00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:04.791
And I'm also I'm sorry, but that light-skinned boogeyman up in Kansas City.

00:00:04.791 --> 00:00:08.919
Okay, those knees get a little shaky when he comes around.

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:17.835
And until you handle that boogeyman in Kansas City, I cannot in good conscience vote for you to get that MVP.

00:00:17.835 --> 00:00:20.460
Until you get over that light-skinned man in Kansas City.

00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:23.013
How would Shosh Allen face that light-skinned boogeyman?

00:00:23.033 --> 00:00:23.515

00:00:23.515 --> 00:00:24.059
He beat him.

00:00:24.899 --> 00:00:50.493
He beat him, he beat him in the regular season.

00:00:51.533 --> 00:00:54.734

This is the last show of the year.

00:01:20.391 --> 00:01:22.465
It's been a fantastic year, man.

00:01:22.465 --> 00:01:23.308
How you doing, Diego.

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:26.260
Doing good.

00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:28.908
Panthers win last week, so you know that's always good, you know.

00:01:28.927 --> 00:01:31.274
Yeah, yes, yes, good man.

00:01:31.274 --> 00:01:33.299
Well, hey, a couple quick shout outs.

00:01:33.299 --> 00:01:35.046

You're in for a fire show.

00:01:39.721 --> 00:01:41.843
We've got nfl week 17.

00:01:41.843 --> 00:01:43.284
We're gonna hit all the games.

00:01:43.284 --> 00:01:44.805
Give you our no-brainers.

00:01:44.805 --> 00:01:47.287
We're going to also go to our Island Games.

00:01:47.287 --> 00:01:48.147
That's going to be fun.

00:01:48.147 --> 00:01:51.671
The games we disagree on, we're going to dive into this MVP race.

00:01:51.671 --> 00:01:55.834
It's basically down between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.

00:01:55.834 --> 00:01:56.876
So I can't wait.

00:01:56.915 --> 00:02:09.224
We got some people that's been flip-flopping y'all, so I'm not going to say who, all right, but we're gonna get into that.

00:02:09.224 --> 00:02:09.826
We're already starting.

00:02:09.826 --> 00:02:10.288
We'll get into that.

00:02:10.288 --> 00:02:11.412
And uh, nba, did they lose christmas to the nfl?

00:02:11.412 --> 00:02:12.534
Did the nfl steal christmas?

00:02:12.534 --> 00:02:13.960
We're gonna talk about that.

00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.506
And man, our fantasy football showdown.

00:02:16.506 --> 00:02:18.671
The trophy is here.

00:02:18.671 --> 00:02:21.098
We're down to the wire.

00:02:21.098 --> 00:02:27.352
We got the final two teams and we're gonna have them join us for a segment for some trash talk.

00:02:27.352 --> 00:02:28.294
So that's going to be so fun.

00:02:28.294 --> 00:02:29.665
We got Silas from Canada.

00:02:29.665 --> 00:02:33.229
We got David Cook, dc, representing Georgia.

00:02:33.229 --> 00:02:38.045
We'll be in the building and we're going to have some fun, fun trash talk between them.

00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:45.311
But before we get in, it got a special shout-out, special love to some of our newest subscribers family.

00:02:45.311 --> 00:02:56.192
We've got Mashika, we've got Trey, we've got Lashara and we have Garrett from Winston-Salem family some of our newest subscribers who are spending some time with them today.

00:02:56.192 --> 00:02:57.394
Love you guys.

00:02:57.394 --> 00:02:59.466
Special shout out to my cousin Trey.

00:02:59.466 --> 00:03:00.490
These are his beads.

00:03:00.490 --> 00:03:02.623
He let me borrow his beads, so I'm wearing these.

00:03:02.623 --> 00:03:08.033
So thank you, trey, love you, man, appreciate you, my man, and just so excited to rep for them.

00:03:08.033 --> 00:03:15.724
And they also gave us these special Happy New Year straws, party straws, so we're in a very festive mood.

00:03:15.724 --> 00:03:18.864
So thank you, fam, for that.

00:03:18.864 --> 00:03:20.502
We appreciate you and love you for that.

00:03:20.502 --> 00:03:27.603
All right, well, hey, fellas, y'all ready for a fire show?

00:03:27.603 --> 00:03:28.564
Yes, all right, let's get into it, man.

00:03:28.564 --> 00:03:28.985
So let's start off.

00:03:28.985 --> 00:03:29.667
We've got um the nba.

00:03:29.667 --> 00:03:33.413
Did they lose christmas to the nfl, diego?

00:03:33.413 --> 00:03:34.484
What was your take on this man?

00:03:34.925 --> 00:03:35.909
yeah, it's looking like it.

00:03:35.909 --> 00:03:37.679
It's looking like they're losing christmas to nfl.

00:03:37.679 --> 00:03:48.688
I mean, like the nfl, their ratings were um five times with the NBA, got almost five times what the NBA got, yes, and the games weren't even that great.

00:03:48.688 --> 00:03:53.512
So that just kind of shows how much they're kind of taking over.

00:03:53.512 --> 00:03:58.010
So, yeah, I think NFL is taking over Christmas.

00:03:58.010 --> 00:03:59.524
Yeah, I think they're taking over.

00:03:59.524 --> 00:03:59.906
What do you?

00:03:59.945 --> 00:04:00.307
think Chris.

00:04:00.700 --> 00:04:06.139
I mean I think that the NBA overall had the better slate, chris.

00:04:06.139 --> 00:04:07.543
I mean I think that the nba overall had the better slate.

00:04:07.543 --> 00:04:10.429
But unfortunately when you have beyonce, you have like four playoff teams on for christmas.

00:04:10.429 --> 00:04:12.012
Obviously people are gonna tune in.

00:04:12.012 --> 00:04:18.639
So I do think that the deal with netflix to expand kind of shows that roger's not playing around anymore.

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.346
He's like nah, we really gonna be pushing this.

00:04:21.346 --> 00:04:30.009
So I'm very excited for basically what comes of this new deal with Netflix and see if there's more streaming deals.

00:04:30.009 --> 00:04:32.466
But I am, I don't know.

00:04:32.466 --> 00:04:41.607
I think the NBA, I think LeBron and staff held it down for him, but it's still the Beyonce of it all kind of sealed the deal for how well the NFL was going to do.

00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.372
Yeah, a lot of people were happy with the Beyonce performance.

00:04:47.372 --> 00:04:58.232
I'm not going to speak on it because you know we're not quite big enough to deal with the backlash from going against the what's the group, the Beehive, yeah the Beehive.

00:04:58.232 --> 00:05:09.593
So I'm not going to, on record, say anything bad about Beyonce and the Beehive, but I do feel like the NFL is stealing it from the NBA, especially on Wednesday.

00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:10.401
Like.

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:12.728
OK, christmas, you know, obviously is falling on every day.

00:05:12.728 --> 00:05:16.951
So Sunday, I get that, saturday, monday, but Wednesday, really.

00:05:16.951 --> 00:05:20.286
So you know, they really flex their muscles there.

00:05:20.286 --> 00:05:29.249
And then the NBA didn't do themselves themselves any, you know, uh didn't give themselves any help by, in my opinion, putting stephan lebron in that prime time spot.

00:05:29.249 --> 00:05:32.002
I get it, they're the, you know, still the face.

00:05:32.002 --> 00:05:42.930
But that's, that's the problem with the nba is they still have not turned to the new guard, um okc, best team in the nba, and they're not on at all.

00:05:42.930 --> 00:05:51.362
Ant-man, who's probably got the most charisma out of anybody, not on, it's just interesting.

00:05:51.423 --> 00:05:58.026
Wimby, who you know definitely has next is on at noon in a spot when everybody's still asleep.

00:05:58.026 --> 00:05:59.985
Just interesting.

00:05:59.985 --> 00:06:01.365
What do you got to say, chris?

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:02.668
My whole thing.

00:06:02.668 --> 00:06:07.209
I believe that the NBA has kind of given up on their push for young players over these past few years.

00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.451
Just because of the stuff that's happened with said young players.

00:06:11.451 --> 00:06:21.408
I mean the push that there was for Zion Williamson in 2018, 2019, when he was coming out of Duke and everybody was losing their minds saying, oh, he's going to be the best player in the league.

00:06:21.408 --> 00:06:24.329
And then we see that doesn't necessarily go well.

00:06:24.329 --> 00:06:32.494
You see how they try to push jaw and you see how big jaw is on social media and then you know all the mess that jaws had with the whole.

00:06:32.494 --> 00:06:33.779
We're not going to speak on it, but if you know, you know.

00:06:34.141 --> 00:06:38.699
And then we have anthony edwards and then losing to the mavericks in very dramatic fashion.

00:06:38.699 --> 00:06:42.509
It feels like they haven't had the opportunity to truly push that new guard.

00:06:42.509 --> 00:06:48.045
It kind of like focus on those very new and talented players.

00:06:48.045 --> 00:06:57.024
I feel like, especially like with the celtics ring, that definitely should have shown us that they didn't care too much for their younger players because immediately we focus on lebron, steph and katie for the olympics.

00:06:57.024 --> 00:07:02.906
This is like the best young core of two players all of a sudden finally breaking through, winning their their championship.

00:07:03.367 --> 00:07:06.173
And we heard nothing about that after the summer.

00:07:06.173 --> 00:07:12.408
So I'm not mad if the Celtics want to start being a dynasty winning, because I feel like we disrespected them a little.

00:07:12.408 --> 00:07:18.651
We just after this offseason based off how well Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown both played.

00:07:18.651 --> 00:07:38.728
So I really think they've given up on it because they're like okay, we got to focus on the retirement tours of these guys instead of just focusing on their new guard, which kind of worries me because I don't know which new young players they're really gonna like try to have to take those spots okay, okay, now that that's a very interesting take.

00:07:38.747 --> 00:07:39.569
That that's a good take.

00:07:39.569 --> 00:07:40.331
That's a good take.

00:07:40.331 --> 00:07:48.829
They've given up on the, the new guard and you know, had some tries and failures and are just going to stick it out with the old guard until they retire.

00:07:49.129 --> 00:07:54.889
Any final comments from you, diego, on that uh, yeah, I wish, I wish we saw OKC and SGA.

00:07:54.889 --> 00:07:57.802
That would have been cool because hence the best team in the league.

00:07:57.802 --> 00:08:00.389
And uh, yeah, we could have put them on over.

00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:07.968
You know the Sixers, the Knicks, or you know any of these other teams with older players that aren't even that great to be honest.

00:08:07.968 --> 00:08:09.987
They aren't even some of the top teams anymore.

00:08:09.987 --> 00:08:13.370
Yeah, that's really all I got to say on that.

00:08:14.403 --> 00:08:15.767
Good point, good takes there.

00:08:15.767 --> 00:08:19.625
It was also interesting before we transitioned to the NFL.

00:08:19.625 --> 00:08:28.230
Ant Ant did flex on Luka Well, not on luca, so that was kind of the point.

00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:36.160
So they were able to hold the mavericks off right the other day, but uh, conveniently when luca was out.

00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:42.601
Now luca's out for a month, but kind of like man, you know, I I wish I could have seen that with luca there.

00:08:42.601 --> 00:08:45.268
So I don't know if that's fool's gold or not.

00:08:45.288 --> 00:08:45.830
I think it is.

00:08:45.830 --> 00:08:56.399
Yeah, I think it is Because early in the game, like I watched the beginning of the game, mavericks were leading and then Luka goes out down and then Ant starts going crazy.

00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:02.682
When Luka gets out it hits a few shots and then he's flexing and talking trash, regular Ant stuff.

00:09:02.682 --> 00:09:08.705
But it's like man, you weren't doing that when Luka was in there Right, yeah, they didn't be doing that when they?

00:09:08.705 --> 00:09:10.807
Don't have all their guys.

00:09:10.846 --> 00:09:12.227
Yeah, wasn't doing that.

00:09:12.227 --> 00:09:20.611
It's kind of like on Friday, you know, people talking junk when Deebo's not around, you know, which kind of reminds me of somebody else in another league.

00:09:20.611 --> 00:09:21.893
But we'll get to that later.

00:09:21.893 --> 00:09:23.053
Anyway, we'll get to that later.

00:09:23.053 --> 00:09:24.193
Anyway, we'll get to that later.

00:09:24.193 --> 00:09:24.615
Okay, all right.

00:09:24.615 --> 00:09:25.995
So any oh.

00:09:26.014 --> 00:09:27.336
So I got one thing to say here.

00:09:27.336 --> 00:09:37.642
So, questions we know a lot of people are watching and whatnot, and we've had some fans that definitely you know we guys.

00:09:37.642 --> 00:09:39.203
You guys put a lot of comments out there and we love your comments.

00:09:39.203 --> 00:09:44.070
Please keep the comments coming, but we can't here on the live show, we can't see all the comments, so we're not able to acknowledge the comments.

00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.653
So the comments are for everyone else watching.

00:09:46.653 --> 00:09:53.172
If you would like to engage with us during the show, please ask a question and we will make sure that we answer your questions.

00:09:53.172 --> 00:10:00.181
So if you have a question, you want to engage with us, put that in the comments and we'll be sure to answer that.

00:10:00.181 --> 00:10:04.828
So we had one particular fan that was very disappointed that we didn't get to acknowledge some of his comments.

00:10:04.828 --> 00:10:08.975
So please just put a question in and we will be able to answer that.

00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:13.450
So, with that said, summer, do we have any questions that we need to know?

00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:14.712
Okay, no questions right now.

00:10:14.712 --> 00:10:17.047
So, again, you want us to acknowledge you?

00:10:17.047 --> 00:10:19.375
Please put a question in and we will acknowledge.

00:10:19.375 --> 00:10:20.000
All right.

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:21.443
Okay, cool, so let's move on.

00:10:21.443 --> 00:10:24.932
Let's preview the NFL Week 17.

00:10:24.932 --> 00:10:33.086
While we're doing this, we're going to recap some of the games that already happened.

