Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lie du bean Lie d bean Line, bean Line, be
light the Beam.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Indeed, welcome into another one of these programs, a Thursday
night edition of The Sports Cave with Biggest Puma once again.
I am your host, Sam Fruez, fresh off of a
fresh off of Ticket seven sixty duties. I did the
last hour with Uncle Andy out there. If you miss that,
go check out his podcast. But while you're here, listen

(00:36):
to ires because we are broadcasting live here on the
north side of San Antonio.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
We're doing it live live.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
That was almost in perfect units, almost the synergy between
you two. Sometimes it's sometimes I honestly forget y'all actually
grew up together. There might be might be a reason
your brains are aligned. Nope, fellas, we are officially less
than a week away from real regular season Spurs basketball

(01:04):
six days, six days till Spurs opening Night to be exact,
next Wednesday up in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
You got it as a win? Yes, yes, come on, man.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yes, actually, actually I might Actually I might say no
because we are we are going to do our first
Spurs Notes segment tonight, which we'll be adding to every
episode henceforth throughout the season. We did get some injury,
some substantial injury news regarding the Spurs someone else. We

(01:40):
know the Aaron Fox is going to be out for
the season opener. Now we know another potential starter is
going to be out for the season opener, so we'll
get into that during Spurs notes. Of course, it's Thursdays,
so we've got our weekend football preview and picks to
get to. We got cow notes and then our rest
of the NFL in the main segie, as well as

(02:02):
a little college football talk there at the end of
the main and lightning round to close it out. But
as always, we start with this is the most generic
throwaway National Day we potentially had, Yet we've had really
stupid ones, you know, like exactly like some of those,

(02:25):
Some of those, I mean I was flipping through because
I was showing Andy. Also, I'm filling in for Andy
tomorrow with him out of the room hosting of.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Course, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Early well, I've I realized I've got to do better,
because after two and a half hours of us ranting,
I do all the plugs at the end, and I
don't think anyone. No one's catching that.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Uh yeah, No.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
We had a National Restless Legs Awareness Day back in
September That also happened to coincide with National Celebrate Bisexuality Day.
We had National Cheeseburger Day back in We've had some
ridiculous ones. This one is just generic in the most
generic way possible.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Ad It's actually related.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's actually related. It is job related because it is
related to what we're trying to do right now in
this room. National Broadcasting Day no even more generic than
National Salesman Day. No, what are we talking about on
National Sports Day? National Sports Day? How generic is that?

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Why wouldn't they do that like on the opening day
when we have hockey, basketball, baseball, and football. Well, I
think that Sports Day.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I think that's why we're getting National Sports Day in
the middle of October because it is all of those
sports taking place simultaneously. Now it's also National Department Store Day.
But I asked myself, yeah, remember those, ask myself, how

(04:03):
much longer are we going to be celebrating that one?
Because do you ever know how to take off the
little of course? Yeah, of course magnet. I Also I
also knew I always did, you always have the fear
that they were gonna explode, like okay, So I thought
that was just a wise tell.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Correct all over so to speak Tommy Hill figure how
to had to tuck it in.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah about that's when you get the long one so
you can talk. No one will know that you ripped
it from Macy's.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Uh So.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
The voice you hear, of course, across the table from
me is cap But the voice you have yet to hear,
albeit you've heard the drops, is the greatness that is LG.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
LG.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Tell the good people how they can help support the program.
Couldn't decide to say show or program.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
The program by hitting that subscribe button.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
There against the grain, always going against the grain with me.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, I got to keep you on your toes.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, subscribe, spooky subscribe. I don't have my super chat.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
We've got super chats active and we have active membership.
Shout out to the two members that are in there. Yeah,
I believe that's Greg and the one and only. What's up, dudes.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, speaking of speaking of Greg, shout out Greg for
the super chat on Tuesday night. I don't think I
mentioned it. He's talking about driving. We keep him company
while he's apparently driving back and forth between here and
San Angelo. Not a fun drive if you've ever done it.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's a long one.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah. Not uh. And it's you know, Texas by far
the prettiest state we have in our union, but that's
one of the rough we have. Every single ecosystem here,
depending on what you want to find. There's no state that's.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Got you got Cali's like the road that you go
against the whole coastline, so you got mounds greenery. Do
they have East top of the fires and rocks?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Do they have East Texas swamps? Do they have Caddo Lake?
They don't have anything like that.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
The La Rivers kind of fair.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Fair you just you just I can hear my grandpa there.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
I tell you Imperial Beach is a little swampy sometimes.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, you're throwing red meat to the base, poking fun
at California streets. Uh. No, I Texas is the best,
there's no question. But that drive is not a fun one.
From me.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I will tell you the best drive.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Junction Maynard all Coleman.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
East side of the Colorado of the Rocky Mountains in
Colorado while snowing. Scary af because it's a two lane road,
no guardrail, but you look out and you just see
like an ice river with nothing but snow capped mountains.
And snow on the ground and it it's beautiful, man.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
But that's one scenery. That's all you get there.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Mountains and snow and greenery. In the summer, we have mountains.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Davis Mountains are awesome in the winter.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
I think you just you need to get out more. Man.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That is probably true. But when I get the choice,
imagine the northern lights in Alaska while you're driving. You know, well,
how in the hell am I going to get to Alaska?
I mean there, then we're talking about driving, aren't we. Okay,
this might be a really dumb question, but you can.
You can't drive. You know, if there was like unpassable

(07:34):
mountains in far west, like northwestern Canada, then you can't included.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Like, oh why you have to take a ship?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Everyone up there has little prop planes that they fly
from there. And I'm here, look, I'm the Dare Certificate
graduate here. I'm just saying, when you grow up in
a small town, it's a lot easier to get top
ten PC in your class. Oh buddy, there's less than
a hundred of you. Oh buddy, well, we do got

(08:04):
a lot to get to. I know, it's a Thursday episode,
so a lot of previewing to get to but as
always we start postviewing, we start with what I watched
last night, what we watched last night, and I think
top of the list, I had a quad box going
that was the baseball playoff game Toronto ends up winning

(08:28):
big in Seattle. Yeah, yeah, thirteen to four. I had
a quad box of that game going. Preseason basketball, and
then two random college football games were on your your
boys that you were defending Tuesday night, UTEP they got
the Win Cup, Sam Houston State winless last night.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Was keeping an eye.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
On that, but yeah, mentioning the baseball, finally bats come alive.
Blue Jays hit five home runs. I love it when
this is a stat that means absolutely nothing, but it's
a nice round number. Five home runs totaling all the
distances combined two thousand feet two thousand and four feet.

(09:09):
To be example, or to be.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Come down with that, Chase, Actually I Jamar Chase. Look
at this. He like bobbles it eighteen times, like.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, they're not gonna give it, come on that. Uh see,
this is why I hate fantasy because I was not
distracted by this game. And now you mentioned Jamar Chase
needs to catch that touchdown.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Do your job, bitch.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I actually exactly see, That's what I'm saying. Uh yeah, no,
they they got their money's worth in the homers end
up hitting two thousand feet worth of homers. Vlad Guerrero
triple short of the cycle after being zero for seven
in the first two games.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
They were already up so big, you got to go
for that triple.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Man, if you watched the replay the way he circled
first base, yeah he was trying due.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
He just got a cycle in the Alds. Come on, man,
oh no, al.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I think, yeah, we're in Alca.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's a that's an illness.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I think we've only I think I heard him say
there's only ever been one player that's hit for the
cycle in the in the postseason, which was kind of
I'm surprised you.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Go one Like no one would no one would have
like faulton for getting thrown out at third, especially.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Like you said, with the you know, with the with
the game already in hand. Although you don't want to
necessarily make it a habit of thinking like that, because.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
What thinking like Pete Rose the greatest hitter of all time, well.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
I mean more of the Charlie hustle risking. Charlie probably
would have done it. Probably would have done it.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
So I don't know who I'm going against in fantasy
this week. But you just got a tuddy on you.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, I can't remember. I think it was brock Holt
was the name that comes to mind. Uh, the only
player that's hit a cycle in the postseason?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Did it show what team he played for?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I think it was when he I think it was
when he was with the Red Sox.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I believe so gross. I know, I've never heard. I
don't even remember that name.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I think I think that. Yeah, brock Hole. It was
brock Hole. The only it was Game three of the
twenty eighteen al Ds against your Yankees. Yeah, so apparently.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, I don't remember any of that, dude, that didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, it's selective memory there.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
We blew our collective load on the game the series before.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think brock Holt was also a Texas kid. Yeah, born,
born and raised up in Fort Worth. Yeah, it's obviously
now sitting here with both we got football on the TV,
but both the baseball games going down tonight, Game four
in that Toronto Seattle game, Game three in the Dodgers

(11:57):
Brewers Dodgers Brewers. Now final, that series is over. Poor
brew crew had the best regular season of any team
in baseball and they are down three to zero against
the machine that is the Dodgers.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I heard.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I heard this stat as well earlier today. The Dodgers
have last year they didn't make the postseason was like
twenty twelve or twenty thirteen, something like that.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Oh yeah, they've like won, They've won the division. Oh like,
they've only got the last thirteen years, They've only not
made the postseason one time.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah. See, and the fact that they've won the division,
I think all those times as well, the fact that
they only have two World Series to take away.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
This is La is just a it's it's a baseball town,
you know. And I think it's because of the beautiful
weather out there. Yes, you know, so people go like
during the dog days of summer, it's like, oh, let's
go to Rangers Stadium and sit in the sun. Or
like when I went to Saint Louis for the Saint
Louises matchup like three years ago, it was the hottest

(13:03):
day and it was like in August. And I'm asking
my buddy, who was a Saint Louis, Like he's from
Saint Louis, So I'm like, which ways does his sun
rise and set? Like, what's the stadium out? I should
just looked at a map because he totally picked the
wrong side. Oh now we're just getting baked in the sun.
And that was the one where I'm screaming at Judge
and I'm looking like a like a Haggard, I'm yelling

(13:26):
at the little kids.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Had I had a buddy who was at Texas OU
this past week man, and he specifically bought his ticket
to try to be on the shade side of the stadium. Yeah,
he got it backwards exactly. Yeah, he was thinking sun
rising in the west and oh my god. Yeah, so

(13:49):
they were fully open public education. Again, you know that's correct.
Yeah again, Uh, we we have produced. We do currently
have an NFL head coach and a member of the cabinet,
so so there are exceptions to to the rest of us.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
So that's what you watched, now, I know we talked
about this before the show. What I've been watching is
everybody using up all this Internet space to play with
these videos that look like real videos that aren't the
aai GP title thing and you don't know if the
real or not, but.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
The creativity a plus the.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Racism and anti semiticism and the homophobia and all that
stuff that goes again with it. Come on, man, you're
killing my algorithm.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well, the fact that some you know, like the.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
But you're just like, oh man, that's so bad.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
The amount of power that could, uh, you know, keep
a two a size Texas city on the grid for
a week. The fact that it's being used for I'm
kind of throwaway racist stereotype video so bad. It's a bit,
it's it's the racism is frustrating. But then the actual
like we used we used power. This, this took This

(15:11):
took energy, but not just the ingenuity of the imagination.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
It took actual energy. And you know, we got a drill, baby,
drill and get that coal. I will see.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
A buddy of mine has been posting some of these
Sora videos and it's him Skate that's that one doing
all that like that. He's pretty good. Yeah yeah, well,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
That's the one where everybody can use. That just came out.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, it's what is it's open AI is the parent company.
But my buddy has been posting videos and stop him skateboarding,
and the first one I watched, I thought, oh good,
he's uh, he's back on the board. He's skating again.
And then I saw it do a trick that was
like X Games levels.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Like way like a big flip.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
It got me for like five seconds.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like a three sixty six with no stall, like.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Nah, yeah, looking like Nija Houston at X Games. And
that was when I was like, all.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Right, hold on. It was like me like going on
a skateboard and pull on the trick. Man trying to
teach my kid to skateboard for the first time. And
like the last board I was on before that was
just like a long board out in like Cali, and
I was probably in my late twenties, but I was
in my early thirties, so I could thought, I like,
we got him a skateboard. And I was like, all right,

(16:31):
so this is just how you you know, just basically
push off of your foot and skate and you can
lean right and left. That's how you turn that close
to bust some my ass that close. It was just
like I was like, yeah, I think this old body
just can't do no more skateboarding. But speaking of my kid,
this is the story that I did not tell you

