I feel that we had to go in a different direction. This is the Rich Eisen Show. With guest host, Andrew Siciliano.
Another home run from Il Alonzo. To Ron Homer, Fernando Tatis Jr. Earlier on the show, pro football focused lead NFL draft analyst, Trevor Sycamore.
Lions running back, David Montgomery. Fox Sports college football analyst, Bruce Feldman. And now, sitting in for Rich, it's Andrew Siciliano.
With a big thanks rather to Bruce Feldman, who's exiting stage left state for two segments. No one's better than Bruce when it comes to covering college football. He's got BYU, Arizona this week. Big one obviously on NBC, Oregon and Ohio State.
Got USC and Penn State here as well. We got NFL news as well with Niko Collins on IR and out for the year. With Aaron Rodgers saying he didn't fire the head coach. With Drake May as the new official, now quarterback for the New England Patriots. With Kevin Stefanski, no surprise, saying he's still calling plays. Did not think that was going to happen. I can't hear you, Hoskin.
Say that again. Niko Collins, not out for the year. Out four weeks. Oh, did I say out for the year?
Yeah. I'm sorry. Niko Collins, I apologize. Rewind that. He is out four weeks. Not out for the year.
My apologies. So those are your NFL headlines. But let's get to the Aaron Rodgers thing because a lot of people just said, oh, oh, he fired the coach. He didn't fire the coach. Now, do I think his play and the average overall play of the offense got the coach fired? Yes.
So if you want to say he fired the coach because, well, the offense didn't play well, then sure. But do I think that he ordered the code red? No, I don't. I do not think that. You can call me crazy.
Call me anything if you want. But I don't think that happened. Aaron Rodgers, we now have the audio tape, was on with Pat McAfee earlier today. And here is what the Jets quarterback said. Yeah.
I mean, yesterday was a day that reminds you of the simple fact that all of us who played know all too well. And that said, it's a tough business. It's a beautiful profession. It's incredible.
It's done so much for our lives, but it's also a really tough business. I love Coach Sala. We have a very solid relationship.
We have since I met him in 2021 and had a nice conversation when they came and visited us for joint practices. He was a big reason why I came to the Jets. I felt like the team was a solid team, had a relationship with Coach Hackett, obviously. And I really liked Coach Sala, everything that Matt Lafleur said about him, the few interactions I've had, the times that we went against him. I just had a lot of respect for him.
So he likes him. He didn't fire him. I don't think he did. I really don't think he went to the owner and said, we got to do this. Yeah.
He also didn't go to bat for him either. This is true. This is true. It sure sounds that way. It sounds that way.
I don't know for sure, but it sounds that way. But you also heard the statement from Jets owner, Woody Johnson, referred to in the statement as Ambassador Johnson, that he was fed up and he probably should have done it earlier. That sounds like, I mean, that's what I read with that statement is I probably should have done this sooner. I don't know why I let him coach this year. I'm reading through the lines. To me, that's what the owner said.
Here's more of Aaron Rogers today. As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I'm not going to spend more than one sentence in response to it. And that is that I resent any of those accusations because they're patently false.
And it's interesting the amount of power that people think that I have, which I don't. I mean, they're literally bringing in his friends year after year. What is he talking about? They are bringing in his friends to play football. He does have influence.
I mean, I guess we're playing the semantics game here, influence and power. There is a level of influence that Aaron Rogers has. If he didn't have that influence, the Jets wouldn't have gone out. And let's say, for example, last year, gotten Randall Cobb and Allen Lazard. Now there were others who wanted Allen Lazard, certainly more than Randall Cobb, but yes, they went out and they got his buddies. They did.
Did they fire the coach because of him? I don't think that's the case, but I laid out these numbers earlier. The offensive numbers this year are not dissimilar to the offensive numbers last year through five games with Zach Wilson. Rogers is playing better, clearly. But the overall offensive performance, the numbers are kind of sort of similar. Now, through all of this, I do think it's a bit early. He's two and three.
Salah was. They play Monday night against the Bills. They win.
They have a share for first, a share for the lead first in the AFC East. I think it's a bit soon. But if you're convinced he's not the guy, you know what? Then do it. But you should have done it in the off season. You should have. You should have.
