All right, baby, it's Thursday night.
It's time for the next generation of ship chasing.
It's the ship kept ship cast feed overs at Ben Gretch.
Pack terrain. We got pick him in trees going.
We got the Vikings versus the Eagles.
We got special guests. Arif Hassan swinging by in the
second quarter. Going to be a fun night.
Let's do it. Pat Fryer, homos.
This is what this is what I'm hot Anita.
Hand job fix your side, Jamar. And also play chase.
You can't handle the heat. It looks like we're finally
fits. Boys, you're right.
That Cadarius Tony clip hits differently after we drafted him
in our final two drafts in Vegas last week.
It does. It does appreciate everyone
tuning in. This is ship chasing.
We are now going to be on Thursday nights in season
presented by Underdog Fantasy. We're hosting watch parties
here. Hopefully you guys got the game
fired up. We shared some pick 'em entries
on Twitter. I got it pinned in the chat if
you guys want to tell us. And if you missed out on the
first ones, don't worry, we will be building some second-half
ones as well. So, all kinds of action going
around here, Gretch, I know you're fired up.
Pat's still unpacking. I'm still unpacking to be here
forever. I'm writing.
I'm writing the walkthrough and I can't be unpacking.
The people need their info. There's a good walkthrough this
week. I think you'll like it.
Got a little fired up a couple. Here's what I want to know.
I just saw the kick. How delayed am I that I I can't
even. I'm not even watching it right
now. So give me a SEC.
What'd you say? That I just watched the Eagles
run their first play? I see the clock right now.
It's 1445. Oh no, I'm gonna be way behind.
I'm so I don't like being that far behind.
We're off to a great start. Pat is off camera.
Greg is far behind. Did I?
Deal. I'm gonna be a full behind.
I'm wearing the throwback. It's my high school jersey in
the sense that I've had it since I was in high school.
Chris Carter. That's what's up.
I love it. I love it.
How are we doing in the chat? Yeah, people loving Pat's
background. It's it's a very authentic kind
of to real organic look there. A J just saw the kick here.
I'm way behind. Did any of you guys have what
are you cuz what what is everyone watching it on?
I have it on prime pulled up right now.
Yeah, I'm watching. I I, you know, I didn't think to
make sure I was logged in on on my phone to the prime and then.
Yeah, taking care of that. I am on my phone, so I'm gonna
launch it on my phone. Now I have it on my other
monitor, but it's that's delayed.
I gotta find my Prime app on my phone.
Yeah, well guys, really good news.
Just to start here, Swift is on the field.
I feel like that's a really good.
Start. We got that.
We're pretty sweet. We got him in our Go ahead.
I was just gonna say, like the range of outcomes for Swift
tonight, it feels like wider than maybe any other player I've
ever like tried to protect for fantasy.
I felt like I was a little bit more comfortable.
I mean, yeah, week one, you're very comfortable.
I was told like, I was like, you sure we don't want to swap out?
SWIP. For literally anything.
But I mean Siriani made the comment and then Swift had his
own thing where he was like, yes, the 1st I'm hearing of that
the comment that like you never want to give him two touches and
the whole reason they gave him two touches was they were giving
game while a ton of or game. Almost out.
And so I think it's one of those squeaky wheel situations already
here in Week 2 where it's like they're saying we wanna give him
more work. Swift himself is like, that's
good to hear. You know, It's good to hear that
they're saying that. Like, give me the damn ball.
I mean, like, to me, I was reading it like, you gotta get
him some squeaky wheel touches. If you can't leave this game,
giving him just like four or five touches like that would be
crazy. Yeah, Yeah.
I I've been like trying to think through.
Do you think Siriani, you know when he had?
That quote We was like we never want to leave a game without
giving, you know, Swift more than two touches or whatever.
Like, do you think he literally just got lost in the game plan?
Like it was true mistake? Like I am still confused what
their true intentions were that week 1.
I feel like he probably didn't get lost in it, but I feel like
Swift was probably mad, if that makes sense.
Like, yeah. Like, I don't know.
I just don't. These guys have so much to think
about. And like, it's almost to their
credit if they forget to like get a running back.
Enough touches like. It's on your mind, you know what
I mean? Like on the Arthur Smith thing.
Or is like, I don't know, like our number one wide receiver
didn't have a catch. Like, that's a little bit more
like, come on, man. But yeah, you know, it's a
running. You're on the wall.
With another dude, looks like we got Godard with a catch here, so
he's on the board and we got a deep.
Are you guys synced up now? I got you just saw that.
I just. I think I'm with you.
I think I'm. I was sick.
Devante went deep. Dude, did you see the necklace
Devante's wearing? I mean, it is absurdly,
comically big to be wearing that while playing NFL football, and
I just went full boomer there. I'm going Colin Coward already
here, but this Texas isn't. I mean how big it is.
I can't even see it. Wait, just wait here on the
replay. It must be tucked in somewhere.
It's also hilarious. He's the smallest dude on the
field. Score we got so Aw, man.
We got to get our What do we have on our pickups?
We got I'm gonna need A J. Brown.
Now we have over fantasy points on A J Brown and Swift right?
Yeah, so our core one here. We have a higher 13.45 fantasy
points on Brown, lower 49 1/2 rushing yards on Madison, then
over 38 passing attempts for Kirk, and then in the five pick
entry we added Swift over 7.95 points and Hawkinson over 5
receptions. So an A.J.
Brown touchdown is what we're or Swift is what we're for.
Here, that would be great. Yeah, we're swift in with Kerry.
Let's go, baby all. Right, that's the .1 time he
goes up the middle, you know he goes up the middle, just falls
right down. Just bounce it outside.
What if Siriani was on the side, being like, bounce it outside
for what? Bounce it outside.
That would really suffer. Swift.
If he's now, he's supposed to bounce it and he's been ruined
By who? Was it?
Deuce daily. Wasn't that as good?
Yeah, look at this Chris. Great minds think alike, he
said. He tailed our pic on before we
even knew it. Were you in our group chat, bro?
You know, people accused us of group think here.
That doesn't help for the case, Yeah, exactly.
That's a hive mind. We decided to play the hits
right away, betting the under on Alexander Vadison rushing yards.
For sure. I haven't seen him do anything
so far. But so I do think like matchup
wise, that's a pretty fun bet. Madison, a known inefficient
runner, hasn't been a 4.0 yards per carry guy from the last
couple seasons, was like 3.1 in week one.
And then the Patriots playing the Eagles and the Eagles have
Fletcher Cox. They have Jordan Davis who
missed some time last year, but was there big first round pick
last year and then there where Jalen Carter landed.
For anyone who doesn't remember, he was the guy who was
potentially the number one overall pick but had the car
wreck. The other Georgia D tackle to
have the car wreck that cost someone their life.
He falls a little bit in the in the top ten and he winds up in
Philadelphia. They have three really good
defensive tackles. They played both Jordan Davis
and Jalen Carter about half the snaps last week.
They played Fletcher Cox even more and I mean Ramontre.
Stevens had a really hard time running against these guys.
Zeke actually had one or two decent runs.
But they didn't run well over all New England, and they ended
up throwing 54 times. So there's some correlation
here, obviously saying, look, Madison's gonna, first of all,
he's not a very efficient runner.
He's gonna have a hard time running against this
Philadelphia interior defensive line.
And with any luck, the Vikings are gonna throw a ton like the
the Patriots elected to and like they like to anyway.
They threw 44 passes last week. So, I mean the overpass attempts
on Cousins, the under rushing yards on Madison.
Hopefully it's a good early read on Philly's defense.
Yeah, nice. Plus, you know, it's Madison.
Let's see here. Also, did you guys already see
it? I think I saw one of you already
retweeted that Puka missed practice today with an oblivion.
Yeah, dude, of course. Yeah.
Do we get Tutu anywhere? We did as a consolation prize in
a few spots, yeah. Nice.
OK. That that's nice because it
might be like it might be the real price if if he misses time,
Yeah, I mean. We just flew all of our budget
on just, Oh my God. In this league.
With Sean, we spent like $850. Yeah, ours, our league with
Sean. We'd lost Dobbins and we all
were in agreement of going super hard on Puka and now.
They're talking oblique. Practice the very next day.
I mean one of mine and Shawn's is just the two of us.
We went over 900 in ours we went over 800 I think in mine and
Shawn's we have 4 together, just the two of us.
He was available in three and we got him in all three and I don't
think we bit less than 800 and then we also got him with you.
So I'm out of fab everywhere and I got nothing to show for it,
dude. That's what I did with Scott
Fishbowl. I maxed out my fab on Puka and
Justice Hill got 2. I think I forgot to put two.
That's where and now I'm done. You.
Got them? Both here got them both nice.
I want 100 on Justice Hill. I did the same thing, but I just
I did 79 on puka in 21 on on Justice Hill.
I think my league was asleep at the wheel, like giving me
justice. Well, if I was in your league,
that's definitely true because I've completely forgot to put in
bids. Yeah, so let's still got it.
You know, You know Davis's change because Davis used to
grind, even he used to be the one that would remind us.
Remember Pat? He would slide into our DM and
be like SFB waivers run and on slow cast.
I brought it up and his face went blank and he realized he
had forgotten. Yeah.
Sue Ann saying McVeigh already mentioned Puka's injury postgame
press conference. He said it wasn't serious.
You're making me feel much better.
It would make sense if you know he had a little thing, but it
wasn't serious. They wanted to hold him out on
Thursday as a result of that the Friday injury practice
yesterday. He practiced yesterday.
But you know, it's always tough when you see the the midweek
practice thing as well because that means that's what I'm
worried about, yeah. Unless they wanted to practice
him yesterday and they plan to rest him today and then they
practice him tomorrow, tomorrow. Look, we'll just we'll see how
he's already getting the Metro to rest doing this.
Oh man, the the roto. Pat the target.
He's a vet now. He already got 15 targets in a
game, so that immediately makes him a vet.
All right, there we go. A Hawk.
There we go. That's a pass attempt or, or a
pass attempt, yeah. I I do like the play action, you
know, you can fake it to him all you want.
Yeah, faking him is fine. Yeah.
Wow. Cody's already looking ahead to
DFS chalk Tutu. Chalk Tutu feels Yeah, that's
gonna be a thing. Short king fall, baby.
Davis capitulated so quickly on Tutu and like, fair enough, like
everyone likes Puka more. But like, I mean, Tutu had a
great game. Tutu was awesome.
Look at that extension of the run game.
Just a quick pass out to Jefferson.
They don't even want to hand off up the middle.
They wanna throw short passes, get the ball in your playmaker's
hands. It's just the thesis, the
football. Yeah.
Shout out to Denny, by the way, for his video demanding the run
game return. Do you guys see that?
Was this the 2 high safeties 1? Is it 2 high safeties?
Yeah dude, there I I read Davis's tweet and there were
some hilarious mentions in there.
It's like. For some of us who care about
more than fantasy football, we'd like to see good defense, we'd
like to see turnovers. No, you don't.
So that person, like, I honestly want those people to take a lie
detector test. They're just, it's just
posturing of trying to be like I'm a football guy who knows
ball. You don't actually enjoy that.
You don't. I think they're fans of teams.
I think that's honestly what it is, cuz if you're not in the
fans, fans of teams with shitty offenses.
Right. You're coping.
Yeah, they're fans of teams who are coping.
Cuz like if you're if you're a fan of the league, you're mostly
it's like fantasy betting, right?
Like what are you? He wants.
This is a an exciting thing from Cameron here and I just saw
Norris tweeted it out. I added it for my little
stealing signals, notes Addison, apparently starting in two wide
receiver sets I didn't notice that shout out to and four
straight passes to start the game for Kirk Cousins.
Loving that, loving that. That's great for us.
That's good. That is very good.
Well, the other thing about the Vikings week one is it was like,
I think people were like spooked about the the Osborne stuff, but
it was like they were so condensed, right?
Like they only played three wide receivers that whole game.
Yeah, let me pull up the notes. I run some notes.
I did like a little mini walkthrough for you guys.
Yeah, that was awesome. I really enjoyed that.
I felt all the way back reading that.
I was like it was great cuz I was like.
No good. No, I was just gonna say I just
pulled it up. The fantasy life utilization
report. Now all this stuff completely
free. It's awesome to be able to pull
it out. But look at this.
Jefferson Osborne Addison, 100% of the wide receiver routes that
are pretty and nuts. This tool is awesome, and if you
read the walk through this week you're gonna see a lot of
screenshots from it. Yeah, it's been really helpful
for me with game log stuff. Snapshare route participation,
like your own reference route participation, like a lot of
that for me in years past was downloading it and putting into
a spreadsheet and then like downloading another spreadsheet
and dividing by the fucking dropbacks.
Yeah, it's just, it's just in here now.
I'm still doing that. Yeah, don't.
You don't have to. You can go there.
Literally been doing that. This is the beginning of
stealing signals for like 10 years.
Well, now I pay someone to do it, but yeah, well.
It's it's free now. And let's talk offline about who
you're paying to do that, because I'm.
I'm still also doing it for some of the other stuff I did that's
trying to make some extra money. No, I'm trying to get this shit
off. Yeah.
So, OK. So I had a couple notes on the
Addison thing. So that Addison only had a six,
had 66% route participation, but he had a first read target rate
of 16% with Osborne. At just 7%.
Osborne though is at 94% route participation.
So my read was that Osborne is sorry Addison is functionally
the wide receiver 2 already, even though playing time doesn't
reflect that yet. Yeah, you wrote the wrong name.
I wrote the wrong name. Yeah, I read that and I was
like, ooh, pat typo. There's a lot of typos.
Yeah. Also, I'm gonna love the energy.
So, like, the the energy levels that we're coming into, like
Gretch has stealing signals in his rearview mirror.
He's just ready to roll into the weekend.
God had his like, disheveled mid walkthrough.
I'm gonna end up being somewhere in between as like tired nine
month old. But you two are gonna be on the
opposite ends of the exhaust. How?
Far are you right now? Ohh dude.
I'm I'm, I'm done writing it. I'm done writing the the thing
that sucks is like fucking puka. You know?
And then I like miss the yeah, like JC horns that inactive or
something. But you know and I'm like
whatever dude. I said crystal, I was gonna
smash it. I'm leading that.
You know like that's a little bonus.
You can add that yourself. Yeah.
But there's like little things I constantly have to go do with
injury report stuff that comes out.
But it's done. So now I'm just narrating it and
editing it so. I've got, I've got.
Like. I think.
How long does it take you to narrate it?
A lot longer than I was hoping. I don't do it how?
Does it take? It's been a lot because what it
is is that I'm editing it. The reason I thought.
That narrating it would. Be not that big of a lift is
that I edit out loud. So I was like, I'll just it's
just like A2 for one. What are we watching here?
Did Hurts get hurt? I don't know.
I think it's the defender. They were showing the defender,
Yeah, he's OK. But yeah, I think you guys will
enjoy the narration. Nice.
A lot of charts. Yeah, a lot of charts.
So you're gonna want to have the article up.
Scroll. It's like a scroll while you.
Listen kind of thing. You know you can't.
What's that? You can try, you can try to
convert the audio listeners, but the audio listeners, they're,
they're stubborn. They deserve to be serviced.
They say I know I. Described the charts.
The charts are there like I described.
I'm not just freezing through because the charts are such a
big part of it. So I kinda, I mentioned what I
basically put the chart in there to show you.
Yeah, Paul and both here says, are we talking DFS?
We're not talking to us, We're talking Pat's incredible, game
by game. Walkthrough of the entire
weekend. It is DFS, but it's everything.
It's seasonal. It's anything you could possibly
want. It's better just trying to
figure out what's gonna happen. Yeah, right.
Football. Yeah.
What is the format the same as it was just last year?
Is it slightly? I kept it the same no I thought
about tweaking it and I just I know how to do.
This so I'm doing it, yeah. The also shout out to all the
the ship chasers that we got to hang out with in Vegas last
week. We obviously didn't have a show
because we were partying in Vegas drafting a bunch of you
guys were out there, had an absolute blast.
I can't believe like even 20 or seven days ago guys, our night
at our Thursday night, they got a little out of control.
Like that hadn't even happened yet.
It was 530 Vegas time a week ago it.
Feels like a year ago. Yeah, so you're just watching
this game, the the kick opening kickoff game.
That's incredible. You guys were still at the pool.
I was down at the party. Like, where the hell are Patton
Beat? Like, they're still at the pool.
We were our guy, Cruz. He was handing modelos.
You you were there for part of that, Gretch, Yeah.
What's that? I was.
I was catching the modelos. You were catching up.
Yeah, Yeah. Oh, John Warner was the one.
Chuck it up to you. That's.
Right, that was a blast. You were talking to the
lifeguard and got her to do a backflow into the pool, man.
It was, yeah, you had some real chemistry with the lifeguard who
was like kind of kind of like on our side.
And then she's just like at the end.
She just, she was like, no, like stop throwing those and then
Peek gets up and sweet talks her and then she's doing a backflip
into the pool for some reason. Well, well, the story, the
initial story. So John starts chucking beers to
us in the pool, you know, cans of Modelo.
And she's like blowing the whistle like, no, no, no, you
can't be throwing these beer cans.
And so I go over to try to smooth things over.
And I was like, can we just throw one more?
And and she's like, she's like, OK, you can if.
And I'm like, OK, I was like, this is going to be, you know,
something. We got to, you know, shape up
here. She's like, if one of you does a
backflip into the pool and I was like, you're going to allow us
to keep doing the dangerous thing if we do it even more.
Dangerous thing. And so then Tyler, evo cowboy
here, went did the backflip. And then later, I think she was
just setting us up for her, inevitably doing the backflip.
She wanted to do the backflip. She was stoked about it, yeah.
And she was like nobody told my boss.
