Now the shotgun's starting golf is full of mathematics, there's a lot of set up work that we have to do in order to make a tournament work, so I'm going to demonstrate to you just exactly how we do a shotgun start here.

And here we go.

All right, all right, all right.

Get your men, start your engine!

Greetings and welcome to a Friday edition of the shotgun start. It is October 6th. Andy, how are we doing?

Brendan, I'm doing, you know what, I'm not doing well. I'm not doing well at all. Well, the bears are playing tonight. We're recording this on Thursday. The bears are playing tonight on National TV. It's a disaster. It's the worst.

I love national television games. It's just, it's an under embarrassment. What we're trying out there are offensive line. It's a disaster. It is, it is so bad and they're playing one of the best past Russians in the league.

It is going, it is going to be a nightmare. It is, it is going to be so bad. And yeah, the red skin or the commanders aren't even a good team. They're not even good.

And they're going to, they're just going to absolutely punk us.

He froze on me again. Wi-Fi, I think my Comcast, we've, we've attempted fate here talking. You, you froze for about 10 seconds. But yes, we've got multiple disasters. We have nightmare. We're at the 52nd mark of the recording here on a, we're, we're Thursday afternoon, as you said, with game is forthcoming.

As you listen to this, it probably will have been done and dusted. But yeah, you got Jonathan Allen, Doraude Payne, Chase Young. It's actually a pretty good defensive line getting after Justin Fields, whatever.

That's the thing. Well, the thing that I'm worried about too is we're at, we're at a point of no return with this team. They are, they, I, there's nothing redeeming about them. They're awful. They're awful.

There's, I've gone through the roster. There might be four, four guys that would start for other teams, like competent football organization. We might have, I'm serious. I'm serious. I've done it.

We've done the exercise. It's like DJ Moore. We might have one offensive lineman. We might have one linebacker Edmonds, who's, you know, we're paying ungodly amounts of money to be way worse than Rokwan Smith, who is getting two million extra a year. Thank God we did that deal.

And we might have one, one defensive back. And he's hurt. Would you know, Justin might play for other teams? There's four guys. There's four guys on the roster. There's four to six guys.

That kid from Illinois, speaking of DB is just lighting on for Seattle. I was incredible. But yeah. Hey, we, we talk about this. Are we allowed to talk about this? We were with someone in New York last week, who is plugged into NFL circles.

And a month's one of these circles, who is somebody works for a team or works in the league, somebody who suggested the bears are going to win what more than six, five or six, five.

Like somebody who studies this for living. I don't know if it was a data model or an eye test model of some scout, but I can't stop thinking.

I can't stop thinking about this. And it's, you know, I, what I'm thinking about here. And this applies a lot of things and sports and life align misalignment.

Misalignment of motives. The bears will never fire someone in season. And that's the problem. We've got this guy.

Eber, Eber Fluss, who's a complete moron. He's making Zach Johnson look elegant and, uh, and well, just like, like Zach Johnson's got a shit together.

And for reporters, ever Fluss is a disaster. And, you know, we have misalignment. This guy is coaching for his job. He should be gone.