00:10:33.086 --> 00:10:34.668
Man, we have the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:10:34.668 --> 00:10:38.914
The NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs have taken over that division.

00:10:38.914 --> 00:10:45.272
They beat Russell Wilson and the Steelers handily on Netflix with a clean stream.

00:10:45.272 --> 00:10:49.284
What's your thoughts on that game in the state of the Kansas City Chiefs?

00:10:49.304 --> 00:10:54.782
Diego Just Red Chiefs doing Chief things, refs throwing their flags.

00:10:54.782 --> 00:10:58.543
I saw the second DBs were touching wide receivers.

00:10:58.543 --> 00:11:01.144
I was seeing multiple flags go out.

00:11:01.144 --> 00:11:04.482
It was a flag fest in that game, for sure.

00:11:04.482 --> 00:11:06.542
But hey, they pulled it through.

00:11:06.542 --> 00:11:07.548
They did what they do.

00:11:07.548 --> 00:11:11.948
Yeah, nothing shocking in that game.

00:11:12.821 --> 00:11:13.222
Okay.

00:11:13.222 --> 00:11:19.283
So my mistake is the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are yet again rounding into form.

00:11:19.283 --> 00:11:32.322
I feel that like it's very scary seeing how well Mahomes played homes played because again it turned back to the clock to like mbp my homes with all the touchdowns he was throwing, kind of getting through all of his reads.

00:11:32.322 --> 00:11:40.605
Basically, travis kelsey, you know, doing his whole turn the turn the clock back thing, you know, breaking tony gonzalez like receiving touchdown record.

00:11:40.605 --> 00:11:45.011
So I'm I'm very worried about this three pete.

00:11:45.052 --> 00:11:56.307
I'm not gonna lie, because somehow, some way, regardless of how we feel about like the rest of the teams of the afc, there's something to be said about how patrick mahomes and the chiefs play in the playoffs.

00:11:56.307 --> 00:12:05.734
And we can talk about the refs all we want, but during every single super bowl run, yes, I, he has a moment where you're just like okay, dude, you're about to take this game over.

00:12:05.734 --> 00:12:11.726
I'm very excited to see what happens if somebody's able to knock them off.

00:12:11.726 --> 00:12:17.364
I feel like earlier this season we could say it was just the evil magic or all this stuff.

00:12:17.423 --> 00:12:24.660
But now it's like, okay, they've definitely turned a corner, they're starting to look a little scary now.

00:12:24.721 --> 00:12:30.067
The three-peat, I mean, if you asked me before the season I would have said there's no way they're going to three-peat.

00:12:30.067 --> 00:12:33.063
There's no way, no how they were lucky to win last year.

00:12:33.063 --> 00:12:37.346
Now, man, I still say they're not going to three-peat.

00:12:37.346 --> 00:12:41.409
But man, it's looking shaky.

00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:43.967
It's looking shaky and it's looking scary.

00:12:43.967 --> 00:12:50.145
I believe it's looking shaky, it's looking shaky.

00:12:50.145 --> 00:12:50.886
It's looking scary.

00:12:50.886 --> 00:12:51.587
I believe in uh of the teams.

00:12:51.607 --> 00:12:53.571
I believe in alan, I believe in the lions, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll see.

00:12:53.571 --> 00:12:55.053
And so, dc, we see you backstage.

00:12:55.053 --> 00:12:56.201
Man, happy to see you.

00:12:56.201 --> 00:13:02.302
So we're gonna be bringing you out shortly, uh, after we pass the uh no-brainers, we'll be getting the fancy football to see.

00:13:02.302 --> 00:13:04.847
Dc's ready, he's ready into it, man.

00:13:04.847 --> 00:13:05.769
So we can't wait to.

00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:07.033
Can't wait to bring you on.

00:13:07.033 --> 00:13:08.182
So we know you can hear us.

00:13:08.182 --> 00:13:12.124
We just want to acknowledge you, let you know you're in the right place, so we'll bring you out.

00:13:12.124 --> 00:13:13.028
We'll bring you out in a minute.

00:13:13.028 --> 00:13:21.610
All right, oh man.

00:13:21.610 --> 00:13:22.650
But yeah, chiefs are looking.

00:13:22.650 --> 00:13:30.105
Let's go into the Ravens Baltimore Ravens visiting CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans.

00:13:30.105 --> 00:13:31.975
This is a segment that we know.

00:13:31.975 --> 00:13:34.508
Diego is very happy and excited about.

00:13:35.061 --> 00:13:36.466
Diego, let's just give it to you.

00:13:36.466 --> 00:13:40.587
Man, how do you think Baltimore Ravens look against those Houston Texans?

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:43.787
Yeah, baltimore, they look good against another bad Lamar.

00:13:43.787 --> 00:13:45.501
Had a great game against another bad lamar.

00:13:45.501 --> 00:13:48.172
Uh, had a great game against another bad team, so congrats to him.

00:13:48.172 --> 00:13:52.576
And cj did not look great, scored zero points on offense.

00:13:52.576 --> 00:13:55.365
The only only points they got was from the defense and the safety.

00:13:55.365 --> 00:14:03.870
So, uh, yeah, cj didn't look that great bryce, by the way, he won and his offense scored over 30 and he got three touchdowns.

00:14:04.171 --> 00:14:11.606
Just saying Okay, bryce won how many touchdowns?

00:14:11.626 --> 00:14:11.947
Three.

00:14:13.129 --> 00:14:14.110
How many interceptions?

00:14:14.110 --> 00:14:15.731
Zero, zero.

00:14:15.731 --> 00:14:18.216
Okay, you said it with a lot of confidence.

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.429
He had the best cute quarterback rating last week also he did.

00:14:25.086 --> 00:14:26.250
Did you pick the Panthers?

00:14:26.250 --> 00:14:28.908
See, it was a part of my strategy, all right.

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.442
I had.

00:14:30.442 --> 00:14:33.091
If they won, I was going to be happy.

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.028
If they lost my pick was going to be right.

00:14:35.422 --> 00:14:36.448
So that's how you got to do it.

00:14:36.509 --> 00:14:37.336
That's how you got to do it.

00:14:37.336 --> 00:14:37.960
That's how you got to do it.

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.480
You were clearly happy.

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:49.067
You were on social media holding the Welch's grape champagne bottle, so celebrate like you won the championship when you didn't even pick them to win but somebody was a Christmas miracle.

00:14:49.067 --> 00:14:51.909
So somebody picked him to win and put some money on it.

00:14:52.390 --> 00:14:54.231
Congrats man.

00:14:54.231 --> 00:14:56.052
Who's leading the pick still.

00:14:56.052 --> 00:14:56.754
Who's leading?

00:14:57.094 --> 00:14:57.794
Well, that's another.

00:14:57.794 --> 00:14:58.916
So you're moving to go, we're not.

00:14:58.916 --> 00:15:00.256
We're not talking about that right now.

00:15:00.256 --> 00:15:02.138
All right, all right.

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:11.322
What's your take on on uh ravens texas game?

00:15:11.322 --> 00:15:14.008
I think that, yeah, cj strats having like an all-time uh sophomore slump.

00:15:14.008 --> 00:15:19.667
I, he looks night and day from the guy we used to see and again the ravens just did what rate how?

00:15:19.667 --> 00:15:21.913
Basically they've been progressing since the buy.

00:15:21.913 --> 00:15:24.726
They've just dominated more, focusing on running the ball.

00:15:24.726 --> 00:15:31.392
I, I mean Derek Henry's doing his thing, you got Mark Andrews starting to round out and for for making all his plays.

00:15:31.392 --> 00:15:33.086
Dave flower is still doing his thing.

00:15:33.086 --> 00:15:36.106
So I and I'll get to my take later.

00:15:36.187 --> 00:15:38.712
But yeah, lamar, you know, proves to be special again.

00:15:38.712 --> 00:15:50.408
So you know, I'm I'm very excited to very excited with Baltimore Ravens and you know, with the Texas, I feel a little bit, I feel a little bit unsure.

00:15:50.408 --> 00:15:52.186
I feel like they're going to be one and done in the playoffs.

00:15:52.186 --> 00:15:55.586
Cj, they got to address that offensive line.

00:15:55.586 --> 00:15:56.811
It's, it's weird.

00:15:56.811 --> 00:16:05.349
I know that they're down two of their best receivers, but we see what Bryce Young is doing with, you know, not a player at the caliber of Nico Collins.

00:16:05.349 --> 00:16:07.467
Let's keep it real.

00:16:07.467 --> 00:16:11.727
I love Chuba Hubbard, but actually, no, chuba Hubbard is better than Joe Mixon this year.

00:16:11.727 --> 00:16:13.748
I'm not even going to entertain that.

00:16:13.748 --> 00:16:19.407
But before this season would you say that Bryce had the better situation than what CJ had.

00:16:19.407 --> 00:16:20.764
I don't think anybody would.

00:16:22.301 --> 00:16:28.230
I'm just saying Bryce, since he's been benched, since he's come back, has definitely performed better than cj shroud, which you know.

00:16:28.230 --> 00:16:31.465
We'll see, basically, how the rest of their careers go.

00:16:31.886 --> 00:16:42.567
It's a very intriguing storyline going into the end of the season so, diego, this is just a spur of the moment question how many wins would the carolina panthers have if they had nico collins?

00:16:45.537 --> 00:16:46.921
They would have more than what they do now.

00:16:46.921 --> 00:16:49.375
That's all I got to say.

00:16:49.791 --> 00:16:50.774
Would they win the division?

00:16:51.196 --> 00:16:52.821
Yeah, definitely They'd win the division.

00:16:52.821 --> 00:16:57.501
And then if Bryce you know, Bryce has been playing the way that he had all year.

00:16:57.501 --> 00:17:01.639
Well, he was benched, which then caused him to play great.

00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:06.544
If we had Nico, I think we'd win the division.

00:17:06.805 --> 00:17:12.443
Okay For sure, All right Got you, got you, okay, all, if we had nico, we I think we went into vision, okay for sure, all right, got you, got you okay, all right, all right, just just something I wanted to wanted to ask there.

00:17:12.443 --> 00:17:15.251
Okay, well, hey, let's get to our no-brainers.

00:17:15.251 --> 00:17:16.275
We got a lot to get to.

00:17:16.275 --> 00:17:17.479
We got to get to our no-brainers.

00:17:17.479 --> 00:17:23.897
And then we've got to bring uh silas and uh david on and talk about their fantasy football showdown.

00:17:23.897 --> 00:17:27.462
So they also owe me and diego a lot of uh credit here.

00:17:27.462 --> 00:17:34.751
So we're gonna we're gonna bring up why they owe us some credit here when we bring them on but all right let's get to our no-brainers, man Diego.

00:17:34.771 --> 00:17:42.357
Start us off with the first one, all right first one we got the Chargers going to New England to play the Pats and we all got the Chargers.

00:17:42.357 --> 00:17:44.462
Uh, the Patriots, they're just not great.

00:17:44.462 --> 00:17:53.259
Uh, they're 3 and 12 and the Chargers Chargers are fighting for a playoff spot, so they're going to try and win as many games as they can.

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:55.637
So, yeah, easy going with them.

00:17:56.851 --> 00:17:57.535
Not much to say.

00:17:57.535 --> 00:18:00.978
You know the fighting hardballs are going to do their thing.

00:18:00.978 --> 00:18:02.682
Yeah, Go to the Chargers.

00:18:03.069 --> 00:18:08.736
Yeah, I don't think there's much to say about any of these seven no-brainers y'all, but we will acknowledge them here quickly.

00:18:08.736 --> 00:18:10.218
So yeah, that's a no-brainer.

00:18:10.218 --> 00:18:12.440
Definitely charges over the Patriots.

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:13.480
What's the next one?

00:18:13.842 --> 00:18:18.527
Next one is the Cardinals traveling to LA to play the Rams, and we all got the Rams in this one.

00:18:24.076 --> 00:18:29.424
I mean they're fighting to win the division and making sure that they don't have a reason to play.

00:18:29.424 --> 00:18:30.093
That is our.

00:18:30.133 --> 00:18:31.498
Carolina Shout out to Bryce.

00:18:31.849 --> 00:18:32.894
Carolina Panthers.

00:18:32.894 --> 00:18:39.480
Yeah, so sorry, bree on that one, but you know Southern guys had to, you know, flex a little bit.

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.971
Yeah, show them what was up on that one.

00:18:41.971 --> 00:18:43.792
Yeah, what Bryce does.

00:18:43.792 --> 00:18:46.816
Yeah, that's apparently what Bryce Young does.

00:18:46.816 --> 00:18:49.057
Okay, all right, okay, so what's the next?

00:18:49.097 --> 00:18:49.178
one.

00:18:49.178 --> 00:19:11.400
Next one we got the Jets traveling to Buffalo to play the Bills and we all got the Bills I mean Josh Allen trying to get that MVP, MVP, and the Jets don't have anything to play for, as a lot of these teams do A lot of these teams have nothing to play for, so we all going with the Bills.

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:12.119
Yeah, you going with the MVP.

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.961
Here I'm going with the Bills.

00:19:12.961 --> 00:19:15.403
I ain't going with the MVP though, but yeah, we going with the Bills.

00:19:15.403 --> 00:19:17.425
Interesting, we going to see, we going to see.

00:19:17.425 --> 00:19:25.211
Like, listen, let's see if he has a New England performance or you know a great.

00:19:25.211 --> 00:19:26.011
Rams performance.

00:19:26.011 --> 00:19:26.913
Let's just see.

00:19:26.952 --> 00:19:28.053
Because he's throwing arm punts.

00:19:28.093 --> 00:19:32.015
Now, that's a little different, as I recall those used to be called interceptions.

00:19:32.015 --> 00:19:32.855
But you know what?

00:19:32.855 --> 00:19:34.457
We will bow our head.

