Speaker 1: Wheezy out. Welcome to the Friday Fun Show working title
Speaker 1: Dan Hands Us with Mark Sessler and Greg Rosenthal from
Speaker 1: across the south Land, across America all the way to
Speaker 1: the Jersey Shore. Welcome to our live stream episode of
Speaker 1: the week. As we get ready for Week seven, we
Speaker 1: see the message board the commenters already firing off, getting
Speaker 1: pumped up UM, and we will be reaching out and
Speaker 1: connecting with the listeners early on. Mark, I know this
Speaker 1: is your favorite show of the week for so many reasons,
Speaker 1: including this week. It's about me, will be about you,
Speaker 1: and it is about you, and you love that I do.
Speaker 1: I like the Spotlight UM focus directly on me at
Speaker 1: all times for both positive and negative news. And I
Speaker 1: didn't know that this was a thing that Mark pretended
Speaker 1: that he didn't like the Spotlight. This is like a
Speaker 1: new two trend. I don't understand. I feel like this
Speaker 1: has been an important week. Mark has often come at
Speaker 1: you and me Greg for saying we we seek contention
Speaker 1: in the Spotlight. But Mark has always been one of us.
Speaker 1: And now the monster within is coming above the surface
Speaker 1: of the water. Well, this is it's an absurd way
Speaker 1: to get into the show here. I have a question
Speaker 1: for you, damn, because I'm tracking this heavily. What did
Speaker 1: your mother make you for breakfast? Week? We got yesterday's
Speaker 1: eggs with um onion and pap rica. I think you said, like,
Speaker 1: what what happened today? We have so much to get to,
Speaker 1: including a blockbuster trade, but this is important as well.
Speaker 1: Yesterday yes eggs, onions and eggs with some paprika. Today
Speaker 1: we're down at the Jersey Shore. I went to the
Speaker 1: local coffee shop. I love Turnstile. I got a nice latte,
Speaker 1: I got an Alman croissant, and I watched the Thursday
Speaker 1: night football game. I was tied up with the Yankees
Speaker 1: failing in Houston last night's I got caught up prep
Speaker 1: for this show. And this is where we are very
Speaker 1: excited to get into today's show, boys, because we've got
Speaker 1: so much going on. We have the Thursday night football
Speaker 1: recap between the Cards and the Saints. We have Rachel
Speaker 1: Banetta joining us in just a little bit, one of
Speaker 1: our favorites. We have It's About Me with Mark Sessler.
Speaker 1: We have an injury update ahead of Sunday's games, and
Speaker 1: some fearless predictions. But first, yes, the huge blockbuster trade
Speaker 1: that went down late at the end of Thursday Night
Speaker 1: football kind of came out. The San Francisco forty nine
Speaker 1: are sending second, third, and fourth round picks and a
Speaker 1: fifth round pick in to the Panthers UM four star
Speaker 1: running back Christian McCaffrey. Adam Schefter broke it. It's official.
Speaker 1: It's a done deal. So McCaffrey, the former Offensive Player
Speaker 1: of the Year, the former one thousand receiving one thousand
Speaker 1: rushing running back, now joins the San Francisco offense that
Speaker 1: obviously got a lot more dynamic with a big trade.
Speaker 1: Here is GM of the Panthers, Scott Fitterer, when asked
Speaker 1: by well, actually it's hold on Scott talking about what's
Speaker 1: going on with the Panthers. Let's focus starting Greg with
Speaker 1: the forty Niners, a team that we were just talking
Speaker 1: about on Thursday show. Is this offense explosive enough? There's
Speaker 1: Jimmy g put a cap on what they can do. Well,
Speaker 1: you had a guy like McCaffrey just got a lot
Speaker 1: more feisty. Yeah. I mean, it's a it's an all
Speaker 1: in move, and I think it's interesting in this season
Speaker 1: in context of the Rams and how well Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: and there passing attack has been in the past, we
Speaker 1: always think like, oh, the running games kind of carrying
Speaker 1: the forty Niners opens Jimmy G's along for the ride.
Speaker 1: This year their seventh and passing d v O A
Speaker 1: and they're always solid, they're always efficient there twenty six
Speaker 1: and running they haven't been able to get the running
Speaker 1: game going, like Shanahan's lost his magic a little bit
Speaker 1: because of all the injuries and personnel and offensive line,
Speaker 1: and McCaffrey fixes all that, and I think they look
Speaker 1: at this offense, and they look at this defense if
Speaker 1: they can get healthy, and they say, like, we're one
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl contenders this year. And I think
Speaker 1: they look at it in the context of the Rams,
Speaker 1: the moves that the Rams have made to try to
Speaker 1: push them over the top. And they got their Super
Speaker 1: Bowl a year ago. And who was the other team
Speaker 1: in the mix. According to our friend Jordan Rodrig of
Speaker 1: the Athletic Pushing Hard for Christian McCaffrey, it was the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams, and I think that's why they had
Speaker 1: to pay so much. Scott Fitter You'll you'll get to
Speaker 1: it mentioned he thought this was equivalent of a first
Speaker 1: round pick getting a second and what was it, two
Speaker 1: thirds and fourth? Ultimately that a second, third and the fourth.
Speaker 1: He's right, that is equivalent to a first round pick.
Speaker 1: They got a totally fair value, a nice value for McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: It's a big risk for the forty Niners, but no
Speaker 1: one's gonna care if they make the super Bowl. And
Speaker 1: that's kind of the bar now. If they don't make
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, this was not in the next two
Speaker 1: years or win the super Bowl, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: a bust. I mean, I think if you if you
Speaker 1: look at what the Niners have done over the last
Speaker 1: couple of seasons, the move for Trey lance Um and
Speaker 1: it's not worked out to date, but had it um
Speaker 1: the way. The reason they did it was they viewed
Speaker 1: themselves back then as a player away from being Super
Speaker 1: Bowl gold. I mean, they got to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: with Jimmy G. But it's like a true quarterback would
Speaker 1: take us over the top. All right, they're gonna sit
Speaker 1: with Jimmy G. But again they say, in this environment
Speaker 1: in the NFC that we're in right now, where again
Speaker 1: we've talked about this all day yesterday on our preview show.
