Transcript
00:00All right, again, special Monday edition of the Big Boy Tuesday.
00:03It's a Big Boy Monday with Greg, hour 20 minutes in.
00:07We do 10 questions around the league, and so we're doing it here.
00:1110 questions, 10 minutes.
00:12We have to stay on time.
00:13Jimmy, what are our buzzer options?
00:14So these first two options come to us from the Steel and Naz podcast on YouTube,
00:19which Greg is now familiar with.
00:21Steel and Naz?
00:22Steel and Naz podcast.
00:24Huh?
00:25Yeah, it's these Patriots fans.
00:28Go ahead.
00:28Is it a pleasure to go on Felger and Naz when, you know, you get your Big Boy Tuesday there?
00:33Are you kind of sick of their s***?
00:35It's a great question.
00:41Don't just go off our reports and just because it's easy, like, you know, come down and watch and check it out.
00:47Get your own judgments rant.
00:50Good God.
00:50Why don't you come down here?
00:52Go ahead.
00:52There's like three minutes of that on this podcast, which I suggest you listen to.
00:57Brady.
00:57Brady.
00:58Brady.
00:58Brady.
00:59Brady.
01:00Brady.
01:00Brady.
01:01Brady.
01:01Brady.
01:01Brady.
01:01Brady.
01:02Brady.
01:03Brady.
01:03Brady.
01:03Brady.
01:04That's Jim Murray's quarterback conversation.
01:07Go ahead.
01:08So it's one of two things.
01:09He was caught cheating or he got someone thrown out at home or he didn't send someone home when he obviously should have gone home.
01:15In this case, it's what's behind door number C.
01:18That was well said, yeah.
01:25Analytics love his D.
01:28They measure everything.
01:29Go ahead.
01:29Last one.
01:31Here we go.
01:32We're going to play.
01:32Oh, no.
01:34Hey, when it's gone.
01:35What are you doing?
01:37What are you doing?
01:38What are you doing?
01:40There was a game last week when they wouldn't send the runner from third.
01:43Yeah, remember it well.
01:44Hit it.
01:44Number 10.
01:45Analytics love his D.
01:47All right.
01:47We've been discussing expansion and realignment in MLB.
01:51NBA for years has been talking about expansion.
01:53If the NFL expands, give me your top three cities that should get a new team.
01:59St. Louis.
02:01They need a team.
02:03It's been a good NFL market.
02:04San Diego.
02:05I want a team back there.
02:07I just need to get a stadium.
02:08And Salt Lake City.
02:10I think it's big enough and I think they'd really support it.
02:15Toronto.
02:16London.
02:17Columbus.
02:18I do not want more teams in the NFL.
02:20I'm not playing along with this question.
02:22We should be relegating and God forbid they start to put teams in lesser stupid countries.
02:26No normal person wants a team in London or anywhere in Europe.
02:30F off.
02:31Less teams, not more.
02:32So you're under protest.
02:35You're sitting out with this question.
02:35Yeah, I hate this question.
02:36Well, I agree with Murray because there's not enough offensive tackles to go around for 32 teams.
02:41I know.
02:41We're just shooting the breeze here.
02:44Calm down.
02:44Don't get your panties in a bunch.
02:45You all calm down.
02:46My God, you can't have fun with a little question.
02:49London's the answer.
02:50Go.
02:51Is it a pleasure to go on Felger and Maz when, you know, you get your big boy Tuesday there?
02:55Are you kind of sick of their?
02:56It's a great question.
02:58If you prefer relocation as opposed to expansion, give me two teams that should move and where should they go?
03:07I mean, I'll sort of play along.
03:09Jacksonville to London and I don't know who the other team would be.
03:15Panthers somewhere.
03:17I don't know.
03:17Toronto.
03:18Arizona to Toronto.
03:19Get Arizona out of there.
03:21That place is a rat hole for crying out loud.
03:23And yes, Jacksonville to London or take your pick.
03:26That's a good one, though.
03:26Arizona to Toronto.
03:28Yeah.
03:28That is good.
03:28I like that.
03:29Get rid of Arizona.
03:29Get rid of Arizona.
03:30We're taking the Jaguars and we're putting them in Oklahoma City and we're taking the Panthers and putting them in a cooler city down there and putting them in Charleston because Charlotte blows.
03:39Interesting.
03:39Everyone likes Charleston.
03:41I do.
03:41Right?
03:41Yeah.
03:42Absolutely.
03:42I consider Charleston for one of my expansion cities.
03:45Beats the crap.
03:45I don't know how big it is.
03:46It's not big.
03:47Beats the crap out of Charlotte.
03:48That's for sure.
03:49Next.
03:50B-B-B-Brady.
03:51B-Brady.
03:52I'll leave it.
03:52Brady.