(16:52):
about the wife comes and is walking out to go
burn a heater. Oh, she gonna kill me for that one.
Luckily she doesn't listen to this show.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
That's what she tells me.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, and she overhears him talking to someone on the
game and he's like, oh, blah blah blah, and then
she catches the end of the conversation. Oh, I didn't
know you were that serious about her. I didn't know
you had that much feelings about here. I didn't mean
to make fun of you or anything like that or

(17:26):
just go off on you. And I was like, all right,
that's very cool, consider it. And then it's you know,
that's that's that's cool that you like your AI that much.
Wait what an AI girlfriend? Bro, Dude, I'm losing my crap. Dude,

(17:48):
I'm losing it. I'm losing it. Man. Like he literally
had to apologize or making fun of somebody who had
an AI girlfriend and simple thighs with him and be like,
you need to take more and he was given relationship advice.
You a freaking AI. Oh my god. Look if I

(18:09):
heard that, I would have gone I would have grabbed
his mic and been like you little in so you
get out.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's exactly he's got to do something. Man, go to
a go to a live show, like I was like,
you eighteen, we going to an eighteen and up strip club.
You're gonna become a man tonight that some of those
you go down to van Ormy that will turn you
into an Inso you walk into some of those b
yo b places down there, holes.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
And stretch marks.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Dude, we did We did a radio remote for Kiss
where it was me and Derek in one of those
places and it was literally he told me, dude, it
was like, as soon as we hit the two hour mark,
I'm we're out of here. Because normally sometimes you know,
we would yeah, yeah, sticks around for a celebrity. It's yeah,

(18:56):
you take advantage of it. Not so much, not so much. Yeah, No,
I look, I I would never. I would never try.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
To roast anybody. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Never try to assume I could tell someone else how
to be a parent based on the fact that I
have no kids myself. But hearing that it makes me
a little man, makes me a little feel a little
better about my decisions.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
It's making me nervous, man, I can see I can
see why. Oh but that was my Like, I like
when I she she told me that, and I was like,
what did you do? She's like, I couldn't do anything.
I just walked. I just walked outside. I don't know what.
I couldn't like, I literally stopped. She's like I stopped
in my tracks and just process the information of what

(19:48):
she just heard.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I guess the only the only silver lining here is
it's not him that has the AI girlfriend. So there
you've got that at least I had had.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
No, he has a long distance girlfriend, which I had
to like track down at an airbnb.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Have you seen do you know that she's actually real?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
No? She's real?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Okay, no, because I like literally had to like he
flew out long distance girlfriend might just be the new
AI girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Oh don't you start with me, man, just start with me.
But no, I've seen her in Like there's been many
a time where like walked in and be like, yo,
do you see this? And then it's like his girlfriend's
in there just like watching me. I'm like, can you
turn the screen?

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yeah, Like come on, give a like I'm.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Like getting my boxers and stuff like, but nah, he
flew out there, And of course overbearing mom is sitting there.
He's not answering his phone. He said he was supposed
to be here and it's pinging somewhere like an hour
and a half away where he's supposed to be. And
I'm like, he's nineteen years old, like or he's eighteen
years old. Let him do what he's with his girlfriend.

(20:54):
It probably went somewhere and spend the night in airbnb.
And she's like, you don't know this, bubbab two hours
Like I'm like dog the bounty hunter. I figured out,
I called, talked to all his friends, figured out the
discord thing. Did not look at the photos because I
was like, I asked his friend. I was like, there's
photos on here.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Shut He's like, yeah, don't look at the I would
suggest not and it was just like talk to the
airbnb owner.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
He couldn't give me the number, but he went over
and knocked on the door. Embarrassed the crap out of him,
which is good, you know. And then I was like,
this is all your mother's doing.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, please don't hold this out.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I was like, I just like, she woke me up
at eight o'clock. I need to go back to sleep.
I worked till four last night, like call her.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
You mentioned your mother, you mentioned Discord. It's funny to me.
My uncle who's like ten fifteen years older than me,
he is really active on Discord because he got in
with a bunch of other nerds that are playing GTA
online like the most efficiently wait or most efficient way possible.

(22:00):
So they've got the discord where they talk set everything up,
and then it's like.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Call of duty. You set your controller settings like this,
amy you don't get so much of a kickback exactly.
And that's when I stopped playing the game. Yeah, it's
not fun anymore. It's when YouTube took like I think
I was playing as me and l G said the
best one was Mordern Warfare two, you know where you
got the new tube and then you had to get

(22:27):
to run around and stab people with your like extended stab. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
The battlefield apparently is uh.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Breaking all the records.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, well, good luck to them and all of their
battles and have fun.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
We will.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'll continue to.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
We're teaching our kids military strategies while they're having relationships
with AI.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Well, that's nothing new that I mean, we've taught our
kids how to play chess for years.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Those are that's military. You missed the last part. Yeah,
we're doomed. There's there's some is doomed.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
There's there's some potential fatal failure in our future if
that maintains.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
But uh, back to sports.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I'm already thirty nine, so I'm not worried.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
About Actually these video games. This is the largest sport event, Like,
what was it the EA Legal legends more people tuned
in to watch that than the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
That doesn't surprise me.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's also why the argument that video games are to
blame for our social violence. I there's a lot of
people I know that grew up playing Madden that still
can't read a defense there Still can't, you know, like
still don't know the difference between cover two or three.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Still still throw it on the swing pass on the
cover tube look every time? Like no, every single time?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, mentioning since it is National Sports Day. Back to sports.
Something else I have been watching? Uh, The Dallas Stars
are on a quest for the first eighty two and
oh season in NHL history. They are on pace to
go under. They might end up just going ninety six
and oh or ninety eight. No, just win every game again,

(24:13):
crap for.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
One saying that Spurs is gonna win over forty five games.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
No, because it's hockey, and I mean hockey. Hockey is fun,
but we laugh at hockey as well.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
I almost took a video of one of my favorite
bartenders out there. Shout out to Sierra. She is almost
a bigger hockey fan than you, sir.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
She was watching the Dallas Stars.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
A lot of hockey fans in the city like out
like when we left on Tuesday, and I go over
there to go do the editing and whatnot, and she
is jumping around and she used to be a cheerleader
and whatnot, and.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
She was all in on the hockey.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I might need to meet this bartender for show research purposes,
just to just to talk to some hockey. Maybe we
can have a new hockey courspond. Well, the game Tuesday
she was watching, Stars ended up holding on to win
that one, almost blue. That's kind of been their m.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
O so far. Who got lit up in the third?

Speaker 2 (25:09):
That was Matt Duchhane, who is still out injured. He's
gonna be back soon, but he's out tonight.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
It was a pretty big Lewis crackback block right there,
especially for the third game of the season. That's like, again,
that's what you get when you open up your year
playing uh, Colorado, Winnipeg who they knocked out of the
playoffs last year. Colorado or yeah, Colorado who they knocked

(25:38):
out of the playoffs last year, Minnesota, the Wild who
put that hit on Dushane. Yeah, the city that you
stole the team from. I mean, those are three teams
that hate you. Boom boom boom right off the bat.
But the Stars all jokes aside, They did win all
three of those in varying fashions. One of the Colorado
game was a shootout where Miko ranton In scores the

(26:02):
game winning goal in the shootout while the Colorado fans
are booing in because it was up at the ball
Ball Center, one of the funniest named arenas we have
in America.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
That didn't Gaylord, that's a pretty good one too.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yeah, three and zero. But tonight, playing the hated Vancouver Canucks,
Stars jumped out to a two to zero lead, but
they've given it all back now. It was two to
nothing after the first period, it's now three to two.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I was hoping it was gonna be in Vancouver, so
I can watch it after this.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
No, now we don't get late night hockey tonight. It
is late night hockey. It is up in Dallas. But
something else we got from that game Tuesday night while
we were doing the show this, I get the bit
and I get I get okay, ha, it's funny. But
the logistics of this fan at the game Tuesday night.

(26:58):
If I had to sit any were near this guy,
I would be furious the whole night.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Did you see this? Are you talking on the hockey gear.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Full not just hockey gearie gear full, goalie gear l G.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Do you have this? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Look at this idiot, I mean fan. Yeah, that's my ideas.
That's a fan.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Ima.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Imagine three beers and you're trying to get down the
stairs behind him, and he's got to go stare for
stare and then this poor girl that he sits next to,
you can.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Test got to be his wife. She's not surprised.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I don't know. She didn't.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
You didn't get him wedging himself in.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
No, I couldn't. I couldn't send the seat. Yeah, wiggling,
wiggling to get into place. I saw, you know. The
roommate's first response was, oh, he can wear that, but
the Alamodome makes me have a sea through bag that
is can't be any bigger than in this.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
There's a lot of guns in that thing exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Like how does he just walked it up to security dressed?

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Like I wonder if you had to take it all off,
I would.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Assume so, which again major, Like, that's ridiculous if you're
trying to get into the game behind that guy while
he's yeah, having he did pick an aisle seat. He
did get an aisle seat.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
But I shout out to the full full goalie gear. Yeah,
full Klinker.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
There's a there's a time and a place, and I
suppose the the home opener, like it was Tuesday night
up there.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Oh you know he was sitting on that for like months.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna wear the full gear. Of course.
I play. I played thirty and over hockey league.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, I play. I played rec league hockey up the
In a lot of those leagues though, like pick up
hockey leagues, they don't even have goalies because no one's good.
Everyone's just trying to skate and be able to control
the puck, and most of the time no one wants
to be the goal You got the.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
One guy who can skate backwards and nobody else can.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
That's a game changer. That's a bit of a game changer.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's the wild card.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
We used to play a lot of broom ball at
the UH at the malls up there in df W.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Street ball was a thing in my cul de sac.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
See broom ball, they would you'd have you weren't on semon,
You're just on shoes. But there's like twenty people on
both sides just trying to hit the ball with.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
The Oh we did the road. We were blading blade
and see we we blades.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
When obviously when the Mighty Ducks movies blew up, that's
about my went my same. We went through a serious phase.
But then, like most things, we started getting too violent
with it, and it was a point of like, all right,
we gotta we gotta save our bodies for actual sports
that we play for.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
You're out there in like shorts in the tank top
because it's so hot and you're getting chip just checking
another person. Get getting there, dude.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I saw one of my buddies go flying through a
shrubbery because he got checked, like just shoved into it.
And it's one of these you know, it was a
one of our nicer friends houses. So it's this well
manicured bush and then it's for the next six months. Yes,
there's just this imprint from where our buddy went right

(30:19):
through the side of it. His mom was just not
happy about that. No, the mom. The mom could care
less about all the strawberrias and road rash.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Grows.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, exactly. But yeah, it's stars hopefully. Oh man. As
we've been talking Vancouver, Vancouver has now scored four goals
in the second period. It is now a four to
two game. The dreams of an undefeated season maybe coming
to an end. But we'll keep an eye on that.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Maybe get excited like you did during the the playoffs,
bang the table like you tell me not to.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Oh, that's right, that's right, man. I forgot that. Yeah,
I forgot when we started this.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
That was you came back from a year I don't
know if it was O three, but you scored three
goals in the That's right, man, I forget. I forget.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's been it stretches back that far.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, I mean we talked remember everything. It's useless.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, well, as as most things are. Unfortunately, you want
to get into our inaugural edition of Spurs Notes.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
As I just remembered, I never sent LG the times
that I am now tracking for our different segments.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
You need like a little theme music like go Spurs Go.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
So I'm working on I'm working on some elements for
since we are going to have recurring segments here. Now
we teased it at the top. We did get some
it's not long term injury news, but it Jeremy Sohan
will miss the season opener. That's that's not a gamekill,

(32:00):
sprained left wrist. He's already was dealing with the strained
calf that kept him out of EuroBasket.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Because he does it from the right hand. He's a righty.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, either way, he is. He will not be available.
But you mentioned Deer and Fox. They are saying so
Hand in Fox are only they're expected to return by
Game three at the latest. So they're both It's not
long term, but it's going to be basically seven to
ten days. Oh no for the Yeah, Kyrie's out till January.

