Speaker 1: Da Around the NFL Podcast never refuses free under pains.
Speaker 1: That's true. Welcome back to another edition of the Around
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast, presented by Head and Shoulders. My name
Speaker 1: is Dan Hanzas, and I am joined by room filled
Speaker 1: with heroes, so many heroes. Mark Sessler, Colleen Wolf, and
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal. What's up people? What's up? Gang? Hey, that's
Speaker 1: actually not true. Off the top, we were given free
Speaker 1: underpants uh months ago, and I wound up giving them
Speaker 1: to the Paramore in a strange development for everyone. Slash
Speaker 1: inappropriate on some level, feels inappropriate to me. I'm actually
Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding, wearing me and these right now
Speaker 1: there are. I am totally sold on the product, and
Speaker 1: I you too long for them to return as a sponsor,
Speaker 1: the rare the rare spotor sponsor for that sponsor that's
Speaker 1: no longer with us. I could tell that you were
Speaker 1: sold on them, really, just based on your reaction at
Speaker 1: the media summit we had that night. From the start,
Speaker 1: I thought Mark was sold on white wine at that
Speaker 1: at that well, it's possible to be sold on both. Well,
Speaker 1: it takes a lot to impress Mark because famously he
Speaker 1: didn't wear underwear for that it changed my clothing, second,
Speaker 1: my clothing habits. I remember being fascinated by that and
Speaker 1: went on for years, and then one day, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, no longer was a thin layer of denim
Speaker 1: separating you from everything. I remember Mark being annoyed that
Speaker 1: I brought that up on the show. One ye continue
Speaker 1: to be annoyed that you just did it about a
Speaker 1: minute ago. Uh, any chance you go back to Commando?
Speaker 1: It all depends. I mean, if I lived in Minnesota
Speaker 1: and like the thick of winter, no, but like out
Speaker 1: in California, it's like, I don't why why do I
Speaker 1: need extra layers of clothing all over me? Easy, breezy,
Speaker 1: exactly A lot to get to today, big show. Um
Speaker 1: we have let's see what do we got coming up to?
Speaker 1: Let's go through. We have Monday Night football the Lions
Speaker 1: and Packers Uh played at lambeau Field and uh, you
Speaker 1: have things are getting more and more grim uh for
Speaker 1: the Packers by the day. Also, we are going to
Speaker 1: preview Thursday Night football that is a NFC West matchup
Speaker 1: between the Seahawks and Cardinals. And then yes it's been
Speaker 1: teased for a while. Uh, it got pushed back a
Speaker 1: week but now is the time or midway through the season,
Speaker 1: it's time to stick a fork in some teams. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's an around the NFL podcast tradition where we decide
Speaker 1: which teams have literally no chance of making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And it's not a happy it's not always a happy show.
Speaker 1: Um and uh is speaking of which not always happy
Speaker 1: news to report. Mark, we are a news podcast at
Speaker 1: our heart and you have some very sad news from
Speaker 1: cessler mannor don't you Yeah? I do. I mean it's
Speaker 1: this came out of nowhere. Um. As you know, we
Speaker 1: have had a little kitty at our house that our
Speaker 1: children named uh Boo despite many great names from cut
Speaker 1: pouring in from the listeners hashtag a t N cat.
Speaker 1: But yesterday we were preparing to take uh the little
Speaker 1: kitty to the vet to kind of prepare it for
Speaker 1: like an adopted home, and my wife Simone, who was
Speaker 1: taking care of it with our neighbor um around the clock,
Speaker 1: basically found it and it had passed away. It was yeah,
Speaker 1: so Boo is gone, and I it was a very
Speaker 1: sad moment for our family. And like I came into
Speaker 1: this not kind of old ways for years to crying cats,
Speaker 1: not a cat person. Don't trust people own who owned cats. No,
Speaker 1: but I mean especially guys that owned cats. But I've
Speaker 1: changed my whole I've changed my whole feeling on that
Speaker 1: that it really spec well that's how I felt for years.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that the one good thing is on
Speaker 1: Sunday night before it passed away, both our little boys
Speaker 1: looking Colton had time to spend with it and feed
Speaker 1: it and stuff. So they were very art. It's too bad.
Speaker 1: So a t N cat did not make it very
Speaker 1: sad um. But I almost feel like now, uh, we
Speaker 1: need some type of mascot more than ever. A t
Speaker 1: N cat could have been that Boo. It just didn't
Speaker 1: work out. But Mark, you and the family, you did
Speaker 1: your best. Well, there was natural I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: my my wife someone did like the most work along
Speaker 1: with our neighbor, and they were heartbroken because I think
Speaker 1: for them it felt like we've failed and they really didn't.
Speaker 1: The vet was like this cat did not have a
Speaker 1: large chance to live. It was found days after it
Speaker 1: was born and it was really in ragged shape. And
Speaker 1: so you know, they did do everything they could. We
Speaker 1: should do something in the name of Boo. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: should prosecute mom cat. By the way, has anybody heard
Speaker 1: from Mom She's been back, right, She's yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: whole another subplot. Well, she just I think mom cat,
Speaker 1: you had a lot going on in her own life
Speaker 1: from what I can tell, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know that the skinny anyway, very bad news. Uh, and
Speaker 1: I really feel badly for your family, Mark, But we
Speaker 1: will move on and maybe another cat shows up. Who knows,
Speaker 1: it's possible, right, it's very possibly said that it seems
Speaker 1: like this irresponsible mom cat that the vets said that
Speaker 1: she might lay some more cat. Yes, our backyard, apparently
Speaker 1: it's it's our backyard. Seems to be sort of standing.
Speaker 1: And you learned a valuable lesson that maybe not all
Speaker 1: cats and cat owners, you know, like my mom is
Speaker 1: a big, big cat. No, but no, it's only male cat.
Speaker 1: It was much more like a male cat owner were
Speaker 1: more those guys. Don't you don't trust John, No, but
Speaker 1: now my opinions, my opinions have changed. I don't trust
Speaker 1: I don't trust John for a variety of other reasons,
Speaker 1: not pet ownership. All right, So John rend which writer
Speaker 1: was married NFL media broadcaster College Wolf, John who was
Speaker 1: a Piece's resides in Los Angeles with his wife and
Speaker 1: jud dogs and a cat. See that that drop is
Speaker 1: not even correct. We don't recognize cat and he did
Speaker 1: it until now we only recognize one cat on this podcast.
Speaker 1: It was Boo, and now Boo's gone. So once again
Speaker 1: Pat's uh cats persona on grata Rest in peace, bullets.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Monday night football. Stafford goes back Cox,
Speaker 1: his arm goes on long past comment. Heards side lane
Speaker 1: R Bingsley being catching a touchdown Detroit on the near sideline.
Speaker 1: What a crap by Marvin Jones? Who is that again?
Speaker 1: Kevin Harland of Westwood One. Matthew Stafford through for three
Speaker 1: hundred sixty one yards two touchdowns, both uh to Marvin
Speaker 1: Jones and the Lions three game losing streak. Fiend after
Speaker 1: at seventeen win on Monday Night over the Packers. Who
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Um, let's start with the Packers. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to the Lions because to me, the story on
Speaker 1: some level was the Packers this idea that perhaps that
Speaker 1: they could survive Aaron Rodgers his absence and hang around
Speaker 1: in the NFC playoff picture until Rogers potentially could come
Speaker 1: back that all feels like a pipe dream, especially after
Speaker 1: last night's game. Brett Hunley doesn't he holds the ball
Speaker 1: too long when they try to go down the field,
Speaker 1: and otherwise you know they're just throwing the ball so short.
Speaker 1: In the first drive, they're saying, well, this is how
Speaker 1: you build up a young quarterback, you know on Twitter,
Speaker 1: like nice short passes like that. You can't do that
Speaker 1: the whole game. And I watched these three games now
Speaker 1: with Hunley one where he came in as a backup,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, show me something, Mike McCarthy. You had
Speaker 1: two weeks to prep for this game and Dom Capers
Speaker 1: on defense, but you had two weeks to prep for
Speaker 1: this game and you came out of the by and
Speaker 1: this is what they came out with. And now I'm
Speaker 1: just not expecting to see it this season. I'm with you,
Speaker 1: and it's it's another you look at you look at Houston,
Speaker 1: you look at Green Bay, and these teams around the
Speaker 1: league that think they can build an organization without a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks start there. Forget about it. That the Packers
Speaker 1: and the Texans are dead meat now because they're one
Speaker 1: starting quarterback is out in the complexion of the entire
Speaker 1: team changes. You can call the team sport and it is.
Speaker 1: But there's you remove Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are
Speaker 1: beatable by anyone in the league right now. Well, it's
Speaker 1: a bummer for anybody who's an NFL fan just because
Speaker 1: of the way that these games are now. I mean,
Speaker 1: you watch the Packers and it's just their shell of themselves.