Speaker 1: It's such a water down league. Right now, there's really
Speaker 1: very few dominant teams out there, and the Niners probably
Speaker 1: look at Chris McCaffrey and say, once again, he's the
Speaker 1: guy that can put us over the top, especially when
Speaker 1: you think about how do you attack the teams we're
Speaker 1: gonna face in January the Eagles, a team like the
Speaker 1: Eagles that's stacked on defense. Christian McCaffrey is the guy
Speaker 1: that can change all that. And we always praise you know,
Speaker 1: Belichick's Patriots and days of old for having such versatile players.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 1: I think they look at the two of them and say,
Speaker 1: there's no combination of players who can do slot, wide, receiver,
Speaker 1: running back. They can do it all. Like those guys
Speaker 1: you're throwing Brandon you, Kyle Hues checked, George Kittle, And
Speaker 1: if if Jimmy g keeps the mistakes down and you
Speaker 1: have a top three defense that gets healthier and the
Speaker 1: line gets healthier, the Niners have a right to view
Speaker 1: themselves as the team to beat in the NFC because
Speaker 1: the Rams have fallen off a cliff and it really
Speaker 1: comes down to the Philadelphia Eagles. I think, well, it's
Speaker 1: it's a double it hits double hard for the Niners
Speaker 1: and their fans in terms of celebration because you you're
Speaker 1: in love with the upside of this trade and you
Speaker 1: stick it to the Rams, who I think we're getting
Speaker 1: into this place where we are in the football world
Speaker 1: now where they're just you're gonna assume they're always gonna
Speaker 1: be the team that pulls off the big deal. So
Speaker 1: you finally got a guy that the Rams wanted. And yeah,
Speaker 1: deebot deebo i, you kittle CMC, that's a great recipe
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan to give us go full Shannahan. Who
Speaker 1: was it that rush for two d yards and four
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Packers in the NFC title game a
Speaker 1: couple of years back? Was that most dit that? I mean,
Speaker 1: you now have the type of running backing McCaffrey who
Speaker 1: could deliver a game like that if the if the
Speaker 1: things are at the stars are aligned, and and you
Speaker 1: put the San Francisco off in in a place where, yes,
Speaker 1: there's still not going to be a deep strike, big
Speaker 1: play attack in a traditional sense because Jimmy g puts
Speaker 1: a cap on that somewhat. But if you trust Shanahan's
Speaker 1: ability to call plays and and get the most out
Speaker 1: of a running back like CMC. This is exciting. Now.
Speaker 1: The reason why they had to give up so much
Speaker 1: UH in terms of draft capital is you are trading
Speaker 1: a for the idea of CMC from a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. UH. And also the idea this is not
Speaker 1: a rental. He's he's doing an outrageous amount of money
Speaker 1: next year that you would think there might be a
Speaker 1: restructure to make it all work for San Francisco's books.
Speaker 1: But I don't think they do this trade unless there's
Speaker 1: an understanding. And I know the McCaffrey's and the Shanahan's
Speaker 1: go way back, so all of this makes sense. However,
Speaker 1: and it's a big However, McCaffrey can't stay healthy and
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners are a snake bitten team
Speaker 1: with health. Now, I don't think it makes him more
Speaker 1: risky at risk for injury because now he's a forty Niner.
Speaker 1: That would be stupid. But at the same time, we
Speaker 1: need to see McCay affrey in this offense and stay
Speaker 1: healthy because if he gets hurt, they're kind of right
Speaker 1: back to where they started. The one thing. I'd say though,
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons the Rams were very
Speaker 1: into McCaffrey beyond just the idea of what he could
Speaker 1: do for their offense and would fill a void for them,
Speaker 1: they just played him and they just saw him, and
Speaker 1: he looks like the old McCaffrey. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: he's he's also been healthy this season, he's been great,
Speaker 1: and so that's where that bidding war came from. I
Speaker 1: think on one level was like they saw him up
Speaker 1: close and personal and thought this guy could change our offense.
Speaker 1: So it is a huge win for the Niners on
Speaker 1: that front. And I would just say the only thing
Speaker 1: is like they've you know, Shannahan's never had a thousand
Speaker 1: yard Russia in this Niners offense, which is kind of
Speaker 1: crazy because he's probably you know, it's always been a
Speaker 1: committee and these guys are getting hurt left and right. Um.
Speaker 1: The only thing about it like that I kind of
Speaker 1: view is a bit excessive, is that I don't know
Speaker 1: if Shanahan in most of his years needed McCaffrey to
Speaker 1: have a great running game, he hasn't. He's he's turned
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson into that guy. So I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: bit of a luxury. But I love the idea of like,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go for it, if this is your window,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have Jimmy g next year. You don't
Speaker 1: know what trade lance is, do it now? I like that.
Speaker 1: I like the risk taking, daring, dew element of the
Speaker 1: whole thing. I'm with you on that too, Mark. I
Speaker 1: think it's a big swing for the fences by the Niners.
Speaker 1: Love the trade on the on the Carolina side of things, Greggy,
Speaker 1: I know you loved her nerd out on this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me how we've talked about how the
Speaker 1: Panthers have tried and tried and tried to make a
Speaker 1: big splash in recent years and the fates have just
Speaker 1: not aligned. And I thought this is interesting, even this
Speaker 1: trade where they had this guy that was a generational
Speaker 1: talent at running back when healthy uh and a market
Speaker 1: with two Super Bowl contenders and the two teams at
Speaker 1: the forefront were missing the one thing that the Panthers
Speaker 1: really wanted. Here's GM Scott Fitter talking about the trade
Speaker 1: market and clearly referring to the Forts, yes, but also
Speaker 1: the Rams. But we talked to the teams, um, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of teams didn't have first round picks. You
Speaker 1: know that we thought, you know, in that area was
Speaker 1: probably the right area for Christian with regarding everything. Um,
Speaker 1: so they complicated that there wasn't a first round pick
Speaker 1: to be had, So we had to figure out what's
Speaker 1: the equivalent of a first round pick? If that's the case,
Speaker 1: just Greg, kind of a bummer for the Panthers. That, yes,
Speaker 1: the Rams traded their first round pick, as they always do,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't there in trade lance that trade, let
Speaker 1: you know, first round pick for a San Francisco It
Speaker 1: is a bummer. Yet, I if I'm a Panthers fan,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy about this trade. I'm not happy where
Speaker 1: the franchise is, and I'm not happy that Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: thing hasn't worked out. But to get off this contract
Speaker 1: and get three mid round picks and then another fifth
Speaker 1: feels good like he's done before the season. Greggy, If
Speaker 1: if you would have told Panther Spans you're gonna trade
Speaker 1: McCaffrey a week and a half before the deadline and
Speaker 1: you won't get a first round pick, they would they
Speaker 1: would not be happy with that. Well, that that's that's
Speaker 1: totally fair because it would indicate that their season has
Speaker 1: gone totally haywire wire. But I think the trade compensation,
Speaker 1: just in a vacuum, was pretty good for a running back.
Speaker 1: If anything, it makes the crazy contract that they gave
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, which people were like, don't pay running backs
Speaker 1: like that, feel a little better because you got all
Speaker 1: these picks back. I mean, ultimately you did get something
Speaker 1: out of him. And one thing I do want to say,
Speaker 1: just on the financial side, people have kind of looked
Speaker 1: at it like, oh, McCaffrey's worth so much, and Warren
Speaker 1: Sharp sent out a tweet that had all the cap
Speaker 1: numbers wrong because he put like the signing bonus into
Speaker 1: the cap numbers, and the Panthers already paid that signing bonus.
Speaker 1: They're just eating that dead cap. He's under contract pretty cheaply,
Speaker 1: I think, fairly for the next three years at eleven,
Speaker 1: twelve and twelve million dollar cap number. I don't think
Speaker 1: they have to change his contract at all. He's still
Speaker 1: one of the higher paid running backs in the league.
Speaker 1: But it's not outrageous. I don't think for a guy
Speaker 1: like McCaffrey, and they got these yak bros. And I
Speaker 1: include McCaffrey in that mix together for a while, so
Speaker 1: it's not just a one year move. I think they
Speaker 1: should have Debo i U who's on his rookie deal,
Speaker 1: Kittle who's under contract, that that should be the pass
Speaker 1: catching I'm gonna run for fifty yards when Jimmy g
Speaker 1: drops it off five yards core for a little while,
Speaker 1: which is nice. I would also say, I mean they
Speaker 1: they You can say you want multiple first round picks.
