1:11

some game picks. Like I said, um, Jets

1:13

are favored minus seven on the road at

1:15

New England. What are your pick? What's your

1:17

pick for that game? What do you think

1:19

of Drake May before I make my pick?

1:22

Like what do you think he's good? I

1:24

think he's great. I think he's good. I

1:26

think he's great. I think he's great. I

1:29

think he's great. I think he's a team

1:31

soft. That's your problem, dude. That's like

1:33

that's like, have you're like, have you're

1:35

seen, have you're seen, I think. It's

1:37

Tim Robinson. And it comes in and

1:39

he goes, and there's the hot dog

1:41

cart, it comes to the house, and

1:43

he goes, whoever's the, whoever's a car

1:45

that is, should go, we're all trying

1:47

to find the guy who did this.

1:49

It's you, Mayo, Dryad, it's you. Yeah.

1:52

They're soft because you were. They're

1:54

responsible for them being soft. Didn't

1:56

he give out like a game ball

1:58

to literally everyone on the team for? week

2:00

one. Oh my God, soft. Soft. Okay. All right.

2:02

So who am I taking? Okay. I am going

2:04

to as much as I, as much as they

2:06

frustrate me, they have to get this right. They

2:08

can't lose to the Patriots. Jets minus seven on

2:11

the road. That's, that's a big number. Yeah, that's

2:13

a big win game. The Seven is a big

2:15

number. That's a big number. But the Jets are

2:17

seven point favorites, Anne. He speaks to how bad

2:19

the Patriots are. So I will take the Jets

2:21

here to win by 14 points. Yeah, I think

2:23

I'm going to take him, I'm going to take

2:25

the Jets to cover for sure. But New England,

2:28

I don't know. Yeah, it's New England just sucked

2:30

against the dolphin. There's no way. Okay. I'm also

2:32

not feeling bad for New England. I mean, they

2:34

had the great Boston, for that matter. They had

2:36

the greatest 20-year run of any sports city in

2:38

America. And by the way, you said you could

2:40

relate to me earlier with a great backpackers? No,

2:43

you can't. You were about, yeah, you listened. That's

2:45

true. No, no, no, listen. You had Brett Farv,

2:47

you had Aaron Rogers, and now you had Jordan

2:49

love. We've won a couple of Super Bowls. I

2:51

get your quarterbacks at the very end. I cannot

2:53

wait 15 years from today. I cannot wait to

2:55

have Jordan Love be the quarterback of the year

2:58

yet. And the Vikings. I know it's the weirdest,

3:00

it is the weirdest thing. I don't know if

3:02

Jordan Love will get into this later, but I

3:04

don't know if Jordan Love watches, who has watched

3:06

so much game film of Brett Barb and Aaron

3:08

Rogers, he's literally, both of them. And I did

3:10

this in my video as well this week. He

3:13

has like Aaron Rogers on one shoulder, Brett Farv

3:15

on the other, telling him, you know, check it

3:17

down here, it's okay, be safe, the other one

3:19

stands. Throw the damn ball, throw a deep throw,

3:21

it's ridiculous. But I'll tell you this, neither of

3:23

them are giving him good advice. But I'll tell

3:25

you this, neither of them are giving him good

3:27

advice on light. No. They're not. It's not an

3:30

angel and a devil on the shoulder on the

3:32

shoulder, it. It's two devils. It's two devils. It's

3:34

two devils. It's two devils. It's two devils. It's

3:36

two devils. It's two devils. It's two devils. It's

3:38

two devils. It's two devils. It's two devils. It's

3:40

two devils. It's two devils. It's two devils. Okay.

