Speaker 2 (01:14):
Dude, just one night?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Never mind. Oh that's a hell of a way to
start a podcast. Right there. I am your host, Dave Stomo.
This is the opening you just are fumbling over yourself
either that or it's me. It might be me. Internet
connection not great right now if you well, look, they're okay,
there's a hurricane, sir, passing by the coasts right now.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Are you living like western Maryland, like far.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
From the coast though, Well, we've got clouds and we
got some rain from it, which affects the internet in
the country.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Would you say, dude, we're closer to a beach than you.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
This is not a contest to see who's closer to
a hurt again. I'm just I'm provided. Look, I live
out in the country, so any little weather disturbance and
I'm gonna sound garbles all night. That's just what's gonna
happen because that's where I live. But we are here.
We are powering through this opening Kickoff podcast. We are

(02:22):
to our favorite time of the year, folks. Football season
is almost upon us and officially college football technically starts
this weekend with Week zero, and we have a tantalizing
game there in Week zero and we'll talk about that.
It is our college football preview podcast. Oh, we are

(02:43):
so excited for this. I'm here. Host Dave steinwel we
apologize for being away the last two weeks a little
bit of a summer reset, as some would set, we
find up Murphy season. Pinderd is here, Peyton. I know
you're you've been dying for this. This is in Nevada.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
We fucking did it, we fucking made it. We're here,
you know. I feel like this football season, I decided
to all the football content that was going to be
out there, all the previews and stuff have kind of
delayed them a little bit, so it carried me long enough.
Kind of like, uh, I rationed out my stash basically

(03:22):
is what I did.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
And uh, yeah, it's been great. I'm ready. I'm fucking
ready for weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Also, I will say, people who don't celebrate weeks zero,
you're not real college football guys.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
And I can understand that it's.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Not the greatest slate, but at least the game in
Dublin this year is a good game of Iowa State
and Kansas State.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That's actually an important game.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Into that you have to now is that everyone thought
that year was going to.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Be a good game going into the game.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Uh. I think I think a lot of people would
have assumed Florida State would have rolled, and I think
they were sadly miss taken as it was a it
was very telling of how the rest of the year
was going to go for those guys.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
So yeah, but I'm excited. I'm I'm man before it.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Uh, but before we get to that Peyton, we're gonna
talk about We're gonna break down the Phillies bullpen with
David Miles.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Get you go ahead. I've seen a little bit about it.
I've a lot of shit going on. It seems like
a lot of stuff gone down.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Totally joking, by the way, But did you also.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
Have to say, because I'm the expert and pitching over here,
Oh yeah, yeah, Well you know about John Duran and
then one hundred and three mile an hour fastball and
maybe the best entrance for a closer in baseball.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I must say, though, and and and that's being impartial
because of Felix with the Omar whistle from the wire,
top tier entrance, except he may never pitch again.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Anythink the Omar flip was a nice one. Also, the
Mets closer whose name is blinking out on me, I
think he's I think it's a dope one. But when
you all those in effect, that has to be in
the right kind of environment in the city that backs
it with crazy support. That's where Durank comes in first place.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
The Mets close second.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
But yeah, no, let's not talk about not talking about baseball.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
They were football.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yes, we are. We we absolutely are. Blood. I have
to digress because we have a very special guest is
actually joining us right now. We are live there. He
is our good friend, comedian Eric Helwig. Eric, it is
great to see you, sir. How you doing yo?

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Sorry, sorry I'm late, My bad on that.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Nah, you're good, you're good.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
We were we were talking about football.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
We could do that forever and we would just forget
we were gonna be doing a regular podcast.

Speaker 6 (05:52):
Gotcha, gotcha?

Speaker 1 (05:55):
What's up, guys?

Speaker 6 (05:56):
How's everybody doing?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well? It's great to see you. Eric Peyton moved to Lubbock, Texas.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Yeah, that's something. What do you think about Lovett Texas?
What are your thoughts about that? Well?

Speaker 6 (06:07):
As soon as I saw that big ass American flag
behind your head, I was like, he's somewhere in the South.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Actually, it was a wedding gift. My buddy made it.
It says this is from twenty twenty one, so this
is prior to that from Uncle Sam.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Fuck yeah. I did actually live in North Carolina when
I got it, so that's probably a bad look too.
That has actually helps doesn't help my argument. But yeah,
rocking out.

Speaker 6 (06:32):
We're in a United States basketball shirt right now.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I like it.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
We're rocking the US of A. I'm all about it.
Love Lubbock, Texas. Like there's a school there, right, Texas Tech.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, my wife is going to be teaching.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Ninety kids Tuesdays and Thursdays at Texas Tech and she's
never taught I think anybody, so that's gonna be interesting
how that works out. Her office also isn't set up either.
That was a I was gonna talk about that. There's
just like no preparations. So like when school starts, it's
gonna be just a gong show. I can't wait to
see how Tuesday goes for So, yeah, we're in Lovelock now,

