Welcome to another episode of the Bald Guys on the Bench podcast, with your hosts Graham Cohen and Scott Wasco.
Graham:What's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of the Bald Guys on the Bench. I'm one of your hosts, Graham Cohen. I got my boy, Scott Wasco, over there. It just finished halftime for Monday Night Football. We got a barn burner over here with the Broncos, really, and the Browns Sheesh, Scott, how you doing my friend Dude.
Scott:Monday Night Football. We're about to start another episode. You know what time it is. Let's grab it and crack it, guy. Let's go. Oh, baby you got what I need. But, dude, before we even get into weekends and Thanksgiving and all that stuff, Graham, I think you owe the people a slap to the face.
Graham:Whoa wait, wait what.
Scott:What Remember last week on the episode when you said the Broncos won their first road game? And I questioned you on air. That's what the teleprompters.
Graham:That's what the TV said.
Scott:Nope, nope, nope. You should have done your research before you bring that shit on our podcast. Oh my, that was their third road win of the year, and you should know that, especially since we took the goddamn Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Survivor Week 3, and the Broncos beat them on the road in Tampa. So give the people what they want Smack it up, flip it, rub it down. Oh no, let's go.
Graham:I love how you saved none of this prior to the start of this episode. Duh, you think I'm gonna tell you, alright, I'll give the fans what they want. Duh, you think I'm gonna tell you, alright, I'll give the fans what they want.
Scott:One more what.
Graham:Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's not getting greedy.
Scott:I questioned you twice and you swore by it. So, come on, give me two. Come on, it's for the fans. Thank you, anyhow, now that we got that out of the way. Gee, how was Thanksgiving? You know, did you have some good turkey? What's going on? The look on your face was priceless, by the way, when I brought that up, that was worth not telling you.
Graham:I'd want to say I hate you, but that'd be the farthest from the truth. Uh, I'd want to say I hate you, but that'd be the farthest from the truth. So Well, we started off this episode so excitingly with laughter, a couple slaps on the face that, um, unfortunately, I hate to bring sad news. Thursday, aka Thanksgiving, started off like a regular day. You know, I helped my parents. Well, I helped my mother cook. You know I actually was one of the main people to cook the turkey. She wanted to make sure that you know, after she's gone, that I know how to make my own turkey. I'm like Ma, all right, fine, fine, I'll do the turkey with you. So I made the turkey, I helped with the candied yams, then I helped with some of the sides. We did some like deviled eggs and have you ever had this dip? It's like a cream cheese and olive dip.
Graham:No, yes, I don't know but my family's been making it for 30 years. I mean, it's just basically cream cheese diced up, all the black olives, then you put some like you know salt, pepper, garlic powder, a bunch of different things in there and, um, I don't know, it's a staple in our house. It's delicious, but um, the day was going well watching football. A lot of excitement there in the games. Um had a. Well, I guess it depends upon each family what time they eat dinner, but we usually eat around 4 o'clock. We wanted to make sure that we got it done before the night game the Packers and Miami, so we did it at 4, start grubbing about halfway through the meal.
Graham:I get a text from one of my boys that I used to work with back in LA and um, folks, I last week was at the Monday night chargers game, had a blast with the homies. Um, wish we would've got a dub, but such as life, things happen. But um, after it was over, I hung out with my friends that night and then hung out with them the next day. I was supposed to come back on Tuesday and then my buddies convinced me to stay another night. They're like look, we don't get to hang out very often you should stay, just stay at the hotel another night. I'm like, all right, fine. So we did that and got up on Wednesday and came back, fast forward to that Thursday.
Graham:I get a text from my friend that I worked with at the hotel and he's just like, hey, did you go back home? And then right after that he's just like did you hear about Kyle? And, mind you, I'm at dinner and I know he's working, so, like I text him back, I was like, yeah, I'm at home. I was like, no, what's going on with Kyle? And normally like if we're texting you're gonna respond right away. I mean not like within five seconds, but you would think within 10, 15, 20, 30 seconds. Nothing, five minutes goes by. And now I'm getting a little worried and I'm just like, bro, you're worrying me. I was just like what's going on? And he told me in a text that, um, our boy kyle, the dude that I hung out with literally two days prior from Thanksgiving. The next night on Wednesday, the day that I drove home later that night after work, he got into a motorcycle accident and died.
Scott:So getting that news at dinnertime on Thanksgiving was it was rough, yeah, I called you when I got home from Kristen's parents and I was like you done eating? And you're like, yeah, and you kind of told me real quick, and then your phone started ringing and I'm like, oh my gosh, dude, I just went through it three weeks ago with my boy. You're going through it now.
Announcer:It's.
Scott:Life is short. Yeah, you know.
Graham:I mean, you never know what's going to happen, facts, and you know, as the days have gone on, I mean I'm obviously sad. I've been thinking about him a lot, but the one thing that I'm just saying to myself is I'm just grateful that I had the opportunity to spend that time with him, that I did those last two days and especially stay that extra time. I mean granted, we were only really hanging out for three, maybe four hours Still, but I mean those four hours are. I mean I'm one of the last friends that he hung out with before he died. You know what I mean. Like yeah, he was at work, but work but that's. I mean I don't consider that like having a good time. You know what I mean and um, so I'm just grateful for that.
Graham:And you know it's just been tough getting messages from people that I used to work with and asking me about the situation, and you know, so it's it's been tough. But now I'm just waiting to hear when the wake is and I'm going to go back to California for that and see the other friends and just kind of mourn together. So I'm just waiting to see when that happens. But other than that, the day itself was good. The meal was good, I enjoyed the football games. But besides that one little part with the text, the text message, um, you know, it's just, a life is what it is sometimes. But how was your
Scott:thanksgiving bud kind of puts a damper on things. Obviously, yeah, unfortunately, yeah, yep, um, you know it was a good day. Went to my in-laws, had dinner, then went to my dad's, hung out. Didn't eat two dinners I was like can't eat anymore.
Scott:You know, uh watched the lions game at my in-laws and couldn't believe the end of that game and you know, went to my dad's, hung out, watched a little bit of the cowboys game, then came home and watched the dolphins packers game and you know it's a great day, got to hang out with family all day and, you know, did our thing. But uh, you know, when I got home and called you, finally, and I was just like damn, I felt for you. I'm like god knows, I just went through the same thing with adam a couple weeks ago and I was just like brutal, my heart went out to you. You know, you got to hang out with him the day before. It's like God knows. I mean, I haven't seen Adam in three years, but I've chatted with him via text and stuff.
