00:01:26.543 --> 00:01:29.295

00:01:33.385 --> 00:01:34.128
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:37.385 --> 00:01:41.691
Chargers 85, though you know he came through a fire show for y'all today.
00:01:41.691 --> 00:01:44.015
This is going to be absolutely phenomenal.
00:01:44.015 --> 00:01:48.582
This is what I've always considered the best weekend in football.
00:01:48.582 --> 00:01:53.828
I love the divisional round where you've got great the top eight teams.
00:01:53.828 --> 00:01:57.847
You've got two fire games on Saturday, two fire games on Sunday.
00:01:57.847 --> 00:02:01.579
We're going to definitely dig into that, but we have a lot that we're going to go into.
00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:03.480
We're going to talk about the wildcard woes.
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.271
We will touch on my wildcard practice week.
00:02:07.271 --> 00:02:11.348
Okay, that was a practice round for me, so we're going to talk about that practice round.
00:02:11.348 --> 00:02:13.246
All right, we're going to talk about the Texans.
00:02:13.246 --> 00:02:16.268
Commanders Rams Are they contenders or pretenders?
00:02:16.268 --> 00:02:19.382
We're going to talk about the coaching carousel.
00:02:19.382 --> 00:02:23.485
Dion is he going to be the next coach, or who should be the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys?
00:02:23.485 --> 00:02:26.929
We're going to talk about all these hot defensive coordinators.
00:02:26.929 --> 00:02:30.010
Should these defensive coordinators be head coaches?
00:02:30.010 --> 00:02:32.453
Can a defensive coordinator lead a team to a Super Bowl?
00:02:32.453 --> 00:02:33.693
We'll talk about that.
00:02:33.693 --> 00:02:37.116
We've got the college football championship, good Lord.
00:02:39.881 --> 00:02:40.843
Finally, we'll be played on.
00:02:40.884 --> 00:02:41.325
Monday.
00:02:41.325 --> 00:02:44.623
We'll talk about that, all right, ohio State versus Notre Dame.
00:02:44.623 --> 00:02:48.032
And then, oh man, we're going to get into these divisional games.
00:02:48.032 --> 00:02:53.780
This is where I'm going to go 4-0 and show everybody what's up, because it's time for that.
00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:55.286
So we're going to get into those picks.
00:02:55.286 --> 00:02:59.106
We'll have Brianna here for that, of course, and then we will finish off.
00:02:59.106 --> 00:03:01.688
We'll finish off with one of our producers.
00:03:01.688 --> 00:03:05.336
Yes, we know Brandon Bean is a fan favorite.
00:03:05.336 --> 00:03:12.622
We know y'all love Brandon Bean, but Brandon is also helping a lot behind the scenes as far as helping to put the show together.
00:03:12.622 --> 00:03:19.223
But we're going to talk to him for a couple of minutes and get his quick take on the games, the divisional game.
00:03:19.223 --> 00:03:24.197
So we'll touch on that with him as we finish, and that's going to be a segment that's going to be open to all of our fans.
00:03:24.197 --> 00:03:29.424
So we'll have a segment at the end of every show where we let a fan come on and give their take.
00:03:29.424 --> 00:03:31.328
So, all right, so that's the show man.
00:03:31.328 --> 00:03:31.889
So y'all ready?
00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:34.828

00:04:30.488 --> 00:04:31.824
Yes, yes, it is.
00:04:33.824 --> 00:04:36.232
The Pure Green immunity shot will help.
00:04:36.661 --> 00:04:40.470
Maybe because it's Pure Green, but maybe we're going to see.
00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:41.473
Maybe just because it's Pure Green.
00:04:42.182 --> 00:04:42.483

00:04:42.483 --> 00:04:46.148

All right, let's get into it.
00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:48.826
So wild card woes.
00:04:48.826 --> 00:04:50.339
What happened to Derek?
00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:59.365
I know you guys wanted to talk about this a little bit, so I'm going to give you the floor for about 30 seconds just to talk about it was pretty quick, man.
00:04:59.545 --> 00:05:08.168
Okay, might serve more.
00:05:08.168 --> 00:05:08.872
There might be more time.
00:05:08.872 --> 00:05:09.935
Do you have anything that you want to say?
00:05:09.935 --> 00:05:13.857
It's like when a team loses, when a team loses, we're supposed to talk about the things they did bad and just kind of criticize them.
00:05:13.857 --> 00:05:14.199
So this is you.
