Jason threatens a chair before Al starts the live show

Jason enters by threatening to throw a chair, says the threat keeps Phoenix on its toes, and explains that his path around the stage hit a dead end. The desk then spots the Waffle King, answers with the King of Waffles, and hands the formal introduction to Al.

moment

Phoenix is the dangerous prediction stage full of Megalabowl sharks

The hosts remember Andrew Luck retiring moments before their last Phoenix show and say predictions made on this exact stage have come true or sent a condemned team to a Super Bowl. The audience then reveals its Megalabowl players, including a self-declared shark.

moment

Julio becomes the Queen and Jason needs captions

The celebrity-comparison slide equates Julio Jones with the Queen of England as past-prime reminders of another era. Jason later answers a player question in a sustained Queen voice that nobody can understand, asks for closed captions, and praises what 'the queen' said.

moment

Lawyers retire the terrifying train drop

The hosts recall that the old hype-train sound was frightening to listeners in cars. Complaint emails arrived, and the team's lawyers advised them to stop using it even though the studio itself could not be hit by a train.

moment

Team Asba rejects the red inhaler

An asthma tangent recruits a player to 'Team Asba,' demands the blue inhaler, calls the red version garbage despite claims of equivalence, and identifies the single Illinois audience member who understands.

moment

Mike's space vomit is no longer his problem

Mike is willing to go to space if he can bring Dramamine, expects to vomit everywhere, and decides that once the vomit floats away in zero gravity it is no longer his problem.

moment

Jason's Brady prophecy returns as a llama-sheep GOAT

The desk remembers Jason predicting the beginning of Tom Brady's end on this same stage in 2019, immediately before Brady's team won a Super Bowl. A GOAT cue then sounds like a llama and finally a sheep before the hosts identify it.

moment

A hamstring becomes a branded little you-hoo

Mike calls Michael Thomas's issue 'a little you-hoo.' When told he may want to retain the word hamstring, Mike says it is no longer necessary because the replacement has now been branded.

moment

Jason builds a Cowboys case solely to hurt Mike's Zeke pick

After a long anti-Cowboys presentation, Mike asks how much is motivated by his Ezekiel Elliott draft. Jason answers 100 percent and says he did the work that morning to make Mike feel bad. The feud becomes a water bet around RB18 versus RB19, and the hosts briefly reverse which side wins.

moment

Handsome Kyle Pitts becomes a cheetahactyl

The hosts admit Pitts's handsomeness factors into analysis, combine his speed and wingspan into part cheetah and part pterodactyl, then name the creature a cheetahactyl. Jason's Queen character supplies a pterodactyl sound and the desk admits it has lost control.

moment

Owl's board mutates Jahan Dotson

The next bold prediction cannot begin cleanly because the board cycles Jahan Dotson through Johan Dotnet, Dotting, Totten, John Dodson, and Dodson. When the hosts ask who placed it there, they identify Owl.

moment

Mike confesses Antonio Gibson treason

After being reminded that he was early, heavy, and hot on Antonio Gibson, Mike admits trading him the previous night. Mike calls himself a coward, loser, and traitor; although Garrett Wilson is judged a good return, Mike says he no longer knows what he is doing and has lost complete control.

moment

Phoenix chants Brooks into the mailbag

While the live microphone is readied, the hosts instruct the audience to cheer for Brooks. A full Brooks chant starts, Brooks appears, and he delivers what the desk requested as the best mailbag drop of the year.

moment

An Ohio superfan defeats Jason's geography

Jared travels from Ohio to 105-degree Phoenix after missing tickets for Detroit. Asked how far that is, Jason offers more than 100 miles, correctly locates Detroit in Michigan, and can place Ohio only somewhere near it.

moment

Kyle's wife enforces one league in, one league out

The hosts define too many leagues as four hours of unwanted Tuesday waiver homework and eventually owning every player, which makes everything good, terrible, and meaningless. Kyle the Borgogon has a household solution: his wife does not let him join a league unless he leaves one, although the desk hopes his initial balance was 50.

