NFL Week 2 Breakdown: Packers Rise, Chiefs Fall, and Surprises Everywhere

Send us a text

Recorded September 14th, 2025

The NFL landscape is already shifting dramatically after just two weeks of action. The Packers have emerged as legitimate contenders following their dominant Thursday night victory over Washington, complete with a striking "white cheddar" whiteout at Lambeau Field that had fans buzzing. Their defense has been particularly impressive, allowing just three touchdowns across two games against potent offenses.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs find themselves in unfamiliar territory at 0-2 for the first time in the Mahomes era, prompting speculation about whether they might make a desperate move to reunite with Tyreek Hill. The Cardinals have shocked everyone by starting 2-0, while the Bengals face uncertainty with Joe Burrow potentially sidelined for months with a turf toe injury.

College football delivered its share of drama too, with Tennessee's heartbreaking missed field goal against Georgia and Old Dominion's stunning upset over Virginia Tech that got their coach fired the next day. We break down all the action, including fantasy football implications from one of the strangest kickoff return mistakes you'll ever see.

Looking ahead to Monday Night Football's doubleheader featuring Tampa Bay vs. Houston and the Chargers vs. Raiders, we offer predictions and analysis on what to expect. Plus, we tease next week's special Ryder Cup preview as golf's premier team event approaches.

Whether you're a fantasy manager scrambling after Week 2 injuries, a bettor looking for edges, or just a football fan trying to make sense of this unpredictable season, this episode delivers the insights, laughs, and honest reactions you need to navigate the early NFL season madness.

Uh, I mean, to be honest, howabout is the over-under?
Am I gonna lose my voice thefirst day, the second day, the

(08:34):
third day?

Scott (08:35):
I I mean I don't, I don't , I don't know.
I just, I just hope you sendsome good videos of some New
Yorkers beating the shit out ofsome Europeans, because you know
you're going to see it.
I mean, I don't want to seefights at a golf tournament, but
you know you're going to see it.

Graham (08:52):
No, of course not, of course not.

Scott (08:54):
You know you're going to see it, yeah, but you know we're
not going to dive into thattoday.
No, because next week is thatRyder Cup preview.
All right, week is that RyderCup preview, but dude, thursday
night, you know, packers hostedin Washington.

Graham (09:15):
First thing I got to say is how sick was the whiteout at
Lambeau as.

Scott (09:19):
Bess likes to say, the white cheddar For a team that's
built around tradition and notdoing anything different.
Right, I loved it.
Loved it, and I guess it wasoriginally planned.
I was listening to it on theradio coming home from kellen's
game.
This game was originallyplanned to be in like november
or something like that for thewhite, but the organization was

(09:41):
like wait, what we can't do itin November.
We don't own white jackets.
Please catch that, jefferson.
The overthrowing by six yards.
They don't have jackets, allthey have are green jackets.
I get it.
Packers are like we ain'tspending all this money for
jackets on the sideline for onegame.
Yeah right, yeah no.

Graham (10:01):
But, that being said, I wouldn't object.
I mean, look, I'm not a Packersfan, obviously.
Could I put a petition in?
I think they should stay withthe white helmets.
I think they look sick.
That's just me.

Scott (10:14):
Just me personally.
It'll never happen, but I likeit too.
I like it too.

Graham (10:19):
Dude, it's like when Cincinnati does it when they
have the white helmet Sick Withtheir new stick.
Yeah.

Scott (10:26):
You know, yeah, but anyhow, is it time to go ahead
and acknowledge the Packers arelegit?
I mean, not that we didn'tthink that after week one, but
there were questions.
Are the Lions that shitty,losing both coordinators, which
obviously we saw today with theamount of points they put up?
No, but the one thing we canboth agree on is guess what, hey

(10:50):
Bears, no matter who your headcoach is, no matter who your
quarterback is, you're still theshittiest team in the NFC South
North.
Yeah yeah, yeah, you can do allthis.
I mean and deep breaths andwhatever.
Caleb Williams, ben Johnson,whatever.
Yeah, you can do all this.
I mean and deep breaths, andwhatever.
Caleb Williams, ben Johnson,whatever.
Dude, you got boat raced and ofcourse, you got boat raced when

(11:13):
I'm playing Jeff and he's gotAmon St Brown and scores 37
touchdowns.
We appreciate it, dude.
I mean the Packers.
Add Micah and the way he looksweek two.
I mean he just got there threeweeks ago, bro.
He just got there.
He don't even know people'snames.

Graham (11:34):
Yeah, do they play the Eagles this year?

Scott (11:39):
I don't know they will eventually.

Graham (11:41):
Yeah, you know.
The biggest question marks forthe Packers was what's going on
with the wide receiver group?
Can Love step up as aquarterback and lead his team,
be the commander?
What's going to happen with thedefense?

Scott (11:56):
I see what she did right there, commander, thursday night
they're gelling.

Graham (12:04):
Dude, you got to.
I don't care who you are, youhave to give credit.
Where credits do I mean, unlessyou're just a jackass?
I mean watching the packersplay balanced.
The run game looks good, thedefense looked good, the back
end looked good and they're notplaying slubs and they lost a

(12:25):
wide receiver.

Scott (12:27):
Re, is it read?
Yeah, read, yeah, shoulder, buthe's done yeah and their their
rookie receiver really hasn'teven gotten going yeah, golden
golden.
Yeah, I mean Jacobs.
I mean, how many games in a rowis my guy got a touchdown?
I think 11, now sheesh, I meanyou and I were mean.
How many games in a row has myguy got a touchdown?
I think 11, now, sheesh, I mean, you and I were talking the

(12:48):
night before the game.
I want to put an anytimetouchdown bet on Jacobs.
It was minus 180.

Graham (12:57):
Yeah.

Scott (12:59):
No, I'm good.

Graham (13:00):
Yeah, I'd rather make a 10-leg parlay for a dollar than
bet that.

Scott (13:08):
I mean Same waste of money.
There you go.
I mean, just listen to thisdude.
The Packers opened up againstthe Lions.
We all know what the Lionsoffense is right.
And then game two was againstWashington.
We all know, rookie of the yearlast year, daniels, in their
offense, how they fly aroundRight, they've allowed three

(13:32):
touchdowns in two games againstthose two teams.
Yeah, three, three.
And one of them was a garbagetime touchdown to a tight end
from Detroit when the game wasover.

Graham (13:46):
You're right, I just I mean.
The thing about it is, if youthink about it and this is just
my observation it's week one,you know what I mean?
Well, it's week two now.
Well, no, but I'm just saying Iknew you were going to say that
, with how the lions looked weekone.
And I knew you were going tosay that.

Scott (14:04):
With how the Lions looked week one, and I knew you were
going to say that, and so Ididn't put it on the notes.

Graham (14:09):
Of course not.

