A big strikeout just closes the top of the seventh
for the phillies. They have been threatening the last couple
of inning. They cannot break through. It is still five
five phillies in the astros going to the bottom of
(01:07):
the seventh th inning. Phillies. No. See, it's no. So
now you're embracing that. That's fine. That's fine because I'm
not rooting for the Phillies. I told you, I'm not.
I can't. I can't any I mean they got an
easy out to start the bottom of the seven because
Altuve starts it off easy out, no hitter, no hitter,
(01:28):
no better hair moving on in. Outfielders are playing on
the clay. Oh yeah, it's not gonna get it hit.
You don't have the buzzer anymore. You can't do it.
What do you mean, Wow, Jason, you're the only guy
rooting for him. I'm not. I'm not playing. I'm rooting
against the Phillies. I'm not rooting for which means you're
rooting for the Astros. If you're rooting against the Phillies,
that it means. No, it means I'm more anti Philadelphia
(01:53):
than I am anti Houston. Because I'm anti Astros, obviously,
but because of the Philly being the Mets rival and
another team in the n E last in the World Series,
I can't. I can't. I'm I'm more anti Phillies. And
I want to say this because remember as much as
an anti Phillies, I told you Jalen Hurts was gonna
win the m v P before the season and the
Eagles were going to the Super Bowl. So remember I
(02:14):
said that before I get all the hate mail from Philadelphia.
I had your back, Bear and the Eagles are more
important than the Phillies, So I have I have that
right now. I did say that, So you can't. You
can't hate me too much because I did say that
before the season about the Eagles and Jalen Hurts, you did,
so yeah, it's it's it's a weird world we're living in. Man,
(02:39):
oh man, I'll tell you. Uh So, we'll have more
on this game throughout the night again, bottom of the
seventh inning. We're going to This game started sometime in
the late nineteen nineties and we are in the middle
of the seventh inning right now, Game one of the
World Series. But the biggest sports story of the day,
And and I I gotta admit I was kind of
shocked to find out it was done. Tom eighty and
(03:00):
Gazelle Bunching are divorced, like no long term. Hey, they're
gonna meet with with lawyers and back and forth. We
had heard the stories and in page six in the
New York Post, all throughout the last couple of weeks,
it's all been They're dug in. The lawyers have been hired,
and you figure, okay, with Tom and Giselle, how long
is it gonna take these guys? You know, the two
(03:21):
of them are each worth half a billion dollars. The
dividing up assets, No, it's done. So that's the first
thing I want to say is I was really surprised
to find out this is not hey, we're getting a divorce.
This is it's done. They're divorced, like it's over. Paperwork
is done, everything is fine filed and everything else. So
now you know this is something that was going on
for a long time. This wasn't necessarily hey this summer. Well,
(03:43):
now when you get when you're married thirteen years and
and and you have that, I can tell you from
experience that don't have. Yeah, but but you're talking about
two people that are worth five million dollars a piece
and there and then there's a few uh sundry items
they have to split. If it was that easy, I'd
be a lawyer. But I I think with Brady and Gells.
(04:03):
But I'm what I'm saying is they could be an
outlier and it can go down quickly. Not everything is
the War of the Roses. No, that's, oh my god,
war of the Roses. What a great movie that was.
I'm gonna go I can't say that I had I
had the whole fish seene ready. I'm gonna go to
the kitchen. Yeah, yeah, no. But it's just just say like,
(04:25):
if there is just not the level of acrimony, and
take what you will from their public statements. You know,
folks want to dissect add pictures of Pete Davidson and
be disrespectful and every last bit of it. You know
that that you could have come to a place where
legitimately it was all right, we tried, this, didn't work.
(04:45):
Let's do this as quickly and as cleanly as we
can and it can happen fast. You know. The thing
the there's a couple of big things right away that
that hit me and a little bit different than some
of the stuff you've heard people talking about all day.
The first thing is really is that when I see
this divorce and I say this to myself all the time,
(05:07):
you know, living in l A, living in Hollywood the
last years, I can't believe any star couples are able
to stay married. And I don't just mean like you know,
a star and somebody else. Uh, you know, if someone's
a star and they marry someone that they met through friends.
Know when you were talking about two stars, and you
(05:27):
see it all the time, Like we love reading and
hearing about relationships between stars when they're dating, whether it's
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian or anybody. I always say
to myself, there's a shelf life on these relationships. And
I can't believe. I'm stunned that Tom Brady and Gazelle
Bunchen made it thirteen years. Because there's any stars that
(05:47):
wind up meeting each other and getting together. It's different
than just hey, two people meeting and now we we
we figure out things with our careers. We make things
work right. I do what I do for a living.
You do what you do for a thing. But we
love each other. We're gonna get married. These are stars
that are coming into any relationship with their professional career,
(06:08):
what they have worked for tirelessly on their entire life,
their entire The number one thing I have is my job.
And yeah, okay, people have that coming up with their job.
But when your job enables you to be a multimillionaire
and you're incredibly famous and suddenly it's it's more than
just Hey, I'm an executive at a bank and I
make a decent living. You know, it's this is the
(06:31):
number one thing in my life. And I have to
treat this as the number one thing in my life
because I like this career. I like being a star.
I like being the best quarterback in NFL history, which
means I need to be able to study more than
everybody else. I'm getting all these things. I need that
edges ll bunch and hey, I'm the most famous supermodel
in the world. I've had this huge career. My entire
(06:52):
life has been my career. It's got to be front
and center. So now, when you have two superstars meet
and they get together, how can they really stay together?
How does that mesh when not one but both people
in a relationship say well, hey I love you, I
love you. But you know, when it comes to it,
my career, I really have to choose that. And all
(07:12):
the reports we have seen with what's going on with
the two of them was Brady chose football. Giselle wanted
Brady to choose family so she could go back and
have more of a career. What she had, what she's
what she It's been reported she has given up to
be home with the kids and be raising the family
while Tom Brady is playing football. So now, look, there's
a lot of stuff that went on behind closed doors
that we're never gonna know. You know, how much did
(07:34):
Tom Brady promise I'm going to give up football then
he didn't? You know what was it? Something that was
always coming, was something Giselle Bunchen hoped for. But in
the in the end, it's Brady has a career and
he wants to stick with it. Giselle Bunchen has a
career and she wants to get back to it. That's
kind of where everything is, no matter how you can
shake it all up. It's these two people love each other,
(07:55):
have kids, everything is great, but they both have careers
that they want and Brady wants to continue. Is because
he's on a career that nobody we've seen in NFL
history has at g l Bunch in a career that
you know, Look, I'm the most famous supermodel in the world,
and I've given up time. I can get back to that,
and I want to do that now. So that's why
it's so hard that I see any stars getting together.