00:19:34.457 --> 00:19:35.997
Let's just say shout out to Josh Allen.

00:19:35.997 --> 00:19:37.137
Man, he's been playing well.

00:19:37.137 --> 00:19:38.999
All right, I have the Bills in this one.

00:19:39.338 --> 00:19:41.900
All right, okay, got the Bills in that one.

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.080
What's the next one?

00:19:43.101 --> 00:19:50.105
when we got the Colts traveling to New York to play the Giants and we all got the Colts in this one.

00:19:50.105 --> 00:20:03.654
The Giants actually do have something to play for the number one pick, so they're trying to get one of these quarterbacks and they have to lose out to do it, so they will continue to do that and the Colts will win.

00:20:03.674 --> 00:20:04.557
Yeah, yeah, no, I have the Colts in this one.

00:20:04.557 --> 00:20:08.663
They're so fine for a playoff spot and you know the Giants, they need to get Shadur, absolutely.

00:20:10.594 --> 00:20:11.076
Absolutely.

00:20:11.076 --> 00:20:14.051
Yeah, no brainer here, colts will definitely get this one.

00:20:14.051 --> 00:20:14.954
Alright, what's?

00:20:14.974 --> 00:20:15.416
the next one.

00:20:15.416 --> 00:20:20.816
Next one we got the Cowboys traveling to Philly to play the Eagles, and we all got the Eagles in this one.

00:20:20.816 --> 00:20:25.080
Well, they already clinched the division, I think, did they?

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:25.961
No, they haven division.

00:20:25.961 --> 00:20:26.662
I think they did they.

00:20:26.662 --> 00:20:28.144
Uh, no, they, oh, they didn't this one yeah, there's.

00:20:28.223 --> 00:20:32.871
Yes, they're still trying to clinch the division, so they got a lot to play for, so, uh, that's why they're gonna win this game.

00:20:32.871 --> 00:20:37.065
Cowboys are also sat cd, so I don't really have anybody for this one.

00:20:37.085 --> 00:20:39.413
Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

00:20:39.413 --> 00:20:40.477
Uh, the jalen hurts.

00:20:40.477 --> 00:20:42.384
Not being in kind of worries me a little.

00:20:42.384 --> 00:20:44.171
I still have the eagles winning it.

00:20:44.171 --> 00:20:52.596
I'm just like, hey, just give the ball to Saquon, because weirdly, during the Commanders game they all of a sudden were like, oh yeah, kenny Pickett can do it.

00:20:52.596 --> 00:20:56.296
And I'm like you have Saquon back here, why are we not running the ball and focusing on him?

00:20:56.296 --> 00:21:01.411
So I just hope that they learn from that mistake and they focus.

00:21:01.411 --> 00:21:07.923
And you know, saquon tries to break the record this game because he's already had like 250 um versus the ram.

00:21:07.923 --> 00:21:13.531
So I definitely think it would be interesting if he could, you know, break the record on the cowboys at home that would be really cool.

00:21:13.592 --> 00:21:14.455
That would be interesting.

00:21:14.455 --> 00:21:16.747
And I hear some chatter about saquon.

00:21:16.747 --> 00:21:22.481
You know, if he's able to break eric dickerson's record, does that make him the mvp?

00:21:22.481 --> 00:21:24.686
But again, it's 17 games.

00:21:24.686 --> 00:21:31.395
So you know, with that extra game I don't think you can put as much stock into that and he's dipped a lot lately.

00:21:31.395 --> 00:21:37.294
So I think it's between Allen and Lamar, but we'll talk about that at the end.

00:21:37.294 --> 00:21:39.140
All right, we got the Eagles.

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:39.760
What's the next one?

00:21:39.990 --> 00:21:51.318
Next one we got the Dolphins traveling to Cleveland to play the Browns and we all got the Dolphins this one, dolphins fighting for still alive, for a playoff spot, so they got to try and win out in Cleveland.

00:21:51.318 --> 00:21:55.644
They don't have Jameis, he's out, and the Dolphins, yeah.

00:21:55.644 --> 00:22:00.496
They got stuff to play for, so we're going with them.

00:22:00.536 --> 00:22:07.240
Yeah, Going Miami in this one, you know, might be a rough watch but I definitely have the Dolphins coming out.

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:08.366
I will not be watching that game.

00:22:08.386 --> 00:22:10.175
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we definitely got the Dolphins.

00:22:10.175 --> 00:22:11.516
The Dolphins can beat the Browns.

00:22:11.516 --> 00:22:15.979
I don't know about the Ravens, but Dolphins will take care of business and get the Browns.

00:22:15.979 --> 00:22:17.241
Okay, all right.

00:22:17.241 --> 00:22:18.144
Well, what's the next one?

00:22:18.530 --> 00:22:31.555
Next one we got the Lions going to San Francisco to play the Niners and yeah, this should be ugly because they're trying to get revenge from that nfc championship from last year.

00:22:31.555 --> 00:22:35.242
So, uh, I see at least a 20 point victory and we're all going with them.

00:22:35.242 --> 00:22:38.275
I'm surprised the spread isn't higher.

00:22:38.295 --> 00:22:42.510
Me three and a half, yeah yeah, that's a low spread, very low spread.

00:22:42.510 --> 00:22:48.083
I would definitely go with the over on that yeah yeah, I got the Lions this one.

00:22:50.170 --> 00:22:52.838
I'm not too worried about what the 49ers have to offer this year.

00:22:52.838 --> 00:22:57.673
I think Lions are definitely trying to make the push for the one seed, so they definitely need to get this one.

00:22:58.154 --> 00:23:00.561
Yeah, okay, all right.

00:23:00.561 --> 00:23:02.637
Well, that concludes that segment.

00:23:02.637 --> 00:23:03.996
So those are our no-brainers.

00:23:03.996 --> 00:23:06.659
We'll get to our Island games a little later.

00:23:06.659 --> 00:23:08.383
We'll get to our Island games a little later.

00:23:08.383 --> 00:23:08.826
We'll get to that.

00:23:08.826 --> 00:23:12.138
But next we are moving on to fantasy football.

00:23:12.138 --> 00:23:15.692
So we got the showdown between our two Titans here.

00:23:15.692 --> 00:23:23.378
We've got Mr Silas from Canada and we got DC David Cook repping Georgia.

00:23:23.378 --> 00:23:26.596
So we're going to bring both of these guys on.

00:23:26.596 --> 00:23:29.303
So, without further ado, let me adjust the camera here to bring both of these guys on.

00:23:29.303 --> 00:23:35.179
So, without further ado, let me adjust the camera here and get both of these guys on and let's go with this.

00:23:35.179 --> 00:23:36.221
All right, here we go.

00:23:36.221 --> 00:23:36.500
What's?

00:23:38.369 --> 00:23:38.851
up fellas.

00:23:38.851 --> 00:23:40.012
What's up guys?

00:23:40.012 --> 00:23:41.155
What's going on?

00:23:41.175 --> 00:23:43.961
hey, hey all right, all right, let's get.

00:23:43.961 --> 00:23:47.314
Let the, let the uh, the talk begin here.

00:23:47.314 --> 00:23:50.040
So thank you for taking the time to join us.

00:23:50.040 --> 00:23:54.080
Guys, there is a lot on the line, a whole lot on the line here.

00:23:54.080 --> 00:23:59.061
You guys are, first of all, couldn't be two better guys here in the championship.

00:23:59.061 --> 00:24:04.000
So, while we are happy for you, you definitely owe you know, diego and I.

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.124
You know we feel that we paved the way for you.

00:24:06.124 --> 00:24:20.278
So we did a lot of blocking and tackling and you know we took out, you know, the Brandons of the world Gosh, christopher, christopher we took him out.

00:24:20.278 --> 00:24:26.782
Yeah, there were a number of guys that we feel like we took out for you to pave the way.

00:24:26.782 --> 00:24:29.919
So we feel that part of this championship is ours, no matter what.

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.634
Absolutely, I'll share it with you.

00:24:32.634 --> 00:24:33.676
Oh, I'll know.

00:24:38.253 --> 00:24:39.077
I really don't know man.

00:24:39.077 --> 00:24:40.415
I faced against Josh Burke.

00:24:40.415 --> 00:24:48.798
That was a really difficult battle but, yeah, really difficult for my team to get here.

00:24:49.057 --> 00:24:53.557
my team struggled all year, so thank, thank you, diego, for all that you did for us.

00:24:53.557 --> 00:25:10.253
Dc yes, yes, the league that the league that we have is a super competitive league and many, many close games yeah, yeah, a lot of close games, a lot of close games, a lot of close games, a lot of competition.

00:25:10.294 --> 00:25:14.836
This is what is on the line here the Lombardi.

00:25:14.836 --> 00:25:18.393
It is as heavy as it looks, so it's great.

00:25:18.393 --> 00:25:19.416
It will be engraved.

00:25:19.416 --> 00:25:20.794
So get the mic.

00:25:20.794 --> 00:25:25.157
It will be engraved, so it will be customized before it is shipped to you.

00:25:25.157 --> 00:25:30.560
So it's either going to Canada or going to Georgia, so we'll see it's coming to Georgia.

00:25:30.560 --> 00:25:32.055
No, I don't know man.

00:25:33.090 --> 00:25:33.834
I don't know man.

00:25:34.797 --> 00:25:39.019
I'm not sure why DT go ahead and inscribe it with my name on it.

00:25:39.210 --> 00:25:40.394
Go ahead and inscribe it now.

00:25:40.997 --> 00:25:41.618
DT Nation.

00:25:41.618 --> 00:25:54.522
You know Silas has a good team and he has been really moving up the ranks each week.

00:25:54.522 --> 00:25:59.212
But you know something I noticed about his team this week that was interesting.

00:25:59.212 --> 00:26:03.517
You know Hurds and Kamara, two of his stallions.

00:26:03.537 --> 00:26:03.897
Who needs them?

00:26:04.810 --> 00:26:06.777
You know they were too scared.

00:26:06.777 --> 00:26:13.238
They said they tapped out we're suiting up to play DC Nation.

00:26:13.238 --> 00:26:14.734
We don't want any of that.

00:26:15.217 --> 00:26:15.557
Yeah.

00:26:16.172 --> 00:26:17.217
They just stepped aside.

00:26:17.217 --> 00:26:20.351
They said we know, there's no way, you know.

00:26:20.351 --> 00:26:26.098
So I mean, I respect their decision, but you know anyway.

00:26:26.710 --> 00:26:27.413
Yeah, they got hurt.

00:26:27.413 --> 00:26:28.596
Fine for this cause, man.

00:26:28.596 --> 00:26:29.631
You know my team is heart.

00:26:29.631 --> 00:26:30.694
My team is ready.

00:26:30.694 --> 00:26:33.243
You know my team is battle-tested.

00:26:33.243 --> 00:26:35.371
We faced against contender after contender.

00:26:35.371 --> 00:26:36.292
We took them all down.

00:26:36.292 --> 00:26:37.635
David, you're next.

00:26:38.718 --> 00:26:40.801
Hey, one thing I will say.

00:26:40.801 --> 00:26:43.692
I have had a hard time with Silas' team this year.

00:26:43.692 --> 00:26:48.541
My team did really well.

00:26:48.541 --> 00:26:56.636
Surprisingly, I've played Solace a couple of times and he put me to shame.

00:26:56.636 --> 00:27:04.455
He says my team is just a regular season team.

00:27:04.829 --> 00:27:07.162
It's a regular season, I ain't worried, just like the Cowboys.

00:27:07.162 --> 00:27:08.046
Why am I 2-0 in the playoffs, with scoring 200 points and winning a regular season team?

00:27:07.982 --> 00:27:14.519
It's a regular season, I ain't worried, just like the Cowboys Buy my 2-0 in the playoffs with scoring 200 points and winning each contest by 60%.

00:27:16.815 --> 00:27:17.798
Ain't going to happen against me.

00:27:18.490 --> 00:27:19.936
I have to light my odds DT.

00:27:21.592 --> 00:27:22.095
I love it.

00:27:22.095 --> 00:27:22.656
I love it.

00:27:22.656 --> 00:27:25.056
Now is this.

00:27:25.056 --> 00:27:27.178
I know, silas, a couple of things.

00:27:27.178 --> 00:27:30.681
Silas had the number one pick and took McCaffrey.

00:27:30.681 --> 00:27:35.640
Huge, huge accomplishment by you getting here to the championship.

00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:36.582
So that's a huge accomplishment.

00:27:36.582 --> 00:27:41.778
Now, david, were you the number one seed coming into the playoffs?

00:27:41.778 --> 00:27:44.084
Yes, okay, wow.

00:27:44.084 --> 00:27:47.380
So this is because we had 10 teams make the playoffs.

00:27:47.380 --> 00:27:49.897
So this is number one seed versus number 10.

00:27:49.897 --> 00:27:52.239
Because, silas, weren't you the number 10 seed coming in?

00:27:52.930 --> 00:27:56.039
Yeah, I'm like the we Believe Warriors right now.

00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:57.859
It's like the Warriors versus the Mavericks.

00:27:58.565 --> 00:28:04.542
Wow, yeah, so this is the number one seed versus number 10 seed, so this is huge.

00:28:04.542 --> 00:28:12.874
So this is David and Goliath, although it's flipped, because David, in this case, is Goliath.

00:28:13.255 --> 00:28:19.285
Well, I don't know about that, but my team, my team, has been fortunate.

00:28:19.285 --> 00:28:27.230
We've we've been relatively injury free.

00:28:27.230 --> 00:28:33.192
And you know, derek, you and I made a great trade.

00:28:33.192 --> 00:28:33.773
Yes, we did, and I I that.

00:28:33.773 --> 00:28:34.315
That was a trade.

00:28:34.315 --> 00:28:37.742
You know, I traded you josh allen and james connor connor, and those two really helped you.

00:28:37.742 --> 00:28:47.300
Yep and uh, but malik neighbors and t higgins have been so steady each week and I think that that's been the key.