moment

A stacked dynasty roster asks why it cannot stop winning

Eduardo lists Mahomes, Hurts, Jefferson, and Jonathan Taylor before the desk asks whether he has an actual question. The question is reframed as 'I can't stop winning,' 'do you need a co-manager?' and 'why am I so good?' before Eduardo credits the show.

moment

The podcast rolls directly into an AMA and a crew ovation

The recorded episode ends, but the hosts announce they will return within minutes for a text-in AMA with travelers from Phoenix, Ohio, San Francisco, and New Mexico. They explicitly ask the crowd to give it up for Brooks and Al before thanking their home city.

summary

Episode notes

The live Phoenix opening begins before the formal intro: Jason threatens to throw a chair to keep the crowd on its toes, describes taking a dead-end route around the stage, spots the Waffle King, and answers with the King of Waffles. Al cues the produced introduction, and the crowd is called ferocious, sweaty, and smellable. The hosts remember that Andrew Luck retired moments before their previous Phoenix show and that frightening predictions on this exact stage have sometimes come true—or sent the targeted team to a Super Bowl. A visible group of Megalabowl players identifies itself, and one host calls himself a shark. The celebrity-comparison game turns Julio Jones into the Queen of England because both are past their prime and reminders of a former era. Jason later performs an extended Queen voice so unintelligible that the desk asks whether it paid for closed captioning. Show-production history appears when the hosts remember replacing a frightening hype-train drop: listeners heard the train while driving, emailed complaints, and the team's lawyers advised against it. Mike's asthma knowledge creates Team Asba, a good blue inhaler, red garbage, and one cheering Illinois nerd. A space question gives Mike a Dramamine request and the conclusion that zero-gravity vomit is no longer his problem. Jason's 2019 prediction that Tom Brady had reached the beginning of the end is recalled on the same stage; a GOAT sound effect is first mistaken for a llama and then a sheep. Mike rebrands a hamstring injury as 'a little you-hoo' and insists the body part no longer needs to be named. Jason's anti-Cowboys case is exposed as 100 percent motivated by Mike drafting Ezekiel Elliott; the argument becomes a water bet with an 18-versus-19 points-per-game line. Kyle Pitts is handsome, part cheetah and part pterodactyl—a cheetahactyl—and the Queen later supplies a pterodactyl sound. Al is credited when Jahan Dotson's name on the board mutates through Dotnet, Dotting, Totten, and Dodson. Mike then confesses he traded former favorite Antonio Gibson the night before, calls himself a coward, loser, and traitor, admits Garrett Wilson was a good return, and says he has lost control of his life. The crowd chants Brooks while production prepares a microphone, and Brooks delivers the requested best mailbag drop of the year. A listener who flew from Ohio because the Detroit show sold out exposes Jason's rough geography: Detroit is in Michigan and Ohio is merely near it. League overload becomes Tuesday waiver homework and, once every player is rostered somewhere, makes everything good, terrible, and meaningless. Kyle the Borgogan has a marital one-in-one-out rule: he cannot join a league unless he leaves one, though the hosts hope his original balance was 50. A final listener's stacked dynasty roster becomes 'I can't stop winning,' 'why am I so good,' and a co-manager request. The podcast ends by announcing a separate post-show AMA and thanking Brooks and Al to live applause.

Did Jason almost throw a chair? What are you doing? I threatened a chair throw. I just want you all on your toes tonight. I might throw a chair. Did you go up the middle and then around? Yeah, I went that way. It was a dead end. So then I went all the way around that way. If you're going to run around, go that way. Wow, look at all these beautiful people. You know right there? I see a lot of jerseys. I'm sure we're going to hear about a lot of their favorite players. Yeah, somehow we got Patriots in the front. Oh, he's trying to make excuses. I didn't know it was a Patriots jersey. He's like, I'm sitting next to a Cardinals fan. It's okay. I'm really just a Brady fan. Oh, it's the Waffle King. Oh. And I'm the King of Waffles. We got a great show for them tonight. A sensational show. Al, when you're ready. To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway.

