The NFL landscape shifts dramatically after just three weeks of action, and the Bald Guys are here to break down all the madness that was Week 3.
The Los Angeles Chargers have emerged as one of the league's biggest surprises, starting 3-0 for the first time since Drew Brees was under center in 2002. What makes this start particularly impressive? All three wins have come against division rivals. Justin Herbert continues to silence critics, adding to his impressive collection of game-winning drives despite taking a punishing 14 hits from the Broncos defense – the most by a Chargers quarterback in two decades. The Jim Harbaugh effect is real, and Scott can barely contain his excitement.
Week 3 delivered no shortage of dramatic finishes and unexpected outcomes. The Eagles secured a heart-stopping victory over the Rams thanks to a blocked field goal returned by 330-pound Jordan Davis, who was clocked at an astonishing 18.6 miles per hour. The Browns shocked the previously undefeated Packers, while the Falcons suffered a humiliating loss to the Panthers, never crossing their opponent's 30-yard line the entire game.
The injury bug hit hard across the league, potentially altering several teams' trajectories. The Chargers lost Najee Harris to an Achilles injury, creating a significant void in their backfield that Scott fears may be difficult to fill. Other notable injuries include Joey Bosa (ACL), James Conner (knee), and CeeDee Lamb (ankle).
Looking ahead, Week 4 promises more excitement as the Steelers and Vikings face off in Ireland, while Graham heads to New York for the Ryder Cup. Subscribe now and join us next week as we continue to track all the unexpected twists and turns of this NFL season!

I was talking to SkavranLudvig's caddy earlier and I was
like dude, really, chargers arein town, you're in the Ryder
Cup, you're a caddy.
Sucks to be you Joking, right,yeah, right, obviously joking,
but anyhow, let's jump right in.
(05:46):
Dude.
Week three slate of the NFL.
Dude, yesterday was so crazythe way games were ending and
everything, and I know this isterrible I couldn't even tell
you who the Thursday night gamewas without thinking I mean, I'm
not looking, but, dude, I wasthinking about that because
(06:12):
normally we like week threekicks off on Thursday night,
dude.
I'm like don't look, I know,Right.
Yesterday just blew my mind.
I mean, I'm not even going inorder.
Oh, I know what it is.
Graham (06:28):
I remember it was the Buffalo game, that's right.
Scott (06:31):
Yeah, that's right.
All right, good job.
Graham (06:33):
Yay, good job.
What was that yeah?
Scott (06:38):
I couldn't even think I mean.
All I can say is you trydriving going 60 miles an hour
and you got your phone on redzone.
Thank you YouTube TV.
It's the greatest inventionever.
And you're driving and tryingto pay attention to everything
and as you're driving, you'relike watching the end of the
Eagles Rams game and JordanDavis and his 330 pound ass is
(07:01):
running a blocked field goalback.
They clocked him at 18.6 milesan hour.
Graham (07:09):
It looked like he was jogging.
Scott (07:11):
I'm sorry, what.
Graham (07:14):
I can't run that fast.
Scott (07:16):
A dude that big 18.6?
.
Graham (07:21):
He beat both of us in a race.
Scott (07:23):
Combined, bro, if you and I hit 18 combined, I'd be
shocked, dude.
One of the coolest things I saw, though, was like a fans video
after they scored in the endzone where he scored and the
whole team like ran down there.
Somehow, cooper dejean ends upin the stands.
What it was sick, it was soawesome.
The whole team's like rightthere up in the stands.
(07:43):
What it was sick, it was soawesome.
The whole team's like rightthere up against the railing.
Cooper Djean is like jumping ontop of somebody.
Somebody jumps under him.
He's in the stands.
All these fans are likehigh-fiving Cooper.
It was sick, unbelievable.
Dude, eagles Down Getting boatraced.
Dude, go forward on fourth.
(08:05):
Get the tutty.
Then go for a two-pointconversion.
Miss it.
The Rams have a chance to winBlocked.
Thanks for playing.
Your boy wins a bet because hehad the Eagles minus three and a
half.
I mean, that's what good teamsdo?
Graham (08:23):
They not only win, win, but they cover bro, I'm glad you
brought that up, because everyother sports better in the world
that took them plus three and ahalf is mfing up and down the
street right now.
Scott (08:36):
So yeah, if you lost that , oh, oh, he gone.
Oh, he's gonna get caught, hegone, going to get caught, he
gone.
Oh, he got caught.
Now throw it to Laporta.
Graham (08:48):
Oh my God, Montgomery Dude, the Ravens can't stop a
nosebleed right now, if you hadthe Rams plus three and a half
yesterday and you lost that.
Scott (08:59):
You probably should think about giving up betting.
Graham (09:02):
Like a lot of games, if things would have just gone to
plan, not to plan even.
I mean, look, the packers game,as we were just talking about
earlier, if they run the ballinstead of throwing it to run
the, they run the clock out.
I mean, look, they still don'twin the spread, but at least
they stay alive.
I?
I mean I had a couple teasersthat still had the Browns I'm
(09:26):
sorry, the Packers at minus onestill was no good, I'm like.
And the worst part is the onlything that excited me with the
Browns winning was hey, there'sgoing to be a lot of people that
get knocked out of Survivor.
Scott (09:40):
And by God, there was a lot.
Graham (09:43):
Not as many as I thought , but there was definitely a lot
for sure.
Scott (09:46):
Well, I mean, just look at the Browns' first two games.
Yeah, how good is that defense?
I mean, defense is stupid.
I don't know if you saw thatone picture where the Packers
had three dudes trying to blockGarrett.
It was insane.
Announcer (10:03):
Yeah, I saw that.
Scott (10:05):
Insane.
And the other dude, the rookiefrom Michigan, graham, he's
having a dude.
He's having an amazing start,but once again you just said it,
dude.
I was watching ESPN thismorning that third down play.
It was originally called as arun play.
(10:25):
Jordan Love audibles out of itIf they run.
Remember the saying sometimes apunt is a good play.
Graham (10:38):
Not in this NFL.
Scott (10:39):
Dude, dude, the Browns can't do anything all game, and
you know, myself included, dude,the Browns can't do anything
all game.
And you know myself, includedyourself.
We were all crowning thePackers right through two weeks
Calling them they're winning theSuper Bowl.
Graham (10:56):
Yeah.
Scott (10:57):
Ten points yesterday.
Graham (11:01):
One game.
One game.
I mean, okay, out of the teamsthat are still 3-0 that are left
, I mean, are they that muchbetter than what we were saying
of the Packers?
Scott (11:14):
Not at all, Not at all.
But the quarterback position,Jordan Love.
It's not his rookie season, bro.
Announcer (11:23):
Yeah.
Scott (11:24):
He's been in this league for Since 2020.
He was in the same draft classas Herbie.
Announcer (11:31):
Yeah.
Scott (11:32):
Dude, you don't audible out of that run.
Graham (11:38):
Well, he knows that now yeah.
Scott (11:42):
But I don't know, dude, tampa and the jets, like you, me
and Audrey, we have thatsurvivor thing and oh, dude if
they would have lost 70 of theleague, 60% of survivors would
have been done.
And, dude, she's literallytexting me.
(12:03):
Yesterday morning she goes Idon't feel good about this Tampa
game.
I want to take Washington andI'm like Audrey Mariota is
starting the game for you guys.
Yes, I know it's the Raiders,but your backup is starting.
I don't like it and thank God,like I said, I was driving home
(12:24):
and missed the end of the Tampagame.
Yeah, because if they wouldhave lost, oh my girl, audrey
would have Bad.
