Speaker 1: I'll start Toyota Presents off the bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Say, Hester and Hester got it, Finetta far.
Speaker 1: From carrying each other to and Natty to carrying each
other on the.
Speaker 2: Air well, it's Brock Control for the.
Speaker 1: Live from Downtown Baton Rouge.
Speaker 2: It's off the bench, all right, welcome back.
Speaker 3: In now number three, O, TV one, O four five, ESPN,
Ben Rouge. It's now time for our guy Nick Underhill,
New Orleans Dot Football to join us as he does
every single week.
Speaker 4: Nick. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for your time as always,
sir gentlemen, how you doing doing great?
Speaker 3: I'm sure for you it probably feels like like this
long period of time between the last preseason game for
the Saints and the first regular season game because of
the way that now with three preseason games, like does
it feel like, you know, you haven't really done like
all all this work that you do during training camp
and it's like you've got all these stories going out
and all these storylines and who's gonna win the quarterback
battle and then it's like it feels like a ten
day period where it's just like a lot of nothing
because you're just getting ready for that first game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's always the law after training camp, preseason, and
after the draft, where like it kind of slows down
and you just hit the force to sit there and
realize that, like it's just a lot of bs, Like
like all the work, all the work you do on
the draft of the draft guys and the guys who
were looking at all the storylines in training camp and like,
you know, all the all the hypothetical and possibilities tuddle
out and it's just, you know, a bunch of stuff
that didn't happen. But I'm excited, man, Like this is
a I've probably never been more eager to see what
the team looks like. I've never been more unsure what
a team's gonna look like, Like I just want to
see the curtain come up and kind of find out.
But the little break here was great. Like de spite
the week, I'm watching like nineteen college football games, kind
of scouting the QBS a little bit, you know. So
it's it's it's been a good little ten day break.
And it's kind of interesting because I do think this
college season is a little bit of a backdrop to
this Saints season in more ways than it ever has
been just because of the QB questions. You know, I
think they're probably pretty committed the shock his development, but
you know, you never know. If you're picking at the
top of the job, you do have to consider everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Nick.
Speaker 7: I would say, like from probably from a fan standpoint,
you're just excited to watch football and watch the Saints,
and it's I mean it's week one. There's a lot
of exciting, there's a lot of build up to that.
But like for professionally speaking, like you also have to
be excited that you don't have to basically manufacture like
content based on like one play that happened in a
random like Thursday practice. Right, you get to actually like
do your job and write collins, write stories and come
up with content like based on real facts. Now, like
we get the Rubber meets the Road this week, where
real games, you can really judge a quarterback, you can
really judge an offensive line of defense, Kellen Moore, everything
like that. So it's got to make your job easier
a little bit. Once Week one starts.
Speaker 5: Oh, no doubt about it. I mean, yeah, it's for
six months you're just kind of manufacturer and stuff and
coming up with ideas and yeah, it's a little bit
more rate in front of you and you're looking at
what's happening and decyphering it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: Just even last week I was watching the Cardinals and
like being able to actually watch like a defense and
trying to figure out like what it means and actually
having something real and have context to put it into
what was great And then like they are a highly
fascinating team on defense with some of the stuff they're doing.
They play like this penny front, disguise everything out of it,
and it's a ton of stunts. And then they just
brought back Campbell and they added Dalvin Tomlinson and Josh Sweat,
so like kind of felt like smoking mirrors last year
to hide a lack of talent in the front. And
now they have like real guys up there. So it's
gonna be interesting to see how that comes together. And
then in the back, I'd like someone stuff they're doing
with these safeties is a lot different, at least from
my vantage point, from what we see around the league.
It's just kind of they use those three guys back there.
Buddha Baker's the main one, and you know, you kind
of got that penny front up front and then just
the three safeties like just straight across in a line
and they kind of hold that like until after the
snap and then they can like rotate in the Tampa two.
