How's it going? I'm going to get ready to sit around, watch football all Thursday. And if you're listening to this after Thursday, guess what? I hope to be in a food coma so I don't have to see the Jets on Friday. So there's that. But I'll have the coma for 9 a.m. Saturday. And then if you're right, for noon Eastern Saturday, 9 o'clock Pacific Saturday, that's right. And then if Michigan doesn't beat Ohio State, I'll go back into my hole. And NFL Network, on Sunday morning, you'll just see an AI version of me out there.

Hologram? Hopefully they'll give it hair. Not to overreact. Of course not. All right. Here we go. Let's hit it. Hit it.

Let's do it. That was terrible. That was crap.

That was garbage. This place sucks. Overreaction Mondays, Monday. All right, Christopher, let's go. All right, Rich, here we go.

I'll react to you. Right out of the gate, okay? Ten points on Sunday. They're running back is pissed.

He wants to say stuff, but he's not going to say it. I saw people on Twitter calling for Mason Rudolph. The Steelers ineptness offensively is going to cost them a playoff berth. I don't think it's going to cost them a playoff berth. I think that's an overreaction. I think the Pittsburgh Steelers, at six wins entering Thanksgiving week, have at least three more wins left in them. You know what I mean? I don't. They've got a game against Cincinnati that's going to be starting Jake Browning.

Probably better than Kenny Pickett right now. They've got a home game against Arizona. They've got a Thursday night home game against New England. They visit Indianapolis in a game that I could possibly be calling, because that's in the bucket of games for an NFL network, triple header in week number 15 Saturday.

That might be for a playoff spot. They've got a Saturday Cincinnati home date in week 16. They're at Seattle. They're at Baltimore. Of the seven games that they have left, I think that's three. There's at least three wins, if not four defensively.

And then at some point, you know, they're going to have to wake out of their slumber. And I don't know if Tomlin's just going to sit around and stand for it, watch something like a football playoff season go down the drain. I don't think it's going to cost them a playoff berth. I think it's going to cost Matt Canada his gig. And I don't know if Tomlin's going to have the desire to do it during the playing season, but it's not going to be Kenny Pickett losing his job and they're going to turn it Trubisky in the same way that the Jets have benched Zach Wilson to turn to Tim Boyle, which is a nice lump of coal to be delivered by Amazon Prime on Friday. So yeah, I don't think it'll cost him a playoff berth.

I think that's an overreaction. Do you think the Ken Dorsey firing might have broke the seal on other coaches being like, oh, maybe I can do this? Well, I mean, Tomlin has got a certain way of doing things.

And you know, we had Louis Riddick on Monday's show called It's Stubborn. And the Jets aren't going to make a move on Nathaniel Hackett because pulling that code red on Aaron Rodgers' choice of offensive coordinator might not go over very well with number eight as he's trying to get back in time for this season, or definitely is going to be around for next when I'm sure he wants Nathaniel Hackett in place. So there's a certain amount of stasis the Jets are undergoing right now that ordinarily they might not. So I don't think the Bills going ahead and bouncing their guy and having Josh Allen look far more efficient in the first game of Joe Brady dialing it up is going to provide any roadmap or sense of inspiration for others. I'll just call this an overreaction. I think the Steelers still make the playoffs right now. Yeah. There's a lot of, there's a lot of potential, you know, playoff implicating action for them at Indianapolis is definitely one of them. Yeah. That one could be juicy.

All right. Next, Rich. Green Bay yesterday, the Chargers did it again. They went full charger and you know, you never go full charger.

Got a case of the dropsies. That didn't help either, but the Chargers should just do it. Make the coaching change ASAP.

Give Kellen Moore a seven game audition. Man, I hate calling for coaches to be fired. I know I don't want to put you in that spot, but that's, that's my take, not yours. I understand. But me saying that that's not an overreaction would give my check mark to it. Man, that's a tough call. And you know, it was interesting that Chris Long was loath to say this on the show today because he doesn't know if Kellen Moore would be acceptable within that Chargers locker room.

