Here we are back again for another wonderful episode of Chirping from the Pine.
(00:29):
I'm Josh and I'm here today with Adam.
I have a question.
Okay.
So for the theme song, is it possible to not have the voices in the background?
What do you mean?
Because there's voices in the background that go, oh, or some bullshit.
Is it possible to take that out?
Did you make this one?
No, I didn't make this one.
This was a fucking stock from Envato Elements.
(00:50):
Fuck.
I mean, I could make a song that's fucking similar.
Damn, we need a Sheik Iron Sheik.
Fucking bullshit.
We have one right here.
Is it really?
Yeah.
Fucking bullshit.
Good to know.
Yeah, we do have that one.
(01:10):
So yeah, so anyways, welcome to Chirping from the Pine.
Today we're going to talk about Tommy John surgery being so fucking prevalent apparently
in goddamn MLB and do a little bit of more gloating on the Olympics because fuck all
the other countries, America is number fucking one.
Oh, that wasn't what I was going to talk about, but sure, why not?
We'll throw that in there while we're at it.
Jerk America off.
(01:30):

Anyways, I will say to start off, man, when you said that thing about getting a Miguel's
(02:14):
burrito, I was like, damn, that does sound fucking good.
And I am fucking pissed that they are not open this late.
Yeah, I don't understand what before we hop into the sports, man.
I miss pre pandemic days when everything was open for pretty much until 12 o'clock or some
restaurants were even open 24 hours and ever since then, it's just been closed at 10 or
(02:38):
nine.
Surprisingly, Chipotle is now extending their hours till 1130 or so.
God damn, that's pretty good.
But still, fuck man, like Miguel's, you need to get your shit together.
All right.
If you're a yellow local business of the same city, you're fucking up.
All right.
We're putting you on notice.
If you want to become a sponsor of the hottest fucking podcast network on the planet, Game
(03:03):
Rage magazine podcast network, getting sponsored by fucking Miguel's, that would be the tit.
I would be eating every fucking episode.
I don't think we'd be eating anything but Miguel's.
We would be literally eating bean and cheese burritos and fucking garbage burritos and
nachos and cheese.
We'd be eating cheesecakes and the oh my God, everything off the fucking menu.
(03:23):
Of course.
Like how could we?
How could we not do that?
Oh yeah, we would be super fucking fat for sure.
But yeah, Miguel's, you're fucking up.
We need some late night fucking because where can we get late night Mexican food around
here?
(03:43):
Nowhere.
I mean, that's good.
I think you got to go somewhere else for that because I don't know.
There's a bunch of like small like there's that Castaneda's place, but I don't know if
that place is any fucking good and I don't even want to bother trying.
Yeah.
And there's also, I will say there are guys over there on surface club that they've popped
(04:04):
up one of those little fucking things and they they're standing out there.
We drove by him last night.
We went in and out and I was like, oh man, maybe we should get all the time.
They were there last night.
So wait, you talking about over by surface club, like right by the freeway, by the gas
station right there.
And I must have told those guys to fuck off because apparently there was these guys that
were standing across or standing in front of the A.M.P.M. that's right next door to
(04:25):
the in and out.
And they were parking themselves.
They're just selling like tacos.
Yeah.
And then they must have told them to fuck off.
Yeah.
They must have moved there or whatever.
I don't know if the same guy's not, but yeah, they I was like, fuck it.
And also just off the freeway, there's people parking themselves off the exit over by cart
of that, because they're smart enough, they're like, yeah, we're just off the freeway.
(04:49):
Like you literally just have to pull off to the side and get your fucking tacos or burritos.
Yeah, I would actually be curious to try some of that.
Yeah, me too.
Maybe we should try one of those places.
I would rather go.
I don't know why, but I automatically think anybody that just sends up a tent or a canopy
to sell, sell tacos is going to be better than this fucking Casanovas.
You're probably right.
I don't know.
(05:09):
You're probably right.
But anyways, all right, let's get down to business.
You want to talk about UCL injuries or whatever.
I thought you were going to talk about the NFL.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
You actually what is the rule with the written rule?
So the written rule is both teams line up within 10 yards of each other.
(05:32):
And I think it was on them.
Yeah, okay.
So is it the 50 yard line and everybody has 10 yards between?
No, it's yeah, like, well, one of them's on the 40 on the 40 of one of them's on the
50 or one of them on the 50 in the 40.
Let me let me see because they're within like 10 yards of each other.
They're like they're like right on each other.
OK, NFL.
Let me just let me just read the things.
(05:52):
So it's 45 yard line between the both of them or?
Yeah.
Oh, here it is.
The explainer.
Here we go.
Let's just read this real quick because it's it's it is fucking confusing if you really
fucking think about it.
So the ball is now the ball is on the 35 yard line, which is the same as it currently is.
Those the spotting of the ball is the same as it is now.
(06:16):
So the alignment, this is where it gets different.
So all kicking team players other than the kicker will line up with one foot on the receiving
team's 40 yard line.
Wait, what?
So all kicking players will be on the 40 yard line of the receiving teams.
They're receiving their 40 yard line.
(06:38):
So all kicking team players other than the kicker will line up with one foot on the receiving
teams.
So they're B 40.
So that's on like their 40 yard line.
Why?
OK, and then because so there's a five yard area from that B 35 to B 30 where at least
(07:01):
nine receiving team players must line up.
So they're actually within five yards of each other.
So they're from the B 40 to the B 35 line.
OK, OK.
And then seven players have to have one foot on the B 35 yard line.
OK, players not on the restraining line must be lined up in the set up zone, which is outside
(07:24):
these the hash marks that they put.
OK, and then people that are anyone that's in the set up zone cannot move until the kick
hits the ground or the player in the landing zone or the end zone catches it.
OK, to return you can have two returners line up in the landing zone and they can move whenever
(07:46):
the fuck they want.
They can do whatever they want.
OK, so the landing zone is the area between blah, blah, blah, you know, the 20 yard line
and their goal line.
Any kick that hits short of the landing zone is counted as out of bounds and is spotted
at that B 40 yard line of play.
So any kick that hits in the landing zone must be returned.
(08:09):
So you have to you have to return it.
Any kick that hits in the landing zone and then goes into the end zone must be returned
or downed by the receiving team.
If downed, then the touchback takes it to the 20 yard line as is the normal rule.
OK.
So if the kick hits in the end zone and then stays in bounds, it needs to be returned or
(08:31):
downed.
And if it's downed in the end zone, you get to go up to the 30 yard line for the touchback
for the for the ball spotted at the 30 yard line instead of the 20.
So if you catch a ball in the end zone and down it, you get an extra 10 yards as opposed
to just downing it fucking if it just went out or whatever.
So any kick that goes out the back of the end zone is automatically to the 30 yard line.
(08:59):
So now they've removed the incentive to kick the ball out to the end zone to just kick
it through the uprights basically.
So now you want to kick the ball.
It's like this is going to take more of a skill contest now because you're basically
going to want to put the ball between the 35 yard line and like the one yard line.
(09:20):
Yeah.
So like now you want to put the ball there and not have it go over because now you're
going and then no one can move until the ball either hits the ground or someone touches
it.
So they're all going to be standing there staring at each other, which they have.
I've been seeing it in preseason.
They just stand there and fucking look at each other.
They're waiting.
Then all of a sudden someone either catches it or the ball hits the ground and then they
(09:42):
go, they're just fucking fighting.
And then this dude is able to basically just run up to the fucking 35 yard line.
And also now here's the other thing too.
If that guy squirts past, you remember how like, oh, the kicker can fucking come after
and like take them out, right?
If that guy squirts past everybody through to and gets to the, the kicker can't touch
the dude until he passes the 50 yard line.
(10:05):
So if you squirt past everybody, you've got a free pass until the 50 yard line that, that
the kicker is not going to be able to, he's the furthest guy back.
He ain't going to be able to do shit to you.
But once you pass that 50 yard line, then all bets are off.
He can fucking tackle you or do whatever, kick you in the nuts, whatever the fuck he's
got to do to keep you from scoring.
It is the dumbest fucking thing.
(10:25):
Why do that?
And why not just have, why not just have the kickoff of the opposing team?
Oh, why don't they scale it back to the 25 yard line?
Because nobody's going to kick it more than fucking 80 or a hundred yards or whatever.
