The Kennedy's, which B is the Queen B. Find out weekday afternoons from three to six. Oh, Carol, did not write this copy. Joe Blake, please don't be bad. Do these guys have any idea what they're doing? Probably not, but that won't stop them from making picks. This is busy money. Big boys got us. Nobody's talking about it. These are up $200 a year to date. We were three and one last week, $80 made. Almost all of us have had winning seasons today. Me, first place, high at the top, ten and six. Blanker's only a half game back at nine, six and one. He's right there. He could overtake me this week. Now, if you're listening to betting advice, maybe Brian's not the way to go, he's only eight and eight this season. He got out to a commanding first. I started year six and two and if you're doing the math, I'm eight and eight now. So since six and two have not been good. You know who he is? Jeremy? A choker. Well, beside that front runner, he's the Mariners. Oh, he's going to jump out of the gates. I was going to start. That was the meanest thing you've ever said to me, Joe. Call me the Mariners? Yes. My friend did last. All right, Blankers, what's the first game you're selling to us? First game I'm selling to you is the fact that the Buffalo Bills are at Indianapolis to take on the Colts. And I just feel like Amari Cooper is, you know, on the roster, but the Bills, you know, Josh Allen's not turning the ball over. They've got a recipe for success, whereas the Colts don't look very good. They looked like they were a team in disarray for a majority of the night when they were playing the Vikings on Sunday night football. I feel like Buffalo going into Indianapolis. I like the fact that the Bills are going to be on the road against Indianapolis with a chance to get a win when the spreads only four points. I'd take it. Yeah, I love everything about this game. I'm a huge on Buffalo this week. I think Joe Flacko is not very good at this stage of his life. I think the Colts are making a huge mistake by benching Anthony Richardson for the entire season. So give me, give me all a Buffalo. I'm willing to bet a big number on Buffalo. Yeah, making unanimous Michael Pittman adding to the, adding to the conversation. Michael Pittman's already been ruled out for the game. So they're down to just one top level wide receiver with Josh Downs. And I'm going to trust you guys since I'm struggling. So I'm with Buffalo right now. Okay. How much? Our entire bankroll. Nope. On your knowledge. I'll go with a 50 spot. I'll go 50. Softies. All right. 50 dollars. And then we'll do next week as we lost. Knock on Gauss Dorn. Yeah. I have to get a low. I'm going to pay day loans. I mean we're up. We're up $200. Scare money. Don't make money. Yeah. Okay. All right. 50 dollars. 50 dollars on Buffalo. Don't just don't. Did you win the game last week? You want to put a hundo on? Because I don't remember. Okay. I don't remember. I think so. Go back and check it. But I don't know. I was one in one last week. So I don't remember which game. So you say there's a chance. I don't know. I remember which game it was. And Buffalo's really good. Just keep in mind when Buffalo wins this game by greater than four points. We lost 50 dollars because we didn't bet 100. We just lost 50 dollars. All right. First game I'm going to sell to you guys. Atlanta. I was surprised to see that the spread in this game was only three and a half. Falcons are giving three and a half points to the Saints. Yes. They're on the road. I don't care. Derek Carr. Cool. I'm not scared of him. They have zero receivers to throw the football to. I've been out for the year. Camaras had a lot of workload already. Their defense isn't very good. I think the Falcons go into New Orleans and win this game by double figures. They're only giving up three and a half points. This is a lock. I love this one too. I loved it. I was also shocked at the number because I'm expecting at least a touchdown but possibly double digits out of the Falcons. The only thing that concerned me a bit is when you fire a coach that first week with a new coach and everything you're hearing is all there is. You're right about the deck cat bounce. I don't even think that's going to matter. I think Atlanta's going to win this game by a minimum of a touchdown. Yeah. Look again. I'm cosigning everything you guys say because I suck at this right now. You guys are amazing. I'm dumb. You're smart. New Orleans is terrible stopping the run and Atlanta has two great running backs. I'm with the Atlanta minus three and a half. Scott Tyler, you're a great running back. He had a thousand yards as a rookie. Is that what it takes to be great? He is a very good running back. He's not going to be Sean. He's going to say very good. What do I say? I say great. Usually they have two great. Okay. Be Sean great. You're very good. Very good. Happy. A little bit