Episode Overview

This episode dives into a classic Bobby Bones group chat, covering behind-the-scenes stories about run-ins with athletes, NFL and college football betting rollercoasters, Eddie’s so-called jinx, and a heated (and hilarious) debate about why the NFL’s “tush push” play might finally need to be banned. It’s a fast-paced, informal roundtable where each host brings stories, self-deprecation, and hot takes about football, fantasy, and gambling highs and lows.

Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. Bobby's "Athlete in the Wild": Andrew Whitworth in Boxing Class

• Story Segment: [05:05–15:14]
  • Bobby shares his experience going to a boxing class and discovering only one other guy in the almost-all-women class: retired NFL lineman Andrew Whitworth.
    • The group plays “20 Questions” to figure out the identity.
    • “He’s a giant. He’s probably 6’6, 6’7 – both ways, tall and a lineman.” — Bobby ([12:35])
  • Bobby describes the awkwardness of introducing himself, only for Whitworth to clearly not remember him.
  • Comic relief: While Bobby felt ignored, a fan approached him after and said she’d read both his books, providing a small ego boost.
    • “Some girl came up to me and goes, ‘Hey, are you Bobby Bones? I’ve read both of your books.’ So I think [Whitworth] felt like maybe he should have known who I was…” — Bobby ([15:29])

2. Betting, Jinxes, and Eddie’s Ongoing “Curse”

• Betting Stories: [16:07–23:05, 35:11–44:12, 59:29–44:47]
  • Bobby and crew rehash their betting weekends—mostly losses, until a surprise big win.
  • Eddie cops to bringing bad luck with his optimistic texts (“Let’s go, Ducks!” led to a parlay failure).
    • “[Oregon] pick was winning until you said, ‘Go, Ducks,’ which obviously affected it.” — Bobby ([17:39])
  • Brandon describes huge swings—losing $250 but hitting a four-leg parlay for $500: “What did I just unlock in myself, you know?” ([21:51])
  • Conversation on chasing losses: “If I’m going to make one bet to make up for the terrible bet that I made, I usually lose that bet, too.” — Bobby ([18:09])

3. "Tush Push" Controversy and NFL Rule Rants

• Tush Push Segment: [31:18–32:23]
  • Bobby reverses his stance, calling for the NFL to ban the Eagles’ “tush push” play.
    • “I’ve been pro Tush Push. I’m going to start to be ‘no more tush push’. One, because it’s boring as crap... Two, the refs can’t see it and the guys are cheating.” — Bobby ([31:52])
  • Complaints about the play being unstoppable (if O-line jumps early) and the officials unable to spot the ball.
  • “The tush push will not be here next year.” — Bobby ([32:10])

4. NFL/College Recaps, “Best of the Bad,” and Fantasy Etiquette

• Arkansas Football Rant: [27:42–29:31]
  • Bobby laments Arkansas’s ongoing struggles: “Are we the best of the bad teams or the worst of the good teams?” ([27:53])
  • Group discusses SEC bottom-feeders and the pain of losing one-score games.
• Fantasy Football Etiquette: [30:21–31:15]
  • Bobby calls out a league-mate for "premature congrats" messages before games are over.
    • “It’s kind of an unspoken rule. That’s effective, but it lacks integrity.” — Bobby ([31:13])

5. More Football Takes & Notable Stories

• Ken Rosenthal as "Not Nice": [26:33–27:17]
  • The group jokes about a viral clip of baseball reporter Ken Rosenthal giving a cameraman a look of “disgust.”

  • Rapid-fire reactions to Alabama, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Vandy, and Texas A&M results.
  • Noting Notre Dame remains in the Top 25 with two losses: “That’s the gold helmet right there. That’s the brand.” — Bobby ([49:44])
• Cowboys Recap & Kicking Heroics: [39:52–42:38]
  • Eddie recounts a stressful Cowboys win, watching on his phone from the parking lot.
  • Brandon marvels at kicker Aubrey’s 64-yard field goal.
  • “Thank God we have that guy.” — Eddie ([42:34])

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On awkward athlete encounters:
  “We’ve met before. And he had no idea who I was. No. So that whole thing was thrown…” — Bobby ([13:06])
• On Eddie’s curse:
  “Anytime you bet something...if you say something, you go opposite. And I’m like, ‘Oh, God.’ I have to question what I said.” — Bobby ([16:49])
• On college football pain:
  “Sam Pittman has a record of like 1 and 93 or something like that in one-score games. That’s not his literal record, but that’s what it feels like.” — Bobby ([28:34])
• On the tush push:
  “I’m never too good to change my mind upon learning new information. And the information is it sucks and it sucks to watch, and it’s boring.” — Bobby ([32:11])
• On betting success/fears:
  “My wife’s like, ‘I’m worried about you.’” — Brandon ([21:08])
• On TV producers targeting failed players:
  “Leave him alone. We know he screwed up. We don’t need to see him over and over.” — Eddie ([54:08])
• On Arch Manning and overhype:
  “He doesn’t throw from like a proper place ever. It moves around. It looks like he’s flinging — I don’t know, it’s almost like he throws sideways.” — Bobby ([56:48])

• Producer shenanigans: Eddie rails at TV producers for focusing too much on football players after mistakes, especially in college.
• Ban of “Two-Minute Warning” in college: The crew learns the NFL owns the term, so college has to call it “two-minute timeout.”

Summary

This episode is a mix of funny football stories (Bobby’s failed celebrity recognition with Andrew Whitworth), debates on sports and betting superstitions (Eddie’s “curse”), irreverent views on NFL strategy (“tush push” ban now!), and tales of betting heartbreak and luck. It’s a classic “hang out with the guys” episode loaded with football hot takes, relatable gambling confessions, and plenty of ball-busting.

Is a podcast called 25 whistles.

[Eddie]

Talking football.

[LG X Boom Advertiser]

And they all wear a whistle yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. Oh, welcome. Hit it, Eddie. Man, I really screwed everybody on that Oregon pick. I blame Dan Lanning, though, putting in the backups. We got Backdoor covered on that one. Yeah, man, that sucks.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Brandon hit me with a no.

[Eddie]

Brandon chimes in.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he chimed in a text. I didn't respond to it. Yeah, like, you know when somebody loses a bet, you don't really go, no.

[Eddie]

What do you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Eddie]

No, I know Brandon.

[Bobby Bones]

He goes, no. And then he hit his own with a haha.

[Brandon]

I don't want him to think I'm, like, completely devastated he didn't know it.

[Eddie]

I mean, the text you sent me to felt like you were completely devastated.

[Bobby Bones]

He went, no. And then I was like, okay, because I'm irritated. And then he hits it with a haha.

[Brandon]

Because I knew you'd feel that way.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't feel that way. I was like, haha. So stupid. Got backdoored hard. Oh, man. Not the first time, you know, I.

[Kevin]

Mean.

[Bobby Bones]

That'S what's up. I just wanted to address that at the beginning. I got some stuff to talk about. I went to a boxing. What Workout?

[Eddie]

Oh, I thought you said a boxing match. I'm like, you went to Canola?

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't even know who the other guy was.

[Eddie]

Me either.

[Bobby Bones]

But they were like, this is the event that personifies who the goat. And I'm like, I'm not gonna lie, I don't even know the other dude is.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I only know one goat there.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I went to a boxing class. It was Friday, late, and I was like, I don't feel like pushing myself, working out. So if I go to a class, I can get Pushed. And I go. And those classes, it's all girls. And there was one other guy in the class and let's play. Can you name the guy who was in the class?

[Kevin]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

Famous person.

[Bobby Bones]

Famous person.

[Eddie]

All right, so do we do 20 questions or do we just start guessing?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, just guessing would drive everybody crazy. Yeah, we can do. We can do questions.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Kevin, go.

[Kevin]

An artist?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Is he a sports figure?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Brandon]

MMA fighter?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's a good question.