And it's probably going to end up in the back end of the other teams, uh, the bad, their,
(10:49):
their yardage or whatever.
So why don't just move it back and make it harder for the other teams, the team that's
kicking off, just move the line back further so that we don't end up getting these end
zone, you know, these kickoffs that end up in the back of the end zone.
Also onside kicks are basically gone.
No.
The only way you can do an onside kick now is at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
(11:13):
If you are the team that is losing, you can declare on your first kickoff, Hey, we're
going to do an onside kick.
But, okay.
So you're letting everybody know you're going to do it.
And then after that, the current onside kickoff rules would apply, but that's the only time
you can actually do an onside kick according to that's horseshoe.
(11:34):
You should do whatever.
Yeah, it's not.
The only thing is penalties are basically the same.
The setup zone never changes.
Any penalty that's applied during the kickoff or anything like that will be added on or
taken from wherever the ball spotted at.
(11:55):
So what happened with onside?
What happened with punts?
Any with punts?
No, this is only for kickoffs.
So punting has basically stayed the same from what I have been able to survive and see anything
about it.
They did make some other rule changes.
They make it so hard for like, well, not only is this rule convoluted or shit for the kickoff,
(12:20):
but they're also not letting fucking defensive players just fucking touch dudes.
Right.
And here's the other thing.
It doesn't even make any sense because like, okay, in the MLB, right?
When you have the dynamic, or not the dynamic pitch rule, but when you have the pitch clock.
Yeah.
And I think it was all up in arms about that and they were like, oh, this is going to be
so stupid, blah, blah, blah.
I will say that is a rule change that actually benefited the game.
Makes the game go by faster.
(12:43):
It increases the play.
I think it has helped the game of baseball.
I think they extended by like 10 seconds.
So apparently, it's a little short.
I don't know if they can find the exact correlation between guys getting UCL tears and pitch clock
itself.
But if they do end up finding the connection between the two, and maybe they need to extend
(13:04):
the time so that it's not just dudes throwing 105 miles an hour nonstop to the point that
they fuck up their arm.
Like, yeah, maybe that's something that's worth looking into for that.
But talking about this rule, man, this one makes no fucking sense.
I barely understand what the fuck is going on.
I just know that between the 35 yard line and the one yard marker, pretty much towards
(13:27):
the end, the end zone, that that's the sweet spot.
And if you do anything else, there's penalty.
Yep.
If you do anything else, you get fucked.
Yeah, that's basically it.
And I know somebody is going to find the loopholes of how to make these rules in favor of them
for both sides, for both the offense and the team kicking off, or rather the receiving
team and the kickoff team.
But I don't know, man.
(13:50):
I'm going to have to see this shit visually and see if it makes the game worse, because
I know they're trying to make the kickoff something.
It's kind of like the hole in the game that's in television wise that we just get people
downing the ball or the kickers end up kicking it too deep or whatever.
But I don't know if this is actually any better.
(14:11):
Yeah, I don't think it is, to be honest with you.
The other rule change that they made was also that player positions, certain positions can
now have more numbers to choose from when they when they're picking their fucking number,
which gives a shit.
Oh, Ray.
I will say I thought it was funny that like I didn't really even know this offensive lineman
and defensive lineman are the only people on the field that could potentially have the
(14:32):
number 69.
So they haven't had they haven't had 100 yet.
And so with the number, I triple digit number, I can't wait.
I mean, that would be the best.
I mean, also, I mean, you can have zero.
I mean, you know, it's funny is.
Quarterbacks used to be one through 19.
Now it's zero.
(14:53):
And they added zero to the mix, like who fucking game change?
Who was asking for that game changing, bro?
You just don't know, man.
Like shit, actually, before it looks like no one could be zero.
But now they're all fucking added.
Now everybody can be zero if they wanted to, except for lineman offensive and defensive
lineman have to choose offensive lineman can be 50 to 79.
And the defensive lineman can be that plus 90 to 99.
(15:16):
So that's fucking crazy.
I would be either an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman just so I could be pick
69 and be like, that's what I want to go fuck yourselves.
So shit, I was going to say if somebody could spell boobs on the defense defense, eight
zero zero eight.
But I don't think it's possible with defense because the defensive backs.
Well, actually, what do the linebackers get?
(15:38):
No, they can't be because one would have to be 80 and one would have to be zero eight.
Yeah.
So it's impossible.
Wait.
Yeah, you can't because it wouldn't work.
It wouldn't work.
Fuck.
So many missed opportunities.
Yeah.
Shit, man.
I'm finding less reason to watch the NFL.
Yeah.
Now I'm starting to get a little pissed off.
Now I'm starting to be like, well, and then they have this new like, I mean, listen, I
(16:00):
know they're implementing safety measures and shit and all that, but there's like this
new like weird fucking helmet thing that they got for practice.
Yeah.
Like it's the I think I've seen the safety.
I was watching the hard knocks thing with they're doing.
God, who the fuck is it right now?
It was the New York Giants.
Yeah, it was a giant.
It was a giant.
(16:21):
Or is it Chicago?
No, it's the Bears because the Giants were the preseason one or the the one that was
the mid.
Yeah.
No, the Giants were like the mid year.
Oh, what they're doing to they're doing to see.
Yeah, they did.
They did the Giants like a few weeks ago.
And then now this is the proper official one is the is the Bears.
Oh, shit.
And then there will be a mid season team, which I don't know if they've even announced
to that fucking is yet trying to get more content.
(16:43):
Oh, they're they're working hard milking it.
Oh, it was off season.
It was it's hard knocks off season now.
So it was off season with the New York Giants.
That was what it was, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was it was it was that hard knocks off season with the Giants.
Now it's hard knocks proper with.
The Bears like the proper because they weren't doing it was just the preseason bullshit.
(17:04):
That was hard knocks.
Yeah, that was hard knocks.
Proper proper.
Yeah.
OK, so in 2024, they will have a bunch of teams.
They're having the Steelers, the Ravens, the Bengals, the Browns, the Giants and the Bears
in 2024.
So what is this on HBO or Max?
I mean, I have that so I can just well, you know, never mind.
(17:27):
We'll take you in.
You just watch it here, Adam, officially.
You know, this is what you can do.
You just watch it with me.
We can watch together and hold hands and eat popcorn and, you know, do all that good stuff.
Yeah, some of those.
I mean, some of them are good.
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't watched a whole ton of them, but some of the the Houston Texans when I think
it was like seven years ago or whatever, they had a well, he used to be part of the Patriots,
(17:48):
Vince Wilfork.
Oh, yeah.
And these guys basically prank this guy to to show up in like farmers attire.
So he came in with fucking denim overalls and he was he was he didn't have fucking underwear.
So I don't know.
It's just like dumb shit like that.
That makes it interesting.
But I actually haven't seen more of the current ones.
(18:10):
Yeah, so last year, the I watched the I think the midseason one was the fucking Cardinals,
Arizona Cardinals.
That was funny because the coach got fired.
So that was fun.
That's pretty funny.
It was pretty funny.
Maybe maybe I audibly cacked.
Anyways, so, yeah, that's that's the deal with the NFL's fucking new bullshit.
(18:32):
So I just like to say that my my faith in the Raiders, since I am a Raiders fan.
Yeah.
I'm completely destroyed.
I don't have high hopes for this team because I kind of went through the the their schedule
for the season.
Yeah, I think they're going to go fucking.
(18:52):
How many games?
There's 18 games.
So one of them is a bi-week.
17.
Oh, and 17.
I don't think they're going to go oh and 17, but I think they'll definitely go fucking
like seven and fucking seven and 10.
They're not going to beat anybody in their division.
I don't think they'd be KC.
I don't think they beat them.
I don't think they beat the Chargers.
(19:13):
I don't.
I think the wins that they get maybe are from Denver, possibly.
And then everybody else is going to fucking destroy them.
But I think roughly what I came to was they're probably going to end up being a seven and
10 team, which is really sad because they just got this new coach that filled in for
the other guy.
I forgot his fucking name, but he turned the team around.
(19:35):
Yeah.
He was Antonio Pierce, who's the fucking guy.
And I really liked the dude.
It was somebody that was from within their own organization that he was the guy that
ended up having the Raiders beat KC, I think sometime around Christmas or New Year's.
Yeah.
I was like, all right, cool.
