Speaker: All that fun jazz. I'm Glick, as always, joined by this bearded buffoon. Which one's the bearded buffoon?
Speaker: Both of us!
Speaker: Pretty fucking much. So, it a... little altern and whatnot gotta find... There we go. That'll work.
Speaker: Yeah, we'll do that. So, little little bit longer intro than planned. I was calculating yeah and doing math and doing numbers um last week and the week before our picks.
Speaker: um Week 15... um I went 14 and four. You were 12 and six. With ah Lone Wolf standings for myself, was four and two, and you were two and four.
Speaker: what Opposites as usual. Yeah. Last week, I was eight and ten in my Pixar brawl. And 0 and six on my Lone Wolfs.
Speaker: Therefore, you were 6-0 on your lone wolves, and you were 14-4 last week. Did you just say 6-0 on my lone wolves? Yeah. What the fuck? Every one of our lone wolves was not... it was It was an off week last Sunday. Let's say that. Dude, I cashed the fuck in six and o on lone wolves, bro.
Speaker: Yeah. Last week was... ah That shit never happens. No, especially with the lone wolves that you had.
Speaker: Yeah, some fucking awesome. Maybe. Am I retarded? yeah Do you want me to answer that truthfully? Yeah. um yeah I am saw the argument you had with Brittany last night over absolutely nothing.
Speaker: She's fucking stupid. I know. She's your problem, not mine. ah No, I am stupid. We were one to...
Speaker: Yes, 6-0. I had that. What's up, Minty? What's going on, Minty? I just had it jotted down differently because I just wrote it real quick.
Speaker: You were the Mlone Wolves last night. nicely smoke them Nicely done. Maintain.
Speaker: Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy. Where are we at? Week 17, man. before we get into too much ah of the talking of the foosball and before these games get started, let's run through these picks real quick.
Speaker: Starting off with the Browns versus the Steelers.
Speaker: know you If the Steelers win today, they win the division for the first time since 2020. Also, the Steelers have not swept the Browns in seven years.
Speaker: I'm actually going to go with the Brownies on this one. I think Shadork's going to get his first W. Shadork already has a W. Does he? Yeah, he got his first win. as ah His first start was a win.
Speaker: I didn't think that was win. He was the first Browns quarterback to get a win in his first. Oh, well, I think Shadork's going to get the dub today then.
Speaker: I think Miles Garrett breaks his record on A.A. Ron Rogers. I'm obviously going with the Browns in this one because I said I'm riding this train all season long and I have not swayed. But, yes, I'm hoping my man, Miles Garrett, number 95, gets to add another legend to his graveyard and breaks it up.
Speaker: He said it would be more meaningful to break the record on um Aaron Rodgers than any other quarterback in the NFL. o Oh, wow, it's raining, and it wasn't supposed to rain today.
Speaker: Yes, exactly. They were talking earlier. What was it? They said LT set the record or something um by sacking Brett Favre.
Speaker: The only way that would be better is if Aaron Rodgers still played for Green Bay and he broke the record sacking Aaron Rodgers with Green Bay. Yeah, right? um But Aaron Rodgers, earlier this season when they played, was a little bit cocky after the game, bumping his gums about Miles Garrett not getting a sack on him and being one of the few quarterbacks that Miles Garrett has not sacked.
Speaker: in his career. i today i hope he breaks not only the season record, but I hope he re-breaks and resets his in-game record and gets six tackles today sacks today. Oh.
Speaker: Oh. because Single game record he set against the Patriots was five sacks in a game and then he matched that a couple weeks later and got five sacks again.
Speaker: I'm hoping he goes for six today. Oh. So fuck you. A.A. Ron Rogers. I do got to say, though, man, for his age, the dude's still balling.
Speaker: He is balling. I know a lot of people were kind of down on Aaron Rogers, but he's in his 40s and he still looks pretty damn good. I mean, he doesn't look good.
Speaker: i mean I mean, for his age, he looks good. He looks good. He looks good. He looks good. He looks bad at Alaska. Took him for a ride that he still is working on getting back from. He better than some of these cats that are half his age. You're right. You're right.
Speaker: And he still balls better than some of these cats that aren't balling right now and should be. Yeah. Cam Newton, who nobody wants to touch. Man, Cam Newton just needs to just stop.
Speaker: So I'm going with the brownies on this game with you, bud. I'm going with the Brownies in this one as well. We got the Cardinals and the Bengals of Kentucky. This I'm going for the clock.
Speaker: Actually, I think the Bengals finished the season with a W. Although, isn't Jacoby Brissett playing for the cards right now? yeah Yes. He's been balling with the cards.
Speaker: He has been, but the cards are still the cards and they suck. Yeah, I'm still going with the Bengals. Jacoby Percent can throw for six tutties, and the defense will allow the other team to get 10. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: But I'm going with the Bengals in this one as well. The Saints and the Titans. Titans. Titans coming off a big dub. Titans up.
Speaker: Yep, the Titans are coming off of a big dub. you know what? Let me scratch that. I was going to say Saints.
Speaker: But I'm going to go Titans. Why? Because I need the Saints to lose. Not that they're really in any way, shape, and or form going to affect what happens to the Buccaneers and whether they win the division or not because that's all in the Bucs' hands.
Speaker: But fuck the Saints. And let's tighten up for our lawyer Derek, who I may need if I ever go to Canada, as we discussed last night. but Yeah. yeah Mr. Canada over here.