Speaker 1: I want to lie they were never get that. I
Speaker 1: don't get everything I want and neither where the Panthers
Speaker 1: gonna get everything they wanted here? That was pie in
Speaker 1: the sky to trade him now when there's just this
Speaker 1: distinct need, um with a couple of teams that thought
Speaker 1: he is the final piece. They got more than they
Speaker 1: would have gotten trying to trade him in the off season.
Speaker 1: I just believe that I think it would have been.
Speaker 1: This is about as much as they could have asked for.
Speaker 1: They're in a tough position. Um. Also, I think part
Speaker 1: of it is where are you going to be with
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey next season At this time or the year after.
Speaker 1: They were a rebuilding team that has no idea who
Speaker 1: their quarterback is Christian McCaffrey does not fit into that
Speaker 1: offense right now. All right, let's check in with the
Speaker 1: listeners streaming live on the Friday Fun Show. Working title
Speaker 1: about this big trade. Uh, let's check what do you
Speaker 1: got where his grave? Digger? Grave digger? Huh? Whoa got it? Hey?
Speaker 1: Has it? On the soap Bottles wants to know will
Speaker 1: the Panthers go scorched earth? Scorched earth and trade? Everything
Speaker 1: not nailed down now? Well, Fitterer was asked about that
Speaker 1: and he said, this is not a rebuild. We're trying
Speaker 1: to win, but get out of here with that. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you just wish that there would be just honesty from
Speaker 1: the GM. That's like, listen, our plan it has not
Speaker 1: worked out. We're we're trying to get this thing right,
Speaker 1: and we didn't want to trade CMC. He's a foundational piece,
Speaker 1: so we thought he was. But we got to take
Speaker 1: a different approach here and uh, yeah, we're building for tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Just say that. Why not? It depends on the players.
Speaker 1: You know, I think they're putting DJ Moore, for instance,
Speaker 1: in a different bucket that like, we still need to
Speaker 1: keep young um players that we have under contract that
Speaker 1: are good. They might not want to trade him. If
Speaker 1: someone comes in over the top rope for Brian Burns
Speaker 1: and offers a first and to me, he would probably
Speaker 1: have more value than Christian McCaffrey. I would think they
Speaker 1: would have to listen to that. But I think they'll
Speaker 1: they'll play a little harder to get with the rest
Speaker 1: of their roster. They've they have already picked up what
Speaker 1: four or five picks here between him and Robby Anderson?
Speaker 1: This is not bad? Yeah? What else we got? Great? Bigger?
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna throw two at you that are related.
Speaker 1: The first one Eric Boogie will see MC start and
Speaker 1: get a majority of the touches for San Francisco at
Speaker 1: running back this week. Only one man has that answer.
Speaker 1: It's Mark Sessler. What's part two? I have both debot
Speaker 1: and CMC, but as Niners on my team now doing
Speaker 1: trade one or keep both? See? I also have Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey in the fantasy league. What the heck should I
Speaker 1: do this week? Stack? Yeah, I think we're going to
Speaker 1: see him this weekend. I don't. I don't think that
Speaker 1: it's not you know, you're not asking to come in
Speaker 1: and play quarterback in a scheme. He's never heard about.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a running back. I think they've
Speaker 1: already talked about red zone kind of thing. This was
Speaker 1: my lock. The chiefs um, I am reserving the right
Speaker 1: to rethink that, uh, that lock because it's you know,
Speaker 1: the elements have changed, the weather has changed. That's good
Speaker 1: because they said red zone. But I bet it's one
Speaker 1: of those things that he gets into the game a
Speaker 1: little bit and then they feel like they can't resist
Speaker 1: just playing him more and more. He definitely and set
Speaker 1: him in fantasy. By the way, Graver like, even if
Speaker 1: he only played snaps, I feel like, you gotta play
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey unless I can't now because I would have
Speaker 1: put DeAndre Hopkins in. But I'm gonna I'm gonna highlight
Speaker 1: this one. Aaron Castillo sharp as attack. I think Dan
Speaker 1: essentially acted as Fitterer's puppet by stating exactly what Fitterer
Speaker 1: would say for him without him having to do it.
Speaker 1: He got me, fitter got me, But you've put his
Speaker 1: hand right up me and turn me into a puppet.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, sorry, probably not long for that job.
Speaker 1: I suspect he's which is a weird thing. He's making
Speaker 1: these trades and I kind of don't expect him to
Speaker 1: know that's a good point. And I did cross my
Speaker 1: mind as well this morning, Greggy, like, you always run
Speaker 1: the risk of holding onto a guy too long, especially
Speaker 1: somebody like CMC struggled and say healthy, but maybe that's
Speaker 1: a piece that the next guy gets. But I mean,
Speaker 1: there's just so much stuff going on with this organization.
Speaker 1: Aaron Jaffey is CMC to the Niners the biggest running
Speaker 1: back trade of the decade? Uh? Well, I would say
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson got a first that was bigger. Actually, I mean,
Speaker 1: he wasn't a bigger star, but it was. It was
Speaker 1: more surprising and he got more um. Of course, there
Speaker 1: was the herschel Walker trade. Herschel Walker famous now for
Speaker 1: other reasons, but he used to be famous for setting
Speaker 1: up that Cowboys dynasty. I don't think this is going
Speaker 1: He's famous for having a clear eyed look into the
Speaker 1: future of America. How about Marshawn Lynch. That was a
Speaker 1: big trade, although at the time people really thought he
Speaker 1: was used goods and that it wasn't that big of
Speaker 1: a deal. But they got a lot for him when
Speaker 1: they trade him from the Bills to the Seahawks. The
Speaker 1: way the question is phrased, wouldn't it actually be just
Speaker 1: from two now? Yeah? So I got one for you,
Speaker 1: David Johnson for DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and say, yes, this has been the biggest trade
Speaker 1: of the decade. One more. Then we're gonna get Rachel
Speaker 1: and Eric boogie again. The boogie. The Boogieman is having
Speaker 1: a big Halloween season. He's got good questions. Are we
Speaker 1: entering a golden era for NFL trades? Oh? This has
Speaker 1: got greggy written all over it. Why is trading so
Speaker 1: much more prevalent than it was just a few years ago. Well,
Speaker 1: I gotta say the trade tsunami was slightly ahead of
Speaker 1: its time. But I the trade tsunami I was predicted
Speaker 1: from a four or five years ago has hit. It's
Speaker 1: because it's easier to get people under the cap now,
Speaker 1: like the cap is so high. I think they structure
Speaker 1: these trades, uh, these um contracts in a way that
Speaker 1: just makes it easier for people to trade and move
Speaker 1: money into the future, and people aren't that close to
Speaker 1: the cap all the time. It's a beautiful thing. It's
Speaker 1: makes the NFL much more interesting. You know what's you
Speaker 1: know what else is a beautiful thing, this world that
Speaker 1: we live in, an NFL media where this woman now
Speaker 1: counts as a colleague joining us. Now she's got bangs
Speaker 1: Rachel Bonetta. Listen to listen. It's not make a big
Speaker 1: thing about it, okay, mentally to our YouTube. Fine, mentally,
Speaker 1: That's all you need to know is that a thing.
