Granger, for the ones who get it done. It's the View from the Nosebleeds Podcast with your hosts, Jeff Berg and Justin Everett. The one of the first childhood memories I have is going to Shea Stadium. You know, it was '86 or '87, so the Mets were really good. And they had this brand to them, this gritty brand. You know, you had Dijkstra, you know, it called Nails, you had Howard Johnson, Keith Hernandez, right? They're known for, like, doing coke in the clubhouse. So the winning run is at second base with two out, three in two to Lookey Wilson. Little roller up along first, behind the bag, it gets through Buckner, here comes Knight in the match with it. Back and filed, obviously, on those runs from '07 to '11, and the four horsemen and all the shit that the Phillies put together in that run was tremendous. You know, getting to watch in person, Roy Halliday, throw a baseball from my team, it was really what kind of built the Phillies up for me. Halliday is one strike away, the O2, a bouncer, Ruiz, in time, Roy Halliday has thrown a low hitter. And now, review from the nosebleeds. Well, welcome to a view from the cheap seats. We have a name, Justin. I'm excited to be here. Before we get started, I just want to let you know that we are up and running on all major podcast platforms, except for Apple. Those motherfuckers are pieces of shit, and they take forever. I still like their phones. Yeah, well, you have your phone. You have your phone, you have the Apple phone, I have the Samsung will never be able to communicate because Apple refuses to the Apple by Mac. Well, I think that wedge between my Mac book couldn't get us on tonight, like your own book did, but I still I still like the phone. All my non Apple products are working perfectly. But you can you stick with with the with the Mac and the Apple bullshit. Look for our social media is to be up in the next week or so. But look, I'm super excited. I put it in the notes. Great week for the pukestar. Week four for Justin, which is crazy. Not horrible. But look, I can't remember a time as a sports fan with reading some for my teams where I've been excited for both teams at the same time. That's a weird way to say that you like terrible teams for most of your life. But yeah, I mean, it is it's if I had a friend of mine text me the other day. And I actually, you know what, I'm going to read it exactly to you because it made me maybe Giggle left and the thing is Andrew. He's a he's a good guy. What did he say to me? It was in my voice me a hole in one second. It was hilarious. His his message was, are the bangles terrible? Please just tell me the bangles are terrible and Washington isn't actually kind of good this year, Justin. I need you to tell me that the next word out of your very Italian mouth better be the bangles are terrible and Washington's like good. And I told him like I told you last week when we talked like I've been saying for six months, Jane Daniels is a real quarterback, dude. I don't know how you feel. It's got to be weird for you to have one of those, but you have a real quarterback. Well, we're going to get to Jane Daniels a little bit later. You know, I if I was answering that question, like if I was seriously answering that question, I would say probably a little bit of both at this point. Like I don't want to get too up on Washington because it's still very early and they they clearly have a lot of issues, a lot of holes on that team that are going to be exposed throughout a very long season. But right now in this moment, the bangles, they were talking Super Bowl contender at the beginning of the year. They were my pick for the Super Bowl this year, by the way, but now I'm having to walk that back quick. Free season. They were yeah, stirs. We've just got even better. Yeah, huge upset. No one can deny that. And look, Cincinnati's defense, I mean, you could call it. You could say it was terrible. It's fine. But their offense played as it was supposed to. T Higgins coming back, Jamar Chase looked like a dominant receiver once again. Joe Borrell made every throw he needed to. Anybody just a little bit better, man. It's a little bit better as a youngster. And then on the other hand, we have the Eagles who pulled out a win. And look, I hate giving Eagles Eagles credit, but it took a lot of guts because they didn't look like they did not play well in any phase of the game, except for maybe defense. I think there's an argument to be made that they played good defense. And I have in the notes here, you know, for a team that's been down so long and been so terrible for so long, the kind of win that we saw in week three, it's they played above their expectation. What is the Eagles? You know, when a team, if Washington would have lost this game, a lot of people fans mostly would have said, well, this is a moral victory, right? They played well enough to win. They just didn't pull it out. When they get some, when they turn that corner, these are games that they're going to win in the future, right? Sure. Some people believe in a moral victory. Some people don't. What is the opposite of a moral victory? Because the Eagles won, but it didn't really feel like they want. It's more evidence that you should have fired your head coach, dude. That's what they have. It's more evidence that you should have fired your head coach. It's Nick Sirionny. I mean, you can't look at the sideline when Nick Sirionny's taken charge and everybody's disorganized. Nobody knows where the fuck to be. Nobody knows what's coming next. There is a problem with that head coach and not just the quarterback. I think he's got an issue with that team and unfortunately for us Eagles fans, we don't fire coaches in the middle of the year. We could lose 11 of the next 12 games and he will end the season as the Eagles head coach. They'll finally move on from him. We'll go again before you get into this territory of there. You're just a coach factory and you just run through them. I don't disagree, but I think Helen Keller could tell you this guy's not a good one. So listen, it sucks. We have to do it again, but we have to do it again. Nick Sirionny's just terrible. That was another example of the talent of this team out willing their idiot coach. That's Jalen Hertz talk. I texted you. I told you every moment that I'd get to where I'm like, "Oh God, I'm like Jalen Hertz might not be a $250 million quarterback. This game's really concerned in me." For the last five minutes of the game, he plays like the second best quarter back in the league. And again, that's what happened. He put the team on his back. They want Dallas Goddard of like a little engine that could got him all the way down to the five and the defense played well. I think again, though, I'm going to keep saying this, I think, through at least the first quarter of the season, the defense played in the preseason. Vic Sanjio doesn't give those guys days off. They've had rhythm. They know where to be. They're familiar with the scheme and the plays. The offense is still wearing the playbook because they didn't play in the preseason. I will be the old man that dies on that front lawn. Yeah, I guess if they were two year in year two, three of that system, maybe you don't need the preseason reps, but certainly when you're learning a new offense, I would imagine it would help. And this is the third of Jalen Hertz's NFL career. That's also part of it. This is the third one he's learning. It's just crazy. Second one in two years. Yeah, that's tough. Went through that a lot in Washington. Before we go any further, did you know, I really had a struggle with always going to put up the blue and orange or the burgundy and gold lights. And I don't really have any new commander's paraphernalia. I had to go with the retro. That's okay. You went right along to it, right. Because yeah, we'll get to baseball in the second segment. I want to ask you because, and we talked about this a little bit, you hire someone like Kellen Moore who had coaching interviews. And somewhat argue maybe if you stayed in Dallas for another year or two, would probably be a head coach already, you bring him in to redesign your offense and build it around Jalen Hertz and the talent that they have. And then you look on the sideline during these fourth down calls and Sirionny's in Hertz's ear. Now, I'm not a head coach, obviously. I'm not qualified to coach a football team, but it seems to me, if you're paying if you're bringing in this high profile offensive coordinator, get the fuck out of his way. Let him, he should be the one talking to Hertz on those big plays. Sirionny absolutely makes the call whether to go for it or not on those fourth downs, but it should be Kellen Moore in Hertz's ear talking about what he wants him to do. Agree? Yeah, well, without question, I mean, this is for us educated Eagles fans, the ones that actually are our football watchers and not just bandwagon Eagles fans. There is no question when they hired Kellen Moore, we all got excited. We all said, okay, Nick might be staying, but they're giving the offense to someone capable like Shane Steichen had the couple years before. And then Nick Sirionny came out a couple of days later with his first press conference after the hiring and made it very clear that this wasn't going to be Kellen Moore's offense. This was going to be a mesh of Kellen Moore's offense and Nick Sirionny's offense and some things that Brian Johnson might have done before and some things that Shane Steichen might have done before and an amalgamation of the best ideas. And I said at that very moment, and I've been saying every time someone there, he should have been fired after that press conference. He is the problem. He believes that he's some offensive dynamo and can't handle the moment. He's also, I don't know what this is, man. I love athletes like Bryce Harper, who are passionate, loud, like, you know, get break system of the playoffs and is yelling, fuck you at the picture, the threw it at him. I like that about a player. When it's a coach, I don't like it. And like Sirionny's like, raw, raw, yell at the Chiefs fans and all that other bullshit he does. Sometimes it's cool in the moment. And as a fan of that team, it's easy to get behind it. But it's like one of those things where like, you get upset with somebody, yell at him and you're driving home, you're like, man, I probably shouldn't fucking said that that way. I don't like it when it's a coach. And that's who he is. And the adult in this room is the quarterback who's 25 years old and has been given too much to handle his own fucking life. Mixerion is a problem. Kellen Moore should make the play. I think Kellen Moore should have control of whether or not they go for it. If you're giving him the reins of the momentum of that offense, he should be the guy that knows. If they're in the position to go convert that fourth down. I don't think Siriionny should have anything to do with any of it. Well, I mean, I disagree there because as the head coach that, I mean, you have to do something. But it should be Siriion saying, hey, Kellen, what do you have for this situation? Do you have a play for us? Are you confident? And Kellen should be yes or no? And if it's yes, let's go. Rally your guys and get this yarn. But where as last year, even as much as they struggled at times, if they were fourth, fourth and two, fourth and one, it was a guaranteed first down. Last week, I mean, it looked like the play calls that they made that the