Gwynn & Chris On Demand
9.5.24 Gwynn & Chris Hour 1: Padres walk it off!
Welcome into another edition of Gwen and Chris happy Thursday to you said Diego Tony Gwen jr. Chris Hello match gravy. What do you know for nando second game back gets his first walk off hit and For the big cake man. Yeah. Yeah, you definitely gone for the big cake He had his jersey shredded off of them as they celebrated it with great joy and Padres with a chance to sweep here tonight 540 start Martine Perez Casey my's on the mound for the the Tigers and Chris Padres I mean they kind of again showed off why they are having so much success this year In that ballgame last night. Yeah, this is the party that won't they won't end right now Tony I mean it it started right after the all-star break with that, you know long-winning streak and you know The celebrations continue and you know look again. They get down five nothing in the ballgame early last night Nobody anywhere who's followed this team thinks that the game is over least of all the players in that dugout The bullpen does what it always seems to do now Pitches shutty for six or seven innings gives the offense a chance Jackson Merrill does what he seems to do every night Get some back in the game man. He does what he's been doing for two and a half months and ties the game and Frankly the pottery should have won the game a lot earlier than they did They had the crazy mishap with Peralta falling down at second base. I don't anybody's ever seen that one before That kept him from scoring. I would have been a sacrifice fly You had pro far hit a three-run homer just a few feet foul You had a rise hit a bases loaded double just a couple of feet foul You had Manny hit a line drive with the bases loaded right into the glove. So, you know, they I thought you know They just kept on coming Tony. I mean they you know They just kept on coming they were relentless and you know when it got down to the last inning, you know There goes Fernando and he was just the chosen guy last night because we all have a feeling if it comes down to it today It might be somebody else and we won't be surprised It's just a it's a great time to be a Padre and a Padre fan. It really is Yeah, you know it chances are if it comes that it will be somebody different. That's what we've seen all season long. I mean it's It's funny how much of a difference a year can make I mean if it if the Padre team last year had the bases loaded twice and didn't get anything out of it Right you would have it would have been doomed and you would have felt it in the in the building But you're right. It's the exact opposite now. It doesn't matter what the score is five nothing eight nothing There's a chance the Padres are gonna chip away and then have a big inning and then next thing You know the right back in it and that pretty much was the formula last night, right? I mean they got down by five they got two back and then Jackson action Jackson goes oppo taco And then you know it's a five-five ballgame and then from there it almost felt like Detroit was the one that was on on borrowed time from that point on because it was it just seemed like the In the 10th inning They get the runner to start the sixth the the 10th at second base first guy makes a Grounded out. Yeah, ground it out doesn't move and you know and you don't get that that first out happens and the guy doesn't move You could just see you could feel the percentages. Yeah, sure. Just go down and sir enough Padres put themselves in a similar position and once again the depth of this lineup Had it it bared fruit in a major way. I mean AJ Hinch had to make a decision Do I want to face the league leading hitter in baseball or in the National League or? Do I want to face Fernando Tati Jr. He's probably way. Okay, Fernando. He ain't really looked at great And is it bad so far? He's been out since however long this guy's been hitting all year I'll take my chances with Tati and as it turned out wrong answer It probably would have been a wrong answer either way he went at that point and that's what that's with the depth of This lineup can do to any manager moving forth. Yeah, I said on a tweet this morning It was aimed at my favorite people out there all of the analytics People and I don't think I called him analytics people. I think I was a little you were a little harsh you said But when I said it out I sent it out and I said look my whole point was not that AJ Hinch made the wrong decision last night Because I agree with you Tony He was damned if he did damned if he didn't and he could even walk Fernando And then he would have still had to deal with you know Jerks and pro far is at a magical season with the bases loaded and draws a lot of walks himself So and there was almost no way out for AJ Hinch But the bot the my point in my tweet today and I'm bringing this up because it seemed to create us quite a stir online It was the fact that the Padres have the team now to be able to put an opposing Manager in that kind of a pickle and there aren't a lot of teams that could do it now If there was a runner in second and Soto was coming up and judges on deck That's one of those examples where you're in trouble, but a