What if the future of football relied more on bank accounts than touchdowns? Cam Scadaboo's standout performance in the college playoffs, amid Arizona State's loss to Texas, sparked a conversation on how lucrative NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals are reshaping college athletics. Join Bradley, Chris, and Bags as we scrutinize Texas's playoff journey, with a skeptical eye on their defense, and dissect the idea of Ohio State and Oregon still being the teams to beat. Could Scadaboo's shining moment put NFL scouts on notice? Our lively debate explores this question and more, with a splash of humor and skepticism.

Switching to the NFL landscape, we dive into the Cincinnati Bengals' potential playoff push, Tyreek Hill's rumored Miami exit, and celebrate the Chicago Bears' unexpected victory over the Packers. As playoff speculation heats up, we consider if the Rams have a shot at upsetting the Vikings and whether the Chiefs could clinch a spot in the AFC Championship. High expectations weigh heavily on the Ravens after adding Derrick Henry, and we put on our GM hats to discuss the Browns and future quarterbacks. With a quick detour into college basketball, we ponder on coaching changes and player impacts, all peppered with our signature style of banter and bold predictions.

Chicago weather, I think thisweekend.
So we'll see how that goes.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's funny.
Are you going to teach Witt howto drive?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, I don't think anyone drives down here.
When that happens, I'm prettysure the entire place just shuts
down.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Congratulations on applying to Fox Sports Heard
you're looking to join that team.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
I'm good, I'll pass.
I'm not very good at thepolitics game or the other game
that they seem to be playing.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
So you're like Whitlock.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, yeah, I know myself.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Are you a creamy peanut butter type of guy, or
crunchy?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Not crunchy.
No nuts in my peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
All right.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
All right, so let's get into it.
We had some college footballthis week and some NFL.
We'll start with the kids,because that's what we prefer on
the show.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Cam Scataboo stole the spotlight.
You should certainly not say itlike that.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Oh, all right, the kids stole the show.
No, diddy, is that better?
Sorry, I forgot.
We kids stole the show.
No, did he?
Is that better?
Sorry, I forgot.
We're in 2025 now.
Yeah, sorry the collegeathletes who can now get paid
ridiculous sums of money forsports.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, they're not college athletes anymore,
they're just athletes.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Only good game of the college football playoff so far
was Arizona State and Texas.
Again another game where Texascomes out the gates well, puts
up some points, and then theyjust kind of limp their way to
the finish line.
Cam Scadaboo, chris, you mighthave to fact check me on this.
I don't remember the last timea player of the losing team
received an MVP award.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I don't know that answer either.
I can tell you that it hadn'thappened in the whatever 26
years or 13 years, whatever itwas.
At the Peach Bowl they did saythat.
Yeah, it is a strange processwhere they vote with seven
minutes left in the game.
But nice to know that evenvoters thought Arizona State was

(03:47):
going to win.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, regardless, even if they voted after the
game, I still think he wasdeserving.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
He was easily the best player on the field.
I don't think it was close.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
How much did that game improve his draft stock?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Zero, zero, zero.
Don't think it was close.
How how much did that gameimprove his draft stock?
Um zero, yeah, I mean he didn'tshow anything.
He hasn't shown, I guess,showing it against a quote,
unquote real defense, although Idon't know how you can argue
that texas's defense is top,whatever they say, it is top 10,
top five.
When they played no one butgeorgia, I mean they played zero

(04:29):
offenses throughout the entireyear, except for our boy diego
pavia who, diego pavia.
Yeah, is he staying or is hecalling other teams about a
better NIL deal?
I know We'll talk about him inMarch.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
But Texas I'm sick of like.
I'm just sick of watching thisteam play.
I feel like they're verystagnant.
Watched them all last year.
They're going to get the doorsblown off this weekend, right.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes In Texas, right yes in Texas.
I feel like they've also hadthe easiest road possible more
than Penn State yeah, I mean tothis point.
Plus Texas gets a home game,right game.

