Wheezy out. Welcome

0:14

to the Friday Fun Show working

0:18

title Dan Hands

0:20

Us with Mark Sessler and Greg Rosenthal

0:24

from across the south Land, across America

0:27

all the way to the Jersey Shore. Welcome

0:29

to our live stream

0:32

episode of the week. As we get ready for

0:34

Week seven, we see the message

0:37

board the commenters already

0:39

firing off, getting pumped up UM,

0:42

and we will be reaching out and connecting

0:44

with the listeners early on. Mark, I

0:47

know this is your favorite show of the week for

0:49

so many reasons, including this week.

0:51

It's about me, will be about you, and

0:54

it is about you, and you love that I

0:56

do. I like the Spotlight UM focus

0:58

directly on me at all times for

1:01

both positive and negative news. And

1:03

I didn't know that this was a thing that Mark pretended

1:06

that he didn't like the Spotlight. This is like a new

1:09

two trend. I don't understand. I feel

1:11

like this has been an important week. Mark has

1:13

often come at you and me Greg

1:15

for saying we we seek contention

1:18

in the Spotlight. But Mark has always been one of

1:20

us. And now the monster within is

1:22

coming above the surface of the water. Well, this is it's

1:24

an absurd way to get into the show here. I

1:27

have a question for you, damn, because I'm tracking this heavily.

1:29

What did your mother make you for breakfast? Week? We got

1:31

yesterday's eggs with um onion

1:33

and pap rica. I think you said, like, what

1:36

what happened today? We have so much to get to, including

1:38

a blockbuster trade, but this is important as

1:40

well. Yesterday yes eggs,

1:43

onions and eggs with some paprika. Today

1:45

we're down at the Jersey Shore. I went to

1:48

the local coffee shop. I love Turnstile.

1:50

I got a nice latte, I got an

1:52

Alman croissant, and I watched the Thursday

1:54

night football game. I was tied

1:57

up with the Yankees failing in Houston

1:59

last night's I got caught up prep

2:01

for this show. And this is where we are very

2:03

excited to get into today's show, boys,

2:06

because we've got so much going on. We have the Thursday

2:08

night football recap between the Cards and the Saints.

2:10

We have Rachel Banetta joining us in just

2:12

a little bit, one of our favorites. We have

2:14

It's About Me with Mark Sessler. We have

2:17

an injury update ahead of Sunday's games,

2:20

and some fearless predictions. But first, yes,

2:22

the huge blockbuster trade that went

2:24

down late at

2:26

the end of Thursday Night football kind of came out.

2:28

The San Francisco forty nine are sending second,

2:31

third, and fourth round picks and

2:34

a fifth round pick in to

2:36

the Panthers UM

2:39

four star running back Christian McCaffrey.

2:41

Adam Schefter broke it. It's official.

2:44

It's a done deal. So McCaffrey, the

2:46

former Offensive Player of the Year, the former one

2:48

thousand receiving one thousand rushing

2:52

running back, now joins the San Francisco

2:54

offense that obviously got

2:56

a lot more dynamic with a big

2:58

trade. Here is GM of the

3:00

Panthers, Scott Fitterer, when asked

3:03

by well, actually it's hold on Scott talking

3:05

about what's going on with the Panthers. Let's

3:07

focus starting Greg with the forty Niners,

3:10

a team that we were just talking about on Thursday

3:12

show. Is this offense explosive

3:14

enough? There's Jimmy g put a cap on what they can

3:16

do. Well, you had a guy like McCaffrey

3:19

just got a lot more feisty. Yeah. I mean,

3:21

it's a it's an all in move, and I

3:23

think it's interesting in this season in

3:26

context of the Rams and

3:28

how well Jimmy Garoppolo and there passing

3:30

attack has been in the past, we always think

3:32

like, oh, the running games kind of carrying the forty Niners

3:35

opens Jimmy G's along for the ride. This year

3:37

their seventh and passing d v O A and they're always

3:39

solid, they're always efficient there twenty six

3:41

and running they haven't been able to get the running game

3:43

going, like Shanahan's lost his magic

3:45

a little bit because of all the injuries and personnel

3:48

and offensive line, and McCaffrey

3:50

fixes all that, and I think they look at this

3:52

offense, and they look at this defense

3:55

if they can get healthy, and they say, like, we're

3:57

one of the Super Bowl contenders this year.

3:59

And I think they look at it in the context

4:01

of the Rams, the moves that the Rams

4:03

have made to try to push them over the top.

4:05

And they got their Super Bowl a year ago. And who

4:08

was the other team in the mix.

4:10

According to our friend Jordan Rodrig of

4:12

the Athletic Pushing Hard for

4:15

Christian McCaffrey, it was the Los

4:17

Angeles Rams, and I think

4:19

that's why they had to pay so

4:21

much. Scott Fitter You'll you'll get to it

4:24

mentioned he thought this was equivalent

4:26

of a first round pick getting a second and

4:28

what was it, two thirds and fourth?

4:31

Ultimately that a second, third

4:33

and the fourth. He's right, that is equivalent to a first

4:35

round pick. They got a totally fair

4:37

value, a nice value for McCaffrey.

4:39

It's a big risk for the forty Niners, but no one's

4:41

gonna care if they make the super Bowl.

4:44

And that's kind of the bar now. If they don't make the super

4:46

Bowl, this was not in the next two years

4:48

or win the super Bowl, this is gonna be a bust.

4:50

I mean, I think if you if you look at what the Niners

4:52

have done over the last couple of seasons, the move

4:55

for Trey lance Um and it's not worked

4:57

out to date, but had it um the

4:59

way. The reason they did it was they viewed themselves back

5:01

then as a player away from

5:03

being Super Bowl gold. I mean, they got to the super

5:06

Bowl with Jimmy G. But it's like a true quarterback

5:08

would take us over the top. All right, they're gonna sit with Jimmy

5:10

G. But again they say, in this environment

5:12

in the NFC that we're in right now, where again we've

5:15

talked about this all day yesterday on our preview show. It's

5:17

such a water down league. Right now, there's

5:19

really very few dominant teams out there,

5:21

and the Niners probably look at Chris McCaffrey

5:23

and say, once again, he's the guy that can put

5:26

us over the top, especially when you think about how

5:28

do you attack the teams we're gonna face

5:30

in January the Eagles, a team like the Eagles

5:32

that's stacked on defense. Christian McCaffrey is

5:34

the guy that can change all that. And we always

5:36

praise you know, Belichick's Patriots and days

5:38

of old for having such versatile players.

