The Smitty Woo and Friends Show
Welcome to the podcast where friends try to stay on topic—and fail gloriously. From breaking down the latest sports drama like they're ESPN analysts (with zero credentials), to debating which movie villain had a point, to trying to understand what on Earth is happening in the news—this show covers it all.
Think of it as your group chat in audio form: chaotic, hilarious, occasionally insightful, and always a little off the rails. Whether you're into touchdowns, TikToks, or terrible takes, there's something here for you.

Episode 14: The "Back Like We Never Left" Sports Extravaganza
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Smitty Woo Show returns after a three-year break with a reunion that feels like no time has passed at all. Host Smitty Woo brings together four of his closest friends for an electrifying sports conversation that begins with comprehensive NFL season predictions but evolves into so much more.
What starts as a methodical division-by-division breakdown of the upcoming NFL season quickly transforms into passionate debates about quarterback value, team potential, and bold predictions that will either age like fine wine or spoiled milk. The group tackles tough questions: Will anyone dethrone Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the AFC West? Has Dak Prescott reached his ceiling with the Cowboys? Could the Las Vegas Raiders be this year's surprise team? The friendly yet unfiltered nature of these discussions reveals both deep football knowledge and the kind of bias that only true fans possess.
The conversation extends beyond football into NBA playoffs predictions, with each participant staking their claim on conference champions and ultimately who will hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy. But perhaps most entertaining is when the show pivots to pop culture with an "Actor Switcheroo" segment, where the friends imagine alternative casting choices that could have transformed movies we know and love.
The chemistry between these five friends shines brightest in the final segments — "I Told You So" moments where they celebrate their most accurate past predictions, and "Yeah, I Said It" where they stand by their most controversial hot takes. From claiming Michael Jordan would have won six championships without Scottie Pippen to declaring certain WNBA stars overhyped, nothing is off-limits in this unfiltered conversation.
Whether you're seeking thoughtful sports analysis or simply enjoy listening to friends banter about the teams and players they love (or love to hate), this comeback episode delivers entertainment value that reminds us why sports talk is at its best when it's authentic, passionate, and occasionally ridiculous.

Speaker 3say tomato , I say tomato . You say tomato , I say tomato . You know what I'm saying . So we're about to get this thing going . Man , appreciate all of you guys . We're going to have a little fun , talk a little football , basketball , a little bit of everything . So , to get us started , the NFL draft just ended what a month ago ? So a lot of free agents have been signed , a lot of the draft picks have been signed , had rookie minicamp already , so the view is getting a little bit clearer on these teams . Of course , there's a few guys still out there , so it's way early , it's May , anything can happen . But we're going to discuss who we got going , what we have going on with the NFL , the standings , who we think is going to come out on top , the whole shebang . So , gavin , we're going to say the NFC East for last , for obvious reasons , right ? So let's go to the AFC East . Who do you have come out of the AFC East ? You can give me the whole order records , whatever you want to do .
Speaker 7I think this is Josh Allen's year . I'm just going to say that Buffalo Bills is going to win the AFC this year . I think the team who's been killing it , who's been leading it the last few years which is we all know those Chiefs I think their stint is done . They may get a wild card this year , but Josh Allen is going to take it . They got a defense . The defense is power-packed and that's really who I see coming out of there . I think the only other team that's really going to give them some heat is those Ravens . Man , you know which . Honestly , I would like to see the Ravens more so than Buffalo , but I think Allen's about to be a dog this year , man .
Speaker 3Okay , so you got the Bills coming out the east .
Speaker 7I got the Bills coming out the east .
Speaker 3Okay , who you got in last place in that division .
Speaker 7Last place I'm going to have to say the Browns .
Speaker 3They're not in the East .
Speaker 7I thought you said AFC we're talking about the AFC . You're talking about individual .
Speaker 3Kansas .
Speaker 7City .
Speaker 3They're not in the East either . Let me give you the Paves in the east there's the Bills , there's the Patriots , there's the Dolphins and there's the Jets . What ?
Speaker 7was the fourth . What's the fourth Patriots ?
Speaker 3Jets .
Speaker 7I got to go . Patriots , Okay . So you think the Patriots are going to do betterots ?
Speaker 3Jets , I got to go Patriots . Okay , you think the Patriots are going to do better than the Jets ?
Speaker 7You said last , I think the Jets are going to do better than the Patriots .
Speaker 3You think the Jets are going to do better than the Patriots ?
Speaker 7I do . I do think the Jets are going to do better than the Patriots .
Speaker 3They got a coach now . Okay , that's interesting Interesting thought there . Cocaine is a powerful drug . Cocaine is a powerful drug . But yeah , so appreciate .
Speaker 5Appreciate . But yeah , so appreciate you Appreciate you .
Speaker 7Anyway , jets will be better than the Patriots .
Speaker 3Yes , Okay , all right , Team Money who you got ?
AFC East Predictions
Speaker 3You can give me one through four . Top team in the East . Where's team ?
Speaker 6Yeah . So AFC East . I'm a fan of Josh Allen , so Buffalo is going to win the division . I got New England coming up this year . I think they're going to be in second place this year . I think Drake May is going to come out part of this year . He got some weapons now . I like their coach . I think they're gonna be a solid team . I don't know if they'll make the playoffs , but they'll be solid . Then I'll have Miami behind them . Miami is always gonna be a solid team , but the quarterback situation is iffy with Dua and whether he can stay healthy or not . Then , dead last , I have the Jets . Not a knock against their head coach . I like their head coach . He's solid , but I just don't think they have enough talent yet to contend in that division .
Speaker 6They're going to be my last place team in the AFCs Cool .
Speaker 3What about you , julian , how you got the East shaken up ?
Speaker 5I mean this is pretty much going to be across the board . I'm sure Buffalo , just like New England , ran the table for like what a decade , decade and a half . I think it's going to be Buffalo . I know the Jets are probably going to be last . I can't decide between New England and Miami for second . Miami still has that offense , but New England with the new coach . I think that should help out Drake May second year . So I'll go , I'll go , I'll give it to New England for second place . So Buffalo , new England , miami Jets .
Speaker 3Cool , osama , who you got .
Speaker 4Yeah , I'm going to piggyback off of Jewel and Darren . I think Buffalo going to run away with it . I mean , it's all barring no injuries , of course , but Buffalo going to run away with the division as usual . I think New England is going to be second .
Speaker 4I think the Jets are going to pull up the rear and Miami is going to . I think Miami is going to Miami and New England , I think , are going to be fighting for that second place . I think so because I think if Tua is healthy , Miami is a problem and Tyree is back , Miami is a problem . So if they both are healthy and they both playing ball , you can't count them out . So I think it can go either way with the Patriots and the Dolphins . I'm going to get a slight edge to the Patriots right now , as it stands .
Speaker 7Cool Tua not playing all year . Y'all , Y'all know that right .
Speaker 3I mean , he's good for 10 games .
Speaker 7He gonna trip . And get another concussion , and it's a wrap . It's a wrap . I'm telling y'all right now .
Speaker 3A year ago .
Speaker 4Oh , okay .
Speaker 3Yeah , I mean , I'll be honest with you Tua's hits that he gets his concussions on don't seem very hard . But you know , when you've had one concussion I've heard that you know you're prone to get more . So you know you just get hit the right way .
Speaker 4What's that rapper from ? I remember when I was taking part , the blind rapper , Blind Fury . That's how two of you sit down here . Yeah , man .
Speaker 6I told you down there freestyle . No , I think if he gets another concussion this year , he just needs to go ahead and hang it up .
Speaker 5Yeah , we said that . We said that the year before , didn't we ? Yeah , man , how many times are you going to ?
Speaker 6be on the field , straight laid out like that man . Did he have two concussions or three this year ? Yeah , man , but how many times are you going to ?
Speaker 7be on the field , straight laid out , like that man . How many did he have this year ? Did he have two concussions or three this year ?
Speaker 5He had two . I think he was pretty good last year , but it was the year before .
Speaker 6Right , he had three . He had three that year . Man , it was crazy . Yeah , who's that ?
Speaker 4He's going to die on the field , man .
Speaker 7Yeah , that's what he said , Literally All right , keep on playing , it's going to happen .
Speaker 3He's trying to get to that . How many years is it before you can get to your pitching ? Seven years in the NFL , four years , what's that number ? I don't know how long it is yeah .
Speaker 5What would be interesting is , if he does get hurt , you know who the backup probably might be right , your boy from Texas .
Speaker 6Viewers , yeah , viewers , oh , that'll be a straight disaster . Then they'll be third place for sure . They might even be last .
Speaker 3So to kind of mirror most of y'all . But Scoop , you know , I got Bills , patriots , dolphins , jets . I think the Patriots are , you know they have a good defense already and put some more weapons . They got Campbell in to help protect May . You know , getting Henderson in it's going to give Stevenson that one-two punch that they had . So I think that running game , Drake , may , is an upgrade from any quarterback they've had since Brady . So I think that they're going to get second place . I think the Dolphins are just going to step back . You know , I think Tyreek Hill is shaky , deciding . You know what he wants to do . You know what I'm saying . At the end of the year he's like he's out , then he's like he's in , then later on he's out . So , man it's . He might be Harris out here . Yeah , man , tyreek Harris Hill , yeah , so we're going to care for you . So that's the East . So now the North . Real quick , afc North . Let me say the team , gavin for you . I know the team . Let me make sure we're on the same page .
Speaker 7I thought you said . I thought you said I didn't know . You said AFC East at the beginning .
AFC North Breakdown
Speaker 7I thought , you said just AFC .
Speaker 3No worries , no worries .
Speaker 7So the AFC .
Speaker 3North . Let's start with you , osama , who you got coming out of the AFC North .
Speaker 4Number one . I think it's the toss-up between the Ravens and the Bengals , but I'm going to give the edge to Lamar now . You know what I'm saying . Bengals to Lamar now , and I'll say Ravens won , bengals too , steelers , and then the Browns . Okay .
Speaker 3Julia .
Speaker 5Man , let me go from the bottom to the top . That's what she said .
Speaker 4So Cleveland , he was right , man , he was right , yeah , cleveland .