In the Cover three, they play a quarter quarter a half,
they play quarters like and it all kind of looks
the same. So like, how does that go for a
guy in his seventh start? You know, like you kind
of got to read the defense, and if they run
play action, it's almost like if you turn it out
and you're special out there, like you kind of got
to read it again, and you know, like how is
he going to deal with all that stuff? So like
being able to look at stuff like that as opposed
to like, you know, joy and Blackman's break that I
I think I saw in a practice and how it
applies to like real life is it's way better now?
Speaker 4: Nick.
Speaker 3: One of the things we talked about with the Saints
getting ready for the regular season, they move on from
special team standout JT.
Speaker 8: Gray.
Speaker 3: When you heard the news of that, how surprising was
it for you?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 5: I mean, like we did a show where we were
talking about like possible surprise cuts, and I want to
preface this by like saying nothing I'm about to say, Like,
I think JT. Gray is a great player. I think
you can make an argument that he was better at
his particular job than maybe anybody else on this roster.
Currently three time All for second team offer last year.
But we did the show like about surprise cuts, and
he was a guy I had on my list, and
it was just simply because of where the team exists
right now, Like you got a twenty nine year old
in the last year of his contract, Like, are you
actually resigning him to a team, or like is that
roster spot more important to development than two yards of
field position? Now? Like if you're a team, if you're
the Bills, like that field position is everything. If you
look at forever edge, if you're the Saints and you're
trying to develop players, like maybe you put Jonas Stanker
in that spot and see if he can grow into
it and you can win with a young guy. Or
maybe you put Vayless Jones into it and see if
you can kind of you know, get two for one
there and that becomes a role he can do when
he gives you added value. But like, you know, it's
fascinating to me because there's a handful of things that
I think we've seen that kind of suggests that, like, yeah,
they're where they're in a in a bit of a rebuild,
Like Cedrick Wilson gets cut sign of the practice squad,
they claim Trey Palmer like that's one, you know, the
the Veley trade, even though he's twenty seven. I think
that was kind of with more of an eye on
a future as opposed to like going out and trying
to get like a Keenan Allen. But like this JT.
Gray one was the first one where it was like
they're actually even though Mickey Loomis goes up there and
constantly says like now we're not rebuilding, this to me
was very much like a sign of like, all right,
we're going to get rid of a player that can
help us win in the effort of trying to get
better for the future. And this is the first time
where I looked at it, I was like, Wow, they're like
actually like everything bleeding this direction, like they're actually making
moves toward that, and like suddenly now I think like
maybe anything's like possible, Like if they're really bad at
the deadline, like are they actually going to maybe trade
away some guys, I think the answer might actually be yes.
And I'm not sure I was ever like certain of
that before, but I feel like I am now.
Speaker 7: So you're you're thinking that you can kind of read
the tea leaves on this. Potentially this move might mean
more something significant towards the end of the season if
things aren't going the way they're helping.
Speaker 5: I think so, I mean, this is a first, Like
you can go at a podium and say things, you know,
and lie and paint things and try to try to
use euphemisms for things, but like your actions always tell
the story, and their actions to be are telling the
story of a team that like very much recognizes that
winning the NFC South probably isn't gonna happen, and it
shouldn't be the number one priority, Like you know, I
think last year it was all about, you know, gonna
do everything you possibly can to win nine games and
then if you get into the playoffs, anything can happen.
And you know, it just feels further away than that
than ever, and I think their moves are kind of
admitting it, and this is this is a direction that
they really need to be heading. Like I don't think
you you know, I think people would get confused because
I think there's a difference between rebuilding and tanking, and
everybody thinks you're either trying to win the Super Bowl
you're tanking. But I think there is an area in
the middle. And you know, I don't think you have
to get rid of all your players immediately to do it.
And I think that's very impractical too, Like you see J. T.
Grego and Alvin Kamierz tweeting about it, Tyro Matthews tweeting
about it, like you can't do things that are going
to like destroy your locker room. But I do think
if you got to the trade deadline and you got
one win at that point, these are there's logical people
in that locker room and they would understand and movement.
But like if you do things now, like I think
that you're sending the message that like you're giving up
and phone them they suck and like you can't do that,
Like you can do it, I'm mad, And I think
in real life, like you can't build a team like that,
especially with the first year head coach. But I do
think that there's going to be more of a practicality
to the thinking, Like after seeing this move. It just
if you get to the deadline and someone makes a
call on somebody and you know you're done and it's
a guy that's not necessarily part of your long term future.