Speaker 1: They can't score any points. And like you said, Greg,
Speaker 1: I mean, they had a bye week to prepare for this,
Speaker 1: and now next week they're facing a division rival. I
Speaker 1: guess you could say arrival. I mean they're they're facing
Speaker 1: the Bears and they're gonna be on six days rest,
Speaker 1: Like that's short. That's a short week for game. I
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do and how they're gonna
Speaker 1: come out and score any point. So that's on the organization,
Speaker 1: it's not just on Aaron Rodgers. I don't think every
Speaker 1: team would collapse. It's hard to compare Aaron Rodgers to anyone,
Speaker 1: but I don't think the Patriots, for instance, would collapse
Speaker 1: as much with Tom Brady because you would expect other
Speaker 1: parts of the team to step up get a stop
Speaker 1: Packers defense. I mean that's part of the reason they
Speaker 1: were letting the Lions go up and down the field
Speaker 1: all night. I mean, there's there's two different groups here,
Speaker 1: and one of them has had the same coordinator since
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like with Dom Caper, and
Speaker 1: they're not getting any more stop. They have Blake Martinez
Speaker 1: trying to cover Golden tap I mean it's like Detroit
Speaker 1: looked extremely lively in the passing game because the way
Speaker 1: green Bay could not cover them. They lost Morgan Burnett
Speaker 1: again too in this game. He was just coming back,
Speaker 1: which was going to be a big boon for them,
Speaker 1: and so another another key player lost. Brian blog on
Speaker 1: the line. I mean they are, We're gonna Jordy Nelson's
Speaker 1: not quite a top five or six or so. He's
Speaker 1: not quite that guy either, but it doesn't matter. I mean,
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is you could say, is a top ten,
Speaker 1: top twenty receiver, and all these guys, Reggie Randall Cobs
Speaker 1: a nice useful slot guy and could be good at
Speaker 1: with a really good quarterback who seems to vanish for
Speaker 1: games at a time. Everyone's wasted. Martell's Bennett. He's been
Speaker 1: even before Aaron Rodgers got hurt. He was not a factor. Um,
Speaker 1: I just think that the Packers are done, they're cooked. Well,
Speaker 1: that's it's a tea for later. But Matthew Stafford and
Speaker 1: the Lions would have been very difficult to be in
Speaker 1: this game regardless because of the way their offense was
Speaker 1: playing in that one put right, that doesn't have anything.
Speaker 1: For the first time since ninety one lines not have
Speaker 1: a punch in a game. Matthew Stafford is so good
Speaker 1: when he's on. I mean he is as town. If
Speaker 1: it's just a contest of which quarterbacks, if they're protected well,
Speaker 1: can make the prettiest and biggest variety of throws. Stafford
Speaker 1: is right there, I think with Aaron Rodgers as the
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the leg. I mean, he can stick
Speaker 1: it in the turkey hole, that's for sure. Come Down
Speaker 1: Family podcast. No, but he can. He throws it between
Speaker 1: the corner and the safety. John Gruden was obsessed with it.
Speaker 1: Uh during the game. He brought it up a bunch
Speaker 1: of times. Turkey hole. This turkey hole that we have
Speaker 1: it actually called that the turkey hole. Don't ask me why,
Speaker 1: let me show you what the turkey hole is. It's
Speaker 1: the turkey hole. It's the area when the corner rolls up,
Speaker 1: there's a hole between the safety and the corner. It's
Speaker 1: not an easy throw. You gotta be able to rifle
Speaker 1: it in there, Sean, and I had a quarterback here
Speaker 1: in Green Bay who was able to do that at
Speaker 1: a high level. Brod Far he's talking about, of course
Speaker 1: Mark Mark. Strangely this got on your radar, yes or no?
Speaker 1: Uh not this so much as the North Dakota Strong
Speaker 1: bit from last week. I know that you you heavily
Speaker 1: produce these shows and you want to go in with
Speaker 1: a couple items that but I Suntars think and I
Speaker 1: like Cruden a lot, but it's like, you can't every
Speaker 1: week come out with like a hashtag phrase that becomes
Speaker 1: like a cultural sensation. North it but everything trends during
Speaker 1: during Monday night football and I get it. But it's
Speaker 1: just like a big ga. So you defind Nord Dakota
Speaker 1: Strong at like it's a sexy catchphrase. Not stick with me.
Speaker 1: And then he's saying hunter like he says crazy stuff
Speaker 1: like Turkey Hall is different. I love like Turkey Hall
Speaker 1: is great again. This sport is a mystery even to
Speaker 1: the people like us that cover it for a living
Speaker 1: and who knew turkey Hole before John Gruden started yelling
Speaker 1: about it. And then it's like, now you know some
Speaker 1: more internal lingo behind the scenes, not grumpy about the
Speaker 1: game out there. My big winner the parabolic mike guy.
Speaker 1: He got some great sound because I'll tell you, these
Speaker 1: these games that are at ten am on the West Coast,
Speaker 1: on on CBS or litany of like two camera setups
Speaker 1: where you're not even close to the field. I love
Speaker 1: the way these so I love the way these games
Speaker 1: are produced. There's a d cameras and the parabox mic
Speaker 1: guy caught Stafford shouting out Mariota, Mariota before snaps, which
Speaker 1: I thought that was super cool. And I my one
Speaker 1: thing is, if you're going to pay billions of dollars
Speaker 1: to produce these games, why are why is every game
Speaker 1: on Sunday not looking just as beautiful as Sunday Night
Speaker 1: Football Monday night football? What is the issue? Go and
Speaker 1: get you you have the budget and theory. This is
Speaker 1: your number one product, It's the highest rated thing on TV.
Speaker 1: Get an extra ten twelve cameras and make it beautiful. Power.
Speaker 1: I am just saying, I'm just saying, this is your
Speaker 1: this is your blue ribbon product, get it done. They
Speaker 1: also have. I mean, I don't want to get on
Speaker 1: your point the parable I'm saying. It's also it looks
Speaker 1: like a high school game. Some of these CBS early
Speaker 1: go watch, go watch twelve hours a game pass. It's
Speaker 1: like you couldn't be farther from the field over And
Speaker 1: the Lions are are one team that did take advantage.
Speaker 1: We mentioned McCarthy didn't do anything coming out of the bye.
Speaker 1: They put up almost five yards. They have looked like
Speaker 1: a different offense coming out of there by, and they've
Speaker 1: got an easy schedule coming up, including your Browns this week.
Speaker 1: And I think the Lions got a chance. I think
Speaker 1: they have a chance to be a little relevant. And
Speaker 1: Stafford and Tate are about as entertaining as a gain
Speaker 1: like watching this team. I think they're a fun team
Speaker 1: to watch. Yeah they are. How about Golden Tates catch
Speaker 1: on the sideline his footwork, and yet they will fatally
Speaker 1: uh fall fall apart at some point. At some point
Speaker 1: they will. But I think like that for that first
Speaker 1: and goal, and they don't know how to punch a
Speaker 1: ball in, like they don't really have all the pieces.
Speaker 1: To me, maybe a deep January team. But they are fun,
Speaker 1: they're a little better, and they're gonna finish ahead of
Speaker 1: the Packers. We're gonna have a different division winner, whether
Speaker 1: it's the Lions or the Vikings this year. And you
Speaker 1: know that brings me to a point of Sunday night
Speaker 1: football coming up in a couple of weeks. And and
Speaker 1: it really gotten on my radar here that I need
Speaker 1: to that we need to as a group and our
Speaker 1: listeners need to do something as a group, to stand
Speaker 1: up and do something about it. Oh, tell us more, Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not really on my radar. It's more something that I
Speaker 1: feel or something that I feel like is if I
Speaker 1: think it was Hans Christian Anderson that once said be
Speaker 1: the change. There we go that you want to see
Speaker 1: in the world. We can change the Sunday night football
Speaker 1: matchup in two weeks. Right now it's Packers Steelers, and
Speaker 1: the NFL will tell you well, that game is still
Speaker 1: gonna get good ratings. Sometimes the health of the sport
Speaker 1: and the entertainment of your fans is more important than ratings.
Speaker 1: The Saints in the Rams are playing that Sunday night,
Speaker 1: these two teams. That's two thousand seventeen football in a
Speaker 1: nutshell Saints Rams. We can change. Tell your congressman, Mr politician,
Speaker 1: one question, what is it that you're actually going to
Speaker 1: do to change it. I am on a pressure the NFL.
Speaker 1: If you don't, I just want okay, action steps. Chris
Speaker 1: is assuming this alone, is going to make it happen.
Speaker 1: If the congressman doesn't work, you tweet at the NFL
Speaker 1: with the hashtag flex nola. That's n no l A.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of going to no pack no, but
Speaker 1: that seemed negative. Maybe the NFL won't listen to that.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna listen either way, but gotta listen Flex Nola.
Speaker 1: Throw it in your hashtag at the NFL. This is
Speaker 1: the movement. I'm with you. Anytime you can improve that
Speaker 1: Sunday night game that we were we are here for
Speaker 1: until roughly two in the morning. I will happily do its.