00:28:47.300 --> 00:28:51.746
Yeah, because each week the same guys are tough.

00:28:51.746 --> 00:28:54.722
Yeah, but the consistency has been excellent.

00:28:54.722 --> 00:28:55.507
Mm-hmm.

00:28:56.009 --> 00:28:56.130
Yeah.

00:28:56.190 --> 00:28:58.817
I hope my guys can do it one more week.

00:28:59.459 --> 00:29:02.096
One more week, yeah, yeah, you just needed one more week.

00:29:02.096 --> 00:29:09.564
And what was so crazy is you first of all, who trades Josh Allen and then still, you know, gets to the championship.

00:29:09.564 --> 00:29:10.271
But you did that.

00:29:10.271 --> 00:29:20.635
But you had strong enough QB behind him and you had neighbors on your team, originally Right, and traded them to me, and then I traded them back to you in a package for Allen.

00:29:20.635 --> 00:29:21.097
That's right.

00:29:21.097 --> 00:29:32.057
So we did a lot of wheeling and dealing there, but, yeah, you definitely had some amazing GM skills, both of you to get here, and then Silas, with you not having your number one pick, you know that was huge.

00:29:32.057 --> 00:29:33.939
So it's going to be a great matchup.

00:29:33.939 --> 00:29:35.060
We are excited.

00:29:35.060 --> 00:29:40.146
So you both are going to get this new retro Pick'em Pro hoodie.

00:29:40.750 --> 00:29:42.186
Wow, you're both getting that no matter what.

00:29:42.207 --> 00:29:42.490
Thank you, man.

00:29:42.769 --> 00:29:46.500
So that's for first and second place, so that's coming to you, no matter what.

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:48.069
For first and second place, so that's coming to you, no matter what.

00:29:48.069 --> 00:29:52.338
We'll talk to you offline and figure out what colorway you want it, because we've got it in many different colorways.

00:29:52.338 --> 00:29:56.176
So we've got a cowboy colorway, we've got all types of colorways.

00:29:56.176 --> 00:29:58.818
So let us know what you want there.

00:29:58.818 --> 00:30:02.220
But then, of course, the winner is going to be the.

00:30:02.220 --> 00:30:05.800
You know, this isn't the Lombardi, this is the Thompson.

00:30:08.230 --> 00:30:08.940
It's going to look nice on my shelf.

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:09.670
It's going to look nice on my shelf.

00:30:11.574 --> 00:30:13.380
Yeah, I've already cleared off the space.

00:30:13.380 --> 00:30:18.861
I was doing some Christmas cleaning and I got it.

00:30:18.861 --> 00:30:23.038
I've got a spot right there ready for it, man.

00:30:23.659 --> 00:30:24.942
Love it, love it.

00:30:25.502 --> 00:30:26.124
That's awesome.

00:30:27.092 --> 00:30:28.797
Can I ask Diego a question?

00:30:28.797 --> 00:30:32.077
Yes, yes I would love to hear Diego.

00:30:32.077 --> 00:30:37.561
Who does Diego think will win between Silas and my team this weekend?

00:30:38.490 --> 00:30:44.255
No, I think I'm going to go with Silas, because his team is strong enough to beat my team.

00:30:44.255 --> 00:30:49.082
So I think any team that was strong enough to beat my team has the ability to win it all.

00:30:49.082 --> 00:30:53.097
And that caused me to brag Like, hey, I lost to the champion.

00:30:53.097 --> 00:30:55.509
I like to hear it.

00:30:55.509 --> 00:30:56.710
That makes me look a little better.

00:30:57.752 --> 00:31:00.381
I will say that Diego's team.

00:31:00.381 --> 00:31:11.657
I had full confidence that I was going to beat them, but my team choked and Diego's team came through strong.

00:31:11.657 --> 00:31:16.682
So that was a surprising win that I felt confident.

00:31:16.682 --> 00:31:20.695
And that's fantasy football you never know what's going to happen.

00:31:21.076 --> 00:31:21.498
That's true.

00:31:21.498 --> 00:31:23.241
Never know, that's true.

00:31:24.373 --> 00:31:25.539
That's why it's always fun.

00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:34.001
True, that's why it's always fun, but another thing is that now the odds do say 64% to 36%.

00:31:34.122 --> 00:31:35.002
Don't listen to them.

00:31:36.265 --> 00:31:42.363
In favor, and so Kelsey got you off to a great start.

00:31:42.363 --> 00:31:43.125
But Flowers.

00:31:43.465 --> 00:31:44.913
Oh, zay Flowers, you know what I'm.

00:31:44.913 --> 00:31:46.009
So done with Zay Flowers.

00:31:46.833 --> 00:31:51.758
The Flowers wilted man, the Flowers wilted man, the Flowers wilted under pressure.

00:31:52.431 --> 00:31:59.338
I'm in two leagues in the championship with Zay Flowers and he completely choked both times.

00:31:59.338 --> 00:32:01.538
It's so unbelievable.

00:32:01.971 --> 00:32:03.215
He's up and down for sure.

00:32:03.215 --> 00:32:05.396
He's definitely an up-and-down receiver.

00:32:05.818 --> 00:32:06.079
Yeah.

00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.316
I'd like to say one more thing, though.

00:32:07.316 --> 00:32:08.804
Yes, he's definitely an up-and-down receiver.

00:32:08.804 --> 00:32:09.808
I'd like to say one more thing, though.

00:32:09.808 --> 00:32:10.990
Yes, david, good luck to you.

00:32:10.990 --> 00:32:15.694
It's an honor to be in this position, considering I squeaked into the playoffs, right?

00:32:15.694 --> 00:32:18.758
Yeah, david has a really talented team.

00:32:18.758 --> 00:32:19.919
It's going to be really fun.

00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:22.181
Fantasy football is all about having fun, right?

00:32:22.181 --> 00:32:23.182
Yeah?

00:32:23.182 --> 00:32:26.984
Thank you, derek, for making this league and giving the sweaters to us.

00:32:26.984 --> 00:32:33.077
I'm very grateful for that, you know?

00:32:33.097 --> 00:32:36.148
yeah, it's been a really fun league, so I can't wait to end it off with me winning.

00:32:37.231 --> 00:32:37.855
Can't wait for that.

00:32:37.855 --> 00:32:41.615
And oh, dc, I got to preview one thing for you.

00:32:41.615 --> 00:32:47.511
I told you I had a special hat for you, so this is courtesy of a wife here for Christmas.

00:32:47.511 --> 00:32:57.217
So, jerry Jones Thompson, I was told that the hat that he had was getting a little stale and old and didn't quite represent Cowboy Nation.

00:32:57.217 --> 00:33:00.213
So we got an upgrade here.

00:33:00.875 --> 00:33:02.019
Show us the upgrade.

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:09.749
I got a, I got a, I got a Stetson Wow.

00:33:11.796 --> 00:33:12.679
That's a really nice hat.

00:33:13.413 --> 00:33:15.750
Yes, this is a Stetson boy hat.

00:33:15.750 --> 00:33:26.436
So now, whenever, jerry, when, when it's time for Jerry Jones Thompson to come back, he will definitely Prognosticate the proper way.

00:33:26.436 --> 00:33:26.920
Yes, sir, you can book it.

00:33:26.920 --> 00:33:28.068
So, david, he will definitely prognosticate the proper way?

00:33:28.088 --> 00:33:28.230
Yes, sir.

00:33:28.912 --> 00:33:29.674
You can book it.

00:33:29.674 --> 00:33:34.619
So, david, yes, sir, I know you've got him right where you want him.

00:33:34.660 --> 00:33:35.301
That's right.

00:33:35.301 --> 00:33:38.579
I've got you right where I want you?

00:33:39.251 --> 00:33:40.016
I don't know about that.

00:33:40.016 --> 00:33:41.519
I don't know about that.

00:33:43.511 --> 00:33:46.460
And one last thing I want to say, if it's okay, dt.

00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:50.817
Yes, I think I've heard you mention the name Summer.

00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:56.401
Yes, yes, she's behind the scenes managing the comments and everything.

00:33:56.401 --> 00:33:57.855
Does all our social media.

00:33:58.190 --> 00:33:59.073
Was that the Summer?

00:33:59.073 --> 00:34:00.096
Who was in our league?

00:34:00.376 --> 00:34:02.474
Yes, yep, and she can hear you right now.

00:34:03.017 --> 00:34:03.218
Okay.

00:34:03.218 --> 00:34:24.324
Well, I just want to say to Summer great job, yes, because her team was scraping the bottom of the basement Yep Entire year, and I would much prefer to play Diego than to have to play Summer this Sunday, Because her team would wax Diego.

00:34:24.324 --> 00:34:26.476
Yeah, it is on fire.

00:34:26.476 --> 00:34:34.317
And so I just want to commend Summer for her good work and her perseverance, because she believed in her team.

00:34:34.550 --> 00:34:36.438
Yes, she did, she did.

00:34:37.010 --> 00:34:38.889
And I'm just being silly with Silas.

00:34:38.889 --> 00:34:42.798
I know he knows I love him and I love his.

00:34:42.798 --> 00:34:48.360
He has a great team too, but I was so impressed that Summer just stuck with it.

00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:53.242
She believed in her team and, man, at the end of the year her team just took off.

00:34:53.463 --> 00:34:55.010
Oh yeah, it did Really impressive.

00:34:55.010 --> 00:34:58.059
I was lucky to get by her the last game of the season.

00:34:58.059 --> 00:35:05.460
I was lucky because I needed that win for the bye and I think Judy went like crazy that last week.

00:35:05.929 --> 00:35:07.293
And I won by less than a point.

00:35:07.793 --> 00:35:09.717
So I was so lucky to win.

00:35:09.717 --> 00:35:13.202
Yeah, if she got into the playoffs she would have been a problem.

00:35:13.423 --> 00:35:16.534
I know that's right.

00:35:16.534 --> 00:35:21.302
Dt and Diego and all of you just thank you for letting us be a part of this.

00:35:21.302 --> 00:35:29.320
It was such a fun time and I hope that we can get invited to come back again next year and I'm looking forward to defending my championship.

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:36.148
And, diego, you know, let the best team win.

00:35:36.148 --> 00:35:38.978
All right, and thanks for everything, derek and Diego.

00:35:38.978 --> 00:35:40.474
We appreciate y'all so much.

00:35:40.856 --> 00:35:42.835
And you bet we appreciate you guys All right.

00:35:42.835 --> 00:35:47.155
Well, good luck to you, and we'll be talking to you in a couple of days Sounds great.

Good luck you and we'll be, talking to you in a couple of days Sounds great.

00:35:50.721 --> 00:35:51.782
Good luck, all right.

00:35:51.782 --> 00:35:56.755
Bye-bye, all right, thank you, cool, okay, all right, so that was awesome.

00:35:56.755 --> 00:35:59.255
Let's see, we're going to go to our island picks in a second.

00:35:59.255 --> 00:36:01.637
But let's see, do we have any questions?

00:36:01.637 --> 00:36:07.172
Summer, nope, okay, nope, are we are clear?

00:36:07.172 --> 00:36:13.550
All right, good deal, good deal, and we will be touching on, uh, college football playoffs next episode too.

00:36:13.550 --> 00:36:21.353
So just so you know that, all right, well, let's, uh, we're gonna go into our island picks here next in a minute.

00:36:21.353 --> 00:36:27.032
So, uh, we'll have a quick little, quick little uh transition and we're gonna go to our island.

00:36:27.032 --> 00:36:28.637
We're going to go to the island man.

00:36:28.637 --> 00:36:35.253
I know I have the cowboy hat.

00:36:35.253 --> 00:36:37.436
We're going to the island.

00:36:37.436 --> 00:36:41.869
All right, we are back.

00:36:41.869 --> 00:36:44.530
We are back, we are on the island man.

00:36:44.530 --> 00:36:49.054
Yes, yes, all right, don't be confused by my accent here.

00:36:49.054 --> 00:36:55.117
Okay, so let's get into these island pics and let's bring the one and only Brianna on.

00:36:55.117 --> 00:36:56.608
Brianna, what's up?

00:36:56.608 --> 00:36:58.875
All right, how you doing.

00:36:59.356 --> 00:36:59.757
I'm good.

00:36:59.757 --> 00:37:02.675
It's a beautiful day outside today, so I'm just in such a good mood.

00:37:03.485 --> 00:37:05.806
Good, good, good, fantastic.

00:37:05.806 --> 00:37:09.396
I'm sure I made your mood better with the, the accent, the island accent.

00:37:09.396 --> 00:37:13.034
I know it was for sure, yes, I loved it thank you, see you, thank you.

00:37:13.094 --> 00:37:14.137
Thank you so much, brie.

00:37:14.137 --> 00:37:18.231
All right, cool, cool.

00:37:18.231 --> 00:37:20.735
Well, we have got six games.

00:37:20.735 --> 00:37:22.838
First of all, that hoodie's looking fire.

00:37:22.838 --> 00:37:24.246
You got the yep.

00:37:24.246 --> 00:37:26.612
The detroit lions themed yeah, themed.

00:37:26.612 --> 00:37:28.557
Pick'em Pros retro hoodie.

00:37:28.557 --> 00:37:29.650
So it's looking good.

00:37:29.650 --> 00:37:31.271
Yes, those will be available.

00:37:31.271 --> 00:37:33.532
Those will be available by our King show.

00:37:33.532 --> 00:37:38.476
So we're working out a few things here to be able to produce a larger quantity.

00:37:38.476 --> 00:37:43.016
They've passed all the quality tests and I think they're good to go.

00:37:43.016 --> 00:37:46.425
We've gotten rave reviews on them so we'll be rolling those out soon.

00:37:46.425 --> 00:37:49.646
So those of you watching you'll be able to get those in a couple of weeks.

00:37:49.646 --> 00:37:51.206
We'll have them available, all right.

00:37:52.327 --> 00:37:55.369
Well, I think three games separates us.

