Kap & J. Hood
9/19 8 AM: Dealbreakers
I'm going to check to make 1-6 land use of pressure on target. That's why I see him in my shot. Shot or no shot with Captain Jehud on ESPN 1000 and ESPN Chicago app. That's why I see him in my shot. Good morning and welcome in to the Captain Jehud Morning Show on ESPN 1000. And we're streaming on the ESPN Chicago app with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood, with you. To remind you, we got deal breakers coming away at 8.35. Can I just say one more thing, please? Willie Adamus is 29. He just turned it last week, two weeks ago. Swaps it'll be 31 before opening day. Willie Adamus at 248, 32 bombs, 109 driven in with a 7.95 OPS. Our dude, two years older, 237, 15, 63, and a 687. That's a horrible OPS. And we got, oh, I don't know, 25.2 million per season. They got him for 12.2 for a one-year deal. Shout out to Jed Hoyer and his coffee this morning. Well done. Good guy. I like Jed. He's good to us. That is an awful, awful way you spent your money. 77-75. Here's Jack McGrath. Good morning, guys. How's it going? Have you listened to the first hour? I've listened to the first hour. What are your thoughts on the Cubs? You've heard our talk. I mean, that's hardening. Well, hold on a second, AI. Do you think that the parallel of the Packers and the Brewers and the Bears and the Cubs is sound? I think it is sound because in Milwaukee, you're seeing sustained success when you thought they were out. And multiple times we have thought the Packers have been done and out. We saw it once Brett Favre left. We saw it once Aaron Rodgers left and we thought finally now it's our turn and it still hasn't been the Cubs' turn. It's been the Brewers for the past decade. Plus, I mean, look at it, Jack. From side to side, look at the Brewers roster and look at the Cubs roster. I mean, look at it. I mean, all the stuff, all the tumult that the Brewers have gone through too now. Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. It looks as if they were able to just steamroll through the NL Central. And by the way, since May they have, since May they have steam and they've actually led wire to wire. Did you hear Pat Murphy? What in the clubhouse with the champagne? Wire to wire. Okay. Wow. I think the Cubs were, you know, there in April. Hold on a second now. For like, yeah. For three weeks. The Cubs had something to say in April now. He got a second. Hey, Dan's B. Is it still June? Oh. I'm sure he's a wonderful husband. His wife's a great soccer player. He is a mediocre baseball player. Good defender. Good defender. Guess what? I can find those guys. I can find defenders. This dude can't hit. For 25.2 million for seven years. Sweet mother of God. Mickey Morendini, if you're listening in Indiana, you missed out on the big money. Yes, he did. Because that could have been your money. Dandy, little glove man. Give you good base hits there now and then. That was his money. Oh, my God. The passenger came back. Shot and no shot. Here's Jack McGrath. All right. So the Patriots are playing in prime time tonight against the Jets. It's not going to be Drake May at quarterback who was their top pick in the this year's draft. It's instead going to be Jacobi Brissette. And the reason for that hasn't exactly been explained, but it's kind of been assumed is because they don't want to get crushed behind a bad offensive line shot or no shot. The Patriots are doing it the right way by sitting Drake May and the Bears are doing it the wrong way by putting Caleb Williams in the fire behind a bad offensive line. No shot. Drake May is a poor man next to Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams is a way better football player. Maybe five years from now that will reverse. Caleb Williams was ready to play. No, you're not starting Tyson Beigeant right now. No, it's a no shot, Jack, because of this. Simply because the Bears are built to be able to be in the playoffs based on its roster composition. Think about what the Patriots don't have. They don't have the same secondary or defensive line as the Chicago Bears. They don't have the wide receivers as Chicago Bears. So the reason why that you play Caleb instead of Tyson Beige or someone else is because of how polls will build this thing. Again, three wins and seven wins and your hope is that the playoffs are next. But from the Patriots standpoint, post-bill, it's supposed to look bad. And if it's any good would per set, that's a good thing. But I think it's smart for them to protect Drake May because the Patriots won't be ready to win the next couple of years. They have to kind of rebuild this thing post-bill bell check. Correct. We imagine this thing. So I think that the Bears' plan is the right plan because of the infrastructure around Caleb. Jack? I would agree with that. If the Bears want to reach the peak, reach the pinnacle, and make a Super Bowl, then, yeah, I would agree they need Caleb Williams to hit his ceiling. Oh, we changed the segment? What do you mean? I thought you were supposed to be the humble narrator. Oh, okay. Sorry. I'll return to the role. Jay Moore, this is your fault. You supposed to program him different now. All