Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
NFL Cover Zero with Matt Jones and Drew Franklin is
a production of the NFL and iHeart podcast. It's episode
two of the NFL Cover zero podcast. We welcome all
the folks who listen to episode one or who just

(00:30):
came upon this one as their first one. Please like
and subscribe, maybe give us a rating, say something really nice.
It's kind of exciting, Drew, to have new listeners who
are not from where we're from. We're both from Kentucky. Like,
I just gotta follow on Instagram from the Chiefs fans
of Nashville, which is very exciting, very specific. So if

(00:53):
I ever go to Nashville and I want to watch
a Chiefs game, I will go where those people say,
you know, that's drivable. We could go meet up with
the Chiefs fans of Nashville if we ever need to. Yeah,
I like the Chiefs fans of Nashville. I mean, I'd
say Baby Taylor Swift's relatives would be part of it.
But so thank you to all those folks. You can
follow us. He's Drew Franklin KSR on Instagram. I'm KY

(01:16):
Sports Radio, So feel free to join us now. Episode
one went really well. We did the rankability or actually
watchability of all the teams. But you know there are
actually games. Now this isn't theoretical. We are recording this
on Wednesday afternoon. Games start tomorrow night. Are you feeling
the excitement? Oh, I'm very excited.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I mean I watched a lot of the preseason, probably
more of the preseason than the average viewer, got a
good little taste of it. But now I'm ready for
the real thing. And as always, we have some marquees
and games right out of the gate that I watch
more of.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
The preseason this year than every preseason in my life combined,
which is I watched three quarters of a game. Because
I don't watch the preseason. I always turned on the
NFL Hall of Fame game, get excited and then say
this is awful. But I did watch. I did watch
some of it for the local announcers, etc. But now
I'm ready for the regular games. I do have to

(02:12):
ask you, I don't know this about you. Do you
do fantasy football? Like you do you do the Hey,
I got Lamar Jackson at quarterback? Like do you do this?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I don't. And there's a story ten years ago I
did like we got together, like in a group. We
did the draft. It was a thing. I had an
incredible year. I might have lost like one week. A
lot of it was luck. I think I had, Like
I think a lot of it's luck. Well, I think
I had a running back. Maybe like it so far back.
Maybe it was like when Steven Johnson was first put
on the map. Whatever the case, Steven Jackson, excuse me,

(02:42):
But at the end of the season, I'm a runaway winner.
And the commissioner says, no one paid at the beginning
of the year, but you and I had to go
person by person and be like, hey, you owe me
fifty bucks from September every and no, and I got
like three of the guys. But it completely soured me
on fantasy and I haven't done it since.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
You know, one of our fellow NFL podcasters, Bobby Bones,
who I think does a podcast with the NFL with Castle,
he invited me to his league and it was like him,
eight of his college friends and me, and they had
a draft. They drafted every year and they used it
like a lot of college friends would do. They talk
trash to each other, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
And I felt bad because I didn't know any of
these people, So I did like a whole year where
again I never met any of them.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
I think I came in like fourth or something in
the league.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
And then the next year it came for the draft,
and I was like, I feel like I really didn't participate.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
So I just came in and was like, you know,
you suck. But to these strangers, you know what, like yeah,
you can do that because you drive up a nasty car.
And I don't think they liked it. I don't think
his friends thought that I should be doing that since
I didn't know him. So I didn't get an invite
again for the next year. So I did two years

(03:56):
and then I got cut from the league. That's what
I miss is the trash talk every week. You know.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Now it's become this big thing to have a bet.
I'm just still so mad from Molly ten years ago
and the commissioner didn't collect the money that I'm boycotting it.
So I don't do it.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
So we're not in it, which means we won't be
like during the year talking about Who's the two things
I never want to hear anybody about talk about their
fantasy team or a hand in poker. Anytime anybody talks
about the two of them, I punch them in the face,
and so we're not going to do that this year
as well. What we are going to do talk about
the games. So I think we got to get started

(04:33):
Thursday Night Football. You're going to have Mike Turco and
Chris Collinsworth live from the City of Brotherly Love, where
they'll give out their gaudy Super Bowl rings. It is
the Eagles and the Cowboys. You know, normally this would
be a celebration of Philadelphia. We've seen over the years
though sometimes the team that is in this game will

(04:53):
get upset. But the Cowboys seem like such a rudderless
shift that I feel like this is almost a gimme
for the Eagles. Is there any reason I'm excited about
the game? But is there any reason it has any
chance of being close? I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I think the spreads will high, it's like eight and
a half. But the Cowboys, we all know the recent
news not a great pr situation for the Cowboys as
they come into Game one of the new season. But
just as a neutral observer of the NFL, I love
a good rivalry game right here, even if I don't
think it's going to be very close. I love that
we have Philadelphia Dallas first one up on our TV,

(05:29):
whatever you think of it. That's one of the better
rivalries in the league.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
So I like Thursday Night Football because the NFL always
for the first game, they always bring a concert in,
but it's like, it's usually not a huge star. They
save those for later on, so they'll go, you know,
they'll come in, they'll be like, not for the game,
ninety eight degrees, and then they come out and sing,

(05:52):
I swear, and people get really excited about it. But
it's week one, so they can just kind of give
you anything and you'll you'll be excited saying anything about
Michael Parsons. Yeah, exactly. Every year there's all one massive
upset in Week one happens almost every season. Any chance

(06:13):
this is the one? I mean, is there any chance
that this we get a Cowboys saying Jerry Jones middle
fingers up, shirt off in the center of the field
getting a victory.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I won't ride off an upset at all. That's why
I think the spreads a little high rivalry game Game one.
We don't know a lot about these teams, Eagles secondary,
what can they be? Maybe Deck goes back to his
best form, has a great year, or the real scenario,
the Cowboys win this, get all their hopes up, and
they fizzle out as a year.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
It goes on the Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
That would be the most likely. Feel there's only two.
There are two sort of results. I'm looking for. One
Cowboys win. Philadelphia fans. I like to see them frustrated,
but you know they can't get that. First, they just
won the Super Bowl, and they won a.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Few years ago with Nick Foles, so you can't really
complain if you're the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
So an upset it's cool.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
But second, I want the Cowboys to lose Blake thirty
five because I have to tell you I've said on
these here airwaves before, nothing is more entertaining than a
Cowboys postgame show when it's over.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Because there's two radio stations. There's one that's official Cowboys Radio,
and they'll come on and they'll go you know, I
think if Dak just starts seeing the receiver better, he's
gonna be able to oh, next week, Ceedee Lamb will
be more integrated in the offense. And then you go
to the other one and they're like.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Jay Jones needs to be st off on a raft
like the two combinations.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's so great how much they diverge from each other.
I like to see a big route for late Thursday night,
falling asleep to a Randing postgame show at we root for.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
The star in my household. It's not the same as
your wife. Well, I grew up a Cowboys fan because
the Titans literally didn't exist, and then they being from
Western Kentucky, when a pro team pops up an hour
from your house, you're allowed to pick up a new team.
But I haven't forgotten. When I was a child, my
bedroom was decorated in the Cowboys stuff, so I haven't
forgotten that I still root for them. You as a
secondary I.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Remember you used to walk around like in Alvin Harper
socks and nothing else at the barns sometimes and I
was like, what are you doing? Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I had this picture above my bed. It was obviously photoshop,
but it's like Texas Stadium welcomes True Franklin, like my
grandmother found it in some catalog. But a big Cowboys
fan growing up. It just died as time went on.
Liked the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I like the Eagles to win fairly easily, but
I'm looking forward to it. I love Chris collins Worth.
Chris collins Worth to me is kind of the modern
sound of football. I still forget that al Michaels is
not on the game. I think I've said probably fifteen
times Alan Chris. I guess he's now with herb Street

(08:52):
on Amazon, but I miss him. I feel like Al
and Chris they were like good buddies. They both sweater
vested together, and I just I kind of missed them
being on TV. Chris slid I like Mike three.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, everybody likes the Chris collins Worth slide too when
he comes in uh from off screen, So.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It'd be good to see that again. Well, then they
go Friday Night, always a wild card. They're going. They're
in Brazil, sal Pallo, one of the biggest cities in
the world. They're going. I saw today they you know,
we'll go to a foreign country.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Sometimes we forget just to be normal, you know, So
like they would these American journalists would ask the players
they were doing the interviews, and.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
They were like, hey, hey, hey, Travis Kelsey, can you
spell Brazil? And You're like, you don't have to act?

