Joe Burrow has been making news at the podium.

Maybe he's thinking about a trade.

Maybe he's going to retire like an Andrew Luck type of path.

You think he's not going to be a quarterback of Cincinnati next year.

Hey, I'm just dissecting right now.

Welcome to Dudes on Dudes.

I'm Julian Edelman.

And I'm Rob Gronkowski.

And this is the show where your favorite dudes get to talk about their favorite dudes.

And it's cream season, baby, and we've got a great episode coming up.

And if you haven't already, drop a like, subscribe and hit the bell to be notified every time we drop a new episode.

Let's Go.

Dudes on Dudes is a production of iHeartRadio.

Robbie G.

Where are you at, y'ah?

What's up man?

I'm home in my crib in Florida, heading back out with a double header Saturday and Sunday out to LA this week.

Love that we got NFL games on Saturday.

Now, it's the only Saturday of the year where we have it.

You know, once Bull seasons starts, boom, NFL picks right up and you know, put some games on Saturday because the NFL smart their money makers or know what they're doing.

They know how to spread out all their games so people watch them, tune in, so the sponsorships, you know, are at top peak as well.

So I just can't believe as well that there's three weeks left in the regular season.

I mean, it's it's kind of like the time where you're like, uh, what are playoffs gonna start?

Like, we need to amp this up a little bit.

We need meaningful football because there's a lot of games now Jewels that just aren't that meaningful.

And when it's just fir into this season, it kind of gets a little boring when you're watching those not meaningful games.

So we need playoffs to ramp up.

But we gotta finish strong as well.

Three weeks left, it's almost playoff time.

Happy Honikah Julian's Day, Thank you.

I appreciate that as well.

And think what five days in the Hankkah.

Four days in the Hanukkah.

It'll be tonight tomorrow right now, last night was four, Tonight is five tomorrow, we'll be six.

So Friday, by the time this comes out, there will be five candles lit going on to yes.

There will be so happy Hanukkah Jewles.

Hopefully you've been celebrating with the family.

Hey, love your family, by the way, Mama Jewels, you know, Papa Papa uh not Mama jeweles uh and Papa Edels.

I mean, let me tell you they're great.

Man.

I love your parents.

They're so fun to be around.

You know, they represent great people.

No wonder why you came out to be such a fine gentleman, Julian because his parents wonderful and.

Uh and friendly.

Yes, So shout out to Angie and Frank and now first up Jewels.

A lot went down around the league this weekend.

So let's take a look at some of these wild headlines that caught our eyes.

Like these eyes, these are some special eyes.

I got this.

So this is it's time for another edition of.

Dude News News all right.

Joe Burrow has been making news at the podium Before their blowout loss last week in Baltimore, Joe Burrow took the podium and said, yeah, if I want to keep doing this, I have I have to have fun doing this.

I've been through a lot.

It's not fun, then what am I doing it for?

If it's not fun?

What am I doing?

That is a that's a powerful deep thought statement.

Is that that was that vulnerability at the podium right there?

Roberto?

It really is, And then I kind of would say it kind of.

Explaining about you, Joe.

We hope that it turns around in some form or fashion for you because you're too fun to watch.

And just keep grinding away, buddy, Just keep grinding away.

We'll be right back after this quick break.

Did you see this Cam new Newton rant On Coleman, the receiver for the Buffalo Bills.

No, I have not joined to dissect what happened and what he says, so then I can dissect it as well.

Let's see what he says right here.

Let's watch it, folks.

Ain't gonna keep being patient with you.

That playful person that the Buffalo City by storm in his first interview and he sat down and was like, yeah, I love cookies, and he had to do.

You look good.

But majority of the time, if your mind isn't in the game, if your mind isn't there all week, you're never going to perform that Sunday coming up.

And it feels like that's what happened to the Cincinnati Bengals here and Joe Burrow has been through a lot.

I mean, I would say that injuries have to do with it as well.

Also the Cincinnati Bengals organization their defense a little bit.

But you know, at the same time you're getting injured, that's like, you know, like that's not really anyone else's fault.

You know, you can't really, you know, blame anyone, like with the injuries that he has had.

You got to take care of your body more.

You know.

I've just been around a quarterback that took care of his body so much, so the expectations are just so high for me for other quarterbacks to do the same thing.

And on top of it, he's got great wide receivers around him, I mean, one of the best in the league, Jamar Chase, you know, and te Hagen.

So, I mean, it's a tough situation here.

And it's true though, if you're not having fun, it does suck out there to be playing in the NFL.

Well, he was back at it yesterday too, he was on the podium and he says, you think about a lot of things.

That's the quote right now, You think about a lot of things, Gronk, what kind of things do you think about?

Well, I'm going to dissect that one a little bit.

You know, when I'm out on the field, I'm going to dissect what he's thinking about.

Maybe he's thinking about a trade, maybe he's thinking about going to the Miami Dolphins.

And he was like one of the craziest linebackers in our league exactly.

That's what you got to do.

And with Keon Coleman, Yeah, he had some times where oh he's flashy, you know, he's gonna be great, but then it's just been falling off and falling off, and now he's inactive for games and all that stuff, and you know that's when everyone's gonna come at you because they remember you being loud from the beginning.

