Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast will not be playing card
Speaker 1: games at West Bachelor Park. Welcome back to another edition
Speaker 1: of the Around the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Kansas,
Speaker 1: and I am joined in a room filled with heroes,
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Chris Westling, and Greg Rosenhal. What is up, boys,
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, Welcome back to America. I'm going crazy. I
Speaker 1: can guarantee there will be no cards played at my
Speaker 1: bachelor party, because if there are, it ceases to be
Speaker 1: a bachelor party and it's just a bunch of men
Speaker 1: standing around wondering why west took an uber all the
Speaker 1: way back to l A. There will be no cards
Speaker 1: at a bachelor party. Oh yeah, four thousand mile uber. WHOA.
Speaker 1: I don't plan to play cards bachel I mean my
Speaker 1: my long held stance on parlor games sides with this
Speaker 1: ideally and perfectly. There was a big I know we've
Speaker 1: talked about this on the podcast, but since it's come
Speaker 1: up now, I'm gonna bring it up again. There was
Speaker 1: a craze in our country, um, and it's back. We're
Speaker 1: back in our country. By the way, it was a
Speaker 1: great time in England, but now we're back on the
Speaker 1: shore and on the reason I said, I'm going crazy
Speaker 1: because I wake up at four am every day. Uh,
Speaker 1: and that and that's not good for the soul. But um,
Speaker 1: And around two thousand to two thousand three, poker on
Speaker 1: television was a big deal. And and then if you
Speaker 1: had uh an aunt or a mother or a girlfriend,
Speaker 1: the whole thing was, oh, well, he's a twenty two
Speaker 1: year old guy, let's get him a poker set. But no, no,
Speaker 1: no one ever asked anybody, do you actually play poker?
Speaker 1: Which I never did, but I ended up having getting
Speaker 1: like coming into three different poker sets over a three
Speaker 1: year period that are collecting dust in my parents basement.
Speaker 1: It's also highly annoying because it became the super trendy
Speaker 1: thing for like a bunch of like bro actors to
Speaker 1: like play and hollowed out like Hollywood basements together. And
Speaker 1: it appeared in multiple films right at that time, where
Speaker 1: it's like that guy from It was done best in
Speaker 1: Ocean's eleven Rhoda World. When I first arted, there was
Speaker 1: essentially twenty employees in one or two room. I feel
Speaker 1: a massive humble bride coming here, and seventeen or eight
Speaker 1: to them, eighteen of them just putting copious amounts of
Speaker 1: money and addicted to online and making lots of money.
Speaker 1: It seemed like an online gambling poker at the time.
Speaker 1: What was your stance on gambling back then, Greg, I
Speaker 1: mean I was four. I never played poker, so upset.
Speaker 1: I was not one of those people. Interesting. Uh, this
Speaker 1: is the Wednesday edition of the Around the NFL podcast.
Speaker 1: We got back to the States on Monday evening around
Speaker 1: uh five thirty local time, So we are adjusting, but
Speaker 1: there is no rest for the weary because we are
Speaker 1: now in the middle of the ramp up two Week two.
Speaker 1: In fact, we have games or a game tomorrow. What
Speaker 1: is the Thursday night game this week? See, I'm just
Speaker 1: getting called banger Kings of the North. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a whole thing though. Everything's King of the North. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty excited for this. That's that's a. That's a good game.
Speaker 1: It is a good game. It's one of the like
Speaker 1: week to Thursday night. It really you depend on what
Speaker 1: happens week one and the fact that those two teams
Speaker 1: look pretty spicy in week one. Are we even going
Speaker 1: to talk about that game? Uh? Well, we'll definitely. Now
Speaker 1: that we're getting back into we can talk about it
Speaker 1: if we will want today. But now that we're getting
Speaker 1: back into our normal UH schedule back from the UK,
Speaker 1: we will have our UM late Thursday night pod will
Speaker 1: go up UH late Thursday night that makes sense, and
Speaker 1: that will have the recap of the Ravens and Bengals
Speaker 1: in addition to a full rundown preview of the week
Speaker 1: ahead on Sunday and Monday. And UH this is part
Speaker 1: of our new schedule, so let's just get a little
Speaker 1: housekeeping out of the way. No longer a Tuesday podcast, UM,
Speaker 1: but don't get upset. We have a Wednesday podcast and
Speaker 1: filling that spot on Tuesday will be our brand new
Speaker 1: Twitter show, which we're really excited about. That's gonna launch
Speaker 1: UM next Tuesday, ahead of week three. And what we
Speaker 1: can promise you is that it is worth checking out
Speaker 1: because it will be different than the podcast. It won't
Speaker 1: be a video version of what you hear three times
Speaker 1: a week in the around around the NFL podcast. We
Speaker 1: wanted to be different. Now how we figured out what
Speaker 1: it is yet? No, in fact, we have a meeting
Speaker 1: coming up UH later today we're going to start trying
Speaker 1: to put together what the show is. But we know
Speaker 1: it's an We know it's an hour. We know you
Speaker 1: can get it on Twitter, so whether you're here in
Speaker 1: the States or your overseas, uh, everyone has access to it.
Speaker 1: In fact, we got a bunch of excited people in
Speaker 1: the UK that said, oh this this will land about
Speaker 1: eleven pm. So it's kind of a late night show.
Speaker 1: So uh, that's that starts next Tuesday. So our new
Speaker 1: schedule is Sunday Night Flagship Show, Tuesday Live Twitter show
Speaker 1: at a time to be Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday after in
Speaker 1: the in the West Coast, Tuesday evening on the East Coast.
Speaker 1: I have some news that it might be Tuesday's at
Speaker 1: one pm Pacific Pacific. Okay, Wednesday today regular our second
Speaker 1: show the week, and then the Thursday night early Friday
Speaker 1: preview show. So we know that the Wednesday, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a gap between the podcast. So we're
Speaker 1: here in the morning. They'll be up a little earlier
Speaker 1: in the day on Wednesday. By the way, if you're
Speaker 1: worth anything at all as an American living on the
Speaker 1: western half of the country, you stop down what you're
Speaker 1: doing at work. Uh you you you angle out some
Speaker 1: time and make sure that you're watching this Twitter show
Speaker 1: live as it's happening, so you can have that live experience. Yeah. Plus,
Speaker 1: like Mark didn't go to the store deal with people
Speaker 1: in their offices. That's simply like, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 1: schedule a meeting or do what I'm supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing at my job. No stop. It's like Mark. Mark
Speaker 1: didn't go to the store and buy fancy new shirts
Speaker 1: for you not to see them on this Twitter show.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna put on makeup and have his hair
Speaker 1: all did every Tuesday for you to not see what
Speaker 1: he's doing. Because Mark's body is looking good, he's gonna
Speaker 1: look great, and he's not see it and it's not
Speaker 1: looking good. Right now, I still look I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: Out of place on at this point. Out of place,
Speaker 1: all right, So today's show, let's get into it. So
Speaker 1: that's a little, uh update on the season. So don't
Speaker 1: get that we're bumping the show from Tuesday Wednesday. Be
Speaker 1: glad that now there's four shows a week, one of
Speaker 1: them a new experience on Twitter. So that's to come
Speaker 1: next week. Now today's show, Uh here back in America. Uh.
Speaker 1: Week one fully in the books now including my New
Speaker 1: York Football Jets, which we're gonna get to later. Uh,
Speaker 1: and a new segment called It's not too early to
Speaker 1: say that ellipses? I like it, Erica, what is an ellipses?
Speaker 1: Dot dot dot? Now? This is Culver City. Shouldn't they
Speaker 1: just call it dot dot dot by Now I like ellipses.
Speaker 1: I like it too, but I think it's more for
Speaker 1: like someone who's seventy five years old. Just like everyone
Speaker 1: calls it dot dot dot, call it whatever you want.
Speaker 1: I have to use it correctly. I have heard some
Speaker 1: young people of which I would consider Erica. You know,
Speaker 1: a member of this young crew that are confused because
Speaker 1: old like us often use ellipses while texting just kind
Speaker 1: ran you know, just randomly. You just have the in
Speaker 1: the and it confuses the younger generation who is not
Speaker 1: as big into the ellipses, and they expect something to
Speaker 1: actually come after it, whereas we use it where it's
Speaker 1: just like kind of trailing off food for thought. If
Speaker 1: you know what that means, we're in trouble. Like if
Speaker 1: Greg was like, hey, I need to talk to you
Speaker 1: dot dot dot, then I'd be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: what what? But if it's just him like, hey, I
Speaker 1: got to talk to you at some point communicates something
Speaker 1: different to you exactly saying grammatical rules from twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: That's gonna go well for you. Really deep dive into
Speaker 1: that one long form material. All right, So you haven't
Speaker 1: heard from us and we haven't connected with you since
Speaker 1: our Sunday night flagship show at Sky sports Manor, so
Speaker 1: let's do some news and catch up. Let's go loose cannon.
