Yo, yo, yo, what's going on, buddy? Welcome back to another episode of big D energy right here on the Woodward Sports Network. My name is Neil Rule here with Sam Flannel in for Darren McCarty. Flannel, what's up? Oh, this is a great day. Tigers pull another one out. The Minnesota Twins choke all over themselves again. Again, you just hate to see it. I know more on that in a couple minutes. We got Spencer Raxter in the building. Hello, hello. Stick is over here walking around Brady Wood is out here. Brady Wood, always up to no good. But we're live at Dyspo in Romeo. You guys know what it is, the biggest cannabis mall really around us. Absolutely. They're doing it better than anybody. You guys know that. I've told you stories about my dealings with Dyspo and family members and medical situations and all that stuff, man. They're partners of the community. That is, that is for sure. But happy to have you all with us. Jump into that Woodward Sports, chat, thread, get your thoughts in there. It is a nickel package Friday, but Flannel, yes, I would like to, uh, commandeer the stage today. Just, just for a second. Sounds good. My Marlins, your Marlins, America's Marlins. It's not official, but it's unofficially official. The Minnesota Twins are out. Yeah, they are out. It's unofficially official. And you know what? It couldn't happen to a better team. So you know what Minnesota Twins take you, your shitty Metro dome you played in for all those years, all that goofy stuff would happen. And you guys will win games. You had no business win. And take you, your game, 163 bullshit that you pulled on us about a decade ago or so in the playoffs as well. Take you, your mid city, your city that's so cold, you have to walk around tunnels for half the year. You can't even go outside because you could die. Suck it, Minnesota, Minneapolis. Suck it. You guys are gone. You collapsed just like your football team always does. And oh, by the way, too, how about them Vikings? You'll be the next one to be run down by the city of Detroit. You're three and oh Vikings. You think it's so cute and everything like that. Minnesota, Minneapolis at large, St. Paul, the whole Twin Cities region. Suck it. You guys are gone. Hey, nice collapse, bro. Nice collapse. No, I mean, that's kind of what the modern twins do. I'm just, I just look this up on the fly. Since 2002, the Minnesota twins have made the playoffs 10 times. They've had some good teams like the Morneau, Maurer, Johan Santana teams. Those are some really, really good teams, but they made the ALCS exactly once during those 10 playoff appearances and they lost four to one. So that's just kind of a thing. Hey, they suck. It's it's hard. It's weird for me because I really like Carlos Correa and I really like Byron Buxton as players, but when they're in the way of the Tigers making a playoff run, which they're not anymore, obviously it gives me great joy to watch them choke. It's beautiful. They've had to play. They've played at a level that you have to try to be that bad for as long as they have. It's you just hate to see it. Yeah, I'm heartbroken by it. Yes. And the Vikings are next, by the way. Subscribe to the Woodward Sports YouTube channel, like tens of thousands of you have were on the road to 100,000 subscribers. A tour, RIP Kirby Puckett Neil doesn't really mean it. No a tour. Kirby Puckett's a piece of shit person. Look it up. Look it up. I especially mean it to Kirby Puckett. Do not rest in peace and Google him if you want to know the story on that one. You'll agree with me. To be fair though, they did win a couple with, they won an 87 and 91. That's why I said since 2002. Right. Right. And who did that for them in 91? Oh, that's right. It was a Tigers pitcher when Jack Morris went there. Yeah. That's right. Oh, no doubt about it. Burn in the chat. Minnesota hasn't won a championship in any major sports since a Reagan administration. Bombs. They're bombs shot out to the Marlins. That's true. That's true. A DS 411 F the Marlins. No, what? There will be no Marlins lander, right, flannel? Um, today, today there'll be no Marlins lander, but there won't. So shot out to the Marlins. They did the job. They were the one that, uh, and of course, you know, the Tigers historic run continues. And you know, flannel? Yes. You guys had to watch party at Woodward yesterday. I just I'm convinced they're never going to lose again. They may never lose a game again. You know what this reminds me of that great scene from the movie The Hangover where, uh, Zat Galf and Akas's character Allen is counting cards and winning at blackjack when they have to get some money back and then Bradley Cooper's character of Phil just grabs him and it's like he can't lose. He can't lose. That's I think how our fans feel like right now. Wasn't a very smart move to do by Phil knowing his buddy is card counting, but we can say it right now because the the Tigers doesn't matter the situation. Yesterday they were down three nothing going into the six. Look dead and they came back anyway. You just it's it's magical man. I love to see it. No, it is. And, uh, it's great. And the Tigers are in and tonight gets to be a party that, uh, slap me through and through. I appreciate Neil's hatred of the Vikings. I feel that Vikings, dude, that stupid helmet with the points on the horns that like connect. Oh my God. I can't stand it. Hate them. Hate Minneapolis. Hate state of Minnesota. Nice tunnels. You have because you can't physically go outside in the winter time. Or on the Vikings later, by the way. Oh, yeah, absolutely. No, but it is a nickel package Friday. We got a Tigers nickel package certainly that we will get into Lions, college football, Michigan, Michigan State, the NFL. All of it is represented. Uh, you guys know how, uh, you guys know how we get down Mike G top five reasons to bunt. Hey, nice bunt last night, Minnesota twins. Where's Broder at? Did Broder speak on that today? Not that I know. Oh, weird. He didn't have a video montage put together.

No purchase necessary. VGW Group. Forward, we're prohibited by law. 18 plus terms and conditions apply. I did on Twitter. I mean, like I said, I thought he did a fairly nice job arguing his point yesterday and he had some points today, but I philosophically am more aligned with you when it comes to bunting. I just don't let giving up outs. I just wanted Broder to have the stage to himself yesterday. So, you know, I think it's a really interesting argument. So, okay. But that's what it is. That guy, 62, I was told, I was told buns increase fielding error percentage. I was told that to yesterday. Weird. But when someone sees him was on the line. They got double the second. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm stunned. The pitcher could do it with all the pressure, you know, like two men on nobody else and you bunt and now it's one man on two outs to be fair, though. That the that a final game of the first half against the Dodgers. I even as somebody who doesn't like bunting had to give it up to Broder that day because when it works, I got to be like, you know what, Broder, you made it work that one day. I still disagree with work that one day in June. Hey, it was a big win, though. And when the twin and the twins life was on the line. How did it work out? Not well. Not well. That's it. So, it is. What were sports jump in to their Lloyd, Brian. I got to hear Rod last night with his second deck. Yeah, Rod Allen on the call on a Marlin's TV. Easy big fella. Chuck Brewer and Neil ignored the points to push his narrative. What points? All I know is Spenny when someone's life was on the line. It's true. And they put the bunt down. It was a double play. It was a double play. Or just effectively ended their season. Put the final stake. Now the Tigers. Yeah, the Tigers did it, but the Marlins finished it for him. And again, as you said, Spenny, you just hate to see it play as said he cooked you this morning. I actually pulled in right as the I was listening to it from the beginning when I was driving here right as I was pulling in the bunning segment was about to start. So, I didn't get a chance to hear all of it. I actually see people in the chat saying that Broder did speak on the Vikings bunt failing last night. So, if that's the case, I apologize. But I'm gonna have to listen to it back to see if Broder did indeed cook you. Okay, I think the twins pretty much took care of cooking him on their own. So, that's it. You know, well, let's go rebbing Sparty. Willie Castro flying on to Derrick Hill with Rod Helen on a call was the ultimate page turn of the old Tigers. I know it was a DNC ENT speaking of Rod. Has anyone heard from Super Rasside? Where's he been? I don't know. I think he's on thawing. He's getting ready for football season. I miss Super Rasside. And yeah, basketball's gonna start soon. So, he's gonna tell us how Michael or Magic Johnson should buy the Pistons or whatever you I don't know. I never got it. I never got to hear his rants. But I just got to see your guy's facial reactions to them. I forgot about that. Yeah, it was fun, man. It was fun. But yeah, we are we are gonna do it. But this again, the Magic numbers one for those of you going down to the get in prices have eclipsed the triple digit mark now for the Tigers game tonight over a hundred bucks to get into the stadium. But flannel make no mistake for the people in the chat that are going down there tonight. Enjoy it. This is like this is like a coordination. It's like it's like a ball. Key Aussie says Broder was fired up today, Neil. He came with you with a game seven high performance of the ages. I guess you got to oversell it when it's proven wrong on live TV the night before. Well, he can tell me what he thinks. Yeah, I saw it play out. We saw it happen. Yeah. Spenny, you were on you were on the socials. Yeah, you were on it. I was like, wow, that's yeah, that's pretty good timing. Just and learn the lesson in that flannel. What's that? I never lose. I never lose. Because of circumstances. Well, isn't that the case for every victory? Stick, stick, play, stick softball team yesterday played at the New York Yankees. Space dogs of slow pitch softball. And did the space dogs like Cower? But there were circumstances that they won. Yeah, there were circumstances. They were better. No, I mean, I win more often than I'm getting given credit for, but I get held accountable for everything. And this guy gets held accountable for nothing. Well, because I end up being right. Even if I'm wrong, I'm still right. But yeah, but no, it is. It was, it's just, it's one of those things where I hope everybody goes down. Have fun tonight, man. We've been through a decade. We are basically Andy Dufring getting out of Shawshank right now. Like we've been, we've been scraping that rock behind the poster for 10 years. Now we finally been waiting for that night of thunderstorms. Oh, yeah. And here they are. And now we're out. It's cathartic, man. You see it, you see it from the crowd at the Camarico Park during these last few games. I know our one of our guys, Nick Cola from Heavyweights. He was there. He won tickets via Andy Durk. Shout out. That's a, that's a pretty cool. And he took a video and it just showed the excitement and the emotion of the fans. And you know, it's great tonight. If they beat the White Sox, going against Garrett Crochet, it's going to be tougher than typical White Sox. Oh, and five with like a six ERA in his last five. That's fair. That's fair. So the point is, is that tonight can be the night that they actually clinch. Man, what I just love to see it. That's why I want to see them win tonight, because we know the twins will drop one probably tonight as well, and they'll clinch via that. But I want to see them clinch on a win playoffs is good, no matter what. But I just want that moment at Camarico Park. No, I do. And I want the people to get it tonight. Yeah. The Friday night. If you're off for the weekend, get it in everybody. Spemmo would get it in if he were going down. I would. I know you would Kiazi. Let's go Tigers in all the caps. No, but we are, uh, we are doing it. We're going to get into the nickel package and in all of that. Let's do this. And let's take the first break. We come back. You want to do a Tigers nickel?

