Let's talk a little bit about complimentary breakfasts at hotels,
and I want to throw a quick holiday and Express
cinnamon rolls are literally top ten in my book, like
tier one, number one overall. Pick we're going, I'm going
straight up holiday and Express Holiday. There's cinnamon rolls Bro
(00:22):
to die for.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I'm going with a dirty one. And maybe this is
a California thing. Vagabond in Black Bear Diner built into
it steaking eggs in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Oh, that's actually that's dirty And that's a guy that's
that's traveled some places in the central California, like Bro
the vagabond. First of all, is you drive by that?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You see that?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I didn't know until I was when I was like fourteen,
Vagabond was like a spelling word in eighth grade or
whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It says synonym hobo the whole less. But yeah, if
you put they are traveling.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I want to say, it's that's little twelve dollars steak
and eggs at the Black Bear built in, like the
built in, like the McDonald's at Walmart's og built in
Black Bear Diners.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
And honestly, like I know they're in there whipping up
powdered eggs at three am.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I don't want to you don't want to know. The
less you know the better, The less you know the better.
And I know it's a risky topic.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
A lot of these commenting breakfasts are literally eggs in
a bag, and like the couple plane donuts are bagels
and some toasts and some butter.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Now, a nice waffle maker goes a long ways, except
for like you're at like a soccer tournament and your
whole team wants waffles. Yeah, I'm getting the fruit loops.
I'm getting the fruit loops.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But the most important part is what's their juice dispenser?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Very much?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Is are they o g where they have pictures? Okay,
which is which is a nice touch. But I want
the straight up giant machine with the push give straight apple,
straight up apple, concentrate.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Juice now, I will say, and I think this, this varies.
This may me not fall in the chain necessarily. But
a hotel that has an omelet bar option instantly raises
it from from below and eight like could be above
and eight automatic.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You're above an eight. No, and you're getting a couple
of star automatic. You're a couple of stars in your yeop,
I might take I might have time that day.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
One thousand, there might be a bring the Juice review
that comes out at the bag of Bond that's got
their got their omin buffet rocket.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Dude, throw a little glob of sour cream on there, brother,
lot NFL.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
NFL, We're in the swing of week two NFL football trenches.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The only thing that's on my TV from Thursday to
Monday right now.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, freaking football.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, my lady's sitting. I don't let you're attach to
your phone too much.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm like, I got I got bets, I got fantasy games.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I just there's this boys who I want to know.
I'm checking wide receiver health throughout the.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
League, making sure that my guys are still gonna perform.
I'm doing I'm running the calculations, know how many points
I gotta score with the guys left on my n
to see if I'm gonna win? Like, do you not
understand how stressful that is? And I'm I'm sitting here
like sweating a fantasy game that it like I ain't
got that much skin in.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The game, but I got skin in the game. Not
even that I like ball, No, I like ball. I
want to see we're offensive guys. I want to see
some points, and we saw some points. We saw some
points scored first game.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm gonna look at right away, and it puts us
into a tough topic.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But Bengals Jaguars. Okay, before you go, I got two
topics on this.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Let's get it. Turf toe.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
A couple couple qbs in the league right now managing
turf toe. Here's what I have to say. The definition
of turf toe occurs when a ligament under the big
toe is hyper extended.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The name turf toth. It's not just in your toe either.
I think turf toe needs to get renamed.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I could agree with the renaming of why we're calling
a turf up turf toe.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
If you tell you're if you told me you got
turf toe for the first time, I'm thinking you have
like a rash something.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, I'm thinking something in your nail.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Turf toe must be part of athletes foot.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I agree with.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That sounds a little soft right now, and it needs
to be like, oh, like.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The layman fan that is just a pure fan of ball,
not really like they never really play it. They like
turf toe.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
They're like they're on arthritis were exactly, but.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Like I've had it, I've played on it. All we're
doing is scrumming and on our toes like it really
got jacked to. I know there's things like club foot
and club feed like all that, but like something in
there where it's a conglomerate of like when you blow
your hand off with a firework, that's what your foot
feels like when you're when you got turf toe.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It needs to get more aggressive, get way more aggressive.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
With that being said, Burrow, first of all, I've been
four fantasy leagues. He is my quarterback in all four
fantasy leagues. I'm getting slugged on tonight, slugged on, sick
to my stomach.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I know that's some sleepers on the on that players
A man.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'm looking at Daniel Jones, baby on the eyebo him.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
He's on. He's on my roster. I traded away Sam
Donald for him.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Come on, I'm gonna throw you some future Bengals quarterback
scenarios and I want us to air him out in
one sentence or less.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Already I already think I know where you're going for
and he'd better be getting a call.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I want your reaction one sentence or less. Ready, James Winston.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's a w I'm gonna eat it.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That mustache is rocking, but I don't know if he's
the fit for him.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Kirk Cousins Kirk o bangs kind of the shoe kind
of fit the shoe kind. That's kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I think the guy they have now Jake Browning, guy
could ball one sentence or less.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Gatory player of the Year and washing for Washington. Dude
knows how too.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Is a sleeper friend of the show. Taylor Heineke. Okay,
now this is the dark horse. Andy Dalton comes back
and I just want to know this.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I need you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Who's the care syndrome. He's come back on a syndrome
era from Incredibles one. If he's the quarterback, a little.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Reunion magic and this would be their division. You would
have Andy Dalton the quarterback. Listen, Sandy Bengals once again,
you would have Joe Flack go back in the division.
But for the Browns you got a.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Saggy Aaron Rodgers with the.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Steelers and then just the young buck freak athlete lamar
As the fourth three old Heads and Lamar I.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Kind of like it a lot. I kind of like
it a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And I think that Lamar runs circles around those teams,
Oh my god, circles If those and they start getting
knocked down, I think Lamar has got a friend smile
on his face for the rest of the year when they're.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
In conference and they might sit him. No, like Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Come on the defenses, on the defense, on the defensive
side of the ball, from.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Taking on fantasy. They are what every album I'm trading.
I'm trading Bangals.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And going really athletic defense old not that mobile quarterback.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah. Jamis though, on the real needs to get a call.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Jameis and Winston needs needs to get his affairs in
order for where he's at right now and start landing
the plane to go become the Cincinnati bank.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Like think about what he would do for that city.
Just think about everywhere he's gone.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like you thought Nola was a good fit, I think,
who day, Come on, the Cincinnati Bengals are going to
eat up from Jameis and Winston if he's If he
hasn't gotten a call, I'm I'd be a little shocked,
to be.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Honest, I think again, throw out your way that I
want to left. What do you got shud Door Sanders.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Is there or Dylan Gabriel, Like, is there are there
browns Now sitting in a position and maybe offload a
quarterback to a team in need.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'm gonna go big brain idea the entire time that
now they have assets to get rid of. I'm gonna
go with no.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And my reason is I think the guys that I
named are all proven backups that could rally. Honestly, you
should bring two or three of these guys. You should
get Jamis GM's phones. You should, seriously you go get Jamis.
