A
Podcast to be fair, I was talking about Dabo Sweeney and he is the worst. And he lost at home yesterday to SMU by double digits.
- [00:42]
B
Yeah, that's not good.
- [00:44]
A
I mean I don't think he's not gonna get fired, but like he's had a terrible year. We've been focusing on other dudes like James Franklin, Dabble. Sweeney's had a pretty awful year.
- [00:54]
B
Yeah, I mean SMU is another one of those programs where like there's real money around that.
- [00:59]
A
Yeah, but he's lost everybody. Like he's lost. And even the games they've won, they've barely won. Like they've been bad. It's Matt Myers, Professor. Presented by Progressive Insurance. Can't say it, but doesn't mean it's not great. You could join the Dr. Pepper calling line at 888, say ESPN. It is now time for King of the Mountain. Ladies and gentlemen, your winner and new King of the Mountain champion, Mark in Ohio. Go Mark.
- [01:28]
C
Man, I'm telling you, at what point are we going to realize Stark is Elmer Fudd with a headset? When it comes to big games 20, 23 and 24 in the playoffs, the guy forgets that he's supposed to be a genius play caller. I think you and I can put a headset out there in a big game and be less nervous than that guy. And as a die hard Michigan fan, I was hoping to God that they would beat the Buckeyes yesterday.
- [01:51]
B
And I knew I was going to be disappointed.
- [01:54]
A
That take, which is the current King of the Mountain, seems to get better every week because last night they won. But Texas and Sark looked about as bad as you can with Arch Manning. I think that King of the Mountain right now we'll see mine. Do we think anybody can can beat it?
- [02:12]
B
I don't know, but I'm getting DMs from people who are like, I'm Coming on today because I got strong takes, so hopefully they show up.
- [02:19]
A
We'll find out. Now, we got people from all over the country on the line, so let's get started. Oh, did he. Did somebody already. He already quit. Kyle already get off at Oklahoma City. How you gonna hang up when you were first? All right. 888, say ESPN. Let's go to Mike in Illinois. Mike, go for it.
- [02:35]
C
Hey, guys, real quick. Hey, how can you get on Myron? How. Anyways, are you ready for my take?
- [02:41]
A
Wait, I'm starting.
- [02:43]
B
What?
- [02:43]
A
Tough start. Go.
- [02:46]
C
Hey, I thought you guys were talking about Batman and Robin villains earlier. Hey, look out, it's Mr. Freeze. Hey, Batman. This is a real pickle. Pickle. And then you got lsu. Their coach's middle name's Thomas. Who wants to be with another btk and in Florida.
- [03:02]
A
Why I gotta let you go? I don't know. I think you. I think you. That cat is.
- [03:07]
B
That's some pure stuff.
- [03:09]
A
We request that the people on King of the Mountain not smoke products before they come on the show. That is our request going on. I don't know what was going on with that. So, Mike in Illinois, that's a no. Let's go to Bill in Nebraska. Go, Bill.
- [03:25]
C
Yeah, okay. Remember, Matt, I had to work on the jingle. The Kevin o'.
- [03:29]
B
Connell.
- [03:29]
A
Yeah. All right. So I give you. I gave you a second chance because I think this is good. Go for it.
- [03:35]
C
Okay. All right. Now, I got. I went back to school. We're doing. We're doing small market radio. Donut. Jingle in vo, voiceover, jingle out. Disclaimer. Okay, all right, all right, all right. Here we go. You got a busted quarterback. We can fix them fast. Then you'll have a QB that's guarantee to last. Now the voiceover. Hi, I'm Kevin o'. Connell. If you've got a Kirk Cousins or a Daniel Jones that might just need a little tune up, or if you've got a Sam Darnold that needs a complete overhaul, bring him to the Kevin o' Connell busted quarterback shop. We'll fix them up right. Guaranteed. You gotta bust a quarterback.
- [04:19]
A
We can fix them fast.
- [04:21]
C
Then you have a QB that's guaranteed to last. And the disclaimer. Look, Kevin oconnell bustered quarterback chop is in no way affiliated with the Minnesota Vikings football organization.
- [04:32]
A
All right, Bill in Nebraska.
- [04:34]
B
I like it.
- [04:35]
A
All right.
- [04:35]
B
I like.
- [04:36]
A
Appreciate the call, Bill. Nebraska will leave you on there.
- [04:41]
B
I feel like 48 seconds, but it was good.
- [04:43]
A
It was 48. It was a little too long. And and he was kind of like. It was like a play where he's reading the stage instructions as well.
- [04:51]
B
He was. It was.
- [04:53]
A
It was a table stage left.
- [04:55]
B
Yeah, yeah.
- [04:56]
A
But nevertheless, he worked on it. It got better. Bill in Nebraska. I like it. All right, let's go to Andy and Iowa. Go, Andy.
- [05:06]
C
All right, so thanks for having me. Okay, so in the NFL right now, when the season starts, all you hear about is how injuries are killing teams. I get so tired of hearing the parade decimated by injuries followed by a couple of name drops. Let's put AI to good use and quantify injuries by developing a team injury rating. Give me a number between 1 and 10 with some commentary. Instead of a dude who rambles on to the point that you think the team is recruiting local high school players to play. That's all I have.