Speaker 1: Packers take them doubt flex nola. Love it. It just
Speaker 1: makes sense. People make it happen. Let's do some news,
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Jameis Winston UH is going
Speaker 1: to miss multiple weeks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who
Speaker 1: have decided to shut down their quarterback UH. Dirk Cutter
Speaker 1: told reporters on Monday. This coming after that disaster against
Speaker 1: Nola on Sunday, Winston left the game at halftime after aggravating,
Speaker 1: uh the shoulder injury. He heard it a month ago,
Speaker 1: So Winston's after the next few weeks a two and
Speaker 1: six team. Also no Mike Evans, who has now been
Speaker 1: suspended for that cheap shot against Lattimore of the Saints.
Speaker 1: When Winston, of course was involved. He kind of started
Speaker 1: it and then Evans ended it. He somehow was not
Speaker 1: kicked out of the game, but he will be suspended.
Speaker 1: He was appealing that suspension. So uh, a great great
Speaker 1: season for the Hard Knocks squad this year. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the way that this offense now, the offense,
Speaker 1: the defense, the entire team has been just falling apart.
Speaker 1: And you know who they're playing next week, Dan Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick is going to be playing the same Save it
Speaker 1: for Thursday. But yes, I'm very excited for a little
Speaker 1: It's not even it cannot be deemed the fits Magic
Speaker 1: revenge game because the Jets paid him twelve million. I
Speaker 1: keep hearing that on Twitter. It's like, what is your upset? Why?
Speaker 1: Why are you upset with this employer? That just paid
Speaker 1: you a bathtub full of money. Yeah. By the way,
Speaker 1: did you guys see before we move on forget about
Speaker 1: the Bucks? I don't talk about the Bucks anymore. But
Speaker 1: unless you guys wanted, is anybody like hot about the Bucks?
Speaker 1: I think we've seen on this team annoying? But did
Speaker 1: anybody see Jameis Winston's pregame speech. I think we all did.
Speaker 1: Everybody did, soxiety did. Just to listen in on this
Speaker 1: and watch us on the video show. I don't wonder
Speaker 1: about a look at me, I'm pass at the corn up,
Speaker 1: not say one days Sean Jackson, Yeah, d Jackson looks
Speaker 1: completely lost. The other thing that didn't make sense to me?
Speaker 1: And yes, everyone's seen it. If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: pause the podcast and check it out now. Uh, the
Speaker 1: way it starts, so he creates the W in his
Speaker 1: mouth and then says, let's eat the W. That's what
Speaker 1: I like. I'm trying to why doesn't it work? There's
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why it doesn't work, but he's like,
Speaker 1: he puts his fingers in his mouth and then comes
Speaker 1: out with the W hand hand gesture and then says,
Speaker 1: let's eat the W. That that was weird. Just half
Speaker 1: to half the people in that circle can't see what
Speaker 1: he's doing, so you've already lost the hand gesture. That
Speaker 1: didn't make sense even if you can see it. Well,
Speaker 1: I think yeah, in general, just sticking your hand in
Speaker 1: your mouth and it is not a way to inspire people.
Speaker 1: It's always gonna be a little silly. Hey, I'm he's
Speaker 1: a little sick ahead. No, please please do it, Greg,
Speaker 1: He always that was this. If bother you, Greg, I
Speaker 1: know it's been you've been on the Winston train. Uh,
Speaker 1: team trav train is off the tracks. Winston train. Not
Speaker 1: quite odd. But this has not been a good look
Speaker 1: for him. He's twenty three years old. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: ups and downs. He's definitely he's not like he's Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning or Tom Brady gonna have that kind of career.
Speaker 1: I still think he's going to be great. Did that
Speaker 1: speech like spook you at all? A little bit? Though,
Speaker 1: just a tiny bit, like spook a little bit. He
Speaker 1: spooked a little bit by I think we got I mean,
Speaker 1: he's a he's kind of a wacky guy. We like
Speaker 1: we see that he's really into the motivations. It's like
Speaker 1: I think he's probably spent the night like thinking, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be good, this is gonna go over
Speaker 1: well with my teammates. I'm Jamis Winston, and then it
Speaker 1: just it felt utterly flat. Moving on more quarterback news,
Speaker 1: this involving in Minnesota Vikings. UH. They will be activating
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater to the fifty three man roster this week,
Speaker 1: but the team is now talking about the possibility that
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford will be placed on injured reserve. This according
Speaker 1: to team sources. ESPN reported it UH first. A final
Speaker 1: decision has not yet been made, but Bradford was not
Speaker 1: in the facility on Tuesday, UM, but he did UH
Speaker 1: or he is meeting with Dr James Andrews. Never good
Speaker 1: news to further examine that injured left and um colleen.
Speaker 1: This is one of those weird things because he played
Speaker 1: so well in Monday Night Football in week one, and
Speaker 1: then we learned as that week progressed that he had
Speaker 1: the bad knee. He came back a few weeks later,
Speaker 1: didn't re injure it, but played so poorly, which he
Speaker 1: wasn't right, and now they're talking about I R and
Speaker 1: it just makes you think that this is something of
Speaker 1: serious injury. That there might not be a cure for
Speaker 1: and that would be obviously worst case scenario. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: if they put him on i R, then he has
Speaker 1: to be there for eight weeks, so he's gonna end
Speaker 1: up done, missing the rest of the season. But his
Speaker 1: contract is up at the end of the season. So
Speaker 1: is that really the Is that the best thing for
Speaker 1: them to do? I mean, I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: about the career. I mean, this sounds like something that's
Speaker 1: a degenerative knee condition that there's not an easy solution too,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to avoid surgery. But I think it's safe.
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that Sam Bradford is
Speaker 1: worried about his future. Yeah, I don't think that the
Speaker 1: future with the Vikings is really relevant at this point.
Speaker 1: I don't think they see him as anything. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's patchy, want not tragic, But it's just such a
Speaker 1: thing for Sam Bradford in terms of luck. That literally
Speaker 1: the best performance of his career he preceded that was it?
Speaker 1: The best performance of Sam Bradford's career was followed up
Speaker 1: days later by this injury popping and arguably we were
Speaker 1: so excited. Arguably the only memorable performance of his career.
Speaker 1: And it's not a knock on. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: it is, but it's like Sam Bradford, a workman like
Speaker 1: quarterback who won some games. I can't remember any of
Speaker 1: them other than a tie. I think he was in
Speaker 1: with the Niners when the Niners were still good, but
Speaker 1: that that opener was the best thing he's produced. It
Speaker 1: has had a weird career. He was a former number
Speaker 1: one overall pick and was a disappointment, and then last
Speaker 1: year I think he set the record for completion percentage
Speaker 1: and the season started so well and to your point, great,
Speaker 1: I think you'd have a chance if if you had
Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen Sam Bradford on this team, they could
Speaker 1: be a super Bowl contender. Well, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Moving on, Josh Gordon uh is back in the NFL.
Speaker 1: The Browns announced Monday that they're long lost wide out
Speaker 1: will report to the team on Tuesday. Uh to meet
Speaker 1: with officials um from the organization following his reinstatement, the
Speaker 1: NFL announced last Wednesday, Gordon was reinstated on a conditional
Speaker 1: basis by rog with the ability to quote join the
Speaker 1: Browns to attend team meetings, engage in conditioning work and
Speaker 1: individual workouts. The earliest he could return, uh is week
Speaker 1: thirteen against the against the Chargers. Mark, Uh, what do
Speaker 1: you take out of this? I mean, we just if
Speaker 1: you're watching the video version of this show, they just
Speaker 1: showed a highlight of him catching deep strikes from Jason Campbell.
Speaker 1: That's how long it's been since he's been really relevant
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And honestly that the story that came
Speaker 1: out yesterday from g Q where he talked about the
Speaker 1: fact that he's Yeah, I mean I I I'm really
Speaker 1: kind of brooding for Josh Gordon, not from a Browns
Speaker 1: angle at all, but he talked about the fact he
Speaker 1: has a two year old daughter now and that before
Speaker 1: all this that he played almost every game he can
Speaker 1: never remember either you know, having been slightly drunk or
Speaker 1: high or or a combination of for the games and
Speaker 1: and he you know, and college. And he pointed out,
Speaker 1: and I think he's ups right about this that he's
Speaker 1: not alone, that there are other players. And I think that,
Speaker 1: and I think that he probably feels like all along
Speaker 1: that he's been singled out, but he's also you know,
Speaker 1: and he acknowledges in the piece too. He made tons
Speaker 1: of mistakes. He never really took I guess his sobriety
Speaker 1: seriously on any level. And he is. He is the
Speaker 1: guy that made the decision to go back into rehab
Speaker 1: last October. And so the point is, you hope that
Speaker 1: whole thing is progress in his life. The football version
Speaker 1: of Josh Gordon, I think it's fair to say. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say anyone should rely on anything until we see it.
Speaker 1: It's just simply it doesn't matter until it happens. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought from that g Q piece it was really
Speaker 1: interesting about him talking about how he had something in
Speaker 1: his system. For every single game, he would take shots.
