REShow: Hour 3

This is the Rich Eisen Show. This play, as you know, is an automatic. Here we go, lovely show, play show.

Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. I think it looks ugly, but it looks like rugby. I don't like the pushing, that's the only thing.

I just don't like it and it's ugly and it's tough to officiate. Earlier on the show, two-time Super Bowl champion and Greenlight podcast host, Chris Long. Still to come, your phone calls, overreaction Monday and more. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Our number three of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air, 844204 Rich, number to dial. Hours completely wide open. It's all about you and you calling in until the final segment of the show, then it's about us.

As we will take a few moments to, on display, full view of everybody on the Roku channel and for full Ear Gate listening to anybody listening, Terrestrial Radio, Sirius XM, Odyssey and more. We're going to choose the draft order of the Rich Eisen Show NBA Fantasy League by spinning our miniature version of the Price is Right wheel that we have right here. We're going to come out and everybody's going to come out and spin the wheel once. And whoever has the highest amount on the wheel, just one spin.

One spin. Gets the first overall pick and so on and so forth. It's the only fair way I think we can do it. And I can't wait because it's going to be dynamite.

And the one person who has the ultimate advantage is the only individual who's spun the actual wheel in his lifetime. TJ Jefferson. That's later on in this third hour. It'll be great. Do not miss it, essentially. So, back here on the show after a very busy weekend, two things I did were, well three things. One is I was there with Coop for his travel ball team over the weekend. Susie had yesterday, I had Saturday, and then I did NFL Game Day morning on Sunday. And it was really tough, but I'm glad I did it because it's very important that I do this sort of stuff. I was able to sneak in a scouting trip to Columbus, Ohio, and it was great. It was great. It was fruitful. Well, I mean, because, you know, Penn State and Ohio State are coming up on Michigan's schedule. Good notes. And I, yeah, oh my gosh.

A lot of number two pencils. And here's what I saw. I saw a Penn State team, it's the same damn Penn State team that I've ever seen a Penn State team. You know, I mean, the lack of third down success, the lack of, you know, I kind of now feel more for that fellow who asked James Franklin, just throw it deep.

A couple of times in the game, I thought to myself, why not just throw it deep? Shuck it up. Am I wrong? You tell me. You're the Penn State guy over there, TJ. I mean, you tell me that's what I want.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. You know what I mean? And I know it made James Franklin skin crawl. But you know, what makes Penn State fans skin crawl is being one and nine against the two teams that you have to beat.

You know? And it was there for the taking and then some weird, like, why did they go for two? You know, when they scored a touchdown, you just kick the extra point. I guess you figure if you go for two there, then your final touchdown, you just kick the extra point and you win it.

As opposed to then putting the pressure on scoring eight points in a manner that you haven't been able to do all game long, if you do somehow wind up with the ball back and get down the field again. And then, you know what else I saw? I saw an Ohio State team, pardon me, the Ohio State team. Because I don't want you to confuse it from an Ohio State team. Understand?

I'm just trying to be helpful. I saw an Ohio State team, this is exactly why I went into the weekend saying they're going to win this game. Horseshoe is lit.

Okay? And that defense can play. And I know the quarterback isn't up to the standards many people think of Ohio State quarterbacks.

But that kid at number 18 in your program, number one in your heart. I mean, Kyle McCord, just, you know, just look for 18 and find them and just, who cares? How good is Marvin Harrison Jr.? This is why Joel Klatt, who is calling the game, says he's better than most receivers in the NFL right now.

Like, he could play in the NFL today and be the number one receiver on the team today. Which makes Ohio State incredibly dangerous moving forward. And their game against Penn State is now out of the way.

And they came up with that dub. Did they ever. And now they are undefeated, still. And they got their toughest home opponent out of the way. Good for them.

They look the part. With the exception on offense, I mean, they're, they... You all know what your issues are in Buckeye country. They don't have the firepower to keep up with Michigan. One would say, hold on a second.

We'll get to that in a second. At least for Penn State, at least for Penn State, it's just one loss. What do you make of USC? What do you make of the USC Trojans? They are the Logan Roy. You're not serious. You're not serious people. So they're the, they're the, well, Logan Roy would be the winner, right? Serious people.