Speaker 1: Is there a correlation with women getting bangs with some
Speaker 1: type of So I've gotten so many messages like are
Speaker 1: you doing okay? I called my mom and she she
Speaker 1: just said, oh, sweetie, well what is that shirt you're wearing?
Speaker 1: Rage for you? That's a beautiful throwback New York Jet
Speaker 1: screen sweatshirt. This is also a good luck chart. My friend,
Speaker 1: I wore this right before I think they played the Browns.
Speaker 1: All I bought this before they played the Browns them
Speaker 1: no problem, interesting that one. All right, welcome back to
Speaker 1: Bangs with Banetta. Thank you Jason Joseph for that. So Rage.
Speaker 1: We're going to get into a bunch of things, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna start now by transitioning to the Thursday night
Speaker 1: football recap. You're ready to uh hit that hard. I'm
Speaker 1: ready to rock. Let's say to hit it at a
Speaker 1: mediocre pace, We'll be right back. Dalton straight dropped back
Speaker 1: but rolls over the middle and a rum heading interception
Speaker 1: by Isaiah Simmons in midfield runs it back to the
Speaker 1: left of the forty pat the thirty at at the
Speaker 1: pet Simmons in back to back intercepting returns for touchdowns
Speaker 1: by the Cardinals at the end of the half. The
Speaker 1: third peck thrown by Andy Dalton and the Cardinals defense
Speaker 1: but takeaways, turning them directly into scores. How about that?
Speaker 1: As Mark exits the shot, tries to get back into
Speaker 1: the shot in time, but fails to. Marco Wilson and
Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons scored touchdowns on pick six is within a
Speaker 1: minute of each other late in the first half, and
Speaker 1: it was the driver for the Cardinals and a forty
Speaker 1: two to thirty four win over the Saints. And the
Speaker 1: Saints of the Cardinals improved to three and four, it's
Speaker 1: the first time they've won in their building in a year.
Speaker 1: And for the Saints, we're gonna get to the Saints
Speaker 1: because we've talked a lot about the Saints in the
Speaker 1: summer and it's time to re examine that situation. Rachel.
Speaker 1: Let me start with you on this one because when
Speaker 1: you were uh kind enough to join us in London
Speaker 1: on stage to talk about the figures in the NFL
Speaker 1: that fascinate you, Kyler Murray was one of those figures.
Speaker 1: And this was another spotlight game with people paying attention
Speaker 1: not just to the game, but what's going on with
Speaker 1: the Arizona operation. And I think people will remember this
Speaker 1: game for two things, the double pick six by Dalton
Speaker 1: only ones his fault, and then the Kyler Murray sideline.
Speaker 1: I don't know, altercation feels strong with Cliff Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 1: but he ran up to his coast racially and said,
Speaker 1: calm down, what do you what do you think about
Speaker 1: this game? For the car There's a few more words
Speaker 1: in that sentence. Yeah, I don't think it was calming down.
Speaker 1: There's a few more things. And then he kept going,
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the state of the Cardinals after that game?
Speaker 1: Just if I'm de Hopp and I'm coming back, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh God, can can I be Christian McCaffrey? Can I
Speaker 1: go somewhere else as well? Like, it's just it's such
Speaker 1: a it's such a mess. You can you can get
Speaker 1: excited about the Cardinals because of the two picks and
Speaker 1: and then winning and putting up a lot of scores
Speaker 1: on the board, Deander Hopkins being back. But then it's
Speaker 1: just that one moment that tells you so much more
Speaker 1: than the score does. And this scheme is a absolute mess.
Speaker 1: You've got Kyler who is seemingly very immature, and to
Speaker 1: be honest, I kind of thought I was putting all
Speaker 1: of the problems on Kyler and then you see him
Speaker 1: wigging out over Cliff, seemingly yelling and getting upset, overly
Speaker 1: upset in his ear. And I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys heard his Like the post game, he was like, um,
Speaker 1: Cliff was like, it's just a bunch of gen Z stuff.
Speaker 1: They're like they care about what you look like on television.
Speaker 1: Like it's a mess. It is a full blown mess,
Speaker 1: and I kind of love it. Yeah, Michael Morgan chimes
Speaker 1: in with youth and Kyler yells at this much at
Speaker 1: his CEO D Friends Online. That's called says that exact
Speaker 1: same sentence, And that's why it came out of his
Speaker 1: mouth so easily. It's because he just yells that all
Speaker 1: the time. But I love how messy it is. It's
Speaker 1: just gross and I wanted to keep on. I don't
Speaker 1: want Clif to go anywhere. I want them to ride
Speaker 1: this out. D Hopp was just like, I'm not married,
Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, seems like what a marriage
Speaker 1: would be like, Um, it's kind of right, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know, But what's that what's that show a
Speaker 1: marriage story? What's the one with Adam Driver and he's
Speaker 1: this is marriage story NFL? And know how that movie right?
Speaker 1: It could have been called divorce story? And uh, one
Speaker 1: of those guys makes a lot more than the other,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, he seems the one that would
Speaker 1: stick around more. It was kind of funny because as
Speaker 1: much as Kyler yelled at him to come, you know,
Speaker 1: they left down and then continued to scream at him
Speaker 1: for another twenty second. Cliff listened. He was kind of
Speaker 1: just sitting there being like, okay, thank you, and then
Speaker 1: Kyler just kept yelling and then walked away. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the score was fourteen to six at that point.
Speaker 1: If that was Tom Brady doing that, maybe we'd give
Speaker 1: Tom Brady credit for inspiring the troops because they had
Speaker 1: their best twenty minutes of the season right after Kyler
Speaker 1: did that I think it is like a marriage though,
Speaker 1: because I mean, Kyler and Cliff have known each other
Speaker 1: since Kyler Murray was in high school. It's been a
Speaker 1: long time, and it does remind you kind of like
Speaker 1: when you're in that break up phase and you're getting
Speaker 1: like in fights at like a Chinese restaurant and out
Speaker 1: out in the street like they're all over each other.
Speaker 1: It's been like weeks in a row where Kyler Murray's
Speaker 1: sort of nonplussed with the way that Cliff Kingsbury comports
Speaker 1: himself on the sideline. And now gen z comment was like,
Speaker 1: I like to be emotional, and he's coming and telling
Speaker 1: me to try to be the cool guy, saying calm down,
Speaker 1: keep a chill. But they're in each other's ear and stuff,
Speaker 1: and it seems to just not quite be working in
Speaker 1: concert on any j Z comment is condescending. He's calling
Speaker 1: him immature, and they're taking by your player as condescending.
Speaker 1: I mean that put Cliff in a tough spot and
Speaker 1: a little bit emasculating that that jumps to mind, and
Speaker 1: I understand now that would never happen in the eighties
Speaker 1: or even the nineties, or even the beginning of the
Speaker 1: New Century where a player would do that. The dynamic
Speaker 1: between players and coaches in general is a lot more
Speaker 1: chill and different than it was like when Bill Parcels was,
Speaker 1: you know, ruling the world with an iron fist. But still, yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It's it's pretty unusual for the quarterback to
Speaker 1: every very publicly tell the head coach to pipe down
Speaker 1: in the middle of a prime time game. But you know,
Speaker 1: on the other end of it, they moved the ball
Speaker 1: well for stretches of this game. They did a nice
Speaker 1: job essentially putting this game away in the second half
Speaker 1: and never letting New Orleans really get back into it.