I think the doors are open more so now than
they ever have them. Whereas you know before it was
just always like almost defiantly all in on winning nine games,
and I just feel like that's that's evaporated. It feels
like distinctly different from me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, you know, making that final roster cuts is
always hard. There's always like one or two people that
it's like, man that that had, you know, friends on
the team, Like people didn't want to see go.
Speaker 6: But it's just that's the nature of the beast.
Speaker 7: But so you look at the final roster now that
is set for Week one, it was JT. Gray was
that the most surprised. Isn't a shocking move to make
on this final roster? Was there something else that stood
out that that you just did not see coming?
Speaker 5: I think I think JT. Gray like obviously like the
trade Welts trunk Company Bay I surprise a little bit
promising player but back on the practice squad. But I
think all in all, like it was a lot of
stuff that that kind of makes sense, and it very
much is like heading forwards getting younger. I think they're
down to like eight guys twenty nine or older, and
a couple of them are on like pup and I
R so like the numbers even lower, they're they're in
the the bottom half of the league or however you
want to put it there, they're one of the younger
teams in the league. There they're on the right side
of that, whereas last year they were the third oldest
team in the league. And this is the guys like
you know, the Mario Davis and and not on the
like lifting that that level up a little bit. So
like they've gotten much younger, they're like and everything just
kind of moved in locks up with with with with
telling that that story of of like trying to you know,
get younger, rebuild, get more core players, get more younger
guys chances, and I felt like everywhere they had an
opportunity to do that, they made that decision. And then
you know, JK. Gray was just kind of the last
one on that list. But the one thing that surprissed
me about JK. Gray is that it happened on Monday
of week one, Like usually, like when one of these
veteran players decorated or being let go because they don't
fit in with the direction of your team, you oftentimes
see those guys get released like early so that they
can go out and find the spot. I don't think JK.
Gray is gonna have our time find on the spot.
I bet Rizzy was probably like on his phone immediately
after that happened, trying to talk someone into it. So
I think he's going to be fine. The only thing
that really surprised me about JP, like like, yeah, it's
the timing aspect of it, like usually see those handles
a little bit different. But no, I mean I don't
think anything really like made my head explode or caught
me like super off guard with the cuts, like overall,
you know it kind of it kind of felt like,
you know, there were not quite fifty three guys that
we're gonna make the you know, like, I think they're
gonna keep turning it, so I don't think they have
like hard decisions about who to cut. I think probably
some of those harder decisions were about like who do
they want to keep and like where are they going
to turn And I think we're gonna keep seeing that
turn happen like this time, like three guys yesterday to
the practice squad and there's an open spot on the
on the fifty three right now. Like I think we're
just gonna keep seeing, like you know, the bottom bottom
of that roster turnover probably all throughout the season. Is
the secret answers Nick, what's.
Speaker 3: The health of the offensive line heading into Week one?
We know Vuaga Trevor Pinning, they both right now going
through injury and both might be questionable for this game.
Speaker 5: I don't think that will see Penning out there for
this one. It'll probably be done. Raisin's uh starting in
his place. Penning is out of the boot and he
and he's walking and you know, he looks, he looks
normal moving around. I would just guess that he probably
needs a little bit more time elsewhere on the injury front,
Like I do think Lante Taylor is gonna play in
this game, or at least give every effort throughout the
week to get there. He's moving while he's running, sprinting
like so it looks like that's trending the right direction,
and you know, and I think maybe on like some
of those third downs, you probably want to try to
get him on like Trey McBride. So I think that's
probably a good thing for them to have. You know,
there their bigger and more physical corner out there that
that could maybe match up with the tight end where
where it dictates. You know, I think he's a really
good player, but I don't think you have that same
matchup ability there. So I think that that's a huge
one for them going forward. Who else is hurt? I
don't think it's anything like Julian Blackman standings up a
little bit. Jordan Howden is a little bit, but I
think they'll both be okay. But yeah, I don't I
don't think that will see.
Speaker 4: Panning this week.