00:37:55.369 --> 00:37:59.110
So this is the final week of our matchup between the four of us.

00:37:59.110 --> 00:38:01.230
So Diego has got a one-game lead.

00:38:01.230 --> 00:38:03.871
Chris is one game back from Diego, diego's in the lead.

00:38:03.871 --> 00:38:06.612
Chris is one game back from Diego, diego's in the lead.

00:38:06.612 --> 00:38:08.152
Chris is one game back.

00:38:08.152 --> 00:38:10.454
Then Bree is just one game back from there.

00:38:10.454 --> 00:38:12.474
So Bree has gained a game from last week.

00:38:12.693 --> 00:38:14.755
That Cowboys pick was huge.

00:38:14.755 --> 00:38:18.036
You were right on that Cowboys game, so that got you into it.

00:38:18.036 --> 00:38:22.597
You chipped into that lead and then I'm just right there behind you guys.

00:38:22.597 --> 00:38:28.278
So of course, that Panthers win was bold and great for me and really stole the show last week.

00:38:28.278 --> 00:38:31.481
But you know I won't take the shine from you guys.

00:38:31.481 --> 00:38:33.340
It's all about you guys, all right.

00:38:33.340 --> 00:38:34.601
So here we go.

00:38:34.601 --> 00:38:37.202
Let's go into our first island game here.

00:38:37.202 --> 00:38:41.724
We've got the Green Bay Packers traveling to Minnesota to play the Vikings.

00:38:41.724 --> 00:38:48.271
The Packers was the team that I boldly said was the best in the NFC.

00:38:48.271 --> 00:38:50.300
So of course y'all know where I stand on this game.

00:38:50.300 --> 00:38:52.451
Bree, where are you on this game?

00:38:53.206 --> 00:38:54.972
I have the Packers on this game.

00:38:56.385 --> 00:38:59.155
Okay, yeah, Bree is with me on the Packers.

00:38:59.155 --> 00:39:00.369
We're both on this side.

00:39:00.369 --> 00:39:02.572
I think you guys are on the opposite side.

00:39:03.045 --> 00:39:04.190
Diego, where do you stand?

00:39:04.190 --> 00:39:07.291
I'm with the Vikings in this game.

00:39:07.291 --> 00:39:08.715
They're at home, they're hot right now.

00:39:08.715 --> 00:39:09.677
Diego, where do you stand?

00:39:09.677 --> 00:39:11.382
I'm with the Vikings in this game.

00:39:11.382 --> 00:39:12.284
They're at home, they're hot right now.

00:39:12.284 --> 00:39:13.266
I'm just going with them.

00:39:13.266 --> 00:39:20.155
I just have the confidence in Sam Darnold and the defense and Justin Jefferson and all the receivers they got.

00:39:20.155 --> 00:39:22.231
I'm just confident in them.

00:39:22.231 --> 00:39:24.070
Home field advantage as well.

00:39:24.411 --> 00:39:31.951
Okay, I believe that the Vikings definitely want their fight for the 1C to come down in Week 18.

00:39:31.951 --> 00:39:35.916
So they're going to come out with very great aggression in this game.

00:39:35.916 --> 00:39:37.570
I believe they're going to beat the Packers.

00:39:37.570 --> 00:39:50.045
It's going to be a close one, but you know, if Jordan Love has his typical you know interception here or there, I think the Vikings are going to get this one and they're going to have another cool celebration to end the game in the end zone.

00:39:50.045 --> 00:39:51.148
Ooh, okay.

00:39:53.309 --> 00:39:54.844
That happens a lot in Minnesota.

00:39:54.844 --> 00:40:00.733
They seem to get lucky and have a lot of miracle finishes, but I don't think that's happening.

00:40:00.733 --> 00:40:04.615
Man, jordan Love and those guys, they're firing on all cylinders.

00:40:04.615 --> 00:40:12.697
They're a complete team, they're ready, they smell blood in the water and they're going to go in there, ready to make a statement and show.

00:40:12.697 --> 00:40:20.036
I think the Vikings have been playing a punching above their weight and I think this is a game that's slightly out of their, out of their weight class.

00:40:20.036 --> 00:40:22.934
They should not be a two loss team at this point.

00:40:22.934 --> 00:40:27.297
So they're just ready to go ahead and get another another loss.

00:40:27.297 --> 00:40:28.112
That's my take.

00:40:28.112 --> 00:40:31.253
Uh, brie, any, any other comments on on this one?

00:40:31.976 --> 00:40:32.237
yeah.

00:40:32.237 --> 00:40:34.005
So the vikings, they have an eight game winning streak.

00:40:34.005 --> 00:40:38.056
So I think that's about to come to the end of that because the packers they've been hot.

00:40:38.056 --> 00:40:41.873
They just had their first shutout game of the whole season, like everywhere.

00:40:41.873 --> 00:40:45.891
So I think the packers aren't gonna let them get this ninth game winning streak.

00:40:46.612 --> 00:40:48.378
Yeah, yeah, totally agree.

00:40:48.378 --> 00:40:48.865
All right.

00:40:48.865 --> 00:40:54.655
So me and Bree are on the same side here, taking you guys down and boom, just getting another game on you.

00:40:54.655 --> 00:41:02.038
So you guys got to watch out here, all right, so let's go to the next one.

00:41:02.038 --> 00:41:04.594
We've got the Broncos versus the Bengals.

00:41:04.594 --> 00:41:07.132
Okay, man, now this is a tough one.

00:41:07.132 --> 00:41:11.233
This can really go either way, and again, we are split on this one.

00:41:11.233 --> 00:41:13.353
Bree, who do you have in this one?

00:41:13.965 --> 00:41:19.844
I have the Broncos because Bo Nix has really just been playing pretty good, for I mean, he's been pretty good.

00:41:19.844 --> 00:41:28.547
I feel like he reminds me of Peyton Manning a little bit right now, in this time of his career, so I think he's really just going to focus on this game and get that win.

00:41:29.168 --> 00:41:32.269
Okay, all right, yep, he's looking good.

00:41:32.269 --> 00:41:33.769
Diego, who do you have?

00:41:34.190 --> 00:41:37.132
I'm also going with the Broncos, the Bengals.

00:41:37.132 --> 00:41:41.695
They just let me down too many times in these games.

00:41:41.695 --> 00:41:45.476
It seems like earlier on in the season when they had to have it, they kept on losing.

00:41:45.476 --> 00:41:47.697
Then they played a few bad teams here.

00:41:47.697 --> 00:41:50.420
These last few games they've been able to win.

00:41:50.420 --> 00:41:52.300
But the Broncos, they're a good team.

00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:55.842
They're 9-6 and fighting for a playoff spot.

00:41:55.842 --> 00:42:02.923
So I think Bo Nix will play like Peyton Manning against this awful defense and get the win.

00:42:02.943 --> 00:42:05.769
Okay okay, Young guns are on the same side on this one.

00:42:05.769 --> 00:42:09.358
Where do you stand on this one, Chris?

00:42:10.139 --> 00:42:19.833
Look, I'm liking the run that the Bengals are putting together with Joe Burrow and Jabbar and I do think it's going to be really interesting seeing the matchup between Jabbar and Pat Sertain.

00:42:19.833 --> 00:42:22.452
But I don't know.

00:42:22.452 --> 00:42:29.255
I like how the Bengals are getting towards the end of this season and, you know, I think that they'll come away with a win.

00:42:29.255 --> 00:42:32.532
Now, are they still going to make the playoffs?

00:42:32.532 --> 00:42:39.675
That's yet to be seen, but I still think they want to go out, you know, with some good things to say, like towards the end of the season, yeah, okay.

00:42:40.237 --> 00:42:40.556
All right.

00:42:40.556 --> 00:42:41.909
Well, yeah, I'm with you, man.

00:42:42.471 --> 00:42:50.487
Old heads unite, all right unite, all right, yeah, yeah, you a little older head right there.

00:42:50.507 --> 00:42:56.079
But all right, all right, you know 22 over here, guys, just just I basically look 22 yeah, I'm there with you, man, I'm with you.

00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:59.371
So we got the teens they're the teens and we're.

00:42:59.371 --> 00:43:04.045
We're in the 20s, you know I'm saying 20s, 20s, unite, yes, yes.

00:43:04.166 --> 00:43:07.748
So cincinnati bangles yeah, man, they're looking good.

00:43:07.748 --> 00:43:13.635
Ooh, everybody better Pray that they don't get in the playoffs, because that's the dangerous team right there.

00:43:13.635 --> 00:43:19.420
So, yeah, as long as they stay out, then you know, I think things will go the way that most people think.

00:43:19.420 --> 00:43:20.661
But the Bengals are tough.

00:43:20.661 --> 00:43:21.641
The Bengals are not scared.

00:43:21.641 --> 00:43:24.326
The defense has been shaky, but the Bengals, they're at home, they.

00:43:24.326 --> 00:43:25.126
But the Bengals, they're at home.

00:43:25.126 --> 00:43:26.307
They need to have this one.

00:43:26.307 --> 00:43:31.431
I think they find a way to well, they do find a way to get this one All right.

00:43:31.431 --> 00:43:32.672
So we're split on this one.

00:43:32.672 --> 00:43:34.894
There's another one where we inch a little closer.

00:43:34.894 --> 00:43:41.280
The next game where we're split 2-2, the Tennessee Titans versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.

00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:49.905
Now, this is probably more of a coin flip one I think we just happen to be.

00:43:49.905 --> 00:43:51.288
The Jags are just the one game favorite.

00:43:51.288 --> 00:43:52.489
So I don't think anybody's bold about this one here.

00:43:52.489 --> 00:43:53.070
But, bree, what side are you?

00:43:53.110 --> 00:43:53.429
on for this one.

00:43:53.429 --> 00:43:59.297
Yeah, I have the Titans on this one because they're on a four game losing streak, so I think it's their time to get a game.

00:43:59.297 --> 00:44:00.619
And they're both.

00:44:00.619 --> 00:44:06.389
They both play the same way, but the Jaguars, they struggle more with their consistency, with their offense and everything.

00:44:06.389 --> 00:44:12.278
So for me it just makes sense for the Titans to win this game, since they're on a losing streak.

00:44:13.385 --> 00:44:16.608
Okay, yeah, I'm going to break that streak, and not really.

00:44:16.608 --> 00:44:21.885
They've still been trying to win, so you know they're not like some of the other teams there.

00:44:21.885 --> 00:44:25.014
But okay, chris, who do you have?

00:44:25.485 --> 00:44:26.650
Out of the Titans in this one.

00:44:26.650 --> 00:44:28.036
I'm just I don't know.

00:44:28.036 --> 00:44:30.271
It's very hard to pick this game.

00:44:30.271 --> 00:44:32.833
It's just, you know, hard watching the season y'all.

00:44:32.833 --> 00:44:33.889
It's not going to be great.

00:44:34.326 --> 00:44:39.434
So, I definitely have a tendency in this, so you're not going to be watching this one specifically Not at all, not at all.

00:44:40.827 --> 00:44:44.248
Okay, all right man Anybody who willfully watches this game.

00:44:44.248 --> 00:44:48.998
You love the game of football to an intensity that we should be concerned.

00:44:49.666 --> 00:44:50.550
You are a fan.

00:44:50.550 --> 00:44:51.827
You are a real fan.

00:44:51.827 --> 00:44:52.791
If you're watching this one.

00:44:52.791 --> 00:44:57.070
You're a real fan, for sure, much more than we are, and we have a show.

00:44:57.070 --> 00:45:02.068
Alright, alright, diego.

00:45:02.068 --> 00:45:02.751
Who do you have?

00:45:03.224 --> 00:45:04.869
I'm going with the Jags in this one.

00:45:04.869 --> 00:45:11.793
Both these teams are really similar, but the Jags I just have more confidence in their roster.

00:45:11.793 --> 00:45:14.806
They're not saying their roster is great, but I mean they do.

00:45:14.806 --> 00:45:21.614
Have you know, etienne and Bigsby in the backfield and Brian Thomas at the receiver.

00:45:21.614 --> 00:45:24.849
He's been playing well, so I'm going to go with them.

00:45:24.849 --> 00:45:26.775
I've never heard of him, brian Thomas.

00:45:27.005 --> 00:45:29.371
Brian Thomas he's playing great.

00:45:29.391 --> 00:45:30.074
That's LSU fan.

00:45:30.074 --> 00:45:30.795
He's playing great.

00:45:31.144 --> 00:45:31.565
Thomas.

00:45:31.565 --> 00:45:41.297
He's having one of the better rookie seasons out of the rookie receivers, and him and Malik are again the two best rookie receivers other than the guy in Arizona.

00:45:41.297 --> 00:45:46.791
Sorry, bree, I don't mean to talk bad about Marvin Harrison, but he's locking them up.

00:45:46.791 --> 00:45:49.889
They've been doing their thing Okay.

00:45:50.432 --> 00:45:54.331
All right, yeah, I got the Jags as well.

00:45:54.331 --> 00:46:08.909
The Jags and that amazing home field advantage is going to pull through and I think that stadium is going to be rocking man, we might have to make the drive down there Might be rocking for them to lose, so they can get a higher draft pick I

00:46:08.949 --> 00:46:09.677
wonder how much tickets.

00:46:12.411 --> 00:46:13.849
I wonder how much tickets will be for this.

00:46:13.849 --> 00:46:17.344
One Might be cheaper than the Panthers tickets were last year.

00:46:17.344 --> 00:46:18.688
Yeah, last year.

00:46:18.688 --> 00:46:21.806
Alright, okay, alright.

00:46:21.806 --> 00:46:22.608
So let's split on that.

00:46:22.608 --> 00:46:25.152
So let's get to some slightly better games here.

00:46:25.152 --> 00:46:28.451
This next game we've got Atlanta Falcons.

00:46:28.565 --> 00:46:34.594
Breeze Falcons travel to Washington to play the commanders, the team that upset the Eagles last week.