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well could he?

Speaker 1 (09:45):
You don't have to act like you're going to a
mystical land that no one's ever been to. It's just Brazil.
But you get the Chiefs and the Chargers. Did the
NFL hire influencers to go is I is I Speed?
I show speed speed. This would be a big game
for him. This would be a big game for him
if he's going. I believe it's like the announcers are
I show speed, mister Beast, now Michaels and Alex Earl.

(10:10):
That'd get a lot of viewers those three.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
But so it is on YouTube, Yeah, I think so
as a regular yout not YouTube. As I'm saying it,
I'm in my own head, like how does this work?
You just log on YouTube and there it is.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Say you laughed?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's what That's what I'm saying it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I'm just on the YouTube and search football game, like
where where is it?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I got my cooking videos and over here? Then the
the Chiefs Chargers pulled up. I mean I did find
when when Kelsey and Taylor Swift did their podcast, I
got on YouTube and it was just there.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
So that's what will happen with this game too. Yeah,
no no subscription, just who's on the who calls it?
I do. I'm not kidding. I think they have YouTube influence,
and I don't think they're the main announcers. But I
think you can watch a game where like Cay Sanat
just does backflips up and down the field.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I would tune in for that.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I mean, I think, so, do we know who's actually
doing the game.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
I'm trying to pull it up here.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
We'll get Billy O Preud like to. I'd like to
know who who's on it. It's Chiefs in charge. Just
another division game. You know, last year the field got
all messed up. Presumably that will be better.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
So this is a chance to see if the Chiefs
can kind of bounce back from what was a mediocre
regular season last year. I prefer the international games when
I get to wake up at nine am and they're
just on TV. This one, I think we're kind of
maybe an hour off time change. Isn't that crazy. I
don't know what's the Brazil time. I think it's just
an hour off. It's not like the London games where
we get a little early morning you have some information.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Actually, yeah, we got a little Rich Eyesen and Kurt
Warner in Brazil.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Kurt Warner, nice Rich eyes in ESPN network or ESPN
and now NFL and Kurt Warner, right.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
It is YouTube and YouTube TV exclusively.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
And am I right that? Like I show Speed is
in it? In there a YouTube influence with.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Mister beasts Kai Setta. Yes, I haven't read that.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
See you last me.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
They're doing something.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I literally named the only three people I know on
YouTube and they're all there.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
All three of them are involved.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
So as the NFL knows it's audience, they know exactly
who you wanted to see in this game.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I wanted to see Ky Sinnett and I show Speed. Well,
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Grill robe grill as I just pulled it up. What's
a robe grill? I don't know what does that even mean?
Is this robe like where a bathroom is? A person's name?
Four point fifteen million subscribers? Really, what does he do?
Goes to the games to Brazil looking forward to it? Okay, good?
What about Todd Chris la Is he there? Actually he

(12:51):
just got out of prison. He should be there. So
I always wonder, and actually heard a player talk about
this recently. I mean, we consider the travel on the players,
but uh, he was talking about I think they played
a game in Ireland and you have your routine of
your your diet and maybe Ireland doesn't have way you
go out and eat every meal and that they have

(13:11):
to do some Some teams have to like ship entire
you know meal plans to these countries just to get
ready for the MBOs.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
It's got a somba. You have to sambo.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
They have the Mizalas. What was the big World Cup thing.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
They had there? Yeah, yeah, South Africa. That's a different
that's a different continent. Well, World Cup was here, World
Cup was there? Maybe they had them too.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, I think this is the They opened the World
Cup in the stadium in twenty fourteen, So maybe there's
still some some careapern Elia hanging around.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'm excited about it now that I know where to
find it. I know it's on uh It's it's on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Excited about us.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Actually, I won't be able to watch it. I'm going
to uh Red's batting practice that night. They're letting me.
They're letting me a ten batting practice. I'm gonna give
Eli some pointers. Seeh I need a home run since
early July. I'm gonna say tell Eli Dale Cruz gotta
wait on.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
The ball while you're sitting there watching Ellie. Because it's YouTube,
you can be listening I show Speed on your phone
right there behind home plate.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Do you like the Chiefs in this?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
I don't love the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I don't either.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I like the Chiefs, I don't love the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
What's the spread?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
The spread is the three and a half point fam
three and.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
A half points. Yeah. If I were in a bet,
i'd bet the charges it's gonna call. I think I'm
taking the charges. Yeah, against the spread, I would definitely
take the charge. As far as the game, you know,
it feels like whenever there's a premium showcase when the
world is watching, the Chiefs usually step up, and I feel,
you know, yeah, Travis Kelsey, I'll be married to Taylor Swift,

(14:44):
but I Show Speed is going to be there. And
more importantly, Robe Grill and the Taylor Archie, Taylor, Travis
and Patrick are gonna make sure they're ready. So I
will take the Chiefs to win, but Chargers uh to cover.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
The Chiefs also have a big advantage. I feel like
here lately, the NFL's like just put the Chiefs in
the s. Last year they played on every day of
the week Tuesday, Christmas.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, just make it the chief I always put them
on Christmas Thanksgiving, they make them play on Arbor Day.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Uh, that was too far. By the way, the Arbor
Day game was completely unnecessary.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
They're big on If they don't know what else to
do with somebody, just send the Chiefs there and they'll
take care of it. Now throughout our game picks here,
we also don't want to act like there's not news. News.
News happens in the NFL all the time, and Billy,
our producer, is going to come in and give us
in between games some news. So Billy, I have not

(15:40):
followed the headlines. Give me give me our first headline
from from the NFL news.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, here's a piece of news for you, Matt. Today,
Roger Goodell was on The Today Show and he confirmed that.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
He is a Who's on the Who's on the Today Show?

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Roger Goodell.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Day regular host? Is it so Matt Lowers not on
there anymore?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Is this Hoda?

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I think she retired? Didn't she trouble that? I'm behind
on my Today Today's Show? It's not Katie Kuric, it
is hot Deborah Norville anymore? Oh, Jenna Bush isn't she
on it? George W.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm usually watching Morning Savannah Guthrie. Okay, Craig Melvin, I've
never heard of that. Al Roker? Of course, what Al.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Roker's still going?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Good for Al? If I told you Al Roker was
still on there, would you believe it wouldn't good for Al?

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Wow? Who's Craig Melvin? Is that what she said?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
Craig Melvin?

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Never heard of And then who else?

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Carson Daly and Jenna Bush.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Carson Daly is on there.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
He's also the host of the Voice.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Wow. Carson Daily? Is that what happened to Jesse? For me?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Carson's not doing t r L anymore.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I'm not sure to watch anymore Craig Melvin or Carson
Dally on there? Okay, so he was on there? What
did he say?

