Introduction and Sports Overview
00:00:12
Speaker
What is up, Goal Line listeners? I am back for another episode of the Goal Line podcast. And as always, we're coming up another exciting weekend of football action.
00:00:23
Speaker
And I can't wait to get into it with all of you. Today is kind of a special day. It's October 27th. um It is the sports equinox where NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL all have games today. So kind of a cool day.
00:00:39
Speaker
um We are...
Football Game Updates
00:00:41
Speaker
There's about eight minutes left in the football game, and it's 14-7 Kansas City right now. I'll try to keep up on it and kind of just talk through it as we go.
00:00:51
Speaker
haven't seen a whole lot in this game so far. Mahomes has two picks. Washington had a pretty good chance to take control of this game, but didn't and just didn't make the most of their opportunities. Went for it on fourth down a couple times and were stopped. So, um but yeah, 14-7 right now. And then the ah World Series game is 4-4 in the bottom of the fifth inning. So that's kind of where we're at on everything.
00:01:15
Speaker
um Yeah, that's really it. Yeah, ah yeah let's ah let's get into some college football football talk.
00:01:32
Speaker
All right. As always, let's ah start with my team. we'll ah We'll start with the Huskers. They got a 28-21 win against Northwestern. and um i know I've said it numerous times on this show this season.
00:01:45
Speaker
These were the type of games that Nebraska could not win in previous years, and and they just found a way. I mean, it was an ugly second half. It just... yeah Again, one of those games where they usually find a way to lose and they find a way to win. So um that's kind of just what I'm goingnna take from this game. There's there's not a whole lot hold my lot else to take from this. Like I said, just a gutty performance and and getting that win is such a big thing for them.
00:02:11
Speaker
Saturday night they have USC coming to Lincoln for a 630 kickoff. So I'm interested to see how that goes. USC is ranked, so they're going to beat the they're gonna have to kill the ranked streak if if they're going to... Yeah, they just haven't beat a ranked team in so long. that It's just... don't know. It always seems like everything goes against them when they play ranked teams. So we'll see how Saturday night goes. ah I'm looking forward to the game, and hopefully they come out on top.
00:02:42
Speaker
Seth's team, Tennessee, just obliterated Kentucky. Tennessee just kind of controlled this game from the start. It just... There's not really a whole lot to go into about this game. Tennessee looks really good.
00:02:58
Speaker
Indiana, I just don't know what you're supposed to like i don't know how many more things I can heap on this team. like they've They've played really well. They're undefeated. They continue to roll the teams they need to roll. I mean, this is what good teams do. They beat the bad teams and they beat them badly. So, yeah, just steamrolled UCLA. And UCLA actually had been playing better. So I thought this was a pretty impressive win by Indiana for all that has gone on this season.
00:03:25
Speaker
Next game i want to talk about. Memphis beat South Florida in probably one of the best football games of the entire weekend. Came down to the very end. um Memphis gets a touchdown with I want to say I want to say it was like a minute left in the game I might be wrong I'm gonna try to go through my notes here and see exactly when they did score that last touchdown but yeah either way incredible game good for Memphis winning the game yeah they scored with 107 left to go up one point and South Florida unfortunately couldn't get it done so yeah great win for Memphis and um
00:04:01
Speaker
Yeah, it's just their quarterback was banged up coming into this week, so I just didn't know how they were going to perform. And they obviously lost last week, got upset. um But they looked good, man. Good win for them.
College Football Highlights
00:04:14
Speaker
Ole Miss downs Oklahoma. I thought Ole Miss was going to control this game, and they kind of did. i just i felt like Ole Miss is a better team. I still don't feel like Oklahoma is all that good.
00:04:27
Speaker
It's just ever since Mateer had surgery, they just they have not looked like the same team anymore, and it kind of just happened again on Saturday. i just I feel like Ole Miss is just such a better team than than Oklahoma at this point.
00:04:41
Speaker
Yeah. Oklahoma's got a tough one this week too. So we'll ah we'll kind of see kind of see where they go. But I would not be surprised they lose again this week and then they're unranked. So that's just kind of my feelings on Oklahoma right now.
00:04:55
Speaker
Georgia Tech wins again. i don't know about you guys, but this feels like one of the quietest eight no starts for a Power 4 team that I can remember. I just feel like Georgia Tech is playing really good football, and everybody just wants to doubt them and just kind of...