rise is such an Unbelievable line-drive base hit guy He's so good in fact that you you absolutely can't take your chances with him well because look in that situation What do you want most? Yeah, you want to strike out over the strikeout as you guys are struck out in like 90 plus at bats Yeah, so you're not gonna get it. Yeah, and so you make the decision at that point to put him on and listen You like again you do damn do you don't I know anybody who's in Toddy's position is taking it personally So that really wasn't news right like anybody who has somebody walk in front of them You're like okay. I got you. I'm gonna make sure you pay for this everybody that doesn't matter What's your name is you're feeling that way? And so the fact that the Padres have You know in their pocket That type of lineup where you got a rise a Toddy a pro for a manny Croninworth of bogey like you got to pick your poison and that that the obviously the higher you are in the lineup The more potent the poison is and AJ Hidge found out the hard way Yeah We were talking about the pottery lineup on the round table today earlier And I brought up the point because you've been bringing it up Tony that Mike shilt has got to be the happiest manager in the history of baseball Because we all know that it has been his dream since day one to be able to have a lineup that goes left right left right left Right left right and that's what the Padres now have the only time they have two consecutive right-handed hitters is in the eight nine spot Yeah, and somebody brought up you know on the round table. I said well, you know, that's kind of the one area You know where maybe the Padres or you know, they have seven great, you know dangerous hitters and then two Kind of weaker spots. Well, you and I talked about this yesterday Be careful about the weaker spots because the catching position is combined for 24 home runs and 83 RBI's this year Yeah, you know, so I don't even know that those are weak spots That's this lineup is is a killer right now for teams. That is a Greedy argument right there because who who who in baseball are we talking about eight nine? That's right. That has any name me another eight nine guy. Yeah, as a matter of fact if you can't name any of them So like I mean you're at the bottom of the lineup because you're at the bottom of the lineup I mean it's kind of is what it is, but yeah, I'm not trading Kyle How some Kim will be the other guy when he gets back right and it's how son's gonna be one of them down there pretty soon like Knock it off and he won through seven legit eight nine do their jobs Yes, and that's which that's what you need and whether it's campy whether it's Diaz whether it's Hey gosh, Yoka Whether it's Mason or Kim There aren't gonna be too many eight nines that you're gonna find this kind of production for you're just not and so And that just speaks to the depth of this lineup and you're right Kim is not even there He gets a little bit lengthier when he comes back. Yeah, no kidding and the other thing that we've already I mean we're you know these shows are getting a little more difficult there more difficult there Yeah, and I'm finding it more difficult there to talk They're getting harder and harder to do because I'm trying I'm running out of ways to singes you know, and I think everybody kind of around town is but They're bullpen Tony again You look at how many what are they up to 35 36 come back wins now? That's the fourth win they've had from five runs down, which is you know tops and baseball or right there You can't come back if your bullpen doesn't give you a shutout innings all the time And once again, they did it last night Um, so darvish's start, you know earned to me as a full success. I I know he didn't pitch well But he pitched two and two thirds innings he got out there. He got back on the mound He pitched and they won the game. So I I couldn't be happier about all of it There's there's no question that it was a success from you darvish I said from the very beginning. We we should I didn't have any expectations because his his What is it what i'm but his his time off was different than then then yes joe's right and he came back Way faster than joe did like way five joe was like a methodical Build-up like he went from like breaking down his mechanics to playing like flat ground catch flat ground long toss Then he got on a mound through a couple of those then he did a rehab start right As far as I know, you know, you might have been doing things on his own when he wasn't here But when he got here he threw a bull pen he threw a semia couple simulated games and then boom He was here So like i don't know that you could have had high high expectations, but he got through it healthy Saw some his velocity was fine. He looked a you know a little rusty with the breaking ball I mean, I think that's to be expected. He looked a little rusty with command I think that's to be expected all in all success and then you go into the bull pen and outside of yuki who threw 25 pitching pitches and an inning and a third Everybody else was pretty much at 20 pitches and they all threw up zeros Whether it was peralta who had a nice Come back or