uh but yeah, no, it was a great saturday. We
actually got to come over and say hello to all
the Fox people, so that was good. And uh, yeah,
I didn't realize you guys were You guys are right
there by the R pack. That was that was the
old Larkins when I was in school there, so uh
and that was a good setup and it was a
great atmosphere. And uh, I think I even gave you
(03:23):
guys like good gambling advice last week?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Did not Yeah you did.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Fourteen to ten and I wasn't far off. And Jonas
and Hammer the under and whoever whoever did that I
think did well over the weekend. So uh, the winner
here everybody's the winner.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Well done.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Uh, we have a bone to pick with you, though.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
We do have a bone to pick because Micah Parsons
gets traded and I see this report you're talking on
Dan Patrick and you're saying, how there's what there's five
other teams involved potentially in trading for his services.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Where was that information with our show last week? What there?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Did? I not say it?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
No, you did not.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I put that on you guys for well, you guys
got to ask me specific questions. I'll give you this.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah, you got to ask Albert. If you ask me
a question, how good teams are involved?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I tell you, Albert, what information that you may use
on another show that someone may ask you that is
like very very like like exclusive information?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Do you have any for us right now?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Last week too? Was in the story? I mean I
I don't know. I mean, like I said, like, if
you guys, just if you guys wanted just to ask
me the questions, I'll give you the answers. I was
just answering questions on dp's show. I think last week
when we talked in fairness, I betray it hadn't happened yet, right, No,
it did not It had not happened yet. Yeah, so
that's just a timing thing, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, well, let's talk about those other suitors because I
look at it and say, okay, Kenny Clark two ones,
maybe this precedent for you know, that this sort of trade.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
But was there not anything better?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, Micah Parsons is viewed as a generational talent. Yeah,
I would have thought someone would have offered like two
ones in a two or maybe three ones.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Let's get crazy with this thing.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I think the Cowboys sort of screwed themselves with
the timing of it, you know. And I I look
like it came to attention point obviously over the last
couple of weeks. But I think, you know, the Cowboys
probably should have had some more foresight on this and
created that tension point in the spring. Because here's the
reality is, like, when you get to this juncture in
the calendar, it becomes harder to pull off a trade
(05:41):
like this because teams budgets are set, the caps are set,
the rosters are set, and so you know, naturally you're
gonna have fewer suitors in August than you would if
you if you put a player on the market in
March or April, when teams have a lot more lego
room in all of those areas, you know, And so
just because of where we are in the calendar, I
(06:02):
think it became a little bit harder to move them
and a little bit harder to get you know, complete
full value for him. And you know, so the packers
wind up, you know, doing a deal at the rate
that they did it at, and it's the price isn't
all that different from you know, what the what did
the Raiders got for Khalil Mac with us six years
(06:25):
ago now and sort of seven years ago now? So
you know, I think a lot of it's just about
timing guys like as much as anything else. And you
know it, had the Cowboys pushed this thing to a
head before the draft, then we'd be talking about I
thinking about more teams involved. And then the other piece
of that too is you know, you probably have one
(06:46):
of those picks on your team now if you're the Cowboys, right,
instead of having to wait until next April to have
any of the any of the windfall from the draft
capital on your roster.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
As the what has the feedback been since the trade
in your circles? Abe I'm curious because it seems as
though there's and I don't get it, but there seems
to be almost a little bit of balance, Like, Okay,
some people actually like maybe they did a good thing
by getting rid of Michael Parsons. And then there's the
(07:20):
other side that I tend to fall on, which is
there's no sensible or logical way you can justify what
Dallas just did.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, I think, like the way most people in the
league look at it, LeVar is that this is two
teams that are sort of in different spots. And you know,
for the Packers, they've been closed the last couple of years,
and they are in position to say, maybe we are
a great player away from competing for a championship, right
(07:49):
I don't think the Cowboys are necessarily there. And you know,
I think over the last few months, as this thing
did not progress right like, and as there was very
little steps forward taken between the Cowboys and Mike get
towards the deal, the Cowboys had to look in the
mirror and I think, you know, like a big piece
(08:09):
of the conversations that they had contemplating where they are
from from a team standpoint, and you know, so I
think you know, like really for for Jerry Jones, for
Stephen Jones, for Will McLay, for for Brian Schottenheimer, it's like,
what do we want to be and what do we
want to build? And you know, Shot, he's used that
(08:30):
term the greatest culture and in professional sports and and
that's a little over the top, but it kind of
illustrates what he wants to build there. And so, you know,
if they had gotten to a point where it was like,
we can't go forward with Micah Parsons, what do we
want to build, Well, you know, we want to lean
into Dak Prescott as a leader, and we want to
(08:52):
lean into you know, trying to to to rework the
locker room. And if Mike is not going to be
a part of that, that'll give us a little bit
our space to do that. And you know, that's why
the idea of picking Kenny Clark, and the Packers were
a little surprised because Kenny's older and Kenny's not an edge,
so he doesn't replace Micah Parsons on the roster, right,
(09:14):
the Packers were a little surprised and they asked for
Kenny Clark, but that was sort of a targeted thing
for the Cowboys, and they talked about the run defense thing,
and that is part of it. But another part of
it is there's no better pro out there than Kenny Clark,
you know. And so I think part of this is
all right, like if we are going to kind of reset,
you know, where we are from a franchise standpoint, if
(09:34):
we are going to concede and admit to ourselves that
we're not that close to pe for championship, but we're
in this thirty year drought, you know, how do we retool?
How do we reconfigure things? And uh so you're saying,
I think, yeah, I think to some degree, like they
would never concede that, they would never admit that. But
I think this is a concession from the Cowboys and
(09:57):
implicit concession from the Cowboys that we aren't that close,
we aren't a player away. We we we do need
to retool a little bit. And I you know, I
would actually give them some credit for that and being
honest with themselves about it, even if they can't be
honest about that publicly.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
Maybe from your understanding, what was the opinion of Micah
Parsons in the locker room?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It was very hot and cold. I would say he
pissed some people off with his with his podcast, that's
for sure, and some of the stuff that he said
there now look like there's two sizes to this, right, Like,
so Mike is a different guy. I don't think Mike
is ever going to be the best leader in the
on the team. You know, that wasn't going to happen.