(05:26):
This game is 200 miles awayfrom where they eat, sleep and
practice.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Ohio State could have played that, and then they
could have played Georgia andAtlanta.
That whole side of the bracketis just Are we going to get a
good game the rest of the way?

Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, I still think the two best teams in the country
are Ohio State and Oregon, eventhough Oregon got blown out.
They just never got into thatgame, but I still think they're
better than anybody else.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Would it have helped Oregon if they didn't have to
play Ohio State that first game,if they would have gotten, I
don't know, not a tune-up gamebut another game in?
Yeah, I think so, get the padspopping again, but nonetheless,
oh, the last thing on CamScadaboo.
I mean I think it's going toimprove his draft stock because

(06:23):
he played in front of a nationalaudience.
I mean I think it's going toimprove his draft stock because
he played in front of a nationalaudience, I mean outside of the
BYU-Arizona State game.
How many Arizona State footballgames do you watch?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, I mean.
The only reason I woulddisagree not disagree, but
question that is the scouts arewatching those games anyway.
They know who the players areand if they're not bringing up
Cam Scadaboo when someone'sasking about a running back, who
I mean, you're going to takehim in what the third round?
He's going to be one of the topfive in college football right,

(06:56):
so we'll see definitely firstround material if people weren't
already watching them.
Those scouts should be fired.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Moving on, we had Penn State Georgia.
The game got delayed a day dueto the unseen circumstances down
in Louisiana.
Abdul Carter, stillquestionable, but it looks like
he's going to go for Penn State.

(07:31):
Notre Dame Love may go I wouldassume he'd go he's also
questionable, but this game isjust going to be the classic old
Iowa Big Ten football game.
First team to 28 is going towin, right.
Do you feel a snooze fest,especially Notre Dame, coming

(07:54):
off of what a week's restplaying in the Orange Bowl.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, I think we get to see I don't know something.
Notre Dame I guess reallyhasn't seen.
We get to see I don't knowsomething Notre Dame I guess
really hasn't seen, becauseGeorgia's offense was anemic,
despite Gunnar Stockton.
The kid can throw it.
I don't know that he was readyfor that, but he can throw it
this is going to be the bestoffense they faced since Army

(08:21):
right this will be the bestoffense they face all year.
You can argue Indiana, but when?
What's his name?
Rourke is running around on atorn ACL.
I don't know if that counts ACL.
Yeah, since like week three orsomething, and he just played.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah Kind of electric .

Speaker 3 (08:46):
That's pretty awesome .
I'm surprised it hasn't gottenmore attention, but maybe
they're just downplaying Indianabecause Herb Street doesn't
like him Also.
Can we talk about him whenwe're done with this?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Sure, sure, yeah, I really could care less about
this game.
I'm sure I'll tune in Nothingelse on.
But yeah, go ahead.
Let's talk about your favoriteperson in sports.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Have you seen him going around recently saying
that he was not in fact talkingabout Alabama?
When he said Indiana shouldn'tbe in but there should be
another nine-win team is moredeserving.
What other nine-win team couldhe have been talking about

(09:36):
besides Alabama?
The U yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
South Carolina.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
I don't know.
You can't be talking aboutanybody but Alabama.
You've had much worse lossesthan even Alabama.
And then Ole Miss destroyed USC, fake USC, alabama.
I mean I don't know.
They all beat each other, soI'm not sure you could put Ole

(10:08):
Miss below South Carolina, and Idon't think you can put Alabama
below them either.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, it's fine.
Does it really matter?
We've still got probably thebest.
It just sucks that Oregon gotscrewed, like you said.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
That's fine.
Oregon got screwed, like yousaid.
That's fine.
I just don't want to hear KirkHerbstreit try and gaslight us
into saying basically that wesaid he said Alabama, but he
never said that Every part ofwhat he was saying meant Alabama
and even if it meant somebodyelse, they all sucked.
South Carolina lost Illinois.

