Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his good, good pals, Dave Damashak and Martin Weiss.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points Podcast.

Part of the Extra Points Podcast Network, Cousin Sal coming to you,

spaghetti and meatballs, fiddling with the knobs

baby face jol solomon producing this mess and joining me as always my dear dear pals dame damasheck and

martin weiss you guys got to talk me off the ledge i am so bad with these thursday night picks

after winning 11 a row i've dropped now five i took the fal, which is ridiculous. The Thursday game games are getting wonky. I maybe should just quit. Should I just quit? First of all, I need some meet time. Congratulations on the street. Thanks, buddy. But you have to look at it holistically. You're 11 and 5. You're still at the top of the division, right? You're still contending for the number one seat in the conference at 11.5. You're in good shape here with one game left in your regular season. As you're saying this, Shaq, it occurred to me. This is exactly what the 2020 Steelers did, isn't it? You 11 and 0? That's kind of true. Is it 10 and 0 or 11 11 and oh were you 11 and oh my goodness that's a good

cop yeah i think it's funny in this doesn't end great for me then yeah you know what we're doing

though as a profession is the exact opposite of goldilocks she wanted everything to be just right

you're in the media though sal what you don't want to be is in the middle you don't want to be you don't want to be just right. You're in the media, though, Sal.

What you don't want to be is in the middle.

You don't want to be in the middle.

You want to be great and you were great for a while, but you want to stink so loudly

that you get compared with all the loud mouths who say absurd crap and then people

respond to it.

Now, that's like you. you're like one of the hot

takers now you have terrible opinions that require people to push back on those congratulations

thanks me feel 5% better um what the hell are you thinking picking the falcons to win straight up

the thursday games have been terrible no one would have thought i mean it was the same spread as the Ravens were over the dolphins. Ravens on the road against the dolphins. The dolphins had no right beating them. I just thought, okay, this is where Thursday games are getting weird, but why would I go against Belichick if any team was going to be prepared for a three-day rest? And by the way, the Falcons since going down 7-3 to Cowboys have now been outscored 61 to nothing.

Like 68 to 3 in four days. That has to be up there in terms of all-time records for a four-day stretch, right? God damn it. Matt, what was Matt Ryan doing? What was anyone doing that game? They may not be a Super Bowl contender, as it turns out.

I have to be done with him.