2:14 ↗

Jason Moore and Mike Wright. One and all, a ferocious crowd in Phoenix, Arizona for today's fantasy footballers podcast. Very, okay. Okay, Red Bull exists. Well, they're feeling bold, Jason. Very bold, just as... A little spicy. Just as we are today. That's the sweat. No, we can smell you. Bold Predictions episode today.

3:06 ↗

Very excited to hear what you two gentlemen think is going to happen for the 2020. No, I'm not sure. I'm actually pretty afraid. Some scary things have been said on this exact stage before that, well, some of them came true. That's true. And others have won the Super Bowl when we call for their demise. I mean, but who's counting? Right. Anything could happen. Yeah. Yeah, the possibilities are endless. No one would ever repeat that. That's all I'm going to say. Spoiler alert. I'm just, dude, you were real funny. Thank you. Live mailbag here today. Got some news to talk about. The NFL season is oh so close to kicking off. Yes. I believe the last live show we had in Phoenix, Andrew Luck retired moments before it began. He did. He did. So is Josh Allen still?

4:04 ↗

As far as I know, we're still good to go. You'd have like 15 people leaving crying if Josh Allen retired right now. Probably more than that. 15. I guess we have probably a lot more Josh Allen in the house. A reminder, by the way, how many people here are in the Megalibol? Very excited about this year's Megalibol. Jason has added some wrinkles. You're in it? Yeah. Okay. Are you? All right. I'm a shark. Here's where we're going to start tonight, though. We're not going to start with the bold predictions. We're going to start with a quick question. We like to do this for the live shows. Very sophisticated, as always. That's what our brand is about. Yeah. Buttoned up. Simple. Compare a player to a famous celebrity. All right. Mike, kick it off. I'm going to kick it off here with, I'm going to talk about quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Good, good work, cheeseheads.

5:03 ↗

There's a few of you out there. He has your glasses, Jason. Oh, baby. We're going to double up here. I'll talk about Aaron Rogers because my man, Mr. Rogers, is very much like Tom Cruise, Hollywood A-list celebrity actor. I can hear the crowd like, what? How's Aaron Rogers like Tom Cruise? I don't even get it. That is the crowd voice. Thank you for capturing it. Here's the deal. Look, both started out. When their careers got going, they were the it guys. Just hot tamales. Everyone wants a piece of Mr. Rogers. Everyone wants Mr. Cruz flipping bottles and whatever. Risky business? No, I don't even remember the movie. Cocktails. Yes. Makes sense with the bottles. I'm setting them up to participate, guys.

5:59 ↗

But Tom Cruise was everything. Everyone, you've got to get Tom Cruise in the movie. You got to get Aaron Rogers and all the primetime stars. Well, then they kind of got in the media. They said some things that some people may or may not agree with. And the public kind of turned on them. But here's the thing. They're a little bit older. Those things have happened. And they're both still crushing. I mean, we got Aaron Rogers. It doesn't matter. He can't stop racking up MVP's Tom Cruise can't stop putting out movies that are, what is Top Gun about to break the record? Like, we're, we're, we're approaching. We're approaching Top Gun. We're approaching Avatar. We're approaching Endgame, all those things. And he just, he can't be stopped. It's possibly the best stuff of both of their careers. It's just a little bit crazy. Well, I'm not, who's to say? Who's to say? Who's to say? Leave it a mystery. About, you mean, like, oils and.

