Is the college football season dragging on too long, or could we make every regular season game matter more? Join us on the Sharp Action Daily Podcast as we challenge the status quo, proposing radical changes like moving the Army-Navy game and shaking up the conference championships. With Chris, Bags, and yours truly at the helm, we hilariously ponder whether divine intervention has a say in championship victories and poke fun at the ever-passionate fan bases of Notre Dame and Ohio State. Plus, we're dreaming big with a potential live show in the glittering landscape of Las Vegas for the 2027 championship—because why not?
Quarterback rookies Caleb Williams and C.J. Stroud are under our microscope, as we dissect their inaugural seasons with humor and a critical eye. The media frenzy around these young talents takes a hit, especially when considering Jaden Daniels and the sack-prone Stroud. We're optimistic about coaching changes, like the appointment of Ben Johnson, giving us plenty to banter about—along with the delayed antics of a cleaning lady adding a touch of the absurd. With a mix of skepticism and hope, we compare college-style offenses to the professional stage, all while keeping the conversation light-hearted and engaging.
And for those with a penchant for the thrill of betting, we've got NFL divisional matchups and predictions galore. Tune in as we debate the odds for the Eagles against the Commanders, sprinkle in personal anecdotes, and exchange playful jabs. Our betting strategy discussions are as bold as they are entertaining, with a spotlight on players like Travis Kelsey and Khalil Shakir. We wrap things up with risky bets, honorable mentions, and our track record of surprising game outcomes—perfect for those gearing up for another exhilarating weekend of sports action.

Welcome back to the sharpaction daily podcast.
(00:58):
What's going on everybody?
Welcome back to the SharpAction Daily Podcast.
I'm your host, bradley Brunig,and I'm joined tonight by the
two usual personalities of theshow, chris and Bags.
Chris, how are we doing tonight?
I'm alive.
Good, I'm on a you knowrecovery from Vegas trip, but
(01:21):
I'm alive.
Yeah, we'll get into that alittle later.
I'm going to lead off tonight'sshow with a little something.
We had a college footballnational champion crowned in the
middle of divisional footballplay and some extracurriculars
going on on Monday.
(01:41):
Did the college football seasondrag out too far?
That's a dumb question.
The answer is yes.
Would you like to hear mysolution to fix it?
Does it go down to eight gamesor not?
Have six weeks in betweenfreaking playoff games?
(02:02):
No, the 10 days is fine.
In between freaking playoffgames no, the 10 days is fine.
What I would do is I would movethe Army-Navy game as the
inaugural kickoff game to everyseason.
So you're agreeing with PaulFeinbaum.
Mr Kline is who I saw that from.
I don't know who you'respeaking of, but yeah, we move
that to the first game of theyear and we get rid of
(02:24):
conference championship week.
If you win, if you're theregular season winner of the Big
Ten, cool, you get whateverseed.
How are you going to determinethat?
I would be all for this.
In a normal scenario whereconferences are 18 teams, this
would be perfect.
However, in the current format,18 teams aren't even going to
(02:50):
crown a conference champion.
Half these teams don't playeach other.
Let's make every regular seasongame important, then, and make
it conflicting opponents, andthen if they each played one
team in their schedule, both ofthem won.
Let's say, both teams are 14-0,.
Right, ohio State, oregon both14-0.
(03:11):
They all played 13 differentgames, except for one game.
They both played Wisconsin.
Oregon beat Wisconsin 40-3.
Ohio State beat them 21-17.
Oregon's your big time champion.
What if Oregon was at home andOhio State was on the road?
(03:32):
I don't know.
I think we're going to have tostart treating these power
conferences more like NFLdivisions, where you have a
champion and then they get thebid to the playoff.
How about we go back to eastand west nine teams in each one
crossover game, you playeveryone on your side and you
(03:54):
are the big 10 west champ andthe big 10 east champ, and be
done with it.
So okay, so you get two Big Tenteams, two SEC, two ACC, two by
now, two Pac-12.
They're Mountain West.
The commentary line that ruinedeverything, not everything.
(04:17):
You got to give it time tomarinate.
Changes need to be made forsure.
If they go into the next season, they go.
We're going to do the sameexact thing All over again.
Some other stupid scenario willhappen, right, it's most likely
.
Well, they already announced2026, it's in Vegas On January
(04:38):
25th.
So I thought it was 27.
I thought it was 26 at firstand I went back and looked and
it said 27.
Oh, yeah, so it would be the26th season national
championship in January of 27.
I was worried at first.
(04:58):
I'm going to be in Vegas.
This is going to be a disaster.
Oh, we're definitely doing alive show from there.
Oh, you don't oppose.
Alright, we move on.
Chris, do you find it acoincidence that the two most
(05:18):
outspoken faithful teams were inthe National Championship?
We said those were the two mostoutspoken faithful teams.
That's not true, joe.
You got another team Clemson.
Huh, clemson, clemson werebaptizing people on campus.
Didn't hear about that.
Asu Huh, did you say?
(05:39):
Asu?
Yeah, they're the mostheathenist school in the country
.
Maybe their mascot is literallySatan?
No, probably Boise Clemson.
Yeah, I would put those upthere with your Notre Dames.
(06:01):
Alabama Baptist, southernMethodist.
What are we doing here?
Alright, you're getting awayfrom my point.
Alabama Baptist, southernMethodist.
What are we doing here?
All right, you're getting awayfrom my point.
Anyway, are you saying thatJesus put these teams into the
championship?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I'm pretty sure the collegefootball playoff committee put
these two teams in thechampionship.
Let's be honest, I don't knowIf I didn't have a futures bet
(06:24):
on Ohio State.
This was my worst nightmarenational championship matchup,
because I physically hate bothof these teams and their fan
bases to the core.
They have the two worst fanbases in the country In the
country, in college football, incollege sports in general.
Look at the people that youknow that root for Notre Dame.
(06:46):
Look at the people that youknow that root for Notre Dame.
Look at the people that youknow that root for Ohio State.
Besides your brother and you, Idon't root for Ohio State.
Yes, you do.
30 pieces of apparel will saydifferently From all from 2005.
Debatable, moving forward,they're by far the most annoying
(07:11):
, most obnoxious fan bases incollege.
And I put that over Texas,which is astonishing, but at
least Texas knows when they suck.
Yeah.
Also, can we talk about havingKirk Herbstreit call an Ohio
State national championship game?
This feels like a problem to me.
Before or after he startedcrying yeah, both, I don't know.
(07:39):
He's biased to his core,literally is crying when they
win a championship and iscalling the game.
How can you expect him to callthat game Unbiased?
Unbiasedly, you can put on theMcAfee broadcast, which is just
terrible to watch.
(07:59):
No offense, you get a kid onthe team.
Yeah, love Pat, go watch it inthe suite that you can very much
afford.
What with your best friend,lebron James?
Yeah, what is LeBron doingthere?
I don't know.
(08:21):
We can go on and on about it.
We can point can fan bases, butit's Ohio State and their group
of idiots on Twitter who liketo talk trash about everybody
else spending money and stealingtheir players, except they
spent the most money by far andpaid everybody.
So it's full of hypocrites oruneducated people.
(08:45):
Apparently, oregon has a moreexpensive roster.
No, they didn't.
That was proven false multipletimes.
Oregon only paid $11 millionfor this year's roster.
Breaking news Cowboys hiredBrian Schottenheimer man.
(09:07):
So here's the thing I don'tunderstand about Notre Dame.
We can move on from ohio statenotre dame used to be.
I would you agree that theirfan base almost acts like they
walk on water, like they arejesus christ themselves?
This used to be a school forpoor irish catholic kids.
I promise you you're not thatgood.
You didn't stand a chance inthis game.
Good, you didn't stand a chancein this game.
You knew you didn't stand achance in this game.
(09:31):
Yep, they have an easy path tothe playoff every single year.
Every year, they get to make uptheir schedule.
Play one top 25 team lose tosome shit school.
You can't have a worse lossthan NIU.
You can't.
Alabama has entered the no.
(09:52):
No, niu is far worse thanOklahoma.
They didn't recover Oklahoma.
But, yeah, marcus Freeman'sbetter than Brian Kelly.
Shut up, he's doing what BrianKelly couldn't in a 12-team
playoff shirt Congratulations.
You wouldn't have been in a 14.
You wouldn't have been in a2-team.
You might not have been in an18.
(10:13):
Shut up, you wouldn't have.
You were not in an 18.
You're not.
I understand you're the 7 seed,but you're not in an 8 seed.
You're in a 7 because you cansneak in at a 12, and you play
nobody.
What percentage of the NotreDame fan base attended the
(10:33):
school?
Eight Six.
What percentage of the OhioState fan base attended the
school?
Well, it depends if one oftheir.
It's the same number.
It depends if one of theirinbred.
Well, ron's the biggest fan.
He didn't even fucking go tocollege.
Chris liked that one.
That's all they did is showLeBron 30 times looking for
Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game.
(10:53):
He never even fucking wentthere.
Well, yeah, he didn't go to anycollege at all.
When you sell your soul to theAlphabet Mafia, they'll show you
on TV.
His son literally went toanother Big Ten school the
Make-A-Swish kid or the otherson, no, the Make-A-Wish kid,
(11:14):
chris.
You had a lot of reactionary tosome of those comments.
Care to elaborate, I don't know.
A couple of them got me theinbred one.
It's why I place the futureabout Ohio State to make that
(11:35):
national championship.
Yeah, we had a good time.
Shout out to what was?
That place called CarolinaAlehouse, carolina Alehouse and
Marriott.
That place called CarolinaAlehouse, carolina Alehouse, in
Marriott.
Yeah, I like the CarolinaAlehouse.
Yeah, it's pretty good,delicious, some fantastic
barbecue wings.
No free sponsorships though.
All right, can I get into mybags Banter?
(12:00):
I have a fun little this is alittle bit of a comparison game
that I would like to play withyou guys.
Sure, without further ado,we'll give Bags Banter a
spotlight, even though he talkedout of turn about a half hour
ago.
Thank you very much.
So I'm going to give you guystwo rookie quarterback seasons.
Okay, I want you to tell mewhich one you would prefer, or
(12:24):
if you think they're similar inany way or shape or form.
Player number one 3,960 totalyards of offense.
Can I make a disclaimer beforeyou continue?
Sure that you know which one'sBo Nix and which one's Jaden
Daniels?
No, he's going to do CalebWilliams and Jaden Daniels.
Can you just put the records asthe last stat please?
(12:46):
We cannot, it doesn't have iton the stat sheet here.
Oh, okay, so two rookiequarterbacks 3,960 total yards
for player one, 63.2 completionpercentage, 20 touchdowns, 12
interceptions, 87 passer rating.