(10:42):
Congratulations, ole Miss.
You beat Duke with noquarterback and nobody else, in
a game no one cared about.
Are they going to get it rightto everyone?
No, did they do the right thing?
Yes, they gave it to the teamsthat earned it.

(11:05):
Stop saying deserved it.
They earned that by going 11-1and dominating people.
You can't tell me that 9-3.
Anybody earned it by losing tothree teams in their conference
when they only play eightconference games.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, so they went.
What one game above 500 atconference.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, I mean come on.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Anything else with college football.
You want to talk about the RoseBowl or no?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
I was just going to kind of skip over that one.
No, I mean, we talked about itlast time.
You think the majority of thecountry is now cheering for Penn
State.
No, no.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I think the well, sorry, there's like sickos and
freaks like me that want to seeOhio State, Notre Dame and then
Lou Holtz come out for thenational championship game and
then after he asks where RyanDay is right now.
That's what I want to seepersonally.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I think most of the country can't stand the Ohio
State fan base and the NotreDame fan base is probably a
close second to most of them.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing Texas win.
I like Sark.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
The only reason I wouldn't want Texas to win is
because they're now in the SEC.
I don't want to hear SEC winsagain.
But they're not an SEC team.
Come on now, let's just stop.
Also, I think it hurts the SECthat a team that couldn't win
the Big 12 just came to the SECand is the last team left for

(12:52):
the SEC.
Like, is your confidence reallythat good?
I'm pretty sure the SEC ishaving a very down year.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Not in basketball, though.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Okay, well, that's a different story.
But yeah, the playing field hasbeen officially leveled in
football.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yeah, it's good, I like it Makes the games more
entertaining.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
I think it's going to be harder for coaches going
forward other than I don't knowjust it's harder for coaches.
You're never going to have aquarterback room of Mac Jones,
jalen Hurts and Tua again.
That's just not going to happen.
You're going to have a hardtime having the Ohio State wide
receiver room when they hadHarrison Jr, olave Smith and

(13:51):
Jigba Buka was there.
I mean, these rooms are loaded.
I don't think you're going toget that again.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
No, yeah, that's a good point and I feel like
that's why the NFL is, because,you know, I feel like kids
aren't ready because they justbounce around and get money.
They're not like, not workedand developed.
When you come into somewherefor a year it's hard to develop.
You just kind of plug and play,just based off raw talent.

(14:22):
I kind of think that's whywe're seeing a decrease in
specifically quarterback play atthe rookie level this year.
I don't know if that's avariable for it, but I think it
should be talked about.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, I mean these guys are looking to go places to
start, like that kid that wasat Oregon for two weeks and now
transferred to Cal.
What do you mean Oregon?
He signed, he went to Oregon.
He was there for their Rosebowl prep.
What do you mean Oregon?
He signed, he went to Oregon,he was there for their Rose Bowl
prep and then decided that hedidn't feel like he was the
number one priority so he wasleaving and then entered the

(15:03):
transfer portal without evergoing to school.
That's obscene.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
He's at Cal now?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yep, because he wants to start.
I get wanting starting reps.
You don't need those startingreps as a freshman at Cal.
Who are you throwing the ballto?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Wait, this kid was in high school.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
This is the world we live in now.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah, it's a joke.
Hopefully they didn't pay himany money.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I hope not.
I mean I assume there areprotections in place for
collectives or whoever is payingthese kids now, right,
collectives, or?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
whoever is paying these kids now?

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Right.
Who knows this?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
is insane.
Talk about the NFL Regularseason's over Red zone's over.
It's always a sad day whencommercial no, not commercial
free red zone football is donefor the year.
Did the Chiefs purposely losethat game on purpose?

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Purposely lose that game on purpose.
They sad everybody.
I mean, they didn't try, don't,don't, don't, don't, don't, do
this.
I know you're a Bengals fan,I'm not a.
Bengals fan.
You people, you people need tostop.
Everyone's scared of theBengals.

