Guaranteed Human.

Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio.

Welcome, 10 takes, 10 minutes.

It's all we do here, and I'm going to do it as fast as I've

ever done it to start right now, start the clock. Take number one. My name's Kyle Brandt,

and I like ties in the NFL. You hate them. People I know hate them, people I care about

hate them. People who play in them, I think hate them i like ties you know why because

they're weird theater no one knows what to do we saw 40 to 40 packers cowboys the game ends on a

field goal the packers aren't happy that they made the field goal the cowboys aren't mad that they

made the field goal too mad or too happy no one knows whether to smile in the post game, what to say in the post game.

It's just really strange to watch.

We get hundreds, thousands of football games every single year where there's one winner

and one loser.

Every once in a while you get one of these weird mad scientist experiments of a tie.

Also, I like the scenarios they lead to.

Now both the Packers and the Cowboys who are ubiquitous in the media will always have that stupid, like, locker code combination record.

They have three different numbers, like it's a hockey team or soccer team.

It also makes for very complicated playoff scenarios when you get the in the hunt column and all those things in

December. No one knows who has to do what to make, miss, or otherwise in the playoffs. It's

sloppy. It's weird. I really enjoy it. 40 to 40 was a masterpiece for me. You hate it. I like

ties. I like Thai food, too. But that one was awesome. Take number two, that tie was the Cowboys' biggest win in over a year.
