Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Hey, don't list to play Flurry Sports will save
your day? Can jokes with sports inside, Zach and Shake
they get it right? Fuck you.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello, Welcome back to the Flory Sports Podcast. The end
of week three and I was a little bit worried
that we would get to Monday Night Football and it
would have been a dud week because Monday night football
game seems so good with the Ravens and Lions by
far the biggest projected point total, so a lot of points.
It's gonna be a good game tonight, I think, And

(00:45):
then the rest of the game seemed like they would
be so boring, and Jake, I was so wrong. So
much happened in week three. I don't know if anything
important happened in week three, but there's a lot to dissect,
a lot to go through, and everyone's saying this is
the show to do it. There's only one group that
can do this, and that's the Flory Sports Podcast. So

(01:06):
you know what self nominated hand up we got you.
So welcome to the show, Jake. How are you feeling
after fifteen of the week thirteen or week three games,
not thirteen.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
I'm feeling good. I'm coming fresh off of my niece's
first birthday party. And I will say the only downside
is the Badger game was on.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
So I have an issue because I have an issue
with Twitter, and this might be the first issue anyone's
ever had with Twitter. The Badger game happened, which is bad. Yeah,
and then everybody was talking about it, and everyone had
to tell me about it, Like I opened the app
in for the entire day, including into the next day
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
You can that I started with it still here.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Baby, but you scroll everyone is talking about the Badgers.
I get it. Okay, we're now what we used to be.
I understand everyone has an opinion, and I that's stunk Maryland.
I didn't even know that a football team.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I think. I think that's the reaction. Is it? Is
it bad that I My first reaction during the game
was like, hey, we can save the fire chance until
fourth quarter. Then I was sorry, bring up.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Bad They couldn't that they were leaving before he had.
They already had an appointment scheduled. Let's get it in
first quarter and then we'll dip. Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
But so this was my only thing. Great weekend for football,
terrible weekend for Wisconsin sports fans.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Also, only saving grace to the Brewer fans in the room,
and by room, I mean chat my condolence is on
top of the Packers. Yeah, we're gonna circle back this
because I have a question about the Packers and the
Badgers in a second. But the Badgers get demolished, the
Packers choke, and then Brandon Woodriff, one of their best pitchers,

(02:56):
done so oh absolutely for the year, might be done
forever just because it's like his third drastic surgery in
three years.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, I'm certainly counting my money for my bed safe
place before the season in my head right now. But
that does sound bad for people who are rooting for them.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So good news for you, bad for them. Here's my
question circling back to Badgers Packers. I talked about this
with a friend of the show, Pete Osmond yesterday. What
is the what's the worst loss? Is it the Badgers
or is it the Packers? Because that's truly a philosophical question. Yeah,

(03:36):
get wopped by a team you thought you were gonna beat,
like a bad loss? Or yeah, you just do everything
you give to lose.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think, well, see here's the thing. Maybe I'm coming
at this from a different perspective and a wrong perspective
to have on this. But I very much talked about
how the Packers could lose this game, and it played
out exactly as expected. So I'm a little bit like
different about that. But regardless throwing that away, this feels

(04:08):
like a program changing loss for the Badgers, like I
feel like everything has changed. They're gonna fire their athletic director,
as they should. He shouldn't be allowed back in the building.
Barry Alberd should put a hit out on him. I'm
surprised he's not sunk in the bottom of Lake Michigan
right now. This is embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Because you know, this is sad. He doesn't even know
does he want great Guard to succeed or not?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Because he didn't the other thing, I as everyone knows
who's ever.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Talking, one of your most vocal opinions carry.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I hate Greg Guard and he's not good. He's not good.
And then everyone's like, man, Greg Guard's the only good
coach of Wisconsin. Wrong, Oh, Wisconsin football is only good
because all the muddy's tied up in basketball. Wrong, Like
everybody has a wrong opinion about this. Everything wrong. Greg
Guard stakes not all the buddies tied up in basketball.
And you know what, there's other good coaches. Our volleyball

(05:06):
team's good, very good, national consistently, Yes, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Both of them.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I softball is good, breaks, softball's good. Everything's good
except for the two things I care about.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
So, by the way, the two things that the athletic
director cares about, let's not get interested because he's gonna
come out and be like, our other sports are fine.
You didn't do it, including basketball. You didn't do anything.
Here's the only thing I've heard prove great Guard argument.
You might like this one. Okay, Great Guard is kind

(05:39):
of the perfect counter to the argument that Luke Fickle
like can't recruit people to Wisconsin, because if Greg Guard's
recruiting people, right, it's possible. Yeah, he locked down the
Twin cities.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
He did. He did. It's this is just embarrassing, and
I like Fickle that it breaks my heart because I
was so excited for him to come. I think he's
a good coach.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well, we never know how much of it's his fault.
And I sincerely mean that because it was gonna be
a long haul anyway. And then the conference doubled in
size and the transfer portal blew up, and he had
no shot because he was like, we're gonna totally recruit
differently than we ever have before. And then Oregon came
in and said, actually, no, you're not, because we're all

(06:27):
gonna recruit all those guys now too. You have no chance.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
It's well, he also just set the program back where
it's like, Okay, we're gonna bring in Lombo, we're gonna
be an air raid offense and for whatever reason, that
means we don't recruit offensive lineman. Okay, fine. And then
now people are expecting because this year we're saying, Okay,
we're gonna run the ball again. Okay, boom. Now we're

(06:54):
just gonna have those players like no one understands, like, okay,
if we're making a mentality shift, that's a three year process.
So now and it sounds like fickles here for that
time because it's gonna cost us twenty five million dollars
to say goodbye. So I think he can do it.
I don't want to go through the pain. Paul Crystal

(07:14):
quietly free. Paul christ would coach for free, Jim Leonard
would coach for free.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
So this is the thing, all of this aside, I
don't know if we would care Wisconsin fans. We had him,
he was there, and he didn't pick Jim Leonard because
the fans wanted it too much.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
That that's why it hurts worse. It's just because we
had Jim Leonard. That's it, because that's that's the golden goose,
that's the guy we've been working up towards. That's why
we sat through Paul Chris press conferences, that's why we
did all of these things. And it's like, Okay, finally
Jim Leonard and then we gave him a half a
season and it's like, you didn't change anything, what's your deal?

(07:58):
You stink get out here?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
And he was in this half season?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah better than that, So like whatever, at least he
had a Here's okay. There's a lot of things, by
the way, not to leave it.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
But also how many I got to hear about every
fucking linebacker in the universe in the NFL, and they're
always like Wisconsin's sneaky defensive factory. And I'm like we
were since your period. Suddenly we were like couldn't have
anything to do with Jim Leonard.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Right, That's the thing, Like Wisconsin can be bad and
that's fine. Wisconsin's offense can be bad, and that's fine
given everything the program changed, the mentality change, the defense
cannot be bad. And I just had to watch Maryland
fucking bombing on us and that is embarrassing. At Camp Randall,

(08:50):
this is my thing.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
You know, this is where I go to die in
the Big Ten because you know it really sucks. Yes,
the conference doubled in size. Yes, the trans report opened. Seck.
Do you know who played in the Big Ten championship
last year?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Ohio State? Was it? Iowa?

Speaker 3 (09:09):
We could be Iowa? Why aren't we them? They suck?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Were we were Iowa?