Scott:And so, you know, the first thing that came to my mind was, you know, it's Thanksgiving. This is Tracy's first Thanksgiving without him. So I literally reached out to her, texted her and was just like, hey, happy Thanksgiving. You know, hope you had as good enough of a day as you could have possibly had. Oh for sure, you know. And she was like thank you, and the whole deal. And you know it's just brutal, dude, it's brutal tough. I mean our boy TP. This is TP's first Thanksgiving without his pops, you know, yeah, so I didn't say anything to him. But you know, we texted all day for Thanksgiving and he seemed like he was having a good day. That's why I didn't want to bring it up, you know.
Scott:But yeah of course it's you know life, bro, it happens quick. Speaking of happening quick let's jump right in God dang, let's go. Baby Lions-Bears. I mean let's just skip everything and let's just fast forward to the last 17 seconds of the game. Bears got the ball Down. Three, 17 seconds in field goal, range timeout in the pocket. Caleb decides he's going to change the play and they only get one playoff and they lose by three. And happening fast. Our boy, what's his name? The bears coach, coach, eber, whatever.
Announcer:Matt Eberflus Matt.
Scott:Eberflus Friday he gone.
Announcer:I mean, I was surprised it took that long.
Graham:Oh, thanks. I mean, this game was just the nail in the coffin, yeah.
Scott:And like we said in other episodes, dude the Bears are like my old Chargers of old, like they just find every different way to lose a football game. I mean the Hail Mary, the block field goal, I mean this you're in field goal range.
Graham:But as a Charger fan, you can't tell me. Or can you tell me? But as a Charger fan, you can't tell me. Or can you tell me? Did your Chargers ever have a season where the amount of things that happened to the Bears this year and how devastating it was happened to the Chargers I mean dude, the way the Bears have lost have just been unexcusable?
Scott:Let me just ask if you remember this game Halloween night in Kansas City, chargers are gonna win. We're on like the five yard line, we're going to, we're down. It's tied 10 seconds left in the game. We're going to kneel it to call timeout with a second left and kick a field goal and the snap is fumbled we lose. So yes, I've dealt with this shit. Okay, don't ask me this bullshit.
Graham:Okay. That's one game, this happened four games in one season.
Scott:Let's go back to whatever goddamn year it was, where we're top five defense, top five offense. Don't get in the playoffs because special teams couldn't block me or you on a field goal or a punt. Okay.
Graham:I'm not saying the Chargers haven't taken their licks, I'm just saying it's been over time.
Scott:The playoff game against you guys in 08, whatever it was, it's tied in the third quarter. I think that was the year when we beat the Colts at home. The Sproles walk-off touchdown in overtime. We're tied with you guys in the third or fourth quarter. You guys are punting to us and our all-pro cornerback that's on the punt return team for blocking, has his back to the ball and it hits him on the helmet. Y'all get the ball.
Scott:Don't talk to me about, oh, the world's smallest violin for Caleb. I suck ass. Williams and the Bears Don't care. I love when other teams have the misery that I've suffered. Okay, all right. 2006, divisional game Chargers are the number one seed. Okay, don't, all right. 2006 divisional game Chargers are the number one seed. Okay, hosting the Patriots we're killing them. Marlon McCree intercepts Tom Brady we're up seven. Marlon McCree decides he's going to run the interception back and boom, somebody punches the ball out. Patriots, get the ball win. So don't talk to me about this shit. Okay, don't talk to me about, oh, the bears, oh, oh, the bears have lost all these games different ways. Oh, yeah, yeah, their fucking cornerback is waving to the fans and gives up a.
Announcer:Okay.
Scott:That's just stupidity, okay, but anyhow, whatever Homeboy's fired, don't care. The only thing from that game that was good. Did you see old ass Keenan Allen break homeboy's ankles on that route? He ran on his old line.
Graham:Yes, I did. Wow, I was like damn old ass still got it route.
Scott:He ran on his old line. Yes, I did. Wow, I was like damn old ass still got it. Did you see what he said in his interview after that game? Because he's a free agent after this year.
Graham:Oh Did you see what he said he likes the sunshine.
Scott:No, he said he's either staying in Chicago or coming back to LA. Oh really, are you guaranteeing yourself that you're going to come back to our team, because I'm pretty sure you didn't take a pay cut and I'm pretty sure we moved on If you're going to go for league minimum?
Graham:yeah, we'll bring you back. Oh, get the bleep out of here. If you had keenan ellen right now, how much happier would you be?
Scott:well, pretty happy now that lad's questionable to play sunday night. So what? Yeah, because he got banged up yesterday after having eight for 115 in the first half, because he's the only person on our team that can catch a goddamn ball. But him and Keenan are the same thing, dude. They're the same position, they're the same player. Yeah, but anyhow.
Graham:They'll find a way.
Scott:Yeah, that would be sick, though Don't tell me I wouldn't be happier than a pig in shit. Oh go, who is that? Let's go. As long as it's not Sutton, I'm happy.
Graham:Why would you say that?
Scott:Because I'm playing your ass in fantasy football and you have Sutton and I'm whipping that ass like I was your father.
Graham:Oh, Marvin Mims Jr, let's go 93 yards to the house.
Scott:Oh, booba, junior, let's go 93 yards to the house. Oh, booba. And the reason I'm happy is there's 11 people left in our survivor league, overall 11 entries, and I have two of them, and this was my second entry. Let's go, let's. But anyhow, enough about the Bears. I mean, can we spend any more time on that organization?
Graham:Hey, they just said Ryan Poles is not being fired, so yeah, Well, what is that His second year?
Scott:No, third.
Announcer:I think Is it is it?
Scott:yeah, I don't think so. Whatever the rumors, though whatever the rumors that I've been seeing is our boy is one of the top names to go there, and please don't do that to yourself, and if you know I'm talking about I'm talking about cliff please don't go there because of the history of him and Caleb Dude, stay where you're at.
Graham:I know, but, bro, it would be nice to have a connection. And you've always said just let me finish what I'm about to say before you freak out. We have said that what's one of our goals? We want to do the rest of our life.
Scott:What's one of the goals we want to do? Go to a different stadium.