Announcer (12:32):
I would have never heard the end of it.
Scott (12:34):
Never heard the end of it .
Speaking of Audrey, I knowyou're in new york next week.
Not sure when we're gonnarecord next week.
Maybe you, I don't know.
You get home monday, so maybetuesday night, but the chargers
play the redskins the followingweek.
Oh, and week five, and I'vealready talked to her, she's
(12:57):
coming on all right this time.
Hopefully we don't have thetechnical difficulties.
Yeah, like we did the originaltime, but she's agreed to come
on, so should be we're all goodyeah, 100.
Anyhow, let's just jump rightinto your game.
Dude, did I hear it right thatthat was Tomlin's first win at
(13:20):
Gillette Stadium?
I think I heard that.
Announcer (13:24):
Hmm.
Scott (13:26):
Yeah, almost positive.
Announcer (13:29):
I'd have to go back.
Scott (13:30):
You got the dub with 50% of your defensive starters out.
I mean.
Graham (13:37):
There's.
You know, as they say, there'salways silver linings.
Look, we got the dub.
That's everyone.
Golf clap hat on the back,that's numero uno.
It doesn't matter, as they say,if you win by an inch or a mile
, you got to get that dub.
Scott (13:52):
A hundred percent.
And, hey Rob, did you hear whatGraham just said?
Graham, can you say it one moretime?
Graham (13:58):
It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile.
A dub is a dub.
Scott (14:02):
Thanks.
Announcer (14:02):
Graham.
Graham (14:03):
You're welcome.
There was no point.
Well, I can't say no point.
There was a glimmer ofexcitement in the first quarter
when we were actually moving theball down the field.
Our receivers were catching it.
Warren was doing good runningthe ball.
We scored 14 points in thefirst quarter and didn't score
(14:25):
nothing else until what twominutes left in the game.
Our defense couldn't stop anosebleed they're not supposed
to, though.
Do you think of the Patriots asa solid running team?
I mean, dude, if you take awaythe two fumbles from Ramadri
(14:45):
Stevenson, especially the onethat was right before the goal
line.
I don't know if you saw that.
Scott (14:49):
I did not.
Graham (14:50):
Yeah, like we knocked it out with him on the one-yard
line as he was going into theend zone.
Dude, two fumbles from him.
We had a pick in the end zoneright before halftime.
Like we had five turnovers inthat game and barely won.
Scott (15:07):
You got the win though.
Graham (15:08):
Yes, I mean I get it.
Scott (15:10):
I know the offensive line looks like shit I mean, look,
don't even talk to me aboutoffensive line, okay.
Graham (15:17):
At least you got Pro Bowl players on your offensive
line.
Scott (15:21):
Yeah, we have two on the roster.
Oh, gibbs of the Tutty, we havetwo on the roster, but only
one's playing.
Graham (15:30):
That's one more than we got.
Scott (15:32):
Our big free agent signing Becton leaves in the
second quarter with a concussionDude.
We had three different playersplaying right guard yesterday.
Announcer (15:41):
Yeah.
Scott (15:44):
But anyhow, goodbye.
I'm sorry.
Graham (15:45):
No, no, you're fine.
I just, you know, it's like Tomand the Steelers are just
juggling things up in the airand just hoping like, all right,
hopefully we won't dropsomething, let's just keep
trying something else.
You know, the offense looksstagnant for a solid two
quarters.
The thing is I was excited toget DK.
(16:06):
He's a beast, he's an animal,but DK is a number one.
But when you think of a true,legit number one, do you think
of DK or do you think of CD?
Do you think of dk or do youthink of cd?
Do you think of aj brown?
Do you think you know all theguys?
I just, I'm not unhappy like wedidn't spend that much money to
(16:29):
get metcalf, but it's just likeI'm watching it.
He only had four catches.
None of his catches were over10 yards, maybe one of them.
Scott (16:41):
They're not running him down the field.
And now I'm hearing peopleblasting Warren.
Graham (16:46):
He has no running lanes.
What's?
He supposed to do.
I mean we still need anothercomplimentary back.
I mean Caleb Johnson's notgoing to see the field for
another eight weeks just becausehe's getting punished right now
.
Rightfully so, I I get it, butit's just any given week any
given sunday look from whatminnesota looked like the
(17:08):
previous week until what theylooked like yesterday.
What minnesota team's gonnashow up in ireland, who knows?
Dude, what steeler team isshowing up, who knows?
Scott (17:21):
what's jj mccarthy thinking right now?
Graham (17:26):
he's starting.
Scott (17:27):
I mean, you're not, don't winces is wincing playing or
mccarthy's not playing againstyou guys next week probably not
no yeah, I granted.
A lot of their points werescored by.
Well, it took six, yeah, but.
Graham (17:44):
It's just like dude.
Their defense is solid.
You know they made, was it?
Chad, Browning is his name, Imean they disrupted him.
He looked like what a backuplooked like.
He didn't look like he did theprevious week, so I think a lot
of it has to do with being onhome turf, so that way next week
you know neutral.
Scott (18:04):
Who knows what to expect in Ireland.
Graham (18:07):
Yeah, I mean I don't know.
I mean I think that gives us alittle advantage, I don't know.
I also don't know if that's ourhome game or not.
I don't know.
Scott (18:18):
I think you're laying three points too yeah, we are or
no.
You're getting three points, ohwell getting laying.
Graham (18:26):
I ain't touching either side of it.
So like how how could you?
I mean just watching that game,I'm just like I don't want to
touch any of this.
And the thing thing is, I likethat Two and a half.
You're getting two and a half.
I think it went down.
I mean, I like our weapons,it's just the offense.
Just can't get in a groove tothrow to the open guys, whether
(18:49):
it be Friermuth, whether it beCalvin Austin, I mean Roman
Wilson, maybe.
I don't even think he played asnap, is he?
Scott (18:58):
still banged up.
Graham (19:01):
No, it's just, he didn't get to play last year, so he
just hasn't had enough snapswith the offense.
And that plus the fact him andCalvin Austin III are pretty
much the same player.
They're the same guy, so it'slike why would you have two of
those guys out there?
You know what I mean.
Scott (19:16):
I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
Because Ladd McConkie andKeenan Allen are basically the
same player, and how's thatworking out?
We'll get to that in a minute.
Graham (19:25):
But they're not, though.
I mean both.
My wide receiver, dude, keenanAllen, is not 5'5" or 5'7" at
best.
Neither is Ladd.
Yeah, but I'm just saying atleast one, yeah, but Ladd, I'm
sorry.
Keenan used to be a number one.
I'm not saying he's not anumber one, but I'm just saying
(19:47):
you could say he's thetraditional play on the outside,
even though he did play on theinside.
It's different roles, grantedolder in his career, plays a
different spot.
I mean, like, I get it, butit's just, I'd rather take those
two versus my two.
So watching the rest of thegame, yeah, it's just.
(20:08):
It's like I'm at this pointwhere it's just like is watching
a game to be frustrated worthwatching the game?
Like I'm still watching,watching it don't get me wrong,
but what little hair I have left.
I'm just like pulling it outevery time I watch them play.
I think a lot of it has to dowith, you know, my the hopes
(20:30):
that I had for the team weresignificantly greater than how
they're playing right now.
But also that does come back tohey.
Half of our defense is hurt.
So it's like it's a give andtake with a lot of things.
So I'm hoping, with the byeweek, the following week, give
some time to people to heal up.
Scott (20:48):
Week five is your bye after Ireland, right, yeah, okay
37, big play right here in thisgame.