00:05:13
Speaker
I don't know. Just everything I hear about him is eventually to run out. And it might. I'm not i'm not saying that Georgia Tech's some unbeatable team. They're definitely not. But I also feel like Georgia Tech deserves a lot of respect for what they've done so far. And, yeah, I'm going to give it to them. Haynes King has played so well. And, yeah, they just they keep winning. So, I mean, until they lose, like, what are you going to say about them?
00:05:35
Speaker
Another team that's not getting any respect, BYU went into Iowa State as a three-point underdog. I thought I was honestly missing something on this line. I didn't didn't understand it. I bet BYU pretty heavily because I assumed that – I don't know.
00:05:51
Speaker
I just, I did not see what Vegas was seeing in this game. Iowa State's been pretty down the past couple weeks. And like I said, BYU's undefeated and they've been playing really well. So I took BYU.
00:06:02
Speaker
They did not start off well at all. Like the beginning of this game, i was, all I was thinking was, well, apparently Vegas did know and Jordan did not. So, but yeah, they came out on top, played a really good game. So ah yeah, BYU still undefeated as well.
00:06:20
Speaker
Vanderbilt got their first win as a top 10 team. I want to say it was like 60 years. so They beat Missouri in a really close game. Really hard fought game. Both teams played really well.
00:06:32
Speaker
I just... i akin It's weird seeing Vandy play this well, but i mean what what can you say? like They keep winning. The only game they've lost is the Bama game. i mean they're They're playing really good football. so I'm interested to see if it continues or not because I really do enjoy watching this team. Like I said last week, they're just an enjoyable team to watch. and I'm all for it, man. I hope they keep playing well and I hope they keep winning in because this is good for college football. i want I want one of these teams to kind of be an underdog. you know I want to see something different than just your normal Alabama, Georgia, all that stuff every year. So it's enjoyable watching this.
00:07:12
Speaker
um another team that I don't even know how what to even say about Texas A&M anymore. This team is super impressive, and every week I feel like people just doubt them as well. like I feel like this team just shuts everybody up week to week, and they just keep going out and doing what they're doing and keep winning games. and I mean, they beat LSU bad enough where LSU fired Brian Kelly and their offensive coordinator,
00:07:40
Speaker
Me and Seth talked about this at length on numerous episodes. I always thought Brian Kelly was such a weird hire for LSU. he just He did not seem like an LSU guy.
00:07:52
Speaker
it just it just never seemed like it fit to me. There was just something that was always off about him. um i don't know how much of the recruiting videos and stuff you guys saw where he was dancing around and stuff, but there's just...
00:08:06
Speaker
There was always there's always something about Brian Kelly that seems off to me. And the fact that Notre Dame was just basically like, here, you guys can take him. I don't know. I just and never got a good read for Brian Kelly, and I just never understood all the hype behind him. But, yeah, so LSU is looking for a coach again. i mean, this is arguably one of the best jobs that can come open. So I'm sure they're going to have their pick of the litter on who they want to be their coach.
00:08:32
Speaker
I mean, immediately you got to go to James Franklin. You got to assume he's up for this job. Like it just, he's coached in the sec before he coached at Vanderbilt. I just, I feel like this is going to be the first guy on their list. It just feels like, I mean, Nick Saban's probably number one, but can you really get Nick Saban to come back and coach? But so I'd assume James Franklin is going to be the number one guy on their list.
Challenges and Changes in Coaching
00:08:56
Speaker
Uh, Yeah, let's let's talk about the night game on Saturday night. Colorado, I think, has officially hit rock bottom in the Deion era. I just... The first half, i mean, this is what I want to talk about just because this just seems so eye-opening.
00:09:14
Speaker
So Utah was up forty three to zero at halftime. Utah had yards of offense. Colorado had minus i ah Dion is getting all these big recruits and transfers and all that stuff, and they're just not performing.
00:09:32
Speaker
I've said it numerous times. i i just don't believe that Dion's an actual good head coach. Seth said it too. Seth ah said numerous times he's the rah-rah guy. He's the recruiter. But when it gets to X's and O's, he's not the guy for that.