So I'll just say this. If the Spanos and Tom Telesco get a sense of that locker room, that they are tuning out their head coach and that Kellen Moore is a guy that would be listened to, then maybe, just maybe that's a way to save matters for right now. I just, I don't see the Chargers doing that. If the Chargers went ahead and kept them after that debacle of a playoff loss last year and ran it back this year, then a four and six start this year is not going to cause them to do this. And the same way that we saw what the Vegas Raiders did and kind of turn their season in an upward trend. I heard it was such a holy heck of a mess in Vegas that they had no choice but to do it.

Mark Davis had no choice but to do it. Five games decided by less than three points. They've lost all of them.

The Chargers defense is definitely the weakest link. I'll just say this. They may just may do that if they get blasted on Sunday night in front of the whole country. Then it would be a six game audition. So I'll just say right now, whether they should will be an overreaction. Let's talk about it next pod. But you're close. You're sniffing around it.

Yeah, the seats really hot. Because you'd have to sit here and think, OK, give Kellen Moore an audition, see if he can do it. Call the plays, bring in a new defensive coordinator or elevate somebody obviously on the staff and go for it. Because Staley's the guy who's calling the defenses. As we know, the team's very talented.

Herbie's balling right now, but not getting a lot of help. All right, folks, let's talk about game time and let's talk about buying tickets to big time events because it can be worrisome. It can be time consuming and it can be expensive. So game time is the fast and easy way to buy tickets for all the sports, music, comedy and theater events near you.

He's going to be an MVP finalist this year. I think that's a tall order. And you know how I feel about it. He's your fourth son. Yeah, he's got the Holmes and Hertz are going to be two of them.

Yeah. Showdown Monday night. And the question is, who's the third? Tua is probably in the mix.

Hmm. Lamar. You know, CJ Stroud is on the outside.

I think that that kind of deflated a little bit after Sunday's three interception and MVP finalist out of Purdy is just I mean, I've been awesome. I know. Two weeks.

I get it. Let's I'll call this an overreaction for the moment. The next four weeks for San Francisco is when the rubber is going to meet the road. Two games against Seattle to essentially maybe wrap the division wrapped around a trip to Philadelphia. That's it.

And then, you know, a trip to Arizona before Christmas night, Monday night home date against Baltimore. Do it knows, you know, four games. Then we may have something.

You may have something. But I just think that this team touchdowns only five picks. I get it. There's still just too many voters and passer rating. There's too many voters that just can't get rid of the fact that he was the last pick in the draft out of their head.

And they think he's a product of the system. I'll just call this an overreaction at the moment and think that it's entirely possible that we can revisit this in a month because we'll need to see. And at some point, you know, the one part that we talked about again on Monday show was, hey, he's looked terrific since coming out of the by Jacksonville and then against Tampa. He's still in those two games has not had to come up with that fourth quarter comeback drive to win the game, which were the problems for him in the three game losing streak going into the buy. Right. Let's see if he does it in Seattle on Thanksgiving night, Philadelphia or home against Baltimore or Seattle.

Then then we're that's when an MVP candidate is born to go in the same bucket as Hertz Mahomes Lamar. So what else you got over there? I'm just I'm just want everybody to know I don't hate Brock Purdy. I think that's out there. Look at you wearing a cape. All right, Rich.

Yes. Let's get into it. You had a great Jets rant. Can I call it a rant on Monday show?

It was well done. Do you think? Well, I think the Jets ultimately regret acquiring Aaron Rogers. Well, I don't think so.

I don't think so. They had no choice. They had no choice. There were others out there without the baggage of this guy. I don't want to hear about Derek. I don't. Why not?

Because I don't want to hear about Derek. Not when this guy's out there. He was in the ether the entire time. You know, he was. They knew it.