[Kevin]

Currently playing or retired?

[Bobby Bones]

It has to be yes or no questions.

[Kevin]

Okay. Is he retired?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Did he play football?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. That's five. Are you guys working as a team?

[Eddie]

No, I like, I like the order.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I'm saying working as a team. Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Guessing the celebrity team sport.

[Bobby Bones]

Five down.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Brandon]

Did you say was he.

[Eddie]

I said football player and said yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys want to bet like five bucks on it or something?

[Kevin]

Like who could get it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, just like if you don't get it, you give me five bucks and.

[Eddie]

If I do get it, I'm gonna be honest. I'm kind of burned out on gambling. I just need a break.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe even if you lost a lot, then that sucks.

[Eddie]

Sorry, dude, that's like a one day break.

[Kevin]

Rough weekend. Come back on Thursday. Come back on Thursday.

[Bobby Bones]

Fair enough.

[Kevin]

Brandon.

[Brandon]

Does he have any history of boxing or fighting?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Kevin]

Is he married?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I can look it up, but I don't. I have no idea.

[Kevin]

So. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So not a part of his identity.

[Kevin]

Okay, I was gonna say. So he's not dating like another celebrity or anything? Did he play for the Titans?

[Eddie]

No, that's kind of where I was going. Like, did he play locally? Would you be like Vanderbilt Titans?

[Kevin]

Well, he's an NFL player, not the.

[Bobby Bones]

Titans, but he says like in high school here or college.

[Kevin]

Right.

[Eddie]

I think we would kind of have an idea of who it is if they played for Vandy or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that your question?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Do they play locally?

[Bobby Bones]

No. I'm gonna make sure, but the answer is no.

[Brandon]

Somebody take it. Take another question.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, the answer's now.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Kevin]

Have we ever had them on any of the podcasts?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay, big question.

[Eddie]

Hey, Kevin, any of the podcasts? Could be.

[Bobby Bones]

That's eight.

[Eddie]

Any of the podcasts. Okay, okay, so. So football players that we know, retired football players that live here. Did he. Is he in the hall of fame? No, not Jared Allen.

[Kevin]

That was nine.

[Bobby Bones]

I need to make sure.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Hey.

[Eddie]

Go ahead, dude.

[Brandon]

Oh, is it Clay Matthews Jr. No.

[Kevin]

Oh, good guess, good guess.

[Bobby Bones]

He is not in the hall of fame.

[Kevin]

Okay. He's been on the podcast.

[Eddie]

Would you want to ask like, a. Like a interrogation question? What?

[Kevin]

You can ask it.

[Eddie]

You know, it'll kind of narrow things down.

[Bobby Bones]

Do it again.

[Kevin]

Do we have. How many questions do we have?

[Eddie]

20. 20.

[Bobby Bones]

You have nine down.

[Kevin]

Okay, go ahead and ask, because I don't know what you were saying over there.

[Eddie]

No, you know what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't even know what you're saying.

[Brandon]

I really don't.

[Eddie]

Is the person Caucasian?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Kevin]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean? Interrogation?

[Eddie]

That's that in interrogations. Like, is it a white dude? Right, right, Exactly. Okay, maybe not comfortable in this setting, but an FBI setting?

[Kevin]

You thought I would want to ask that one? Is that what you're saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Possibly 10 to go. It's a white dude, didn't play for the Titan.

[Kevin]

Oh, Eric Decker.

[Bobby Bones]

Wrong.

[Eddie]

I think he would have passed the married test.

[Kevin]

Oh, duh.

[Brandon]

That was stupid.

[Kevin]

That was my own question, too.

[Brandon]

Can we ask a position?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Kevin]

Yeah. But you got to be like, oh, okay.

[Eddie]

Is it a quit? Was he a quarterback? You know, like, that's what I was.

[Brandon]

Gonna ask, but were you.

[Bobby Bones]

Nine questions left.

[Kevin]

I was gonna say, like, oh, you.

[Bobby Bones]

Like your order to. All of a sudden things aren't working out, and now you don't like the order. You like to bounce it off each other.

[Eddie]

I have a question.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Is he a bigger fella? Do you need me to be more specific? Like, over.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, no, because I won't know his weight. I'll go, yes.

[Brandon]

We don't know bigger as in taller or as in.

[Eddie]

Well, I kind of made the sign of bigger.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'm not doing hand motions. I'm only doing my answer is yes. So eight questions left.

[Eddie]

Okay. Stupid question. Hey, let's go. Positions.

[Kevin]

I was gonna say we gotta say either skilled or line, though, right?

[Eddie]

Just say, is he a skill position.

[Kevin]

Okay, well, yeah, but you said he's a big guy.

[Eddie]

Well, yeah, but it could be, like.

[Kevin]

Did he play offensive or defensive line? You.

[Bobby Bones]

You miss a question because you can't ask that. It's all yes or no. That question's dead, right?

[Eddie]

Oh, Kevin.

[Brandon]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You want to just re. Re. Ask it?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a question, though. It counts because I just warned him on it has to be yes or no question.

[Eddie]

We need that answer. So just ask it.

[Kevin]

Re.

[Eddie]

Think. Think about it. Think before you ask.

[Kevin]

Was he a lineman? Yes. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Six questions. Okay.

[Eddie]

I mean, does he live here? I feel like we have a good grasp on the athletes that live here.

[Kevin]

Who we missing?

[Brandon]

He could be visiting.

[Eddie]

Okay, Kevin. Kevin, think about guests on the podcast.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah, duh. Okay, let's go back to that. I forgot.

[Eddie]

That's. That's huge.

[Kevin]

Let's get back to that. Yeah. Oh, yes, I know you're right there. Say it.

[Brandon]

No, no, no.

[Kevin]

You go, Andrew Whitworth.

[Bobby Bones]

How'd you know that?

[Kevin]

Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

That's who it was.

[Eddie]

You boxed with him?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, He's a giant. And first of all. Hold on. Does he live here? I don't think he does.

[Kevin]

No, he doesn't live here.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have said, no, he doesn't live here.

[Kevin]

I have inside sources.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you saying that so femininely?

[Kevin]

That was.

[Brandon]

Me and Whit. We go way back.

[Kevin]

Tell us. No. That's so crazy. My buddy who's in town from California ran into him, like, on Friday night, I think, and they told me about it, so I knew he was in town.

[Bobby Bones]

The first thing you said is like.

[Kevin]

I forgot that he was in town.

[Eddie]

And the odds that his friend saw him and then you're boxing with them. Kind of weird.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's strong, I would think.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, go ahead.

[Kevin]

I was thinking, like, in studio. Lived here because we had him on.

[Bobby Bones]

And you guys kept going.

[Eddie]

He was on this podcast, assuming he.

[Bobby Bones]

Lived here and he never.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I guess. I don't know why I was thinking he lived here.

[Bobby Bones]

Andrew Whitworth, lineman for the Bengals and then the Rams. Super bowl champion on Amazon.

[Kevin]

Huge. Yes, huge.

[Bobby Bones]

What? What's up?

[Kevin]

Nothing. No, my buddy saw him on Friday.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the inside info?

[Kevin]

Oh, that was it. That was it. And my buddy, like, he stayed at.

[Bobby Bones]

The same hotel as him across the street from Rumble.

[Kevin]

I don't know if there's. At the Four Seasons.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I was just working out that Rumble, and there was a hotel right across the street.

[Kevin]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I just assumed that's where he was coming from.

[Eddie]

So I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know. Wait, so you don't know what he's doing here? I don't know what he's doing.

[Kevin]

No. I asked him that. He's like, I don't know. Because he was in Green Bay the night before.

[Bobby Bones]

He was.

[Kevin]

And then they saw him on Friday.

[Bobby Bones]

Green Bay. Shir on. That was like, Green Bay Athletic Club or something.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

From the night before, the only thing.