Scott (14:10):
I know Graham's going to say it's week two.
Just remember you're going tolaugh your ass off at this.
Don't take a sip when I saythis.
Okay, remember what the Saintsdid last year through two weeks
and all the points they werescoring and everybody was
crowning them.
Yeah, how did that work out?

Graham (14:33):
Everyone always talks about, especially the announcers
, are like oh, it's tough forteams, or especially,
statistically, teams that go 0-2rarely make the playoffs.
Correction, there were threeteams last year that made the
playoffs.
That started.
Oh and do so.
I mean, it's a nice trend thatmaybe the times are changing.

(14:53):
But look, I'm still.
I'm still sticking to.
It's the beginning of theseason.
A lot of the stars didn't playpreseason.
Teams are a little rusty andyou know they're going to start
getting into.
Think of it right now.
Um, it's just, it is what it isgranted.
There are teams that lookbetter than others.
For sure, aka the packerseagles look pretty good, but you

(15:13):
can also tell that the eaglesdon't look the same as they did
last year.
You know their defense doesn'tlook well.
Let me say their back enddoesn't look as dominant.
They don't have Slay anymore.
They don't have another one oftheir linebackers anymore.
They lost one of theirdefensive tackles, but they're

(15:35):
still solid.

Scott (15:36):
They looked good, dude Hurts, I just saw something
we're not even getting in theNFL yet, but dude, the eagles
played a terrible offensive gametoday.

Graham (15:47):
Yeah, terrible, yeah, beat the chiefs the eagles can
win games and their two top widereceivers combined probably
only had what seven catches yeah, I mean, I don't even know.

Scott (16:06):
But before we get into some college football, since
we're talking the Eagles Chiefsthe Chiefs are 0-2 for the first
time in the Mahomes era.
How's that feel?
You know how it feels.
You know how it feels.
You know how it feels.

(16:28):
But, dude, if I'm the Chiefsand I know we're going to get
into this later if I'm theChiefs, I call the goddang Miami
Dolphins right now and go.
What do you want for TyreekHill?
Whatever you want, I got it.
They're the only team in theNFL that has dealt with this guy
.
Knows his bullshit drama.
Yeah.

Graham (16:52):
Is he worth a third?

Scott (16:54):
Right now For them You're 0-2?
.
You got to go to the Giantsnext week and then, I think, the
week after that they play theLions and then the week after
that they play the Ravens.
You better do something on thatgoddamn offense.
I mean so to answer yourquestion.

Graham (17:14):
Yeah, I mean, you can't give up after week two, you
can't, but that being, saidthey're without that schedule?
No, but my point in saying thatis does that make you as the
chief's organization, do youoffer a little more to probably
get tyreek?
Do you say, hey, maybe I needto give you a two?

Scott (17:31):
if you gave them a third, you're gonna have to get the
dolphins to take on some of thatsalary.
You're gonna have to yeah, well, I don't think they can take on
that salary right now anyway,so no they can, they're gonna
have to, they're gonna have toeat some of it, half of it,
whatever Right, and if I'm thechief I'll give them a third if
they eat some salary.

Graham (17:51):
But anyhow, Well, I got to ask you this one question If
they get Tyreek, is that theanswer?

Scott (17:59):
It's what they need.
Were these out, even though hepracticed.
Yeah.
Rasheed Rice is out for anotherfour weeks.
Yeah.

Graham (18:14):
Yeah, no, I agree.

Scott (18:18):
I mean, if my Chargers win tomorrow night, every team
in the AFC West is going to loseweek two.
Yeah, and we got a game at hand.
My Chargers win tomorrow night,every team in the AFC West is
going to lose week two.
Yeah, and we got a game in handbecause we beat them.
Yeah, I mean, dude, I've talkeda lot of shit.
No, they come to us.
Oh what a liar.
Like Pete in the book, he saiddude, I've talked a lot of shit

(18:40):
on.
He goes today, before the Coltsactually beat the Broncos.
He goes, dude, the way theBroncos and the way the Chargers
are playing, it could be theyear it's week two.
Like you just said, a lot offootball.
Everybody was crowning theSaints last year for the
greatest team on earth.
With how many points they werefucking scoring who, and then

(19:02):
how did that work out?
Yeah, exactly, but, dude,points they were fucking scoring
who and then how?
Yeah, how'd that work out?
Yeah, exactly, but, dude, Idon't know.
Uh, let's just jump real quick.
College football, we'll jumpinto the week too.
Uh, dude, the team thateverybody was claiming a
national championship contender,clemson.
They lost their second game,you know, and they lost to georg
.
I mean, they lost, yeah, weekone to LSU, who's solid right

(19:27):
now?
Clemson, notre Dame 0-2.
Lost week one by three pointsto Miami and then week three to
Texas by one.
They've lost two games by fourcombined points.

Graham (19:45):
But they played pretty big programs, you think.
And then week three to Texas byone.

Scott (19:50):
They've lost two games by four combined points, but they
played pretty big programs, youthink.
Well, that's my point, I mean,you think I mean a lot better
programs than Penn State's beenplaying.
I mean they've been playingDivision III junior college
blind teams for the first threeweeks.
Oh, let's play Villanova.
Oh, that sounds like a barnburner.
Who did Michigan play the firstweek?
We actually had a good game.
I forgot who.
We played week one and then weplayed week two at Oklahoma and

(20:15):
then yesterday we finally gotour Division III blind team.
We got to play Central Michiganor whatever, but at least we
played two good opponents.
But we'll see what happens in acouple weeks because y'all, I
think I don't know if y'all goto oregon or you host oregon
your next game.
I don't know where the game is,but it's going to be solid.
Um dude, georgia at tennessee.

(20:40):
Everybody's thinkingtennessee's got it.
Oh, that poor kicker dude.
and I got, and I got a littlesmall spot in my heart I don't
know if I've ever talked aboutthis for Tennessee oh just
because my freshman year atLewisburg Junior College, our

(21:00):
first golf tournament myfreshman year, was in Knoxville
and my golf coach at Lewisburgplayed offensive guard for
Tennessee and so we literallydrove there on Saturday morning
and he got us tickets to theSaturday night game, tennessee

(21:21):
hosting UCLA 8 o'clock kickoff.
It was sick and I was talkingto TP about it last night.
All I remember from Knoxvillewas my God, why don't they have
this kind of women at everyuniversity?

Graham (21:38):
You apparently haven't been to ASU, have you?

Scott (21:41):
Dude, top 10 women in college universities.
Oh, I see tennessee have madetop five, but anyhow, the day
after the game, sunday morning,we had a tour of neiland stadium
.
I got to walk around in thecheckerboard end zones.
It was sick, it was a good time.
Yeah, that's why I always havethis little.
I mean the game I was at, I waslooking it up last night.