That's why I always say to these rookies, hey be humble, Be as humble as possible, and gain the respect of your teammates and then you can go from there.

Well, people don't realize when you're a first round draft pick.

Like he was a second round I'm pretty sure I think he was the first pick in the second round.

He was first pick in the second round.

Yes, well, they've got high draft capital and they've they've needed him, you know what I mean.

And this is serious.

There's people's livelihood relying on your performance.

Everyone in Buffalo, although organization, the players, the coach is, the GM, the wait staff, the cleaning people, the freaking people that are in the cafeteria.

That it only goes if you guys win.

And if they're gonna invest that much draft capital into a guy, he's got to get it going.

So I think Cam's just trying to put a spark under his ass.

Yes, and it's not too late either.

There's a couple of weeks left in the season.

There's playoffs as well.

Heks off because this isn't fun.

That's the worst situation to ever be in when you're in the NFL.

You know, it really really is.

It has happened to me before, and it would be sad to see if Joe or here, if Joe burrows at that level because he's so young still, he's in his twenties.

That usually happens to skill players later, like in their later twenties and early thirties.

Yeah, I think this is a combination of losing and being hurt.

Only time I've ever not had fun at football is when I'm not feeling good.

But I also was always on a winning team, you know, so like it's it's hard to understand because, like I remember, if we lost like one game, god forbid.

I don't know how many times we lost two in a row, but there was a couple like that felt like the worst feeling in the history of life.

And to have that for three years where he's not even gonna play in the playoffs.

He's been banged up a lot every offseason starts to feel like Groundhog's Day, where you go in and you have to rehab for something, go back to a crappy team.

Like that's hard for an athlete, especially a high performing competitor like Joe Burrow.

But you know, you look into this, the team's done everything he's wanted.

He signed both receivers.

You know, when you sign when you have three of the highest paid guys on offense, you know, I don't know where Higgins lies in there, but they're eating up us a lot of that cap.

There's not gonna be a lot of other players.

And so it's one of those things where maybe Cincinnati shouldn't listen to him, and maybe they should listen to a professional that runs football team that knows how to win football games, Like that's why players play that's why coaches coach, that's why gms should be GM.

And but like, we're not in that building.

We don't know how it is over in Cincinnati.

From everything that I hear, they don't know how to win.

So, you know, that's a I feel like he's in he's stuck in between a rock and a hard place right now, and it sucks because he's such a talented football player that we all love watching play.

But man, he doesn't sound like he's having fun.

I would say the main factor to those quotes, The main factor where this has led to is the ability of the Cincinnati Bengals not winning and I'm saying not winning on a consistent basis over the last few years.

Yeah, if you know, they went to the playoffs last year, they had a great run, and then three years exactly, if it's just a down year this year, we'd say they went to the playoffs last year, Well, then there would be hope, Oh it's just a down year.

You know, next year, we're gonna rebuild.

We're gonna come back next year.

But now it's three years in a row, and that's I would say, is what's truly weighing, you know on Joe Burrow here with these quotes and it not being fun anymore, and he must not see in the future as well.

He must be projecting that things aren't really gonna change either, because if you have that hope and optimistic you know that things are going to change and you can see it within the organization, well then you wouldn't be saying this either.

And you're gonna be already looking forward to next year and knowing that you're going to have a winning team next year.

So he must not see this organization winning next year at all either.

Well, we're thinking about you, Joe.

We hope that it turns around in some form or fashion for you because you're too fun to watch.

And just keep grinding away, buddy, just keep grinding away.

We'll be right back after this quick break.

Did you see this Cam Newton rant On Coleman, the receiver for the Buffalo Bills.

No, I have not put it off.

Dissect what happened and what he says, so then I can dissect it as well.

Let's see what he says right here.

Let's watch it, folks.

Ain't gonna keep being patient with you, that playful person that the Buffalo City by Storm in his first interview and he sat down and was.

Like, yeah, I love cookies and he had to.

That was all cool, but we get that Chris to young players, big dog, you're supposed to be our number one.

Come on and you're playing like a bum.

I bet you better start doing your job, y'all.

Y'all.

By the way, man, I of when Cam Newton gets on a rant and this is his podcast right fourth and one, that he goes on this rant.

Man, I love just just how characteristic you know, he gets an animated, he gets as well, and just the way he says it and expresses himself.

You know, he makes me laugh and I enjoy I've seen he makes me laugh about It's true.

Yeah, and yep, one hundred percent this is true.

One hundred percent is true.

You know he went into this organization, you know, uh at the beginning, at the beginning when he was drafted as a rookie and he kind of you know, put himself out there like you know, like hey, I'm going to be this and I'm going to be that, and like you know, it's nothing.

All that, which nothing's wrong with that.

If you got to get up you have there you go.

Juels you have to back it up if you're going to be loud, you know, right from the get go.

Like when I got drafted by the New England Patriots.

I who in Harah on the stage with my brothers and all that.

But what did I do.

I came into organization and I earned my respect and then I shut up.

You came in in the first game and fucking Laronitis you stiffed armed under the ground and he was like one of the craziest linebackers.