Speaker 1: So I thought that was progress. And on the on
Speaker 1: the saint side of the ball um mark you have.
Speaker 1: You have a team that we talked about in the summer.
Speaker 1: We said, this team probably has the highest ceiling potentially
Speaker 1: of these kind of fringe E contender teams, but also
Speaker 1: pretty low floor. And this is one of the most
Speaker 1: penalized teams in the league. They have the worst turnover
Speaker 1: differential in the NFL. The defense is underperformed, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Andy Dalton now is looking like Jamis Winston.
Speaker 1: And at that point it's like what's the point, just
Speaker 1: play Jamis Winston. Another tough night for the Saints and
Speaker 1: what's been a tough season. Yeah, they're they're disorganized, they're
Speaker 1: a mess. And when we talked about the floor before
Speaker 1: the season, we're seeing the floor because what I thought
Speaker 1: they would have um before they traded away Gardner Johnson
Speaker 1: was one of the nastiest secondaries in the league. Well,
Speaker 1: they don't. And their defense in general is simply not
Speaker 1: the Saints defense that we grew accustomed to over the
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons. And the quarterback situation, I mean,
Speaker 1: they went into this season with two veteran quarterbacks with
Speaker 1: overt issues and limitations, and so that's what we're getting now,
Speaker 1: a dueling banjo job between two quarterbacks with overt situations
Speaker 1: that are problematic. And Andy Dalton and me. I mean
Speaker 1: that Marco Wilson flip behind him as he's walking away, Uh,
Speaker 1: just leveled. It's essentially his move right when they when
Speaker 1: he goes into the we know the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: of like mezzanine level quarterbacks that that will exist at
Speaker 1: some point. That will be the tape they show when
Speaker 1: he's inducted, because it was one of the greatest things
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in slow motion in my entire life.
Speaker 1: That's two weeks in a row. Do you guys? What
Speaker 1: was it that? What was the cam? Was that the
Speaker 1: Giants cam that went kind of crazy last week and
Speaker 1: like it was like inception and like turned on an angle.
Speaker 1: Then we had this shot this week. You know how
Speaker 1: like at the end of the year, National Geographic will
Speaker 1: put together like the greatest moments in photography over the past.
Speaker 1: That's got to be in there. And I am voting
Speaker 1: for it. Dang it. Do you have a vote? Are
Speaker 1: you on the community? I feel like that will live on.
Speaker 1: I think I should be. Let's start a petition now
Speaker 1: you do with the banks. It's like it deserves something
Speaker 1: for years and it's Andy Dawton's career in a nutshell
Speaker 1: because I don't know one wants to hear it. But
Speaker 1: Dalton played pretty well last night. He had one bad,
Speaker 1: one really bad throw in the red zone where they
Speaker 1: lost four points out of it. He forced it in there.
Speaker 1: One of the pick six is was a drop right.
Speaker 1: It was perfect past that was just dropped wide open.
Speaker 1: The other pick the other one he got hit as
Speaker 1: he throw as he threw, which you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: be aware of the pressure. But he got hit as
Speaker 1: he throw and the other guy makes an insane one
Speaker 1: handed catch. And whether a ball is returned on a
Speaker 1: like for an interception or not is just completely luck.
Speaker 1: Whether a guy makes like a one handed catch is
Speaker 1: completely lucked. And he threw it well. Basically for the
Speaker 1: rest of the night, they moved the ball. They had
Speaker 1: five yards. My point is more that quarterback was great,
Speaker 1: Greg He was absolutely stunning to to observe that. Just
Speaker 1: stick with for real, the which part of that argument
Speaker 1: do you disagree with? Just over his career is gonna
Speaker 1: cost you. He's gonna cost you. Point there. They were
Speaker 1: missing there, What the to their top four cornerbacks in
Speaker 1: this game? They missed seven starters And Dennis Allen afterwards
Speaker 1: had such a bad quote saying like, what's your biggest
Speaker 1: concern for this team? And he was just like, well,
Speaker 1: just that my players aren't healthy. And it's just like,
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen, to me as a head coach, is just uninspiring.
Speaker 1: They're so sloppy. You mentioned the penalties and the turnovers
Speaker 1: and the excuses any and he's right, like they are
Speaker 1: one of the most devastatedly injured teams, and it is
Speaker 1: worth mentioning they also lost Bradley Roby in that game.
Speaker 1: They were down their top two wide receivers, in their
Speaker 1: top three cornerbacks, and a couple other starters like that,
Speaker 1: that is significant. But Allen's reasons and like even after
Speaker 1: halftime they asked, all right, what what did Anny Dalton
Speaker 1: need to do different? And I and I know, I
Speaker 1: just you know, it's said how two of those were
Speaker 1: basically just bad luck. One what has not on him
Speaker 1: at all and the other one happens uh. And he
Speaker 1: was just like, Oh, he doesn't have to do anything different,
Speaker 1: just just keep doing the same thing. Listen. That was
Speaker 1: always a thing with Dennis Allen. This was something that
Speaker 1: I feel like was overlooked consistently this summer that Allen
Speaker 1: would be a huge downgrade from Sean Payton. I think
Speaker 1: you're seeing that in both the discipline of the team
Speaker 1: and the bottom line record. I I don't feel like
Speaker 1: going back and forth with you on this one, Greg,
Speaker 1: but I don't know why you're making excuses for Dalton here.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he threw dime after dime. The reason
Speaker 1: he was through some beautiful passes he do an end
Speaker 1: zone interception. The Isaiah Simmons play was a great play
Speaker 1: by a former first round pick. But also that ball
Speaker 1: was fired right in the orbit of a lindbacker in
Speaker 1: the middle. He was like hit in the side as
Speaker 1: he was throwing it, So you have to admit there's
Speaker 1: some a lot of luck going on it. But I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know to use your logic. If Sam Donald
Speaker 1: does the same thing, you're not making excuses for Sam
Speaker 1: Donald would not have thrown like three and four touchdowns
Speaker 1: and like graded very well. I'm just saying, like Dalton,
Speaker 1: he graded well, Okay, now this is adding up. He
Speaker 1: graded one. I think we need to appreciate quarterbacks. Everything's fine.
Speaker 1: I think we need to appreciate more of like the
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston's that throw like Hella touchdowns and Hella picks,
Speaker 1: because if you were not invested in those teams, that's
Speaker 1: fun football, both of those picks. Last night we were
Speaker 1: screaming about all of the touchdowns. We were screaming about
Speaker 1: unless you're boring and like defense, which I feel like
Speaker 1: is I don't know Mark's vibe. I like this kind
Speaker 1: it is chaotic, it's exciting, and I want to watch
Speaker 1: more of it. You know what I noticed on this
Speaker 1: show a couple of times when Rachel's appeared, it was like,
Speaker 1: if you get caught, if you get into a jam,
Speaker 1: just send a flaming arrow into Mark's head. That's how
Speaker 1: you get out of the corner. It's like, that's gonna
Speaker 1: not that's gonna stop working. At some point, Rachel on
Speaker 1: the sixth floor of the Texas book that I believe
Speaker 1: it is. She's not. She's not stacking school books either.
