00:00Winning changes everything.
00:01Track the playoffs now.
00:02See you Tuesday.
00:04This is 7-7 in Heaven.
00:09Tone, you're going to go first.
00:10I went first last week.
00:12And I have to get my sheet out because I always write down yours.
00:16By the way, two-second trivia coming up at 745.
00:18Your chance to win a four-pack of Mr. Hero combo meals.
00:20That's a lot of good eating.
00:22But you've got to win two-second trivia.
00:23You've got to get two questions right within two seconds each.
00:26Tone, you ready?
00:27I am.
00:27Off we go.
00:28So, all right, no huge changes.
00:31I'm trying to look back.
00:33The only big change I've had over the last few weeks, at least,
00:35in terms of the division winners, is having bounced Baltimore for good reason.
00:40So, here's what we will do.
00:42Chiefs, number one.
00:44Bills, number two.
00:46Jags, even with their bevy of moves, does not move the needle enough for me
00:49to change them in their seating.
00:53And then I have the Pittsburgh Steelers, number four.
00:55Those are your division winners, which moves us to the wild card.
00:58To me, the most interesting part of all of this, obviously.
01:01I have, emerging from not even a part of my seven in heaven, all the way up to number five.
01:08You want to talk reactionary?
01:09I'll give you reactionary.
01:10The Cincinnati Bengals have now moved up into the primo wild card spot.
01:16I didn't even have him in up until now.
01:19I am gaining more faith by the week.
01:22So are you.
01:22Well, it's just the faith in Joe Burrow.
01:24Well, I don't think you can sit there and act like I've done a mind-blowing thing when you were
01:28two weeks late.
01:29When I was what?
01:30Two weeks late.
01:31You had him in there two weeks ago.
01:34The Bengals?
01:35Yes.
01:35I had him barely hanging on by a thread.
01:37You did.
01:38I had him at seven.
01:39Right down by a thread.
01:39Yeah, now I have them as the number one spot as these teams jockey for position.
01:44I have the Cincinnati Bengals.
01:45Joe Burrow has just been phenomenal.
01:48How many touchdown passes does he have on the year now?
01:50A lot.
01:51A whole bunch.
01:53They are stacking, stacking touchdowns in the passing game.
01:58Then, I have a team that right now, if the season were to end today, would be the number two
02:03seed in the entire playoffs.
02:04I have them all the way down to number six.
02:08Who the hell is that?
02:08The Denver Broncos.
02:09At least you put them in.
02:11All right, Denver.
02:12And finally, I have still, this is not a huge vote of confidence, I have the Cleveland Browns.
02:19All right.
02:19That's the number seven seed.
02:20All right.
02:22Joe Burrow, 23 touchdowns.
02:23Who are the top four again?
02:24I'm sorry.
02:25Who are the top four?
02:27I put you in a bad spot.
02:28I didn't write enough.
02:29Chiefs, Bills, Jags, and Steelers.
02:33KC, Buffalo, who and who?
02:34Jags and Steelers?
02:35Jags and Steelers.
02:35Okay.
02:37Okay.
02:37Here we go.
02:38Ready?
02:38The way we go.
02:40Number one, Buffalo.
02:42Number two, Kansas City.
02:44Number three, Jacksonville.
02:48Could they make a run and be the number one seed?
02:50I mean, they could.
02:51Or is it just too much and you got to mix it up and you wouldn't be surprised if they
02:54lost
02:54a couple of ballgames?
02:56Maybe that's it.
02:57Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
02:57Pittsburgh, number four, number five, and I did this back on, on Monday.
03:03I got, I got Denver.
03:06They're still number five.
03:08They've been in the seven and heaven now for two weeks.
03:10Number six, number six, number six, number six, number seven, are we hoping or do we really
03:20believe it?
03:21Well, I looked at, part of it is the Patriots and their schedule is one thing to pay attention
03:29to.
03:29The other thing is Houston.
03:31Houston, if they beat you this week, they could be in position.
03:37Even though right now they're the 11 seed, they're three and five.
03:41They beat you this week.
03:43They could be surging.
03:44So it's, um, it's a lot to factor.
03:46I don't think anybody now is taking the Raiders all that seriously.
03:50And then the Ravens.