And then if you guys want to know, the Medela brand is
strong. I gave her a Medela to put in
her lifeguard Fanny pack on the way out there too.
So that's when she blew the whistle.
We were watching cuz the guy was kind of cleaning up the bar and
he's like, leave the TV. There's TVs at the bar.
So we're watching the game and we had beers and he's like,
yeah, you guys stay here, watch, whatever, I don't care.
And then she came over and was like leave.
Like, all right, I guess we're dude head to the point Daisy
brings up Jacob's travel story. Oh my God, straight up home
alone situation. He gets on a flight.
He's, he's in BC I think he flew to a different city, like
Calgary or something. Yeah.
Gets on a flight there somehow. In Canada, they don't check you
at the gate and there they he has to show his ticket somewhere
earlier and there's multiple gates beyond there.
He gets on a flight, it's 90% full.
The seat on his ticket is open. He sits down, he fly, he's got
his headphones in, not listening.
Flies all the way to another city, gets out, looks on his app
to see where his hotel is, and he's 400.
He's 4 hours at 4 1/2 hours away from his hotel.
He's in Los Angeles, not Las Vegas.
You got on the wrong plane and his seat was open on the wrong
plane and flew all the way. And he he was like, he's like, I
thought I was in a dream. And then I looked up and I said
welcome to Los Angeles. He literally flew all the way
there and then saw this sign and that's when it sunk in.
I mean, it's an incredible story.
You guys see that swift run? That's pretty great.
We're starting one, by the way. He's had a couple.
Yeah, sorry, that's another one. I was pulling up photos of Jacob
in a cowboy hat, so I might have missed the first one.
By the way. This man right here couldn't
figure out how to get to America.
I was telling Jacob about, like, that picture just gives me,
like, such a clear description of who that man is.
Not Jacob. It's not Jacob.
It's a much more problematic Jacob, by the way.
He showed me this Canadian football play where Canadian
people you told me you told me some word.
Was it Rouge like Moulin Rouge by the way.
I've had to Google it every time.
Every time I'm about to talk about I have to Google what this
word is cuz I can't stick in my brain.
The word stuck in my head but I don't understand anything else
about it. They score points while punting.
You can score. It's something like there's a
field goal post, but if you like, just get it into the end
zone. That's also worth one point, so
it's like it's a 3. You know you're going for three,
but. Like, you can get one that's all
right. So there's this, like, famous
play. I guess Mark Tressman was
involved. Remember that guy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was the, yeah, the CFL guy.
That was then the Bears offensive coordinator.
Yeah, yeah, I hope so. He's one of the coaches on the
sideline for this, like, you know, legendary Canadian
football play where they kick in the end zone.
But the thing about the Rouge is that you can like unrouge if you
pick up the ball and kick it back.
I remember seeing this. Oh God.
So it's absolutely insane. So I was watching this.
I was like very drunk on Thursday night.
It was like, this is ridiculous. And then I woke up Friday.
Is it 1 where they kick it back like three times?
Yes. Yeah.
OK. I have seen a play like that.
But I didn't understand There were points on the line and
they're like, it's like, what? No, there's points going on.
It's like a game deciding play. Anyway, I decided it was
actually kind of fun. I was just trying to get back
and forth at each other and then chasing it down.
Oh man the oh hurt oh picked off.
That was bad. That was not a good throw.
Double coverage. I mean, they got to get rid of
these two high safeties. Let Jalen hurts.
I love Davis's tweet about that. He's like if they outlaw it.
Oh man, I love it. Let's just straight out a lot of
two eye safeties. That's not I love.
The two. The two.
Factions. Not like Two Eye.
Yeah, they can't even do that. How could you possibly do that?
Do you understand how do eye safety works?
Like what would? You How would you even build
that? Like aren't they not even always
into eye They're just showing it and then they do it.
It's like a yeah, it's just idea of this channel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the I love rolling and and changing
coverages, right. You have you have these guys
layer your coverage. That are like you have to
declare your coverage no moving. You're getting soft.
You guys are turning the NFL into flag football.
And then we got Denny and Davis offline.
We like get rid of anything that keeps.
You know fantasy scoring down for those?
No, But I did bananas with Sean today.
His solution was essentially do Canadian rules.
He was like, no motion penalties.
Everyone can move before the snap.
And I'm like, all right, let's, I'll sign up for that.
Like let's just get all the the receivers running around and
running towards the line of scrimmage and then snap it.
Sure. Let him Rouge in that unrouge.
I mean, come on, you know, the unrouge is the best part.
You know the that hearing that story, I just had flashbacks to
that one episode that Liam and Davis did.
I think it was last year where they argued about like.
Like rugby rules and how like a team could implement that.
The very best podcast of the offseason.
I think I laughed so hard. I was, I was.
It was amazing. I think we need standards and
Liam. And Leah Galaxy bringing how we
can bring these other things from Canadian football and
Australian rugby to the NFL. I think that always just
electric content with those two. I love that that Liam called us
out on Twitter for beating us on a bid that I think the three of
us probably spent a collective maybe 10 seconds on.
Like we have Stephanie doing incredible work on the waivers
for us. Talking with our Co managers, I
was like, I don't even know what we've been on this.
And Liam's like Victory laughing it, and they're pretty quickly.
Liam and Davis and The Vengeance are arguing with each other
about whether they know Ball or not.
Yeah, this was this was the tweet.
This was the main event we drafted against The Dirty boys
here. And they're victory lapping that
they're in first place just because they sun run to the
Dallas Cowboys defense. Yeah, this is for us.
It's a Kelsey Judy Dobbins team and we lost by 10 points to them
and they had that defense. Yeah, I mean, a lot of egg on
our face, huh? I would.
I would say that we'll wait to dunk on them later in the
season, but just the way this this fucking guy.
Liam Sunruns, everything. That dude I love that he's part
of his strategy is to Sunrun if. You ask him what he does.
Like I do this, I do this and then I Sunrun.
Yeah, that's a good strategy. Like seeing this, the question
mark profit steps to getting rich.
Is it a JB to the? Hopefully it's just for a pee
break. Where?
Where on the cart was he? No.
Oh, Madison just fumbled. I think AJ Brown's hurt.
I'll give him all of the body parts.
Take my cock, A.J. Brown.
I didn't know Leva Tim was on him.
That's just dude, that's our stuff is going so well.
But we need A.J. Brown.
Yeah, but he does this sometimes, You know, he gets a
little banged up. He comes back.
Yeah, that's true. He has been known.
Yeah, the I saw historical anomalies in the chat earlier.
Asked what we were drinking. What do you guys got?
Gone. I got a Margarita, like a full
Margarita to start. And then I'm gonna go to some
pills. Kills for the pills.
Pills. Some pills.
She screws. Man, do you watch Watching
Brooklyn 99? You're a Brooklyn boy.
I thought you would get the ref. I've never watched it, actually.
You've never watched Brooklyn 9/9?
No. That is a legit great show.
There's just a character on there.
He's like a douche and he's really into pills.
Nurse and he calls him pills and he's like a kills for the pills.
I just want our sponsor to know that Ben is not about to leave,
to go do hard drugs and come back on, Oh no, not pills.
Pills. Yeah.
I got, I got some Casamigos, mezcal gone tonight.
Here. Nice, nice.
That's that's fitting. It's 5:45 here.
I haven't started drinking. Yeah.
What does it feel like to be doing?
It's 5:45 here. I don't think.
I don't know this, but it's always been this early.
When I've been drinking with you on stream, it's yeah, it's 545
and Ben's popping open a pill. Yeah, OK.
AJ Prod just caught a ball, so I think it's all right.
Yeah, so. That's good.
Everybody relax. Everybody relax.
We are good. OK, so where are we at on this
pick up? We're in.
Well, I saw Charlie in the in the chat, he said he said one of
the best shows and I was like so nice.
Everyone's enjoying the show tonight.
And then I realized he's talking about Brooklyn.
Oh, that's amazing. Or the Liam Davis one.
It could be anything other. Than ours.
Thanks, Charlie. Appreciate you.
So here's the thing, Berg, This is, he says, further proof It
should be Friday Night Football. I think we're gonna bring big
Friday energy to Thursday night ship gas.
This is my version of a Friday night.
Oh, hell yeah, Pete, I love that glass.
Great Glass. Was just thinking about that
earlier. That's a great class.
Pretty be classy. It's a great glass.
I now I want to I have one similar to that remember our.
Yeah, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football games on
the narration might get a little sloppy.
Little sloppy. Not this week.
It'll be nice. And sometimes, and I was
listening back to myself, I was like, sometimes I'm slower even,
you know, I'm completely Ubers are out nice.
Love it? Yeah.
Don't do me, Mike. Don't do me, bro.
What do remember? Didn't we?
Didn't we take Jake Elliott in the bar high school?
Speaking of glasses, Pete, this just came today in our very
first one. Beautiful look at that.
Look at that, we got If you don't have this.
Tumblr glasses in the store. If you want your ship that's got
it, that's got it in one of these boxes back here.
He's not gonna be able to find it.
There's no way I'm gonna find it.
There's so many tents like we'd love to find.
I just know I can't. Hey, Katie.
By the way, we got to be Katie out in Vegas.
Was great to be. She says you're not allowed to
have the fancy glasses while streaming.
She's calling our ship Chasing Glass.
Not a fancy glass. I mean, it's a pretty fancy
glass. Remember, we have the same
glasses, Pete, so I'm not using the glass that you're using.
When we did the best ball after dark, we were.
But she's right. I've gotten every All sharp
objects have been taken away from me.
I'm not allowed. AO23 get me for the ad.
Speaking of ads, we are presented by Underdog Fantasy
and we have our own promo code. Now if you guys have not signed
up on Underdog, you can use promo code SHIFT to get that
$100 deposit match. We do already have our pickums
going for the full game, but we'll be firing up a few more
entries at half time. We're going to talk that
through. We also have a reef ass on.
Formerly of the athletic, has a great sub stack nose ball knows
the Vikings inside and out. He's going to be swinging by in
the second-half and I believe and maybe I'm you know pimping
her into it right now for sure. But Steph is going to swing by
at the start of the third quarter to give us a little
waiver wire roundup, let everyone know how our first
round of bids go because guys I don't know, we we got some
feedback. People are devastated we don't
have the waiver wire show. So we can let them know we can
talk a little waiver bids with them in the third quarter.
So we got Murphy. I got a yes, Murphy.
Wow look why I still have Liam's tweet up here.
Like I don't like it. I got a I got a question for you
guys. Important question.
Has anyone seen Rashad? Penny Cuz I have not seen him on
the field yet. I haven't seen him.
I haven't been watching. If he doesn't get any run here,
I mean it's. It.
Is it? It might be is it dropsism it's
drop, it's drop time I think yeah.
The beautiful I was, I was thinking about this the other
day because I I still would put money on Rashad Penny showing up
at some point this season and having a couple 100 yard games.
But that's the beauty of best Ball is you have to cut them and
manage. You gotta churn, you move on.
But you are gonna love that 30 point Rashad Penny game.
You made a week 14 randomly and also I think from a best ball
strategy perspective, I mean it gets back to like making anti
fragile bets, making talent based bets, right, Because like
what's the payoff if you're right because trying to predict
the week to week stuff is a lot more challenging.
But if you just bet on a player like Rashad Penny and then just
say well you know it would really suck if he never plays
all year. But if he gets an opportunity, I
do feel very confident like what you're saying is if he ever does
get the opportunity you feel very confident he's going to
have 100 year game in that opportunity because he's good.
We think he's good. What's happening?
Is he good? Is he not good anymore?
I mean, he did come off a serious injury and now that his
team doesn't think he's good. So I'm a little worried.
I mean, he's definitely, I regret taking him where I took
him as much as I did, for sure. Well I was just, yeah, I was
doing a I was doing a write up because I was seeing.
So we got of course the Lions Seahawks play on Sunday in their
past two matchups. The first one was the year Liam
won Best ball mania. They combined for 80 points.
Rashad Penny goes nuclear last year.
Their game combines for 93 points.
Rashad Penny goes nuclear. It's just like when Rashad Penny
is on the field and he's getting you know 15 plus touches.
The dude goes nuclear every time, but it's hard to get him
on the field and. Oh, oh, Jefferson tried to do,
tried to do something. Now we want this.
This is a flag. We we want this to stand.
Cuz that was a That was past tense.
You know, we gotta get this passed.
Ooh, good call. Yeah.
What's weird is Rashad Penny averaged more than six yards per
carry last year and he got hurt. And like, maybe he's he's just
hurt now, but more than six yards per carry last year?
More than six yards per carry the year before.
That's a lot. His career average is 5.7 yards
per carry. That's an obscene offside.
So there goes our pass of town. That's an obscene rate of yards
per carry for your career on 337.
I mean, like, yeah, he's never been healthy.
But and then the other thing, the part of the reason I was so
in on him, the really sharp film grinders, the people that I
actually, I really respect what the way that they break things
down. Those guys were looking at his
preseason runs and they were excited about the way he was
following his blocks and the things he was doing.
And I mean, I honestly like my thing is I just think Nick
Siriani doesn't know ball is what it comes down to.
Like. I mean, he just clearly doesn't.
I want these guys to figure. It out.
Speaking of a guest who knows Ball, it is of course Arif
Hassan. We are here coping with our
Rashad Penny bags as he. Is it doesn't.
Sound like doing anything it? Doesn't.
Sound how you do it, Arif. I'm good.
I love.
I love that Siriani tech man. That's a listen.
I just want my whole Margarita to start the first quarter.
Just like half the players in this game.
Yeah, exactly. How have you been, man?
I I think last time we synced up on shows, we've done some stuff
on Splash play together. I believe this your first time
on ship chasing. We're super stoked to have you,
man. Oh yeah, no, it is my first
time. This is fun, man.
I love, I love getting on pods with you.
Awesome man. How is how is your season been
going. I know you launched the the sub
stack you're in you're in those streets, you and Ben handshake
emoji sub stack. How's that been going?
That's right. Dude, it's killer.
Oh my God, I first of all, I wake up late, which rules.
I highly recommend that. But yeah, no, I mean I got a ton
of support from people I didn't expect.
Sub stack just made me like a featured sub stack.
So for the next couple of days, like shows up in the explore
page, which is killer. So yeah, I don't know man.
It's fun. I love it.
It's awesome. And what's how we feeling about
this Vikings team here? Because I know you follow these
guys closely from the fantasy perspective.
We always love them. I know people aren't always too
hot on their defense and all the intangibles, but how we feeling
about the Vikings? I mean, OK, I mean, for this
game, I'm not feeling hot. I think that that has borne out
so far, but I I don't know. I mean, this team is like, if
the fundamentals are fairly solid, I would argue, right?
Like, obviously turnovers are a problem and stuff like that, but
fumbles only like -2 points anyway, right?
Who cares? But yeah, I mean they they do a
pretty good job of like figuring out how to generate yards,
figuring out how to consistently create successes.
When you take a look at stuff like like for example the way
they run the ball. Yeah, they're not.
They're not getting yards per carry or whatever, right?
But yeah, of course I got a thick mic, dude.
They're not getting a ton of yards per carry.
But there's like a 45% success rate on runs last week.
That's crazy. That was better than McCaffrey,
right? And so that's like a pretty good
way to determine. How effective the run game is at
putting them in positions where they want to be.
And you know the defense is not shot since.
Last year, yeah, Madison averaged like 3 yards per carry.
Last week they had a four. Soon as he hits his success, he
stops. Yeah.
His longest run was 9 yards, like what you said is exactly.
Alexander Madison runs every run, as if he needs to kneel
down so they can win the game. Coaches out of you can't run
into the end, yeah. He's just one play, yeah,
exactly what we need and nothing more.
He's our analytics king. He he's calculating what a
successful run is on every play and then he stops.
All right, Arif, let's get the elephant out of the room,
people. I'm getting Mike Envy.
The chat is on fire about this. Mike, it's I I don't even know
if that's a bike. It looks like a a PC.
It looks like a subwoofer like it looks like.
Yeah, my mic's actually all the way over here.
No. No, it's a no.
So it's just instead of having to like pay for like a bunch of
soundproofing up front. Look, yeah, it's a normal sized
mic. It just has like the the
shielding closer. To the show that again I felt
something. When is that?
That, Is that an air conditioning unit?
Wow, look at. That wow.
Sweet dude. Yeah.
I mean, it can get kind of like because the table's right here,
so it can. You know, but like, other than
that, it's. I love it.
I don't have to. This does nothing, right?
This is all aesthetics, and half of them just fell off anyway, so
the aesthetic thing is ruined anyway.
But like, just in terms of like, figuring out kind of reducing
echoes and stuff like that, I don't have to invest in any of
that on the wall in front of me. It's all right here.
Look at that. I don't cuz initially you said
you don't need to do all the soundproof I was like isn't that
what's over your shoulder? But that's just.
You're just trying to look like you got that?
MPR Yeah, it's like I got a studio and again, half of them
like fell off right? So now it just looks like
garbage. But how are you?
How are boxes at dampening sound?
Is that they helpful? So before I had this, it was all
moving boxes right behind it. And honestly, it depends on
what's in them. But they're all right.
I'm gonna need you to send me some links, man.
Vadim. Vadim hates my signings, but let
me know, he says. Gretch, pay attention.
Look, man, I'm taking notes right now.
I'm taking notes. Yeah, this was actually a reef.
Was hired by big ship chasing commenters to come in and shame
Gretchen to upgrading a setup I. Need to That's bad.
I'm gonna get like that. I gotta say, Reba followed you
on Twitter for a long time. Anyone who doesn't fall on
Twitter, you're missing out one of easily one of my top,
probably five favorite follows. I freaking love you on Twitter.
You have an incredible presence, I mean.
Like, you're funny, but I just love when you go at people.