(07:11):
good town. Honestly a good town would recommend for like
a sporting college sports, but other than that, I really
don't know what you would get at this place.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
You get the Red River showdown, you.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Got the Red Raider to wreck them.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Basically they've just been bought by oil money now, so
their whole team is five, like provided by oil money.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
So that's kind of the big thing around here now.
So that's where we're at.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
A lot of the Texas schools are going to crush
it with the nil because like, yeah, it's all like
it's all like the oil tycoons are just gonna just
buy every player good for that.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
I mean, it's like everybody's dream. It's like, what could
you do if you got a billion dollars? I would
make my favorite sports team better. I would just make
them better. I would do whatever it takes, any amount
of money. Sell my business for a billion dollars and
be like we're gonna win a national champion No, actually,
we're gonna win a Big twelve title.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Guys, we're sending twenty million dollars.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
We're gonna win a Big twelve title, not even a
national championship.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
This is what SMU did. SMU. Yeah, they were like,
we're gonna join the acc and they're like, well you're
in Texas and they're like, how about seven billion dollars
And they're like, welcome to the ACCU.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
We're glad to have you on for many reasons. How
are you doing because it's been a while since we've
talked to you.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
We're uh.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Me and my wife were actually moving to uh to
Maryland in November. We're gonna be back on the East coast.
We've had enough of Hollywood.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Are you going to Frederick or are you gonna be
gonna keep your your family a little at arms life?

Speaker 6 (08:52):
Well, they've all moved, they've all all moved around in the
last couple of years.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Now.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
They're like, they're in a place called Urbana, which is
close to Frederick, but not yeah, not proper Frederick. But
I think we're going to move to Rockville.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Okay, that's a good place to live.

Speaker 6 (09:08):
My wife feels very strongly that we have to be
able to walk in the morning to get coffee.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Okay, that's an interesting We also have access to a
subway like our the train station or whatever, so to
pop over.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
Yeah, she wants to me be on that redline getting
into DC. You know, she's a city girl. So that said,
we're probably gonna end up living in bumfuck Maryland in
three years with a kid nowhere near fucking city. So
we'll see, we'll see, man. But it's exciting just to
be back closer to a family where we're looking forward
to that. So that that's really the big that's the
big update with me is just getting back on the

(09:42):
East coast here soon.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Well, we welcome you back, those of us that are
on the East coast, which is just David and I now,
but welcome back.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Actually, part of part of what we want to do
with you is Peyton is a degenerate gambler, Eric, if
you have never figured that out every time you've been
on the show. So Peyton made twenty nine future bets
for this upcoming college football season, and I think a
good place to start before we kind of talk about
everything college football and life and everything with you, Eric,

(10:15):
is I want your takes on Peyton's picks or in
his futures and just as gambling in general.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Perfect.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Do you have any like celebrity death pools like Andy
Dick cutting his own head off or anything?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Or is it all spared?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
You know?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
I will say there, I can't remember the names of celebrities,
but me and my buddies did jokingly make one for
during COVID and we're like, these guys are just like
they got it. This has got to be it they
can't survive this. And I don't remember how that shook out,
but I remember distinctly, like it was like right when
COVID was starting. I remember Kobe Bryant went and somebody's like,

(10:55):
well I didn't have that one, and then no one
wanted to play anymore because it was just sad. But yeah,
I know, we don't have anything like that. We have
no death pols. Do you have a death bol? Are
you in a death bool? No?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I I no.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
I regret bringing it up. It's it's it's dark. I
remember in college people would have that where they'd be
like twenty bucks, Greta Thunberg gets beheaded by Hamas in
the next six months. You're just like is this fun?
Are you enjoying what this is like to see these
happen or not.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
I will say I do notice every time I'm with
my dad and like you know, he wakes up in
the morning, I do find him checking the old paper
where he grew up, just being like another guy he
didn't make it. I'm like, kind of you're kind of
you're kind of smiling about that, like you beat the
guy or something. So I think our parents kind of
do that A little bit like not like a death pool,

(11:45):
but they're like.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
It is.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
It is funny when someone dies to be like ye
couldn't couldn't make it, couldn't make it to what the
thing that all of us, what do you is your
father planning on not dying?

Speaker 4 (12:00):
I think I think it's just trying to beat out
all these guys that were, you know, thought they were
the unbeatable in high school.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
And he was like, I got that fucking guy's number.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
And look at them. Look at those fucking fools now they're.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, exactly, all right, I'm gonna get into this.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
I'm gonna get into this.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Some of these aren't like, aren't They're not that got exciting,
by the way, Dave, they are, a lot of these
are NFL too, But I'll just run through them. For
the national championship. I've got three people, three teams. I
got Texas, Alabama and Clemson.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Way to be, way to be, way to be off
the talk there, buddy, way to limb. All right, Yeah,
I knew that.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
See this is exactly what I knew was gonna have
because you do this fucking last year day if you
got your high horse, look at the team that made
the fucking playoffs. They're all the teams that got all
the money and they make it every year. So it's
not like you're gonna break news like SMU unfortunately is
not going to win in a cold weather place like
Penn State and then go win a national championship. So
without being said, what are your thoughts on those three teams? Oh,

(13:02):
so you would probably pick those teams.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Again, it was Texas, New Texas.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Bama, and Clemson for the national championship.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
People think Bama's going to fall off a little bit though, right,
Like I've seen them rank like as low as like
ten or eleven in poles starting the season.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
So I think, to my bad, I don't mean cut
you off, but I think it's the nature of Alabama twitches,
twitch coaches. You're not going to have that same dominance.
So I feel like fall off It is kind of
a harsh word, but when you go from being a
guaranteed national champion every year with saving to a whole
new regime, I feel like it's kind of like a

(13:39):
fall off with like maybe it was an outback Bowl. Yeah,
you know, to them, it's like it's like the end
of the world, but it's really better.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Than everybody else.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Well, some people like blooming onions. So I'm not going
to shame those people. I mean, that could be a
victory for them, you know, yeah, I get your point.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Medic bid to the to the Pop Tart Bowl pop Balls.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
The pop Tart Ball is sacred in my heart, just
because they got like so many people up in pop
tart costumes, like running around the stadium, just like wreaking
pranks on people, Like it's just insanity. If you've never
seen it, it's just it's just madness. They got them
doing the weirdest things of all time at the Pop
Tart Ball. Last year they put a fucking pop Tart