There's gonna be a shelf life on it. I'm amazed
(08:16):
it when thirteen years, I'm amazed it as But when
you come into that relationship and and yeah, my my
professional life is just as important, if not more important.
I don't know how you stay together. Yeah, I mean
the hard part is you know all the the gray
in between, right, because what's reported on page six is,
you know, one extreme of the story and then another
(08:39):
tabloid TMZ pick your others. They they've got something that
might be on the other side, or whether they're connected
in the end. You know, you don't know what the agreements.
You know, then they committed to paper no ian in theory,
like Brady's defied all odds playing as long as he has,
so there might have been at point all right, I'm
(09:01):
gonna try to get the forty and then forty cam
and he's still playing well, so you kick it down
the line. And and this could be for anything for
anybody out there, whether you're a star or not. You
may have agreements of how your jobs, what your role
is in the household, and which things you do with
the kids, slapping them around, or you know what, what
(09:22):
a million different things that go into making you know,
the relationships work, and and that everybody feels whole. Things change,
people change, priorities change, all of that goes. What's good
in year one isn't in good in year five is
inconceivable in year ten. You know, relationship to relationship and
(09:44):
that that's star power or not. But to your point
about you know the shelf life, Yeah, retirements long. I
mean Brady's watched twenty two years of guys that he
played with just in the NFL go off into retirement,
trying to fig you're out. What's next? Now? Everybody can
say he's got a huge contract with Fox. Is that
going to get him the same juice internally in his brain?
(10:08):
Make all that work, producing n f t s and
hanging out on autograph and all that stuff. Yeah, that's cool.
The Brady brand, it's all fun TB twelve and the
marketing and merchandising and all. It's not the same juice
is leading your team down the field, screaming at an
offensive lineman after he missed a block, getting back under center,
tapping him up on the upside the head after he
(10:29):
makes a block to give you an extra second to
complete a throw down. Feel all of that, it's tough
to replace. And for Gisele Bunch and I'm sure with
her career, same thing. Travel, lifestyle, the people you meet,
the places you go, uh, the the other models and
executives and and people up and down the food chain
in that business that you meet. Yeah, there's something missing,
(10:50):
something lost in that. So trying to figure out heads
or tails of of where they're tacit agreements were and
how things changed and feelings got changed or hurt along
the process. I mean, it's just the humanity of it
that for me. I hope everybody pauses, you know, and
that we do this more regularly with stories like this
(11:13):
that come to the forefront, because every one of these
guys on the field, every woman on the field, for
the sports that we enjoy, they are they all have
personal lives, and we forget that they're not just fantasy
people to move in and out of lineups and statistics
on the back of a baseball curd, Twitter and how

five of a piece. We will have more on this
game coming up throughout the night. Five zip Astros gave
(14:07):
away the lead. So now the Phillies, the resilient Phillies,
are hoping to steal Game one of the World Series.
Joining us now on the hotline, he has a Pro
Football Hall of Fame voter. He has a longtime NFL
inside to check him out on out Kick. He is
(14:29):
Jason Cole, who right now is working on frantically redoing
his rankings for the season and finding a way to
put the New York Jets in the top ten. Ja Cole,
what's happening, buddy? How are you? Oh man? Jets are
number one? Yeah, buddy, team and with the Bears not
(14:51):
so closely behind Bears. Hey, big resounding victory against a
New England team that's gonna beat the Jets this week
So that's okay, really it's supposed to good. Wait a second, yeah,
that's right. You really think that New England team, based
on what we saw the other night, is ready to
(15:12):
beat anybody these days, like you know, having the Jet
it is the Jets, It is the Jets that well, look,
I know it's fully capable of happening. But when you're again,
when you're starting Frank Zappa, you've got some problems. Unless
she's going to break out the whole, the whole like
(15:34):
side a sheik your booty, um, you know like that
that could work out. Oh that's right, buddy is happy.
I'm never mind. I thought you said the great kabuki
as if we were going back to world class championship wrestling.
So I mean there's all sorts of stuff going on
in there. Oh, absolutely, kabuki, siker booty that actually you
know with how how how ridiculously racist would be considered
(15:59):
if Frank's Appa were to do the cover of that
in today's world where he dressed up as a chic
on the cover of that. But yeah, that wouldn't that
wouldn't play well, that wouldn't don't think so, I really
don't think so, I see I thought you could sit
here with your rankings of the I think you're gonna
go like, what what? What are the rankings of the
Zappa family is Dweezel number one is moon Unit Zappa
(16:22):
is one? Well, I mean Frank is one. Okay, the progenitor,
the progenitor is one. But can't move. Yeah, get the
word progenitor in. So you guys, absolutely, you gotta work
progenitor into every conversation. So Sarah, like, Robert sala is
the progenitor of New York right now? Yes he is.
Look how Look how good the Jets are. Look how
(16:44):
good the Jets are. Look how good we are. It's awesome,
it's look at are you not entertained? Just in time
for Zach Wilson to throw four picks on Sunday? And
it's what happened? Does it? Just in time? Just? Hey?
(17:04):
So look we we We spent some time talking about
the Brady situation a few minutes ago, and now the
divorce with Giselle is finalize, it's done. Uh. Look, I
always say, show me a guy going through a divorce,
and I'll show you a guy having an awful season.
And while Brady has not had an awful season. It's
not quite been what we've expected to get from him.
(17:26):
But he's Look, he's not been Look, look he's not like,
you know, five touchdowns, thirteen picks. He's still you know,
he's still playing okay, but he's not having a good
Do you expect an uptick from him now that this
at least you know professionally, that this is a story
that he can put behind him go forward, that things
(17:46):
might change for him now going you know ahead the
rest of the year. Is that offensive line any better? So? Um,
like this is the thing we like to twist everything too. Oh,
there's just a solution around the corner. And everybody, Look
at how fast Brady gets with the ball, and look
(18:09):
at how quick he is, and he's even quicker than before.
That's because he's throwing the ball to avoid getting killed, right,
And that doesn't make for a functional offense, right, It
means that you're playing you're playing offense in a shoe
box basically the way that's what they did. Now they
succeeded for one drive um to open the game yesterday
(18:30):
and then yeah, Baltimore Fire and in Baltimore is not
very good defensively, right, it's just aren't. But they figured
it out in a hurry and said, okay, well we'll
take all this stuff away and we'll press them up
and you know, force him to force him to throw
a couple of balls deepening. He got close on a
couple of balls. But like they just they can't develop route.
