Trip to Buffalo: On the Road with Cover Zero

• The Adventure

  • The hosts are excited for their first on-the-road NFL Cover Zero episode, traveling from Kentucky through Ohio and Pennsylvania to Buffalo for the Bills vs. Bucs game. (02:10)
  • Billy: “A Bills game has been high on my sports bucket list for a long time...I want to see Mafia in full speed." (03:09)

• Travel Banter & Credentials

  • The crew teases those lacking passports, foiled plans for a hop into Canada, and border crossing misadventures. (04:10–04:44)
  • It’s their first time with actual NFL press credentials, and Matt notes, “They approve your credentials a lot faster when you’re with the NFL…Thirty seconds, you’re in." (05:35)

• Hopes for the Trip

  • They hope to run into (and possibly prank) broadcaster Ian Eagle in the booth. (06:23)

  • On the experience: "We’re not gonna fit in with these people...we’re gonna be trying to break into Ian Eagle and J.J. Watt's booth." (71:10)

Top NFL Stories & Crew Commentary

Billy brings a "top 10" list of big stories from around the league, sparking wide-ranging (and hilarious) conversations.

1. Giants Fire Brian Daboll [10:03]

• Giants let go of coach Daboll (2022 Coach of the Year), keep GM Joe Schoen after a 20-40-1 record and a disastrous season following QB injuries.
• Matt: “Not a shock...the only reason you would have kept Day Ball is...he helped develop Josh Allen.”
• The group debates how hands-on owners should be, referencing Jim Irsay and the Bears' owner as examples of too much vs. too little involvement. (11:06–15:44)

Notable Exchange [15:44]

• Billy: “If I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m just removing myself and then blaming everyone.”
• Matt: “I think I’d be very involved, but I would not pick the seventh round pick.”
  This leads into a broader discussion on choosing QBs in the draft, owners meddling, and fan perception.

2. Player Diva Drama: A.J. Brown (Eagles) Speaks Out [20:06]

• A.J. Brown, while playing Madden on Twitch, calls the Eagles offense "a bleep show" and tells fantasy owners to "get rid of me." (20:35)
• Billy: "He has to be the NFL’s leading diva right now. And I say that with love." (21:41)
• The hosts riff on the phenomenon of player podcasts/streams causing more headlines than actual media interviews.
  Matt: “Does anyone ever say anything intellectual on a Twitch stream?” (20:15)

3. Matthew Stafford Reaches .500 Record in 17th Year [28:26]

• Stafford finally evens his career record at 115-115-1 as he becomes an MVP contender. (28:30)
• The crew riffs on his longevity and career arc: “Has he ever won the MVP before?...there might be kind of a lifetime achievement award to this a little bit.” (29:57)
• Long-running bits about milk, 90s teen idols, and the secret to Stafford's marriage add comic relief. (29:34–35:56)

4. Drew Brees Joins Fox, NFL Announcer Rankings [36:13]

• Brees makes his Fox debut, joins the broadcast crew with Tom Brady.
• Matt: "He's an example of why you can't just completely dismiss an announcer when they start..." (36:31)
• Spirited debate about the best NFL color commentators: Greg Olsen, Chris Collinsworth, J.J. Watt, Troy Aikman, and Tony Romo get shout-outs and some gentle roasting. (37:40–39:56)

5. CJ Stroud Out, Davis Mills In (Texans) [41:24]

• Stroud is concussed, so former starter Davis Mills gets the nod against the Titans.
• The hosts, especially Billy, darkly joke Mills will probably have a big game: "I think they're going to win." (42:05)

6. NFL Goes Global – International Series & Halftime Star [47:56]

• The last international game of 2025 is in Madrid: Commanders vs. Dolphins, with Daddy Yankee performing at halftime.
• Matt: “I’m not calling anyone Daddy Yankee.” After some research, they realize Daddy Yankee is a reggaeton legend best known for "Gasolina." (48:06–49:16)
• Brief detour into why Spain would be Matt's dream country: "Spain is my favorite country...just the whole vibe. Take naps in the afternoon." (50:51)

7. 49ers vs Cardinals – Marvin Harrison Jr. Out After Appendicitis [52:57]

• Arizona will miss star rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., who undergoes appendectomy.
• The group ponders the human appendix (“What does your appendix do?”) and why “gut health” became trendy. (53:13–55:03)

8. Jaire Alexander Steps Away from Eagles (Mental/Physical Health) [60:42]

• Eagles recently traded for CB Alexander, but he steps away for health reasons after just one week.
• Matt shows empathy: "If something's happening where you don't feel like you can be at your best, good to step away and go take care of it." (61:01)

9. Jameis Winston to Start for Giants [61:46]

• QB Jackson Dart remains in concussion protocol, so Jameis Winston (noted for his entertaining pressers and unpredictability) gets the start.
• Billy: “He is very entertaining and the video of him at the press conference was excellent. Singing Hamilton!” (62:08–62:14)

10. Playoff Picture & Picks [65:32]

• Laquan and Billy run through the AFC/NFC playoff seedings as of this week (65:37), with the Chiefs on the outside looking in, making for "crazy" implications ("Big game for the Chiefs," says Matt at 66:31).
• Survivor League, Touchdown Game picks, and rules for the crew in the press box in Buffalo are discussed with irreverent predictions and strict limits on fan behavior. (67:17–71:53)
• Matt lays down rules: "You cannot wear team gear in the press box..." (71:16)
• Billy prepares his “Billy Rutledge, NFL” media persona for the locker room. (72:43)

It is week 11 of NFL Cover Zero. Matt Jones and Drew Franklin on the precipice of our trip this weekend to Buffalo for Buffalo and Tampa Bay. We are taking off from Kentucky on what will be certainly a beautiful drive up through Akron, Cleveland, Erie, Pennsylvania. Some people call it America's most beautiful highway to Buffalo. Drew, are you excited for the first time NFL Cover Zero goes on the road?

[Billy Rutledge]

I am very excited. Always enjoy going on road trips with you guys anyway. But a Bills game has been high on my sports bucket list for a long time. I even said that on the show. You did, too, before we even knew this was a possibility earlier in the season. So I am fired up to get out there. I'm a big tailgater. I want to see Mafia and in full speed. I'm looking forward to being a part of it.

[Michael F. Florio]

Whether. Doesn't look like it's going to be too bad. I mean, we wondered about that going through. Obviously, the game's going to be fun. Two great teams. Billy gets to see his Tampa Bay Bucks. I get to see my football crush, Josh Allen. But more importantly, have you ever made that drive before between Akron, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo?

[Billy Rutledge]

You and I have been to Buffalo, but I think we were coming from a completely different area.

[Michael F. Florio]

So, no, I haven't done. This is one of the few major roads in America I've never been on. I've been up to Cleveland, but Cleveland to Buffalo, you go along the lake.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

You get the lake effect snow. You get Lake Erie.

[Billy Rutledge]

Canada's right there.

[Michael F. Florio]

Canada, you can, like, you. You can spit, although I think that'd be rude, but you could spit and it would go into Canada. I would like to take you all to Canada, but not one, but two of you do not have a passport, which is crazy to me.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, that's my bad.

[Michael F. Florio]

It's your bad. I mean, you realize. You don't realize how close we are to Canada there. And we're not going to get to go. I might go and leave you.

[Billy Rutledge]

We might go get poutine and come back.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, we might go and leave you.

[Laquan Jones]

Well, I know you've had issues at the border between Canada.

[Michael F. Florio]

I have. I've been stopped at the Canadian border twice, but I feel like third time's a character.

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm banned from a stadium in Canada.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's true. Also a problem. But we can leave you in Buffalo and then go cross Niagara Falls to Toronto. But I am looking forward to it. We're talking about maybe staying Saturday night. Erie, Pennsylvania, which is. People say what happens in Erie is not talked about. Not because it's scandalous, because no one wants to, but. But it should be fun. And we have press. It's the first time we've had NFL press credentials. How about that?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, we've. We've had fun covering a lot of sporting events, but I've never been able to go to an NFL game. I guess we'll probably jump right in, do the interviewing. Like we're just one of the regular beat reporters around there. I'll do a little working from the press box. Whatever. Whatever we're allowed to do.

[Michael F. Florio]

I want Tony Romo game or Tom Brady. Do I get to see one of those guys?

[Laquan Jones]

I'll look it up.

[Michael F. Florio]

Now, do you know who the announcers are?

[Billy Rutledge]

We'll look that up.

[Michael F. Florio]

Be funny if our friend Ian Eagle was there. I will say this. They approve your credentials a lot faster when you're with the NFL. Usually if I ask for credentials to an event like this, they call me. Go. Who are you? Why do you want to come here? Kentucky's not playing right this time. 30 seconds. You're in.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah. Got that approval, like, almost instantly. They were very precise about their headshots. That took a little. I even had to, like, redo it. So I. They want to make sure you're looking good on that pass.

[Michael F. Florio]

Headshot. Do not face to the left. I'm like. But that's my best side. Look, see, watch. Look at me right now on the video. Now go see why couldn't. I wanted to. You see why I wanted to do that.

[Billy Rutledge]

Should be your credential.

[Michael F. Florio]

Just me. Just me moving. Well, they didn't let me do that. But we're. Look, we're looking forward to the trip.

[Laquan Jones]

And Eagle.

[Michael F. Florio]

And Eagle. Yeah.

[Billy Rutledge]

Let's not tell them. Let's just walk up behind him.

[Michael F. Florio]

So I'm going to be there.