- [05:36]
A
All right, Andy, listen. You know what? I actually don't disagree with your point because people just love to just throw out. Well, he's des. This team's decimated by injuries, but what does that mean? Like, you're just like that. They say it about every team. Myron and I. Actually, I do think he has a pretty good point.
- [05:54]
B
No, he definitely does. And I like the injury rating idea to quantify.
- [06:01]
A
All right, Andy, we'll put you how.
- [06:02]
B
It really impacts a team in the final set.
- [06:04]
A
888. Say ESPN. Got a couple open lines. Get in here. Andy and I were with his injury rating. Now moves on. Let's go to. Daniel is in Germany. Daniel, where in Germany are you?
- [06:16]
C
Yeah, I'm on the Autobahn right now. I'm cruising.
- [06:20]
B
Autobahn.
- [06:20]
A
How fast are we going? Actually, you know what? I don't want to be liable for anything. Never mind. Don't tell me where you are or how fast you're going. Just keep both hands on the wheel and be safe and ready. Go.
- [06:33]
C
All right. The other guy had a song. I don't have a song. My take is that the Tennessee Titans will not end up in last place in the AFC South. They're going to win a couple games with Cam Ward. I know they got the coach fired and everything, but I think we'll save the Houston Texans for that spot.
- [06:50]
A
All right, well, there you go. Okay, so you're taking the Titans to not be in last while you're on the autobahn. Why are you in Germany? Do you live there?
- [07:00]
C
I live there. I grew up in Nashville, but I live here now.
- [07:03]
A
Which city?
- [07:06]
C
In a city. It's close to Munich. How about that?
- [07:09]
A
Oh, you don't want to say the city. Okay, I understand. Close to Munich. All right, well, I appreciate it. Daniel's. Daniel's on a secret mission in Germany.
- [07:17]
B
James Bond.
- [07:20]
A
I don't want to. I don't want to break your cover, Daniel, as to where you are in Germany or.
- [07:25]
B
Unless he ain't supposed to be there. Unless somebody don't know he's out there in Germany right now. Like it's a work trip, honey.
- [07:32]
A
Kind of an interesting thing. Let's just say I'm within 16 nautical miles of Germany. Nah, honey, it's a two month work trip. Now.
- [07:40]
B
They said I had to. They said I had to go, you.
- [07:43]
A
Know, 888, say ESPN. Let's go to Brock in Tennessee. Go ahead, Brock.
- [07:49]
C
Hey, Matt, Matt, Myron, I love y' all show. Let me talk about these Tennessee volunteers. The only thing they're volunteering for is the ass whooping. The third week of October, we are 17 and 19. That's a point eight. That's 89.45. I don't know. Peyton Manning's gone and let me tell you, my dad told me just one, one thing. Whatever you remember. So remember this. Nothing sucks like a big orange roll tide.
- [08:14]
A
Hey now, kind of like that one Brock in Tennessee, the only thing they're volunteering for is an ass whoop.
- [08:23]
B
Can we say that? I don't, I don't know the rules all day. Oh, we can say, yeah, I think.
- [08:28]
A
You can't say ass whooping. You can. I think you can. I mean, I don't know that it's encouraged, but I think you can do it. Am I right? Am I right, Evan?
- [08:36]
B
We allowed, we're allowed to do that?
- [08:37]
C
Yeah.
- [08:37]
A
I mean you can't. But we say, well, I just did. Well, let's save that for the break.
- [08:41]
B
Well, give me the list now. Save the list on air evidence stuff.
- [08:45]
A
I'll help you with it during the break. I've been, I've been through the training. I know exactly what you can say. Well, eight sp. I do like a Tennessee trash talk, by the way. Yeah, I noticed that the Tennessee Alabama game, which is a rivalry that like a lot of people don't realize nationally how big that rivalry is. They call it the name of the game. You know, there are games like the Civil War and the Holy War and all this. That game they just call the third week in October. Is that the worst name of a rivalry game in the country?
- [09:17]
B
Nobody, nobody went to the meeting and they had this. They had to come up with a name. What I find and tell me if this is true, Matt. In the sec, if you could rate the teams that SEC teams want to beat most, the consensus would be Tennessee. It feels like.
- [09:33]
A
Well, people, I think most SEC fans would generally say Tennessee is the worst fan base. Like, it's the worst fan base. Just in terms of the people, the attitude, like Tennessee's the worst fan base. I think people like beating Alabama because it says something. But I would say to you, when it comes to rivalries in the sec, Alabama, Auburn's number one. I guess we inherited Texas, Oklahoma. We have to now consider that arrival. Even though I don't consider that an SEC rivalry, then it's probably Florida, Georgia, but fourth is probably Alabama, Tennessee. I mean, Alabama, Tennessee is a much bigger rivalry than people realize. So. All right, we got two finalists here. We got Bill in Nebraska with his Kevin o' Connell jingle that he worked on, revised and did in week two. And then we have in Brock in Tennessee where they said they volunteered for a bleep bleep. What is your. What is your vote, Myron?
- [10:30]
B
How did it become a BLEEP bleep all of a sudden? Evan said we can say it as much as we want, but.