Speaker: The Jaguars versus the Colts. What happened to the Colts, dude? They lost their quarterback. What happened to the Colts? Now they have Grandpa Rivers, who is playing good. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker: But he's not...
Speaker: He's not Danny Dimes, that's for sure. Danny Dimes can beat him in the air and on the ground, and Phillip Rivers can literally only beat him in the air. no Yeah, he's 44 years old. Yeah, he can't take off and run.
Speaker: I wonder if he looks like Joe Biden on prize picks this week. Let's take a look, shall we? You said jet Jags because Philip Joe Biden. Yep. um Dude, the Jags are rolling this year. I'm going to have to go with Jacksonville.
Speaker: Oh, they took his his his face off. Aw. He no longer looks like Sleepy Joe. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: Yeah, the the Jaguars are rolling this year. Surprisingly, a pretty damn good team. Yeah. i'm going Well, they won their division. Yeah. They actually smoked their division,
Speaker: which honestly doesn't say too much. but I was going to say, I mean, Tennessee, Indianapolis, Houston. Houston. No, not Houston. Is it Houston? Yeah, Houston. Houston.
Speaker: I thought it was Tennessee, Indy, and Cincinnati. No, Cincinnati's in the and the AFC North with Cleveland. That's so dumb, but okay. Yeah.
Speaker: So dumb. In a must-win situation for the Tampa Bay Baconeers. Yeah. And versus the Miami Dolphins. I'm going Bucs, man. um um' I'm going Buccaneers in this one.
Speaker: Buccaneers, huh? Against Miami? Yeah. Miami's been fucking right there, dude. Right there the last couple games. Yeah. um i'm gonna I'm gonna go with the Buccaneers, but they could have a season spoiled by the Dolphins.
Speaker: Ah, yes. Well, you know, the crazy thing about it is the Bucs could lose today and win next week against Carolina and still win their division and make the playoffs.
Speaker: Eight nine. Minty, I like Minty's line. Miami's starting Quinn Ewers, a UT, University of Texas guy. and And he's a big Texas fan, so he would definitely like to see Miami get a dub on Quinn Ewers. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: I can't believe my kid is going for Miami, who's in the same conference as Buffalo, and are like, second most hated rival in the NFL. Yeah. But I understand his point.
Speaker: You understand his logic. Yes, he's a fan. So that's something that's changed a lot for me in the last bunch of years. I've gotten away from so much of being a a proponent for teams and more of a proponent for players. Oh.
Speaker: Having watched him come out of college. Does that make sense? I, yeah, no, I, I, you know, I, I love my Browns, obviously they're trash, but I love them. But, um,
Speaker: Over the last several years, um there's a lot of players that come out of college that I like liked in college, and I watch them in the NFL. So I find myself rooting for them to do do well, and then I wound up finding myself rooting for a said team to win. yeah don would Do me a favor. If you go to Canada, um take Brittany with you.
Speaker: So when you can't come back, she's stuck there too. I might get in trouble for that just in general. We got the Seattle Sea Chickens that are on the fire this year and Carolina. And Carolina needs to lose. Typically, I would go for the Panthers.
Speaker: But because i love me some Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I'm going for the Sea Chickens this week. I'm going to go.
Speaker: Man, that's a tough one. I think I'm going to go with the sea chickens because of, you know why, Sam fucking Darnold. Sam fucking Darnold.
Speaker: I have Bucs fans at school. I'd love them to lose. What up, floor? That was actually the focal point of NFL Network, Monty.
Speaker: If you want to put that on your television, be right Damn, man. Shadork Sanders with a fucking dime. I can't get that game yet. I get it right here on Red Zone, though.
Speaker: All right. Into our late games. We got the... Again, I think we're going to be rooting for the clock in this one. ah ah The Giants versus the Raiders.
Speaker: um Well, Max Crosby's out. Yeah, Max Crosby is out. And when they told him he was sitting, he stormed out of the facility and left the property.
Speaker: He has a knee injury. He is pissed. um Keep an eye on that for a trade in the offseason. Yeah. But I'm going to go with the Gigantos.
Speaker: I think Tyrone Tracy, Devin Motor Singletary, and Wendell. really pull it together and get the gigantos a W today.
Speaker: What just to be different and this game doesn't matter. And we all lose in this situation. I'm going to go ahead and hit the first lone wolf of the day. Well, I'm not going to lose. Cause I'm not going to waste my time watching it. So yeah, but I'm just going to, I'm going to go Raiders, man. Ashton Jenny had one hell of a game last week. Best game of his, of his season so far. I know he's on my, he's on my fantasy.
Speaker: Yeah, 187 yards on the ground and ooh another fucking dime. Was that Judy? Oh, wow, Judy actually caught something. No, we got an injured Panther.
Speaker: Oh, we got a good one at 425 on Fox. We do. Buffalo and Philly. Yes. I know you're going with the Bills.
Speaker: Oh, of course.
Speaker: Man, i got I don't want to root for the Eagles. I don't want to root for the Eagles. I know. But I am not allowed to curse the Bills. I will not have the hat on today, so we should be okay. I started the game with the hat on.
Speaker: I'm not switching at halftime. They should be good right from the get-go. Nice. Well, just because we all know when I pick the Bills to win, they lose.
