guy, but the pitch back was late. Nate Tyson made that excuse. Taking up with Nate Tyson. Uh, he's gonna be like, why did you go? It would be people tagging him and be like, they fucking name checked you.

Every month, we're gonna have him back on this year. Every now and again, we get reminded, you know, we've had a, I think a pretty successful podcast the last 10 years. We like to think that we're, you know, we know what we're doing, but we get reminded that we're not, we're not on the Mount Rushmore. And last night that hit me right between the eyes, skip a list, tweet it out, Drake maybe. Yeah. And I was like, God damn. Like that's a, that he stole that from cousin Sal actually. No, no, skip did that all the way back and Drake may as rookie. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. So there is a big back and forth who's got the IP to Drake. Last, last big battle on the internet. I did look deeper into that than I'm, uh, that I'm proud to say. And it does appear that skip bail is was first. He was first. I think they came up with it independently. That would be very funny if that was a, uh, like, misty and auto correct. Yeah. But Drake, I gotta go with it. Drake maybe is just, uh, just a banger of a nickname. Unfortunately. Okay. Skip. Yeah. Skip. Mm. Do you respect, skip?

I respect skip. Yeah. He's good at what he does. Troll. Um, the, the mental health article that came out, I thought it was actually pretty cool. Drake made does seem like a good guy. He drinks what like five pinnacle out of the year. Yeah. That. So he, yeah, five pinnacle out of doesn't drink beer. Doesn't drink alcohol. I, uh, as much as you want to like be like what a loser is an NFL starting quarterback. And I think if you told anyone in the world like, Hey, don't drink any beer, you'd be an NFL. No, obviously that's not why he's an NFL starting quarterback, but he's clearly doing something right. He also said it's because his dad, like, he grew up, he's like, never really saw his dad drink his older brother doesn't drink. So it's like, yeah, I was just following, you know, my role models and shout out, peanut club. I would say I'm a, I'm a Dacary guy, but getting, getting like pool or beach drunk on just Dacaries or peanut colladas is a top two experience. Can't do it every day. I do it maybe once a year, but it is a great. I did it at Max's bachelor party. He's got fucked up on some strawberry Dacaries.

Yeah. You get the mix. You get the Miami vice going. Yeah. That's just being like, you know what? I'm going to have five of these while I'm at the pool. And then I'm going to get out of the pool. I'm going to knock me all off. It's the worst, the worst hangover too. Oh, terrible. Terrible. Terrible. But in the moment, in the best spot, you have a really good time. You're basically drinking candy. You can't be upset if you've got a peanut collada glass that's got like maybe the orange slice on it and the garnish like you can't be upset with you drinking that. You said you're good time. So yeah, I got no problem with him not drinking alcohol. It has worked out really well for him. But I would like my quarterback to have a thirst for champagne. That's the difference. Good boy. Maybe add that to the repertoire. Hank, prediction on the, by the way, we should have mentioned this. We did a group bet before the season where we took all of our teams, win total overs. We adjusted some of them. So I think it ended up pulled up. It's it's all our teams, plus the chargeers for shame. And it's a group that we're going to split.

I think we put, we put a decent amount on it with draft Kings. It was, let's see, bears over seven and a half. So we, we, we, we, we, we toggle the couple of them down. There's over seven and a half, Chargers over eight and a half, bucks over six and a half, commanders over six and a half, Patriots over eight and a half, Eagles over eight and a half, Jets over four and a half. We thought it'd be a fun thing. We're gonna get a big board, track it. Someone is probably gonna screw the bet for everyone else. Hank, you immediately afterwards were wrote in the group chat like this bet, like this thing. You're like, that was, that, it's over. What was the exact thing you said? This bet is dead. This bet is dead. Yeah. It's not dead. What do you think the Patriots records gonna be? I don't know. Why are you this down about it? Did you watch the game? Like what the fuck they're talking about? The Seahawks are Super Bowl champions. Okay. That's just a fact. And bonus point for that fact. Good stat. I think it's fair to be like,

I don't know how you walk away from that gaming, like yeah, we can win 10 games. Well, you're not gonna play the Seahawks every week. I think the bigger question be what? The Seahawks would true lock. The Seahawks would do it, but the defense I'm saying. You're saying that like true lock is a pile of shit. It's a shit. Yeah, that wasn't the Seahawks would do. Do you have any existential questions right now about Drake, mate? Because it was no. The playoffs weren't great and then playoffs were going to the Super Bowl. No, no, but his play I'm saying. I can read back the stat of his last five games if you want. I'm good. He's already dead. I don't have, Dan's your question now. Okay. Dan knows. Yeah, I what I was going to try to come around to is like, I don't think you should. The Seahawks don't incredible defense. I know. Yeah. So don't be so down. Right. Max is being kind of, I mean, I'm not down on Drake, man, the team like I get like I don't know. It's week one week one is the week one. But I mean, the sea ox, that's a terrible loss. It's a terrible. Yeah, three or so like, but you keep saying like you keep.

Yeah, you keep saying like to see off sea ox. You were winning the game against Drew Locking. You got Drew Lock come back and win that football game. Terrible loss. Week one is really what you should be saying right now. Right. Not see how sea ox. Well, you guys are so fucking annoying. It's like, it was like fast forward preview for like 10 minutes. Like week one knock on over. We're totally going to. Yeah. Yeah. And it's also very much. You just you just agree with what I said. No, but like you said there. You go, you go week one. Let's say we're not going to wreck, but we're totally going to react. And then it's like I'm over reacting. You guys like, what? How could you just overreact? Like you guys are going to do the same thing. Yeah, yeah, not a good way for sure. But this is this is your friends telling you not to over yet. Yeah, we're trying to be good friends. Yeah. Okay. Thanks guys. So we're saying that you're welcome. This is what you're in that seat. You're over reacting. You're not staying alone. Yeah. Yeah. So works. Yeah. The world doesn't need to have an opinion on your favorite team. Yeah. After week one. Yeah. I'm ready to just watch more football this weekend. And then and then we'll worry about this. Remember the Vikings pairs game Monday night last year.

I was fucking down in the dumps. Yeah. I'm a question for him. Yeah, PFT. Henry. Oh, you're fucking dead naming Henry. Next week he gets the Steelers. Is that a must win game? No. Okay. Okay. Start off on two. If you lose that is Jaguars, that Jaguars of must win game. Yeah. There's some bad stats. You don't want to have to lose. And that's what I have to lose. I think Steelers is must win. Take October 18th. There's 12 o'clock noon game. Just a Patriots. Is that a must win game? Yep. That's what got to be a must win. Yeah. Yeah. We need it. We need nine. It's time to lock in. All right. The other game. 49ers. I mean, we not we are not smart people. No one's listening to the show for a football acumen. But sometimes we are smart and repeatedly saying it makes no sense what the Rams are planning

on doing, flying in the table before and the 49ers have been there for a week and a half. Turns out to be exactly correct because the Rams looked awful. Super team. They looked so bad. Pooper team. Pooper team. Stafford looked off and credit to the Niners. The Niners like their blocking scheme was was awesome to deal with the Rams front. They Brock. Party. He had one doi doi play. But other than that, like he looked like great Brock. Party where he was, you know, extending plays in the pocket, making, you know, big time throws the touchdown pass to to Marcus Robinson. Yeah. The Niners are that eyes are good team. Like I don't know. We probably didn't give them enough love going into the season just because they time and time again. They have the top end talent. It's like can they stay healthy? They had a couple more injuries tonight, struggling. I think is out. That looks like an Achilles, but super team super team off to a bad start turns out.

Maybe you shouldn't try to beat time. So here's the thing. It was a terrible idea that Sean McVeigh tried to do. But I have to respect how much of an all time fuck it move it was. Yeah. To just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what? Fuck it. We're not going to adapt. We're going to fly in fly out. Fuck it. Not only to pretend the time zones don't exist, but to pretend that a 15 hour flight has no effect on a body. No effect whatsoever. Like I take a three hour flight and I'm like, I feel like shit. They 15 hour flight and you play a football game less than a day and a half later. 15 hour flight with no Wi-Fi. Is that true? There's no Wi-Fi on that jet. Yeah. Do they do that on purpose so people would sleep? I think that you had to do a trade off and the jet that they got is like the most comfortable. Yeah. They had all the lay flat ones, but that particular model of plane does not have Wi-Fi. Also, I have a question because I know a lay flat like I'm a larger man, but I'm not an NFL football player.

I barely fit in the lay flats. How did any of these guys fit in the lay like how did an offensive lineman fit in the lay flat? Maybe just like a blow up mattress that you put in the aisle. Yeah, I guess. I don't know. But yeah, that's a fair point because I mean, I got to be honest, the lay flats I fit perfectly. Yeah, that's like a snug as a bug. 100% like a glove. Yeah, no, when I do the lay flat, it's like either my head is touching the wall or my feet or like, you know, bed. Yeah, I can't imagine. I can't do both. I can't imagine that Matt Stafford who had to like sleep in a med bed outside the Rams facility and training camp last year. Yeah, he could have loved that. He probably didn't enjoy the old back, probably didn't enjoy that. But yeah, terrible idea by Sean McVeigh. We knew it because I guess we're not that stupid where we can figure out, yeah, you probably should try to acclimate a little bit. That said, I think it's going to be better for them on the back end than it is for the Niners who right now will have to fly back and then get reaclimated to United States time. Yeah, I don't think the Rams are going to have to do that.

So yeah, you kind of like trade one for the other, but this was, it was kind of a no doubt. The Niners looked much, much better. Their run game is always going to be awesome. It was awesome. The, the, the dump offs to McCaffrey, the short passing game was great. Debo looked fast as shit. He did physical. It was great seeing Kittle out there. Yes. That first hit that he took. You could see like some relief when he got hit the first time and he bounced back up. He was like, okay, I'm back in and out. Yeah. It's kind of crazy that George Kittle, by the way, and we're obviously very biased because we love him to death. But he, it's crazy. He tore his Achilles and he missed four quarters of football. He tore his Achilles in January. He missed one game. Yeah. Because he, he won game. He missed the, the game against the Seahawks. Yeah. It's fucking nuts. You give the substation to him credit. Yeah. Maybe it's not all that he's just an absolute beast. But yeah, the, uh, there was a couple, there are a couple injuries in this game in Australia tonight and there's got to be no worse feeling in the world than having to fly back 15 hours

with like a torn Achilles shoot, shoot me like a horse. That would be, I'm not coming back. Boys aren't coming back. Unless they give you like you get the good stuff before you get on the plane. Yeah. Then he falls asleep. But still, they, they, they usually don't let you fly if you've got like a, uh, recently broken bone. Right. If you're swelling up, they won't let you do it. Now, that's got it. That's by far the worst flight home, I would say would be Landman who looked like he, he fucked up as far. Yeah. I got a question for you, PFT. Are we going to, if the 49ers lose week two in the Rams win or we're going to say the Rams maybe got it right because that was part of it. Yeah. That it's going to be hard for the 49ers to adjust back. The Rams will be able to get right back in there because they never changed time zones. The Rams are, the 49ers also do get to play the dolphins. And then I think the Rams have the Cardinals, the Giants, the Giants, the 49ers have dolphins and Cardinals. So the 49ers could, should be a three and O T. They could be. Um, I think it's really going to fuck with them going back. Uh, but they have, but they have some time. They got a little bit time to, to maybe more times to play the dolphins.

I, I think that's, that's probably more likely what this case was. And that's Sean McPhase saying one game. I'm not, this is one game. It's, it's a stupid expansion thing. But it's not, it's, it's one game, but it's a divisional game. It does count. Pretty fucking important. It does count. So, uh, especially when you have a division that, you know, last year came down to all three teams were in it until the last two weeks of the season, right? Right. That's not a divisional game isn't nothing. I don't think that Stafford looked great tonight. In fact, I think he looked pretty bad for most of the game. Yeah. Uh, I am willing to chalk a lot of that up to the 15 hours on a plane. Yeah. Yeah. But super team, that status, my ass, super team, my ass, maybe on hold a little bit. Miles Garrett absent this game. Mm-hmm. I don't think he even played much of the second half at all. Yeah. Kilometers Garrett as they call him in Australia. Aaron Donald, smartest guy ever. Yep. Coming back. There was a guy on the Niners that got cut after he made it to Australia.

Or he just maybe moved to the pitch squad. Squad, okay. Yeah. Yeah, but that's fine because the Niners were there for so long. Like I saw guys in tracksuits on the Niners sideline. And at first I was like, why the fuck are they there? And then I remembered, oh, they've been there for a week and a half. Rams, that would be devastating. That'd be pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah. They should have actually brought like the, if the Rams were smart, they should have brought a coach. They were planning on firing anyway. That would have rocked and just been like, you know, leave them over there. I also would like to talk to you because like Schrager, I think, said this, the Rams sent a couple scouts over the summer to like test run this. I've got the exact quote right here. I would like to talk to these people. Yeah. Two years. Yeah, he said, uh, two years. This isn't some trial and error approach. They've sent 15 staffers over the last two years and have tracked their bodies and sleeper of them. That's, that's an insane pun. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. You think what I'm thinking? Oh, God, I couldn't even get the P word out of my mouth.

Punishment. You wouldn't do that. I mean, if we all agreed to. So what would it be? You have to fly the Australia. You can't just stay there for one day. You do the Rams trip. You do the Rams trip. No, why find the plan? Oh, I think we'd have to do why find the plan. We'd have to like update. I don't know. Would we? Or first of all. They left Tuesday. They left Tuesday and they, they're getting back when I don't know. Like, I'm thinking about episodes, although it would be funny if you had to do the episode from Australia or from the one day you were in Australia. Yeah. I mean, no, leave third. It would be leave Thursday, come back Sunday. Yeah. I do leave some Thursday. I don't know how. Let's not get into the night. Yeah, we can't do that right now. But let's put it on the table and we can discuss later. I think that it was also, I, I felt like I was feeling some of the Rams pain because we watched it at night here and that game was so goddamn bright.

Yeah. Yeah. That was the brightest son that I've seen and I felt game in a long time. I felt like I got jet lag just from watching the game. Yeah. It was weird. It was also I, I saw 57 degrees. It's like, man, that's, that's good. That's good shit. We're going to about to have that. Yeah. That's a fall day. Do we have to have concerts at every standalone game now? Is that a rule? Yeah, I think so. We also flagged Cuckedum. ours was just a little bit bigger. It was bigger and then I liked it. The, the people in the stands were wearing like a merit. They all got into the shape of an American flag for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. And also that stadium was just the worst stadium ever football. Yeah. You're so far away. So far away. Yeah, the cricket ground. Yeah. So if you're in the first level, you're just can't see anything. So good job, Roger. Thanks so much. We grew the game today a little bit. Yeah, we did. Seven, seventh biggest game NFL history. What? Seven full of people in attendance. Oh, wow. Okay. Let's go. We did it.

Now, if you're going to have a game in Australia, I feel like this is, this was the opportunity for ACDC to play half time. Mm-hmm. Great. History made. Football's back, boys. 100,000 people. Before we get into our week, one picks and pre we're going to go through every game. Barry Melrose, we should mention Legend of the game passed away. Very sad. He was the face of hockey. Like, yeah. Through and through. There were a long time. Just the swaggiest, coolest guy you see on TV seemed like everyone, you know, the stories that come out. He seemed like the best guy. There were years where ESPN had had no business or broadcasting interest in hockey whatsoever. Yeah. And they would still bring Barry on to talk a little about because he was that captivating. Seems like a great guy. Never got a chance to meet him. But yeah. Mount Rushmore of TV Mullets for sure. Absolutely. And yeah, just an all-time hockey guy. So it's very sad.

I feel like he was, he was hockey to a lot of people growing up in the United States. And didn't necessarily come from a hockey town. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Should we get to our week, week one picks and preview and then we have Scott Hansen. Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. Before we get to picks and preview for week one, Draft Kings. The weight is over.