6:54 ↗

places where they probably shouldn't go, things like that. But so that's my comparison. I'm going with Aaron Rogers, is Tom Cruise. Jason, what do you got for us? Yeah, I got one about Leonard Fournett. I was thinking about Leonard Fournett, and I was like, I think Leonard Fornett is like Steve Buscemi. I mean, yeah, who hasn't? Yeah. It's such an obvious comparison. It is an obvious comparison because... They're not eye candy, okay? It is not fun to watch Leonard Fournett play football. He is plotting. He looks slow. He is inefficient. But in the end, both of these guys are dang good. Yeah. Bushimi's great. Bushimi's a star. Superstar. He does not make bad films, bad shows, or have bad roles. And Leonard Fournett last year only had one game outside of being an RB2 once he took that roll over.

7:50 ↗

for the rest of his season. In fact, during that stretch, when he was the full-time starter, he was the running back three. in fantasy football. So you could say whatever you want. I think he's one of the best values in the draft. You can get him at the two, three turn. And he is really good for fantasy football. Just don't watch the game. Just, you know, avert your eyes. Just look at the points. Just look at the points and be happy. I mean two, three turn. That's about where Buscemi goes, right? Yes, exactly. At the two, three. I like to double tap that when I'm on the turn. They're like, can we get this guy? No. How about this guy? No.

8:26 ↗

What about Buscemi? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bushmi's always available. His ADP right around there. All right, I got one more for you, and we said a celebrity, right? Yeah, we did. So, I mean, I'm going a different direction than the actor-actress way that you went. Very vanilla, by the way. I'm going to go with Julio Jones. You can put him up on the screen. This one's so obvious. Look, I mean, yeah. Just think about it right now. Who is Julio Jones like? And you've got it. You've got it locked in. Yeah, it's obvious. Number 12 has got a locked in the front. Some people are yelling it out. It's the Queen of England. Right? Did you get it? You had it? Yeah, he had. The guy in the Brady jersey. Look, it's a simple list of bullet points here, and you could see on the screen. Very similar. Way past their prime. Oh.

9:17 ↗

Why would you do that to the queen? Exists as more of a reminder of a time gone by. Yeah. Probably doesn't do a lot on a weekly basis. Yeah. They think they're important, but they're not that important. Oh, oh, oh, man. You're with me, right? You know that we have listeners in England. Not my queen. You're talking up Julio Jones right now. You're like, okay, he's going to be awesome. He's going to be like the queen. And lastly, we all say, we've all been saying what if because of what Antonio Brown did last year. But Julio's more likely to give you that AJ Green season in Arizona. I'm sorry to say. Oh, Arizona. Some people took some late round shots on Julio in this room. Guilty as charged.

10:18 ↗

All right, Al, let's move on to the news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA Insurance. All right, we do have some news to cover before we move on to bold predictions. Sean McVeigh says Cam Acres and Darrell Henderson both, quote, good to go. Oh. We had our League of Record draft yesterday, and I've been in many drafts over the last week. And it seems like people are afraid to take Cam Acres. He keeps... falling farther and farther. The gap right now in average draft position, fourth round, 11th round. Ooh, acres down to the fourth? Even still not. I mean, that's a huge gap between the two. Yeah, I do not believe that is far enough. In fact, in preparing for this show, one of my bold predictions, the third one that did not make the cut, was going to be that in games that Cam Acres and Daryl Henderson both play, Daryl Henderson will outscore Cam Acres in fantasy football.

11:21 ↗

That is the type of split. That's the type of split that I think could legitimately happen. And if Cam Acres doesn't get back from the Achilles injury, Sean McVeigh, you know, we have this theory of rational coaching that doesn't always come true. But Sean McVeigh is as good a coach as exists. If Cam Acres looks like he looked in the playoffs last year, he's not going to just sit there giving him the ball over and over and over like he did in the playoffs last year when he didn't have Daryl Henderson. If Daryl Henderson looks better, he's going to outscore Cam.