[Kevin]

I can think of is something with the Rams, but he doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

The Rams and. Oh, that's right.

[Kevin]

In town oh, you're right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a good question. Yeah, so I saw him. He's a giant. He's probably 6, 6, 6, 7. Also he's huge. Like both ways. Tall and lineman. And so. And he had a hat on. But he had AirPods in on his phone. But it wasn't like people were bothering because it was all girls and me. And so I saw him and he was just on his phone. It was like 15 minutes for class. And I was like, man, should I say something?

[Eddie]

Absolutely, absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't want him. And I don't think. And I never think this is the case, but it has happened before where someone sees me not saying hi to them and they think that I'm the jerk. So for some instance, because I believe him and I've met in person once and then on the show. I think we met at the ACMs this last year when I was doing whatever I was doing backstage the whole show, you know?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he was on the show and so I'm like, man, if I don't say hi to him and he's like, man, that dude's a douche. I'm not gonna feel good about that because I don't want to bother anybody anyway. And so he pulls an airpod out and I'm like, hey, Andrew. And he's like, hey. I was like, hey, I'm Bobby Bones. Just wanted to say hi. You've done my show. We've met before. And he had no idea how it was. No. So that whole thing was thrown and he was like, here's the. Cool, cool. That was it.

[Kevin]

That was it.

[LG X Boom Advertiser]

Wait, and then you had to do.

[Kevin]

A class with him?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we weren't partners.

[Kevin]

I know, but like, but like, you're still like, he wasn't not nice. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did you guys spar?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I won.

[Eddie]

Man.

[Bobby Bones]

That's.

[Eddie]

I would have bet money that he would have been like, oh, what's up, Bobby?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, no, no, no, no. He wasn't not nice. He just. We were going into a class. He's probably used to getting people. I wasn't gonna say anything to him if people were bothering him, but we were the only dudes and nobody else knew who he was because it was all, all young, you know, 25 to 32 year old females.

[Brandon]

I think that was a good move on your part though, because now you don't have to worry about it. Like, oh, I should have said it. I should have said something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was non eventful because he wasn't like what's up, best friend? But he also wasn't like, get out of here, you idiot.

[Eddie]

Leave me alone.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He did kind of try to act for a second like he knew who I was. I knew he didn't know, so I cut him some slack. I was like, hey. He goes, oh, yeah. And I was like, hey, all good. He was trying, you know.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Kevin]

So big old guy.

[Bobby Bones]

He's huge. I mean, he's huge. Mike. What's his. What's his stats height? 7 3, 36. 7. You can't miss him.

[Kevin]

No.

[Eddie]

Did you notice him right away?

[Bobby Bones]

Immediately?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Just because he was so big, you knew he was something. And then once he had a hat on his bald head, I was like, I think this Andrew Wentworth. And so I waited. He pulled the AirPod out.

[Kevin]

Anyway, there was another guy that was also in town.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. More intended.

[Eddie]

Come on. Just from the same sources.

[Kevin]

Baseball.

[Bobby Bones]

Who?

[Kevin]

Pitcher Jared Weaver would never get that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Jared Weaver.

[Kevin]

That's why I didn't play the game.

[Bobby Bones]

But I was just letting you know.

[Kevin]

He was good, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I want to shout out a girl, though. And from my boxing class, because as soon as I said hey, and he was like, oh. And he didn't know who I was, some girl came up to me and goes, hey, are you by Bones? I've read both of your books.

[Kevin]

Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think he felt like maybe he should have known who I was, but he didn't scream, pull all the.

[Kevin]

Books and give it to him. Here you go.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know who she was, but she was so nice. The timing was perfect. She was like, I have both of your books still up. And I was like, thank you very much. I looked over, I was like, is he still looking? His AirPods are back in. He didn't notice his AirPods were back in. So, yeah, I do have some notes I like to go through. My notes I wrote Eddie Jinx and the Ducks.

[Eddie]

Oh, boy. That's number one in your notes.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two, Andrew Whitworth. Number one, to be fair.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Eddie]

All right. I feel better.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a thread rule of you don't get positive about what you might win in any way.

[Eddie]

You don't even know. You don't even know what I was referring to. I had just turned the game on. I was like, let's go, Ducks.

[Bobby Bones]

What did you do? No, no. Because what I simply was. Oh, I turned it on. Northwestern still has time to cover this. And then they score. Then Oregon scored. Nettie goes, Go, Ducks. Exclamation.

[Eddie]

No. I had just gotten home, and I turned on the tv. I'm like, all right, let's go, Ducks.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, there's no positivity. And also, you're kind of bad luck.

[Eddie]

What is that?

[Kevin]

How.

[Eddie]

How am I bad luck?

[Bobby Bones]

Because you don't win.

[Eddie]

I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

And anytime you bet something, this has long been the rule, if you say something, you go opposite. And I'm like, oh, God. I have to, like, question what I said.

[Kevin]

You go Bangles, you go Packers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Really, Kevin.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry.

[Kevin]

Sorry. I didn't mean that. I was just throwing out random teams.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You saw at the end of that press conference. Well, I guess it was unfilled. The interview with Dan Lanning, the Oregon coach, where he was like, he wanted to say he's sorry he didn't cover, but he couldn't. He said, you know, we really did not play well in the fourth quarter. And I knew what he meant.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he did.

[Bobby Bones]

He meant he's sorry they didn't cover. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Because they were covering.

[Bobby Bones]

They were covering. And then.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah, they're.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie. And I timestamped him because Eddie's like, it's not my fault. And I said, timestamp.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't say it wasn't my fault. All I said is like, how about let's blame your pick. Let's blame the fact that you picked that bet.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that pick was winning until you said, go, Ducks, which obviously affected it.

[Eddie]

Obviously.

[Bobby Bones]

Obviously.

[Eddie]

Of course it did. Hey, that was crazy, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

And I told all my kids, too, and they were like, all right, dad.

[Kevin]

Dad.

[Eddie]

So that means. Means they have to score two touchdowns now. I'm like, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then Eddie hits his back and goes, how are we going to make our money back from this? And I'm like, oh, I don't really do that. I like to chase. But I don't want to, like, one. One shot, because then I end up two shots down. If I do one shot possible. For sure, that happens to me most times.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If I'm going to make one bet to make up for the terrible bet that I made, I usually lose that bet, too, because it's almost like I'm triggered. I'm triggered while betting.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, oh, son of a gun. Okay, let's pick this one.

[Kevin]

Especially when you're that close. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Right after that, though, and I didn't bet it, Eddie said, I'm going with Georgia Tech.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna make it all back on Georgia Tech.

[Kevin]

Oh, that's Right. And that was like right at the end of that game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Did they win? I mean, did you.

[Eddie]

Did you bet it? I did.

[Kevin]

I didn't bet it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool though.

[Eddie]

I bet it and I made all my money that I lost back.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, good. Then how are you so sad about betting?

[Eddie]

Well, dude, you're talking a whole weekend of betting Saturday. Those were the early games on Saturday, dude.

[Brandon]

The roller coaster, man.

[Bobby Bones]

My.

[Brandon]

My first week of DraftKings, man. I just.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you Draft King did Roller coaster.

[Brandon]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. How'd you do?

[Brandon]

First of all, promo code, Bobby Sports, if you don't know, apparently I've had a DraftKings account, so I was like, oh, I can't even use the promo code. So took your advice on the Oregon. Thanks, Eddie. Put a.

[Bobby Bones]

The blame's not me. You just lost so much. We blame you now. Even when it's not your fault, we blame you.

[Brandon]

So Thursday night, that's when I started. I put. I was like, oh, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna deposit like 250 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Hang baller, let's go.

[Brandon]

And so I was like, right.

[Bobby Bones]

Put.

[Brandon]

It on some like parlays. Like I was just like, just trying stuff. Nothing. Hit nothing.