This guy looks like he wants the fucking job.
(19:57):
He loves the Raiders.
He remembers them when they were in fucking Compton or Inglewood.
So it's not just the fact that he wants to be a coach.
He loved the franchise before they even got to here in Las Vegas or even Oakland.
So he remembers that shit.
So I was like, all right, cool.
But they're also not helping him in with basically the current roster.
(20:19):
I don't think they fucking do anything this season.
I think they fucking tank on purpose and try to get a first round pick.
And knowing they're retarded ass, I know I said retarded, but fuck it.
Yeah, whatever.
They're probably going to pick something stupid like a tight end like they did this year for
the first pick.
And I think this guy is going to get fired probably next year when he probably didn't
(20:41):
fucking deserve because the Raiders don't know what the fuck they're doing.
So that's my outlook for the Raiders in 2024.
Yeah.
My outlook for the Patriots is basically the same.
I don't think we're going to do very well.
I will say, you know, obviously, I don't know the whole Belichick thing.
Who knows if it was time to get rid of him?
(21:02):
Who knows if they should have let him go?
I barely found out he was gone this year.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, because it's that OJ Mayo.
Yeah, Jared Mayo.
Racist.
No, no, no, because he was a fucking USC player.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyways, no, but you're a male.
Yeah, I mean, I will say I'm glad that they went with Jared Mayo because he's a Patriots
(21:27):
guy.
I mean, he's he's been he played on the team.
He was a linebacker with the fucking team.
He was the linebackers coach since 2019.
He played on the team, I think, for 23rd, no, 2011.
What was it?
Twenty.
Two thousand eight to 2015.
He was on the team.
He was a player.
And then twenty nineteen he came on as the inside linebackers coach.
(21:49):
And then he did that until just now this year in twenty twenty four.
He's now the head coach.
He's been put into the spotlight as the head coach.
I think that the Belichick system works.
I think it just I think Belichick is so old and he did it for so long.
It needed some fresh eyes.
And I feel like he's I feel like if anybody is going to be the guy to do something, it
ain't going to be this year.
(22:10):
I think Jared Mayo has the tools to be able to say, OK, cool, I can take that Belichick
system that worked, apply a new fresh look to it and change it enough to make it different
to where now we're winning again.
Who's even the fucking quarterback for the Patriots?
Well, they have that fucking that shithead.
God damn, I can never remember his fucking name because I hate him so much.
(22:31):
He's so fucking bad.
That Bailey fucking there's him.
That Zappie guy.
Let me just look at the depth charts.
I haven't even been fucking Patriots QB depth chart.
We got fucking.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
They got Jacobi Brissett right now, which it's the depth chart.
(22:53):
Drake May is the other guy and Bailey Zappie.
And then they have a third, the fourth guy, Joe Milton, the third.
I know what that is.
But Jacobi Brissett is looking like we're set.
Whatever Brissett Brissett.
Fuck, fuck off.
He was somebody that was already in the organization.
He was already in the organization.
It was fucking Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo.
(23:14):
Actually, I can't remember if it was Brissett and then Jimmy Garoppolo.
But he was I think he was like the second or third string quarterback when Tom Brady
went away for a hot minute and then he went to the Indianapolis Colts and was the starting
quarterback.
Yeah, 2016.
Yeah, he was he was on the Patriots.
He was like the third string guy.
And then, yeah, he went to Indianapolis for four years and then went to Miami, Cleveland,
(23:36):
Washington.
Now he's back here.
Fucking washed with the Patriots.
I don't know.
I mean, I think New England needs we need to do something.
We need a franchise quarterback.
I don't know if any of these guys are it.
I mean, we got rid of Mac Jones.
So like that's good.
That was the idiot.
I fucking Mac Jones was like supposed to be the new Tom Brady.
(23:57):
Shit the bed.
And that's one thing that's very interesting to me is like with the Chicago Bears deal,
right?
Because I'm hard.
Yeah, they're they're holding this huge standard.
And what's crazy is the dudes who are truly legends in the NFL who become legendary quarterbacks,
none of them were ever first round draft picks for the most part.
(24:17):
They're mostly like unknown guys or they did this or they did that.
I don't think a lot of them were like this dude.
Like there's a lot of pressure on this guy.
And I think it just goes to say that the majority of the time you may be the number one prospect
going into the league.
But once you get there, it's a whole nother fucking thing.
And a lot of guys can't handle it.
And a lot of guys shit the bed and end up being fucking backup quarterbacks, which there's
(24:41):
nothing wrong with that.
But it's just to say with all this fucking pressure on you, you were the number one pick
in the league.
Yeah, it's very ugly.
And you are going to get your shit pushed in.
And I will say the guy who's the head coach of the Bears, I think this dude is doing it
the right way.
He's not like fucking trying to beat his ass.
(25:04):
He's not trying to beat it out of him.
He's trying to be like, all right, cool.
Like let's make little small progressions and let's not worry about everyone else's
expectations because we are also the Chicago Bears.
So like, yeah, they haven't been relevant since the 80s.
You can't turn a team around with a number one draft pick in a single season.
So like, let's temper our expectations and say, hey, why don't this year we try to shoot
(25:25):
for 500?
Let's make that our goal.
We're going to.
And that's not that he's been saying that.
But I think that's how they're kind of approaching it is let's shoot for 500 this year.
Oh, cool.
We do 500 or better.
Hey, next year, maybe let's look at trying to do playoff contention.
And then if we get to the playoffs, cool, maybe let's look at, you know, making it to
what are they in the AFC?
Let's make it look at it.
Let's maybe get into an AFC championship game.
OK, cool.
(25:46):
We get there.
Hey, maybe next year.
I think this is a five year turnaround for them, maybe of potentially within the next
five to six years appearing in an AFC championship or like a champ, a conference championship
game.
I don't know about a Super Bowl, but I think that they have the tools to do it based on
what I've seen.
Patriots.
This is going to be a fucking complete rebranding.
This is going to need to be a complete fucking overhaul.
(26:07):
I don't think they can anybody in their own their own division, which is no, the Bills,
the Jets and the Dolphins.
Those three teams are I mean, listen, the Jets or whatever.
But like the Bills, the Bills have been great the last fucking three or four years.
So the Miami Dolphins and you know, we go 50 50 with the Jets because we play them usually
twice a year.
We usually win one and they win one now.
(26:28):
That's how it's been going.
I don't know if this year we're going to win one.
I think we might go against them.
Yeah, so I think we might go into on the fucking.
So they're not winning anything for no, I know we are going to be.
I think we're going to go three and 14 this year.
I think that's probably about what we're looking at.
Maybe maybe enough to fucking find out.
Start looking at quarterbacks in college right now to see if they're going to find a franchise
(26:52):
quarterback.
I think that's what they're going to.
I think they're going to do the Raider route and try to get the worst record so they can
fucking get the first round pick.
But they have a legitimate reason, though, of why they should fucking lose because of
the fucking Las Vegas Raiders.
And I don't expect much of them from within their own division beating anybody other than
maybe the Denver Broncos, because I know the fucking Casey Chiefs are going to fucking
steamroll them.
(27:12):
And everybody in the AFC is at least.
Shit, I would have to check out all the teams for the AFC.
Well, I had the schedule, their schedule.
I mean, I'll fucking pull it up real quick just to tell you where they're.
So we can we can go game by game.
You can do it with the Patriots of where you think they're going.
(27:33):
Oh, yeah.
All right.
That's a good idea.
All right.
Pull it up right now.
Twenty twenty four Patriots schedule.
I mean, God, we're already fucking up.
I mean, Jesus Christ, it's not good.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's see.
That was twenty three.
Where the fuck's preseason here it is.
Yeah, I mean, wait, that's twenty two.
(27:56):
Why the fuck am I in?
All right, I got the Raiders schedule.
All right, go for it.
Game one Chargers lost.
Wow.
Game two Ravens lost.
Oh, yeah.
Mark Jackson.
And I forgot who else they brought in for.
I think they brought they brought in a running back.
I don't have to look that up later, but guaranteed fucking loss.
I think the Raiders lose Panthers.
(28:18):
I actually don't know too much about the Panthers to say whether
whether they're good or not.
But I think if there was a game that the Raiders could take, it'd probably be the Panthers
because I don't even think they're in the conversation of being a good team.
