Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, Hey, don't list to play Flurry Sports will save
your day jokes with Sports Inside Zach and Shake they
get it right.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Fuck you.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello and welcome back to the Sports podcast, but more importantly,
welcome to the Halloween episode of the Flurry Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Spooky.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's spooky season, Spooky season in the NFL year as well.
Terrible games. That's kind of the theme of the Spooky season. No, no, like,
we'll get into it maybe with our headlines. Historically terrible week.
Actually the only close game was the Jets and the Bengals.
And was that game good?

Speaker 4 (00:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
No, like, there was nothing good this week. Jake is
still in France. I'm sure he's yucking it up over
there with the French people. That sounds like my absolute nightmare,
so hopefully he enjoys it more than I would.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
But he'll be back next week.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
So Luke is back again this week after informing us
with the NBA season last week, including making sure we
all set our focus on like if you were caring
about the Portland trail Blazers at all, you said it
perfectly one word to describe him as Chauncey Bingo.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
He nailed it.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Yep, Yeah, he's the only thing that has any relevant
with that organization right now. And he's just such an
incredible NBA guy. Guy in the NBA austome player. You know,
it seemed like he was doing something in portant with
the coach and now he might be in jail for
ten years.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, a lot has happened since last week. The NBA
took over headlines, just not in the way that Adam
Silver I think would have hoped. But boy, that just
I think that came out like Tuesday. I think that
came out like right after the show.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
What was that came out after game one? So yeah, Tuesday,
Bro Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, that was insane.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
What I'm gonna say the only thing I'll have to
say about this is why are we bringing up Kevin Garnett?
And I'll leave him out of it. He was at
a poker game where they were also at cool right,
who cares? Like if we is playing poker bad?

Speaker 4 (02:28):
No, I play poker well.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I Like, I think the reality of what it was
is KG might have got ripped off.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Right, imagine being the people who got ripped off piste off.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
He'd be right, and we're naming him as if like
along with the people who did the crimes. Don't throw
a bit now, throw a bit later. If you throw
him in, people are like, be like, I can't believe
Kevin Garnett did this. First off, if we're mad about
Kevin Garnett playing poker for money, let's talk. Let's talk
about this really quick. Didn't even think I was going
to bring this up. Josh Allen hosts poker night at

(03:01):
his house or a team that they call themselves Bills
Mafia does get more on the nose than that.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Interesting. I didn't think about that.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, maybe we're breaking news here.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Maybe we should look into that a little bit in Buffalo,
which I feel like has ties as well.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, that's good on the like on the way up
to like Toronto, that's definitely a stop.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, he didn't deserve MVP last year. Maybe that's tied
in what's with Lamar Jackson being fully healthy and then
ruled out. I don't know, maybe all of this is
tied together.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Yeah. My only thing, Yeah, my only takeaway on this
is the NBA just continues to be the best reality
series in like human history. And then the other thing
that I saw a tweet that's when I wish I
couldve credit I don't know who. I don't remember who
said it, but they said in David Stearn's NBA regarding
Michael Jordan, if he got a call from gambling, they

(03:53):
just send you to go play for the White Sox.
There would be no there would be no investigation.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
No. No. I think that's fair. That's good.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
I mean we could still do that. I think it's
still relevant today. Yeah, fair enough, So NBA, I mean
I feel like I don't. It feels weirdly like the
show Hey thing, obviously to a lesser degree, but it's
like the biggest story is not the sport. And then
now the story's dying down a little bit, dying down fast,

(04:21):
and now well it's left like Luca's not even played,
Like there's nothing really left right now with.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
The NBA, right like the story is kind of shrouded.
How like incredible the first week the NBA has been
like we've had multiple point games, like Giannis is the
first player ever with one hundred points, forty rebounds, like
twenty a sister or whatever. Through the first three games,
Luca is doing incredible things. And I would like to
say that this take out this whole gambling thing. If

(04:52):
you're just looking at as a whole like this is
the best first week probably in NBA history. Lebron James
isn't playing basketball right now, which is incredible too.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, weird, weird how that happens.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Unfortunately, Anthony Edwards is no longer playing basketball for a
while either.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
A lot of a lot of people went down. I'm
not I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'm getting bummed out with injuries across the board, across
every support, also including in the Bummer News. Our friend
Brian Kelly got canned from LSU, which you hate to
see that, You absolutely hate to see that. So Brian
Kelly's been sewing. We've talked about on the show Jake
and I quite a bit. We have a segment called

(05:33):
Bearing the Lead where which we bring up old sports
stories that.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I've been forgotten about.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Brian Kelly showcased himself on there a couple of times
over the years with some interesting tidbits and that people
have been saying, Oh, aren't you happy that Brian Kelly
got fire? You hate that guy, And I'm just here
to say no, I'm bummed out. Yeah, like someone he
has to tuck his tail between his legs. Take fifty

(06:00):
two million dollars to walk away. That's not the Brian
Kelly way, right, that's fair to him. Like, yes, yes,
Brian Kelly did murder a kid at Notre Dame. He
made him go up in that loft to film practice
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
To WNDY.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Every other school was practicing indoors. Brian Kelly needed to
practice outdoors, and he did kill that kid. He did
do that, but like it sure, And we all remember
when he left Notre Dame abruptly texting his all the
players in a mass text two am. In the middle

(06:36):
of that, I like, hey, I'm out. And then the
next morning he did meet with him for eleven minutes.
He gave eleven minutes out of his time to his
team before leaving town. That's great, that's great. People criticize
him for that. People criticize him like we're Packer fans.
Mett Laflour used to coach for him, and he did
invite him. Kelly invited Matt Lafloor and Robert Salah when

(06:58):
they were on his coaching staff over for the party
at his house, and he did. They weren't invited to
the party to partake. He made them shovel outside in
part cars. They didn't know that, but you know, you
gotta pay your dues, and I think Brian Kelly kind
of taught them that. Look how much success they're having
now probably attributed to Brian Kelly. So he did do that.

(07:21):
You know, whatever it is, what it is. He doesn't
subscribe to the fact that players win games, coaches lose
him games. I mean every single time I think Motor
Dame nils Knew Cincinnati whatever has lost over the years,
there was a player to blame. And that's not his
fault whatsoever. So we're mad at him for losing games.