Ain't on the ground and he looks back and he just goes like this.

That I was going to bring that one up as well.

That was versus Pittsburgh Steelers.

Up the scene.

I caught it for like twenty five yards, got tackled and I was laying on I couldn't wait to talk about this one.

Since we were talking about first down celebrations.

I literally was laughing when I was on the ground.

I signaled the first down signal while on the ground.

Dude, I was laughing.

I'm telling you, I was giggling to myself.

First off, dude, I wish I could go back to football just so I could do this one again.

Bro.

This makes me happy, man, This one makes.

Me happy capital and they've needed them, you know what I mean?

And this is serious.

There's people's life relying on your performance.

Everyone in Buffalo, all the organization, the players, the coaches, the GM the wait staff, the cleaning people, the freaking people that are in the cafeteria.

That it only goes if you guys win.

And if they're gonna invest that much draft capital into a guy, he's got to get it going.

So I think Cam's just trying to put a spark under his ass.

Yes, and it's not too late either.

There's there's a couple of weeks left in the season, there's playoffs as well.

He can he can, you know, take his game to the next level.

You know, he can learn from everything that's going.

On on to a live stream Aiden Ross.

He goes on to Aiden Ross's live stream, and Aiden Ross is a huge streamer.

I think we've we met him over at the YouTube upfronts.

I believe something like that, Yes, But and Fanatics Fest and he goes he asked about the refs.

Puka goes the the refs are the worst.

They want to be on TV too.

You don't think he's texting his friends in his group chat like, Yo, you guys saw me on Sunday night football that was That wasn't p I, but I called it trying to get TV.

Time, Okay, Pooka calling out the refs.

Uh Joels, this is a I mean, it's always a home run out of the park and then what a scoop of vanilla ice cream right on this side.

I love a little favor, yes, and then you got and then it's a toss up after that.

I mean, I like Amian nuts.

Throw in there, in there, yes, Oreos chocolate chap, but I mean it's Oreo cookie.

It's technically not a cookie.

It's an Oreo like a cookie is like a cookie that you got bacon.

I think it says it's like the best dipping dipping cookie in the history of cookie.

I don't really consider you.

Think it is Biskey British.

Yeahwe bro Yes, it's just its own category.

Jewels.

It's not a cookie.

You've got to bake a cookie, you know, like Oreos don't aren't made at home.

Oreos are made from the Oreo factory.

You know you can make I mean, yeah, technically you can, but like, who's ever made an Oreo at home?

I never really heard anyone doing that.

I got a hot take.

I love oatmeal.

I love oatmeal cookies.

Those are delicious as well, and like what's great oatmeal raising?

I like oatmeal chocolate chip.

I like oatmeal cookies.

I love them.

And oatmeal cookies are like, are like tricking your mind as well.

You're like, oh, it's oatmeal, Like I'm eating a healthy cookie.

It's good for me.

I mean even though there's tons of sugar in every and flour in it.

Still, but it tricks you.

That's why oatmeal cookies are a great go to to the organization.

You got to deal with a head coach, a GM and owner, your teammates.

There's so much more to it.

So just watch out what you say.

I'm not saying don't go on these you know streams, but just watch out, you know, and just be particular in what you say to because in the end, it starts affecting your play when you keep making headlines, because it's just a distraction.

I'm not saying he did anything wrong here.

He may be right and he's just being funny, but just watch out.

What's all, I'm just giving you some advice to just be clean out there be clean brother.

Because we don't want to see them come after your pockets, Bubby exactly.

We want you to have all your money BOOKA.

We'll be right back after this quick break.

Your friends would be making fun of you, like you pick your nose and you eat your boogers.

That's so gross.

But even though they would go home and pick their nose and fling their boogers all over the place, it was just a reason to make fun of your friends.

But the kids are going to catch on with this one, and I got to give them credit.

You know, this celebration, this first down celebration.

It makes sense as well because when you flick your booger, it's like you're flicking you know, your your two fingers and signaling a first down.

So it's pretty creative.

You gotta get him some credit.

And it's smooth, you know who.

There's some other cool first down celebrations.

I love Kittle's little three thing he does.

Have you seen them do that?

Or nah?

He does like a first down where he like he does like a three finger first down, which is kind of funny.

Ceedee Lamb does the nose thing where he does like the little nose thing to the first down.

Have you seen that one?

Or they do?

Like, have not seen that?

Nah, I haven't, Jules.

I mean the news the first down celebration is basically like a new touchdown celebration.

I mean the first down celebration is classic and you can do more of them as well.

I think it's over the oh oh, I've seen that one by the ball Yeah yeah, the ball oh all yeah.

I think I love it.

I think he's great.

But a first down celebration here we go.

A touchdown celebration can be like more dramatic, meaning like it's allowed to be like five six seconds song.

If you're doing a first down celebration that isn't quick, that is lasting more than a second, then you should not be doing a first down celebration because it's just got to be quick.

Burger flick the burger quick.

Yeah, the kiddle one.

Actually, I have seen that now that you're pulling at little thing yep, that's like that's a quick one.

You gotta do that this quick.

That's quick.