(13:06):
Yeah, that's Shane Daniels.
Tier number two 4,030 totalyards, 62.5 completion
percentage, 20 touchdowns, 6interceptions, 87.8 passer
rating.
I don't know.
Are there six picks In which?
Do you think these statisticsare at all similar?
(13:27):
Yes, okay.
Do you think both of thesequarterbacks should have
comparable rookie seasons?
Well, if those two are JadenDaniels and Caleb Williams, you
can throw Bo Nix in there,because he has basically the
same stats.
It is not Jaden Daniels.
One of the players is CalebWilliams.
(13:48):
He is player two.
I would like to see if you canguess player one no, it is not
Bo Nix, it's probably not fromthis year.
Cj Stroud CJ Stroud's rookieseason, correct.
Cj Stroud in no.
Cj Stroud's rookie season,correct.
Cj Stroud in the media wastreated as a god for the entire
(14:10):
fucking offseason and thisentire season he had the same,
if not lower and worse, statsthan Caleb Williams.
They won a playoff game.
Also, not getting sacked 68times Well, getting sacked 68
times is part of the problem,and not avoiding 50 total sacks
(14:31):
yeah, not that all of them.
All the sacks were his fault,because they weren't.
Obviously, he actually had thelowest percentages in the NFL of
sacks that were his fault andhe still got sacked 68 times.
That's a lot of times, dude.
That's a lot.
And obviously, yes, we haveinterior issues.
By the way, I haven't got mycongratulations from you, chris.
(14:52):
I will wait for that wheneverit comes in the mail.
But now we have Ben Johnson andsoon to be the Lions offensive
line coach.
I'm looking forward to a change.
Looking forward to a change.
However, can see where thisbites us in the ass.
There is a little bit ofrealism there.
Ben Johnson has never been ahead coach.
He is the second youngest NFLcoach in the NFL and we still
(15:18):
don't have an offensivecoordinator yet and you still
have one of the worst old linesin football as of right now, and
tevin jenkin looks like he'sgonna walk and five total
minimum, five brand new goodalignment that you can coach and
that's it.
(15:38):
No more hands.
Well, he was throwing passes inplayoff games.
I'm sorry he has wide receiversthrowing passes Down.
Touchdown in a playoff game.
Thought on that.
Mix it up, sounds great.
Browns had Joe Flacco throwingpasses in a playoff game.
(15:59):
How'd that work out?
Not well.
So yeah, let's mix it up alittle bit.
Man, the cleaning lady hitsroom 17, and Joe's ready to roll
.
The cleaning lady did finallycome.
In case you were curious, bradkept scrolling away saying
manana, manana, manana, and shedidn't come for a whole other
(16:19):
week.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Yeah, I thought she wouldn'tcome back at all.
Brad must have scared her.
I for a second.
I thought he was doingsomething.
He shouldn't be in the room andshe walked in on it.
But I guess we're good.
That's not what I was, uh,thinking.
But you know, maybe ice willcome back another week.
Maybe it has something to dowith brooklyn and bond's only
(16:40):
fan page being open.
On brad's last pod on thepodcast last time.
Well, I'm glad Chris islistening to my jokes, but that
one went.
I heard you joke, brad.
That's extremely racist andit's not funny at all.
You can't be saying stuff likethat, not okay.
Just trying to make the world abetter place.
(17:01):
America first.
Well, there's a different.
Those are conflictingstatements.
Where did your people come from?
What do you mean, my people,your people, what do you mean,
you people?
Look, all I'm trying to say isthat, finally, the Bears.
(17:22):
The media destroys everythingand the media everything and
media people that shouldn't.
And this is not the greatestrookie quarterback season ever,
and not even close.
I don't know if you guys watchthis lions game.
Me and brad did.
We were sitting next to eachother and I had to hear about
this bomb that jayden danielsthrew for 59 yards of terry m
McLaurin.
(17:42):
It was a fucking bubble screen.
He threw it behind the line ofscrimmage.
What bomb, what 59-yard pass.
It was a two-yard pass.
Terry McLaurin did all thefucking work.
I don't get it.
I don't understand it.
This is not the greatest rookiequarterback of all time.
I don't know how they might goto the Super Bowl, but that's
(18:03):
ridiculous Running.
I don't know how they might goto the Super Bowl, but that's
ridiculous, right on a collegeoffense.
Also, he had to get pulled fromthe Dallas game and Mariota
saved his ass and looked like aworld beater in that offense.
So I don't know, maybe Danielsis just, eh, if Marcus Mariota
can look like a superstar inthat offense, then I cannot wait
until Cliff Kings affair gets ahead coaching job and this guy
(18:26):
looks like a fucking idiot.
I can't wait.
I'm preying on this dude'sdownfall more than anybody
else's.
I promise you.
I promise you, I'm the biggestjane daniels hater on this
planet.
Talk about racist.
I can't stand.
That was racist.
I don't think that has anythingfor caleb williams.
They are the same color.
I'm pretty sure they're likethe exact same color.
(18:47):
Moving forward, I will make thisclaim and I will make it
strongly I will pop a bottle ofchampagne when this dude goes
4-12 next year.
4-13, excuse me, there will bethis year.
I don't know how I don't get it.
So, whatever, whatever demontook his soul from him and said
(19:08):
yeah, you can win as many gamesas you want by one score on
bullshit plays.
Sure, good for him.
I cannot wait, I can't wait, Ican't wait, I can't wait, I
can't wait, I can't wait.
Champagne will be everywhere,everywhere, multiple bottles,
and I'm going to post it on theInstagram and I'm going to laugh
.
And I'm going to post this clipbefore it, and I'm going to
(19:29):
laugh Because they're going togo 4-13 next year when Cliff
Kingsbury moves on.
Where is he going?
I don't know, but he's going toget a head coaching job
somewhere.
There's only one job left whenNew Orleans.
Yeah, I can see that.
(19:49):
Who'd Vegas hire Pete Carroll?
Pete Carroll, jaguars hiredLiam Cohn.
The whatever Chiefs, broncos,chargers, raiders division has
some of the best historiccoaches.
There is Harbaugh, you got AndyReid, you got Sean Payton and
(20:15):
now Pete Carroll.
How many Super Bowls are therein that division?
I don't know.
That's a fun division, bestdivision of football.
How many of those teamshistorically, or how many of
those coaches historically, hadsome of the best quarterback
play in history?
Yeah, well, you know what PeteCarroll made Russell Wilson what
he is.
(20:35):
Let's be honest.
That's why I wouldn't haveminded having him on the Bears.
I wouldn't have hated it.
It's Bears, I wouldn't havehated it.
It's alright.
You got the guy already callingout division opponents before
he ever called a play.
It's okay.
Why shouldn't he?
(20:55):
What happened to the Northanyway?
They freaking crapped the bedin the playoffs.
You were the guy that said theyneed a team leader of men.
Freaking crap the bed in theplayoffs Football.
You were the guy that said theyneed a team leader of men.
You want a guy that's gettingfired up to go sit down now?
I don't understand.
Pick a side, maybe.
Maybe you should hire someone.
(21:17):
Is the Lions Super Bowl windowclosed?
No, might be.
Who the fuck's their offensivecoordinator and defensive
coordinator next year?
Who's going to be in the thirdOutside of the Eagles?
Who else is going to be goodnext year, because the Redskins
are going 4-13.
(21:37):
Minnesota again.
Maybe I don't know.
Minnesota has to move on fromthe Sun-Darnels.
Maybe I don't know.
Minnesota has to move on fromDonald.
Right, I mean, they don't haveto, but they should.
I don't even know if theyshould.
They should Really Depends whatJJ McCarthy actually looks like
.
Do you think JJ McCarthy hasthat?
Does he look that good?
(21:57):
Doesn't matter.
Kevin O'Connell's a great coach.
He is Fantastic coach.
Just got re-signed.
Congratulations, but it's stillJJ McCarthy.
Who's their running back?
Aaron Jones again next year.
Is he coming back, I'm going toassume.
(22:18):
So they need a younger kid togo with them Probably.
Maybe they get Scataboo.
You look like Scataboo, youknow.
Speaking of Scataboo, he had avery much lightning in a bottle
type of season this year.
You know who these Vikingsremind me of, the 05 White Sox.
Just a dogshit team thatsomehow puts together a great
(22:40):
season.
Now, granted, the White Sox won.
Just a dog shit team thatsomehow puts together a great
season.
Now, granted, the White Sox wona World Series.
The Vikings are going to look,and this goes, this works.
We went 14-3 this year.
We can do this again.
We just got to figure out howto win in the playoffs.
They're going to do this sameshit year in year out, year in
year out.
They've been doing it for thelast 10 years.
When was the last time they wonthe first round of a playoff
game the Minnesota MinneapolisMiracle?
(23:01):
Because some dude couldn't makea tackle.
Some dude didn't even go forthe tackle.
I don't know what idiot waslooking at Right, it was a
lockbox tackle.
You lose that game.
All I'm saying is this Minnesotateam is going to curse
themselves by continuing to dothe same thing over and over
again Going it works, it works,it works, it works, but it
(23:22):
doesn't.
You can make the playoffs allyou want If you can't win a
fucking game.
It doesn't work.
You've got to find a new way toattack, and having JJ McCarthy
as your quarterback this year isnot going to help you
whatsoever.
It's not.
There's no way it can.
Can you provide an alternative?
You think when the lights getbright on JJ McCarthy, he's
going to shine?
Yeah, he won a nationalchampionship by having a good
(23:46):
roster around him and playmakersand being a game manager,
because Blake Corwin ran for 10times Whoa, whoa, one at a time.
I said it's because BlakeCorwin ran for 240 yards.
Cool, with that money you'llsave on JJ McCarthy, you can
sign a good running back.
Next question what running backis in free agency that's
(24:08):
signable this year?
Aaron Jones, you can bring himback.
Not a great running back.
You can go get DeAndre Swift.
Not available, he's available.
I don't know, but you liveunder a rock.
Well, hang on.
If you think DeAndre Swift isthat good, then why would the
Bears let him go?
Because the Bears are gettingJenty.
(24:29):
I would like him to keep both.
We're getting Will Campbell,but if Will Campbell is
available, I wouldn't be tooupset with Jenty.
Okay, chris, what would youhave to say over there?
The Vikings have $57 million incap space next year, so they
can probably go get somebody.
(24:49):
I think it would be better forthem not to re-sign Sam Darnold,
but I don't know what you'regoing to get out of JJ.
To be honest, you want to hearmy wild take.
You need some defensive players, jj.
What's the starting quarterbackfor them next year?
Who is Daniel Jones?
Do you think that's a goodthing?
