Hello, America's sweetheart. Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless Hillbilly Heist from Smartless Media, Campside Media and big money Players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're sitting like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People, do not follow my example. Listen to Crimeless Hillbilly Heist on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Pod podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The volume. What is going on, everybody? Hopefully everyone's enjoying November. And if you're Sam Darnold, you probably have a massive smile on your face because everyone now considers you an awesome player. And if you're Jaden Daniels. While I'm recording this, I don't have any new information. You're probably in some pain because your elbow was pointing the wrong way. So Jaden Daniels gets injured, Seattle rolls Darnold's contract and John Schneider, the job he's done. We'll dive into that. Lot of other stuff going on in the NFL from JJ McCarthy, game winning pass through a couple touchdowns to Green Bay. What was that? Lions get worked, the Chiefs lose again to the Bills. So we'll fly around the NFL. I obviously recorded a podcast with Colin as well on right after the Chiefs Bills game. And yeah, we'll talk a little college football to go along to finish it out. But other than that, you guys know the drill. Subscribe to the podcast wherever you may. Listen, Spotify, Apple, you guys know the drill. Press subscribe. Same thing with YouTube. Just type our name in. We're live after every Thursday game, after every Sunday game, after every Monday game. Never miss a thing. But before we dive into some football, you know I got to tell you about my friends. You know I got to tell you about my partners. The official ticketing app of this podcast, Game Time. Best in the business. I was watching obviously a lot of football the last several days. Watching college football. Nebraska last night in Tennessee. Those games looked awesome. Today was sweet. I mean that game in Houston was intense. The game in Pittsburgh was cool. The Minnesota Detroit game was awesome. If you want to go to one of these NFL games, if you want to travel to see your team on the road, if you just want to go to a home game, Game Time has you covered. They have tickets for as low as $100. Also, when you see the price of the ticket on the app, there are no hidden fees. That is the price. So take the guesswork out of buying professional football tickets. You can go to a professional football game with Game time.

For $20 off swipe, tap, ticket, go download the Gametime app today. I'm excited. Well, actually I'm not because we just saw a devastating injury and that was that. That was pretty devastating. I'm excited because it was a great day in a much more entertaining day of NFL football than last week. In the last feels like the last couple weeks maybe it was just we had better matchups. Regardless, start to finish much more entertaining game. I do want to start with the way that thing essentially ended and it was with Jaden Daniels elbow pointing the other way. Not a doctor, just a state school kid with a couple meaningless degrees in my closet. But I've been around football long enough to know that wasn't good. And that probably hurt a lot. And that really sucks. But there are going to be people, I'm sure, over the next 24 hours. And if you're listening to this, maybe if you've heard on other shows or television shows, what was Dan Quinn doing? Still having Jaden Daniels in the game. They're down 38 to 7. For those of you that aren't math majors, you could have three touchdowns and three extra points and still be down a touchdown. So. And it was a fourth quarter. They were not coming back. They had no chance. Why is he in the game? I would say one thing the NFL consistently does. Unlike basketball, where when you're getting blown out, you don't put your starters back in the game. When they come out in the third quarter for the fourth quarter, they sit, you play your scrubs and you play out the game. Baseball is a great example. Obviously, in the playoffs, the leverage of the, of the pitchers, you're quick to go to the bullpen. But even in the regular season, regardless of the time of the year, if I have a pitcher who is just getting shelled and we're down 7, 8, 9, 10 runs, I'm yanking him out. We don't just let him sit in there and take in the misery. Regardless of my situation with injuries, once there's a certain amount of runs on the board, that's not really the way football works. Because even the drive before, when they were up 38 to 7, I thought to myself, I wonder if they're going to yank Sam Darnold out of this game. And the answer is they did not. I personally would have had the backup in. That's not really how football coaches think. Even if, when something catastrophic happens, like potentially with Jaden Daniels tonight, which cat, it can't really be catastrophic because it's not a lower body injury and it's not his throwing arm. So even if it is, you know, he misses the rest of the season, you would have chose that body part over the right arm or either leg for a quote unquote major injury. But it's going to come up constantly. Why is he in the game? And the answer is, because they're just always in the game. Now I'm also of the new school belief is, do we just always have to do something because that's the way we've always done it. And the answer should always be hell no, we should always look to change. But in football, it is very, very difficult for the starter to get pulled in these games, I. E. Seattle, who just had their starting quarterback in, who's dominating the league right now in a game that they were up, you know, three, almost four scores. So I, I, I'm going to give them, I guess technically four scores if you're not counting extra points. I'm going to give them some grace and understanding of why they're doing it. That being said, it's awful. And Washington is having one of the worst seasons. Coming off a great season. I can never remember. I mean, their team just looks hideous. And it's one thing, it's like, oh, they've had a lot of injuries, they had some, but their defense just looks legitimately slow and big picture. Maybe it helps, especially if Jaden can't play, to end up going five wins because this is not the NBA. They're not trying to lose any of these games. They are three and six and they're literally doing everything possible working 90 hour weeks as a coaching staff, players busting their ass to try to win games so that all their effort, like they were not trying to have this record but like you watch their team, they're the oldest in the NFL. Now to me, that when you say that out loud, like what's their average age? 37. It's, it's not that different. You know, the oldest team from the youngest team, all these guys are between 25 and 27 on the averages. But regardless, they fall under the category of oldest team in the NFL. But they have