5:40

I mean, if you think about McCaffrey and Deebo

5:42

Samuel, I think they look at the two of them and say,

5:44

there's no combination of players

5:47

who can do slot, wide, receiver,

5:49

running back. They can do it all. Like those

5:51

guys you're throwing Brandon you, Kyle Hues

5:53

checked, George Kittle, And if if Jimmy g

5:56

keeps the mistakes down and you have a top three defense

5:58

that gets healthier and the line gets healthier,

6:00

the Niners have a right to view themselves

6:02

as the team to beat in the NFC because the Rams

6:04

have fallen off a cliff and it really comes down

6:06

to the Philadelphia Eagles. I think, well, it's it's

6:09

a double it hits double hard for

6:11

the Niners and their fans in terms of celebration

6:14

because you you're in love with the upside of

6:16

this trade and you stick it to the Rams,

6:18

who I think we're getting into this place where

6:20

we are in the football world now where they're

6:23

just you're gonna assume they're always gonna be the team that pulls

6:25

off the big deal. So you finally got a

6:27

guy that the Rams wanted. And

6:30

yeah, deebot deebo i, you kittle

6:33

CMC, that's

6:35

a great recipe for Kyle Shanahan

6:38

to give us go full Shannahan. Who

6:40

was it that rush for two d yards and four touchdowns

6:43

against the Packers in the NFC title game a

6:45

couple of years back? Was that most dit

6:49

that? I mean, you now have the

6:51

type of running backing McCaffrey who

6:53

could deliver a game like that if the if the

6:55

things are at the stars are aligned, and

6:58

and you put the San Francisco off in in

7:00

a place where, yes, there's still not going to be a deep

7:02

strike, big play attack

7:04

in a traditional sense because Jimmy

7:06

g puts a cap on that somewhat. But if

7:08

you trust Shanahan's ability to call plays

7:10

and and get the most out of

7:13

a running back like CMC. This is exciting.

7:15

Now. The reason why they had to give up so much

7:18

UH in terms of draft capital is

7:20

you are trading a for

7:22

the idea of CMC from a couple of

7:24

years ago. UH. And also the

7:26

idea this is not a rental. He's he's doing an

7:28

outrageous amount of money next year that

7:31

you would think there might be a restructure to

7:33

make it all work for San Francisco's books.

7:35

But I don't think they do this trade unless there's an understanding.

7:38

And I know the McCaffrey's and the Shanahan's

7:40

go way back, so all of this makes sense. However,

7:43

and it's a big However, McCaffrey

7:47

can't stay healthy and the San Francisco

7:49

forty Niners are a snake bitten team with health.

7:51

Now, I don't think it makes him more risky at

7:53

risk for injury because now he's a forty

7:56

Niner. That would be stupid. But at the same time,

7:58

we need to see McCay affrey

8:01

in this offense and stay healthy

8:03

because if he gets hurt, they're kind of right back

8:05

to where they started. The one thing. I'd say though, I think one of the

8:07

reasons the Rams were very into

8:09

McCaffrey beyond just the idea of what

8:11

he could do for their offense and would fill a void for them,

8:14

they just played him and they just saw him, and he

8:16

looks like the old McCaffrey. I mean, I think he's he's

8:18

also been healthy this season, he's been

8:20

great, and so that's where that bidding war came from.

8:22

I think on one level was like they saw him

8:24

up close and personal and thought this guy could

8:26

change our offense. So it is a huge win for

8:28

the Niners on that front. And I would just say the

8:30

only thing is like they've you know, Shannahan's

8:33

never had a thousand yard Russia in this Niners

8:35

offense, which is kind of crazy because he's probably

8:37

you know, it's always been a committee and these guys are getting hurt

8:39

left and right. Um. The only thing about

8:41

it like that I kind of view is a bit

8:43

excessive, is that I don't know if Shanahan

8:46

in most of his years needed McCaffrey

8:49

to have a great running game, he hasn't. He's he's

8:51

turned Jeff Wilson into that guy. So I mean,

8:53

it's a bit of a luxury. But I love the idea

8:56

of like, if you're gonna go for it, if this

8:58

is your window, you're not gonna have Jimmy g next year.

9:00

You don't know what trade lance is, do it now?

9:02

I like that. I like the risk taking, daring,

9:05

dew element of the whole thing. I'm

9:07

with you on that too, Mark. I think it's a big swing

9:09

for the fences by the Niners. Love the trade on the

9:11

on the Carolina side of things, Greggy,

9:14

I know you loved her nerd out on this stuff. It's

9:17

interesting to me how

9:19

we've talked about how the

9:21

Panthers have tried and tried and tried

9:24

to make a big splash in recent

9:27

years and the fates have just not aligned.

9:29

And I thought this is interesting, even this trade

9:32

where they had this guy that was a generational

9:34

talent at running back when healthy

9:36

uh and a market with two Super Bowl contenders

9:39

and the two teams at the forefront were

9:41

missing the one thing that the Panthers

9:43

really wanted. Here's GM Scott Fitter

9:45

talking about the trade market and clearly

9:48

referring to the Forts, yes,

9:50

but also the Rams. But we talked to the teams, um,

9:53

you know, a couple of teams didn't have first round picks.

9:56

You know that we thought, you know, in

9:58

that area was probably the right area for Christian

10:00

with regarding everything. Um,

10:04

so they complicated that there wasn't a first

10:06

round pick to be had, So we had to figure out what's the

10:08

equivalent of a first round pick? If that's

10:10

the case, just Greg, kind of a

10:12

bummer for the Panthers. That, yes, the Rams traded

10:15

their first round pick, as they always do,

10:17

so it wasn't there in trade lance that trade,

10:19

let you know, first round pick for a San Francisco

10:23

It is a bummer. Yet, I if I'm a Panthers

10:25

fan, I'm pretty happy about this trade. I'm not happy

10:27

where the franchise is, and I'm not happy

10:30

that Christian McCaffrey thing hasn't worked

10:32

out. But to get off this contract

10:35

and get three mid round

10:37

picks and then another fifth feels

10:39

good like he's done before the season.

10:41

Greggy, If if you would have told Panther Spans

10:43

you're gonna trade McCaffrey a

10:45

week and a half before the deadline and you won't get a first

10:48

round pick, they would they would not be happy with

10:50

that. Well, that that's that's totally fair because it

10:52

would indicate that their season has gone totally

10:54

haywire wire. But I think the trade compensation,

10:58

just in a vacuum, was pretty

11:00

good for a running back. If anything, it makes the crazy

11:02

contract that they gave Christian McCaffrey,

11:05

which people were like, don't pay running backs

11:07

like that, feel a little better because you got all

11:09

these picks back. I mean, ultimately you did

11:11

get something out of him. And one

11:13

thing I do want to say, just on the financial side, people

11:15

have kind of looked at it like, oh, McCaffrey's worth

11:17

so much, and Warren Sharp sent out a tweet that

11:20

had all the cap numbers wrong because

11:22

he put like the signing bonus into

11:24

the cap numbers, and the Panthers already paid that signing

11:26

bonus. They're just eating that dead cap. He's under

11:28

contract pretty cheaply, I think, fairly

11:31

for the next three years at eleven, twelve and

11:33

twelve million dollar cap number. I don't think

11:35

they have to change his contract

11:37

at all. He's still one of the higher paid running

11:39

backs in the league. But it's not outrageous. I don't

11:42

think for a guy like McCaffrey, and they got these

11:44

yak bros. And I include McCaffrey

11:46

in that mix together for a while, so

11:49

it's not just a one year move. I

11:51

think they should have Debo i U who's

11:53

on his rookie deal, Kittle who's under contract,

11:55

that that should be the pass catching

11:58

I'm gonna run for fifty yards when Jimmy g

12:00

drops it off five yards core for

12:02

a little while, which is nice. I would also

12:04

say, I mean they they You can say you

12:06

want multiple first round picks. I want to lie

12:08

they were never get that. I don't get everything I

12:10

want and neither where the Panthers gonna get everything

12:13

they wanted here? That was pie in the sky to

12:15

trade him now when there's just this distinct

12:18

need, um with a couple of teams that thought

12:20

he is the final piece. They got more than they

12:22

would have gotten trying to trade him in the off season. I

12:24

just believe that I think it would have been. This is about as

12:26

much as they could have asked for. They're in a tough position.