How's everyone feel I'm feeling really good. It's the best time of year. This is bar none the best time of year. Everything's possible. Everything's on the table. The highest expectations for you guys. Your team could go undefeated. Yes for Hank. But theoretically most people's teams could go undefeated. Not you or Max. No they can't. We can't think tie you could tie. Yeah true good point. Yeah. You could tie. Checkmate. You get a point for a tie. I think Jake Marsha actually had his tie. Oh okay. Yeah Max honestly I'll offer you a draw. Yeah. I will not take that. Alright. By the way PFT thank you for the gifts you got me. You're welcome. I will be wearing it on Sunday. I went I was I mentioned this before but sometimes early in the morning if you catch me if somebody sends me a product or something comes across like a targeted ad. If it's before I get out of bed I am extremely impulsive when my purchases early in the morning. So I got you the Caleb and Ben Johnson t-shirt and then I got Hank the Patriots stone cold Steve Austin.

Yeah. The Caleb and Ben Johnson by the way is like a weird mashup where it's Ben Johnson giving the finger so I think that's the dick of finger but then Caleb smoking a cigarette which is the cutler cigarette. Yeah yeah it's all over the place. It's kind of just like there's a little it's almost like a Taylor Swift song where there's Easter eggs to bears past. Yeah it's all over the place so you know just a little something to get the boys back into the NFL spirit. I'm very much looking forward to on Sunday morning the text hopefully we get it again from from boom. Oh yeah. That mean Big Cat Cat which is just basically wishing us a happy NFL season. Yeah. That's one of the highlights of my year but I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. We got to figure out the TV we'll get what we're going to go through every game where the games are going to be. Should we give ourselves a little warning and I'm not going to listen to my own warning but don't over react to week one. I don't agree to that. Yeah no I don't either. I'm just telling me as right now we're sitting here at Thursday morning comes Sunday night when we're recording this show. I will absolutely over react but if if anyone wants to like you know he'd my advice from

past me don't over react. I was looking at it last year week one we had the Patriots loose the Raiders. The Raiders went on to be the worst team in the league. Yeah. And the Patriots went to the Super Bowl. Maybe that'll happen to the Seahawks this year and then the Patriots go right back. Yeah don't over react. How about you guys remember there was a shootout. In the metal lands the Jets and the Steelers played in a shootout and we thought oh my God 3432 that was one of the most exciting games we watched week one like Justin Fields Aaron Rogers this is going to be these teams are going to be awesome to watch. Yeah that didn't turn out to be the case it was a sliding doors moment that was a memes could have had an awesome season last year if they won that game. Yeah and then on that Monday night game week one so this is why I'm really bringing up because it's a message to myself. JJ McCarthy beat kill Williams and it looked like JJ McCarthy was going to be the Vikings future and now he's QB3 for the Vikings. Correction.

JJ McCarthy lost the first three quarters against the Bears nine beat the Bears in the fourth quarter. But the point is week one there will be some weird shit that happens week one will look back and be like wow that was that was fucking bizarre. If you were to draw it up on a map how would you plan out where your team would play in week one because I think I think the correct answer is right down the dick of Sunday 12 o'clock 1 p.m. Games. Yeah but the Bears have it this year. Yeah Bears at Panthers. Yeah. Noon game. Yeah just buried in couldn't connoisseur better nestled in there. It's kind of like spot. You're in a cozy spot. It's like a nice warm blanket of all the other games wrapped around like in terms of the national audience. The Bears are somewhere between like the third and fifth most exciting game and that's in that window. Not one to so perfect. I would not want to be first. I wouldn't want to be I wouldn't want to be first I wouldn't be last. Yeah you don't want the Monday night game that's that's tough to you also don't want like the bills and Texans that noon game like they are the premier noon game. Yep.

You don't want to be game of the week. I don't think you want to be Sunday night either because then you're surrounded by a bunch of people that have just won potentially and then now all eyes on you and the story is you. Yeah the story is you at that point for an entire Monday. I think I think game of the week Sunday afternoon not great. Not a great spot to be but it could be worse. Yeah. Not great. I think you want to know you want to know to get the team that you have no like you you you want to know that's exactly I have like enough to get like a little bit excited because like you know the Panthers were in the playoffs last year. Yeah. So like I'm worried about this game. I think the Panthers are going to be like a decent team. I'm not saying that the Bears are going to win this game, but it's not I don't know any Panthers fans in my life. I don't like there's no they're not in the vision. Not a vision. Yeah, I'm excess true. And the the guy who sings who's fucking awesome. If I had him. Oh yeah, yeah, I got stuff. Steph Curry. Yeah. That's basketball player ever from Akron. That is true. I actually did meet him member at Tahoe when Marty fish was like, hey, this is big cat and he was like, oh, what's up?

And then you just walked away. Yeah. So I do know Steph Curry. Your friend. You're a good friend. Yeah. Yeah. Just kid from Akron. Yeah. I have each team's week one record since 2000. Do you guys want to guess who's number one and who's dead last best week one team in the NFL? I'm a 2000. I could I could maybe make a better guess if it was since 2020. But I'll just go with those same teams that I would have guessed in the last six or so years. I'll say the fluffy Eagles. They are number one. All right. 18 and eight. Let's go Max. I mean, in nine, I actually don't know if there's been updated since last night. So it might be 17 and 10. Okay. All right. Good to know. And then, oh, that's right. They lost. Yeah. For the worst. This one should be in week one. I think. I'm going to guess the Bengals. No. The Cleveland Browns. No. Three and 22 and one. What? Fucking joke. That's crazy. They were joke of a city. Three times in week one since 2000.

That's crazy. And they keep going. Bad lesson. I love, I love Browns fans. By the way, we should give a little context here. Hank is a little extra salty. We obviously already talked about the Patriots game, but he did text this morning being like, I'm injured. I'm not coming in because the Patriots lost. And my assistant Dom, who is a die hard Cleveland all Ohio Cleveland sports fan replied, which is very uncharacteristic of him. Replyed to the entire group chat text with the rock, give saying shut up bitch. Yeah. Very out of character for. He knows it's all get there often, but I don't think that there's been a more liked message in the group chat. Oh, great. I like instantly everybody just slammed it. Dom has been feeling himself a little bit recently. Well, it's because they haven't the Browns haven't had the right game yet. That's it. It's gone. It's gone. This is last week. Oh, no. Oh, I saw him. He went up to Max the other day and he he braided Max. He told Max to lock in because Max didn't know the Sixers preseason schedule.

Oh, if you're going to take if if I'm giving you LeBron, if you're now in Adam and he's here as I need you to take better care of him and to know the preseason schedule, Max. He was really mad. He was like, that's going to be the first time and he's right. Take care of his boy. It's going to be the first time you see LeBron in a Sixers uniform. You got to be locked in on the preseason. Yeah. Oh, man. I didn't say whatever. Yeah. But yeah, so shut up bitch. Shut up bitch. Yeah. Yeah. Listen. I was opening day. He was yelling at me for not knowing NBA preseason. Yeah, he's fired up. Yeah. And it's an opening day until the Browns play. They're like, they're going to be what three, they're at least third to last place. The problem that you have Max and this is this is mostly my fault. I told I told Dom like six months ago. I said, do not talk to me about LeBron. So he's got to talk to someone else about him. So he's just, I know I'm happy. I'm happy to have him now. I was like, we're not a LeBron show. I don't know that he's an ally though.

He's like an over involved ex. Yeah. That's like Jess making sure that you know how she likes, you know, she likes her baths not too hot but kind of hot. He's a he's a he's a helicopter mom trying to go out for like a dinner and telling the babysitter like, oh, no, no, don't do that. Like, she's crazy. She likes her feet rub before bed Max. If you can, you know, take care of my girl. Oh, do not let, do not let him eat that pirates booty. I didn't. You looked at the back. I need to know these things though. Okay, let's do the games. First up, I think this will be a prominently displayed game because it's one of the best. I, you guys agree, Bill's Texans is going to be the main TV. But this one's going to be a fun game. Tampa Bay Buckeneers at Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals are minus three and a half over under 50 and a half. Baker Mayfield got paid. Is that good or bad? Because obviously it's good. We're Baker show. We're happy you got paid. I'm just saying is it good or bad because now he might not have the same chip on his shoulders.

I don't think that that's going to be the factor for Baker. I don't know. I, you know what it is? They did a secret extension. I know. So they were working on behind the scenes. Baker didn't know about it. His agent like kind of kept it from a little bit. I don't know why that, that all went down that way. But I, I think that since there was a secret extension, Baker just might be like, oh, you didn't think I could handle knowing how the negotiation we're going to go. Yeah. And sometimes agents will do this in the NFL. They don't want to over inform the players about how it's going because some of the offers might be, it might not feel good to hear what the, the low ball offers are at the beginning until you get to the final number. So Baker's like, what am I a child? You don't think I could handle knowing what was going on back and forth? You're the adults are talking. Yeah. So now Baker might be just pissed off at his agent and at the, at the bucks for not having him informed. And again, this is just Baker trying to find someone to be pissed off. You got to find something. Got to find something. I think if you look at these two teams, recent history, Bengals, very slow starters, but they started to an O last year. Yep. So like, I know that that is a narrative.

And I think I'm actually going to go against that narrative now because I, the fact they started to an O last year, the fact that they played their starters at least somewhat in the preseason, which they hadn't been doing. And that was part of the part of Joe Burrow started slow. And also Joe Burrow has just been injured so many times that I think this is the first time he's had an offseason where he didn't have to deal with something. Remember, he had the foot, he talked about, he's like, I'm going to use my legs again. Like, I feel 100%. That has to count for something. The fact that he's finally had a clean off season, not an off season of rehabbing, getting ready. Everything that goes into it had a full camp. He had a full camp. Got a full camp going. Zach, how are you feeling about this game? I feel good about the game. Baker has pumped up in the press conference yesterday. I'm excited to stay with the team. So I'm not too worried about him getting paid leading to like a lull in the season. A lot of guys are healthy, ready to hit the field. I feel good about the game. I was high and I am high on Joe Burrow this season, but I would like to see him being a bucket here as obviously to feed them. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm going to bet the Bengals because I think three and a half is

probably too much, but I'm just, I expect the Bengals to come out to start the season better than they have. And again, they started to an O last year. It was a close win against the Browns. I remember that weird Jaguars game. I just, I think they put a lot of focus on it and it does feel like one of those years where it's like everyone's kind of everything's on the table for the Bengals. Like they, yeah, if things don't go well, is Joe Bergenstey. I know he said that he wants to stay is, you know, T Higgins, Zach Taylor, all this stuff. So if you look at the Bengals, they do have that recent history and if you look at the point total, I believe they're one in five to the over. So I guess that'd be five and one to the under in week ones recently. And they are one in five against the spread season open. So a lot of that does have to do with the fact of injuries. Yeah. And just they're notoriously. Yeah. They started to get off to and then the box. I'm sure you've heard Steven Chase say this, but Todd Bowles for no week one as a head

coach. They've won, they've won five consecutive. So it even goes back to Bruce Ariens. But yes, he has said that to me very, uh, ton of time very much. Yeah. The one thing I am looking at like this, the total of this game, it feels like it's too early in the season to have that high of a total. I agree. Uh, but I am also nervous. I, I do think both of these defenses are going to be bet like we saw at the end of last year, the box defense kind of fell off a cliff. I think they're going to be better. And I, the Bengals defense got better at the end of the year and they added extra Lawrence. I think that's going to be better than people realize. Cause that's, you know, you can always just say, oh, the Bengals defense sucks. I think that's kind of a slightly dated narrative. I expect them to be more middle of the pack, uh, defenses here. Yeah. How is Rubin Bain feeling right now? Probably good. Because that's a guy. I, if I were to pick like a defensive rookie of the year, I think I'm looking at Bain right now. And that might also just be co-because I really don't want the Cowboys to have found the safety of the future. But, uh, Bain, I feel like is just a monster waiting to play.

Yeah. I agree. All right. So, uh, we, we can say Zach. Rumbains ready to inflict pain. Yeah. You said that right? You can say that. But I'm in the clips. I can see it in his mannerism. Good. Yeah. Good. You can see it. Also, David Bailey exists. Yeah. I knew I saw you memes talking with the mic, not on being like, what about Dave Bailey? Well, our Val Reese. Well, I did, I did, I saw a headline on, uh, on Joe Box fan that just said Rubin Bain wants to create a new level of football. Oh, shit. So that's terrifying. That's fucking terror. I'm kind of happy with the current level of football we have right now. But if it's created like Rubin Bain, it's probably going to be violent. So, Simon, yeah, it's wearing the Bain face mask so he could turn to a villain. Yeah. A new level of football will be awesome. That's what they said about Travis Hunter too, right? Like he's going to change the entire sport. Yeah. Hank, is the, are the box part of your hungry dog? Nope. What are you doing? Just getting ready. That's prep. I'm doing the hungry dog as we saw. Oh, I love it. All right. Will you let us know as soon as you have it? Yeah. Okay. Uh, next up, Saints at Lions. I'm going to have a mindset of over under 49 and a half.

I was thinking about this. This is one of those weird matchups. I don't have any memories of the Saints playing at the Lions and then I looked it up. Yeah, I do. 2020 was the last time they played Saints at Lions. Do you know who the leading wrestler for the Lions was? Yeah. Because this one shocked me and I had memory hold the whole thing. 2020. It was Stafford versus Drew Brees. I remember the game. 2020 Saints at Lions. Who is the leading wrestler for the Detroit Lions? Adrian Peterson. Yes. Bang. Fucking insane. I just forgot. I know he jumped around to a million. Oh, there you go. Get the high five. I never get those right. Yeah, that was great. I had completely forgot that he was because he jumped around to so many teams at the end. And also, I think he was leading wrestler with like 34 yards. So it wasn't exactly a memorable performance. But yeah, these teams, I don't have many memories of them playing in Detroit. So they have played 27 times in the all time series. Okay.

The Saints at the Lions. Right now, it's tied 13, 13 and one. Oh, wow. So maybe Grudge match. Huge Grudge. Grudge match of the week. It is also a dang Campbell. Not really revenge game, but he used to coach for the Saints. Yeah. It's a game. It's a game. It's a game. Every game is a revenge game. Like two likeable enough teams. I think if you're not in the same division as either one of these, you don't have a problem with either team or on Game Ball Watch right now for Kellen Moore. So he's probably, what do you say? Like he gives out, was it six or seven, eight Game Balls against him? Yes. I'm trying to remember the interview we're hanging for. How many, how many Game Balls he gave away? What do you don't understand? The Pelkins facility was right there. It was right there. It was right next door. Also, if you saw the chair. Hey, get in the mix here. What do you got? What do you want? I'm trying to poke you. We're trying to poke you. You were trying to get you up. Let us poke it you up. I'm here. It's week one, dude. Yeah, I'm excited. Get Paul's back. Paul's so fucking back. Okay. Jared Goff, Dome. Yep. He doesn't play a cold weather game until late December.

Week 17 at the pairs. I also, I feel like the line, I'm high on the lines this year. Yep. And part of the reason why I'm high on the lines is that like before the season is starting, the biggest quote I could find about this game and like from Lions Camp was Jared Goff talking about his trip to the Detroit Zoo with his daughter. I love that. That's actually a good place to be in as a team. He said, I was blown away by how many animals they have and how big it is. The tiger was cool right there on the glass. The polar bear, the grizzly bears are massive. I was shocked. Maybe I underestimated the capabilities of Detroit Zoo. Yeah. Don't do that. Wow. Underestimate that zoo at your own peril. Yeah. I think he just was. Had he had Jared ever been to a zoo before? I don't I think he in his mind. I don't want to disparage Jared. I'm gonna text him. I'm gonna ask him if he'd ever been to his zoo. But this is I think it might be flashbacks to you remember 2016 when he he wasn't aware that the sun rose in the east and set in the west on the docks. In his mind, I could I could see him thinking that the only animals they'd have at the Detroit

Zoo would be like animals that you would find in nature and Michigan. Yeah. Like, oh look, they got they got the black squirrels here. I also will say Jared Goff is a Cali kid. I feel like they don't. Besides San Diego, I feel like Cali kids, they just go out. They go outside. Yeah, they don't go to zoos. Yeah. And also what what we can say isn't like San Diego. I said besides San Diego. That is the best. I got a lock in. You got a lock in. But you can't say you can't say California. Yeah, I have the biggest. I agree. If you're from California, you should in theory know that like San Diego, it rocks, bro. But you can't. But you can't. York Albrose are so different than so Calbrose. There's like one zoo that I know and it happens to be in California. Right. So you can't just like, you know, you know, you got a face there. You know one zoo. You only know like one like famous zoo. You know lots of zoo. I got the sense in Adi Zoo because of her own way. Yeah, you know, we talked about like mile away. We like the one he's used on this spot. I know I'm saying like nationally recognize zoos.