(07:43):
Just listen to what coach had to say. It was
oftentimes DeShawn Kaiser's fault after he passed for like four
hundred yards.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
It was a million other people's faults. It is what
it is.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
It's not his fault that he shoved a coach on
the sideline in twenty fifteen, Luke. Just listen to him.
He was getting close to the sideline, he had to
control the sideline and there could have been a penalty,
according to Brian Kelly, so he had to shove him. Sure,
he's a hero. He did what he had to do.
And yes, Okay, he did cover up a sexual assault

(08:17):
from his Notre Dame players when they raped that freshman
at Saint Mary's. She did kill herself nine days later.
Is that tied to him? No, they asked him about
he said, it's a university matter. It's not his fault,
has nothing to do with him. But there is one
unforgivable sin of Brian Kelly. He did lose back to

(08:42):
back ranked games. Oh yeah, God forbid, he loses three.
We're not even gonna give him a shot to do that.
So Brian Kelly is out at LSU. Brian Kelly does
get paid fifty two plus million dollars to leave, And
I gotta tell you, I don't think this is the
last we've seen a Brian Kelly.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
It is pretty funny that so he got fired this week.
So it kind of felt like, you know, from the
little that I follow it, that it was kind of
in the cards that he was going to get fired
this week after they beat Mississippi State last week two
weeks ago, whenever they beat Mississippi State. No, I'm thinking
of Floria, I'm thinking of Billionnapier.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Never mind, it was the writing was on the wall
that someone was going to get fired if they lost
this game, so he made sure he had a couple
of different camera angles looking at him as he screamed
into the face of one of his coaches and tried
to make him the scapegoat, but unfortunately it did not
work this time.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah, for what it's worth, it seems like Brian Kelly
just like an complete scumbag. And I've talked with this
a lot on these shows where college sports had to
have scumbay coaches, but they need to have fun scumbay coaches.
Brian Kelly is not a Laine Kiffin, He's not a
Rick Patina, He's not a John Caliperry. He is so
much worse than that, and that that sucks because college

(09:59):
coaches are are so much fun when they're scumbags.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
One hundred percent agree college basketball is the best scumbags
that you just absolutely hate them, but they move the needle.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Brian Kelly's pure evil. But I do think.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
If I know anything about Brian Kelly and his character
in the person that I think he is, it feels
like he's about to go coach at Michigan State.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh, he feels like a big ten guy.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
What you have some love that, like he feels Penn
State's open up. I opened up. I don't know if
they're gonna pay him the money. He would be great
for Penn State too. They've sort of had a checkered
pass with coaches, I would say, but Michigan State recently,
other than Izzo, who also again is sort of a villain,
but he's a fun villain. He also shoves players, So

(10:46):
I think that would be fine. I do like it,
so though, I do. Yeah, for sure, I think Brian
Kelly and Izzo together would be nice.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Wombo combo maybe something it's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm calling my shot that'd be great that or maybe
he gets into the NFL.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Let me throw let me throw a wild scenario at
you here. Okay, the Indiana coach, uh, does he go
to anywhere else?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
They there was rumors after that Oregon win, so then
they extended him. So now they gave him so much money?

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Okay, because my line of thinking is Signetti goes somewhere
in Indiana, goes back to being you know, a dog
shit team, and Brian Kelly ends up there in like
two or three years and kind of is you know,
part of the rebuild that never gets rebuilt.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I mean, you could just tie that exact scenario to Nebraska, right.
It sounds like Matt Rule could go to Penn State
and then he would just go to Nebraska and ruin them.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
That'd be right.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
There's also rumors of I can't remember his name, it's
I think it's Marcus something, who took over for him
at Notre Dame. I almost wonder if if he leaves,
it would be such a Notre Dame move to bring
him back. Yeah, they're already villains anyways, right.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
What who was the Who's an order game coach? Maybe
you know with Brian Kelly coach on Mantitaeo. Yeah, okay,
that's okay, that's I'm thinking of that.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, Mantiteo too.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
What I mean, he was the first catfish person in
human history, but we like canceled him for it, which's
the greatest.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Thing I know that that got like the shine that
it should have, and it came out with a Netflix
did the documentary on it and everything. That is still
one of the craziest stories in human history. He dedicated
his life to someone who didn't the season to someone
who didn't exist.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
It.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
It blew my mind at the time, but it's it
just also feels weird where it's like, that's a red flake.
We can't hit him on our football team, right. The
dude's not about ball, right, Let's take everything away from it.
And it did ruin his career. Yes, fine in the NFL,
but he was an animal in college. People forget how
good he was at football. Yeah, yeah, he was crazy

(13:07):
and Peter was up. Schedule is wild for everybody right now.
So even though this isn't a fantasy show, we are
talking about some good football stuff, wrapping up our friend
Brian Kelly, but we're about to talk about the NFL
week that was. Let's let's start with our headline. So
every single week we name the two biggest headlines so

(13:28):
we can look back on the week and remember what
was we remember. It seems like a lifetime ago at
this point, but we remember Jalen Carter spitting during Week
one first play getting tossed out immediately. We remember all
the turf toe in Week two that was there. We
remember a tie in week four. The Ravens were absolutely

(13:49):
dead in Week four. Remember Mark Sanchez getting stabbed, which
seems like more than a month ago, but it was
not somehow, so looking at Week eight, we alluded to
the fact that it was a bad week. I don't
know if this is the story of the week necessarily, Luke,
but it was historically bad. One game on Sunday had

(14:11):
a final score of single digits, like a difference of
single digits, and that's the fewest since nineteen seventy, which
is an insane stat. And the only game that was
close was Joe Flacco losing to Justin Fields, which I
feel like that's the bigger story than even the close games.
I feel like Justin Field's getting called out from his owner,

(14:35):
getting benched and then starting somehow to winning the game,
to telling everybody he was crying in his closet all week. Yep,
it's been such This was Justin Field's week. It was crazy.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I feel like Justin Fields is not getting made fun
of as much as Sam Darnold was when he got model,
Like these Jets quarterbacks just do thing and fine for
Justin Fields, you know, your emotional field, whatever you want.
If that was Sam Donald, he would be getting the
absolute shit kicked out of him right now. The media
would be absolutely destroying him. These Jets quarterbacks just figure
out ways to just outside of the football field to

(15:11):
show that, like this Jets organization is just maybe the
worst in sports man.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I think we were at a different point in time.
I think as well with Sam Donald, I think everyone
understands now how bad Woody Johnson is. Right, I think
Aaron Rodgers really shined a light on that, and then
he just the fact that he got in front of
the camera. It just absolutely buried Justin Fields this week crazy,
even before winning, Everyone's like, you know, like, yes, we

(15:40):
also think justin Field sucks, but you can't do this.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, I said when it was Mike McCauley, or who
was it was the I can't think his natal the
Chargers coach who told Justin Herbert that they're out of
the playoffs even though they weren't to your Really, yeah,
Stealey to the rookie quarterback like that the worst coaching
things ever, one of the worst exect things ever. This
might be up there that everyone knows justin Field sucks.

