(00:09):
Ladies and gentlemen, let's get started. I have thought a lot in the
last twenty four hours. Tend toget your weekly sports fixed by the skin
of their teeth. They walk ordid you just ride in the whole thing
with sticks? Part dog dog parkdog dog dog dog boomshock alaca. Were
(00:33):
back in the building, boys andgirls. Yeah, three and like what
a matter of seven eight days?What the hell is today Wednesday? This
ain't no, this ain't no street, but this is closely we get to
a street, bro. This iswhat this is, what this is,
what it's all about, though,This is this is the O G style,
(00:53):
not s big homie and sticks though, getting it uh, getting it
all built in and and fired up, ready to go. In the words
of the nos big homie fired up. I'll never forget that back in the
day, the old school homie,when he wasn't so gray, it wasn't
so hobbled. He was fired upall the time. It was just for
minute at twenty eight, I wasjust fooling. Yeah. I was real
(01:17):
nice at this, yeah, andI was good at hiding. But yo,
is the heat here? Or isthe heat here? I had to
bring us there in order to feelit. You know what I mean.
It's live, it's going down.Well it's not live right now, but
it will be going live. Iam live. You should be lying.
Anybody whose ears is open without waxinghim should be live right now. Because
(01:38):
the NFL is here. NFL ishere, Mariners best team in baseball.
We're back. And you know whatelse is here, Homie, the NFL
season, which means it's time tocash some paper, brother, time to
(02:00):
cast out and give back. We'vebeen dabbling. We've been dabbling for what
three years now, dabbling here andthere, just weighing it out, kind
of getting the fields, see howthe script goes, but a lot longer
than that if we want to beprooful. But yeah, we're trying to
(02:21):
figure out the game in the inthe pro game, basically now having availability,
truly understanding ins and outs of pointsand the difference between minus one minus
one twenty five What does that meanto me? How much more am I
(02:42):
pain versus the risk I'm involving.So it's a lot of education and I'm
willing to take it on. Iknow you are, and it's been fun,
but it's been a danger. Mypockets and the bread that's in.
There is a endangered species must aswell, but this will be careful.
It's about the numbers, right,It's all about It's all about betting the
numbers and not betting what you reallyreally know is gonna happen and what you
(03:07):
like, you still got to getthe best number, am I right?
I mean that's what it is.See, this is the whole. This
is the one thing that we learnedearly on is we found out there's certain
people that regardless, they will notpay you to win or lose. So
therefore you can't go in there thinkingthat I love these guys. This is
(03:28):
a good guy, this is fandom. Oh they should be able to score
a touchdown and beat those guys,right, there are reasons for this,
Okay. So yeah, it's agood education. But I mean it's been
a good run, man, andI think I feel as getting better.
I don't know about you, butI feel as getting better. Last year
was a bunch of shannanigans that youwould never believe, you could never predict.
(03:53):
And it almost started week one,if I'm not mistaken, I was
a tray to tap out week one, if you remember, right, that's
because we went hard and we didn'tlisten to Jones and Aaron Jones, our
boy in Vegas, I says,week one and seventeen or whatever, it
is, no play, you know, he just sits it out. Watch
excuse me, But I don't havethat kind of lifestyle. I don't have
(04:14):
that kind of patience. I seethat, I see something I like,
and I want to get right in, especially after what we saw from last
year and what we saw from thisyear, and to bounce to bounce off
of that, as you were talkingabout, with learning the game a little
bit. College football is back tobaby and and with college football and baseball,
(04:38):
your boy right here, sticks hasknock on wood has been doing eye
the past month and a half.I don't believe that. I hear ye
proof I STI don't believe. Well, well, you know how, you
know how we do at home,and you and I together, we rolled
together. It's just been you didn'tYou didn't believe in in the stick shenanigans
(04:59):
that were popping off the last monthplus. You had it. You had
a lot of shit going on inyour in your life, so you know
you couldn't get down and and andget in on that. So but we
roll together. Through football season.That's how we do it. So every
many times have you tried to explainplaying baseball to me? And I still
don't get it? I still don'tthink you've actually explained it to me.
Still, so I've I think I'veexplained it to the you and the people
(05:21):

freaking weekend. Where are y'all at? I know you're talking, I was
talking speaking of college what I'm justgonna pop off with some college football.
You know what homie savorite seg is. Homie s favorite seg is what gets
you fired up? You know itgets me fired up right now? The
Florida State seminals. Maybe you didnot believe Jordan Travis wasn't even in the
(06:27):
Heisman top five before before Sunday nightwas falling, And I told you,
Now, what did I say?And I told you this is the first
year I'm gonna try to pay attentionto college football on a serious level because
of the situation with this being thelast West Coast Conference situation, or let's
call it what it is, PACten, PAC twelve conference old school style,
(06:49):
So that's going away, right,So I'm gonna dial into it and
see if I could find some edgesand it might be a fun year.
But I've told you, why thehill would a coach, a d anybody
like that throw a schedule right uptop five verse seven? This is bad?
This is exactly why, Because nobodywants to watch fucking the School of
(07:12):
the Death of blind play USC.What do you not advantageous for me?
Because look at what happens to oneloss teams. It's still not full playoffs
yet to where we all get inand then we get jumbled and then we
play each other. Right, Yeah, but the kind we've talked about this
homie, we've talked about in ncacollege basketball. We talked about how these
(07:35):
teams are getting better, you know, the sixteen seeds playing the one.
We talked about that football is gettingbetter. Well, it's getting more competitive
because of the transfer porter. Lookwhat Colorado did. Look what coach Prime
did, My guy, Coach Prime, Uh, look when he did talk
about with the transfer portal, andthat's where all these kids are starting to
(07:56):
do. Florida State has three guys. They were the best team, the
best players on their team that theygot from the transfer portal, the wide
receiver and I should have you know, I didn't have time to go through
the uh the thing. There wasa defensive guy, a wide receiver,
and then one other one other catwho were the three top players? That's
what I was saying. I can'tremember. I know one was from like
(08:16):
I think Old miss or Mississippi oryeah, Mississippi, and then there was
a couple other guys that were onyou get you get the transfer transfer portal
where it's gonna make it more competitive. You know, how do you think
do you think Colorado went from afucking twenty one point underdog or twenty two
(08:37):
whatever closed out at well? Ithink it started twenty two went down to
twenty one because if everybody was onthat, and then now they're ranked twenty
one in the in the in thetop twenty five. But again back to
my boy Jordan Travis. You know, everybody's sleeping. If y'all don't forget,
If y'all forgot, it's ten yearanniversary of almost sticks having the trifecta.
(09:01):
Okay, Okay, the Mariners,you know, obviously didn't happen.
Twenty thirteen Seahawks win the championship.The Lombardi and guests. Who won the
Natty that year, Jamis Winston.Oh okay, Okay, I probably should
(09:22):
fact check that, but I'm prettysure I only won the Natty. I'm
pretty sure it was Jamis. Thatwas a crableg debacle that year. I
think he won. He won something. He won the Heisman and the National
at some year. I don't knowwhat year was, but he won bo.
But my boys are back under MikeNorvelle. They're ready to go.
Uh Oh, what's that dude's name? Remember we talked about it last year,
(09:43):
the big defensive line coach, defensivecoordinator. Ohka, I should know
this. Anyways, he's still therepopping. He's still popping that d off.
Let's go. How are they gonnafeel when Coach Prime leaps frogs u
him an All Nation and becomes thehead coach of the Dallas Cowboys without even
(10:03):
doing nothing else. I respect CoachPrime, but I think he is not
gonna I think he has too muchanimosity against the NFL. I don't know
(10:24):
if he's I don't know if heeven wants to play that game with those
those clowns, those especially once hiskids get in in the NFL, I
think you know, what do youthink? I mean? You think he's
just gonna coach until his kids getout, and then once he's done,
once his kids get out, he'sall He's gonna wipe his hands clean and
enjoy life a little bit. Nowhe's getting paid well, hopefully Colorado decides
to pay him. They should bemaking enough money now today, are we
(10:46):
going to attempt to believe that halfof these coaches that never played a game
in the league, much less bea Hall of Famer. Yeah, I
mean world champion, all of thethat legendary can't coordinate a team CEO style.