to get a better defense and they got to find a way to keep Jane Daniels healthy. It's pretty simple. Now the one thing with Jaden that you would say is like, you watch Sam Darnold's resurrection, his style is pretty easy to see why it works, right? He's a pocket quarterback who has mobility. He's a very modern pocket quarterback. Right. He's a guy that can move, but he wants to throw. But he doesn't put himself in that many compromising situations. And the way that you run an offense for Jaden Daniels, whether you're up 38 to 7 or the games tied at 20, he is going to be in situations even though he's proven last year to be an excellent pocket passer because of his legs being a huge threat, like he gets into some compromise situations. What happened tonight, it was on a ball that he was running with and the linebacker did what? Slammed his ass into the ground. Why? It's the NFL and those guys are all fast, physical and violent on the other side of the field, especially Seattle. So I just, I'm not going to crush them for having him in the game. It's just part of the way the league works, especially at the quarterback position. It's very rare that they get pulled in those situations. Even though we can all agree it's kind of stupid and we should change. But man, this season I think now if you're just hoping best cases, you just keep losing games and you get a really high pick and you're able to draft impact players, maybe you get a top 67 pick and all of a sudden you get one of the best pass rushers in the draft you desperately need. And maybe with your second round pick you take another defensive player and then immediately your defense is faster and more physical. Because ultimately offensively I think you're going to be fine with the play caller, the quarterback, being able to find guys on your offense. You know, in terms of drafting in low price free agents like that, that's the least of my worries. But defensively, like yeah, the X's and the O's matter. But you think Seattle's good on defense just because Mike McDonald is a schematic genius? Pretty sure. I look around, it's like they got dudes, right? They got multiple guys on the defensive line. It's like I want that. I was just talking before we hit record, I'm like, Leonard Williams looks like Trent Williams playing defensive line running around when he was 30 years old. I mean that you, you talk about a physical freak. All their DBs and I want to transition into that. The craziest part about the Sam Darnold contract is in the NFL like a guy that could be a pro bowler at quarterback does not hit free agency when they're at a point to get a multi year contract, right? Like Sam Darnold last year or Daniel Jones this year. There are the guys that are bridge quarterbacks who resurrect their career. But most guys that get 100, 150, $200 million contract at quarterback are guys that are on teams that drafted them. Now we can agree to disagree for the non Mahomes, Allen, Lamar Jackson, kind of that kind of crew. Everyone else, we hotly debate their contract. Jordan Love, Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, you just go around the league, right? Jalen hurts, you name it, we're all. But that team has drafted that player. They know him really well and they want to Keep them tua, you name it. It's pretty rare that a guy like Kirk Cousins is on the free agent market. And the Atlanta Falcons gave him four years, $180 million and a hundred million, technically $90 million guaranteed. But because he was on the roster again, he's gonna have two year, 100 million dollar contract from the Atlanta Falcons. That, that's, that's what Kirk cousins has got. $100 million in two years from them. So that was kind of of a guy that you think, now it turns out he was shot Achilles. He's never been the same and he'll never be the same. His career was over, but they thought like this guy could be a fringe Pro bowl guy. That was the going rate. Yet Sam Darnold, the stink of those last two games was so bad, it's like, yeah, he had two bad games. One was horrendous against the Lions, the, the Rams, a lot of things went wrong, kind of got pinned on him. I put, I had no problem putting the Lions game on him. I've seen Peyton Manning throw a bunch of picks in a playoff game against New England. Like I, I've seen Tom Brady have a bad playoff game. We've seen Aaron Rodgers the bed in playoff moments, right? We've seen it all over the league happen to a lot of guys. Welcome to the NFL. So, and I'm not saying Sam Darnold is Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady by any means. But my point is because his sample size was just last season, everyone's like, see, that's actually what he is. Everything that we saw for the majority of the season, outlier the last two games, that's Sam Darnold. And then I've watched Sam Darnold this year just look like the Sam Darnold that we saw last year. And maybe he's just a good player, but Sam Darnold got a three year contract for $100 million and $55 million guaranteed. That is, that is insane. I mean think about the wide receivers in the NFL. Brandon Iuk, Terry McLaurin, you start T. Higgins, all these guys went healthy, really good players. But a quarterback, which we know is infinitely more important than any other position on offense. Left tackle, wide receiver. And these guys are making 30, $35 million all over the league. Yet if you get a good quarterback, whether that's a rookie or whether that's a 15th year guy, if he's playing at a Pro bowl level, your team is a lock to win double digit games, it's borderline impossible. Joe Burrow last year had to have one of the worst defenses we've ever seen and he still got him to nine wins. Right, because he was that good and his defense couldn't stop me or you. So when you look at the Sam Darnold contract, it is a chance in just true free agency. When you factor in the position quarterback, which is so much more important than every other position, it's got to go down early on through half a season. Like one of the more impressive contracts you'll ever see. And kind of crazy looking back is like, how is his market not better? Like if everyone knew Sam Darnold was going to be this good, how many teams that didn't sniff around on him would have been all over the guy? How would you even argue that that's not a good idea? And it also shows you is Sam Darnold with chaotic, poorly coached organizations. The Jets, Carolina, everyone laughed at him. Then he got with stable organizations with good offensive coordinators. The Niners, Kyle, the Vikings, Kevin O' Connell and now Seattle and A. Kubiak and Mike McDonald. And look for the last two and a half years, all everyone has said that has been around Sam Darnold, Niners, Vikings, and now Seattle is just like, this guy's a stud. What, what, what is going on here? How did everyone fuck this up? And it's just as a fan of football and obviously as a west coast used to be the Pac 12, I always kind of pull for, for those guys from