00:00morning nick what's going on guys great to be on with you for another season did um
00:04did courtney and curtis get married this offseason because that's how my conversations go with my
00:09wife why are you why are you yelling why are you talking to me like that why are you speaking to
00:16me so slowly like i'm a moron it's time for these boys to be put in their place i mean that's i
00:19mean literally you guys are like a married that was a married couple argument well costo costo
00:24you don't know this but courtney and i did a week together with jackson behind the board and
00:29i'm sure i'm sure it was well produced that show it was like a shotgun wedding and so yeah maybe
00:35there was some animus that we dealt with trauma together but so do you guys well so do you because
00:39i gotta be honest there's no way courtney likes you curtis i love curtis no you don't we both went to
00:47bc okay okay went to college to get the same college there's no way you like different times
00:52go ahead i think you should just say it like it makes for good call cares i i hate a lot of people
00:58who do you hate the most nick who do i hate the most it isn't really like it rotates on a regular
01:04basis like whoever's whoever my everyone that works on my crew oh what a big swing of d with
01:10other people all of them i mean so jake hassan runs the board he screws up tyler morales is our
01:17tech director he screws up mike browner video producer is on vacation this week week one of
01:21football he's on my bleep list oh why are you allowing vacations week one of football i gotta tell
01:26you man i just i signed my new contract i'm feeling highfalutin and then i don't have control
01:29over the schedule imagine that you gotta take control of the ship over there i do my best a
01:34big raise nick well i you know it depends on the definition of the word big is i'm not unhappy
01:39okay i like it when people get to start companies in a little bit of financial peril i don't know why
01:44you're accepting a big raise what what do i care about what anyone else does get that bag
01:50are we really playing the altruism game here like get over yourselves stop it
01:55greg actually is he pays to be here he was even hometown hometown discount i i i would never do that
02:01yeah you and boomer take less yeah okay well yeah you take less in like a kawaii leonard situation
02:07better work out though jalen brunson oh brunson they definitely they definitely circumvented the
02:16cap that's the question they did that's the biggest scam going but the thing is i think
02:20also by the way how do you think that the patriots finagled this with brady for everyone knows that
02:24and who cares also this is all like it's like professional snitching also all of this i i can't
02:30say that i like it brady did need some trees chopped down around his crib around that yeah like
02:36brady was obviously getting paid like under the and like i don't care at all i'm sure it happens
02:41everywhere who cares huh wow do you not think that happened with brady 100 percent i mean oh it
02:48definitely happened they haven't confirmed it no i don't think it i don't think it did no it happens
02:52with every athlete no we would hurt we would have heard it we would have heard if it happened what we
02:57would have heard it stop it so why do we hear about kawaii leonard and potentially jalen bretson
03:01but everybody else because people started to go for you people were like you're being paid 28 million
03:07dollars to endorse a tree company do you have any trees like they were wondering what was going on
03:12but like i mean come on and i'm not trying to like make i don't care i i don't know that it happens
03:16but like everyone's been saying it for brady took less money every single year like something had to
03:21be up like what i don't know money elsewhere but with these people uh and i'm not even saying i don't
03:30care at all that it happens he took listen he took less money because that's who he was it was the wrong
03:35thing to do because ultimately it allowed bill to be like to lowball players and do the things that
03:42bill did financially because he's like well if brady's taking less well julian you got to take less
03:48but then randomly down the road he wanted to just all of a sudden take more well i think he got i
03:52think he got tired one day he woke up and said actually no i think he got tired of like the bs
03:58that he had to deal with with bill for taking less and he and he got you guys you guys hate him huh
04:03like just new england in general hates belichick no no no no we love just curtis we love bill and tom
04:09i think tom so wait just can i can i ask a question yeah sure does curtis hate belichick more
04:15or does courtney hate curtis more i don't hate curtis it's just curtis will now for the rest of
04:21like the well i mean the show's almost over but next week i'm sure he'll be like well that's not
04:24confirmed like he's gonna do this you don't like him why he's gonna do this whole thing but the issue
04:29is i've always been a bill apologist so sometimes i give devil's advocate when when curtis is going
04:34there's not much to apologize for you want a million super bowls like what what what apology does
04:38there need to be oh he looks good i think north carolina looks good what does it have to do with
04:42like what happened with the patriots though we can go we can relitigate this costos if you want but
04:46i mean yeah he's the he he's great like right the the art saying otherwise is insane yep he's great
04:52yeah i think we all you're right no you're right he sucks
04:54you nailed it one of the great frauds in american sports history but we can do a podcast on that
05:00i don't think curtis thinks he sucks though what about hassan you think you think he sucks curtis
05:07no i didn't say he sucks oh okay i just don't think that we the conversation is bill and tom
05:13we know bill without tom we know tom without bill and one of them was focused solely on yeah tom's
05:22bad yeah top tom you would take tom if you had to pick one but that doesn't mean that belichick's
05:26not also great of course not the greatest decision in the history of sports was made in between the
05:29afc championship and the first super bowl they went to super bowl 36 when he went with with tom
05:34even though he got hurt and bledsoe came in and beat the steelers that decision alone is the
05:37greatest so tom is really here because of bill and why would anybody want tom he's not even a
05:42generational player right all right nick people just people just saying stuff to be saying stuff
05:48actually are actually that sunday who do you like i um i really want so i so can i do a big picture
05:54thing first yeah and then then we can talk about week one uh i like the patriots a lot this year
05:59um i said it we were on the air it was wild card sunday uh nationally i think i was on i was on
06:06this station also prior to the bills broncos wild card game when the news broke that the patriots were