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.005
You're the team that lost.
00:05:16.005 --> 00:05:18.185
Okay, so you were 1-5.
00:05:18.185 --> 00:05:19.949
What happened, man?
00:05:19.949 --> 00:05:20.029
Why?
00:05:22.023 --> 00:05:24.189
Well, like I said, it was practice.
00:05:24.189 --> 00:05:26.286
It was practice, I was messing around.
00:05:26.286 --> 00:05:29.848
You know, it's like the layup line, You're kind of lollygagging or whatever you know.
00:05:29.848 --> 00:05:32.389
But again, you guys need to be scared.
00:05:32.389 --> 00:05:38.233
Y'all should be trembling more than Lamar Jackson going into Buffalo.
00:05:38.701 --> 00:05:40.579
Lamar Jackson is the reason why you're winning five.
00:05:40.579 --> 00:05:42.608
One of the reasons you're winning five.
00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:53.567
So I don't know who's tripling right now, but okay, y'all should be shaking right now because it's like if Steph, when Steph has an off game, man, you know what's coming.
00:05:53.567 --> 00:05:57.706
Y'all know perfection is about to come, because you know how great I am.
00:05:57.706 --> 00:05:59.225
And you know how rare that is.
00:05:59.225 --> 00:06:04.947
So you know I'm about to just go completely off on y'all, so you should be very, very scared.
00:06:04.947 --> 00:06:06.810
I'm actually surprised y'all showed up today.
00:06:06.810 --> 00:06:08.151
I'm actually surprised.
00:06:08.151 --> 00:06:09.334
I really am.
00:06:09.334 --> 00:06:09.954
I really am.
00:06:09.954 --> 00:06:10.576
But you know what?
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.692
I'm surprised you did too, because looking at it it wasn't great, it wasn't great, it wasn't great.
00:06:15.692 --> 00:06:26.593
Okay, the one thing I didn't understand, steelers-r were like hey, sam Donald doesn't look like he has it.
00:06:26.593 --> 00:06:29.165
He has it In the biggest game of his career.
00:06:29.165 --> 00:06:30.689
Put up nine points.
00:06:30.689 --> 00:06:32.910
Guess what he did in the second biggest game of his career.
00:06:32.910 --> 00:06:34.045
What was it?
00:06:34.045 --> 00:06:38.966
Nine points again, yeah, 11 sacks Because he was on the ball too long.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.062
He was awful.
00:06:41.322 --> 00:06:45.651
He was awful Very bad, I missed that I missed that one, but I saw what I needed to see.
00:06:45.651 --> 00:06:47.134
I've made the adjustment.
00:06:47.134 --> 00:06:52.285
I'm the best adjuster in picking history and you guys are going to see the results of that.
00:06:52.285 --> 00:06:53.728
But you know what Y'all are getting on me.
00:06:53.728 --> 00:06:54.449
That's cool.
00:06:54.449 --> 00:06:55.812
Y'all messing with me, but you know what.
00:06:55.812 --> 00:07:02.927
I know who has my back.
00:07:02.927 --> 00:07:04.048
I know who has my back.
00:07:04.048 --> 00:07:06.730
I'm going to bring in Brianna because I know Bri's got my back.
00:07:06.730 --> 00:07:07.730
So let's bring in Bri.
00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:08.892
Hey, what's up?
00:07:08.892 --> 00:07:11.295
Bri, hi, hey, hey.
00:07:11.295 --> 00:07:13.076
So, bri, I know you've got my back.
00:07:13.076 --> 00:07:16.528
I know you got it right.
00:07:16.548 --> 00:07:25.038
I pick amazing, I don't think I was the best reinforcement for you.
00:07:30.103 --> 00:07:31.245
No, no, so, no, no so.
00:07:31.586 --> 00:07:36.137
I mean but you, you saw the logic on uh where I was going with my picks right, not with the steelers and the eagles ravens.
00:07:36.156 --> 00:07:36.877
Man, okay, man, no, no no.
00:07:36.877 --> 00:07:39.925
Love okay, all right that's all right, I said you know what?
00:07:39.964 --> 00:07:42.129
so see, you guys have me motivated.
00:07:42.129 --> 00:07:45.367
So that's why I'm about to just completely go off this week.
00:07:45.819 --> 00:07:49.370
So you're going to see that we will see All right.
00:07:51.440 --> 00:07:52.704
You excited for this weekend.
