What happened in the Eagles vs. Commanders game?
Okay, this is a true story. I have a friend who once faked his own death so he could have more time to watch his favorite TV show. In my new podcast, Truthless, I'm talking to people about the lies they tell, from forging new identities to taking their love of Game of Thrones a little too far. From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Brian Phillips. Listen to Truthless on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
We're also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network. Put up a new Rewatchables on Monday night when we meet the parents. We have a sports movie coming next Monday night. Maybe I'll give some hints over the weekend on the Rewatchables Twitter feed. Stay tuned for that. Hey, if you missed part one of today's podcast, me and Big Waz and then Van Lathan joined us. We talked basketball. We talked Knicks and Bulls. We talked about... The NBA's popularity these days with why the ratings are going down and yet the interest seems to be up and that conversation went in a whole bunch of directions as it so often does when Van gets involved. But we also talked about Mike Tyson. And the big fight coming up this weekend in four decades of having Mike Tyson in our lives.
So that was part one. Part two is a little simpler. Joe House is going to come on at the very top. We're going to be talking about the Washington-Philadelphia Thursday night game, the biggest NFC East game involving Washington in a long, long time. And then House goes away. I bring in Nate Tice from Yahoo. We talk about Drake May, because he's on Drake May Island with me. And then we talk about the five things he's been the most excited about over the course of the season. Really fun football combo. And then bringing House back in to do Million Dollar Picks. And by the way, it's not Sober House tonight. I'm just warning you guys now. So that is the plan for part two. First, our friends from Pearl Jam. All right, taping this first part of the podcast.
It is almost 8.30 Pacific time. Joe House is here. His favorite team, the Washington Seawords, was 7-2 a mere five days ago. And it's now 7-4 after two losses in five days. I listened to you on a very good show called East Coast Bias on the Ringer Gambling Show today. And you were saying it felt a little early for Washington in a game like this. So make the same case you made 12 hours ago on that show.
Well, I've had a couple drinks, just to be blunt about it, right from the top. So I'll be able to get half of it right.
Is it drunk house or just slightly over-served house?
Buzz house, okay. Buzz, yeah. Buzz house. I'll say this. This Washington team has now lost four games on the season. All of their losses are to playoff teams from last year. None of their losses came to teams that they were forecasted to beat. They have, against their three toughest competitors, all one-score games. So this whole season is a silver lining season. And Washington just isn't quite good enough yet. They don't have good enough players. They have good players. And kudos to the front office and the coaching staff and everybody to put out the first competitive team that we've seen here in Washington. Now, we did make the playoffs a handful of years ago with Ron Rivera with a team that finished under .500. I don't remember that.
Did make the playoffs in 2015.
Did we bet against Ron Rivera when he made the playoffs with under 502?
We must have. Oh, I mean, it's lock of the century. I hope we did. Yeah. But, you know, for two and a half, three, three and a half quarters, Washington was in this game. Washington looked fine. But you know why he didn't win? Because your quarterbacks hurt. Yeah, that's the other part of it. I said this on the show. One of my favorite bets for this evening was Jane Daniels under 43 and a half rushing yards. He can't run right now because he's hurt. He's protecting his ribs. The team's protecting him. The point isn't to win in week 11. The point is to win enough games to make it to the playoffs. I think they need to win three more games. The schedule sets up nice. We have a nice rest. Let's go through it.