You should get Andy Dalton, you should go get Heinike,
go in there and say, boys, you know this.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You established Jake Browning Is he's a good backup.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
He he was.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
A good player in high school. He was a good
player in college. Okay, he's threw the pill around in college.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Now. He had some good games in the league so
far too.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And he's used to having a pretty star stut of
wide receiver room, wide receiver room, which is like, hey,
just get the pill in their hand. He has that
at the Bengals. I'm I'm really intrigued to see how
they handle this like it is three months, but like
in my eyes, three months in the NFL is a
long time you've got If you want him to be
able to come back and be in his shouldn't go
win you need to set a foundation right now and
(09:03):
go like the I think the way that they handle
this on whether they go out and get themselves a
proven winner or if they stick and we're in the
flow where they're at, it's gonna decide how the Bengals
of you their.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Opportunity to still be a winner when Joe Burrow comes
back in four.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Months for four months though, but four months is it
like he he's at best coming back like week fifteen
at this point?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No? Yeah, and which is it is?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Still he could be circling that on the schedule.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
He's a true competitor. Oh no, And I hope he is.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And that sucks because you watch the Quarterback Netflix documentary
and he literally said, I don't want to ever win
come I don't want to win Player of the You anymore,
which he's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Come back Player of the Year. This happen again, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But to even talk a little bit about that, like
whin the are we just gonna h go buy some
alignment for him.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I saw a pretty funny tweet today saying like there's
one point eight million OBESTE people in the United States
and the Bengals can't find five of them to block
for Joper, And I'm like, and they had like it,
but they had like there's data behind it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Of course it's no.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I've initially went to, like, are we gonna go back
to seeing like the Eagles back during like we're detecting
our greatest asset?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
No, No, No, the guy who's.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Throwing the ball for you is the guys gonna do that?
So yeah, what are we up to in this room?
The twelve fifteen guys that are sitting in that room
going it happened again? It feels like on hot day form.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I've interviewed probably out of one position group in my life,
Bengals O linemen the most, and they're all great dudes,
and they're all good. I think they can't stay healthy either. No,
they're they're like they're not like a there's not they are.
I've never seen them be like a starting five unit
that makes it, you know, a fourteen game stretch.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And that's and that's always tough, Like, yeah, there's if
there's one position that that can't really afford to lose continuity,
where we just move is it's one of it's that position.
Let's move on.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Giants Cowboys, Giants Cowboys. Absolute shootout, Let's shoot out. Let's uh.
My question to you on this one, Brandon aubrey sixty
four yard game winner probably could have made it much further.
At what point is it silly to run him out
there field goal try? I think he's going to touch eighty.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I don't think it's silly. I think he's gonna hit
a eighty yard. It always comes down a relationship with
player and coach. Yeah, they're building a lot of trust.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He's out there and knocks down a long range field goal,
like it's like in the video game, like trust boosts
by fifteen percent. Like he's gaining that trust where coach
is looking at like seventy you got that? And if
I look my kicker in the eye and I say
you got seventy and he's like yep, yeah, taking the chance.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I could see like a Denver Sunday Night football him
being like can.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Go altitudes and like alt dude, timing. What type of
game are we in? Like, yeah, maybe it's like we'd
love to get this seventy yard field goal right now
before that, maybe he'd like, let's run it out there,
give me a shot. I'm it's also in your coach's head,
like that's a pocket of three points if you know
he's dialed from you know, Pat range all the way
(12:12):
to the fifty yard line, Like that's a pocket three points.
So I know that I got and I'm building like
AOD report.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I don't even think it becomes silly. I'd love to
see an eighty yard field goal though.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I think it's gonna happen. I would be, it's gonna
be circumstantial. It's gonna be circum How many fantasy points
would that be? That's got to be at least ten alone?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Doesn't it go like I'm not all tuned in on
isn't like from a certain yard it's just like one, two, three, like.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's got to get but that it has to hit like
a threshold where it's like this is.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Statemid wild fantasy sit where if your quarterback gets a tackle,
he gets auto houndo if he goes out there for
anything past seventy. He should be getting like auto twenty
five points. Yeah, I think that that would be a
fair you're setting yourself up to where like that kicker
becomes the commodity. Sure, like all of a sudden, some
dufist is drafted a kicker like second round because he's hitting.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Hey, we're talking about fantasy teams right now. Look at
the Falcons. They signed their got rid of Coup, brought
this guy in. He's smacking field goals like it's nobody's business.
Probably won the job getting player of the game, getting
Player of the game with two players. He doesn't know
who these guys are, but he's like, oh, I know Bijeon,
(13:20):
like I see him on TV.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And there's this other giant black dude.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It was like d Alfirst and the interview ladies like
this is d and he's like, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Nice to meet shoot kids at the post game Sunday
Light Football post conference somehow.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
My point is kicker stalks high.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
But we just went on a rant last week talking
about kickers and operations in the Socialist and I think
it's like one of those things that just turns over
every week. Yeah, we saw some great kicks. We saw
some great special teams play.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yes, in a.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
College world, I saw some phenomenal effort plays from the
specialists himselves.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So and really I watched them.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Kicks were operational penalty back back to kid up five yards,
back to kicker at five yards, and it blows up
their entire mindset for that kick. Like I think a
guy like Brandon Aubrey who just lines up and knows like,
I got it in my bag for till sixty, so
I give up five personal fouls or fire before you
knock me back to there. It's very interesting to watch
and I'm fired up. I love when the game's firing
(14:14):
on all points.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
What I want. I want the action.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I don't want to watch no good ball. I'm gonna
watch ball, and I will fight through a tough game.
But like when it's firing and the offenses are looking
good and everything kind of.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
It's action, pick sixes, big returns, all that to it
and then it's I think that's what fires me up
about it being back.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
If it fires me up. And you mentioned special teams,
let's get into the Colts. Okay, Colts Broncos. First of all,
close game. Do you think the Broncos are going over.
Maybe they extended the field goal block meeting today. I
bet you they extended that meeting five extra minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, it's all on Excel sheets and they block it out.
That Excel thing went one.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
More, one more, call them up. It was a five
minute period.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It was.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was a five minute period, and now it's bold
all Caps and it's a ten minute period.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Best Boe. I'm like Ted's coach Kane right now, and.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Most likely we went back to basics. Yeah, they went
to like day one install put it up on the board. Fellas, Yeah,
this is our alignment.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Maybe like a referee colleague zooms in of the team meeting. Guys,
you gotta make sure we're gonna call this. Yes, don't
the dudes and dunts a field goal block?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Facts.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now that being said, at what point are the Colts
considered legit? And before you say they are right now,
I just want to remind you one thing. Last year
the New Orleans Saints, Yes, started off a hot to
and O and they proceeded to have a noseedive.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But at what point are the Colts legit?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I think that as an organization they've been they've been
a real good organization. I agree, fifteen twenty years right,
even longer. I think they're even one of the longest
standing organizations in the NFL. They have a culture of winning,
They know what it takes. I think that what they
did with the quarterback situation, they they really truly did evaluate, right.
I think we had some talk about what the what
(16:01):
the standard was for Daniel Jones coming in Anthony Richards,
trying to meet that, exceed that what that looked like.
But I also think we overlooked the fact like they
probably brought in Dania Jones because they.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Thought he was their guy. I think that's the fact too.
What's up.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
We told you we had our guy. We like how
he's looking. He manages their offense. We want to manage
our offense. We still have Jonathan Taylor. Let's not forget
about that. You have a pretty good defense too.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Their defense is historically been a good defense. Tough building
to play in.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Fans are rabbit winnable division, winnable division, Like, there's some
stars that are starting to align for for them. But
you're one hundred percent right, Like, as much as we
liked the good, we're so early that, like I.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Need to see what the Colt what Dane Jones and
the Colts look like like Week.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Seven, next few games they go Titans, Rams, Raiders, Cardinals, Chargers, Titans.
