On today's part of my take, we have a twofer for the people. We have AL Cy Young winner, Tarek Skubal. Awesome interview with him. And then we have future and former Jets head coach, Rex Ryan, talking ball. We're going to do week 12 weekend picks and preview. We have Thursday night football to discuss, which was almost the most Steelers game ever. And then the Browns and Jameis in the snow.
Found a way. We're going to finish with Firefest of the week. I think we have some business, too, from our president, Pug. So that will be in Firefest. Doesn't Pug have to speak to the people? Max, doesn't he? He's got some business.
Yeah, I didn't know that you knew about the business.
I don't know the business. I just know Pug is planning on speaking. State of the pod. State of the pod. State of the pod.
Okay, real talk. My sleep number smart bed has totally upgraded my sleep. My sleep number setting is 70. And being able to adjust the firmness anytime, it's perfect. Especially since my partner's setting is way different than mine. We each get what we need. No compromises. It's no wonder 80% of NFL players sleep on a sleep number smart bed. These guys take recovery seriously.

Today is Friday, November 22nd, and goddammit, PFT, I didn't know that my life was incomplete, but it is now complete because I get to watch Jameis Winston play football in the snow.
The horse is preparing for battle, but victory comes from the Lord. Yes. Jameis Winston, November 21st, 2024. Horses don't really prepare for battle. Oh, horses do.
Horses know. Oh, no. Horses are like, what the fuck? Why the hell am I here? No, a good horse. I wish I was running in a race or just in a field somewhere. A good horse knows. Like, you know, a good horse knows when it's going to race, right? Yeah, I don't know. Horses are like, fuck this, man. I don't want to get stabbed by something.
No, I think if you have a horse that's got a dog in it, it knows.
Yeah, so we got to watch Jameis play in the snow. It was for the fourth quarter, it was going to be the most Steelers shit possible. And by that, I mean they looked like dog water for the entire first half. Their offense couldn't do anything. Then they get a touchdown. Then they get a fumble. Then they get another touchdown. You're like, holy shit.
We like just continuing the conversation of the Pittsburgh Steelers every single year where it's like, I don't, I think they're good, but I don't think they're good, but they're really good.
I think they're really good still, but we saw this coming on Sunday night when we talked, when we did the pod, we said Thursday night against the Browns let down. Now, by the time the weekend actually rolled around at that point, I flipped back on myself and thought maybe the Steelers can do it. But, yeah, classic letdown spot. This is the Browns Super Bowl. And also, shout out to the lake. Yeah.

Chapter 3: How did Tarik Skubal's season go?
But, yeah, simultaneously, like the most Pittsburgh shit ever. And also the most brown shit ever in that fourth quarter. Jameis with what appeared to be a back-breaking interception. I don't know if he could see the Pittsburgh defensive players. They were wearing white jerseys and white-out conditions. He was making crazy throws, scrambling out of the pocket. His helmet was falling apart.
And then at one point, he just kind of didn't see a defensive player like old-school Jameis. Hit him with a perfect pass. But it was a great game. It was a lot of fun to watch.
Yeah, he was full Jameis with the scramble for the touchdown, then the interception, which we all saw coming. Jameis, when he throws an interception, he builds up the confidence to throw it in that he will almost throw an interception on a couple plays in a row, and then he'll be like, all right, now I'm ready. I'm just going to throw the interception now. He's like, all right, can I do this?
Can I do this? Yeah, I'm going to throw the interception. I agree with the weather. They're trying to take this from us. This is what they're trying to take from us. The Kurt Warners of the world. The Pete Priscos of the world. Our good friend Pete Prisco decided to do the football in the elements sucks tweet. Then close his replies. Sad stuff from our guy Pete Prisco.
We got to remember to bring that up next time. That game was awesome. And the winter and the snow was awesome. I'm going to push back a little bit on the Steelers being really good. I don't know if they are. I think they're good.
I think that the Steelers in a normal home game, as opposed to an away game in the snow, it's different. It's different. But explain this.
Their offense looked like shit in the first half. There was no snow. They did look like shit in the first half. And I just don't know. Russell Wilson can do some things, but I also am just... I don't know. I don't know if I trust them. You know what it is? And I know they can beat the Ravens because they always beat the Ravens.
Well, Dan Orlovsky says that you can't beat the Ravens kicking only field goals. Yeah. So I don't know if they can. Yeah, that's true. It's a mystery. I think what the root of my thinking that the Steelers are really good is is the fact that they've had just terrible-looking offenses the last couple years.
And we've all thought to ourselves with this defense and some of the pieces they have on offense – If they just get good quarterback play, they'll be an awesome team. And now for the most part, I don't think that Russell Wilson is a bad quarterback. I think he's probably average, maybe a little bit above average. And he loves throwing the ball to George Pickens, keeps him involved.

Chapter 4: What insights did Rex Ryan share about coaching?
Memes, you're wearing a Russian hat today? You look good. You look crazy. You look like you're in Fargo. You're going to put a body in a wood chipper.
This is a part of my take hat. Yeah, we sell it.
Oh, I like that. Let me see the flat. The blue one.
Oh, that's a cool one. Those are nice.
Those are nice.
That's the guy that you see and you think to yourself, like, I might be in danger. That's why I feel so bad about threatening him.
You haven't shown the part of my take side. Oh, there we go. Oh, that is a cool hat. Is it in the store still? Probably not. Okay, I want one of those. Yeah, so memes, the worst is yet to come. There's going to be more stuff. The worst is yet to come. The walls tell me. It's not me. Okay, next game. Vikings at Bears. Bears plus three and a half over under 39 and a half.
I'm very nervous about this game because Brian Flores feels like he's going to fuck shit up. The good news is he's been blitzing less the last couple weeks. Yeah, I mean, you can't keep up blitzing forever because you eventually got to get a pass rush home with four.
Russia in the wintertime will catch up to you.