11:49 ↗

Mike, have you wanted to take Darrell Henderson late in drafts? Darrell Henderson? Yeah. Every time. Every time. Because you believe that it'll be more of a split than that ADP. I'm just, Cam Acres freaks me out. All right. Let's move on here. Bucks coach Todd Bowles. Russell Gage, on track to play week one. Is the shine completely gone from Russell Gage this off season? He is for me. They, in this off season, they signed. Yeah. Jason, can we talk to the queen of England? Yes. Here I am. Your Majesty, what do you think about Russell Gage as a potential late round value? I was listening to the fantasy footballers. Okay. And they told me a tip last year. They said that if a player has missed most of a driving cop with an injury because they do not work. Did you want this to happen, Mike? I mean, did you want to? He really stayed in it. I did. And then I didn't understand a single word that he just said.

12:49 ↗

I just heard, I hope this comes back at some point. The queen? Did we pay for close captioning? Do we have someone to? Because I would really like people to know what I said. It was excellent. I mean, what the queen said. Something about Russell Gage. Yeah, I mean, we had a tip on the, you know, top 10 things to remember. at the end of the year, and one of it was looking back to last year, players who missed the entirety or the majority of training camp with an injury. They were not a good value when you bought that injury dip. That is Russell Gage. So he's on track to play week one. That is never a guarantee he's ready to go. But when you miss that much time and you sign the Queen of England, it's hard to be valuable. The path, it's more difficult now to have relevance. Godwin will be there and involved at some point very soon.

13:43 ↗

One more bit of news, and I'm going to hit the hype train for this. Remember when this was a different drop? Does anybody out here remember when this was a different drop? Yeah. We used to have a- Bring back to terror. We used to have a very scary train that we didn't realize. We're in a studio. We know a train's not plowing through the studio. But most people listen in the car, and it was really frightening. We'd get emails. And our team of lawyers said maybe don't do that. What I don't get about that is how many people are driving over train tracks while listening to our... You can't be on the freeway. It's not like a police siren where it's like, oh, I think I'm getting pulled over. It's like, if I'm on the freeway and hear a train noise, I'm not like, oh no, runaway train. Okay, that's a pretty good point. It's on the 10. I'll get back to the story here, though.

14:41 ↗

ESPN reporting Titans have a major role plan for rookie Trelon Burks. The news in the offseason was very negative. It wasn't on the field, conditioning, asthma, lower on the depth chart. But this is the player they traded A.J. Brown straight up for. I have, you know, we've learned from years and years of listening to offseason discussion, especially on rookie wide receivers, that there's often more than meets the eye. And things can change very quickly. Justin Jefferson did not start his rookie season as a starter. Last offseason, Jamar Chase. That got me in trouble at this show last year. Oh, yeah. Jamar Chase last year in training camp and preseason couldn't catch a ball. He was complaining about the NFL ball versus the college ball. All the drops. And then he was okay. He was all right. She figured it out. Jamar Chase figured it out. Turns out all of his college.

15:31 ↗

production was more important than what you saw in a few reports from camp and preseason. And you've made this point a few times. Traillenbergs did not just develop asthma in training camp. Like this, if he has it, it's something he's dealt with. Conditioning might have been an issue. But look at the other players on this roster. This is a player that I've changed my opinion on. I've drafted him in a couple of drafts recently. Last night. Last night in our League of Record draft as well. So. Do you buy in with any of that hype, either the small little train or the freeway train? I mean, I'm in. Trailerks was, I loved him coming out of the draft just because of the potential. You could tell he's more of a, it's going to take some time. He's a raw prospect compared to like London and Garrett Wilson, but that's, they got drafted ahead of him because of that. But with the tools that he has, he could be.

16:27 ↗

come special. We got to get him for Team Asba. Get him the blue inhaler. Get the red one out. That red garbage they're pedaling on us. They say it's the same thing, but it's not. It's not. Nerds. Okay. So one guy in Illinois is like, yeah. But what's the ceiling for Trailingbergs if things go right? Robert Woods coming back off the injury, the depth chart. It's Austin Hooper hanging out there, catching passes. Yeah, I mean, you look at certain rookie wide receivers and you say, well, who has the, you could say the top five guys all have talent, but who has the opportunity? He is inheriting or could, if we're talking about best case scenario, he could inherit the A.J. Brown role. That's the type of player he was. That's who they traded to acquire him. So when the news first broke after the NFL draft of who was where,