(25:12):
They want a mobile quarterbackthat can run.
I think they're going to rockwith Daniel Jones.
Why do they want a mobilequarterback that can run it?
What point was that everlooking to be incorporated into
the offense they ran this year?
Well, sam Darnold can't run andKevin O'Connell would like a
more mobile quarterback.
And you know this.
(25:33):
How Sources?
You're just making shit up.
I mean it's just fuckingridiculous.
Well, you'll see.
When he's the startingquarterback next year, you can
also clip this.
Sure, what odds do you want?
Clip it, clip it.
If Daniel Jones is the startingquarterback, minnesota is not
(25:54):
winning any games, period.
That's great.
Pretty sure he won the playoffgame on the Giants.
Did they have Saquon at thetime?
They did.
Well, minnesota doesn't haveSaquon.
Well, guess who they beat, bythe way Minnesota, minnesota.
(26:14):
So yeah, no, that's nothappening.
Honestly, I hope you're right.
I pray that you're right,because I would love two free
ones on my schedule next year.
Would love it.
Aaron Jones is not on theroster for next year, so they're
going to have to sign him aswell.
(26:35):
Joe, what did you want to segueinto?
I'm sorry, what did you want tosegue into?
You said you had something youwanted to bring up.
No, that's it.
In terms of the MinnesotaVikings, I don't know what
Detroit's going to do.
Still, you can still have a lotof your weapons.
You just need to find a good OC.
Maybe Kling's there, I don'tknow.
(26:57):
They're going to go get BobbySlowik.
Who Slowik the Bears?
No Detroit.
I'm just surprised MikeMcDaniel didn't get fired.
I'm surprised Brian Dabledidn't get fired, as much as I
(27:18):
don't think he should.
I think he's a great coach, buthe's just not producing
whatsoever, except for that oneplayoff win against the Vikings
Over the summer, when there'snothing going on.
We're going to each week.
(27:39):
I don't know if there's 32weeks in the summer, but each
week we're going to be afictitious GM for each NFL team.
I wouldn't hate that.
I don't think there's 32 weeks.
You might have to break thatdown into 16.
There's only 52 weeks in a year.
Where are you two from?
(28:00):
Did you get an educationanywhere?
I don't know.
There's closer to 18 weeks in asummer bed.
We can break that down into 16.
What are you laughing at overthere, you mutts?
I don't know who taught youanything about life.
Why am I getting dragged intothis?
(28:21):
I wasn't the one that said Idon't know if there's 32 weeks
in a summer Guilty association.
I don't know.
I just said he was wrong.
That's all you say.
Wrong Because you make shit up,you troll.
Go back to your bridge.
No, brad's got his sources.
(28:41):
Sources, sources are tellinghim to stop.
Yeah, they have to remainanonymous.
His nephew's niece's cousin isdating JJ McCarthy's little
sister, but they don't live inthe same house and JJ McCarthy
doesn't know she exists.
I mean this is gettingridiculous.
(29:02):
Live in the same house and JJMcCarthy doesn't know she exists
.
I mean this is gettingridiculous.
Moving forward, let's talk aboutthe divisional matchups.
This week we got Championshipmatchups Excuse me, championship
matchups this week.
Let's get started in Philly.
This is spread six and a half.
It is Six's a spread.
(29:23):
Six and a half, it is Six and ahalf.
We think where do we stand here, unless this is somebody's pick
?
I don't want to take this fromyou.
I do have this in my picks.
If you've been riding with mefrom the start, you have that
Eagles Super Bowl.
I do have this and my picks,but I do have a few Riding with
(29:44):
me from the start.
You have that Eagles Super Bowlfuture looming out there and
we're going to hold, hold, holdand ride it out.
Quit gagging.
Hold, hold, hold and ride itout.
We only talk about the goodpicks we make, not the disasters
over there.
What do you mean?
Yeah, what happened to yourcollege football futures?
Ohio State won the nationalchampionship.
(30:05):
What about Cam Ward?
To win the Heisman in Miami tomake the college football
playoffs.
How the hell did they not makethe playoff?
That was unbelievable, so solidin week 10.
Those were both locks.
All they had to do was not losethe Georgia Tech in Syracuse.
(30:26):
Kyle McCord, I don't even knowGeorgia Tech's quarterback,
hanson Kings yeah, king, that'sthe other one.
Sure Kings of the running back,maybe, I don't know.
They can't stop an end around.
I don't think Carson Beck'sgoing to help you out there.
That was my favorite signing ofthe year.
Week one match against NotreDame.
(30:47):
They might win, they will win.
It's in Miami At night.
They're going to win, as longas the Cavender twins are on the
sideline, that's all I careabout.
How did we get to talking aboutCarson?
That's the last thing I want todo, right, moving forward, brad
(31:10):
, what are your thoughts?
Eileen, commanders, let's noteven pick.
You think the Commanders canwin the game?
No, on the six and a half, no,eagles roll, eagles roll, eagles
roll.
How many yards is I mean?
If Jalen Hurts is going to play, they're going to curb, stomp
him.
Full practice yesterday andtoday.
(31:35):
Okay, so this is stupid.
It makes no sense.
And you're asking for yourquarterback to get killed.
Commanders DC came out and saidthey're going to hit Jalen
hurts like a running back If hetakes off running.
I don't know if he knows thisor not, but his team runs a
college offense where hisquarterback runs the ball an
awful lot and Jaden Danielsweighs zero pounds.
(31:57):
He he's going to get killed.
If you're threatening JalenHurts, they're going to kill
your quarterback, period.
Yeah, you know that they'redoing Bounty Gate right now.
Good for them.
Jaden Daniels doesn't survivethis game, that's yeah.
(32:19):
If somebody takes a cheap shotat Jalen Hurts, the Eagles
defense, jalen Carter, mightjust straight up murder Jaden
Daniels on the field.
What about Big Don?
What's Big Don going to do?
Fall over on him.
Maybe Can't mess with theItalians, man.
I am Italian.
We can get away from Big Don,no problem.
(32:39):
Can't mess with the Italians,man.
I am Italian.
We can get away from big Dom,no problem.
Get thrown out of a game on thesideline like an idiot.
Eagles are going to win thisgame, come on Right.
I'm glad that Hurts got hurtagainst the Commanders because
it would be hard to beat a teamthree times and they were
(33:00):
dominating that game before hegot injured.
They're up 14-0 driving.
But I don't know, black magic'sa powerful thing, it is.
That's why I lean on the 6.5.
Dude, they shouldn't have beatthe Lions.
Somehow they put together thebest game of their fucking
season.
It shouldn't be the LionsSomehow they put together the
best game of their fuckingseason Shouldn't have beat the
Lions.
42 points second quarter thatis insane.
(33:22):
Where was that?
Neither defense decided to showup.
What are we doing here?
No, all right.
Moving on to the next game yeah, your favorite game, my
favorite game.
Why is this my favorite game?
I don't know.
It's because you got thatbrooch on your hoodie with your
(33:44):
initials like your idol.
Alright, whatever Moral of thestory is, let's go Bills.
As big as a Jaden Daniels hateras I am, I am also a giant
Patrick Mahomes and TravisKelsey hater.
This is bullshit Again withthis game on Saturday last week.
(34:08):
What the fuck are these calls?
Hit him in the face.
What do you want him to do?
Not call it?
Blow the fuck up.
Okay, let's take.
What do you want him to do Notcall it?
You're going to blow the fuckup.
Okay, let's take them one byone.
The one in the pocket.
When he got hit, basically inthe jaw, it was a little low, it
(34:30):
was there, you can call it.
Probably gets called all thetime.
It shouldn't be called, butit's going to get called, no
matter who the quarterback is.
The second one where he slidlate.
Forgive you, it's going to getcalled, no matter who.
The quarterback is the secondone where he slid late.
Forgive you, he slid late, butwatch the replay.
Freaking Wizard of Oz dog overthere Toto, toto, toto, whatever
his name is.
His helmet is where PatrickMahomes' shin would have been if
(34:53):
he was standing up.
He went for his head justbecause he missed, because he's
an idiot and ran into his ownguy.
That doesn't stop you fromgetting the call.
He bowled at his head while onthe ground.
I think it should very much notbe called if you miss.
Do you know how many timesdudes dive over quarterbacks?
(35:15):
I agree that's what they shoulddo.
They should go over thequarterback.
So do you think you would havebeen at the chest or hip and
you're good?
So do you think people shouldnot get arrested for attempted
murder Because they didn't killthe guy?
Well, it would be attemptedmurder, not murder, so they
(35:35):
wouldn't be charged with murder.
This is a very big differencebetween our Same thing, same
thing.
No, you're right, joey, it'sthe same thing, same thing.
Okay, Making terrible analogiesEither way.
Moving forward, where do westand?
(35:57):
I'm on Team Bills.
I'm on team Josh Allen.
I don't know what happened tomy boy, kami Fairbair.
You just started missing kicks.
He was nails all year.
That's what cost them the game.
(36:18):
Missed field goals, terribledecisions.
I thought they played fine.
Cj Stroud played fine.
I thought they scored 14 points.
It's not great.
I don't know if they did notplay fine.
Really, they scored 12 points.
(36:39):
Let's be honest.
Yeah, but in terms of BillsChiefs I mean, the Chiefs are
going to win Because we're allcheering for the Bills.
Yeah, and 86% of the money ison the Bills as of today.
There's a lot of time left.
(37:04):
Is the line moved at all?
Yeah, it went from 2.5 to 1.5.
Okay, at least the line'smoving.
Yeah, I don't know.
The Sharps are just waiting forit to go down to pick them and
hammer Kansas City.
Yeah, I either want aCommander's Chiefs Super Bowl,
(37:29):
because we have Black Magicversus the Alphabet Mafia, or I
want Eagles-Bills battle thePatriots.
I don't want to see JadenDaniels make a Super Bowl.
I'm going to be completelyhonest with you.
No, marcus Mariota is thestarting quarterback.
I cannot hear one more timeabout Jaden Daniels throwing for
(37:51):
300 yards, with yards perattempt at 2.7.
What are you typing yourselfover there for Mariota?
Oh, go, go, go ahead, go ahead.
All right, should we haveanything else to talk about?
(38:12):
College basketball?
No, we can talk about that in asecond.
Do you see why is Illinoisranked 10th for next year for
football Preseason rankings?
Anyhow, I'll be excited.
Chris, do your ducks comeanywhere close?
(38:34):
By next year you can go to agame.
I don't live up there anymore.
I don't know what close by is.
I don't know Rock is.
I want to travel across thecountry.
Maryland they probably will goto Rutgers, maryland, penn State
(38:55):
Stupid.
Yeah, sure, joe, you want totalk about college basketball.