Brox zoo. Brox zoo. How about that? Yeah. Brox is brilliant. That's local zoo. That's an author. Zootopia. That's a movie. Yeah. You know, that's probably. Sounds like you know it. Zoolander. Oh, that's also a movie. Madagascar. Mark Zootopia. Mark who? Mark Zootopia. Mark Zootopia. Sixers legend legendary broadcaster. I'll update you if Jared text me back, but he died. I was blown away by how many animals they have and how big it is. Tiger was cool right there in the glass of polar bear. The grizzly bears are massive. I was shocked. That is first. That's me. I'm going to be more NFL teams taking group trips to the zoo. Yeah. Before the things get you can learn learn a lot from those animals. By the way, last thing on this game, we are obviously laddering Tyler shock. Yep. Oh, yeah. Oh, 100%. I'm sorry to the moon. Tyler shock. I'm also I'm very high on the lines this year. Yeah, I mean, they're they're schedule is they should be a team that's in the playoffs.

I think they probably win the NFC North in theory. This is like and the lines are as healthy as they're going to be all season. Well, and they they were the teeth. They were the snake bitten team. Lash are lost a bunch of games that were like how the fuck did they lose that game? Yeah, I think they're going to be really good. Are the lions on Crosby watch? Oh, interesting. Didn't even think about that. Like what do what do they have to do to get to get Crosby interest and go into the lions? And I guess it's not really up to him. I mean, it would have to be the Raider spike. Yeah, I don't know what their pick situation is either how many picks they would be booing the trade. All I'm saying is there are I think them and maybe the Cowboys might be on Crosby watch. I had a dream last night. This is the Crosby show. We'll call it isn't me really pathetic to say out loud. I had a dream last night that the Bears traded Tyson Baygent first the Seahawks first round pick. Fleast. I was like, damn, I like Tyson Baygent, but God of fucking do that. Honestly, Fleast. I'm just going to say that I'm going to be a little bit more specific. All right, next up, Jetset Titans.

Titans minus 1 1 1 half over under 38 1 1 1 1 2, the Robert Salah revenge game. Memes. I know he said we weren't going to do over reactions. Yeah. I think this is the biggest game of Aaron Glend's life. Okay. No, that's not an overreaction. That's a, it's because not a reaction. True. It's the game hasn't happened yet. Yeah, I think he needs to prove that he can coach better than the guy he replaced. It's a, it's a pre-action. Yeah, it's a pre-action. You're over pre-acting right now. And will you think that it's the biggest game of his life if they lose or if they win or both both? He needs, he needs to win the game. No matter what happens, it's going to be the biggest game of his life. Yeah, because if they lose, then in all Jets fans heads, it's like we, we just replaced Bob with a guy who's worse than him and Bob's not a good coach. So we just have a bad coach. Yeah, right. This, this, so losing the locker room potentially.

Both of these teams, losing the fan lock. Yeah, both of these teams obviously are not expected to be in the playoffs. You never know what happens in NFL season. This might be the most important game of week one because there's the level of like, there could be a devastating loss here if one team gets blown out. I do think that which, like that's devastating. Whichever team loses, they might immediately go into tank line. Right. Like, right off the bat. Because they're both eyeing each other being like, we're not as bad as you. We're not as bad as you. It's going to be a wake up call for whoever loses this game. Yeah. It's a really, really like, like you, in a weird way, you would rather start the season playing the Ravens. And it's like, well, we never going to win that game. We can still have a long seat. You play the Titans. It's, it's very similar to Raiders Dolphins. That's a staring match of like whoever loses that game, like you stink, buddy. Yeah. No, season's probably over if you lose the Titans. Yeah. I think they're thinking the exact same thing about, about the Gets. There's only a handful of teams out there that when their logo pops up on your schedule,

you're happy to see those logos. And I think this is two matchups of two teams that are very happy to see each other's logos. And I count myself in that, in that handful of teams as well. But yeah, you can't lose this game, he means. And you have to get a pick too. There's no better chance, no better venue to get a pick than against cam ward. The defense feels good, like it should be better. You got it, you set the tone. I always forget that we didn't have an interception last year. Yeah. Well, no, you don't because you bring it up all the time. Yeah, true. It is the first. I feel like you guys bring it up. No, but he brings it up a lot too. Yeah, it's a crazy stat. Literally when they got the preseason interception, he's like, yeah, we got an interception. Yeah, it's fired up. A bunch of interceptions. Yeah. If our memes guy was not memes and our memes guy was a fan of a different team, I think that individual probably be encouraged to make a lot of stats that said things like this is the first week one game of a team that intercepted zero passes last year. Like everything they do for the first time this season, that was the first time out by

a team that intercepted zero passes in 2025. I think that would probably happen if it wasn't you, memes. Yeah, probably. I might have some in my drafts that are like that, but the good thing you got going for you memes is the Titans have their new jerseys. And I think like whenever you wear a new jersey, I don't take you as a real football team for a few weeks. You know, like this is a made up team. But maybe sneak them. What if everything's different in these jerseys? I thought about that. Yeah, true. I took the Jets in my survivor league. It's ballsy. You like that memes? I love it. Yeah, the Jets are going to be good. I kind of like the Jets this week too. I love the Jets this week. I love the Jets this week. Oh man. No, no, we all love the Jets. I have my most boring stat of the week. Okay. You ready for this? Do do do do do do. No, that's too exciting of a sound. We got to think of more boring sound for the most boring stat of the week. Okay.

The Tennessee Titans are traveling 18,157 miles this year. Whoa. What did you get like a magazine with like the information on teams traveling? This is your new? No, I literally saw one graphic of travel stats this year. So I actually compared that to last year for the Titans and for the Patriots. We're going to get even more boring. Yeah, no, no, no. But if you did this for a lot of teams. No, it was literally these two. The Tennessee Titans total travel distance in 2025 was 18,157 miles. All right, that's crazy. They're traveling the exact same amount of miles. That's why back years. That's why that's pretty fucking wild. That's why I apologize for doubting the stat. That's not it. That's not a boring stat. I didn't say it was boring. PFT did. No, you apologize to yourself. I'd like to apologize to the listeners for underselling just how exciting that stat would be. Play the sound again, big cat. Pretty good stat. Okay, me, you're going to win this game.

I think there's a top three game of the week. Um, okay, disagree. I think for you. No, I think for everybody. Just like last year, it's going to be the same thing. Okay, sell this on it. High scoring. Yep. Both defenses could be bad. Yep. That's pretty much it. I'm seeing more than more than two games that are better. Name them chief sprangos. No, Patrick Holmes wash. Okay, Texans bills. Defense defensive game, probably like 13, 10, final score. Okay, box bangles. Great game. That's one. Vikings Packers. Yeah. Dan, another low scoring game. Commander's Eagles. For the podcast, great. All right, we're done doing this. Ravens by his three and a half at the Colts over under 47 and a half. The Baltimore Ravens, Lamar Jackson is 26 against the spread on turf in his career.

Mm-hmm. If you want a stat, that's a good stat. I'm, I'm high on the Ravens this year. We do have a brotherly battle going on. Did you guys see this? Declan Doyle, new OC for the Baltimore Ravens. His brother, younger brother, Dylan Doyle is the Colts defensive quality control coach. And when they asked him about it, Declan said, they haven't talk, he hasn't talked to Dylan for a while. So I love my brother, but it is what it is. That feels a little, a little much for a week one game where your, your brother's not even the defensive coordinator. Yeah, I don't know about that. We haven't talked in a while like we're like, we can't talk, we, we, we have to end this relationship. Enemies. Yeah. No, you're defensive quality control. No relation to Jack Doyle from the Colts. I'm assuming. I don't think so. Different Doyle family. Yes. Yeah. I mean, Lamar Jackson loves playing on turf. He loves playing at the Colts as well. Yep. It's a good stadium for him to run around. Also, I believe with Lou Anna Rumo defenses, Lamar Jackson tends to feast in the past.

So I, I like the Colts. I am high on the Colts this year. I don't know about week one though. Yeah. I think I might be taking the Ravens in this one, but also I believe that there is a new, this is our Colts that just came out from Seth DeFlow, Erskins. Okay. And he's got a very special guest. What do you say? Do we want to listen to it? Yeah. It literally just came out. He's been teasing it all week. All right, guys, ready? Yeah. Yeah. It's the Perville varsity club. Oh my god. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. I love it.

So that was the outside Perville varsity glee club. Okay. Those guys get a lot of pussy. We just got done telling you that we like the Ravens in this. I might flip. What? What Max? Did you guys know you could go JV and Glee? Wait, it's JV. This is the varsity. Oh, yeah. True. True. The implication. Yeah. Freshman. Those guys actually probably do clean off. I'm not lying. I'm not lying. Like they definitely clean up at a place like Purdue. It's like Purdue has everything is the opposite. Yeah, but they yeah, they might clean up more than the football. I agree. I appreciate Purdue is like 85% male. It's you got that for me. It's like 60%. I have maybe made it seem like. I definitely have that. Yes. I made it seem like it's like all an all-male college. But I think these guys do. I think these guys are the cock of the walk. I'm looking at the glee club in the background. It's all dudes. In the glee club. Yeah, but you don't think there's groupies? There might be like a female.

Oh, there's groupies. What are the corral? I guess if it's horses, yes. But then they step with the female club. The she club. Yeah. The I have a headache club. Okay. 59%. Yeah. So yeah, I'm basically 85%. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm glad that we watched this because I think I'm changing my pick to the cold. Okay. Yeah. Also, before we started taping, I did log on to the Colts website because I was not sure if I had season tickets or not. Ah, do not have season tickets. Okay, good. Good. So we don't have to give any tickets. Are you sure? Yeah, I mean, I just looked at my account. I got a lot of Vacran season tickets. Yeah, I just got Akron parking passes in my mailbox. No one comes up. Fuck about Akron. Or wants to go to the football games. Oh, god. Yeah, that's more shots. It's on. Did you guys see we had our quarter of the week? Wanna get the quarter of the week sound tank? Brent Britain. Whoa, okay. There's the parentheses.

Okay, okay. Quarter of the week comes... We should have put that in the audiobook. That was a deaf child. Was that like... Was there open parentheses or closed parentheses? I was opening and clothing. It was like, parenth... Parent to... Okay, all right. We'll open it before he gives... Quarter of the week. This is Quarter of the week from Rhoquan Smith. He said, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense can beat defenses with their run game or go bombs over Baghdad. Actually, it's not the Quarter of the week. It's a clarification. It's a clarification of the week. Can you give us a sound for that? Great sound. It's a clarification of the week. So Rhoquan Smith said we can beat defenses with their run game or go bombs over Baghdad. Then he later clarified, he was referencing military history, not outcast lore. So I don't know, he was actually talking about literal bombs over Baghdad. That was the close one. Yeah.

For anyone who's getting confused. He could have been talking about Andre Spie Thousand and not Colin Powell. Yes. So not great song, because he was talking about the actual... It is a great song. Yeah, but he was talking about the... There's your clarification of the week. I just love that he's like, just so we're clear, guys. The very popular song that would make this lighthearted and very fun. We're not talking about that. We're talking about death and war. Yeah, I like this from a defensive player. Good clarification from a defensive player. If this came from running back, offensive lineman wide receiver, I'd be like, that's kind of fucked up. What's going on? But the fact that he plays a position he plays, I think it's helpful that he meant war. Yeah, really, really helpful. All right, before we get some more games. PFT, what's about King's wine real quick? I'd love to talk about King's favorite. It's the best. What do you think is the toughest part of football season? It used to be figuring out what to eat on game day. But not this year, thanks to King's Hawaiian. It's the best slider in football. They have it all from original Hawaiian sweet

to savory butter and pretzel sliders. You can literally make anything on them and you know it's going to be delicious. I personally love the original Hawaiian sweet. They make the best buffalo chicken sliders. And I make the best bacon cheeseburger sliders on their original slider rolls. You crush about a dozen every Sunday. Hank! They even have a salty version just for you. Oh, awesome. You could make a ham and cheese slider on the pretzel slider buns. That sounds delicious. You're a salty guy. You'd love them. And I love ham. I go ham. Whenever you're craving King's Hawaiian is the best slider in football for a reason. The elevate game day, there's sure to be a crowd pleaser. So before next game day, go pick up King's Hawaiian and make the best slider in football and make it all season long. Okay, you guys ready to get back some more games? It's just so much fun talking ball. I'm just so excited reading like all this stuff and just getting excited about everything. It's a lot and I'm so happy for it. I'm so happy for us. I can't wait for the... I love this for us. For that moment. It's every year at 1220.

When we're in the middle, we got all the games going and we're just going to be overwhelmed by football. We should take a picture five minutes before and just say, I love this for us. Yeah. Yeah, I'm booked in business this weekend. All right, Falcons at Steelers, Steelers minus three and a half, Over Under is 42 and a half, two, two, uh... There's some new news coming out about two. I saw it was a Florio. It was a Florio. It was a Florio. On the eve of the season opener, Florio takes to the airwaves and puts out a report that if things don't go well for two, or even as early as week one, he might get cut. That is not a good spot for two to start the season that is under threat of his job before he takes a snap for the Falcons. No. So two, uh, is... It's... Actually, if you want to spin zone it, it's like, maybe this is a... Maybe this is a good way. It's like almost a Mr. Beast challenge. Like, be good at quarterback or lose your job.

It's kind of fun. Yeah. You know, like, actually lose your job. Not just lose your job playing quarterback, lose your employment status with the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah. It could be motivating. It could be motivating. It could be if... From what you know about two, do you think that it will be? No. No, no, no. Two, uh... He said that he... The expectation that I put on myself is to go out there and score one more point than the other team. I feel like you could maybe do more than just one more point. Like, you know what I mean? Like that... I get it. One more point is the bare minimum, but... Like for the stars, if you miss you... You'll be a moon. I think she'll buy you a moon. Well, you're kind of like you miss you land in the stars. You never made sense, because stars are so much farther away. I think that's what screwed me up. Yeah, you were actually right in screwing that statement up. Right. But to a shoot for... Let's try... Let's try scoring two more points. Yeah. Right, that's what's saying. If you're wrong by 50%, guess what? You still win.

Yeah. He also said that I don't have anything to prove to anyone on the outside. You actually do. Yeah. There's a lot to prove. Like all of us. Probably every other team too. Yeah. But then again, two of them. You got paid. You got paid. And he had two and a half for a long time. Yeah. I do think Kevin Stofansky from his quotes. I think we're going to see a lot of run game. I'm excited to see him unleash Pejan. And it's going to be... Like I said, I'm not high on the Falcons this year. I'm high on Kevin Stofansky as a coach. I'm high on the Falcons. Some of the talent they have going forward. It's just... I don't know what the quarterback situation is going to look like. Yeah. It kind of strikes me almost like their quarterback situation going into the season is what we found out about the Michigan quarterback situation after week one. Right. Whereas Tofansky is like putting this out there and two has no idea that his job might even be in jeopardy right now. I'm very excited to see what the sealer's office looks like. Yeah. And it's a very low bar for you to convince me that it's different from yours past.

