00:00:00.321 --> 00:00:02.669
All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back.

00:00:02.669 --> 00:00:05.766
You know who it is, I am Derek Thompson.

00:00:05.966 --> 00:00:07.028
And I'm Diego Thompson.

00:00:07.549 --> 00:00:08.473
I'm Christopher Davis.

00:00:08.473 --> 00:00:09.763
And who are we?

00:00:10.164 --> 00:00:11.128
We're the Pick'em.

00:00:11.148 --> 00:00:12.012
Pros.

00:00:12.012 --> 00:00:16.525
We are the Pick'em Pros coming back at you in the house with a special episode of who.

00:00:16.525 --> 00:00:21.045
You Got Father-Son Dynamic Duo and we've got our man, chris Davis.

00:00:21.045 --> 00:00:21.849
What's going on, chris?

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:23.080
Not much.

00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:26.403
Not much Just, you know, excited after last week's win.

00:00:26.403 --> 00:00:33.490
We all didn't pick the Panthers, but surprisingly we saw the resurgence of Andy Dalton, so that was something special.

00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:36.813
Man, last week was a fun time as a Panthers fan.

00:00:37.414 --> 00:00:37.993
That's right.

00:00:37.993 --> 00:00:40.917
That's right, yeah, so is that the secret sauce?

00:00:43.506 --> 00:00:44.872
Do we just have to not pick him?

00:00:44.872 --> 00:00:45.798
I guess so that might be it.

00:00:45.798 --> 00:00:47.551
It's almost ridiculous.

00:00:47.551 --> 00:00:50.825
Devontae Adams would go crazy if he only had 50-something yards.

00:00:52.982 --> 00:00:53.845
JC Hoyt put up.

00:00:54.427 --> 00:00:54.768
Yeah.

00:00:57.087 --> 00:00:58.911
That was great.

00:00:58.911 --> 00:01:00.646
We're going to definitely dive into that.

00:01:00.646 --> 00:01:02.963
Definitely hyped about that.

00:01:02.963 --> 00:01:05.727
We talked about Bryce, talked about Andy Dalton.

00:01:05.727 --> 00:01:06.942
See the difference?

00:01:06.942 --> 00:01:09.405
Hey, they looked a lot different.

00:01:09.405 --> 00:01:13.987
So we'll definitely dive into that and we're going to go down there and check them out in person.

00:01:13.987 --> 00:01:15.585
We have to do our due diligence.

00:01:15.585 --> 00:01:20.620
So, since we're officially in the media and we're talking about the Panthers, we can't just talk about it.

00:01:20.620 --> 00:01:22.924
We got to go down there and see them up close and personal.

00:01:22.924 --> 00:01:25.989
So we're going to take a trip and get down there early and check them out.

00:01:25.989 --> 00:01:28.775
So, really excited for that, all right.

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.528
Well, hey, also, we've got a big, big show next week.

00:01:32.528 --> 00:01:33.811
We'll be back at King.

00:01:33.811 --> 00:01:39.165
So our show will be 7 PM, like it typically is, but we'll be in person.

00:01:39.165 --> 00:01:42.311
So come and check us out, holler, at your boys at Kings.

00:01:42.311 --> 00:01:50.495
We've got some fire special guests and we're starting a new segment where we're featuring a high school athlete at the end of every show.

00:01:50.495 --> 00:01:52.742
So we're really excited about that.

00:01:53.043 --> 00:01:55.588
Let me go ahead and just pull this up real quick.

00:01:55.588 --> 00:01:59.302
So, again, we've got Olivia, local golf phenom.

00:01:59.302 --> 00:02:00.224
Can't wait to have her.

00:02:00.224 --> 00:02:03.373
She's going to kick off our local high school athlete.

00:02:03.373 --> 00:02:06.950
So again, high school athletes, step your game up so you can get on here.

00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:08.786
Desmond Clark will be joining us.

00:02:08.786 --> 00:02:09.944
You all know who Des is.

00:02:09.944 --> 00:02:11.406
He'll join us virtually.

00:02:11.406 --> 00:02:13.106
And then we've got Kenny Collins.

00:02:13.106 --> 00:02:16.490
He is the coach of the Clayton High School basketball team.

00:02:16.490 --> 00:02:18.045
They are loaded.

00:02:18.045 --> 00:02:23.406
If you don't know now, you know they are loaded and they are poised to win state.

00:02:23.406 --> 00:02:26.012
So we cannot wait to talk to him.

00:02:26.012 --> 00:02:35.992
He is jumping up to head coach this year and he'll tell us about all the great things that are going to happen this year.

00:02:35.992 --> 00:02:38.960
And we also have some special guests, rome and Jamie, to talk about flag football.

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:39.841
So we have a whole lot.

00:02:39.841 --> 00:02:45.463
Chris will be with us, of course a whole lot going on, so it's going to be a fire show, all right.

00:02:45.903 --> 00:02:48.925
Well, hey, today we're going to talk about the Cowboys.

00:02:48.925 --> 00:02:51.347
We're going to talk about the game we're going to talk about.

00:02:51.347 --> 00:02:52.987
Are the Cowboys going to make the playoffs?

00:02:52.987 --> 00:02:56.770
I'm hearing a lot of people say no, we're going to talk about the Bears.

00:02:56.770 --> 00:03:00.251
Oh no, did they make the wrong decision again?

00:03:00.251 --> 00:03:01.812
We're going to talk about that.

00:03:01.812 --> 00:03:03.832
We're going to talk about the Steelers.

00:03:03.832 --> 00:03:06.715
My gosh, everyone was talking about the Bengals.

00:03:06.715 --> 00:03:12.578
Everyone was talking about the Ravens Browns and their defense and Deshaun Watson in here.

00:03:12.578 --> 00:03:16.250
Look at the Steelers they're the ones that are 3-0.

00:03:16.250 --> 00:03:17.240
Are they the best in the AFC North?

00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.444
We'll talk about that.

00:03:18.444 --> 00:03:21.368
We'll pick all the games, as we always do.

00:03:21.368 --> 00:03:28.067
And then, hey, we've got breaking news in basketball, so we got to pivot at the end.

00:03:28.087 --> 00:03:31.139
We've got to talk about the big trade that happened with the uh nicks and timberwolves.

00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:35.008
We got to talk about that wnba is going into their semi-finals.

00:03:35.008 --> 00:03:37.319
We got to hit that before we roll as well.

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.187
So tons of tons of stuff to get into, uh, for sure.

00:03:40.187 --> 00:03:42.812
So we got a fire show and we do have to again.

00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.789
We got to try to do all this within a little over an hour.

00:03:45.789 --> 00:03:47.784
We got to be off here by 815.

00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:49.770
So we're going to run, we're going to run through it.

00:03:49.770 --> 00:03:54.644
We're going to run through now, kings, we're probably going to be about two hours, so I'm just going to tell you right now.

00:03:54.644 --> 00:04:11.045
But we're going to have peace, we're going to feed you, so come out, we'll feed you, and yeah're not going to rush that one, so we're going to have that one.

00:04:11.045 --> 00:04:12.588
Uh, just come and get get comfortable, get a seat and get early.

00:04:12.588 --> 00:04:13.330
All right, so let's dive into it.

00:04:13.330 --> 00:04:14.493
Let's get into our first topic here um, the dallas cowboys.

00:04:14.493 --> 00:04:20.490
So, man, they squeaked by 120 to 15 on the road, went to met life and um got the win.

00:04:20.490 --> 00:04:21.956
Diego, you called this correctly.

00:04:21.956 --> 00:04:23.543
You and des called this one correctly.

00:04:23.543 --> 00:04:24.567
Yeah, um.

00:04:24.567 --> 00:04:25.500
So tell us about this.

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:27.084
Uh game, diego, what was your take on it?

00:04:27.745 --> 00:04:30.430
so, um, cowboys, they squeaked by.

00:04:30.430 --> 00:04:32.562
Uh, giants, malik neighbors court.

00:04:32.562 --> 00:04:33.584
He didn't play it really well.

00:04:33.584 --> 00:04:34.607
He had a good game.

00:04:34.607 --> 00:04:38.824
Um was cooking Trayvon Diggs and all the other corners that were trying to guard him.

00:04:38.824 --> 00:04:43.365
But uh, cowboys, they, they squeaked by with the win, dallas, they.

00:04:43.365 --> 00:04:51.492
It's been like 13 straight times they beat the Giants, but it is worrying that it was that close of a game.

00:04:51.492 --> 00:04:58.329
So yeah, I come a little worried about the Cowboys, but I'm impressed by Malik Nabors and the Giants a little bit.

00:04:58.821 --> 00:05:00.326
I think they should definitely be worried.

00:05:00.326 --> 00:05:01.269
What do you think, Chris?

00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:19.052
So my thing with the Cowboys is I don't know what kind of team they are, you know, because they lose to a very good well, they lose to a very good baltimore team, and then they beat up on cleveland and you know they look like world beaters versus other teams.

00:05:19.052 --> 00:05:35.466
It's very weird, you know, and dallas has this thing of I don't want to say it's front running, but to me it's like they always will put themselves in like these positions where everybody's like oh, you should win, you should do this, and they always fall apart.

00:05:35.846 --> 00:05:47.535
So yeah no shade to them, but, like I'm looking at the season coming up, they play the Steelers, the, the Lions, the Niners, the Falcons, the Eagles, the Titans and the Rangers team.

00:05:47.535 --> 00:05:54.670
So this stretch run is like, oh okay, like they're already in, like a late season stretch run starting next week.

00:05:54.670 --> 00:06:08.146
So I don't know what this team is yet and, with the injuries to Michael Parsons and I believe DeMarcus Lawrence is injured as well, it's a bit concerning for how this season could turn out.

00:06:08.146 --> 00:06:11.617
So I don't, I don't know yeah, I'm with you.

00:06:11.898 --> 00:06:19.033
I believe that, um, he's got a high, high ankle sprain, parsons has a high ankle sprain, which is not good at all.

00:06:19.033 --> 00:06:23.687
So, uh, they, they definitely, in my opinion, are in.

00:06:23.687 --> 00:06:27.995
You know, in terms of making the playoffs, I don't see it.

00:06:27.995 --> 00:06:36.206
You know, when you look at the NFC, you've got, you know, detroit, you've got Green Bay, you've got Minnesota.

00:06:36.206 --> 00:06:45.189
Now You've got man, you've got the Saints, the Falcons Okay, now, I don't know about that.

00:06:45.189 --> 00:06:46.927
We'll see what happens tomorrow.

00:06:46.927 --> 00:06:49.545
Is the Red Fireball going to be?

00:06:49.565 --> 00:06:50.449
a problem like that?

00:06:50.709 --> 00:06:51.370
I don't know.

00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:55.228
But yeah, I mean, you've got a lot to do.

00:06:55.228 --> 00:06:59.790
The Eagles, I mean I think we all probably agree that the Eagles are going to win the division.

00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:03.810
So you know, it's going to be a tall task.

00:07:03.810 --> 00:07:13.608
They've dropped some games that well that that same game is really going to hurt them, but that that's going to be very difficult to recover from that.

00:07:13.608 --> 00:07:16.233
So thank you to the Lords for your comment as well.

00:07:16.233 --> 00:07:18.266
Think they'll make the playoffs but won't go anywhere.

00:07:18.266 --> 00:07:25.874
Yeah, yeah, if they happen to get in, which I predicted them, to squeak in and then get bounced early.

00:07:25.874 --> 00:07:29.067
But right now, I don't know, it's not looking to you.

00:07:29.067 --> 00:07:29.810
What do you think, diego?

00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:30.771
Are they going to make the playoffs?

00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.086
I think they'll make the playoffs.

00:07:32.086 --> 00:07:33.403
They always, always.

00:07:33.403 --> 00:07:49.137
Not really because they're a great team, it's because, really, you know, I think they'll be able to turn on the gas a little later in the season, because that's what they always, always find a way to squeak into the playoffs, give everyone high hopes and then fall late in the season.

00:07:49.137 --> 00:07:59.213
I think, though, in those games that Chris mentioned, I think they'll be able to pull some of those off and give the fans some confidence and then blow it in the playoffs.

00:07:59.620 --> 00:08:00.745
Now you make a great point.

00:08:00.745 --> 00:08:03.067
I'm going to kick it to you, chris, for the final word on this.

00:08:03.067 --> 00:08:06.089
You make a great point because I'm going to kick it to you, chris, for the final word on this.

00:08:06.089 --> 00:08:07.915
You make a great point because I've seen Jerry do this again.

00:08:07.915 --> 00:08:19.935
I remember when he brought in Amari Cooper that was a mid-season move, if I remember they were kind of flailing and Dak was struggling up to that point and once they brought Amari in, dak really kind of went to another level.

00:08:19.935 --> 00:08:23.947
So I wouldn't put that past them, and especially the way they're struggling right now.

00:08:23.947 --> 00:08:25.932
I wouldn't be surprised if they made a move.

00:08:25.932 --> 00:08:34.434
Now, if they make a move and they can bring somebody in, get a top receiver, bring in a back, then I say, ok, they've got a shot.

00:08:34.434 --> 00:08:39.552
But as the way the roster is currently constructed, I don't see them making it.

00:08:39.552 --> 00:08:41.041
But, chris, what's your take?

00:08:41.581 --> 00:08:43.043
But, chris, what's your take?

00:08:43.043 --> 00:08:59.700
I just feel like this run really concerns me because the Lions, the Niners, the Falcons I believe they can win, but the Eagles and the Texans they're very good teams, and Dallas I don't know if they'll get beat up even more.

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:04.270
We still haven't seen somebody outside of CD really turn up this season.

00:09:04.270 --> 00:09:11.585
So they do need another acquisition and their defense is weird, like their defense has really.

00:09:11.585 --> 00:09:19.102
They played well against when they played very bad quarterbacks, like that's literally the story of their season, what they have to play.

00:09:19.464 --> 00:09:23.447
Derek Carr, regardless of how you feel about him, has been playing top-tier quarterback this season.

00:09:23.447 --> 00:09:24.229
When they played Derek Carr and Lamar, it looked like the sky was falling.

00:09:24.229 --> 00:09:25.272
So I don't know, regardless of how you feel about him, has been playing top tier quarterback this season.

00:09:25.272 --> 00:09:28.932
When they played derrick carl lamar, it looked like the world, the sky was falling.

00:09:28.932 --> 00:09:29.918
So I don't know.

00:09:29.918 --> 00:09:44.149
I just it concerns me with the amount of great quarterbacks they're gonna have to play in the trend of, like their defense only rising to the occasion versus very mediocre quarterbacks okay, okay, yeah, that that that's a.

00:09:44.168 --> 00:09:45.812
That's's an interesting take.

00:09:45.812 --> 00:10:00.322
And, professor, the professor my dad, who's been a recurring guest on the show, who is in Dallas right now, might be a little biased, but he says that the professor says the Cowboys will be in the playoffs Explanation point, explanation point.

00:10:00.322 --> 00:10:02.784
So if he says it, you might be able to book it.

00:10:02.784 --> 00:10:05.423
We'll see about that.

00:10:05.423 --> 00:10:10.474
And comment on IG uh, matthew solar said can we get some college football talk?

00:10:10.474 --> 00:10:12.524
And and my canes baby.

00:10:12.524 --> 00:10:14.527
So a shout out to you, matthew.

00:10:14.527 --> 00:10:19.402
Uh, uh, let me say you, saucer, thank you for checking us out.

00:10:19.402 --> 00:10:22.706
First of all, um, and yeah, we can definitely get some college.

00:10:22.706 --> 00:10:24.528
And then the canes, we're going to talk about that.

00:10:24.528 --> 00:10:26.572
Well, that'll probably be another show.

00:10:26.611 --> 00:10:38.322
So we're spinning up multiple, multiple playlists and so it's hard to merge in the same show hockey, basketball, football because some fan bases don't really follow the others, so we'll lose them.

00:10:38.322 --> 00:10:41.210
But we're spinning up new shows as we go.

00:10:41.210 --> 00:10:43.442
So hang with us and we'll definitely.

00:10:43.442 --> 00:10:46.903
We've got to cover Canes, because that's the hometown team, so we got you covered.

00:10:46.903 --> 00:10:48.484
We've just got to spin that up.

00:10:48.484 --> 00:10:49.171
So hang with us.

00:10:49.171 --> 00:10:51.966
All right, cool, and Brandon, we'll see you backstage.

00:10:51.966 --> 00:10:54.221
My man, we're going to talk some hoops with you at the end.

00:10:54.221 --> 00:10:57.746
So, thanks for being early and, summer, thank you for handling everything in the back.

00:10:57.746 --> 00:11:04.573
We know you got us covered, all right, so let's uh, oh, before we go, let's rank our nfc east.