(10:43):
But you know the flip side of that is that's
the way a lot a lot of pass rushers are
different guys, you know, like you know kJ Watt, you know,
like Miles Garrett, Like I can go back to some
of the guys that I've covered over the years, Von
Miller is a very different guy. Not a bad guy,
but just a different guy.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's something that's sort of I don't know why, but
it's something that's sort of specific to that position. And
so you know, Micah is a different guy. And Lafar
you've been around him, you know, like he's a difference
of a guy. And like I I and I do
think like that part of it, Like he rubbed some
(11:22):
guys in that locker room the wrong way, there's no
question and that.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Could I throw this out at you while you're saying
that just since you've brought me in by saying I
know him. Is it a possibility because that different that
you're talking about is probably could be considered ultra competitive.
Got all those names you named are guys that are
ultra ultra Like if if you said, let's find caterpillars outside,
(11:48):
my caterpillar will be faster than your caterpillar, Like let's
go shoot hoops, let's play horse. The autumn dudes you
named are dudes that are going to try to beat
you in every single aspect of anything and everything. Was
he too intense for their locker room? Were they too
much of pussy's in the locker room to be to
be what they needed to be? Or or was this
(12:09):
a matter of they just were rubbed the wrong way
and and other ways?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I think I think there were there were situations of
are where he called people out? Did it rubbed people
the wrong way? Now? I like I think that piece
of it, Like you know, some people felt like some
people felt like Michael was out for Micah and again,
like you know, there's a fine line when it comes
back who.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Isn't out for who isn't out for themselves? In the league, though,
I mean and that's a that's a real like fed
up way of saying it, like he's not he's the
only selfish one in the locker room that's about himself.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Like come on, I.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Hear you, I hear you, I hear you. You know,
and I know you know, bar, I'm just kind of
conveying what I've heard, you know, Like, but yeah, but
I do think but I do think that that that
definitely existed there and some people felt like, you know,
he had like a Micah had had certain platforms and
they felt like, you know, there were situations where he
(13:05):
was he was calling guys out where it was uncalled for.
And I again, like that's a fine line, right, like
sometimes sometimes that stuff needs to happen. However, however, you
want to break that down and look at it, like
there were those issues that existed in the locker room,
and one way to fix it, of course, would be
to empower him. And how does that go with the
(13:26):
other guys in the lock which you empower him by
paying them, right, and then you see what the result
of that is. The other way to fix that is
to trade them and you know, like again like I
don't want to make a sound like they're just getting
rid of him because they're not like they tried to
resfind them, you know what I mean. They offered him
a lot of money, So like, this wasn't a this
(13:47):
wasn't a like we need to get rid of him
type of thing. I think the I think it was
more when the efforts to get him resigned failed, that's
when they start to have those bigger picture conversations that
make sense. Like it's like, all right, like we try,
We've tried to do a deal with him. Now we've
got to start to talk about what this looks like
(14:08):
if we walk away from him, what the benefit of
walking away from him is. You know, those bigger picture
conversations were provoked not by we need to get this
guy out of the building. Those bigger picture conversations were
provoked by we haven't been able to get a deal
done yet, so like, how far are we willing to
go to get a deal done? What are the pros
and cons to getting a deal done? When the conversation
(14:32):
about getting a contract done sales in March and April,
Now all of a sudden, you know, those bigger picture
conversations get opened up, and a lot of these sorts
of things are discussed, Albert.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I want to switch gears here and talk a little
bit more about some teams with high expectations this season,
maybe no one higher than the Buffalo Bills and Josh
Allen raining MVP.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Is there a sense though, that if things.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Don't go well this season for the Bills, they might
start looking elsewhere, looking elsewhere for a different head coach.
And it feels like Sean McDermott's been there for a
long time. I love him personally. I'm not saying this
would be a smart move, but you know, owners get
you know, it's like when when they don't win the
Super Bowl, everyone's like, well, why didn't we And we
start sometimes chasing ghosts and making up reasons for what
(15:17):
we need to do in order to win one. Is
there a sense that there's a lot of pressure on
Sean McDermott despite the fact that you know, they've been
incredibly successful.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah. You know what's funny is Brady's just brought that up,
and I just I don't know why I popped up,
popped in my head, but I just thought of Tony
Tungjee with the Buccaneers, if you guys remember, and how
he like rebuilt the Bucks and they had been a
laughing stock. And you know, he won and one and
one with the Bucks, but they didn't get over the top.
And then the opportunity to go get you on John
Grutin and they did it in one I think that's
(15:49):
the sort of thing that you're talking about, right, like
where the guy's done a great job, but like do
we need a new voice And I don't think that
exists there yet, but you know, cause I think John
has done such a great job remaking the organization and
I mean it's easy to forget what they were before
twenty seventeen, but they hadn't been in the playoff in
eighteen years. But yeah, I mean like this is like
(16:12):
so you know, like they've sort of moved off of
the old group of players that they that they that
they won with with Josh Allen this quarterback, that first
group and some of those guys have come back, like
you're Davious White. But I mean, you guys know all
the names of the guys that were that went through there,
you know, like a high Jordan Poyer, you know, Steph Diggs,
(16:33):
all those guys they won with, and now they've got
this young group that they've paid, right, Like, so they've
paid Greg Russo, they've paid for l Bernard, They've paid
Khalil Kir, you know, they they they've they've they've sort
of leaned in now on this younger group, and this
younger group is just getting off the ground at Oliver's
(16:53):
in that group, you know, and and and we'll see
what they can do. I certainly think there does come
a point eventually when if you're knocking on the door
and you're getting the AFC title games but you're never
quite breaking through, that those sorts of questions get asked.