happier. Okay. But even very good to a little bit. Oh, no. Come on out. You're just very good running back. Very good. Yes. I will 100% stand by. Go look at the stat page. You're not paying attention. I just want all the sound bites of Brian fluffing us with all those compliments that we did. How many running backs in the NFL are very good. Because there must be 30. No. There's not 30 running backs every year. They hit a thousand. You think you think out of yours a top 20 running back in the NFL? Yes. I do. Top 20? Yes. Oh. I mean, the last two top 20 running backs just because he's a backup doesn't mean he's not very good. No one said that. Well, I'm just making the art. I mean, when Al Jan gets his chances, he's produced every single time. But you can't, I mean, it's tough. You can't really do that if you want to do it. Well, the only year he has before. The only year he had before being John got drafted, he had a thousand yards. Okay. I mean, and then he's. Top 20 in the league means you can start rattling off. Well, sure. There's not 20 running backs every year. They hit a thousand. There's like. There's 20 running backs in the NFL who have had a thousand in their career. Sure. Probably. But without looking it up, you're probably right, but on a year by your base, it's like 10 to 12. Yeah, I'm not sure. It's a little different now at the extra game. Although running back. Although running back. Although running back carries are spread out so much more now with committees. It changes the math. I don't know. I wouldn't have them top 20, but whatever. We're getting sidetracked here. A hundred dollars in this game. If we all like it a lot. You're going that route again. I'm all for it. I'm back in everything you guys say today. A hundred dollars, baby. Well, then I'm outnumbered. You want 50? I was feeling 50. All right. I'll do 50. 50 is fine. All right, Brian. What game do you guys? I suggest it. Yeah. Don't take this pick because it's terrible. It's going to lose. But the first game I'm looking at is Arizona at home against the Jets. The Jets are a road favorite. A minus one and a half. To me, wrong team favorite. I think the Cardinals not only cover, which is only a point and a half. But they cover almost win anyways. But I think the outright win as well. Cardinals are a much better team at home, their defense certainly plays a lot better at home. We saw that in the Chargers game where they held down JK Dobbins almost nothing. I think the Cardinals do enough to win this game. I don't trust the Jets yet. I know they got one on the Texans last week. But I don't think that's descriptive to the rest of the season. I'll take the Cardinals to win this outright. I am on the other side of this. I saw this number and I thought it should be. I picked it. It's going to be terrible. Well, that too. But the fact that this is the last do or die and it feels like the Jets really feel good. Coming off of the win against the Texans. I thought the Jets were going to. When I saw the number, I thought, well, if I'm the Jets, I'm going in there and I'm thinking they're going to win by at least a field goal, but they're probably more. But that's so now we're split and it's up to Jeremy. Yeah, I was thinking that this game is played like in a five point delta. I could see the Jets winning by three. The Cardinals winning by three. I stayed away from it. I don't trust either one of these teams. I don't trust the Jets week to week. I don't trust the Cardinals for the week. This is one that I personally avoided. I didn't touch it. It's Brian's pick. We should probably stay away from it. Yeah, just stickles. He's been ice cold. He's been ice cold lately. So yeah, you're probably right. All right, next one blankers. I'm looking at this Jacksonville game at home against Minnesota. Minnesota coming off the win against Indy, Minnesota has a lot of weapons. And Jacksonville right now is not going to start Trevor Lawrence. They're going to hold him out. It looks like they are a team in disarray. I know it's a high number at seven, but I just feel like Minnesota is going to win this closer to ten or more. And without Trevor Lawrence, I don't know where they're going to get their offense from. We know that Brian Flores knows how to scheme up a defense to be able to stop whatever Jacksonville throws at him. And I think from an offensive perspective, Minnesota's got the weapons to be able to capitalize. The Sandarnals playing good football. I like the Vikings big here. You don't trust Matt Jones from our AFC Pro Bowler? Nope. And Matt Jones, who looked like he's been eating what they should call him Big Mac Jones, because he's been eating a lot of golden arches. Oh boy. He's a little half joke. Yeah. I didn't, so instead of Matt Jones, he's Max Jones. No, he said Big Mac Jones. I know, I did my own joke there. Great quarterback joke. You're the one good. He threw for 