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (17:03):
He confirmed he's a Swiftie, and then he hinted at
the possibility of Taylor Swift performing at the Super Bowl
halftime show this year, said it was a maybe.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Well, everything's maybe. I guess it feels like she should
do it. I can tell you if you're gonna do it,
this is the year you and your husband will be
off knitting and you know going to pottery classes starting
next year, so I this is the year she should
do it. And then of course if Travis is playing,
he wins the game, they go off into the sunset

(17:36):
and it's she definitely she's.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think it's happening.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
The Internet even found you know, she's all about leaving
the Easter eggs and the nuggets everywhere given hints, and
when she did the Kelsey podcast there was like a
little Lombardi trophy on the shelf and a few other
things that the Internet thinks might have been hints.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
And isn't it also like her number is thirteen, yeah,
and this is his thirteenth year in the.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
NFL number ology. I think she calls it. Yeah, I
saw on that podcast. She also said on that podcast
that she asked Jason Kelsey said what do you do
for fun? And she said sour dough bread mm hmm,
which I think is actually a really good answer because
you know, unlike you all, I still occasionally, you know,

(18:20):
I'm single, so I'll have to meet somebody new.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
And they havebably one of the boring first questions is
what do you do for fun? There's no answer I
can give that doesn't sound like I'm the most boring
person in the world. You know, I watched The Gilded Age.
It's seven hours of radio. I read long walks. Sometimes

(18:44):
when it's crazy, I play golf, but you know, I've
been hurt my back. So if you can answer something
like sour dough bread, that's a unique I mean, are.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
You saying you're gonna still tell his answer? You're gonna
say sour dough bread. That would be bad because I
don't know it. But it would be nice to be
able to have something unique like that. Like who she
said sour dough bread, And I thought, well, that's a
very unique answer, also a very homely answer for a
megastar that can do anything she wants on the planet,
maybe even on other planets. She has so much money,

(19:17):
but she's like, no, I just like to sit at
home and bake. She make a little Yeah she need baked.
I'd like to have a little sour dough in thing, right,
yea with a K.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
What does that mean when you roll it?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, you're you're just needing the bread.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
You're you're just wanting, you.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Getting getting roughed up and ready to be baked.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
All right, Well, good for her. I don't know what
that has to do with this game. But I'm doing Chargers.
Excuse mean charges Cover Chiefs win. You're doing you know,
I'm just gonna go the upset. It's it's episode one
for us of picking games. I'm not gonna sit here
and be the guy picking all chalking.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Let's go Charges in Brazil.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Love it all right, Sunday Night Football. I'm kind of
doing these games in order of my interest in Sunday

(20:13):
Night Football. Ravens Bills, what a great game. Can't believe me?
You can argue, I mean, this is probably the best game.
Once again. They slide Tariko and collinswars back in. They
get all the good stuff now, Lamar Josh Allen, two
most exciting guys in the NFL. Probably the game is
in Buffalo. They started drinking yesterday. It's gonna be It's

(20:38):
gonna be awesome. Plus, my mom is going to be
close to Buffalo at that time. And I'm not gonna
tell you where she is, but let's just say it'll
be one hundred and fifty miles away, Okay, draw a
circle around. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
She said to me, she goes, do you think they'll
be traffic? And I was like not where you are,
one hundred and fifty miles from the state.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
I think you're probably I think you're probably good.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
No one's gonna put you through a table.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
They might be in a different time zone. I think
you're gonna be all right. But I'm excited about this.
Who's more fun for you to watch? Lamar?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Josh Allen. Oh that's tough. I mean when this was announced,
just thank you NFL. The one game off Sunday night,
wrapping up the weekend there before the Monday game, we
have essentially what could be an AFC championship. I got
burned on the Ravens pretty bad last year. I never
make future bets. I hate like just having the receipt
in my count. The last year I bet on the

(21:38):
Ravens to win the Super Bowl. I really thought Lamar
was getting over the hump. They had my guy, Derrick Henry,
even though I want to vomit seeing him in that jersey.
I thought it was their year, and they burned me.
I'm not putting faith in the Ravens again this year.
I think I'm gonna make a futures bet on the Bills.
I'm gonna ride the Bills to get over the hope
somebody's got to get over the hump this season.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
It does don't win this year, it's never gonna happen
for I mean, this is the year. I think it's
it's set up well for him. They've got probably the
best roster. They were the best team I think even
last year, and it just you know, they ended up
losing a game at the end.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
About a week one game with potential implications like.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
This is definitely this is a seating game, sure, first
Sunday night. Yeah, for sure, this is a seating game.
I think for both these teams, they sit there and
they look at how their season ended. Both teams ended
with like a pass dropped that if they won, they
might have thought they'd won the Super Bowl. So I
can't wait for this for this to be the best
game we just so you know, we will go. We're

(22:36):
recording episode three live right after this game is over
on Sunday night, so it'll be in your feed probably
Monday morning when you wake up. I'm gonna take the
I'm gonna take the Bills only because they're at home.
Game is in Baltimore. I would take them.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Baltimore a one and a half point favorite.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Here on the road in Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Really Yeah, but I also liked the Bills. As I
just said, Ravens burn me last year when I believed
in them. I do think Henry is still Dereck Henry
and they're going to be right in the mix at
the end of the year. But even the favorite, I'm
not sure.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
No, Like that doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I mean a lot of people have Ravens as the
number one power ranked team, but I mean, you're going
on the road in.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
The Buffalo at night.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I mean, I guess it won't be cold yet, but still,
that's that's really surprising to me. That's my first They
know something does make it. It's a little fish know something.
What do you think they know the outcome? Derrick Henry
fill in love. He might already be married, Billy. Just
for the record, I don't I have no source. He

(23:41):
probably already married. But uh yeah, it feels like they
might know something. Yeah, but I like the Bill's here,
Bill's here, Okay, Josh seen to marry Josh Hallen Allen
first married game right.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
He married Haley Stanfield. Yeah, Yeah, she's in uh so,
he's a laser focused she's in Sinners right, yep, Yes,
it's crazy. That's a good movie. First, Firson, very great movie.
She's She's I It's first. Josh Allen had to spend
four years his life in Wyoming and so and then
he moves to Buffalo, and then he moves to Buffalo.
You know what, he deserves to be happily married to,
Haley state. This mind has probably.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Blown on these road trips to LA and the thesm
big cities.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
What is this? He goes to New York? What good?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
He wants to play the Jets every week?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
What in New York City? Haley? Can you believe this?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Do you think he goes straight to the Applebe's and
Tom Swift?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
It's exactly right. They got pizza open all not. I
don't know why this much.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
That is what you are going to get used to
all season long. We're just getting started. I'm just telling
you that's what I think. He sounds like, having spent
well meeting in Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
All right. Looking at the Sunday Day games, there's a
lot of matchups that are kind of eh. But the
four thirty game I ranked fourth is Lions and Packers.
For me, I put that fourth as the fourth best
game because I want to see, you know, I think
it's it's Mike, although he may not play. I got
a lot of angry messages one podcast in from people

(25:10):
telling me that Micah did not hurt his F four
F five, It was an L four L five. They
were like, an F four is a plane, an LF
elf an L four is a lumbar injury. So I
apologize to all the spine specialists out there that I
screwed up in episode one.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
We don't claim to be a medical podcast.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
We are an NFL podcast. We're football guys. We don't
know about L four.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Lumbars, but I do big one one with huge implications
though for for us the year goes on, I think
this will be the closest division.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah. I mean this is a but, but this is
a division where I think our teams are gonna drop
it because all the teams are good, are potentially going
to be good. Do you think Michael plays. I would
think you should prise it, right, he's got a when
you have an L four, Yeah, I mean in an
L five.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
I mean he could play if it had just been
his L two or as F two, but being the
F four or you don't want to further risk injuring
that four. Yeah, that's too bingo. Uh No, I think
he sits out. I think he sits out.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, I do too. I think it just adds to
the suspense. I still am gonna take. Well. Actually, we
went to Week one last year in Green Bay and
they lost. They're not gonna lose two years in a
row on Week one. So give me the Packers to
uh to win the game at home. I'm going another
upset pick going Lions. What's the spread? Is it an upset?

