Nothing to say, yet
Two friends are starting a sports podcast focusing on North Carolina sports. They discuss the current state of UNC basketball and their optimism for the team. They mention the disappointment of last season and the changes that have been made. They also discuss the potential of the team and the strong performances from the players. They express excitement for the upcoming games and the overall potential of North Carolina sports. I'll be here. I'm probably just going to go off camera. No problem. I'll be right here if you guys need anything. Why am I getting nervous? We're just talking, brother. I know. All right. You ready? Ready. Yeah, maybe I might just listen in on this one because my recording is fucking up. All good. All good. You're good, man. Yeah, because you kind of said it. You can kind of get the feel of what we're doing and stuff. And then, yeah. Well, this is just practice. It's our first time ever, so we're just going to go with it. Have fun. Yeah. Humphrey, let's stop recording and redo it again. All right, Owen. Just my suggestion. There you go. Okay. Welcome, everybody. This is the Podhead Podcast, and today this is our sports segment that we're going to, you know, try and get out of the way for our first time. My name is Alex Smith, or Smithers, what the plebeians call me. I'm here with my best bud, Kyle Humphrey, who is probably the most knowledgeable sports guy, fan, anything you can think this guy knows about. So we figured this would be a good opportunity to introduce ourselves, kind of like what teams we like, where we're from. We're from the state of North Carolina, so, you know, got to love our Carolina team. Me and him personally, hard hill fans, unfortunately Carolina Panthers fans. But I'm also born and raised in Georgia. So you see, you know, the GOAT flag behind me, back to Bacchinati titles. We got jibbed this year, but we'll talk about that some other time. But, yeah, today for our first, you know, our first little attempt at this, we wanted to kind of talk about the state of North Carolina sports in general, kind of see, you know, where we're at, the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are all three of that in this one state alone. And then we'll kind of, you know, go from there and get into some more specific, you know, NFL predictions for this weekend. We got some good games hopefully coming up. And then from there, you know, we're going to maybe hop into some NBA if we have some time. But we wanted to focus on our North Carolina sports and some of the football coming up, and we think that'll be a good topic to talk about. So I'll let Humphrey kind of take it away here, introduce himself if he wants. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That was an awesome intro. Yeah, you said all that, and I'm glad you threw in the Georgia thing in the background because that's literally all that you have posted. I have nothing, so I've got to add something. But, yeah, you know, we're North Carolina boys at heart. I wouldn't say I'm the smartest sports person. I would say I'm more, I probably am very obsessed is a good word, passionate. Yeah, absolutely. But, yeah, no, just happy to be here, happy to have a place where we can get our takes off, get our opinions off. So, yeah, let's get into it, man. I know we wanted to talk about the North Carolina sports first. So we'll go ahead and get with UNC Smithers, man. We're 13-3. Got a game, honestly, probably about to tip off here very shortly against Louisville, 5-0 in the conference, going for 6-0, literally a 180 from last year. I know you and some of the other guys went to North Carolina, you know, so you guys have an even more different perspective than I do. But it's just like you guys know firsthand like how crazy it can get, like, just on campus when things are going bad and just like all the stories, rumors, all that stuff. I'm so glad it's passed us. The boys are playing well. I don't know. What has stuck out from like your perspective for Carolina this year? I mean, you kind of hit on it. So last year was the biggest, I would say, like swing of just pure disappointment that I've ever seen in a team. Being preseason number one and not making the freaking NIT. I mean, that should be illegal in any sport, but we won't get into that. I think we know the reasons why. It's because of all the drama that happened last year. And you got one, you got rid of the common denominator, and now look at it this year. I mean, they're playing just like they're a freaking team. It's not a bunch of individuals out there just throwing the ball, and I don't know. But I just feel like that was the biggest difference was kind of having that clean slate start, and that was almost scary at first, you know, when we had everybody, you know, the people that transferred that did. A lot of uncertainty. A lot of uncertainty. A lot of uncertainty. But I don't know. They come out of the gates ready to go this season with all that bull crap behind them, like he said. And, yeah, they're looking freaking phenomenal to start. I mean, 13-3, haven't lost an ACC yet. Number four in the country right now. Yeah. Looking real promising. It's tough not to get ahead of yourself right now because it's like the team's like – because, like, you also – I think that's why I'm not getting ahead of myself is because, like, you saw what happened last year, and you saw, like, it can just – from the year before, it can just turn into instant. So, yeah, I don't know. Like, I