Why noon, because I was just want to watch football and not. We'll think about it and then put them in order. I'll kind of put them in order during the afternoon games, and then I'll kind of piece together the top fifty then will break out for you

Next week will kind of be It won't be the last week we're on the air anything, but it will be our kind of year end extravaganza because it'll be the week where all three of us are here together. I'm pumped. Things gonna be fun. I don't talk to them, but I still want to do the year song from Danny Bayliss. He did a dozen songs. Yeah, yeah, the original a montage. I'll give you that. Now. I'll actually check the standing to see how his

Just know that you're gonna want to be listening all next week. But you can go vote. You can go make a difference if you go. I guess. Just find it at Katie fun tweets on Twitter. Just vote, It's a Google form. It's very easy.

In thirty minutes, boy, ABC lied to everyone. Tonight is the grand finale of The Golden Bachelor, which I've not watched a second of, but I'm not oblivious to the world. I know that it exists, and I know that a lot of people, mostly women, probably took some of that in Big story came out yesterday and Jerry Turner, the gold Bachelor, is not who ABC portrayed him to be. We will discuss those dirty details at thirty minutes. Yes, sir, I can't wait. But look,

let's be honest, man. Cowboys play tonight. It's a game day, Kevio. Let's get cranked in Sports at seven, Get crank and now Sports at seven. I tell you the most important this is, Oh, it's brought to you by uh Hot Coco downstairs here in Addison, the Candy Canelane truck, Candy Cane Lane, Amazon Prime Free Hot Coco. If you're on the toll way, what time they start? Eight thirty, eight thirty to ten? All right, Well, if you're planning on being on the toll

way, anybody anywhere by six thirty five. Come get you a cup of Hot Coco free on Eddie Murphy and the new Amazon Prime show Candy Cane Lane. Yeah, big movie dropping, Christmas movie dropping tomorrow on Amazon. You know the most important thing about the game tonight we think the dining point line. We should make it nine and a half? Right? Did it move it all? Have you checked it today? It's been moving when it didn't start seven and a half and jumped up to nine. Yes, and the

Cowboys have been getting the steam on all these all these bets. Cows open at six and a half and they power right through seven, and thoughts all it might get to ten by kickoff. I don't know, do you have you up to the second? Let me bring this up. I'm seeing nine in some places, I'm seeing eight and a half. Okay, so it'll probably hold right around there. We can call it nine. Let's say nine, okay. The most important thing is the Seahawks are gonna rock their eighties

throwbacks tonight. I did see the uniform matchup and I don't love It's fantastic. They have a good one with the old bill blue Yeah, with and they always you know, cash and I just looked this up last week as we were looking at their tennis ball outfits on Thanksgiving. The all greens, if you even call that green, I don't know what they call the I'm sure they have a cool term for what lime green? Is that what they do? That's so I don't know if that's what they call it, but

that's what I call it, that key lime green. Well, I don't think in the furthest place from key West, Florida, in the continental United States, they'd call it key lime green. But you know what, maybe is that why they're called key limes because of Key West? Oh? Oh really? Yeah, well I guess I assume that. But yes, okay, so you don't know. I don't know if I know that or not. I thought I just learned something and now will disappointed. I'm confident enough

to stick with it. They called key limes all the Florida keys that pas. Wow, that's great. Planet Earth learned something damn new every day. Damn. The official colors of the Seattle Seahawks are blue gray green. Yeah, but see they always have stuff royal blue. That's not royal blue though, college navy huh, white, wolf, gray, action green. Oh, so they probably created their own color. That's what that is, action

green. Then you own that color. But anyway, I was like, imagine being zapped down from nineteen eighty seven and watching that game on Thursday night? Would you even know what team is playing? It looks like a World Football League game. They'll like the Orlando Thunder. You don't like so you don't like it? No, No, I don't dislike it really at all, but it just kind of hit me. I'm like, God, that's just a strange head to toe action green uniform that would make someone from the

past zap forwards head explode. Well, yeah, I wouldn't want it every week, but like I loved, a lot of people didn't like it. I love the NFL's color rush bit. Yeah, I do too. Do something to spice up the Thursday night game too, you know, any game you want, anytime, and if it's throwbacks, cool, And that seems to be the popular one, especially with teams like Seattle and the Chargers and the Buccaneers and the Dolphins who have fairly very different sort of you know uniforms

