In no particular order, the bills roll the 49ers and your MVP candidate right now it's Josh Allen's to lose and it's been that way for a couple of weeks. Christian McCaffrey out, maybe done for the year. Year. The Eagles over the Ravens. They are the second best team in football and I am including the Bills in that. It's the Detroit Lions, the Eagles, then the Bills in my opinion. And don't count out the Steelers. The Steelers have a two game lead in the AFC north and they own the tiebreaker against the Ravens. So the Steelers, they outlast the Bengals. The Bears need a new head coach. They needed a new head coach when they had a head coach. The Vikings over the Cardinals, Seaton's Chargers over the Falcons and Trevor Lawrence out with the cheap shot. And the question is, will he play again this season with college football? Obviously Ohio State losing to Michigan, Georgia survives and then you've got the rest of the situation here that they're going to try to put together. Put it in a blender and then tomorrow night we'll figure out where things stand. South Carolina might be as good as anybody right now in the country. Syracuse drops Miami. Penn State might be the second ranked team. And I didn't say second best, I said the second ranked team in the country when the rankings come out. We got football coming up tonight. The Browns at Fritzies, Bengals, Broncos who almost put the Bengals in there. Sorry about that. Browns at the Broncos and The Broncos are giving six. The NBA cup continues as well. Lakers, Timberwolves, Heat, Celtics. So a lot of things going on here as we get your phone calls ready as well. Seat and poll question for hour one is going to be br. What are you going to go with, man, where do we start? So much happened this weekend. Well, we might as well start on a negative. Who had the worst weekend? We have to take Ohio State out of that, don't we? I don't know. Do we? Did anybody have a worse weekend than Ohio State? Well, Matt Eberflusse had a bad weekend. Yeah, but that was, you know, we knew that that was going to be inevitable. But even for a guy who we knew was going to get fired, the way he chose to have his final act of getting fired was particularly terrible. That was like, I don't know why we would hire you again to do this. Anybody. Well, I wouldn't hire him to do anything that had to do with math. Anything to do with clock management there. It's weird. I thought the Bears organization was more embarrassing than Matt Eberfluss. Matt Eberfluss didn't understand clock management. You need to call a timeout. You had a timeout. You have a rookie quarterback in that situation. Let's regroup, regroup here. Let's just go over the basics here. You got two plays if you want to call a different play, okay? We're all on the same page here. Don't let the clock wind down. But then to let him go out and have his press conference knowing you're going to fire him. He's talking about next week. He's talking about how they're preparing. I think they play the Niners. I. What are you doing? That, to me, was more egregious than. I mean, he hasn't been a good coach. I wouldn't have brought him back this year. He proved that. I think they have talent. I think Caleb has played pretty well, but you can't send him out there and go, hey, am I holding my press conference? Yeah, go get him. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, two hours later, you fire him. So the Bears front office, to me, was more embarrassed or should be more embarrassed than Matt Eberflu. Sorry. Is that the same Bears front office that hired Matt Eberflusse in the first place and kept him? Yeah, that's really the thing, because now every time I watch the Chargers do well, I think, see, there's your guy. Jim Harbaugh. He was right up the road. He was right up the Road. And you could have brought him in. The fact that they didn't even call him in for an interview. Oh, my stomach. Former Bear quarterback. You know, you got him there. You definitely don't want Caleb Williams stuttering, studying under somebody like Jim Harbaugh who could maybe help ease him into the league. No, you don't want that. He's got some experience doing that. All right, so Ohio State, Matt Eber flu, slash Bears organization. Yeah, I'd say Ryan Day specifically, but. Okay. Yeah, yeah, I could throw Kirk Cousins in that. On that list. Well, if you throw him in there, he's going to be intercepted. Yeah, somebody else is catching. No, no, I. Look, holidays. Hey, I love Kirk Cousins. I'm sorry. He was terrible yesterday. Yeah, he was terrible. He does, yes. He knows that that was bad. And I wonder. I wonder how much longer until we see Michael Penix Jr III here. They're too good to be this bad. Wait, that was weird. Too good, Too good to be this bad. Country