Got a new rule in the first down celebration can't be more than four second, three seconds, no, two seconds.

Gotta be quick like the booger pick is boom.

Yeah, It's kind of like, is this is exactly what it's like.

It's hitting a three point shot in basketball and they do their little you know, three point celebration.

That's super quick while they're getting back on defense.

That's the same thing with the first down.

So you got to get back to the huddle.

There's only forty how many seconds was it forty seconds to the next play.

Let's go get back at the huddle.

And you gotta do it at the right time too.

If you're down by a lot, no first.

Down, no first down please, And if it's two minutes trail, absolutely not.

No hand the ball to the official.

But I'm digging these first downs.

I used to be a just straight like I did a couple like uh.

I liked like almost like a seminole.

Oh hard one.

I remember Rob had a great first down signal where he he was lying on the ground and he looks back and he just goes like this.

That was funny.

I was gonna bring that one up as well.

That was versus Pittsburgh Steelers.

Up the scene.

I caught it for like twenty five yards, got tackled and I was laying on the I couldn't wait to talk about this one since we were talking about first down celebrations.

I literally was laughing when I was on the ground.

I signaled the first down signal while on the ground, dude, but I was laughing.

I'm telling you, I was giggling to myself.

First dude.

I wish I could go back to football just so I could do this one again.

Bro, this makes me happy, man, This one makes me happy.

Yeah.

This, this I can't believe has not gone like more viral.

It needs to go more viral because this celebration was awesome.

Oh man, oh my god, I love it.

Look at that man, Oh just the picture of it on pause just looks like our.

All right, let's move on.

Let's move on the next thing we got to talk about that hit the dude news airwaves or a dude news headline, what's up with our Puka?

And all these hot takes on his live streams?

My guy, you hear what he's.

Talking about without the NFL rep Joe's I've been out of it the last couple of days.

So it goes on to a live stream, Aiden Ross.

He goes on to Aiden Ross's live stream, and Aiden Ross is a huge streamer.

I think we've we met him over at the YouTube upfronts.

I believe something like that.

Yes, but that fanatics Fest and Fanatics Fest, and he goes he asked about the refs, Puka goes the worst.

The refs are the worst.

They want to be on TV too.

You don't think he's texting his friends in his group chat like, Yo, you guys saw me on Sunday Night Football.

That was That wasn't p I but I called it trying to get TV.

Time, Okay, Pooka calling out the refs.

Juels.

This is a tough situation, especially saying as a player, because you're really not allowed to express frust rawl team.

I mean, it's just because of how tough the NFC is this year and how tough that division is, and with the forty nine ers just playing spectacular.

I mean they probably have Coach of the Year and Kyle Shanninghan that's who's screwing the the Detroit Lions from getting in the playoffs.

No one should have expected the forty nine ers they have such a great season with all these injuries.

So I would say the Lions are not skim milk, but they're about one percent two percent.

That just isn't going to make the playoffs.

And then it's tough I'm going to go with that too.

And then in the Cowboys, I mean their skim milk, it's just I think during their turning pro process, the turning process where you're pumping the milk in the cream like they got lost.

I mean, it's how you represent yourself off the field.

Sometimes it relates to how you play, you know, on the field as well.

But here's another advice.

You know, Aiden Ross great, you know YouTuber streamer, but like you can't go on these you know streams with YouTubers that just represent themselves.

There's no repercussion of what they say because they're their own boss Puka.

So when you go on these channels and you're getting interviewed, they're going to try to instigate you as well to say, you know, controversial stuff because they don't understand what it's like.

The fallback news as well, the fallback of it all when you have to go back to the organization.

You got to deal with a head coach, a GM and owner, your teammates.

There's so much more to it.

So just watch out what you say.

I'm not saying.

Don't go on these you know streams.

But just watch out, you know, and just be particular in what you say to because in the end it starts affecting your play when you keep making headlines, because it's just a distraction.

I'm not saying he did anything wrong here.

He may be right and he's just being funny.

But just watch out.

What's all.

I'm just giving you some advice to just be clean out there, be clean.

Brother, because we don't want to see them come after your pockets.

Bubby exactly.

We want you to have all your money, Buka.

We'll be right back after this quick break.

All right, Well, it's the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas.

No hanakhah no us talking about cream season?

Yes, it is cream season.

Power rankings time.

Should we jump into it?

Let's jump into it.

Wait, wait, time out, juice, what is cream season?

Can you please explain to everyone out there?

Well, cream season?

You know, for the people out there that know anything about milking a cow, know anything about milking the cow.

When you milk the cow, you turn the milk.

The good cream rises to the top.

The good milk rises to the top.

And I use it metaphorically speaking about the national football League National Football League on the best teams rising to the top at a certain point of the year, usually a week or two after Thanksgiving.

And a cream team is a team that I think will be a team that will vie for a super Bowl.

Playoff teams could be a cream teams, teams that are you have to be in the playoffs to be a cream team.

And then what do they do with the best cream?

Rob Oh, oh, they take the best cream and oh, I know.

Jules, they make it into butter, and and and they make it into butter.

And usually the conference championship teams are butter teams.

And that's what cream season and butter teams are.

Should we should we put a list together?