I don't have much.
I really haven't been paying awhole lot of attention.
I've been loving live bettinglately though, just kind of
watching games, feeling them outand then seeing if the spread
moves one way or another the wayI like it, and then hitting
(39:16):
that.
Well, yeah, it's pretty easy.
Xavier goes up in the secondhalf and then they lose every
fucking game.
Yeah, yeah, it's been a greatbet lately.
What else had a nice one on UNCWake Forest.
That was a good game.
I hit Wake Forest.
They looked like they had amajority of the control.
Joe, you're missing the biggame this weekend.
(39:39):
What's that?
Bournemouth versus NottinghamForest?
It's a big game in the Prem.
Where's Bournemouth on thetable?
Like sixth Jeez, good for them.
Yeah, you guys are getting dogwalked by city, but anyway, uh,
(40:03):
should we move into the picks?
I don't want to waste any moretime about college basketball.
Yeah, all right, let's moveinto the picks.
I still think alabama's winningit all.
So if that futures, we have oneleg down in my futures bets, my
future parlay Ohio State to winit all, eagles to win the Super
Bowl, alabama to win the NCAAtournament and Rory to win the
(40:24):
Masters.
Hey, you lost me on Rory to winthe Masters.
Alright, brad, you want to startus off this week with the picks
.
I'll go last.
I feel like I go first orsecond every week.
Sure, I can start us off hereSticking with college basketball
.
I'm going to one of the hottestteams in the country.
Either of you got a guess ofwhere I'm going.
(40:44):
No, we are going to a teamthat's won eight in a row, 6-0
in the MAAC.
We are taking Miami of Ohiothey're a dog at plus 6.5 at
Akron.
Akron is the other undefeatedteam in the MAAC.
I think Miami of Ohio's guardplay is a little better and I'll
take the points and theundefeated leaders in the MAAC.
(41:05):
Miami of Ohio plus 6.5 at AkronSounds good.
Hawks just lost in overtime.
For my first pick, I'm going togo to one of the guys bags hates
.
Take travis, kelsey, anytimetouchdown plus 110, because it's
playoffs and kelsey shows up inthe playoffs.
(41:26):
Wow, that was one of my picks.
That's fine, okay.
Well, for my first pick, I'mgonna go.
I'm going to go to the othergame.
I'm going to go.
Excuse me, I'm going to stay inthe same game, I'm going to go
Khalil Shakir over 56.5receiving yards.
I feel like Josh Allen's goingto have to air it out in that
(41:47):
cold weather and honestly, hecould throw it to anyone, but
Shakir seems to be the mainoption right now.
Yeah, I like it.
I like it For my second pick.
I like it.
I like it For my second pick.
I don't know why I did this, butI'm going with the over of the
Eagles-Commanders game 47.5.
If Washington is going to keepthis close, which I think they
(42:07):
will, it's going to have to be ashootout.
If there's going to be 42points in a quarter, why can't
there be 47 in a game?
So I'm going to take the over.5in the Eagles Commanders.
I've not looked at the weatherreport, but I do not anticipate
another snow game.
Chris, why are you saying that?
(42:28):
That one worries me.
It worries me because they'veall been over so far, except for
the Chiefs.
It seems really easy.
Yeah, it seems too easy.
Yeah, I feel like a 3-20 game.
I'm going to stay in that game.
For my second pick, I'm going togo Deami Brown over 41.5 yards.
(42:51):
He seems like just the sneakyguy all the time because you
know, the top two are alwayscovered, and Jaden finds him.
I think he's 41-and-a-half inone play, so I'm taking that.
I like it.
Playoff Deami.
I'm going to go over to theCommanders-Eagles game as well.
(43:15):
I'm going to be taking AustinEckler over 19.5 rushing yards
at minus 110.
Is he going to get in the game?
Why wouldn't he?
He gets in the game a lot.
I don't watch that much commiesfootball.
I like to go two backs a lotnow.
Yeah, for my third and finalpick staying in that
(43:39):
Eagles-Commanders game.
I don't like this pick, butwhen you see the something
highest of all time, I'm goingto fade it.
We have the highest rushingprop ever per sources and I'm
going to take the under ofSaquon Barkley 125.5 rushing
yards.
There's Brad and his sourcesagain.
You take the under of SaquonBarkley 125.5 rushing yards.
(44:00):
There's Brad and his sourcesagain.
He snuck that one in there too.
He thought you got it First.
Sources For the Pat McAfee show.
Chris, for my last pick, we'regoing long shot.
(44:22):
I'm taking an anytime touchdownin the Commander's Eagles game.
I'm sticking with my guy, biamiBrown Plus 310.
Biami Brown touchdown Love it.
I also got a long shot, but Igot a plus 275 in here.
We're going to move it over tothe court.
We're going to go tennis.
(44:44):
We're going to go center setbetting.
We're going to have winningsets 3-1 to win the match plus
275.
For some reason they got thespread of the match.
They got a minus 140 for minus1.5 sets, which means you would
have to win 3-1 or 3-0.
But they got him plus 275 towin 3-1.
So I'm going to take 3-1.
Love it, love it.
(45:09):
That's our picks this week,chris.
What's our overall?
79-101.
109 last week, 79 and 101, 109last week.
Oh god, that's not true.
I hit it back.
What'd you hit?
Patrick Cantlay, top 20.
Oh, I'm sorry.
(45:29):
1 and 8.
You guys suck.
You went 1 and 2.
Hold me down.
You actually have the worstrecord of the three of us.
How bad is it that QuinshawnJunkhead's got three touchdowns?
Travion Henderson zero, zero.
(45:52):
Big zilch, what are you going todo To make you feel better?
I took the Celtics minus 12.5and they lost by 18.
Plus 12.5?
No, I took the Celtics at minus12.5 and they lost by 16 or 18.
I don't remember which.
(46:12):
If it makes you feel any better, I took the Lions minus 9.5 and
they lost the game outright.
Is that worse than taking theunder in that game and getting
it waxed in a quarter.
It wasn't waxed until thesecond quarter.
The first quarter we thought wewere cruising, we were good, and
then one play touchdown ninetimes in a row.
(46:32):
Just got to move on.
Next week we got a big week.
This week I'm feeling 9-0.
Saquon's gonna break off 270yards.
Yeah, the commander's gottaload the box.
Bobby Wagner, bobby Wagnerlegacy game.
(46:56):
The only way this works out Foryou, to be perfectly honest, is
if Saquon goes for 270 yardcatches instead of runs yeah,
they try to get him out of theloaded box and get him the ball.
Or if Hurts runs more.
We'll see what they do.
(47:23):
I, that's just such a high line.
My my honorable mention pick ofthe week was hertz under 30 and
a half, so rushing.
My honorable pick of the weekis man City Moneyline plus 195.
Thanks, chelsea Dogs.
Just so you know, last timeEagles commanders played, when
(47:50):
Pickett played most of the game,saquon ran for 150.
And the first game he went for146.
It's wild Brad's taking under125.
Sign me up.
According to sources, whenplaying the Commanders, he's
never been under 146.
(48:11):
He's never been under 146.
According to sources.
How bad do you feel for Giantsfans right now?
I don't feel bad at all, thosestupid.
They were wasting him.
At least he's winning.
No, I don't feel bad for that.
He's been healthy for the firsttime.
I feel bad that you could havetaken Jaden Daniels if Tommy
(48:32):
DeVito didn't win threepointless games last year.
And then you let Saquon walk onnational television and he
breaks fucking every rushingrecord.
Oh, and, by the way, the twoteams that got those guys are
playing in the NFC Championship,get fucked.
It feels good to be a Bears fanright now, and I thought I would
never say that in the year of2024, but I guess it's 2025.
(48:56):
It's a new year.
Why?
Why do you have to be year?
Why You're not winning a roadgame next year?
Because there's optimism.
This is coming from you who saidoh, you're playing the fourth
place schedule, fuck off, pick aside More.
You're not winning a road game.
Okay, then pick a side.
You're still paying the shot onWatson.
Shut up, someone's got to do it.
(49:17):
No one has to do it.
No one has to do it.
But apparently, per sources, hecould potentially have a breach
of his contract.
No, there's no breach of hiscontract.
He's going to see the processin the video.
He's doing nothing to give upthat money because he knows he
(49:40):
is not getting another contract,no matter what.
After this, he was out of hiswalking boot.
You can see it in the video.
It's still on his leg.
Are you sure that's not anankle monitor?
Yeah, it's pretty high up hisleg.
Yeah, the Browns are fucked.
Yeah, that's sad.
Yeah, the Browns are fucked.
Yeah, that's sad.
(50:02):
One of the worst contracts inNFL history.
But hey, there was an excellenthe could fuck up to.
So you're almost out.
One more year, right, we gotanything else.
We should wrap this up here.
Two more years.
Yeah, chris has got some statsfor us.
What stats do I have?
I don't have any other stats.
(50:22):
What do you mean?
You have your notebook back.
What the hell's going on, chris?
I gave you the stat about roadroad home dogs last week and you
still bet baltimore.
Yeah, because I'm a curse, you.
You convinced me so much that Ipicked Baltimore in my pick-em
pool.
That was stupid.
No, chris picked Baltimorebecause he signs with his best
(50:45):
friend, ryan Clark.
That's why Do you just makeshit up all the time?
Is that how it works?
I know you and Stephen A Smithand Paul Feinbaum are hanging
out.
Even that 70 batch you gotgoing on over there.
What was the chick's name in thescandal?
Joy Taylor, joy Taylor, thankyou.
(51:09):
Yeah, joy Taylor was there withStephen A.
He brought her.
Bradley doesn't have a shot.
Bradley doesn't have 1.5million.
Well, with that peanut butterscandal, apparently, that's not
enough either.
So you're going to need a lotmore.
That was for the hairdresser,not for Joy Kaelin.
Yeah, come on, joe.
Allegedly Sure, I don't want toget sued.
(51:31):
Allegedly no stats.
No, I don't have any.
I'm sorry, I haven't had timeto tear.
Okay, I, no, I don't have any.
I'm sorry, I haven't had timeto care.
Okay, I just got home fromVegas.
We just talked about Saquon'sstats after you came up with
that bullshit pic.
There's your stats.
Do you want to talk about yourVegas trip or no, sure?
What do you want to talk about?
Just the nice people you metoutside of the establishments
(51:55):
you were at.
I was in the establishment.
Oh, I was in the establishment.
Oh, I was in Paris Hotel andCasino just trying to play a
little slot machine at 5.30 inthe morning and was floozy
smoking a cigarette.
Told me I could grab her bootyfor good luck and I told her no,
(52:15):
thank you, please move along.
I don't have any money man thatmove along.
I don't have any money man.