song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she was too good to be this bad. What else do you have? Seaton. How about Justin Tucker? Oh, wow. Speaking of people. We like that. I don't want to see him too poorly, but he's having a horrible year. Yeah, I got to put him on the poll question. Got to. That was tough to watch. You know, you see somebody who's so good, and then all of a sudden you're like, what happened? Yes. And then. And then you know just how powerful the mind is with these things, because these athletes, they all have great talent. And then you. I. What separates you, I think, is your. Your mental approach to things. And for a kicker, you're always in your head. But when you're that great and sometimes it's automatic, then you can see him actually thinking. He's thinking, and that's the worst thing you can do. Sometimes athletes react. They've thought before they get into the situation, and then they just react. And you see him just going, please make it, please make it, please make it. And then all of a sudden, he's human. Now I wonder, can you do to your kicker what we've seen organizations do to their quarterbacks? Anthony Richardson, sit down for a couple of weeks. Bryce Young, sit down for a couple of weeks. And now you're seeing those two quarterbacks be able to play well. Anthony Richardson is a more athletic Jameis Winston. Like, I don't know what's happening, but damn, he's fun to watch. And Bryce Young, I'm happy for him. You go toe to toe with the Chiefs, you go toe to toe with Tampa and you lost both of those games, but those aren't on you. Can you do that to somebody who is 35 years of age as opposed to somebody who's 21, 22? Could you sit him down for a month? I know that seems like, wow, that'd be a drastic move, but can you do that to him just to say, get away here, get away from here a little bit, kind of figure out what's going on, just do something. But it feels like. And look, he's a stand up guy. He stood in there and he was answering the questions yesterday. In fact, do we have. Well, here's John Harbaugh talking about Justin Tucker. We've been working through it. I mean, you work through with every single player, every single thing. You fight to try to help guys to be successful, you know, so we'll do that. I mean, if you're asking me are we going to move out from Justin Tucker, I'm not really planning on doing that right now. I don't think that'd be wise. But you know, he, he'll tell you, he'll be the first to tell you. He's got to make, he needs to make many kicks as he can. And I just think if you look at Justin Tucker's history, you'd have to say he's capable of doing that. That's, that's something he's going to want to do. And I know we're all going to want him to do it. And I don't know if this is the yips that you see in golf or guys get in their head and they get to the free throw line. I don't know. But you know, somebody who is going to the hall of Fame who all of a sudden forgot how to kick and missing an extra point. And we've gotten to the point now where a 50 yarder is not a big deal, 55 yards is not a big deal. We almost expect you to make those, but Justin Tucker is now a liability for this Ravens team. Who else are you going to put on the list there? Seaton? Let's see. Well, I think we keep it at those four. They've had particularly terrible weekends. Okay. Matt Eberfluss, Ryan Day, Kirk Cousins, Justin Tucker. Those are pretty, those are pretty bad weekends. Yeah, we have a bunch of other options for poll questions here. Most impactful game of the weekend. Okay, let me save those until the second segment there. You know, when you talk about, can you bench a Hall of Famer? Well, Russell Wilson got benched, so, I mean, he got kicked to the curb. They paid him $90 million to go away in Denver and he had a great day yesterday. Great day. You go toe to toe with Joe Burrow, by the way. Joe Burrow is going to have maybe one of the more incredible seasons playing for a losing team. I don't know how you know they would rank those, but he's not going to make the playoffs and he's been great this year. That defense has been horrible. And when these two teams to get together, it's always like when the Ravens and the Steelers get together, like their crooked scores. It's like, you know, 22 to 18 now you're putting up crazy amounts of points there. 