What it takes is really just one play. Yeah. If they have one play like a deep cross across the middle and Aaron Rogers hits D.K. in stride, I'll just think it's a completely new team. And they might be an explosive offense this year. Yeah. I agree. Now, if it starts out, the first pass that he throws is a like a dump off on third down to Jalen Warn. At that point, I'm just going to book it and say this is the same stealer as we've seen. Yeah. A dump off with with six falcons just waiting to tackle. It's that will bother me. And I hope Jersey Jerry will agree with us when we say, hey, that's bad. Yeah. No, he'll be the first person to say it. I also think Aaron Rogers, like some of his quotes, I think this actually might be the end. He said something like it was something about how it's more than just football and winning games. Who's going to be there at your Hall of Fame ceremony? Who's going to carry your casket? The relationships? Yeah. I don't know if that's a good or bad quote when you're going into a season.

Kind of is a kind of sentimental about his football career before he plays a season. Who is he saying is going to carry his casket on the Steelers? I don't know. He said, yeah, I don't know if it's Steelers or somewhere else. Maybe it's Mike McCarthy. If you just get out out of this, the money and the accolade, you're missing the main point of this whole thing football. And that's the relationship. Who's carrying your casket? Who's at your Hall of Fame speech? I mean, I would want Mike McCarthy to use my casket as a motivational tool, like smash a casket to get the boys pumped up with a sledgehammer before the game. Also, can I say right now I apply? I'll carry his casket. You would be the guys from Uganda dancing with it. No, they're me and Rogers. We're good now. It's so it feels like years ago that he was on the package, doesn't it? It does. And it's like, it's a, it does feel like a long time, even though it's been only what four or five years. But it's going to feel more like it because he's back with McCarthy. Yeah, like seeing those two like staring at each other. It is going to be weird to see them like getting along and collaborating on shit.

Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be very interesting to see the Steelers off. And so I'm excited about that. And then also Mike Tomlin kind of got in on dunking on two or two. Okay. So Mike Tomlin made a comment about like his ass might get from him. His ass might get fried. Yep. So things don't seem to be pointing in the right direction. I quarterback for the Falcons, but I do think I think they could surprise some people this year. I mean, Bajan is like, he's the best. Surprise how? I think that they might win. Can you be worse than you thought? No, I think that there'd be a funny surprise. If it's all about like if Pinnix can get back. Yeah. If they have somebody besides two of playing quarterback, I can see them winning nine games. That could be like two. It could be worse than I expect. That would be a surprise. How would that be possible? Oh, he could definitely do it. What if he throws nine picks? That would be a surprise. Yeah. A hilarious surprise. Shoot for the Grand Canyon. If you miss, you might wind up in a toilet. Oh, man. All right.

I like to steal it. This is the Steelers Falcons. This is my sucker bet of the of the week. Because I just. I'm going to bet the Steelers and it's probably. Oh, is it? Oh, no. That was part of your augur dog. Can you tell us who else on it? It's Falcons Jets. There's the third. Commanders. Giant's New York. Wow. Oh, leaving yourself in for the end of the night. Yeah. Everyone's not myself included Cowboys Cowboys Cowboys. This is your their year. I think the giants big cat super high on the giants and the Cowboys. Meam super high on the jazz. Depending on what week we're talking about. And I'm just a sucker for for a shitty lefty. Yeah. Oh, for two. Yeah. Okay. Did you see her singing at the Grand Alopper the other day? No. Steady lefty. Yeah.

Oh, I like her. She's good. Not shitty. Industry plant. Yeah. That's true. I still don't really understand what industry plant means. It just means industry industry is literally like the music industry is a garden. Everyone's a plant. Yeah. But I also like is it just that your dad was a billionaire? I found out more about it yesterday. So she got started. She became popular because she had 15 second snippets of her songs that went viral on TikTok all the time. Okay. And then after that she made an album. I don't know if she had a full song before she had or if she just wrote the like 15 seconds. Yeah. But so everyone paid attention to her 15 seconds on TikTok. And that is where the wealthy father could probably come in because you can get your daughter's science as some sort of big representation deal that has connections that push your shit to the top of the TikTok algorithms. Hey, you might want to play this song. And by the way, I think her music is catchy. And well, yeah, the music. Well, isn't it? Isn't just no con because yeah, she copies other hit songs. Which again, music industry is that is literally the music industry.

The Beatles. I like it. Yeah, you can like it. Just relax, dude. All right. Get it. Why don't you marry a good wife? It's been a while since I spent a while to marry a wedding. Yeah, no more marriage. I'm done. I just want to marry. We should. We should say that calling her dad wealthy is wrong. He's he started a group on. He's like, Billy. Yeah, yeah. Well, he would be like, oh, he's, you know, got 20 million. He's got a nice little house and Lake Forest. No, no, no. Yeah, they're still left the industry plan. Again, don't understand. If you like the music, you like the music, who the fuck cares? But it is fun to just say industry plan without like, it's very loaded and I don't really know what it means. There's definitely, there's got to be some NFL players that are industry plants for sure. Yeah. Well, there's definitely industry plants like in the broadcasting world. Go on. Call it to us on no eagle. Like that shit is, you know, I think there's a difference though between NEPO and industry plan.

It can they can be related. Like I think she's an industry plant because her dad had the money. Oh, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, industry plant. Yeah. Yeah, like they boot the money to booster and basically buy her way to that. Ross Tucker industry plant. She was her dad wasn't in music. Right. Yeah, I miss miss miss misunderstood. Oh, industry plan. No, that's I miss. I miss it. I'm proud for a miss for an industry plant. Cream team, you come for a long lot of cream teamers. Okay, bears. I did sit by the way, I did see it. Oh, it's a man, by the way. He's a silent member of the cream team. I did see an accusation that Zach is industry plant the other day, which is a very funny. That's honestly complement to you, Zach. I'll take it. Zach, what is it about you? What is it about you that you think that these things happen? Do you remember when we I had to genuinely ask you, is like, have you been in prison? Because there was like someone in our office who's like, Zach might have been in prison. Well, that, that was prone because of the tattoo.

Yeah, yeah. It is a prison tattoo. No prison on body or prison time spent. I'm so far on the side. But like industry plant prison, like it's kind of funny that you get these things thrown at you. The Venn diagram doesn't make much sense to me, but you rolled the punches. I got it. Well, I got to tell that story because I was telling it to someone else and it just makes me laugh. Because Ron, one of my good friends, and he, or he talked to PFT and he called me and was like dead serious. I don't want to run a conversation with Hank. I don't, I don't think he's been in prison, but Ron thinks like definitely he might have been in prison. So like, should we? But Ron's also like a very sarcastic like ball bust or like a lot of the conversations are like tongue and cheek and like we're joking. And it's like, I was like, surely he's not serious. He's like, no, dead serious. Like we got to check on HR because like those are like gang prison tattoos. And I was like, you're joking, right? Like this is a joke. I can see Zach. He's like, no, I'm dead serious. I guess he played a video game. And then one of the guys in the video game is in prison has that tattoo and Zach's like, I like that tattoo.

Hey, we're tape in part of my take right now. When you started the rumor that Zach was in prison because of his prison tattoo, were you being serious? Well, I'm just figured that he would time. I feel like with those specific markings have like a very significant gang suggestion. And I would check. Have you guys ever seen his elbows? I would check his elbows for some kind of like spider web. I was just randomly we're doing that. We're doing a week one preview and we got on to the the idea of industry plants and in Zach's being accused of being an industry plant. And then I brought up was like, remember the time when I had to ask you if you had been in prison and yeah. It's not the beginning of the departed when they like a little bit. So he has a good back story. Yeah. Check underneath his shoulders. If there's a there stars on the front of his shoulders, he's a Russian disinformation.

Ron, I did notice that he has a teardrop, but I think the teardrop might be chocolate syrup. If the chocolate syrup filled in, yeah, maybe that's a good idea. Okay. Yeah. All right, hey, Ron, good to talk to you. Just maybe cook up in the next couple of weeks. Just another wild tale of Zach and we'll get it going. Maybe and maybe won't even see a coming. Yeah. Yeah. From the back. I see a pie. Why would I want to get industry planted into prison? Yeah, be a bad and it's like a worse place to get planted. No, that's what they did in Blackbird. In the movie, new guy got the guy. You got the son of a bitch. Yeah. They sent him. He was a nerd in school. Then they sent him because prison then goes back changes his hair, takes off his glasses. Cool, that she's all that. I love the idea of Zach like living out to part it and he's he basically they had to send

him to prison and send him. I guess what would it be? It would be maybe you're doing this to then take down another podcast. Oh, it's a long game. Yeah. Yeah. Bad friends. Like if we started a fake rumor that you're going to date Rudy and bad friends or like the draft, I go over there and then take them out. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Back to games. He would fuck you up. Bears minus three Panthers at the Panthers over under 46 and a half. How many times are going to show the trade graphic? Yeah, a lot. I had twice. Once before the game, once during the game. If there's a blog either way, they might show it as well. Yeah. So you got Caleb, Darnell Wright, DJ Moore, Luther Burton, Tyree Stevenson and Torrey Taylor for Bryce Young, essentially. Mm-hmm. Who do you think won that trade? I want to say the Bears. I'm not going to I'm biased here. You guys can you guys can say who you think won that trade. I'm going to wait till all the facts come out. Okay. That's fair. That's fair. You know, right?

Just got a big contract extension. Luther Burton. I said this. I believe on Wednesday show. This season is. I'm going into it. Knowing that the defense is probably not going to be good unless there's an absolute miracle. So like the regression conversation totally agree with it on the defensive side. I need the regression not to happen on the offensive side to be a success. So I needed to be progression on offense. Like, there's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost like I would be very upset, but I could deal with it. Mm-hmm. The world that would be an abject failure of this season is if the defense is bad and the offense is also bad. That would be a problem a step back. Now, how would you feel if we look back on this game and the defense gives up 400 yards? Oh, but, but you create three turnovers. If we give up 400 yards to the Panthers offense, we're going to be in a lot of trouble.

I both sides are going to look and be like, it's actually it's kind of a game within a game. It's almost like the jets in the Titans game where the Panthers offense is looking at the Bears defense. Like, we got to get them. Yeah. And the Bears defense is looking to Panthers offense be like, we if we can't stop them, what else? Like, what happens when we play some like explosive offenses? Yeah. I'm just wondering because that to me might be one of the more frustrating positions to be in. We're not sure if your defense is good or not. Or if you're just really lucky at creating turnovers. Well, I will say I do think there is something like this. You just happen with lovey Smith teams where it's like, oh, the turnovers are numbers. Like, there is a way to coach it. I do think Al Harris does do that. Like, I think he's very, very good at coaching, playing on the ball and getting the ball and taking the ball away. I do expect I don't I'm not like going into the season being like, oh, the defense might be good. I think the defense, I'm going into the season being like the defense is not good. Just how not good is it? If that makes sense, but this, I feel like you might be able to if you get a lead in this game.

Yeah, no, I think I think the defense might look good. I think we're going to be a fun team in the fact that I a lot of these games are going to have to probably be shootouts. Yeah. And so Caleb looking, taking that next step forward, Luther, Roma Dune, say, Colson Love and who I think is going to be an absolute superstar. These are the things that need to happen. And it starts with with this one. I mean, the paint like I don't think this is an easy game because the panthers aren't as bad as they have been. And yeah, but I like we started with this whole entire conversation. I'm excited that this is the game we start with. That's a perfect time team everything. So, so we're looking the panthers. It's more just I don't have to deal with any panthers fans in my life. So David Tepper, he addressed the media for the first time in a very long time. We talked about expectations for the team and for it's quarterback. He said, I'd like to see a string together two winning seasons together for the first time in this franchise's history. So that's this year and next year. Wait, that's true. That's success.

That can't be true. Is that true? It's it sounded like something that's not true, but I thought back the Cam Newton era. They got to the playoffs at least once with a losing record. They went 15 and one. And they went 15 on that bad the year after. I think they got in the playoffs with at least it was 500. Oh my God. Maybe a losing record. God, because Ron Rivera, I think he's the first team to ever get two different teams to the playoffs with losing records. Oh my God. It's true. Yeah. The best they did was they had 2005 when they went to the conference. NFC, they went 11 and five. The next year they went eight neat. Yep. That's crazy. I never realized that. Pretty crazy, right? Holy shit. And they're not even, yes, they're not even doing it this year. They can't even complete it. They can't do this here. So you can't complete it. Now that's even though they went to the playoffs last year. Yeah. They had they have to do one winning season right now. And then another winning season next year, then they'll have two to row. Okay. So that's a high goal.

High goal. I didn't need you to say let's get a winning season. Then we'll deal with next year. And because he wants to. Or just like what's for the moon. So that is the confusing part because they went to the playoffs three years in a row. Yeah. They went 12 and 4, 7, 8 and 1, 15 and 1. That's basically two winning seasons in a row. It feels like more than honestly, it feels like. Yeah, I like a dynasty at that point. Okay. Next game. We're going to the bills of Texans. This will be main TV. Bill's minus one and a half Texans at the Texans over under 44 and a half. Josh Allen, it feels like Houston is a house of horse for him. And we've never won in Houston. And we've also had some like bad moments. He, remember last year, he got absolutely smushed. We, that was the game that we did the case race and people Texans fans were very upset at us for that. Remember that? Yeah, we were hammered. We were so hammered. We got to do a case race again. Yeah, Dmitriko Ryan's defensive given him problems. I don't, this is my, I don't know game. I have no idea.

I, I, I kind of lean the bills, but I have no idea. Like maybe this is just. We don't know what it's going to look like. We don't know what Brady's offense is necessarily going to look like it. It, excuse me, it's entirety with DJ Moore. I think it's, I think it's going to be good. Jim Leonard's defense going to look like the aggressiveness. Like they're not going to be as maybe vanilla as Sean McDermott had it. I think I would take the, the Texans just based on the fact that Josh Allen's been in hell when he's been in Houston. Oh, and three in Houston. He did beat the Texans in 2021, 40 to nothing at home. And I believe this is true. It's been 20 years since the bills have won a game in Houston. Wow. Long time. I do like the Texans in this just because it feels a little bit disrespectful. Yeah. That the, that the bills will be favored on the road against the team that, that kind of beat the fuck out of him last year. Yeah. I don't really, I guess maybe people were just like, we don't know what to expect from CJ Stroud. You know, Jaden Higgins got hurt. So now it's just Nico Collins. What's the, what's the Montgomery?

Like everyone knows the Texans, he's gonna be there. They're fucking awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Dude's everywhere. They don't even have to like, to me go Ryan's doesn't have to do exotic shit. He just can be like our guys are better than your guys. Yeah. Will Anderson called it a, aFC championship preview. Oh, or an AFC championship type game. I think is what he said. Okay. I need to figure out what CJ Stroud's doing with his thumbs and his eyes before games. Yeah. Is that a mental reset? Is that resetting the neurons? What is he? Is that strictly just for eyes? I would like to know as well, because whatever he's doing, I'm like, I see somebody doing that. It looks like they, they're on to something. I want to know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Did you guys see also Sean McDermott doing a couple, we got to have Sean McDermott on again now that I think he's been doing a little bit of media. But he said that part of what he's been doing since he got fired by the bills is talking to people that were in the building and being like, what, what is the stuff that I never, that I didn't know. What's the stuff that never got elevated to me, which that has to suck. Yeah. It's just basically like, what was everyone saying behind my back?

That's the most, that's got to suck. I think that's the most fired football coach move. Yeah, I respect that. No, no, you have to do it. I'm not saying that it's not the right, it's the 100% right thing to do to get your blind spots, you're the mountain. He's doing three things on himself. To have to like go back and have people be like, yeah, we thought this when you did this, that's got to just, you're basically, that's torture. He's got to be better for it, but it's torture in the moment. Now, if like, he hits you up and you're on the bills, that's got to be uncomfortable. It would be like, hey, here's honestly what people said about you. Right. That's what I'm saying. Do you think that people, you have to know somebody that would be honest and willing to share that stuff? That's what I'm saying. That's, that's, that has to be just not a fun. There's always those people that wanted that want to feel like they want to let you know though. Oh, yeah. Like this is my moment. We should actually have Maun and tell him what he did wrong on our interviews with us. What we thought about him. Yeah. How come you didn't bring up the 9-11 thing with us? Yeah. Why didn't you talk about that? Yeah, he's probably busy today.