(16:05):
You guys are owing seven. There's no reason to go
and drag your quarterback right now. And you go and
drag him.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
You paid him, not like you drafted him. It's not
like he hasn't panned out. You've seen everything you need
to see from Justin Fields, and you paid him to
be your franchise quarterback this year and you're surprised, right, Like, Oh,
we would be so much better if he could complete
a path, give him a receiver that's not named Garrett Wilson,
do anything, but it's not his fault. Like, I'm not

(16:31):
going to I'm not gonna blame Brett Fire for throwing
an interception.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Yeah, you get to let the guys be guys.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, he's gonna do what he's got to do. He's
also going to make a great play. I'm not gonna
come in and like be like Brett, let's just be
a pocket quarterback. Let's contain ourselves. Let's just make the
easy throw. Yep, that's stupid. No one, not even Holmgren
did that.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Right.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Just throw your hands up and says he's gonna give
him one, he's gonna get us a couple two.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
You're right, make up for it. He always does.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah, it's kind of what in I mean, this is
more of a conversation for Wednesday Show. As much as
I don't like him, that's kind of what Jordan loves
turning into right.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
He does it much less flashy.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
It feels way more accidental every time everything happens. But
I mean maybe it's a credit to the receivers way
more than anything else. I mean, he's the he's the
laziest most gen Z version of a gunslinger I've ever seen. Right,
things are working out right now.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Right again, what we can talk about on Wednesday. That
game last night was the most like Drew Brees game
I've ever seen anyone play before and have it work out,
which I hate Drew Brees football. So that wasn't very
fun to watch. But yeah, you're right, like he just
goes out and it's not fun, right, It's not like
far was fun to you know, roll on the quarterback
of all time. Yeah, chuck it up in a triple

(17:58):
coverage and you knew it was gonna get picked for you, Like,
what if it happens this time? I know what happened
once every you know, three times, Jordan Love, Like, you
think it's gonna get picked every time. Somehow it doesn't.
You're like, wow, that was kind of cool that that
worked out. That's a really good play by the receiver.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
It's every time even like Colin's worth and people are
like that are finally saying it at least like Romeo
Dobs adjusts the ballock no other there is absolutely zero
reason why Tucker Craft caught that one down the sideline
right other than a push off. But like even with
the push off, like he shouldn't have caught that. Tucker
Craft was incredible, incredible. Gronkowskis right, like you can't tack.

(18:36):
I don't understand how he's that good after the catch,
but y is.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Yeah. I wrote up in and again this is for
a Wednesday show. We'll talk about it on Wednesday. But
in the in the newspaper, I wrote up that for
a story that Tucker Craft is one of the best
tight ends in the league. He might be the best
tight end in the league right now.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
You could argue it, and he's a he's a solid blocker, yep.
And then he doesn't even run good routes. But like
he gets open enough, people still really aren't covering him.
He's faster than what you think. I think, but he's
just getting away with a ton of physical play that
I think is eventually going to get called. But right now,
with the ball in his hands, he's the most untactable

(19:15):
person in the league right now.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah, the best play that the Packers have right now
is throw Tucker Craft the ball into the flat and
let him run.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah yeah, or throw it straight up into the air
and see if he can come down with it. Apparently
right because he was a high school basketball player on
the reservation in South Dakota.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Oh no, man shut out Timberlake.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah yeah, what other headlines do you know?

Speaker 4 (19:37):
The one that I had that. I don't know how
good of a headline this is, but maybe it's kind
of a foreshadowing, forecasting kind of thing that could definitely
have the opportunity not to be a headline, but kind
of feels like as much as I've seen from Chicago
media in my life, just absolutely destroying quarterbacks, like this
week might be the downfall of Cale Williams.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
It's it's certainly starting to look that way. Yeah, I'm
not sure if you I saw people on Twitter coming
at me because they said the Bears suck before the game.
People were believers before this weekend.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, this feels like the the I know, there's
always like that. Every time the Bears drafted quarterback. You
give him right two years, like, oh, you know, they're exciting.
We just michr Bisky. We do with Justin Fields, we
do with Kill Williams. Now, oh, this is exciting. He
has potential, and then you're not getting the results right away,
and then the fans and the media just absolutely destroy
him in their second year. That's what's happening right now

(20:28):
to kid to Kill Williams, that that first domino has fallen.
There's Lewis next week and the week after, Like, it's
gonna be a horrible year for Cale Williams.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is what the Bears do.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
I think they're one of the most talented teams in
the league, but when they string a couple losses together,
they implode like no one's ever seen. It's from within,
it's from the media. Like you pointed out, it's a
beautiful thing. It's one of the most beautiful things in sports.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
And I'm sure the take's gonna go that. Right when
we're coming into the offseason, we were saying, like, Kill
Williams is an incredible spot. He's got Ben Johnson as
a coach, He's got roma do a DJ Mo or
Luther Burdon Cole. Come at all these weapons. That's gonna
be the take now that look at us, all these weapons,
who these weapons aren't what we thought that these weapons were.
But look at you know, look what he can't even
do anything with this. I know, I know the offensive

(21:17):
line has been better, she still hasn't been great. I mean,
Kill Kill Williams decision making is not great. He likes
to hold onto the ball and try to extend things.
But you have to expect that of it out of
a young quarterback, right, But I don't know as a
Packer fan. Is incredible to watch as a football fan,
like I hate Kill Williams, but as just as an
unbiased football fan like you, you guys are just destroying.
He's fine. You know he's not. He's not a top

(21:38):
ten quarterback. I don't think he's a bottom ten quarter
He's fine. You just gotta let him again. It's like justice,
just let him be him.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Right, Yeah, but that's yeah, you know that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
He was also just not Usually you want to magic
quarterback with the city a little bit.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, he's no.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
No, like Joe Burrow would have been incredible Chicago.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah, one hundred percent. He's great for Ohio. Same similar mindset.
But yeah, if I'm waiting for Caleb Williams to be
spotted crying on the spot sideline, because it's gonna happen
and he's gonna get destroyed. Correct, gonna love that tight
end with Tucker Craft that we talked about. I do
think it was National tight End Day on Sunday. I'm

(22:21):
still very much I don't know, mixed feelings about whether
I like the national like these holidays for positions, I
don't know. I do like the thought of the tight
end one though, I just don't like other positions necessarily
adopting it. But it was National tight End Day Sunday.
Tight Ends across the league played out of their mind,
obviously highlighted by Tucker Craft, and I do think it's