Graham (20:54):
Yeah, and then, of course, we host the Packers on
Sunday Night Football week six.
Scott (21:00):
Oh, what a catch.
It was a.
Graham (21:01):
Oh, there we go.
Do they still not know whoquote unquote number one wide
receivers a flowers is.
Have they thrown it to him?
Scott (21:09):
Yeah, he's gotten, I think one or two catches.
Graham (21:12):
Can he get three more?
I mean and by three I mean four.
Scott (21:16):
Kind of like last night with the Giants and neighbors
Oof.
I just but anyhow, steelers 2-1, going to Ireland Real quick
something I had to bring up.
Houston 0-3.
Lost to the Jags in Duval Dudesomething I have to bring up
(21:40):
because this is just one ofthose mind-boggling stats.
Last year, the entire season,the entire season, the Jaguars
had six interceptions Throughthree games.
This year they have seven.
Graham (22:04):
The Travis Hunter effect .
Scott (22:06):
I don't even know if he has one.
Graham (22:08):
He doesn't.
I don't think.
Scott (22:12):
I mean, how crazy is that ?
I saw that, I heard ityesterday.
I'm like my lord.
And has there ever been abigger fall off than cj stroud?
Dude, yeah, their o-line sucks.
Well, guess what?
If your o-line sucks, youprobably don't want to trade
your perennial all pro left,tackle to washington, tackle to
(22:36):
Washington.
Yeah, yeah, they had someissues, but whatever, I don't
disagree.
Anyhow, shame on me that I fellin love with a stupid Ohio
state quarterback and fantasyand and traded away For him.
Oh God, what an absolute moron.
(22:56):
You know what it calls for aScotty Law.
Slap yourself in the face, ohioState quarterback.
I mean, come on, I'll givemyself three.
I mean, what are you thinking?
Graham (23:09):
To be fair, I mean I probably still would have made
the trade that you did last year.
I mean I wouldn't have done itafter week four, although with
where you are right now, youmight be doing a trade out after
week three.
But like you didn't see thatcoming, no one saw that coming.
No, he's just no.
I mean he's in the drought,trust me especially with his
(23:32):
weapons he has.
Scott (23:33):
Yeah, but I don't know who knows who cares.
I just whatever, I don'tdisagree.
Blow up the team, whatever,don't care.
I'd rather real team win thanfantasy team win.
And, oh boy, your boy's team iswinning.
Dude, before we even get intoit, nause Najee heartbroken for
(23:59):
the guy.
Yeah, we got the dub yesterday.
Najee gone, dude.
You know, like everybody says,chargers are cursed with
injuries.
Najee never misses a game forthe Steelers.
In four seasons, never.
That's why we signed himReliable One-year deal.
(24:19):
Shoots himself in the face witha firework on the 4th of July,
and then Achilles yesterday, ughwhat.
Graham (24:32):
You make it sound like one thing leads to another, but
I mean no, neither one of themhas to do it.
I know he just started.
Scott (24:38):
You know it's game three.
We just started getting himgoing, gave him more carries.
He looked good against theraiders, he had some good runs
yesterday and then that happens,dude, he is a perfect
compliment.
Graham (24:51):
Back to what hampton, does you need someone to run in
between the tackles?
Give you those tough yards.
Scott (24:56):
That's what he's in for and I don't know if you saw it
today.
It was like talking aboutHerbert.
They were like Herbert's agoddang psycho.
The play that Najee slips,falls, ruptures his Achilles.
Herbert jumps over him and justthrows a laser for a first down
for 15 yards, not phased, notanything.
(25:17):
He's like, don't worry aboutthat, bro.
Heal up for a first down for 15yards, not phased, not anything
.
What?
Graham (25:20):
He's like don't worry about that, bro, heal up, I got
you.
Yeah, dude.
Scott (25:24):
So I mean, like I was saying earlier, offensive line
issues.
Now we lose Najee.
It's like we got to dosomething.
You're not getting offensivelinemen from anybody until
somebody goes over.
Oh my God, did they fumble that?
Announcer (25:39):
No, okay, they already called him down.
Scott (25:43):
It's like what are you going to do?
I saw some rumblings.
I talked to you earlier aboutBrees Hall.
He's on the end of his rookiedeal.
The Jets already said they'renot resigning him.
It's a classic Joe Ortiz movedude you trade the Jets a fifth
rounder.
He was the second round draftpick.
If he walks free agency, youget a fourth round comp pick.
(26:05):
So you got this dude for arental and you move up a spot in
the draft.
To think that.
Graham (26:12):
Brees Hall would only be a fifth is ridiculous.
Scott (26:15):
I saw Kamara to the Chargers.
One that really interests me isTyler Algier from the Falcons.
That would make sense.
Announcer (26:25):
I'd be surprised That'd be another one.
Scott (26:27):
Yeah, but you know it is what it is.
Is Lamar going to get sackedagain?
Oh my God, how does he keeprunning?
Oh my oh, he just got.
Wow, are they in field goalrange?
Announcer (26:42):
I have no idea, I don't know either.
Scott (26:46):
All I know is the Lions defense is swarming.
But back to my game.
Real quick, something I sawearlier.
Dude, yesterday, okay yeah,herbert was hit 14 times by the
broncos.
That's the most by a chargersquarterback in 20 years.
(27:06):
Herbert was running for hislife, dude, running for his life
.
And guess what, don't care.
I mean, I thought we were done,I thought we were gonna lose,
but hey, this team feels oh mygod, he missed it.
Did that go in?
I think that made it oh my god,it barely clipped, oh yeah,
(27:32):
baltimore, can we get a freakingstop here?
Graham (27:36):
I know, as a steeler fan , this is difficult to say, but
yeah, speaking of difficult tosay that's.
Scott (27:43):
I don't know if I told you this yesterday.
Uh, you know bucky big ohiostate guy, yeah, uh, when the
chargers finally won the game,uh, he said something to me that
I had to screenshot that I'll.
He goes, boom LFG.
I love Harbaugh and I didn'teven respond, I just had to take
(28:08):
a screenshot of it.
So tonight, put him on blast ina text thread with me and
T-Bone.
It was hilarious, it wasclassic.
But hey, your boys stoked.
Chargers look great.
Defense is swarming, dude.
But you know, it's only threeweeks.
A lot of shit can happen.
(28:30):
A lot of shit can happen, yeah,but hey, first time since 2002,
the Chargers are 3-0.
What Drew Brees was, ourquarterback back then.
The best part of that 3-0 isthey were all division opponents
.
Announcer (28:49):
Yeah.
Scott (28:50):
Which is huge, huge, I mean first team since the 2006
Bears to open a season 3-0, withall three wins against teams in
their division.
Announcer (29:02):
Wow yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's right.
All the games have beendivision games.
Wow yeah.
Scott (29:09):
And the crazy thing to me is dude and your boy himself
stressing about the widereceivers.
Stressing about the widereceivers?
Well, in comes Keenan QuentinJohnson decides he's going to
learn how to catch the ball.
Dude, through three games,there's not a better wide
(29:32):
receiver corpse on one team outthere, dude.
Graham (29:37):
You would have never said that.
No, the crazy thing is Ladd,doesn't even have never said
that.
Scott (29:39):
No, the crazy thing is, lad doesn't even have a tutty.
Announcer (29:43):
Yeah.
Scott (29:44):
Dude Keenan 19 receptions for 190 yards, three tutties.
He's got a touchdown in everygame this year.
Graham (29:52):
I know.
Scott (29:53):
Quentin Johnson 19 receptions for two, 39, three,
tutties.
Graham (29:59):
Did they give Keenan a contract or an incentive-based
contract or something?