Then they hit the Steelers, Falcons, Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Tans, Titans have been playing good ball.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I think they could split. They'll probably split that series.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Or too and two there. Yeah, I think the Cardinals
are winnable. I think that the Rams.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
The Rams will be a good test. That'll be that'll
be a Week four matchup.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I think that'll assuming we look at going like, okay, yeah,
can they compete? No? If they they this last weekend
and they were good, Matthew Stafford and Davante An I'm
just still trying to figure themselves out.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
But they're winning in the process, and so I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's also a little scary. We can get into talking
about that because one, we know what Davante is. I
know he likes the ball and he makes it very
evident in media. And then the way that he he
talks about his game is like I want the pill.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
He's an alpha who needs the ball.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Correct and you want that in your room. And you
got Pooko over here, who's just you can have when
your team gets cut in the eyes, is gets put
in concussion particle.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Put it out and put it out. Give me an
eyepatch that thing up.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'll play one hand, one eye.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I don't care handmaid's till.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You're trying to figure out where he's going to handle that.
Their run games, their run game or whatever. But I
was watching the game and he taught getting Devonte Adams
like four times in the red zone, like four back
to back plays. Two of them were catchable passes, two
of them weren't. And I'm like trying to understand as
like is this a good thing? Are we Is DeVante
getting frustrated that, yes he's getting the ball thrown to him,
(18:14):
but now they're not all the best passes he's been
getting thrown or is he like fired up that, like
my guy's trying.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To give me the ball.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think they'd get better and get open or have
more easier, more contested pills that I can go get.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I think from a wide out standpoint, and we've been
over this in the past, like you need the opportunity,
right if you are like a guy like aj Brown,
Right now, he's upset, he's frustrated, right, he's internally can't
publicize that because they're winning, they're on a hot streak
and realistically that this is up. But there's such a
(18:46):
good running team on the Eagles right now to where
they just could throw out Davante Smith and AJ Brown
and be like, hey, I know you want to you
want you got to stop the run, but maybe give
us some pressure.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
We're going to dice you up. No, we're going to
dice you up. So Davante him.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So I'm getting used to having the chase peak.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Exactly Davante though, I think the fact that instead of
getting I don't know what that four play sequence ended in,
but like he much rather have four unconnected passes and
have zero catches than have zero targets and zero catches.
And that's like not even a debate. Yeah, so they'll
get on pace with that. It is week two. They
(19:26):
didn't play a bunch of the preseason. Matt Stafford isn't
his fullest, isn't.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
His fullest there hooping, he's hoopy, he's doing his things,
doing his one eleventh right now. And I think that
they again, they were my sleeper, sneaky super Bowl pick.
Now that being said, I think Green Bay Packers might
run the table. The Green Bay Packers defense, it looks
so good.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Also, the all whites for the Green Bay Packers is
so sexy.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right when I saw it come on screen, I texted
you I was like, these have got me feeling nicey, Like, yeah,
I'm not a not a Packers fan by trade bris
Packers fan, but like those uniforms were.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I might buy if Evan Williams all white cher seed.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Just because, just because, come on, Moseby defensive edge flash
linebacker that used to be safe.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I'm gonna get a triple XL No, just cause, just because,
let's go get it. I wanted to throw it under
a hoodie, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Shirt?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Love that?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, I love that. But their defense, I know they
had a pretty solid defense before they even added superior
talent on the defensive end, right, but like now with
him in there, and granted I was watching that game,
I was watching from an offensive line stampoint. The Commanders
have got some things to sort out. Okay, there were
some pretty poor offensive line play in that game. Granted,
good defense. Lots of looks Micah Parsons breathing down my
(20:42):
neck on one side. I know for a fact, they
game plan to be like, how are we gonna get
extra touches on him? Because this one on one matchup
is gonna be tough.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
But they look good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Jordan Love is piecing people together, moving that offense down
the field.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Jordan Boom sticking there, I ain't gonna get the defense
fired up.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Come on, boys, there, they are.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Putting together something that looks nice, and I know that
they're Coach Matt Lafloor, right, Yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Dude seems like a gamer. He seems like always has
he always has been.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But every time I see him, he kind of just
gives me that look of that dude that like like
I watch more film than you. Yeah, Like I'm psychlic
home and worry about what I'm gonna run on two
point play and it's my nineteenth best option at my
two point play, but I'm so dialed that, like I'm
thinking ten pages ahead of you.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I think there's certain coaches in the league who have
come so close to winning Super Bowls.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
There's actually a lot of teams right now.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
In that conversation, you know, there's a lot of teams
the bills that they know, they know they should.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
They have the pieces and the Packers.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
By the way the Packers have they know they can't
They always get they can't get over the hump.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Can't get past the divisional, can't get can't get to
the to the next thing they need to win.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Uh, the Ravens are even in that conversation right now.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I feel for the Ravens in that conversation. Yeah, because
like if there's a team that deserves to there's super
team dance like it's then like I want, I can't
wait for the day that I get to see Lamar
Jackson play in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I think the Lions fall in that category two and
last year, they know they beat the Commanders. I don't
know what's gonna happen the rest of the year, but
they I don't want to say they were looking ahead,
but they were expected to win that game and they didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
And I think it's just like, guys, we need to
beat perfect.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Like whoever wins the Super Bowl this year, they're gonna
have to have a healthy team because there's so much talent.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That's always I think that's number one.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Look at the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Their stocks just went down drastically, and it's not because
they're not a good team. Otherwise it's because everyone else is.
There's good ball right now. There's good ball.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
The same thing we noted last week, Like there's tons
of good quarterback play. Yeah, and I think quarterback and
not that your quarterbacks the end all be all where
they're gonna be a good football team. I think it's
got a.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Good offense, wins games, defense wins championships. That will always
be true.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
It's leadership and all that. But like, there is just
good talent across the board of every team right now,
and I think it's it puts you in a good
position to.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Be watching good football. I want to talk about Eagles Chiefs, like,
sure we got a great Super Bowl rematch.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Look at a Super Bowl rematch. I think it was
a really telltale sign that the Kansas City Chiefs and
need talent to throw.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
The ball to. I think there's a lot going on there.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
And like I said, I through my brother's experience, I
got to learn about the insides of it. I think
it's a little bit of a culture thing too. Yeah,
it's a little culture thing. Hey, you guys have been
on top for a while. A lot of distractions. Not
gonna throw trade at Travis Kelcey right now, they got
a lot of good tight ends in that room. Hey man,
I'm a podcast baryon Taylor Swift opening restaurants. Like I know,
(23:37):
there's dudes that are Robert Tanian, who is a top
five tight end in the league. No great Jared Willy's.
There are two tight end type offense. You keep trying
to feed this due the pill. He's making the plays
he should, but he's also making missing a lot of
plays that in a game like that, the margin fair
is one play, two play three play game. You can't
have that. And I think there's a little bit And
(23:59):
I said this, people say, oh, preseason doesn't matter. They
lost the Super Bowl, they lost all three preseason games.