Yeah.
Browns.
I think they fucking lose that.
So right now we're sitting at one in three record Raiders versus Broncos again.
(28:44):
I think they take that one.
So now they're two and three Steelers two for four or two and four.
That's another loss.
Raiders versus Rams two and five.
Raiders versus Bengals two and six.
Raiders versus Dolphins two and seven.
Broncos versus Raiders three and seven.
(29:08):
Raiders versus Chiefs three and eight.
Raiders versus Buccaneers three and nine.
Falcons and Raiders.
I think they lose that as well.
Three and ten.
Jaguars versus Raiders.
I think that's another game.
It's that fucking quarterback.
They just.
The 49ers?
No, for the for the what's his name?
(29:32):
Jaguars.
The guy they drafted.
Oh, the blonde haired frog.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Oh, I'm looking at it right now.
Trevor Lawrence.
Trevor Lawrence.
I think they also.
Oh, they're the ones who got Mac Jones.
So there's a backup.
Yeah, there's a backup, man.
Fuck.
That's the Jaguars.
I think that's like.
(29:55):
That's another loss.
Raiders and Saints, the revenge game.
Derek Carr versus the Raiders.
I think they lose that one, too.
Yeah, probably.
And then Chargers versus Raiders.
Another loss.
So that amounts to a three and fucking three and 17 season or well, there's 17 games.
So it's three and three and 14.
(30:15):
Yeah, there you go.
I'm going OK.
So game one, we got Patriots, Bengals.
I think we win that one.
I think we start off the season one and oh, then we got Seahawks and Patriots loss one
and one Patriots and Jets.
We're losing that one and two Patriots and 49ers.
We're fucking losing that one and three Dolphins and Patriots.
We're definitely losing that.
So now we're one and four Texas and Texas and Patriots.
(30:36):
I don't know.
That one's a toss up.
But let's say we'll give that to him.
That'll be our second win.
So we're two and two and four Patriots and Jaguars.
We're fucking losing that one fucking for sure.
So that's two and five.
Wait, what did you say for the Texans?
I think the Patriots might eat that one out.
It's at home.
Why?
It's at home.
I feel like that's the time.
(30:58):
It's early in the season.
We're still fresh.
I feel like they're a good team, though.
Yeah, but I feel like I feel like someone they're going to fuck up.
We're going to have everybody gets one fuck up game every season where they lose a fuck
off game.
So I think that's going to be a C.J. Stroud.
It's pretty baller.
I actually think my prediction for the Super Bowl, maybe we'll do I'll say I'll save it.
I'll save it.
OK.
I'll save it.
(31:18):
We'll do Super Bowl prediction.
All right.
And then we got I think our other win is going to come against because we are facing the
fucking Cardinals.
So I think we're going to get another win against the Cardinals.
And that's three.
And basically, the rest of it is just all losses.
That's that's what I'm going to three and fucking 14.
That's what I'm looking at.
So, yeah, I think we're we're going to win three games this year.
(31:39):
All right.
So if you had if you had to size up.
All the teams, where do you think what do you think the Super Bowl?
What are your Super Bowl predictions for the year?
As much as I don't fucking want the goddamn Kansas City Chiefs to fucking win a third
one in a row, I don't I anything short of a miracle.
(32:02):
They're at least appearing in the game.
They have to conference.
They have to conference championship.
No, they're going to win that.
They think they're going to go to the Super Bowl.
They're going to be in the Super Bowl.
OK.
Unless I mean, unless, like I said, barring some crazy shit happening.
Now I will say if Taylor Swift breaks up with Travis Kelsey, they are out.
(32:26):
They're not going to be in the Super Bowl.
I will predict that right now.
If that happens, they will not even make it to the Super Bowl.
OK.
But if they're still together, come Super Bowl event itself and they're in it, they're
winning it three in a row.
Taylor, it's the story of a lifetime.
So I my NFL pick is strictly based on Taylor Swift.
(32:51):
Fucking nonsense.
So it doesn't have to be who wins the Super Bowl and just be the two teams.
Oh, I don't know.
I can't.
I haven't really looked into many of the other teams to say enough to know enough right now.
But for sure, the Kansas City Chiefs will, like I said, barring some act of God or World
(33:15):
War three starting or another pandemic, it's probably going to be them.
But for the FC, yeah, for the FC, the NFC, I don't know.
I will say I just wanted to see what the Vegas like the bookie odds are.
OK, what do you got?
And we got let's see who is the fucking before you get to it.
(33:36):
I just want to I don't know if this is going to say otherwise, but my predictions, my prediction
for Super Bowl is fucking Houston Texans and Detroit Lions.
Oh, man, that'd be a good one, dude, because Jared Goff nearly fucking did it.
Yeah.
I think they have a super talented fucking team with the I forgot the other running
(33:58):
backs name, but it's like Jamiro there's Jamiro Gibbs.
They have a two headed running back monster between Jamiro Gibbs and the other fucking
guy, and they're both fucking amazing.
And then you have Jared Goff, his quarterback kind of had a resurgence.
And then you had the other the wide receiver asshole.
His name is, I think, Mon Saint Ra or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Among among among Saint Ra.
(34:18):
Yeah.
So like that, if I'm not mistaken.
But they've nearly gotten to the Super Bowl in the previous season.
And I think they're capable of getting there and also fucking winning.
And I think this is the season that they do it.
And I just I'm partial.
I think I'm partial to the fact that I had C.J.
Stroud on my team.
(34:39):
Like I I picked him up.
Yeah.
I think somewhere like the I picked him up during the season.
Not knowing where he would be as a as a fucking backup quarterback.
And he ended up becoming what would potentially be their franchise quarterback.
Yeah.
And they have good wide receivers.
I think they're going to fucking end up going to the Super Bowl.
(35:02):
If Patrick Rahones shits the bed at the AFC championship.
So it's all contingent upon how the AFC championship goes.
But I think it's Houston.
Yeah.
I think it's like a Houston Detroit.
But what is Vegas?
OK.
Vegas says the top four.
OK, so the top two teams are both plus 600 right now.
And that's the 49ers in the fucking chiefs.
Forty nine.
That's who Vegas has right now.
(35:23):
We also have Baltimore at plus a thousand is number three and Detroit at plus twelve
hundred is fucking fourth.
Where's Houston?
Houston six.
That's fifteen hundred.
So just put again this these odds.
This is that this is preseason odds.
These numbers are going to change throughout the fucking season.
I don't know when they cut this bet off.
Yeah.
(35:44):
But this is futures.
Yeah.
This is like the futures of fucking this is on.
What is this fucking what's this blue one?
It's FanDuel Sportsbook.
That's the main one that's being there.
They have all the odds for every single team.
But basically Casey and San Francisco are top two in everything.
(36:04):
What the fuck?
Because I mean, shit, we'll see what happens.
But man, Christian McCaffrey already fucking injured for 49ers.
So I forgot if I forgot if it was serious or not.
I don't know.
I think he's going to be back for the regular season.
But point being like that motherfucker is consistently getting injured and he's kind
of a big part of their offense.
Yeah.
(36:25):
I mean, I think for at least for the shit, I think in the NFC championship, he put a
fucking monster number.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
But I mean, fuck, if he's not there, I mean, that kind of shoots him in the fucking foot.
And I think that what's that asshole's name?
A-Juck or whatever.
Something AJuck.
(36:45):
That's their wide receiver.
Yeah, I think he's holding out on his fucking contracts.
I don't know if he's even I don't even know if he's on the team.
Let me look it up real quick.
It's been a while since I checked AJuck.
Brandon AJuck receiver for the 49 contract.
Hold on.
Just want to jump a check.
Yeah.
Because I don't even think he reported for rumors have slight.
(37:10):
He contracts.
He's having like a contract dispute.
So I don't know a little bit of a little bit of uncertainty with the 49ers.
So maybe those maybe those odds change for Vegas.
I don't know.
But as far as we know, it's still still fine.
Yeah, still fine as far as they were.
But whatever, we'll see what happens.
Anyways, you got anything else for this episode?
(37:32):
The UCL ship.
We can just say that for that could be a whole other episode.
Fuck.
We do that another time.
So anyways, well, we ended up just talking about football.
Basically this one.
Also, we did say we're gonna talk shit about the Olympics.
So also, fuck everyone else.