nice. Uh, welcome back from the iL You had more than home. You had scott. You had out. You had forage. You had a strata I had it was like a spring training game. I love I like ran out of pitching spots on my uh On my card. I had to like make one up. What did they call us last night? They were all they were all zeros when it all said and done. I know and by the way for his, you know Whatever you might think of detroit, they have the third best Pitcher pitching era in the american league. So like padres did that against a good Some good pitching, you know, it's a little unorthodox. They don't they use openers and things of that nature But all in all that's that's a pretty good staff. They have over there Yeah, padres are you know, they're just playing amazingly well right now and it's it's so fun to be a part of the one thing that You know, I caution and I have to do this Because we've all lived in san diego for as long as we've all lived here It's not that i'm expecting the other shoe to drop It's the fact that it is still baseball tony and the game the game will punish you If you don't mind your peace and cues And so to me, you know, the the thing that has to be incumbent on the padres right now is continue to play good solid ball You know continue to execute continue to the things right Because the Mets and the Braves and the diamondbacks are not going away, right? So you got to keep your nose, you know, the the focus ahead in the right spot. I believe mike shilt I think the players are all doing that We're all getting carried away here in the media and I think some of the fans are But as long as the padres don't get too carried away with themselves You know, they're going to be fine here the last 21 games I think you can hear that in like some of the smaller messages that mike shilt puts out When he does the scrum, right? You're asking them about a off day. He's not going to dive into the off day He's gonna say yeah, it was nice to have off day, but we're ready to get back here It's what he said yesterday as a matter of fact He said yeah, it was nice to get back home and get the off day But you know, we're ready to go today, you know He's those are like subliminal messages right because it gets put out on media and they those guys see it They hear it and it's just a message like all right Yeah, we're we got the off day But it's back to business and he does that kind of stuff in those pressers or those scrums often I've started to notice a little bit more and I think that's because he recognizes the the diamondbacks the braves the meds They really going nowhere like this has been like this for a little bit now It means since outside of the times where the meds came here and the padres beat them Um, they've all all those teams we just named have continued to play good baseball That's they have and I am in a lot of ways even though part of me says it would be great If they would just leave us alone and fall out of the race No doubt it might be the best thing for the padres, you know I just keep yourself going Stay focused keep taking care of the job at hand and the task in front of you Because you want to just keep this thing going forever if you can and Right now, there doesn't seem any reason why it won't go on Yeah, right now the padres are They really are doing a lot of the things that you need to do in order to be successful Hey, they're 19 games over 500 Tony last time that happened Your team 2010 How about that? Yeah, we didn't get to play Oh Y'all you know what i'm saying though. It's been 14 years since they've been this this much over I know exactly what you're saying is this kind of consistency does not has not come often Um for for the padres I mean even the year that they got to the world series that team was on pace to win 100 and then they had a just a Trocious September and ended up short of that but nonetheless the padres are in a good spot right now We got more baseball on the way in a fail though opens tonight chiefs Ravens Mahomes Jackson who should be should be a lot of fun. Toe meets leather tonight people Toe meets leather. Let's go. I mean leather meets leather That too. We'll get into all of that. We plus we got our AFC uh Was it? You know, it's AFC South and AFC North we talked about it before the show We've already done the NFC. I forgot i've confused this entire NFL thing a little bit You have welcome to welcome to this great world. All right more going to chris on the other side I welcome back to winning chris. Tony Is in and out today with the weird start time He's got to get down there and talk to players talk to mike shilt get ready for the broadcast he and jesse you'll have it for you An hour earlier tonight so uh keep that in mind a 540 for the first pitch sam levitt's equal water So kalpry game show at 440 until then it's winning chris chris hello Tony and jr. And matt scrabie. We've got a pardry lineup Well, I guess we'll give it to you right now. I was gonna say hang on a second, but that's fine No, let's go. We'll go to the lineup and then we'll get into what What we want I want to really talk a little bit about yesterday because everybody did uh an amazing job yesterday Not at buffalo wild wings, but since