Vgw group would be liberated by law 18 plus terms and conditions apply. Oh, yes. I just don't want to. That was a terrible borgot freement impression, but any who? Yeah, that was pretty much it. Paul Thomas, Andy Dufresne, one of my idols. So, yeah. So, there's that one as well. But get your thoughts in there. It is a nickel package of Friday. So, let's get, let's get it rolling. Let's keep the baseball flavor though, huh? Let's keep the baseball flavor going. Obviously, the tigers are hotter than the lions right now. Nobody even wants to hear about the lions because the tigers are so hot and they can clench today. So, we can say they're in. They're unofficially officially in the playoffs. They're unofficially officially in. Who is your day two starter in the playoffs? We know school was getting them on for the first game, but who's your day two starter? In spending, this is going to crush your soul. Why? Because you're not going to want to hear this. I know who it can't be. Mys? Correct. Yeah. I can't. I can't run casey mice out there in the playoffs, man. I can't unless it's in inning or a spot or maybe a game when, you know, boom, you're down eight. You know, like that's, if mice is pitching, something bad probably happened. And spending, it's no disrespect to you and it's no disrespect to Casey Mys. It's just for me, I'm team Tarek Skubel. I'm team bullpen. I'm team opener. That's how I want to operate this flannel. I want to dance with the one that brung me. That's fair. I, but I will say this, I'm going to go with Ries Olson. And it's for reasons that he's had 40 career starts with a 3.75 ERA. He's had moments this season when he was dominant. I understand coming back from injury, it's been hit in mid. He's been on a pitch count. But that's where that leads me to the AJ Hinch factor. Do you think AJ Hinch will let Ries Olson be out there for longer than he needs to be? I do not. So if Ries Olson only goes two innings or three innings or four, you can bring in a Hanafi, you can bring in a Gunther, you can bring in a Herder and treat it like a pseudo bullpen day. But I want to start game two with Ries Olson. And that's where it is. And even for me too, if you want to go because we saw him, we saw him pitch so well, really throughout the second half of the season and had some high quality starts and everything like that. It's just like, if you want to keep it rolling, if you want to keep it, you know, Tarek schoolable, Monteiro bullpen, because that's, that's what, and we have to remember this too, right? It's been a decade since we've been in the playoffs. Yeah. A lot has changed. Hell, I didn't know that you don't get a home game, you know, depending on where you are with the seating. I didn't even know that. But for me, I just, I want to keep it the same. Let me get schoolable. Monteiro, the bullpen. I don't hate that. Yeah. Okay. All right. Then we're, then we're closing with us. Many thought you were going to give me some pushback. No, there's nobody on God's Green Earth that should fight, should be fighting for a case you might start the play. That's fair. No. Okay. Perfect. You'll wear the jersey still and that's cool. I'll wear the jersey for sure. 100%. You know, you're not, you're not bailing on them. Yeah, no, but he hasn't proved this year that he deserves that. Next up, biggest surprise player of this season. You talk about like in retrospect? Yes. It's got to be the renaissance of Parker Meadows. Like, I've, I've never flannel. Yeah. He was hitting like, oh, oh, 70. Yeah. It was awful to watch. It was painful to watch. And I remember that we talked about his speed. I was promised his speed. And I remember my line was, well, too bad you can't steal first, you know, and, and that's just given the depths of hell, you know, Andy Dufres, it's an Andy Dufresne episode here. You know, like, it's, it's just when I, when I look at that, that to me, that's the most improbable story. Because we knew, we knew Riley Green in which way he was trending. Yeah. We knew about Kerry Carpenter and what way he was going. But the renaissance that he's had, and he's been as keen, like, look, I think Riley Green's getting lost in the sauce a little bit here because he's good and we just expect him to be good. And like his, his, his ability is taken for granted. But the renaissance of Parker Meadows needs to be studied and bottled. That's fair. Parker Meadows with an 872 OPS since being recalled from the minor leagues. And that includes that three game series at Cincinnati, the one he got heard in. And I actually agree with you about Riley Green. You saw Ryan Ermani during yesterday's watch party after Parker Meadows got a hit and Riley Green started out 0 for 3 being like, are we sure Parker Meadows isn't better than Riley Green? It's like, dude, that's, that's disrespectful. And it's disrespectful what Terry Foster said at the all-star break where he said Riley Green wasn't deserving. That's what, what? On a side note, Ermani, what kind of take is that? What did he say? He said that, are we sure Parker Meadows isn't better than Riley Green? Yes, Ryan, we're sure. And that doesn't, and don't get me wrong, Parker Meadows, I gave you the numbers, 872 OPS since being brought up. That's all-star level play. But to give my answer, mine was Parker Meadows, but I came with the backup. How about Sean Gunther, somebody that no human being, the bullpen and period, you know, but no human being on Planet Earth even knew who Sean Gunther was. Don't lie, nobody knew. And he has pitched, he's only really been, he brought, he got brought up on August 1st and pitched once and then I think got sent back and got brought back, I think August 22nd. And that's during the time where the Tigers have really been making their run, although they were playing well before, a couple games before that. But Sean Gunther this season, 20 innings 0.9 ERA. Incredible. 0.55 whip, a five and a half strike out to walk ratio and a three and oh record. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Tigers don't make the playoffs if it's not for Sean Gunther. So shout out to him, he's been Mariano Rivera for those 20 innings. And flannel, look, when this, when this all, when this run plays out, I think it's important that we take a segment and we say, what, what, what's kind of your embarrassing moment of the season? My embarrassing moment for the Tigers, when Sean Gunther came into the game for the first time, I legit said, I didn't even know this guy existed in the organ, legit. That's okay. I legit, I watch him every, I watch or listen to him every day. I look at the baseball America handbook. I'm stupid like that. You know what I'm saying? I had no idea who he was. And that's the thing, this is what this run has all been about. I don't want, I don't want to hear anybody and I'm going to defend my guy, Neil rule. I don't want to hear anybody say, oh, you didn't believe in Parker Meadows at the beginning of the season and gatekeep like that. He was hitting 090. And it's, it's, it's okay to not have known who Sean Gunther was. I had somebody comment on our reel yesterday, like, oh, this page used to talk crap about the Tigers and not believe in them and say they were dead. And now so did you. Yeah, you didn't see what they were building or what they were leading to? I was like, yeah, okay. If you honestly want to tell me that AJ Hinsch and Scott Harris were like, all right, guys, this is how the season's going to go. We're going to get seven games under 500 just to pull the most miraculous and unpredictable playoff push in the history that MLB just wait, it's going to be awesome. You're an idiot. Like they didn't want to do that. They wanted to be a better team. It wasn't working on it first. And then something clicked. It was just as unpredictable to me as it was to you. If you're sitting here saying, I knew this was going to happen. And you're a bull. Yeah, you're right. Bottom line. You're a flat out liar. You can lie to me. Don't lie to yourself. It's a proud father right here. It's true. It's true. That's what angers me more. Yeah. It's not that you're lying to me. You're trying to convince yourself. I got broad shoulders. I can take. Yeah. It's that you're lying to you. And that's my problem with it. Not for me. I'm irrelevant in this equation. You're lying to yourself. Like if you're one of the people that's like, I'm the super slappy hardcore fan and I never gave up. Okay, I can believe that. But if you're the person like, I knew this was going to happen when they were seven games under 500, I knew they were going to come back and make the playoffs. No, you didn't. Nobody did. It's the most miraculous run in the history of baseball like 50. Yeah, I still don't think the I think nationally, they have a better grasp on the tigers have done than we do locally. For real. Yeah. Honestly, believe that I had a production call and doing some soccer down in South Florida this weekend. We had a production call yesterday and I was talking to some of the people at the studio and they were like, I can't believe what your baseball team is doing. Yeah. And I was like, I know. And I have to do that. I have to get the slander out of the chat. This is not a bias City Connect Jersey. This is a Riley Green City Connect Jersey. Okay. So yeah, I got this at the game the other day. There was a lot of bias in that job. They're trying to move product. Well, and I know we got to continue with his nickel baggage, but let's talk about a gatekeeper right here. Zach. So he's at set at Sam Reynolds flannel Sam. Remember when you said scuba season was a waste? We had it was. Well, that's the thing. If you don't make the playoffs and you're you have a sigh young pitcher, then the team wasted Derek scuba season. I'm not saying that Derek scuba himself individually didn't have a phenomenal year, which will benefit him greatly no matter what. But there was a time where they were nine and a half out. And now they're not. That doesn't just happen. You can't predict that. You can there's some things that happen, like Riley Green and Kerry Carpenter coming back that can lead you to believe that the tigers are going to play better. But that's just that's the type of stuff we're talking about. It was never Derek scuba slander. It was about the team around him. And I'm not the only person who said that even at this desk. And that's okay, by the way. No, absolutely. Because the bottom line is this flannel. What's their record again? 85 and 74. They're 85 and 74. Yeah. They're 20 and 10 when Terrick scuba pitches this year, which means that they're an under 500 team when he doesn't. Yeah, which isn't at 500, which isn't. Yeah, basically a little over 500. But that but that's not abnormal for your ace. It just shows how valuable that having a Terrick scuba is Michael David said how much they cost many. I don't want to divulge that. It was not a responsible purchase. I'll just say that it was it was an impulse bot. Yeah. Let's go to break and then we'll finish. Oh, man. Yeah. How many more we got? We got three still.