Yeah, let's get into it.

Let's let's see who.

We also have the teams, the cream of the cream teams.

And also let's see if there's any spoiled milk out there.

You know, there's always cream, you know, creams made of milk.

And you know, when you always have that much of a supply, there's always going to be something that's spoiled a little bit.

You left it in the refrigerator a little bit too long, you went for a vacation and you came back and the milk is spoiled.

So we got to get into those teams as well.

Or maybe these are skim milk teams.

Yeah, there's no ain't no fat.

There ain't no fat.

What makes the milkshake taste all dozed over?

Yeah, you got you gotta have home oh with some vitamin D.

You know, maybe two percent works as well.

But you can say this, Mury.

You can say this in almond milk as well.

The almond milk with the sugar tastes better.

The almond milk without the sugar doesn't taste as good.

It's the thirty calorry almond milk.

So if you're almond milk, head out there, jump on, jump on the wagon.

Okay, it's cream season, so let's jump into this skim milk teams out of the AFC teams that are probably not gonna make the playoffs.

Oh oh, probably not gonna make the playoffs.

All right, it's easy.

I'm gonna go with the Baltimore Ravens.

They're definitely skim milk this year.

I mean, I lost that loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks ago kind of, you know, showed who they are this year.

You know, they kind of went on a little hot streak to get back to where they needed to get back to, and now they're back to that little cold streak.

You know.

But the Baltimore Ravens they just don't have it this year.

You know, Well they better they better continue that cold streak this weekend against the Patriots.

Holy shmoy.

Yeah, they go out and beat the Pats this week.

That's not good.

Yeah, I agree.

I gotta say they skim milk.

But if they do beat the Patriots, they're going to rise to about one percent or two percent right now jewels after if they can pull that off.

And I also think I think the Colts are a skim milk team, the Colts, and it's only because they lost a lot of their they're fat the players they've lost.

Yes, that is a great point, and so they're very very similar.

So Patriots belong as a cream team.

They've been dominating.

They had the ten game win streak.

It was sad to see them let go of that twenty one point lead versus the Buffalo Bills last week.

You know, And what that shows is that you know, at any time they can collapse now and at any time you know, it gives confidence to other teams that they can make a comeback in the Patriots can't close the door even though you know they're up by twenty one.

That of what is exploits them just a little bit.

Yeah, it could have been a flute game.

But overall the Patriots ira cream team.

They played great football, you know, on offensive side of the ball, with no you know, not many turn on.

The Colts just don't have that fat to them anymore, and they just don't have that power to them because of all the injuries that has happened to them.

I don't think they can text catch up to the Texans either, who are in their division.

So I think Ravens, Colts skim milk.

They're out of the playoffs.

Now the NFC, let's talk about the skim milk skim milk teams here.

That was the AFC with the Ravens and Colts and now with the NFC.

Oh, I mean, the NFC is so powerful right now, Like you don't even want to call the Lions skim milk.

Like they're eight and six.

They got a pretty solid team.

I'm going to say this, the Lions aren't going to make the playoffs, which is very sad.

I had them as my Super Bowl team.

I mean, it's just because of how tough the NFC is this year and how tough that division is, and with the forty nine ers just playing spectacular, I mean they probably have Coach of the Year and Kyle Shanninghan that's who's screwing the the Detroit Lions for getting in the playoffs.

No one should have expected the forty nine ers that have such a great season with all these injuries.

So I would say the Lions are not skim milk, but they're about one percent two percent that just isn't gonna make the playoffs.

And then it's tough.

I'm going to go with that too.

And then in the Cowboys, I mean their skim milk, it's just I think during their turning pro process, the churning process, where there you're pumping the milk and the cream, like they got lost in some shit because they got some fat in there.

They you know, they they feel like a creamy kind of team, but you got to do it consistently, and they haven't.

Those two you know, they had a gauntlet of games where they go and they beat freaking the Chiefs Philadelphia, and then they lose to the Lions, who were coming off a loss like that one.

That was it.

And then you lose to Minnesota last weekend.

You can't be a cream team and lose this time, this late in the season.

So exactly.

And then I also got the Panthers as some skim milk as well.

But it's a tricky one here because it's between like the Panthers and Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers have showed that they are skim milk as well.

They lost a lot of fat to their roster.

You know, I would say due to the injuries.

But now the players are back and they're still not performing the way that they should be performing.

The skim milk.

I'm just saying they're they're dipping in the skim milk and then they're going back to two percent.

But I think the Buccaneers do pull it off.

You know, they got to play the Panthers.

It's it's basically determined.

They control their faith, the Panthers and the Buccaneers, who they play each other two out of the three games twice, so it's who can beat down, you know, each other.

It's basically playoff games from here on exactly.

I think the Buccaneers do pull it off and go to the playoffs, and the Panthers become a skim milk team, you know, so and don't make the playoffs here all right, let's and that's what's great.

There is some meaningful football, and it's to you know, to get the seating, you know, and buying for a playoff spot.

But it's not for every team.

So the meaningful football games are great.

And the Texans and Jaguars will be playing meaningful football because they got to, you know, try to win their division and get good seating.