00:09:47
Speaker
And I mean, to be fair, Deion has surrounded himself with a ton of hall of Fame talent, and sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. I mean, Warren Sapp, Marshall Falk, all those guys, Terrell Owens, like, yeah, those guys are great at football, but can you pass it off to a younger person is the thing, and i right now I would say the overwhelming answer is going to be a no, so I don't know where Colorado goes. I mean,
00:10:16
Speaker
Do you fire Dion? Like, they're bad, but... I mean, there's never been this much hype around Colorado. Even if they are that bad, I just... don't what does the logistics look like a firing Deion? He's probably got some kind of buyout. And then what what kind of coach are you going to get after him? Like, well who wants that job? It's just Colorado's not the most attractive job. I don't know if and if I'm breaking news to anybody, but i I just find it hard to believe that Colorado's going to be, like, a very attractive job to take.
00:10:48
Speaker
And you've to assume if Deion leaves, all those kids are leaving too. Like, I would assume they would have a huge roster turnover if Deion left. So, yeah. um Yeah, we'll see. That's really all I wanted to break down from college football this week. Let's get into the college picks for this week.
00:11:04
Speaker
So we've got three games that ranked teams are playing. So we've got number 17 Cincinnati, who is absolutely rolling right now at number 24 Utah.
00:11:15
Speaker
I think Cincinnati keeps it going. Soresby is playing really well. ah Just their defense does enough. Yeah. i just I feel like Cincinnati is just going to keep it going. Utah's a good team, but i just I feel like Cincinnati has the better overall team.
00:11:31
Speaker
Okay, here's a good one. We've got number nine Vanderbilt. Yes, that's right. Number nine Vanderbilt at number 20 Texas.
00:11:43
Speaker
I'm still just not sold on this Texas team. Like i they came back against Mississippi state. I should have mentioned that they had a furious comeback in the fourth quarter against Mississippi state. They scored 24 points to win.
00:11:54
Speaker
Um, I'm going go Vanderbilt, man. i Like I said, i just i think this team's fun, and I i want them to keep it rolling. So I'm yeah i'm just going to keep going with Vanderbilt until they so the wheels fall off. But, yeah, I'll go Vanderbilt just mainly because I don't like Texas either. I just i feel like that team's not not performing up to the standard that we had expected.
00:12:20
Speaker
Then our last rent game, we have number 18 Oklahoma at number 14 Tennessee. Again, I'm not buying the Oklahoma hype. I think Tennessee probably runs it up a little bit on Oklahoma this weekend. I feel like Tennessee's a better team, and I just feel like Tennessee is going to establish some dominance in the second half. and Yeah, i just I feel like Tennessee rolls Oklahoma.
00:12:45
Speaker
That's it for college football this week.
NFL Game Analysis and Predictions
00:12:47
Speaker
Let's... ah Regrettably, talk some NFL football.
00:13:06
Speaker
All right, what you guys all wait for every week. Me to discuss the ups and downs of the Falcons this week. Major down. All right.
00:13:18
Speaker
I'll be honest with you guys. ah I stopped watching this game with six minutes to go in the first half just because was annoying me so bad. it just... The optics of this game are not good.
00:13:29
Speaker
It's just... It's not good at all. Two ahead. Pink eyes you could only really see out of one eye. He's got a thumb issue.
00:13:39
Speaker
ah I threw a touchdown the first quarter for the first time in 13 games. I mean... just everything about this game was god-awful. i I really don't know how else to say it and It's just they did not look good.
00:13:55
Speaker
Yeah, it this is frustrating as a Falcons fan to watch this team go from beating Buffalo to whatever they did on Sunday night against the 49ers, which I still think the 49ers are a good team, so I kind of let that one slide, but
00:14:12
Speaker
You have a loss to the Panthers, 30-0, and then you have this loss yesterday. ah i honestly thought someone might get fired today. Raheem Morris came on. He defended Zach Robinson, which i don't know why anybody would be defending Zach Robinson because to me, he's been absolutely awful. don't know, man.
00:14:36
Speaker
As a Falcons fan, this is really, really frustrating to watch. and It's just, um I'm not enjoying myself at all. like we have to have this conversation once every month where I just kind break it down to you guys, the state of the union of the Falcons.
00:14:51
Speaker
It's not good. It's, it's bad. Top to bottom. It's bad. and Um, I still don't think this team has any idea how to use Bijan. Just the week-to-week discrepancy is just really frustrating as a fan.