That's fun.
Now how do they let thesepeople in?
It's ridiculous.
In the country or in the casino?
In the casino, it's pretty easy.
You just walk in.
They let everybody in Probablyhadn't left from the night
(52:35):
before, to be fair.
Yeah, I can only imagine.
Never been to Vegas.
I don't have any plans to gosoon.
Kind of check it off eventually.
I feel like it's a fun time youget up early, you see some wild
stuff.
I would love to plan a SharpAction Daily trip out there At
(52:57):
some point during the nextfootball season.
Have fun on a Sunday sitting bya pool watching all eight games
at once.
It sounds nice.
Chris got us with the hotelroom.
I get a free hotel room.
How are you getting a freehotel room?
Crashing with you, I'm alsocounted as your carry-on or
(53:20):
personal item on the plane.
You get free flights.
That's how you know you're inhere.

Welcome back to the sharpaction daily podcast.
(00:58):
What's going on everybody?
Welcome back to the SharpAction Daily Podcast.
I'm your host, bradley Brunig,and I'm joined tonight by the
two usual personalities of theshow, chris and Bags.
Chris, how are we doing tonight?
I'm alive.
Good, I'm on a you knowrecovery from Vegas trip, but
(01:21):
I'm alive.
Yeah, we'll get into that alittle later.
I'm going to lead off tonight'sshow with a little something.
We had a college footballnational champion crowned in the
middle of divisional footballplay and some extracurriculars
going on on Monday.
(01:41):
Did the college football seasondrag out too far?
That's a dumb question.
The answer is yes.
Would you like to hear mysolution to fix it?
Does it go down to eight gamesor not?
Have six weeks in betweenfreaking playoff games?
(02:02):
No, the 10 days is fine.
In between freaking playoffgames no, the 10 days is fine.
What I would do is I would movethe Army-Navy game as the
inaugural kickoff game to everyseason.
So you're agreeing with PaulFeinbaum.
Mr Kline is who I saw that from.
I don't know who you'respeaking of, but yeah, we move
that to the first game of theyear and we get rid of
(02:24):
conference championship week.
If you win, if you're theregular season winner of the Big
Ten, cool, you get whateverseed.
How are you going to determinethat?
I would be all for this.
In a normal scenario whereconferences are 18 teams, this
would be perfect.
However, in the current format,18 teams aren't even going to
(02:50):
crown a conference champion.
Half these teams don't playeach other.
Let's make every regular seasongame important, then, and make
it conflicting opponents, andthen if they each played one
team in their schedule, both ofthem won.
Let's say, both teams are 14-0,.
Right, ohio State, oregon both14-0.
(03:11):
They all played 13 differentgames, except for one game.
They both played Wisconsin.
Oregon beat Wisconsin 40-3.
Ohio State beat them 21-17.
Oregon's your big time champion.
What if Oregon was at home andOhio State was on the road?
(03:32):
I don't know.
I think we're going to have tostart treating these power
conferences more like NFLdivisions, where you have a
champion and then they get thebid to the playoff.
How about we go back to eastand west nine teams in each one
crossover game, you playeveryone on your side and you
(03:54):
are the big 10 west champ andthe big 10 east champ, and be
done with it.
So okay, so you get two Big Tenteams, two SEC, two ACC, two by
now, two Pac-12.
They're Mountain West.
The commentary line that ruinedeverything, not everything.
(04:17):
You got to give it time tomarinate.
Changes need to be made forsure.
If they go into the next season, they go.
We're going to do the sameexact thing All over again.
Some other stupid scenario willhappen, right, it's most likely
.
Well, they already announced2026, it's in Vegas On January
(04:38):
25th.
So I thought it was 27.
I thought it was 26 at firstand I went back and looked and
it said 27.
Oh, yeah, so it would be the26th season national
championship in January of 27.
I was worried at first.
(04:58):
I'm going to be in Vegas.
This is going to be a disaster.
Oh, we're definitely doing alive show from there.
Oh, you don't oppose.
Alright, we move on.
Chris, do you find it acoincidence that the two most
(05:18):
outspoken faithful teams were inthe National Championship?
We said those were the two mostoutspoken faithful teams.
That's not true, joe.
You got another team Clemson.
Huh, clemson, clemson werebaptizing people on campus.
Didn't hear about that.
Asu Huh, did you say?
(05:39):
Asu?
Yeah, they're the mostheathenist school in the country
.
Maybe their mascot is literallySatan?
No, probably Boise Clemson.
Yeah, I would put those upthere with your Notre Dames.
(06:01):
Alabama Baptist, southernMethodist.
What are we doing here?
Alright, you're getting awayfrom my point.
Alabama Baptist, southernMethodist.
What are we doing here?
All right, you're getting awayfrom my point.
Anyway, are you saying thatJesus put these teams into the
championship?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I'm pretty sure the collegefootball playoff committee put
these two teams in thechampionship.
Let's be honest, I don't knowIf I didn't have a futures bet
(06:24):
on Ohio State.
This was my worst nightmarenational championship matchup,
because I physically hate bothof these teams and their fan
bases to the core.
They have the two worst fanbases in the country In the
country, in college football, incollege sports in general.
Look at the people that youknow that root for Notre Dame.
(06:46):
Look at the people that youknow that root for Notre Dame.
Look at the people that youknow that root for Ohio State.
Besides your brother and you, Idon't root for Ohio State.
Yes, you do.
30 pieces of apparel will saydifferently From all from 2005.
Debatable, moving forward,they're by far the most annoying
(07:11):
, most obnoxious fan bases incollege.
And I put that over Texas,which is astonishing, but at
least Texas knows when they suck.
Yeah.
Also, can we talk about havingKirk Herbstreit call an Ohio
State national championship game?
This feels like a problem to me.
Before or after he startedcrying yeah, both, I don't know.
(07:39):
He's biased to his core,literally is crying when they
win a championship and iscalling the game.
How can you expect him to callthat game Unbiased?
Unbiasedly, you can put on theMcAfee broadcast, which is just
terrible to watch.
(07:59):
No offense, you get a kid onthe team.
Yeah, love Pat, go watch it inthe suite that you can very much
afford.
What with your best friend,lebron James?
Yeah, what is LeBron doingthere?
I don't know.
(08:21):
We can go on and on about it.
We can point can fan bases, butit's Ohio State and their group
of idiots on Twitter who liketo talk trash about everybody
else spending money and stealingtheir players, except they
spent the most money by far andpaid everybody.
So it's full of hypocrites oruneducated people.
(08:45):
Apparently, oregon has a moreexpensive roster.
No, they didn't.
That was proven false multipletimes.
Oregon only paid $11 millionfor this year's roster.
Breaking news Cowboys hiredBrian Schottenheimer man.
(09:07):
So here's the thing I don'tunderstand about Notre Dame.
We can move on from ohio statenotre dame used to be.
I would you agree that theirfan base almost acts like they
walk on water, like they arejesus christ themselves?
This used to be a school forpoor irish catholic kids.
I promise you you're not thatgood.
You didn't stand a chance inthis game.
Good, you didn't stand a chancein this game.
You knew you didn't stand achance in this game.
(09:31):
Yep, they have an easy path tothe playoff every single year.
Every year, they get to make uptheir schedule.
Play one top 25 team lose tosome shit school.
You can't have a worse lossthan NIU.
You can't.
Alabama has entered the no.
(09:52):
No, niu is far worse thanOklahoma.
They didn't recover Oklahoma.
But, yeah, marcus Freeman'sbetter than Brian Kelly.
Shut up, he's doing what BrianKelly couldn't in a 12-team
playoff shirt Congratulations.
You wouldn't have been in a 14.
You wouldn't have been in a2-team.
You might not have been in an18.
(10:13):
Shut up, you wouldn't have.
You were not in an 18.
You're not.
I understand you're the 7 seed,but you're not in an 8 seed.
You're in a 7 because you cansneak in at a 12, and you play
nobody.
What percentage of the NotreDame fan base attended the
(10:33):
school?
Eight Six.
What percentage of the OhioState fan base attended the
school?
Well, it depends if one oftheir.
It's the same number.
It depends if one of theirinbred.
Well, ron's the biggest fan.
He didn't even fucking go tocollege.
Chris liked that one.
That's all they did is showLeBron 30 times looking for
Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game.
(10:53):
He never even fucking wentthere.
Well, yeah, he didn't go to anycollege at all.
When you sell your soul to theAlphabet Mafia, they'll show you
on TV.
His son literally went toanother Big Ten school the
Make-A-Swish kid or the otherson, no, the Make-A-Wish kid,
(11:14):
chris.
You had a lot of reactionary tosome of those comments.
Care to elaborate, I don't know.
A couple of them got me theinbred one.
It's why I place the futureabout Ohio State to make that
(11:35):
national championship.
Yeah, we had a good time.
Shout out to what was?
That place called CarolinaAlehouse, carolina Alehouse and
Marriott.
That place called CarolinaAlehouse, carolina Alehouse, in
Marriott.
Yeah, I like the CarolinaAlehouse.
Yeah, it's pretty good,delicious, some fantastic
barbecue wings.
No free sponsorships though.
All right, can I get into mybags Banter?
(12:00):
I have a fun little this is alittle bit of a comparison game
that I would like to play withyou guys.
Sure, without further ado,we'll give Bags Banter a
spotlight, even though he talkedout of turn about a half hour
ago.
Thank you very much.
So I'm going to give you guystwo rookie quarterback seasons.
Okay, I want you to tell mewhich one you would prefer, or
(12:24):
if you think they're similar inany way or shape or form.
Player number one 3,960 totalyards of offense.
Can I make a disclaimer beforeyou continue?
Sure that you know which one'sBo Nix and which one's Jaden
Daniels?
No, he's going to do CalebWilliams and Jaden Daniels.
Can you just put the records asthe last stat please?
(12:46):
We cannot, it doesn't have iton the stat sheet here.
Oh, okay, so two rookiequarterbacks 3,960 total yards
for player one, 63.2 completionpercentage, 20 touchdowns, 12
interceptions, 87 passer rating.
(13:06):
Yeah, that's Shane Daniels.
Tier number two 4,030 totalyards, 62.5 completion
percentage, 20 touchdowns, 6interceptions, 87.8 passer
rating.
I don't know.
Are there six picks In which?
Do you think these statisticsare at all similar?
(13:27):
Yes, okay.
Do you think both of thesequarterbacks should have
comparable rookie seasons?
Well, if those two are JadenDaniels and Caleb Williams, you
can throw Bo Nix in there,because he has basically the
same stats.
It is not Jaden Daniels.
One of the players is CalebWilliams.
(13:48):
He is player two.