Like people are dumb on Twitter and you're very good at going at
the dumb people on Twitter. And I just, that's the key.
It's like pick your battle because I'm as wrong as anybody,
right? I've got like the same rate of
being wrong. But when you when you figure out
like, oh, this dude is definitely wrong and you go
after them, you look way smarter.
So it's really it's just about. That is such good Twitter
advice. That's great advice, that is.
It's it's like they say you don't have to outrun the bear,
you just have to outrun the. Your group.
You don't have to be good, you just have to be not as dubbed as
the sub. It's almost like line shopping,
you know? You're just looking for the very
dumbest takes. That's beautiful.
Madison just got a positive stereo before that successful
run. That was worth nothing.
I'm telling you, dude. We have a We have a pickup slip
tonight where we took the under on his rushing yards.
Before that last run, he had two carries for -1 yards.
So we were looking pretty. Good.
A gorgeous thing to see on your pickup slips here.
Oh my God, that's up to four. Now up to 4.
Hawkinson with with two receptions here is is nice.
That's nice. You guys don't have like an
interior to the half. Their like interior defense is
on IR right now, right? Hawkinson's a good pick.
Yeah. Jefferson rolling here?
Yeah, he used him so underneath last week too, like he.
Had. A low a dot like it seemed like
in a What's the deal with that? Let's talk about that because
I've seen some people in the fantasy community talk about
Hawkinson as being a little bit like a like smoke and mirrors.
With the Vikings, he's been better for fantasy since he went
over the Vikings. His efficiency's been worse.
The past attempt the the a dot, the reception yards per
reception have been lower. The receptions have.
Have skyrocketed, which has been great for anyone in point for
reception league. His target volume has
skyrocketed. We played the over on five
reception series, played 12 games with the Vikings.
He's hit that number or higher. In nine of them, there's a
touchdown for him. There's another one.
Look at that Hawkinson touchdown on his third.
But is there a schematic thing or is there a reason that we're
not seeing like, explosive plays out of him and it's all just
underneath? Is it just Kirk's safety
blanket? Like, what is it about?
It's because it's Jefferson, so the idea behind Hawkinson.
So if you take a look at the a dot splits for Jefferson last
year before and after Hawkinson, his A dot goes way up after
Hawkinson arrives. So Hawkinson is drawing a lot of
this underneath coverage that allows Jefferson to engage those
explosives. And who would you rather have on
your explosives? Hawkinson or Jefferson, right.
That's like a big part of it is that they're using Hawkinson as
a means of creating more explosives overall.
And he and he is an explosive player like he, we saw that with
the Lions. He's great, you know, up the
seam and stuff like that. But because other defenses kind
of know what he can do, they've got the ability to kind of pull
coverage just a little bit away from Jefferson creates a little
bit of extra space downfield. So I think that's a lot of it,
but also I mean they should also just, you know, kind of move
Hawkins in a little bit further down the field and exploit those
matchups a little bit more, right?
Like it's, I think part of it's also just, you know, Nick
Siriani doesn't know Ball. Obviously Kevin O'Connell
doesn't know Ball either. Yeah.
None of these guys, Yeah, none of these guys.
Show me. 1. Do you think we see ever any
shift in the running game usage to where we get Ty Chandler?
I know they brought in Gaskin and what, and they immediately
then let him go. It seems like they're pretty
committed to Madison. They brought him back, though.
Did they bring or Gaskin back again?
Yeah, So they cut him so that he wouldn't get the weak 1 roster
guarantee bonus. It's very brutal, dude.
Yeah. So the.
Rules. My friend, Patrick Laird's best
friend, they did that. I don't think I like the Vikings
anymore. That's.
My friend's friend. That's my friend's.
Friend dude, I thought I was able to talk to Patrick Laird
the other day or not the other day.
It was like in the summer, but like we both went to like the
same business development conference.
I was going to cover it. He was there to do business, but
I was like, hey, you know Pete instead of hey, you're Patrick.
Clair, you're running back. To nothing.
That's great. That's tough for Patrick Laird,
NFL. Yeah.
I assume he handled it with grace.
Yeah. He was like, man, I love Peter,
man. He's so cool.
And I was like, yeah, that's what I've heard, You know, he
was awesome. We talked real estate, like, I
could contribute to that conversation at all.
It was fun, yeah. It does make like it's
embarrassing how well read Patrick Laird is.
He makes me feel very dumb when I talk to him.
I mean, that's how I talk to you, how well read you are.
I come over here like I'm doing coloring books, like, good Lord.
And also like there's a letter on that helmet.
Man, you're good. That's right.
It's like, what were you saying, Pat?
Red, is that he? Because when he's talking to you
guys, it's like, you know. At least with you guys, I'm
like, yeah, I should read more, but I'm like we're like pretty
close in age. Like, you know, you guys had all
this time to read books, but it's like 24 or 25 and he's
coming in at home. Running back that job takes like
a lot of time. Yeah.
It does, I think. I bet he's an audio book guy.
I think that's it. That's yeah that's yeah that's
the only way I can I. Also think he's a guy that's not
reading? He doesn't waste his time on
trivial you know, he's not looking for people to dunk on on
social media like we are. You know, that's, yeah, that's
how he frees up all of. His time?
He doesn't show up to like, mid game podcasts.
Yeah, no, I get it. No, he's in his second REM
cycle, right? Now.
I don't know exactly if this is referencing something Arif, but
Berg wants your thoughts on the new Aquaman trailer.
I just know you're a new Aquaman.
I've actually seen that. It seemed weird.
Are you into Aquaman? No, I've seen the lake trailer
not more than the normal person, I think.
Really, I Super Friends, Aquaman was pretty fun because he was
like the most useless one, right?
Like, I don't think you don't. Have to answer this.
I just thought it was maybe like part of your personal brand,
something I no, I don't have. I don't have a brand that that
touches is in tangent with Aquaman at all.
Jason Mavo is a really good actor, though.
Yeah, OK. All right.
Oh, it just ran on TV, that's why.
My bad. I haven't been watching the
commercials. Literally, yeah.
Swift is getting a lot of carries.
And he's doing all right with them.
But I mean, I'd like to see him get a catch.
We we played the over on the fantasy.
You should play the over on the carries.
This is a lot of work for him. I can't believe Penny hasn't
seen the field yet. It's shocking to me.
They're really just out on him. He's just their 4th running
back. Yeah.
Is the variable he got that like he saw a couple snaps, I want to
say. Yeah, he's been out there.
I saw him on a swing pass. That's why I'm shocked about
Penny. Yeah.
The But sorry, I read back to the the Vikings thing.
Do you do you think Madison, like, actually has a short leash
or is it a long leash this year? I mean, if he doesn't fumble
some more I think, but no, for the most part I I I think that I
mean the Vikings really trust him to get to his reach pretty
quickly. Like, I think that they figure,
you know, there's not going to be a ton of situations where
there's like a hole that he should be taking that he's not
taking. Like, he's pretty good at
figuring out where he needs to be and they trust him in pass
protection. I mean, the Vikings were so
weird about running back pass protection right now that their
third down back is CJ Ham. Like, I don't know if you've
noticed that, but that's. Who it is?
Is that it? I saw it in the data last week
and I was like, what? Why it like is do I put him as
like their third running back? He's her full back.
That's not he's a full back. Yeah, that's it.
Yeah. But he knows past protection
better than any of the other backs and they're like, you
know, what's a back going to do on 3rd down anyway, right?
So yeah, like I think. For fantasy, it's kind of
important that they're out there catching passes for us.
RIP they got they got too many pass catchers.
They don't they don't need ones in the backfield.
I so yeah I think that's part of it is that Madison knows pass
protection. I mean Chandler is like probably
the most talented back on the roster.
Like it's like you know, just in terms of like you know the the
potential that they have and maybe in some situations or just
like you know, hey, it's a 4 minute drill, we'll pull Alexa
and Madison in, but on a 2 minute drill maybe we'll put Ty
Chandler in, right, because you can get more speed and if we
have to dump it off, maybe you can convert it and that'll
actually be useful for us. But yeah, I I I think that I
think that going in the idea was some sort of like 6525, five or
whatever. The rest of that is share, and I
think Madison has just been so reliable at the things that he
does well that he's just grabbing more and more of that
share. When you say the four minute
drills, Madison and the two-minute drills tie because
ties faster, are you implying that it that Alexander Madison
can't run fast enough to get up to the line of scrimmage?
Because that's what I heard. I thought you're saying it would
the clock would expire before his run, right?
Not enough time, Frogs and Radisson to do what he needs to
do. Look, man, he, you know, there
was, there was a run last week. We got a whole 9 yards, man.
It's come on, nine whole yards. I already know what he looks at,
Naja. Harris He's like, oh man, guys,
so explosive. You guys are going to mush this.
I know he's just going to rip off a 45 yard run and like how
star. Pick up.
Yeah. His life, man.
Yeah. It's a good reverse jigs.
I like that. It is.
What's crazy is that he's like in every other way.
He's like actually a really excellent athlete.
Like he just doesn't have long speed, but like he's got
extraordinary burst. I mean I think with his
verticals really good. But he's like a hurdler, right,
Like and he used to do that a lot.
Like in like his his rookie year, he would just hurdle
people all the time. And like man, why can't he get
20 yards if he can hurdle, like can't he get 20 yards.
He's good at all of this other stuff, right?
And he's a great like jump cuts and stuff like that.
But like long speed is not there, acceleration great long
speed not there. I do remember him in in.
In spurts looking awesome as a young guy, a young player and
being like, man, like, I kind of missed on this guy, didn't think
he had this kind of explosiveness.
But yeah, I mean, like, he doesn't seem to have it anymore.
I mean, some dudes, as they get older, it kind of goes too, you
know, he's not like, he's like 30, right?
He's like 25. He's. 25 I don't know if you
know, but he's running back. He's about 26 years old.
We act like they're about ready to go to retirement.
That's true. Look what happened to Dalvin,
right? That is.
Exactly how I treated Dalvin. The chat's starting to get
worried about this Eagles team just running the damn ball,
going full Falcons on us. I've I've heard 20 plus rushing
yards, so I'm not worried at all.
This is great you're you're in Boston Scott getting a lot of
run here Rashad Penny. Not sure if he's on the team.
Maybe didn't show up to the game.
Have not seen him on the screen yet.
I mean, here's the thing people don't understand that we drafted
Penny for when the Eagles are up by 40 points in weeks.
That was the basis. Yeah.
I mean the only thing you could, the only thing you could tell
yourself in week one was they have him inactive because the
third running back boss and Scott plays special teams.
Well, now they have to activate him.
And the third running back who plays special teams is the
second running back in the offense and is playing a lot of
snaps. And trivrashad Betty's still
about playing. That's not good.
That's rough. I mean, it just goes to show you
that you just can't trust fancy guys.
Come on, man. You know what?
You know it was looking bad when we were all really excited that
Rashad Penny didn't get cut over Trey Sermon.
You know that that was when we maybe should have reset
expectations. Yeah, when we were happy about
that. Yeah, this is meaningful to us.
Yeah, right. Yeah.
This could have happened the other way.
Yeah. Arif how?
How good can Jordan Addison be? How hyped are Vikings peeps
getting about him after that that game one pretty, I mean
pretty hyped. I would say that the game one
production is like a little misleading because obviously
it's like 61 yards or something like that 39.
If it came on one play that came as a result of a specific
scheming him up, right, because they had Jefferson running
underneath and then he was able to take advantage of the fact
that the safety pit on Jefferson like every safety should.
And so I don't know how much of that you can use to project
going forward. But I think that fundamentally
from like a skills perspective or a traits perspective, he's
got a lot that you're looking for as a high level player in
the joint practices against starters like I mean technically
the Cardinals have to start some players.
So like the Cardinals and and the Titans you know, he was able
to get open pretty quickly. He was able to, he demonstrated
a lot of body controlled sideline awareness.
So I I like him as a player. I just don't think that the week
one tells us very much about him just because a lot of it came on
one catch and that catch wasn't necessarily a pure expression of
everything that he himself would need to do to be a reliable
starter. But, you know, for the most
part, yeah, I mean, it's pretty good.
I mean, if you take a look at the history of Vikings rookie
receivers, I mean obviously aside from like Randy Moss, they
start slow. Stephan Diggs didn't start the
first four games. Justin Jefferson didn't start
the first two games. Adam Thielen, I guess, was
technically, he was never a rookie, right?
He's on the practice squad, but it took him a while to start,
even though, like, he clearly should have been starting over
like Charles Johnson and Cordero Patterson.
So you know, him starting fast is kind of an anomaly.
Yeah, we got the Eagles putting a drive together, a J.
Brown out of catch. Now Swift brings them into
within the five yard. Line here swifter for A J.
Brown would. Be big.
The Eagles trying to get this more a touchdown.
Is that? Is that what's happening?
And so, and they might even score a touchdown.
That's right. Swift is looking really good for
our over on him. We kind.
Of be rooting for AGB. Yeah.
AGB So we really need, yeah. And we need this touchdown, cuz
we need pass attempts. We need to make these pass
attempts back up. But they're just running it
every play. Yeah, that's what they're good
at. Oh, here comes the tushy pushy.
The tushy. Wish line to the half yard line.
Let's come on the tushy, pushy. That's bad.
Yeah, forget 2 high safeties.
Ban the tushy. Pushy.
Let A.J. Brown take a snap.
Oh my God, it's so obvious. Dude let lift just air up.
Do one of those things where he just jumps Air Jordan style.
There's the tushy Pushy. Oh yeah.
Oh, I thought. He stopped him.
It works every time. I mean, they they got to him
too. They had like two players on
there. Nothing.
Yeah, you hear this guy can squat 600.
I don't know if you've heard. Wait, did they stop?
The guy had heard that Jalen Hurts can squat 600.
That's a lot. You kidding?
Getting hurt that you have you watched?
Us There's a time out before. I knew he was strong.
I didn't realize it was 600. I always hear that about Ron.
No more that he can squat like 600.
So here's a problem with like the the story X player can squat
Y pounds. You don't know what squat it is
right? Like.
Like, you want to know the death?
Yeah, right. OK well so like for example
there's like a story like Steph Curry can can deadlift this much
weight and everyone's like, Oh my God, that's insane.
How can he deadlift that much? And it's a hex deadlift, which I
know are. You making a watch the film case
on. Squat love and Jim, you got a.
You got a squat. Here.
What's a Hex deadlift? No, it's so OK, so the it's so
instead of like a normal like a straight bar, it's it's a bar
that's literally it's a hexagon that goes around and so you step
in in the middle of it and lift it this way.
Which, let me be clear, I can't hex deadlift anything.
Right. OK, look that's not I'm this is
not me flexing on him. This is me saying you can't
compare Steph Curry's deadlift to Draymond Green's.
Deadlift, right? It's like two different, yeah,
yeah, it's a different lift and you've got more support when
you're lifting, so you can lift more.
So I don't know if Jalen Herst 600 pound squat is like the same
as like in offensive lineman's 550 pound squat, but that's the
story they always tell whenever they whenever he does the
quarterback sneaker like, hey, you can squat 600.
That's right. I mean, the way you said that is
like they say it on every broadcast.
I swear I don't, I don't think I've heard that one, which is
there's a lot of those. But they you hear on every
broadcast and I watch a lot of football but.
I like. I like that the Vikings call the
timeout to be like, alright guys, we know they're doing the
tush push. In fact, before we called the
timeout, what are we gonna do to stop it?
Nothing. But it was a good talk.
You know what? Someone tried to palm Hollywood.
It didn't work. They just jump over the line.
Did not work. Look at that.
Yeah, nothing banned the tush pushy throw to A.J.
Brown. They went over, he went under.
I mean, that's, yeah, that's a good little rugby scrum, Arif.
I wanted to get a state of Vikings nation.
With this game, because I was talking to my brother.
Now, we grew up in Delaware, but my brother was born in 89.
So, you know, he's like, what, nine years old when primary
bosses? Yeah, so he, he's a huge Vikings
fan. He's like, he was obsessed with
the Vikings. My apologies for high school and
college. That sucks.
My apologies to your brother. That sucks.
He was listening to Minnesota Vikings like talk radio, like in
the summer. Totally.
Yeah, in Delaware, he. He got on.
Like the the Internet. He used the Internet to listen
to Minnesota Vikings talk radio. That's like, he's stupid.
Dial up Internet. Good Lord.
Yeah, he's hardcore, so you know?
But I was talking to him today and he's like, I'm really
enjoying this college football season, man, you.
Know like. I don't.
Know if I would take this loss all that hard?
Is this how big is this game just for keeping Vikings fans
from lusting after the the college football quarterbacks?
I mean relatively big. I think most Vikings fans expect
them to lose this game, right? So if they come out with a loss,
it's not. It doesn't like.
It probably depends on like how they lose, right?
6:50 is not too bad. That holds.
They're fine. But I think that if they get
like washed by the Eagles in the second-half or something like
that, it'll be easy to check out.
Losing to the Buccaneers is like pretty tough stuff.
That's not great. But yeah, I think, I mean, the
Vikings, they're a team that, like, when they start slow,
there's actually a really good chance they'll Rev up at the
end. And when they start hot, it
means nothing. They're like the only team in
history. They have like 3-5 and oh,
starts that missed the playoffs. Like, that's crazy.
So they're weird. And obviously, like, you know,
analytically, you can't just like look at like a team
identity from like 1998 and be like, that's what they are.
Like, that's what it feels like. I don't know.
I can't. That's, that's what I got.
So again, like, the fundamentals for the Vikings are generally
fine in terms of like yards per player, expected points,
whatever. But obviously, until they can
convert that into something, they're just not an exciting
team to watch. Arif, what were your thoughts
when you saw a few of the Galaxy brain Trade Picasso artists out
there saying if the Vikings star Owen 6, The Jets call them up
and they pry Kirk Cousins away to salvage their Super Bowl
aspirations, what's what's the Arif reaction to that?