Speaker 5I don't even know what that means . Cleveland , cleveland , pittsburgh . If Aaron Rodgers comes and plays which we assume he's going to play , I guess then I get him . Third man if Joe Burrow can stay healthy , man , I got Cincinnati number one . Cincinnati and Baltimore . They're both cold man , but Burrow always gets hurt . They always have these rough starts and they got to just fight their way to make the playoffs or just barely miss it . If Joe's healthy all the way through , they taking that spot . So I'm going to go barring injury Cincinnati , baltimore , pittsburgh , cleveland . Okay .
Speaker 3Scoot , I'm going to Baltimore , pittsburgh , cleveland . Okay , scoot .
Speaker 7I'm going to go Baltimore , kind of how I mentioned in my last you know last comment . I think Baltimore is going to contend with those bills . You know , it's always an interesting game each year .
Speaker 7So , and then I got to rock with you with the Bengals , I put I put the Bengals at second just because of the talent that they have . I mean they got two really good receivers , the Browns last , of course , and then I mean Steelers is always a toss up , so you know I'll have them in third , just because it don't seem like they know what they want to do . And they gifted us pickings , you know . So who's catching the ball now ? You know what I mean DK . They do got Metcalf . I forgot about that , but I guess he still need a quarterback . So , yeah , I'll put them in third . So Ravens taking it , ravens taking it , though .
Speaker 3Okay , money .
Speaker 6So NFL is a quarterback league , so I got what should have been the MVP last year taking the division this year , and Lamar Jackson , Baltimore Ravens . Closely following behind him is the second-best quarterback in the division , which is Joe Burrow , and then following up behind them far is Pittsburgh and then Cleveland . So I think Cleveland's going to really push hard this year to be one of the worst teams in the NFL .
Speaker 4Should Dory dance ? Y'all think he's going to be starting . They're still trying to teach him a lesson .
Speaker 6They're going to start . They have to start . They got nothing going for him this year but to start him . Yeah , yeah , it will make sense , year but to start him . Yeah .
Speaker 7Yeah , it will make sense for them to start him . I get that .
Speaker 3So me , I'm never going to put the Bengals over the Ravens until their defense improves . You can't have the number one wide receiver statistically , the number one quarterback statistically and the number one sack leader and barely win games . You know what I'm saying . So until I didn't really see them improve much on their defense , they did draft pretty the first couple of rounds . They did draft pretty nice additions . So I'm going to have the Ravens and the Bengals behind them .
Speaker 3I actually got the Steelers last and I got them last because any team that's going to go out there I'm not thinking about Aaron Rodgers at the moment , right now they have Mason Rudolph , so any team with Mason Rudolph and you know as far as running game Harris is , you know whatever I just think that Steelers generally have a good defense , but I just don't see points coming anywhere . They're like absolutely the reverse of the Bengals . You know what I'm saying . So I just don't see it . I think if Shador does get a chance , shador will be the best quarterback on both of their teams right now . So that's why I give the Browns the nod over the Steelers at the point , because , like Money says , it's a quarterback league and to me the Browns got the best quarterback , even though he may not make the team . Julian , I see you sign what you have to say .
Speaker 5I don't think Shadu is better than Joe Flacco , but I don't care enough to argue about it .
Speaker 6I'll put it like this Joe Flacco is 40 .
Speaker 5And he's probably going to be the starter .
Speaker 6That's what's crazy about it . But my point being is that you're going to go down with a 40-year-old quarterback . I mean , you drafted two guys for a reason you got to see if they can play or not .
Speaker 5Yeah , but I'm hearing that the team ain't really want Shador . That was an owner's call . The owner wanted him , so what can you do he ?
Speaker 6may not make the team . He can tell the head coach he's going to play him Uh-huh .
Speaker 3Well , here's the thing . The thing about it is either Shador isn't going to make the team or Flacco's getting cut .
Speaker 5So no , they'll cut the other rookie before they cut him , though , right .
Speaker 3They're not going to cut .
Speaker 5Gabriel .
Speaker 3They spent a third-round pick on Gabriel . Oh , he was a third , he was a third-round pick , so Shadur was a fifth-round pick . They're not going to cut Gabriel over Shadur when they spent a third-round , so Shadur was a fifth round pick . They're not going to cut Gabriel over Shadur when they spent a third round pick on him .
Speaker 7Who's better in college ?
Speaker 4Shadur should have been a first round pick , so why does that even ?
Speaker 7matter . I don't think that matters , though that's my point . Even though he was a third , he came out third and Shador was fifth . He was still the better quarterback .
Speaker 3We all know they were trying to prove a point , you know , whatever that may be so there has been , and I'm saying this pretty confidently without having the information in front of me . I don't think a team has ever cut a third round pick before they play a game . He's a third round pick , you know what I'm saying .
Speaker 4Bill shouldn't have been picked in third round . He should have been way down the list .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 4It should have been a first round pick . I forgot about that they reached for him .
Speaker 5Most people say he should have been the first round pick . I think they reached it too .
Speaker 6I forgot about that they reached for him . Most people say he should have been a fifth round pick .
Speaker 3They dropped him in the third so we'll see how it pans out . We got like a month before minicamps , I think , so we'll start seeing the rep . But if Shador is fourth on the depth chart , like everybody says , what reps is he going to be getting to even try to make the team Practice squad ? You know what I'm saying ? We'll see how it grows .
Speaker 6I don't think he gets the practice squad .
Speaker 3Yeah , we'll see I don't think he gets to practice a lot . Yeah , we'll see AFC
AFC South and West Analysis
Speaker 3South . I'll go ahead and start this one . I think this is pretty easy . Of the number one team , I think the Texans are the best team in the division . The Jaguars just have to bounce back . I mean they have two running backs now because I think they drafted a wide receiver . I meant a wide receiver . So this has to be a year for Trevor Lawrence .
Speaker 3If Trevor Lawrence this is it for Trevor Lawrence , if Trevor Lawrence this is it , if Trevor Lawrence don't do anything , then things have to be looked at a certain way . You know what I'm saying . You're going to have Travis Henry . You're going to Travis Hunter . I'm sorry , you got Thomas Brian . Thomas . You still got a pretty nice tight end . They got an offensive lineman . They got an offensive lineman in the draft . Terrence Lawrence got to do something . He got to do something . So I don't believe in Anthony Richardson at all . So he's third . And the only reason why I got the Colts over the Titans is just because Cam Ward's a rookie and we don't know . So that's my order Texans , jags , colts , titans that's my order . Money .
Speaker 6Yeah , this is a big year for Trevor Lawrence . Like you said , man , all the hype , the greatest quarterback prospect to come out of college and all that stuff . If he don't do it this year , it ain't going to happen , man . So I think Houston is gonna win the division . I think Jacksonville is gonna come in second . Like I said , I don't trust Anthony Richardson , fantasy wise . He burned me big time . So I'm done with him . And Cam Ward I like him as a quarterback . But there's a reason why the Titans were the number one you know team drafted in this draft . The rest of their team isn't good enough , so they're going to be dead last .
Speaker 3Cool Scoot .
Speaker 7Of course . I mean , I think it's obvious , I think Houston is going to be at the top of that division . It's going to be real interesting . I'm a little excited to see the Jaguars . To be honest , you know , I agree , this is sunshine's make-or-break year for sure . I mean , I want to say we were saying that last year , but I give him another chance , since he got some talent on his team . Now the Colts , I think it's going to be a battle between who's going to be the sorriest . So you know , just because the Titans are who they are , I'm going to put them last because they just suck , you know , and I'll put the Colts at number three . But Titans are going to take that . They're gonna take that division .
Speaker 5The Texans .
Speaker 4You mean the Texans , you said the Titans .
Speaker 7Texans , texans , my bad , yeah , not the Titans , brandon , all right yeah , it's obvious Houston Texans number one .
Speaker 4I'm excited to see what Travis Hunter gonna do Jacksonville . I think they got a decent team and had him . Trevor Lawrence should have no excuses , no more . So I'm gonna go with Jacksonville for number two and I'm going to say Tennessee number three and Colts number four .
Speaker 3Got you All right .
Speaker 5Former Colts fan , juliet , I mean , that's my second team Texans . Obviously Duvall for my second team , yeah , colts , and then Tennessee . I think Anthony Richardson , if he don't show some this year , he might be out the league , no doubt . So I feel like what ? This will be his third year . I think it's now or never for him . I know I feel the same about Trevor Lawrence . I think Trevor , he needs to show . He can take that next step to like upper , upper level of a quarterback , but Richardson , he might be out of the league . He might be playing for the Rock next year in the UFL or whatever XFL or whatever XFL or whatever the lingerie league . But yeah , he got to do it this year , man .
Speaker 7Don't be playing for that football next year .
Speaker 3He could take as many breaks as he wanted in the UFL . He could come out as much as he wants . He could be tied . Afc West is this the year that somebody wins the division not named ? Patrick Muggles , Julian , what you think ?
Speaker 5I'm going to say yes , I think the Chargers , I think the Chargers is going to pull that off , man , they got the coaching , they got the quarterback , they got receivers , they got running game , they got a defense . I think that they can do it . And you know that you want to say the chiefs for like the next 20 years , just because patrick mahomes is his , him , but nobody stays on top that long . So I'm gonna say by like half a game chargers , then the chiefs , then den , then the Vegas Raiders . Okay , I know it's a long shot , easy money would be Chiefs , but I think Chargers is going to be a problem this year , all right .
Speaker 7Let's go . I got to roll with you on this one , got to remember what happened last year with them . Chiefs man , they had and y'all correct me if I'm wrong , they had what ? Eight , nine games where they won off of a weird field goal . You know , they barely won most of their games last year , you know . And just thinking about them , chargers man , I didn't even realize until I started watching the game with my son because he's a Chargers fan . But they was balling last year they were , they were , they were doing a thing , man . And now they finally , finally , finally got , got the QB a line . I think they're about to be better than the Chiefs this year , man . Then they got Harbaugh Harbaugh's a beast . So I got to go Chargers one , chiefs two , broncos three and the Osari Raiders man going to be last .
Speaker 3No love for Jenty .