[Eddie]

How are you. Can I ask you, how are you betting parlays and how much would you put on?

[Brandon]

I do like 5 or 10 games. Yeah, games. And then like anytime TD score, like.

[Bobby Bones]

I was just trying. That's fine.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Brandon]

You know, none of them hit. I was like, oh, it's a bummer. So then I put a hundred bucks on the spread for Oregon. Lost it.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you feeling good about it the whole time?

[Brandon]

I was, dude. And then I was like, oh, well, they're, they're only 27 ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing them. All of a sudden you become a mathematician.

[Brandon]

I've got the calculator.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you know, same.

[Brandon]

And so, so that, that loss. The only thing I won that day is I just did like a two pick parlay for Georgia and LSU. I won like 22 bucks. I was like, okay. So I put the rest. I was like, I've got to do something.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, no, I gotta do something.

[Brandon]

So I put 15 on a four pick parlay.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Brandon]

Anytime TD scores. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Four different ones.

[Brandon]

Four.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you use a ghost leg?

[Brandon]

So that's coming. So I.

[Eddie]

Come on, come on.

[Kevin]

I did.

[Brandon]

Amon Ross. St. Brown.

[Bobby Bones]

Touchdown Malik Neighbors. Touchdown.

[Brandon]

DK Metcalf.

[Bobby Bones]

Touchdown Devonte Adams. I won 500 bucks, y'.

[Eddie]

All.

[Bobby Bones]

He's read, he's read.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Brandon]

Then my ghost leg Parlay. I picked three teams to win one. Didn't I still hit it. That's 65 bucks. Then I hit, like, three more anytime TD scores for like 200 bucks. Like, I made, like 750 bucks this weekend.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Brandon]

My wife's like, I'm worried about you.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, the Reed chair.

[Eddie]

Have you called DraftKings and told him to tell them to block your account?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know Reed did that?

[Brandon]

Did he really?

[Bobby Bones]

He won so much, he called them to block his account? No, because he was. He had a problem. Because he was worried.

[Eddie]

No, just in case he had a problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he was worried. He's gonna love it so much he called them and had it blocked.

[Brandon]

I was just wondering, but you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Put a little stopper in my A week.

[Kevin]

And Reed didn't even know anything about sports either. Wouldn't watch the games.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. Brandon, that's awesome.

[Kevin]

That's great.

[Brandon]

I. I got the bug and I probably need to call DraftKings. I mean, it was. It was so exciting.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It is very.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Brandon]

What did I just unlock in myself, you know?

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Congratulations, Brandon.

[Kevin]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I had a big, big Sunday. Like, first of all, I made all my money back in the Georgia Tennessee game. Plus, I justified it as. I'm not chasing that, but I feel pretty strongly that George is not going to lose this. What a game, though. When that Tennessee kicker missed that kick, my wife and I were watching, and she was like, man, I'd like to see Georgia win, but I don't want to see that poor guy, like, miss this kick.

[Eddie]

That poor kid. Dude, he looked like he was my son's age.

[Brandon]

He looked 12 for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

He did. I was happy he missed. And I made, like a thousand bucks off that game.

[DraftKings Responsible Gambling Message]

Come on.

[Eddie]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

So that was awesome. And then I made about a thousand bucks yesterday and NFL, because I hit a bunch of random touch. Everybody's scoring touchdowns.

[Kevin]

Yeah. A lot of points.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I sent you guys a bet that I made. The one parlay that I made with the ghost leg was a 5 gamer. I didn't even need the ghost leg because I thought the Cowboys were gonna lose. I was cursing them. I'll take stupid Cowboys garbage. And then they hit two, so I didn't even need to go. So I get a five gamer.

[Brandon]

Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a good weekend. Sorry about the Oregon bed, everybody. That's on me. With a little side of Eddie.

[Eddie]

That a boy.

[Kevin]

Dude.

[Eddie]

Hey, we take responsibility with a little side, okay?

[Bobby Bones]

Check us [e-mail] Ken Rosenthal, the video.

[Kevin]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Does not seem like a nice guy.

[Kevin]

Not good.

[Eddie]

You saw he's the bow tie guy.

[Bobby Bones]

He is the baseball wears a suit.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So they were dumping the. It was the Brewers. When they clinch, they were dumping the water. And so he jumps back and he runs into his cameraman. His cameraman falls down and Ken Rosenthal turns out, looks at him like you're disgust. Like a disgusted look.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah, it was bad. The look was like, why are you even like in the vicinity of me?

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, you are not me and you'll never be me. And why did you do this?

[Kevin]

Doesn't help him up.

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing, Nothing. It was bad. So I wrote that in my notes.

[Eddie]

That's a good note.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't like that one.

[Brandon]

Oh, he looks like an angry dad right there.

[Bobby Bones]

You watching the video?

[Brandon]

I'm just looking. I just see a picture of Ken.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a look of disgust.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah, he's got little man syndrome.

[Bobby Bones]

The camera guy was doing nothing except his job.

[Brandon]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Take an awesome picture of the water being dumped.

[Bobby Bones]

And he wouldn't have been hit except for Rosenthal jumped back and hit him. Not cool, Ken. Or as Kevin would say, not cool Ken.

[Brandon]

I have sources.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's take a second and talk about Arkansas football. Because I'm trying to decide are we the best of the bad teams or the worst of the good teams? And I don't know.

[Eddie]

That's A fair question.

[Bobby Bones]

So what happened was we were like a 7, 8 depending on what point in the week. Underdog. I didn't bet that. I didn't feel good about it. Then it's announced their starting quarterback is not going to play. Their backup quarterback is going to play who ole misses. Yeah. Won a National Championship Division 2 school last year. And so I'm like, well, I want to go gobble up some of this. And so I did just a little. And our defense didn't stop anybody. It was terrible. And we've known all year we've played lesser schools and our defense has been an issue. And also we lose every game by one score. I think Sam Pittman has a record of like 1 in 93 or something like that in one score games. That's not his literal record, but that's what it feels like.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And every year there's a game where people are like, we're just one away. That was Oklahoma State last year when people were like, we're playing probably a team that's going to be in the playoff. Oklahoma State sucked. Mississippi State's last night they were not that good with their backup quarterback. Or Saturday night, whatever night it was, I was so disgusted. But are we the best of the bad or the worst of the good? And I think we're the best of the bad. I think if you lined up all the bad teams, we beat them all, we'd be the king of the bad teams.

[Kevin]

Bad as in like name another team that you would probably put in that category.

[Bobby Bones]

Great question.

[Eddie]

Like smaller school?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I put like power four teams that aren't ranked. I was going to go Mississippi State, but they, they're winning now.

[Kevin]

I know that's what Virginia Tech.

[Bobby Bones]

They're bad.

[Kevin]

They're bad.

[Bobby Bones]

They're better.

[Kevin]

We're better than UCLA's bad.

[Eddie]

What about Clemson?

[Bobby Bones]

UCLA fired their coach.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh yeah. I saw that.

[Bobby Bones]

Clemson's cursed. I put the curse on him.

[Eddie]

I know. Good job, dude.

[Kevin]

Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

I was so happy.

[Brandon]

Oh, man. I said the Whistler curse.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

The great Whistler.

[Bobby Bones]

The great Whistler curse. 2003. That's right. Yeah. I like Clemson fans individually. I don't even mind their fans uniform together. Just I'm against them because Dabo big timed us and that's what's up.

[Kevin]

Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good one too.

[Bobby Bones]

There's not a lot of teams in the SEC were better than though.

[Kevin]

Florida's one.

[Bobby Bones]

Our offense looked great. We did not have a defense, so we lost. That was ugly. We Fumbled the last possession.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I know, it's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife didn't even, like, reach out. I just went to bed upstairs.

[Eddie]

She knows better.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, okay. Got more notes. Messaging someone during a fantasy game whenever you're losing to go, hey, man, you won. Great game.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't do that. Right?