You should have. Because what is Jeff Ulbrich going to do? They've given up 29 points the last couple of weeks, three weeks, last three weeks, 29 points. What is he going to do that's that much different? Rogers said, well, we need guys held accountable.
Okay. Who do you want held accountable? Are there players that you think Ulbrich will bench that Salah would not?
Are there? Is is holding people accountable, taking play calling duties away from Nathaniel Hackett? I don't know that Rogers wants that and give them to Todd Downing. Now, that hasn't happened yet. But the reports are, if you believe them, that they were going to rather Salah was going to do it yesterday before he got fired. I don't know.
Is that the answer? Is that the holding people accountable that Aaron Rogers demands? It's fascinating now because we can already have the conversation. Who's next? Is Jeff Ulbrich?
I hope he does. Because look, I got to know Jeff a little bit, just a little bit. I know Tom probably said the same thing last year at the Senior Bowl. Tom and I covered the Senior Bowl together for NFL Network. I called the game. Tom was on the sideline doing great reporting all week.
Right? Jeff Ulbrich won a lot of people over Jeff Ulbrich's. Cool guy curses a lot if you watch Hard Knocks.
Oh yeah, big time. There's a lot of cursing. Like, Jeff Ulbrich couldn't coach the Bears because they didn't like cursing and Hard Knocks. That wouldn't have been a good fit, but he's with the Jets.
Okay, that works. He's a good coach. He's a good defensive coach. You've heard all the stories. The Niners wanted him to be there, D.C. last year when D'Amico left.
Right? He's a good coach. But if they don't make a run of the postseason, let's say they don't make the postseason because Jeff Ulbrich, is he going to snap his fingers and fix the offense? Let's say they don't make the postseason. Who's your next Jets coach?
Go ahead, say it. Mike Vrabel. Mike Vrabel is a decent choice.
Consulting with the Browns now. Yeah, why not? It's not going to be Bill, even though that would be pretty fun. Why not? Why would he say yes to that? What are his other offers? Well, there's going to be at least six, seven other openings. That's what we thought last year. He would have all these offers. There was really only one serious conversation, right?
Yeah. It was with Atlanta. Look, I'd hire Bill Belichick, right? As coach, more so than GM. I think Bill's done great on the TV media side thing. There's a lot of Bill Belichick content right now. I mean, he went from a guy barely giving complete sentence answers in press conferences to now on every imaginable media platform there is, right?
Every last one of them. And he's entertaining. And there he is when he was visiting his son, Steven, who is the DC for Jed Fish and the Washington Huskies. That's when he was visiting. I happened to be in town that actual day, that same day.
I was covering the Seahawks that day for Sirius XM NFL radio. Yeah. And by the way, congrats to Jed for that big win over Michigan. Sorry, Rich. Yeah. Bill Belichick to the Jets.
I know there's a lot of animus there. Why not? Unless he says, I don't think we could win with Aaron Rodgers, would that be it?
If we could win with Aaron Rodgers, would that be fascinating if that happened? But if you're Woody, forget Bill wants it. If you're Woody, you have to make the call, right? Oh, you have to. Yeah.
Previous ownership, right? Just, just move on. Yeah. Just move on. Have to call. You've got to make the call. Gotta have to definitely make the call.
Vrabel Goodwin as well. Sure. Absolutely. But you have to make the call. The question is, is Aaron Rodgers back?
And the question is, do you have to go get, and this is a long, we're a long way from this. The Jets still have a good team. They have a talented team. They still have Aaron Rodgers, a quarterback. Who am I to doubt whether or not this team can A, make the playoffs or B, get in and do something in the playoffs. I think they can certainly make the playoffs and I think they can make some noise with Rodgers. You're going to bet against him in January?
Packer fans stop. I would like to see it. Yes. Sure. You've made a lot of money betting against Aaron Rodgers in January.
I know. I would like to see it, but let's assume it isn't Jeff Ulbricht next year. Does the new coach want Aaron and does Aaron want the new coach? And then does it become a, well, do we really want him back or do we just dare him to retire right now? And do we hire a coach that we think is better for the team moving forward long-term and go find another quarterback, whomever that is, they're not going to be in position. Look, regardless of what you think of the Jets season, unless Rodgers gets hurt, they're not going to be in a position to draft one of the top guys. They're not. They're going to be in that no man's land.