17:17 ↗

Traylon Burks was my heaviest betting favorite to be the fantasy football leader. Now, the offseason has not been good. But this news really says that you can't just take preseason. I know the Damian Pierce and Isaiah Pacheco, like, they're going to be first ballot hall of famers, but I do think that where you're drafted in the NFL is for a reason, and he was. The capital invested in him is as much as, I mean, it really is as much as Garrett Wilson, even though Garrett Wilson went higher because you're trading A.J. Brown for this dude. Yeah, first round rookie wideouts average a 17% target share coming into the league. Higher ceiling real quick. Burks or Jahan Dotson this year? Oh, I will hire ceiling. Higher ceiling. I mean, if everything goes right, it would be Traylon. Okay, Berks, Garrett Wilson.

18:13 ↗

Burks. Okay. What about Jalen Tolbert? Berks. I think the players that you can have are good. Check them out. It's fun to say, say it with us. Burks. Yeah, I mean. What are you people doing? Yeah. Do you realize you just listened to me? Chris Olave, Drake London, those guys have the talent and the opportunity to really compete there. All right, that was today's news and notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com slash insurance. Hit it, Al. Welcome to the fold. Presented by Samsung Galaxy. You guys can nod like they're cheering for us, but they're cheering for me. Here's what we're talking about today. Because the waiver segment, this is the waiver segment. We're not there yet. Right.

19:17 ↗

We just finished our League of Record draft. There's a lot of players that you pick up, you throw right on the IR. There's a lot of undrafted players that maybe people should pay close attention to. Sneak onto their roster after the draft. Give me one name. I'll jump in because mine is really quick. It's James and Williams. Another rookie. Rookie wide receiver for the Detroit Lions. See, like, because he's coming off of the ACL Ter, he's like all those names you listed. We're not talking about James and Williams who. Had he not torn his ACL there right at the end of the year, where does he go in the draft? I mean, probably is the first wide receiver taken. And the Lions were the team that could get him and wait for him to come back. All reports are positive about him, you know, being on. I had a schedule. Yeah, on that schedule. So, I mean, if you don't like the flyer that you have at the back, or you do, maybe even do, drop them, pick up James and Williams.

20:14 ↗

Put him on the IR because there will be a point at this season. There will be where he's either going to be sought after on the waiver wire by everyone, or he's just going to be a nice little additional trade chip where you're like, oh, hey, this trade's not going to go through. What if I'll give you Jameson Williams, who's going to be back in a few weeks? I can't help but think of the injury return for Odell Beckham in his rookie season. Exactly. Where nobody would have seen the pathway, but when talent gets on the field, it has a way of just figuring it out. Elijah Moore last year, the quarterback struggles. Yeah, I would agree completely with this, but only in a league that has an IR spot. If you can't move him to your IR spot, grabbing a rookie that you know for a fact can't play the first month, I don't think he's worth that investment. I'm going to throw out.

21:00 ↗

a guy we've talked about a few times this last week, but you've never heard his name before that. It's Jordan Mason, the undrafted free agent rookie running back for the San Francisco 49ers. Who? Yeah, exactly. Jordan Mason. Look, this is a guy who right now projects to be the fourth on the depth chart. You've got Elijah Mitchell, who, if he's healthy and ready for week one. Right where Shanahan likes them. Yeah, exactly. Undrafted and deep on the depth chart. You've got Elijah Mitchell, you've got Jeff Wilson, and then they drafted Tyrion Davis Price higher than the undrafted Jordan Mason. But last year, last year, you were drafting in the 603, Rahim Mostert.