Speaker 5All right Money , jenty All right Money , jenty cold , but he can't do it himself .
Speaker 4He's going to be in Barry Sanders land .
Speaker 6That's what he's going to do West for 2,000 yards and only win , like six or seven games , four games .
Speaker 7He's going to be another old boy that got traded from the Giants . He gonna have to find a new home , shaquan .
Speaker 3What you got money .
Speaker 6Man . Listen , I hear what y'all saying , but 15 still plays for the Kansas City Chiefs . Yes , I said 15 . I don't call him by his name , no more . He's elevated his self to that pantheon of number like 23 , 12 , 15 . As long as he's 15 playing , he run that division . I don't care what anybody says . Yeah , they won close games and all that stuff , but they still won . And why ? Because 15 was playing . So this man has never not been to a conference championship game in his entire career . He's just a winner , and I don't care what happened .
Speaker 6That dude had a trash team two years ago and won the Super Bowl and after that I said no more , I'm not going to adopt that man . As long as he's breathing and playing football , he's going to be on top of that division . Second place , yeah , chargers . And Harbaugh man to me is underrated . Well , I ain't going to say underrated , but he's one of the best coaches of all time . I mean Harp , college NFL . Wherever he goes , they win . So it's going to be close . They're going to be right behind them . And then Denver is going to be third and then , like I said , the sorry rate is going to be in fourth place . But yeah , that division is going to be a monster this year , that is going to be one of the best divisions in all of football .
Speaker 3Yeah , definitely Osama .
Speaker 1All right Number one I'm going with Wyatt Hayden , Wyatt Hayden .
Speaker 4Patrick Mahomes . Man , you can't count him out . There's two dudes that's played football that you never count out Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes . It don't matter what the score is either he going to find a way to win or the NFL going to find a way to win . So you cannot count out Patrick Mahomes , he is going to win . So number one , the Chiefs , then I'll go with the Chargers for number two and Denver , and then Las Vegas pulling up the rear , jensen going to have 1,500 yards and they're going to win four games .
Speaker 7Chiefs only going in with a wild card .
Speaker 5Yeah , and I just want to say , just because I think Chargers going to division , I still think the Chiefs are probably going to go to the AFC Championship . You know what I'm saying ? You still do that as a wild card . Chiefs are still there . I just think I just got to charge with the division , Because at this point in time I don't even think the Chiefs care about the regular season . They just want to get in the dance . And once you get in the dance , just turn it different football .
Speaker 7It's just different football , and only a certain amount of people know how to play it , and and and why did ? He , my voice ain't deep enough . He know how to play in them playoffs though , so yeah , yeah .
Speaker 3Yeah , yeah . So I do have somebody different winning the division , but my number one team is the Broncos and I say that because I think y'all sleep in the Broncos and how good their defense is , how good their rookie we had a lot of amazing rookie quarterbacks last year and the Broncos got one as well . Their defense is they made their defense to beat the Chiefs Great defense . And then they added Barron from Texas just to improve their defense . Their first game against the Chiefs . They lost by two points and the Chiefs scored 16 points . The last game of the season don't matter , obviously , because the Chiefs were sitting people , I believe but they won 38 to nothing . I know nobody was playing , but I think that the Broncos' defense is tremendous and they have a quarterback that can play . So you know , putting them third . There's no wrong answer to the West , because the West is going to be , you know , strong . Oh yeah , there's a wrong answer .
Speaker 5It's called the .
Speaker 3Raiders . Well , yeah , yeah , raiders is the wrong answer , it's the wrong answer .
Speaker 5So there's three right answers . But you don't think that the quarterback what's his name ? I forgot for Bronco , bo Bo Nix yeah , you don't think that he was kind of spoon-fed this season ? I don't think he was asked to do a lot . From what I saw , because of that really good defense , really good coaching . They tried to really run the ball a lot I don't really feel like he was asked to do a lot . Not to say he wasn't a good quarterback , because I think he's talented , but out of all the rookie quarterbacks he was probably asked to do the least . So you know , I don't know .
Speaker 3And sometimes that's what you need to do . I mean , tom Brady , when he first started , wasn't asked to lead the Patriots . He just did what he did and eventually he did better . So you know I'm not comparing Bo Nix to Tom Brady , but you know I'm saying that Bo Nix , you know he had his first couple of games , was shaky . Then after that , man he was , I think he made the , didn't he make the pro bowl ?
Speaker 5I think he probably as like a third alternate or something you know . Don't , nobody care about the promo . I mean .
Speaker 7You got to think about this too , though . With the Broncos Bo Nix , this was his . That was his first year starting right , he was a rookie last year . He was a rookie . Now he's about to be a sophomore . Everybody's seen tape . We know how the sophomore year is . It's shaky right . And he's a sophomore quarterback and don't got no running back . He does not have a running back . They drafted one .
Speaker 5They drafted a guy who's supposed to be good , right .
Speaker 3Yeah , they drafted .
Speaker 5They should have a decent run game .
Speaker 3They drafted RJ Hampton .
Speaker 5Harvey .
Speaker 3Harvey , yeah , harvey , yeah , but you know , Harvey , harvey , yeah , harvey .
Speaker 7Yeah , but you know , you know , I just I don't know . I don't think they're going to be bad , it'll be good to see . I just I don't think they could be Better than the Chiefs and the Broncos . I mean and the Chargers , sorry .
Speaker 3I wouldn't be surprised if anybody wins but the Raiders . So you know it's , you know it's going to be a good battle all year . I think you know . But don't sleep on the Broncos is all I'm telling you guys . No , no , don't sleep , all right . So I think I said I'd do the rest . But I got Broncos and I got Chiefs and I got Chargers and Raiders . So you know , I think three of those teams are going to make the playoffs , just because in the AFC only a division winners are going to make it . I think the East , you know the Bills are going to be there . Everybody else is a toss-up . The only caveat would be the AFC North .
Speaker 5So we'll see how everything boils down on that . You were going to say no , I was looking at yeah , that would probably be the seven . Yeah , Buffalo , three out the west , Baltimore , Cincinnati and Houston .
Speaker 3Yeah , or is that too many ? So no , that's yeah , that would be , too many , so one of those would be- .
Speaker 6Running back again .
Speaker 5So to make the playoffs , buffalo with the East , houston out the South , and then if we said three out the West , that's five , and then Baltimore , cincy , that'd be seven .
Speaker 3Yeah , that'd be seven .
Speaker 5Okay .
Speaker 3So yeah , so , unless something goes horribly wrong , we already know who's going to be in the playoffs in the AFC West .
Speaker 7It's going to be them . Jets is going to surprise y'all Okay .
Speaker 6If the Jets make the playoffs . Man , you got a bottle on me , man .
Speaker 5Already . But look every single year . Last year , if we would have said Washington was going , we'd have 12 wins . We all be broke . You know , what I'm saying .
Speaker 3So every year it's always somebody new , but the Jets don't have Jay Daniels though .
Speaker 5No , they got Fields . I can't believe you said that .
Speaker 3All right man , we're going to move on . Nfc West , NFC West Gavin , that's the Rams man shut up man , seahawks , cardinalsinals and the 49ers proceed .
Speaker 7So this is a little bit of a struggle for me , because I would say San Fran , but man , I think San Fran about to struggle . They didn't gave Purdy the bag . He about to get comfortable . Watch , purdy about to get comfortable . I'm not sure how I feel about the running back . Mccaffrey . Christian McCaffrey yes , I don't know man . I think he might have ran his last great season . Man , I don't know who's picking him first in fantasy this year . I don't know who would dare . I wouldn't . I know Jew like ooh , jew's scared about that .
Speaker 4Maybe in the second round .
Speaker 5If he falls to the second , I'll think about
NFC Division Predictions
Speaker 5it .
Speaker 7I'm going to go . This is kind of going to be a bold prediction for me right here , man I'm going to go with the Cardinals , number one coming out of that division , I'm going to say Cardinals . I'm kind of I don't know which way to go with . For number two , it's either going to be between the Seahawks and San Fran , and then I got the Rams last .
Speaker 5I think all of ours is going to be completely different . For this division , all five of us are going to be completely different .
Speaker 7I got Rams last . Okay , that's me . What was that man ? Go to the partners , all right .
Speaker 4I got a round of fakes going .
Speaker 3All right . So Money , help us out here , help Scoop out , because he's killing me . He's killing me .
Speaker 6So NFC West , All right . So this is a tough one too . So it's either San Fran or the Rams at the top of the division . I'm going to go with the Rams . I think San Fran is going to be second place , followed by Seattle and then Arizona . I think it's going to be a tough division . I think this might be a division in which two teams might make the playoffs out of it for sure , but it's going to be a dogfight . Whoever's going to win that division between San Francisco and the Rams ?
Speaker 3Cool Julia .
Speaker 5Man , I'm going to go with the Rams , even though they're a Matt Stafford sprained ankle away from stinking up the joint . But I'm going to go to Rams . I'm going to go Seattle . I think that the new coach will bring some life to the team and if Donald , if last year , won the fluke for Donald , they might be all right . So I'm going to go Rams , seattle , san Fran and Arizona .
Speaker 3Cool Summer .
Speaker 4I'm going to say the Rams number one . I think San Francisco is going to take a step back . I'm with y'all . I think McCaffrey has had his last great season . Ain't Debo gone too ? Yeah , they lost . So yeah , they falling back . I think two through four is a toss-up between the rest of the teams , but I'll put San Francisco number two and I'll put the Cardinals number three and Seattle number four .
Speaker 3All right , perfect . So I got the Rams number one . They had a good team and I think they got better . Obviously , they added Devontae Adams . He's not the Devontae Adams from three years ago , but he's still Devontae Adams , so just another . I think Devontae Adams is , you know , an upgrade to Cooper Cup . I think the Rams also picked up somebody that was going to help them . I think Rams is going to win this division clearly .
Speaker 3Seahawks I have them next . I'm not 100% on the Sam Darnold train . I'm not 100% on the Sam Darnold train , but I think the team around him is going to benefit him . I think the Seahawks have a pretty good team overall . The Cardinals I have the Cardinals next . They got in the draft . They got Will Johnson , walter Nolan . Who else they got ? They got Burke . I know all those players are good because I play Madden and they were good in Madden , so they're going to definitely help them out .