06:10gonna hire vrabel as the head coach before he was officially introduced i think like the next day
06:13and i said on the air in that moment patriots are going to be the second best team in the afc east
06:18next year like better than miami better than the jets i think that's absolutely true um and we don't like
06:24your audience knows about all the pieces that they added vrabel's an adult in the room
06:29mcdaniels is an awful head coach but i think he's a really good offensive coordinator and i think the
06:35quarterback's an absolute stud and and i said this to you guys all season last year so we would say
06:40like how do you measure success for a team that's bad and it's going to miss the playoffs and the
06:44thing that i kept saying was like you got your quarterback like like they hit i think elliot wolf
06:49has done largely a brutal job with personnel but he nailed that and whether or not like you could
06:54have made that pick you the person at home like is immaterial like he made the pick and i think
06:58drake may is awesome and the offensive line like quite literally can't be worse than it was last
07:03year and i like this defense and i think vrabel's an awesome head coach i i think the patriots are
07:07going to win nine games i i think they could absolutely make the playoffs i think they have
07:12a higher ceiling than the chargers i think their defense is better than the bangles um i like the
07:17patriots a lot in this matchup if i had to bet the game i would i would lay new england christian
07:23gonzalez being out is going to be a huge deal though and they got to get him back on the field
07:27because i love the tandem of gonzalez and carlton davis at corner but obviously you take gonzalez
07:33out of the mix when and and wiki you can speak to this better than me my guess is that you probably
07:37would see gonzalez like on brock bowers a lot in this game to try and get bowers the best tight ends
07:42in the league like i think now you can make a case that bowers is gonna have a nice game and
07:46jacoby myers the former patriot can have a nice game so if i had to make a bet in this game on the
07:51side or total i'd actually bet the over right now at 43 and a half the raiders have one good player
07:57on defense in max crosby and i think this is a potential smash spot for drake may and the gonzalez
08:03injury i think does matter here and i think the raiders can score more than expected so who do i
08:07think is going to win the game i think the patriots are going to win um what is my preferred bet over
08:1243 and a half points on sunday in foxborough excellent what about tonight in brazil so the number
08:18is almost kansas city minus three and a half um i don't have much of a desire to lay that kind of
08:24number here but i do think the chiefs are going to win so i've got kansas city and some money line
08:28parlays i think the chiefs are going to win the super bowl this year again i think they fix their
08:32offensive line and i think the chargers have a pretty a high floor but a low ceiling i don't see
08:39a ton of blue chip players on this team outside of the quarterback maybe the first round running back
08:43omarion hampton's going to be good i i think they're not going to be able to get a pass rush on
08:47mahomes here uh i think the chiefs are going to win will they win by four maybe maybe not but i
08:52feel pretty confident the chiefs will at least win the game tonight who's your pick for oh sorry
08:56no steelers jets i love the steelers i love the steelers um so i'll just just quick betting advice
09:02um if you like pittsburgh please lay minus two and a half and if you like the jets please bet plus
09:07three i like pittsburgh um the jets lost their best offensive lineman a few days ago for the season
09:13right guard elijah vera tucker pittsburgh obviously has cam hayward and keanu benton and
09:18tj watt and alex highsmith and justin fields can't throw and it's going to be a problem uh i think the
09:24steelers win by double digits i also like the under in the game on sunday so nick 425 on sunday
09:30lions packers i feel like a lot of people are off the lions now like a little too much uh where i kind
09:37of like the lions as a dog in this spot and they're too high on the packers after getting micah parsons
09:41but him needing a shot in his back i don't know how impactful he's going to be i like the lions
09:46where are you at with lions packers i like the lions also um i do think the packers have a higher
09:51season-long ceiling than detroit in this matchup though and shine you nailed it right like parsons
09:57isn't healthy like he's gonna have an epidural to play like i've had epidurals for i'm not an athlete
10:02but i've had epidurals for a pinched nerve like they don't even work like more than like more than
10:0750 of the time so even if parsons plays i he's probably just gonna be a situational pass rusher
10:13he's a great run defender and i don't know if they're gonna have him to defend the run their
10:17number two corner nate hobbs is limited in practice and isn't 100 healthy jayden reed may not play in
10:22this game and while green bay i think like i said as a higher upside i think detroit entering the year
10:28has more blue chip players i think the lions are gonna win on sunday and something else to keep in mind
10:33the packers have a short week heading into week two they play next thursday night at home against
10:38the commanders it would not be shocking to me if green bay started oh and two and that would be
10:44the buy point on the packers to achieve big things this season because they can definitely get there
10:48i just think it may be a little bit of a slow start for green bay all right nick what about your squad
10:52giants taking on the commanders in washington is this the year that dable finally turns it around
10:59with the uh new york giants no okay um we need to know there's a big piece of injury news here
11:07um andrew thomas is the giants left tackle he's by orders of magnitude their best offensive lineman
11:13he practiced on to get he's been hurt all off season he practiced on wednesday didn't practice
11:17yesterday this feels very up in the air he matters a lot for the giants pass protection and the giants
11:24offense if he does not play i think washington can lay it on them if he does play i think you can
11:30maybe make the case the giants could keep the game reasonably close with their defensive line
11:34i do think the commanders will win the game i don't have a strong betting take now wiggy until we find
11:39out if andrew thomas is going to play okay nick so great to have you back dude we love it awesome i
11:44love you guys you're the best you're right um any wishes for us before we go yeah minimal sweats winning
11:49bets the absolute very best of luck and courtney i think you should just like just say you don't
11:54like him no it's okay i love curtis i i i don't like him it's okay
12:00curtis you probably feel the same way right no i love that is the host of you better you bet