right. Shay's job. Oh, is that his chance? He'd be glad to tell you that. Yes, I'm sure it'd stay. All right, Jack. What else do we have? Panthers coach Dave Kanellis says the Panthers will not trade Bryce Young. Well, shot or no shot. Bryce Young is the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers at the start of next year. That's a no shot. That would be all. Wow. That's a no shot. That's a great question. But that'll be all. But here's the thing. It's not his fault cap. It's not. This is the same situation that you get all the time with the rookie quarterback. You put him in there in the fire when the team's out ready to win. What you just laid out earlier, Jack was saying, is it right for Drake May, you know, to sit and have Presett be the starter? Yeah, because the Patriots aren't ready to win. Carolina ready to win week one with Bryce Young last year. They were not. They were not. So he will not be the quarterback next year. No. It's not his fault though. Look at the team. Look at the organization. Where are they going anytime soon? But if you're not going to trade him now, he could say that. But if you don't move him either at the deadline or in the off season, he can't come back as the backup. That's right. He won't be a Panther. I don't know if he's going to. But here's the thing. Which team would want Bryce Young at this point in time? Someone would want to do it because I thought it was an impossibility for Trey Lance to be traded, but he was. He was. I've been thinking about the New York Giants. They have Daniel Jones under contract, but they can cut that money. They might not have a top pick going into next year. The Dolphins may need a more though. If I was the 49ers, I would take a shot. 100%. To hold up the bench. He'd be just training under Kyle Shanahan, the guru. Man, look. I'm just, what I'm telling you, Jack is, is that Carolina is not just from an infrastructure standpoint, he shouldn't be with the football team. He should be a backup to learn. He's thrown into the fire and we talk about, you know, getting the ball out quickly. He still thinks he can be trying to out athletic teams. And you saw how that works. He's been killed behind that offensive line. So I would say that he will not start with Carolina Panthers next year or start it all next year. I mean, you see him, Jack. No, he's not good. Not at all. Wow. Not ready, Cap. Not ready. Someday he might be, but right now he's not. Now close your eyes unless you're driving and imagine him in a Bears uniform. The fact that Andy Dalton still a better option than him speaks volumes. That's fair. Imagine in a Bears uniform, Cap. Oh, God. Seriously. If you had kept the pick, you would have no dar no right. Work in progress. No DJ Moore. No Tyreeks Stevenson. No Tory Taylor. No Kayla Williams. No second pick. Next second round pick next year from the Panthers. And you'd have Bryce yelling at quarterback. That'll be all. Yes. He just needs to sit behind the quarterback. He has to learn. That's all. It's just too much too soon. Jack. So with Jordan loves injury and assuming he's still out this weekend, I was looking at the quarterbacks in the NFC North. And it occurred to me, the NFC North might have the worst group of quarterbacks currently out of all divisions in the NFL shot or no shot. The NFC North has the worst group of quarterbacks in the NFL currently. Jared Goff, Sam Darnold, Kayla Williams, Malik Willis. If Jordan Love was in there, would you say the same thing? Would you ask the same question? I think it would be a lot closer, but I still think they're near the bottom. Yes. What? Well, let's take a look at it, Cap. Let's take a look. Okay. What's going to love is the top ten quarterback. Okay. Ten? Sure. Jared Goff is the top ten quarterback. Nine? Okay. Kayla is at the bottom right now. I hasn't worked his way up yet. Sam Darnold is, you know, pedestrian. Now again, he says what he's talking about. He says the North is the worst. AFC East, Josh Allen, the former Tua, when Tua was there, Josh Bursette are... To Kobe Bursette. To Kobe Bursette and the Jets, but Aaron Rodgers. That was way worse, is it? Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen? Schuyler Thompson and... And Bursette. To Kobe Bursette, stop yourself, AI Jack. Get reprogrammed. Okay. AFC South. Damn. You like CJ Sprout? Yep. Like Richardson, Lawrence, and the Titans with Will Levis. Yeah. That good? Richardson has improving anything yet. He missed most of the last year with his shoulder injury. Is that better than the North, I guess? That's the question. No. Okay. NFC South with the Atlanta. Kirk Cousins. And Carolina, we just talked about. Yeah. And with Big Red in there with the Red Rifle. Baker Mayfield. There's Baker Mayfield in the Saints with... Derek Carr. Yeah. Is that worse? That's not any better. Absolutely not. It's not. Okay. AI. What do you think? I'm good with that. I think Malik Willis is not a top 64 quarterback in the league. So that significantly drops the North for me. I think with Jordan Love in there, yes. The NFC North is fine. They're right in the middle of that. Malik Willis is not a top 64 quarterback. Yes. I think