(16:39):
They didn't want the Bengals toget in.
Are you talking about theBengals team that had to go to
overtime to beat the Broncos?
That Bengals team?
The Bengals team that has howmany wins?
Is this who we're talking about?
The team that can't playdefense.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
They're trending in the right direction.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
They're 9-8.
Who was afraid of them?
The Steelers.
That's about it.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I think the Steelers are afraid of everybody, except
for the, except for, maybe, thePatriots.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
They're trending the right direction.
Do you know who they beat intheir last, let's say, five
games?
They're on a five-game winstreak.
Do you know who they beat?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Probably Pittsburgh, denver, denver, cleveland,
denver, denver, cleveland,cleveland.
That's probably in order too.
Yes, it is the Giants.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Nope Hold on.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Who's worse than the Giants?
I was going to say that, no,they didn't play the.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Giants.
All right, you got me.
Where are the last two?
The Titans, who are the worstteam in football, and the
Cowboys they almost lost thatgame.
That's not exactly a who's whoof teams that they beat to end
the year.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
I don't know it's fine Broncos were deserving.
I'm just glad the Dolphinsdidn't get in.
I did not want to watch themAgreed.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
How do you feel about Tyreek now trying to get out of
Miami after just signing anextension?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
I have a cool landing spot for him when Washington.
You can have him go over thetop and Terry can do what he did
at Ohio State and be the routerunner.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
I mean I think it would be fine.
I don't know that that would bethat desirable I get okay.
Yeah, jayden great player, buthe plays too much like college.
He runs around all he's gonnaget killed.
It also worries me that marMariota looked good after Jaden
looked terrible.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, miami's probably the best spot for him,
right.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
If Tua can stay healthy or well.
Or the Chargers.
Yeah, I mean Justin Herbertmight actually be able to, you
know, out, throw him yeah youthink?

Speaker 2 (19:44):
no, he's not well.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I don't know where else would you go.
Where else would you go back toKansas City?

Speaker 2 (19:59):
I don't think Andy Reid wants to put up with him
and all his bullshit.
He had four kids again thisyear, seriously, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
But he's not going to New England seriously, yeah,
but he's not going to NewEngland could go to the Raiders.
They don't have a quarterbackthough what do you mean?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
AOC?

Speaker 3 (20:25):
I think she's busy in Congress.
Sorry, aiden O'Connell.
Oh my bad, yeah.
Or Shador Shador's bad, yeah,or Shador Shador's not going
there.
Where's Shador going?
The Giants, you sure about that?

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, why not?
He had the cleats.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So that's when he thought they were pick number
one.
He's not going to the titans.
No, I'm sure dm won't let thathappen all right, let's.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
let's finish nfl summary and then we'll get into
the draft stuff, because I wantto talk about that NFC.
What a win for the Bears.
Should we unmute bags for this?
Nah, I don't want to hear mehappen.
He gave that big speech andthen they scored.
They broke all the curses.

(21:27):
They won a road game on aSunday.
They scored a first halftouchdown and they beat the
Packers.
They should have beat the on aSunday.
They scored a first-halftouchdown and they beat the
Packers.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
They should have beat the Packers twice.
That one fingertip, onefingertip on that field goal.
The Packers would have been 0-6in the North.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
And then one loss.
The rest of the year right.
Just the Eagles loss, that's it.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
They're going to get smoked the year right.
Just the Eagles lost, that's it.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yep, they're going to get smoked.
The Eagles right Is Jalen Hurtsplaying.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I like their third string, guy McKee.
I mean, Jordan Love has lookedmiserable yeah, but I feel like
the Packers always do this.
They kind of just like walkaround and then the big games
come up and then they turn it onbut well, if they do, there's

(22:28):
only one person to blame,because it'll be Matt LaFleur
outcoaching Nick Sirianni.
No, that's my favorite coach.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
He's terrible.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
My cash out did drop.
For the Eagles future Not happy.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
They're minus four and a half.
Do you think that changes ifthey confirm Jalen Hurts is out
of concussion protocol, maybe bya point?