They're now oh and tow the creep of doubt in
their head. Nope, you lost the super Bowl, you lost
all three preseason games, and you you're oh, and to you,
doubt has creeped in and now you're going, uh, and
(24:21):
by the way, you're playing the Giants next week on
Sunday Night football. Who had a dog fight against a
good Dallas Cowboys team who should have beat the Chiefs.
I mean, the excuse me, the Eagles and rust looks good.
Russ almost beat his all time passing record, his personal one.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And if you look at the way that the Seattles
are playing ball, like they're kind of looking like old yeah, like.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Giants, Giants, Sorry, apologies, yeah, but rust looks good. Rust
looks good. Good.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yes, And you know, I'm all we're talking about my
brains firing. But the Giants like they're playing like, yes,
they've been tough games here right, lostless last week, but
like they haven't been in those games in the last
six seven years. They haven't been good.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
In they got some juice in that fight, and they
got some and that was a divisional game.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Correct, That's a good sign for the divisions. That's, of
course the game of football that like I want, I'm
tired of seeing like a perennial.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Front runner in a division.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
No, I get you to watch every division game and
like I'm not like I won't watch every single game,
but like I want to sit down on a Sunday
and be like, oh these mean something, Like these ye
flying around it always means something. But like this division
game is heightened right now. You can feel that there's
pressure on winning this football game.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Chiefs got to go. They gotta play the Giants and
then they got the Ravens. Yeah, and I want to
say they got the Lions next.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Maybe brutal. It's a little gauntlet. Man.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You're you're zero to five for the first time and
who knows how.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Long and now way down. Like guys who are injured
are like, do I want to come back for this year?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Losing that edge.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
The guys that are fighting, they get back on the
field because they're there. They want to be a part
of the winning.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm always good. I'm a ways on good. That's what
I'm saying. I've never been that type of guy.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But like I want to go back to that point
of you lose, you lose the Super Bowl. There's one
lose three in a row. There's four lose two more
four plus two six from a locker room standpoint, and
you can morales. Morale, they've they've had a really good morale.
But like your locker room, you've been in the locker
room many games in a row. There's not a lot
of things to look forward to. It's not a bright space. Yes,
(26:32):
you can say like guys are picking each other up,
but like dudes are just coming in when you're on
an H to six run like that. As much as
winning is contagious, losing is contagious. Yeah, and right now
they haven't had that taste, haven't had that little spark
come back in Like we're popping the bottles to night like, yeah,
they're having more of like I'll hang out my lady,
maybe a call boys tomorrow, drinkson. We need to get
(26:52):
back to the other side of the having a good time.
And it's gonna be interesting to see if, if, if
Andy Reid and team where.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
There can put their foot in the ground and change direction.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
My last thing NFL wise, CJ. Stroud's warm up. Okay,
with the basketball, I think it's kind of lame. Why
do you need to be dribbling in basketball pre game
if you're about to throw football.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm not saying he's at the point now where he's
a good enough quarterback, but I want to know what
quarterback coach?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
What? Who put that in his ear? And why?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Because you do watch these Twitter videos TikTok and kids
look up to guys like c J. Stroud Like all
respect to him, but what what are we doing here?
What benefit is there?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I will tell you I think as you're a multi
sport guy. Of course, as a multi sport athlete, I
kind of like the fact that he's in a different
lane with working hand eye coordination. Take it, he's working
both He's working both sides of his brain. He's working
in his left hand, he's working his right hand. There's
a whole bunch of other little factors that are going
into that than just like purely like is he doing
(28:00):
this drill to play better out here?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I think you see a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Of those drills waited balls bands. Jamison't doing his little
hip dance four movement that's throwing the ball, But I
think bouncing the ball gets him into that float right,
Like you've been out in the backyard just chilling. When
you's a kid bouncing ball around having a good time,
all of a sudden, you just find yourself.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Dude, you feel like I feel like Kobe. Yeah, like
feeling good.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I can lean into the Maybe that's more, Maybe that's
got something so far to do with Like I just
needed to get into a mental rhythm of moving right
because I can go and take that and say, think
about how he feels. He makes two good throws, He's
back into that same rhythmic feeling that he had. He
was bouncing the basketball. Yeah, so I'm like, you may
not like it, but if either, but like, at the
(28:42):
end of the day, if he goes out there and
if he wants to dribble a basketball, if you go throw.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
A bullpen, catch a bullpen, play a game of pickleball,
I'm gonna shoot forty three throws.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
He goes out and puts up fifty points on fantasy
and wins the game. I don't care if he's out
there drinking a PEPSI like, maybe it's a cattlest.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Centers to drink.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Maybe we get him dial I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I don't really care, but I just wanted to play ball.
So college this week, man, dude, talk to me. But
you got SEC football looks different. Yeah, Like, first thing
that comes to my mind. I watched a lot of
SEC football.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
One of my games of the week that I sat
down and watched the entire game was Ole Miss Arkansas
that had that circled you know, Ole Miss is my
team that I'm looking for. Yeah, I thought that was
gonna be a really good game, and it turned out
to be a phenomenal game. But Tennessee Georgia, like we're
putting up forty to fifty points in an SEC football game.
Looking at you know, maybe maybe a twenty eight twenty
(29:37):
one game where at the gam at Georgia score some
points at the end of the game shootout, but like
it's really spread across the board, and really I was
driving over here thinking, I think that's assisted in the
NIL team. I think you've gotten to a point now
where you may have had a phenomenal chance, you know,
defensively recruiting and didn't get to spend as much time
(29:58):
on the offensive side of the ball. Now with money
and everything, like these SEC teams still get to play
dominant defense. And yeah, you score forty five points. I
don't know if that's a dominant defensive outing. No, but
they played so hard for the entire game. I'm still
I'm still looking on a defense like you put up
one hundred and forty five tackles. Yeahd of winning that game.
(30:18):
You were physical the entire game. We did what it
took to win, right. I still think that's a good
defensive performance, even then we gave up forty points.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I think too that both defenses and offenses, offenses, you
could put pieces to the puzzle together where it's like,
you know, this guy runs a four to two and
as a forty inch for rol line averages three thirty
and they're all Americans, like we're gonna be a good
offense defense. There is a little bit of unity where
(30:49):
it's like, hey, if everyone's doing their job, and maybe
like I'm an edge rusher and I'm supposed to have
contained right here, but I got cut inside. I'm gonna
take this path and my outside backer could make me right.
That comes with years and reps of playing together, getting
to know what's this guy's butt doing, what's going on
over here, like blah blah blah blah. We we had
teams where it's the same guys who all got to
(31:10):
come back for the next season on the defensive side
of the ball, and you're like people people in the
stands are like, oh, great player, Like yo, that play
was that was not the scheme. That was not the scheme.