3,800 yards a few years ago. Okay. 3,800 something to brag about. There's only like 12 to 14 running quarterbacks to do that every single year. Instead of Mac and cheese, it's Mac and wheeze. He's going to tap out. I like the Viking side of this too. The number is big and they're on the road, so I wasn't as confident as confident as the Bills or the Falcons. Good. But I like a significant number here. 30? Well, what do you think of the game, Brian? I backed everything you guys say today. The Jaguars are, well, actually giving my opinion. The Jaguars are banged up everywhere. We know that they're quarterback. They're out with Christian Kurt for the rest of the year. The other wide receivers and running backs have all been banged up. I did like this number where I saw elsewhere at 9 to 6. I would have preferred that, but I would still take it at minus 7. It's got like $40. Sounds good. Okay. $40 on the Vikings. All right. Next game I'm going to sell. Philadelphia goes on the road. They're taking on the Dallas Cowboys led by Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush. How many points the Cowboys going to score against the Philadelphia Eagle defense? With Cooper Rush ain't going to be very much. I think the Eagles go into the big D and roll the Cowboys. I think they crush the Cowboys. I think they prove a statement in the NFC East. I think the Vikings easily cover the seven and a half points. They're giving up. It's a big number. It's on the road. Cowboys are terrible. Cooper Rush is terrible. The Eagles are rolling and the Eagles are going to roll right through Arlington. I like Philadelphia in this game. I don't know about all that. What I saw was Cooper Rush was able to at least maneuver. The team down the field when he got in. But the problem is CD lamb is banged up even if he plays. He struggled because of the shoulder. No matter what they did or didn't do with the. With. Mango. Yeah. Mango. Big deal. They're running game whether Zeke's got, you know, going to be held out or not. Doesn't matter. No. It's Rico season. Yeah. Dallas sucks. I wish this was a seven instead of a seven and a half. But I definitely think Philadelphia is going to blow the doors off the Cowboys. I mean, you guys are brilliant. So I'm going to, I'm going to cosign Eagles minus seven and a half. The only thing that worries me a little bit in this game besides it being on the road. Although Dallas has played worse this year at home. I believe they're winless at home. So I mean, that's something that's kind of an oddity. But Devonta Smith has been quite listed as questionable. So if he's out and they're down to AJ Brown is really, really their only target at wide receiver. That would concern me a little bit and keep that this game stays a little bit close. But for now I would still take Eagles minus seven and a half. I don't like big money on this, Jeremy. Full participant for Devonta. Oh, it was. Okay. I was. I was. The only reason that I knew that because I have them on my fantasy team and I was very, very heavily monitoring that. I'm cool. Not a huge bet on this one though because that is a big number division rival on the road. 30. That's fine. 30 is fine. All right. Last game, Brian. Something else you guys shouldn't play. But my last suggestion here is a home team that's only a minus one favorite. So all they have to do is win the game. I'm going to take the Rams at home with all their weapons back. He's been there all year. But obviously cups there. Puke, even though he got kicked out of the last game for throwing a punch. He's back. They're at home. Miami's been pretty up or down even with two of back. I'm going to take the Rams at home minus or favored at minus one. It's Brian's pick. I don't like it. It's better. It's better. It's better. The one thing that worries me is Miami played really well at Buffalo last week on the road. And I wasn't expecting them to be in that game the way they were. And I understand to a makes them better. But yeah, outright, I have no problem taking the Rams at home. Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to fade this game. I think it's going to be a tight game, fill goal game each way. I don't have a good fill on it. I do think Miami's a much different team with to a. I think they're pretty dang good with to a. Unfortunately, they just haven't had a whole lot of toa. The Rams are a little bit inconsistent too, bit up and down. This is a game that I personally stayed away from. And now the fact that Brian picked it makes me very pleased that I stayed away from this game as well. Because he's in last place. Did I mention that? The three of us he did. But Joel said he would take the Rams side, so I think we're playing it. Are we playing it? Obviously it's my pick and Joel, you said you land on the Rams side. I could go Rams. All right. You want me to get it? I'm a degenerate. If you want to have