12:29

Um. Also, I think part of it is where are you going to be with

12:31

Christian McCaffrey next season At this time or

12:33

the year after. They were a rebuilding team

12:36

that has no idea who their quarterback is Christian

12:38

McCaffrey does not fit into that offense right now.

12:41

All right, let's check in with the

12:43

listeners streaming live on the Friday Fun

12:45

Show. Working title about this

12:47

big trade. Uh, let's check what do

12:50

you got where his grave? Digger? Grave digger? Huh?

12:53

Whoa got

12:59

it? Hey? Has it? On the soap

13:01

Bottles wants to know will the Panthers

13:03

go scorched earth? Scorched earth and

13:05

trade? Everything not nailed down now?

13:07

Well, Fitterer was asked about that and

13:10

he said, this is not a rebuild. We're trying

13:12

to win, but get out of here with that.

13:14

Sometimes you just wish that there would be just honesty

13:17

from the GM. That's like, listen, our

13:19

plan it has not worked out. We're we're

13:21

trying to get this thing right, and we didn't

13:23

want to trade CMC. He's a foundational

13:26

piece, so we thought he was. But we got to

13:28

take a different approach here and uh, yeah, we're

13:30

building for tomorrow. Just say that. Why

13:32

not? It depends on the players.

13:34

You know, I think they're putting DJ Moore, for

13:37

instance, in a different bucket that like, we still

13:39

need to keep young um

13:41

players that we have under contract that are

13:43

good. They might not want to trade him. If someone

13:45

comes in over the top rope for Brian Burns

13:48

and offers a first and to me, he would

13:50

probably have more value than Christian McCaffrey.

13:53

I would think they would have to listen to that. But I think

13:55

they'll they'll play a little harder to get

13:57

with the rest of their roster. They've they

13:59

have already picked up what four or five

14:01

picks here between him and Robby Anderson?

14:04

This is not bad? Yeah? What else we got? Great?

14:06

Bigger? All right, I'm gonna throw two at you that

14:08

are related. The first one Eric

14:10

Boogie will see MC start

14:12

and get a majority of the touches for San Francisco at running

14:14

back this week. Only

14:17

one man has that answer. It's Mark Sessler. What's

14:19

part two? I have both debot

14:21

and CMC, but as Niners on my team

14:23

now doing trade one or keep both? See?

14:25

I also have Christian McCaffrey in the fantasy league.

14:27

What the heck should I do this week? Stack? Yeah,

14:31

I think we're going to see him this weekend. I don't. I don't

14:33

think that it's not you know, you're not asking to come in

14:35

and play quarterback in a scheme. He's never heard about. I

14:37

mean, this is a running back. I think they've already talked about

14:40

red zone kind of thing. This was my lock. The chiefs

14:42

um, I am reserving the right to rethink

14:45

that, uh, that lock because it's you

14:47

know, the elements have changed, the weather has

14:49

changed. That's good because they

14:51

said red zone. But I bet it's one of those things

14:54

that he gets into the game a little bit and then

14:56

they feel like they can't resist just

14:58

playing him more and more. He definitely and set him

15:00

in fantasy. By the way, Graver like, even

15:02

if he only played snaps, I

15:04

feel like, you gotta play Christian McCaffrey unless

15:07

I can't now because I would have put DeAndre Hopkins

15:09

in. But I'm gonna I'm gonna highlight this one.

15:11

Aaron Castillo sharp as attack. I

15:14

think Dan essentially acted as Fitterer's

15:16

puppet by stating exactly what Fitterer

15:18

would say for him without him

15:21

having to do it. He got me, fitter

15:23

got me, But you've put his hand

15:25

right up me and turn me into a puppet. Oh

15:28

my goodness,

15:30

sorry, probably

15:32

not long for that job. I suspect

15:34

he's which is a weird thing. He's making these

15:37

trades and I kind of don't expect him to know that's

15:39

a good point. And I did cross my mind as well this

15:41

morning, Greggy, like, you always run

15:43

the risk of holding onto a guy too

15:45

long, especially somebody like CMC

15:48

struggled and say healthy, but maybe

15:50

that's a piece that the next guy gets. But

15:52

I mean, there's just so much stuff going on with this organization.

15:55

Aaron Jaffey is CMC to the Niners the biggest

15:57

running back trade of the decade?

16:00

Uh? Well, I

16:03

would say Trent Richardson got a first that

16:06

was bigger. Actually, I mean, he wasn't a bigger

16:09

star, but it was. It was more surprising

16:12

and he got more um. Of course, there was

16:14

the herschel Walker trade. Herschel Walker

16:16

famous now for other reasons, but he used

16:18

to be famous for setting up that Cowboys

16:21

dynasty. I don't think this is going He's

16:25

famous for having a clear eyed

16:28

look into the future of America. How

16:30

about Marshawn Lynch. That was a big trade, although

16:32

at the time people really thought he was used

16:34

goods and that it wasn't that big of

16:36

a deal. But they got a lot for him when they

16:39

trade him from the Bills to the Seahawks.

16:41

The way the question is phrased, wouldn't it actually

16:43

be just from two now? Yeah?

16:46

So I got

16:50

one for you, David Johnson for DeAndre Hopkins.

16:53

Yeah, so I'm gonna go ahead and

16:55

say, yes, this has been the biggest trade of the

16:57

decade. One more. Then we're gonna get Rachel

16:59

and Eric

17:01

boogie again. The boogie. The Boogieman is

17:04

having a big Halloween season. He's

17:06

got good questions. Are we entering a golden

17:08

era for NFL trades? Oh? This has got greggy

17:10

written all over it. Why is trading so much more

17:12

prevalent than it was just

17:15

a few years ago. Well, I gotta say the trade

17:17

tsunami was slightly ahead of its time.

17:19

But I the trade tsunami I was predicted

17:21

from a four or five years ago has

17:24

hit. It's because it's easier to get people

17:26

under the cap now, like the cap is so

17:28

high. I think they structure these trades,

17:31

uh, these um

17:33

contracts in a way that just makes it easier for

17:36

people to trade and move money into the future, and people

17:38

aren't that close to the cap all the time.

17:41

It's a beautiful thing. It's makes

17:43

the NFL much more interesting. You

17:45

know what's you know what else is a beautiful thing, this

17:48

world that we live in, an NFL media where

17:50

this woman now counts as a

17:52

colleague joining us. Now she's

17:55

got bangs Rachel Bonetta. Listen

17:58

to listen. It's not make a big thing about

18:00

it, okay,

18:04

mentally to our YouTube.