But he made him right. He made him right, and
they did this and they have it. And I think
as the year goes on, we will see those overs
go less and less successful, which sucks because I'm an
over better.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, but I do agree with you very.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Much on that, and it's not necessarily all the way
across the port. Maybe some of these offenses are just
firing on all cylinders.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And I think watching the game, it is like that, Yeah,
yes we're getting some good defense, but it is firing
on all cylinders of ball. And I like seeing that
early early on in college ball. I like seeing that
because that means that there's a confident quarterback, there's a
confident skill guys around their O lines, confident coaches able
to open up that playbook a little bit more. Right,
let's throw some more wrinkles in earlier rather than later.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
This
Let's talk a little bit about complimentary breakfasts at hotels,
and I want to throw a quick holiday and Express
cinnamon rolls are literally top ten in my book, like
tier one, number one overall. Pick we're going, I'm going
straight up holiday and Express Holiday. There's cinnamon rolls Bro
(00:22):
to die for.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I'm going with a dirty one. And maybe this is
a California thing. Vagabond in Black Bear Diner built into
it steaking eggs in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Oh, that's actually that's dirty And that's a guy that's
that's traveled some places in the central California, like Bro
the vagabond. First of all, is you drive by that?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You see that?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I didn't know until I was when I was like fourteen,
Vagabond was like a spelling word in eighth grade or
whatever it was.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It says synonym hobo the whole less. But yeah, if
you put they are traveling.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I want to say, it's that's little twelve dollars steak
and eggs at the Black Bear built in, like the
built in, like the McDonald's at Walmart's og built in
Black Bear Diners.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
And honestly, like I know they're in there whipping up
powdered eggs at three am.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I don't want to you don't want to know. The
less you know the better, The less you know the better.
And I know it's a risky topic.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
A lot of these commenting breakfasts are literally eggs in
a bag, and like the couple plane donuts are bagels
and some toasts and some butter.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Now, a nice waffle maker goes a long ways, except
for like you're at like a soccer tournament and your
whole team wants waffles. Yeah, I'm getting the fruit loops.
I'm getting the fruit loops.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
But the most important part is what's their juice dispenser?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Very much?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Is are they o g where they have pictures? Okay,
which is which is a nice touch. But I want
the straight up giant machine with the push give straight apple,
straight up apple, concentrate.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Juice now, I will say, and I think this, this varies.
This may me not fall in the chain necessarily. But
a hotel that has an omelet bar option instantly raises
it from from below and eight like could be above
and eight automatic.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
You're above an eight. No, and you're getting a couple
of star automatic. You're a couple of stars in your yeop,
I might take I might have time that day.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
One thousand, there might be a bring the Juice review
that comes out at the bag of Bond that's got
their got their omin buffet rocket.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Dude, throw a little glob of sour cream on there, brother,
lot NFL.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
NFL, We're in the swing of week two NFL football trenches.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The only thing that's on my TV from Thursday to
Monday right now.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, freaking football.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Okay, my lady's sitting. I don't let you're attach to
your phone too much.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I'm like, I got I got bets, I got fantasy games.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I just there's this boys who I want to know.
I'm checking wide receiver health throughout the.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
League, making sure that my guys are still gonna perform.
I'm doing I'm running the calculations, know how many points
I gotta score with the guys left on my n
to see if I'm gonna win? Like, do you not
understand how stressful that is? And I'm I'm sitting here
like sweating a fantasy game that it like I ain't
got that much skin in.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The game, but I got skin in the game. Not
even that I like ball, No, I like ball. I
want to see we're offensive guys. I want to see
some points, and we saw some points. We saw some
points scored first game.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm gonna look at right away, and it puts us
into a tough topic.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But Bengals Jaguars. Okay, before you go, I got two
topics on this.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Let's get it. Turf toe.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
A couple couple qbs in the league right now managing
turf toe. Here's what I have to say. The definition
of turf toe occurs when a ligament under the big
toe is hyper extended.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
The name turf toth. It's not just in your toe either.
I think turf toe needs to get renamed.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I could agree with the renaming of why we're calling
a turf up turf toe.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
If you tell you're if you told me you got
turf toe for the first time, I'm thinking you have
like a rash something.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, I'm thinking something in your nail.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Turf toe must be part of athletes foot.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I agree with.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That sounds a little soft right now, and it needs
to be like, oh, like.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The layman fan that is just a pure fan of ball,
not really like they never really play it. They like
turf toe.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
They're like they're on arthritis were exactly, but.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Like I've had it, I've played on it. All we're
doing is scrumming and on our toes like it really
got jacked to. I know there's things like club foot
and club feed like all that, but like something in
there where it's a conglomerate of like when you blow
your hand off with a firework, that's what your foot
feels like when you're when you got turf toe.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It needs to get more aggressive, get way more aggressive.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
With that being said, Burrow, first of all, I've been
four fantasy leagues. He is my quarterback in all four
fantasy leagues. I'm getting slugged on tonight, slugged on, sick
to my stomach.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I know that's some sleepers on the on that players
A man.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I'm looking at Daniel Jones, baby on the eyebo him.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
He's on. He's on my roster. I traded away Sam
Donald for him.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Come on, I'm gonna throw you some future Bengals quarterback
scenarios and I want us to air him out in
one sentence or less.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Already I already think I know where you're going for
and he'd better be getting a call.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I want your reaction one sentence or less. Ready, James Winston.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
That's a w I'm gonna eat it.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Gardner Minshew.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That mustache is rocking, but I don't know if he's
the fit for him.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Kirk Cousins Kirk o bangs kind of the shoe kind
of fit the shoe kind. That's kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I think the guy they have now Jake Browning, guy
could ball one sentence or less.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Gatory player of the Year and washing for Washington. Dude
knows how too.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Is a sleeper friend of the show. Taylor Heineke. Okay,
now this is the dark horse. Andy Dalton comes back
and I just want to know this.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I need you.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Who's the care syndrome. He's come back on a syndrome
era from Incredibles one. If he's the quarterback, a little.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Reunion magic and this would be their division. You would
have Andy Dalton the quarterback. Listen, Sandy Bengals once again,
you would have Joe Flack go back in the division.
But for the Browns you got a.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Saggy Aaron Rodgers with the.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Steelers and then just the young buck freak athlete lamar
As the fourth three old Heads and Lamar I.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Kind of like it a lot. I kind of like
it a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
And I think that Lamar runs circles around those teams,
Oh my god, circles If those and they start getting
knocked down, I think Lamar has got a friend smile
on his face for the rest of the year when they're.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
In conference and they might sit him. No, like Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Come on the defenses, on the defense, on the defensive
side of the ball, from.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Taking on fantasy. They are what every album I'm trading.
I'm trading Bangals.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And going really athletic defense old not that mobile quarterback.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah. Jamis though, on the real needs to get a call.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Jameis and Winston needs needs to get his affairs in
order for where he's at right now and start landing
the plane to go become the Cincinnati bank.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Like think about what he would do for that city.
Just think about everywhere he's gone.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Like you thought Nola was a good fit, I think,
who day, Come on, the Cincinnati Bengals are going to
eat up from Jameis and Winston if he's If he
hasn't gotten a call, I'm I'd be a little shocked,
to be.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Honest, I think again, throw out your way that I
want to left. What do you got shud Door Sanders.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Is there or Dylan Gabriel, Like, is there are there
browns Now sitting in a position and maybe offload a
quarterback to a team in need.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I'm gonna go big brain idea the entire time that
now they have assets to get rid of. I'm gonna
go with no.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And my reason is I think the guys that I
named are all proven backups that could rally. Honestly, you
should bring two or three of these guys. You should
get Jamis GM's phones. You should, seriously you go get Jamis.