They sensed it. You had to go for it. You had to do it. And they did it. And all that came along with it, though. You had to hire his guy at O.C.

You had to bring it because you had to bring in all of his buddies. You're not expecting his Achilles to pop in Snap five. I understand. But this was a short shelf life to begin with their one criticism. One criticism I have is that what if Aaron gets hurt? There was no backup plan. Well, that was their backup plan was Zach's going to be good enough because it'll just maybe be a game or two games, not the entire season. And then when they had it happen to them their entire season and they had to rework their offense on the fly and try and figure out in the first month of the season where to find a more appropriate backup. When they already had Zach Wilson learning at the knee of Rogers for those months to give it a whirl. And then just as the trade deadline was coming up is when Zach played his best football against Kansas City, beating Philadelphia, going into Denver and winning a game against the Broncos to send them the one and four. So it was the fool's gold just at the time where the Jets might be a little desperate to go and pull the trigger on something. And then they had their shot at Dobbs, one would think, and didn't take it. But other than that, they're not regretting acquiring Aaron Rodgers or regretting requiring Aaron Rodgers's Achilles. And then having no sense of what if he's not available the whole season, why would they think that?

So you got to set everything up for them. So overreaction? An overreaction that they were just sitting around saying we shouldn't have done it. That's 20-20 hindsight being totally crystal clear. What else? I haven't agreed with very much of you said yet.

I know, I don't think you're going to like this one either. Great set up. You know whose seat is hot?

It's hot in Washington. Ron Rivera. Can't lose that game yesterday. The commanders should trade for Bill Belichick right now. They should trade for Belichick right now.

What are the terms? Second. A second round pick for Bill? Yeah.

Sold. If they're going to do it anyway, we heard the rumors, Florio said it, Alberts said it. Do it now? In the middle of a season? Just do it right now. Is there a trade deadline for coaches?

No, there isn't. Do it right now. If you're going to fire Ron anyway and talk about bringing this guy in, what are we waiting for? So then Bill, this is how unworkable it is. Then Bill has to coach with Ron's assistants.

It's Jack Del Rio is his defensive coordinator and B enemies his offensive coordinator. I'm sure there's people out there that would... So Bill would fire them all.

They'd all be on the street, all their families on the street. And then he'd get whoever is from his orbit that would come on in right now. That makes no sense. I'm just talking a one for one swap. He'll keep the coaches, the families, all that. You're right.

I don't like it. But I'd send a two to New England for him. But again, the whole point of this as well is what is their plan? Washington? Yeah. Why would they flip Sweat and Young elsewhere at the trade deadline? Right.

Because they're amassing picks, I guess. I don't think Rivera is going to be there. Okay. I don't think he's going to be there. And I think they're going to start from scratch. Magic Johnson is going to tell someone he ain't going to be there. He ain't going to be there. I don't think that they're going to stand pat. I just don't. I think that they're going to take a complete total new look at everything with the way that they want to do business.

You know, whatever schematically or analytically. And I don't know if Ron's going to be that guy. I think they're just going to come in and burn it all down. How do you lose that game yesterday?

Well, I mean, again, that they're Tommy DeVito. How do you lose the game at home? How do you lose the game as you're you turn it over?

Turned it over. And that's what's going to happen when you got a young kid like like how he's going to try and extend the play. And you got like Wink Martindale just blitzing the guy's head off. I mean, that's the way to do it.

And sometimes you get burned, like Dackle, just burn them like to a crisp. And you got a quarterback who's young like Sam Howell. You know, he might be able to beat you, but you're going to beat him up instead.

And how about this? Saquon Barkley is worth the money. He's a top notch offensive weapon in the NFL, and he's going to win some games. If you got a guy who can take a licking and keep on ticking as your Syracuse orange man turned out to be. But trading for Belichick right now is never going to happen. And by the way, this just has to go this way. If New England and Belichick are going to part ways, it's at the end of the season. Come on, man.