Speaker 3 (09:17):
And we were like, we have to change, No, you don't.
We could be Iowa.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Iowa's fine, that's great. Let's win regular season games and
then guess what, we get to hype ourselves up for
a Big Ten championship every year. And that's fun to do.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I well, even locked in now, everyone thinks their corners
are good all the time. They got right on one. So
every white corner is the next the next dude, you know,
could be hey, could be listen. I'm not racist. I
just think it's oh but Cherry Pickett.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
We got good white football players. We got good white
college women's basketball players. That's what Iowa does.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
That is what Iowa does, and we punt the shit
out of the ball. We just absolutely But that's what
I'm saying. It's a big tan baby. There's room for us.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
There is, there is.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
People saying we can't compete with Oregon, with UCLA, with
USC grow up. Those guys stink like those little West
Coast prissy boys. We can beat them. Oh they got
they got Nike you for they got phild Night, But
who gives a fuck the ball down their throat.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hate to break it to you, Big ten still rigged.
Even if all those teams are good, they're all on
the Ohio State side of the conference.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Bingo, let's we just gotta compete with Iowa.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
To your point, if they're all on that half, they
split it up and for some reason that'll never change.
We had ten teams and it feels like they all
went to the Ohio State side of the conference.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Try telling Barry Elvrez we're gonna add all these power
power teams to your conference, and Barry is like no
or not? And you're gonna tell him now, then you're dead.
So that's why they went to the other side.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
By the way, this is also we're really in the now.
That's how come this athletic director is kicked because there's
he's gonna come back his interrom. There's no world. That's
not what's about to happen. Barry, Barry's a call away.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
You're telling me Barry's not going to coach one more
game as well.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
By the way I wickied him this weekend. I forgot
how many times he substituted for one game.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
And by the way, run the ball eighty times that
game and we always win. Barry knows what to do
really good.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
I'd give anything to be in practices that week.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh god, he he's one of the scariest guys of
all time. He looks like the Boss from Monsters, inc.
For people who don't know, and he is incredible. He
is one of the best football minds of all time.
But whatever long gone apparently or not call away, we'll see.
Let's talk about the NFL, shall we.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Let's we did a few weeks ago before the start
of the season, yes or no? After after week one
we picked all of the winners. We had to go
drafting back and forth to draft who would be the
longest lasting undefeated team, and I have not looked at it, Jake,
And that is what we're going to start the show with,
other than Badger talk, as we always do with Badgerie talk.

(12:15):
So let's just delete the teams who I have lost.
So the Gods got the Bears gone, okay. So these
bottom teams must have been teams that had already lost
that I removed. Fantastic gone, okay. So then we got

(12:37):
Bills are good, Packers lost, Bengals cooked, Raiders lost, Cardinals undefeated. No,
they just lost this right, Okay, you got the Bills
and you may win. Great. I have the Eagles, Bucks,
Chargers lost.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yes, Chargers won.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
No, they just lost today or this week? Right? No?

Speaker 3 (12:59):
They they came back and they beat the Broncos by
a field goal?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Did they? Fantastic? Rams lost, Colts are away again? Niners undefeated?

Speaker 3 (13:10):
Niners are undefeated? Do you have all those teams? Do
I only have the Bills?

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
By the way, that's a movie, because I might still
I might, got ya, I think so? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah. I don't have confidence the Chargers are really undefeated.
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
They literally I'm looking at the box score now Cameron
dickerfield goal as time expired to win.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
What a week of football?

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, Keenan Allen scored with two minutes left and then
they kicked the field goal.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Wow. Okay, I mean Chargers are technically undefeated. I guess
I don't believe it. I don't agree, but cool. So
the undefeated teams left in the league The Niners, yeah,
who potentially do not have a quarterback right now. The Buccaneers,
who have potentially the MVP of the league right now.
The Eagles, who are the best team in the league

(14:01):
right now in my opinion, the Chargers who are technically undefeated.
Do we believe it? Probably not the Colts. I mean,
is Daniel Dives in the Daniel dives Daniel jees in
the MVP conversation.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
The Old Times, Not Danny dives for Daniel.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
I'm using his government.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Man, dude, we should every time a quarterback's having a
hard time, tell that motherfucker their safety on a practice squad.
Light them up a little bit. See what happens.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, you know what, Just shake him a little bit
and then they're just gonna start making breaking records. Apparently
he hasn't turned the ball over. He's incredible.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I do like you've come in here today fired up
about the MVP conversation. Yes, technically the MVP conversation right
now is really hot around Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
There's nothing more I like than early season MVP talk.
I don't care. At the end of the year. We
know what's gonna happen at that time.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
So clearly still Lamar also undefeated.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
Sure, but let's just say Lamar loses the game again
through Derrick Henry tonight and what happens. Never know.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's true. Patrick Mahomes is bounced back, so he's technically
still in it.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Chief's Chiefs all the way back.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Obviously, we bounced back after a win against I'll say it,
the worst football team I've ever seen that was bad.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Russell Wilson is laughably bad. And I like the fact
that the only reason he has a job as the
starter is that their schedule gets so much tougher and
they're like, we just needs you to take every hit,
Bud Well.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
It's like three quarters of the Browns game where they're like,
here's why they're still sticky with Joe Flacco.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Right right, You see Micah Parsons over there, Let's circle him.
That is why Joe Flacco is in the game. We
can't screw up Dylan Gabriel, Love God, he's the golden Goods.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
By the way, Let's circle Michaeh Parsons if you can't
find him. He's the one who's slightly in the neutral
z out right.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, he's the one who's foot is on top of
the football so they can't snap it right now.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, Hey, Devoute Wyatt, your one job display tell me
I get a back up. Can we make some adjustments?
Jesus Christ, I'm sorry derailed to me.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Zach.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
We just talked about the winners. I don't even know
if you remember this. We should check in on our losers.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
We should check in on our losers. Let's go to that.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Along with our winter draft, we also selected in our
search to have the most total losses. We drafted two
thirds of the league. Yes, pursuit of total defeat.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
And the ones highlighted in yellow. If you remember, we
did a trade because I mean, yeah, trade that's fine. Yeah, okay,
So let's just really quick. So three losses for the
Browns or no. Two they just won? Sorry, excuse me.

(16:59):
Two for the Anthers, right, they won this.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
They won, they dominated yesterday and the weirdest game of
all time.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, that was that was that was something. So two
for them. Colts zero, Raiders two losses, Niners zero, uh,
Dolphins three three, Cardinals one one, Packers one, Dallas two,
Titans three. I believe ya.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Who's Dallas beat the Giants?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yes? Vikings one?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Is that true? That? That's my technicality? Is that true?
The Vikings only have one loss?

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Technically they did beat the Bears in Week one. It
doesn't feel like it, but they did.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Okay, that's correct. They have one loss.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Okay, Jaguars or they have two or three?

Speaker 3 (17:50):
The Jags won yesterday. But what does that mean? We'll
find out you have one loss?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
That lost? True? Wrong, that's that true? Okay? Uh, Bengals
also just one loss?

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Right?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
The Bengals also just one loss?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
This is incredible. You have that one yesterday to Carson Wentz.
Your one loss teams down here are terrible. Okay, that
sucks to be.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
That stinks for me, man, Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
It'll come back around. We're okay. Patriots do they have two?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
They have two? By the way, n ol east rip
a Ruski, the only have one loss.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Seahawks have one loss. Yeah, okay special. You know, here's
two Falcons two.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yes, Carolina has got their number. What are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Just winless?

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Jets are the best winless team I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's probably true. Giants winless, windless, and then Saints windless.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Okay, that's true about I think it's right because who
the hell would they be. But I just yeah, okay, they're.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
The worst team in the league. So you started hot
and then these guys down here, you were gonna correct yourself.
But at the moment, boy, they are winning games. That
is bad. How did I get the Titans? Oh? I traded?
How did I get the Titans? There?

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, you traded. Yeah, it's not Yeah, that looks worse
than it is, but yeah, you get the Titans so
that I could get.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Jacksonville, jackson or Falcons one of the right. I traded
my Falcons with Titans. You traded you forore My Jacksonville
for San Francisco.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, that's what it was. Yeah, because
I yeah, I didn't want San Francisco. You know what's
also sucky about that bottom part? Just like I mean,
I've gotten every injury prediction, right, I'm like, like, I've
got your burrow. Does matter what loss? I was like,
Oh JJ McCarthy fucking sucks, doesn't matter. Carson FNS is

(20:05):
gonna win them football games. I don't feel good about
Minnesota on my list anymore.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
No, they're a good football team. But Jacksonville will come around. Cincinnati,
I would assume COVID being bad. Yeah, Seahawks will finish
one game above five hundred. Probably they'll do that.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
I'm interested in that. Yeah, but that's our that's our
thing so far yours, I mean good value throughout.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, we probably balance out, would be my guess.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You're trying to think on who your list though, Like,
I mean, they are gonna win a lot of games.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
But yeah, well Arizona maybe not, but green Bay will.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
I bet Arizona ends up with nine wins.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
They'll be around there. I mean, they just lost James Connor, though,
what else do they got? He was the team.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Always forget he's a football player.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
What no longer done?