(22:04):
It was Peyton Manning's juniorseason at Tennessee.
Yeah, it was sick, dude, but Iwas like, oh my God, are they
finally going to do it?
Are they finally going to do it?
And then that kicker oh, youcould tell before he even got on
the field they're showing hismom and his mom's like shitting

(22:25):
herself.
And oh, dude, it was awful, bro, it was bad.

Graham (22:31):
It was bad.
The football fraternity housewas getting everything ready for
him.
They were putting up thebanners, they were setting off a
special room for him, they gotthe girls ready for him and
they're like bro, all you got todo is make it.
That dude would have been theking of the town.
They haven't beat Georgia ineight years now.

Scott (22:54):
Eight years.
I think it was what they said,yeah, and then he misses that
when the game goes to overtime.
It felt like two seconds laterhe's having to kick again in
overtime same kick I'm like, ohmy god, oh, my god, oh my god.
This poor kid, oh, but he madeit.
And then, we all know, georgiascored a touchdown.
But oh, he's.

(23:17):
But hey, both of those teamsare going to be in the playoffs
yeah 100.
I think tennessee's better thanthey were last year I 100 agree
.

Graham (23:27):
Yeah, I'm now with the playoffs.
Now, now that it's 25 26, howmany teams are we letting in now
?

Scott (23:35):
same thing, same thing.
Yeah, they haven't changed ityet, but you know it was wild.
And then real quick, I gottasay old dominion at virginia
tech.
You know, old dominion's alocal university here in my
hometown, norfolk, where my boyheineke was, where my boy bobby
water coached to bring thefootball program back.

(23:57):
Dude went into virginia tech,buckeye text me before the game.
He's like what do you think?
You think old dominion's gonnawin?
I'm like they going todefinitely cover it.
We're getting five and a halfDude.
Not only did they cover, theyhad that stadium which has
probably possibly the greatestatmosphere pregame to a college

(24:23):
football game in the countrywhen they come out of the tunnel
when they're playing.
Inner sandman in that place wasgoing buzzer, going crazy.
Right stadium was emptied outat halftime.
Emptied out, gone, gone.
Not only that, they beat him sobad, they fired their coach

(24:46):
today.
He gone, he gone.
And once again, penn Statedefensive coordinator should
have never hired him.
The Old Dominion coach coachedwith him at Penn State.
Ricky Ronnie was Penn State'soffensive coordinator, dude.

(25:06):
But the crazy thing is I don'tknow if I even told you about
this earlier it's pretty wild.
This is the end of the home andhome with Virginia Tech,
because Virginia Tech are abunch of whatever and they
canceled the contract, had tobuy out Old Dominion.
They had a contract goingthrough 2030, and they got out

(25:26):
of it.
So last night Virginia Techpaid ODU 400 grand to play in
Blatsburg.
The Monarchs just beat them 45to 26.
Odu now has three all-timeupsets over power conference
opponents all against VirginiaTech.
Sounding good?

(25:54):
All-time upsets over powerconference opponents all against
virginia tech is that any good?
And let's just think about this.
Virginia tech used to be anationally ranked team, every
year a top 10.
Ever since frank beamer left,they've been garbage.
Yeah and dude, it's time likemy dad and I were talking about
last night Frank Beamer.
You know all the athletes thathave come out of the Hampton
roads area where I live.
That's where he, that's wherehe's made his money.
Dude was the Hampton roads areaand recruiting.

(26:16):
He ain't winning this areaanymore.

Graham (26:19):
Yeah, but to be fair with the NIL and transfer, do
you need to?

Scott (26:26):
you got to do something.

Graham (26:27):
No, I mean like, I agree .
I mean it's just, it's adifferent way to play, to coach
the game, coach the game, butit's a different way to
construct a team now, especiallysince there's you know, you
don't have to sit out a yearwhen you transfer, and all that
stuff.
It's just exactly which, Ithink, just I want to say,
dilutes the college game.
But it's just like to know,like, how can you, how can you

(26:49):
be a fan of a team when it'sjust like, oh, hey, this year
I'm going to root for you, you,you and you.
But even though you're notgoing to be in the NFL next year
, you're just going to go tothat school, that school, that
school and that school, and I'mgoing to have eight new players
I need to root for.
I mean, it's good for collegefootball in the sense that
you're not going to have thesame six teams always.

(27:09):
Be good, you're giving otherteams a chance.
Hey, texas A&M.
There you go.

Scott (27:14):
Yeah, but dude, think about this.
This dude, old Dominion'squarterback, colton Joseph.
He's a true sophomore for OldDominion.
Okay, threw for 276 yardstouchdowns he gone.

(27:38):
He ain't gonna be there nextyear.
This dude's a stud and he'sgonna be post because of the nil
he gone.
Wow, it's like I don't know,but what are you wowing?
Are you wowing?
But what are you wowing?
Are you wowing what I said?
Are you wowing about the game?
I haven't even looked at it,except for stupid game.
It's 15 to six.

Graham (27:57):
The game.
Falcons had them fourth andinches on what I think they're
on the 11 yard line and they gotthem to jump off sides.
Mind you, it's fourth andinches and you're running.
Oh, he jumped.
You're not, you're not doing aquarterback sneak, you're not
doing it.

(28:17):
Not, you know, and I form,you're running, you got, you're
running back six yards back.
What, dude?
I mean that first down, knockon wood here.
You know they have no timeoutsleft.
Yeah, because they're trying tostop them.
They're down nine.
They're down two scores withfour minutes left.
They got to do something.
They're trying to hold them tothree here, because if they hold

(28:40):
them to three it's still atwo-possession game.
They score a touchdown, it'sover.

Scott (28:48):
Yeah, anyhow, let's jump in Sunday slate of football.
This morning Dallas Giants game.
Oh, dude, I had Cowboys in aSurvivor League.
I know you did, I know Audreydid, whew, wow.

Graham (29:07):
So leading up to today go, we talk almost every day the
bets we put in the survivors.
We talk about everything outhere.
Wow, not even the guy that'sbeen taking them the whole way
down.
The whole game, bijan, thewhole game.
Look, if there was a few thingsthat we were confident on, and

(29:31):
not just us, we went to the youknow net circus survivor right
and who?
They picked the top three teamsto take cowboys, baltimore and
uh, arizona with how the giantsplayed last week and Arizona
With how the Giants played lastweek.

(29:52):
I'm watching this game and I'mlike what the hell is happening
right now?
You and I both thought I mean Idon't want to say that the
Cowboys are going to run awaywith it, but it's like
DraftKings when you get those nosweat bets.
That's kind of what it feltlike.
All right, just Dak, go outthere, sling the ball around,

(30:13):
don't throw it, don't give it tothe other team.
Run the ball Should be good.
Russell Wilson was just likehey, man, it ain't over for me,
I can still sling the rock.
And Malik Naperson.