(18:53):
He can't go through progressions right now because there's just
no structure because of the you know, the foundation of
the offense is a Now it can get fixed, um,
not easily, but it can get fixed if they can
get healthy on the offensive line. I just don't you know,
I don't see it happening real fast. Now. The fortunate
(19:14):
part for them is nobody's ain't good in that decision,
so they could win that division at eight nine and
you know, it's finally, finally, Kirk curb Street like made
one point in the entire you know, it came in
like minute fifty five of the game, but he made
a sailing at point. My god, you know, for a
(19:35):
guy who's so good at football, and you know, when
he's talking about the college game, it's just unbelievable how
dull he is talking about the hip and and I
just like, is it just because it's not in his wheelhouse,
and he's like it's kind of forcing himself to do
it and doesn't really have a passion for it. But
he just doesn't sound like he's all that interested. And
(19:56):
I think it doesn't help that Al doesn't want to
be there, and it's palpable from the moment that they
come on air. Al doesn't want to be next to him. Basically, no,
I think I think I would rather be at home.
But he had a big enough paycheck and was convinced
to show up. I'll still I'll still puts in the work, though,
I'll fake fakes it pretty good. But sus nice to say, right,
(20:18):
like Kirk Herbstreet cannot fake it. And but he made
one point and again it came with like five minutes
less than the game. It's like, well, you know, the
way the division is going, they could win this thing
with a losing record. Yeah, that's right, that's why they
You know, their fans shouldn't totally freak out. The problem
is like, is this a team that can go on
(20:40):
the road and win, but they may win the division?
That would get them through one game, right and make
it a little bit easier. And the NFC is not
so hostile, like there's nobody in the NFC that like
scares you at this point in time. Now you know
that it still he was playing really good football. But
you know again, they don't scare you. The Giants don't
(21:02):
really scare anybody. I think Dallas defensively is really really good.
But in San Francisco they could really get together. But
that's a lot of ifs and maybe nobody who's there.
Ain't no Buffalo or Kansas City that way, or the Jets.
No Jets in there either, there's no there's no Jet.
There's absolutely no Jets in the NFC. They'd be the
(21:24):
best team in the NFC. You put the Jets that
they'd be the best team. Is that with or without
Breeze Hall. No, I'm gonna have them. No, I'm an
Elijah Vera Tucker. I'm petitioning in to have them switch
with the Giants so the Jets can go to the
kraftastic NFC and the Giants can go on the loaded
up a FC. I don't know you always wanted a
(21:46):
bad division? Do you want to? I can send your
Gooddell's email, you can you can go to him correctly,
our Goodell at three, four or five Park Avenue. Alright, great,
got it? Said that? And while I've got your ear,
there a list of cowboys. He calls himself the Raja.
(22:08):
Could you imagine I am the Raja? You will, you will?
You will absolutely address me as the Raja. And that's it.
Oh okay, okay, that sounds good. Now he's doing a
Laddin Azers Halloween theme. Okay, I why do we don't
Why do we not give more carries to Telibert? Why
do we give given the ball to Ezekiel Elliott? Jaffa, Jaffa,
(22:31):
Why is this happening? Why can't we just split him evenly?
You have a little bit like Johnny Most on that one,
So Johnny most channels just enter Gilbert Godfrey. Al idea.
It's a lot closer to Johnny Most than Gilbert Godfrey.
I gotta tell you that that's actually a pretty good Gilbert.
Do you know you are just anti every impression I have,
(22:54):
which are all good ones, because like this, I don't
like this. I don't like this. Ry Jones is not good,
the Bourman is not good. The brad Children's isn't good.
Oh though, I don't like any of the presidents you have.
They're all bad. Yes, you're not good. You're not You're
not good. You're no, you just you just don't. You
just don't know. Funny. I'm still funny. You are You
(23:18):
are the Josh Hader of this of this show. I am. Yes,
if I could grow hair like that though, that would
be impressive. That would be I have that walk in
that room to cast your votes for the Hall of Fame.
I have such a huge head that if you put
that kind of of shag, I mean I would look
like I had a size eighteen head if I had
(23:39):
Josh Hayter's hair, hair style. Who is this hippie about
to vote for the Hall of Fame that wants Roger
Stall back out? Who is that guy? I don't even
know he's channeling there, James? You know look like a
really bad Is that like Jerry Jones mixed with Michael Caine? No,
(24:00):
that was Michael Kaine speaks through his nose like this.
He gets very specific and when it gets loudly, it
gets loud and date right now, Um No, that was
more just my you know hey people, which is Steve
Coogan doing Michael Kaine? Don't know the refreshon of Steve
Coogan doing Michael Caine the rails. The rails have completely
(24:20):
come off. That's why I was trying to get it
back to football and some rudamentary form. Michael can used
to talk like this in the nineteen sixties, right, but
that has changed and over the years with the cigars
and the brandy Michael Caine. Uh no, I was just
doing my Hey, this is what people and things sound
like when we're discussing voting for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame. I don't know. And you made the guy
(24:42):
ninety five years old. I remember back when the single
wing was getting We still have to get Jay Berwanger in.
Best is watching all the guys everybody on the zoom call,
because now you can see everybody's face. We used to
be in like a youth formation. See he couldn't see
every single person, but now you can see the people
(25:02):
who are like nodding off in the middle of the
meeting after about wait a minute's out of the Hall
of Fame. How did that happen? He fell asleep? Clearly
that's a no. I guess the message is not getting through,
is it. Well, that's next level stuff right there, all right? Um, well,
(25:28):
let's go. You mentioned the forty Niners before, Deebo Samuel
out this week, McCaffrey comes in last week, limited role,
a lot of injuries on this squad. Rams, who I
don't know that anybody is saying how good they are,
but hey, they got a whole half of football still
still to play. I mean, how did for this week?
What do you see on the field? But long term,
(25:51):
you know, Ken San Francisco figure out the offense on
a larger scale. Well, I mean, look, from a strategic standpoint,
the forty Niners owned the Ram like they just we
all know that, and and probably the Rams again, the
Rams wouldn't win a Super Bowl if somebody could hold
onto an interception in the NFC Championship game last year.