I'm willing to say that based on what I've seen. Well, I know. They don't play them good last week. With the Titans, I really don't trust the Packers being able to run the ball. I don't think it's going to look pretty for them. I would love to know in your program, AI. Who's second worst? I'm looking at the divisions now. What second world? We laid out a few. NFC West, you've got Geno Smith. You've got Brock Purdy. You've got Matthew Stafford. And you've got Tyler Murray. Tyler Murray. That's better. Pretty good. I would say probably the NFC South. NFC South is second worst. NFC South is second worst. Derek Carr is the wild card there. Derek Carr looks like right now a top 10 quarterback in the league the way he's playing. But I don't think he sustains that. First two games so far, he's looked really good. Put that on the pole at ESPN 1000 is the NFC North. Does the NFC North have the worst quarterbacks in football? The worst quarterback division in football. See how that goes back. Correct. And when you say the conversation, Jason Gough, I mean who? What was it? Man. Jordan Love and Jared Gough. Sorry. Man. Quarterback man. Man. That Jared Gough. Bull's lose again by his money. Can't do what your thoughts. Man. Is that what it is? Is that what you're talking about? No. All right. Jared Gough. Leave Jason Gough alone. All right. Do you know how? I mean you should get royalties every time someone screws that up. Jason I'm talking about. You should get royalties every time. Every time someone mistakens Jason Gough with Jared Gough vice versa. You should get royalties. Can you squeeze in one more, Jack? Yeah. One more here. So Malik Neighbors is fourth in the league and receiving yards right now. Marvin Harrison went off last week at a huge game. Jaden Daniels doesn't look terrible. Shot or no shot. Caleb Williams window for Rookie of the Year is already closing. I'm going home. Well, don't leave. What do you mean? Come on, Jack. He's dropped from first on the odds board all the way down to third already. And he's going, if he plays like he has the past two games, they continue to drop. They've played two games, Jack. Two. Shame doesn't want the nickname anymore. I'm giving it to you. First take, Jack. I mean, come on, man. What are we doing? How many more games can he still is already close? How many more games can he play like he already has and still win Rookie of the Year? Four more? Five? Look, Joe Flacco was on his couch at Thanksgiving and he won Comeback Player of the Year. Stop. Please, I'm begging you. Well, that's why he won Comeback Player of the Year. Just let it play out, man. My God. His window is already closing. Guys, stop. Please. Anytime you hear that music, you're getting AEI, Jack. He's getting revved up. You hear him? He's getting mad now. I'm sorry, Jack. Don't get him upset because when he gets upset, the music starts. See his back right there? See, Jack's back? It's lit up. Oh, man. Look at the button. It's System Overload. System Overload. Jay Moore, please help him. Oh, God. See, you pissed him off, man. Now you pissed Jack off. We turn to around the NFL. Wow. Well, we need to see from surprise teams. AI, Jack, is going to take a break because-- Oh, don't get upset, Jack. Oh, don't piss him off. Jesus. This lights everywhere. The studio is upset. Around the NFL is next right here on "Cap at Jay Hood." Follow Chicago's home for sports on Twitter at ESPN1000. "Cap and Jay Hood" are back on ESPN Chicago. Chicago's home for sports. Nick Bolz sucks. He sucks. I'm just a fan. I'm not a football developer. I love the Green Bay Packers. The guy is front, but there he goes. This is not Detroit, man. This is the Super Bowl. I love winning. He starts to come at any moment. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's the answer you're looking for on these things here? Oh, boy! Time now to go around the NFL right here on "Cap and Jay Hood." It's a deal-breakers Thursday. We had deal-breakers coming your way at 835. Tom Thayer, with the latest in the Bears and matchup against the Colts. Around the NFL, here's Jack McGrath. All right, today's theme around the NFL is what do we need to see from each surprise team to believe that they are a real contender, and then we're also going to hit on the two surprise teams that are 0-2 and what do we need to see them do to bounce back? So I'll start off in the NFC North, the Minnesota Vikings right now. They opened the season at +750 odds to win the division. They're up to second best at +275 on most sites now. I need to see Sam Darnold keep on playing like he is, because so far he's looking like a Geno Smith-like resurgence. He's playing like the third overall pick that he once was. It's taken a little bit of time. I'm buying in on that defense, which is ranked very highly in DVOA. Brian Flores has it all figured out. I think the Vikings could win this division. The Vikings could win the division. Can I just tell you that if the Vikings will win the division, then I will tell you, Jack, that the Bears are in trouble. It's all related. I already believe in the Lions to win the division. You never doubt the Packers. You just never doubt them, because