82 points combined. That's the most of any of their 102 games that they played between these two. This is the start Stat of the day. Stat of the day brought to you by Panini America. The official trading cards of the program. Yes. Paulie. Going back to Ryan Day and Matt Eberflusse. It feels like a guy like Matt Eberflusse will probably get a defensive coordinator position somewhere on a below average team. Ryan Day hasn't beaten Michigan since 2019. That's a long time. If he. Do you think his job is in jeopardy or is that media and fan talk? The importance of that game? The game, yeah. And you've lost four in a row. He does have the playoffs to clean up his mess. Well, yeah, if this was a 14 playoff. Yes. Then he would probably, I can't say probably be. I think that this would be far more serious right now. You're a 23 and a half point favor. You're at home. This is Michigan. Their quarterback is a walk on cancer survivor. They don't really have weapons. You know what they did? They played defense and ran the football. That's the ingredient. And it has been the tried and true ingredient of this rivalry ever since I can remember. Can you run the football and can you play defense? And that's exactly what they did and they were the better team. You bring in Chip Kelly. He's your offensive coordinator. You spent $20 million on your roster and that's what you have to show for it. 10 points. He does have the playoffs to clean up the mess though. But it might be. I can't think of a coach who needs to win the championship more than Ryan Deck. You know, Kalen DeBoer just got there at Alabama. Kirby Smart, he's secure there. You can go down the list here. Dabo Sweeney still going to be back at Clemson. I mean, there's no pressure there on him. Like James Franklin at Penn State, there's no pressure on him. But Ryan Day, there's a whole lot of pressure on him. We'll talk to Paul Feinbaum a little bit later on. We'll ask him, is it national title or bust for Ryan Day, which is crazy to say with their dominance in the Big Ten, aside from Michigan, their dominance, but, you know, beating really good teams, you know, now you're going to put that to the test. Could they be on the road opening weekend of the playoffs? Yes, Todd, but that rivalry is so big and he's been so bad these last few years. Is it even enough to win the national title game to some crazy Buckeyes fans? Like, we won the national title, but we lost to Michigan? No, no, no. That fixes everything does. Yes, it hurts when you lose to Michigan because it used to be if you lost to Michigan, Michigan, you know, that team was moving on. You weren't. Now all of a sudden, here you go, you got, you got wounded, you got embarrassed, you got humbled. And now it's a question of regrouping, going into the playoffs and not getting left behind. But if you win a national title, yes, that will clean up what happened over the weekend in Columbus. All right, we'll take a break, come up with a poll question, phone calls, welcome.

And here's Ryan Day on what happened. Obviously extremely disappointed. Been, you know, angry that we didn't execute well enough. So you know, I'm not there right now, you know, just fresh off the game. But, but as you, as you know, you know, this is not easy to accept and you know, obviously have to take the ownership, you know, it's, it's, you know, I'm the one ultimately that, you know, makes the final decisions on things and you know, felt like we were in a really good place coming into this game. I felt like we, we were prepared to play well in this game and yeah, I don't have much more to say about it. Yeah, I don't think you even have to tell us that you're taking the responsibility. We know that you should. That's implied there. But Ohio State has continued to be a championship contender trying to beat Michigan all these years. But the three point loss now one in four against the team up north. And to make matters worse for Ryan Day, that may have been the most painful one because Jim Harbaugh, you know, leaves now. Remember, Sharon Moore was the head coach for Michigan last year against Ohio State. So he gets credit for back to back wins against Ohio State. You're six and five. You don't have a quarterback. You've brought in the second richest man in the world, Larry Ellison, to help you get a quarterback. That's how desperate you are. Your cornerback Will Johnson sits out. Your tight end Colston Loveland sits out. Ohio State's a 23 1/2 point favorite at home. You spent $20 million on your roster this year. I'd be asking for a rebate, a refund. There you spent, you brought in Chip Kelly, offensive coordinator. What could Go wrong and you lose. That I understand. You go to Oregon, you face Oregon. It's a close game. All right. Michigan can't be further down than what they've been this year. They haven't been really competitive sometimes. And then they go to see, that's where. When you say throw out the records. This is a throw out the records. And I was in Ohio for the game and a lot of Ohio State fans. One of my best friends is a die hard Michigan fan. He's even saying, I, I definitely give the points to Michigan. And I'm thinking this is Ohio State against Michigan. Like I, I've been down the road here for decades with this. The best team doesn't always win, but Michigan played better than Ohio State in that game. But Ryan Day has a chance to clean up the spill. And you got to make me get to the national title game, but also win when you get there. All right, Seaton poll question the results that we have so far here. Yeah. Who had the worst weekend? That being Thursday through Sunday, just for clarity. Matt Eberflutz, Ryan Day, Kirk Cousins, Justin Tucker. Early results right now are Ryan Day, but he's not running away with it yet. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. All right. When you're having a worse weekend than someone who is no longer employed, that's telling. Like Maddie Refleusses at home right now, not in the playoffs with coaching Ohio State. That's wild. Yeah. It just goes back to what? It doesn't make sense to bring somebody back and make them a lame duck coach when you're going to bring in a quarterback instead of starting fresh and getting a coach who's going to be there to grow with him. Yes. Well, we might fire him. Ah, let's give it a little more time then. Just fire him. What are you, what are you waiting for? Then if you're going to all of a sudden, if you're thinking we might fire this dude and what, somehow he's going to completely turn that around into becoming the person that you really want. I don't know. If you're already thinking about it, then you're already doing it. But it's like Mike McCarthy, there's no job security there. And if my employer was in, my boss was a lame duck, you know, like, hey, we don't know if we're going to bring back your boss. You kind of look at them differently if it's a head coach. You certainly do head coach and gm. And I think that's the situation is it's not that you lose respect, you Just don't look at them the same way you look at them as vulnerable, tenuous. And that doesn't exude the confidence that you want. Wait, does management really believe in this guy? I'm going to believe in this guy. My rookie quarterback's going to believe in this guy. The Bears should have been on the cusp and I know they play in the most competitive division. The Bears should have been on the cusp of being a playoff team. I truly believe that. And I think Caleb Williams is going to be that franchise quarterback. In fact, you can look at all of these quarterbacks. I mean Drake May, he's good. That's bad team they make. I would say New England and Carolina may compete for the least talented rosters. But Bryce Young played well. Drake may played well. Jaden Daniels came back and played really well. Bo Nick's on display tonight. So I don't know what J.J. mcCarthy is going to be like, but you've seen these quarterbacks play pretty well and well enough. Bo Nicks and the Broncos are a playoff team. Jaden Daniels and the Commanders might be a playoff team. Chicago should have been a playoff team or at least been right there competing. And look, I know you got the packers and you got the Vikings and Lions, but. And just some small coaching decisions. If you realize 106 games have been decided by 7 points or less. That comes down to coaching and quarterback play. Aaron Rogers, I believe has had five games where he's had the ball and a chance to win and he whiffed 0 for 5 coaching quarterback play. Look at the, look at the Chiefs. Look at those close games and what happens? They win. Somehow they win. Now you can say, oh man, that's lucky. Oh, they're so fortunate. Oh, everything goes their way. No, no, I don't think it's a coincidence that they win those games. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes find a way to win. These other teams, they find a way to lose. Yes. Feels like Kevin O'Connell doesn't get it talked about enough. You're right for the job that he's done in Minnesota. Yeah, yeah. He's had some tricky quarterback, a couple of tricky quarterback situations to navigate and he's done pretty well. And I mean I know he's only been there three years, but two of those three years they've been really good. He is a great coach, offensive minded coach. He's helped Sam Darnold out. It just feels like we haven't bought into Sam Darnold and that's why we haven't bought into the Vikings. Now they squeak by to get that win. But once again, if your team, you don't get style points in the NFL, they don't go, wait, how many did you win by? It's just, did you win? That's all that matters here, Paul. And Iowa leads us off. Best and worst of the weekend. Hi, Paul. Hey, Dan. Best of the weekend, Iowa State. Your Cyclones first 10 win season in program history. Going back to the Big 12 championship. What a, what a great weekend for the Cyclones. Worst of the weekend. We all saw the evidence that Ryan Day is not a leader of men. He's