00:11:04.573 --> 00:11:11.951
Uh, why don't you let let's flip it this time, chris, you want to start us, man all right, starting off, I got the eagles one.

00:11:12.613 --> 00:11:16.322
Um, really, the atlanta game they should have won.

00:11:16.322 --> 00:11:23.524
They should easily be like three and oh, but I believe that they turned a corner versus the saints.

00:11:23.524 --> 00:11:24.849
It was a gritty win.

00:11:24.849 --> 00:11:28.892
Now the injuries that they have to their top two receivers very concerning.

00:11:28.892 --> 00:11:32.965
A lane johnson potentially being hurt is something that I'm a little bit worried about.

00:11:32.965 --> 00:11:38.765
But knowing them, I believe they'll trudge through and they're, to me, the best team right now.

00:11:39.246 --> 00:11:43.104
Okay, second, I'm not gonna lie, the way jane dangles has played.

00:11:43.104 --> 00:11:45.777
I actually have the commanders number two now.

00:11:45.777 --> 00:11:55.586
Their defense scares the mess out of me because it's like their D line can make some plays, their linebackers can make some plays, but, lord, that's secondary it is.

00:11:55.586 --> 00:12:03.259
It was stressful watching that game because you're like okay, whoever has the ball last is gonna win the game, obviously.

00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:10.971
But I don't know the way jayden has like revitalized that team and given them a spark and some hope.

00:12:10.971 --> 00:12:14.251
The way they've been playing on offense is clicking on all cylinders.

00:12:14.251 --> 00:12:19.754
They didn't score in the red zone the week before and then all of a sudden they're getting all these touchdowns.

00:12:19.754 --> 00:12:25.931
You see jayden just pushing the ball downfield and being more confident in himself So-called college offense.

00:12:26.292 --> 00:12:26.952
He's showing out.

00:12:27.863 --> 00:12:30.529
We all side-eyed but, yeah, he was great.

00:12:30.529 --> 00:12:32.706
I have the Cowboys.

00:12:32.706 --> 00:12:39.913
I have them weirdly as like a 2B because I'm like I don't know what team they are yet.

00:12:39.913 --> 00:12:49.004
I really think that the way that if they play up to their potential, they're obviously the best team because of the amount of talent that they have on their team.

00:12:49.004 --> 00:12:50.381
So you know.

00:12:50.381 --> 00:12:53.089
And then the Giants you know You're at the bottom.

00:12:53.470 --> 00:13:00.253
They're at the bottom, it sucks because they have a great defense, a star receiver it's just man.

00:13:00.253 --> 00:13:01.692
It's a great story.

00:13:01.692 --> 00:13:03.424
It's a great story.

00:13:03.886 --> 00:13:12.764
Yes, you see Malik and he's having to like run to, like catch up to the ball.

00:13:12.784 --> 00:13:17.841
It is like, yeah, he is man malik is trying his best man, but you know we got daniel drones throwing to you it's.

00:13:18.182 --> 00:13:26.750
You're probably going to be fourth in your division, so okay, yeah, and shout out to dc and our david cook and our Pick'em Pros Fantasy Football League.

00:13:26.750 --> 00:13:28.182
I got neighbors from him.

00:13:28.182 --> 00:13:34.802
So that was a great, great trade on my part on that one Kicking some butt man.

00:13:34.802 --> 00:13:39.452
Spank Josh this past week, spank Desmond Clark two weeks ago.

00:13:39.452 --> 00:13:42.789
So yeah, man, I'm just, I'm just spanking these guys.

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:54.710
Another fantasy league that we were in where I beat you by like 70 nah, nah, I don't really need to talk about that I don't know about that one, that that that is not a sanction, that's not a sanction league.

00:13:55.150 --> 00:13:58.003
So we only talk about official fantasy leagues.

00:13:58.003 --> 00:13:59.667
That's just a play around.

00:13:59.667 --> 00:14:01.731
The pick and pros league is the official league.

00:14:01.731 --> 00:14:02.461
Look at that.

00:14:02.461 --> 00:14:09.486
I don't know about that, not too great got that one.

00:14:09.486 --> 00:14:11.110
That's my kick around me.

00:14:11.110 --> 00:14:11.530
You know that.

00:14:11.530 --> 00:14:15.005
That's where I kick around that's like, that's like in in the it world.

00:14:15.005 --> 00:14:15.990
You have a sandbox.

00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:17.394
You know sandbox.

00:14:17.394 --> 00:14:18.899
We can't tell that that's my sandbox.

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:22.168
You know, I'm saying that's how that, that's how that works, all right.

00:14:22.729 --> 00:14:25.014
So uh is duke being carolina right now, are they?

00:14:25.075 --> 00:14:25.355
okay, all right.

00:14:25.355 --> 00:14:25.716
Okay, we got du.

00:14:25.716 --> 00:14:26.538
Is Duke beating Carolina right now?

00:14:26.538 --> 00:14:26.719
Are they?

00:14:26.719 --> 00:14:26.818
Okay?

00:14:26.818 --> 00:14:27.059
All right?

00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:29.148
Okay, we got Duke Carolina going on right now.

00:14:29.148 --> 00:14:30.365
We got the college going on.

00:14:30.365 --> 00:14:36.509
Colorado is giving a beat down on UCF, so we might touch on some of that a little later.

00:14:36.509 --> 00:14:39.269
Shout out to B Timmy 10.

00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:40.743
Say, what's up, guys?

00:14:40.743 --> 00:14:43.071
What's up, my man, thanks for joining us All right.

00:14:43.071 --> 00:14:47.104
Oh, what's up, guys, what's up, my man?

00:14:47.104 --> 00:14:47.885
Thanks for joining us all right.

00:14:47.885 --> 00:14:48.509
Um, oh, diego, so do you agree?

00:14:48.509 --> 00:14:49.270
Because I think we all have.

00:14:49.270 --> 00:14:55.606
And then brandon in the background, we all have eagles one, um, I think, commanders, or did brandon, where he had commanders too?

00:14:55.606 --> 00:14:55.807
Right?

00:14:55.807 --> 00:15:01.143
Yeah, commanders, uh two, uh, cowboys three and giants four.

00:15:01.143 --> 00:15:03.687
Is that basically what you have, die Diego, or do you have?

00:15:03.727 --> 00:15:04.269
it different.

00:15:04.269 --> 00:15:05.071
I have.

00:15:05.071 --> 00:15:07.534
I'm switching the Cowboys and the Commanders.

00:15:07.534 --> 00:15:09.767
I still have the Cowboys second-best team.

00:15:09.908 --> 00:15:11.182
Okay, the.

00:15:11.201 --> 00:15:11.663
Commanders.

00:15:11.663 --> 00:15:23.749
They were so bad last year, Like they were awful last year, and I just don't know, after like one big win, how I can put them that high up, Like they're still one and two.

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:28.671
Like they're still one and two, like okay, there's still one and two.

00:15:28.671 --> 00:15:30.918
Sounds like the panthers and whatever we're not talking about the panthers

00:15:30.979 --> 00:15:35.287
I'm still still one and two, so I one big win.

00:15:35.326 --> 00:15:40.682
I can't okay, I can't, you know okay, after one big win, can't do that just yet.

00:15:40.682 --> 00:15:41.605
Okay, I got you.

00:15:41.605 --> 00:15:42.707
I feel you all right.

00:15:42.707 --> 00:15:43.571
Well, we're gonna move on.

00:15:43.571 --> 00:15:44.480
What up, ideana?

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:44.881
We see you.

00:15:44.881 --> 00:15:47.629
What up, though, out of detroit hitting us up on instagram.

00:15:47.629 --> 00:15:48.912
Much love, all right.

00:15:48.912 --> 00:15:50.924
Well, hey, we're gonna get into the bears.

00:15:51.586 --> 00:16:01.361
Uh, don't know if uncle duane, the biggest chicago bear homer in the world, is watching this, but uh, duane, if you're watching any bears fans watching, you might want to close your eyes on this one.

00:16:01.361 --> 00:16:04.109
Uh, man, let me pull up the title slide here.

00:16:04.109 --> 00:16:09.206
Uh, the topic on here is oh no, did the bears get it wrong again?

00:16:09.206 --> 00:16:12.392
Did the bears get it wrong again, man?

00:16:12.392 --> 00:16:17.374
I mean, we all know about, uh, you know taking uh, mitchell trubisky told you about them.

00:16:17.374 --> 00:16:30.107
Unc quarterbacks uh, taking mitchell trubisky over um patrick mahomes, um, you know, we know about taking Justin Fields, we know about all of that.

00:16:30.107 --> 00:16:42.466
And here, seeing Jaden Daniels ball out on Monday Night Football, man, starting to wonder did the Bears mess up yet again at the quarterback position?

00:16:42.466 --> 00:16:44.245
Diego, why don't you kick us off?

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.048
No, I mean the Bears, they didn't mess up.

00:16:47.048 --> 00:16:48.966
Caleb's still a great quarterback.

00:16:48.966 --> 00:16:49.942
He just needs.

00:16:49.942 --> 00:17:00.269
You know, he's put some pretty good games together but, just like you know, his consistency and a little bit of turnover issues have got him.

00:17:00.269 --> 00:17:03.629
But I still think that he's going to be a great quarterback.

00:17:03.629 --> 00:17:07.508
And you know, I think it's's something with the bears I don't know what it is.

00:17:07.508 --> 00:17:12.265
It's just like all the quarterbacks together, the bears, they just don't turn out great.

00:17:12.285 --> 00:17:24.630
So maybe it's dewayne if caleb doesn't turn out great, then it's the bears fault, because like, that's just how it is so if jay and daniels went to the bears, he would be playing bad you're playing too, it's just how it is.

00:17:24.630 --> 00:17:25.111
I'm sorry.

00:17:25.270 --> 00:17:26.663
It's just the Bears.

00:17:26.663 --> 00:17:27.928
It's just the Bears.

00:17:27.928 --> 00:17:29.205
Okay, what would you say, chris?

00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:30.262
I mean.

00:17:30.262 --> 00:17:45.029
To me this is eerily similar to the situation that we've had with Caroline in Houston, where there's a defensive head coach, there's an offensive coordinator that really values how to help a quarterback play quarterback successfully in this league.

00:17:45.029 --> 00:17:51.448
Regardless of how you feel about Cliff Kingsbury as like a head coach, as an offensive coordinator, he is doing his thing.

00:17:51.448 --> 00:17:55.407
So, that's my whole thing is.

00:17:55.407 --> 00:18:01.885
Again, this might be a situation where we overrated one situation underrated another.

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:03.705
And that's my feeling on this.

00:18:03.705 --> 00:18:11.534
It doesn't mean that Caleb's not good, because Caleb has performed as best as he could, but he doesn't have the offensive line around him.

00:18:11.534 --> 00:18:15.230
Yet again and again he has some coaching decisions.

00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:21.872
He has, you know, he has Eberflues and he has Shane Walter as his offensive line who's?

00:18:21.872 --> 00:18:23.153
Not really helping him out.

00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.323
So it's like.

00:18:24.786 --> 00:18:26.513
What do we like?

00:18:26.513 --> 00:18:29.346
We have these quarterbacks that we label generational, and I get it.

00:18:29.346 --> 00:18:36.707
Caleb Williams was supposed to be the next Patrick Mahomes and we gave him three really good wide receivers, even though one of them is injured right now.

00:18:36.707 --> 00:18:41.832
So there's a lot going on stopping him from being what we know he can be.

00:18:41.832 --> 00:18:46.730
Because we saw that throw in the preseason, all of us were like, oh my goodness, he's here, we're back.

00:18:47.962 --> 00:18:50.009
The Bears are the best quarterbacks since 85.

00:18:50.009 --> 00:18:51.486
Like everybody was so happy.

00:18:51.486 --> 00:18:55.770
And then you see what Jaden can do with a team.

00:18:55.770 --> 00:19:00.380
And again, I still think that Washington's offensive line is spotty sometimes.

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:04.271
So I don't even think it's comparable to the Houston situation with the offensive line sometimes.

00:19:04.271 --> 00:19:07.013
So I'm not even, I don't even think it's like comparable to the houston situation with the offensive line.

00:19:07.034 --> 00:19:17.451
Yeah, I think they're a really really good, washington's a really good place, because it thought about hey, we have everything we need, we just need the guy.

00:19:17.451 --> 00:19:18.840
And they got their guy.

00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:21.685
So we'll see how it goes with their careers.

00:19:21.685 --> 00:19:23.189
But I don't know.

00:19:23.189 --> 00:19:24.971
I think caleb still has a lot to prove.

00:19:24.971 --> 00:19:36.709
So I'm just I'm holding out hope for it okay, that's got one more thing to say, yeah well, well, well, listen, the bears go and get all these great receivers.

00:19:36.729 --> 00:19:42.876
Everyone's like whoa, they got these good receivers, they're gonna make the playoffs, they're gonna have a big run, but really it's.

00:19:42.876 --> 00:19:46.405
It's the nitty gritty that count, it's the o-line and the d-line.

00:19:46.405 --> 00:19:47.409
That it's the o-line.

00:19:47.409 --> 00:19:52.590
They don't have a great o-line, so caleb's not as successful the first few weeks as people thought he would be.

00:19:53.333 --> 00:20:06.711
They need we're no rookie quarterbacks need good o-line to be successful everything is like their defense is actually playing their butts off, like there's no, like it's nothing like the Bears can do.

00:20:06.711 --> 00:20:20.105
It's like the decisions that they're making, on the offensive side of the ball as well, is killing this team, because the reason why they won the first game of the season is because defense's special team showed up Like it wasn't because Caleb played well.

00:20:20.105 --> 00:20:26.813
I guess Houston Defense helped shut down a very potent Houston Texans offense.

00:20:26.813 --> 00:20:30.128
We didn't, the offense didn't perform.

00:20:30.128 --> 00:20:30.842
This week.

00:20:30.842 --> 00:20:32.528
You have the Colts.

00:20:32.528 --> 00:20:34.778
They're down one of their best defensive linemen.

00:20:35.140 --> 00:20:36.666
We can probably do some damage with that.

00:20:36.666 --> 00:20:40.726
Still, the offensive side of the football is not producing.

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:42.125
I don't think it's Caleb.

00:20:42.601 --> 00:20:44.448
I think it's the O-line of the coaching decision.

00:20:44.448 --> 00:20:45.644
So we'll see.

00:20:45.945 --> 00:21:01.103
Okay, now I did hear because this is like you said, this is eerily similar to conversation last week and right here in good old Carolina what's wrong with?

00:21:01.103 --> 00:21:02.105
What's wrong with bright?

00:21:02.105 --> 00:21:05.505
Oh, it's not bright, it's the offensive line, it's the defense.

00:21:05.505 --> 00:21:11.785
It's the offensive line, it's the defense, it's the owner, it's everything, it's the stadium, it's all that.

00:21:11.785 --> 00:21:21.412
And then Dalton came in the red rifle, lit it up and I didn't see anything on the news about temper selling the team.

00:21:21.412 --> 00:21:22.825
I think they still had the same owner.

00:21:23.326 --> 00:21:26.207
Yeah, I believe they still had the same offensive line.

00:21:26.207 --> 00:21:28.634
Uh, I believe they have.

00:21:28.634 --> 00:21:29.717
I think, everything.

00:21:29.717 --> 00:21:31.260
I think they only made one change.

00:21:31.260 --> 00:21:32.263
I believe so.

00:21:32.845 --> 00:21:37.394
So I, you know, I wonder, I wonder if it is quite.

00:21:37.394 --> 00:21:40.423
I mean, yes, can the o-line improve a little bit?

00:21:40.423 --> 00:21:51.500
Chicago, sure it can, but I mean, it come coming into this season, all we talked about was how loaded they were and how, you know, I mean, heck, nick wright picked him to go to the super bowl.

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:56.270
You know so, you know now, all of a sudden, that he's struggling.

00:21:56.270 --> 00:21:57.353
Now there's all these things.

00:21:57.353 --> 00:21:57.941
That's wrong.

00:21:57.941 --> 00:22:00.185
So you know, time, time will tell.

00:22:00.185 --> 00:22:03.653
Um, I, I do think that the fit has a lot to do with it.

00:22:03.653 --> 00:22:06.665
So I agree with you, chris, you've got a defensive coach.

00:22:06.665 --> 00:22:11.632
Now this is the bear cycle, because I do speak Chicago as well.

00:22:11.632 --> 00:22:14.528
I was born in Chicago, so I do speak Chicago as well.

00:22:15.801 --> 00:22:17.949
Every four years there's a change.

00:22:17.949 --> 00:22:20.788
It's in two-year intervals.

00:22:20.788 --> 00:22:30.628
So every two years, either the coach or the quarterback gets fired, all right, and they, they rotate, they rotate where the passion goes.