Speaker 7: How long is elite? How long have least does Rattler have?
How many games does he have to prove that he
is a capable NFL starter before the pressure gets to killmore?
Because I know, I mean, if he does a pick
next year, I mean, I know the Superdome is gonna
be chanting Tyler Shucksley. It's just gonna happen. But like,
and that doesn't matter outside noise didn't creep in. But realistically,
how many weeks does he have to prove that he
is a capable NFL starter.
Speaker 5: I could be the biggest idiot in the room, but like,
I really think that that Kellen Moore has like a
real plan for this, and I think sometimes people don't,
Like I think sometimes that they're just trying to figure
it out and they're they're super worried about the outside
noise and the pressure and all that. And I think
one of the things that things that's like really beneficial
to Kellen Moore is that like I don't, like, I
don't know how this supplies, but it kind of doesn't
my head. Like he got here kind of like on
his own, like just through merit, not no politick, and
like Kellen Moore doesn't play the media game. Like he's
just he was a player, then he was a coach,
then he then he's an o C and then he's
a head coach and like he didn't have to look
any boots or anything to get here. So I think
he's he's extremely confident in his ideas and his ability,
and I think that makes him a little bit different
than guys. And I think it's going to be loud,
and people are going to be talking, and there's gonna
be people doing and I'm gonna be on here Tuesday
morning after week three, after they start owing three and
being like, man, I don't know, maybe they got to
change it, but like, I think he knows exactly what
he wants to do with it, and I think I
think it's probably more about prioritizing Shuck's development and making
sure he's ready when he goes the more so than
necessarily the results every we're gonna and I think that
that he's gonna stick to that, Like I really believe
he knows what he's looking for and he's gonna wait
until Shuck's ready, because like, even just coming right out
of it, I think it takes, you know, some some
courage to not go a Shucked right away. Like this
battle was extremely close, and this is the guy you
picked fortieth I thought going into it, like if it
was close at that he would side with Shucked, But
like he just he doesn't feel like he's ready to
get his best shot at succeeding. And you know, you're
year one in a patient organization. I think there's gonna
be noise everywhere, but like the organization isn't gonna buckle
the noise. And I don't think, you know, there's gonna
be pressure from up above on him. So I think
Moore is gonna have the ability to kind of stick
with his plan and look sometimes like their willingness to
sit back and let things play out is an organization
is I think sometimes frankly wrong, and it can be
incredibly annoying. I think they sat with the uh, you know,
like the coach for a little too long, but they
just didn't care like that. They thought that he could
turn it around and gave him every opportunity. So like,
I don't think Mickey Lewis is going to be in
Kellen Deer telling him to do anything. I think there's
a chance that they're going to try to do this
the right way. I don't believe that, you know, doing
it the right way. He doesn't mean that it's gonna work.
It doesn't mean that Chuck's gonna develop better, but I
think it gives him his best chance, and I think
they're gonna I really believe they're gonna do it in
whatever vision they have, And I think that Leash is
going to be dictated not just by wins and losses,
but by like what's happening by on close bores.

Speaker 4: It's a strong maybe.
Speaker 6: I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't the wife be real?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Says that a thing? That a rumor? Yeah? I will
see it's in a pre situation here.
Speaker 9: It's an improvement. I mean, there was not even like.
Speaker 3: A and I don't whatever, I personally do not know.
Speaker 11: No, well, because you know how there's always rumors like, oh,
Aaron Rodgers dating Olivia Munn, like Aaron Rodgers is dating
Shalene Woodley and there's always a rumor. And he just
pops out with a ring on his hand and is like, yeah,
I got married, but there's no.
Speaker 9: Rumor about it. So I find it a little weird.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but no, I'm not saying he has a fake wife.
Speaker 9: I'm not saying maybe I'm married.
Speaker 4: To the game.
Speaker 9: He's married to the game.
Speaker 7: I can't confirm that I have or have none matter.
I just haven't whether I'm assuming real though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're being weird.
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's a hot take.
Speaker 10: What Matt's saying is he wasn't a Brad's maid.
Speaker 4: Was not That was Sorry.