You should get Andy Dalton, you should go get Heinike,
go in there and say, boys, you know this.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You established Jake Browning Is he's a good backup.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
He he was.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
A good player in high school. He was a good
player in college. Okay, he's threw the pill around in college.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Now. He had some good games in the league so
far too.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And he's used to having a pretty star stut of
wide receiver room, wide receiver room, which is like, hey,
just get the pill in their hand. He has that
at the Bengals. I'm I'm really intrigued to see how
they handle this like it is three months, but like
in my eyes, three months in the NFL is a
long time you've got If you want him to be
able to come back and be in his shouldn't go
win you need to set a foundation right now and
(09:03):
go like the I think the way that they handle
this on whether they go out and get themselves a
proven winner or if they stick and we're in the
flow where they're at, it's gonna decide how the Bengals
of you their.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Opportunity to still be a winner when Joe Burrow comes
back in four.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Months for four months though, but four months is it
like he he's at best coming back like week fifteen
at this point?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No? Yeah, and which is it is?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Still he could be circling that on the schedule.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
He's a true competitor. Oh no, And I hope he is.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
And that sucks because you watch the Quarterback Netflix documentary
and he literally said, I don't want to ever win
come I don't want to win Player of the You anymore,
which he's gonna win.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Come back Player of the Year. This happen again, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But to even talk a little bit about that, like
whin the are we just gonna h go buy some
alignment for him.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I saw a pretty funny tweet today saying like there's
one point eight million OBESTE people in the United States
and the Bengals can't find five of them to block
for Joper, And I'm like, and they had like it,
but they had like there's data behind it.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Of course it's no.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I've initially went to, like, are we gonna go back
to seeing like the Eagles back during like we're detecting
our greatest asset?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
No, No, No, the guy who's.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Throwing the ball for you is the guys gonna do that?
So yeah, what are we up to in this room?
The twelve fifteen guys that are sitting in that room
going it happened again? It feels like on hot day form.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I've interviewed probably out of one position group in my life,
Bengals O linemen the most, and they're all great dudes,
and they're all good. I think they can't stay healthy either. No,
they're they're like they're not like a there's not they are.
I've never seen them be like a starting five unit
that makes it, you know, a fourteen game stretch.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And that's and that's always tough, Like, yeah, there's if
there's one position that that can't really afford to lose continuity,
where we just move is it's one of it's that position.
Let's move on.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Giants Cowboys, Giants Cowboys. Absolute shootout, Let's shoot out. Let's uh.
My question to you on this one, Brandon aubrey sixty
four yard game winner probably could have made it much further.
At what point is it silly to run him out
there field goal try? I think he's going to touch eighty.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I don't think it's silly. I think he's gonna hit
a eighty yard. It always comes down a relationship with
player and coach. Yeah, they're building a lot of trust.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He's out there and knocks down a long range field goal,
like it's like in the video game, like trust boosts
by fifteen percent. Like he's gaining that trust where coach
is looking at like seventy you got that? And if
I look my kicker in the eye and I say
you got seventy and he's like yep, yeah, taking the chance.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I could see like a Denver Sunday Night football him
being like can.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Go altitudes and like alt dude, timing. What type of
game are we in? Like, yeah, maybe it's like we'd
love to get this seventy yard field goal right now
before that, maybe he'd like, let's run it out there,
give me a shot. I'm it's also in your coach's head,
like that's a pocket of three points if you know
he's dialed from you know, Pat range all the way
(12:12):
to the fifty yard line, Like that's a pocket three points.
So I know that I got and I'm building like
AOD report.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
I don't even think it becomes silly. I'd love to
see an eighty yard field goal though.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I think it's gonna happen. I would be, it's gonna
be circumstantial. It's gonna be circum How many fantasy points
would that be? That's got to be at least ten alone?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Doesn't it go like I'm not all tuned in on
isn't like from a certain yard it's just like one, two, three, like.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's got to get but that it has to hit like
a threshold where it's like this is.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Statemid wild fantasy sit where if your quarterback gets a tackle,
he gets auto houndo if he goes out there for
anything past seventy. He should be getting like auto twenty
five points. Yeah, I think that that would be a
fair you're setting yourself up to where like that kicker
becomes the commodity. Sure, like all of a sudden, some
dufist is drafted a kicker like second round because he's hitting.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Hey, we're talking about fantasy teams right now. Look at
the Falcons. They signed their got rid of Coup, brought
this guy in. He's smacking field goals like it's nobody's business.
Probably won the job getting player of the game, getting
Player of the game with two players. He doesn't know
who these guys are, but he's like, oh, I know Bijeon,
(13:20):
like I see him on TV.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
And there's this other giant black dude.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It was like d Alfirst and the interview ladies like
this is d and he's like, oh.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Nice to meet shoot kids at the post game Sunday
Light Football post conference somehow.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
My point is kicker stalks high.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
But we just went on a rant last week talking
about kickers and operations in the Socialist and I think
it's like one of those things that just turns over
every week. Yeah, we saw some great kicks. We saw
some great special teams play.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yes, in a.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
College world, I saw some phenomenal effort plays from the
specialists himselves.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So and really I watched them.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Kicks were operational penalty back back to kid up five yards,
back to kicker at five yards, and it blows up
their entire mindset for that kick. Like I think a
guy like Brandon Aubrey who just lines up and knows like,
I got it in my bag for till sixty, so
I give up five personal fouls or fire before you
knock me back to there. It's very interesting to watch
and I'm fired up. I love when the game's firing
(14:14):
on all points.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
What I want. I want the action.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I don't want to watch no good ball. I'm gonna
watch ball, and I will fight through a tough game.
But like when it's firing and the offenses are looking
good and everything kind of.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
It's action, pick sixes, big returns, all that to it
and then it's I think that's what fires me up
about it being back.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
If it fires me up. And you mentioned special teams,
let's get into the Colts. Okay, Colts Broncos. First of all,
close game. Do you think the Broncos are going over.
Maybe they extended the field goal block meeting today. I
bet you they extended that meeting five extra minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, it's all on Excel sheets and they block it out.
That Excel thing went one.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
More, one more, call them up. It was a five
minute period.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It was.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It was a five minute period, and now it's bold
all Caps and it's a ten minute period.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Best Boe. I'm like Ted's coach Kane right now, and.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Most likely we went back to basics. Yeah, they went
to like day one install put it up on the board. Fellas, Yeah,
this is our alignment.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Maybe like a referee colleague zooms in of the team meeting. Guys,
you gotta make sure we're gonna call this. Yes, don't
the dudes and dunts a field goal block?
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Facts.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now that being said, at what point are the Colts
considered legit? And before you say they are right now,
I just want to remind you one thing. Last year
the New Orleans Saints, Yes, started off a hot to
and O and they proceeded to have a noseedive.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
But at what point are the Colts legit?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I think that as an organization they've been they've been
a real good organization. I agree, fifteen twenty years right,
even longer. I think they're even one of the longest
standing organizations in the NFL. They have a culture of winning,
They know what it takes. I think that what they
did with the quarterback situation, they they really truly did evaluate, right.
I think we had some talk about what the what
(16:01):
the standard was for Daniel Jones coming in Anthony Richards,
trying to meet that, exceed that what that looked like.
But I also think we overlooked the fact like they
probably brought in Dania Jones because they.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Thought he was their guy. I think that's the fact too.
What's up.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
We told you we had our guy. We like how
he's looking. He manages their offense. We want to manage
our offense. We still have Jonathan Taylor. Let's not forget
about that. You have a pretty good defense too.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Their defense is historically been a good defense. Tough building
to play in.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Fans are rabbit winnable division, winnable division, Like, there's some
stars that are starting to align for for them. But
you're one hundred percent right, Like, as much as we
liked the good, we're so early that, like I.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Need to see what the Colt what Dane Jones and
the Colts look like like Week.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Seven, next few games they go Titans, Rams, Raiders, Cardinals, Chargers, Titans.