Speaker 1: So we're going on the side Jack the rippertre in
Speaker 1: a section of London. Um, we're strangers to London, so
Speaker 1: unsure where, but we're getting into cab right now to
Speaker 1: go and Dan is playing some ava. But I'll say
Speaker 1: this via interest in Jack the Ripper is is uh
Speaker 1: goes back away? I wrote a paper when you're young,
Speaker 1: like the first real I'm Jack the River. How did
Speaker 1: that not make to cut the two minute long video
Speaker 1: that I think twelve people watched. A lot of fun
Speaker 1: happened in those calves. Shout out to London cabs that
Speaker 1: have four seats to fold out so you basically you
Speaker 1: sit looking at each other. It's a communal experience. Maybe
Speaker 1: next year when we go to London we could do
Speaker 1: like a cab podcast. Do we not miss doing that?
Speaker 1: Like I like get in your own car, like today
Speaker 1: the uber here alone. It's like I kind of missed,
Speaker 1: like we all drive our own cars. I'm driven around town.
Speaker 1: I not not a shout out to the last London
Speaker 1: cab that West and I took because because I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was the cab driver's fault, but someone
Speaker 1: basically stole my credit card information immediately after using that
Speaker 1: cab and spent a lot of money at the airport. WHOA,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I noticed when I got back. I guess
Speaker 1: I should check my statements. Then. Uh, let's start with
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Low Bills, who are dealing with a little
Speaker 1: bit of an issue as the season just beginning. They
Speaker 1: get embarrassed on the road in Week one to three
Speaker 1: to the Ravens as bad as against Nathan Peterman. He dropped.
Speaker 1: We need to come up with a name which called
Speaker 1: the Peterman a zero point zero passer rating in the game. Uh,
Speaker 1: And the Bills traded away A J. McCarron, the only
Speaker 1: other in house option that protected them from the kid.
Speaker 1: So the head coach, Sean McDermott has no choice. Essentially,
Speaker 1: he turns to Josh Allen to be the starter and
Speaker 1: the week two home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 1: West will start with you on this. McDermott told reporters,
Speaker 1: it's the right move for our team. Uh. And is
Speaker 1: it the right move for the Bills? I think it's
Speaker 1: a fair question. I mean, what's the plan here? I
Speaker 1: think when you look at that Week one game, you
Speaker 1: see that Peterman is a backup quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You see the offensive line isn't prepared to block anyone
Speaker 1: for any quarterback. The wide receivers aren't good. Whereas Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz entered the situation with Doug Peterson, Frank Reich and
Speaker 1: John d Filippo, Josh Allen has Brian Dable, who's floated
Speaker 1: around college in pro football, was bypassed for promotions in
Speaker 1: New England, and David Culley is his quarterback coach, a
Speaker 1: guy who's been a wide receivers coach his whole career.
Speaker 1: I think the question isn't is just the right move
Speaker 1: for now? It's win? Can the Bill's offense be good again?
Speaker 1: Two thousand nineteen, two thousand twenty, I don't know, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I live in Western New York, just
Speaker 1: put me into carbon freeze and wake me up next
Speaker 1: September because I think this is gonna be a long
Speaker 1: rough road. Last year it's kind of I mean, you
Speaker 1: could enjoy your family or look for other you know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying if your life, if your life swirled
Speaker 1: entirely around the Bills, Judgmental Gregg, that's what I would do.
Speaker 1: I would I would get in carbon freeze and ignore
Speaker 1: the entire season. It's so crazy that a year ago,
Speaker 1: jud Sean McDermott, Well, when it's always like, well, if
Speaker 1: you like your family, maybe I wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, like, get other interests
Speaker 1: other than the Bills. I would get one. I would
Speaker 1: get one really quick. I mean this coaching situation, which
Speaker 1: a year ago he looked like a Coach of the
Speaker 1: Year type candidate for what he did, is now. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're in chaos again. You know, in an ownership group
Speaker 1: that's releases coaches every two seasons? Did we I do
Speaker 1: actually want to give Sean McDermott and the Bills like
Speaker 1: a little bit of breathing room here. If they had
Speaker 1: a defining trait last year, it was that they responded
Speaker 1: very well to some of their lowest moments that he
Speaker 1: did do a good coaching job coaching up the defense.
Speaker 1: They looked competent at points in the preseason. I don't
Speaker 1: expect them to be good at all. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: it's one game where they looked incredibly unprofessional against a
Speaker 1: really good defense, and I want to like, even worse
Speaker 1: than it was. It's so much worse than it was,
Speaker 1: and and there's not a lot of hope, but they
Speaker 1: showed enough. I think as a coaching staff, uh, to
Speaker 1: just see how this plays out for five or six weeks.
Speaker 1: I do think, why wouldn't you play? Do you worry
Speaker 1: about ruining this rookie quarterback? No, I never have bought
Speaker 1: into the David carr Uh, Tim Idea, Tim Couch. He
Speaker 1: got hurt, Tim Couch. But that a quarterback that's meant
Speaker 1: to make it is going to be ruined psychologically by
Speaker 1: being in a bad situation. I think in any work place,
Speaker 1: in physically field, physically could be an issue. Absolutely. I mean,
Speaker 1: if I can totally disagree, I buy into that. If
Speaker 1: you're behind, if you're on a bad team, if you're
Speaker 1: a bad offensive life, you have a raw talent. Everyone
Speaker 1: said this kid, it can be very good, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna need time. And what they did, what they did
Speaker 1: to themselves here is that they gave themselves no option
Speaker 1: because they trusted Nathan Peterman. You brought you brought up
Speaker 1: the low point, Greg. The low point was last year.
Speaker 1: It was Nathan Peterman when they talked themselves and him
Speaker 1: starting over to Rod Taylor, and he threw five interceptions
Speaker 1: and a half, so they didn't learn that maybe Peterman
Speaker 1: is not the guy, and then they traded away the
Speaker 1: only other option. That is what's on my telling them.
Speaker 1: If they were starting Peterman, things I would I'm saying
Speaker 1: mccaren should be starting because he should still be on
Speaker 1: the team. Things can conspire to make a person who
Speaker 1: is very tough minded not so so off minded going forward.
Speaker 1: You are correct, You're right, we would be killing them
Speaker 1: if they started Peterman. But both situations are bad. This
Speaker 1: is one of the worst quarterbacks auditions this podcast. I
Speaker 1: just think of people like Alex Smith, who could not
Speaker 1: have been more embarrassed and more overwhelmed as a rookie,
Speaker 1: or Eli Manning or Jim Plunkett and all those guys,
Speaker 1: if they're made to be quality NFL starters, I think
Speaker 1: they So it's like, do you have the stuff or not?
Speaker 1: Like the stuff can be beaten out of you. The
Speaker 1: stuff can absolutely be beaten out of you. Let's move on.
Speaker 1: Nick Foles will start in week two for the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh.
Speaker 1: We spent the whole summer wondering off Carson Wentz, who's
Speaker 1: coming back from reconstructing the surgery, would be ready for
Speaker 1: week one. Turned out he's not gonna be ready for
Speaker 1: week two ever, either. So Nick Foles, who was really
Speaker 1: not good against the Falcons, the Eagles are extremely fortunate
Speaker 1: to get a win at home. Uh in the Thursday
Speaker 1: night opener. How bad was falls the average three point
Speaker 1: four yards per attempt and just a hundred and seventeen
Speaker 1: yards with an interception, no touchdown, But they won eighteen
Speaker 1: to twelve in the game. Marks. So Nick Foles continues
Speaker 1: on who they who they got this week? The Bucks? Uh,
Speaker 1: he continues on, and they probably would really like to
Speaker 1: see Nick Foles start looking like end of the season.
Speaker 1: Nick Foles A sap. I mean, it's a Bucks play
Speaker 1: like they did last week, even even to three fourth degree,
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to score a lot of points in
Speaker 1: this game. This just feels like almost not even a
Speaker 1: news update. There was no reason to think that Wentz
Speaker 1: was gonna play this week, and even if Fulls stunk
Speaker 1: ump the joint and they lost to the Falcons, you
Speaker 1: cannot rush Carson Wentz back, and it's a dream matchup.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bucks defense was the worst in the
Speaker 1: league last year, and they looked like one of the
Speaker 1: worst in the league in Week one, and they lost
Speaker 1: Verdon Hargraves for the season, not that he's a great player,
Speaker 1: but their secondary who was already down Brent Grimes. This
Speaker 1: is a perfect opportunity for the Eagles offense to start
Speaker 1: feeling a little better about themselves because they're going up
Speaker 1: such a bad secondary who does not match up very
Speaker 1: well with the Eagles. After listening to Mike Gara Folo
Speaker 1: on this topic, it sounds like it starts from Jeff Lury,
Speaker 1: the owner on down that they believe they are a
Speaker 1: strong enough team, defense, running game whatever to keep winning
Speaker 1: regardless of how well Nick Fools Fools plays that you
Speaker 1: might not see Carson Wentz for a few more weeks,
Speaker 1: and Garret Folo even said it would not surprise him
Speaker 1: if you don't see Wentz until after the bye in
Speaker 1: week nine. Now, he's not saying that's what will happen.