I'm not saying shout out to anybodybut Mike Tomlin and saying he was
(11:11):
a horrible player, Like I mean, not a horrible player, but on
the scale, he wasn't making theleague. Everybody knows this. All of
those players like that Sean McVeigh.These dudes aren't making the league. They're
just playing. So therefore they geta lot of time holding the clipboard and
learning. And this is what happened. This guy's a leger. You trying
to tell me that guy can't ceoa team, a professional team with real
(11:33):
coaches, because you see what AaronGlenn and deuced do last year on the
field for the Lions, and whatwe see with the lot with the Jets
offensive coach OC what's my name Hackettand the DC out there talking about biting
people and all of this. Youknow what I mean? Those are the
people that are really coaching and settingthem strategy. Oh you're doing this saying
(11:54):
what plights we get on and you'retaking the camera time. Remind me to
remind me to talk about the coachingonce we get into the NFL season,
because I got a few things onthat too. When we start talking about
some over unders and our top fivepower ranking and you know teams that we
got going into opening weekend week one. Glad there's no week zero like college
(12:18):
football where nobody plays nobody then andas will be, because this week is
gonna be horrible because you see whathappening now, All of a sudden,
everybody's now practicing now where and they'regetting Now we're getting these injuries now.
The injury from Cooper Cup that happenedat the beginning of preseason now has all
(12:39):
lingered all the way to the forefront. Now we've got Travis Kelsey oops,
oh hyper extension. Bang bang.Now all of a sudden, my man
uh tearing Armstrong in Miami. Allof a sudden, his injury here from
the beginning of preseason is now allof a sudden not gonna allow him to
play. So now these teams areaffected seriously. Man and look, you
(13:00):
know what's going to happen Week one. I'm sitting everybody forward. The cheese
Goof is going on. I don'teven care if they lose, but my
boy Goof is about to show off. You remember what happened the last time.
He was an arrowhead fifty something tofifty something. And if you gonna
beat Goof, you better bat himdown with a bat because he's going down
heavy this year. Boy, he'sready with no Travis Kelsey, there's a
(13:24):
little there's a little NFL teaser foryou. But before we get into the
NFL, I have to put somethingout there real quick. We talked a
little bit college football. Had togive a sh to my boys and the
knowles, you know, going upfrom number eight to number four, the
things you dub oh now, they'rejust to keep oh No eight, number
(13:45):
eight to number two. When Isee two, no, I saw four,
but I think someone else hasn't beentwo. But that those are all
irrelevant right now because, like yousaid, we're not even in a playoff
atmosphere. And then the Huskies wentup rolled up too with their magnificent performance
against boy see State again again,you're boy cashed on that one. As
(14:07):
you know, Uh, we're doinga little college football thing. We're gonna
get in there, back in itthis weekend. But anyways, how to
give a shout out to those guys. What a college football weekend. It's
nice to be able to be homeon a Saturday and a Sunday and watch
those games. But before we getinto the NFL, I just want to
hit real quick on MLB. Youknow, there's not a lot to talk
(14:28):
about right now. Your Dodgers arekilling it, The Braids are killing the
National League. You got the Marinerskilling it. You got Julio on fire
hit two home runs again yesterday.Is that? Is that what's really happening
right now? Because I'm listening toyou guys, y'all is fired up,
and I don't know if they reallydoing some were not according to if there's
(14:50):
twenty seven games left, they're they'regoing twenty and seven, mark my words.
Right now. They're gonna figure itout. Their bullpen's been struggling a
little bit, but they're going twentyand even if there's twenty seven games left,
they're winning twenty of the next whatevergames there are, right So that's
just ten and well, what isthat nine? And nine and nine and
one the next two weeks and then, uh, you know, whatever games
(15:13):
are left, they're they're gonna wintwenty more games. They're gonna win the
Al West by uh, let's justmake it fun. Let's make it.
Let's make it one and a halfgames, because they do have I think
they have seven games against Texas andHouston left combined. I'd have to look
into that next week when we getinto the MLB, we'll talk a little
more about it. But anyways,just had to give big shouts some Mariners
(15:35):
and Julio and all the pitching andthey're going on. They are number they
are, like their whole pitching staffstill number two in era. And you
know they don't walk a lot ofpeople. But these motherfuckers still can't hit
with the bases loaded or runners inscoring positions. So let's figure that out.
Even though they went, you know, the whole month of August,
won twenty one games and all that, shape, still gotta learn how to
hit the bases with runners in scoringpositions. So but you know who can't
(15:58):
hit with runners and scoring position.Man of this you can't get just Man's
senior and I'm too small. Manyou'll never be able to get the man.
I don't even know where the CDis. Man, it's Stu Gold
and it's Stu waging Man two.I'm too sure. And I dodged the
rain drums. Yo, I'm tellingyou, I had to bring back the
(16:22):
senior everybody. But yeah, they'rethey're they just how how did the I
don't know what the Texas Rangers andand the Houston Astro series the last three
days has been one team won fourteento five, next day they got the
next team won sixteen to two,and then the next day the other team
(16:42):
won. Uh. I think itwas the Astro's one, uh, fourteen
to seven or some shit like that. Yea, Neither one of these guys
can pitch. Yeah, they canhit. They got their lucky charm back,
even though it's an old lucky charm. It's all crusty, dusty lucky
charm. But Verlander is back inthe Star uniform, so that means a
lot to them. Even if youdon't do anything good, which he has
(17:04):
done a couple of things good,but he hasn't done anything good all year,
so this gives him a chance tokind of feed off the little mojo.
Maybe his arm gets a little live, gets a little juice in it.
You never know, look out forthe strolls. I don't like the
age, but I'm willing what's gonnahappen. I'll tell you right now if
the Astros make it, If theAstros make it to the playoffs, that
(17:25):
dude's gonna come down with a poorlittle shoulder injury and just be like,
oh, I'm you know, Iheard my arm. He ain't made for
this, no more. He ain'tmade for no Mariners lineup, no more.
He ain't ready is as Homie likesto say, he ain't ready.
Dog, I'll mark my words rightnow. Verlander gets in there playoff Game
(17:48):
one in the against the Mariners.Playoff Game one, see yeah later,
won't even make it out of thefirst inning. What is the next pitch
man? Oh, that's the curvesside. Okay, let's go. This
dude pulls up his shirt. Wegotta get that on YouTube. There's a
clip for y'all to check out Homietrying to me. I like it though,
(18:11):
team too. There's an audio medium. I forgot what we need it.
We need to just throw it upthere. All right, brother,
let's get into some NFL since weonly got a few left. You want
to start off with I know youalready got your best bets ready, We'll
go. We'll go. Uh,we'll go over under, We'll go,
(18:33):
We'll go. You want to startwith your top five power rankings, then
go over under or your top tenpower rankings, then go over under,
and then we'll close it out withThursday Night best bets. Real quick,
we don't have we don't have playerprosper I think between you and I we
could probably just chum up a couplein our head because we kind of know
what the numbers are gonna be.In my head, I feel that we
kind of know what those could be. And I think either way, I
(18:56):
think it's a you know, easyto figure out until we get tomorrow,
and then I'll be at work tillsix o'clock. So we're gonna get all
these in in the afternoon tomorrow sometimeor get a couple. We'll have to
try to get a couple in.Yeah, well, I think real quick,
but I think what's more beneficial toget a people though. The top
is cool because everybody kind of knowswhat those guys are, but we've seen
(19:18):
a lot of wind totals, andwhat I was willing to go on the
line until the people, even afterI told y'all, is that I will
stand by. Okay, there's nono, no, no double digit win
team. Okay, nobody wins overdouble digits, so no eleven win team.
