It was via Zoom, but I think we have a future date where we're maybe going to go to LA and

lift with him. So very, very fun interview. When is like, I just had a smile on my face the entire time. We're also going to do picks and preview for week 17. It's just me and PFT again because it is a vacation week. It's going to be abbreviated. We're going to fire through the games. So we're ready to roll. We have the Arizona ball.

We're gonna do an extra hot sea cool thrones. We didn't have a show on Wednesday, Firefest the week and let's get into it. Let's let's let's get into everything. We have Joe Flacco. We're gonna talk those in

I football so okay you never show on Wednesday, fire fest of the week. And let's get into it. Let's let's

get into everything. We have Joe Flacco, we're gonna talk Thursday night football. So okay,

let's go. It's part of my take. There's an about our sports. Welcome to part of my take today is Friday, December 29th and PFT. Joe Flacco is elite. He is fucking elite and the Cleveland Browns clinch of playoff spot and watching this game, the thought occurred to me.

What if we had a Browns line, Super Bowl? How cool would that be? Well, we'd be out of a lot of money. That's what we'd have. willing to sacrifice that just for the good of America. I think our country needs something like that. The battle for Lake Erie. I think we're also in a spot where like that's getting ahead of ourselves a little bit. If we just get Stafford versus the Lions and Flacco versus Ravens, that would be pretty nice. Like in terms of storylines and drama. Yeah. One thing at a time, let's go baby steps of that. Yes, the Browns, clinch of playoff spot, good for them. Incredible season. They've been like the most injured team it feels like and like we've talked about it pretty much every single week, the roller coaster of their season where they've had big win followed by big injury, followed by big win, followed by big injury over and over and over again. Joe Flacco is their starting quarterback. And I feel so much more confident about the Cleveland Browns in 2023 than if to Sean Watson and played the whole season. I can't believe I'm saying that sentence, but I fully believe it. Like I think Joe, if you're a Browns fan and you know the history of your franchise,

and you know how the season is gone, Joe Flacco with how he's playing right now is the

perfect guy for this because you can basically say to yourself, like, what if he just gets

hot?

He's done it before.

What if he just gets hot. He's done it before. What if he just gets hot?

We know that he can do it. Why not with this team? And he's hot right now. He's so hot. And he had those one very funny moment. If I don't know if you're watching the prime vision broadcast, but are good for Sam Schwartzstein, he started doing like a picture and picture talking about Joe Flaka, whether or not he's elite. He's like, yes, by our advanced metrics, they created like all these advanced sabermetrics to determine whether or not a quarterback is

a leader not.

And then Sam is like, we've debated this for it feels like 12 years now, but I can say that right now Joe Flacco, yes, he is an elite quarterback. Half a second later, he does the pick six where he's falling backwards and like two pump fakes gets taken back to the end zone.

It was a very funny moment on live TV, but the way that Flacco is playing right now and

he did it today without a Mario Cooper. So last week, a Mario Cooper set records in terms of like how, how many yards he had. He was just like dominating every single ball in the air. And then this week, it's like, you know what? I'm just going to throw the ball to David and Joku a hundred times the first half and we're

not going to miss a beat.

And yeah, the browns, like I Put a bet on them about a month ago 50 to one. I'm feeling better about that bet than I'm about my bills bet right now Yeah, I mean the browns are hot and they it is really just like when you talk about hope it's Joe flacco Joe flacco is he trades in hope because you know that he has that in him somewhere He is that guy that's the whole conversation about when he got the big contract when he won the Super Bowl everything He is that like there is that guy inside of him and there's a lot of quarterbacks in the league who might be better Like week to week or more consistent But they don't have that that that thing where you're like, but what if he just gets hot? It's a very Eli Manning-esque thing.