You'd have to think right in the middle or right in the, like the, the, the low twenties where they're not going to be in position to get one of those guys that Bruce Feldman was just talking about that could be a franchise changer at the next level. They're not. So then where are you? And I, I know this is way down the road here, but you have to, you have to start thinking about that stuff. Don't you? Yep. Yep. Absolutely. Also three now, three coaches fired after losses in London.
Everyone thinks it happens all the time. It really doesn't. Can you name the other two? One of them is easy.
Go ahead. No, you I'm asking you, can you name the other two? I don't there.
I mean, I, they're probably on the top of my head. Who did urban get fired after one? No, he did not. He got fired after Columbus. Well, other things.
Yeah, go ahead. What one of them is Dennis Allen, Dennis Allen. And to be fair, joking aside, he was not fired immediately after the Columbus thing, but Dennis Allen with the Raiders, his first head coaching job fired on the plane or on the way home or after they landed, whatever the other one, the other one, you're probably not going to remember Joe Philbin.
Ah, yes. So he is now the third coach, at least by my memory, fired immediately, immediately after a loss. So are we keeping tabs on Doug Peterson? Is that what we're saying? Well, they won last week. I'm, I've seen them in person this year, week two, they didn't look good.
There's a lot going on there. I mean, the owner came out shot con and said, this is our best team time to win. And he said, well, I've never said this before. I'm saying we're a really good team and we're going to win.
Right. And Trevor Lawrence looked, looked good last week. Looked good last week. Yeah, he looked good last week. He kind of stopped me when he made Joe Flacco, you know, look like a hall of famer.
Correct. The previous couple of weeks, Trevor Lawrence, I thought looked good. They've had injuries. Evan Engram pulled a hammy week two pregame.
That was an interesting situation, was there for that. He was not on the list of inactives. Inactives have to come out 90 minutes before the game. He was going to play, but he then pulled his hammy.
And the Jaguars, from what I understand, like, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, can we swap a guy out? I'm like, not too late. Like you're, you're past the deadline.
You've already submitted. Yeah. Like we already know who's up and down. So they had to play without him that day. Browns beat him.
The Browns only win of the year. And the Jaguars have had to survive without him. They've had injuries on the defensive side, Tyson Campbell, their best and highest paid corner. Darnell Savage is safety. Former Packer was out for a while. The Jaguars today opened up the 21 day window for Tyson Campbell to come back in. Yeah.
They have issues as well. Who do you go to if you get rid of Doug Peterson? Press Taylor, the offensive coordinator, the offense has had plenty of issues.
Who do you go to? I think that's a pretty good bill spot. Not mid season, obviously.
Not an interim basis. Everyone thinks it's a good bill spot. It's in Florida. He owns a house in Florida. Who doesn't, by the way, own a house in Florida these days. If you're in the NFL, coaches and owners included, most notably here.
So yeah, that is a good spot. Do you want the Jacksonville roster? Do you want to go to the Jets and that? I'd rather probably go to Jacksonville.
That's just me. But you're also going into a division with CJ Strad and with Anthony Richardson, or are you going into the division with Josh Allen and Tua? Who knows what the dolphin situation is going to be like.
Yeah. I can't believe we're already at that spot where we're trying to put coaches in spots after only five weeks. And the situation in Indianapolis is interesting because look, Joe Flacco comes in and does what we've seen him do. What we saw him do last year, he comes in and he stands in the pocket. He doesn't move much. He's going to throw some picks, but he's going to throw some darts as well.
Going to put up big numbers and score touchdowns. And Anthony Richardson can't stay healthy. I love the kid and I think he's got a bright future, but it is a legitimate concern. And that is unfair to him a bit. It is, but it isn't.
A lot of it's bad luck. He hasn't played a lot of football. He hasn't played a lot of football. Like we were talking before about Dylan Gabriel, right? Bo Nix, same thing. Dylan Gabriel, if he finishes the entire season healthy for Oregon, and like here's hoping he does, will pass Bo Nix and have the most career starts for a college football quarterback. And when he does, it'll still be like three times the number of career starts Anthony Richardson has in the college and the NFL game combined.