03:53Brady.
03:54Brady.
03:54Brady.
03:55Brady.
03:55Brady.
03:55Brady.
03:55Brady.
03:55Brady.
03:56Brady.
03:56Brady.
03:57Brady.
03:59Number eight.
04:00If you had to give an existing market a second team, what would be the city?
04:06Who should get it?
04:07So my official answer is Chicago.
04:09They can handle two teams, but I kind of want to say Boston, and I want a team in downtown
04:17Boston just to see the crap lose their crap.
04:21Would piss them off.
04:22Oh, my God.
04:23I've always wanted National League Baseball here.
04:25I would have loved to see the Braves make it and us have an alternative to the Red Sox
04:30when we get sick of their crap.
04:33We can root for the scrappy little National League team.
04:35I would love.
04:37I've always wanted a National League team here.
04:38Go.
04:38I also went Chicago.
04:41That's the easy one, but if you force me to pick another one, I'll say Fort Worth.
04:45I was.
04:46Go ahead, Murray.
04:47Yeah, I was going to say Dallas.
04:48Yeah.
04:48If you really want to put the screws to an owner, never mind putting another one here.
04:51Put one near Dallas.
04:53You got to think where football's big enough.
04:55Absolutely.
04:56You know, a football city.
04:58So where are those places?
05:00The South.
05:01But there's no metro area that really you couldn't do that in Atlanta because they don't care about
05:05anything, but Texas, Dallas, give Dallas a second team.
05:10Give those people an alternative to the Cowboys who got them by the short ones.
05:15Right.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Chicago.
05:17It's big enough, but it's not exactly football country.
05:21You know what I mean?
05:22Dallas.
05:23So I say Fort Worth just to create the Dallas Fort Worth thing.
05:27Like, you know.
05:27Yeah, same def.
05:27Right.
05:28Absolutely.
05:28It's the same market.
05:29Next.
05:31Here we go.
05:32We got to play.
05:32Oh, no.
05:34Hey, when it's gone.
05:35What are you doing?
05:37What are you doing?
05:38What are you doing?
05:40So right.
05:41The Vikings bolstered their quarterback depth over the weekend by.
05:44You missed one.
05:45Seven.
05:48This is seven.
05:49No, it isn't.
05:50What former team that relocated folded?
05:52Oh, I got.
05:53Okay.
05:54My fault.
05:54My fault.
05:55I transpose it on mine.
05:56Nevermind.
05:56Number seven.
05:57What former team that relocated folded or whatever most deserves to return to its original
06:04city with its original team name and uniforms and who should get their team back?
06:11I don't know if they deserve it because I don't like the Spanish ownership, but the
06:16Chargers should be in San Diego.
06:19Wasn't there a rule like when the Ravens left Cleveland, like they couldn't, you know, bring
06:23it like, why did the Chargers get to take it to LA?
06:25Why didn't they have to start over?
06:27Anyways.
06:28So it's working where it is now, but I would say the Raiders, like the Raiders and Oakland
06:34to me is just perfect.
06:36That's where they belong.
06:37They need a real stadium, like all that stuff there.
06:40But I would love the Raiders in Oakland.
06:42The Bay area can support two teams.
06:44The Chargers should go back to San Diego.
06:46Greg's right.
06:46No one cares about that team in LA and they never will.
06:48You look at those home games, they're road games.
06:51Oh, like the road fans are take like 85% of the stadium up.
06:54No one's going to care about the Chargers in LA.
06:56Boston Redskins.
06:58Oh, good one.
06:58You know, like, but that, I know that's just a fantasy.
07:02Most, I think most people our age would defer to the Colts in Baltimore.
07:05Yeah, that crossed my mind.
07:07Like that team just fit there that belong there or like the old Cleveland Browns.
07:11I know there's still the Browns, but it's like, you know what I mean?
07:14Sure.
07:15But yeah, Boston Redskins next.
07:19Analytics love his D.
07:20Okay.
07:21Again.
07:21Now here's number six.
07:22Then the Vikings bolstered their quarterback depth over the weekend by trading or picking
07:26up Carson Wentz, whether rather, who would you rather have Carson Wentz or Josh Dobbs?
07:33Dobbs.
07:34I'm not taking Carson Wentz.
07:35He's an idiot.
07:36No.
07:36I also say Dobbs incredibly.
07:39I just can't stand Wentz anymore.
07:41I loved him when he came into the league.
07:43I can't stand him now.
07:44Dobbs.
07:45Because he's not an entitled a-hole, which is what Wentz turned into, especially when
07:48he went to the Colts.
07:49Zero leadership school, a skills, reckless player.
07:51I'm going with Dobbs.
07:52Bonus question.
07:53I think Vrabel hinted last week that they're picking up a third quarterback.