Speaker 3 (21:03):
But that is our winners and our losers is for
you all, and now is actually we give in some storylines.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
We should get it. We absolutely should. So every single week,
we name our two biggest storylines. We did the off season,
we did the preseason, and we've done two weeks already. Again,
a lot has happened this week, but to me, it
category categorizes under two things. But I'm gonna say the
first one because there's no disputing it, and I believe

(21:31):
I made it. The title of the live stream here
if you're not watching live or listening live Flurry Sports
YouTube channel on Sunday Monday nights. Today's Monday Mine is
special teams make special plays. Special teams took over. Yeah,
the like the early just the early time slot, there

(21:51):
is five field goals blocked. We also had a kick
or a punt return touchdown, and then there was an
extra point blocked last night, Like it was specialty completely
took over the entire week. Games were won and lost
based on special teams pretty much purely. Is kind of insane.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, And within a five minute window it went fucking
bonkers because the Packers had a kick block only to
set up another field goal, which I was like, that's
a total special teams win. That's yes, great for the
Brown special teams coach. The Eagles get a block kick
to win and cover.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
Right right, and they had a block kick before that.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, so terrible day for the Rams special team coach.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yes, yeah, he's he hasn't went to sleep yet because
he's afraid Sean mcvabill smother him.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
And in my opinion, the most impressive play of any
of them didn't matter. The Jets block touchdown was electric
and Baker went.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, right, perfect, it's set up perfectly for me. Too
much time yet again, and then Baker drove the field,
dig his thumbs into the wound that was Steve Wilks
there or whatever. He's the one who fired Baker Mayfield
in Carolina, which you could argue was the greatest thing

(23:15):
a coach has ever done for Baker Mayfield's career. But Baker, no, no, no,
very salty about it, hates it, hates the man and
beat him because of it. So Baker Mayfield's a man
on a mission right now. He is so injured, he's
playing every game and he is pissed off. This is
we're in prime Baker Mayfield now, and we forget the

(23:35):
off season leading up to this, very angry Baker Mayfield
was Liam Cohen saying, yeah, but I'm coming back. And
then he left the state or no stay in the state,
left the city, drove away. Baker is expecting him to
show up at the facility and he's a Jacksonville seeing
news reports, seeing pictures like that was the snakiest thing

(23:57):
I've seen a coach do, and he did it. Guy.
I can only assume that Jaggs played the Buccaneers at
some point this season. I'm gonna look right now, but
that's gonna be must watch television.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Also, by the way, we haven't talked about this enough. No,
two quarterbacks better different sides of the same coin than
going from coaching Baker Mayfield and coaching Trevor Lawrence. Yeah,
has to be those two boys date the same girl
in the movie.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, for sure, for sure. Somehow the NFL always gets
this right, and they did it this time. There's no
Jacksonville versus Tampa Bay matchup. Usually that always happens. Usually
that's like a Prime Week six. Baker's just doing for
a month. Yeah, Thursday night, we don't want to watch it.
But Baker's foaming at the mouth, just pacing on the sideline,

(24:47):
smelling salts everything. But no, no, we're gonna have to
wait probably until next year.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Well, and also, yeah, we should have known, like the
Jets have found every way to lose games this year
and Tampa can't be beat. It's unbelievable. No on your
your special team's point. The only other thing I'll add
also just a completely dominating performance by Seattle's special teams,
because I've already been this season. It's unbelievable. I a

(25:16):
little behind the scenes curtain. Second, and I are playing
in Dynasty League. I'm finding every way to just not
compete this year.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's being you also cursed my team this week, like
I need a ceed lamb injury. Okay, boom, I.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Will say text of you as I saw him get hurt.
I didn't do it before he got hurt. I watched
it happen.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Then message, I don't have enough IR spots anymore because
James Connor went down.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Well at least you got. I was like, thank god,
I got Jake Browning Son up a bitch, like what
are we doing?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
Yeah? Yeah, And then I.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Saw forty four points from Seattle. I'm saved. I traded
Joe Flack on my Golden Goose in the second round
pick so that I could bring in Sam Darnold forty
four points. What it old ay do a respectable sixteen
points in a forty four point victory Because we're kicking
field goals and we're returning punts. He never gets to

(26:09):
touch the ball.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Nope. Ken Walker has eight carries for seven yards and
two touchdowns as well. That's great for you.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, just an awful time. But we've talked about enough
though one I wasn't planning on starting with this, but
one of my storylines is, uh, Baker's the best. I
just think, yeah, besting the watch right now. Tampa's electric,
I hope somehow still disrespecting Todd Bowles still happening, Yeah,

(26:38):
but uh, it's a real thing going on. But Tampa's good,
like good good like not in a bad division like,
It's a good football team. And to your point, Baker
Mayfield's like is at a level where yeah, everyone who
ever thought he shouldn't be a starter as an idiot.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Now yep, yep, he's going scorch druth and I love it.
This is the best version of him. He's about to
take an Oklahoma flag and stab it into the ground again.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
It does help that he's handing the ball off to
those running backs, but I mean sure, I'm just saying
only in the sense of I also, oh, gross, people
don't know who Bucky Irving is.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, people aren't treating him with any respect whatsoever. And
then you have Abuka making one handed catches down the sideline.
So yeah, Baker's got help, but Baker's still playing. Well.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
Oh absolutely, It's just that whole team's a little under respected.
But that was my first one. The other one I
will do. I don't think this is a top one,
but just to get it off the board, I was
gonna say that, like, Chiefs are back. I don't know
if that's a top one, but they look good. They've
fully recovered the magic.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
See Thornton is the best receiver in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yeah. By the way, the other thing that didn't help me,
I'm like, Juju Smith Schuster, this is finally where I
see value from you.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Nope, nope, Juju fill off of Cliff since leaving Pittsburgh.
It was kind of insane. The only storyline Chiefs are back.
People aren't treating that with respect, but it's true. They
just needed one. The only other storyline I wrote down
was the last second wins. Seven games were decided, but

(28:21):
with a game winning score with thin the last three minutes,
which is the most seventy What was that?

Speaker 3 (28:29):
I think.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
I saw the stats, so it must have included it.
I didn't know that though.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
I just merger, Yeah, wow.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
That's why I'm like, I think there's two storylines this week,
Like every game came down to the last second, and
it ties in with special teams obviously, but like everything
switched we had, Every game was a comeback. Every game
was decided at the end, other than the and the Panthers,
which is weird that those were the dominating performances I had.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
It is I think I'll be interested do we go
close games or do we go this one? Because this
is my other one that's a broad narrative, which is
backup quarterback bonanza. We got Mac Jones coming in hot,
Carson Wentz coming in doing his thing, Jake Browning sucking
it up, the only one that happens to be on
my team. But you know a lot of injuries. Folks

(29:28):
come in kind of playing.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Well, may have Mario wud have played well?

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yes, sorry, I knew I was forgetting somebody. Yeah, like yeah,
they're playing out of their minds. Like I don't know
if any of them are playing themselves into long I
feel like Wentz, of all people, is gonna get looks
other places.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, I mean there's a case to be made that
Wentz and I am basing it purely on skin color.
But Wentz could be Daniel Dimes.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
They've tried it everywhere, but maybe, I mean, if anyone
can do it, I guess it's it's quarterback whisperer O'Connell.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
To be fair, he was good in Philadelphia until he
wasn't and then right and then the Colts. He was
injured the entire time, and it's the Colts.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
So same with the Commanders before Daniels, like, has he
had a real chance?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Was it the Commanders?