Speaker: I am. Picking the Eagles, but we all know that I want the Bills to smash the Eagles. Yeah. so i will pick a I will pick an off one so we're even on that one. Yeah. get a wash you You have the hat. I made the pick. Now the Bills should dominate. ah Josh Allen's playing hurt, though.
Speaker: Yeah, well. He's got hard split. Patriots in the end zone already. Hooper. hooper um The Bears and the Niners, another good one. This is the Sunday night game this one i this one is This one is a really difficult one to pick because Chicago's getting Ws.
Speaker: They're not good-looking Ws. They are not pretty in any sense of the word. It don't matter. It's dubs. But a W is a W. It's dubs. Ws still are shaped like a pretty W. Yeah. They are 11 and four
Speaker: and absolutely stand alone at the top of the NFC North. Which who would have said that two years ago? Nobody. we thought Caleb Williams was a giant bust.
Speaker: Biggest wasted pick in Chicago history for the last 20 years. they They have clinched their division already. Yep. So.
Speaker: which is wild because they're two and three and the Packers are 4-1 in the division. But the Packers are nine and five in the NFL. Yeah, they're 9-6. 9-6 because they lost last night. We're getting embarrassed last night. um Yeah, the Bears and the 49ers, and the 49ers are doing what the – the Browns had to settle for a field goal. They're on the board already against the Steelers.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm watching it right now. I'm going to – i'm gonna And the 49ers are the 49ers. But against the Steelers, points are points, by the way. You have to take them when you can get them. Yeah, exactly. Because they're stingy about giving them up.
Speaker: Exactly. um I think I'm going to go. Well, don't know. Is Kittle playing? Nobody of major note for the Bears on IR.
Speaker: Kittle is questionable. Ricky Parcells is questionable. Iuka's out. He's been out. Bosa's been out. So you got Kittle and Persail that are questionable for tonight's game.
Speaker: think I might have to go with the Bears on this one, bro. Christian's going to be out there doing what Christian does. You said Bears?
Speaker: Yep, I think I'm going to go with the Bears on this one. isn't This is a tough pick. I'm going to go with the Niners on this one.
Speaker: Oh, there we go. We went opposite there. Oh, well, one wolf action. um Where are they playing at?
Speaker: are they yeah um Yeah, I'm going Niners in that one. I'm going to give it to the home team. If it had been in Chicago, would changed my pick. And then tomorrow. They're in the end zone.
Speaker: Tomorrow, Monday night, the Rams of L.A. versus the Falcons of Atlanta. The Rams are blowing that game apart.
Speaker: The Rams could bench all their starters, and they will still they couldn't. They'd have to play their defense because otherwise B. John Robinson's going to put up 56 points on his own. That motherfucker, when he has a game where he's balling, he has a game where he is balling.
Speaker: Yes, this is this is this is true. Devontae Adams is doubtful. Jamar Chase just hit the end zone. And Drake London is questionable for the Rams. Yeah, or the Falcons.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm going Rams in that one all day. um Even with Bijan being Bijan, um I think the Rams will still fucking dominate. um Damn, man.
Speaker: There's no Thursday night game this week? No, because we got Saturday games next week for wild cards, don't we? No, next next week's week 18. We got one week left. Oh, yeah, we got one more week left.
Speaker: Yep, we got one week left, um and all the games are on Sunday next week. Do they have, like, every goddamn game next Sunday at 1 o'clock? No way.
Speaker: and have zones Red Zone's going to be handy for me. It's showing right now. I'm looking at the schedule for next week, and it's showing every single game at 1 o'clock next week. That's wrong.
Speaker: Yeah, that's weird. I don't think that's right. But any Hoosies. Annie Hoosiers. So that's it. And we got our picks in with a couple. ah We got three lone wolves in there to kind of shake things up and see what happens. I knew last night's game, the kinders Texas Bowl between LSU and Houston was going to come down to that fucking field goal.
Speaker: I fucking called it.
Speaker: are he I was watching the tech ah Houston LSU game last night and it was 31-28 when I turned it off Houston had just kicked a field goal and they ended up winning by a field goal it ended thirty eight thirty five I knew that field goal I knew it was going to come down to whoever had the ball last was going to be who fucking won that game oh shit
Speaker: Robinson is very hit or miss. Yeah, Robinson is 100% very much hit or miss. Yeah, he can have a 150-yard game, and then he can have a 30-yard game. Oh, damn. Yeah.
Speaker: Did they not have Aaron Rodgers in here?
Speaker: What?
Speaker: Aaron Rodgers is playing. i know he's playing unless he sat out to avoid letting fucking miles care break his sack record on him which he seems like the prima donna that would do that right
Speaker: so oh no he is playing okay he is out there i did and I guess I haven't paid much into me. ah Miles needs one sack to break the all-time single record season. Average time to throw this season for Aaron Rodgers. 2.62 seconds. Fourth fastest in the league.
Speaker: Oof. You know damn well they're going be chop blocking, triple, double teaming them, doing everything the Steelers do to screw, to cheat.
Speaker: Yep. They're double team. Double team.
Speaker: They're going to do everything they can to keep ah Miles Garrett from getting to Aaron Rodgers. Mm-hmm. College bowl season, man. You were just talking about that game last night.