Speaker 1: Maybe before a game, he would drink like half a
Speaker 1: glass of alcohol, Hall take a giant bomb rip rip,
Speaker 1: like when people smell that on him, So they let
Speaker 1: him out and seals there. Even if you're a home game,
Speaker 1: you stay in a team hotel and then they release
Speaker 1: you back to your residence for two or three hours
Speaker 1: or whatever, and you come back and he would go
Speaker 1: home and do it not at the hotel, and he'd
Speaker 1: clean himself up, you know, smell wise, I guess before
Speaker 1: he got back. But he he said that every time
Speaker 1: he went to rehab. Before this, last time, he was
Speaker 1: doing it for other people, or he was doing it
Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons. He was doing it because, you know,
Speaker 1: he wanted to play football againner he was doing it
Speaker 1: for his coaches, or his teammates or you know, his family.
Speaker 1: But this time he was doing it for himself because
Speaker 1: he actually thought that he was going to end up
Speaker 1: killing himself. And so you know, you just hope that
Speaker 1: he can really get himself back on track this time. Addiction. Man,
Speaker 1: it's no joke. Um, all right, finally in the news, Hey,
Speaker 1: good news for a wide receiver. Another wide receiver of
Speaker 1: the Steelers, Juju Smiths use there, got his driver's license.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to ride his bike. I'll need the
Speaker 1: bike no more. Although I think he should stick with
Speaker 1: the bike because he's getting a lot of juice off
Speaker 1: the bike. Um, if he goes to car now, he
Speaker 1: won't nearly have this. You're just a normal civilian. That
Speaker 1: was the whole thing. And I feel like if we
Speaker 1: were covering high school football, like a player getting their
Speaker 1: driver's license would be a big news update. I don't
Speaker 1: it's a little strange to be discussing this for an
Speaker 1: NFL player. But you told a good story in our
Speaker 1: pre prod meeting, which not to be confused with our
Speaker 1: coffee and Danish meeting ahead of the fork segments. Your
Speaker 1: first experience, UH with a license did not go to well, no, well,
Speaker 1: I mean famously a terrible driver, Mark, I'm a terrible driver.
Speaker 1: I don't even really drive at this point to begin with.
Speaker 1: But I this was like ages ago, and it was
Speaker 1: a snowy morning when I had to take the written
Speaker 1: and drive it driven version of my driver's test. Retise
Speaker 1: petrified because you had to get twelve at least twelve
Speaker 1: out of sixteen right to advance the onto the driving side.
Speaker 1: I got twelve right on the nose at some computerized program,
Speaker 1: and then I did drive around the Danbury, Connecticut, which
Speaker 1: I had never driven in my life. Basically it was
Speaker 1: like busy streets and crazy ambulances with this guy probably
Speaker 1: barely passed that version of it, barely passed that. And
Speaker 1: then on the way home, my dad was he was
Speaker 1: like very proud, he said, you know, a great job.
Speaker 1: He's like, why don't you drive home from here? And
Speaker 1: I thought okay, And it was again it was like slick,
Speaker 1: snowy streets about ten minutes into this like into this wind. Well,
Speaker 1: now he was you know, it's like, you're you're a guy.
Speaker 1: Now you have a driver's license, why would dad drive
Speaker 1: you home. I totally get the point of view. I
Speaker 1: got into a a splender bender in the middle of
Speaker 1: nowhere with this car that had been parked for like
Speaker 1: twenty yards. Somehow I hit it, and then my dad
Speaker 1: drove home the rest of the way, and I thought
Speaker 1: this wasn't and I really I didn't really drive again
Speaker 1: for I didn't want to tell my friends that I
Speaker 1: had the license because I was a little older than
Speaker 1: a lot of people in my grade, so I had
Speaker 1: one of the first people to get a car. But
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not going to play car pool guy
Speaker 1: every weekend. Downside of you got I didn't either, but
Speaker 1: I had a friend who got his license earlier, and
Speaker 1: we just they're always getting banks, although it's less of
Speaker 1: a deal for that guy because he's not just hitting
Speaker 1: park cars all over the place, like like here, here's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Mark Sessler car related fun facts. Mark,
Speaker 1: We've known each other for over seven years. Now, you've
Speaker 1: worked together for seven years. I have been in a
Speaker 1: car fewer times with you driving than the number of
Speaker 1: accidents you've been in that time two to one. I listen,
Speaker 1: I've taken myself off the road. I'm just not a
Speaker 1: good driver, and I'm okay with that. I think I
Speaker 1: drove you four blocks to a car repair shop to
Speaker 1: get your car. That's it? Yeah? No, was that it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It task correctly issues that one. Um, all right, that's
Speaker 1: what's happening. So congratulations juju Uh, that's what's happening in
Speaker 1: the news. All right, it's time, Oh, hop on those shoulders,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna find out who's got the shoulders of
Speaker 1: greatness presented by Head and Shoulders are Thursday night preview
Speaker 1: and yes, uh, this is a NFC West matchup between
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks in Glendale, Arizona the
Speaker 1: Glendale Yeah correct, um uh your thoughts on this game,
Speaker 1: gre Well, this is the game where we can maybe
Speaker 1: put the Cardinals to rest and they'll they'll be talked
Speaker 1: about in a little bit one of many four and
Speaker 1: four teams in the NFL which you just don't take seriously,
Speaker 1: which is how I view them Withdrew Stanton. Now, they
Speaker 1: do have Adrian Peterson running pretty well. It's like depends
Speaker 1: on the week whether you believe in him or not.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I have a hard time seeing
Speaker 1: them putting the ball in the end zone against the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a little bit of a trap
Speaker 1: gaming scenario for Seattle because it's in Arizona, and I
Speaker 1: could see these games are always strange. Uh, this has
Speaker 1: been a great good rivalry the last five years. It has,
Speaker 1: and it's the two best teams in November since two
Speaker 1: thousand thirteen, and that includes some bad Cardinals teams that
Speaker 1: you know kind of rose up during that month. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the thing is the key
Speaker 1: is stopping Russell Wilson. No no quarterback in the league
Speaker 1: is being leaned on harder through the air. It's like,
Speaker 1: really the only type of offense they have right now.
Speaker 1: Or him on the ground got the running game going
Speaker 1: a little late in that game, most of it was him,
Speaker 1: I would I would say, I think they may be
Speaker 1: found a little something late in that game. Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: could feel good about with Thomas Rawles that maybe Eddie
Speaker 1: Lacy getting hurt, Uh, you know proves that Michael that
Speaker 1: Michael Lombardi phrasees, sometimes you're one injury away from getting better,
Speaker 1: and I think that could be it. And and we
Speaker 1: were just watching on the video show all the highlights
Speaker 1: from Adrian Peterson, who he had thirty seven carries in
Speaker 1: this game. That's a career high for him. So I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if he I mean, yeah, like the recovery standpoint
Speaker 1: there on a short week with all of that volume.
Speaker 1: But also the Cardinals front seven played a really good
Speaker 1: game last week, and you're going up against a bad
Speaker 1: offensive line again with Seattle, so like Carlos Dansby with
Speaker 1: him in this game. Yeah, so that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: tough one for Russell Wilson. They're they're talented enough unlike
Speaker 1: the Packer Like I've been waiting for this Cardinals defense
Speaker 1: to be a little better this year. Like they're more
Speaker 1: talented than the Packers in terms of maybe the defense
Speaker 1: could carry a poor quarterback. Redskins held the Seahawks without
Speaker 1: points on the first drive ten drives last game. Uh,
Speaker 1: then the then the floodgates open. But I do think
Speaker 1: that you can game plan and stop this offense, and
Speaker 1: we've seen it multiple weeks for quarters at a time.
Speaker 1: With Seattle. Drew Stanton was okay um in the start
Speaker 1: last week, and uh, he'll probably have to be a
Speaker 1: little better than okay to beat the Seahawks. But Earl
Speaker 1: Thomas is still a question mark. You missed that game,
Speaker 1: we saw how vulnerable the secondary is there. Uh, their
Speaker 1: inability to get a stop at the end of the
Speaker 1: game against the Redskins. So that will make a major difference.
Speaker 1: And you would think on a short week and the
Speaker 1: last thing the Seahawks want to do is have Earl
Speaker 1: Thomas reaggravate a hamstring injury that maybe they gave him
Speaker 1: another week. We'll see, but that would be a big
Speaker 1: difference in this game too. Dwayne Brown really helped the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I mean, the rest of the line struggled, but he
Speaker 1: played well. Now he's going up against Chandler Jones, Like
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna make a difference for this They got.
Speaker 1: It's got some great shoulders, Dwayne. They had four I
Speaker 1: think in that Redskins game. They have got to They
Speaker 1: cannot do that every week, right they have They have
Speaker 1: a guy on their team, Jermaine Effetti I believe has
Speaker 1: four more penalties than any other offensive lineman in the
Speaker 1: league at some point. I don't know. You gotta do something,
Speaker 1: you gotta take him out or do you do something.
Speaker 1: Blair Walsh is also he will be the kicker for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Connie Foxer said he had bad shoulders. Seemed
Speaker 1: a little bit of a cheap shot, but uh no,
Speaker 1: he is field goals. I thought that'd be all over
Speaker 1: your radar. No, no, it is. It's all over my radar.