3:42

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. NFL

3:45

fans can talk themselves into literally anything. We've

3:47

seen it happen all the time like how

3:49

we thought the Jets were gonna be good

3:51

this year. Is there something to legitimately hope

3:54

for or are fans just coping with a

3:56

sad, sad reality? So we're gonna put two

3:58

minutes on the clock. Those will just be

4:00

kind of quick answers. You're gonna tell me

4:02

if each. which should have hope or just

4:05

cope. The Rams are two and five. They're

4:07

getting Cooper cut back though, but they play

4:09

Minnesota on Thursday Night football this week. Should

4:11

they hope or cope? Hope. Hope. The Ramsion

4:13

Hope. They're getting caught back. I know CUP

4:16

has been rumored in some trades, maybe to

4:18

the Chiefs, which would be absolutely ridiculous. But

4:20

I think in a, you know, in a

4:22

bad division with San Francisco, not as good

4:24

as they, as they've been in years past,

4:27

hope, hope for the Rams. 49ers. They're three

4:29

and four. Oh man, the cat free. We'll

4:31

be back, but they are just dealing with

4:33

so many injuries they had. Brandon Ayukk out

4:35

for the season, it's terrible. So is it

4:38

time for them to hope or cope? Yeah,

4:40

have Iukk out for the season? You have

4:42

Debo Samuel sitting in the hospital, Brock Purdy

4:44

is overrated, Kyle Shanahan is also overrated, blah

4:46

blah blah, Kyle Shanahan is also overrated, blah

4:49

blah, Kyle Shanahan. I mean, Jesus, make it

4:51

to a Super Bowl and actually win it.

4:53

be a long year. Coe. Pass Shannon can't

4:55

blow a 10-point lead if he doesn't have

4:57

one. Okay, Bangles, they're three and four, they're

5:00

heating up. But their wins are over Carolina,

5:02

the Giants, and Cleveland. Is it time to

5:04

hope or cope? It is time to hope.

5:06

I know they lost that game to Baltimore

5:08

a couple of weeks ago. I said it

5:11

one in four. I told Lebitore this, that

5:13

the Bengals are the best one in four

5:15

team in the history of the NFL. They

5:17

almost beat the Chiefs. The schedule is easy.

5:19

They will be five and four the next

5:22

time they play Baltimore. They play Baltimore, I

5:24

believe, at home. So I would say a

5:26

lot of hope for the Cincinnati Bengals. team

5:28

better equipped to beat Kansas City in the

5:30

playoffs than the Cincinnati bank. And lastly Tampa

5:33

Bay, their four and three Baker is leaving

5:35

the league in touchdowns but lost Godwin and

5:37

Mike Evans last night. Oh my gosh is

5:39

a time to hope or cope. I would

5:41

say hope still like the Baker Mayfield story

5:44

is a great story. The Browns could use

5:46

a quarterback like that. It's a great story.