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, he was one hundred percent At the Commanders. I
don't know how much he played, but he was on
the team six teams and six years. That was the
stat they were sharing yesterday.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Crazy, I don't remember that. I also don't think the
Chargers won so well.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
If it makes you feel better, I have written down
on my list of backup quarterbacks who won yesterday Joe Flakau,
who I thought is just not a backup, but it
feels like he is.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Depends on who you talk to I mean Cleveland Report,
everyone thinks is the starter, so maybe.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
And soon to be starting backup for somebody. Skyler Thompson.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
True, very true, I mean maybe speaking just quick, very
quick point. Because you said a Steelers quarterback is Drake May,
top ten quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
He's close.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
That feels weird. It makes me feel like the quarterback
position is even worse than I thought it was. And
I already thought it was bad.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
I don't think so, I don't think he is. Let's
do it right now. Top ten. We have a wheel
coming up later. But should we do a quick.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Really quick top ten? We can only choose players who
are currently playing, so like Joe Burrow's not including.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
I understand, okay, I got you, I got you, I
got you, Okay, in no order. Let's just get ten names.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Up, sure, mahomes Lamar, Josh Allen, Yeap, Herbert, Drake May,
Herbert Drake May before top.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Ten, Hurts, Hurts, Fair, Baker, cover.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
For sure, Baker for sure, Baker.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yeah, Jade and Daniels hurt. Oh yeah, sorry, Jared.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
I'm focusing just on this week. Uh, find Jared Goff.
I'll take Jared Goff.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
I think above that. Yeah, okay, people still playing. That's tough.
People are hurt.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Kyler has been bad, Stafford's been bad, hurt Rogers, I
think Rogers, but he hasn't been outstanding. But I think
I think that's fair.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Darnold's close.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Gina last week was so bad. It's so tough to say.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Okay, well, if we're doing it that way, then definitely
Daniel Jones.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, he should have been number one. That's
my bad. That's on me.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
One more though, but we put on a lot of babies.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Here's the here's the question, because I think this decides
the number ten spot, and I think this is a
real question. Yeah, who's better Bo Nicks or Drake May
we gotta pay.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Or Trevor Lawrence not all the same guy.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I mean he's included there, but yeah, not Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
He's out.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
So this, Oh it's Dak up there. Maybe Dak's up there,
but for the sake of the conversation that he's not.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Okay, he's I think you can find ways to barely
keep him out. But I agree that he's really close,
and I think it's a fun I think him or
Sam Darnold's a fun conversation.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah, yeah, they're all right there.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I would for sure. This is hard when they're losing games.
I would put Geno above him. I just would, but
I don't know if that's fair.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I think so. It was just bad against the Chargers.
It was not close whatsoever, really really bad.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Did we forget anyone? Obviously? Just now. We didn't mention
Caleb Williams at all, But I agree.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Can Can can't be him.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Stroud at all. He's been bad, but he's been bad.
I agree with you, Colts. We talked about Jaggs, we
talked about Texans, we talked about not cam Ward, no
one else in the NFC South. I think we covered them,
covered everything we did again, we did sneak up on Dak.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Dak was down there. But it is what it is. Yeah,
that's my top ten. Not bad, no, but okay, that's good.
And now, Zach okay. Our official top two storylines for the.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Week are special teams for sure, special teams for sure.
I would go back up quarterback bonanza, but I'd be
willing to do close games if you wanted. It is
a fun stat. It's a funner stat.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
It is it is the We're gonna get all the
backup quarterbacks next week. We need them to play well.
Like some of them played well, but some of them
played really bad.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
True Carson, Yeah, Carson wentz to Jake Brown and played
each other. I don't know that, right, Count Man Jones
won by a hope and a prayer.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, and re injured himself somehow.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
It's so true. Okay, close games. I like it.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Okay, I will add that.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
And Jake, oh or Baker is the best.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Baker is the best. We're gonna get plenty of opportunities
for we need Baker to have like an iconic Baker moment.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Another one, Yeah, another one.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
The following message is transmitted at the request of the
United States government. This is not a test. A nuclear
attack was commenced against the United States.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Jake, you know that sound means I was shooting myself.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
I know, because you're so excited for the segment that's
about to start.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yes, I ta't no idea what's happened.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
I I no one else does either. But what we
are going to do is a segment that we have
to do today.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
Jake.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
First off, let's introduce the segment by talking about Wressel Palooza.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Okay, oh god yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Wrea first WWE event on ESPN. I'm not sure if
you saw this, but uh, someone named Andreas Hale for
ESPN did a grading of the event, the first event
by ESPN. Big news, right, it was a big thing
for ESPN. Rated their own thing. Yes, grated their own

(36:29):
thing a c SO company man to be sure. So
what I want to give.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Them props for some integrity.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
I mean, that's fair, that's fair. He's not impressed. Yeah,
so that's fine. What I took from this is that
ESPN is so bad that no one likes ESPN, including
people from ESPN.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Oh. I'm really pissed about this. I can't wait for
the segment. I just want to say out loud. I
find I'm not going to watch anymore wrestling. God damn it,
because like I can't figure out, I'm not gonna get
a ESPN Plus.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (37:03):
I don't think it's even ESPN Plus, is it?

Speaker 3 (37:05):
It's an ESPN app, but you have to have to
add on if you get a ESPN Plus before, it's
already in. If you get it now, you have to
pay extra with it.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh so I did have it. I didn't even attempt
because I thought I had to pay extra to watch it.
So I just watched a couple of clips from brock
Lesseners and I was fine.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
I know, I'm gonna have to figure it out. But
she God damn it, they're gonna get us for the rumble.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Yeah true. I mean I'm in. I got the Disney
Plus bundle. We're good to go.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
I could watch Raw on Netflix. Jesus fucking Christ, can't
I What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Yeah, you know what, they needed more money, Good on them.
But ESPN has been so bad, Jake, So what we
are going to do is just completely make our own
sports network.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
We're gonna go hour by hour because I just want
to prove how easy this is. We can make a
sports network that's not tough to do. And and before
anyone says and we're not gonna do anything stupid like oh,
we're gonna have a show that gives away one hundred
million dollars, even though Disney could do that, We're not
gonna do that. Everything we're gonna do is realistic. But
everything we can do we have the money to do.

(38:09):
We're just assuming we have Disney money. Okay, Disney money.
Disney talent, and so we can jump around, but we're
just gonna fill every hour of the show, and I'm
gonna start with where we obviously should start, and that's
with SVP, because we know we're having a SVP doing
Sports Center, right, Yeah, Okay, what time does he normally

(38:32):
do that? Bad?

Speaker 3 (38:33):
It's like it's a crazy thing to be He starts
at ten pm.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Ten pm, So we're gonna go SVP Sports Center.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
Let me check. I think I'm wrong right away. I
actually think it's eleven pm, midnight Eastern.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Uh, that's probably right, that feels right. It's always after
the game. Yeah, so eleven This is what I immediately propose,
because everybody likes SVP. Everybody, yeah, likes his Sports Center.
You know what?

Speaker 3 (39:04):
The ten thirty sorry, tenth third, fine.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
We'll count as eleven. We're fine, thank you. The easiest
thing to do is this, Jake ready, I'm going to
go control C and we're also going to air that
at seven am because people who watched it at eleven pm,
we're up. The people who missed it are up to
watch that at seven am. And it's just a recap
of the previous day anyway, Like that's what the easiest

(39:31):
thing to do is.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Can I make one suggestion? Sure these are all central times? Yeah, yeah,
thank you our people, you know, working class.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
And know there's another time zone. Make it six Okay,
that's fine. Yeah, but I mean truthfully, like, is anyone
going to be upset? Like, ah, why do you have
SVP on again? Like? No, one's upset by that? No,
And I want to see the bad beats. Everyone wants
to watch this. There isn't really clips, so.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Like him talk such a win. Yeah, yes, easiest thing.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
I think, honestly, one of the only things that on
ESPN that is potentially good. Whether you like it or not,
I think it's a good piece of programming. I think
Get Up is good. I don't watch it. I don't
necessarily enjoy the people on it. I'm not saying we
have to have those same people.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
But the concept is good. Can I make a suggestion,
because it clearly should just be Mike and Mike.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
It just fantastic. I like that too.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
And those mics, by the way, both named Golic. It's
senior and junior. Yeah too, Mike and Mike uh Golic
And by the way, same panel on can you imagine
Mike and Mike Golick also hosting a panel that's got
Damien Woody, Rex Ryan and uh Ryan Clark on Electric

(41:00):
It be terrific, Dan or Lawski.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Dad can stop it and get bullied of the leave.
That's fine. This is multiple hours, right.

Speaker 3 (41:11):
Yes, that one actually goes all the way until nine am.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, okay, so boom like that done, and.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Then they have another two hour block that I would
suggest we keep. We could change the thing. The issue
is not the first take. It's bad. It's just everything
has become first take. That correct, you're correct, so first
take can stay.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
I agree, I fully agree, and it's good for clips
like first take as its own thing is good. To
your point, everything being first take is bad. And this
is two hours I assume as well. Okay, great, Like
how quickly we're going here? Now. ESPN is trying to

(42:00):
buy a bunch of games. They want to have as
many games as possible. I think on our Sports Center,
on not Sports Center, our Sports network, every day we
just have one game, yeah, whatever the featured game is,
and we're building up to it, we're talking about it,
we're doing all of that. So I think that would
be what eight to ten, seven to nine.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
It would be let me do this, Yeah, eight to ten, Nope,
seven to nine, yeah, seven and nine.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Well, this is this is why I ask, like, seven
to nine. Do we want it to lead up to
SVP or do we want to have something before SVP?