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Green Bay's three point favorite? The odds for that division
actually changed with Mike and Allons. We're a favorite to
win now the Packers are. But I'm sticking with the lone.
Why do you like the Lions? I mean, remember lost
both coordinators. I know they're my pick to win the division,
and I think, I mean, this game will go a
long way and winning the division.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Jason back, he was out most of last year. But
you lose two coordinators, you know that's tough. I mean,
you you lose the offensive genius. People talk about Ben
Johnson like he's you know, Todd or McVeigh or Shanahan.
You think they overcome it.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Though, Dan Campbell is the type of dude that'll walk
in and take a cheese head off someone's head and
just take a big bite out of it and spit
it out and kind of get his boys fired up.
So even though those were I mean obviously two of
the best coordinators anywhere last season, I still think their operation.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Will be just fine. Yeah. I mean, he doesn't seem
like an intellect to me to begin with, so I
feel like he's a he's a man. I mean, no
offense to him. He feels like like a man, like
a CEO type more than an exit o guy. So
maybe he could find people who were as good or
close to as good to replace.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
I remember when he kind of debuted on Hard Knocks,
We're getting the first look at him. I remember thinking
this is never gonna win. That's when he went and
then he absolutely turned them around. You know that Metallica
song like staring into the soul of the sea, of
the depths of the abyss and then you look at
it say tackle it in the ass.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
You to click that.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
That was exactly what he said.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I think we leave it absolutely. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't know that's all those exact words, but it was.
It was something but like an SNL character breaking my
character over just giggling at your Dan Campbell.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
I don't think that was exactly what he said, but
it was. It was was paraphrase.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's another one to welcome our new listeners that don't
understand us exactly.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
So lions lie packers, Oh my, uh, Billy, give us
another piece of news now because we can break that
up into the next. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
So this news comes from the Pat McAfee show. Do
you guys watch that at all?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Uh? Only if I'm forced to at a barber shop
familiar with it?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah? Uh?

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Well, Scott Hansen was on the Pat McAfee Joe.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
With that inside and I've been to a barbershopping.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
He said that the NFL Red Zone will contain commercials
in some capacity this year. His new intro, well, somebody
has to pay for this podcast. Seven hours of Red
Zone football starts now.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah. I was amazed they for so long did it
without commercials. I would just ask this, I understand you
gotta have commercials. I wish there was an option though,
where you could still get it without commercial Speaking of that,
do you have our log ins for Red Zone? You
need to ask him for.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
That I don't know if I do. Let's see, we
need to try to get that.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
But anyway, yeah, I I it's sad though, I like
I always thought, what was it, Scott Handsome, Henson, Hanson,
Hanson and then what was the other guy's name? Andrew Ceciliano.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
The fact that they could stand there and not use
the restroom for that long, I was always very impressed. Yeah,
what kind of felt like I was head in this direction
when they emerged. But it does kind of take away
what made it so impressive was you knew exactly what
you're get Red Zone. It was just non stop. Uh
we just assumed they had catheters and we're getting, you know,
fed through a tube there to get through the show,

(30:14):
fed through not the same tube as the cat through.
But I'm not someone that even watched Red Zone, but
I've seen a lot of people there.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Are upsode I love it. You don't watch it?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Well, I get Sunday ticket and then I do YouTube TV.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Multi yeering can't. It has made it hard for me
to consume regular games because I love it. I think
it's the best, I guess one of the best products
any sport has ever come out with. And I'm not
even being a shill for it. I think it's awesome.
I had the direct TV version, so I got Andrew
Ceciliano and I thought he was great. And then last
year I had Scott Hansen. I thought he was great.
I mean, so it won't stop me from watching it,

(30:51):
but I you know, it's a little bumm here. It's
a little bit of a bummer. It's kind of the
last thing where commercials hadn't. Oh yeah, I would subscribe in.
I'm just kidding, my go ahead.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I would subscribe no check in on it. But I
got my routine main TV tight with sound in the
side TV with four other games on Sunday ticket and
that I can rotate. That's kind of every Sunday. You
can expect that red zone, it's all. It was just
a little too fast paced time it was. It's part
of the reason I can't sleep at night. It's because
of the red zone. I was so used to used

(31:22):
to it. Well, you know, the now they have a
commercial break.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
And as somebody who's done a lot of radio, when
I when I do, you know, I host an ESPN
Sunday morning NFL preview show, and sometimes you know, you
try to use the restaurant during the break. One time
a couple of years ago, I jumped up there like
a minute left, and I was like, I have to
use the restaurant, and I ran and I tripped over
the cord and hit my head on the couch. So

(31:52):
then I come back and my head is pounding. I've
cut it. We've got like a little string of blood going.
I'm like, it's sunny money with Matt Meyern. You have
to get through, so I, you know, hey and them
having a bathroom break. Gotta be careful.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
He said they're not going to miss a touchdown. Does
that mean they're gonna look at every game and be like, okay,
they're all on the other Because I don't want to
miss live. That's the point of it, your bang bang bank.
You've always missed some Live.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Like they'll come back and and uh yeah, they give
you that you're on one and then sometimes they'll break in.
So I think it's a great product. Uh the commercials
are a bummer, but it won't ruin it for me,
all right. My next one is Steelers Jets, not because
the game will be great, but the whole Aaron Rodgers, Uh,

(32:41):
you know, justin fields. Although I feel like Justin Fields
has got to be like, you know, I played for
them last year. I think you're the first person to
mention him. This one seems to care that it's the
different for both. It's all Aaron Rodgers. I will be
watching and booing Aaron Rodgers. I'm gonna boo Aaron Rodgers.

(33:01):
We gonna have him as a guest on the podcast,
and I would just booing the whole time. So I'm
all in on the Jets this week.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
He's got a running back with the American flag and
just recreate the whole interest, right like this, Yeah, my
first big New York entrance didn't work. Let me try
it again.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
And so you're saying Justin Fields, I'm on an NFL podcast, right,
He's going back to that Stadium's kind of has to
do that.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, golla, just replay it all over, although he might
have some bad memories from that. But you're a Jets fan.
You just got to be like this guy.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
They have to like I you're a Jets fan if
he comes in and then plays well and beat you.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Especially if that I just mean seeing him period. You
gotta have negative feelings even though bad circumstances and injury.
It did not work there. If he comes back and
plays well, and you know, Pittsburgh has a great he
has a great game, leads Pittsburgh do a big win,
that's of course, that's even worse.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
You ever been to a game at that stadium. I
have Monday Night football. Yeah, I was at WrestleMania there.
I've told his story in other outlets. But the New
Jersey Trains system shut down. They didn't Somebody did not
plan that ninety five thousand people would be trying to
leave WrestleMania, and I don't know if you remember this.
People got stuck in the parking lot. But I loved

(34:17):
it because I think it was the closest that if
the zombie apocalypse ever comes, what's it going to be like?
The Metal Lands parking lot that night after WrestleMania, because
people were physically assaulting each other trying to get in
cabs and ubers. And as we drove away, I look
back and I was like, it's mad Max, you know,

(34:37):
when they're all on the car and there's axes. So
I've never been to Medallands outside of that scenario. So
I want to go to a game this year. I'm
hoping the NFL will send us just so I could
have a better experience of that entire thing.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
I also had a very unique experience there. We were
going to Monday night football and I had it, four
of us, and I was in charge of the tickets.
But I was trying to wait till the last minute
because they're all coming down. So I'm on the train
looking at tickets and I lose service and I think, oh,
I'm starting to cut this a little close. We get
to the stadium, I buy them outside the stadium, walk
right up to the gate, scan in four tickets. All good,

(35:12):
We're inside. We get to our seat. The guy I
bought him from had been scanning in at another part
of the stadium. We both get to our seats. We
both have the same ticket. He even says, these are
my season tickets. I show him my money's gone. He
shows he got my money, and he's like, well, they're
yours now. I guess. He ends up buying me a
beer because we think it's so crazy. We both get
in on.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
The same so he was gonna not.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
He was sitting at a bar with his best friend
waiting to see if the tickets would sell. I mean
We waited till like fifteen minutes forer kickoff, So they
just get up from the bar, walk over and we
entered at the same time and get to the seats.
But after he saw that he had gotten my money
and I'd paid, we just laughed it off and he
just kind of wandered around our section. He'd come over
a little bit and squeeze in. But that was my
one met life experience.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
We can go to a Jets or Giants game so
that we each have a different interaction with the Meadowlands.
It's not even what it's called anymore.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Thanks I called them just in general, it's the middle Leans.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Who you like in this one? I'm I will not
pick the Steelers out of principle, so I'm gonna take
the Jets, and which is a shame because I kind
of like the Steelers before this, but I will not
root for them as long as he's on the team,
So I'll take the Jets.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
Remember episode one, we ranked teams on watchability. I had
Pittsburgh get number thirty two. Not a big Steelers guy
over here, are you taking the Jets? I'm gonna pick Steelers.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Oh, come on.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
As much as I don't want to see it. I
just think the Jets are that bat. I don't know
that a Rod's gonna light him up and have a
big game. I think he's just a little too over
the hill. But Steelers win and cover it all.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Right, Now, so every week I'll do the Big five,
so that we're my big five. Now, let's do the
sort of second tier. Yeah, I'll watch him. If it's
on Raiders and Pats. Pete Carroll goes back to his
old stomping ground. The Patriots have Drake May got a
new coach, your guy Mike Vrabel, I miss him. It

(37:04):
should be uh. I don't know if this game will
be interesting, but this feels like the kind of game
where the Raiders win and then like in week seven
or eight, the Patriots might be pretty good and you go,
how did that happen? So I kind of like the
Raiders here in sort of a weird one o'clock upset.