Speaker 9: I feel like I derailed that. But what's the ticket?
I love this game?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: So I give you a set of games, and you
tell me of those games, what's the highest ticket?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: So we're talking about the get in price, all right? Right,
So what's the cost for you to have two feet
inside of the state, and we also give you a
list of games, and you tell me what's the lowest
ticket of the NFL weekend. Now we do this with
college too, but since we've already had Week one, I
think the NFL is fascinating.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a lot. Okay, there's a lot.
Speaker 6: Of about an NFL ticket before.
Speaker 4: Okay, then even better.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll start with the lowest ticket.
Speaker 4: All right? Which of these games?
Speaker 3: Yeah, is the lowest ticket across the National Football League?
Is it the Texans and Rams?
Speaker 10: Where they where they at?
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Dolphins and Colts, that's the one. Bingals and Browns, Bucks
and Falcons are Saints and Cardinals.
Speaker 10: Saints and Cardinals, Browns Bengals is a divisional game, so
it was Bucks Falcons, so that would be a little
bit higher.
Speaker 7: I think it's Saints Cardinals. I do think that it
matters where it is. If the Colts are in Miami, it's.
Speaker 4: That one, alright, Sorry, guys.
Speaker 3: Bucks are at the Falcons, Bengals are at the Browns,
Dolphins are at the Colts, the Cardinals are at the Saints,
the Texans are at the Rams.
Speaker 6: I'll go Texans Rams. Okay.
Speaker 9: The lowest ticket.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm stick at Saints.
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm gonna go Browns Bingles all.
Speaker 3: Right, well Cleveland, Yeah, mistake by the lake. We'll go
from most expensive to least expensive. The most expensive in
that group is the Bingals at the Browns ninety seven dollars,
the Bucks and Falcons eighty three dollars, the Dolphins and
Colts fifty nine dollars, the Texans and Rams forty seven dollars,
and the Saints and Cardinals thirty seven dollars. Thirty seven
dollars will get you inside of the Supernome.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: That's good to know because Hucksman wanted to go to
Saints game. Okay, one, there you go, let's go. You're
not gonna get it any cheaper. The cheapest in the
National Football League, all right? Is the highest ticket across
the NFL. Is it the Cowboys at Eagles? Is it
the Raiders at the Patriots?
Speaker 3: Is it the Steelers at the Jets, the Giants at
the Commanders, the forty nine Ers at the Seahawks, the
Lions at the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 10: I'm gonna go the first one, Cowboys at Philly Philly
defending Super Bowl Champs, Divisional game, Cowboys coming in all.
Speaker 4: Right, same, that's all right?
Speaker 7: Um, I think this one is going to be in Lambeau,
Lions in Green Bay, all right, three twenty five game?
Speaker 4: Yeah, mm hmm, Okay.
Speaker 3: We'll go from the lowest to the highest here, all right.
At one hundred and forty dollars, the Steelers at the Jets,
the Aaron Rodgers, bowlt Giants and Commies one hundred and
seventy eight dollars.
Speaker 4: Two hundred and eight dollars the Raiders and Patriots.
Speaker 3: Remember this is the lowest, take a price to get
into the game, so that's pretty expensive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got the.
Speaker 3: Seahawks forty nine, Ers two hundred and fifteen dollars, Lions
and Packers three hundred and eleven dollars, and at four
hundred dollars, the Cowboys at the Philadelphia Eagles. Yep, four
hundred bones is the cheapest ticket right now.
Speaker 9: That's crazy to.
Speaker 3: Get into the Cowboys and Eagles the opening game of
the NFL.
Speaker 6: They don't even have Michael Parsons.
Speaker 4: They got two first round picks, though it's.
Speaker 6: True hopefully one of those could be like Michael Parsons I.
Speaker 10: Saw the the somebody mentioned the family got thing that
you brought up the other day, so funny one of them.
Speaker 6: It could be about they put.
Speaker 10: Jerry's face on Peter Griffin. It was funny.
Speaker 6: Oh too good?
Speaker 3: Ye how about third bones four hundred dollars and you
in the same sport, you have a thirty seven dollars ticket.