(22:44):
becoming like an actual thing, like every single year now
we need to start just betting every single tight end
parlay as we can, as it's betting featured. And for
whatever reason, defensive coordinators aren't understanding that, like, hey, maybe
Chicago's going to throw it to Colston Loveland the first play.
Maybe this is gonna happen, like tonight, Travis Kelsey's gonna
catch a touchdown. It's the day after National tight End Day.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
Yeah, in my my home league, twelve team, twelve team league,
two Fox spots. You so were on tight end twelve
teams we started twenty combined tight ends like everyone was
in on this.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, so obvious, even like Gunner Helm is catching touchdowns, right,
he's rising. Yeah, Charlie Cohler, Yeah, that's the tight end
we were all hoping from Baltimore would catch a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's good, It's great.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Ye got away with stealing one from from George Kittle.
But whatever they both scored.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
They did.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
If I assume George Kittles scored on every single one
of these days, I.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
Would imagine Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
If not, like, I don't know, I feel like that
would be the sign of the end for him. They
would have to That just means he's dying or something.
I don't know, But yeah, I do think National tight
End Day was a great It was good performances.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Take on National tight End Day, sure, And I don't
know how popular take this is. So I want to
preface this by saying I love the tight end position.
I think they're some of the most fun players in football.
I think they're as athletic as any player in football.
The position as a whole. I should say I would
be I like the idea of national titand day. I
would be fine if I went the rest of my
life without hearing the words National tight End Day again.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at with the whole position,
holidays things. I hate that last week was the running
back one that you're trying too hard for no reason.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
What I like is making tight end cool.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Sure, this era is undoubtedly done right, but people are
trying to be tight ends now. Before it's like, okay,
failed lineman, I can become a tight end and you
know vice versa. Now it's like tight ends a featured
position in football. They're starting to get paid like a
futured position in football, and they're bringing attention to it.
So I love the way it was started. But to

(24:54):
your point, I get it.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Let me know.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Let me know each year, like hey, this is the
week for that. We're all going to celebrate it a
little bit, but you don't need to talk about it
every drive.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
National tight End Day has been talked to more than Halloween.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Let's just yeah, I mean, yeah, we don't need to
be like circling players beforehand. It's like, uh, you know,
he started a national tight end day. Let's see if
he gets one here, Like, I don't know, we can
bring it up after it happens. Maybe maybe it's a
cool little thing and then at the end of the
day we can tally up all the top touchdowns or something. Yeah, yeah,

(25:34):
little little weird anything else of a big takeaway?

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Uh, maybe to get your thoughts on this one, Mike McDaniel,
save a job this week?

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Uh they are playing on Thursday, right yeah, so they
do have a long week, so if they lose, maybe
there's still a chance to do something.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
But he needs a good showing on Thursday.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I guess I think they're just gonna wait till the
end of the year regardless or does.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
This or does this game because this is this is
like one of the weirder games of the year, right too,
with throws four touchdowns against Falcons, look like they should
run for four hundred yards and John Robinson had like
ten rushing yards or whatever it was. Is this more
on the Falcons?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I think so? First off, Kirk Cousins proved he is done. Yeah,
Like if that was if we were wondering whatsoever could
Kirk Cousins get traded before the deadline.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
No, absolutely not. He has checked out, yep.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
But the Falcons defense has been good except for against
the Dolphins and the Panthers.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Crazy.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, they're the most weird team in the NFL. I
can't project them. They're the new Saints to me.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
So it probably has to do with them. But Tua
was also coming into the game sick and his eye
was swollen shut some kind of attributing it to that.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
That's fair. He just he's out there just we'll throw
it somewhere, not having any any reason to throw it anywhere,
just kind of like what he does. Now. Maybe he's
just he wasn't thinking as much.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Maybe maybe I think it's a fluke. But who do
they play on Thursday?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
They play the Baltimore Ravens Miami, Baltimore at Miami.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Probably return of Lamar, Yeah, Lamar playing in Florida. He's
gonna go for five touchdowns.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, it's a home game for Lamar.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the Dolphins are gonna
get cooked.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Yeah. The only other thing that I had that was
that I was really excited to see was Joe Milton
throwing dots.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
I fucking love Joe Milton.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Man, I love it except where I really could have
used a Dak Prescott touchdown in several leagues. But Joe
Milton is just electric.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
I picture that, and I think Dak's fine. You know,
I'm not a Dak fan at being a Packer fan.
I think he's a fine quarterback. You know. I don't
want to ever wane to wish him on a game.
I want to see Joe Milton throwing seventy yard bombs
at George Pickens.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yes, yeah, that would be. Yeah, George Pickens is. George
Pickens is great too. Joe Milton like every time he
steps down the field that you know, I don't understand it.
There's just like a buzz about him. And he chucks
that fucking ball.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Mm hmm. It's like the hardest throw I've ever seen
in my two Like, growing up, I watched Bret Far
Aaron Rodgers probably the two strongest arms of all time.
Joe Milton is like makes those guys look like they
can't throw a football.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Oh no, he sa route hero. He's throwing it through
the guy.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
It's incredible.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
He's winding up, it's like an overhand right, It's insane.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
It's incredible.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, he's he's outstanding.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Hey, real quick shout out to our guy, Mack mclum
just to sign a multi year deal with the Indiana Pacers.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Interesting, good for him. Was he already there?

Speaker 4 (28:53):
No, no, Philly, he was somewhere, He was on a
two way somewhere. But mccung I think he's won what
two or three slim dunk contests in a roll. I
think for it would be an incredible thing to say,
like he's never gonna make anything, but he's not big enough,
he doesn't play enough defense. Whatever, he's fine player. It's
going to be incredible when his career is done. To
say I was the best slam dunk contest participant in

(29:15):
all time. That's an incredible, incredible legacy to hold.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's true, that's true. It hasn't been cool since.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Like I'm just trying to think like people who weren't
really that good in the league but were great slam
like Gerald Green was.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah that Yeah, like Nate Robinson is probably better than that,
but he kind of fits that a little bit. Yeah,
karres ros cool dunks, but he had a fifty point game.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
So true.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
True, Zach Levine is still just a dunkard to me,
even though it's not his game anymore at all.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yeah, Zach Levine rightfully won the two than sixteen dunk
contest that everyone thinks y'reon Gordon won, But that's for
a different conversation.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Yeah, that was insane.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
I've seen Zach Levine dunk in person a couple of times,
like down close, Yeah, it doesn't feel real.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, something suspicious about it. I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Move you got moon shoes?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
I think maybe? Yeah, maybe yeah, I don't know. Okay,
so let's decide on our two.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Probably National tight Ending for sure.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Probably. I was thinking Justin Fields for sure, Like that
was just such a weird story. I think so Justin Fields.
I'm gonna say Justin Fields bench.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Started cried, which was a weird press can the way
he started it too, like I was in the closet
and like, oh no, what's gonna happen here? Justin not
the type, uh but yeah, just sad text from his family.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Like did you see this weird thing?

Speaker 4 (30:45):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I did it.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
They show would be that. Uh it was so weird. Yeah,
we can go a tight Ends pop off?