Stick is in the building. He's got his bag from Dispo. You can get yours as well. I want to get some of that John Daly. There he is. Right there. He's not just talking about it, folks. We he bees about it. You know, so there he is. He's got his product. So come on out. And again, beautiful facility out here in Romeo. My, it's a home game for me. I like it. So we're doing it out here jumping out. Woodward sports chat thread. Subscribe to the Woodward sports YouTube channel. And we're beginning to push towards 100,000 subscribers. We'll be there before you know it. Buddy of mine just sent me this. Two buddies texted me. Number one, my buddy Kyle, I'm still laughing my ass off at that Minnesota twins bun. Oh, we all are. We all are. And then number two, my buddy Patrick, I almost ish looking at the tiger stats. The Cy Young winner 1984 was Willie Hernandez of the Tigers won the MVP of the league. 140 innings, 112 Ks, nine and three record, 192 ERA, 0.94 whip opponents at 194 off of them. Tyler Holton, yeah, 40 years later, 93 innings, 76 Ks, seven and two record, 0.78 whip, 0.174 batting average against. I've said it probably probably the most underrated player in baseball. I've said it, man, if I'm doing a Cy Young ballot on mine, I've got scuba, I've got class A, I've got home. That's my Cy Young ballot. I hate it. No, that's absolute. That's absolutely fair. All right, let's get back into this nickel package. The next question we got of the Tigers nickel package. Should Jackson Jobe get a start if they clench the playoffs? You talking about this weekend? Yes. Yeah, why not? Why not? I would say this, playoff start, what, Tuesday? Yeah. If you start them, depending on how long you want to run them, then you're probably not going to see them in the playoffs, you know, which is fair. The first game, at least. I think you got scuba anyway. Right, right. So like, you know, yeah, I think he's up here just for this whole circus that's going on right now to be around it, to be in the playoffs, to be in a locker room of a team, that's hot, all that stuff. The question I have to ask is how much value do you guys, or I guess the better question is to ask the organization on catching the Kansas City Royals and getting the five seed instead of the four. Because if not, you know, you're probably going to clench tonight and you've got a free role for those last two games. So I would absolutely start Jackson Jobe. However, if you want to catch the Royals, I would do everything short of starting scuba in one of these games to try to do it. But isn't starting Jackson Jobe like just as good of an option as starting someone else? That's fair. I'm just saying lies or or or Olsen recently out there. First high leverage moment of his career. That's that's the only thing I'm worried about. I'd rather get him get it now than in the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, and this is where the crowd comes in too, right? The atmosphere, the whole the whole circus around because America is probably going to be sold out. I started the Jackson Jobe chant just saying you did it. No, you were there. Steve Neil, where do you get? Where do you get those New Holland longer drinks? I live like 30 minutes from Holland. I haven't been able to find them. It's total like total wine as that's where I get mine. So I'm just letting you know. And guys again, with with with the with the longer drinks, like I don't just talk about it. I'm not kidding you guys. This has taken over my adult beverage world. It has. They are that good. I I'm off. I'm off even the neutrals because I'm more of a seltzer guy than a beer guy. I'm off the neutrals. And I thought that the neutrals were going to be as good as it got. Well, I was wrong. So shout out new Holland brewing cup. Shout out. Absolutely. All right. Next question of the Tigers nickel package. Would you rather see leading the flannels last point the Orioles or the Astros in the first round? Um, for me, I'd rather see the Orioles. Yeah, I would. Yeah. For me, I would I would want to see the Orioles. I would rather see the Orioles as well because Houston has two starting pitchers who both have an ERA better than Corbin Burns. And one of them is a lefty. And that would effectively neutralize Carrie Carpenter. So yes, Banyas though, hey, hitting like one 16 is last month. You've been on a state cold streak. Yeah, like here's where the here's where the people like stick in the in the casuals, the baseball casuals, the new money type of fans. Yeah. From our Valdez pitching in Houston. I want no part of I don't want any part of that lineup. That's battle tested in the playoff. I'll tell you this. I think the Astros are going in the world series. You did mention that. You know, you got I'm convinced of that. I mean, you got Kyle Tucker. You've got Altuve. You've got Alvarez. You've been there. Yeah. You've done that. Roanell, Bronco, Front Bear, Valdez. I mean, plus plus. Hold on, flannel. Yeah. I want it to be the Orioles because I want to I want I want them to look me in the eyes when the Tigers beat them and say this could have been you. But you wanted to clutch you all your prospects and stuff like that because let's be real since we're being real about it. Yeah. Since we're keeping it real around here but keeping it real goes wrong. If they would if they would have said, you know, Mayo, Jackson, Holiday, their seven prospect, their 12 prospect, they held the keys. Yeah. They held the keys to get in scuba. They would have got them. And we would have celebrated, right? We all would we all would have pumped our fists and be like, yeah. Yeah. You know, like we we flee stone. We have a short stop now for the next decade. Everybody would have celebrated. Nobody would have questioned it. In Baltimore, the fans would have went crazy. Yeah. You could have did that but you clutched on to your little prospects and stuff like that and see what it all I wanted to be the Orioles. I want it. Now, if stick wants to say, Neil, you're not being about business, you're making this personal, then that'd be a fair. That'd be a fair, you know, that would be a fair criticism. Oh, there we go. Stick. Welcome to the conversation. You know, you didn't have to say my name and bring me into this. No, you want to talk about personal beating Justin Verlander's personal. That's almost Matthew Stafford. Ask personal. Dude went and won a World Series when he left here. Not as big of a dick as Matthew Stafford, but you know, that's personal. AJ Hinch, you want to talk about personal. Dude took the team, won the World Series with him. Now he's with these group of young guys. He's our Brad Holmes. He left the organization is leading this personal and you want to talk like people are Brady over here getting all balls he's saying that, you know, we've all we beat the Orioles. We beat half their team. Four other starters have been out the last four, five, six times we played them. I want the Astros. AJ Hinch knows that line up. You're not going to get the Astros. They know them in and out. We're not going to get them. Why pose the questions, Neil? Then why pose the question of who you'd rather play? Yeah, because I'd rather play the Orioles in the Astros. I want the Astros. I don't because Verlander's not even going to be on their rotation because he's not good enough this year. Whatever. I want the Astros. I want to take them down for AJ Hinch. Good enough. Are you afraid of the Astros? Do you think they're going to win the World Series? I think they're going to get to the World Series. That busted ass team? No. No. Why do we have to disrespect opponents and not be mindful? Because that's what I do say. Obviously. I know that bum Yordan Alvarez, that bum, Fron Behrvald. They're a fine team, but they're an aging team. We got the young team. The Orioles have the young energy, the Orioles have that the Orioles have a little but what the Tigers have right now. They have that just team element to them. But no, I love that AJ Hinch story against the Astros. You don't think he knows every weak spot. You don't think he's going to coach up every single pitcher to be like, All right, L tubing. We got to like he knows. No, I get it. I'm not. I don't hate you for your opinion. Mine is just just completely about the problems that the Astros pitching staff could could pose for the Tigers. And that's it. But at the end of the day, I don't care. We got to go through everybody to get what we want anyway. So bring them. Fuck it all. There it is. We're sports chat thread 14 grit little-known fact stick is actually a scientist. No, he is. He's a scientist of the game. Oh, yeah. Oh, he's a scientist in the game. Andy plays one on TV. Do we have one more left? Oh, yeah, we do. The last question of the Tigers nickel package is this run more fun for you than 2012. Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah. I remember this quite this isn't even a debate to me. This came from nowhere as soon as a month ago. And again to everybody, I want everyone like we talked about the gatekeeping before flannel. I who typically can be a gatekeeper from time to time turned. I just left the gates open for this one because remember this guys, it's never going to be this innocent again, right? Next year, who's the pick going to be to win the division? What are all who who has all the expectations next year? It's going to be the Tigers. And if they don't deliver what happens, we're pissed. Yeah, right? We're pissed. We felt like we were robbed. We felt like we were attacked personally. That seems to be the way we work when the Lions lose a game now. So like we think something was taken away from us. It's never going to be this organic and this carefree again. Just remember that. Yeah. Yes. And it's way more fun. Well, the thing is with that 2012 team, once they acquired Fielder, the Detroit Tigers were the favorites and all of Major League Baseball because you know, you had Cabrera, you had Fielder, you had Verlander, you had Scherz, or you had Annabel Sanchez, you had Doug Fister and that Tigers team. And I know we kind of forget about this. They struggled a lot during the regular season. They were two games over 500 at the all-star break. They finished the year with an 88 and 74 record, which this Tigers team could actually match if they sweep the White Sox. So there were a lot of moments where it looked like that Tigers team was going to fall short of expectations and those were painful moments. And of course it was painful what happened in the World Series, but it was all of the pressure in the world was on that 2012 Tigers team. There is no pressure on this team. They could go into Baltimore. Let's just say, for example, and get swept. And I don't think any of us are pissed. We'd be disappointed, but they weren't even supposed to be there anyway.

