00:00All right, 10 questions with the big fella and the rest of the gang here.
00:04Play along.
00:05Sponsorships are available out there, Boston.
00:06You want to sponsor this juggernaut of a segment that we've been doing now for, well, hell, 16 years, right?
00:14Started with Wiggy, our love boat captain.
00:17Look it up.
00:18And Greg's been doing it since.
00:2010 questions, 10 minutes.
00:21We've got to be on time.
00:22Go ahead, Jimmy.
00:22What do we got?
00:23Are you still feeling pretty good about this playoff situation, bud?
00:26Bud.
00:30If you look at that ass, the thighs, you've got pumping power down there.
00:33Who are we talking about there?
00:34That was Josh Allen, I believe I was talking about there.
00:36Very good.
00:37Paul Skeens, maybe?
00:37Yeah, him too.
00:39That's not just bottom of your division.
00:41That's bottom of the league.
00:43In harmony.
00:45Is Christian Gonzalez going to be ready?
00:47He'll be fine.
00:48Are you sure?
00:48I'm not.
00:49Tell us what you know, Bert.
00:50I think he'll be fine.
00:51Tell him what you think he'll be fine.
00:52What do you know?
00:53You got to yell, Bert, to get anything out of him.
00:55Because he's got it.
00:57Do you grab him?
00:57He's got to shake him.
00:58He's got to shake it loose.
01:00Next.
01:00Last one.
01:02Cam Neely and Glenn Close.
01:04Yeah.
01:04Oh, yeah.
01:06What was that?
01:08Celebrity couples.
01:10That was one.
01:10In tears.
01:11Massive tears with celebrity couples.
01:13And we forgot.
01:13Were they together?
01:14You don't remember Cam?
01:15No.
01:15You don't remember that?
01:16No.
01:17Oh, yeah.
01:19They called him out.
01:21She was hosting Saturday Night Live.
01:23And he was in the crowd.
01:24And they called him out.
01:25Wow.
01:25Yeah.
01:26All right.
01:26Anyway, go ahead.
01:27Cam Neely and Glenn Close.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Oh, yeah.
01:32Very excited by that one.
01:33All right.
01:34Who won the Micah Parsons trade?
01:35Packers.
01:36Easily.
01:36And they get one of the best defensive players in the game.
01:39All they had to give up was a 30-year-old defensive tackle.
01:42And I love Kenny Clark.
01:44And two late-round, first-round picks.
01:48Yeah.
01:48The Packers.
01:49And mostly because Dallas, like, waited so long.
01:52They didn't get any help, really, for this year.
01:54They could have done it earlier and gotten two first-round picks or at least another first-round pick this year.
02:00It's just a debacle.
02:02So, from the Dallas side, that's your takeaway?
02:04They just botched it?
02:05Yeah.
02:06Completely botched it.
02:07Green Bay won the trade.
02:08But ask me again if he doesn't play Sunday because of his back issue.
02:12I don't want him playing.
02:14Yeah.
02:14They should ease in.
02:15He didn't really practice all summer.
02:16But the Packers won.
02:17It's a team that is seemingly close to a championship.
02:19They lacked an elite pass rusher.
02:21Packers won this deal.
02:22Cowboys won the trade.
02:22Cowboys, he's not worth what they gave him.
02:25I don't think so.
02:26And I don't think he'll be worth what they gave him.
02:28I'm not upset they did it.
02:29It'll be fun to watch.
02:30And they're going for it.
02:31So, when you go for it, by definition, you make trades that you would say on the value chart you probably lose.
02:37But you're trying to win.
02:38So, you'll lose a trade to get better and get a better position.
02:40I'm not, you know, bagging on him for doing it.
02:43But I don't think he's going to be worth what they gave up.
02:45Next.
02:46If you look at that ass, the thighs, you've got pumping power down there.
02:49Number nine.
02:50Did Arch Manning's performance on Saturday say more about him?
02:52Or dare we say it?