- [10:34]
A
Well, it's Sunday morning, my parents are church. I'm not gonna say it too.
- [10:37]
B
Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I don't wanna. I don't wanna get into that, but I think the Kevin o' Connell take is something that, like, we should hold on to. That's a great thing, I think, to play, but I thought Brock had a better take. Like, I think, you know, brought to me more in line with King of the Mountain.
- [10:52]
A
You're voting for Brock.
- [10:54]
B
I think it more aligned with what we want for King of the Mountain than Bill and the brass.
- [10:59]
A
He worked. Bill was great. He worked on the song. I would just say I wish he hadn't given the stage instructions.
- [11:05]
B
Maybe there was a lot of.
- [11:07]
A
Maybe he could have had his friend do the other part or something. The stage instructions interrupted it for me a little bit.
- [11:17]
B
Radio broadcast.
- [11:18]
A
A person willing to call two weeks in a row, take destructive changes and then make them. I do have to go. I do have to give a point. So I'm going to say I'm going to vote for Bill in Nebraska.
- [11:29]
B
Okay.
- [11:29]
A
But that makes it tied 1:1. So, Evan, for the third straight week, we're going to go to the producer and say, break the tie. Brock or Bill? It's Bill.
- [11:37]
C
It's Bill.
- [11:38]
A
The Kevin o' Connell jingle is great.
- [11:40]
C
He did a great job with it.
- [11:41]
A
He put the effort in I, if I'm listening to this, I'd want to.
- [11:44]
C
Hear that over and over and over again as we continue.
- [11:47]
A
All right, so Bill in Nebraska is. Beats out Brock. Now the question is, is it Bill in Nebraska or is it Mark with his Elmer Fudd in the headset? You know, I kept it last week in part because I thought Kentucky would have a chance to beat Texas and they almost did. So that take has ended up being very true. Myron, are you going with Bill in Nebraska? Are you going with Mark in Ohio?
- [12:06]
B
I would give it to Bill simply for the work that Bill invested into putting that together. I mean, Bill, to me, really to come back to make it better. That's a real investment and we want to see more of that.
- [12:21]
A
So I think I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to pick Bill as well. We're going to have a new king of the mountain after five weeks. Bill in Nebraska with his song Good Job. I think it works. Good. Now here's what I have a request for you, Bill in Nebraska. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to think about because this could be one that last. I want you, Bill, and you have a week. I would like you to call to try to make that sound professional. Okay. No stage. I'm giving him homework. I think he'll do it week in a row, make it sound professional, and then at the start of the show next week, call and record it with the producer at the start of the show. Martin, are you okay with that?
- [13:03]
B
I am, but I don't know that we need to give out homework.
- [13:06]
A
This is homework. This is if you anything good in life, you have to work for Bill and Nebraska so you're king of the mountain. But next week you could make it better. That's what I'd like to see because the Kevin o' Connell jingle is now our king of the mountain. We're going to. We're going to take a break. Oh, I'm not supposed to say that. We're going to take a pause and then we'll do more. Matt Myron presented by Progressive Insurance here on ESPN Radio.

The podcast it is Matt Myron here presented by Progressive Insurance. Dr. Pepper, call 988-8- say ESPN. We're presented by Progressive. See why over 43 million drivers trust Progressives. Stay protected on the road. See for yourself@progressive.com you like that, Myron? Are you a progressive guy? What do you. Yeah, I'm just asking you, are you can you do like the progressive.com I.
- [15:00]
B
Just want to make sure I'm a. Whoever sponsors the show. I mean.
- [15:02]
A
Yeah, well, see I'm, I'm a progressive guy either way. So like for me it's easy. Travis Hunter just scored his first career touchdown for the Jaguars in London. 33 yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence. That's good news. Bad news is it was their first points of the day. So it's 28 to 7 Rams right now in London. The Jaguars, they just kind of got off the bus, not ready to play and they're going to take a loss. Now we have some breaking news. Called the coach over there. You're exactly right. They got off the coach and then the lift and the tube and nevertheless they were not ready to play. Graham Hall a weird stuff. Yeah, well, maybe they think we stay weird stuff. Graham hall, who covered Florida, who covers Florida for 247 sports. He's reporting that the Florida coaches are having a coaches meeting at 1pm and there's a lot of speculation that Billy Napier could be let go today. That stinks. He wins the game and you send him home anyway. I've always argued, by the way, Florida is one of the five best jobs in the country if it comes open. They've not had anyone really do well in that job since Spurrier, but it'll still be a very attractive target.
- [16:13]
B
Well, and I think this is why those moves are going to happen today is because you know all these coaches want to get out in front of you. All these teams want to get out in front, you know, and go after their guy, kind of whoever that is. You know, I wonder, does the James Franklin decision, is he going to be a candidate for some of these jobs? But I'm curious about the dominoes that, that move.
- [16:31]
A
Well, let's think of some of these jobs that are going to be open this year. I mean, you're going to have Florida, you're going to have Penn State, you have Virginia Tech, you're going to have ucla. I mean, that's just what we know, right? You're probably, I think you're going to have Auburn. You could end up having, you could end up having a school like Kentucky. Like, there's a lot. They're going to be a lot of jobs come open. This may be one of the craziest off season coaching carousels of all time.