I'll say that, Okay. Sothat means I am willing to fade
(19:41):
directly the Eagles, the Bengals,the Buffalo Bills, and the Kansas City
Chiefs. Who I always would yousay, Philly, Who Cincinnati? Since
Buffalo, Buffalo, cac and SanFrancisco that goes without saying. Okay,
So San Francisco's ten and a half, Kansas City is eleven and a half
(20:03):
win total, so is Philadelphia.Cincinnati is also eleven and a half,
and Buffalo was ten and a half. Okay. I've thought that that's very
vital for people to know because Iwant y'all to understand that this parody in
these leagues. If y'all got fantasyfootball teams, y'all seeing these young quarterbacks
sitting that didn't get drafted, Iguarantee y'all gonna understand why these dudes are
gonna be factors in a minute.So that is very important. Now,
(20:26):
who's gonna be the over? Soif you look at all of those teams
are double digits, and I don'tthink that they're gonna hit. So who's
the big team that's gonna hit theunder? This or the over? This
might bring a smile to my voiceface right here. Out of surveying all
of the teams, I have selecteda hot well what to do at seven
(20:48):
that I think will hit the overout of all of them. I am
willing to go out on the women, put my face and words on the
line and tell you. I cantell you New Orleans at a number of
nine went five will be the oneteam that will surprise everybody. And they
are gonna win team games. They'renot win eleven because there's not gonna be
a ten team that wins eleven games, but they will win team games.
(21:11):
And that is your big bit.And I would suggest a lot of people
go out and see what the wintotal price is on that one, because
that one is one that if youlook at that division, Carolina Tampa Bay
in Atlanta, Okay, and theyare the only team with a solid lineup.
You talking about Michael Thomas coming back, Alvin Camara sitting on the bench,
(21:32):
suspended for four games. Then hecomes back in the mix while they
have the mojo, even though youcan't trust him first fantasy purposes, but
those are good reasons to look tohim. Here's here's a good reason.
Can I go Can I go off? Can I give you the quarterbacks that
the New Orleans defense, who finishedwhat top five last year in defense?
(21:52):
I believe who they're playing this ship. These are the quarterbacks that they're playing.
Shout out to Ari Barrov at mySports Update. We appreciate number one,
the lowest strength of schedule. Yeah, here's the quarterbacks. Just go.
I'll just roll through the list realquick. Tannon Hill, Young rookie,
Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield, MackJones, CJ. Stroud, rookie,
(22:15):
Trevor Lawrence, uh A R fifteen, Anthony Richardson, Justin Fields,
Kirk cousins By, Desmond Ritter,Jared Goff, Bryce Young, rookie,
Daniel Jones, Matthew Stafford, Baker, Mayfield, Desmond Ritter, a bunch
of guys that we put in thatcategory, that just a serviceable category.
(22:36):
They're not I like that over nineand a half easy. I mean,
they gotta win ten look at thedivision first of all, right, because
I mean they could run the tablein the division, could they not?
Okay? So that's my that's mything. If they have the possible they're
the only team I think they hadthe possibility to run the table in their
division. That gives them a legup. And then not to mention them
(23:00):
along with that, Minta also havethe two easiest schedules in the league.
So I thought that would be agood tidbit to give the people. We'll
talk about other stuff as we moveon, as we get into quarterbacks and
things like that. But what aboutThursday. We got a game tomorrow.
Man. I already talked about howI feel about goof Yeah, okay,
and my love for surf and turf, which is now taking it to the
(23:22):
Motor City. Jumped in his carand he's out there whipping the Lions like
Siegfried and Roy. Okay, they'replaying in Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead.
I got minus six and a half. Still you can get it under a
touchdown. Fifty four point five wasthe number of Detroit is plus two thirty.
Would you take a flyer on theplus two thirty? I don't even
(23:44):
know why I asked that question.You already know, docs, You already
know if we get plus two thirtyand put it in right now. I
don't know where Jones is at,but when Jones listens, he's gonna be
flying to his Vegas hot spot andputting that in because he'd probably get two
fifty. Uh. But yeah,I mean we're we're already in for we
(24:08):
get we got the plus six anda half. I see, guess where
the line is now? It's fiveunless it's less. It was five last
night when I looked, so itwas Is it four and a half now?
All day? And you know what, I'd take a flyer on on
the underdog. You know how Iam I overs and underdogs. What else
(24:29):
does your boy play over as anunderdog? And you and you got a
role? But there is go backreal quick to the college football plays.
I didn't know this until halfway throughthe first quarter. I guess on first
down the clock doesn't stop anymore?Uh? In college football? Yeah,
(24:52):
you have to look at that,because I'm pretty sure they said that the
clock doesn't stop anymore on first down. It keeps going. So when you
got these high over over totals,which let's all be realistic. If a
college football game hits the over,it hits the over by more than a
touchdown or two or whatever you believein it, it's double digits over right.
(25:17):
Very rarely are gonna get it overwhere you're gonna get a bad beat.
Well, there are bad beats obviouslyevery week, but not on the
games that a lot of not veryoften on the games that everybody plays.
Okay, so you're gonna get thosebad beats obviously, but yeah, look
at the clock. Find out whatthe college football rules are. I didn't
even know that. I think Iheard it halfway through, maybe even heard
(25:37):
it yesterday or now that you mentionedit. I think I heard an announcer
mentioned something about the way that theclock moves and when I was watching one
of these games, but too distracted. I was too distracted by all these
young boys who can't kiss. It'sway too when he drops out, Yeah
there are my boy. Jordan Trustwent through for five hundred yards in the
first half. If old boy couldhave got the ball, he was getting
(26:00):
robbed. Yo. But yeah,Chip Kelly went off on the halftime and
he's like, hey, you know, someone asked him a question. The
thing he said was, yeah,I hope you hope, You're all hope
ESPN is making a lot of moneyright now on those commercials or some shit
because they have, you know,a lot. And then I heard an
interview yesterday from Damn who was it, I can't remember, but he's like,
(26:26):
the oh it was. It wasthe Jake Dickert, the WSU coach.
He was talking about the first quarter. He's like, he didn't notice,
but in the second quarter they hadto stop play for like eight eight
different times so they could run commercials. Because he was asked the question about
the commercials and the or the firstdowns and shit or something, but there's
(26:48):
more commercials. Clock's not stop.I don't know what it was, but
it was crazy. But anyways,yeah, look at that. But yeah,
back to NFL All day Kansas Cityor not Kanzi all day fake in
the city. That's how I waslast year. But I think this is
a year to really fade. Youwere talking about over unders, Homie,
and I'm one hundred percent all inon the the under eleven and a half
(27:11):
or Casey. You said not alot of teams are gonna win. You
said, no teams, but aregonna get to ten, but you said
there are very minimal. If theydo get to ten, I take Jacksonville
over nine and a half. Ithink this is their year. Uh you
know, they still got Doug Petersonthere, and like you, I gotta
(27:33):
go with the Homer over under herebecause we were talking offline, me,
you and Barcott and what did Isay? They're Seahawks over unders nine and
a half. I think they winten easy whole. I don't know where
everybody's getting their San Francisco love from. This organization is a freaking disaster.
(28:00):
They don't know like we know.They don't know like we know. They
are a disaster and there and ahalf. I would take the under on
that all day, big time.And while you're on the topic, I
mean, that's what I'm saying.And then Nick Bosa's getting money, and
you know what happens with dudes getmoney. You see what you see what
happens every time. So I'm notconcerned with what they're doing over there.