21:39 ↗

Now, he got injured, which Elijah Mitchell has never done. So maybe, um, maybe, you know, Elijah Mitchell doesn't get injured week one. Elijah Mitchell is the clear starter. But in the 608, same round as Rahe Moster, we were drafting Trey Serman. Whoops. Whoops. He's no longer on the team because. Jordan Mason. Specifically, they talked about that. They wanted to hopefully get Jordan Mason on the practice squad, but they were afraid people were going to pick him up because he was the highest graded runner from PFF this entire preseason. And they said, we just can't lose this guy. So they cut Trey Sermon. And then you know what happened last year, Elijah Mitchell was the number one waiver claim because, you know, Moster got hurt and Elijah Mitchell was awesome. If Elijah Mitchell gets hurt.

22:27 ↗

I think the 5 foot 11, 223 pound Jordan Mason is going to be the number one waiver pickup in week one. Boy, I wonder if Shanahan just checks start percentages in fantasy to decide what his running bet. Such an angry man. It's every year we fall for it because we know how good the running game will be. Wait a minute. Uh-oh. Dude, this is a known, I think this is common knowledge. Kyle Uschek, big fan of the fantasy footballers. Juice. Juice is an avid fantasy football fan. What if he's talking to Kyle Shannon and be like, look, I can get this guy off of waivers right now. Put him in the lineup, make him the starter, and Juice is just dominating his leagues. Yeah. All right. I would never happen. That would never happen. Or would it.

23:19 ↗

All right, I'll give you one name, Nico Collins, wide receiver for the Houston Texans. Okay. We talk about rookie talent from last year. This is a sophomore season for Nico Collins. 64-215 was a third-round draft pick, and there's a ton of opportunity there. It's not all going to be Brandon Cooks. Very impressive in the preseason. And Damien Pierce, of course. Well, yes. I mean, now we're filling up our team with Texans, and this is getting frightening. But 60 targets last year for Nico Collins, big-bodied, competitive catch guy, and praised by both coaches and Davis Mills this off-season, I just think you should keep your eyes out for Nico Collins because there's going to be an opportunity there across the field for Brandon Cooks. And, you know, as much as they want to run the football, they can't. This is a situation where they can't run the football because they're...

24:13 ↗

They're losing by two or three touchdowns. So last year they wanted to, they'd start the game. They'd give it to Mark Ingram. He'd gain one yard. They do it over and over again. Then they'd be down by three touchdowns, and they have to throw the football. So I think that Nico Collins is just somebody you should pay attention to. Absolutely. And deeper benches. All of these guys, you can throw them on there. So that was welcome to the fold. Presented by Samsung Galaxy Unfold Your World. Visit Samsung.com to learn more. It's time. Ridiculously bold predictions. Is that a breeze hall?

24:53 ↗

HOF already? Spreading it across the galaxy? That's right. The Breeze Hall Truth. Would you go to space with either of you guys go to space if you had the chance? Yeah. Yes, I would love to go to space. Mike, would you get in on one of those blue origin? Can I bring dramamine? Oh, you're worried about the tummy tums. I'm a vomit everywhere. Why don't you see what vomit does in space, Mike? Oh. Back in? It's not my problem anymore. All right. Are we ready for the bold predictions? Let's get spicy. Why am I doing this? It didn't work for me. Oh, is this where we're starting? Well, yeah, we're starting here. Good luck. Tom Brady. Hold on. Hold on. Which way is he going to go? Tom Brady, a my guy for me last year. Finally doesn't have it anymore? Oh! It's the beginning of the end. Listen, betting?

Against Tom Brady has been a very, I mean, it's a losing, a losing proposition. Jason did it from this very stage in 2019. Whenever they won the Super Bowl. Yes. And whenever you consider saying something negative about Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. Wait, is that his full name? He's a junior? How is I not heard of his dad? Yeah, that's the part. I heard multiple middle names. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. What's going on over there? Look, when you say something negative, the response you get... Yeah. Farm animal. Was that a llama? Listen again. Okay. A sheep. Got it. He's the goat. He's the goat. So you can't be right. If he's the goat, you can never be right. He's going to play forever. MVP forever, Super Bowl's forever.

He decided to keep going to 48. He was allowed.