those programs. Sam's been an easy guy to pull for because of how much everyone liked the guy I was on me and Colin got into a conversation tonight, he thought, you know, he's clearly a Stafford guy. Could Stafford jump Rogers if he wins another Super bowl and like the all time pantheon? I think it would be hard. I mean I truly believe Rogers like 10 year run with the packers, one of the best players I've ever seen any sport. Stafford's damn good. But even if he wins one more super bowl than Aaron, I think Aaron's career was better. Now there are variables that come into play. What if the Matt Stafford, drafted out of Georgia, 6 foot 2 and a half, 230 pounds, rocket arm, smart, high character, tough motherfucker, gets drafted by the packers. What's his career look like? And that's a huge part of football, right? So much of it is out of our control, yet in so many other aspects of life, like if you don't like where you work, you can quit, you can go do something else. If you don't like your girlfriend or she doesn't like you or your wife or whatever. Like you guys can break up, you guys can get a fresh start, you can go meet someone else, you can go find another job. But as a quarterback, when I get drafted, like especially if I'm a really good prospect, I get drafted. Alliance right. And the best thing that ever happened Aaron Rodgers was Mike Nolan. And the 49ers chose Alex Smith and not Aaron Rodgers. And then Aaron Rodgers ended up with the Green bay packers. And 20 plus years later, he's known as one of the greatest players of all time. Changed the course of his life. Where Matt Stafford was with the biggest joke franchise probably like in modern day NFL history. Some of these other franchises recently have thrown their hat in the ring. But like that version of the Lions was a joke. Say it all the time. Best two players franchise history, both quit at 30. Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, I'm done. I mean it's one thing, one guy happens. Patrick Willis quit early. Listen, sometimes you just, you're injured, you're over it, you're rich, you're just. Team sucks, you just had enough. Two guys, it's kind of a trend. So I just think Sam Darnold, my. But ultimately the thing with Stafford is like you see him in la, there is no disputing if he had had a Sean McVeigh his entire career. Probably talking about him as one of the great players of all time. I don't even think that's really debatable. Now Sam Darnold's lucky. Like he didn't change. Get the right guy at 36. This isn't rich Gannon who I think resurrected his career like mid to late 30s. Right. I think like 33ish he got with Gruden, Al Davis and the Raiders had like the great three or four year run of his career. One is one an NFL mvp. I bet he's always said, I'm sure he said this publicly. Imagine if that would have happened to me at 26, right. Imagine if I would have got that shot at 24, 25 years old. Sam Darnold's lucky. He gets it at what, 27, 28. With a real organization, with a real plan, with a real coach and a superstar gm. Now I just want to give this guy. We spend a lot of time and I'm guilty of this, you know, giving coaches reach arounds telling them how great they are and you know, how big of an impact they have. Sometimes GMs fly under the radar a little bit. Not named Howie Roseman who makes a trade every other week. I think the run John Schneider's on is underappreciated right now. Obviously the Sam Darnold for Geno Smith swap out speaks for itself. That's, that's a, that's a home run, you know, into the, into the third level like that. That's a bomb. But there was a play tonight where Leonard Williams was just chasing, just chasing. I think he ended up kind of, you know, making probably like half a tackle. Other guys were in on it, but you just saw him move. And I was thinking once upon a time when I was doing local radio, the big argument was like who should the Raiders take? Amari Cooper or Leonard Williams. And Reggie McKenzie, the general manager at the time, ended up going with Amari Cooper, which looked really smart for a long period of time. And the reason they didn't was because Leonard Williams shoulder in the pre draft process. A lot of question marks. Would he need surgery? Would he not? One guy goes to the jets, the other guy goes to like the up and coming Raiders at the time. Who? Derek Carr. Michael Crabtree has just a great start to his career. I think like two months ago, Amari Cooper just quit, just retired, just over football. I'm watching Leonard Williams a decade later still play like he's trying to earn a contract. Guy looks like a monster. John schneider traded a second round pick for Leonard Williams. At 29 years old. That takes balls. But not only does that move take balls to make, I mean older player for pick 47. Like we know he's pretty good, but that's, that's pretty risky. Leonard Williams looks like one of the best defensive linemen in the league. That, that trade looks genius. And then you just look around like Jackson Smith, he, I think he ended up, I don't know how many yards he ended up with, but I'm pretty sure this season he is over a thousand yards and 819. I don't think this is updated. Maybe he's not over a thousand yards yet. He was like 70 yards short during that game. He had another hundred yard game which breaks the Seattle record for most hundred yard games in a season. He looks like Jerry Rice and you picked him@pick20. And this is where if I am Jason Light when I went into this draft like on the fence about him, I'm like, well if I think this guy is like Jackson Smith, I take this guy at 4, let alone pick, you know, 21. So I just think Jackson Smith, here's the thing, he punted on DK this Off season, who is probably one of his best draft picks of his career. Second round guy, 27 touchdowns through three years. I mean, there is no disputing DK's a hit and then is able to trade him for his third contract for a second rounder to basically feature a guy who's just better and more consistent and less, Less of a boomer bus guy. And then there are a ton of other guys, both running backs, Kenneth Walker, Charbonnet, good players. You saw a royal catch touchdown tonight. Ton of dudes on defense that he's either drafted or acquired with trades. But the most impressive thing he did, because so much of what we talk about defining an NFL general manager is the draft, the draft, the draft, the draft. And I'm guilty of this too. It's the thing that we put the most pressure on a GM to do, Crush the draft. That job is so much bigger than that. I mean, how many moves is Howie Roseman made since like September 1st? He's constantly making little trades. I mean, constantly, Right? And as a gm, that's a huge part of your job. Free agency, making trades, Leonard Williams, signing Sam Darnold, getting rid of Gino, all that falls on you. But the most important thing you can do, not on the field and probably ever in your career, is to hire the coach. And when John originally got hired and