from back in the day. Broncos have pretty good throwbacks too. Over time, Yeah realized, Yeah, they're they're basic blue and orange, way cool. Then their navy blue and orange, you know, yeah, what would be? And we talked about it in our case for the Dolphins, like what would be the weirdest, wildest combo they could do? And I was like, what if they want all black? You know, I don't know, like a aqua. I even think of black on black helmet with a

logo whatever. We were just trying to think of the blue outline kind of, I don't know. Yeah, But and then what could the Cowboys do? I mean, I guess you are beholden only to your team's colors, and the Cowboys colors are navy silver white, so the silvers they would look too much at the Detroit Lions. Yeah, but who cares if you look like another team. It doesn't really matter for a one off thing. I

like the Cowboys when they go all white. Yeah, I do too, I think yeah, anyway, I think there's no wrong answer, and I love when teams do this is Seattle's Rock and the Throwbacks, the the other Kurt Warner. No, that's gonna be rad. It's gonna be a big tonight. I think they'll look cool. I think they're a bad team. Mike, I think they're sticks and vibe, and I think they're a bad

team. I think this game could get out of hand again and I you know, honestly win by twenty like they've been doing it every own game. But something's up with Seattle's offense, and maybe we were just learning over time. It is true Geno Smith is who we probably thought he was. He's maybe not that great. They were one of the luckiest teams last year when

it came to getting turnovers. Seattle was a playoff team last year, but that's because they had one of the wildest fumble recovery rates I've ever seen in my life, which you can say is a bit of a lux debt. It seam just happens to fumbling fumbles are crazy, crazy as debt, And then how many of those do you just happen to fall on the balls randomly on the ground, and they had so many. I think they fooled a lot of people. I think a lot of people thought they were going to

be a little better this year, and I think they're worse. Their offense kind of sucks. Yeah, I think they kind of fooled me. And you're right now, Gie, he might be dealing with an elbow injury. He absolutely is. I mean, I think that is hampering him quite a bit because he just doesn't look like it and it's looking like last year, his big comeback player of the year year looks like a complete anomaly. Everything's down. All the good numbers are down, the bad number of it is

up. And it's weird because I actually, I mean not necessarily for tonight, especially because they're banged up, but I kind of fear their receiving corps. I mean, I think, uh, Tyler Lockett is fine, He's an adequate dude. DK Metcalf is still scary, and Jackson Smith and Jigbow was I think a first rounder or their first yeah version of yeah. And he started to come on the last couple of weeks like that happens with receivers sometimes, Yeah, he's not. The few weeks he and he is,

like he's really He's really good. He'll be gonna take over the Lockett roll eventually. Once Lockett, who is he still a virgin? By the way, that was a story. It hadn't been I don't know the story. I need to find out if you ever got laid. Is Tyler Lockett a virgin I think by choice Acy Green, st Acy Green and football. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's a fascinating but he might have getten married and decided to go ahead and take a dip. Their offensive line sucks too.

I mean, Kenneth Walker is a very good running back and he's hurt. The offensive line is bad. I haven't been able to block for him, haven't been able to protect Geno much. And you're gonna see a lot of Zach Scharbonay tonight. He's tough unless they give you DJ Dallas, who has one of the greatest biopicks bio pictures or avatars of NFL players. Oh what the he's got crazy eye and yeah, DJ Dallas is fun. No,

it'll be Zach Sharbonay, who is good as well. He runs hard and I actually like that he's been getting carries lately and setting him free a little bit. But I think you're a spot on there. O line is one of the youngest, or you say that, and they have Jason Peters, who's he might have played tonight the oldest play oldest player in the NFL. One Cowboy last year, right, Yeah? Who the Cowboys would put

him out there? They wouldn't let him start unless they needed him. He would play about three plays and he would go to the sideline and they would be like, oh my god, he can't even walk. Yeah, I did that on Thursday. He put out there and then he had a shoulder thing. But he I think he and I wouldn't blame him. And I love when dudes do this, especially in the NBA. They do it a lot. Just keep me on the roster, keep that check coming. And all I'm looking to do is not cross that white line. I do not

want to go on this field, so I did in high school. I mean, is that right? Hey? Keep me you let me sit with the team at the bet Rowy may wear my jersey on Friday. Jersey, Yeah where the jersey to school? I know, maybe the cheerleaders would paint my truck, you know, yeah yeah, gokeviol yeah on the back number forty. Look, if I don't play, I think there are people in sports a decent amount. And I'm not gonna say he runs out there and then he says, oh my shoulder. But he ain't looking to go get