Speaker 3I think the 49ers are going to be last . You know , I think they're going to be . I think they just lost too many people . They lost people in defense , lost people in offense . Christian McCaffrey's , a year older and injury prone , I think . Brock Purdy I've never been a Brock Purdy guy , but they gave him a bag , so he has to be the guy I just don't think I don't know who they're going to throw the ball to . You know , I don't know who they're going to throw the ball to . Debo is gone . Ayuk is going to be out until . I think he's going to be out for the first three , four months because he tore his ACL like toward the end of the year . I think the tight end Kittles he's , you know , not consistent anymore . I don't know who Brock is . Brock Purdy good enough to carry that team . No , less weapons .
Speaker 7I think all of his weapons have carried him .
Speaker 3Yeah , so that's why I have him last .
Speaker 5I have him last , so that's my , I think their coach is too good for them to finish last , and I don't trust Seattle and Arizona enough to really kind of make that difference .
Speaker 6It's not that I believe a lot in San Francisco , I just don't believe a lot in Seattle .
Speaker 7Can I tell you how I put the Rams last ? Sure , it's a team made out of glass . Everybody on that team is old and injury prone , so and I think I don't think it's going to last them all season . Man , they got Devontae , like you said . I don't think he's going to last Cup season man , they got Devontae , like you said . I don't think he's going to last Cup has been getting hurt .
Speaker 3Cup's not on the team , he's on the Seahawks .
Speaker 7Not Cup . Who's the Puka ? Puka Nakua . Yeah , he get hurt every year too . Yep , puka not Cup . Cup is with Seahawks now , yeah , and then , like Jew was saying , the quarterback man I forget that dude was with Detroit for like years . So , yeah , I don't think he's going to last the whole season , but yeah .
Speaker 6I just want to defend Stafford .
Speaker 7Yeah , Matthew Stafford .
Speaker 6He didn't win a Super Bowl , he did win a Super Bowl .
Speaker 7He did . That's great , but that was what two years ago , three years ago , I just think . They up there , man , I don't know if they Cooper Cupp .
Speaker 5Cooper Cupp won that . That was the Triple Crown season Triple . Crown yeah , yeah .
Speaker 3Yeah , they ain't got that all right , I just want to throw that out there . Appreciate your explanation . Nfc south all right , all right . Nfc South I'm going to start from the bottom . Pause . Saints are going to be the worst team in the NFL , so of course they're going to be last in that division . Seahawks are going to be third , panthers are going to be third , panthers going to be third I'm sorry and the Falcons are going to win the division . I don't know why I feel that way , but the Bucs I got them . You know the Bucs . The Bucs are enigma man . They were talking about . They were having a great season in a lot of people's eyes and they were 10-7 . So I think that I don't know , man , I just don't trust them . I just don't trust them to win the division . I think the Falcons have more weapons . Win the division . I think the Falcons have more weapons . It's all going to depend on Pennix and how well he does , but they got more weapons .
Speaker 7Wasn't your Broncos 10-7 last year ?
Speaker 3Yeah , but the Broncos were 10-7 from like three wins a year before . The Buccaneers were 10-7 . I think they were 11-5 the year before , so something like that . But that's just what I think . I think just the Falcons . What the Falcons drafted in defense was amazing . Their defense is going to be dramatically improved . They're going to be rookies . Obviously , they're going to go through their growing pains , but they added some heat on defense . They got weapons on offense . Bajon Drake , london who pisses me off in fantasy . Pitt played better last year . Will he keep going up ? I don't know . They got weapons . So I'm picking the Falcons to reach their potential and win the division , because they have the talent to do so . So that's my order .
Speaker 5Julian , I have Buccaneers going first only because I don't know how good Penix is . We only saw two games of him , right , a couple games of him . I don't know if he's good , so I can't put them first . Yet Got Bucs , got Falcons , yeah , carolina , and then the Saints . I'm cool with that .
Speaker 3Cool .
Speaker 7Scoot , I'm going to go Bucs first , mine's the same as you . Bucs first , falcons second . I'm interested to see what Pennix is all about , and then you can roll the dice and pick whoever you want with the Carolina and the Saints with me . Both of them jokers . Sorry , sorry so .
Speaker 4All right , brandon , it's osama oh something , thank you been hot , get it right . I think this division is full of single-digit win teams , but I think , uh , the Falcons , I think they'll be number one . I think panic is gone . I'll see enough of him to say that they can win the division with a single digital record . They'll , they'll still with the division . And I got theucs , and then the Panthers , and then the Saints . They just Saints are terrible , saints are terrible .
Speaker 3Yeah , 100% . So now we'll move on to the North . Will the NFC North be the best division in football again ? Yep , so let's start with you , julian . Will the NFC North be the best division in football again ? Yep , so let's start with you , julian .
Speaker 5No , don't start with me , I can't call it . I was looking here , man . You know what ? I think Minnesota's going to be last Because I don't JJ McCarthy . I've never seen him play , except for like a quarter , and it was a preseason , so I don't know if he's good . So , because I don't know if he's good or not , I'm putting Minnesota last . Chicago could be really good and I don't like Chicago . Shout out Beanie . But I don't like Chicago . But they gave him everything a line weapons , a new coach . They could be cold . We know who Detroit got , but they well , it matter , they ain't got the offensive coordinator . Then Green Bay they got more weapons . They got a quarterback .
Speaker 5I can't call it man . So just for the sake of moving on Detroit , green Bay , chicago , minnesota .
Speaker 4And I am not confident at that at all . Okay , okay , osama , I'm the same'm with Julian . If I think the truck is gonna be number one , I think they lost the office coordinator . Still the same players . I think they're gonna pull it out number one in Green Bay , chicago , minnesota .
Speaker 3Scoot .
Speaker 7I think it's going to be one of the most interesting divisions to see . To be honest , I'm gonna make a bold prediction right now . I think Green Bay gonna be on top of the Lions . I think they're gonna be number one in the division . Yeah , one shot . And then I'm gonna go with the Lions Lions , because their defense is still rock solid . That defensive end , I want to say that guy hurt with that bad injury last year . He back , he's going to come back . And then Chicago is always full of talent but seem to disappoint , but it could change right . And then you got Minnesota . So it's going to be interesting . I'm going to go green bay , detroit , chicago , minnesota okay , uh , I'm similar to most of y'all .
Speaker 3um , hold on a second . I'm similar to most of y'all . I got the Lions , packers , bears , vikings , but I won't be surprised if one , two , three or four whoever wins the division , I won't be surprised . That's just how it is . This is going to be a juggernaut . This division A what A juggernaut . A juggernaut . Hey , that's how it is , man , you said a juggernaut I ain't say that Paul's up to that . Sometimes I get Paul's me jerk or not . I ain't saying that sometimes I get calls .
Speaker 3Sometimes I get things wrong . I I'm thinking the the beginning words of la bamba . You know what I'm saying and I know it's not , but that's who I think it is . So that's the way I think it is . So that's just what it is . So Team West have some technical difficulties apparently . So we're going to move on . I will say this back to the Bears .
Speaker 5If Caleb don't do well this year , he might not be it . They gave that man everything . They spent a lot of money on the line . You got receivers running game . You got to do it .
Speaker 3I think it's about personality and play style right , I think .
Speaker 4You got to stop painting his nails .
Speaker 3I think that he wants to be Superman , so he does a lot of the things that he used to do in college and he needs to understand that this is in college . Hopefully , ben Johnson says look , you're not in college , trust the reads and throw the ball . But you know what I'm saying ? When you saw Caleb running around out there and just running around with his head cut off , it's like he got that 15 in him .
Speaker 3He's doing the same thing that Johnny Middell used to do . You know what I'm saying Just run around and let's see what happens . He's not going to be able to do that . You know what I'm saying . He can't do that and hopefully he knows that and will know that . You know , I want to be successful , I think you know . Well , I don't really care . Actually , I'll be honest , I'm trying to be diplomatic , but I don't care what he does . So that is the NFC East .
Speaker 5T-Money got that boost mobile Wi-Fi .
Speaker 3You got that T-Mobile home internet , just got it .
Speaker 5Home internet . Just One of his neighbors ain't got a secure Wi-Fi .
Speaker 3He's trying to log on to this Working on his hotspot . So now , the moment we've been waiting for the NFC .
Speaker 5East .
Speaker 3Were those sound effects free . No , don't be counting . Don't be counting my pockets .
Speaker 7Don't be counting . Count my pockets , but yes , they were .
Speaker 3I wasn't gonna pay . You know , marshall got an app for that . Yeah right , yeah , yeah , after everything . Hey , he's back there , you go . He got the uh .
Speaker 5He got the uh , the comcast all right man , now we gotta go back , you gotta do the which one do we leave off on the north . So before we got to go back , you got to do the which one do we leave off on ?
Speaker 3The North . So before we get to the East money , who you got for the NFC North ?
Speaker 5Well , you got a lady going on . Hello , Turn off your screen . Dude who ? I need to hear you .
Speaker 4Can you hear me Stop piggybacking off your neighbor man , Can you hear ?
Speaker 3it money .
Speaker 7Hold on , y'all he dialing up . Hold on , Hold on , it's dialing up . Steve . Disconnect the fax machine .
Speaker 6Man technology bro . I tell you what bro .
Speaker 4You got to wait for that next CD to come in the mail .
Speaker 6Dude , I'm cranky , definitely I do bro .
Speaker 7Disconnect that LimeWire man . He said LimeWire , A lot of viruses on YouTube .
Speaker 6Yeah yeah yeah , all these viruses on . Youtube , bro .
Speaker 7All right man , you got to repeat it .
Speaker 6Marshall , I missed the he ain't got that yet .
Speaker 5The North man , the North , yeah , the .
Speaker 3North . We're just going back to the North . Okay .
Speaker 6So for the North , let me get the .
