Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And uh, you know, actually, I'll be honest. When you
came in today, Josh, I expected a much more grumpy Josh,
and I didn't get one. And uh, clearly you've moved
past the shenanigans that happened yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
And uh in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, I've resigned myself to this fact that this team
will be lucky to win six or seven games.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
Deshaun Watson sucks. He's done.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
He's never going to ever be even a shadow of
his former self. He's one of the he may be
the worst starting quarterback in the NFL besides Bryce Young
in Carolina.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
He's that bad. He's an incompetent buffoon.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
And the defense, which talked a big game all off season,
they didn't bother to show up either. It was just
an epic disaster. And yeah, the Browns are done. They're
not making the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Listen, I don't think the re and you know this
is coming from a Steeler fan, but I don't think
the refs were doing you guys any favors either. It
just felt like there were a lot of calls that
could have went either way, or maybe a non call.

Speaker 5 (01:02):
Well I'm used to that, I know, but.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
It's just it is you just want to say, like,
can we just get a game where that that's the case,
and then the things that could have not been called
or whatever, could they just not be called for once?
I mean, it's a home game you almost expected on
the road, like what, there were a lot of those
kinds of calls for the Steelers. I thought, for instance,

(01:30):
you know in Atlanta and you know T J. Watt
having his helmet ripped off at the.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Beginning of the game.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Nothing happened.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
It's just like, wait a minute, how did nothing happen there?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
And look, I know you you literally hate the Steelers
with the fire of a thousand sons. I understand that,
but man, a call is a call and missed call,
blown call, whatever. It just felt like it just snowballed
from there. But back to your game, you.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Know at lead and I don't know, well, I don't
know how.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
You stack this up or the way that you take it,
but the Cowboys, you know, I was gonna say, at
least you were beat by a good team. You weren't
beat by a bunch of junk. And then you know,
also would it have been worse if it would have
been the Buccaneers and and uh, you know in midget, man,

(02:22):
I mean, would it have been worse? I think the
answer would be Yeaker.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Mayfield had an absolutely perfect game yesterday. He's kicking ass
in Tampa Bay. I thought Baker was crapped his last
year and a half in Cleveland. I was not sad
to see him go. Little did I know then that
it was just because he was so hurt and they
kept playing him. I was like, well, if he was
really that hurt, they're not going to just keep putting

(02:46):
him in. But no, they kept putting him in, putting
him in, and put him in. Well, Baker's laughing his
way into the playoffs. And what was he He threw
about three hundred yards, four touchdowns, no interceptionsyesterday.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I know, man, that's where In other words, had that
been against the Browns, I feel like it probably would
have hurt worse than say a Cowboys team.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
But but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
At this point, it's almost like almost feel like, you know,
my mother in law is a diehard Browns fans. She's
going back and forth with Jenny yesterday and gosh, man,
it's the same old, same ol.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Every single year. It seems like right now.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
So bizarre, except they're giving him what two hundred and
twenty million or whatever it is, except stupid two hundred
and thirty million. And then he's going against a guy
who got who's got the biggest payday in National Football
League history, sixty million dollars a year and Dak Prescott.
You know, I did hear some some cowboy fans going,

(03:46):
does that mean he's the best? No, that just means
he's got a really good agent and he's at a
top ten quarterback and that's the kind of money they're
commanding right now in the National Football League. I mean,
you could. People made fun all over social media yesterday.
I read you know about what happened with the Steelers, like,
you know, no touchdowns at all, and it's just like, well,

(04:07):
apparently six of the of those field goals was enough. Well,
you can't field goal your way to the super Bowl.
We all know that it's impossible. It's impossible. We were
fortunate yesterday that we ended up on the winning side
of that because our defense, clearly, with the three takeaways,
is the only reason we even stayed in that game.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I didn't see any of your game. I have no
idea how what happened. I haven't even seen a highlight
of your game, unfortunately, But yeah, Boswell's a he's a beast.
Guy's like he's like a road Dotton two. So he's
got that goal for that helps.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
No question one.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
I think he hit a fifty seven or fifty eight
yard or to start it all. And then he just
he was perfect yesterday. He hit everyone he tried.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
I'm just so good.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then the Bengals, I didn't even I flipped over
once and then flip back. But it looks like they,
you know, their their typical slow start too, so I
don't know whether it's.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
More than that with them.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
There was something this whole Chamar Chase, that guy, I'm
so sick of these pre Madonna wide receivers.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
He's like the ab Now he's the new ab Is.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
He's like the Jamar Chase. Is this like he wants
more money. He didn't hardly practice at all. He didn't
do anything in the offseason. He just bitched about his
contract and want more money. And he's the best Bengals fans.
You got big worries, you got big problems. That wasn't
good what we saw yesterday out of Cincinnati and I'm

(05:30):
tired of hearing about well they always start slow.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well that was the narrative. I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
I know that is the narrative, and that's what they're
going to go on. But I think there's deeper issues there.
I think there's a lack of cohesion amongst that team
because of all the infighting. And I think there's some
guys that are getting really sick and tired of hearing
about Jamar Chase's contract over and over and over and
uh yeah, And I can tell you, for instance, going