Speaker 1: But he needs to have a good game or they're
Speaker 1: going to get well. This is the rematch of one
Speaker 1: of the most famous games of last year, which had
Speaker 1: some key wild field goals. Again. Um, all right, there
Speaker 1: is your Thursday night football preview. The shoulders, Yes, shoulders,
Speaker 1: that's more than head and shoulders was expecting. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: they say in life there are no guarantees. They say
Speaker 1: there's no short thing. Well, I'm here to tell you
Speaker 1: there might just be one action. It's Husky Home Depot
Speaker 1: Husky Tools in Husky started making things for people who
Speaker 1: make things, and they did it with common sense. That
Speaker 1: meant adding function, never frills, and making tools that stood
Speaker 1: the tests of time. Ninety three years later, Husky is
Speaker 1: still making quality, crafted, durable tools and Husky stands by
Speaker 1: their hand tools for life, so they gave them a
Speaker 1: lifetime warranty. Wow. Like the Husky ratchet with position ratcheting
Speaker 1: design and longer handle that standard ratchets to do what
Speaker 1: other ratchets. Can't you into that ratchet? Huh? Or the
Speaker 1: virtually unbreakable Husky flashlight with the ability to withstand a
Speaker 1: thirty ft drop and work and up to one meter
Speaker 1: of water submersion. If they if we're talking water, uh damage,
Speaker 1: do they go to the meter system? I'm confused? That's
Speaker 1: that's a good question. With the ad copy Fulton, Well,
Speaker 1: don't use meter in this country? Why are we not
Speaker 1: using feet? I don't know. I didn't make it. Just
Speaker 1: like you always say every time someone criticizes you about
Speaker 1: the copy, I just read what's told. I just print
Speaker 1: with scent. This is um. My question for you is
Speaker 1: we need to get in touch with the Husky people
Speaker 1: to see if they have abandoned the measurement that we
Speaker 1: use in this country. Husky is gonna care at all.
Speaker 1: They're so they're so self confident in their product and
Speaker 1: in their delivery that they're not going to change a thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's on our complain. Maybe they are China,
Speaker 1: be the change that you want in the world, because
Speaker 1: our our systems terrible. I gotta get rid of it.
Speaker 1: Whoa hot take? Save it for the metric podcast Great
Speaker 1: Learn more at www dot Husky tools dot com. Husky
Speaker 1: common Sense Tools since nine with hand tools guaranteed for
Speaker 1: a lifetime, found only at the Home Depot. Alright, we'll
Speaker 1: say it. One week ago, Greg tried to take all
Speaker 1: the mails down and Colleen with them in this room
Speaker 1: about the fact that none of us have the brawn
Speaker 1: or the wherewithal to use any sort of a hand tool,
Speaker 1: that we need to hire another minute for that sign
Speaker 1: to be put up in the well, and but Dan
Speaker 1: that still stood on Dan's radar. To the fact that
Speaker 1: we've had multiple discussions and it's gotten a little testy
Speaker 1: at times about this, I will say Dan read that
Speaker 1: copy better than the other three podcasts that I've heard
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks that had the same copy.
Speaker 1: So I really liked there was, Yes, there was. It
Speaker 1: came out that Gregg doesn't own a toolbox. Uh so
Speaker 1: maybe we have some tools. I don't think there's a
Speaker 1: whole box. I'll leave it there all right here, we go.
Speaker 1: Let's move on. It is time, ladies and gentlemen. Um,
Speaker 1: you know what was she get in touch with your
Speaker 1: lovely wife? Maybe you should use a tool a toolbox.
Speaker 1: A man should have a toolbox. Yeah, you can borrow mine.
Speaker 1: She you know, we rent first of all, and then
Speaker 1: second of all, she still need tools. If your rent.
Speaker 1: You know she's saying rents a house. I say, you
Speaker 1: rent tools. That seems overly composed, but they're still upkeep
Speaker 1: for us house. That's where that's where I get some
Speaker 1: hang stuff on the wall or like like fixed things.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get anywhere with us. She mostly
Speaker 1: takes care of that sort of thinking. But I appreciate
Speaker 1: your confidence in in your manhood. It's okay if the
Speaker 1: wife handles it. You're just I don't need to do
Speaker 1: what you're saying. That's good, she's better at it. Let's
Speaker 1: move on. It is time. Yes, finally, at long last,
Speaker 1: let's stick a fork in some teams so stupid. Um.
Speaker 1: All right, So now, if you're new to the show,
Speaker 1: news to the show, we need to give a little background.
Speaker 1: What the stick of fork in series is? Um, this
Speaker 1: is listen, it's respectful, but it's also we keep it real.
Speaker 1: We keep it real. Is I know it's only week nine,
Speaker 1: uh going into week ten now, but the hard truth
Speaker 1: is only greg twelve teams make the playoffs, and that
Speaker 1: means twenty teams. Yes, twenty teams will be outside in
Speaker 1: the cold. And let's be honest, at least half those
Speaker 1: teams they already dead in the water before we get
Speaker 1: to the second half of the season. That's what we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about today. We've been doing it for
Speaker 1: a few years now, and um, last year, how do
Speaker 1: we do last year? Do you remember who do we decided?
Speaker 1: Right around this time last season we sent about eight
Speaker 1: to ten teams I think, uh to the meat grinder.
Speaker 1: Uh did we get burned last year? Yeah? The Texans
Speaker 1: I believe definitely burned us. I would say, if you're
Speaker 1: a fan of any of the teams that we fork you,
Speaker 1: if you choose to not lose total hope. There are
Speaker 1: facts to back that up, because every single year we
Speaker 1: have a team or two that we get wrong. I
Speaker 1: think there was one year where where we played it
Speaker 1: two years ago I think fairly safe, and you guys
Speaker 1: were very angry about that because you need you need
Speaker 1: to go out on a limb at some point you wait,
Speaker 1: can't wait till Christmas Eve to to decide that a
Speaker 1: team that's has four wins isn't making the playoffs. It
Speaker 1: must to be the official end of their season. And
Speaker 1: we're wrong every year. Yeah, no one, no one from
Speaker 1: these teams or their fan base should be concerned at
Speaker 1: all about our ruling today. You should be concerned because
Speaker 1: that means you're not having a great season. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean to give up hope. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just you don't want to be brought
Speaker 1: up in this conversation. But don't be so sensitive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: calm down, um. And one last note, um, if we
Speaker 1: do get a team wrong, we will make a charitable
Speaker 1: donation we promise to the city where that team plays.
Speaker 1: And I thought, just because Colleen has over three shows
Speaker 1: and then, although we haven't had these discussion, probably makes
Speaker 1: more money than us. Colleen. I don't sorry the sad
Speaker 1: truth as well, but we're still gonna go with you, Colleen.
Speaker 1: Colleen will make a charitable donation. Uh this year. I'm
Speaker 1: just me on topic to being a sad, sad truth
Speaker 1: that she's female. I didn't quite track that coming other
Speaker 1: but less money. Well know, Colleen, Colleen is pain making
Speaker 1: more than probably the three of us combined. So that's
Speaker 1: that's fantastic, good for her. Um, So thank you Colleen
Speaker 1: for all this. Now, how do we decide it's okay? Colleen,
Speaker 1: no one ever actually follows through with this empty promise.
Speaker 1: We have Mark. Now, this is when we discuss how
Speaker 1: we get to this. We decide we have to get
Speaker 1: together and how we meet. The first thing in the morning,
Speaker 1: I'm talking five am. We beat the roosters to this
Speaker 1: conference room at a local holiday and there's Danish coffee.
Speaker 1: Um holiday, a Jewish delicacy, Greg famous one. I'm locking
Speaker 1: on it. Locks. We get some locks, maybe a little
Speaker 1: little Kanish, you know, and we get together. They say coffee,
Speaker 1: he said, you did little orange juice. And where we
Speaker 1: go and we decide which teams get forked and what
Speaker 1: we did today in the in the in the service
Speaker 1: of saving some time. There are seven teams that we
Speaker 1: all decided over Danish Gregg that we're don't even get
Speaker 1: the You don't even get the the enjoyment of hearing
Speaker 1: us talk about your team. That's the problem. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: you're not. Yeah, it's just it's we all unanimously agree.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's that we're not breaking any news
Speaker 1: here that the forty right, It's it's self evident that
Speaker 1: some of these teams don't need a lot of cheddar
Speaker 1: here are. We call this the Damned seven, the Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty and Ironers, the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Houston Texas
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. So it's like kind of a brogue that
Speaker 1: you have, but not really happening there, kind of who
Speaker 1: would have thought that the Texans and Bucks don't even
Speaker 1: merit a discussion? But I was sorry I read it.
Speaker 1: I was surprised, but that we all two and six.
Speaker 1: They're starting quarterbacks after a few weeks. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: been a bad year. There's no hope for the Bucks
Speaker 1: and the Texans. You you were potentially a super Bowl
Speaker 1: contender if J. J. Watton, Deshaun Watson we're still playing,
Speaker 1: but they're not. Tom Savage is not saving your season.
Speaker 1: Although that's what we said about broadcast Wiler at this
Speaker 1: point last year, We got them absolutely incorrect. Last year,
Speaker 1: Tom Savage maybe real but the playoff chances for his
Speaker 1: team not really vastly less Bears fans. Bears fans could
Speaker 1: make a case that we're short circuiting them a little.