Speaker 6I'm going to go give me the Lions on top , followed by the Vikings , the Packers and then the last in that division is going to be Chicago . The division is going to be tight . It's going to be a good division . It's going to be a battle , but I do see Detroit staying on top for one more year and they will win the division this year . Okay , that's going to be a battle , but I do see Detroit staying on top for one more year and they will win the division this year .
Speaker 3Okay , cool , nfc East . Who would like the privilege of starting first ?
Speaker 6Well , I know who's going to be last . Y'all want to win the division we want to Super .
Speaker 4Bowl Gavin . What do you got ? Okay , gavin's up .
Speaker 7All right , I'll be honest , man , I'm super excited to see what my Cowboys do this year , but at the same time I'm hesitant because I don't know what type of you know the coach and everything . I think you know , I think it's a lot of exciting things to see , man , from a fan's perspective . You know I'm going to put them first . You know I'm going to put us winning the whole thing . So I'm not going to rate my people below any of you other bums . I can't believe you said that .
Speaker 7Yeah . So whatever , I think after that it's going to be really fun to see . You know , I enjoyed seeing Washington play last year . Man , I don't know if it was more of a shock to see what was going on or it was just really good football , I don't know . But the Eagles and Washington , seeing them go back and forth with who they play , that's going to be interesting . I'm not going to put Shoot , I'm just going to throw it out there . I'm going to say Eagles is going to be number two just because they stack man , they're still stacked . Washington is going to say Eagles is going to be number two just because they stack man and they're still stacked . Washington's going to be fun . I mean , it's a no-brainer who's going to be last ? I'm sorry , johns .
Speaker 3So you're sticking with the Cowboys winning the division , of course .
Speaker 7Did you expect anything else ? Okay , I expected . Go get a maroon Nike shirt , since you want to match it with that Washington shirt .
Speaker 3I expected Red don't match . I expected . What's the word ? Objectiveness ? Objectivity . There you go .
Speaker 7You should . Yeah , cool , none other than the Cowboys . Come on now .
Speaker 3Julian , who you got .
Speaker 5Well , unlike my constituents over here , gavin , I will use my brain instead of my heart . You got to go Eagles man . They're the defending champions . Stack top to bottom on both sides of the ball . Also , I got Eagles winning division .
Speaker 5I have the Cowboys at number two . Wow , I think the Cowboys are going to be good . You got a great defender at Parsons . You got a great wide receiver . The run game is a little suspect but and I think I think Dak is going to help y'all a lot To me . I know either you hate Dak or you love Dak . I'm in the middle . I think he's a good quarterback , so I think they'll be good enough to get the number two .
Speaker 5I got Washington number three . Washington going to make the playoffs as a wild card , but I feel like we get the number two . I got washington number three . Washington gonna make the playoffs as a wild card , but I feel like we've made definitely some improvements on the offensive line , made some improvements with our receivers . The defense is the question mark . The defense is the question mark so , and I expect jayden daniels Daniels to take a step up . But you never know with that second year how that second year turns out . So I do have three teams coming out of this division making the playoffs . But yeah , eagles , cowboys , washington , followed by the Giants , followed by the Giants .
Speaker 3So on behalf of the men , just fans everywhere Jr .
Speaker 5Hey , I am . Look , I try to be unbiased . Almost wore my commander hat , but you know what it is . I'm trying to just be like you know , be unbiased .
Speaker 3So just FYI , before I get in my I'll do my next . Whatever , there's almost an impossibility that three teams out the NFC East make the playoffs . Oh , because of the North . The North has three teams that definitely can make the playoffs . Possibly Four teams have a chance .
Speaker 5So you're making it Maybe two , maybe two .
Speaker 3Yeah . So , with that being said , you're saying the commanders won't make the playoffs ?
Speaker 5No , I'm saying that a team from the North ain't going to make it . The East and the North is very good . The East is three teams strong . We think the North is three , maybe four teams strong . But I'm not just automatically throwing three teams in the North in there , I got you .
Speaker 3All right , well , I'll go ahead and go next . Let me get my Homerism . And I am saying Homerism , you know , don't want no things going on .
Speaker 5See you're no better than Gavin .
Speaker 3No , you're not . No , I said I'm getting it out the way . I'm not picking them to win the division , but I just had to start off with the homerism . Oh , okay , back into this . So I'm going with the Eagles . I mean , the Eagles have a talented team and they are hiding money from the irs or something because they keep paying people . I don't understand it . Uh , they are , uh , they handle their books better any team I've ever seen in my life . So with the talent they have , it's tough for me to see somebody beat them . If the push goes away , help . But I'm not counting on that .
Speaker 3I do have the commander . Second , because I think the Cowboys would be better . But if this is a quarterback league , I am going to say that Jaden Daniels is better than Dak Prescott . So because of that , I'm going to put the Commanders ahead of them . I personally think Jaden Daniels is a better quarterback than Jalen Hurts , but Jalen Hurts is a winner and the Eagles are on a better team , so I can't use that on there . So when it comes to that , I got the Commanders . Second , cowboys , third They'll be better if Dak stays healthy , but every other year it seems like he gets hurt . So we'll see if he gets healthy Scoop . Talked about Matt Stafford , dak Prescott's the same way , you know he's a hop skip and a jump away from tearing his hip . So we'll see how that goes . And the Giants is going to be battling with the Saints for the rights to draft Arch Manning , so we'll see how that goes .
Speaker 5Money before they won't draft him . They got dart drive him .
Speaker 3They got dark . Whatever Money before the neighbors know you're still on their internet and change their password when you going .
Speaker 6Man , this is tough . So do I go with history of the last 20 years , or do I go with history for the last 20 years , or do I go with ?
Speaker 5history .
Speaker 6Last 20 years no one in this division has repeated as a division champion . It's crazy . The last 20 years Somehow someway , but this year I think it's going to be different . I think Philadelphia does take the division this year . So I have them . First , I have the Giants dead last Dallas and Washington . I have Washington second , I have Dallas third , and here's the reason why , like you said , this is a quarterback league .
Speaker 6I think at this point in time , dak is the third best quarterback in that division and he has the . Probably his defense is not going to be great . His defense was trash last year . So you're asking them to go from a straight trash to being average , to what I think you need . To be able to compete in this division against Philadelphia Washington , you need to have a good defense . I don't think they'll have . Their defense is good enough and I don't think Dak's good enough as a quarterback . It has been proven that he can elevate a lesser team around him . I think they're going to be a better team . They'll be competitive , but I see them falling short and they will end up being third in the division .
Speaker 5Wasn't your starting cornerback out the whole year ?
Speaker 6Talking about Diggs ? He was , but that had nothing to do with their rush defense was dead last their rush defense was trash .
Speaker 6Had nothing to do with their run their rush defense was dead last their rush defense was trash and in the division where you got Saquon Barkley and the Eagles and all that stuff like that , if you can't stop the run , you're done for and sadly , in this situation , I don't think their defense is going to be good enough to be able to ultimately A put them second and also I think that's going to make them not be able to make the playoffs this year .
Speaker 4Okay .
Speaker 6Oh , and hopefully I get my wish , hopefully get my wish that we get a you know , which I don't think is going to happen this year but start the momentum from pushing back out and getting somebody else in , because I'm tired of seeing that at this point . I'm sorry you can call me a DAC hater , I mean , but I mean
Super Bowl Predictions
Speaker 6if it walks like a duck , it quacks like it looks a duck . I mean this dude , he's paid the highest amount of money in the league as far as the quarterback position is concerned , and it is barely maybe 10th on the list of quarterbacks this week . And so I'm sorry you can't pay that man that kind of money and then him not be even the second best quarterback in his own division . I'm sorry .
Speaker 5I don't think that's fair man . He had leverage . Do y'all remember when Joe Flacco was like the highest paid quarterback back in the day .
Speaker 6I agree I'm not knocking him for getting paid . Trust me , get your money . But as an organization you have to see that this dude does not elevate people around him to make the other team better . He's an anchor against you . It's proven time and time again that when he goes against elite quarterbacks , he falters . He's never beaten Mahomes , he's never beaten Josh . He'll never beat Lamar Jackson .
Speaker 5There's a level below at least . There's a level below at least .
Speaker 6I mean there's levels . I agree with that , but his level is not on that level . And he's what 31 about to be this year ? I mean he ain't gonna get better , he's only gonna get worse . And , like I said , he's already slipped to third in the division as far as quarterbacks . So what are we doing here ? We're just spinning our wheel .
Speaker 3Osama , who you got ?
Speaker 4If I'm gonna hold with my heart , I'm gonna be like Cowboys winning the division . But I'm gonna be real . I'm gonna be real . I think the Eagles got it . They got they just way too good top and bottom , on both sides of the ball . And I'm gonna say the commanders I'm not speaking from my heart out of the ball and I'm gonna say the commanders don't be number one . I'm not speaking from my heart . I would say the commanders , the numbers , going to be number two . I think cowboys have a way better season than last year , but be pulling up number three . It might , it might push the commanders for that second spot . But I think commander's got the edge and then shout out to john cowboys I mean his , uh , his giants suck .
Speaker 5So they're gonna be last , like every year out of here that , that that last month of the season , though , with uh , that that division play between everybody , that's going to be crucial , crucial yeah , alright .
Speaker 3Well , we got through the NFC and the AFC real quick . Scoop already alluded to it . Who do you have playing each other in the Super Bowl ? Real quick ? Scoop already alluded to it . Who do you have playing each other in the Super Bowl and who do you have winning ? Real quick ?
Speaker 6Money Real quick ? All right , let me get the , let me get man . I'm going to have a repeat Chiefs Philly Again .
Speaker 3Okay , chiefs , philly Scoot , who you got Cowboys and the .
Speaker 7Ravens , cowboys and the Ravens .
Speaker 5Let's go . He ain't even hesitate . Come on , man .
Speaker 6Listen , if that gets to the Super Bowl , I'll take everything back about what I said to him and I'll get you a bottle for that one .
Speaker 3You don't have to wear a bag .
Speaker 7Two bottles you're going to hold .
Speaker 6Exactly . I'll throw a third one if the Cowboys Julian , who you got .
Speaker 5Let's go Buffalo . And I know you said real quick , let's go Buffalo . Detroit .