I just want to say that at the end so we can say we talked about it because you mentioned
UCL and then we'll say fuck everyone else.
Talk all the other country.
We whooped your ass.
Get fucked.
All right.
(37:53):
That's the bottom line.
Gold medal.
We're the fucking.
We're the gold medal champs.
Not only did we get.
Well, we're tired, but the tiebreaker being silver.
Yeah, we handily whooped their ass.
No, I mean, shit, it was an equal distribution.
I mean, we across the board, we just fucking killed it.
Yeah, we killed everyone.
Annihilated everybody.
Whooped everybody's ass.
So so anyways, that's it for us.

What do you mean?
Because there's voices in the background that go, oh, or some bullshit.
Is it possible to take that out?
Did you make this one?
No, I didn't make this one.
This was a fucking stock from Envato Elements.
(00:50):

Anyways, I will say to start off, man, when you said that thing about getting a Miguel's
(02:14):
burrito, I was like, damn, that does sound fucking good.
And I am fucking pissed that they are not open this late.
Yeah, I don't understand what before we hop into the sports, man.
I miss pre pandemic days when everything was open for pretty much until 12 o'clock or some
restaurants were even open 24 hours and ever since then, it's just been closed at 10 or
(02:38):
nine.
Surprisingly, Chipotle is now extending their hours till 1130 or so.
God damn, that's pretty good.
But still, fuck man, like Miguel's, you need to get your shit together.
All right.
If you're a yellow local business of the same city, you're fucking up.
All right.
We're putting you on notice.
If you want to become a sponsor of the hottest fucking podcast network on the planet, Game
(03:03):
Rage magazine podcast network, getting sponsored by fucking Miguel's, that would be the tit.
I would be eating every fucking episode.
I don't think we'd be eating anything but Miguel's.
We would be literally eating bean and cheese burritos and fucking garbage burritos and
nachos and cheese.
We'd be eating cheesecakes and the oh my God, everything off the fucking menu.
(03:23):
Of course.
Like how could we?
How could we not do that?
Oh yeah, we would be super fucking fat for sure.
But yeah, Miguel's, you're fucking up.
We need some late night fucking because where can we get late night Mexican food around
here?
(03:43):
Nowhere.
I mean, that's good.
I think you got to go somewhere else for that because I don't know.
There's a bunch of like small like there's that Castaneda's place, but I don't know if
that place is any fucking good and I don't even want to bother trying.
Yeah.
And there's also, I will say there are guys over there on surface club that they've popped
(04:04):
up one of those little fucking things and they they're standing out there.
We drove by him last night.
We went in and out and I was like, oh man, maybe we should get all the time.
They were there last night.
So wait, you talking about over by surface club, like right by the freeway, by the gas
station right there.
And I must have told those guys to fuck off because apparently there was these guys that
were standing across or standing in front of the A.M.P.M. that's right next door to
(04:25):
the in and out.
And they were parking themselves.
They're just selling like tacos.
Yeah.
And then they must have told them to fuck off.
Yeah.
They must have moved there or whatever.
I don't know if the same guy's not, but yeah, they I was like, fuck it.
And also just off the freeway, there's people parking themselves off the exit over by cart
of that, because they're smart enough, they're like, yeah, we're just off the freeway.
(04:49):
Like you literally just have to pull off to the side and get your fucking tacos or burritos.
Yeah, I would actually be curious to try some of that.
Yeah, me too.
Maybe we should try one of those places.
I would rather go.
I don't know why, but I automatically think anybody that just sends up a tent or a canopy
to sell, sell tacos is going to be better than this fucking Casanovas.
You're probably right.
I don't know.
(05:09):
You're probably right.
But anyways, all right, let's get down to business.
You want to talk about UCL injuries or whatever.
I thought you were going to talk about the NFL.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
You actually what is the rule with the written rule?
So the written rule is both teams line up within 10 yards of each other.
(05:32):
And I think it was on them.
Yeah, okay.
So is it the 50 yard line and everybody has 10 yards between?
No, it's yeah, like, well, one of them's on the 40 on the 40 of one of them's on the
50 or one of them on the 50 in the 40.
Let me let me see because they're within like 10 yards of each other.
They're like they're like right on each other.
OK, NFL.
Let me just let me just read the things.
(05:52):
So it's 45 yard line between the both of them or?
Yeah.
Oh, here it is.
The explainer.
Here we go.
Let's just read this real quick because it's it's it is fucking confusing if you really
fucking think about it.
So the ball is now the ball is on the 35 yard line, which is the same as it currently is.
Those the spotting of the ball is the same as it is now.
(06:16):
So the alignment, this is where it gets different.
So all kicking team players other than the kicker will line up with one foot on the receiving
team's 40 yard line.
Wait, what?
So all kicking players will be on the 40 yard line of the receiving teams.
They're receiving their 40 yard line.
(06:38):
So all kicking team players other than the kicker will line up with one foot on the receiving
teams.
So they're B 40.
So that's on like their 40 yard line.
Why?
OK, and then because so there's a five yard area from that B 35 to B 30 where at least
(07:01):
nine receiving team players must line up.
So they're actually within five yards of each other.
So they're from the B 40 to the B 35 line.
OK, OK.
And then seven players have to have one foot on the B 35 yard line.
OK, players not on the restraining line must be lined up in the set up zone, which is outside
(07:24):
these the hash marks that they put.
OK, and then people that are anyone that's in the set up zone cannot move until the kick
hits the ground or the player in the landing zone or the end zone catches it.
OK, to return you can have two returners line up in the landing zone and they can move whenever
(07:46):
the fuck they want.
They can do whatever they want.
OK, so the landing zone is the area between blah, blah, blah, you know, the 20 yard line
and their goal line.
Any kick that hits short of the landing zone is counted as out of bounds and is spotted
at that B 40 yard line of play.
So any kick that hits in the landing zone must be returned.
(08:09):
So you have to you have to return it.
Any kick that hits in the landing zone and then goes into the end zone must be returned
or downed by the receiving team.
If downed, then the touchback takes it to the 20 yard line as is the normal rule.
OK.
So if the kick hits in the end zone and then stays in bounds, it needs to be returned or
(08:31):
downed.
And if it's downed in the end zone, you get to go up to the 30 yard line for the touchback
for the for the ball spotted at the 30 yard line instead of the 20.
So if you catch a ball in the end zone and down it, you get an extra 10 yards as opposed
to just downing it fucking if it just went out or whatever.
So any kick that goes out the back of the end zone is automatically to the 30 yard line.
(08:59):
So now they've removed the incentive to kick the ball out to the end zone to just kick
it through the uprights basically.
So now you want to kick the ball.
It's like this is going to take more of a skill contest now because you're basically
going to want to put the ball between the 35 yard line and like the one yard line.
(09:20):
Yeah.
So like now you want to put the ball there and not have it go over because now you're
going and then no one can move until the ball either hits the ground or someone touches
it.
So they're all going to be standing there staring at each other, which they have.
I've been seeing it in preseason.
They just stand there and fucking look at each other.
They're waiting.
Then all of a sudden someone either catches it or the ball hits the ground and then they
(09:42):
go, they're just fucking fighting.
And then this dude is able to basically just run up to the fucking 35 yard line.
And also now here's the other thing too.
If that guy squirts past, you remember how like, oh, the kicker can fucking come after
and like take them out, right?
If that guy squirts past everybody through to and gets to the, the kicker can't touch
the dude until he passes the 50 yard line.
(10:05):
So if you squirt past everybody, you've got a free pass until the 50 yard line that, that
the kicker is not going to be able to, he's the furthest guy back.
He ain't going to be able to do shit to you.
But once you pass that 50 yard line, then all bets are off.
He can fucking tackle you or do whatever, kick you in the nuts, whatever the fuck he's
got to do to keep you from scoring.
It is the dumbest fucking thing.
(10:25):
Why do that?
And why not just have, why not just have the kickoff of the opposing team?
Oh, why don't they scale it back to the 25 yard line?
Because nobody's going to kick it more than fucking 80 or a hundred yards or whatever.
And it's probably going to end up in the back end of the other teams, uh, the bad, their,
(10:49):
their yardage or whatever.
So why don't just move it back and make it harder for the other teams, the team that's
kicking off, just move the line back further so that we don't end up getting these end
zone, you know, these kickoffs that end up in the back of the end zone.