Graham:What's one of our goals we want to do the rest of our life? What's one of the goals we want to do? Go to a different stadium. How cool would it be to see a game up at Soldier Field and getting a little hookup from the boy, from the homie.
Scott:It would but I would rather see Cliff go back to college In this college camp in this climate right now?
Scott:Yeah, and maybe I'll take that statement back because of conversations I've had, he said he never wants to go back to college, just because it's a 24-7 job, because you're recruiting and yeah, yeah, but don't go to the bears, dude. You got it made where you're at. You got a, a young quarterback, you got a new owner that everybody wants to come play for. You got a shit ton of money on the cap coming off next year. They're going to fix that O-line. They're going to, dude, don't go. Don't go to the Bears. It's a tough-ass division, dude. You got the Lions they ain't going nowhere. You got the packers they're solid.
Announcer:The vikings ain't going nowhere come on now.
Scott:I mean that's a tough division, and then you got them. No, just don't do it, you know I don't know.
Graham:It's not often that you would say the nfc north is a better division than the nfc east, but right yeah, you ain't wrong.
Scott:But dude, dallas giants game two. You know we joked about it in the episode last week. The nfl put it right in that snooze window after you eat your turkey and everything. But it was a decent game, I. I mean it was what it was. I mean Cowboys dominate, can't get the ball to CeeDee Lamb. I mean dropped three passes in the first half. I mean, I guess, was he trying to be like Quentin Johnson? I mean we haven't even talked. I mean we're not even going to talk about the Monday night game. Actually, we will real quick Because people have been talking to me about it. How do you feel? I feel pretty good. You know, rob and I had a great conversation about it last night.
Scott:Dude, the Chargers were only down one going into the fourth quarter. Yeah, okay, only one. Quinton Johnson catches that third and six pass. He's going for minimum 40. That changes the whole outcome. Yeah, you know, it is what it is. The Ravens are a great offense. Let's don't forget about that. I mean it was cool, it was all good. Was I bummed at the end of the game? Yeah, I was bummed. I was more bummed that Quentin Johnson decided he couldn't catch anything. But you know, it showed us where we are.
Scott:It showed us where we are dude. I mean it's year one of the horrible. Oh no, is that Judy? Can he be any more wide open? Is that Judy?
Announcer:Yeah.
Scott:Oh my God, I just won a parlay, baby.
Graham:But, Did you? I thought you had the under too.
Scott:Yeah, that was a single bet. That's gone. That's way over. But I had an anytime Judy touchdown. Oh, let's go Anyhow.
Graham:For 60 yards. No, 70 yards. Yeah, how can you let him be?
Scott:that wide open. You knew he was going to score against his whole team. That's why I bet it.
Graham:That dude had a five-yard gap. Five yards, number 39. Whoever you are, you suck Jackass.
Scott:But anyhow, it's year one of the Harbaugh regime. I'm stoked. We lost to the Ravens. The only thing that I'm pissed off about is we go up 10-0, dude, then we just went, you know.
Graham:Some of the plays were good plays by them. There were some tough catches.
Scott:I mean you knew they were coming back A hundred percent, a hundred percent. Tough catches. I mean you knew they were coming back A hundred percent, a hundred percent. And you know the fourth down play in Chargers territory that they went for was insane, you know, yeah, and they got it and it is what it is. Oh, he's asking them to boo. Good for him. But anyhow, let's jump right back real quick. Packers-dolphins 2-0-7, 0-8 now in games under 40 degrees, or whatever the stat is. Packers played well, dude. I mean what can you say? I don't know. Jacobs played his ass off Johnny Smith. I mean good God, dude, has there ever been a fantasy football free agent that you've picked up in your life that is helping your team as much as he's helping our team that we co-manage together?
Graham:Yeah, last year when I picked up Kyron Williams in week three. Okay.
Scott:Whatever, same Dude, dude. This guy is just balling.
Announcer:It's amazing.
Scott:No, you're right, it's amazing. You're right, it's amazing. But this is going to be a fun topic because Black Friday football Chiefs Raiders. You know why on earth did the NFL have this game start at 3 o'clock in the afternoon? Like, don't they understand? What do people like to do on Black Friday? Go shopping. You know it's noon, your time.
Graham:Yeah, I mean, I get that.
Scott:But society has changed. I know it's all online and shit.
Graham:Everyone's shopping online.
Announcer:They're not going to the.
Graham:Blockbuster or Doorbuster deals or whatever they're called. Yeah, I mean, but still.
Scott:It's not like how it was 20 years ago.
Announcer:Three o'clock. I don't disagree with you.
Scott:Can we put it at six or seven?
Scott:Yeah or seven yeah you know, but dude, great game raiders were dominating, all of a sudden, homeboy can't make a field goal. I mean, dude, raiders had to lead late in the fourth and the chiefs go down score raiders are driving and here we go, dude, here comes the refs hoping out the chiefs again and, dude, they're in field goal range. O'connell, o'donnell, whatever the fuck his name is, isn't ready for the snap. They snap the ball. The ref at the top of the screen calls false start, which would blow the play dead. Then they huddle up together. Then they call oh, who's that? Then they call whatever illegal formation, yada, yada, yada, which doesn't blow the play dead.
Scott:The Chiefs get the ball Game over, the Broncos get, or the Chiefs get the ball Game over. It's one of those weird-ass things that happens again. You know, whatever it is what it is, the Chiefs are the luckiest team in football right now and let all this luck keep bailing them out. You know, one point loss, or whatever it was, two point loss, whatever it was, dude, it is what it is. Raiders should have won that game.
Graham:I mean one, you're not wrong. Two, what do we always say? Quit beating a dead horse. Oh my lord, that was almost. I'm like Bo Nix, where are you throwing that ball? Oh my god. Yeah sorry, I got off topic. You know beating the dead horse, these refs, I just don't know. Yeah, sorry.
Announcer:I got off topic, you know beating the dead horse these refs I just don't know.
Graham:I mean there's, it's. I mean we talked about it before. I mean now it's like do we have to resurface the conversation of do we need full-time refs? And then, to be honest, at this point I don't even think we need the full-time refs. I just think, remember when they challenged, when coaches challenged, you know it would go to the head office in New York. I really think there needs to be one person at each game. That's like watching everything from the sky and if something happens, the ref can just call up or they can call down to him and be like yo bro, that ain't it.