think, number one, Hubert's done a phenomenal job. Like, I think people had a lot to say about him in general. Like, the dude took over for Roy Williams. Like, legendary. I don't understand how anybody can have any – like, and guess what. Like, whether or not the first half of the season was ugly or not, he took the team to the Final Four, to the National Championship game. So, like, in his first year, it's like you can't – obviously, he knows what he's doing. It's just like last year, it just – for whatever reason, we will never know. We hear all the rumors. We hear all the stories. Like, you know, us living in North Carolina, we get all the local reporters saying this and that. Like, we'll – we never know because we weren't in the locker room. But, yeah, it's been night and day. It's so much fun. They're – like, the transfers are mixing well with everybody. They have a good – like, they have a good recruiting class next year, but they had a really, really good recruiting class this year. I mean, it's just – it's been really good, which actually, you know, it's actually leading up to, like, kind of like – it's kind of filling, like, the end of – like, kind of like how that March Madness run was two years ago. That's what, honestly, the season's kind of like because Duke is, like, no one – like, Duke hasn't, like, I don't think wowed anybody. Like, Carolina's had more highs than Duke this year. But, like, Duke's quietly won eight in a row as well. And they have the same exact record. They're only a half game back in – or a full game back in conference. Like, they're just as good. I think they're seven right now. Yeah. Like, they're – it just kind of – it kind of feels like we're just on a collision course. And, like, everybody will overreact next week or two weeks from now when they play each other. And then it doesn't really matter. Like, those games matter so much but also matter very little because, like, it just – you never know – you never know how it's going to go at all. But I just feel like this year it's running through the ACC – like, the ACC is running through Chapel Hill and Duke. So it's very – it's like you want to get excited but you know, like, nothing really hasn't gone too bad yet. Yeah. So let's temper our – let's temper our expectations and just – and take the good right now and just keep on moving. But, yeah. Like, I would hate that they were, like, eating too early. But this team just doesn't seem like they're going to – it just seems like they're going to play like this all year. Like, I haven't seen, like, one thing that's – I don't know. Have you seen anything that might be worse from down the road? Like – I personally think – You didn't even think. No, I think – I think you're right. Like, you know, you know me. I'm very, like, glass half empty with them. Like, always. Oh, yeah. It all changes when the ball tips. But, you know, it's glass half empty outside of that. But it's one of those things where I think they can get so much better. I think they know they can get so much better. Like, people forget they're starting point guards are freshmen. That's 17 years old. He should be a senior in high school. Like, he's – and, like, he's starting to play better and better, you know, as the season goes along, as anybody would. You know, like, he's starting to get into the rhythm. Like, and I think what's happening, too, is, like, you're seeing all the transfers. Like, we saw, like, one lineup start out of the year, and now it's already Paxton's out of the lineup. But he knows his role now. Like, and Jalen Withers knows his role. Like, I think everybody knows their role, and I think they've bought in. Like, I really do. Like, it's – you know, it could all change, you know. And injuries, you know, you never know what's going to happen with that. But, I mean, there's a reason to not be optimistic about, like, moving forward with them. Like, they can only get better. Yeah, and then, I mean, you have Armando and RJ leading them, you know, the upperclassmen leading them as well. And, I mean, those two are dogs. Like, I could watch them play. And they were, like, our best two last year. And I think if we had them leading the team without someone else involved, we would have been great last year. But I can just tell they're stepping it up this year. And, yeah, like, these transfers and the young guys all together just seem to be doing so well. Yeah. And, I mean, I know you haven't addressed them, but Kayla Love, like, I mean, but you know what? Yeah. Arizona's pretty good, too. Arizona's doing pretty – it's kind of like the breakup kind of worked for both – for everybody, you know. Yeah, it worked. But, I mean, you know, like I said, we'll never know what happened last year, but I'm just glad we're on a better path this year. The ACC is kind of – it's looking like there's, like, certain tiers to it right now. But I think, you know, Duke and Carolina, it's really cool because, like, they're back – it kind of feels like they're back to, like, being that top tier and then everybody else is kind of fighting for that, you know, that third, fourth, and fifth place, you know. It's really cool. Yeah. Really, really cool. Well, what about – so do you think Wake or NC State, are they – what's their potential this year? And also, NC State – hold on, let me – are they the dudes who did the double birdies last night for the refs? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it just – you know, I mean, it just – I don't have to say too much besides, like, you know, their football coach, you know, had something to say about Carolina, you know, like, for no reason, just calling them pieces of shit and stuff like that, part of my language. And then – and then, like – and then you got, you know, Keats was on, like, halfway – like, he was pretty much on half court yelling at the refs, got ejected with three minutes left in the first half. Like, you know, they're talented, like, and it's – I love that. That's also very cool about this year is, like, Wake and State are also kind of, like, right outside that Carolina. And, like, you know, like, Wake is a team I'm terrified of. Like, you know, like, we've seen – we've already beat State at State. Like, you know, that was a kind of a choppy game, you know. They just – they just were in their head mentally whenever we played there. But, yeah, Wake's talent – Wake's as talented as anybody in ACC. They got two guys that are on big – you know, big boards for NBA this year. You know, they – Hunter Salas, who is number – he was one of the guys that got ejected last night at the very end of it. But he's – I think he's their leading scorer, their second leading scorer. And then their big guy, Efton Reed, he's their center. He's, like, on some – he's, like, late – you know, late second round. Like, more likely he goes undrafted. He's more of, like, a prospect type. He's very raw. But Hunter Salas is definitely a versatile wing that will probably play for a while in the NBA. I mean, it's all about fit. But, you know. Yeah, I feel like Wake always – they have at least, like, one or two guys maybe every year that could fit somewhere in the league. But I don't know. You kind of say it. There are tiers to it. Because when it comes to, like, those, they're still, like – I don't know if they'll ever escape that tier when you got UNC and Duke and – I mean, just those two schools to compete with in the conference. Like, it's just going to be tough. And especially all being in the same state, like, getting recruits that, you know, aren't going to go to Duke and Carroll, I know, like, I'm sorry, you're not going to be left with the, you know, the top tier. You're going to have to go for a little lower down. And what I love about it is, like, to kind of put a bow on all of this and why, like, we are so – like, being in North Carolina and ACC country, why we're so invested in basketball and why it's so much fun is, like, we talk about all this and we haven't even mentioned Florida State, a game we went to, and South Carolina had that, like, 21-0 run to, like, pretty much put away the game, like, come back and put away the game. They're second in the conference. Like, you know, it's – Yeah, they're good. So, it's crazy because, like, it shows anybody can be anybody. Carolina's probably going to drop some of this shit and win some, you know, who knows. But, you know, we'll see. But, yeah, I know we wanted to talk about – no, you're good. I know we wanted to talk about the Hornets a little bit. There's not much to talk about. I was going to say, now we're getting into the bad and the ugly part of NBA sports. Yeah, yeah, we got the good part of the way. Now we're going to – we're slowly – we're kind of hitting middle ground because Hornets, you know, if you don't live in North Carolina, like, they exist. They exist. They're an entertainment source. If you like basketball, you can always go catch a good player on another team because they don't really have many. But, no, I would love the Hornets to be good. But, you know, they're going over – I think Michael Jordan finally kind of relinquishing, like, a lot of his power is going to pay off good long term. I just, you know, I think, you know, LeBron might even be the same way. It's hard for those greats to be good GMs because they're so great. You know, they try to compare everybody to themselves and to their teams and stuff like that. It's hard to do that. So, I think you're going to see, like, if they can, like, this new ownership group, if they can get, like, a plan moving forward, I think you're going to start to see a little bit of a turnaround there. They have a lot of good pieces that they can get off of, you know, their contract and flip for assets and stuff like that. They just always curse. They just feel cursed. Like, they really do. I mean, because it seems like whenever things are going good, which is not I'm saying going good, like, they start out, like, five and two or something to start the season. But then, like, what was it, LaMelo two or last year just broke in hand or something. Like, some injury to a key player always just, you know, pretty much takes them out of the season to start. But even still, I feel like even down the road, like, lately, like, later on in the season, the Hornets just never had it. They just never had it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you already mentioned it. Like, LaMelo is the key to their whole kind of, like, moving forward just because they gave them that deal this offseason. So. What was that? So, it's a rookie match extension. It's, like, where you're drafted and slotted. It has to do with, like, where you're slotted, like, where you're drafted, the milestones you hit, like, you know, as regards, like, he already made an all-star game. So, he got boosted for that because he had his really good year, like, his really good first year, second year. He got, he made an all-star game and whatnot. So, he got, he got that, he got a