[Kevin]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

And so who were you playing? Well, I was playing Kevin Klug.

[Kevin]

That's such a clue.

[Bobby Bones]

And Klug hits me up. Klug hits me up and goes, hey, you were the better team this week. Congratulations. And I'm like, dude, it's like 65 to 35% up in the projected. I'm like, the game's far from over. He goes, no, you're the winner. Your team's better. He comes back and it just goes crazy. It's like Chubba Hubbard.

[Kevin]

Hubbard.

[Bobby Bones]

He went off and he went off the fourth quarter, and so he overtook me. And we're gonna be like the top two scorers in the league of that week. And so. But it's just kind of an unspoken rule. I said, that's effective, but it lacks integrity.

[Kevin]

Nice. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You don't really do that.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't really do that until it's over. You don't really do that. You know?

[Kevin]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So I have that. I have a note on the Eagles, and I think now it's been shown multiple times, but those Eagles guards, they jumped twice on the tush push. They were. They were early. Two times they needed to get the first down, and they got the first down. I'm a, hey, everybody's just mad at the tush push because they can't do it. Guy. One, they're cheating because their guys are jumping early. And two, the refs can't. Anything close. The refs can't call that. It's not a first down because you can't see the ball.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I've been pro Tush push. I'm going to start to be. No more tush push. One, because it's boring as crap. That was the only reason I didn't, like, should exist. But it's so boring. And secondly, the refs can't see it and the guys are cheating. You can't stop it if you're letting the offensive lineman jump early. And they did twice. The tush push will not be here next year.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll say it now. And I was pro. And I can admit, when there's new information, I will change my mind. I'M never too good to change my mind upon learning new information. And the information is it sucks and it sucks to watch, and it's boring.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And even the refs are like, we can't call this. What do you want us to do? So touch, push. Thumbs down for me. Okay, so what else I got here? I got like three other things. How about the Colts? Holy crap.

[Kevin]

Any dimes?

[Bobby Bones]

They won again. They won again. And that. Did you guys watch the game at all?

[Eddie]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you watch the end?

[Kevin]

I. Of course. The last. The only part of miss was the fourth quarter.

[Eddie]

Well, that was the best.

[Kevin]

I know, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Wild how the game ends. So the kicker goes and misses a field goal. Game over, the Colts lose. Except you can't touch the long snapper, the deep snapper. You can't touch him until he's up. You can't touch him. It's for safety, protection. Your head's under. You can't touch them. And so they did, and they got leverage called against them.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

15 yards goes up, makes the field goal. Game over, Colts 2. And now what's also fun is that their president. I think she's a daughter of versa. She wears. Oh, yeah, she wears ears to hear what's going on.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's funny while they're winning, and it's novel while they're winning, but if they start losing, it's okay. You know why they're losing? Because the coaches can't even be coaches because they got somebody up in their butt. I know, but if they're winning with it, they're like, look how involved she is.

[Kevin]

At first I was like, dang, that's awesome. Then I'm like, well, actually, I don't know what you want your boss, like, hearing every little thing you're talking about in con.

[Eddie]

And she had, like, a notepad, too. Like, what was she writing down? Did you see that?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see Gronk taking notes or. Gronk.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah, I get.

[Bobby Bones]

I get Twitter. And Gronk was taking notes. And Tom Brady's like, he's never took a note in his Life.

[Brandon]

Yeah, right.

[Kevin]

11 years playing with him, never saw him take a note.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Brandon]

I was blasting that. This is our cult.

[Kevin]

This is our cult.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't get in my head, okay? I got three of the things. TikTok is to be banned September 17th again.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

The delay was until then. So I just have that written here. I don't know why I put it on this page. Maybe I supposed to go another I think it was Tik Tok banned September 17, two days from today, unless they give another extension. Okay. Red Zone. One of the big controversies was on the Red Zone. They put bars up on the side of the television. Do you guys see yesterday?

[Eddie]

No, I didn't notice.

[Kevin]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So people are crying because of that. And then the 15 seconds of commercial. That happens, like, every three hours.

[Eddie]

I thought I would be affected by that, but it doesn't bother me none.

[Bobby Bones]

And the bars don't affect anything either. I watched this whole video of this guy going like, you took 10% of my screen. I want 10% of the money back because you're taking up 10% of my football.

[Kevin]

That's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

We're so dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

People are so dumb. It's doing nothing. It literally affects nothing. And also, you don't watch Red Zone to see more of the field. You watch it so you can watch all the games, Right? Exactly.

[Kevin]

And you're watching just play by play, not the whole game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And Red Zone. I got a little, like, motion sick with Red Zone yesterday.

[Eddie]

Like, it's too much.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Not literally, but it was just, like, overstimulation. It was like 1, 1, 1. So I just flipped off, went to, like, the Cowboys game. Watch that for a while. Flipped over and went to the Bengals game, which leads me to my next one. Joe Burrow's out probably the whole year. So when we talk about the great curse of Eddie, the hits just keep coming. Would you agree, though?

[Eddie]

No, no, I don't agree. I mean, it's an injury, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, no, no, I know, but we said curse.

[Eddie]

But, like, how am I controlling an injury? A stupid toe? Like, part of me is like, look, Joe, just cut it off, man. We need you. Like, what do you really need? We need you, man. We really need the Bengals.

[Bobby Bones]

The turf toe is a foot injury, and it's surgery.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they shouldn't name it turf toe, because that sounds fun.

[Eddie]

It does sound fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like a fun injury to get, but it's not. It's. It obviously. It's completely debilitating.

[Eddie]

You know how when you're running, like, in the grass, and you accidentally, like, oh, my toe drags a little bit. Like, that's what is. But it's not, apparently.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So we have the Bengals in our little buy a team league, and the controversy is. And was not even controversy at first, but I was like, hey, let's go to the Packers. Eddie's like, so with the Bengals, I was like, you know what? You're on this Team, we'll do the Bengals. And then Eddie comes on and goes, if the Bengals are bad, it's my fault. So, please, God, Bengals. I like the Bengals.

[Eddie]

I've prayed every night, like, please, God. Like.

[Bobby Bones]

But I wasn't like, no Bengals of those teams. I was like, I picked the packers for the Bengals, but if you want to take the Bengals, we'll do the Bengals. And he. Quick. Bengals. Okay, got it. It turns out the packers are awesome, and the Bengals now are down a guy.

[Kevin]

Hindsight's 2020 now, a couple weeks later. But, like, did the Parsons trade have anything to do with it?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, great.

[Eddie]

I. I would have said no because.

[Kevin]

It was right after the Parsons trade.

[Eddie]

I try to keep that stuff, like, separate in my head. Like, I wasn't trying to get emotional on a pick like that. But, yeah, now I definitely probably was part of it.

[Kevin]

Like, if it was a couple weeks later, and you would have been like, I'm kind of over now.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Obviously, I didn't want the packers to be that trade. I don't want anyone to be like, oh, thank you, Jerry. Like, thank you. Because of you, now we're really good. So, yes. Part of it was like, yeah, we're not picking the Packers. Do we really want to be a Packers team, though?

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter. You just want to win.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's money.

[Kevin]

This is. I mean, I only say that because I struggle, too. Rooting for the Chiefs has been the hardest thing ever for the first two weeks, but.

[Eddie]

Well, don't worry about it. They suck, too.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't. They don't think. I beat by three. Kelsey lost that game for them. Kelsey makes that.

[Kevin]

They need a receiver bad.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude. Every time a receiver catches the ball. Who is that?

[Bobby Bones]

I. I think, though, they win the game if Kelsey catches that ball, because that was also the interception in the end zone. Two weeks in a row, he's done that. And they've played two of the best teams and been right there.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I agree with that. They played two really good teams. They have, I think, the Giants coming up. So we got a shot.

[Eddie]

But I don't know what to think about the Eagles, like, because the Cowboys. I mean, the Cowboys almost beat the.