Graham:I mean I don't want to say you're taking away from the natural. I don't want to say this you're taken away from the, the, how the game was originally played. But it's just like in this day and age things are so different than how the game was played 10 years, 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago that it's just like it's a much faster game. So much more is going on, there's so much more that you have to see and look, we're not saying put a chip in the, in the ball. We're not saying any of that, but like there's certain plays where it's just like how'd you miss that face mask call? How'd you miss this call how and like, and they're on plays that would literally change the game, and when it seems like they're more one-sided than the other, it's just like how, as a fan, are you supposed to continue?
Graham:to take it and slap it in the face. But the thing is the NFL knows we're still going to watch, we're still going to cheer for our team, nothing's going to change. We're just going to be angry but we're not going anywhere and that's the killer of the whole thing. It sucks we. You know this pisses us off and I feel like you do want to help the situation. But this is more of an owner's thing than it is the Roger Goodell thing. Like the owners have to agree to change the laws. So I don't know if fans have to not boycott but, you know, be more proactive in verbalizing their opinions. But like something has to happen.
Scott:Yeah, nobody's going to boycott. We know that Because everybody loves the game. So just to get it right, what I was saying is false start on the Raiders, which means dead ball. The play is negated. Ref's huddle, actually illegal. Shifts to the fumble we blew dead, actually counts now Chiefs football game over, but I don't know.
Graham:So the guy looking at it from down the line Right.
Scott:He's the one that calls the false start. He's the dude at the top of the screen when you're watching the play. He's the one that comes doing this False start. Whatever, whatever, whatever. Speaking of beating a dead horse, georgia Tech rivalry week starts off Friday night. Georgia's getting beat and then tied up late, and then we go to overtime, and then by overtime I really mean eight overtimes, which is literally a crock of shit, because we all know after the second overtime, it just literally becomes a two point conversion for both teams, and they consider that an overtime.
Graham:Has to change back Dude.
Scott:Not saying it wasn't exciting, Not saying I wasn't glued to the TV, but as I was talking to my dad, texting him back and forth watching the game, he goes. This is so dumb. Might as well have a field goal kicking contest. Yeah, it's the same thing in regular season hockey, Like after the first overtime it goes to a shootout. That's a special. That's like a. That's not real hockey where it's three. You know it's a special. This is dumb. It's a special.
Graham:This is dumb. It's got to change.
Scott:Just go back five yards every time it was fun, I mean it was exciting. Georgia, obviously with the win, goes to the SEC championship. But I don't know, I don't even know, dude, I don't even know what to say but that's got to change too.
Graham:Well, I mean it's a good thing they got that dub, because all the teams that lost, all the high-ranked teams that lost, can you imagine if they would have lost that game?
Scott:So it would have been Texas and who I don't even know who would have gotten in if they lost. I have no idea.
Graham:Maybe Bama.
Scott:Yeah, or Tennessee, maybe I don't know, but let's go right into it, dude. Saturday college football the game, the biggest rivalry in college football. Can you please stop scratching your nipples?
Graham:I'm not scratching my nipples, I mean god damn.
Scott:Thank god, none of our viewers can see this shit on YouTube. Oh my god, I mean, dude, are you like a cat with some issues? Like you keep scratching your belly and if you edit this out, I'm going to be so pissed.
Announcer:Oh, it's getting edited?
Scott:No, it ain't, but anyhow, you know we talked about it last week. You know Michigan's getting edited? No, it ain't, but anyhow, we talked about it last week. Michigan at Ohio State. You and I were talking oh, dude, take Ohio State laying 19 and a half, michigan's got no chance. Loveland ain't playing, johnson ain't playing. Two of Michigan's first-round draft picks, loveland and Johnson aren't playing, right, dude, ohio State, this is their deal, right? I mean, well, that's why they play the game. And, dude, ryan Day, you're terrible, bro.
Scott:Chip Kelly, y'all called the worst offensive game I've ever seen, and Buckeye and I talked about it yesterday. Dude, michigan's the second-best corner in the draft. Johnson is out and y'all stick to the running the ball game. Plan their drive at the end of the first half when they go boom, boom, boom, boom all the way down the field, even though the touchdown they scored should have been offensive pass interference was what they should have come out and done in the second half. But you don't Right? Yeah, and dude, you just kept letting Michigan hang around. Your field goal kicker only missed one all year. Decides he's going to miss two in the first half. You keep giving Michigan momentum and they're believing in themselves. And you know this quarterback that they got in the transfer portal, howard, that's calling the Big Ten soft and this, and that I'm pretty sure he got his bell rung in the first half and, pretty shocked, he came back and scored on the victory formation last play against Indiana last week. And then, you know, after the game he's on the sideline and he acts like he's putting a cigarette out on the bottom of his shoe and this and that.
Scott:Well, guess what, bro Karma, happens. And those picks you were throwing, yeah, buddy, yeah karma, it happened. Just imagine being those eight dudes from ohio state that didn't go into the draft because they said they wanted to come back and beat michigan and they didn't. And now guess what? They're Owen, for me. I mean, ohio state spent 20 mil in the NIL. How'd that work out? Yeah, you're going to go in the playoffs, whatever, but you still lost to the team from up North, cause we all know you don't like to call Michigan. You call them the team from up North. Guess what? Yeah, lost to him. Just saying, I mean, here's a fun one for you, dude.
Scott:Ryan Day versus Michigan is 1-4. Ryan Day versus the rest of the Big Ten is 44-1. Hail to the victors. Hail to the victors. And like Rich Eisen was singing last night on the NFL Network because he went to Michigan and Adam Scheffler, they were all going back and forth Rich Eisen was talking shit about the scarlet and gray and this and that and the horseshoe and how they cross out every M in the stadium for that week. It's good to be a Michigan Wolverine. It's good to be a Michigan Wolverine. Suck it, buckeyes. O-h, o-h, suck these yeah.
Graham:But yeah, but well, you know who is playing in the Big Ten Championship. Your boys, dude, thanks to that Buckeye loss.
Scott:Dude, y'all beat Maryland, you're in. Did you see the controversy at the end of your game, though? Have you seen? It no you guys scored a touchdown on the last play of the game when you were up a million to nothing, or what a little. And at the 50, when the coaches were shaking hands, the maryland coach like started talking shit to your coach and your coach is like bro, these are four string guys. They ain't played in a game all year. Let them score Right. Oh, kill Sutton. Oh, let's go.
