This year's girls trip to Telluride was the best. We one upped ourselves with my Sapphire Preferred card. And with 5 times points on Chase Travel, plus 3 times points on vacation homes with top brands, we got this incredible cabin. It was a mansion. And with three times the points on dining, we ordered a wagyu steak dinner. And that pistachio gelato was too good. So where should we go next year?

Sports Radio Host
I, Payne and Pendergast. Good to be with you on a. On a Wednesday, we'll get to the Astros at the top of the hour. All right, Seth, here are the teams in the NFL that finished in last place last season. You tell me which of these teams. Gut feeling. Has the best chance to do what the Texans actually did a few years ago, which is go from bottom of the barrel in their division to winning the division not once, but but twice. These were the eight last place teams. The New York jets, the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, the New York Giants, the Detroit Lions, the New Orleans Saints, the Arizona Cardinals. You got to pick. You got to pick one to go to first.
- [02:23]
Sports Analyst
You know, a lot of times immediately I'd go to the weakest division and, you know, so I would go immediately to the NFC South.
- [02:31]
Ana Garcia
Right.
- [02:31]
Sports Analyst
And yet the, the NFC south is a weak division and yet has teams that are solidly mediocre in it, that have some upside where you can see the Falcons or the Bucks perhaps overperforming expectations that I just don't feel like the Saints are quite there ready to, to do that. So I'll, I'll kind of weirdly go with one of the stronger divisions.
- [02:53]
Sports Radio Host
Yeah.
- [02:53]
Sports Analyst
And I say, I think the Lions probably have the best chance at it.
- [02:56]
Sports Radio Host
They're easily, easily the best of those eight teams.
- [02:59]
Sports Analyst
They're the best of those teams. They happen to be in a tough division. But you just look at the, the major players and they did have some losses like David Montgomery and whatnot. But really one of the biggest question marks is just that, all right, are they going to be able to figure out and overcome the loss of Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator, at some point? Ironically enough, he's in the division itself.
- [03:21]
Sports Radio Host
Yeah.
- [03:21]
Sports Analyst
But I don't believe in the Bears and I don't believe in the Packers.
- [03:25]
Sports Radio Host
Right.
- [03:25]
Sports Analyst
To the extent that I don't feel like, oh, none of those teams are, you know, like, I don't feel like none of like that the other teams in the NFC north can't be supplanted.
- [03:34]
Sports Radio Host
Yeah. And the Saints too. I just know, I don't know if I'm ready to believe that Tyler Schuck is a division winning. Even in that division.
- [03:41]
Sports Analyst
Yeah.
- [03:42]
Sports Radio Host
That he's a division winning quarterback. So I'm with you on that. If it weren't the line, like, what's the next. Can you make any case? Because, you know, I'm citing the Texans from a few years ago doing it. They looked a lot more than like the jets and the Browns and the Titans and the Raiders.
- [03:59]
Sports Analyst
And I think there's teams right now where some of the bad teams, some of them, you can look at them and say, okay, I think they're doing good things. Like the Giants. I think the Giants are doing good things. But even most sane and rational Giants fans right now would tell you they're really optimistic about the season and they expect them to win six or seven games. Right. You know, like, they really, they feel like they're all in on like a Harbaugh's kind of, we've got an adult in charge now and we're doing the same things systemically or the right thing systemically. That if they go, if they win seven or eight games, they'll be like, all right, cool, we're on the right track. Yeah, I think that, like, so I think the Raiders are doing probably the right things. I don't know. We also. We got to remember that Fernando Mendoza still by. By like, normal standards in a, In a draft, like, if you were going in next year's draft very easily, might not have been the number one overall pick.
- [04:53]
Sports Radio Host
Yeah.
- [04:54]
Sports Analyst
You know, just even with the national championship and everything. Yeah. So I guess the, the only. So the teams that feel like they're doing the right thing and might actually flip it quicker than people expect. I feel like the Titans are kind of being slept on in that. We talked about this yesterday. They flipped over pretty much half the roster. And like, that's never a certain recipe for success. Lots of teams flip over half of the roster and continue to suck the next year. But a lot of that change was on the defensive side of the ball. And I think Robert Sala is going to end up having that defense play really well. And then they made, they made important improvements or changes on the offensive line. They draft a receiver in the first round, and then it just comes down to, okay, man, what do they get out of Cam Ward? What is Cam Ward? And if that's good, then all of a sudden the Titans could be a really good football team. Yeah, they're the ones that they'll. They'd least. I think they'd be the biggest surprise in a lot of people's minds. But I think it's because people just don't think about the Titans all the time. No.
- [05:54]
Sports Radio Host
Well, they're the ones that, to me, the formula to do it most closely resembles the Texans resurgence a few years ago. From worst to first. Yeah, they've assembled some young pieces. You know, in their case, their quarterback already has a year under his belt, whereas C.J. was a rookie, but a really good one. The biggest thing to me is their coaching change. I mean, they literally got a guy who kind of comes from that same ethos as d' Ameco Ryan's. You know, the difference is Salah has. Is coming into this job with some head coaching experience already from his time with the jets, but a defensive head coach, a good defensive head coach who cut his teeth in the Shanahan tree, you know, and in a division that I know that The Jags won 13 games last year. I know the Texans won 12 games last year, but it's, you know, neither of those teams are viewed as world beaters yet. You know, they, they, they both won a bunch of regular season games last year, and they were both Gone after the divisional round of the playoffs.
- [06:52]
Sports Analyst
The Raiders are in. The Raiders are interesting just because Clint Kubiak did an amazing job with the Seahawks last year. And I feel like that's been under discussed that, I mean, by and large I listened to a lot of podcasts, I read a lot of articles and other than people out of side of Seattle, I very rarely see people mention that. Oh yeah, the offensive coordinator that got the absolute best out of Sam Darnold is. He's gone and he's not there anymore. But he now is with the Raiders. And look, we saw in that Texans game versus the Raiders, that man Ashton Genty was a lot better last year than his statistics would suggest. And that with the right offensive coordinator. And remember also that the Raiders went through two or two different offensive coordinators over the course of the last couple of years. That, that Clint Kubiak might really get a lot more out of that offense more quickly than people expect if he,
- [07:50]
Sports Radio Host
if Clint Kubiak in that division wins, if he's above.500 for the season. I know coach of the year usually goes to first year coaches that have a really big turnaround. You know, sometimes the, sometimes the, the velvet rope is you got to at least get into the postseason to do it. But I tell you what, when you just look at the head coaches in that division, if Clint Kubiak goes nine and eight in a division that has Andy Reid, Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh as the other three head coaches, I mean those are, those are three of the, I would say 10, easily 10 most respected head coaches in football.
- [08:27]
Sports Analyst
Well, and I think also the Raiders defense was better than wherever they were statistically in a lot of ways. I think by EPA they were 16th on defense last year. But that's well, playing opposite of the worst offense in the league. And just kind of like when you watch Browns games last year when I would watch Raiders games, there are a lot of those types of games where wow, boy, that defense is impressive until like at some point over the course of three quarters of your offense, not doing a damn thing, the dam breaks. You know, so two different spellings of damn there same sentence.
- [08:59]
Sports Radio Host
Yes, yes.