00:22:30.628 --> 00:22:36.250
So now, because again, it's too early to get mad at caleb, so now it's all going to be the coach, so he's going to be gone.

00:22:36.250 --> 00:22:41.070
Then in two years it's going to be caleb oh, he was a bus then next two years is going to be the coach.

00:22:41.070 --> 00:22:43.557
Then it's going to be whoever the next quarterback that they draft, then it's going to be the current.

00:22:43.557 --> 00:22:44.142
They'll just rotate every two years.

00:22:44.142 --> 00:22:44.487
That going to be the coach.

00:22:44.487 --> 00:22:46.583
Then it's going to be whoever the next quarterback that they draft, then it's going to be the coach and they'll just rotate every two years.

00:22:46.583 --> 00:22:48.065
That is a cycle.

00:22:48.065 --> 00:22:48.988
Go back and check it out.

00:22:48.988 --> 00:22:52.830
That's the cycle in Chicago when it comes to that.

00:22:52.830 --> 00:22:55.587
But I think it's a lot of fit.

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:59.902
Jaden Daniels look, he again reminds me a lot of CJ last year.

00:22:59.902 --> 00:23:00.843
There's a lot of parallels.

00:23:00.843 --> 00:23:02.084
He has not thrown a pick yet.

00:23:02.084 --> 00:23:09.608
Okay, just like CJ didn't throw a pick until later in the season, caleb has thrown four at least.

00:23:09.608 --> 00:23:11.730
Caleb's been sacked 13 times.

00:23:11.730 --> 00:23:13.830
Jaden's been sacked nine times.

00:23:14.751 --> 00:23:23.718
And the other thing that stands out to me I was expecting to see, especially with his style of play, I was expecting to see a huge amount of rushing yards from Jaden.

00:23:23.718 --> 00:23:25.462
It's not that much.

00:23:25.462 --> 00:23:26.540
He's throwing that ball.

00:23:26.540 --> 00:23:28.789
So I was really surprised by that.

00:23:28.789 --> 00:23:31.820
And he's also with all of that, and I wouldn't have thought this.

00:23:31.820 --> 00:23:33.143
He's thrown for more yards.

00:23:33.143 --> 00:23:36.250
He's thrown for six 64 and Caleb's thrown for six 30.

00:23:36.810 --> 00:23:39.943
So, um, I think some of that is is talent.

00:23:39.943 --> 00:23:42.047
Um, a lot of that is coaching.

00:23:42.047 --> 00:23:45.673
Uh and um, they definitely are going to have to, I think.

00:23:45.673 --> 00:23:50.981
I think the biggest issue is the, the coaching, and if they can bring in the coach, can bring the right scheme in for caleb.

00:23:50.981 --> 00:23:52.307
He's got to get rid of the ball.

00:23:52.307 --> 00:23:54.015
It's not all the offensive line.

00:23:54.015 --> 00:23:58.067
He was known for holding on to the ball too long in college and he's doing the same thing.

00:23:58.067 --> 00:24:00.643
He's got to get rid of the ball at least a second soon.

00:24:01.285 --> 00:24:04.752
So, any any last words from you guys on this one?

00:24:04.752 --> 00:24:07.298
I know I rambled a little bit on that one.

00:24:07.298 --> 00:24:10.963
We good, we good, alright, cool, cool.

00:24:10.963 --> 00:24:11.826
Hit us with your comments.

00:24:11.826 --> 00:24:12.441
Let us know.

00:24:12.441 --> 00:24:17.046
Did the Bears get this one wrong or are they just fine?

00:24:17.046 --> 00:24:18.269
Do we just need to give it time?

00:24:18.269 --> 00:24:21.203
Do we need to fire a few people and everything's going to be fine?

00:24:21.203 --> 00:24:22.741
Caleb's still going to go in the Hall of Fame.

00:24:22.741 --> 00:24:23.724
Let us know.

00:24:23.724 --> 00:24:25.851
We want to get your take on this All right.

00:24:25.851 --> 00:24:28.506
So let's move on.

00:24:28.506 --> 00:24:30.791
All right for you Steeler fans.

00:24:30.791 --> 00:24:33.247
Hey, steelers are tearing it up.

00:24:33.247 --> 00:24:34.566
They are 3-0.

00:24:34.566 --> 00:24:40.529
Hey, we all talked about the Ravens, we talked about the Bengals, but look at here.

00:24:40.529 --> 00:24:46.776
Les Diego said well, well, well, steelers are the ones sitting at 3-0.

00:24:46.776 --> 00:24:47.220
Is that just schedule?

00:24:47.220 --> 00:24:48.382
Is that you know?

00:24:48.382 --> 00:24:52.550
Are there other factors that are the reason for that?

00:24:52.550 --> 00:24:54.074
Let us know, diego.

00:24:54.074 --> 00:24:56.407
Are the Steelers the best team in the AFC?

00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.886
So I think current well, AFC North.

00:25:00.207 --> 00:25:01.891
Oh yeah, afc North, afc North, thank you.

00:25:01.891 --> 00:25:06.106
Afc North, not AFC AFC North, afc North, thank you AFC North, not AFC AFC North.

00:25:06.227 --> 00:25:09.433
Currently the Steelers are the best team in the AFC North.

00:25:09.433 --> 00:25:10.624
I mean with the body of work.

00:25:10.624 --> 00:25:12.549
The Ravens struggled.

00:25:12.549 --> 00:25:20.189
They lost at home to the Raiders, which is a very bad loss, and the Bengals are 0-3.

00:25:20.189 --> 00:25:22.728
They're just not looking good.

00:25:22.728 --> 00:25:29.546
Browns are 1-2, coming off a loss of giants at home, and the steelers are sitting here.

00:25:29.546 --> 00:25:34.902
They want every game, uh, defense and play good, even justin fields and playing okay.

00:25:34.902 --> 00:25:48.125
So I mean, yeah, I think the steelers two is I've been doing a good job and steers the best team in the afc north right now okay well, they're playing what I call typical sealer football.

00:25:48.165 --> 00:25:49.431
You know it's ball control.

00:25:49.431 --> 00:25:50.655
They're gonna play defense.

00:25:50.655 --> 00:25:52.121
They're like just the fields.

00:25:52.121 --> 00:25:53.865
Don't mess this up for us, just don't.

00:25:53.865 --> 00:25:54.847
Just.

00:25:54.847 --> 00:25:56.291
We're gonna keep it simple.

00:25:56.372 --> 00:26:36.049
You have like the opportunity to make three or four big plays, then we're gonna win this game because our defense is gonna shut people down so I believe that's the way they've been playing is really good and I hate to bring up the schedule again, but their division like starting November 17th, they play all their division opponents plus the Eagles and the Chiefs, so we will definitely see what type of they are towards the end of the season, because all those teams who are still going to be tough outs, plus arguably the best team in the AFC and one of the best teams in the NFC to end the season.

00:26:36.049 --> 00:26:43.570
We're going to definitely see if this 3-0 record is, if it was fool's gold early in the season or if they really got something.

00:26:43.570 --> 00:26:45.676
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:26:45.676 --> 00:26:48.227
That's what makes me nervous.

00:26:48.227 --> 00:26:53.105
It's like they look good and it looks like they can stack these wins, but towards that that's a tough.

00:26:53.587 --> 00:26:54.028
That is.

00:26:54.028 --> 00:26:56.546
Yeah, you're absolutely right, chris.

00:26:56.546 --> 00:26:57.589
That is a tough schedule.

00:26:57.589 --> 00:26:59.026
I think a lot of it has to do with the schedule.

00:26:59.026 --> 00:27:01.262
Tomlin's doing a great job coaching.

00:27:01.262 --> 00:27:10.797
If you play defense in the NFL and don't turn the ball over, you're going to be in pretty much every game and have a great chance to win.

00:27:10.797 --> 00:27:14.707
More games are lost than they are won in the NFL, as we see.

00:27:14.707 --> 00:27:22.148
So they're doing a great job with that and Justin Fields is doing a great job 73% completing percentage.

00:27:22.148 --> 00:27:24.848
He's doing a strong job managing the team.

00:27:24.848 --> 00:27:27.065
Yeah, it's tough.

00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:41.287
As far as best in the AFC North, I would have to say I would still have to give it to the Ravens, although I'm discouraged by the performance against the Cowboys and just how they've looked.

00:27:41.287 --> 00:27:50.653
It's like they came out the best against the Chiefs and it's like they haven't recovered from losing to them yet again.

00:27:50.653 --> 00:27:55.402
You know there's the I guess you've got the championship game hangover, so to speak.

00:27:55.402 --> 00:28:01.912
But then they faced them that first game and you had Lamar Jackson dipping his shoulder and, you know, playing dangerously.

00:28:01.912 --> 00:28:09.367
They got through that game healthy, fortunately, but again they lost there at the end in heartbreaking fashion and I feel like they haven't gotten over that.

00:28:09.367 --> 00:28:15.650
So I feel that they will get their second win win and then be able to push through.

00:28:15.650 --> 00:28:19.589
I don't think they're going to be both Buffalo this this Sunday night.

00:28:19.589 --> 00:28:31.069
I think they're going to lose that one, but I do feel that they are the, the, the class of the, the afc north yeah, yeah so yeah one thing that's interesting is justin feels.

00:28:31.150 --> 00:28:35.162
Now he's the qb2 on the depth chart, so is he?

00:28:35.162 --> 00:28:41.691
Really yeah, that's, that's new, so I don't know the way justin's been playing wrestling.

00:28:41.711 --> 00:28:43.634
Yeah, you got it, you got it.

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:49.506
Yeah, I think they should keep Fields in.

00:28:49.506 --> 00:28:51.435
Yeah, they definitely need to keep Fields, definitely need to keep Fields.

00:28:51.435 --> 00:28:52.282
Let us know.

00:28:52.282 --> 00:28:57.868
In the comments y'all should first of all tell us hey, are the Steelers the best in the AFC North?

00:28:57.868 --> 00:28:59.705
So yeah, we're missing a word there.

00:28:59.705 --> 00:29:02.145
That's on me Are they the best in the AFC North?

00:29:02.145 --> 00:29:03.587
And me, are they the best in the NFC North, afc North?

00:29:03.587 --> 00:29:11.467
And hey, let us know, should Fields keep the starting position or should they give your boy, russ, a chance so they let him cook?

00:29:11.467 --> 00:29:14.692
Come in and cook for him, cook a little something up.

00:29:15.037 --> 00:29:15.138
No.

00:29:16.865 --> 00:29:18.859
No, okay, we got some no's here.

00:29:19.080 --> 00:29:23.231
Stay on the sidelines, hey.

00:29:23.292 --> 00:29:23.734
Brandon?

00:29:23.734 --> 00:29:27.821
Brandon, let us know, man, should they let Russ cook Is is?

00:29:27.821 --> 00:29:30.369
Is that the missing ingredient to take over the Ravens?

00:29:30.369 --> 00:29:34.990
Or let us know, brandon, we know you're going to keep it.

00:29:34.990 --> 00:29:38.382
You're going to keep it real with us, okay, all right.

00:29:38.382 --> 00:29:41.645
So, uh, hey, man, let's get to our no brainer.

00:29:41.645 --> 00:29:44.690
So we've got to get to our week four picks.

00:29:44.690 --> 00:29:48.474
Really excited about this man.

00:29:48.474 --> 00:29:53.788
And hey again, next week we're going to be at Kings, so we got some special guests there.

00:29:53.788 --> 00:29:58.068
We'll keep plugging that throughout the show, but we're really excited about that.

00:29:58.068 --> 00:29:59.704
So fields is a start until he's not.

00:29:59.704 --> 00:30:04.169
Okay, brandon, yeah, we, we thought that would be your take, just wanted to make sure.

00:30:04.169 --> 00:30:05.271
Definitely wanted to get your take.

00:30:05.271 --> 00:30:09.548
Can't wait for you to join us in a little bit, but we're about to make our week four picks.

00:30:09.548 --> 00:30:13.830
Man, we disagree on probably more games than we ever have.

00:30:13.830 --> 00:30:17.122
So Desmond Clark has sent his picks in Again.

00:30:17.122 --> 00:30:19.349
Diego won week three.

00:30:19.349 --> 00:30:24.449
So Diego's won two weeks in a row and he's so confident and cocky.

00:30:24.449 --> 00:30:26.144
Okay, who is that?

00:30:26.144 --> 00:30:27.346
What's the beat here?

00:30:27.888 --> 00:30:28.810
Sorry, that's me Okay.

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.849
Diego is so confident and cocky that two things One, he didn't even bring the chain to the show this week.

00:30:36.849 --> 00:30:41.019
So I guess, okay, we're not rocking the chain that Deanna made, I can get the chain.

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:44.044
Okay, I'll go ahead and get the chain.

00:30:44.044 --> 00:30:45.967
Be quick, man, because we live man, All right.

00:30:45.967 --> 00:30:47.067
So he's going to get the chain.

00:30:47.067 --> 00:30:52.414
And he also is on an island for six games.

00:30:52.414 --> 00:30:54.301
So that's a record.

00:30:54.301 --> 00:30:56.650
So we disagreed on 10 games this week.

00:30:56.650 --> 00:31:01.529
So we're going to dive into all these, but first we're going to go into our no-brainers.

00:31:01.529 --> 00:31:03.126
We only agree on six games.

00:31:03.126 --> 00:31:14.984
So let me go ahead and bring that slide up here and dive into the six games that we agree on, and then we'll go into the nine, because we already had the Dallas Giant game that we disagreed on.

00:31:14.984 --> 00:31:15.346
All right.

00:31:15.346 --> 00:31:19.205
So, Diego, go ahead and kick us off with our no-brainers.

00:31:19.859 --> 00:31:25.151
All right, no-brainers, we got the New Orleans Saints going to Atlanta to play the Falcons.

00:31:25.151 --> 00:31:29.164
Y'all got the Saints in this one, we're all picking the underdog.

00:31:29.184 --> 00:31:29.968
We're all picking the underdog.

00:31:30.059 --> 00:31:31.907
So, yeah, I have the Saints to win.

00:31:31.907 --> 00:31:42.188
They bounce back from a loss to the Eagles, go to Atlanta and I think Atlanta's a little overrated this year actually so I think New Orleans can go in there and get a win.

00:31:42.509 --> 00:31:42.769
Okay.

00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:45.681
What do you think?

00:31:45.681 --> 00:31:50.650
Chris, A little concerned with New Orleans' injuries, but I do believe they still have the better team overall.

00:31:50.650 --> 00:31:51.727
I got New Orleans in this one.

00:31:52.310 --> 00:31:54.346
Okay, you got New Orleans in this one.

00:31:54.346 --> 00:31:59.506
Now I wonder, are we all just trying to save face because we said they were for real last week?

00:32:01.611 --> 00:32:02.132
Not really.

00:32:02.132 --> 00:32:04.704
The Eagles played a special game First.

00:32:04.704 --> 00:32:06.669
That was first off.

00:32:06.669 --> 00:32:13.826
Their starting center went out, so that was another issue and they really couldn't run the ball like they wanted to and the Eagles have a really good front.

00:32:13.826 --> 00:32:24.423
But yeah, that was actually a really good game, like good old defensive game, offensive fireworks towards the end, but that was I don't know.

00:32:24.423 --> 00:32:25.082
I don't think.

00:32:25.082 --> 00:32:41.478
I think it's that whole thing where it's like you know the Cressler 300 and Phantom thing, like you think it's a Cressler 300, until you see the Phantom pull up the Eagles, in this case obviously the Phantom, and you know they show that they're still the class of the NFC, all right, all right.

00:32:42.125 --> 00:32:43.506
So let's go to our next one.

00:32:43.506 --> 00:32:44.086
No brainer.

00:32:44.646 --> 00:32:45.428
Take it away, diego, all right.

00:32:45.428 --> 00:32:46.148
Next, no brainer.

00:32:46.148 --> 00:32:50.633
Next no-brainer the Jacksonville Jaguars traveling to Houston to play the Texans.

00:32:50.633 --> 00:32:53.194
We all have the Texans in this one.

00:32:53.194 --> 00:32:58.859
All the Jaguars that you said were going to have a good year go to 0-4.

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:00.101
Why are you bringing up old stuff?

00:33:00.121 --> 00:33:01.402
man, why are you bringing up old stuff?

00:33:01.402 --> 00:33:03.430
0-4.

00:33:03.430 --> 00:33:04.513
We all got the Texans, though.

00:33:04.513 --> 00:33:14.541
They're just the better team and they're at home, and they lost last week week to Minnesota and you know Diggs is going to be mad about that and they're going to try to get another win on the board.

00:33:15.041 --> 00:33:15.903
Definitely, definitely.

00:33:15.903 --> 00:33:17.411
Yeah, anything on this, Chris?

00:33:17.411 --> 00:33:18.569
Probably not much on this one.