Scott (30:32):
And by slinging the rock, thank you.
I mean 450 passing yards, andhey, you know that guy Malik
Neighbors 167 yards, two tuttiesWondell Robinson 142 yards and
a tutty.

Graham (30:49):
And what did I say during the week?

Scott (30:52):
I said we picked up this guy, Pick wandell robinson.

Graham (30:54):
he's injured he's injured yeah, yeah, eight for
142 and a tutty yeah, but alarge chunk of that was on like
a 40 yard td, to be fair.

Scott (31:07):
Okay, so he had 142 receiving yards, so 40 of them
were on one reception.

Graham (31:13):
Okay, I'm just saying what about the other hundo.
I'm just saying yeah, but he'sonly valuable if Russ does that.

Scott (31:25):
He was valuable last year with Danny Dimes.
And what's the other dude'sname?
Tavita Tommy, yeah.

Graham (31:37):
Hey, sometimes you're a believer and sometimes you're
not.
I wasn't, and what happened was.

Scott (31:44):
Hey, whatever, it doesn't matter.
We survived, we got the win.
Brandon, what's the dude's name?
The kicker?
Hey, whatever, it doesn'tmatter we survived.
We got the win.
Brandon, what's his?
Name the kicker, audrey.
Yeah, aubrey, aubrey,60-something field goal to tie.

Graham (31:57):
Yeah, bro, there was like 17 points in the last three
minutes of the game.

Scott (32:08):
And then all I'm thinking in overtime is oh my God,
they're going to fucking tie andI'm still going to get
eliminated because they're goingto tie.
If you tie, you're gone thatovertime period.
Hey, no, you win, no, you win,no, you win, no, you win.

Graham (32:20):
I bro, I was the 60 plus yarder to take him to overtime.
You know, yeah, they're evensaying now it's just like, if
the conditions are good, kickersnowadays like they have so much
leg and practice now that it'slike it's not like 20 years ago

(32:41):
where it was like, oh, you gotto kick a 52 yarder.
I don't know if we should dothis now.
Now there's certain kickers inperfect conditions Did you see
some of the games today withkickers.

Scott (32:54):
Yeah, aka Broncos.
Don't care.
I mean don't care.
Did your boy not call it thoughColts winning?
Like, did I not call it at thebeginning Colts winning?
Did I not call it at thebeginning of the week, did I not
?
You're welcome.
To be fair, I did, I know I did.

Graham (33:21):
Are they technically the winners 100%?

Scott (33:25):
Oh, you're going to call some fucking penalty bullshit.
No, did he break the rules ofthe NFL by touching the center?
100% he did.

Graham (33:38):
There's a difference between touching them and I mean
the true essence of the rule.
Look, I'm not defending theBroncos, I'm just saying the
fact that it came down to thatand the guy missed it horribly.
There's wide right and thenthere's where the bleep are you
aiming.
But yeah, I mean it got suckedout and look, I ain't mad at it

(34:00):
because that I had Colts in aparlay, so I was just like you
know what, Pull it out, andGod's truth, thank you very much
.
So it worked out, Dude.
After two weeks you're tellingme the Colts are 2-0, leading

(34:24):
their division.
Anyone see that coming?

Scott (34:27):
For the first time since 2009.
Damn.
Dude, danny Dimes.
Change of scenery, bro.
We talked about it last week.
Talked about it last week BakerMayfield, sam Darnold.
Change up their scenery.

(34:47):
Give my guy some weapons.
Look what happens.

Graham (34:51):
Speaking of changing scenery, hawkinson, you're going
to change scenery from astarting lineup to the bench
because you are a bum.
Is that his fault?
No, it's obviously thequarterback's fault.
But I'm just saying I don'tknow why.
I'm the idiot that's keepputting him in my starting
lineup Like this dude, sheesh.

(35:18):
Putting him in my startinglineup like this dude, sheesh.
Thanks, oh man, uh, dude.
That game, to be honest, wassome of the most.
The cowboys giants game was oneof the more exciting games of
the day, to be perfectly honestwith you 100 uh mean, as I'm
looking at all the other scoresthat Bengals-Jaguars game turned
into something I mean shouldn'tit.

Scott (35:38):
Yeah, it killed me in a parlay, but because I was
calling that one too, jaguarsbeating the Bengals.

Graham (35:47):
And I was telling you, I'm like I don't know what
you're seeing, bro.
I'm like I'm and here's theworst part- oh, get Jefferson.

Scott (35:56):
Oh, I just threw a pick.

Graham (35:58):
The worst part for me is this what do I always say?
Football team first, now thisyear, 100% Bet.
Second, then fantasy right.
100%, right, right, 100% Bet.
Second, then fantasy right 100%.
Right, right Now.
That being said, as a Steelerfan, I should be rooting against
the Bengals, but when I gotmoney on the line, I'm like

(36:24):
maybe you should come back andget this tutty.

Scott (36:27):
I mean dude.
They scored with 18 secondsleft to win the game.

Graham (36:32):
On a QB sneak at the goal line.

Scott (36:35):
And by QB sneak.
We're not even talking aboutBurrow.
Yeah dude, we're talking aboutBrowning.

Graham (36:42):
And look, I'm kind of optimistic that when Burrow went
down, browning's been therelong enough, he has enough
rapport.
Look, my guy chase still didwhat he needed to do he did he
did praise the lord because Ineeded a dub this week.

(37:04):
So I still feel confident withhim moving forward until Burrow
comes back.
But hey, turf toe is no joke.
Everyone's like oh a turf toe,be a man.

Scott (37:15):
Dude, think about try walking without your big toe.
People don't realize.
Try having balance.

Graham (37:24):
Absolutely.

Scott (37:25):
Without your big toe.

Graham (37:26):
It's impossible.

Scott (37:27):
TP sent me a text.
He goes turf toe.
Really, is it that bad?
I'm like dude, don't youremember back in the chargers
days gates and lt battled it?
Yeah, it's no joke.
And now homeboy pulledligaments in that toe.
Yeah, he's like two to threemonths months or weeks?

Graham (37:48):
Months?
Oh, I thought it was weeks.

Scott (37:51):
Oh shit, no, he's having surgery, bro.
They're saying December return.

Graham (37:58):
Like why come back at that point?
If you're out of it, what's thepoint of him coming back?

Scott (38:03):
It's wild, wild.
But dude the Bengals, gee, Idon't need crickets, dude they.
Finally they're two and oh, youknow they were all like, oh, we
gotta start fast.
We gotta start fast because youknow what they did last year
they scored more points thananybody on offense and didn't
make the playoffs right andstarted off slow.
Now they've started off fast.

(38:24):
Two and oh, and they just losttheir quarterback.

Graham (38:29):
Yeah, and something just thinking about it for fantasy
purposes, chase Brown beingtaken in what?
As early as the second round?
Third For sure, but usually thesecond round.
What's his value moving forward?
You're telling me teams aren'tgoing to stack the box.