You get 10 tutties, you get anextra mil or something Like
what's that?
An extra two million Likewhat's up?
Scott (30:11):
And the thing that I love the most about yesterday, the
tight end we drafted fifth round, sixth roundatson from syracuse
dude.
He had five receptions, yeah,seven targets, and not only the
five receptions, but two ofthose receptions were on the
game-winning drive yeah herbielikes him, herbie trusts him.
(30:35):
Dude, it's, it's week three.
Graham (30:41):
And if I would have told you that the second place team
in your division would be oneand two.
Right now, I mean, you guys arethree and oh, and then it's one
and two, one and two and oh andthree.
Yeah, and the only three teamis the Kansas city chiefs.
Scott (30:55):
No, no, they're one and two.
Graham (30:57):
Oh, one and two, I'm sorry.
Announcer (30:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, my bad, they won lastnight.
Scott (31:00):
Yeah, but hey, I don't know if I sent it to you last
night on Instagram.
Somebody I've talked a lot ofshit about on this podcast, h,
whatever his name is.
Announcer (31:11):
Yeah.
Scott (31:12):
The biggest hater of Justin Herbert.
Graham (31:17):
Did you see his apology post last night?
Scott (31:18):
No, showed you showed it to me today.
Yeah, hey.
And like somebody said, why iseverybody now just recognizing
herbert?
He's been doing this shit sincehe got drafted and you can, you
can do that deep breath all youwant.
Okay.
Most game-winning drives since2020 the leader of the pack,
kermit the Frog, with 19.
(31:39):
I will take a shot right now ifyou can tell me who number two
is.
Graham (31:46):
Well, judging based off what you were saying, it's not
Herbie.
Number two Game-winning drives.
Yeah since 2020.
Since 2020?
I mean, is it Herbert?
Scott (32:02):
No, so no, kirk Cousins at 18 game, winning drive since
2020.
Graham (32:07):
Yeah, Kirk Cousins would not have been the answer.
Scott (32:12):
Herbert's at 17.
He's third.
He's third.
Graham (32:18):
Yeah, but that's also a slightly slated stat in the
sense of Well, a game-winningdrive is not a good stat.
Scott (32:26):
Did your team win?
Graham (32:27):
Yeah, but you only have game-winning drives when your
team is down.
Okay, my point is if you're agood enough team, you're not
having to come back in games.
Scott (32:37):
Would you rather him not have 17 game-winning drives?
Graham (32:42):
You know what I'm trying to say.
Scott (32:45):
Anyhow, I'm stoked.
It's a great start.
We got to do something with theoffensive line.
I mean, like your Steelers, Idon't care who the quarterback
is back there, you ain't gottime, you ain't got no chance.
But I mean, herbert took apounding yesterday.
Dude, I know you were probablywatching Red Zone, but it was
like, oh my God, yeah.
Graham (33:06):
Holy shit, they played him a bunch, but yeah, I mean he
took a pounding.
Scott (33:10):
But I mean something I want to bring up.
You know everybody has beengoing into this season.
Who was the sexy pick thateverybody was talking so much
about?
The Broncos, as they shouldhave right.
Their defense is sick.
They signed Greenlaw.
They had the defensive playerof the year, Patrick Sertan,
(33:31):
back there.
You know Bo Nix in his secondseason.
Dude, go on Bleacher Report andgo on the Broncos fan page
right now.
Graham (33:42):
Get him, wow, get him.
Yes, oh, praise the Lord.
Announcer (33:49):
Sorry, no, you're good.
Graham (33:51):
Finally got a three and out.
Well, not a three and out, butI mean a stop on third down.
Oh praise the Lord, we needthis.
Scott (34:00):
Dude people are blasting Bo Nix, Calling for Stidham to
make a start next week, dude,tons, the Chargers got lucky.
Granted, everything happens fora reason, fact.
But three passes, dude, wideopen receivers Not even close.
That could have been tutties,but anyhow, dude, let's talk
(34:29):
about some injuries, man,because there was a shit ton
this week.
Holy crap, we just talked aboutNajee James Conner, your boy
from Erie.
I guess they didn't even showthe replay of that injury, but I
saw it today and it was notcool.
Graham (34:45):
Yeah, I mean it's.
No, the angle's not perfect,but it's like you see where it
is and which way it went andit's just.
It's tough See, Liam, that typeof injury, Bro, in the same
game, Bosa ACL done.
Scott (35:06):
And Cee-Lam, he's running the ball.
You got a top three widereceiver in the league.
Graham (35:18):
Look, jefferson does it, omar, St Brown does it, I'm on,
st Brown does it.
I mean, it's not.
You know, it's one of thosetrick plays you got to throw it
in every once in a while.
I mean, like I get it.
Look, everything's all gravyuntil something happens.
Yeah man, I just feel bad forConnor because you know, with
Benson there, you know now himgetting the full load.
(35:39):
It's just like Connor what he'sbeen in the league for eight
years now.
Dude, you're telling me anine-year running back in the
league is going to come backafter an ACL or Achilles I'm
sorry, was that Achilles?
No, connor, just straight break.
It's just like.
(36:01):
I just feel bad about thesituation.
I mean, look, with technologynow and advancements, you know
he could come back.
But I mean, if, if the leaguealready under appreciates
running backs as it is, what itwasn't be a vet minimum, prove
it.
Deal just how much.
How much is trey's it going tobe A vet minimum?
Prove-it deal.
Scott (36:22):
How much is Trey Benson going for on waiver wires this
week If he's not already taken?
Graham (36:26):
I'm sure he should be taken.
Scott (36:29):
If he's not taken in your league, can you please invite
Graham and I to be in yourleague next year?
Announcer (36:33):
Yeah exactly.
Graham (36:36):
Dude, there's still a lot of leagues that people
haven't taken, and, at thispoint, rightfully so.
I mean, how many leagues wouldyou say?
Olave is still available and hewas a top 60 pick.
Scott (36:48):
Yeah.
Graham (36:48):
Top 60 overall pick.
Scott (36:49):
Yeah.
Graham (36:50):
According to all the major.
You know what I mean.
Scott (36:52):
Like I just hey, with all that being said and all this
sad news, the saddest thing iscould you imagine being a
Falcons fan, Dude?
All this sad news, the saddestthing is could you imagine being
a Falcons fan, Dude?
They went on the road last week.
Was it Sunday night football?
Announcer (37:08):
Yeah.
Scott (37:09):
Beat Minnesota and then they come home, or were they?
I think they were in CarolinaDude.
Graham (37:18):

Scott (37:19):
What happened?
Graham (37:21):
Derek Henry just fumbled the ball.
Scott (37:23):
Oh my God, For his third time this year.
But anyhow, falcons, if youthought your team played bad
this week, just know the Falconsnever crossed the 30-yard line
all day.
Think about that.
Hutchinson with the punch out,wow, wow, unbelievable.
Graham (37:47):
You ever heard that saying whatever goes up must
come down?
Scott (37:51):
Yeah, oh, derrick Henry's helmet just went up and just
went down, and then he just ateshit.
Dude, come on man.
Graham (38:04):
I just that's last week, yay, that's this week.
Take the shovel out and bury me, like just literally bury me.
Unbelievable.
Look what's obvious apparentlyis not obvious.
Like we were just saying, theFalcons, what, Especially for
(38:25):
how poorly the Carolina Pantherslooked?
And I get it any given Sunday,I get it.
I get it.
I get it.
But who saw that coming?
Anyone?
I'll wait here.
Anyone?
Scott (38:39):
Dude, you wanted to take the texans and survivor I?
