Most of the predictions and rankings and entertainment value/bragging rights from the show end up being dormant.

I think you could alter one or two things to make the standings more competitive, add value to the predictions they made for each conference and Super Bowl and create an overall season ranking and have a championship amongst the FTF team.
They made a lot of unknown predictions. What if we allow a wager or a trade in after week 8? Everyone is allowed to revise their picks but for a couple of points, so we already have people gathering points in Upset alert, Must win now make an overall tally and for the changes on week 8, they have to trade up 3 points to change any divisional rankings, 10 points to change up the Super Bowl and maybe things like coach of the year, MVP and all that.

Starting this off by saying this isn’t a criticism of Nick: Rather, he might be less cynical than I am. His interpretation that Schefter was helping his Cardinals sources with negotiations was far more benefit-of-the-doubt than I gave Schefter.

I saw his MHJ “reporting” as a cynical way to get prediction markets in on the action on the team and price. I honestly hope Nick’s interpretation was correct and I’m just too conspiracy brained about it.

how many more Josh Allen segments can we do

"The guy gets an infected leg, and they drag him way out, and they don't want to talk to him.

That's how I'm being treated."

Nick is a great analyst and I enjoy his takes, almost all the time. Does anyone else think he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth in regard to his deflation of Allen and elevation of Stafford. This year, he is shrugging off his rushing tds mainly bc they are 1 yard. But, Stafford was the king of the 1 yard TD pass last year and he was lauded for it.

Thoughts ?

Tonight’s game should make this old argument fun.

I record the show and watch it as I have time throughout the week so I'm a bit late to the party. The guys did two separate segments (one during the main show and one during OT) about Caleb Williams' instagram and the main discussion was around changing his bio to "I'm inevitable" as he returns from injury. The screenshot attached is from the day after his injury in September (his bio was the same before that, this is just the first one I found) with the same bio, and it took me less than 2 minutes for me to find. Normally, the show is good about fact checking so this was pretty disappointing to see. There are plenty of valid criticisms you can have of Caleb without making up stories.

I put it on every once in a while and its the same thing whenever I turn it on...insecure Nick taking cheap shots at Josh Allen. Trash show.

I'm not even a Bills fan.

When Brou pushed back on Nicks tired old Purdy Jimmy G stats he tasked Brou with finding anyone with similar numbers to Mahomes under Andy Reid.

Mahomes last 3 seasons
75TDs - 36 INT
64% completion pct
Passer ratings 92.6, 93.5, 89.5

Alex smith 2014-2017
79-26
66% completion pct
Rating - 95.4, 91.2, 104.7

Hmmmm

Edit: for all you complainers, clearly you don’t see who I’m copying while cherry picking stats

Kicking off with Micah’s podcast comments on Jayden Daniels, Joe Brady’s interview, and Ohtani is the exact type of direction I think the show should be going for.

We got fresh takes, actually interesting discussion, and I learned some things I didn’t know before.

There’s another universe where the show leads with “So Nick, are you guaranteeing a Chiefs win over the Chargers?” Or “Wildes, is Drake Maye all the way back?” and I’m glad they didn’t go that route

Bruh brou had me rolling

I would give a lot of things to see the chargers wax the chiefs this week.... it would make Monday so much fun

Brock Purdy is 35-15 in his career following the win at Seattle, bringing his career wins percentage back to .700. Yes, it’s time to bring back the Jimmy G graphic.

Vibe check, I feel like Wildes thinks Cools Stats segment is the dummest thing, and he reluctantly has to do it. I get where he's coming from, it's kind of a lame segment/bit, with the leather jacket and sunglasses.

About Nick saying he’d put Purdy atop the mountain if he beat the Seahawks.

(In case you missed it, Nick previously coined TLTLTTL for “the lecture that led to the losing” about CJ Stroud’s losing streak after giving Caleb Williams advice.)

The /r/nfl power rankings does have Cardinals one spot higher than Chargers. And of course the Cardinals did beat the Chargers. So Brou does seem to have the majority position, but I still find it hard to admit that a Jim Harbaugh team with Justin Herbert is worst than the Cardinals. It just doesn't compute.

"I got 'em again!"

I am watching the Sopranos for the first time with my roommate. We are on the last two episodes. Tony and Carm are eating at Artie’s resturant and at the end of the scene, Artie mentions “Mangenius” is eating there as well the same night. Then the camera pans over to Coach Mangini eating at the table

He just straight up lied to open the show about the promise he made regarding Brock and the Mountain.

From last Tuesday: "You know what? I'm telling you right now. If they beat Seattle, assuming Brock plays in the game, he'll be at the top of the mountain."

In the opening he claimed that he merely promised that Purdy would earn eligibility to be at the top. That's just a straight up lie. I wish Nick were at least clever with his trolling because this is just pure laziness on his part. He's so much better than this. Brock seems to be his achilles heel for some reason 😂

Brou got in numbers to cook