Graham:But hey, it's not an 80-yard touchdown, but I'll take it, Sutton hey.
Scott:Penn State going to play Oregon. I think the Big Ten Championship's in Indianapolis right at the Colts' place Sounds about Oregon. I think the Big Ten Championship's in Indianapolis right At the Colts place Sounds about right. I'm pretty sure. But yeah, dude brawl breaks out.
Graham:I forgot to check the line.
Scott:It's three. I told you the other night. Still, yeah, after the game Michigan and Ohio State, the Michigan guys try to plant the flag, you know, and then the whole brawl breaks out, and and then the whole brawl breaks out and that linebacker guy from Ohio State that's one of the seniors that is 0-4, starts, you know, crying and bitching, brawl breaks out, pepper spray, the whole deal. You know. Here's the thing. You don't want the flag planted, win.
Graham:I get that, but you do have to admit that by doing that.
Scott:Time out Nobody bitched and moaned, and Michigan didn't try to fight Texas when Texas came into the big house and whooped Michigan's ass and planted their flag. Okay, you're in the biggest rivalry in college football. Okay, should they not have tried to plant the flag? I agree, probably not. But you know what? You probably should have shown the same amount of fight in the game as you did when they were trying to plant the flag. If a team that's a 20-point underdog plus 900 money line favorite whips your ass, the last thing I'd be worried about is that goddamn flag being planted at my 50-yard line. I'd be walking my ass back to the locker room because your team's going to the college football playoffs and figuring out why you sucked ass and why you let a walk-on quarterback that beat cancer two years ago whip your ass at home. That's what I'd be more worried about.
Graham:You'd be out there fighting.
Scott:don't lie, I'm just saying yeah, that's what I thought. I'm just saying. I'm just saying A team missing two of their best three players just came into your house and beat it.
Graham:It's good, I get it.
Scott:To be a Michigan Wolverine. That's four in a row. And you know what the best part is? We just got the number one overall quarterback to flip his commitment to LSU and go to Michigan. He's going to be a starter year one. Ryan Day is getting fired unless they win the national championship. You know how many commitments are going to flip from Ohio State. Y'all ain't winning next year either. How many commitments are going to flip from Ohio State Y'all ain't winning next year either. So that's going to be five, and probably the year after that that's going to be six. So let's go. Let's go. I mean, I'm not wrong, I know. Just go ahead and say it.
Announcer:We'll leave it at that.
Scott:Yeah, anyhow, we'll leave it at that. Dude, speaking on the flag 50-yard line thing, you kind of brought it up After Texas won. Texas was trying to do it and their head coach stopped them. Unc, nc State they got into a brawl after the game Virginia, virginia Tech it was like the day of the planting the flag on the 50.
Graham:I mean, I get why teams do that, but it's just so disrespectful.
Scott:Dude. It all started with Baker Mayfield when he walked into the Horseshoe, ohio State, whipped their ass and he planted it.
Graham:Yeah, but I also thought there was some stuff back when the USC in Texas, like way back in the day.
Scott:Baker started the trend again. Yeah yeah, but once again, everybody calling out Michigan, nobody called out Texas for doing it. That's because Michigan took their loss on the chin and went back to the locker room. They're not that classless organization in Columbus that tries to run up the score on Indiana when they're in victory formation. You know, pay them for the pizza, bro.
Graham:Pay him for the pizza Pay him for the pizza. You know what? I'm not going to poke any holes into that balloon, so we'll just let that slide.
Scott:Poke it, bro. Poke it, I mean Anyhow, poke it, I mean anyhow love it.
Graham:It was a great day to be a Tony Waugh and a Scotty Waugh. I'll remember that next year when Indiana goes to Michigan and beats you guys when you're favored. That ain't happening.
Scott:That ain't happening. Anyhow, let's jump in, dude NFL Sunday, and let's just kick it off with your game. Steelers-bengals, steelers on the road, weren't y'all on the road?
Graham:Yes, sir Cincy.
Scott:Getting three. Don't get it. But, I understand you know Cin, since he's looked tough on offense.
Graham:Since he is tough they can't stop a wet paper napkin right now. That's the problem.
Scott:Dude Russ had a game. Didn't y'all start off trailing though?
Graham:Yeah, because Russ threw a pick, pick, six, that's what it was because the defender basically grabbed pickens helmet and threw him down get no defensive pass, interference call and just dude picks and took it to the house. I mean, it was from the 20 yard line. So we start oh and seven. And because our games start at the same time and we don't usually text each other during our own games. I almost wanted to text you, just to be like ha-ha MF-er. I set my alarm and got up and watched every second of the game.
Graham:Love it so suck it Love it, although I showed it as a real fan.
Scott:Why is Denver going for this?
Graham:on fourth and two they're trying to get them off sides.
Announcer:They're going to kick a field goal.
Scott:Yeah, they are so yeah, here's a fun stat for you, though, and I don't even know if you know this. Russ had a game right. I mean, what did he throw for? I don't even know A lot, a shit ton Over 400. Okay In the game. Okay, russ threw the ball. Ten players for you guys had a reception. Yeah, do you know who didn't?
Graham:Get a reception. Yeah, yeah, mike Williams.
Scott:I know he didn't even have a target. Yeah, yeah, I was like what?
Graham:That's crazy.
Graham:Well, it's him and Calvin Austin. They're playing the same spot and they like what Calvin Austin is doing. I mean, he's had that touchdown on that seam route, yeah, but he's done now. And then you get wrecked. Well, he got hit, yeah, but he's down now, didn't he get wrecked? Well, he got hit, but yeah, he's in concussion protocol. You know, our fourth, fifth string guy Skoranek got a catch. A lot of people stepped up. Look, coming into this game. I knew Cincinnati was going to throw it all over the yard. They definitely did. We did a pretty good job of holding Jamar Chase, but when you got one stud on one side, folks don't forget T Higgins is no slouch.
Scott:He's no lunch meat. They got the best one too, I would say.
Announcer:Yeah.
Graham:It's hard to argue. The Tyreek Waddle last year I mean for this year I would say it's man. Look, t Higgins had some plays on us. He had that long touchdown. Like I said, I knew it was going to be a dogfight. I knew it was going to be back and forth, and especially with that pick six to start the game off. But Russ was like yo, no worries, shake it off, just dink and dunk down the field Made some good plays.