(26:12):
But yeah, that aside, Like if the Rams are ever
going to kind of get it together and say we
are the champions and we want to, you know, make
another run, it starts has to start happening now because
they've played such awful football. Um, and even if they
(26:32):
win this Sunday, I'm not sure I really trust them
to continue because I just think mentally this team has
sort of said, you know, oh yeah, we we showed
everything we had last year, and you know, all right,
we'll put on a couple of put on a couple
of moments, but they're not built mentally to grind out
of season. They just that's just not where they are
(26:54):
right at this point in time. So I would side
was saying, Okay, the forty Niners should win this game,
as they've won all the other previous matchups. I just
wonder if if the Rams have enough to make this
a game at home, which puts the forty and even
further out on a cliff in terms of where they
are put Again, I come back to look at the
(27:16):
entire NFC West. Are you really believing in Gina Smith?
I mean, I know that all that training that he
got from the Jets from those days made him the
contender that he is now, But yeah, but not not
buying it. Okay, Like there's not not seeing Seattle and
(27:38):
Gino Smith raising the NFC West Crown the flag along
with the twelfth Man at that's at their whatever they
named their stadium these days. Um yeah, I'm just not
really buying that. Um So, I think that that division
is still wide open, which means ultimately I think San
(27:58):
Francisco's best team once they fig year at McCaffrey, once
they get anybody healthy, but the once they get everybody healthy,
and it's been a couple of years since they've gotten
everybody healthy at the same time. I mean, they weren't healthy,
you know, most of the last year, right, and they
just happened to catch fire at the right time. They
weren't happy, They certainly weren't weren't healthy the year before.
(28:19):
Now they were very healthy the year that they went
went to the Super Bowl, and everything fell into place.
I will also say this for McCaffrey, though, I think
he puts a lot of pressure back on Garoppolo, where
Garoppolo now knows, okay, Shanahan is doing everything he can
(28:40):
to help me, Like he can't sit there and make
the argument, well, you know, Shannigan wanted me out of here,
so I'm just you know, biding my time and try
and make it work. Once they make the trade for McCaffrey,
it's like, oh, I'm better performed here, Like because they're
making my job as easy as possible for me to
(29:02):
be great and possibly get to the Super Bowl. They're
doing it by going out and getting a guy like McCaffrey.
So I think that that helps them sort of reunite.
Compassionate for Garoppolo, who certainly was not into this idea
of playing for them the game this year. He's on
Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two, That is, at Jason
Cole sixty two, Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, longtime

(32:05):
This is one of my favorite print songs. It's a
good song. Hey you want a party? Oh yeah, I
always want a party with friends. Yeah. I got friends
that are sending me pictures from Chicago, from New York,
all at their Halloween costume parties. And and in the background,
there's been a lot of random randomness of Prince Prince
(32:26):
or Prince Craig Way for Prince Ali, but again going back,
going to the earlier conversation, there's there's certain costumes that
probably it's it's not as acceptable to walk around in
You can't show up, even on Halloween flying into a
(32:47):
party as yourself. Damn right you can. Yeah, that shouldn't
be frowned upon at all. Make well, all right? The
question I wanted to ask, it's concerning this Bay small game.
Now we're one out, bottom of the nine. Yeah, well,
I'm gonna go to SmackDown or a horror movie here
(33:08):
soon enough. But I want to know. Do they suspend
that dopey runner on second rule for the World Series? No? No, no,
actually they know they load the basis that's actually bad.
Do you start with bases loaded? That's what happened. They
put a trash can a second in Houston. Say it.
It's a rule that I have horror and I really
hate it when it comes down to a game like
(33:29):
this said, you know, just tie, you might get a hit.
So Mike and I do this every single week. We
are a big upset special picks for the week in
the National Football League. I'm eleven and six so far
this season, so I'm feeling pretty good. I'm gonna kick
(33:50):
things off right now, and I'm gonna I can't believe
the game. I'm gonna pick the first one, but I
really like it. Let's go give me Carolina getting four
and a half over Atlanta. They are like riding a
wave right now with p J. Walker and no McCaffrey trades.
They don't matter. They ran the ball well against a
great defense last week. Cuba's defeated though he's not right either,
(34:13):
but it doesn't doesn't seem to matter. Mccaffman doesn't matter,
right And but now black sear is gonna have a
big role on Sunday. Doesn't matter like that, you know,
you've got the next man up mentality. But they realize
they're supposed to lose, right Yeah, but they have a
little thing going on there that no, we don't and
we don't have to and and we're sticking with Walker.
Atlanta is gonna come back to the pack of bad teams.
(34:35):
Like they don't realize they're bad right now, but they
will very soon. This is a bad football team. So yeah,
give give me Carolina because they're riding a little something something.
I'll take them on the field, but I'm not going
to turn away the four and a half points. See,
I like going uh next level in terms of opponents
that are on the schedule. Give me, I'm I'm going
big game hunting with Arizona getting three and a half.
(34:58):
Originally the line was set at plus and a half,
but on the road getting three and a half at
Minnesota with the return of DeAndre Hopkins fourteen targets week one,
ten catches looking for him, looking for ron Dale Moore,
looking for some fireworks against that Vikings defense, and eventually
Kirk Cousins has to give us a Kirk Cousins performance.
(35:18):
Does he think? Does it he? And this is it?
M hmmm, uh my second game I'm gonna give you
is and I'm again I'm surprised, but this is Jets. No, no, no, no, no,
no, no no, not gonna know. I'm we'll talk about two
and a half. No, I know. The Jets just scare
the hell out of no. No, give me, give me
(35:40):
the Rams getting too over the forty Niners, right, the
Rams had the week off, they had their heads cleared.
Sometimes it's the best thing. Garoppolo has not been good,
and that really concerns me about the forty Niners. He
just hasn't been the Rams seem to have his number.
The Rams offense that no cam Aker is. They will
(36:01):
figure it out. They will have a big day at
San Francisco, tries to figure out who they are, but
sometimes getting that week off. Hey, where the we're the
defending Super Bowl champions. We need some time? Now where
the hunted? Hey, now we know what we need to do.
We can hit that reset button. Give me the Rams
getting too over the forts. The return of Van Jefferson.
Can that sparks something in the offense where somebody besides
(36:22):
Cooper Cup and Tyler Higbee give you a little bit
of lift. They need to find a running game though
that that's really the the problem there. I'm gonna look
at the planet Houston and I like Tennessee overall, but
Ryan Tannehill added to the injury report means perhaps a
little bit limited and Houston Damian Pierce gonna be able
to run the football. And the scary thing though, is
(36:43):
Derrick Henry over two hundred yards and multiple touchdowns three
straight games, but still looking for Davis Mills to make
some plays and for Damian Pierce to get it plus three.