fake push push was made the worst call. Now, if it worked, we'd probably be saying, oh, that was cool. But it just seemed like a really, really uncalled at lack of confidence. Well, and this is a crux of a point that a lot of Eagles fans just don't want to acknowledge. Is Jalen Hertz not? It is not the same athlete he was two years ago. He's just not the wear and tear they put on here. And he carries it and you can see it. He's not as explosive. He's not as strong. And the guy dealt with a knee injury for 11 weeks last year. Do we think he was squat in 600 pounds while he had a knee injury? No, man, like it was muscle mass over time. And it's clearly effective. And that's why they need to develop an offense with a short to intermediate passing game that gets him in a rhythm. And if the big play comes, the big play comes. They they scheme off opposite though. Nick Siriani is a big play guy and big play stopper. He wants a defense that's focused on stopping big plays. And he doesn't care about getting shredded by Derek Carr at 85% efficiency. And he wants to look for every single big play on offense. The first two reads are streaks down either side of the field just to see if some guy beat is marked. And it's just such an elementary basic dumb offense. And when Kellen Moore gets involved, we have plays like that Dallas Goddard play, a double crosser that opens up your best receiver on the field, which was a tremendously run and executed and called players. That's Kellen Moore. And he needs to be in control of those plays, bro. Nick Siriani shouldn't be that that play that play won the game. And last week, we talked about Bryce Harper being the best free agent Philadelphia in any sport, you know, best free agent signing of any sport. I would I would also argue that even if it's just for this year and Philadelphia ends up and makes a deep run to the playoffs, it's because of Saquan Barkley. If he stays healthy, if they go to a Super Bowl, you're 100% right. If they make a Super Bowl run winner, win, lose or draw a Super Bowl. It doesn't matter how it ends. If they make a run and Saquan stays healthy and plays the way he has through three weeks, he's without question the best free agent ever signed by the Eagles. They've said there's no doubt about that. Yeah. They've never had Brian Westbrook was a really good running back. The Showman court was a really good running back. None of those guys were a three down back that could pass block, catch the ball and run better than anybody really in the league. It's so refreshing, he's an Eagles fan. I love it so much. He's got to stay healthy, but I mean, wow. Correct. Yeah. And you could be if without Barkley, I mean, you could conceive a Lubeo in three right now, conceivably, definitely. Like, I mean, I'll back up your affirmative statement. Yeah. So is this here is a question because you have the burgundy gold knocking on the door. Is this sustainable? It's a type of the way that the Eagles are played is not sustainable. We saw last year the discombobulation is not sustainable. And again, the offense is too good. I get there is a small asterisk here because of injuries. Devonta got his fucking head cleaned off against the Saints. AJ Brown's been a little bit hurt. There's some injury issues. So I can't really say that this is the product that's going to be like, I could have weeks 15 last year, where it was clear that this was the drag we were going to end the year with. But no, it's not sustainable. Of course, it's not sustainable. And you know, how he rose was a great GM. But man, he got, he got stiffed on that John Dodson deal. Does he have a catch for you guys yet? I don't believe so. But that's not his worst signing of this off season. His worst move this off season was Bryce Huff, who got paid $60 million to come to Philadelphia and only played 18 snaps and was sat down on the bench in the first half yet on on a that came on Sunday. So this is how he doesn't miss often. But when he misses, it's usually bad. But boy, he didn't give up a third round pick to sign that because it's just money and they can get out of that contract next year. Yeah, but I think that he's done around that and I'm ready to train. And and and Dodson, well, I mean, he played 62 snaps and I don't even think he had target. I can't do the this is like Dodson, you know this. Dodson is not a down the field receiver. He is a member of the middle member. He's no settle down, easy killer. He's an over the middle short yardage. He's a guy who's going to get you four or five yards, a short handed target. He's not going to make plays. He's not a play-making receiver. He's a possession receiver that should be a checkdown. But when you have as Jalen Hertz three reads, which is deep left, deep right run, you never even use that guy. That's why Dallas Goddard's numbers are so low. They've had one of the best tightheads in football for five years and they just don't throw the fucking ball to the tight end. They don't scheme the offense that way. It's dumb. You mentioned Jalen Hertz is age 25. It was the way he not only looks on the field sometimes, but also him in press conferences. I know he's a really low key guy, but it just sounds like he's 45. It sounds like the lead to hard life, doesn't it? Yes. In a very short amount of time. I feel bad for the guy sometimes. He sounds like the guy at the end of the bar at the VFW to tell you what I'm saying, bro. That's what he's saying. He sounds like the guy that piano man was written about. It's so fucking true, man. That is the truth. All right. Well, let's talk about their defense real quick, because the Saints came in hot. I mean, their offense looked like 91 points in two games. Is this more of what we saw? Is this more of a really, really good Eagles defense or where the Saints is coming back to Earth? Because no one, no one picked the Saints to be this good. Some of both obviously, there's usually a little bit of truth in both answers. I think if I had to pick one more though, it is the Eagles defense. I think San Gio is, this is his track record. He's, he finds a fucking bunch of guns with coach. Dude, he finds a bunch of tri-heart that are kind of like C. Jake Orger Johnson's and fucking Reed Blanking ships and Brandon Graham's like some old broke down toys and a bunch of misfits. And he creates a pretty good defense if the effort's there. And that's one thing that this defense will give his effort. It was, I think that I 70% the Eagles defense is real this year. 30% obviously, the Saints weren't going to fucking score the way they did the first two weeks. I mean, yeah, they had to come back. Nobody thinks the Saints are making the playoffs this year and they shouldn't think that. So, yeah, I think both are true here. Well, speaking of C.J. and Gardner Johnson, oh my God, I don't know if you noticed this, but it was like a fourth and two and a Saint handed off to Alvin Kamara, maybe his third down. I don't know. Anyway, he got the first down. Gardner Johnson came up and laid up a banger on Kamara. And, but he got the first down and Gardner Johnson got up and celebrated. I want to punch him in the face. I'm not even Eagles fan. Like, dude, what the fuck are you celebrating? Oh, what do you do? So, listen, man, you got to see that that's not championship football. You know, that's why I don't think I agree with you. And here's why. I think he is he is like the enforcer on a hockey team. He's not going to be a highlight real guy. Sometimes we'll get in an exception, right? He'll score a goal every now and again. Like it's easy. He's not useless. That's the energy of a momentum guy. Well, he's an energy and a momentum guy. And if he comes in and lays the fucking hammer on a guy who's been wrecking a league, it's a momentum thing. I hear where you're coming from as a football purist. I feel the same way. But I look at how this team is constructed this defense especially. And the only reason they brought him back was to be a spark plug. That's his job. He's going to piss me off and he should. So did Sean Avery. Like, you know, there's some guys that that's their job. All right. So on the other side, well, I shouldn't say on the other side, just a couple miles south in the exact opposite. We saw Washington's offense grow up right in front of our eyes. Their defense. My God sucks. I mean, it's it's it's really hard to watch. And, you know, it's really tough for me because it it I want to be I want to be as excited as possible, right? This is a lot of good things happening. And I believe that Dan Quinn and Joe with junior are good defensive coaches. And I want to believe that the defense is getting better. And there were some things even though they gave up 30 million points. They did some things that saw that maybe they're growing in that system. But I have to complain as a Washington fan. I wish I had to find something to complain about. We have two of the highest paid defensive tackles in the entire league. And there's nowhere to be found. Yeah, it's it's mind blowing to me. Meanwhile, that big fat motherfucker Jordan Davis was everywhere against the Saints. Unbelievably, that dude has two games a year where he just goes like meth strong. Nobody knows why or how it gets there. I will tell you this. So a couple things. Yeah, the defense is not great. And but you do have some good players. I think there's some use on that side of the ball that again, if efforts there and you've got a good defensive coordinator, you're not going to like the world on firing. I can go get a hundred million dollar contract to become the greatest at your position. But they're going to put you in good position to succeed. I think coaches like Dan Quinn are like that. Offensively, you wrote some egregious shit in our notes. But I'm willing to meet you in the middle of the Washington and Eagles fandom that we're going to split on this point. You said that Jaden Daniels had and I quote one of the five best throws you've ever seen, which is my lifetime. But let me give you that let me give you let me give you a little bit. Okay, what I will say is is Jaden Daniels had the best game, one of the 10 best games I've ever seen a rookie play in any position ever. And I probably push him closer to five than I would to 10. It was an unbelievable performance. I again, you know, I'm a fan of the kid. I think he's going to be a good player. I liked what I saw coming out of college. I thought he was better than Caleb Williams and more ready now, which is why I thought it was bad he went to Washington because you don't want to squander him early. But he is finding ways to be effective. And again, when you've got a little bit of spark like that guy, man, some athleticism, a fucking monster arm. He makes great plays. He is spirals beautiful. I think he's I told my told Jack told Andrew and he's going to watch this and I'm sorry again to disappoint you. There is a real quarterback a couple miles south now. And like, thankfully, the Giants are going to suck forever and Dakota just got 60 million. But Jaden Daniels is going to be a player in this league for a long time. Yeah. Let me let me go through that throw because this was a big boy throw. He was no doubt. And you have to, you know, the rest of my notes here is and I don't know if you agree or disagree, but that Brett Favre throw in the Minnesota playoff game last second from 40 yards. It was a laser to the back of the end zone. The dude's 40 fucking years old. I mean, that might be the best throw