And yeah, I mean like if Josh Allen has another
(17:15):
MVP type of season and they get to the doorstep
and they don't win, I'm sure people will be asking
those questions. I don't think internally they're close to there
anywhere close to you know, asking those sorts of questions
of themselves, like do we need to move on from
Sean McDermott. But certainly the pressure gets ramped up if
if you can't break through.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
So, Ab, I have a question for you, because we're
doing these picks and we're going through the AFC, the
NFC picking division by division. One of the teams that
I struggled with was the Rams only specifically because of
Matthew Stafford's health, the back issue that feels like it's
going to be a problem all year. When did this
first part up? Because would they have given him the
(18:03):
contract they gave him had they known that his back
was in the shape that it was in going into
the year.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
The back has been something that has bothered him for
a while, Like I don't it's it's not new, like
it's I think it's an accumulation of damage would probably
be the best way to put it. And this is
the guy who took a lot of a lot of punishment,
you know, over all those years in Detroit, and so
they have confidence in where he's at because of his
(18:29):
ability to work through other things, Like he had some
for a quarterback, like as extential type injury, you know,
he had like a wrist injury and elbow injury that
like those sorts of things where you're like, you know,
if you know the quarterback, And he actually admitted this
to me a couple of years ago, like that it
was I mean it was the wrist injury was scary
for him, like didn't know, like, okay, what's this going
(18:52):
to be, you know, so he's worked through these sorts
of things in the past. The back has been an
issue in the past, you know, I think as much
as anything else, I think I've kind of explained this
to you guys over the last few weeks, is like
they felt, like, you know, over the course of the
summer that if he's at like eighty five or ninety
(19:14):
percent with the back, well, there's no need to be
like firing any bullets in August, especially when you have
Jimmy Garoppolo who can come in and operate the offense
and practice at a high enough level where everybody's going
to get good work in, right, So like, let's leave
those bullets in the gun and there's no need to
wear them out in August where it could affect him
(19:35):
in January and February. And this is, as much as
anything else, is about being able to get him through
the year and have him at the highest level possible
when you get to January and February and you hope
you're competing for a championship. So I think it's just
sort of where he is physically. I think it's why,
you know, it's why like these questions of retirement have
come up the last couple of years because there is
(19:56):
a lot of damage that he's taken on, but he's
already fought through so much that there's confidence that he's
going to be able to do it. And you know,
it really hasn't affected him as far as giving the
Rams an elite level of play from the position. So
you know, I would never minimize it. It's not me
that's got the back issue here, although I do have
some problems with my own of my own and my
(20:17):
old age, you know, I I like, I just think
like for him, it's it's it's something that he's he's
found a way to deal with these things, and you know,
they've got confidence that he can do it. Doesn't mean
it won't flare up, doesn't mean it won't have to
be managed, but but they have confidence that he can
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
All right, Albert, last one for me, we got to
get it from you. What's your super Bowl pick for
the season?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
So I I picked the Bills to beat the Rams
on the Super Bowl. So interesting that you guys brought
those two teams up.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Typical.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, I think I I would just and sometimes like
when I make these picks, Brady. I can be like
a little bit of a prisoner of what I saw
during training camp, because you can kind of if you've
been doing it long as long as I have, like
you kind of get a feel for the way people
are talking about their teams, you know, when you're talking
with them outside, it's just the normal rosie stuff. The
(21:10):
two teams that really came off as like being very
confident where they were over the summer to me were
the Rams and the Broncos. And with the Rams, it
was like this quiet confidence where it was like, I'm
not saying it, but like, this is a really good
group we have here, and DeVante Adams looks dynamite and
they'll be a perfect compliment for Poka. And you know,
our offensive line should be the best since we've been here,
(21:32):
and our defensive line might be the best in football.
So I think the Rams have as long as Stafford
can make it through, I think the Rams have a
really good shout to win the NFC. And I and
I would say this too, like even if they were
going to lose Stafford for two, three, four games, there's
a high level of confidence that Garoppolo could step in
and then Buffalo. I would just say this, like, if
(21:55):
you went to Bill's practice like five or six years ago,
you'd be odd by some of the things that Josh
could do, could do like running around and making things
happen and everything else. And there's this breakneck way to
how he practiced back then what it was this time
watching him, everything now looks so easy to him, and
(22:16):
everything looks so calm, and it just looks like I mean,
I'm serious when I say it's it look like child's play,
Like he was just picking things. I'm going to do this,
I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna do that. It was
just so the idea of him still having like all
that physical ability in his dag and he can just
now he can sit back there and pick someone apart too.
I just I'd be surprised if he's not, like, you know,
(22:39):
the best player in the league again this year. And
I think they've got all those young guys I mentioned,
all those young guys that they've they've drafted and developed
to replace the guys who are out now. They've got
so many ascending players on the team. So I like
the Bills to break through the Rams, to get back
to the Super Bowl and then the Bills to beat
the Rams in Santa Clair.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
How about that there he is, that's the great Albert Brier. See,
so I guess we did ask the right questions this time.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
We led you?
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, And I'm rocking my brain right now to see
if I lost anything on the table. I guess the
only thing you guys would need from me now is
like the Ohio State Grandlin pick right sits around the topic.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Do you like Ohio state money?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Right there? I think I can get that one right.
I think I can get that one right.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, to go a B to bring those buck guys,
good luck, buddy.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
He's the man at Albert Breer on x IS where
you can find him. Senior NFL reporter, lead Content Strategy
said the m m QB.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
It is time to conclude with the.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Playoffs with the super Bowl. It's the big grand finale
here lead to lap. You take it away. Quarterbacks through
this who goes first?
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Well, all quarterback is through it, but let's let the
quarterbacks start it off. Brady, who you got in your
playoff scenario?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So, as I've talked about before, Tampa Bay from the NFC,
they get the buy. On the AFC side, it's Kansas City,
so playing off in the wildcard round, I've got the
Jacksonville bill Jaguars hosting the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
I've got the Ravens winning that one.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Then I've got the Buffalo Bills hosting the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
The Bills hold the home.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Field advantage they advance, and the Bengals beating the New
England Patriots the seventh seed to advance.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
On the AFC side.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
In the NFC, it's a home team sweep the Green
Bay Packers, they take down the LA Rams, the forty
nine Ers take down the Atlanta Falcons, and the Eagles
take down the Washington Commandos moving on to the divisional round.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
I assume I can go all the way through, y sir, Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
In the AFC, We've got the Bengals advancing to take
on the Buffalo bill and I have the Bengals advancing
to the AFC Championship Game, knocking off Albert Briers.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Buffalo Bills that he's got, I believe winning at all.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And then on the other side, I've got Kansas City
beating the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
They get the buye they're at home.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
We all know the track record Vandy Reid and the
Chiefs as well as their record versus the Baltimore Ravens,
so unfortunately for the Ravens not able to do it
this year. On the NFC side, the Eagles hosting the
San Francisco forty nine Ers. I've got the Eagles being
able to hold the home field advantage winning as the
number two seed, and then the Tampa Bay Bucks coming
off that buy hosting the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
The Battle the Bays, but it's the Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Packers who will find their way through to take on
the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. Championship Weekend,
the number one seeded Chiefs hosting the Cincinnati Bengals, and
I've got the Chiefs advancing. The Bengals just can't get
over the top. But a matchup that I think we'd
all love to see. I know I would love to see.