(14:21):
guy in the toaster that was also crazy. Couldn't believe that.
And see what else we got here for the Heisman.
These aren't These are a little crazy.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
The first one.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
I put money on Arch Manning because I'm not going
to be the sucker that didn't put money on Arch
Manning when it's so obvious like they want they want
a Manning to win a Heisman Trophy. I feel like
that's just there. Jeremiah Smith put money on him, uh,
just because he's the best receiver in college football. I
put money on the Norse sellers, the goggles. I like
the specs where specs when he plays Eric Dickerson. Look,

(15:00):
it's always cool, and he's actually pretty good at football.
Long shot, and then I did not feel good about this.
But I did place this before it happened. John Mattier,
the Knan Oklahoma who literally got his Vemo transactions blasted
in the internet last week for betting.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
USC versus college football.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
So I feel stupid now that that had happened, because
obviously I didn't know that when I placed it. Hopefully
he doesn't become fucking eligible between now and then.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
But I guess what are your thoughts on those guys?

Speaker 6 (15:31):
I love to b pick. He's like one of two
quarterbacks in the SEC to stay put for a year. Yes,
Game Cocks are going to be sick this year, man,
I think they might finish higher than Bama.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Love this. I like that take. I like that take.
I would if I'm going quarterback. Though, outside of Arch Manning,
when you pick Clemson, I really like kid club Nick
a lot this year. Yeah, how he played down the
stretch like Clemson. To me, is is my dark horse

(16:02):
outside of the SEC Big ten top dogs because I
just love what Dabo has been able to do in
this nil era the last two years.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah, that's fair. I do like that. You shamed me
for picking them for the National Championship and then said that,
But no, I.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Was shaming you for Texas and Alabama.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
That's a different guy. All right, all right, fair enough,
fair enough. Let me see, I'm gonna skip some of
these conferdence ones because we'll probably get into that I
got for over wins, I got. I liked it. What
Eric said now gives me more confidence. South Carolina game
Cocks over seven and a half wins. That's what their
total is right now.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
That feels very underselling.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
I just felt, Yeah, that's what I thought. Man, I'm like,
what do I not know here? What am I missing?
But I just think like they don't have like the
hardest schedule in the SEC like some of these other
teams do. They got the quarterback back they have, uh
is Dylan Stewart. Yeah, Dylan Stewart at the end? Uh Like,
you know, as long as they don't do like they

(17:07):
celebration every time and they don't kill like get rough
in the.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Passers like they're gonna win football games. I think I
like Shane Neemer.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
They finished nine and four last year. Their schedules easier
and they kept a bunch of their guys.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yeah that's what I'll think.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
No way, they're finishing seven and a half, that's that's
an under sell.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Niceah yeah, okay, there we go. Uh the next one
I got is I got this is a It's like
Lane Kiffin somehow always manages to get like eight to
nine wins. I got Ole miss over eight and a
half wins, So that's gonna be like there's not a
lot of room for era. But like Lane Kiffin, I mean,

(17:46):
Lane Kiffin knows all the numbers, Like he looks at
what these are, he knows what he knows what the
spreads are, like he thinks about it. He's like, my
booster's probably got money on this ship. I got to
cover the spread for him. So I'm always thinking about
that in the back of my mind. So, and Lane
Kiffin's like a character, like I just think he's a
pretty good football touch. He's they were like five and

(18:07):
seven the first year he got there, and I think
they've either won eight to like ten games or eleven
games every year since. So I don't know that's kind
of my thought around it in New Quarterbacks.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Yeah, what is uh? Didn't Kiffen get in trouble for something?
At Ole miss Or? Was that like an Was that
another school that he got in trouble?

Speaker 4 (18:30):
He was? He was just kind of an asshole everywhere
he went. Everyone kind of talked about that pretty much.
Everywhere he went to the Raiders, everyone's like, you're a
fucking dick. Went to Tennessee, he sucked, So the bulls
were like, you're the europiece of shit? How dare you
ruin this program? And then you know, he entered the
Nick Shaven Rehabilitation program where you go there for two
years and then you you can go wherever you want,

(18:50):
you do whatever you want again.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
So the dickheads at Tennessee that they were going to
play Army one season and then they paid Army one
point five million dollars to not lamb.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Yes, correct, that is that is that's exactly see, it's
like nothing nothing like legally he did. But like, yeah,
he's just he's one of those guys. Also, he's like
single now he just hits on like the sorority girls
at Old miss I think just like, what's up? How
you doing? You know, so that's not like a great look.