Graham:Y'all had to pick six. Yeah, we had a strip sack that we picked up and ran back for a touchdown. Yeah, rookie, right Rookie. Yeah, peyton Wilson Bro.
Scott:Yesterday was the day for rookies scoring touchdowns on defense.
Graham:Bro. Thank God teams were concerned about his knee coming out of NC State because if there wasn't, he would have gone in the first round. He's already playing starter snaps for us. He played most of the game and, honestly, the way he's been playing I mean knock on wood unbelievable.
Scott:He's making plays dude.
Graham:And, like I was saying, coming into this game, I knew they were going to score. I just wanted to know what type of offense, like what, were we going to do? Are we going to try to do a shootout with them? Are we going to try to play tough defense and just grind out the clock and run the ball and look? Offensive coordinator was just like hey bro I got us just plotting.
Graham:Nausea had a good game. Pickens had a good game. Fire move stepped up when need to step up. Calvin austin stepped up when he just stepped up. The defense stepped up when they needed to step up and look the I almost said the chargers we should have that myself.
Scott:We should have bet that over nine and a half, by the way.
Graham:Yeah right, 18 points, dude. The Steelers haven't scored more than 40 points since 2019. The last year, that's what you and I were talking about.
Scott:Saturday night before the game you were like. I know the Bengals are going to score. Can we keep up Right and I showed you can.
Graham:And it was, you know, for someone that is a real fan. Sometimes you can cloud your judgment on how good you think your team is. You know what I'm trying to say? Yeah, yeah.
Graham:And it's just like yes, we've been winning games. Yes, you know we've had tough matchups games. Yes, we've had tough matchups, but it's just like each game that we've played, won or lost. We've just found ways to get the dub right. If it's going to be like how it was against the Ravens yeah, we didn't score any touchdowns and you lit me up I didn't light you up Well, not me, but it's just the team because you can't win games if you don't throw touchdowns right.
Graham:You have to capitalize, and I agree with you, and it's just like watching this game against cincinnati just gave me the confidence to be like okay yeah, yeah, I mean, I had hope already, but it's just like I felt like the games, all our games, were going to be close dog fights and it's going to be who's going to make the right play at the right time for us to get the dub. Watching that game, it gave me confidence to be like all right, we could go up against a Chiefs which, by the way, we will in four weeks.
Announcer:Or it will give us confidence against the Eagles. Look at this. Brown's going four on fourth.
Scott:And he got it. But you're not wrong, dude, I told, I told kellen yesterday and I told rob I didn't see any of your game. I just you know, because the charters and we're playing the same time yeah and you know, you guys ended up winning by six or whatever it was.
Graham:I mean, the game was yeah, they came back at the end the game was not as close as the score indicated no they got that last second garbage time touchdown.
Scott:And I told kellen and I told rob last night I'm like if y'all ever admit this to graham, I will kick both of you square in the nuts. Yes, and rob was like what? And I dude the Steelers look good today they scored some points. And Rob was like I'll never give that black and gold flag wearing any kind of credit. And I'm like love it.
Announcer:And.
Scott:Kellan was dying. All right, rob, I'll remember that. Yeah, it was hilarious. Because you know, rob, let's just jump right into it. Enough on your game. We're going to skip the Trevor Lawrence. We'll talk about that in a minute. We'll jump right into the Chargers-Falcons. You know Chargers going on the road short week, early game time. You know it was a brutal scheduling scenario for us Falcons coming off a bye, I thought we were going to lose. You know we didn't score a touchdown on offense, bro. We did not score a touchdown on offense. We got lucky.
Scott:Sung Won, ku Sue Blue, whatever his name is kicker for the Falcons. That used to be a charger that single-handedly lost us three games. When our first year in the soccer stadium that we cut then goes to the Falcons and all of a sudden he's an all-pro kicker. You know he missed a couple field goals, dude. We picked off Cousins four times. We just couldn't get the ball in the end zone.
Scott:Lad balled. I mean he had 120 yards-ish in the first half. Yeah, his total yardage by DraftKings was 59.5. He almost had that. On his first reception of the game he went for 52. But on that reception he came down when he got tackled on his shoulder and you could tell that was bothering the rest of the game. Well, it didn't bother him because he had eight more receptions and the reason I bet that was this is his first game back in Georgia. Where did he play football? Georgia? And the guy dominated, but we didn't score a touchdown. On offense, our offensive line looked like absolute doo-doo. Tp and I were talking about it earlier in the week. Dude, the Falcons are 32nd in the league in sacks for the year. Okay, going into the game yesterday, they had registered only 10 sacks the entire year. You know how many they had yesterday against the Chargers.
Graham:Three, five, oh my God, five.
Scott:I thought you had two bookend tackles and this is a team that has Slater, that has Alt Granted. Neither one of them gave up a sack. But where have we been talking about all year the pressure's coming from the middle?
Announcer:Yeah.
Scott:But the guards. I'm just going to go out and say dude, fifth round cornerback, fifth round draft pick, rookie cornerback Tarib Still, dude had two picks yesterday and a pick six. Let's go Hearts out. Perryman being out is killing us. Never knew how much Perryman being out was going to hurt the team, but I don't know. We found a way to win. This is a game under the old regime, brandon Staley, we lose 100%. I mean Cousins is going down the field. Chargers are up and fourth and two play incomplete pass. They call it defensive holding on the Chargers. That's when I text you fuck, we're going to lose. Automatic first down, it goes to fourth and ten. Derwin, sir ends the game with a pick. Let me just say this derwin best game of the year.
Scott:Yesterday, my guy straight balling dude. A guy we signed on wednesday okay wednesday that didn't practice with the team. Some dude named that didn't practice with the team. Some dude named May he didn't practice with the team until Friday had a pick in the end zone. Ain't mad at that, no, I mean the boys found a way. I mean Harbaugh did a fake punt in Falcons territory. I was like what the shit? Jk Scott's throwing a fake punt to Stone Smart. We missed it by about that much, by about six inches, but dude, we got the win. Oh well, I'm happy, a win's a win. It was ugly, don't care. I'm worried about this coming week against the Chiefs because Ladd is now questionable, but it is what it is. Sunday night football, go ahead and get ready for the bullshit calls from the refs. You know, is it time we finally get to see DJ Chark?
Graham:I mean, I keep forgetting he's on the team.