[Laquan Jones]

And jj.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, I don't know jj, but Iron's my buddy. Maybe we can go out Saturday night with.

[Billy Rutledge]

I. Yeah, he's going to talk about credential stuff. Why are you all here? He. That he's going to hit us at. What the hell are you all doing?

[Michael F. Florio]

Dude, that would. That would be really funny if we did not. The problem is we probably can't get in the booth. But if we didn't even tell him. Slid up and just walked behind him and gave him like a noogie or.

[Billy Rutledge]

A Collinsworth slide right in a chair up next to him.

[Michael F. Florio]

That would be the. What are you doing here?

[Billy Rutledge]

He could be listening to prepare for the big NFL weekend.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, I am. We'll see you on Sunday for Buffalo and Tampa. If you're in Buffalo, come say hi to us. I can't tell you where. Billy, do you have a bar yet for us to do the show?

[Laquan Jones]

Yes, after the game.

[Michael F. Florio]

Don't say it yet.

[Laquan Jones]

Okay.

[Michael F. Florio]

Because we don't know for sure that's the place. You don't want everybody going there.

[Laquan Jones]

I've been making calls, though, so we will be ready.

[Michael F. Florio]

What do you say to the people when you come? There's a mainstream NFL podcast that would like to be in your building.

[Laquan Jones]

I was dropping the NFL like it was my job.

[Michael F. Florio]

Like, how? What do you say?

[Laquan Jones]

Hey, this is Billy Rutledge. I'm with iheartradio and the NFL and we're looking to collab.

[Michael F. Florio]

You felt. You felt confident enough to say you were with the NFL?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, I mean.

[Billy Rutledge]

I mean, I'm looking at the logo right behind him on MTV Trail.

[Michael F. Florio]

That feels very confident to say you are with the NFL. I mean, that would be only, like, if there was an NFL organizational chart. I think it's fairly certain you're at the very bottom.

[Laquan Jones]

But on the list.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, you're not. Not with the NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

But I wouldn't say you're with the NFL either. I think that's a stretch. Maybe I'm doing something for the NFL.

[Laquan Jones]

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

[Billy Rutledge]

I. I put NFL Network in my Instagram biofit network.

[Michael F. Florio]

Come on.

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't have a bio. I just tag every account. Ksr, ks, bar, all the stuff we do. And I just added NFL Network to the bottom.

[Laquan Jones]

Sneaking that in.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. Well, today I spoke at the university here in KE and they asked me to do my bio, and I was like, kentucky sports radio, ESPN radio, blah, blah. And then the professor goes, how about the NFL? And I was like, I don't know if I feel comfortable. That'd be like me just adding Netflix because I was on it once.

[Laquan Jones]

Oh, good call. Documentary star.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, all right. So you say I'm with the. Not with. I'm from the NFL.

[Laquan Jones]

No, I'm with the NFL. And we're looking to collab with a local sports bar. We'll be able to give you some free promotion on a national show.

[Billy Rutledge]

Billy, Roger, Phil.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. All right. Well, hopefully we'll have some success. We're looking forward to it. And Erie, if you're in Erie, if you have a suggestion of what we can do in Erie. 772-77-4-5254. The text machine let us know where do you eat in Erie, you know, what is there to do?

[Billy Rutledge]

Where's the party?

[Michael F. Florio]

Where is the party in Erie?

[Billy Rutledge]

We've had many random nights in Pennsylvania towns that aren't Pittsburgh or Philly. We've had a good time.

[Michael F. Florio]

I've never been. We've never been up there like that little corner.

[Billy Rutledge]

But that state never lets us down when we pop in their random towns.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's true. All right, this is our midweek show, so we're going to try to get the news. Billy has come up with what he believes are the top 10 NFL stories this week. These are in no particular order. Right. This is not like in order of how important you think.

[Laquan Jones]

Correct.

[Michael F. Florio]

So these are just randomly random NFL stories. Billy, I'm going to let you go and we're going to do some commentary on. Let's go.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah. The first one is the Giants decided to fire head coach Brian Dabel. They kept their GM, but Brian is out after a 20, 40 and one record as head coach. He was coach of the year his first season in 2022. But with Jackson Dark and another poor start to the season, Brian Dable is out in New York.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. Not a shock. I mean, I think he probably. He probably got fired the moment Jackson Dark got that concussion. Right. Because, I mean, the only reason you would have kept Day ball is the idea because, you know, he helped develop Josh Allen in Buffalo is that you go, okay, well, maybe he can do it with Jack Dart. Then once he's out with the concussion, there's probably not a lot of reason to rush Jackson Dart back. So you say, why am I doing this with Day Paul? Right.

[Billy Rutledge]

And it seemed like they were heading for this in the beginning of the year with Russell Wilson just chucking it out of the stadium every time he got a chance. But then the. The rookie combo of Dart and Scatter Boo brought some swag. They got a few unexpected wins, got some life in that fan base. But then that with those two out, they've gone right back to dead and just. They needed to make the change.

[Michael F. Florio]

The Bears knocked them out, too. I mean, the Bears were. They're up two scores against the Bears. They blow the game, have a chance at the end. Russell Wilson looks like Drew out there playing quarterback at the end. It is odd to me, though, they kept the gm and maybe it's because of Hard Knocks. I sort of associate those two at the hip, you know, and the fact that they kept one and not the other. And I would assume that means they're keeping Joe Shane during the off season. Like there would be no reason not to fire him now if you're going to keep him at the end of the year.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah. And it shows how close it was and people thought might have happened because every story I read, it's like very intentional in the headline, you know, coach fired, kept gm. They were, they make, they're making that point because a lot of people assume that they both would go about the same time.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do you think they said to the gm? Yeah. I mean, was it, I don't know, was it like you have to fire him or else you're gone? I mean, I don't, I never understand who makes these decisions. Like in theory it should be the gm, but if you also might lose your job, I guess it's the president, right?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah. Or the owner right over your shoulder that doesn't like what the GM's doing.

[Michael F. Florio]

He seems very involved from Hard Knocks Mara. Like he was in the, he's in the draft room and stuff, so.

[Billy Rutledge]

But they had an incredible draft. I think that's probably why the GM stayed. I mean they got Abdul Carter at 3 or whatever and then you scatter.

[Laquan Jones]

Boo.

[Billy Rutledge]

Looks like he panned out.

[Michael F. Florio]

And then darts and dart.

[Billy Rutledge]

Dart was a gamble. You know, everybody was talking Shador in that spot. So I guess with the gm you're like tough to fire him after the draft.

[Michael F. Florio]

He had really good point. He did have a really good draft. If you were the owner of a team, would you be involved? Like let's say Drew Franklin gets to own the Titans. How much are you involved in the day to day decisions?

[Billy Rutledge]

I would want to for a little bit, but I would also recognize like quickly if I'm not good at it, I would get out of the way. There's a lot of owners that can't look in the mirror and realize that they're, you know, doing too much, not capable of it and they just mess things up. I would be in the room for a few days, few weeks and if I realize I'm in over my head, like, all right, I'm getting out of the way. I'll be in my suite watching you all bring me a good team.

[Michael F. Florio]

See, I worry I'd be really involved.

[Billy Rutledge]

You would be very involved.

[Michael F. Florio]

Like the her say I would be very involved. You don't know that well.

[Billy Rutledge]

We watch you see people at our restaurant on live radio. So we know you like to be very involved.

[Michael F. Florio]

You know what, I knew you were going to say that. I knew you were going to be a jerk and I knew you were going to say that but you're right. I do do that. Um, yeah, I don't know. Because I would definitely want to know, okay, why are you doing this? But I would probably let them make the decision. So I don't think I would be Jerry Jones. But I also would do something right. Like, what was the point of buying the team unless I can?

[Billy Rutledge]

I would want to be liked by my fans. And there are a lot of owners whose fans do not like them because their hands are too involved. Team's not good.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, how do they think you're cheating? What would you do to be liked?

[Billy Rutledge]

Stay out of the way when things.

[Michael F. Florio]

Aren'T going well, then when they're bad, they're going to blame you anyway. Like, you're going to get. It's. It's like, again, you use example, the restaurant. If somebody comes to the restaurant and has a bad meal, they blame me even though I didn't cook it. So shouldn't I try to make sure as much as I can, it's cooked well?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, I guess. Owning the team, though, if I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just removing myself and then blaming everyone. I'm like, I'm in my suite having fun with my friends.

[Michael F. Florio]

I hope we have a stoner.

[Billy Rutledge]

That's probably what I would do. Okay, now you asked me the question. Yeah, that's probably what I would do. I would not want to be Jerry with my hand on everything.

[Michael F. Florio]

It's interesting. So the owner, like the Bears owner, is an old lady. McClusky, McCluskey, McCluskey, McClusKey. Anyway, she's beloved. She's, like, in her 80s, and I think people know she's not. She didn't select Caleb Williams, and the Bears haven't been particularly good. So maybe that's what you want to be. You need to be the little old lady in her pearls.

[Billy Rutledge]

I will happily be a little old lady. Now, if we have the number one pick or something. Hey, I'm getting in there, and I'm.

[Michael F. Florio]

So you are going to be.

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm listening. But if I have a quarterback I love or something, I'm going to have a little influence. I would not override everyone, but I would be in the room, like, hey.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay, so that's the question. All right, so it's Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels, and you're the Bears, and you own the Bears, and you've seen both these guys play, and they say, I want to pick Jaden Daniels. But you really believe Caleb Williams is better. Like, you really believe it. What Are you doing?