Yeah, I mean, they're just, they're just not serious. We know they can't play defense. Obviously, they can't beat Utah.

Third straight loss. Utah's got their number, man. And so, you know, they're just all kind of all flash and they do some fun things.

They're great for, you know, Twitter clips and YouTube highlights. They're the Kendall Roys, right? Yeah, they're the fail sun. That's what's going on right now. Right, right, right. Through twenty two games with Caleb Williams, Lincoln, Raleigh's record at USC is seventeen and five.

Would you care to guess the record through twenty two games of his predecessor, Clay Helton, who was basically clay is a four letter word in Trojan country. I saw this. I'll give you the answer. Bingo. Seventeen and five.

Seventeen and five. And again, the fact that they could not tackle Utah again, like whatever caused them to not make the playoffs last year and open the door to what, you know, short of a field goal that went awry against Georgia, opened the door to an Ohio State national championship run last year. They didn't fix it.

They didn't fix it. And Utah, once again. You know, how many Pac-12 teams are excited to not have to play Utah anymore?

All of them. How disappointing are is USC? And the thing I saw two of the weekend was the Jeff where their faces melt into one another. It was Caleb Williams melting into Dak Prescott, which is unfair to both. It's unfair to both. That's not fair to both.

I saw that, too. Come on, man. That's bad. Come on, man.

Because because this Caleb Williams play defense, does he tackle? I know. And by the way, you cannot. And I know I'm talking about an am a a college athlete can't call them amateurs anymore. You know, but you cannot follow up the week where the story is, whether it's true or not, that you have asked any team that's going to draft you first overall for a piece of the franchise and pull one of those whiff throws.

Can't do that. That's true. I don't know if this is true or not. I don't know if it's true or not, because there's a lot of stuff coming out of that end of the world that he's going to stay in school. But but at the same time, he's already asking any team that drafts him for a piece of the franchise, which is not going to happen. He and his dad had the list to are only going to play for these 14.

Well, guess what? Look who's in the in the driver's seat in the NFC. It's a team that has Bryce Young. That's going to be in Chicago. That picks are going to be in Chicago right now. Do they go ahead and take him? Maybe.

And if not, it's the Cardinals who. He wants apparently no piece of right. But again, if it's true that he's asked for a piece of the franchise for any team that drafts him and then this is what happens, it's not great. It's not great. Not great, Bob.

Let's go to the phone lines right here. Ross in Fort Collins, you're here on the Rich Eisen Show. What's up, Ross? Hey, Rich. Fellow you, Mr. Long. Go Blue.

Not a boy. What's up? What's in your mind?

I was wondering if you think, given the NCAA's pensions for making mountains out of molehills for Coach Harbaugh, if he'll take off for the NFL, if knock on wood, the Blue can win a national championship. You know what, Ross? Thanks for the call. Greatly appreciate it.

This is the, you know, multimillion dollar question, which is why Brockman smiling like a Cheshire cat right now that it's been brought up on the show and he's not the one who brought it up. You know, it's fine. Thank you, Ross. I will.

I will just flat out shoot you straight. If let's just say the Bears wind up with the first and second overall picks. Right. And they can pull off the double dip that you keep talking about. Yeah.

Caleb Williams, Marvin Harrison Junior. Oh, and put it on the board. And then the Bears call up Jim Harbaugh and say, Hey, Jim, how would you like to come back to the NFL to the spot where, you know, you made your bones being Ditka's punching bag every now and then.

But we still love you here in Chicago. How would you like to be the guy here? And here is the keys to the store. Sorry, Ryan polls. We've got to let Jim's guy come in and help him shop for the groceries. And here's an insane amount of money to do it. Does Jim say no to that? I mean, could you blame him for saying yes to that?

Be tough. So and then there's the issue of what the hell this stuff is all about right now. What is this all about right now? Because if there is no there there and the athletic department isn't coming out full throated and telling the NCAA GTFOH. And he's sitting there saying, where is the GTFOH? And if there is a contract that supposedly been on the table for him to pay him what he deserves, then and it's not coming now. Does that lend all to it? More of him saying this is it.

