NFL Week 4 had some answers, but what questions does Kyle Brandt STILL have?

  • Why are we giving the Jets credit for almost beating the Chiefs?
  • What can the Bears do?
  • Who is going to start asking Bill Belichick some real questions?
  • Plus, where is Andy's Dad?

Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. You made it, You're here. I appreciate you, I love you. Ten Takes with Kyle Brants. The bomb is set, it will explode. I have to jack Bauer the hell out of that thing, and I have to do it really, really quickly. If you're cooking for the first time, I give you exactly ten takes and I have only ten minutes to do it. We have not had an episode yet where I run out of time in the middle of take seven and it just blows up into my face. I've been able to get it done. Will I get it done today? I got a lot of squeeze in. We had a massive weekend. I was traveling this weekend. I have thoughts. I have takes a lot of football action. We're going to start the clock. When I say start the clock, take number one. Bills are incredible, forty eight to twenty in the Game of the Year. It was the half of the year. Bill's Dolphins first half was incredible, and in the second half it was one of the biggest butt whippings of this It's not the forty eight points that surprises you about the Bills. You expected forty eight, You wanted fifty three to forty eight, some sort of final score like that. It's the twenty for Miami. The Bills defense came to play that was without one of their leaders, without their safety Jordan Poyer. You got the mar Hamlin back there, which is a great story. Off the field, I was worried how I was going to go on the field twenty points from the middle of the third quarter on the great Miami Dolphins machine did not score. I like the Dolphins team, and they'll be back. Remember the Bills team will be adding Von Miller soon. I'm not a powernking type of guy. I think it's nonsense. If you were, I think you probably put the Bills number two behind San Francisco forty eight to twenty in Western New York. Bills and Dolphins will dance again. The Bills just absolutely looked incredible. Take number two the Dolphins. Here's why I resent the media talk about the Dolphins, which I did not fuel, but I did observe. It was told that they were the next best thing. It was told that they were the next big thing. I am always really a reticent when I hear that, and a little bit of an eye roll, because I've been told a lot of the next big thing. I was told that we're all gonna wear Google glass. We're gonna walk around the city and have this eyepiece that drops down in front of us, this tiny computer that scans people's retinas and has our entire life. And that's not happening. I was told that ESPN the phone was going to be the biggest thing. Twenty years ago, ESPN had had his own phone, like, not Verizon, not T Mobile, ESPN was your carrier disaster. I've been told the Dippin' Dots or the ice cream of the future. I've been told that for thirty years. They're not the ice cream of the future. There's no one who's ever eating Dippin' Dots. It doesn't wish they were eating conventional ice cream. I was told that Kyle Pitts was going to change the sport. Still waiting on that. And I was told the Miami Dolphins have revolutionized American tackle football. They haven't. It's really fun, it's really cool what Mike McDaniel's doing. He is one hundred percent approval rating, is a very likable guy. They have very fast players. They use a lot of motion. They put on a show against the Denver Broncos, dropped seventy, and then the next week they went against their division rival and got thumped by four touchdowns and only put up twenty. They're not the next big thing. They may be the Super Bowl winner, I don't know. They may in the AFC, but they're not changing the damn sport of American football. We thought, oh, they're gonna be the highest scoring team of all time. That is such a Week three. Take a week four. They put up twenty. They put up fewer points on a lot of really bad teams and including a couple I'm gonna talk about during this show today. I like, the Dolphins are not going away, but they were the dippin' dots yesterday. Take number three. Oh my god, the Bengals are so bad. Who is that out there? I don't know what team that is. I don't know what quarterback that is. And afterwards, I think Jamar Chase is trying to be a leader and he says, I'm open, I'm always open. Excuse me up a fairing. I'm sorry, Jamar. I respect you speaking out and saying we got good guys around here. We can bounce back from this. I would probably cut out the whole thing about I'm open, I'm always bleeping open. That's not really