Graham (38:43):
I mean, no, it was, I brought it up.
I didn't say well, youmentioned it.
Yeah, oh, perfect, there you go, just get another five yards.
Yes, derrick, henry, keepcrying you, you did screw us.
Thank you, you're garbage.
Scott (39:03):
Three fumbles and a face mask on the offense.
Graham (39:06):
Oh hey, that negates the first down 10-yard run they
just had.
Oh my lord yeah, hold that facemask.
Scott (39:14):
Now can we just get a Laporta touchdown please?
Graham (39:18):
I mean at this point, can I get a pick six?
Yeah, please, only running backwith a fumble in each of the
first three games of the season.
Derek Henry.
Round of applause.
Scott (39:34):
Rob just texted me.
He goes we are watching therapid decline of King Henry.
I can't believe I need some.
Well, I'm going to lose thatanyway, Henry.
I can't believe I need some.
Well, I'm going to lose thatanyway, because Ravens ain't
winning.
So screw you, Jared Goff, andyour passing attempts.
Graham (39:50):
Yeah, he's not going to pass now.
Scott (39:52):
It's hand of the ball off .
Hand of the ball off.

would be shocked.
Yeah well, dude, the Packerscouldn't stop a nosebleed.
And by the Packers, slap myselfthe.
Scott (40:57):
Cowboys, you mean Cowboys ?
Graham (40:58):
Yeah, their defense.
What they made Caleb Williamslook like Herbert.
Scott (41:04):
They could sure use a pass rusher huh.
Graham (41:06):
Yeah, exactly that's what I'm saying, especially
after what happened last week.
Dude, there's two games heavyTaking the bills.
Heavy, dude, the bills could beminus 14 and a half.
I'm still taking them.
Scott (41:23):
How did that work out last week when they were minus
12 and a half against theDolphins?
Graham (41:27):
Yeah, that was the Dolphins.
You know who they're playing on?
Do you know who they're playing?
Scott (41:31):
The Aints.
Graham (41:32):
Yeah, if they can't beat the Saints at home.
Scott (41:35):
You mean the team that gave up 38 points in the first
half yesterday against Seattle.
Graham (41:41):
Another slap myself moment.
They got that first touchdownright.
The Seahawks' first quarter wasseven and a half for the
quarter and I'm like and thiswas like eight minutes, nine
minutes left I was like I shouldbet this, especially for plus
155.
I looked at something else andthen completely forgot about it
(42:03):
and then they scored two moretouchdowns and I was just like
what, what?
Scott (42:10):
Hey, Brandon Staley, how's that defense working out
for you in New Orleans?
Graham (42:15):
If Josh Allen doesn't throw it all over the yard on
them.
I like it's not a trap game,but it's a.
It's a trap game in the senseof we're just not going to beat
you into the ground, we'll justyou know, you know it's just
like those animals that like toplay with their food, you know
what I mean Like they'll bitethem to the point where it's
(42:35):
just like you're not goinganywhere.
We're just not going to finishyou off, we're just going to let
you move around a little bit,give you a little bit of hope,
but then just nibble here,nibble there.
That's what's going to happen.
That and then heavy on thePackers, with no CeeDee Lamb and
(42:56):
that defense.
Scott (42:58):
Yeah, and Pickens pouting already on the sideline
yesterday.

like dude, really, chargers arein town, you're in the Ryder
Cup, you're a caddy.
Sucks to be you Joking, right,yeah, right, obviously joking,
but anyhow, let's jump right in.
(05:46):
Dude.
Week three slate of the NFL.
Dude, yesterday was so crazythe way games were ending and
everything, and I know this isterrible I couldn't even tell
you who the Thursday night gamewas without thinking I mean, I'm
not looking, but, dude, I wasthinking about that because
(06:12):
normally we like week threekicks off on Thursday night,
dude.
I'm like don't look, I know,Right.
Yesterday just blew my mind.
I mean, I'm not even going inorder.
Oh, I know what it is.
Graham (06:28):
I remember it was the Buffalo game, that's right.
Scott (06:31):
Yeah, that's right.
All right, good job.
Graham (06:33):
Yay, good job.
What was that yeah?
Scott (06:38):
I couldn't even think I mean.
All I can say is you trydriving going 60 miles an hour
and you got your phone on redzone.
Thank you YouTube TV.
It's the greatest inventionever.
And you're driving and tryingto pay attention to everything
and as you're driving, you'relike watching the end of the
Eagles Rams game and JordanDavis and his 330 pound ass is
(07:01):
running a blocked field goalback.
They clocked him at 18.6 milesan hour.
Graham (07:09):
It looked like he was jogging.
Scott (07:11):
I'm sorry, what.
Graham (07:14):
I can't run that fast.
Scott (07:16):
A dude that big 18.6?
.
Graham (07:21):
He beat both of us in a race.
Scott (07:23):
Combined, bro, if you and I hit 18 combined, I'd be
shocked, dude.
One of the coolest things I saw, though, was like a fans video
after they scored in the endzone where he scored and the
whole team like ran down there.
Somehow, cooper dejean ends upin the stands.
What it was sick, it was soawesome.
The whole team's like rightthere up in the stands.
(07:43):
What it was sick, it was soawesome.
The whole team's like rightthere up against the railing.
Cooper Djean is like jumping ontop of somebody.
Somebody jumps under him.
He's in the stands.
All these fans are likehigh-fiving Cooper.
It was sick, unbelievable.
Dude, eagles Down Getting boatraced.
Dude, go forward on fourth.
(08:05):
Get the tutty.
Then go for a two-pointconversion.
Miss it.
The Rams have a chance to winBlocked.
Thanks for playing.
Your boy wins a bet because hehad the Eagles minus three and a
half.
I mean, that's what good teamsdo?
Graham (08:23):
They not only win, win, but they cover bro, I'm glad you
brought that up, because everyother sports better in the world
that took them plus three and ahalf is mfing up and down the
street right now.
Scott (08:36):
So yeah, if you lost that , oh, oh, he gone.
Oh, he's gonna get caught, hegone, going to get caught, he
gone.
Oh, he got caught.
Now throw it to Laporta.
Graham (08:48):
Oh my God, Montgomery Dude, the Ravens can't stop a
nosebleed right now, if you hadthe Rams plus three and a half
yesterday and you lost that.
Scott (08:59):
You probably should think about giving up betting.
Graham (09:02):
Like a lot of games, if things would have just gone to
plan, not to plan even.
I mean, look, the packers game,as we were just talking about
earlier, if they run the ballinstead of throwing it to run
the, they run the clock out.
I mean, look, they still don'twin the spread, but at least
they stay alive.
I?
I mean I had a couple teasersthat still had the Browns I'm
(09:26):
sorry, the Packers at minus onestill was no good, I'm like.
And the worst part is the onlything that excited me with the
Browns winning was hey, there'sgoing to be a lot of people that
get knocked out of Survivor.
Scott (09:40):
And by God, there was a lot.
Graham (09:43):
Not as many as I thought , but there was definitely a lot
for sure.
Scott (09:46):
Well, I mean, just look at the Browns' first two games.
Yeah, how good is that defense?
I mean, defense is stupid.
I don't know if you saw thatone picture where the Packers
had three dudes trying to blockGarrett.
It was insane.
Announcer (10:03):
Yeah, I saw that.
Scott (10:05):
Insane.
And the other dude, the rookiefrom Michigan, graham, he's
having a dude.
He's having an amazing start,but once again you just said it,
dude.
I was watching ESPN thismorning that third down play.