18:06

Fine, mentally, That's all you need to know

18:09

is that a thing. Is there a correlation with

18:12

women getting bangs with some type of So

18:15

I've gotten so many messages like are you doing

18:18

okay? I called my mom and she

18:20

she just said, oh, sweetie,

18:26

well what is that shirt you're wearing? Rage

18:29

for you? That's

18:31

a beautiful throwback New

18:33

York Jet screen sweatshirt. This is

18:35

also a good luck chart. My friend, I wore

18:37

this right before I think they played the Browns. All

18:39

I bought this before they played the Browns them no

18:42

problem, interesting that

18:44

one. All right, welcome back to Bangs

18:46

with Banetta. Thank

18:48

you Jason Joseph for that. So Rage.

18:52

We're going to get into a bunch of things, but we're gonna start

18:54

now by transitioning to the

18:56

Thursday night football recap. You're ready to

18:58

uh hit that hard. I'm

19:00

ready to rock. Let's say to hit it at a

19:02

mediocre pace, We'll

19:04

be right back. Dalton

19:07

straight dropped back but rolls over the middle

19:09

and a rum heading interception by Isaiah

19:11

Simmons in midfield runs it back to the left

19:14

of the forty pat the thirty at at

19:17

the pet Simmons in back

19:19

to back intercepting returns

19:21

for touchdowns by the Cardinals at

19:23

the end of the half. The third peck

19:25

thrown by Andy Dalton and the

19:27

Cardinals defense but takeaways,

19:30

turning them directly into scores. How

19:33

about that? As Mark

19:35

exits the shot, tries to get back into the

19:37

shot in time, but fails

19:39

to. Marco Wilson and Isaiah

19:42

Simmons scored touchdowns on pick six

19:44

is within a minute of each other late in the first

19:46

half, and it was the driver

19:48

for the Cardinals and a forty two to

19:51

thirty four win over the

19:54

Saints. And

19:57

the Saints of the Cardinals improved to three

19:59

and four, it's the first time they've won in their

20:01

building in a year.

20:04

And for the Saints, we're gonna get to the Saints

20:06

because we've talked a lot about the Saints

20:08

in the summer and it's time to re examine that situation.

20:11

Rachel. Let me start with you on this one because

20:14

when you were uh

20:17

kind enough to join us in London on

20:19

stage to talk about the figures in the NFL

20:21

that fascinate you, Kyler Murray

20:23

was one of those figures. And this was another

20:26

spotlight game with people paying

20:28

attention not just to the game, but what's

20:30

going on with the Arizona

20:33

operation. And I think people will remember

20:35

this game for two things, the double pick six

20:37

by Dalton only ones his fault,

20:39

and then the Kyler Murray sideline. I

20:42

don't know, altercation feels strong with Cliff Cliff

20:44

Kingsbury, but he ran up to his coast racially

20:46

and said, calm down, what do

20:48

you what do you think about this game? For the car There's

20:50

a few more words in that sentence. Yeah,

20:52

I don't think it was calming down. There's a few

20:54

more things. And then he kept going, your

20:57

thoughts on the state of the Cardinals after that game? Just

21:01

if I'm de Hopp and I'm coming back, I'm like,

21:03

oh God, can can

21:05

I be Christian McCaffrey? Can I go somewhere else as

21:07

well? Like, it's just it's such a it's

21:10

such a mess. You can you can get excited about the Cardinals

21:12

because of the two picks and and then winning

21:15

and putting up a lot of scores on the board, Deander

21:17

Hopkins being back. But then it's just

21:19

that one moment that tells

21:22

you so much more than

21:24

the score does. And this scheme is

21:26

a absolute mess.

21:28

You've got Kyler who is

21:31

seemingly very immature, and to be honest,

21:33

I kind of thought I was putting all of the problems

21:35

on Kyler and then you see

21:37

him wigging out over Cliff,

21:40

seemingly yelling and getting upset, overly

21:42

upset in his ear. And I don't know if you guys heard

21:44

his Like the post game, he was like, um,

21:46

Cliff was like, it's just a bunch of gen Z stuff.

21:49

They're like they care about what you

21:51

look like on television. Like it's a

21:53

mess. It is a full blown

21:56

mess, and I kind of love it. Yeah, Michael

21:58

Morgan chimes in with youth and Kyler

22:00

yells at this much at his

22:03

CEO D Friends Online. That's called

22:05

says that exact same sentence, And that's why

22:07

it came out of his mouth so easily. It's because

22:09

he just yells that all the time.

22:12

But I love how messy it is.

22:14

It's just gross and I wanted to keep

22:16

on. I don't want Clif to go anywhere. I want

22:18

them to ride this out. D Hopp was

22:20

just like, I'm not married, but it's like, you know, seems

22:23

like what a marriage would be like, Um,

22:25

it's kind of right, by the way, Yeah, I

22:28

wouldn't know, But what's that what's

22:30

that show a marriage story? What's the

22:32

one with Adam Driver and he's this

22:37

is marriage story NFL? And know

22:39

how that movie right?

22:42

It could have been called divorce story? And

22:45

uh, one of those guys makes a lot

22:47

more than the other, and I

22:49

don't know, he seems the one that would stick around

22:51

more. It was kind of funny because

22:54

as much as Kyler yelled at him

22:56

to come, you know, they left down and then continued

22:58

to scream at him for another twenty second. Cliff

23:01

listened. He was kind of just sitting there being

23:03

like, okay, thank you, and then Kyler just kept

23:05

yelling and then walked away. And by

23:07

the way, the score was fourteen to six at that point.

23:09

If that was Tom Brady doing that, maybe

23:11

we'd give Tom Brady credit for inspiring

23:14

the troops because they had their best twenty minutes

23:16

of the season right after Kyler did that

23:18

I think it is like a marriage though, because I mean, Kyler

23:21

and Cliff have known each other since Kyler

23:23

Murray was in high school. It's been a long

23:25

time, and it does remind you

23:27

kind of like when you're in that break up phase

23:29

and you're getting like in fights at like a Chinese

23:32

restaurant and out out in the street like they're all

23:34

over each other. It's been like weeks in a row where

23:36

Kyler Murray's sort of nonplussed

23:38

with the way that Cliff Kingsbury comports

23:40

himself on the sideline. And now gen

23:43

z comment was like, I like to be emotional,

23:45

and he's coming and telling me to try to be the cool

23:47

guy, saying calm down, keep a chill. But they're

23:49

in each other's ear and stuff, and it seems

23:51

to just not quite be working in concert

23:53

on any j Z comment is condescending.

23:56

He's calling him immature, and

24:00

they're taking by your player as condescending.