[Bobby Bones]

Eagles, but without the best defensive player, too.

[Eddie]

I know he spit. You do not spit. Yeah, but I feel like we don't have a good gauge of what we're dealing with with the Eagles here, because, like, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

It's called a Super bowl championship. Yeah.

[Kevin]

Two.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they're two. And, oh, yeah. They basically have the Same team and they win.

[Kevin]

I mean, Arrowhead is tough to play, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Joe Burrow. It's going to cost us a lot of money, him getting injured.

[Eddie]

Well, we got Jake Browning.

[Kevin]

Jake Browning.

[Eddie]

I mean, Jake Browning.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd like to say two words.

[Eddie]

He ain't no. What do you call it? What does TLC say? Scrub. Ain't no scrub.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what you went to.

[Brandon]

Scrub?

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you're gonna say, like, slouch.

[Eddie]

Nah, man.

[Kevin]

Scrub.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. I. I got two words. Jake, Kirk Cousins. Go get him. Yeah, man, go get them.

[Eddie]

I was starting to think, like, who's at home right now that they could get Castle. We start saying we.

[Bobby Bones]

I know Matt Castle. Let's get up.

[Kevin]

We should advocate for Castle.

[Brandon]

What about Tannehill, man? Where's that guy?

[Eddie]

He's on the couch.

[Kevin]

I think he. He's on the.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that I'd want Tannehill over Brown.

[Brandon]

No, that's true, because I.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he won some games last year. He threw three interceptions yesterday, but that's a tough place to be in. Just run out there. He did make that last drive. Look, I think the Bengals can still hover around 500, hopefully, but that sucks.

[Eddie]

That's the goal.

[Bobby Bones]

That sucks.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We have the Patriots. They won. What a weird game. They were just returning.

[Kevin]

My God.

[Bobby Bones]

Returning punts, returning kickoffs for touchdowns, throwing pigs, getting pig.

[Kevin]

I mean, nobody wanted to win that game. My entire, like, two hours was just up and down, up and down, up and down. But they won. Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

So those are all my notes.

[Eddie]

You didn't put the Cowboys on your notes?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I thought we could talk about that. Just because I know we all watch that, and I just keep notes as I go to make sure I don't forget things. Yeah, we can go to the Cowboys game. You want to do that?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Eddie]

I think I'm still recovering from that game. Like, I had high blood pressure. I had a headache. That just happened in the fourth quarter where I'm like, this is too stressful for me. I had dropped. So my wife calls me and says, you got to take your son to practice or to a tryout. He's got a tryout at 3 o'.

[Kevin]

Clock.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, what sport?

[Eddie]

Basketball. I'm like, okay, I can watch most of the game at home. Then I can put it on my phone, drop him off, and then maybe just the game will be over by then. I can watch on my phone. Well, I drop him off, I end up watching the rest of the game. On my phone in the parking lot of this high school. And I wasn't moving because this game was intense. And I want to say a win is a win in the NFL, and I'll take it. But I just don't understand who these Cowboys were. They weren't the Cowboys that played the Eagles. I don't know if it's just something being at home.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, their office looks so good.

[Kevin]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

But the fact that the defense, man.

[Eddie]

And I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Neighbors just getting open.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Though.

[Eddie]

That long. That long. Ball.

[Bobby Bones]

We made zone.

[Eddie]

We made.

[Brandon]

It's wild.

[Eddie]

We made Russell Wilson look like Tom Brady.

[Bobby Bones]

And they were, like, platooning quarterbacks for a while because they put Jackson dart in.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Then Russell Wilson. And then Wilson throws a bomb, and then Wilson just stayed in. I'm surprised you guys won that.

[Eddie]

Me, too. And I know we have secondary issues. We have two guys out in our secondary, but I mean, guys.

[Kevin]

Trayvon Diggs, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Diggs got burned.

[Kevin]

Over and over, burned.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, but you gotta win.

[Eddie]

We gotta win in the NFL.

[Bobby Bones]

Just get the W and get out of town.

[Eddie]

We'll take it.

[Kevin]

Good thing you have probably the best kicker right now.

[Brandon]

Oh, my God, 64.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that.

[Kevin]

Yeah, 64. I mean, no problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Also to tie it with. They had extra time, let the clock dribble down. They were just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll just do it. It wasn't like, let's rush and get another four yards. No, yeah, they were just like, yeah, no problem.

[Eddie]

Just get it to the 64 yard.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're just gonna get it there. Aubrey's got it.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

They always tell the story where it's like he was just on his couch because he was drafted into the MLS and it wasn't going well. And so then he started, like, leaning on his engineering degree. Yeah, Chuck sure did. What a guy. Well, yeah. And then all of a sudden, his wife sees him kicking field goals on television. He's like, I can miss those. She's like, well, why don't you get out there? And so he did. Then he hired.

[Eddie]

He went straight from the. To the couch into the field.

[Bobby Bones]

Then he hired a kicking coach once. He got a little serious about it, and the next thing you know, to hear the ball is up and good. All right, we're going.

[Kevin]

All right.

[Eddie]

You missed the part where they said, and his first kick ever was 64 yards.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a thing?

[Eddie]

Yeah, he said. When they. Of the field, he said his first kick ever was, like, 60 yarder.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, 64?

[Eddie]

Well, no, not 64, because that was the actual kick.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I thought, like, wow.

[Eddie]

But he said the first kick that he ever. A field goal that he ever kicked, even at the little school that he went to was 60 yards.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Eddie]

I mean, thank God we have that guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Who do you guys have next week?

[Eddie]

The Bears.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you can win that. They look terrible. They look terrible.

[Eddie]

But see, that's what I said is like, who do you have next week? We have the Giants at home. Oh, you got that. Oh, so stressful.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You won.

[Eddie]

I'll take it.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not gonna win a lot.

[Eddie]

I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. I mean, you're not going to win a lot.

[Eddie]

Who wins more, the Cowboys or the Bengals?

[Bobby Bones]

I think they're about the same and.

[Eddie]

Because if they're.

[Bobby Bones]

But here's the thing.

[Eddie]

Terrible. I'm gonna have a bad year. Like, I'm just gonna be in a bad mood all year.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so on our little team, we have the Patriots, which I don't think they're that good. I don't think they're as good as I had hoped, but I think they can actually get better. Yeah, I think they will grow this season.

[Kevin]

Yeah. They still had 12 penalties. I mean, it's. It was sloppy.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Drake May will get a lot better. He actually ended up throwing the ball, having good stats yesterday.

[Kevin]

Yeah. He played well.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think at variable teams, we've seen them up close, they get better as the year goes. So I do have a little hope, because I don't think the jets are that good.

[Kevin]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Buffalo is going to ring.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And the Dolphins suck.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they're going to play all three of those teams twice.

[Kevin]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we have the Patriots. We'll see. What's about the Bucks tonight? Yeah, the Bengals. Oof. And I still feel good about the Chiefs, but they have a really hard schedule. Like, really hard.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, we're guys. This could be an expensive year.

[Kevin]

Hey, I started a. Like, a savings account.

[Eddie]

Oh, I thought you said we say go fund me.

[Kevin]

No, we can start that for all of us.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, we could lose thousands of dollars.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I already started one where I'm just contributing every week and just let it build.

[Eddie]

Smart.

[Bobby Bones]

We need the Bucks to win so we don't go in the red this week.

[Eddie]

Yeah, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That. That. We'd have won four of our six.

[Kevin]

I will say it wasn't as stressed in week two as week one, though.

[Bobby Bones]

More, because the Bengals and the freaking Patriots were, like, going back and forth the whole game. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, that Bengals game, dad, we weren't supposed to win that at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Through some games here. We've done a lot of them though, but Alabama rocked. Wisconsin really didn't have a shot that game.

[Kevin]

Alban. I know it's Wisconsin, but man, they look good.

