Full transcript with timestamps
What other retired player should get back out there? I was thinking about this. Who else would be like?
I mean, I know a guy still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk. Travis, I can't bend my elbow right now. I can't even touch my head right now cuz I got a loose body stuck in my elbow joint.
Well, go and get that cleaned out. Jason, I'm trying to avoid surgery. Travis, are we not rehabbing?
There's not a rehab. There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there and it's stuck in my joint.
Oh, well, yeah. Jason, you got to go and get that cleaned out. It's like stuck somewhere. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving. I don't know. Anyway, it's not going to be me. WELCOME BACK TO New Heights. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, a wonder brought to you by All State. You're in good hands with All State. We're your hosts.

getting in for the Colts. Before we get into that, we're going to get into some new news.
New news. News is brought to you by Reese's Trees. Oh, we're in the holiday season, aren't we?
The Reese's holiday treats are the best. We've always said it. Whether it's pumpkins or trees or Sure. They got some type of bunny thing going on. It's uh Oh, the eggs. Reese's trees better than Reese's pumpkins. Is that the question you're asking, Brandon? Looks like it. Um I mean, honestly, I think it's pretty similar. It's definitely similar to the pumpkin in the fact that they both have more peanut butter to chocolate ratio, which I enjoy. So, I think it's probably about the same if I'm being honest.
We're going even. I'm going even. Well, we got a lot of new heights coming your way for the holidays. This Friday, we're going to be dropping our film review of Home Alone with an incredible special guest.
That's right. THE ONE AND ONLY KYLIE KELSEY. NOT GOING TO lies Only is in for the Home Alone guest episode. And next Monday, we got a great guest episode coming out. First guest we've ever had on the podcast. Well, HE'S BACK. PAUL RUDD, EVERYONE. PAUL RUDD IS BACK.

Oh, that was classic. I actually might need to rewatch that. Jason, you are a great shopper.
Never been. Never been. Please enjoy the holidays with your family and also a lot of new heights. That wraps up new news brought to you by Reese's Trees. And
since it's the holiday season, I'm going to say the Reesei trees are a little bit better than the pumpkins. All right, now let's get to some bold topics to wrap up week 15 in the NFL and unfortunately wrap up uh our playoff hopes.
Chiefs 13, Chargers 16. What are your thoughts following the game? Um, well, first things first, obviously we lost our uh we lost our quarterback, man. Patty Mahomes, our guy, our our brother, our uh our fearless leader, our face of the franchise. And um to an ACL, and uh it's just it's never easy seeing your guys go down. We had a bunch of guys get hurt this past game. And um and we fought, man. We fought. We had we had some guys fight through some stuff. We had some guys unfortunately not make it back out on the field. and um for the season to be going like it did uh up to that point and we're on our last, you know, quest to to try and keep our playoff hopes alive there in the fourth quarter and on a freakish play to see5 go down like that, man. It [ __ ] it it it was almost like it was it wasn't real and um and [ __ ] just sucks, man. um for a guy that puts in that much and um puts his body on the line week in week out and and you know makes this football world uh he makes the best of it man by by how hard he works and it just it sucks man and then uh obviously we we had some momentum going there with our guy Garter Mshu man and uh tried to find a way there at the end and it's just uh things just didn't go our way up to that point and um and
yeah and that's the uh that's the game for you right there. It's just uh things just, you know, when you need them the most just weren't falling for us. And uh you got to go back to the drawing boards, man. And um and we got three games left. I know we're still talking about this game, but uh the integrity of who you are as a professional, as a player. Um you got to love this [ __ ] man. And um and uh Chiefs Kane, we're going to give you everything we got. There's there's no question about that. There's only one way I do things. There's only one way Coach Reed does things. And if we're going to go out there and play some football, we're going to do it the right way and uh keep trying to get these things fixed and end on uh uh the highest note that we can.
Well, for the first time since 2014, the Chiefs are eliminated from the postseason, which is an outrageous stat. Over a decade of postseason play for the Kansas City Chiefs. I was thinking about this the other day. What was crazy being at the game? I don't think I've ever been in that stadium with you guys out of the picture in the regular season.
No, you haven't. Definitely not 2013. 14 was the only my only one, but I don't and and there was only one game where we needed some things to happen and it didn't happen. And then we we played the last game with uh our guy Chase Daniels back there.
Shut up. Yeah. So, it's just wild. I mean, it was wild being there and, you know, I feel like it
and a completely a crazy completely different year. That year, we didn't have any wide receiver score a touchdown,
right? As crazy as that is, this year we're, you know, numbers wise, we're we're up there with some of the top offenses and depending on what category you're looking at, but um just critical moments, man. Uh all the games we've lost were one-score games, man. We were in it right there uh to the end.