(32:39):
The MAVs have been running Cooper flag at point. They've
been doing what the Spurs did with so Hand.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, they're all like tanking I think Jason Kidd put
the Knicks on that one. I think he just said,
like they asked him today and he's like, I don't know.
I don't think that's gonna he's gonna run point.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
No, I think there's it's it's a way to it's
a way to get him on the court.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
With some of those their roster is is completely unbalanced.
They have they're playing basketball like it's nineteen eighties NBA
with I like, it's it's interesting, but they have no
ball handlers. That's why you asked, like thinking about you know,
thinking forward to next Wednesday night, where's my laugh LG

(33:24):
the uh, you know the I'm curious to see what
the actual what the actual odds are on that game,
because it wouldn't surprise me if Vegas says Spurs minus
seven has sie. I don't think it's gonna. I don't
think it's gonna be that big. But I bet they are.

(33:46):
I bet they are favored.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Killing it in the preseason and we're like, and wimby, Wimby's.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Nope, Dallas minus two and a half. That's what I'm
telling you. You keep talking like the Spurs are a
fifty win team. And Dallas is a thirty win team.
I think there's I think there's a really, really, really
good chance that the matchup in Dallas next Wednesday night
is also a play in game. I think there's a
really good chance the Spurs are seven or eight seed

(34:16):
and the MAVs are an eight or nine seed. I
think those are the potentially uh who the Spurs might
be four seed, so you have them ahead of who's
your three, ahead of thee of Minnesota, who's the three
ahead of them, Olama City, Houston and Houston Denver, and

(34:37):
then Spurs at for Yeah, I think there's an abs look.
I don't want to come off as the Debbie down
and I think that it's not. It's less pessimism and realism.
It's the fact that projecting out what this could look like,
there are a lot of scenarios where they are the
four seed. I also think there's a lot of scenarios

(34:57):
where they're the ten seed, and I think the more
most likely somewhere between six and eight. I think if
they get out of a playing spot, I think it'll
be that six.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
That's my Minnesota above them and Clippers.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I would say the Clippers is an interesting one. I
think the Kawhi situation pending, the league is gonna do anything.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
They said the one of them was already subjected to
the league back in two thousand and twenty one. So
one of the one of the allegations was.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Like, oh, that they had already investigated about it, knew
about it. So since you, since you asked for projection,
I did see. ESPN had this earlier today. It was
their you know, their analytics engine ran the simulations, and uh,
they projected how they think each conference is gonna wind up.

(35:54):
And this was ESPN's projection. Golden State actually as the
one seed, Oklahoma City the two seed. I think, don't
don't right off Golden State having a full year of
Jimmy Buckets now Jimmy Butler with them, I don't see
him as much from the tray as he's a playoff guy. Sure,

(36:15):
but it also helps compared to the minutes he's going
to be taking up.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Considering who what else did they get?

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Uh, it can't just be Jimmy Buckles, Horford, Horford, they
got Al Horford. Man, all right, the Warriors are pretty
good Warriors. Okay, see Denver they had Cultics. Memphis, Yeah,
they had Memphis all the way up to a four
seed projection, then the Clippers, then the Rockets, then the

(36:43):
Tea Wolves, And.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
This is where it gets really stupid.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
They had Trailblazers, Sons, Kings, then Spurs, MAVs, Lakers. I
think that is insanely off base. I don't think there's
any chance that is your Western Conference top ten?

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Is that Mecca Hitler doing those partitions pretty much?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I mean I think this.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Is yeah, like, oh, they got a lot of Mexicans
down there.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
But if you were to ask me, yeah, exactly, if
you were to ask me who I think finishes ahead
of San Antonio, I would safely say Oklahoma City, I
would safely say Denver, I would comfortably say Golden State,
I would comfortably say Minnesota and Houston. So I'm already
at five. And that's where Minnesota Minnesota, I mean back

(37:33):
to back Western Conference Finals runs and a year older,
a year more.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
But they traded away.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Then they lost a piece that was kat was two
years ago. They kept naz Reid, they kept but he
still got Randall. I thought the only other team. I
think that's where the questions for me with the Clippers
and or both LA teams for that matter. I mean

(38:00):
healthy is Lebron going to be? How many games are
you actually getting out of him? Because I've also seen
Luca carry a team to a finals top six seed
that had, you know, really really bad supporting cast. So
I just if you're going to try to tell me,
like this projection is that the Trailblazers, the Suns, and

(38:22):
the Kings are all going to finish higher than the Spurs,
I don't think. So that's where I fall in that
six to eight range. But the MAVs, the MAVs are
a mess. They have no guards, which yeah, the last
time I checked in basketball, it's it's not about how
tall your average team height is. And I think they're
gonna they call it a non catch. I think they're

(38:44):
going to struggle a lot.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
How did they call that a non catch? Oh, Bengals
have yeah, come back to take these the first should
have saw the interception. They just had that that. It
was ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
That was a catch. What did you call this earlier?
I called it? I just I was saying that icy
hot bowls Ben Gay bowl. That's got better literation. I
like the double b's there. The only other notes I
had for you. Besides the Sohan injury mentioning the match
up with the MAVs, the MAVs did sign Jason Kidd

(39:18):
to an extension, which I think if you're a Spurs fan,
celebrate the hell out of that because Kid is not
a good coach. Respected in the room. The players love him,
but as far as x's and o's, he's not in
the upper half of NBA coaches.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
I just remember his kid had a huge ass head.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
He also looked very similar to Richard Jefferson, who played
at the University of Arizona when Jason Kidd was a
member of the Phoenix Suns. Not that I have conspiracies,
just suggesting the likenesses a line.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
I believe that was also about the time Jason Kidd
was in a bit of hot water for to mess domestic.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, I guess he. NBA is a lot more forgiving
than oh, very very much, so maybe maybe is the
CT the now.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
The only other note I had was kind of Sohn adjacent.
The deadline for contract extensions amongst the twenty twenty two draftees,
which so Han's a member of, the deadline is Monday
to get any of those contract extensions done. Of course,
we've seen Paolo chet and Jalen Williams all get max extensions.

(40:39):
Jabari Smith Junior signed a team friendly deal with the Rockets,
really team friendly deal, and then there that's scary. There's
been some later like Nikola Yo yok Yovich not Jokic
Jovich signs his deal with the Heat it was like
fifteen milli a year. But the one that most recently

(41:00):
got done was the Keegan Murray deal, number four pick
from that draft, big money, five years, one hundred and
forty million dollars. Yeah, more money than Jabari Smith Junior
got with Houston, which got me thinking as it relates
to Sohan, you know what number. You know obviously five years,
one hundred and forty million, that that's not happening. The

(41:23):
Jabari Smith number, I think he was one hundred and
ten million.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
I mean, we extended the Aaron Fox three years, right,
not four?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Was it only three?

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Or was it because we're taking over this year and
then we added three more on top of that, so
we have them for four, but we extended them only
three three?

Speaker 2 (41:43):
No, it was it was it was a four four
year two twenty nine yeah, okay, it starts, but it starts.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
I remember the stupid stuff.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Well, I had to check that one. The Jabari Smith
junior deal is more in line with potentially. Yeah, his
was a five year, one hundred and twenty two million,
So I think the the number just looking at it.
You know, if it was five for ninety million, you

(42:14):
could talk me into that. But it feels like the
Spurs are definitely going.

Speaker 1 (42:18):
To I think he gets fifteen million year. I think
that's what we want to give him. He might negotiate
to sixteen seventeen million year.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
See five for ninety is eighteen million year. Yeah, I
think that's the that's the number. Just the NBA right now,
they go with the trends well and the middle tier guys. Yeah,
the numbers are really really weird because you're either on
a deal that's like ten or eleven million year or

(42:49):
you're on that nineteen mil. Like that middle ground contract
has not nearly as much. It's because of the way
the uh these rookie extensions are structured that not many
of them kind of fall into that ring. I think
you're going to end up paying I don't. I don't
think so. Hand on eighteen mil a year is a
bad number. I think that you would be.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
His defense is good, he's got the experience, he knows
the system.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
And also by the time, throws are always found by
the time, so hands by the time that deal would
be close to expiring, then you're looking at signing the
long term deals for now. Dylan Harper, Steph Castle. The
winby of course, is a given. I mean, that's gonna
He's gonna get that Superman no matter what. Speaking of
they wait, is.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
He eligible for the Supermax since he didn't get to
so he was.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
He's not yet, but he's I mean if he if
he basically plays a full season, he'll hit the criteria
because I think defensive Player of the Year or first
team All NBA or two second team something like that.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
I thought it would be like first NBA for like
two or three years.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
See I think I think even then by the time,
like I say, if he just stays healthy the next
two years on this deal, they did announce he picked
They picked up his fourth year option, which would be
next year, and they picked up Steph Castle's third year option,
which these are again these are absolute given. You know,

(44:21):
nothing newsworthy there, but I will be keeping an eye
on the Spurs as it relates to Sohan over the weekend,
because it kind of feels like they're gonna do a
wait and see approach like there, it doesn't seem like
there's a whole lot of rush to give him that
contract yet, and there's really outside of potentially losing him

(44:46):
as a restricted free agent if someone else offers him
a big bag this summer, which then the Spurs might
just say, all right, well you got your money somewhere else,
thanks for your time.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Do you think it's so hand and Carter, Brian batt
in and out for the for for starting.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Five, it's it's so it's so hard to project it
right now because of the injuries, because it's not what
we see Wednesday night, is not what we're gonna see
a month from now. Of course, if everyone does get
back injury or.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Pop over there. So you know he's gonna play with
some lineup options.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
I think the obvious your obvious starters are Fox and Wimby,
and then you move into Castle. I think Castle feels
like is as close to a lock as you can
be without being in Wemby.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Fox.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
So there's your three. Yeah, you got so Hendy, but
you think Harrison Barnes has been the veteran leader. They
like him as the knockdown corner three guy.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
You gotta have spacing, but you need a veteran leader
coming off the bench to get that second squad. That's
why we had, you know, Chris paul He played a
lot with the second team last year. I mean the
the like basically the bench. Never they subbed, they kept
Chris pauling. He played a lot of minutes last year.
It was crazy.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
I think. I think ideally when everyone gets back Kelsey,
because we also haven't mentioned Vassel, who feels like he
slots into that starting five unless you turn him into
a super sub six man, instant offense kind of guy,
which I wouldn't mind that either exactly. But you are
paying him fairly big money. It's not that much, is it.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
I think it's like twenty six, twenty eight something like that.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Yeah, yeah, is it that? It's twenty seven. Let's see
someone do math. One hundred and forty six divided by five.
This is riveting content.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
It's thirty. That's like just under thirty. Golly, yeah, at thirty.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Nine, twenty nine, twenty nine point two, twenty nine point
two mil yeah, I think that's so.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
I'm good to Fox at one.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah, Fox at one, Castle two, the Cell, three barns
for Wimby five, I think that's your five when everybody
is back healthy. And I think Villain Harper, Yeah, I
think as your first guy off the bench.

Speaker 1 (47:13):
I think they're gonna try to make Harper just because
they're gonna do a lot of pick and rolls and
they need someone to create stuff off the dribble.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
And oh, he's gonna be the primary playmaker ball handler
of the second unit.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
You think he See That's why I say why not
put v Cell there? Because the primary playmaker ball in
the first unit is going to be the Wimby d
Aaron Fox pick and roll game.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yeah, Vassell doesn't have the doesn't have the you know,
ball handling and passing ability of Dylan Harper.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Dylan Harper range.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, I mean Vassill's gonna Vassill's gonna work nicely as
the you know, off side option of a Fox Wimby
pick and roll, you know, as a spot up guy
opposite side run the pick and roll on one side
of the have the Cell and Barn spot it up
as your corner and your perimeter shooters on the other side,

(48:06):
opening up all that lane for Wimby to operate.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
I'm just thinking of that burst. And also like when
having Castle like cutting, Wimby kicks it out, he kicks
it out to another person that can penetrate and then
pop up and do a shoot. And like I I
think at the end of the year, we're gonna see
Dylan Harper moving into the starter role. But who over
Vassell I think is gonna be our Genobli Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
I think it it's going to Again, all of this
that we're describing are really good problems to have.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Who who do we want on the second team that
could be a starter over in you know, Charlotte or something.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
There's uh, there's about seven dudes, eight dudes on this
roster that would be starters and Charlotte of all places. Yeah,
I'm I'm getting really really excited. I'm gonna have my
buddy Toby up in town next week and we're gonna
sit down and do a full NBA over under because
we did it last year, uh, and we're going to

(49:06):
go back revisit predictions from last year. Also did a
ranking of every team's twenty three and under players. To
see who had the best young core, and you know,
thinking about it now, I don't think I have that
in this binder. No, you know, thinking back to it now,