Speaker 2 (23:06):
But no, I still think the Eagles are the better team.
I think Tanner McKee or TwoGlove Penny can distribute for a
game and win an ugly one.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Just give the ball to Saquon.
It's not that hard Right.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
So, now that the playoff bracket's set, who do
you think is coming out of eachconference?

Speaker 3 (23:40):
You know, I don't know.
Are there going to be anysurprises are?

Speaker 2 (23:52):
there going to be any surprises.
Uh, is the Rams being theVikings a surprise?

Speaker 3 (24:00):
a little bit, not all that much.
I mean you can't play the wayDetroit played the Vikings.
I mean they were playing withfire the entire game and Sam
Darnold's just missing guys.
You can't play cover zero asmuch as they did and survive.
I mean I guess you can becausethey did, but that can't last.

(24:23):
No, you're going to get burntat some point.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
No, I mean there's going to be no surprises.
The Chiefs are an automaticwalk to the AFC championship,
the NFC.
If the Bucs win, maybe they cango on a run, but I can also see
them burning out to theCommanders.
That'll be a fun game.

(24:49):
I think that'll be the mostentertaining game of the weekend
.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I think the Bucs still win that game.
I don't think the Commandersare very good.
If you want to talk aboutpeople, lattimore's healthy.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yes, thank you for reminding me.
That's the only way theCommanders wins.
If he gets Mike Evans kickedout of the game, he does lock
him down.
At times, yeah, but I feel likeEvans only averages four

(25:23):
receptions for 40 yards whenthey play each other.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Do you think this is the best Baker's played his
entire career?

Speaker 2 (25:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
I feel like he's had no help this year, with Evans
getting hurt, godwin being out,kate Otten.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
I mean like every week when someone went down he
just found a new guy Did you seesome of those throws he had off
of the penalties, Like the onethat jayden mcmillan in the
corner.
That was a dart yeah, it wasamazing.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
He makes it work with whoever it is.
I, I don't know that.
I mean, it's certainly not hisbest statistical season, I don't
think, I think, but I feel likehe's made, I mean, a mansion
out of shit.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Right.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I mean he willed that team to the playoffs.
I hate to say this, but theBrowns were right by taking him.
Just didn't fucking keep him.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, that was extremely stupid.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
We'll talk about my Browns in a minute.
I'm going to put my GM hat onand make some decisions.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Which I know you can't wait for.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
I can't wait for your GM hat.
But anyway, who do you think isgoing to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I have the Chiefs and the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
I mean those are probably the two favorites.
Right, I'd probably put moneyon the Eagles right now because
I think they're the longest shotthat actually has a chance to
win.
I think they were I haven'tlooked in the last week, but
they were like plus 700.
Really, it was, I think, a weekago.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
The worst Super Bowl would be Texans-Commanders.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
There's no way the Texans are getting that.
They looked so bad.
Cj Stroud has had a terribleyear.
I don't understand whathappened because he was lights
out last year and I mean I guessguys getting hurt maybe killed
him.
But you know not.

(27:48):
Speak your truth what StefanDiggs ruined him.
Speak your truth what StephonDiggs ruined it.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
I don't think Every team's been better since he's
left.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
This is true.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Speaking of division, it's pathetic that the Colts
haven't won it since 2014.
The Jags have won it twice.
The Colts or the Texans havewon it.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
And the.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Titans have won it twice.
What are they doing?
You want me to put my GM hatfor them on too?
Nah, I'll just do the rounds.
Just do the rounds.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
One team at a time.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Maybe that's what we'll do this offseason.
We'll play every week leadingup to the next NFL season we'll
play GM for a team.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Did you see the new DraftKings promo for this
weekend?

Speaker 3 (28:54):
I did but explain it away.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
No, but by all means you're the gambler.
Go ahead, tell us what it isLongest touchdown?
So you bet on a player prop andif they score the longest
touchdown, you get to split the$2 million cash prize with all
those other people that took itwith you.
Got any ideas Jamison Williams.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
That was the first one.
He's got to be the front runner, right, he's the deep ball guy.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Jalen McMillan.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Well, it's only, is it only this?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
week?
Yeah, Super Wild Card weekend.
I thought it was.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
So then no, jamison Williams.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh, correct, excuse me, it's not for the whole
playoffs, is it?