he told this story like Pete Carroll essentially hired John Schneider. Well, once they fired Pete, it was John's job to fire or hire the next head coach. And I think it's easy for any coach, or, excuse me, any general manager, to lean on an offensive guy. No, we got Genoble. We're going to need to find another quarterback and we want to find a young offensive guy. Look at my division. I see Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, who. A big reason Pete got fired is because of those two guys. So if I would have done everything possible to like force feed an offensive guy, wouldn't have blamed him. But he's like, you know what? I'm just going to take the best coach available. And Mike McDonald is a stud and that coaching. I mean, last year they tried. They went with Ryan Grubb, who's at Alabama, and going to probably be one of, if not the coordinators of the year. And it just didn't work out. He'd never been an NFL guy, and they sent him back to Alabama, essentially, and they hired Kubiak, who looks like one of the best coordinators in the NFL right now. So you have a head coach who's the defensive coordinator who's elite at his job. And you got Kubiak, who clearly is a pretty high end offensive coordinator who I don't know has just learned from Mike Shanahan, Gary Kubiak and Kyle Shanahan. So kind of knows what he's doing. And I'm just. The Seattle Seahawks, man, the NFC west at the top is just really good. I, you know, it's technically a three horse race right now with the 49ers, the Rams in Seattle, having the 49ers beat Seattle and the Rams. The 49ers have too many injuries today. It looks like they lost their first round pick, Mikel Williams, the biggest kind of hybrid defensive lineman from Georgia to an acl. So that would mean they lost Fred Warner to a broken foot, they lost Nick Bosa to an acl, and they lost their first round pick, pass rusher, slash run defender to acl. Like you just, they're at the point now. You just don't overcome that. Now. I still think the 49ers with their schedule can get to 9, 10 wins and be the seventh seed. But I think the Rams in Seattle, they play the Rams this week and you know, the 49ers can have no business beating them with the roster they're rolling out now. Mac Jones has done a commendable job and it's, it's been a coaching clinic by Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saul to be at 6 and 3 with the roster they're rolling out. I mean look at the Giants who essentially had the same thing. Bunch of injured guys, young guy quarterback, random guys playing wide receiver and can't function at all. So it's been commendable. But I, I just think Seattle and the Rams, and honestly I might put my money on Seattle, they feel a little bit more explosive just as a team now the Rams are obviously pretty good, but Seattle five to one. I always thought preseason felt like something was off about those odds. Something was really off that they've been winning double digit games. If Sam Darnold and a lot of it was the unknown at quarterback. Well, you watch him. I mean he's, I mean like who are the Pro bowl guys in the nfc? Baker, Jalen Hurts is having a good year. Stafford, Darnold, this is the like level. We're talking the quarterback play in the nfc. When you, when you look at the guys that are going to make the playoffs. Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts, Matt Stafford, Sam Darnold, Mac Jones, Brock Purdy, like it's. Who am I leaving out? Jordan Love Jared Goff. Gotta be a good quarterback. So it might not be Mahomes and Josh Allen like the all time great hall of Famers, but it's, it's pretty good. So congrats to Seattle.

We're giving you all the laughs, drama, and reality news you can handle. And you know, we don't hold back, so come be reasonable or shady with us. Each and every Monday, I was going through a walk in my neighborhood. Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house. Okay, the sign says, my neighbor is a Karen. No way. I died laughing. I'm like, I have to know. You are lying. Humongous, y'. All. They had some time on their hands. Listen to Reasonably Shady from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I did want to dive really quick into Kansas City and Buffalo and just one overarching theme to me. It can't truly be a rivalry until one team wins one of the meaningful games. And this does have a chance to be a great NFL rivalry. Right. But I think we have seen matchups. Definitely. I'll just go in my life. Like when you close your eyes, you think Michael Jordan, like, who were his rivals? You would say, like, oh, Patrick Ewing's Knicks and Reggie Miller's Pacers. Well, last time I checked, whenever they would play those teams, Michael's team would win. So it's like, yeah, the games were really good and it was entertaining. But we act like this was a back and forth situation. It was like, no, it was kind of one sided. Right. Like people like Tiger and Phil. No, Phil never be Tiger. Like whenever they were matched up, Tiger dominated him. Now they both had a lot of individual success separate from each other, but whenever it mattered. And they were both in the mix. Tiger one. So they were contemporaries. They both stacked up. Crazy accomplishments, obviously Tiger more than one or the other and made a lot of money. But they were not rivals. Part of Tiger's mystique, he didn't have a rival. That's what made Tom Brady pretty interesting is like, it's going to be Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Well, trust me, as someone that loved Peyton Manning in junior high and early on in college, it was a one sided thing. The Patriots owned Peyton Manning and the Colts, they couldn't beat him until 2006. And that's when it officially became a rivalry. It's like the Yankees, Red Sox, it's a great rivalry, but it felt pretty one sided. Felt like, yeah, the Yankees always won championships and the Red Sox never did until 2004. And I think sometimes you need a moment to happen when it has to happen in January. And there's no disputing that. The Bills have played the Chiefs really well. And this matchup through nine games over the last six years or whatever has been very entertaining to watch. But when we've beat you five times and they're all regular season games and you've beat us four times and they're all in the playoffs, it's hard to put much validity in those five wins because today I thought the Bills kind of worked. The Chiefs, they dominated that game. They were in complete control. They were up two scores in the fourth quarter. It took a fourth and 17, which of course Andy has a play to get a guy wide open on a fourth and fucking 17. But it took that to even get them to be a one score game late in the fourth quarter. Like Chiefs kind of got manhandled, which again, they would say, this happened to us before the regular season. We have lost these guys literally, I think five straight years. But is there any person that would bet on the Bills to beat them in the playoffs