Cup 2026 the ones I look at here that have no chance to me I just think the jai I feel bad for Aaron Glenn. I just don't think it's going to end well for him there. They've got Geno Smith at quarterback. This that jets team feels like one Seth that's kind of built to go 3 and 14.
- [10:32]
Sports Analyst
Yeah.
- [10:32]
Sports Radio Host
And then have an offensive head coach come in and coach Arch Manning or Julian saying or one of those guys. I feel bad for Aaron Glenn but that's what that feels like. The Browns feel a little bit that way too just with a better defense with Todd Monk and Monken is an offensive coach but he, he that feels like a short timer to me. And then the Cardinals, the Cardinals just feel like a train wreck to me. Jacoby Brissette holding out.
- [10:58]
Sports Analyst
Jacobi Brissette holding out. I think that it's funny because sometimes the, the, the, the real truly nerdy NFL fans or writers seem to like be they approve of what the Cardinals current strategy is. And yet you know, it's not like you think that all of a sudden this is the year they're going to turn it around.
- [11:18]
Sports Radio Host
Yep.
- [11:20]
Sports Analyst
I want to be one of those teams that gets away with being bad perennially yet with people still crediting their approach and their process. Yeah, it's like the Browns were like that. The Browns is their first go around the first time they tanked Intentionally that a lot of people were doing that with them.
- [11:36]
Sports Radio Host
Oh yeah.
- [11:36]
Sports Analyst
You know, the Bears. What's his face up there in the Bear has got that. He got the benefit of the doubt for multiple Ryan polls. Yeah. I mean for. And it looks like it might start being the. But like the ability to manage the media while you're tanking, it's a really big deal because at some point usually somebody. Somebody loses their stomach for it. Either either the head you either you get a head coach that flips out and makes the GM look bad or the owner loses, the owner freaks out and he blames the GM for the strategy that he approved. So yeah, credit to the guys that can manage the PR on that. So the Cardinals seem to be doing pretty well.
- [12:13]
Sports Radio Host
No doubt. Hey one just shifting gears here real quick. Apparently one angle we played that audio of the body cam footage with Diana Rossini getting pulled over and getting out of the ticket by showing the Viking fan cop that pulled her over. Yeah, sort of a screen grab or a, you know, just a showed on the phone a text conversation that she was having or had with Kevin o', Connell, the head coach of his favorite team. And he was blown away by that. He was smitten. The cop was Tony Farmer. Noted Rossini Vrabel Sleuth posted yesterday. He said if you have really good speakers, take a listen to this. Take a listen to the body cam footage. And I didn't notice this the first time, but he is correct if you listen really closely. She told the cop, keep in mind this is like at 9 o' clock in the morning because the Sean McDermott news was breaking. It broke it like 9 o' clock in the morning on January 19th. She told the cop, I'm coming back from Foxborough. I've been in the car five and a half hours, which it was apparently was snowing. So that's why normally it's like a three hour or four hour trip. It was snowing that day. So naturally Tony Farmer looks to see if she did any reporting or posting or whatever about the Patriots. That would be the Patriots Texans game. Yeah, she was at the Patriots Texans game. Evidently said I'm coming back from Foxborough. I've been in the car five and a half hours.