Yeah. one and seven in one scorecore games. Even that game up until the very last pick, I feel like you guys were going to in my head I'm like, "Oh, they're going to find a way to get it done." And it's just cuz you guys
felt like that, man. You guys have just done it so much. So that's why when five went down, I was like, "No way. This is what happens,
right?" Yeah. Guess how do you approach the rest of the season? You talked about a little bit. We're going to go out there and battle together. Like
it's kind of unfamiliar territory at this point for a lot of guys in the building. Um, the guys that have been there, I'm the only one that's been on the team uh long enough to to see us not make the playoffs
or to play a game that that you know, you there's notions further in the season. Yeah.
Um, and uh, you know, it's obviously [ __ ] up, but uh, but it's it's a new feeling. So, all I know is to go out there and play my ass off and and and to show up and to, you know, give my guys the best chance to win. And uh and and I think that's that's the mentality, man. There's an integrity thing here that when you sign up for the gig, uh you're living out your dreams. You're living out a kid a kid's dream that that never got a chance to do this. You're living out um you know, man.
Yeah. You're uh you're playing this game obviously to win Super Bowls. you're playing this game to to be in those playoff scenarios and stuff, but at the end of the day, man, you're playing in the NFL.
Yeah. And that's a [ __ ] blessing. That's an honor. It's an honor to be out there. It's an honor to feel the soreness after a game cuz you're actually out there. You're [ __ ] doing it.
Yeah. You're living your dream. And um no matter if you're getting the [ __ ] ball thrown to you, no matter if you're if you're blocking your tail off and you never, you know, see the pill, it's it's an honor to be out there in a uniform. Uh playing for the for the guys around you, playing for your family, playing for the uh the people back home that are watching you that that have known you since you were a little kid, dreaming about this moment. Um or dreaming about these moments being in the NFL. Um, and I'll tell you what, man. If uh if there's a game to be have, baby, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to love [ __ ] playing in it. Uh, no matter if it's a game that, uh, in the playoffs or gets us in the playoffs or a game that, you know, seems like it doesn't have any implications of that. So,
no doubt. Well said, draft. And that's the integrity you got to you got to [ __ ] go out there with, man.
For sure. Yeah, the other thing I always think about whenever I played in games like this or seasons that have gone south, you know, even in the years where everything doesn't work out, you still have like a team, you're still close with guys. And I always thought similar to what you're saying, Tra, like we only got three weeks left of this year's team to play football. Like next year it's going to look different, right? Guys are gonna be back, guys aren't going to be back. It's it's no two years are the same. and you and you try to enjoy those the few weeks that you know you have together and yeah obviously the big thing looming is not only you guys out of the playoffs but you know Patrick Mahomes tears his ACL in December usually that's an 8 to nine month injury recovery I've been through it myself it's a rough one you hate to see it end that way you know what I mean
it was just a devastating like kind of final moment there and Gardner went out there and battled his ass off
now you know you know Gardner is going to do that baby that's That's all that's how he's built, man. And uh and we're going to [ __ ] fight for him from here on out and then go out there and try and win some ball games with my guy G. And obviously it came out that the surgery went well. And I mean he's he's a warrior, man. I'm telling you, this guy's played through everything, battled through everything. Um has be been crowned champion because he's battled through everything and he's going to battle through this. It's the it's the only way this guy is is wired, man. He's uh he's a fearless fearless warrior when it comes to this football thing and he he's going to make sure that he comes back stronger than ever and um and you know hopefully the Chiefs can get him back as as soon as possible. I know right now it's kind of right around that week one or the the the beginning of the season next year. So um I know he's going to be doing everything he can to get back back out on that field for the Chiefs um as soon as possible. Man,
I love it, brother. You guys are headed to Tennessee to face the 2 and2 Titans.
Yeah, man. We got the Titans. And the Titans, as as their record may show, they they've only won two games, but man, they're [ __ ] playing hard.
Hell yeah, brother. And they got guys uh on that defensive line that can that can wreck a game. Obviously, Jeffrey Simmons has been doing it for a while now, man.
A big old mean dude up front. Uh and uh we're going to we're going to have to find ways to be able to slow him down and uh make uh our guy Gardner back get comfortable back there. And from there, it's just uh mastering the game plan and getting out there and um and getting after it, man.
We do have this miked up video of you and Derwin, who had the game ceiling interception. Let's take a look at this.
Give me this jersey. Give it to me. You already know. Keep bleeding, man. This is cool to see you transpiring, bro. You already know, baby.
The best one. Come on now. Come on. Do your thing, baby. We've had so many battles, man.
What a great dude, man. Just plays the game the right way. The attitude, the physicality, the toughness.