now? Hopefully, just as a lover of sports and as a lover of legacies and just the how we talk about these guys in historical context, I want this to be meaningful and I want Josh and the Bills to take them down, but they have to for this game to actually mean something. Because right now it's like, okay, they beat him again. The regular season, we've seen that song and dance over and over and over again. And listen, if the Bills played the Chiefs like they do all these other teams, they would never lose. They would never lose a game. But I just. A couple weeks ago we watched the Bills playing the Falcons. I'm like, what's going on? Well, if they played this Chiefs game against the Atlanta Falcons, they win by 20 points. So clearly the Bills can get up for Kansas City. But. And they needed this game because the Patriots had won. All of a sudden it's like we don't have a lead. We're. We'd be down a game and they've already beat us. We'd be talking like, what is going on with the Bills? Today was big for them. You gained some momentum. You know, Kansas City, now you get a bye week. You're five and you know, five and four. It's not the end of the world by any means, but it's going to be really difficult to win the division. But at the end of the day, like, you're not afraid to go on the road and, you know, be a succeed. But if you're the Bills, like, you're going to have to get the monkey off your back if you ever want to be taken seriously as like the team that we want you to be. Like a Super bowl contender. Like, you're a Super bowl contender because you're always good and have a lot of wins. But whenever you play this team when it matters, it doesn't go your way. And as I'm rooting for that to happen, I want to see their Peyton Manning in, oh, six come back against Kansas City. It's what would make this create a rivalry because right now there's just. There isn't one there. There's a regular season winning streak which, which is cool and impressive to watch. A couple other things I want to give some game balls out. I mean, some, some of the defensive performances today I can imagine that Brian Flores on Wednesday night or Wednesday when he got in front of his defensive unit and kind of gave out the game plan, preached all week and then obviously the night before the game, Saturday night, when he probably gives it gives like an impassioned thought on the game before everyone breaks to go to bed. We got to win this game. We can't put this on the offense or this young quarterback. We need to step our shit up and we're going to play the game that we played last year all the time and kick ass and take names and they brought it from the jump. Now it turns out JJ made some of the best plays of his career. Obviously his career is pretty short, but multiple nice touchdown passes. The one to Jefferson, first TD of the game was fantastic. His touchdown run was, was nice. I mean, obviously he's a good athlete and he had the game winning pass, but the defensive effort and the, the energy, you could see Flores on the sideline like this was, this was a line in the sand game. Like we got to show we lose this game, our season's over. It's just pack it in. Let's just keep fighting for, for pride. But we're not going to the playoffs. Like we're not going anywhere. And they came out on the road against the Lions, who coming into this game, I would have said it's definitely a Super bowl contender and kind of dominated them. I mean really did took it to him on the road. Flores and J.J. mcCarthy, they definitely deserve some game balls. I would say the other guy is, he's taken a lot of heat. And you know, Mike Tomlin takes a lot of heat too. But like when it ever comes to scheme, people like, well, Mike's just delegating Terrell Austin, we could have just elevated Flores. There was a moment and I mentioned this to Colin, the colts are up seven nothing and they're driving. It's like 14 plays. I think they had like 10 plays to gain like 20 yards. The drive was taken forever. But they were just like, they'll probably kick a field goal here. They have complete control of this game. It'll be 10 to nothing. And I don't feel like the Steelers season is, is going to. About to take a turn for the worst. And it was the moment where you're like, they're going to lose this game. And all of a sudden this is when the Ravens really make their charge. The next couple of weeks and we look up and the Steelers just completely fell apart. And then TJ Watt comes around the left edge and sacks the quarterback. Forces the fumble and they get it. And the Steelers never look back. And I can imagine Tomlin terrell, Austin Hayward, T.J. watt, this was it, man. This was a kitchen sink game for your defense that you're playing this offense that is, that looks like the 99 Rams. I mean, they're just scoring at will, they're punting at a historically low clip. Their running back looks like he's on a pace to like match LT for the greatest fantasy performance of all time and like 28 touchdowns. It's like you're just really about to get worked at home by Daniel Jones and the Colts. And T.J. watts said, not so fast, my friend. And when I pay a guy $100 million, you're the team captain. Sometimes I need you to just put my team, put my organization on your back and say, fuck it. I, we might go down, but I'm going to do something about this if we do go down. And even J.J. watt, who calls a ton of Steeler games, just like sometimes you just need your best player to make a play. And TJ didn't, It completely flipped the game. And then the entire unit started to dominate. I think, you know, Highsmith had multiple, multiple sacks. Cam Hayward was flying around. They had, I think they sacked him five times, they hit him a couple other times. They had multiple picks that caused multiple fumbles. I think they had five turnovers and it was just on like Donkey Kong. And they were coming at him from every angle and they were hitting Daniel Jones over and over and over again. And the reason the Steelers have lost the last couple of weeks is because their pass rush had been non existent. It really had. It's one thing on a Thursday night game, it's another thing on a long, you know, 10 day break. They didn't have a sack of Jordan Love and they started destroying him today. And their best player set the tone. And sometimes sports isn't that complicated. Like whoever I'm paying the most, I'm just in desperate need for him to do something. Like, you watch the warriors sometimes, like shit's hitting the fan. Like, hey Steph, just, just figure it out. Hey Ohtani, like, I just need you to hit a couple bombs today. We are struggling, you know, and it happens all the time in other sports, it happens all the time in football. And the Steelers were, their backs were against the wall and T.J. watt made sure, honestly he was, he was the catalyst to get him going. And offensively then they just didn't have to do much. And Rogers has been a good, good Player for him. He has not. It's been the