00:07:53.387 --> 00:07:53.728
Mm-hmm.
00:07:54.269 --> 00:07:56.653
Yeah, yeah, it's going to be big time.
00:07:56.653 --> 00:07:58.607
We cannot wait to hear your picks.
00:07:58.607 --> 00:08:04.725
I know we've, you know, talked a little bit behind the scenes, but we'll definitely dive into those a little later with you.
00:08:04.725 --> 00:08:07.891
So we're excited to go into that and then we'll see.
00:08:07.891 --> 00:08:14.028
Of course, in three weeks at Kings we're going to start to promote that show heavily, so we're looking forward to seeing you there.
00:08:14.028 --> 00:08:21.427
While we have you, you know, texans, commanders, rams, we're going to dive into them in a little bit.
00:08:21.427 --> 00:08:27.283
Dive into them in a little bit.
00:08:27.283 --> 00:08:29.932
Uh, are any of those contenders, or would you say all of those are pretenders at this?
00:08:29.951 --> 00:08:30.533
point texans commanders.
00:08:30.533 --> 00:08:39.980
I think the texans and the rams are definitely contenders, but I don't think the commanders are oh yeah yeah yeah, I agree I agree he just gets lucky.
00:08:40.061 --> 00:08:52.091
Jane daniels, he just gets lucky what that is true, that's diego's take that's diego's take too yes, yes and he's a rookie too, so it kind of makes sense that he gets lucky.
00:08:52.150 --> 00:09:04.027
But I think it's just that, like kind of really and then the texans cj is really good, but pressure too, but he always makes it out of the pressure part, so he's good.
00:09:04.027 --> 00:09:12.894
And the rams, I mean matthew stafford, he's a veteran and they came back from a one to four like win rate.
00:09:12.894 --> 00:09:15.283
So they're one, four and they came back from that.
00:09:15.342 --> 00:09:16.625
So they did.
00:09:16.625 --> 00:09:17.607
They did come back from.
00:09:17.607 --> 00:09:21.283
They had some injuries early on once they got healthy?
00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:22.245
Yeah, they uh.
00:09:22.245 --> 00:09:24.390
Yeah, you can argue that they're.
00:09:24.390 --> 00:09:25.793
They're looking, looking good.
00:09:25.793 --> 00:09:26.482
Ok, all right.
00:09:26.482 --> 00:09:31.803
Well, we're definitely going to dive into that more when we dive into those games, so we'll get more of your take on these.
00:09:31.803 --> 00:09:35.212
But I appreciate that and we'll see you a little later in the show.
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:36.541
All right, thank you.
00:09:36.922 --> 00:09:37.482
OK, all right.
00:09:37.482 --> 00:09:40.606
Thanks, brie, all right, ok, all right.
00:09:40.606 --> 00:09:42.269
So All right, no, but that's okay.
00:09:42.269 --> 00:09:45.815
Like I said, y'all got me fired up, motivated, I'm ready to go at it.
00:09:45.815 --> 00:09:48.428
So let's talk about the Texans here.
00:09:48.428 --> 00:09:49.926
We'll keep the slide that we've got here.
00:09:49.926 --> 00:09:52.869
Texans, diego, are they contenders or pretenders?
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.947
Texans are pretenders.
00:09:54.947 --> 00:10:05.090
I just don't believe in CJ, like I've always not believed in CJ, but especially at this time of the year, when he got to the division round last year.
00:10:05.090 --> 00:10:07.211
They played a really good team in Baltimore.
00:10:07.211 --> 00:10:17.363
They lost and he just doesn't have what it takes Justin Herbert sold in the first playoff game he played in.
00:10:17.363 --> 00:10:18.224
He's just not reliable.
00:10:18.224 --> 00:10:19.927
He sold worse than.
00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:24.013
Darnold, yeah, he did, he sold worse than Darnold Way.
00:10:24.033 --> 00:10:24.693
More hard I he did.
00:10:24.693 --> 00:10:26.336
He's so worse than Darnold Way more hurt.
00:10:26.355 --> 00:10:34.669
I don't even understand how Justin Herbert throws four picks and we're still like, oh, he's top five, yeah, yeah, let's cut that out right now.
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.748
They're not contenders because it's CJ and I mean they're playing the Chiefs, and if they're going to contend, they have to at least have a chance.
00:10:41.748 --> 00:10:44.777
Geez, which Mahomes is taking care of business.
00:10:44.777 --> 00:10:47.346
Tj is going to never want to touch a football field ever again.