02:54About OSU defensive coordinator Matt Patricia.
02:57I can't believe I'm going to say this.
02:59But I am going to say Matt Patricia.
03:01Because just the way he was able to coach up his guys to give pre-snap, post-snap looks.
03:07That seemed to really confuse Arch Manning.
03:09I mean, really the answer to this is Steve Sarkeesian.
03:12Because I didn't think he had a good game plan.
03:14Didn't prepare Arch.
03:15But I'm going to go with Patricia.
03:16So I think the real answer is the Ohio State defense.
03:19But since Patricia is part of that, my answer is Patricia.
03:22Arch Manning.
03:23Did you watch, though?
03:24His mechanics are terrible.
03:25He throws the ball like Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.
03:28Seriously, it comes out like sideways.
03:31So I'd have concerns about Arch Manning.
03:34Absolutely.
03:35Number eight.
03:36That's not just bottom of your division.
03:38That's bottom of the league.
03:40Number eight, my NFL Sunday ticket package, plus Red Zone, is $420 a year.
03:46$420.
03:47I think that's because I'm a YouTube subscriber, so it might even be less.
03:50I think the general public has to pay $480, if I'm not mistaken.
03:54But don't quote me on that.
03:56And this is in addition to the $83 a month I pay for YouTube TV.
04:00Is it worth it?
04:02I don't think so.
04:03I don't know how you view games on Sundays.
04:06I know when I'm home in the rare Sunday that I'm not working, I just do the Red Zone thing.
04:13Plus, if there's a game that I want to, I just find it on one of the free streaming sites.
04:17So I just do the Red Zone thing through my cable and then augment.
04:21For people like you, yes, 100%.
04:23And when I say people like you, I mean, no, not only that, but you have an out-of-market team that is your team.
04:30Very much.
04:31So if I were from Baltimore and I wanted to watch the Ravens every week, this is the only way to do it.
04:35So my answer is yes.
04:36No, you could go to a bar.
04:38You don't have to pay $500.
04:39Who wants to do that?
04:40Yeah, who wants to be around people?
04:42People like to have a good time.
04:43Four months of programming for $500 is not worth it.
04:45No shot.
04:46I'm not doing that.
04:46What a gouge.
04:48I keep telling you.
04:49The government has to step in here eventually.
04:52They've got to step in on all the sports streaming and all the stuff.
04:54I'm not even making that.
04:56I'm not exaggerating.
04:57I think it's time for a congressional hearing on sports and streaming and the streaming services and the subscription cost and the complexity of it and the difficulty of getting it and the cost of it and how they're just continuing to fragment it and digitally penetrate consumers on a weekly, daily basis, yearly basis.
05:16The government's got to look at it.
05:17Basically $25 a week, right?
05:19That's worth it.
05:20I didn't do the math.
05:21I didn't do it.
05:22Of course you did the math.
05:24Let me do it.
05:25It doubled from last year.
05:26It was $2.40 last year.
05:27You're kidding.
05:28It doubled.
05:28Oh, that's robbery.
05:29It doubled.
05:30Or went way up.
05:32It was like $2-something or maybe $3-something.
05:34I think it might have doubled.
05:36$23 a week.
05:38Next.
05:40Is Christian Gonzalez going to be ready?
05:42He'll be fine.
05:43Are you sure?
05:44I'm not.
05:44Tell us what you know, Bert.
05:46I think he'll be fine.
05:46Tell him what you think he'll be fine.
05:47What do you know?
05:49Fill in the blank.
05:51It will be bad news if blank.
05:53He missed one.
05:54He missed one.
05:55Number seven.
05:56Thoughts on the NFL allowing Tom Brady back into production meetings for the upcoming season?
06:01At first, I was going to say I don't really care.
06:03But now, thinking more about it, I don't like it.
06:06I don't like how Brady can take whatever intel he gets, especially if the Raiders are going to play that.