defense and the defense came to play today and made plays after play after play. I would say, you know, I gave JJ one. I would say this for Caleb. Sometimes the same thing with J.J. like I, I can live with crappy place, you know, Caleb, sometimes it's this first read's not there. He starts scrambling around and it just becomes like a chaotic play that turns out to be nothing. If you're gonna give me explosive down the field plays, touchdown passes, touchdown runs, he caught a touchdown today. It's like I, I can live with negatives. If you're giving me a lot of positives, I don't mind an interception a game if you average three touchdowns. You know, I just can't live with no touchdowns and turnovers. Right. Patrick Mahomes, I can't have, you know, late second half turnovers, those kill you. You can't overcome them. Right? And listen, he's, he's not an uncriticizable player. Like, he made a pass today that put his team in a compromised situation. He threw it up way down the field to a really fast guy, but triple coverage, and it was a pick. It was a devastating blow to their hopes of, you know, winning that game. And, you know, Caleb Williams did not turn the ball every day, but he also just made some explosive plays. He does some things that make you scratch your head. But there was a moment today where it's like, okay, we're playing the Bengals and it's your classic. We're going to need to score 35 or 40 points and can we do it? And Ben Johnson in his bag. But Ben Johnson's been in his bag. In some of these games that they've lost today, that wasn't the case. So got to give a game ball to that offense because they came through with some enormous plays. I mean, a stat that's pretty mind blowing is no team since 1996, pretty sure was the 96 giants has lost back to back games with scoring 38 or more points. I mean, in the NFL, that's, that makes sense. It's pretty hard. I would bet if we did a study of the last 20 years. If you just score 38 points, at what clip do you win 95% of games? I mean, on average, how often does A team score 39 points, right? 1% of the time. I mean, you're winning games. Such a high clip. And you watch today, it's like they couldn't stop a soul. And even when they scored to take the Lead late in the game, I went. They left too much time on the clock. And a couple of plays later, Loveland's going like 70 yards for a touchdown, which was just. Sometimes you need teams like the Bengals that are just awesome watches. And I don't even blame, you know, some of these players in the locker room after the game are being asked about how crappy the defense is. Like, what is Jabar Chase supposed to say? Yeah, we just got to keep. Keep working on our fundamentals, just keep hammering home the scheme, keep up, keep working hard and practice. We're pros. It's real. Like, they're terrible. I never have a problem. You know, I bet the running back who also had, like, just get off the fucking field was literally his quote. No, Brown, he's gonna get people like, you can't. You can't say what, like this happened back. It happens one time. Keep your mouth shut, okay? Happens back to back weeks. You get an onside kick. Anytime you get an onside kick and then score a touchdown and still lose the game. I saw. I don't even know who it was, but some big Bears fan online said that went potentially from the worst Bears loss of my entire life to one of the most exhilarating wins in 90 seconds. I'm telling you, today was. If last week was a pretty big downer, today was a pretty big upper. That. That was a lot of fun. Talk about a downer, though, I wasn't super locked into this game. One, it's Packers, Panthers doesn't exactly do it for me. Two, I just assumed the packers would win even if they weren't super dialed in like 23 to 15 or something and just win the game. And he kept looking up. It was like 13 to 6, 13 to 6. I remember the halftime. I'm checking kind of the stat line. I'm like got there. Oh, for four in the red zone, but they're moving the ball at will. Like, what is going on? And then all of a sudden, the longer it went, it's like this kind of has. It's little different the way we got there, but kind of the Browns Packer game. It's like this is starting to feel weird. Something's a little off here. And then you look up and the dust settles and they lose the game. Now the difference between the Browns and the Panthers is like Panthers are five and four. So Browns are going to win three games all season long. The Panthers probably end up eight or nine wins. Like they are respectable football team. But when you're playing the Panthers at home and your coach comes out, which I, I do respect. Like, I don't think most coaches, unless you have little kids, which I would imagine LaFleur does is like super dialed in for Halloween. Listen, I, I don't even like Halloween. Really. Right. I see some, like my friends that I went to high school or college with or some of my wife's friends online, it's like I, I don't have much in common with the person. Maybe I gotta change. I'm about to have a kid. I get it's their super bowl, so maybe I'll be wearing costumes. But I haven't worn costumes. I never even did, like in high school. I never cared. But again, I'm not one to judge if you're wearing costumes. I'd probably be a huge hypocrite. I'll be wearing costumes for the next decade with my children. But if you're going to go lafleur and say you don't. I think he was literally asked, what? You know, are you excited for Halloween? And he gave the answer like, I don't give a shit about Halloween. I'm trying to win a football game. If you're going to be tough football guy, you then got to win the game. And you can't lose the game. Especially when you look back, you're like, well, the Lions just lost. We'd be in the driver's seat to win this division. It's like we just lost to the Panthers. We tied the Cowboys. So every time that. And I have a guy with a future, just super bowl appearance for the Packers, I do not feel good. You can't trust him. You can't trust him. And then on top of that, you lose. Tucker Kraft, who is. I don't even know how old he is. My guess would be 24, 25. Got to be at his age range, one of the best players in the league. Definitely one of the best up and coming players in the league. So if he tore his acl, that, that is a. That's a devastating loss. Now they did get a couple weeks ago. Watson back. So the wide receiver room's a little deeper. But Tucker Kraft is. His chemistry with, with the quarterback has just been so awesome. So that's just. I just don't think you're sleeping much. I really don't. I don't know if you're the packers, like how you, how you sleep. You know, I don't. And sometimes there are those games like, that's one of those. That is like, I just. You're not going to feel good about this till like you Wednesday. It's going to be a miserable office. I've been in some miserable offices over the years, you know, for a couple days after a bad loss. That one will be up there.