a little Monday, let's do 20 on it. See if I can get my mojo back with a cheap little win here. See, Brian, we would never just extradite you and say you're not one of us. So I would support you. I would extradite either. One of you. I would see that. Only the week you said we were teammates for life and now you're going to take us out of the moments. Notice. Well, extradite and talking bad behind your back are two different things. I think, right? I don't know. Sounds like you're willing to take us to the. You dump on us in a minute. Yeah. However, I'm filling in the moment Thursday night football, neither one of y'all laughed at that Thursday night football takes you have from yesterday's game, bangles, ravens, we're the biggest takeaways you had, 713-780-3776.

Coming to you live in the Veritex Community Bank Studios, it's the Killer B's. On ESPN 97-5 and 92-5. Here's Joel Plank and Jeremy Branham. Thursday Night Football Tanks, in a moment 7-1-3-7-8-0-3-7-7-7-6, Honeyglaze Branham said, "Hey guys, I left my old job in the coworker, we'll still catch you guys on the road." What's your new job, Honeyglaze Branham, what do you think Honeyglaze Branham's new job is? Well, something that hopefully is beneficial to us, because we've been beneficial to him when he needed advice so that he didn't get fired for all the things he wanted to do to the employee he didn't like. Yeah, what would be beneficial to us? I mean, look, you could have food hookups, you could have a lot of different hookups for us, maybe. Yeah, that's a good point. Honeyglaze Branham, think of us whenever you have giveaways. Honeyglaze Branham is definitely above board. Honeyglaze Branham took care of us with a bat and had no problem with it. Oh, that's right. Very upstanding. The tomato bacon thing. Yeah. That's right. I forgot about that. Yeah, he came through with a gift card subverture chance, so he paid up. That was nice. What is your new job, Honeyglaze Branham? We want to know. We want to know. What are your, what are your takeaways from Thursday night football blinkers? Well, I think that nothing should deter anybody from thinking that the Ravens aren't one of the best teams in the NFL and that whether you, you know, we had this conversation the other day about where do you put the Chiefs and obviously they're undefeated. The fact is, is Lamar Jackson in the fourth quarter was unbelievable. They can run the football. They can throw the football. The biggest thing is that their defense might be a little less than in from years past, but Lamar is right back in the middle of the MVP conversation and on the flip side. I don't think that the, the, the Bengals are out of it. I think that with the AFC with a lot of lesser than teams that aren't, are really falling short of expectations for the year, that offense with burrow and chase and everything that they were able to do and the short amount of time they were able to do it, that, that loss sucks. And that is a tough one to swallow and you hate to even bring the officials into being part of the equation. But obviously they play into the mix, but from the standpoint of are the Bengals, a team that looks like they are a playoff team. Hell yes they are. Yeah. It's just a record. I mean, they're four and six now, like they're going to have, they have work to do and they don't have to run the table though. They have, they still have a little bit of room for error. Sure. But I mean, you rather be six and four than four of course you would, but, but with all that being said, because of the fact that you can catch the chargers, because you can catch, you know, the Broncos, you can catch teams that are right within a game, two games of you. If they keep playing like this now, their offense alone is good enough to, to, to squeak into the playoffs. Yeah. They're, they're schedules favorable too. They've already played the Ravens twice. They've already played the Chiefs. They play at the chargers next week, which will be, you know, kind of important because they're looking up in the standings of the chargers. Then they go Pittsburgh Dallas, Tennessee, Cleveland, Denver, Pittsburgh. So it's favorable. It's just very little margin for error. I will agree that they look like a playoff team. It's just that they're, they've dug themselves a hole, which it seems like they do each and every year. No, but I was impressed with Cincinnati. I still think every team in the AFC has weakness though, like Baltimore yesterday got torched through the air. Just torched through the air, Cincinnati gave up a 14 point lead. They couldn't stop Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Raven offense in the second half. So I think everybody's just weak and that's, that's kind of what the NFL is. Like you have a bunch of parity. There is not a perfect team and there might not ever be a perfect team again in the NFL because of the salary cap and how they build it for parity and all of that. I agree with you guys. The two point conversion was, was screwed up. Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow to me was the one that was the bigger call. Like the holding away from the play. Is it a penalty? Yes. But which one is the bigger crime? I thought it was the one where Burrow got smacked in the face. Especially since they missed just a few plays before that on the same drive as well. Like they just missed a defender. I think it was Matt Abike came in earlier in that drive and grabbed his face mask and they'd let it go as well. So they apparently for some reason were not looking at Joe Burrow after the ball was snapped. Yeah. The means though to Jeremy, to your point is it was blatant, but it was twofold because there was a significant blow to that face mask. Yeah, it could have been called that. Yes. Then the pull down, which got the face mask, there was two separate penalties that could have been called there. No doubt. And if you want to throw in the, you know, the holding on Gaseki that it could have been three on that. Yeah. Very play alone. Matt officiate on that play. Do you think that they should have went for two there? Again, we differ on these calls. I, I think the way their offense was playing and the fact that home or road, if they get the football, I think they've got any, they got a total legit chance to win that football game. I would have just taken it to overtime, but if you lose the coin toss, you never touch the ball. Possibly. Right. Possibly. You're right. Yeah. But again, I'm going to live with a chance to play instead of having to have one play go either way. I can live with that knowing that if I do win the coin toss, I feel like I can win the game. Yeah. I would, I would have went for two there. I have no problem going for two. I think it was the, especially on the road, especially with the way that second half was going. I thought it was a good decision by Zach Taylor. Yeah. No, I absolutely agree that whenever you're a road underdog, I, I never want to take the game to overtime. Now, if you have a great defense, if you're, if, if like the Bengals were winning games through their defense, then maybe I could see going to overtime because you're not relying on your offense. You're hoping to maybe get a three and out and get a short field and then kick the field goal. But in a case with it, like the Bengals were the Ravens that moved the ball as you mentioned Joel with ease in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter, I'd rather take my chances with the ball and Joe Burrow's hand for one play than the coin flip because if you lose the coin flip, Lamar's going right down the field and they're scoring. That's the way. I would feel it. I understand it. So give me Burrow over the coin flip. I totally understand it. My big thing is, is that unlike, you know, the, the Baker Mayfield Tampa Bay situation with missing my two best receivers, I feel like if I win the coin toss, whether I'm in Baltimore or at home, I feel like if I've got Jamar Chase playing the way he's playing and the way Burrow was playing last night, I could win the game. Okay. Well, what do you feel like your chances are to score on the two point conversion? I don't, I just, I didn't feel as good about him. I feel like in that tight, you know, the defense, it's a very condensed area. I just feel, I just didn't feel comfortable with it. But percentage on it, percentage on it. I don't know. I mean, to me it was less than 50% for sure. I just, I just didn't feel as comfortable as I would have felt it, you know, taking my chances in overtime. Yeah. If it's less than 50% then, then that's the right call according to what you're feeling, you know? I thought, I thought the Ravens are getting led off the hook with their, their game management there at the end. I thought that they should have ran the ball and kicked a field goal before they, they scored the touchdown and they gave Burrow a minute 45. Like they, they had one time out left after the two minute warning and I think it was first down. They could have ran the ball twice, kicked the field goal and given Burrow like 30 seconds and said they threw it twice. First one was incomplete. Second one was a touchdown and they were up by seven now, the minute 45, like would you rather be up seven minute 45 with a timeout remaining for Cincinnati or would you rather be up three with 30 seconds and since today was zero timeouts, I still would rather be up seven. I think so. Man, I'm on the opposite end there. 