24:02

I mean that put Cliff in a

24:04

tough spot and a little bit emasculating

24:07

that that jumps to mind, and I understand

24:10

now that would never happen in the

24:12

eighties or even the nineties, or even the beginning

24:15

of the New Century where a player

24:17

would do that. The dynamic between players

24:20

and coaches in general is a lot

24:22

more chill and different than it was like when Bill

24:24

Parcels was, you know, ruling

24:26

the world with an iron fist. But still,

24:28

yeah, it is. It's it's pretty unusual for

24:30

the quarterback to every very publicly

24:33

tell the head coach to pipe down in the middle of

24:35

a prime time game. But you know, on the

24:37

other end of it, they moved the ball

24:39

well for stretches of this game. They

24:41

did a nice job essentially putting this game away

24:43

in the second half and never letting New Orleans

24:46

really get back into it. So

24:48

I thought that was progress. And on the on the saint

24:50

side of the ball um mark you

24:52

have. You have a team that

24:54

we talked about in the summer. We said, this team probably

24:57

has the highest ceiling potentially of these

24:59

kind of fringe E contender teams, but also pretty

25:01

low floor. And this is one of the

25:03

most penalized teams in the league. They have

25:05

the worst turnover differential in the NFL.

25:08

The defense is underperformed, and

25:11

all of a sudden, Andy Dalton now is looking like

25:13

Jamis Winston. And at that point it's like what's the

25:15

point, just play Jamis Winston. Another

25:18

tough night for the Saints and what's been

25:20

a tough season. Yeah, they're they're disorganized,

25:22

they're a mess. And when we talked about the floor

25:25

before the season, we're seeing the floor because

25:27

what I thought they would have um before

25:29

they traded away Gardner Johnson

25:32

was one of the nastiest secondaries in the league.

25:34

Well, they don't. And their defense

25:36

in general is simply not the Saints defense that

25:38

we grew accustomed to over the last couple of seasons.

25:40

And the quarterback situation, I mean, they went into

25:43

this season with two veteran quarterbacks

25:45

with overt issues and limitations,

25:47

and so that's what we're getting now, a dueling banjo

25:50

job between two quarterbacks with overt situations

25:53

that are problematic. And Andy Dalton and me. I

25:55

mean that Marco Wilson flip behind

25:58

him as he's walking away, Uh, just leveled.

26:00

It's essentially his move right

26:02

when they when he goes into the we know the Hall of

26:04

Fame of like mezzanine level quarterbacks that that

26:06

will exist at some point. That will be the

26:08

tape they show when he's inducted, because

26:10

it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in

26:12

slow motion in my entire life.

26:15

That's two weeks in a row. Do you guys? What was it

26:17

that? What was the cam? Was that the Giants

26:19

cam that went kind of crazy last week and like

26:21

it was like inception and like turned on an angle.

26:24

Then we had this shot this week. You know how like at the

26:26

end of the year, National Geographic

26:28

will put together like the greatest moments in

26:30

photography over the past. That's

26:32

got to be in there. And I am voting for

26:34

it. Dang it. Do you have a vote?

26:36

Are you on the community? I feel like that will live on.

26:39

I think I should be. Let's start a petition now you do

26:41

with the banks. It's like it deserves

26:43

something for years and it's

26:46

Andy Dawton's career in a nutshell because I

26:48

don't know one wants to hear it. But Dalton played pretty

26:50

well last night. He had one bad, one

26:52

really bad throw in the red zone where they lost

26:54

four points out of it. He forced it in there. One

26:57

of the pick six is was a drop right. It was

27:00

perfect past that was just dropped wide open.

27:02

The other pick the other one he got

27:04

hit as he throw as he threw,

27:07

which you know, you gotta be aware of the pressure. But he got hit

27:09

as he throw and the other guy makes an insane

27:12

one handed catch. And whether a

27:14

ball is returned on a like for an

27:16

interception or not is just completely

27:18

luck. Whether a guy makes like a one

27:21

handed catch is completely lucked. And he threw it well.

27:23

Basically for the rest of the night, they moved the ball. They

27:25

had five yards. My point is more that

27:28

quarterback was great, Greg He was absolutely

27:30

stunning to to observe that. Just

27:33

stick with for real, the which part of that argument

27:35

do you disagree with? Just

27:38

over his career is gonna cost you. He's gonna

27:40

cost you. Point there. They

27:42

were missing there, What the to their top

27:45

four cornerbacks in this game? They missed seven

27:47

starters And Dennis Allen afterwards

27:51

had such a bad quote saying like, what's

27:53

your biggest concern for this team? And he was just

27:55

like, well, just that my players aren't

27:57

healthy. And it's just like, Dennis Allen,

27:59

to me as a head

28:01

coach, is just uninspiring. They're

28:04

so sloppy. You mentioned the penalties and

28:06

the turnovers and the excuses any and

28:08

he's right, like they are one of the most devastatedly

28:11

injured teams, and it is worth

28:13

mentioning they also lost Bradley Roby in that game. They

28:15

were down their top two wide receivers,

28:17

in their top three cornerbacks, and a couple other

28:19

starters like that, that is significant.

28:21

But Allen's reasons and like even

28:23

after halftime they asked, all right, what

28:26

what did Anny Dalton need to do different? And I and

28:28

I know, I just you know, it's said how two

28:30

of those were basically just bad luck. One what has

28:32

not on him at all and the other one happens uh.

28:35

And he was just like, Oh, he doesn't have to do anything different, just

28:37

just keep doing the same thing. Listen. That

28:41

was always a thing with Dennis Allen. This

28:43

was something that I feel like was overlooked consistently

28:46

this summer that Allen would be a

28:48

huge downgrade from Sean Payton. I think you're seeing

28:50

that in both the discipline of the team and the

28:53

bottom line record. I I don't feel

28:55

like going back and forth with you on this one, Greg, but I

28:57

don't know why you're making excuses for Dalton

28:59

here. I'm just saying he threw dime after

29:01

dime. The reason he was through some beautiful passes

29:04

he do an end zone interception. The Isaiah

29:06

Simmons play was a great play by

29:08

a former first round pick. But also that ball was

29:10

fired right in the orbit of a

29:12

lindbacker in the middle. He was like hit

29:14

in the side as he was throwing it, So

29:17

you have to admit there's some a lot of luck going

29:19

on it. But I mean, I don't

29:21

know to use your logic. If Sam Donald does

29:23

the same thing, you're not making excuses for Sam Donald

29:25

would not have thrown like three

29:27

and four touchdowns and like graded very

29:30

well. I'm just saying, like Dalton,

29:32

he graded well, Okay, now this is adding up.

29:35

He graded one.

29:37

I think we need to appreciate quarterbacks.

29:40

Everything's fine. I think we need to appreciate

29:43

more of like the Jamis Winston's that throw like Hella

29:45

touchdowns and Hella picks, because if

29:48

you were not invested in those teams,

29:50

that's fun football, both of those

29:52

picks. Last night we were screaming about

29:54

all of the touchdowns. We were screaming about unless

29:56

you're boring and like defense, which I

29:59

feel like is I don't know Mark's vibe. I

30:01

like this kind it

30:04

is chaotic, it's exciting, and I

30:06

want to watch more of it. You know what I noticed

30:08

on this show a couple of times when Rachel's

30:10

appeared, it was like, if you get caught, if

30:12

you get into a jam, just send a flaming

30:15

arrow into Mark's head. That's how you get out of the corner.