Speaker 3 (42:40):
We can move SVP.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
Uh, we absolutely could. He would love that he could
get some night's sleep.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Technically he starts it, yeah, cause he's ten thirty, so
let's call it ten.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Okay, so seven to nine, so we got featured game.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
And technically it actually would be seven to ten, right,
three hours?

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah, yep, yep, yep, and then SVP ten to eleven.
See how easy this is. We're already we're cooking, We
already have a delightful day. Yeah, okay, I have more ideas,
But what else do you got?

Speaker 3 (43:13):
I'm trying to think somewhere in this because here's what
you gotta. Do you need something that sickos are watching
in the middle of the.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Day, true, true, I have a great idea for this.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
I wonder if it's going to be the same one.
This isn't an ESPN show, but this ip is out there.
They own it because it's on the ESPN. Plus the
fact that of all of the shows we've remade and
listen rest in peace to a legend. He can't do it,
but we can still do this tastefully. The fact that
Sports Science isn't a continued like this is gonna air

(43:50):
at one pm?

Speaker 2 (43:52):
You know, did he die?

Speaker 3 (43:54):
He's passed away? Yes?

Speaker 2 (43:56):
Crazy, Okay, I think, ah, okay, let's do let's do
an episode on that. Do you think that is a
middle of the day thing or do you think that's
a late night thing. I agree, we need to have it.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
I well, in my head, replays are for sure playing
late at night.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Sure, that's true. We can do great replays at night
for the people who work nights. For all of that.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, that was kind of my thought, is like how
much original content are you having late? But I'm open
to it. I hadn't picked out a time slot, but yes,
sport Science is evergreen. I still watch clips of ray
Lewis running into sumo wrestlers.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
True. The other thing that I think is evergreen that
we will put on probably late night. I put Sports
Science here, We'll put it wherever we think makes sense.
At some point, Yeah, probably in the early afternoon somewhere.
I think you can do a thirty for thirty every day,
some sort of documentary at night.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yes, does that offset games? Or we always have a game?
We can do that, we can always Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Yes it does. I'm not it always has to be
the same sport. We could have Mondays, be this, we
have Tuesdays or this. I think at night. I think
late night, like, honestly, maybe after SVP or something that's good,
we have a thirty for thirty or somewhaever documentary. Now
I think after first take, I do like the idea

(45:21):
of the fun sports show where a lot of athletes
go on, whether it's LeBatard, whether it's McAfee. I'm not
saying we define it as that. I'm just saying it's
the fun sports talk show. I got first take or
yelling at people, we have the thing that people are
watching in the middle of the day, because clearly that's working, correct.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Do you clip it up people stream it? Do you
do that before lunch or after lunch? Because McAfee's like
one to.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Three, McAfee's eleven to two.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Well, also he's doing four fucking hours. We don't need
to do that.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
No, I think another two hour block.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, And I think, yeah, let's let's put in talk show.
You can write McAfee. I think that's fair.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
I just think fun sports talk. I think I think
it is what it is. I think that's whatever. Yeah,
I think the middle of the day and this is
something that is fully missing from all sports shows sports
networks that I think would do well is like getting
in the weeds with sports shit. Like if we had
a football show hosted by a coach breaking down this

(46:25):
and then have.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
Like specific shows you've nailed, yes, yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Have a football block, a basketball block, a baseball block.
You probably could do all three every day. Yeah, honestly
correct their perennial Yes, uh yeah, we'll just do I think.

Speaker 3 (46:42):
You around the times, depending on the season.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
True, let's go sports science here. We have a fun
sports talk leading in the sports science. We're having a
great time at lunch. Okay, then we have NFL film
breakdown essentially or NFL coach show.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Yeah, in my mind it's paige On Grood of whatever
he wants.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
Right right, uh paste ten van Gundy obviously. Yeah, base
MLB I think could be great too, don't you think it?

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Literally whatever you think of it, Like you're saying it
was enough that John Boys like the third largest sports
media related company in the world now, and all they
do is talk baseball because no one else was doing it.
So yeah, just give them a show every day, and
maybe that'd be the only thing I watch.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Right right, But and then I don't even think you
need to mess around the times. I just think, like,
you know, two o'clock's the NFL hour. Yeah, at three
o'clock's the NBA hour. And I know if I tune
in for the NBA hour, I don't need to hear
about Jerry Jones. We're getting in the weeds about this
basketball thing.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
I would move this. I would I would actually move
all three of these out. Get rid of Sports Science
for now, okay, because that way all of these are
in the middle of the day, people can watch them
back later. But then we have a block open for
our after school crab.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
True, and that would be great for sports Science. Don't
you think.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
I'm gonna throw another oldie but goodie on here. I
don't get why ESPN stopped doing the show. I sincerely
don't it should be Sports Nation. Sports Nation's good. Yeah,
maybe it don't like that's the fun clips from the day,
or it's like I don't know, it could be that
or some version of that, or part of my take

(48:29):
where it's like, yes, give me a version of sports
that synthesizes things to a half hour or an hour.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
I agree. The other thing I propose is having sports
related game shows.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Duh, stump to shrub. Can't believe it doesn't still exist. Yeah,
but you can do.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
You can do.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Just before we came on here.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
True, that is true. And speaking of wheel, yeah, one
of the greatest things, Jane, that we have ever done
on the show is we sat here and we just
named players we haven't thought about in years. What if
it's a wheel of fortune. You it's a blank name,
blank name for blank team.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
You know it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
Then whoever guesses it, they come out all Willfork walks out.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Yeah, Disney owns that. By the way, they can do
that now.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
I would love to see it all of a sudden like,
oh my god, it's the Brickishop Ferguson, bring them out, yes,
so that he walks out. That's great, right, I have.

Speaker 3 (49:29):
I have a pitch here. I know we've got some
good stuff on the side. I will pitch it's a
sports game show. You put that right in at six o'clock. Great,
you could do a different one, either two or four
times a year, you know, rotate them through seasons. So
I think.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
I think one thing we should have before the game
is a betting show.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
So okay, and that goes always before the games.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
I think so because they we talk about before other games,
but then they're definitely talking about the featured game. They're
hyping it up. It's the pre show for the game.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Betting goes there. Okay, Yeah, I think that's probably what
you want to lead into it. Well, I mean, yeah,
do you.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Do because the name show, I think it's I think
it probably could be like a half an hour, half
an hour.

Speaker 3 (50:22):
Yeah, they do betting slash pre game No, for sure,
because it's the same deal because it tells you what
the bet on the games, even that you're not showing.
Same with the pregame. It talks about all the games
happening that night, great.

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Great interviews, whatever. It's preparing you for this featured game.
And it's big because it's the featured game. We have
one game, and.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Do you do here's my question for four o'clock. Do
you do at four Sports Nation? Is a more fun
sports center or do you do another sports center?

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I think if more fun, because that's what Sports Nation
is is like sports you know, Sports Center with games.
I agree, I think that's good, So I.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Think that goes there. And then I think five o'clock
is your game show.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Yeah, I think so too.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
And then like you were saying, I think we're canceling
part of my take, boom done. But you know what
part of my take should be? Part of my take
should be one of those content specific shows. The part
of my takes should always cover basketball. Michael Wilbon should

(51:38):
always cover basketball.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
Yeah, I could say that for a lot of these people,
they should just stay in their lane. That would be fantastic.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Like they're all good, but he's like one of the
only dudes where I'm like, you're very entertaining at that,
like just talk about it all the goddamn time. Yeah
it's not his fault, but I mean, do you do
every night or this rotate this like this eleven to
five am. I think, oh, actually, I know we're sports.

(52:09):
Sports Science would be great at five in the morning,
it would be great. But also there's a real chance
that five in the morning is you know, for the Sikos,
it's your it's mad, it's Matt Dog in the morning.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Honestly, Yeah, it should just be angry sports talk radio
show Collin Show, right, true, Colin, I agree. These are
the old people that are up. They're talking, they're up.
They just found out that their team lost at nine pm. Yeah,

(52:46):
and they want to talk about it. I agree. Now
we got eleven to four sports science goes in here.
We have at least one hour of documentary.