Speaker 1: He's just saying I wouldn't be surprised because from the
Speaker 1: owner on down, they believe the next decade is more
Speaker 1: important than this year. This is the anti RG three,
Speaker 1: rushing him back into the field as they should and
Speaker 1: in every win that they can steal with Falls and
Speaker 1: their defense, and their defense is plenty capable of winning
Speaker 1: games on their own. Like is another week or two,
Speaker 1: they can wait what happens with if if they're two
Speaker 1: and four. I'm curious sideways here because they were very
Speaker 1: lucky to win that game and if Falls is not better,
Speaker 1: they're gonna start losing. That was a that was a
Speaker 1: playoff contender they were playing. I will say this, they
Speaker 1: have a stretch before the bye. If that ever came
Speaker 1: to fruition the Vikings, Giants, Panthers and Jaguars pants or
Speaker 1: his defense looked super Bowl level. We know about the
Speaker 1: Vikings and Jaguars. Moving on Aaron Rodgers, will he be
Speaker 1: available for Week two against the Minnesota Vikings. Packers head
Speaker 1: coach Mike McCarthy told reporters uh today that or yesterday
Speaker 1: that Rogers will work with other players rehabilitating injuries, while
Speaker 1: emphasizing that Rogers did not suffer a setback to his
Speaker 1: injured knee. Uh, he's considered day to day, so they're
Speaker 1: gonna probably take this one. You would think, what even
Speaker 1: if they know ahead of time, they're gonna play this
Speaker 1: thing out to keep the vikings on their toes and
Speaker 1: expect him to play either way. But Uh, the knee injury,
Speaker 1: of course suffered early in the UH Sunday night game
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. Greg, what were your thoughts Since we're here,
Speaker 1: we got back to the hotel after our Sky Sports
Speaker 1: event in our recording our podcast around three or three
Speaker 1: thirty in the morning in London, enough time to watch
Speaker 1: the last two quarters of that game, and it was
Speaker 1: one of the more memorable Sunday night games ever. Nick
Speaker 1: Shook and Jeremy Bergman did a great job recapping it
Speaker 1: for show. What were our thoughts about what Rogers and
Speaker 1: company pulled off of that game? I just felt lucky
Speaker 1: because that's one of those moments I'll remember forever where
Speaker 1: I was, where I watched that because of the unique
Speaker 1: circumstances were getting back after really memorable day for us,
Speaker 1: and then see Aaron Rodgers have one of the most
Speaker 1: memorable moments of his career at four thirty in the
Speaker 1: morning in a London hotel room. It's just like I
Speaker 1: love Aaron Rodgers. One of the reasons why I love
Speaker 1: football so much that that was my I totally agree.
Speaker 1: And I think that if you were smart, you were
Speaker 1: also packing well. I was not. I made a mistake
Speaker 1: and I packed earlier in the morning. You know what
Speaker 1: daddy was doing. Daddy was having an apple juice I got.
Speaker 1: I got the great room service, great hotel. Once the
Speaker 1: game was heating up, I got some wings and just
Speaker 1: sat there on the bed at three thirty in the morning,
Speaker 1: and I didn't even realize they served food. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure about I feel about calling yourself daddy, like when
Speaker 1: you're a continent in a way, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean a little, it's no wrong time to call
Speaker 1: yourself daddy. And but I same reason Greg said, I
Speaker 1: will always remember sitting in that hotel room, eating badass wings,
Speaker 1: watching Aaron Rodgers do Aaron Rodgers things. There are some
Speaker 1: hot hot takes men about this week, wanting Randall Cobb
Speaker 1: to get more credit than Aaron Rodgers on that play.
Speaker 1: That Cobb made. Aaron Rodgers is dragging his leg around,
Speaker 1: compensating for it, making subtle moves into pocket to make
Speaker 1: sure he doesn't step on that leg or put weight
Speaker 1: on that leg, and still makes the play, which tells
Speaker 1: me that this is an injury that's gonna affect him.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine I'm missing this game talked after the
Speaker 1: last year. What Mike Zimmer said, he walks on water.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure we'll be out there this week, m
Speaker 1: Well said, Well said. Moving on Martavis Bryant is a
Speaker 1: little weird. Uh. He was traded to the Raiders from
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and then word of more off the field issues. Uh,
Speaker 1: failure to comply with the drug plan agreement in the
Speaker 1: NFL led to the Raiders to release him, or so
Speaker 1: we all thought. The Raiders said, no, it was not.
Speaker 1: It didn't have anything to do with the looming suspension,
Speaker 1: which will be probably another year of his career. But
Speaker 1: now he's back with the Raiders. They're closing in on
Speaker 1: a one year deal. Uh. Tom Pellicero reported yesterday Brian
Speaker 1: also expected to play this week in Denver against the Broncos. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody's gotta help me. Out because this is
Speaker 1: a very strange story. My head's on a swivel. When
Speaker 1: I saw this email come through our work email with
Speaker 1: Tom Pellicero's tweet on the subject, I assumed there was
Speaker 1: a mistake and it had to have been a tweet
Speaker 1: from like March. I was like, what what do you mean?
Speaker 1: He's signed with the Raiders. So I think we can
Speaker 1: surmise his suspension is being held up by legal or
Speaker 1: just the normal you know, appeals process. That the Raiders
Speaker 1: cut him because they didn't want to have to pay
Speaker 1: his entire year salary, that they probably have some information
Speaker 1: that this appeal those process might take a minute, and
Speaker 1: they're happy to just pay him week by week right now,
Speaker 1: that his contracts not guaranteed, that would be my guest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we can surmise that they absolutely use a little
Speaker 1: speed at the wide receiver position. There was nothing going
Speaker 1: on in that first game against the Rams and Marii Cooper,
Speaker 1: who Gruden chimed about all offseason, We're going to run
Speaker 1: the offense through him. Well, that did not look I
Speaker 1: don't think they tried. Did Derek cart try a vertical pass?
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of like screens that got blown
Speaker 1: up right away by the Rams. Don't know if even
Speaker 1: through one so Bryant does add something to that offense
Speaker 1: that they need. Corey Coleman is back on a roster
Speaker 1: and it's the Patriots. The Patriots need help at the position.
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman suspended through week four. The group Philip Dorset,
Speaker 1: Chris Hogan, Cordurell Patterson. Coleman joins that group. He of
Speaker 1: course was a bust with the Browns, who traded him
Speaker 1: to the Bills, who cut him before the start of
Speaker 1: the season, and now Coleman gets a chance to play
Speaker 1: with the Pets. I do not anticipate this becoming anything,
Speaker 1: but I'll say this about the Patriots. It's pretty much
Speaker 1: an indictment. When they signed Corey Coleman, Kenny Britt, trade
Speaker 1: for Danny Shelton, pick up Chris Hogan and Mike Gilliesley.
Speaker 1: They look at the Browns and Bills and say, these
Speaker 1: two teams do not know how to develop players. We
Speaker 1: will take a chance on them. Although not many so
Speaker 1: far out of that entire group who's helped the Patriots
Speaker 1: other than Hogan, I would just say that they see
Speaker 1: that Corey Coleman, there's one place that they can. He's
Speaker 1: worth the shock. Every they're gonna be like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna let him go if they can't
Speaker 1: get it done. But he's worth a shot. But every
Speaker 1: time the Patriots have one of these signings, there's always
Speaker 1: those tweets that like fast forward to Corey Coleman having
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty yards in the a f C Championship.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, most of them don't end up making it.
Speaker 1: He will, he will, but listeners for years, an ongoing
Speaker 1: subplot with Josh Gordon was marks eternal worry that he
Speaker 1: would end up in Pittsburgh or New England and tear
Speaker 1: up the league. Uh. That seemed to be offset a
Speaker 1: little bit by the Kenny Britt experience, but I would
Speaker 1: I'll put in a what's more likely, wow from favorite
Speaker 1: game shoe more gold standard version there. What's more likely
Speaker 1: Lori Coleman cut before the end of the month or
Speaker 1: making plays with the Patriots in January. I'll go with
Speaker 1: cut before the end of the I don't think the
Speaker 1: guy likes football that much. I don't A lot of
Speaker 1: people go to New England and decide, oh, I can't
Speaker 1: hack it here. Look at Eric Decker, who I thought
Speaker 1: was an impact, and that guy was kind of a gamer.
Speaker 1: I think Coleman will wash out within weeks. That's I'll
Speaker 1: go cut because weren't there issues with him learning Buffalo's
Speaker 1: playbook on a wide receiver free offense essentially. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know how he gets this thing done. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go January plays just because I'm rooting for that
Speaker 1: to happen, So why not. Even I can feel it.
Speaker 1: Even veterans like Joey Galloway and Chad Johnson had trouble
Speaker 1: gaining Tom Brady's trust, and they ostensibly knew what they
Speaker 1: were doing. Pats need a little juice, so it would
Speaker 1: be nice. I'm gonna go with Greg just to be
Speaker 1: an agent of chaos because I kind of want to
Speaker 1: see Corey Coleman doing good things in the NFL at
Speaker 1: some point. Bad news for the Atlanta Falcons, who will
Speaker 1: be without their leading tackler of a year ago for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. The team announced Tuesday that
Speaker 1: Dion Jones, their stud linebacker, placed on i R with
Speaker 1: a foot injury. Uh Jones reported soreness in the foot
Speaker 1: after the game. They got the test back and it
Speaker 1: turns out he needs a procedure on the foot that's
Speaker 1: serious enough to end his season. Bad news for the Falcons,
Speaker 1: whose defense takes a hit. This is the top ten
Speaker 1: defense last year and it comes at a couple of
Speaker 1: days after UH safety Can O'Neill uh towards a c
Speaker 1: L and he was done for the year. So the
Speaker 1: Falcons West take a couple of pops here. Not good.