Jenna World, Jenna Jameson, Vivid Video and the Valley is a new podcast about the history of the adult film industry. I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi the Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading? That's us taking hold of our Life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s. Huge, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s. Listen to General World on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, couple quick before we get out of here, I I me and Colin talked a lot about the Denver Houston game. I I I guess my only quick Thoughts on that is Bo Nicks can look just horrendous for just such long stretches and then can make one throw and you're like, ah, looks really good. So they got to find a way if they. Because now we're at the point where, especially if they beat the Raiders on Thursday night and they're 8 and 2, the Broncos are going to end up with 13 or 14 wins. Pretty good chance they end up winning the division. So it's all going to be about like, how far are you going to go in the playoffs? You cannot go far in the playoffs with your quarterback being this inconsistent. And I, I do think they have to find a way and I know he hit a couple big passes today to just be more consistent in the passing game, in the short, intermediate game and he makes some throws where you're like, that is just horrendous. But I will say this about Bo Nix. You saw it today with jj, you saw it with Caleb. These guys shown some mental toughness. And the Houston Texans defense is no joke. That unit is legit. Will Anderson's probably one of my favorite young players in the league. He is a badass. But some of these guys he's missing are wide open. They're not all blanketed like Dion or Reavis. You're in their hip pocket. I mean, some of these guys are open if you can just complete the ball. And you got to find a way to complete the ball because the Broncos are just pulling games out of you know what. But hey, you look up if we saw last year The Chiefs won 15, about 13 of them were had no business winning and all of a sudden they're in the Super Bowl. So any means necessary. Okay, couple quick things on college. The night slate last night was awesome. And I miss more traditional matchups in theory. Look, I missed the Pac 12, I missed the Big 12 with Oklahoma and Texas, right. I missed some of the sanctity of what the Big Ten used to look like before Maryland and Rutgers and some of these team joined Nebraska. But it is what it is and we're never going back. So when you turn on USC at Nebraska or Oklahoma at Tennessee, I googled it. I'm like, what year Tennessee go into the sec? They were an original member. They originally started like the Southern Conference back in like either the late 1800s or the early 1900s. And when I think of Oklahoma, I think of them playing Texas, Texas A and M, pre sec, you know, up through the Kansas states, the Iowa, the, you know, the kind of that region. And now they're playing Ole Miss and Tennessee and Bama and LSU and Georgia. And these matchups are awesome. So we do get better matchups than we used to get. So I just embrace it. And I was glued. I thought the Oklahoma Tennessee game, not the best played offensive game you'll ever see. I mean, the Tennessee quarterback was getting obliterated by Oakland's. Oklahoma's defense through a ton of interceptions. I mean, was all over the map and they were still right in that game. John Mattier did not play well for periods of time in that game. Made some big plays late, but that atmosphere was awesome. Oklahoma now, you know, got to be feeling pretty good about themselves. Their defense is real. I mean, they got dudes. Even Lane Kiffin said last week they might have one of the best players in the country on that defense. The pass rush is awesome. All their linebackers fly around, DBs, make plays on the ball. It was just. It was just a very, very entertaining game to watch. And then Nebraska and usc, it was like one big topic right now is like, LSU's governor came out and I think, you know, people are trying to push to the Pete, the animals of the world, like, we're going to change the way we write these contracts. I doubt it. Because it's like, okay, if you want me to come to LSU or you want me to come to Penn State, like, if I'm Matt Rule, well, I have a job and they like me and they will keep paying me to come. So if you to get me to come, you're going to have to incentivize me to come. That's been a huge part of these buyouts, right? It's like, why did Lincoln Riley or Brian Kelly or some of these guys, Jimbo Fisher's contract look like? They look because those guys were at Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Florida State. Lane Kiffin does not need to leave Ole Miss. Right? Matt ruled. Nebraska just gave him a two year, like, $30 million extension. He doesn't need to leave. So it's like, okay. No, it's the most powerful thing you'll ever be told in your entire life. From when you're a little kid to when you start dating girls to when you try to do business deals. No, not interested. If you really want whatever the other person has to sell, whether that's, you know, trying to get a date, trying to get a job, right? Try to, you know, talk to your children. No. Drives you nuts. And that creates a lot of these markets that go nuts is because those people, whoever you're courting to be Your coach. Their first statement is often, no, not interested. Even if they are. And it's going to be fascinating. Everyone keeps talking like the buyouts are dead. Buyouts are dead. We'll see. Because a lot of these guys do not need to leave their job. Let's use this as an example. Kenny Dillingham here at Arizona State, the program he took over from Herman Edwards. Some of these articles that are coming out about Brian Kelly, that he does not know the names of some of his players. I know for a fact Herm Edwards didn't know the name of a lot of his players. The program was an embarrassment. It was a joke. It was, I'd argue, untouchable. If you were a coach with any options, ASU would be the last job you would want. And it's not like Kenny Dillingham had that many options. He wanted to become a head coach. He also is from here. He went to Chaparral High School. He went to Arizona State and started his coaching career. That obviously ascended him to bringing him back in his mid to early 30s to be the head coach. Well, you know, we talk a lot about like some of these jobs. Can you hire a guy without experience at the highest level in the Power 4? When you take a guy from