5:48

I know they lose Evans. great he's out

5:50

for the year Evans might come back maybe

5:52

they trade for a wide receiver division is

5:55

not that good I would say I would

5:57

say hope for that lots I think there's

5:59

more hope than cope going on here guys

6:01

that's good news for fan bases all right

6:03

guys and now it is time for us

6:06

two guys our segment called no offense this

6:08

is your chance not that the The Zen

6:10

support group wasn't but this is your chance

6:12

to rant about something that you are Super

6:14

offended by in the NFL or something that's

6:17

just been bothering you This is called no

6:19

offense. So first though the rule is you

6:21

have to start out by saying no offense

6:23

But because everybody knows when you say no

6:25

offense, it's not gonna be offensive. So I

6:28

will start Okay, this is gonna be off

6:30

the cuff because I have a lot of

6:32

emotions about this. I'm gonna try and condense

6:34

it down. No offense, but Jordan love has

6:36

the best parts of Aaron Rogers and Brett

6:39

Farr. Everybody's saying it's negative, okay? Everybody is

6:41

negative about it, but I see... positive qualities

6:43

and I think this could be a very

6:45

good thing we talked about earlier he might

6:47

go play for the Vikings and then go

6:50

to the Jets afterward doesn't matter guys we

6:52

have a Hall of Fame quarterback you guys

6:54

try to tell me that he has the

6:56

worst parts of both of my my other

6:58

Hall of Fame quarterbacks I don't buy it

7:01

okay I think he looks the worst parts

7:03

of my my other Hall of Fame quarterbacks

7:05

I don't buy it okay I think he

7:07

looks great his ceiling is incredibly high from

7:09

the Salvation No offense, but Miles Garrett and

7:12

James Winston shut the hell up. Order you

7:14

guys talking about and who the hell are

7:16

you defending? Are you kidding me? You're defending

7:18

DeShon Watson? That's the guy you're defending. And

7:20

by the way, leave the fans alone. Fans

7:23

are fans. It's not their fault. They went

7:25

out and got DeShon Watson. So I don't

7:27

blame the fans for cheering DeShon on the

7:29

way in and I certainly don't blame them

7:31

for booing him on the way out. who

7:34

I blame is Miles Garrett at Jamis Winston

7:36

for being complete morons and forgetting about all

7:38

the off-the-field stuff that has gone on with

7:40

DeShaughan Watts. If you want to blame someone,

7:42

if you want to speak up, don't speak

7:45

up about the fans, speak up about DeShaughan.

7:47

He is the reason that you're getting this

7:49

reaction from the fans. And if you want

7:51

to blame someone, blame DeShaughan Watson for what

7:53

he did off the field. And if you

7:56

want to blame someone else, blame Jimmy Haslem,

7:58

the owner, for citing DeShaw and what he

8:00

knew everything that he did off the field.

8:02

Enough! Please stop defending to Sean Watson. Hey,

8:04

Stuttgart, but he said he said he was

8:07

only bad for or he's only good for

8:09

most of his pro career. So the most

8:11

of is the, you know, the big part.

8:13

Yeah, but what was the best rant? That

8:15

was the best rant. It's that was the

8:18

best rant. It's that was crazy. I get

8:20

you're supporting your teammates and everything, but no,

8:22

treating him like he's some victim out there

8:24

of things that he settled. Cases that he

8:26

settled and now we're making it seem like

8:29

he did absolutely nothing wrong Yeah, it's crazy.

8:31

It's crazy. You know, it's interesting because people

8:33

are pointing out like the bad play and

8:35

stuff. It's he's living with demons like he

8:37

that's he's living with demons, right? Yeah. And

8:40

so it would be it would be harder

8:42

to make fun of him if he didn't,

8:44

wasn't literally the worst quarterback in the NFL.

8:46

He sucks. He's terrible. No, if he was

8:48

playing well, they would, I mean, they'd be

8:51

freaking out when he's fans or fans are

8:53

fans. Yeah. This is a release for them.

8:55

This is a release for them. Yes, by

8:57

the way, we have been rooting. If you're

8:59

a fan of sports, you are rooting for

9:02

bad people all the time. You just don't

9:04

know it. You just don't know it yet.

9:06

Okay, so I'm not saying they're all bad,

9:08

but there are bad people you've rooted for.

9:10

I promise you over the course of time.

9:13

You just don't know it. All right, they're

9:15

bad in their private life. But I hate

9:17

when people tell fans how to act. I

9:19

can't. the way in they think

9:21

that he could win

9:24

a a Super Bowl and

9:26

they're going to boom

9:28

on the way out

9:30

because he wasn't playing,

9:32

you know, he wasn't

9:35

playing well. And so two players

9:37

two players to come

9:39

out and the fans fans

9:41

of that and not

9:43

blast their for signing

9:46

the guy in the

9:48

first place place is absurd.

9:50

It's ridiculous. Look, if

9:52

that happened in Philadelphia,

9:54

imagine the fans there

9:57

have done have done egregious They

9:59

threw they at Santa

10:01

and batteries and all

10:03

that stuff that and all that

10:05

leave the fans alone.

10:08

Let them fans alone. Let