(28:23):
I'm just hoping that y'all handle arelightweight because if we live brock Purty run
through this division again, how arewe gonna hold our heads high in the
West like this? While I'm sittinghere in the bungalow, you know,
and you're right there, you knowwhat I'm saying in blumen Field, rocking
it out and enjoying us. Wecan't walk and hold our heads high if
(28:45):
we let brock Purty do this.And brock Purty ain't gonna And and who's
brock Purty's backup? Sam Donald?Sam Donald played for him. Yeah he's
from USC, back in California.Whatever. But this dude has been a
travel traveling around, probably out ofthe league a few times. But brock
(29:07):
Purty and Sam Donald get rid ofyour number one, your first round draft
pick that you traded the farm forto get. Well, he wasn't no
good, right, but they justmade a bat. I mean, he's
he who could trust Christian McCaffrey,who could trust Deebo Samuel who just got
paid? Exactly? Who else didthey get? That was auk Is He's
(29:30):
been hurt. Okay, so hereis the beef. Now you know how
much I hate himself? Every timeI hear forty nine is my ears peak
up. I'm in the car theother day, and you know what I
hear after you said all of thesepeople are getting money? Nick Bosa just
gets money. But a couple ofdays ago, I hear, oh,
Brandon I has been on the cooltails of Kyle Shanahan again and they have
(29:52):
been buddies of the and he isso happy with the extra work. And
Deebo Samuel is potentially going to bephased out of the offense exactly. So
now we're talking about this dude's gonnabe shining over Debo. Who got the
money? It's going to happen.Watch they these reporters, these sideline reporters,
(30:15):
don't be getting his infro out ofnowhere. Yo, all right,
we got a few minutes left,but I gotta I gotta ask you something,
homie. You're Indianapolis Colts. Andthe only reason that I would like
to fade the over under of Sticksand a half, it's not because of
(30:37):
Anthony Richardson. It's not because ofthe Jonathan Taylor holdout. It's because does
this head coach have any idea whatin the sam hell he is doing?
What's his name, something stein Rackor some shit striking Stiken? Does he
(30:57):
I don't know any clue what thehell he is doing. He asked the
question, did you all drive here? Did you all take the bus here.
Oh no, I know that wasc. That was the Cardinals hit
HC. Oh that I don't knowwhissle with that guy? Well okay too,
(31:18):
I just sucked everything that didn't evengo tothing that put the stamp on
the fact that they're a training wreck. Okay, okay, so anyways,
what is it? Who is theSo it's still standing for the Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, he came andtook over first Saturday after they did all
that, so they got him fromthe Eagles staff. Okay, anyways,
I haven't heard anything from this guythen after I just made an ass out
(31:41):
of myself. But hey, that'swhat we do. We're live. We
just fuck around. And you know, I've gotta go look up that Jonathan
Gannon clip though he talked about forthe Arizona Cardinals. H C. Is
cringe worthy. Look it up.Okay, So all right, so anyways,
now that I just have to putmy head between my legs on that
one, Uh, what do yougot for some h We got the best
(32:02):
bet that we already put in.We want the plus six and a half,
which we got, we'd still probablytake it. Hey, y'll know,
we're gonna take the money. Line. Fuck, I'll fuck around and
take the plus four also because youknow it's gonna be a close game with
your boy goof firing up on allcylinders with Dan Campbell back there. Uh
(32:22):
so, So so there's one thatI'm I'm, I'm, I'm I want
to roll with because I think it'sgonna be pretty low because I haven't looked
at the depth chart, but JamarGibbs, the first round pick or their
first pick. Yeah, first roundpick is the RB one, right,
it's gotta be set it. It'sgotta be set like fifty eight maybe even
(32:45):
I don't even know if it'll beover fifty. But don't you think fifty
fifty eight? I mean, you'vegot i'm on ron st st Brown out
there, you got some weapons.But I think Dan Campbell picked this kid
for a reason, and I thinkthey kind I don't want to grind,
and they got rid of my boyJamal uh And and went to New Orleans.
Another reason why New Orleans is gonnawin ten games exactly. But I
(33:08):
think they're gonna give this kid therock, and he's very capable of breaking
one. So I would say,what do you what do you say?
I mean, am I wrong thatmaybe it only be fifty four fifty eight
yards. Okay, here's the question. So here's the thing with if you're
looking at rush yards, who Jamirgives they also have a singletary there and
from word on the street is wordon the street is ground and pounding.
(33:30):
My man, Jamire gives is untilthey get some hands for goof reliable hands
to go with Ama Saint Brown hthen he may be running some special tactics
for them alongside what he normally does. This is what I hear, and
(33:51):
singletary will be getting more of thepounds, a little bit of this thunder
and lightning type of activity. Wordon the street says, I don't know
what they're going to actually do,but if you get the ball in this
kid's hand in open field, injust the wheel route, the little jump
off out of the backfield screen outthe back, it's gonna be magic.
So I would look for his receivingyards and see if they are low.
(34:15):
I can't set a number because I'mnot, you know, sure about that,
but since I heard that two,this should be safe. Yo,
I'm it's good that this kid couldhave. Is it not inconceivable that this
kid could have four receptions or threeor four receptions for thirty five forty yards
(34:36):
along with his rushing yards. Solook at exactly that's what I'm saying.
So it's not inconceivable that that's theway that he scores. So look at
look at that too. Another trendthat I want to bring up from last
year. Y'all remember how slow Caseystarts in these games. Yo, They
always start off slow. They giveeverybody a jump start, and then they
(34:59):
start acting I like Muhammad Ali outhere, it becomes rope of dope.
So first half Detroit, because numberone, Casey is packing a a defense,
but a little fat defense. Somy man just is he My man's
angry. He's trying to get paid, okay with what's my man's name,
Chris uh Clark Jones Jones, Yeah, but yeah, he's trying to get
(35:23):
paid. Kelsey's out. They gottaflury with it. They don't know who
they're gonna give the ball to.But Patrick Mahomes doesn't care who he gives
the ball too, so he willmake somebody famous on tomorrow. But I'm
thinking about the defense, and lookthe first half Detroitcy. If your numbers
juicy I'm not gonna tell you whatto look because I haven't looked at what
the first half is, but that'sa good place to go. First half
(35:44):
over Hey, who's this? Who'sthe second half team every year that we
rolled with every the last two years. Second half? You gotta kill him
down, you gotta kill him.I'm telling you, you gotta step into
the lyon Troy and you got Ikilled these boys if you want to beat
them. I mean all year youlooked at the stats and it was so
(36:05):
obvious by less than a touchdown orwhatever, it was the highest point differential.
But they just was catching bad lossesto people they barely lost and things
like this. So yo, Igotta go see what's up with this last
episode of Hard Knocks man, becauseI do have the Jets on the oside,
on the overside, and I don'twant to that to miss. If
anybody wants to know who I whoelse I had on the overside, I
(36:29):
did call signed Seattle on the overside. I also have Pittsburgh on the overside.
Oh yep, I like that one. I had that one. I
have Cleveland on the overside, whichis strange to have, but I think
the numbers that are over there.If I remember correctly, Cleveland's only got
Pittsburgh's only got an eight and ahalf. If I remember correctly, let
me give it nine and a half, Pitsburg, no. Eight nap,
(36:52):
eight nap if you're right, eightand a half. Because so I like
that as a good, solid ninewin team, and the Cleveland will be
another ten win team. This iswhat I mean. There's gonna be a
lock of ten win team. SoI don't know how this playoffs are gonna
work out. And you know what, I also have because of Indianapolis's problems.
Tennessee, even though they're horrible andI hate them, and I think
(37:13):
Jacksonville's gonna run away at that division, Tennessee can win, Derrick Henry cole
Why can I see not win eightgames? The number seven and a half?
What reason could Derek or Derrick Henryand Malik Willis and a little bit
of growth if they decide to sackwasn't it? What is the chance that
will Levis and Derek Henry cannot getthem eight wins? I don't care if
(37:37):
ten let me put let me putyou on the spot real quick home.