Speaker: ah Next week, man. Next week, um Ohio State-Miami. Yep. In that bitter, or bitter rivalry. Yeah, I think Ohio State wins that game, no questions. Although I do got to say, it's going to be tricky because um Miami does have an experienced quarterback at the helm with Carson back.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. um I'm so tired of hearing about Miami and Ohio State who played each other like one fucking time. And there's the storied past and historic rival. Shut up. Not so much. No, it was one game and it was a joke of a fucking game that had so much goddamn controversy in it. It's not even worth talking about.
Speaker: Yep. um But we got working in Texas Tech. That should be a good one. That should be a really good one. i think I think this will prove whether Texas Tech is really fucking here.
Speaker: like If they're here, they'll they'll either run fucking Oregon and keep up with them or they'll just beat them. Got Georgia and Mississippi. I think Georgia will just run away with them. going take all Miss and beat them down.
Speaker: They already did once. um And then the game where the entire country for for the first time ever, well with with without with the exception of one state, will Indiana Hoosier fans. You're right. You're right.
Speaker: Indiana versus Alabama. Man, I'm proud to see Indiana just really... that'll sal up That's another team that you want to prove you're fucking here. You want to prove that you can compete with the big dogs and you got your chain didn't break on accident.
Speaker: Yeah. You come off that porch. Yes, you beat Ohio State. I'll give you that. But you didn't dominate Ohio State. You didn't run the field on Ohio State. and Again, you don't have a win is a win.
Speaker: I understand that. You want to prove, but if you want to prove... that you're worthy of being ranked where you are in college football. You have got to play the big dogs in the sport.
Speaker: And right now, historically, Alabama has been a big dog. yeah They are not a huge dog this season, but they are still a team that can beat you anytime they want.
Speaker: Exactly. And like I said, i don't care I don't care if they win by one point. Or if they win by 100 points, all Indiana has to do is win. Yes. All they have to do is win. not only not Is there any?
Speaker: Go ahead. I'm sorry. Not only two, like you said, solidify themselves as a contender, as a legit team. But just to beat Alabama. But also represent the Big Ten, man.
Speaker: Get out there and represent them. And they lost it. Jacksonville went for a fucking a pass and then a flip backwards and he fumbled the fucking ball and Indy recovered.
Speaker: Oh, Jesus. Brian Thomas Jr. did not hold on to that ball like he needed to. um Is there... a oh Oh, my God. Dude, Shadork Sanders just dropped a dime on Setty Tillman for... I've got to see this. I don't know how many yards that was.
Speaker: That was like 20, 30 yards, bro. Just a dime right into his hands. Wow.
Speaker: That was insanity. This kid is out here balling, man. We might wind up eating our words on everything we said about Shadork Sanders.
Speaker: He's already thrown in four completions, 73 yards. He's four and six right now for 73 yards. i did i don't I don't think I took him on yardage because he hasn't been producing a lot of yardage.
Speaker: Yeah. he's he he's If he keeps it up, he's going to over 100 in the first quarter. took him on rushing yards. I took him on more than 15 rushing yards because he does like to scramble.
Speaker: Yeah. He does like to scramble. He can move back there. But he... Man...
Speaker: I mean, he's dropped two nice fucking just dimes. And now we're going to go to the run game that can't do shit.
Speaker: And have to pump the ball away or kick a field goal.
Speaker: Well, yeah, you lost your star running back, bro. Yeah, i know. Yeah, that sucked. Especially when you watch because I'm a, you know, obviously being an Ohio State fan, I'm a Judkins fan too.
Speaker: I liked Junkin. I liked him when he was at Ohio State. I was very excited that Cleveland drafted him. It's crazy that we can hate each other's college teams so much, but as soon as they draft into the NFL, we're like, fuck yeah! I can't where he came from. yeah Like I said, there's players that I like in college football, man. and It doesn't matter where they go to school at. You've got to give credit where credit's due. It doesn't matter if they're at Ohio State or You know, if they're Michigan or or wherever, in my opinion.
Speaker: mean There's guys on the Steelers that I like watching. You know, Hayward's one of those guys. It's just a monster. i need this I need today to play out and cash out very well for me. Just so we're right. There's a reason.
Speaker: i currently... Let's see. only one and That one's going to suck. But in just a couple of bets... I potentially have $1,567 on the line. Wow, nice. And I'm only into it $30.
Speaker: hey What's the Bucs doing? I can't too much Red Zone. You should get Red Zone on the NFL app. You should get it on your fantasy sports app on your phone, too. I probably have Red Zone on my TV.
Speaker: No, Minty said that, and he should have it. You just log in with your TV provider. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: Baker Mayfield just dropped a dime in the end zone. but Drake Mays got him at the 19 and a half yard line right now. driving hard got Oh, my God. That's a touchdown for Fannin Jr. from Shadork Sanders.
Speaker: Another four. Did he get it? did he get it Yeah, he got it. He got it. Dude, he caught the ball on like the one-yard line and dropped, and nobody was around, and he just rolled in. But he dropped a fucking dime, dude.
Speaker: Like, it was a – Here's the pass right now. Boom. slow day yeah i mean Nobody touched him. So he's falling and rolling into the end zone. Oh, but he got hurt. most dude They just ran by him like, oh, shit, he actually caught that. Oh, he's in the end zone.
Speaker: Fuck, we're losing to Cleveland. And he's hurt. He was confused playing hurt.
Speaker: Yeah, i saw him holding his fucking arm down low. And but then he raised it, and I was like, okay. That was a 30-yard TD pass. That puts Shadork Sanders over 100 yards passing in the first row in the first quarter.