(49:27):
some of the some of the names you know I
had listed, I'm pretty sure I went Spurs one just
because of Wimby, just because that is such a It
just skews the rankings so much, because he's so in
all the vets have already like they're like almost in
a foregone conclusion.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Like he is the next yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
It's especially now that he's he's said himself, he's gained
thirty pounds since he entered the league's and it's not
it's muscle, obviously, but you add Dylan Harper to that.
Those under those twenty three and under rankings, and there's
no way a team has a better Castle still under

(50:10):
exactly there's your three. There's no way a team. Only
one potentially would be I think he's twenty six, twenty
seven now, the only one would be potentially Oklahoma City
with you know, Ja Dove.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
It's Barnes that's making us old of.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
The cell is still only twenty five, Yeah, it's still
but turned uh oh no, he's a young twenty five
turned twenty five already in August.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
So because we got him like at nineteen and then
he had out like he was, he blossomed as a rookie.
But you know what, I'm super excited about this year.
If you want to queue up this pick Lawrence. Uh,
I'm excited about this game that we got going on
that we kind of talked about last week. If you
see LG, you got to get as close as poss

(51:01):
and take a pic of them. You gotta sit there
and take a pick of them. And I don't really
remember who I saw this at, but I was at
the bar and someone showed me that they saw l
G in the wild of the Frost Bank Center.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
I don't know how to pause this.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
You sent me one of those stupid live pictures.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
We're still working, we're still getting.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Screenshot it there.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
Yeah, there you go. So that's pretty close. Yeah, that is,
that's pretty close.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
Someone's sitting right behind Yeah, I'm standing right in front
of them.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
All they had to do is say hello.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
But no, I don't know who took that picture, but.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
I like that was that little one with the fishing
fishing vest.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
That's a nice official spurs vest.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Hey, man, he's a cameraman. He got drafted.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
How's the how's the how's the shoulder and back doing? Uh?
Are we full fully recovered from the last shift?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Yeah, still still in pain a little bit. It's the hips.
He doesn't have those child bearing hips. You know, they're
small Asian hips. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
You need you need a little you need a little
bigger bass down there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Yeah, it's the legs.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Actually it's the steps of stairs in going up and down.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
But sports cave. You see LG in the wild. Take
a picture of them. Don't do it, don't say hi,
don't do it. As close as you can. That's the job.
I can do it.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
I kinda I kind of like this bid. I'm not
gonna lie. We need to we need to get we
need to get as many of these as possible, so
we can just throw a montage of all of them
at the end of the year, the year in LG,
just this rookie year.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
As a Spurs camera operator. Oh, don't do it. Keep
them coming all right, man, what a we're moving on
to now.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Let's do some cow notes and get into our We'll
talk cows and get into the main Seggee. Somehow the
Commanders are only one and a half point favorites going
into this game on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Yeah, man, I mean you told me. I thought I
didn't know. Scary Terry was limited in practice yesterday, so
I thought he was gonna do But you told me
you didn't practice today.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
So limited yesterday, but was a d NP today. And
you know, for the first time in a few weeks now,
the Cowboys might actually be the healthier team because you know,
from Washington's perspective, Dorrance Armstrong hasn't practiced.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
At all this week.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Scary Terry was a limited participant yesterday but was a
d NP today. Obviously, Deebo hasn't practiced all week. They
did get some good news at least on their offensive
line front. Sam Coused me a full participant and uh

(54:05):
zach Ertz back to a full participant. Zach Ertz been
and Jaden Daniels. But we saw him last week, we
knew he was back.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Zach Ertz. That's a sneaky pickup tight end. Man, if
he's available in your league.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Oh, you mean, going up against this Cowboys defense, you
would pick up the opposing team's past catching tight end. Yeah, Yeah,
that's some that's some free fantasy advice.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
I'm starting two tight ends in a lot of leagues
this week because I picked up zach Ertz. But I
would say that's probably it looks like Terry McLaurin is
not going there. There's real concern that he's not gonna
make it. So, I mean, there's gonna be uh, they're
gonna be leaning on Crosby Merritt, you know which, We're
gonna be working on handoffs.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Yeah, we just controlled Rico go for two hundred, although
he had personal motivation, and I think I think Bill
un Rico. I think Bill there with Washington and will
probably be able to slice this defense up just as bad,
if not worse. The injury side of things, I mentioned
Dallas might be the healthier team. They everybody practiced practice.

(55:13):
So today is shot. His birthday Today is a Schottenneimer's birthday.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Oh yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Asked him, you know what was what did he get
for his birthday? What was his birthday gift? And so
corny cheesebag. He just pointed at CD. He goes this,
this right here, this is my birthday gift. It's so great,
it's so great, it's so great. How bad it is
he's making six seven jokes and press conferences. It's it's awful.

(55:42):
You don't need to just watch last night South Park episode.
Peter Till has all the answers for you. But every
single Cowboy that is active, so basically excluding Demarvian Overshown,
who they still haven't opened up his twenty one day
practice window. They're thinking he'll probably be back what is it,

(56:04):
November seventeenth against the Raiders, uh, their first game after
their bye week. But everyone else that is on the
injured list or on the injury report did practice. Now
most of them were limited, but you mentioned CD. CD
was limited. But it looks like he's gonna go.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Yeah, Tyler Booker, let's hope you guys don't run him
out of the backfield anymore.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
Yeah, probably shouldn't do that, especially while he's at least
wait a few weeks until you get him hurt again.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
Yeah, nothing matters. Just throw him, throw him wherever, get
the ball.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Pickings out the backfield because pickens. He ain't gonna sign
no extension.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
We'll get to that again. If the money's right, he will,
and the money can be right.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
It's a matter of whether Dallas Satts is agent exactly.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Tyler Booker, the first round pick from this last April
right guard. He was back in practice limited both days,
but it also sounds like he's going to be a
go and then arguably more important than either one of
those two guys. Cavante Turpin seems to be back. It
feels like the Cowboys might have a Webbart exactly exactly,

(57:23):
and then we only need to get one first down
for Brandon Aubrey to put points on the board. Speaking
of putting points on the board, we've obviously covered just
how historically bad this Cowboys defense has been. But when
I saw that the line was only Commanders favored one
and a half, I you know, I was doing prep

(57:44):
looking at Washington to begin with, but started looking a
little closer to just how there, you know, where their
inefficiencies are where Vegas is seeing that. This is because
I mean I watched this Cowboy game or this Cowboy team,
and I don't see them within a point and a

(58:06):
half of any team in the division right now, especially
after the Giants just.

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Beat the Eagles last week.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Washington twenty sixth in the league in yards allowed per game.
They allowed their defense allows three hundred and fifty seven yards.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
But that was kind of their mo last year exactly.
It was like they just had to get score over
thirty points.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
And that's why they were seven to one in or No.
Eight and one in one score games, which is what
I said at the beginning the hell Mary against Chicago.
That's what I said at the beginning of the year.
If if they just fall back to the average in
those they're a below five hundred football team despite playing

(58:49):
in the NFC Championship Game last year. But even worse,
their defense on the road allows three hundred and ninety
two yards so far this season. Yea, with see the
pickins right like they're gonna they're Dak's gonna.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
Throw for a three over three for sure.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
The problem though, like we saw in Carolina, Dak being
able to throw is one thing you can't They cannot
play complimentary football if they can't run the ball. And
all of a sudden last week, Javonte Williams is getting
one yard rushes every time he touches the ball. I'm
not looking for Dallas to win. I'm just looking for

(59:28):
him to throw it to Ceedee Lamb for your point, Sure,
but the you know, thinking about talking about the Cowboys
being allergic to complimentary football, that's basically what the commanders are, right.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
What was the percentage last year? Last week? What was
it like thirty seventy run pass.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
On play calling? Yeah, yeah, I mean because Dak ended
up throwing what fifty you.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Know, that was like fifty times. They threw Dylan Gabriel's
second game over in Cleveland through almost sixty times, and
they got the Quinn Jenkins Jenkins Yeah, I'm sure a
bunch on junk. Yeah, Judkins Yeah, in like he's been.
He's been a stud breakout, you know. Once he got
off the suspension and they sit there and make Dylan

(01:00:17):
Gabriel throw it almost sixty times, I was like, what
are y'all doing? Man?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Yeah, I will say the it's kind of interesting. The
so right now through the season, Cowboys are sixty five
thirty five run or passed to run ratio. They've they
have absolutely they relied on the But at the same time, though,

(01:00:45):
when they had been handing the ball off, Javonte Williams
was giving them something until last week, which I would
expect potentially we see a bounce about the.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Mighty Carolina Panthers stopped him and the week a big
iro the week before.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
That's a Carolina team that's given up fifty rushing yards
in the last two games. And it's not like Dallas
was bad at the run game going into that game,
but Carolina might have found something on defense. Yeah, it's
interesting though, because you know, think about the two head
coaches in this game. Schottenheimer an offensive guy, former offensive coordinator,

(01:01:23):
calling the plays and he's got the number one offense
in the league. Dan Quinn, DQ defensive guy, defensive coach,
former defensive coordinator, now head coach, and his defense is
in the bottom five, bottom six in the league. So

(01:01:43):
it's kind of funny to see, you know, on Dallas's side,
the head coach is coaching to his expertise. On the
Washington side, it's the head coach. It's his side of
the ball that's letting that team down right now. Which
I also think.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
Did you hear what Dan that Dan Quinn did before
he took the head coaching job over at Washington educate me.
He had I think three separate evaluators evaluate him on
his coaching, his style.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Oh I hear this, and he sent out like a
survey to former coaches.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
It's basically like, you know, hey, rate your professor type thing.
You know, it's like smart think of that, and it's like, yeah,
I'm like dude, now that's someone who's looking to grow
as a coach and not have the ego of like, yo,
you know, I'm coming here deserving this type thing.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
I think when you blow a twenty eight to three
lead in a Super Bowl, when you're a defensive minded coach,
that probably you're probably always open to ways you can
you can adjust your you can adjust your coaching.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Style or ability.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Yeah, we were talking before the game. It is I
should say it's the first. I think I have this
quote somewhere. It's the first Cowboys game for Shot as
the head coach that they're playing at home in the
late afternoon window. And you might not think that means anything,

(01:03:10):
and it shouldn't. If they would just close the damn
curtains that they closed for every single concert that is
held in that stadium, but for the Cowboy game they
got they gotta let God see the team. They got
rid of those He needs to see his team. They
got rid of the hole in the roof. But they've
got to find they've.

Speaker 1 (01:03:29):
Still last week that actually like basically kind of delivered
a win because at the right at the end it
was the light in the shadows in the end zone
for the opposing team. Oh man, it was definitely a
late window like late window game.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Yeah, I can't remember there was a shot. He's quote, Okay,
all right, you ready for this. Yeah, there's a big
This is Shody speaking about dealing with the sun. Quote,
there's a big plan in process. But I think when
you look at historically at what's happened, it hasn't really
affected many situations. We plan for it, the opponent's planned

(01:04:13):
for it. But at the end of the day, it's
something that we're aware of. It's very beautiful. It's majestic
when the sun comes through there. He's so he's over
there taking like just taking in the scenery while he
should be coaching the game.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Like he's like, I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
It's very, very beautiful, majestic. He also went on to
mention that they have they have satellite imagery that lets
them know exactly, Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
They ready. They gave him brought like a weatherman a
job and the Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Quote, if you guys could see the process and the
plan we have in place to figure it out. We
have satellite imaging, we have pictures of the sun and
when it's coming down, there's a big plan in process.
So uh yeah, closes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
So you don't have to, like if Jerry's such a
cheap ass, like close the things, you don't have to
pay a meteorologist because.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
He all he cares about is the presentation that goes
on every TV screen in America. He doesn't care about
winning the games because also Shody is saying, we don't
see it affect games too often. It was last year
when Cedee Lamb dropped the pass on staring right at
the sun. Let's not run a route right in the sun,

(01:05:39):
thrill your best pass catcher. Yeah, I all that being said,
the sun is not the enemy Sunday. It is the
Washington Commies, who were favored by one and a half points.
This is a game we will be picking, of course.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Yeah. Greg is sitting here trying to get me to
do just a Niners minute because he does want to
hear more than just one minute of a team that
just works the Cowboys every time. I love you, Greg,
but we talk more than a minute on the nine.
I don't know where.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
Where are you at?

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Where am I at?

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
You're taking Washington? I feel all right? So you want
me to lock it in, write it down, lock it in? Okay?

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
And I figured I could have you know what, No, no,
don't lock it in. I pull it back.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
What makes you think Dallas is going to work?