Speaker 6: Oh, a lot of sports cards with that.
Speaker 10: It makes sense, Like the lowest for sure makes sense
because when Jake brought up the top five lowest, like
every one of those matchups, one team is unexcited space
the Cardinals are both on exciting.
Speaker 12: Right, right, true, it's fair they are, but I feel
like good fan bases with both. Yeah, Like, uh so
I went usually I'm always gonna throw an LA team
in there because they got terrible fan bases Miami, terrible
fan base at home. If they would have played in Miami,
that'd be like seventeen dollars to get in to get
in for that game.
Speaker 6: I'm surprised, I actually am. I'm surprised that.
Speaker 3: The Saints is the cheapest, Yeah, because I mean really
good fan base.
Speaker 7: Yeah, first game of the season. I mean there's been
a lot of talk about it because of a quarterback battle.
Speaker 6: People want to get in one.
Speaker 3: I didn't throw in there because I I kind of
wanted to make it a little bit interesting. Panthers and
Jags is even more expensive. Fifty four dollars. You'd have
to pay me to go to Panthers Jags.
Speaker 9: That sounds you'd have to pay me to go to
Saints Cardinals.
Speaker 4: It might be fair.
Speaker 9: Loand you'd have to give me thirty seven dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that might be fair.
Speaker 6: Right. Okay, guys, it's a Saints. We're all Saints fans. Now.
Speaker 4: You don't just because you cover the team, you have
to be a fan of them.
Speaker 9: I think I'm the only actual Saints fan here.
Speaker 6: Callimar was good enough to come on our show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm rooting for.
Speaker 10: She doesn't like them, Yeah, no, wonder Look, I guess if.
Speaker 4: They're not playing the Chargers, I'm definitely gonna root for.
Speaker 7: Maybe fandom is maybe that's a strong word, Maybe that's
more of a heart heart thing. Maybe pulling for them
is like more of a brain thing. So we're gonna
pull for mm hmm. But I'm not going to sleep.
Speaker 4: One ticket pays Dack for about four minutes.
Speaker 6: Four minutes It seems like that's getting off cheap.
Speaker 4: Makes four dollars every four minutes, it's probably.
Speaker 6: About right'd one hundred dollars.
Speaker 10: I don't care anymore.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just went to the bathroom and I saw
on your desk. You got a cowboys cup on your desk.
It's behind them.
Speaker 6: Can we do a video you burning cowboys stuff? Let's
do that. Can we get a little dumpster in the back?
What about it?
Speaker 10: Honestly?
Speaker 4: What about boys?
Speaker 6: Whatever you got, let's burn it.
Speaker 9: Cowboys are burn you.
Speaker 10: At least got a cup. I got one jersey. I
got one jersey. Would you like to guess who it is?
Speaker 9: Let's oh, yeah, you got That'd be so good.
Speaker 11: I got him the Sanders jersey. Yeah, he has a
d on Sanders jersey.
Speaker 7: You can wear that. We got a bunch of cowboys,
base guards and the awful lot of them. We can
burn those.
Speaker 9: Can we burn the jersey while it's on? Taylor?
Speaker 10: Just kidding as we.
Speaker 7: As we adorn you for your brand new Green Bay
Packers jersey.
Speaker 10: At the end of the next week, after I get
out of the hospital with my burns, I'll have my
new jersey.
Speaker 3: All this feels like, Actually.
Speaker 7: When you choose the Packers as your new team of
choice next week. Right, I just explained it to you.
It is the only team that if you ever wanted
to become an owner, you could have an NFL franchise.
Speaker 6: You could become an owner of the Green Bay.
Speaker 10: You were not making bad argument.
Speaker 6: Because you do not like Jerry Jones the way he's
running that organization. Don't take the chance. Just be the
owner of yourself.
Speaker 3: I think Walker, Louisiana is bigger than Green Bay, just
so you kind of fit in.
Speaker 10: I mean you kind of a city slicker up in
green Bay.
Speaker 6: You'd like Green Bay.
Speaker 4: Would like Green Bay.
Speaker 3: I like most places like Brandon, Missouri.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I'm not picky guys like like like everywhere.
