Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another edition of The Friday Fun Show.
Speaker 1: It's a working title on Dan Hansas. This is your
Speaker 1: week nine guide to everything that's happening in our league.
Speaker 1: I got some heroes here, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler, and
Speaker 1: back Rachel Buna. Uh what's up gang? Hey guys, thanks
Speaker 1: for having me back. I had to get rid of
Speaker 1: the banks. I died them. I know, I probably people
Speaker 1: don't care, but I feel like I needed to update
Speaker 1: everyone I didched the banks. It's also why you should
Speaker 1: be watching us on YouTube. That way you can leave
Speaker 1: a comment and you can see Rachel moving to the
Speaker 1: beach as this as the show starts, you know, like
Speaker 1: the the cliche like, oh yeah, he got sent to prison,
Speaker 1: but it was a country club prison where they played tennis.
Speaker 1: Mark now has the expert Sure microphone in his jail cell,
Speaker 1: so it suggests that he's in a country club prison
Speaker 1: of sorts, which is not a terrible way to write
Speaker 1: out your sentence. Now, I think, actually like prison would
Speaker 1: suit me because it's like, what do you do? You
Speaker 1: probably lift weights and read books all day long and
Speaker 1: like eat simple foods. I I could get down with
Speaker 1: that situation. I sometimes think about this, like when Orange
Speaker 1: Is the New Black was like a very popular show.
Speaker 1: I thought, could I do this? And like, I think
Speaker 1: I would just have to throw myself into like a
Speaker 1: new skill or like just becoming incredibly smart. I think
Speaker 1: I could do it. It's it's not for every personality type.
Speaker 1: I don't see Dan as a as a happy prisoner,
Speaker 1: but um, others perhaps roll right into it. Congratulations, you
Speaker 1: would be a happy prisoner. Now. I like freedom, That's
Speaker 1: where I'm at. But I understand the general take there
Speaker 1: that it would narrow um distractions, as it were, and
Speaker 1: force you to focus on things. Otherwise, you know, your
Speaker 1: mind would be too cluttered. I think I get that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you might. I wouldn't depend on what prison
Speaker 1: you you went to. You might have other distractions. Mark
Speaker 1: would absolutely be the guy who like commits a crime
Speaker 1: a week before he sets to get out because he
Speaker 1: wants to stay. He's just at home there, he's oh,
Speaker 1: he just like he's really taken to the food. You
Speaker 1: don't understand the outside. That's the real prison man. Um.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up on today's show, Yes, this is
Speaker 1: the primer for week nine. Kind of um, we will
Speaker 1: have a fearless prediction to come. For Sunday and Monday,
Speaker 1: we will also um have a standalone monologue presented by
Speaker 1: none other than Greg Rosenthal, who has a lot. He
Speaker 1: has a lot to um live up to after his
Speaker 1: instantly iconic pickleball takedown of last month. So that's coming up.
Speaker 1: But the four we get to any of those things.
Speaker 1: Let's uh take care of the business of the first
Speaker 1: game of week nine, Thursday Night football got double tight
Speaker 1: end there saw Purts kids it off though he hasn't
Speaker 1: he fights, he throws to let's cover sure it's fine enough,
Speaker 1: highlight and then not suits the game. I feel like
Speaker 1: grand slam Merril Reese with it called w I P.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a thing of beauty, but the Eagles didn't
Speaker 1: need to author a thing of beauty. On Thursday Night,
Speaker 1: taking care of the Texans twenty nine seventeen in Houston,
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts two more touchdowns, including that electrifying score to
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard Um Eagles roll up a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: three on the ground. They gotta a very early deficit
Speaker 1: and generally Mark Sessler take care of business. There are
Speaker 1: gonna be games like this where you don't play your best,
Speaker 1: but when you're this good, you could still win and cover,
Speaker 1: as Al Michael's will tell you. Yeah, I thought, if
Speaker 1: if anything it was, it was exactly that. Like they
Speaker 1: kind of showed like we don't need to play our
Speaker 1: A plus game and we can maybe win a game
Speaker 1: without employing all our stars too high heavens like a J.
Speaker 1: Brown of the touchdown catch and another big catch, but
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith was almost invisible in this and they opened
Speaker 1: the game with that eight team play. I love this
Speaker 1: opening drives an eight team play, nine one yard march
Speaker 1: that went eight plus minutes and like Jack Stole had
Speaker 1: the biggest gain on the thing. It's like they can
Speaker 1: use all these different people and I think that, like
Speaker 1: it's another reminder for me that Nick Sirianni continues to
Speaker 1: fly under the radar as this coach that we kept
Speaker 1: talking about. It was, it's like a reverse fortunes. Like
Speaker 1: what happened to the Eagles offense a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: Well Frank Reich left and they were never the same. Well,
Speaker 1: now what happened to the Colts offense, Well, Nick Sirianni
Speaker 1: left and went to Philadelphia and they've never been the same.
Speaker 1: So I just look at I look at what the
Speaker 1: Eagles were able to do week to week and their
Speaker 1: defense too. I mean, they're just they're find they find
Speaker 1: different ways to win. I don't see a weakness on
Speaker 1: the team. I like, I'm not remotely concerned about what
Speaker 1: was going on here. They moved the ball that there
Speaker 1: was only three drives for each team in the first half.