That's great. Something like that. Like what'd he start? 13 games in college and only four or five last year. So that's at like 17. He's already banged up this year. He's played less than 20. Right. He's played less than 20.
Dylan Gabriel is going to get to 60. I mean, that's, that's bonkers. Bonkers.
Bonkers. So the amount of experience that certain guys have over others, you have to give Anthony Richardson more time. You got to keep him healthy as well to give him more time. I'm going to make a Trey Lance comparison. We've seen more wow from Trey, from Anthony Richardson than we've seen from Trey Lance when it comes to the NFL game. But Trey Lance came in very little experience in college and then he kept getting hurt.
It looks kind of similar right now with Anthony Richardson. Like I was there last year, the week the week after he got hurt. I cannot tell you how despondent the Colts fans were. This season is over, but Gardner Minshew kept him a flight.
Gardner Minshew kept him afloat and they were fine. They were a fun brand of football to watch because Shane Steichen's a heck of a play caller and they made it interesting. Didn't think it was going to get off on a Colts sidebar here, but yeah, something to keep in mind. Also one last quick NFL note, one last quick one.
One of the longest active streaks of consecutive games in the NFL is coming to an end. It's from a name that many of you have never heard of. His name is Charlie Hewlett. He is the Browns long snapper, has played 152 consecutive games, but he couldn't finish the games. He got a rib injury. He's going on IR. That's almost 10 years. 152 games. He's one of only seven NFL players to play in every game since 2015.
And he is going on IR and the Browns will have a new long snapper this week. Coming up, there are four baseball games today. We'll mention them. Also coming up, the powerless rankings, not the power rankings because they are boring and everyone does them and all they are are just things. They're clickbait for you to argue over. Okay. The powerless rankings are far more fun.

I'll never forget my first big slick when I came here and it was Royals versus Tigers and Gene Lamont strolls out to the third base coaching box. I'm standing in the dugout with the rest of you guys and then you start getting on this gentleman for you didn't do a thing you just strolled out to his position and then you guys start screaming it. Sweet sweet sweet Gene Lamont made the sorry mistake of standing in front of us. The name Lamont is so fun to scream and I didn't realize it until Will Ferrell started screaming hey Lamont see it just rolls and he goes this is bush league Lamont and he just got on him and so when he started we all started and then it just became a never ending ever for the entire ending we would just scream at him nothing terrible because we're not rude and we're not tacky but it was just this is bush league Lamont what are you doing Lamont take that stuff back to Detroit Lamont. Finally I think it was year two of writing somebody had whispered energy by the way there's there's Will Ferrell and these guys are in there and they're giving you a hard time and so he finally because we all we wanted was him to acknowledge us he's I don't know it was like seventh inning of the second he turned around and went like just looked at us and gave him like a head nod and it was as if we won the world series we started screaming and jumping up and down and we were waving our hat in the air we go out and sing the seventh inning stretch take me out to the ball game yeah right yeah and we end it now you know we end the song with Gene Lamont that's not going to happen tonight that's going to happen tonight it happens it's tradition but when he used to come out we used to sing like the the Death Star march like the Darth Vader we'd go Gene Lamont Gene Lamont oh Gene Lamont Gene Lamont Gene Lamont anything we could nothing he gave us nothing but now he's a royal so we embrace him with open arms yeah now it's all about love before it was harassment and I meant ever Del Tufo it's the Rich Eisen Show 23 past the hour um the Rich Eisen Show radio network hi my name is Andrew we're at the Rich Eisen Show desk it is furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry Grainger has the right product for you call or click Grainger.com or just stop by do we want to do the power list now or did you want to do Drake May which well let's hear from Drake May because I think it may actually go right into the powerless rankings Drake May the new starting quarterback of the New England Patriots of New England go ahead you know I think it's a great opportunity you know something you dream of you know getting your first start in the NFL um so excited to get out there with the guys um take advantage of um you know having the full week to get prepared and uh try to put the best for forward to help the team win I think the biggest thing um I was telling some of those guys is you know probably be low nerves in the beginning but at the end of the day I think once we settle down uh we