We have a higher elevation in Washington Township. We lowered above everything. I don't know if you knew that or not. I did. I did. I did know that. Okay. So, there you go. On a Lulu BS, did I miss the bunting debate or is Neil scared to talk about it? Hallelujah. We talked about it. We talked about it. And you can go to my social media. And when the twin season was on the line, they bunted into a double play. So, tell me more. What's the debate? We literally saw it happen, play out live yesterday. With their life on the line. Bunted into a double play. Yep, absolutely. So, yeah. Why would they... It wasn't a... Who was on... Santana was on second, right? You're trying to move him over with a bun? If he was. Yeah. That was to be fair. To be fair, I get what they were trying to do because that one didn't end the inning, right? No. They got the next person out. So, they tried to bunter over the third to try to win the game, which I don't have a huge problem with. Unless you don't have a guy that can do it. Yeah. Which you didn't. Like, you're doing it just to say, I did it instead of, you know, having people that can do it. So, know your personnel, bro. That's true. All right. What's up? All right. That's a nickel package. Where are we going? We're going Lion's nickel package? We have to, right? Yeah. And it's... It's been a while. Real quick. This is the Lion's Play Monday night. Yep. And we spent 40 minutes talking about the Tigers. And they play Monday night. And Monday, we're going to talk Tiger's playoff matchup. Two. Yeah. This is real, folks. All right. Let's do it. Tigers are back. All right. Lion's nickel package. First question. Are you concerned with Marcus Davenport's injury? Am I concerned? I can't be concerned about something I knew was a real possibility of happening. For real. I understand that, but why did Brad Holmes sign him then? Took a spin on it. I know, but a three minute cost less cost less than a kicker. But it's a, it's a position that the Lions were deficient at last year. And you're going to see, because it looks like it's going to be a season ending injury. You're going to have no Marcus Davenport, James Houston, who is supposed to, to help the pass rush. A healthy James Houston can't touch the field. John Kaminsky's out. I understand Levi has played some outside and he's looked, he's looked pretty good. Josh Pascal. I'm not so sure. But I just, you don't have to bargain bin shop forever. This is a super bowl window. And I hope that the Marcus Davenport injury isn't the difference between winning an NFC North or, I mean, not an NFC North NFC Championship game or not. I wouldn't say they bargain bin shop forever. They signed DJ reader. They signed David Montgomery. They traded for Carlton Davis. They brought in pieces that are big names that are being big players and contributing to this team for their run. You can't just only sign A-listers like you, especially when you're paying Jared Goff and Amunra, Saint Brown, and Penney Sewell, you're going to have to pay hutch. You can't just keep signing A-listers. You got to bargain bin somewhere. No, I'm not flannel. Here's a deal too. Here's a deal too. I told you what these moves tell you. Aiden Hutchinson's going to get done in the off season. Sure. He's going to get done. Yeah. And then I don't want to hear a word from you after that. But this is a Super Bowl. This is a Super Bowl window. Obviously, Brad Holmes is the best GM in Lions history. He's one of the best GMs in the NFL right now. But until the Lions win a Super Bowl, there's always something you can have small criticisms about. And this is mine. You had an opportunity. If it were me, I would have probably tried to sign clowny Leonard Floyd or AJ Epinesse or somebody like that. AJ Epinesse resigned with Buffalo, so it would have been harder. But those were also cheap guys on two-year contracts. And I get it. It's hindsight. But Marcus Davenport getting hurt was very, very predictable. And another thing with Marcus Davenport is even if he stayed healthy, inconsistency is also something that's predictable about him. So I just, I don't want them to, I don't want this to cost the Lions in a playoff game. I'm not saying it for sure will. It's just, you're getting nothing from Marcus Davenport. One really good game and then nothing. That's fair. But you know that when you trade for Trey Hendrickson, though, you won't have to worry about it. And that's, there you go. Shoot. Then, oh yeah, I would like things that I would do if the Lions traded for Trey Hendrickson are unspeakable. All right. Next question of the Lions nickel package, are you concerned with Derek Barnes's injury? Now that's a little different. That's a little different because Derek Barnes has morphed into a very good asset for this Lions team. And he was, remember when he got here that first year, people were mocking him. If we're a IT hips and you gatekeep, we got messages from you saying Derek Barnes sucked. I mean, I can't remember any off the top of my head, but my guess is we did. I remember those. I'm kidding. But I'm sure you did. But you know that the moral of the story is, when you lose a solid foot, like Derek Barnes is never going to be confused with Lawrence Taylor. Right. Never. But Derek Barnes is the kind of guy you win with. Sure. I think, though, this is where the Lions are going to have to rely on their depth at the line backing position. I mean, Malcolm Rodriguez was a starter in 2022. Jalen Reeves-Maben was a starter on a bad 2021 Lions team, but at least he's been a starter in the National Football League and he excels at least at special teams. And then even Ben Neiman. Ben Neiman started a lot of games on those really good chief teams. So you've got depth at the linebacker position to withstand however long that Derek Barnes is going to be out or at least give this line backing core and approximation of it as long as Alex and Zaloney gets gets back healthy, which is looking like he is. And as long as Jack Campbell takes that step, I think they'll be all right. I spend no. Yes. What down are we? I'm going third third. Okay. Here's a here's an audible on the nickel package. This is the Sam flannel installation nickel package here. A couple of questions. JP 17 first down of the Sam flannel audible nickel package flannel. Are you going to a Diddy party if the Lions trade for Hendrickson? No, unspeakable, but slightly less than a Diddy party. That's fair. Yeah. Second down, Max Mayer, Sam, would you give up your father-in-law's Michigan season tickets for Hendrickson? No. Then he's not down for the call. Yeah, that's true. All right, fine. You would? No, I wouldn't. The Diddy party won't understand, but come on. Yeah. Come on. That's. Hey, would you have Michigan State go winless? Yes. Oh, no, you wouldn't. Yes, I would. Oh, stop it. I look at that, man. Does that does that man look like he has any dishonesty on his side? I just don't think that that's a good trade off. Like the Lions, as much as I as much as I gave some warning about the Marcus Davenport injury potentially being, you know, a harm you could sprout you can still win the Super Bowl as is. You'd be more likely with Trey Hendrickson, but you're you can still win the Super Bowl as they are right now. Therefore, I'm not giving up Michigan season tickets and you wouldn't have MSU go winless. Think about miserable that would be. You just said he would. You know, it would be better by having Trey Hendrickson up today, not just it. Doesn't guarantee you was Super Bowl. I mean, it does. Wow. Listen to this guy, everybody. I'm turning my back on this guy. I know, I know, because because, you know, I got to sacrifice everything for the Lions now. I just can't wait until it's one o'clock. All right. Can we go on? All right. Next question of the Nickel package. Will Jerigoth have his first zero interception game of the season Monday versus the Seahawks? Yes, because the Lions are going to win. They're going to win that game. I have zeroed out in my mind. The Lions are going to win that game and it will it will be paramount. It I believe it's a non-negotiable for the Lions to win on Monday night for him to have his first zero interception. More on zero interception games later, by the way. I can't wait for that. I agree. And I and the funny thing is Seattle secondary is actually very formidable for him. They've been a hundred percent healthy. I'll distract him, you spend it now. But yes, I just think with this offense, with all of the with all of the continuity from last year, I think that this is a game in which they get right. And like you said, Neil, they have to at some point because this offense is just too good. Would you trade Michigan losing to Ohio State by 40 points or the Lions to win this this Monday night game? No, no, no, no, the Lions are going to be favored. I don't have to give up anything. That's fair. No, no, if if it all rode on you, flannel, your decision determines a Lions path on Monday night. They will win the game if Michigan loses by 40 to Ohio State. No, because this isn't a must win. Maybe for the spirits. Are you guys catching this? Maybe for the spirits of Detroit fans who don't want to lose to Seattle again, but this is not a must-win. This is by no means a must-win game. Are we learning a lot right now, Spemmo? Yeah, if I don't kind of wish washer. I know I'm a fake Lions fan, I guess. No, you're just not a Lions fan. You're a Michigan fan. Hey, I'm both over the Lions. He isn't from Detroit. I know he's not really coming out now. He's from Illinois. You're going to get gate-kept. Oh, I'm definitely going to get. He's a Bears fan in disguise. I'm definitely going to get gate-kept. He wants he's from Illinois. He wants all the highways to be toll-based. Yeah, he wants the Bears to win. I actually, whenever I do go to Illinois, I choose the non- toll route when I do my GPS. Smart man. All right, let's go. I want it to be one o'clock. All right. Sorry, my phone locked. Next question of the Lions nickel package. Is Aiden Hutchinson a legitimate defensive player of the year candidate? Yes. Yeah, I mean, he's got the stat bump at the beginning. You know how you got to get off to a good start and all that kind of stuff. Flannel thinks he is. Flannel would trade. How about this, Flannel? If Hutch was the defensive player of the year, but the Lions couldn't win another game, you would take that, right? No, I wouldn't. You would take that. Oh, stop it.