06:13And then he can go back to Pete Carroll and be like, this is what these guys said.
06:16I don't like it.
06:17It shouldn't be allowed.
06:18Is there anything they won't let Brady do?
06:21Like, can Brady just do whatever he wants?
06:24Should they just make him commissioner or rename the league or what?
06:27Because it feels to me like whatever Brady wants, Brady gets.
06:30The rules shouldn't change just for him.
06:32But you know why I think they're doing it?
06:33Because he's such a stiff in the booth.
06:35I think they're like, you know what?
06:36Fine.
06:36Fine, do this because you're too wooden and you have nothing to talk about.
06:40So, you know what?
06:40Do these production meetings again.
06:42Yeah, I'd be annoyed if I were a team.
06:45A part owner?
06:46Definitely.
06:47Gets to sit on these off-the-record meetings?
06:48No way.
06:49No way.
06:49I wouldn't allow it.
06:51Next.
06:52Cam Neely and Glenn Close.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Oh, yeah!
06:58Fill in the blank.
06:59It will be bad news if blank is the Patriots reception leader this season.
07:04Travion Henderson.
07:05Because it means that he is on the field a lot.
07:08They're trailing.
07:09They need to come back.
07:10And he's basically in the James White role where, you know, in 23 or whatever, he has
07:15like 14 receptions.
07:17Mack Hollins.
07:18If Mack Hollins is their best receiver, they are.
07:20It's pork city right there.
07:22Well, I said if so-and-so leads in receptions, but go ahead.
07:25Hunter Henry.
07:26Yes.
07:26Because it means their wide receivers blow again.
07:28My answer, too.
07:29I'd say even DeMario Douglas would be a bad result.
07:33I'm surprised no one said Efton Chisholm.
07:36No, at least they would have found a wide receiver.
07:38Good.
07:39But that's along the same lines.
07:40Next.
07:42Are you still feeling pretty good about this playoff situation, bud?
07:47I like that guy.
07:49Toolbag question.
07:50Back to Micah Parsons.
07:53You know, he's going to wear number one for the Packers, becoming the first Packer player
07:58to do so since, do you know who, Big Jim?
08:00Carly Lambeau.
08:01Curly.
08:03Curly Lambeau.
08:05Who played in the 20s.
08:07Okay?
08:07Over 100 years ago.
08:09The number, obviously, not officially retired.
08:12This is all because receiver Jalen Reed wears 11, which is what Parsons wears.
08:16Okay?
08:17So, is Parsons a tool bag for wearing number one?
08:20Is Reed a tool bag for not giving Parsons number 11?
08:23Is there a tool bag in this situation?
08:26So, should anybody wear it?
08:29No.
08:30They shouldn't.
08:31In turn, I mean...
08:32Parsons is the tool bag.
08:33Don't wear number one.
08:34What are you doing?
08:35Well, yes.
08:36But Jalen Reed needs to give up the uniform for Micah Parsons.
08:39He's always been 11, back to Penn State.
08:42It's his number.
08:42Jalen Reed hasn't done anything.
08:44They just gave him like 140 million.
08:46Like, give up the uniform number.
08:47So, Jalen Reed's a tool bag.
08:49Yes.
08:50I lean Parsons first, but I think this is a case of buy one, get one free.
08:55I think they're both tools.
08:57Seriously, you buy one tool bag, you get a second one for free.
09:00Don't wear Curly Lambeau's number.
09:01Yeah.
09:01No.
09:02Parsons is the tool.
09:02Don't do this.
09:03Have some respect for it.
09:04Seriously.
09:05And really, the league is the biggest tool because I hate that they've allowed defensive players
09:09to wear numbers they shouldn't be wearing.
09:11Number one isn't a defensive player's number.
09:13Stop that.
09:14Next.
09:15Jalen Polk's number.
09:17That's not just bottom of your division.
09:19That's bottom of the league.
09:21Give me your league MVP.
09:23So, I am going with odds.