Also onside kicks are basically gone.
No.
The only way you can do an onside kick now is at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
(11:13):
If you are the team that is losing, you can declare on your first kickoff, Hey, we're
going to do an onside kick.
But, okay.
So you're letting everybody know you're going to do it.
And then after that, the current onside kickoff rules would apply, but that's the only time
you can actually do an onside kick according to that's horseshoe.
(11:34):
You should do whatever.
Yeah, it's not.
The only thing is penalties are basically the same.
The setup zone never changes.
Any penalty that's applied during the kickoff or anything like that will be added on or
taken from wherever the ball spotted at.
(11:55):
So what happened with onside?
What happened with punts?
Any with punts?
No, this is only for kickoffs.
So punting has basically stayed the same from what I have been able to survive and see anything
about it.
They did make some other rule changes.
They make it so hard for like, well, not only is this rule convoluted or shit for the kickoff,
(12:20):
but they're also not letting fucking defensive players just fucking touch dudes.
Right.
And here's the other thing.
It doesn't even make any sense because like, okay, in the MLB, right?
When you have the dynamic, or not the dynamic pitch rule, but when you have the pitch clock.
Yeah.
And I think it was all up in arms about that and they were like, oh, this is going to be
so stupid, blah, blah, blah.
I will say that is a rule change that actually benefited the game.
Makes the game go by faster.
(12:43):
It increases the play.
I think it has helped the game of baseball.
I think they extended by like 10 seconds.
So apparently, it's a little short.
I don't know if they can find the exact correlation between guys getting UCL tears and pitch clock
itself.
But if they do end up finding the connection between the two, and maybe they need to extend
(13:04):
the time so that it's not just dudes throwing 105 miles an hour nonstop to the point that
they fuck up their arm.
Like, yeah, maybe that's something that's worth looking into for that.
But talking about this rule, man, this one makes no fucking sense.
I barely understand what the fuck is going on.
I just know that between the 35 yard line and the one yard marker, pretty much towards
(13:27):
the end, the end zone, that that's the sweet spot.
And if you do anything else, there's penalty.
Yep.
If you do anything else, you get fucked.
Yeah, that's basically it.
And I know somebody is going to find the loopholes of how to make these rules in favor of them
for both sides, for both the offense and the team kicking off, or rather the receiving
team and the kickoff team.
But I don't know, man.
(13:50):
I'm going to have to see this shit visually and see if it makes the game worse, because
I know they're trying to make the kickoff something.
It's kind of like the hole in the game that's in television wise that we just get people
downing the ball or the kickers end up kicking it too deep or whatever.
But I don't know if this is actually any better.
(14:11):
Yeah, I don't think it is, to be honest with you.
The other rule change that they made was also that player positions, certain positions can
now have more numbers to choose from when they when they're picking their fucking number,
which gives a shit.
Oh, Ray.
I will say I thought it was funny that like I didn't really even know this offensive lineman
and defensive lineman are the only people on the field that could potentially have the
(14:32):
number 69.
So they haven't had they haven't had 100 yet.
And so with the number, I triple digit number, I can't wait.
I mean, that would be the best.
I mean, also, I mean, you can have zero.
I mean, you know, it's funny is.
Quarterbacks used to be one through 19.
Now it's zero.
(14:53):
And they added zero to the mix, like who fucking game change?
Who was asking for that game changing, bro?
You just don't know, man.
Like shit, actually, before it looks like no one could be zero.
But now they're all fucking added.
Now everybody can be zero if they wanted to, except for lineman offensive and defensive
lineman have to choose offensive lineman can be 50 to 79.
And the defensive lineman can be that plus 90 to 99.
(15:16):
So that's fucking crazy.
I would be either an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman just so I could be pick
69 and be like, that's what I want to go fuck yourselves.
So shit, I was going to say if somebody could spell boobs on the defense defense, eight
zero zero eight.
But I don't think it's possible with defense because the defensive backs.
Well, actually, what do the linebackers get?
(15:38):
No, they can't be because one would have to be 80 and one would have to be zero eight.
Yeah.
So it's impossible.
Wait.
Yeah, you can't because it wouldn't work.
It wouldn't work.
Fuck.
So many missed opportunities.
Yeah.
Shit, man.
I'm finding less reason to watch the NFL.
Yeah.
Now I'm starting to get a little pissed off.
Now I'm starting to be like, well, and then they have this new like, I mean, listen, I
(16:00):
know they're implementing safety measures and shit and all that, but there's like this
new like weird fucking helmet thing that they got for practice.
Yeah.
Like it's the I think I've seen the safety.
I was watching the hard knocks thing with they're doing.
God, who the fuck is it right now?
It was the New York Giants.
Yeah, it was a giant.
It was a giant.
(16:21):
Or is it Chicago?
No, it's the Bears because the Giants were the preseason one or the the one that was
the mid.
Yeah.
No, the Giants were like the mid year.
Oh, what they're doing to they're doing to see.
Yeah, they did.
They did the Giants like a few weeks ago.
And then now this is the proper official one is the is the Bears.
Oh, shit.
And then there will be a mid season team, which I don't know if they've even announced
to that fucking is yet trying to get more content.
(16:43):
Oh, they're they're working hard milking it.
Oh, it was off season.
It was it's hard knocks off season now.
So it was off season with the New York Giants.
That was what it was, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was it was it was that hard knocks off season with the Giants.
Now it's hard knocks proper with.
The Bears like the proper because they weren't doing it was just the preseason bullshit.
(17:04):
That was hard knocks.
Yeah, that was hard knocks.
Proper proper.
Yeah.
OK, so in 2024, they will have a bunch of teams.
They're having the Steelers, the Ravens, the Bengals, the Browns, the Giants and the Bears
in 2024.
So what is this on HBO or Max?
I mean, I have that so I can just well, you know, never mind.
(17:27):
We'll take you in.
You just watch it here, Adam, officially.
You know, this is what you can do.
You just watch it with me.
We can watch together and hold hands and eat popcorn and, you know, do all that good stuff.
Yeah, some of those.
I mean, some of them are good.
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't watched a whole ton of them, but some of the the Houston Texans when I think
it was like seven years ago or whatever, they had a well, he used to be part of the Patriots,
(17:48):
Vince Wilfork.
Oh, yeah.
And these guys basically prank this guy to to show up in like farmers attire.
So he came in with fucking denim overalls and he was he was he didn't have fucking underwear.
So I don't know.
It's just like dumb shit like that.
That makes it interesting.
But I actually haven't seen more of the current ones.
(18:10):
Yeah, so last year, the I watched the I think the midseason one was the fucking Cardinals,
Arizona Cardinals.
That was funny because the coach got fired.
So that was fun.
That's pretty funny.
It was pretty funny.
Maybe maybe I audibly cacked.
Anyways, so, yeah, that's that's the deal with the NFL's fucking new bullshit.
(18:32):
So I just like to say that my my faith in the Raiders, since I am a Raiders fan.
Yeah.
I'm completely destroyed.
I don't have high hopes for this team because I kind of went through the the their schedule
for the season.
Yeah, I think they're going to go fucking.
(18:52):
How many games?
There's 18 games.
So one of them is a bi-week.
17.
Oh, and 17.
I don't think they're going to go oh and 17, but I think they'll definitely go fucking
like seven and fucking seven and 10.
They're not going to beat anybody in their division.
I don't think they'd be KC.
I don't think they beat them.
I don't think they beat the Chargers.
(19:13):
I don't.
I think the wins that they get maybe are from Denver, possibly.
And then everybody else is going to fucking destroy them.
But I think roughly what I came to was they're probably going to end up being a seven and
10 team, which is really sad because they just got this new coach that filled in for
the other guy.
I forgot his fucking name, but he turned the team around.
(19:35):
Yeah.
He was Antonio Pierce, who's the fucking guy.
And I really liked the dude.
It was somebody that was from within their own organization that he was the guy that
ended up having the Raiders beat KC, I think sometime around Christmas or New Year's.
Yeah.
I was like, all right, cool.
This guy looks like he wants the fucking job.
(19:57):
He loves the Raiders.
He remembers them when they were in fucking Compton or Inglewood.
So it's not just the fact that he wants to be a coach.
He loved the franchise before they even got to here in Las Vegas or even Oakland.