- [16:59]
B
Yeah, I mean, put Florida State.
- [17:01]
A
Florida State could be. You're exactly right. Oklahoma State I think is going to. Is open as well.
- [17:06]
B
So there are a bunch of good jobs, you know, and I think, I think the, the dominoes are going to move fast. That could kind of reshuffle collegiate sports. I was in Gainesville a month ago for a basketball thing and it was after they had lost a game that kind of set this whole thing into motion. Matt, I'm telling you, man, I was at like a sporting goods store and they were talking about football. Like people were just down. And in that kind of community, when you're losing in football, it literally affects the entire city.
- [17:37]
A
No, everybody, in fact, in a place like Gainesville, and this is true in Lexington, it affects the entire economy of the city. Like it is not. People don't realize in these college cities, winning at sports is not even just about sports. It's about the morale of the city and state and it's about the economy. I can sit and tell you as a bar owner, I can trace the economic success based on the sports success. So it's not like it's not a little thing. And I think, you know, that doesn't happen in major sports cities. In NFL cities, like, the city's gonna go, maybe Buffalo and Green Bay. But besides that, in the other cities, the economy is separate from the sports, from the sporting teams. That is not true in college towns.
- [18:25]
B
Yeah, and, and you know, everybody's affiliated with the school. Everybody works at the school, works for something attached to the school. So it, to your point, it's just such a huge deal. I think that's why you'll see a move being made. But they're going to be a lot of, to your point, really, really good jobs open. So I want to see how this all shakes out.
- [18:42]
A
Raiders at the Chiefs, one Eastern on ESPN Radio. Some coverage is underway, but you don't want to turn to that. We're on the radio. You go at one o' clock for the kickoff. Stay with me. Admired until then. Geno smith leads the NFL with 10 interceptions this year. He has three games with two or more interceptions. The Chiefs have picked off opposing quarterbacks four times this season. Brock Bowers is considered week to week and probably unlikely to play today. Rasheed Rice is eligible to return from his suspension today. And Mahomes and the Chiefs look like the Chiefs of old after their win against Detroit last weekend. Do you think the Chiefs are back on track, Myron?
- [19:21]
B
I mean, as on track as any team in the league? You know, I still don't think we have like a guaranteed favor right now for the super bowl, but I can understand Chiefs fans essentially feeling like they're really a 4 and 2 team or should be. I mean, lost on that weird Jacksonville Jaguars finish a couple of weeks ago. Rasheed Rice coming in. I think that's obviously gonna be a big boost. I think the biggest thing for Kansas City is like what that defense just did to a Detroit team that I think was scoring 35 points a game. 34.8, I believe was the exact number. And they just shut him down. So I think to me, if that defense is playing that way, you get another weapon in Rasheed Rice, the offense gets moving. That to me is where you go, okay, maybe Kansas City has found itself again.
- [20:04]
A
Yeah, I mean, Kansas City had a very. Well, they have a very difficult schedule all through the year, but they had a very difficult schedule to start the season. I mean, you look at it, their, their first games, I mean, they, they played the Chargers, they played a Ravens team that we thought were going to be good. Played the lines. I mean, they played all these really good teams to start, start the season. I think they're in a good shape. I think what's interesting is in addition to all these weapons, Myron, Travis Kelsey looks like after six weeks, he's played himself into shape. You know, he looks a lot more. Well, you know, it takes him a while. These old, these old guys.
- [20:35]
B
Concerts this offseason.
- [20:36]
A
Yeah, it's true.
- [20:38]
B
Taylor had him in the suites out.
- [20:41]
A
Of his kneecaps, and now he's ready to go and get the webs out and he's ready to rock.
- [20:46]
B
Yeah, no, he looks like he's figured it out. And now that we reached his point.
- [20:51]
A
Do you care at all, by the way, about the Raiders just in the season?
- [20:55]
B
Yeah. I mean, Brock Byers, I think if he's healthy as a generational talent, that's a big loss. You know, Ashton Genti, I still want to see what he has going forward. They just need a quarterback.
- [21:04]
A
I hate seeing talented running backs, though, on bad teams because I just. It feels like you're wasting this weapon that you can't really do anything about. A big time wide receiver is back for a game today. We'll tell you what it means. And one of the great performances in college football in years. We'll have the guy who did it next here on Bad My fellas, it's time to step up your grooming game. All right? I do this show three times a week. Every single time, I have to take grooming very, very seriously. Look back in the archives, guys. Look back and see the awful mustache I was trying to trot out last spring. I hate it. The other day I recirculated an interview with Drake May. I wanted to CGI it. I wanted to CGI the mustache out. I wanted to AI it. I couldn't. The mustache was there. And now I've got a nice little stubble, perfect length. Gonna have this for the rest of my life. Okay? Very, very, very important. It's a part of confidence. It's a part of looking good. It's a part of being on TV. Manscaped just leveled up with the Lawnmower 5 and the Chairman plus two powerhouses built for unmatched precision, comfort and control.

B
It's non existent.
- [24:12]
A
Jaden's incredible. And I think at the very least you're going to be in every game.
- [24:15]
B
And they could win every game they're playing in.
- [24:17]
A
Is that good? 3, 3, 2, 3 and 1.