(19:20):
But you know, allegedly allegedly, I suppose next I got,
I certainly wouldn't do that. Uh, next I got. Uh
I got a Notre Dame over ten and a half wins,
and it's a gauntlet.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's a lot harder a Notre Dame schedule than they're
used to.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
But I fucking love Marcus Freeman, and I think, like,
I don't think they're going to drop a game like
they did against Northern Illinois last year, Like that was
like a one off, weird thing. They have tougher game,
but like texts ay, and them has to go to
Notre Dame this year, Like I just I think like
they have enough returning guys on defense. Jeremiah Love is
probably the best back in college football, I would say,

(20:07):
And he's probably gonna be a first round pick as
a running back, and that's fucking that's hard to say
these days. So and he doesn't have to carry the
entireler they have, Like they have depth at running back.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
So that's kind of where I'm at.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Damn.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
Look at their schedule, man, they have a they have
a tougher one this year than they normally do.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Yeah, they did. They did do that on purpose, I think,
but I don't.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
I mean, I just think, I don't know. I just
like Marcus Freeman.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
I like the guy. I think he's he's done well.
Like Brian Kelly was so hateable. It's like whenever a
bat a coach at like one of those teams, it's
so easy to hate Notre Dame when the coach sucks too,
but like when the guy's cool, You're like, this is
fucking Notre Dame. Like you know, Rudy was off side,
but like this is a cool place, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, my wife we watched the movie Rudy, and she
was like, this is the shittiest movie of all time.
My wife hated Rudy.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Rudy's a terrible movie.

Speaker 6 (21:01):
Like I thought he would have gotten the game and
like done something important, but it was a meaningless snap.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
I was like, yeah, but he worked really hard. She's like,
who gives a shit?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Why do we care?

Speaker 6 (21:11):
Yeah, this is like a three hour build up to
him trying to get into Notre Dame. It's like that
movie feels like my dad wrote it when he was
trying to convince me to go to college. Like it's
really important to get into college. Like now it's not.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
Yeah, I think Notre Dame. I think Notre Dame could
hit ten wins. But like I mean, I'm looking at
their schedule now, Boise, he plays him in South Bend,
Texas A and m you said plays him in South Bend.
Who else is? Who else was good on this schedule
last year? I mean obviously Miami, but they have to
go to Miami. I don't know, we'll see that. That'll

(21:48):
be tough. I think that'll be tough to hit ten wins. Yeah,
it feels like they always drop, like Navy beats some
or something like, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
There's always one that sneaks. Feel like they're going to
stix that. I don't know. My money's on it. I
hope hopefully they do that.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
I will also say, Rudy has not aged well since,
like Joe Montana has like basically openly said like it
was a joke, like when we laid our church's down,
it was a fucking joke, Like we weren't like we
didn't actually like that guy. So it does. It does
have a different like feel to it. You're like, ah, fuck,
that kind of sucks for that guy.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
There was also like he got in trouble for like
insider trading. Yeah, like we've we find out years later
that Rudy was the BTK killer and you're like, oh,
not a good dude.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Not a good guy all the cos we're going like
missing on that canvas. Yea, geez, I'm just saying Rudy,
Rudy sucked. I got these other ones are just like
we go through Illinois over seven and a half wins.
They've kind of been trending upwards since Frent Billham has
been there. They don't have like a crazy schedule getting

(22:58):
a gambler as we were talking about that, My goodness.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
About you, Peyton, I'm a little concerned.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
No about Rudy. He's fucking down high ninety five right now.
Oh god.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
And then I got West Virginia obligation, just burn my
money over five and a half wins. I got rich
Rod trying to get him to a bowl game, which
the camp has not gone well. I don't think I
think he was like his whole thing was we're gonna
build a hard edge, and these guys did not have
a hard edge, and they did not want to play
hard football. So as a fan of West Virginia. It

(23:33):
does not build well in confidence, but oh well, you
know it is what it is. Can rifle through the
NFL ones really quickly. I got four Super Bowl winners.
I picked the Bills, the Chiefs, the Commanders, and the
forty nine ers.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
What do you think about that?

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Where are the Eagles?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Where are the Eagles?

Speaker 3 (23:54):
Are you?

Speaker 4 (23:55):
You're an Eagles guy, aren't you?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, yeah, worse.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yeah, go birds?

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Now.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Don't like I did place this with the thought.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
That gonna no, no, no, I'm not a pretty guy. I
think I think party is serviceable. And that's where I'll
leave that I'm better than good looking man.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
I disagree.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Well, okay, well I thank you for that.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
I think uh CMC though a very good looking guy.
I think he's gonna be healthy. I don't know I'm
buying that. I'm buying that he's gonna stay healthy this year,
like if he plays minority of the games, like we
saw what happened in what twenty three? Like the I mean,
he's he's such a weapon, like in offense, like Chan
knows how to use that guy in every facet of

(24:44):
a running passing. I guess Brandon a youth needs to
get super healthy here. But I don't know what that
looks like, but yeah, that's definitely. I just like to
pick two and two, and I can't put money on
the Eagles of the Ravens. So this is where I landed.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Don't don't make best when you're drunk, Peyton, just don't.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
What do you mean you're telling me the four game
you're all saying the forty nine Ers have no chick.
First off, I can't believe that. I just said those
teams and no one questioned the Commanders.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
One.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Everyone was kind of like, all right, even I can.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Recognize the Commanders that are a trending talent. And one game,
you know the Commanders.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Commanders have worst odds out of all those teams to
win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
I mean I wouldn't if I wasn't an Eagles fan,
I'd put.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Money down on the Commanded ok A lot, I put
like five dollars down on it. All right, Well, I'm
no a fucking move on. Then you guys are haters,
by the way.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
I just I just think ESPN Power rankings number one
and number two Eagles Ravens. That's gonna be the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
No it's not it is.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna see to it it doesn't happen.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
I'm gonna make that. I like that.