Speaker 1: In the second half of each of the last two seasons,
Speaker 1: we've been complimenting the Falcons young, speedy defense UH and
Speaker 1: these two players are the beating heart of that defense.
Speaker 1: That scheme relies on their clothes speed to stop running
Speaker 1: backs coming out of the backfield, to stop screen passes,
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, to stop tight ends coming over the middle.
Speaker 1: They are set up to rely on that speed. So
Speaker 1: to me, the defense takes a step back to three
Speaker 1: years ago. Remember that Thomas to Mitch rof is a
Speaker 1: Belichick guy, and Belichick's first ever draft as a head
Speaker 1: coach in Cleveland was Eric Turner, and he talked about
Speaker 1: the analysts that talked to me, said I want to
Speaker 1: build my defense up the middle, and now you've lost
Speaker 1: in the Atlanta Falcons. Your safety and your middle linebacker,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna change everything that the Falcons cannot do.
Speaker 1: You want to you the depth to worth noting Deon
Speaker 1: Jones is expected to come back this season, so Dan
Speaker 1: Quinn meant I would be like November Dan question. Dan mentioned,
Speaker 1: they're pretty hopeful Keiana Neels out for the year. Dion
Speaker 1: Jones they hope maybe to have back for the stretcher,
Speaker 1: and they do have some players, you know, they do
Speaker 1: have good depth. Duke Riley is a pretty high draft
Speaker 1: pick who's gonna end up playing at safety. Damante Kaz
Speaker 1: who's gonna play. He was like one of my favorite
Speaker 1: players to see in the entire preseason. And Cayman in
Speaker 1: Week one and made a huge impact playing in place
Speaker 1: of Neil. So they do have some young players, but
Speaker 1: it's it's a bummer because Jones especially is is kind
Speaker 1: of a key to that defense. And other injury news
Speaker 1: in the NFC South, Greg Olsen, as we UH suspected
Speaker 1: and Panthers and their fans feared, did indeed refracture that
Speaker 1: right foot. This is becoming a chronic situation or is
Speaker 1: a chronic situation now for the star tight end UH
Speaker 1: at this point they're hoping to avoid surgery evaluated on
Speaker 1: a month to month basis, according to Mike Garret Folo,
Speaker 1: who first reported the severity of the injury, but surgery,
Speaker 1: according to rap She's still on the table if it
Speaker 1: doesn't go the direction they want. This looks like a
Speaker 1: situation where the Panthers will be lucky to get uh
Speaker 1: their tight end back by the end of the season.
Speaker 1: And um, finally, well not finally, but also in the
Speaker 1: news for the Carolina Panthers, the team is mulling options
Speaker 1: in the face of Hurricane in Florence. Oh, a Hurricane Florence.
Speaker 1: This one is a big one. It's barely toward the
Speaker 1: Atlantic coast. Uh. Tiffany Blackman reported Tuesday with the team
Speaker 1: is exploring three options, possibly staying put, finding a nearby
Speaker 1: university with an indoor facility, or heading to Atlanta early
Speaker 1: ahead of Sunday's tilt with the Falcons. Uh. So they
Speaker 1: are not home and that is helpful obviously. But Mark,
Speaker 1: you must be pinching yourself right now because this storm
Speaker 1: is coming down. Well it just I know, I put
Speaker 1: a sandwich up that you know, Mother Nature would shift
Speaker 1: one of these games during the congratulations This one will,
Speaker 1: I know, but I get in tweets about this like, oh,
Speaker 1: you must be like sucks, like I'm not actually rooting
Speaker 1: for houses to be flattened in people. When I hear
Speaker 1: you in the I have never I have never mentioned
Speaker 1: I mean you when you put this out there into
Speaker 1: the atmosphere, on some level, this is what you have
Speaker 1: to be rooting. So if I have that kind of power,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be putting a lot of things into the
Speaker 1: atmosphere real soon. All of my friends at Huckapoo and
Speaker 1: tybe or in my thoughts because you know, when I
Speaker 1: lived there for eight years, we never evacuated for a
Speaker 1: hurricane once, and it seems like it's an angual activity now.
Speaker 1: One of our listeners was there over the weekend and
Speaker 1: said he's getting out of there because of the herd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good luck to everyone out there. Hopefully this was not
Speaker 1: a storm that hits too hard. And Mark, we'll see
Speaker 1: if you're fortunate enough to get some sandwiches out of this.
Speaker 1: In this case, you cannot because they're already playing in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Atlanta would have to move the game. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: let's let's from a technicality angle, the storm would need
Speaker 1: to fear towards Atlanta and and creates. There is not
Speaker 1: rooting for that. An abnormal amount of activity in the
Speaker 1: Caribbean right now, So this might not be the only
Speaker 1: week we have to worry about. Here you go, I don't.
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. Uh. One more quick nuggets. One
Speaker 1: celebrates hurricane season quite like Mark. Yeah, the Quiet Storm.
Speaker 1: That's there's a reason behind that nickname. Uh. Two more things.
Speaker 1: One the helmet rule penalty, which a lot of handwringing,
Speaker 1: both on this podcast and across the football world. Just
Speaker 1: one call in the sixteen games that comprised Week one.
Speaker 1: So that was when Cincinnati Bengal's safety Shawn Williams was ejected.
Speaker 1: So it was a big one. It took him out
Speaker 1: of the game. Uh. And it was not a bad
Speaker 1: call at all, I didn't think but you did not
Speaker 1: see the call in any of the other fifteen games.
Speaker 1: So so far, this is not something that's going to
Speaker 1: ruin football as we know, which was something that a
Speaker 1: lot of people thought was including myself, a lot of
Speaker 1: concern early August. That's early August football. I mean, Greg
Speaker 1: and I don't always get along, but like credit to Greg,
Speaker 1: he basically said this three weeks ago. And we get
Speaker 1: along fine. I think if we do, I'm just saying
Speaker 1: we don't always get along. I don't always relationships fine,
Speaker 1: it's fine, dare I credit the NFL a little bit
Speaker 1: for this. It was nice to watch players not trying
Speaker 1: to injure each other. Oh you think it, actually, I think.
Speaker 1: I think they've already started to adjust well. I think
Speaker 1: the helmet over the last few years, it's been an
Speaker 1: accumulation and you definitely see safeties, in particular pulling off
Speaker 1: a little bit on those throws over the middle. I
Speaker 1: think the more objectionable rule even back in August and
Speaker 1: it remains the same today. And confusing is the putting
Speaker 1: your full body weight onto the a couple of times.
Speaker 1: And I think that's a confusing one that they're gonna
Speaker 1: They're just gonna have some growing pains they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to figure out. But that's the one that's a little
Speaker 1: more on my rating. There's a lot of gray area there.
Speaker 1: It seems to be more gray area than the helmet rule.
Speaker 1: And I saw J. J. Watt did a great job
Speaker 1: of letting up and not putting his body weight onto
Speaker 1: tybee or onto Tom Brady. He sort of rolled off
Speaker 1: to the side. I mean they both end with I
Speaker 1: mean we'll start with T and end with it is
Speaker 1: already at capoos in the mind right now, what is
Speaker 1: probably the only man big enough to body slams type
Speaker 1: he could body slam and he didn't. That was great.
Speaker 1: That just in my day. I just like they both
Speaker 1: start with tea and end with an ex. I conflated them.
Speaker 1: Uh in West, because you're such a lovable guy, You're
Speaker 1: gonna take the stage now for the final piece of
Speaker 1: News Today Week one, they handed out their Player of
Speaker 1: the Week awards and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: took the a f C honor. UH. He was a
Speaker 1: stud in the thirty walloping of the Chargers to fifty
Speaker 1: six yards, four touchdowns, twenty one yards on the ground,
Speaker 1: four carries over the defensive. UH. Player of the Week
Speaker 1: uh T J. Watt won that for the Steelers. He
Speaker 1: just killed. And then in the NFC UH fits magic
Speaker 1: alive and well. UH he had an almost a perfect
Speaker 1: passerading one of the games of the last ten years
Speaker 1: at that position. He was unbelievable UH in wiping out
Speaker 1: the Saints, and then Harrison Smith got the Defensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Week. Greg the Leg got Special Teams Player
Speaker 1: of the Week. The reason we're even telling you this
Speaker 1: because West has something to say, Well, this is sort
Speaker 1: of a I don't know, it's been a it's been
Speaker 1: an issue with me, like post cancer, my personality has changed.
Speaker 1: I believe I've been more deferential on this podcast, like
Speaker 1: the rants have been fewer and far between. Things don't
Speaker 1: rile me up as much. I think I'm a little
Speaker 1: more um interesting, equanimita, whatever that word is, um get post.
