This is a movie question. Why am I so bothered that Kevin leaves his mac and cheese uneaten in home alone?

0:08.5

I'm always bothered by food being left uneaten. I really will stuff myself sometimes because I'm like this is so effed up to that dead cow.

0:16.2

Hear the music. Yeah, buddy. That's right. Yeah, I don't like food unedden. I'm Captain Planet. I can't be

0:23.8

Captain Planet if I'm not worried about the planet, all right? The cow is dead. The cow,

0:28.3

the least you can do is eat it. Right. Thank you very much. I appreciate your logic.

0:33.6

What's up, everybody? Chris Sims unbuttoned. It's a big one. The NFL season. The hundredth one is in the books.

0:40.9

We had, I mean, an awesome last day. Not a whole lot of meaningful games, but the games that were meaningful, they've kind of delivered. Whether it was last night, Sunday night football extravaganza, Seahawks 49ers, that was great. I mean, come on. Who the fuck would have called the dolphins

0:55.3

beating the Patriots in New England? Not you, not me, nobody, okay? Maybe some Patriots

1:00.9

fans here over the last couple of weeks because they've been jaded by how that team's

1:04.5

performed. They're a little scared, but I don't think anybody saw that happening. And we'll hit

1:08.7

it on it all. We got a few coaching changes. I did a little deep dive into a few plays and situations throughout. We did a long PFT show today, and I didn't get to do my normal deep dive into film. But we're going to hit all the major things, the coaching changes. I know you got a pop quiz for me later on, which I promise I haven't looked at at all.

1:28.9

I have no idea what you're going to ask me. I've actually seen the questions right now. So that would be good. Yeah, we get to the end of the year. And there are some surprising things. You've got 17 games, right? And there are some things that, you know, some teams trended better at the end of the year than they were the beginning of the year. So numbers do lie sometimes, but it's still kind of eye-opening to see where some of these teams ended up. And they're not all in places that we would have guessed three months ago. No, no, definitely not. You're right. We'll do a little wild card round first look, right? Wild card games, yep. I'm pumped about that. My first thought right away is I'm just so happy as a football fan because I think the 12 best teams are in the playoffs.

2:05.5

I think the six best teams in the NFC and the six best teams in the AFC are in, which always means better viewing, more fun.

2:12.9

And, of course, I'm always rooting for the best final eight, best final four, best final two for viewing purposes. I just want to see it that way. So that's all in play right now. And let's get to it. Got anything else you want to say? I was going to challenge you on the best 12 teams. Yeah, go ahead. Challenge me. How dare you challenge me? It's very difficult to do that. I mean, maybe the Steelers. Right, no, not after what we've seen the last two weeks, right?

2:37.0

They're offensively challenged. They had been. They would have been there, but no. Colts, no. No. Started out the year. The Rams better than the Vikings. Maybe that's the only one, like Florio brought that up. that up. Like maybe the Rams are better than the Vikings. See, I'm high on the Vikings, so I don't think so. Yeah. I like the Vikings. Yeah, I'm not. You're high on whatever else

2:53.2

you're drinking over there. Your rock star drink. I can give it up. Although New Year knew me. So maybe. Oh, I like that. I think you should if you do, if you, if you, you can bring your, like, bad can on the set.

3:06.0

Yeah. If you wear that like that.

3:07.9

I'm wearing a big giant

3:09.5

49ers fist. A Hulk.

3:11.1

A Hulk 49ers fist. And Annie told me she was like, if you drink it out of that, Chris will respect it. I will. I respect it. Yep. And that's what I really think that's what might happen if you drink too many of those things. Your hands, like swollen and red, swollen. I'm not sure. But all right, so let's head it. Where do you want to start? You leave me there, Slugger. So let's start with week 17. Yeah. So let's go week 17. Week 17, huh? Week 17, the final week. Let's go to week 13. I was going to say, where else we can start get to start? I'm going to, I mean. Could have gone playoff preview, but let's just first look at what happened last week. And I think we do start with the 49ers Seahawks game, which I think you can make an argument that was the best game of the season. It's up there. It's up there. And it didn't necessarily look like it was going to be in the first half. Right. Because the Seahawks, I mean, they were an underdog.

3:59.3

Didn't show up at first, right.

4:00.3

They didn't.