Speaker: I need him to run the ball 15 yards. That's all I fucking need. 100. He's 5 of 7 for 101 yards and a tutty
Speaker: in the first quarter. Aaron Rodgers hasn't even hit the field yet has he yeah they were one yeah they were on the field once I took him for over 197 yards I figure Aaron Rodgers can at least do 200 yards
Speaker: they didn't do shit last time they're running it they're not even he's he hasn't dropped back to pass yet they're just running Miles Garrett's going come through that fucking line and annihilate him yeah
Speaker: This Seattle-Carolina game is just a battle of punts. They have three data things so far. All three of them were rushes for the for the Steelers.
Speaker: Yep. Panning's coming off the field slowly, Glick. Not good. bueno, mi amigo. No fucking bueno. right, here goes Quinn Ewers from Miami.
Speaker: He's two of four for four fucking yards. Drops back. Throws the ball over the middle. 30 yard. And he's gone for six on his fifth pass of the game.
Speaker: Nice. Yep. He just hit ah Theo Weiss Jr. don't know who the fuck that is. 28 yard pass from Shadork Sanders to Errol Fannin Jr. Both of Cleveland's drives this game so far has ah ended with points.
Speaker: Ended with points, yeah. And Dude, less than 10 minutes, Shador Sanders already put up 100 passing yards. Good.
Speaker: I'm digging it. Quinn, yours just dropped that dime. Oh, man. Good pass of the game. That's wild.
Speaker: Jasper's watching the Cards Bengals, and the Bengals are up 7-0. If they lose, they have to move to Kentucky. Phillip Rivers throws across the middle. Oh, hit as he tried to catch it, Ball. we' can try to catch him We've been trying to them to Kentucky for years. They won't even take them.
Speaker: ah Kentucky's like, nah, we're good, bro. They need something. They're running out of bourbon money now because all bourbon sales are or all bourbon distributions on hold. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Speaker: Fucking Pittman Jr. or not Pittman Jr., Mallory hit as he caught the ball. Ball went up in the air. He landed on the ground and caught it again.
Speaker: I love that Phillip Rivers doesn't ever wear a Colts hat. He always has a hat on for the high school football team he coaches. Oh, really? He's got all Colts gear, but he's got his high school football team hat on every time.
Speaker: Oh, Sam Darnold just got dropped for like a 15-yard sack.
Speaker: Sam Donald. Sam fucking Donald. Yeah. But on the next play, breakout run, and he got the first down. Charbonnet. Can't ever count that fucking guy out of nothing.
Speaker: Jack Charbonnet. um may not grant this There is action all over in the football world right now. I got it on couple TVs here and watching and going. Man.
Speaker: Man. You know, there's so many other sports going on right now, like hockey's in play, basketball's in play. The Sabres, the Sabres, let's talk about a 10-game win streak for the Buffalo fucking Sabres. Oh, no. They have worked their way into the hunt for the playoff position.
Speaker: Well, let's not talk crazy. There's still a lot of hockey left to play. yeah um Hey, bud, they're one point out of being in the hunt for playoffs. I mean, there's a lot of hockey. A team that was projected to do nothing.
Speaker: There's a lot of hockey left to play. They're on a current eight-game win streak. Last night made it 10. ah Well, um I'm just looking here on the...
Speaker: Yahoo Sports app, looking at the standings. It says eight game win streak. Okay, maybe was eight then. My sister said ten. They're currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker: One game back on Florida. well Both of my teams are at the bottom of the barrel. Does that surprise you? ah No, I mean, yeah, well, yeah, for Pittsburgh, yeah.
Speaker: That means... But, like I said, there's a lot of hockey. I mean, they've only played 30 games. They're still at another 50-some-odd games. Well, I mean, Columbus is – they're not going to – no.
Speaker: You might as well write this season off for them. No, the Jackets Yeah, they're they're not. No. They basically have to win out. Yeah.
Speaker: Which, I mean – I don't see that happening. Columbus has been Columbus for for a minute now. They –
Speaker: Bengals in the red zone. Joey B to the outside, caught at the seven, out of bounds. Dog pound defense, 164 passing yards allowed, fewest in the NFL, 278.8 second in the NFL on rushing yards, and I didn't get the last stat.
Speaker: Come on, you pussies, throw the ball, Pittsburgh. Rodgers is dropping back.
Speaker: Oh, man. um man Hockey is basketball owner is is is in play, but nobody cares, man, because college football is in the playoffs. And NFL football is right on the cusp.
Speaker: And NFL is right there. It's a tight race in a lot of divisions in the NFL right now. Well, it was. this This weekend kind of hashed most of it out. The only two teams, the only division left undecided is the AFC North.
Speaker: Yeah, which if Pittsburgh wins today... um They knock Baltimore out and lock it down. Yeah, Pittsburgh will win. But let's be real. That's not looking very promising right now.
Speaker: Not right now. But, I mean, it's only the first quarter. Wait until Cleveland gets to, you know, after halftime and decides to give up 75 points to Pittsburgh. ah Yeah, Houston and Jacksonville are locked in. Houston locked in winning yesterday.
Speaker: Oh, fucking offsides. new genz zone of correction My division's undecided so as of right now. What division? AFC South.
