Episode notes
Betting on the Eagles
- Bill Simmons bet on the Eagles, thinking the Cowboys would struggle with an injured Dak Prescott and Jason Garrett as coach.
- However, the Eagles' poor performance and Prescott's overthrows made him question his decision.
Jameis Winston's Performance
- Jameis Winston's consistently poor performance, including a pick-six in the first minute, leads to humorous speculation.
- Some suggest it's almost as if he intentionally plays poorly for comedic effect.
Pick-Six Record
- Jameis Winston is tied for the record of most pick-sixes in a season, alongside Peyton Manning and Rudy Bukich.
- Cousin Sal jokes that the field must have been shorter in Bukich's era.
