Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. Ten Takes, ten minutes is what we promise, is what we deliver every single week, including this week. You guys delivered lies to me since our last episode. I cannot tell you how many of you texted me that you love cauliflower. You are so full of crap. No you don't. I got texts, I got tweets, I got dms about my cauliflower hate. And some people said they lost respect for me because I don't like cauliflower. Cauliflower still sucks. Trust me, if you're eating it, you're not living your life right. Where do we go with today's show? As always, just ten takes in just ten minutes, lean mean, get right to business. You can listen whenever wherever you want. We are Jack Bauer diffusing a bomb at the end of the ten minutes no matter where I am, if I only get through six, the bomb will go off. You'll hear an explosion. Thanks for clicking, guys. I really appreciate it. I really love you, and because I love you, I'm not gonna waste any more time. Start the clock. Take number one, the number one story of the twenty twenty three season. Thus far are the Miami Dolphins seventy say it with me, seventy points. Occasionally you'll see a fifty show up in the scoreboard in the NFL. You don't see sixties. You definitely don't see seventies. Amazing thing. Amazing thing that they did without maybe the second best player in their team, Jayalen Waddle. If Jalen Waddle played with, the Dolphins have had ninety points. And how pissed off is Jalen Widdle that he could not be out there while everyone was just eating and scoring and getting their incentives. And he's just like, you gotta get me in the game. I need a touchdown. Everybody's doing it. We got rookie scoring fourth. It's these terrible Broncos. The Dolphins are the story of September. Mike McDaniels for real. He feels to me like when Sean McVeigh showed up and the Rams a handful of years ago, And maybe it would have happened last year if TWA didn't get hurt. Tu has been electric, He's been perfect. It is a match made in heaven. They are the best story. They are the fastest team it is them, and it is the Niners early, but the Dolphins are amazing. I feel like Mike McDaniel should hold up a piece of paper with seventy written on it, like Wilt Chamberlain did back in the day, or as we go to take number two, maybe Sean Payton should hold up that seventy. Just sit there like a Dunce cap and hold up the seventy points that he gave up. It was disgusting last year to Nathaniel Hackett, it was really bad and it was embarrassing. They never gave up seventy. They never lost by fifty. Yes, the crowd was chanting down the play clock because they couldn't get a plan on time and couldn't snap it without a penalty. Never gave up seventy. The fact that Sean Payton did that and she came out and just blasted him like he did before the season, fine, I kind of liked it. He's a little bit of a villain. We need villains. Got the black hat on Sean? Could you keep it within seven touchdowns against the Dolphins? Seven touchdowns? Remember they didn't just hire Sean Payton to come in and quote unquote fix the Broncos. They traded for Sean Payton. They gave up picks and assets. That was an expensive acquisition they made, and they're worse than they were last year. Denver by far the most disappointing team, but maybe not the most surprising. Sean Payton should hold up to seventy. Take number three. Let's get something more positive, the feel good team. One of the most likable teams in the NFL right now is the Packers. The Jordan Love Packers. They're pretty good. I loved that game that come back to the head against the Saints. It sucked that Derek Carr got hurt. But if you were to tell Packers fans before the season started, all right, you have one of the most mysterious, one of the most interesting quarterback situations we've ever seen. We don't know how this is going to go with this, dude, Jordan Love, what if I would have slide you a piece of paper with an off run it across the table that after three weeks he would have beaten the crap out of the Bears and Soldier Field, like always, had a tough Week two loss in which they almost had to win, and then in Week three tie for the biggest Packers fourth quarter comeback in their history. Would you take that offer, you, dann Well Wright, you would take that offer. Jordan Love already has a signature win, and it was that. It was really really cool that he did that. The fact that he went after far of Rogers at al and already tied them for the biggest fourth quarter comeback is so cool. I find myself rooting for Matt Lafleur. I find myself rooting for Jordan Love. He seems likable, his body language is positive and fun. Great, great win for the Packers. Number four Dak Prescott. Dak chill out a little bit, all right, So the Cowboys lose to the Cardinals. I wasn't terribly shocked. The Cardinals have been playing very tough, even though they lost the first two weeks, and everyone makes fun of them, but they're in those games and they play hard. The Cowboys had a rough week. They lost one of their best players, one of the guys that they're most liked at Trayvon Diggs. They come out flat, they lose to the Cardinals. That's fine. I don't even want to crucify him for that. But then Dak comes out afterwards, and it's so mad and is so on offense, saying, y'all put us on top of the world. We know who we are. In that same sense, I'm sure the media got what they wanted. Dac. It's a week three loss, It's okay. Why do you feel like your seasons just ended? Why do you feel like you just lost to the Niners in the divisional again? Easy there, Ragining Walter Peyton Man of the Year winner. I feel like the media got what they wanted. Was anybody sitting here saying, oh, man, if I could just get one thing out of week three, if I could just one thing out of this whole seat, I just want the Cowboys to lose to the Cardinals week three. No one was looking for that deck Chill save that later for when you really give us what we want, which is a crumbling playoff loss. Take number five. The Vikings are owing three. People are saying they should trade at Kirk Cousins to the Jets know they should not stop it with that. Kirk Cousins is one of the very best things they have going for him, is one of the only good things they have going for