I love it when, you know, you can you can get after somebody on the football field. They can [ __ ] pick you up and body slam you and there's no bad blood. There's just there's just a bunch of respect for how they carry themselves and go at it. And obviously, Derwin's one of the [ __ ] best to ever do it, man. And so, um, it was an honor to swap jerseys with him and, uh, the honor to share the [ __ ] grid iron with him, man. I'm a guy that I [ __ ] love this game, man. I love it. I love it when I get to go against another guy that I watch on film and I'm like, "That guy [ __ ] plays this game the right way,
you know, and uh and he got me on a few this past game." It's cool that he uh he came up and said all that, man. I wish him the best of luck the rest of the year man.
The question is, have you sent them the jersey yet? Yeah. Yeah, I shot it over to him.
Oh, nice. There you go. I still owe a few guys jerseys. So, you still owe me a jersey, Jason.
Do I? I feel like you have a jersey of mine. I've stole like three jerseys from your house just laying around. So, I might have stole somebody else's that you were meant to get out to them.
Dude, I I had like a mad dash of getting jerseys out to other guys late in my life.
Just start a note. Just starting notes of like reminding yourself. I don't remember the guys now at this point.
But you'll remember them when you see them. You'll be like, "Oh [ __ ] I was supposed to get that guy a jersey." Just write it down.
Like there's two guys like I know I already I sent them jerseys, but I never got confirmation they got them. I hope they got them.
My Bearcats I played in India. I haven't gotten there. The jerseys over to them yet.
Uh sauce. Alec Pierce. Yeah, our guy Alec Pierce, dude, he's a stud. I know. Let's keep this thing moving, man. Shout out to the Chargers. Our guy Jesse Mener, Coach Mentor, I should say. He's uh he's got those guys rolling. Obviously, I respect the hell out of Harball and what they've been able to keep doing over there, man. And uh wish them the best of luck.

It's time to thank our partner. Who's that? Reese's or Reese's, however you like to call it. I'm pretty sure they would like us to say Reese's. So, we're going to say Reese's. And they're perfect holiday companion. They're Reese's trees.
Ooh, they are so good. Nothing says the holiday like Reese's perfect peanut butter stuffed chocolate trees. They might be the best holiday candy ever. It's up for debate. Every holiday tradition is better when you add Reese's trees.
Holiday movies. Yeah. I mean, those go definitely better with Reese's Trees. Ugly sweater parties.
I mean, who doesn't like chocolate stains all over their ugly sweater? I do. Skipping the ugly sweater party to watch football in your sweats instead.
I mean, that's a nobrainer. Of course. I mean, you throw on that ugly sweater anyways.
Yeah. So celebrate the season with peanut butter perfection. And be sure to grab Reese's trees today. Jason, why don't you tell them where you get them from?
Well, it's found wherever candy is sold. Literally, you can find it everywhere. I think I called you Jason.

So, shop holiday gifts for everyone on Amazon. Well, good luck, Trav. Want to move on to uh some of the other things that happened this past week?
Yeah, let's talk a little Raiders Eagles. Man, so far New Heights has played the the Raiders pretty well. That's right. They haven't scored a single point against either one of our teams. Uh the Eagles 31, Raiders zero. Jason, thoughts on the birds?
Um obviously it's everything you want to do against the Raiders, right? Like you're playing a team that you know has been struggling and they're not very good, but you still got to go out there and perform. And you know, I thought the Eagles offense did a really good job. I thought that the the run game is something that we stuck with it, right? Like the first series I'm always watching like, okay, what is this going to be? What's the plan today? How many runs is this going to be? How much shot? How much under center? Like what's the flavor? And in the first series, I think there were like seven runs or was a quarterback designed run. It was clear that they were going to stick with that and try and establish a line of scrimmage was something I think they need to continue to do moving forward. And I just liked seeing it. They pushed the ball down the field. They created explosives. You It's everything that you want to see against uh not just the Las Vegas Raiders, but what this Eagles team needs to be moving forward. And then
defensively, I mean, I think they held the Raiders to 70 yards on offense. Like, it was an all-time performance from the defense. This is what this team can be. You know, you you even when the run's not hitting early, you got to stick with it. You got to keep attacking line of scrimmage, keep making them defend that, and then take your shots when they're there. And and they did that throughout the game. And I thought that that was outstanding and it's who they should be moving forward. And they got three games left, right? Two of them against the Washington Commanders, one of them against the Buffalo Bills. They're they've pretty much all but clinched their spot in the playoffs. They just need one more win and it's over. Um really one more loss by the Cowboys and it's over. So, you know, they're in the driver's seat. They're probably going to be the three seed. If they win out, there's a chance they could be the two seed. What I would like to see these last three games is
continue to pound the rack, get that run game going, it is going to open up so much more for the offense. And if these guys can go into the playoffs feeling good, feeling confident working with each other in executing these plays, I think it's going to help out Jaylen a lot more. And with the way this defense is playing, that's this team could be very dangerous in the postseason if they stay true to that formula. So that's what I'm hoping to see. Dude, there's so much [ __ ] firepower over there, man.