- [24:20]
C
Obviously in Dallas. Think about division. That's. I think, I think the game will.
- [24:23]
A
Be a little bit more important for Dallas. You know, I have a lot of respect for Stephen A. Smith's career and just for like all that he's accomplished. People forget what a great sports writer he was. My, like when he was a writer.
- [24:39]
B
That'S how, that's how I knew Stephen A.
- [24:41]
A
For this and you know, he's very entertaining. But when they give his hall of Fame plaque in the sports casting world, they're not going to play the sentence, I'm not calling them the Dallas Cowboys, I'm calling them the Alice Cowboys. That's one of the worst lines I've ever heard.
- [25:03]
B
Hey, hey.
- [25:05]
A
No, no, no. You can say listen we. You can say that's a horrible line. The Alice Cowboys. Did he really say that?
- [25:14]
B
I mean, listen. Teach his own. It's not.
- [25:17]
A
No, you can say, Myron, you can say Alice Cowboys is an awful lot.
- [25:22]
B
It's not, it's not a line I would necessarily. But listen, you know, all right, let.
- [25:27]
A
Me do, let me do my version. Cowboys today play the Washington Commanders. They lost last week. I'm calling them the Ashington Commanders. Is that better?
- [25:44]
B
Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't. It's not, it's not Maker Playfield levels for me.
- [25:51]
A
You know, We've made fun of Maker Playfield for years. We can make fun of this. Alice.
- [25:56]
B
I wouldn't say yeah. Alice, I don't know that that's. I don't know that that will make any Stephen a highlight.
- [26:01]
A
That's what I'm saying. That's all I said. When they do his hall of Fame intro, they are not going to be that clip. Commanders at Cowboys 4:25 Eastern today. It is the late game focus of the day. I wish you could see my producer. He's literally hiding his head from the camera because he doesn't want me to see him during this. Cowboys are 2, 3 and 1. He's getting a phone call. Might be from our bosses. It'll get CD Lamb back from injury.
- [26:28]
B
Don't do that.
- [26:29]
A
The offense from the Cowboys, Jaden Daniels loses his battle with Caleb Williams last week. Yeah, it's important for Washington to get back on track. It's important for the Cowboys just to get a win. I think this is the most intriguing game of the day. Real consequences for whichever team loses it. How do you see it going?
- [26:49]
B
Yeah, I mean, I think the commanders need to bounce back. Their defense needs to be better. I think that's going to be a huge part of this game. How do they handle. Can they bottle up the run game from Dallas? But the Cowboys defense just has been bad. I mean, they lost to the Panthers because they couldn't pressure Bryce Young of all quarterbacks. So if you can't get to him, I don't know how you get to Jaden Daniels. So this is a. It's a big game. I think this is. These are two teams where the commander's obviously in a much better spot considering what they did last year. But you're still going on the road and. And you may have to do that in the playoffs. Well, I think winning in that environment will matter.
- [27:27]
A
The NFC east, these teams beat each other all the time. I mean, even. Even when one of them's good and the other one's bad, you'll see upsets. You know, last year, as good as the Eagles were, the Giants almost them twice. I think the Giants did beat the Commanders once. I mean, these games end up very close. I do think this game, obviously it's big for the Cowboys. They need to get back on track. But I think this game's huge for Washington. I think that was a very deflating loss for them last last week. Remember, their season turned around last year when they won that game on the Hail Mary. And you got to be careful. Mine, you don't have your season turned to the negative on that game this year because, you know, even though they didn't lose because of that fumble, there's a perception that they kind of lost because of the fumble. And you got to make sure you get past that and get a victory.
- [28:14]
B
Yeah. I mean, you got. Jane Daniels obviously has had some injuries, issues. The way you lost last weekend, you got to get a win. You don't want it to spiral. I mean, look how many teams, Matt, where we were just convinced they were certainly going to be a contender. And after a couple losses, we took them off the list. Buffalo is still on the list, but people are starting to doubt them. Just this Jacksonville team that should have stayed in Jacksonville went from this is the team to beat to they're getting destroyed by the Rams and now you have a lot of doubters.
- [28:41]
A
But can I ask you a question about this game, this, this Jacksonville Dallas game? Why is it so dark there? Do they. Do they not have. I mean, are you on the screen?
- [28:51]
B
Doesn't it look like.
- [28:53]
A
Doesn't it look like a high school game without.
- [28:55]
B
Don't the British like clouds? Aren't they like in the cloudiness? Isn't that like their whole, whole. Isn't that their whole makeup?
- [29:01]
A
I mean, I know it's nighttime over.
- [29:02]
B
Cloudy days and tea, but it's so.
- [29:05]
A
Dark in that stadium. It feels like they don't. It feels like they need to rework the lighting procedure there. They like that.
- [29:12]
B
I feel like the dreary.
- [29:13]
A
How big a deal CD Lamb coming back?
- [29:16]
B
I mean, because George Pickens has had some, some.
- [29:19]
A
He's been great big moments. Yeah.
- [29:21]
B
You know, so now he comes back and who, who gets those touches? I mean, that'll be the. That'll be up to Dak Prescott. But, you know, George Pickens is the kind of dude who. He's been loving his role so far. Yeah. If you remember anything about him in Pittsburgh, if you suddenly make him a secondary character, that dude is not going to be happy in the locker room no matter what happens. So they got to balance that.