So he remembers that shit.
So I was like, all right, cool.
But they're also not helping him in with basically the current roster.
(20:19):
I don't think they fucking do anything this season.
I think they fucking tank on purpose and try to get a first round pick.
And knowing they're retarded ass, I know I said retarded, but fuck it.
Yeah, whatever.
They're probably going to pick something stupid like a tight end like they did this year for
the first pick.
And I think this guy is going to get fired probably next year when he probably didn't
(20:41):
fucking deserve because the Raiders don't know what the fuck they're doing.
So that's my outlook for the Raiders in 2024.
Yeah.
My outlook for the Patriots is basically the same.
I don't think we're going to do very well.
I will say, you know, obviously, I don't know the whole Belichick thing.
Who knows if it was time to get rid of him?
(21:02):
Who knows if they should have let him go?
I barely found out he was gone this year.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Yeah, because it's that OJ Mayo.
Yeah, Jared Mayo.
Racist.
No, no, no, because he was a fucking USC player.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyways, no, but you're a male.
Yeah, I mean, I will say I'm glad that they went with Jared Mayo because he's a Patriots
(21:27):
guy.
I mean, he's he's been he played on the team.
He was a linebacker with the fucking team.
He was the linebackers coach since 2019.
He played on the team, I think, for 23rd, no, 2011.
What was it?
Twenty.
Two thousand eight to 2015.
He was on the team.
He was a player.
And then twenty nineteen he came on as the inside linebackers coach.
(21:49):
And then he did that until just now this year in twenty twenty four.
He's now the head coach.
He's been put into the spotlight as the head coach.
I think that the Belichick system works.
I think it just I think Belichick is so old and he did it for so long.
It needed some fresh eyes.
And I feel like he's I feel like if anybody is going to be the guy to do something, it
ain't going to be this year.
(22:10):
I think Jared Mayo has the tools to be able to say, OK, cool, I can take that Belichick
system that worked, apply a new fresh look to it and change it enough to make it different
to where now we're winning again.
Who's even the fucking quarterback for the Patriots?
Well, they have that fucking that shithead.
God damn, I can never remember his fucking name because I hate him so much.
(22:31):
He's so fucking bad.
That Bailey fucking there's him.
That Zappie guy.
Let me just look at the depth charts.
I haven't even been fucking Patriots QB depth chart.
We got fucking.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
They got Jacobi Brissett right now, which it's the depth chart.
(22:53):
Drake May is the other guy and Bailey Zappie.
And then they have a third, the fourth guy, Joe Milton, the third.
I know what that is.
But Jacobi Brissett is looking like we're set.
Whatever Brissett Brissett.
Fuck, fuck off.
He was somebody that was already in the organization.
He was already in the organization.
It was fucking Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo.
(23:14):
Actually, I can't remember if it was Brissett and then Jimmy Garoppolo.
But he was I think he was like the second or third string quarterback when Tom Brady
went away for a hot minute and then he went to the Indianapolis Colts and was the starting
quarterback.
Yeah, 2016.
Yeah, he was he was on the Patriots.
He was like the third string guy.
And then, yeah, he went to Indianapolis for four years and then went to Miami, Cleveland,
(23:36):
Washington.
Now he's back here.
Fucking washed with the Patriots.
I don't know.
I mean, I think New England needs we need to do something.
We need a franchise quarterback.
I don't know if any of these guys are it.
I mean, we got rid of Mac Jones.
So like that's good.
That was the idiot.
I fucking Mac Jones was like supposed to be the new Tom Brady.
(23:57):
Shit the bed.
And that's one thing that's very interesting to me is like with the Chicago Bears deal,
right?
Because I'm hard.
Yeah, they're they're holding this huge standard.
And what's crazy is the dudes who are truly legends in the NFL who become legendary quarterbacks,
none of them were ever first round draft picks for the most part.
(24:17):
They're mostly like unknown guys or they did this or they did that.
I don't think a lot of them were like this dude.
Like there's a lot of pressure on this guy.
And I think it just goes to say that the majority of the time you may be the number one prospect
going into the league.
But once you get there, it's a whole nother fucking thing.
And a lot of guys can't handle it.
And a lot of guys shit the bed and end up being fucking backup quarterbacks, which there's
(24:41):
nothing wrong with that.
But it's just to say with all this fucking pressure on you, you were the number one pick
in the league.
Yeah, it's very ugly.
And you are going to get your shit pushed in.
And I will say the guy who's the head coach of the Bears, I think this dude is doing it
the right way.
He's not like fucking trying to beat his ass.
(25:04):
He's not trying to beat it out of him.
He's trying to be like, all right, cool.
Like let's make little small progressions and let's not worry about everyone else's
expectations because we are also the Chicago Bears.
So like, yeah, they haven't been relevant since the 80s.
You can't turn a team around with a number one draft pick in a single season.
So like, let's temper our expectations and say, hey, why don't this year we try to shoot
(25:25):
for 500?
Let's make that our goal.
We're going to.
And that's not that he's been saying that.
But I think that's how they're kind of approaching it is let's shoot for 500 this year.
Oh, cool.
We do 500 or better.
Hey, next year, maybe let's look at trying to do playoff contention.
And then if we get to the playoffs, cool, maybe let's look at, you know, making it to
what are they in the AFC?
Let's make it look at it.
Let's maybe get into an AFC championship game.
OK, cool.
(25:46):
We get there.
Hey, maybe next year.
I think this is a five year turnaround for them, maybe of potentially within the next
five to six years appearing in an AFC championship or like a champ, a conference championship
game.
I don't know about a Super Bowl, but I think that they have the tools to do it based on
what I've seen.
Patriots.
This is going to be a fucking complete rebranding.
This is going to need to be a complete fucking overhaul.
(26:07):
I don't think they can anybody in their own their own division, which is no, the Bills,
the Jets and the Dolphins.
Those three teams are I mean, listen, the Jets or whatever.
But like the Bills, the Bills have been great the last fucking three or four years.
So the Miami Dolphins and you know, we go 50 50 with the Jets because we play them usually
twice a year.
We usually win one and they win one now.
(26:28):
That's how it's been going.
I don't know if this year we're going to win one.
I think we might go against them.
Yeah, so I think we might go into on the fucking.
So they're not winning anything for no, I know we are going to be.
I think we're going to go three and 14 this year.
I think that's probably about what we're looking at.
Maybe maybe enough to fucking find out.
Start looking at quarterbacks in college right now to see if they're going to find a franchise
(26:52):
quarterback.
I think that's what they're going to.
I think they're going to do the Raider route and try to get the worst record so they can
fucking get the first round pick.
But they have a legitimate reason, though, of why they should fucking lose because of
the fucking Las Vegas Raiders.
And I don't expect much of them from within their own division beating anybody other than
maybe the Denver Broncos, because I know the fucking Casey Chiefs are going to fucking
steamroll them.
(27:12):
And everybody in the AFC is at least.
Shit, I would have to check out all the teams for the AFC.
Well, I had the schedule, their schedule.
I mean, I'll fucking pull it up real quick just to tell you where they're.
So we can we can go game by game.
You can do it with the Patriots of where you think they're going.
(27:33):
Oh, yeah.
All right.
That's a good idea.
All right.
Pull it up right now.
Twenty twenty four Patriots schedule.
I mean, God, we're already fucking up.
I mean, Jesus Christ, it's not good.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's see.
That was twenty three.
Where the fuck's preseason here it is.
Yeah, I mean, wait, that's twenty two.
(27:56):
Why the fuck am I in?
All right, I got the Raiders schedule.
All right, go for it.
Game one Chargers lost.
Wow.
Game two Ravens lost.
Oh, yeah.
Mark Jackson.
And I forgot who else they brought in for.
I think they brought they brought in a running back.
I don't have to look that up later, but guaranteed fucking loss.
I think the Raiders lose Panthers.
(28:18):
I actually don't know too much about the Panthers to say whether
whether they're good or not.
But I think if there was a game that the Raiders could take, it'd probably be the Panthers
because I don't even think they're in the conversation of being a good team.
Yeah.
Browns.
I think they fucking lose that.
So right now we're sitting at one in three record Raiders versus Broncos again.
(28:44):
I think they take that one.
So now they're two and three Steelers two for four or two and four.
That's another loss.
Raiders versus Rams two and five.