Right. And a game like this, you see it all clicking, man. It just it shows you what you got, man. And and then you just build off of it. And it's uh it's crazy what uh what one game of putting it together can do, man. It can it can it can strike it up. There was a crazy stat out there that I don't know the specific stat, which I probably shouldn't be saying it if I don't know the specific stat, but uh basically after you uh you win a shutout game um the following week uh I think it's almost 50% of the teams lose that following week.
Oh, don't tell me this, Travis. I'm just saying it's a stat to maybe tell the boys, text the boys, hey yo, like
that's so weird. Why is that the case? Very weird stat. It might even be more than that
really. I think it was a staggering staggering number of of of teams that lose that following week. I think it kind of just it it makes you feel at ease. Maybe the game plan isn't as as crazy. Maybe the game plan isn't you know what I mean? Like whatever it is, whatever it may be, the guys uh or the team that you're playing is like, "Holy [ __ ] we got to get our [ __ ] together. We're playing this team that just [ __ ] embarrassed another team."
Yeah. All right. Good luck. Hopefully we uh we start changing that statistic a little bit better.
There you go. So to say. Yeah, there you go. We helped that. We want to next. Um but this is what Grank said about playing the Raiders, which is uh very very hilarious thing. Not very nice, but when you play the Raiders, it's like putting Neosporn on your cuts. They heal those wounds.
It is true. I mean the level of uh you know the level that the fans were at these last couple weeks and understandably you know the Eagles had not been performing well uh but then all of a sudden you play the Raiders who you know have won two games this year I believe it has a tendency to you know make you feel good again and um it's a great way to put it by Gron I think the Eagles are smart enough to know that you know this it was a great game but they still got to improve and get better but so much of playing well in the postseason is feeling good going into it.
Yeah, that's a big part. I think the the Eagles got some games here that they can feel good about. Hopefully, you know, they come out and put their best foot forward, they can enter the playoffs with some momentum. So, we'll see.
Well, Jaylen Herz 12 for 15, almost a perfect day. Um 175 yards, three ties before being replaced by Tanner McKe. Um and then, uh Jaylen quote after the game, he's always got one for us. Everybody needs to remember where I came from and how I'm built. All right. Now they
ain't messing around. He's been I'm sure he's been hearing all of the stuff talking about it in the media and I mean listen
it was a great bounceback game for him. Obviously the game before with the turnovers and everything very uncharacteristic of Jaylen Herz it's not been who he has been largely in the NFL but this is what I mean he's got 15 attempts like and if you would have played the whole game been more than that but they they did a great job of being a very balanced offense and that's what they need to be. They need to continue. Even even if it's not working, you got to stick with it because otherwise these guys just don't respect it. They don't respect the line of scrimmage.
They're getting into their zone drops easier. They're matching receivers right away. I came away this week and quite honestly last week, even though it didn't work out, we had the picks. I came away from last week feeling like this offense is is showing signs of going in the right direction. And
this proved that. Yeah. And and hopefully we got another game this coming week against the Commanders that'll show that a little bit more. There you go. Well, we got a LeBron stat of the game. Our guy at 37 years old and 255 days on top of those 37 years, Brandon Graham became the oldest player in Eagles history to record a sack in a game.
There we go. BG. Grandpa Graham. Grandpa Graham. Everybody's talking about Old Man Rivers. We got Grandpa Graham on the Eagles.
He's going to [ __ ] hate that I said that. Nah, BG don't hate nothing. He's the best. I feel like he had more than one, right? He had like two sacks. He had he had a great day. Yeah.
Yeah. He had two sacks. Yeah. Doesn't surprise me one bit, dude. He was He was balling. He was in very vintage form.
Who was the oldest before that? [ __ ] It might have been Brandon Graham. Yeah. I mean,
it was Gra. It was Brandon Graham at 36 years old. 255 days. It's always fun when you start breaking your own records for old age.
There you go. I don't know if that's true, though. Let's Um, well, you guys mentioned you guys played the Commanders on Saturday. Um, a little Saturday in December, baby. The those college games start uh kind of going away and all of a sudden, uh, NFL's played on Saturdays now, baby. Let's go, baby.
Uh, if the Eagles win or the Cowboys lose, the Eagles will become the first back-to back division winners in the NFC East in 20 years.
How crazy is that? That is mindblowing. Yeah, that is a competitive division. It's going to come to an end, too. I mean, it's absolutely bonkers. It's been 20 years since somebody repeated and um Yeah. Way to go, BIRDS. SUCK ON THAT, COWBOYS. What other games got flexed this week? How many? It's usually what, two or three games? I think it's two. Two games get flexed. At least two games get flexed this Saturday. And actually, I don't even know if that's they might even they might have even had this scheduled because now they just know when December comes that they're going to start flexing games.