Speaker 3 (29:52):
I don't think so I thought it was just this week.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Okay, shakir.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Or Coleman, yeah, coleman.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Could Justin Jefferson get another 98-yard
touchdown?

Speaker 3 (30:09):
He could.
Who's going to stop him on theramp?
I don't know.
All right, we got to stop himon the ramp.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't know.
All right, we got to give onefor the listeners, one each.
You can go first.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I'm going to take a long shot.
I'm going to go.
Marvin Mims Wow, that's a goodone.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'm going to go with someone that I can picture.
I'm going to do Scary Terrywith a moon ball.
Marvin Mims and Scary Terry.
I like those two picks.
Speaking of crazy picks thatcan hit Chris, do you want to
tell us?
We'll talk about that, We'lltalk about that.

(31:00):
So, anything else for theplayoffs this upcoming weekend
you want to discuss?

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Did the Ravens make a mistake by playing all their
guys?
No, did anybody get hurt?
Zay Jones got a banged up knee.
Kyle Hamilton hurt his shoulder.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I mean they're playing the Steelers, so they
kind of Whatever.
If they lose to the Steelers,harbaugh should be fired.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
So we're saying they should make it out of round one
this year.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I'd hope so.
I mean, if they have to havethe most pressure on them, right
?
What's the excuse?
Last year you had the homefield advantage, blew it.
So you go out and get DerrickHenry.
Who's the excuse?
Last year you had the homefield advantage, blew it.
So you go out and get DerekHenry, who was probably number
one or number two, back in thein the league this year.
So it's just.

(32:05):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, there's no excuses anymore, it's just been
constant.
Well, lamar doesn't have anyhelp.
Lamar doesn't have any help.
Well, lamar's got help.
He doesn't have the greatestreceivers in the world, but Zay
Jones is pretty good.
Zay Jones, flowers, flowers,zay Flowers.
Sorry, jeez.
I'm going way back.
Zay Flowers is good, andrews,andrews and likely is good,

(32:32):
andrews and Likely are good.
Derrick Henry is a monster.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah.
So out of excuses, you've gotto at least make the Super Bowl
this year.
They don't win a game.
I think Harbaugh should befired.
That's just me.
Bills are playing with freemoney.
This was their rebuild year, sothis is kind of like just go

(33:02):
out and see what you can do.
It's all going to come down tothat AFC Championship and
Arrowhead.
It'll be interesting to see.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Anything else, nope.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Alright, should I put my GM hat on for the Browns now
?
Real quick, yeah, go ahead, putit on.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Alright.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
So, with the second overall pick, if we cannot trade
it to four, I'll be takingAbdul Carter from Penn State to
pair him up with Myles Garrettto create the best pass rush in
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Thoughts.
You don't have anyone who canthrow the football.
Getting it Okay, who?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
are you?

Speaker 3 (33:55):
getting.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Raiola or Arch in two years, oh jeez.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
I don't think Miles Garrett has two more years of
this dog shit.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Well, we're not.
I don't want Shador or Gamward.
We can get Milrow or Becksomeone later and sign Kirk
Cousins.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
All right, speaking of Cam Ward, and we may have
touched on this before, but howuntouchable would Ohio State
have been had they not beenstupid.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Just got Cam Ward.
Why they didn't want him right?
Because he wasn't a goodquote-unquote, good fit, or
whatever.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Or was it the money?
I don't know.
Ryan Day said we're not goingto the portal for a quarterback
and then eventually ended upgoing to the portal for a
quarterback and he just waitedtoo long.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
He would have won the Heisman if he was at Ohio State
.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Yeah, but they would have killed everyone Speaking of
Ohio State, does Jeremiah Smithsit out for two years after
this one?

Speaker 3 (35:12):
No, he'll keep playing.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
He's a monster.
Why should he?