(37:25):
There is a guy, however, that does there's a radio
station that's called serious like betting, and you know, they
have like good people regularly during the day. Then sometimes
I like two in the morning, I think they just
let guys in off the street and sometimes I'll be driving,
I'll hear this guy. When I hear his voice, he

(37:45):
has a very distinctive voice. It's like his thing. The
only thing he ever says when he makes his picks
is West Coast team going to the East Coast. They're
gonna be tired. And I've heard that for years. So
when I see one o'clock game, West Coast Team go
to the East, it's just it's a serious XM two
am watch out pitch.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I get it, I get it. I gotta go with
my guy Vrabel, though I want the best for him.
You know, it's one of those it's one of those
breakups like, well, you know, at least at least he
can be happy. I want him to go fund you're
rooting for I am. You know, even when he had
the Titans rolling a little bit, he can read for.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Cal Perry when he went to Arkansas. Well that's what
I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Even when the Titans were rolling, we always knew we
were we were borrowing Rabel from the Patriots. I mean,
he's a he's one of their all time legends. He
was always a Patriot in Titans. So you say him like,
I want him to I want him to. I wanted
to work for him.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Like Kansas fans probably knew at some point Roy Williams
was going to go back to North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Yeah, we enjoyed him, but we always knew that when
that opportunity opened, he would jump at it. Also, Uh,
it's kind of it's not quite Taylor Swift, but you
got Cardi B might be there for Diggs. The Stefan
Diggs debut I enjoyed. On a serious note, I thought
I didn't know they dated. They hate Oh, it's it's
the second biggest relationship in the NFL of entertainment.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
What's uh?

Speaker 2 (39:06):
I mean, I've heard of Cardi B. What what's her
big song?

Speaker 4 (39:09):
Like?

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Give me a Cardi B song that I would know?
What are you laughing at? What do you okay?

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Before you look it up, mister computer, what's the Cardi
B song?

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I mean there's a lot of Okay, we.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Want your name one smarty? Uh?

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Is it appropriate here?

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Go?

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Oh that she does wo yeah, Oh she likes to want.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
I know it stands for other things.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Drip drip, wop up. I think we're starting to see
a little, but I only know what watch the Patriots game,
wop stands for watch our Patriots.

Speaker 4 (39:47):
There you go, it's see.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Don't look it up. That's what it stands. You don't
need to google it.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Am I talking you into the Patriots here? No, I'm
still going around Henderson in the preseason. Oh yeah, so
give me another piece of Well.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
You may have heard that Roger Goodell was on the
Today Show recently. He may comment.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Craig Melvin's on There is good He.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
Made a comment and said that moving to eighteen week
schedule would be a really good move. And not shortly
after that interview, the NFLPA interim executive director David White
told the Associated Press he hasn't had any conversations about
expanding the regular season.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, but the players Association is going to ask for,
you know, something in return, because eight you know, you
add an extra gay that's a lot of money, right,
I mean that's some money for the TV deal and
the players are gonna want more money. I think that's
that's reasonable.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Do you like eighteen games? I mean we used to
be when I was a kid who's fourteen, then sixteen
for a long time. Now it's seventeen eighteen would make sense,
so you'd have the same mount of home and away games,
because right now, you know, you get one more than
the other.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Even though it's been seventeen for a little bit, my
brain still well occasionally when I'm making figure eight and eight,
you know, doing the math on sixteen. So I never
really have gotten all the way in on seventeen. So
let's just make it eighteen for being even would there
still be about a week. I'm never going to complain
about more meaningful NFL games.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
I didn't see that detail. But the current collective bargaining
agreement doesn't end until March of twenty thirty one, so
we still got a one.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
So you gotta My guess is they go to two
preseason games and then eighteen regular season games. That'd be
about the same amount of time. You know, again, when
I was.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
A kid, there were six preseason games, which is crazy
to think about.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Now, I didn't know that that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Well, I hope there's eighteen. But at the same time,
there comes a point where you know, these dudes wear
and tear. We'll start to add, uh.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
You'll have guys up there just in a full cast
trying to finish the year for their team. But I'm
for more football anytime I can have it.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yeah, well who knew Roger? Who knew the Today Show
provide Jenna Bush asked hard questions.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
I guess we need to tune back in.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Well, let's take a break right here, by the way,
I just got a message here, Drew. So for people
don't know that are not regular listeners bars, we own

(42:10):
a sports bar in Lexnon, Kentucky. And and you know
we we closed for a little while and reopened to
kind of revitalize. And one of things we do we
got this system which most people had ten years ago,
but we kind of just got recently where when things
go wrong, we know why. So we just got the
report of orders that are voided, why they were void? Okay?

(42:31):
Can I read? Well?

Speaker 2 (42:33):
That way you can fix what's wrong, right, Like for instance,
one of them server air it was it was it
was entered wrong, so I had to avoid it and
put the right thing, got it. One of them was
food was missing items, Fix that right, okay. One of
them was kitchen is backed up, had to leave. All

(42:55):
those are are reasonable.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
This one this customer, it's I think it's on them.
Customer changed mind. You don't get to change your mind.
And after the food comes out.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
As I said, at what point in the process, are
you three bites.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
In and you change your mind. You can change your
mind while you're ordering, but you cannot like after you've
ordered ten minutes later. You know what I was thinking
about it. I'm glad they didn't do that in front
of me. Mister The customer is always right. Unless you're

(43:36):
being ridiculous, you cannot change your mind.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Imagine being at a nice steakhouse. Here you go, mister
frank with medium rare blue cheese topping, baked potato.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
Oh looks good.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
You don't change your mind. I'll have the spaghetti. Take
that back.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Eat that cost. I didn't like that, so I need
to investigate that more. All right. A couple more mid
tier excitement. Bengals Browns. These two teams that I feel
like they open with each other quite a bit. The
Bengals had some crazy streak where they had lost to
them like a ton and now they've kind of flipped it.
This is one of those games. The Bengals are so

(44:12):
bad at the beginning of the year. I believe they've
lost something like sixty three straight season. I mean, they
are bad the last few years. Can't lose this one.
I know it's in Cleveland, but Cleveland has you know,
my great uncle at quarterback. Right now, Bengals, if they
want to sort of have a flip from the last
couple of years, got to win this game, right you know,

(44:34):
the last week. It's the most pressure any team has
in Week one.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
Yeah, the last few years, the Bengals have kind of
really crippled their playoff chances by losing games their favorite
earlier in the season. This year, they start out with
a couple of winnable games. They absolutely cannot lose Week one, two.
I think Week three, we'll let them have that. But
you got to be two and zero as a Bengals fan.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Last year they ruined everybody's survivor yea by losing the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
I think a year before that, McPherson missed like a
chip shot extra point against the team they should have beaten.
Bengals fans can't be crushed this early. It's the it's
an in state rival, it's Flacco and everything going on
up there. You gotta get it done. Gottro is healthy,
you got the best quarterback wide receiver duo in the
entire league. This has got to be a win for them.