It was originally called as arun play.
(10:25):
Jordan Love audibles out of itIf they run.
Remember the saying sometimes apunt is a good play.
Graham (10:38):
Not in this NFL.
Scott (10:39):
Dude, dude, the Browns can't do anything all game, and
you know, myself included, dude,the Browns can't do anything
all game.
And you know myself, includedyourself.
We were all crowning thePackers right through two weeks
Calling them they're winning theSuper Bowl.
Graham (10:56):
Yeah.
Scott (10:57):
Ten points yesterday.
Graham (11:01):
One game.
One game.
I mean, okay, out of the teamsthat are still 3-0 that are left
, I mean, are they that muchbetter than what we were saying
of the Packers?
Scott (11:14):
Not at all, Not at all.
But the quarterback position,Jordan Love.
It's not his rookie season, bro.
Announcer (11:23):
Yeah.
Scott (11:24):
He's been in this league for Since 2020.
He was in the same draft classas Herbie.
Announcer (11:31):
Yeah.
Scott (11:32):
Dude, you don't audible out of that run.
Graham (11:38):
Well, he knows that now yeah.
Scott (11:42):
But I don't know, dude, tampa and the jets, like you, me
and Audrey, we have thatsurvivor thing and oh, dude if
they would have lost 70 of theleague, 60% of survivors would
have been done.
And, dude, she's literallytexting me.
(12:03):
Yesterday morning she goes Idon't feel good about this Tampa
game.
I want to take Washington andI'm like Audrey Mariota is
starting the game for you guys.
Yes, I know it's the Raiders,but your backup is starting.
I don't like it and thank God,like I said, I was driving home
(12:24):
and missed the end of the Tampagame.
Yeah, because if they wouldhave lost, oh my girl, audrey
would have Bad.
Announcer (12:32):
I would have never heard the end of it.
Scott (12:34):
Never heard the end of it .
Speaking of Audrey, I knowyou're in new york next week.
Not sure when we're gonnarecord next week.
Maybe you, I don't know.
You get home monday, so maybetuesday night, but the chargers
play the redskins the followingweek.
Oh, and week five, and I'vealready talked to her, she's
(12:57):
coming on all right this time.
Hopefully we don't have thetechnical difficulties.
Yeah, like we did the originaltime, but she's agreed to come
on, so should be we're all goodyeah, 100.
Anyhow, let's just jump rightinto your game.
Dude, did I hear it right thatthat was Tomlin's first win at
(13:20):
Gillette Stadium?
I think I heard that.
Announcer (13:24):
Hmm.
Scott (13:26):
Yeah, almost positive.
Announcer (13:29):
I'd have to go back.
Scott (13:30):
You got the dub with 50% of your defensive starters out.
I mean.
Graham (13:37):
There's.
You know, as they say, there'salways silver linings.
Look, we got the dub.
That's everyone.
Golf clap hat on the back,that's numero uno.
It doesn't matter, as they say,if you win by an inch or a mile
, you got to get that dub.
Scott (13:52):
A hundred percent.
And, hey Rob, did you hear whatGraham just said?
Graham, can you say it one moretime?
Graham (13:58):
It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile.
A dub is a dub.
Scott (14:02):
Thanks.
Announcer (14:02):
Graham.
Graham (14:03):
You're welcome.
There was no point.
Well, I can't say no point.
There was a glimmer ofexcitement in the first quarter
when we were actually moving theball down the field.
Our receivers were catching it.
Warren was doing good runningthe ball.
We scored 14 points in thefirst quarter and didn't score
(14:25):
nothing else until what twominutes left in the game.
Our defense couldn't stop anosebleed they're not supposed
to, though.
Do you think of the Patriots asa solid running team?
I mean, dude, if you take awaythe two fumbles from Ramadri
(14:45):
Stevenson, especially the onethat was right before the goal
line.
I don't know if you saw that.
Scott (14:49):
I did not.
Graham (14:50):
Yeah, like we knocked it out with him on the one-yard
line as he was going into theend zone.
Dude, two fumbles from him.
We had a pick in the end zoneright before halftime.
Like we had five turnovers inthat game and barely won.
Scott (15:07):
You got the win though.
Graham (15:08):
Yes, I mean I get it.
Scott (15:10):
I know the offensive line looks like shit I mean, look,
don't even talk to me aboutoffensive line, okay.
Graham (15:17):
At least you got Pro Bowl players on your offensive
line.
Scott (15:21):
Yeah, we have two on the roster.
Oh, gibbs of the Tutty, we havetwo on the roster, but only
one's playing.
Graham (15:30):
That's one more than we got.
Scott (15:32):
Our big free agent signing Becton leaves in the
second quarter with a concussionDude.
We had three different playersplaying right guard yesterday.
Announcer (15:41):
Yeah.
Scott (15:44):
But anyhow, goodbye.
I'm sorry.
Graham (15:45):
No, no, you're fine.
I just, you know, it's like Tomand the Steelers are just
juggling things up in the airand just hoping like, all right,
hopefully we won't dropsomething, let's just keep
trying something else.
You know, the offense looksstagnant for a solid two
quarters.
The thing is I was excited toget DK.
(16:06):
He's a beast, he's an animal,but DK is a number one.
But when you think of a true,legit number one, do you think
of DK or do you think of CD?
Do you think of dk or do youthink of cd?
Do you think of aj brown?
Do you think you know all theguys?
I just, I'm not unhappy like wedidn't spend that much money to
(16:29):
get metcalf, but it's just likeI'm watching it.
He only had four catches.
None of his catches were over10 yards, maybe one of them.
Scott (16:41):
They're not running him down the field.
And now I'm hearing peopleblasting Warren.
Graham (16:46):
He has no running lanes.
What's?
He supposed to do.
I mean we still need anothercomplimentary back.
I mean Caleb Johnson's notgoing to see the field for
another eight weeks just becausehe's getting punished right now
.
Rightfully so, I I get it, butit's just any given week any
given sunday look from whatminnesota looked like the
(17:08):
previous week until what theylooked like yesterday.
What minnesota team's gonnashow up in ireland, who knows?
Dude, what steeler team isshowing up, who knows?
Scott (17:21):
what's jj mccarthy thinking right now?
Graham (17:26):
he's starting.
Scott (17:27):
I mean, you're not, don't winces is wincing playing or
mccarthy's not playing againstyou guys next week probably not
no yeah, I granted.
A lot of their points werescored by.
Well, it took six, yeah, but.
Graham (17:44):
It's just like dude.
Their defense is solid.
You know they made, was it?
Chad, Browning is his name, Imean they disrupted him.
He looked like what a backuplooked like.
He didn't look like he did theprevious week, so I think a lot
of it has to do with being onhome turf, so that way next week
you know neutral.
Scott (18:04):
Who knows what to expect in Ireland.
Graham (18:07):
Yeah, I mean I don't know.
I mean I think that gives us alittle advantage, I don't know.
I also don't know if that's ourhome game or not.
I don't know.
Scott (18:18):
I think you're laying three points too yeah, we are or
no.
You're getting three points, ohwell getting laying.
Graham (18:26):
I ain't touching either side of it.
So like how how could you?
I mean just watching that game,I'm just like I don't want to
touch any of this.
And the thing thing is, I likethat Two and a half.
You're getting two and a half.
I think it went down.
I mean, I like our weapons,it's just the offense.
Just can't get in a groove tothrow to the open guys, whether
(18:49):
it be Friermuth, whether it beCalvin Austin, I mean Roman
Wilson, maybe.
I don't even think he played asnap, is he?
Scott (18:58):
still banged up.