Speaker 1: I can tell you kind of Dan and I's move
Speaker 1: over the years too, So it's like to be a
Speaker 1: co host. I just slipped right in. Um, all right,
Speaker 1: any other thoughts on the game? M D. D. Hop
Speaker 1: does make like the entire difference like that. I don't
Speaker 1: think there was anything different in this Cardinals offense other
Speaker 1: than DeAndre Hopkins was there. That was it. And I
Speaker 1: think Kyler's willingness to run the last two weeks. He
Speaker 1: picked up some really key first downs early in the
Speaker 1: game because he's willing to run again and that's what
Speaker 1: kept them in it early. But there was really nothing different.
Speaker 1: It's just like, oh, you got new cop comes back
Speaker 1: in that like totally changes your offense, which is when
Speaker 1: do we get the hard Knocks out because I am
Speaker 1: launching the CRAPU November eight or something like, oh god,
Speaker 1: they're sneaking a perfect team for this. I am perfect
Speaker 1: and it's coming at the right time, like when they
Speaker 1: always start to fail there. I don't think that they'd
Speaker 1: be starting to film yet, but like we got this
Speaker 1: game on on episode that usually in season hard knocks
Speaker 1: isn't typically my jam. But if this season really did
Speaker 1: devolve into petty soap opera drama between the head coach
Speaker 1: and quarterback, I'm all in. If I'm if I'm like
Speaker 1: part of the Cardinals though, I'm panicking, but they're like,
Speaker 1: we agreed to this because we thought we were going
Speaker 1: to be good and d hops coming back and everything's
Speaker 1: like all hunky dory and it's not. I'm panicking. I'm
Speaker 1: calling Mr Hbo himself and asking, can we, you know,
Speaker 1: do this? Who? Who is Mr Hbo? Do we know?
Speaker 1: I think it's where you're calling their team owner, who's
Speaker 1: always just like, oh, yeah, sure, we'll do it. How
Speaker 1: many different card knocks and all or nothing? Sly? Then
Speaker 1: Oh it's that time on the Friday Fun show working
Speaker 1: title where one human gets the floor and this week
Speaker 1: it's Mark Sesler. It's about me. I uh, this is
Speaker 1: my time to make it about me, but I am
Speaker 1: going to make it a little bit about um everyone.
Speaker 1: Uh it is Uh. This week I did a QB
Speaker 1: index that essentially just had a high coup for all
Speaker 1: thirty two starting quarterbacks. Um, but I wanted to It
Speaker 1: was a good hook. I mean, I'm not sure the
Speaker 1: editors agreed with that, but um, apparently some readers potentially did.
Speaker 1: I want to expand that out to make some high
Speaker 1: coups about some of the people old that star on
Speaker 1: this show. Um, and so here we go. Wait before
Speaker 1: you do that, Yeah, we're there. Actually was there actual
Speaker 1: pushback from the edit desk. I don't rather not dig
Speaker 1: too deep into that, but there was there were I
Speaker 1: think there was some hesitation about what might be the
Speaker 1: final products might look like. We also had a couple
Speaker 1: of podcasts exclusive Dan because there were high coups too
Speaker 1: hot for NFL dot Com that we just read on
Speaker 1: the podcast. Some had to be re reworked. Let's put
Speaker 1: it that way. Probably true of these as well. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with a high coup for for Dan. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna put these up on screen, mealing down to
Speaker 1: pull a stray leaf from his swimming pool, old tugboat tugs.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I want to keep that, Benige, because if
Speaker 1: I lose Dan early in this, we're gonna be in
Speaker 1: hot water. So I just wanted to keep that. That's
Speaker 1: sort of the nice side to Dan. He's home in
Speaker 1: his house. Let's go to Greg. Don't don't forget those
Speaker 1: line breaks we heard from the listener. You know, well
Speaker 1: they can read it on screen here too, but I
Speaker 1: will Gregg Rose and Dolls hit the trifecta at Belmont
Speaker 1: well dressed up in women's tennis gear. Beautiful. I like that,
Speaker 1: and I do love a nice women's tennis hoodie and
Speaker 1: the tub. That's right, um, grave digger, it wouldn't be
Speaker 1: so fun to be a real grave digger. Dead bods
Speaker 1: in hot June's all right now. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: like in the maybe like you're just tossing in an
Speaker 1: old corpse, but usually they're sealed in a cat. But
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, not everyone can afford a like
Speaker 1: a four thousand dollar casket. I would imagine, right, some
Speaker 1: people are just put an old mom in the backyard.
Speaker 1: You know exactly now we're going to do we got
Speaker 1: We got Rachel because she's our guest today. So we
Speaker 1: have one for Rachel scared, a new sun Rises, a
Speaker 1: new me, smoking tree with Mooch before game day? Do
Speaker 1: you do drugs with Steve Mariuchi? I don't smoke trees
Speaker 1: with Sea may Well, not yet. In our last one.
Speaker 1: This is for Grave Diggers um side piece Yessica, who
Speaker 1: who wa It's not a side piece. She literally came
Speaker 1: to live together. Alright, his his live in mate, Yessica
Speaker 1: from the East. I hail poor Justin has no clue.
Speaker 1: I'm Russian mafia. All right, that's it. I'm into that.
Speaker 1: M very good. Yeah, Mark's long term plan to break
Speaker 1: up Yessica and Justin adds another element. We Yeah, we
Speaker 1: see the guys in season hard Knocks. I'm interested in
Speaker 1: following this storyline. That's not we see. We see the
Speaker 1: long game him, You're playing with Jessica and we don't
Speaker 1: approve of it. We've really develop relationship with Justin. He's
Speaker 1: a great producer, and you have to understand there's a
Speaker 1: responsibility that comes with your role to get involved and
Speaker 1: set the marginalize their relationship for starters, it's just the
Speaker 1: red flag subscribe. I mean I would I would suggest that, um,
Speaker 1: you re route that. That the whole theory there. If anything,
Speaker 1: Justin had a chance to knock that down, he willingly
Speaker 1: published it because I think, if anything, the two of
Speaker 1: them enjoy as much attention as they can possibly get.
Speaker 1: You know, I do love you know what's going to happen, Grave,
Speaker 1: They're suspiciously silent right now. They do curl up on
Speaker 1: like a Friday night after the Friday Fun Show, after
Speaker 1: everything's been put to bed and they're they're planting their
Speaker 1: own trees, they go and sit in front of the
Speaker 1: fireplace and they'll listen to this show and just like
Speaker 1: look at each other and give a little like knowing
Speaker 1: smirks and like snuggle in front of a hot fire.
Speaker 1: That accurate answer for yourself, Grave Digger, we need you here.
Speaker 1: Accurate you have a fireplace? Okay, brag um, all right,
Speaker 1: good job, Mark, you nailed it. Uh. Let's check back
Speaker 1: in with the listeners slash viewers on the Friday Fun Show.
Speaker 1: Working title Mika Lebano Miko Lebano over here. Would you
Speaker 1: rather be a packers or Broncos fan over the next
Speaker 1: ten years. Oh wow, that's a big one. Um Packers
Speaker 1: history fun go to Lambeau. But it's tough. It's a toughie.
