Jeff is away hunting turkeys this Thanksgiving, so the show’s original co-host has come to fill in. Nipper Knapp joins Steven for this 360th episode to get you all ready for Week 12 in the NFL. Nipper talks about what he has been up to since leaving the show and says he feels like a little like Brian Dunkleman but is happy for the shows success. The guys talk about Steven being a part of Nipper’s TV show creation, Gentrification.
The guys get right into NFL News and talk about the Vikings decision to fire head coach Brad Childress. Steven turns the book over to the “I Hate Brett Favre” side, while they both agree that it really is not all Brett’s fault. The guys talk about the Jeff Fisher and Vince Young problems in Tennessee and Young’s text apology to Fisher. Nipper simply calls Fisher, “mustache”. They also discuss the Patriots as the empire, the lack of no elite team in the NFL, the guys give Phillip Rivers some love and the guys send their thoughts and prayers to Titans OC Mike Heimerdinger who is suffering from cancer and has left the team to undergo chemotherapy. We wish him all the best.
Finally the guys look at all 16 games in Week 12. Nipper employs a strange new technique for picking games and only differs on 4 games from Steven. The big news is that Steven and Jeff differ on an unprecedented 11 games. Emma just said, “Whhhhaaaattt!” Steven picks the Challenge Game this week and he picks the Green Bay at Atlanta game. Steven has the Packers while Jeff has the Falcons and just as a side note, Nipper takes the Packers too. But not sure Nipper’s picks count!
Yes! a good listen before the games kick and to waste time before turkey is ready.
As you asked on the show we Brits celebrate Christmas, New Year Easter and according to the new Royal Weddings!!! Great show again guys!
I love the idea of picking from who had the best uniform. If I’m watching a game where I have no strong feelings either way I usually route for best uniform. However, that team usually looses so I would have picked against best uniform, in fact ill go and do that now!
Loved the show great job stepping in Nipper!
Not only an unprecedented number of different picks between Steven and Jeff this week (maybe because Jeff wasn’t there to get talked into changing any of his picks? or maybe just because Steven is getting desperate to catch up) but another show first with a discussion on sock design! Can only wonder what the next tangent will be…….. Just keep watching (or in this case listening).
I think Steven just committed tipping suicide.
The packers vs falcons game is going to come d
The packers vs falcons game is going to come down to a last minute field goal. I just do not see either team running away with this one
I called it! Last minute field goal wins it.
My poor Cowboys… how many games can the ‘aints win by 3 or less in a season? Conversely… The poor Bills – How many overtime losses can you have in a season?
Wow, my poor Colts- at least the Cowboys played well. Take comfort in that Steven =D
What is Manning’s record on national tv? Everyone says not to bet against him then, but it isn’t him I would bet against, it’s the rest of the team I’m worried about. Jeff, is it the beginning of the Caldwell era like you suspected??