beat up at forty one. No, He's looking to cash the nice little check because he doesn't provide leadership that real job. I prefer that role too, so yeah, but generally speaking, their offensive line is incredibly young, poorly paid, you know, inexperienced, and yeah, the Cowboys defense should be able to rip them silly tonight and certainly put pressure on Gino. Hasn't even been all that good at any point this year, so that side no

problem defensively there. I was just read an article from up Seattle Way, and they're panicking about their defense because they've invested a decent amount of draft capital, some money into that defense, and the memories of the Legion of Boom are long gone. It's essentially been four years now since their defense has really been anything close to a game changer, much less above average. I mean, right now, I think they're right around twenty seventh in the NFL in

defense. They are atrocious at stopping anyone that third down. Maybe that's why they're twenty seventh, that they can't stop any they can't get anyone off the field. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it looks it looks like a mismatch. But let me say this, and I don't know if this is reality check time, have the do the con they blow people out. They don't really have a quality win on the year. I don't I guess, I don't know how you determined that. I don't want to say it like

that, because you could call blowing out any team quality wins. But they don't have a win over a five hundred team. Ye had a sneaking past the four and seven Chargers count right, I don't know. I mean that's four and seven Chargers and four and seven Jets. No, I'm sorry, five and six Rams is the best win that they have. I feel like that's the type of thing that we've mentioned almost after every Cowboys a big win.

Now, Cowboys are the first team first team in NFL history in their first five home games to win by more than twenty points each of those games. So, like you do get credit for kicking ass, so thats the Cowboys have a They do this based on expected points that you get because of luck. Essentially, Deron Bland intercepting a pass and taking it to the house is considered a luck play. Recovering of fumble is considering a luck play.

The Cowboys have a minus five point seven, so almost six points a game based on luck. That's an average through eleven games. And all that stuff. It's yeah, they do like points take minus five point seven away total okay, okay, okay on that yeah, per week. But you know they get a fumble recovery. But I wouldn't say a pick six should fall into the luck category. Yeah. Yeah, And I think it's very vague how they work this stat out. I don't know the full criteria. I

think Luca was right. Maybe there's too many staff There is too many staffs. You can justiphy just about anything about any team with some stations. That's in stat world, that's in Corporate America world. Yeah, give me data. I will manipulate it to make it look however I want it to look. Yeah. I mean, dude, if I want to go for a jog and jog out the right of a penis, I can. Yeah, you can go around the neighborhood. You can just track it out and then

look on your map where did I run today? And you can just try to draw out every day. Yeah, and that applies directly to this Thursday night map with us. Oh. Another thing like though over under this game forty seven and a half points okay in primetime this year in the NFL Unders twenty nine and nine. Ooh really yes, so likely under forty seven and a half points, although I think the Cowboys offense doesn't all. I don't think you can have a forty something point over under the Cowboys offense, and

even said the defense keeps the other team's total down. Look, I hate Cowboys win by twenty. I really do so. Like I'm I think they run them. I think a lot of people think Seattle's better than they are.

The one thing I want to see the Cowboys do, the one thing that I think could really start to get everyone really tweaking and thinking about parade routes and stuff, is if they run the ball effectively in Tony Pollard looks like last year's Tony Pollard and Rico looks like Rico's been looking this year, and that kind of works together and you don't have to throw it thirty five times or whatever, and it's kind of an easy win and it's just one

of those very smooth thirty one to ten wins. Now, that is that's the juice we need here, because that's the one thing I think the Cowboys you still want a little bit more out of the running game. If you could get that going, Yeah, man, and then you get ten days off before you have to worry about the Eagles. Yep, I love all that. Seattle six and five, you've lost three out of last four, and I've I'm one of the idiots who waited to draft a QB forever and

did take Gino Smith. So I've actually watched him a little more closely than others. He's he's on the waiver wire now, yeah, oh yeah, I mean and if he part of it hurt a bat off its line, right, sure, we completely dog Geno. I watched that last year, though, and when that's not real. See, I don't know, I don't know. I don't you think you thought that last year? I think I did. Man, he was really good. I think he led the league in completion percentage. He was awesome last year. And I loved that