Speaker 1: You're making a face, Rachel. Yeah, well, I guess I
Speaker 1: just don't know. I feel like the Packers future is
Speaker 1: more unclear than the Broncos. I guess. I mean, how
Speaker 1: many more years is Aaron Rodgers have? Maybe that's a
Speaker 1: good thing. I don't know. If I like the clarity
Speaker 1: that is Russell Wilson guarant seed money the next three
Speaker 1: or four years. I go Packers just because yet you
Speaker 1: mentioned Lambeau, but also the history, Like there's this idea
Speaker 1: that the Broncos are this like super well run organization.
Speaker 1: But they've had their ups, they've had their downs. It's
Speaker 1: a new ownership you have to deal with that. It
Speaker 1: could be coaches, g M. The Packers always seem like
Speaker 1: they know what they're doing. They'll find a way. I'm
Speaker 1: going hard head in London and those things really retain
Speaker 1: like sweat. It was soaking wet and I can't I
Speaker 1: can't go back to that. So you're saying Sauce Gardner
Speaker 1: might have like caught some disease and then he kind
Speaker 1: of like started to like calm down and look around.
Speaker 1: And I think that that was the moment that he
Speaker 1: was like, this is soaked, and I was coming from
Speaker 1: a sweaty man. What else do we do? Ronald Bodenham,
Speaker 1: Roland Rolandingham favorite Bonetta impression, Cooper Cup or Mike McDaniel Napoleon.
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel was just lay aired. I had so many influences,
Speaker 1: Napoleon Dynamite being one of them, Mark Sessler being another.
Speaker 1: I think you like McDaniel Mike McDaniel. Now, when I
Speaker 1: watched him talk, I just kind of hear him as
Speaker 1: Napoleon Dynamite and there's a lot in there. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go I couldn't believe that nobody else saw that before.
Speaker 1: That's just you opened our eyes. That's your skill, that's
Speaker 1: your talent, because I just think that was more like
Speaker 1: the method and you it was like you had studied
Speaker 1: the essence of Cooper Cup and gotten every inflection. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of a fun twang to him,
Speaker 1: and he's got all the facial hair and a right one.
Speaker 1: More Zach cl with all these jets wins, how come
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from Keith at all. Well last week.
Speaker 1: Today's Keith's birthday, actually happy birthday. So my old man
Speaker 1: um has been busy hung out with his his brother
Speaker 1: ed uncle ed less Sunday and watch the Giants game.
Speaker 1: Uncle has a big Giant's and so he had DVR
Speaker 1: the Jets game, so he wasn't able to give any
Speaker 1: reaction to the Green Bay game in real time. So Dad,

Speaker 1: like that. I like that? All right, Papa, Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: see you in a little bit, all right. Same hair,
Speaker 1: exact same hair that my dad he only wears free
Speaker 1: merch from the NFL. Now that's exclusively my dad's wardrobe. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, So there you go, a little drop in
Speaker 1: from Keys. So there he is. You're making your dad
Speaker 1: do yard work on his birthday. Why why couldn't you
Speaker 1: have said? Let me absolutely would have and I always
Speaker 1: do when I come home, take care of the lawn.
Speaker 1: But I was preparing for this show, being a pro.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately my dad retired. You know, he has more time
Speaker 1: than I do. Right now, you know nothing, let's move
Speaker 1: to Oh I always love this part of the show.
Speaker 1: It is time now for the Greg Rosenthal Week seven
Speaker 1: Injury Minute, presented by Acrasshure. A milkshake for old Lady Bones.
Speaker 1: Uh p, J Walker's back. Sorry he's starting for the
Speaker 1: Panthers again. No Donald or Mayfield this week. Mark Andrews
Speaker 1: returned to practice. Bad news for Mark Sessler's brown so
Speaker 1: it looks like he will play Denzel Ward will not
Speaker 1: play for the Browns. Neither were Wired teller. Jadavian Clowney
Speaker 1: did return to practice and looks like he probably will play.
Speaker 1: J K. Dobbins will be out for the Ravens. On
Speaker 1: the other hand, Kenny Picketts looks like he's starting. That's
Speaker 1: not announced at quarterback, but he's cleared the concussion protocol.
Speaker 1: So as Pat Friar muth Logan Wilson, the good Bengals
Speaker 1: linebacker is out. Shack Leonard will not return for the
Speaker 1: Colts this week, which is bad news. Jonathan Taylor will play.
Speaker 1: Kristen Watson is out another week for the Packers. We'll
Speaker 1: see if Sammy Watkins plays. He might come on come
Speaker 1: off I R for that game. And that was the
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal injury minute presented by Akrasher. What is it
Speaker 1: again for old Lady bone? Nobody, nobody knows for sure?
Speaker 1: Um all right, time now before we say goodbye Week
Speaker 1: seven predictions, let's go over the Week six predictions. First,
Speaker 1: Mark non QB will score five t d s. Also
Speaker 1: separate wager Titans players or prediction get into a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of trouble over bye week. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: double x I believe. Yeah, there's no evidence of the
Speaker 1: Titans players getting in trouble. We don't know for sure,
Speaker 1: but nothing to suggest. And he gets over two and
Speaker 1: moving right along from double X to triple X. My
Speaker 1: prediction was that Mark celebrates in a unique Cecelarian way
Speaker 1: for his his birthday. And UM, you know, we don't
Speaker 1: have confirmation on this, but I got a feeling Mark
Speaker 1: at a good time last weekend. I'd give you at
Speaker 1: least half a win on that. Um, if not a
Speaker 1: full win, I'll take the full win. Okay, thanks, you
Speaker 1: left it open, I'll take it. Greg. The Eagles d
Speaker 1: ends the Cooper Rush hype with two turnovers. I got it? Uh,
Speaker 1: did you, though? I said to more. Cooper Rush turns
Speaker 1: the ball over twice and the hype train ends. The
Speaker 1: Eagles defense ends it with a thud with a couple
Speaker 1: of turns. We gotta give you the X because he
Speaker 1: turned it over three times. Sorrybody, I mean I think
Speaker 1: anyone listening can know where where to get their accurate
Speaker 1: predictions from M. Mark. Go ahead, Mark, you decide on
Speaker 1: that one. Is that an X or a check marks? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Big time? All right? And finally, Clay bound said the
Speaker 1: Browns win and Chubb has three t d s, and
Speaker 1: we know right now with the Browns that ain't happen
Speaker 1: all right, now, on to the week seven predictions. You
Speaker 1: want to get us going on this one, Vanetta, m
Speaker 1: my week seven bold prediction. The first one would be
Speaker 1: if I threw a party and invited all three of
Speaker 1: you guys, none of you would show up. That's my
Speaker 1: first I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding, Rachel. You know,
Speaker 1: the as a family man on the other side of
Speaker 1: the city, that was a big ask, and I made
Speaker 1: that clear to you. It's fine, Michael, Irvan showed up,
Speaker 1: but I went out. I was literally out of town.
Speaker 1: So I think will continue to invite you guys to things.