Speaker 3 (35:17):
play.
He probably shouldn't, but youcan't sit there and do nothing.
He's got to do something.
Jamar Chase sat out and didnothing.
Yeah, I got nothing Two years.
I'm sure he'll appeal the rule.

(35:38):
Yeah, that is the largestfreshman Receiver I think I've
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, he's a specimen , he should be in the league.
But Anyway, I'm done, he shouldbe in the league.
Anyway, I'm done talking aboutcollege basketball until after
the NFL.
So we're not going to bringthat up anymore, unless you want
to talk about DePaul losing by50.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
I did not see that.
Who did they lose by 50?

Speaker 2 (36:11):
I think it was Villanova.
It was bad.
Hold up, give me one second.
Yeah, sorry, they lost by 44.
They lost 100 to 56.
That hurts.
They also lost to Seton Hall inovertime, so Seton Hall has to

(36:36):
be a soul.
Seton Hall's last win wasagainst the New Jersey Institute
of Technology.
Good God.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
If Mike Rabel gets the Patriots job and hires
Robert Sala as the defensivecoordinator, do they have a
chance to win that division inthe next two years?

Speaker 2 (37:02):
uh, sure, I mean Buffalo is still going to be the
favorite yeah, but the rest ofthat division is soft no, I know
it, it's terrible.
They have four guaranteed winsAt least.
Yeah, bob Sala and yeah, if Iwas variable, I'd take that job,

(37:27):
unless Sean Conn's gonna throwsome ridiculous amount of money
at your face.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Unless Sean Khan's gonna throw some ridiculous
amount of money at your faceyeah, I think he has the easier
time because he doesn't have tobe as picky.
I don't think, like some ofthese first year guys lately who
are just getting firedimmediately, have to make sure
they pick the right situation.

(37:54):
I think Right.
I think Rabel's earned enoughgoodwill that he'll get more of
a leash.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, and what a move by him sitting out a coaching
cycle and then he gets his pick.
Yeah, here's a question for you.
Does the loser of theRavens-Steelers game, does that
coach, get fired?

Speaker 3 (38:20):
And or no Traded maybe I mean look, how can you
say Tomlin should get fired?

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Because when's the last time he's won a playoff
game?
That's fine.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
When's the last time he's had a team to win one with?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
So who do you blame?
The GM?

Speaker 3 (38:41):
I think so.
Kenny Pickett was a disaster.
George Pickens Not fun.
I don't know what he's evendoing.
Maybe that is a coaching issue,but what is going on in his
head?

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I would just.
It would have been veryentertaining to watch him and
Antonio Brown on the same team.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Oh God that would have been.
I mean, our docs would havebeen multimillion dollar program
.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yeah, I don't understand Pickens.
He's not even that good.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
He gets no separation .
He makes contested catches, buthe has to make them because he
gets no separation, and then hedrops easy balls.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
At least it's not at the clip of Quentin Johnson.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
It was pretty bad.
Last game I don't want to talkabout him anymore, anything else
.
I think that's it.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
All right If you waited around this long.
It's everybody's favorite time.
We have the picks.
We have the picks, chris.
How'd we do last week?

Speaker 3 (40:08):
You and I did pretty good.
We were 2-1.
Each Oof Bags in the butter box.
Not so good 0-3.
We went 4-5 as a team.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Thanks for helping us out Bags.
Well, 77-85 overall.
Not good, right 77-85?
Yep, that is correct.
We don't have a lot of time tomake this up.
We're running out of weeks,well, at least.

(40:43):
Uh, so I'm 28 and 26 overall,bags is 23 and 31 and chris has
taken over second 26, 26-28.
Congratulations.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Oh, thanks.
That has not been a good year,although coming back towards the
end.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Rough middle section there, so I'm just going to go
out on a limb here.
Eh no, we'll let Joey's picks.
I was going to give the reverseof his picks for this week, but
I mean we are still 47.5%, soit's not horrible.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
You're down I don't know 10 units.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Better than we're doing Personally.
So I'm going to give Bags threepicks because it's not allowed
to talk.
He's going to take the Steelersplus 10, the Bucks minus three
and Penn State Moneyline.
You like those?