Speaker 1: But but there's a rant coming on here because this
Speaker 1: is absurd. Why first of all, why why is everyone
Speaker 1: protecting these selectors for Player of the Week. There's no
Speaker 1: answers on Google, there's no answers on Twitter, There's no
Speaker 1: answers in this building everybody. There's no answers park. Why
Speaker 1: are you protecting these are the shadowy ist of shadowy
Speaker 1: league figures. Nobody knows who's making these picks. And you
Speaker 1: do not know anything about football or did not watch
Speaker 1: this game. If you chose Patrick Mahomes over Tyreek Hill,
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, climbing the ladder to get throzen traffic sliding
Speaker 1: to corral low throws, taking short passes to the house
Speaker 1: through the heart of the defense. He looked like Steve
Speaker 1: Smith in two thousand five. He had no answer for him.
Speaker 1: He was the story of the game. Patrick Mahomes promising. Sure,
Speaker 1: and maybe Tyreek Hill is a better suited guy for
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes skill set than Alex Smith. He's probably gonna
Speaker 1: have a bigger year because of the quarterback change. But
Speaker 1: that was absurd to not have Tyreek Hill as Player
Speaker 1: of the week. He was the best player in football
Speaker 1: this week. Now, you did little legwork trying to figure
Speaker 1: out because we all got to page nine of the
Speaker 1: Google search and there's no explanation. Emphasis on little, but yeah,
Speaker 1: a little work. You you emails right with fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: ago before the start of the show tweet I tweeted
Speaker 1: at the NFLPR guy and got no answer. Well, why
Speaker 1: don't you send an email? Send a play email? Eeen,
Speaker 1: I'm not really about emails. See it's about me a
Speaker 1: dog at journal. Send it an email there, Yeah, in sure,
Speaker 1: I'll send out. That's how you go. If you want
Speaker 1: the information, that's how they're gonna give it to. Hey,
Speaker 1: I've never claimed or wanted to be a dogged journal.
Speaker 1: But you said you don't want you want to find
Speaker 1: out the answers. I do want to find out. Give
Speaker 1: him to me aout the was I mean, if what
Speaker 1: you're trying to say is that the Player of the
Speaker 1: Week selector is not combing through game pass to look
Speaker 1: for the subtleties of who was really worth or who
Speaker 1: really have one job? Find out who's the player of
Speaker 1: the week. It's your job, it right, do your homework, Greg,
Speaker 1: That's why are you letting people up the hook for
Speaker 1: not to win their job. It is attached to contracts
Speaker 1: and it's other stuff too. I mean, if you're just
Speaker 1: I'm not going to anything, I'm just gonna guess it
Speaker 1: who's the Player of the WEEKND. Why is that okay
Speaker 1: with you? Here's why it is because I've never put
Speaker 1: any stock into this silly award. And then number two,
Speaker 1: I just assume that it's whoever's job it is to
Speaker 1: do this. It's not their job. It's like the thirty
Speaker 1: five most important part of their job. Unfortunately, it's like
Speaker 1: the only part of a twelve bit don't operation. It
Speaker 1: isn't vedded. You're not even gonna have to be good
Speaker 1: at it. Translation is like picking the Greg for like
Speaker 1: seven straight podcast. Uh. Many of his responses boiled out
Speaker 1: to who cares? Yeah, well when it comes down to
Speaker 1: player of the week, You're right, Reg is all about
Speaker 1: FedEx ground and air. But wait what, I do find
Speaker 1: it odd that someone wouldn't who is not a football
Speaker 1: person would be picking this that there. It has to
Speaker 1: be someone in I'm curious to know. I probably is
Speaker 1: a pr P, like the guy who fills up the
Speaker 1: water tanks every week. That I would guess. I totally
Speaker 1: agree with you that Tyreek Hill was the best player
Speaker 1: in football. And I do think maybe part of this
Speaker 1: Twitter show should be a segment Chris well Wesleyan has
Speaker 1: something to say. How about that? I love it? I
Speaker 1: love that's it. By the way, if you want to
Speaker 1: check out Tyweek hills gangbusters performance against the Chargers, you
Speaker 1: could replay an entire NFL game in forty five minutes
Speaker 1: with condensed games from NFL Game Pass. It's every play
Speaker 1: back to back to back. Didn't you the kissing cousins.
Speaker 1: You guys were on a quest to knock this down
Speaker 1: to the third hold on, So forty five minutes, I
Speaker 1: would say, and more inviting quick experience would be trimming
Speaker 1: the fat down to two minutes, which is possible that
Speaker 1: you guys, and this was kind of unusual for the cousins.
Speaker 1: You guys went underground, You sent some emails, you met
Speaker 1: with some people trying to affect change. Where are you
Speaker 1: at right now because now the so that was two
Speaker 1: that was I believe two seasons ago or last season.
Speaker 1: But Matt harm and other guys were all over just
Speaker 1: being gotta watch all these games. It's like, you know,
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones episodes, trying to get through some of
Speaker 1: this stuff. It is watch some, but it's like a
Speaker 1: lot of white men with curly hair. It's like keeping
Speaker 1: pests out of your garden. You can keep them out
Speaker 1: one year with all these tricks, and the next year
Speaker 1: they're back again. You gotta go through the whole rigging
Speaker 1: and rule again. That's the thing, because they around week eight,
Speaker 1: they listened and suddenly all the games had trimmed every
Speaker 1: bit of nonsense off, and now it's time for you
Speaker 1: guys to continue your well we're back email and pr
Speaker 1: people maybe tweet about it. That's what's happening in the news.
Speaker 1: Have you ever looked at your credit card statement and
Speaker 1: been shocked by the interest rate. Good ramp by the
Speaker 1: way West. Oh thanks, it's been a I thought maybe
Speaker 1: I lost my turned back the clock show your face
Speaker 1: whoever is doing this, especially when you you turned your
Speaker 1: ire toward Greg, which I didn't see coming, but I
Speaker 1: quite well. Greg's like, oh whatever, you know. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying this is the first time the player of the
Speaker 1: week where it's come up in six years of the podcast,
Speaker 1: so it's not really moving the needle. The lady who
Speaker 1: answers the phones also picks the player of the week,
Speaker 1: and that's fine with Greg. Did you know you could
Speaker 1: actually roll all of your credit card debt into one
Speaker 1: mark pay attention to this. You have a lot of
Speaker 1: financial issues into one monthly payment at a lower fixed
Speaker 1: interest rate. I mean I do. Coming off the Londry.
Speaker 1: It's funny because it's true. Light Stream offers credit card
Speaker 1: consolidation loans from five point eight nine percent a p
Speaker 1: R with auto pay. I don't know what any of
Speaker 1: this means. That's my wife handles all of my financing.

Speaker 1: I really miss this crew doing. We're doing the calves,
Speaker 1: all hanging out, going to dinner. So I mentioned a
Speaker 1: couple of times, much to the dismay of Dan, that
Speaker 1: we would potentially be doing some reunion activities now that
Speaker 1: we're back in the States, and so I can't put
Speaker 1: just a notification of the first event. Did say, I
Speaker 1: think you might? You were maybe getting a little sick

Speaker 1: day drinks at the Purple Basement in nearby Glendale. Dan
Speaker 1: will be thoroughly sick of us by this stage. On Saturday,
Speaker 1: Scannon will guide us through a pub crawl and late
Speaker 1: night club tour of West Hollywood's nightlife scene that will
Speaker 1: give way to a rooftop breakfast at dawn. Well, you
Speaker 1: will be free to exit early before week two is action.
Speaker 1: We will be scheduling a group breakfast Sunday morning at
Speaker 1: Eggs Slut in downtown Los Angeles before catching It's so good.
Speaker 1: That's the first. That's right, that's in the downtown area. Yeah,
Speaker 1: gotta wait in line. You gotta wait in line for
Speaker 1: too long. That seems like the only real establishment you've
Speaker 1: you've mentioned, or maybe they're all real looked, Yeah, these
Speaker 1: are all real. But one note on that Sunday. I
Speaker 1: know the games out here beginning to I don't see
Speaker 1: the Purple Basement anywhere. I'm just saying, well, this is
Speaker 1: a secret. You know it's real tempose, thank you, So
Speaker 1: we'll leave it before the game started. Ten. By the way,
Speaker 1: impossible to get this read out in this room. I
Speaker 1: will be releasing next week's hang out Slash Reunions are No,
Speaker 1: that's it. We'll have new schedule for next week on Monday.
Speaker 1: We're gonna stay in touch as a group. That sounds fun.
Speaker 1: This guy sports are our friends at Sky Sports too,
Speaker 1: we seem to have a great relationship, will be disappointed
Speaker 1: that we're skipping our pregame coverage on Sunday, but it's important.
Speaker 1: This is not all of them will be Sunday morning,
Speaker 1: but they'll have to understand after watching us as a
Speaker 1: group together, that we needed to do this. I can't
Speaker 1: believe egg slet is a thing that is an awesome name.