[Billy Rutledge]

This is easy. I look at him, I say, look, I really like Caleb Williams. I'd love to see him in my uniform. But I hired you all to make these decisions. If you go the other way, that's fine. But you will be quick to the unemployment office if it doesn't work out.

[Michael F. Florio]

How you going quick to the unemployment.

[Billy Rutledge]

Office like I'm letting you do it, but just know that I have this in mind. But it's all on you. And if it works, I'm putting the credit on you.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay. In that case, you could have made a case for both of them. What if it was somebody like Anthony Richardson that you knew you and I knew when he was in Florida, he was a bust. And they come to you and say, we're picking Anthony Richardson? Are you vetoing it?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, I think I'd have to.

[Michael F. Florio]

I think I'd have to.

[Billy Rutledge]

Someone that I truly believe that will. They will not work out. I couldn't, you know, with my own money, let my GM go do it. But if it's closer, I tie goes the gm. But I'm putting all the credit either one way or the other on them.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay. Yeah, I think I would be very involved, but I wouldn't. I would not pick the seventh round pick.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, I'm not out there watching the lineman, not going to Mobile. But if we have the number one pick and there's like, some. Because that's your franchise, that's your marketing.

[Michael F. Florio]

That'S your whole thing.

[Billy Rutledge]

Be a little more active in that.

[Laquan Jones]

We've seen Jim Irsay's daughter really be involved. She's wearing a headset on the sideline.

[Michael F. Florio]

I don't know why that bothers people, because I actually think as long as she's on the sideline and she's not communicating, she's just listening. What is wrong with wanting to know what's happening? Again, to use the restaurant example, that would be like me sitting in the back and watching the cooks. Shouldn't I want to know how my restaurant is run, how my coaches do their jobs? Is that wrong?

[Laquan Jones]

No, I think it's a great idea. I just think the narrative would be different if they were.

[Michael F. Florio]

She's gotten a lot of criticism for that.

[Laquan Jones]

Some, yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

And I don't think that's fair. I think she. I think she should do that.

[Billy Rutledge]

She seems to be staying out of the way and just listening. Like, even you see her, she's off by herself. She's got a little notepad. You know, she's writing stuff down. She also did Something what I would do when I was talking about me being an owner when they were in Berlin, did you see she went to the bar full of Colts fans and picked up the tab?

[Michael F. Florio]

Just strolled in there.

[Billy Rutledge]

That's the kind of stuff I'd be doing.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's. As an owner. You come in and you go, okay, I got this for everybody.

[Billy Rutledge]

They're loving her, right? Players, fans. Of course, team being eight and two helps, but, you know, this is their first season doing all this, and they're loving her.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I think you do a lot of that stuff because. Because if you're that rich, you know, one $5,000 bar tab.

[Billy Rutledge]

I went to the Titans, played the Chiefs in the playoffs, and I made the trip. We weren't supposed to be in the game at all, so I had to go. And we had a Titans party, and the owner came in. She didn't bother around, but it was like everybody celebrated and she was going around meeting people, so she didn't buy anything, though. I don't remember her buying around.

[Michael F. Florio]

I didn't see my. I didn't have.

[Billy Rutledge]

But just. Just being in there, like, you're the road team, you're. You're the away team. You're outnumbered. It's like we're all in the same spot. And then ownership and the GM just roll in and start hanging out. That's pretty neat. I think I would do a lot of that if that were in their shoes.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, sorry to Brian Day Ball. He'll find an OC job. Somebody will. Somebody will hire him. Like, he's. He's had enough success at it. He'll.

[Laquan Jones]

He'll get well. There's rumors that the Bills might bring him back since they've been stagnant on offense and would make sense.

[Michael F. Florio]

He obviously has a good relationship with Josh Alle, so, you know, it's kind of like in oh, Brother, Where Art Thou? When he sees the. What's the guy's name that robs banks? Baby Face. He says, I don't think that's the last we've seen of old Baby Face Nelson.

[Billy Rutledge]

It's funny you bring that up. I might be watching that movie tonight.

[Michael F. Florio]

It's like, tonight, an excellent movie.

[Billy Rutledge]

I have that.

[Michael F. Florio]

I now have that in my top five of movies I really do like. In terms of rewatchable, I may have seen. If you're saying what movies? Matt Jones, and no one's saying this, but if they were, what are the five movies you've watched the most? Caddyshack is number one. Oh, brother. Where Art Thou might be number two. It's that or the Godfather.

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm married into an O Brother family. Anytime they're together, it's like, well, let's watch O Brothers. So that's become like a tradition. Even though I loved it when it first came out. Now I've seen it so many more times in the past few years.

[Michael F. Florio]

Was it big when it first. I don't remember. I think it's one. It's like office space. Another office space bombed when it came out and then got. It's huge. Like everybody knows office space now, but I don't think anybody watched it when it came out.

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't remember it being that big when it was out. I just remember catching with Clooney and the music and bluegrass kind of type stuff. Liking it. But yeah, it's one of the more rewatchable movies for sure. I'm not kidding. But I'm probably going to watch it tonight. We have dialed up.

[Michael F. Florio]

All right, what's next?

[Laquan Jones]

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. brown made some interesting comments over the weekend now with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was on a twitch stream playing Madden.

[Michael F. Florio]

Everybody's on twitch streams and they all say, does anyone ever say anything intellectual on a Twitch stream? It feels like every time the story starts, he was on a twitch stream. Then you get something that makes people mad.

[Billy Rutledge]

Do we need to be twitching, Mario? Should we be twitch streaming this?

[Michael F. Florio]

You act like I don't.

[Laquan Jones]

You act like Mario and I haven't talked about this already. We'll be doing that next summer.

[Michael F. Florio]

All right, go ahead.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, so he said in reference to the Eagles offense, it's a bleep show. I'm struggling. If you got me on fantasy, get rid of me. And then when reporters asked him about it today, he doubled down. And it said, it's not just solely about my situation. I want to win, too. I think if we're really focused on winning and doing our job, we can't just keep slapping a band aid over the defense doing their job and getting us out of trouble. At what point are we going to pick up the slack as an offense?

[Michael F. Florio]

Now, you would hear those quotes and you would think they're awful, but they're seven and two, right? So is he mad that he really thinks the offense is bad or is he mad that he's not getting the ball?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, there was. They had a couple of weeks, but that's since been fixed.

[Michael F. Florio]

They didn't score a lot to be fair against Green Bay, but they were.

[Billy Rutledge]

The Green Bay game wasn't as good. I don't know. Just. I like AJ Arthur Juan is what I call him, but he's got to be the NFL Arthur 1 Arthur 1 Arthur Juan Brown. He has to be the NFL's leading diva right now. And I say that with love. I feel like we've had six of these stories this season of him. Little comments here and there.

[Michael F. Florio]

What would do you think if they were 5 and 4 but he had his yards up? Do you think he would complain?

[Billy Rutledge]

Probably not. He says he wants to be a part of winning.

[Michael F. Florio]

But they're winning.

[Billy Rutledge]

I know. J. He says he wants the conversation to be winning. It's like, well, you're the one talking. Jalen Hurts said we have to stop shining light on all these stories.

[Michael F. Florio]

Pretty much like, well, I mean, they correct me if I'm wrong. They won the super bowl last year.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Billy Rutledge]

Defending champs.

[Michael F. Florio]

They are currently tied for first in the NFC this year, Correct?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yep.

[Michael F. Florio]

What does he want?

[Billy Rutledge]

The ball. Because he's a wide receiver.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah. He took a backseat to Saquon when saquon ran for 2,000 yards last year. So he thought this year was going to be his big year and just hasn't happened.

[Michael F. Florio]

So he was on a Twitch stream. What were they streaming?

[Laquan Jones]

Madden. They were playing Madden.

[Michael F. Florio]

Who's they? Who's he playing?

[Laquan Jones]

Whoever. The Twitch streamer that is hosting the stream.

[Michael F. Florio]

So you're telling me that like just some kids playing Madden.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

And then all of a sudden A.J. brown plays.

[Laquan Jones]

They're playing with A.J. yeah. And he's on the mic talking to.

[Michael F. Florio]

Them and he's streaming it?

[Laquan Jones]

I'm not sure. I don't think he is. I don't think he's the one hosting the stream. I think it was another person.

[Michael F. Florio]

So did they know each other before?

[Laquan Jones]

Don't know that either.

[Billy Rutledge]

It does seem most news comes from all the players having their own podcast or streaming a game. It's, you know, they say nothing to the media now and then they just go home and turn on the computer and say whatever they want.

[Michael F. Florio]

But why? What I don't understand is why don't they advertise that? Because I felt like if people knew that AJ Brown was playing like a 19 year old kid from South Korea, there would be people that would watch it, wouldn't they?

[Billy Rutledge]

I would probably watch it.

[Michael F. Florio]

Or do they advertise it and I just don't get to see it because I'm not watching those channels.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, I'm not sure. They probably would make some money, but they probably are just trying to relax a Little bit.

[Michael F. Florio]

Then why do they stream it?

[Laquan Jones]

They're not streaming. It's the person they're playing with.

[Michael F. Florio]

So why didn't they. Why don't they say, turn it off, kid? So yeah, you're telling me this was a random kid stream that somebody happened to be watching?

[Laquan Jones]

Well, probably a lot of people were watching because AJ was playing with.

[Michael F. Florio]

But how did they know AJ was playing?

[Laquan Jones]

Well, word gets around, right? You send a tweet out, AJ's on the stream, he's playing with us.

[Michael F. Florio]

Word gets around but didn't get to me.

[Laquan Jones]

Are you on the TikTok?

