Chapter 2: Why did the Bears fire Matt Eberflus?
I was like, no, I seriously – I didn't think it was going to go down this way, but I thought he was going to get fired on Friday morning. And then to add just the perfect cherry on top, the Bears even fucked up his firing where I know how the Bears operate. What happened is this. On Thursday, it's Thanksgiving. It's a holiday. The Bears have that terrible, terrible loss.
You could read the tea leaves in the locker room. Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles were sticking around in the locker room extra long, talking to players, all this stuff. Ryan Poles and Kevin Warren can't make a decision without George McCaskey. George McCaskey probably was like, it's Thanksgiving. Don't call me.
So they weren't able to talk to George McCaskey about firing Matt Iberflues until Friday morning. Matt Iberflues had his scheduled 9 a.m. press conference. They were doing the meeting talking about firing him while he's doing the press conference. He gets out of the press conference like, oh, yeah, by the way, you're fired.
That's just how dysfunctional this team and this organization is that they couldn't reach probably the owner on Thanksgiving to be like, hey, just so you know, we got to fire this guy. He's a fucking moron.
And in the press conference, Eberflus was asked, I think, three or four times, like, hey, are you fired yet? Yeah. Do you think you're going to be fired? That's all they kept asking over and over. He's like, well, we do our normal operation. He calls everything an operation, by the way.
We do everything, you know, according to the standard procedure, which is we talk right after the game and then we're going to talk the next day. And yeah, as he's having that press conference, he's being fired. Yeah, he doesn't know about it. Then he goes, he gets fired. Do you think in a weird way that this was like a job interview, like the Bears were interviewing for Ben Johnson?
During the game. During the game? It's like, do we look enticing enough for you, Ben, to want to come coach us next season?
Here's the thing. I want Ben Johnson. I also want to say this because I'm going to get optimistic about whoever the Bears hire, even though they'll probably end up with the fourth option. I want Ben Johnson or Mike Vrabel. The one thing with Ben Johnson, and I think he's a very good play caller, do you get his offensive line too?
Because a lot of his play calls are good because he has an offensive line that is elite. And they take a little bit longer to develop. And I think Ben Johnson would be good no matter what. But then again, the Bears organization will probably ruin anyone because at the end of the day, it's the McCaskies. And it's Virginia McCaskie who is very, very old, but she put her dumb –

Chapter 3: Are the Eagles for real this season?
Oh, okay.
For diet?
Yeah. Chicken chili's healthy. Yeah. You get a white chili. How much butter are you putting in it? No butter. Oh, okay. No, this Monday is the diet day. And then you go back to it on Tuesday. Yeah. You get a one day diet. Yeah.
All right. I want to talk about the giant weight memes. What'd you have? Anything good? Turkey stuffing. That's it? That's it. Do you guys do sausage in your stuffing? Because I do. It's awesome.
My mom makes the best stuffing.
Really? How many people in America do you think say that? How many people are in America? Hundreds of millions. Did you guys see the viral tweet that was so funny? It's like my grandma's in Shaq Celtics era of cooking. It had like 50,000 retweets. It was sad. When it goes, it goes. All right. Yeah.
No, I want to talk about the Giants real quick because we always means that I'd say, oh, the Bears and the Jets are similar. The Bears and the Giants are the similarity because outside of the obviously two Super Bowls, which changed everything. The Giants are in the same situation where they have an idiot fail son running an organization into the ground.
Last 10 years, they've been to the playoffs twice. They've won one playoff game. They've had, I think, three winning seasons out of the last 14 games. They're 78 and 128. And I think seeing what Giants fans are saying, it's like the same frustration where you switch out coaches. John Mara is the one who's calling the shots, and he's going to keep fucking things up.
And every quarterback that they've had recently seems to play exactly the same, too.

Chapter 4: What is the MVP race looking like this year?
Yeah. So I feel like I have one guy to fix the Giants. It's Bill Belichick.
i like that i mean he's got he loves history he loves nfl history where you know he started everything and not where he actually started i think he started with the lions but where you know defensive coordinator for lawrence taylor and everything a founding organization he goes in and he just runs the whole show i feel like
I feel like that could happen. I think their legacy, this most recent Mera legacy, might be... And he would probably like to get the record with the Giants. Yeah. I was just going to say, I think that his legacy might be ending any semblance of anything interesting ever happening on Hard Knocks again.
Yeah.
That might be it because of the Saquon thing.
Yeah.
No team is going to want to put out film of their GM fucking something up so, so terribly that it'll just be a stain on the franchise forever. You're not going to get anything good from Hard Knocks.
No, and it's really a shocking clip. I rewatch it every now and then. I'm just like, holy shit.
They have had the most hilarious 18-year run as a franchise.

Chapter 5: How did the Commanders perform against the Titans?
Chapter 6: What were the key moments in the Steelers vs. Bengals game?
in August, that we would be sitting here on the week of Thanksgiving and Joe Burrow would have 30 touchdowns, 5 interceptions, and 3,300 yards in 12 games with a 68% completion percentage, you'd be like the Bengals are vying for the 1-6.
And how many interceptions is that? Five. Five, and at least two or three of those are on badly deflected passes off the hands of his own receivers.
Now, he does have fumbles, too. He had two fumbles in this game. That was bad. But still, Joe Burrow has played statistically his best season, and you've completely wasted it because your defense fell off a cliff and your owner is a cheap ass.
Are we in a zone where it might be so bad, their defense might be so bad, that maybe Joe Burrow MVP is back on a little bit?
I mean, I put a little on him offensively. Player of the Year because I made the bet thinking Saquon might win MVP and then they'll give Offensive Player of the Year to the best quarterback.
Yeah. And he's been the best quarterback. His team stinks. And if a running back wins MVP, then they wouldn't necessarily have to give Offensive Player of the Year to just the best quarterback on the best team.
I think I got it like 90 to 1 or something. No, that can't be right.
uh yeah but either way joe burrow's been awesome and you've completely wasted a year of joe burrow's prime and like that's that would kill me as a fan and t higgins last year yeah yoshi looks pretty good though yeah but still like 90 to one couple years ago you thought that this team was set up your windows open that window sorry yeah sorry about your window
Yeah, that was bad. That was bad. So, yeah, the Bengals are dead. I'm done. I'm done thinking about them. I'm done. I mean, they're still fun. Watch because they play in shootouts. But like this game was not an AFC North game at all with with the way the first half went. And again, I think the Steelers like winning in this style. I did not think they had it in them. Maybe George Pickens was right.