(05:56):
back to the Browns game, I think there's a lot
of people in the Browns that are fed up with
Deshawn's by because at one point he reached up for
Wyatt Teller, our guard, to help him up. Why turn
around turn his back on like, get your ass up
on your own, boy? Whoah, Like dude, just the frustration
of realizing that that guy's making fourth five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten times more than you.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Will through you as a liar career as a lineman.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, and he and he's mister, he can't even complete
a pass like that would make me, that would drive
me insane, That would drive me absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
So as a quarterback bringing in that kind of money,
do you insult your lineman by spiffing him somehow? I mean,
for instance, Jerome Bettis would buy whenever he would have
what was it his season when he would have a
thousand I can't remember what this is, he would buy
his lineman, but Rolex, like Rolex something which clearly I

(06:56):
don't know. And that was, however, many years ago, so
that now you know, five thousand dollars Rolex.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm sure the lineman are like, oh.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well, thanks for the yeah, you know, mister two hundred
and thirty million.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
You know, or whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
But do you would you insult him if he's going, hey,
I'm gonna personally bonus you guys.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
If I can now, he wouldn't do that. Deshaun Watson's
very selfish person.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
He's not gonna well then he's gonna get his ass
sacked all year.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
And was hitting a lot yesterday, a lot if you
thought that was a lot.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
They if they all got together, or even a couple
of them and started going, yeah, well we're gonna let
a couple.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Of people don't think I know, I know, it's the NFL.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
You can't you can't get a guy killed doing that.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh I know, but say you're kind of half you're
slowing him down. In other words, you're not letting a
guy go full throttle. But man, if you think for
a second, those guys take a play off because they
are disgruntled with the guy behind him. If you don't
think that happens in the NFL, I know, you know,
though you know, you know, I'm sure it happens. And

(08:00):
when I say take a playoff again, I don't mean
let him come through just you know, unopposed. But yeah,
you got to be thinking that if you're a quarterback, right,
I mean you have to think that your guys. I
don't know, man, I would be willing to break off
some of my change for in that situation if I
were a quarterback to try to make sure everybody likes

(08:22):
me that's in front of me, that's helping give it.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
I think Deshaun Watson is benched by by week five
at minimum.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Well he keeps doing what he did yesterday, I don't
even know if it'll take till week five. Who do
they have got?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
We got?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
We gotta go to Jacksonville next week, and that's not
going to be easy.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I mean who's behind him?

Speaker 5 (08:43):
But yeah, oh, what do you mean, who's up next?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Who's up? Who's the who's next man up? If he
gets benished?

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Oh, Jameis Winston is our backup. He's boomer. He's boom
or bust though.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
He's the guy who will throw thirty five touchdowns in
a year and also throw thirty interceptions in a year.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
So you Brett Farvish, yes, if you will.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, but Brett Favre wasn't it with that reckless as
Jamis is.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
That's crazy because Brett farv used to He'd be like falling,
he'd almost be on the ground and still somehow throwing
it just up in the air or whatever.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
I look around at all these quarterbacks and it's just
like and then when we do cut him, and we're
going to have to cut with Watson, there's no I mean,
they can say, well the cap HiT's too great. Well,
he's not gonna you're not going to pay a guy
to two hundred and thirty million dollars a ride Pine,
You're going to take a seventy million dollar cap hit
next year. Basically we won't be able to sign any

(09:41):
free agents at all because all of our CAP's going
to be eaten up when.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
We cut him.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, because eventually they are going to cut him. I
do not see him playing out till twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well maybe somehow he turns the corner, just trying to
stay pun Well.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
He's got about one game left to do it. Because
the fan bases are.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
White up on him.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
That part is we turn on him and I loathe him,
but I it's it's just.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Is it because of the scheme? Is it because of
no protection? Is it because he's lacking talent? Is it
because he's not trying?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
I know it's because he's just he's he's done.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
He lost it.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
They gave him too much money for what he really
can offer and bring. He's not worth He's talking fifteen million.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I wanted to hear what you thought. That's all.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, he isn't worth fifteen million a year. He's not
worth five million a year. At this point, he is
a hollow shell of himself.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Right.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Switching gears to college football and the Buckeyes the shutout.
I got tired of seeing over the weekend people taking
them to task. I don't even understand where that came from.
I mean, a fifty six to nothing score, and people
were saying, who was taking them?