they've just been that good. And then from there, the Vikings who we thought would take a step back, especially without Kirk Cousins. That means that if they're going to win the division, or even be a playoff team as you say, Jack, then that puts a lot of stock into O'Connell as well as head coach. That means that system is working. Because this is a whole renaissance for Sam Darnold, a guy that was done. But sometimes as we know, Cap, you go to a different address, all of a sudden things change. O'Connell is, by all accounts, an outstanding football coach. Yesterday, do you remember when Mike Tanaman was the GM of the Jets and they were on hard knocks? Well, yeah. They showed on social media yesterday. Him, remember, they would like to have the camera right there, and he was, I don't know if I'd say heartless, but he was pretty direct. Yeah, we're going to have to let you go. So let's all have your paperwork. He was cutting Kevin O'Connell. That was who was in the office. Yeah, we had hope for you to be the backup here, and it didn't work out. Yeah. John, I'll have your paperwork outside. We're going to let you go. Good luck. Kick them up. And now look. It was Kevin O'Connell. Now look at it. We hired Kevin O'Connell. Guys are stunned. Didn't you wouldn't have Hebrew flus? So, some thoughts now from... Not a shot at Hebrew flus. It's like Kevin O'Connell. Talk about developing a young quarterback. Do you agree with Jack, though? Jack hasn't went into division. I said I think they could. I still have the Lions, but the Vikings are in play now. I didn't think that before the season. First take, Jack. Vikings are not winning the division. Hold on to that for your air check there, Jack. That's the good snippet do you have right there, especially at the Vikings win. They're not going to win the division. I don't think they will, but I think there's a chance. If things fall the right way for them, the defense looks really, really good. And they're doing this without Jordan Addison, too. He's been hurt the past couple of weeks. That's the thing that frightened us before the season, because Albert Breyer laid out this case about the Vikings, and we took, like, two steps back like, wait a minute, this holds me the Bears' time. Right. Brother, if the Vikings are any good, look, everybody cannot be over 500. If the Vikings win the division, and Jordan Love isn't out for the year, like, if he's back, they're talking about it, he could possibly play Sunday. The Bears are finishing dead last. Yeah. That was... Yeah. So, there's that. All right, Jack, what's next? Let's jump to the Steelers, two and also far this season. They have an 18-10 win versus Atlanta, a 13-6 win versus Denver. It's the same story with Justin Fields that we saw here. I need to see them win throwing the ball to believe in them, under 160 passing yards in the past two games. You do know that Pittsburgh and Chicago is almost the same city. Feels like it. Football wise, right? Feels like it. My kids lived there, so we spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh, and I've done a ton of basketball games there. Pittsburgh's like a mini Chicago. But football wise, you're correct. Differences, they make the playoffs every year. We can say better organization and better head coach, too. They've got the leg up on it, on the Chicago. He's the best. Yeah. If I told you every single coach in the NFL was a free agent at the end of the year, you could have any of them. You'd be first. Tomlin. He'd be right there in the list. Andy Reed is like amazing. Me to be. It'd be Andy Reed. It'd be Tomlin. Yeah. I mean, he'd come right through the door and tell you. It all sucks. And we'll do something about it. He would. That's right. So, he asked 2-0, no surprise. This is a veteran observer of the Steelers scene. It's Mike Tomlin, after all. He's scaring them into victories. Scaring. He is, Cap. He doesn't mess around with it. You can't be surprised. I know that every year we're here for the downfall of Mike Tomlin. And not saying that they're going, look, he's looking for the playoffs. He's like a college football coach as looking for just needs six wins to get into the bowl game. So, that's what he needs. He just needs six. I meant to tell you this. I was told a great story. I will not say who told me, but he said I could tell the story. He said, I got to know Tomlin. I went to training camp just three or four years ago. He said, Tomlin goes, what are you doing tonight? Nothing. He'd be at the hotel. He's like, when I'm told my meetings, let's go to dinner and grab a few drinks. Okay. He said, we grab an Uber. We get to get to dinner. We walk across the street. There's a bar. Let's have a couple cocktails. Let's talk. Some guys popping off in the bar at Tomlin. And Tom was like, that's it. I'm going to go beat his ass. And the guy said, you're Mike Tomlin. It'll be all over the news. I don't care. He's not going to disrespect me like that. He's like, dude, I had to hold him back. Oh, God. He said, Tomlin does not care. He will set his market and enforce it. So he is. So he is. Jack, you was another. New Orleans Saints. They are two and all. And that