He doesn't deserve to be bounced or sent anywhere in the middle of a season. Like he's Bruce friggin cotlet coslet. You know, you know, like from back in the day, you know, he's not Dick McPherson, bud.

Like this is Bill friggin. I understand. I get it. So overreaction.

It's an overreaction. All right. It's halftime.

You know, down to earth reactions. I have some. We're going to finish. In the meantime, let's sell you some tickets to a sports music comedy or theater event near you.

Positivity, positivity in the second half. Hottest team in the NFL? Your Denver Broncos.

Mr. Unlimited. Broncos country will ride into the playoffs this year. That's an overreaction too. What? That's an overreaction. Come on. Dude, four games, four wins in a row. And then Denver.

Left for dead at one and five. And it's impressive. What they have done is impressive. And what Sean Payton has done is impressive because he did not let this team fall apart when they gave up 70 points and then they lose to the Jets to go one and four.

And then they've won four in a row ever since then. And what they've been able to do, what he's been able to do offensively, Courtland Sutton is back again being a one receiver, right? Jerry Judy, who is talking a ton of smack, talking about how I can't block for everyone. I can't like, you know, sometimes the play's going to be right, but then the blocking's off. Sometimes I'm open and the quarterback is not throwing. Sometimes this happens.

Sometimes that happened. It was not a lot of, you know, his responsibility. Judy is making plays, okay? The running game, despite the Sunday night win, it wasn't working, but it has been working. Russ is, Russ is definitely, you know, looking better. He's checking it down a lot, man.

I think he is making the right decision. He's making a, well, he's making enough moves in the backfield. He's keeping plays alive. Look, he's not throwing for 200 plus a game. I'm sitting next to Kurt Warner and he's, you know, again, he's showing some film. There are some wide open receivers down the field that Russ is not seeing. Interesting.

Okay. You know, and so, you know, there's been, and you take a look at these games there, you know, Russ, isn't how to put up 30. He hasn't put up 35. Defense has been playing awesome. Defense has been playing much better.

Since the 70 point debacle. Take a look at Denver's upcoming schedule. Their game against Cleveland at Houston, at the Chargers, at Detroit, they've got three games in a row on the road after that one at home against Cleveland, the one against new England. I'm calling that game is, is winnable. I think they, they, they can potentially beat the Chargers twice.

They're at Vegas also. And so they, they are playing much better in the fact that they are, they haven't quit. They've got some, they did not quit. It's very impressive, but winning four in a row to get back to 500 means they were climbing out of a hole.

And sometimes more often than not, you expend all that energy and that will eventually tap you out. Okay. So I'm not saying the Broncos don't make the playoffs. There is a huge, as of this taping entering Thanksgiving week, a huge five and five Moshpit in the AFC. Huge, you know, from Cincinnati to Indianapolis, to Denver, you've got the Raiders sitting there at five and six as well. You know, there is a lot going for Denver right now, but to sit here and say, they're making the playoffs, you know, when the Steelers are also sitting there above 500 still and the, and, and the Browns are playing a Denver offense or the Pittsburgh offense down the stretch. I would go with the Denver offense down the stretch because look, who's calling the plays.

Do you believe in Sean Payton or do you believe in Matt Canada? Exactly. All right. So I understand that that may be a heads up situation right there, but there's, there's a lot going on for the Broncos to sit here of Thanksgiving week and say, they're going to make the playoffs. That would be called an overreaction as well.

All right, rich. Have we ever had a pod where every single thing I consider is an overreaction? I actually think you might agree with this one. Wow. Remember coming into the season, it was AFC South. Well they're one playoff team. Right.

And then let's move on. Let's see, you know, AFC North. AFC South is going to get multiple playoffs. AFC South, no, I'm going to call it. Jaguars and Texans are making the playoffs. I mean, I was about to say, what, what, what are the other multiple teams that would come out of the AFC South? I mean, the Colts could go on a run, but I'm saying, we've been saying either or for so long with this division, I think they're both going to make it. I think you're right. I think you're right. I think they're both playing football better than, you know, the other half of the conference.