But the Texans, man, at first, I was like, man, I thought they were going to win their division.

This team is awful.

And then all of a sudden, JE was like, you said, they morphed into like some super power team.

And this defense has just become phenomenal.

They have an unbelievable pass rush, which is the heart and soul of their defense.

I mean, they got great corners last year, but we got a great what's their safety is probably.

One of the best, Yeah, great, pi Will.

I think the Niners are one of the cream teams from the NFC.

We'll do three cream teams.

Yeah, Another cream team is the Chicago Bears.

I mean with Caleb Williams, Ben Jonson and as their head coach, I mean, they've turned it around there.

It's a spectacular team this year.

They're ten and four right now.

What they're doing on the offense side of the ball, they got a balance attack, they got a pretty solid run game, they got a one two punch that is one of the best in the NFL with their running backs, and then Caleb Williams off the play action as well.

It's opening it up a lot there.

Loveland, their tight end, who's a rookie, you know, first round pick, top ten I believe, top ten pick to the Chicago Bears.

He's coming, you know through as a player as well.

He's understanding what the NFL is all about.

He's understanding the playbook.

And then the Bears, you know, they got one of the best defenses in the league that complements the offense tremendously.

So a solid team overall.

I just think they have a little bit of, you know, inexperience still, you know, at Ben Johnson's first year head coach.

When it gets deep into it, you know, I'm not sure if they're going to come out, you know, as as victorious as they've been throughout the regular season.

But they're definitely a cream team, and they prove that all year long with the competition that they've been going versus.

A defense leads the leading takeaways, but there is a lot of holes in that defense, and they got to be able to win with a pass play and a must pass situation.

We haven't seen that yet, but I do believe they're a cream team as well.

Another cream team last one cream what is like, Yeah, this is kind of Frenchy, but.

We're calling it.

We're calling a butter crumbler because he's a butter teams.

But uh, one percent teams.

Two percent teams is like the Bills, the Chargers, the Steelers like they go with the skim milk sometimes are at home, You don't.

We're just sure our cream team.

I think there are a two percent team.

They've shown that they're a cream team at some points, but they've also shown that they're a skim belt team.

So those like the Bills charging the team, it doesn't matter.

A cream team someone that's been dominating out there and and overcoming obstacles.

The Bills really haven't overcome too many options as I.

Mean, defense had to bail them out.

Could barely beat a forty four year old Philip Rivers, which not taking anything away from the Colts, but that's crazy, so he needs to get it going.

But they are a cream team.

Let's jump over the AFC oh NFC cream teams.

Oh ok, right, We'll start with the Patriots.

I mean, they're kind of like the Chicago Bears.

It's kind of hard to argue, like who had the better turnaround from being one of the worst teams in the NFL to now one of the best teams in the NFL.

And it's hilarious because they're both in second place in their conference as well, and they both have rookie head coaches, and they both have quarterbacks that were drafted, you know, in the same year.

So they're very, very similar.

So Patriots belong as a cream team.

They've been dominating.

They had the ten game win streak.

It was sad to see them let go of that twenty one point lead versus the Buffalo Bills last week.

You know, and what that shows is that you know, at any time they can collapse now and at any time, you know, it gives confidence to other teams that they can make a comeback in.

The Patriots can't close the door even though you know they're up by twenty one.

That kind of what exploits them just a little bit.

Yeah, it could have been a flute game.

But overall, the Patriots are cream team.

They played great football, you know, on offensive side of the ball, with no you know, not many turnovers.

That's you know, it's part of their strategy.

Hey, don't make mistakes.

Let the other recording the day before the game.

Let's jump over to the cream team for the AFC or the butter team for the AFC.

Let's go to Bronx.

We gotta go with the Broncos, right.

No, I mean, no doubt about it.

They proved it last week.

I would be up in the air if the Broncos were a butter team.

You know.

But after they beat the Green Bay Packers, their offense came through from them.

They stopped them on the Knicks side of the ball.

Bone Knicks showed that he can handle.

Is that a Bonnicks breakout game?

I mean, I would say it was a Bonnicks breakout game with pressure on the line versus a very solid defense.

Well, just it was the first time you saw like Bo throw like seam routes and throw the ball down the field, and they got him protected once Mica game stretch.

So get healthy and this could be a good test for them.

Look, that was a good recalibration to show each one of these players that ten game winning streaks aren't just you know, outside on the tree.

You can't just go pick those.

This game needs urgency.

Every play from here on out is important.

And that's what that loss could have done for them because they played well in the first half.

Shit, they're blown them out.

It just you ran out of depth, You ran out of plays because guys are hurt, and Josh Allen was Josh Allen.

Let's go into another cream team for the AFC.

I think the Jaguars are a cream team.

Trevor Lawrence is playing the best we've ever seen Trevor Lawrence play five touchdowns, throwing one, running fifty yards rushing.

This is what we envisioned of Trevor Lawrence when he came out from Clemson.

He was like the most hyped quarterback I can remember since Andrew Luck.

When it came to his like his tangibles, his height, strength, you know, his hands, size, his throwing ability, how he could run the football, and we're starting to see it.

Liam Cohen has that team rolling and that defense is sneaky, really good.