Scott (38:49):
You still got to respect what's his nuts.

Graham (38:52):
Oh for sure, Higgins and Chase for sure.

Scott (38:56):
You still got to respect them.
I mean, we all saw who wasthrowing the ball at Justin
Jefferson for the last threeyears.

Graham (39:07):
Touche, touche.

Scott (39:12):
Yeah, you say that, but whatfferson done the last two
weeks.
That's because his offensiveline couldn't block me.
I mean mccarthy got sacked 37times before halftime tonight,
yeah, in fact, I mean I justwant to look and see how many
times he's gotten sacked,because it's a shit ton it's a
lot.
It is definitely a lot twominutes left in the game.
The falcons d has six sacksinsane now.

Graham (39:39):
but in my part wasterdam is like I was surprised that
the falcons I mean I get it,it's the home, but the fact that
they were plus money, I thoughtthey were the better team.

Scott (39:51):
I really did.
They played well last week.

Graham (39:53):
That's what I'm saying.
I'm like they did.
I mean that's why, dude, I tookthem straight up and I took
them with the points.
I just.
I mean I also took them withthe tease that I don't even need
the tease.

Scott (40:09):
I mean they played well last week against Tampa.
Tampa won the division rightLast year.

Graham (40:12):
They should have won the game against Tampa last week.
They didn't Should have, buthey.

Scott (40:18):
But anyhow, moving right along Game, I know you've been
trying not to talk about no, I,your boys you haven't even
mentioned them.
I'm like man, grandma hasn'teven mentioned this yet.
Wow, in the notes.
I'm like we literally wentstraight to the Broncos Colts
skipped over the Steelers' homeopener against Seattle.

(40:39):
Dude, your rookie, running backfrom Iowa, like really, not only
did he make the dumbest playI've ever seen in my life, but
he crashed fantasy footballplatforms across the country
because of the dumbest playyou've ever seen.
I didn't see it live because Igot on the red zone and I get a

(41:04):
text from bucky.
He's like, dude, seahawks justscored a touchdown on special
teams.
It's not giving me credit forit.
I literally go on there andlook and then Dan and everybody
in our San Diego league, they'relike, yeah, it's bullshit,
because the only special teamstouchdown they normally give is
for a kickoff return or a puntreturn.

(41:24):
Yeah, not a kickoff touchdownwhere the ball goes through
homeboy's arms and he decideshe's just going to run to the
sideline because he thinks it'sgoing out of the end of the end
zone.
And I will say this before youeven get into your rant.
Watching it over and over andover.

(41:47):
I'm still not 100% convincedthat Seattle possessed that ball
before he went out of the endzone.
He did.

Announcer (41:57):
He did.
I mean, I don't want to talknegatively on it Anyhow.

Scott (42:10):
Dude.
You know Anyhow Dude, theSeahawks head coach, was one of
the best defensive coordinatorsin the NFL for the Ravens Went
to Seattle.

Graham (42:20):
Seattle has a squad.
Believe me 100%, I'm nottalking shit on the Seahawks at
all.
This was a game.

Scott (42:33):
I know you're not and listen to this.
The NFC West standings aftertwo weeks Niners 2-0, cardinals
2-0, rams 2-0, seattle 1-1.
If you would have told me, dude, you could see that coming

(42:57):
though you could see that comingmatchups.

Graham (42:58):
It's early, you know.

Scott (42:59):
Yeah, it is what it is but anyhow, I'll let you get
into your steelers real quick Ihome opener.

Graham (43:13):
I thought our run game looked better than it did last
week.
But look it.
All coaches say next man up andlook.
I don't even want to say likethat's.
I don't want to start off withexcuses but, here we go.

(43:35):
Hey, we held them against therun pretty well in the first
half and the second half theypretty much ran all over the
place.
I think my biggest surprise is,while I'm watching this game,
be perfectly honest, who was the?
I mean, there was a couple ofguys, but there was one guy in

(43:56):
particular all off seasonespecially as we're talking
fantasy and I'm talking widereceivers and the worst part
about this is because he was onmy team last year.
There was one guy specificallythat I was like there is no way
I'm touching him with a 10 footpole and folks in Jigba JSM, you

(44:21):
don't know where he's going toplay he only went 8 for 103
today, cooper Cup 7 for 90exactly, and the thing was and
three today, cooper Cup, sevenfor 90.
Exactly.
And the thing was the defensewas playing well but there was
just too many times that theyconverted like a third and 15, a

(44:42):
third and nine, a third andseven.
You know, they just broke thedefenses back like we had them
dead to rights and then theymake a play.
I get it, it is what it is.
Look, we're already down JerryPorter Jr.
We were already down Harmon.
We're down a couple otherplayers.
Dude, we lost three guys ondefense during the game.

(45:05):
We're playing guys, aka rookiesand second year guys From the
second quarter on.
Jack Sawyer and Yaya BlackPlayed pretty much the entire
game.
We lost Loudermilk, ourlinebacker.
We lost why his name isblanking me right now Our stud,

(45:32):
second Pass rusher.
We lost him too.
I get it the next man up, buthow many times do I have to tell
you?
You can say next man up as longas you want, but the guys that
are coming in Are not at thesame quality as the guys that
went out.
Like when you lose studs, what?
What do you expect to happen?
I mean, jalen Ramsey lookedgood today.

(45:54):
He had to play corner todaybecause we lost another guy.
It's just like we lost fourguys on defense.
This game, it's just.
And then when you're in a closegame, turnovers can't happen,
right, they just can't happen.

Scott (46:14):
Darnold turned it over twice, had two picks.

Graham (46:17):
The only reason we were in the game was because of that.
If you saw the stats athalftime, I think Rodgers had
like 40 passing yards.
He had two picks too, yeah.
Yeah, and that's another thing,because Rodgers was all upset
about it the pick that he threwin the end zone which, by the

(46:38):
way, is the second pick he'sever thrown in the end zone
since, like I think they said,his rookie year, or his second
third.
It was very early on in hiscareer, that pick, because
Austin was running it out in theend zone.
But then he ran out of room andcame back, just happened to be
in the same vicinity asFriermuth and that's where he

(47:00):
was throwing the ball low andaway and Friermuth was diving to
catch it.
But, you know, homeboy wasright and Colin Ofton was in
front of him.
But Homeboy was right andCollin Offsen was in front of
him, thought it could be goingto him.
So he made a play on the ball,missed it, bobbled it and the
defense got it.
You take away that, even if wedon't get the touchdown, that's
three points Right.

(47:22):
And then they get the ball,they score, and then the next
play is the Caleb Johnsonmistake.
So if the defense is keeping usin the game and we're, you know
, slowly, methodically, takingthe ball down the field, we're
doing all right.
You can't have those mistakes.
And then also revenge game forDK.