03:52So, I mean, you're still in it.
03:54You're still going to be in the conversation regardless of what happens this week against
03:57Texans.
03:57Yeah.
03:59There's such a clear line between six and seven right now, as far as just pure win loss
04:05record goes.
04:06Six seed right now in the actual, not in the seven in heaven, in the actual, like, if
04:11the playoff started today is six and two.
04:13And then you have the Browns and the Patriots, both at five and four.
04:17This is why I think the Browns Patriots and Texans are going to be battling this out.
04:21Are you including the Texans or no?
04:23Are you, have you, why not?
04:24They're three and five.
04:25And if they win, there'll be four and five.
04:26And yeah, they're going to battle it up.
04:27So it's going to be between those three teams for a while to kind of those three teams.
04:31The other, I mean, Vegas has the wins and so does Baltimore, but they're both kind of
04:37out of it already.
04:38Right.
04:38And that'll be, that'll be big time.
04:40I think deflating that cousins is out of there.
04:42Not because they don't necessarily believe in those, but it's a rookie.
04:44So the rookie is going to make rookie mistakes.
04:47They're going to be rookie operational mistakes.
04:50They're going to be all those things that the Browns fans certainly know.
04:52They have Seahawks, Chiefs, and then come to Cleveland.
04:54Oh yeah.
04:56This is why I'm wondering if we're just hoping and we're not being honest with ourselves,
05:00because if you were going to go, like if I was outside of Cleveland, what would I say?
05:04And I was doing a seven in heaven.
05:05All right.
05:06The Patriots are at number seven.
05:07Patriots were a Superbowl team last year.
05:09They would all put the Patriots ahead of them.
05:10Okay.
05:10There we go.
05:11But they have now looked at the schedule.
05:12Baltimore's now the Raiders are four and five.
05:14You could say, hey, rookie quarterback, and he's a good, he's pretty good.
05:18I don't know how good he really is, but number one, you're good quarterback.
05:21We'll see what he does.
05:22You would probably say, well, you'd probably take the Browns over the Raiders to,
05:25to be able to survive in advance and get to the playoffs.
05:28Baltimore, you would pick Baltimore Houston.
05:30If we're doing three and five, we'll pick Houston.
05:32And you know what?
05:32Can't count out the Los Angeles chargers.
05:35Cause they didn't trade anybody.
05:36So apparently they think they're about to make a run of runs.
05:42Weird, weird team.
05:44Weird, weird group out there.
05:47216-474-0092.
05:49I just want to make sure we're, we're, we're being honest brokers of this.
05:52Like it's, it's, it's not fun, but it's, it makes it tough.
05:58And Keith, Keith's already texting about Jacksonville.
06:00I'm like, Hey, can they make a run?
06:01Or are they putting people together?
06:02And could it take a couple of ball games to get it together where they might drop a couple?
06:07What's, what's the question about Jacksonville?
06:09Keith brought up their schedule.
06:10Cause I wonder, I go, could they be the number one seed?
06:12And Keith brought up their schedule.
06:13They're at Tennessee this week at the giants, then against Tennessee.
06:17Bears are a toughie.
06:18Steelers are a toughie.
06:19Texans could be a toughie.
06:20That's three straight.
06:21That's three straight games that probably could decide.
06:24And then Cowboys, commanders, Colts.
06:26That's three straight games that also could decide.
06:30Cause, uh, well, they're only lost so far.
06:32Jackson, uh, two losses, uh, one to Denver, but the other loss is to Houston in a barn burner.
06:38You want to know some galaxy brain?
06:39Would you shut down Jonathan Taylor?
06:42If you're Jonathan Taylor or if you're the Colts, I know you can't do it, but, uh, yeah,
06:47there's a lot of people saying like, Hey man, there's, there's, you're hoping a lot at seven.
06:50I get it.
06:51I know that's, it's a hope I'm hoping.
06:54Um, but I, I just got, I just got a glimpse.
06:56I got a taste and I don't want to give up the taste.
06:58I want to keep the, I want to keep the, the, the plate at the table.
07:01That's what I'm trying to do.
07:02But that's what I wonder about that feeling in the locker room.
07:04I'm going to come back to that.