Graham (19:01):
No, it's just, he didn't get to play last year, so he
just hasn't had enough snapswith the offense.
And that plus the fact him andCalvin Austin III are pretty
much the same player.
They're the same guy, so it'slike why would you have two of
those guys out there?
You know what I mean.
Scott (19:16):
I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
I'll tell you why.
Because Ladd McConkie andKeenan Allen are basically the
same player, and how's thatworking out?
We'll get to that in a minute.
Graham (19:25):
But they're not, though.
I mean both.
My wide receiver, dude, keenanAllen, is not 5'5" or 5'7" at
best.
Neither is Ladd.
Yeah, but I'm just saying atleast one, yeah, but Ladd, I'm
sorry.
Keenan used to be a number one.
I'm not saying he's not anumber one, but I'm just saying
(19:47):
you could say he's thetraditional play on the outside,
even though he did play on theinside.
It's different roles, grantedolder in his career, plays a
different spot.
I mean, like, I get it, butit's just, I'd rather take those
two versus my two.
So watching the rest of thegame, yeah, it's just.
(20:08):
It's like I'm at this pointwhere it's just like is watching
a game to be frustrated worthwatching the game?
Like I'm still watching,watching it don't get me wrong,
but what little hair I have left.
I'm just like pulling it outevery time I watch them play.
I think a lot of it has to dowith, you know, my the hopes
(20:30):
that I had for the team weresignificantly greater than how
they're playing right now.
But also that does come back tohey.
Half of our defense is hurt.
So it's like it's a give andtake with a lot of things.
So I'm hoping, with the byeweek, the following week, give
some time to people to heal up.
Scott (20:48):
Week five is your bye after Ireland, right, yeah, okay
37, big play right here in thisgame.
Graham (20:54):
Yeah, and then, of course, we host the Packers on
Sunday Night Football week six.
Scott (21:00):
Oh, what a catch.
It was a.
Graham (21:01):
Oh, there we go.
Do they still not know whoquote unquote number one wide
receivers a flowers is.
Have they thrown it to him?
Scott (21:09):
Yeah, he's gotten, I think one or two catches.
Graham (21:12):
Can he get three more?
I mean and by three I mean four.
Scott (21:16):
Kind of like last night with the Giants and neighbors
Oof.
I just but anyhow, steelers 2-1, going to Ireland Real quick
something I had to bring up.
Houston 0-3.
Lost to the Jags in Duval Dudesomething I have to bring up
(21:40):
because this is just one ofthose mind-boggling stats.
Last year, the entire season,the entire season, the Jaguars
had six interceptions Throughthree games.
This year they have seven.
Graham (22:04):
The Travis Hunter effect .
Scott (22:06):
I don't even know if he has one.
Graham (22:08):
He doesn't.
I don't think.
Scott (22:12):
I mean, how crazy is that ?
I saw that, I heard ityesterday.
I'm like my lord.
And has there ever been abigger fall off than cj stroud?
Dude, yeah, their o-line sucks.
Well, guess what?
If your o-line sucks, youprobably don't want to trade
your perennial all pro left,tackle to washington, tackle to
(22:36):
Washington.
Yeah, yeah, they had someissues, but whatever, I don't
disagree.
Anyhow, shame on me that I fellin love with a stupid Ohio
state quarterback and fantasyand and traded away For him.
Oh God, what an absolute moron.
(22:56):
You know what it calls for aScotty Law.
Slap yourself in the face, ohioState quarterback.
I mean, come on, I'll givemyself three.
I mean, what are you thinking?
Graham (23:09):
To be fair, I mean I probably still would have made
the trade that you did last year.
I mean I wouldn't have done itafter week four, although with
where you are right now, youmight be doing a trade out after
week three.
But like you didn't see thatcoming, no one saw that coming.
No, he's just no.
I mean he's in the drought,trust me especially with his
(23:32):
weapons he has.
Scott (23:33):
Yeah, but I don't know who knows who cares.
I just whatever, I don'tdisagree.
Blow up the team, whatever,don't care.
I'd rather real team win thanfantasy team win.
And, oh boy, your boy's team iswinning.
Dude, before we even get intoit, nause Najee heartbroken for
(23:59):
the guy.
Yeah, we got the dub yesterday.
Najee gone, dude.
You know, like everybody says,chargers are cursed with
injuries.
Najee never misses a game forthe Steelers.
In four seasons, never.
That's why we signed himReliable One-year deal.
(24:19):
Shoots himself in the face witha firework on the 4th of July,
and then Achilles yesterday, ughwhat.
Graham (24:32):
You make it sound like one thing leads to another, but
I mean no, neither one of themhas to do it.
I know he just started.
Scott (24:38):
You know it's game three.
We just started getting himgoing, gave him more carries.
He looked good against theraiders, he had some good runs
yesterday and then that happens,dude, he is a perfect
compliment.
Graham (24:51):
Back to what hampton, does you need someone to run in
between the tackles?
Give you those tough yards.
Scott (24:56):
That's what he's in for and I don't know if you saw it
today.
It was like talking aboutHerbert.
They were like Herbert's agoddang psycho.
The play that Najee slips,falls, ruptures his Achilles.
Herbert jumps over him and justthrows a laser for a first down
for 15 yards, not phased, notanything.
(25:17):
He's like, don't worry aboutthat, bro.
Heal up for a first down for 15yards, not phased, not anything
.
What?
Graham (25:20):
He's like don't worry about that, bro, heal up, I got
you.
Yeah, dude.
Scott (25:24):
So I mean, like I was saying earlier, offensive line
issues.
Now we lose Najee.
It's like we got to dosomething.
You're not getting offensivelinemen from anybody until
somebody goes over.
Oh my God, did they fumble that?
Announcer (25:39):
No, okay, they already called him down.
Scott (25:43):
It's like what are you going to do?
I saw some rumblings.
I talked to you earlier aboutBrees Hall.
He's on the end of his rookiedeal.
The Jets already said they'renot resigning him.
It's a classic Joe Ortiz movedude you trade the Jets a fifth
rounder.
He was the second round draftpick.
If he walks free agency, youget a fourth round comp pick.
(26:05):
So you got this dude for arental and you move up a spot in
the draft.
To think that.
Graham (26:12):
Brees Hall would only be a fifth is ridiculous.
Scott (26:15):
I saw Kamara to the Chargers.
One that really interests me isTyler Algier from the Falcons.
That would make sense.
Announcer (26:25):
I'd be surprised That'd be another one.
Scott (26:27):
Yeah, but you know it is what it is.
Is Lamar going to get sackedagain?
Oh my God, how does he keeprunning?
Oh my oh, he just got.
Wow, are they in field goalrange?
Announcer (26:42):
I have no idea, I don't know either.
Scott (26:46):
All I know is the Lions defense is swarming.
But back to my game.
Real quick, something I sawearlier.
Dude, yesterday, okay yeah,herbert was hit 14 times by the
broncos.
That's the most by a chargersquarterback in 20 years.
(27:06):
Herbert was running for hislife, dude, running for his life
.
And guess what, don't care.
I mean, I thought we were done,I thought we were gonna lose,
but hey, this team feels oh mygod, he missed it.
Did that go in?
I think that made it oh my god,it barely clipped, oh yeah,
(27:32):
baltimore, can we get a freakingstop here?
Graham (27:36):
I know, as a steeler fan , this is difficult to say, but
yeah, speaking of difficult tosay that's.
Scott (27:43):
I don't know if I told you this yesterday.
Uh, you know bucky big ohiostate guy, yeah, uh, when the
chargers finally won the game,uh, he said something to me that
I had to screenshot that I'll.