surprised me a little bit. You probably have that one in the Super Bowl. No. I need to see their offense find a way to succeed that isn't through Alvin Camara. Camara has over a third of their yards. He's an eight-year running bag. He has an injury history. I've heard the Derek Carr for MVP early in the season narrative way too many times. He falls off every single time he starts hot. I need to see him continue it. And I need to see them be able to find success with some of their other weapons. Jack, in the next three games, where will the Saints be? Because it's against the Eagles, at the Falcons, at the Chiefs. I'll go one and two in the next three. So I think they'll be three and two. All right, wait, wait. The Saints are destroyed Dallas. They did. Give them credit, man. They were awesome. Who are their next three? Against the Eagles, home, at the Falcons, at the Chiefs. They can lose all three of those. I think they pull one out against either the Eagles or the Falcons. I only throw that out because, as you laid out, you want to see more than Alvin Camara, right? Well, this will tell a story. I think that they'll still run the football against the Eagles. I think they're going to try. And against that strong defensive front, they're going to try. Because that's been the formula so far. You want to see whether that Carr, by his arm, can you win a game? Is that what you're looking for? You want to see Carr be able to make plays? I want to see Carr be able to make the plan. I want to see Chris Olave more involved as well. They haven't been getting him the ball. Okay. This will tell a story. I mean, 2-0, based on how many points that they've scored against the Panthers and the Cowboys, 47-44, respectively, is amazing in this NFL. But it is fair. Let's take a look at a sample size. You're not beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead. Okay. That's not happening. But the other two games, the Eagles and Falcons, they'll tell a story. That will tell a great story about who they are. That will. Very early, but late. We won't be talking much about them. No. All right. What's next, Jack? Other 2-0 team that surprised me was the Seahawks, but they've played Denver and New England so far, so I don't really know how much credit to give that. Those are two games they should win. They're next three games. The quarterbacks, they're facing Skylar Thompson in Miami. Jared Goff, so tough competition in Detroit. And then Daniel Jones. So they could very easily walk out of those games either 5-0 and 4-1. So I think the Seahawks have a good chance. But I want to get to the 0-2 teams before we head out of this segment. The Ravens right now are a little bit concerning on the defensive side of the football. They're 19th in DVOA. Remember, they lost their defensive coordinator last year. They have Zack or new guy in charge of the defense. This season, they're allowing the third most yards per pass attempt in the NFL. Last year, they led the league in yards per pass attempt on defense. Something's going on with that defensive scheme. It'll be fine because they tick on the Cowboys in Dallas. Yeah! Dallas better fill up. They'll turn it around, but Baltimore, if you lose at Dallas, that'll be all. Because now you're looking at 0-3. Oh boy. So, and then, by the way, easy pick-in to get the Bills next. After that. At where? That's going to be in Baltimore. And you know that's just going to be a slugfest. Jaymore will tell you. God. Josh Allen on the road. Big spot. I'm 0-4. Oh! It's tough. It's tough in these NFL streets, you know. I do like that coach too, Harbaugh. I just, I mean, it's, that'll tell a great story. As, as all the acclaim for the Ravens saying, can they brush through, Jack? Like, there's one thing that you know about the, the Ravens and that. You love Lamar Jackson because individually he's a great talent. But you wonder about the rest of it in big spots. In big games. I take nothing away from, from the Chiefs game cap, because that's going to happen. The Chiefs. But that Raider loss, that sucks. That's a tough one. That is. That's a bad one. Any other Owen two teams? Yes. The Cincinnati Bengals, Owen two. The Bengals right now have less rushing yards per game than the Bears. Their running game has been terrible. I'm afraid that window is closing. Jamart Chase wants a contract to Higgins on his franchise tag. I'm concerned this might be the last we see of the contending Bengals. For a little bit. They're all, I think, anything's possible. But for a little bit, I'm a little bit concerned. I'm telling you that the Bengals have had some locker room issues. They didn't get the Jamart Chase deal done. They haven't got Trey Hendricks and done. But that's one issue. And the other team you had mentioned earlier, the Falcons, they can beat the Chiefs. They got a lot of weapons, man. Jay Moore, let's play Hood's greatest hits. Let's go with number seven. Thank you very much on the top 10 of Hood's greatest hits. Cap, I don't think that the Bengals have the infrastructure to help out Joe Burrow. I think that Joe Burrow's great. I don't think the Bengals' organization's great. They're not going in the right