00:33:18.569 --> 00:33:19.951
No, Houston's got it.

00:33:20.845 --> 00:33:22.271
Jackson has been struggling.

00:33:22.271 --> 00:33:24.849
You know Houston's.

00:33:24.849 --> 00:33:30.096
The thing that's concerned me is how they start out a little slow offensively.

00:33:30.096 --> 00:33:36.435
The Vikings game was a little bit alarming, but I don't believe that the Jags have the horses to keep up with the Texans.

00:33:36.435 --> 00:33:38.489
So we got the Texans in this one.

00:33:39.030 --> 00:33:40.674
All right, got the Texans.

00:33:40.674 --> 00:33:41.196
What's next?

00:33:41.684 --> 00:33:54.609
Next game is the Denver Broncos going to New York to play the Jets and we all have the Jets in this one, the Jets Denver coming off a long road trip coming from the West Coast.

00:33:54.609 --> 00:34:06.017
Jets had a long week because they played on Thursday night last week so they got some rest Aaron Rodgers, a rest at Achilles and have a good game, good game.

00:34:06.017 --> 00:34:08.038
So I think Jets got it Okay.

00:34:08.057 --> 00:34:09.018
All right, yeah, yeah, you agree, chris.

00:34:09.018 --> 00:34:09.639
Yep got the Jets it.

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.159
Okay, all right, yeah, yeah, you agree, chris.

00:34:11.621 --> 00:34:12.961
Yep Got the Jets in this one.

00:34:13.242 --> 00:34:14.541
All right, we got the Jets.

00:34:14.541 --> 00:34:15.302
What's the next one?

00:34:19.764 --> 00:34:20.088
Next game is the.

00:34:20.088 --> 00:34:23.110
Patriots going to San Fran to play the Niners and we all have the Niners in this one Still banged up.

00:34:23.110 --> 00:34:25.934
Looks like they'll probably get Kittle back.

00:34:32.525 --> 00:34:34.331
They might still be without debo, debo and mccaffrey, but got still got the niners.

00:34:34.331 --> 00:34:34.871
Yeah, this is pretty funny.

00:34:34.871 --> 00:34:37.501
With all of, with all those injuries, they're a 10 point favorite.

00:34:37.501 --> 00:34:40.389
That is a lot in the nfl, that's.

00:34:40.449 --> 00:34:47.769
That's pretty funny I mean jordan mason and juwan jennings have like filled in the roles, so that's definitely helped out.

00:34:47.769 --> 00:34:52.778
So I got san francisco in this one okay, all right.

00:34:52.978 --> 00:34:53.400
What's the?

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:54.548
What's the next one?

00:34:54.911 --> 00:34:58.405
next one is the tight tennessee titans going to miami to play the dolphins.

00:34:58.405 --> 00:35:07.349
Y'all got miami, um, they coming off a few losses, uh, recently, but uh, tennessee is arguably the worst team in football.

00:35:07.349 --> 00:35:12.105
So, and the dolphins being at home, uh, I want to get a win on the board.

00:35:12.264 --> 00:35:19.666
Try to keep their playoff chances alive yeah, now with with this one, I mean uh well, did you agree with that, chris?

00:35:19.666 --> 00:35:21.831
I mean, it's only a one point spread in this.

00:35:22.012 --> 00:35:25.465
I mean dolphins tyler humley has played enough.

00:35:25.465 --> 00:35:27.369
Good has done enough.

00:35:27.369 --> 00:35:30.074
I believe in the n the NFL to show me something.

00:35:30.074 --> 00:35:33.099
Plus he has Tyreek and Waddle Tennessee.

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:34.170
They don't have that.

00:35:34.170 --> 00:35:37.755
And of course Will Levis is a concern because he's a turnover waiting to happen.

00:35:37.755 --> 00:35:40.985
So obviously got Miami in this one Now.

00:35:41.045 --> 00:35:43.572
Speaking of, so we know Des Desmond Clark.

00:35:43.572 --> 00:35:46.077
He lost to Diego again so he's missing.

00:35:46.077 --> 00:35:49.414
But we also need to put an APB out for Tyreek.

00:35:49.414 --> 00:35:50.001
Has anybody seen Tyreek?

00:35:50.001 --> 00:35:50.268
But we also need to put an APB out for Tyreek.

00:35:50.268 --> 00:35:50.697
Has anybody seen Tyreek?

00:35:50.697 --> 00:35:56.992
Did he end up getting arrested by the cop a couple weeks ago and we just don't know it?

00:35:56.992 --> 00:36:00.155
I have not seen Tyreek, has he?

00:36:00.806 --> 00:36:10.065
he hasn't had to he hasn't had anybody thrown to him, you just had him get in the tart like Stella Thompson.

00:36:10.085 --> 00:36:11.648
it's on Michael Daniel to scheme it up and help him out.

00:36:11.648 --> 00:36:12.168
Anybody throwing to him?

00:36:12.188 --> 00:36:13.489
Okay, you just had him getting the tart like.

00:36:13.489 --> 00:36:14.090
If you know him Like.

00:36:14.090 --> 00:36:16.273
Again, it's on Mike McDaniel to scheme it up and help him out.

00:36:16.273 --> 00:36:16.614
Okay, yeah.

00:36:16.635 --> 00:36:18.076
Yeah, great coaching McDaniel.

00:36:18.096 --> 00:36:20.119
The best receiver in the league isn't getting the ball.

00:36:20.219 --> 00:36:20.940
Well, hey this.

00:36:20.940 --> 00:36:21.661
What's that about?

00:36:24.329 --> 00:36:33.181
This, this Because again I've seen this story before A very weak Tennessee Titan team goes into Miami.

00:36:33.181 --> 00:36:34.670
This is a primetime game too.

00:36:34.670 --> 00:36:35.994
They've got prize.

00:36:35.994 --> 00:36:38.570
It's Monday night.

00:36:38.570 --> 00:36:40.251
It's a Monday night football game.

00:36:40.251 --> 00:36:48.215
I think they're doing the two Monday night games again, and yeah, so again they get a check as well.

00:36:48.215 --> 00:36:52.003
They're going to come in, and I tell you what they better get the ball to Tyreek.

00:36:52.003 --> 00:36:58.052
They better scheme something up and get him the ball, because if we can't find him this week, they're going to take a L.

00:36:58.052 --> 00:37:01.972
There's a reason why they're only a one-point favorite at home on Monday night.

00:37:01.972 --> 00:37:04.391
We're going to see about that.

00:37:04.391 --> 00:37:06.451
Yeah, we're going to see about that.

00:37:06.451 --> 00:37:12.666
Oh man, all right, shout out about that.

00:37:12.666 --> 00:37:13.929
Oh man, all right, shout out to again everybody's.

00:37:13.929 --> 00:37:14.391
I see a lot of folks.

00:37:14.391 --> 00:37:15.114
Uh, we see uh again.

00:37:15.114 --> 00:37:15.956
Live, you're gonna be joining us.

00:37:15.956 --> 00:37:17.059
Uh, our golf phenom, we see you.

00:37:17.059 --> 00:37:18.505
We see gridiron gang football.

00:37:18.505 --> 00:37:19.467
We see mike.

00:37:19.467 --> 00:37:21.032
Uh, we see everybody.

00:37:21.032 --> 00:37:21.534
We see you.

00:37:21.534 --> 00:37:23.519
All right, let's uh go.

00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:24.543
We've got another.

00:37:24.543 --> 00:37:26.989
We got one more no-brainer last one more.

00:37:27.170 --> 00:37:28.231
Uh, seattle seahawk.

00:37:28.231 --> 00:37:29.835
Is this another doublehead?

00:37:29.835 --> 00:37:30.336
Doubleheader?

00:37:30.336 --> 00:37:31.302
Yeah, another doubleheader.

00:37:31.302 --> 00:37:31.690
Monday night week.

00:37:31.690 --> 00:37:31.855
So, uh, seattle seahawks.

00:37:31.855 --> 00:37:32.157
Wait, is this another doubleheader?

00:37:32.157 --> 00:37:32.619
Monday night yeah, another doubleheader.

00:37:32.619 --> 00:37:32.748
Monday night week.

00:37:32.748 --> 00:37:35.536
So, seattle Seahawks going to Detroit to play the Lions.

00:37:35.536 --> 00:37:38.190
We got Detroit in this one Seattle.

00:37:38.190 --> 00:37:39.264
They've been on a hot streak.

00:37:39.264 --> 00:37:42.715
So I think all that comes to an end this week.

00:37:42.715 --> 00:37:48.871
Please, detroit, because Detroit's the real deal, and they're going to try to get a win at home.

00:37:48.871 --> 00:37:53.452
Primetime yeah, real deal, and they're going to try to get a win at home primetime.

00:37:53.492 --> 00:37:56.322
Yeah, seattle, and hey, you picked against seattle all three, all three weeks, all three weeks lost.

00:37:56.382 --> 00:37:56.864
And you said detroit.

00:37:56.864 --> 00:37:58.327
Yes, seattle's gotten on my freaking nerves.

00:37:58.327 --> 00:38:03.827
I hope detroit beats them by 50, but uh, chris, what's your take on this one man?

00:38:03.887 --> 00:38:05.472
I got detroit, they're gonna.

00:38:05.472 --> 00:38:12.556
I believe this is the first real team seattle's played so detroit definitely will show out on Monday night.

00:38:14.045 --> 00:38:18.012
Yeah, I think you're just saying that because you lost all, because you're still mad.

00:38:19.166 --> 00:38:20.371
I'm just talking ball right now.

00:38:20.371 --> 00:38:22.893
This is the best team that Seattle has played on.

00:38:23.425 --> 00:38:24.769
It definitely is buddy.

00:38:24.769 --> 00:38:25.472
I think there's.

00:38:26.548 --> 00:38:27.452
Yeah, this is personal.

00:38:27.452 --> 00:38:28.706
Do it for me, detroit.

00:38:28.706 --> 00:38:29.648
Come on, come on, do it for me.

00:38:29.648 --> 00:38:30.389
Yeah, all yeah, this is personal.

00:38:30.389 --> 00:38:31.391
Do it for me, detroit.

00:38:31.391 --> 00:38:32.012
Come on, come on, do it.

00:38:32.012 --> 00:38:32.373
Do it for me.

00:38:32.373 --> 00:38:32.773
Yeah, all right.

00:38:32.773 --> 00:38:34.237
So All right.

00:38:34.237 --> 00:38:35.438
So let's get into man.

00:38:35.438 --> 00:38:36.059
We disagree.

00:38:36.059 --> 00:38:41.150
We got nine island games to dive into.

00:38:41.150 --> 00:38:41.853
This is going to settle the chain.

00:38:41.853 --> 00:38:42.315
It's about time.

00:38:42.315 --> 00:38:42.918
So, yeah, I've been slipping.

00:38:42.918 --> 00:38:44.184
So, yeah, I've been reckless.

00:38:44.184 --> 00:38:47.451
I've been making some awful picks, so pick wise again.

00:38:47.451 --> 00:38:49.353
I'm spreading a lot of different directions.

00:38:49.353 --> 00:38:54.985
All right, I'm hosting the show, you know I'm, you know, killing it and picking pro fantasy.

00:38:54.985 --> 00:38:55.887
I'm doing all these things.

00:38:55.887 --> 00:38:59.998
So it's hard to, you know, be amazing at everything.

00:38:59.998 --> 00:39:08.996
So my pick so far, these first four weeks have taken a hit, I admit it, but there's time to recover and I will recover.

00:39:08.996 --> 00:39:10.009
It's OK.

00:39:10.009 --> 00:39:10.612
It's OK to be off.

00:39:10.612 --> 00:39:12.239
It's time to recover and I will recover, it's okay.

00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:13.184
It's okay to be off, it's okay.

00:39:14.005 --> 00:39:16.893
When you're going against a picker like me, it's just hard to keep up.

00:39:19.047 --> 00:39:21.134
At least you're beating Dez, so he's missing.

00:39:21.134 --> 00:39:22.431
So I appreciate that.

00:39:22.431 --> 00:39:26.210
So you're repping for the Thompsons, but I've got to come in and do my part.

00:39:26.210 --> 00:39:30.980
So I'm definitely going to get the chain this week and rep it the way that it's supposed to be, rep.

00:39:30.980 --> 00:39:34.635
So you're going to see, you're going to see the chain swinging this week for sure.

00:39:34.635 --> 00:39:35.327
So, thank you.

00:39:35.327 --> 00:39:36.530
So that's what I'm talking about.

00:39:36.530 --> 00:39:37.735
Got got my back.

00:39:37.735 --> 00:39:40.431
So schedule is hectic, all right.

00:39:41.052 --> 00:39:43.318
So, man, let's start with the first one.

00:39:43.318 --> 00:39:46.750
So the first island game, man, is Dez's game.

00:39:46.750 --> 00:39:49.815
So I've got the commanders at the, the Cardinals.

00:39:49.815 --> 00:39:55.753
The Cardinals are a three-and-a-half-point favorite at home and Dez has the Commanders.

00:39:55.753 --> 00:39:59.445
And now, again, the Commanders are good.

00:39:59.445 --> 00:40:04.577
So we were just talking about how they look and talking about Daniels and all that.

00:40:04.577 --> 00:40:11.188
And hey, they went and beat the Bengals in Cincinnati, although we're going to find out over these next few weeks just how big of a win that was.

00:40:11.188 --> 00:40:14.554
Um, but man, the cardinals look good.

00:40:14.554 --> 00:40:17.059
Uh, kyler, look, looks really good.

00:40:17.059 --> 00:40:21.032
And that combo with harrison, um, what's your take on this one, diego?

00:40:21.474 --> 00:40:25.130
see, I got the cardinals, of course, and I like, I just like the cardinals.

00:40:25.130 --> 00:40:26.793
They're a pretty cool team to watch.

00:40:26.793 --> 00:40:33.208
You know, kyler being back healthy, marv doing his thing, connor running, running aggressively and being a great bat.

00:40:33.208 --> 00:40:39.693
So, uh, yeah, of course, I got the cardinals and I don't really think the commander's that legit anyway, so I'm just all right.

00:40:39.693 --> 00:40:43.471
I think the car is just a better team all right, shots fired.

00:40:43.532 --> 00:40:44.193
What do you think, chris?

00:40:44.815 --> 00:40:47.164
well, I think this is gonna be another shootout.

00:40:47.164 --> 00:40:52.016
Uh yeah, because both teams have their struggles on defense.

00:40:52.016 --> 00:40:54.391
But I don't know.

00:40:54.391 --> 00:40:58.773
I feel like the Cardinals might be more experienced in games like this, so I have to watch this.

00:40:58.793 --> 00:41:01.599
Yeah, all right, cool, so yeah, we all got them.

00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:14.010
So yeah, dez needs to lose this one and he'll stay, although he's going to have to somewhat come out because we need him at least virtually next week at Kings he's hiding for right now.

00:41:14.010 --> 00:41:15.695
Brandon's got Cardinals.

00:41:15.695 --> 00:41:18.130
We know we're on the right track here.

00:41:18.130 --> 00:41:25.612
Now I've got two Island games to dig into before we get to Diego's crazy six Island games Again.

00:41:25.612 --> 00:41:30.887
Diego's being reckless now, as most young bucks get, but that's okay.

00:41:30.887 --> 00:41:34.969
He's going to come back to the means, going to come back to the pack and help us out.

00:41:34.969 --> 00:41:37.155
I appreciate that, son.

00:41:38.077 --> 00:41:41.070
We've got the Vikings at the Packers.

00:41:41.070 --> 00:41:42.855
I am on an island here.

00:41:42.855 --> 00:41:45.586
The Green Bay Packers are a two and a half point favorite at home.

00:41:45.586 --> 00:41:47.992
Yeah, I know the Vikings look good.

00:41:47.992 --> 00:41:51.471
I know the Vikings have won some games that people didn't think they were going to win.

00:41:51.471 --> 00:41:57.431
A lot of people thought they were going to be the bottom of the NFC North, but that is clouding all of your judgment.

00:41:57.431 --> 00:41:58.795
You're all clouded by that.

00:41:58.795 --> 00:42:02.411
Ok, you don't realize what the Packers are.

00:42:02.411 --> 00:42:04.855
The Packers, the Packers are.

00:42:04.855 --> 00:42:07.480
Love is expected to play and they're at home.

00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:10.530
I've got the Packers winning this game.

00:42:10.530 --> 00:42:13.898
I also feel that the Vikings are due for a letdown.

00:42:13.898 --> 00:42:15.331
They've had a lot of big wins.

00:42:15.331 --> 00:42:23.016
I think they're going to come down a little bit and they're going to drop this one and get their first loss of the year in Green Bay.

00:42:23.016 --> 00:42:23.858
What do you think?

00:42:23.878 --> 00:42:24.057
Diego.