operative to the point at this stage, you guys just got absolutely house. You scored a field goal early and then didn't touch the end zone or split the uprights against a pretty good Titans defense that's not been special earlier at this part of the year. Do you sit Joe Burrow? I remember before the Week three it was like, well, it's a risk being out there, Joan. He's like, yeah, but it's the risk of three now in one more loss. I mean, if they lose. I think they're playing the Cardinals next week. If they lose to the Cardinals, then you're one and four, and it's like, Joe, just sit the hell down, heal. We got to worry about the next ten to fifteen years with you, not the next ten to fifteen weeks. Bengals look really bad. Take number four, Eagles four and oh stack wins cruising along. The Eagles offense still doesn't look like it did last year, and it's constantly being compared to it. But I do feel like the Eagles still have that sign up in their offense, Like when you go in a store that's renovating and it says, pardon our dust, or if you go to Disney World, it's this partner Pixi dust because they're probably so magical at Disney World. They're building this thing on the fly. AJ Brown's starting to look really good. I think the Eagles will hit their prime maybe a month from now, six weeks from now, when they really master the offense and Hurts is really comfortable. In the meantime, for a team that doesn't look totally comfortable and that is renovating, they're still set in sales records. They're still four and oh stack those wins and worry about whether you can win the Super Bowl months from now. Take number five. I love Toy Story. I thought the Toy Story game was awesome, looked really really cool. Doesn't Toy Story just universally beloved. I love Buzz, I love Woody. Whether you were a kid who grew up there, do you have kids you watch it with him? It's great. I will say it's a little bit weird. I would have liked Andy to appear in Andy's room if they really had done it right, and maybe there was way more money involved. You could have had Hank's voice, Woody, you could have had Tim Allen do buzz. And also I always have some questions for Andy. First of all, how come they never mentioned Andy's dad He's just gone. The assumption is that maybe he's passed away or he's out. Is only his mom? And also Andy, Andy had those children's toys in his room until he was eighteen. At the end of Toy Story three, he gives them away to Bonnie. He was holding on to like a piggy bank and a mister Potato had till he was eighteen. And so those toys just sit there in his room and watch Whatever's going on in Andy's room. Doesn't he ever have a girl over or a guy over or whatever. I know this when I was in high school. There was a lot of things going on in my high school room that I wouldn't want my toys to see. As they sit there with that glassy at expression up on the shelf. Who knows what the hell those guys have seen. I mean, Woody wouldn't be so innocent. I bet. It's just always struck me as strange that Andy's got those toys sitting there all the way till he goes to college and they're just watching everything bizarre. But I like the toy story game take number six and I'm behind schedule. The Patriots are terrible. Who in the Boston media is gonna be like, hey, Bill Belichick, this team sucks. Your quarterback sucks right now, the coaching sucks, and you kind of always are bad when you don't have Tom Brady's your quarterback before and after. Maybe it was gratuitous before, maybe you give him a little time to work it out. But he just had the worst loss in his entire career, absolutely blown off the field, had nothing to offer this week, and I think it's fair to question even someone as great as Belichick, who's hung the banners he has. It's like a company. You may run some fortune five hundred company for years and years and years, but when the stock returns start to go in the toilet, you go to the CEO, say what's doing? What's the deal here? They have no identity, they have no quarterback, they have no attack, they don't know who they are, and they just got trounced in the worst fashion the coach has ever seen. Can someone raise their hand and be like, Bill, why are you still doing this? When are you gonna hang him up? It looks like it might be time. Take number seven the Bears. I don't have much to say about it. Congratulations to the Broncos, huge comeback in the fourth quarter, first win under Sean Payton. The Bears with a stunning, sickening loss. And yes, I do say stunning. People are like, well, you were stunned, but the Bears lost. If you watch that game, Hell, yes, I was stunned. I was stunned that the thirty second