I'm out of here. And then the NCAA. There was a great article and opinion piece here in the L.A. Times over the weekend that they're running the playbook like they did on Pete Carroll and USC. And you know how Jim has come out and said, you know what? These kids deserve a piece of the television money. You know what? The transfer portal and the NIL stuff, you know, we should figure this stuff out because it's good for the kids. And the NCAA seeing this is when he's sticking his finger in their eye over cheeseburgers.

Then, oh, wait a minute. So a bunch of people are saying they have the place. So let's look into this and let's leak it. Let's get it out there.

Let's tell Pete Famel the name of the guy who was supposedly in the eye of the storm. Let's put it all out there. So there's there's so much happening right now that does cause to answer Ross's question, some consternation. And then comes the game.

Against Michigan State. Remember, Chris, I told you earlier on when you were like, you wish the Patriots would lose because they're not going to win it all or whatever. And I said, you know what?

Sometimes, though, you got to leave your your rival in a pool of their own drool. And then, you know, crying for mama, wondering about the future, not saying that's what the bills are in right now. But they're definitely questioning what's happening in twenty, twenty three off of that loss to your Patriots.

Totally. Oh, gosh. Michigan State, what Michigan did to Michigan State and Michigan State's apparently saying before the game, we don't we I don't know if we should play this game because if they know our plays, we're going to put our our our our players in jeopardy in harm's way. Maybe we shouldn't play the game. And then in the game, a Michigan State player is ejected for spearing. And by the way, as I was typing that out, a Michigan State player rips Blake Corum's face mask. It got ugly out there.

Yeah, it got ugly out there. And then Michigan State is running in the plays like it's nineteen twenty five again. Having their young quarterback come to the sideline and he's going to get the plays verbally because Michigan might know their signs and have it all out there. And then comes the game when Michigan supposedly with the other team sign, how to get J.J. McCarthy escaping the pocket half the time before he torched him. And Loveland, this kid on the screen from Idaho, a tight end who tomorrow's guest, Todd Blackledge, called Brock Bowers two point oh. And then the defensive line where you got 10 guys coming in, many of them scouts are in the stands legally looking at them for the NFL.

And you see these kids all over the lot like J.J. McCarthy. Chris, tell me, who is the leading odds on gambling favorite to be the Heisman Trophy now? Yeah, the Heisman Trophy winner, who is it?

Damn straight, because he's that good. I'm telling you, I have watched this team and this school forever. And I know Jim says that they're going to start referring to in future years quarterbacks in terms of J.J. McCarthy's time there. He's going to be the measuring stick for quarterbacks at Michigan again, because Brady, as we all know, had to watch Drew Henson trot in every now and then. And Harbaugh is not wrong. He makes every damn throw with a smile on his face. These kids are killing it.

And it's got to be eating them up alive that supposedly it's all because they've had the place. And then on top of it from Michigan State, let me just finish with this. With all of that and the school president, interim president is chagrined over the story about Michigan.

Where is the school president on the scale of being chagrined about why they have an interim coach? And then when Michigan beats the tar out of the Spartans to the point where they have zero points on the board. And one image of Hitler on the scoreboard.

Yeah, you're you're crunching your face. Michigan State had prior to the game a trivia moment on the board where you had to guess the photograph of the well-known figure or celebrity where that person was born. There's no way. And they had an image of Adolf Hitler on the screen underneath the words. It's a Spartan Stadium. I know Michigan State fans, many of whom are totally aghast about this. And rightfully so. By the way, there's also a an image of a local food chain that is well-known in the state of Michigan. It's a sponsor there. Do you think they want to have a picture of Hitler next to that? And they apologize. They say they were deeply sorry. There was a third party vendor in charge of it.

What's the name of that vendor? The Third Reich Party? Let me just say this to to whoever needs to be told this. There is no acceptable use of anything involving Adolf Hitler and regardless of what's going on in the Middle East right now, doesn't matter. I don't know if there's a young kids need to know new kids or whatever old folks. If you are basically turning to a colleague of yours and saying, hey, we need a photograph of Hitler for this.

You should immediately say, you know, bad idea. In case you're wondering, is born in Austria. So whoever's maybe what are you guessing? Right. You're high fiving like it's a dot race on a scoreboard. You guessed right on the three card Monte underneath the helmet where the football is so. Quite the night.