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Yeah, I think I still I think we put if
we can do like a uh an asterix asterix asterisk
put a pin in. I think the start of the
downfall of kill Williams could be a thing too, but
that's probably not for We don't know that for a year,
a year and a half yet.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Yeah, I'm gonna put that in there because I do
think it's just going to be a snowball effect.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
If they lose this week.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
What do they play this week? I don't at Cincinnati.
They have to win that game. That's a muscle win
for Chicago.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yes it is.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
And Joe Flacco is running for touchdowns. Now I'm it's
not going to be good for them. Okay, before the show,
this is something we talked about off air at one point,
but I decided to do a little bit of football
research so we can tell everybody who is probably winning
the Super Bowl this year. I like to make people

(31:54):
free money. Yeah, that is what am I going to
do with this?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Free money? Is the best money.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
A couple of years ago, I figured out how to
predict the NBA MVP in the NBA Champion. Maybe we'll
bring back that algorithm again. It was pretty It was
a it was a King of the Hill situation. Yeah,
it was the highest score, it become the m v
P and then you carry it through the rest of
the season like that. And there was also an NBA
Cup thing at one point a couple of years ago,

(32:21):
so we'll see. But this is real research. We also
predicted the Women's World Cup correctly, that.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Kind of that kind of going to the radar that
the United States, like, they didn't win the World Cup
last year? Last time? Did they States women?

Speaker 3 (32:36):
No, they got booted quickly, and everyone's like these women's
sports fucking state.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
We never liked them anyway.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yep, but I feel I feel like the United States
women we think about, Wow, they're like have like ten
World Cups in a row, Like, No, they didn't, weren't
even close last night.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
No, they were bad, bad, I mean what the real
thing was everyone was mad about women's sports, and then
everyone was mad at I don't remember her name, but
like the cat in Chick who's always there, she started
to talk a lot about like I mean, makes sense,
like feminist rights and stuff like that, and people were like,
fucking kick the ball. You don't need to hear from you, idiot, right, Yeah, yeah,

(33:15):
we should be a lot more dominating than we are.
That's unfortunate. But I'll take or took a look at
the past ten Super Bowl winners Luke as I completely delete.
There we go, okay, And what I wanted to see
is is there a pattern between bye weeks and Super
Bowl winners.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
There has to be a pattern.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
So it's like, uh, you know, we've there's such a
variety of bye weeks. We have week four buys, we
have Week fourteen buys, so and we all know why
they're doing it. The NFL is experimenting. So then we
have some data and once we add on the eighteenth game,
we're going to get a twenty week season and it's
going to be a double by situation. That's what they're

(33:59):
going to do. There's going to be an early buy,
a late by makes sense. So that's why the bye
weeks are so differentiated right now. But there has to
be a advantage one way or another. Because for the Packers,
for example, we had a week five by this year.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Is that correct?

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Not only did the Packers come out of it more
injured seemingly, but now they have a long ass stretched
to Week eighteam.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, just hopefully the one seed still.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah, before you get into your research here. Logistically, thinking
if you have an early buy, you're going to end
the season with more injuries. You have a late buy,
you have a chance to kind of recoup those injuries
that you already have heading into the playoffs. So it
makes sense that maybe a later buy has a better shot.
But I'm interested to hear what the data says.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Right, And this is just preliminary research here, because obviously,
especially I feel like, let's say six to ten, I
guess years ago, I feel like the majority of the
bio weeks were later So when I say, you know,
spoiler alert, there's more later buyas than the super early ones.
But there might and that might just be because there's

(35:07):
more teams with a lake by right, yep, So take
that for what it's worth. However, what I will say
is I looked at the conference championship team, so the
teams in the AFC Championship, NFC Championship, and I also
did the Super Bowl winner. Now, in terms of just
teams who made the championship game, it is spread out

(35:30):
a decent amount, but the most common bye week in
that game was Week eleven, fifteen percent of the teams.
Oh sorry, Week nine, Week nine and almost eighteen percent
of the teams and Week eleven week fit or fifteen
percent of the teams. So later, but not like extremely late,
is what was super popular. And I also took a

(35:52):
look later I'll get into it teams who had a
first round by versus teams who also had the ability
to rest their players in the final week of the
season to have a little break. So if you think
about it, it's really nice if you can get a
Week eleven by Week nine by right in the middle
of the season, and then you're essentially getting a Week

(36:12):
eighteen by as well, so you're breaking it up nice
and even.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Right just too, because I'm playing along here. So Week
nine had the highest percentage of teams making the Confort
Championship for the Super Bowl, right, I'm understanding?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Week nine is this week. So the four teams that
are on by this week the Cleveland Browns, New York
Jets probably neither of those teams. But the NFC teams
are interesting, Okay. The Philadelphia Eagles, no.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Right, or are they off this week?

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Oh, I thought they already had their buy for some reason.
That's very interesting, okay.

Speaker 4 (36:50):
And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, two very high contenders in
the NFC.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Very high contenders, both teams who really could use the buye. Yeah,
that's very interesting and that would help them out a lot.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
And then Week eleven is interesting as well. For the AFC,
there's only two teams on by. The NFC team is
the New Orleans Saints. The AFC team is the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Colts are very interesting this year. I don't know how
deep they are, but they are the best overall team
right now. I don't think you can dispute it.

Speaker 4 (37:23):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
It's Jonathan Taylor's the MVP right now for sure.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
I mean that oftent line is just insane.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Yeah yeah, I mean they're making him look good as well,
but no, all around, that running game is insane. Yeah,
they're they're moving bodies. Think good for Quentin Nelson, he
discursed this, yep. So yeah, seventeen per Week nine by
fifteen percent, Week eleven by just in terms of teams
who made the conference championship. Now, if you just go

(37:56):
to teams who made the Super Bowl, the most common
bye for teams who just made the super Bowl, that
is Week ten had the most with four teams, and
then Week nine and eleven. So uh that if you
have a buy between week nine through eleven, you have
let's see six ten. So basically a fifty percent chance

(38:20):
or fifty percent of the Super Bowl teams had to
buy in one of those three weeks.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
So Week ten, this week or next week. The four
teams the Tennessee Titans, Okay, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, decent team,
Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
There it is, that's the one.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
What I'm saying is in those three maybe in the
top three contenders, maybe you throw the Packers in there,
but the top three contenders right now, Chiefs, Colts, Eagles.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, and Buccaneers maybe. Never know.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Talking about the Packers, the Packers had that Week five by.
There has been one team to make the Super Bowl
with a Week four by, two teams with the Week
five by to make the Super Bowl. One team has
won the Super Bowl with a Week five by.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Oh interesting.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Last year that was the Eagles.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Oh interesting, we remember.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
And this is what I'll say about the Eagles. Though
the Eagles were bad going into their bye, they regrouped,
were dominating. Yes, then they were so dominating. Plus the
Jalen Hurts injury at the end of the year. They
got to rest in week eighteen and then they had
a first round by so they had a two week rest,
and then they had two games, and then they had