[Michael F. Florio]

I like how you said that. The TikTok I am, but it didn't come into my feed. AJ streaming here.

[Billy Rutledge]

Looks like he was playing with someone. Janky Rondo.

[Michael F. Florio]

Oh, I like Janky Rondo.

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't follow him enough. That's why we missed this.

[Michael F. Florio]

Is Janky Rondo famous?

[Billy Rutledge]

Looks like he does some.

[Michael F. Florio]

So he. He plays against famous people. Oh, Janky Rondo. That sounds like a nickname people had for people in Middlesbrough. Don't go. Don't get your car fixed. Don't. Janky Rondo's house.

[Billy Rutledge]

What a world, though. You're just a guy playing a video game. You bought a gamestop. But on the other end, you know, Pro Bowlers leaking news that goes all over the NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

You never know when you watch Janky Rondo what he's gonna do.

[Michael F. Florio]

Good Rasheed Rice was last season. In his three healthy games, he was the widers receiver. Two in fantasy.

[Billy Rutledge]

I think Rasheed Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on. A flip pass to Rice near side.

[Michael F. Florio]

Touchdown.

[Laquan Jones]

Ramandre Stevenson is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week.

[Michael F. Florio]

Drake takes the snap, hands it off for Madre. Running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown.

[Michael F. Florio]

What's next?

[Laquan Jones]

Matthew Stafford is in his 17th season in the NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

Crazy.

[Laquan Jones]

He's won a Super bowl and he's the favorite to win the MVP right now at plus 2, 260 odds. But the stat is that he just reached.500 for a winning percentage of his career. After 231 starts, he is now 115. 115 and 1.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's amazing because didn't he start out his first year he was like one in 15, right?

[Laquan Jones]

The Lions were bad.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, Well, I think his first year, they were literally maybe 1 in 15. So he probably had a big hole. Speaking of guy, doesn't his wife. Doesn't she stream?

[Laquan Jones]

She's a podcaster.

[Michael F. Florio]

What does she. She does like a Christian thing, right?

[Laquan Jones]

I'm not sure, but she's made news talking in the past.

[Michael F. Florio]

It was something like. She's like, everybody drink milk or something like that, isn't she?

[Billy Rutledge]

No, it's Jim Harbaugh.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay.

[Billy Rutledge]

She had a beef with somebody. It was another player.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

[Michael F. Florio]

A couple years ago she had a beef.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, there was some podcast beef.

[Michael F. Florio]

I'm so old. I remember when the picture of them dating went viral when he was in college.

[Billy Rutledge]

Georgia. Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

Look who. Matthew Stafford dates this sorority and now she's like, milk podcasting.

[Laquan Jones]

Where are you getting the milk stuff?

[Michael F. Florio]

Is it not milk?

[Billy Rutledge]

It's on Jackie Rondo. That's where we got to see it. I love the stat, though, that, you know, this long career. Got a Super bowl ring. My.

[Michael F. Florio]

Could be MVP. He's a Hall of Famer. Yeah.

[Billy Rutledge]

Just got to 500.

[Michael F. Florio]

Has he. Has he ever won the MVP before?

[Laquan Jones]

I don't think so.

[Michael F. Florio]

I don't think he has.

[Billy Rutledge]

So.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean, there might be kind of a lifetime achievement award to this a little bit.

[Billy Rutledge]

And as his career winds down. I know they're good, but he's got to be careful to get above 500 and stay there. You can't retire under 500 if you're Matthew.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do you think his career is winding down? I mean, these guys play forever now, right?

[Billy Rutledge]

He's got to be getting close to 40. But then again, Flacco and Rogers are still out there.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do you that trade between them and Detroit? Yeah, that's one of the very few Trades of high profile people. That kind of worked out for everybody, didn't it?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

Both quarterbacks, right?

[Billy Rutledge]

Well, Stafford was always good. He was just on a bad Lions team. So he finally got somewhere.

[Michael F. Florio]

He goes and wins the Super Bowl.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah. But then Jared Goff and the Lions, soon as he gets there, they're on the uptick and, you know, a contender this year. So it is one of the rare where it worked out both ways.

[Laquan Jones]

Kelly made news in 2024 when she revealed that she dated Matthew Stafford's backup quarterback at Georgia to make him jealous.

[Billy Rutledge]

I knew she was this big story.

[Michael F. Florio]

I did not hear that. Oh, yeah, I thought it was just milk. So what, what happened?

[Laquan Jones]

She dated Matthew Stafford's backup quarterback at the University of Georgia, Joe Cox, who she publicly apologized to.

[Michael F. Florio]

Why is she apologizing to Jo Cox?

[Billy Rutledge]

Well, she said, I don't want his identity to get out. And then she said he was Matthew Stafford's backup his senior year. It's like, well, we can figure that out pretty easily.

[Michael F. Florio]

She said she didn't want the idea.

[Billy Rutledge]

So then she never said his name. She just kind of was given clues of who it could be, but it was like, well, that has to be the backup quarterback.

[Michael F. Florio]

So she apologized to Joe Cox? Yes. Did she apologize to Matthew Stafford?

[Laquan Jones]

I mean, probably.

[Billy Rutledge]

They got kids now. They figured it out somewhere along the way.

[Michael F. Florio]

And so this came out.

[Billy Rutledge]

That's the moment I was thinking of.

[Michael F. Florio]

This came out on her milk podcast.

[Laquan Jones]

I don't know about the milk.

[Michael F. Florio]

You're right, though. She had a beef with somebody. I don't remember who it was, but she got into it with like Drew Brees aunt or something. I love.

[Billy Rutledge]

She has a milk podcast beef with Drew Brees's aunt.

[Michael F. Florio]

It was somebody. See, I, I, she, Drew is right.

[Laquan Jones]

She had a beef the morning after with Kelly Stafford.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's a very seductive name, isn't it?

[Laquan Jones]

Yes. They're dropping stories.

[Michael F. Florio]

Morning after. Is that on the NFL Network when.

[Billy Rutledge]

You drink your milk?

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay, well, would you bet? Would you vote for him for MVP right now?

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't know what you're about to ask me because I was thinking podcast and milk. Anything Drew Brees and would.

[Michael F. Florio]

She's a nice lady.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, no, completely. I don't, I don't want to let the Patriots fans win, but if they don't start losing games, Drake May is going to be your MVP.

[Michael F. Florio]

No. Or Taylor, you give it to the 17th year guy instead of the set. He's got plenty of time.

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't disagree.

[Michael F. Florio]

What if he ends up stinking. And then you're like, remember that year we gave it to Drake Bay?

[Billy Rutledge]

And we all laugh.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah.

[Billy Rutledge]

I saw Jonathan Taylor's about to hit the. Hit the triple crown of yards per carry, touchdowns and total yards. Or not about to. He's on pace to.

[Michael F. Florio]

To win all three of them and.

[Billy Rutledge]

That hasn't been done in forever. Maybe. I think maybe Terrell Davis or somebody did it. So if he were to do that and the Colts still be good, that'd be hard.

[Michael F. Florio]

I'd like to see him win just because running backs don't ever win.

[Billy Rutledge]

I know. I always wanted Henry or the years Henry were so spectacular. I want him to be in the conversation.

[Michael F. Florio]

Is it weird that every time I'm watching a game they say Jonathan Taylor? I just want to say Thomas, go back, Tom.

[Billy Rutledge]

Improvement.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's good. It's a good home experiment.

[Billy Rutledge]

Hey, I've been rewatching it lately.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean, he. He was a like teen idol.

[Billy Rutledge]

He was. He was a teen.

[Michael F. Florio]

Bop. Tiger Beat.

[Billy Rutledge]

Tiger Beat and Team Bop. Those were the two.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. Doesn't know about Tiger Beach. You don't know that era.

[Billy Rutledge]

There was nothing more intimidating than, you know, the elementary, middle school dating scene. If you ever were lucky enough to even go in their home because you're young, probably shouldn't be doing that. You go in there and there's just posters of JTT everywhere and you see them like, what am I supposed to do against that?

[Michael F. Florio]

It would interesting. Be interesting to see a hall of fame of Tiger Beat. So first ballot, New Kids on the Block and like NSYNC and Backstreet Boys that they would be first ballot.

[Billy Rutledge]

I've got a deep cut. Embarrassed. I'm going to say it.

[Michael F. Florio]

Kirk Cameron, he's on there. He was big. Let me. I'm gonna do Mart, Paul Gosselar and Mario Lopez. And then JTT is on there for sure.

[Billy Rutledge]

I think he's like the face of that era.

[Michael F. Florio]

Of that era. But I think you go back to New Kids on the Block, they were right there too. Okay, so who else would you add to the Tiger?

[Billy Rutledge]

There was a guy who's in a bunch of movies and he just disappeared. Is there Andrew Keegan, something like he has like pulled back hair?

[Michael F. Florio]

That's not a problem.

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm going to pull him up. You're going to know as soon as I show it. He was in all the teen movies.

[Michael F. Florio]

I think you're making that up.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yep, that's his name. Got him right here on the COVID of Tiger Beat too.

[Michael F. Florio]

He's on the COVID of Tiger with jtt. No, he's not. Side by side. No, he's not.

[Billy Rutledge]

Look, it says JTT and Andrew.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, all right, let's look. Andrew Keegan.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yep.

[Michael F. Florio]

Oh, yeah, I remember.

[Billy Rutledge]

He just fell off the grid. He was in everything for a few years.