Even then they're gonna close this out. I'm a'm i ron St Brown over
under eighty nine and a half yardstomorrow Russian total. Oh, I'm a
ron St Brown receiving over receiving tboy goof over eighty nine. Yeah,
(38:01):
I can't imagine it being higher thanthat. H No, I under with
your boy goof throwing for three hundredtomorrow. Alright, I need to see
the Hey, look at it.We'll see it tomorrow. We'll see it
tomorrow. But I'm aron St.Brown is the number one, and he's
going off tomorrow. He'll get ahundred easy and two TVs. Remember to

(00:33):
back in the building, boys andgirls. Yeah, three and like what
a matter of seven eight days?What the hell is today Wednesday? This
ain't no, this ain't no street, but this is closely we get to
a street, bro. This iswhat this is, what this is,
what it's all about, though,This is this is the O G style,
(00:53):
not s big homie and sticks though, getting it uh, getting it
all built in and and fired up, ready to go. In the words
of the nos big homie fired up. I'll never forget that back in the
day, the old school homie,when he wasn't so gray, it wasn't
so hobbled. He was fired upall the time. It was just for
minute at twenty eight, I wasjust fooling. Yeah. I was real
(01:17):
nice at this, yeah, andI was good at hiding. But yo,
is the heat here? Or isthe heat here? I had to
bring us there in order to feelit. You know what I mean.
It's live, it's going down.Well it's not live right now, but
it will be going live. Iam live. You should be lying.
Anybody whose ears is open without waxinghim should be live right now. Because
(01:38):
the NFL is here. NFL ishere, Mariners best team in baseball.
We're back. And you know whatelse is here, Homie, the NFL
season, which means it's time tocash some paper, brother, time to
(02:00):
cast out and give back. We'vebeen dabbling. We've been dabbling for what
three years now, dabbling here andthere, just weighing it out, kind
of getting the fields, see howthe script goes, but a lot longer
than that if we want to beprooful. But yeah, we're trying to
(02:21):
figure out the game in the inthe pro game, basically now having availability,
truly understanding ins and outs of pointsand the difference between minus one minus
one twenty five What does that meanto me? How much more am I
(02:42):
pain versus the risk I'm involving.So it's a lot of education and I'm
willing to take it on. Iknow you are, and it's been fun,
but it's been a danger. Mypockets and the bread that's in.
There is a endangered species must aswell, but this will be careful.
It's about the numbers, right,It's all about It's all about betting the
numbers and not betting what you reallyreally know is gonna happen and what you
(03:07):
like, you still got to getthe best number, am I right?
I mean that's what it is.See, this is the whole. This
is the one thing that we learnedearly on is we found out there's certain
people that regardless, they will notpay you to win or lose. So
therefore you can't go in there thinkingthat I love these guys. This is
(03:28):
a good guy, this is fandom. Oh they should be able to score
a touchdown and beat those guys,right, there are reasons for this,
Okay. So yeah, it's agood education. But I mean it's been
a good run, man, andI think I feel as getting better.
I don't know about you, butI feel as getting better. Last year
was a bunch of shannanigans that youwould never believe, you could never predict.
(03:53):
And it almost started week one,if I'm not mistaken, I was
a tray to tap out week one, if you remember, right, that's
because we went hard and we didn'tlisten to Jones and Aaron Jones, our
boy in Vegas, I says,week one and seventeen or whatever, it
is, no play, you know, he just sits it out. Watch
excuse me, But I don't havethat kind of lifestyle. I don't have
(04:14):
that kind of patience. I seethat, I see something I like,
and I want to get right in, especially after what we saw from last
year and what we saw from thisyear, and to bounce to bounce off
of that, as you were talkingabout, with learning the game a little
bit. College football is back tobaby and and with college football and baseball,
(04:38):
your boy right here, sticks hasknock on wood has been doing eye
the past month and a half.I don't believe that. I hear ye
proof I STI don't believe. Well, well, you know how, you
know how we do at home,and you and I together, we rolled
together. It's just been you didn'tYou didn't believe in in the stick shenanigans
(04:59):
that were popping off the last monthplus. You had it. You had
a lot of shit going on inyour in your life, so you know
you couldn't get down and and andget in on that. So but we
roll together. Through football season.That's how we do it. So every
many times have you tried to explainplaying baseball to me? And I still
don't get it? I still don'tthink you've actually explained it to me.
Still, so I've I think I'veexplained it to the you and the people
(05:21):

freaking weekend. Where are y'all at? I know you're talking, I was
talking speaking of college what I'm justgonna pop off with some college football.
You know what homie savorite seg is. Homie s favorite seg is what gets
you fired up? You know itgets me fired up right now? The
Florida State seminals. Maybe you didnot believe Jordan Travis wasn't even in the
(06:27):
Heisman top five before before Sunday nightwas falling, And I told you,
Now, what did I say?And I told you this is the first
year I'm gonna try to pay attentionto college football on a serious level because
of the situation with this being thelast West Coast Conference situation, or let's
call it what it is, PACten, PAC twelve conference old school style,
(06:49):
So that's going away, right,So I'm gonna dial into it and
see if I could find some edgesand it might be a fun year.
But I've told you, why thehill would a coach, a d anybody
like that throw a schedule right uptop five verse seven? This is bad?
This is exactly why, Because nobodywants to watch fucking the School of
(07:12):
the Death of blind play USC.What do you not advantageous for me?
Because look at what happens to oneloss teams. It's still not full playoffs
yet to where we all get inand then we get jumbled and then we
play each other. Right, Yeah, but the kind we've talked about this
homie, we've talked about in ncacollege basketball. We talked about how these
(07:35):
teams are getting better, you know, the sixteen seeds playing the one.
We talked about that football is gettingbetter. Well, it's getting more competitive
because of the transfer porter. Lookwhat Colorado did. Look what coach Prime
did, My guy, Coach Prime, Uh, look when he did talk
about with the transfer portal, andthat's where all these kids are starting to
(07:56):
do. Florida State has three guys. They were the best team, the
best players on their team that theygot from the transfer portal, the wide
receiver and I should have you know, I didn't have time to go through
the uh the thing. There wasa defensive guy, a wide receiver,
and then one other one other catwho were the three top players? That's
what I was saying. I can'tremember. I know one was from like
(08:16):
I think Old miss or Mississippi oryeah, Mississippi, and then there was
a couple other guys that were onyou get you get the transfer transfer portal
where it's gonna make it more competitive. You know, how do you think
do you think Colorado went from afucking twenty one point underdog or twenty two
(08:37):
whatever closed out at well? Ithink it started twenty two went down to
twenty one because if everybody was onthat, and then now they're ranked twenty
one in the in the in thetop twenty five. But again back to
my boy Jordan Travis. You know, everybody's sleeping. If y'all don't forget,
If y'all forgot, it's ten yearanniversary of almost sticks having the trifecta.
(09:01):
Okay, Okay, the Mariners,you know, obviously didn't happen.
Twenty thirteen Seahawks win the championship.The Lombardi and guests. Who won the
Natty that year, Jamis Winston.Oh okay, Okay, I probably should
(09:22):
fact check that, but I'm prettysure I only won the Natty. I'm
pretty sure it was Jamis. Thatwas a crableg debacle that year. I
think he won. He won something. He won the Heisman and the National
at some year. I don't knowwhat year was, but he won bo.
But my boys are back under MikeNorvelle. They're ready to go.
Uh Oh, what's that dude's name? Remember we talked about it last year,
(09:43):
the big defensive line coach, defensivecoordinator. Ohka, I should know
this. Anyways, he's still therepopping. He's still popping that d off.
Let's go. How are they gonnafeel when Coach Prime leaps frogs u
him an All Nation and becomes thehead coach of the Dallas Cowboys without even
(10:03):
doing nothing else. I respect CoachPrime, but I think he is not
gonna I think he has too muchanimosity against the NFL. I don't know
(10:24):
if he's I don't know if heeven wants to play that game with those
those clowns, those especially once hiskids get in in the NFL, I
think you know, what do youthink? I mean? You think he's
just gonna coach until his kids getout, and then once he's done,
once his kids get out, he'sall He's gonna wipe his hands clean and
enjoy life a little bit. Nowhe's getting paid well, hopefully Colorado decides
to pay him. They should bemaking enough money now today, are we
(10:46):
going to attempt to believe that halfof these coaches that never played a game
in the league, much less bea Hall of Famer. Yeah, I
mean world champion, all of thethat legendary can't coordinate a team CEO style.