(39:39):
a week off before the Super Bowl, so they had
a lot of rest down the way as well.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
For the Packers to win, like if this is if
it's a situation where the Packers aren't gonna get the
first round by or like any team with an early
bye week, if they're forced to play a I don't know,
like fifteen weeks in a row, like, it's not a
lot a lot of.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Them a.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Ton.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Then factor in the fact that the Packers are a
physical team that's just gonna wear on your body. Playing
in the cold, that's gonna wear on your body. So
that makes that very very tough. But the Eagles, I mean,
playing the cold, play physical football and they had to
rest on the way, but they were pretty darn good.
I think you can see it's taking a toll on

(40:28):
them this year. But still looking at so those are
the most common bye weeks. I would say there's a
couple outliers, but overall, you want to buy after week nine.
Week nine to week twelve is sort of the sweet spot.
Even weeks thirteen and fourteen aren't super common, but again,

(40:49):
that's not a super common bye week either, so I
think that's hard to derive data from. Of the last
ten Super Bowl winners, seven of them had a first
round buy in the playoffs, so I think that is
I think, right one, it should be the best team, right,
so makes sense why there's a pattern there. But still,

(41:13):
and then of that, what am I looking at here?
Also three of them had an ability to rest their
players in Week eighteen as well, right.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
So it's a mini buy and then a buy.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Right.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
So three teams, including the last two winners, had two
weeks off between their Week seventeen game and their divisional
round game, which is a big deal, especially for the
teams that play. They were physical teams, they were injured teams,
so I think that helped them quite a bit in
terms of just having some rest. Though, yeah, seven teams

(41:57):
had at least some rest because the Chiefs even though
they didn't get or what's.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
The team the Patriots?

Speaker 3 (42:04):
The Patriots didn't get a first round by one of
the years, I believe, but they were able to rest
their players in Week eighteen.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
Was that was that year that the Patriots didn't that
the Chiefs might have got the first round by that year.
That feels like the year that Kevin Harland was calling
both games at the same time, you know what I'm
talking about.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yeah, Yeah, Kevin Harland's the goat. Yep, I feel like
that's wrong.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
I'm calling both of them incredible, incredible.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
Kevin Harland's to say it. We still need him on everything.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
By the way, Yep, every single sport ever should be
called Kevin Harland. That's my sports stick.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, I think that's very very fair. So, yeah, seven
teams seven, oh, the last ten guy at least some rest.
So if we get to the playoffs and you're like
started the playoffs, let's make a bet on a Super
Bowl champion. You'll have your data in terms of did
they rest their players in week eighteen?

Speaker 2 (43:01):
If yes, then I think they're still in play.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Otherwise I think you have to bet on one of
the teams that had a first round by I don't
think it really makes sense to bet on a wild
card or something like that.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
Right. It's interesting, right because when I guess, when you
break it down and think about it just as on
the you know, as a whole. I guess it makes
sense to bet on a team who has a buy
right because they have one less game to play. They
already and you know, the Elite eight, I guess what
you could call it. But I've always that's always been
a conversation, I guess with the Packers, because I've seen
the Packers lose games after having the buye whether whether

(43:34):
you're you know you're excited about the rest or do
you get rusty after not having a week.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Yeah, and for whatever reason, the Chiefs have always found
a really good way to bounce back after a bye.
It depends on the coach, like you know, Andy Reid's
record after a bye, Jim or John Harbaugh's record after
a bye. But I'm sure there's situations where they just
start completely flat. I just don't know which coach that is,
but I'm sure Mike McCarthy's a good one.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
I actually could bring up a team's straight up record
for the past few years.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Here.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Let's see where do I find it on this data
bum trends. Let's go since what year makes sense? Let's
go since twenty fifteen win loss after a bye. So

(44:31):
this is a blanket statement. This isn't a coach. But
the Bears are two and one after a bye. Now
I would say they're probably not very good before the
buye either, but it does kind of make sense. I
feel like the Bears. They get to sit at home
and listen to the media bad vibes going into the
buy and then it just stews and gets bigger.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
They're terrible.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
The Bears are a classic team for this joke that's
really turned into a Facebook joke that only old people
say that old people think it's really funny. I saw
this week the Raiders lost to the bye week thirty
five to ten. Like that joke's out funny anymore. That's
a that's a Facebook joke.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Yeah, that's good. That's stupid. The Bills since twenty fifteen
are twelve and oh after it bye. Oh interesting, never lost.
So the best teams are the Bills twelve and oh,
the Chiefs thirteen and three, the Ravens ten and three,
the Steelers nine and three, the Titans so Verabel eight

(45:25):
and three, Colts seven and three, Dolphins seven and three,
Philly eight and four, so pretty good with a rest advantage,
though the Chiefs are thirty five and eleven. Pretty big.
The Falcons are twenty and seven, the Bills are twenty
three and nine. Teams that are the worst, The Jets

(45:49):
are eight and twenty six with the rest advantage. The
Browns are nine and twenty two, the Raiders are ten
and eighteen, and the Commanders are twelve and twenty one.
This one, for whatever reason, make sense to me. The
Bengals are eleven, eighteen and one with a rest advantage.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
They feel like a team that needs a rhythm and
they don't come out hot. I mean they start the
season debt bad that way too, if they need.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
To play some swag and when they don't have it,
all things look like hell.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah, completely agree. So in other words, if you are
betting on a team to win the Super Bowl right now,
like Luke was talking about, with these bye weeks, in
the weeks nine through eleven, here we're talking about the Chiefs,
We're talking about the Eagles. That's probably the most common
super Bowl pick going into the year. Makes sense, that
was my super Bowl pick. The Buccaneers and the Colts

(46:43):
are week eleven.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
I think you said.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
Jets probably not, Dallas, probably not. But if they can
get hot, yeah, Bengals No, probably not Tennessee. Probably not
in the New Orleans, probably.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Not right right, Yeah, I still think if we are
putting out best bets, I still think Ravens to make
the playoffs is a good bet. But they feel like
a team who's going to get really hot, make the playoffs,
get kicked yep.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
Or whatever it's worth, whatever it's worth to if you know,
Chargers look good last on Thursday. Offensive line is starting
to get healthy again, receivers are starting to play well.
Justin Hrbery looks awesome. They have a week twelve by,
Denver's got a week twelve by.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
Those are two very interesting. Those are two tough teams.
If they're on their ship, they will be good.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
Denver's defense looked like the greatest defense of all time
this week.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Yeah, and recently against the Jets too. But then they
have those games against the Giants and other teams like that.
It's I don't know. They need to put it together. Offensively,
they need to get better too. I'm still out on
not out. I'm not in on bow Nicks.