Speaker 1: Essentially this was a Sessler fever dream. The game ended
Speaker 1: an eight oh five Pacific that's two hours and fifty
Speaker 1: minutes for this game. I mean, this was like long
Speaker 1: drives and everyone was done so you could just switch
Speaker 1: to the World Series. I feel bad because, like Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts and Jason Kelsey apparently had a really great moment
Speaker 1: on the Amazon set after Yeah, where they're singing the
Speaker 1: fight song. It's like nobody watched that live. I guess
Speaker 1: that's the purpose of social media. You can see it
Speaker 1: later because by then it was like a Thanning and
Speaker 1: Phillies fans are biting their nails. I just feel like
Speaker 1: at this point, if I was an Eagles fan, also
Speaker 1: shout out to my favorite one. If I was an
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, I just want the Eagles to lose one,
Speaker 1: like I feel like that there there's so much pressure
Speaker 1: that is mounting to continue you to be absolutely perfect,
Speaker 1: and I feel like going into this game. On my
Speaker 1: podcast we broke down the rest of their season, I
Speaker 1: was like, winnable, winnable, winnable, winnable, and then last night
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh, they look like a little
Speaker 1: a little human in some aspects. I feel like they
Speaker 1: just they should have just taken this, gotten that off
Speaker 1: their backs, gone on. This should not be the right one.
Speaker 1: We all know that the Eagles are better than the Texans.
Speaker 1: It's fine, there was no panic button. We're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they just needed to get that l out and then
Speaker 1: they can go on and they can go and win
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It's kind of a star take rage.
Speaker 1: But I also know what you're saying that maybe it
Speaker 1: will service some type of leveling or balancing, if you will.
Speaker 1: I don't know. UM. I think that they're a team that,
Speaker 1: like we talked about, leading into this game, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a while before it even feels like they're being challenged.
Speaker 1: And and Connie has talked about this was obviously a
Speaker 1: big Eagles fan that there's some concern that they'll get
Speaker 1: lulled into a false sense of security and then when
Speaker 1: a big matchup happens, they kind of get caught flat footed.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't worry about it. As long as Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: keeps playing at this level and all the pieces of
Speaker 1: this team are humming and they stay relatively healthy, They're
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I was actually kind of proud of
Speaker 1: the Texans a little bit. I hope the archer Brandon
Speaker 1: Cooks was watching this game and thinking to himself, I
Speaker 1: know they've done me dirty and they should have traded me.
Speaker 1: But look at these guys fighting out here, uh you know,
Speaker 1: getting out to the early lead, keeping things uh somewhat close,
Speaker 1: so that everyone wasn't flipping over to the other Philadelphia
Speaker 1: sports team playing in the World Series. And and Damian Pierce,
Speaker 1: you know, he's a great player. He had a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty nine yards in this game. So if you
Speaker 1: want to look at like maybe the Eagles run defense,
Speaker 1: they struggle especially after contact. This so one stat that
Speaker 1: they do not measure up well in terms of against
Speaker 1: physical runners. Maybe that's something for Grave Digger to think
Speaker 1: about come Super Bowl Sunday, Titans Eagles. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think they missed Davis too. I mean like that
Speaker 1: Jordan Davis would fill that spot against the run, and
Speaker 1: they were vulnerable last night. That's why I think when
Speaker 1: you play certain other teams, that's one thing to check out. Well.
Speaker 1: They have one of the worst run defenses in the
Speaker 1: league by almost any metric other than raw yards, because
Speaker 1: they're always ahead on paper, Like their e p a
Speaker 1: allowed per rush is terrible. Uh, you kind of saw
Speaker 1: it last night. That's how you beat them. But they've
Speaker 1: played with the lead so much that and when they've trailed,
Speaker 1: they've like caught up so quickly like against the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: that it's never really hurt them. But that that could
Speaker 1: be a little weakness like late, there were little moments there.
Speaker 1: Davis Mills played uh pretty well in this game, but
Speaker 1: it was like an until the interceptions at the end.
Speaker 1: But he made a lot of nice throws, Like I
Speaker 1: was like, this is the best game from one like
Speaker 1: draft pick at quarterback other than fields in the last
Speaker 1: month for a while. And then he threw those interceptions.
Speaker 1: But the this was an ultimate Prime Vision game. My
Speaker 1: son's very into the Prime Vision that shows the next
Speaker 1: gen stats and like the player's name bubble from the
Speaker 1: coaches film view, and so that's that's what we watch
Speaker 1: at the house. And when you watch the Eagles, every
Speaker 1: receiver's wide open, like Jalen Hurts in that eight ten
Speaker 1: play drive, like missed two wide open throws by like
Speaker 1: ten yards, and it didn't matter, like Tom Brady must
Speaker 1: be home watching Prime Vision and being like, give me
Speaker 1: one play where that many receivers are wide open, Like
Speaker 1: everyone's wide open. But we were watching um because the
Speaker 1: game felt of little consequence ultimately to me. The entire time,
Speaker 1: we were watching some of the Dude Perfect telecast on
Speaker 1: Amazon with the boys, and they particularly enjoyed the part
Speaker 1: of the game where no, just kidding. The only thing
Speaker 1: they cared about was they did a whole segment where
Speaker 1: they put a cookie on their like orbital bone and
Speaker 1: then try to like work it down into their mouth.
Speaker 1: That was That was what my kids took out of.