Speaker 1: They're feisty, they've got a defense. Crazier things have happened,
Speaker 1: but in their hearts, when you're three and five, you
Speaker 1: basically gotta go six or seven of eight down the stretch.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears are doing that. Now, part
Speaker 1: two of this exercise, we're gonna each nominate two teams.
Speaker 1: Uh for a discussion, general discussion Again, to be forked,
Speaker 1: it has to be unanimous forking. Uh to fork this right? Uh?
Speaker 1: So Mark, get us going nominated team? Alright, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: nominate a team that should have been I think in
Speaker 1: the damned eight if we had not had damn seven.
Speaker 1: And that is the Cincinnati have the same ring, you know,
Speaker 1: doesn't have the same ring neither this This team does
Speaker 1: not have a playoff ring. They don't have anything in
Speaker 1: their books and that I enjoy it all. They're hard
Speaker 1: to watch. The offense of the Bengals is putrid. The
Speaker 1: defense has a little bit going on, but that what
Speaker 1: does that mean when your team is getting When Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton Is getting taken to the turf fourteen times a game,
Speaker 1: didn't have anything going on. I'm telling you this team
Speaker 1: could have been forked three weeks ago. They're on my
Speaker 1: radar all season long, and they're out of my They're
Speaker 1: out of my life now. It should have happened a
Speaker 1: week ago, two weeks ago, three weeks ago. I didn't
Speaker 1: believe in them before the season. You're gone, Bengals. You're out,
Speaker 1: well not out, you're nominating them to be. I will
Speaker 1: lose trust for anyone that that fights for this team.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about I'm tempted to just for the value
Speaker 1: of seeing what happens to Mark if if I mean
Speaker 1: the point, I mean, I'll live. But that's also that's
Speaker 1: also not treating the segment with any sort of dignity.
Speaker 1: Well Gregs used to do on that. Look, I created
Speaker 1: this segment so I can make any rules I want
Speaker 1: on it. And I'm saying that was on a different platform,
Speaker 1: but I mean I did it here too. What else
Speaker 1: all right? Here? The idea was you're saying the season
Speaker 1: is totally over and could the Bengals rally? They do
Speaker 1: have some talent, probably not, but well it's crazier things
Speaker 1: have happened. So outside of the make it very clear
Speaker 1: that you created the segment. What do you have to offer.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, Yeah, I guess I'll keep them. Okay,
Speaker 1: ends to it really wasn't going to. Okay, you don't know.
Speaker 1: If you don't believe in it, don't don't give him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you do, I just want you to actually believe it.
Speaker 1: Not pressure right now, great creative a game. No one
Speaker 1: will affect him. I'm just saying my game, not saying Adam, Greg,
Speaker 1: you're saying if anyone you're lucky. I'm letting you even
Speaker 1: use the wording of this game I for on two platforms.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead of what are you gonna for
Speaker 1: him or not? No? Yeah, we're getting for him. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think that might affect also a Greg Sandwich bet
Speaker 1: if I recall I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm not sure. Um.
Speaker 1: I rewatching the Bengals game yesterday. They are so lifeless.
Speaker 1: You pointed one great thing out they when they kneel
Speaker 1: on the ball to end the game when you're losing.
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to think that you're still you
Speaker 1: got some fighting? Great? They still can't get Joe Mixing owing.
Speaker 1: It's like, I just I don't care. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Dolphins in this one. You need
Speaker 1: you have to nominate them. I'm nominating following protocol. Greg,
Speaker 1: this this is up to standards. Okay, cool, I'm nominating
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and salty and everybody a little salty day.
Speaker 1: I like it. They're coming off they're coming off their
Speaker 1: best offensive performance of the year. But don't, I mean,
Speaker 1: pay no mind to that at all. The offense is
Speaker 1: still on pace to be the worst offense statistically in
Speaker 1: team history, their last in so many different categories, points
Speaker 1: per game, yards per play, big plays, offensive touchdowns. I mean,
Speaker 1: this team just it stinks. There's nothing that makes me
Speaker 1: optimistic when I'm watching them and they get rid of Jgi,
Speaker 1: and I know that they're two backs. They did okay,
Speaker 1: and they and they looked good. But I cannot get
Speaker 1: behind this team. Last year, actially in that division. Last year,
Speaker 1: I saved us from making a charitable donate to the
Speaker 1: city of Miami, a real hero move by me, because
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are nominated at this time last year, and
Speaker 1: I said, no, let's let's give it a few weeks
Speaker 1: and I feel the same way about this Dolphins team.
Speaker 1: Do I believe in j Cutler, No? But do I
Speaker 1: believe in the a f C, especially the back end
Speaker 1: of the FC? Not at all. So if the Dolphins
Speaker 1: at four and four right now, they're the seventh seed
Speaker 1: right now, if the season ended today, they wouldn't make
Speaker 1: the plays. But they're right outside the playoffs. Um, this
Speaker 1: is saying they have no hope. What's so can I
Speaker 1: say that they have no chance? They I can't say that.
Speaker 1: So I, well, we could just play it safe with
Speaker 1: all the teams. How about we do that? Well? I
Speaker 1: like that response, like that attitude. There's only four teams
Speaker 1: I a f C that even have five plus wins, right.
Speaker 1: Do you remember one year where I think I tried
Speaker 1: to kill the segment by saying, let's fork everyone, and
Speaker 1: it worked. Three teams came back to get at us,
Speaker 1: but I guess it didn't kill the second. Well, we
Speaker 1: have three straight primetime games to watch the Dolphins, so
Speaker 1: lucky us un otherwise. So yeah, they're in Carolina on
Speaker 1: Monday night. I'm blocking this fork? But am I alone?
Speaker 1: Do you got Greg and Mark just because of the
Speaker 1: a f C thing? I just I think one of
Speaker 1: these weird, crappy teams is going to make some sort
Speaker 1: of a run, and the Dolphins did it last year.
Speaker 1: They were just as I would think that the Bengals,
Speaker 1: to me, would be more likely to make a run
Speaker 1: than the Dolphins. Evolved, I would go with the Bengals,
Speaker 1: so I would fork him. I'm saying, by that logic,
Speaker 1: Bengals are gone, but two out of four is not
Speaker 1: going to get it done. I'm sorry, Colleen, do not
Speaker 1: take it out on us personally. I think the thirty
Speaker 1: first best team in the league according to football Outsiders
Speaker 1: before last week, which they weren't too bad. That might
Speaker 1: have been one of their better games. All right, I
Speaker 1: will nominate the team now, and I'm gonna go big,
Speaker 1: go home situation, Go big or go home. They say
Speaker 1: I ain't going home, going big, So I'm gonna nominate
Speaker 1: the defending NFC champion Atlanta Falcons. Now. They like the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: are four and four. They are projected they are eighth
Speaker 1: seed right now. Uh, one game out of the playoffs,
Speaker 1: one game out of playoffs, all that checks out. So
Speaker 1: I'm basing this more on just what I've seen from
Speaker 1: this team and this team to me doesn't have it.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, I don't think this team has it.
Speaker 1: I think they the offense is legitimately uh lost, and
Speaker 1: I think there will be changes in the leadership after
Speaker 1: the season. I don't think it's something that gets fixed. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't think that Falcons are going to the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So I see them as a five hundred team that
Speaker 1: they'll continue to scuffle and disappoint and put up twenty
Speaker 1: point games, and I don't think they're gonna find it
Speaker 1: in the second half. That's why I nominate them. And
Speaker 1: I understand if it's gonna get blocked here, but I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna put it out there now that I I
Speaker 1: think I've seen enough of Atlanta to say this ain't
Speaker 1: there year. You have my vote, because it's not just
Speaker 1: that they don't seem to have it. So many other
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC right now are starting to get
Speaker 1: their sea legs under them. I I think the Falcons
Speaker 1: get I can see him as an eight and eight
Speaker 1: team that misses a party. And I know it's a
Speaker 1: little bit edgy there. Four and four, but yes, you
Speaker 1: have My schedule is a strong case against them because
Speaker 1: they have the Cowboys, the Seahawks. They have the Saints twice,
Speaker 1: They've had the easier part of their schedule already. They
Speaker 1: have the Panthers coming up to again, and the Vikings.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of the top teams. Basically, all the
Speaker 1: teams in front of them. You could look at it
Speaker 1: like they're they're in trouble. Then again, they at least
Speaker 1: can take out the teams in front of them. They
Speaker 1: they've played too well for me to discount them. I
Speaker 1: definitely keep them alive. I wouldn't lock them. I'm with
Speaker 1: you on it. I would I would not I would
Speaker 1: would you would? I would fork them. I'm with you
Speaker 1: on this. I mean, we have zero predictive value in general.
Speaker 1: But this was the team we thought maybe as the
Speaker 1: best roster in the entire NFL going into the season.
Speaker 1: We talked about on this podcast and there four and four.
Speaker 1: Even their wins haven't been good though. I mean, you
Speaker 1: look at the win over the Jets that wasn't convincing
Speaker 1: and they barely beat the Bears, right, They've been bad
Speaker 1: at home, They looked so choke against the Patriots. Disappointing. Greg.