(28:03):
And then on the NFC side, the Eagles hosting the
Green Bay Packers, all the weight and the pressure of
everything trying to get back to the.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Super Bowl and repeats.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
But it's the Packers led by Micah Parsons Jordan Love
finding the way to the super Bowl, A matchup for
the ages, the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Green
Bay Packers in Santa Clara. But I've got the Chiefs
getting back on top of the NFL, and mind you
(28:32):
doing so with Taylor Swift performing at halftime circle.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
When Whens the Chiefs, Taylor Swift back on top of
the NFL, it's written manifested.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
If you will, it's all gonna come together.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Really gonna do this?
Speaker 9 (28:58):
By the way, I think that's an That was Super
Bowl one and this is Super Bowl sixty coming up,
so on the sixtieth anniversary a repeat. Damn.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, that's impressive, very impressive.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
All right, Jonas, how about you taking off what's your playoffs?
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Sinner?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
All right?
Speaker 9 (29:14):
So that was almost as impressive as this here are
my AFC playoff teams. I've got the Buffalo Bills winning
the AFC East. I've got the Bengals in the North,
the Texans in the South, and yes, i have the
LA Chargers the Bolts winning the AFC West. My wild
card teams out of the AFC are the Ravens, Steelers,
(29:35):
and Chiefs. But I've got Baltimore making a run as
a wild card team, finally getting over the hump and
getting into the Super Bowl. Over on the NFC, who
will they play. They've got the Eagles winning the East.
They've got the Packers, the Falcons and forty nine Ers
as division winners. Your playoff teams elsewhere as the wild
(29:58):
card spots are the Commanders, the Buccaneers, and the Chicago Bears.
But only one can advance from the NFC to take
on the Ravens, and that one is Lee to lapse
Green Bay Packers who go to Santa Clara to take
on the Baltimore Ravens, and the winner is Lamar Jackson
(30:22):
and the Baltimore Ravens who win the Super Bowl Super
Bowl sixty. If you look at the logo, If you
look at the logo, you see some purple. You see
some yellow and a little bit of green there. As
Lee likes to point out, the logo of the Super
Bowl is a predictor of certain super Bowls. But I've
got Baltimore winning it all coming up in Santa Clara
(30:44):
in February.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
All right, two Packers making it to the super Bowl
in both Brady and Jonas's brackets.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
How about you, var who you got in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I hate when Jonas says the same things as me,
but I'll still say it. I mean, I feel like
I want to change it because Jonas doesn't get anything correct.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
But maybe he gets it done here.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I don't know if I got Cincinnati into AFC, Buffalo,
Houston and the Chargers as divisional or conference the division champion,
excuse me. And I have Baltimore, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh as
wildcard teams.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
I believe out of that Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Will end up playing Baltimore and Baltimore will win to
make it to the super Bowl. On the NFC side,
I have Philly, Tampa, Bay, Minnesota, and Arizona winning their divisions,
and I see Green Bay, Washington and the Rams being.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
The wildcard teams.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Now the teams that will emerge from there will be
Philly and I do believe Green Bay, but I believe
that Philadelphia finds a way to win, and they advanced
to the Super Bowl, and you have a Ravens Eagle
Super Bowl and I have Baltimore actually winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Sticks picks.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
I like it. I like it, man.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I think we had a nice little display of like
all the teams that could be in it.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
No one picked Cincinnati will be in the super Bowl, right, No, No,
I don't know, man.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
As I was going through this, it just it feels
like it could be their year, like bringing everything back,
you know, the way they approached the preseason.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
I don't know. Something feels like this could be since
his year.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
I was either going to go Baltimore or Sincy, and
I was either going to go the Rams or the
Packers in the NFC. But Matthew Stafford, the Stafford back
thing concerns me so much. I'm not sure what to
make of Sam Frank because the roster is still there.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Just will Christian McCaffer be able to get back to
those old ways.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
It's hard for me to pick against Philly, honestly, like
it really is, because I think Philly is so good,
but I didn't want to be too chalky with it,
and so I kind of threw Green Bay in there.
But the Chiefs, obviously, I just I think every single
year we get tired of looking at how downbent they are,
how good they are, and then once we see them play,
we're like, oh, yeah, that's Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid all
(33:14):
this other stud players.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
You know.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
You know what I realized, you know I realized, And
going through the picks last night, I was like, in
this entire Chiefs dynasty, never one time have I pick
them to win the super Bowl or even go to
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
I am, well, you're an underdog type guy.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You know, you don't like That's right, you don't like ever,
you know, picking a team that's a favorite, you.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Know, the common man, bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
The common man. You are far from common all Dracula.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Damn that's true.

Of me, but that would be I'm interested to know
what that would be, but go ahead, go I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (36:09):
Well, another update for you. As you guys know, I'm
trying to wean off drinking a little bit before the
start of this season, especially before Sunday. I still got
to you till the kickoff of the Packer season because
of the Michael Parsons trade to my Packers. So but
yesterday I was struggling a little bit. I was cleaning
the house and I was thinking to myself, you know
what would really help is just a little cold beverage.
(36:30):
So I decided, you know, it's okay, it's only twelve o'clock,
two o'clock in the afternoon, I'm gonna walk over to
the liquor store and grab myself just a little tall boy,
just a little something to hold me over and lay.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
I asked, you, did you drink yesterday? And you said no.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Well you are right there, var because right as I
was pulling into said a liquor store, who pulls up
at my roommate says, hey, what do you what are
you doing there? I pulled a quick one. I said, oh,
I'm getting a power ball for tonight's drawing. So I
walked in, got myself power ball that obviously lost, even
though I did.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Get one of the numbers for your roommate going to
the liquor store.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
She just happened to be pulling off of the freeway
right at the liquor store right as I was walking
in there.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
Right, yeah, right, this story does not add up to me.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
So, uh so.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
I got my ticket, I got one of the numbers
around I got sixty one. But uh yeah, so the
Lord works in mysterious ways. Fellows kept me from from
drinking yesterday. Lord, yeah, that was something else.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
It was your neighbor who happened to be trying to
get drunk like you.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Yeah yeah, So we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
We've got another few days until the kickoff of the
Packer season.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
I mean, it's just it's easy.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Just don't drink during the week and the weekend comes
around and let a fly who cares.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
Every time Michael Parsons gets a sack.
Speaker 5 (37:48):

great atmosphere. And uh, I think I even gave you
(03:23):
guys like good gambling advice last week?
