We have arrived to the final four. Yes. Four teams remain Chris Sims as you pour over statistics to educate the masses on the Viking Zegos Jaguars and Patriots. Yes.

0:29.4

You hate the Jaguars. You're the biggest hater I've ever met. Well, can you please just tell people out there again who I was rooting for on Sunday Jaguar Steelers?

0:39.1

There was a point and you know if you watch this show that me and Sims both bet on the Steelers to cover and as the Jaguars went up 21 to nothing, I said,

0:48.6

it's stitt Sims, stop fucking cheering for the Jaguars. We bet a lot of money on the Steelers. He loves the Jaguars. He's got a man crush on the Jaguars. I do.

0:58.2

He can name you every player down to about 53 on the Jaguars. They're that good. They are that good. They're a fun watch. You know, it's fun to watch to me old school football in a lot of ways.

1:10.2

I was raised in the 80s. Maybe that's why I don't know what it is. But just smash mouth. We're going to impose our physical will on you.

1:19.8

That's what Jacksonville does. It's not always pretty, but they are usually the alpha male team on the field. I love to see them kind of make other alphas.

1:29.0

Yes. Shrink away. That's why we loved when Leonard Furnitt called over my coach. They sat him down. I will say this before we get to our recap of last week in our bets.

1:39.8

Is there any chance that Bordles is entering T-Bowville in terms of this argument that doesn't make sense beyond what T-Bow stood for and all that stuff.

1:50.6

And I think Bordles is a better quarterback than Tim T-Bow. I'm not comparing them. The reaction where very intelligent football minds.

1:58.6

I think it's really close first. Because it's how close are we talking?

2:02.6

I mean, it's not that much different. Bordles is barely a better thrower than Tim T-Bow. Barely.

2:08.2

So if Bordles is 70... Bordles is not even the... He's not the 70th best thrower. He's the 70th best quarterback. He's worse than 70th as a thrower. He's worse. That's when people haven't asked me that question yet.

2:19.0

So where is he as a thrower? As a thrower of the football, he's somewhere between 70 and 90. I mean, that's really just the way there is it. I haven't broken a better...

2:27.8

Bro's in a better thrower of the football, Tim T-Bow, or Blake Bordles. It's really close.

2:33.0

Now, the stories that I have time out, let me just get this. The story that I've always heard about Tim T-Bow. He was so bad in practice. He couldn't hit open receivers.

2:41.4

He was going all... It was like Hackenberg's type stuff. The same stories we've heard about Blake Bordles. You mean the same story that Peter King wrote about when they were scrumaging the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this summer and said,

2:49.4

he was so bad that I think they're not the Benchum and weak one of the precincts. There was the very famous clip of Alan Robinson running off the field and going,

2:57.0

man, just keep it fucking in bounds. The whole... I know it's hard for people to swallow. He's better than Tim T-Bow. It's not by a lot.

3:06.6

This, again, you don't need to have the number one quarterback in football for your team to be successful. That's not what I'm saying.

3:13.4

I know you're not. I'm just trying to tell them that. I know you're not.

3:15.8

I'm just saying that T-Bow is... I mean, that's the low water mark.