- [29:42]
A
I think it's amazing to say anything about the Cowboys is under talked about, but it is kind of under talked about how good Dax been this year for a team that's two, three and one. I mean, this may be one of his first or second best season ever. The problem is the rest of the team has kind of been, you know, the Alice Cowboys, to quote someone. So you have to be very, very, you know, we underrated how good I think Dak has been during this part.
- [30:09]
B
I think Dak is that fifth quarterback. You know. I know, I know we kind of.
- [30:13]
A
Have that debate, that conversation, but he's been good.
- [30:15]
B
Well, I mean, I don't know.
- [30:17]
A
Tim or Baker.
- [30:17]
B
Yeah, I mean, but I mean, I don't know who has definitively taken that spot. I think he's a strong candidate.
- [30:24]
A
Yeah.
- [30:24]
B
Considering his track record, how long he's done this.
- [30:26]
A
He is. All right, so we're going to pick all the games. We have a record setting performance in college football. We're going to tell you who provided he's actually going to pick games with us.

B
Matt and Myron the podcast.
- [31:52]
A
It is Matt Myron on ESPN radio. Ready to rock. Looks like Rams are going to beat Jacksonville. It's 3572 minutes left there in London. We are getting ready. It is time to do our segment where we pick all the games and we always like to have a guest picker here with us. Matter of fact, it is now time for take your pick. Take your pick. You take your pick. It's time to take your pick with Matt and Myron and I'm excited to have this young man, Monte Quinn. He plays running back for Curry College. That is in Massachusetts. And yesterday he ran for 522 yards. Yes, you heard me right, 522 yards. So you're probably saying, oh, he must have carried the ball 60 times. No, he didn't. He carried it 20 times. Well, you must have said. Well, I mean, it must have been long runs. Yeah. But guess what? Seven touchdowns. Seven touchdowns against Nichols yesterday breaks the NCAA and D3 record of 465 yards that was set in many years ago and sets the D1 record was 427. He ran for 26 yards a carry. That's crazy. Monte Quinn. Monte, how are you?
- [33:05]
C
I'm doing good. It's blessed.
- [33:07]
A
Monte. What? Tell me. I mean, at some point yesterday, you were like, this is insane. I'm running for this many yards. When did that happen?
- [33:17]
C
Probably when my brother told me, like, during the second quarter, I had like, 216, and everybody was just telling me to break my record that I set against Nichols last year with 381.
- [33:29]
A
So. Yeah, but 381. But then you got to 522. I mean, 522 yards, that's Monty. It's wild.
- [33:38]
C
Yes, sir. All the credits go to the old lineman, though, and the receivers that was blocking out there yesterday. Yesterday for me.
- [33:44]
B
Yeah, I know you say that, but, I mean, every running back says that. In your situ.
- [33:49]
A
You.
- [33:49]
B
You're the one that was running. I mean, you get a lot of the credit. Do you know how crazy it is that your second best game is a 381 yard game? Like, that's amazing, Monty.
- [34:02]
C
I feel like it was. I'm. It's just. I don't know, but it's just. It's just a blessing to be on the field with that team.
- [34:10]
B
Yeah, players don't know how to explain how great they are is what.
- [34:13]
A
It also got you on ESPN Radio. So let me ask you a question. You're at Curry College. Let's give people a little notion of where that is. Where is Curry College?
- [34:22]
C
It's located in Massachusetts.
- [34:24]
A
What town? No one knowing. Okay, so where's the best place to eat? Close to Curry College.
- [34:34]
C
I probably have to say the only one. It's like a Jamaican spot.
- [34:39]
A
Ooh, there's a Jamaican spot in Milton, Massachusetts. How did that happen?
- [34:45]
C
Yeah, yeah.
- [34:48]
B
Like run by Jamaicans. Like, really? I got to get up there, man.
- [34:56]
A
All right, well, we're. Well, I have to. We will have to visit. Now, here's what's going to happen, Monty. I'm going to pick a. I'm going to tell you the game, you're going to tell me who's going to win in a sentence or two as to why. You got that?
- [35:08]
C
Yes, sir.
- [35:09]
A
All right, let's do it. It's take your pick, brought to you by the ESPN BET Sportsbook. Download the app today. 21 plus, if you have a gaming problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER what's the first game? Raiders at Chiefs. Raiders at Chiefs. That's right here on ESPN Radio. Myron, who you got?
- [35:25]
B
Rashid Rice comes back. I mean, it feels like Kansas City is, is on a roll now offensively, but that defense really stepped up against Detroit. Kansas City. Easy.
- [35:34]
A
All right. What about you, Monty?
- [35:37]
C
I agree. I feel like Kansas City Chiefs, they definitely stepped up with their offense and their defense is improving every week.
- [35:44]
A
Are you a Patrick Mahomes guy, Monty?
- [35:47]
C
Yes, sir.