I've ever seen in my life. That might be the best throw in the history of football. Wait one second right there before you get a needle from 40 yards away. You're right. You're right. But the Ben Roethlisberger pass in the Super Bowl to San Antonio Holmes in the back corner was a far better pass than that one. And that's not even on your list, Jeffrey. That's why I have issues with this list. I may I why it's not an official list. Okay. I didn't go through it. All right. All right. All of the highlights. I just as I'm watching it, I'm like, Holy shit, that's a top that's a top five throw. It has to give you I'll give you this much right now. It's the best pass of this season so far and it's going to be hard to beat it. There's no question. It's going to be your wall. There's no doubt about that because and and the commentary afterwards from the players, right? I don't know if you stayed up late and watched the Scott Van Pelt interview with Terry McClaren, but they he they went to Cliff Kingsbury and said, uh, Cliff, throw throw the lead chain and throw the ball to me back in the end zone. I'll catch it, right? That that's shit that we did in backyard football, right? That's shit that they did two years ago to have a an offensive coordinator so early on, trust his players and then call the play and trust a rookie QB in his third start to stand in the pocket, knowing he is going to take a gigantic hit. That was a big boy. If that was Tom Brady, thrown a flag. It was a great hit. It it fucking got me excited because he stood in and he couldn't follow through and he dropped it in the buckets in the only spot. Perfect. It's it was unbelievable. Unbelievable. And that's not me seeing this as a Washington fan. That is me as a football fan. It was a big, big boy hit and everything that I said about Cliff Kingsbury early on about me being disappointed in how basically offensive was. I take it back. Forget it all. It's all gone. It's all gone. It's been this week when they come back down to earth and and Arizona destroys them, but but look, I can see the plan now. I can see that. Okay. They were easing him in and you talk about those easy intermediate short rhythm throws that that they should be calling for jail and hurts or any quarterback for that matter. Doesn't matter how long they've been in this league. Those you know, getting that's what they've been doing. That's what they've been setting up for the first two weeks and they they let him loose in week three partly because he was ready and partly because they had to because Cincinnati was going to score on every single possession. And the stat that gets me excited the most, even though they didn't score a touchdown last week, they have not punted in two weeks. Yeah, that's pretty deadly. Listen, there you you got a quarterback who has the ability to sustain and carry drives and make plays, man. Like this is what you dream about. And I have to tell you, it's no matter what you do, you know, if you sell shit for a living, you go start in a new company, they don't hand you a $10 million account. They have to build your confidence up some. It's about getting some swag underneath your feet and knowing that you know what to do in the moment and then giving the opportunity for the moment. See, this is that it's surprisingly going right in Washington right now. That's mind blowing to me. It's why I have to disappoint all my friends and let them know like, yeah, maybe we have a team that we have to actually because the Cowboys are never real. We all know maybe a little bit of division, but they're going to get their fucking teeth kicked in the next week in the playoffs every time. Washington could be a team because they now have a dynamic player in a position at quarterback that can be a difference maker. And that is what changes franchises, man. Doesn't matter how many Terry McClellan's or fucking edge rushers or middle linebackers or corners you get. If you get that quarterback, right, you have a chance to win every single year. Yeah. And well, if this was two or three years ago under the old ownership, they would have already brewing this kid. So I got a question and Ron. Listen, I appreciate it. I understand the struggle, the cancer, all that big ups, big prayers, hopefully everything goes right in your life or everything that you need. Great coach, but man, was it time. There's a certain time where a guy's voice stops making any difference in the players. And that time had come and gone for a while. Yeah, I don't disagree. But at the same time, I think, and I think this goes for most every once in a while, you'll find a unicorn coach that can be a general general manager and have final say on personnel and coach of all team. But it's rare. And the same thing, Bill Belichick, who I think we could agree is the greatest coach ever, can't also be the GM. That's where it went wrong in doing one for him, which is pretty part of why that's the best coach ever. Well, part of why he's not the best coach ever. He just can't. You have to come forward, metalized, but well, that's one time Brady Tom Brady won't doubt him. And Bill Belichick hasn't won double digits in stop left. Tom Brady was at the end of that vehicle. But if somebody was was making personnel decisions for him, he could focus on coaching. And that person was a better talent evaluator than Bill Belichick. One could argue that it's possible he could have won double digit games. It made playoff runs and things like that. Andy did two franchises, and he's won a handful of Super Bowls. I'm just Andy Reed's a better coach and Bill Belichick. We can argue about that. I agree. I agree. Andy Reed is probably the best coach on the face of the earth. He's what I'm comfortable saying about Andy is he's the greatest coach that I've ever seen. But I can't really talk about fucking Bill Walsh. Really, I can go back and watch tape. I can know what they did. But Andy Reed is the best coach of my lifetime, and there's no close second. Bill Walsh was innovative. He changed the game, right? His place in history is is unquestionable. Andy Reed, he's great for so many reasons, but one of them is that he adapts. And he changes based on the needs of the team and the talent he has, right? When they lost Tyree Kill and they couldn't take the top off of, he built an offense around check-downs, right? And his seventh round Isaiah Pacheco that they won a Super Bowl with. Yes. Because he's just, he's one of the greatest offensive minds that has ever lived. Absolutely. And the best of my lifetime. Yes. And you know, he wasn't at the level, but Mike Shannon had that ability to pluck a sixth or seventh round running back and plug him into the system. And it would make him look like a Hall of Fame, made Hall of Fame. For sure. Yeah. Andy Reed. I agree with you. I agree with you. We love him. He's definitely a better coach. Yeah. Yeah. He can't believe he's still healthy. I'll let him go. Fuck Donovan. We love Andy. That'll always be my sentiment. Well, and what's amazing. Now we're getting, we're getting completely off topic, but it's fine. I love talking this. What, what it has become so obvious about Donovan, and I don't want to take anything away from Donovan McNabb because the guy, the guy seems like a good guy. He worked hard. He cared about winning. He, you know, he cared about his teammates. He, you know, and he, he played well within the system, but he is a product of Andy Reed's coaching 100%. Yeah. And I would argue that I don't think that it's a good rap to go. He, he cared about his teammates because I remember watching Terrell Owens in his driveway doing push-ups and Donovan McNabb doing fucking nothing for his teammate. But like it's, he was not a good teammate. Well, neither was Terrell Owens. Come on. Like Terrell Owens is mad. But he's not supposed to be. But this is, this, this is manning to me. I promise we'll get back on topic after this, but this is manning to me. A wide receiver who is, is one of the three best in the league at the time in history. I don't care whatever you're looking in. Go all the way back to fucking Concrete Charlie. It doesn't matter. The wide receiver is a fucking nut case. They, it's, it's part of the resume. You can't be an elite receiver without being fucking #CTESPA Antonio Brown. You, you are a lunatic. You know, you're a prima Donna. You want everybody to look at you. There's one unicorn. There's two unicorns that, that separate from this and they're both within the last 30 years. And it's Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson. You're the only two. Every other one is a fucking nut job. And an elite franchise level quarterback has to understand that. And Donovan wasn't, which is why he didn't. My digression is over. Well, you know, I, I would, I would argue that quarterbacks have studied that relationship. I think it's like a, a, a for every team. They're like, look, this is, you know, this could have been the best, one of the best wide receiver quarterback combinations for a long period time. This is what not to do. Sometimes he's got to eat crow, but he did the same thing in Dallas. He did the same thing in San Francisco. Like T.O. is, is like, there's, yeah, you're right. A lot of receivers are headcases. Not case. Yeah. But T.O. was equally as responsible for that breakdown as Donovan McNabb is. But I agree with you. As a franchise quarterback, it is your job to make it work. Yes. Thank you. So T.O. was a little responsible. Donovan was mostly, I love that. Yeah. But as soon as he went to Washington, you could see that Donovan could not hit the broadside of a barn, which is why Andy reads screen game, which you couldn't defend it back then. Like I watched that screen game with Westbrook, ate up Washington every time they played. And it was, it was maddening to watch. They could not stop it. But the reason that's, that was the majority of the offense is because that's the only pass that Donovan McNabb could really hit other than running around sometimes and tossing it up to T.O. And then he could only hit that screen pass only sometimes. He threw a couple at their feet. Yeah. There's a few worm burners in there. There's no down. There's a couple. Yeah, a couple. Yeah. All right. So let's take a break and get to baseball because another good week for the poster in baseball. Better for me though. Yeah, we'll be right back.