Have you talked? To a quarterback, that's insane.
Like, like, OK, no trade clause, right?
Well, there's also the no trade clause.
And yeah, Kirk Cousins specifically chose the Vikings
over The Jets. Like that was like a thing that
he did. But so when Carson Palmer.
But keep in mind that we have thousands of dollars invested in
Garrett Walsen. Do you know how much free fall
that I've drafted? In in light of what you said,
yeah, I love the idea. You're you're right.
But, like, look, so when Carson Palmer was traded midseason to
to the Raiders, I mean, it was a disaster right?
When Josh Freeman signed with the Vikings, part way through,
he played maybe one of the worst games in the history of
football, right? Like I've seen Nathan Peterman
play and Josh Freeman play and I think I'd rather have Nathan
Peterman. Like, let me see Zach Wilson
play, because I mean, OK. That's fair point, but like.
It's hard to come in halfway through the season and know the
playbook. That's like that's.
Zach Wilson, the guy from Amento, is he?
He just has to be that big book every week.
Is that what's happening? What if he just had a big sleeve
of tattoo, that's what. It's all the plays.
Just all the plays, Yeah, that would probably help, honestly.
Yeah, maybe that's what he's doing.
When he runs backwards, he's checking.
The The other problem is The Jets don't have tradable picks,
right? Like that first round pick is
tied up in the conditional and they by NFL rule cannot trade it
even though it is impossible for Aaron Rodgers to meet that
condition. So like they can't trade the 1st
or the 2nd next year. Good luck.
See, I've seen people. See, This is why we have you on
the show. I've seen people be like, oh
they can trade that 2024 first, but you actually know the rules.
They they can't trade it because they.
Can't get by NFL rule. Yeah, we they have to the all of
the. Elements of the condition have
to be concluded for you to satisfy.
I mean for all we know Rogers could dip his toe and invermect
in and come out and play 75% of the snaps and then you know, the
condition gets met, I mean. Yeah, yeah, be fine.
I mean, look, he's he's immunized against injuries,
right? So he'll come out of this
stronger than ever, yeah. Right.
So we can't be sure that that conditions not going to get met.
I mean, it's just immunized Dorif.
Let's let's not get political on this.
Have a few drinks, a few, laughs, man.
I just want to grill. Did he get the jab or not let's
see any other any other Vikings that we we we got a reef here we
got a you know we is there any hope for you know we we already
did the backfield thing to Jordan Addison we got Hawk.
Did you draft any fantasy teams this year?
A Reef? I'm all, I'm all dynasty.
It's which it's tough because I evidently I suck at it.
It's hard. I'm bad at it too.
Yeah, OK. So like I'm in a super flex
dynasty league and I was like, you know, probably doesn't
matter how good of a thrower Justin Fields or Daniel Jones
are, they run. And that is technically that's
true, right. Like I am experiencing the
rushing yards and I it's not helping, it's not getting, it's
not getting me where I need to go.
Yeah, the Bears were pretty disappointing, I have to say.
Like it's just the DJ Moore edition did not seem to to do
anything. Doing nothing, man.
Yeah. Doing nothing.
Yeah, they were. I tried to trade fields in
Dynasty before the season couldn't get anything done and
the ship chasing Dynasty league and literally watched that game
and was like I just lost the future first round of value like
the first round picks worth of value like nobody.
Like, I moved from Trey Lance to Justin Fields this offseason.
But to do that, I had to give up picks.
And I'm just like, fuck, I should just kept Lance.
That's the reaction. Bad.
That's. The I will say this, I am in a I
mean, I'm in two redraft leagues there.
There are two gimmick leagues for my podcast.
We call it the Hell League. Peter, I don't know if you're
familiar with this. It's fifty negative 50 points
for a missed extra point. I have heard of these, yeah.
Why? Well cuz cuz we followed the
Vikings and we figured that given how many games they've
lost because of missed points, we might as well make them very
important. I drafted Justin Tucker in the
first round and let me tell you, man, it's going great.
Has there been any missed extra? One makes the best rule.
There had there have been some missed extra points and then
this year we added a rule where it's it's a point for every yard
on a field goal. But then it's also like minus
like 15 points on a on a on a missed 30 yard or -10 point,
oddly fixated on kicker scoring. Have you met a Vikings fan?
Is it kickers only? Are there other positions?
Yeah, I know you get you. We have a safety position, 2
kickers, a safety and then a normal.
We got quarterback, 2 receivers, 2 running backs.
Yeah, that was. Any rules involving boats in
this league? Yeah.
If, if, if it. Was allowed, Yeah.
If we could have boat fantasy, yeah, 100% of Vikings league
would have that. All right, Arif, sorry.
The people demand this clip be rolled.
I'm sorry, Kicker chasing. It's the show where we chase the
best kickers. The kickers that help you win
championships, the biggest legs, the breaking news.
It's everything you've come to love and know.
The time is now for kicker Jason.
Let's get some fucking kickers. I really get your.
Podcast because you have that bumper.
We play a lot. We have a lot of.
Player, Player was G talked about Justin Tucker.
We got, we got to play one more real quick.
You got to see one more real quick.
Yeah, let me, yeah. This is an honor.
You took him in the first round, I think.
How about That's what ushers us into halftime is that clip we
have multiple kicker clips is what we're.
Saying we have multiple Taker clips, that's what's wrong with
our podcast. That's crazy.
Oh my God. Well, it's a I love though.
I mean, when you keep referencing, it's two kicker,
yeah, it's super kicker. It's super kicker.
Yeah, it's super kicker, right? So I love that you keep.
Saying as a Vikings fan because you're you're you're referencing
both the torture of being a Vikings fan.
Yeah. Which I my both my parents are
from Montana. I grew up a Vikings fan.
My grandpa was a Vikings fan. So that I'm rocking my yeah.
And so obviously and then you're you're talking about the torture
of that, but you're also referencing this MIS kick and
how impactful it is and I mean. Like how can it's just like the
98. Name of my slip stack is wide
left like I. That's I wondered, OK, that team
was so fun. That's why I was 11 years old.
That's when I fell in love with football.
He didn't miss a kick all year. First kicker in NFL history and
then in the NFC championship. They're up 7 about a minute and
a half left. He pushes it wide left.
Falcons go down, score goes to overtime.
It would have put, it would have put the game out of reach.
And you're like, this is locked. And I remember I was already a
frickin nerd at 11. That's my first, like, real
heartbreak as a sports fan. That just killed me.
Well, it's good to have. His heartbreak at 11, I feel
like people have experienced it. Yeah, when he was really
romantic, but really anything. This super Kicker League is.
Blowing my mind. Yeah, so, so because kickers are
such liabilities in this league, right, they miss an extra point
in your loss if you, if you don't start a kicker, if you
don't start both kickers, you forfeit the weak.
So you're required to start the kicker.
And so, like, that's why you draft Justin Tucker in the
first, right. So you have to roster a kicker.
And so it's for me, it's Justin Tucker and Riley Patterson,
right? And and I've got Graham Gano in
the wings. Like it's it's important.
We're gonna know what the wings So everyone else reads like
waiver wire articles and usage trends.
Are you out here looking at like field goal completion
percentage? You're out here.
Are you critiquing forms in the same way you do squat exercises?
Like what? Do we do it out?
Here, I think the league would lose a lot of its magic if I
took kicker seriously. There's no way like I've got
like I've got one. Kicking mechanic take which is
that the the the punter for the Browns Cory Bohorkas is one of
the worst holders in the history of football and that Cade York
never stood a chance. And if you take a look.
At. All the kickers that have kicked
with Cory Bohorkas as a holder, they've had their career worst
year with him as a holder. He's a phenomenal punk.
Yeah, he is. Except for Mason Crosby at his
second worst year because like, he's 50 and so he had like like
a year in like the fucking 70s or something.
That was worse. But but but yeah, and so like.
Not this is kicker chasing, I mean.
I'm glad he yeah. So you gotta follow Cory
Bajorkas and then pick against wherever he's kicking.
That's like, I mean, so he's a great punter.
That's why the Buffalo Bills cut him or traded him to the Brown.
So this is I'm going to say this is kind of not my fault because
when I saw the Bills trade him, I was like why would they trade
This guy is like the third best punter or whatever and some
Bills fan got on my mentions like you've no idea how bad or
older he is. And I was like, that's an insane
take how how hard could holding be?
And then they were like, look it up and I was like.
Why don't they find another holder?
Why is the back of quarterback not holding like?
Ask the 10 minute answer on this question last week.
Arif I I feel like you've looked it up because you're like, I
think I might have a terrible take on my hands.
That was it. But I but I did the work and I
was like, this guy's right. I'm not gonna close the letter
out of this guy. That's what I love about
following you. You do the research like you
come correct. You do not mess around.
Like if you're dunking on someone I know it's right.
Oh my goodness. I don't know anything about
kicking mechanics. I I was shocked when Blair Walsh
like his second year was awful, right, Like you.
You had one of the greatest seasons of kicking history for
the Vikings and then the next year was terrible.
And I just, I was like, I just. I don't know about kickers.
Sure, that's that makes sense to me.
Daniel Carlson When the Viking it cut.
Was that a touchback? I hate that.
Role No, no, no. I hate that role.
I think he. I think he was down.
But that's crazy.
It's this is the case? They're calling down at the half
yard line. Oh.
Thank God Okay. I don't think he was down.
Guys, I just want you to know we're all more of it on base.
Holy crap. That's out.
Fuck. It's a touchback.
That's. Oh God, I thought it was wrong.
It's so dumb. Why would that be a thing?
Oh no. Yeah, it's not.
That's that's a touchback. That is crazy.
Get rid of two high safeties, the tush push and that
touchback. And that rule, it's just the
touchback rule, like bring it out to the 10 or something.
No, like there has to be a level of common sense applied.
Like the the punishment does not fit the crime here.
Hold on. I think it's a touchdown.
I'm just like, that would be hilarious.
No, he doesn't have it, OK? Is the initial rule that the
ball went out of bounds before the pylon, and is it maybe
inconclusive it's not? The fact that we have to parse
this is the reason that the touchback rule is stupid, right?
Like we should be talking about holders right now is what we
should be. Talking, yeah.
I don't have any other holder takes.
OK, but that was great. Everyone's saying Kade York.
You shouldn't have drafted him so high.
This had the other thing, you're going, hey, you can draft the
kicker in the third round. Just make sure he has a holder.
They can hold the guy. Check who his holder is.
Well, I mean, I'm pretty confident Kade York is still
bad, right? It's just.
A lot worse. Because of that is there maybe
is there like a do you think a potential correlation or you
know shower narrative type thing kickers in their holders like
those guys being in lockstep with each other.
Do you think there could be something there?
OK, I have another holder thing. One minute ago I have no for
holder takes I got. Another holder.
It was OK. So I don't know if you remember
Jeff Locke, former punter for the Vikings.
I think he also punted a little bit for the colds.
He's very bad at punting. But he was so committed to, to
being a good holder for. I think it was for Blair Walsh,
for Blair Walsh, maybe Daniel Clarkson, but I think it's Blair
Walsh that he started like practicing his holds everywhere.
And he wanted to get better at holds in tough conditions.
So he would actually practice his holds in the shower and then
he put together like a little TikTok of like, that's a literal
shower narrative, yeah. Yeah, you said you said holders
and showers and I was like Jeff Locke.
I That's the thing I know. And so he's just yeah, that's
incredible. Did.
He leave. Is this the Blair Walsh?
Yeah, I mean, he was objectively a bad punter, too.
So it's like he's not roscriable.
But yeah, I mean, he left. It's so the Vikings.
The Vikings got him because almost entirely because they
were sick of Chris Kluwe, right? Which?
I understand. I like Chris Glui, but I could
see how he robbed rubs a bunch of people the wrong way, right?
Like he a very outspoken punter. He like, you know, he crazy
leftist politics or whatever. Started writing for Deadspin
back when Deadspin was yeah. Yeah, he's doing Deadspin stuff.
He I love him, but like, you know.
People I was reading despin every day back then.
I read all that stuff. He was.
He was great. And and so, you know, the
Vikings were sick of him. And then also like, yeah, he
sued the team, no big deal. But they were like, we gotta get
the opposite of that guy. And so that's kind of what Jeff
Locke was like, very like, he's like he's working on his masters
in economics right wing conservative, knows not to speak
up. You know, it's just the exact
opposite. And it turns out he's just bad
at punting. It was a political thing.
I I'm. Scrapping it to played a role.
I think it was mostly that he knew how to shut up, but I think
I played a role. I asked him.
I was like, hey, so you know, Chris Clewy is kind of like a,
you know, votes Democrat. What's your take there?
And he didn't answer that, He answered.
So they called it a touchback, officially.
Wow, awful rule man. Well, I said the Vikings was
fundamentally good. It's just the turnovers and that
technically. Just that was that was such a
Vikings play. Yeah, it really was.
I hate it. Oh man, they're actually playing
the Eagles tough. And like, I mean, I remember
like, obviously a reef. I mean, we can sit here and talk
about all the bad Vikings moments of the last powerful
long Case Keenum year was fun. You had the Minneapolis miracle.
Then they show up in children. Yeah.
Had that end, I feel like the team that's playing has a role.
In that case, Kingdom story. Right.
That's what I'm playing. Yeah.
So I I think every time I they go back to Philly, I'm like, oh
man, this isn't gonna go well, so.
Political. I think it's because I I do
think there's something about like kickers and punters where
they are just generally bored. Like Laird was telling us, like
he with the kickers on the team, they would just go and use the
indoor practice facility as a chip sing green and they would
just be like chipping after. I think they just have to come
up with random hobbies to fill the time while everyone else is
like watching film. Kluwe is like super into like
Magic the Gathering and and like Warcraft.
I mean, his Twitter handle is at Chris Warcraft, right?
He owns like a comic book store in California, right?
And these are all like things that he after he became a
professional puncher. He's like, I just.
They don't. They don't.
A lot. It's just like, yeah, because
you don't want to. Like you don't want to injure
the leg. There's only so many kicks you
can have in a day. So magic the adding.
I feel like you just workshopped your next long form piece on
Wide Left, and I think it's about holders and political
correlations. Success for punters, yeah?
I think you did, actually. I don't have an editor, so I
might as well who's gonna stop it?
We'll read it. Sign me up the some of the like
some of those stories that you you guys know John Boyce did
like great video work for Expedition.
He has like that series pretty good.
I feel like some of your stories you would just be perfect for
that format like 20 minute YouTube deep dive right there.
I need it or you narrating too. I got that buttery voice.
I think it works. Think.
It works. So he did.
He did do so. It's Dorktown now for Secret
Base and he did do A7 parter on. The Vikings and it was amazing.
It's incredible. I highly recommend I gotta check
that out. So my other team.
US Chris Kluwe. My other team, Arif Cuz I'm a
Seattle guy. My other team's.
Did you see the Long Mariner thing you did as well?
Yeah, all my teams are good enough to get Secret Base.
Seven parts here. Good enough.
That's. Exactly.
Yeah, man, the Vikings are full of insane stories.
Like. So he in the in the 2000s
series, like he was like, hey, so I'm not going to be able to
cover everything that happened in 2005, much less the rest of
the decade. So I'm just going to kind of
skip over a lot of the stuff. He spent like 20 seconds on Love
Boat and then he spent like no time at like he was like, I'm
going to talk about the bike ties ticket scalping scandal.
I'm going to talk about Love Boat.
And that's it. He didn't talk about anything
else that happened in 2005. Whiz Inator just wasn't be gone.
It's an insane year. In fact, College Humor has.
So I don't know if you're familiar with like Raff from
College Humor, but they did like a brief podcast and they they
bring on like one person every every episode from College Humor
is like, hey, tell me like a story that you just want to
tell. And Raff is like, OK, so I'm a
Bears fan, but the the best season in the history of
football. Is the 2005 Minnesota Vikings
because it's so stupid and funny like they trade away Randy Moss,
they get Troy Williamson and that is like 9th on the most
interesting things list that happened that year, right?
Like Fred Smoot gets destroyed by Steve Smith, right?
It just ends his career and and Steve Smith does a love boat
celebration. Like, that was just incredible
stuff, man. So I highly recommend listening
to to Raff talk about the 2005 Vikings.
I don't think anyone tells that story.
Better the Whiz Inator. What was it?
Ontario Smith, right? Yeah, yeah, it was Ontario
Smith. Ontario Smith.
I had a fantasy team name called the Whiz Inator.
Like, I mean that was that was yeah no it's great.
So anyone familiar with the whiz inator.
So first of all, this happened in the Minneapolis airport
bathroom. A long history of great stories
in the Minneapolis area, which, by the way, won an award for how
excellent the bathrooms are. A Cintas Customer Service
Bathroom Excellence Award. I know that because they display
it prominently at the airport. They will let you out.
But Larry Craig got caught there, allegedly cruising.
But yeah, so Ontario Smith needs to pass drug tests, I guess for
whatever reason. Not going to speculate.
And and you know, to do so often you have to pee in a cup and
often you have to do it in front of somebody, making sure they're
not substituting someone else's urine, which pretty common
tactic. So a whizzing.
A substitution one one level up. A whizz inator is a fake penis
that you pull out and and and P and the fake the urine that
you've stored beforehand goes. 61 Yard field goal was just
made. With Jake Elliott, nearly so
many points. Nearly not.
It's not like 2 points. Actually, my podcast producer I
think is Jake Elliott because he whacked me in the other one of
these leagues with Jake Elliott. So.
Let's not get distracted. I need to hear about this fake
penis. Aretha.
I guess. Let's go back.