Speaker 4 (47:54):
Yeah the jury. Yes, he still needs to develop.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
A lot of people are were like, saw what I
need to say? Though, So I don't know if I'm
controversial at this.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
Point, but I think that there's there's some kind of
thought in and we we as fans do this all
the time where a guy gets drafted and then everyone
immediately labels him a bust without even like watching him
and play football or anything. Bolle Knicks was at last year,
people just immediately there's no chance, but Nick's succeeds and
he was probably the second best rookie last year. Yar

(48:23):
Jaen Daniels.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know why people thought he would
be bad though. I think it's just because he was
sort of boring and he played a lot of college football, right,
which you know, some people think is a good thing,
and some people think if he was good enough, he
would have come out already.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
I guess, but I don't know. I do not know.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
But yeah, if there's also a team that is trending
in a direction where like if the Packers all of
a sudden are separating themselves on top of the NFC
and it's like, oh, they're almost definitely going to get
that first round by that's when they become in play.
If they don't get that, then I don't think they
are a contender. It's just a bad strata pole unfortunately.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
Yeah, Packers are weird, and again we can talk about
this one. Packers are in a weird spot where they've
only played one division game so far and it's the
first week of the season, which is just basically preseason game.
So those division games are really going to tell like this.
Don't get me wrong with the Packers team looked Austin right,
five to one and one atop the NFC. I think, really,
you know, when you play the Bears, when you play
the Vikings, and when we get to Colda, that's really

(49:27):
what we're going to know. This Packer team is.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
The schedule makers for like team by team in terms
of divisional games, this year I think is weirder than
any other year.

Speaker 4 (49:36):
The Chargers started first three weeks with three divisional games.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Right right.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
And then again the flip side of that is the
Packers or the Ravens. Yeah, Ravens have played one divisional
game so far and was the Browns and they won it.
So if they sweep their division, they're in the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
Right.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
It's it's weird.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
We're also on a spot of the NFL where come midseason,
it always feels like it works like this, right, You
get through like the first seven week, like you kind
of have an idea of what teams are going to be,
and all of a sudden something changes in the middle
of the season. Everyone's like, wow, I didn't see that coming.
Like this team's really coming out of the woodwork. I
mean it makes sense, right, the teams are get halfway
through the year and now we're starting to make adjustments.
I think these next two to three weeks are really

(50:16):
kind of what we are going to see as what
the teams are, what finished are in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
One hundred percent, we're seeing it and we'll sit tonight.
I'm sure again too.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
The Chiefs, right, the Chiefs aren't bad weird, right, It's
almost like this happens every single year.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Oh they're figuring it out. Oh they're healthy, Oh this
and that.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
So yeah, I had one more headline that I forgot
to say. That thing's kind of funny. It's probably not
a headline, but just given the state of fantasy footall,
it's kind of a funny headline. Everyone you know clamoring
for Trevon Henderson all off season long, which, again, good player.
He was never going to be the number one guy
in New England. He got the goal and carried immediately fumbled.
That's kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
It is very funny. Yes, makes me feel good. Yeah,
you know there's certain situations like that. Un of percent,
it feels good. On the flip side. Cam Scatabou getting hurt,
I don't remember another injury across the league that everyone
universally was just upset by.

Speaker 4 (51:09):
Yep, suck. So everybody loves camp Scantable, right, how can
you not love him? The people who have him in
fantasy football talk about camp Scattable like he is like
the second coming of Jesus Christ, and everyone who does
it have him is like, yeah, he's fine.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
I like.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
Yeah, it's like no, you don't get it. Him in
the eleventh round, right, Like this guy has saved me.
It is kind of how I feel. I have him
and Judkins on my team. So this week was tough week.
But yeah, it's like my rookies, my boys, like they've
grown up already in front of my eyes and now

(51:43):
they're just gone. I hate it. I can't take it.
But yeah, we have made you money. Now it's time
for us to put our money where our mouth is,
with our Aaron Rodgers knowledge. So what we are going
to do. We have a little was here and it
looks like it was updated October seventh. We are going

(52:04):
to try and name every single player to catch a
touchdown from Aaron Rodgers. There are a couple Steelers ones
on here. But again, this was updated through week five
as of week five, twenty five, so we don't have
that three or four touchdown tight end game a couple
of weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
Unfortunately. Are you ready?

Speaker 4 (52:28):
Yeah? I think we're knew well on this.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
I don't at the time limit, I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Probably if you play, the clock will come up. Okay,
all right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
Let's see if we have to spell it correctly. I
feel like that could be the downfall for a couple
of these. But here we go six minutes.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
Oh shit, Okay, Davante, I think you're just throwing at them.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Okay, Adams, Oh thank god, okay, Adams driver, cab driver, Jenny's,

Speaker 4 (55:48):
Yeah, okay, Jayleen Warren.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Oh yeah, Warren Austin maybe, yes.

Speaker 4 (56:00):

pass suching last year from him.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Yeah, nice Titans. A lot of tight ends. Uh, Conklin yep, Pittsborg.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
Do we get a Darnel Washington in here? No? Yeah, No,

Speaker 4 (56:28):
There we go Jet sweaters here? Mel Kai Corley, Uh

Speaker 4 (58:41):
Nice, you're not this week this year? All right? A J.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Dillon Hendrick got.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
Oh it could have got Corliss is a bad miss.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
It is Justin Perolo love Justin Perolo.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
I don't have any recognition of Revel Martin.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
Must have been between the transition between farm and Rogers,
because I don't remember much either.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
I remember the name Justin Perrillo. Yeah here, that's not fair.
He's on here twice. Oh man, we didn't miss too.
We only missed one for that. So this is actually
fifty at fifty nine.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Pretty good. What's the one that missed the most? A
couple of zero?

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Yeah, we pulled out the bottom ones.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:34):
Samari tore No one remembers or Kenny Eboa. Okay, A
little interesting fact here in nineteen twenty is new leader
of Turkey Mustava Kamala. Turk wanted to reduce the power
of the Muslim religion. To accomplish this, he banned women
from wearing the he shot. His plan failed, and policemen

(59:54):
refused and forced the new law. So he got creative
and passed an edict that requires prostitutes the job. This
trick did nicely, and pretty soon he jobs were a
thing of the past, or the story goes. So that's
a good little thought, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
And the show on.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Thank you for listening to the flour Sports podcast, Luke
anything else leave the people on?

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
Yeah, I guess just because this is the last floor
Sports podcast before Halloween. You got a favorite Halloween movie villain?

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Movie villain? I do like Jason a lot. Yeah, No,
I mean I mean Eddie Eddie Freddy Freddie. Yeah. I
don't know why I said. Eddie Freddy is my favorite.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
For sure. I like Freddy. My thing with like Flasher
movies and like Halloween movies things like that. I like
him when the villain could like actually be like real,
like you could actually see him in real life and
could encounter him, which I talk about it a lot,
but terrifier like that first movie that felt like felt
like a real person and it got way too supernatural,
which I think is great. It's but just it kind

(01:00:56):
of lost the luster a little bit. Scream has always
been one of my favorite movies, not necessarily Halloween movies,
which is movies in general. I think it's an incredible movie.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
I like Goats Space, Yeah, but one of the best feelins.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
Yeah, but I think right that the heavy hitters are
gonna be Jason Michael. Jason is the one who that
does it for me. He feels like, when you think
of this question, you meet, your mind immediately goes to Jason.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
Yeah. Those movies I've seen all but one of them.
I haven't seen Jason Goes to Space, which I need
to see.