Welcome back to a view from the cheap seats. No, no, a view from the nose bleeds. We were looking at the name being a view from the cheap seats, but somebody already has that name. So we went with nose bleeds. So we only sort of ripped them off. Yeah. Listen, man, inspiration comes from all kinds of places. Okay, look, I'm, you know, I went to school for filmmaking and it's like the first thing they teach you is like, you're not going to do anything different that hasn't been done already. You're just going to rip it off and try to make it better. Maybe make it your own. Correct. That's what we did. Correct. All right. Let's talk baseball. Big four game series between the Mets and the Phillies, right? Yeah, it was Mets took three out of four. It was a great series. It was really, it really makes me excited. I hope that they get to play each other in the playoffs. I really do. What do you mean three now to get in four to get in? What's your number? We're game up on Atlanta. We lost last night. Unfortunately got spanked. Fucking Atlanta is our crypt tonight, man. Orleans for the Vinley's, bro. Yeah. Oh my God. It's just it, but it's been going on for like 35 years, all through the 90s, all through the 2000s recently. But the Mets have been giving this shit beat out of them by everybody for 35 years, haven't they? Yeah. Mostly, mostly on. Yeah. But it was a good, it was a good series. I mean, it was it was nice baseball to see. I have to tell you it's shitty to be on the side. I'm one and three. I hate that part. I do appreciate that. I did clench the division. And then just tonight we clench the first run by, which is beautiful for us. Yeah. But the Mets are the real deal and I am also intrigued that the I. And deep on being able to see these two teams play each other in a series and playoffs. I think it would be pretty electric. It's a it's well, it's big of you to admit that. And I want to ask you a question. Is it bigger that the Mets won three out of four against the Phillies or that you guys clinched the division and a playoff spot? I don't know what happened there. I lost your audio. There we go. Can you hear me now? Yeah. The divisions irrelevant. We went to the World Series in the NLCS as a wild card team. I don't care about the division. I'm much more pissed. I lost three to the Mets. Well, I mean, I'm surprised we agree on this, but it's a good point. I just think it was it's a bigger deal that we show that we can compete with one of the team with the fighting for the best record and clinch first round by. So that was that was certainly more impressive than what the Phillies did to limp into the division and then grab the first round by the Mets team who's literally fighting for a spot one of the last spots with the playoffs beating the best team in baseball right now three out of four in the last week of the season. That was far more impressive. I can hit that out loud. You know, so so game one, you know, Met score 10 runs, but the Phil's, I mean, made it a game the whole way. I was sweating the entire time. Game two, you guys spanked us. Game three, we came back and spanked you. And game four was probably one of the best games I've watched all year. Wheeler pitched a great game and lost to one. But there was a great defense, great pitching. And for Mendoza to bring Diaz coming off of a missing an entire year with a blown out knee to pitch, you know, two innings get a six out save was gutsy. Gutsy, because he's been he's been great at times. He's shown, you know, his own old self, but he's he's had streaks of a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there was that was so awesome. Awesome series. The first playoff game this year between the Mets and the Phillies. And it was, it was a great way to end it because I was disappointed already. And I was like, if they're going to lose, I at least hope it's a game, you know, I don't want to see another end to six final. I want to see a game. And it's Zach Wheeler. So you're like, you know, you're going to get at least a good outing, hopefully for seven innings. And he's really going to ace on your staff and he gives you like eight tremendous innings. And the offense just fucking forgot to show up for work that day, man. Well, and it took, it took our entire entire staff because we had Tyler McGill go. So it was a complete mismatch. Like everybody picked the fills to win that game. I also want to point out that you sent me a text message early on in the third game and say, swab, right with a little give, a little gift. How did that work out for you? How about your mom? Where did we just last week talk about how when he leads off with a home run, they never lose. They always win. And they didn't understand. It's okay. I'll take that heat on me. That was my jinx. I apologize. Well, I'm glad you did it. All right. And I didn't respond until after the game was over to make sure that I didn't jinx. Regents, my team. You see, I'm right. I did it wrong. Jeff, you had me this time, pal. I keep forgetting your Mets fan, you know, the Mets fan that juju they put on you. Now, you know, fillies fan across the nation are pissed at you. But it's okay. I'll take this one. This one's on me. I'll take that one for the team. That's my fault. So also, wait a second before we pass this one. It's still Kyle's four versus the best leadoff hitter in baseball, by the way, and it's still the question. No, no, absolutely not. You can't tell me. That's what I'm exactly what I'm going to do next. Last week, we talked about the greatest leadoff hitter, you know, on the planet this year, and fucking show. Hey, Otani, who you said is, you know, who were going to win the MVP, who's having the Barry Bonds is 11th best season, which is in and of itself amazing. And you're telling me that he's not a better leadoff hitter. He's got more home runs. He's got a better one base percentage. He steals bases. I have. You don't have to use word for that. Wait, I have one question. There's one question that answers this. When Mookie Betz is fully healthy, who leads off, not show. Hey, show is a leadoff hitter by necessity right now. Their lineup is all over the place. They've had monstrous injuries all year. He's not pitching, which is a big reason why he's leading off. That's why he was able to steal 50 bases this year because he's not throwing. He's not a leadoff hitter. This is an aberration, an aberration in his career. This is the first time he's been a leadoff hitter. No, I'm not going to take the last three years. I've seen Kyle Swarber be the best leadoff hitter in baseball and go show. He didn't want so he's better. No, sir. I'm not that guy. Well, he didn't do it once. He's doing it all year. Like Mookie Betz was injured for a long time. I don't know. It's one time when he's been back for months now. And they haven't moved it back into the leadoff spot. When Elle says, show how Tani laid off in his career. What else? Tell me where was it? He didn't. He's not a leadoff hitter. He's not going to be a leadoff hitter in Chicago. It wasn't until Boston that they so he had a first time too. Would you move show? Hey, oh, Tani out of the leadoff spot at this point? I have no 100%. Yeah. And not doing it is going to be the reason why the Dodgers lose in the first round. They play again. He's having the best offensive season of his career, which is the bar was set so high before that. From the leadoff spot, the majority of the season, I would expect to be fired as a manager if I took him out of the leadoff spot. Well, they're not going to. And that's why they're going to lose. That's all I'm saying. Well, they're going to lose because they're the Dodgers and they they're the waves of the west. And they do dumb things like put Showeo Tani at leadoff in a playoff series. When you might have one chance with him at the plate with two guys on to even be able to beat or come at one of these pitches you're going to run up against. The Dodgers make shitty decisions. And one of those decisions is having Showeo talking about Swarber. There's a lot of people that would argue that you would move him better line up with people on base. They've tried. They've tried. They've tried. He sucks. They've tried. We tried this with Kyle Swarber in Philadelphia. He sucks. I don't know what it is about him. I don't know if it's the fact that he loves wah wah hoagies. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with him. He can only perform from the 1 0. That's where he's effective. They put him at the 3. They put him at the 5. They put him at the 7. He's not good unless he's hitting leadoff. I don't get it. I'm not saying I have the answers. I'm just telling you it's the truth. All the numbers bear out. Did you watch the whole game on ESPN Sunday? I did. Did you did you catch his interview when he was in the cage in between? I had pieces of it. I was in the other room. Yeah. It's just amazing to me. He's very thoughtful. He went through his process and what he looks for while he's down there working on his craft as a DH. It amazes me that he has had a holy success from the leadoff. When you pay that much attention to detail, when you're that knowledgeable hitter, you think it would work everywhere. Yeah. It just does. I don't know why it does. It's infuriating. When a guy hits 40 home runs, I want him to hit four, but he can't. I don't get it. It infuriates me. Well, I personally prefer the players that can that are flexible. It's OK. OK, OK. Speaking of flexible, how upset are you? How upset are you that there's another a kuna in the fucking division? It's irrelevant to me. I don't need details. You can have them all. Oh, stop. Stop. I don't need the kunis. And listen, let's settle down. OK, Ellie Taylor Cruz was the greatest fucking thing since sliced bread like 18 months ago, and we've all come back down to earth a little bit on him. Oh, Neil Cruz, another one of those. He's going to get MVP votes, Justin. He started going here. Are you? Did you just try to? You're not trying to tell me that the Mets like little cousins, brothers, sisters, uncles, nephew, a gun yet is going to get MVP votes one day, right? Like one day maybe. This is great. You are blinded by your orange. Did you watch the four games? He played? Dude, dude, do you understand that Alec Boom and Bryson Stott are two young players on this team that I've had to keep reminding myself are young players every time something good happens. Do you know that I have a young man that I work with? They know who thinks Bryson Stott is the second coming of Jayce Utley, and I have to consistently remind him. He's just too young to remember how good Jayce Utley was. It's easy to overreact to a couple of good games, Jeffrey. You're going to have it. He looks great. Another Akuna. I bet he's out of the league in two years. Oh, stop. Stop. That was that. I said what I said. I said what I pedigree. Come on. Oh, I'm like, what pedigree, right? What do you want to bet on that? I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to put a lot of two years, but we need to we need to put a bet on this, right? Are you going to think he's out of the league in two years? What pedigree, Jeffrey? What category are you talking about? Ronald, as one in MVP, he had one of the greatest offensive seasons last year. He's quit on his team three years in a row. He's quit on his team three years in a row since it won't World Series. What are you talking about? He quits. He quits. He quits. That's why he gets hurt. He quits. He puts himself in bad positions. He gets hurt because he quits. He's not quitting. Spencer Strider went down. Ronald Lucuni's attitude went bad. All of a sudden, Ronald Cuni's out for the season. He's got a shit attitude. There is no pedigree. He's an elite athlete, and maybe that's in the blood. I don't fucking know. We're seeing this dude for like 17 games this year. Settle down. We'll see what happens. He's not going to be out of league two years. I can tell you that. I'll tell you what. I'll bet you. I'm not saying he's going to get MVP votes. I'm saying Ellie, Ellie, they will cruise. Yes. Everybody hyped him up as his rookie year. This year, he's having a very good year and he's going to get MVP votes. He didn't come back down to earth that much. He's having a great season. What? Ellie Delacruz is going to get MVP votes this year. The guy who leads the league at his position and errors. What? Yes. He's going to go and he's having a great off. Dude, dude, no. Go for whatever you feel. What are the errors? For the errors, he makes up with plays that nobody else can get to. So yes, there's a give and