07:56Or they'll have a third quarterback adjacent, even though they cut the Woolridge kid.
08:01Woolridge or Bailey Zappi?
08:02Who just got released today by Kansas City.
08:06Give me the fever.
08:09Probably Zappi.
08:10Woldridge.
08:12I don't want that little twerp.
08:13I'm done with him.
08:15Woldridge.
08:16Zappi.
08:17I'm on cloud nine.
08:18Next.
08:20So it's one of two things.
08:21He was caught cheating, or he got someone thrown out at home, or he didn't send someone
08:26home when he obviously should have gone home.
08:27In this case, it's what's behind door number C.
08:34Toolbag question.
08:34Who will be the biggest toolbag in the AFC East this year?
08:37This was a good question.
08:39Okay.
08:40Tyreek Hill.
08:41I just think it's contract drama.
08:44We've seen him be arrested before.
08:46Like, who knows what the hell Tyreek Hill is going to do this year.
08:49Okay.
08:49So I think I know who Murray's going to pick.
08:51So I'm going to go.
08:53I have two other names on my list.
08:55I'm going to go with Garrett Wilson of the Jets.
08:58They have no quarterback, and he is going to be, he's not going to get, they have no
09:03passing quarterback.
09:04He's not going to get the ball, and he's going to be a pain in the ass.
09:08I guarantee it.
09:09Mike Rabel.
09:10Mike.
09:11I was going to bring up his name.
09:13Like, I think he's, I think he's on the board.
09:15I'm going to intimidate the media.
09:17Like, this whole thing, it's already wearing a little bit thin, and it's going to get,
09:21you know, pretty old quick if they suck, which I think they might.
09:23So I think it might be Rabel.
09:25Next.
09:28Here we go.
09:30We're going to play.
09:31Oh, no.
09:32Hey, when it's gone.
09:33What are you doing?
09:35What are you doing?
09:37What are you doing?
09:39Number four.
09:40What's the most entertaining division in football?
09:43AFC, AFC West.
09:45Could also be the best, but, you know, answer that question.
09:47AFC West.
09:48I mean, of course, you have Mahomes.
09:49You have Harbaugh.
09:51You have Peyton.
09:52The Broncos are on the upswing.
09:53You got Pete Carroll in Vegas.
09:55Like, that is going to be fun to watch.
09:57I had that since Greg named it.
09:59I'll go NFC East.
10:01I think the NFC East is awesome.
10:03Philly, Dallas.
10:05Now you got Jaden Daniels in there.
10:07Like, it's a good, good division.
10:09No shame in saying the same answer.
10:11It's AFC West.
10:11Three double-digit win teams.
10:13KC, Chargers, Denver.
10:14Raiders should be better under Pete Carroll.
10:16What's the West?
10:16Harbaugh.
10:17NFC North.
10:19Detroit's a fun watch.
10:20Caleb Williams with the new coach.
10:22Green Bay's always good.
10:24That's a good division.
10:25Next.
10:26Don't just go off our reports just because it's easy.
10:29Like, you know, come down and watch.
10:31Yeah, check it out.
10:32Make your own judgments.
10:34You come down here.
10:36NFC North.
10:37I left out the best team in the division, Minnesota.
10:40Like, that's a top-to-bottom good division.
10:42It is a good division.
10:43What's the least entertaining division in football?
10:46I bet you this is unanimous.
10:47Go ahead.
10:48AFC South.
10:49It's always the AFC South.
10:51Like, I don't care about any of those teams.
10:53Even if they're good, I don't care about them.
10:55AFC South in a runaway, not even close.
10:57The AFC South is the trailer park of the NFL.
11:00No one cares about it.
11:02No one cares about that team.
11:03I knew it.
11:03It's so easy.
11:04Those teams.
11:04No one cares if you're the division winner.
11:06Big whoop if you win it.
11:07No one cares.
11:07That division blows.
11:09It blows.
11:10The division winner is always in the first.
11:12Yeah, Saturday afternoon.
11:13Wild card, yeah.
11:15Nobody's watching.
11:16The NFC South is way better, and that's not a good division.
11:19Useless.
11:21Next.
11:22But Brady.
11:24Brady.
11:24Brady.
11:25Brady.
11:26Brady.
11:26Brady.
11:27Brady.
11:27Brady.
11:27Brady.
11:28Brady.
11:28Brady.
11:28Brady.
11:29Brady.
11:29Brady.
11:30What is your favorite form of football gambling slash gaming?
11:35Okay, like this is fantasy football.
11:38Do you do prop bets?
11:39Just weekly sort of betting on teams against a spread.
11:44You do money lines, halftime spreads, suicide pools, squares.
11:50I know Super Bowl squares, you do them for regular season games.
11:53Weekly cards, pick the whole slate, et cetera.