He goes, boom LFG.
I love Harbaugh and I didn'teven respond, I just had to take
(28:08):
a screenshot of it.
So tonight, put him on blast ina text thread with me and
T-Bone.
It was hilarious, it wasclassic.
But hey, your boys stoked.
Chargers look great.
Defense is swarming, dude.
But you know, it's only threeweeks.
A lot of shit can happen.
(28:30):
A lot of shit can happen, yeah,but hey, first time since 2002,
the Chargers are 3-0.
What Drew Brees was, ourquarterback back then.
The best part of that 3-0 isthey were all division opponents
.
Announcer (28:49):
Yeah.
Scott (28:50):
Which is huge, huge, I mean first team since the 2006
Bears to open a season 3-0, withall three wins against teams in
their division.
Announcer (29:02):
Wow yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's right.
All the games have beendivision games.
Wow yeah.
Scott (29:09):
And the crazy thing to me is dude and your boy himself
stressing about the widereceivers.
Stressing about the widereceivers?
Well, in comes Keenan QuentinJohnson decides he's going to
learn how to catch the ball.
Dude, through three games,there's not a better wide
(29:32):
receiver corpse on one team outthere, dude.
Graham (29:37):
You would have never said that.
No, the crazy thing is Ladd,doesn't even have never said
that.
Scott (29:39):
No, the crazy thing is, lad doesn't even have a tutty.
Announcer (29:43):
Yeah.
Scott (29:44):
Dude Keenan 19 receptions for 190 yards, three tutties.
He's got a touchdown in everygame this year.
Graham (29:52):
I know.
Scott (29:53):
Quentin Johnson 19 receptions for two, 39, three,
tutties.
Graham (29:59):
Did they give Keenan a contract or an incentive-based
contract or something?
You get 10 tutties, you get anextra mil or something Like
what's that?
An extra two million Likewhat's up?
Scott (30:11):
And the thing that I love the most about yesterday, the
tight end we drafted fifth round, sixth roundatson from syracuse
dude.
He had five receptions, yeah,seven targets, and not only the
five receptions, but two ofthose receptions were on the
game-winning drive yeah herbielikes him, herbie trusts him.
(30:35):
Dude, it's, it's week three.
Graham (30:41):
And if I would have told you that the second place team
in your division would be oneand two.
Right now, I mean, you guys arethree and oh, and then it's one
and two, one and two and oh andthree.
Yeah, and the only three teamis the Kansas city chiefs.
Scott (30:55):
No, no, they're one and two.
Graham (30:57):
Oh, one and two, I'm sorry.
Announcer (30:58):
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, my bad, they won lastnight.
Scott (31:00):
Yeah, but hey, I don't know if I sent it to you last
night on Instagram.
Somebody I've talked a lot ofshit about on this podcast, h,
whatever his name is.
Announcer (31:11):
Yeah.
Scott (31:12):
The biggest hater of Justin Herbert.
Graham (31:17):
Did you see his apology post last night?
Scott (31:18):
No, showed you showed it to me today.
Yeah, hey.
And like somebody said, why iseverybody now just recognizing
herbert?
He's been doing this shit sincehe got drafted and you can, you
can do that deep breath all youwant.
Okay.
Most game-winning drives since2020 the leader of the pack,
kermit the Frog, with 19.
(31:39):
I will take a shot right now ifyou can tell me who number two
is.
Graham (31:46):
Well, judging based off what you were saying, it's not
Herbie.
Number two Game-winning drives.
Yeah since 2020.
Since 2020?
I mean, is it Herbert?
Scott (32:02):
No, so no, kirk Cousins at 18 game, winning drive since
2020.
Graham (32:07):
Yeah, Kirk Cousins would not have been the answer.
Scott (32:12):
Herbert's at 17.
He's third.
He's third.
Graham (32:18):
Yeah, but that's also a slightly slated stat in the
sense of Well, a game-winningdrive is not a good stat.
Scott (32:26):
Did your team win?
Graham (32:27):
Yeah, but you only have game-winning drives when your
team is down.
Okay, my point is if you're agood enough team, you're not
having to come back in games.
Scott (32:37):
Would you rather him not have 17 game-winning drives?
Graham (32:42):
You know what I'm trying to say.
Scott (32:45):
Anyhow, I'm stoked.
It's a great start.
We got to do something with theoffensive line.
I mean, like your Steelers, Idon't care who the quarterback
is back there, you ain't gottime, you ain't got no chance.
But I mean, herbert took apounding yesterday.
Dude, I know you were probablywatching Red Zone, but it was
like, oh my God, yeah.
Graham (33:06):
Holy shit, they played him a bunch, but yeah, I mean he
took a pounding.
Scott (33:10):
But I mean something I want to bring up.
You know everybody has beengoing into this season.
Who was the sexy pick thateverybody was talking so much
about?
The Broncos, as they shouldhave right.
Their defense is sick.
They signed Greenlaw.
They had the defensive playerof the year, Patrick Sertan,
(33:31):
back there.
You know Bo Nix in his secondseason.
Dude, go on Bleacher Report andgo on the Broncos fan page
right now.
Graham (33:42):
Get him, wow, get him.
Yes, oh, praise the Lord.
Announcer (33:49):
Sorry, no, you're good.
Graham (33:51):
Finally got a three and out.
Well, not a three and out, butI mean a stop on third down.
Oh praise the Lord, we needthis.
Scott (34:00):
Dude people are blasting Bo Nix, Calling for Stidham to
make a start next week, dude,tons, the Chargers got lucky.
Granted, everything happens fora reason, fact.
But three passes, dude, wideopen receivers Not even close.
That could have been tutties,but anyhow, dude, let's talk
(34:29):
about some injuries, man,because there was a shit ton
this week.
Holy crap, we just talked aboutNajee James Conner, your boy
from Erie.
I guess they didn't even showthe replay of that injury, but I
saw it today and it was notcool.
Graham (34:45):
Yeah, I mean it's.
No, the angle's not perfect,but it's like you see where it
is and which way it went andit's just.
It's tough See, Liam, that typeof injury, Bro, in the same
game, Bosa ACL done.
Scott (35:06):
And Cee-Lam, he's running the ball.
You got a top three widereceiver in the league.
Graham (35:18):
Look, jefferson does it, omar, St Brown does it, I'm on,
st Brown does it.
I mean, it's not.
You know, it's one of thosetrick plays you got to throw it
in every once in a while.
I mean, like I get it.
Look, everything's all gravyuntil something happens.
Yeah man, I just feel bad forConnor because you know, with
Benson there, you know now himgetting the full load.
(35:39):
It's just like Connor what he'sbeen in the league for eight
years now.
Dude, you're telling me anine-year running back in the
league is going to come backafter an ACL or Achilles I'm
sorry, was that Achilles?
No, connor, just straight break.
It's just like.
(36:01):
I just feel bad about thesituation.
I mean, look, with technologynow and advancements, you know
he could come back.
But I mean, if, if the leaguealready under appreciates
running backs as it is, what itwasn't be a vet minimum, prove
it.
Deal just how much.
How much is trey's it going tobe A vet minimum?
Prove-it deal.
Scott (36:22):
How much is Trey Benson going for on waiver wires this
week If he's not already taken?
Graham (36:26):

Scott (36:29):
If he's not taken in your league, can you please invite
Graham and I to be in yourleague next year?
Announcer (36:33):
Yeah exactly.
Graham (36:36):
Dude, there's still a lot of leagues that people
haven't taken, and, at thispoint, rightfully so.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