I don't think it was scheduled cuz that's why they were surprised, right? Well, they're not the only game on Saturday. It looks like the Packers are playing the Bears later that evening. You guys do have the day game, though.
There we go. Little 2:00 game. That's such a weird time. I don't like it's Saturday.
I know. I get it, but I don't like start at weird times. It's also It's also could be West Coast because this is Brandon's computer.
That is West Coast. That's Brandon's computer. So that's a 5:00 start, which is still a weird time for a football game. I don't know that I like a 5:00. 1,4 or eight. Those are the time slots. We all know it.
Stop [ __ ] with me, NFL. You're so ridiculous. So what I'm reading is they flexed you guys out of the prime time Saturday and gave that to Packers Bears. Yeah. God. So they moved you to
the Eagles Commanders game would have been a very weird game to flex into a Saturday game like
Yeah. Yes. Yeah. All right. That's what was confusing. We figured it out live on air.
Perfect. All right. Well, yeah. Short week. Well, uh good luck to the birds, baby. Let's uh take our uh talents to the rest of the NFL and talk about some Philip RIVERS [ __ ] BACK, BABY. 44 years old, a grandfather, exactly 1,800 days since the last start. He went 18 for 27 for 120 yards, one touchdown, one interception against the Seahawks. Interception was the last play of the game. He's playing great. I I think everybody So, there are a lot of questions throughout the week. Everybody a lot of people were joking about it. A lot of people were like, "This shouldn't be happening." And um I think he gave them their best chance. I mean, that's the reality of it. They're playing the Seahawks, one of the best defenses in the NFL. This hasn't played for 5 years and he gave him an opportunity to win the game. They were winning the game when he to when he left the field. So what is it Leonard? Riley Leonard. Was he going to give him their best ch shot? What was Riley ever going to do against the Seahawks?
We'll never know. I mean I think we do though. We can only going to go out there and play that well. I don't think
we can only assume. A lot of people were assuming that Phil was going to go out there and get saw in half.
Yeah. I mean listen, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I expected him to play well or not. I was like, you know, I just can't wait to see it. I don't know what's about to happen.
Yeah. And that's the excitement of the NFL. We [ __ ] love this goddamn league.
He gets that ball out though. He did take some shots though. He took some shots.
It's the NFL. You get There's There's not a single game where a quarterback isn't going to take a shot.
Yeah. The one where the snap went high on him and he had to collect it. He got accordioned by about three Seahawks back there. I was like, "Come on, get up, Philip." Dude, that was a vicious one.
The old accordion tact. He literally pulled the cleats out of his trophy case. How about that? They're mounted up on the wall and he takes them up out.
He pulled out the old Johnny Unites and just said, "Fuck it. I'm going to go lace these leather things up."
That's hilarious. What a guy, man. High school team was cheering him on during the game. Let's take a look at this video.
But there is team St. Michael Catholic in Fair Hope, Alabama, having a watch party today.
And he had the best postgame speech I've heard in a while. I thought it was outstanding. You know, hopefully my sons and those ball players that I'm in charge of at the school, they'll say like, "Hey, crap. Coach wasn't scared."
Nice, man. There's more to the quote than what's what's here, too. You know, he's talking about, you know, you come in and you don't know. There's doubt in your head and having the courage to go out there and fight, right? Because the easy thing is just sit at the house, right? That's essentially what he's saying.
Easy choice would be, hey, I don't got to give it a shot. I'm I'm perfectly fine over here. I thought facing doubt, facing criticism, going out there playing the way he did, and the message that sends to the young men that he's in charge of in that area as well as his own family.
Incredible. And we forget a lot about what sports is about too often. And I think that this is a great reminder by Philip.
And Rivers was always that guy, man. [ __ ] courage through the [ __ ] world, you know? He's always been that guy that's played this game the right way, man. and uh no matter what the record was and no matter what the situation was. Um so I expected nothing less, but it's awesome to see him go out there and still be able to slang slain the old pig skiing around, baby. Unfortunately, they didn't get the win though.
Yeah, great job. Seahawks are a [ __ ] great good ass [ __ ] football team right now, though. I'm not going to lie. I saw that [ __ ] in the preseason. I started seeing some guys flying around. Sammy D is out there [ __ ] making it making it shake.
Jackson Smith and Jigba, dude. Obviously, he's got you got you get a guy that can get open on demand, man.
You still got to give him the ball. Look at Justin Jefferson, though. What he did with Justin Jefferson the year before, now Justin,
numbers haven't been as great for him this year, even though he's still probably the same player. And Jigba balling out, one common denominator, he's got Darnold throwing it to him.