You can hear her say my legs are exhausted.
- [13:43]
Sports Radio Host
Yeah, well that's what Farmers like.
- [13:45]

My thighs are quivering. Yeah.
- [13:47]
Sports Radio Host
So this is a business trip and you didn't do any reporting on this particular game, eh?
- [13:51]
Sports Analyst
Oh yeah. Yeah man.
- [13:54]
Sports Radio Host
Yeah.
- [13:55]
Sports Analyst
So Brable was distracted to begin with that.
- [13:58]
Sports Radio Host
That's my take on this is as I'm looking at this through a Texans lens and I'm like, man, cj, throwing these four picks, your team loses to a guy who had half his mind on the game and half his mind on whatever was going to happen after the game.
- [14:12]
Sports Analyst
I did, by the way, came up with a foolproof plan for getting out of tickets, which is. I've got 32 of these. I did. I changed my wife's name in her context, the koc, Kevin o'. Connell.
- [14:24]
Sports Radio Host
Okay.
- [14:25]
Sports Analyst
So to get out of it, to get out of. I've got 32 different head coaches, but the Koc one says, it looks like I'm having a text conversation with Kevin o'. Connell.
- [14:34]
Sports Radio Host
Oh, nice.
- [14:35]
Sports Analyst
And it's. And I say, hey, koc, how do you feel about law enforcement officers? And Koch replies, I don't like them. Dot, dot, dot. I love them. So. So you get a. So I get a. You know, you get a little bit of name dropping, but also a little bit of a dad joke in there. I tested non dad jokes. Yeah, they didn't test as well.
- [14:58]
Sports Radio Host
Okay.
- [14:58]
Sports Analyst
Cops were biting on dad jokes. Way better. Yeah.
- [15:01]
Sports Radio Host
So you did the research on this?
- [15:02]
Sports Analyst
Yeah. So I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do 32 of those. And I'll never get. As long as the guy who pulls me over is a fan of an NFL team.
- [15:09]
Sports Radio Host
That's his long term.
- [15:10]
Sports Analyst
Yeah, I basically, I basically, I have a license to speed.

Sports Radio Host
You, but you have, but you're, you're not just football, you're a sports talk radio host. You could expand this if they like baseball or soccer.
- [15:24]
Sports Analyst
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work. Coming up with 32 fake text conversations was a lot of like, that was, it was a. You know, that's going to be two hours out of my day.
- [15:31]
Sports Radio Host
It is a lot of work. I'm just saying if you get bored, you can always expand it if you want to. All right, into the 8 o' clock hour we go. Let's circle back over to the Astros. Last night we were angry about an ABS challenge from Monday. We're thrilled about this one that happened last night that opened the door and might have been the most important at bat of the game. We will have that for you coming up next.
