What is up, Hotties? Welcome back to another episode of Stay Hot. I'm Bladen Curr, joined as always by my two favorite co-hosts of all time in Matthew Spine Hour and Theo Ash. We have a great episode of playing for you all today. We're going to do our mid-season awards. We already did quarter season awards a few weeks ago. do an MVP, often to player of the year,

defensive player of the year, rookies, et cetera. You know, the whole shebang. And, of course, we're going to recap week nine of the NFL season. But before we get into all of that, Matt Theo, how are you guys doing today? I've been better, you know, that's a tough one. I know you have. We went to the Panthers

Bengals game and as a Panthers fan

The guys didn't play

one. I know you have. We went to the Panthers Bengals game and as a Panthers fan. The guys didn't play well. It didn't go the way that you expect. I really can't believe how bad it was. I mean, if they wanted it, it's like a college football game where it's like, yeah, if they wanted to, they could have beaten us by 70. And they just gave up. Like, after half, they just stopped trying or just trying to get it over with, which was nice. And I was going to, I was like focusing so hard. I'm like, I'm going to come back. I have really good analysis on this game. No. No. None of that, man. Horrible. But it was very sad.

It's always very sad because it's like, there's this little kid in front of us with like,

McCaffrey, Jersey and a Panthers helmet.

Just, just watch the team get a lobbered.

And I, you know what?

If that was me and I was six years old and I watched that happen, which he's got to be like in Cincinnati so he never gets to see the team. That was me. I'd probably have been bawling, you know. But he didn't seem too phased. He was born into this. He was born into this team. So he. if that was me

like today and there was the

Browns that got destroyed like that and I was at the game, I think I would have been bawling.

So.

But what specifically did happen to them?

Because this was one I didn't watch it all because I knew you two were there.

And obviously, Mixon had the five touchdowns. I know because I played against him in fantasy in one

of my leagues and all of that. But Burrow also had a bunch of yards. Was it like, was it without

Chase? Was it the big chunk to plays down the field or was he playing a little bit more getting

the ball out super fast?

A lot of it was it was a lot of just the mid stuff.

I actually don't think they threw it down like I'm sure they had some longer passes,

but like just like go routes is they didn't throw them.