07:05Peppers and oils got to stay, man.
07:06That look, there's, there's thought about whether or not this has been sports,
07:11gamesmanship out of Todd Munkin, um, whether or not any of that had to do with the trade
07:16deadline.
07:17Well, that's over trade deadlines over.
07:19And Deshaun Watson was cleared to play.
07:21He could have played in that game last week, supposedly.
07:24So if you don't name him the starter and, and explain why in a convincing case that I
07:30think the locker room is going to go, what are we doing here?
07:32What, what, why are we flailing away when we were a five and three team?
07:36Yeah.
07:37And you were in Lima and Carmen seven in heaven.
07:41Why all of a sudden are we debating this at all?
07:44And then not adding at the trade deadline, anything, even, even reserves, which could have
07:49been easily plucked away.
07:52Well, let me ask you, are you comfortable trading away assets for the future for the
07:56now?
07:56Oh, just for reserves.
07:58That's what I'm saying.
07:58Oh, okay.
07:59But even, even so, like, do that.
08:01If somebody, I'm just going to use Harold Fannin goes down with an injury at all, even for
08:05two weeks.
08:06You're in a bad, you're in a bad spot.
08:08Holy cow.
08:08Now it looks like, what were you Carson?
08:10Ryan going back and forth.
08:11They'll just tail and green.
08:12Can he play tight end?
08:13But like, I bring up like, you get a, you get a guy when it's like, okay, you got, I
08:18keep
08:18bringing up a guy like Charlie Kohler.
08:20All right.
08:21If the chargers wanted a fourth rounder for Charlie Kohler, you're probably going to nine.
08:25I need, I still need guys.
08:26I can get my own rookie for in a fourth round at a tight end position.
08:29And I do think it's weird because the trade deadline, because I think there's so much uncertainty
08:33about who's coming out in the draft and who's not and guys going back.
08:37I think that that's started to really pick up the trade deadline.
08:40And also, I mean, you got teams that want to have a look at it.
08:43I think that you have so many quarterbacks that aren't a lead anymore that you're like,
08:47Hey, maybe we can get this done.
08:48Maybe we can do this.
08:49By the way, trade deadline conversation on 92 through the fan brought to you by hands
08:52free sketchers, slip-ins, just step in and go brother.
08:56That's all you got to do.
08:57So I think that that's taken a little bit of a bite out of it.
09:00Yes.
09:01But if I were the Browns, I can't kill him for not going after names, going after like,
09:08yeah, Khalil Mack.
09:09We talked about Khalil Mack and I go, I can't give up probably the assets that they would
09:12want for Khalil Mack.
09:14And I don't know if I want to give up everything for, I don't know if I want to give
09:17up very
09:17much for a 35 year old who could call it quits at any time because he could come to
09:21Cleveland.
09:21He'll be a professional and he would have come to Cleveland and then he would have been
09:25like, okay, I'm done.
09:26If they would have just barely made the playoffs or came to the doorstep of the, of the playoffs,
09:30probably would have said he was done.
09:32Even so.
09:34I can't say probably, but you run that risk.
09:36You want young guys that you can control contracts right now and you want to be able to build
09:42for the future.
09:42They are trying to, you can see what they're trying to do and it's very hard to do because
09:46of the uncertainty at the quarterback position, but they're trying to thread a very tough
09:51needle.
09:51We want to build for the future, but we also were five and four and we have this opportunity
09:55now.
09:56And so there are people go, well, just lose the games.
09:59No, you can't just lose the games.
10:00Cause then it starts to get in your head about getting rid of a head coach that I think has
10:03done a hell of a job so far coming up at eight o'clock.
10:06We'll go around the AFC North.
10:08We have two second trivia at seven 45.
10:11Do we have this audio coming up next?
10:12We do.
10:13All right.
10:13I want to hear this AJ Ross already audio.
10:16There's a lot of people going, Kenny, you're, you're putting your head in the sand.
10:18This is real.
10:19This is a real report.
10:20Okay.
10:21I'm what I didn't hear it live.
10:23I want to hear it now when we come back and we'll draw our own conclusions here.
10:28Cause I can, I can see it and I can hear it.
10:31Ken Carmen, Anthony Lima live on the fan.