Speaker 1: Isn't Dax supposed to be doing one of the Dude
Speaker 1: Perfect ones? Did that? Lamb? I have bad? Like I
Speaker 1: tried to keep I just didn't. I wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure Walker did not know about that because I just
Speaker 1: felt like going into a wormhole of Dude Perfect for
Speaker 1: three years, and I mean, you're very controlling. It sounds
Speaker 1: about what content your child is absorbed. He's like eight
Speaker 1: years old and he's dealing with next gens stats. I
Speaker 1: mean that he's the one I try to get it back.
Speaker 1: And they're pretty wholesome dudes. It's not like they're not perfect,
Speaker 1: but the whole Should they change their names to wholesome dudes? Can?
Speaker 1: I can? I This is not a physical takedown of
Speaker 1: the man, because I don't believe in that necessarily, But
Speaker 1: I just want to ask the question about David's mills.
Speaker 1: Does he have a big neck or a small head
Speaker 1: or is it the situation where he has a big
Speaker 1: neck and a small head. M My guess is it's
Speaker 1: a big neck, normal head, long neck, normal head. It's
Speaker 1: not just a long neck, it's a it's a girthy neck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty thick. I hate. I mean, he's out there
Speaker 1: like with Philip Dorsett as his starting receiver and Chris
Speaker 1: Moore and Tyron Johnson. I give him some credit just
Speaker 1: for just for making it. I'm just saying, like Glennon's situation,
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a glen that he looks like
Speaker 1: his face almost doesn't fit onto his neck. It's almost
Speaker 1: like there's a like an in motion live photo shop
Speaker 1: going on a little bit with him. If I were him,
Speaker 1: I'd just be always wearing slimming turtleneckx Is that an
Speaker 1: option during an NFL game? Why not? Good? Why not
Speaker 1: be warm? Hold on? I have a I have a
Speaker 1: question for you guys. Uh, Greg, you mentioned that Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts and Jason Kelsey like lad this whole fly Eagles
Speaker 1: Fly song after the game. The fans are obviously so
Speaker 1: stoked that they're still in a few to date. No,
Speaker 1: but would you be that stoked if you almost lost
Speaker 1: to the Texans? Like I'd be like, cool, that was terrifying.
Speaker 1: What I mean, they didn't know. I'm just sorry I
Speaker 1: didn't lose. It was a very close game for a
Speaker 1: lot of the game, is what I meant to say.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I'm and they probably should
Speaker 1: have absolutely been smashing them the whole time. You got
Speaker 1: to enjoy the moment right now. I think That's where
Speaker 1: I'm at as a sports fan. You gotta enjoy it
Speaker 1: while last, you know, because it might not last. Rachel,
Speaker 1: you mentioned that the loss might be coming like like
Speaker 1: that they might only have one more night left of
Speaker 1: Philadelphia being on top of the sports world here if
Speaker 1: they lose the World Series. So it's like enjoy it,
Speaker 1: like he you know, the real, the real story. Marcus.
Speaker 1: I tried to change it to like the normal one,
Speaker 1: and he insists on that he loved the numbers and
Speaker 1: the time. It's like, daddy, Daddy, can I watch the
Speaker 1: alternate tellcast that's geared towards young boys? No, son, look
Speaker 1: at the data. Let it wash over you. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just not aware of dude perfect, so he wouldn't
Speaker 1: know he does he does, you know, openly despise the
Speaker 1: man in cast and uh won't won't want All right,
Speaker 1: let's pause right here and take a break. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back. Alright, great digger, where are you at? What's up? Hey, buddy? Um,
Speaker 1: before we get you, get to um some listener feedback
Speaker 1: on the live stream, which everybody that's on right now,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Justin is in a Yes, Justin
Speaker 1: is in a Justin is drunk in a hotel room
Speaker 1: right now, Um, somewhere in the middle of America. And UM,
Speaker 1: I have a take I want to share with you guys,
Speaker 1: And let me know if I'm off based on this,
Speaker 1: and Justin I know, I want to preface this by saying,
Speaker 1: this is not an attack on the people connected to
Speaker 1: the event that you're attending this weekend directly because I
Speaker 1: don't know them, and he said they don't listen to
Speaker 1: the show anyway, so we're clear. Um, Justin Graver Um
Speaker 1: is right now in a hotel room in Kansas where
Speaker 1: he is preparing to serve as the best man in
Speaker 1: a wedding ceremony, which is very nice and very cool. Again,
Speaker 1: we've had the conversation about Justin being a best man,
Speaker 1: and we got it to the debate about how long
Speaker 1: the speech should be, but it also is kind of
Speaker 1: a It's pretty cool and it shows Graver is a
Speaker 1: man of integrity that he's the best man in two
Speaker 1: weddings in the span of a few months. Now, that's
Speaker 1: not my point. My point is I was made aware
Speaker 1: yesterday by our producer that the Um couple involved here,
Speaker 1: the main couple UM, actually did get married in Hawaii
Speaker 1: earlier this year in a quote unquote impromptu fashion where
Speaker 1: they were on vacation and they decided to have a
Speaker 1: quick ceremony and they said we're married. Now here's my issue.
Speaker 1: Great Digger is the best man? Okay, why isn't the
Speaker 1: best man? Don't hit me with this. It was impromptu.