(47:46):
I get that, bro.
He's also another wide receiverthat has all the hype, but also
he's been known to have drops.
He had two drops in this gamethat were like, bro, they were
in your hands.
I get it.
It's the NFL, you're expectedto make every catch.

(48:06):
I mean, if it's difficult, Imean we'll give you exceptions.
But like, there's certain timeswhere it's just like, hey, man,
this is the NFL.
Like we paid you, pittsburghdoesn't pay wide receivers.
I mean they did pay AB, butlike it is what it is.

Scott (48:20):
But hey, they paid DK and he got a tutty against his old
team yeah, but did you see theplay though?

Graham (48:26):
no, yeah, his tutty was a basically a two yard touchdown
.
They were on the two yard lineand Deke and Rogers just
basically they moved thereceiver over and he basically
just had a one-on-one jump ball.
Okay, it wasn't like I mean,hey, good for him, exciting I
mean, he's still finished withdecent fantasy numbers, but like

(48:50):
DK, really hasn't shown usanything.
Granted, it's only week two, Iget it.
But, that being said, when thatplay happened and it went
behind Caleb Johnson, you gottaknow the rules.
And look, the announcer said it, which, by the way, I don't

(49:13):
know if I text this to you howthis was the game that was done
on Fox blows my mind.
But listening and I got no beefwith this guy, but listening to
Mark Sanchez for three and ahalf hours, I'm going to say it.
You heard it here first.
I would, a hundred thousandpercent would rather listen to

(49:36):
Collinsworth, joe Buck and in,tori Aikman.
A hundred percent.

Scott (49:41):
Well, of course you'd rather listen to Collinsworth,
because if you're listening toCollinsworth, that means my girl
, melissa Starks, on thesidelines.

Graham (49:54):
You're unbelievable why.

Scott (49:58):
Because I spit facts.
Yeah, that's exactly why yeah.
Oh man, we're going to lose inSan Diego League.
We're going to go 0-2.
Both games.

Graham (50:14):
I mean really yeah, well , that's a good thing, we
started off 2-0.
Well, I mean it doesn't helpwhen, as you were saying, Henry
has the fumble.
He didn't even get in the endzone, right?

Scott (50:31):
No, he had 23 rushing yards.
Sutton had one reception forsix yards.

Graham (50:40):
Yeah, what's going on with that?

Scott (50:42):
I don't know Some dude named Franklin for the Broncos
number 11.

Graham (50:46):
I've heard good things out of him.

Scott (50:49):
He played at Oregon with Bo Nix.
I'd like to know what thatmotherfucker had today, because
that dude and whatever.

Graham (50:58):
Yeah, but like that being well, I'd say, who would
we start over him?
But like that being well, I'dsay who would we start over him?
But when you see WendellRobinson on the bench for 29 and
Stevenson with 21, I just Ifeel you, yeah, I mean, let's
see.

(51:18):
It's like Sutton's the numberone.
Like are we not playing himBroncos?

Scott (51:23):
Franklin eight for 89 and a touchdown.
Sims had two for 24 and atouchdown.

Graham (51:30):
I don't know, Are we completely done?
Oh dude, we got a chance.

Scott (51:37):
Yeah, we still got two quarterbacks and a day-to-day
they need to have games Yep,games Yep.
Games, yep, but anyhow, movingright along, we kind of talked
about the Broncos and the Colts.
We don't even need to talkabout that, something I texted

(51:59):
you earlier as I'm watching theCardinals and the Panthers on
Red Zone.
I'm literally sitting here withChristian and we're just
watching the game.
Kellen's out with his buddies.
He was at the movie and I'mlike you know my mind how it
wanders.
I'm like dude, I need to findthis stat.
This could be the all-time NFLrecord for combined height of

(52:23):
NFL starting quarterbacksbetween Kyler Murray and Young,
like shortest height, by the way.
And I look up their height,dude, they're both 5'10".
Kristen looks at me and shegoes.
I can't believe.
You just said that.
That is hilarious, dude.
Cardinals are 2-0.

(52:44):
Yeah, and Marvin Harrison Jrhad one more reception than I
did today.

Graham (52:56):
Dude, game script is everything I mean speaking of
game script, a game that wedidn't even talk about, with
kind of two of the bottom levelteams, although one of those two
teams was projected to befinished second in the AFC East.
Did you think the Patriots andDolphins was going to be a 33-27

(53:17):
game?

Scott (53:19):
No, not watching that shit, but did you see when the
Dolphins returned the punt for atouchdown?
And after they returned thepunt for a touchdown, the very
next kickoff, gibson returnedthe kickoff for a tutty?
Yeah, it was sick Back-to-backplays, thanks for playing.
And Vrabel is on the sidelinesprinting down the sideline with

(53:42):
Gibson and there's video of it.
It's like damn okay, I see you,boy.
I see you.
Did you see?
On a side note, did you see CamWard's first touchdown pass?
Yeah.
Dude he's going to be legitRunning around, running around,
then throws across his body,across the field, the one thing

(54:02):
that everybody tells you not todo.
And it was a dime.

Graham (54:06):
Yeah, it was sick, but anyhow you know, just quick,
looking at these scores I knowwe already, we already talked
about the game Just look at thescores.
Patriots and chiefs they didjust play the defending champs
and only lost by three.
You know they, yeah.

(54:28):
Chiefs they did just play thedefending champs and only lost
by three.
You know they, the chiefs, yeah, they kept it close.
Obviously, getting tyreek woulddefinitely help, I mean I just
think like they need to gettheir guys back.
They need to be healthy.
I mean, I think, at home,though yeah, that's the yeah,
I'm just that's the thing mypoint saying that was it's not
as of dire straits, even thoughthey are oh and two, but you

(54:52):
know they had.
Look, they had two tough games,started with the chargers and
then played the chiefs, and bythe chiefs I mean the Eagles.

Scott (55:03):
Jalen Hurts only had 101 passing yards.

Graham (55:07):
Yeah, Trust me.

Scott (55:09):
If it wasn't for the tush push, my fantasy score would
have been geez Dude, did you seethe thing I said to you on
Instagram when Chris Jones wastalking shit to Hurts and Hurts
was like you didn't even have100 yards and Hurts was like
suck up't even have 100 yardsand Hurts was like suck up.
We won the game.
Right, that's who?

Graham (55:29):
the Eagles are Speaking of not getting 100 yards.
Did you notice?
In our CBS League, badgerBadger didn't even.
Not only did he not eclipse 100points, he didn't even eclipse
90.

Scott (55:45):
Dude, I don't even want to talk about that league
because I'm about to go 0-4.
Okay, I have 48.9 points atthis moment, right now, wait
what.
I have a lot of people playingtomorrow.

Graham (55:59):
Oh okay, yeah, that's different, that's different.