Speaker 6 (25:54):
I like that. Our debate style is no, it isn't wrong.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Your opinion is wrong. Uh, then I obviously everyone knows
in the show I placed my obligation of Mike.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Mike Tomlin is gonna win nine games and go above
five hundred over eight wins.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
I don't know how they do it, but Aaron Rodgers
is gonna get them to nine wins and then he's
gonna say, see, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go try
to get on the moon or something weird like that
with skin foil hat. So I don't know. Uh, I
did do this.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
I have Eagles.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
I did take Eagles over eleven wins. I did lie.
I did put that. So I did that.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
Was Who's Eagles are gonna win their division? They have
a six, they have they had the best defense in
football last year. They have the best skill players on
offense in the league, and Jalen Hurst. There's just no question.
There's just the Eagles are gonna Eagles are gonna run
through the NFC like a like a hot knife through

(26:56):
butter this year. Okay, I'm telling you, man.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
They're only their only question to me is going to
be the health of the offensive line with already having
Landon Dickerson down and you don't have Makai Beckton back
this year. But there's enough depth that I think they'll
be okay until those guys come back. But that's the
only question for me when it comes to the Eagles.
And I don't disagree.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
I know, I know Tyler Steen personally and I getn't.
I guarant no, I don't, but say that though you
could say.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
No one would question you, no one would be like, no,
you don't.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
I was like, that's a pleasant surprise.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Tyler says the stand up comedian. I've opened for him
a couple of times. He's gonna be I think he's
gonna be better than Makai becked in uh and Dickerson's fine.
Dickerson's gonna play.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
I think he's bringing beers out to the practice field.
He's having the debt. He's just he shut himself down.
He's like, Cam's overrated, I'm good. A. J.

Speaker 6 (27:55):
Brown's been nursing his hamstring all training. It's like they
just these guys they've earned some time off in training camp.
They know they know how to ramp up. They don't
need to rush, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
I also have commanders over nine wins.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
I have Jade and Daniels MVP, just because it feels like,
just feels like you should place that I got. And
then this is the last one. Lamar Jackson over four
and a half. Rushing touchdowns gonna be tight. It's gonna
be a tough one to get there. But so yeah,
get this, so get this. He's never he's only done

(28:32):
that one time in his career. And that blew my mind.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
Yeah, that feels like an anomaly.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
I think, yeah, yeah, broke my brain where I placed it?

Speaker 4 (28:40):
And then I sent in a group chat and everyone
sent me the stats that he's never had He's only
had five once, And I'm like, oh fuck, I probably
should have looked that up a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
But you know, and now you have Derrick Henry, Keaton Mitchell,
and like, I'm.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Not worried about Derrick Henry.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
We need to get we need to get Lamar Jackson
on at Ryan Tannehill. I'm gonna your touchdowns, smoth. We
need to start doing that, like just pull it even
though you could just give it to him. We need
to start doing that because that probably I mean, how
do they touched out? Do you think Ryan Tannehill stole
from that guy like twenty probably?

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Like there's probably more, but it's it was Ryan Tannehill, like.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Exactly, Ryan, Ryan Tannel exactly. Lamar Jackson should fucking steal them.
And that's how I went.

Speaker 6 (29:24):
That's how we went there RT coming back. There's no
way he's done with football, is he? Who Tannehill?

Speaker 3 (29:34):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (29:34):
That guy, that guy like Jake FROMMS he's selling insurance
hopefully soon, I think.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
So, man, I want I want one more ride?

Speaker 4 (29:43):
No, no, oh, this is this is actually a great point.
I wanted to bring this up a lot finishes what
I had there. Backup quarterbacks. How are we feeling about
backup quarterbacks these days?

You're looking up LIKE nfl players from like the nineteen
like The Akron, Renegades.

BOOMER i forgot about?

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Boomers Boomer, Boomer.

Speaker 4 (36:07):

TOP nfl quarterbacks, ever and it started off number one
With Tim. Teba so this this can't be. SERIOUS i,
mean come, on, like can't have.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Your number one?

Speaker 6 (36:20):
Guy how Would tebow have been if he had just been,
Like i'll be a full, back tight, end h, back hybrid.
Guy he would have been.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Sick he might he might have had an eight to
ten year. CAREER i think because he wasn't With. Tibo
it was never a question about the. Size it was
when he. Threw The hunters stood up because they thought
they saw lame duck flying in the, air like that's
how bad the ball came out of his. Hand SO

(36:53):
i think had he embraced being a tight end or
a position, change he probably gets a SERVICEABLE nfl. CAREER
i don't know if it gets all the. Accolades it
would have to depend on where he went in the.
System BUT i think he could have made himself AN
nfl career out of.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
It, YEAH i mean it does suck That Irvan meyers
like drop like dragged him out there out of, retirement
like Hey, tim you want to play tight end for
The jags and he just gets cut in. Preseason it's,
like why did you do?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
That he hadn't played football in like three.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Years just dragged him out there for no fucking.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
REASON i, like couldn't coach without. Him he's, LIKE i need.
Him it's my non.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
NEGOTIABLE i NEED i need My tim out.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
There to get A JAGUAR i got to get A
jaguars t bow.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Jersey, yeah that's. That that would. Be that would be
like one like you immediately like you're getting that's getting
blasted On twitter, somewhere like look at WHAT i look
WHAT i saw in the wild today and it's like
In Tim tebow eighty five.

Speaker 6 (37:52):
Jersey now let's talk about. This why are The jaguars
pretending like their colors are black and? Gold what's going?

Speaker 3 (37:59):

Speaker 6 (38:00):
That you are a teal.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Team embrace the. Teal it's a great. LOOK i love
The jaguar nineties look with the teal and the black.