Speaker 1: You put Justin on a plane to Hawaii, not a
Speaker 1: plane to Kansas in November for oh ceremony. I have
Speaker 1: an issue with this entire setup that someone said it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, it's fair. It's very fairy, you know, young love?
Speaker 1: How do you how do you stop it from from
Speaker 1: carrying out? It's what a quote? Justin? Have you written?
Speaker 1: Is that all done? I wrote my speech on the plane.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little shorter than last time because
Speaker 1: last time I rehearsed it and it was four minutes
Speaker 1: in rehearsal and then it was actually seven minutes in life.
Speaker 1: So this time my rehearsal outside right, of course. Minutes
Speaker 1: is where you want to be at what hour this morning?
Speaker 1: And I'd like a specific time. Did you start drinking
Speaker 1: whiskey straight from a bottle? I have not drank anything
Speaker 1: today except for coffee because I'm a professional. And this
Speaker 1: is where can I tell you guys? Can I tell
Speaker 1: you guys a quick horror story from a wedding that
Speaker 1: I went to, Like the worst speech I've ever heard
Speaker 1: in my life. Okay, my cousin was getting married to
Speaker 1: this woman, let's call her Cindy. My uncle, unrelated unprompted,
Speaker 1: stood up and was like, I want to give a speech.
Speaker 1: And this uncle's a little chatty, so we were all like,
Speaker 1: this is gonna begein. So he gets up there. We
Speaker 1: have this family cottage that we would all go to
Speaker 1: every summer, and in the cottage there was a sauna
Speaker 1: in the boat house. I know that sounds bougie was
Speaker 1: literally made of tinfoil. Don't think it's bougie at all.
Speaker 1: And there was a window looking into the sauna. Okay,
Speaker 1: so apparently Cindy had her bachelorette party at the cottage.
Speaker 1: All the girls they're in the sauna that my uncle
Speaker 1: is telling this story about how he didn't know. He
Speaker 1: went downstairs, he saw them all in the sauna and
Speaker 1: he said, and Cindy, they were spectacular, meaning he was insinuating.
Speaker 1: But her balloons in the wind. Oh my god. The
Speaker 1: girls were in the bathroom crying all night. I was
Speaker 1: on the dance floor with my Cranberry mom coming like mommyam,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Don't don't do that. Don't do that, Okay, No,
Speaker 1: I'll give a speech when the time is right. I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone should ever speak at a wedding if
Speaker 1: they haven't been asked to speak. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get a wild card and they can be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Wait and so if it's not
Speaker 1: a wedding, though, it is confusing that you're the best man.
Speaker 1: I was at a similar setup where it was like
Speaker 1: a party where they got married, but only with like
Speaker 1: six people there their parents, and then they had a
Speaker 1: party and the party was, you know, in Malibu, so
Speaker 1: that's nice, but it wasn't in Hawaii, which is where
Speaker 1: their actual wedding was. And he did ask me to speak,
Speaker 1: but I was not the best Like, there was no
Speaker 1: best man. There was a couple of people. Because I
Speaker 1: at that point, it's not a it's not a wedding.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like you're getting the same. It's a party.
Speaker 1: So I am still going to stand up there during
Speaker 1: a ceremony hand the rings over. Okay, he didn't do
Speaker 1: a ceremony. They did like they did a ceremony in
Speaker 1: Hawaiian and they're doing it again. I actually have a
Speaker 1: joke about it in my speech that my cousin working
Speaker 1: out you're working out a runner during here? How's this?
Speaker 1: How's this for a joke? He cares about her so
Speaker 1: much he's marrying her twice. Oh boy, But don't say
Speaker 1: it that way. Okay. So it's about like, what do
Speaker 1: these people have a lot of um associate slash friends?
Speaker 1: I mean, I I trust that you've become a best
Speaker 1: man twice because you are that kind of the content
Speaker 1: is inside of you. But like, um, what kind of
Speaker 1: like balloon of friends? Do they have content? Why do
Speaker 1: you say balloon? Mark? What are you thinking about? I
Speaker 1: don't think Mark? Um? Yeah, No, they have lots of friends.
Speaker 1: Actually that might be why I was chosen because it's
Speaker 1: like for this wedding, I'm his cousin. So it's like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: one's gonna get upset with picking the cousin. All right,
Speaker 1: we gotta keep moving here. Do we have anything from
Speaker 1: the viewers on the live stream? Uh? That's worth of them?
Speaker 1: Is Mark still in prison? The Baker vacation that we
Speaker 1: covered at the top of the show, it's a country
Speaker 1: club where he's able to import an eight dollar mike
Speaker 1: so obviously has strong WiFi as well. So that's good.