I think they're second in takeaways, so like they have a really good team.

Etn is a good ballplayer.

Jacobe Myers sure at an organization.

He did it in New Orleans and now he's doing it in Denver.

And you see how he's doing it as well.

He went and got his quarterback that he needed.

He's got Boone Knicks in charge, and he gets the players to play up to the standard that he needs them to play.

And that's how he creates a winning organization, winning football program is by changing the culture and he brings that culture to the table.

Sean Payton is the real deal and he's proven it once again.

It's it's pretty cool too because he's got old school coach vibes where he's you could tell that he rips him.

You know, he's not all about like you know, this whole collaborative this that like you could tell Sean Payton's an old school coach that has evolved to the newer player but still has old old school coach fundamentals.

I feel That's what I feel at least.

Yes, you gotta evolve as well.

I mean, especially when you've been around that long and you can't just be the old school a way anymore.

You know, players changed, attitude, changes, the way the NFL works, the way these rookies work now, the young bucks work.

I mean, you got to be able to evolve.

And he has done a spectacular job doing that to staying hip and staying with it, you know, with the young guys and knowing how to coach them, still in an old school way, but in the new school era.

And I still can't get that video out of him taking the huge bond rip with his what is his son of the crop, you know, as a GM.

And we saw that when we were in New England when he was basically I don't even know his title in New England.

I don't know anyone's title when they were at everything, but he worked basically at everything.

He's kind of all buttered GM, I would say, literally proving it.

I would say so right, Like he's kind of proven it too because he went to the Texans when they were like you know, if he and he's been just producing talent and picking guys and creating and building a team like like phenomenal.

He's doing a great job.

They got to get c J.

Stroud continually progressing.

Played well last week, he played pretty decent the week before that.

They're on a great win streaker.

I know it was a five games, four games, but like, yeah, they've been doing.

If CJ.

Stroud and Kaylee our old coach, can come together and continue to get better and better, they're going to be really scary.

Let's jump in.

Let's jump in to the butter teams.

Now, all the other teams that we didn't say that we're in, they're all cream teams.

We just didn't highlight them.

No, no, no, they're not cream teams.

They're like one percent two percent milk.

So cream teams are whole milk.

How it works the butter and we'll pick one from each division.

Are the conference that we think is the is the cream of the the cream?

What is like, Yeah, this is kind of sounds frenchy cumber, but we're calling it.

We're calling a butter creumber because he's a buttered teams.

But uh, one percent teams two percent teams is like the Bills, the Chargers, the Steelers, like they go with the skim milk sometimes are at whole milk.

You don't see, we're just sure our cream team.

I think there are two percent team.

They've shown that they're a cream team at some points, but they've also shown that they're a skim milk team.

So those like the Bills charging it doesn't matter.

A cream team someone that's been dominating out there and overcoming obstacles.

The Bills really haven't overcome too many obstacles.

I mean, you know, we're come a really bad defense.

Yeah, I mean four every they've given up thirty points four times and they're four known those games.

They should just give them thirty points every game.

Then that is nuts, all right.

It must trigger Josh Allen like, oh my gosh, our defense is playing terrible today, Like I got to step it up.

Like sometimes that trigger and be sometimes I'm like, oh my gosh, we're only going to win this game if I ball out.

So then boom, I got a ball out.

We exactly.

So who's who's our butter team for the NFC teams?

Okay, yeah, this is easy.

It's the Los Angeles Rams, Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay, po, Nicol Davante Adams.

They got a great defense.

They've just done a great job building this team.

They're just like the football team, you know, all across the board, like the Los Angeles Rams are bought.

Is the butter team of the NFC Jewels, I agree, And they get a lot of pressure with Verse and who's that other, uh Turner maybe Kobe Turner, Vers Young and Fisk.

They can get after the quarterback.

They may not get sacks, but they put a lot of pressure on the quarterback.

They do have a hole in the secondary.

Their secondary isn't the greatest.

They give up big plays.

But if they play complimentary football, they're just They're just super strong.

It's gonna be interesting to see how they handle not having Devonte Adams if he doesn't go tonight, which we're recording the day before the game.

Let's jump over to the cream team for the AFC or the butter team for the AFC.

Let's go to the Bronx.

We gotta go with the Broncos, right, No.

I mean no doubt about it.

They proved it last week.

I would be up in the air if the Broncos were a butter team, you know.

But after they beat the Green Bay packers or offense came through from they stopped them on the bon Nicks by the ball.

Bone Knicks showed that he can have.

Is that a Bonnicks breakout game?

I mean, I would say it was a Bonnicks breakout game with the pressure on the line versus a very solid defense.

Well, just it was the first time you saw like Bow throw like steam routes and throw the ball down the field.

And they got him protected.

Once Mica got you know, banged up or hurt whatever Micah happened, they were able to protect Bow and he was able to dissect that defense.

He had a couple of touchdown passes that we haven't seen him throw like in his career yet.

And then also, you know, we're so accustomed to see this team winning in the fourth quarter.

It was good to see them kind of get it going earlier in the game.

You know, bo Nicks, if he plays well, they have a defense that's really good with Bonito and Cooper and Allen on that D line.