Speaker: They're locked in, though, I'm saying. They locked the playoffs. The thing undecided is who's going to win it. Denver's locked in the West. but Chargers and Denver clinched the playoffs.
Speaker: Buffalo and New England have clinched the playoffs. ah The division's not decided yet. Philadelphia clinched their division. No, if by some fluke chance, the Jets or Miami can beat New England and Buffalo could win today and next weekend, Buffalo win that division.
Speaker: The NFC West is undecided, but Seattle, San Francisco, and the Rams have all locked into the playoffs. Well, Seattle right now is not looking very good at all. Let's be real. Yeah.
Speaker: The NFC North, the Bears have locked it in. The Packers have also made the playoffs. And the NFC South is still undefeated. That's going to – oh, he almost got him. That's going to come down to next week's game between Tampa and Carolina. Whoever wins that game wins the division.
Speaker: ah jets Brady Cook just got intercepted. oh Yeah, I mean, pretty much locked everybody's locked in that's going to make the playoffs so far, but there's still some divisions that needed to be decided.
Speaker: And get off the field, Pittsburgh. Oh, do they punt? No, they just – it's fourth down. They're going to punt. But Miles got a hand on Aaron Rodgers. He got a hand. He's scared now.
Speaker: Like, Rodgers is like, shit, it just threw the ball. Aaron Rodgers is terrified now.
Speaker: Terrified. Petrified. Mortified. Yeah.
Speaker: Well, put a butcher put your info up about the Mammoth, Minty. That's not a team that either of us follows. So Tennessee just dropped a fucking dime piece down to the 20-yard line. 38-yard dime piece.
Speaker: The Mammoth should be doing... is that, Utah? Yep. They should be doing really well, considering... um
Speaker: I'm pulling it up right now. They are a third spot in the wild card. They're just outside of the wild card. Right now. Yep, they're sitting just on the edge.
Speaker: Just a little outside. It's hard to believe they've already played fucking 70 games. Who?
Speaker: Or, I'm sorry, 40 games. Hockey. i was going to say, yeah. they were I was looking at two different numbers here. They had me all fucked up. wow It's hard to believe they've already played 40 games this season. Yeah, was right by 10. Yeah, I'm watching it. I can't believe I got it on.
Speaker: Yeah, the Mammoth are just outside 18-18. They're a 500 team. What's the fucking flag on? That gave them fucking 16 yards. Actually, the Mammoth are tied for the last wild card spot with the San Jose Sharks.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: So.
Speaker: Yeah, well, they should be holding it because the crazy thing about hockey with an expansion team, you get to pick of all the other teams. you could The teams can set two or three players off that you can't touch, but outside of that, you build your roster with some of the best players in the NHL.
Speaker: Yeah. But keep in mind, That only lasts for two seasons. And then... That's why the the Vegas biggest Golden Showers were so we so good in the beginning. showers The Titans are up 6-0 right now.
Speaker: yeah And the Bengals just went in the end zone again. The San Jose Sharks man. Wally's a Sharks fan. Always has been. i don't He's the only San Jose Sharks fan I've ever met in my life.
Speaker: yes Most people don't even know that San Jose has a team. Yeah. Well, while he's been a Sharks fan since lay wo since we were in school together. He showed up wearing a Sharks jersey. he was just like, what the fuck?
Speaker: And most people don't even know that San Jose has a team. Yeah.
Speaker: And we've been around a long fucking time, too. A very, very, very... On a breakout run by Pittsburgh. Yeah. Out of bounds. That was a good run. That was like 30 yards.
Speaker: that was ah That was a really good run. Fucking Cam Hayward, man.
Speaker: Got to watch that son of a bitch. a The Colts are number one in red zone scoring right now, and they're in the red zone. There goes to JT, and he's in the end zone. Been a fan since the fourth grade, Wally.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: All right, so here's here's some questions for you. I know we're sports and all that, but um what's the New Year's Eve at? Where's the what?

Speaker: going to see if I can go for I'm going to start building a dynasty, Rick. I've got one championship under my belt. Can I go for one? Just remember, after three, all your players get hurt and retire.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. You don't get to... Right after, hold on, let's address this. This is the biggest news of the whole fucking Kansas City Chiefs debacle. They just signed a contract to build them a new dome stadium across the river.
Speaker: Oh, shit. Yeah, and now this. and now they're Literally, like, two months ago, it was agreed upon that they're moving across the river and they're getting a dome and now this.
Speaker: ah Well, and you know Mahomos when he comes back will not play to the caliber he did prior. No, he's already out of doubt.
Speaker: Last season, I don't think he was as good as he has been. And then this season, he definitely was not. It's three-yard touchdown. I don't know who.
Speaker: Who? Who has 63 touchdown? What game? What game? What team? what game and taking You got to give a team at least. but I was figuring out what player it was. i' must team Maybe. Yeah, it hasn't popped up on my red zone yet.
Speaker: long That's just a stat for the day. All I got was the drop down. Oh, okay. I was like, wait a fucking minute. That was just a stat for the day. Okay. Yeah, exactly. I think the 63-yarder was Quinn Ewers.
Speaker: But... From Miami. Miami. Miami. So, yeah, no. um so this Kobe Brissett hitting a deep drop.
Speaker: did he hear Did he step out of bounds? He didn't you didn't step out of bounds. Cardinals on the fucking board. Nice. This week. wes touch It's Michael Wilson for what looks like it might, that might be the 63 yarder. He was just talking about.