Speaker 6: I'm just here.
Speaker 9: Taylor's just here for there.
Speaker 6: I'm just whatever.
Speaker 10: No, green Bay has one hundred and six thousand, Okay,
Walker's got like maybe seven.
Speaker 3: Really, I don't know. I just felt like I throw
a shot at Green Bay. All right, you gotta take
a break when we come back. Yeah, That's what I
thought when I was there. When we come back, we'll
eliminate some more teams for Taylor's fandom.
Speaker 4: And we'll do it right. Here on OTV.

Speaker 9: My shoulder so hurt asking me the wrong question.
Speaker 10: I'll be twenty nine next Thursday, and I'm not looking
forward to Yeah, never forget, never forget ever.
Speaker 7: Do you ever think that you would have a new
NFL team for the majority of your life?
Speaker 6: No, it's pretty wild. Pretty wild.
Speaker 10: I think that's how emotionally damaged I am.
Speaker 6: When you step back.
Speaker 3: And all right, well, let's go ahead and get into it.
Then the NFL Bachelor as we picked Taylor's new NFL team.
Speaker 4: We're in the second round.
Speaker 3: The first round eliminations the Chiefs, the Patriots, the Steelers,
the Seahawks, the Ravens, the Raiders, and the Browns. Now,
let's get to some second round eliminations, taite.
Speaker 10: It's a little bit of a recap. Yesterday we eliminated Chiefs, Patriots, Steelers, Seahawks, Raiders, Ravens,
and the Browns. Big Day yesterday, went on a lot
of bad dates over the weekend.
Speaker 9: We all in there.
Speaker 10: Look, these teams technically made it to round two. Before
I get into them, do any of you have any
suggestions for a team you just do not want eliminated today?
It didn't even have to be your favorite, just the
team that fits me that you think maybe I'm overlooking.
Speaker 7: Well, I think the obvious choice would be, don't eliminate
the Saints.
Speaker 3: You've already eliminated the Raiders. Like, so I'm good, Yeah,
I'm good with you eliminating the Raiders. Great, get them.
Speaker 9: Out of there, Saints fan.
Speaker 11: But I think that if he wants a different team
from the Cowboys, he needs.
Speaker 9: To eliminate the Saints. We're getting to Cowboys territory. With
the ownership, the way the Yeah team is managed.
Speaker 7: I think you could probably chalk it up to everybody
in the NFC East is out for you, Like I
would say.
Speaker 4: You mean the Commanders, Daniels.
Speaker 6: You can spent your whole life cheering against these people.
Speaker 4: The Redskins, not the Commanders.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: A couple of years cheering against the Commander two.
Speaker 6: All right, all right, so I went on the board
for Saints one of them.
Speaker 7: DA don't eliminate the Saints that well, I mean, you
can your lest just saying, I know it's the lowest
ticket price this week.
Speaker 11: I was just giving you a counter argument to the Saints.
Speaker 10: I've had people in the chat today say do not
eliminate the Lions and Titans, which is interesting choices. But
I will say neither of those teams have been elimited.
Speaker 4: Would make a lot of sense being in Nashville.
Speaker 10: That is the team that people have recommended to me
the most.
Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, I mean is a big Baker Mayfield fan?
Speaker 6: Y is? I am?
Speaker 4: It could be Tampa Bay.
Speaker 10: I'm a big Baker Mayfield fan. But I love the
city of Nashville too, And if I ever wanted to
go and like see a game, I know where the
stadium is already familiar with it. So the Titans makes
a little sense too.
Speaker 7: I also think if you want to like keep it
in you know, you could keep it in the lone
star state town that's easily accessible. With the Texans organization,
that seems a little bit more stable.
Speaker 10: Young quarterbacks, young quarterback of talent, A lot of talent
you just got there.
Speaker 6: So that is that is my son's team of choice
right now?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the closest team outside of the Saints.
Speaker 10: None of the teams, none of the teams we have mentioned,
will be eliminated today. How about that.
Speaker 4: Well, let's hear who's eliminated today in the second round.
Speaker 10: The Philadelphia Eagles are out. I just can't do it.