Scott:To be honest, I mean, somebody asked Harbaugh about it today in his press conference and he goes bro, the best team, best players are playing in the games. Read between the lines I ain't mad at that. Not mad at it, dude. We're 8-4. We won five games last year. How can you be mad? How can you be mad?
Graham:I'm not. It's not mad, it's just you've gotten a glimmer of hope.
Scott:Dude, we're not making a playoff, a deep run in the playoffs this year it's not going to happen.
Graham:Yeah.
Scott:It's not going to happen. They're not ready for that. We've got too many holes on both sides of the ball. But getting in, possibly getting that five seed which is the hope going to the texans, maybe getting a dub, and then going on the road and getting to the divisional round and getting beat by whoever you're playing, is that a bad thing? Is that a bad thing? No, for a rebuilding year? No, it's not. It's not. Would I be bummed, of course, but in the back of my mind would I have a big smile? A hundred percent.
Announcer:Facts.
Scott:But our boy Rob, on the other hand. Oh my God, we were in this text conversation last night.
Announcer:Dude, I'm not even getting into that.
Scott:I'm not even getting into that First quarter dude, first quarter Fulton has a pass interference and him and his son. I'm like Trevor dude, don't be your dad, fulton, god damn son of a. I'm like, oh, dude, don't be your dad, Fulton, goddamn son of a. I'm like, oh my God, dude.
Graham:The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I mean, come on. No, it doesn't. But, dude, we love you guys from the bottom of our hearts.
Scott:I love these conversations, but, dude, the old regime loses. But the game of the week obviously was the Eagles at the Ravens. Yes and dude, it didn't disappoint. Ravens came out early, scored. They're up 9-0, and the reason they're up 9-0 is Justin Tucker misses an extra point. Huh, can we? And then miss two field goals later on? Dude, is Justin Tucker broken. I want to be honest.
Graham:If you're the Ravens, stop taking those 800-yard passes, bro, what the?
Announcer:You're only up six.
Scott:Clock control you dumbass. If you're the Ravens, do you bring in a kicker to smack Justin Tucker in the back of the head and go bro?
Graham:Here's the thing.
Scott:You would think, dude, you lost by. I know it was a garbage time touchdown, but you lost the game by what? Six?
Graham:yeah, he missed two field goals and an extra point I mean, do the math, the other misses that he had in previous games that could have meant something like misses against us. I feel you look, harbaugh has too much respect and love for him that I don't think Well, one, he's not cutting him, but two, for them to give up a roster spot just to bring in someone else.
Scott:You don't have to. He knows you don't have to give up a roster spot. Do you bring somebody in for a workout just to show Tucker? Hey, get your shit together you got it.
Graham:What the fuck? Come on? Yeah, just give jerry judy another 50 more yards of offense. Jerry judy has as many receiving yards as the broncos have passing yards. Right though, um, I I don't disagree with you. I mean listening to different. You know commentators. Well, not commentators, but just you know people that talk shit online. They're just like yo.
Graham:Tucker should just like fake an injury, save himself from himself type of a situation, so that way he doesn't have egg on his face, because, look, when you go from the number one kicker, statistically of all time, he's 70% in kicks. This year you go from 90 to 70?, bruh, if you were anybody else, you're toast, yeah, you're toast. It'd be like Vinatieri missing. Do you cut him? Yeah, but here's the thing I'm talking with other people about it. They ask me, like Graham, what's your opinion on it? I'm like keep him, give him that false hope of confidence, because when we play them again during the season, possibly in the playoffs, I'd rather be kicking against him, against the guy that. Is he gonna make it? Is he not gonna make it? I'd rather take my chances with him playing mind games with himself versus bringing someone else in. That's, you know, eager and hungry to get the job.
Graham:So am I wrong for saying that? I don't think so. But hey, as a Steeler fan, roll them dice, baby. Keep with that man, keep it. It's crazy. I also think in that game with the Eagles and Ravens I think we figured out that you know it was who's better, saquon or Derrick Henry. It was really 1A, 1b. But after that game, how is it not Saquon?
Graham:I mean now he has the yards.
Scott:Saquon's younger.
Graham:Granted now that there's the extra game. But dude, he's going to cry. He has, I think he has four. It's either $13.99 or $14.99. Rushing yards after 13 weeks. Yeah, it's insane. He could Well, I can't, I won't say easily, but he has a very good chance of cracking 2,000 yards. Oh yeah, not all-purpose yards just rushing yards.
Scott:If he doesn't, it's because he gets hurt.
Graham:Oh facts. It's not like they're not going to feed him the rock, but I will say go ahead.
Graham:No, go ahead. I was just going to say for how he's been playing it was 1A, 1b with Derrick Henry for the chance of possibly a running back getting MVP, but after the Josh Allen performance last night it's like it's almost his to lose right now. I mean he's minus 250, I think, for MVP and honestly, credit to them. You lose your top two wideouts, you lose Stephon Diggs, you lose Gabe Davis and now you're 11-2? What You're playing better.
Announcer:Yeah.
Graham:And honestly, it makes so much sense. He's not forcing the ball to Diggs all the time, he's not forcing the ball to these people, he's just getting what the defense has given. Oh, we'll block this guy, but this guy's open. All right, he can get it. Okay, he can get it.
Scott:Let's don't forget that second year tight end, that's amazing. Kincaid not getting a lot of touches, yeah, and that running back they have Cooks he's playing. He ain't bad, he's playing.
Announcer:Yeah.
Scott:But before we even jump into that game, can we finally start giving the Eagles defense some credit?
Graham:I mean who wasn't giving them credit? That's what I want to know. A lot of people, a lot of people. Dude, did you see the open field tackle Cooper Dejean had on Derrick Henry, my guy.
Scott:Oh my guy, my guy Loved it, dude Loved it.
Graham:Did you see that, Ryan Clark's? Like I told y'all mofos I could take them. I loved it.
Scott:That was sick, that was sick.
Graham:He's like got him.
Scott:Here we go. Oh my him Third and 15 here, here we go.
Graham:Oh my Lord, we need to stop.
Announcer:Yeah, we do.
Scott:We need to pick.
Announcer:Oh, get him. Oh, my God or how about a first?
Scott:down To Judy again.
Graham:Hey Sean Payton.
Scott:No, what the?
Graham:Are you doing? Hey, vanceton? No, what the are you doing?
Scott:Hey Vance Joseph.