Then they hit the Steelers, Falcons, Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Tans, Titans have been playing good ball.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I think they could split. They'll probably split that series.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Or too and two there. Yeah, I think the Cardinals
are winnable. I think that the Rams.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
The Rams will be a good test. That'll be that'll
be a Week four matchup.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I think that'll assuming we look at going like, okay, yeah,
can they compete? No? If they they this last weekend
and they were good, Matthew Stafford and Davante An I'm
just still trying to figure themselves out.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
But they're winning in the process, and so I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's also a little scary. We can get into talking
about that because one, we know what Davante is. I
know he likes the ball and he makes it very
evident in media. And then the way that he he
talks about his game is like I want the pill.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
He's an alpha who needs the ball.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Correct and you want that in your room. And you
got Pooko over here, who's just you can have when
your team gets cut in the eyes, is gets put
in concussion particle.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Put it out and put it out. Give me an
eyepatch that thing up.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I'll play one hand, one eye.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I don't care handmaid's till.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You're trying to figure out where he's going to handle that.
Their run games, their run game or whatever. But I
was watching the game and he taught getting Devonte Adams
like four times in the red zone, like four back
to back plays. Two of them were catchable passes, two
of them weren't. And I'm like trying to understand as
like is this a good thing? Are we Is DeVante
getting frustrated that, yes he's getting the ball thrown to him,
(18:14):
but now they're not all the best passes he's been
getting thrown or is he like fired up that, like
my guy's trying.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
To give me the ball.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I think they'd get better and get open or have
more easier, more contested pills that I can go get.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I think from a wide out standpoint, and we've been
over this in the past, like you need the opportunity,
right if you are like a guy like aj Brown,
Right now, he's upset, he's frustrated, right, he's internally can't
publicize that because they're winning, they're on a hot streak
and realistically that this is up. But there's such a
(18:46):
good running team on the Eagles right now to where
they just could throw out Davante Smith and AJ Brown
and be like, hey, I know you want to you
want you got to stop the run, but maybe give
us some pressure.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
We're going to dice you up. No, we're going to
dice you up. So Davante him.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
So I'm getting used to having the chase peak.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Exactly Davante though, I think the fact that instead of
getting I don't know what that four play sequence ended in,
but like he much rather have four unconnected passes and
have zero catches than have zero targets and zero catches.
And that's like not even a debate. Yeah, so they'll
get on pace with that. It is week two. They
(19:26):
didn't play a bunch of the preseason. Matt Stafford isn't
his fullest, isn't.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
His fullest there hooping, he's hoopy, he's doing his things,
doing his one eleventh right now. And I think that
they again, they were my sleeper, sneaky super Bowl pick.
Now that being said, I think Green Bay Packers might
run the table. The Green Bay Packers defense, it looks
so good.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Also, the all whites for the Green Bay Packers is
so sexy.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right when I saw it come on screen, I texted
you I was like, these have got me feeling nicey, Like, yeah,
I'm not a not a Packers fan by trade bris
Packers fan, but like those uniforms were.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I might buy if Evan Williams all white cher seed.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Just because, just because, come on, Moseby defensive edge flash
linebacker that used to be safe.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I'm gonna get a triple XL No, just cause, just because,
let's go get it. I wanted to throw it under
a hoodie, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Shirt?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Love that?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, I love that. But their defense, I know they
had a pretty solid defense before they even added superior
talent on the defensive end, right, but like now with
him in there, and granted I was watching that game,
I was watching from an offensive line stampoint. The Commanders
have got some things to sort out. Okay, there were
some pretty poor offensive line play in that game. Granted,
good defense. Lots of looks Micah Parsons breathing down my
(20:42):
neck on one side. I know for a fact, they
game plan to be like, how are we gonna get
extra touches on him? Because this one on one matchup
is gonna be tough.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
But they look good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Jordan Love is piecing people together, moving that offense down
the field.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Jordan Boom sticking there, I ain't gonna get the defense
fired up.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Come on, boys, there, they are.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Putting together something that looks nice, and I know that
they're Coach Matt Lafloor, right, Yeah, the.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Dude seems like a gamer. He seems like always has
he always has been.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But every time I see him, he kind of just
gives me that look of that dude that like like
I watch more film than you. Yeah, Like I'm psychlic
home and worry about what I'm gonna run on two
point play and it's my nineteenth best option at my
two point play, but I'm so dialed that, like I'm
thinking ten pages ahead of you.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
I think there's certain coaches in the league who have
come so close to winning Super Bowls.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
There's actually a lot of teams right now.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
In that conversation, you know, there's a lot of teams
the bills that they know, they know they should.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
They have the pieces and the Packers.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
By the way the Packers have they know they can't
They always get they can't get over the hump.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Can't get past the divisional, can't get can't get to
the to the next thing they need to win.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Uh, the Ravens are even in that conversation right now.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I feel for the Ravens in that conversation. Yeah, because
like if there's a team that deserves to there's super
team dance like it's then like I want, I can't
wait for the day that I get to see Lamar
Jackson play in a Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I think the Lions fall in that category two and
last year, they know they beat the Commanders. I don't
know what's gonna happen the rest of the year, but
they I don't want to say they were looking ahead,
but they were expected to win that game and they didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
And I think it's just like, guys, we need to
beat perfect.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Like whoever wins the Super Bowl this year, they're gonna
have to have a healthy team because there's so much talent.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
That's always I think that's number one.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Look at the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Their stocks just went down drastically, and it's not because
they're not a good team. Otherwise it's because everyone else is.
There's good ball right now. There's good ball.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
The same thing we noted last week, Like there's tons
of good quarterback play. Yeah, and I think quarterback and
not that your quarterbacks the end all be all where
they're gonna be a good football team. I think it's
got a.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Good offense, wins games, defense wins championships. That will always
be true.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
It's leadership and all that. But like, there is just
good talent across the board of every team right now,
and I think it's it puts you in a good
position to.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Be watching good football. I want to talk about Eagles Chiefs, like,
sure we got a great Super Bowl rematch.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Look at a Super Bowl rematch. I think it was
a really telltale sign that the Kansas City Chiefs and
need talent to throw.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
The ball to. I think there's a lot going on there.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
And like I said, I through my brother's experience, I
got to learn about the insides of it. I think
it's a little bit of a culture thing too. Yeah,
it's a little culture thing. Hey, you guys have been
on top for a while. A lot of distractions. Not
gonna throw trade at Travis Kelcey right now, they got
a lot of good tight ends in that room. Hey man,
I'm a podcast baryon Taylor Swift opening restaurants. Like I know,
(23:37):
there's dudes that are Robert Tanian, who is a top
five tight end in the league. No great Jared Willy's.
There are two tight end type offense. You keep trying
to feed this due the pill. He's making the plays
he should, but he's also making missing a lot of
plays that in a game like that, the margin fair
is one play, two play three play game. You can't
have that. And I think there's a little bit And
(23:59):
I said this, people say, oh, preseason doesn't matter. They
lost the Super Bowl, they lost all three preseason games.