30 seconds. No time out. I think it sways it for me. I had it. I was like, they're throwing the ball. I'm like, what are y'all doing? Like I expected them to bleed every second of the clock, turn it over to Tucker with a 25 yard chip shot field goal. Give Burrow as little time as possible with no timeouts. I was stunned that they threw it twice and I'm stunned that no one talked about it. Oh, Tucker. It mustn't an extra point earlier in the game. He's been a little shaky. He's been shorter than an extra point. I know. My whole thing is that if it wasn't, the Ravens past defense looks horrible to where it has been all year. Like if you get, you know, Burrow makes the first completion towards midfield and then they got to go up and spike it, but they still got eight to 17, 18 seconds. I feel like they could get in field goal range. Yeah. Those are up three. It's still a tight game. So like you're not losing the game at that point. I think I would rather go with the other side. I would have, I would have ran it twice 60 30. It was rigged. It was my biggest takeaway. If the officiating sketch and bangles coach should be fired. I guess he doesn't believe in going for two there eight eight zero seven Ravens defenses atrocious. No shot. They can win three in a row. This is great. Their past defense just sucks. Yeah. They took a blow yesterday to a Kyle Hamilton. They will see they apparently the X rays on that were positive is what I read earlier on Twitter. Nine six six six. I don't believe in the bangles at all pretty sure the Ravens are dead last in defense. They might make Trevor Lawrence look good. The Ravens aren't good defensively three seven one zero NFL change the rule doesn't matter about coin toss guys. Yeah, it does. That's the postseason. Yeah, right. If you score a touchdown on the opening possession of overtime in the regular season, the game is over. That's the postseason rule you're thinking about three seven one zero eight eight zero seven. I don't go for two because even then if the Ravens had time to get it in field goal range. I mean, there was what 30 seconds at that point when they went for two 20 20 seconds. Yeah. There's just under 30. Yep, 28. Yeah. But I mean, I don't love this this take here. That's for two because even if they get it, Raven's had time to get in field goal range. Well, if you kick the extra point, they still have that same time to get you field goal range. It doesn't change the amount of time on the clock game online going for two is stupid early in the game. Sure. But take it to overtime and you have more opportunities to win. Well, you're not going to win the game early in the game. Now, see, it comes down to what you think the percentages are. If you think you can score the two point conversion more than half the time, I think you have to go for it. Yeah. I understand it. My personal feeling in both the games, but specifically for this game last night, I just felt like their offense was clicking enough that I'll take my chances with Burrow Chase and company. If they do get the ball, I understand that you've got to hold the marred company to at least a field goal to get the chance to get the ball. But I'd live with that because I just didn't feel comfortable with them and get going for two with a tight field. Well, I think your math, your math adds up. You think there's less than a 50% chance for the bangles to score the two point conversion in that case, you should just kick it and tie the game and go to overtime. I thought it was greater than that. So I would have, I would have went for two, but it depends on where you think. If you're, if you're over 50% that you're going to score there, go. If you're under 50% that you think you can score there, don't go. 713-780-ESP and HRP listener line, 713-780-3776. Let's get to who said it and see if the killer bees can keep their momentum go in. Who said it with the bees next on ESPN 97-5 and ESPN 92-5. Look, this, this season, we all know that. This is the season for a little bit of a basketball. A big game tonight in the city of Houston when it comes to basketball, a big game tomorrow night in the city of Houston when it comes to basketball as well.

Brian would put it on here if it was Dell. I think it'd be too easy. And sometimes Brian will give us an easy one when he really loves the quote, like the one that Paul had quote number one. I don't know if he loves this quote. I think he's trying to throw us off here. I actually don't think it's Dell. I think I don't think it's Dell because of the price because he's playing poker here. I would disagree. But if it's not Dell, who is it? It's not Joe. Maybe that's kind of just the game. Shut up, Brian. It could be Paul. It could be Lance. I think it's Lance I hear you. Would he go back to back Paul? I could hear Lance. Yeah, he would. He'd absolutely would. He's done it all the time. Okay. I'm going to roll with you if you want to go with it, but I still feel a certain way that it's Dell. I think I don't I think it's too obvious to be Dell. What? Would you rather go Lance or Paul? No, you got the first one right. So we'll roll with it. We'll go Lance. Yeah. Now, this is when I don't want more. Nice