Speaker 1: What else we got? Did everyone see how he yelling
Speaker 1: at the Eagles fans? I did see that life. Um
Speaker 1: it was Mark you you said it to us, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, you want to share this one? Well there there,
Speaker 1: I mean it was there was signage that someone had
Speaker 1: a sign about like we forgive you for all the
Speaker 1: bad draft picks or something, and he walked up and
Speaker 1: basically said, um, excuse me, you forgive me for bringing
Speaker 1: you like your first effing super Bowl. And you know
Speaker 1: how he wrote He's not a large man, but he
Speaker 1: was sort of he just grew inside as he said
Speaker 1: it to this like outcast fan and then just marched
Speaker 1: off and it was like, you know what, you also
Speaker 1: brought them Robert Quinn, C. J. Gardner Johnson this season
Speaker 1: he was five interceptions. I think he's doing a pretty
Speaker 1: good job. It's absolutely a ridiculous son. He also ended
Speaker 1: it with an fu directly to the fan, and he
Speaker 1: was he was smiling, joking about it, but also very
Speaker 1: clear that it kind of got under his skin and
Speaker 1: he kind of like kind of really gave it to
Speaker 1: the dude. Um, that's you know, I don't know Philly
Speaker 1: fans around my radar a little bit in general lately. Um,
Speaker 1: the amazing that your team would be eight no. Uh,
Speaker 1: And yes, he is the GM responsible for your first
Speaker 1: Super Bowl title a few years ago, and you would
Speaker 1: make a sign forgiving him for the couple of years
Speaker 1: where you were merely just a competitive team on the
Speaker 1: rise before you were undefeated. For come on, clean it up.
Speaker 1: This one is for Dan, although you might just want
Speaker 1: to direct them to the Power Rankings podcast if you
Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm sure right, Why are the four
Speaker 1: and four Bengals without Jamar Chase ranked higher than the
Speaker 1: six and two Giants? They are the Power Rankings, not
Speaker 1: the Power Standings. The Bengals drop five spots. I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge believer in the Giants is a superpower and
Speaker 1: I need to see Cincinnati again without Jamaar Chase before
Speaker 1: I dipped them into the middle of the league. Simple
Speaker 1: as that, we just miss somebody calling Marcus Zaddi. You
Speaker 1: don't want to give Marcus flowers and call that moment
Speaker 1: out Zadi. I mean we know that he's a zadd
Speaker 1: Is that a jail term. Dan has a very specific
Speaker 1: Zaddi guidelines, and I don't think that I fall into
Speaker 1: Dan's specific Zaddi Daddy. So I don't know if you
Speaker 1: want to be under his guidelines, you can be under mine.
Speaker 1: I think you're looking very zaddy today. I don't remember
Speaker 1: stand why anybody would have anything, anybody would judge anyone
Speaker 1: else's like zaddi um rules or judgments. I mean, just
Speaker 1: let everyone have their own Zaddi's. But wait, but guines,
Speaker 1: you can have your own guidelines. I'm not I'm suggesting that.
Speaker 1: I don't think when you look at me when we're
Speaker 1: in office, I don't think that what comes out of
Speaker 1: your head is that's a Zaddy over there sitting next
Speaker 1: to me in the cubicle farm. Are you sure? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I suspect that I don't know.
Speaker 1: You're right, I don't know. Blake Wingo, which NFC preseason
Speaker 1: favorite team is most likely to miss the playoffs? Ramsay,
Speaker 1: my lock's got to be right this week. But I'm
Speaker 1: going rams after they lose to the bus because they're not.
Speaker 1: They're not going to be saved by the NFC South.
Speaker 1: Did you see McVeigh was just like, I'm out once
Speaker 1: these like main guys are out, like I don't want
Speaker 1: to coach the same what a weird thing to say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he said it out loud,
Speaker 1: but yeah, there were sources for Albert Brier. There's some
Speaker 1: there's some weird energy like talking it's about me, but
Speaker 1: it's not about me. It's about Greg Rosatal. Yeah, you know, finally,
Speaker 1: um a chance to express my opinions about football into
Speaker 1: a microphone this week waiting, I'm gonna talk about um
Speaker 1: my cadence rankings because I brought up, uh what a
Speaker 1: surprisingly good cadence Sam Ellinger had on Thursday show, and
Speaker 1: the world just went crazy. My Twitter feed, I'm sure
Speaker 1: Reddit was on fire. People just wanted to know, like,
Speaker 1: what are your cadence rankings? Uh for two thousand in
Speaker 1: twenty two? Just like how how the quarterback sounds right
Speaker 1: before the snap as he's making a little call. First First,
Speaker 1: what you don't want with cadence. You don't want screechy
Speaker 1: um like Brady and Garoppolo. It's almost like they learned
Speaker 1: it from each other. They're they're both kind of screechy.
Speaker 1: You don't like that. You don't want it to be
Speaker 1: like too quick, like Zach Wilson sounds like kind of
Speaker 1: like a yapping dog. Uh, and then you also don't
Speaker 1: want it to be leading like some of the cadence
Speaker 1: is almost they're almost in like the form of a
Speaker 1: question at the end where that gets you know, you
Speaker 1: don't want that. You wanted to be authoritative, uh and strong.
Speaker 1: And that's why Derek Carr is my number five guy.
Speaker 1: I always find a very authoritative like I'm the boss,
Speaker 1: You're going to do what I'm going to say, a
Speaker 1: good like timber in his voice. I'm gonna put Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco at number four because he did start this year
Speaker 1: one of the all time greats, maybe not at his
Speaker 1: peak form, but like that base, just like echoes throughout
Speaker 1: the stadium. I think, one of the great cadences of
Speaker 1: all time. And uh, Lamar Jackson learned from him, and
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna put Lamar at number three because what
Speaker 1: Lamar has and maybe he got this from Fla. He
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like he actually talked. He growls. It doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like a normal voice, but it's deep. It's like
Speaker 1: a growl and you enjoy hearing it. Number two on
Speaker 1: the list, another long time favorite, Jacoby Brisset. Another great
Speaker 1: bass in his voice. You can hear it throughout the stadium.
