Matt calls the mock-draft tool a beta product for alphas, prompting the hosts to crown the Falcon as the Deucers' sigma male before telling him to mute his microphone.
A Cam Skattebo answer from Jason and Mike becomes rare breaking news; when millions see it without initial credit, Mike takes the omission personally and the hosts repeatedly return to sourcing etiquette.
Al posts his own pool backflip to Slack, the studio displays it for YouTube and scores it, and the hosts later ask him to close the episode with another backflip.
After Jason invokes Gino Smith's recent seasons, the others say his love for Gino knows no bounds, call Gino his dude, and frame the allegiance as burning down with the Jets.
During a live long-run count, Kyle deletes his original four and changes the answer to five, immediately provoking a joke that this is the moment he would not want attached to his name.
The episode opens with the normal three hosts but quickly becomes useful crew canon. Matt's phrase 'beta product for alphas' earns him both Falcon recognition and the one-off title 'sigma male of the Deucers.' Jason and Mike's Cam Skattebo interview produces a rare bit of breaking news; when outside reporting initially omits credit, Mike takes it personally, invents the Madam Schmmester reporter character, and later celebrates the correction while insisting the show cites its own sources. Al answers the backflip story by posting his own pool backflip in Slack; the video goes onto the studio back wall, earns high scores, and becomes the proposed YouTube sign-off. Later, Jason's long-running defense of Gino Smith is described as love that knows no bounds and a willingness to burn down with the Jets. Kyle also supplies a tiny live-production gag by deleting a four-run statistic and replacing it with five while the hosts are discussing whether he wants to be sourced.
two number one wide receivers. Like that's >> that's a that's a gift that very few quarterbacks have. Yeah. >> And then you have an offensive supermind. Is that that's an argument in the Burrow camp or the Burrow style, you know, where like >> Yeah, >> he could be the next one of those guys that goes out there and throws >> It's like Burrow and Dak. They have two true number ones out there and look what happens to their production. >> We're definitely not nuclear. >> We're definitely not putting Olave Tyson in our brains the same way we chaser Higgins. But I think it's a fair point
because Tyson was a top 10 pick and Olive was one of the best producing wide receivers in the game last year. But I think in our heads, we're still feeling a little bit of the the up and down of a lave historically. Sure. And then Tyson with the injury and the and the younger quarterback. >> And none of this interesting, >> this isn't saying this is a slam dunk like I'm putting my stamp on. This is for sure happening. It's a >> this is in the range of outcomes and pricewise. >> Chuck very cheap in your drafts. >> All right. Well, go ahead. I will say
this for for fantasy purposes, Shuck being late and cheap in drafts, he was on pace his last seven games. Again, easy schedule, but another one coming up. His last seven games, he was on pace for 4,300 passing yards, but also >> he runs >> 425 rushing yards. Um, so yeah, for fantasy purposes, he could go out there and be one of those surprising, you know, there's there's a handful of late quarterbacks you take that you assume, oh, I see how Kyler scores a lot. I see I see how Jackson Dart scores a lot. These like Malik, he's like, I can see it. I
>> I know that we're long on time, but the implication of that though, if he throws for that many yards, is that both Olive and Tyson are going to outperform the draft cost? >> Yes. >> Right. I mean, you're you're talking about Tyson for sure. >> If he hit 4500, >> you're talking about 1500 more yards than the projection for Bracio. >> Yes. And and to just to be clear, this is that's the prop at 4,500. Like that's not his no projected line. >> He's probably at 4,000. >> Yeah. Right around there, >> which is a thousand more. >> And you those two guys and you have to
include Travis Han Jr., which shout out to to Nick Underhill for New Orleans Beat reporter. He's on the pronunciation with us. We're really trying to get it right. Like that's that's part of his skill set is your your running back can go out there and have >> Did we report the Did you guys talk about Chimera signing the address? >> We did. >> Um >> yeah, it is interesting. I mean, they are they are favored in two of the first six games. You mentioned it on the road against Detroit and Baltimore is brutal way to start the season. It's brutal,
but like Detroit could we could go in week one and Detroit's defense could be totally fixed, but we know that the potential for shootout is there >> going into Detroit. Yeah. Yeah. That'll that'll be tough. Um Travis Han, the ceiling there. I don't know what you guys talked about with the Chimera edition. Chimera obviously is going to be involved. >> I think it's still workhorse role for HN Jr. personally, >> which equates to what? Uh, >> you taking him or Bucky? >> Oh, that's a good question. >> I feel like that's a tough one. >> Probably >> they're back to back in my rankings.
>> Probably Bucky. >> I've got Achan two fantasy points more than Bucky. >> And in and Achan it has to be volume. Like he's not the most efficient player. He like he's pretty good in the receiving game, but he even for a player who is, you know, very athletic and fast, he's he he's never been like a or I guess his rookie year, sophomore rookie year. He was over five a carry, but then it's 3.8, 3.7, 4.3 last year. >> You think Kellmore can put him in a position though where he could be like a breakout type of candidate this year?
>> I think it's it's possible. Yes. All right, let's start with this division. Prediction wise, who you think's going to win it? Um, I've got my list for this division. >> I keep I I have a real hard time with two and three here, but I I've got my list as well. >> I'm going to go Mike, you can you can jot yours down. I'm going Tampa Bay winning the division. I got New Orleans coming up number two, Carolina 3, Atlanta 4. >> So, I was uh I was close. I'm going Tampa Bay number one. I've got Atlanta coming in number two. New Orleans number
three and Carolina >> bringing up the rear. >> We're all over the place with this one. I'm taking the Saints to win. I'll take Tampa Bay in second. I'll put the Falcons third and Carolina last. >> Yeah, we are all over the place. And now we got to make up for lost time here. AFC West. >> I mean, >> you know, you know, the Chargers are number one, baby. [laughter] >> I mean, this this is just a brutal one. >> I'll I'll kick it off here for the AFC West that we missed um when we did that show. I will have the Chargers winning
the division. Chiefs coming in second, Broncos third, and the Raiders assume it seemed like the free square. >> This division's impossible. I'm going to go Kansas City at number one. I'm going to take the Chargers, too. Denver 3, Las Vegas 4. That schedule for Denver >> is my biggest concern, but I I feel like that's so disrespectful because I could see them winning it. >> Oh, for sure. >> And I'm I'm taking them. I'm gonna go Denver, Kansas City, LA Raiders. I love We've picked all three different division winners here >> that >> Here come the Raiders. [laughter] >> Here come the Raiders to destroy us.
>> Hey, honestly, if if the Raiders do that, everyone wins. >> If the Raiders Mendoza is a superstar, >> if the Raiders are immediately a good team, it's incredible. >> And Clint Kubak is a genius. >> Yes. >> Uh Thursday, we've got the NFC East. Saturday, the NFC West to wrap up the divisional series. We've got other shows coming up like Unsolved Mysteries, another mockdraft episode as well. But uh we're going to say goodbye now. >> If if you want for the YouTube, you can close it out with a backflip. Al, >> I wouldn't mind. >> Yeah, you know he wants to.