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep them all live. Let's see save us
Speaker 1: or if we're left smarting, I'll keep them alive. Luck
Speaker 1: is the most important factor in a in a team schedule,
Speaker 1: they get a little lucky, they can make a run. Alright, Greg,
Speaker 1: nominate somebody. I will nominate and I know, uh, because
Speaker 1: you're sitting to my left, Dan, this will be tough.
Speaker 1: But in in Mark's idea of being a little bolder
Speaker 1: and in predicting, I'm gonna nominate the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: Eve been a nice story. But people making a case that, oh,
Speaker 1: they've been playing pretty well. They've lost three out of four.
Speaker 1: They unlike almost anyone that we're bringing up, has five losses.
Speaker 1: So they essentially have to run the table saving one loss,
Speaker 1: may maybe nine wins, and they probably have to go safe.
Speaker 1: I'm saying they gotta go six out of seven. They're
Speaker 1: not a good team. They're a team that plays hard,
Speaker 1: but they do nothing well. In particular. There's a reason
Speaker 1: that they're buried on the Football Outsiders Efficiency, you know,
Speaker 1: in the final seven or eight teams, because they're a
Speaker 1: team that's mostly playing over their heads. And if they
Speaker 1: play to their best ability, I think they can get
Speaker 1: to eight wins. And so that's not enough. I don't
Speaker 1: think they have any chance of winning six out of
Speaker 1: seven games down the stretch. When you have what do
Speaker 1: you have the Patriots schedules? You have the Patriots twice.
Speaker 1: You have some possible wins, but you have the Patriots twice.
Speaker 1: You have the cheer of the Patriots once they already bare.
Speaker 1: They should have beaten the Patriots in that game. Weren't
Speaker 1: for the officials, Wow, it could have been. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that they would have been a lock to win,
Speaker 1: and if they closed the nuts, fine, But I'm saying
Speaker 1: that they played the Patriots tougher than anyone have expected.
Speaker 1: They played the Bucks this week, then get to five
Speaker 1: and five, not a human being on the planet. The
Speaker 1: Bucks game points proves my point I think, which is
Speaker 1: that would anyone really be that surprised if the Jets
Speaker 1: lost to the Bucks? Is any game a lot? I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if almost any team outside of three
Speaker 1: teams loses to anyone NFL. To me, they're best case
Speaker 1: scenarios about eight and eight, so I'm not I would
Speaker 1: feel totally confident. These are the teams that are ahead
Speaker 1: of the Jets right now. The Raiders four and five
Speaker 1: the Ravens four and five, the Dolphins four and four.
Speaker 1: So it's like it's not like they're all out of
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You need to pass them and then get
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. All right, all right, well that's a
Speaker 1: that's an obviously a good point. But okay, you have
Speaker 1: the Titans, uh, their division leader. You have the Jaguars
Speaker 1: at five and three. I'm not worried about the other teams,
Speaker 1: worried about the Jets. I don't think the Jets are.
Speaker 1: You couldn't have me to bring up the teams that
Speaker 1: were in the right I have just saying there's they're
Speaker 1: not gonna pass team because they're not gonna win enough games.
Speaker 1: All right, that's fair. I'm obviously gonna block you, but
Speaker 1: not because I'm a homer, and because more because I
Speaker 1: don't believe in really of the teams in the league.
Speaker 1: So anytime you look at the schedule, oh, it looks
Speaker 1: like a tough schedule, it's like, we'll see, we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens down the stretch. It's the same way that
Speaker 1: that Mark was betting, not betting against the Bengals. To me,
Speaker 1: they both have five losses. You just think they're not
Speaker 1: a very good team. I think the Jets are a
Speaker 1: better team than the Bengals. Let's start right there. And
Speaker 1: if the A s C could easily send an eight
Speaker 1: win team into the wild card round and and the Jets,
Speaker 1: and I know it's you can look at all the
Speaker 1: metrics and they're not wrong and all that stuff, but
Speaker 1: it's like everyone had them losing to the Bills on
Speaker 1: Thursday night and they waxed the Bills, a team that
Speaker 1: we've been called beautifully coached and playing above their heads.
Speaker 1: If Jets take them out and they play like that
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, they have a chance. That
Speaker 1: was the anomaly. That was by far their best game
Speaker 1: of the season, and we'll see if they build on
Speaker 1: Put it this way, I'm not with you, Greg, but
Speaker 1: if they do go to Tampa and lay an egg
Speaker 1: against Ryan Patrick, you four and then you're yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a team on paper that shouldn't be doing what
Speaker 1: it's doing right now, but it does it every week.
Speaker 1: It's surprising. And I think you tweeted about it, Dan,
Speaker 1: you said that they're a really good bad team. There
Speaker 1: they are, and that's so true when you watch the Bowl.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a weird year. Alright, one more time,
Speaker 1: we got to kind of move. Colleen has her meeting over.
Speaker 1: I have a meeting. I gotta go to go ahead, Mark,
Speaker 1: I will go Ravens and look at the Ravens. I
Speaker 1: will nominate the Baltimore Ravens. And it's not just that
Speaker 1: I'm trying to eliminate the entire a f C North,
Speaker 1: but the Ravens to me, have an unwatchable, unfixable offense. Uh.
Speaker 1: That one concern is in two thousand twelve, they looked
Speaker 1: about this bad at points and then suddenly became a
Speaker 1: super Bowl team. I just don't see that with this.
Speaker 1: I like their defense and you know, every other game basically,
Speaker 1: but the Ravens to me get left out of this party.
Speaker 1: They their offense is going to sink them. I I
Speaker 1: like the I like what you're going for hair Mark,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Baltimore. You want all the teams, and they
Speaker 1: have seen North to be as forked as the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 1: That's what this is about, is well, the Browns are
Speaker 1: forked by like Halloween every single year that I work here,
Speaker 1: So I could care less about Your point being is
Speaker 1: that it's a terrible division. It's it's an overrated division,
Speaker 1: and if you just started fresh with football this year,
Speaker 1: people would not think highly of the Ravens the way
Speaker 1: that they do because of what they've done in the past,
Speaker 1: which is fair. Let's go around and I can't stand
Speaker 1: the offense. It's so boring to watch. They can't get
Speaker 1: anything done. This team is not playing uh in the
Speaker 1: second week of January, it's not happening. I'm forcing him.
Speaker 1: I'll keep him alive. Really, yeah, the Ravens. They have
Speaker 1: a defense, they have something going for him. Why not?
Speaker 1: Is that another shot at Mark? No, I think they
Speaker 1: have a good defense too, but I just like not
Speaker 1: a playoff team in my book, Like, well, that's the
Speaker 1: point is we're always looking backwards. We have no clue
Speaker 1: what's going to happen forward and the exercise no, I know,
Speaker 1: but the Ravens. The Ravens are a team that has
Speaker 1: showed many times that they can improve throughout the season,
Speaker 1: that they have a good coach, that that they have
Speaker 1: a defense, they have something going for them. It's they
Speaker 1: would need to get lucky in a really bad a
Speaker 1: f C. It's the same reason why Dan is keeping
Speaker 1: the Jets alive. To me to say that that the Jets,
Speaker 1: that the Ravens would have no chance to make a
Speaker 1: little bit of a run from four and five the
Speaker 1: same record as the Jets, seem Jets, here's the difference
Speaker 1: since you brought up the Jets. The Jets may not
Speaker 1: do anything extremely well, but they do a lot of
Speaker 1: things proficiently, and that's why they've been able to hang
Speaker 1: in all these games. Play defense, uh, score points. They've
Speaker 1: been a below average defense for the season. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is Greg's kind of the expert here.
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Ravens, why do by yourself? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm saying the Ravens have an iced defense. They have
Speaker 1: a topic. You're not letting me finish my point, right,
Speaker 1: The Ravens have one of the worst offenses in football,
Speaker 1: and to me, that's enough for me to say they're
Speaker 1: just not gonna win games because they're not going to
Speaker 1: score enough points. They have a dreadful offense and their
Speaker 1: quarterback and their lack of playmakers. To me, that's a
Speaker 1: death knell for them. The one to go. The one
Speaker 1: concern I'd have and I'm forking him. Still, their schedule
Speaker 1: is a little light, right, That's that's the only different
Speaker 1: other teams are looking at the Ravens and saying the
Speaker 1: same thing about the Ravens. That's the only difference between
Speaker 1: them and the Jets is I look at them and
Speaker 1: I see like, Wow, they got a chance every week,
Speaker 1: and it's the race. I'm going out and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: sticking with it, and it's not happening because Greg's doesn't didn't. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's that's what I was I was saying, if if
Speaker 1: if you look at these two teams and you look
Speaker 1: at the schedules, I give the Ravens a chance to
Speaker 1: get from a four and five. It's tough to get
Speaker 1: from four and five to the playoffs. You pretty much
Speaker 1: have to get lucky every week. Alright, who's up? Is
Speaker 1: it all right? I'm gonna nominate the Packers. I know
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I feel like this is the first year
Speaker 1: that you would that they would be mentioned in this segment.