scrabie played the organ music. I did. Yeah, we'll give you the lineup it's pretty much the same as last night except for one change which I think people will find interesting arises leading off again tatisse profar machado konanworth boghart's meryl and as I said to tony as tony said to me I don't know another lineup in the major leagues where you just perfectly go left right left right left right left right But they do Uh, but batting eight today is not uh kylie gashyoka and it's not luise campusano he lies ds will make his Not his padre debut. He debuted last night Uh in the extra innings grounded out to third base played some defense. He will make his first start as a padre Uh this evening. There's a lot of people right now at least some I mean based on what happened last night campusano God bless him, but he had a tough night behind the plate. He did Uh, you know boxing balls and runners advancing And he just has not been swinging the bat really ever Ever since he got hurt and hagashyoka took his spot and now campusano getting you know Two or three games a week and he just hasn't done much There's a lot of people who think campusano may not play again or play very much again the rest of the season because ds is here Well, we haven't that's the thing is like how do we know that ds is gonna be better? We don't we don't ds ds couldn't make the Rockies. I thank you So I don't know, you know, just keep that in mind the Rockies are You know, and I know they had a young catcher that they brought up and but ds is defense You know has dropped off from what I understand In colorado, uh, his hitting hasn't been anywhere near as good this year as it was last year when he was an all-star So look I hope ds comes up catches fire, right? I mean it's gonna help the padre's But you know, I still think there's a little there's a little something left in campusano I don't know if mike sholt can find it, but I hope they don't completely give up on him It looked I felt bad last night. It looked bad. It did it just there's no other way to say it Uh hosan kim is not yet back. So mason mccoy's batting night at short stop It really opens my eyes to like we watch baseball All day every day for a very long time. Yeah, and it's not often you see a catcher missing balls like that You can't do it at the big league level. You just can't. I mean if it's a catchable ball You you can't miss it and have a runner advance Next guy gets a bloop single and they score because you couldn't catch the ball Uh, I've been sticking up for campusano as much as I possibly could all year long I know the team really, you know, the organization has believed in this guy And you know he started off the season like a house of fire is hitting over 300 the first month and a half Yeah, but it just hasn't gone for campusano and maybe he's the perfect guy for a reset I don't know. I don't know but right for now. It's gonna be hagashyoka and maybe elia elias dias dias is playing tonight Uh for the pod race. Think about the absolute luck that the podaries have had with catcher in the last couple years Yeah, dias is gonna come in at least he if he doesn't hit at least two home runs tonight He's a disappointment. Yeah, he's done. We need to get rid of him because we had uh, the sand tries come in last year then Hagashyoka my goodness. Yeah. All right. So that's your padre line up for tonight They'll go for the sweep of the tigers. Can they get a little help please from the giants? Not yet anyway bottom of the sixth inning giants in arizona are tied Tutu up in san francisco dodgers do not play This evening. All right before we get into Got Chiefs Ravens. Yes. So excited rumbling bumbling stuff. Oh man football man. I can't believe it's here I'm honestly not ready for it. I'm not ready for it. The weather doesn't seem like it's ready for it either It's 112 degrees outside. It is hot. Yeah, poor luck this morning on the walk was like painting like crazy Yeah, yeah, it's tough for all dogs right now out there and human beings for that matter But um, yeah, we'll talk about the NFL opener But we have to thank i'ma start at the top with kevin because he was the guy that Kind of running the place up there yesterday getting us taken care of and settled in Uh, but buffalo wild wings. They did a great job of hosting our show yesterday. Absolutely And so I appreciate not only kevin, but the bartenders and the waitstaff They were running up and refilling our drinks and bringing us stuff and that just you guys could not have been nicer Yeah, they're at buffalo wild wings. So thank you there and then Thank you to the fans who came out scrappy. I saw you you did tweet a picture. Yep or adam did I mean it was really crowded. It was I mean there was a while there were people were waiting to get in I I mean it was and i'm not saying it was us. It was because we're giving away tickets Yeah, it's because we're giving away buffalo wild wings for a year And because people were looking for a cool place and stop by yes They saw the door was open And they're like I better get inside and did the air conditioning was great But the other part of it is buffalo wild wings. It's just a nice fun place to hang out in the