Scott (56:01):
But still.

Graham (56:02):
Hey, no fire cells.
It's still early, no fire cells.
And if that is the case, mefirst.
I want first dibs, I meanwhat's Badger's name?
Short Bus.
Oh, he's got nobody left too.
No, he's done, done yeah.
But to be fair, justin Fields 3too.

(56:23):
No, he's done, done yeah.
But to be fair, justin Fields3.9.
After what he did last week,brees Hall 5.8.
And he got hurt.

Scott (56:31):
Yeah, and Fields left the game hurt.
I'm playing him in ESPN too.
I'm up 147 to 121, but I stillgot Herbert.
Well, how about this.

Graham (56:41):
We start three wide receivers.
If I would have told you thataj brown, justin jefferson and
drake london would have givenyou a total of 23 points, what
would you have said?
Sorry, yeah, you know what Imean.
Mark andrews 1.4.
At least drake may gave.
At least Drake May gave him26.1.

(57:01):
Dude.

Scott (57:02):
Drake May was out there running today.
Yeah, he was.
I loved it.
Yes, he was, but anyhow, sundaynight game's over.
Falcons won.
We got a doubleheader tomorrownight on Monday Night Football.

Graham (57:20):
Predictions.

Scott (57:21):
Let's go.
Your boy is not very happyabout the Chargers playing at 10
pm Eastern time.
If you could have heard my dadbitching and moaning about it
earlier today, I'm like Dad.
We've been talking about thisfor months.
Why are you so pissed off allof a sudden, like you knew it
was coming.

Graham (57:42):
T-Bone.
It sucks.
You're retired.
I know you wake up at five inthe morning like every old
person that's 80 years old.
I get that.
I'm just saying take a powernap during the day few hours,
and be refreshed, ready to go,just no chance he'll watch.

Scott (58:01):
He'll watch, he'll watch the beginning of the game and
we'll be texting and then it'llbe like radio silence.
Then he'll get up in the middleof the night to go take a leak
and then he'll respond to all mytexts and be like oh shit,
let's go bolts, or you know thisor that so what you're saying
is we I need to be be textinghim, keeping him on his toes.

Graham (58:25):
Nothing's going to keep him awake.
Come on, t-bone, not happening,not happening.

Scott (58:32):
Anyhow we got Tampa Houston.
It starts at 7 o'clock Eastern4 o'clock your time.
Love it.
Yeah, and then our game startsat 10 o'clock.
What do you?

Graham (58:42):
like in those games.

Scott (58:48):
I don't understand why everybody's giving Houston so
much credit after the way theylooked like absolute dog shit
last week.
But you know I don't know.
That's why Vegas makes moneyand I lose it to them, except
for the last two weeks.
Motherfucker, I don't know.
I'm a believer in BakerMayfield.
Tp called me out and said I hada man crush on him because he's

(59:11):
on every one of my fantasyteams.
I like their weapons, I liketheir defense.
I mean, houston does have someweapons, dude, but their
offensive line Can't lock aseries Me or you.
Yeah, I mean they trade one ofthe top five left tackles in the
league to Washington.

(59:31):
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know.
I mean I like Tampa, I likeTampa to win the game.
And then we got my Chargersplaying in Vegas On the road
week two.
We just had a lot of time off.
You know, going to Brazil onlast Friday or whatever it was,

(59:55):
and then going to Vegas, youknow, short trip, half-hour
flight, I don't know.
Dude, bowers is going to play,which is fine.
I don't care about Bowers.
The main thing is, you know,with Pipkins at right tackle,
how do you protect Herbie fromCrosby?
Last year, week one, joe Altmaking his first start at right

(01:00:17):
tackle, he pretty much laid thewood to Crosby, didn't allow
pressure.
Well, now that Alt's at lefttackle, what side do you think
Max Crosby Didn't allow pressure?
Now that Alts had left tackle,what side do you think Max
Crosby's going to line up on?
Probably not Joe Alts' side.
So you got Pipkins at righttackle.
Will Disley, our blocking tightend, he's going to be on that
right side of the line all nightlong helping Pipkins out.

(01:00:43):
I don't know, dude, I thinkwe're going to be able to run
the ball a lot easier againstthe Raiders.
You know the Chiefs defensiveline.
I mean Chris Jones, I mean Hallof Famer duh, it's going to be
easier to run the ball.
And once again, everything I'veread Harbaugh and Roman,

(01:01:03):
allowing Herbie to throw theball on early downs is a
difference maker, dude.
And our wide receiving corpswent from one of the weakest in
the league to one of ourstrengths.
I mean, we got third in Keenan,we got Lede Day.
I just I think we win the game,but I'm being a homer.

(01:01:29):
But yeah, the Raiders beat thePatriots.
Okay, that's great, don't care.
Geno played some ball, though.
Yeah, not going to takeanything away from him.
Yeah, geno stood in the pocket,threw the ball.
It sucks.
Elijah Molden's not playing forus.
It sucks.
Perryman's not playing for us,but whatever, perryman's always
injured, so we can deal withthat.

(01:01:49):
Uh, it comes down to derwin,bro, derwin playing against
bowers.
Is bowers really that healthy?
Is he a decoy?
You said it last night.
I don't know.
Look at quarterbacks.
You know we just came off ahigh right where the league
everybody was bashing Herbert,calling him a social media

(01:02:10):
quarterback.
He had one of his worst gamesever against the Texans.
The guy threw threeinterceptions in the regular
season and then threw four inthe playoff game against the
Texans, and everybody's bashinghim.
My guy looked like he wasdifferent last week and, herbert
, I trust that's all I can say.

(01:02:30):
I mean my guy's hanging outwith a hot supermodel now.
She's not a supermodel, whatartist, whatever she is.
She's a singer right.

Graham (01:02:40):
Yeah, I mean she was a influencer first turn singer,
but regardless whatever,whatever, Wait hold on.
What's her name?
Some beer?
Oh my God, you don't even.

Scott (01:02:50):
Amanda, amanda beer.
Madison beers whatever beersare last name, so that's all I
care about.

Graham (01:02:58):
No beers, not B E R B E R.
S.

Scott (01:03:05):
Like I've drinking more than one beer tonight in this
episode Plural, you're welcome.
Exactly, exactly.
So Chargers win.
I'm going to go out and say30-21.