A fake penis story but yeah you you had it's it already has the
the the swapped out urine the clean urine and and and you just
you and you got a color match. Obviously at the time they sold
a bunch of different models for color matching, but when they
initially released the Wysenator, it only came in white
person, so that was a problem. But but by the time Ontario
Smith purchased this product, they did have one that color
matched him. So but he was caught going
through the airport with a fake penis and the police weren't
like, oh that's a sex toy. They're like, that's for drug
tests. I mean.
That if we want to bring in raised, well-rounded children,
we're going to need wizz, inator, Dicks and all different
races. I think, yeah.
I mean, honestly, I mean that's this is what Martin Luther King
dreamed of. Right.
This is equality. I mean, just fucked up to just
only make it for white Dick, right?
Yeah. That's incredibly fucked up.
Just like, whatever, like like the like when Crayola the
Crayons came out, they had one flesh colored pencil or crayon
and it was white. Yeah, right.
You know, yeah, I remember I was a kid and that that was still
like called like Flash or Skin or something.
And I was like that's not that's not right.
Yeah, I'm like looking like Sienna thinking am I firm is
that? Oh my goodness.
Arif, we're we're gonna have to have you.
Does Minnesota have any other Thursday night games?
Not that we only have to have you on Thursday night, but I do
like you're Minnesota Jackson. Do we?
Does Minnesota have any? I don't think so.
We're going to figure out a way to get crazy flexing rules this
year. So yeah, Minnesota gets good.
At any point, maybe they'll they'll move them.
Well, we're going to flex you back into a ship cast party
because you brought the heat. Let people know wide left.
I will include the link in the show notes and drop it here.
Anything else you want the people to know about here before
we send you off with a beautiful kicker clip?
No. You can follow me at a reef on
NFL on Twitter or X whatever you want to call it at a reef MSN on
Instagram slash threads in case I use that at some point.
A reef dot beastguy dot social on bluesky but mostly wide left
post substack.com. Subscribe, give me money.
I love food. So.
Yes, please. And I mean.
If you you know how they do that Twitter thing where they're
like, hey, if we get 1000 retweets, we'll keep making this
thing bigger. A Reef promised us when he hits
certain substacks, subscriber milestones, his mic will
actually get bigger. So by the next time he comes on
the show, we won't even be able to see his face.
He'll just be peeking over the mic.
It's like Wilson, Here's a throwback.
All right. Without further ado, here we are
gonna play a reef off with one of our most favorite clips
around here. It feels very after Pro right
now. Oh man, a reef was awesome.
Thank you so much a reef for swinging by.
Just dropped his sub stack in the chat again.
It's wide left post.substack.com.
God. Get him back on here soon.
That was always just a pleasure. That was incredible.
But guys we got, we got short time.
We gotta we gotta cuz I mean look I'm checking what we got
going. TJ Hawkinson's looking good.
DE Andre Swift's looking good. The past attempts for Cousins
maybe not looking great. Alexander Madison under looking
great. A.J.
Brown. If this game speeds up a little,
we should be OK for. Cousins, we should be in good
shape, but. Let's get another thing going.
What are we thinking the second-half Scott to to hold for
us here. What do they got on Boston
Scott? Because I like Boston Scott over
rush attempts. God, I like.
That that seems like a nice call there 8 1/2 rush attempt.
This is for the entire. Game Give us that.
Like immediately. Yeah, we're going to throw that
in. Love that.
Yeah, what else? Devante Smith.
Only 25 1/2 more. In on that, I don't know.
Are they winning? Yeah, they are because of the
the. But it's like, it's one catch.
Let's see here anything with Minnesota that we like.
That's a big number for Jefferson, but they're going to
have to throw. I love our closing line value on
Madison here his lines down to 30 1/2.
Right now. Yeah.
And cuz past attempts are actually higher than when we
took them. So yeah, that's, that's
interesting. Good.
That's good. No, no, no.
This is, this is for the full game, right?
27, 1/2, We have it at 38. Oh, completions.
Completions, yeah. Yeah.
Temps right above it 38 Now what about Hertz training with Hertz?
Hertz we have to get at least one on Minnesota side in to to
make the entry valid. So we have one on each side.
Okay. What about Hawk just has
receiving yards I don't really want?
That's a that's kind of a fat number there needing another 30.
Could we take let's? See do you the Osborne only
needs 17 more yards. Addison needs 24 more yards.
It's all. The yards on the receiver we are
going to use. The cousins.
The Cousins free square, by the way.
They Oh, yeah, Let's use the cousin.
Yeah, Yep. We got that one in there.
And then, I mean, I think we just take the Jefferson over,
oh, oh, we what about a J Brown? We do it over yards on him and
he only needs like he's just 17. Yeah, I mean, it does.
It definitely correlates with our other bet.
Or I don't know if you want this more as a hedge.
No, wouldn't be a hedge would be.
I like the swift rush attempt over.
Had 12 in the first half, 18 1/2 for the game.
We did just also take the rush attempt over on Scott.
So that actually does make a lot of sense.
Yeah, I think that's sort of we're betting they kind of we
don't want to do that. Together, look at this Jake
Elliott line. 10 1/2 kicker points.
How is he? Is he at more than four right
now? Yeah, he doesn't currently have
4:00. That's wrong.
He's made two fields, I think. I think the A J Brown over 43
1/2 are seating guards for the game.
Wait, no, Elliott might be a miss.
They they have not updated his last field goal.
You could give the overall the tenant after kicking points and
because he has two kicks made, OK, let's he's got at least 7.
Are we gonna are we gonna try to sneak this one in here?
I think we gotta, we gotta get this one by the goalie for sure.
All right. Are we gonna try to get one more
in here? I would throw the A.J.
Brown on there, but oh, is a missed field goal, negative
points, Anthony says. Elliott missed 1 field goal.
It can't be that many missed points.
It can't be that he's made two field goals and an extra point
and missed a field goal. Oh, negative 50 that.
That's right. It is -50 for.
The month. Oh shit.
They just took the Boston Scott off Come.
On you gotta move quicker. You gotta move quicker.
That one was. Are they watching our stream?
We could. Do you think, do we think
Boston's guy gets more than 60? Well, yeah, yeah.
Take the yards. Take the yards.
He only needs like 17 yards. Yeah, I'm in on that.
They've been running effectively, yeah.
Yes, Joe, do you fire A3? Yeah, you want to fire A3 here.
Don't do the kicker one, because I don't even know if we.
I The kicker one's out. We got Boston, Scott, Devante,
Smith and Kirk. Cousins, he definitely has 2
field goals and an extra point. He's got to be hiring.
Alright, throw throw that in. Throw that out, I think.
That's you're definitely got 7 points here in the box score.
Do it, do it, do it quicker. All right.
Can I get you? Yeah.
Don't hit your prime. Let's get to 20.
Let's do it, yeah. All right.
Fire. Fire it.
All right. We do it 100 here. 100, let's
go. Well, I think the Max is 10
with. The I've hit.
Oh, it's Max. It's Max.
Ten with the special. Oh cuz with the cousins with the
promo. It's the promo.
Yeah, we gotta get. Cousins out.
We gotta get cousins out and do a better one.
Yeah, do do take cousins out and throw in the throw in the real
one. Right.
Hang on. I'm, I am.
I just tossed that one in the chat if you want to tail us with
the promo and then I'll rebuild this without Cousins.
But we need a different Vikings. I say we just go Jefferson over.
He's going to, dude, he fumbled right before half.
He's going to go over. Instead, he's about to go over.
Jefferson over, though, it just bumped to 109.5.
That's a. Lot.
I don't care. He's going to have 700 yards in
the second-half. I.
Don't. Care.
I. Don't care.
Let's just do. 50 All right, there you go.
This is if you ever wanted testimonials on why this is a
good bet, it's. I don't care.
There you go. Just drop we.
Just took 5 overs, 3 receivers and a run.
I'm running back. Yeah, I also.
So later in the show I'm gonna share a link to a Google form.
And we haven't got a chance to set this up yet, but.
Our core I just saw the private chat.
Or you saw the private chat, too, you know?
My God, about the clip. I want to know his response.
Yeah, I was disappointed we weren't going to see his.
Reaction But then. The private chat, he wrote.
My God, private chat. Yeah, sorry.
No, I was explaining. So one of the way.
So tonight we are going to have the giveaway.
We did that on social. We're going to be given $100 in
underdog credits to one of you guys who quote retweeted that.
So we'll do that drawing. Probably in the fourth quarter.
But the other giveaway that we're going to have going weekly
is if we hit our main pick 'em entry, which is our three pick
entry that we initially shared, we're going to give $100 out to
someone who fills out the form that we're going to share here
shortly. Now if we don't hit our pick 'em
entry, that prize is going to roll over to the subsequent
week. So at the very least, we are
always going to be giving away that prize money.
It's just whether that comes in individual bites.
If it's coming in individual drips, guys, it means we are
absolutely crushing our pickups. Otherwise it will roll over each
week and all we're going to need from you guys is your underdog
username and your YouTube username so we can do the
drawings the subsequent week. So later in the show I will
share that form. And and we will get the
giveaways going. We'll get some other stuff going
too. We'll get some merch giveaways.
You guys want some Tumblr glasses, but we'll we'll have
some fun stuff planned this year.
But I think we, I think we got our action in here for the
second-half guys. I think we're good for the
second-half, Pete also told me if we hit the five spot, I have
to put the helmet on. I I.
Did tell you that. I'll commend to that.
I'll commend to that, yes. Not financial advice.
Do your own research. If any time we say fuck it, toss
that guy into the picamentry, it probably means proceed with some
caution. 700 yards in the second-half and we can't figure
out how many points a kicker has scored.
That is a sign that maybe, you know, yeah, you might want to
look into stuff on your own. You know what?
Pat isn't funding this. This is our friends at Underdog
who are who are funding our our giveaways here.
Pat spent all of his disposable income on pizza in Vegas.
He has no more. Just couldn't let me have that
clout. You just had to correct the
chat. Our benefactor here, no.
Yeah. Get out of here.
No shout out to Underdog for making these Thursday Night
Football Watch parties happen. We appreciate them letting us.
Come on these airwaves and drink and talk.
Kickers and punters and squats. Our five pick is looking great.
We got to get a J. Brown in the end zone and we
need a J. Brown.
Swift, Madison and Hawkinson are all looking really, really good.
This is the new one we just did at halftime.
Oh yeah, you're right. Sorry, the initial five pick we
have Madison under. It looks fantastic, right?
They're behind and he's not even close to that number.
You have Hawkinson at 4 receptions trying to get over 5.
You got Swift at 7.3 fancy points, trying to get over 7.95.
Those all feel locked in. We just got to get 10 points out
of A.J. Brown in the second-half.
That's the big one. Cousins past attempts are also
in the balance, but we just thought half time the line is
still like right where we took it at, so they obviously expect
apologies to us on. The Vikings, nations, my
brother, anyone who roots for the Vikings, Jefferson fans.
But that that touchback. Was pretty great for us.
Yeah, touchback. Was.
Yeah, and a J Brown touchdown, like quick touchdown is the nuts
for us, right? Get the ball right back to
Minnesota. Force that.
They're actually kicking off, though, so hopefully Minnesota
comes out throwing, yeah. We need to get Hawkinson over.
We need to get Cousins of pass. As long as they pass, we're
good, yeah. Yeah.
We're also going to have Stephanie swinging by here in a
second. I see some questions in the chat
about Puka and Burning Fab. So we're going to have Stephanie
come by and give us a little recap of how our waiver run went
last night because I know some of you are in just insatiable
for those waiver bid content here.
And Stephanie did a great job leading our waivers yesterday.
She really wow. Like hit it out of the.
Park all in Boots One. Yeah.
No, it was. He was awesome.
Yes. I was amazed cuz I was like,
well we're gonna like we got someone to help us with waivers,
but we're gonna have to like get on the same page.
But. Dude, crushed.
It's been yes. And I believe we didn't start
Penny anywhere, right? Did we?
Do we? Did in one spot where we had to.
Our stat chasing team is starting Petty and Justice Hills
like we do. You're right.
There was a no bubble. That's bad.
That's very bad. Well, if A.J.
Brown scores a. Touchdown scores.
AJ Brown's the only way This is good.
Well, that's what we need. At least it wasn't.
I was tilting so hard on on Sunday because I had this really
nice DFS team. Going in and I had a stack.
I had the Eagle sack and then they immediately had that.
Was it a punt return touchdown or whatever, just like the
special teams touchdown. That like flips the script
against what you need and it just it kills.
It kills. Thank you, Sean.
We just don't know. This could, this could really be
referring to anything, like a lot of things that we don't
know. But I appreciate you, Sean.
It's it's a lot nicer when you tell us.
We don't know when you attach 20.
Yeah. Then I just think you're.
I mean you could be meaning that the meanest way possible.
But you know I think. I think probably he means we
don't know ball that's got that's gotta be it.
Swift. Swift TD is kind of cool.
What? No.
He was pushy. Pushy.
I'm gonna lose. No, no.
We need this for season law. No, this is a Swift TD.
No, you have Swifty lost out. Oh my God, he was nodded.
He was down. He was down.
Come on Swift dude. No, I hate the tushy pushy.
I hate it. I hate it.
Why do you say tushy Pushy. Isn't it just tush?
I call it the. Tushy, pushy.
I have a nine month old Pat. Steph, we just watched the
Tushy. Pushy.
Are you there, Stephanie? I think so.
Can you hear? Me, we, we got you.
We got you. It is, of course, Steph Miller,
the Waiver Queen, the writer of the terrific new newsletter and
weekly roundup. Fabulous.
Steph, how are you doing tonight?
Something is really going on with my sound.
I heard 50 echoes. Uh oh, here.
What do you have? Do you have headphones that
might help? I'll just keep saying tushy,
pushy until you figure it out. Tushy pushy.
Pushy, pushy, pushy. Pushy.
All right, well Steph, why Ben refreshes his drink while Steph
refreshes her audio setup? Pat, when is when is the
walkthrough dropping for for people?
When they refresh their their their feeds.
What? Let me see if you have any
advice. I wanna.
So I'm gonna get it done like probably by 11:00 Pacific Time
maybe. Maybe midnight and then yeah, I
would. I would say is literally as
early as you can get it out. Like throw it out and you should
get it out, throw it out, Yeah. I don't think there's a GTO time
just because people want to consume that for getting ready.
For the week, I'm literally wait, I want to read it right
now. If you send it right now, I'll
leave the stream. I will.
I'll publish it as soon. As it's ready and I'll put it on
the. View as soon as it's ready.
You said it was ready and then you're like, yeah, cuz these
like puka things come up. My my answer to that would be
like. You should just send it and then
you don't have to make the edits because it's already out.
No, I trust me dude. That is the plan.
It's just that if I am still like writing it, like I'm not
writing right, I'm editing it. And so, like, I was annoyed with
the Puku one because I had just recorded the Rams and then I
recorded another game and I had to like go find the Rams thing
and like re record it. This is, we don't record it when
it's several 1000 words long. It's part of the perk of being a
member, dude. You can listen to it for free.
Dude, you serviced the audio listeners better than anyone.
I am gonna put it on the free podcast until like there's a
free preview part of it. I'm gonna put that section on
the free podcast feed as a little teaser.
Everything. You know, marketing, bro.
You know, marketing. I also would just want it.
So our guy Tyler, the the king of Super Chats, he's in Mexico
right now and clearly the Mexico Wi-Fi is struggling because it
accidentally pushed through twice.
So Mexico conspiring for him to see.
That reminds me. So it was like back in high
school, I did not have a smartphone at this time.
This would have been like 2004. I had a flip phone, but one of
my buddies was like the first in our friend group that got a
smartphone that had like the Internet on it, and he went on a
trip to Mexico with his family. And he was just like using the
Internet and he got grounded for like 3 months because his
parents came back and he had like a $3000 phone bill.
And like, you know, this is like right when smartphones are first
out. He's just like, yeah, dude, I'm
just surfing the net. Mexico the whole time.
Oh man, Mexico. Why I even I remember it too,
when you'd go to like an Internet cafe, like back before.
I even had like a laptop when I went on a trip with my parents.
And you know, they they they charge you like 999 an hour to
go, use the Internet at the fucking hotel gift shop.
They get you down in Mexico, man.
Could you imagine being like, our parents?
Like, think about the OK, it's like the Internet revolution.
Like all the sudden, like, there's you got a computer, you
got Internet. You're like figuring out, like,
all this stuff. And then like you also have to
deal with like 13 year old boys now also have access to the
Internet. This seems it would be a real.
It would be a real shift. It really would.
You know guys, the Vikings on 1st down just threw to Alexander
Madison for a completion and about a six yard loss, which is
really good. For us, that's.
What? What we need is a surgical Kirk
Cousins drive here. Just a bunch of three do.
Need them to score 3 yard passes.
They're gonna keep throwing. I mean, we know they're gonna
keep throwing, but we need the drives to stay alive.
That is true, man. Quit throwing to Madison,
though. That's not how you're gonna get
you know what? You're right.
I think I take it back. The five yard loss is.
Is actually not good because they're not going to move the
ball. They're third and 15 now.
Yeah. All right, Stephanie, take two.
Do we got you this time? Uh, oh, it's it's all right,
Steph, you're Steph. Pat, it took, it took Pat like
four years in moving to San Diego to figure out his audio
setup. So you're you're completely
fine. It's good now I don't even know
what. It's OK, Stephanie.
We will do some tech lording and we will, we will huddle and
we'll we'll figure this out here for for future weeks if if we
can't get this figured out here. But meanwhile, the Vikings are
going for and out here. Great.
Yeah, they're punting, man. It's almost like checkdowns to
Alexander Madison aren't the best way to move the football.
They're not GTO, I don't think. Man.