Chapter 5: What is the Fyre Fest of the Week?
Tyler Huntley to Tua.
Bigger upgrade.
Jacoby was a fine quarterback, good guy. Fine guy. No. What was the stat you had the other day? It was like most passes went off interception or something?
Like lowest interception rate?
There also was a Thursday night football game where you guys said, is Jacoby Brissett the guy? I'll never forget that. We started off the show. Browns. Today is blah, blah, blah. Yeah, that makes sense. Is Jacoby Brissett maybe the guy?
Well, we asked the question. That's what we do at National Sports Podcast. We ask the questions. We start the discussions. The answer to that was no, which, by the way, congratulations to us for nailing that. I also think at the start of the year, I said, Jacoby Brissett will get you seven wins.
You said seven or eight wins, and then I looked it up, and it was like, ooh.
Yeah.
I don't think he ever has done that.

Chapter 6: How do weather conditions affect NFL games?
Anything less than a crushing is bad. Here's why I like it. Well, obviously the Cowboys have not been great recently. Their defense is bad. It seems like Dan Quinn...
took not only himself out of dallas's defensive equation but also he brought a lot of guys from dallas that followed him to dc i feel like they're going to be more into the whole revenge thing than the cowboys the rest of their defense being like oh fuck these guys you know um yeah i want to see i want to see 30 points on offense i want to see under 20 points on defense then i'll be very very happy yeah you the cowboys are on quit watch officially quit watch uh
They have Trey Lance packages, which you got to be worried about.
Very worried. I'm actually, I'm happy that Trey Lance isn't starting just because you don't know what you're going to get with Trey Lance.
It's true. You know what you're going to get with Cooper Rush. I also think that the commanders like Jaden Daniels feels like he's finally healthy because he practiced full week practice, got a little mini buy.
You got to kill. At what point should I start to be concerned if Lattimore is not playing? Ooh, good question. Because I saw that he didn't practice on Wednesday. He was doing, like, sideline drills on Thursday. I'm very excited to get Marshawn Lattimore into the secondary. I'm excited to see what changes he can bring to the defense because we need another cornerback, big time.
Um, and I've, I feel like I've been very reserved and being like, it's fine. He's going to be healthy. He's going to be great when he healthy, when he's healthy. At what point should I start to be like, do we get fleeced after this game?
Cause in theory, this is a, it doesn't matter if you have them or not and you need them for the playoff run.
Yeah. Mini by commanders come coming off the mini by haven't had our bi-week yet. We've got a bi-week in December, which is fucking insane. It's crazy to wait this long. Um, So I don't know. I feel like this should be a game where the commanders come out and beat the fuck out of the Cowboys. You have to beat the Cowboys. I want the Cowboys to hate me. You have to beat the fuck out of the Cowboys.

Chapter 7: What makes the Lions a special team this season?
We'll start with one game, and then maybe we'll set limitations. Like, hey, if there's not a touchdown in this game, we're changing it.
You know what's so weird is to go back and watch games from like 2002, 2003 when HD was coming out. Villanova, Maryland's at 12. Oh, yeah, we can put that on sound. The HD back then is not HD at all. It looks like you're looking at a Magic Eye poster. It's fucked up.
No, watching games back then when there was no yellow line, too. Oh, how did we ever do it? I was watching a Florida State Notre Dame game from the early 90s the other day, and there was no score on the screen. You just had to guess. How does that happen? They just pop it up every like five minutes. When did the line?
I always remember the line. When did the line?
The line came around. Remember a time before the line? No, it's like probably late nineties, early two thousands.
I do remember the SD to HD switch. And like, even just going, it was used to be so cool to be like, wow, let's switch to HD. Holy shit.
Because they had both channels. Yeah. So you could like last it with the HD and the standard D and be like, oh my God, the HD is so much better. And you just see it in real time.
There were so many people that when they made that switch, you realize this, this face was not meant for HD. 1998.
Was the first yellow line. September 27th, 1998. Ravens at Bengals.

Chapter 8: How does the Sixers' performance impact the Eagles?
No, I'm betting against myself, too. I've been bow leaving before you guys were. I've been on the bow train for three straight weeks.
Okay. So you think that just too many people like Bo Nix right now? You and Sean Payton both. Sean Payton's now having to, like, de-recruit Bo Nix a little bit because he loved gassing him up when he was shitty. But now that everybody loves him, he's having to be like, let's pump the brakes on Bo, okay? He hasn't really done anything yet.
You're also being mean when I had Broncos money line against the Chiefs.
Were you being mean?
I had the Broncos money line, too. What does that even mean?
Hank can't exist, Max.
What does that even mean? That's a true, Hank can't exist. What was I doing that was mean?
I think you just called it that they were going to miss the field goal. That was right.
He knows Ball. I wanted them to make it. It's too bad you don't know Ball.