00:42:24.057 --> 00:42:29.893
I mean, sam Darnold is looking great and I just think they're just going to keep playing.

00:42:29.893 --> 00:42:36.860
Well, the Vikings and the packers kind of wanted to pick the packers in this one.

00:42:36.860 --> 00:42:40.590
I didn't know love was gonna play, but uh, I'm gonna defend the vikings.

00:42:40.590 --> 00:42:42.335
Justin jefferson, he's a great receiver.

00:42:42.335 --> 00:42:47.632
So, uh, yeah, go with the vikings okay, what do you think, chris?

00:42:48.052 --> 00:42:50.777
so my uncle would disown me if I didn't pick the packers.

00:42:50.777 --> 00:42:51.945
So I'm picking them.

00:42:51.945 --> 00:42:56.835
Um, all right, one for that reason and two love being back.

00:42:56.835 --> 00:43:09.628
It's going to revitalize that team and the fact that they played so well when with malik willis, everybody was like, oh, this guy's falling, they're not even gonna make the playoffs and you know that's a testament to matt lafleur's coaching.

00:43:09.628 --> 00:43:16.378
So I think, when it comes out of coaching the way they run the ball, I I think it's going to be a very good game by the Packers.

00:43:16.438 --> 00:43:18.387
Yeah that's going to be a good one.

00:43:18.387 --> 00:43:27.967
We'll be, uh, if this is a one o'clock and we'll have this on our phone, so we'll have YouTube TV while we're, uh, sitting there at the Panther game tomorrow, so we'll be able to check everything out.

00:43:27.967 --> 00:43:33.840
So, yeah, we'll keep a close eye on what's on everything that's going on, all right, oh, so that's uh.

00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:36.266
So, yeah, everybody sided with me, man, so you know what I mean.

00:43:36.266 --> 00:43:38.932
I got, I got my guy brandon, I got chris, everybody knows.

00:43:38.932 --> 00:43:42.411
Oh, yeah, I'm definitely getting the chain deanna, I'm a rep this week.

00:43:42.411 --> 00:43:49.710
I'm definitely gonna have to change this week, all right, so next one, the next one that I'm on the island with.

00:43:49.710 --> 00:43:55.869
Yeah, we got the Chiefs traveling to the Chargers and the Chiefs it's a home game, ok, no, no.

00:43:55.909 --> 00:43:58.597
Just because it says the Chargers are at home.

00:43:58.597 --> 00:44:01.030
This is a Chiefs home game, trust me.

00:44:01.731 --> 00:44:03.956
Oh, ok, I got you, I got you.

00:44:03.956 --> 00:44:07.527
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that.

00:44:07.527 --> 00:44:08.369
That's a good point.

00:44:08.369 --> 00:44:10.110
That is a good point.

00:44:10.110 --> 00:44:12.052
Seven and a half, I mean.

00:44:12.052 --> 00:44:13.835
I'm surprised the spread is that big.

00:44:13.835 --> 00:44:15.177
I mean this is a divisional game.

00:44:15.177 --> 00:44:22.596
Chris, you were just talking about this last week how, with the Chargers, we were really interested to see when they faced each other.

00:44:22.596 --> 00:44:29.297
Now the Chargers lost last week, but hey, that may actually help them coming into this game, who knows?

00:44:29.297 --> 00:44:32.014
And the Chiefs have been squeaking by.

00:44:32.014 --> 00:44:32.824
The Chiefs could easily be 0-3.

00:44:32.824 --> 00:44:35.233
So what's the reality?

00:44:35.233 --> 00:44:37.231
Can't wait to see how this shakes out.

00:44:37.231 --> 00:44:41.657
But I've got the Chargers taking care of business in this game.

00:44:41.657 --> 00:44:49.092
Jim Harbaugh is going to coach them up and they're going to give the Chiefs their first loss and definitely solidify the chain.

00:44:49.092 --> 00:44:54.268
For myself, diego's got the Chiefs.

00:44:54.288 --> 00:44:55.791
I see Brandon's got the Chiefs, chris, who you got?

00:44:55.791 --> 00:44:56.152
I have the Chiefs.

00:44:56.152 --> 00:44:57.817
I'm sorry, the charters are banged up right now.

00:44:57.817 --> 00:45:01.913
This is it'd be different if Derwin James wasn't.

00:45:01.913 --> 00:45:07.911
If Derwin James was playing and there Justin Herbert didn't already have some lingering injury concerns.

00:45:07.911 --> 00:45:16.289
So you know, as much as I like the whole justin herbert mahomes thing, it's my home's division.

00:45:16.289 --> 00:45:23.820
They're so right and I really doubt last year was the first year we really saw them like seem to crumble versus division opponents like that.

00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:28.733
But I I really believe that they'll get it together and they'll be the chargers this week.

00:45:28.733 --> 00:45:30.135
I got the troops on this one man.

00:45:30.135 --> 00:45:30.577
I'm sorry.

00:45:33.045 --> 00:45:36.927
All good, I'm on a total island on this one.

00:45:36.927 --> 00:45:37.188
It's good.

00:45:37.188 --> 00:45:37.731
I like that.

00:45:37.731 --> 00:45:38.947
I like being on an island.

00:45:38.947 --> 00:45:46.567
It's kind of like Diego when he's playing corner, or your sidekick Jalen, who will be with us tomorrow.

00:45:46.567 --> 00:45:50.545
You guys are on an island, doing your thing, shutting down.

00:45:50.545 --> 00:45:54.114
I'm on an island, you know, doing your thing, shutting down, and you know I'm on an island on this one man, I'm a rep.

00:45:54.114 --> 00:45:58.831
I'm a rep and you guys are going to realize, see, this is the game that's going to prove that I'm back.

00:45:58.831 --> 00:46:01.226
All right, because there's been a question.

00:46:01.226 --> 00:46:03.309
Okay, you guys have been questioning.

00:46:03.309 --> 00:46:04.851
Okay, my picking this year.

00:46:04.851 --> 00:46:11.500
This is going to show that I'm back and this is going to be the perfect segue to go into our live show at Kings.

00:46:11.500 --> 00:46:14.690
You know what I mean.

00:46:14.690 --> 00:46:15.255
It's going to be great.

00:46:15.255 --> 00:46:16.927
Matter of fact, I might even come on set after y'all.

00:46:16.927 --> 00:46:20.867
We'll probably have some music, I'll probably come in with a band and all of that.

00:46:21.048 --> 00:46:29.652
It's going to be theatrical You're not going to want to miss this I don't know what band you're going to find I'm going to come, coming with the Clayton High Band.

00:46:29.652 --> 00:46:36.021
Yeah, since we got the Clayton High Coach, we'll have to see if we can get the Clayton High Band to join me and bring me in.

00:46:38.905 --> 00:46:40.791
You can stop thinking about that, because you already know.

00:46:40.791 --> 00:46:44.123
See, these island games are what make and break a person.

00:46:44.123 --> 00:46:50.197
You know what I'm saying, so being gutsy and picking these island games is the difference.

00:46:50.197 --> 00:46:56.989
So my first island game is the Bengals at the Panthers and I'm picking the Bengals.

00:46:56.989 --> 00:46:57.472
What?

00:46:57.472 --> 00:46:59.762
I'm on an island with the Bengals Word what.

00:47:00.286 --> 00:47:01.952
Dude you're born to the game.

00:47:01.952 --> 00:47:03.882
What is happening to Diego?

00:47:03.882 --> 00:47:07.132
Who kidnapped him?

00:47:07.132 --> 00:47:08.114
What?

00:47:08.896 --> 00:47:10.690
What I got, a strategy okay.

00:47:10.690 --> 00:47:23.590
So I mean, I know the Panthers are the legit Super Bowl contender and I know all that, but just the Bengals, they're 0-3, right, and they're just going to want.

00:47:23.590 --> 00:47:28.833
They're really going to go in for a win Like they're going to play their best football and they're going to try to win this game.

00:47:28.833 --> 00:47:32.813
But also, I picked against the Panthers last week and they finally won.

00:47:33.112 --> 00:47:47.369
So I kind of like, I kind of like this trend you know, maybe, okay, maybe, if I keep picking against the panthers, the panthers will keep winning okay, okay, so you're trying to have, so you're, you're, you're saying that, you're, you're not fooling anybody, so you're, you're trying to have a win-win.

00:47:47.369 --> 00:47:50.356
Okay, so you can go there, root there, root for the Panthers.

00:47:50.356 --> 00:47:52.159
If they win, hey, my team won.

00:47:52.159 --> 00:47:55.614
But if the Bengals win, it's like ah see, I told you I picked it.

00:47:55.704 --> 00:47:56.764
So that's what you're trying to do.

00:47:56.764 --> 00:48:00.114
That's pretty much what I'm trying to do yeah, hey, man.

00:48:02.244 --> 00:48:06.070
I'm riding the momentum and I'm already going to pick the Panthers.

00:48:06.070 --> 00:48:08.094
Listen the way.

00:48:08.094 --> 00:48:15.552
I have not seen our offense perform like that in years, and that is without now.

00:48:15.552 --> 00:48:20.289
The concern is we lost Adam Thielen, but I believe that Deontay Johnson.

00:48:20.289 --> 00:48:26.054
He had some issues with injuries this week but he seems like he'll be healthy for Sunday.

00:48:26.054 --> 00:48:36.635
With Chuba Hubbard they have one of their like two of their starting D-linemen out, so if we just run the ball and let Andy cook, I believe we can win this game.

00:48:36.635 --> 00:48:41.449
This is the first time in a minute I've had real hope as a Panthers fan.

00:48:41.630 --> 00:48:49.909
I think this could be a Xavier Leguette game, with him being number two, him being younger, not really having to worry about that injuries and stuff.

00:48:49.909 --> 00:48:52.070
I think he's going to step up to the occasion.

00:48:52.070 --> 00:48:54.548
Okay, possibly get the Panthers to win.

00:48:54.789 --> 00:49:03.157
Hmm, all right, yeah, whatever, whatever you got hey, I've got like a 4X Cincinnati Bengals hoodie back there.

00:49:03.157 --> 00:49:06.405
You can rock that, so we actually have some Bengal gear you going to wear that.

00:49:06.405 --> 00:49:11.070
And then we'll all be the four of us will have our panther stuff on so we, we can do that.

00:49:14.094 --> 00:49:16.577
Well, hey, before we get, we, we can't leave.

00:49:16.577 --> 00:49:26.836
We can't leave this game, okay, until we talk about uh, fully go into a little more, uh, the red rifle and what he did last week.

00:49:26.836 --> 00:49:31.275
So, again, like I said, uh, I believe temper still owns the team.

00:49:31.275 --> 00:49:33.389
I believe they still got the same.

00:49:33.389 --> 00:49:41.177
I think everything's the same, diego man, what is is is Dalton.

00:49:41.177 --> 00:49:42.007
Is Dalton the guy?

00:49:42.007 --> 00:49:42.630
The rest of the year?

00:49:43.425 --> 00:49:49.195
So yeah, just like Chris said, I hadn't seen the offense perform like that in probably about six years.

00:49:49.195 --> 00:49:55.992
So that's kind of sad 2018 season before Cam got hurt.

00:49:55.992 --> 00:49:58.251
Hadn't seen him from Noel since then.

00:49:58.251 --> 00:50:06.947
So I think Andy Dalton is actually our franchise quarterback he could be our quarterback for the next five years actually and Bryce.

00:50:06.947 --> 00:50:14.735
I think Bryce can play a backup for about a few years and then maybe, if Andy keeps playing well, then we can trade Bryce.

00:50:14.735 --> 00:50:17.914
But I think Andy Dalton is the guy until he's not.

00:50:19.284 --> 00:50:20.831
Don't you have a Bryce jersey in the?

00:50:20.831 --> 00:50:23.652
Are you wearing your Bryce jersey to the game tomorrow?

00:50:23.893 --> 00:50:26.639
Oh, no, no, I'm going to get you out for that.

00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:29.764
You go I can't handle my Bryce shots.

00:50:29.764 --> 00:50:30.327
I can't.

00:50:30.327 --> 00:50:31.713
I'm going to wear my cam again.

00:50:34.288 --> 00:50:37.612
Diego will turn on a Panther quarterback in a second.

00:50:38.746 --> 00:50:43.692
I don't believe that Bryce can be a good player, but it just depends on like it depends.

00:50:44.851 --> 00:50:46.748
I don't know if he'll get another shot again.

00:50:46.768 --> 00:50:47.371
That's the thing.

00:50:47.925 --> 00:50:50.835
He loves the Panthers, but when it comes to quarterback man.

00:50:52.088 --> 00:50:53.474
I still believe in Bryce.

00:50:53.474 --> 00:50:56.896
I think, I'm not answering that question.

00:50:58.385 --> 00:51:05.893
You're not going to answer Summer's question For those listening, because we're on all podcast networks so you can hear us on all podcast networks.

00:51:05.893 --> 00:51:12.429
Summer just asked are you willing to admit that CJ Stroud is better than Thank you willing to admit that CJ Stroud is better?

00:51:12.429 --> 00:51:13.871
Yeah, thank you for bringing that back up, summer.

00:51:13.871 --> 00:51:16.456
Will you admit that CJ Stroud is better now?

00:51:16.635 --> 00:51:18.860
Bryce Young beat CJ Stroud head-to-head.

00:51:18.860 --> 00:51:21.668
That's all I'm going to say.

00:51:21.668 --> 00:51:23.072
No one can take that away from him.

00:51:23.072 --> 00:51:23.875
That's a mess.

00:51:27.525 --> 00:51:28.706
Chris, what's your take on that?

00:51:28.706 --> 00:51:30.507
Cj won a playoff game versus the Browns?

00:51:30.547 --> 00:51:45.880
And the Panthers made the playoffs as much as I listen, as much as I'm a supporter of Bryce right, the confidence that Andy seemed to bring and I saw one of the funniest things on Twitter is like Andy's really not afraid of these new defenses.

00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:54.114
He played the AFC North for like 10 years, so it's like he knows how to operate an offense.

00:51:54.114 --> 00:52:03.592
And also, dave Canales didn't draft him, so at this point Dave's also coaching for his job as well, because you know how quick-tempered we need to fire people.

00:52:03.592 --> 00:52:17.858
So it's you know it's tough for Bryce and I feel bad for him personally, because you see how the team reacted and how, how you see the locker room videos and how alive and how the whole thing was.

00:52:17.878 --> 00:52:18.179
Yeah.

00:52:18.260 --> 00:52:19.485
Like dang like oh.

00:52:19.485 --> 00:52:22.768
I know we're like that for me, so I feel bad for him.

00:52:22.768 --> 00:52:23.652
I'm sorry, bro.

00:52:23.652 --> 00:52:24.748
We got to win some games.

00:52:24.887 --> 00:52:25.769
Let's do it yeah.

00:52:25.829 --> 00:52:26.552
Last time.

00:52:31.164 --> 00:52:33.755
I think Bryce can be a good quarterback, but the thing is I don't know if he's ever going to get the chance.

00:52:34.257 --> 00:52:35.121
So that's just the thing.

00:52:35.121 --> 00:52:51.836
I've got a spot for him, actually, because there is a team where I think he would be a perfect fit, because it reminds me of the Caleb Williams Jaden Daniels situation how the offense and what they're setting up in Washington fits Jaden.

00:52:51.836 --> 00:52:54.670
What they've got in Chicago is a little shaky right now.

00:52:54.670 --> 00:52:55.992
They've got to make some adjustments.

00:52:55.992 --> 00:52:59.929
Bryce would thrive in Miami.

00:52:59.929 --> 00:53:08.146
That's the perfect offense for him With Coach McDaniels with it being wide open.

00:53:08.146 --> 00:53:13.498
He can be in the shotgun, he can scramble a little bit, he can throw those little short passes to Tyreek.

00:53:13.498 --> 00:53:14.731
Let him take it to the house.

00:53:14.731 --> 00:53:16.831
I think that's the perfect place for him.

00:53:16.831 --> 00:53:18.170
We know Tua's not coming back.

00:53:18.170 --> 00:53:24.077
They're going to need a franchise quarterback, sondra Young.

00:53:24.077 --> 00:53:28.474
So I think that's the perfect spot.

00:53:28.474 --> 00:53:30.867
Now I don't know how you'd work the cap in all this.

00:53:30.867 --> 00:53:32.009
I'm not a capologist.

00:53:32.009 --> 00:53:34.150
But hey, give me Waddle.

00:53:34.150 --> 00:53:35.672
You know what I mean.

00:53:35.672 --> 00:53:42.460
Bring Waddle or somebody like that over to Carolina and just cut bait and let Bryce go.

00:53:44.244 --> 00:53:46.766
And hey, yeah, I would have just said maybe a first-round pick.

00:53:46.786 --> 00:53:48.789
Yeah, yeah, nah, nah, nah.