take there. I'm not saying he's fucking Ozzy Smith. I'm saying that he's having a great season at the plate and he's dynamic in the field. He's knocking MVP votes. Yeah, he is. He's Trey Turner, bro. He's Trey Turner. Trey Turner's not getting MVP votes and he shouldn't get them. He's a good world shop, but he's not an MVP. Trey Turner hasn't played enough games to get MVP votes, but there's there's seasons that Trey Turner has had that warrant MVP votes. Not this year. He leads the league in errors. I don't think that's I don't maybe it should be, but I don't think that's enough to not consider somebody for an MVP. Then you never have a conversation of whether DHS deserve to be MVPs because if you can lead the league in your position in errors, then all we care about is the statistics. Justin, that's why there's advanced statistics. I don't know what his way is defensive advanced statistics. But I promise you that he is a net positive in the field despite the errors that he made. So is Trey Turner, but he infuriates everyone and will never get MVP votes. That's all I'm saying. Trey Turner makes like 100 games this year and he 20 home runs. What are the what are the craziest say? Fuck your feelings. It's not about your feelings here. I understand that you get infuriated by the errors, but that doesn't mean that he's not a net positive. And dude, I don't think Ellie Delacruz gets MVP votes. If he does, those people should have their votes revoked. That's ridiculous. That's crazy. I think that Francesco Landor should win twice and I hate the Mets. Fuck the Mets as we've cleared up before. Francesco Landor should win twice before Ellie Delacruz gets a single vote. I said what I said, probably down there. I'm not going to disagree with that. Unfortunately, I had to put you there's going to be five or six players that get MVP votes and Ellie Delacruz is going to be one of them mark my words. So dumb. So we'll see. We're going to find out in a few weeks. Yeah, so dumb. I hate it. Well, look, if if the fills and Mets gets in the punch, if they're in the playoffs and they end up playing each other, I think we have to go to a game. Yes, they read. And I think we'll have to sit in the nose bleeds, no pun intended because I don't know what. Oh, of course. First, you don't know what a playoff ticket cost because I don't know how to buy one. We did need there for a very long time. I will. I will definitely. I'm assuming I'm hopeful at least that I'm lucky enough with my company to attend one with a couple of my customers. Once I find out, once we get there, let's make sure that we've got a series. And we will absolutely have to make it to a game. And I'll even do this for you. I would because it's not far. I would attend in city field as that were our only option. Well, I would say we should try to do both if possible, if financially reasonable, which is a big if and we could get to one at each stadium. Have you been the city field? Yeah, one. So I can't even remember when you're pre-COVID. I know that as my partner, you know, I mean, pre-COVID is post-COVID. That's like, it's like, but before crying, a beastie in 80. It's so true to you. Before happening and after the happening. Yeah, right. As a baseball fan, there's just certain stadiums that you have to go and check out. And the city field is now one of them. The citizens' bag is a great park. So fanway, if you haven't gone to fanway, go with this. I have. I took the tour. I have. I sold the dirt from Fenway. We, when you take the tour, before a game, they put you on the monster during batting practice. So like balls are flying over your head and stuff. It's fucking cool. Yeah. Really cool. Yeah, yeah. Of course, we've got to go Illinois for a while. Rick field was just everything that they say about just being in awe when you walk. It's like, it's baseball, Mecca, you know, sure. And originally, well, very cool. All right. So let's take a quick break. We're going to come back. We'll run through some football scores. Well, you want to talk about Juan Soto sweepstakes. I mean, it's right around the corner. And actually, you have a basketball thing on here, too. And I'm anxious to get your thoughts on this melt kite birthday. I don't know if you saw or not.

Welcome back. Let's what do you say we've run through the scores from last week and yeah, I'll give a comment on two on the games that are worth commenting on. That makes sense. Sure. Fire away buddy. You start the Jets Patriots Patriots. We were like, oh man, we're getting excited about the Patriots be playing above there. Oh, terrible. Yeah, and Aaron Rodgers looks like Aaron Rodgers and that just makes up a little bit. So I don't I don't know if it's gonna be a I don't know if he's gonna be able to keep it up, though. He looked good. I can't. Yeah, I hope not. I can't I can't handle the the New York Jets being irrelevant. Yeah, I just I can't handle it. And you know, Aaron Rodgers is such a prick too. Like I can't even Jets. It's yeah with the Jets do. Yeah, it's Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. It's not just the team. It's the guy. I agree 100%. Yeah, but there's nothing more beautiful than when Aaron Rodgers is backpedaling and he flicks his wrist and the ball goes 75 fucking yards in the air. Yeah, I don't know who he does those ayahuasca retreats talking to but those fucking pleadings or whatever got that arm jacked route. Yeah, yes. Even at 40 something. Giants pull off a win at the Browns. Both those teams are terrible, but I don't know. I think the Giants are like there's a playoff team a couple of years ago with a worse roster. The league neighbors is the real deal. Oh, they got a real receiver, bro. Has no question there. He is the real deal. I can't believe they let Bartley go. That was definitely better than that one that they let the Chiefs take. The areas Tony was that guy's name that they directed like 19th overall assumption a couple. Yeah, that was a little wish go that's now on the fucking street. Malik neighbors isn't. Yeah, he's a monster. He's got him. He's gonna keep getting better like he gets better and better ever like you could visually see him getting better and better every week. So yeah, every time at the around the same time when we're finishing finish year of the Justin's computer dies or something's got to do it from his car or his phone. I'm sorry. Now he's now he's driving and podcasting at the same time. Very dangerous. Don't try this at home. Don't say that. Police could be risky. The police do. Yeah, the police definitely listened to our show. Okay, so where were we at? Well, we were bears Colts. I mean, it's too early to say that Kale Williams is a bus, but ooh, wasn't good. He's struggling. Yeah, and then look again, when you when you get drafted to a dumpster fire organization that clearly doesn't have to get together, the branch manager of our Delaware branch is a big bear stand and he hates the ownership, hates it, the coaches that they hire says all the time until the owners are like forced legally to sell the team. They're always going to sell the fairs fans. I feel bad for men. Yeah, well, hey, look, I do and I don't I know what it's like to have bad ownership and a team that hates quarterbacks. Yeah, yeah, it's just familiar territory for you. And I get better fans. I get it. I feel bad for some of these kids, man, because Kale Williams obviously has some food there. But if you're not able to maximize the man, you get stuck. Again, it seems like so far Jane Daniel's got a good thing around them. And look, if you want to keep Eber Flus as the head coach, fine, but you need to go hire a stud offensive coordinator and say, he's yours. I'm not going to get in the way. That's what Dan Quinn did. Dan Quinn does not go anywhere near the offense. And that's his choice. And it's the right choice. And it's, I think this is going to start a trend, man. Like you look at a team like Houston, where he has Amigo Ryan, the defense's first head coach who gives his offense over to a real O.C. You have the same thing happening with Dan Quinn and Glick Kingsbury. I think you're going to see more and more of this to become Detroit with Dan Campbell. Like when when you get a defensive minded head coach, it will willing to give the reins to that offense over. Good shit can happen, man. It's just seems throw, put the ego aside. You know, you're you're the cut coach. You're getting paid the big but big butts. Let the let the talent do what it's supposed to for you. That's, you know, good leaders delegate. Texas Vikings, man, the Vikings dismantled the Texans. Sam Bradford. What? Sam Darnold. And Donald. Yeah, sorry. I don't know why every say every Sam's the same. Come on. Jeff, I don't understand this theme, bro. I mean, I understand Jeff and Jefferson is the best receiver in the league. I don't think anybody can really debate that. You March, eight is great. You lamb is great. AJ Brown is great. Justin Jefferson is a different guy. Yeah, he's wild. It makes Dan Darnold look that good and is obviously way more gold on that Minnesota could be a shaky good team this year. Yeah. And the text. I mean, the Texas are good. They look good the first two weeks. Vikings might be like one of the most complete teams out there right now. And they're young, you know, CJ, you're out going to go through some learning courage. It's going to be off. It's going to be down. And again, when you have a defense that coach, you're going to run into struggle. You're going to run into deal situations. I like Houston in the long run. But like any other team, they're going to have a little bit of a light off after what they did. Nobody expected what happened last year, you know? Yeah, charges, Steelers, Steelers, but I don't know, you know, the Steelers, Steelers are an interesting team. They're fun, fun to why they're interesting. I don't know if fun to watch is the right word, but they always seem to catch the team that they're playing at a moment that's really inconvenient for them. And they end up pulling out a win, not because they it's not that they're playing poorly or they're getting lucky there. I mean, they're playing solid football. Justin Fields clearly has as enough talent to win in this league. And with better coaching, you're seeing, you know, what he's capable of. But like the chargers, I bet the chargers this week, I got my ass in to me because Herbert, you know, re-injures that ankle. And I think up until then, the chargers were looking, you know, looking like they were going to win that game. So Steelers three. Yeah, I mean, Justin Herbert, another one, man, there's so much possibility. There's so much potential. He looks like he could be such a fucking great player in this league. And whether it's injuries or done coaches, I feel bad for him. And the Steelers are one of the, dude, look, Mike Tomlin's going to be one of the winningest coaches of all time. And it is amazing how often it seems that they got lucky. It really is. Yeah. That's the thing. Like I feel bad calling it luck because they're well coached, they're disciplined. They do this every year, no matter who's playing quarterback, they always find a way to, to win and sneak into the playoffs. But this, I mean, three and oh, they're, they're leaving that division. They're, you know, the bangles are, are, that fell off the face of the earth. The Ravens have a lot of ground to make up like they could, they could win this division. But Justin, I will, I will stress, don't