[Michael F. Florio]

He was in 10 Things I Hate about you. Also a movie called. He was in some bad movies. Teenage Caveman Returns.

[Billy Rutledge]

Was that a sequel?

[Michael F. Florio]

I don't. He must have been because I don't think he was there to begin with. I just want to see, because, you know, the Internet has everything. Has anyone ever made a Tiger Beat hall of Fame? Okay, No, I mean, because listen, if that's. If that happened, I would be impressed. Tiger.

[Billy Rutledge]

If not, we're gonna do it.

[Michael F. Florio]

Oh, this is Detroit Tigers hall of Fame. What does Tiger woods need to do to go to the hall of fame?

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm on oprah.com it has 45 years of tiger Beat covers. It's the closest I can get.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, oh, here's some old ones. There's. Oh, these are really old. Oh, here's a good one. Scott Baio.

[Billy Rutledge]

Oh, yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do you know who Scott Baio is?

[Laquan Jones]

No. No.

[Michael F. Florio]

Charles. In charge of our days and our lives. We're straying a little bit from football on this week's episode. Just a little bit. What's next?

[Billy Rutledge]

Tiger Beat covers.

[Laquan Jones]

A name that you guys already mentioned. Drew Brees is joining Fox Sports's NFL coverage. He will be debuting in the Green Bay Packers New York Giants game on Sunday, threw for over 80,000 yards and 571 touchdowns over 20 seasons, and will now join Tom Brady and Greg Olson on the network.

[Michael F. Florio]

He's an example of why you can't just completely dismiss an announcer when they start. Because if you remember, his first game was just atrocious. He kind of looked at the camera and was like, I like football. Throw ball downfield. And now I actually think he's a pretty good announcer. So he's replacing, I guess, Mark Sanchez. And I think he'll be good. I like that hire. He's also going to become the first announcer for Fox to ever be allowed to call for another network because he was already scheduled to do Netflix's Christmas Day game.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, the Christmas game. Yeah. I like hearing. And Brady also had a rough start.

[Michael F. Florio]

I still am not a huge fan. I'm not saying he's better, but I think he's better. He's better.

[Billy Rutledge]

But every once in a while, when they lock into that brain that only a few of them have and they tell you something you don't know or what to look for. Not so much the Romo calling plays, but when they get in depth, those guys that truly know it and you grew up watching, it is different. And I like him out there. And Brady's still pretty rough, but Breeze has improved.

[Michael F. Florio]

Who would you say? Give me your MVP of NFL color announcers today? Who's the top of the chart? Who's the best?

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm still upset. Greg Olson got Pastor.

[Michael F. Florio]

All right, so let's do our top four. For me, it'll be Greg Olson. One, I'm going to still go Chris Collinsworth. Two, I'm going to go. I'm going to go three a rising J.J. watt.

[Billy Rutledge]

Oh, okay. Is that because he's with your boy.

[Michael F. Florio]

And all the time I think he does a good job. I really do. And then I'll go four, eight men. Not even so much because I think he's good. I just think he signals like it's a big game because Troy Aikman's on it. So that's how I'm doing. What's yours?

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't know if I can do Collins Worth. I might put.

[Michael F. Florio]

Even though I wouldn't put him anywhere.

[Billy Rutledge]

In the top four, I have Collinsworth exhaustion.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay.

[Billy Rutledge]

It could be from you and on all the time.

[Michael F. Florio]

The slide signal you don't want me to do.

[Billy Rutledge]

No, no, you keep doing it. But I just think, okay, the real Collinsworth is suffering because of it.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay, There's a young me doing. Yeah. Okay.

[Billy Rutledge]

Give me your five again. I put.

[Michael F. Florio]

I go one.

[Billy Rutledge]

Hold on. Let me.

[Michael F. Florio]

Let me. Collinsworth, Watt, Eggman.

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm going to put Romo in there instead of Collinsworth, even though I do get annoyed when he tries too hard to call out the plays. I enjoy listening to Romo and I like watching the Cowboys. When he gets a Cowboys game, that's fun. This guy's new and just getting started, but always love McCourty on NFL Network and the talk shows. And now he's starting to get a chance. He's not in my top five, but I'm really rooting for him.

[Michael F. Florio]

Is Charles Davis still doing it?

[Laquan Jones]

Charles Davis is still in it.

[Michael F. Florio]

He's pretty good. I like him. I didn't. I wasn't familiar with Vilma until he interviewed Trump. It was a beautiful play. It's a big play.

[Laquan Jones]

Did you say Romo?

[Michael F. Florio]

I threw. Romo might have been fifth for me. Roman. I got. I had some Romo exhaustion. Like. We get it, man. You know, the plays.

[Laquan Jones]

Understand.

[Billy Rutledge]

But I Think they told him to stop.

[Michael F. Florio]

I do like how excited he gets about it, though. Like, he does. He does get excited about the games, and I like that for announcers. Charles Davis actually probably would be fifth for me. He's probably the. He's interesting because he wasn't that good a player, and yet he keeps rising up the charts, which I think is good.

[Cam Jordan]

Is.

[Billy Rutledge]

Is Daryl Johnston still out there?

[Michael F. Florio]

He's been doing it forever. Is he still doing it?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, I think he's still.

[Laquan Jones]

I think so.

[Michael F. Florio]

The problem is I don't get to hear a lot of these announcers because I'm watching Red Zone. So if you do a one o' clock game, I may not hear you Dever call a game.

[Billy Rutledge]

Well, I watch at one o'. Clock. My Titans, and they ain't getting the A team, the B team or the.

[Michael F. Florio]

You get a lot of what?

[Billy Rutledge]

Actually, I've had some.

[Michael F. Florio]

A lot of. Adam Amin I've had.

[Billy Rutledge]

We've gotten some Iron Eagle, J.J. watt a few times this year, so that's been a nice treat.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay. I can't believe we could see Iron Eagle.

[Billy Rutledge]

That just adds to an already fun trip.

[Michael F. Florio]

I'm going to do something. It's going to be our first attempt at this. Can we call ioneagle live on the air? Hang on. This. Oh, boy. What? Hey, bud, can I call you back in two minutes?

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm just getting in an elevator.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yes, call me back in two minutes. All right.

[Laquan Jones]

Oh, we're in.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's all you get to hear. I just wanted you to know that I knew I needle. So when he calls me back.

[Laquan Jones]

Oh, what a tease.

[Michael F. Florio]

We won't talk about. How about you? Just so we will know, that's a name we actually dropped.

[Billy Rutledge]

How about you don't talk to him until we get to Buffalo. Don't call him back. If he calls back, don't answer.

[Michael F. Florio]

He's done that to me before, by the way, though. I'll be like, can I get you. No, I'll call and he'll go, I'll call you right back. And then I hear from him six months later, and you're like, hey, you.

[Billy Rutledge]

Said you're getting an elevator. Like, I don't want to tell you.

[Michael F. Florio]

So let's keep going until Ayn calls, and then we'll take a break. Go ahead. Okay.

[Laquan Jones]

The Texans announced that CJ Stroud will not play this Sunday day against the Titans. That means we get more Davis Mills.

[Michael F. Florio]

Is he hurt or is Davis Mills won the job as one of the best quarterbacks at the Second best college of. By the way, we forgot Jim Plunkett as a Stanford quarterback. Maybe a little better than than Davis Mills to be seen.

[Billy Rutledge]

Wait till he plays the Titans on Sunday.

[Michael F. Florio]

So is Stroud hurt or is concussion?

[Billy Rutledge]

He's concussed.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean Davis Mills did well, didn't he?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, I mean he made our Stanford list of best quarterbacks ever.

[Michael F. Florio]

Who are they playing?

[Billy Rutledge]

The Titans. That's why I'm saying Davis Mills is about to have another big game.

[Michael F. Florio]

I think they're going to win. Yeah, right.

[Laquan Jones]

This could be the start.

[Billy Rutledge]

Six point favorite.

[Laquan Jones]

Big season for Davis Mills.

[Billy Rutledge]

Titans coming off the bye week though. Look out. We're going to be doing all kinds of stuff.

I just want to remind everyone how good Rasheed Rice was last season. In these three healthy games, he was the wide receiver. Receiver. Two in fantasy, I think Rasheed Rice just goes off.

[Billy Rutledge]

This week, the Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice near side.

[Michael F. Florio]

Touchdown.

[Laquan Jones]

Ramandre Stevenson is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in. Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week.

[Michael F. Florio]

Drake takes the snap, hands it off. Ramadre running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown.

Okay, we're back from the Iron Eagle call. Gonna try to see him in Buffalo. Maybe we can do a little quick 30 second interview with I and with with COVID zero. Wouldn't that be exciting? Absolutely.

[Billy Rutledge]

We'll be in the press box. I'm sure he's going to be somewhere in there. We'll just walk around till we see him.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's right.

[Billy Rutledge]

Let's go exploring.

[Michael F. Florio]

I don't think I've ever had press credentials for an NFL game before. Ever.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

So I don't know what it's going to be like.

[Billy Rutledge]

You might get a free lunch, maybe free coffee.

[Michael F. Florio]

I judge teams by what they give you at the game. U of L the other night played Kentucky. The Louisville food a lot better than Kentucky's food.

[Billy Rutledge]

I talk to a lot of people that come to Kentucky from other schools and they're like, how do you all do this here?

[Michael F. Florio]

It's bad. But Buffalo, I'm Feeling like wings, bananas, like everything you would want.

[Laquan Jones]

Wings and bananas.

[Billy Rutledge]

Are we going to get those wings? Maybe they'll have media room wings, but are we going to get the. The local Buffalo wings?

