Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Road to World Football Show. I am Patrick Dardy joined by Denny Carter. It is Tuesday,

October 21st, 2025. Week 8, we used to say this is the midway point. Then they added a 17th game.

17. Maybe the ugliest number there is. Just an awful, awful, awful number. 19 also quite bad.

15's good. 13 has some lore behind it. to 19 totally awful so it's not the midway point of the season we have a lot to talk about we have the bucks now let's say winning but they didn't come close to winning now they lost 24 to 9 to the Detroit football lions they lost Mike evans yet again a broken collarbone a A lot going on with the bucks, not as much going off the Lions. We'll break down both teams. A lot going out to Houston Texans who lost the nightcap, 27 to 19. None of it good. Although, Denny, did you stay up for the end of this game, by the way? What do you think? I got to halftime and I was like nope so I did and the game I desperately

wanted you know move on my life like to start getting ready for bed for instance and like

it was the most zombie like fourth quarter of ever like the Seahawks could not put the Texans

away every time the Texans got the ball like nothing, but they just kept getting the ball back instantly.

The zombie Texans would not go away.

They eventually did go away, 2719.

We'll talk about that.

We'll look ahead to Vikings Chargers Thursday evening where listen, I don't know, not to be spread.

J.J. McCarthy's ankle sprain.

There's never been a higher ankle sprain in the history.

It's getting higher as the days go on.

Actually, it's getting so high.

They're now talking about starting undrafted rookie Max Brosmer,

I think it's like 25 years old.

Because it goes out saying Carson Wince, like his body's like splintering apart. He's just like going down in like a halo of battlefield glory. He is all torn up. Doesn't seem like he's going to be able to play on the short week. So we'll preview Vikings. We'll preview the Chargers. A lot going on with the Chargers too. But first all, Denny, we're going to preview the NBA is back. And it's not only back, it's finally

back where it belongs, the National Broadcasting Corporation. I so in growing up, the NBA and

NBC are totally synonymous, Marv Albert, then Bob Costas, then Michael Jordan, Denny winning the

Fell Fort Again Award every year thinking the Bulls might actually lose. Denny, the one person

in America rooted for the Utah Jazz. I did twice. Denny rooted for the Utah Jazz twice. Literally