forget just a few years ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers, I believe, started the season 10 or 11 and oh, and lost every game the rest of the year, including their playoff games. So I just say, this is in their history. Broncos, Buccaneers, Buccaneers came back down to earth. Broncos look like the Saints, you know, with Peyton coach again, years ago, um, flashing the pan, maybe, I don't know, we'll see. But, uh, I like their quarterback. You like bone? I thought, I thought this year, Jayden Daniels and Kayla Williams were clearly the two front runners with talent. And of the entire rest of the crowd was not a Jay Jay McCarthy guy. I felt Drake made was stupid. And number three, I'm a bow next guy, bro. I think he's going to be a real quarterback. We'll see. He's got the coach. I think he is. I don't think he's a, he's not a, um, he's had a time Brady Tate man in Patrick the Holmes, but he is a Kirk cousins and Kirk cousins can win you football games, man. He is one of this lead for a long time. Packers Titan speaking of quarterbacks getting it wrong, Titans shipped out the wrong QB. Yeah. Looks like a starter. Yeah. Well, again, I think there's some the Green Bay does with those quarterbacks, man. There's just some that they do. Jordan. Well, Malik Willis. There's something that they do with those quarterbacks, man. And Will Levis looks like a fucking stiff man. Like, if it's possible to have too many muscles to play in this league, Will Levis is that dude? His muscles are too big to play quarterback. That's an astute observation, Jeffrey. Thank you. Thank you. That's, I mean, that's why they pay us the big bucks here, right? Too muscular to play. No, sir. You can't throw the football. The fucking panther. The red rifle makes an appearance just in and and and and smacks the rate. The Raiders were playing above their talent level. Antonio Pierce looked like the coach of the century with that with what he was handed. And then the panthers come in who look like the exact opposite. Poorly coach, no talent. They don't seem to care. They play terrible every week. Play below their talent level, even though their talent is low. And then they come in and and Andy Dalton fires them up and gets the lit. You think they can sustain that? I've watched Andy Dalton win in this league before. I remember those Cincinnati Bengals teams have won 1213 games with Marvin Lewis and dad coach Andy Dalton can win. I mean, it's it's but it's Carolina. So you know, of course, it's not sustainable. Like it's not going to win. Yeah, this was a one week thing. Maybe two or three, but they're certainly not going to win the next two or three at May. Andy might look good. They're going to realize that he's fucking stone footed. And as long as you can beat one of their guards, they're going to collapse like every other time. We'll finish up. We'll look at the games for coming up this week real quick. But I think they have a tough, tough matchup coming up this week for dolphins. I know you're not too a fan, but they're fun to watch when they're healthy. And boy, they just did they depend on to making those those on time throws and without them, they look terrible. They I don't think they'll win another game without mostly get another quarterback in there that can and here's the thing, man. You don't need a good one. Like, I'm sorry, guys, I'm going to get a lot I get a lot of shit to the take, but it's the truth. Two is not that good. Like two, it doesn't do anything that the Kirk Cousins doesn't do. Two is not an elite quarterback. He just he knows how to throw the ball accurately. And he doesn't make bad decisions. It's really all the and it's all it is. I mean, of course, there's other guy that is a good quarterback, though. Like he's not you're right. He's not that's a good quarterback. Yeah. And the Seahawks, the Seahawks look like a legit team with a change of coaching there. Yeah, I just can't I just you know, as she knows, Miss Jeffrey, I believe it when I see it, I just can't until then I'm doing it for two years now. Well, what have they won? Well, I mean, they're a team that was the coaching was stale and they managed to win a few games. And and now they look, you know, look fresh, fresh voice. They're doing better than I thought. I'll give them that to come to another way. And that's okay. You're well, man. That is true. Yeah. Lions get back on track of the way. And I think they're good team Cardinals loss. I mean, Cardinals got a, you know, they're a couple of years away. But Cardinals are going to be bad. Cardinals are going to be dead as long as Kyle Emery is your quarterback. I'm sorry. You can't win with a JV quarterback. You can't do it. Oh, I don't know. I think I think he's recommitted. We'll see. Raven's Cowboys, the score was close, but the Ravens dominated his game on a great week. I love a week when the Dallas Cowboys fail again. Here's the thing. Go ahead. I don't understand what happens in that town. Jeff, I don't get it. I look at the players that they've acquired. I look at the defensive line that is unbelievable. I look at my compartments. I look at their corners. I look at their offense. But look at 60 million bucks a year for Dakota Prescott. I just, I can't understand. I don't what's happening. Why are they so bad? It doesn't make sense. It can sound the reason. They are the definition of toxic masculinity. Like they all are finger pointing at each other, all blaming each other. It's true. Maybe one of the best, you know, obviously we talked about Andy Reid, but one of the best feel very young. He feels like he's been coaching for 10 years, but one of the best young coaches out there. Sean McVay with zero receivers comes from behind and wins against the 49ers who are also banged up, but yeah, pretty big lead. Rams, you know, they get healthy. Watch out for them. I think the Rams are better this year than the Niners are, especially if they're healthy. Yeah. Chiefs Falcons, the Chiefs, man, for three years now, have, well, two years and three weeks this year, have looked like just a team that are going to win, no matter how poorly they play or how bad they look. I mean, they've set the bar so high, Patrick, my homes has that when he plays what we view him as average and they still win, it doesn't look pretty, but they, man, they fucking win. I agree. I think there's there's a handful of players, right? Like you're a little bit older than me, but we've been around a long time. There's the handful of players that come along where that guy gives you a chance to win, no matter what is happening around them. And Patrick, my homes is that guy right now. He is the quarterback and no matter what direct you put out with them, no matter how bad Travis Kelsey plays, no matter who the fuck they're running back is, it doesn't matter. That guy gives you a chance to win every week. I think that could be a problem, though, with Kelsey, man, he's looking, he looking old, he's looking his age. They have a lot of questions. He just needs to retire and start raising his kids with Taylor Swift. I don't know what we're waiting for. This is just, it's ridiculous at this point. Yeah. I mean, listen, you tell me you don't want to Kelsey Swifty, baby. Like, Oh, dude, I'm a Jeffrey. You know, you know my life. I'm going to house with five women. I don't know if I told you this, but my, from my wife and my oldest three went to the Taylor Swift Harris tour in Philly when, when he was here. Yeah, she got in that lottery shit, like in the beginning, and I paid like super cheap on these tickets. We fought for weeks about selling them and going to the next one, because it was just so much money to say no to. Yeah. But they did. Dude, they've been, I've been fighting with her and every woman in her family, because I felt like this was just Taylor taking time with a fuck boy after the last guy. But, you know, maybe maybe this is a new couple, man. I don't know. I just know that Travis Kelsey, I don't want to watch him go out like Brett Favre did. I want to watch him go out like on a high horse, not in the mud. You know, and it's funny if they do have it, if they ever did have a kid that that kid would start playing professional football, like 11 years old and have the most beautiful angel voice while catching footballs from Patrick Mahomes. It'd be the best player on the field and the best voice on the planet all at the same time, doing it at the same time. That's what would happen. I'm here for it. I love the, I love the children, the superheroes. I would love it. And Bill's Jaguars, if any, if any team is going to be Casey is here, that's far, it looks like the bills, man. They look, I want, I want Josh Allen to win, Jeff, I want Josh Allen to win so bad of all of the quarterbacks that are are the good quarterbacks of this league. I need to see Josh Allen go on a real run because I have to tell you, as a fan of football, I fucking love the way that guy plays love the way he plays. I agree. And look, looks like you were right about Trevor Lawrence, man. He couldn't be less interested in football. And he's not good, man. Like, listen, he's not not, he's not not good. That's, that's just too strong. I said when he was drafted that the closest comparison I could think of a back-ice career is Matt Liner. Matt Liner was drafted to be a franchise quarterback. He burnt out. He couldn't do it. He came in as a backup, won a couple of games, had a playoff under two. He was a decent quarterback. People remember his name, but that's who Trevor Lawrence has always been. Yeah. Bob, are you one good season out of every seven? Yeah, and it's not. You can't blame his coach. You can't blame his coach, man. Look at what Doug Peterson did with Parksman Wentz. You can't blame his coach. And he's, and he's had a couple coaches now. It's been kind of the same result. So I mean, at one point, yeah, we can't hold urban against him. Urban Meyer was a dumpster fired. That wasn't his fault. That wasn't his fault. You're right. I mean, the other, I mean, the one before that now, Peterson, like the guy before it, I forget who it was, but brought him to the playoffs without Garner Minshew, right? Yeah. What was his name? The, the, the Eagles, one of the iron Gus, Gus something or I can't remember it then, but yeah, I mean, yeah, I've been, dude, I got some, you know, Aaron gave me so much shit because he thought that Trevor Lawrence was the second coming. I knew from college that he didn't have it. I knew from watching him in college he didn't have it. Well, I look, I'm not going to not go argue with it. Let's just so far, we'll say you're right. And it's been a while now, it's about seven years, six years to law. Well, let's switch gears here a little bit. Talk to me about Juan Soto. You wanted to put this on the list. Yeah, I hate to break this to you. He's gonna sign what the end gives you seem to know, no way. I'm pretty positive. He's gonna sign with the Mets and he's gonna undo your franchise. And I feel bad for you. Why do you think he's gonna undo our franchise? All right. So objectively, right? You said the Mets fan, forget the numbers, forget the statistics, just who we know Juan Soto, the guy to be, right? Like you're a Mets fan. You don't want that guy in your clubhouse. Nobody does. He's, he's a distraction if he's anything. And he's probably going to cost you 700 million. And I know he got the money and money's bullshitting baseball. None of it really matters. It's just luxury tax