11:55Anything I've missed?
11:56If you bet player props, what's your go-to?
11:59What's your single favorite thing with football to game slash gamble on?
12:05So what I like to do is some sort of multi-team parlay because I view it as sort of like a lottery ticket, sort of like an informed a little bit lottery ticket because you're watching these teams.
12:18And so I could do like eight teams and do it between spread and also some money line and things like that.
12:25So that's what I like to do.
12:26I like to get that in and then at the end of the day, see how I did.
12:29Weekly game by game, which is a variation of that too.
12:32Like I just like looking at the slate, picking out the best games and then either parlay, bet them individually, whatever.
12:39I love doing that every single week to me.
12:41That's the art of the NFL gambling.
12:43Long shot touchdown scorer parlays.
12:46And I know they're a terrible bet, but I don't care.
12:48Because if you hit one, so here's the one I hit last year.
12:52This was like my, this was the best.
12:55Last Monday night game of the year last year, it's the Lions and Niners figure it's going to be a scoring fest.
13:01On a hunch, Ricky Pearsall first touchdown score.
13:04And it happens.
13:05Now it's time to ride the lightning.
13:06When you get that first taste, it's like, here we go.
13:09And it's what a rollercoaster ride.
13:11Can you inform us what you bet to win what?
13:1310 bucks.
13:14And then I needed to win what?
13:16To win 1,200.
13:17I need a Jamison Williamson.
13:20Boom.
13:20Second touchdown score.
13:21Sam Laporte.
13:22He gets one.
13:23Debo Samuel.
13:24He gets one.
13:25All I need is I'm on Ross St.
13:26Brown.
13:26I'm like, ooh, do I take the cash out?
13:28What do I do here?
13:29He finally gets one.
13:30And you get that.
13:31Oh, it's the best.
13:32Now, odds are they're not going to hit.
13:33But when you get one, that's hot.
13:37So yeah, long shot touchdown scorer parlays.
13:40What did you just put in for week one, Murray?
13:42I put in already, if you want to follow this, people are going to get mad.
13:45I don't care.
13:46Because I think they're going to stink this year.
13:47Raiders money line, because it's a plus 135 on DraftKings.
13:51Raiders money line.
13:52Brock Bowers, two touchdowns.
13:54Two touchdowns.
13:55And Raiders defense, anytime touchdown score.
13:57Wow.
13:58Tend to win like 1,200.
13:59You're betting on Drake May being a turnover machine again.
14:02Yeah.
14:02I mean, that's a good bet on Bowers.
14:05Like, they can't cover tight ends.
14:06Who's covering tight ends?
14:08The quarterback might be a hammerhead.
14:10And I think they're going to get off to a slow start.
14:12Like Greg said, 0-5 to start the season.
14:15Here we go.
14:15Last one.
14:19Ding.
14:21Here we go.
14:21We're going to play.
14:22Oh, no.
14:23Hey, when it's gone, what are you doing?
14:27What are you doing?
14:28What are you doing?
14:29Forget Dave O'Brien and Lou and those guys.
14:33That's a much better play-by-play.
14:35What are you most looking forward to this year in football?
14:38Aaron Rodgers ending his career in a blaze of glory, burning down one of the proudest franchises in the NFL.
14:45I can't wait.
14:46For the first time in 20 years, Mike Tomlin and the Steelers don't have a winner.
14:49Yes.
14:50So, I want to know, like, who's the breakout player or the breakout team?
14:55The surprise.
14:56Because I'm having a hard time this year figuring out, usually I go into a season and I say, watch out for this team, watch out for this guy.
15:05And I don't know if there is one this year.
15:07The Eagles just won.
15:08Like, the Chiefs, to me, could kind of be, I don't know, I feel like they're not coming apart, but I think they're going to take a step back.
15:15So, who's going to be that other team that comes out of the woodwork?
15:19I don't know.
15:20I really don't know.
15:21It's the thing I look forward to each and every year.
15:24Hating.
15:25Hating the refs.
15:25Hating the Chiefs.
15:26Hating Travis Kelsey.
15:27Hating quarterbacks you guys fall in love with.
15:29Hating Aaron Rodgers.
15:30Hating the Bengals for not surrounding their offense with a better defense.
15:34You know, with Joe Burrow, who I think is like Brady 2.0.
15:38Hating the product as a whole.
15:39Hating myself for my bad bets.
15:41Hating.
15:41Hating is what brings me joy.
15:43That's what makes me happy about the NFL being back.
15:44Coming in here, being pissed on a Monday.
15:47Joe Milton lighting it up for the Dallas Cowboys.
15:48Oh, good one.
15:50Your calls, I promise, right after this.
15:52Tnam agent.
15:53We'll see you next on Monday.
15:54If you said капle, we're doing사