[Michael F. Florio]

You and I've eaten that once before.

[Billy Rutledge]

Mario over here likes chicken wings, so we'll have to get them back.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean, that's the place where they originally go, but people tell you not to go to that. They say that there are better places. We went to Buffalo. It was really depressing. I'm hoping to have a better. Remember, we went and, like, the whole city was shut down.

[Billy Rutledge]

Nothing was going on.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. So I'm hoping we have a better impression this time.

[Billy Rutledge]

We got there kind of late. It was dark. We went and got Buffalo wings, and that was kind of the extent of the night.

[Michael F. Florio]

I thought I found a place for us to stay. And it said church slash basketball court slash Airbnb. I felt like that was a good combination.

[Billy Rutledge]

You're just gonna run us a community center. Big money over there. Did you call him, tell him we work for the NFL?

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, so I wrote him. It was a little expensive, and I was like, if you could. So if you could bring it down. What was $2,200 for two nights? I was like, if you could bring it down to, like, 1500, I'd be for it. And she said, we're focused on monthly rentals. So here's my question. Who's renting that for a month? What are you doing with it?

[Billy Rutledge]

Playing basketball, maybe. Maybe they get a Bills player coming through temporarily to finish out the year. Throw them in there.

[Michael F. Florio]

Go ahead and do it and make them accept me. Just to see what it's like. All right, what's next?

[Laquan Jones]

The NFL has their final international game of the season this Sunday in Madrid, Spain, and they got a good one. Commander's Dolphins. Daddy Yankee is going to perform at halftime. Daddy Yankee.

[Michael F. Florio]

Who's that? First of all, I'm not calling anyone Daddy Yankee.

[Laquan Jones]

I believe he's a rapper, but mainly of a different dialect than English.

[Michael F. Florio]

What dialect is he?

[Laquan Jones]

I believe it's Spanish.

[Michael F. Florio]

So why would a Spanish rapper call himself Daddy Yankee? Yankee's an American term.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, I mean, you know, you'd have to ask him.

[Michael F. Florio]

All right, well, let's look it up.

[Laquan Jones]

And a couple other storylines from that game. It's a battle of Hawaiian quarterbacks with Marcus Mariota and Tua Tagovailo.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's kind of cool.

[Laquan Jones]

Washington has allowed 82 points in the last two games. So Dan Quinn says he's taking over play calling. Duties on defense.

[Michael F. Florio]

Daddy Yankee, by the way, is Puerto Rican. He's dubbed the King of Reggae. Ton. Is that how you say it?

[Billy Rutledge]

Sounds about right.

[Michael F. Florio]

He is. He's. He's older than I am. He's. He's 49. He also goes by the Big Boss in Winchester.

[Billy Rutledge]

I've heard of Daddy Yankee. I'm familiar. I don't drive around listening to a lot of it, but I know the name.

[Michael F. Florio]

How do you.

[Laquan Jones]

Been around a while.

[Michael F. Florio]

How do you know him?

[Billy Rutledge]

Like he's been. He's a feature in a lot of stuff. I used to sing.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do you know the name of his biggest song of all time?

[Billy Rutledge]

Couldn't tell you. Oh, wait. Does he sing? He doesn't sing Gasolina, does he?

[Michael F. Florio]

That's what it is. How in the world did you know that?

[Billy Rutledge]

I told you. I know Daddy Yankee. He was big time for a while. He's getting a little old.

[Michael F. Florio]

How did you know Gasolina?

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm telling you, it was a big deal. I know. I'm familiar with Daddy Yankee. It's just he's getting old. Bad bunny pushed him out of the way and took over.

[Michael F. Florio]

Wow. He was cited by CNN as the most influential Hispanic artist of the early 2000s. It's a very specific award, but that's a big award.

[Billy Rutledge]

I would think you would know Gasoline if you heard it. I don't know the music rights we have on this.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do we have the music rights for Gasoline?

[Billy Rutledge]

See, we all know Daddy Yankee. Wow.

[Michael F. Florio]

Was he in. He was also in a movie called Gasolina. Well, there you go. Who knew? Well, so he's performing. And what else has happened? The Hawaiian quarterbacks.

[Laquan Jones]

Hawaiian quarterbacks. Dan Quinn's taking over play calling on defense. And then the NFL is adding games in Australia and Brazil next year.

[Billy Rutledge]

Year?

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, they played in Brazil last couple years. Australia, that's far away, man. Like you're gonna.

[Billy Rutledge]

Is. Is McDaniel gonna drive by the Commander's bar in Spain if they win? Do the little lap? His victory lap?

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I did a victory lap. Well, he should do a victory lap. He's staying for the rest of the year. I thought you talk about. I had him fired every week.

[Billy Rutledge]

We did. We just came. Well, next show, who will be the new coach? And he goes and beats the Bills by a million.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. You like is in Madrid?

[Marcus Grant]

Yes.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yep.

[Michael F. Florio]

So I just saw the record couple.

[Billy Rutledge]

Three and seven teams.

[Michael F. Florio]

If I ever disappear and I go.

[Laquan Jones]

Off the grid, where you're going, I.

[Michael F. Florio]

Will be in Spain. Spain is my favorite. Spain's my Favorite country to potentially, like, live in.

[Billy Rutledge]

Why?

[Michael F. Florio]

Just the whole vibe. Take naps in the afternoon.

[Billy Rutledge]

Sold. Come in.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I mean, dinner starts at like 8:30. You stay up late, sleep late, work's like, nah, you know, you get around to it. Tapas. See, I like tapas because you go to a restaurant and you order like nine things.

[Billy Rutledge]

I love a tapas restaurant.

[Michael F. Florio]

And they're just, they're small, but like, you don't, you know, you don't have to sit there and go, oh, do I get the chicken or the fish? You just get it all.

[Billy Rutledge]

Sometimes you only have three or four things. You get three or four people to go with you. You all have to build a buffet on the street.

[Michael F. Florio]

Sangria. And then it's like, you know, and then the soccer is, is fun there. And they, you know Spanish. I can speak a little. Enough Spanish to know what's going on. No, I don't. I'm not fluent, but I can. So I just, I feel like I would enjoy it.

[Laquan Jones]

Could you give us a little of that now?

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean, Gasolina.

[Billy Rutledge]

I got kicked out of the Foreign Language Festival at Murray State. I was in there in the Spanish competition and I left campus to get pizza. When I came back, they said, we told you not to leave campus. You are disqualified. That was the end of my Spanish speaking.

[Michael F. Florio]

Was this, like, last week?

[Billy Rutledge]

It was in high school. I was in Spanish too. We traveled to go show off our Spanish. I got a pizza craving, went and got pizza. Came back. They said, no, sir, we know you went over there.

[Michael F. Florio]

Why can't you have a more authentic place to show off your Spanish than Murray, Kentucky?

[Billy Rutledge]

It's the Spanish Language Festival. We were trying to broaden our horizons in West.

[Michael F. Florio]

You asked me if I could do it. I, I, I'm, I can like, listen to it and kind of get it. I'm actually not the best at speaking. I know it seems weird you do both, but, like, I have to sit there and think about grammar because I don't want to be, you know, And.

[Laquan Jones]

I don't do that masculine or feminine thing.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yolo Tango. Biblioteca.

[Laquan Jones]

Library.

[Michael F. Florio]

It's amazing that that's a word we all know. I couldn't tell you Library in another language. But all right. That's nice. I hope they have a good time. What's next?

[Laquan Jones]

Big matchup at 4:00 clock in the NFC West. The 49ers will travel to take on the Arizona Cardinals for the 14th time this year. Arizona is 3 and 6 this year, and they'll have to play without Marvin Harrison Jr. This week. He's missing his first game of his career after emergency appendicitis surgery.

[Michael F. Florio]

I saw that. You know, appendicitis, that's when your appendix. Is it when it bursts?

[Billy Rutledge]

I think.

[Laquan Jones]

Yes, I believe so.

[Michael F. Florio]

So what. What does your appendix do?

[Laquan Jones]

I don't know, but people get it removed a lot.

[Michael F. Florio]

I know. And it's often, like, it's a serious thing, right?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah. You can get really sick when it bursts.

[Michael F. Florio]

So why don't we do it like wisdom teeth and just have everybody take it out? Does it some serve some purpose?

[Laquan Jones]

Not sure.

[Billy Rutledge]

So you're saying, like, everyone turns 15, let's just go get our appendixes removed?

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, I just feel like it's. It feels like the cost benefit ratio is. I mean, Marvin Harrison's one of the best athletes in football, maybe in, like. So if he. If he gets it and it's an emergency surgery and all the football he's.

[Billy Rutledge]

Played, never missed a game.

[Michael F. Florio]

Never.

[Billy Rutledge]

High school, college, NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

So there's part of you that goes, well, why do we have it?

[Billy Rutledge]

It's on the lower right side of the abdomen. I know that much.

[Laquan Jones]

You do not need it to survive. So that's why you see it commonly removed.

[Michael F. Florio]

Why do you.

[Laquan Jones]

Gut health plays a critical role in digestion and overall health.

[Michael F. Florio]

But can't be that critical if you can take it out.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean, being real, if you can take it out, then how critical can it be?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, it's there. But, like, if the government or the body were to shut down, you know, they would. It wouldn't be like a critical employee.

[Billy Rutledge]

You know, the government, they shut down their.

[Michael F. Florio]

I see what you're saying. Yeah, I cut you off too early. It's not a critical employee. But it would be nice to have it sort of like the park rangers. Yeah, they're not critical.