[Bobby Bones]

Ty Simpson look good. Lsuv, Florida, not a lot to say. Lightweight, looked terrible. I think he did five interceptions, five picks.

[Kevin]

How about Brian Kelly? You see the post game I did where you yelled at the reporter? What are you doing?

[Eddie]

Stupid question.

[Kevin]

Yeah, what are we doing?

[Bobby Bones]

Not a likable guy.

[Kevin]

Not at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Miami beat South Florida. Kind of showed that. Hey, you guys are pretty good, but you aren't top 10 yet.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that game was. That game was over pretty quick too.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Vanderbilt, South Carolina, now that game got uglier at the end. It was pretty close up until halftime. Right?

[Kevin]

Because I know, like mid third quarter, really.

[Bobby Bones]

Sellers went down South Carolina's quarterback. But hey, good for Vandy.

[Brandon]

What a win.

[Bobby Bones]

They're winning games they never would have won even two or three years ago.

[Kevin]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

And then the Texas A M. Notre Dame game was good. That was awesome.

[Brandon]

Really good game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was good.

[Eddie]

So good for A M. That poor backup quarterback.

[Kevin]

Oh, the holder.

[Bobby Bones]

Notre Dame has two losses now, right?

[Kevin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Are they done?

[Bobby Bones]

They're still in the top 25. I saw this morning.

[Kevin]

Weird. No way. Really?

[Bobby Bones]

I went to look at the, look at the AP, look at 8 right now, but no, 8 was what they were.

[Kevin]

Okay. That's what they were. Sorry.

[Brandon]

I was like, there's no way.

[Bobby Bones]

It should have come out like 50 minutes ago because it comes out at noon, I believe, Eastern if you can't find it. I could have just seen Somebody's poll that they put up because everybody makes polls now. NFL games.

[Eddie]

So many good ones.

[Brandon]

Are they 24?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah. 24. Yep. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Owen 2.

[Kevin]

Wow.

[Eddie]

02.

[Bobby Bones]

24 rank 24. That's the brand.

[Eddie]

That's the gold helmet right there.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the brand.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Arkansas plays them two weeks. Are you.

[Brandon]

You're going, right?

[Bobby Bones]

If we lose to Memphis, I probably won't go. We play at Memphis this year. I probably will go anyway.

[Eddie]

It was Notre Dame and Fayetteville. That's got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'll probably go.

[Kevin]

It's gonna be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm still feeling emotional about that long. We just fumbled on last freaking drive. We do it all the time.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see. Games we haven't talked about. Rams, Titans. As ugly. Puka ran a touchdown in. I watched that. It was like a fourth and one they handed to him on that little. Little like.

[Kevin]

Yeah. End around kind of. Yeah. Sweep thing. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And like he was like. And like he was tackled, but he like got in between guys and scored a touchdown.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Devonte had a good game, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Niners and Saints. The Saints are gritty, but they suck. And the Niners had Mac Jones start after that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

Three touchdowns. Come on, Mac.

[Bobby Bones]

Bills and Jets. That game was. It was just ugly.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I got a concussion. The quarterback.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Justin Fields. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably what?

[Kevin]

No, I was gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

I better.

[Kevin]

Yeah. No, I didn't say it.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's their backup?

[Kevin]

Tara Taylor.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Kevin]

Yeah, he came in. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What was weird was when they said he was in, I was like, for. I thought it was for Buffalo because they were already losing. That's what it was with them. Yes. I thought it was for Buffalo.

[Kevin]

He's been around forever.

[Bobby Bones]

Josh Allen also had a. Yeah, he.

[Eddie]

Got hit in the nose like a little boo boo.

[Bobby Bones]

And he pulls his helmet off and it's like, little boo boo.

[Kevin]

He's like, go back up to risky. Let's go.

[Eddie]

They said there was blood everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

I never saw blood everywhere either. I saw somebody like giving them like. Like a spoon, feeding him water.

[Eddie]

Like, dude, I thought like, same thing.

[LG X Boom Advertiser]

Like broken.

[Bobby Bones]

Like drink his own liquid.

[Eddie]

Grab the cup, Josh.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he had it like fold and he was like just dumping in his mouth.

[Eddie]

He would lean over there.

[Bobby Bones]

Ravens killed the Browns. We talked about Colts and Broncos, Cardinals and Panthers. I'm going to tell you, the game was so bad early, I never even looked. I can't believe the Panthers got that close.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I never went back to it. So I know nothing. What happened?

[Eddie]

T. Mac is so good.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw Bryce Young through for over 300 yards and three touchdowns.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I didn't see the comeback either. I saw the final stat. I'm like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Same. I saw them fumble, like the first possession. A fumble or an interception? The very first possession, I was like, oh, this is gonna be bad. Now that I'm Panthers fan, I watch, like, at least first possession.

[Kevin]

At least.

[Eddie]

No, Bryce was just chunking, dude. He was just chunking, connecting. And then they. And then I think he got sacked in at the very last with like just a few seconds left.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the game last night was boring as crap.

[Eddie]

So boring.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I don't watch any.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched until it was like six to three, I believe was a score. And I'm like, I'm going to watch a show, I'm going to flip and just come back to it at Justin Jefferson. Going to fantasy. And he ended up okay with like 11 points or something.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But it was a terrible game. And J.J. mcCarthy looked like. Oh, gosh, he looked like the first half version of him last week.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Monday night.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Kevin]

Never got the second half version.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, never. Never got there. So there you go. Those are notes. Two minute warning. You don't like. They don't call it that in college.

[Eddie]

No, I just like it. Is it a woke thing where guys, we're just gonna stop saying warning?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not funny. You think that, though, the NFL owns that.

[Eddie]

They own the two minute warning and.

[Bobby Bones]

They asked college the two minute timeout.

[Eddie]

Thank you for clarifying.

[Kevin]

Oh, because I thought the same thing, Eddie. I'm like, I get they're trying to be different, but, like, why?

[Bobby Bones]

You're like, first Red River Shootout and now they take away the warning.

[Eddie]

This is too much, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it literally was. That's an NFL thing.

[Kevin]

I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

And so the NFL asked them to stop saying it. Wow. So now it's just two minute timeout.

[Eddie]

It does. It's. I think part of why it sounds awkward is because some of the commentators, they want to be like, well, it's the two minute timeouts, you know? So it's like, whoa. Was he about to say warning?

[Bobby Bones]

I got a couple Eddie notes here. TV producers are dicks.

[Eddie]

Oh, dude. What is happening?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.

[Eddie]

I'm talking about when the kicker misses the field goal or like, whoever screws up. The producer's like, all right, zoom in on the kid and let's watch him for another 30 minutes. And then when, oh, when the team starts losing even more, zoom in more on the kid.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just like, getting tighter.

[Eddie]

Leave him alone. We know he screwed up. We don't need to see him over and over. They did that too with the Broncos. Was it Lutz who missed the hit, the doink. And like, let's just show Lutz. Like, dude, come on, let's just move on. We know that he hit the post.

[Bobby Bones]

Move on.

[Eddie]

But these producers feel like they need to be like, no, no, no, people want to see him. I'm telling you, man, we don't want to see them.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're right. I don't want to see them. I don't mind. In the NFL because they're older. You can't even go pro versus amateur because college players are getting paid now.

[Kevin]

So maybe an age limit. It's got to be over 22.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe a financial limit because I'm sure kickers ain't making that much.

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Brandon]

Poor guy.

[Bobby Bones]

So you. Anybody not making like $5,000 a semester, you're out of here. You can't be on camera. Camera for any more than like three or four seconds.

[Eddie]

And the Notre Dame holder, too, like, oh, yeah, he's definitely not making any money. And like, we have to watch him change his little bib when they go to offense. Oh, I gotta put my red bib on. Do the signs. He looks so sad, so devastated.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's college football notes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, I wrote notes for the games that I watched and not like major notes.