Yeah. And look Jacksonville coming off the, the lamb basting at the hands of San Francisco last week, I wanted to see how they responded and they really whooped up on the Titans this week. That was kind of big for them to get back on track. And Trevor Lawrence looked really good.

Really good. Calvin Ridgely's back. Yeah. That was Calvin's best game since I called that game in London. Absolutely. And that was week five for them. And that was huge. They really needed that.

I agree. I think both of them make it. And I think Jacksonville could even win in Houston this Sunday. And I know how well the Texans are playing and how well they're playing at home. I think Jacksonville can go and return the favor. Kyler almost got them yesterday on Sunday. So you know, that was good to finish that off, you know, Stroud's MVP train took a little bit of a hit with the three interceptions.

I know a lot of folks are saying that the MVP train took hits because he throw interceptions, but how about the fact that he threw interceptions and bounced back and he didn't go in the tubes. Well, Jared Goff did the same thing. And if we're going to say, Hey, Goff, man, that's a, that's a leader of a playoff team right there.

If we're going to give Goff his flowers for that, you should give the rookie the same flowers for that. So yeah, I think you're right on that one. All right. We hit we're back. We are back. We're back.

I actually want to go for two in a row. I think you're going to agree with this one too. Okay. Even if they get the number one pick in the draft, which it looks likely the Chicago bears, the bears should still stick to the plan, build around Justin Fields and DJ Moore. Um, I'm, I'm, I'm going to disagree with that.

Oh, really? You didn't like what you saw on Sunday out of Chicago. I liked what I saw. Stick to the plan. Then the plan trade down, trade, accumulate pick, acquire assets, and then one, and then one take Barbara Harrison.

Okay. And then, and then maybe you get Saquon Barkley in a trade, or do you just take Caleb Williams and then you, you, you, you, you get some draft assets, not as many for Justin Fields, but you get draft assets for fields. Well, I mean, man feels dude, that is, that is what you're getting. When Justin Fields is, is operating on all cylinders. That's what it looks like Sunday in Detroit. They should have won that game. I agree. He's right. He ran for a hundred yards, dude, throwing dimes to DJ Moore. I get it.

That was a beautiful throw. That's your foundation. Right? Williams is a different cat.

And that business, if he didn't talk to the media, that's a red flag. Just hold onto that. Okay. Sure. I will hold onto that. Take for a second.

This is a wrong take I'm saying at present and overreaction we need to, I mean, the next six weeks are important. I don't know. I bet you, the bears do not know what they're doing right now with it. They don't know.

You're probably, you're probably right. They have no earthly idea how it's going to go and how quickly things were put to bed last year, once the season was over and how they immediately post combine flipped that trade with Carolina. I don't think the trade's going to go down that fast.

There is going to be some serious tape grinding on a ton of quarterbacks. And I think they looked at the three and said, none of the three cause us to want to pitch away Justin Fields, as opposed to amassing the draft picks now to do it again, would be remarkable. It would be gutsy, be gutsy to stay with field because they could still get a pretty damn good player to assist Caleb Williams.

Okay. And they'd still be able to get some draft capital for fields. Like clearly flipping the draft choice that allows somebody to choose Caleb Williams would I think hold the beer of the Bryce Young trade, but it's not as if Fields would not net you a decent amount of draft capital. Well, you're not getting three ones, obviously. No, it's not the same.

But you get a one and a three or four for Fields? You just don't know the way everything is going to go over the next six, seven weeks. And that does matter. We can't sit here and say that for sure of Thanksgiving week, just can't. So I'll call that an overreaction. All right. We just broke up our streak. Ah, we were on a good one.