thresholds and they'll fucking defer and shit around. They'll work it out. I know that. But I believe that this is going to be another swing for the fences by your billionaire owner. And I don't think it's going to work out. I don't think whatever team wins the Juan Soto sweepstakes will ever win anything. All right. Well, listen, I think that you're just worried that he's going to be in 50. You're going to have to face him a bunch of times for the next 12 years. Like the guys. Not even a little bit. Not even a little bit. I hope so. He's, yeah, well. Yeah, we have to think about it. Practically, there's like four teams that can afford them. And like one of them, we have to count out it's not the Dodgers. They just spent a billion dollars on two Japanese players. They're not going to spend 700 million on Juan Soto. So it's really the Yankees, the Mets and the Phillies. And I want nothing to do with them. I hope he signs with the Mets. I'm fine with that. The Angels have spent money in the past two there. I think they'll be in the sweepstakes. I'll tell you what, if the Angels go signed on Zoto for 700 million, if the Angels do that, we might be able to trade for Mike Trout and I'll take him as a platoon center fielder to help you. I'm in. I think Boston might be in on Juan Soto. Maybe even you think he does that though, Jeff. Do you think he goes from New York's from the Yankees to the Red Sox? The Yankees to the Mets is one thing. The Yankees to the Red Sox is wholly different. Well, he's only spent one year in New York. I don't think he has any like emotional ties to New York. I think he is a business first player. Where's someone? You think it's the money, right? Probably could have made could have made more money going elsewhere. Then signing then, you know, with the cheap ass Wilpons, he chose to stay in New York because he loved playing in New York. I don't think Juan Soto loves playing in New York compared to anywhere else. I think he I think he loves baseball. I think he I think he could play any. He's proven. He's had one of his best years in New York, so he can play in a big market, you know. So I think he'll go where the money is. Who's ever is going to offer him the most? I think that's where he's going to do it. I agree. I don't think that this will have anything to do with where he wants to be because I don't think he gives a shit. I think he'd play on the moon, so we'll get it a billion dollars. I don't think he cares. Yeah, but I also think that he's going to he's going to live up to that contract. That's where we disagree, sir. Well, I go, we're going to find out. Yeah, and I hope it's in that. I hope it's in that. I hope so too. I'm calling for you, buddy. I hope they keep Pete. And I hope they they put him in right field because Marte is out the door. He's done. Someone's going to offer Pete Alonso something stupid to come be a DH. Well, at this point, he's not a DH. He's he's a really solid first baseman, but that's why that's my argument for like offering Pete the 10-year contract because you can move him to DH when he can't play the field anymore. It's it's it's a no-brainer. A home-grown player, he's going to break break the home-run record in New York. That's something that New York needs. Maybe maybe he's wouldn't need it. But let's need it. But it's the nets and they don't do smart things like that. But it's a different ownership group than the Wilpons. It's I hope you're right, bro. I hope you're right. I won. I won in this rivalry. I'm tired of the braids. I want the net to be good. We agree on that. And fuck the nationals. I hate them. And you know, I'm I'm okay with the with the with the with the Marlins sneaking up every once in a while and getting in there because we know that the next year they're going to sell up the team anyway. So correct. There are harm systems for the rest of the league. Exactly. They're the Oakland A's of the southeast. Correct. One rule changed that we forgot to hit on last week. I wanted to venture real quick is the the the base running rules that have brought back the running game, which I love. I agree. I think that I think that it's the only reason you have show a joint in a 50/50 club without that rule of two throwovers. There's no doubt in my mind that we have bigger bases. We would have less stolen bases. I mean, it's the numbers prove it. I think it's another one of the it's an adept change that wasn't massive. It wasn't a major change. It sped the game up and it made it more entertaining all at the same time. Yeah, that it's not like completely. It's not like they're stealing a hundred percent of bases, right? It's like it's around 75%, which is fair. You know, and I still get to watch the best catcher in baseball. Gun dies down a second. I love it. That JT read on mutual, by the way. Yeah, no, he's not the best catcher in baseball, but he is. But that's all right. It's a discussion, different day. Talk to me about this and beat extension. Are you excited about this? Are you like? Yeah, I mean, a lot of people got upset about this for some reason. I can't fucking understand when you have one of the five best players in the league, you pay him whatever extension asks for whenever. I don't think you go deeper than that. Quite frankly, they're also set up in a way now with the the new CDA deal that the NBA is going to get when they get their new TV deal in the next two years is going to be an increase to the salary cap a lot like what the NFL just saw. I think the NFL is around 36 million just dropped into their laps. I think the NBA salary caps. I think it said it 189 is the first threshold this year. That's probably going to be 235 in three years. So I don't think it matters to be honest with you. And yeah, of course, you say he's the fucking best center in basketball. Yes, you give him the extension. It's it's it's a dumb thing to get upset about. I don't think yeah, I don't think you're upset about it. But it's like, what's the plan to win? Because it's clear on the George totally why are we doing this? They signed Paul George. That was the plan to win. The plan to win is bringing in a veteran wing that can hit open shots, knows how to handle the basketball, will take some pressure off Maxi to allow him to develop completely. And you're just you're filling out Kayla Barton's and and wing players and and fours around them. That's it. Like that's the plan. And they win when Joel L and B gets hurt for 30 games. We're not going to know until we see what Paul George looks like on this team. I will tell you that they're way better put together now because if you go back a couple of years when Andre Drummond was the backup center, when indeed went down, they weren't an automatic loss on the schedule. Andre Drummond is a real NBA caliber center. He's not Joel and B, but he can read down better than almost anybody. He plays decent defense and he's energetic. Like, yes, you can still win. But listen, when I play NBA 2K 23, I think when he was on the Bulls, Andre Drummond, and he would come in and sub for whoever the fuck my center was then. Should have been the future. If you were playing the Bulls. Yes. Yes. The future of it. Yeah. My my team was unbeatable. So with you, Drummond is a rude story. And he's he's a guy who in 11 minutes can get 18 rebounds. And I've never seen a guy that has Robin be able to do that. Yeah. I don't know why they would let him go. I mean, obviously salary cap issues. Yeah. He's going Chicago's not in position to win. And he wanted to win. You know, he thought that. Yeah, that's true. So this is Mel Kuiper thing. Did you hear this? Did you hear what he talked about? So Mel Kuiper, for those of you listening that maybe don't follow sports as closely as we do, was all over the the sports talk shows on ESPN talking about how the cover two, essentially the Tampa two defense that Tony Dungee made famous in Tampa Bay, where it's two two safeties at play, play off, you know, off the line of scrimmage, like far back, like. Yeah. But essentially, it's to create a shell around the field so that the quarterback, you know, they don't get beat deep, right? They have to dump off everything underneath. He is claiming that that has ruined football. This is something this is a defense has been playing for decades now, right? We're talking late 90s that this was introduced. And he said, you know, the solution should be that the rules should change that they can't play past a certain yardage, right? They have to stay within that. They want to force them to be closer to the ball. Yeah. I mean, I listen with an open mind. I'm like, Oh, right. Yeah. I mean, offense sells, right? If that's why they all the world changes in football over the past 15 years have favored the offense. But when it like, at some point, do you just want to take the defense off the field? Yeah. I mean, this is just this is this is the the opposite side of the good rule changes that baseball and football have seen. This is a change for the sake of change. It makes no sense. If this were what we went to say 10 years ago, because you're right, it's been what 30 almost, but this has been the standard defense. If you go back 10 years ago, there's no Tyree Kittle, bro. There's none of these outside receivers that know how to work inside out routes to actually break the top of a defense. It's a lot of exciting. It's just whichever quarterback and throw 80 yards and the guy that can run straight the fastest. That's how you wouldn't get down. It's so dumb. It just makes no sense. And there's a clear way to beat it. Run the fucking ball, make them bring a safety into the box to defend the run. And then you break open that to correct. It's it's I just it's again, I think it's changed for the sake of change. And this is what happens when you have leagues like the MLB who made some changes and they're gaining some popularity. And now you got these other guys, these pundits for the NFL who are like, Oh, shit, these guys are getting more popular to make any changes that are bringing more popularity to the sport. Now we have to look at ours and it's just stupid. It makes no sense. Yeah. And then, you know, the other thing about running the balls, it shortens the game, right? We all know that attention spans our shrinking. So the the game times need to shrink. And then also, like, okay, so the first two, the first two weeks, you know, bet the unders, right? Like most of the games are under. But I think that's more of a product that less starters are playing in the preseason, right? The first two games of the regular season are the preseason now, right? That's just the way it's going to be. For 80% in NFL offenses. That's exactly right. And the ones that are playing their starters aren't going to be any good anyway. They're playing them for a reason. Yeah. Week three, we watched the bills put up 42 points. Week three, we watched the bangles and and the commanders score combined 80 points. We're almost 80 points, like 40 year old Aaron Rodgers, but up 24 points, like the Packers with a backup quarterback, but up 30. There's no lack of offense here, right? Like they're all playing. They all know the shell defense, the Tampa two, the two deep safety defense. They all every team knows it. Every team has it in the defensive playbook. So it's, I don't think it hinders the game at all. And then I think there's a reason why we haven't seen Mel Kuiper this week. Yeah. I mean, it was wrong. Yeah. And it was a dumb take. And I'm sorry for us football