Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our spooky humble-boom, the Thunderdow, on this NFL week nine kickoff Thursday.

On 10th 30th, 2025, this program begins now.

Football!

It is spooky, though.

Football kicks off week nine of its NFL season this evening as the Baltimore Ravens with Lamar Jackson back at quarterback. Go down to his hometown of Miami to take on the dolphins as seven and a half point favorites. Now, Lamar Jackson spoke very candidly this week about kicking all the bullshit out of the locker room. Okay, if we're winning, maybe it's not a problem. We're losing. We need to lock in a little bit more.

He was doing that whenever he wasn't even playing.

Now, remember, had a hamstring injury a couple weeks back. Everybody saw him on the sideline not going in the game. They thought, well, Mark Jackson, this guy quit on a team. This guy quit on the team. Turns out that ended up being about a month-long hamstring injury,

including a bye week and then a miss game post that.

Now he's back on a Thursday night in Miami in a must-win game for this Baltimore Ravens team, and everybody thinks that they're going to must win and will win. The sports books still have the Baltimore Ravens as the favorites to win the AFC North, even though they're two and five or whatever the hell it is at this point. But they're going to rattle off a bunch of wins of what the sports books thinks. And the reason is because Lamar Jackson is special and maybe the defense has figured out how to play football. Patrick Ricard being back for the Baltimore Ravens at Fullback is a massive ordeal for the way they operate as well. Will tonight just be an absolute clobbering of the Miami Dolphins. Let's go to one half of the hammer.

Died Cowboys at Bubba Gumpino. He wore his full Dolphins costume today. This is not Halloween.

This is Victory Gumpy heading into a prime time matchup against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore

Ravens. Last week, you guys played the best game. You guys have played in a long, long time. Vibs, obviously immaculate. Can't enjoy an entire victory week, you know, because the game's on Thursday, not on Sunday. You got four good days of celebration here. What did you see from the boys last week against the Falcons that make you think, you know what? Why not? The Miami Dolphins going forward. And how do you like your chances against the Baltimore Ravens, old gumpsh?

All season, we couldn't stop the run and we couldn't run the football.

Last week we did both at a very high level.

Got to keep doing that.

Let me tell you about the last time the Ravens came into Miami on Thursday night.

They were about 12 and a half point favorites.

Everyone said we're going to get crushed.

Boys are going to get that tonight. We're riding this now, Adam. The Finns are going right now. That was the best game I've seen them play all three phases last week in a long, long time. All right. Well, thanks for telling us about it. You know, we do appreciate you telling us all about what the dolphins did last time against Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night. It feels different just strictly because Lamar Jackson being packed. And the vibes in kind of the culture with the Baltimore Ravens are currently at. Obviously, a lot of people in Baltimore, and I don't want to speak for the entire fan base, but it feels like Harbaugh's potentially on, you know, hey, we got to win. And Lamar Jackson seemingly with the rest of the locker room in a culture, hey, hey, we got a win.

And on defense's side, it's, hey, hey, are we playing Baltimore Ravens football or not over here?

I couldn't even imagine the conversations that have taken place behind closed doors over there with the amount of outside pressure that could

be creeping into that entire beautiful castle they got over there as a practice facility.