Speaker 6 (38:09):
Helmet, yeah now they've got. It we're like the only
thing teal on the helmet is like the tongue of The,
jaguar like it ate an ice, Pop, like please make
your team teal that's what you.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Are, YEAH i agree with.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
That frustrating teams lose themselves like. That, yes, YEAH i.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
Was gonna, say what's another. Team there's a there's another
one that recently is also like one that.

Speaker 3 (38:33):

Speaker 6 (38:34):
Cardinals they wear those black alternates waiting and it's like
you are white and. Red it's, LIKE.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
I say it, AGAIN i like, that like the white,
helmet black top and white pants.

Speaker 6 (38:49):
ONCE i like, it like once a. Year but they
do it like for half their home.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Games, okay but with.

Speaker 2 (38:56):

Purple do you embrace?

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Black?

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Which like how do you how do you decide?

Speaker 6 (39:00):
What it's a little different for The ravens because purple
and black are so close to one another that it's
like hardly it still feels like you're watching The. RAVENS
i don't. Know like WHEN i watched THE, Nba i'll be, like, oh,
look the The nuggets are playing The. Warriors oh, no

Speaker 4 (39:33):
It it's The chargers for. Me they like they finally
brought back like the Powder blues and like they finally
brought back like the that two thousand and Seven CHARGERS lt,
jersey but like they were using like this weird dark
blue that's not even like their fucking colors the last
couple of. Years it's like dark blue with like the
bolts on the. Side it just looked it literally looked

(39:55):
like AN. Nfl like you built a team like on
Like madden that wasn't as team and that was what
they just gave.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
You and you're, like, okay, Sweet like there's no effort in.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
That.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
YEAH i will SAY i like The seahawks retros that
they're they're just wearing as much as possible and they're
the they're the Coolest seahawks.

Speaker 6 (40:13):
Retros eagles have great. Retros, uh it's a it's a
it's a travesty that The titans Wear Houston oilers.

Speaker 4 (40:24):
YEAR i feel like they shouldn't be allowed to do
that at.

Speaker 6 (40:26):
All they wear it against they wear it against the, Text,
yes beating them both times they've done.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
It, YES i.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Agree uh, This i'll say The steelers alternate, jerseys they're
just always Fucking it's like it looks like someone's playing
rugby or like it's just they look.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Terrible you can look them up The spiral.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
Notebook, yeah, LOOK i mean it looks.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Ridiculous it looks like they have like The german like
fucking eagle on it, now and it's like what are
we doing? Here like this is not?

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Good this.

Speaker 6 (40:59):
Look there's a couple teams like The packers and The
steelers where you're like you should never have even an alternate,
jersey like.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
Y, yes yours are so.

Speaker 6 (41:07):
Iconic raiders feel like that, Too LIKE i like that
where your, shit, man that's that's what you, are and
it's you've made it this. Far don't try to be cool.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
NOW i have, lobbied by the way ever since they
brought them. Back Tampa bay needs to go back to
the dream.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
School oh, YEAH i think they.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Are, no, no not, no they're not going full time
like that needs to be the because the ones that
got out are just. SO i don't like the brown, like,
no like go back to the. Creamsickle, look, yeah give
me the orange and the. White it look. Great it
Fits tampa if you've ever been down, there it fits

(41:47):
sort of the vibe of that, city like they need
to go back to The, creamsicles AND i will die
on that hill because they'll never do.

Speaker 6 (41:52):
It it's also twenty twenty. Five it's a much more
gay Friendly. America The creamsicles fit in much better, now.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
And they're actually like. Good you can't like suck and
wear creemsickles like it was just, sad probably like in
the nineties when they're doing, like oh look How.

Speaker 6 (42:12):
The actual hard selling point is that when they wore
The creamsicles for, real they won six games in fifteen,
Seasons so it's it's truly associated with being just dog shit.
Bad SO i don't, KNOW i, MEAN i feel like.
THAT i feel like of all the teams to to
buy low, on The buccaneers could easily win their, division

(42:34):
make the, playoffs make a. RUN i Think Baker mayfield's
poised for a huge.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Season that teams got loaded, too that seem's got a
lot of. Talent that because we talk about The, eagles
because we talk about The, commanders The, lions like you
kind of forget About tampa because the rest of THE
Nfc south is a big question mark except for The.
Saints we know what they're going to be, Sorry New, Orleans,

(43:01):
like you're just you're not gonna be good year because
you're banking On Arch manning and, anyone anyone can try
to convince me, otherwise But i'm not buying. It they're
all in on Arch manning next.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
YEAR i will say. THIS i didn't know this until
like last. Week Garrett nussmeier's dad is the offensive coordinator
for The. SAINTS dallasu, Quarterback so that does Throw oh don't.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Look let's let's let's not let's not act like Arch.
Manning let's not act Like. Archie manning isn't sitting there
like they've said all the right. Things so our arch
is gonna play In texas in twenty twenty. Seven don't
give in me for one. Second if he hung up
there and see The New Orleans saints have the number
one pick that he isn't. Going, hey, grandson guess where

(43:48):

Speaker 3 (43:50):
STREET i, MEAN i, LOOK i hear.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
You i'm just saying is to act like there will
be a. Conversation and the guy's, like all, right it's my, kid,
man we got to draft my. Kids you don't think
that guy's gonna say that you don't think he's gonna
like drop.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
His does that work in THE?