Speaker: Damn. Let's see. The place started at the 40. forty So no, it wouldn't be 63 there.
Speaker: You put the entire network on your list. Wally. It's not a brand bitch. It's not a bad idea with the way the track. I mean, we started out with, uh, with six ah and We dropped three this year. It's not a bad idea to throw people. but They're not dead.
Speaker: They're just not on the network anymore. but They're names we no longer speak of. Yeah, they're just no longer around. Yeah, this week will be kind of a weird week. One of them might be dead to us, though.
Speaker: Yeah, this this this week will be a weird week on the on the network. um Wally will be live tomorrow night. He's got a guest. His buddy dusty Dusty Henny, right, Wally? Did I say that right? And then Tuesday, I'm going to try to do something Tuesday.
Speaker: And then Wednesday, we'll be doing live from the comedy show. He's running all over the Jets, bro. All over the Jets. and I don't know if there'll be anything another fucking dime for like 12 shit yards.
Speaker: And Judy's catching everything today. Wow. ah Thursday, Wally will be back. I don't know what's going on Friday. Then there won't be anything next weekend, Saturday or Sunday. So we won't be here next weekend. So we'll get our we'll get our picks in.
Speaker: You'll have to send me something. Minty just told me something neat that I can do. Hold on. we're ten We're trying something here. Apparently, with YouTube TV, I can create a quad box and put all the important games on there.
Speaker: And put the not important game on my little TV. So. Huh. We're currently going to figure this one out.
Speaker: Actually, I just, this just dawned on me. I don't know why we didn't do it beforehand. Because we won't be here next Sunday. So let's go ahead and throw our picks in for the last week of the of the season.
Speaker: Before we get out of here today. Okay. Okay. um
Speaker: Watching multi-view. Build a multi-view. Seahawks.
Speaker: Damn. Another. Wow. This kid is on fire and Judy is catching everything today.
Speaker: I can't build the one that I want, Minty. I can only build two games in the multi-view right now because they only show two games on Hey, you're welcome to, Wally, if you want.
Speaker: Way to start playing ball, Jerry Judy, in the last second to last week of the season, you jackass.
Speaker: I can only watch two games right now. Hmm.
Speaker: I built a multi-view. I've got the Seahawks to the Dolphins game on my TV right now.
Speaker: This is kind of cool. I've never done anything like this.
Speaker: What I can't get is the Browns game.
Speaker: wow So yeah, know was that we they're gonna sacking out um so yeah let's go ahead and make our week 18 picks.
Speaker: ah We don't have to worry about it. And that's already out of the way. And then when we come back, ah we could talk playoffs so we can run down our playoffs. We got the Browns and the Bengals.
Speaker: week eighteen we got the browns and the bengal
Speaker: You already know where I'm going. Brownies. I'm going with the Browns on this one also. Miami's up 10-7. The shitbirds of Baltimore versus the Squealers.
Speaker: I'm going to go with the Steelers on that one. Yeah, I'm going the Steelers on this one as well. That's what's going to happen. The Steelers are going to lose today and it's going to come down to those two playing each other for that fucking that division.
Speaker: ah The Saints and the Falcons.
Speaker: I'm going Falcons in that one.
Speaker: Falcons, yes. Yeah, it don't matter. They both suck. Yeah, it's true. Neither one of them is making a playoff. ah The Jets and the Bills.
Speaker: The Bills. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead in week 18. I'm going to go with the Bills. and I'll let you do it. Do it. Because it's the Jets. They lock into the playoffs. where They lock into the playoffs. And your guys' is kryptonite is not in the playoffs this year.
Speaker: They'll be in Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, but our big struggle is this fucking run game, dude. How did he stay on his feet? Titans in the end zone, baby. Titan up.
Speaker: Lions. Woken, Woken, Woken. Woken, Woken. Yeah, the fucking Hawaiian dude or ja Japanese dude. I think he's Hawaiian because I don't know any black Japanese people. what And he's definitely black. you serious right now? It's fourth and seven and they're going for it. Why? Why?
Speaker: Because fucking Stefanski's a dildo. With 10 minutes left in the fort in the second quarter, that's fucking... i didn't you ah Not even close. God, I hope they fire Stefanski at the end of the season. Even if they win today, Stefanski needs to go.
Speaker: He's a jackass. You know what you can do is pick up Brian Dayball. He's sitting on the couch at home doing nothing. yeah right coach for He was a coach for the Giants for a little while. yeah Bears and the Lions.
Speaker: Uh...
Speaker: Bears. Hold on one second.
Speaker: Coach D-Ball. There's probably a very good reason why he's sitting at home on the couch not doing anything.
Speaker: Speaking of new coaches, um Michigan got their new guy out of Utah, and I don't know a whole lot about him, but he seemed to have ah a pretty good career.
Speaker: out there in Utah, and everybody seems pretty excited for it. So we'll see how that goes over the next couple seasons. They signed him to a five-year deal. What's his name? Wittenham? Wittenham?
Speaker: So, hey, out with the old, in with the new, I guess. Do what now? I missed something. I was on the phone. was just saying Michigan got their new coach out of Utah, Whittingham. Yeah, I saw that Whittingham.
Speaker: um I was just filler bustering while you were on the phone. My bad. No, you're good. ah The Chargers and the Broncos. um Man, the Chargers struggled yesterday. I might go, oh, there goes Trevor Lawrence scrambling. Is he going to?