00:15:05
Speaker
um Just control that both lines of scrimmage in this game. It was pathetic. there's There's really nothing to take away from this game. Raheem Morris seems to think he's going to figure it out, but I don't think Raheem Morris has any clue what he's doing. So whether or not he actually does figure it out is –
00:15:24
Speaker
I don't think they're figuring anything out. I think he's getting fired at the end of this this year. I think they're starting a new staff again. And the problem is is I don't see a lot of like exciting hires out there right now.
00:15:36
Speaker
um It wouldn't surprise me if they hired somebody like Mike McCarthy or something along those lines. like Just a total... unexciting black hire. Like, I mean, to me, that's what Raheem Morris was. He was just a completely meh hire when that, that round of hiring had so many good potential head coaches and that's who the Falcons hired. and He wouldn't fire his friends in Tampa. And we all saw how that went down and he won't fire his friends in Atlanta. And we see how that's going down. So yeah, dark days as a Falcons fan.
00:16:10
Speaker
I just, I don't know. Kirk Cousins did not look good. So anybody that thought that it was all panics, it definitely wasn't. It just, everything about Sunday was bad.
00:16:22
Speaker
<unk> We'll see how they come out this week, but I don't know. They got Patriots and then Colts in Germany. I just, think it's going to be very, very bad these next couple weeks. and I'm guessing they'll be on a four game losing streak. It's just, yeah the optics of this team are not good. It's just, it's not fun to watch. And,
00:16:42
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure I'm stressing everything that every Falcons fan and everybody that watches this team is thinking, but it's just it's not enjoyable at all. um Speaking of not enjoyable, Titans.
00:16:58
Speaker
um I'm glad this team has Cam Ward because that's about the only exciting thing this team has. it's It's bad to watch. The Colts, granted, I do still think the Colts are the best team in the NFL, so this is not necessarily all about just the Titans being bad. I think the Colts are really, really good.
00:17:16
Speaker
ah There was just a couple of pictures I saw from that game yesterday of the holes that the line was opening up for Jonathan Taylor, and I'm pretty sure I could have gained 60 yards in that game. i mean, maybe not 60. Maybe I meant six yards, but either way, I could have gained some yards with the holes that the offensive line was opening. It just
00:17:37
Speaker
Titans are not good. I mean, there's no other way to slice it. They're not a good football team and the Colts are very good. So just was not a good match at all. ah Let's go back to Thursday night.
00:17:50
Speaker
Chargers dismantled the Vikings. I mean, that was, that was a whooping. Chargers looked really good. They get Joel back and immediately round back into form, ran the ball really well.
00:18:03
Speaker
Herbert looked really good. It's just Vikings coming into this season. i I didn't know what to think of this team, but what they are now is just, it's bad.
00:18:19
Speaker
Carson Wentz was announced today that he's having surgery on his left shoulder, so he's done for the year. So they'll be going back to JJ McCarthy this week. We'll see how that goes. I mean, I'm a Vikings fan. I'm pretty disheartened with the team they have right now.
00:18:33
Speaker
It's just not good. They didn't look good at it all on Thursday night. They got lot of issues to clean up. but
00:18:42
Speaker
And i'm i'm just going to do one of the listener mail questions now. My friend Mike Miller asked if I think it was a good idea ah for the Vikings to let Sam Darnold walk based on what we've seen so far.
00:18:54
Speaker
I mean, the obvious answer here is no. I get what they're trying to do and just kind of hand the reins over to J.J. McCarthy. Like, I get it. But i mean, at this point, like, yeah, obviously they would be.
00:19:10
Speaker
Would they be a different team with Sam Darnold? Their offensive line looks pretty bad week to week. So. I don't know. I mean, ah I'm going to say yes, they should have kept Sam Darnold, but i don't know if paying him all that money was the right answer either right after you drafted a quarterback. So I don't know. They were in a bad spot, I think, but good for Sam Darnold. He's on a ah team that is striving in the Seahawks and the Vikings fans are just kind of left scratching their heads. So I don't, I don't know where they go from here.
00:19:43
Speaker
Uh, The only one-score game of the entire weekend was Jets and Bengals, and the Jets get their first win. This was an atrocious weekend of NFL football. There's there's really no other way to put it.