Wow. Where Michigan comes in is the villain. And then they just beat him up in the trenches, football style, beat him up.

Where I guess we knew the place. Now, in all seriousness, for just the football aspect of it, Michigan's on a buy. Then they got a home game against Purdue. We will see, because at Penn State ain't easy. And we saw Penn State's defense looked like with the exception of forgetting who number 18 for Ohio State was. We'll see what that looks like there. Then they go to Maryland, which I think has the ability to pick somebody significant off the rest of this Big Ten season. And then Ohio State home. We'll see how it all works. But if you were supposed to be stealing signs and stealing plays and stealing this and stealing that, and that's supposed to be your main method of succeeding. And then you take the guy who supposedly is the architect of it and he's on the sideline, whispering in the ears of the coordinators and the head coach about what to do. And then they're calling up the right place because they know your signs and they're that's how you're beating you.

And you have that guy ripped out of the system two, three days before. You should look a little choppy. You should look a little bit up and down. Forty nine nothing. And it could have been fifty six to nothing. If Michigan didn't have a motion penalty with time winding down and no timeouts left at the end of the first half would have been thirty five.

Nothing at halftime. And I was just like like Hans Gruber hit it again. All of us in the Michigan fan base were like Kylo Ren more more. Eight four four two oh four rich number to dial back with more in a moment. Rich Eisen here.

The unbelievable story of Billy Sunday Burt, the most dangerous man in Georgia history. He was a whiskey man, bank robber, hit man. He was a murderer.

He's also my father. Seasons one and two are available to binge right now and bonus episodes are coming soon. Imperative Entertainment presents In the Red Clay.

Get the podcast wherever you listen. So that's my take on Michigan, Michigan State. Yeah. A lot going on there, huh? I saw it again.

They were running plays in, you know, in the huddle quarterbacks coming to take the plays. OK, so we didn't know him. Honestly, hit it again. Swab and Kylo Ren Moore. You remember that scene? I do. Do spoiler alert. Luke came out of it anyway. Not this team.

In a pool of their own. That's that's what I'm talking about. You want your team to be just like left for goodbye. You move on. I know.

But in professional football is different. The same. I know. I'm trying to look at me. I'm trying to help you out over here. I don't need help. I need them to stop winning and that'll be good.

Well, I think that begins your quest for that begins Sunday. No, they're going to do something stupid and beat the Dolphins for a second. If they do, then you're three and five. It doesn't mean anything. They're not winning the Super Bowl. They're not going to the playoffs. Stop winning games.

Yeah. But in order to make the Super Bowl, having Mack make it and win a playoff game, that will be significant. You don't think that that's what's called building block, that you're not going to win this year, but maybe next year after you make the right moves in the draft. You mean you add the right guy. I mean, in free agency. Nobody trust Bill. No Pats fan trust Bill to make the right move in the draft on offense.

That's the problem. Started with Nikhil Harry, huh? Started with Lawrence Maroney. Chris, what was that story I text you about? Was AJ Brown who said he cried? Yeah, I've seen that clip over and over again. I cried, too.

No, it's crying worse than me. Del Tufo loves it. I know.

I feel you don't feel bad. I can feel it back on the Rich Eisen Show radio network sitting at the Rich Eisen Show desk furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry. Grainger has the right product for you.

Call click Grainger dot com or just stop by. Paul in Orlando, Florida, will take your call. What's up, Paul? Hey, Rich, you got me?

I do. What's on your mind, sir? Hey, I wanted to call in to say happy Monday and give a little overreaction after what was probably the most chaotic, anxiety inducing game I can remember as a Browns fan. For the sake of my heart, I'm just begging them to play a normal game for one. Well, I mean, no, it's honestly yesterday's game in Indianapolis was like two games in one. It really was. It was crazy. It feels like we played five seasons in one. If I'm not mistaken, it had the most lead changes in an NFL game this season. I think it was four lead changes and and then Minshew was running it in like crazy until Miles Garrett personally ended that jumped over the long snapper for a blocked 60 yard field goal and didn't touch the long snapper, making it legal. P.J.