Let's talk about it again. Well, you're going to disagree with this one then. Someone other than Caleb Williams is going to go first overall. I can't sit here and say that's an overreaction either. I can't say that that's an overreaction.

I think it's insane. But stranger things have happened in this world. And I sat here in this studio years ago and said, there's no way Tua Tungo Vailoa is going to be anything but the first overall pick in the draft. And Joe Burrow came ahead. And at this point in Thanksgiving week, I don't know if LSU had already played Alabama yet. They probably did. They probably had. Like if we looked it up, they probably had. And you were beginning to read me mock drafts like Burrow's going over to it.

I'm like, get out of here. Because all I heard was how special Tua was and what he did to beat Georgia and win a national championship. And he did follow it up with a very nice year, but then got hurt. And so stranger things have happened. Everybody's throwing 60 touchdown passes in college football this year because nobody also has Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson to throw to, which I still can't believe it. I mean, what's crazier?

Didn't they also have Clyde Edwards away or two? What's crazier, that or Ed Orgeron's topless advertisement for some gym equipment? I don't know.

So I think we know the answer to that. It's the Orgeron topless gym commercial. I mean, he looks good, but I think it's nuts. I think when it all comes down to it, Caleb Williams is going to be the first overall pick in the draft, but I can't say this is out of the realm. But to say it without a doubt means you're buying into, well, he's crying in his mama's shoulder. I know you're not personally not buying into that, but you are echoing some of the sentiments that are mentioned about him that causes mock drafts to have him, what third overall pick to the there's third to the Patriots as a fifth to the giant to the giant. Forget it.

I don't know. That would be Caleb Williams dream is to wind up in New York City, you know, my dream to have him in New England out of here. But the sense that he's going to drop because he was soft by crying, you know, on his mother's shoulder and then not talking because he won't talk to the media after losing to UCLA. As I said on Monday show, and I'll repeat it here on the overreaction Monday podcast, any general manager that has a chance to choose Caleb Williams, and then does not because of the aforementioned reasons why he is so-called soft needs to after every Caleb Williams win and their team's losses, meet with the media and say, I chose someone other than Caleb Williams.

Cause I thought he was soft for crying on his mother's shoulder and not meeting with the media after losing to UCLA, like a fantasy football punishment every. Yes, exactly. They wear a t-shirt every single press conference must start with this decision maker saying that in front of the media, you just write it down. It's the same statement they have to read on that person. I'm that person. What else you got said? All right.

Last one, rich. Yes, sir. And this is very important considering who we were just talking about. Look, I know they played twice in a super bowl and bill used to be their DC and everything. This week's Patriots giants game is more important than any of their super bowl matchup. You don't understand this game is so important. I love when you use overreaction topics to get up something off your just, do you have the floor?

Go for it. It's such an absurdity Sunday, such an absurdity this coming Sunday, week 12 post Thanksgiving Patriots giants is the most important game in new England and New York giant history of the match-ups against each other. I'm talking about week 17 and Oh, seven to go 16 and Oh, the super catch that year, helmet cat, the rematch, Mario Manning, Mario Manning habit, I'm on Bradshaw falling down.

I I'm taught more important than all those games because balloon normally it's great for the winner. The loser of this game is in perfect position to take Caleb Williams, Drake, may look Marvin Harrison. It's a three man race for the top of the draft coming next April to good. This is the most important game in each franchises history, the dumbest moment in overreaction history. For winning in week 11, huh? Pat's now the one game lead for the, for the bottom of the draft. Oh, we just need Kyler to just win a couple more games. Kyler. I know you got it in you.

You will got it in you. So this is perfect. Loser loser gets Caleb loser gets Kayla. Unless they sit there and go, wait a minute, the media and we're a media market media market or Vrabel. Whoever our head coach is going to be next year.

Oh my God. Can't wait for Sunday. Best moment in history of this podcast, but I respect it. I respect you using the, the, the platform using overreaction Monday, real estate. The most important game in more important than trophies. More important than any, even the first one against the Rams, more important than beating del homey.