00:46:34.594 --> 00:46:40.065
So I have in that vision that I have, am going with the Atlanta Falcons.

00:46:40.065 --> 00:46:43.954
Yes, I am not going with the home team that had the great win there.

00:46:43.954 --> 00:46:44.396
No, no, no.

00:46:44.396 --> 00:46:46.693
You guys are fooled by that.

00:46:46.693 --> 00:46:47.887
As usual.

00:46:47.887 --> 00:46:49.411
Y'all are looking at.

00:46:49.411 --> 00:46:51.076
You got recency bias here.

00:46:51.076 --> 00:46:55.396
You got to look at, you got to anticipate what's going to happen here.

00:46:55.396 --> 00:46:57.349
Okay, and I see the Falcons man.

00:46:57.349 --> 00:46:58.695
They got that bad boy.

00:46:58.695 --> 00:47:03.552
Michael Pinnock Jr has taken over, looked amazing last week.

00:47:03.552 --> 00:47:06.494
He's going to march in there and snatch that win.

00:47:06.494 --> 00:47:08.092
Commander is going to take him lightly.

00:47:08.092 --> 00:47:12.476
And the Falcons have taken over first place in the division.

00:47:12.476 --> 00:47:13.630
So they've got to win.

00:47:13.630 --> 00:47:17.094
They've got to get this win and continue to win and hold the Bucs off.

00:47:17.094 --> 00:47:19.793
And, yeah, I think they get this win.

00:47:19.793 --> 00:47:21.952
So, bree, you going to switch to my side.

00:47:23.945 --> 00:47:27.806
Unfortunately, as much as I love the Falcons, no, the Commanders.

00:47:27.806 --> 00:47:32.518
They want the NFC East title, so I don't think they're going to lose that game.

00:47:32.518 --> 00:47:35.827
And the Falcons, they're not as good as the Commanders are, Unfortunately.

00:47:35.827 --> 00:47:39.536
As much as I hate to say that, yeah, it's just no.

00:47:41.047 --> 00:47:41.369
Okay.

00:47:41.369 --> 00:47:45.809
All right All right, okay, and Washington is a four and a half point favorite, all right.

00:47:45.809 --> 00:47:48.376
So their home team, they're still in it, they can still win.

00:47:48.376 --> 00:47:50.487
That division had a big win, so they're going to ride.

00:47:50.487 --> 00:47:52.952
That momentum says breathe.

00:47:52.952 --> 00:47:53.934
What do you say, diego?

00:47:54.295 --> 00:47:56.871
Yeah, I agree, I'm gonna go with the commanders.

00:47:56.871 --> 00:47:59.565
The Falcons don't have the best defense.

00:47:59.565 --> 00:48:05.550
I think their offense commanders offense is going to go is going to go crazy in this one.

00:48:05.550 --> 00:48:09.867
Kyle Pitts can't catch the ball.

00:48:09.867 --> 00:48:15.590
Sorry, that's just fact.

00:48:15.590 --> 00:48:21.614
The one interception Penix had, it went right off of his hands into the defenders.

00:48:21.614 --> 00:48:24.373
I'm going with the commanders.

00:48:25.146 --> 00:48:25.728
I'm sorry.

00:48:25.728 --> 00:48:38.811
The fact that they beat the Giants of all teams that's giving you confidence going into the next week versus the commanders, a team who had five turnovers in a great Saquon Barkley first quarter and still managed to win that game.

00:48:38.811 --> 00:48:40.510
I'm sorry.

00:48:40.510 --> 00:48:41.927
What are we doing here, man?

00:48:41.927 --> 00:48:43.914
I'm very concerned.

00:48:43.914 --> 00:48:47.134
Look, we got the rookie of the year.

00:48:47.134 --> 00:48:50.190
This is going to be his coordination of the Sunday night football.

00:48:50.190 --> 00:48:51.751
This is going to be his crowding moment.

00:48:51.751 --> 00:48:55.304
And like yeah in a season full of crowding moments.

00:48:55.545 --> 00:48:59.226
I think that Jaden Daigles is going to do his thing again, Even if it's close.

00:48:59.226 --> 00:49:00.005
I trust Jaden.

00:49:00.005 --> 00:49:01.347
If I have to do his thing, All right.

00:49:01.726 --> 00:49:03.347
All right, we're going to see.

00:49:03.347 --> 00:49:06.190
It's going to be the rookie QB showdown here.

00:49:06.190 --> 00:49:07.931
All right, we're going to see what happens here.

00:49:07.931 --> 00:49:09.313
But I'm on an island with that one.

00:49:09.313 --> 00:49:12.255
Okay, another game where I'm on an island by myself.

00:49:12.255 --> 00:49:16.338
The Las Vegas Raiders travel to New Orleans to play the Saints.

00:49:16.338 --> 00:49:23.623
I've got the Raiders in this one Only because the Raiders seem to be still going for wins.

00:49:23.623 --> 00:49:32.431
Coming off the win last week, now you would think they'd be trying to tank, trying to get Shador or whatnot, but they're clearly trying to win.

00:49:32.431 --> 00:49:34.130
So that's the only reason I'm picking them.

00:49:34.130 --> 00:49:38.932
It's because both teams should be tanking and they look like a team that wants to win.

00:49:38.932 --> 00:49:40.550
So that's who I'm going with.

00:49:40.550 --> 00:49:42.170
We'll switch the order here.

00:49:42.170 --> 00:49:42.992
Who you got, diego?

00:49:43.485 --> 00:49:44.947
I don't think the Saints are tanking.

00:49:44.947 --> 00:49:45.989
I think the Saints are tanking.

00:49:45.989 --> 00:49:57.514
I think the Saints are trying to win just because they've got a few games throughout the course of the year and even though they are heavily injured, I still believe that the home field advantage is a big thing.

00:49:57.514 --> 00:50:04.856
The crowd's going to be rocking and I just this isn't a great game.

00:50:04.856 --> 00:50:08.414
I'm just going to pick the Saints coin flip because of their home field.

00:50:08.514 --> 00:50:08.855
Okay.

00:50:08.855 --> 00:50:11.791
But yeah, I'm picking the Saints in this one.

00:50:11.791 --> 00:50:21.048
I just think the Saints are going to do their whole purgatory act, finish with like 78 wins and then, you know, head to the off season thinking like, hey, what do we need to do?

00:50:21.268 --> 00:50:23.275
to do to all the people that were hurt.

00:50:23.505 --> 00:50:23.987
Exactly.

00:50:23.987 --> 00:50:28.887
We signed all the hurt people not drafted quarterback and just stay in perpetual midness.

00:50:28.887 --> 00:50:33.922
So that's kind of what we're gonna see from the new world sounds like the saints.

00:50:34.164 --> 00:50:35.708
Okay, what about you, brie?

00:50:36.449 --> 00:50:38.094
yeah, I have the saints for this one.

00:50:38.094 --> 00:50:39.317
The raiders, they're not good.

00:50:39.317 --> 00:50:46.130
I know they're still going for the wins, but I don't think they're gonna win this game, even though they only have like one player out right now and it's just a guard player.

00:50:46.130 --> 00:50:52.579
So I feel like it's gonna be like a good game, but not too good, or everyone's gonna go crazy for it okay, all right.

00:50:52.699 --> 00:50:55.190
Okay, everyone's going with the home team except me.

00:50:55.190 --> 00:50:57.800
This will be another one where I climb in there.

00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:00.228
Oh, snatched at the end, I like it.

00:51:00.228 --> 00:51:00.728
I like it.

00:51:00.728 --> 00:51:01.851
Okay, all right.

00:51:01.851 --> 00:51:06.007
The last island game before we get to our mvp race debate.

00:51:06.007 --> 00:51:13.380
We've got the carolina panthers coming off of that win that I predicted that I called on an island last week.

00:51:13.380 --> 00:51:16.353
They now travel to Tampa to play the Bucs.

00:51:16.353 --> 00:51:19.472
Yeah, and let's see.

00:51:19.472 --> 00:51:26.927
So it appeared that we had Chris on an island for this one, but we may have some shifting here, so let's go around.

00:51:26.927 --> 00:51:27.304
Let's start with Bree.

00:51:27.304 --> 00:51:27.523
Who do you have in this one?

00:51:27.523 --> 00:51:28.956
Yeah, I have the Bucs for this one, but we may have some shifting here, so let's go around.

00:51:28.956 --> 00:51:29.231
Let's start with Bree.

00:51:29.231 --> 00:51:30.235
Who do you have in this one?

00:51:30.885 --> 00:51:36.331
Yeah, I have the Bucs for this one because they beat the Panthers last time 26-23 in overtime.

00:51:36.331 --> 00:51:38.291
So I think it was a close game.

00:51:38.291 --> 00:51:43.706
But I think the Bucs are going to win it again, just because the Panthers don't really have a lot going for them right now anyway.

00:51:43.706 --> 00:51:46.548
So I'm going to for them right now anyway, and let's go with the Bucs on this one.

00:51:47.250 --> 00:51:51.333
Okay, all right, we're going with the Bucs on this one, diego.

00:51:51.333 --> 00:51:55.217
Mr Supposed-to-be Carolina Panther, who do you have in this one, diego, for?

00:51:55.237 --> 00:51:55.637
the record.

00:51:55.637 --> 00:51:57.858
We should have won that game against Bucs.

00:51:57.858 --> 00:52:06.269
We just got the first down, we were in field goal range and then Chuba fumbled while we were in field goal range.

00:52:06.269 --> 00:52:08.539
We were about to kick it, so real ones know that we should have won that game.

00:52:08.539 --> 00:52:12.275
I just had to get that off my chest because that was a pretty bad game.

00:52:12.644 --> 00:52:13.047
Anyway.

00:52:13.387 --> 00:52:14.833
I'm picking the Bucs for this one.

00:52:14.833 --> 00:52:16.050
This is a part of my strategy.

00:52:16.050 --> 00:52:18.347
A part of my strategy.

00:52:18.347 --> 00:52:20.153
This is what I do, part of your strategy.

00:52:20.153 --> 00:52:22.672
Okay, yeah, the Bucs are fighting for the NFC South.

00:52:23.333 --> 00:52:33.190
Still, and yeah, and the still and uh, yeah, and the bucks, bucks at home, they got the home field advantage.

00:52:33.190 --> 00:52:33.891
So, yeah, I'm going with them.

00:52:33.891 --> 00:52:34.552
Wow, you're going with them.

00:52:34.552 --> 00:52:36.356
Okay, very interesting, interesting man.

00:52:36.356 --> 00:52:40.293
Well, you know, we may have to, we may have to not produce any more of these.

00:52:40.293 --> 00:52:41.094
So we had.

00:52:41.094 --> 00:52:52.490
So johnny yo, if you're watching, johnny yo coined the phrase diego army last, and he coined that when Diego was down several games to Dez and me and then Diego went on a run and won.

00:52:52.490 --> 00:52:55.556
A whole bunch in a row, coined the phrase Diego Army and won.

00:52:55.556 --> 00:52:58.775
So we've got this shirt for him and his Panther fandom.

00:52:58.775 --> 00:53:03.195
So that's the shirt.

00:53:03.195 --> 00:53:07.074
And then the back right there.

00:53:07.074 --> 00:53:07.817
It's cool.

00:53:07.817 --> 00:53:11.867
So his Panther theme says loyalty.

00:53:11.867 --> 00:53:12.329
Wow, carolina panthers.

00:53:12.329 --> 00:53:13.434
But here he is going against the team.

00:53:13.434 --> 00:53:15.782
So, chris, that's for you.

00:53:15.822 --> 00:53:27.994
Man, appreciate your shot, your shirt go ahead and give us your pick all right, I am picking the carolina panthers because one, we do have a lot of momentum going into this game.

00:53:27.994 --> 00:53:38.295
I mean, we kind of broke the moral victory streak last week with being the Cardinals and I do think that seeing the walk off with Truba Hubbard, that definitely was encouraging.

00:53:38.295 --> 00:53:42.028
Now is Mike Evans going to, you know, get us a thousand yards against us.

00:53:42.028 --> 00:53:43.351
Most likely, most likely.

00:53:43.351 --> 00:53:51.351
But you know, I think that if we make enough plays and the defense locks in for a couple drives, we're definitely going to win this game.

00:53:51.351 --> 00:53:59.715
And you know, as a Panthers fan I've kind of grown past the whole like oh, we're going to tank and then we're going to get a high draft pick.

00:53:59.715 --> 00:54:07.753
Typically how it goes is we always win a couple games you don't expect and then we lose our draft position, so pretty sure that's going to happen this week and then we're going to lose next week.

00:54:09.764 --> 00:54:13.431
Okay, and I'm going to go Panthers.

00:54:13.431 --> 00:54:14.753
I'm going Panthers.

00:54:14.753 --> 00:54:16.016
On this, I'm changing my pick.

00:54:16.016 --> 00:54:20.447
I initially was going Bucks, I'm going Panthers.

00:54:20.447 --> 00:54:22.813
Excuse me, carolina Panthers.

00:54:22.813 --> 00:54:24.677
Yep, that's my pick man.

00:54:24.677 --> 00:54:25.938
I picked them last week.

00:54:25.938 --> 00:54:27.369
They won.

00:54:27.369 --> 00:54:29.958
I'm going with them again, all right, yeah.

00:54:29.980 --> 00:54:33.650
So, Diego, see what happens, man, We'll see man All right?

00:54:33.952 --> 00:54:38.373
Okay, all right, carolina Panthers man, we'll pull this one out and chase you guys down.

00:54:38.373 --> 00:54:39.449
All right, you guys ready to talk?

00:54:39.449 --> 00:54:39.791
Mvp.

00:54:39.791 --> 00:54:42.452
Yep All right, let's get into this.

00:54:42.452 --> 00:54:47.168
This is going to be all fun, okay, mvp race Diego, start us off.

00:54:47.168 --> 00:54:48.451
Man who you got MVP.