09:25I'm going Jalen Hurts, DraftKings, plus 1,800 just because if he stays healthy, like,
09:31I don't think he's the best player in the league or anything, but in terms of what he
09:34does, rushing, the touchdowns, like, all that stuff, you put it together, I think the
09:38Eagles are going to be a wagon again.
09:40I think he's going to be there.
09:42Josh Allen.
09:43I know he won it last year, but Josh Allen's the best player in the league right now.
09:46Even better than Mahomes right now.
09:48If, you know, you take him out of Buffalo, I'm not sure what they are.
09:52Joe Burrow.
09:53Joe Burrow is going to lead the Bengals back to the playoffs and to the conference championship
09:56team.
09:57Next.
09:57That game.
09:57Next.
09:59If you look at that ass, the thighs, you've got pumping power down there.
10:01Give me a dark horse team, Greg.
10:04I kind of like the Giants.
10:06I think they'll go to dart eventually.
10:10Obviously, I have Malik Neighbors.
10:12I think their pass rush is going to be incredible with the guys that they have.
10:15Adding Abdul Carter to that.
10:16Their defensive line is really good.
10:19I think the Giants are going to surprise some people.
10:21So, I don't know if this counts as a dark horse, but the Rams.
10:24The Rams have a good roster.
10:25If they keep the quarterback healthy.
10:27They were coming on at the end of last year.
10:29Like, I think the Rams could be really good.
10:32Raiders.
10:32I mentioned it last week.
10:33I think they're going to squeak in as the last playoff team in the AFC.
10:35Better coaching.
10:36Better quarterback.
10:37A little bit of Brady influence.
10:38Best tight end of the game.
10:39Raiders.
10:40Next.
10:42Cam Neely and Glenn Close.
10:44Yeah.
10:44Oh, yeah.
10:46What team is taking the biggest fall?
10:48Lions.
10:48They lost too much as far as coaching and talent.
10:53I just don't.
10:54And plus, the vision is going to be improved, I would say.
10:58I mean, yeah.
10:59The Packers.
11:00The Vikings.
11:00A lot of people think they're going to fall.
11:02I don't think they will.
11:03I think they'll be pretty good.
11:04And also, the Bears, I think, are going to be a lot better.
11:07Miami.
11:08I think Miami's going to nosedive.
11:10I think Miami could go like 4-13.
11:13I think that's a bad team.
11:14It's waiting to come apart.
11:16I had Lions, but if the Raiders are going to be better, someone in that division ostensibly
11:20has to be a little bit worse.
11:21And I think the Chargers are going to dip a little bit this year.
11:23Next.
11:24Is Christian Gonzalez going to be ready?
11:26He'll be fine.
11:27Are you sure?
11:27I'm not.
11:28Tell us what you know, Bert.
11:30I think he'll be fine.
11:30Tell us what you think he'll be fine.
11:31What do you know?
11:32Number one.
11:33What's your number one storyline in the league this year?
11:35Whether the Bills can get over the hump and back to the Super Bowl and possibly win one.
11:41The come down of the Kansas City Chiefs.
11:44I think Kansas City's going to decline this year.
11:46And when I say decline, I'm not telling you they're going to go, you know, 6-11.
11:49But it wouldn't surprise me to see them go 10-7.
11:55Thank you for setting me up, Mass.
11:56People getting sucked into the demise of the Kansas City Chiefs.
11:59They're going to be a little bit worse.
12:00They might win that division with 10 games, with 10 wins or something like that.
12:04They're probably still going back to the Super Bowl.
12:06I'm not getting sucked into that.
12:07We've seen this story before with Brady and the Patriots.
12:10It's over.
12:10Is it?
12:11It's not.
12:11It's over.
12:11It's over.
12:11It's over.
12:12It's over.
12:12It's over.
12:13It's over.
12:14It's over.
12:15It's over.
12:16It's over.
12:17It's over.
12:18It's over.
12:19It's over.