I think so. It's just.
Echoing for stuff. That's the wow.
Nathan knows ball guys. I apologize for saying Scream
checked out to Alexander Matt. I applaud guys.
It was a check down. I need to make an edit to my
previous comment. It was the screen.
You just said it wrong again. The second one wasn't check
down. The first one I think might have
been a screen, but the second one actually wasn't check down.
So yeah, no, I mean Nathan. He's going to Brown here.
Go to Brown. Come on.
You're correcting. I thought he was gonna throw
Brown. I was excited.
It didn't go well. We gotta get.
Yeah, I mean, look, they dropped back to pass there.
We gotta get them pushing this down the field.
Wait, what do we need? We need A.J.
Brown the most. Our halftime bet is our bet.
We need A.J. Brown because A.J.
Brown is, like, the least likely to hit at this point.
Yes, right. So we need it to hit.
Like, that's the by the way, DeAndre Swift did officially hit
even though he didn't score 8 fantasy points, he's cleared by
.05 fantasy points. Wanted that for.
Our. All of our season long bags we
started a lot of DeAndre Swift. Yeah, Gretch, I will say you
were. You were talking about this this
summer and then then ESPN's writing think pieces about the
deep ball being dead. You were ahead of the curve
here, man. I've been writing about it since
2011. I mean, not 2120112011.
Well, there was a period there where you were quite wrong,
2011. I've been writing about this
since you were born, kid. People People are gay.
Wow. That was, hey, the Eagles just
said shut the fuck up. That was a great time.
All right.
Well, Demonte Smith is sweet. That was fun.
That's not sweet at all. That's bad for us.
We knew that well. We did have Demonte in that one.
At least like Cousins is definitely going over.
We just man the A J. Brown bet.
Yeah, come on. We still need a long surgical
drive by the Vikings. Well, maybe the Vikings decided
what I thought, which was that, you know, A J Brown's how they
went deep and they were like, yeah, not.
And then? They're like, sure, yeah.
Devonte Smith's How We Went deep, though.
Who's gonna write? The first thing piece is Devonte
Smith, the new wide receiver one on the Eagles.
They were already itching to ride that.
Gretch is riding it. What's he?
Sorry, What are you. This is so so yeah.
What do you do? I was, I was reading my e-mail
for a minute. What's going on?
You couldn't. I was like Gretch is so focused.
On something that is not, I'm like 3 beers deep and reading
e-mail for some reason. We're live.
We're alive. Steph, do we have you?
I think so. Oh, my goodness.
I was waiting with bated breath. Steph, how are you doing?
I'm pretty good. How are you guys?
We're, you know, we're doing good.
We wish that was an A.J. Brown.
You can't hear us. All right.
Steph, you you can't hear us, all right.
We're going to regroup. We're going to do some test
shows next week. In the in term, we'll get you
all squared away. But we appreciate you trying.
We're going to get this. This is going to be a regular
segment. You're going to come on, you're
going to give us the waiver run down here and we will do some
more tech lording between the next time you come on.
So we appreciate that. Hear you saying any of that.
She can because she has a notion.
I can't. I'm saying this for the
audience. All right, We we gave it a shot.
We will. It is all good.
Steph did later like a Herculean effort.
I don't think people realize like how many leagues we were
in, the amount of communication that goes into tweaking bids,
setting bids. It's that we're in leagues with
Co managers, so there's like it's a lot of leaks.
It's a lot. It's a lot of leaks, but it's
like not just the three of us, like hey, what he has to do
here. It's like there's a million
other considerations and make sure that all the Co managers
get who they're wanting and it's like it's wild.
So stuff, yeah, she's and she's stoked about it and she's like
been super positive and awesome about it And we yeah, we love
having her the deep shot stuff that you were asking about.
I I mean, it's fascinating. What is gonna come like?
I mean, the way that I wrote about it today, I'm concerned
about the rest of the year and like where we go from here.
Cuz like Defense's goal has been to take away explosive plays and
there's like everybody's been talking about it as if they were
just looking for the offenses. Counterpunch.
When's that gonna come? And kind of assuming that it's
going to come, but I feel like week one was a bad data point
that that is going to come. Like I I think that that the I'm
still like regression happens and these things swing back and
I'm hoping that it's still going to swing back.
But sort of. The hypothesis for me right now
is like that. Preventing explosive plays.
Letting teams run, forcing teams to matriculate the ball down the
field, Forcing them like good offenses like the Chiefs.
Into plays like the underneath passes to Cadaris Tony that can
then turn into pick sixes for the defense.
When Cadaris Tony makes a mistake and doesn't catch the
ball, that's the end game. That's how you play defense in
football. And we finally gotten to this
point where like there's evolution to where why would
they go away from that? And it almost looked in week
one. We were all hoping for offenses
to have the counter punch, but almost looked in week one like
defenses. We're like, yeah, I mean, in
2021-2022 we were just starting to figure this out.
But we have more ways to pull levers on, ways that we can play
defense from this philosophy, right, And really force
offenses. The, the, the really fascinating
thing. You look at like the Bills on
Monday Night Football. Josh Allen got frustrated, man.
The ball, the the play where he dropped the snap.
He picks it up and then immediately tries to run.
He runs right into his own pulling.
Tight end and then fumbles again.
There's a bunch of plays where he's, you know, on a scramble
and he's cutting back into the field and taking a hit and and
Sean Mcdermin, it's like, what are you doing?
Like go out of bounds, you know? And so you get offensive players
into fresh. It's tough to be that patient
and go underneath over and over and over again.
It's interesting. You could actually see him not
doing that. You could see him going, no, I'm
gonna take my shot here. And then he was getting picked.
Yeah, right. And he wants to go after it.
But you like. So defenses have kind of figured
out the way that you have to play it until there's like
another rule change or something which and I don't know what that
rule change would be. But that is something that then
if all's done throughout the history of the league is they
have implemented rule changes and really with not really with
this type of stuff. It's more like no, you know,
holding and you know putting your hands on guys.
I'm more, I'm a lot more optimistic than you are, I
think, although you know. Kevin Cole was.
I listened to his recap and he was saying it was like one of
the worst weeks of football for offensive efficiency in like the
last 10 years or something. Like it was a it was a truly
terrible week. One, yeah.
It was one of the, I forget exactly what the stat was, but
it was like, it stood out as like a very It didn't just feel
like a bad week. It was like it was a very bad
week. So it looked terrible when you
watched it. Yeah, it looked terrible.
Yeah. I do think, and I think there
are, there were some rays of sunlight.
The Dolphins there's a good recap.
Sorry I'm blanking on the name Josh, if he's in the chat, can
throw it up cuz he's the one who shared it with me.
But I'm. I threw it in the walk through a
recap from summer sports on Tyreke and how he was moving in
motion and he and McDaniel had him starting.
Like he took a motion that used to start from all the way across
the field and would sort of tip the defense to what was
happening. He's starting, like very quick,
and it's cuz Tyreke's so good at accelerating that he can get up
to full speed on a short motion, as opposed to a long motion
which tips the hand. Oh, Addison.
Wow. So that's good.
Even though I wanted to service the drive, just getting this
game competitive. The default is back, guys.
I don't know if you've heard the default's back.
Would you get the default? Yeah.
Anyway that's that'll be in the walk there and I recommend
checking it out because it was you know he's he's able to
basically like it is a literal counterpunch.
Teams took that away last year. They said that we know how to
stop this now and he changed it and they weren't able to stop it
now maybe they will able to stop it but that's the defense going
to have to react to them. So there's there's little things
we're seeing where I think we are going to see evolution.
I think we are going to see the offense always has the advantage
they know what they're trying to do.
They know where they're going. And so I think the defense is
always just in anything is always on the back foot.
And so I think that because of that fact, eventually the
offense will will get the upper hand again and then the defense
will get the upper hand again and we'll keep doing that.
Yeah, do we take. I mean, no, we didn't.
We didn't. We don't.
We didn't have a single. Our Vikings pass catchers in.
Our entries were Hawkinson and Jefferson.
I think those were the only two. Oh yeah, we took Jefferson
instead of Madison. I will.
I mean, we can. We can.
Victory lap Alexander Madison lower. 48 1/2 rushing yards, 10
rushing yards. I don't.
I don't see him getting there famously.
He's not getting there and Hawkinson's going over.
Cousins is up to 24 attempts. I think he's going over.
We just need A.J. Brown man, and and Swift's
already over. God, we just need A.J.
Brown. Just break one.
Hi, baby. A J.
Brown, Can you imagine the Alicia, I mean, the guy can do
it on one play. You know, we're talking about
winning A5 pick entry on week one of this journey that we're
on. That would be a $2000 entry to
say it. Next start.
That's a nice start. Yeah.
Then we then we just retire. The show just ends.
It's 1. And done.
Run off with all of our weights. We'll see.
When we start drafting
basketball teams, yeah, what do we need for A.J.
Brown? Do you want to pull that up?
We've got, it's like 13.9. He's at 3.2.
We need 10 points. We need about a 30 yard TD.
Yeah. Yeah, it's that we needed that.
We need that to be A.J. Brown.
You need. That to be A.J.
Brown. Right, that was it.
That was the moment, yeah. We've already got 2 greens.
Look at that. You got 2 greens on the right.
What are the 2 Greens? Oh no, Walgreens, Madison.
You can count Madison, I think if you want Hawkinson.
The problem with that Hawkinson line is we need 2.
And the key, they're gonna type it.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think we're good on
that. Scott Concussion.
Is that real? Christy Scott Concussion.
Oh, well, we pulled a lot. We didn't, actually.
Oh, no. We got the fucking rushing
yards. Goddamn it.
I forgot we got the rushing
yards. But that was our halftime thing
Was was it's it's dead. It's dead.
The halftime. We gotta we gotta come up with a
better halftime. We do 5 picks under a timeline.
Right. We might have to just do three
at 1/2 time next week. That might be the maybe not not.
Do a you know, 5 picks for 1000 you know.
Maybe. Hey, we're just trying to just
get a little, yeah, a little wood on the ball.
Yeah. Connection.
We had a single, you know, and really like we were talking
about the halftime if if our if our first picks were looking
bad, but our first picks are looking pretty good.
There's You know what? I like Sue Ann's logic here.
If you wouldn't week one. It's hard to live up to
expectations moving forward. We're sandbagging.
We are sandbagging, baby. We were gonna take the A.J.
Brown under and then we were like, no, no.
Yeah, too easy. I was surprised when Gretch
floated the A.J. Brown over.
I thought he was just fully out on him this year.
Didn't want to draft him. Once it wasn't me, It was fat.
That that came in, he was doing the walkthrough.
He said A J. Brown.
Oh, he's like, that's A J No, fuck, that's the guy.
He was like, this is a game where A J Brown smashes and I
was like every time Pat has Everson, A J Brown smashed.
It's come true. It's never been wrong.
You just take Dallas Goddard for
a J. Brown, Pat.
No, no, it's because I knew A J. Brown was on the right side.
So when he start, when he I could see he was gonna throw
over there and I was like, here we go.
And then it was, yeah. Stick up, yeah.
All right, Tyler. Keep it in your pants, bro.
Yeah, Tyler, keep it in. Damn.
No, I was gonna say keep it in. This guy was exactly like you.
If you're wondering in the chat what what Tyler's like in real
life. Oh my Swift.
That was nice. Is that coming back?
I think it's coming back. Which is OK for her.
Tyler's exactly like you thought he would be in her life.
No, Tyler. You think maybe Tyler's like, in
person. He's kind of like, just like,
you know, playing a little cool. Tyler is more like, he's playing
it cool now. Exactly.
Yeah. He's he's, he's on, he's on 11
at all points. That's his outfit.
He's wearing the palote on his chest and this is this is
probably the best picture I took the whole week at Tyler's ass
meeting. Tom Everett Scott at the party
No. No, no, hang on cuz Tom Everett
Scott came back. He left.
He let he left that room. And then he saw Tyler was like,
oh, I didn't say hi to Tyler. So he like, went back in the
room and shook Tyler's hand. And I was like, what is this
world that we live in? And Scott just came.
Back in the room. To make sure he said hey to
Tyler, I I might have made this joke like 6 times, but I was
making the Michael Scott like you bought women's pants joke to
him a bunch of times. He has no back pockets.
Like, Are you sure those are men's pants?
You know the The Office episode where he's like, no, this is a
men's suit. This is a men's suit.
You tell us, Tyler. You tell us.
That was great. All right.
A.J. Brown, please.
You want to hear our families? The The nice thing about A.J.
Brown is you can always tell who he is on the field.
There's a number down. Oh, it's best.
Was this penal false start on Swift?
That's good. Third and long.
We need that, right? Come on.
What? So what do you like, objectively
say Gainwell's back next week? I don't even know who the Eagles
play like. Swift look good tonight.
Like, what do you think the split is like?
Is it more I mean? Is it just a pain?
Well, you get that. I think it's got a good place
for you. I I called you man before seeing
the the gain while injury. I called his week one usage
noise in the sense that I thought there was basically no
way that he would keep that level of usage going forward.
I thought that was like a really unlikely outcome because he has
multiple talented backs behind him that should get some
chances. They'd already started saying
like, you know, Nick Siriani right away.
Said didn't intend to give Swift only two touches and I think
game was good. There's also the element of.
You look at this offense and it generates really efficient
running back lines. And like he he wasn't actually
that great in week one. He was sub four yards per carry.
The last couple of years he's been like 4.34 point 5, which is
good in most offenses. But he's been in an offense
where, like Miles Sanders has put up a season of like 5.5
yards per carry, 4.8 or whatever.
It is significantly better than what game Wall has put up.
Swift and Penny are guys who are coming from offenses that are
don't have these same built in advantages where you have these
really high rates of design QB rushes and put stress on on the
on the edge rushers to stay outside because it you know the
quarterback can pull and they've run for more yards per carry
than Kane Wells been running for.
And I mean I know yards per carry is like a silly stat but
it is something we're like over a large sample like Jamal
Charles is A5 plus yards per carry guy every year.
Nick Chubb, 5 plus yards per carry.
Sean and I've talked about this and he likes to talk about the
before contact and after contact, but he talks about both
elements of that. And he joked with me the other
day, he's like, part of the reason I do that is like, it
just gets back to yards per carry.
It's before contact, plus after contact is just yards per carry,
right? Like it's the same number like
we're just doing. But like no one likes when you
talk about yards per carry, but there is an element of just like
do you hit the holes until you gain yards anyway, it's it's not
a great stat but I don't know the game walls like a.
Like a legit good running back and I think the guys behind him
are so that's kind of a problem for keeping a really big role.
So anyway, going forward I have it as especially with Swift
looking good. I'm going to write it up next
week as we're going to probably have a split and and I think
long term I think you still feel good if you have Swift.
Yeah, not Penny. Yeah, I think so.
I mean, this week made me feel a lot better for sure.
Yeah the the one thing I want to see way more in like there was
quotes too of how. You know the Eagles said that
they wanted to use Swift, but unlocking the screen game, I
mean they have this incredible offensive line and you get these
guys even game well too. Like I feel like I want to see
these guys get the ball in space.
Like when we watch game well and Swift get rammed up the middle.
It like doesn't make sense to me.
Like it's not playing to these guys as skill set, which makes
the Rashad Penny or even Boston Scott usage even more
befuddling. Like, let those guys get the low
calorie. Touches between the tackles and
then get creative with how you're using gain well and
swift. Yeah, I thought they would have
more of a similar role. I didn't really see gain
well-being like the lead back, right?
You know what I mean? All right, let's do this, Chris
says when Google form, good call.
Let's put the Google Form in here.
So if you're just tuning in now, this Google Form is how we are.
We're going to do the giveaway via Twitter.
That's one's going to be slightly different.
But going forward, the potential rollover giveaway for every week
we are going to have you guys fill this out.
All we need is your underdog username and your YouTube
username here. And if we hit our core, pick
'em. With three picks tonight, we
will do that giveaway first thing next week.
If we don't hit it, then we will roll that over and each
subsequent week the pot will keep getting juiced.
You got to be here watching, you got to be on underdog and we
definitely would love it if you guys were tailing and and
sweating with us, but we just need your underdog username here
in the form and that will get you on the books.
See what Kirk does here on 3rd and four and no dice.
As I hear this is looking, It's looking not.
So he did. He did throw it.
He threw it. But he's looking like he's a
little bit rattled, which Kirk tends to do something.
Just keep checking. It up.
Yes. Be as rattle as you want.
I mean that's just. Going to go away.
That's just that I need to get this ball out before I get hit.
There's a guy right behind Jefferson.
Even if he catches it, that's not a first down.
I mean, you can't throw short of the sticks with a dude right
there to tackle on 3rd down, but that's believe The Jets are
going to take the 1st for this guy.
The Jets are going to be, they're going to wake who?
Who's the GM of the? I mean, not got on the field
like they're up two touchdowns. Just let him do something.
I don't know, man. He must have.
Looked terrible in camp. That's wild.
It's wild, yeah. Pat, what do you think about
this? Cuz one of the things when we
talked about I'm legit curious about this when we talked about
the A.J. Brown thing you've talked about
him being the higher a dot guy and you mentioned Vikings don't
get a great pass rush. You feel good about Brown and
those matchups. What do you think about Devant
to be in Cuz like that's how it was last year.
This is different Devant to a different year right.
It's a different year. Yeah defensive coordinator.
And you know you talked about how these offenses need to find
counter punches maybe this is one of the Eagles counter
punches is that like both these guys can beat you deep now so
deal with that. Yeah, you know this.
I think, like this is, this is different.
Like this is they're using Devante Smith to beat defenses
on these big shots. You've seen it, not just that
touchdown, but earlier in the game, right?
Yeah. I think it makes the Eagles more
dangerous. And Smith's really good.