So there it is. There's our upset. Special picks of
the week in the National Football League. Twitter at how
about a Fresca? Mike gets swollen dome the Jason Smith's

A big strikeout just closes the top of the seventh
for the phillies. They have been threatening the last couple
of inning. They cannot break through. It is still five
five phillies in the astros going to the bottom of
(01:07):
the seventh th inning. Phillies. No. See, it's no. So
now you're embracing that. That's fine. That's fine because I'm
not rooting for the Phillies. I told you, I'm not.
I can't. I can't any I mean they got an
easy out to start the bottom of the seven because
Altuve starts it off easy out, no hitter, no hitter,
(01:28):
no better hair moving on in. Outfielders are playing on
the clay. Oh yeah, it's not gonna get it hit.
You don't have the buzzer anymore. You can't do it.
What do you mean, Wow, Jason, you're the only guy
rooting for him. I'm not. I'm not playing. I'm rooting
against the Phillies. I'm not rooting for which means you're
rooting for the Astros. If you're rooting against the Phillies,
that it means. No, it means I'm more anti Philadelphia
(01:53):
than I am anti Houston. Because I'm anti Astros, obviously,
but because of the Philly being the Mets rival and
another team in the n E last in the World Series,
I can't. I can't. I'm I'm more anti Phillies. And
I want to say this because remember as much as
an anti Phillies, I told you Jalen Hurts was gonna
win the m v P before the season and the
Eagles were going to the Super Bowl. So remember I
(02:14):
said that before I get all the hate mail from Philadelphia.
I had your back, Bear and the Eagles are more
important than the Phillies, So I have I have that
right now. I did say that, So you can't. You
can't hate me too much because I did say that
before the season about the Eagles and Jalen Hurts, you did,
so yeah, it's it's it's a weird world we're living in. Man,
(02:39):
oh man, I'll tell you. Uh So, we'll have more
on this game throughout the night again, bottom of the
seventh inning. We're going to This game started sometime in
the late nineteen nineties and we are in the middle
of the seventh inning right now, Game one of the
World Series. But the biggest sports story of the day,
And and I I gotta admit I was kind of
shocked to find out it was done. Tom eighty and
(03:00):
Gazelle Bunching are divorced, like no long term. Hey, they're
gonna meet with with lawyers and back and forth. We
had heard the stories and in page six in the
New York Post, all throughout the last couple of weeks,
it's all been They're dug in. The lawyers have been hired,
and you figure, okay, with Tom and Giselle, how long
is it gonna take these guys? You know, the two
(03:21):
of them are each worth half a billion dollars. The
dividing up assets, No, it's done. So that's the first
thing I want to say is I was really surprised
to find out this is not hey, we're getting a divorce.
This is it's done. They're divorced, like it's over. Paperwork
is done, everything is fine filed and everything else. So
now you know this is something that was going on
for a long time. This wasn't necessarily hey this summer. Well,
(03:43):
now when you get when you're married thirteen years and
and and you have that, I can tell you from
experience that don't have. Yeah, but but you're talking about
two people that are worth five million dollars a piece
and there and then there's a few uh sundry items
they have to split. If it was that easy, I'd
be a lawyer. But I I think with Brady and Gells.
(04:03):
But I'm what I'm saying is they could be an
outlier and it can go down quickly. Not everything is
the War of the Roses. No, that's, oh my god,
war of the Roses. What a great movie that was.
I'm gonna go I can't say that I had I
had the whole fish seene ready. I'm gonna go to
the kitchen. Yeah, yeah, no. But it's just just say like,
(04:25):
if there is just not the level of acrimony, and
take what you will from their public statements. You know,
folks want to dissect add pictures of Pete Davidson and
be disrespectful and every last bit of it. You know
that that you could have come to a place where
legitimately it was all right, we tried, this, didn't work.
(04:45):
Let's do this as quickly and as cleanly as we
can and it can happen fast. You know. The thing
the there's a couple of big things right away that
that hit me and a little bit different than some
of the stuff you've heard people talking about all day.
The first thing is really is that when I see
this divorce and I say this to myself all the time,
(05:07):
you know, living in l A, living in Hollywood the
last years, I can't believe any star couples are able
to stay married. And I don't just mean like you know,
a star and somebody else. Uh, you know, if someone's
a star and they marry someone that they met through friends.
Know when you were talking about two stars, and you
(05:27):
see it all the time, Like we love reading and
hearing about relationships between stars when they're dating, whether it's
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian or anybody. I always say
to myself, there's a shelf life on these relationships. And
I can't believe. I'm stunned that Tom Brady and Gazelle
Bunchen made it thirteen years. Because there's any stars that
(05:47):
wind up meeting each other and getting together. It's different
than just hey, two people meeting and now we we
we figure out things with our careers. We make things
work right. I do what I do for a living.
You do what you do for a thing. But we
love each other. We're gonna get married. These are stars
that are coming into any relationship with their professional career,
(06:08):
what they have worked for tirelessly on their entire life,
their entire The number one thing I have is my job.
And yeah, okay, people have that coming up with their job.
But when your job enables you to be a multimillionaire
and you're incredibly famous and suddenly it's it's more than
just Hey, I'm an executive at a bank and I
make a decent living. You know, it's this is the
(06:31):
number one thing in my life. And I have to
treat this as the number one thing in my life
because I like this career. I like being a star.
I like being the best quarterback in NFL history, which
means I need to be able to study more than
everybody else. I'm getting all these things. I need that
edges ll bunch and hey, I'm the most famous supermodel
in the world. I've had this huge career. My entire
(06:52):
life has been my career. It's got to be front
and center. So now, when you have two superstars meet
and they get together, how can they really stay together?
How does that mesh when not one but both people
in a relationship say well, hey I love you, I
love you. But you know, when it comes to it,
my career, I really have to choose that. And all
(07:12):
the reports we have seen with what's going on with
the two of them was Brady chose football. Giselle wanted
Brady to choose family so she could go back and
have more of a career. What she had, what she's
what she It's been reported she has given up to
be home with the kids and be raising the family
while Tom Brady is playing football. So now, look, there's
a lot of stuff that went on behind closed doors
that we're never gonna know. You know, how much did
(07:34):
Tom Brady promise I'm going to give up football then
he didn't? You know what was it? Something that was
always coming, was something Giselle Bunchen hoped for. But in
the in the end, it's Brady has a career and
he wants to stick with it. Giselle Bunchen has a
career and she wants to get back to it. That's
kind of where everything is, no matter how you can
shake it all up. It's these two people love each other,
(07:55):
have kids, everything is great, but they both have careers
that they want and Brady wants to continue. Is because
he's on a career that nobody we've seen in NFL
history has at g l Bunch in a career that
you know, Look, I'm the most famous supermodel in the world,
and I've given up time. I can get back to that,
and I want to do that now. So that's why
it's so hard that I see any stars getting together.