Okay. As in, I can't make that that determination, but uh, oh, but yes, Aidan Hutchinson, six and a half sacks, leads the league, second is Will McDonald, Watt only has three, Crosby has three, Garrett has two, Bose has two, Parsons has one. He's got a lead over the competition, and he also leads the NFL and quarterback hits, and I think it's almost a mortal lock that he'll at least get to 17 while being very, very impactful. So, yes, Aidan Hutchinson is the favorite. Uh, sauce tins at the bottom of it. Flannel would rather have Mahomes have a three-peat. No, that's not true. It would be my second option. Oh, you should only have one. Oh, I do only have one, but do you just said that was your second. Everybody's got teams that they like and players that they like other than the Lions. Actually, some don't. That's fair, some people don't. Some people don't. All right. Next question. Final question. Hold on real quick, people talking about what about tongue-kissing Roseanne Barr? Uh, who's that? Roseanne? Oh, Spenny, this is your department. Yeah, I would do it. I would say I probably would do honestly. Yeah. Spenny, would you do it for a beer at a baseball game? Yeah, probably. All right, moving. Five bucks. I'd do it for the club. Hey, just do it for the club. Roseanne now doesn't even look that bad. She was kind of good. Roseanne now. Anywho, it's all coming together. All right, next. I need this segment to be over. Yeah. Final question of the Lions nickel package. Are you concerned with the Lions secondary going up against Seattle's pass cashers? Um, I think it's time to put that to bed. I'll be serious about this one for a minute. I won't look at flannel though. I think it's time to put that to bed. Like, I tongue-kissed, man. WTF is wrong with you, Spenny. If Roseanne said, Hey, make out with me, I'll buy you a couple beers. All right. What do you say? You know how much beer in a baseball game this? It's like 12 bucks. Right. A piece. It's 12 bucks a piece. What do you got, stick? Uh, let's be honest though, when Spenny was at my wedding, the things he was willing to do to get a room that night and we're not going to mention names, but Spenny was ready to do unspeakable things to an easy let that charge. I was down for the ride. Literally. You weren't, you weren't condoning it. No, but you were, but it was hot. It was hot. Yeah. I was ready for some American conditioning. Uh, what was the question? Oh, yeah. No, I think, I think it's time to put that to bed about the lion's secondary. Terri and Arnold can play. I came clean about it. I'm, I'm done qualifying it. He can play. I'm cool with it. He's a rook. He's developing. He's three games into an NFL career. Cause what? Let's be real flannel. When we ask these questions about the secondary, we're asking these questions about Terri and Arnold. We are by default. But you're also asking questions about the Seattle passcatchers. DK Metcalf can beat you no matter who you are. Tyler Lockett and is a, it's, it's no different than what the bucks wide receivers were. I just, no different than what the Rams wide receivers were. Who can have went out though? I mean, to me, you're three deep when it comes to Seattle. Jackson Smith and Jigba looks like he's figured it out and is on his way to a thousand yard season. I already told you about DK. Tyler Lockett spent a four time thousand yard receiver there. It's one of the best trios in the NFL. I'm not saying that the Seahawks are going to win. I'm not saying that the secondary is going to look like it did last year. My point is to be mindful of what the Seahawks can do well and those receivers can beat you. And you guys are crazy, man. Like this is not this big of a take. If Roseanne said make out with me and what was it? Hutch wins the defensive player of the year? Everybody would do that. Have you seen Roseanne lately? No, I haven't. It's not like she looked in the first couple seasons of the show. She looks alright. She lost weight. That's fair. For us to win. Yeah, of course, uh, Hocktapuss says I'm on team Spenny here. Thank you. So there are people in there. Do we have any more? Did that wrap it up? Oh, no, that was it. Yeah, we got off track there. Uh, tell us about Planet Fitness. Well, I will as a matter of fact. I just got here from Planet Fitness as a matter of fact. And I can do that. And he's going after.

Get your thoughts out there. This has spurred a whole secondary discussion. Rosanne Brady Orchard wants to know. Spenny. Yes. Roseanne or Tiny Tina? How old is Roseanne? Because it could be another bucket list thing. She's got to be in her 60s, right? Like I said, well, part of my bucket list is 75 plus. She's, I don't think she's 75 yet. 75 plus is on the bucket list. Um, but I don't know. That's tough, man. Because neither of them would be buckles. She's 71. All right, that counts. I'll go Roseanne. Check it off enough. I crack Roseanne out. What do you mean? Come on, man. Oh my God. She's a racist one too. I would assume. Only when she was on ambient. Okay. Well, I mean, you know, that's fair, right? Isn't that fair or no? Probably. I mean, the show got canceled or at least she got taken off of it and it got changed to the Conners, the reboot. Oh, yeah. That's what it was. Uh, you want to get to the college football? Yeah, we can get the college football. Michigan or Michigan State? Let's start with Michigan State. Start with Michigan State because it's going to be ugly. First question of the Michigan State nickel package. Can they cover 23 and a half? I want to say yeah, but then I go back to the quarterback. Like, is he going to throw an interception? Ah, it's our yes. Is he going to throw multiple interceptions? We'll get to that later. Um, so no, if you go there and you turn the football over, you can't, you can't win. You can't stay close. And look, I'll be the first. Let me say this, the whole Ohio State thing. Oh, yeah. I think people have kind of gotten out over their skis a little bit about Ohio State. All right. You know what I'm saying? Like, we can pump the brakes and it's fair to have a question about it. Real quick flannel before you go. I'm sorry. Detroit's premise. He put a five dollar super chat in there. He said, uh, Spenny, would you go a couple rounds with Nancy Pelosi for a line Super Bowl? You're goddamn right. You're goddamn right. He'd go the distance. I would go. Oh, yeah. To completion. Uh, Paul Thomas, Spencer, do you have a thing for Martha Stewart? Yeah, Martha Stewart's actually hot. Like, it's like Dolly Parton. Yeah. Like Martha, Martha Stewart's actually hot. All right, flannel. Sorry. I would agree with that. And, and she can hook you up with the stock tips too. Yeah. And she can roll one. Oh, there we go. Well, there we go. There we go. Wednesday, top five hot. I think we had one before, but that's going to be in pushback. That's fair. Oh, no, DMACC wants to do it. It's road trip snacks. Oh, that's right. Yeah, he was really excited. Okay. Top five hot old chicks. Yeah. The following week. All right, flannel. Can they cover? Uh, because of the answers I'm going to give in the later questions. No, they cannot. You'll, you'll see why when I give my answers. All right. No, it's a, it's a very simple game. Everybody like it's a, it's a very simple game. I, again, real quick just to jump back in on it. The Ohio State thing, I need to see more. We haven't played anybody yet. Correct. Yeah. Which is kind of typically how it works for them. I have, I have an audible. Yes. Okay. Beautiful. Because of the stat I saw last night. Yes. So question number two, audible right off the spenny dome. Michigan State leads the big 10 in sacks. They have 15 sacks of the quarterback so far this year over under three and a half, three and a half times they get to, uh, Will Howard? Will Howard? Yeah. How many of those came in the, uh, Prairie View game? I don't know. I don't feel like looking it up. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to assume a, a majority of them. I'm just saying. Under. Please big time. Under as well because four sacks is insane and I just, I think that Ohio State's going to run the football. So I don't think Will Howard is going to have to drop back very many times. So give me under, it could be three, but it's certainly not going to be four or four. That's crazy. No, and, and, and that's fair. And that's, that's kind of where I was with it too. If they, spenny, I'll say this. If they get to that number of sacks, they'll, they'll cover. That's fair. Yes. 100%. Because those are stops, man. All right. Next question. Over under one and a half interceptions for Aiden Childs. Sorry, man. Until, until I'm proven wrong, it's blind fire the over. It's over because Michigan State hasn't really been able to run the ball. Ohio State's the best secondary in the country. If Aiden Childs is under pressure and tries to be as reckless as he was against Boston College, you've got Denzel Burke and Caleb Downs waiting back there. Well, only three of the sacks came against Prairie View, by the way. So let's respect this. So, uh, over here on Mark M says, "Spenny, don't waste your bucket list on Roseanne." That's fair. That guy's 62. Martha can and would get it. Martha, yeah, for sure. Martha's fine. Like, Martha's actually hot. All right. Next question. Anakin Skygore, what's going on in this chat? Anakin, shouldn't you be in school, right? We'll tell you when you're older. Yeah. All right. Next question. I mean, Loretta Rios might not, because she's a predator. But next question. He's dealing with an injury. He hasn't been listed as in or out yet. Glover is going to play. There's been no word on Nick Marshette. Should Nick Marsh even play in this game? Yeah, man. Like, you got to play these games, right? Spenny? I know. And I know where you're going with it. I do. Like, just let him rest up. We'll just let we'll put that down. Yeah. That was like Nick Marsh, or I read that that prop right there. Hey, you don't know. Yeah. Hell, yeah, you should play. Because if he comes out and plays well, that excites me as a Michigan State fan. Oh, if he somehow is able to cook this Ohio State secondary, then his stock in people who don't believe in him, even Michigan fans like myself, who do believe in him to some extent, but need to see more, I'll just have to throw my hands up and be like, this kid is actually legit and is going to be a first round draft pick someday. So it would be a big test for him. And it's the only way they can cover. If Nick Marsh is out, there's no chance. Real quick too in the chat. I see what you guys are trying to do. And I will gate keep this. We are not, we are not going to discuss Roseanne and quote Fumanda cheese. Alright, we're not, we're not doing that. We're not doing that, everybody. So just steer clear. So 14 grit, take it somewhere else. That's fair. Next question of the MSU nickel package. Final question of the MC nickel package. What should the defense's number one priority be? For Michigan State. Michigan State. Keep the scoreboard starting with a three. You're playing them at their track, man. Yeah, it's going to be tough. And the offense will contribute to that to some degree. Sprinkle the money line. Just, just, if you can, if you can get them and hold them in the 30s, I think that's a doubt. I was going to say limit quid shot junkins and trivia on Henderson as best as you can and try to make them one dimensional. I don't think they're going to do it, but it's the only way. It's the only way that Michigan State can even hang in there. Real quick, before we cut to the break, everything that I say about Donovan Edwards, I think it's fair to say it applies to Trayvon Henderson. I disagree. Like Trayvon Henderson's better than Donovan Edwards. When am I going to see it? He's had over eight yards of carry this year and he's had an over a thousand yards season unlike Donovan Edwards. I'm a Michigan fan saying that sick game against Marshall, bro. Trayvon Henderson's good. Donovan Edwards, you can have questions about it. I was told heismans. The hype, the hype was comparable. Trayvon Henderson on the cover of the video game. No, but Donovan should not have been. God, I hate that that happened because now the jokes are going to put somebody on the table. Will Johnson.