I've cheered against them my entire life, and let's just
go ahead and mention it. Every team from that division
has been eliminated today. Eagles, Giants, Commander's gone. Love Jaden Daniels,
but again, I've just I've spent my life hating these teams.
Speaker 6: The Steelers. Yesterday, I knew that the NFC was going
to be right.
Speaker 10: I mean it's it's It's just gone, and everybody in
the boot will be happy. The Atlanta Falcons have been eliminated.
Speaker 9: I mean we have.
Speaker 10: We have picked on them relentlessly. I already get picked
on from being a Cowboys fan. I would just be
one punch line to the other. Don't need that right now.
The Indianapolis Colts have been eliminated. I mean, they didn't
do anything to me personally. But I saw how they've
treated see how they've treated their other significant others. I
was a big Peyton Manning fan. They bailed on Peyton
Manning when he needed them the most. How do I
know they're not going to bail on me? The Indianapolis
Colts is out. I need stability, I need support emotionally.
They were not there for Peyton, which means they're not
going to be there for me. So unfortunately, the Indianapolis
Colts have been eliminated and the final team today no Jews,
nothing fun about them. Don't like their quarterback. The Arizona
Cardinals are out, all right. The Arizona Cardinals are out.
So Eagles, Giants, Commanders, Falcons, Colts, Cardinals. We are now
down to eighteen teams, right.
Speaker 7: Smart, Like once you get out of a bad relationship,
not going back to another. It's smart. Sometimes you got
to play it safe. You can't enter into a toxic relationship.
Speaker 6: There's too many unknowns.
Speaker 10: Times they've they've been nice to meet, other times little Moody.
Never know what you're gonna get with the Cardinals. So
I can't I can't do it. I need a little
bit more stability.
Speaker 3: Uh, you're looking for stability. Once you go to Rous's
dot com. Stability there so stable Ross's markets. Check out

their age gap. That was a really good one.
Speaker 3: God dies Tata is the only person from Louisiana on OTV.
Speaker 4: He should choose the Saints. Oh Man, Scott, I've never
heard that one before.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that seems like a shot at James.
Speaker 4: That is new. Gosh, it's profound.
Speaker 6: Well you're not.
Speaker 4: I never heard that before. Oh man.
Speaker 3: I don't know why these guys from North Louisiana keep
going other places.
Speaker 6: I wonder.
Speaker 7: Ummm, hey, I read a story today. You what you
wrote a story. No, I definitely didn't write a story,
that's what you said. Now, I read a story read
trying to pull it up here on one of the
most relatable stories. I can imagine the University of Colorado
released a statement today that their mascot, Ralphie the sixth
is retiring due to an indifference to running. In a quote,
due to an indifference to running typical of many mammals,
both four legged and two legged. It was determined it
was in Imber's best interest based on her disposition to
focus on relaxing strolls on the pasture, which is her
favorite hobby. It has two names, apparently, but how relatable
is that? Just an absolute indifference to running? Good for
her or respect whatever whatever that name is. But the Yeah,
the bison in Colorado retired because it doesn't want to run.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't the segment where we bring up stories
before we answer questions.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I need to get that off my chest.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I asked the bitch. Alabama's has win total same
segment eight and four.
Speaker 10: It's a different segment is seven five, eight and four?
Because I kind of thought in three, but I thought
they'd beat Florida State.
Speaker 3: Seven and five, Drew says, put Ralphie and Mike together,
I bet he runs.
Speaker 6: Did y'all see the point?
Speaker 11: I forgot which one it was. Did y'all see the
mascot whose head flew off. He starts running back into
the locker room. Dedication respect.
Speaker 12: I like it that the Oregon duck is good whoever
whoever does, except where his head falls off.
Speaker 3: Actually he was good, though, because he got back in
the locker room pretty quick.
Speaker 6: Never break.
Speaker 4: I didn't see it either.
Speaker 3: Ben mcgump says, eight and four sounds hopeful. I mean
they'll find some wins. They're gonna lose four games, though,
you're gonna be eight and four.
Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to hump Day way better than Tuesday Taco.
Speaker 4: Tuesday hearts.