You got Patrick Surtain, you got Hufanga in the second area as well.

They got ballplayers.

If they can continue it.

Man, Sean Payton, what a fucking joker, this guy, This guy cut Russell Wilson had a trillion dollars on the cap.

That was dead money, and now he's about to be potentially the one seed in the AFC with three weeks to go.

That's that's impressive.

Yes, yes, Sean Verry, I was gonna say shot, Yeah, Sean Payton.

I get them confused.

They're both great coaches, so if you get a computers it's understandable.

But Sean Payton, you know, is a culture changer.

He did it in New Orleans.

He's known for his offensive skill set and his offensive knowledge, but jewels, he should really be known for how he changes the culture at an organization.

He did it in New Orleans and now he's doing it in Denver.

And you see how he's doing it as well.

He went and got his quarterback that he needed.

He's got bone Knicks in charge, and he gets the players to play up to the standard that he needs them to play.

And that's how he creates a winning organization in a winning football program is by changing the culture and he brings that culture to the table.

Sean Payton is the real deal and he's proven it once again.

It's pretty cool too, because he's got old school coach vibes where he's you could tell that he rips them, you know, he's not all about like you know, this whole collaborative this that like you could tell Sean Payton's an old school coach that has evolved to the newer player but still has old old school coach fundamentals.

I feel, That's what I feel.

At least.

Yes, you gotta evolve as well.

I mean, especially when you've been around that long and you can't just be the old school a way anymore.

You know, players change, attitude, changes, the way the NFL works, the way these rookies work now, the young bucks work.

I mean, you gotta be a evolving He has done a spectacular job doing that, to staying hip and staying with it, you know, with the young guys and knowing how to coach them, still in an old school way, but in the new school era.

And I still can't get that video out of him taking the huge bond rip with his what is his his son?

What a fucking savage.

All right, let's go over our skim milk teams, cream teams and buttered teams.

We have our skim milk teams.

Oh categories, last four teams.

They're they're like one two percent teams.

They're they're they're like on the verge of being cream teams.

Steelers one percent, Chargers two percent.

Really banged up Bills, you know, teetering on cream team defense scares US Eagles a lot of they're also a two percent one percent team Packers.

We don't know how they're going to react without MICHAELH.

Parsons.

He's that big of a game changer.

So we'll categorize those guys into one percent two percent.

They're gonna make the playoffs, but we got to see more.

That's why we have these three weeks to continue our our categorizing of these teams.

But let's jump in.

We have our skim milk teams, which the teams will probably won't make it Ravens, Colts, Lions, Cowboys, Panthers, Bucks.

Our cream teams, teams that have been doing it all year and that are are on a good rise.

We got Niners, Bears, Seahawks, Patriots, Texans, Jags.

Wow.

Two AFC South teams are cream teams.

I never thought I would have heard that.

And then we have our butter teams, which are the cream burlet of the cream as Rob would say, and that is the Rams and Broncos.

These spots can change, but we'll see what happens.

Let's jump into the chills due to the week brought to by our favorite beer cores like it, cores like delivered straight to your door, Visit corslight dot com, slash dudes, and always celebrate responsibly.

Since it's that time of the year, Rob and I are going to answer some questions.

Ready, Jules, I got my cores like coll as the Rockies cheers to you all the way across the country from the East coast to the West coast.

Hey, cheers.

You know what's in between us?

M oh, the Rocky mountains, the Rocky mountains.

Look Rob his geography sand baggage.

I'm a math guy and I also Julian.

I love geography, geography in puzzles, Yes, puzzles as well.

And what my favorite puzzles are is puzzles of like maps, like puzzles of geography of countries and their cities.

You know, I'm putting the pieces together.

You learn about where the cities are, you learn geography.

I love to travel, so it's just great to have that knowledge, you know, and it's fun knowledge as well, and you learn about the beautiful places in the world, you know, and you learn about the cultures as well of those places.

And that's why I just knew where the Rockies were.

I knew they were in between the East Coast and West Coast because I just have that type of knowledge.

I love.

That's that's why they call you the Gronkxa Damis.

If you could give one gift to any player or coach this Christmas, who would it be and what would you be giving them?

Oh, dangels A tough question on the spot, man, I would give let's hear your answer, Yeah, give me some ideas.

I would give Justin Herbert, like three linemen if I could, because that's what they need to be a cream team, like three offensive linemen.

Yes, okay, so okay, I see where you're going with this.

Okay.

I would give Camscatibo a new ankle because I just love the way that he plays the game, you know, I just like that look.

I love, you know, just the energy and the enthusiasm that he you know, brings to the table for you know, the game of football, and what he does out on the field, he brings electricity.

He makes you enjoy the game.

He makes you be in the present moment because you don't know what type of play he's going to make next, or what type of hit, or what type of effort he's going to give next.

So I would give him a new ankle.

Even though the Giants are terrible and you know they're not winning this year, it would just be great to see him back out in the field because he gave New York at least hope, you know, out there, and now they just have zero hope because he's not even playing.

I would give Cam Skataboo and Puka Nakua a live stream to talk on for all us humans because it would be a lecture.