(45:18):
Gotta win, right, absolutely sure, it's a road game, doesn't matter,
you gotta win.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
This, gotta win. I think they will, so I will
take the Bengals. The other mid tier game I have
is forty nine Ers Seahawks, another game they'll have implications
potentially at the beginning of the year. You look at
these two teams, they have two of the easiest schedules
in the league, and really especially the forty nine Ers schedule.
We went over it the other day. I mean, the

(45:45):
forty nine Ers schedule is just absurdly easy, and this,
on paper is like their second hardest game of the season,
and it's the one they open with. If they win this,
watch out there could be a run where I don't
even know if they're that good and they have an
amazing record. Will say the forty nine Ers and Seahawks
play this game at four point thirty nine different weeks

(46:09):
during this season.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Otho, I was just on the loop. They're like an
here you go the forty nine Ers Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Listen lines Packers is your main game. We will now
switch you to forty nine Ers Seahawks will take you out.
Lovefinitely enjoying Matt Verseigian, But I think this will be
a good game. Interesting to see what happens with with
Sam Darnold. Who are you liking this?

Speaker 2 (46:37):
The forty nine Ers receiver room is held together by
the tape right now in band aids. But I'm gonna
take them here. They need to win. I think they're
more of the forty nine Ers we saw in the
Super Bowl a couple of years ago than the team
that went six and eleven and was crippled by injuries
last year. They got to start fresh this year and
get back on the right track after last season. I'm
gonna take them to win. I guess Ricky Piersoon might

(46:59):
be the only receiver that's healthy, but he's a pretty
good one.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
I'm gonna take the Seahawks. I still think the forty
nine is gonna have a great record, but I think
this particular game setting and all this, I think I'll
go with the Seahawks. Billy, it's gonna know. News item.

Speaker 4 (47:12):
Yeah, some big injury news today coming out from Jets
right guard Elijah Vera Tucker. He is out with a
significant arm injury. It looks to be a trice up
injury that will likely hold him out for a significant
time this year. A twenty six year old was a
first round pick in twenty twenty one, and in twenty
twenty two he had the same injury, but on the
opposite arm.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Now that's bad luck.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
That's bad luck.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
So we'll see if.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
That's insane, because you know, you see that sometimes with
like acls, because you end up putting too much weight
on the other one, Right, I wonder if that happens
with triceps.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
In some ways, it's like, well, I've already been through this,
I know the rehab, I know it's exactly what I
have to do.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
But that is crazy to be Elijah Vera Tucker.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Yep, he was just named a captain for the first
times as well too.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah, so he's on the Jets. Same thing to happen
with Aaron Rodgers to me, a different injury, obviously, But
I don't know that I will ever. There's never been
a moment in my life that I was strong enough
to conto play a tricep injury. I'm not sure I've
ever used a tricep. I have one, never put it
through much. Yeah I have one too, but it's been

(48:20):
pretty sleepy.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Most of it's you know, my trapper said, would have
to do something to get You know, is there any
tricep exercise except the one thing where you just like
go backwards? What is this, Mario, That's not That's that's
a different kind of exercept. Isn't that a tricept exercise?

Speaker 1 (48:41):
It? Well, it stinks for him, It stinks for the Jets.
They just always have constant bad luck. Yeah, especially uh
An injury. I mean, the season is about to start
and it's the same injury you've already had on a
different limb. Awful news for him.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
It makes you think about was Rondel Moore freak injury
and back to back preseasons just a few weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
You hate it.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
You're right here at the edge of all the work
you put in and you're gonna have to miss the year.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
If I put thirty two, if I put every team's
right guard in front of you, Wow, what are the
chances you would have any idea who any of them were.
They don't have their jersey on, they're just in normal
street clothes. I give you all thirty two starting right guards.

(49:30):
I would have certainly failed the test.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
I'm trying to think if I could even get four
or I don't think you could get one get the Titans.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
What's his namet Rotsky?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
He's a draft pick, fear and you.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Think you would recognize him? Not in Titan's gear. Yeah, okay,
I'm challenge flag.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
I couldn't even do my own team Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
I don't know that I've ever known a right guard ever.
Come on for any team? Okay again, smarty pants, give
me some right guards of the past.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't have it.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
You didn't send a left guard to knowing you wouldn't
catch me, So you don't know a right guard either,
not one that I would you know recognize?

Speaker 1 (50:14):
What is Quentin Nelson?

Speaker 4 (50:18):
Uh, he's a guard, Ali Marpette, that's my one. He's retired.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
He I thought that wasn't she a lawyer on a
television show at Oh?

Speaker 4 (50:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Sorry that yeah?

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Zach Martin.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Spot Yeah, I couldn't. No, I certainly don't recognize. And
of the people you've named, I've heard of one. Zach Martin,
big Beard cowboy. Yeah, okay, Quintin Nelson said, Quintin Nelson,
were you not listening?

Speaker 2 (50:55):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Is a right guard or see a left guard?

Speaker 4 (50:59):
Now?

Speaker 2 (50:59):
We're getting it now, you're getting I know Quentin Nelson
but said sorry, I popped in my head.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
Would always tell me people don't understand what Quenton Nelson
means to the Colts, and I was like, no, they don't.
Why would anyone understand that? Listen, our guys, it's a
notre dame. I know way too much about Quentin Nelson.
So if he's a right guard, that's one our guy.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Freddy Mager, who covered Kentucky sports with us here in Lexington,
he covered Quentin Nelson's draft. He talked about Quentin Nelson
like Quentin Nelson invented the sport of football. You know,
Danie is like triplets and Danial Loofsky. I think I
had the choice, would have named them all Quinton Nelson.
That should be more like Quentin Nelson. Let's they say
it's all three of them all right, Let's go through

(51:40):
these quick. Cardinals Saints.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Cardinals are I think they're they're set up to have
a good year.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Offense has improved Kyler if he can put quit playing
call of duty, I think can have a good season.
And I think the Saints are gonna suck, So I'm.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Saint stink I'll go to Cardinals, Dolphins, and the Colts.
This is a loser. Their coach gets fired. Got I
just I mean these two are good, good chances for
first coach get fired. Like what if mind me Daniel
if he loses this game at Indianapolis with Daniel Jones
at quarterback's my thing.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I can't pick the Cults with that quarterback situation. I know,
I know the Dolphins aren't exactly knocking on the Super
Bowls door, but I cannot pick Daniel Jones and NF.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
I'll take the Dolphins. Giants at the Commanders, Commanders, buy
a lot. Commanders, you like you think things are gonna
go well for Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
No, I think Daniels he's married to Sierra, right, correct, Yes,
I think the Commanders are gonna come down just a
little bit, but they won't be threatened in this game.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Russell Wilson, I've noticed kind of changed his swag, if
you know, like he now he's like dressing like he's
you know, like he's dressing like Sierra clearly got his closet.
He's like out go the polos and incomes you know, versa.
I don't know what designers are but Versace named name

(53:06):
a designer of.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Choice, they'd be careful. Jackson Dart's stelling all the attention
in that room. I saw a guy tweet it was
a reporter to that guy. I don't know if they're
in the locker room or sideline, but the Giants coach
Stables just went up to Jackson Dart hugged him and said,
I love you.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Who said that?

Speaker 2 (53:20):
The coach Giants coach. So that's not good. If you're
Russell Wilson, you got Dart when people are saying they
when the coach is saying he loves the backup quarterback,
and then you've got Jamis in the corner eating his w's.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
I saw a picture online of somebody of Alex Smith
and Patrick Mahomes and they were like, Russell Wilson and
why does every let me ask what? Why is everybody
think Jackson Dart? Like, why is he supposed to be
so great? He was? He was pretty good at Old Miss,
But remember I mean that offense. You don't make any decisions.
Lane Keffn tells you who you're gonna throw to before
the play, Like, why are people so confident he's gonna

(53:57):
be good?