There you go, baby. Um, what other retired player should get back out there? I was thinking about this. Who else would be like?
I mean, I know a guy still trying to prove his athleticism and trying to dunk. Travis, I can't bend my elbow. I got a loose body. This is I can't even touch my head right now cuz I got a loose body stuck in my [ __ ] elbow joint.
Well, go and get that [ __ ] cleaned out, Jason. Well, that's I'm trying to avoid surgery Travis.
Then we got to get some rehab going. Are we not rehabbing? There's not a rehab. There's just a piece of cartilage that's floating around in there and it's stuck in my joint. Oh, well yeah, Jason, you got to go and get that [ __ ] cleaned out.
I usually I can find it and then like push it out of the joint and that and it goes back to being fine. I can't do it right now. It's like stuck somewhere. I don't know if it's in the back or in the front, but it isn't leaving.
Well, go get MRI and figure I don't know. Anyway, it's not going to be me. What up? Who else? It's got to be a position that's not that physical, right,
dude? It's football. Aaron Donald, bring him back. Bring AD back. I He could do it. No doubt. No doubt about it.
Go on a Super Bowl run. A ad. No doubt about it. Who else could go do it? Who else could go do it? Feel like Fletcher Kos could still go in there and give some snaps if he wanted to. He's lost a lot of weight though.
He is. He's down. He's lost a lot of weight. He's doing good. He's doing good. How about uh how about our guy Big Whit? Big Whit.
Big Whit. I mean, that guy's made to protect the passer. Yeah. He gets out of his bed being an NFL tackle.
I think [ __ ] we talked about it before. [ __ ] [ __ ] Joe Thomas could go out there and play tight end right now.
Tight end. That dude is [ __ ] yoke. He is yolked. He is cut up. Little blocky tight end,
dude. 100%. Grank. Grank could. I think Grank could do it. He can give you He can give you a bunch of games for sure.
What about any other quarterback? Could Peyton Manning come up out of there? I don't know.
What's the oldest a quarterback could go? Had the neck stuff, man. Like Curt Warner. Get him back out there. You think he'd go out there and sling it a little bit? hurt.
I saw Dan Marino on the sideline. What's Dan these days? Dan Dan's probably not even interested.
He looks good, though. I'm just going to be honest, bro. Marino. He's probably still got a big glow to him. He's just He's just the
I think we need to We need to just see what's the oldest quarterback that could go out there and function in offense. Dri 64.
Dude, I'll tell you what, man. I went to Speaking of Kurt Warner, I went to Kurt Warner's uh his foundation event out in Arizona one year. Yeah.
And um he always has uh exNFL players, quarterbacks, uh guys that can throw the ball. Um he had he had me come in there and uh and we're the automatic we're the automatic QBs. So basically, you sign up for a team or you you draft your quarterback in a seven on seven game. And I was playing quarterback with a bunch of guys from I think it was the military
if I remember correctly. But either way, um, you know who was out there [ __ ] slinging it and looking like he was like large and in charge? Who?
Doug Fluty. Doug Fluty. Dude, Doug, I'm pretty sure Fluty still plays in like a men's like baseball league. He like surfs every day, dude. I'm dead ass serious, dude. Fluty is still like peak athleticism, dude. And he's still wired to like [ __ ] lead the boys to victory. I promise you, dude. feel like we should just go on like a old like quarterback's just giving it one one game just to see if they can make it through.
We already know a 44 year old can do it off the street, five years removed. Yeah.
What other quarterbacks are like in that age? Like trying to think of guys like
like older than older than 40 older than 44, younger than Dan Marino though. Um
like I just saw Ben Rothllessberger like John Kitna. John Kitna. Kid Kn was slinging around that that same tournament got the same like Drew Bledsoe.
Drew could I mean yeah of course Aman could Aman Troy he still looks good and in shape and and I don't know I don't know if he's still got the lively arm that see that's the thing man personally I feel like
Rivers was he was around his high school team. He was around you know he's out there he's around the game. He's still probably throwing the ball around, showing the quarterbacks the mechanics and and how to get the ball out and stuff like that. Like
he's got very unique mechanics. I don't think most guys are throwing the ball like you did.
I mean, it's still a [ __ ] live arm, you know what I mean? He's he's he's always he's never like not had that. So, I think uh I think he's kind of stayed around the game enough to do it. And I don't know.
I mean, Dilford Dilford was he was down there in uh what is it? UAB coaching. Gosh, who was I'm trying to think of like who was the wave before Payton? Joe Montana. Step out on the field for a second.
Joe Montana. Dude, have you ever met Montana? No. Smooth cat, dude. Oh my gosh. I was like, dude, this dude, he had the aura of like a movie star, man. Like he was just like the coolest dude I've ever met in my life, man. It was so fun.