Speaker 1: He was having fun the other night too against the
Speaker 1: Bengals too, like he's not afraid to get wacky and
Speaker 1: do some comedy. Was like fifty five, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: you Like that was great. It was just like, really,
Speaker 1: he's like the guy with the cane from Boys to
Speaker 1: Men's wonderful. Honestly, maybe he should be number one, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Aaron Rodgers his flowers. I just think
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, you remember it. It's full throated, it's iconic,
Speaker 1: Like the actual calls that he makes are iconic and
Speaker 1: you can hear it at the top of the stadium.
Speaker 1: And the fact that he's also an all time great
Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't help. But I think he's an all time
Speaker 1: great cadence guy at the line of scriment. So Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers still number one on my list. Wow, and you
Speaker 1: enjoyed that, thank you great cadence while he's yelling at
Speaker 1: his teammates as well. It's not about the personality, it's
Speaker 1: just as performance. Which hero would have the best cadence? Um,
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to pat myself
Speaker 1: on the back, but I inherited my dad's like father
Speaker 1: boys and I got a real growl, especially if you
Speaker 1: get me fired up. So I feel like I would
Speaker 1: really be able to get over a huddle. UM. I
Speaker 1: would love to hear everyone's though. That would be cool.
Speaker 1: I would I would vote for Dan. I think yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I mean I've gotten here Rachel. I think
Speaker 1: I'd be supportive and quirky. I think I'd keep it light.
Speaker 1: Let me let me try. People would enjoy I've been
Speaker 1: doing this um for like twenty years, like playing with
Speaker 1: my friends or sons. I'll the my wat'ch the mic
Speaker 1: what's the mic omaha? Like that okay receiver up the middle.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things I'm impressed with. Like with
Speaker 1: Jacobeaid was like, don't doesn't your voice get tired? At
Speaker 1: some point? I would be last than my cadience rankings.
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I hate listening to our
Speaker 1: podcast or watching uh any television shows. It would be
Speaker 1: that high pitched, screechy voice. Though you know, I'm sorry
Speaker 1: if I missed it, but did you mention Mahomes? Because
Speaker 1: Mahomes doesn't have your traditional QB speaking voice, and he signed,
Speaker 1: he signs sounds just fine. At Arrowhead. He does a
Speaker 1: good job changing it. He didn't crack my top five.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the guy on Twitter who's cadence guy?
Speaker 1: I mean on YouTube. There's a guy who just puts
Speaker 1: up people's cadences for a minute, and it really helped
Speaker 1: me do my homework for this year. What's Russ is like,
Speaker 1: I feel like kids would be weird, he would get
Speaker 1: weird with him. Inspirational just he's pretty good. He has
Speaker 1: a nice deep voice. He's goods all right. By the way,
Speaker 1: a man named Roland thought I sounded hot there. It
Speaker 1: is what it is, rather it be connected to bob
Speaker 1: bab balloons, but it is what it is. Um a
Speaker 1: boob balloons. I can honestly say I've never heard that one.
Speaker 1: But for alright, um, let's get to the Greg Rosenthal
Speaker 1: Week nine presented by Akrash your pitple cream for teams
Speaker 1: that does not work? Uh, Corey Davis, bad news for
Speaker 1: your Jets is out again. I guess good news for
Speaker 1: your jets if you're into other people getting hurt. Jordan
Speaker 1: Poyer is going to be out for the Bills. But
Speaker 1: Matt Mulano, my guy practice this week, looks like he
Speaker 1: will play Jarvis Landry has been back at practice this week.
Speaker 1: A little more on the Saints and in a second,
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard and Christian Watson on tracked to return for
Speaker 1: the Packers. Ryan tan Hill missed practice completely on Thursday
Speaker 1: after Grave Diggers swung and miss on tannehill status last
Speaker 1: week again might happen, we'll see. Jonathan Taylor missed all
Speaker 1: three practices this week. He's officially out, making your locks
Speaker 1: look even better for the Patriots. Johan Dotson's out this
Speaker 1: week again. Looks like Cam Akers is gonna be back.
Speaker 1: The Bengals lost another cornerback, Mike Hilton is out this
Speaker 1: week in addition to a Woozier and Apple that's bad news.
Speaker 1: Chase Young is still out, but he's getting closer. Cambray
Speaker 1: and Antoine Winfield are out for the Bucks. A J. Terrell,
Speaker 1: their best cornerback on the Falcons, out again, Cuba Harvard
Speaker 1: out for the Panthers, and Damen Harris looks like he's
Speaker 1: gonna be out again for the Patriots. And then finally
Speaker 1: we got some longer term injury news and I'll throw
Speaker 1: this to you guys. Rashad Bateman and Michael Thomas are
Speaker 1: both out for the season and this happened right after
Speaker 1: our Thursday podcast. What what a disaster for both of
Speaker 1: these teams. Starting I guess with Thomas is just like heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas thing was weird. Um, he got off to
Speaker 1: a great start this season, looked like Michael Thomas after
Speaker 1: missing basically two years with an ankle injury, and then
Speaker 1: it's a very kind of nebulos foot injury designation never
Speaker 1: goes on i R. And then after missing what six
Speaker 1: games or so seven games, Um announces that it's a
Speaker 1: toe injury that needs surgery and he's done for the year.