Speaker 4 (53:58):
I think the report is that he has Aura's.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
He's one of the stars of the Bason. I have
aras too.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
I have to take that vacation for it different one.
If there is such thing as big a star of
a preseason, he was one of them.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
If you look at the Risers, you know everybody does
their stocks after the preseason.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
It's great hair. I don't how much that's playing in
everybody's thing. I think part of it. I think when
you're handsome, people want you to be good.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Got an X in his name, Jackson.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Yeah, I think that helps darkly. I think it's a
really good point. If it was j A. C K.
S O N. I don't think people was worst I
had been, but the seed, but the hair is key.
Handsome get you a long way when when you're a quarterback.
To be honest with you, I kind of want my
quarterback to be handsome. I mean, think about the great
quarter Peyton's the only ugly one, right, I mean, I mean,

(54:49):
no offense to Peyton, but I got big four it.
But like like like Tom Brady, handsome, Aaron Rodgers in
his prime, pre vaccine stuff, handsome Mahmes, handsome, Montana.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Rockets, surgery at one time, but probably Srosburger as the
time went on. I think.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Yeah, no, but in his prime handsome Burrow, Jalen Hurts, handsome,
Jaydon Daniels, uh, Joe Namath.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
So who are the ugly quarterbacks? Well, Peyton, Peyton catching straights?

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Is John Elway good looking?

Speaker 4 (55:28):
I wouldn't say that maker place, I'd say John Elway
was a good looking guy.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
You think, so, yeah, I'm just gonna rank the hottest
quarterbacks here. That's what people want to people want.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
People want to know.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
What about the way back in the day when the
guys looked like they were fifty years old?

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Why a tittle was not the most handsome quarterback in
the world. He played with a horse shoe, he was balled,
He played like with a horse. Stabbler, Tadler stables, my
country coming up TV started, You know, Terry Bradshaw maybe
not eight man handsome. I think there's something to my theory.

(56:07):
So I think Jackson Dart that's partially why people are
are excited about YEP.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
In New York and Brian Daveo loves him.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Jimmy g Well, he hurts because he's too handsome, and
that's not good by the way. I'm a Jimmy G.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Truther.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
I think he's gonna do well with the Ring. As
a matter of fact, let's just go ahead and get
to their game, Rams Texans. I didn't put this as
one of the games. It could have been in the
sort of mid tier games. It's just it's hard for
me to ever get excited about watching the Texans. But
these teams, both these teams could be good.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Yeah, at least the Texans picked to win their division,
even though I might go against that. I like the
Rams here. I think the Texans are due for a
little bit of a come down. AFC South's terrible. I
don't even know if they'll win that division.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm going Rams. Go with Jimmy G.
There's probably he's probably gonna play right. Uh, I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna go with the Rams. Let's do uh Panthers
Jags the Chris Meyers Special. Liam Cohen makes his debut.
I'm excited to w I actually will watch a little
bit of this one, just to say hi to Chris Myers.

(57:27):
Always miss inghim during the offseason.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
I'm gonna go with h I'm gonna say Liam gets
out with w in his first one, give me, give
me the Jags. I'm going with the Liam Cohen experience. Well,
I think he'll be good for Trevor Lawrence and you
have to turn this game on just to see what
they're actually doing with Travis Hunter. Like, I mean, if
they're truly playing in both ways, that's gonna be pretty
insane to watch. You think he's gonna be you think
you will, They'll do it a little bit. I don't

(57:50):
think he can consistently do this for a career, even season,
but I think early on they're gonna try it out.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
It'd be fun to watch. That's what.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
When's the last time you're like, man, I want to
turn on a Jags game. You haven't, But I think
Travis Hunter now has made.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
It to that point. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
My news note here is Travis was listed as the
starting wide receiver but backup corner on the Jags depth
chart that just came out.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Starting wide receiver, back up corner. Yes, so I could
see like they play him at wide receiver a lot
and then doesn't get much action at corner that, but
then but gets enough that so that you're able to
say he plays both Who's the last play. I mean,
I know occasionally they would throw Dion out there at
wide receiver, but not regularly. Has there been a guy
who's the last one. I can't think of anyone to
do what he's trying to do.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
I mean, sure they've put a corner at wide receiver
here and there to try something.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
They would put a receiver in to try to But like.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Listing a guy on offense and defense on your depth chart,
I don't know that happened.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Titans Broncos. I'll let you take the floor.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
I love him, I just I don't have a lot
of faith. Maybe cam Ward can be something special and
have a Daniels Commander's like surprise a year ago, but
I don't think he has the pieces around him outside
of a Calvin Ridley. So I'm going with the Broncos
here on the road, yea one time the Titans aren't
on at one o'clock too, Yeah, four o'clock game.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
This will be on in exactly three percent of the country,
uh beyond in my house. But Broncos. Broncos would be
are the pick for me.

Speaker 2 (59:19):
Spreads eight and a half, though I will say that's.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Funny and the Monday night my Bears make their debut.
JJ McCarthy starts for the Vikings, Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson.
Cale's got all the weapons. Feels like a perfect time
for my team to get this are they're hard destroyed.
I want the Bears to win, but I will pick
the Vikings because it's the kind of game where we

(59:42):
get our hearts broken.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
I'm gonna believe in you. If you won't believe in
your team, I will thank you. I actually believe in
the McCarthy Viking experience, but I say in this first
gay one, it would be too much for him and
Soldier Field eat them up on Monday Night football.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
I love it. I hope you're right. I wish I
could go, actually, but maybe I will go. Why not
just go? Life short? What are you gonna do? I'll go? Yeah?
Uh all right? So those and what any other news items?

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
Uh, there's one more. You guys didn't mention the Bucks
Falcons game and Tampa Bay Bucks right tackle Luke Gettikey
just four year, ninety million dollar extension with fifty million
guaranteed this week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
I forgot to mention.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
By the game, I mean that's for the NFC South.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
You could have it. Maybe I should have mentioned that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Well, that's the thing. You never know if you're going
to get to all your games. Mentioned here who signed
an extension.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Luke Gettikey. It is the right tackle for the Bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
That's really a big news item.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Well, you got to invest in your offensive line.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
You just wanted to say that because you're a Bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:00:41):
Or your ninety the Bucks fan on they winning, You
can't you can't forget the Bucks. Yeah, they're winning. They're
at home.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
Okay, I'll take the Uh it's in Atlanta, but that's
a great start. It's travable. I'm taking Atlanta Hot Lanta. Well,
I think Falcons win another game. That couldn't pay me
to watch, but I will. I'm going to take Atlanta.
What do you got you're going against make or play
right here? Yes, this is Michael Pennix Junior. It's time

(01:01:09):
for him to make his make his nut again. Just
like I picked your Bears, I'll pick Billy's Bucks here.
Even though we're not exactly sure where it is, I
think they'll handle the Atlanta atmosphere. Well, we're actually it's
gonna be somewhere in between. The Orleando obile on the
way all right, so now it is time for our
official let's do it. Let's do our official cover NFL

(01:01:33):
cover zero playoff picks. I'm gonna go first. I'm gonna
do the NFC. Let's start with Philadelphia Eagles will win
the NFC East. In the NFC North, I'll take Green Bay.
In the NFC South, I'm gonna take the Atlanta Falcons,
and then the NFC West. Because of the schedule, I'll
take the forty nine Ers my wild card teams. I'm

(01:01:56):
gonna go with the Commanders as a wildcard team. I'm
coming out of nowhere. The Bears, even though they lose
in Week one, will be one of my wild card teams.
And then I'll take the Rams as the final wildcard team.
Those are gonna be my seven teams. Lions miss the
playoffs for the NFC, give me your NFC.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
I will start with the NFC East with our defending
Super Bowl champs, even though the Commanders will give them
a fight.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
I think the.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Eagles win the NFC East NFC North. This one's gonna
be a little closer. The Packers are favorite favorites that
flipped with the Micah Parsons trade, but I'm sticking with
the Lions. Yes, the Packers will be better with Micah,
but it's still the Lions division. I will go to
the NFC South with Billy here. I will pick your Bucks.
That's probably just because I watched an entire preseason game

(01:02:44):
of the Bucks and they look good beating of my Titans.
But I actually think maker play field in those running
backs will have them winning that division. And in the West,
it's a little torn between the Rams and the forty
nine ers. I'm gonna go with the Rams. DeVante experience
will work well. I don't know what Matthew Stafford will be,
but maybe your guy Jimmy g leads them to the
playoffs and wins its wildcard wild card teams Packers, as