I'm trying to keep it on the rails, man. It's a fight today. I feel I feel like Lincoln. I feel like I'm Lincoln Hawk and I'm arm wrestling, you know, it gets bull early right now. Demi Moore, Derek Lewis says Demi Moore. Well, yeah, for sure. But we all remember that photo. That of Demi Moore. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Michigan nickel package. I'm just gonna say, you know, heavyweight's five to seven. All right. Heavyweights five to seven. All the Demi Moore you want. I remember seeing it on Tosh point. Oh, and they didn't even have to blur it out because you literally couldn't see anything. All right. Next question. Michigan nickel package. First question. How much of Michigan's passing woes during their victory over USC can be attributed to Colston Loveland being out? It's a sit. The system is broken. It's yeah. Like it almost reminds me of election season here. You know, I'm going to do so and so and so and so and so and so. No, you're not. The system's broken. No, you can't say that it doesn't affect it at all. Colston Loveland is right now in a mock draft I got in the wake of Woodward chat is the only tight end listed as a first round draft pick. And you know what? To be fair to him. Yeah. He's probably better off that this offense is like this in that game because everyone can still sell potential and stuff like that because you'll say, man, you survived that. You were the Andy Dufresne of college tight ends. He's going to be like Samuel Porter. I will say this. And I know this is going to sound kind of funny, but I don't care if Colston Loveland played that game. Alex Orgy would have completed at least 10 passes instead of seven. He's the best tight end in college football. He he has 187 receiving yards. The next highest Michigan player has 62 and all of them have played one more game. Colston Loveland is the past game. It's synonymous, right? But it's broken. I mean, Alex Orgy doesn't have the skills more on that later. All right, fair. Next question in the, uh, Woodward Sports chat. Shirley Jones from grandma's boy. Is that the one that, uh, is that the main grandma or is that the one? Okay. Yeah. Uh, well, she's proud. She's still, she's still alive. Like she was 80 years old 30 years ago. Shirley, Shirley Jones. Yeah. I mean, back then you take her out of that movie. Yeah. Well, you put her, but still with us. How old is she? 90. Oh yeah. Knocked the cobwebs off of that. All right. Next question of Michigan. Minkle package. True or false. Calil Mollings will become a third round draft pick or higher during the draft when he comes out. Plan will take this one. I'll take this one. True. 100% true. Because Khalil Mollings is Hassan Haskins. Hassan Haskins is Khalil Mollings and I get it. Hassan Haskins was a fourth round pick, but I think Khalil Mollings has he's got the size. He runs downhill. He's got good feet. He finds the holes and he hits them, but I think he actually has more breakaway speed and NFL scouts when they see that 63 yard run in which he refused to go down on that a four-minute drive to win the game that featured one pass or two passes actually one completion. They're going to see that that is a man who just got heart and a will to win. He would not be denied. Yes. Khalil Mollings will be a third round draft pick. I'm not going to pretend like I'm up on Khalil Mollings 40 time, but but at, but it was a six, two, two, 40. Yeah, two 30. Yeah, two 30. I think he's his draft situation is going to be dependent on that. If he can clock a good 40 time, he can help himself. That's fair. And conversely, if he doesn't clock a good 40 time, he can hurt himself. Absolutely. The answer to that question and it's stupid. I know it's stupid, but it solely relies on his 40 time that he runs at the common. That matters more than it should and more than I think people even think. Just keeping it real. Just keeping it real. I'd want Martha Stewart. All right. Next question of the Michigan nickel package is will Johnson the best defensive player in college football? You go first and then I'll offer up my thoughts. The correct answer is yes. He absolutely is. Even though I don't think anybody can probably hear me at this point. Yes. Will Johnson is the best. Hey, now I'm muted. Thank you, stick. Yes. Will Johnson is the best defensive player in college football on that same mock draft will Johnson would be is selected to go as the first defensive player taken.

And I know he had some struggles. I know he gave up a few too many plays to Arkansas State and Fresno. But in the two games against USC in Texas, he gave up a combined three catches for 31 yards when targeted plus a huge pick six plus a huge pick six in the Fresno State game. Will Johnson get cooked in that Fresno State game though. He made up for it, but he wasn't getting cooked against USC in Texas, which is kind of funny. But maybe he just locks in in bigger games, which we saw him do last year in the naddy and against Ohio State. So yes, Will Johnson is special best defensive player in college football. Um, you know, yeah, and look like that's that's something that's a constant that everybody, you know, that everybody has come in and you were talking about it yourself and said, Hey, you should have been on the video game and all that kind of stuff. Yes, as well. And I guess, I guess this is more dependent on like how, you know, how you rank this and how you rate it and where you stand and stuff like that. I think when it comes to the draft, I think when you look at a guy like James Pierce Jr. from Tennessee, he's like the edge and the numbers haven't jumped off the page at you this year the way that they did last year when he was a sophomore in the SEC and got double digit sacks and things like that. I think that just the tantalizing nature of the edge. You know what I'm saying? Honestly, I think in this next draft, if I was doing a mock one right now, the first three defensive players taken will be Will Johnson, James Pierce and Mason Graham. So yes, James Pierce is. Oh, Travis Hunter. He's forgot about him. The first four will be an intravus hunter will be a clue. You know what spending you got me? Yeah, you got me. I was going to run. I was going to land the plane by saying that Travis Hunter is the best football player in America. Yes. He's the best and I don't care what you guys say. I'll die on the hill for that. When he forced that fumble on the goal line, that was big time. Yeah, he is the best football player in America. He's better than Will Johnson. He's better than your favorite player. He's better than anyone. You can let the hate cloud your heart and cloud your mind on that, but you would be wrong. And where was it? I want to give them credit for it. Well, Cartier says, Oh, no. Oh, no, we're not some high for this line Super Bowl. But if I absolutely have to, I did some of my if the Lions lost the same. Like if it was like, you can do something I have, but the Lions don't make them play out. There's always next year that actually like helps ease the pain. Yeah. So I'm spending what I said. Well, we're in our window. Let's go. So my hike is fine. All right. Next question of the Michigan Lions or the Lions. Michigan nickel pack. Sorry. I got some high on the brain. All right. Optimism more optimism or pessimism after the win over USC for Michigan fans. Nothing changed for me. Like that that game went exactly as I diagnosed it exactly as I handicapped it. The third what 32 passing yards was a little a little egregious. I'll have to say, but nothing changes. Like, can they beat Ohio State? I don't think so. Can they go on the road and beat Oregon? I don't think so. And people that want to say, well, Oregon, you know, isn't isn't lighting up the scoreboard and stuff like that. Dylan Gabriel's completing passes at an 80% clip, man. Sure. 80% clip. So it's just for me. If you can negotiate at Illinois and whatever buster game is on the schedule. If you can negotiate that, you're going to the playoff. So nothing changed to me, flannel. I am going to say optimism to the shock of absolutely no one because I think in order from Michigan to reach its full potential, they need to leave the big 10 and maybe the country and rushing yards. You saw that they have the capability to do that. And also, and this is one thing that I called for on the nickel package before a Saturday's game against USC. I wanted to see Will Johnson, Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant all make their mark play like the potential top 10 picks, which they all might be. And you saw Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant both get their first sacks of the season and be disruptive. And you saw Will Johnson be Johnson Island only gave up two catches for 25 yards in coverage with that pick six. So I am very, very optimistic that this defense has figured it out to some degree. Would you admit USC is well, you didn't you see it didn't fit your narrative to beat them down. You know what I'm saying? So you didn't. So like you celebrated them. But after watching him and being honest about it, is it business as usual at USC? See, I think Miller Moss actually showed some grit. I do. I did. He got he got hit a lot. He got sacked four times attempted 51 passes for 288 yards. So the fact that he kept coming back, I got respect for him. But is it business as usual at USC? I don't know. I thought they they showed something in the second half. That's some metal man. They were getting beat the first half looked like the USC that everybody clowns, but they came back. You got to give him credit. They did allow a 90 yard drive all on runs. That's not good. But they showed me something stick stick said top five races in the chat. Should we do that? I know we should not do that. Yeah, tour to France number five. Oh, yeah. Yeah, good. But you know, I didn't know where you're going with that. I always assume the worst in this chat. Final question of the Michigan nickel package over under 99 and a half passing yards by Alex Orgy during Michigan Saturday matchup with the Minnesota called in Belfast. I will say over. I will say over and here's why Minnesota is of no consequence. Of no consequence PJ Fleck, the carnival barker, you know that he only needs is the straw hat and the monkey with a coffee cup on his shoulder. And and that's PJ Fleck. It's Minnesota. They suck. They lost to North Carolina who gave up 70 points to James Madison. Like I put no stock in Minnesota whatsoever. I hope PJ Fleck saving his money because he's going to be unemployed soon and Minnesota is terrible. And so with that being said, if I'm Michigan, I want to get the heat off my quarterback. Yeah. So whatever I can do to pump those numbers up, you know, not make them rookie numbers, you know, pump those numbers up. I'm going to do whether it's screen passes, dump off passes, whatever I got to do to get him into triple figures. I'm doing it. I'm going to go over as well. I think Colston Loveland plays. I want to see and please, please Kurt Campbell make this happen. Get Donovan Edwards and Cleo Mullings on the field at the same time. Get get Donovan Edwards in the slot. Yes, I do think they go over because Minnesota, I think this is the game where Michigan can try some things. It depends on what their attitude is. If they just want to run the ball over Minnesota and get out of there, they can, but they have to get something out there for Alex Orgy so that defenses can be honest. So yes, this is my almost a heart-head thing. Yes, they will be over 99 and a half passing yards or Alex Orgy will. I know it's a good time to go to a break, right? Yeah, tell us about the pregame show. Oh, the pregame show. A Spencer Raxter, an easy will be out there at second best on Monday night before the Lions Sea Hawks game. It slaps.

Like that's so scary that they have to do that. Like if you're if your brakes lock up, you just got to go up the mountain.