Speaker 3Buffalo Detroit and who you got winning Buffalo Buffalo Detroit and who you got winning Buffalo Buffalo Money . Did you say who you got winning ?
Speaker 6I think Philly wins again Okay .
Speaker 5Back to back .
Speaker 3All right .
Speaker 4Osama Chiefs Eagles and I got the Chiefs winning . Okay .
Speaker 3So I am going with the Saints . No , I'm just kidding , I'm going to go with the . I'm going to throw in a curveball here . I'm going to go with the
NBA Finals Forecast
Speaker 3Rams versus the Bills and I have the Bills winning . Curveball , definitely curveball .
Speaker 5I just said the Bills was going to Curveball . Definitely curveball . I just said the Bills was going to win . How's that a curveball ?
Speaker 3I'm talking about the Rams . You're going to be mad about them , rams All right , we've gone through the NFL guys in only an hour and 21 minutes . Nfl guys in only an hour and 21 minutes .
Speaker 7That's the whole dang podcast , good grief .
Speaker 3These other topics are going to be shorter . We're just going to have a little fun . Well , except for the NFL and NBA predictions , we know we got the Knicks and the Pacers and the Timberwolves and the Thunder . So I have the Knicks beating the Pacers 4-2 , and I have the Thunder beating the Wolves 4-1 . And at the end of the day , I think the Knicks run out of gas and the Thunder wins their first NBA championship .
Speaker 7Four games to one Scoop , man , I got to go . I think Edwards is is gonna come out this year , man , and it was a big battle between who was gonna be that dude , between him and an old boy from the Grizzlies what was his name that always got a gun on him . Can't think of a dude's name , man , but when it is yeah , moran there you go .
Speaker 7A lot of hype was around on him at the beginning when they came out , man , but I've always been a big Edwards fan . I always thought he was better . He's proven that . I want to see him do his thing . I think he Oklahoma is strong , oklahoma is strong , but I don't know . I think Edwards is going to pull it off in that Timberwolves team . I'm going for the Pacers . I'm rolling with you against the Knicks and I think it will be the Pacers and Minnesota at the end , and I think they're going to go six games in the finals and Minnesota are going to pull it off .
Speaker 3Man , that's where I'm going Okay , money , who you got ?
Speaker 6So let me get Oklahoma Thunder and they'll win their series in six . I got the Knicks in seven . I got the Knicks in seven . It's going to be a real close series but I think game seven being in Madison Square Garden is going to make the difference and I think they'll pull it off and they'll represent in the finals against the Thunder and I think the Thunder win the finals in six games and they'll win their first championship .
Speaker 3Okay , osama , you get the last word .
Speaker 4I got the Wolves and the Knicks and I think the Wolves and the Knicks and I think the Wolves will win .
Speaker 3Okay , MVP Rudy Gobert .
Speaker 4No , Andy Edwards , that man is a monster man . That's definitely a deciding factor in the OKC Minnesota series to me . I got you that man's a dog .
Speaker 3All right , julie , you got to pace ahead on .
Speaker 5We are all on bated breath , well look when I make predictions I don't use my heart . I'm not a homer like that . So if I was a homer , then I would say Minnesota Pacers . But because I'm using my brain , I'm saying Oklahoma Pacers .
Speaker 5Look let's be honest , man , it's a robbery . I think it's going to be a great series . Marshall kind of touched on it earlier about the Knicks running out of gas in the finals . No , they're going to run out of gas this series . Marshall kind of touched on it earlier about the Knicks running out of gas in the finals . No , they going to run out of gas this series . Pacers , all they do is run , all they do is run . They play 10 guys . It's not . It's very little drop off when the backups come in , knicks play what ? Six guys . You know what I'm saying and you know they're healthy and Brunson's a beast . But you've got to be a deep team to run with the Pacers . Everybody's locked in . So I think Pacers are going to win in six , okc is going to win in whatever , I don't care . And then in the finals it'll be OKC over the Pacers for their first championship .
Speaker 3OKC over the Pacers Got it All right . Well , we got what ? A few weeks . I think the finals start June 7th , something like that . We'll get that going . We've had some sports talk . Now we're going to play a little game Actor switcheroo In this situation
Actor Switcheroo Game
Speaker 3. We're just going to have a little discussion about you know , what actor would you want to see in the role ? It could be a classic movie . It could be a movie that had potential that you think , hey , if so-and-so would have been playing that role , it would have hit . It could have been a movie that was trash and having a different actor would have saved it because it had a good plot . Whatever , your criteria is Money . Let's go with you . Who would you switch up and what movie ?
Speaker 6I was thinking about this earlier today . I always wondered what would happen in the Friday series if Chris Tucker had stayed on . Would that series have fallen off like it did ? I just think that him being continuing that role would have boosted that franchise to legendary status , and I think that's the biggest what if for me .
Speaker 3So you think Mike Epps kind of brought the value down a little bit .
Speaker 6Oh , he ted to the floor almost . That's harsh . I'm sorry that's harsh , it ain't close . Mike Elf was funny man he was man , but he wasn't like Chris Tucker man . Chris Tucker made the first one .
Speaker 7Yeah , do you think Rush Hour Chris Tucker would have been just as good as the first Friday , chris Tucker , if he had continued Rush Hour , chris Tucker , not that crazy smoking weed .
Speaker 6See , that's not rush hour , chris Tucker . I needed him to be Friday Chris Tucker , so he changed his role up . He tried to change his image up for a rush hour , which , okay , that's fine . You're an actor , you can't typecast yourself into one role . But if he's going to do that , then no . But if he was going to stay what he was originally , yes , cool .
Speaker 3All right , One vote for Chris Tucker and Friday Scoop who you got .
Speaker 7So I've always thought about this man and I don't want to take Denzel's Oscar out of this , okay , and I Would want him to keep it , and I probably would feel opposite If it had happened Differently but I would want to see the first bad boys , will Smith , in training day , in Denzel's role .
Speaker 3Will Smith in training day .
Speaker 7Yeah , the first bad boy is Will Smith , my bad the second , the second Bad boy is two .
Speaker 3That Will .
Speaker 7Smith in training day playing Denzel's role .
Speaker 3What do you think he would have brought differently to the role ?
Speaker 7I think it would have been . I think it would have been some you know , not necessarily , I don't know I guess I would want to see a little more fun and action in that particular role . You know , not necessarily , and that's what I'm saying . And that's what I'm saying . If it was opposite , I would have loved to see Denzel in that role , but I will want to see Will Smith's hard role you know his hard acting in that particular role . So , just what he could have done with it .
Speaker 3So just your curiosity kind of Got you yeah . Okay , not taking nothing away from Denzel .
Speaker 7but yeah , that's what I want to see .
Speaker 3Cool , all right , asamba , who you got ?
Speaker 4I'm going to do kind of like T-Money did instead of switch a rule like like a running back . So I'm a big Marvel fan and I think that Tony Stark's sidekick , iron Man's sidekick , should have stayed with Terrence Howard . Nothing against Don Cheadle , but a dude . I just think Terrence Howard had Nothing against Don Cheadle , but a dude . I just think Terrence Howard had that roll down man . They should have paid that man .
Speaker 6Yeah , that's a good one , I agree .
Speaker 5Julian , I would have liked to have seen Al Pacino in the role of Malcolm X . I really think he would have liked to have seen Al Pacino in the role of Malcolm .
Speaker 1X . I really think he would have brought a different vibe .
Speaker 5I think he would have brought a different vibe to I think I'll put him in blackface . A much different vibe . We the land I'm Pimma's rock .
Speaker 5But no , but there was a , um , there was a . I don't know if y'all have seen uh , django , um , but initially will smith was approached for the role of django . Instead of uh , instead of uh , um , jamie , jamie , yeah , so I , I , you know , we always look at Will Smith , maybe a type of way or a type of actor , but it would be interesting to see him his take on that role , so okay that's that one that would be interesting .
Speaker 3So what's funny is , three of us chose Will Smith . Because I chose Will Smith ? I chose Al Pacino no , you didn't , no , you didn't . So I , will Smith , tells this story all the time of one thing that he was approached with and turned down , which was the Matrix . So I would have liked him seeing , because Keanu Reeves sucks . He's not a good actor , he's a terrible actor .
Speaker 5He's terrible . You can't be an actor for 40 years and suck . Yes , you can . He just isn't a dramatic actor like so many other ones I would have liked to have seen what he would have brought to it .
Speaker 3It would have been a stoic . Would that have changed the whole dynamic of it ? I think that it would have been . You know , obviously Will Smith has been in roles in which he was just stoic , like when he was in After Earth , but I think that he has the range to have made . I think he would have as popular as Matrix was . I think he would have the ability to make it even bigger . I just think he has way more range than Keanu Reeves . That wouldn't be nice . Obviously he was earning his acting career , so we don't know . With Will Smith that we've seen do many different things , I think he would have made that Matrix franchise , which is already great , even better .
Speaker 6So from your answers , you think Will Smith's one of the best actors of all time answers .
Speaker 3You think Will Smith's one of the best actors of all time ? Yeah , I've already said in one of my earlier podcasts that I think Will Smith is a better actor than Disney in Washington . I got hated on quite a bit . I do think Will Smith is a great actor . He's up there with the Tom Hanks's . I like actors with range . You know what I'm saying . That just isn't just typecast . We know that Leon's going to be Leon in every movie . We know that Andy Sam you know what I'm talking about ? Who what's the name ? Uh , happy gilmore . Um , adam sam is going to be adam sam in every movie . Um , he's good the way he does . But when actors can do ranges , I'm a fan of that . I'm not saying Denzel can't , I just say Will Smith is better and has more range . That's what I think . That's it . That's it for Actor Switcheroo .
Speaker 3Now we have a couple more questions , just for personal thought . Told you so
"I Told You So" Moments
Speaker 3. This is the segment in which you've said something , either on this show or you've said it privately , that nobody knows about . Whatever you thought it of something that you knew was going to happen and it happened , or that you were feeling , yeah , this ain't going to last and he ain't going to last , and it fell through , so Scoop what's your ? I told you so moment .