Speaker 6 (44:06):
NFL i know that works in college if you're like
if you if you're At Eastern, Michigan but that can't
work if you're in THE.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
NFL i think it works for like if your son
wants to be a coach Like, schottenheimer like you, know doing, That, like,
yeah sure your son can be the fucking intern that
does take you, know picks up the trash of my
waistband that.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
Night but the intern splash head coach of The. Cowboys you, mean, yes.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Exactly, Yeah i'm just, saying, Well i'm just saying he
had to get his foot in the.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Door how do you think he did? That, probably fucking.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
DAD i think he earned. IT i, mean dare?

Speaker 4 (44:39):
You, yeah for, sure definitely.

Speaker 6 (44:41):
DID i didn't consinuate that parents help their children to
get into the fields that they were.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
IN i don't EXACTLY i should say that.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Too. Yeah, OH i do want to bring back the, bucks.
THOUGH i do think it's wrong that every TIME i
look On, TWITTER i just see a picture of the
four hundred and fifty pound guy they dra after From,
florida just not allowed to practice until he loses, Weight
so they got to stop posting that. Picture it's just
him on the sideline doing. Laps he's just like the

(45:09):
biggest dude ever. Process, yeah he was that size Of.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Florida why did you draft? Him what did you draft him?

Speaker 1 (45:22):
For?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Yeah look him, Up, eric his name Is Desmond.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Watson he's look at, This look at this. Guy they
tweet out a picture every day at. Camp they're, Like
Desmond watson still not, practicing And i'm, like, quit quit
taking a picture of this fucking guy trying to lose.

Speaker 6 (45:41):
Weight every TIME i feel bad about not losing, Weight
i'm throwing up a photo Of Desmond watson feeling better about. Myself,
yes but, YEAH.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
I just think The bucks should stop doing, That like stop, Stop.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
Like they got an indoor, facility have to go do
fucking laps in.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
THERE i, mean come, on.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
Yeah you're supposed. To it should be like the other
teams in THE Nfc south posting like why are they
asking themselves look at how fat this guy is that we,
Traveled we didn't do any.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
Research, yeah it's like your mind Like Albert hainsworth's when
The redskins draft like signed him and he just didn't
pass physical like five weeks in a, row and they
paid him like ninety million dollars and they're, like maybe
you should on the physical before you brought him into the.
Team maybe, no.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Before we get before we get wrapped this. UP i
do want to go through and pick The power Five
conference winners that we. Have, eric if you just want
to make fun of our, predictions by all means you,
can or if you want to participate and give your
pick for THE, acc The Big, ten The Big, twelve

And i'm gonna Go. Clemson though here's WHAT i will.
Say If miami picks Off Notre dame, EARLY i would
not sleep on. That, Miami Florida state's gonna be. Competitive

(47:45):
BUT i think THAT i think That clemson just has
too much With Clay kate club nicked quarterback because at
the end of the, day your quarterback is gonna take you.
Far come big games in college.

Speaker 6 (47:56):
Football, Yeah i'm gonna go Wake forest. Undefeated, okay.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
UNDEFEATED i like this When Winston salem stand.

Those Demon deacons in their. Motorcycles i'll tell you, what
what a great, name Demon. Deacons it is a cool
like definitely like living driving By it is a cool little.
University he wouldn't expect it to be like a BIG
d one or at LEAST d one athletics.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
And all That Tim duncan went.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
THERE i did learn living In North carolina that everyone
fucking Hates Chris. Paul that's From North, Carolina and it
took me forever to realize people Hate Chris paul BECAUSE
i thought he would beloved my entire. Life but people
fucking hate that. GUY i know THAT i, HAD i don't.
KNOW i literally a GUY i worked with played against
him in high, school is, LIKE i fucking hate that.
DUDE i hate that he's made so much MONEY i.

(48:53):
Couldn't he was, LIKE i couldn't think of the worst
guy to make millions of. Dollars And i'm, like, okay all, Right.

Speaker 6 (49:01):
Like everybody In North carolina hates this. Guy and then you're,
like this, DUDE i work with. Things he makes too much.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Money, yes say that.

Speaker 6 (49:09):
TOO i GOT i Got. Clemson, OKAY i Got Club.
Nick he's going he's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
Great all, right let's go to The Big ten where
defending national Champion Ohio state. Resides everybody Has Penn state
is the second overall team in the. Country, peyton you
were in Nit Nitney lion. Country WHO i couldn't.

Speaker 3 (49:37):
Wish anything worse upon them Than i'm like the worst
of the.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
WORST i hate that. SCHOOL i actually Have oregon winning.
AGAIN i do think everyone's kind of like just, thinking, like,
Oh Dylan gabriel's.

Speaker 3 (49:50):
LEFT i lost these. Guys they had a top five
chransfer class. Recruiting they Got Makai hughes From.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
TULANE i think he'll be fantastic going into Like Dan lanning's.
System they got good guys up. Front, LIKE i just
think everyone's forgetting like this guy does just kind of like. Win,
obviously the quarterback thing is like the biggest like what
if because like he used to like twenty three year
old Bow knicks and twenty four year Old Dylan gabriel

(50:18):
being at The. Helm so this is like a new,
challenge young. Guy but, Yeah i'm going To oregon going
back to back big.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Ten i'm Just i'm gonna Take Ohio state until proven
otherwise best, Team like prove me, Wrong, David.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Penn. STATE i, THINK i honestly think that of everything
that's been happening within the last couple of years Of Penn,
state just since the year to either put up the
shut up and so give Me Prince, State.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
I'm gonna. Go i'm gonna Go Penn state, too because
it's the closest to The Philadelphia. Eagles there it, is let's.