Speaker 3 (52:58):
Yeah, I think. And all of these can play at
different times, you know, and they they'll live on the
ESPN Plus. Go for it. I have other content that
I miss from back in the day, but I don't
know how much is new, Like does that work to
air original content at one in the morning. There's no

(53:19):
one actually watching that.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
I think it's fine because we have a digital product
as well. ESPN always acts like ESPN Plus doesn't exist. Yeah,
and that's why nobody watches it, because they act themselves
like it doesn't exist. So I'm fine airing it live
at the whatever time and then all of a sudden like, okay,
it's also on digital. You can watch it whenever you want.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
Another thing that's awesome for late night is World Series
of Poker.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Oh, actually put in another block we'll figure out where
to put it. Of uh, unfeatured game.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Very good.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
It's not the featured game, but it is either the
spelling or you know, the script spelling beats the World
Series of Poker. It's bass fishing. Yes.

Speaker 2 (54:07):
I also like the fact that it's like we we
spent up for this featured game, but then we can
also get the rights for the same game as everybody
else and just er it not live because we're just
bargain hunting, like we won't play the week one game now. No,
but you're right, it's the obscure sports. It bad basically.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
Yeah, I have a pitch for thirty for thirty.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Okay, we're not major, we'll go not major. Okay.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
I actually don't think we give a time block to
thirty for thirty officially okay. And I think instead we
do a movie a documentary like one night of the
week instead of a game, a featured game.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Okay, that's like a Wednesday night thing.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Yeah, honestly in my head, yeah, you would do the
math on when there isn't one in my brain. It's
actually I guess Friday has basketball some like.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Bass football too.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
Yeah, I mean there's always stuff like obviously, yeah, because
it's like Saturdays everything. So yeah, but like let's say
it's Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
Okay, Gus, Wednesday's a basketball night. I think we have
a game every day. Maybe it's Tuesday and put hockey on.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
Yeah, true, but I guess just like because that is
what they realistically do, and I don't think that doesn't
work right, Like I think if you're gonna air documentaries,
I don't think you actually air them for the first time.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
No, no, we're just putting our back catalog.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
I like movie Mondays, no Monday Night Football. Wait, hold on,
I'm back movie Mondays. Okay, eight months of the year.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
I mean yes, sure, Like you know.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
Let's recover a little bit because yeah, give the documentary
boys four months to make all of them.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Well. Also, I'm not sure if movie Monday takes the
place of a sports documentary though. That could be just
straight up movie.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
That could be talking MLB network. How many times have
I watched a league of their own?

Speaker 2 (56:17):
You know? Oh? Really? I didn't even they show that
on there.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
That's Oh, they have a baseball movie, zach a kid?
You not in the off season every night of the week. Good,
that's fine, And that's what it's good to it's smart,
like all those content specific ones should do that. NFL
network doesn't do that. They absolutely should, right, Rudy should
play every week? It should, Yeah, but remember the Titans

(56:41):
should play every week.

Speaker 2 (56:42):
Him should play every week? Why not?

Speaker 3 (56:44):
Oh you to talk about him yet? Yeah? Yeah, I
have to go watch it yet.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
But it is good. I liked it. People hate it.
I like it.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
You could do the same. Yeah, you don't want to
give up Saturdays, though, I think Monday's is good non
football thing there and that way we don't have to.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
But I don't think this replaces like the late night
documentary that people if they're up they can turn on
because there's so many people where it's just like I
just turned on a movie if it's three am.

Speaker 3 (57:09):
I don't know if you're gonna like this, I'm gonna
pitch that two to four is reruns.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
I think maybe for like I think a game show
should go late night, and if you think like three
am like a rerun. Though I'm not saying like we
have a back cattle.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Yeah, reruns for now, I'm with you. I'm with you,
but let's just call it reruns and it can be
a game show can you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Yeah, and uh yeah, and like that's also where reruns
of all of them go. That's why I think it
could be a couple of hours, because it's reruns of
the Game Show, it's reruns of Sports Science, it's reruns
of Uh I think SVP gets reruns.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Yeah no, no, because we got SVP up here. We
got two SVPs. Okaya, that's highlights. That's all of that
we built.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
I do like that we started with that too, did
we put in I think non major sports event should
be every night?

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Yeah, yeah, let's go here. It's probably like a two
hour event. Yeah, it would be my guest. And then
I do think we should do Sports Science. I think
that's its own great middle of the night thing. Yes,
And then we got one more. Should we really just
throw a loop for it or should we Like.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
So I actually have something that should live here, we
might have to maybe were well, also true if we
moved back everything one hour starting with non major sports event. Okay,
like if that aired so be late, no one would
watch it except for reruns or you know, you're up
in the middle of the night watch the poker or whatever,

(58:57):
But if we move it back one hour eleven o'clock.
They haven't quite figured this out, but I definitely definitely
think there is space for They used to do ESP
and you used to do middle of the night like
late night show stuff. They tried to do it with
Jason Kelsey too. Yeah, like a late night show. Yes, yeah,

(59:19):
and it should be Katie Nollen.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
Oh, true, that would work. That is that too late
for it? Even at eleven?

Speaker 3 (59:29):
I don't think so. It's it's essentially the same. It's
the same time siod as Seth Myers, is it okay? Yeah,
I think he's midnight Eastern eleven o'clock Central.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
Okay, I'm fine, I won't yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine
with that. So late night sports talk show.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
I'm actually off by half an hour because it's like,
you know, the primary late night show for most networks,
which you know, if they still happen, it happens ten
thirty to eleven thirty, and then the second one starts
eleven thirty to midnight thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
And honestly, like some of these will probably be a
half an hour, like these shows, probably this is probably
we could do an hour and a half make each
of those thirty minutes or something and then everything shifts up.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Get me my Classic Sports Center at noon.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Yeah that works too, Yeah, this works. This is not
just first take this and tell your part, you know
what I mean, if you.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Are doing we could fix this. By the way, if
ESPN is listening, which I know they are some mickey
mouse replacing just doing like making your sports center to
content like not Like I can't believe that all of
their like football shows, basketball shows are all debate shows,

(01:01:03):
right do they have the content right? But they've got
it wrong, Like they should all be game analysis.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Yeah, game analysis or predictive like review or preview. It's all.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Yeah, we got to stop debating stuff we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Everyone knows it works when people didn't know the formula
we have everyone true, true, but when everyone now just
sees it as and whether it's correct or not. But
no matter what, at least fifty percent of the audience
sees every first take segment and says that it's a
manufactured argument and it's mostly true, where it's like, Okay,

(01:01:45):
the person on this side doesn't actually believe that they're arguing.
They created an argument that doesn't exist. Yeah, and they
did this last week as well. This exact topic.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
I even think you could. Now you got me thinking, like,
do you do we cut? Is first take one hour
and it's either another game show for the morning game
show Crab or is it like Numbers Never Lie, which
I guess you can make a game show but like
a general talk show a little later in the day.

(01:02:19):
But I actually like another game show better because listen,
I love the game show. Nothing hits better than prices
right in the morning.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
I agree. There's so many different types of sports game shows,
like legit game shows that you could do that would
be fantastic. Yeah, easy to do and everyone would love it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
They kind of that was why Highly Questionable was so.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Good, right, Yeah, it is just adjacent to that. It
just works.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Copy host one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Yeah. One can be truly just a sports trivia game
show and the other could be just something different game show.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
Yeah for sure. I like that that one's hosted by
Jason Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
Yes, yes, obviously, but this was not hard to do. Yeah,
free consultation. There you go, ESPN, just do this and
then I'll watch your channel again. I can't remember the
last time I turned on ESPN to watch it and
it wasn't a game. Yeah, that's it. I don't even

(01:03:19):
turn on SVP. SVP just appears after a game for me.
That's about it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
I have one more fun idea, okay, yep, trying to
figure out where to put it, so you tell me
where to put it. Maybe it's not regular, but I
do like, I think you could do weekly shows. Give
one hour to weekly shows that are the other sports.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Sure, non major sports talk.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
You mean Ariel Hawani gets one hour on Mondays? Yeah,
UFC Monday, WW gets an hour on Tuesdays?

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Is it wrong to say NFL gets an hour and
then NBA and MLB share this hour and then we
oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:05):
I'm also thinking like everything's an hour long. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
Saying, like NFL until it's not NFL season, I suppose,
and even.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Then we'll leave the NFL on. Yeah, I actually think
we leave it. Yeah, none.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Major sports talk. Yeah yeah, that's great.