NFL nickel package everybody. You want to do that or you want to do the college football since we did the two colleges. Yeah, let's do college football. All right, let's finish with NFL. There you go. First question of the college football nickel package. Georgia plays at Alabama at Texas and at Old Miss. Is that insane? Yes, bro. It is. And then like it's funny that we brought that up because I had a buddy of mine text me today. And I didn't even think to look at what was going on with Oklahoma. Like their remaining schedule. They have, you know, they play Tennessee. They have Auburn in their, uh, they're playing Texas. They play Ole Miss. They play Alabama. They play LSU. They're playing Missouri. That looks like a maybe a five win football team. Like they suck. Like it's that SEC schedule with the addition of Texas is it, it flips the balance, man. It just does. You're not seeing that in a big ten. I mean, Michigan's is pretty tough. And Georgia played Clemson in the noncon. Yeah. Yeah, that's actually at Georgia's. They're, uh, they're running through a gauntlet. If they, if they go win, if they go, um, undefeated, we can shut it down and just like give it to them and move on. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. This is going to be a great game though. Yeah. 100%. And then they're going to do it again. Yeah. They're going to Texas in two weeks. Yeah, that's pretty crazy, dude. It's, it's insane, man. I mean, I love it. I'll be locked in. Uh, no, we will not be doing top five racist, uh, Wednesdays. We know we won't be doing that guys. So I have caps is second down. I didn't start any of this second down. I was just talking about college football. Second, I was just talking about hot old ladies. Next question. Should UNLV quarterback Matthew Salka or can UNLV quarterback Matthew Salka change college football? Yeah, I believe he has. I absolutely believe he has overnight and you're going to see this flannel and look, I love it because I don't blame him. They said they were going to give him something. They didn't give it to him. Goodbye. I'm leaving kids, something in writing kid. Yeah. That's on his team. Yes. No, I know. I know. I know. And I'll be honest with you too. Like the attention that this has caused. Pray gets him a bigger bag in the off season. Yeah. Now he's now he's a household name. Bingo. See, there you go. So it don't feel like Jayden Davis is ready. Use some of that port. No, no money. Michigan maybe get that kid. I'm just saying. Yeah, we'll see if that happens. Yeah, we'll see. We had this argument yesterday on heavyweight. It's like, it's not Michigan boosters not willing to give the money. Like there's nothing nobody could say that convinced me. It's like, no, Michigan's alumni just isn't giving us enough money. No. Okay. You want to know the deal? Here's the deal with Michigan and this circles back and guys pay attention to this because it'll answer your questions about the hate and stuff like that. Here's where it is. They don't have someone with the juice to pull it off. They don't have somebody that connects it all. They don't have somebody that can bring it together, bring in the money guy, get the administration and get the coaching staff and get them all on the same page. They don't have an agent of change in that program anywhere, flannel, anywhere. The one time they colored outside the lines and coaches got suspended and stuff like that. What happened? On the national championship. When it, sorry, coaches got suspended twice in a season. Hey, what happened? Won the national title and I bet you, I bet you deep down low in a lot of Michigan fans hearts and in people within the university. They hate that people within the university. Sure. I bet they hate that flannel. I bet they hate that that happened last year and I bet they hate where college football is right now and they're just fine with the way it is and you're seeing it. You're saying, look at your team. Look at your team, flannel. In no world should Michigan have that for their options that quarter back coming off a national title in this wild west that we're in. You got Dave Portnoy saying, I'll give you three million dollars right now. Go get somebody right now. Yeah. I mean, people, here's the deal. The people in control at Michigan love the fact that they're in control. That's what it is. They love the fact that they control it. They're, they, they like that more than money, more than the money they're paid flannel and you're uncomfortable right now and you don't like this discussion. No, no, because it's true. I'm just, hey, I'm just happy that last year happened at this point. Obviously, it's not looking as good on the field as we all want it, but all of their goals are still right in front of them. Would it have been nice to get a transfer portal quarterback? Would this have been the year to do it, especially since Jayden Davis is a true freshman? Absolutely. They're probably going to regret it, but I'm not going to stick a fork in my, in my favorite team before they are actually dead. We have some movement too, Mr. Bebop Blue, Neil's right. Russell Hawk, I agree, I agree, Neil 100%. That's the, that's the issue of it all at the heart of it, guys. Like when I talk about it, understand I know where the blame lies. I know where the blame lies. I've said it since the second we met each other, sampling, and I've been consistent with it 100%. That's the, you don't have someone with the balls that can put it all together. So somebody in Miami, other places, they do you don't. Yeah, Miami's been real good since 2001. No, but where are they now? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, they got can't ward. And they don't, and they don't just stop. Like they keep going back at it. They got can't ward. Love to have them at Michigan, but then Miami's got them. That's fair. That's it. All right. Next question of the college football nickel package. Army has over 400 yard rushings and 72 yards passing in their win last night. Who is the best service academy this year? Air Force Army or Michigan? You know, that service academy football. I'm starting to like it a little more now. I wonder why? No, honestly, this is just the reality of Michigan. That's the personnel they have. Alex Orgy can't throw the ball, but he's a big time threat with his legs. And you've got two really good running backs. Donovan Edwards as your RB two is nice and Khalil Mullings is emerging. So they really kind of have no choice. They tried the Davis war in experiment and he threw six picks into in three games. So that's all that they have at their disposal. So they have the personnel to do it. And the offensive line is much better at blocking the run than the pass pro. So as I said before, that service academy football is looking a little bit sweeter now. I'll say this too since since we're on it. Army one again yesterday. Yes, they're four no. Yeah. And if you cowards are going to rank Northern Illinois, if you're going to rank Northern Illinois, who then goes out and loses to Buffalo, do the right thing and slap a number on Army next week. Four no racking up 400 rushing yards against Temple. NIU had a chance. They had a real chance to make the college football playoff and they blew it. What if Army makes the college football playoff? Can they do it? Oh, it'd be so dope. That would be awesome. I would go to 100% I would go to that. That would be awesome. It would go flannel. No, why? I mean, I go with Michigan every week. I'd go with like free tickets, but I'm not buying money to an army college football playoff game. You went you spent hours of your day Saturday for an army style football game NFL athletes Neil NFL athletes. That's what I like to watch Khalil Mullings. I do. Michigan's got a lot of those and everybody in this room. That's that's facts. All right. Next question is Illinois any good? Define good. They are big 10. Decent. Big 10. Look, Bila must going to do his thing. He'll pop a game. He shouldn't pop one to two times a year. He's he's at a perfect spot at a perfect university with a perfect team and a perfect program for him. Now for him, honestly, can we talk about how it was the dumbest decision of his career to go from Wisconsin to Arkansas? He hadn't made in Wisconsin. He was going to probably be the best coach in school history, but he decided to go to Arkansas. Now he's back at Illinois. Yes, I think Illinois, they're good. I'm on alert as a Michigan fan going to champagne because for the first time since I can remember and I know that in 2022 Illinois had Tommy DeVito and last year they had Isaiah Williams, but Luke Altmeyer. I'm not saying he's legit, but that passing game looks pretty good. It looks pretty damn good. He's got 10 touchdowns, no picks and four games, including including a win over Kansas, which isn't aging as well, but still that's nice. So Illinois, they got a couple tough games. They got at Oregon. They got at Penn State. They've got Michigan. If they win one, I think they beat Penn State this week. That's that's aggressive. It's at it's gonna be a white out. I'm happy Valley. I think they take care of business. Do Penn State sucks? Well, if they do, if they win two out of those three games and don't trip all over themselves in a game that they shouldn't lose, they might be a playoff team. All right. Final question of the college football nickel package. You have seen Michigan led the weekend in TV ratings. How come Michigan fans don't want to go Sam? First off, over 110,000 people attended that game. At a discount. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. Under face value. You're right. They did. All right. Let me let me get you into the psychology of Michigan fans. I'll try to make this brief. There are Michigan fans like myself who are seeing this year in a lot of ways as one big celebration. I understand that the product on the field hasn't been great, but you know what? Michigan was national champions last year. Let's just go to the big house and enjoy ourselves. However, if you're one of those fans that sees each year in a vacuum and everything done before it be damned like the rest of college football does. Well, that's not true. That's not true. No, it is true. It is not true. If you want to talk about Georgia and Alabama, fine, but Michigan, we're allowed to enjoy our national championship, especially since the defense of it is not dead yet. It's not likely, but it's not dead. It's not been a good product or it wasn't a good product. The first three games, the Michigan had just come off of getting absolutely clapped by Texas and then one of the most uninspiring wins in Michigan football history with that 10 point win where Arkansas State Backdoor covered. It just wasn't a good product. I think it reminded some Michigan fans of a very bad season, which was 2014. 2014, you had Devin Gardner at quarterback, they couldn't protect him. He was terrible. This year in 2024, you had Davis Warren, who threw six picks in three games. And I know the orgy thing was a bit exciting, but the question had to be asked, why couldn't Alex Orgy beat this guy out in camp? There just wasn't a lot of optimism. Same like 2014 where in their non-conference, they got clapped at home and clapped on a day. Do you know why Michigan USC led the nation in TV ratings? Why? You know why? Because it was Michigan and USC in the Big Ten. That's true. I told you, I was upset that I couldn't go, especially when I saw the prices for tickets. When you could get in for under 50 bucks, I feel like it's a crime that I didn't go to that game. All right. Out of respect for college football. That's what I'm driving at. The nation cared. Why didn't Michigan fans? It's because it was a bad product. It's Michigan USC. Okay, fine. And it was a bad product. The last time a ranked opponent came into the Big House, Texas murdered Michigan. It wasn't it. So you guys were just scared you were going to lose. Why would we want to go to a game? Why would Michigan want to go to a game where they lose? Why would Michigan best want to go to the game where they lose? Oh my God. Loser fan right here, right? Come on. Stop it. Hey, I don't want to hear from this guy. I don't want to hear from starting over there. It's irrelevant. Did you hear that? Yeah. Who cares? I don't want to go to a game because they could lose. That's fine. Why does anybody want to go to a game where they were? They're playing tough competition. It's going to be one of the best games at home. You'll see all year. And I'm not USC in the Big House. I'm not saying me. I'm getting to the psychology of Michigan fans. Did you go? It's been a bad product. Yes, I did. It's a bad product. More on that in the chat. Let's go Red Wing Sparty. Sam, you know, Sam loves Michigan. His marriage is founded on that. That is true. He married into season ticket. That's not fair. No, no, I didn't. It's not fair.