Speaker 5 (03:25):

and Hammer the under and whoever whoever did that I
think did well over the weekend. So uh, the winner
here everybody's the winner.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
Well done.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
Uh, we have a bone to pick with you, though.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
We do have a bone to pick because Micah Parsons
gets traded and I see this report you're talking on
Dan Patrick and you're saying, how there's what there's five
other teams involved potentially in trading for his services.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
Where was that information with our show last week? What there?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Did? I not say it?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
No, you did not.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I put that on you guys for well, you guys
got to ask me specific questions. I'll give you this.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah, you got to ask Albert. If you ask me
a question, how good teams are involved?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I tell you, Albert, what information that you may use
on another show that someone may ask you that is
like very very like like exclusive information?
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Do you have any for us right now?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Last week too? Was in the story? I mean I
I don't know. I mean, like I said, like, if
you guys, just if you guys wanted just to ask
me the questions, I'll give you the answers. I was
just answering questions on dp's show. I think last week
when we talked in fairness, I betray it hadn't happened yet, right, No,
it did not It had not happened yet. Yeah, so
that's just a timing thing, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, well, let's talk about those other suitors because I
look at it and say, okay, Kenny Clark two ones,
maybe this precedent for you know, that this sort of trade.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
But was there not anything better?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, Micah Parsons is viewed as a generational talent. Yeah,
I would have thought someone would have offered like two
ones in a two or maybe three ones.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Let's get crazy with this thing.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, I think the Cowboys sort of screwed themselves with
the timing of it, you know. And I I look
like it came to attention point obviously over the last
couple of weeks. But I think, you know, the Cowboys
probably should have had some more foresight on this and
created that tension point in the spring. Because here's the
reality is, like, when you get to this juncture in
the calendar, it becomes harder to pull off a trade
(05:41):
like this because teams budgets are set, the caps are set,
the rosters are set, and so you know, naturally you're
gonna have fewer suitors in August than you would if
you if you put a player on the market in
March or April, when teams have a lot more lego
room in all of those areas, you know, And so
just because of where we are in the calendar, I
(06:02):
think it became a little bit harder to move them
and a little bit harder to get you know, complete
full value for him. And you know, so the packers
wind up, you know, doing a deal at the rate
that they did it at, and it's the price isn't
all that different from you know, what the what did
the Raiders got for Khalil Mac with us six years
(06:25):
ago now and sort of seven years ago now? So
you know, I think a lot of it's just about
timing guys like as much as anything else. And you
know it, had the Cowboys pushed this thing to a
head before the draft, then we'd be talking about I
thinking about more teams involved. And then the other piece
of that too is you know, you probably have one
(06:46):
of those picks on your team now if you're the Cowboys, right,
instead of having to wait until next April to have
any of the any of the windfall from the draft
capital on your roster.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
As the what has the feedback been since the trade
in your circles? Abe I'm curious because it seems as
though there's and I don't get it, but there seems
to be almost a little bit of balance, Like, Okay,
some people actually like maybe they did a good thing
by getting rid of Michael Parsons. And then there's the
(07:20):
other side that I tend to fall on, which is
there's no sensible or logical way you can justify what
Dallas just did.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Yeah, I think, like the way most people in the
league look at it, LeVar is that this is two
teams that are sort of in different spots. And you know,
for the Packers, they've been closed the last couple of years,
and they are in position to say, maybe we are
a great player away from competing for a championship, right
(07:49):
I don't think the Cowboys are necessarily there. And you know,
I think over the last few months, as this thing
did not progress right like, and as there was very
little steps forward taken between the Cowboys and Mike get
towards the deal, the Cowboys had to look in the
mirror and I think, you know, like a big piece
(08:09):
of the conversations that they had contemplating where they are
from from a team standpoint, and you know, so I
think you know, like really for for Jerry Jones, for
Stephen Jones, for Will McLay, for for Brian Schottenheimer, it's like,
what do we want to be and what do we
want to build? And you know, Shot, he's used that
(08:30):
term the greatest culture and in professional sports and and
that's a little over the top, but it kind of
illustrates what he wants to build there. And so, you know,
if they had gotten to a point where it was like,
we can't go forward with Micah Parsons, what do we
want to build, Well, you know, we want to lean
into Dak Prescott as a leader, and we want to
(08:52):
lean into you know, trying to to to rework the
locker room. And if Mike is not going to be
a part of that, that'll give us a little bit
our space to do that. And you know, that's why
the idea of picking Kenny Clark, and the Packers were
a little surprised because Kenny's older and Kenny's not an edge,
so he doesn't replace Micah Parsons on the roster, right,
(09:14):
the Packers were a little surprised and they asked for
Kenny Clark, but that was sort of a targeted thing
for the Cowboys, and they talked about the run defense thing,
and that is part of it. But another part of
it is there's no better pro out there than Kenny Clark,
you know. And so I think part of this is
all right, like if we are going to kind of reset,
you know, where we are from a franchise standpoint, if
(09:34):
we are going to concede and admit to ourselves that
we're not that close to pe for championship, but we're
in this thirty year drought, you know, how do we retool?
How do we reconfigure things? And uh so you're saying,
I think, yeah, I think to some degree, like they
would never concede that, they would never admit that. But
I think this is a concession from the Cowboys and
(09:57):
implicit concession from the Cowboys that we aren't that close,
we aren't a player away. We we we do need
to retool a little bit. And I you know, I
would actually give them some credit for that and being
honest with themselves about it, even if they can't be
honest about that publicly.
Speaker 9 (10:14):
Maybe from your understanding, what was the opinion of Micah
Parsons in the locker room?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
It was very hot and cold. I would say he
pissed some people off with his with his podcast, that's
for sure, and some of the stuff that he said
there now look like there's two sizes to this, right, Like,
so Mike is a different guy. I don't think Mike
is ever going to be the best leader in the
on the team. You know, that wasn't going to happen.
(10:43):
But you know the flip side of that is that's
the way a lot a lot of pass rushers are
different guys, you know, like you know kJ Watt, you know,
like Miles Garrett, Like I can go back to some
of the guys that I've covered over the years, Von
Miller is a very different guy. Not a bad guy,
but just a different guy.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's something that's sort of I don't know why, but
it's something that's sort of specific to that position. And
so you know, Micah is a different guy. And Lafar
you've been around him, you know, like he's a difference
of a guy. And like I I and I do
think like that part of it, Like he rubbed some
(11:22):
guys in that locker room the wrong way, there's no
question and that.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Could I throw this out at you while you're saying
that just since you've brought me in by saying I
know him. Is it a possibility because that different that
you're talking about is probably could be considered ultra competitive.