Speaker 1: There's tons of like photo ops. It's like I went
Speaker 1: to egg slut all around this. It's very acus. I've
Speaker 1: refused it because any any food, you shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: wait half an hour for any egg, for any breakfast food.
Speaker 1: I don't care how good. That's a fair point. That's
Speaker 1: a fair point liquid chicken, and in general, I've I've
Speaker 1: reached the age I just don't I'm not waiting online
Speaker 1: to get into really anywhere unless I'm with it is
Speaker 1: a super good reason to do so. Yeah, there was
Speaker 1: some club. It was like during our trip to England,
Speaker 1: it was like, because let's follow these people. We walk
Speaker 1: across half of London and then there's a line of
Speaker 1: two people. I was like, daddy, next hotel, back to
Speaker 1: the hotel and I bailed on that we we attempt
Speaker 1: there were like a trio like I read it right,
Speaker 1: We waited for a little bit to just be like, oh,
Speaker 1: these guys don't like fun like they left after like
Speaker 1: a little while. I can only imagine the commentary while
Speaker 1: we were in the actually waited about thirty minutes. Were
Speaker 1: the ones that really get what it's like to be
Speaker 1: here in London. That's when a random London stranger offered
Speaker 1: me cocaine. He goes, how do you American? Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: you want cocaine like cookies? And you should know the
Speaker 1: end of that story, as West said, no, thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think my favor chronical answer, I'm absolutely not. I
Speaker 1: know one thing similarly, I think my favorite story I
Speaker 1: heard secondhand was the one where a man at the
Speaker 1: hotel just shoved cookies into Dan's pocket. You want some cookies.
Speaker 1: It was a major d that was a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit up, extra t t over the top,
Speaker 1: all right, segment, it's not too early to say that ellipses.
Speaker 1: That means something else is coming. What's coming? No, not
Speaker 1: necessarily bad week ones in the books. People you know,
Speaker 1: get too excited sometimes about week one. Surely I will
Speaker 1: when I get to my topic which involves my favorite team.
Speaker 1: But after one game, we'll say what we're confident, uh,
Speaker 1: saying that it's not too early to say that. So
Speaker 1: we're getting on board a viewpoint on a team or
Speaker 1: a player or what have you. Greg, let us go,
Speaker 1: it's not too early to say that the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: are watchable, fun, dramatically different team. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a playoff team or I really have
Speaker 1: no idea how good they're gonna be or how case
Speaker 1: good case cheme is gonna be over the course of season.
Speaker 1: But just turning on their game pass in the Seahawks
Speaker 1: game this weekend, I just couldn't believe that here's a
Speaker 1: team with some past protection. Here's a team with a
Speaker 1: dynamic to three headed running game. Here's a team, uh
Speaker 1: that's flinging the ball down the field for good and
Speaker 1: bad case keadoms just letting it fight. There are there
Speaker 1: are receivers open. This was just a team that looked
Speaker 1: so different week after week. When I watched them a
Speaker 1: year ago, they were barely a professional offensive operation. That's
Speaker 1: seeing this on Sunday was a breath of fresh air.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun young players. Keenum like, maybe
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be the guy long term, but he's
Speaker 1: certainly gonna make it a lot more fun to watch
Speaker 1: and follow the Broncos this season. Whether you're a Broncos
Speaker 1: fan or not, I don't think it's too early to
Speaker 1: say that. I know that I'm head over heels for
Speaker 1: this team. As soon as I nominated the Ravens for
Speaker 1: Team of at L, I was kicking myself for not
Speaker 1: nominating the Broncos because I love everything about this team.
Speaker 1: What a difference a year makes. You're absolutely right. Philip
Speaker 1: Lindsay is legit. He's like a better version of Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler or something like. This guy is gonna be part
Speaker 1: of this offense all year long. Royce Freeman is good
Speaker 1: to both both those Vedan wide receivers are better this year.
Speaker 1: They're moving. Emmanuel Sanders is thirty years old going backflips
Speaker 1: into the end zone. This team is there's tight ends
Speaker 1: involved with the passing game. There's just a lot of
Speaker 1: things that literally you never saw last year. It didn't
Speaker 1: happen to Mary's. Thomas shed Wait completely changed his diet
Speaker 1: and looks younger than ever. We killed Elway for his
Speaker 1: drafts rightly so in some past seasons, he's nailed this
Speaker 1: draft from what we can see, and we ticketed this
Speaker 1: division to the Chargers based on the Los Angeles talent level.
Speaker 1: But even in Week one you find out that some
Speaker 1: of the ghosts that haunt the Charges organization are still
Speaker 1: imbued inside that franchise. And I don't see any reason
Speaker 1: in this weird a f C West where the Raiders
Speaker 1: look like they could stink potentially, and the Chiefs will see,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to say Denver could not win this
Speaker 1: division depending on how this post. Yeah, West is more
Speaker 1: in on them being good, I think, and I'm and
Speaker 1: that's certainly possible. I just I'm just more in on, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fun team to watch, and
Speaker 1: they're just when last year's was impossible to write, That's
Speaker 1: what I mean. And they'll be competitive, They're they're fun
Speaker 1: in the way in the spirit of the original team
Speaker 1: of a t O Uh. It's I'm not if he's
Speaker 1: gonna be throwing thirty passes a game. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: win a lot of games in my opinion, but I
Speaker 1: could be obviously wrong. I also want to see I
Speaker 1: guess I need to see a little bit more. They
Speaker 1: definitely were fun. They look good against the Seahawks. I
Speaker 1: don't know if the Seahawks are any good. Can they
Speaker 1: beat up on a home team on a crappy road team?
Speaker 1: Is that a big deal? I don't know one thing
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks in the way we appreciate them and evaluate them.
Speaker 1: I think we've learned over the years the best quarterbacks
Speaker 1: have this quality. Can he get out of trouble? Can
Speaker 1: he save the day? Can he get the girl in
Speaker 1: the end? He's a protagonist in case Keenum has that.
Speaker 1: It's just that he's also over eager by a half.
Speaker 1: He's sort of got that Ryan Fitzpatrick gunslinger thing, and
Speaker 1: he makes throws he shouldn't be making because he's not
Speaker 1: willing to take a checkdown. But those are the fun
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to watch. This does seem like if you're a
Speaker 1: Broncos fan, whether or not they are a nine or
Speaker 1: ten win team or whatever, they're gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: more fun to watch because it was pretty bleak there
Speaker 1: last year near the end of the sea Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta talk about the Jets. I was,
Speaker 1: all right, what is it? It's not too early to
Speaker 1: say that everything, everything may be different for the New
Speaker 1: York Jets now, and I believe that. I I got
Speaker 1: we got off that plane and it was ten hours,
Speaker 1: eleven hours, and I one of those guys. I suck
Speaker 1: when it comes to trying to sleep on a plane.
Speaker 1: So I'm up for eleven straight hours on that plane.
Speaker 1: I watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time, which
Speaker 1: is probably something that no one's ever done. Watched that
Speaker 1: movie for the first time twenty years after it came out,
Speaker 1: quite enjoyed it, by the way. Um and got back
Speaker 1: to l A sunny l A and got a cab,
Speaker 1: got back to my house. I had a couple of
Speaker 1: hours before the kids got home from uh preschool. Had
Speaker 1: the game d v Ard, so I was catching up.
Speaker 1: It was about two hours behind. And I'm watching this
Speaker 1: game and I'm wondering what's going to happen here? And
Speaker 1: then the first play of the game, Sam Donald rolls,
Speaker 1: who is right, It gets fulled by the safety and
Speaker 1: throws a a blimp that gets picked off and run back.
Speaker 1: And I mean every Jets fan was thinking the same
Speaker 1: exact thing. Oh my god, this is not only is
Speaker 1: this horrible start your season, this is such a fitting start.
Speaker 1: If this guy ends up being a bus that everybody
Speaker 1: will be back. We knew right away in the first past.
Speaker 1: And then what happens. He comes back Donald and finishes
Speaker 1: the game sixteen of twenty throws for almost two yards
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He shows mobility, he shows accuracy. He obviously
Speaker 1: shows himself as an unflappable twenty one year old because
Speaker 1: that plays. Ford Field was going nuts after the pick six,
Speaker 1: and ESPN, with their obtrusive cameras on the sideline, had
Speaker 1: the camera right up in Donald's face after the pick six,
Speaker 1: to the point where an offensive lineman for the Jet
Speaker 1: got gotten the guy's mug and pushed the camera away.
Speaker 1: This guy knew everyone was talking about him, and he
Speaker 1: went out there and he played great, great football for
Speaker 1: the rest of that game. The entire Jets effort was otherworldly,
Speaker 1: which and the lines looked as bad as can be.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to say the Jets are now
Speaker 1: this team to look out for this season. You need
Speaker 1: more evidence. But the one thing I do know is
Speaker 1: that Donald looks different than every other quote unquote savior,
Speaker 1: including Mark Sanchez, including Chad Pennington, and I don't really
Speaker 1: have anybody else to even throw out there, including Gino
Speaker 1: Smith Greg Uh that this guy looks like he's going
Speaker 1: to be a star, and every Jet fan is pinching
Speaker 1: themselves right now. Pocket movement, poise under pressure, the ability
Speaker 1: to move the chains, accuracy plus touch. Those are things
Speaker 1: I've noticed about Donald since August, and I thought at
Speaker 1: first he wasn't ready. I think I was really impressed
Speaker 1: with that performance. It was hard not to text you.