I'm not saying shout out to anybodybut Mike Tomlin and saying he was
(11:11):
a horrible player, Like I mean, not a horrible player, but on
the scale, he wasn't making theleague. Everybody knows this. All of
those players like that Sean McVeigh.These dudes aren't making the league. They're
just playing. So therefore they geta lot of time holding the clipboard and
learning. And this is what happened. This guy's a leger. You trying
to tell me that guy can't ceoa team, a professional team with real
(11:33):
coaches, because you see what AaronGlenn and deuced do last year on the
field for the Lions, and whatwe see with the lot with the Jets
offensive coach OC what's my name Hackettand the DC out there talking about biting
people and all of this. Youknow what I mean? Those are the
people that are really coaching and settingthem strategy. Oh you're doing this saying
(11:54):
what plights we get on and you'retaking the camera time. Remind me to
remind me to talk about the coachingonce we get into the NFL season,
because I got a few things onthat too. When we start talking about
some over unders and our top fivepower ranking and you know teams that we
got going into opening weekend week one. Glad there's no week zero like college
(12:18):
football where nobody plays nobody then andas will be, because this week is
gonna be horrible because you see whathappening now, All of a sudden,
everybody's now practicing now where and they'regetting Now we're getting these injuries now.
The injury from Cooper Cup that happenedat the beginning of preseason now has all
(12:39):
lingered all the way to the forefront. Now we've got Travis Kelsey oops,
oh hyper extension. Bang bang.Now all of a sudden, my man
uh tearing Armstrong in Miami. Allof a sudden, his injury here from
the beginning of preseason is now allof a sudden not gonna allow him to
play. So now these teams areaffected seriously. Man and look, you
(13:00):
know what's going to happen Week one. I'm sitting everybody forward. The cheese
Goof is going on. I don'teven care if they lose, but my
boy Goof is about to show off. You remember what happened the last time.
He was an arrowhead fifty something tofifty something. And if you gonna
beat Goof, you better bat himdown with a bat because he's going down
heavy this year. Boy, he'sready with no Travis Kelsey, there's a
(13:24):
little there's a little NFL teaser foryou. But before we get into the
NFL, I have to put somethingout there real quick. We talked a
little bit college football. Had togive a sh to my boys and the
knowles, you know, going upfrom number eight to number four, the
things you dub oh now, they'rejust to keep oh No eight, number
(13:45):
eight to number two. When Isee two, no, I saw four,
but I think someone else hasn't beentwo. But that those are all
irrelevant right now because, like yousaid, we're not even in a playoff
atmosphere. And then the Huskies wentup rolled up too with their magnificent performance
against boy see State again again,you're boy cashed on that one. As
(14:07):
you know, Uh, we're doinga little college football thing. We're gonna
get in there, back in itthis weekend. But anyways, how to
give a shout out to those guys. What a college football weekend. It's
nice to be able to be homeon a Saturday and a Sunday and watch
those games. But before we getinto the NFL, I just want to
hit real quick on MLB. Youknow, there's not a lot to talk
(14:28):
about right now. Your Dodgers arekilling it, The Braids are killing the
National League. You got the Marinerskilling it. You got Julio on fire
hit two home runs again yesterday.Is that? Is that what's really happening
right now? Because I'm listening toyou guys, y'all is fired up,
and I don't know if they reallydoing some were not according to if there's
(14:50):
twenty seven games left, they're they'regoing twenty and seven, mark my words.
Right now. They're gonna figure itout. Their bullpen's been struggling a
little bit, but they're going twentyand even if there's twenty seven games left,
they're winning twenty of the next whatevergames there are, right So that's
just ten and well, what isthat nine? And nine and nine and
one the next two weeks and then, uh, you know, whatever games
(15:13):
are left, they're they're gonna wintwenty more games. They're gonna win the
Al West by uh, let's justmake it fun. Let's make it.
Let's make it one and a halfgames, because they do have I think
they have seven games against Texas andHouston left combined. I'd have to look
into that next week when we getinto the MLB, we'll talk a little
more about it. But anyways,just had to give big shouts some Mariners
(15:35):
and Julio and all the pitching andthey're going on. They are number they
are, like their whole pitching staffstill number two in era. And you
know they don't walk a lot ofpeople. But these motherfuckers still can't hit
with the bases loaded or runners inscoring positions. So let's figure that out.
Even though they went, you know, the whole month of August,
won twenty one games and all that, shape, still gotta learn how to
hit the bases with runners in scoringpositions. So but you know who can't
(15:58):
hit with runners and scoring position.Man of this you can't get just Man's
senior and I'm too small. Manyou'll never be able to get the man.
I don't even know where the CDis. Man, it's Stu Gold
and it's Stu waging Man two.I'm too sure. And I dodged the
rain drums. Yo, I'm tellingyou, I had to bring back the
(16:22):
senior everybody. But yeah, they'rethey're they just how how did the I
don't know what the Texas Rangers andand the Houston Astro series the last three
days has been one team won fourteento five, next day they got the
next team won sixteen to two,and then the next day the other team
(16:42):
won. Uh. I think itwas the Astro's one, uh, fourteen
to seven or some shit like that. Yea, Neither one of these guys
can pitch. Yeah, they canhit. They got their lucky charm back,
even though it's an old lucky charm. It's all crusty, dusty lucky
charm. But Verlander is back inthe Star uniform, so that means a
lot to them. Even if youdon't do anything good, which he has
(17:04):
done a couple of things good,but he hasn't done anything good all year,
so this gives him a chance tokind of feed off the little mojo.
Maybe his arm gets a little live, gets a little juice in it.
You never know, look out forthe strolls. I don't like the
age, but I'm willing what's gonnahappen. I'll tell you right now if
the Astros make it, If theAstros make it to the playoffs, that
(17:25):
dude's gonna come down with a poorlittle shoulder injury and just be like,
oh, I'm you know, Iheard my arm. He ain't made for
this, no more. He ain'tmade for no Mariners lineup, no more.
He ain't ready is as Homie likesto say, he ain't ready.
Dog, I'll mark my words rightnow. Verlander gets in there playoff Game
(17:48):
one in the against the Mariners.Playoff Game one, see yeah later,
won't even make it out of thefirst inning. What is the next pitch
man? Oh, that's the curvesside. Okay, let's go. This
dude pulls up his shirt. Wegotta get that on YouTube. There's a
clip for y'all to check out Homietrying to me. I like it though,
(18:11):
team too. There's an audio medium. I forgot what we need it.
We need to just throw it upthere. All right, brother,
let's get into some NFL since weonly got a few left. You want
to start off with I know youalready got your best bets ready, We'll
go. We'll go. Uh,we'll go over under, We'll go,
(18:33):
We'll go. You want to startwith your top five power rankings, then
go over under or your top tenpower rankings, then go over under,
and then we'll close it out withThursday Night best bets. Real quick,
we don't have we don't have playerprosper I think between you and I we
could probably just chum up a couplein our head because we kind of know
what the numbers are gonna be.In my head, I feel that we
kind of know what those could be. And I think either way, I
(18:56):
think it's a you know, easyto figure out until we get tomorrow,
and then I'll be at work tillsix o'clock. So we're gonna get all
these in in the afternoon tomorrow sometimeor get a couple. We'll have to
try to get a couple in.Yeah, well, I think real quick,
but I think what's more beneficial toget a people though. The top
is cool because everybody kind of knowswhat those guys are, but we've seen
(19:18):
a lot of wind totals, andwhat I was willing to go on the
line until the people, even afterI told y'all, is that I will
stand by. Okay, there's nono, no, no double digit win
team. Okay, nobody wins overdouble digits, so no eleven win team.