Speaker: He's in for a tutty. I'm going with the Broncos in that one. Yep. I'm going to go with the Broncos on that one also. They look pretty good. They've been looking good all season, man.
Speaker: They're definitely a scary team to have to play in the playoffs. The Chiefs and the Raiders.
Speaker: o
Speaker: I'm going to take the Raiders on this one. The Chiefs just placed a lot of people on IR. Yeah, they did. yeah Like a lot. So I'm going to go with the Raiders. I'm going to hope they can do something magical. So I'm going to go with a the Kansas City Swifties. i'm not Wouldn't that be that be the ultimate kick right in the penis?
Speaker: Your last game of the season and you lose to the fucking Raiders? The fucking Raiders. and I'm going to Raiders. um The Packers and the Vikings. Packers.
Speaker: Neither team looks that great. Jordan Love should be back. um The Vikings are on the struggle bus right now. I'm going to go with the Vikings who just had a big fucking win on Christmas over the Lions.
Speaker: They smacked the shit out of Detroit. Yeah, but they're so hit or miss right now, dude. I know they are. They really are. But I'm going with the Vikings in that one. Okay. We'll mix it up. Get that loom affection in there. the commander or no i'm sorry The Cowboys versus the Giants.
Speaker: Cowboys. Yeah, Cowboys on that one.
Speaker: Commanders versus the Eagles. The Redskins versus the Eagles. Eagles. I'm going to go with the the Redskins in this one. Simply based on the fact that it's the last game of the season, the Eagles are locked in, they're probably going to set a lot of people.
Speaker: And the Commanders are going to be playing everybody. um The Seahawks and the 49ers. Another good game, but I think the Niners are going win that one. This is going to be another one. Watching the Seahawks struggle right now against Carolina?
Speaker: I think the Niners win that one. Oh, yeah. Niners all day. This is going to be another one. That's going to be another game that decides the division, I think, because that division is still up in the air for that conference. And then a division-deciding game.
Speaker: The Panthers, who just beat the Buccaneers, play to end the season. Yeah, they had to play them weird back-to-back. um Yeah. Super awkward the way that schedule laid out.
Speaker: Mm-hmm. But I'm going to Buccaneers. to say they clinch. I'm going to say they ah they they get this we get this win, and they win the division for, what, the fifth or sixth year in a row?
Speaker: I think, ah man, Panthers are playing so good, though. They are, too. but And Buccaneers are currently losing to Miami. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: Man, I'm going to go Buccaneers on that, but that's a hesitant Buccaneers play. Miami just intercepted Tampa.
Speaker: ah
Speaker: The Jaguars versus the Titans.
Speaker: Jags. They figured out how to play football all of a sudden. Yep, I'm going Jags. They are they're looking really good all season. And it's the Titans, so i think they're going to just roll right through. And lastly, the Colts versus the Texans.
Speaker: Oh, man. The
Speaker: Colts are still playing to make the playoffs, so yeah they if they win today, it's still in it. They are... They are just outside of the wild card right now.
Speaker: The Colts. But the Chargers lost yesterday, so if the Colts win today.
Speaker: I don't think it's going to matter because the Chargers are 11-5 and the Colts are 8-7. So
Speaker: so basically right now your're your AFC playoff leaders are Denver, New England, Jacksonville, and Pittsburgh. And your wild card teams are Buffalo, Houston, and the Chargers.
Speaker: And Buffalo, Houston, and L.A. are all 11 win games or teams. And Indianapolis is sitting at 8-7. So I don't know if they have ah have a chance.
Speaker: well I think Indy's still going to pull it off because Houston clinched. They're going to sit their starters. Indy's going to play Phillip Rivers and try and give him one more bang. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: I'm to go with the Texans in that one, even with everybody sitting. i just The Colts, man, they really they started out so good, and then they just kind of fell off. Yeah, but they're playing decent right this minute. and actually actually, i the Vikings and the NFC, the Vikings and the Lions, I don't think they're out of it.
Speaker: Because they're both sitting at 8-8, and Green Bay is the last wild card team sitting at nine and six So you think of the if the Vikings or the Lions win and Green Bay loses their next game, the one of them's in?
Speaker: and Maybe. And especially Minnesota's got to play Green Bay. o
Speaker: And they already smashed. Like I said, they smashed the shit out of Detroit this week. So you're saying it's going to be a win-and-you're-in type of deal? It could be. I'm not saying much of anything.
Speaker: I'm just saying.
Speaker: Well, I'm still going to go with the Colts over the Texans. Yeah, I got that. I got i got i got i got Texans in that one. i wouldn't I would like to see Old Man Rivers get a dub, but
Speaker: they just kind of faded. But let's get ready and get the get the flock out of here. uh, score rundown. Cleveland has the ball currently. Uh, they are leading 10, three, in the second quarter.
Speaker: Uh, the Bengals of Kentucky are leading Arizona 13 to seven. rights You're up 21 to three over the jets. Yeah. The, uh, Titans are up 13, nothing over new Orleans.
Speaker: Yep. They're up 10, seven over Jacksonville. Miami's up 10, seven on Tampa. You said the, uh, Patriots over the New Jersey Jets, 21-3. And Seattle is up 3-0 over Carolina.
Speaker: That's an ugly game.