30:17

It's like, that's gonna not that's gonna stop working.

30:19

At some point, Rachel on the sixth

30:21

floor of the Texas book that I believe it is.

30:23

She's not. She's not stacking school books either.

30:26

I can tell you kind of Dan and I's move over the years

30:28

too, So it's like to be a co host.

30:31

I just slipped right in. Um,

30:34

all right, any other thoughts on the game? M

30:38

D. D. Hop does make like the entire

30:40

difference like that. I don't think there was anything different in

30:42

this Cardinals offense other than DeAndre

30:44

Hopkins was there. That was it. And I think Kyler's

30:46

willingness to run the last two weeks. He picked

30:49

up some really key first downs early in the

30:51

game because he's willing to run again and that's what

30:53

kept them in it early. But there was really nothing

30:55

different. It's just like, oh, you got new cop comes back

30:57

in that like totally changes

30:59

your offense, which is when do we get the hard Knocks out

31:01

because I am launching the CRAPU

31:05

November eight or something like,

31:07

oh god, they're sneaking a perfect

31:09

team for this. I am perfect

31:11

and it's coming at the right time, like

31:14

when they always start to fail there. I don't think

31:16

that they'd be starting to film yet, but like

31:19

we got this game on on episode

31:22

that usually in season

31:24

hard knocks isn't typically my

31:26

jam. But if this season

31:28

really did devolve into petty soap

31:30

opera drama between the head coach

31:32

and quarterback, I'm all in. If

31:35

I'm if I'm like part of the Cardinals though, I'm panicking,

31:37

but they're like, we agreed to this because

31:40

we thought we were going to be good and d hops coming

31:42

back and everything's like all hunky dory

31:44

and it's not. I'm panicking.

31:46

I'm calling Mr Hbo

31:48

himself and asking, can we, you know, do

31:51

this? Who? Who is Mr Hbo?

31:54

Do we know? I think it's where

31:56

you're calling their team owner, who's always just like, oh, yeah,

31:58

sure, we'll do it. How many different card knocks

32:00

and all or nothing? Sly? Then Oh

32:21

it's that time on the Friday

32:23

Fun show working title where

32:26

one human gets

32:28

the floor and this week it's Mark Sesler.

32:31

It's about me. I

32:34

uh, this is my time to make it about me, but

32:37

I am going to make it a little bit about um

32:39

everyone. Uh it is Uh. This

32:41

week I did a QB index that essentially

32:44

just had a high coup for all thirty two

32:46

starting quarterbacks. Um, but I

32:48

wanted to It was a good

32:50

hook. I mean, I'm not sure the editors agreed

32:52

with that, but um, apparently some readers

32:55

potentially did. I want to expand that out

32:57

to make some high coups about some

32:59

of the people old that star on this show. Um,

33:02

and so here we go. Wait before

33:04

you do that, Yeah, we're there. Actually was there actual

33:06

pushback from the edit desk. I

33:08

don't rather not dig too deep into that, but

33:10

there was there were I think there was some hesitation

33:13

about what might be the final products might look

33:15

like. We also had a couple of podcasts

33:17

exclusive Dan because there

33:19

were high coups too hot for NFL

33:22

dot Com that we just read on the podcast. Some had

33:24

to be re reworked. Let's put it that way.

33:26

Probably true of these as well. All Right, we're gonna start

33:28

with a high coup for for Dan.

33:31

Okay, we're gonna put these up on screen, mealing

33:34

down to pull a stray leaf from

33:36

his swimming pool, old tugboat

33:39

tugs. Mm hmm. I

33:44

want to keep that, Benige, because if I lose Dan

33:46

early in this, we're gonna be in hot water. So I just wanted

33:48

to keep that. That's sort of the nice side to Dan. He's

33:50

home in his house. Let's go to Greg. Don't don't

33:52

forget those line breaks we heard from the listener. You

33:54

know, well they can read it on screen here too, but I will

33:57

Gregg Rose and Dolls hit

34:00

the trifecta at Belmont

34:02

well dressed up in women's tennis gear.

34:06

Beautiful. I like that,

34:08

and I do love a nice

34:11

women's tennis hoodie and the tub.

34:15

That's right, um, grave

34:17

digger, it

34:20

wouldn't be so fun to be

34:22

a real grave digger. Dead bods

34:24

in hot June's

34:29

all right now. I

34:32

was gonna say, like in the maybe like you're

34:35

just tossing in an old corpse, but usually

34:37

they're sealed in a cat. But you're right, you

34:40

know, not everyone can afford a

34:42

like a four thousand dollar casket. I

34:44

would imagine, right, some people are just put

34:46

an old mom in the backyard. You know exactly

34:50

now we're going to do we got We got

34:53

Rachel because she's our guest today. So we have one for

34:55

Rachel scared, a

34:57

new sun Rises, a new

34:59

me, smoking tree with Mooch

35:01

before game day?

35:05

Do you do drugs with Steve Mariuchi? I

35:08

don't smoke trees with Sea may

35:11

Well, not yet. In

35:14

our last one. This

35:16

is for Grave Diggers um side

35:18

piece Yessica, who who wa

35:23

It's not a side piece. She literally came

35:25

to live together. Alright,

35:28

his his live in mate, Yessica

35:32

from the East. I hail poor

35:34

Justin has no clue. I'm Russian

35:36

mafia.

35:40

All right, that's it. I'm into that. M

35:43

very good. Yeah, Mark's long term

35:46

plan to break up Yessica

35:48

and Justin adds another element.

35:50

We Yeah, we see the guys in

35:53

season hard Knocks. I'm interested in following

35:55

this storyline. That's

35:57

not we see. We see the long

35:59

game him, You're playing with Jessica and

36:02

we don't approve of it. We've

36:04

really develop relationship with

36:06

Justin. He's a great producer,

36:08

and you have to understand there's a responsibility

36:10

that comes with your role to get

36:13

involved and set the marginalize

36:15

their relationship for starters, it's

36:18

just the red flag subscribe. I

36:21

mean I would I would suggest that, um,

36:23

you re route that. That the whole

36:25

theory there. If anything, Justin had

36:27

a chance to knock that down, he willingly

36:30

published it because I think, if anything, the

36:32

two of them enjoy as much attention as they

36:34

can possibly get. You know,

36:36

I do love you know what's going to happen,

36:39

Grave, They're suspiciously silent right

36:41

now. They do curl up

36:43

on like a Friday night after the Friday

36:45

Fun Show, after everything's been put to bed and

36:48

they're they're planting their own trees, they

36:51

go and sit in front of the fireplace and they'll listen to

36:53

this show and just like look at each other and give a little

36:55

like knowing smirks and like snuggle

36:58

in front of a hot fire. That

37:00

accurate answer for yourself, Grave Digger,

37:02

we need you here. Accurate

37:06

you have a fireplace? Okay,

37:10

brag um,

37:14

all right, good job, Mark, you

37:16

nailed it. Uh. Let's check back

37:18

in with the listeners slash

37:21

viewers on the Friday Fun Show.