Got all those names you named are guys that are
ultra ultra Like if if you said, let's find caterpillars outside,
(11:48):
my caterpillar will be faster than your caterpillar, Like let's
go shoot hoops, let's play horse. The autumn dudes you
named are dudes that are going to try to beat
you in every single aspect of anything and everything. Was
he too intense for their locker room? Were they too
much of pussy's in the locker room to be to
be what they needed to be? Or or was this
(12:09):
a matter of they just were rubbed the wrong way
and and other ways?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I think I think there were there were situations of
are where he called people out? Did it rubbed people
the wrong way? Now? I like I think that piece
of it, Like you know, some people felt like some
people felt like Michael was out for Micah and again,
like you know, there's a fine line when it comes
back who.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Isn't out for who isn't out for themselves? In the league, though,
I mean and that's a that's a real like fed
up way of saying it, like he's not he's the
only selfish one in the locker room that's about himself.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
Like come on, I.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Hear you, I hear you, I hear you. You know,
and I know you know, bar, I'm just kind of
conveying what I've heard, you know, Like, but yeah, but
I do think but I do think that that that
definitely existed there and some people felt like, you know,
he had like a Micah had had certain platforms and
they felt like, you know, there were situations where he
(13:05):
was he was calling guys out where it was uncalled for.
And I again, like that's a fine line, right, like
sometimes sometimes that stuff needs to happen. However, however, you
want to break that down and look at it, like
there were those issues that existed in the locker room,
and one way to fix it, of course, would be
to empower him. And how does that go with the
(13:26):
other guys in the lock which you empower him by
paying them, right, and then you see what the result
of that is. The other way to fix that is
to trade them and you know, like again like I
don't want to make a sound like they're just getting
rid of him because they're not like they tried to
resfind them, you know what I mean. They offered him
a lot of money, So like, this wasn't a this
(13:47):
wasn't a like we need to get rid of him
type of thing. I think the I think it was
more when the efforts to get him resigned failed, that's
when they start to have those bigger picture conversations that
make sense. Like it's like, all right, like we try,
We've tried to do a deal with him. Now we've
got to start to talk about what this looks like
(14:08):
if we walk away from him, what the benefit of
walking away from him is. You know, those bigger picture
conversations were provoked not by we need to get this
guy out of the building. Those bigger picture conversations were
provoked by we haven't been able to get a deal
done yet, so like, how far are we willing to
go to get a deal done? What are the pros
and cons to getting a deal done? When the conversation
(14:32):
about getting a contract done sales in March and April,
Now all of a sudden, you know, those bigger picture
conversations get opened up, and a lot of these sorts
of things are discussed, Albert.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I want to switch gears here and talk a little
bit more about some teams with high expectations this season,
maybe no one higher than the Buffalo Bills and Josh
Allen raining MVP.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Is there a sense though, that if things.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Don't go well this season for the Bills, they might
start looking elsewhere, looking elsewhere for a different head coach.
And it feels like Sean McDermott's been there for a
long time. I love him personally. I'm not saying this
would be a smart move, but you know, owners get
you know, it's like when when they don't win the
Super Bowl, everyone's like, well, why didn't we And we
start sometimes chasing ghosts and making up reasons for what
(15:17):
we need to do in order to win one. Is
there a sense that there's a lot of pressure on
Sean McDermott despite the fact that you know, they've been
incredibly successful.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah. You know what's funny is Brady's just brought that up,
and I just I don't know why I popped up,
popped in my head, but I just thought of Tony
Tungjee with the Buccaneers, if you guys remember, and how
he like rebuilt the Bucks and they had been a
laughing stock. And you know, he won and one and
one with the Bucks, but they didn't get over the top.
And then the opportunity to go get you on John
Grutin and they did it in one I think that's
(15:49):
the sort of thing that you're talking about, right, like
where the guy's done a great job, but like do
we need a new voice And I don't think that
exists there yet, but you know, cause I think John
has done such a great job remaking the organization and
I mean it's easy to forget what they were before
twenty seventeen, but they hadn't been in the playoff in
eighteen years. But yeah, I mean like this is like
(16:12):
so you know, like they've sort of moved off of
the old group of players that they that they that
they won with with Josh Allen this quarterback, that first
group and some of those guys have come back, like
you're Davious White. But I mean, you guys know all
the names of the guys that were that went through there,
you know, like a high Jordan Poyer, you know, Steph Diggs,
(16:33):
all those guys they won with, and now they've got
this young group that they've paid, right, Like, so they've
paid Greg Russo, they've paid for l Bernard, They've paid
Khalil Kir, you know, they they they've they've they've sort
of leaned in now on this younger group, and this
younger group is just getting off the ground at Oliver's
(16:53):
in that group, you know, and and and we'll see
what they can do. I certainly think there does come
a point eventually when if you're knocking on the door
and you're getting the AFC title games but you're never
quite breaking through, that those sorts of questions get asked.