got a chance to you know move the football and just have fun out there back to having fun going out there because that's what this game about don't make it too big or the spotlight too big and uh let's go out there with those guys that should we've been battling for you know three months in training camp um go out there and try to make some plays I'm excited to see it I think the kids fun it was fun to watch in the preseason I don't know if the preseason translates to the regular season when you got D'Amico Ryan's defense coming to town or the four-and-one Texans the one of four Patriots the games in Foxboro but hey look sign me up it makes Sunday that much more fun I think it's the right move I love me some Jacoby Brissett it wasn't working he knew what he was signing up for they were gonna take a quarterback in the top five um time to do it and hate to say it like I told you so but like I told you in August it was gonna happen in October not in September people wanted it week one it was gonna happen in October checks it is October so here we are it's exciting I think this is the most excited uh the fan base has been in five years and that's since the other guy left yeah since the other guy left and I cam Newton had that really good game in Seattle yeah and then he got amazing he played awesome they lost but he was still he had 300 yards and a ton of offense they moved the ball they scored points then he got COVID and that whole season kind of you know went south fast I forgot that season 2020 yeah of course I totally forgot that yeah it went south really fast and after that it's been you know a lot of drag Mac Jones moment yeah it was a moment it was a moment he played pretty well made the Pro Bowl you know like the fourth or fifth guy down the line and you're like okay cool and then Bill hired Matt Patricia and then it was kind of over and so this is exciting now and he's an exciting player Drake May if you watch him in college and watch a little bit of the preseason he's got a big arm he can move uh you know there's Justin Herbert Josh Allen comparisons coming into the draft those are fun but those are names to like get the fan base excited fans should be excited is he going to get his butt kicked a little bit yeah probably yeah but he's going to be able to throw it down field we're going to finally see what Jalen Polk can do and Javon Baker and some of these guys last week well we need to change that rule by the way and uh you know DeMario Douglas will be more involved I got to imagine and so it's going to look different for a couple of weeks and then maybe we'll see what this kid's got it's gonna be fun yeah and at the minimum here's what you have if he throws a touchdown and throws three picks you as a fan base can go hey but that touchdown is really cool and it's something to build on yep yeah absolutely and and it's a different stage in life of fandom to enter yeah but welcome to it and it's great buckle up buckle up I am we'll still we'll still win a Super Bowl before the Jets I have that I can say that 100 percent confidently would you say that would you say that to Rich's face yeah absolutely he knows the Jets have been losers for 50 years and they'll probably be losers for 50 more okay that's the way it goes okay and you know what Jets fans know it too yeah don't disagree did you uh did you see any of Kyle Brand's sit down with Aaron Rodgers on Sunday morning I did not okay on game day kickoff they were on bright and early because the game was in London I understand why you didn't watch it I was on the east coast so I was up and early before before our game you guys were likely asleep it was good it was good Kyle does a good job and Aaron is Aaron you know he's certainly affable in the settings and gives good answers totally um but there's one part of the interview where you know Kyle said hey you had that shot with the towel over your head your shot like making the face and a lot of Jets fans said oh that was when you became a jet that shot of you on the bench the frustration and and everything the fan the fans feel and the franchise has felt and kind of the question was like what is it like living in this now right feeling this now like this this just negativity and just everything that is the the media vacuum and circus and jets negative all that right I texted Kyle and I did so in other words here was the question man jets fans suck don't they what's it like having to play for them and we had a funny exchange I won't say what but you don't say I'm not hiding anything but that was kind of the question and Aaron gave a good answer right but hey welcome to that that is kind of what you're in now and that's you know what other teams except that we have six rings and they have one as well do you want to do your a powerless round oh let's go let's do it let me pay attention for a moment and now it's Brockman's power less rankings are no fun no fun it's Wednesday normally rich does his power rankings and then tj we heckle him and have a lot of fun kind of telling him where he got it wrong everyone's power