So it's smart. And then it's a great point.
Yeah, they're putting this on film.
Like, it's gonna be harder to defend them both.
These guys can do it. Now.
I was thinking when I asked the question, have they flipped
roles? But you said it really well.
Like, no, they're now they can both do it.
And yeah, yeah, I don't see why they flip roles because they
want AJ Browns, one of the best deep threats in the game, right.
So yeah. I'd like to see that with my own
two eyes right now. Pat in the form of a 60 yard
touchdown. Me too.
But me too. Well, I will say the other thing
too is you know Penny is a zero. Sorry if you drafted him, Swift
was a zero in week one as well. So the thing with the thing too,
if you if you hang your hat on running back talent and just
getting touches like everything else works itself out.
I I don't really care who is getting 10 plus touches in this
offense. They're going to produce.
It was game while week one. Now it's swift Week 2.
And running back this is nice and it's been yeah it's been one
guy they. Seem to like a one guy for sure.
Yeah, it's kind of interesting that they're doing it like that.
If you have Rashad penny bags, just pretend that he's Jamison
Williams. He's suspended for the six weeks
of the season and you still spend a tenth round pick on him?
Yeah, eventually. There you go.
There's your psychological trick.
Swift does look good. He looks really good.
Swift looks great. He does.
Well, it he looks so good that it makes you question why wasn't
he getting more touches week 1? Yeah, right.
In a game that was close. It's weird, man.
It's almost like Siriani. I mean, not Sidney's a ball.
I would say it's it's almost like Siriani has trouble
evaluating the own running. That's the new ball, doesn't new
ball. I mean, I'm just asking
questions, yeah. Yeah, this is gonna be one of
those vintage 10 minute fucking Eagles drives.
It's just gonna end the game. We're not gonna get any passes.
Kevin Kevin's floating that maybe Penny doesn't know Ball is
that. Is that possible?
Who's gonna have 25 carries by the end of this game?
I do think it like, again, why we're doing the Penny so right
he's calling off this has to be Penny.
So who's he coming? Who's coming in?
Who's coming? In do they have?
Do they have another man? Well, he's on the Ross.
Corey Clement. How is this the cargo?
They flew him in for Thursday night.
I thought he got cut. That's why I picked him, OK?
Penny's got to be on the field, right?
Go for a TD. Penny.
That's got to be Penny. It's it's Penny.
Look how big he is. Yes, that's.
I guess that's so. Penny.
Yes. Score.
Oh, baby. I mean, that's right.
He looks good. That's why we drafted him.
I was going to fire off a take earlier that Rashad Penny's
going to come in in the fourth quarter and get like 2 touches,
but one of them's going to go for an 85 yard touchdown run.
Look at Swift took his helmet off.
He's like, yo, I'm too tired. Let let Penny do it.
He's like, man, it's exhausting bouncing it outside, man.
I got always right there. Like we saw one penny.
Did he just? Drink that.
Get there. No, no, no, no.
Come on. Give Penny one more.
Carrie. Just let him do one more let.
Him do one more baby. He looks fine.
I don't. I mean, you know you can't sell
a lot from 1, Carrie, but he didn't look bad.
I have a lot of penny. Like just Oh no, don't.
Oh yeah, £2.00 throwing a penny. Why did he fall down?
Maybe he's not good anymore. All right, well, he caught a
pass and he got like 10 total yards.
And so, I mean, we got two points out of him.
There you go. That's why he drafted him, OK?
Oh, they're leaving him on the field.
They're letting him cook. Baby.
They're like swift. You got your helmet back.
We're still we're just we're gonna let Penny cook.
Think of that. Sure 5. .7 yards per carry for
his career with the Seahawks. I mean, it was wild.
They got, he was awesome. They got a package.
Amazon Prime had a package of stats for him.
They've been waiting to play it from till he came on the field.
That's the first time they could play it well.
What are you? Gonna tell him that we consulted
with Amazon Prime for their infographics package.
New new theory here, guys. New narrative they're saving.
Penny for the playoff run. Not right now.
They're not salts away this game.
We gotta. Choose our narratives carefully.
What's this narrative based on? They get the false my God, they
got the offside there. How do you jump there?
That's so obvious. End of the quarter, they ran up
to the line to just show something.
They're going to let the quarter run out and the frickin Vikings
jumped. What are you doing?
Yeah, unforced errors. That's bad.
It's a new quarter, so we probably won't see Penny again.
I'm going to use the restroom. No, there's nine seconds left.
No, because the clock starts, I think.
Again. Does it tick him?
Oh, it does tick him. All right.
How you feeling, Pete? I think we're pulling.
This up, I'm feeling like I'm up later than I've been any of the
past three nights. That's the other thing too.
When people complain not about having the Wednesday waiver show
is like you guys would have gotten like a 50 minute show.
Me powering it down, Well waivers process.
See you guys tomorrow and instead you get me drinking
cocktails and you're going to get 3 hour ship chasing here.
So everyone, just sit back and enjoy.
You consider the West Coast? I gotta say, it's nice.
It's 728 right now. Yeah.
Pat I considered it when I was fucking 18 years old and went to
school in San Diego. That's what I considered it.
Yeah, I meant it's great, 10 out of 10.
Have you had a California burrito yet?
Are you still on your tacos? Bullshit.
Still on my tacos. Bullshit.
Dude, go get a California burrito at Ortiz's.
Come on. It is.
It's honestly true, Kevin.
I was like, with my schedule, I'm like, I don't have anything
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights in bed by 9.
I'm I'm, I'm not kidding. I woke up on Tuesday.
And check the box score for the game.
I went to bed before Aaron Rodgers ruptured his Achilles
and I looked at the box score. You know, I have like
notifications and scoring and whatever, but the first thing I
went to is the box score. I was like, I wanna see how this
went down. And I see like.
Zach Wilson is the primary court and my mind, like, was having
such a hard time processing this at like 5:45 AM.
I'm like, what the fuck happened in this game?
Then I immediately go to Breece Han.
I was like, I love to see that. And then I said, your Wilson has
a TD and I'm like, are we good? Are we good?
I was like, there's a 14 1/2 team total for The Jets this
week. We're not good.
Yeah. Is that what it is, 14 1/2?
Yeah, well, it is the Cowboys too, right?
Yeah, it's Cowboys. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, that was
that was a mind blowing experience.
No, this this will be the only island game I stay up for each
week, the Thursday night ones. I feel you, man.
I've been going to bed early out here.
It's nice. Not that early, but you know,
early. You going to bed?
Like what? You go to bed at 11.
It's 2:00 PM two am Yeah, exactly.
That's that's the reallyest I've ever gone, like ever in my.
Like whole life basically. I don't know, maybe like when I
was 9 or whatever. But yeah, I wish 820.
I think 99 AM is a is is a good sweet spot for me. 9:00 PM,
yeah. Pat Pat's not getting up until
five. Pat lives like a fucking did
you? I got up at.
No, I've been getting up around 7:30 out here.
Well, Murphy is what keeps you accountable, right?
Yeah, yeah, I gotta. I gotta wake up.
Actually, Murphy. Murphy.
Like he can hold it for like a crazy long time.
So I don't. But I yeah, I feel like it's
not, you know, just just to get on a schedule.
So he knows I've been trying to get up around 7:30, take him for
a walk and get my day started. It's kind of nice.
It's really nice in the morning here.
So I. Want to be?
Oh, yeah. All right, here we go.
Fourth quarter 2714, can we get some A.J.
Brown points? Come on AJ, man, He catches that
in turns he's gone. You know that incredible.
I did not come back with Nachos chat.
I just came back with a leftover taquito and.
Sour cream? Man, I might have to go do a
snack break. I mean, it's West Coast.
It's it's like dinner time. We're talking.
I mean how you go to the whole team.
Yeah, I found a pizza place out here that's actually really
good. That's what I had today.
Nice. Yeah.
It's a win. You're in New York, guy.
I figured you would have been, like, snobby about the
California pizza. No, I I was.
I was impressed. Me, I'm not like that snobby
about New York pizza. Like, it's like, it's good.
It's a good thing. I like it.
But I like the style, you know, the thin crust and everything.
But I'm not like, the world's expert on New York pizza.
So. Here's the thing, would people
say that stuff about like, New York pizza or I don't know like
pick your flavor of like, this is so good here.
I don't know Buffalo wings, what they're talking about is like
the floor for like random establishments is higher than in
other cities, but like, still really good pizza in San Diego.
It's gonna be fucking really good, right?
It's just saying, like the hole in the wall, like pizza joints
in New York are gonna be, like, better than the hole in the
wall. Pizza joints in Santa for sure.
Yeah, I think that's right. I also think like even that was
a great take. That was a that was a Uno ball
take of. Food.
That was a Uno ball and I. I haven't even been sitting on
that one. I just.
I just came.
But I also think there's a thing of like, like New York does tie
really well. And it's not just it's that.
But it's also like when you go to that tie place that's like
buzzy and everyone's like, you gotta check out this tie place,
the food's gonna be fucking awesome.
Whereas like if you go to a place that's not got such tie,
it might be buzzy because it's like, OK and they haven't had OK
in that town in a while, you know what I'm saying?
So there's like, it's more with something like pizza.
That won't be the case, but with some cuisines you could like
that next level up. There's a big difference too.
Yeah. Well, in San Diego too, it is.
I mean, like a lot of places. I would say Colorado falls into
this umbrella too. I'm sure there's some other
places that where. Even Colorado when I was growing
up and even San Diego when I was there in like 05 to 09, like the
food scene is exponentially better now than it was.
I mean in like the craft brewery scene and the craft distillery
scene in San Diego is. AJ oh.
Yeah, baby. Guys, guys, guys.
There was a fucking flag for holding.
Come on, it was the back judge. That's such bullshit.
The flag came in when he was rolling out and I was like
holding in my head. Fuck, in my head I was like,
that's holding. And then the rest of the play
happens. It was Penny.
It was Penny who did it. He didn't even need to do that.
Caught him, caught him. From all our teams, staff, if
you're watching. The thing about drafting running
backs is you got to draft guys who have opportunity because if
you draft for talent, then they fucking hold and ruin your.
Fucking pick guns. Wow.
Here's the thing. Penny was just trying to move
the yardage back so that the A J touchdown would actually get us
higher. That fucking sucked.
I might. Get you?
I smell overtime from your lips to God's ears.
Again. Again, tackle them.
Come on, that's Pi. Give them a flag.
You don't want π though. I don't know.
But we want that play again. Oh, my God, he's all over.
Look at this. He grabs his shoulder.
Wise. You can't do that.
Oh, on down. Hey, God, that's a good no call.
Otherwise, that's a tushy, pushy guys.
Yeah, we want the call, but it they should have called it, they
should have called it. Exactly.
Hope, nose ball. That's just another tushy, pushy
Joe. We know.
We know on principle I'm upset he's gonna stop A.J.
Brown from catching a TV. Gross.
All right, let's let's look at the here.
Let's pull these up. See how we're doing here?
That was a brutal moment. Those back-to-back plays, I
mean, we just almost got that was it.
They were like, we're gonna get AJ at TD real quick.
Yeah, we did. I thought we fucking did.
What do you mean? The taquito that Chad wants to
know? What'd you say it was?
Yeah, it was a Yeah, it was a taquito.
It's delicious. Fucking great.
We got this really good Mexican spot around here.
It's fucking. Everything is amazing.
I get the nachos, my wife gets the taquitos.
I get the tacos El pastor. If we just have, is that your
wife's taquito? That's her leftover taquito?
I asked her when I was downstairs.
Like, can I eat your leftover taquito?
She was like, God, you just out at your size.
I get the notches. My wife gets sticky.
Now we share the nachos. I get the I get the tacos.
El pasta. Delicious.
Yeah, bro, you can make taquitos at home.
Like, I mean, I can make a lot of things at home, bro.
Jesus, That's what I don't do. Make any event.
Oh, my God. Why do you think I lived in New
York for 10 years? I don't make anything at home.
I eat out out of the house. I mean, and Louise.
Like I love you. Your name's Louise.
I want to eat the taquitos you make.
I don't want to eat the taquitos Ben makes, bro.
Like, I bet you make awesome taquitos.
I'm there. Hang on real quick here.
I'm going to do this is the an unscientific.

Again, that's Gretch 234567. 8 Thanks for servicing the audio
listeners. Like counting out loud 11/12.
13141516 Well, you go to Asia Brown.
Why do they still have the ball? What happened 22230 Did they
call a penalty? 26 I don't know 2728. 29. 3330.
Four, don't distract. Me 35363749. 40. 44454647 we're
getting there 4840. 5051525354. 56 So close there's.
A lot of. Money.
If he died, it's J. Balls.
Nice. Mama.
Congrats, Mama. Fina win.
Mama finally gonna win. I just translated that post.
Congratulations, Jay Balls. You win.
Mama Fina win. Mama Fina win.
Yeah, gay balls. And you win.
Yes, there you go you. Won.
You're telling me. What was it, Mama Fina win?
We gotta tell. Yeah, underdog, who to put the
money in? What account to put the money in
there? Yeah, that's why I just quote
retweeted it. So we had it there.
Jay Balls wins. Yeah.
I'm sorry. It was a big sweat.
I would say it's better than Wheel of Names, honestly.
Like, that's a quick death there, this one.
Everyone got a real sweat there. All right, Gretch is on top of
it. Gretch already has it over.
To you already, Yeah, we're already in.
I already did. I already nail that.
I mean, I'm, I'm like half sober.
So I I was kind of concerned I did that right.
Is that you, Jordan? Are you just hyped on just the
way I did that to you? Thanks, boys.
Oh, my goodness, George. Andy's a YouTube member.
You love to see it. You love to see it.
Yeah. Underdog will be dropping $100
in your account. This is guys.
You realize that Rashad Penny's holding just cost us $2000?
Yep. No, it just cost us sweating
like one point for a J Brad to get after that.
That would have been a brutal, brutal sweat for the rest of the
game. I don't, I don't know if that
would have gotten us the. I don't know if that would have
gotten us higher there. It might not have gotten us
there. Well, let's let's do that three
catches. It's that 3 catches in like the
second working for like first minute of the second quarter.
Why are they running into Alexander Madison?
What's happening? Well, that was a successful run.
I'm super. I'm super into Alexander Madison
having 8 touches for 10 yards right now.
It's just like my favorite thing.
Yeah, we gotta hang our hat on stuff that there's so many
people that wanted to draft Alexander Madison this year.
The whole story about Silva and me getting in a huge argument in
our draft, he really fucking wanted Alexander.
But he he had a thing I was watching one of the ETR things
that he's talking about talent based takes.
I'm like you were in Alexander Madison.
My. Come on, Osborne.
I mean, that's just a brutal drop by Osborne there, that's
you. Catch the ball, bro.
Alright, more plastic temps for Kurt.
That's good. We got to get these pass
attempts up before. He's only at 27.
I still think the A.J. Brown Td's coming.
We If the Vikings score here, the Eagles are going to have
incentive to actually push a little bit.
Yeah, yeah. A score would be big.
Really big. We need a long surgical Dr. I
don't know how many times I can say I got JJ, he's open, all
right, what's that front of the little the little mesh route he
won on that mesh route. Quit, I gotta say for sweat,
sweat equity, the over on 38 pastems is a long one.
So like, yeah, that's a grind. That is a grind.
And also I was really sure that Hawkinson was going to get
there. He got his fourth catch in like
the middle of the second quarter and we have not seen him
catching in the past since that TV we had a refund where a chat
with him. It's true, he hasn't.
He hasn't. He hasn't done it yet.
No. Like sure he was gonna do it.
What happens if someone pushes one of the legs of the pickup?
You you still can win, it just reduces the payout down to
whatever one lasts is I see. Makes sense?
That's a cool way to handle it, yeah, it's.
I mean, it's kind of like part of the participation era.
You know, participation trophy era of America.
You know, just the pusification of America.
You push your is one child. Look what's happened though.
We have gotten very mother of a daughter.
You're a father of a daughter. Yes, I'm not allowed to say
pusification anymore. I did just want to pull up this
comment about KJ Osbourne Drop. Hit them in the worst possible
right there. Oh.
Man. We do.
We're close here, boys. I know, I know.
We're close. You guys are more optimistic
than me. You give it up on Aj's like
Hawkinson 1. The Hawkinson one is is tough.
Hawkinson's gonna get there. We just need a couple catches on
this drive. Viking score.
Eagles just showed last drive. They remember they have A.J.
Brown and that's important. That is important.
That's the first step, man. Penny.
Penny being the guy who held. That that's a real, you know?
Puts us in a tough spot there, you know?
Yeah, that that feels like a mush, you know because we the
whole podcast was was coping with Penny Cope and then he
holds and and it ruins our. Our I don't think AJ Brown's a
big Rashad Penny fan right now. I'll tell you that much.
I don't think so either. Man, what happened to the to the
tackle? Here there's someone good beat.
This made me laugh really hard, me starting Alexander Madison
and fantasy. Oh, it's like I've never seen
that one. This style this style Twitter
post is not my favorite, but when it's making fun of
Alexander Madison, I'm pretty on board with it.
What I do like about it is that in this video it leads you to
ask the question, what did you think was going to happen?
Which is why Over the flames, that's a ramp.
Over the flames, Like, evil? No, that's cardboard, dude.
Look at that thing. That's like, fucking.
There's no chance that thing was gonna hold.
Look at There's no. Chance believe that could be
Cardboard Pat. Knows.
Cardboard guys, trust me, this guy knows cardboard.
I hope that dude is OK. Yeah, I can't believe I set
myself up for that. You know, cardboard?
Bro. That's cardboard, man.
You might think it's plywood, but that's cardboard, bro.
Nothing's changed. I'm watching Ship Chaser and I'm
on my 4th seltzer. It's just Thursday.