00:53:48.789 --> 00:53:51.692
You got to give me Waddle, give me Waddle.

00:53:51.692 --> 00:54:02.981
Now you got to work the numbers because, I think Waddle signed a decent deal, so I don't know how you'd make the numbers work, but those is, those being the main core pieces.

00:54:02.981 --> 00:54:05.679
I think that would be a win-win for both teams.

00:54:06.851 --> 00:54:14.755
As much as I love Bryce, that's a lot to give up because he, even when Tyreek doesn't show up, waddle's still going to do his thing.

00:54:14.755 --> 00:54:18.862
So, as much as I love Bryce, that might be too much for Bryce right now.

00:54:18.862 --> 00:54:20.925
All right, I don't know.

00:54:20.925 --> 00:54:24.661
I would like him in Miami, though, but I wouldn't want that for the Dolphins.

00:54:24.661 --> 00:54:26.014
Man Waddle's been balling for that.

00:54:26.014 --> 00:54:28.121
30 minutes All right, all right.

00:54:29.170 --> 00:54:30.731
So hey, that's the game.

00:54:30.731 --> 00:54:31.592
Can't wait for that.

00:54:31.592 --> 00:54:32.213
We'll be there.

00:54:32.213 --> 00:54:34.074
We'll be giving you coverage live on that one.

00:54:34.074 --> 00:54:35.255
So we're excited about that.

00:54:35.255 --> 00:54:37.117
All right, let's get into Diego.

00:54:37.117 --> 00:54:38.699
You've got a lot to do here.

00:54:38.699 --> 00:54:42.342
We've got five more Island games and then we've got to talk some hoops.

00:54:42.342 --> 00:54:44.583
So Brandon is way past the end of that.

00:54:44.583 --> 00:54:47.567
All right, so let's get to Rams at Bears.

00:54:48.909 --> 00:54:51.298
So, rams and Bears, I am picking the Bears in this game.

00:54:51.298 --> 00:54:59.634
The Bears this game, uh, the bears are at home.

00:54:59.634 --> 00:55:15.635
Caleb, uh, the rams, they have a lot of injuries, they puka, puka, nakua and cooper cup are still out, stafford's a little bit banged up, and I think the bears, if their defense keeps playing well, and caleb has three weeks of experience now, if he's able to, you know, pull some things together and get and play, play it, play a good game, then the bears definitely got this game.

00:55:17.458 --> 00:55:18.998
Okay, all right.

00:55:18.998 --> 00:55:21.882
Uh, yeah, man, I'm going Rams on this one.

00:55:21.882 --> 00:55:26.126
I just, I just can't pick the bears anymore right now.

00:55:26.126 --> 00:55:32.175
So I need to see them win a game before I pick them.

00:55:32.175 --> 00:55:35.422
And the way the Rams shocked the Niners man, yeah, I just can't, I can't pay.

00:55:35.422 --> 00:55:36.755
Hey, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

00:55:36.755 --> 00:55:41.621
But I'd rather be wrong picking the Rams than the Bears on this one.

00:55:41.621 --> 00:55:42.976
So I got to go Rams.

00:55:42.976 --> 00:55:47.059
We see Brandon say Rams, who you got with this one.

00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:48.429
Chris, I got the Rams All right.

00:55:48.429 --> 00:55:52.592
Sean McVay, somehow, someway, he going to pull it out.

00:55:52.592 --> 00:55:55.034
I just you know I got no games in this one.

00:55:55.295 --> 00:55:57.257
Yeah, yeah, we all got this.

00:55:57.257 --> 00:55:58.699
Diego, you on the island man.

00:55:59.338 --> 00:56:01.440
All right, I'll take it All right.

00:56:01.481 --> 00:56:01.860
Next one.

00:56:02.302 --> 00:56:03.001
This next one.

00:56:03.001 --> 00:56:04.242
Steelers at Colts.

00:56:04.242 --> 00:56:07.646
I'm going with the Colts in this one.

00:56:07.646 --> 00:56:13.387
You are tripping.

00:56:13.387 --> 00:56:18.893
Yeah, I kind of think I should have picked the Steelers, I picked the Colts, okay so.

00:56:18.893 --> 00:56:22.398
I'm going to stick with the Colts, but yeah.

00:56:22.498 --> 00:56:23.298
I'm picking the Colts.

00:56:23.298 --> 00:56:26.481
Yeah, man, you are just giving this all back.

00:56:26.481 --> 00:56:27.302
You're giving all that.

00:56:27.302 --> 00:56:30.226
You have a two-game overall lead on the NBA.

00:56:30.226 --> 00:56:31.306
You're going to give all this back.

00:56:31.869 --> 00:56:32.371
Thank you, man.

00:56:32.371 --> 00:56:39.907
You know, maybe Anthony, richardson and taylor can play good and you got home field advantage, so I got a few things in their favor okay, all right.

00:56:39.947 --> 00:56:42.534
All right, we're gonna see here steelers.

00:56:42.534 --> 00:56:47.670
Uh, brandon's got the steelers with us, all right, cool, yeah, let's go to the end.

00:56:47.670 --> 00:56:50.157
Chris, you said steelers, right, yeah, steelers.

00:56:50.157 --> 00:56:51.239
Okay, all right.

00:56:51.239 --> 00:56:54.815
Yeah, I'm gonna dive deep in now this is a nice island game.

00:56:55.034 --> 00:56:57.000
I I'm very confident in this island game.

00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:58.163
Eagles at Bucks.

00:56:58.163 --> 00:56:59.396
I'm going with the Eagles.

00:56:59.396 --> 00:57:04.197
Eagles came off a great road win last week against who they play?

00:57:04.197 --> 00:57:04.739
Against?

00:57:04.739 --> 00:57:08.952
The Saints, yeah, now playing the Bucks.

00:57:08.952 --> 00:57:12.963
This is a revenge game from the wild card game last year.

00:57:12.963 --> 00:57:22.132
So I think the Eagles they're coming back better and they're coming back to avenge that loss last year in the playoffs.

00:57:22.152 --> 00:57:24.172
They are the favorite with this one as well.

00:57:24.172 --> 00:57:26.514
So, oh, nice question.

00:57:26.514 --> 00:57:28.155
We're going to get to that question in a second.

00:57:28.155 --> 00:57:34.699
So with the Eagles, eagles and Bucs Brandon's got Eagles.

00:57:34.699 --> 00:57:37.942
I'm going Bucs in this one.

00:57:37.942 --> 00:57:38.682
The Bucs are weird.

00:57:38.682 --> 00:57:40.543
They've been up and down and I've seen them.

00:57:40.543 --> 00:57:43.186
I mean, heck, they freaking beat the Lions, you know.

00:57:43.186 --> 00:57:46.507
So they've been up, lost to the Broncos, yeah, but then lost to them.

00:57:46.507 --> 00:57:49.737
So it's like what in the world?

00:57:49.737 --> 00:57:58.855
So I think they're definitely going to put their best game together with this one and I feel that if they're able to do that, which they will they'll pull this out.

00:57:58.855 --> 00:58:05.018
I think they know the Eagles, they're a familiar foe and they're at home and they'll be able to pull this one out.

00:58:05.018 --> 00:58:06.021
I think they win this one.

00:58:06.021 --> 00:58:07.876
They win this one by three.

00:58:07.876 --> 00:58:11.974
So, yeah, they're going to win this one.

00:58:11.974 --> 00:58:12.614
What do you think, chris?

00:58:13.195 --> 00:58:18.340
I think the Eagles are probably going to be one-dimensional because they're without AJ Brown and Devontae Smith.

00:58:18.340 --> 00:58:20.583
So it's going to be a heavy Saquon game.

00:58:20.583 --> 00:58:23.266
And you know Dallas Goddard making plays here and there.

00:58:23.266 --> 00:58:28.250
I don't know if that's enough to beat the Bucs right now with the way they can lock in on defense.

00:58:28.250 --> 00:58:30.978
So I got the Bucs in this one, yeah.

00:58:39.750 --> 00:58:40.672
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:40.672 --> 00:58:41.873
It's going to be going to be good, Going to be good.

00:58:41.873 --> 00:58:43.456
I tell you, what Summer can you bring that question?

00:58:43.456 --> 00:58:44.197
Kind of read that one.

00:58:44.197 --> 00:58:48.664
So is Nico Collins too hurt to get over 80 yards receiving 42 percent target share versus man coverage?

00:58:48.664 --> 00:58:51.952
Is he hurt?

00:58:51.952 --> 00:58:53.416
How banged up is Nico?

00:58:53.876 --> 00:58:56.630
I haven't heard of him being is he?

00:58:56.630 --> 00:58:57.070
How banged up is nico?

00:58:57.070 --> 00:58:57.853
I haven't really heard anything.

00:58:57.853 --> 00:59:00.199
I haven't heard of him being, I think he I mean, I haven't heard anything crazy about nico.

00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:03.914
So I think as long as he's playing and he's not severely hurt, then I think he can.

00:59:03.914 --> 00:59:07.902
He can get over 80, he can get over 80 and get that yeah, I mean the.

00:59:08.050 --> 00:59:11.818
The biggest, the bigger question with him is just the receivers.

00:59:11.818 --> 00:59:16.476
You know the fact they have digs that he's got to spread that ball, he's got to get digs his touches, so that's.

00:59:16.476 --> 00:59:18.601
That's just going to naturally take away from nico.

00:59:18.601 --> 00:59:31.219
That's why I stayed with fantasy, I stayed away from all houston receivers except digs, because I know dig, we know digs is going to complain and get his touches, so we're not worried about that.

00:59:31.219 --> 00:59:35.960
The other guys, I don't know if they're quite seasoned to demand the ball like that.

00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:42.144
So yes, and then if he's hurt too, yeah, I'd be a little leery on that.

00:59:42.144 --> 00:59:44.150
Yeah, yeah, but thank you, thank you, matthew.

00:59:44.150 --> 00:59:45.635
Thank you for the question on that.

00:59:46.277 --> 00:59:49.418
All right, you got two more out of the game.

00:59:49.418 --> 00:59:53.775
Browns at Raiders I'm going with the Browns in this one.

00:59:53.775 --> 00:59:57.807
Browns at Raiders I'm going with the Browns in this one.

00:59:57.847 --> 00:59:58.469
Browns at Raiders.

00:59:58.469 --> 00:59:59.193
Yeah, I'm going with the.

00:59:59.213 --> 00:59:59.454
Browns.

00:59:59.454 --> 01:00:02.298
Both these teams aren't really that great, so it was really just like.

01:00:02.298 --> 01:00:03.755
I was kind of just picking.

01:00:03.755 --> 01:00:12.878
And the Browns really need a win because they're in tough division and they haven't been doing so great, so I think they'll bounce back.

01:00:13.431 --> 01:00:14.211
They are the favorite.

01:00:14.211 --> 01:00:15.454
They are the favorite.

01:00:15.454 --> 01:00:16.295
Oh, you're welcome, matthew.

01:00:16.295 --> 01:00:20.663
They are the favorite by two and a half, which I guess I mean.

01:00:20.663 --> 01:00:21.864
Hey, maybe that's the bias.

01:00:21.864 --> 01:00:36.617
I guess people figure, man, the Raiders lost to the Panthers in convincing fashion, so now all of a sudden the Raiders are awful, but again the Raiders did go into Baltimore and beat the Ravens, so this one's tough.

01:00:36.617 --> 01:00:38.335
Again I've got to go.

01:00:38.396 --> 01:00:45.858
Raiders I think you know they're at home which they were against the Panthers, but they're going to be extremely motivated.

01:00:45.858 --> 01:00:50.757
You can argue that they took the Panthers lightly, thought they were going to just come in and win that game.

01:00:50.757 --> 01:01:00.177
And I know the coach was very upset, called a lot of his players out, said that the players were making business decisions and that now they're going to make business decisions as a coaching staff.

01:01:00.177 --> 01:01:08.344
So he put that whole team on notice that they better come out and perform or there's going to be some changes made.

01:01:08.344 --> 01:01:21.643
So I think they're coming out playing for their jobs and that alone, combined with Deshaun Watson playing awful, I think the raiders uh, definitely get this one.

01:01:21.663 --> 01:01:22.164
What do you think, chris?

01:01:22.164 --> 01:01:24.512
Yeah, I got the raiders in a low scoring one um first off.

01:01:24.512 --> 01:01:27.721
They're without their two starting tackles, so max crosby's gonna please.

01:01:27.721 --> 01:01:29.351
I like what he did against us.

01:01:29.351 --> 01:01:32.195
So you know, max, you're due for a good game.

01:01:32.195 --> 01:01:38.965
After you know, you had basically a pass deflection against us, so I got the raiders in this one good point.

01:01:39.527 --> 01:01:46.184
Good point there's something about our o-line containing man there's actually, so I don't have the stat on this.

01:01:46.184 --> 01:01:50.273
So this also is an interesting fun fact and I'll have to get the exact stat.

01:01:50.273 --> 01:01:59.929
But I was listening to nbc and man the Sims son, I can't think of his first name Chris Sims.

01:01:59.929 --> 01:02:02.036
Yeah him, Chris Sims.

01:02:02.036 --> 01:02:10.628
He said I don't know what the stat is, but he said statistically, the Panthers offensive line is playing the best in the NFL right now.

01:02:10.628 --> 01:02:14.500
Yeah, and so there's got to be some stat.

01:02:14.550 --> 01:02:27.034
There's some stat that proves that o-line is better, but I'll tell you that right now we are, we do not have the best o-line okay I mean we are better.

01:02:27.054 --> 01:02:33.596
I'm saying our line's awful, but we stopped the top five pass rusher, I got a little bit more belief in them than I had last year.

01:02:33.596 --> 01:02:41.117
Right, yeah, true, true, we pitched a shutout versus the Max Crosby, I think there's better proof.

01:02:41.597 --> 01:02:42.260
That's a great point.

01:02:42.389 --> 01:02:44.936
It might be because Andy was getting the ball out faster.

01:02:45.036 --> 01:02:46.681
That might be it, could be, could be.

01:02:46.681 --> 01:02:59.166
And also, we were talking again, that was part of the argument in the offseason when we were saying that the Panthers were going to come in and be better, the fact that they made some, that they improved the offensive line, so they should be better.

01:02:59.166 --> 01:03:01.657
Yeah, you know so, we'll see.

01:03:01.657 --> 01:03:03.536
But yeah, I have to get the exact stat on that.

01:03:03.536 --> 01:03:05.135
All right, we got one more.

01:03:05.135 --> 01:03:08.360
We got one more island game here, diego.

01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:15.240
And then, oh, hold on, we got a question Under 37, browns Raiders.

01:03:23.929 --> 01:03:35.324
Under I uh, oh uh, under 37 browns raiders under I think so under browns raiders versus deshaun watson, versus I mean that's, it's no it's yeah, it's gonna be low, yeah, that's I could see a combined like 20 points maybe.

01:03:35.324 --> 01:03:37.525
That's what I was thinking too, Diego.

01:03:38.431 --> 01:03:40.215
Yeah, smart money is you know.

01:03:40.215 --> 01:03:41.559
Oh, man, I got to.

01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:45.338
You know what, Matthew, I would actually take the over.

01:03:45.338 --> 01:03:47.396
Now, that's probably not smart money.

01:03:47.396 --> 01:03:51.300
That's just me Again, we don't, you know, we're not, we're not, you know.

01:03:51.300 --> 01:03:52.576
Come back to us on that one.

01:03:52.576 --> 01:03:59.963
But yeah, I think the, if you look at the stats, the under is probably the smart way to go.

01:03:59.963 --> 01:04:06.242
But me personally, if I'm putting something on that, I personally would take that, would take the over.

01:04:06.242 --> 01:04:08.454
Plus it'd probably be a higher payout too.

01:04:08.454 --> 01:04:12.922
So that's just how I, you know, if I do place a wager, that's how I do it.

01:04:12.922 --> 01:04:17.077
All right, let's get to the Bills Raven Raven.

01:04:17.077 --> 01:04:18.882
So we know, Brandon's got the Ravens.

01:04:18.882 --> 01:04:21.378
Diego, you are on the Island for this one.

01:04:21.378 --> 01:04:25.449
Baltimore is a two and a half point favorite at home Sunday night.

01:04:25.449 --> 01:04:31.978
We should be home in time to see this one, or at least see the majority of this game, when we get back from Charlotte man.

01:04:32.659 --> 01:04:39.213
I'm going, I'm going with the Ravens in this one.

01:04:39.213 --> 01:04:40.257
They're, they're at home sunday night.

01:04:40.257 --> 01:04:41.018
They need a big win.

01:04:41.018 --> 01:04:41.581
Um, they didn't.

01:04:41.581 --> 01:04:42.724
I mean they beat.

01:04:42.724 --> 01:04:44.208
Beat the cowboys last week.