I'll say that, Okay. Sothat means I am willing to fade
(19:41):
directly the Eagles, the Bengals,the Buffalo Bills, and the Kansas City
Chiefs. Who I always would yousay, Philly, Who Cincinnati? Since
Buffalo, Buffalo, cac and SanFrancisco that goes without saying. Okay,
So San Francisco's ten and a half, Kansas City is eleven and a half
(20:03):
win total, so is Philadelphia.Cincinnati is also eleven and a half,
and Buffalo was ten and a half. Okay. I've thought that that's very
vital for people to know because Iwant y'all to understand that this parody in
these leagues. If y'all got fantasyfootball teams, y'all seeing these young quarterbacks
sitting that didn't get drafted, Iguarantee y'all gonna understand why these dudes are
gonna be factors in a minute.So that is very important. Now,
(20:26):
who's gonna be the over? Soif you look at all of those teams
are double digits, and I don'tthink that they're gonna hit. So who's
the big team that's gonna hit theunder? This or the over? This
might bring a smile to my voiceface right here. Out of surveying all
of the teams, I have selecteda hot well what to do at seven
(20:48):
that I think will hit the overout of all of them. I am
willing to go out on the women, put my face and words on the
line and tell you. I cantell you New Orleans at a number of
nine went five will be the oneteam that will surprise everybody. And they
are gonna win team games. They'renot win eleven because there's not gonna be
a ten team that wins eleven games, but they will win team games.
(21:11):
And that is your big bit.And I would suggest a lot of people
go out and see what the wintotal price is on that one, because
that one is one that if youlook at that division, Carolina Tampa Bay
in Atlanta, Okay, and theyare the only team with a solid lineup.
You talking about Michael Thomas coming back, Alvin Camara sitting on the bench,
(21:32):
suspended for four games. Then hecomes back in the mix while they
have the mojo, even though youcan't trust him first fantasy purposes, but
those are good reasons to look tohim. Here's here's a good reason.
Can I go Can I go off? Can I give you the quarterbacks that
the New Orleans defense, who finishedwhat top five last year in defense?
(21:52):
I believe who they're playing this ship. These are the quarterbacks that they're playing.
Shout out to Ari Barrov at mySports Update. We appreciate number one,
the lowest strength of schedule. Yeah, here's the quarterbacks. Just go.
I'll just roll through the list realquick. Tannon Hill, Young rookie,
Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield, MackJones, CJ. Stroud, rookie,
(22:15):
Trevor Lawrence, uh A R fifteen, Anthony Richardson, Justin Fields,
Kirk cousins By, Desmond Ritter,Jared Goff, Bryce Young, rookie,
Daniel Jones, Matthew Stafford, Baker, Mayfield, Desmond Ritter, a bunch
of guys that we put in thatcategory, that just a serviceable category.
(22:36):
They're not I like that over nineand a half easy. I mean,
they gotta win ten look at thedivision first of all, right, because
I mean they could run the tablein the division, could they not?
Okay? So that's my that's mything. If they have the possible they're
the only team I think they hadthe possibility to run the table in their
division. That gives them a legup. And then not to mention them
(23:00):
along with that, Minta also havethe two easiest schedules in the league.
So I thought that would be agood tidbit to give the people. We'll
talk about other stuff as we moveon, as we get into quarterbacks and
things like that. But what aboutThursday. We got a game tomorrow.
Man. I already talked about howI feel about goof Yeah, okay,
and my love for surf and turf, which is now taking it to the
(23:22):
Motor City. Jumped in his carand he's out there whipping the Lions like
Siegfried and Roy. Okay, they'replaying in Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead.
I got minus six and a half. Still you can get it under a
touchdown. Fifty four point five wasthe number of Detroit is plus two thirty.
Would you take a flyer on theplus two thirty? I don't even
(23:44):
know why I asked that question.You already know, docs, You already
know if we get plus two thirtyand put it in right now. I
don't know where Jones is at,but when Jones listens, he's gonna be
flying to his Vegas hot spot andputting that in because he'd probably get two
fifty. Uh. But yeah,I mean we're we're already in for we
(24:08):
get we got the plus six anda half. I see, guess where
the line is now? It's fiveunless it's less. It was five last
night when I looked, so itwas Is it four and a half now?
All day? And you know what, I'd take a flyer on on
the underdog. You know how Iam I overs and underdogs. What else
(24:29):
does your boy play over as anunderdog? And you and you got a
role? But there is go backreal quick to the college football plays.
I didn't know this until halfway throughthe first quarter. I guess on first
down the clock doesn't stop anymore?Uh? In college football? Yeah,
(24:52):
you have to look at that,because I'm pretty sure they said that the
clock doesn't stop anymore on first down. It keeps going. So when you
got these high over over totals,which let's all be realistic. If a
college football game hits the over,it hits the over by more than a
touchdown or two or whatever you believein it, it's double digits over right.
(25:17):
Very rarely are gonna get it overwhere you're gonna get a bad beat.
Well, there are bad beats obviouslyevery week, but not on the
games that a lot of not veryoften on the games that everybody plays.
Okay, so you're gonna get thosebad beats obviously, but yeah, look
at the clock. Find out whatthe college football rules are. I didn't
even know that. I think Iheard it halfway through, maybe even heard
(25:37):
it yesterday or now that you mentionedit. I think I heard an announcer
mentioned something about the way that theclock moves and when I was watching one
of these games, but too distracted. I was too distracted by all these
young boys who can't kiss. It'sway too when he drops out, Yeah
there are my boy. Jordan Trustwent through for five hundred yards in the
first half. If old boy couldhave got the ball, he was getting
(26:00):
robbed. Yo. But yeah,Chip Kelly went off on the halftime and
he's like, hey, you know, someone asked him a question. The
thing he said was, yeah,I hope you hope, You're all hope
ESPN is making a lot of moneyright now on those commercials or some shit
because they have, you know,a lot. And then I heard an
interview yesterday from Damn who was it, I can't remember, but he's like,
(26:26):
the oh it was. It wasthe Jake Dickert, the WSU coach.
He was talking about the first quarter. He's like, he didn't notice,
but in the second quarter they hadto stop play for like eight eight
different times so they could run commercials. Because he was asked the question about
the commercials and the or the firstdowns and shit or something, but there's
(26:48):
more commercials. Clock's not stop.I don't know what it was, but
it was crazy. But anyways,yeah, look at that. But yeah,
back to NFL All day Kansas Cityor not Kanzi all day fake in
the city. That's how I waslast year. But I think this is
a year to really fade. Youwere talking about over unders, Homie,
and I'm one hundred percent all inon the the under eleven and a half
(27:11):
or Casey. You said not alot of teams are gonna win. You
said, no teams, but aregonna get to ten, but you said
there are very minimal. If theydo get to ten, I take Jacksonville
over nine and a half. Ithink this is their year. Uh you
know, they still got Doug Petersonthere, and like you, I gotta
(27:33):
go with the Homer over under herebecause we were talking offline, me,
you and Barcott and what did Isay? They're Seahawks over unders nine and
a half. I think they winten easy whole. I don't know where
everybody's getting their San Francisco love from. This organization is a freaking disaster.
(28:00):
They don't know like we know.They don't know like we know. They
are a disaster and there and ahalf. I would take the under on
that all day, big time.And while you're on the topic, I
mean, that's what I'm saying.And then Nick Bosa's getting money, and
you know what happens with dudes getmoney. You see what you see what
happens every time. So I'm notconcerned with what they're doing over there.