He put together a PowerPoint or something. Do you think anyone said to him like, hey, man, that I love him thing was a little weird. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Okay. Well, no, I'm sorry. Maybe he got that. It didn't, it didn't come out until like years later. Right. Which would probably imply that it was somebody that was no longer in the building that, I don't know, it feels like maybe that should be your sign as a head coach. If you make a 9-11 comparison in a positive manner and nobody checks you in that moment, you're surrounded by yes, man. Yeah. But also Hank, he kind of got the backlash for that. Do you think that like some, if you to ask someone like, give me the honest truth, they're probably like, well, he already knows about the 9-11 thing. They're probably not going to say it again. Right? It gets thrown in there like, yeah, and the 9-11 thing. Oh, it's like a, da da da. Like, yeah. So yeah, in that whole like 9-11 thing, that was weird. Some people did some things is what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Before we get to afternoon slate twisted T.

We love twisted T football season is back. It's the moment we've all been waiting for football season is back at full swing, which means we'll be posted up with an ice cold T. Until further notice twisted T's are a refreshing hard iced tea made with real brewed tea. 5% alcohol in the twisted T party pack has a little something for everyone with original half and half raspberry and peach. It's got the refreshing taste of the little kick no carbonation goes down smooth making the perfect drink to keep the good times going at the tailgate all day. And all football season long, whether you're tailgating at the stadium, crushing T's in your man cave or grilling out with your friends, twisted T is there to turn your day up a notch and make a good time a great time. We love the half and half the original grab a refreshing twisted T today. Keep it twisted with twisted T. Okay. Afternoon boys Dolphins Raiders. Raiders minus three over under 40 and a half. Clint Kubiaks already kind of pissing me off in what way well the whole Brock Bauer's thing that was crazy. That is weird.

The report that came out yesterday being like he's Brock Bauer's needs a little trim, a little trimmy of his meniscus. They treated it as they treated his knee like it was sideburns. I said it was a haircut. He described it like it's not a big deal. Just needs to take a little off the top. Right. So yeah, Clint Kubiaks did a press conference said that everyone's ready to go. They asked specifically about Max Crosby and Brock Bauer. He's like he's good to go hour later. Oh yeah, actually, he had a little minor surgery. He's not good to go. That pisses me off. It was just a little cleanup though. That's the thing. It's no big deal. And he should be back. He should have missed more than like a few maybe four. Yeah, maybe five weeks. Why is everybody freaking out? It's not a big deal. Stop saying it's a big deal. It is kind of dirty move to pull. Yeah. I don't want to make like gambling seem like it's the end of the road. But the league fantasy. Yeah, fantasy. The league does have a shitload of gambling sponsors and they're like, hey, sign up for this, sign up for that. And then they have an injury report that's supposed to be legit.

Yes. And then it seems like this is certainly something they knew about. Yeah. Did you guys know fun, fun little fact about the Miami Dolphins. They're the only team in recorded history to have more. They're paying players more that are not on the roster than players on the active roster. And it's mostly to it. It's to a, yeah, to a Tyree kill. I think I think there's some make a Fitzpatrick in there. What is to like 54 mil? Yeah, 54 mil. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot. So $183 million going to dead cap players that are not on the active roster. 104 on the roster. What would you guess since 1999, these teams have played a bunch. They played 16 times since 1999. What would you guess the record is between the two of 16 times? They played 16 times.

Since when? Since 1999. How could I make, how could I tell you the stat where both teams somehow have a losing record? It's actually not. One team has been dominant. Oh, really? Yeah. All right. Oh, surprise. The Dolphins. Dolphins fucking own 13 and three against the Raiders since 1999. Wow. I'm going to guess that's probably their best record against any team in the team. Yeah. In that time span. That's crazy. I think I know everyone saying that Dolphins, the roster is not looking good. Well, it's young at all. They have a, in their secondary starting, they have a combined 17 NFL starts total. And 11 of the 17 are from one guy, Juju Brents. But I think, I think being young in this situation is actually not the worst thing. I think you're going to find some guys they can play. And also, they don't have any bad memories of all the dumb shit that that organization has done in the past. Yeah. I mean, it's better than just keep doing the same thing over and over and not getting anywhere.

Yeah. So yeah, I agree with that. And I don't know if it's just the coaching that he had last year, but I'm kind of high on the league will. It's just over, certainly over where he was a couple years ago. Yeah. But like, I don't think he's a bad quarterback. No. No, I agree. Um, not having the same talent around him that he had on the Packers. We'll see what that looks like. But I agree. Even he was, he was dynamic when he came in for the pack. Yeah. So I don't know what the, uh, the offense is going to look like in Miami. But if anything like the Packers offense, I think that's a good fit for him. Look, and if you want to, if you want to know how far Malik Willis has come, member two years ago, when he played, I think he had to start like what was like week two or three and you're like, bet a bet against Malik Willis no matter what. He's come this far. Yeah, true. Yeah. He's won me over. Yeah. Uh, by the way, I missed a game in the early sleep. But you're going to love Hank that I missed a game. Uh, the Browns at the Jaguars. That's early. Yeah. So we could talk about that right now. Yeah. Browns at Jaguars. Jaguars might as well have over under 39 and a half.

Not to, not to my own horn, but in terms of predictions looking good right away. My, uh, least improved player. DeShon Watson got arrested for, or got stopped for speeding. He's somehow becoming a worse person. That's, so that's a pretty good start. I think he was going like 20, 20 miles. It wasn't that bad. It was 86 and a 60 is going. You've definitely gone 80. You may have gone 86 and a 60 today. Okay. So Max is the Sean Watson defender. Yeah. Wow. 86 and a 60 is not that bad. I haven't seen you this fired up. Okay. Well, you were just trying to do victory laps on. No, no, no, I saw it. And I saw it. And I was like, this is nothing. Through to like, least improved player. And, and that's a hard thing to do because he's really, really bad in a bad person. Big improvement from Rubin Tugs. No, that's great. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's saying he's, he's not doing that? I don't think that this is, he was not leaving a Rubin Tug. You're not driving 20 miles an hour.

You know, he's going to stress. He was going to, what if he's going to practice? And he can't wait to get there. I'm just saying he, he could end up beat like, if he just starts picking up. It's an improvement from Miles Garrett. Tickets left and right. He's just a worse person. Miles Garrett isn't, he's a fast driver. But again, I think that goes back, I don't, you should never drive over the speed limit. I think having a deep, it's a line been going fast. It's one thing having a quarterback going fast. That's another. You got to take that position by position. 186 and a 60. It was a school zone. No, it's not one city school. That's not a school zone. Was that LeBron school that doesn't exist? School right next to highway. You guys remember I saw your tweet. I was like, Holy shit. What did the Sean Watson do? And then the more I read it, I was like, there's got to be more. I'm not saying it's crazy. I'm just saying that he, like 24 hours later, he's just adding another thing. Not a good guy, maybe. Start to think he might not be a good guy. So you're saying if you go 86 and 60 or a bad guy, I didn't say that.

I said, I'm starting to think he's not a good guy. It is a bad guy. They say he was a bad guy. I mean, he is a bad guy. I'm gonna start keeping track of all driving and fractions. Okay, I did. He is a bad guy. Bad guy. Bad guy. This isn't a good example of that. No, but it's when you have the other stuff, you add it on regular citizen going 86 and 60. It's like this is the final straw. Yeah, right. Yeah. I put up with it, dude. I put up with a lot to Sean. Yeah. And the, you know, the small stuff adds up to. Correct. Correct. I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're going to be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is going to like, it's going to keep going forward. Also, if you saw it, if you're conspiracy theorist, the Super World graphic Trevor Lawrence was closest to the Super World to the color of the green type thing. Yeah. Yeah. This is so these two teams, you might not remember too much about the Jaguars and the Browns playing against each other.

But that is the bottle gate game. Yeah. 2001. It was the Jaguars. They won 15 to 10 and every Browns fan through thousands of plastic bottles onto the field. And that's why at scumbags. That's why I had in a Phil games. We're not allowed to have the bottle caps on our bottles anymore. Handle. Hand just did it again. What was that look? He stared at you. I looked over. You were talking. What do you mean? I was talking. I was not talking. You just like in the middle of when they were saying, you just looked over so slowly and gave me the most menacing look. Why did you do that? What we have to get menacing. I love so hard watching that. I'm not going to flip again. We're max is like, I'm not going to fuck it back down. We got to get this out of here. You guys are not allowed to look at each other during the show. I just don't know why he did that. We put a cone on on a it's bad. Yeah. Why did you do that, Hank? Show me the look. What was it about the bottle story that told you this is a good time for me to go over it. No, this is crazy that I have to do like the like Max Max is just not locked in.

And you were talking. You were saying something when I looked over. Me, some talking about going 100. Going 100. He was an hour. I like to go fast. Okay. Sometimes PFT says something that that make me laugh and I look over to see if I'm like minded and PFT is like, Oh, I remember is the bottle gate came from 2001 and I was like, well, we're not 100 years old. So I looked over and see Max was thinking the same thing. And then he was like, you gave me the meanest looking all the time. It's like, all right. No, that's not locked in. Yeah. We got to lock in. We got to lock in. It's a big moment. No, I know nothing about a bottle gate. It's an American history. No, because Max, you're not allowed to have bottles. Just the way you said it was funny. We were like, oh, I don't remember the bottle. Yeah, you've always wondered how come they won't give me the tops on my fucking bottle when I get it. I think it's a scumbag cleavage pieces of the browns Jaguars game from 25 years ago. That's why. Yeah. Yeah. No, you're right. That's on me. Lock in. Lock in. Lock in. Lock in. Lock in.

Lock in. That makes no sense. Yeah, they would continue. They would have been throwing my kids. Yeah. Or Santa. Hmm. That would have made more sense. Throwing my kids? No, of PFT saying, oh, it's a, you know, it's a feeling it would have been needed. But to make statutes, I said, if that happened in Philly, they would have, they would have plotted it. Like, hey, look at us. We made the rule. No, that actually that's, that it, I'm going to sign with Max. That's very wrong. PFT because they only make statutes and fictional characters. That's true. Yeah. It's a metaphor. So if this happened in draft day, the movie, and then they make a statue of all the fan thrown bottles, this rivalry between you two, it's got to, got to amp it up. Grudge match. Got to amp it up. It's too early for this. It's too early for right. That you wish you were playing the panthers. And dude, Max is going to stay nice and calm. I love to be, be playing. I can't wait to see how calm you are on Sunday. I'm not going to be calm. I never said I was going to be calm. I'm going to be calm. Okay, back to the afternoon. Sorry for that brief, uh, Jaguars crown.

Got a gole heated there. Packers at Vikings Vikings minus one and a half over under his 46 and a half. What do you guys think? Kyle Murray. Do we think he's going to be, this is it for Kyler, right? Yeah. Like he's got to be good. I mean, to unpack the analogy a little bit more, some people are foster parents for dogs. Some people are adoptive forever homes for dogs. And I think that the Viking, I think Koc is good at taking dogs, rehoming them might have had a bad environment. Quarterbacks that might have had a bad experience teaching them, hey, this is how you go to the bathroom in the house. This is how we eat calmly. This is where we sleep at night in our crate. So we walk on a leash teaches them how to be good quarterbacks. So the next place that they go, they're awesome. Yeah. I don't know that he's great at selecting his own pure bread quarterback. Right. Like you did with JJ. I think that this is a great spot. It's a perfect spot for Kyler Murray. I don't know that it's a perfect spot for the Vikings to be in. Yeah. But I think that he's going to get the absolute best out of Kyler Murray that he possibly

can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year. Yeah. I mean, listen, you also like there's two parts of the game or two sides of the ball, like Brian Flores against the Packers offensive line that is maybe going to be the weaker part of their team. That will be interesting. Who's going to step up and be the Packers like best receiver is going to be Matthew Golden. Christian Watson. I don't know. Josh Jacobs is in playing. So this might be the good time to get him. You know, like this might be the Tucker craft is is is back. Micah Parsons not going to be back for another four weeks. Like this is the time. If you're Kyler Murray in this Vikings team to play the Packers. Harrison Smith back. Here's this with back year 15. Yeah. He just decided. I think that it was a plan all along. He's like, I don't want to do training camp in preseason. Yeah. I'll just come back. Yeah. That's a good point. Hmm. Okay. What do we got anything else in this game? Over is 21 and four for the Packers when played as I don't like that stat. Cancel that stat.

Not a four 17 and four against the spread first three games this season. That's good. That comes out strong. This is a good game. Very good game. Yeah. And colors go look so small. Yeah. The tiny tiny tiny tiny Kyler. I went back to how he reacted when we first saw Kirk cousins. Yeah. In the Vikings uniform. We thought he looked small in the Vikings uniforms. Kyler is going to look itty bitty. He's going to look so cute. He's going to look so cute. I would love to see Kyler wearing a guardian cap, big purple helmet, tiny little purple uniform. Maybe adorable. Yeah. What do you think, Hank? I think it'll be cute. I think he's going to be good. I think he's going to be good-ish. I think. Which could be good enough. Yeah. That's kind of where I'm at. Good-ish could be good enough for this Viking scene. Is there any, when GTA comes out though, that's when you flip on the Vikings. Yeah. I feel like Kyler is going to be well. It's never coming out.

Is he a GTA guy? He's got to be right? Like a gamer of his every no matter what he likes to play, he has to give yourself two weeks for GTA unless you like playing video games that are out. Yeah, but everyone, everyone that, yeah. Everyone played to GTA in their life. When's it coming out? I got pushed again. Yeah, I pushed it again. Again? Wait, was that a recent push? Recent push. How recent? They got guys who used to work on the dev team coming out of me and I had, you just not coming out when you think it is. They also got a guy that holds the game for ransom. Do you hear about that? Yeah. That was kind of wild. Do you think there is anyone on, is it a situation where we're getting close enough that there could be a kid who's like parent worked on it and now the kid is like old enough to work on it? It's like, how long has it been? GTA five. It's been more than, more than like a decade. Okay. So yeah, we're getting kind of close. And there would be no incentive for them to really even drop because every year as GTA

it's highest grossing a year since long. It's crazy. Unreal. I feel like whenever that comes out, pencil Kyler in for a down week. Yeah, I'd agree. Okay. Before we get to Commander's Eagles, we've got a special delivery from King's Y-inch, Jeff Greg here. Here we go. Great. Thank you. What do you got for us here? Talker the mic. You're talking to Hank's mic. Yeah, Hank's mic. I'll take this. So what I just handed you is our take on a Chicago Italian beef number 34. Love it. A little bit sweet Italian for Walters. Sweeten is Peyton. And then love that for the commanders. Yeah. Hog slider. You got five pork deli meats for the lineman that did Joe gives proud. I love it. A lot of thanks to chef Greg. He said five different pork deli meats for the hogs. Read and major tuddy. And I got a lot. I got a lot of rolls. You got lots of rolls. All right. These are incredible. So King's Y-inch is making the claim that they are the best slider in football. But Eli isn't buying it.

In fact, he's settling setting out on a full blown mission to prove that he is the real best slider in the sport. No matter how hard he tries, Eli can't outrun the undeniable truth. King's wine will always be the best slider in football, whether it's at the stadium, the tailgate or at home, no football watching experience is complete without King's wine sliders. Chef Greg hooked us up here. King's wine sliders are undefeated on game day. For more information about King's wine products and details on where to purchase them, visit www.king'shawayan.com. These are incredible. This is the best locker room ever had. This is really good. See it again, chef Greg. This is really good. I got roast pork sliders back here with broccoli, broccoli, raw, and some sharp roe loom. Really good. This is absolutely. This beef is so good. I love any deli sandwich that's got all the Italian meats on it that says all of them. And this little viscous flowers on the side here. You know what this is? You're so good. You think what I'm thinking? This is out of bounds.