And yeah, I mean like if Josh Allen has another
(17:15):
MVP type of season and they get to the doorstep
and they don't win, I'm sure people will be asking
those questions. I don't think internally they're close to there
anywhere close to you know, asking those sorts of questions
of themselves, like do we need to move on from
Sean McDermott. But certainly the pressure gets ramped up if
if you can't break through.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
So, Ab, I have a question for you, because we're
doing these picks and we're going through the AFC, the
NFC picking division by division. One of the teams that
I struggled with was the Rams only specifically because of
Matthew Stafford's health, the back issue that feels like it's
going to be a problem all year. When did this
first part up? Because would they have given him the
(18:03):
contract they gave him had they known that his back
was in the shape that it was in going into
the year.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
The back has been something that has bothered him for
a while, Like I don't it's it's not new, like
it's I think it's an accumulation of damage would probably
be the best way to put it. And this is
the guy who took a lot of a lot of punishment,
you know, over all those years in Detroit, and so
they have confidence in where he's at because of his
(18:29):
ability to work through other things, Like he had some
for a quarterback, like as extential type injury, you know,
he had like a wrist injury and elbow injury that
like those sorts of things where you're like, you know,
if you know the quarterback, And he actually admitted this
to me a couple of years ago, like that it
was I mean it was the wrist injury was scary
for him, like didn't know, like, okay, what's this going
(18:52):
to be, you know, so he's worked through these sorts
of things in the past. The back has been an
issue in the past, you know, I think as much
as anything else, I think I've kind of explained this
to you guys over the last few weeks, is like
they felt, like, you know, over the course of the
summer that if he's at like eighty five or ninety
(19:14):
percent with the back, well, there's no need to be
like firing any bullets in August, especially when you have
Jimmy Garoppolo who can come in and operate the offense
and practice at a high enough level where everybody's going
to get good work in, right, So like, let's leave
those bullets in the gun and there's no need to
wear them out in August where it could affect him
(19:35):
in January and February. And this is, as much as
anything else, is about being able to get him through
the year and have him at the highest level possible
when you get to January and February and you hope
you're competing for a championship. So I think it's just
sort of where he is physically. I think it's why,
you know, it's why like these questions of retirement have
come up the last couple of years because there is
(19:56):
a lot of damage that he's taken on, but he's
already fought through so much that there's confidence that he's
going to be able to do it. And you know,
it really hasn't affected him as far as giving the
Rams an elite level of play from the position. So
you know, I would never minimize it. It's not me
that's got the back issue here, although I do have
some problems with my own of my own and my
(20:17):
old age, you know, I I like, I just think
like for him, it's it's it's something that he's he's
found a way to deal with these things, and you know,
they've got confidence that he can do it. Doesn't mean
it won't flare up, doesn't mean it won't have to
be managed, but but they have confidence that he can
deal with it.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
All right, Albert, last one for me, we got to
get it from you. What's your super Bowl pick for
the season?
Speaker 4 (20:43):
So I I picked the Bills to beat the Rams
on the Super Bowl. So interesting that you guys brought
those two teams up.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Typical.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, I think I I would just and sometimes like
when I make these picks, Brady. I can be like
a little bit of a prisoner of what I saw
during training camp, because you can kind of if you've
been doing it long as long as I have, like
you kind of get a feel for the way people
are talking about their teams, you know, when you're talking
with them outside, it's just the normal rosie stuff. The
(21:10):
two teams that really came off as like being very
confident where they were over the summer to me were
the Rams and the Broncos. And with the Rams, it
was like this quiet confidence where it was like, I'm
not saying it, but like, this is a really good
group we have here, and DeVante Adams looks dynamite and
they'll be a perfect compliment for Poka. And you know,
our offensive line should be the best since we've been here,
(21:32):
and our defensive line might be the best in football.
So I think the Rams have as long as Stafford
can make it through, I think the Rams have a
really good shout to win the NFC. And I and
I would say this too, like even if they were
going to lose Stafford for two, three, four games, there's
a high level of confidence that Garoppolo could step in
and then Buffalo. I would just say this, like, if
(21:55):
you went to Bill's practice like five or six years ago,
you'd be odd by some of the things that Josh
could do, could do like running around and making things
happen and everything else. And there's this breakneck way to
how he practiced back then what it was this time
watching him, everything now looks so easy to him, and
(22:16):
everything looks so calm, and it just looks like I mean,
I'm serious when I say it's it look like child's play,
Like he was just picking things. I'm going to do this,
I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna do that. It was
just so the idea of him still having like all
that physical ability in his dag and he can just
now he can sit back there and pick someone apart too.
I just I'd be surprised if he's not, like, you know,
(22:39):
the best player in the league again this year. And
I think they've got all those young guys I mentioned,
all those young guys that they've they've drafted and developed
to replace the guys who are out now. They've got
so many ascending players on the team. So I like
the Bills to break through the Rams, to get back
to the Super Bowl and then the Bills to beat
the Rams in Santa Clair.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
How about that there he is, that's the great Albert Brier. See,
so I guess we did ask the right questions this time.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Huh?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
We led you?
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Yeah, And I'm rocking my brain right now to see
if I lost anything on the table. I guess the
only thing you guys would need from me now is
like the Ohio State Grandlin pick right sits around the topic.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Do you like Ohio state money?
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Right there? I think I can get that one right.
I think I can get that one right.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, to go a B to bring those buck guys,
good luck, buddy.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
He's the man at Albert Breer on x IS where
you can find him. Senior NFL reporter, lead Content Strategy

slimmed down from when I saw him before. He looked
like he was in great shape. Have a good time
with the fan.
Speaker 9 (23:55):

think he mentioned it was their first.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
Yeah, let's first.
Speaker 6 (24:01):

Speaker 5 (25:54):
It is time to conclude with the.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Playoffs with the super Bowl. It's the big grand finale
here lead to lap. You take it away. Quarterbacks through
this who goes first?
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Well, all quarterback is through it, but let's let the
quarterbacks start it off. Brady, who you got in your
playoff scenario?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So, as I've talked about before, Tampa Bay from the NFC,
they get the buy. On the AFC side, it's Kansas City,
so playing off in the wildcard round, I've got the
Jacksonville bill Jaguars hosting the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
I've got the Ravens winning that one.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Then I've got the Buffalo Bills hosting the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
The Bills hold the home.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Field advantage they advance, and the Bengals beating the New
England Patriots the seventh seed to advance.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
On the AFC side.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
In the NFC, it's a home team sweep the Green
Bay Packers, they take down the LA Rams, the forty
nine Ers take down the Atlanta Falcons, and the Eagles
take down the Washington Commandos moving on to the divisional round.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
I assume I can go all the way through, y sir, Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
In the AFC, We've got the Bengals advancing to take
on the Buffalo bill and I have the Bengals advancing
to the AFC Championship Game, knocking off Albert Briers.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Buffalo Bills that he's got, I believe winning at all.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And then on the other side, I've got Kansas City
beating the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
They get the buye they're at home.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
We all know the track record Vandy Reid and the
Chiefs as well as their record versus the Baltimore Ravens,
so unfortunately for the Ravens not able to do it
this year. On the NFC side, the Eagles hosting the
San Francisco forty nine Ers. I've got the Eagles being
able to hold the home field advantage winning as the
number two seed, and then the Tampa Bay Bucks coming
off that buy hosting the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
The Battle the Bays, but it's the Green Bay.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Packers who will find their way through to take on
the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. Championship Weekend,
the number one seeded Chiefs hosting the Cincinnati Bengals, and
I've got the Chiefs advancing. The Bengals just can't get
over the top. But a matchup that I think we'd
all love to see. I know I would love to see.