Speaker 4 (01:01:25):
That.

Speaker 2 (01:01:26):
The Franche is so ridiculous, so good, it is very good.

Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
Jason in New York is an incredible movie.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
So the Dog Saves the Day spoiler alert, Yeah, on
a ship going over it's insane. Yeah, it's everything went
out the window. It's like, oh, he's afraid of water,
and then all of a sudden, no longer, he's good
to go. Have you seen any of the I haven't
seen them. The Leprechaun movies, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Not the first one any good.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
I mean, you know, no, but for scary movies, they're fun.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Sure, sure, okay, fair enough. I haven't really seen those.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
Yeah, I would recommend watching the first one because like
right when you think of Saw, you think of like
this horrific gruesome kills and everything. The first one is
actually a pretty decent movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Okay, yeah, there's what like nine.

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
I haven't seen the newest one. Back in high school.
I went on a binge of them during like probably
around this time, but I haven't seen much. I haven't
like rewatch him or anything like I think, once you
see him once, you're fine. But that first one is
actually pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
Movie, Okay, really good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
Like like the psychological ones like Shining and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
Yeah I do. I would rather see like like Terrifier
just go and you know, just destroy everybody, because I
think that's awesome. But yeah, I mean, those those psychological
ones have a place.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
I will say.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
I I went and saw Paranormal Activity one when it
was in theaters, and I was like, they sold it,
and I was young enough, I guess I believed it.
They sold it like it was a real thing, and
I thought it was real, incredible. The movie is saying
it was real, And then when my parents said it
wasn't real, I was pissed. I was like, you guys

(01:03:14):
are fucking dumb.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
Right, argue that that's an incredible movie movie where nothing
really happens anything crazy, but just the thought of it
is incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Yeah. For one woman gets drugged by her ankle. That's
it right, right?

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Yeah, well, I think that Conjuring is like the scariest
movie ever made. Like the first time I ever saw it,
that's an incredible one. And Sinister might be the scariest
movie of all time. Yeah, crazy, I.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Don't have to watch that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
My first uh date I ever had when I was
in middle school, I went to see When a Stranger Calls. Oh,
that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
That was that was we went on a double date.
It was pretty crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
You know what's great too, Like Scream is incredible. I
know what you did last summer is incredible. Like all
these movies are incredible. The scary movie, scary movie one.
It might be like a top five movie ever too.
It spoofs us so well that it is so that
is such a funny movie.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
They're making another one now too.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
Yeah. The two was good too. I thought three, four
and five they kind of got corny and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Sucked, but I like three still.

Speaker 4 (01:04:27):
Yeah, I guess yes, Yeah, I don't disagree. One is incredible.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Did you see the new Jordan Peele movie with Wayne's brother?

Speaker 4 (01:04:38):
No, so the only I've never seen get Out, to
be honest, which is probably bad on my apartment either.
But US I liked.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
This is the first Jordan Peele movie I've seen. I
need to see them because I know i'd like them.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Yeah, you, I think you were like us. I'm sure
me and you would both like get Out just from
what I've heard of it. But Us is an awesome movie.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Okay, I like this one. People didn't like it. It's
about football, obviously football player, but I thought it was
very good. I think the pacing at the end was bad,
but overall people are upset by like the story and ship,
and I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
I think it's good. I think you would enjoy it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
It's a movie about the Green Bit Packers, all right.
Legitimately they quote Vince Lombardi in it. It's about the
Green Bay Packers quarterbacks. Essentially interesting, So yeah, it's good.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
On the other side of this not good movies, but
kind of fit in with it. They're so bad that
they're actually like fun to watch, you know, things like that,
these b movies that they put out probably when I
was in like middle school, Like The bunny Man Massacre
was an incredible movie. I don't remember that. The opening
scene where he just goes and slaughters the kids on
the bus and tells it to the guy who makes
him in a beat jerky. That's an incredible premise. And

(01:05:50):
then Big Ass Spider where the Huge Spider takes that. Yeah,
Layer Alert that killed by shooting a rocket. Lundterp But
but it's it's awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
That's good. Trevor recommended. Thanks killing to me.

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
Oh, I've never seen.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
It bad, but it's you know, for what it is,
it's great. Have you seen any of the like now
that win of the Pooh's like in public domain, like
they have of the Pooh horror ones. There's a Mickey
Mouse one. I haven't seen those.

Speaker 4 (01:06:18):
There's a one, the Mickey Mouse one is they're on
a cruise ship or something like that just came out.

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Right, Yeah, I would love to see that. Yeah, I'm
sure it's great.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
The other one fun, but the bad movie is Zombiever's.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
I've heard of that one. I haven't seen that one.

Speaker 4 (01:06:33):
Awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:06:34):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
The other movie recommendation I'll do before we get out
of here if you haven't seen it. The New Naked
Gun is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (01:06:43):
And I love the Old Naked Gun. So I don't
my thing I like. I haven't seen a lot of movies.
I don't know. I just never sit down and watch
movies or whatever. I love that Old Naked Gun. That's
one of the one of the couple old movies I've seen.
So I haven't seen this one yet. I'm excited to
watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Oh, it's it's I think it's funnier. It's it's I
didn't see the Naked Gun movies before I watched this
first or new one, and then I went back and
have watched the other three now, okay, but it's it's. Yeah,
it's unbelievably funny. It's my type of humor, so it's
dialed in for me. But I think you would enjoy

(01:07:18):
it as well. Great stuff. You need to go watch that.
Let me know how it is. It's streaming right now.
It's on Peacock I think. Okay, Okay, so Luke will
do a little bit of homework on that and then
we'll have him back on to give his review for sure, okay,
and Jake will be back next week. I'm sure it's
a little spoiler alert what we're gonna do. I'm probably
gonna catch Jake up with everything he has missed, and

(01:07:41):
he is going to, I'm sure have some sort of
story that will piss me off about France.

Speaker 4 (01:07:46):
You should start when you catch him up on things.
You should start it like the thing that does not
matter in the slightest first.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
Okay, so what everyone, everyone, including you, semi recommendations for that,
because there's been a lot of shit that's happened, because
he'll be gone for ten total days, I think, and
everything has happened lately.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
Like if you start this with, like, hey, Jake, here's
what you missed. Andy Dalton's starting for the camp for
the Panthers right now. That's that's pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Yeah, big deal. Yeah, it's pretty cool. That's pretty neat.
I think I did message him that because he's like
everything's happening, Like, yeah, we're gonna get Tyrod Taylor this week.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Little did he know. We didn't even get that right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Big deal, but we'll be back next week, see you
then goodbye.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
I start

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
Fuck yeah,