01:04:44.208 --> 01:04:45.190
That's a solid win.

01:04:45.190 --> 01:04:58.436
They had the cheat, they had chiefs, but of course you know, you know who was in their favor in that game, but um see I think the they're going to play their best football Sunday night at home and get a win.

01:04:59.018 --> 01:05:00.362
Okay, all right, all right.

01:05:00.362 --> 01:05:05.161
Well, you know, man, I've been on fire with these takes.

01:05:05.161 --> 01:05:10.396
You know, I told you guys last week I had a lot of memorable moments.

01:05:10.396 --> 01:05:16.079
Last week, you know, I told you guys that Bryce was the problem.

01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:17.322
That's right about that.

01:05:17.322 --> 01:05:26.878
And I also said that the Buffalo Bills the best team in the AFC yes, buffalo Bills, best team in the AFC.

01:05:26.878 --> 01:05:33.735
And then they proceed to come out and although it was the Jacksonville Jaguars, man, they look like world.

01:05:33.735 --> 01:05:34.677
Did y'all see that game?

01:05:34.677 --> 01:05:38.780
Did y'all see the fire in Josh Allen's eyes in that game?

01:05:38.780 --> 01:05:47.782
And the way he spread that ball out Didn't have anybody complaining, was just hitting Shakir, who I told y'all to pick on fantasy, which I picked up.

01:05:47.782 --> 01:05:50.597
I mean, man, it was just beautiful to watch.

01:05:50.597 --> 01:05:58.041
They're explosive and balanced, like I told you they'd be, and they're going to go into Baltimore and they're going to spread the ball around.

01:06:00.710 --> 01:06:07.099
They can spread the ball all they want, but the Ravens have Derrick Henry Lamar and their offense is just scary.

01:06:08.413 --> 01:06:09.157
What do you think, Chris?

01:06:09.650 --> 01:06:12.239
The only way the Ravens can win this game is by playing.

01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:23.228
Keep away with the Bills' offense, because for me there's no way that you can stop josh allen at this point, like he's playing, like otherworldly they're.

01:06:23.228 --> 01:06:24.672
They're able to run the ball.

01:06:24.672 --> 01:06:32.275
And baltimore's defense concerns me because I didn't think the loss of mike mcdonald would be hitting them this bad.

01:06:32.275 --> 01:06:43.639
But you see the points that they've given up in the whole comeback, with the Raiders, all the yards they let up against the Chiefs, dallas being able to almost win the game.

01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:50.657
Their defense really, really concerns me and their offense has a tendency to not let up off the gas.

01:06:50.657 --> 01:06:56.677
I'm actually changing my pick because I thought the Ravens would have a tough one.

01:06:56.677 --> 01:06:58.389
I might have the Bills in this one.

01:06:59.981 --> 01:07:14.759
All right, yeah, so me and Chris have the Bills, diego, dez, and no, dez also has the, I think, bills and me you have the Ravens, but Brandon has the Ravens and we're going to bring Brandon on here in a second.

01:07:14.759 --> 01:07:19.583
So, yeah, man, now, uh, the Ravens that we're going to bring, uh, we're going to bring Brandon on here in a second.

01:07:19.583 --> 01:07:22.110
So, uh, yeah, man now, hey, it is at night and, um, I believe the Ravens are wearing black.

01:07:22.110 --> 01:07:32.619
You said right, so yeah, that that's going to be a scary sight, man, seeing Derek Henry back there at night and in Baltimore wearing all black, and I don't, I don't think anybody's going to want to go and want to try to tackle him.

01:07:32.619 --> 01:07:40.434
Man, we're going to see how that works out, but the Bills' defense man, the defense is playing great as well, so that's going to be fun.

01:07:40.434 --> 01:07:43.077
I can't wait to get back and see that one.

01:07:43.077 --> 01:07:47.400
All right, well, hey, keep the comments coming, keep the questions coming.

01:07:47.590 --> 01:07:48.534
We've got a little more time.

01:07:48.534 --> 01:07:50.393
Rome is actually held up, so we're okay.

01:07:50.393 --> 01:07:51.054
So, we got a little bit.

01:07:51.054 --> 01:07:51.677
We got a little bit.

01:07:51.677 --> 01:07:57.903
We got a little more time here, but I know we got an early start, so we're going to leave here we're actually going to train.

01:07:57.903 --> 01:08:01.030
So Diego's got to train with Rome, so he's going to run routes.

01:08:01.030 --> 01:08:02.952
But man aren't a lot of your classmates, don't?

01:08:02.952 --> 01:08:05.641
They have the homecoming going on.

01:08:05.762 --> 01:08:06.570
No, I'm training.

01:08:06.690 --> 01:08:09.471
Man Diego is training, putting in the work.

01:08:09.471 --> 01:08:12.614
Oh man, all right, we're going to get some clips from that.

01:08:12.614 --> 01:08:14.257
We're going to show you guys what's going on here.

01:08:14.257 --> 01:08:20.844
Okay, so let's go to basketball and let's bring our guy Brandon in to join us.

01:08:20.844 --> 01:08:27.895
All right, what's up, brandon?

01:08:27.895 --> 01:08:30.979
Oh, hold on, let me unmute you.

01:08:31.060 --> 01:08:32.280
Okay, there we go.

01:08:32.280 --> 01:08:33.283
All right, what's up?

01:08:33.302 --> 01:08:33.722
Brandon.

01:08:34.583 --> 01:08:36.166
Hey, how's it going.

01:08:39.171 --> 01:08:40.884
Good, good man, good, good to see you man.

01:08:40.884 --> 01:09:00.020
So, wow, you know, I think Silas, who is a big, big supporter of us, messaged me yesterday and was the one to break the news of the big trade of the Knicks sending or the gosh the Wolves sending Carl Anthony Towns of the Knicks sending, or the gosh the Wolves sending Carl Anthony Towns to the Knicks.

01:09:00.020 --> 01:09:06.261
And we know there's more people involved of Devin Chinzo and Julius Randle of the Knicks are the two main players.

01:09:06.261 --> 01:09:10.539
There might be some other folks involved, but those are the main pieces of this trade.

01:09:10.539 --> 01:09:15.417
So, man, let's start with you, since you're the special guest here.

01:09:15.417 --> 01:09:16.331
Then we'll go around and get everybody's take.

01:09:16.331 --> 01:09:16.962
But, brandon man, let's start with you, since you're the special guest here.

01:09:16.962 --> 01:09:17.164
Then we'll go around and get everybody's take.

01:09:17.164 --> 01:09:19.738
But, brandon man, what's your take on that trade?

01:09:21.770 --> 01:09:22.131
It was.

01:09:22.131 --> 01:09:29.778
Initially I was shocked about it and then you look at the details, they said it was like a money thing.

01:09:29.778 --> 01:09:31.394
They didn't want to.

01:09:31.394 --> 01:09:41.113
I think Carl and Thin Tails had like a big contract coming up so they were like, okay, well, we got.

01:09:41.113 --> 01:09:44.222
And man, over here, we got, gobert over here we got.

01:09:44.222 --> 01:09:50.117
You know, carl and thing towns big contract coming up and then naz reed had just got paid.

01:09:50.117 --> 01:09:53.992
So they were trying to figure out, okay, who should we keep and stuff.

01:09:53.992 --> 01:09:59.372
So I think, hey, let's just get real Carthay Towns, get some players back.

01:10:00.114 --> 01:10:04.115
I guess with Randall now they felt like it was a cheaper contract.

01:10:04.115 --> 01:10:12.436
And then they also brought a first-round pick, like a 2025 first-round pick via Detroit.

01:10:12.436 --> 01:10:17.796
So it's a top 13 protected pick.

01:10:17.796 --> 01:10:33.960
Maybe they trying to I think they're going to monitor the pistons few years, see like if it goes up, it goes down, you know, and maybe use it as like a trade piece later on for like years to come.

01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:40.041
So I think it's, but I think overall it was a good trade for both.

01:10:40.041 --> 01:10:47.457
I think with the Knicks it was they was looking at the fact that Mitchell Robinson was hurt, so they needed like a center.

01:10:47.457 --> 01:10:52.712
So they went and got currently, which is why they pulled a trigger when it got currently towns.

01:10:52.993 --> 01:10:53.314
Yeah.

01:10:53.333 --> 01:11:23.279
Cause they looking at like, hey, we're trying to win, like we're looking at Philly, we looking at Boston in the east, in Milwaukee, so we need to compete still, and like for Minnesota, it's like, okay, we can still compete in the west, but we, looking at it from a future standpoint because of the, obviously, the CBA and stuff too, like you got to look at, like they got better because you bring in a shooter and d vincenzo and you added scoring punch coming off the bench, which they needed.

01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:43.162
So I think, like if at the end of the day, I think it worked out for both teams because both are contenders and I think it helps menso out a little bit more in the future, because they're looking at the, I think the championship window, they try to extend it a little bit, as opposed to like, oh, just keep it a year or two or whatever.

01:11:45.471 --> 01:11:47.555
Yeah, yeah, no, that's, that's an interesting take.

01:11:47.555 --> 01:11:50.078
So I didn't think of the financial side of it.

01:11:50.078 --> 01:11:52.954
But yeah, I mean, you can't have so many.

01:11:52.954 --> 01:12:06.024
You know max people and we know what Anthony Edwards is and you know what he's going to command and all of that, and so it kind of reminds me of OKC, when they had to let Harden go in order to try to keep things running.

01:12:06.024 --> 01:12:08.057
But what's your take on it, diego?

01:12:09.091 --> 01:12:12.400
Yeah, I actually like to trade a little bit for both sides.

01:12:12.400 --> 01:12:17.095
I like calling Townsend Knicks a little bit for both sides.

01:12:17.095 --> 01:12:18.997
I like Carl and Hurtado to the Knicks.

01:12:18.997 --> 01:12:24.586
I think he brings a good side to the Knicks, can help them maybe win some games, maybe get to the finals, conference finals, I don't know.

01:12:24.586 --> 01:12:29.336
I think he can help them do some big things.

01:12:29.336 --> 01:12:42.864
And then for the Timberwolves I kind of like getting rid of Carl and Hurtado, because later in the season towards the conference finals, you saw him just shooting more threes and then he just wasn't as high as he was earlier in the playoffs.

01:12:42.864 --> 01:12:50.750
I think Devin Chenzo you know that he's going to be clutch and make some big-time shots.

01:12:50.750 --> 01:12:53.655
Even Julius Randle can be.

01:12:53.655 --> 01:12:56.582
If he's healthy he can be a solid piece.

01:12:56.582 --> 01:13:07.502
I just hope that the Timberwolves start Nas Reed over Julius Randle because I just think Nas Reed and Gobert is a better fit than Randle and Gobert.

01:13:08.791 --> 01:13:20.984
That'll still give them that size that they had and probably help them to battle against joker, because he's not going anywhere, so they're still gonna have to tend randall's a nice six man.

01:13:21.024 --> 01:13:23.091
You got nikhil alexander walker.

01:13:23.091 --> 01:13:24.314
You got kyle anderson.

01:13:24.314 --> 01:13:42.280
Oh no, kyle anderson's gone, he's in the warriors, but he's still got nikhil alexander walker, randall, uh, so you got some solid pieces, okay all right oh, and you got rob dillingham, my guy, uh, the rookie, and some other and another first round but they also had a really good draft.

01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.376
So you, you like it like for both both sides.

01:13:45.376 --> 01:13:46.298
What about you, chris?

01:13:47.021 --> 01:13:51.574
I actually like it more for the next side, purely because they needed a center.

01:13:51.775 --> 01:14:09.880
Um mitchell robertson's injured concerns are something that uh plagued the next for a minute and outside of hard to sign they really didn't have another big man who was like, like that right cat stretches the floor, you know, I believe that him and jalen brunson who, weirdly enough, jalen brunson goes on the paint and cat likes to shoot threes.

01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:15.945
I know nba in 2024 very crazy, but I believe that they'll fit really well together.

01:14:15.945 --> 01:14:20.056
Everybody's concerned about cat on defense after that.

01:14:20.056 --> 01:14:24.372
Uh, denver series showed me something that if he really puts his mind to it he can really lock in.

01:14:24.372 --> 01:14:28.523
And they still have mikhail and og to help out on that end.

01:14:29.150 --> 01:14:43.599
What concerns me for it's what concerns me for the the Wolves all about, like, who's going to start on the lineup, because Julius Randle can sometimes be really inefficient and he can sometimes shoot himself out of games.

01:14:43.599 --> 01:14:50.157
You have Nas Reed, but then Gobert, like has this great defensive presence, so where is he fit and all that?

01:14:50.157 --> 01:14:52.930
Jaden McDaniels is also a really good wing defender.

01:14:52.930 --> 01:15:01.179
He can't have Ant play point guard because, if you saw it, they were literally forcing him to play the point guard and that didn't necessarily go well.

01:15:01.179 --> 01:15:02.810
So we're still relying on Mike Conley.

01:15:02.810 --> 01:15:12.653
So there's a lot of questions on how fit and lineup works and, as much as DiVincenzo is a great shooter, are we bringing him off the bench because they need the shooting.

01:15:12.653 --> 01:15:19.500
So it's like there's so much to be determined on how they all gel together.

01:15:19.500 --> 01:15:23.623
So I like the Knicks because to me it's a better fit for the player.

01:15:23.623 --> 01:15:26.006
But we'll see, we'll see.

01:15:30.949 --> 01:15:31.652
As far as pure point guard.

01:15:31.671 --> 01:15:35.262
I think that's what they drafted Rob Dillingham for I think they want him to get some point guard reps.

01:15:35.262 --> 01:15:36.104
Yeah, that's true.

01:15:36.646 --> 01:15:37.087
That's true.

01:15:37.087 --> 01:15:37.609
That's true.

01:15:37.609 --> 01:15:40.519
Yeah, they do have that covered there.

01:15:40.519 --> 01:15:47.021
Okay, so with that, let's just go into how far.

01:15:47.021 --> 01:15:54.619
I want to know how far can the Timberwolves, or will the Timberwolves, go and how far the Knicks going to go as a result of this trade.

01:15:54.619 --> 01:15:55.932
So, brandon, start us off.

01:15:55.932 --> 01:15:59.159
How far are the Timberwolves go and how far the Knicks going to go as a result of this trade?

01:15:59.159 --> 01:15:59.860
So, brandon, start us off.

01:15:59.860 --> 01:16:01.985
How far are the Timberwolves going to go?

01:16:01.985 --> 01:16:02.887
This?

01:16:02.927 --> 01:16:03.909
year and how far are the Knicks going to go?

01:16:03.909 --> 01:16:11.994
So for the Knicks, I think it's like it's like well keyword, if healthy.

01:16:11.994 --> 01:16:16.855
Yeah, conference finals is like the.

01:16:16.855 --> 01:16:22.155
I feel like conference finals for both would be like the target.

01:16:22.155 --> 01:16:34.059
I don't really see either of them get to the finals because again, like health, uh, health is involved and we gotta see the other teams get better and stuff like that.

01:16:34.059 --> 01:16:38.385
So really I would say conference finals for both teams.

01:16:38.385 --> 01:16:43.439
I think conference finals is like the ceiling for both teams.

01:16:44.480 --> 01:16:44.600
Okay.

01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:45.802
All right.

01:16:46.363 --> 01:16:48.194
Okay, what do you think, diego?

01:16:49.032 --> 01:16:51.483
I think the Timberwolves are going to win the championship.

01:16:51.483 --> 01:17:01.271
Ooh yeah, and I think the Knicks ceiling is the NBA finals, but I would predict them to go to the conference finals.

01:17:01.271 --> 01:17:06.175
So that's what I would say Knicks conference finals, timberwolves win the championship.

01:17:06.636 --> 01:17:10.234
Okay, all right, what you?

01:17:10.253 --> 01:17:10.636
got Chris.

01:17:10.636 --> 01:17:13.779
The Knicks ceiling actually should be the finals.

01:17:13.779 --> 01:17:19.614
All right, they have the team that can beat the best team in the east or in the south.

01:17:19.614 --> 01:17:25.333
They have the players to help defend jason tatum and jaylen brown, I.

01:17:25.333 --> 01:17:26.957
I believe it's up to them.

01:17:26.957 --> 01:17:32.356
And how hard tibbs runs them during the season, you know because we saw last season.

01:17:32.356 --> 01:17:40.215
The reason why I believe they lost to the Pacers is because they were just running to the ground, because Tibbs was just working them like crazy.

01:17:40.215 --> 01:17:42.501
That's the thing.

01:17:42.501 --> 01:17:48.215
If healthy, I believe that they should be able to make the finals Now win it with.

01:17:48.215 --> 01:17:50.297
How many good teams are in the West?

01:17:50.297 --> 01:17:52.596
That's a big concern.