I would like to see if you canguess player one no, it is not
Bo Nix, it's probably not fromthis year.
Cj Stroud CJ Stroud's rookieseason, correct.
Cj Stroud in no.
Cj Stroud's rookie season,correct.
Cj Stroud in the media wastreated as a god for the entire
(14:10):
fucking offseason and thisentire season he had the same,
if not lower and worse, statsthan Caleb Williams.
They won a playoff game.
Also, not getting sacked 68times Well, getting sacked 68
times is part of the problem,and not avoiding 50 total sacks
(14:31):
yeah, not that all of them.
All the sacks were his fault,because they weren't.
Obviously, he actually had thelowest percentages in the NFL of
sacks that were his fault andhe still got sacked 68 times.
That's a lot of times, dude.
That's a lot.
And obviously, yes, we haveinterior issues.
By the way, I haven't got mycongratulations from you, chris.
(14:52):
I will wait for that wheneverit comes in the mail.
But now we have Ben Johnson andsoon to be the Lions offensive
line coach.
I'm looking forward to a change.
Looking forward to a change.
However, can see where thisbites us in the ass.
There is a little bit ofrealism there.
Ben Johnson has never been ahead coach.
He is the second youngest NFLcoach in the NFL and we still
(15:18):
don't have an offensivecoordinator yet and you still
have one of the worst old linesin football as of right now, and
tevin jenkin looks like he'sgonna walk and five total
minimum, five brand new goodalignment that you can coach and
that's it.
(15:38):
No more hands.
Well, he was throwing passes inplayoff games.
I'm sorry he has wide receiversthrowing passes Down.
Touchdown in a playoff game.
Thought on that.
Mix it up, sounds great.
Browns had Joe Flacco throwingpasses in a playoff game.
(15:59):
How'd that work out?
Not well.
So yeah, let's mix it up alittle bit.
Man, the cleaning lady hitsroom 17, and Joe's ready to roll
.
The cleaning lady did finallycome.
In case you were curious, bradkept scrolling away saying
manana, manana, manana, and shedidn't come for a whole other
(16:19):
week.
So I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Yeah, I thought she wouldn'tcome back at all.
Brad must have scared her.
I for a second.
I thought he was doingsomething.
He shouldn't be in the room andshe walked in on it.
But I guess we're good.
That's not what I was, uh,thinking.
But you know, maybe ice willcome back another week.
Maybe it has something to dowith brooklyn and bond's only
(16:40):
fan page being open.
On brad's last pod on thepodcast last time.
Well, I'm glad Chris islistening to my jokes, but that
one went.
I heard you joke, brad.
That's extremely racist andit's not funny at all.
You can't be saying stuff likethat, not okay.
Just trying to make the world abetter place.
(17:01):
America first.
Well, there's a different.
Those are conflictingstatements.
Where did your people come from?
What do you mean, my people,your people, what do you mean,
you people?
Look, all I'm trying to say isthat, finally, the Bears.
(17:22):
The media destroys everythingand the media everything and
media people that shouldn't.
And this is not the greatestrookie quarterback season ever,
and not even close.
I don't know if you guys watchthis lions game.
Me and brad did.
We were sitting next to eachother and I had to hear about
this bomb that jayden danielsthrew for 59 yards of terry m
McLaurin.
(17:42):
It was a fucking bubble screen.
He threw it behind the line ofscrimmage.
What bomb, what 59-yard pass.
It was a two-yard pass.
Terry McLaurin did all thefucking work.
I don't get it.
I don't understand it.
This is not the greatest rookiequarterback of all time.
I don't know how they might goto the Super Bowl, but that's
(18:03):
ridiculous Running.
I don't know how they might goto the Super Bowl, but that's
ridiculous, right on a collegeoffense.
Also, he had to get pulled fromthe Dallas game and Mariota
saved his ass and looked like aworld beater in that offense.
So I don't know, maybe Danielsis just, eh, if Marcus Mariota
can look like a superstar inthat offense, then I cannot wait
until Cliff Kings affair gets ahead coaching job and this guy
(18:26):
looks like a fucking idiot.
I can't wait.
I'm preying on this dude'sdownfall more than anybody
else's.
I promise you.
I promise you, I'm the biggestjane daniels hater on this
planet.
Talk about racist.
I can't stand.
That was racist.
I don't think that has anythingfor caleb williams.
They are the same color.
I'm pretty sure they're likethe exact same color.
(18:47):
Moving forward, I will make thisclaim and I will make it
strongly I will pop a bottle ofchampagne when this dude goes
4-12 next year.
4-13, excuse me, there will bethis year.
I don't know how I don't get it.
So, whatever, whatever demontook his soul from him and said
(19:08):
yeah, you can win as many gamesas you want by one score on
bullshit plays.
Sure, good for him.
I cannot wait, I can't wait, Ican't wait, I can't wait, I
can't wait, I can't wait.
Champagne will be everywhere,everywhere, multiple bottles,
and I'm going to post it on theInstagram and I'm going to laugh
.
And I'm going to post this clipbefore it, and I'm going to
(19:29):
laugh Because they're going togo 4-13 next year when Cliff
Kingsbury moves on.
Where is he going?
I don't know, but he's going toget a head coaching job
somewhere.
There's only one job left whenNew Orleans.
Yeah, I can see that.
(19:49):
Who'd Vegas hire Pete Carroll?
Pete Carroll, jaguars hiredLiam Cohn.
The whatever Chiefs, broncos,chargers, raiders division has
some of the best historiccoaches.
There is Harbaugh, you got AndyReid, you got Sean Payton and
(20:15):
now Pete Carroll.
How many Super Bowls are therein that division?
I don't know.
That's a fun division, bestdivision of football.
How many of those teamshistorically, or how many of
those coaches historically, hadsome of the best quarterback
play in history?
Yeah, well, you know what PeteCarroll made Russell Wilson what
he is.
(20:35):
Let's be honest.
That's why I wouldn't haveminded having him on the Bears.
I wouldn't have hated it.
It's Bears, I wouldn't havehated it.
It's alright.
You got the guy already callingout division opponents before
he ever called a play.
It's okay.
Why shouldn't he?
(20:55):
What happened to the Northanyway?
They freaking crapped the bedin the playoffs.
You were the guy that said theyneed a team leader of men.
Freaking crap the bed in theplayoffs Football.
You were the guy that said theyneed a team leader of men.
You want a guy that's gettingfired up to go sit down now?
I don't understand.
Pick a side, maybe.
Maybe you should hire someone.
(21:17):
Is the Lions Super Bowl windowclosed?
No, might be.
Who the fuck's their offensivecoordinator and defensive
coordinator next year?
Who's going to be in the thirdOutside of the Eagles?
Who else is going to be goodnext year, because the Redskins
are going 4-13.
(21:37):
Minnesota again.
Maybe I don't know.
Minnesota has to move on fromthe Sun-Darnels.
Maybe I don't know.
Minnesota has to move on fromDonald.
Right, I mean, they don't haveto, but they should.
I don't even know if theyshould.
They should Really Depends whatJJ McCarthy actually looks like
.
Do you think JJ McCarthy hasthat?
Does he look that good?
(21:57):
Doesn't matter.
Kevin O'Connell's a great coach.
He is Fantastic coach.
Just got re-signed.
Congratulations, but it's stillJJ McCarthy.
Who's their running back?
Aaron Jones again next year.
Is he coming back, I'm going toassume.
(22:18):
So they need a younger kid togo with them Probably.
Maybe they get Scataboo.
You look like Scataboo, youknow.
Speaking of Scataboo, he had avery much lightning in a bottle
type of season this year.
You know who these Vikingsremind me of, the 05 White Sox.
Just a dogshit team thatsomehow puts together a great
(22:40):
season.
Now, granted, the White Sox won.
Just a dog shit team thatsomehow puts together a great
season.
Now, granted, the White Sox wona World Series.
The Vikings are going to look,and this goes, this works.
We went 14-3 this year.
We can do this again.
We just got to figure out howto win in the playoffs.
They're going to do this sameshit year in year out, year in
year out.
They've been doing it for thelast 10 years.
When was the last time they wonthe first round of a playoff
game the Minnesota MinneapolisMiracle?
(23:01):
Because some dude couldn't makea tackle.
Some dude didn't even go forthe tackle.
I don't know what idiot waslooking at Right, it was a
lockbox tackle.
You lose that game.
All I'm saying is this Minnesotateam is going to curse
themselves by continuing to dothe same thing over and over
again Going it works, it works,it works, it works, but it
(23:22):
doesn't.
You can make the playoffs allyou want If you can't win a
fucking game.
It doesn't work.
You've got to find a new way toattack, and having JJ McCarthy
as your quarterback this year isnot going to help you
whatsoever.
It's not.
There's no way it can.
Can you provide an alternative?
You think when the lights getbright on JJ McCarthy, he's
going to shine?
Yeah, he won a nationalchampionship by having a good
(23:46):
roster around him and playmakersand being a game manager,
because Blake Corwin ran for 10times Whoa, whoa, one at a time.
I said it's because BlakeCorwin ran for 240 yards.
Cool, with that money you'llsave on JJ McCarthy, you can
sign a good running back.
Next question what running backis in free agency that's
(24:08):
signable this year?
Aaron Jones, you can bring himback.
Not a great running back.
You can go get DeAndre Swift.
Not available, he's available.
I don't know, but you liveunder a rock.
Well, hang on.
If you think DeAndre Swift isthat good, then why would the
Bears let him go?
Because the Bears are gettingJenty.
(24:29):
I would like him to keep both.
We're getting Will Campbell,but if Will Campbell is
available, I wouldn't be tooupset with Jenty.
Okay, chris, what would youhave to say over there?
The Vikings have $57 million incap space next year, so they
can probably go get somebody.
(24:49):
I think it would be better forthem not to re-sign Sam Darnold,
but I don't know what you'regoing to get out of JJ.
To be honest, you want to hearmy wild take.
You need some defensive players, jj.
What's the starting quarterbackfor them next year?
Who is Daniel Jones?
Do you think that's a goodthing?
(25:12):
They want a mobile quarterbackthat can run.
I think they're going to rockwith Daniel Jones.
Why do they want a mobilequarterback that can run it?
What point was that everlooking to be incorporated into
the offense they ran this year?
Well, sam Darnold can't run andKevin O'Connell would like a
more mobile quarterback.
And you know this.
(25:33):
How Sources?
You're just making shit up.
I mean it's just fuckingridiculous.
Well, you'll see.
When he's the startingquarterback next year, you can
also clip this.
Sure, what odds do you want?
Clip it, clip it.
If Daniel Jones is the startingquarterback, minnesota is not
(25:54):
winning any games, period.
That's great.