00:19:58
Speaker
Like I just said, that was the only one-score game of Sunday. Well, as of right now, it's the only one-score game of the entire weekend. so the Good for the Jets, man. Good for Aaron Glenn.
00:20:09
Speaker
The Bengals just gave this game away at the end. they just they Their defense looked like they had no no intent on trying on defense at the end of that game and get with the game winning touchdown. And yeah, rest is history. Just Bengals got some soul searching to do.
00:20:29
Speaker
They've looked better with Flacco, obviously than Browning, but man, they got, that's a bad loss. That's, that's a very, very bad loss. Cause the jets are not good. I mean, we've said it over and over how bad this team is. And,
00:20:42
Speaker
Woody Johnson wanted Justin Fields' bench, and they came out there and did that, and they won the game. like it's It's just not a good look at all for the Bengals. But congrats to the Jets on their first win. um Eagles steamrolled the Giants.
00:20:58
Speaker
I mean, really, what can you say about this game? the The Eagles did look like the Eagles again in this game, which it's weird. They got to kind have a Jekyll and Hyde thing where one week they look like the team we all think they are, and then the next week they look like They have no interest in playing football. um The most unfortunate thing that came out of this game, Cam Scadaboo's season is over.
00:21:19
Speaker
yeah destroyed his ankle. I had said that I didn't think he'd make it to week 10 the way he played. This was a completely... This had nothing to do with the way he plays. It's just unfortunate. and Got landed on, and yeah, it sucks.
00:21:36
Speaker
uh Ravens beat the Bears to get their second one of the season without Lamar Jackson I I honestly don't know what the hell the Bears were doing or what their game plan in this game was but it was bad it was very bad could not score in the red zone Caleb Williams looked completely lost against a defense that has been one of the worst in the league. I don't know, man. i just and NFL is so weird week to week. and I just saw today that the Ravens right now are favored to win the AFC North, and they have two wins right now. like Yeah, not good.
00:22:16
Speaker
Um, bills just destroy the Panthers. You kind of had to figure the bills were going to have their get right game after the bi-week Panthers were starting Andy Dalton. This just had all the makings of a massacre of a football game. that's exactly what it was. James Cook just ran all over their defense.
00:22:34
Speaker
Um, This was a good win for the Bills. They needed it. They needed a game like this bad. I mean, the last time they were on the field, they lost to the Falcons. So, can't imagine that was a good feeling at all. So, coming out and just beating the crap out of the Panthers, good for them.
00:22:50
Speaker
um Texans beat the 49ers. This one kind of shocked me. Not because I don't think the Texans are a good football team, just because the way the 49ers just kept playing through all these injuries, it just seemed like they would just keep it rolling no matter who was out there. and Um, 49ers only had three possessions or two possessions in the first half. I think maybe three either way Texans just ground the clock out and yeah, they looked like a good team yesterday and 49ers just didn't play their best ball.
00:23:21
Speaker
Uh, next game Broncos Cowboys, the Broncos just absolutely steamrolled the Cowboys. It started out and it looked like it was going to be a good game at the start, but Cowboys defense just offered no resistance at all. Like,
00:23:36
Speaker
There was just nothing good about what the Cowboys did at all defensively yesterday. So, yeah. Broncos are starting to look good. Bo Nix looked good yesterday. We'll see where they go from here. Bucs beat the Saints.
00:23:49
Speaker
This was one of the worst games of the entire weekend. The Saints just looked – they looked incapable of doing anything yesterday. The Bucs offense didn't exactly light up the world. They need to get Bucky back bad I like Rashad White, but they need Bucky back really bad.
00:24:07
Speaker
um it sounds like he's going to be back after this bye week. They're going to get bye week and hopefully get healthy. But, yeah, we'll just kind of see where it goes from there. Sunday night, Packers beat the Steelers.
00:24:20
Speaker
Packers in the second half just absolutely destroyed whatever will the Steelers had left. Yeah. yeah this This was bad for the Steelers in the second half. Their defense just crumbled. And again, Packers just did whatever they wanted. Jordan Love lit it up last night.
00:24:38
Speaker
Tucker Craft looked incredible. Yeah, I don't really know what else to say about that game other than that. I mean, it sucks for the Steelers because I didn't think they were great coming into this game, but They looked really overmatched in the second half of that game. And Michael Parsons came alive and yeah they just kind of did their thing. But yeah, weird week of football.