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I like Penn State, kind of like the Bucks.
Three points is a lot.
I'd probably think Bucs moneyline.
Obviously that's not pickeligible because it doesn't meet
the odds requirement Enforcedby Bucs.
Yeah, I don't know.

(42:08):
Steelers have looked miserable,ravens have looked decent.
There's 10 in us.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
I don't know.
Mike Tomlin as a dog is apretty good record.
That's all I know.
I don't know the exact numbersand I'm not going to make them
one up.
So we'll do the littletraditional back and forth here.
You may go first.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
All right, for my first pick I'm going to the
Packers-Eagles game.
I fully believe Jalen Hurts iscoming back.
He's been out a couple weeks.
He'll be fully recovered.
I'm going to take over 44.5 inthat game.
I think that number's too low.
They passed it last time.
I don't care how cold it is,someone in that game is.
I think that number's too low.
They passed it last time.
I don't care how cold it is,someone in that game is scoring.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
I like that.
I like that.
I will be adding that one to myslip at some point this weekend
For my first pick.
I'm going to Hawaii.
The Sony opens there this week.
I'm going to take KeeganBradley, the United States
captain, to finish top 20.
That is a plus money play.
So Keegan Bradley, top 20,finish, including ties, at the

(43:19):
Sony Open.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
All right For my second pick, I'm going to the
Chargers-Texans game and, asmuch as I dislike doing this,
this because betting these arezero fun.
You can always score morepoints, you can't take any off
the board.
However, I'm going under 42.5.
The Chargers don't scoretouchdowns and the Texans'
offense has looked miserable.

(43:44):
Under 42.5.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Well, staying in that same game.
Hopefully they win by at leasta field goal.
I'm going to be taking theChargers on the road minus two
and a half.
I understand the Texans playedtheir starters last week against
the Titans for a little pat onthe back, feel-good game.
But until the Texans beatsomebody over 500, why should I
ever pick them?

Speaker 3 (44:13):
I don't know.
You should not, you should notpick them at all.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
It's funny they always play the Saturday day
game in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Nobody wants to watch them.
You're my third pick on goingto the children.
Oh, please, please, I'm goingto them.
They're please, please, I'mgoing to them.
They're not my favorite theTexas-Ohio State game.
I'm going over 53.5.
Ohio State may get 53.5 ontheir own.

(44:45):
Ohio State-Texas over 53.5.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Man, are we just in lockstep?
This week I'm also playing withthe children in the same game,
with you in the sandbox.
I'm going to be taking OhioState minus 5.5.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Because bags wouldn't let me take it last week, so
here it is this week.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
You made a glorious exact score prediction last week
on the Ravens 35-10 over theBrowns.
Do you want to try again forthe Ohio State-Texas game?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
42-24.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Alright, lock it in.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
I'm not betting that one I can't believe.
I didn't bet that last week,you should.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
We sounded very confident when you gave the
number.
That's why I wrote it down.
Did you take it?
No, I didn't even realize itwas on the card until I looked
at them this week when I wasdoing the stats that's so funny
had to go back and check it andthen I was like, uh, what the
hell?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Got any stats to wrap us up tonight?

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Uh, I mean regular season's done.
I think the best winning betagainst the spread anyway.
All year we would carpet on itaway favorites.
We're winning at a 50 a littleover 56 percent clip.
So if you're betting those allyear you had a profitable year.
Also, if you bet against theTitans spread I think they were
2-15 or something against thespread this year- that is
correct.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
They were favored last weekend.
See it here and there.
Alright, if you made it thislong.
Thank you, appreciate you.

(47:27):
made me laugh.
It was a wonderful time.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Yeah, those two had a good thing in Tennessee Any
well, everyone the rest.
It was a wonderful time.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
Yeah, those two had a good thing in Tennessee Anyhow