Walker having to come in, Jerome Ford running one in from 70 yards out, but he gets hurt. My gosh, I don't know, man. And then meanwhile, the Browns, you just are who you are and you look at the record and they are flat out in the mix in the AFC North. They are. Yeah, I know. I was upset, though, because we're still in third technically with our division record.

Correct. I'm so sick of this division. It's so hard. Well, you're not going anywhere. You're not I mean, this is this is the family you've chosen, you know?

Yeah. Here's the business you've chosen. And I'll tell you what you want to talk about a fun game.

And thanks for the call, man. At Seattle is next. Seattle. I'm toying with this idea for my top five performers of the week. How about a little Bobo?

You want to get a little Bobo in this month? That catch was tight. And Jackson Smith and Jigba? Bobo and Smith and Jigba were the touchdowns. That's what happened for D.J.

Metcalf is ruled out. Hey, man, it's called having a roster and having a depth chart and always compete. Be Carol, man. Pete Carroll, except they do the dumbest things.

It's first and goal or they have goal to go from the half yard line and they're in the shotgun. What are we doing? That's what everybody does.

You got literally 24, 18 inches to go. Nice ball forward. Good job doing the math like that. It's moronic. Who's in line five right there? I have no idea. OK, that's because there's nobody's name in there.

Well, you know, the computer does that. I got it. I got it.

I got it. Let's go to Fitz in Dallas. You're here on the Rich Eisen Show. What's up, Fitz? Hey, now. What's going on? Hey, now.

Guys, can you hear me OK? I always get worried that Hoskins is going to dump the call. It's not Hoskins. It's still too far, but it's all good. It's all good. Oh, no. Hoskins is I apologize.

He's very busy in the back, although although you're about to see Mike Hoskins on camera next segment, he's going to come out and spin our wheel. Yes. So it's going to happen. We're doing our draft choice.

Our draft pick. Yes. Great. Great Star Wars reference second ago. May the force be with you guys.

Thank you very much. So and by my tracking, the early little holiday box should be to you guys with DJ's towel. And then I felt bad. I couldn't just leave the rest of you guys out.

So there's a little something for everybody. Be sure and share with the rest of the team off camera. Guys, all we've talked about is football, football, football today, which I love. We got a game seven tonight.

Damn straight. What do you got? What do you got? So just want to find out what do you guys think about Scherzer starting? I'm scared to death. Well, he hasn't shown the Scherzer of, you know, the plaque that he's going to have one day. We haven't seen it. Wouldn't it be great if it's who's going for for Houston tonight? Christian heavier. Okay. Wouldn't it be great if it was Scherzer versus Verlander? That would be something else.

And by the way, in Houston, I know you're psyched in Dallas. I'm sorry. I don't know. The room knows one every game.

Who knows? What if Scherzer shows up dealing like Scherzer of old and he didn't look good, though. I know he hadn't pitched in. I got it. But let's let's see what's up. And in Verlander, all hands on deck, right? Everybody's on deck like everyone.

Everyone can give you an inning game seven man. Thanks for the call, Fitz. Enjoy it.

Good luck to your team. Oh, there he goes. Oh, that's what you do, Mike. You see, he had a he had a follow up.

By the way, Rich said thanks. That's the indicator. You got to like leave a little bit room. I'm like a pitcher, but you're not a pitcher.

He said another reason. That's one other reason why Susie loves you, man. Susie's the queen of like by and then like it's gone like you're it's gone. And I'm sorry, Fitz, but I get the indicator out. I'm stealing if I got thrown out, I got thrown out. Do you think the do you think the Astros were brave was thrown at Adolis Garcia on Friday night? Tough spot to do that because it's a tight game.

Damn straight. It's a two run game. So probably not. It probably just got away from him. So do you think Garcia iced his own closer by going nuts and then having the rest of the eight things last as long as it did?

I think so, because it took 10 minutes to sort out. Dusty Baker refused to leave, by the way, and full Jordan Belfort. So it was it was weird. He just sat there. He sat there.

He was full Jordan Belfort. Look, Garcia runs hot. I really enjoy watching him play. He's having a really special post. Yeah. At that point in time, just drop the bat and go to first.