100%. He could give you a game. Elway. Elway's still slinging it around. He's He's been around the game. He's been out there in uh in Denver as uh in the in the organization.
All right. See what he's got. Touchy subject. Yeah, we'll see. Let's move on here. We got some questions. Who's winning the NFC? That's that's a question. Um
man, it's really going to be the Rams or Seahawks. I don't know what all these other teams are doing in this list, right? Like
Yeah, I think Rams take it. I think Rams take it. They got a little bit more of a veteran feel to them right now. Even though the Seahawks are playing [ __ ] great. I'm pretty sure they if it ended today, they would have it, right?
The Rams would. Yeah. Yeah. I don't see them. Now, the Seahawks did the last time they played them, they lost barely, but Sam Darnold turned it over four times. So, like, you know, it'll be interesting to see who comes down out of that. But, I just I don't think it's going to be the Bears. I think the Bears are going to lose some of these games coming down the stretch. AF NFC North is going to beat the crap out of each other. 49ers. I I think what Cal Shanahan's done in that staff this year with all the injuries has been incredible, but no, I think it's the Rams and Seahawks in that division this year. Packers just lost Parsons, which I think they're still a good team, but Parsons was the guy that I mean, they went out and paid. They knew they needed a piece like that to be, you know, a four down rush team and do all the interesting stuff in the back end that Halfley likes. And now they're going to potentially have to blitz a little bit more and mix it up to generate the pressure. Or Rashan Garry's going to have to start playing like Micah Parsons, which he's had a great season, but a lot of that is because he's been out there with Micah Parsons. I I mean, I I think the Rams are the best team right now in the NFC. Eagles are right there. I think they're going
to keep playing better and I do think they're going to be formidable in these playoffs. The Bears, Ben Johnson, as these guys roll in. What do you think of the Bears?
I love watching them, man. There's some of those teams where you could just see I don't know, man. I I just I love watching teams that have Eric Benemy as their coach.
Eric Bene on the Bears. [ __ ] yeah, baby. I didn't know that. Yeah, he's a running back. He's over there, dog. There's just something. And then my guy Joe Tuni. I just there's so much familiarity over there just from those guys and obviously hanging out with the the tight ends and
um they got a young guy in Coulson. They got a they got a [ __ ] veteran in Colt.
I love watching the scheme. I mean, it is so creative and I just feel like they're they're a few pieces away, it feels like.
Yeah, but you never know. All right, who else? Packers. I think that's about it. But we do get to see the Seahawks and Rams play this Thursday. So, there'll be some implications on how that NFC and definitely the NFC West uh plays out um here late in late in December, baby.
Do we need to get back to dangerous halftime shows? or halftime shows getting too [ __ ]
I just want to get back to exciting halftime shows. It doesn't even have to be dangerous.
That kind of goes in with it. But I hear you. I mean, yeah, dangerous is inherently exciting, but there's other ways to make it exciting. Like, I just If I have to see another dog catching a [ __ ] Frisbee, I am going to blow my brains out.
Yeah. No, I hear you. Where is the creativity? I respect the fun, but why is it at the NFL halftime show? That's like a a college deal. It's a timeout thing.
If there was one of them, it would be really cool. Or if the dog jumped over like a flaming bridge, I'd be all in. But it's just it's not that exciting to me. Like I can go to any park and watch some [ __ ] play catch with a Frisbee and his dog.
Why does he got to be a [ __ ] Did you see the the Broncos uh mutton busting halftime show?
I did not. Let's see it. Let's check it out. Let's see it. Let's see what this is about.
Do you know what mutton is, Travis? Nope. Mutton is sheep meat. Oh, this is hilarious.
Wow. He's trying to ride it. Yeah. See how far I can go. See, this is what I'm talking about. This is new. This is creative. This is interesting. I've never seen a anybody ride a sheep.
Yeah. See how long you can last. I'm all in on this. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
No, I'm out. You don't think it's exciting to watch a little kid ride a sheep for as long as possible?
Not for the NFL halftime show. No, I think it's good. Oh man, I am completely This is This is It's exactly the [ __ ] dog Frisbee thing.
The dog frisbee thing would be fine if I had never seen it. It's just that it's been done so much. Do something new. Do something creative. That's why that's why this is interesting to me.
People are making a living. They're going around stadium to stadium selling this.
I know. And I'm saying it's that's that's what that's why it's not good. This is what I'm talking about. Did you see this?
Did I? Yeah. The first NFL halftime show of all time. You signing up for that or what?
I'm not doing it. I'm too I'm probably too heavy for him. The most impressive thing about this entire thing isn't just the loop. It's how quick he stops. Like he's stopping once he's already around it. I already stopped that so quick. Look at how excited they are. I love this.
Yeah, they probably had never seen him do it before. They were all like, "We He doesn't practice it because it's very dangerous."