afternoon It's nice and cool in there you get a in a cold beverage You get some wings some fries You get salads if you go in one cool in that direction But the other part where I was sitting yesterday I said it yesterday, but there was at least 3540 TVs in my view So just imagine what it's like in there on a college football Saturday And it's you can watch like 20 games at once and when I say intimate I don't mean small, but it's a very like no, that's a good call great place That's not really watch a game in fact one of the guys was telling me that it's one of the smaller In terms of size but locations above the wild, but it's very comfortable in there It's just a little more intimate and you get if you have a big party of people they're going to help you out We saw a bunch of fancy football drafts coming in there after we were done and yeah drafting It was a great place and you people came out to say hi yesterday. Thank you so much I honestly and I mean this I wish you could have all given you tickets. So pottery game I wish we could have because because everybody you know was there they were there all day You know, they were hanging out. They're having fun. They were engaged with the show I wish we could have given you all tickets, but thanks for coming out and congrats to those who did win yesterday Yeah, I um, I I said this yesterday, but I thought about it this morning on the walk When when when restaurants and and people when they care about how much drink you have You know, you got a good I couldn't tell you how many times I looked over my drink and it was not empty And that was amazing because I've talked to people who are waiters waitresses working restaurants Ice tea drinkers are one of the most annoying drinker Because you drink a lot of it and they have to like make it. So no one wants the iced tea Do you want to refill on that? I get it. I don't want to make iced tea either. But anyway, yeah, you're you're usually an annoying customer. I am Things have not changed. Can I get my iced tea car song? A little iced tea, please. Thank you kevin and buffalo out. Yeah, thanks for everybody and everybody who came out yesterday We had a good time yesterday buffalo wild wings. All right. We're gonna have a good time here We got a couple of hours to go when we come back. We'll do our uh, we will talk about tonight's game The chiefs the the ravens the nfl season kicking off 2024 everyone's excited Uh, we're gonna take we've done our preview for all of the nfc divisions We did a couple of afc division yesterday. We got two more to do today So uh stick around for that. It's all coming up next when Gwyn and chris returns Hi, let's play ball Or better yet Let's kick it off To the leather To to leather total leather. Yeah toe meets leather toe meets leather. Yes, it's a good old days the national football league On the pig skin was actually pig skin. Yes, it was uh 237 is the time chris hello tony gwen jr Is that petko park? Because we have some baseball to deal with as well tonight matt scrapies alongside, but you know It's it is. It's exciting to a lot of people the start of the national football league season uh tonight chiefs And ravens says it's a pretty pretty good game. Yeah, I mean I think they chose a good game. Yeah, um, I think it's I like the fact that the defending super bowl champ gets to play the opening game on thursday night at home Yeah, I think it should be last year was a was a terrific game If I recall the lions went into kansas city and beat the chiefs Yeah, we all thought maybe kansas city's on its way down Well, we thought that all year long frankly the chiefs were only 11 and six last year They were only the three seed And then after they beat the dolphins in the freezer game Remember they went to buffalo and then they went to baltimore and beat both those teams on the road And of course the the storyline was oh matt patrick mohomes has never had to play a playoff game on the road Yeah, he that was a dumbest thing. Anybody ever said because as soon as you said that storyline he took care of it So Yeah, the chiefs are the team to beat. I think even if they're nine and eight this year people will still be scared of them Yeah, uh for the playoffs Um, you know baltimore. I think has a little payback in mind. Although You can't really get payback in week one. I mean, you know bollimore beat some tonight So what the chief still won the afc championship last year. They're still on the super right. I'd still take that But you know lamar jackson derrick henry that's going to be fun to see that dynamic I think derrick henry is in for a big year I really tried to get him on my fancy jobs. I got him and none of them You got to um, you got to pick your poison of your defensive player. I mean when they do that little, you know zone read thing Where you either hand the ball or you pull it if you're lamar jackson and run around the end Let's just say you're playing the ravens. Yeah, what would you rather him do? Would you rather him give it to derrick henry so that he can run over your line Or would you rather lamar jackson keep it so he can sprint past everybody Either way, it's a bad choice for the defense there You're either