Flannel's wife is a very nice lady. Thank you. All right. Got it. Got it. Was that it? Yeah, that's it. All right. Cool. Let me tell you about Mark White.

We are live at Dyspo in Romeo, Michigan's biggest cannabis mall, Neil Rule, Sam Flannel in Ford D. Max Spencer, Raxter stick, all of you in the Woodward sports, chat, red, like Mike G. I love it when everybody does this. Mike G. Let's go over the top five Oakland University football legends. Number one, nobody. And then I would say, well, you know, there was that national club football association championship season in 2016 when we beat Ohio State. Shout out. If we're into facts, like that's what happened. That is what happened. If we're into fact, nobody claims victory more on obvious L's than you, Neil. Congratulations, club sports. We don't have a regular football team. Yeah. But even if we did, it's not like you would come play us. Yeah. Well, and if you did, you would take the L like you did in basketball. Okay. With tractor trailer and all those guys. Yeah. And Brian L or be took the L. That's fine. That's fine. You took the L. Oakland's a better program apparently now. I mean, you know, they were last year. I'll give you that. Yeah, they were last year. Thank you. Yeah, that's all I wanted to hear you say. All right, let's wrap this thing up. We got an NFL nickel package. All right. Next first question of the NFL nickel package. Do you believe in the Minnesota Vikings? No, I don't believe in the Minnesota Vikings. I don't believe in the state of Minnesota. And I don't believe in the city of Minneapolis at large. I don't believe in their helmets. I don't believe how the little horns almost come together. I don't believe in that stupid horn. They blow at the games as well. I don't believe in their games in a dome that somehow light it sunlights in people's faces when they're trying to catch a ball and all that kind of stuff. I don't believe in them. I don't believe in Sam Darnell. I don't believe at all. See, I think the post game show was stick and Anson kind of clouded the people's view of the Minnesota Vikings because Anson, he's not wrong in saying that they're a threat. It just wasn't the right time 10 minutes after the lions got a win. So that's where I agree with like you and stick on that. But the Minnesota Vikings, man, the one thing I don't understand about the discourse is that you in Spenny, you guys are like the people who liked an indie rock band before they got famous when it comes to the Houston Texans. It's like the Silver Sun pickups. I believed in them before they were good. I picked them to win the division. And of course, they got CJ Stroud. They got Nico. Yeah, they got Nico Collins. They drafted Will Anderson in the off season. They got Danile Hunter. They got Danico Audrey. They got Stefan Diggs. And then when Minnesota beats them by 27, it's just like, ah, the Vikings, big fluke. Doesn't matter. Come on. Who said that? These two. Oh, yeah. These two Vikings are a good team. I was about to say they're a good team. They got the best defensive football. They had the best off season so far through three weeks of any team in the NFL. Bernard Van Dinkle, online one. Darnell Jones. Griffin and Gilmore. Cashman. Are you kidding me? Okay. So Sam Darnell is good enough to pull this off then. I want it on wax. He's good enough to leave a new wild card with when he's being insulated like that. I didn't even mention the tackles on Neil and Derisha. They're a good team. They shouldn't be dismissed into oblivion. They proved something. Well, the funny thing is, is we're going to find out, aren't we? Absolutely. And I want that one clip too. Sam Darnell, playoff quarterback. Okay. All right. It's not about him. It's about what's around him and he's done enough. All right. Mike G. Neil, don't bitch about Oakland sports being under fun and cut a check, man. Well, University of Michigan gets about 52% of the tax money that goes to universities from the state of Michigan. So, you know, maybe you could be better. All right. Let's go. Yeah, second now. Maybe you should have paid for the quarterback, Mike G. All right. Next question. Is Aaron Rogers back? No. Back to what? Like what? Oh, you want me to touch myself? Because he had 260 yards passing in a game when largely it was all nine yard passes. No, he's not back. The Jets aren't back there. To me, they're the AFC Vikings right now. Now, they cut a break. They caught a break with what happened in Miami. They have a path to make the playoffs. I'll give them that. I still don't think they're going to, but they have a path that one of their one of their direct challengers that was in their way is is crippled now. Yeah. Obviously. So that helps them. I will say that. But back like him being a star. No, that those days are over forever. He is what he needs to be for this Jets team. This Jets team has a good defense. They've got good weapons. All Aaron Rogers has to be is significantly better than what Zach Wilson was. And he is and to stay healthy, which he has. So to that extent, he is back to what he needs to be for this Jets team, not back to be an Aaron Rogers MVP level. Well, it's just, it's funny, right? Like the first time that he throws for 280, what he throw for like a buck 70 a couple times and stuff like that, the first time he does it, and everyone's all slobbing the knob all of a sudden out of nowhere. So oh, he's back. Like, like this is the norm. Like it, like being mid the way he was before isn't the norm. I think the first two games are more a testament to what he is and what he's about. So what a game winning touchdown drive against the Titans? No, I know. Huge win. Huge win. NFL big tough win over the Panthers. I know. I know. All right. Next up. All right. Next question. I'll be NFL nickel package. Well, Patrick Mahomes have his first zero interception game of the season versus the Chargers. Wait a minute. Jerigoth people are the worst. Like like the fan boy, fan boys, not the people who appreciate him for what he's done, but you too. You know who I'm talking about. Well, you, you answered the question about Jerigoth, answered about Patrick Mahomes. You know, the guy who's tied for the league lead in interceptions, going back to week 13 last year, Patrick Mahomes is in a league so by himself that he's be, he's above her approach. Well, maybe he's got a good team around him that they can overcome his turnovers. I mean, I'm just saying he's got three Super Bowl MVPs, two regulars. Um, Patrick Mahomes has the best playoff numbers in NFL history. 41 touchdowns, eight picks and leads the playoffs all time in passer rating. You don't want to play this game, Mahomes. He's very well insulated. He's not well, he's got the best numbers in playoff history. He is the best quarterback in a six year run in NFL history. He's got an unlimited credit line. As much as we want to appreciate what Jerigoth has done, which I do, they don't, he's not beyond reproach. So while we're talking numbers, what's this record against Jerigoth? Well, wow. Oh, he's crying over his Super Bowl rings stick. Come on. Let's just tell me flannel. Can you just answer the question? He's winless. Well, I know golf is better. Right stick. All right. Let's go Red Wing Christ, bro. Let's go Red Wing Sparty. If Mahomes could just take care of the ball, he'd probably beaten golf one of these times. Oh my God. Hey, if Kadarias Tony could catch a pass, which I'm glad he dropped by the way. I'm just saying that was right in his hands. Andrew Jones. Every show has to have to have a San flannel Patrick Mahomes meltdown session because it's easy. It's not a Mahomes meltdown. It's he's the only quarterback in the NFL who you can't criticize because he's done everything in this league. He is if he retires today. He's a top five quarterback ever. Brad Hendricks. Excuse me. Michael says, Hey, Sam, Mahomes is washed up. Okay. All right. Fine. Mahomes is a is a Kelsey Andy Reed merchant. Okay. That's fine. All right. Next question. Is Josh Allen the MVP? He's going to be like he'll have it locked. If they be if they beat the Ravens, ESPN and all the networks will go all in and it will be over. It will be over. He's a betting favorite right now. But truth be told, and this is where the nuance comes in flannel, and you're probably going to go nuclear about this. It legit does not matter at all for him. He's at the exit of the highway now. Him and Lamar are driving the same car right now. That's not in the highway. That's not because Josh Allen actually performs in the playoffs. He puts up good play. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter flannel. I know. They are legit at the same. It's spending. Be the tie break here. I mean, he's definitely, yeah, I would, I would agree. Like, yeah, flannel's right too. He definitely performs better than the whole story, but it doesn't. It's all about wins and losses that's the only thing people remember is if you won or if you lost and neither of them have won. That big loss where Josh Allen had four touchdowns. No picks up through the game winner with 13 seconds left, guys. Yeah, you were told me wins aren't a quarterback staff. They're not. They're not. So why do you celebrate it? I celebrate the team accomplishments and it's dependent on the game. Well, you're not in this instance. What do you mean? I'm saying that Josh Allen doesn't deserve fault for that. He's the quarterback in the 2021 and 2023 playoffs combined. 16 touchdowns accounted for zero turnovers and they're two and two. Big Josh Josh Allen just doesn't know how to win, right? I'm not telling you it's right or wrong. I'm telling you it's what it is. But it's not right and I'm going to fight this until they take my microphone away. I will fight this because I'm right. If the Ravens win the Super Bowl this year, yes, you know how that's going to play out because Lamar Jackson will probably play well. That's the thing and I'll give him all of his credit. That's the way it'll play out. All right. That's what I'm telling you. All right, final question of the NFL nickel package. Can the Seahawks win the NFC West? You know what? It's not as absurd as you think. It's not if they get this win on Monday night and they're 4-0. They're not going to get this win though. I know I'm I'm with you. But if they do dot dot dot and they're 4-0. It's it's not as outlandish as it sounds when you say it. That's especially how banged up the Rams and the Niners are just about to say they're both one and two. They're both banged up. The Seahawks have a golden opportunity, which is why the Lions really got to be mindful because the see you're right. If the Seahawks win this game, which I don't think they will for the record, I would probably bet for them to hang on and win the division when you've got such a lead at that point. Yeah.