direction. Well, I've said that for every week now. Yeah, but I'm talking about the stuff in the locker room. I'm not talking about the infrastructure. I'm talking about guys pissed off in there. Captain, it is part of the infrastructure. It's crumbling. Yeah, that's fair. It is fair. That's all I'm saying. I'm not sure I'm talking about the organization. I believe in Joe Burrow. I believe in him. But the rest of it? I mean, we can always chalk it up too well. The Bengals are always off to a slow start. I mean, it's not good when your star wide receiver buys a $50 million insurance policy and says I was misled by the organization. And then your deep lineman, who had what? 17 sacks last year? Yeah, I didn't get my extension done either. There was a time, Jack, I would have exclaimed, don't worry. They got the commanders coming up. And I would say now that's not an easy game. They just lost to the Patriots at home. That's the thing. That's why I would say is that that's not an easy game. But they do have the Panthers after that. One and three, possibly. How about that, Jack? No turning it around in Cincinnati or Baltimore. Who has a better chance to turn it around? Baltimore, right? Baltimore, I would say. If between the two, I'd say Baltimore. I would agree. I think that defense gets right. And then the Bengals are on the fire and Zack Taylor, who's a good coach. And a blame it on him. And he'll be out and they'll be right back as Sylvie calls it. The cycle of, what is he called? The circle of suck? Circle of suck. Hey man, everybody can't have a Marvin Lewis contract. Wow. Can't be in there for 20, 27 years and do nothing. That brother was on the sideline over the Raiders. Did you see him over the weekend? No. If I could have a special assistant coach? Very good. I think it was the Raiders. I saw him over on the Red Zone. I think I saw him there. All right. You know what's coming up next? I do. Deal. Breakers. Love it. Next. Hold the meat. Welcome back to Captain Jay Hood. You're officially locked in. I know it's up in the sky. On Chicago's home for sports. ESPN, Chicago. We all have to make choices in sports and in life. It could be running on third down. You ran the same third down situation and you ran the same play twice. You're getting paid for that. I cannot believe the call. We're managing finances. This country, you've got to make money for it. Or it could be a deal breaker. Deal breakers here on Captain Jay Hood on ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. This Thursday edition of Deal Breakers, authored by Jack McGrath. Jack. All right. So you've been watching your college football team each week with your girlfriend. You thought she was on your team's side sharing with you. But late in the season when your team loses on a last second field goal, she cheers. You find out she has been betting against your team every weekend and racked up a significant amount of money doing so. How do you react to her betting against your team? Well, look. Say, for instance, it's Georgia, Ohio State, the national title. And peacock's been sitting next to me the entire time. Georgia Gear, taking care of all my Georgia needs, whatever they are. And she's been in the bag for other teams. Rudy gets my teams quietly and then my team loses the big game and she stands up in cheers. Yeah, we'd have a problem. Major problem. What the hell is that? Okay. What if peacock was honest at the start? She's like, what does she call you? John. Jonathan. A hole? Is it, does she call you Johnny? John. Goodie. Jonathan. Your question. I'm sorry. What's the question? Because it's different for Jack just laid out. What he said. Yeah. Honey. I don't like Georgia. You can root for whoever you want. I'm rooting for whoever I want. I don't like Georgia. That shouldn't be an issue. But, but if she's going to sit next to me and, you know, wear some Georgia gear and fake it, that's a problem. That is an issue. I've always said that, Jaymore. That is a problem. That's different. Now, do you break her like when I get the horse? No. Or break up. I don't think I would. But that's odd. Like, be honest with me. She's going to the guest room that night. Just say. You're a fraud. Don't fake me, baby. Don't fake it, baby. Please don't fake it. Don't fake it. Just let me know. Don't fake it. So, I would say, Jack, that is a deal breaker. She is sleeping in the guest room that night. That'll be all. She knows how much Georgia means to me. And she faked it the entire season. You know how long that is? That's through the spring game. That is in September. All the time. You know how long it is. You know how long it is? You know how long it is? That's through the spring game. That is in September. All the way through. And then you do that. It's the spring game. It means a lot to God football fans. Nonetheless. But she doesn't sit and watch the spring game. Sure she would. It's my wife. Why wouldn't she? Why wouldn't she support what I like? The spring game's not even a high. It is on. Not true. ESPNU. Unless you're here. She's faking it. Unless she's faking it. Huh? Hahn, you want to see the spring training? No. Why not? It's your cup fan. Take that. Of