Speaker 5 (10:49):
The time?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I saw different people saying all kinds.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Of stupid stuff about them, and it probably was and
I didn't do the research, but it was probably a
lot of Michigan fans who were salty over there. She
lacking from Texas, which was odd. That was glorious. That
was fun to watch, I'll be.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Honest, watching the Horns shove their horn ride up Michigan's ass.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
That was great. That was fabulous. One thing I don't agree.
How did Texas ended up? How did they leapfrog us?
How did Georgia stay where they were?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
They played in? Nobody?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, Texas, I'm not surprisingly progress. That's the best win
of the year so far.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
What about GEORGI yeah, what about Georgia? That that made
no sense to me. How we got leapfrogged and Georgia
stayed where they're at and we skunk who we played?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know. It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
It doesn't matter that these all these are eight I
know Ohio State's going to be in the playoff.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I just oh, yeah, but that's all.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
They get to the playoffs and then we'll settle business there.
I did The only poll that matters is the final one.
When we're holding the national title. That's the only one
that matters.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's beautiful. I hope that that comes to fruition. We
have a bye this coming week. I know, it's like
I had to do. I had a double on triple
check that. I'm like, do we really have a buye?
He just got started. I was like, wait a minute,
that's that's almost not fair. I mean, you're that's supposed
to be towards the middle obviously, and it's not. So
we have a bye and then we have the Marshall

(12:19):
Thundering Herd on the twenty first.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
That game was announced.

Speaker 5 (12:22):
It will be a noon game, so it is a
Neon Game of the Year.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I gotta be honest. I didn't watch a single snap
of the Ohio State game.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Really.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
My son and I had a wrestling pay per view
aw wrestling pay per view to watch so that you had.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Recorded or whatever.

Speaker 5 (12:37):
Well, no, I spent fifty dollars to watch it.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Oh that's right, seven thirty. I'm sorry, I forgot. We
played late.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Well, yeah, it was basically yes, So I didn't get
to see and the and the wrestling events started at seven,
So it was like from seven to almost midnight.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Let's hear.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Let's hear what Bill has to say about the football rankings.
Who's going to try to somehow make sense of this?

Speaker 5 (13:00):
Bill?

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
I'm just wondering how Penn State moved up after the
way they look to get it. I don't know why
they have pulls the first half of the season, to
be honest, because nobody really for the most part, plays
anybody any you know, I don't get it, but I
don't pay much attention to it. It'll probably the eighth
or tenth week.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Of the season, right, But when you see something that
is a head scratcher, and you pointed out in Penn
State thing, I forgot about that. But I'm going, well,
how did Texas leapfrog us when in Georgia state number?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Well, how'd that happen?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
You know?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
I don't I don't get that.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
But if we're going to go off of that, Texas
should have went to number one then and then if
you put it, if you put Georgia ahead of us,
then at two and then we're three.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
Okay, I don't know you'd have an argument then far over.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
The first two weeks, Texas by far as the team
that impresses me the most. They quinn Ewers is the
real deal. Look at that we lost another Buckeye quarterback
that transferred is probably gonna go do something special.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Did you watch the game bill? By the way, did
you watch Michigan Texas?

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Yeah, oh yeah yeah. I had a metal orgasm over
that one.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah. It was good.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
It was. It was good.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
It really was to watch that and to see them
just completely struggle and everyone's like.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh, you're missing your your MVP and Connor Stallions. Yeah,
they miss.

Speaker 6 (14:18):
If they would have made it better, was it Harball
was still there?

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's it is.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Uh, there's no question that it would have been more
interesting or more fun to watch.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
We've gotten all new players, we've got a new coach.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
We're gonna we just need.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Time to gel. Now listen, could Michigan do that?

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Sure? But do I buy that? No, Because they're gonna
get that.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
They're gonna get I was.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Going to say they're gonna get their doors blown off
by USC in two weeks.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's gonna be fun too. Yeah. I can't wait for
that to.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Get their doors blown off by USC.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Bill, Thanks brother, thank you for listening. Hey, Matt, welcome
to the show.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Hey, so two things to your your questions here with
regards to Georgia remaining number one. Yeah, even though Clemson
is not Clemson from five years ago, Georgia did be
Clemson very handily in Week one.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Number two, Every Division one college football team this country
has two bye weeks because there is an essence an
extra week of fall. Labor Day was virtually as early
as it could be on the calendar of September. Second,
it thinks, yeah, I got November the twenty ninth. Every
team has two bye weeks.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Right, and Matt, who who is your college team? You
better not say Georgia out of state? Okay, good, all right,
that's good. I don't want anybody trying to make sense
of Georgia if it's a Georgia fan.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
I don't want to have a problem with Georgia being
stayed number one.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
And he makes a great point about the Clemson thing. No,
that's not the Clemson that we know from twenty sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,
but it's still Clemson. And the fact is Georgia is
so super talented Matt, thanks so super talented.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Like their recruiting class is sick this year.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
They've got they've got first round draft picks, lootered all
over that. I'm okay with that. I would have been
okay if Texas has been one again. I don't care
if we're three all year long.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Right, right right. I mean, it's just a it's.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's almost like it we've unfortunately become almost complacent or
expecting it.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
And I still it still still irks me. There's no question.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
It still irks me when I see that and I go,
come on, how did that happen?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
And I know in the scheme of things, it doesn't
really matter.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
Sure, it's just one.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Of those things that just irritated you.

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Just put you know. That's why I tell you what.
I have a buddy, I told, I said, I think there.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
I really do think we are headed for an Ohio
State Texas national title game.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
That'll be that would be a really good one. But
we got a lot of fun