call. I don't. I don't. That's the best thing I've ever done. Well, okay. Well, this is the best thing I've ever done. Wow. Good call. I really want to retire. I really. Will you admit, Brian, that you were trying to get us off the, the, the scent? I wasn't. No. Okay. No, I wasn't. You're not going to play. He disagree. I never want to play again. Oh, we could call it right here. That is the highlight of. He wants to retire with that. I think you've got to call the rest of them for the rest of the way today, Joel. You have no idea. I did last week. I'm so proud. I can hear how proud you are. I was a good guy. You know, yeah. Please. He's not hiding it. Oh, yeah. Exactly. You can't. You can't know. Yeah, we can hear it. All right. Quote over three. Well, they're animals. They don't matter. Like they're we. We care. We care about them. It's cool to care about them. They are cute until they start mowing your face off. Honestly, I, who wouldn't want to have a lion's skin as a rope. Tell her, John. I think that, well, Lance has a dog. Paul has a cat. I think they're animal people. Um, you said John or Joe? Yeah. No, I said John or Dell. Oh, Dell. I think it's more Dell than John. Okay. Who's your first thing? Uh, Dell was, yeah, Dell. And then I could also see John saying it because John wants no part of anything to do with animal. So what's your lean? Dell? Uh, I could go either way, but yeah, I think I, you disagree that it's between those two guys? No, I don't. I kind of feel, I heard Dell, I think. Okay. Let's roll with it. But then we were both on the same page where it will go down. Let's do it. Well, they're animals. They don't matter. Wow. We care about them. It's cool to care about that. They are cute until they're mowing your face off. Honestly, I, who wouldn't want to have a lion's skin as a rope? That was Polly. The same guy. That one was the trick. Yes, that one was the trick. All right. Quote number four. Alice Cruz, I'll start again as I butcher that one. Alex Crusoe is just a sneak, sneaky smart. No one wants to believe a white guy with a headband could be a good player on any teams. Certainly, I didn't think he would. I mean, he's a, he's a white Aggie with a bald in a headband and the Lakers will never the same after he left. Della Lance. Are they talking basketball on the bench? Yeah. No, no, no, no. That's where I'm at. I think it's Della because he and Sean Mapes will talk basketball almost daily when the rocket's earned season. Yeah, my, my hunch immediately was Della. I'm with you. All right. Let's do Della. Lock and Della. Yeah. Alex Crusoe was just a sneak, sneaky smart. No one wants to believe a white guy with a headband could be a good player on any team. Certainly, I didn't think so. I had the other one right. It was Della Lance, but I went the wrong way. All right. Two for two. We're taught. Two. I mean, I kind of melded in ever since question two. Of course you did. Thank you guys. Mail it back and dial it back and get it in here for this final one. You guys might be choking like I have in busy money the last month. All right. Quote number five. Listen, if you're a tall person in life, you know what that means. It doesn't matter how strange you are. You could, you could be ugly as a bag of rocks. Okay. If you're tall, you are tall. Things are just going to go your way. Hm. Lance is a possibility. Do you hear John here? Maybe. I hear John a little bit here. I hear Paul because he's always the single dude breaking down everybody's appearance. I could get one more time, Brian, please. If you're a tall person in life, you know what that means. It doesn't matter how strange you are. You could, you could be ugly as a bag of rocks. Okay. If you're tall, you are tall. Things are just going to go your way. The okay is what makes me think we're not out. And the bag of rocks, which is kind of an old person's term. Oh. Good call. Yeah. I mean, I'm feeling Granada here because of the okay. If you're feeling him because of something else, then we have two reasons to thank you. Yeah. The only thing I'm worried about is you don't worry about the Paul factor in. It beats the third Paul. I guess a lot of Paul. What? We had two Lance. Do we have? No, we use Paul. Paul was the first one. Paul was the one with the Chiefs and he was the one with the Lions. Okay. Look how quickly he was to answer that though. Well, you're going to ask me to be a push league if I didn't answer. That's going to, that's where you're going to be. You're going to be push league no matter what. Yeah. I'm fine with John. Let's do it. Listen. If you're a tall person. Oh my gosh. I knew it. I knew it whenever he jumped in quick. Oh, he is so happy right now. You can be ugly. I'm happy because. And I had the other side on every one of them. I'm happy because the trick was okay. That is a brand up caught on to it super quickly. That is a total Granada