I mean that. Yeah, that hit me right in the
heart. I feel good about that.
Nothing's changed for me either. I got a stack of empty beer cans
over here. I'm building pyramids.
My daughters are gonna ask why I drank so many beers last night
in the morning. Gonna be great.
All right. Let's get these past attempts
going all right, there we go. Well, God, he's so good.
He's real. I told you 7 hard yards in the
second-half. Yeah.
Did we get that one? That's the only thing we're
gonna get is Jay Jeff's over, was to think the rest of it do
we get, do we have Devant on that one.
Yeah, but the Boston Scott. We need Jake Elliott.
We need AJ Boston. Scott's out of the game.
Yeah. Yeah, that one's dead.
That we're dust. Jake Elliott's gonna hit,
though. He's at 9 now.
He's about to kick. How to think?
Siriani would rather play a hobbled Boston Scott than
Brashad Penny, though, so maybe there's still a chance.
Yeah, throw it down. That's.
A pass attempt. That's a beautiful pass.
It's not hot. That's what happened.
You've been tied in. I've seen who's 84.
I've seen him be targeted. Like there's Josh Oliver, they
they like to do some of the 210 stuff.
He was getting some buzzing. Cam.
Yeah, he played a little bit last week too.
He's it's just like a situational fucking.
We wanna get him. Well, the situation has been the
second-half of this game. Right.
All right, Kirk's up to, I don't know if this is updated.
I'm seeing 30 right now. That might have been 31 right
there. We're we're definitely live on
the Kirk. I mean we're we're still OK I'm
going to join the optimism side. Yes we need that quick A J.
Brown We need A J. Brown is it.
Ty Chandler says. And let's go.
Let's go. Broke a tackle.
Take notes. Alexander Madison?
Yeah, try to do that one time, please.
This can't. Alexander Madison got the 28
yards rushing. That's the quietest 28 yards
rushing I've ever. Seen this has to be fake.
I'm calling bullshit, Shawn. Send me a screenshot.
Send me a fucking screenshot. Shawn says he has 5% Josh Oliver
and BBF 4. I've called bullshit.
And The thing is, it's such a delicate lie.
Like if you were just poking around, you'd be like I have
23%. We'd all laugh, but 5% is just
believable enough for me to call bullshit.
There's no fucking way Shawn. Yeah, that's a lot.
How many entries did you? 20 entries.
And you have one Josh Oliver, cuz that.
Yeah, that's what it could be, dude.
It's still that's. What it could be?
No. Sean.
Send me some research. Essentially what you're saying,
Pete, is I don't believe this guy's taken Josh Oliver, but he
could have taken Josh Oliver a couple of times and not Max
entered and they're. Like, it's a very delicate lie
and I fell for it. No, Chris, I'm that's even more
delicate 3%, you know I bought 3%, nobody has 3%.
Johnny Munn No, I'm a. Sucker for a delicate lie.
I I'll just tell you that right now.
But it has to be delicate. Oh my goodness.
Open KJ Osbourne. Yeah, there we go.
That's big. Eating 740 left.
That's good for. I think I might have 5% smile,
Sue. And that's not even a lie.
I don't know if it is 5%, but could be.
Pat, remember that time we tried to take Smythe as our 4th tight
end and auto drafted Zeke Elliott instead?
That kind of worked out it. Kind of did, yeah.
All right, you guys like we are. We are still live.
Gretch, you did promise if we hit our our pick him, you're
throwing on the helmet and doing a keg stand.
Is that what you said? If I had a keg, I would do a keg
stand. I I believe you.
I was just as big as a week ago as that and his response was
immediately You don't need to say anymore.
I believe who? Who can bait me?
I got you. Someone get.
Someone tried to get me with a delicate lie.
That's true. You guys are all now just doing
straight out lies. Someone tried to get me with a
real one, 3% Peyton Hendershot. Not buying that.
Someone get me with one that I shouldn't believe.
Well you need 2 truths and a lie.
You need we need like A2 truths and a lie situation.
Well Derek, Derek and the deposit king of discord showed
the receipts. I think he had like 24% Kyle and
Granson and and that was that ended up being real.
I would have assumed that was a not so delicate lie. 7% Jalen
Tolbert. That feels delicate.
That feels like that's a delicate lie.
But it's too high. 7% is too high, no.
Yeah, because you got to take a lot of Jalen.
Tolbert 7% Will Levis. I'll actually buy.
I will. I will buy that.
There's no way. Yeah, 35% back, Jones.
I'll buy. You know people were jamming him
late. Yeah.
Hey buddy, 33% were shot. Petty.
That's just our reality. But that's, yeah, that's called
the portfolio. Yeah, yeah, 4% Will Fuller is a
pretty delicate lie. Yeah, 5% Will equals.
I believe that some of you sickos have been cornering the
market on backup Titans. Quarterbacks might work out for
you. 5% Darna Washington is a delicate truth.
That's a good one. That's a good.
Delicate. That's that's a blunt lie.
Willis that's that's Pat's burner account as 444%.
Robert Woods 54%. Kendra that's that's now that's
just all of us getting very excited 9% Calvin Austin is.
I feel like that's very believable.
Yeah, I can't keep track of these 34% Chase Brown that that
feels believable. He was getting selected.
In almost every draft, I believe Jake on that 122% James Connor.
I just feel sorry about that 4%, Zach Will said.
That's delicate. Almost delicate enough.
No, I don't believe it. That's a lie.
See, here's Derek, Derek, 43% Kyle and Grant said.
Now your number is changing every time, 2% Trey Lance, I
definitely believe. Berto's actually down bad.
He's got this 12% Sony, Michelle.
I believe this someone has 2% I. Believe that shines with the
Raiders. Bro, what if 69% Anita hand
shot? Anita hand shot Pete.
What was what was that episode? Did you did you say dude, it
was? Rico It was like a giveaway or
something and he put Anita Handjob in the chat.
I fell for it. Hook, line, and sticker.
I mean end job. It wasn't just that you fell for
it. You said perfectly like.
That's don't don't twist it, I fall. 2% JJ Taylor if you I
will, I will give you a $50.00 gift card to the store to buy
some ship chasing merch. If you can send me an undoctored
screenshot of 2% JJ Taylor. Man, they're still running Swift
here. Well, their only other option is
Penny. Yeah, man.
I did a wheel spin with all this.
Fascinating. This game has gotten really good
actually. I mean it's it was 27 to 7 at
one point, right? And now we're up to a six point
game. We have the Eagles playing
conservatively, which they probably did a little bit too
much last week. I felt like with the Patriots
and they they're gonna try to run like an 8 minute drive and
end the game. But it's gonna, I mean, if they
give the ball back to Minnesota, running the ball, then start to
win 2827, you don't want to do that.
You need to attack, be taking some shots here to Adrian Brown
specifically to roll the ball to A.J.
Brown is what we're getting at. So we need.
We need. 5 passing attempts, right?
Or 6. He's at 33, yeah, so we need 6.
And it's 6. They're just giving it to Swift
every time. I wish I would have taken.
It hang on. Rush attempts.
Guys, let me paint a story right now.
So Eagles punt. Wait, no.
Viking to the mic. Get in Whisper.
Get closer to the mic. Alright, so it's it's 27. 20
Alright, alright. Hang on, that's Pat.
I'll get closer. Alright, so they're down 6,
right? Eagles punt, Vikings drive down
score, Hawkinson goes. Gets higher, Kirk goes higher.
They Shank, they Shank the extra point and we bring a reef back
on wide left. Then the game goes to overtime.
A J. Brown walk off 50 yard
touchdown. We sweep.
All the pickums on a doink from the Vikings kicker.
It's all coming together. I was pretty out on that story
and then it got real good. Oh yeah.
Don't ever trust me. My story is they always start
slow. They finish strong.
Don't. Shame.
If you're not remembering the the Vikings Kickers day, A.
J Brown Yeah, yeah, we're moving.
I'm. I'm being completely honest.
I didn't try to remember. I honestly didn't care.
I was like, I'm plowing through with this story without today.
Is that how? April was conceived.
Beat the story going. Forward.
Started. No.
Started slow and finish well. It may be maybe as well flowing
forward. Sorry, that's good.
Yeah. Let's not talk about.
Four for 29. AJ Pram.
Wow. DeAndre.
Oh my. DeAndre, I mean.
That's what I'm saying. That's Kenneth Danewell can't do
that. Kenneth Danewell cannot do that.
He's good. DeAndre Swift is electric.
He's he's a lot better like there's a reason that people had
him as the number one running back in in the class ahead of
Jonathan Taylor that year pre draft.
It sucks that he bounced that one outside and took it 40
yards. God, that was a good run.
Look how explode. I mean, this guy, 44, has no
angle on you at that point. You're just too much.
You're too much quicker than him.
Don't say tushy pushy, no. No, you gotta throw this to a J.
It's a tushy. Oh no, If it's a tushy, pushy I,
I'll just close down. The street.
They've never thrown a fade in their lives.
Throw a fade for once Siri on your board is fought.
You know what? They're gonna.
Do throw a fade. It already happened.
We're just waiting for it's already.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna. Go get I'm gonna get a snack if
they touchy, pushy. It's alright.
I'm gonna get some pizza. I'm gonna.
This is leftover. Yeah, there's Begretch is gonna
have to hold down the. I'll hold it down.
I'll start making it like an old fashioned over here.
I'm putting Gretch full screen and he's holding it down.
If we get a tushy, pushy did oh. My God.
Well. Feels a good read on this game,
right? Like a lot of just just didn't
quite work. Read some browse.
That was Pete. That was one of my most fun
times. Randomizer.
Yeah, we did the back-to-back randomizer after dark.
We had a good ass time man. That was so.
That was my birthday. That was fun.
Fucking night. Come on, AJ, At least it wasn't
the tushy Pushy, yeah. It wasn't too.
That's for TD. That's good.
I'm still gonna go get a snack. Guys Swift has 168 rushing yards
and a TD. Wow. 168 rushing yards D Andre
Swift and a touchdown. Could Kenneth Gainwell do that?
Does he have? The ability.
I don't think so. Well, I guess I'm a big screen
here. I can't share my screen, so we
can't do trivia. I'm going to need the chat to
talk to. What are we doing?
Swift's a new game. Well, Swiss game.
Well wishes it was swift. Gain well would have 2:50 and
2:00 hunting some of what Rod smoking lions.
So fucking dumb me. You know we can debate that we
gotta put the helmet on again and do a sporkle.
I can't share the sporkle. I'm not actually active on the
on the one twos on this I don't have do a sporkle.
Pete doesn't trust me. Time to monologue.
What do I mean? What do you want to monologue?
People in my discord were terrified to start Swift.
That's sad. Best Seattle tourist attraction.
I mean, everyone says go to Pike Place Market.
I still think it's a Space Needle, man.
Go up that elevator. You guys have seen the space.
Neil, if you haven't been in at the elevator is like glass
looking outward. So as you're elevating, you're
just watching the city kind of like it's it's a pretty cool
deal. Like you're if you're scared of
heights, you're kind of just seeing the ground get further
away. It's a fun like it was supposed
to be futuristic in the late 60s, but it's still kind of
cool. And in 2023 you get to the top
and the thing rotates and you stand out and you can see over
the whole city. I go to the top of Space Needle,
man. I do it a couple times.
Not a couple times a year. Once every couple of years and
fun time. Kids love it.
What do we got? Yeah, Space Needle.
Rinses. Pike place.
David's got it. He understands.
Pat's in the background. I can hear him opening a beard
kind of talking. But I'm.
I'm big screen, so I can't. You can hear me.
I can hear you. I think they can hear you too.
I can hear you. Ballard Locks are fun.
I'm with you, Paul. I love that Ballard locks.
You get down to the How many Starbucks there suit?
You don't even wanna know. I mean, it's insane.
Every block. My wife loves Starbucks.
I've spent too much time in Starbucks in my life.
It is. Crazy how many Starbucks there
are in Washington. I had to learn to love it for
the longest time. I like, I hated it.
I told my wife I hated it. I was like, no, I don't want to
go Starbucks. But, like, we just always ended
up at Starbucks, obviously. But like, I mean, Starbucks is
kind of kind of dope. I'm not going to lie.
Like, you get a little like, banana bread or something, you
get a little coffee cake. They got good coffee.
That's good stuff. I'm not going to lie.
The wedge, Chris says. The wedge.
If I played Chambers Bay, I did play Chambers Bay.
I shot 100 on the nose. My funny Chambers Bay story is I
made back-to-back birdies at a U.S.
Open course. There's a long par three and I I
hit it onto the fringe and then made this long pot.
He fucking loves bread and Britney's been giving him little
pieces of like pizza crust or something and now he like legit
look at him. He would try to eat this.
I'm like, don't give him the food because then it's gonna
start begging. And this, I mean this is
intense. Was I?
Did I hear that correctly that Gretch said Starbucks has good
coffee? That was the take we got.
How did you? No, I said.
I learned to love Starbucks and I I mentioned their food.
I didn't ever mention their coffee.
It's like acceptable coffee. Stop.
Dude, you can't. Is it in for you?
Go to your. Go to your bed.
They're saying do a sporical.
I mean, I would do a sporical right now I'm in a sporical
mood. Pete.
You wanna? You wanna do a sporical I'll?
Share. It all right.
All. Right.
I gotta find a good one. It's gonna take me a minute,
guys. Oh, I love this.
I went to the site, it's super zoomed in from the last time we
did this on the street and I haven't been a sporical since,
but it's. Like, I had it all like hyper
zoomed in. So Cousins at 35 attempts.
There's a screen at Ted Chandler.
We're getting real close there. We're just not going to get
there with a J Brown everything. Hawkinson's not going to get
there. That's wild.
Jefferson has 10 catches. It's been all Jefferson that
won't share. Man, I can't believe the
Devonta. No, that was a small actually.
So in. We're pivoting.
Devonta Smith was a lot more consistent last year, and as
part of a A, pick him. Right.
He might want the consistency. Yeah.
You want the consistency. Yeah.
But I mean, you were really. Accurate with the past rush
thing and also if Rashad paint is a hold on that plate, we got
the later A.J. Brown catch.
We get there, yeah, yeah, it's all Rashad pennies fall.
Assuming we were. Very relieved to see him on the
field. Guess DeAndre Swift has 170
rushing yards in this. Game Are you serious?
100 I'm. Kidding 170.
Fox So now we really do have to play Mershad Penny.
Yeah. All right, Sporkle, let's go.
I got to find Where's the categories?
Let's see what Murphy will do for pizza Crusting.
Let's go, Hawk. There's So Hawk goes over.
Never in doubt. Cousins just went over.
Cousins just got to 39. Fuck, man.
Fuck A J. Wow, dude A.
JAJ is the one. Roadblock Between Us and
Generational Wealth. Generational wealth.
Whose idea was this? The guy who already has
generational wealth, yeah. Don't say Yeah, like that.
I knew that. Would bug you.
That's what I just went, yeah. That was great.
Don't say Yeah, like that. NFL, what were we doing?
We were doing like, oh, let's go, let's go.
Random NFL quiz. Super Bowl Patriots.
Can you name the facts about the Super Bowl Patriots versus
Falcons? No, no one wants to do that.
That. Sounds 28 to three.
I want to get like. You guys saw in Vegas, I I, I
started leading the little trivia section for a moment and
I was just like, who's the 2009 wide receiver one?
Like, that was the trivia that I was looking at.
I was like, let's go to fantasy wide receiver 115 years ago and
that'll be it's kind of fun. I just oh, yeah, wait, Gretch,
that was literally a week. Ago that you were doing random.
Trivia at the Tequila Bar. There's a Kilo bar.
We had three teams of five. It was great.
We'd do like Antonio Gates. Fucking Tony Gonzalez, trivia.
What was that flag? He.
Fumbled Who is that? Osborne.
Who was that? No, that was Madison.
Second fumble of the game. Remember when a reef was on?
He was like, if he stops fumbling, I only just fumbled
again. Religate Alexander Madison to
the CFL. For real.
These. People are calling them the
Vikings. Rashad Penny.
So look, I mean, I understand the Vikings are out of timeouts
and they could kneel it out offsides on the defense.
Wow. So there's no scenario where A
J. Brown.
I don't think. So I don't think so.
Shit, yeah. Everything else hit How we gonna
get OG, Steven? How we the?
Fuck, are we gonna get OG? I mean it's like Dick missed
extra point. He's not wrong through it.
We had it. Well, the that's Pi, that is
defensive pass interference. That's a takedown.
Look at this. Can't do that.
That's not allowed. That's early.
Can't come over the top of him and knock it away.
It feels like this is Gretchen's first five pick parlay.
Listen, man, I've sweat every five pick parlay like it was my
first five pick parlay. Learn about it.
Learn about. You sweating?
I. Pick parlay.
Danced like no one is watching. First round QB since 1983
Sporkle. That looks good, Michael.
How am I going to find that buddy?
I love that idea all right, Hawkinson is hitting first round
to be since 1980. I just want to say that I I I
was on this game because I'm going to be off a lot of stuff
later. But I I had this one locked in
first round to bees. I'm not fine.
And on the search. Jack's loved it.
Big Cock, Hawk. Hawk, take my cock if you're
injured, otherwise disregard that.
We're coming up on a year anniversary.
Here we go. Here we go.
You ready for this? P Yeah.

Pierre goes on for cold. Steve Johnson.
Was that Steve Johnson there? TV Jump?
No. Who is it?
Is this Terolins? He's bouncing around or sewn?
Yeah, it wasn't. Did they recover the kick?
Oh, they're going to kneel it out.
Ty was in the T. Y.
Oh wow, wow. And I also just learned all I
have to do is last names Bill's wide receiver Lee Evans.