37:24

Working title Mika Lebano

37:27

Miko Lebano over here. Would you

37:29

rather be a packers or Broncos fan over the next

37:31

ten years. Oh wow,

37:33

that's a big one. Um Packers

37:36

history fun go

37:38

to Lambeau. But it's tough. It's a

37:40

toughie. You're making

37:42

a face, Rachel. Yeah,

37:45

well, I guess I

37:47

just don't know. I feel like the Packers

37:49

future is more unclear

37:51

than the Broncos. I guess. I mean, how many more years

37:53

is Aaron Rodgers have? Maybe that's

37:55

a good thing. I don't know. If I like the clarity

37:58

that is Russell Wilson guarant seed money

38:00

the next three or four years. I go Packers just because

38:02

yet you mentioned Lambeau, but also the history,

38:05

Like there's this idea that the Broncos are

38:07

this like super well run organization. But

38:09

they've had their ups, they've had their downs. It's a new

38:12

ownership you have to deal with that. It

38:14

could be coaches, g M. The Packers always

38:16

seem like they know what they're doing. They'll find a way.

38:18

I'm going hard head

38:21

in London and those

38:23

things really retain like sweat.

38:26

It was soaking wet and I can't I can't

38:29

go back to that. So you're

38:31

saying Sauce Gardner might have like caught

38:33

some disease and

38:36

then he kind of like started to like calm down and look around.

38:39

And I think that that was the moment that he was like, this

38:41

is soaked, and I was

38:43

coming from a sweaty man. What

38:45

else do we do? Ronald

38:49

Bodenham, Roland Rolandingham

38:52

favorite Bonetta impression, Cooper Cup

38:54

or Mike McDaniel Napoleon.

38:58

Mike McDaniel was just lay aired. I

39:00

had so many influences, Napoleon Dynamite

39:03

being one of them, Mark Sessler

39:05

being another. I

39:07

think you like McDaniel Mike

39:09

McDaniel. Now, when I watched him talk, I just kind of

39:11

hear him as Napoleon Dynamite and there's a lot

39:14

in there. So I'm gonna go I couldn't believe that

39:16

nobody else saw that before.

39:18

That's just you opened our eyes. That's

39:21

your skill, that's your talent, because

39:24

I just think that was more like the method

39:27

and you it was like you had studied

39:29

the essence of Cooper Cup and gotten every inflection.

39:31

And yeah, he's got a little bit of a fun twang to

39:34

him, and he's got all the facial hair and a right

39:36

one. More Zach

39:38

cl with all these jets wins, how come we

39:40

haven't heard from Keith at all. Well

39:43

last week. Today's Keith's birthday,

39:45

actually happy birthday.

39:47

So my old man um

39:50

has been busy hung out with

39:52

his his brother ed uncle

39:55

ed less Sunday and

39:57

watch the Giants game. Uncle has a big

39:59

Giant's and so he had DVR the Jets

40:01

game, so he wasn't able to give any reaction to

40:04

the Green Bay game in real time.

40:06

So Dad, do you hear it? Here

40:08

he comes,

40:13

People want to say hello to you. They can't. You can't

40:16

really hear him, but I just want to see you on the He's

40:18

also been on a wild bend. We

40:21

we can hear you said,

40:24

happy birthday, Thank you very much. This

40:27

is a great day with Daddy coming here to New York,

40:29

you know, and going to the Yankee game tomorrow,

40:32

looking forward to it. I

40:34

always like seeing everybody here. You know, that's

40:37

Rachel. You haven't met Rachel. Rachel?

40:41

What are you working on outside that right now? Dad's

40:43

always working in the front in the backyard, just

40:46

picking up a few things. Just cut the grass this

40:48

morning. And uh, you know that's what I do on

40:50

my birthday. You know, I

40:52

got a super there you go, Super

40:55

Bowl forty nine that was one of them, like, yeah,

40:59

yeah, we're look at this all right. Hey,

41:01

I like that, right, I

41:03

like that. I like that? All right, Papa,

41:06

Okay, I'll see you in a little bit, all right. Same

41:10

hair, exact

41:12

same hair that my dad he only

41:14

wears free merch from the NFL. Now that's

41:17

exclusively my dad's wardrobe. Um,

41:20

all right, So there you go, a little drop

41:22

in from Keys. So there he is. You're making your

41:24

dad do yard work on his birthday. Why

41:27

why couldn't you have said? Let me absolutely

41:29

would have and I always do

41:31

when I come home, take care of the lawn. But

41:33

I was preparing for this show, being a

41:36

pro. Unfortunately my dad retired. You

41:38

know, he has more time than I

41:40

do. Right now, you know nothing,

41:44

let's move to Oh

41:46

I always love this part of the show. It

41:50

is time now for the Greg Rosenthal

41:53

Week seven Injury Minute, presented

41:55

by Acrasshure. A milkshake

41:58

for old Lady Bones. Uh

42:01

p, J Walker's back. Sorry he's

42:03

starting for the Panthers again. No Donald or

42:06

Mayfield this week. Mark Andrews returned to

42:08

practice. Bad news for Mark Sessler's

42:11

brown so it looks like he will play Denzel

42:13

Ward will not play for the Browns. Neither

42:15

were Wired teller. Jadavian Clowney

42:17

did return to practice and looks like he probably

42:20

will play. J K. Dobbins will be

42:22

out for the Ravens. On the other hand, Kenny Picketts

42:24

looks like he's starting. That's not announced at

42:27

quarterback, but he's cleared the concussion protocol.

42:29

So as Pat Friar muth

42:31

Logan Wilson, the good Bengals linebacker

42:34

is out. Shack Leonard will not return

42:37

for the Colts this week, which

42:39

is bad news. Jonathan Taylor will play.

42:42

Kristen Watson is out another week for

42:44

the Packers. We'll see if Sammy Watkins

42:47

plays. He might come on come off I R

42:49

for that game. And that was the

42:52

Greg Rosenthal injury minute presented

42:54

by Akrasher. What is it

42:56

again for

42:59

old Lady bone? Nobody,

43:02

nobody knows for sure? Um all right, time

43:05

now before we say goodbye Week seven

43:08

predictions, let's go over

43:10

the Week six predictions. First, Mark

43:12

non QB will score five t d s.

43:15

Also separate wager

43:17

Titans players or prediction get into a whole

43:20

bunch of trouble over bye week. That's

43:23

a that's a double x I believe. Yeah,

43:25

there's no evidence of the Titans players getting

43:27

in trouble. We don't know for sure, but nothing

43:30

to suggest. And he gets

43:32

over two and moving right along from double X

43:34

to triple X. My prediction was that Mark celebrates

43:36

in a unique Cecelarian

43:39

way for his his birthday.

43:42

And UM, you know, we don't have confirmation on this,

43:44

but I got a feeling Mark at a good time last weekend.

43:47

I'd give you at least half a win on that. Um,

43:49

if not a full win, I'll take

43:51

the full win. Okay, thanks, you left it open,

43:53

I'll take it. Greg. The Eagles d ends

43:55

the Cooper Rush hype with two

43:57

turnovers. I

44:00

got it? Uh, did you, though?