All of them more important. Get out of here. You're not what a moron. Oh, well done. Big finish. Big finish.

All right. Well, my overreaction that I predicted we would be overreacting to this week, you did not use, which is, you know, magic carpet ride for Antonio Pierce is over because it came close. It's not over.

It's not over. Cause they came close. They came close. They gave them a Miami ride and Aiden O'Connell had a, a shot to win it at the end of time.

They played really good defense Tyreek went off, but not enough to put points on the board. I was a little off on it. I did get the general sense of who would win and lose. Yup. And I forgot what yours was.

I think mine was the Steelers are going to, are going to win the North. Okay. That's over. Yeah.

All right. So what are you, what are we going to overreact to for next week's podcast? Here we go. Here we go. After I just called for his job, I think the chargers are going to make the playoffs. That's what we're going to do. Cause they're going to beat the Ravens on Sunday night.

How, how are they going to do that? Well, rich normally in games, you score points. And when you score more than the other, I think they just get it right. I think it's going to be a week, maybe a weird Lamar game. He's going to miss Mark Andrews, not being out there. I think Herbert's going to go silent.

Snap count is half of the Harbor shows up out here, all the Ballmer, you know, Southern California fence. And if he can just get some guys to hold onto the football, this is going to be a really high scoring game. For starters, they're going to put points on the board and it's going to be the same thing. They're going to be down like four with two minutes to go. And we'll see this time. They get it done.

Okay. So the chargers are going to make the playoffs chargers are making the five and six. You're going to say that the Raiders are going to lose. They have, they have, you know, they have a games coming up. They're going to lose trouble. Pal.

They're not cold. Absolutely. Everybody ahead of them loses obviously a stretch, but I'm saying there'll be right back in the mix of that five and six. And here's a future overreaction for week 13 after week 12 is all completed. Two simple words, Kirk, who?

Oh, that's it. Kirk who? The Pastronaut will be in front of the country on Monday night football. The Pastronaut. Is that who they have Monday night game?

The Pastronaut V Justin Fields. And guess who's returning because at that point in time, it's go time for Justin Jefferson. Oh, Jay Jett is his back.

Okay. So he's going to be out there and he's going to find him and everything's going to be working. And you know, there's going to be school chances.

You were so close to beating the Broncos, man. And by the way, Jefferson's got to play. I mean, the window is going to either he returns or he's not right.

So it's time. I think he's going to go and it's all going to be working and the school chance going and it'll be like, they have found their quarterback of the future. And it's going to be, I'm not saying he's won't be, I'm just saying it's going to be the nonstop chatter.

Kirk who? Like signed Dobbs to an extension, Kirk test free agency. Well, they won't do that during the season. But during the nonplaying season, that will be part of the conversation.

I like it. I mean, the quarterback conversations in the in the NFC North will be what we just discussed earlier. What will the bears do if they do in fact have the first overall pick? And I think they will. I think Carolina is going to earn that and for Chicago.

And then the other question will be, you know what about here because you know, Jordan Love I think will cement that he is their guy played really well against the chargers. Right. And you know, Jared Goff is going to obviously maybe take the lines to the Superbowl according to Cooper Eisen. So against the Texans, is that an overreaction Cooper Cooper on the show to give us his overreaction of lines, Texans, Superbowl, Texans, Superbowl, my God, that is an overreaction Monday special super.

I'm raising them. Right.

Peace out. For decades, Rolling Stone has set the bar for entertainment publications today, Rolling Stone music now takes over in podcast form. We have Michael Azerrad, who was Nirvana's very first biographer. I'm not sure how many people realize how many of the best songs on in utero were written way beforehand. To be fair to Kurt, he was also a new father. There was a lot of stuff distracting him. It wasn't just drugs, although that was certainly a major factor. Rolling Stone music now, wherever you listen.