There's gonna be a shelf life on it. I'm amazed
(08:16):
it when thirteen years, I'm amazed it as But when
you come into that relationship and and yeah, my my
professional life is just as important, if not more important.
I don't know how you stay together. Yeah, I mean
the hard part is you know all the the gray
in between, right, because what's reported on page six is,
you know, one extreme of the story and then another
(08:39):
tabloid TMZ pick your others. They they've got something that
might be on the other side, or whether they're connected
in the end. You know, you don't know what the agreements.
You know, then they committed to paper no ian in theory,
like Brady's defied all odds playing as long as he has,
so there might have been at point all right, I'm
(09:01):
gonna try to get the forty and then forty cam
and he's still playing well, so you kick it down
the line. And and this could be for anything for
anybody out there, whether you're a star or not. You
may have agreements of how your jobs, what your role
is in the household, and which things you do with
the kids, slapping them around, or you know what, what
(09:22):
a million different things that go into making you know,
the relationships work, and and that everybody feels whole. Things change,
people change, priorities change, all of that goes. What's good
in year one isn't in good in year five is
inconceivable in year ten. You know, relationship to relationship and
(09:44):
that that's star power or not. But to your point
about you know the shelf life, Yeah, retirements long. I
mean Brady's watched twenty two years of guys that he
played with just in the NFL go off into retirement,
trying to fig you're out. What's next? Now? Everybody can
say he's got a huge contract with Fox. Is that
going to get him the same juice internally in his brain?
(10:08):
Make all that work, producing n f t s and
hanging out on autograph and all that stuff. Yeah, that's cool.
The Brady brand, it's all fun TB twelve and the
marketing and merchandising and all. It's not the same juice
is leading your team down the field, screaming at an
offensive lineman after he missed a block, getting back under center,
tapping him up on the upside the head after he
(10:29):
makes a block to give you an extra second to
complete a throw down. Feel all of that, it's tough
to replace. And for Gisele Bunch and I'm sure with
her career, same thing. Travel, lifestyle, the people you meet,
the places you go, uh, the the other models and
executives and and people up and down the food chain
in that business that you meet. Yeah, there's something missing,
(10:50):
something lost in that. So trying to figure out heads
or tails of of where they're tacit agreements were and
how things changed and feelings got changed or hurt along
the process. I mean, it's just the humanity of it
that for me. I hope everybody pauses, you know, and
that we do this more regularly with stories like this
(11:13):
that come to the forefront, because every one of these
guys on the field, every woman on the field, for
the sports that we enjoy, they are they all have
personal lives, and we forget that they're not just fantasy
people to move in and out of lineups and statistics

(14:07):
away the lead. So now the Phillies, the resilient Phillies,
are hoping to steal Game one of the World Series.
Joining us now on the hotline, he has a Pro
Football Hall of Fame voter. He has a longtime NFL
inside to check him out on out Kick. He is
(14:29):
Jason Cole, who right now is working on frantically redoing
his rankings for the season and finding a way to
put the New York Jets in the top ten. Ja Cole,
what's happening, buddy? How are you? Oh man? Jets are
number one? Yeah, buddy, team and with the Bears not
(14:51):
so closely behind Bears. Hey, big resounding victory against a
New England team that's gonna beat the Jets this week
So that's okay, really it's supposed to good. Wait a second, yeah,
that's right. You really think that New England team, based
on what we saw the other night, is ready to
(15:12):
beat anybody these days, like you know, having the Jet
it is the Jets, It is the Jets that well, look,
I know it's fully capable of happening. But when you're again,
when you're starting Frank Zappa, you've got some problems. Unless
she's going to break out the whole, the whole like
(15:34):
side a sheik your booty, um, you know like that
that could work out. Oh that's right, buddy is happy.
I'm never mind. I thought you said the great kabuki
as if we were going back to world class championship wrestling.
So I mean there's all sorts of stuff going on
in there. Oh, absolutely, kabuki, siker booty that actually you
know with how how how ridiculously racist would be considered
(15:59):
if Frank's Appa were to do the cover of that
in today's world where he dressed up as a chic
on the cover of that. But yeah, that wouldn't that
wouldn't play well, that wouldn't don't think so, I really
don't think so, I see I thought you could sit
here with your rankings of the I think you're gonna
go like, what what? What are the rankings of the
Zappa family is Dweezel number one is moon Unit Zappa
(16:22):
is one? Well, I mean Frank is one. Okay, the progenitor,
the progenitor is one. But can't move. Yeah, get the
word progenitor in. So you guys, absolutely, you gotta work
progenitor into every conversation. So Sarah, like, Robert sala is
the progenitor of New York right now? Yes he is.
Look how Look how good the Jets are. Look how
(16:44):
good the Jets are. Look how good we are. It's awesome,
it's look at are you not entertained? Just in time
for Zach Wilson to throw four picks on Sunday? And
it's what happened? Does it? Just in time? Just? Hey?
(17:04):
So look we we We spent some time talking about
the Brady situation a few minutes ago, and now the
divorce with Giselle is finalize, it's done. Uh. Look, I
always say, show me a guy going through a divorce,
and I'll show you a guy having an awful season.
And while Brady has not had an awful season. It's
not quite been what we've expected to get from him.
(17:26):
But he's Look, he's not been Look, look he's not like,
you know, five touchdowns, thirteen picks. He's still you know,
he's still playing okay, but he's not having a good
Do you expect an uptick from him now that this
at least you know professionally, that this is a story
that he can put behind him go forward, that things
(17:46):
might change for him now going you know ahead the
rest of the year. Is that offensive line any better? So? Um,
like this is the thing we like to twist everything too. Oh,
there's just a solution around the corner. And everybody, Look
at how fast Brady gets with the ball, and look
(18:09):
at how quick he is, and he's even quicker than before.
That's because he's throwing the ball to avoid getting killed, right,
And that doesn't make for a functional offense, right, It
means that you're playing you're playing offense in a shoe
box basically the way that's what they did. Now they
succeeded for one drive um to open the game yesterday
(18:30):
and then yeah, Baltimore Fire and in Baltimore is not
very good defensively, right, it's just aren't. But they figured
it out in a hurry and said, okay, well we'll
take all this stuff away and we'll press them up
and you know, force him to force him to throw
a couple of balls deepening. He got close on a
couple of balls. But like they just they can't develop route.