That's not who that dude is. Especially the way he hit the salami last night. By the way, how about that?

A golden sombrero. And then in his fifth at bat game over. We'll see you tomorrow night.

Oh, my gosh. Do not pitch to him tonight if you're Houston. And I thought that was a great call by Smoltz last night, especially since he lost to the Harbaughs by this final score of 80 something to six.

His two teams, Michigan State and the Lions. It's OK. Lost to the Harbaughs. You see, Jeter gave him a little bit of grief in the Fox pregame show. Yeah, baby. We got Jeter. We got Jeter.

Go to Michigan. Yes, he did for a hot minute. It doesn't count. Sure it does. Absolutely not.

Absolutely it does. He didn't play on the baseball team. Let me tell you something. If Ohio State fans can own Joe Burrow. Jeter showed up. Jeter would have if the Yankees didn't give him give him all sorts of money. Yeah, he was on campus.

It's not there. Absolutely not. It's like me saying I went to Syracuse. I got accepted. We got to know now. Now you're forcing me to get Jeter on the show, which I would have. Now you're twisting my arm to get Jared Jeter on the program.

Not Michigan. Oh, him and Big Poppy are fun to watch together. Yeah, because, you know, we we have the last. OK, very good stuff. So we got more laughs. Last laugh. Yeah, we have more laughs.

We laugh for a while. And then and then it wasn't so funny. No, it wasn't funny. Yeah.

No, it's not funny how sports are like that. Ken in Kansas City. You're on the Rich Eisen Show. What's up, Ken? I love we're just whipping through the phone lines. I want to talk about, you know, Taylor Swift's boyfriend is pretty good. You think?

Yep. But you understand that he's not that good without my home. And he's not that good without the line that they have. And I think they're underrated.

Because everybody's saying, oh, it's my home. He's going to do these things. And he does. Oh, 400 yards passing.

Right. You look, man, you know, how many 20 plus yards rushing everybody? Everybody in the NFL can is a product of the team. I mean, that's what we were talking about with Mike McDaniel saying that two is not a system quarterback.

You know what I mean? Like, honestly, sure. Was Kelsey wasn't as good with Alex Smith and with Mahomes, but Kelsey was also a different human. He was a hothead when he was with Alex Smith. He's become a much more mature guy and is much more of a leader than he was when he was with Alex Smith. And then obviously Mahomes might not be the same without Kelsey either.

I mean, they're they're they're incredible. And Mahomes wouldn't be the same without Andy Reid. Did you see that their winning percentage together? Reid and Mahomes is now better than Brady and Belichick and Lombardi and Bart Starr. I mean, it's unreal. And of course, having a line like that and thanks for the call, Ken, means so much to Mahomes, too.

You know what I mean? Like, give it up to Brett Veitch, who saw them lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Mahomes is running around for his life. Right.

Mahomes is running around for his life, limping on that toe that needed some some medical attention. And and they're like, yeah, you know, we're going to get Creed Humphrey and we're going to figure out this line because that's that's the bread and butter right there. And they did it. And they have, you know, and Chris Long even said in hour number one that they've remade themselves while still staying on top. They have. This is the reason why they're six and one is definitely if you had to choose a side of the ball that causes them to be six and one this year, you're choosing the defense.

Absolutely. But now you're seeing Rasheed Rice come to the equation and Marquez Valdez scantling. And, you know, I don't understand why the Jets looked at me, Cole Harbin, and said, yeah, we have no use for him.

Let's send him back to the spot where he is. And he came with a huge first down on Sunday in Kansas City. And, you know, this whole business with, you know, Taylor Swift and all that stuff. And I understand football fans, diehard fans just don't want to see her like, you know, having her own handshake with Mahomes his wife and whatever. And she is I will never have a problem with her showing up to these games at all, at all.

And I know the fans honestly, I know fans are like, don't show me that again. I know she's there or whatever, but you got to do it. I mean, she's only the most famous human on the planet.

Right. The famous woman on the planet. Who is the most famous human on the planet? I don't know. She's Taylor Swift.

No, sir. If we want to just go by Instagram followers. Sorry, Selena Gomez. OK, fine. That's why I was going to say somebody needs to date Selena Gomez.