rankings come out on Wednesday these are way more fun yeah our less rankings this is the bottom 10 no everyone wants to talk about the the 10 best I'm gonna give you the 10 worst glass is half empty the glass is more than half empty the worst teams in the NFL number 32 I watched them every single Sunday the New England Patriots oh you couldn't beat that dolphins who played quarterback for the dolphins last week I don't even remember and I watched the game wasn't Skyler Thompson no Snoop Hundley I think Snoop Pro Bowl quarterback Snoop Hundley of course so is Mack Jones okay all right 10 points it's all you can score against those guys the Patriots are terrible this is why we have to go to Mack Joe Mack Jones but we have to go to Drake May they wear the same number and it's gonna be more exciting but right now we're 32 31 look he's got the bag you have great hair Andrew Andy Dalton has great hair but the panthers are 31 I'm sorry okay okay number 30 another guy with great hair great physique will love this the titans are 30 they're terrible he's still the the quarterback Brian Callahan said that this morning well he's on he's on bench watch he's Trevor Simeon added to the practice my goodness every week he does one of those either with a clip from a few weeks ago or he was like what the f are you doing right what are you thinking yeah come on man he has one of those in every game every single game against Miami on the opening possession where you're like what what are you said before you're looking at you never go full match job he has a pick six in like every game and what we've also said before this is what happens when you eat mayonnaise but I mean I granted that's a bit but still don't do it don't even joke about it number 29 Andrew you see the this team every week as well the Cleveland Browns I'm not gonna put you in an awkward spot no it's okay I'll answer to it but it's been really bad DeSean Watson has been really bad he probably should be benched for Jamis hopefully Nick Chubb comes back soon Amari Cooper stopped dropping the football it's been bad the Browns are 29 all right let me say this and I've said this before the Browns have a lot of talent on the roster the Browns have more talent on their roster than the other teams that you have just listed I think that's true okay and I do think they have the ability to turn it around and I think the Browns have had more good moments more flashes of right there's that team that I saw last year this season they simply haven't strung together many of those moments I think they can but I understand where you put them they only have one win and they only have one way yeah that you are what your record says you are as somebody once said also we're friends we've been friends a long time I'm really proud of you and proud of the opportunity and the job you're doing I appreciate it's really I love it thank you number 28 I'm watching this team every week Sunday on TJ because I have Trevor Lawrence and Fantasy and I have Brian Thomas Jr. and Fantasy he's awesome Brian Thomas by the way that's holy he hasn't seen him in person as well as it is the real deal he is a one and can we ask how would Jayden Daniels and Brian Thomas and Malik neighbors how did they not how did they yeah how did they lose Joe Burrow had all those guys TJ right on the Heisman Trophy had all these great wide receivers they went undefeated he threw 60 touchdowns and they won the national championship Jayden Daniels Malik neighbors it looks like three or four games last year I have yeah I've seen all three in person this year I've seen Malik neighbors Jayden Daniels and Brian Thomas in person they are as advertised as advertised and every one of them well Jacksonville has won when Doug Peterson may or may not be fired at some point or after the season and they're number 28 their defense can't stop anybody Joe Flacco looked incredible last week number 27 this is one of your favorite teams as well uh Andrew I have to put the Los Angeles Rams here now I get a lot of it his injury based with the Rams but they should have no wins like they got super lucky against the 49 hold on they won the game I understand they won the game I understand but they should have no wins Matthew Stafford might get traded Cooper Cup might get traded uh you know I've seen mock drafts have them taking a quarterback next year a lot a lot of injuries I get it but the Rams have been tough okay to watch so the Rams had the entire offensive line broken before week one how many times did I say this is injury the entire offensive line was broken it was in a bad state before with suspensions and injuries and then you throw in no Cooper and no Puka I get it yeah I said that multiple times no I know did you okay I did not I kid by the way I couldn't sell it like I I met a conversation for off the air Chris and I both have Rams season tickets we do right I'm not here anymore obviously so I have to sell them a lot I didn't sell them last week no the Packers what are you doing oh I I had them too high and then it's game day and then I get