Speaker 7I got a lot of those man , especially with you , especially with you , marshall , but an I told you so moment would have to be that Julian would have to be that . You know , julian , he , it's been a while now . Five , six , seven , eight , nine , 10 years ago , you know , there was this group that was formed called Golden Era , and I told you that I was a better rapper than you . It's proven true . It's proven true over and over again . Hey , wolf , I told you so .
Speaker 3You made Julian leave . That was a social moment . There you go , money , money . I told you so , wolf God .
Speaker 6Man . All right , what have I told ? I said that the Cowboys will not win , nfc , will not make it back to the conference championship as long as Dak Prescott is the quarterback , and that's continued to be true and I will stand on that until he retires .
Speaker 3Yeah , you are true in that , very true . Oh God , julie , julie , I told you it's a moment .
Speaker 5I mean I'm right so much it's hard to decipher which one I want to pick . But I said that the Chiefs was going to go to three Super Bowls . I said that a while back and it came to fruition . I said it to myself , I didn't say it out loud or to anybody . I just said to myself that Chiefs will go to three Super Bowls and win two .
Speaker 3Okay , yeah , I think you're a liar , osama , I told you so .
Speaker 4I've been saying Angel Reese was trash . Everybody's seeing him now .
Speaker 3What you play lacrosse ? Huh , what you play lacrosse , tug of war .
Speaker 4What's up with the WNBA ?
Speaker 3Nobody watches that . We don't mention that on my podcast .
Speaker 4I told you that too , but everybody , I've just been getting in arguments about the WNBA with people and I'm glad they got a league that they can play in . They're an awesome good girl that plays and , uh , I'm glad they got a league that they can play with . So they challenge .
Speaker 4There are some good girls that play , but as a whole the league is not entertaining to me and people hyping up angel reece and trying to make some rivalry between her and caitlyn clark that's not even close . Like . Angel reese is sam bowie of the wnba , angel Reese is Sam Bowie of the WNBA .
Speaker 5She ain't that bad .
Speaker 4She ain't that bad , nah , she trashed .
Speaker 6So you say you wouldn't go to a Wings game , even if you got the tickets for free ?
Speaker 4I might pull up , but you ain't gonna see Paige . Becker , I don't think I'm gonna go .
Speaker 4I like pay . I just think it's too much . There's too much effort to try to elevate angel reese and she's not that good man . I ain't go . It might saying she trashed and that might be harsh , but she's not as good as people try to make her out to be like led the league and rebounded because she get her own missus on layups my uh , my podcast is very internationally watched so you may get some is very internationally watched , so you may get some Angel Reese fans coming at you , so just FYI .
Speaker 4Send the Reese Rioters my way .
Speaker 3Alright , my I told you so moment . Why Julian gets whatever he's heating up in the microwave is . I've been standing for 10 years on this mountain , maybe longer , maybe 15 years , doc Rivers , ain't it ? Doc Rivers has been a terrible coach . He won a championship because he had the best . He had the first big three , so he was fortunate to have a championship .
Speaker 5I was about to say what are you talking ? About .
Speaker 3That wasn't the first big three which other one was a big three before this .
Speaker 5Magic Kareem .
Speaker 3I'm talking about bird mccale and paris . Those are drafted .
Speaker 4I'm talking about big three , manufactured big three manufactured big three .
Speaker 3He had the first one and he was able to win a championship and he's gotten loads and loads of cachet since then . But he ain't it . I don't know . He's had more 3-1 losses than he has conference finals appearances . He ain't it . He's never going to be it . Then he has conference finals appearances . He ain't it . He's never going to be it . And I'm off my Doc Rivers tote box . I've made my point . Doc Rivers , it's time for you to coach the WNBA , so Osama cannot watch you play .
Speaker 5Are you basing that off of last year ? I'm basing it off his whole career .
Speaker 3I'm basing that off of last year . I'm basing it off his whole career . I've been talking about this forever
Bold Takes and Final Thoughts
Speaker 3. You know it . I've been talking about this forever . You know he goes to these great teams with talent , so you have to win multiple championships to be considered a good coach . You have to go to more than one finals to get that cachet that he has of being the best coach of all time .
Speaker 6No one puts him in that level .
Speaker 3I was about to say who does that .
Speaker 4Nobody ever did that .
Speaker 5Marshall man . What are you doing , man ? Ain't nobody ever done that ?
Speaker 3First of all , derek .
Speaker 4I hope you doing man Ain't nobody there First of all .
Speaker 3First of all , Derek , I hope you watched this . Derek been praising Doc Rivers for years . I think John has been praising Doc Rivers for years , he ain't it ?
Speaker 6He ain't it by saying crazy , they put him up there on the Mount Rushmore of head coaches . I don't think that .
Speaker 3Do you think he's a Hall of Fame coach ? No , you see how you thought about it . There's a lot of people who think about it , but I'll tell you unequivocally he's not . Unequivocally , it's not .
Speaker 5Unequivocally , it's the NBA . Everybody gets in the Hall of Fame .
Speaker 3Not Doc Rivers , Not Don Rivers . All right , Told you so For every told you so moment . We've all been humbled at one point in time , except Julian . Julian Humility is not his in his wheelhouse , but I've talked a few times .
Speaker 5I thought can I go first ? I thought that I thought that I thought Cassie was going to be a huge R&B star and I was wrong . What was your ? I take it back .
Speaker 3There you go , you got your . Was that your take it back ? Was that your take it back ?
Speaker 5I take it back .
Speaker 6Yeah , she was a star in her role .
Speaker 7Y'all messed up .
Speaker 5Shout out to Little Eating on the podcast . What ?
Speaker 3is that Pasta Noodles ? Alright , let's go with you . Scoop , you , take it back . What is it that you were wrong about ?
Speaker 7Nothing .
Speaker 3Besides the Cowboys , it's all right Every year .
Speaker 7All right . No , I'm going to take back that Theron was going to win a , that I was going to win a championship in Matthias' league before Theron , but I take it back .
Speaker 5You are the one . You are the one .
Speaker 7Now I'm solo on the bottom , so I take that back .
Speaker 3Pause .
Speaker 5And I didn't , bro , I tried to say , by the way , not to make this explicit , but being on the bottom ain't whatever . It ain't necessarily a but whatever .
Speaker 6I agree .
Speaker 5Yeah .
Speaker 7Marshall got all right . I ain't gonna say that I don't know who watching this .
Speaker 3I'm gonna stop Go ahead , no problem , scoop , he could be a bottom , it's all good . Osama man , I don't take back nothing . Go ahead , no problem , scoop he could be a bottom , it's all good .
Speaker 4Osama man . I don't take back nothing . Maybe next podcast I'll take back that Angel Reese is not that good , you standing huh you just standing on that .
Speaker 3Standing on business .
Speaker 4Yeah , maybe she'll change my mind .
Speaker 6Money . I take back that sign you just did . No , I ain't taking that back . I don't take too much stuff back . I don't take too much stuff back . I take back that I was wrong about certain editions of Jordans . I take back the fact that I thought they were good , like the Jordan 28 , jordan 19 . I thought they were going to be fire . I take all that back . They're ugly , so my bad .
Speaker 3You take it back that you thought Joy was good . You should take that back , oh .
Speaker 6I ain't never taking that back . I will never disgrace number 23 , the greatest player of all time , and so that will never be taken back .
Speaker 5Goat Real quick . I half read an article . Is he coming back as a commentator ? He coming ?
Speaker 6Yeah , nbc , yeah , nbc , yeah , NBC . He's going to come back and do a ?
Speaker 5What kind of bag could they throw him ?
Speaker 3Well , I guess it's still in his roof , I guess .
Speaker 6Plus , he's probably bored because his eyes are getting yellower and yellower by the year . He's like I need to do something different .
Speaker 4They said it was either him , magic or Isaiah . They couldn't stand the way Magic and Isaiah talk . He's going to be doing games .
Speaker 5Or he's going to be doing games or he's going to be like in the studio .
Speaker 4I think he's going to be doing games . Oh , wow , okay , I don't know how that's going to go . Yeah , he ain't the most eloquent person either .
Speaker 6NBC needed to boost something for their ratings , to get something to draw eyes to them .
Speaker 3Michael Jordan . All right , my , I take it back moment . 20 years ago , there was a rap group that I hated . I couldn't stand them . Wow , I thought they were trash . No , bro , no , they had 150 members . Was it Wu-Tang ? And his name was Wu-Tang , and as I got older and went back and re-listened to him , they were pretty good . So little brother .
Speaker 4Ghostface just admitted recently he used to just say some gibberish and it didn't mean nothing , but people would eat it up and try to decipher what he meant .
Speaker 3So Little Brother still sucks , but Wu-Tang yeah , I can rock with Wu-Tang .
Speaker 5There was a bar that Ghostface said he said supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and he said that word backwards . There was a bar that Ghostface said he said supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and he said that word backwards . I said , yeah , ghostface is saying whatever man . This man said supercalifragilisticexpialidocious .
Speaker 3All right , we'll go wrap this up with how we end just about every show . Yeah , I said it . This is your opportunity to say something bold , outlandish , something that's maybe not a popular opinion . Yeah , I said it , scoop , and please don't say anything about the Cowboys .
Speaker 7It's not going to be about the Cowboys , but it will be about the San Antonio Spurs . When Banyama comes back next year , Spurs are going to be a top contender in the West .
Speaker 5Man , that ain't no hot take .
Speaker 7I mean that ain't going out on the ledge . So you agree that's not controversial . That's not far-fetched man , I mean we didn't make the playoff this year .
Speaker 6Did Houston make the playoffs last year ? No , they were the number two seed .
Speaker 7Well , maybe I want my yeah , I said it to actually be something .
Speaker 5That actually happened . So yeah , I said it to actually be something that actually happened , so yeah .
Speaker 7I said it .
Speaker 3All right , julian . Yeah , I said it .
Speaker 5Jayden Dayles will win MVP next year or this season , jayden .
Speaker 3Okay , it's out there . It's out there .
Speaker 4Didn't you pick him to be what Jayden McDaniels ? I was like what Didn't you pick them to be like third division ?
Speaker 3He picked them to be third division , maybe not fifth division .