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
Okay? Let me lamb back?

Speaker 2 (01:06:47):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
So they got ceedee lamback, they got turp and you
got me on that one. They're healthier than they've been.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
I will say this also all season they haven't repeated
the same results as twice. So they they lost, then
they won, then they lost, then they tied, then they won,
then they lost. So track record would say this is
either a win or a time.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
I'm thinking it's like this. This is the Cowboys woes,
like get their high. Oh, now we want a division game.
We might be able to pull off this division. Then
the next game they're gonna lose. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
I think Washington. I think Washington is closer to Dallas
than they are Philly within just comparing the division. I
don't know what to think of. Honestly, I don't know
what to think of the Giant Bow. Now let me
see what the status of Debo is Debo. I don't
Debo's out. He didn't practice all week.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
He's out.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
Don't believe he will be playing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
I might. This is This is a dirty one, y'all.
This one's for you, Greg. I'm going Cowboys.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
Are you really going strike out? Strike through Washington? Now, Okay,
don't pull it back again. We're marketing, we're lucking it
in here. But they like when I pull it out. No,
I prefer it to just stay in. Dallas.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Can't back out of a parking spot.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Plus one point five. See now that you've taken Dallas.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
Washington. I do, Yes, I do. I do interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
I think it's I think it's similar to the Carolina game.
I think it's whoever has the ball last, And if
Dallas can't run the ball like they couldn't in Carolina,
that means Washington's gonna end up probably being the team
with the last possession just because Dallas can't milk clock.
They either it's either big play or it's.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Wants that he wants that revenge game in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
I also don't want to pick it against the Cowboys
and then give you a point in our rankings. If
you actually if you actually take I'll go with you.
I don't think Washington's very good. I think last week,
you're gonna pick the Cowboys. I think I am Yeah,
I thought you said you're gonna pick the Washington I
was considering it, but consider it. I just I can't

(01:09:14):
bring myself everything I've read about their defense and the
injuries they have. If the Cowboys are ever going to
be able to stop a team.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
Is this gonna be the Jane Daniels.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
It's just going to be because they don't have their weapons,
and potentially this is a week where the Cowboys defense
might look serviceable.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
And this is where I like, I got like I
try to put them in my mentality into like what
is Washington thinking. They're like, man, you know they're getting
their best player back. You know, it's going to be
a shootout. But if we had our Debo and Terry
and some of our defensive pieces, we could blow them out.
You know, it's gonna be a tough game. So I

(01:09:55):
think they're already setting themselves up for a loss. It's
an away game for Washington, you know. Yeah, that's where
my men, that's where my head's at.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
It's also a motivated Washington team, though, after that they
should disappointing loss against Chicago where they should have won
if it wasn't for a fumble. No, I'm locking it in.
We're both taking Dallas. We're both taking Dallas with the points.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
We're London bridging.

Speaker 2 (01:10:23):
Three twenty five kickoff Sunday afternoon, turning our attentions out West.
Your Niners are hosting the Falcons. You want to guess
the line?

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
Uh, Niners one and a half minus.

Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
Like, yeah, favorites. I figured I kind of thought they
would be closer to uh, three and a half four,
but it's only two and a half. Niners minus two
and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Always always an inch away. I just needed that one
extra inch.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Well, I was about to say, let me see, I'll look.
It's also the Sunday night game.

Speaker 1 (01:11:00):
Yep, it is prime time. So what I'm scared of
is what I say.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
It opened at three and a half, but it's dropped
down to yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Because pretty like it doesn't look like Mustafa's going to play.
But uh, it's also trending that Pearsall might not be playing.
So I think that's why in the beginning he practiced.
I think his need and react. So we are going
to get party back most likely, But you know the

(01:11:32):
friction with Juwan Jenning's. But like Perty and Jenny's have
a better chemistry. Let's see if that translate with Kendrick
Bourne as well as well as mac Jones and Born
had it. But Perty and DeMarcus Robinson looked real good
during the preseasons and during practice.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
He was supposed to be the X factor that people
had their eye on. You haven't even mentioned the big name.
Y'all are getting back.

Speaker 1 (01:11:59):
Right up the middle. Brittle Kittle will be back. Whoa
you gotta say stuff like that, like what brittle Kittle?

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Oh, I'm sorry, I meant George.

Speaker 1 (01:12:09):
You just see this is what makes me. But we
don't have the best linebacker in the league.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Yeah, that one hurts, possibly, especially going up against Bejon.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
You know, Bijon is ridiculous, and we don't look like
we have the greatest run defense there is. But I
think it's going to be a shootout. I'm scared of
those blitzes that I saw that they just kept on
pouring on.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
Yeah, they blitzed more than any team had so far
this season. And that win over Buffalo on Monday Night,
and Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Is seems like a way better runner than Party, but
Party's escapability I put on an elite level with Baker
and Patrick, Like he is slippery, man, He's very slippery,
like deceptively, you know he's not He's not gonna be
taking off running like.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
A Lamar or Jaden or anything like that, or even
a Josh, but he will he will buy his time.
But he's going to have to see all those blitzes
and like it's gonna be crazy. But who's better than
Kyle Shanahana drafting up, scheming up something. Nobody, Nobody's better

(01:13:25):
at him.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
He's gonna he's gonna be like, he's gonna be like
blitz me, which makes me think they're not gonna blitz
this week. They're gonna show it and they're gonna drop back,
And I think this is gonna this is gonna be
a chess match. And I want to say the Niners,
you know, out of fandom, but I picked first last time,

(01:13:46):
so you gotta pick first this time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
I I feel about Atlanta about the same way I
do Washington, Like I think there is a scenario where
they in the season as a playoff team, but I
don't trust them enough yet to not have a disappointing
not have a disappointing showing a week after a big

(01:14:10):
win nobody expected against Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
And Buffalo's defense is just like they literally went out
and try to get they try to get safety help
this week because their safeties are just garbage. You saw
Drake London goal, like just running rough shot over him.
But we're gonna put Leonor on him and he's a
shutdown corner.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
And that was also in the Dome in Mercedes in
Atlanta and Kyle pet Atlanta traveling to the West Coast
for a primetime Sunday night game.

Speaker 1 (01:14:38):
And we're gonna be hyped because we had a chance
to beat Baker. We had a chance to beat Baker.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
We're all saddened by Fred Warner.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
We're all just reeling from this one. You know. He
was the hard and soul of the team, you know,
and because like all in all, you know, the Steve Youngs,
the montanae As, the Rice and stuff. It was always
that defense. Always Ronnie lock Patrick willis you know.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Charles Haley before Yeah, Charles Haley, this number, Yeah, it's
team bonding. Guess what you need? Uh? If this number
had stayed at three and a half. I would have
been more interested in Falcons with the points, but I
I feel like the Niners minus two and a half

(01:15:30):
is the way I'm leaning, and I will write it
down and promise not to take it back. Give me
Niners to cover two and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
I'm gotta I gotta roll with that one as well.
Go I fandom. My fandom might kill me on this one,
but it will all year. So we are lockstep. Yeah,
so let's see. Let's see the contender category.

Speaker 2 (01:15:59):
So the game of the week. There are some actual
there's some pretty good games this week. There's also there's
no It's kind of weird the way it's fallen, like
the bad teams are playing each other and the good
teams are playing each other. So here's the ones I
had lined up potentially for us to choose from Rams

(01:16:21):
at Jags for once, the fans in England watching this
game at historic Wimbley Stadium will actually get a good
game for once, both four and two teams. Technically it's
a Jaguars home game, but it doesn't matter. Rams are
two and a half point favorites.

Speaker 1 (01:16:43):
In that one.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
Also, Eagles at Vikings. Be curious to see how the
Eagles respond after getting their pants pulled down by the Giant.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Which is still quarterback not JJ, right.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Right, I think. But I also think there is some
level of discourse, uh, regarding who is going to be
their starting quarterback. I think JJ is getting close to
the point of being a healthy scratch.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Really Yeah, Like I know they were like doing a
trying to pull the controversy. Yeah, quarterback controversy on that one. Yeah,
that's a good that's a good one. Give me, give
me some other other.

Speaker 2 (01:17:29):
On the list. This is a fun one. How about
Colts the five and one the AFC leading Indianapolis Colts
traveling to LA to take on the four and two Chargers.
That's being Chargers one and a half point favorite there.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
The only place where they lost so far. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
And then we get another we get a true doubleheader
on Monday night football. This next week header yeah, six
and nine kickoff times six o'clock game is Buccaneers at Lions.
Lions haven't lost back to back games in three years
under Dan.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
That to me is probably the game of the week.
And then the late kickoff is it's fun for local ties,
nothing else. Texans traveling to Seattle so that's a nine
o'clock kick up in Seattle, the.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
Bucks in Detroit. I say we give those Limey.

Speaker 2 (01:18:28):
I kind of want to pick that one too, Rams Jags, Yeah,
the Rams Jazz.

Speaker 1 (01:18:33):
And then do you want to throw this one up
to LG? You want to pick a number? LG?

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
I think we should because there's also some bad games
that if we, like, if we had to pick Dolphins Browns,
that would that would be kind of fun, like that
wouldn't be bad. Yeah, LG, give me a number between
one and fifteen, and it can't be one, thirteen, thirteen.

(01:18:58):
Well okay, how about uh not thirteen because that's your
Niners game that's Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (01:19:03):
Not one and not thirteen. All right? Eight? Eight?

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Oh man, you're gonna make me count right to the middle. One, two, three, four, five,
six seven? You ready for this one? We will be picking.
It's a one and a half point spread, so it's
gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be close. How
about the three and three Carolina Panthers traveling to the

(01:19:29):
Meadowlands to take on the winless Jets. How about that?
How about that? Fun? Oh and it's a noon kickoff,
No that's great. The kind of trash we got to.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Mix it up. We're picking an ass game.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
The ass needs to be represented, and uh, we're doing
we're doing our part here. Uh Panthers only one and
a half point favorites in this game, and we're not
gonna spend a lot of time. I'm breaking this down.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Just the other humiliation of the Jets. Who they think
they're gonna rally. Who's their head coach now?

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
A former Aggie, former Cowboy, former.

Speaker 1 (01:20:12):
Jets, so he's used to being embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
That's right, that's right, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
That one last? You want to pick this one? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
I feel like we should just get this one out
of the way because there's not a lot of analysis. Yeah,
I mean, give me Rico. The Jets have to win
a game.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
At some point. You take the points.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
Panthers feeling themselves, they.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Are feeling this is a trap game.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
This is the definition. Panthers are back to five hundred,
back to back, strong run defense. I think you would
be I think you would be insane to take the
Jets against anybody right now.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
So I gotta go. No, I don't have about that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
I don't have that level of psycho. I think I
think we're about.

Speaker 1 (01:21:10):
To go three for o Ed grim Ed Green. It does,
oh Ed, it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Does make me incredibly uncomfortable to write Panthers minus one
and a half and in my column here on they
got you. Yeah, I mean they would have covered. They
would have covered one and a half against the Cowboys,
so surely surely they cover one and a half against
the against the winds.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
Rushing yards.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
That's what I'm saying. Eventually, they the Jets aren't gonna go.

Speaker 1 (01:21:45):
Win Carrot Wilson Hall like you got players.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
See that's when I say that Carolina run defense has
been great the last two weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Which either they Old Man a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
Either they continue that trend or Breist Hall ends up
running wild. Which one you want to do next? Rams
Jags across the Pond. This is a our UK listener
out here thirty kickoff. Rams favored by two and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
It's the Jags. How's pooka? Pooka's gonna play?

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
I believe so yeah, yeah, it's hard to believe that
with that with Kyrie Williams, Puka DeVante Adams and even
though they kind of laid an egg yet last week,
their defense isn't bad. Do you see that The Rams
practiced all week in Baltimore at Camden Yard. They turned
the outfield into a football practice field because they didn't

(01:22:49):
want to travel all the way back to LA and
then have to travel to England.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
The Baltimore that's very nice, said O Baltimore. Let them
do that. I gotta go with the NFC West on
this one, man.

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Yeah, I'm still not I think the Jaguars are.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
They get Travis Hunter involved my you know, total d
bag scoop of my main league where I took him
as an idp oh yeah for both and he doesn't
even put up as much points as like a linebacker
like I would have. I would have probably been more
successful if I picked just a linebacker and picked my

(01:23:31):
fifth round pick on someone else.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Pokah is out, Pooka's out, Pooka's out. Oh well, it's leaning.