01:17:52.596 --> 01:17:55.676
The Wolves, however, they're in the West.

01:17:57.701 --> 01:18:04.117
Tell us in the comments I'm sorry, Chris Tell us in the comments how far the Knicks are going to go and how far the Timberwolves are going to go.

01:18:04.117 --> 01:18:05.132
Go ahead, Chris.

01:18:05.635 --> 01:18:19.832
It's hard to call it because, again, my issue with the Wolves is they literally have the thing to solve Jokic right, they have three big men who could rotate and get and guard Jokic pretty well and the person who defended Jokic the best.

01:18:20.073 --> 01:18:21.371
They just shipped off to the Knicks.

01:18:21.371 --> 01:18:23.277
So it's like what are?

01:18:23.277 --> 01:18:27.360
What can you do against the Nuggets?

01:18:27.360 --> 01:18:30.135
There's still other really good teams in the West.

01:18:30.135 --> 01:18:42.597
My sneaky peek is like everybody needs to watch out for what the Grizzlies can do, because they kept elevating over Basically before all of Jaws' mess the past few years.

01:18:42.597 --> 01:18:44.443
They literally were elevating.

01:18:44.443 --> 01:18:58.435
It was like, okay, they made the play and then they made the first round and then they made the conference semifinals and they looked like they could make the conference finals and all of Jaws' mess and all the jaws mess, you know, and all the injuries last year, kind of mess it all up.

01:18:58.435 --> 01:19:03.712
So I would still watch out because the west is loaded.

01:19:03.712 --> 01:19:05.859
I would I don't know where.

01:19:05.859 --> 01:19:06.962
I would say the tournament will fall.

01:19:06.962 --> 01:19:15.399
I would say second round at best and then maybe they can surprise me with carbon spotters run.

01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:18.765
But it's just going to have to have a huge carry job in the playoffs.

01:19:19.751 --> 01:19:21.336
Yeah, yeah.

01:19:21.336 --> 01:19:28.420
As far as the Knicks, again big if on being healthy, clearly.

01:19:28.420 --> 01:19:34.600
So if Thibodeau doesn't run them into the ground okay, thibodeau, you got some more pieces now, we ain't got to run everybody to the ground.

01:19:34.600 --> 01:19:42.274
So if they're healthy, going into the playoffs and stay healthy, I see NBA finals for sure.

01:19:42.274 --> 01:19:48.877
As far as the Timberwolves go, I think conference finals at best.

01:19:48.877 --> 01:19:50.895
Denver's going to be tough.

01:19:50.895 --> 01:19:52.274
Denver's going to be ready.

01:19:52.274 --> 01:19:53.632
Denver's going to want revenge.

01:19:53.632 --> 01:19:55.594
And the fact now that they don't have Cat, it's going to be ready.

01:19:55.594 --> 01:19:56.217
Denver's going to want revenge.

01:19:56.217 --> 01:19:58.229
And the fact now that they don't have Cat, it's going to be that much more of a challenge.

01:19:58.229 --> 01:20:01.055
Dallas isn't going anywhere.

01:20:01.055 --> 01:20:03.320
You know they've added Clay and has done what they're going to do.

01:20:04.329 --> 01:20:14.282
And again, I can't unsee what I saw when Luca went in there and punked Ant-Man and the Timberwolves in their stadium in game six.

01:20:14.282 --> 01:20:16.465
I can't, I can't unsee that.

01:20:16.465 --> 01:20:22.442
So again, it's like it's like I said on the show, uh, back in the summer.

01:20:22.442 --> 01:20:29.400
It's like your dad talking a whole bunch of junk to some people and you know you're a kid and then you see your dad get beat up.

01:20:29.400 --> 01:20:32.515
It's kind of hard to have the same look at him, the same way.

01:20:32.515 --> 01:20:34.500
You know what I mean, mean, I can't.

01:20:34.500 --> 01:20:37.051
I can't unsee what I saw with that.

01:20:37.591 --> 01:20:41.359
So, when it comes to the typicals, I'm sorry, I ant-man.

01:20:41.359 --> 01:20:44.030
And then you know all the stuff about the um.

01:20:44.030 --> 01:20:47.354
You know jordan was the only one that had skill and all that.

01:20:47.354 --> 01:20:48.595
I think they need to be.

01:20:48.595 --> 01:20:50.798
You know I'm salty about that.

01:20:50.798 --> 01:21:03.319
So, no, no, conference finals will be a win for them.

01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:19.599
They can go ahead and restructure their cap and maybe come back, but I think it's either Dallas, okc or Denver One of those three and if OKC can make a move, definitely I would probably lean towards OKC, or Denver, one of those three, and if OKC can make a move, definitely I would probably lean towards OKC.

01:21:19.599 --> 01:21:23.664
So yeah, yeah, man, yeah, sga.

01:21:25.993 --> 01:21:26.496
And better.

01:21:32.515 --> 01:21:33.378
Oh man, Great, great.

01:21:33.378 --> 01:21:34.755
I appreciate you guys' takes.

01:21:34.755 --> 01:21:35.497
I love it, Love it.

01:21:35.497 --> 01:21:39.471
All right, we got one more topic before we jump here Again.

01:21:39.471 --> 01:21:44.435
If you've got any questions, let us know or get any comments on everything that we're talking about.

01:21:44.435 --> 01:21:48.318
We want to hear that.

01:21:48.318 --> 01:21:53.502
So we are down to the final four.

01:21:53.502 --> 01:21:55.563
This starts tomorrow.

01:21:55.563 --> 01:22:02.988
So we've got the Vegas Aces are playing the Connecticut Sun 3 o'clock ABC, 3 o'clock Eastern ABC tomorrow.

01:22:02.988 --> 01:22:10.664
And then you've got the Minnesota Lynx are playing the New York Liberty at 8.30 Eastern.

01:22:10.664 --> 01:22:11.067
Yeah 8.30.

01:22:11.087 --> 01:22:11.569
Eastern?

01:22:11.569 --> 01:22:13.074
Is it flipped the other way?

01:22:13.369 --> 01:22:15.559
Yeah, sun Lynx, and then Aces Liberty.

01:22:18.452 --> 01:22:19.556
Oh, the Aces played the Liberty.

01:22:19.909 --> 01:22:20.994
Yes, which is?

01:22:21.931 --> 01:22:22.895
Oh, I totally had this.

01:22:22.895 --> 01:22:23.877
Okay, my bad.

01:22:23.877 --> 01:22:24.560
Thanks for correcting me.

01:22:24.560 --> 01:22:26.856
So it's Aces Liberty.

01:22:26.856 --> 01:22:27.439
Oh, that's right.

01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:28.574
Yeah, because they're in the same division.

01:22:28.574 --> 01:22:29.037
That's right.

01:22:29.037 --> 01:22:30.833
Okay, so Aces Liberty.

01:22:30.833 --> 01:22:32.579
And then it's Connecticut Sun Lynx.

01:22:32.579 --> 01:22:35.771
Okay, I got that wrong, thank you.

01:22:35.771 --> 01:22:43.417
So with that, I think so, diego, you were Indiana.

01:22:43.417 --> 01:22:46.319
Okay, so they're bounced now.

01:22:46.319 --> 01:22:49.203
But who would you say now off the final?

01:22:49.222 --> 01:22:54.627
four, I'd say the Liberty, because they lost last year.

01:22:55.069 --> 01:22:56.054
Okay, they'll have revenge.

01:22:56.253 --> 01:23:00.695
They got the best only team in the WNBA with under 10 losses.

01:23:00.695 --> 01:23:04.551
I think they're just ready to get that championship.

01:23:04.551 --> 01:23:05.715
They're fiery.

01:23:06.114 --> 01:23:13.342
Okay, all right, hey, brandon, our expert, who you got.

01:23:13.342 --> 01:23:15.077
I think you said did you say Aces?

01:23:15.631 --> 01:23:16.694
I said Aces, yeah.

01:23:17.076 --> 01:23:18.953
Okay, all right, so you're sitting.

01:23:18.953 --> 01:23:19.877
Good, you sticking with that.

01:23:21.210 --> 01:23:47.180
I actually am, because I think in a weird kind of way, even though they are back-to-back champions going for a three-peat, they kind of have turned the, have turned the aces into like the underdogs, where it's like all the pressure if y'all notice, all the pressure now is just on the liberty now to win a championship, considering how well the liberty had played.

01:23:47.180 --> 01:24:03.805
So it's almost like anytime I don't know if anybody knows, but anytime when we've seen teams get up well, new York teams for example anytime when New York teams get all of a sudden all the pressure on them, they end up kind of folding.

01:24:03.805 --> 01:24:23.333
I wouldn't suggest it because I've seen this story played way too many times.

01:24:23.435 --> 01:24:33.006
If you look back at hockey, for example, I heard all season long it was the New York Rangers that were the favorites to win the Stanley Cup Finals and I was like no, let me pick Florida.

01:24:33.006 --> 01:24:36.141
And everyone was like why are you picking Florida?

01:24:36.141 --> 01:24:38.911
I said picking New York just not good to win it.

01:24:38.911 --> 01:24:43.311
New York and picking them to win a championship doesn't go together, unfortunately.

01:24:43.311 --> 01:24:49.110
So I was just like let me just roll with the Aces and I have to.

01:24:49.110 --> 01:24:55.270
I think for me it's like I have to see it to believe it For me to go okay.

01:24:55.270 --> 01:25:00.918
Yeah, it is different if the Aces were to lose, but until then I got to go with the Aces.

01:25:01.650 --> 01:25:04.515
Well, that's an interesting point, Brandon, and we're going to come to you next.

01:25:04.515 --> 01:25:11.882
But that's an interesting point, brandon, as far as the New York teams being the favorite and crumbling.

01:25:11.882 --> 01:25:17.436
So when I think of a lot of their championships, they were the underdog, with a lot of titles that they won.

01:25:17.436 --> 01:25:20.921
I think of the giants with a lot of their titles, they were the underdog.

01:25:20.921 --> 01:25:23.564
You think of the jets, you know, and they won.

01:25:23.564 --> 01:25:24.625
That, you know.

01:25:24.625 --> 01:25:28.818
You think of the Mets, you think of just a lot of the, the New York teams, a lot of their titles.

01:25:28.818 --> 01:25:31.173
They were the underdog.

01:25:31.173 --> 01:25:32.076
Interesting point there.

01:25:32.076 --> 01:25:34.099
But, chris, what's your take on this?

01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:39.993
I believe the Aces and Liberty is going to determine who wins the whole thing, and I got the Aces.

01:25:39.993 --> 01:25:44.092
I believe they've turned the corner and Asia's going to turn up.

01:25:44.092 --> 01:25:50.435
I believe this is her about to be in my bag, so I got the Aces.

01:25:51.217 --> 01:25:54.115
Okay, I got the Aces.

01:25:54.115 --> 01:26:00.713
Well, I picked the Lynx last time when we were just getting started, so I'm a stick with that.

01:26:00.713 --> 01:26:03.613
I've gotten to the semifinals, so we got to.

01:26:03.613 --> 01:26:16.359
I guess they're going against the sun and take care of business there, and then it's going to be a tall task going against either the Aces or the Liberty, but I'm a stick with Minnesota.

01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:18.176
So that's the Minnesota team I'm going to ride with.

01:26:18.176 --> 01:26:24.759
I'm going with the Minnesota Lynx, not the Timberwolves, the Lynx of the team that I'm going to get the title.

01:26:24.878 --> 01:26:31.682
All right, oh well, summer, are we clean on comments?

01:26:31.682 --> 01:26:34.076
Okay, we're clean back there, so we don't have any questions.

01:26:34.076 --> 01:26:38.457
So, brandon, man, pleasure having you on.

01:26:38.457 --> 01:26:39.858
We got to talk.

01:26:39.858 --> 01:26:47.431
We'll definitely have to talk some football with you next go-round too, so we'll have you on real soon and dive back into some football.

01:26:47.431 --> 01:26:51.793
But, man, thanks for all your support, thanks for keeping us updated and for all you do.

01:26:51.793 --> 01:26:54.595
Man, everybody loves it when you're able to join us.

01:26:54.595 --> 01:26:56.579
So we appreciate you, man, appreciate it.

01:26:56.579 --> 01:27:02.780
All right, all right, we'll see you next time, brandon, all right, all right, cool, cool.

01:27:02.820 --> 01:27:03.703
That is Brandon.

01:27:03.703 --> 01:27:04.704
That's our guy man.

01:27:04.704 --> 01:27:09.578
We love having Brandon on, man, my family, the family in Texas.

01:27:09.578 --> 01:27:18.475
They all love when Brandon comes on too, so they all have great things to say when he's on there.

01:27:18.475 --> 01:27:21.246
So, uh, chris, man, we know we're gonna, uh we're gonna be getting up with you early, man, getting this game.

01:27:21.246 --> 01:27:25.555
So we're excited, man, go catch the uh panthers, it's gonna be a lot of fun.

01:27:25.555 --> 01:27:27.719
Um, yeah.

01:27:27.719 --> 01:27:43.859
So hey, uh, I know, man, it's 8 30, so we've gone a little long, but, um, we've got to again touch on your podcast and music and between the generations and whatnot, so I definitely want to be able to touch on that.

01:27:45.171 --> 01:27:50.551
So I would say, mark, wait my five minute spiel With generational debates.

01:27:50.551 --> 01:28:20.101
I want to give y'all like three or four artists to really tap into because I feel like, with music and everything, I feel like so many of the older audiences like where the lyrics, where it's like the people are really spinning and like saying like honestly how they feel, instead of like focusing on flexing and so much as and so much of rap to me has become about the aesthetic and sales, less so about the content and the actual like rapping and getting to the bars.

01:28:20.101 --> 01:28:25.435
So I would say there's three artists I would like you to check out.

01:28:25.435 --> 01:28:30.136
Y'all can find them on Apple, on most streaming platforms.

01:28:30.136 --> 01:28:33.078
So the first one is from New Jersey.

01:28:33.149 --> 01:28:34.310
His name's Chris Patrick.

01:28:34.310 --> 01:28:35.692
He's one of my favorites.

01:28:35.692 --> 01:28:39.836
I've discovered he raps with a passion.

01:28:39.836 --> 01:28:42.899
You can definitely feel it in a bunch of his lyrics.

01:28:42.899 --> 01:28:44.881
He has a bunch of introspective tracks.

01:28:44.881 --> 01:28:50.826
There's some tracks where he does some R&B cuts where you'll see him singing and getting that back too.

01:28:50.826 --> 01:28:52.067
So he's one of my favorites.

01:28:52.067 --> 01:28:56.055
Another one of my favorites is Smin.

01:28:56.055 --> 01:28:57.462
My favorites is smino.

01:28:57.462 --> 01:29:06.350
He's from st louis, he s-m-i-n-o and if you listen to him to me, he gives me the same feel that audrey 3000 gave me when I was younger.

01:29:06.391 --> 01:29:14.412
It's just like the lyricism of the lyricism, the eclectic production, his, if you like, follow him on instagram.

01:29:14.412 --> 01:29:17.782
You'll see like his style and how that like informs his music.

01:29:17.782 --> 01:29:21.572
So he's definitely one of the more special artists I've discovered.

01:29:21.572 --> 01:29:26.451
And finally, this is somebody who went to my school with me, um, when I was at howard university.

01:29:26.451 --> 01:29:38.323
Um, his name is zuri, so it's z-u-r-i, with an exclamation point one of the most talented rappers I've ever met and with him it's bars galore.

01:29:38.323 --> 01:29:40.345
It's it's just.

01:29:40.345 --> 01:29:46.023
He is one of the most talented people I've ever met, so I really wanted to plug him and like show.

01:29:46.023 --> 01:29:48.475
He really got something to say for real.

01:29:48.475 --> 01:29:51.240
So smino is one of the bigger artists.

01:29:51.240 --> 01:30:07.442
Chris patrick's a little is getting more known and zuri is definitely somebody who I consider one of the coolest people, the coolest artists I've ever met, had the pleasure to meet, so definitely tap in with him all right, we'll definitely definitely tap into uh series.

01:30:07.682 --> 01:30:13.337
Ig is cupid shot zuri, so I would follow him and check him out oh, oh nice.

01:30:13.358 --> 01:30:14.699
Can you say that one more time?

01:30:15.000 --> 01:30:17.283
Cupid shot Zuri, so yeah.

01:30:17.923 --> 01:30:18.744
Perfect, thank you.

01:30:18.824 --> 01:30:19.145
Thank you.

01:30:20.331 --> 01:30:21.354
Definitely check him out.

01:30:21.354 --> 01:30:22.377
We'll definitely check him out.

01:30:22.377 --> 01:30:26.639
And one final plug again We'll be at King's next week.

01:30:26.639 --> 01:30:27.914
We will be at King's.