- [35:49]
A
Yeah, I, I, I don't know how you don't pick the Chiefs here. I think they are on an absolute road. But I will acknowledge in the Chiefs run the last few years, Myron, the games against the Raiders at home have been difficult for them over and over. They've lost them a couple times. These games tend to end up being closer than you think. But I will take the Chiefs. What's next? Dolphins at Browns. Dolphins at Browns. Tua and Dylan, who you got? Byron?
- [36:16]
B
Well, you asked Monty if he's a Patrick Mahomes guy. He's probably an every team guy. He wants to play in the NFL, so he's in favor of everybody.
- [36:22]
A
Everybody.
- [36:23]
B
Dolphins had a team. Dolphins at a team meeting. I don't know if that makes a big difference or not, but I do think they win this game just because I think the Browns are that bad. But the defense is actually better.
- [36:35]
A
Actually give me the Browns.
- [36:35]
B
I'm actually taking the Browns.
- [36:36]
A
You're gonna take the Browns. All right, Monty?
- [36:40]
C
I feel like I'm gonna take the Dolphins.
- [36:43]
A
All right.
- [36:43]
C
I feel like the Browns don't know who's going to be the QB one. Dylan and Shador still fighting for that starting spot.
- [36:49]
A
Quinn, yours is the backup today for the Dolphins. I got the Dolphins as well. And I've learned. Monty, it's only one Jamaican restaurant in Milton, right?
- [37:00]
C
Yes, sir.
- [37:00]
A
Here it is.
- [37:01]
B
Oh, that's the name.
- [37:02]
A
Not like there's only one. No, no, it wasn't that. No, Myron, it's not.
- [37:06]
B
Oh, I thought it was like this one restaurant, like they make y' all eat Jamaican food because that's the only restaurant in town. That's what I thought you would say.
- [37:13]
A
That's not one. Okay, so what's up next?
- [37:14]
B
You have a lot of business? Yeah.
- [37:17]
A
Patriots at Titans. Mike Vrabel returns home. Myron, what do you got?
- [37:22]
B
I'm team Petty. I'm all about the pettiness. The Petty Olympics. I'm a gold Medalist. I hope Mike Vrabel puts 50 on him, you know, and then admits that that's what he was trying to do after the game. I think this is an easy win.
- [37:34]
A
For the Patriots, Monty.
- [37:38]
C
Even though I'm not a Patriots fan, I feel like the Patriots got this game.
- [37:43]
A
How are you? You're in Massachusetts and you're not a Patriots fan?
- [37:46]
B
Yeah, you gotta be careful about that money.
- [37:49]
C
It's like a New York and Boston thing.
- [37:52]
A
Oh, okay. So you're a New Yorker. Well, that makes sense. Well, I'm gonna agree with you. I'm gonna take the Patriots to win big in Nashville. What's next? Panthers at Jets. What do you got, Myron?
- [38:04]
B
Monte, you want to go to the NFL, say you're a fan of every single team we mentioned on this national broadcast. Okay. If they come up, say you're a fan because they might give you a shot one day. I will take the Panthers. I mean, they just beat, you know, they just beat, I think a couple of solid teams. Bryce Young has improved.
- [38:23]
A
Give me Panthers to win, Monty.
- [38:28]
C
I'm gonna go with the Panthers. I like Justin Fields. He's struggling to connect with his receiver. Number five.
- [38:35]
A
I like it. Did you grow up a Jets or a Giants fan in New York?
- [38:39]
C
A Jets fan.
- [38:40]
A
Jets. No. Garrett Wilson. Today I'm going to take the Panthers as well. I'd like to see your jets get a victory, but I don't think it's going to happen. Saints or what's next? Sorry. Saints and Bears to pick up the pace a little. Myron, what do you got?
- [38:55]
B
I think Bears got a big confidence boost last week with the win. Give me Chicago to win this one, Monty.
- [39:01]
C
I feel like the Bears too.
- [39:04]
A
The Bears are on a rally. Caleb Williams looked amazing in Washington. It is Caleb's time, even though Myron doesn't like him. Give me the Bears to beat the Saints at home. What's next?
- [39:17]
B
Eagles at Vikings.
- [39:18]
A
Big one. Myron, who you got? Eagles win.
- [39:21]
B
But I think the Vikings have bigger issues about their quarterback situation here. What. What they do going forward. But the Eagles win.
- [39:27]
A
The Eagles have lost two straight, Monty. Are they gonna be able to turn it around today?
- [39:32]
C
Yeah, I feel like the Eagles is gonna take this win.
- [39:38]
A
Yeah. So Jalen hurts. Gotta get. Got to get back on track this the game. The performance last week was really surprising to me, but I do think they get it. I will take the Eagles, by the way. Final in London. The rams beat Jacksonville 35 to 7 in the game in. In Jack in London. What's up Next. Colts at Chargers. Maybe the biggest game in the standings today. 5 and 1, Colts 4 and 2. Chargers. Who you got? Myron?
- [40:06]
B
I think they got more issues. I think Joe Alt is hurt for the charges. That offensive line is really banged up. I think the Colts go on the road and get this one.
- [40:14]
A
Monty.
- [40:18]
C
Yeah, this is a tough one, but I'm gonna go with the Chargers.
- [40:21]
A
I like it. Khalil Mack return could return for the Chargers today. I think the Chargers get the win. Daniel Jones little hiccup in big movement towards being MVP candidate loses today. I think Justin Herbert and charges get it. What's next? Giants at Broncos.