best team in the league had a three touchdown lead over the thirty first team in the league. They were at home and they still blew it. People are saying, fire ebra Flues, fire Matt Ebraflus. They're not gonna do that. I'd be shocked if Matt Ebraflus doesn't make it through the season. This organization just doesn't do that. But a terribly, terribly throw up afterwards type Bears lost. Something better than that, a palate cleanser. Take number eight. I love the Tampa Bay Bucks. How about the bleeping Buccaneers at three and one, Just when you think Baker's gonna do the Baker thing and come back down to earth and have a three interception game and it just becomes mortal and he's not the guy you want him to be. And I'm big Baker guy. He has a great game in that house of horrors called the Superdome. That Buccaneers have always had some terrible games there, even during the Brady era, and Baker was great. The Bucks look very good. They run, they have random guys contributing. They stuffed the Saints offense. I like the Bucks a lot. Remember, somebody's gotta come out of that South. Somebody's gonna play a home playoff game. Through one month, Tampa looks really, really good. Let's get to take number nine, all right, So I'm not gonna go deep on the Taylor Swift thing. It's now just part of our lives. You turn on a game and she's there. It's been two weeks in a row. It was not an anomaly. My take is that when we're doing these backstage videos and she does the arrival and all the reporters and Diana Rossini, who I love, has their phone up and they're filming them, can we see the crowd a little bit more that she's with the crew that she's with. I'm watching these videos and they follow Taylor as she comes through security and they zip right past the likes of Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively. I want to see those people. It's kind of cool to me that Hugh Jackman is in an NFL game. How's he looking right now? Is he liftings? He playing Wolverine anytime soon? What kind of shapes? But no, you can't even see Hugh Jackman as if he's also ran coffee fetcher for Taylor Swift. We're keeping it on Taylor who, frankly, we've seen a lot of last Toup weeks. I know what she looks like. I know she's doing there. I want to see Hugh Jackman. We had an opportunity for Hugh Jackman was walking through a metal detector backstage in met Life. There's your Wolverine Adamantium reference. There's even a joke in the original X Men nineteen ninety nine of Wolverine going through and out metal detector and he takes the blades out and destroys it. Can we see the crew a little more? I like Blake Lively, I saw a lot of her. I'd like to see Robin Lively, you know, that's her sister. Do you know she's the lead, the female lead in Karatekud three and she friend Zones LaRusso so hard. I like Robin Lively. We want to see more of her. Take number ten, Travel as Hell, Part five billion. This weekend, my wife and my two kids and I we went to New Orleans for a wedding, not for a buck Saints, for a family wedding. Since it was trrentially raining on Friday here, like biblical rain, dangerous rain, we had a car service we're going to I guess take us to the airport, and said my wife said, no, let's take our suv. Let's drive to the airport and be safe. We drive to LaGuardia, We go up to the twentieth floor of the parking garage and we park it there, fly to New Orleans, do the wedding. There was a lot of eating, a lot of irresponsible drinking and behavior. And it's my wife, my two kids and I. We get to New Orleans Airport early Sunday morning, wait through a long security line. I'm hungover, We're all irritable. I just want to get the hell home, have pizza and sit on the couch and watch football. We look up at the screen. We fly back into JFK, not LaGuardia, meaning my family and I had to fly back to JFK, get out, get an uber to LaGuardia, get our car and drive home, travel as hell, and that is ten minutes. This show is a thrill. It's really a thrill to do. I was actively nervous looking at the clock talking about my family and I ubering from JFK to LaGuardia. I was nervous. I felt like the computer I'm looking at right now was actually going to explode. That's the tension, that's the stakes that we're looking for. Thank you very much for everybody who's listening. Thank you for people who've been tweeting about the show. That's it. That's ten takes and ten minutes, click share, review, do all those wonderful things you do, and let's keep doing this for you. It's a quick one. Guys, got to get out of here. Love you, see you next week on ten Takes with Kyle Bramp, You're the Best. Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.