Speaker 1 (01:23:40):
Leaning towards it. He's not going to be one hundred
percent either.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
Yeah, Jaguars got it handed to him. It didn't look
like it on the scoreboard, but it wasn't pretty. Last
week Jacks would get two and a half points. Yep, man,
they they they show out over there. I kind of
forgot Liam Cohen is from the Sean McVay coaching tree too.

(01:24:08):
He was, well, that's really the kind of college Shanahan
coaching tree. McVeigh and Shanahan aren't.

Speaker 1 (01:24:14):
McVeigh was Shanahan's assistant.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Oh, I guess I'm thinking, what's who's the other big
tree then? Right now? Of from the NFL? I thought
it was just Shanny right now? Oh what was it? Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:24:30):
Not Andy Reid?

Speaker 2 (01:24:31):
Oh that's who I'm Yeah, that's too Andy Reid's.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I'm gonna switch it up.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
No pookah no one huh yeah, no, no points.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
Okay, I'm going yags, going yaggs. Just a guy's what
time's that game? Starting?

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
Eight thirty? I know, I hate him? I hate him.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Why just play at night? London? Yeah? You know, why
don't they play it? As?

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
I think there's like an order a primetime night because
they play all their soccer during the daytime. No, no,
because like do they have night times? Absolutely yet because
they have they have a primetime night game that kicks
off at like two o'clock our time. That's their yeah,
and they're not capturing all the now. I dude, if

(01:25:22):
these games had been around, you cannot.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
I started at eleven. Just give us like an hour early.

Speaker 2 (01:25:28):
Before and even and that again that's there. That would
be the equivalent of their like four o'clock, five o'clock
kickoff local time, eleven o'clock our time. Are you locking
it in Jack's plus two and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:25:43):
Home field advantage?

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
Well, if you were going to give me a chance
to home field advantage, I guess their owner is he
also owns Fulham, the London.

Speaker 1 (01:25:55):
Even Eva Longoria with the cock yeah, with some I
think it was also the dude from Always Sunny.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
Yeah, he's back.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
They got a Mexican team, Yeah, they got a Mexican
football team.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
What was the other game we said we were going
to do.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
Oh yeah, Colts Chargers, Colts Chargers.

Speaker 2 (01:26:18):
Five and one, Colts four and two Chargers in La.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Wait, no, we didn't say that. We know.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
The other one was Bucks Lions. That's the one Bucks
Lion and that is the first Monday night game. That's
a six o'clock. Baker might have got that third and
thirteen on us without Bosa and Fred Warner running him down.
I don't think he can do that against Aiden Hudsons

(01:26:48):
and Aiden Hutchinson and.

Speaker 1 (01:26:52):
Who's there.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
Take a guess on this line in Detroit.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
In Detroit, I'm gonna say a Detroit minus two and
a half.

Speaker 2 (01:27:03):
Yeah, dude, Tampa Bay continues to get no respect from Vegas.
It's Detroit minus five and a half. Oh man, and
that's what it opened at too. Wow, it hasn't moved.
This is gonna this is gonna be a fun one
to pick because that's a a lot of points between Mike.

Speaker 1 (01:27:24):
But Abukas out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
I mean, that's been their only consistent weapons and the.

Speaker 1 (01:27:30):
Reason why it was such a I believe it was
such a close game. And for like the injury riddled
Niners and the injury riddled Tampa's, they both are injury riddled,
hence the name injury Riddle.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
So the Buccaneers are the first team in NFL history
with four wins by three or fewer points through the
first five weeks of a season.

Speaker 1 (01:27:53):
And the only one they the only one they have
is against US.

Speaker 2 (01:27:56):
I think Tampa Bay is what Washington was last year.
I think their record is going to look a lot
better than their actual team quality. But they also could
very well could be playing in the NFC Championship Game if.

Speaker 1 (01:28:09):
They were fully healthy. This is a non issue, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
Also, the Lions won't have Branch because he pulled jujus.

Speaker 1 (01:28:18):
You know, you know, he lawyered, lawyered up, and they're
they're basically he lawyered up and he's basically going through
all the films. Supposedly this dude was talking mad crap
to him. Oh, I'm sure he was whole game and
he was like, he crossed the line. He should have
been flagged for this flag, for this back hit. You know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
But this is something we used to all agree on
as a country that words actually aren't as meaningful as
actions like branch. We saw they pull his ear, Yeah,
start the postgame scuffle like if I'm sure some of
the stuff that was said to him crossed the line,
but it also wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
But the NFL also cracked down on like you can't
say slur words and.

Speaker 2 (01:29:01):
Stuff like that unless he's got it on video.

Speaker 1 (01:29:04):
And that's why that's why he's going for because I
think there's a lot of stuff that was Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
I don't know how Yeah, unless he could get that footage,
I don't know how you prove it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:11):
Otherwise, though he's going full lawyer mode and like's not playing,
He's not the game wreckord.

Speaker 2 (01:29:19):
No. But the bigger problem is the fact that the
Lions have five players on injured reserve out of their
secondary like it's it's the it's the cherry on top
of all of the other injury.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Lineup. Still gotta go with Dan Quinn.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Man, Dank Campbell and Campbell one of the Dans five
and a half at home against the team they're looking
up to in the NFC standings. I took Dan, We
both took Dan last week, and it burned us. That
was Uh, that was the only game where neither you

(01:30:02):
or I picked the correct winner. The other ones we
were split on and one of us got it. We
agreed on the Lions, and it burned us both.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
So what you're saying is you're picking Tampa.

Speaker 2 (01:30:13):
I'm suggesting in Baker plus five and a half points
if Vegas continues to give me five and a half
points in a Bakery eight and a half point Still,
it's more than a field goal. It's closer to a
full touchdown than it is a field goal.

Speaker 1 (01:30:33):
Yeah, I'm sticking to my guns.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
Man taking Lions minus five and a half. Yeah, Lions
minus five and a half. All right, we are going
to have some differences in this week's picks because we
have two differences, right, Yeah, the final two I'm because
I will take those points, give me Bucks and Baker plus.

(01:30:59):
And this is the first Monday night game five and
a half. Yeah, this is the early one. So recapping.
Both took Dallas, both took the Niners, both took the Panthers.
I took the Rams, you took the Jags. I took
the Bucks, you took the Lions. And our overall I
lead nine to eight overall.

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
So it could flip. It could flip. It could flip
this week. It could flip this week.

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
I don't feel good about any of these picks, to
be completely on, I think.

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
The one one of us has got to get the
five hundred on the least, the like overall thing, because
they're like just under five.

Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
Yeah, we're right at the we're right at the profitable line.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
Where people like trust Jack, Tpachip DIZZL more than us
right now. Well, I don't know, but they don't. They don't.
They don't.

Speaker 2 (01:31:43):
Last week we did better than Yeah, they're not doing
against the spread.

Speaker 1 (01:31:46):
They're not doing spreads.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Last last week we did better against chat GP Tizzle.
Also we have, uh, we've been picking some like last week,
you had three and a half point under dog that hit.
I had a four and a half point underdog that hit.
The week before that, I had an eight and a
half point. Both of us had eight and that was

(01:32:08):
the crazy Niners line. But you had, oh you have. Actually,
the Jags have been really good to you looking back
over the last few weeks. When when you pick the Jags,
they cover. When I picked the Jags, they don't. So
we're back on a week where you're picking the Jags
and I'm picking against them. So right in the hot hand, baby,

(01:32:28):
we'll see if history holds. Let's do some college football
talk before we get into the lightning round. We have
Week eight officially already underway, but the first big standout
game of the week is actually tomorrow night. It seems
like Miami always ends up playing in a crazy Friday

(01:32:51):
night game. Last year, I think it was the Georgia
Tech game that was on a Friday time.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Number two overall in a Friday game.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Against a good Louisville team unranked but four and one
traveling Louisville traveling to Miami.

Speaker 1 (01:33:08):
Yeah, I think they're gonna get work, though.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
I tend to agree with you there, although again I'm
pretty sure it was Georgia Tech last year that should
have beat them on a Friday night and Miami ends
up winning on a late touchdown pass. I wouldn't be
surprised if this the spread is thirteen and a half.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's right there at that

(01:33:32):
like a thirty five twenty one, somewhere within that two
touchdown range. But Miami does look to be back, at
least closer to the intimidating Miami that we grew up with,
the Ken Dorsey Miami. And then looking at Saturday, there's
some good games Saturday we're hitting. Yeah, well even further back. Yeah,

(01:33:57):
the Catholics versus convicts the Saturday. The SEC is fully
uh cranking out matchups week after week. Now this week
it's no different. Number five ole Miss traveling to Athens
take on number nine Georgia Bulldogs.

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
This is gonna be a crucial game. Man. Will ole
Miss submit the like cement cement cement their authority or will.

Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
They submit as the lesser team and be submissive to
the Georgia Bulldogs. Feel I think that's more likely to happen.

Speaker 1 (01:34:37):
Yeah, I feel like this one's gooding, Like, that's a
good two thirty game. I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:34:41):
The Old Miss game last week screwed me up because
I was liking everything I had seen from Ole Miss
and then they barely squeaked by a bad, bad Washington
State team. Yeah, at home in front of a lifeless crowd.
That it was a trap game.

Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
It was definitely like one of those ones they were
looking over, because they were definitely looking at this game,
no question, ques No, It's like, okay, go get go
warm up with the Washington State. Let's put sixty burger
on them, you know, let's get our all engines clicking.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
If you're Lane Kiffin, do you entertain the idea of
jumping ship to Penn State? Is that a big enough
upgrade over Ole Miss?

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
Lane lanes out there in us Ole Miss? Oh? I
was thinking of USC. Yeah, what about Auburn? Kirby, who's
it Auburn? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:35:38):
Hugh Freeze Yeah, yeah, no am I thinking of that
was like, if you want to keep losing Clemson's quarter
out dab dabo, Yeah, that wouldn't be enough of I
don't think you leave the SEC to go to Clemson.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
To go to the to go no, no, the Clemson
to go to Penn State.

Speaker 2 (01:35:59):
Oh if if da uh, I don't think Penn State
would pick up. I think Dabo's calling Penn State to
try to get that Penn State. It's like, nah, we're good,
Well we'll stick with an interim before we give you money.

Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
I uh, yeah, I don't know. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
It's interesting because there's going potentially we're going to see
some blue blood program. Like the next game on this
list was number ten LSU traveling to take on number
seventeen Vandy. Yeah, Vanderbilt. Like if Brian Kelly loses three
four games again this year, yeah, I don't think he's
back as the LSU coach. And that's another like, if

(01:36:39):
you're Lane Kiffin, do you entertain jumping within the conference
from old It feels like Lane is the Lane's the
guy that if you want an established.

Speaker 1 (01:36:50):
He's like the urban Meyer. He wants to change conference,
I think, and didn't like dominate that conference, while he's
like I dominated the SEC for a little bit. I
want to I want to Naddy here and now I
want to go win one in the Big Ten and
beat the old Buckeyes.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Yeah. I I'm really really curious to see how this
coaching carousel goes because I think obviously LSU potentially is open.
I mean, hell if if oh You plummets, Brent Vinnables
is not in a comfortable position.

Speaker 1 (01:37:24):
They been getting worked by the two loss non ranked
Texas team. But like also to the second year in
a row.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Also, you haven't scored a touchdown against them in three
of the last four years. I mean that that burns
up the OU alumni and fan base. Uh you did mention, Yeah,
you lose, You lose your job for that, for that game.
You know, even though Auburn can point to the SEC
officiating that has potentially cost them a couple of wins,
that could be another. There's gonna be some big, big

(01:37:54):
programs that are that are open looking for coaches. Lane's
the name I just keep circling back to because he's
got He's got old Miss up to number five. But
it doesn't feel like no one Ole Miss is not
in the same You.

Speaker 1 (01:38:08):
Got Jackson, You got Jackson Dart to go above everybody else.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
And yeah it wasn't Dart originally USC kid. Yeah, transferred
to Well there's another one. How comfortable is Lincoln Riley
at USC? I mean, we're gonna see, we're gonna see.

Speaker 1 (01:38:24):
Some heads roll.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
Getting back to the LSU game and Brian Kelly potentially
being one of those. It's insane to me. It's still
very hard for me to wrap my head around the
fact that Vanderbilt is a two and a half point
favorite over LSU.

Speaker 1 (01:38:44):
That's insane.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
That's crazy lay there, and it's not baseball. And even
in baseball, they wouldn't be a two and a half
run favorite, or at best it would be a push,
you know that.