00:10:47.346 --> 00:10:53.730
After this game, I see a blowout okay crazy blowout, all right.
00:10:54.182 --> 00:10:59.046
Well, without the Chiefs have played this year, I think that this might be closer than we think.
00:10:59.046 --> 00:11:03.648
The defense from the Texas gave me something to be inspired by.
00:11:03.648 --> 00:11:17.225
I do worry about that Chiefs secondary, their ability to lock in on Nico Collins and kind of force CJ to throw to everybody else, because, again, xavier Hutchinson and John Mesche don't necessarily inspire confidence outside of Nico Collins.
00:11:17.225 --> 00:11:20.190
So I think that's where it could get a little difficult.
00:11:20.190 --> 00:11:22.488
You got to turn over here, turn over there.
00:11:22.488 --> 00:11:29.255
There's a couple again, like with the kansas, with kansas city, and like how they've, like, had this dynasty for a minute.
00:11:29.255 --> 00:11:31.943
It always comes down to a couple plays or that one play.
00:11:31.943 --> 00:11:33.827
Either they make or you don't make.
00:11:34.009 --> 00:11:37.384
So yeah, that's, very true I think this game will be a little closer.
00:11:37.384 --> 00:11:46.142
I wouldn't say a blowout, but I will say that some like chief's magic comes away and they like pull it out at the end and one comment here.
00:11:46.162 --> 00:11:47.212
So thanks for the comments.
00:11:47.212 --> 00:11:48.160
Keep the comments coming.
00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:55.506
We're in studio so we can't quite see the comments, but we know everybody that's watching wants to see the comments that you have, so keep those coming.
00:11:55.506 --> 00:12:02.163
But if you want to communicate with us directly, ask us a question and we will acknowledge that.
00:12:02.163 --> 00:12:05.647
So please ask a question if you want to go back and forth with us.
00:12:05.647 --> 00:12:16.785
But, diego, so your man, your biggest nightmare is going to be if the Texans mess around and win this game they have zero shot of winning.
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.062
Mahomes will not let that happen For your sake?
00:12:20.203 --> 00:12:20.787
I hope so.
00:12:20.787 --> 00:12:25.304
Cj will be a made man for the rest of his career.
00:12:25.304 --> 00:12:26.328
He doesn't have to do it.
00:12:26.328 --> 00:12:31.149
He can miss the playoffs for the rest of his career and he will be just fine if they win this game.
00:12:31.149 --> 00:12:33.797
Let me tell you, man, that's going to be rough.
00:12:33.797 --> 00:12:35.081
Not happening, okay.
00:12:35.081 --> 00:12:36.587
Not happening, not happening.
00:12:36.587 --> 00:12:38.567
Let's move on to the commanders.
00:12:38.567 --> 00:12:43.081
Okay, so commanders Diego's other, you know.
00:12:43.081 --> 00:12:46.104
Second overall pick who's the golden child?
00:12:46.104 --> 00:12:46.443
Golden?
00:12:46.484 --> 00:12:47.725
child after three weeks?
00:12:47.804 --> 00:12:49.966
yes, Yep cannot do anything wrong.
00:12:49.966 --> 00:12:52.408
Nothing wrong for the rest of his career.
00:12:52.408 --> 00:12:56.389
The Commanders and Jaden Daniels are they contenders or pretenders?
00:12:56.409 --> 00:13:15.628
Diego, the Commanders are pretenders and this is why the Commanders in the regular season they beat all the bad teams, all the teams they're supposed to win against, and they played teams like the Eagles and they played teams like the Eagles and even they lost to the Cowboys Just any good teams that they play they lost to.
00:13:15.628 --> 00:13:24.611
And they had a bunch of overtime games, like the Bears game, the Hail Mary that was arguably the luckiest win in NFL history.
00:13:24.611 --> 00:13:33.808
And they had the overtime game against Atlanta, where they had a bunch of calls that didn't go Atlanta's way and just a bunch of lucky moments throughout the year.
00:13:33.808 --> 00:13:41.171
And even in the playoff game, the kicker's scratching his head and then the ball hits the upright and then goes in.
00:13:41.171 --> 00:13:43.647
Yeah, it was a lot.
00:13:44.802 --> 00:13:45.884
I just don't believe in him.
00:13:45.884 --> 00:13:51.378
No, and and that they gotta have at least a shot to beat the lions, which they have zero chance of winning.