One of the things that we can Justin Herbert then. Because this guy needs an injection of like good football play. You know, somebody needs to start dating.

Somebody needs to go. It's so funny. You know, you know, who doesn't mind Taylor Swift showing up to games? Andy Reid has zero problem with her showing up to games.

Hit it. Pat had obviously a big day with over 400 yards. Kelsey keeps getting better with time. Taylor can stay around all she wants. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. CBS put up a.

A graphic of Kelsey with games that Taylor Swift in attendance in the other category was left to his own devices. The headline was You belong to T.E.. Oh, God. OK. By the way, I do believe I'm hearing rumblings already. That there is an individual who might be showing up in Germany as well. Internationally.

For that game between the Chiefs and Jackson Holmes. Are you going to do a pregame production talk? I don't know. I don't know.

We'll see who shows up in Frankfurt, Germany. So integral. You know, it's over when Jackson Holmes gets Taylor Swift in one of his tick tocks. It's just going to be too much. But, you know, outside of all of that, how do the Chargers not cover Travis? Kelsey, if I'm a charger fan, I am losing my mind.

Also reached out to NFL Network for this one, the research staff, crack staff. Since the beginning of twenty twenty one, look at Kelsey's numbers in division. He has six hundred and forty yards and six touchdowns in five games against the Chargers. That is more than what he's gotten against the Broncos and Raiders combined.

So the Broncos and the Raiders, the supposedly less than of this division doing a better job of marking eighty seven than the team with all those talented players. How do you just not take his ass out defensively? I just flat out am gobsmacked by it because Brandon Staley is a brilliant guy. He is knowledgeable and he knows it. And then the number of times.

How many times was Kelsey just standing by himself at midfield on top of the Chiefs logo playing into the gate? You know, you just didn't have the glow sticks with him. It doesn't make that what you call him. I'm sorry.

I don't know. They're not called glow sticks, right? I know. It's getting ready for Halloween. It's like he's a little guy either.

And then, you know, he's small. Here we go again. I'm so glad I didn't take this cheese like last year.

I'm so glad I learned my lesson. Put up the standings through seven weeks of the AFC West. It is three words. It is over. It's over OVA. It is done.

Done. Because if you want to win this division, you've got to go into Kansas City and beat the Chiefs. The Broncos didn't do it. The Chargers didn't do it. You think the Raiders are going to do that after losing to Tyson Bajan? I'm saying in Chicago, they are three up on the Raiders. When does Kansas City play the Raiders?

Just so we can know for you know what's in giggles. They're at Las Vegas on the week dozen. That is Thanksgiving weekend. And then they have a Christmas Day game home against Vegas. Hang out has Taylor Swift and the Chiefs come down that chimney to take on the Raiders on Christmas Day. Hey, baby, this thing is over.

The only other one that you can make a case is over. Is the NFC North, but the Lions just lost and we'll see what the Vikings can do tonight, which is a big piece of what's at stake this evening. The Vikings have both games against the Lions left. And income, the San Francisco 49ers without Debo, it does appear that they're going to have. Christian McCaffrey tonight, the Packers are clearly in. Learning how to play football with a bunch of young guys on the offensive side of the football mode, and the Bears are hoping that Tyson Bajan can keep things afloat so they can be what, a five hundred team. So the Vikings have a shot here if they can put their calling card on the table against the San Francisco 49ers and say, we are still here even without Justin Jefferson. Defensively, we just played a really good game against the Bears and we're going to come in and do to the San Francisco 49ers. What the Cleveland Browns just did. This is what we're going to do.

And Kirk Cousins under the lights. Everybody know, laugh all you want, because we know what's coming. I am manifesting for my friends. Excuse me, prime time manifesting.

He's manifesting. This is the time. Today's the day. Tonight's the night. Kirk Cousins.

Minus Justin Jefferson is going to go out and show everybody what's what and have a shot in this division. See, that's the problem, Rich. I guess he's not there. I get it.

I get it. No, Justin Jefferson. But you got Addison.

It's not like you're weaponless. I mean, T.J. Hawkinson. It's still de facto national tight end weekend. And you got Kittle on the other side. I understand.