going to get crushed by derrick henry or you're going to get juked by lamar jackson derrick henry is a monster so uh, it could be interesting. We'll see what happens tonight, but Everybody's excited about it. I did see um, we're going to do our um Our look at the uh, a fc north and south divisions of the two we have left Yes, but I did see a couple of super bowl predictions today on the nfl networks gravy. All right. I thought you'd be wildly interested to hear this okay, uh One guy in the mare and the a fc pick buffalo. I don't Think buffalo. I mean they made a lot of changes. Maybe they'll all be for the better Maybe maybe subtracting stuff on digs is what buffalo needed. I don't know, but I don't know We'll see we'll see a couple people picked of course, kansas city. I think somebody picked ball tomorrow I mean those are the teams you're going to pick. Anyway, the nfc There were four Guys or gals and it was I think it was their morning show the nfl morning show. Yes, um, whoever they are Yeah, so the four of them picked their super bowls They picked two different teams two picks a piece All right care to guess which two teams were picked Eagles nobody picked the eagles. Really nobody picked the eagles. Uh, 49ers Nobody picked the 49ers. I think I heard that you said someone picked the rams. Nobody picked the rams. Who I don't know The lions, okay, which I think is understandable. Yeah, the other team that was picked twice The pack. Oh my good people are in love with the packers I'm surprised the bears weren't picked to be honest because that's how many people love the bears people are really flying high in the bears Right now the bear do people realize the bears have been mediocre for years and years and years and they were seven and ten last year Which isn't as bad as you thought they were pretty mediocre though. It's not great Totally a couple of games away from being in the playoffs. I know I know and people are expecting Caleb williams to be You know, he's he's the paul skeens of the national football They've already anointed him as the rookie of the year before he even steps on the field So I understand why people are picking the lions to to go to the super bowl I And I know that people are going to hate the 49ers all year long because they want Well, we're tired of seeing that story. I mean the 49ers are going to again, you know, going to come up short at the end I get it, but can can Jared goth do it again. Can he run it back that team success Why does everybody think by Jared goth, but why does everybody think Jared goth can't do things He led the rams to a super bowl. He led the lions to within a stones throw of the super bowl There aren't too many guys that have led two teams to the you're right, you know, the doorstep of the super bowl You're right. So people who you know are not fans of Jared goth fine, but I don't know the guys proven he can do it before um He knows but he like he so why can't he's a lot of pressure on Jared goth because pressure is on because you're right The pressure is the thing they're gonna have to deal with everybody's expecting things from the lions They're expecting lines and if they don't perform this year detroit lions fans are going to be angry Oh detroit lions fans don't have anything to be angry about what are you talking about? This has never been good. That's my point. So the fact that you're good now Leaves you with nothing to complain about lions fans. I mean you've been 1957 is before almost all of you were born out there Yes, in fact most probably everybody who's a lion span wasn't born that was 28 years before it was born It was 10 years before the nfl and the afl merged. Okay, there we go It was 10 years before the super bowl came in. That's the last time the lions won something So the kneecap cannibal though. He was in an absolute commercial. He's the guy It's amazing. Did you see this out will be you'll see it probably 400 times Now i haven't seen commercials. I yeah, that's right. I could go I'll try to try to slow up the dvr for that one But you know the cannibal the cannibal what was his first coaching job, you know Saints man dolphins. He was the inner coach of the dolphin It was that you know thing ever wasn't it just one game and he took one or two games Yeah, I don't remember even what the situation was but that's where you're um Somebody filled in. I don't know. Yeah, maybe jerry filled in or no filled in Joe filled boy Was he a bad coach? You remember that and not only was he a bad coach He was the star of the hard knocks that year he was and you could just tell That he had no idea like he had no chance and Chad wasn't Chad Johnson on that team I don't remember I put that in there. I pile that in with all the other losing seasons of the dolphins of ad but uh, yeah NFL season kicks off tonight. It's gonna be a lot of fun. Um, why don't we uh Well, give us a little NFL music if tony can get in here he'll get in here But you and I got to do our picks for the AFC north and the AFC south Is that what we're getting for us on music today? Oh, you want the actual because you told me the other day You wanted me to change it up a little yeah, I'd like a little change up. That's fine