to ask money you're missing out oh you should just give me oh remember I'm I'm a huge fan I'm going every week now okay yeah number 26 really Sarah went last week but we're using them okay that's what I'm getting at number 26 a team that just beat my team the Miami Dolphins and a lot again this is a lot of it Tua injury based but they also do not look good they've had uh injuries on defense Tyree kill like none of their guys are playable in fantasy right now and you can see how much you know the offense kind of relies on Tua being back there and how inept and on on uh they didn't plan when you failed a plan it's a fail it's a plan to fail yeah how do they not have it is institutional failure that they do not have a backup quarterback there the shine has worn off a little bit on Mike McDaniel uh whether that's his fault or just you know Tua going down Tua for MVP man well it's the Peyton Manning argument they hear that uh you know they have the number one pick that your Manning wasn't there uh I'm just gonna put Miami here we all expected better coming into the year rich and I think we did did you have them winning the AFC East TJ as well pretty sure yeah I think all three of us had the Dolph so the fact that they're here says a lot 25 I gotta put the Jets here they're slightly better than Miami because you know look look what's going on we've been talking about for two straight days number 24 sorry Don Bowie uh this team started out on fire 2-0 highest scoring team in the league now losers of three straight gotta put the Saints here you gotta gotta put the Saints here now Derek Carr's out he's out he's gonna be out a couple weeks looks like what you want or Rattler I think you have to go Rattler for the excitement factor I mean you just gave me a face just throw the kid in there no Jake Hayners a year plus in the system yeah Rattler was uh all Jake Hayners star uh Heisman uh candidate he had a nice preseason let me ask you this why wasn't he up on Monday night why are you well you're not expecting Derek Carr to get injured man now he's got a whole week you have to dress now he's got a whole week to go and get ready if he's if he wasn't ready to be the backup on Monday night why is he ready to be the starter this week here's how the Saints should determine who plays okay line Hayner and Rattler up whoever throws it the furthest they get to play because that's what their offense is throw the ball the throws the ball deep to Rashid Shaheed that's the offense and throw it out of bounds if you mean to throw it out of bounds actually throw it out of bounds not two yards short so the guy in the Chiefs can make a one-handed pick Brian Cook it was it was a sick play yeah all right number 23 they're here only because they have one win I actually think they're much better and can still make the playoffs and Joe Burrow might be MVP I gotta put the Bengals at 23 their defense is absolutely brutal they're like uh let's see a conspiracy theory to have the Chiefs win every game flag away from the win there uh they a holder who can't get the ball down that's a win there they could have three or four wins they're a good team but I gotta put them 23 just because they're on one and four so Joe Burrow has the best numbers ever basically he's ball hold on for a team that opens one and four uh my boy Tony absolutely NFL network research NFL research um he had that note on Sunday basically and listen I mean we're cherry-picking stats here sure but if you look at quarterbacks who have been on one and four teams you can make a very strong argument he is the best one and four quarterback of all time if you have Burrow and and Chase as a stack in your fantasy oh my god they score must have scored 80 points last week anyway that's the powerless rankings guys you're gonna hear a lot of power no I'm powerless the bottom 10 bangles saints jets dolphins rams jags browns titans panthers patriots okay so they don't have the power is that what you're saying they don't have the power at the moment dude how many versions who's your favorite singer of the power there are multiple versions can you name all the versions I can't name any of them really snap is definitely the one that everyone knows I'm the I'm the youngest person in this room are you yes I don't know your 70s references even better I was like 10 and you would hear that song at like every bar mitzvah you went to you probably didn't go to bar mitzvahs in Maine okay like there's the chill rob g version yeah and snap chill rob g's at the second yeah is it the power how do I google who this band is it's getting kind of hectic it's getting it's getting kind of hectic okay okay I know that chill rob g I was a music person both of those on vinyl because I did when I was a DJ there you go that's them I got the power that's all right I've heard that never mind never mind okay I mean come on I'm back I just do want it on the record I'm the youngest person in this room am I the oldest I definitely am well you're obviously T.J. I mean you don't even know how old I am and we know you're older than T.J.