Pretty sure he won the playoffgame on the Giants.
Did they have Saquon at thetime?
They did.
Well, minnesota doesn't haveSaquon.
Well, guess who they beat, bythe way Minnesota, minnesota.
(26:14):
So yeah, no, that's nothappening.
Honestly, I hope you're right.
I pray that you're right,because I would love two free
ones on my schedule next year.
Would love it.
Aaron Jones is not on theroster for next year, so they're
going to have to sign him aswell.
(26:35):
Joe, what did you want to segueinto?
I'm sorry, what did you want tosegue into?
You said you had something youwanted to bring up.
No, that's it.
In terms of the MinnesotaVikings, I don't know what
Detroit's going to do.
Still, you can still have a lotof your weapons.
You just need to find a good OC.
Maybe Kling's there, I don'tknow.
(26:57):
They're going to go get BobbySlowik.
Who Slowik the Bears?
No Detroit.
I'm just surprised MikeMcDaniel didn't get fired.
I'm surprised Brian Dabledidn't get fired, as much as I
(27:18):
don't think he should.
I think he's a great coach, buthe's just not producing
whatsoever, except for that oneplayoff win against the Vikings
Over the summer, when there'snothing going on.
We're going to each week.
(27:39):
I don't know if there's 32weeks in the summer, but each
week we're going to be afictitious GM for each NFL team.
I wouldn't hate that.
I don't think there's 32 weeks.
You might have to break thatdown into 16.
There's only 52 weeks in a year.
Where are you two from?
(28:00):
Did you get an educationanywhere?
I don't know.
There's closer to 18 weeks in asummer bed.
We can break that down into 16.
What are you laughing at overthere, you mutts?
I don't know who taught youanything about life.
Why am I getting dragged intothis?
(28:21):
I wasn't the one that said Idon't know if there's 32 weeks
in a summer Guilty association.
I don't know.
I just said he was wrong.
That's all you say.
Wrong Because you make shit up,you troll.
Go back to your bridge.
No, brad's got his sources.
(28:41):
Sources, sources are tellinghim to stop.
Yeah, they have to remainanonymous.
His nephew's niece's cousin isdating JJ McCarthy's little
sister, but they don't live inthe same house and JJ McCarthy
doesn't know she exists.
I mean this is gettingridiculous.
(29:02):
Live in the same house and JJMcCarthy doesn't know she exists
.
I mean this is gettingridiculous.
Moving forward, let's talk aboutthe divisional matchups.
This week we got Championshipmatchups Excuse me, championship
matchups this week.
Let's get started in Philly.
This is spread six and a half.
It is Six's a spread.
(29:23):
Six and a half, it is Six and ahalf.
We think where do we stand here, unless this is somebody's pick
?
I don't want to take this fromyou.
I do have this in my picks.
If you've been riding with mefrom the start, you have that
Eagles Super Bowl.
I do have this and my picks,but I do have a few Riding with
(29:44):
me from the start.
You have that Eagles Super Bowlfuture looming out there and
we're going to hold, hold, holdand ride it out.
Quit gagging.
Hold, hold, hold and ride itout.
We only talk about the goodpicks we make, not the disasters
over there.
What do you mean?
Yeah, what happened to yourcollege football futures?
Ohio State won the nationalchampionship.
(30:05):
What about Cam Ward?
To win the Heisman in Miami tomake the college football
playoffs.
How the hell did they not makethe playoff?
That was unbelievable, so solidin week 10.
Those were both locks.
All they had to do was not losethe Georgia Tech in Syracuse.
(30:26):
Kyle McCord, I don't even knowGeorgia Tech's quarterback,
hanson Kings yeah, king, that'sthe other one.
Sure Kings of the running back,maybe, I don't know.
They can't stop an end around.
I don't think Carson Beck'sgoing to help you out there.
That was my favorite signing ofthe year.
Week one match against NotreDame.
(30:47):
They might win, they will win.
It's in Miami At night.
They're going to win, as longas the Cavender twins are on the
sideline, that's all I careabout.
How did we get to talking aboutCarson?
That's the last thing I want todo, right, moving forward, brad
(31:10):
, what are your thoughts?
Eileen, commanders, let's noteven pick.
You think the Commanders canwin the game?
No, on the six and a half, no,eagles roll, eagles roll, eagles
roll.
How many yards is I mean?
If Jalen Hurts is going to play, they're going to curb, stomp
him.
Full practice yesterday andtoday.
(31:35):
Okay, so this is stupid.
It makes no sense.
And you're asking for yourquarterback to get killed.
Commanders DC came out and saidthey're going to hit Jalen
hurts like a running back If hetakes off running.
I don't know if he knows thisor not, but his team runs a
college offense where hisquarterback runs the ball an
awful lot and Jaden Danielsweighs zero pounds.
(31:57):
He he's going to get killed.
If you're threatening JalenHurts, they're going to kill
your quarterback, period.
Yeah, you know that they'redoing Bounty Gate right now.
Good for them.
Jaden Daniels doesn't survivethis game, that's yeah.
(32:19):
If somebody takes a cheap shotat Jalen Hurts, the Eagles
defense, jalen Carter, mightjust straight up murder Jaden
Daniels on the field.
What about Big Don?
What's Big Don going to do?
Fall over on him.
Maybe Can't mess with theItalians, man.
I am Italian.
We can get away from Big Don,no problem.
(32:39):
Can't mess with the Italians,man.
I am Italian.
We can get away from big Dom,no problem.
Get thrown out of a game on thesideline like an idiot.
Eagles are going to win thisgame, come on Right.
I'm glad that Hurts got hurtagainst the Commanders because
it would be hard to beat a teamthree times and they were
(33:00):
dominating that game before hegot injured.
They're up 14-0 driving.
But I don't know, black magic'sa powerful thing, it is.
That's why I lean on the 6.5.
Dude, they shouldn't have beatthe Lions.
Somehow they put together thebest game of their fucking
season.
It shouldn't be the LionsSomehow they put together the
best game of their fuckingseason Shouldn't have beat the
Lions.
42 points second quarter thatis insane.
(33:22):
Where was that?
Neither defense decided to showup.
What are we doing here?
No, all right.
Moving on to the next game yeah, your favorite game, my
favorite game.
Why is this my favorite game?
I don't know.
It's because you got thatbrooch on your hoodie with your
(33:44):
initials like your idol.
Alright, whatever Moral of thestory is, let's go Bills.
As big as a Jaden Daniels hateras I am, I am also a giant
Patrick Mahomes and TravisKelsey hater.
This is bullshit Again withthis game on Saturday last week.
(34:08):
What the fuck are these calls?
Hit him in the face.
What do you want him to do?
Not call it?
Blow the fuck up.
Okay, let's take.
What do you want him to do Notcall it?
You're going to blow the fuckup.
Okay, let's take them one byone.
The one in the pocket.
When he got hit, basically inthe jaw, it was a little low, it
(34:30):
was there, you can call it.
Probably gets called all thetime.
It shouldn't be called, butit's going to get called, no
matter who the quarterback is.
The second one where he slidlate.
Forgive you, it's going to getcalled, no matter who.
The quarterback is the secondone where he slid late.
Forgive you, he slid late, butwatch the replay.
Freaking Wizard of Oz dog overthere Toto, toto, toto, whatever
his name is.
His helmet is where PatrickMahomes' shin would have been if
(34:53):
he was standing up.
He went for his head justbecause he missed, because he's
an idiot and ran into his ownguy.
That doesn't stop you fromgetting the call.
He bowled at his head while onthe ground.
I think it should very much notbe called if you miss.
Do you know how many timesdudes dive over quarterbacks?
(35:15):
I agree that's what they shoulddo.
They should go over thequarterback.
So do you think you would havebeen at the chest or hip and
you're good?
So do you think people shouldnot get arrested for attempted
murder Because they didn't killthe guy?
Well, it would be attemptedmurder, not murder, so they
(35:35):
wouldn't be charged with murder.
This is a very big differencebetween our Same thing, same
thing.
No, you're right, joey, it'sthe same thing, same thing.
Okay, Making terrible analogiesEither way.
Moving forward, where do westand?
(35:57):
I'm on Team Bills.
I'm on team Josh Allen.
I don't know what happened tomy boy, kami Fairbair.
You just started missing kicks.
He was nails all year.
That's what cost them the game.
(36:18):
Missed field goals, terribledecisions.
I thought they played fine.
Cj Stroud played fine.
I thought they scored 14 points.
It's not great.
I don't know if they did notplay fine.
Really, they scored 12 points.
(36:39):
Let's be honest.
Yeah, but in terms of BillsChiefs I mean, the Chiefs are
going to win Because we're allcheering for the Bills.
Yeah, and 86% of the money ison the Bills as of today.
There's a lot of time left.
(37:04):
Is the line moved at all?
Yeah, it went from 2.5 to 1.5.
Okay, at least the line'smoving.
Yeah, I don't know.
The Sharps are just waiting forit to go down to pick them and
hammer Kansas City.
Yeah, I either want aCommander's Chiefs Super Bowl,
(37:29):
because we have Black Magicversus the Alphabet Mafia, or I
want Eagles-Bills battle thePatriots.
I don't want to see JadenDaniels make a Super Bowl.
I'm going to be completelyhonest with you.
No, marcus Mariota is thestarting quarterback.
I cannot hear one more timeabout Jaden Daniels throwing for
(37:51):
300 yards, with yards perattempt at 2.7.
What are you typing yourselfover there for Mariota?
Oh, go, go, go ahead, go ahead.
All right, should we haveanything else to talk about?
(38:12):
College basketball?
No, we can talk about that in asecond.
Do you see why is Illinoisranked 10th for next year for
football Preseason rankings?
Anyhow, I'll be excited.
Chris, do your ducks comeanywhere close?
(38:34):
By next year you can go to agame.
I don't live up there anymore.
I don't know what close by is.
I don't know Rock is.
I want to travel across thecountry.
Maryland they probably will goto Rutgers, maryland, penn State
(38:55):
Stupid.
Yeah, sure, joe, you want totalk about college basketball.
I don't have much.
I really haven't been paying awhole lot of attention.
I've been loving live bettinglately though, just kind of
watching games, feeling them outand then seeing if the spread
moves one way or another the wayI like it, and then hitting
(39:16):
that.
Well, yeah, it's pretty easy.
Xavier goes up in the secondhalf and then they lose every
fucking game.
Yeah, yeah, it's been a greatbet lately.
What else had a nice one on UNCWake Forest.
That was a good game.
I hit Wake Forest.
They looked like they had amajority of the control.
Joe, you're missing the biggame this weekend.
(39:39):
What's that?
Bournemouth versus NottinghamForest?
It's a big game in the Prem.