standing shell shocked, thousand yard stare with his team captain crying right in front of him, yelling about the Michigan flag. And he says, what happened? Something's got to change. Well, and I was, I give Fox credit that they had the camera on him and you could see where there's chaos out there. His players are fighting now. They're trying to plant a flag. By the way, I don't think you can plant a flag on Aster turf. But hey, I know that they like the symbolism that, hey, we're, we own this place. We're going to put a flag there. Ryan Day can't go, what happened? And almost be like, wait, what's going on here? Unless he was so shell shocked that they lost that game. And I don't know what's happened here with the plant the flag thing. Do we, do we blame Baker Mayfield? Feels like he's getting asked about it because when he was at Oklahoma and he did this in Columbus, so he's sort of the godfather of planting the flag there. He's football's Iwo Jima. Like, what are we doing here? Take the flag and stick it in. Well, wait a minute. Doesn't go in. You know what we mean? Pepper spray. Really? You couldn't get your team off the field? How about coaches go out there, get your team off the field? Do you tell your team, hey, don't plant the flag. We're better than that. You have control. And look, I know you can look at this a variety of ways and go, oh, you know, you guys are poor losers. You're a poor winner. You won. You don't, you don't need to plant a flag. You planted the seed that they can't beat you. That's a, that's a line. Thank you. Thank you. But that's. I don't, I don't understand. You know, Florida doing it. You're beat. You beat Florida State. Good God, if you didn't, you should Be planted six feet under. Like, what are we doing? Hey, we gotta plant the flag. We gotta show the. Both sides. Should have been embarrassed for how that played out. Get your team off the field. Yeah, Paulie. It should have been Dr. Pepper Spray to go with the sponsorship of college. I'm gonna give you a bloop. Thank you. I'm gonna give you a bloop. Bloop. It did feel like an anomaly or a rush on flag planting this weekend. Was it just a coincidence or do you think it's like once somebody sees it, it catches on? Well, I think there's part of that, but if you see one of your players holding the flag, then you go up there, have somebody go up and say, we're not doing that. You want to. You want to take the flag around the stadium, do that. But go back to when somebody tried to do something on the logo with the Cowboys and Terrell Owens ran over it. Was that George Teague. Okay, like, I understand that, like, you can beat us and disrespect us in that way that you beat us, embarrassed us, whatever. But the flag, what are we doing? And then all of a sudden, fights break out. Pepper spray. That's. You gotta have some decorum. Win with class, lose with class. And neither team did that. And that's a shame, because really, it should be about what Michigan accomplished. They pulled off one of the bigger surprises this season. Buddha in San Francisco. Hi, Buddha. Happy Monday, dp. Welcome back, boys. Oh, hey, what's up, Fritzy? What's up, man? Dan, I think one of the strangest parts of the long weekend was clock management on a whole, like, with, like, several NFL teams. I mean. I mean, I hesitate to bring this up, but specifically Paulie's Bears, like you guys are talking about, like, that was just brutal to watch that game end like that. But let's get down to the nitty gritty here, Dan. Worst of the weekend, my Niners and our fall from grace. I mean, last time I was on the show, Dan, I admitted I was out. Out on my Niners. And then seeing the Christian McAl free situation last night. You see what I did there, Fritzie? You see? Nice. That. That pretty much puts us down into some, like, deep Dallas Cowboy vibes. Shout out to Shane Irving. And best of the weekend, DP, watching the Michigan pack of 23 point dogs go into the shoe and witnessing the slow death of all the hope and hype that was Ohio State up until then. And I don't know why, Dan, but seeing Ryan Day lose puts Whiskey in my smile. To your point. Like he needs to pick up the white courtesy phone because you're about to miss your flight right out of Columbus. I mean that. That always no good, but so good. Thank you, Buddha. Thank you. 8773 DP Show Gus in LA. Hi, Gus. What's on your mind today? Good morning, Mr. Patrick. Hope you and the boys had a great holiday weekend. Oh, man. Hey, Paulie, congratulations. Hope your Bears don't screw up the next head coaching job and ruin the career of Caleb Williams. I have faith in you guys not ruining those number one pick. So let's get into this best and two best of the weekend and then a worst. My Steelers surviving the shootout in Cincinnati. It