Speaker 1 (01:38:57):
But that gives you. If UT ends up running the
that gives them even more AMMO. If Vandy beats l
s U.

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
Yeah and yeah, yeah, I mean ut obviously Vanderbilt, Georgia
an M. The three biggest hurdles left Texas playing Kentucky
traveling to Kentucky this week, which you could call it
a trap game, but I think Kentucky is so bad
you can't even really call it that. If you lose

(01:39:25):
that game.

Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
Texas, if they're not locked in to run the table,
I don't know what they like.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
Fire that coach, Yeah, especially after after the big win
against Ou. You can't follow that up with a loss
on the road to Kentucky still in the SEC.

Speaker 1 (01:39:43):
That's a six o'clock game on ESPN.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
The Texas game is Oh, they're still getting I'm surprised
they're getting big.

Speaker 1 (01:39:49):
ESPN because the last name Manning's out there.

Speaker 2 (01:39:52):
Yeah, that's fair. Speaking of last name Manning, Number eleven
Tennessee traveling to Tuscaloosa take on number six Alabama. Alabama
both five and one. Tennessee still probably feeling like they
should be undefeated if their kicker had made that kick
at the end of regulation against Georgia. I'm not sure

(01:40:13):
what to make of either of these teams. I think Bama,
I think Tennessee's really good. I think Bama's really good.
I'm not sure how much better Georgia is than either
one of these teams. Obviously, Georgia has beaten both of them.

Speaker 1 (01:40:30):
We're gonna learn a lot this week.

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Both of their well, No, Georgia, Bama beat Georgia, Bama's
losses to Florida State opening week. Yeah, that's it's it's
that it's that pass around. Bama's beaten Georgia, Georgia's beaten Tennessee. Yeah,
and now Tennessee's playing Bama.

Speaker 1 (01:40:48):
So yeah, they're like they're gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
It's a shocking Oh it's a shocking spread.

Speaker 1 (01:40:52):
Though.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
You want to take a guess. Tennessee on the road
at Bryant Denny Stadium Bama minus four and a half
double it eight and a half. Wow, Right, Okay, So
a lot of respect for bets. So they're saying Bama's
getting they're getting back to their getting back to their swagger.
I mean, if if you if you remove what Florida

(01:41:15):
State has looked like since Week one and you look
at how good Bama has looked outside of that opening
week loss to what turns out to be a pretty
average to below average Florida State team. I I think
you you kind of throw that loss out. Yeah, the

(01:41:36):
five wins are will tell you way more about what
Bama is this year than a fluke loss on opening
week to Florida State. I think Bama might be might
be good good.

Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
So my the the game that I am hype on
is we got it's the the six thirty game. Oh no,
that's the not the six thirty USC and Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
I love it old traditional second probably second hardest game
Notre Dame has left.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
On their schedule. Yeah, and that one's is not the hardest,
Like one of them's got to. I think it's gonna
be a blowout either way, which I just blowout USC
wins is a blowout or to Dame wins, because one
of them is gonna get exposed with this, and it's
I mean, USC has only got the one loss. Notre

(01:42:30):
Dame's got the two losses.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
Yeah, but their their losses are not the same, you know,
look at like look at Notre Dame's two losses. Notre
Dames started zero to two. Their two losses were to
the now number two ranked Miami Hurricanes in week one
and the number five four ranked text A and m
Aggie's Yeah in week two. So they lost to Miami

(01:42:54):
and Texas A and M and have let's say some
of their other score. They put fifty six up on Purdue,
fifty six up on Arkansas, got Sam Pittman fired. Yeah,
won by three touchdowns over Boise, won by four touchdowns
over n.

Speaker 1 (01:43:09):
Ccon was playing Arkansas this week.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
Yeah, that's gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:43:11):
I don't think Arkansas, like, honestly, I don't think Arkansas.
They're two and four.

Speaker 2 (01:43:15):
Like, you know, that's they're they're a shadow of what
they're what they want. They got so much booster money
that they can do something, but the like they need,
they need to blow that thing up. Yeah, well they
need to have the Waltons and Jerry Jones. Yeah, money

(01:43:36):
whipped some boosters head coach. Yeah, and also money whip
a roster together. H You mentioned USC has one loss.
It's to a team that I still don't know what
to make of them. USC lost to Illinois by two points.

Speaker 1 (01:43:52):
Illinois looked good until Indiana put that whooping on.

Speaker 2 (01:43:55):
Until Indiana blew them out, and then they couldn't keep
up with Ohio State either. So I think Illinois, do
you think?

Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
Like? Do you like they couldn't keep up? But they
made it a game, you know, yeah in Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (01:44:07):
It's trying to say, I don't know what to make
of them. I feel like I feel like Notre Dame
wins this game by just throttling USC. I don't think
you're gonna see a shootout between these two teams. I
think you're gonna see.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
Is it Lincoln Riley? Yeah, Lincoln, uh yeah, I think
Lencoln Riley's gonna go in his bag of tricks and
we're gonna see some trick plays, and we're gonna see
some high scoring, like at least in the thirties. Now,
I don't I don't see. I'm not predicting like a
fifty burger or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
You want to guess the trend on this one, what
the spread is it's at It's in South Bend at
Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 (01:44:46):
Oh so they're gonna get six and a half points.

Speaker 2 (01:44:48):
So it opened at seven and a half. But people
have bet it all the way up to Notre Dame
minus nine and a half. There's so much money that's
come in on the eye Irish.

Speaker 1 (01:45:01):
I think people just bet the Irish because of Rudy.

Speaker 2 (01:45:05):
I think I think it definitely helps when you're looking
at a betting slip, it's a name, it's a name,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:45:11):
Yeah, that's hate for California.

Speaker 2 (01:45:14):
Yeah, I also love the That's kind of a underrated
rivalry too. Like we've seen some awesome games between you know,
this is pretty sure. This is the We got the
Bush push during this game when Lioner pushed Reggie Bush
into the end zone. We've seen what was a Jimmy

(01:45:35):
was Jimmy Clawson lit up the USC defense for a
big game in this rivalry back when.

Speaker 1 (01:45:43):
It was the old catfish guy.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
Yeah, man Titale t tayl. They had a big win
over USC that year. I think that was a big
part of his heisman charge.

Speaker 1 (01:45:54):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:45:56):
It's a game that sneakily gives you some historic moments
and it's aesthetically one of the prettiest matchups you can
get with the USC Trash Classic. You know what do
they call it. It's not Crimson but whatever. Scarlet and yeah,
go old scarlet and yellow and then yeah, it's going

(01:46:17):
to be the only bad thing about it is you
have to listen to Jason Garrett do play by play
on this game. I'm pretty sure because yeah, because he's
doing the Irish games. Yeah that uh I six thirty.
That's probably I'll probably be watching it. But the only
other one that might steal some attention is the Holy

(01:46:37):
War out there in Utah. We've got five and one
Utah taken on undefeated BYU.

Speaker 1 (01:46:44):
This game.

Speaker 2 (01:46:46):
These teams hate each other. This is this is like.

Speaker 1 (01:46:52):
Is Joseph Smith versus Brigham Young Exactly?

Speaker 2 (01:46:55):
Well, well, sorry, people out there, they're both that's they're
both on the b YU sideline. The Utah sideline is
your you know, gold panhandlers and outlaws, and you're the
one who exactly the people that hate Mormons because of
b YU, because of Brigham Young. This is as they.

Speaker 1 (01:47:15):
Were very ruthless gang.

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
Well, you got to to consolidate power if you want
to control the whole state and make everyone been to
your religious desires and limit everybody's ability to have fun.
Almost as almost almost, we're still hunting. We're still hunting
for that leader. We've captured, we've captured his wife. We're

(01:47:40):
getting we're getting close to the head of the snake there.
I I mean, the longer b YU goes undefeated, the
more nervous I get that they end up stealing a
playoff spot. So I would really really like to see
Utah win the Holy War. Speaking of religious based rivalries rivalries,
we also have the revivalry TCU and Baylor this week.

(01:48:06):
So we've got a couple of religious based a couple
of religious based matchup conference matchups in the Big twelve.
The only other game I had for you written down
is the number twelve Georgia Tech.

Speaker 1 (01:48:23):
Interesting still undefeated, still.

Speaker 2 (01:48:25):
Undefeated, and similar to BYU. Clearly the AP voters don't
feel the same way about their undefeated record as they
do some other teams around them, and in the polls
traveling to Durham taking on a foreign two duke who

(01:48:47):
not a whole lot to write home about. The four
wins are soft, the ACC is soft. But Georgia Tech's
another team like BYU. I'd like to see them get
a loss here pretty quick because I don't know the.

Speaker 1 (01:48:59):
Longer like long there, Texas doesn't move up the boards.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
That's right, They're holding them, holding a spot that needs
to be occupied by someone else in my opinion, so.

Speaker 1 (01:49:11):
Maybe my like, please don't in the playoffs, beloved.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
I mean, look, Haynes King, Texas kid longview zone. I
I just I would rather not see Georgia Tech in
one of those twelve slots in the playoffs. Speaking of Texas,
you mentioned Texas at Kentucky Tech has another one of
their big tests, but the word is they might Arizona

(01:49:37):
State might have their third string quarterback playing in this
game because they're still injury concerned with the starter with
what's his name Lovett, and then the backup actually got
hurt Jeff Simms as well, so Tech hopefully shirt. Yeah.

(01:49:58):
The good thing is now they don't play four games
plus any Bowl games or playoff games and they can
still red shirt. Yeah Tech seven and a half point
favorites on the road, three o'clock kickoff out in Arizona State,
and then lastly, here in our own backyard, the greatness
of Uncle Andy will be calling UTSA at un T

(01:50:24):
A un T coming off the absolute ass thrasholds. Yeah, yeah,
exactly like we were talking Tuesday night. I mean, these
there is. The animosity between these two teams is real.
It is not fabricated. It should be.

Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
Easy to come with after getting just worked sixty.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
But yeah, especially on national TV with the sellout crowd
their record attendance night. Ever, un T only three and
a half point favorites at home.

Speaker 1 (01:50:57):
Wow, because the UTSA had a.

Speaker 2 (01:50:59):
Show in UTSA right now should be realistically should be
five and one. They they should have beaten Temple. You
can argue they should have beaten Texas State. You know,
really at worst should be fourign two at best should
be you know, five and one. The only game they
realistically deserved to lose or flat out lose was the

(01:51:24):
A and M game, the opener. But outside of that,
you lose by one touchdown to Texas State, You lose
by six points to Temple. Should should be a closer,
should be closer in the standings to U n T
than they are. But all together, that's right, All together,
a nice week of football on the docket. We'll see

(01:51:47):
how our picks do.

Speaker 1 (01:51:49):
Give a shout out, super chat Royce. Things for the
two dollars come on al spurs.

Speaker 2 (01:51:57):
Our dreams of an undefeated season, I fear are out
the window. I saw the Stars ended up. Yeah, I
think that's how I think they got a third. Make
it a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (01:52:11):
Oh, do I have to give you all the crap?
How many people are going to be above the stars?
Let me can give you my hockey knowledge here. Got
the Blackhawks? Is that one of them?

Speaker 2 (01:52:25):
They do play hockey in a Midwest city, not you
really know, but Rangers, they do play hockey in the
biggest city in America. The Penguins also North American hockey team.
You're on a roll here. The Ducks, Yeah, still still
are around. Haven't contracted the Avalanche? The Panthers, Yes, the

(01:52:50):
repeat two time champions Florida Panthers.

Speaker 1 (01:52:53):
The Knights, I know the Knights.

Speaker 2 (01:52:56):
I'll give you partial credit for that. It is the
Las Vegas Golden Nights, Goldies. It's partial credit. You get
half for that.

Speaker 1 (01:53:08):
Winnipeg Day, Vancouver.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
Okay, now you're just now you're just naming Canadian cities.
With that being the case, let's let's get to the
Lightning Round because.

Speaker 1 (01:53:21):
Their mascots are.

Speaker 2 (01:53:24):
You're just doing a geography lesson right now on Canadian geography.

and just put it all under Disney Plus at some
point in the future. So yeah, get get your streaming
schedule prepared because you will need five different six technically
six different bar.

Speaker 1 (01:54:44):
The bar is gonna have to buy all these streaming sites.