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
And yeah, and I think you give an hour to
you know, you have a weekly soccer show, a weekly
UFC show, a weekly tennis show, a weekly w W show,
and one more, uh hockey, hockey, My bad, I say
tennis before hockey.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yes, And that's the problem. We need to celebrate hockey
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
Okay, what would it actually be? You get five because
weekend content. That's not you and me, that's Trevor and
Luke that are in charge of weekend content.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
But yeah, hockey, hockey, MMA, professional wrestling since they got that.
Now soccer, Yeah, you could combine.

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Let's be fair, they could combine UFC, WWE. I don't
think so they don't have to. They definitely don't, Okay,
so we'll give them separate. I agree, hockey, UFC, WWE,
and then the last one for sure. Yeah that's right, okay,
and then the last one you could do. By the way,
w w W NBA is covered with NBA, just to say.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Out, yeah, back basketball, yeah yeah, it could be a
rotating fun Friday. College football, well, college sports makes sense,
college football, college basketball once that's heating up, and then
college baseball when it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:05:49):
Yeah, college sports. I think that's good. And if you're
like we're not covering that enough, you can still cover
it in the talk shows.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Right, Yeah, the Olympics mixed in once that's going you
got X game stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
Yeah. I think the only thing I would say about
doing college sports I think you could almost we could
play around with this and figure out the nuances of it.
If we were doing it, do it. But I think
you could almost just have one that's like you give
the Shutdown full cast one hour every week for just
college football.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
That Guy's essentially what we're saying here is this block
is in the weeds legit sports.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Talk, and one of those hours is rotating, which I
like a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
I mean, truthfully, it could all be rotating. Is just
when it's that season, when it's one of the major
sports seasons, when it's you know, August, even July through February,
you know there's an NFL hour.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
And also ESPN. Yes, they should be doing this because
every sport we mentioned, ESPN has allowed they didn't have
to think of how many fucking cable sports networks there are,
and somehow they've allowed all these online companies to exist
because they've done such a bad job. Like I watch
wrestling content every day that should be on ESPN.

Speaker 2 (01:07:10):
Right, and now that they bought the rights for the
premium live events, do we think they're going to increase
their coverage?

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Well, but for the love of God, put an hour on.
It's not k fabe. It's the only thing I don't
think they're gonna do that is like I actually watch
people review the show. Put that one guy on who
is critical in his article I watch.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
I guess I watch or or bring back the Vince
McMahons show. Let him host the late night show, and no,
I would watch an underground if we have see mcmanity
does his entrance every night, I'm tuning in for that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
I listen. There are shows where I want. I want
John Cruden, I want the football dudes talking football, and
then every once in a while, I want to show
like SVP where it's like someone who knows you know,
they're not in it. I want someone to just like
talk about it. I want that. That's what I want.
For wrestling is like, as soon as I see a
wrestler on my screen, I'm out, Like I'm like, I

(01:08:06):
don't what's the undertaker gonna say?

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Besides, you know you want me to kimes on there
to say like, oh my god, did you see what
happened on Raw and tries to explain it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
Or I don't want them to do analysis. Let me
give a plug for something that doesn't need a plug.
One of my favorite things to do. You know how
much I love it, plug a bigger platforms. It's mostly
plug for us. If folks who have not seen this
yet wwe like they always do, stumbled on gold. They
gave Cody Rhoads a YouTube talk show on his bus

(01:08:39):
where he interviews one other wrestler. Okay, it's fucking electric.
It's so good because they just do stories, don't talk
about the rest like I wanted to see non wrestlers
break it down so I can actually hear if it's
worth my time.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
Sure that works, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
You know, but Cody Rhoads talking to Kevin Owens for
two hours out how big show broke, broke several chairs
and they kept going to restaurants and he kept breaking seats.
It's electric, and they drinked while they do it. That
should be a show. And that's good too, So you
can do that. But sincerely, if people haven't watched that, Zach,
you should definitely watch it. Cody Roads Kevin, Oh, it's

(01:09:16):
one that's unbelievable. It's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Okay, I will absolutely do that.

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
But that often made me my new sorry before we go,
my new favorite saying that I don't think most of
my folks get which is Cody often quotes I think
Bruce Pritchard. I don't know who he's quoting, but he
always says someone gives him a hard time because he
was in the match and he was like, you didn't
have to hit me with another move, man. I was
already down and Cody, I guess, picked him up and

(01:09:41):
hit him again. He's like, Hogan must pose. You know,
he's basically citing like in the nineties, like like Hogan
kept interrupting meetings and adding five minutes to the programming block.
That just said Hogan must pose. Now that's my favorite
thing to quote. My staff is like, why did you
talk about yourself for ten minutes of the meek Hogan
must pos? True?

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
That works. I took that off the screen because I
just remembered we are doing our wheel and I need
to get the tier list up. So I just got
that up. We are good to go. Jake explain to
them the wheel while I get this fully set up here.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
The Wheel of content, for those wondering, is samon that
we've done every week for many many years. We are
ranking random things in the NFL. The wheel decides what
we are ranking that week, but you can rest assured
we are ranking your favorite NFL topics, both football related
and football adjacent. For example, last week we ranked teams

(01:10:44):
we would most like to get a beer with, so
content like that. We may rank quarterbacks as we did earlier,
but in more detail. So that is the rankings here.
If you have things that you would like to be ranked,
please get them in the chat. Like our friend Jacob Thorson,
who assac as you're pulling it up in team super Flex,
would you trade Fields and Chase Brown for Garrett Wilson
and Pollard.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Fields and Chase Brown for Gear Wilson Pollard. Yes, yes,
I would Gearrett of Chase Brown in Fields.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Yeah, okay, right, thank you for those in the chat.
Today's show is sponsored by AT and T.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
I wish give us AT and T money and we'll
start our own sports network like we just talked about.
So yes, everyone's doing their own version of NFL Power rankings,
and this is our version of NFL Power rankings. We
are going to rank the top ten NFL teams this
week based on as the wheel, oh, most likely to

(01:11:50):
win a Super Bowl? Okay, fine, bye, yeah, you know what.
It's not traditional power rankings though, it is just winning
a Super Bowl. We're not talking about what they're doing
right now. Does not matter.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
Win a super Bowl this year, win a Super.

Speaker 2 (01:12:05):
Bowl this year, who is most likely? Let's throw them.

Speaker 3 (01:12:08):
We're gonna toss teams out like Roden tomatoes. Here we go.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Okay, yes, so let's just throw ten teams on the board.
We know Eagles are up there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Yeah, get the all the AFC teams up there.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Let's go Chiefs, AFC, Chiefs, Bills.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
Above yet Ravens Taporo.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
Oh yeah. We should group it based on an I
guess Packers are up there, Lions. Are the Steelers up there?

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
I don't think they're an automatic top ten for me?

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
Are the Broncos up there? The Buccaneers are Buccaneers?

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Are Chargers?

Speaker 2 (01:12:52):
Are Chargers are.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
Rams?

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
I think Rams are up there if they're healthy, I
think their contender.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
If we do five and five, let's do one more
AFC team then it is probably.

Speaker 2 (01:13:05):
Think I don't think it needs to be even.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
Yeah, but I mean the AFS is better. I feel
like there should be another AFC team.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Okay, but so Cowboy no Jaggs, no Texans, no Bears,
no Broncos. I think maybe Vikings, maybe Dolphins, No Steelers,
maybe Raiders, no Colt Snow Commanders, no Saints, no Giants,
snow Titans, no Seahawks. Maybe Patriots now Cardinals, no Panthers,
no Falcons, no jetsnow Niners. I think no, they just

(01:13:37):
left Joey nick Bosa for the year. Browns no Bengals No.

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
So then I think Steelers. Oh you go Broncoska.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
I was just putting all the maybe's there. Dolphins, Yep, Dolphins,
Steelers is fine. That works for me. It's Rogers, it's
t J.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
Watt. You know they could add another person. Okay, yeah,
I just I agree. I'm open to conversation if we
pop and drop anybody else. But I mean that looks
right to me.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Yeah, I think that's completely fair. Top ten teams most
likely to win a Super Bowl? Do you have a
feeling of most or least likely that we can start
sorting these quickly?

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
I think Steelers are ten based on our hym han fair,
I think uh.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
I think Eagles are near the top.