44:03

I said to more. Cooper Rush turns

44:06

the ball over twice and the hype

44:08

train ends. The Eagles defense ends

44:10

it with a thud with a couple of turns.

44:12

We gotta give you the X because he turned it over

44:14

three times. Sorrybody,

44:16

I mean I think anyone listening can

44:19

know where where to get their accurate predictions

44:21

from M. Mark. Go ahead, Mark, you decide

44:23

on that one. Is that an X or a check marks?

44:26

Yeah? Big time? All right? And finally,

44:28

Clay bound said the Browns win and

44:31

Chubb has three t d s, and we know right now

44:33

with the Browns that ain't happen all

44:36

right, now, on to the week seven predictions.

44:38

You want to get us going on this one, Vanetta,

44:42

m my week seven

44:44

bold prediction. The first one

44:46

would be if I threw a party and invited

44:48

all three of you guys, none of you would show up. That's

44:52

my first I'm

44:55

just kidding. I'm just kidding, Rachel.

44:58

You know, the as

45:01

a family man on the other side of the city, that

45:03

was a big ask, and I made that clear to you.

45:05

It's fine, Michael, Irvan showed up, but I

45:08

went out. I was

45:11

literally out of town. So I think will

45:13

continue to invite you guys to things. And

45:16

it's okay if you guys don't know what Mark was doing.

45:18

But I was in San Diego. I mean that was like,

45:21

that is unnecessary, Like to just

45:24

the way Greg operates in general is unnecessary.

45:27

Rachel. She just wanted to happy birthday to you

45:29

as well. Rachel. Thank you, my

45:31

my week seven bold prediction. Maybe this is a little

45:33

bit lame, but I know that going into

45:35

this week, everyone's like, oh, these games.

45:39

I actually think this is going to be

45:41

one of the more exciting weekends.

45:43

And I was saying this even before Christian McCaffrey

45:46

joined the forty Niners. We got chea forty Niners, which

45:48

is interesting. Chargers Seahawks

45:51

I find interesting. The Seahawks have been putting

45:53

up points. Their defense is awful.

45:56

I feel like that's going to be a spling fest. Colts

45:58

Titans shout out Graver. I feel like that might be fun.

46:01

Uh And I think that next week

46:03

we're gonna be like we're Nins. Jimmy

46:05

Chick, you love Jimmy,

46:08

that's your team. Those are my predictions.

46:11

This week is gonna be good. It's gonna be fun, alright, Greg,

46:13

Yeah, it was as if Andy Dalton heard a

46:16

message from the league office increased points

46:18

and he's just a good company man, and that's what he did.

46:20

It's coming week seven. My prediction

46:23

is that Bill Belichick will

46:25

break out a play

46:27

or a move something

46:30

directly inspired by George Hallis

46:32

in this win over the Bears. Most

46:34

likely it'll be like running a T formation

46:37

like the nineteen thirties offense

46:40

that George Hallis broke out to

46:42

help change the NFL. But he'll do something

46:44

as a historical nod to George

46:46

Hallis during this game as

46:49

he passes in because that's just the type of

46:51

guy that And

46:53

you know what, when it's thirty

46:55

to six in the third quarter,

46:58

he'll have, you know, some wiggle room to play with

47:00

on that right. It's like that drop quick kick

47:02

he had Doug Flutie do uh

47:04

in Doug Flutie's last game. I believe it was

47:06

like fifteen years ago. He'll do something fun.

47:09

How about you? Mark? All Right, it's

47:11

a two parter um both

47:13

both of these things have happened. Well,

47:17

because I am telling you the I'm I have

47:20

two visions, two locks. These are absolute

47:22

locks. Both of things things have occurred in NFL

47:24

history. We were at a game where this occurred.

47:27

Um A, a wide ranging power

47:29

outage occurs at one NFL stadium and

47:31

causes a massive disruption delay slash

47:34

delay. All Right, we solved the Super

47:36

Bowl. Can happen again? Number part

47:38

B or number two? Um A player

47:40

is involved in a major mishap

47:42

involving the team bus that

47:45

again causes UM like

47:47

issues where like will player

47:49

X be there by kickoff? Like he gets run

47:52

over by the bus? No, I would say more like there

47:54

was I think was Adrian Peterson like a

47:56

decade plus ago, like missed the

47:58

team bus and they were unsure if you'd get there

48:00

by kickoff, and it caused all these like

48:03

pregame you know, issues

48:05

and consternation. So something of that nature I

48:07

guarantee will will occur. But why

48:09

do you want, um chaos and pain

48:12

and these things to happen. Why do you want

48:14

to root for? Why is that always what comes up?

48:17

I don't think anyone is getting There's no pain, no

48:19

one's getting hurt here, Like a power

48:21

outage could be be peaceful. Um

48:23

it was at the super Bowl and the player

48:25

just simply there's a mishap involving the bust

48:28

me that question, Greg, Like

48:31

Alfred said in the Dark Night, some

48:34

people just won't to watch the world

48:36

burn. My

48:39

prediction is and

48:42

Rachel is already hinting at it, although I did not

48:44

know what athletic wear she would

48:46

have on today. Um,

48:48

Rachel on bab Bench with Banetta, her

48:50

podcast which everybody should check out, has been searching

48:53

for a new team. She settled on the Chargers,

48:55

and I stressed settled and I told

48:57

her after I pitched the Jets to her an April,

49:00

you gotta give the Jets a look. They

49:02

are the team to get behind. They are building

49:05

a new core. There's a lot of excitement. This

49:07

could be the team. She laughed at me. She eliminated

49:10

the Jets in August, and I told

49:12

Rachel on her show this week and a

49:14

message, no hard feelings. The doors

49:17

still open. And after the Jets pants

49:19

the Broncos on predicting, Rachel

49:22

on her podcast this week's She

49:24

she does it. She announces that the Jets are a

49:26

new favorite. Wow,

49:30

so she you're predicting. She announces her Jets

49:32

fandomb even bolder than a mishap on

49:34

a bus. Are you? Are you at

49:36

all worried? Dan Elijah Moore, who's

49:39

now going to be inactive for this game because

49:41

he requested a trade, is the is

49:44

the thing that turns this into a Jets

49:46

season? Um, you can

49:48

stop with that negative energy Patriots fan.

49:50

But I'm not happy with the situation. I

49:52

have to tell you, like Elijah Moore has got to pipe

49:54

down a little bit there. It's everything's

49:56

going well for the team and they're still transitioning

49:59

with Wilson after all the issues

50:02

like waited out, um and and kind

50:04

of be a pro. But I understand the frustration,

50:06

but I don't like that it's come to this in a trade

50:08

demand for a second year player. Hopefully

50:11

cooler heads prevail. And I like at this point the way

50:13

the Jets have handled it, which is they sent him home. They

50:15

said, you're not playing this week, but

50:18

we don't want to trade you, and we're not going to trade you. And

50:20

I hope cooler heads prevailed. But no, Greg, I didn't

50:22

like that. That's been It

50:24

could be. It could be a big Keith Hands this weekend