a smaller school, it's a huge jump. And there really isn't parallels to when you're coaching in 2025 at Boise State, at Tulane, at San Diego State, as there would be at LSU or Penn State beside football plays and the sport played within the confines of a football field. And the amount of guys you could have on a team and on the field at one time, the business of paying coaches, of keeping players of nil, none of it translates hiring a general manager and his entire staff. So I would always try to find a guy from a Power 4 conference, even if obviously Arizona State doesn't have that much in common with LSU football. This guy has still been playing people. Last year he made the playoffs. What Kenny Dillingham has done is really remarkable. And yesterday he beat Matt Campbell, who most people have said is like one of the top candidates for like seven straight years, for the second straight year. But this time he did it without his starting quarterback and his best NFL prospect, wide receiver. And a starting quarterback ran for like almost 250 yards. Because a couple weeks ago when he had to start the backup who had to start against Iowa State, he realized he can't throw, but he can run. So we changed the entire offense around this guy to run the ball, and it worked. And Arizona State won. So I'm watching a young energetic guy who's passionate, who cares? Who took a sandwich and turned into pretty good chicken salad on a sourdough bun. That's going to work. Now is Kenny Dillingham going to leave Arizona State? Maybe not. I played golf with a guy a couple weeks ago who's a big booster who said he lives on the same street as his sisters. His parents are right down the street. Like it's very family friendly, great place to live. But I know this. If I'm Penn State, if I'm lsu, if I'm Florida, I'm all over this guy because he's proving he can win at the Power 4. So the expectations are pretty high. He's playing other NFL players, players, other coaches that are making a ton, other rosters that have a lot of money and he's beating them. He beat Texas Tech earlier this year. They have a 28 million dollar roster. So I just don't understand why, you know, I understand why Lane Kiff is a top candidate. I could make the argument this guy should be number two beside the non like Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, like, would I rather have if I'm lsu, Penn State or Florida, would I seriously rather have Kenny Dillingham or Jon Gruden? What are we talking about? Are we serious? Are we having a real conversation? And the answer would be no. And last but not least, Carson Beck. I don't think there's any guy that to start the season went, whoa, maybe we were wrong, maybe he's not that bad. And the first couple of weeks like God, Carson Beck looks pretty good. And Miami was most would consider the top team in the country and Carson Beckham look like an NFL player again, maybe not the first overall pick, but a guy you could take in the third round where last year I thought he was an undraftable player. And then he lost the game against Louisville and he immediately threw his wide receiver under the bus for running the wrong route. Then a couple weeks later he loses another game to SMU and more than likely knocks Miami out of the playoffs. And he immediately throws the offensive coordinator under the bus by saying that I don't call the plays, my job is to just execute them. What the defense did was pretty simple all game long. I don't think there's a guy in the country who without getting in any trouble, not being arrested, doing anything shady off the field, got taken clearly off more draft boards than last night. Carson Beck, maybe after the one time like, hey, emotions are high, new team say something Stupid. You're young. We all regret it. Happens twice in a month. Give me a break. Wouldn't touch this guy with a 10 foot pole. Regardless of what you think about him as a player, if we're just in agreement, like, yeah, he could be on an NFL roster next year. He could be a backup quarterback for five years. Right? Okay, I, I don't want a guy who's not a starter, who, who will throw the quarterback or throw a wide receiver or throw a coach under the bus, like that's his first inclination. Which again, sometimes when you say it's on me or my responsibility or I screwed up, you don't even mean it. It's just what you say. It's like. It's like the fakest thing that we all agree with. Like, yeah, it's not even your fault, but we get it. He can't even do that. He couldn't just be like, yeah, we screwed up. He can. You can even say we screwed up. No, he's like, yeah, it's not my fault. Coach wide receiver. Like, that's, that's the one position where it's like, throw his name tag into the trash because that guy's taking himself immediately off draft boards just in press conferences alone. Have a great night, Adios, and let's have a week. Oh, yeah. Before we get out of here, I, I do got to tell you about my friends at Hard Rock BET Monday Night Football, which we'll dive into in our reaction to Cardinals Cowboys, because I think we'll probably learn more with. With Troy talking about Kyler, like the Kyler Murray just get benched, because that's kind of what we all think just happened. And I'm sure it'll be talked about tomorrow, which I think we all believe that's the case. But we'll find out tomorrow. Jacoby Brissette is the starter, and when he started, it's pretty clear the Cardinals have been pretty good. They easily could have beat the Colts a couple weeks ago. They probably should have beat the Green Bay Packers. Like, he's, he's played well and the Cowboys defense is not good. So you're giving me a field goal for Jacoby Brissette to go on the road with the Cardinals. I know Dak and the Cowboys offense is good, but I, I think I could see this being like a one point game and Jacoby throwing multiple touchdowns. So give me the card. Cardinals plus three tomorrow in Dallas. The volume Toyota is all in all season.

Hello, America's sweetheart. Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless Hillbilly Heist from Smartless Media, Campside Media and big Money Players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist. Kind of like Robin Hood, except for the part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story from for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're sitting like, oh God, what do we do? What do we do? That was dumb. People do not follow my example. Listen to Crimeless Hillbilly Heist on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is an iheart pod.