Speaker 3 (01:14:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot about top. Eagles are near
the top. Yep, Ravens and Bills are near the top. Okay,
so are the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Just near the top on Yep, I think this is
a fair bottom.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
Yeah, we're gonna decide which of the NFC North teams
is lower. But yeah, I would leave the Rams down
at nine just due to injuries and shit.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Yeah, yep. Then the Packers. You can't lose to the
Browns and then be above seven.

Speaker 3 (01:15:02):
Hey, don't you College Football Conference?

Speaker 2 (01:15:04):
Me?

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
Though they beat the.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
Lions, it doesn't matter the Lions.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
True, it's Power Kings, It's Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:15:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Lions didn't know where to line up Packers.
Their offensive line is hurt, and then they throw them
out there against Miles Garrett.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
I don't know if we're at this level of niche yet.
I personally would still put the Packers about the Buccaneers
for winning a Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
You think Baker is going to be that low in
the playoffs. I don't know, man, I just don't hate
their teams. Is round I Okay, the Packers haven't won
a game yet. The Buccaneers have won them, like the
Packers have been in the lead when the games have ended,
they've won.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
I agree. I would say of this group in the middle,
I would have the Lions the highest.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
Charger, second highest charge your second highest for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
I just listen super Bowl with the Chargers got to
win a playoff game first. I just can't put you
have too many teams one, two, three, four, five, six,
Steelers out? Wait, don't we have ten? Yeah we're good?

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:16:16):
Four up top?

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
Awful?

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
How about so bad account of Okay, Steelers out? Everyone
moves down one. Thank you for your service.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
Yep, sorry Steelers, you did make it. Okay, these aren't
worded yet, but yeah, okay, we agree on this though, Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
Yeah, do you agree on the Chargers and Lions. I
just don't think I can pick the Chargers and win
a Super Bowl because they're the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
Right, I agree? I agree, I if I'm putting a
belief in somebody. The Lions have continued to build something
every year, so you would assume they take another step forward.
Chargers are going to Chargers.

Speaker 3 (01:16:55):
Yeah, I of this group up top, unless you disagree,
I have Eagles one.

Speaker 2 (01:17:01):
I agree. What they did yesterday was I think prove that.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
Yeah, this is interesting. I just don't think not a
bad way. I think you can order these next three
any way you want. I don't think you and I
agree on it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
So okay, I think there's a clear two. I don't
know about three and four.

Speaker 3 (01:17:18):
You and I don't agree about the two, but I'll
give it to you. Let's say it's the Ravens. M
you think it is the Bills.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
Nope, I think Bills are four.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
Oh, I know it was like you and I don't
agree on the Bills at all. Okay, I am with you.
I'm willing to give it to the Chiefs. Agree like, yes,
this was what I was getting it. I don't think
I like the Bills more than I like the Ravens
this year, but.

Speaker 2 (01:17:43):
I the only thing we know about the Bills and Ravens, though,
is that they're good in the regular season and they
lose in the playoffs. That's the only thing we know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:52):
I totally agree about putting the Chiefs above them for
the reason I think that's a good call.

Speaker 2 (01:17:57):
I wasn't really ordering these two, however.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Yeah, I think for winning a Super Bowl. No, I
still know I'll go with the I'll go Ravens.

Speaker 2 (01:18:08):
Okay, I don't. I don't care either way. Bills are
a team of destiny. I've heard it from a lot
of people for a lot of years, for many years,
many years, and one of these years they could be correct,
So maybe it's this year they got hard knocks. DeMar
Hamlin died a couple of years ago for some reason.
That makes him a team of destiny for this year.
Josh Allen just won MVP. Yeah, they got Khalil Shakira.

(01:18:32):
That's something I guess.

Speaker 3 (01:18:35):
Let's just go with history for now, and let's just
say that no team statistically has a worst chance of
winning the Super Bowl than the Bills do. So yeah,
we'll do. We'll do Bills. For My last question with
this list, because I feel good about it, then, is
if we were I'm taking out of context in it's
week three, and I'm just saying that if this was

(01:18:58):
three weeks ago, I would have the line higher. I'm okay,
not doing that now, but I'm checking in on that
because that would be the only thing is a few
weeks ago, I would have had them probably no higher
than three, but I would have maybe had them up
a spot or two just because the NFC is more
wide open.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
But uh, I agree, I think tonight will tell us
a lot. Again, we're ranking this before the Lions and
Ravens game because the Lions are on the road playing
a good team.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
Should we we agree gentlemen's agreement that this flips if
Lions win tonight and then Ravens are five and Lions
are three.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
Yeah, Honestly, if the Ravens don't win tonight, I'm not
sure if Lamar Jackson can ever win a big game.

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
It's true, by the way, and I hear you out there.
I can hear you right now, Chargers fans, I get it.
It's literally nothing you could have done better by this point.
But yeah, you're the Chargers, so you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
You guys just lost nausee.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
Hear this.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
That has to count for something.

Speaker 3 (01:19:56):
It's got I know he's not your problem anymore, but
I think that's gotta resound with his former teammates.

Speaker 2 (01:20:04):
It does, it does. I don't know. Has Harbot Okay,
never mind horrible every bed to the super Bowl? He
has has Herbert nor super Bowl? No that big gym correct? No, Yeah,

(01:20:24):
that's true. John Harbaugh is the better Harball, even though
Ravens fans definitely want him fired for some reason.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Oh, add that to the wheel for a future week.
Is most hated coach by their home fan base.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Oh that's good. Yeah, we we'll definitely add that if
you have any other suggestions, it is a weird list.
If you have any other suggestions for the Wheel for
things for us to rank in the future, definitely comment
them below and they will be added to the wheel again.
We are ranking the top ten NFL teams on a
particular thing last week and go watch the video on

(01:21:00):
the Floury Sports YouTube channel. We rank the top ten
teams based on the teams we want to share a
beer with. Spoiler alert, the Bills didn't make the top ten.
Go and look and see who made the top ten.
But our top ten teams for most likely to win
the Super Bowl the Eagles, the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Bills,
the Lions, the Chargers, the Packers, the Bucks, and the Rams.

(01:21:21):
I feel good about this list, don't you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:25):
I feel really good about it. Sorry. I briefly looked
away because I was like, note that I from last week,
and then you hit me with the question. I feel
really good about it, and I appreciate folks feedback from
last week. I've never felt better about anything you've said
on the show than for getting a beer with the team.
Dan Campbell was enough to put the Lions on the list,
but amanra was enough to keep them from going any higher.

(01:21:48):
So true. Fortunately, I feel really good about this list
because I think blind you pick any of these teams
and I tell you the number we would give you
without comparing them, and it feels right Like if I
told you Packers are the seventh best team in the NFL,
you'd be like, yeah, Chargers are the six right, you know?

(01:22:09):
That feels like around there. The team I feel the
weirdest on is like, am I right in thinking I
actually feel weirdest about the Lions because that's not correct.
That's either too high or too low, I guess. But like,
if they win tonight, they should be higher and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
They will be.

Speaker 3 (01:22:29):
Yeah, they will be. We fix that, but I guess
they're the one where I'm like, I guess on paper,
I'm like, should the Chargers and Packers be above them? Maybe,
but if they win tonight, we'll be like, no, sir,
they're top They're top three team.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
I think they can switch with the Chargers. I just
don't think the Packers have the Super Bowl DNA yet,
Like I think the Lions just had the players. I
think the Packers have the players.

Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
Or the I just got to tell you the last
time the Packers lost a game where if you go
was blocked. They won the Super Bowl that year.

Speaker 2 (01:23:04):
Is that true?

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Yeah? I think I'm screwing up the wording of it.
But I saw like something something terrible happened yesterday, and
it was like last time this happened, they won a
Super Bowl. I've been seeing a lot of those.

Speaker 2 (01:23:15):
Okay, I think yeah, because I think they had a
field goal blocked two years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Yeah, I can't quite be right. I'm not gonna be
able to look it up. I thought about writing it
down and then didn't. And isn't that the story of
my life?

Speaker 2 (01:23:27):
Hey, that's the Flory Sports podcast. We thought about doing it,
did not do it, but let us know for next week.
Any other wheel suggestions, we will do that and we
will be back four week four to overreact to week
four and brank something else. You're welcome. That's right, Okay,

(01:23:48):
goodbye everybody. That's how we're reading. Yep, visual bit and goodbye.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
Fun nice of Sport's all safe day outside sports inside.

Speaker 3 (01:24:17):
Fuck you