Speaker 1: And it's okay if you guys don't know what Mark
Speaker 1: was doing. But I was in San Diego. I mean
Speaker 1: that was like, that is unnecessary, Like to just the
Speaker 1: way Greg operates in general is unnecessary. Rachel. She just
Speaker 1: wanted to happy birthday to you as well. Rachel. Thank you,
Speaker 1: my my week seven bold prediction. Maybe this is a
Speaker 1: little bit lame, but I know that going into this week,
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, these games. I actually think this is
Speaker 1: going to be one of the more exciting weekends. And
Speaker 1: I was saying this even before Christian McCaffrey joined the
Speaker 1: forty Niners. We got chea forty Niners, which is interesting.
Speaker 1: Chargers Seahawks I find interesting. The Seahawks have been putting
Speaker 1: up points. Their defense is awful. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: going to be a spling fest. Colts Titans shout out Graver.
Speaker 1: I feel like that might be fun. Uh And I
Speaker 1: think that next week we're gonna be like we're Nins.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Chick, you love Jimmy, that's your team. Those are
Speaker 1: my predictions. This week is gonna be good. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be fun, alright, Greg, Yeah, it was as if Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton heard a message from the league office increased points
Speaker 1: and he's just a good company man, and that's what
Speaker 1: he did. It's coming week seven. My prediction is that
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick will break out a play or a move
Speaker 1: something directly inspired by George Hallis in this win over
Speaker 1: the Bears. Most likely it'll be like running a T
Speaker 1: formation like the nineteen thirties offense that George Hallis broke
Speaker 1: out to help change the NFL. But he'll do something
Speaker 1: as a historical nod to George Hallis during this game
Speaker 1: as he passes in because that's just the type of
Speaker 1: guy that And you know what, when it's thirty to
Speaker 1: six in the third quarter, he'll have, you know, some
Speaker 1: wiggle room to play with on that right. It's like
Speaker 1: that drop quick kick he had Doug Flutie do uh
Speaker 1: in Doug Flutie's last game. I believe it was like
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. He'll do something fun. How about you? Mark?
Speaker 1: All Right, it's a two parter um both both of
Speaker 1: these things have happened. Well, because I am telling you
Speaker 1: the I'm I have two visions, two locks. These are
Speaker 1: absolute locks. Both of things things have occurred in NFL history.
Speaker 1: We were at a game where this occurred. Um A,
Speaker 1: a wide ranging power outage occurs at one NFL stadium
Speaker 1: and causes a massive disruption delay slash delay. All Right,
Speaker 1: we solved the Super Bowl. Can happen again? Number part
Speaker 1: B or number two? Um A player is involved in
Speaker 1: a major mishap involving the team bus that again causes
Speaker 1: UM like issues where like will player X be there
Speaker 1: by kickoff? Like he gets run over by the bus? No,
Speaker 1: I would say more like there was I think was
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson like a decade plus ago, like missed the
Speaker 1: team bus and they were unsure if you'd get there
Speaker 1: by kickoff, and it caused all these like pregame you know,
Speaker 1: issues and consternation. So something of that nature I guarantee
Speaker 1: will will occur. But why do you want, um chaos
Speaker 1: and pain and these things to happen. Why do you
Speaker 1: want to root for? Why is that always what comes up?
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone is getting There's no pain, no
Speaker 1: one's getting hurt here, Like a power outage could be
Speaker 1: be peaceful. Um it was at the super Bowl and
Speaker 1: the player just simply there's a mishap involving the bust
Speaker 1: me that question, Greg, Like Alfred said in the Dark Night,
Speaker 1: some people just won't to watch the world burn. My
Speaker 1: prediction is and Rachel is already hinting at it, although
Speaker 1: I did not know what athletic wear she would have
Speaker 1: on today. Um, Rachel on bab Bench with Banetta, her
Speaker 1: podcast which everybody should check out, has been searching for
Speaker 1: a new team. She settled on the Chargers, and I
Speaker 1: stressed settled and I told her after I pitched the
Speaker 1: Jets to her an April, you gotta give the Jets
Speaker 1: a look. They are the team to get behind. They
Speaker 1: are building a new core. There's a lot of excitement.
Speaker 1: This could be the team. She laughed at me. She
Speaker 1: eliminated the Jets in August, and I told Rachel on
Speaker 1: her show this week and a message, no hard feelings.
Speaker 1: The doors still open. And after the Jets pants the
Speaker 1: Broncos on predicting, Rachel on her podcast this week's She
Speaker 1: she does it. She announces that the Jets are a
Speaker 1: new favorite. Wow, so she you're predicting. She announces her
Speaker 1: Jets fandomb even bolder than a mishap on a bus.
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you at all worried? Dan Elijah Moore,
Speaker 1: who's now going to be inactive for this game because
Speaker 1: he requested a trade, is the is the thing that
Speaker 1: turns this into a Jets season? Um, you can stop
Speaker 1: with that negative energy Patriots fan. But I'm not happy
Speaker 1: with the situation. I have to tell you, like Elijah
Speaker 1: Moore has got to pipe down a little bit there.
Speaker 1: It's everything's going well for the team and they're still
Speaker 1: transitioning with Wilson after all the issues like waited out,
Speaker 1: um and and kind of be a pro. But I
Speaker 1: understand the frustration, but I don't like that it's come
Speaker 1: to this in a trade demand for a second year player.
Speaker 1: Hopefully cooler heads prevail. And I like at this point
Speaker 1: the way the Jets have handled it, which is they
Speaker 1: sent him home. They said, you're not playing this week,
Speaker 1: but we don't want to trade you, and we're not
Speaker 1: going to trade you. And I hope cooler heads prevailed.
Speaker 1: But no, Greg, I didn't like that. That's been It
Speaker 1: could be. It could be a big Keith Hands this
Speaker 1: weekend because Denzel Mims steps in for the well, that
Speaker 1: would be a big Bob Bates d D. That's right,
Speaker 1: Bear man Um, all right, good stuff, Rachel, you've said
Speaker 1: it all. I had that Frank Sinatra poster in my
Speaker 1: apartment in Hoboken, New Jersey, back in the mid offs.
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful one. He looks still in that photo.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest here, he really does he really does?
Speaker 1: Anything you want to say, Rache? Before are we say goodbye? Um?
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is not that interesting? WHOA the trailer thing
Speaker 1: they showed during Thursday night football sum that was such
Speaker 1: a letdown? What even was that? It was not what
Speaker 1: I was? What a bomb? From Vanetta Bombetta. I heartily disagree,
Speaker 1: and I'd love to maybe come on your podcast to
Speaker 1: discuss it. I am Are you going to listen to
Speaker 1: the album? Is it come? Did it come out last night?
Speaker 1: To come on today? It came out at midnight? Rage
Speaker 1: it's called midnight. What were you and Keith up at
Speaker 1: midnight listening to it? Yeah? You know it sitting in
Speaker 1: front of the fire like grave Digger and uh and yessica. Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, that's enough. We've had our fun and now
Speaker 1: the fund has ended. Everyone, So a great weekend, Rachel.
Speaker 1: Please throw another party when the season's over, and I
Speaker 1: promised I'll be either lucky. And thank you everybody for
Speaker 1: watching along and listening and enjoy the football and Sunday
Speaker 1: Monday and we'll see you come the Flagship show head
Speaker 1: the Call