Graham:Yeah, it starts with the defensive coordinator, but then it's ultimately whose responsibility the head coach? Coach, say something, nobody's ever Jerry. Judy has probably 225 yards right now.
Scott:What does he have? I'm about to look at the crazy.
Graham:It's over 200. If I was to guess 7 for oh, here we go. 8 for 219 and a touch, wow, oh. And then you're gonna let, oh, my god, wow.
Scott:Dude, let's don't forget my boy, jameis. Winston's got 441 through the air, yeah.
Graham:Well, when 219 of it are to one player.
Announcer:Oh, my God.
Graham:How about a touchdown.
Scott:Chubb. Oh my God.
Graham:Wow, thanks for your no rushing arts. But that insignificant touchdown that will do nothing for you in fantasy, for us. Thanks, right. Wow, that's what I feel about that you just shit yourself.
Scott:If you edit that out, I'm going to be pissed. Anyhow, I know you didn't get to see much of the game last night, the Bills-Niners snow game. I mean insane amount of snow. You know, once again they hired all these people to come shovel snow. And you know, like our boy Billy, hey, Buffalo, your new stadium, why not build a dome?
Graham:Because it takes away from the traditional Dude. It's a rite of passage in Buffalo. You don't think those fans love doing that.
Scott:I understand, but did you see how much the tickets were going for last night?
Graham:30 bucks, yeah, did you see how full the tickets were going for last night, 30 bucks. Yeah, did you see how full the stadium was? It was.
Scott:What else, like we said back in the day, what else they got to do in Buffalo? And God dang, on December 1st, go bowling.
Graham:Well, they have sabers. You know, Like I said, what?
Scott:else do they have to do in Buffalo and December? Wow, go bowling. Jesus, jump on tables. I mean, go to Niagara Falls.
Graham:Hunt Fish Build a dome. Whatever, the new stadium will have coverage, but it's still going to be open. Whatever it is, it looks nice.
Scott:Yeah, it does. Real story McCaffrey done for the season.
Graham:That video that you sent that clip of him running and you see his calf. They said, oh, it's a PCL. I'm like, so your calf attached to this to your knee? I'm like, what Did you this to your knee? I'm like, what did you see that video? What?
Scott:dude. And the funny thing, I sent it. I sent it to rob that video. This is hilarious. Wait for it. Uh, trevor says dang it, I gotta go way back Cause he was jumping off the bridge. Um, who Rob? Yeah, exactly. Oh, here you go. Trevor is telling me after watching your video that in slow motion is just a fat on his calf.
Graham:Shit. Do you think he has fat on his calf? What, christian McCaffrey is probably 4% body fat. Get the bleep out of here. I was dying, dying. You know what? If I change my name, it's going to be 5% body fat. Yeah, just for Rob.
Scott:Anyhow, dude, the one play that had everybody talking, especially fantasy football guys, is the josh allen pass to cooper and then cooper laterals it to allen. Allen scores. Okay, he gets credited in the box score for the touchdown reception and a passing touchdown.
Graham:I mean, it's only happened one other time in the history of the NFL Insane.
Scott:Insane, but not a reception. It's a touchdown reception.
Graham:No one's crying over spilled milk bro.
Scott:But like we always say on the show, make it make sense. It's a touchdown reception, but not a reception.
Graham:Is catching a lateral a reception. I guess it is.
Scott:The box score because it counted as a touchdown reception. The box score Because it counted as a touchdown reception. Oh my God. But all you got to know about this game is dude Mitchell Trubisky was taking snaps with 10 minutes left in the game. That's all you got to know.
Graham:That's all you got to know right whoops. It was fun to watch for the little bit that I saw. Yeah, whooped um next week.
Scott:I mean we're an hour in the show. I knew tonight was going to run long, just because college football, thanksgiving football. There was a lot of drama out there. Um, who do y'all play next week?
Graham:Oh, cleveland, revenge At home.
Scott:Is it? It is Okay, that's right, because it was in Cleveland last time.
Graham:Yezzer. Ooh, I'm not throwing out Any proclamations or anything, but oh no, at least a touchdown. I'm not throwing out any proclamations or anything, but oh no, at least a touchdown.
Scott:Oh well, I wanted to say 10+, but I won't be greedy, I'm just saying this If we somehow survive this week in Survivor, can you see what I'm talking about?
Graham:I'm picking up what you're laying down, homie. I'm picking it up what you're laying down and also what's laying down. They just saw a stat on the TV the Cleveland Browns have 503 yards of offense what I thought Denver was supposed to have. This and I air quote folks top five defense.
Scott:Dude, how about Judy and Sertan played together at Bama and in Denver together?
Graham:Yeah, they've been waiting for this. Game was circled and look, judy's been giving them that work Like he did his part. Hopefully that's the only part that he's doing. Come on, denver, come on.
Scott:I did an alternate spread in this parlay Denver minus two and a half.
Graham:And I got him in survivor. A field goal.
Scott:Anyhow, come on, we need a survivor, a field goal, a field goal Anyhow.
Graham:Come on, we need a touchdown, please, please.
Scott:Anyhow, next week we got Big Ten Championship, we got ACC Championship, we got Big 12. We got SEC. Funny thing, once Penn State won, I went ahead and looked at the spreads for next week when there were only two out there. Dude, you guys are only getting three against Oregon, and it opened up at three. I was shocked on that, but here's the crazy one. So SMU, their first year in the ACC, is playing Clemson right In the ACC championship. The line opened up Clemson minus two and a half and I jumped on SMU plus two and a half. You know what it is now? Smu's laying two and a half. What? Yeah, the numbers switched that fast. Wow, look at you. Yeah, texas, georgia, dude, let's see. Real quick Going into that. Hold on, hold on. We got Georgia getting two and a half playing Texas.
Announcer:Really.
Scott:Yeah, penn State's now getting three and a half. Yeah, I better book that once this. I think Texas rolls Episode's over.
Graham:Dude, I think Oregon's going to roll.
Scott:Yeah, but Vegas ain't dumb dude.
Graham:Hey Vegas wasn't dumb. Yeah. What about Vegas? Oh, Detroit's only six and a half point favorites against the Colts, and then light them up by 40. Yeah, and then light them up by 40. Yeah, so I mean, 98% of the time that theory is correct. Yeah, but there's always a couple games. There's always that game. You can find that chink in the armor and I would, oh my Lord.
Scott:Speaking of, we've got a good Thursday night game Packers at Lions.