[Laquan Jones]

Yes.

[Michael F. Florio]

But it's good to have them for gut health.

[Laquan Jones]

You'd appreciate it. Park ranger.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's a phrase, by the way, that we also never used to say gut health. Yeah. You remember hearing that until, like, three years ago?

[Billy Rutledge]

No.

[Michael F. Florio]

People be like, how's your gut health? I don't know, dude.

[Billy Rutledge]

All right. I guess feeling pretty normal.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean. Yeah. Well, I hope he gets better. Arizona's like, what, they're three and six?

[Laquan Jones]

Three and six?

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. So it's not going to really matter, but hopefully he gets healthy. He's a really talented guy. I wish he wasn't playing for. You know, Larry Fitzgerald played for Arizona forever. I feel like I saw him make two catches ever. And he's one of the best of all time. Just because no one watches their games? Yeah.

[Billy Rutledge]

You mean. You didn't mean he was only making two catches? Yeah. Not significant enough.

[Michael F. Florio]

What NFL team have you seen, you think collectively the fewest minutes of their games in history.

[Billy Rutledge]

Probably the Chargers. The Cardinals at least made a Super bowl charge.

[Michael F. Florio]

Cardinals, though, are. The Chiefs and Chargers are always on tv. The Chargers made a Super Bowl.

[Billy Rutledge]

That's true. If I go Back to the LT.

[Michael F. Florio]

Days when I was a kid in the 80s, Dan Fouts, they would show those a lot. I think it's the Cardinals. I mean, they had that one year with Kurt Warner. But when. When's the last time you've cared about a Cardinals game?

[Billy Rutledge]

Well, that is the only win my Titans have this year when they were tripping over the football in the fourth quarter. But before that, none.

[Laquan Jones]

Our video game. Mario had a great Larry Fitzgerald moment. You remember that?

[Michael F. Florio]

Yes, he asked. That was true. We went to a party and Mario, who's 25, 26, went up to Larry Fitzgerald and asked for a picture. And Larry Fitzgerald thought he meant he wanted a picture. And he instead wanted Larry Fitzgerald to take a picture of us.

[Billy Rutledge]

He's like, I'll just get this guy to take a photo and proceed was.

[Michael F. Florio]

So he asked Larry Fitzgerald if Larry Fitzgerald would take a picture of us and not be in it.

[Billy Rutledge]

Nice guy, though. Took a good picture.

[Cam Jordan]

He did.

[Michael F. Florio]

He took it, didn't he? I think he did.

[Laquan Jones]

What a nice guy.

[Michael F. Florio]

Can you imagine that, by the way?

[Laquan Jones]

It's like a prank thing somebody would do.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. I mean, I know Larry Fitzgerald, but they did that to me. He's a guy at the U of L game the other night, I was talking with the Craig Greenberg, Mayor Lowell, who's my friend. Guy walks up to me and goes, can I get your picture? And he hands it, or can I get a picture? And he hands it to me and then takes once. Craig. It's like, come on, man. That's good. Good. So same thing with that.

[Michael F. Florio]

Good Rasheed Rice was last season. And there's three healthy games. He was the wide receiver. Two in fantasy.

[Billy Rutledge]

I think Rasheed Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass.

[Michael F. Florio]

To Rice near side touch.

[Laquan Jones]

Ramandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a matchup where I think I can slide in Stevenson in my flex position and he could deliver double digit points this week.

[Michael F. Florio]

Drake takes the snap, hands it off. Ray running it right and running into the end zone. Touchdown.

[Michael F. Florio]

What's next?

[Laquan Jones]

The Eagles just traded for Jair Alexander to bolster their secondary right before the trade deadline. He just decided this week to step away from football to get right physically and mentally.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I was sorry to hear that. I mean, they just made a trade. What'd they give, like a sixth or seventh round pick for him?

[Laquan Jones]

It was a late round pick swap.

[Michael F. Florio]

So there's a layout, so not much.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, I hope he's all right. That kid played at Louisville, seemed like he was good for a long time, so. Well, I hope whatever it is, it makes it better. You know, what if something's happening where you don't feel like you can be at your best, good to step away and go take care of it.

[Billy Rutledge]

So, yeah, Longtime Packer was with the Ravens just for a little bit and now this. So he's battling something and talking about.

[Michael F. Florio]

Guy who's gotten on three good. Yeah, I mean, he talked about getting three good organizations, but he's only with the Eagles for a week and then.

[Billy Rutledge]

He was out and Ravens was just the beginning of this year. So I hope he gets better. He's still. Still youngish for his position. Got a little more football in him. That's right.

[Michael F. Florio]

They play with Lamar. Played or was maybe a little bit four.

[Billy Rutledge]

I don't know exactly what games, but he was with them for a stint. A cup of coffee, as they say.

[Michael F. Florio]

That's right. What's next?

[Laquan Jones]

And finally we started with the Giants. Will end with the Giants after firing their head coach. And with Jackson Dart still in concussion protocol, Jameis Winston will be making the start.

[Michael F. Florio]

This is exciting.

[Billy Rutledge]

I can't wait.

[Michael F. Florio]

James Winston, he's talking about a guy who's got a good television career. Although I don't know what you can put him on because he could say anything.

[Billy Rutledge]

Whatever it is, I'll watch.

[Michael F. Florio]

He is very entertaining and the video of him at the press conference was excellent.

[Billy Rutledge]

Singing Hamilton.

[Michael F. Florio]

He sang. He was singing Hamilton. That's right. And he was like, 10th anniversary, it's Russell Wilson. Like, is he okay?

[Billy Rutledge]

He says he's not retiring.

[Laquan Jones]

Just stinks, I guess.

[Michael F. Florio]

Boy, nobody has had a more precipitous fall. In all parts of life than Russell Wilson.

[Billy Rutledge]

He said he hasn't asked for a release. He wants to stick around.

[Michael F. Florio]

And do what?

[Billy Rutledge]

Back up Jameis Winston, I guess.

[Laquan Jones]

Let's ride.

[Michael F. Florio]

Is this one of those you just like, you do like an office space and you give him a smaller and smaller locker. It's like, all right, Russell, make him fly. Charter spirit.

[Billy Rutledge]

Put the practice squad guy between him and Jameis. Make him third.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. See, is Russell even going to be the backup?

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, I think so.

[Michael F. Florio]

What if they bring in Bailey Zappy? I feel like every time Bailey Zappy gets brought in, you know, it's over.

[Laquan Jones]

That's a Western guy.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah, that's your boy Billy.

[Laquan Jones]

Like, NCAA records right now, by the way. So. Yeah, keep your name out of.

[Billy Rutledge]

Did you cover him in college?

[Laquan Jones]

No, it was just after my.

[Michael F. Florio]

But I do feel like anytime something's gone really bad, Bailey Zappi is involved. Like when he came in and Shador Sanders got demoted. The practice squad for Bailey Zappy, I think. I think Bailey Zappy was like, who got brought in to kind of end Mac Jones's time in New England. They're like, oh, here comes Bailey Zappy.

[Laquan Jones]

True.

[Michael F. Florio]

So I think that's always a signal. When you see Bailey Zappy, things are not going well.

[Billy Rutledge]

Do you think you have, like a cave at his house? He's just sitting in there with pads all around him, just waiting for that signal to go off somewhere in the league.

[Michael F. Florio]

I do wonder if those guys, guys that are known, but not on a team like Flacco, just watch and flip from channel to channel, hoping somebody gets hurt.

[Billy Rutledge]

Studying every offense, receivers where you want to go.

[Michael F. Florio]

Somebody goes down and they're like, come on. I'm not sure if Zappy does that. He probably wouldn't. A Western man, like, yeah, I mean.

[Laquan Jones]

Backup'S a good job. I mean, you hold a clipboard, you make millions of dollars.

[Billy Rutledge]

He was Mahomes back out.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I don't think you make millions. I mean, some of them do, but I don't think. I don't think. I'm just going to tell you. I don't think Bailey Zappy's getting practice.

[Laquan Jones]

Squad would be a good job in the NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah.

[Laquan Jones]

You don't do anything and you still make six figures.

[Billy Rutledge]

Bailey Zappy's on a one year, $1.1 million.

[Michael F. Florio]

No way. Millionaire Bailey Zappy makes $1.1 million according to the Internet. Wow, what a good life.

[Billy Rutledge]

I should have been better at quarterback.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. Jeff Teague, which has nothing to do with Bailey Zappy. But I was listening to Jeff Teague this morning and he had a great thing about guys making money. And he was like, when I was young, nobody told me you could make money with money. He was like, when I made $5 million, I was like, well, if I live 50 years, I could have $100,000 a year. And somebody was like, you could put it in an account and it makes interest. And he just, I said, he said, I looked at that guy and went, you crazy. Which I thought was one of the great clips. You need to look it up. Jeff Teague talking about interest is a really good clip.

[Billy Rutledge]

Maybe he could lead a financial literacy class for the NBA.

[Michael F. Florio]

I think they should teach that for a lot of. A lot of guys. That's what they're getting paid.

[Billy Rutledge]

Now.

[Michael F. Florio]

I want you to look up Billy the. The playoff situation.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

Do you have that for me?

[Marcus Grant]

I do.

[Michael F. Florio]

So if the playoffs started today, what would it look like?

[Laquan Jones]

Do you want the NFC or the AFC?

[Michael F. Florio]

First, let's start with the afc.

[Laquan Jones]

The afc. The Colts would be receiving a buy. The two seed Broncos would take on the seven seed Jaguars.