Graham (01:03:19):
I like it.
I can understand.
I don't want to say yourhesitation, but look, you've
been a Charger fan for a longtime.
I don't want to sound like, ohyou know, I'm just so confident
that this is going to happen.
I just do the way they've beenplaying, the coaching, the

(01:03:39):
players that they have.
I'm not saying that theChargers are going to
confidently like smack theRaiders, but I'm not saying
they're blowing them out.
But I do think they get the dub.
I my point.
I guess what I'm really sayingis.
I don't think it's going to comedown to a fourth quarter.
You know you need a field goalto win the game, like I think
they win by a touchdown, or evenif they could win by three,

(01:04:04):
four, five, six, seven, butthat's with the Raiders scoring
at the end of the game.
That is inconsequential.
You know what I mean.
Like on paper, the chargershave a better team and if the
team shows up they should getthe dub.
I mean that's just theconfident, and if the team shows
up, kind of like how, if tampashows up, like that I would like

(01:04:27):
them to, then my parlays baby,let's go.
Because, um, honestly, bro,what a great week too and I feel
like we can't let this go.
Your boy won a little moneylast night onto boxing in what
was one of the biggest boxingmatches in the last 10 years the

(01:04:47):
Canelo Crawford fight lastnight, and I just want to point
out what I think is your boy, asin me.

Scott (01:04:53):
Yeah, you, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Graham (01:04:57):
What else am I talking about?
What I do think is hilarious?

Scott (01:05:01):
The best part of this.

Graham (01:05:02):
You didn't know.

Scott (01:05:04):
I bet on this dude.
And I had.
No, I don't know boxing, Idon't know UFC.
I'm like I'm betting on thisdude, he's the underdog.
I didn't even know it was onNetflix and it was free.
I'm talking to Graham on thephone.
He's like dude, oh yeah, thefight's on it's on Netflix.
I'm like, oh damn, let's go.
Then.

(01:05:24):
I'm watching the fight withGraham on speakerphone and his
dad's sitting right next to him,yeah, and Graham's like texting
me on the side going hey, youdo realize my dad's right here,
right with what you're saying.
I was good, no, you were good.
I mean I was good.
I mean Papa Cohen, I was tryingto give him some humor, did I

(01:05:48):
not?
I mean?

Graham (01:05:52):
Yeah, I still think the best part.
You're like, wait a minute,crawford's the black guy.
And I was like, yeah, he isJamal Crawford.
Yeah, that's him.
And you're like, oh, I didn'tknow that.
And I'm like, wow, you reallydon't pay attention to boxing
Dude, I don't give two shits,dude.

Scott (01:06:11):
The best thing.
And what did I tell you?
He's from Omaha, nebraska.
He had Omaha on the back of hisshorts and I'm like guaranteed
winner, him and Peyton Manning.
Omaha, omaha.
The end Only thing that suckedis I picked the win under 10 and
a half rounds, so I had thatwas a single bet, and then I had

(01:06:34):
Crawford as a winner plus moneyas an underdog, so I won that
one.
You know whatever, don't careyeah.

Graham (01:06:43):
It made it interesting hey it was a great fight.
I enjoyed it.

Scott (01:06:47):
Speaking of making bets for the fun of it, did you see
the golf bet that I made thatended up winning?
Yeah, I saw it.
Dude.

Graham (01:06:57):
It doesn't make me happy .
Why?
Because I'm in Nevada and Ican't bet on DraftKings and I
can't because I'm in Nevada andI can't bet on DraftKings and I
can't get not no sub bets, but Ican't dude.
They don't.
Let me bet parlays on certainthings, like the fact that I
can't parlay the golf picks, thefact that there's the what do
they call it?

Scott (01:07:16):
The ghost pick, where, if you, lose one of your yeah, a
parlay by one leg.

Graham (01:07:22):
By one leg.
I don't get that.
Do you know how many parlays Ilose by one leg?

Scott (01:07:28):
Yeah, I lost one today thanks to your Steelers.
Appreciate it.

Graham (01:07:33):
You're welcome.
Do you think I was excitedabout it?

Scott (01:07:36):
That's why I told you to cash out on your one, because if
the Chargers lose tomorrownight, all I'm going to hear is
your goddamn Chargers.

Graham (01:07:41):
The problem is they're not giving me a cash out.
I have no choice.
Wonderful, I got no choice.

Scott (01:07:53):
Wonderful.
Anyhow, folks.
Week two we got Monday nightdoubleheader.
Your boy is going to be up latetomorrow night.
Tuesday morning at work is notgoing to be cool.

Graham (01:08:10):
What do you got going on at work on Tuesday?
The look on his face, folks.
He just gives me the deathstare.
I don't even want to get intothat.

Scott (01:08:17):
I don't even want to get into it.
I tried to take Tuesday off andmy assistant is doing his
playing ability test, his PAT.
Oh, okay.
On Tuesday, and so I have to bethere for the ladies clinic at
one o'clock and I'm like reallybro, Really he got you.

(01:08:39):
Yeah, if you could have justpassed this goddamn thing by now
, it would all be good.
But anyhow, graham, sorry yourSteelers lost.
At least you're going to winsome bets.
At least you're going to winsome fantasy games.

Graham (01:08:56):
Knock on wood.
Knock on wood.

Scott (01:08:58):
I won some bets.
All my fantasy teams suck ass,so at least I still have the
hope of the Chargers tomorrownight.
Hey, you got survivor picks.
Survivor's still clicking, hey,hey.
And he's bitter too, because alot of his entries in his league
were the Steelers.

Graham (01:09:17):
No, are you serious?

Scott (01:09:20):
Yeah, I texted him the other night and I'm like what
are your thoughts on Survivor?
He goes 100% Steelers and Ilooked at it.

Graham (01:09:27):
I didn't see how many, but All right, we can talk more
about that off air Wow.

Scott (01:09:33):
Yeah, anyhow, audrey, sorry you had to stress, you
know.
Sorry your Redskins got beatthe other night.
They're going to be okay.
They're going to be okay.
They're going to be all right.
Oh, something I mentionedearlier, somebody that's close
to my heart, austin Eckler.
Yeah, career may be over.

(01:09:54):
Oh, I hate saying it, but Imean Undrafted player from, I
think, northern Colorado thatmade the team with the Chargers
back in the day, signed withWashington last year as a free
agent to the Achilles.
Ugh, I hate seeing it.

Graham (01:10:15):
Speaking of the Commanders, they host the
Raiders next week.
Wow, that could be a game.

Scott (01:10:23):
I'm scared about Scary Terry the Raiders next week.
Well, that could be a game, I'mscared about Scary Terry Dude.

Graham (01:10:28):
He hasn't shown up.
He showed up a week before theseason started.
They'll get it together.
I'm not worried about it.
They're just starting off slow.
It is what it is.
Look, they're not going to bethe one seed, the two seed.
They'll make the playoffs.
They'll get in as a wild cardand they just got to make damage
.
Then I mean it's the NFL Makethe playoffs and then everything

(01:10:52):
resets.
You got to be good at the end.
Look, as you were saying, theSaints, what's the point of
going 2-0?
Yeah, you know what I mean.
So have that positivity withyour fantasy football teams.

Scott (01:11:06):
There's more ball to be played have you seen my fantasy
football team?

Graham (01:11:09):

after the draft.