Speaker 1: So a real bummer. Greg. I'm interested in your thought
Speaker 1: on this, just because you had said do you think
Speaker 1: the Saints kind of didn't dirty? I was curious how
Speaker 1: you thought. I just wouldn't be surprised, Um, if more
Speaker 1: comes out here. You remember when Michael Thomas was upset
Speaker 1: with the Saints about the last set of surgeries. There's
Speaker 1: just talk in New Orleans that did they diagnose this correctly?
Speaker 1: From from the get go, he wasn't placed on injured reserve.
Speaker 1: Pretty very recently, Dennis Allen said he expected him back
Speaker 1: maybe that week. Then he goes out to practice. Reporters
Speaker 1: saw it he had his helmet on, and then they
Speaker 1: declared that he was out. Uh, even though they saw
Speaker 1: him at practice, it wasn't always announced as a toe
Speaker 1: injury before it was said as an ankle I. I
Speaker 1: my heart breaks for him because his career has been
Speaker 1: in trouble. But it just feels like there's a little
Speaker 1: more to the story that it wouldn't surprise me if
Speaker 1: some of our insiders end up diving into and Uh.
Speaker 1: It sucks because you kind of think this is probably
Speaker 1: it for him in New Orleans too, that is probably
Speaker 1: the end of his contract. And Rashad Bateman one, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a tough one for the Ravens and puts
Speaker 1: them in a very difficult position. Now, um Mark Andrews
Speaker 1: better be healthy. I mean, he's got a knee and
Speaker 1: shoulder issue. Um Lamark can do a lot, but he
Speaker 1: can't do at all. So tough situation there. You'd like
Speaker 1: to think the Ravens would have wished they would have
Speaker 1: known this a week ago when they could have gone
Speaker 1: and I mean they're gonna right, they knew he could
Speaker 1: hang up that front again out for the season. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not sure if that was so clear
Speaker 1: because it was a surprise to us. But um, they
Speaker 1: could have gone and swung a deal for someone because
Speaker 1: I think there's they already were so limited through the
Speaker 1: air and to take him out, I mean, he need
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays early in the season. It's
Speaker 1: just like there aren't that many options for Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: through the sky. What happens in prison? Mark when someone
Speaker 1: suffers an injury, like a Liz Frank type injury, that's
Speaker 1: scorpion Harlott is there? Do you do people feel for them?
Speaker 1: Do they get a little um, a little distance, or
Speaker 1: do they become weak and susceptible to being picked on
Speaker 1: in the hard scrabbles. Um, it's a trench and it's
Speaker 1: a trench and question by you, Dan, and I would
Speaker 1: say that, Um, in the in the prison that I'm at,
Speaker 1: everyone sort of just they gather around that person. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, emotionally, spiritually, it's a very it's a supportive environment.
Speaker 1: It's a supportive community, a brotherhood. You guys, I think
Speaker 1: this is a secret little thing. I think you do
Speaker 1: get her and then you got to go into a
Speaker 1: private little hospital wing of the jail and then you
Speaker 1: just get you know, feed up, baby, you're hanging. Maybe
Speaker 1: there's even a TV in there. I think that's actually
Speaker 1: the play, like the Greenwich, Connecticut Reform Dormitory. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to our fearless predictions before we say goodbye.
Speaker 1: But before we do that, let's cycle back to our
Speaker 1: predictions from last week, starting with great Digger. Jump in here,
Speaker 1: starting with uh Mark Sessler. Mark had some predictions last
Speaker 1: week that we're pretty crazy as usual, I think. Um.
Speaker 1: His first one was that there would be three forty
Speaker 1: burgers dropped. There was one forty burger, so pretty close, um,
Speaker 1: but not three. Falcon scored thirty seven points, Eagles score
Speaker 1: thirty five points, so a couple of teams close. But
Speaker 1: he had the Cowboys at forty. And then Mark had
Speaker 1: uh in any official faints. I'm not aware of any
Speaker 1: official fainting, although her own burger did call the Seahawks
Speaker 1: the Mariners, so maybe that was like a fainting spell
Speaker 1: that I think we don't give credit to Mark for
Speaker 1: either of those two. Greg said that mac Jones would
Speaker 1: be judged by a panel of Friday Fun Show hosts
Speaker 1: to have played pretty well in a win over the Jets,
Speaker 1: and Greg himself said on Thursday and Tuesday and other
Speaker 1: times this week that if that pick six had stood,
Speaker 1: we would be talking very differently about Mac Jones, So
Speaker 1: I would say he probably did not played pretty well
Speaker 1: Greg that I don't think we even need the panel
Speaker 1: of jeguts. That's an over five, but the win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Clay Bond had that the Giants score under twenty one
Speaker 1: points versus the Seahawks. The Giants did score under twenty
Speaker 1: one points Seahawks one. So a little bit of a
Speaker 1: Shallott hanger, but that's correct. And and and finally, the
Speaker 1: old zeuser would like to channel my distressed spirit animal
Speaker 1: um ALC. Baldwin from the medical thriller Malice before we
Speaker 1: get to my prediction from last week. You ask me
Speaker 1: if I have a God complex, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: I am God to a tonguea voloa prediction yards passing,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, win got them all, check mark check mark
Speaker 1: check mark profile encouraged picking against the team of around
Speaker 1: the NFL last ranked defense, Detroit Lions and Emmanuel Acco,
Speaker 1: the guy that went off about two of being better
Speaker 1: than Herbert. The prediction was, it's going to give more
Speaker 1: fuel to his fire and the people of his ilk
Speaker 1: which certainly has now before we go make our predictions, Rachel,
Speaker 1: get us going. I think that Aaron Rodgers is going
Speaker 1: to walk out with some stage. He's gonna light at
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. He's going to think that
Speaker 1: that's going to cleanse him of all the demons that
Speaker 1: this team is going through. It doesn't work. The Lions
Speaker 1: beat the bad guys and throws a fit, throws a
Speaker 1: dang thing the game, and I am going to be
Speaker 1: can't wait. So the prediction is Aaron Rodgers goes, you know,
Speaker 1: offense a temper tantrum after a loss or during a
Speaker 1: loss to the Lions. I love it. That's a good one,
Speaker 1: Marky Mark all right. Um, I collected a series of
Speaker 1: visions during the evening into morning hours, and number one
Speaker 1: the Titans. The Titans will beat the Chiefs by ten
Speaker 1: plus points. Um lock it up on that one too.