Raiders versus Bengals two and six.
Raiders versus Dolphins two and seven.
Broncos versus Raiders three and seven.
(29:08):
Raiders versus Chiefs three and eight.
Raiders versus Buccaneers three and nine.
Falcons and Raiders.
I think they lose that as well.
Three and ten.
Jaguars versus Raiders.
I think that's another game.
It's that fucking quarterback.
They just.
The 49ers?
No, for the for the what's his name?
(29:32):
Jaguars.
The guy they drafted.
Oh, the blonde haired frog.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Oh, I'm looking at it right now.
Trevor Lawrence.
Trevor Lawrence.
I think they also.
Oh, they're the ones who got Mac Jones.
So there's a backup.
Yeah, there's a backup, man.
Fuck.
That's the Jaguars.
I think that's like.
(29:55):
That's another loss.
Raiders and Saints, the revenge game.
Derek Carr versus the Raiders.
I think they lose that one, too.
Yeah, probably.
And then Chargers versus Raiders.
Another loss.
So that amounts to a three and fucking three and 17 season or well, there's 17 games.
So it's three and three and 14.
(30:15):
Yeah, there you go.
I'm going OK.
So game one, we got Patriots, Bengals.
I think we win that one.
I think we start off the season one and oh, then we got Seahawks and Patriots loss one
and one Patriots and Jets.
We're losing that one and two Patriots and 49ers.
We're fucking losing that one and three Dolphins and Patriots.
We're definitely losing that.
So now we're one and four Texas and Texas and Patriots.
(30:36):
I don't know.
That one's a toss up.
But let's say we'll give that to him.
That'll be our second win.
So we're two and two and four Patriots and Jaguars.
We're fucking losing that one fucking for sure.
So that's two and five.
Wait, what did you say for the Texans?
I think the Patriots might eat that one out.
It's at home.
Why?
It's at home.
I feel like that's the time.
(30:58):
It's early in the season.
We're still fresh.
I feel like they're a good team, though.
Yeah, but I feel like I feel like someone they're going to fuck up.
We're going to have everybody gets one fuck up game every season where they lose a fuck
off game.
So I think that's going to be a C.J. Stroud.
It's pretty baller.
I actually think my prediction for the Super Bowl, maybe we'll do I'll say I'll save it.
I'll save it.
OK.
I'll save it.
(31:18):
We'll do Super Bowl prediction.
All right.
And then we got I think our other win is going to come against because we are facing the
fucking Cardinals.
So I think we're going to get another win against the Cardinals.
And that's three.
And basically, the rest of it is just all losses.
That's that's what I'm going to three and fucking 14.
That's what I'm looking at.
So, yeah, I think we're we're going to win three games this year.
(31:39):
All right.
So if you had if you had to size up.
All the teams, where do you think what do you think the Super Bowl?
What are your Super Bowl predictions for the year?
As much as I don't fucking want the goddamn Kansas City Chiefs to fucking win a third
one in a row, I don't I anything short of a miracle.
(32:02):
They're at least appearing in the game.
They have to conference.
They have to conference championship.
No, they're going to win that.
They think they're going to go to the Super Bowl.
They're going to be in the Super Bowl.
OK.
Unless I mean, unless, like I said, barring some crazy shit happening.
Now I will say if Taylor Swift breaks up with Travis Kelsey, they are out.
(32:26):
They're not going to be in the Super Bowl.
I will predict that right now.
If that happens, they will not even make it to the Super Bowl.
OK.
But if they're still together, come Super Bowl event itself and they're in it, they're
winning it three in a row.
Taylor, it's the story of a lifetime.
So I my NFL pick is strictly based on Taylor Swift.
(32:51):
Fucking nonsense.
So it doesn't have to be who wins the Super Bowl and just be the two teams.
Oh, I don't know.
I can't.
I haven't really looked into many of the other teams to say enough to know enough right now.
But for sure, the Kansas City Chiefs will, like I said, barring some act of God or World
(33:15):
War three starting or another pandemic, it's probably going to be them.
But for the FC, yeah, for the FC, the NFC, I don't know.
I will say I just wanted to see what the Vegas like the bookie odds are.
OK, what do you got?
And we got let's see who is the fucking before you get to it.
(33:36):
I just want to I don't know if this is going to say otherwise, but my predictions, my prediction
for Super Bowl is fucking Houston Texans and Detroit Lions.
Oh, man, that'd be a good one, dude, because Jared Goff nearly fucking did it.
Yeah.
I think they have a super talented fucking team with the I forgot the other running
(33:58):
backs name, but it's like Jamiro there's Jamiro Gibbs.
They have a two headed running back monster between Jamiro Gibbs and the other fucking
guy, and they're both fucking amazing.
And then you have Jared Goff, his quarterback kind of had a resurgence.
And then you had the other the wide receiver asshole.
His name is, I think, Mon Saint Ra or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Among among among Saint Ra.
(34:18):
Yeah.
So like that, if I'm not mistaken.
But they've nearly gotten to the Super Bowl in the previous season.
And I think they're capable of getting there and also fucking winning.
And I think this is the season that they do it.
And I just I'm partial.
I think I'm partial to the fact that I had C.J.
Stroud on my team.
(34:39):
Like I I picked him up.
Yeah.
I think somewhere like the I picked him up during the season.
Not knowing where he would be as a as a fucking backup quarterback.
And he ended up becoming what would potentially be their franchise quarterback.
Yeah.
And they have good wide receivers.
I think they're going to fucking end up going to the Super Bowl.
(35:02):
If Patrick Rahones shits the bed at the AFC championship.
So it's all contingent upon how the AFC championship goes.
But I think it's Houston.
Yeah.
I think it's like a Houston Detroit.
But what is Vegas?
OK.
Vegas says the top four.
OK, so the top two teams are both plus 600 right now.
And that's the 49ers in the fucking chiefs.
Forty nine.
That's who Vegas has right now.
(35:23):
We also have Baltimore at plus a thousand is number three and Detroit at plus twelve
hundred is fucking fourth.
Where's Houston?
Houston six.
That's fifteen hundred.
So just put again this these odds.
This is that this is preseason odds.
These numbers are going to change throughout the fucking season.
I don't know when they cut this bet off.
Yeah.
(35:44):
But this is futures.
Yeah.
This is like the futures of fucking this is on.
What is this fucking what's this blue one?
It's FanDuel Sportsbook.
That's the main one that's being there.
They have all the odds for every single team.
But basically Casey and San Francisco are top two in everything.
(36:04):
What the fuck?
Because I mean, shit, we'll see what happens.
But man, Christian McCaffrey already fucking injured for 49ers.
So I forgot if I forgot if it was serious or not.
I don't know.
I think he's going to be back for the regular season.
But point being like that motherfucker is consistently getting injured and he's kind
of a big part of their offense.
Yeah.
(36:25):
I mean, I think for at least for the shit, I think in the NFC championship, he put a
fucking monster number.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
But I mean, fuck, if he's not there, I mean, that kind of shoots him in the fucking foot.
And I think that what's that asshole's name?
A-Juck or whatever.
Something AJuck.
(36:45):
That's their wide receiver.
Yeah, I think he's holding out on his fucking contracts.
I don't know if he's even I don't even know if he's on the team.
Let me look it up real quick.
It's been a while since I checked AJuck.
Brandon AJuck receiver for the 49 contract.
Hold on.
Just want to jump a check.
Yeah.
Because I don't even think he reported for rumors have slight.
(37:10):
He contracts.
He's having like a contract dispute.
So I don't know a little bit of a little bit of uncertainty with the 49ers.
So maybe those maybe those odds change for Vegas.
I don't know.
But as far as we know, it's still still fine.
Yeah, still fine as far as they were.
But whatever, we'll see what happens.
Anyways, you got anything else for this episode?
(37:32):
The UCL ship.
We can just say that for that could be a whole other episode.
Fuck.
We do that another time.
So anyways, well, we ended up just talking about football.
Basically this one.
Also, we did say we're gonna talk shit about the Olympics.
So also, fuck everyone else.
I just want to say that at the end so we can say we talked about it because you mentioned
UCL and then we'll say fuck everyone else.
Talk all the other country.
We whooped your ass.
Get fucked.
All right.
(37:53):
That's the bottom line.
Gold medal.
We're the fucking.