It's out of bounds. Out of bounds. I know Italian that would love yours, PFT. Yes. Who? It's related to this game. Yeah. Big dog. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you to King's wine. Incredible sponsor. We're going to be doing more stuff with them all football season. Go get them today. They're the best. The absolute best. And get some sliders. Chef Greg. We're going to be doing some incredible sliders. Okay. Game of the week. Commanders. Verse Eagles, boys. Yeah. How are you feeling? Are we feeling good? I'm feeling great about it. I can't wait to watch my favorite team play football on Sunday. Commanders fans are going to take over the hard rock and Philadelphia again. We got to. Hell yeah. You got to storm it and take it. That worked well last time. Yeah, take it. Well, there were some funnels. Yeah. There was a funbilt change. If you did, it changed everything. Three funbilt. Take over the hard rock and then stop fumbling. That's my, those are my two big keys to the game. What, what are, all right. So I'll start with you, PFT. What are you expecting in terms of this game? Like if you don't win, what are you looking for?

I'm looking for everybody to be healthy. Okay. And I'm looking for it to be a competitive game. Okay. That's what I'm looking for. Really, it's, we don't know what to expect out of either offense because we don't. Manion and Blau. Yeah. It's like who's, we can expect these guys to be going head to head for the next 20, 30 years. And this is just going to kind of set the tone for it. Yeah. I agree. Max, you, um, I'm going to say right now I'm not going to overreact to anything on Sunday, but I will overreact big time if they lose this game, especially if the offense looks bad. Okay. If the, if they lose and like the defense doesn't look great. And the offense looks really good. I would be better with that loss because it's like, okay. I think that defense, like there's enough talent on the defense. Vic Vangio has been, has earned our trust. Like they'll figure it out. If the offense comes out and looks at, looks like it did against, you know, maybe the bear's game last year, that'll be a huge red flag.

And I will be overreacting. Okay. What do you think? Is there any distraction in this game? Uh, because of that rat snitch of manual. Who again, we, the giants are the team. I thought we're going to do the giants preview later. I think that's true. Any, no, we're focused on. The NFL is investigating big dumb. And Mangalacho is, is an absolute loser who goes to the teacher at the end of class and be like, hey, you didn't give us any homework. Mm-hmm. Like, sorry. I mean, allegedly, if this is all true, he's probably lying anyway and it's probably not even big dumb. But why would you be mad about a guy who helped you out? Yeah. I think it makes no fucking sense. Why would you rat out a guy who helped you out? Max, I'm going to just give you an- Allegedly. I'm, I'm, I'm a huge, some advice. The line from you should just be, he's a liar. Yeah. He's a liar because he is a liar. There you go. And it's also a fucking fender bet. Like, who keeps- See, now you're, you keep talking. It's a liar. As your attorney, if I was your lawyer, I'd punch you in the face right now. Oh, yeah. Just shut up. I'd put you in a Hannibal Lecter, Matt.

It's a lawyer. Shut the fuck up, liar. Shut the fuck up, Friday. And he's a liar. My family is not the issue. Oh, what's the issue? What's the issue, Hank? Falseifying police reports. Sounds like you're siding with a manual officer. Yeah. Sounds like you're a loser. Are you a loser, Hank? No, I believe, I believe, I believe manual officers a liar. I'm just pointing out like Max saying it's a fender vendor who cares. If it were true, which I don't think it is, I think big dumb stand up guy. Also, I don't think a manual officer was ever good enough for team security to step in and falsify a police report for. If you have that position, you save that for people that actually contribute to winning. Uh-huh. Manual officer, he's the worst. He just wants people to start, keep talking about fucking a manual officer. Yeah. And we're not going to talk at all about fucking a manual officer. Never. Yeah, and it never even happened. Right. And he's a liar. And he's a liar. And if it did happen, it's a fender vendor.

No, it didn't even happen. I don't even know why I entertained the idea if it did happen, but didn't happen. Right. Okay. So realistically, uh, I am looking for the offense to look good. I think that it might look really good. I think Jaden Daniels, he says healthy as he's been since the start of last season. And he did have a few good games last year when he was healthy. Um, I think that he's going to remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back. I think that, uh, he probably doesn't even have the internet. So I don't know that he's even experienced what the last couple of weeks have been like with people making fun of the internet. He seems like a guy that just doesn't go online. You think his mom says no screens in the house? I think she has the internet for him. That's pretty good. I think that, uh, I think that he tries to log on and she's on the phone. Yeah. And she's like, sorry, Jaden, I'm talking. What's the deal with the offensive line? How's that situation looking? Great question, Max. Thanks for asking that question. It's a fine offensive line. Does it all this shit? I got so triggered yesterday. That's fine.

That's a fine. These motherfuckers at NFL.com and you're not supposed to get upset about about power rankings. Yeah. I got very upset about power rankings. They had the fucking commander's second to last in the NFL because of one tweet about one bad practice that, hey, amplify it on a national sports podcast. It was one bad practice. And Hank, I told you at the time and you didn't clarify your report. It was just about not by reports. Is your fault. No, you reported on the podcast. That's it. Therefore it becomes your report. I read the tweet as was written. Yeah. Minus context. I read the tweet as was right. You admitted the context that it was a backup offensive line featuring even some third stringers. That should have been said in the tweet. Now what I read that I tried to inform you the context Hank declined to apply the context to the context was there. So the people writing this report heard the context. But Hank, you know how many Hank stands that are out there. They only listen to what you say. Yeah. Hank, you did this. So you're saying the people at NFL.com heard the report only on this podcast.

Yes. And ignored the context that you provided. Yes. And it's my fault for reading a tweet as written. Yes. You are the media. You have a bigger responsibility than that. Like there's a lot of people out there that listen to their. I'm not a journalist. Well, I think some people would disagree with that. Who? The people at NFL.com that use you as a source. You seem like a journalist. The entire explanation for ranking them 31st was because of a bad practice. Yeah. That was that use spread that Hank spread that then was followed up by a bad preseason game. Not even talking about a regular seat. We're talking about a preseason game in that game. 40 of the best players didn't even play. And that's the reason why the commanders are the second worst team in the NFL. I think that they're they're going to surprise the people. I think the offense is going to be back and really, really good. I think that the defense might confuse some people because we've got a new defense accordator that seems like the new exotic a king. You're going to have here's my prediction. You're going to have guys coming from directions that you didn't think guys could come from.

Oh, like he is going to load up that box. It's going to be crazy. They're coming from everywhere. Where are they coming from? All different. Right. Middle. Every time you turn your head, there's a guy coming. And it's going to be you're going to say, please stop. Yeah. Time out. Too many guys are coming at me. So you're telling me on Sunday, I'm going to be like, these guys got to stop coming. Yeah. Yeah, you're going to have to take off your glasses because they're going to come. So I'm going to be watching this game and be like, these guys are coming everywhere. I'm drowning. I'm drowning in come. What come? No, no, no, no, guys. You're drowning in guys. I'm talking about my bad mind. I'm talking about blitzes. Yeah, blitzes. I'm talking about sending guys from different angles. Right. Getting in the box, sticking your nose in. They're going to come from behind. They're going to come from front. From behind. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Penetration like you've never imagined. Jalen Hertz turns his back. Oh, the guy's going to be coming from behind. Yeah. That's it. He shows his ass. Guy coming. I do think that there's going to be a lot of guys coming. I do. Yeah. Because Dorante Jones, he seems like maybe the next iteration of Dr. He maybe, maybe even

a mad scientist type defensive coordinator. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to what he's going to do with that because this is a defense that is not going to be one of the best of the league, but maybe we can thrive on turnovers and guys coming and guys coming from directions that you don't expect. If you lead the league and guys coming, you will definitely, at least, you'll at least announce your presence. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to, it's hard to ignore that. Yeah. Right. So yeah, I do think that the defense won't be as good as the offense, but I think it could be serviceable. And it's like the, it's a hallmark of a coach that's really desperate to change something up, switching from like a 4 3 to a 3 4 because they did a whole off season of study and you realize you might get more turnovers. Yeah. And a 3 4. We've heard a lot of football guys kind of go down that road before. And that's kind of what Dan Quinn's trying to do with the defense this year. It was terrible, historically bad last year. I think if we had a average defense last year and Jaden was healthy, it would have been a perfectly average team.

Instead, it was the Doomsday scenario, which I don't think that we're going to get two years in a row. I think he's going to remind a lot of people that the bad man's still here and also little fun staff. He's the bad man, the bad man. Okay. And this in this monologue that I'm giving trying to pump myself up for the season, he's the bad man. The last time we had a rematch, a Super Bowl rematch in week one, Dan Quinn took a team to the Super Bowl as a coach. We have a Super Bowl rematch because that already happened. He has that already happened. Right. If that holds, if that pattern holds, then yeah, look for the commanders in the Super Bowl this year. Don't ask what happened in the Super Bowl. Right. But still. But still he got there. So that's where I'm at. Now I'm excited to watch you, guys. In reality, the Eagles are probably going to win 35 to 10. No. Don't say that. That's just kind of what happens. And the Eagles, Jaden, hurts especially, great week one quarterback. Eagles are a good week one team.

But we got to see it's brand new offense could take a little bit to, you know, get situated. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't think of the right word, but whatever. It's fine. That was close enough. The Penn State all time leading Russia is going up against take one Barclay this weekend. Pretty cool. That is pretty cool. Yeah. That's correct. Yeah. All right. Last Sunday afternoon game, Cardinals and Chargers. Oh, I got for this is Jim Harbors quote, which is so fucking awesome. He said it's September. It's time to play our first game. And I support no cause for an or domestic other than the greatness of the Los Angeles Chargers. Yep. That is a yes. That is Harbors annual quote that he's given probably going back to what he was in San Diego. Yep. But he looks at a football team as a sovereign country as a nation of its own. And he is their leader. And he takes an annual oath of office every summer before it starts. We're talking to Sam Schwartz think about this a while ago. That's like his favorite thing to say. Yeah. Is for an end domestic. Yes.

This is a must win for the Chargers. Do we all agree? You got to win this game. Yep. Yes. Have to win this game. Yep. Have to win this game. I'm excited to see Mike McDaniel. How that looks with Justin Herbert in that offense. Jim Harbors did say that Mike McDaniel reminds him of a young Jimmy Harbors. How about that? Yeah. He carries around a pencil when he's around McDaniel. Yeah. Just to write down his quotes. Yeah. I think that's probably fair to say. Absolutely fair to say. Jeremiah loves. QR RB2, which I don't think matters. I think Michael Ford even said like don't even look into that. I think he's going to. I think there. It seems like the Cardinals are going to try to use Jeremiah love a good amount, but not too much. Because why would you waste them in a year that probably is not going to end up in the playoffs? So get him ready. Get him going, but don't don't have him be like 250 carry guy. Yeah. This is it is though a must win for the chargers 100 without a doubt. You have to win this game.

I asked Bloodman Liam Blutman if he had any fun facts about any players because he just remembers everything that's ever been said about any player on any college broadcast ever. In this game, he said. Diane Henley's dad is Eugene Big U Henley who was the leader of the Rolling 60s. Crips and Los Angeles. That's pretty cool. So that's pretty cool. That's his fun fact of the day. That is very cool. All right. Should we do Sunday football and we'll do some picks. So Sunday football Cowboys at Giants Giants plus three over under 48 half. This is hungry dog you said. Yeah. Cac. Dac does own the Giants feels like, doesn't it? He's I saw the stat. This is actually the 13th time that the Cowboys will begin a game again of the season with the Giants there 11 and one in the previous 12 games. And Dac in his career against NFC East pose is 37 and 10 straight up. So he's good against all the NFC.

He is. Do you know how long it's been since the Giants have scored a touchdown in a week one game? Three years. four years been four years? Yeah. So 2022, I guess four years as of right now. But just it would be just barely over four years if and when they do score their first touchdown. Okay, so we're looking for a Giants touchdown we're going to get one. We're definitely going to get one this week. Obe. Yes. Yeah, catch rematch. He looks great. How many times are going to show that catch? At least once has to be. I was in the car for that catch. I don't remember where I was going, but I was listening to it on radio. How did they describe it? They were just like, oh my god, I can't believe he caught it. I'm just pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty much it. I just remember like then getting home and being like, oh shit. It was a sick catch. If that catch happened right now, how much attention do you think it would get? A lot. A lot. With the same amount? Yeah. Has it ever before?

I don't remember. Was that catch? Was it in? No, it was it was an end one. Yeah, it was an end one. Yeah, I'm just thinking that because we've gotten kind of disincentized to one hand to catch it. And there's been a lot of yeah, like really incredible catches. That catch, we talked about that catch for like a week nonstop. I think it was the number one topic. Was something a football? That was why I feel like yeah. Yeah. Okay, should we do our picks? And we also have to do our parlay, right? So draft Kings, draft Kings, the weight is over footballs here.

get around on blades yeah oh man that sounds kind of cool I said to memes that for the next for the entire offseason the loser has to muckbang every time they get fast food make a video of yourself muckbang what is muckbang again it's literally just eating a meal and then describing what you're eating and you you place it out in front of you you've seen him you put it in front of you and you're like I'm gonna eat the fries now these are fries from McDonald's mmm that's good yeah wow okay so every time you get fast food got to make a video okay what about a bubblehead week you just wear helmet and a guardian cab all week I like that not a bad idea I thought of a chain together scavenger hunt oh so second place in last place goes on we the four winners give clues to people let's say Gerry O'Connell you have to find Gerry O'Connell in LA he has a key he gives you the key and a clue to

the next key and then so on so forth I was thinking what about uh you know depending on who it is they have to and maybe like we get like prosthetic makeup to a celebrity that they look the most like and then go walk around the what Hollywood walk a fame for like three hours and take pictures with people okay okay what about losers or loser and second place has to fix Gerry O'Connell's driveway that's not a bad idea I was gonna say get the actual like you have to get cement and like mix it like that I was gonna say loser just has to stay in Gerry O'Connell's house but also fixes driveway yeah I think fixing the driveway oh it's doable it's definitely already fixed okay then maybe you have to break it you have to break it and then fix and then refix it yeah I like that okay the second place version gets to has to break it the last place person has to fix what about the second what about the last place person has to fix Gerry O'Connell's driveway while the second place person

has to swim can't like can't put their feet on the bottom of this pool I would be so much over I would die yeah I would die yeah I'd be hours yeah I don't think that's possible I kind of like the idea of maybe a sleepover and fixing don't sleep over don't just said drive the OJ pursuit uh drive the OJ pursuit route in Vanny same speed that's not driving isn't it yeah that's going pretty slow if the Broncos run the Superwoman maybe yeah to Dom may have to man splint something to you uh he was like can I explain why I said that I said no and then he just being the the shut the fuck up bitch and then he just proceeded to explain it while I was standing there and I was like I I thought it was pretty good extra I don't explain that explanation it was I was like Hank was being a bitch and I wanted to tell him to shut up oh okay oh by the way at breaking moves I can report uh

that that was the first zoo Jair Gough at Ben-2 as an adult he said over 20 years crazy so that was why he was just like whoa this is crazy that is kind of animals everywhere said it rock though said it was awesome time he said it was a good zoo that let that be a lesson the zoo's are for adults still yeah I guess that makes sense like you probably have a pretty big gap in going to a zoo between being a kid and maybe having a kid that it's like I didn't go to a zoo I've been to one zoo as an adult was it fun great time yeah zoo's are awesome you want to know where it was where California San Diego San Diego well okay so you didn't you you buried the lead there I said I specifically said San Diego Zoo take that out you live like a half mile from the Chicago's and never been and actually I've walked or I've yeah I've never gone free side of the the grounds of it I've seen some of the animals walking through the park though you stalked a perimeter yeah on if

you walk around the perimeter you can see some of them you say you're like I'm getting some free looks at these animals even though the zoo itself is free well I just haven't like going through the effort of going into the yeah because that's it that's how they get you yeah once you get inside then nothing is ever free see the popcorn true and the popper is do they have all that yeah popcorn pretzels yeah yeah soft pretzels yeah really good ones to brush t-shirts really good little future train that you get to drive around as big here is back whatever it's fine okay uh uh it's some also additional clarification on the Falcon Steelers game to uh has hurt his back oh no so there's a port that he grabbed his back and then sat down on the grass at practice doesn't sound good Cooper rush I think took every snap of the ones so we're not we might get Cooper rush against the Steelers this weekend and if so maybe a good move by two yeah after being you know threatened with his job he's like fine I won't play for bad performance he's like fine maybe maybe I'm just hurt yeah and so fuck you pay me smart move yep all right picks everyone's got to

pick a spread in and over under two picks aside uh let's start with memes so we'll just go in order from that way memes I will go with Pittsburgh Steelers minus three and a half that feels like that was way up for you the two of news although I think you'd rather have two a start yeah for sure if you bet yes Steelers you'd rather have two a start nope yep that's what I was thinking yeah that Cooper rush thanks do he had that one game dude watermelon game that was the watermelon 10 years ago it was not 10 years ago yeah no Cooper rush just thank you was not 10 years required eight years ago I don't know how many years ago was don't ask me about the years all right max I'm going with the Jets plus one and a half everything Jets plus one and a half okay I'm gonna go with the Ravens minus three and a half okay

shutting it down and then it's the willpower of an ninja and focus on the touchdowns for seven straight hours that's uh it's my favorite time of the week when I see that clock the Red Zone clock for the first time in a year I can't even describe the feeling that it puts me just excitement is an understatement at that point and then after the game you can I can I ask you something I gotta ask you a question put you on the spot do you remember the first time I was ever on your show I do yeah do you remember the first question you ever asked me I don't know big cat you remember what pft i would imagine do you ever do you ever piss during the during the NFL Sunday no you guys were so keyed up about Red Zone and the greatness of it I remember the verbiage because I now have the best answer it stunned me at the time shot at pft stunned me the first thing you ever asked me was Scott when when you went to the octobox for the first time did it move yeah it moves yeah what do you mean did it move me emotionally did it move me yeah