Speaker 1: Dan will turn full villain on Zach Wilson by Sunday
Speaker 1: at sundown full villain. Uh. Three Greg will eat cottage
Speaker 1: cheese at some point during the weekend. That is what
Speaker 1: I'm calling my sports lock of the weekend. And four
Speaker 1: um Bonetta will hike Runyon Canyon alone on Saturday morning
Speaker 1: and encounter Diego Luna, the title character from Disney Plus
Speaker 1: is critically acclaimed and Or series. It's a timely meeting
Speaker 1: because Diego's puppy, October Sparkles, has a fever. The small
Speaker 1: dog is panting and feeling lost to the animal world.
Speaker 1: Vanetta will save the dog and the day by providing
Speaker 1: SmartWater to October October Sparkles. Diego Luna will then return
Speaker 1: the favor by casting Vanetta in season two of and
Speaker 1: Or as a character named and She Nine, a fierce,
Speaker 1: freewheeling no code bounty hunter on a mission to eradicate
Speaker 1: a young Princess Leia from existence. So Greg, I don't
Speaker 1: think she's going to be appearing on game debut any
Speaker 1: anytime sooner. It was so insane that Rachel's screen just
Speaker 1: went to blasts that she's done with done with NFL content.
Speaker 1: Now that this is Rachel exploded with the rest of
Speaker 1: her home. It's a smart way to go out. I
Speaker 1: mean she's getting that Apple TV money or wherever that is.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why I didn't have
Speaker 1: Marco last. Rachel just texted computer died. I think Mark
Speaker 1: killed their computer. Um what's your prediction, Greg, I mean
Speaker 1: market needs to go last on all these I I
Speaker 1: do like cotta cheese, Mark, but it just hasn't it
Speaker 1: hasn't crossed my path. I would say maybe in years
Speaker 1: or months. It's been a horrible Rachel, you're back. You
Speaker 1: have not left the company already to go work for
Speaker 1: and or or what's going on. I actually wanted to
Speaker 1: get ahead story. I wanted to go to running in
Speaker 1: a SAP so I could go and save this little
Speaker 1: dog and be cast in this Disney plush show. I
Speaker 1: love that. Also, I'm gonna be in Germany, so there's
Speaker 1: no way that that can happen. Sorry, already got to
Speaker 1: give him an X, but that's not really the point. Um,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Greg, Okay. My prediction is the Falcons will
Speaker 1: rush for at least two hundred and seventeen yards this weekend,
Speaker 1: including a great performance by Tyler Algier. But Mark will
Speaker 1: still not have a response from the committee to determine
Speaker 1: if that's his guy. So Mark's actually not allowed to
Speaker 1: enjoy that. Tyler Algier outing utterly, utterly absurd, a clown show.
Speaker 1: I hate the processing of it all. It's because you
Speaker 1: wanted to be something that you to spur the moment
Speaker 1: and enjoy that moment, but it's just not there yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah finally, UM. Football Outsiders had this tweet this morning.
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Chargers ranks sixteen and total uh, offensive
Speaker 1: and defensive d B O A and UM. That makes
Speaker 1: them essentially the Dalton scale of teams in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They are just the prime meridian. And like I said
Speaker 1: on Thursday, without knowing this data from Football Outsiders, they
Speaker 1: make much more sense as a team that's five than
Speaker 1: one that's two games above. They will lose this weekend
Speaker 1: and match up with the Football Outsiders data. Sorry, Rache,
Speaker 1: I know they're your quote unquote team, but they're going
Speaker 1: down this weekend. They are exceedingly mediocre. Whoa dan hitter
Speaker 1: with the quote unquote team of not even taking it seriously.
Speaker 1: I took it seriously. I just throw some regrets there,
Speaker 1: some regrets. Um, all right, thank you everybody for watching
Speaker 1: along on the stream. Thank you to Rachel Bonetta for
Speaker 1: joining us, and good luck in Germany. Have a great
Speaker 1: time deliver the content that is demanded of you by
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell himself. UM and everybody enjoyed the games on Sunday,
Speaker 1: we'll be back Sunday night with the Flagship show. Till
Speaker 1: then he the call.