(18:53):
He can't go through progressions right now because there's just
no structure because of the you know, the foundation of
the offense is a Now it can get fixed, um,
not easily, but it can get fixed if they can
get healthy on the offensive line. I just don't you know,
I don't see it happening real fast. Now. The fortunate
(19:14):
part for them is nobody's ain't good in that decision,
so they could win that division at eight nine and
you know, it's finally, finally, Kirk curb Street like made
one point in the entire you know, it came in
like minute fifty five of the game, but he made
a sailing at point. My god, you know, for a
(19:35):
guy who's so good at football, and you know, when
he's talking about the college game, it's just unbelievable how
dull he is talking about the hip and and I
just like, is it just because it's not in his wheelhouse,
and he's like it's kind of forcing himself to do
it and doesn't really have a passion for it. But
he just doesn't sound like he's all that interested. And
(19:56):
I think it doesn't help that Al doesn't want to
be there, and it's palpable from the moment that they
come on air. Al doesn't want to be next to him. Basically, no,
I think I think I would rather be at home.
But he had a big enough paycheck and was convinced
to show up. I'll still I'll still puts in the work, though,
I'll fake fakes it pretty good. But sus nice to say, right,
(20:18):
like Kirk Herbstreet cannot fake it. And but he made
one point and again it came with like five minutes
less than the game. It's like, well, you know, the
way the division is going, they could win this thing
with a losing record. Yeah, that's right, that's why they
You know, their fans shouldn't totally freak out. The problem
is like, is this a team that can go on
(20:40):
the road and win, but they may win the division?
That would get them through one game, right and make
it a little bit easier. And the NFC is not
so hostile, like there's nobody in the NFC that like
scares you at this point in time. Now you know
that it still he was playing really good football. But
you know again, they don't scare you. The Giants don't
(21:02):
really scare anybody. I think Dallas defensively is really really good.
But in San Francisco they could really get together. But
that's a lot of ifs and maybe nobody who's there.
Ain't no Buffalo or Kansas City that way, or the Jets.
No Jets in there either, there's no there's no Jet.
There's absolutely no Jets in the NFC. They'd be the
(21:24):
best team in the NFC. You put the Jets that
they'd be the best team. Is that with or without
Breeze Hall. No, I'm gonna have them. No, I'm an
Elijah Vera Tucker. I'm petitioning in to have them switch
with the Giants so the Jets can go to the
kraftastic NFC and the Giants can go on the loaded
up a FC. I don't know you always wanted a
(21:46):
bad division? Do you want to? I can send your
Gooddell's email, you can you can go to him correctly,
our Goodell at three, four or five Park Avenue. Alright, great,
got it? Said that? And while I've got your ear,
there a list of cowboys. He calls himself the Raja.
(22:08):
Could you imagine I am the Raja? You will, you will?
You will absolutely address me as the Raja. And that's it.
Oh okay, okay, that sounds good. Now he's doing a
Laddin Azers Halloween theme. Okay, I why do we don't
Why do we not give more carries to Telibert? Why
do we give given the ball to Ezekiel Elliott? Jaffa, Jaffa,
(22:31):
Why is this happening? Why can't we just split him evenly?
You have a little bit like Johnny Most on that one,
So Johnny most channels just enter Gilbert Godfrey. Al idea.
It's a lot closer to Johnny Most than Gilbert Godfrey.
I gotta tell you that that's actually a pretty good Gilbert.
Do you know you are just anti every impression I have,
(22:54):
which are all good ones, because like this, I don't
like this. I don't like this. Ry Jones is not good,
the Bourman is not good. The brad Children's isn't good.
Oh though, I don't like any of the presidents you have.
They're all bad. Yes, you're not good. You're not You're
not good. You're no, you just you just don't. You
just don't know. Funny. I'm still funny. You are You
(23:18):
are the Josh Hader of this of this show. I am. Yes,
if I could grow hair like that though, that would
be impressive. That would be I have that walk in
that room to cast your votes for the Hall of Fame.
I have such a huge head that if you put
that kind of of shag, I mean I would look
like I had a size eighteen head if I had
(23:39):
Josh Hayter's hair, hair style. Who is this hippie about
to vote for the Hall of Fame that wants Roger
Stall back out? Who is that guy? I don't even
know he's channeling there, James? You know look like a
really bad Is that like Jerry Jones mixed with Michael Caine? No,
(24:00):
that was Michael Kaine speaks through his nose like this.
He gets very specific and when it gets loudly, it
gets loud and date right now, Um No, that was
more just my you know hey people, which is Steve
Coogan doing Michael Kaine? Don't know the refreshon of Steve
Coogan doing Michael Caine the rails. The rails have completely
(24:20):
come off. That's why I was trying to get it
back to football and some rudamentary form. Michael can used
to talk like this in the nineteen sixties, right, but
that has changed and over the years with the cigars
and the brandy Michael Caine. Uh no, I was just
doing my Hey, this is what people and things sound
like when we're discussing voting for the Pro Football Hall
of Fame. I don't know. And you made the guy
(24:42):
ninety five years old. I remember back when the single
wing was getting We still have to get Jay Berwanger in.
Best is watching all the guys everybody on the zoom call,
because now you can see everybody's face. We used to
be in like a youth formation. See he couldn't see
every single person, but now you can see the people
(25:02):
who are like nodding off in the middle of the
meeting after about wait a minute's out of the Hall
of Fame. How did that happen? He fell asleep? Clearly
that's a no. I guess the message is not getting through,
is it. Well, that's next level stuff right there, all right? Um, well,
(25:28):
let's go. You mentioned the forty Niners before, Deebo Samuel
out this week, McCaffrey comes in last week, limited role,
a lot of injuries on this squad. Rams, who I
don't know that anybody is saying how good they are,
but hey, they got a whole half of football still
still to play. I mean, how did for this week?
What do you see on the field? But long term,
(25:51):
you know, Ken San Francisco figure out the offense on
a larger scale. Well, I mean, look, from a strategic standpoint,
the forty Niners owned the Ram like they just we
all know that, and and probably the Rams again, the
Rams wouldn't win a Super Bowl if somebody could hold
onto an interception in the NFC Championship game last year.
(26:12):
But yeah, that aside, Like if the Rams are ever
going to kind of get it together and say we
are the champions and we want to, you know, make
another run, it starts has to start happening now because
they've played such awful football. Um, and even if they
(26:32):
win this Sunday, I'm not sure I really trust them
to continue because I just think mentally this team has
sort of said, you know, oh yeah, we we showed
everything we had last year, and you know, all right,
we'll put on a couple of put on a couple
of moments, but they're not built mentally to grind out
of season. They just that's just not where they are
(26:54):
right at this point in time. So I would side
was saying, Okay, the forty Niners should win this game,
as they've won all the other previous matchups. I just
wonder if if the Rams have enough to make this
a game at home, which puts the forty and even
further out on a cliff in terms of where they
are put Again, I come back to look at the
(27:16):
entire NFC West. Are you really believing in Gina Smith?