They're now oh and tow the creep of doubt in
their head. Nope, you lost the super Bowl, you lost
all three preseason games, and you you're oh, and to you,
doubt has creeped in and now you're going, uh, and
(24:21):
by the way, you're playing the Giants next week on
Sunday Night football. Who had a dog fight against a
good Dallas Cowboys team who should have beat the Chiefs.
I mean, the excuse me, the Eagles and rust looks good.
Russ almost beat his all time passing record, his personal one.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And if you look at the way that the Seattles
are playing ball, like they're kind of looking like old yeah, like.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Giants, Giants, Sorry, apologies, yeah, but rust looks good. Rust
looks good. Good.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yes, And you know, I'm all we're talking about my
brains firing. But the Giants like they're playing like, yes,
they've been tough games here right, lostless last week, but
like they haven't been in those games in the last
six seven years. They haven't been good.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
In they got some juice in that fight, and they
got some and that was a divisional game.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Correct, That's a good sign for the divisions. That's, of
course the game of football that like I want, I'm
tired of seeing like a perennial.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Front runner in a division.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
No, I get you to watch every division game and
like I'm not like I won't watch every single game,
but like I want to sit down on a Sunday
and be like, oh these mean something, Like these ye
flying around it always means something. But like this division
game is heightened right now. You can feel that there's
pressure on winning this football game.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Chiefs got to go. They gotta play the Giants and
then they got the Ravens. Yeah, and I want to
say they got the Lions next.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Maybe brutal. It's a little gauntlet. Man.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
You're you're zero to five for the first time and
who knows how.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Long and now way down. Like guys who are injured
are like, do I want to come back for this year?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Losing that edge.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
The guys that are fighting, they get back on the
field because they're there. They want to be a part
of the winning.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm always good. I'm a ways on good. That's what
I'm saying. I've never been that type of guy.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But like I want to go back to that point
of you lose, you lose the Super Bowl. There's one
lose three in a row. There's four lose two more
four plus two six from a locker room standpoint, and
you can morales. Morale, they've they've had a really good morale.
But like your locker room, you've been in the locker
room many games in a row. There's not a lot
of things to look forward to. It's not a bright space. Yes,
(26:32):
you can say like guys are picking each other up,
but like dudes are just coming in when you're on
an H to six run like that. As much as
winning is contagious, losing is contagious. Yeah, and right now
they haven't had that taste, haven't had that little spark
come back in Like we're popping the bottles to night like, yeah,
they're having more of like I'll hang out my lady,
maybe a call boys tomorrow, drinkson. We need to get
(26:52):
back to the other side of the having a good time.
And it's gonna be interesting to see if, if, if
Andy Reid and team where.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
There can put their foot in the ground and change direction.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
My last thing NFL wise, CJ. Stroud's warm up. Okay,
with the basketball, I think it's kind of lame. Why
do you need to be dribbling in basketball pre game
if you're about to throw football.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
I'm not saying he's at the point now where he's
a good enough quarterback, but I want to know what
quarterback coach?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
What? Who put that in his ear? And why?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Because you do watch these Twitter videos TikTok and kids
look up to guys like c J. Stroud Like all
respect to him, but what what are we doing here?
What benefit is there?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I will tell you I think as you're a multi
sport guy. Of course, as a multi sport athlete, I
kind of like the fact that he's in a different
lane with working hand eye coordination. Take it, he's working
both He's working both sides of his brain. He's working
in his left hand, he's working his right hand. There's
a whole bunch of other little factors that are going
into that than just like purely like is he doing
(28:00):
this drill to play better out here?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I think you see a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Of those drills waited balls bands. Jamison't doing his little
hip dance four movement that's throwing the ball, But I
think bouncing the ball gets him into that float right,
Like you've been out in the backyard just chilling. When
you's a kid bouncing ball around having a good time,
all of a sudden, you just find yourself.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Dude, you feel like I feel like Kobe. Yeah, like
feeling good.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I can lean into the Maybe that's more, Maybe that's
got something so far to do with Like I just
needed to get into a mental rhythm of moving right
because I can go and take that and say, think
about how he feels. He makes two good throws, He's
back into that same rhythmic feeling that he had. He
was bouncing the basketball. Yeah, so I'm like, you may
not like it, but if either, but like, at the
(28:42):
end of the day, if he goes out there and
if he wants to dribble a basketball, if you go throw.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
A bullpen, catch a bullpen, play a game of pickleball,
I'm gonna shoot forty three throws.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
He goes out and puts up fifty points on fantasy
and wins the game. I don't care if he's out
there drinking a PEPSI like, maybe it's a cattlest.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Centers to drink.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Maybe we get him dial I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I don't really care, but I just wanted to play ball.
So college this week, man, dude, talk to me. But
you got SEC football looks different. Yeah, Like, first thing
that comes to my mind. I watched a lot of
SEC football.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
One of my games of the week that I sat
down and watched the entire game was Ole Miss Arkansas
that had that circled you know, Ole Miss is my
team that I'm looking for. Yeah, I thought that was
gonna be a really good game, and it turned out
to be a phenomenal game. But Tennessee Georgia, like we're
putting up forty to fifty points in an SEC football game.
Looking at you know, maybe maybe a twenty eight twenty
(29:37):
one game where at the gam at Georgia score some
points at the end of the game shootout, but like
it's really spread across the board, and really I was
driving over here thinking, I think that's assisted in the
NIL team. I think you've gotten to a point now
where you may have had a phenomenal chance, you know,
defensively recruiting and didn't get to spend as much time
(29:58):
on the offensive side of the ball. Now with money
and everything, like these SEC teams still get to play
dominant defense. And yeah, you score forty five points. I
don't know if that's a dominant defensive outing. No, but
they played so hard for the entire game. I'm still
I'm still looking on a defense like you put up
one hundred and forty five tackles. Yeahd of winning that game.
(30:18):
You were physical the entire game. We did what it
took to win, right. I still think that's a good
defensive performance, even then we gave up forty points.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
I think too that both defenses and offenses, offenses, you
could put pieces to the puzzle together where it's like,
you know, this guy runs a four to two and
as a forty inch for rol line averages three thirty
and they're all Americans, like we're gonna be a good
offense defense. There is a little bit of unity where
(30:49):
it's like, hey, if everyone's doing their job, and maybe
like I'm an edge rusher and I'm supposed to have
contained right here, but I got cut inside. I'm gonna
take this path and my outside backer could make me right.
That comes with years and reps of playing together, getting
to know what's this guy's butt doing, what's going on
over here, like blah blah blah blah. We we had
teams where it's the same guys who all got to
(31:10):
come back for the next season on the defensive side
of the ball, and you're like people people in the
stands are like, oh, great player, Like yo, that play
was that was not the scheme. That was not the scheme.
But he made him right. He made him right, and
they did this and they have it. And I think
as the year goes on, we will see those overs
go less and less successful, which sucks because I'm an
over better.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Yeah, but I do agree with you very.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Much on that, and it's not necessarily all the way
across the port. Maybe some of these offenses are just
firing on all cylinders.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
And I think watching the game, it is like that, Yeah,
yes we're getting some good defense, but it is firing
on all cylinders of ball. And I like seeing that
early early on in college ball. I like seeing that
because that means that there's a confident quarterback, there's a
confident skill guys around their O lines, confident coaches able
to open up that playbook a little bit more. Right,
let's throw some more wrinkles in earlier rather than later.
