00:00How does it relate to the NFL? Thank you for asking.
00:02Because the Rams are out here collecting stars like Infinity Stone.
00:06I mean, obviously you want to be an Avenger.
00:07Look, friends, it's been a week. Let's review it.
00:09Plus, look how it turned out for Thanos.
00:11Also, we said about the Rams this season,
00:14LA started the season great 7-1.
00:17They've now lost two straight,
00:18and because of that, perhaps FBI's confidence as well.
00:22But, hey, it could be worse.
00:24At least they're not yet in, like, Eli's golf game territory.
00:28They're not the best in the NBA.
00:30The Kings, as in Sacramento, they've lost six of their last seven.
00:33They're not the worst in the NBA, but...
00:36But one King in particular might be the most frustrated in the league
00:40after a loss to the Timberwolves.
00:41It was Tristan Thompson, who was asked if Coach Luke Walton was inspiring the team.
00:45Thompson, all 30 years old of him,
00:47decided it was time to stop being nice and start being real.
00:52He can't be weak if he's right.
00:53Speaking of weak, W-E-A-K.
00:56It's time for that.
00:57Week in review, something that stood out to us as weak.
01:00This week, for me, it's the Big 12.
01:02Commissioner Poppoles, we...
01:03There's a story out this morning about a German soccer coach
01:06that has quit during an investigation over the use of a fake vaccine card.
01:11I get it.
01:12It's your body, your choice.
01:13Do with it what you please.
01:14But can we just stop with the faking?
01:17Own it.
01:17Whatever choice you make, just own it.
01:19To get vaccinated or don't.
01:21But don't pretend that you've gotten the shot if you haven't.
01:24Don't mislead people in any way with your words or potentially your money.
01:29Mama always said, happy birthday to my mom, tell one lie and all the truths become questionable.
01:35By the way, how's your arm?
01:36You got the booster.
01:37I got the booster.
01:38Yeah, it's sore.
01:38This is me after the booster.
01:39It's sore.
01:39Yeah, it's sore, but it's worth it.
01:41The pharmacist, she was getting ready to do it.
01:43She said, don't flex.
01:44And I was like, I'm not.
01:46Common mistake.
01:48It happens all the time.
01:50I can't even say it with the streaming.
01:51For the MVP, now if you've missed class, like maybe some of us have for a couple of weeks,
01:55the M is for the matchup.
01:57The V is for the most vulnerable team.
01:59And the P is for the player to watch.
02:01Desmond, my friend, give me an M.
02:05Well, Nicole, it's great.
02:07I missed you too.
02:08It's great to see a friendly face this morning.
02:10Because I got my two favorite fan bases behind me, cheering me on, giving me this energy.
02:15So let's go with the MVP.
02:16They love you.
02:17That is a bold, brave man to make that prediction right there.
02:20You can see more of him game day following us, 9 a.m. Eastern, right here on ESPN.
02:26About that game with our quarterback here in EJ Manuel.
02:28Look, C.J. Stroud has played in really big games this season, but he's a freshman.
02:32And this is the first game that he's played where it's a top 10 matchup.
02:36It's the kind of game that you both played in and won at Florida State.
02:39So let's just say he's coming to you for advice.
02:42What are you telling him?
02:43I've got the man you will with you who's under center this week.
02:45Peyton Thorne, quarterback for Michigan State.
02:47Yeah, you talk about Kenneth Walker III all the time.
02:49And this guy actually might win the Heisman.
02:52Stroud.
02:52You can catch more of this guy on ACC's network in the huddle.
02:56I'm going to get that out right.
02:58Can we say it?
02:59Yeah, the huddle, yeah.
03:00No, no, no.
03:00Can we say your news?
03:01Huh?
03:02Can we say your news?
03:02Oh, yeah.
03:03Congratulations to this man.
03:04Yes.
03:05See?
03:05He said it was stressful.
03:06Like, you know he's going to say yes.
03:08How stressful is it?
03:08Congrats, though.
03:09Did you know that she said, before you shouted it out on TV, did you know that she said yes?
03:13Yeah.
03:13Okay, good.
03:13It worked out great.
03:15No, I'm just guessing.
03:17Still ahead for EJ.
03:18Wedding.
03:18Tim Tebow.
03:19And look, I pulled up the Twitter this week, and I happened to notice that you had this tweet.
03:22And it was like, one play, one cut in particular is why you say there's a chance for Michigan State's
03:28running back to take home the Heisman.
03:29Okay, so on the field today, why could that very play from a week ago matter in the game against
03:35Ohio State?
03:36Because the game is on point.
03:39True.
03:39Another big game this afternoon, 3.30 Eastern on ESPN.
03:41It is the fifth-ranked team in the nation in Cincinnati taking on SMU.
03:45Here's the thing.
03:46SMU actually averages more points per game than Cincinnati.
03:50So how could they upset the whole apple cart?
03:53And Tanner Mordecai has 39 touchdowns on the season.
03:56That's a lot.
03:57Caps earned some style points as well.
03:58You mentioned Mordecai.
03:5937 touchdown passes this season.
04:01Second most in the nation.
04:03More of 10.
04:0410 a.m. Eastern over on the SEC Network for SEC Nation.
04:09See you.
04:09Back with us.
04:10The Cowboys have some issues because they don't have just one game without Amari Cooper.
04:14They now have two because he's on the COVID reserve list.
04:17That happened yesterday.
04:18So without their arguably star receiver, what is the plan?
04:24Well, I'm told the Cowboys are scrambling a bit here because Amari Cooper is.
04:27You could see more tight end action.
04:28Dalton Schultz is a guy that has really ascended.
04:30They like him a lot.
04:31He could get more targets.
04:32And keep in mind, it's not just the Chiefs game.
04:34It's also the Thanksgiving Day game against the Raiders.
04:37There is another star receiver who is out this week in DeAndre Hopkins.
04:41So when are the Cardinals hoping to get him back?
04:44Yeah, they're looking at after the bye week.
04:46They strategically did.
04:47Packers, same record.
04:49They are the two seed, though, because, you know, Green Bay won that game.
04:52My cheese is showing.
04:53I'm sorry.
04:54I'll be quiet now.
04:54Thank you, Mr. Fowler.
04:58It's time.
04:59Are you ready?
04:59I am ready.
05:00Who am I rooting for this weekend?
05:00That's it.
05:01It's the storylines, the players, the teams that we're rooting for.
05:03I need to know these things, Randolph.
05:04I'm rooting for Virginia Tech.
05:05Not only because they're sort of between coaches.
05:07Come close with Lichita State's Dexter Dennis because he scored 13 in a win for the Shockers.
05:12But it's what he did after at the...
05:14Oh, Dexter over there.
05:16That's pretty cool.
05:17That's awesome.
05:17And, you know, we have talked about how college basketball right now, we're like, all right,
05:21we got football.
05:22We got NFL.
05:22We got NBA.
05:23And now college basketball sort of joining the sports conversation.
05:27Best time of the year.
05:27It's why it's one of the best times of the year.
05:29Sports, as you say.
05:30What's next?
05:30We're thankful for that.
05:31We're thankful for another completed episode.