was great to see them getting back on track after the embarrassing loss in Cleveland. Speaking of embarrassing, my USC Trojans. The embarrassment is over. The season's over. This train wreck. A Hollywood bomb is over. Lincoln Riley, you have to win the title next year to keep your job. Don't care what anybody else says. It's not been good or not good. In the words of Buddha. And then the worst of the weekend, you know, you just briefly spoke about it. It was ugly to see the ending of multiple game. This weekend in Arizona, you had U of A fighting because ASU runs out and plants their pitchfork after ASU smacks them up. You've got North Carolina State, North Carolina, you got. But call me old, old school, whatever you. You want to keep them from doing that. You beat them during the game. It's like the kid from Michigan said, you have 60 minutes to fight. You have 60 minutes to beat us. And yet you want to fight after the game. You want to throw punches after the game, be like the kid from Notre Dame and punch the kid from USC during the game. Thank you, Gus. Well, you had Michigan's running back who said, at the end of the day, some people got to learn how to lose. You can't be fighting and stuff just because you lost the game. We had 60 minutes. We had four quarters to do all that fighting. Now people want to talk and fight. That's wrong. Classless, in my opinion. And people got to do better. That's Mullings, who had a wonderful game. Okay, where do you draw the line on what the victorious team can do in your building? That's why I'd like to know, with all these people saying, oh, hey, you should have taken care of business during the game. Okay, what are you allowed to do then? You won. So what? Plant a flag? Have a picnic? Can you tailgate like what are you allowed to do? I mean, hey, come on, you guys didn't handle your business, okay? I should be able to do whatever I want to do. According to people saying, you got to know how to lose. Is it embarrassing with Ohio State? Yes, the way they played, but Michigan instigated this trying to plant the flag. I know it's symbolic and it, you know, is it at the end of the like horns down. Like horns down is silly. Like, oh my God, they did horns. I'm watching A and M against Texas and they're doing it. I'm like, oh, like, I don't care about that. This involves people getting hurt or potentially getting hurt. Pepper spray police. That's not college football.

Those teams combined for 80 points and Syracuse rallied. It was 21 to nothing and Marvin picks Syracuse to win outright. And I was going to send him a text and I go, nope, nope, nope, nope. Not going to do that. Not going to do that. But they end a six game losing streak to Miami and Miami is still kind of hanging in there with the, with the playups. All right, we'll get to more phone calls coming up. I know I'm the old man. Get off my lawn with planting a flag. Sorry, I'll stay that way. Let me go around the room. See where everybody stands on flag planting. When you win a game against your your rival. Marvin, where do you stand on that now you won. That's enough. What do you expect the losing team to do? Just watch you plant the flag? Yeah. Seaton. What do you think? It feels like these moments are less genuine and more created for social media. So that's why I'm sort of out on it. I do like celebrating a big win. I do like all of those things. But it feels a little more manufactured and less genuine than say, like to did that because he was emotional or Baker Mayfield did it. I don't know. I was kind of annoyed when Baker Mayfield did it, honestly. But it feels more manufactured now. Paulie, I'm with Seaton on this one. I'm anti flag planting because it's getting too often. Also, I think the conferences are going to outlaw it and fine you for it immediately. That said, if you get planted upon, you must eat it. It's a must eat situation. You can't start a brawl. Brawls where you're going to lose a player for a game or lose them to injury. So a must eat situation. Todd. Unnecessary. Don't like it. You said it earlier. Be a good winner. You won the game. You don't need to do that. All right, Kira in Detroit joining us. Good morning, Kira. Good morning, Dan. I had to call in. I watched this show only because my husband loves your show. But when you start ragging on the Wolverines and talking about what happened with that situation, I think you need to talk to fans and players about how they're treated in Columbus, Ohio. First, they spit on players. They call players outside of their names. They do things to fans. They were doing things leading up to the game with their marching band showing an animal pooping on top of my blue and maize in blue Michigan. Planting the flag does not mean that you get to go and be