00:54:49.431 --> 00:54:52.534
I'm going with Josh Allen for MVP.

00:54:52.534 --> 00:55:07.648
He's won all the big games, beat Patrick Holmes only QB to do that beat the Lions they only lost two, though he's beat the two best teams in the league.

00:55:07.648 --> 00:55:09.570
Just these crazy games.

00:55:09.570 --> 00:55:27.905
He's putting up with the three passing touchdowns, three rushing, then two passing, two rushing against Detroit, and he's just been balling all year, had these crazy stats and just doing his thing.

00:55:27.905 --> 00:55:33.014
So I think if you win the big games and you put up the good stats, I think you should be MVP.

00:55:34.217 --> 00:55:35.659
Okay, okay, now hold on.

00:55:35.659 --> 00:55:37.793
Let us pause for that, because I think we got three questions.

00:55:37.793 --> 00:55:40.432
So, summer, can you put those questions up?

00:55:40.432 --> 00:55:44.713
We know you got Josh Allen there, but I want to answer these questions because he's there.

00:55:44.713 --> 00:55:50.996
So okay, that, uh, for my wife.

00:55:50.996 --> 00:55:53.186
Uh, exactly, who is my team?

00:55:53.186 --> 00:55:56.490
Um, so it it's complex.

00:55:56.490 --> 00:56:02.840
Uh, I would say my team overall is the carolina.

00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:08.297
Well, you know, it's multiple, I've got, I've got a couple teams, so so I'd say Carolina Panthers are the hometown team.

00:56:08.297 --> 00:56:10.268
Ok, so that's one.

00:56:10.268 --> 00:56:13.056
And then Green Bay Packers are, you know, my team.

00:56:13.056 --> 00:56:15.554
I claimed the Green Bay Packers several, several years ago.

00:56:17.248 --> 00:56:18.550
I was a free agent I went.

00:56:18.630 --> 00:56:36.746
I went through a very detailed free agent process as I was picking my team and for many reasons that I don't have time to go into for the show right now, I selected the Green Bay Packers, but by living here, being a Carolina Panther, I went to believe you know, the first game they ever had and whatnot, in the Bank of America Stadium and all that.

00:56:36.746 --> 00:56:38.454
So you know, but definitely a Panther.

00:56:38.454 --> 00:56:45.873
So those are the top two that I have many other that I like, all right, so that's so.

00:56:45.873 --> 00:56:49.780
Those are some of my teams, but know, I'm I'm more of an nfl guy.

00:56:49.780 --> 00:56:53.949
I'm an nfl guy and of course it's my pick over everything.

00:56:53.949 --> 00:56:56.333
So my pick overrides everything.

00:56:56.333 --> 00:56:57.817
So that's that one, okay.

00:56:57.817 --> 00:57:01.389
What's the other?

00:57:01.389 --> 00:57:04.313
I claim everybody, okay.

00:57:04.313 --> 00:57:04.954
What's the other one?

00:57:04.954 --> 00:57:07.217
The other one is, I think, diego.

00:57:07.217 --> 00:57:09.619
Sounds like he's from any island, that's you.

00:57:12.952 --> 00:57:16.063
Oh man, yes, I definitely sound like I'm from an island.

00:57:16.826 --> 00:57:19.956
I don't know what island, but it's an island Definitely.

00:57:19.956 --> 00:57:24.081
Okay, any other he might be the only resident, but yeah.

00:57:25.188 --> 00:57:25.733
Oh, there we go.

00:57:25.733 --> 00:57:29.273
And then Mikey asked Bree, what's your thoughts on that shirt?

00:57:29.273 --> 00:57:31.070
So I wonder which one?

00:57:31.070 --> 00:57:34.193
Is it probably the one that I held up?

00:57:34.193 --> 00:57:35.137
The Diego Army shirt.

00:57:35.137 --> 00:57:37.012
What's your thoughts on the Diego Army shirt?

00:57:37.012 --> 00:57:37.849
Do you want to show that, chris?

00:57:39.327 --> 00:57:43.269
Yeah, I think it's an amazing shirt, but it's no longer for Diego because he's not loyal anymore.

00:57:43.269 --> 00:57:43.570
Oh man.

00:57:46.106 --> 00:57:47.030
Yes yes.

00:57:49.204 --> 00:57:50.621
It's just a strategy to being a Panther fan.

00:57:50.621 --> 00:58:07.867
You gotta have strategies to make your team win going against them yeah sometimes you gotta do things you're not proud of for your team to win okay, that's his logic there, bert, that is his logic, okay, alright.

00:58:07.887 --> 00:58:10.108
Okay, you got to do things you're not proud of for your team to win, you know?

00:58:10.108 --> 00:58:13.452
Okay, that's his logic there, bird, that is his logic, okay, all right.

00:58:13.452 --> 00:58:14.353
Okay, so great questions.

00:58:14.353 --> 00:58:15.494
Thank you for those.

00:58:15.494 --> 00:58:17.396
Oh, and then thoughts on Lamar.

00:58:17.396 --> 00:58:19.679
So we're going to get into that, mike, we're about to.

00:58:19.679 --> 00:58:21.420
Whoa man, we're about to dive into that.

00:58:34.284 --> 00:58:36.329
So hold on just one second and then if you still have any follow-up questions on lamar, let us know.

00:58:36.329 --> 00:58:38.175
But by by the time um, the three of us go here, I think you'll hear a lot about lamar.

00:58:38.175 --> 00:58:38.677
Okay, so go ahead, chris.

00:58:38.677 --> 00:58:54.175
So due to the early season issues and dysfunction and with how well josh allen was playing, I'm not gonna lie, I was a big josh allen for mvp guy, but but, seeing Lamar Jackson still put up these crazy numbers, still do his thing, and in recent weeks it looks like he's about to win his division.

00:58:55.146 --> 00:58:57.293
I'm just going to say that Lamar Jackson's my MVP.

00:58:57.293 --> 00:59:02.490
Now detractors are going to say oh, he has Derrick Henry, he has all these weapons.

00:59:02.804 --> 00:59:03.427
Do you know how.

00:59:03.427 --> 00:59:05.494
And again, lamar Jackson's my favorite quarterback.

00:59:05.494 --> 00:59:11.934
So I'm going to say this Do you understand how many years we've been waiting for a Lamar has good weapons argument?

00:59:11.934 --> 00:59:21.148
In all the MVP conversation, all I'm going to say is, yes, derek Henry has played well, but let's look at former MVPs and the great players that they had In 2007,.

00:59:21.148 --> 00:59:21.969
Who did Tom Brady?

00:59:21.969 --> 00:59:23.193
Who was Tom Brady throwing to?

00:59:23.856 --> 00:59:24.746
There was a guy, randy.

00:59:24.786 --> 00:59:25.047
Moss.

00:59:25.047 --> 00:59:26.355
Yeah, caught 26 touchdowns.

00:59:26.355 --> 00:59:27.460
They went 18 and out bet.

00:59:27.460 --> 00:59:29.068
Okay, pain manning.

00:59:29.068 --> 00:59:30.032
You know who did he have?

00:59:30.032 --> 00:59:32.581
Edrin james, you know marvin harrison jr.

00:59:32.581 --> 00:59:33.865
Hall of famers, correct.

00:59:33.865 --> 00:59:35.088
So what is?

00:59:35.088 --> 00:59:37.213
Derrick henry and zay flowers and mark andrews.

00:59:37.554 --> 00:59:41.190
That's not really moving me with, you know, lamar sobbing me an mvp.

00:59:41.190 --> 00:59:50.972
I'm so sorry and, again, I love that josh allen and the bills are doing so great and you they've won all these games and you know Josh Allen is throwing arm punts.

00:59:50.972 --> 00:59:53.713
You know, to kind of help out the defense.

00:59:53.713 --> 00:59:57.596
However, I think that Lamar should win MVP.

00:59:57.596 --> 00:59:59.648
I again.

00:59:59.648 --> 01:00:02.717
It's just, it's a matter of rising any time you watch him play.

01:00:02.717 --> 01:00:10.115
Like, I'm not going to say that Josh isn't deserving this year and is going to be one of the closest races I've ever seen.

01:00:10.115 --> 01:00:23.054
But I think Lamar, with the fact that he's going to win the AFC North and how he's played basically since the bye, basically this whole season, it's kind of been like if he doesn't play well, all of a sudden this team falls completely apart.

01:00:23.054 --> 01:00:25.653
So I definitely have the Ravens in this one.

01:00:26.327 --> 01:00:28.552
Okay, all right, sogo, yes, lamar.

01:00:28.552 --> 01:00:37.668
So diego has josh allen, chris has lamar, uh, but although he's been up and down, so uh chris has been on a little bit of a emotional roller coaster.

01:00:37.668 --> 01:00:42.606
Vivian green, uh, up and down, so you know, week to week that's fluctuated, but that's okay.

01:00:42.606 --> 01:00:44.690
Got uh lamar jackson today.

01:00:44.690 --> 01:00:49.820
So let's see uh, brie, who, who do you have?

01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.567
yeah, so I have josh allen for mvp.

01:00:52.567 --> 01:01:01.914
At first I was with lamar jackson, but alan really secured it for me because, I mean, he has the most accuracy with his throws and he's always there for his team.

01:01:01.914 --> 01:01:22.050
He I don't know, he's like the most efficient quarterback in the end zone red zone, same thing but Lamar Jackson, he's the most dynamic runner, but I feel like and Lamar's had the same stats almost every year, so I feel like he's not really doing much anymore, like he's just there, I feel like I don't know.

01:01:22.050 --> 01:01:22.711
So I just like Josh Allen more.

01:01:22.711 --> 01:01:25.177
I feel like he's more of a valuable player than Lamar.

01:01:26.608 --> 01:01:27.030
OK, ok.

01:01:27.030 --> 01:01:33.632
So that's another for Josh Allen, and yeah.

01:01:33.632 --> 01:01:35.478
So look, lamar Jackson.

01:01:35.478 --> 01:01:39.050
Lamar has the new perfume.

01:01:39.050 --> 01:01:40.594
Okay, love it.

01:01:40.594 --> 01:01:41.976
You know what I'm saying?

01:01:41.976 --> 01:01:42.617
I'm a buy it.

01:01:43.447 --> 01:01:44.389
So I am a Lamar.

01:01:44.409 --> 01:01:47.257
Jackson fan, and I want to smell like a woman too.

01:01:47.804 --> 01:01:48.307
So I'm with you on that.

01:01:48.307 --> 01:01:49.275
I'm with you on that Lamar Jackson fan and.

01:01:49.295 --> 01:01:50.804
I want to smell like a woman too, so I'm with you on that.

01:01:51.005 --> 01:01:52.190
I'm with you on that, lamar.

01:01:52.190 --> 01:01:56.394
You are my guy, but you got to get to a Super Bowl.

01:01:56.394 --> 01:01:59.114
You've already won two MVPs.

01:01:59.114 --> 01:02:08.550
It's the same rule that I had for Joker in the NBA when he won two MVPs and had not gotten to the finals.

01:02:08.550 --> 01:02:09.708
And I'm also.

01:02:09.708 --> 01:02:15.851
I'm sorry, but that light-skinned boogeyman up in Kansas City okay, you've been.

01:02:15.851 --> 01:02:31.567
Those knees get a little shaky when he comes around, and until you handle that boogeyman in Kansas City, I cannot in good conscious vote for you to get that MVP until you get over that light-skinned man in Kansas City.

01:02:31.606 --> 01:02:34.077
How did Josh Allen face that light-skinned boogeyman?

01:02:34.077 --> 01:02:34.563
What are we doing?

01:02:34.563 --> 01:02:36.411
He beat him.

01:02:36.411 --> 01:02:38.431
He beat him in the regular season.

01:02:38.471 --> 01:02:47.273
He beat him and then, when he lost to him in the playoffs.

01:02:47.273 --> 01:02:49.733
It was one of the most epic games ever.

01:02:49.733 --> 01:02:52.402
Went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, Lamar.

01:02:52.422 --> 01:02:55.291
Jackson, are you talking about who loses better, like they still lose?

01:02:55.684 --> 01:03:00.818
Lamar Jackson still has the title of playing poorly in the big games.

01:03:00.818 --> 01:03:02.838
Josh Allen doesn't have that title.

01:03:02.838 --> 01:03:03.965
He's played great Josh.

01:03:04.086 --> 01:03:05.411
Allen's played great.

01:03:05.411 --> 01:03:08.414
Also, it's the other Other teams fall with Josh Allen.

01:03:08.414 --> 01:03:12.030
He loses to the better player in the playoffs.

01:03:15.632 --> 01:03:21.615
And the other thing that I can't unsee is that Raiders loss man that Raiders loss at home.

01:03:21.615 --> 01:03:29.934
You can't forget about the Jameis loss too, oh yeah, the Jameis loss oh my God, I mean gosh Jameis basically got kicked off the Browns three games later.

01:03:29.934 --> 01:03:32.563
I'm saying buddy out of nothing.

01:03:32.804 --> 01:03:36.128
They lost the worst team in the league, in the Raiders and the big bad Ravens.

01:03:36.128 --> 01:03:53.856
So yeah, yeah, but yeah, I just again, I cannot unsee an old broke-down Kelsey and a boogeyman Mahomes on one leg hobbling into Baltimore and kind of breaking them down like that.

01:03:53.856 --> 01:04:01.931
Just like I can't unsee Ant and what happened when slow Euro step Luca went and made him look small.

01:04:01.931 --> 01:04:03.530
I cannot unsee that.

01:04:03.530 --> 01:04:05.632
So again, I'm rooting for Lamar.

01:04:05.632 --> 01:04:10.873
If he overcomes and gets to the Super Bowl and has another big year, I'll be the first to vote for him.

01:04:10.873 --> 01:04:12.224
But right now he's on probation.

01:04:12.224 --> 01:04:14.032
Until he overcomes that hump.