shovel round it was a painful one bang the bass turn up the treble there you go radical mind day and night all the time 714 wise divine maybe I bring that quick as the game I'm the lyrical Jesse James and I hit the running man back in the day that's a big club song for me how often though do you have songs like that that are recorded like almost identically by different artists you know there's not many times I can't think of other ones because there was another song around that era and I can't think of who it was that did the same thing with the power ah man I can't remember who it is was it a Shabba Ranks was it a Shabba the Ranks was it a reggae ah man let's we have to have we have to google this I can't remember okay as I mentioned because we're getting old as I mentioned there are four

and i had the game on another tv that's my new thing i'm playing madden all the time now to get ready for games yeah so here's what i did true story um did a couple college games for nbc i did the boise state oregon i did uh ohio state michigan state obviously that that's a lot different than from the nfl where you pretty much know all the rosters in your head right so to to learn this to learn all the college numbers i got college i got first of all i bought an xbox i hadn't had one in years and years and years and years i got the xbox and then i got college football never too late plugged it in i'm like oh cool i could you know learn these teams and these rosters heck of a lot better yeah got kind of got the idea was talking to tyler locket name dropper um back in august and he was talking about how so many of the younger players when they come in now they they've learned playbooks they've learned coverages right they've learned terminology from playing madden as kids and it's a different generation different way of learning i'm like i'm gonna do that for college football so went out and i did that and then i'm doing it for madden as well last week deshaun watson threw seven touchdowns and the browns beat the commanders 70 to 7. oh wow when i was playing on madden maybe you should be the play caller i was also on rookie no no kevin savanski is the play caller he's good at his job i can't do that i was also playing on the rookie mode right amaria 300 yards receiving it was great he caught the ball i'm really good i'm really good now i don't play online i don't play against other people i just sit there in my basement and play you know just me you got a basement um like the lower level oh yeah i wouldn't call it a basement i don't have like an in-ground basement we really don't have those here in not california i would call it a downstairs okay how about that yeah there's the up and the down so like down it's right there's a man cave elevator in your crib because there's five floors yes he's not expecting you to have there are many people in my neighborhood that have elevators i do not i am not in any way a person who has a house that needs an elevator anyway baseball is about to begin uh it is a uh feeling by the way quadruple header how you feeling as a fan of the guardians i i am feeling okay uh i did not feel okay on monday night um i do not like the idea that you bring in classe to get the out in the eighth and then he has to sit there even though it's a pretty quick top of the ninth or i'm sorry bottom of the eighth um to have him go out there for the top of the ninth yeah look he got the first two outs it was over and i i would have been every dollar in my pocket although i don't bet and i don't have much cash these days who carries cash that if the guardians got to the bottom of the ninth inning in a scoreless game they were going to walk it off they still believe this if we go back to the simulator right sure that would happen if you played it again uh i feel fine honestly i do um they're the better team but that doesn't mean much that is one one that game has alex cob pitching for the guardians yep don't know about that i kind of want ben lively here or even blake lively but that's just me not on the roster neither at 208 phillies and mets dj game four the mets with a chance to close out to knock out i don't ask for the not so fighting fills tj your thoughts uh look man i i've been saying this all year max sherzer basically told us last season that the met's as an organization we're giving up on 2024 as a season in a hole right i had no expectations starting the season we start off 0 and 5 it's just a mess and then this big purple lovable son of a gun oh come on you are not actually getting grimace yes he is he's on the seven train you saw him he's on the side of the seven train yeah he turned the season around man and you can pinpoint a specific moment in time which in this case it's very true when this guy took the mound and throughout that first pitch and everything changed man and i i don't want to get too high or too low but sometimes in sports i think we've all witnessed this that sometimes it just seems like the story's already been written yeah and we're all we're just reading it look at my man grimace this has been so much fun normally the met's have been bad in previous years that basically they've ruined my summers like i had no interest in baseball they kept me interested and i'm just i i'm amazed and now are you amazed by the amazins i am amazed by the amazing and and i feel like we've got a chance to go far and why not man why can't we do this i mean look at this he's on the wrong hand and you're wrapping your hopes around a mcdonald's giveaway toy mascot on a heater on the heater uh jessie winker right now on a heater he is man he's just doing it and and i'm doing it well you know what i'm gonna make a bet i'm gonna make a bet chris you know i don't normally do this i'll just say this andrew siciliano and i don't want to even say this oh you're about to should i not say are you guaranteeing a win no not guaranteeing the win i'm going to give you a reaction in case they do win if the new york met's somehow uh win the world series this year oh baby i am going to get a tattoo oh of grimace of some form of grimace in the next logo shut up somewhere yes i'm going to my man g spot my man g in the north hollywood's my brother i'm gonna have him tattoo grimace and some version of the met's logo whether it be the ny but if we win yes i will do it and you have to tell us your age that's not part of the deal come on that's irrelevant no but i'll do it really do you have a mr met tattoo anywhere i don't okay i don't i only have one so far but i'll make this number two if these guys go let's go tj you can do this when it gets by buckner did you get a tattoo well i was way too little okay i was there like you know honestly guys i think i might have