story. And I love the thought that you can have somebody that's pretty highly drafted and then just buried and you're sure and Zach Wilson, I mean, sorry, it's the Jets. Might you know you look at him, You're like, well, the dude doesn't belong in this sport. Should imagine if in three years Zach Wilson pops up for the whoever rams and he's throwing darts

and he leads the league completion percentage and leads them to the playoffs. You're like, dude, maybe we shouldn't have passed judgment instantly or you know, in a relatively short amount of starts. Anyway, I like when that story happened. It was very unique for Gino Smith, so I was very happy. But it I don't know if it's the elbow or what, but it just looks like he is closer to the dude who's got run out of multiple cities than it is the dude who was the comeback player of the Year last

year. We'll give you more cowboy stuff at eight. We'll have our predictions real quickly into this. Mic Tiger placed today at ten fifty. He's going to tee off in the Hero World Tour event the Big Cat. Yeah. He had a press conference yesterday and the thing that dominated that was he's now on the board for the PGA Tour, and it was about the PGA Tour working to land to deal with Saudi Arabia's public investment fund, and he said

both sides are working on it and there's no animosity. He also said that he is not sure what professional golf will look like in a year, and he was not confident that a pg toor deal with the Public Investment Fund will actually happen by the deadline of December thirty. First, it's they got a month to get this deal done, and he was not confident. He said that in terms of contingency plans, there were other options if a deal doesn't get done, So he said it very confidently. He said it as if

he was very much in the know. The primary takeaway was how he said that players need more power in the tour. He was mad that Monahan did this agreement behind his back, but also he said he's played, he hasn't played much golf lately. He's got no idea how it's gonna go this week. But the key for him is he wants to caddy for his son, Charlie. So he's got to be able to walk ninety holes this week, play seventy two and you know caddy eighteen You mean at the piece piece?

Is that next week two weeks or two weeks, okay, So caddying for Charlie. And he is pain free for the first time since the wreck. He is pain free now. He doesn't know how I's gonna feel after he plays. He hasn't played and sweat. He pulled out of the Masters, He hasn't played four rounds on a major since twenty twenty. I saw that. I don't know his goal was to play one tournament a month. I love it. I'm gonna watch. That's more than I expected and be locked.

He t he's off at ten fifty two today, something like that right now? Yes? Or no? Does Charlie Woods win a PGA Tour event in his life? Yes? Yes, Look at the swing man. I'm exactly with you, and I look at it and it looks like a little mini time. I get it. I bet he's a good putter. Yes, he's good at everything right now, but more instinct just entering the years of that really define who you turn in. Do you know? I think GET derailed Charlie faster than it derailed Tiger. The power pushing, the p

positivity, the power of the flower. Because he, unlike Tiger, it's good looking. It's going to be a hot boy, hot boy in a cart. Now, I'm not saying a thirteen year old boy is cute. You can say that if you want to it's weird, but I'm just saying, if you match the genes up supermodel mom. Yeah, Tiger's features and you look at him, he kind of looks like Harry Styles. If you look at Charlie, I wonder how much if any prep and is Tiger the

guy to give it on that front? And it would be the education that Tiger didn't well or did have. I think he did have and just rock in the RV while he's hitting balls at eleven. Charlie grew up reading headlines. I would imagine I'm Charlie, not headlines. But Charlie knows it's unavoidable. Yes, no doubt the public record and he probably loves that. Charlie already gives good interviews, like he do a lot of them or anything. But he put a microphone in his face. He handles it better than Tiger

did at that age. Tiger was a little shaky early on. This kid has advanced. He has like a little super Tiger who they could maybe clean up. How do you how do you You can't really improve on Tiger Woods, can you? I don't think you can. I don't think you can't either, But man, and it's hard to grow up a billionaire and have the fire. You can't stay hungry if you're eating all the time, I guess, and Tiger at least had that. I think given those two options,

I would say yes. Charlie Woods wins on the PGA Tour. I well, god, if I'm wanting to say that, Or would you say yes to he was a major? Yes? Okay, great grand slam go all catches Jack, Charlie slam catches Jack. I don't know, it's gonna be juicy, It's gonna be jeesus Tiger ten ten o'clock, lefter ten o'clock, he's off in the Bahamas today. That's right. Okay, here we

go, coming out next to the scuttle. But the Golden Bachelor is not who the world thinks he is. The finales tonight, and everyone who watched this show has been lied to a special tear down Turner Report is next on ninety seven to one Free