We'll see if he can nail it. Oh, he's still every time in practice. He almost broke his neck. We gave him a ne neck brace this time. Yeah. See how he's got the lean forward? He's probably leaned back one time and [ __ ] offed himself.
I just think we can be more creative with the halftime shows. You did it, man. You [ __ ] did it, dude. I knew you could do it.
I'm all in on this. What is this? The 70s. 1970. You right. So good. Let's bring the creativity up on halftime shows. NFL. All right.
Shout out to those mutton busting kids, man. I don't like [ __ ] on kids unless they deserve it. And they didn't deserve that. So, I'm sorry.
But lamb lamb is meat from lambs, right? Baby sheep. Yeah. Yeah. Mutton is the meat of a fully grown sheep.
Why have we all never had mutton? Well, in some countries they do eat mutton. Some actually shepherd's pie traditionally made with mutton. Now we use beef because there's a lot more cowos. They probably still eat mutton a lot of places. I've had
a pie man myself. So tacos with Cam Scatteraboo. Jason, you got out of the house eating tacos in LA and then got called out by the taco king himself.
Who did I get? Oh, yeah. Well, I didn't get called out. Maybe. No, we gave him a shout out because the way the taco was made out there in LA at uh Marisos Haliscoco was uh it was like it was flat and sideways and deep fried, which I never had a shrimp taco with a corn tortilla that was deep fried. Oh my god.

All righty. Before we hand out some stamps, we'd like to give a big shout out to our partners, DRAFTKINGS, PIX.
WOO! WOOHOO! We're nearing the end of the regular season and every team is fighting to earn their spot. We've got some big matchups this week. Let's talk about some of Colts Patriots Ravens Eagles Commanders Ram Seahawks Packers Bears Bucks Panthers Jags Broncos. Who are we most excited for, boys?
Oo, Jake, go first. I know you've rehearsed this. You want me to go first? I did not rehearse.
You rehearsed this. Go ahead. Go ahead. These are completely off-the- cuff takes but
I have two thoughts. I think so. Right away, you have two thoughts. Two thoughts. Right. Right away, off the cuff after hearing that list of game, two thoughts. First is Bucks Panthers. Like I thought that division would have been decided by now. They've got two games against each other in the next like 3 weeks, but whoever wins this one I think is going to have the leg up going obviously into the repeat matchup. So Bucks Panthers to decide the division. That's my number one game. The second game bit of a wild card, but Patriots Ravens for a couple reasons. One, I would be very shocked if the Ravens ended up out of the playoffs. And I think if they don't win this game, they very well could be left out of the dance.
It's wild. Yeah. The other thing too is just again I I relate everything back to being a Jets fan. I would love for the Patriots to not get the number one overall seed. So I'm really really really pulling for the Ravens in this.
Are you shocked to see a rebuild take less than 25 years? I didn't know that's not supposed to be possible. This is all like you can just actually put together a good team pretty quick. That's not really that hard. must be a well functioning organization.
A good coach and draft a good quarterback apparently. Yeah. Uh I'm going to go I'm I'm going to say honestly the the game I'm most excited for is Thursday. Rams Seahawks. I feel like there's just
that number one seeds up for grabs and like division opponents on a short week is pretty wild to me. But I'm going to watch the Niners Colts. I'm going to watch whatever Philip Rivers does. I've never been more excited for a player. Uh that's a phenomenal storyline this year. No doubt.
He only chose to come back against the best defenses for some reason. So, I'm pumped for my boy.
He did, right? He's like, Seahawks, ners, ners are not the best defense. They're up there. They're not bad. They're okay. Jason Kelsey with some takes
there. There was also that rumor that uh had the ners beaten the Eagles the year that Brock Party's arm like got hurt in the NFC Championship that Shanahan was going to call Philip Rivers to have him play the Super Bowl.
Wow. I want to see like Shanahan's mind against River's mind. That'll be a fun matchup.
Ooh. Well, well done, boys. Definitely Rams, Seahawks Packers Bears. Yeah. None of these other games are that intriguing to me. No Eagles commanders. Bucks Panthers is super uh important to see who makes it out of that division. I just they both are I don't think they're going to be uh
Jags. Jags Broncos could have some juice cuz that's I mean I I still just question the Broncos and I want to see if the Jags are it against that defense.
All of these games are actually awesome. I'm going to take that back. They're all awesome.
There you go. But no, Ram Ram Seahawks very much interested in watching that on a Thursday.
Packers, Bears, Bucks, Panthers, it matters. I I'm so I'm such a huge fan of Baker and Todd Bulls, but they just haven't played great. A lot of that's from injuries, but yeah, it's an important game.
Big weekend. Great weekend of football. There's been a lot of weeks of pretty crappy games. This is a outstanding loaded week.