But go with that. I just deleted it. So we're back to here Okay, we're back. I'll get another NFL song because I can't use this for all of our NFL Yeah, get it back for it by the time I see all right. So just a recap A little recap got a minute to recap AFC we all picked Kansas city In the west we all picked somebody different in the east I went with the hometown call my you know My call dolphins you went bills and tony went jets. Yeah, that is really the only division I think where we've had really much argument and the nfc I think All of us went with the eagles. Did we not think so and we all went with the lions We all went with the 49ers The only difference there was I think tony and I had tampa bay and you chose the saints if i'm not mistaken I do not choose the saints. You didn't know who'd you choose falcons? Yes, okay. Yes, the saints Unfortunately, you're not feeling they're gonna be kind of bad this not feeling for the saints All right It's all these experts are telling me they're gonna be terrible this year and I don't really understand it But okay, we'll see it I I understand it. I do too, but like what are the same? What have the saints done lately didn't they? Oh, thank the playoff last year. Yeah, they tied the buccaneers for the division title But the buccaneers won the tiebreaker. Yeah, so they could have been in the playoffs Let me just tell you something and you know this true The norlean saints franchise history comes down to two words drew breeze anything before or after that pretty much been a disaster for the norlean saints kind of hats you're right so Then they're kind of they don't have drew breeze anymore All right, let's start with the afc north you and I scrap you'll get tony's editions later Because I know he's busy. Yes Oh, you are picking to win the afc north that this is a division all four teams last year finished over 500 I don't know that's ever happened before The bangles were in last place at nine and eight. Yeah, so who wins it this year? This was the toughest division I think oh, yeah, but i'm gonna go with the team that won it last year in the ravens You're going with a ravens to run it back. Yeah, I got really run it back when i really run it back. Yeah, i can read now. Yes By the way, the afc north will be the mid-season or in-season subject of hard knocks this year the afc north They're doing the whole division A little different they're trying to add a little sparkle to it because I think the franchise might be getting a little stale Hey, I don't know why I hate it when they do these drastic kate not because it's different But because they're like trying to hang on to that original idea like come up with something new So you do you think hard knocks ought to go away and it's time for no, I don't think it needs to go away I mean, what's the mean anymore? I watched the Caleb Williams stuff. I couldn't watch the erin roger stuff Look, I don't I like the receiver show on netflix. I like the quarterback show on netflix I like hard knocks But really there's no difference among any of them No, and that is where we're we are getting so much access now. Yeah that Access alone is almost not enough. We you're right in a lot of ways We might need something else to be invented. Yeah, I don't know what to give us a reason to watch all of this because You know, we've got to live day-to-day with Patrick Mahomes and almost every other player in the league now It's cool. It's cool, but it's everywhere. It's like podcasts. Everybody has one now I'm gonna pick the bangles to when the afc north Ben goals. Yeah, they I mean, but it's all down to joe burrow. He's got to stay healthy It does but the one thing that the bangles have that no other team has in the NFL They have a quarterback that can beat Patrick Mahomes. He's the only one that's true who else can say it So as long as they can say it, I think the bangles are uh, you know a threat They also have my favorite defensive coordinator in all of football luam or elo or whatever I love that guy He could shut anyone down. Still hasn't got the head coaching job, but I know they won't give him a hit top job So I'll take the bangles, but it's going to be a tough fight You know cleveland's in there Pittsburgh all right last place i'll start Okay, I can't in good consciousness do it to mike tomlin So I I think pittsburgh is the likely team to finish last here just on paper But I can't do it to mike tomlin. He always finds a way. He's done it every time So that leaves cleveland to finish last. I just don't I don't have anyone else I get the bangles. I'm not picking them. I'm not picking the ravens last So I and I'm I think tomlin will find a way i'm pick cleveland as long as they have de chan watson I'm gonna root against them All right. I'm gonna go. I know what I thought about the bike tomlin angle so many times, but I can't really Say can't see him working his way out of this. I can't see it because the division is so good I'm gonna go stealers stealers last all right MVP joe burrow for me for you lamar Oh, uh jack dara kenry mvp. Yes, I'm really high on you love dara kenry this year I think everybody likes dara kenry except for people left to try tackle him. That's