rookie match extension option. So, they picked that up. Everybody, everybody offers it to any, anybody they draft in the, anybody you draft in the lottery, you're more than likely going, unless they were a huge bust, like, an Anthony Beden type person. Usually, everybody gets it. You know what I'm saying? Like, Jay, not Jay, Jason got it for the Celtics. You know, I think Zion got it. Zion got it for the Pelicans or is going to get it. I can't remember what year he came in or what exact contract, but I know he would be someone similar to LaMelo who's, like, they both have had injury issues, but their value is known, like, when they're healthy, you know, so you're going to give it to them. But, yeah. Do you think LaMelo is, like, the new, pretty much the franchise player for them? I think him and Brandon Miller, the guy that got, like, Brandon Miller is doing good this year. He's having, he's putting on some good stats, you know, especially for a rookie. If it wasn't, you know, he, any, in, like, a, you know, an average year of rookies, like, if you didn't have Chet, who is actually in the second year eligible as a rookie, and Wimby, who's, you know, a unicorn, you, and you would have, like, and Jaime Jaquez, you know, for the Heat who went to the perfect team. You, if you, like, if, like, you had, like, a normal year, just your average year, he might be in the running for, like, rookie of the year. He's not going to be because he's got so many good, the top is very, very, very good. Those top three are very good, and I would, I would even drop Jaime out of there and just put Wimby and Chet. Wimby and Chet. Yeah. Yeah, they're, they're unreal, unreal. But, yeah, and I wrote, I wrote down the, because I know we kind of talked about this before, I wrote down the, something that's been floating around for the Hornets is, like, they've been talking about Terry, trading Terry Regier, your boy Scary Terry. So, yeah, like, yeah, so, like, they, so I think, I think you're going to see them off, I think what they should do is they should offload Hayward and Terry this year. It just, it's, like, you're not going anywhere this year. You know, you got to, you have to at least put yourself in position through, like, picks to be able to build. Like, you have to. Like, you know, it kind of leads in perfectly to our next disaster, I mean, disaster of an organization in Charlotte. Our one and only Carolina Panthers. I'm going to let you, I'm going to let you give your opinion because you know I'm a, like, Tar Heels, basketball number one, Panthers is, like, right there. And then everybody else is kind of, like, I love them, but they're kind of, like, below a little bit. And this Panthers team has got me just, I'm hopeless. I'm hopeless. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, so, I guess, yeah, a little background because people might think I might be a Falcons fan, but we always cheered for Georgia growing up, not really the Falcons, but we moved up to North Carolina, you know, you're surrounded by Panthers fans. I fell in love with the culture, so always a huge Panthers fan every year. Hold on, hold on, quick, quick. I'm going to quickly interject you. I want it on record that the first time I ever met him, he was actually wearing a Peyton Manning Colts jersey. So, he's actually – so, we always clowned him about being a Colts fan. So, but no, so there's – is absolutely a Carolina Panthers fan. No, dude, back in those days, I wasn't a fan of the NFL team, I was a fan of players, but I had Peyton Manning jerseys, I had a Michael Vick jersey, like, I I consider myself, you know, a Peyton Manning or a Michael Vick growing up, but no, no, yeah, I can't. You wore that everywhere. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. I thought it was the coolest thing. Dude, that was like the perfect time where everybody, like, and we all wore jerseys, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it wasn't, like, you know, whenever we got a little older in high school, like, it was like tacky day, you had a jersey day or something like that, but like, no, that was in middle school, we were wearing jerseys to school. It was funny. It was funny. Yeah, yeah, so the Panthers. I don't know, this year was rough. So, from the get-go, when we decided to trade up all those picks for the number one pick, and for some reason, everyone was so set, it's got to be Bryce, it's got to be Bryce. For me, personally, and I've said this going in, I'm like, Bryce Young is a great college quarterback, and he did pretty well in the pros this year, maybe if he had some help around him. I just don't think, my personal, you know, opinion, that he is a franchise QB based on what I've seen. Like, I thought someone a little more, a little bigger, a little more physical would be better for us. Like, I was even saying Anthony Richardson at one point, but we would have probably killed him game two or something like that, overrunning him. He already did. Yeah, he got killed by another team, but either way. But, no, so, of course, at the beginning of the season, I was like, I was still skeptical. I'm like, all right, we have Bryce, we don't really have too much talent around him. I mean, we got rid of CMC. Like, after that, it's just, you know, it's kind of slim pickings, and we have friends, you know, that obviously can carry him. We should have taken CJ in hindsight, and I'm like, how good would CJ have done with the same unit around him? Like, you know, CJ's running a