fans. I like the existence of it because it means that I can watch Sequon Barkley be effective in an all sense now. You need to have a running back that can affect the game because it's just how the defense plays. That is, is it competitive? That's it. There's no competitive advantage or disadvantage there. It's, it's whichever guy's going to be better, whichever scheme is going to outdo the other. And then your quarterback said to make the fucking throwman, you change the annual wasn't impressive because they beat the Tampa two. He made every fucking sort of possible. That's what was impressive. He made the the check down until they had to come up and play him and leave McClellan one on one, which then it gets exciting. Oh, it's, it's, it's, listen, man, again, I keep trying to warn people there's some good happening down there. Jeffrey, you got to buy some new new swag. You got to get some commanders swag because there's some good stuff happening down there, man. I spent my entire paycheck on it. It's coming. I have too many kids for that shit now. Are you forget about Philly, forget about Washington, forget about, you know, your favorite teams. If you have to watch something this weekend, it's not your favorite sports teams. What are you watching? Anything specific that you're excited about? No, I mean, I'm preparing myself for the epic debate between the couch guy and the social studies teacher on Tuesday next week. I'll probably do some research into that. Um, no, man, I am, I'm at this stage of my life. My kids are starting to get involved in sports a lot now and they really like the Philly teams because it's all they talk about in school. And my oldest in middle school now, of course, has some of the rat Cowboys fans and some of these rat Philadelphians raised. So it's probably going to mostly be my team. I mean, I'm always one. I love red zone. I love going around and watching what's happening. Football is a sport I think that you need to watch complete. I think if you're only watching your team, you're missing so much stuff. So I will be watching every game on Sunday. Obviously, the Phillies are going to be a big deal for me. Not that any of the matters anymore, but I'm going to watch every second that I can. And I'm going to prepare for that first game on October 5th, which I hope is against the Mets personally. I don't think it'll be enough. But well, we don't play till the fifth. So we have a five. That's yeah, I know what I play next. Well, hopefully. Although we're ahead of the Diamondbacks, I believe still for the second. So if we get the second spot, second wild guard spot, I don't think we would meet the Phillies until the championship round. So it's a lot, lot, lot at stake here. And we're not playing for the next two days. Well, when by the time this comes out, it'll be one day, but the fucking hurricane, they didn't move the game. So the rest of the Atlanta series is going to be a double header on Monday. It's fucking ridiculous. So stupid. And they're smashing at the end of the year. When you have shit like these type of playoff ramifications, it's just ridiculous. Yeah, well, I tell you what I the one game I am excited about on the NFL schedule other than my team is Bill's Ravens. I want to see the bills and Ravens go out. I think it's going to be a great game. I think that's probably your best game of the week. I'm interested to see what they do against Tampa Bay because again, the Saints was a stinker. I think they won. Great. But it wasn't good. I'm really interested to see if they can finally fucking get it together and Tampa Bay is another good team. But I think the game of the week is obviously Baltimore Buffalo. I mean, they're really, I get Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are always going to be great, but they don't look too good this year. The Bengals look like Hot garbage. The Texans are obviously struggling in year two of this young system in this young quarterback. I think that right now is your two best teams in the AFC. I think it's gonna be a great game. Who do you like for Thursday? Cowboys Giants, Dallas minus six and a half, 45 and a 45. I'm going to say something crazy. I don't know how I would bet on the Cowboys doing a football game right now. I don't know how I do that with confidence. I mean, I will say this is the Giants. They should win this game. They should cover this game by double. I do believe going into week four, we're going to start seeing scores creep up. So I think you're going to start smashing overs in the next couple weeks. And the Giants can put points on the board, man. You know, they can score 20. It's getting the Cowboys score 24. And I don't know what I just I can't I can't buy into that team. I maybe stay away from it. If you're going to bet is what I'd say, maybe hit the over and nothing else. But you've got two teams. One is an obvious thumbs to fire. And the other one looks like a collapsing from the inside. It's a terrible game. Yeah, I had typical Thursday night game. I wouldn't I wouldn't bet on this other than I like to do the individual stats parlays. So I'll probably do something there. But you know, I think the Cowboys win this, but easily. But I wouldn't be surprised that the Giants snuck up and beat in the Cowboys are I think internally there's going to be a lot of issues. Do you have anything on the schedule for Sunday that you feel is a lock? I hate doing this. But I did it last week. And I was right. So I think I'm just going to double down. I was wrong about how, but I was fine about what? You know what I mean? Like I got the answer right. I got there the wrong way. I think the Eagles beat the Buccaneers handling this week. I think that this is this has got to be for me. And this will probably be the last week I'd pick on this game. This has to be for me to coming out party and that offense has to perform. And if they don't, I'm going to have a real serious problem. So my game to watch, I believe that this is Jalen Hurts. 290 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, a tush push. I think this is like a 31 to 17 trousing because I ate Baker Mayfield. So that is what I'm going to pay most attention to. But I also want to say this is about Buffalo and Baltimore. I think Buffalo is better than Baltimore this year. So if I'm putting my eggs in a basket, I'm probably putting them in Buffalo basket. I there's a couple spreads here that I really like Rams Bears. Bears are at home. They're laying three. I like the Rams. Rams cover that. I agree with that. I would bet that. I think the I take the Rams to points there. The Steelers Colts, Pittsburgh's laying a point and a half. The Steelers Anthony Richardson looks lost. I'll say the other thing the Jets are laying seven and a half against the Broncos. I like the Broncos. I like the Broncos outright necking. Could be, but definitely cover. I also think that there's got to be a point with Robert Sala that he starts causing them games because he's an idiot too. Yeah. And clearly, even Rodgers are not on the same page. Is it not crazy? There's so many teams where the head coach in the quarterback just can't get along with each other. Yeah. Here's another one that I would go big on because the Bengals are not as bad as their record and they're playing the Panthers. The Panthers are going to come back down to Earth. There's game film on Dalton now. You know, it is current state of his career Cincinnati favored by three and a half. I think they blow that out of the water. Oh, I think Cincinnati could beat them fucking 35 to seven. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Here's another. Here's another game I really like just just for watching Monday night Seahawks Lions. I think that's going to be a good game. Yeah, I love those types of teams playing each other. They're gritty. They're fundamental. They're taught the right way to do things. They're not going to necessarily flash you to death, but they do shit right. And I love watching football games that are done right. Because the other the other Monday night game is Titans dolphins. No one's going to fucking give us a talk about that game. Nobody cares about that. You've got too much muscles and no muscle. See, this is this is where they fuck up when they make this schedule where they're not allowed to flex until like week 12 or some shit. They would flex this game immediately. They wouldn't even have played this on Sunday. They would have like this would even be televised. The first Saturday game. The first Saturday game in weeks four for the first time in NFL three. They would put that opposite like Boise State Nebraska. All right, more people will watch Boise State. Slowly at least they have the blue field. That's always interesting. All right. So I got a classic baseball name for you. I don't know. You might be a little too young for this guy, but if you you know, if you know, I mean, you're going to shit your fucking pants. Ready? I'm ready. Mickey Morindini. Oh my God. How do you ask the Phillies guy? If he knows Mickey Morindini. Right. I'm sure I know Mickey Morindini greatness. He is the he is the most unspectacular baseball player maybe ever. But solid, like solid starting second baseman. Most of his career spend with the Phillies. And I'm looking at his stats and it's just it's this is an era long like players like this don't exist anymore. This dude never hit more than that eight home runs. Yeah, well, you can't see that. No, you don't have 15. You're you're off the team. Now you're gone. If you if you don't hit 15, you're in double A. Right. I actually mind I came up with two of a good name and a good player was also a Philly. I'm one of my favorite names in Philly's history is a Dutch Dalton. Darren Dalton is one of my icons of my life and Dutch Dalton is such a fucking brutal sounding name, bro. And he was a hard nose. Not a fucking dude. I love Dutch. D squared. He went a little crazy after baseball. Little bit. Not as crazy as Pete Rose, but close. But, you know, they there's for a long time they they they stopped making catchers like that, like Gary Carter and punch and dull. Yeah. And now they're starting to come back like, you know, the kid that in the Mets lineup right now, Francisco Alvarez is just that hard nose, man. He gets hit with every fucking ball. He's and he's laughing about it. Like, like they're starting to come back those those hard nose tough catchers, but Dalton was. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Yachty was the last guy, bro. Yachty or Molina was the last guy. He was the last of that old guard. And like, I don't know what I do. I know baseball curious, but I miss that kind of guy. I miss when catchers were the guy. Listen, catcher is the most important position on the field. They are in position that's involved in every single play for nine innings. You know, it's yeah, Mickey Morn being a great, great Darren Dalton, also great baseball name. So do you have anything anything left to want to say? Yeah, go guards, bro. And fuck them. All right. That's our time. We'll come back next week, and we'll we'll give it another shot. Have a good weekend, Justin. We'll talk soon. All right, brother. Are you drinking a beer? Because it looks like you're drinking a glass of kids. Oh, dreamt. I just thought it would be fucking weird to pick up a half gallon, Bob. Yeah, I got you. I was, I was going to comment that it looks like you're drinking a glass of piss in your condo at Boca Raton for some reason.