- [40:37]
B
Byron Broncos compressor quarterbacks. I mean, they do that well. They'll do that to the young guy. And Jackson Dart, they'll bottle up Scottaboo who will still take his shirt off for some reason. Give me the Broncos to win.
- [40:49]
A
Monty.
- [40:51]
C
I'm going with the Giants. Jackson, Burton, Cam Scal, they were doing anything.
- [40:56]
A
Look at this. He likes New York, New York even though he's a Jets fan. He's picking the Giants. I'm going to take the Broncos to win at home with Bo Nix. What's next? Packers at Cardinals.
- [41:08]
B
Myron, this game will be closer. You think the packers takeaways all season, which is a lot different than what they had last year. Cards will be in the game to the end, but give me the packers to win.
- [41:17]
A
Monty.
- [41:19]
C
I'm going with the Packers. The packers defense is overpowered.
- [41:23]
A
No Kyler Murray, by the way, for the Cardinals. They're going with Jogi, Jacoby, Brissette. I still think even with Jacoby, this is one of those games that you look up, eight minutes to go and it's a three point game and you're like, what is going on? I'll take the packers though. When they play in Arizona. It's all packers fans at the game. I think that's what will happen today too. What's next? Commanders at Cowboys. It's actually, I think Cowboys go ahead. What do you got, Myron?
- [41:47]
B
So they're at. They're in doubt. Dallas, it won't matter. I think Jayden Daniels has a big game after the loss last week. Losing two in a row is not ideal. It won't happen. Commanders win.
- [41:56]
A
Monty, can the boys do it?
- [41:59]
C
I feel like the Cowboys to do it this game.
- [42:03]
A
The defense, the defense has got to step up. It's been bad so far. I don't think they do. I'm going to say Jaden Daniels goes on the road, bounces back after the loss on Monday. Night gets a victory. Give me Washington. What's Next? Falcons at 49ers. Sunday Night Football. What do you got?
- [42:21]
B
Myron Raheem Morris said a couple weeks back that, you know, Bijan Robinson is the best player in football. I think all of us kind of laughed a little bit. He might be. I mean, we are watching some historic things right now from, from the young guy. Give me the Falcons to win this against Mac Jones.
- [42:36]
C
Monty, I'm going with The Falcons, too. 49ers got no Fred Warner. Bijan is going to. He's gonna do his thing again this week.
- [42:45]
A
Look at him with the injury report. I like it. You know my rule. Don't pick Falcons games one way or the other. I have no idea what to do in this one. I'm gonna take the 49ers, but I don't feel comfortable about it at all. By the way, what's the score, Evan, in the, in the, in the contest here. You don't know? Okay. I think I'm beating Myron by like five or six. We'll just, we'll just act like it if we're not. Monday Night Football's a double header. What's the first one? Buccaneers at Lions. Buccaneers alliance. It's a big one. This could get. I seem like I say this every time. Tampa Bay plays Byron. This could be proceeding in the playoffs.
- [43:22]
B
I mean, huge game. Lions need to pick it up after what happened last week against Kansas City. Defense broke down, offense was bottled up and you know the Bucks are going to be in the game to the fourth quarter even though they're only going to have like one and a half receivers. Give me the Lions to bounce back and win.
- [43:37]
A
What do you got, Monty at home. Detroit against Tampa Bay.
- [43:41]
C
I'm going with the Buccaneers. He's proven he could be an MVP candidate. I'm going with him.
- [43:48]
A
Well, he is a special talent. He's pulling off Monte Quinn like performances in Tampa Bay this year. He has, he has been amazing. I'm still going to take Detroit because the game is in Detroit. I'm going to take them to win at home. And finally, what's up? Texans at Seahawks. This game starts at 10 o'. Clock. This is going to be the known game known as Matthew will be asleep game. What do you have?
- [44:09]
B
Myers, Sam, Donald, man proven everybody that the Vikings should assign him. He'll look great. Seahawks win.
- [44:16]
A
Monty.
- [44:18]
C
I'm going with the Seahawks too. I'm going to take Walker.
- [44:23]
A
Yes, I do too. I'm going to take the Seahawks. The crowd, you know they have a weird situation where the Seahawks this year are winning all the games on the road and losing all the games at home. But I think that turns around and the Seahawks get the win. Monty, congratulations on that performance. Historic. Your name is going to be in the record books for all time. We really appreciate you taking the time to come on this morning.
- [44:46]
C
Thank you. It was a pleasure.
- [44:48]
A
522 yards, 20 carries and seven touchdowns. Monte Quinn for Curry College. Do you think you're, you'll ever do anything that impressive? Myron?
- [44:57]
B
No, but I want to see him thank himself. You know what I mean? Like, okay, yeah, the lineman and, but like, you read for 522 yards, it's. Those are video game numbers, man.
- [45:05]
A
You're the kind of guy who would win like a radio Emmy and then not get up there and thank me, right?
- [45:11]
B
I just walk into the stage first.
- [45:13]
A
He would start talking. You would act like you did the show by yourself. You'd be like, I'm so good. That's what happens. Monty, luckily, is not like that. Enjoy the games today. We'll see you later.