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Go here's the here's the fun one to pick the
big twelve feels sort of like an open. Race, peyton
who do you?

Speaker 4 (51:07):
LIKE i Guess i'm being an. Over i'm Taking Texas
tech umber number one transfer. Class they just spent twenty
five million dollars on the, Team like they spent all
their money they could before the nil thing kind of
like went away a little bit and they could just
write blank. Checks so they took advantage of. That they

(51:27):
got a really really deep, defense coming, back, receivers quarterbacks coming,
back and like it'd been five different champions of The
Big twelve in the last five, years so it really
is kind of take your. Shot BUT i got them
Versus Arizona state in The Big. Twelve But i'll Take.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Tech i'm going with a team more C. Saturday, oh
we can't give. Me Kansas, State, okay always a kind of,
tricky tough team to have to play in The Big.
TWELVE i Love Avery johnson a. LOT i think he's
one of the better quarterbacks in The Big twelve this.

(52:05):
Year AND i Think Kansas state because if you look
at their, schedule they Play Iowa state week, one week,
zero sorry forget about the week zero. Part then they
Get North. Dakota their schedules very light outside of The Big,
twelve and The big twelve's got some questions about certain
about some, teams like it'd be what you're gonna be

(52:25):
as good as they were last? Year Did utah come?
Back this feels Like Kansas. State they pick Off Iowa
state In, dublin they got a chance to get on
a run and be the. Twelve David, miles who is muted.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
When kendall was making KNOWS i didn't win her to
come through and run run the, time but.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
BUT i am.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
GOOD i was gonna Pick Arizona, state But dave brought
up a good point and then so they actually looked
into WHEN i started our college football league. Online SO
i was going to figure over the. State But davie
cregs give Me Kansas.

Speaker 6 (53:05):
State i'm going Uh, So i'm a Big army. Fan
kanye udo are running back transferred To Arizona. STATE i
think that guy is gonna explode this. Season he's. Average
he was afaging like six or seven yards of carry
for two seasons At army and they run the ball
eighty times a. Game, YEAH i mean that guy could

(53:27):
not be. Stopped and it was against big teams. Too
he did. THAT i THINK i think he's gonna crush.
IT i Think Arizona State. Okay and, finally Also army
is gonna Beat Kansas state week two and take them
out of the.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Running look at that they're calling a shot in week
two if three weeks, OUT i love, it love it
bank shot For. Eric, finally let's talk about THE sec
where the presumptual number one team in the, Country texas. Resides,
peyton you Picked texas And, alabama so you gotta choose.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
One, Yeah i'm gonna Go.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
Alabama De boor year two gets his legs under, him
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
Top five class coming.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
IN i, know like they Lost Jahim yodas To, colorado
so like that's a big, guy like you got to,
replace but they've got depth there And debor like he
always improved after his first, year so like he was
interim At, fresno he went three and. Three the next
year he went nine to, three and then he gets Hired.
Washington they go eleven and, two then they go fourteen to.

(54:33):
ONE i just think like he needed like kind of that.
Year obviously went nine to, four which is huge down
year For, alabama but like that was like a loss
To vanderbilt And. Oklahoma they probably shouldn't have lost those,
games like they should have honestly probably not overlooked. Them
AND i think it's kind of like everyone, said like
no one's really hyped On alabama this.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Year it seems like everyone's kind.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Of taking their eye off in which seems like what
you should never do at any, point So i'm going With.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Alabama this is.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
HARD i don't love The. GEORGIA i don't Love georgia this.
YEAR i. DON'T i don't love their backup quarterback. Situation
South carolina is a fun team to think. About florida
is a fun team to think. About BUT i think
at the end of the, Day texas has the best.
Froster texas top to, bottom just has, playmakers they have the.

(55:29):
QUARTERBACK i Just i'm hard pressed to pick Against texas right.
Now i'm looking at the rest Of. OKLAHOMA i have
no faith IN lsu is gonna be the interesting. ONE
i THINK lsu is the best shot to Knock texas
off in THE sec because they feel like they're the
second team that doesn't have a lot of questions Behind. Texas, Yes,

(55:53):
david or do you want to Let camdon make the
pick for?

Speaker 4 (55:57):
You?

Speaker 2 (56:05):
Okay so sounds like she's saying she's gonna go With.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
Texas, okay she.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Doesn't she doesn't believe the Arch manning, hype but she
thinks That texas is a well built team, Anyway so
no matter what, Happens texas will. Prevail is that, Right, Camden.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
She's she's got more insightful analysis Than STEVEN. A smith.
Does right, now there we.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Go, yeah she get she watches these pre was the
preseason he shows with her dead?

Speaker 1 (56:31):
There yeah all, Right, eric you did the final pick
of the.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
NIGHT i do believe in the Arch manning hype because
it's like it's one thing to be, like, uh you,
know nepotism for like a father and a, son but grandfather.
Nepotism that's strong as. HELL i think Arch manning has
Been he's been steeped in. It, man this this kid

(56:58):
was and he, waited he. Waited, yeah there's something to
be said about sitting. Down that's like an old school.
Thing they sedu in THE nfl where they sit the
rookie for you, know eight, seasons like they Did Aaron.
Rodgers so for him to have done that in college
not to come to N i l hung out At.
Texas He i've seen a bunch of quotes where he's,

(57:19):
like this is ALL i. WANT i want to get
a quarterback At. Texas like it seems like he values.
It he was good In spurts when he played last.
Year i'm all, in.

Speaker 1 (57:30):

of do it for this week's. Podcast, Eric it is