(28:23):
I'm just hoping that y'all handle arelightweight because if we live brock Purty run
through this division again, how arewe gonna hold our heads high in the
West like this? While I'm sittinghere in the bungalow, you know,
and you're right there, you knowwhat I'm saying in blumen Field, rocking
it out and enjoying us. Wecan't walk and hold our heads high if
(28:45):
we let brock Purty do this.And brock Purty ain't gonna And and who's
brock Purty's backup? Sam Donald?Sam Donald played for him. Yeah he's
from USC, back in California.Whatever. But this dude has been a
travel traveling around, probably out ofthe league a few times. But brock
(29:07):
Purty and Sam Donald get rid ofyour number one, your first round draft
pick that you traded the farm forto get. Well, he wasn't no
good, right, but they justmade a bat. I mean, he's
he who could trust Christian McCaffrey,who could trust Deebo Samuel who just got
paid? Exactly? Who else didthey get? That was auk Is He's
(29:30):
been hurt. Okay, so hereis the beef. Now you know how
much I hate himself? Every timeI hear forty nine is my ears peak
up. I'm in the car theother day, and you know what I
hear after you said all of thesepeople are getting money? Nick Bosa just
gets money. But a couple ofdays ago, I hear, oh,
Brandon I has been on the cooltails of Kyle Shanahan again and they have
(29:52):
been buddies of the and he isso happy with the extra work. And
Deebo Samuel is potentially going to bephased out of the offense exactly. So
now we're talking about this dude's gonnabe shining over Debo. Who got the
money? It's going to happen.Watch they these reporters, these sideline reporters,
(30:15):
don't be getting his infro out ofnowhere. Yo, all right,
we got a few minutes left,but I gotta I gotta ask you something,
homie. You're Indianapolis Colts. Andthe only reason that I would like
to fade the over under of Sticksand a half, it's not because of
(30:37):
Anthony Richardson. It's not because ofthe Jonathan Taylor holdout. It's because does
this head coach have any idea whatin the sam hell he is doing?
What's his name, something stein Rackor some shit striking Stiken? Does he
(30:57):
I don't know any clue what thehell he is doing. He asked the
question, did you all drive here? Did you all take the bus here.
Oh no, I know that wasc. That was the Cardinals hit
HC. Oh that I don't knowwhissle with that guy? Well okay too,
(31:18):
I just sucked everything that didn't evengo tothing that put the stamp on
the fact that they're a training wreck. Okay, okay, so anyways,
what is it? Who is theSo it's still standing for the Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, he came andtook over first Saturday after they did all
that, so they got him fromthe Eagles staff. Okay, anyways,
I haven't heard anything from this guythen after I just made an ass out
(31:41):
of myself. But hey, that'swhat we do. We're live. We
just fuck around. And you know, I've gotta go look up that Jonathan
Gannon clip though he talked about forthe Arizona Cardinals. H C. Is
cringe worthy. Look it up.Okay, So all right, so anyways,
now that I just have to putmy head between my legs on that
one, Uh, what do yougot for some h We got the best
(32:02):
bet that we already put in.We want the plus six and a half,
which we got, we'd still probablytake it. Hey, y'll know,
we're gonna take the money. Line. Fuck, I'll fuck around and
take the plus four also because youknow it's gonna be a close game with
your boy goof firing up on allcylinders with Dan Campbell back there. Uh
(32:22):
so, So so there's one thatI'm I'm, I'm, I'm I want
to roll with because I think it'sgonna be pretty low because I haven't looked
at the depth chart, but JamarGibbs, the first round pick or their
first pick. Yeah, first roundpick is the RB one, right,
it's gotta be set it. It'sgotta be set like fifty eight maybe even
(32:45):
I don't even know if it'll beover fifty. But don't you think fifty
fifty eight? I mean, you'vegot i'm on ron st st Brown out
there, you got some weapons.But I think Dan Campbell picked this kid
for a reason, and I thinkthey kind I don't want to grind,
and they got rid of my boyJamal uh And and went to New Orleans.
Another reason why New Orleans is gonnawin ten games exactly. But I
(33:08):
think they're gonna give this kid therock, and he's very capable of breaking
one. So I would say,what do you what do you say?
I mean, am I wrong thatmaybe it only be fifty four fifty eight
yards. Okay, here's the question. So here's the thing with if you're
looking at rush yards, who Jamirgives they also have a singletary there and
from word on the street is wordon the street is ground and pounding.
(33:30):
My man, Jamire gives is untilthey get some hands for goof reliable hands
to go with Ama Saint Brown hthen he may be running some special tactics
for them alongside what he normally does. This is what I hear, and
(33:51):
singletary will be getting more of thepounds, a little bit of this thunder
and lightning type of activity. Wordon the street says, I don't know
what they're going to actually do,but if you get the ball in this
kid's hand in open field, injust the wheel route, the little jump
off out of the backfield screen outthe back, it's gonna be magic.
So I would look for his receivingyards and see if they are low.
(34:15):
I can't set a number because I'mnot, you know, sure about that,
but since I heard that two,this should be safe. Yo,
I'm it's good that this kid couldhave. Is it not inconceivable that this
kid could have four receptions or threeor four receptions for thirty five forty yards
(34:36):
along with his rushing yards. Solook at exactly that's what I'm saying.
So it's not inconceivable that that's theway that he scores. So look at
look at that too. Another trendthat I want to bring up from last
year. Y'all remember how slow Caseystarts in these games. Yo, They
always start off slow. They giveeverybody a jump start, and then they
(34:59):
start acting I like Muhammad Ali outhere, it becomes rope of dope.
So first half Detroit, because numberone, Casey is packing a a defense,
but a little fat defense. Somy man just is he My man's
angry. He's trying to get paid, okay with what's my man's name,
Chris uh Clark Jones Jones, Yeah, but yeah, he's trying to get
(35:23):
paid. Kelsey's out. They gottaflury with it. They don't know who
they're gonna give the ball to.But Patrick Mahomes doesn't care who he gives
the ball too, so he willmake somebody famous on tomorrow. But I'm
thinking about the defense, and lookthe first half Detroitcy. If your numbers
juicy I'm not gonna tell you whatto look because I haven't looked at what
the first half is, but that'sa good place to go. First half
(35:44):
over Hey, who's this? Who'sthe second half team every year that we
rolled with every the last two years. Second half? You gotta kill him
down, you gotta kill him.I'm telling you, you gotta step into
the lyon Troy and you got Ikilled these boys if you want to beat
them. I mean all year youlooked at the stats and it was so
(36:05):
obvious by less than a touchdown orwhatever, it was the highest point differential.
But they just was catching bad lossesto people they barely lost and things
like this. So yo, Igotta go see what's up with this last
episode of Hard Knocks man, becauseI do have the Jets on the oside,
on the overside, and I don'twant to that to miss. If
anybody wants to know who I whoelse I had on the overside, I
(36:29):
did call signed Seattle on the overside. I also have Pittsburgh on the overside.
Oh yep, I like that one. I had that one. I
have Cleveland on the overside, whichis strange to have, but I think
the numbers that are over there.If I remember correctly, Cleveland's only got
Pittsburgh's only got an eight and ahalf. If I remember correctly, let
me give it nine and a half, Pitsburg, no. Eight nap,
(36:52):
eight nap if you're right, eightand a half. Because so I like
that as a good, solid ninewin team, and the Cleveland will be
another ten win team. This iswhat I mean. There's gonna be a
lock of ten win team. SoI don't know how this playoffs are gonna
work out. And you know what, I also have because of Indianapolis's problems.
Tennessee, even though they're horrible andI hate them, and I think
(37:13):
Jacksonville's gonna run away at that division, Tennessee can win, Derrick Henry cole
Why can I see not win eightgames? The number seven and a half?
What reason could Derek or Derrick Henryand Malik Willis and a little bit
of growth if they decide to sackwasn't it? What is the chance that
will Levis and Derek Henry cannot getthem eight wins? I don't care if
(37:37):
ten let me put let me putyou on the spot real quick home.
Even then they're gonna close this out. I'm a'm i ron St Brown over
under eighty nine and a half yardstomorrow Russian total. Oh, I'm a
ron St Brown receiving over receiving tboy goof over eighty nine. Yeah,
(38:01):
I can't imagine it being higher thanthat. H No, I under with
your boy goof throwing for three hundredtomorrow. Alright, I need to see
the Hey, look at it.We'll see it tomorrow. We'll see it
tomorrow. But I'm aron St.Brown is the number one, and he's
going off tomorrow. He'll get ahundred easy and two TVs. Remember to