00:25:06
Speaker
NFL just, it was not good at all this week. it There was just a lot of really bad football being played. So um yeah, let's ah let's get into the week nine picks.
00:25:20
Speaker
All right, let's get it started. Thursday night, we've got the rave the two and five Ravens at the 2-6 Dolphins. The Ravens should win this game with ease. I highly doubt the Dolphins come out and look good two weeks in a row. Not saying the Ravens are great, but I feel like they're starting to get healthy. Lamar's probably getting closer to playing. I'm imagining this week he plays, if not next week, obviously. But yeah, just I think the Ravens are the better team.
00:25:45
Speaker
This should be an interesting game. The 4-3 Bears at the 3-5 Bengals. Bengals coming off a really bad loss. Obviously, Bears as well.
00:25:58
Speaker
I'm going to go Bears, but I don't feel good about it. um ah I don't think... I think Zach Taylor's days are numbered as a Bengals coach. I just i don't feel like he knows what he's doing with this team anymore. And Yeah, I'll take the Bears.
00:26:16
Speaker
We have the 3-4 Falcons going to New England to the 6-2 Patriots. um I have no reason to believe that the Patriots just don't destroy the Falcons in this game, so I'll go Patriots.
00:26:29
Speaker
We have the 3-4 Vikings with J.J. McCarthy as a starting quarterback going to the 5-2 Lions. Lions off a bye week. I just, I got to imagine the Lions are going to wreck the Vikings this weekend, and it's it's going to probably get ugly.
00:26:45
Speaker
Four and four Panthers at the five, one and one Packers. Packers, I think this is going to be pretty bad as well. So yeah, I think Packers win this game handily.
00:26:56
Speaker
Five and three Chargers at the one and seven Titans. Chargers by a lot. I just don't think the Titans are going to offer much resistance against the Chargers. So yeah, Chargers easily.
00:27:09
Speaker
5-3 49ers at the 2-6 Giants. I'll go 49ers. I just think that Scadaboo injury is just going to trickle down on this team. and i just ah Jackson Dart looked really shook up after Scadaboo got hurt. and i just I think they're in trouble now. 7-1 Colts traveling to the 4-3 Steelers.
00:27:29
Speaker
Colts. i just I think they're just going to keep it rolling. and Again, I don't think the Steelers are playing well at all. so yeah i just I think the Colts keep it going. Uh, this should be an interesting game.
00:27:40
Speaker
Six and two, six and two Broncos at the three and four Texans.
00:27:48
Speaker
Sounds like Patrick Sertan might miss about a month with a pec injury. Having said that, I just think that the Broncos defense is going to give Stroud fits. I just, I don't believe it.
00:28:01
Speaker
I'm going to take the Broncos in this game. I just feel like they're playing better and they are the better team. So. We got the 4-3 Jags at the 2-5 Raiders, both teams off a bye.
00:28:12
Speaker
I'll take the Jags. I just, I don't know the Raiders are doing, man. Pete Carroll just seems like he has no idea what he's doing at this point. 1-7 Saints at the 5-2 Rams.
00:28:24
Speaker
Rams, I just, Puka's coming back this week, and that team seems like they kind of got to figure it out. So, yeah, i'm going to go Rams. Uh, four and three chiefs at the five and two bills. This is probably game of the week.
00:28:37
Speaker
Um, I'm
00:28:42
Speaker
going to say the bills get them. The bills usually have the upper hand in the regular season. I'll say it continues. And since it's at Buffalo, I'll say the bills get them. Uh, five and two Seahawks at the three and four commanders.
00:28:55
Speaker
Even if Jaden Daniels plays, I feel like the Seahawks are going to – their defense is just going to kind of – I don't think they're going let the commanders do anything offensively. I'll take the Seahawks off a bye.
00:29:06
Speaker
Then we've got Monday night, 2-5 Cardinals at the 3-4-1 Cowboys.
00:29:13
Speaker
I mean, I guess I'll take the Cowboys in that game. Like, it's not going to be real much real excitement there, I don't think. But, yeah, I guess I'll go Cowboys. All right, that is it for picks. Let's ah let's get into some listener mail.
Listener Questions and Personal Insights
00:29:30
Speaker
right, we got a lot of of questions from the same people here. So we'll start with Sam Rosenthal's questions. Do you think hip drop tackles are intentional? I feel like they usually are not.