Go do it. You're home. San Francisco's on the road on a Monday night. You're home. They're not. They lost.

You didn't. Let's go. That's what's at stake. Let me take one more phone call here. Sean in Fort Worth, Texas. What's up, Sean?

Rich. Tell us. I've been listening too long to this. Be my first call. Hey, it's all right.

Why'd you wait? Better welcome to the party than never. I I did want to help Robin out here a little bit with with who have the dolphins played. I know who they played. No, I think you know the names, but you're not paying attention.

See, here's the thing. We did beat the Chargers. We scored thirty six on the two scored thirty one on them.

Okay. We played the Pats. We beat them at their house. Yep. And then they beat the Bills. Yep.

In their house. Yep. We played the Broncos. That's right.

70. Yeah, enough said. Sean, Sean, you got to finish strong because you're you're you started strong. You lost a little steam with the Broncos. Finish up strong, Sean, in Fort Worth.

Finish it up. Giants would have beaten the Bills. We beat the Giants. The Giants would have beaten the Bills if there had been a sky judge.

Oh, and we beat the Panthers. Everybody's doing that. Yeah. Sean Fort Worth, everybody. Call back, please. First time. Is he going transitive property?

You know, if there was a sky judge is a very long stretch. It was fantasy football. How about this?

How about this? Beat the Chiefs. Yeah. Beat the Chiefs.

Go to Germany. Beat the Chiefs. Yes.

Then we'll stop talking about it. Yes. That's it. No home field advantage. All you got to do is just travel halfway around the globe and beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

But then I'm going to say, man, do it at Arrowhead. Okay, very good. This guy's moving them posts. All right. And that guy is that guy.

Push him back. All right. Let's take a break. A rich eyes and show fantasy basketball. Baby, let me grab my name tag draft lottery. We don't use ping pong balls.

We use the mini prices right wheel that I got off of Etsy about three weeks ago. Let's do it. That's next. Do not miss this.

This will be fun. Susie Schuster and Amy Trask present offbeat conversations and expert sports commentary as they ask, what the football? When my family found out how long it took me to figure out why Charles Woodson named his wine intercept, they said there's a reason that you had trouble in school. You know, not everyone knows, you know, what I think about a little intercept. They don't know that I play football. Well, what I've learned is a smooth defensive back can make smooth wine. That's what it's all about. What the football with Susie Schuster and Amy Trask.

The podcast is available Tuesdays wherever you listen. Where did the nickname Showtime come from? My godfather, Troy Hawkins, him and my dad, but really him. They would watch me play and I would make the diving plays and stuff like that in baseball. And they said that I was always it was Showtime when I was on the field. And so they always used to call me Showtime, especially my godfather, Troy. Troy Hawkins.

That is a name I have not heard in a while. OK, Patrick. Look, I appreciate you calling in here greatly. And I appreciate the text exchange that I had with you the other day where you were gentle in rejecting my suggestion to give you a new nickname of the petrol. I really appreciate that. It was it was a good idea.

I just kind of was playing down the nicknames as much as possible at that point. So it's OK. Great. So you're saying you're saying it works for you. No, no, no.

Second use. You're saying that it's not a judgment on the actual creativity of the nickname. It's just you attempting to be humble, tamping down any of the accolades right now because you're focused on winning.

Is that what you're saying? Well, yeah. I mean, just for me in general, I mean, it's all about the football. It's all about the team.

And so I know that the nicknames are cool thing to do with social media and everything that's around right now. But for me, it's all about just being a teammate and someone that's just a part of this organization and a part of a team that wants to win. So if you had an ego, let's just let's just again, let's put it in a box here. You have an ego.

You don't care about being humble at all. You're just you're just pounding your chest. Nickname of the petrol. Do you like it? Be honest. Be honest. Well, I don't know.

There's been so many nicknames that came out lately. And I'm just going to kind of keep it at just Patrick right now. You're being polite. I like how you're being. Thank you, though.

I won it two years ago and Chris Brockman got so upset that I got the first overall pick last year randomly.

I think we all did. OK. We have now devised a way to be fair and square. If you think it's not like I influenced the computer on our fantasy site.