(28:03):
And then on the NFC side, the Eagles hosting the
Green Bay Packers, all the weight and the pressure of
everything trying to get back to the.
Speaker 8 (28:09):
Super Bowl and repeats.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
But it's the Packers led by Micah Parsons Jordan Love
finding the way to the super Bowl, A matchup for
the ages, the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Green
Bay Packers in Santa Clara. But I've got the Chiefs
getting back on top of the NFL, and mind you
(28:32):
doing so with Taylor Swift performing at halftime circle.
Speaker 8 (28:38):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
You can't make it up.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
When Whens the Chiefs, Taylor Swift back on top of
the NFL, it's written manifested.
Speaker 8 (28:51):
If you will, it's all gonna come together.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
How about that?
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Really gonna do this?
Speaker 9 (28:58):
By the way, I think that's an That was Super
Bowl one and this is Super Bowl sixty coming up,
so on the sixtieth anniversary a repeat. Damn.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Yeah, that's impressive, very impressive.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
All right, Jonas, how about you taking off what's your playoffs?
Speaker 6 (29:13):
Sinner?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
All right?
Speaker 9 (29:14):
So that was almost as impressive as this here are
my AFC playoff teams. I've got the Buffalo Bills winning
the AFC East. I've got the Bengals in the North,
the Texans in the South, and yes, i have the
LA Chargers the Bolts winning the AFC West. My wild
card teams out of the AFC are the Ravens, Steelers,
(29:35):
and Chiefs. But I've got Baltimore making a run as
a wild card team, finally getting over the hump and
getting into the Super Bowl. Over on the NFC, who
will they play. They've got the Eagles winning the East.
They've got the Packers, the Falcons and forty nine Ers
as division winners. Your playoff teams elsewhere as the wild
(29:58):
card spots are the Commanders, the Buccaneers, and the Chicago Bears.
But only one can advance from the NFC to take
on the Ravens, and that one is Lee to lapse
Green Bay Packers who go to Santa Clara to take
on the Baltimore Ravens, and the winner is Lamar Jackson
(30:22):
and the Baltimore Ravens who win the Super Bowl Super
Bowl sixty. If you look at the logo, If you
look at the logo, you see some purple. You see
some yellow and a little bit of green there. As
Lee likes to point out, the logo of the Super
Bowl is a predictor of certain super Bowls. But I've
got Baltimore winning it all coming up in Santa Clara
(30:44):
in February.
Speaker 7 (30:45):
All right, two Packers making it to the super Bowl
in both Brady and Jonas's brackets.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
How about you, var who you got in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I hate when Jonas says the same things as me,
but I'll still say it. I mean, I feel like
I want to change it because Jonas doesn't get anything correct.
Speaker 6 (31:01):
But maybe he gets it done here.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I don't know if I got Cincinnati into AFC, Buffalo,
Houston and the Chargers as divisional or conference the division champion,
excuse me. And I have Baltimore, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh as
wildcard teams.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
I believe out of that Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Will end up playing Baltimore and Baltimore will win to
make it to the super Bowl. On the NFC side,
I have Philly, Tampa, Bay, Minnesota, and Arizona winning their divisions,
and I see Green Bay, Washington and the Rams being.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
The wildcard teams.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Now the teams that will emerge from there will be
Philly and I do believe Green Bay, but I believe
that Philadelphia finds a way to win, and they advanced
to the Super Bowl, and you have a Ravens Eagle
Super Bowl and I have Baltimore actually winning the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Sticks picks.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
I like it. I like it, man.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
I think we had a nice little display of like
all the teams that could be in it.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
No one picked Cincinnati will be in the super Bowl, right, No, No,
I don't know, man.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
As I was going through this, it just it feels
like it could be their year, like bringing everything back,
you know, the way they approached the preseason.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
I don't know. Something feels like this could be since
his year.
Speaker 9 (32:35):
I was either going to go Baltimore or Sincy, and
I was either going to go the Rams or the
Packers in the NFC. But Matthew Stafford, the Stafford back
thing concerns me so much. I'm not sure what to
make of Sam Frank because the roster is still there.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
Just will Christian McCaffer be able to get back to
those old ways.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
It's hard for me to pick against Philly, honestly, like
it really is, because I think Philly is so good,
but I didn't want to be too chalky with it,
and so I kind of threw Green Bay in there.
But the Chiefs, obviously, I just I think every single
year we get tired of looking at how downbent they are,
how good they are, and then once we see them play,
we're like, oh, yeah, that's Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid all
(33:14):
this other stud players.

Speaker 9 (33:16):

them to win the super Bowl or even go to
the Super Bowl.

Well, another update for you. As you guys know, I'm
trying to wean off drinking a little bit before the
start of this season, especially before Sunday. I still got
to you till the kickoff of the Packer season because
of the Michael Parsons trade to my Packers. So but
yesterday I was struggling a little bit. I was cleaning
the house and I was thinking to myself, you know
what would really help is just a little cold beverage.
(36:30):
So I decided, you know, it's okay, it's only twelve o'clock,
two o'clock in the afternoon, I'm gonna walk over to
the liquor store and grab myself just a little tall boy,
just a little something to hold me over and lay.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
I asked, you, did you drink yesterday? And you said no.
Speaker 7 (36:44):
Well you are right there, var because right as I
was pulling into said a liquor store, who pulls up
at my roommate says, hey, what do you what are
you doing there? I pulled a quick one. I said, oh,
I'm getting a power ball for tonight's drawing. So I
walked in, got myself power ball that obviously lost, even
though I did.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Get one of the numbers for your roommate going to
the liquor store.
Speaker 7 (37:06):
She just happened to be pulling off of the freeway
right at the liquor store right as I was walking
in there.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
Right, yeah, right, this story does not add up to me.
Speaker 7 (37:15):
I'm telling you the truth.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
So, uh so.
Speaker 7 (37:18):
I got my ticket, I got one of the numbers
around I got sixty one. But uh yeah, so the
Lord works in mysterious ways. Fellows kept me from from
drinking yesterday. Lord, yeah, that was something else.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
It was your neighbor who happened to be trying to
get drunk like you.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Yeah yeah, So we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
We've got another few days until the kickoff of the
Packer season.
Speaker 5 (37:42):
I mean, it's just it's easy.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
Just don't drink during the week and the weekend comes
around and let a fly who cares.
Speaker 7 (37:47):