Speaker 1: But as we talked about at the top of the show,
Speaker 1: the offense, they can't score points. We saw Brett Hunley,
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike McCarthy had two weeks to basically put
Speaker 1: a game plan together here, and the game plan was
Speaker 1: for Hunley to just throw all the passes basically at
Speaker 1: or behind the line of scrimmage, and and when he
Speaker 1: did go deep, it was like he just held onto
Speaker 1: the ball so long. Like Greg said, I mean, this team,
Speaker 1: I have no confidence that they're going to be able
Speaker 1: to gain any ground in the division because now the
Speaker 1: Lions are they have the tiebreaker, and so they're even
Speaker 1: with the Packers now in the division with the Vikings
Speaker 1: on top. They play the Bears this week. I just
Speaker 1: I lost any faith in Yeah, I just don't think
Speaker 1: Hunley is gonna be able to move the team. He
Speaker 1: doesn't look ready for that type of responsibility. So they
Speaker 1: don't really have anything to hang their hat on. They
Speaker 1: don't have something that gives them hope for all right,
Speaker 1: I will nominate the Super Bowl fifty champions, the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 1: Now do they have something to hang a hat on? Yeah,
Speaker 1: their defense, it's a great defense, but even that UH
Speaker 1: unit has shown some signs of slippage. And maybe that's
Speaker 1: all tied into the how the offense is so badly underperformed.
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeons on the bench, brock Oswiler comes in and
Speaker 1: now apparently they're running Brock out for another start, And
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't imagine that's gonna go extremely Well,
Speaker 1: they're three, they're three and five with the Patriots up next.
Speaker 1: Uh and and to me that that spells three and six.
Speaker 1: And then you're getting into that situation. Even if it's
Speaker 1: a down year where nine wins gets you in or
Speaker 1: even a crazier with eight, you still have to almost
Speaker 1: play folowless football. I don't think this team has it
Speaker 1: in them. So I am nominating the Denver Broncos. I
Speaker 1: will I will stamp that. Yes, rubber stamp, rubber stamping that.
Speaker 1: I'm into it as well. I mean, especially after last
Speaker 1: week against the Eagles. I thought that everybody was talking
Speaker 1: about the defense and how great it was, and then
Speaker 1: the Eagles carved them up. Yeah, Crazier things have happened
Speaker 1: than the Broncos making a run, like I don't think like,
Speaker 1: but you gotta pick some teams, and I don't think
Speaker 1: they're going to be one of those teams you picked
Speaker 1: their out. I wouldn't want no, wait a second, I
Speaker 1: don't want any like that either. It's fine, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: okay with it. I'm good, Broncos done. Yeah, sorry, You've
Speaker 1: had a lot of nice times, Greg Carson Palmer went
Speaker 1: down for the season. The Cardinals season was over. They
Speaker 1: played you know, Lotti da You went on in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Not too excited about that. There's there's almost no way
Speaker 1: in a better conference to imagine Drew Stanton winning enough games.
Speaker 1: So I nominate the Cardinals. Easy for me. I agree.
Speaker 1: They were definitely setting the record of four king teams
Speaker 1: at five or within one of Dancing with the Devil.
Speaker 1: There's definitely no way that all of these teams don't
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I would put a sandwich on that.
Speaker 1: Someone beats well, we're a cross pollinating the games. I
Speaker 1: like it, especially after Like, I don't know Adrian Peterson,
Speaker 1: he looked really good this past week. I can't really
Speaker 1: say that he hasn't gotten out of bad sense of
Speaker 1: the game. But I know, I know, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: fork him yet. I'm not gonna fork him yet. I
Speaker 1: like that Colleen a blockade. Yeah I'm blocking it. That's
Speaker 1: not actually how the game works. Yeah, alright, Greg, alright,
Speaker 1: I like Colleen's radar scenario. I love this as legs
Speaker 1: um alright, So the Cardinals do not get blocked all
Speaker 1: right here. In addition to those seven teams from earlier Browns, Niners, Giants, Colts, Bucks, Texans,
Speaker 1: and Bears. We add to that list three more teams
Speaker 1: for ten. Ten out of thirty two are done. The
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, the Green Bay Packers, and the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: all forked by the Round the NFL podcast. Now again,
Speaker 1: we can be wrong, and if we are wrong, Colleen's
Speaker 1: taken out her purse, one of those big giant mom
Speaker 1: pocketbooks from the eighties, and she'll dig out her check
Speaker 1: book and she'll cut a big one. Yep, I'm basically
Speaker 1: new money. Now. Chargers and Raiders didn't even get mentioned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chargers and Raiders. We we kind of discussed. We ran
Speaker 1: out of time, kind of ran out of time, but uh,
Speaker 1: we all like them and the Raiders. Colleen's gotta go.
Speaker 1: And Christian Anderson behind the glass a very almost a
Speaker 1: strangely passionate endorsement in terms of let's get the Seahawks
Speaker 1: um forked in week nine, which is just a wild,
Speaker 1: wild thing going on. I would still they were my
Speaker 1: Super Bowl pick. I would still stick with that. Why not, Christian?
Speaker 1: Do you want to explain the mania behind that that push? Well,
Speaker 1: I know it's Greg's game. But I thought this was
Speaker 1: an instance where you're supposed to kind of go out
Speaker 1: on a limb and not just use Mars Brown. So
Speaker 1: I thought the team that perhaps down the stretch is
Speaker 1: gonna have some trouble. A team that has to play
Speaker 1: the Eagles at Jacksonville at Dallas against the Rams and
Speaker 1: the mess go down the field in thirty five seconds
Speaker 1: in four plays, the legion of Boom is no more. Oh,
Speaker 1: I like, you know, I like that question. That's a
Speaker 1: playoff rount you just mentioned for the Seattle now Christian?
Speaker 1: Just one more thing though, yes, um, because I know
Speaker 1: you've already made your formal nomination. Yes, do you honestly
Speaker 1: believe the Seahawks have no chance of making the playoffs?
Speaker 1: I think they have a chance. I just think their
Speaker 1: chances there's not as great as some people make them.
Speaker 1: So it's more like an onion hanger. If they have
Speaker 1: a chance, then you don't for them. Although then we
Speaker 1: get really down the weeds, because do we really believe
Speaker 1: none of these teams have even the smallest and of
Speaker 1: course we I sincerely believe all these teams are dead.
Speaker 1: Maybe the Boom Dan, you know, I know you're a
Speaker 1: music guy. Maybe they should be sub pop out of
Speaker 1: Seattle because they've lost it. Yeah, they're not no longer
Speaker 1: a major label. Uh. It's like when Nirvana went to
Speaker 1: what was it again? In records? Yes, although some people
Speaker 1: would probably say Nirvana was better when they were subpop.
Speaker 1: I mean bleach little bleach talk on the but like this,
Speaker 1: we've bled into an entirely different production. Alright, Christian, Uh
Speaker 1: that that was not accepted as a nomination to the
Speaker 1: Greater Group, But I think it was important that you're
Speaker 1: you got your voice there because we admired it. The
Speaker 1: you know, the onions involved, that's all Christian Anderson mind
Speaker 1: the best, doesn't Anyone that wants to get up Seahawks Twitter,
Speaker 1: you know, has my sympathy. You have a Twitter handle
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks fans can't get at you on. You
Speaker 1: can find me a Chris Anderson sixty s e N
Speaker 1: like Hans christ bring it right, yeah, and with your
Speaker 1: little tweets and Seattle Northwest, I like the Seahawks. No, no,
Speaker 1: you can't comments by you. You're not. There's no saving
Speaker 1: you understood the A t N video show that Christian Anderson.
Speaker 1: So finally produces for us. Will go up live on
Speaker 1: our website tonight, Uh, Tuesday at you would think I
Speaker 1: would remember, this isn't nine. I believe it's sixty Western
Speaker 1: time or Pacific time in Western th old Western time,
Speaker 1: six thirty Pacific time, nine thirty Eastern time overseas. That's
Speaker 1: your problem, not at So let's good the way we
Speaker 1: arranged that they miss at least half the show. All right,
Speaker 1: So here we go started over. It is nine pm Eastern,
Speaker 1: six pm Pacific overseas. Still a major logistical problem for
Speaker 1: you half an hour before what you would have had
Speaker 1: to figure out initially, all right, and so check that
Speaker 1: out the A t N Video Show. It's our Tuesday
Speaker 1: show every week. It's uh, it's up on the website
Speaker 1: and we'll be back on Thursday. We will recap the
Speaker 1: game that we previewed today and then go into a
Speaker 1: breakdown of all the games in week. Ted Mark mark
Speaker 1: just about over the season. Now we're just you know,
Speaker 1: we're going into the final home stretch. I think now
Speaker 1: we are at the midpoint. Everyone is so in love
Speaker 1: with I think it's about now. It's maybe after this
Speaker 1: week is the midpoint or after next week? Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a little confusing, a lot of confusing things on today's show.
Speaker 1: Let's let's end it, Let's let's let's move forward. That's
Speaker 1: a great stand. Handsas signing off for Quiet Storm, The
Speaker 1: Tiny Box, Yo Boss, Christian Anderson behind the Glass and
Speaker 1: Lindsay fault On. It's out Thursday,