[Bobby Bones]

Can we just nerve the notes?

[Eddie]

Sure. Pick. Let's do Georgia, Tennessee.

[Bobby Bones]

Go.

[Eddie]

The little kid missed it.

[Kevin]

It.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, that's the note. That's what I have for that. Okay. All right. I know exactly what you're talking.

[Eddie]

The little kid missed it. And then a. M. Notre Dame. It wasn't targeting.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember.

[Eddie]

Was there a targeting call there, Holton Targeting? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure there was. If you wrote it.

[Eddie]

And I guess I was upset about that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what point that. No, it is.

[Eddie]

Somebody got ejected, I guess, for targeting. So I didn't like that. And then botch snap on the extra point. No Natty for Notre Dame. I wrote that, but I guess that's not the case.

[Bobby Bones]

They can still get a Natty.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

They'll win out and then get put in with two losses. Dumb.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What? Hold on. I got Florida, lsu, five interceptions. Ouch. Nape. You're in trouble, you get out.

[Kevin]

That's some good reporting.

[Eddie]

Thank you, Arkansas. Ole Miss. All I wrote was. Sorry, Bobby. Yeah, all I wrote there and then we'll move on. Georgia Tech beating Clemson. I said F Clemson.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Brandon]

I like that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Get him.

[Eddie]

And made. Made money on this one. That's it. Oh, lots of blowouts.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you write lots of blowouts?

[Eddie]

I wrote on the bottom. I guess there's. There are lots of blowouts. That's me scanning the board.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess what I didn't like because I have a hate, hate relationship with Texas, just generally. You didn't? No. It ain't good. So I don't like Texas, but I like Arch Manning. So I want Texas to lose and I want Arch Manning to do well. Except it's the opposite. Texas is winning and Arch sucks.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Not looking good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm starting to think he just ain't that good.

[Kevin]

I know.

[Eddie]

Is it. Is it like ability not good or is it just pressure not good.

[Bobby Bones]

No, he throws funny.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Everything looks a little wonky.

[Brandon]

Like there's no smooth.

[Bobby Bones]

Brandon had the note. Yeah. Throws his notes like he throw his arm slot. And trust me, I'm no expert in the arm slot. He doesn't throw from like a proper place ever. It moves around. It looks like he's fling. I don't know. It's almost like he throws sideways. Yeah, a lot of times he does. So I want Archmanning to do well because I like when they have to shut. People get shut up. Yeah, but that game was too close. It's you, Tep.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I don't think Texas has covered that.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds about right. Mike, what are your thoughts? You're the Texas fan.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we're on fraud alert. We did not look good. He does not look comfortable there. If there was any other team who would have been just in bad trouble.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I want Arch to do well and I want Texas to lose. But now Texas is winning and Arch is not doing well.

[Kevin]

So they got another easy one, Sam Houston. Then after that.

[Eddie]

Oh, they got that.

[Kevin]

Then they're on the sec.

[Eddie]

Our secondary is terrible. Who's our Sam Houston? Man went to school there.

[Bobby Bones]

Shut up.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Dude.

[Kevin]

Wait, what's that? Starting corner.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Smith.

[Eddie]

Smith.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I got Jones on the roster too next week.

[Kevin]

Yes.

[Eddie]

They're coming to Middle Tennessee at some point. I'll go.

[Bobby Bones]

I still think Texas is going to be fine. I think they're going to be really good.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I think now they're trying to work out the Arch Kings and so there's a lot on Arch. I think once they start playing these other SEC schools, they're going to play defense and run the ball for the most part. But I would love to see Texas lose. But I would like to see Arch play well and he's not playing well and that stinks. It looks like they just over. They look so overrated, right?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Just watching him. He runs well.

[Eddie]

I will say, like, my whole take on the producers are dicks. Like, I do like watching Cooper, you know, just to kind of see, like, how he's responding to that. Pretty neutral. When they go to him, you wonder.

[Bobby Bones]

If, like, Sarkeesian knows he's not that good. And then all going into the season when he's like, favorite for Heisman, he's like. And he feels like the pressure. If it's a tie, he still got to go with Arch because he was the five star they've paid all the money for. Like, you wonder what's happening under underneath, what he knows.

[Kevin]

Yeah. What Steve knows sounds like a tv.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you can only disguise that so much.

[Kevin]

And I wonder if he's, like, just holding things back.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure if it's bad about his player, it is.

[Kevin]

As far as offense goes. Like, is he like. He has to be right? Like, oh, we can't open this all.

[Brandon]

The way up because I don't trust them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it sucks. Yeah. I feel like it's pretty much it.

[Eddie]

This is a great weekend for football.

[Kevin]

Awesome.

[Brandon]

It was good.

[Bobby Bones]

Did I forget anything?

[Eddie]

See my notes?

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's notes are all clear.

[Eddie]

I think we got all that. Lots of blowouts.

[Bobby Bones]

Brandon one big, big bucks.

[Kevin]

Brandon one big bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

I will.

[Kevin]

I hit a Eddie eight game parlay.

[Eddie]

A gamer.

[Kevin]

That was cool.

[Eddie]

Wait, how much money?

[Kevin]

Yeah, he texted in the thread. He was like.

[Bobby Bones]

He's like, should we keep it going?

[Kevin]

Cowboys were the final one where I almost cashed out.

[Eddie]

The problem is I muted you guys just because I was watching on my phone. If I was watching on tv, I wouldn't have muted you guys. But I think all of my stuff at home on the phone, I'm behind you guys, like, for, I think, 10 seconds, 15 seconds. Because everything we were watching earlier in the day, Bones, you were texting. And they'd be like, well, all right. Yeah, we're gonna score there.

[Kevin]

Yeah. It's basically me and Bobby just talking to that for the most part.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we could have just started texting each other.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then you start blaming me on the Bengals. Dude, I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we wouldn't blame you for the Bengals or Oregon if you weren't to blame for, like, 90 other ones.

[Eddie]

Can I start over?

[Bobby Bones]

It's not your fault, by the way.

[Eddie]

What do you mean? You're saying it's all my fault.

[Bobby Bones]

It is.

[Eddie]

That's what's confusing about it.

[Bobby Bones]

It is your fault. But you're not doing it on purpose, is my point.

[Eddie]

I'm not like, I'm not trying to. Maybe I should do it on purpose now that I have the power.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't start messing with it, because now we know how to judge it. So when you say A, we know it's B. Now if you start going, I want to say A, but I'm gonna say B because I know. Then we're like, oh, God, that's trouble. Now what's he thinking?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's because, like, can I just say the Bengals, like, oh, we're never gonna win another game.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what you should say.

[Eddie]

So just do that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I feel like.

[Brandon]

We need to just mute you on Saturday and Sunday.

[Eddie]

You know, I don't chime in.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no dude. He chimed in a little bit twice, and it was two bad times. And then we were like, that's true. All right, we're done. Thank you, guys. Hope you have an awesome rest of the week. We'll see you later on in the week. I don't have any picks right now because it's early. I wonder what the Arkansas game opened up as.

[Eddie]

Who you guys playing?

[Bobby Bones]

Memphis. At Memphis.

[Eddie]

At Memphis. What do they play in Memphis? They have a stadium there?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they just play on the street where the Grizzlies.

[Kevin]

Did you get the stadium for the Northwestern? Speaking of Oregon, that was awesome.

[Brandon]

It was great.

[Kevin]

It's, like on the water.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Dude, you see the water in the background?

[Bobby Bones]

That's. You know that's a temporary stadium, right?

[Kevin]

Right. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I didn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're building a new one.

[Eddie]

It looks small.

[Kevin]

Seven and a half Arkansas. Yeah. Yeah, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks juicy.

[Kevin]

I have my sources.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks juicy.

[Kevin]

Sauces.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me it does look juicy.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]