00:29:41
Speaker
I wouldn't say intentional. I feel like the players are just more than anything trying to get somebody to the ground. And sometimes they just grab onto their hips and just kind of just try to yank them down. I mean, I feel like that was...
00:29:53
Speaker
That was kind of the move when you were a little kid to just try to get someone's legs out from underneath them. And I feel that's kind of what what you got going here. um It sucks, man. It sucks to see it happen because usually it ends in an injury.
00:30:06
Speaker
But I guess this is the kind of injuries that they're just trying to stop from happening. So I get why they flag it and it probably should be flagged. But no, I don't think it's intentional. Sam also asked Bijan only ran nine times against the worst rush defense in the NFL. How on earth did they not run more?
00:30:26
Speaker
I mean, we already went into this. The Falcons are clueless, so I don't think we really need to go into that much more. His next question, how can I become a college football coach to get fired and keep getting paid? um Sam, I've looked into this probably no less than 30 times on what it takes to become a Division one college football coach.
00:30:44
Speaker
Hell, I'd take a Division III and work my way up to Division one honestly, but yeah, it's wild the amount these guys are getting paid. Brian Kelly's going to get $800K a month for like I don't even remember. that They said five years maybe. That's insane.
00:31:01
Speaker
Why won't Jonathan Taylor win MVP? This one's easy. He is having an incredible year, and I do believe it continues, but the problem is this has always been a quarterback award, so I'd be pretty shocked if anybody but a quarterback won it, honestly. Our friend Tony Barker asks, where do you see James Franklin or Brian Kelly landing next year?
00:31:24
Speaker
The NFL, perchance? I don't know where Brian Kelly lands. I think he should probably at least take a year off from coaching. James Franklin's going have his pick of the litter in college. I don't think he'll go pro.
00:31:36
Speaker
um But yeah, James Franklin's going to have a ton of offers, and I feel like he's earned that. Uh, Tony also asked, how excited are you for the upcoming Fortnite update with the Simpsons?
00:31:51
Speaker
think it's be cool. Um, I definitely enjoy playing some Fortnite and I think the, with the Simpsons, um, graphics and everything, I think it'll be pretty cool. So yeah, I'm interested in it.
00:32:05
Speaker
Tony also asks, are you and the fam dressing up as anything for Halloween? so So, our daughter's birthday is the 29th, so she's actually doing her party on Halloween this year.
00:32:16
Speaker
ah Her and her friends all got, like, different onesies or something. I don't i't really know. um I'm dressing up as Michael Myers, and Ari is dressing up as a Triceratops, so...
00:32:29
Speaker
Yeah, we we always try to dress up and we love Halloween. I mean, we've talked about this numerous times, how much we love Halloween in this household. So, yeah, I'm I'm very excited for Halloween, as always. And it being a Friday just makes it even better.
00:32:43
Speaker
Resident pervert Philip Dunnett asks, what's the sexiest face you've carved into a pumpkin? The sexiest face I've carved into a pumpkin. Well, I've only really carved... Outside of just like your normal jack-o'-lantern. And the only face I've ever carved is Captain Spaulding. So, I mean, I guess I'd say Captain Spaulding. Like, I don't know if that's sexy or not. It is a clown.
00:33:05
Speaker
And considering this question is coming from a clown, it kind of just fits. All right. Last question is from my beautiful wife. What has been your favorite costume ever worn?
00:33:16
Speaker
um
00:33:20
Speaker
Man, this is a tough one. um
00:33:26
Speaker
My Bruno costume that I did... um That was probably the funniest costume I ever worn. um Me and Tony did the Nasty Boys one year. That was really fun.
00:33:37
Speaker
don't know. I just get so into Halloween. I i love what kind of all my Halloween costumes. But, yeah, and I dressed up as Captain Spalding one year. that That was really good, too. So, yeah, I guess I can't pick a favorite. I like all of them.
00:33:50
Speaker
So, it's always fun. Like I said, um, Halloween such a great time of year. so yeah, thanks for the questions guys. Um, that's pretty much going to wrap it up for this week.
00:34:00
Speaker
Again, thanks for bearing with me on, uh, on doing this by myself. it it is hard to do a podcast by yourself, believe it or not. It feels completely different when you're just the only one talking. So again, I appreciate all the feedback I got this week.