sure as Breakout player in the afc north who's gonna who's gonna Dance up and down this year in the fantasy world or whatever I think george pickens has a good year in front of them really actually has a quarterback pickens because when he wants This is the problem when he wants to play he's reimagine Can you imagine being good enough being given the god given talent to do something that Almost every young kid dreams about you are actually given the opportunity And you have to be motivated to perform. Yes, that's pretty annoying From where I sit it is very annoying to me as well But he is one of those guys and he has the talent to take it to a next day. Hey george are you here today? Yeah Like really yeah, that is kind of hard to deal with god. Who are you saying uh zay flowers? Okay, baltimore wide receiver He's gonna break out for the uravans disappointment in the division I'll go first okay Tony's not here to defend russell wilson But I was right last year. I think on him being a disappointment in the year before that His career's god. I think it's over I think Pittsburgh man I think I honestly don't think he'll keep the job past september and I think just in field He'll start being the quarterback and you know tomlin will find a way to win some games How the mighty have fallen yeah russell wilson was a great quarterback great The word was who's your disappointment? Uh, i'm gonna say the browns. I I don't think i'm gonna come in last place But everybody's picking the browns to go Like to the septemberl. Yeah, so i'm gonna say the browns are disappointed I don't know if the kneecap cannibal apple these commercials on right now He's like a waiter and he has his coach Headset on and they have to talk behind the menu. It's really funny. It's really funny Okay, i'm watching some of it right now, but I can't hear it all right. Uh, you're taking the browns as your disappointment That's a cop out take a player Take somebody who's gonna just Okay, let me think let me think um, he's gonna just you know to march ace Like he's gonna fumble the season away. All right. I'll say this t higgins There you go t contract year, but he seems like he's uh also disgruntled tick t higgins discriminant All right afc south is next. I think this is another difficult division to pick Uh, everybody was very close. Eustin jacksonville. Yeah, this is close Andy were all within one game of each other last year. Eustin ended up winning it Tennessee wasn't Awful awful But uh, they got a new coach Uh, who he he got to win the fc south this year This was tough. This is tough one. I think I think The jagwires are jagwires take a step jagwires are going to beat the dolphin sunday and that's going to send them on their path Yeah to greatness. Yes, just ascension from beating the dolphin Yeah, well, you beat the dolphins. You've got to feel good about yourself because the titans not sure about um Texans I'm not sure about in the texans. I'm definitely not sure about the problem with the texans is they they now have to deal with Expectations expectations don't go. I mean you can sneak up on people and now this year everyone's gonna be ready for the texans Absolutely. I'll pick them anyway. Okay. I think it's kind of a mediocre division. I think that uh You know, it's I I like the addition is to fawn digs, but I know everybody hates him off the field I don't know the guy catches 150 passes off, you know, he's pretty tough They got other guys on the other side and they had a they had a good running back too didn't it Texans Somebody I don't know. I I can't give up Texans. Uh last place, Tennessee for me Uh same uh mvp of the afc south I don't know cj shroud the real deal. We'll find out. It's to me. It's either him or Or richardson and they're both really young and fun and exciting quarterbacks Um now so I'm mostly cj shroud gets it done I am going to say you didn't name this guy Trevor Lawrence if the jaguars are gonna win the division He's got to be the mvp Trevor Lawrence. All right I mean if he's going if he doesn't have a good year this year, then we know what we have in Trevor Lawrence He's an average quarterback in the NFL Trevor Lawrence stopped being good At halftime of that playoff game against the chargers He was up 27 nothing and he lost that game And he never recovered last year. Yes. Oh last year. I thought two years ago. They played the chargers They were up 27 nothing at halftime. No the chargers lost Oh I was gonna say what yeah, my bad. No the chargers lost because no you're right The brain cramp. It's okay. I tell you it's okay. It happens to me everything cramps every single day Yeah, I should have known the chargers lost that one break out players. Richardson for me Um I was gonna say yes. I was gonna say josh downs Wow receiver for the Colts. You got him. Okay. That disappointment for me. It'll be Trevor Lawrence All right, because I don't think he's gonna bounce back. It's gonna be cj shroud Have you seen that guy throw baseball? I can't trust a guy who can't throw baseball but could throw a football Have you ever seen this dude throw baseball was a it's one of the worst things I've ever seen really like it's like a Yeah type of throw Interesting.
