Chapter 1: How did the Thanksgiving NFL games go?
I won't point any fingers, but just before this also, Mikey A said, when in doubt, just say Mike. So maybe that was stuck in your head.
So anyway, the text conversation goes on. Billy's right. So Billy says that Ibru Fluss is a f***ing idiot. I said the Lions needed a loss. Then he responded, Caleb too. Sims then said to Billy's point. I got a thumbs down to that comment. It was a thumbs down, right. He's a rookie. Sims did say that. I wrote, good loss for the Bears. I love losses, it's weird.
Mikey A. responded, he's a boss, gone the way of Trevor Lawrence.
Did you see that Keenan Allen did the thing that we were saying earlier this week? Wir haben die Person, die es am Montag machen wird, perfekt geklappt. Ich weiß nicht, wie wir es geklappt haben, aber ich sagte, dass die Bärs rauskommen und sagen, dass wir nicht um Mike, wie du ihn nennst, Eberflusse reisen. Wenn wir gewinnen, ist es nicht so. Wir wollten herausfinden, wer es war.
Ihr habt gesagt, es sollte Keenan Allen sein. Nach dem Spiel kam Veteranenleiter Keenan Allen raus. und sagte, die Spieler haben alles gemacht, was sie in diesem Spiel brauchen, um das Spiel zu gewinnen. Es ist so, naja, nicht genau, aber er kam sofort raus und trug seinen Trainer unter den Bus. Wir haben ihn genannt. Er hat den Person genannt und alles. Es ist unglaublich.
Ich konnte es nicht glauben.
Er ist ein paar Tage auf dem Block gewesen.
Von all den Dingen, die ich...
Of all the things I was thankful for yesterday, it was nailing that somehow. Listen, it can't be Roma Duse. It's not going to be DJ Moore. It had to be Keaton Allen. It's what you signed him for. It's crazy. Hold on one second. I just want to ask you guys something. We know the Lions are good. They're a very good team. They play the Packers next week. It's going to be a great game.

Chapter 2: What challenges does CJ Stroud face in Houston?
Well, what options does he have? And, you know, the shit has hit the fan seven times there. So he's trying to, you know, he doesn't want to piss off the fan base. If there's one place that I have him back, it might be the Jets. I mean, Aaron Rodgers' reputation around the league is not like, oh, we want Aaron and we want to deal with all that comes along with dealing with Aaron.
No, negative Ghost Rider. So we'll see where this goes. It's going to be a... ein interessantes Situation, ob sie ihn zurück wollen, wer sie an den Head Coach anbieten. Und wie ich gesagt habe, denke ich, dass es auch irgendwo anders eine perfekte Situation sein wird. Wie ich dir gesagt habe, ich kümmere mich nicht darum, mit wem du in der NFL redest.
Ich meine, egal was, wenn Aaron Rodgers kommt, sagt jeder, ach, oh Mann, du weißt, und jeder hat einen Aaron Rodgers-Story gerade. Also ist sein Rappler in der NFL nicht wirklich gut. Er könnte Bill Belichick brauchen, um ihn irgendwo hinzukommen und ihn zu retten.
PFT with Mike Florio, every day on Peacock, the Unbuttoned Podcast, Football Night in America. Chris, if I gave you the opportunity with the obvious goal of winning a Super Bowl to go coach one of these two teams, which team would you feel like would give you the better shot of winning the Super Bowl? The Eagles or the Lions? Oh.
Philadelphia is a little bit like we do a little, but we do it really good and we're so damn good. It doesn't matter. I mean, the runs you saw Saquon Barkley run last week. I mean, that's the run they run every play. They don't even change it up. I mean, that's where I try to like Detroit's team is super talented. They're not as talented as Philadelphia, but they're coaching and creativity
make up for that. And I think that's where it is. And again, I'm not saying Philadelphia is so much more talented than Detroit. We're talking close stuff here. But as I try to explain to people, and I said this on Football Night in America last week, Philadelphia, I don't know if people really realize, it's arguably the two best tackles on any team in football.
It's arguably the two best guards in any team in football. It's a top 10 quarterback It's probably the best duo at receiver you're going to find in football. It's the best running back in football. It's the best D-Line and bevy of pass rushers in football. And the secondary continues to get better and better. And oh yeah, the linebacker play ain't that bad either.
That's how stacked the Eagles are. Die Eagles, wie auch Devin McCourty, der das Show macht, er ist so, Mann, die Offense, ich habe nicht, weil er sie ein bisschen mehr letzte Woche studiert hat, weil es einfach ist und es ist nicht wirklich wie ein hoher Level Quarterback Spiel. Und ich war so, ja, ich weiß, ich habe versucht, jedem diesen Art von Sachen zu erzählen.
Sie haben sehr wenige Spiele gespielt. Es ist nur so, dass sie es gut machen, sie exekutieren. Und wenn Hertz keinen Fehler macht, sind sie fast unmöglich zu schießen. Und ja, ich nehme die Lions, aber es ist ein dichter.

Chapter 3: What was it like growing up in the Madden household?
Chapter 4: How did the Madden video game evolve?
How about that for a surprise guest today?
One of the OGs back in the building. This is the earliest I've seen Mojo on.
I gotta tell you, he's been on time, ready to go the entire season, Chris. Like a new Mojo. And no shirt?
Is that the new thing? Well, I demanded that.
That's the gimmick this year. It started with the first episode. We had to up the ante, so we ditched the shirt entirely.
Why does K-Funk have his on then?
Well, unlike Mojo, now that Mojo is not jacked and has a dad bod, I like to keep my stuff a little tightened up until I get back in the gym here. Mojo doesn't care. He just lets it all flab out.
Rollis, why is your sweatshirt on since we're here?
You know, I just thought I would represent the Cardinals here. Like I said, it's a chilly 60 degrees here in Arizona. It's freezing. Yeah. I could go no shirt though. I mean, what's best for ratings? You know, that's really the question.

Chapter 7: Who are the top coaching candidates for next season?
So I'll just take the Ravens. You're taking the Ravens. Mojo, who are you taking here? Maryland, baby, always! Okay, that's what I figured. Mike Rawls, who are you taking?
I like the Eagles in this one. Their defense is falling right now. It's a great game. What's the spread?
The Eagles are... The Eagles are plus three, yeah.
I'll take the Eagles, yeah.
Okay. I'll stay with you, Rollins. I'll come right back to you here. 49ers at Bills. Bills are minus seven at home. It is a Sunday night game. Who are you taking here? I think it's a snow game.
That's what the forecast is saying. Two feet of snow. Look, I think a lot of respect for what the Niners have done over the last several years, but I don't think Brock Purdy is healthy. I think they're a little bit beat up right now. I think it's like a good game, but one that by the end that Buffalo takes a multiple score advantage. I got the Bills covering.
Okay, Cher Bear, who are you taking here? We have 49ers at Bills, Bills minus seven. You know, shoot, I'm going to go up.
Okay, taking Buffalo. Let's go to Enzo.
Enzo, who are you taking here? 49ers at Bills. Bills minus 7. Wow.