Speaker 5I think that they will absolutely make the playoffs as a wild card , but you can still be MVP and not be number one . No , no , no . The first is to be the first .
Speaker 2The commanders are the best team in the world . The commanders are .
Speaker 3Alright Money .
Speaker 6I think , I think in the end . I think as much as a villain as he is now to the Mavericks nation . I think Nico Harrison will be vindicated in the end regards to his decision to trade Luca Huh expound .
Speaker 5How so Huh ? Expounding Also , just because Cooper Flagg is going to be great .
Speaker 4They might not even keep Cooper Flagg .
Speaker 6They ain't got him yet Pretty much . He ain't trading him , I think .
Speaker 4Don't put nothing past Niko . You see what Niko just did . Don't put nothing past Nico just did he traded Luca . He traded Luca .
Speaker 6Which .
Speaker 4I don't .
Speaker 6Knock him , I don't knock him . Trade Luca , I just don't think he got enough Back in the deal . But but for him to be able to Somehow fall Fortunately into getting a Cooper flag , I think in regards To that they're they're a better basketball team now than they were ever prior with Luka .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's it though that's definitely a bold statement , I think , just because , yes , he traded Luka and didn't get enough back for him . That's one . He traded Grimes , who turned out to be amazing for the 76ers . There's a lot of things he did . If he gets forgiven by the Mavs fans , I think it's going to be by default , just because Cooper Flagg is going to save his life , save his career .
Speaker 5Not just that , though , luka's still playing . As long as Luka is in the league and putting up triple doubles almost on a nightly basis , it's going to be a constant reminder to Mavs fans that he should be wearing a Mavs jersey . As great as I think Cooper Flagg is going to end up being , luka is still going to be playing at the same time as that constant reminder . It'd be different if Luka had retired . Now he has the picture . Now he can just focus on Flagg . But no , you still got your boy out West . That's going to remind you he should be with us . That's why I think I don't think they may . I don't know if forgive is the right word , but they may . Just let him make it . We will let you make it , but I don't think they're going to forgive him .
Speaker 4They forgive him if the Mavericks win a championship before Luka .
Speaker 6And I think they have a better team and I think they have a better chance of doing that .
Speaker 3Before getting flagged , I wouldn't have said that , but after getting flagged I think that now yeah , I think the Mavs definitely have a better team than the Lakers , so I don't think there's any question about that . But you know it's . Luca was the heart of the Mavericks . You know what I'm saying and you know it didn't help Mavs fans seeing Luka cry when they did the video . Because you know the Mavericks before they got Kyrie , as good as they've been and consistent for a long time , they would never get free agents , ever . And I think Kyrie was traded , so they still really haven't got free agency . You got a player who loved the team and didn't want to leave the team , wanted to play forever . You know that's .
Speaker 6you know Texas deals with a lot of loyalty , so I agree , I totally agree , but I mean it's keeping a buck . I mean the dude wasn't in shape .
Speaker 3He wasn't in shape , but you got to think about it . He's 25 . Joker wasn't in shape for the first eight years of his career . I don't think he's in shape now . What are we talking about ? But he got better shape . If he got better shape , he started winning MVPs .
Speaker 6But you don't have to be as much in shape if you're a center , if you're playing a guard .
Speaker 3I think it just depends on your play style . I think Luka's play style . He was slow and methodical .
Speaker 4When Luka first came in the league he wasn't slow . Luka was punching all folks . He was dunking . Luka probably had three dunks all last season .
Speaker 3No , he had some more dunks . He was dunking donuts , he was dunking cakes .
Speaker 4I love Luka , but I'm kind of with T-Money on that . He was consistently showing up out of shape and even though he did show up out of shape , he's still putting up triple doubles and stuff . I think what he would have did if he was in shape , that's what I'm saying . He ran out of gas in the finals .
Speaker 6He ran out of gas in the finals and then in the playoffs .
Speaker 3it kind of seemed like . Wasn't he hurt in the finals ?
Speaker 5Yeah , he was hurt in the finals . I mean you can't call that running out of gas if you hurt .
Speaker 4Probably hurt because he out of shape man do take a toll on your body , man , especially if your body ain't used to taking all that weight .
Speaker 6And then he came into the season out of shape , which he got hurt from the get-go in training camp . Then he got hurt again on Christmas Day and then after the trade we looked at in the first round of the playoffs against Minnesota , they picked on that dude constantly .
Speaker 5So the one thing he kept getting hurt was his calves . Right , his calf was getting hurt , yeah , calf . How are you supposed to get in shape if your calves is hurt ?
Speaker 6Well , if you lose weight , it'll be easier on your calves , that's basically what's lifting you up All that weight when you do them step backs every single time ? You got to lift all that 260 pounds on them calves , yeah All right , brandon .
Speaker 3Yeah , I said it .
Speaker 4I forgot , I ain't went yet . Let me see , maybe I'm going to make you mad , smitty . Isaiah Thomas is not a top five point guard in the NBA history . No , that's not mine , I just want to make you mad . I mean , well , marshall thinks he should be on Mount Rushmore . Yeah , let's not go down that hill . Let's not go down that hill .
Speaker 5Yeah , he opened up a door on that one Magic Steph .
Speaker 4I'm going to say it's still probably going to make you mad , marshall . I'm going to say Jordan still wins six rings without Scottie Pippen . Plug somebody else in there , plug somebody else in there . Still six championships . Cocaine is a powerful drug . Cocaine is a powerful drug . I said it . Yeah , I mean that's a powerful drug . I said it .
Speaker 3Yeah , I mean , that's a bold statement , it's a murder Again .
Speaker 5Maybe Marcus Jordan , maybe plug him in . No , no , no , you know what I'm talking about . He plugged in on Pippen's ass .
Speaker 4There ain't got to be a Hall of Famer , another quality player , and they still win six .
Speaker 3That's hard to imagine . That's the case , not really . You know . They almost traded Scottie .
Speaker 4Pippen for Sean Kemp . Do you know that Sean Kemp came to that team ?
Speaker 5He'd have had some last three rings for the last four I saw an ig clip just today that the bulls were about to trade pippen for t-mac yeah , they're about to do that as a rookie , as a rookie and rookie t-back .
Speaker 4You think he wouldn't Come on Anyway ?
Speaker 3Yeah , we're going to let that dog die . Hey goat talk don't need to be debated . Yeah , I said it , and this is probably going to make three people here mad the Las Vegas Raiders will win more games than the Dallas Cowboys this year .
Speaker 4Wow , play that crack thing , Play that yeah , wow . Yeah . Okay , man .
Speaker 6Yeah , okay , I don't know what you're talking about .
Speaker 3I think they are an improved team . Unfortunately , they're just the worst team and the best One of the top two divisions in the NFL . I think they're going to win a lot of games .
Speaker 5I don't what's ? A lot of games .
Speaker 6What's the wins ? The number of wins they're going to get .
Speaker 3Here's the deal . I'm not as high . I think the Cowboys will be better . I don't think they're going to get . Here's the deal . I'm not as high . I think the Cowboys will be better . I don't think they're going to be much better . I think the Cowboys may win nine games and I think the Raiders will win ten . Hold on a second .
Speaker 4The Raiders are going to win ten games . The Raiders are going to win ten games .
Speaker 5You got the Raiders as the worst team in that division and they're going to win 10 games .
Speaker 4Yes .
Speaker 7Wow , marshall , play that cocaine thing , play it for us .
Speaker 3It's definitely possible . You only got six games against the division . You know what I'm saying . And the Raiders always play the Broncos tough . The Raiders always play the Broncos tough . The Raiders always play the Chiefs tough . It's not like a foregone conclusion . They're going to get swept by everybody in the division . Geno Smith is an improvement from the quarterback they had last year . Jt's going to help . Their defense has been pretty good . The Raiders aren't . Y'all act like . The Raiders are in the class .
Speaker 5They got a cold tight end yeah .
Speaker 3No , you act like the Raiders are in the class of the Saints and the Giants . They're not .
Speaker 5Yeah , but your math ain't math enough . I don't think a last place team can have ten wins .
Speaker 6Okay , I'm looking at their schedule right now . I don't had 10 wins . Okay , I'm looking at their schedule right now . I don't see 10 wins .
Speaker 3So last year you had three teams that won 10 games in the NFC North right , and then the other team , the Bears . Obviously wasn't good .
Speaker 7I don't know , man , especially what you're saying . The Broncos are going to be the best and they're going to be the best , and then the Chiefs and the Chargers . You still got , you know but then the Raiders are going to win 10 games .
Speaker 3That don't . But here's the thing Y'all are acting like . Each team in the division has to win more games than the other one to be ahead of them in the standings . The second and third place team can have the same record and there's still going to be a one and a two . You know what I'm saying ?
Speaker 5I'm not saying , but again you said that they're going to be last one and a two . You know what ?
Speaker 7I'm saying , I'm not saying , but but again you said that they're going to be last .
Speaker 6Yes , and so that's about the other team . That's what our thing is . But you have four teams in the division and you don't say all team 10 . All four teams are going to at least win 10 games yes , and then the same division , yeah , division .
Speaker 7Yeah . What we can say right now is yeah , I said it . It's going to be wrong , marshall . Yeah .
Speaker 3Yeah , I said it and I stand on it . Ten toes , just me , yeah . Just real quick too , ronnie .
Speaker 5What is the rate of schedule ? Just real quick , because I know they got the NFC East right .
Speaker 6Yeah , the NFC East , yeah . So they got the Patriots , week one Chargers , week two Washington , week three , loss . Then they got Chicago , which is a win , indianapolis win , tennessee win , which is a win , indianapolis win , tennessee win . Then they got the Chiefs , the Jags , then Denver , dallas , then Cleveland , then the Chargers again , then Denver , then Philly , then Houston then New York and then they have the end of the season with the Chiefs .
Speaker 4I see maybe seven wins for the Raiders , six or or seven . I don't know what you're talking about .
Speaker 3Yeah , I see the Raiders are going to win four games in the Cowboys bam true Washington team . That's what I see alright , so appreciate all you guys joining us for this entertaining conversation . Except Scoop , your text was on the weird side . Of course he's still my homie .