completely different office in Houston with that receiving floor around him. Like, he has an actual good line in front of him. I think it's like apples and oranges. So, you know, at the end of the day, I think Bryce did the best that he could with what he was given. I mean, he had his rookie mistakes. He's got to grow and develop into this league, and I think he could maybe one day become a good quarterback in the league. He's just got to, you know, develop. But we went to that one Monday night game when they played the Saints, and we looked at each other probably 20 times saying, dude has no one to throw the ball to. Like, Bryce is literally sitting there in the pocket doing this. No one's open. And I just think that kind of summarizes up, like, what he had to work with around him. And you can probably go into even more, you know, players besides just Bryce Young that might be good or might be a problem. But that's just what I think. I mean, I think, you know, you know where I stand. I think with this team, you can't even judge what's going on in the field. Like, first of all, we never should have got Frank right. I think we all know, like, kind of what's, you know, or most people know, like, that fall of football, like, you know, what's going on up until, like. So, I'm just going to start from, like, this year. Just, like, you, one, you should have never hired Frank right. He was, he told, he's done everything to show you that he's not above 500 coaching the league. Like, he's made his back, he made his back on one, like, miracle run by Nick Foles. And that's literally how he got, like, the Colts gig and how, you know, everything, and then so on. And it's just, like, Tepper, Tepper just, for whatever reason, chose him. I think really, honestly, if you hit him with some truth serum, he got him because he was someone who would always say yes to Tepper. And, two, he thought that because he was the first quarterback for this franchise that some people felt some type of, like, you know, loyalty to him and had some, like, you know, when a lot of these people that are paying money for these games, like, are people that were, like, five years or, like, five years old or younger whenever that happened. You know what I'm saying? It's just, like, we, it's just very out of touch. It just, for me, it's, you can't judge anybody that's on the field. Do I think Bryce Young's terrible? Absolutely not. I don't. I don't. And I think he's capable of winning this league. I think he's shown you that he, because one thing he gets to be, I know, like, I never played, like, I didn't play past, you know, Pop Warner, like, but I know people that play football that have been in football, taught people, you know, what they say is, like, to be successful in national football league, you have to throw over the middle. That's something that you can't say that Bryce hasn't done. Bryce, like, he makes good reads. He makes quick throws over the middle. Like, does his receivers catch it a lot? No. Or whatever he was. Caught everything. Yeah. D-Lin's the only one, bless his heart, I mean, dude's, like, 40 years old, just, like, I mean, he would, like, some games he had to, like, just, I couldn't imagine how his body felt between leagues, like, because he was getting lit up, too. My man is hurting right now. And honestly, that's, like, one of the most impressive things about Bryce is, like, you know, CJ, like, I know Bryce sat out one game for, like, a sprained ankle, but CJ missed, like, two games for, I'm pretty sure for a concussion or one game. I can't remember exactly. But it feels like for as much as Bryce got hit and as much as CJ didn't get hit, you know, you could argue, like, Bryce held up probably better. So, you know, I think my fear with Bryce is that, one, we bet a lot on him. You know, whether we could argue till the cows come home of whether it was the right decision, whether we should have taken CJ or not. You know, I personally. So much for him. Yeah. That's what I'm like. And I personally think, like, all those stories that we hear from these local reporters are true. Like, I don't, first of all, I don't see why they have a reason to lie. Second of all, like, you know, everything that pointed to us taking CJ, like, hiring Frank Wright was one because he was very open, you know, about CJ Stroud before the whole process. And then Josh McCown literally trained CJ Stroud the two years prior. Like, in the offseason, Josh, and that's who we brought in for quarterback coach. So, it just didn't. And just so taking Bryce Young is just was a, it was a curveball thrown in by Tepper at the very end. He won't convince me otherwise. I don't know if I'm wrong. Don't know if I'm right. But you can't convince me I'm not. So, what's your take on that? He just, like, literally just pulled an executive decision. Yeah. Like, why would he want Bryce over CJ? That's what I don't understand. I think we've been given every reason to believe, like, what he's telling us, and that he is a micromanager, egotistical guy. Like, and everything is going to run through him. And, like. He's egotistical, dude. The guy that threw a drink on a fan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was putting it mildly. I was putting it mildly. I mean, how long do you think they give? I mean, does Tepper have a timeline to where, like, we can get rid of him? Or is he in too much power we can't get rid of him? No. Dude, that's the thing about ownership. You can't do anything. It's all. Yeah, it's his money. Yeah, it's his money. The only way he can be removed from power is if he steps down or if, like, and sells the team or if the owners vote him out. And that's, I guess, not out of the possibility because, I mean, like, he's, one, already tried to rob a city blind. And, two, he's throwing drinks on fans. He did something else. He did one more thing, too. Oh, yeah, just, like, you know, throwing temper tantrums outside of the locker rooms. It's, like, it's just not. He's not representing the Shield well. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's not. So maybe he's on that path. I don't know. But they all do. All those owners have, you know, they all have their faults or their, you know, they all do scummy things. So, you know, you got to take. They do no wrong, either, because they're such a powerful. You just have to hope, honestly, right now. Well, first of all, one draft, one person, you know, the right hire. You know what I'm saying? Do I trust him to make the right hire? But, like, one piece could just set it all back in motion, you know. But the micromanaging piece is one thing. But you got to hope that the guy just, like, finally has heard enough, you know, slander on his name, on the franchise, that he's just, like. Because the dude's obviously smart. He's got money. He's been very successful. Like, he's obviously smart. But it's just. And I'm not. Because one thing you can't say is, like, I believe him when he says he really wants to win. I do. The problem is, is he's not understanding. He hasn't understood that his way of doing it his way. Like, because he doesn't know football and, like, doing it his way, it's not going to work out. And so until he learns that, you know, it's kind of like we've got to hope and pray that we get, like, a draft class or, like, the coach we hire, like, just. And it could. It very well could. You never know. Like, it changes year to year. Like, the Texans won two games last year or a game last year, you know. Yeah. But I'm just not. I'm not looking forward to our draft next year considering no first round. Yeah. I saw an article today that people were talking about taking a wide receiver in the second round. I'm just like, yeah, I guess, like, to get open. But the dude was getting put on his butt, like, coming out of his draft every play. So I think you've got to. Yeah, you've got to get alignment. And, like, you can go out and, like, you've got to go out and actually. If you're going to. Don't give $6, $8 million to Miles Sanders. Go out and give $6, $8 million to a wide receiver, you know. Like, go out and give. Like, if you want. Running backs. I've always told you this. Running backs, I would just keep recycling them. Like, you can find a running back. Like, you know, we know it in fantasy. Like, how often, you know, are we reaching for, like, running backs in fantasy unless their name is Christian McCaffrey. Like. Yeah. Like, you know, they're, you know, Devon A-chain, you know, didn't get drafted in a lot of leagues. You know, like, all these waiver wire people that we picked up. Like, running backs are just. They're. You can find them everywhere. But if you want receivers in fantasy, you've got to actually pay for them. Don't go out and get almost 40-year-old Adam Thielen and expect him to put up, you know, 1,500 yards. And don't go out and get D.J. who hasn't. Who's been a wide receiver three on every team that he's ever been on and expect him to be a wide receiver one. Because it's not going to happen. It's just not. You're living in a fantasy land. So. Yeah. And if you do that, you'll go 2-15 and call it a day. But, I mean, we can. I don't know. We can discuss it all we want. But it's. Yeah. At least the dumpster fire season's over. Who are the two teams we beat? The Saints. Did we beat the Saints? No. We beat the. I forget it now, too. The. Jesus. Because it didn't even matter. We actually beat the Texans. We beat C.J. Shaw and the Texans. And we beat the Falcons. Okay. The Falcons. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So. Bryce's best game we lost to the Packers. Transition. I know we. I think, you know, we're kind of running out of time here. So, I think we want to wrap up real quick, you know, with NFL playoffs. I think. Let's talk about fun NFL stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, leading into that, you know, the Green Bay Packers playing the San Francisco Giants this weekend. What. Who. Who you got? Niners. You got. You got Niners? I think me and you. I think we voluntarily need to have 49ers anyways. Very much. But, yeah. So, I mean. I don't know. I'm scared. I'm scared of Jordan Love. Green Bay, yeah. Green Bay is on fire right now. They're playing. You find a hot quarterback. You find a hot quarterback in a team that just, like, starts bleeding. Like. You never know. Like. I mean, just look at the team. He's got Aaron Jones. He's got solid wide receivers. They looked amazing against the Cowboys. Like. They. Like. Like you were saying, though. Dime. He looked. He looked like Aaron Rodgers. Like. I thought. I thought I was watching Aaron Rodgers. Like. He was sliding. He was sliding in the pocket. I mean. He's just. The way. They throw, like, almost the same, too. They throw, like, that kind of, like, three. They, like, look the same. It's weird. It's weird. Yeah. But, even that. I don't know. I would still say the Niners. Even with my. I would still say the Niners. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