him. Also, I'm not giving up on the Vikings I know they're owing three. Know the statistics. I know it's terrible, the amount of owing three teams that can make the playoffs. Do you know that they had the largest comeback in NFL history last year. Ever, that team can come back from an oh and three, and certainly not from trading kirk Cousins. I understand why the Jets would want to trade for kirk Cousins. I don't understand why the Vikings would. I don't think they would think about it. I don't think they will do it. Do not be shocked if the Vikings get back into this thing somehow. They're one of two oh to three teams in their own to all right. I don't think the Lions or the Packers. As much as I like those teams, I don't think they're omnipotence. They aren't like the Chiefs in the West or something. They can be caught. Don't trade kirk Cousins. Keep badly, keep badly, get back in this thing. Take number six. Speaking of the Jets, I respect the way they have rallied around Zach Wilson. It's classy, it's admirable. They kind of pick him up and try to build up his confidence, and as soon as Rogers got hurt, Salas said, this is Zach's team, not anymore. It's not He's terrible, he can't play. We've known this now for three years. What do I always say, If someone tells you who they are, believe them. If someone tells you and shows you who they are for three years, bench them. Zach Wilson should never start another game for the Jets. It's not fun to say out loud. I don't feel great about it, but if you watch them play, he doesn't have it. He doesn't have it, He's never gonna have it. He should never start another game for the Jets. I don't care who they play. Tim Boyle is his backup. But in Tim Boyle I don't care. I'm at my boiling point. If you will take number seven. How about those Steelers, no problem? Two in one, cruising along just like always they are Exhibit A. In Week one is a liar Exhibit A. They were awful Week one, the Niners troused them, and then two prime time wins later, the Steelers are right where they need to be at two and one. No worries, picket looks better. Jalen Warren is playing more. TJ's dominating. Tomlin's cool as hell on the sideline. The Steelers will be in the playoffs, and they're sitting pretty right where they are right now. Take number eight. How about those Bills, No problem two and one. Week one is a liar cruising. They'll be in the playoffs. It's the same exact story. You can tell me the same story about the Bills and the Steelers. Awful Week one. Can you believe the Bills lost to Zach Wilson? They did, You can look it up. They've lost to them two years in a row. Actually, but they lost to them this year. Doesn't matter. If not for the Dolphins scoring seventy and again they did score seventy points on the Broncos, seventy, not seventeen seventy. If not for that, the Bills absolutely blowing the doors off the Commanders would have been the biggest ass whooping of Week three. The Commanders are Fielgus story. Sam Howell got sacked nine times and through four picks. Has that ever happened in history? I don't have my researcher here, I don't have anybody. The NFL's got these great research departments. They can tell you the back. In nineteen seventy one, someone threw four picks and got sacked nine times. I don't have anybody here. I would hope that didn't happen. That's a terrible way to go down. Bill's look awesome, love my guy to rel Bernard. That is take number eight, which brings us to take number nine. Within a twenty four hour period. This weekend, I flew from New York to Los Angeles and back, so I logged about a good twelve hours on a plane within twenty four hours, which is not recommended. Here's my take. Airplane drinking is overrated. I'm not saying I don't do it. I'm not saying I don't like it. I'm not saying it's good. It is overrated drinking alcohol in an airplane. I had a bunch of wine on the way back yesterday. First of all, the wine on an airplane is generally crap. It's only super sugary. It's gonna dry you out. But eventually, when the flight ends and you're done with your airplane drinking, you're gonna be all like, kind of dehydrated and already pre hungover when the flight ends because they cut you off you know, you can't get a drink. It's at least a half an hour, maybe more like forty five minutes till you get off the plane since you had your last drink, because they're not giving you drinks as you go on final approach. Then you're in an airport's. Airports are terrible places to be. You're not drinking at a bar as you arrive at an airport. You're getting in some kind of car. If you're gonna keep the party going, it's an hour and a half until your next drink. You're sober up, you're kind of hungover already. They tell you on an airplane that you're supposed to constantly hydrate and drink water and all that. I didn't do that yesterday. I feel terrible about it. I regret it. It's fun to be like, yeah, let's get some drinks, let's get some whiskey, let's get whatever. Inevitably, it ends up being kind of a bad choice. You're completely dried out, you get a headache, and then you have to re intoxicate yourself once you've sobered up. It's not that it's not good. It's not that I don't do it. I'm not going to continue to do it airplane drinkers. It's a little overrated. Let's not say it's God's gift. Take number ten. What in the hell where Taylor Swift and Donna Kelsey talking about? For three hours? How can you have that much small talk at a game? They were shouldered to shoulder for all four quarters plus halftime. I'm sure they just met. Doesn't the small talk dry up after a while. I've known my mother in law for fifteen years. I have a great relationship with her. I don't know if I could sit next to her for three hours and just talk about memories or my children, her grandchildren, and Donna and Taylor didn't have any of that. That was what was almost awkward about that. Every time they showed Taylor Swift at that Chief's game or showed Kelsey, what are they talking about? What in the hell are they pulling out of their deepest back pockets to try to have that awkward girlfriend and boyfriend's mom dynamic? Not for twenty minutes sitting in the living room before you go out on a date. Three hours and that's ten minute boom. Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio.