Speaker 1: I knew that you were on it. I don't know
Speaker 1: where you were. We were all a hot mess that night.
Speaker 1: I was struggling to stay awake, but I knew you
Speaker 1: were on tape delay, so I didn't want to spoil anything.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people I got this
Speaker 1: question that are meet ups too. It's like, will you
Speaker 1: be mad if the Jets are good? In the brown
Speaker 1: stay crappy or your quarterback for his quarterback? Well, ideally
Speaker 1: it would be better for Dan and I have both
Speaker 1: team were good, because I think it could turn total
Speaker 1: villain move here otherwise. But I will say this, I
Speaker 1: genuinely enjoyed watching the Jets performed the way they did it.
Speaker 1: And it goes beyond even Donald because Todd Bowles has
Speaker 1: made his bread and butter before coming to the Jets,
Speaker 1: crafting secondaries and defenses, but especially secondaries that can create
Speaker 1: and change games. And the Jets have that too. Right now.
Speaker 1: It is always a weird game when suddenly you scored
Speaker 1: thirty one points and it's off of turnovers and returns.
Speaker 1: But that's just that. You can't just say that didn't happen.
Speaker 1: And that's not to the Jets credit. They're creating these plays.
Speaker 1: They didn't have a return game for so long, they
Speaker 1: didn't have a secondary that picked the ball off and
Speaker 1: caused nightmare scenarios for quarterbacks. It's not just Donald, but
Speaker 1: it's so great that he is the most exciting element
Speaker 1: of this for a team that since we were born,
Speaker 1: outside of maybe Kenny O'Brien for a season or two,
Speaker 1: has had nothing under center. And Dan's dad is not
Speaker 1: seen a good quarterback in four plus five decades. It
Speaker 1: is time for this to happen. I'm excited for you,
Speaker 1: Dad's dad. Let's check in with Keith. Now, his name
Speaker 1: is Keith, His dats dad. He'll doubt about it. He's
Speaker 1: a big Jets fans. What is he going to say?
Speaker 1: Will that the game to say? What is he gop
Speaker 1: game to say, what a great victory by the New
Speaker 1: York Jets on Monday night. That was what I think
Speaker 1: Jet fans have been waiting for, particularly me, I can
Speaker 1: tell you for a long time. We've had some suffering
Speaker 1: seasons of late. But to open up on the road
Speaker 1: in hostile territory and putting up that many points, setting
Speaker 1: their own personal record from points on the road. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the play of Sam Donald was absolutely spectacular to
Speaker 1: come back from that uh interception he threw on the
Speaker 1: first pass. So go Jets, j E t s Jets,
Speaker 1: Jets Jets. Keith is all in. Jets fans are all in?
Speaker 1: Has he ever sounded like that before? This past We
Speaker 1: started the show talking about how Josh Allen has no
Speaker 1: support around him, and that's what stuck stuck out to
Speaker 1: me was that how little Donald had to do. He
Speaker 1: may had to make three or four really good plays,
Speaker 1: and he's looked the part, he's looked mature, but he
Speaker 1: got protected well. He had a running game. Uh. Dan
Speaker 1: you you tweeted about the receivers are definitely solid. The
Speaker 1: secondary uh can give this team a little bit of
Speaker 1: an identity. Some of those interceptions happened because Henry Anderson,
Speaker 1: a late pick up, which I think is gonna prove
Speaker 1: to be a savvy one, had pressure on Stafford, so
Speaker 1: he was supported really well, and that's what you want
Speaker 1: to see out of a rookie quarterback. The schedules not
Speaker 1: bad for the a f C East in general and
Speaker 1: the Jets, and so I think if if Donald can
Speaker 1: get that kind of support, then they can be a
Speaker 1: team that's that's absolutely in the mix. There's one team,
Speaker 1: there's one team in the a f C, in the
Speaker 1: wild card mix that's gonna have a chance to sneak
Speaker 1: in like the Bills did last year. Why not the Jets?
Speaker 1: Why can't they be in the mix? We all underrated
Speaker 1: their wide receivers coming into this year because his Curse
Speaker 1: and Robbie Anderson were an above average duo last year.
Speaker 1: And now they add a noon one Terrell Prior, they're
Speaker 1: they're better that This is a I am, you know,
Speaker 1: curious to see how bad is the lines defense because
Speaker 1: it was the worst defense in the league in August.
Speaker 1: We talked about this is a nice I'm out on matchup.
Speaker 1: It's that it's as bad as it can be for
Speaker 1: a team. Well, it was actually the Jets defense, and
Speaker 1: maybe special teams will see about that. But it was
Speaker 1: actually the Jets defense that really got me thinking, Okay,
Speaker 1: like if they can this is a defensive minded coach
Speaker 1: with a nice secondary. If he can cook up a
Speaker 1: really competitive defense week after week, then this team really
Speaker 1: could could be tough. I think the Jets absolutely have
Speaker 1: a chance in an a f C that we're looking
Speaker 1: at right now to grab a wild card spot. I do.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was why not, but also like it
Speaker 1: is disturbing if you're Alliance fan, because I think you
Speaker 1: thought you get Matt Patreccia, You're getting this brainiac who's
Speaker 1: going to translate change right away, and instead we get
Speaker 1: Mike Garafolo reporting the players all summer have not been
Speaker 1: buying in now. Part of it was they didn't want to.
Speaker 1: They thoughted to have to work too hard. It looks
Speaker 1: like a team that could use that columnist about a
Speaker 1: month and a half ago for his column about he
Speaker 1: was working too hard with the conditioning. But now it's
Speaker 1: one week. Though, it's one week and people are really
Speaker 1: going into the Belichick. You know, I great about these
Speaker 1: lines veterans anyway, All I mean is people were that
Speaker 1: excited in the opposite way about Josh McDaniels after five weeks.
Speaker 1: So I just like kind of want to see maybe
Speaker 1: just play out a little bit. I want to I
Speaker 1: want to see what have they accomplished in Detroit that
Speaker 1: they can't take hard coaching anyone. It's not on Patricia.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's like, maybe it's hard to
Speaker 1: change that. Patricia didn't really wasn't passing the look test.
Speaker 1: I just gotta say, did anybody even see him talk
Speaker 1: to anyone on the sideline an entire game? He just
Speaker 1: seemed like a man on an island that was in shock.
Speaker 1: That game went from seventeen seventeen to seventeen to the Jets,
Speaker 1: the Jets of all time teams, kneeling on the goal line,
Speaker 1: showing mercy in the fourth quarter to keep it from
Speaker 1: being a fifty burger. That is as bad as a
Speaker 1: first game as a coach can have. Crazy all right,
Speaker 1: West year up. When I looked at the Browns going
Speaker 1: into the season, I saw a flawed but undaunted quarterback,
Speaker 1: a pretty good backfield, and a defense. It has a
Speaker 1: couple of blue Chippers and Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward,
Speaker 1: but the coaching staff is a liability and they need
Speaker 1: a Ghostbuster. After one week, I'm gonna say it's not
Speaker 1: too early to say that you can take your clock
Speaker 1: killing offense and stick it where the sun don't shine
Speaker 1: when you come into Cleveland, when you have the game
Speaker 1: on the line. There, you have to account for Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett on every play. The opposing fan base, the opposing quarterback,
Speaker 1: the opposing play caller has to account for Miles Garrett
Speaker 1: on every play. You are not just gonna saddle up
Speaker 1: your work course back run out the clock with the
Speaker 1: game on the line. It's a new feeling for Browns fans.
Speaker 1: It's a new feeling for opponents, and they better get
Speaker 1: used to it because Denzel Ward and Myles Myles Garrett
Speaker 1: are for real. Even the uniforms look badass in the
Speaker 1: rain and filth. In this game, you can take all
Speaker 1: of that your clock kill only notions and put them
Speaker 1: on ice. Myles Garrett is a difference maker, and so
Speaker 1: is Denzel Ward. These guys are blue Chippers. This is
Speaker 1: how you eradicate ghost through talent. Bizarre game like we
Speaker 1: talked about on Sunday plus five. They finished in the
Speaker 1: turnover battle. The Browns and yet they needed fourteen points
Speaker 1: in the second half to wipe out a big deficit,
Speaker 1: and then they should have lost an overtime in the
Speaker 1: field goal, and then they should have won an overtime
Speaker 1: on a field goal. It seemed like that team was
Speaker 1: a little to me, Mark, tell me if you agree,
Speaker 1: a little scared of its shadow after that interception and
Speaker 1: a game that should have stolen yet, but that that
Speaker 1: should not take away that how close this team might
Speaker 1: actually be to forget about, like, oh, are they ever
Speaker 1: gonna win again? But we could just talk about the Jets,
Speaker 1: be that that team that can. There's gonna be a
Speaker 1: team that's in the mix and December that's gonna surprise everybody.