I mean, I know that all that training that he
got from the Jets from those days made him the
contender that he is now, But yeah, but not not
buying it. Okay, Like there's not not seeing Seattle and
(27:38):
Gino Smith raising the NFC West Crown the flag along
with the twelfth Man at that's at their whatever they
named their stadium these days. Um yeah, I'm just not
really buying that. Um So, I think that that division
is still wide open, which means ultimately I think San
(27:58):
Francisco's best team once they fig year at McCaffrey, once
they get anybody healthy, but the once they get everybody healthy,
and it's been a couple of years since they've gotten
everybody healthy at the same time. I mean, they weren't healthy,
you know, most of the last year, right, and they
just happened to catch fire at the right time. They
weren't happy, They certainly weren't weren't healthy the year before.
(28:19):
Now they were very healthy the year that they went
went to the Super Bowl, and everything fell into place.
I will also say this for McCaffrey, though, I think
he puts a lot of pressure back on Garoppolo, where
Garoppolo now knows, okay, Shanahan is doing everything he can
(28:40):
to help me, Like he can't sit there and make
the argument, well, you know, Shannigan wanted me out of here,
so I'm just you know, biding my time and try
and make it work. Once they make the trade for McCaffrey,
it's like, oh, I'm better performed here, Like because they're
making my job as easy as possible for me to
(29:02):
be great and possibly get to the Super Bowl. They're
doing it by going out and getting a guy like McCaffrey.
So I think that that helps them sort of reunite.
Compassionate for Garoppolo, who certainly was not into this idea
of playing for them the game this year. He's on
Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two, That is, at Jason
Cole sixty two, Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, longtime

my impressions are bad. I tell you they're awful. My
impressions are you live in a world where you think
that's actually good. I'm not gonna respond to that. That's

(32:05):
This is one of my favorite print songs. It's a
good song. Hey you want a party? Oh yeah, I
always want a party with friends. Yeah. I got friends
that are sending me pictures from Chicago, from New York,
all at their Halloween costume parties. And and in the background,
there's been a lot of random randomness of Prince Prince
(32:26):
or Prince Craig Way for Prince Ali, but again going back,
going to the earlier conversation, there's there's certain costumes that
probably it's it's not as acceptable to walk around in
You can't show up, even on Halloween flying into a
(32:47):
party as yourself. Damn right you can. Yeah, that shouldn't
be frowned upon at all. Make well, all right? The
question I wanted to ask, it's concerning this Bay small game.
Now we're one out, bottom of the nine. Yeah, well,
I'm gonna go to SmackDown or a horror movie here
(33:08):
soon enough. But I want to know. Do they suspend
that dopey runner on second rule for the World Series? No? No, no,
actually they know they load the basis that's actually bad.
Do you start with bases loaded? That's what happened. They
put a trash can a second in Houston. Say it.
It's a rule that I have horror and I really
hate it when it comes down to a game like
(33:29):
this said, you know, just tie, you might get a hit.
So Mike and I do this every single week. We
are a big upset special picks for the week in
the National Football League. I'm eleven and six so far
this season, so I'm feeling pretty good. I'm gonna kick
(33:50):
things off right now, and I'm gonna I can't believe
the game. I'm gonna pick the first one, but I
really like it. Let's go give me Carolina getting four
and a half over Atlanta. They are like riding a
wave right now with p J. Walker and no McCaffrey trades.
They don't matter. They ran the ball well against a
great defense last week. Cuba's defeated though he's not right either,
(34:13):
but it doesn't doesn't seem to matter. Mccaffman doesn't matter,
right And but now black sear is gonna have a
big role on Sunday. Doesn't matter like that, you know,
you've got the next man up mentality. But they realize
they're supposed to lose, right Yeah, but they have a
little thing going on there that no, we don't and
we don't have to and and we're sticking with Walker.
Atlanta is gonna come back to the pack of bad teams.
(34:35):
Like they don't realize they're bad right now, but they
will very soon. This is a bad football team. So yeah,
give give me Carolina because they're riding a little something something.
I'll take them on the field, but I'm not going
to turn away the four and a half points. See,
I like going uh next level in terms of opponents
that are on the schedule. Give me, I'm I'm going
big game hunting with Arizona getting three and a half.
(34:58):
Originally the line was set at plus and a half,
but on the road getting three and a half at
Minnesota with the return of DeAndre Hopkins fourteen targets week one,
ten catches looking for him, looking for ron Dale Moore,
looking for some fireworks against that Vikings defense, and eventually
Kirk Cousins has to give us a Kirk Cousins performance.
(35:18):
Does he think? Does it he? And this is it?
M hmmm, uh my second game I'm gonna give you
is and I'm again I'm surprised, but this is Jets. No, no, no, no, no,
no, no no, not gonna know. I'm we'll talk about two
and a half. No, I know. The Jets just scare
the hell out of no. No, give me, give me
(35:40):
the Rams getting too over the forty Niners, right, the
Rams had the week off, they had their heads cleared.
Sometimes it's the best thing. Garoppolo has not been good,
and that really concerns me about the forty Niners. He
just hasn't been the Rams seem to have his number.
The Rams offense that no cam Aker is. They will
(36:01):
figure it out. They will have a big day at
San Francisco, tries to figure out who they are, but
sometimes getting that week off. Hey, where the we're the
defending Super Bowl champions. We need some time? Now where
the hunted? Hey, now we know what we need to do.
We can hit that reset button. Give me the Rams
getting too over the forts. The return of Van Jefferson.
Can that sparks something in the offense where somebody besides
(36:22):
Cooper Cup and Tyler Higbee give you a little bit
of lift. They need to find a running game though
that that's really the the problem there. I'm gonna look
at the planet Houston and I like Tennessee overall, but
Ryan Tannehill added to the injury report means perhaps a
little bit limited and Houston Damian Pierce gonna be able
to run the football. And the scary thing though, is
(36:43):
Derrick Henry over two hundred yards and multiple touchdowns three
straight games, but still looking for Davis Mills to make
some plays and for Damian Pierce to get it plus three.
So there it is. There's our upset. Special picks of
the week in the National Football League. Twitter at how
about a Fresca? Mike gets swollen dome the Jason Smith's