I was a little slow on the uptake but after all these gears I have an answer for you pft it moved so much it needed to fill out a change of address for it does it's the best it's so excited it does move and then when it's all over I gotta take a nap it's it's yeah you know there's a lot of similarities there at the end of it when the day is over do you just crash do is it just you hit a wall or do you have to wind down dude I'm a nut job so I I finish my bladder is so well trained when I finish the touchdown montage right the music video with all 60 whatever touchdowns on it I pop my earpiece I take the microphone off I don't even have to go to the bathroom then I go take my makeup off get out of my suit jump in the car drive back home here to my place in LA and put on Sunday night football but then so Jack I got five TVs Sunday night football on the big screen that's a 70 inch or these are 50 inches flanking here I'll put NFL

network highlights show on there ESPN's highlights over here over on the far screens I'll have news and then like a movie Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie on mute that I've already seen before and I can still have all of that stimulation and that's how I unwind yeah after it's well more TV yeah yeah I love it sure that's a perfect Sunday that's undoubtedly why I'm single and no one will ever have it as there as there's no listen that's a perfect Sunday that you just described I also it's dawning on me now you might be the only person and and correct me if I'm wrong who isn't upset when they do I because we we gripe about this all the time when the NFL does a schedule where it's like eight games early three games late that's probably good for you to be able to to pace the day I hate it I think it always leaves us wanting more in the afternoon and if what if one or two of those games a blowout we're just stuck with it that's where you come in and you

can you can get us back and forth but I do you like that or would you like there to be more even on a Sunday yeah so I I reached over here because I just grabbed something to show your audience here when the schedule release comes out I always say this all politics and schedule releases are local right mm-hmm the coaches look for who do we play week one right the players look for the by week or cold weather games in December right the red zone host looks for oh you have it the splits yeah oh we got all week week one early window is eight late window is four I literally make this on the day the schedule gets released and obviously we got some blanks because of the flexes and stuff that happened in mid to late December there but that's that's how I look at the schedule and four games in the late window is fine it's it's fine it feels slow to his death death

yes okay so you agree with us all right so that's good like I see the seven three Sundays and I'm like man I wish we had an extra game there because you just run the risk of like if one of these games is a blowout yeah and it always to us our Sundays are our similar to yours we're real come in and we're in the office and we have all the games on and it's like the the anticipation and excitement when the first games kick off and you ride that wave and then that and then you crash a little bit at the end of the witching hour and then the car nose come on yeah yeah and then the Cardinals are getting you know 20 peace and the Seahawks are beating up on someone and you're like man I want I want another game I stand up for the entire early window I you know when that crash hits when you're on the couch maybe you know catching some z's or whatever and maybe some of the higher profile teams are playing in that late window I sit down for the first time yeah when I

sit down the energy kind of changes in the studio I think a little bit yeah we ride it as best we can but that trains down the tracks guys I'm sure you've explained to your audience why it's that way because people tell me you've got 12 games on red zone week one yeah why isn't it six six let me just explain it if the audience doesn't know it please yeah the reason is because the NFL wants a pseudo national game in the late window we all notice that the game in a three game late window in the middle of October is going to feature I don't want to name teams that are low I'm going to see if it be yeah well it's going to be your low profile team in a smaller market versus low profile or team in the small market same same and then giants cowboys right bills chiefs right with Romo and nance or nance or Roma or whoever is broadcasting that kind of step down that one a little bit you know the national game and they want to deliver one huge audience to a swath

large swath of the country for their partnership with CBS and Fox so that's why there is lesser inventory in the late window yeah it makes it I'm so going to complain about it when it's on because we just want more football and also my dream my dream would be to have a slightly staggered start times like college football where it was we had we're we're in central time in Chicago it like a noon kickoff a 130 kickoff so you like you never stop you know like there will always be that random time where one of the games will go into overtime or weather delay and you'll get that like bonus game in the afternoon it's like oh this game's still going on I love it so I wish you a little more staggered well they did create the Sunday morning specials for us here is the entire NFNL this in in grid form the white and black rectangles are red zone games that's Sunday one o'clock four o'clock any color on there is a standalone national game or an international

location broadcast so that's a visual representation of what it what it looks like did you make that yourself or did you have somebody print that up for you oh one of the great chaps at NFL media research kind of puts that out for us I'll send an image online or send it to you if you like I love it yeah yeah I'm I'm gonna I laminate mine because you know I live by it for the next five months it's great yeah we got a guy like that here at Jeff D. Low he he puts everything in grid format laminated everything that's how he keeps track of everything I think you and him will get along really well um I want to go into something that I hear all the time about you which is like all right just in general there should be a red zone for blank it's almost like you can take any sport and people like oh there should be a red zone for hockey there should be a red zone for baseball um how many different sports and things I'm like election night I've heard there should be a red zone for election night how many different ones have you been pitched and are there any that you would actually be interested in doing if somebody could put them together that's a great question great question I think I've heard all of them um I've actually participated in some I am I am

the prime time host of gold zone for NBC and peacock for the Olympics every two years I did the Paris games for uh summer and then just did the Milan Cortina games and gold zone is what you think it is it is red zone for the Olympics right 30 different events going on in 15 different venues let's take you to wherever and and that's fun it's a little harder to memorize it's just lava skittish vele's stats than it is Patrick Mahomes's but um gold zone for the Olympics has been a good one the other major team sports though guys it's not conducive to it yeah the secret sauce for red zone honestly is the 42nd play clock because I can get you to Dallas and show you what Dak Prescott just did and sneak in a Jordan love highlight and then maybe even something else from Detroit or wherever and get you back for the next Cowboys snap and you didn't miss anything yeah baseball can't do that basketball hockey

can't do that um college football now is very intrigued yeah yeah and especially with the NFL I don't know if this is super publicly known but with the NFL Disney merger uh Disney ESPN got the rights to the red zone brand so if they want to start college red zone and call it college red zone they're able to I'm in yeah I'm in yes right yes a little different feel because you don't when you bounce from Lions Packers to Giants Eagles right it's it's big big all that you might be bouncing from Michigan Ohio State to Akron versus you know Mississippi step yeah yeah somebody never yeah but but fans would find it and it would I think it would find an audience yeah yeah how how are we doing guys you guys got any suggestions because if hey I'm looking at green zone here if it makes money there you go yeah like I'll try out for it yeah college

football would be great uh I would I would love to watch that baseball is very tough to do I think basketball would be interesting just yeah it's like you know like it's almost like the March madness you cut in live uh how it used to be when when like way back in the day when you only could watch one March madness game and they would cut into it but yeah football is built for it how are we doing Scott I know the last time we had John uh I might have had a gripper to about uh gambling etiquette how are we doing with that I know that most people don't care but I do think there is a you know there can be a blowout and and you're not giving us the same juice when a score happens that hits you over or a score happens that covers a spread like those are those are important well look at you guys knew when it was years ago when when we had that discussion I had a little bit of handcuffs on of course the NFL had an embraced gambling yet now the NFL has multiple gaming partners and of course you know the the tail follows the dog I'm

allowed to say things more overtly than I would before I will say this and we were presented by draft king's sports book for the last few years right the title sponsor um I will look at something when a crazy play happens at the end of a game I'll look at my my right hand man Tim Galanians and I'll be like was that off camera off microphone was that a bad beat because I want to I want to say something about it like I don't gamble I don't even look at the points spreads to be honest I don't want that in my head but if it's on the backside where I know my audience is howling about it at home like oh my god they kicked a field goal they could have just need took a knee and they kicked a field goal instead and that pushed it over or whatever I want to I want to at least give a a nudge nudge wink wink yeah we're with you we understood what that consequence was right you kick it over yeah that's what we need yeah yeah the spread yeah but I'm not gonna but I but it's not gambling zone it's not agreed agreed it's it's not it's not gambling zone we're trying to like

because I think that people should be able to watch football and if they don't gamble they should have an outlet that does not focus on that because they'll be able to trust trust me if you were gambling on the games you can figure it out on your own if it was a bad beat yeah if there's a 35 to three game 35 to three in the fourth quarter we're not showing it unless a guy does a cartwheel a 360 spin and lands backwards in the end zone we're not showing a play but it's a game is 35 to three and the number is 38 and a half and the other team decides to boot a field goal at the end it doesn't mean anything to any football but I get it it's yeah you know significant to some as our friends got hands help yeah football first and then whenever there's you know a moment it looks like hey this doesn't matter it does matter to some yeah exactly yeah all right I think you don't take big cat big cat yeah you evolve people yeah no how influential you are to red zone as an entity and a production you know what I'm talking about are you saying witching hour

witching hour was Francesca I will not I will not take credit for you pushed it you pushed it I might have yes yes yes yes yes and it is it's truly yeah we have the actuality I told you that I will I'll call it the witching hour yes we can we have the flagpole it it is it truly is we say it in the like in the gambling cave we will get to that moment on Sunday we'd be like here we go witching hour and you'll just feel like you said the energy shift where games start to flip and all this team looks like they're in control and now they're not it's like anything gonna happen in the witching hour it really is the most chaotic hour of everyone's week it's the best yeah it's the best hour in sports TV I mean I if there's a better one show it to me because I'll I'll watch it yeah it's it's best hour in sports TV and and it props to Francesca I've heard his sound bite of being with Brent Musburger and Jimmy the Greek and all that back in the day and what not and and doing that thing and and perhaps if that's where it came from but yeah it's in the it's in the zeitgeist now it's not going anywhere I think we gave it some some turbo juice to to bring it to a new

audience and it does you you do you say it at just the right time yeah every week it does feel like that's right when I start to lose I hear you call on the screen I'm like this mother everything goes to shit right when you say yeah can I tell you that we have a bit of a formula we don't do the witching hour by wristwatch I know no it's not yeah this is probably the first time I'm saying this in public so this is I love this breaking news yeah it's not don't no I'm breaking it I'm very interested in breaking news do you want to guess as to how we determine when we should say the witching hour do you want to guess I would imagine it's something about however many games have to be in the fourth quarter basically okay if we have an eight game early window my producer and I shout out Todd Mossberg Mossy great best of biz Mossy and I will be like all right we got eight games four of them have just hit zeros at the end of the third quarter or one's already there when we get about half of the games in any given window into the fourth quarter or at the end of

the third quarter commercial break we're like let's start let's look can we call it the witching hour in the next 90 seconds or so but what we're trying to do on the backside it because when we do witching hour I go to the scoreboard ladies and gentlemen eight games going on across the national football league five of them are one possession games in Detroit in New England in Miami in Atlanta and in wherever Kansas City and it's the witching hour when winds become losses and losses become winds boom we want to cut to one of those games that's a one possession game in the fourth quarter so our director Dustin Stern has to be looking at the off ramp for the witching hour you would think it's just a simple thing no yeah in the fourth quarter no it's it's a it is air traffic control trying to line up all the pieces to the right right place but that's how we call the witching hour how we determine what it is yeah I am told there are text threads across the world and at the NFL imports red zone that every country that gets NFL football in fact it's the number

one way to watch football in a lot of foreign countries shadow hey I'm told there are text threads around the world that explode when they say if you're doing laundry or whatever get your to the couch yeah yeah yeah yeah sitting on the couch watching tv is our number one export yeah as Americans and we're damn proud of it anyway like that's that's what we do better than anybody we're the best we're the best in the world come at this bro how sick were you at changing the channel with a remote back in the day is this something that you always you always had that skill you know the first NFL red zone episode ever I called my mom up and I'm like mom you know I'm hosted this new show red zone I think this could be a vehicle for my career so she only watches football like when I'm involved with it or something like that so she watches and she's and I color up I'm like isn't it awesome isn't it sweet we jump around she's like Scott you act like you haven't been doing this since you were five years old she goes you don't remember you would watch the living room television with a game then you would drag your dad's TV from the den with a

cable swinging behind it in and and try and get a different game on that next to the family room tv and then you go on the radio I'm an old man so I go back to when you were finding games on radio try and get a different game and then you'd have a magazine and a newspaper in front of you the whole time it and you would say I'm like yeah you know that's right mom I actually did used to do that so yeah I guess I've I've always been slick with it when it comes to football multitasking yeah you're demon and and every year there's you know the NFL changes which is what makes it so beautiful why we love it so much are there any names that are keeping you up at night any new names how so I missed it any new names like it player names that you're going to be called to say on the squash if they score a touchdown stand by stand by so me mr. lamina your your buddy low what was his name low low yeah Jeff D low Joe Jeff yeah okay I know I actually know Jeff lamina here's your first round of the NFL draft right yeah and who if I who have I been stuck on the

the Penn State Guard first pick of the Baltimore Ravens Vega I got I got my phonetics over on the other computer here I own a I forget his name yeah there's a couple of first rounders that I know I'm going to be doing they got to make plays for a little while the Arizona State offensive tackle I am a chore I like I got a I got a yeah I got I got worked it it's right season for for red zone two preseason bro and I will be there or or I'll just say his first name if I have hit yeah yeah initials work too how is there a certain team that you like in studying and everything you're like extra excited to to have you know this season and be like this team I expect to be explosive yeah I mean there's a couple of teams it's the NFL so nobody knows nothing if you would have had me on this show 365 days ago and I go guys guys I got this I've run the numbers it's Seahawks Patriots in the Super Bowl right so so yeah

you did look me like I'm nuts so nobody knows nothing however teams where the offensive talent seems to outweigh the defensive talent are grist for the mill when it comes to red zone so I'm looking at the Dallas Cowboys when they're on red zone they're on national TV as much as you can be right but when they're on red zone Dallas although their defense should be improved the Cincinnati Bengals are a team that is going to score 31 points a game whether they give up 30 or 32 points a game is the question of their win lost record the Troy lions a little bit like that their defense suffered you know tons of injuries last year but the offense is capable of putting up numbers I kind of look at those teams and I'm like yeah we're going to see them on red zone in the red zone on offense putting up numbers with some exciting fantasy players should be kind of fun yeah do you have bears are in that category by the way bad defense good offense yeah yeah they lived on turnovers last year but yeah and that's cyclical we all know that's cyclical you cannot expect that

to happen this year although they're ahead of schedule by all accounts yeah be a fun here in Chicago do you have any any statistics for the red zone for like the players names that you've said the most like who scored the more the most red zone channel touchdowns because we've got some great players obviously that played in the NFL since you're on the air but I think a lot of them they end up playing a large amount of prime time games yeah for national audiences that sort of thing so I was just curious if you if there were any deep dives and like you know deep statistics about the best guys in the the 1 p.m. games yeah I I'll have to hit up I don't have the answer off the top of my head and I don't have any stats right available to me right here but Tim Galanians Brian Laravie my right hand men that literally sit next to me with their computers they have spreadsheets going back years and they could tell you how many touchdowns were scored in week four of 2012 right the players names I think Tim maybe did it I want to say it's like Derek Henry is up

there um CMC is one of the leading touchdown scores we've ever had because we started in 2009 this is season 18 for us so you got to think of longevity of career and an excellent player over the longer course of that I think it was Derek Henry is the player that scored the most touchdowns on NFL red zone over the course of our course of our show I'll check though Rob Grant Kowski was up there for a while of the Patriots always had tons of prime time games yeah uh the usual suspects quite frankly yeah uh well Scott this has been awesome I got one last question for you it's a rowback question are you a ck.com promo code take 20% off your first purchase QZips polo's hoodies joggers shorts a rowback.com promo code take your excitement has me just like I'm ready to go you that's really dude that's why you're so good at your job you sound like like getting you just being on the show right now and just being excited has me just fucking amped up for that first