[Michael F. Florio]

The Pats, Broncos, Jaguars. That would be the Saturday noon game. You know how they have, they have three games each day. I can guarantee you Saturday noon. That's when they play Broncos, Jaguars. Yeah, I would agree without question. All right, what's the next one Would.

[Laquan Jones]

Be the three seed Patriots versus the six seed Bills. That would be a nice AFC ease there. And then you have the four seed Pittsburgh Steelers versus the five seed LAC Chargers.

[Michael F. Florio]

Were you figuring that out in real time what LAC stood for?

[Laquan Jones]

No, I was just adding that for flair.

[Michael F. Florio]

So right now the Chiefs would not be in a good flair.

[Laquan Jones]

Correct.

[Michael F. Florio]

Wow.

[Billy Rutledge]

And the Chiefs play the Broncos this week.

[Michael F. Florio]

Big game for the Chiefs.

[Billy Rutledge]

Big game.

[Michael F. Florio]

Big game for the Chiefs. Boy, that would be crazy because I still think they're the best team and if they're not even in the playoffs, that would be nuts. All right. Nfc.

[Laquan Jones]

Nfc. The Eagles would receive a buy as the one seed. It would be the two seed Seattle Seahawks versus the seven seed Green Bay Packers.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay.

[Laquan Jones]

It would be the three seed Detroit Lions versus the six seed Chicago Bears.

[Michael F. Florio]

Three seed Detroit. Oh, that would be fun. I would. That would be exciting. A good rivalry game in the playoffs.

[Laquan Jones]

And then the four or five would be Bucks Rams.

[Michael F. Florio]

That would be the other contender to be at 1 at noon on Saturday. That would be the noon on Sunday game.

[Billy Rutledge]

The Seahawks Rams are both seven and two and play this week. So that will go one way or another. That Will change.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, let's make some picks. All right, Bill, you. You have won the Survivor League.

[Laquan Jones]

That's right.

[Michael F. Florio]

But I want to see how long you can keep going. All right. Because Drew and I are out. So what are the teams you've picked so far?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, I don't have that in front of me. Let me get that, and then I'll be able to make my pick here.

[Michael F. Florio]

What do you mean you don't have it in front of you?

[Laquan Jones]

I don't have my.

[Michael F. Florio]

Did you leave it at home?

[Laquan Jones]

No, I got it here. I'm just highly unorganized, like you the other day.

[Billy Rutledge]

Should be behind your daddy. Yankee notes.

[Laquan Jones]

Okay, here it is. I got it. I got it. Okay, so I have Jags, Cards, Bills, Colts, Chiefs, Patriots, and then the one that I did last week, which was Seattle. And then I also have. Yeah, Seattle. So there.

[Michael F. Florio]

So who do you like here?

[Laquan Jones]

You know, it's tough.

[Michael F. Florio]

I mean, the biggest favorite is Patriots, but you can't pick them.

[Laquan Jones]

No, can't pick the Patriots here. I'm almost inclined to take the Texans over the Titans.

[Billy Rutledge]

Easy. When else you can pick the Texans, it's just.

[Michael F. Florio]

But Davis. It's only five and a half points.

[Laquan Jones]

Davis Mills, though, and he's. He's kind of become our, like, podcast icon here, so.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I mean, I get that. I think I would probably, if I were you. So if I was still in the game, I would probably take packers over Giants. No offense to James.

[Laquan Jones]

I took the packers already.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay. See, I don't think I. Oh, I'm sorry.

[Laquan Jones]

No, I haven't.

[Michael F. Florio]

Well, do you want to switch? No. All right. So you're going to take the. No, I do not.

[Laquan Jones]

No, I'll stick with the Texas.

[Michael F. Florio]

Actually, I don't think I've picked the Patriots yet either, so. I could have picked them. All right, so let's do our touchdown game. I think I go first this week. And let's see. I'm going to take Stefan Diggs tonight.

[Billy Rutledge]

Oh, he's been good for me in.

[Michael F. Florio]

Real life on Thursday Night Football. I'm going to take Stefan Diggs. I've not picked him as my wide receiver. Drew, you're next. He's a quarterback or a running back.

[Billy Rutledge]

I've been betting on him. He's been hitting. I will take. I'm going to go running back. Try. Have I used any running backs? Do you have my list? I don't know who I've used. I've used Saquon. I know.

[Laquan Jones]

I don't have the list.

[Billy Rutledge]

I know I've used. I'll get a. I'll get one that's off the grid that I haven't used. I'll say Josh Jacobs against the Giants. I know I haven't used him. That should be a blowout.

[Michael F. Florio]

Josh Jacobs. All right, so Stefan Diggs. Josh Jacobs. Billy, that means you got to pick a quarterback.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

Who have you picked?

[Laquan Jones]

Jackson Darby.

[Michael F. Florio]

All right. That's it?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, I believe so.

[Michael F. Florio]

Okay, so what quarterback do you want?

[Laquan Jones]

I'm sticking with the Giants. I'm going James Winston. Give me a rushing touchdown from famous James.

[Michael F. Florio]

All these guys. You got Jalen Hurts. You got Mahomes, you got Lamar. You're gonna take. You're gonna take Jameis Winston.

[Billy Rutledge]

I like it.

[Michael F. Florio]

Billy.

[Billy Rutledge]

Last time you did this was Jackson dart, and all he does is rush touchdowns.

[Michael F. Florio]

So you're up 4, 3, 1.

[Laquan Jones]

You are.

[Michael F. Florio]

I'm up 4, 3, 1.

[Billy Rutledge]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

And you think the way to catch up is to pick Jameis Winston?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah. I mean, anybody can pick Josh Allen. Jalen hurts.

[Michael F. Florio]

But you haven't yet. You could do it.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah, maybe I will later.

[Billy Rutledge]

Who bets on the favorite? How many?

[Laquan Jones]

How often do you get Jameis starting at Rock?

[Michael F. Florio]

Maybe the rest of the year.

[Laquan Jones]

The one guy I was too afraid to go up to and ask for a picture.

[Michael F. Florio]

Oh, you were scared?

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

You thought he was gonna get angry at you?

[Laquan Jones]

No. He'd be the one guy that'd be nice enough to do it. But as a big Tampa fan and just he.

[Michael F. Florio]

Sweet. What are you going to do when we get in that locker room? You're going to see.

[Laquan Jones]

Oh, I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

[Michael F. Florio]

Vita Veya.

[Laquan Jones]

I'll be fine. I'll be tossing around the NFL and talking to Baker.

[Michael F. Florio]

Hey, but you're going to go to Vita Vegan. Go. Billy. Billy. Billy Rutledge. NFL Billy.

[Laquan Jones]

Our sports. That's probably what he'd know me by.

[Michael F. Florio]

NFL. Okay. Oh, you think he would know you.

[Laquan Jones]

But I don't know how they do it. Like, do they still open the locker room, or is it like. I think they open the player thing or, like, podium free for all?

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like, it's. The whole thing's gonna be interesting because we're not gonna fit in with these people. Yeah. I mean, with the rest this media, we're not gonna fit in. We're gonna be trying to break into ian Eagle and J.J. watts Booth.

[Billy Rutledge]

I'm gonna have pieces of a table on my back when I'm checking into the press box.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah.

[Laquan Jones]

Probably can't wear a Tom Brady jersey. Into the.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah. Okay, so a couple rules here for you two. You cannot wear. I mean, you can wear whatever you want, but you can't wear team gear. So you can't wear Bill's gear in the press box. Now, you can wear it if you want to wear it when you're out in the parking lot, you can't. But you can't wear it in the press box. I don't even know if you have Bill's gear, which means you can't wear Tampa gear.

[Laquan Jones]

Okay?

[Michael F. Florio]

I don't want you all to embarrass me. I've traveled enough with Drew. I know he won't embarrass me. Mario, you can't ask people for pictures, selfies.

[Laquan Jones]

Okay?

[Michael F. Florio]

I'm serious.

[Billy Rutledge]

Don't run out there to Josh Allen.

[Michael F. Florio]

Baker Mayfield and go, what up, bro? Big fan. Can we get a selfie? You can't do that. All right.

[Laquan Jones]

Or ask Baker to take a picture of you.

[Michael F. Florio]

You can do that.

[Laquan Jones]

Oh, you can do that.

[Michael F. Florio]

Billy, the Bucks are your team. Please, when we walk in, don't cry.

[Laquan Jones]

I can handle that.

[Michael F. Florio]

All right.

[Billy Rutledge]

Are you going to ask a question?

[Michael F. Florio]

Oh, yeah, no.

[Billy Rutledge]

Leave aside the player thing. That's easy. Anybody can do that. But in the media setting with the coach at the podium. You got a Todd question, Todd?

[Laquan Jones]

I'll think of one. I can think of one.

[Michael F. Florio]

Yeah.

[Billy Rutledge]

Be thinking of one. You should have one in one and.

[Michael F. Florio]

A losing win for you to ask. I asked a question at the Ryder cup for that reason. I was like, I want to say that I asked a question at the Ryder Cup. So I asked Lee Westwood a question. I see what he thought of Kentucky.

[Laquan Jones]

Yeah.

[Michael F. Florio]

And he was like, mate, it's brilliant.

[Billy Rutledge]

You could say. You have to introduce yourself. Billy Rutledge, KSR pre show and the NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

Billy Rutledge. NFL.

[Laquan Jones]

NFL.

[Michael F. Florio]

Billy Rutledge, personal assistant, Roger Goodell.

[Billy Rutledge]