Speaker 2 (01:54:47):
Those are the people I seriously, like, genuinely feel bad
for because I've seen it happen. My buddy Trevor manages
the bar and one of the bars in the neighborhood,
and he'll have five people come up to asking him
to put it on. They have all the TVs in
the world, but he has to load up five different
streaming TV.

Speaker 1 (01:55:06):
Diff what we used to bitch about way back in
the day, the Longhorn Network. Yes, that was the only
thing we were like, we got to get the Longhorn Network.
So ridiculous. So far removed from.

Speaker 2 (01:55:20):
That being an issue, so.

Speaker 1 (01:55:22):
Far, all right, hit me LG all right, if you
want to cueue up my picks.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
In the spirit of the holiday, the Halloween people have
been very creative with their lawn art and not one
state in particular, and maybe city, I don't know which city,
is in I don't know if it's Charlotte or not,
but it is.

Speaker 1 (01:55:44):
North Carolina is going above and beyond with their Halloween decorations.
Can I interest you in some billeck?

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
Oh good, Okay, this is spectacular.

Speaker 1 (01:56:00):
Yes, that is a recreation and here we go. Can
I just you in a second one?

Speaker 2 (01:56:07):
Okay, that's gonna be tough to be. That one's gonna
be really tough to be. They even got the correct
boots and skirt, like it's full identical match matching outfit.

Speaker 1 (01:56:19):
In the second one, an actual photo of them all
that the ocean.

Speaker 2 (01:56:27):
This has got This has got to be a State fan.
This is an State fan. Yeah, that's trolling because you've
already heard that he's mad that a guy leaked out
that he was like she cannot be on the field
during practices. Yeah, and like that whole that whole situation
is a debacle already. I mean the reports that he was.

Speaker 1 (01:56:52):
About the interview where she's like over there being like
cut that cut that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:57):
We're not gonna talk about that, We're not gonna talk
We're not gonna talk about that.

Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:57:01):
I was really hoping they would do that in season
Hulu series because that would have been must watch hit me.

Speaker 1 (01:57:09):
LG mentioned the.

Speaker 2 (01:57:14):
Talking some job openings potentially, who could be in line
for some of these blue blood programs that are going
to be looking for a new head coach. Kurt Signetti
will not be one of those. Oh wow, he at
Indiana signed a new eight year, ninety three million dollar contract.

Speaker 1 (01:57:34):
I heard that right before I came in here.

Speaker 2 (01:57:35):
The University of Indiana is handing out ninety three million
dollars fully guaranteed contracts, not to their basketball coach, to
their football coach.

Speaker 1 (01:57:45):
And that blows my mind. It's no where the money's at.

Speaker 2 (01:57:49):
Yeah, it bumps him from eight and a half mill
a year up to eleven and a half mil. I
think his buyout is uh is not. It got bumped
up significantly as well, of course with all the money
being guaranteed. But it just shows you like the Big
ten and the sec the television money they're getting and

(01:58:12):
splitting amongst themselves. That's the reason Indiana can immediately.

Speaker 1 (01:58:18):
Become a contender exactly. And they like this the coach
he's coaching. I mean, I feel that guy's got I
think he's got an NFL future, And you know, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:58:31):
He's well, so here's the deal. He's sixty three years old,
so this eight year contract that he's signed now takes
him into his seventies.

Speaker 1 (01:58:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
I don't think he's jumping I don't think he's jumping
anywhere at this point. I mean, I think you're if
you're signing that, if you're signing that eight year deal,
you're probably doing it to stay in Indiana the rest
of your career, I would assume elsewhere. I did have
one other for you. Did you see the Celtics coaching

(01:59:01):
staff what they made the local beat writers and media members?

Speaker 1 (01:59:05):
Do oh sign something in blood?

Speaker 2 (01:59:08):
No? Basically they might have drawn blood because they made
them play pick up basketball against the coaching staff. So
the media members apparently each year they they have a game,
a pickup game amongst themselves at the Celtics facilities. They

(01:59:28):
end up just playing, you know, media members versus media members. Well,
this year, old Joe Missoula decided the coaching staff will
be playing the media. They played like a I think
it was a fifteen minute game. Maybe it was only ten.
The final score fifty seven to four. Coaches coaches, yes,

(01:59:54):
because they know how to do a pick and roll
and they know how to run off. They're also at
minimum former college basketball players who are still in the Celtics.
So what it was it was? It was it was
basically where a rebound fell right to a guy and
he just immediately made a layup. Just get it up

(02:00:15):
before he gets swatted right.

Speaker 1 (02:00:17):
Hit me, LG. There is a prospect that's sixteen years
old that is making headlines what sport baseball? Oh okay,
some baseball. This kid is sixteen years old. He's going,
uh his name is what you would call his name

(02:00:42):
is Striker Pence. He has a well, he's a he's
a nephew of Hunter Hunter Pins okay, and he is
throwing at sixteen Guess how much how fast he's throwing?

Speaker 2 (02:00:57):
I mean, I feel like the magical number is a hunt.
It's got a north of one hundred? Yeah, how far?
Like are we talking like freak?

Speaker 1 (02:01:06):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (02:01:07):
Time out?

Speaker 1 (02:01:07):
Is this? Like the is that too much? North of
one hundred? He's throwing one hundred and one point like
it's I think they clocked one hundred and one point six.

Speaker 2 (02:01:14):
Okay, I thought you were gonna tell me this was
like the old Sports Illustrated April Fools bit they did
in the seventies where it was this indigenous teenager who
had he was throwing one hundred and thirteen miles per
hour and he was six foot ten and.

Speaker 1 (02:01:31):
Like the kid, I mean, he's got the long hair,
he's got the look, he's lanky, and but no one
has seen this kind of velocity out of a sixteen
year old, like, yeah, he's fresh off of college World's
like Little League World Series.

Speaker 2 (02:01:45):
There's some level of concern, like what does that do
to your arm?

Speaker 1 (02:01:49):
I mean, well, if you get if you start doing
the high leg kick and stuff, you know Dantel Willis style,
and I love the old d train, you know, Ce Sabathia.

Speaker 2 (02:02:01):
Don't take that out of consultant, don't clip that for
any purpose whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (02:02:06):
He loves that detail. But this kid is throwing one
hundred and one and he is still growing, still getting stronger.
And the only thing it's not the fastball that gets
you is the breaking balls.

Speaker 2 (02:02:20):
Yeah, that's the I mean, the one hundred and one
mileth per hour will get you places. But having that
such that's.

Speaker 1 (02:02:26):
What's going to Oh yeah, oh so it's like, I mean,
keep throwing that heater kid, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:02:31):
Yeah, I would especially, I mean he's sixteen years old.
There's no way the competition he's going up against can
handle that.

Speaker 1 (02:02:38):
Like I would be scared out of my Like if
you put it like fifteen year old me going on
varsity baseball up against a kid that's throwing one hundred
and one, I'd just be.

Speaker 2 (02:02:49):
Like, dude, there was a kid in our district that
was throwing like low eighties and it terrified me. Yeah,
that is as like if I want.

Speaker 1 (02:02:58):
To go to like you, oh, is it like you
bat out there? They have like one where you can
get seventy eighty miles an hour just hearing the sound
of it pop off the back of the thing. And
this imagine the MIT because the MIT like if you
hit that sweet spot in that minute, it's.

Speaker 2 (02:03:11):
Like have you ever done one of those simulators that
they used to have it at like all of the
remember when it was the ESPN Zone. It was like
the sports arcade kind of deal. They had the simulator
where it was the visual the video of you picked
whatever picture you wanted, yeah, and then you're standing it's
just a batting cage in the batter's box. And I

(02:03:32):
did it one time and I picked Randy Johnson. It
was unreal, how terrible, terrifying.

Speaker 1 (02:03:43):
I would not want to be a right hander batting
against old Randy. No hit me, LG.

Speaker 2 (02:03:51):
While something else we didn't hit on Tuesday. I know
you've got a video for the next one, so I'll
knock this one out before we get out.

Speaker 1 (02:03:59):
Oh that was it for me?

Speaker 2 (02:04:01):
Oh well, then let's were you not? Did you not
send a.

Speaker 1 (02:04:05):
Oh yo, you're gonna yeah, you want to do that? Here? Yeah?
That here? You have that LG forgot you.

Speaker 2 (02:04:13):
We might be we might be loading up l G
too much having a video back to back.

Speaker 1 (02:04:19):
When we go over two hours, he gets a little grumpy.

Speaker 2 (02:04:21):
The religious based video that CAP actually added. Now, granted
you sent the link to the text chain, you could
have just d med it too.

Speaker 1 (02:04:35):
I don't know what it's.

Speaker 2 (02:04:36):
Yeah, you could have just DMed it to LG. The
the Pope had a little bit of fun at the
expense of Cubs fans as he was traveling through.

Speaker 1 (02:04:47):
The Latin.

Speaker 2 (02:04:59):
So if you didn't catch it there, quew it up
one more time, LG.

Speaker 1 (02:05:04):
There's a there's a rowdy Chicago and yelling gokbs. First,
he tells him in Spanish, they lost, and then he
tells them in English. Make sure.

Speaker 2 (02:05:14):
The fact that the leader of Catholicism literally was sitting
in the stands at Chicago White Sox games in his lifetime, Man,
that is like that kind of blows my mind. The

(02:05:34):
more like he's literally, like.

Speaker 1 (02:05:36):
In the first American born Pope.

Speaker 2 (02:05:38):
Cracking jokes about the Cubs because he's a White Sox fan,
and not not just because it's fun to crack like, no,
because he die hard loves the White Sox. Like it's
that is hilarious to me. He might convert me, who knows,
give it time. Let's might not go to hell. Man,
consider myself a man of faith. All right, Well, then

(02:05:59):
LG hit me more time and we'll get out of here.
Since we are at that two hour mark on this
day in two thousand and six, we had an NFL
coach deliver an all time postgame press conference. And now,
remember think about it.

Speaker 1 (02:06:18):
Two thousand and six is not Samurai Mike.

Speaker 2 (02:06:20):
We're only in We're only in what week seven of
the NFL season right now? Yeah, oh yeah, so we're
you're talking. It's the first You're not even at the
halfway point of the year.

Speaker 1 (02:06:32):
Was he playing.

Speaker 2 (02:06:32):
Was he coaching the Chiefs at the time, Nope, he
was coaching Charger. He was coaching the Arizona Cardinals. Actually,
I believe at the time they might have still even
been the Phoenix Cardinals. Oh maybe when did that move over?
Now I'm referring two thousand to the greatness that is

(02:06:54):
Dennis Green, who you'll listen to some of the names
that will snap you back into a time capsule when you.

Speaker 1 (02:07:02):
Hear what the what opposing.

Speaker 2 (02:07:04):
Quarterback he's talking about getting beat by the Chicago Bears.
Listen to the quarterback that has got him this riled up.

Speaker 1 (02:07:11):
Four picks against Grossman and two fumbels. What do you
see about the Bears shut them down that way?

Speaker 3 (02:07:16):
Now?

Speaker 1 (02:07:16):
We you know what I mean? We just let's wait.
The Bears are what we thought they were? What what?
What did what we thought they were? We played them
in preseason?

Speaker 2 (02:07:24):
Who the hell takes a third game in the preseason
like a book?

Speaker 1 (02:07:28):
We played them in the third game.

Speaker 2 (02:07:29):
Everybody played three quarters their Bears or who we thought
they were.

Speaker 1 (02:07:34):
That's why we took the damn field. Now, if you
want to crown them, they crown their crown their But
they are who we thought that way they were and
we got about the hook.

Speaker 2 (02:07:46):
Thanks coach, Thanks coach.

Speaker 1 (02:07:49):
Who wants to follow up back? All the beat reporters
are like, I'm not following up back. They are who
we thought they were. If you want to crown the ass.

Speaker 2 (02:08:00):
Thanks coach. It's always great when you hear the timid
reporter pr guy as a as a coach is dropping
an old time quote like that.

Speaker 1 (02:08:10):
It's like the Gandhi was, Yeah, that was a Gundy one. Like,
so Gandy, what what was that twenty was that twenty
year anniversary? So this was two thousand and six, was
six nineteen years ago? He took some of Gundy's fire
right there, because Gundhi did that before him.

Speaker 2 (02:08:26):
Okay, no, Gandhy it was the eighteen year anniversary he
did that and this one was first. Yeah, Gundy took
his also, correct the record, they were the Phoenix Cardinals
from eighty eight to ninety three.

Speaker 1 (02:08:40):
Yeah. I was like, I was like, I was like,