Sunday I've thought about it we're actually are in our gambling cave we we are getting new couches and I held off putting in the new couches until the the first Sunday so we're going to have a whole experience of like hey we're we're walking in let's go yeah it's especially to get in there someday I'll never get in there on a red zone Sunday but if if there's a march madness yes I'll get my butt there I would I've watched your socials yeah I would love to do it it would be awesome all right Zach you're up you got a question for Scott I do Scott do have a quick question for you uh with almost two decades of red zone coverage under your belt have you converted any other aspects of your life to like strictly you know highlight bases oh that's a good one good one that's a good one um what sometimes this is so bizarre sometimes if I'm not much of a cook but when I cook I'll look at my stove top with four burners and I'll be like oh quad box honestly like like stupid stuff like that hit me uh I do a lot of shout out videos like

on cameo and whatnot and I get asked to do like bachelor parties and weddings and stuff like that so NFL wed zone is a is a term that I've coined that uh and there was a woman who incorporated allowing her husband to watch red zone in her wedding vows um during at the altar right so it's it's seeped into every area of my life and a lot a lot of fans lives too I love yeah good with Zach I like that I love that good question Zach well Scott thank you Scott good luck this season we'll be watching uh we love everything you do and uh thanks for coming on you really do sound like football yeah it's like the pop loves dog thing like I hear you and I want pizza and I want to be like screaming at a tv somewhere like I I'm back in I'm back in yeah I love the tweets to the two Sundays two Sundays oh man get fired up hmm footballs back thanks guys thank you Scott

Hank yeah you got anything good yes decent decent one yeah Tuesday night parcel after dark we did have fuel goal kicking stream you were great until you got injured yeah I was like probably over 50% in my first 20 probably and then I got I got deadfoot I like hit a nerve or something on the top of my foot yeah essentially how I described is like if you you know tap your left foot tap your right foot yeah I could tap my left foot I could not you know lift up my toes with with my right foot I could lift my knee I could walk fine but it's like you know if you're if you're your toe disease hand falls asleep your leg falls asleep like you can you know it's there but I couldn't feel anything on my foot uh specifically like lifting up my toes my toe disease and I was driving home afterwards it was late and I pulled into my building into the garage slowed down and I like

you know went to go transfer from gas to break and I when you I realized this after the fact but obviously like driving is a lot of just lifting up your toes switching from one to the other that's fact and uh I like my my my brain was like hey lift up your toe my toe was dead my foot was dead it did not respond quick enough and I like I was going slow it was going like five miles an hour but I did not stop quick enough and just like I I budge I hit my garage I hit the garage my building and then with your car with my car that's crazy car was fine no damage to to my car just ran into something in the parking lot the garage the garage went up and then it wouldn't come back down the guy that was in the garage was was was you know freaking out the maintenance guy had already left spent like 45 minutes with him trying to figure out how to get the garage door down and then I was and then the next day they fixed it but I talked my building like oh yeah we have the garage people coming also they might have been some damage to the roof so we have the roof

people coming oh no let you know what the bill is but later like the garage people came and fixed it real quick I have not gotten the bill yet but I don't think I was worried they're going to have to like completely take the garage down put up a new garage door like there was no visual damage to the garage door but it just wasn't it was not like it's an automatic garage and it was going up right was not coming down uh so you hit the garage door and broke the garage door of your building with like hundreds of people in it for like probably it's it was fixed the next morning like if I broke my garage door the only person who didn't convene is me and my wife well there's two garage doors oh yeah there's an in and out but you know what could go in well no some I get it's happened before where they're they're doing meetings or whatever were like they just they just they turn it into a you know in and out they just everyone have everyone because then everyone goes out they combine it um but the next morning everything was fixed so it was not I was I was worried that I was going to be like a long term right damage thing and I was gonna get I was

gonna start talking like who did this I was a guy with a dead like there's only like eight hours you're saying yeah okay yeah so it was like it was like 11 o'clock at night it seemed basically like the by the time the maintenance guy came back the next morning like it was it was fixed pretty quickly so why again did you drive into your door I dead foot my foot was dead from kicking I was video of it right here did you think about taking your other foot and using it on the break uh in hindsight I should have done that how did you get home I can lift my leg so I just wasn't it was just like I wasn't when I was driving I was lifting my leg and I just you know kind of it was a it's a it's a short turn this might be what happened with the song yeah look look at the video that that he sent to me you can see his left foot he can he can tap it the whole time and then he tries to go to his right foot nothing yeah but he lifts it yeah now just can you tap now yeah so that's the best he could do with his right foot yeah so Hank feeling us come back as someone who's who's kicked some footballs in my life before what you're describing is not like it's not super

uncommon but you usually have to kick a lot more than just how many just kicked like 11 for 20 11 for 20 yeah pre dead foot yeah it's not like a nerd it's just it's just like your ligaments are tired your foot was just tired yeah I'm not a foot based athlete uh I never played soccer never played football never kicked in my life so I kind of knew I was going to be bad kicking and I was actually pretty good until my foot died you were 11 for 20 yeah basically as good as Max is what you told me at in the beginning yeah we were like neck and neck hmm is that true Max Max was actually pretty good we all were Max is pretty good I was okay I'm I record I've also never kicked kicks I feel a goal before in my life Hank you were so lucky that Rico was there but yeah I mean even if Rico wasn't there our team would have won like I was getting them in the in the in the through the operates I guess I'll never know until my foot died yeah but the last yeah the last

30 I was I was still trying to kick them I was being a warrior probably you are a warrior made a lot worse you you must have been doing some weird for like I don't understand how that happened like the foot what what were you doing to get that result I was hitting I think I just hit like I don't know how you know the nerves on the top of your feet work but I was I was hitting he's got weak my legs are cooked right you were kicking you were kicking toe balls I was trying to kick like a kicker he's got weak ankle muscles that's the there's no nerves he didn't hit it yeah his foot's just weak yeah the the feeling is back where we're weak guy yeah we're no weak feet weak tootsies yeah not if I'm not a foot base that foot base athlete never will be 20 kicks you're not into feet 20 kicks over 50 percent over 50 percent until you got hurt until that but then you kept kicking and those stats unfortunately do count too right but not you know it's all asterisk so what are those stats besides breaking one garage I'd have to look it up that's we're talking about getting into some

deep numbers here because most people just take the original 11 for 20 when Hank was before you hurt himself right I think it was like 11 50 or something 11 50 yeah I think it was about 11 for 50 so yeah so you didn't make another kid 22 percent no and you broke a garage temporarily yeah temporary all right let's see what was the number go back so you did you stop kicking oh so you were 11 for 46 so you my foot died 20s to 46 yeah he was 11 that's 20 that's 26 kicks of heart I was kicking with my heart can you go back a little more do you make sure that he was actually 11 for 20 I don't think they were updating it and they weren't oh actually I have no idea they know they were you weren't all right so he's three for 14 there that's before you hurt yourself that's before you hurt yourself okay

three for four that's unfortunate that we found that yeah three for four I like the narrative that but that also means that he made oh wait no you can't go from three for 14 to 11 for 20 that's actually impossible yeah that math fuzzy math but it does sound like Hank got better the more hurt he got yeah you just weren't hurting up buddy so so you weren't hurt for three for 14 correct yeah but it took I it never kicked before so it took me like probably five to I was also seven for nine at this point okay all three for six okay all right so maybe that's when I got yeah that's what you got hurt oh we got to see yeah the stats on if they updated them there there you go right there that is three for 11 okay you're getting worse and then you were trying to find it oh here we go here's one where to go where to go

here we go six for 21 that's not bad so 11 for 20 was not was never never happened that was rough yeah that was that's rough that happened to be just one over 50 percent so we're just thinking back to the first six kicks literally the the first six you got 50 you were three for six and then you're like up my foot died yeah again just from overuse from kicking the ball six times but then yeah like 25 kicks of heart the heart all hard none of them made and a garage yeah and then you drove into your house and possibly a roof yeah how did you damage the roof I don't know like yeah we got the garage guy coming in the roof guys like I think if you might about to like be buying this building if you hit the garage door hard enough it might just send it up into the roof yeah verbrated yeah so no one could leave you you trapped everybody in your oh there you go that was your 11 11 for 36 well that was post injury yeah yeah that's when it was all hard but you had been walking around telling everyone to good here 11 for 20 yeah

ish pft what's your fire for us I've had a pretty good week mine is is the other side of that coin where I feel like dangerously good it's been probably three years since I've kicked a football maybe two years I feel good after that Tuesday night's frame to the point where like I'm ready to get back in the lab yeah back feels good the fact that I survived that entire thing without pulling something again we're stacking small victories right now yeah um but we're poli pick up the phone because I'm go I might not be mr 35 anymore I might be mr 34 fuck it maybe mr 35 um give me some time I'm I'm back I'm back as a kicker are you worried about a dead leg no my like feels great okay my like field it felt stronger but I'm like see like I didn't participate in the stream and uh I'll never kick a field football again after hearing what Hank went through I mean yeah it's deadly yeah it all takes his one wrong kick and then you're a minutes behind the wheel pft finished 84 for 87 damn

no pretty set now granted they were uh they were the old extra points so 20 yards still but still like I feel like and I wasn't k I wasn't trying to kick it too hard I think that most of those probably could have been good from 30 which sounds awesome to say uh I think I can get 35 maybe 40 you get me back in the gym get the back still feeling good I might be fully back now this is very dangerous thing for me to say because there's a chance that like next week I yeah I tear a quad um but we're feeling good Rico went seven for 70 yeah thank god for him seven for 76 is so good that's so funny um chat things 11 for 46 isn't really that bad in comparison yeah you did okay um okay uh my fire fest uh it's listen football's back excited for football to be back I'm trying to plan to not gain weight this football season and I know that I'm already losing the battle because last night we had wings uh tonight I'm sure we'll have some pizza and pizza

and I have a couple of ice cream balls and ice cream um I don't know what we're gonna do but we gotta figure it out I max I were talking about potentially doing like dog fences the electrical dog fences where we just fence off the kitchen and put on the collars because the problem is I just stand up I go take a piss boom blackout I've had 10 weeks sometimes I do a thing where I go I'm I'll I'm like oh I'm gonna go make a coffee just so I can stand in there and pick while I'm making the call maybe we need to put the food somewhere else I don't hate that yeah yeah maybe like put it somewhere that's in the back in this back kitchen harder to get to I love that idea yes I love that idea you have to actually what we should do you have to make an intentional destination right right kitchen there's no really you never you never casually walk past it right by accident you have to be going to the ice machine to get the code to food this could change our our the our future of our lives I completely agree all right just one little switch tell Jack what

that's the right now right now what memes state your case means why not it might work for max why is not going to work for me you I've seen the way you eat you pick it you you grab no I just on the yeah that's right yeah but if there's not pizza you'll just go candy or snack oh you know still just eat yeah no because I got to open no you'll find a way no it's probably gonna not gonna work for either of us but I like trying it we just need to take out all the food of this office what if we play basketball before Sundays I'm down listen I'm gonna try to get on the treadmill before kickoff I've been I've been going to the gym for over two and a half days and I feel good I feel really good I was really good about going to gym when I got back from the honeymoon and then the kicking happened and my legs have been in shambles ever since so yeah I'm not going to the gym when I'm already this store I just would love to just do one football season

where I don't gain 15 pounds you can do it we can do this I'm gonna be in the best shape of my life by the football season same same I swear to God same wait what the fuck was he listening who he's Jack is sure is being did you text him no kick him out kick him out I just said we've made a decision about football food and he says nope your fat asses can just not eat it it's staying up up front learn self control fatties okay we'll tell Jack get ready to learn fired Jack has a spray tent yeah tell Jack Jerry's got something in his car he'd like to share with yeah we can go tell we can go talk to Jerry if you want to play that game yeah all right Zach finish off we could just put hoodies on though you just speak to the dude that's the problems that I know hoodies season is I'm about to buy a bunch of new hoodies and then I'm like oh I'm fine you can't think like that we have to stay in front of it to this year stay in front of it what

happens is this conversation always happens in like November where we're like oh it's gotten so bad let's get in front of it and speaking of hoodies what if we just crank the heat up we're hoodies it's sauna yeah we're like wrestlers yeah it's like watching football how do we get in front of it basically a workout at that point yeah and we quit after like three weeks dude yeah we're not doing that this year that's the problem get married but that's the problem is we keep doing weight loss challenges why don't we just change our habits I think the food going in the back is huge a huge there's no way I'm walking back there food's going it he keeps saying no he I don't think he has the right to say no to this not to me that's what I'm saying right okay Zach how did he how did he know that I think he just knows that we're just talking about but he knew exactly our plan yeah all right Zach my favorite this week is uh I've been looking into getting to be a bike guy as of yet Tuesday really uh motorcycle no just like pedal bike or

electric bike because I had a pretty sobering moment in a ride share that reminded me that strangers are strangers and you shouldn't trust everyone that you just take a ride home with okay uh had great day work great week really so this isn't too much but hop straight into the ride share took a couple minutes to go around the office for like on my backpack and then the driver was just watching pornography oh so it's pretty uncomfortable what kind I you know I just saw like just flash of sex and I that was it was it on uh on a phone yeah just on a cell phone and then he kind of shuffled I thought about making a joke about it was like let's be lighthearted and then he just started talking about messy to soldier field so we got past it pretty quick but I might just be out on a ride share for a little bit so wait when he started talking about messy were you like just put the porn back on dude I don't hate that move because he was talking about really excited yeah just in the draw yeah it's hard to feel something about but so Zach you've just had two times in the last week and a half where you have just been uh like sex has been thrown in your face and you're not a sex guy yeah one physical though one just like virtual virtual that's okay

it's whatever but yeah so you gonna do you know how to ride a bike oh definitely well I mean I haven't done it in a while but yeah that's what they say it's like riding a bike you always know how to ride a bike yeah yeah yeah yeah that's what they do I think that's what they you haven't done it since you moved here maybe what probably not was the last time you rode a bike and ride a bike sure I don't like where this is yeah definitely we're gonna need to ride a bike we're gonna need to ride a bike I might go one hand you know I might be on tricks on it one hand is not hard you're like you're like have to be able to do one hand you can tell people behind you where you're going yeah I've never done like transit bike riding so like I never had to experiment with the six did you like to say that regardless that that's not a trick that's like stream trick I was just talking the you know one handed was is the X games you never seen the one yeah or like 40 Clover you've done the what's that two off top feet off the pedals you do that no but you've seen that move yeah I've seen it but yeah it's a great video okay so you're going to