01:04:14.867 --> 01:04:17.288
All right, I will let you go, Josh Allen.

01:04:17.288 --> 01:04:20.150
They beat the Lions, so I feel like that's a pretty big accomplishment.

01:04:20.150 --> 01:04:24.766
So you know, that's just a preview for the Super Bowl, though.

01:04:24.766 --> 01:04:27.048
So the Lions will win the Super Bowl, but you know.

01:04:27.128 --> 01:04:27.628
That's right.

01:04:27.628 --> 01:04:29.329
That's right, that was huge.

01:04:29.329 --> 01:04:38.617
Yeah, you go up to them if you just whisper Mahomes, okay, all right, so we're just going to say listen, we're going to talk about a dude who loses better.

01:04:38.637 --> 01:04:40.440
That's all I'm going to say.

01:04:40.440 --> 01:04:43.442
Like they are both losing to the same player.

01:04:45.027 --> 01:04:46.612
Okay, who's your favorite football team?

01:04:47.313 --> 01:04:48.056
Carolina Panthers.

01:04:48.356 --> 01:04:51.273
Okay, so you know all about losing better.

01:04:51.414 --> 01:04:51.614
Yeah.

01:04:52.547 --> 01:04:56.987
Losing with style points yeah yeah, world victory.

01:04:57.007 --> 01:04:57.568
You got me there.

01:04:57.568 --> 01:04:58.170
You got me there.

01:04:58.170 --> 01:04:59.672
I'm going to let you at it.

01:04:59.672 --> 01:05:01.755
I'm going to let you at it.

01:05:01.755 --> 01:05:03.378
Sorry to tell us, man, losing, losing.

01:05:04.005 --> 01:05:05.311
We lose with the best of us.

01:05:05.351 --> 01:05:05.512
Yeah.

01:05:09.184 --> 01:05:09.811
We lose with the best of them.

01:05:09.811 --> 01:05:10.476
We lose with the best of them.

01:05:10.476 --> 01:05:11.324
Fun debate, fun conversation.

01:05:11.324 --> 01:05:14.815
Can't wait to see these final two weeks.

01:05:14.815 --> 01:05:16.911
It's going to be fun to watch within the playoffs.

01:05:16.911 --> 01:05:19.652
Oh my goodness, it's going to be so much fun to watch.

01:05:19.652 --> 01:05:21.672
We can settle it on the field.

01:05:21.672 --> 01:05:23.150
That's where it should be settled.

01:05:24.047 --> 01:05:24.769
Can't wait to see that.

01:05:24.769 --> 01:05:27.306
Let's see who might fall to my homes this year.

01:05:27.626 --> 01:05:31.048
It will be the Arrowhead Invitational again, for sure.

01:05:31.048 --> 01:05:34.231
Well, bree, pleasure to have you, as always.

01:05:35.213 --> 01:05:36.454
Yep, thank you for having me.

01:05:36.934 --> 01:05:38.554
Yes, thanks for being on.

01:05:38.554 --> 01:05:54.717
We will see you here in person February 8th for our Super Bowl show, our Super Bowl pre-show, and again we'll be here in studio in a couple of weeks, so we'll, of course, have you there and a whole lot on social media over the next several weeks.

01:05:54.737 --> 01:05:56.045
So have a very great new year and we'll talk to you soon.

01:05:56.045 --> 01:05:57.067
All right, bye.

01:05:57.067 --> 01:05:57.809
Thank you so much.

01:05:58.170 --> 01:05:59.094
All right, thank you, bye.

01:05:59.094 --> 01:06:03.552
All right, all right, guys.

01:06:03.552 --> 01:06:05.512
Well, almost time to get out of here.

01:06:05.512 --> 01:06:07.012
We've got one final segment.

01:06:07.012 --> 01:06:17.909
We are starting a new segment here quickly with.

01:06:17.909 --> 01:06:19.856
We're going to have a fan on every single week where we end our show with a fan.

01:06:19.856 --> 01:06:26.856
So if you would like to be our special fan and join us at the end of the show, let us know, reach out to us, dm us and we'll get that schedule going and try to get you on.

01:06:26.856 --> 01:06:33.396
But right now all of you know Brandon he's got the most knowledge of anyone that we know, so we love to have him on.

01:06:33.396 --> 01:06:40.318
So we're going to come on and grill him and ask him a couple of questions real quick about a lot of what we talked about today.

01:06:40.318 --> 01:06:43.956
So let's give it to our man, brandon.

01:06:43.956 --> 01:06:44.766
What's going on?

01:06:44.766 --> 01:06:45.588
My man?

01:06:46.271 --> 01:06:46.932
What's going on?

01:06:47.414 --> 01:06:48.927
Hey, man, good to see you.

01:06:48.927 --> 01:06:50.590
As always, you have a good Christmas, man.

01:06:51.447 --> 01:06:54.210
Yeah, I did Good good man.

01:06:54.304 --> 01:06:56.873
Well, good to see you, yeah, man.

01:06:56.873 --> 01:07:03.317
So, man, what's your thoughts on the whole NFL taking over Christmas?

01:07:03.597 --> 01:07:07.086
on the NBA, man, Christmas on the NBA man.

01:07:07.086 --> 01:07:17.556
So I feel like the NFL won the viewership race, but I think the NBA won the product Okay.

01:07:17.556 --> 01:07:28.219
So it's like, yes, I saw where it's like, oh, they had 24 million viewers to just buy for the NBA.

01:07:28.219 --> 01:07:34.128
It's like, yeah, that's cool, but the NBA games were kind of better overall than two NFL games.

01:07:34.128 --> 01:07:46.425
So it was like, while the NFL won the viewership war, but the NBA won the product war, yeah, okay.

01:07:46.746 --> 01:07:51.927
Okay, yeah, the NFL, the numbers, you can nfl the numbers, you can't argue the numbers for sure.

01:07:51.927 --> 01:07:58.489
But all those games were, uh, you know, the games were, were definitely none of them were close.

01:07:58.489 --> 01:08:08.117
And then the game last night, even though it wasn't a christmas game, my goodness, six to three, uh, that that game was so bad we didn't even talk about it here on the show today.

01:08:08.117 --> 01:08:11.931
Yeah, so it was pretty, uh, pretty bad.

01:08:11.931 --> 01:08:25.095
So, yeah, the nba definitely had some better, better games, for sure, uh, there, uh, mvp man, who you got so I have josh allen to win vp.

01:08:25.176 --> 01:08:46.610
Like when I look at it, I kind of like the whole I like to do theories on MVP awards in sports so I was like I'm thinking like, as I keep looking at all this was, I'm like I think what's getting lost with the MVP award is like what is the criteria?

01:08:46.610 --> 01:08:55.893
Because one year you're saying this, one year you're saying this.

01:08:55.893 --> 01:08:57.938
It's like it's not really consistent.

01:08:57.938 --> 01:09:00.172
Is it best player on the best team?

01:09:00.172 --> 01:09:02.171
Is it best player in the league?

01:09:02.171 --> 01:09:05.154
Is it just numbers and stats?

01:09:05.154 --> 01:09:06.871
Is it team accomplishments?

01:09:06.871 --> 01:09:07.613
Is it both?

01:09:07.613 --> 01:09:14.698
So it's like, and then you look at, well, lamar got two, he shouldn't win another one.

01:09:14.698 --> 01:09:18.386
It's like josh, josh gotta be one.

01:09:18.386 --> 01:09:20.011
It's like, okay, we give it to josh.

01:09:20.011 --> 01:09:22.117
Then like, who's next up?

01:09:22.738 --> 01:09:26.368
Yeah, like, is it we trying to search for the next court?

01:09:26.368 --> 01:09:29.976
Well, my home's got and Lamar's got two and Josh got one.

01:09:29.976 --> 01:09:33.134
So it's like, okay, maybe Joe Burrow's up next.

01:09:33.134 --> 01:09:38.364
So it's like I mean that's cool, but it's kind of like the NBA, right?

01:09:38.364 --> 01:09:51.899
So like I think what happens a lot of times is, once you start winning multiple MVPs, we kind of get tired of seeing the same people winning MVP awards.

01:09:51.899 --> 01:10:08.157
Yeah, we do, but it's kind of crazy because it's like I look at NBA, I'm like, wait a minute, If Jordan won like five MVPs, he could have easily had about eight or nine of them.

01:10:08.157 --> 01:10:09.298
Oh yeah, for sure.

01:10:09.298 --> 01:10:13.171
Lebron could have had eight or seven or eight of them.

01:10:14.713 --> 01:10:26.675
Kobe could have had two or three of them yeah shaq could have had two or three, right, um yokich could have like three or four.

01:10:26.675 --> 01:10:34.844
You look in the NFL Brady could have had more MVPs, mahomes could have had more MVPs, lamar could have had more.

01:10:34.844 --> 01:10:40.234
I think a lot of times it's like there's this thing called bonus fatigue.

01:10:40.234 --> 01:10:46.864
I think a lot of times that kind of get in a way of consistent dominance, oh yeah.

01:10:46.864 --> 01:10:56.399
And then the voters are like, well, he's gotta do something different or something catastrophic for us to vote for him.

01:10:56.399 --> 01:10:57.967
Like right, gotta be something new.

01:10:57.967 --> 01:11:07.292
Like either you have a career year, your team has a career season, a record-breaking season, something record-breaking you gotta to do to put in.

01:11:08.012 --> 01:11:14.673
And I'm like, well, if he's just great every year, like I can't, I don't want to punish the guy for being great every year.

01:11:14.673 --> 01:11:20.631
Like with Jokic, it's like he's nearly average of a triple-double, but you don't want to give him MVP.

01:11:20.631 --> 01:11:28.175
And it's like, no, you got to give him MVP because he's putting up, he's averaging nearly triple-double, but he's also shooting.

01:11:28.175 --> 01:11:39.216
He's going 50-50-80 or 50-50-90 or whatever, yeah, so it's like you got to look at that point and he's keeping the Nuggets afloat in the NBA playoff race.

01:11:39.216 --> 01:11:59.649
So it's like it's just kind of crazy, because I felt like no matter if it's football, basketball, hockey, baseball, it's like the mvp award criteria gets changed every year, it does, and I would just like trying to I'm trying to still understand, like why yeah?

01:11:59.810 --> 01:12:03.658
yeah, we definitely need some more strict criteria on that.

01:12:03.658 --> 01:12:06.632
But uh, yeah, hopefully we'll get that at some point.

01:12:06.632 --> 01:12:23.395
But you know it's truly a it's obviously a quarterback award, so we know that's happened many years ago and then I really typically kind of goes to, you know, the quarterback that's on the best team or with the best record and if, if one quarterback has amazing numbers, that kind of have the edge.

01:12:23.395 --> 01:12:27.051
But yeah, it's kind of drilled down to that but need some some stricter criteria.

01:12:27.051 --> 01:12:32.563
So, definitely agree on that, man, well, um man, hey, I got one final thing.

01:12:32.563 --> 01:12:35.088
If we get you out of here, we're going to sign off because we're at our time.

01:12:35.088 --> 01:12:35.851
But who?

01:12:35.851 --> 01:12:40.046
Who wins the uh inaugural pick'em pro fantasy football championship?

01:12:40.046 --> 01:12:42.289
Is it, is it uh david, or is it silas?

01:12:42.289 --> 01:12:44.712
I'm going with Silas.

01:12:45.894 --> 01:12:48.577
Okay, I think a lot of times.

01:12:48.577 --> 01:12:55.912
Sometimes, like in sports, sometimes an underdog is better than a favorite.

01:12:56.555 --> 01:12:56.815
Uh-huh.

01:12:57.686 --> 01:13:08.778
And so I think by him scratching his claw and waiting for the finals as a lower seed, kind of like it gives him the edge in this, okay.

01:13:08.778 --> 01:13:28.537
And four is like fantasy football, like I kind of took this one kind of hard because obviously, you know, I finished in the top three, but it's like I ain't getting the job done.

01:13:28.537 --> 01:13:32.887
So, yeah, now it's like okay, I'm thinking too much.

01:13:32.887 --> 01:13:38.806
You know, like I would just be like you know what, let me just like wait a while.

01:13:38.806 --> 01:13:41.152
But I'm like, nah, like it hurts so much.

01:13:41.152 --> 01:13:46.529
So I'm like I, I started kind of looking at what do great people do?

01:13:46.529 --> 01:13:51.618
So I'm like, okay, what did Mahomes do when he lost the Super Bowl?

01:13:51.618 --> 01:13:53.369
Okay, he watched film.

01:13:53.369 --> 01:13:55.130
So it's like okay.

01:13:56.024 --> 01:13:58.654
So, like, right now, I probably got like note.

01:13:58.654 --> 01:14:05.259
I got like a lot of players I'm looking forward to picking next year on my notes, uh-huh.

01:14:05.259 --> 01:14:05.720
So Are you ready?

01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:07.002
Yeah, so, like you ready?

01:14:07.002 --> 01:14:13.037
Yeah, so like it's never too early to plan ahead, it's not.

01:14:13.037 --> 01:14:21.215
So all I'm saying is for next year, like anybody that I feel like I lost to, that I shouldn't have lost to.

01:14:21.215 --> 01:14:31.996
It's like, look out, okay, I like it, I love it and hopefully next year I start off at the top and I end at the top.

01:14:32.015 --> 01:14:33.219
Okay, all right.

01:14:33.219 --> 01:14:35.110
Well, you putting the league on notice.

01:14:35.110 --> 01:14:37.251
I like that, and that's the way to do it.

01:14:37.251 --> 01:14:40.576
Years that I've lost, especially if it was earlier.

01:14:40.576 --> 01:14:48.185
I really did the same thing and tried to pay attention to guys that you know were up and coming and that other people may not be noticing.

01:14:48.185 --> 01:14:50.131
So that's a great strategy, man.

01:14:50.131 --> 01:14:51.796
Well, we're out of time, man.

01:14:51.796 --> 01:14:52.789