Where's Bournemouth on thetable?
Like sixth Jeez, good for them.
Yeah, you guys are getting dogwalked by city, but anyway, uh,
(40:03):
should we move into the picks?
I don't want to waste any moretime about college basketball.
Yeah, all right, let's moveinto the picks.
I still think alabama's winningit all.
So if that futures, we have oneleg down in my futures bets, my
future parlay Ohio State to winit all, eagles to win the Super
Bowl, alabama to win the NCAAtournament and Rory to win the
(40:24):
Masters.
Hey, you lost me on Rory to winthe Masters.
Alright, brad, you want to startus off this week with the picks
.
I'll go last.
I feel like I go first orsecond every week.
Sure, I can start us off hereSticking with college basketball
.
I'm going to one of the hottestteams in the country.
Either of you got a guess ofwhere I'm going.
(40:44):
No, we are going to a teamthat's won eight in a row, 6-0
in the MAAC.
We are taking Miami of Ohiothey're a dog at plus 6.5 at
Akron.
Akron is the other undefeatedteam in the MAAC.
I think Miami of Ohio's guardplay is a little better and I'll
take the points and theundefeated leaders in the MAAC.
(41:05):
Miami of Ohio plus 6.5 at AkronSounds good.
Hawks just lost in overtime.
For my first pick, I'm going togo to one of the guys bags hates
.
Take travis, kelsey, anytimetouchdown plus 110, because it's
playoffs and kelsey shows up inthe playoffs.
(41:26):
Wow, that was one of my picks.
That's fine, okay.
Well, for my first pick, I'mgonna go.
I'm going to go to the othergame.
I'm going to go.
Excuse me, I'm going to stay inthe same game, I'm going to go
Khalil Shakir over 56.5receiving yards.
I feel like Josh Allen's goingto have to air it out in that
(41:47):
cold weather and honestly, hecould throw it to anyone, but
Shakir seems to be the mainoption right now.
Yeah, I like it.
I like it For my second pick.
I like it.
I like it For my second pick.
I don't know why I did this, butI'm going with the over of the
Eagles-Commanders game 47.5.
If Washington is going to keepthis close, which I think they
(42:07):
will, it's going to have to be ashootout.
If there's going to be 42points in a quarter, why can't
there be 47 in a game?
So I'm going to take the over.5in the Eagles Commanders.
I've not looked at the weatherreport, but I do not anticipate
another snow game.
Chris, why are you saying that?
(42:28):
That one worries me.
It worries me because they'veall been over so far, except for
the Chiefs.
It seems really easy.
Yeah, it seems too easy.
Yeah, I feel like a 3-20 game.
I'm going to stay in that game.
For my second pick, I'm going togo Deami Brown over 41.5 yards.
(42:51):
He seems like just the sneakyguy all the time because you
know, the top two are alwayscovered, and Jaden finds him.
I think he's 41-and-a-half inone play, so I'm taking that.
I like it.
Playoff Deami.
I'm going to go over to theCommanders-Eagles game as well.
(43:15):
I'm going to be taking AustinEckler over 19.5 rushing yards
at minus 110.
Is he going to get in the game?
Why wouldn't he?
He gets in the game a lot.
I don't watch that much commiesfootball.
I like to go two backs a lotnow.
Yeah, for my third and finalpick staying in that
(43:39):
Eagles-Commanders game.
I don't like this pick, butwhen you see the something
highest of all time, I'm goingto fade it.
We have the highest rushingprop ever per sources and I'm
going to take the under ofSaquon Barkley 125.5 rushing
yards.
There's Brad and his sourcesagain.
You take the under of SaquonBarkley 125.5 rushing yards.
(44:00):
There's Brad and his sourcesagain.
He snuck that one in there too.
He thought you got it First.
Sources For the Pat McAfee show.
Chris, for my last pick, we'regoing long shot.
(44:22):
I'm taking an anytime touchdownin the Commander's Eagles game.
I'm sticking with my guy, biamiBrown Plus 310.
Biami Brown touchdown Love it.
I also got a long shot, but Igot a plus 275 in here.
We're going to move it over tothe court.
We're going to go tennis.
(44:44):
We're going to go center setbetting.
We're going to have winningsets 3-1 to win the match plus
275.
For some reason they got thespread of the match.
They got a minus 140 for minus1.5 sets, which means you would
have to win 3-1 or 3-0.
But they got him plus 275 towin 3-1.
So I'm going to take 3-1.
Love it, love it.
(45:09):
That's our picks this week,chris.
What's our overall?
79-101.
109 last week, 79 and 101, 109last week.
Oh god, that's not true.
I hit it back.
What'd you hit?
Patrick Cantlay, top 20.
Oh, I'm sorry.
(45:29):
1 and 8.
You guys suck.
You went 1 and 2.
Hold me down.
You actually have the worstrecord of the three of us.
How bad is it that QuinshawnJunkhead's got three touchdowns?
Travion Henderson zero, zero.
(45:52):
Big zilch, what are you going todo To make you feel better?
I took the Celtics minus 12.5and they lost by 18.
Plus 12.5?
No, I took the Celtics at minus12.5 and they lost by 16 or 18.
I don't remember which.
(46:12):
If it makes you feel any better, I took the Lions minus 9.5 and
they lost the game outright.
Is that worse than taking theunder in that game and getting
it waxed in a quarter.
It wasn't waxed until thesecond quarter.
The first quarter we thought wewere cruising, we were good, and
then one play touchdown ninetimes in a row.
(46:32):
Just got to move on.
Next week we got a big week.
This week I'm feeling 9-0.
Saquon's gonna break off 270yards.
Yeah, the commander's gottaload the box.
Bobby Wagner, bobby Wagnerlegacy game.
(46:56):
The only way this works out Foryou, to be perfectly honest, is
if Saquon goes for 270 yardcatches instead of runs yeah,
they try to get him out of theloaded box and get him the ball.
Or if Hurts runs more.
We'll see what they do.
(47:23):
I, that's just such a high line.
My my honorable mention pick ofthe week was hertz under 30 and
a half, so rushing.
My honorable pick of the weekis man City Moneyline plus 195.
Thanks, chelsea Dogs.
Just so you know, last timeEagles commanders played, when
(47:50):
Pickett played most of the game,saquon ran for 150.
And the first game he went for146.
It's wild Brad's taking under125.
Sign me up.
According to sources, whenplaying the Commanders, he's
never been under 146.
(48:11):
He's never been under 146.
According to sources.
How bad do you feel for Giantsfans right now?
I don't feel bad at all, thosestupid.
They were wasting him.
At least he's winning.
No, I don't feel bad for that.
He's been healthy for the firsttime.
I feel bad that you could havetaken Jaden Daniels if Tommy
(48:32):
DeVito didn't win threepointless games last year.
And then you let Saquon walk onnational television and he
breaks fucking every rushingrecord.
Oh, and, by the way, the twoteams that got those guys are
playing in the NFC Championship,get fucked.
It feels good to be a Bears fanright now, and I thought I would
never say that in the year of2024, but I guess it's 2025.
(48:56):
It's a new year.
Why?
Why do you have to be year?
Why You're not winning a roadgame next year?
Because there's optimism.
This is coming from you who saidoh, you're playing the fourth
place schedule, fuck off, pick aside More.
You're not winning a road game.
Okay, then pick a side.
You're still paying the shot onWatson.
Shut up, someone's got to do it.
(49:17):
No one has to do it.
No one has to do it.
But apparently, per sources, hecould potentially have a breach
of his contract.
No, there's no breach of hiscontract.
He's going to see the processin the video.
He's doing nothing to give upthat money because he knows he
(49:40):
is not getting another contract,no matter what.
After this, he was out of hiswalking boot.
You can see it in the video.
It's still on his leg.
Are you sure that's not anankle monitor?
Yeah, it's pretty high up hisleg.
Yeah, the Browns are fucked.
Yeah, that's sad.
Yeah, the Browns are fucked.
Yeah, that's sad.
(50:02):
One of the worst contracts inNFL history.
But hey, there was an excellenthe could fuck up to.
So you're almost out.
One more year, right, we gotanything else.
We should wrap this up here.
Two more years.
Yeah, chris has got some statsfor us.
What stats do I have?
I don't have any other stats.
(50:22):
What do you mean?
You have your notebook back.
What the hell's going on, chris?
I gave you the stat about roadroad home dogs last week and you
still bet baltimore.
Yeah, because I'm a curse, you.
You convinced me so much that Ipicked Baltimore in my pick-em
pool.
That was stupid.
No, chris picked Baltimorebecause he signs with his best
(50:45):
friend, ryan Clark.
That's why Do you just makeshit up all the time?
Is that how it works?
I know you and Stephen A Smithand Paul Feinbaum are hanging
out.
Even that 70 batch you gotgoing on over there.
What was the chick's name in thescandal?
Joy Taylor, joy Taylor, thankyou.
(51:09):
Yeah, joy Taylor was there withStephen A.
He brought her.
Bradley doesn't have a shot.
Bradley doesn't have 1.5million.
Well, with that peanut butterscandal, apparently, that's not
enough either.
So you're going to need a lotmore.
That was for the hairdresser,not for Joy Kaelin.
Yeah, come on, joe.
Allegedly Sure, I don't want toget sued.
(51:31):
Allegedly no stats.
No, I don't have any.
I'm sorry, I haven't had timeto tear.
Okay, I, no, I don't have any.
I'm sorry, I haven't had timeto care.
Okay, I just got home fromVegas.
We just talked about Saquon'sstats after you came up with
that bullshit pic.
There's your stats.
Do you want to talk about yourVegas trip or no, sure?
What do you want to talk about?
Just the nice people you metoutside of the establishments
(51:55):
you were at.
I was in the establishment.
Oh, I was in the establishment.
Oh, I was in Paris Hotel andCasino just trying to play a
little slot machine at 5.30 inthe morning and was floozy
smoking a cigarette.
Told me I could grab her bootyfor good luck and I told her no,
(52:15):
thank you, please move along.
I don't have any money man thatmove along.
I don't have any money man.
That's fun.
Now how do they let thesepeople in?
It's ridiculous.
In the country or in the casino?
In the casino, it's pretty easy.
You just walk in.
They let everybody in Probablyhadn't left from the night
(52:35):
before, to be fair.
Yeah, I can only imagine.
Never been to Vegas.
I don't have any plans to gosoon.
Kind of check it off eventually.
I feel like it's a fun time youget up early, you see some wild
stuff.
I would love to plan a SharpAction Daily trip out there At
(52:57):
some point during the nextfootball season.
Have fun on a Sunday sitting bya pool watching all eight games
at once.
It sounds nice.
Chris got us with the hotelroom.