course you want them to be there through the good and the bad. Through the meaningless and the meaningful. Yeah, just who would reveal a character flaw. For me. Yep. So yes, it's a deal breaker. She's in the guest room. Thank you. Smaller bed there. I've recently learned about this concept of they called it an emotional hedge bet. Where if your team's favored by a lot, you throw a $10 bet on the money line of the game. So if your team loses, then you wind up with 50 bucks, 100 bucks. How do you guys feel about that? I don't like it. You've been around Tyler, haven't you? Is it his? No, it's not Tyler. It was actually Matt, one of our other producers who told me it. No kidding. Yep. Wow. Cause I'm a Mizzou fan. You want to meet a bet? Mizzou BC. Throw 10 bucks on it. I'm like, I can't bet against my team. Of course not. However, I did cash in on BC that week, by the way. Did cash in? Absolutely. How many weeks are we in the college football season? Three. This is three. Yeah. My partner who I consider family, like we're super tight. I was on a phone with him last night, nothing to do with sports because we have that bond. He says I will text you my two plays each Saturday. Hasn't done it yet this season, but then pumping his arm like a train conductor in here because he won at BC. Thanks for the text. Totally. But here's the thing that you don't know about me and you don't care to know. I want to make sure that you don't lose any money. If I give you a play, it's because I know that you can win. Because I like to make people happy. How about if I just keep giving you crappy bets? You wouldn't be asking for them anymore. The Boston college bet wouldn't have been crappy. They want a shocker. Quit pumping your arm like Charlie the train conductor. Geez. See, you don't understand. Why would I want to give you loses? It's been tight. It's a whole different college football world I told you now. He's not a conference now. He's saying little sister is a poor every week. And he's not a conference. These are tight games. Tight. What if I give you kind of saw state plus 17 and that didn't cash? And they did not. You'd say this guy's not very good. This guy sucks. Yeah. I don't want to do that to you. That's not fair. He does not tight. It is. Exactly. All right. I have a friend. He tutors high school and grammar school kids. Helps them with their homework. He goes to the student's house and helps them out. But before he decides on a rate to charge the parents. He looks up the house on Zillow and will charge more or less depending on how expensive the house is. That's the best right there. But that's jag like behavior there. Go ahead. What a loser. I love you. Get on Zillow. Find out how much the house is worth because that tells you what's in the house, right? Cap. That house is worth 500 grand. I got money. Here's my charging rate based on the Zillow that I saw. Yeah. I'd like to hire you to tutor my son. What's the address? 1724 Willow Oak Lane in Lake Forest. That'll be 200 an hour. Seriously. 17S23 Orland Park. 50 bucks. Wow. So means that deal breaker? No. How much? How much for welcome? Actually Italian. Let me take a look at this. You want me to? 2901 West 159th Street. I understand things are, I understand things are tough. Ten bucks. I'll do pro bar. The boys get slower. It's like the lake for, oh my. 200 dollars an hour. 159th and Kettsey. Mark them. Understand things are tough. Five bucks. Thank you. Just give me a snack. Phoenix Illinois. Let's take a look. Mmm. Can we work in a different spot? Six more. A different spot. We were there. When I went there. Yeah. So, but that's that, but it is, it's just funny. It's not a deal breaker. It's just actually good business. And actually, if I look at it positively Jack, he wants to find out what area he's going to be in and see if he's going to be safe. And also can charge based on where he is as well. Right. Yeah. I have no price. I admire his, uh, Moxie. Moxie. His entrepreneurial spirit. Acumen. Boy, that's Jack like behavior though. Looking it up. He sent me a Zillow of a house that was like three million dollars this weekend. And he's like, great's going up. Oh my god. More deal breakers right up on the corner. On camp in Jaywood. Oh my gosh. I mean it's huge. Welcome back to Captain Jaywood on Chicago's on for sports. ESPN Chicago. Tom Thayer will join us coming up at nine o'clock as we talk about the bears and our match of a gift to cults. But back to deal breakers. Here's Jack McGrath. Cap, I heard you talk another day about how you don't have the strongest sense of smell. While your closest group of friends sit you down, they tell you your girlfriend stinks. Not that she's a bad person, but she smells really, really bad. It's not affecting you, but they say they won't hang out with her anymore because they can't stand the smell. Do you ditch your friends or do you ditch your girlfriend? Um, so I don't, I didn't say that I have no sense of smell. I just don't have a very good sense of smell. Only for news. Correct. So... She hot? That was my next question. How hot is she? She's good looking your danger for a reason. Ugh. Seven. Yeah. This is good looking. I mean it's like a nine six. Like do you walk into a restaurant if she was a stranger sitting there you go. Jesus. Look it. Sure. Yeah. It's okay. She's mazoo hot. Oh she's good looking. Like is she like Arizona state hot? Sure. Yeah. He went to mazoo. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. After barely in the SEC. I would probably ask somebody privately that I know. Like like my brother or somebody who's been around him. Dude, I gotta ask you a question. Does she smell? No. Yeah. Everybody knows it. I would say something to her. There was nothing that could be done that was part of the deal. Yeah, it'd probably be a deal break. Now Jack, I need you to kind of delve in a little bit more about the type of smell. Now what does she smell like specifically? Are they saying? Is it like like workout sweat? It's body odor. Straight body odor. It's B.O. Mm-hmm. Mm. Smelly Kelly. Wow. You know what you get for the holidays? It's a nice bar of safeguard. It's wrong with that cap. Nothing. Nice bar of safeguard. You know those, you do call safeguard as a soap to eat up. I remember the name. They don't make that anymore, right? You know those tree air fresheners? Yes. Get out of those as earrings. Wow. Do they still make safe fun? Yes. I don't think we've had a bar of soap in our house in 20 years. That goes along with the keys you don't have either in the last 20 years. That's the key with me today. 'Cause I borrowed it from the dog walker and I promised I'd get it back and I still haven't got a key made. See? There you have it. There you have it. And you wonder why Mindy's in your ass all the time. We haven't gotten, we don't buy bar soap. We use body wash. What do you think she's buying? She looks like she doesn't wash at all. And if she doesn't wash. And that's the other thing. Like I take at least two showers a day. If my girlfriend is not taking showers, we're not going to be together. I'm not dating a hippie. Sorry. But Cap, you don't notice it because you don't smell it. But still, if others are telling me this. First of all, if I noticed she wasn't showering, we'd have an issue. Me showering and I'd take one like every four days. Okay, get out. My wife takes two a day, so do I. What if it's like a medical thing? What does that mean? It just smells bad because that's how it is. That's her natural stench she showers. Okay, well she got a short shrift. I'm out. There's medicines or something we can do. We medicate her. They said no, she's as good to get worse as she gets older. I'm out. She's stinky. She's hot. She's young. She's stinky. What do you think that's going to be like with that when she's in her 60s or 70s? What do you think that's going to be like? Not good. Yeah, exactly. There's your sink guard, by the way, if you like it in the bar soap. And by the way, it's so funny. I looked it up. It's Granger. For the ones who get it done, Granger. Granger sells a safeguard soap. All right, you squeeze in one more before we talk to Tom Thayer. Yes, we can. Your co-workers' lunch has been stolen from the break room fridge multiple times. They decide they're going to fight back and sprinkle their sandwich with laxatives before putting it in the fridge. Later that day, one of your co-workers has to go home with some stomach issues because they stole their food. Who's in the wrong? Well, it's a rib on them, right? The rib is, it's like you keep stealing food, and so you want to steal again? There you go. Here's some laxatives. The person who's stealing the food is the one that's in the wrong, and you teach him a lesson. So, I had to teach Waddle a lesson. Back in the day when we were partners down the dial, he would come in the office and I had one of those little mini fridges under my desk. And he would just take food out of there and eat it. And I'm like, oh, what happened to the leftover, whatever? You can't animate the canary and be over there on the computer checking his stock portfolio. Yeah, and he'd be chocolate. And so one day I said, we're going to teach him a lesson. You didn't eat that, did you? Yeah. It was spoiled. Dude, half hour later, he's doubled over with his stomach issues that he has, and he's looking up the signs. What are the warning signs of stomach cancer on the computer? Don't ever touch our food again. Yes, fair. Love you, Tommy. That was Waddle. So, to answer the question for Jack, who's in the wrong here? What do you say? Well, definitely the person who stole the food. Yes. Yes. The person who stole the food is in the wrong. Now you pull a rib on them by saying, oh, you're the kind of guy who steals food? How about this? How about you steal this and then see what happens? Right. So, it's something I would have definitely done. I'll steal my food. Okay. There you go. Here's a little arsenic. How about that? That might be going a little over the top. Why? Why? Haven't you worked with someone that you want to put arsenic in their food? Coming up next, we hear from the answers, yes. So, we do. I got a couple of program directors, I would have tried that. Yes. Coming up, Tom Thayer with the latest on the Bears and the Colts. That's in two minutes on Captain Jay Hook.