Speaker 1: The Browns could be that team. To the Browns and
Speaker 1: Steelers are old foes of obviously dating back to the
Speaker 1: very beginning of everything, and they remind me in it's
Speaker 1: in the post era of two boxers that just constantly
Speaker 1: spar against each other, but one always loses, and then
Speaker 1: you lose the ability to even know how to win.
Speaker 1: And I think Cleveland, this Browns team prior to this
Speaker 1: year's thing, completely lost any knowledge of how to deal
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh as a team because they were running the
Speaker 1: ball at Dealers. These dealers are better. They were in
Speaker 1: control at halftime, they were control halfway through the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: They dominated this game, and there were multiple opportunities for
Speaker 1: the Browns to quit, and coming out at halftime, Tyrod
Speaker 1: Taylor and Jarvis Landry would not let them quit. That
Speaker 1: attitude is infectious. They could have quit again in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The same two players would not let them quit.
Speaker 1: Landry and Tyrod, which benefit to them. But Myles Garrett
Speaker 1: is the difference. And and they have playmakers on defense.
Speaker 1: And Greg Williams takes a lot of heat, but Greg
Speaker 1: Williams consistently has turnover heavy defenses. That's that's what he does.
Speaker 1: They have ogan job at a really game, I thought,
Speaker 1: and they they have playmakers at every level. Jamie Collins
Speaker 1: looks a little better healthier this year too, so they
Speaker 1: they're they're a D offense. I think that's gonna be
Speaker 1: able to win the turnover. I love Baker Mayfield, but
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to question what would have happened
Speaker 1: in that game if there was a rookie quarterback. Would
Speaker 1: they have had the mental fortitude to come back? Is
Speaker 1: it too soon West for the desert people to uh,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're in the desert too, if you
Speaker 1: had to get behind a player to win certain awards
Speaker 1: that that honor players for their defensive greatness above all
Speaker 1: other defensive players at the defensive end. For the now,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a bridge too far, Like, let's
Speaker 1: aim for Pro Bowl, then All Pro, then Defensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year, especially when von Miller's doing what he's doing.
Speaker 1: Do you hear that, Cort Khalil Mack not yet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, well, the defensive Player of the year pick. Though,
Speaker 1: the key is, you know, you want to see those odds.
Speaker 1: It's all about value. I mean, if no, if everyone's
Speaker 1: sleeping on Garrett, then take a shot. Greg's on the
Speaker 1: phone of this bookie right now. Finally, bookies don't really
Speaker 1: exist that you can have your awards, do they. You
Speaker 1: can have your awards, you can call him whatever you want,
Speaker 1: but the fact is, when the game's on the line,
Speaker 1: you have to account for this guy. And that says
Speaker 1: everything you need to know about him. He's a badass.
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, all right, what wegen it's not too early
Speaker 1: for a little conspiracy theory, and it's not too early
Speaker 1: to say that New England's covert Trozen Trojan Horse operation
Speaker 1: a k a. Project Pink Pony continues to work. Wonders,
Speaker 1: this is the other side of the before about right
Speaker 1: is in place since two thousand three Project Pink Pony,
Speaker 1: which is harder to say than I realized. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I called it. This is a Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: led plot to send his minions throughout the league to
Speaker 1: take over and neutralize opposing teams. Logic would suggest Pink
Speaker 1: Pony backfired with first year Lions coach Matt Patricia Lane
Speaker 1: an egg against the Jets, a division opponent, but it
Speaker 1: worked a perfection in Sunday's Patriots Texans tussle, where we
Speaker 1: saw a vintage Tom Brady before the half. Leading fourteen
Speaker 1: to six with one thirty nine left before the break,
Speaker 1: the Patriots called time out before a Texans punt. New
Speaker 1: England partially blocked the kick before taking over at their
Speaker 1: own twenty two. Brady and friends, all implanted with behavior
Speaker 1: controlling data chips upon signing with the team, marched down
Speaker 1: the field like Belichick in control autobots, going seventy eight
Speaker 1: yards over eight plays for the easy touchdown. A pair
Speaker 1: of ex Patriots employees, Texans coach Bill O'Brien and Houston
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Romeo Cornell registered one thousand yards stairs as
Speaker 1: guys like court ar Old Pattison and Philip Dorset doubled
Speaker 1: as streaming all Stars. Project Pink Pony has taken out
Speaker 1: the Texans, while the Titans, with Mike Rabel, Dion Lewis
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Butler on board, will be the next to go.
Speaker 1: That's assured with ex Patriots front office man John Robinson
Speaker 1: overseeing the entire operation. Pink Pony's rich history of sabotage
Speaker 1: has many roots, notably creating Hell from Mark and Dan
Speaker 1: when Eric man Genie was sent out like an Imperial
Speaker 1: Probe droid to kill from inside the Jets and Browns.
Speaker 1: This on the heels of Romeo Crenell doing the same
Speaker 1: in Cleveland before Man Genius not really even a man
Speaker 1: but a Foxborough created synth, though Man arrived to spin
Speaker 1: Bill's Webb. Don't even get me started on Josh McDaniels
Speaker 1: scattering the Broncos with a somewhat unoriginal spy to been
Speaker 1: scandal and looking like a man Churian candidate while running
Speaker 1: the Rams offense under Jeff Fisher before creating in house
Speaker 1: chaos for the Colts after bouncing as their head coach.
Speaker 1: With Pink Pony still thriving and undetected by Rock, It's
Speaker 1: not too early to promise you the Patriots will go
Speaker 1: thirteen and three all over again. Seacrest out why Pink
Speaker 1: Pony is the name. It's a playoff Trojan Horse. You
Speaker 1: can't call it Operation Trojan Horse. I feel like in
Speaker 1: the future Mark will just have like prerecorded reads that
Speaker 1: he sends in two days in advance and won't have
Speaker 1: to come to this podcast anymore come for the rest
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, I'm just on a new shift anyway,
Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna send in these I give I
Speaker 1: give the Pink Pony Operation a lot of credit for
Speaker 1: for Spygate, I mean, the fact that they went that
Speaker 1: far to really throw people off. Last in terms of
Speaker 1: man Eric Mangini, no one's going to suspect that well.
Speaker 1: Once it gets found out, though, that's when people get
Speaker 1: really upset. When Bill Belichick pulls one over on the
Speaker 1: league and the other, which is and owners. There's suspensions
Speaker 1: and fines coming for and I appreciate Thomas de Mitdraft's
Speaker 1: commitment to it to build up that three lead in
Speaker 1: the super Bowl before that Pink Pony Appara. It's just like,
Speaker 1: what are you guys talking about? Like, it's ridiculous, It's
Speaker 1: so ridiculous. I think, Well, she's right, actually, and so
Speaker 1: dismissive of I would say this that any really great
Speaker 1: CIA plot must make the plotters themselves look bad at times,
Speaker 1: you can say, and it is ridiculous. Yeah. It's interesting
Speaker 1: though that that the the producer of the jessel Nick
Speaker 1: and Rosenthal Vanity Project. Yeah, I really got in here,
Speaker 1: who had bragged to the host of that uh, Anthony
Speaker 1: jestink that she has an improv background. Wanted to throw
Speaker 1: that in, wouldn't understand kind of the idea to kind
Speaker 1: of play a long let's support the d's not. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. Wow, No, Anthony, nice to meet you. I've
Speaker 1: got a background in improv, so you know, I mean
Speaker 1: checks out well, I mean like, yeah, I took one
Speaker 1: class in high school. But I'm not. This is Greg's
Speaker 1: got Greg's story is starting to bear weight. And if
Speaker 1: you're a fan of nineties alternative rock, there's the Throwback podcast.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Bring it all out let's just
Speaker 1: start a new podcast every every week Pickadilly Circus and
Speaker 1: that he's starting a CINTI Cincinnati Reds say, I would,
Speaker 1: I said I, if I was to ever do it,
Speaker 1: that would be it. We're changing games now. I do
Speaker 1: have a side pod which we which we uh cooked
Speaker 1: up a little bit on our trip, which I will
Speaker 1: be announcing, not through these channels. That's gonna I want
Speaker 1: to know. All right, that's damn right. I'm gonna bring
Speaker 1: it up Dan Today's show. Kids gotta go to school someday.
Speaker 1: And we're hoping. I didn't say that hoping to bring
Speaker 1: it up. We're hoping for a season two. So let's
Speaker 1: let's I didn't say you should have cracked up. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I think you should have held the show. One thing.
Speaker 1: I think you should have held your ground and kept
Speaker 1: it r J v P. That's basic branding. I think
Speaker 1: it's uh. I think it's a fun plot line. I
Speaker 1: swear it was actually the plan from the beginning. There's
Speaker 1: there's season arcs. It was always going to change season two,
Speaker 1: Season three gonna be the tam posset herself into the show.
Speaker 1: All right, We'll be back on late Thursday with a
Speaker 1: recap of the Thursday night football game between the Ravens
Speaker 1: and Bengals, and then a preview of all the week
Speaker 1: two games to come on Sunday and Monday, so make
Speaker 1: sure you're back for that, and a reminder yes, next
Speaker 1: Tuesday the launch of our Twitter show follow uh false