thing throwing okay into the middle of a thought. And that was the trick. Oh, so you did. You did use that as well. Oh, you'll admit that one. Well, yeah. I mean, I'll get back. It's pushing him jumping in so quick and defense that like when he used Paul made me skeptical. I had it. Made me super. Every missing had the other side. Oh, damn it. Yeah. I kind of quit after two. This kind of hurt. This texture says that Brandon wanted to pull a castanza. I did. Like I was. I mean, you could see how the rest of the game played out. I knew that that was going to be my peak moment. I knew that that's whenever I should have checked out and went away. I should have talked the rest of the segment. I should just fill a buster. Yeah. No, I just let you guys do you all this thing. Way to go, Aaron judge. Way to put the early performance on and then crap the bed and we just needed one more win. I mean, you didn't get any of them, right? I did. I was close. If I'm here and judge. No. I got the first one right off by yourself. I was with you on the other two. No, you were with me. You're right. We shouldn't. We were over. You're hanging on to his glory. Brian, you won. Shut up. Looking at the looking at the text line. You were there playing a lot because I don't look at them during it because that would be cheating. I don't either. 9, 4, 4, 0. He hit Paul on that last one. He was all he was all over it. We should have. We should have cheated and looked at it. We would have won. But you're men of honor and integrity. He went three Paulies on us. That's a third. Yeah. Three Paul and two Lance. He's taken. He's like Brendan. He's got posters of Paul all up in his room. Just not on the ceiling. You don't know where they are. Okay. Well, there you go. I would expect the Texans to beat the Lions and just upset that they chose this game to debut the red uniforms and they're about to get their natural butts kicked. I don't love the horn on the side. I was just going to say the same thing. I love the color of the helmet. I love the uniforms themselves. I don't like just the horn on the side of the head. That's the part I don't like here. It looks weird. I wish it was white. It's the same way I don't like the Viking helmet with the Viking horns, which really don't look like horns on their helmet. I like that better than what the Texas is. I think Jeremy's right. You can't do it. At least it should look like a bull horn. It should be white. It should pop. I don't like the dark blue. I just don't like the horn on the red. The dark blue on the red makes it look like it's not even there. It's really hard to see. With the shine on it too. Yeah. You're right. The white would look like the Vikings. But I think it would look better than what they, what it was, what it is currently. It's already been done. I wouldn't mind their existing logo or the H on the red helmet. I just, with the white H on the helmet, but I don't like that at all. Did you see the, the, the end zones? Are they red or are they? They're right. And they have the horns. I got the side of them. I don't like the horn. Like I don't like the color. I just don't like the horn. The horn looks kind of. The horn is the stripe on the sleeve too, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm not big on the horn. I think it's what I've decided. I'm not big on the horn with you. And then the, did you see the new rocket ones? I did. And it's an extreme disappointment. Really? I don't understand it either because they're building it before they actually showed you the uniform. Like we're finally going back to the ketchup and mustard that everybody wants. And then they put the summit logo on the, on the warm up jacket. And yes, it's the font of the old uniforms, but it's blue and it's, it's. It's black. It looks blue. It's red and black. See, I don't love the black on it. And I feel like there's enough yellow. I like it. I like it. I don't, I don't know why they put black on there. It was bait and switch. They had me all in going back to the ketchup and mustard. And I saw that and I was like, eh, there's not, there's not very much mustard. It looks like they're copying the banner. They're copying the championship banners because the championship banners had the black trim on the outside of the banner. So the uniform is like the banner. It's not really the, you know, the ketchup and mustard. Yeah. It's just that red and black trim. Yeah. I don't like them. I mean, it's not that I don't, I like the way the h-town looks on the jersey. But don't tell me that you're going back to what they should have been always going to. And then give me that. Yeah. I like them. I like them. But yeah, there's too much black on there for me too. I would agree with that. All right. The boys are going to take you the rest of the way. P-N-M-A covers the Houston Texans for ESPN ESPN.com. Join Blakers for the next 30 minutes.