violent. And it's not fair. There's a backstory behind all of this. So I would say talk to some players about what it's like when they go to play in Columbus, Ohio, but it doesn't happen anyplace else. If you know the Ohio State players go to Michigan, there's not things that are said or done there. You're making. Huh? We don't do that to rival teams. Well, I only saw that there was somebody spitting on a player or at least they had a picture of somebody doing that. That's wrong. But still win. Win with class like you own them. You don't have to plant a flag. I mean, they're both wrong. And I'm sure that there were things said. It is the rivalry in college football one of the rivalries still left in sports. I'm not exonerating any of these fans who say stupid things or do stupid things, but you're a football team and if the opposition did that to you, well, that's different. But you beat them. It's okay. You won. You want to parade around the field with your flag, great. But understand Ohio State got embarrassed and now you're going to do that. And now you're going to do that on the logo. It's. They're not going to let that happen. Ryan Day even said that. We're not going to let that happen. You shouldn't be planting a flag. First of all, you can't. It's Astroturf. But second of all, God, you won. I loved it when Sharon Moore is waving at the Ohio State fans. I loved it. It was great. It could have just been that. Walk around and just wave. Both teams, both schools got fined a hundred thousand dollars. Pepper spray, though. Michigan instigated that. They take the blame for that. The other stuff, you want to blame it on Ohio State fans, go ahead. I couldn't care less. I'm not sitting here defending anybody. Other than calling out this practice of planting the flag. You're going to bring about problems. What happens if somebody has their helmet off and somebody takes a swing at them? We probably almost had that then. How do you feel about planting a flag? Win. You won one of the biggest upsets in the history of this rivalry. That's where you humbled them. Not trying to plant a flag at midfield. Yes. Ton, can you dance in a circle around the O like the H? They're not going to let you. You can't even do that. They're not going to. You're not planning a flag. You're holding each other's hands. They're not going to let you do that. It's a quick dance. Maybe they put Shiron Moore on a chair and there you go. They would probably play the Michigan fight song. If you could mix the horror with Michigan fight song, that'd be great. Yeah. Be great. Thank you. Love the chair idea. You just came up. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Trent, Virginia. Hi, Trent. ADP got my best and worst. I'll start with the worst. It's got to be whatever Eberfluous is thinking. Knowing that he is was so bad he moved the Bears, who were proud to have never fired a coach midseason in 100 plus years to fire a coach midseason. Which brings me to my best as a Bears fan. I'm rooting for them to win again. I was at the point where I knew every loss was closer to Ibrah flues being gone, but a win would be. The Bears would be dumb enough to. Oh, he's improving. We might want to keep him, but now I can root for them to win and focus more on Caleb Williams than the coaching fiasco. Yep. And now you're open for business here. Who would want to come into that situation? I think it's the best opening right now and will be the best opening. I don't know what happens in Jacksonville or Dallas. Don't know. I feel like we had somebody on Albert Breer. I think he said maybe seven openings here. Are the Giants going to be open and they're going to have one of the top three draft picks here. Is Dallas open, Jacksonville open? Chicago's open? Yes. Todd, I think breer actually said 7 to 10, because I remember your reaction was like, whoa, Yeah, I can't see that you're going to have a third of the coaching positions open. That's a lot. That's a lot. The Saints, there's a job that's open as well, though. I don't know, maybe you have six or seven. It feels like that. One hour in the books, two more to go. We'll talk to Paul Feinbaum of the Mothership. He'll join us a little bit later on. And Herm Edwards, former coach, college and pro coach, get his thoughts on what we saw over the weekend. Certainly with the Ohio State and his former team, Arizona State. I watched a lot of that game. Arizona State, they are really good. Arizona, not so much. Browns, Broncos tonight. The Broncos, let's ride. They are favored by six. Todd with his pronouns, is it we or they? We've got to get to 8 and 5 tonight. We got to get to 8 and. Oh, here we go. More phone calls on this Monday. Back after this. The flavor, the tradition and the spirit of carne asada lives on at Del Taco.