(01:03:07):
I mentioned, they'll be in contention with the Lions, but
won't win the division. Forty nine Ers, I just said,
and then the Commanders. All right, you're going, chalk bet.
I went a little bit off the beaten path, all right,
so I got a bund You don't hear me, all right?
My sound went out over here, So I'm doing okay,
Just make sure let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
I'm gonna go to the AFC Bills win the East
easy in the AFC North Ravens easy. AFC South Jacksonville
Jaguars end up winning the South. Liam Cohen and Trevor
Lawrence surprise everybody and take it. In the AFC West,

(01:03:44):
I'll go with the Chiefs. My wildcard teams are gonna
be the Broncos. I'm gonna go back to the North
and get the Bengals, and then the last one can
go a lot of different ways. I'm gonna say the
Texans even squeeze in and get the last one because
the Titans and Colts are so bad they'll add up
those wins. Those are my wildcard teams. All right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
I got my soundback so I can actually hear myself.
I'm pretty pretty chalky in the AFC. But I'll start
with my upset pick, which you also just picked. I'm
gonna go with Duval in the looking out, both of
us picking Jackson. I just think the Texans they're not
as good as they were a year ago. They're fluky.
They took advantage of a bad division. The Jaguars have
come up. They're gonna take that one. And then East

(01:04:28):
gotta go with the Bills, heavy favorite North going with
the Ravens, sorry, Bengals and then West Chiefs. Also there
my wild cards. I'm gonna do two out of the
West Chargers and Broncos, and then I do have the
Bengals making the playoff as the other wild card.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Neither one of us pick the Patriots. No pack, that's interesting.
And you don't even pick the Texans in the playoffs. No, no, no, no,
had two West teams and the Bengals. All right, there
you go. Okay, every week, we're gonna do a couple
of sort of predictions for the week that we will
keep score of. We'll start with we're gonna try to
do a survivor league. I ran a fifty person celebrity

(01:05:05):
Survivor league las year, and it was over after Week
four because everybody missed so many games Week one. You
look at this Week one slate, there are almost no gimmis.
I mean, trying to just get through. I would tend
to want to pick the Eagles, but I don't want
to be out night one, right like that would be
the worst to be in a survivor league. I very

(01:05:25):
rarely make it past Week one. I'm gonna take the
Broncos over the Titans, but that is gonna be my
That is gonna be my Survivor League team. Now the
rules of this are, once I pick, Drew can't pick
the same team, and then Billy can't pick that one.
Then next week Drew can go first, I'll go last, etc.
So I'm gonna take the Broncos over the Titans as

(01:05:47):
my Survivor League. Of course, I can't use the Broncos
for the rest of the year, Drew, I will let
you go. What do you got.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
I'm gonna take Washington playing the Giants.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
I like that one.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Washington's got a pretty tough schedule if I'm gonna use them.
Let's just go right out of the gate with the
team that I think is gonna pretty tier. Rile, you're
at home, So I'll take the Commander's Week one, all right, Billy.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
Yeah, he took my pick. I'm gonna have to scramble here,
but you guys got me on the Liam Cohen train
a little bit. I'm taking Jacksonville at home.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
I mean, that's a lot of belief. You might be
out right here, Billy. That's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
If Bryce Young can get a done Week one, then
he's made a believer out of me.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Wow. All right, So Billy takes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:30):
None of us picked the Eagles, which is probably I
would say the Eagles are probably gonna be the most
common pick.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
The Eagles. I guess maybe Commanders will be the other
one that'll be the most common picks in this league.

Speaker 2 (01:06:41):
I'll be honest. The thing that deters me from the
Eagles is being Thursday. I don't want to be the
first person eliminated, and then you got a way to
the same with Fridays. So I think it's hard to
pick those those early Thursday games since just embarrassing to
be out before the weekend definitely is.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Then the other thing we want to do is guaranteed touchdown.
So to add a little wrinkle, when Drew picks one,
I'm gonna let you go first this week. When you
pick one, you are picking a person and a position. Okay,
So if you pick a quarterback, then Billy or I
have to pick a running back or a wide receiver

(01:07:16):
and vice versa, and it's score a touchdown. So if
you throw it as a quarterback, that doesn't count. You've
got to actually score it. So going first, you get
to pick the player, and you take the position off
the board. We will tally over the course of the year.
How many people get right? The position thing is an
added wrinkle. I'm counting for purposes of this tight end

(01:07:37):
as a wide receiver. Okay, tight end as a wide receiver.
And if you want to pick a defensive one, here's
what I will say. If you want to pick a
team to score a defensive touchdown, that is also available,
and you get two points if you pick a defense
and they score a touchdown. So there's some value in
reaching out and trying to get a defense. So there
you go. You quarterback, running back, wide receiver, slash, tight

(01:08:01):
end or defense. But defense is worth two points, Drew,
what do you got? Earlier in the show I mentioned
I don't play fantasy. My fantasy is anytime touchdown bets.
I love it. I bet won.

Speaker 2 (01:08:12):
Every single game one o'clock, spray the board. I have
a player in every game, and I already had picked
one out. It's actually I've already bet this and it
was my first NFL bet of the entire season. That's
how much I like this. We're going to Ohio where
Joe Flacco will find in Djoku against the Bengals for touchdown.
So that's a tight end and joke, and it's a
little bit of a long shot. It's plus two point

(01:08:33):
fifty for a touchdown bet. That's some good odds. I
don't trust shot that you could pick anyone and you're
picking the joke going ons listen as the season goes on,
anytime get odds for this my bet.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
This is just a point. This is my life.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
I've already bet it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:48):
It was the first bet I made of the entire
NFL lave.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
You're going with Nadjoku? Buckle up anytime? Touchdowns is what
I do. You all can have your believe, take your
Saquon Barkley's take your Derrick Henry S. Don't want it this, No,
it's not fun picking Saquon Barkley score touchdown. I'm having fun.
Flacco hits an Joku against that Bengals defense.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
By the way, you can only pick a person once
during the year, just for the record, so like you
can't ever pick Nadjoku again. You want to do you
want to waste your Najoku pick right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
I can't stress this enough. I already made the bet.
I bet it before any overs unders any week one
bets I am on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
Flo good all right? Throwing out Billy what do you got.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
I'm not gonna overthink this. Christian McCaffrey scored in sixteen
straight NFL games. It's an NFL record. He's coming back
from injury. I think he's got a score a week one.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Interesting. Yeah, that's I like that pick. Right, So you
got McCaffrey. Well, that leaves me. I can get a
quarterback or I can take a run into defense. Uh
the Unders are pretty good in the first game of
the year. But I'm not gonna take a defense yet.
I'll only do that if I get behind. I'm gonna
take a quarterback. I'm gonna go Jalen Hurts. Right If
if you're giving me a quarterback to take, he's playing

(01:09:56):
against the team, it's not very good. Push pushy, whushy.
Uh So uh, I will take Jalen Hurts with my
pick as well. So there you go. You got Najoku,
McCaffrey and Hurts, And if you want, we could do
Should we do anytime parlay for cover NFL cover zero?

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
I have so many touchdown parlays on Sunday, Well.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
We should do it, Najoku. So I'll tell you what.
If you're a listener to this podcast, if you bet
the Nadjoku McCaffrey hurts touchdown parlay and it wins. You
can be happy. I'm not gonna give you anything because
I don't know how many of you actually listen to this,
so it might be a lot, but you will have
won a lot. I mean that'll probably be know that'll

(01:10:40):
pay very well. Don't you think that'd probably play what
thirty to one? Maybe if you got all three of them? Yeah,
I was trying to pull it up on the flat.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
It's a little harder to do than I imagine, but yeah,
I got I got a bit of a long shot
in there for us, which is definitely gonna hit.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Yeah. So so there you go. That's our that we'll
be keeping that competition. Guys looking forward to it. We
will be uh Sunday night here late at night taping
the next episode. And that was a lot of fun.
I hope everybody feels completely has all the news they

(01:11:11):

were excited but didn't know what to watch now that
they've heard cover zero Okay, Aaron Rodgers is going back to.
